Episode 1000589090073

1:08 Voiceover phone number 1-800-LOVE-1-9-1 Dr. Bruce, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, tattoo removal specialist, emergency medicine specialist. What doesn't he specialize in? And by the way, I've never checked in now all these things, but to me, specializing in 100 things means sucking at 100 things. You can only specialize in like two or three things. It's like you can't you can't be the world's greatest athlete in 35 sports.

1:34 Dr. Bruce So I have an attention deficit driven career.

1:36 Adam All right. Don't atmosphere is here tonight. First time the band's been on the show. Yes. Yes, sir. Right. And they're going to be on Dear, Dear, Dear, Dear, Dear. In just a couple of few. What's happening? Minnesota. What's going on in Minnesota? The band's all from all born and raised in Minnesota.

2:25 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yep. Well, everybody but this guy, the ugly one next to us, he's from Cincinnati. Don't even give him the mic. He's not allowed to talk.

2:31 Adam Bruce, you're from Cincinnati?

2:33 Dr. Bruce No, I was.

2:34 Oh, to your left.

2:35 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce No, yeah, this guy over here.

2:36 Oh, I'm sorry.

2:37 Adam I'm sorry. I thought you pointed to your right.

2:39 Yeah.

2:39 Adam Cincy and then everybody.

2:41 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce The other.

2:42 Adam We call Cincy out here.

2:43 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce The bread on the sandwich. We're from Minneapolis. That guy me. And it's really cold there right now. We're actually happy to be out here in California right now.

2:50 Adam Yeah, it's what. But I heard I've only been there one time to Minnesota or Minneapolis. But I heard because of the weather, they just built everything inside.

2:58 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah. You know, you can get around without having to go outside in the downtown areas and stuff like that. But you still you're stuck in your house in the winter if you want to stay warm.

3:08 Adam I like I like the concept of ice fishing because fishing, fishing alone, just good weather fishing is you got to be joking.

3:18 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce You don't want to you really think there's something neat about like sitting in a shack on a lake. You saw the hole.

3:25 Adam I think it's an excuse to get loaded.

3:27 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I mean, people have whole better excuses to get loaded.

3:32 Adam I know. But there's something like if you sat on your sofa and got drunk on a Sunday, you got a problem with alcohol. But if you push a outhouse out the middle of the lake, you got more problems than just alcohol. You're a sportsman. Now you're a sportsman. I see. I just like the idea. Like I never knew that people had little cabins with skis on them and they push them out and they drill a hole and then they just sit there and get everything you know is from grumpy, seeing grumpy old men. No, no, I had a girlfriend that was from that neck of the woods and the idea of just sitting on a frozen block. There's probably cooler full of beer, ironically, as if you couldn't just set it on the ground. But you just sit there and get loaded, right? It's all about getting drunk.

4:17 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I mean, I don't ice fish. I don't.

4:18 Adam You don't.

4:19 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Come on, man. Sometimes I ice fish.

4:22 Adam But you're right.

4:22 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce It's an excuse to get.

4:24 Adam It's it. By the way, it seems like you're you're asking for trouble too when you fire up the big auger bit and you're drilling and you're standing over the hole you're drilling and seem like you just pretty good chance you may end up in the lake with the fish and some drunk guy may fish you out and eat you.

4:38 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I think you should try it.

4:39 Adam I think I'm going to try that.

4:40 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I think you should.

4:41 Adam I'm going to get into that because I think I think that's my calling.

4:45 Dr. Bruce I need to get loaded and do ice sailing.

4:49 Adam Just the point is is I need to sit and get drunk and have a reason. That's all I'm saying.

4:55 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I mean Seinfeld can be an excuse to get loaded like.

4:57 Adam All right. I'm going to do that. So anyway, we're going to hear something off the CD. I'm trying to think of one else. Spin magazines named around one of the top of two thousand and three out of how many did they give you?

5:12 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce How many like two nine hundred and twelve? No, no, I think I think it was like fifty or twenty or a normal increment. Yeah, those guys are nice people.

5:22 Adam It's a little tip of the hat there from Spin magazine and these guys are going on tour and going to be playing in Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Philly, Boston, New York, Washington, DC and Denver and that's all in the next about three weeks or so. So keep keep an eye out for them. All right. Let's go to the phones because we have a question for the band. Jeff.

5:46 Caller Jeff from Minneapolis. Hello.

5:48 Adam That's you, Jeff.

5:50 Caller Hey, Adam. It's fun to say that you're one of the funniest and coolest guys that's on the air right now.

5:54 Adam Thank you. I'm looking forward to coming to Fair City and and ice fishing right on. Well, let me ask this real quick, dude. There's not exactly ten thousand lakes, are there?

6:04 Caller Uh I think there's more than that.

6:05 Adam More.

6:06 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah. They just keep popping up.

6:08 Caller Yeah.

6:08 Adam So, maybe at a time.

6:10 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce This is like multiplying.

6:12 Caller I'm actually.

6:13 Adam Kick it up to like twelve thousand lakes or something or maybe it doesn't really roll.

6:17 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Like every time it rains, there's like a new lake.

6:19 Adam Oh, really?

6:20 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce In Minnesota.

6:20 Dr. Bruce It's where the Lakers got their name.

6:22 Caller I actually live on a lake. I'm looking out right now. I live on Prior Lake.

6:25 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Do you ice fish?

6:26 Caller Prior Lake.

6:26 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Prior Lake.

6:29 Adam Do you do any ice fishing, Jeff?

6:30 Caller No, that's kind of like a redneck thing out here.

6:33 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Okay, here's a question. Even if you did, would you admit it?

6:37 Caller No.

6:39 Adam What's your question for the band, Jeff?

6:40 Caller Oh, I have a question. Like when you guys like slug, dibs, and when you guys come back to Minneapolis and play like first ever Triple Rock, like is it harder to put on a good show or like I mean is there more pressure to put on a good show or do you think it just comes more naturally because we're like, you know, we we're here to see you guys, you know? Yeah.

6:59 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I mean, there's definitely a lot more pressure, man. Like, you know, I mean, typically, any one of you can bump into me on Lindale Avenue drunk at four in the afternoon and so I gotta go like further out of my way to like, you know, give you something or I don't know. You're like, there's a lot more pressure, man. You've seen me how many times?

7:18 Caller I've seen you. I saw you guys like three times the first half and I'm not twenty-one. I actually work at the Triple Rock but I didn't see you guys at that show and I heard Deb's got hit in the head with like a bottle or something.

7:30 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce His head's like a magnet for bottles.

7:33 Caller I bumped into you a lot of times at Fifth Elements.

7:36 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah, exactly and I think that's what it is. It's kind of like I can't just kind of I wish I could just get up there and like, you know, act like a fool but for some reason or another, it tends to get a lot more personal when I play in the city so it is a little bit more pressure, a little bit more neurosis.

7:52 Adam Yeah, I feel that when bands come on here from like England, like when Blur comes on and we're like, how you guys doing today?

8:02 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Shut up.

8:03 Adam You know, they're like, they don't care because they're not none of their friends are going to hear the show is the way they're like, look, if I was doing a talk show in Italy, I just pull my balls out and I just be sitting there with my legs spread and how's that any different than right now? I just no, I'm talking about on television. I have my balls out on radio. That's because it's, you know, it's dicey in here. It's a little warm. It's gamey. I like, I like to let them breathe. But the point is, is if I, if I was in another country doing a show, I'd just be scratching my nuts and picking my nose and telling everyone to F off and not even bother, not even bother trying to come up with anything entertaining. But if you're in front of your people, you gotta, you gotta do it. So when you guys are in Minneapolis, you gotta put on a good show. And then when you go across the seats, I think you're scaring the balls out.

8:48 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce It's okay. We get to suck everywhere else but Minneapolis.

8:51 Adam That's right.

8:51 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce So Jeff, don't move.

8:53 Adam No, that's what I'm saying. I mean, typically bands from over there. We have bands in here from England all the time and they're typically, I don't want to call them A-holes, but they're A-holes.

9:02 Dr. Bruce But that's the English.

9:04 Adam Yeah, but they're not A-holes. I mean, like Coldplay was a nice, but we used to have a lot of A-hole English bands. And it's because I realized they don't really care. It's no big deal. Like they were putting an effort in. It's like you'd ask them a question and they'd be like, I don't know. It's whatever. They didn't even bother answering questions and stuff. And I thought about it. They're just getting back on a plane and going back to Hounslow or something. And no one, no one, they don't know. They don't care. It's the same way. Is that what I'm saying? It's like how you drive a rental car. Who cares? Throw it in reverse while you're still going forward. Doesn't matter. Just no one's going to know. You don't have to keep it. No one's going to call you on. I'm just saying you got to put out when you're in your hometown. That's all. Clint.

9:52 Hey.

9:53 Adam You're 25.

9:55 Caller Yes, sir. Adam, have you ever had a funny idea?

9:58 Adam Yeah.

9:59 Caller Oh, OK. I just you just cracked me up nightly.

10:03 Adam Oh, it's a compliment. Thank you. You ought to hear how bad my ideas are when I go to England. I'm hanging out.

10:13 Caller It's a British comedy that's actually funny.

10:15 Adam What's that?

10:16 Caller Show me a British comedy on their TV. That's actually funny.

10:19 Adam That's a good point. Everybody out here, if you if you're in Hollywood, everyone's like, oh, this is great. It's from it's got to be great. It's from Britain.

10:25 Dr. Bruce Well, money's I thought I mean, all right. Oh, holy grails.

10:29 Adam Good. All right. I go ahead, Clint.

10:31 Caller Dr. Bruce, I heard you talking a couple of nights ago about a federal and how much you hate it. And I've worked night and stock shelves and I take one or two pills occasionally to help me stay awake and be alert because caffeine doesn't, doesn't help. So I want to know. And I'm a type one diabetic too. So I wanted to hear if there's anyone else.

10:54 Adam What about diabetes and ephedra?

10:56 Dr. Bruce Well, it puts you at more risk to have arrhythmias, to have any of the problems that you characteristically have with diabetes. Because, first of all, ephedrine is one molecule away from methamphetamine to get the same stimulant effect, which is some people are trying to get a low grade stimulant effect, whether it's to stay away from it.

11:13 Adam When you say molecule, like we hear, we think that just means like Smurfs ass hair. Like we say in construction, like that one molecule, man, it's just this close, but you literally mean one molecule.

11:25 Dr. Bruce Water is H2O. So if you take an oxygen and a hydrogen.

11:29 Adam Hold on, dude, and if that water freezes and I drill it, will I get drunk?

11:36 Dr. Bruce So if you take the oxygen, right, and just, for example, if you take an oxygen and a hydrogen off of ephedrine, you have methamphetamine. So that's how close you are. Now the difference is in your body, it takes more ephedrine, a higher blood level to get into the brain. Methamphetamine is more fat soluble. It goes into the brain easier. So to get that stimulant feeling in the brain, you need a higher blood level of ephedrine. And actually there's more risk to your heart, your blood pressure, your nerves.

12:05 Adam They're pulling it all off the shelves now. So people aren't going to be able to get it anymore. But what do you think young Clint should take instead of ephedrine if he wants to stay up?

12:15 Dr. Bruce He should manage his blood sugars. He should eat right and exercise and drink lots of water, seriously. Because here's the problem, after about seven days of taking any dose of ephedrine, even if it's a reasonable dose, he's going to develop a tolerance to it and need more.

12:29 Adam What about caffeine pills?

12:31 Dr. Bruce It's the same thing, you develop a tolerance. Your body immediately adjusts to whatever you put in that alters your baseline state. Well, how well are you controlling your diabetes? How seriously are you taking it? Because people tend not to have the complications till later in life, and they don't pay that much attention to careful management of their sugar levels. That's when the damage is done.

12:56 Caller My A1C's aren't where they should be.

12:58 Dr. Bruce They're not?

12:59 Caller No, no. So you're saying to me it will be easier to stay awake if I...

13:05 Dr. Bruce If you're well high, if you drink lots of fluids, A1C's are... It's a way of looking at over a long period of time how well your sugar is controlling. Yeah.

13:13 Adam Let me say this.

13:15 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Hey, I used to take lots of Viber and I used to drive a truck, and I don't know if this is that similar, but I do know that when I stopped taking this stuff, I crashed, and it took a minute for me to get over the fact that I was doing that. And I'm a caffeine freak. I drink like about three pots of coffee a day. Not really that much, but it feels like that. And so I can't imagine the situation. I don't know what the diabetes like does to it, but when I was taking the Viber, it was because I had an overnight job stocking shelves, and it helped me do my job. It helped me stay awake. Even though I was getting normal sleep on the regular, it still was really hard for me to stay awake on that on that kind of on on on that. Yeah.

13:54 Adam So, mom, mom, as long as it hasn't affected the speech patterns, I think we're good. Yeah. Now, now. But OK, here's what I want to hear. Here's what I want to hear. That's right. You're on a lesson. It happens. You get on a roll and then right at the end, just all right now. I just did it there. Here's what I ask about water, how come everyone's been begging everyone to drink water for the last 15 years? And now everyone's drinking a ton of water and everyone's still fat.

14:21 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce People don't work out.

14:23 Adam But you guys, you guys remember like it was like like 10 years ago, everyone would say, you got to drink more water. You got to drink like eight, eight full glasses of water every day. Every dietician would just end every sermon with more water, more water, not drinking enough water. And and by the way, people didn't drink much water. You didn't carry water with you. I mean, you didn't drink water in your car. You wouldn't have these. You didn't you didn't have these satchels filled with water and stuff like you do now. Now everyone drinks a ton of water and everyone's fatter than they ever were.

14:55 Dr. Bruce Well, there's no why no direct relation with why, because it's not a weight thing.

15:00 Adam But you a-holes told us all to drink more water.

15:02 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce You got to pee more.

15:03 Adam For the last 15 years. And now everyone's still fat. We're just we're just hydrated.

15:07 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce More meat.

15:08 Adam Yeah.

15:08 Dr. Bruce It's a very poorly stated question.

15:10 Adam Here's what I want to say. Americans are drinking 500 times more water than they drank 15 years ago. Right. You never saw anyone drinking water in their car. You never saw anyone drinking water while they were walking. They weren't chugging and walking. They weren't riding and chugging. They weren't in their office and chugging water. Everyone's drinking a ton more water. Everyone's the same.

15:32 Dr. Bruce No, they're not.

15:32 Adam They're fatter.

15:33 Dr. Bruce Let me give you an example.

15:34 Adam They're fatter.

15:34 Dr. Bruce If you're drinking your one, two, three, four cups of coffee in the morning and it gets you going, you're going to crash in the afternoon. We're not talking about people doing a line of speed and staying up for days. But if you're drinking water, the equivalent amount, you're going to have the same energy. You're going to have an even energy level, better output, better productivity during the day. Also, your body relies on water to wash out impurities.

15:56 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce What are you asking? Are you asking why are people still fat or more fat than ever?

16:01 Adam I'm saying-

16:01 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Because there's water in the coffee.

16:04 Adam I'm saying that 10 years ago, all any of the dieticians said is everyone's got to drink more water. It's the healthiest thing you can do. Now everyone drinks a ton more water and everyone's fatter than ever. So I'm just saying, I want an apology. That's all. I want an apology from the doctors and the dieticians, all begging everyone to drink water. Everyone drinks a ton of water now. They're all fat.

16:26 Dr. Bruce No apology. And you can smell. If you look at how much sugar there is in one soft drink, if you replace just a couple of- Quiet down.

16:33 Adam Thank you. Kelly?

16:35 Yes.

16:36 Adam You're 23? Your hubby leaves work to go to a strip club and then lies about it?

16:45 Caller He would go to work for like four hours to the eight-hour shift and then he'd be going a couple of times. He went to the strip club.

16:52 Adam And he lies about it?

16:54 Caller Yeah.

16:55 Adam He's doing a god-awful job of lying about it, by the way.

16:59 Caller Pretty much.

16:59 Adam If you really think about it.

17:01 Caller He has family.

17:02 Adam If you know about it, that means the lying is not effective. Unless he's bragging about it, like, hey, I nailed five hookers.

17:10 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Wait, how does she know about it? How did you find out?

17:13 Caller Well, he's got family and friends that I know at his work. And they're the ones who came back and told me about it.

17:20 Adam Well, what kind of puss? Rats out. The guy goes over for a little businessman's lunch, you know, with the $3.99 buffet. At the Hello Kitty and gets on the horn and rats out the coworker, the, you know, the uncle.

17:35 Caller Well, they came back and told me because we just had a baby. About three months ago.

17:41 Adam All right. Well, what's he doing at this strip club?

17:44 Caller Well, according to him, mostly he just says he's not he's not really watching it, according to him.

17:50 Adam He's reading. They got the best chili fries in all of Wisconsin over there. I put I put blinders on and pull my collar up high on my jacket. I look down at my feet and I walk with purpose right to that right to the chili fries. Eat them and leave.

18:08 Dr. Bruce Somebody says, how often is he going and how much money is he spending? And how is it impacting? How do you see it impacting your relationship?

18:15 Caller Well, he's not spending any money.

18:19 Adam His body?

18:19 Caller Yeah. Who is this?

18:21 Who is this guy?

18:22 Adam I'm going to hang out with him. What's that?

18:24 Caller He's going to all these cash stores and getting advanced money, his friend is. And then he was taking him out there.

18:32 Adam So his friend is?

18:33 Caller His friend is basically, I would say, influencing him to go up. Even though he wanted me to, this friend wanted me to be able to like him and be able to get along with him in his life.

18:45 Adam All right, well, maybe this is heading towards swinging. I don't know. Are these topless places?

18:51 Caller Yes.

18:53 Adam And boy, topless place is calling from Wisconsin in January.

18:59 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce That's going to be where you're at in Wisconsin.

19:01 Caller We're in about a half an hour from Madison.

19:06 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Is that the place right off on 94, the purple one?

19:11 Caller He's going to the Dells.

19:13 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Oh, yeah.

19:14 Adam Okay. Would you say stripper? Would you say purple is the number one strip joint color?

19:19 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I hope so.

19:20 Adam Head shop.

19:20 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah.

19:21 Adam Strip.

19:22 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah.

19:23 Adam Yeah.

19:24 Caller He confessed to me where he was going and everything like that.

19:28 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce What part of it?

19:43 Adam I like when they have to take care of a little business in the middle of their crappy boner rants.

19:49 Dr. Bruce So, Kelly, what's going on in the relationship right now, though? You've had a baby frequently after a baby, the sex dies down and...

19:56 Caller No, it didn't die down.

19:59 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce What part bothers you the most? Is it the fact that he lied about it or the fact that he's going to this venue?

20:05 Caller Well, it's the fact that he had to lie to me about it and when I found out he had lied about it, it kind of made me feel like he wasn't finding me as attractive anymore.

20:15 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Okay, so what do you think his motive to lie would be? Is he afraid of your reaction? Is he afraid of disappointing you or hurting you or do you think it's just straight snake stuff? What's the motive?

20:26 Caller I'd probably say it's because he doesn't want to hurt me and he doesn't want me to get mad at him.

20:33 Adam Well, let me explain something with guys and lying and the syndrome that they get into with women. I'm putting Kelly on hold for a second. Here's how it works. Woman finds a guy's porn movie. Woman is surprised. What is this? Woman makes proclamation. This will not be allowed in the house anymore. Guy says, fine, fine, it'll be out of the house. Guy has no intention of getting it out of the house and then the lying begins. If you tell a guy, look, swear you'll never go to a strip club, swear you'll never beat off in the shower, swear you'll never look at another woman, swear you'll never look at any pornography, all you're going to get is a lie. Now, it's a different kind of lying than one where you're trying to bilk someone out of money or something like that. You're really just trying to let sleeping dogs lie here. You realize you've beaten off to a little porn every once in a while is not going to hurt the relationship or the way you feel about your woman, but she doesn't realize that in order to avoid a little conflict on the home front. You just lie. I mean, this is this is common. This is what guys do. And by the way, women think guys are going to strip clubs and all the strippers are going, Oh, look at Kelly's husband. The way his gut slops over his belt. Look at that big double chin and those pork chop sideburns. I got to get me some of that. Well, no, they think he's a disgusting pig with the crazy red hair and he's got the bad argyle sweater on and all they want to do is get a couple of bucks from his buddy and then move on. There's nothing sexual going on. Right. Yes.

22:02 Dr. Bruce The important part, a lot of women have a hard time and I've heard Drew talk about, you know, there's a level of maturity that is required in understanding the masturbation, you know, low level interest in pornography. But, when you get into, you know, going to strip clubs, lying about it, then you start to wonder.

22:20 Adam Well, you got to lie. You got to lie.

22:21 Dr. Bruce I get to start on slippery slope. You got to lie.

22:24 Adam I was like, I like the idea of if you take, if you took a hundred guys who all went to a strip club and then reported back there with their women, it was none of their ideas. It's like, oh man, I wanted to get back to the hotel. I want to gamble. I was wanting to get to the casino, but Herb, Herb had to had to swing by Desert Puntangs and there was like I do wait in the car. I had to go in. Well, yeah, but six hours goes by pretty fast. You know, I was trying to get Herb out of there after after at ten minutes, but he wouldn't leave and then everyone just tells everyone it was everyone else's idea. All right. Let's we're going to straighten Kelly out. Kelly.

23:01 Yeah.

23:03 Adam So here's the thing about your husband. You should tell him, look, it's OK to look at a little porno every once in a while and it's OK to go to strip club every once in a while. And one of your buddies is getting married. There's a bachelor party, something like that. No big deal. Some old college buddies, high school buddies back in the town go to the strip club once in a while. But you shouldn't be knocking off work at noon and go into the strip club on a Tuesday.

23:28 Caller Oh, no, I got it at noon. He works from a night shift.

23:32 Adam Oh, well, that's cool.

23:34 Dr. Bruce He's there all day.

23:35 Adam That's fine. You work a night shift. That's a perk.

23:37 Dr. Bruce The important thing is that she not overreact, but sit him down and talk to him about it seriously.

23:41 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I think you should ask him, why is he lying? What is he really afraid of? I mean, I think it depends on if the lying is a is a reoccurring thing. But if you're looking at what just happened here, he basically was trying to not look bad in front of you. Wait, you know what we have to clarify? Is he lying to you or not telling you what he does?

24:18 Dr. Bruce The friend that's going to get the advance cash. That's trouble.

24:21 Adam Yeah, I like to swing with that guy.

24:23 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I think he's just insecure about how you're going to look at him. And so he's trying to hide something like that from you.

24:27 But he's just eating.

24:29 Adam Guys always lie. You have to lie if you're going to a strip club.

24:32 It's lunch. All right.

24:33 Adam We didn't solve her problem at all. We gots to take a break. Let me just say this, is someone something ringing? Oh, is that Bruce? Do we not have this conversation last night? This is what I love about Bruce. Bruce, he needs to take a phone call right now. He's a doctor who never, ever learns. Bruce, did we have this conversation last night? Are you on call? No. What's this stupid tager going off of? What's going off, Bruce? What is exactly the same thing that happened last night?

25:08 Dr. Bruce It goes into role mode and it notifies.

25:10 Adam Remember, we had this conversation last night? Yeah, the ring's on. Yeah, remember you said that last night? All right. Everyone, real fast, cabin fever. I got to do this promotion and we go to Brian Gutt.

25:20 Dr. Bruce Do the Stephen Baldwin impersonation.

25:23 Adam What is the Stephen Baldwin impersonation?

25:25 Dr. Bruce He did the Alec Baldwin. Stephen Baldwin doing the Alec Baldwin. Remember when he was reading the last night?

25:28 Adam All right, let's go turn your pager back on and get out of here. All callers are good on the air tonight who are over 18 are going to get a cabin fever DVD. And that's a, you know, they get all the behind the scenes crap and all that kind of stuff. And then you register to win a ski vacation up to Whistler, which is in Canada, Dr. Drew says. And you know how Dr. Drew knows so much about skiing? Where do you think his god damn ass is right now skiing while I bust my hump over a hot mic? That's how you know, Drew's if Drew were here, ironically, not skiing, he could tell you how good it is to ski at Whistler.

26:05 Dr. Bruce He's meeting. All I know, he may be at Whistler right now meeting is continuing medical education requirements.

26:10 Adam Yeah, right. Right. Driving a snowcat and then drinking hot toddies by the fireplace with muck locks. Probably doing some ice fishing. Anyway, you call in, you get on the air, you get the DVD. If you're over 18, we put you in for the drawing and the amount I talk, we only talk to like two people over 18 every week. Like a 50-50 chance of winning this vacation. You and four friends, you go to the cabin, you go up there and Bigfoot eats you. And that's all nice. All right. Atmosphere is in studio tonight. They're going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday. We're going to take a quick break. Dr. Bruce is in the hissy. We'll hear a song from Atmosphere and we'll do all that after this. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Bruce. Dr. Bruce filling in for Dr. Drew. And this is Mr. Dibs. And Ant and Slug, and all here from- Yeah, skiing. All here from Atmosphere. We're gonna hear something off the- They love Dr. Drew.

27:36 Dr. Bruce Wasn't that funny?

27:38 Adam I thought it was, yeah, Pan loved it. They're gonna be, Atmosphere's gonna be on that Dear, Dear, Dear Friends show, Jimmy Kimmel Live this Friday. We'll also hear something off the new CD, 7th Travels, and all that. Oh, also I should say that Drew, Dr. Drew, you remember him, he used to sit right there.

28:00 Dr. Bruce Dictionary of Medicine Specialist.

28:01 Adam Yep, Dictionary of Medicine Specialist. We're gonna be at Stanford, and University of Stanford. Is that called the University of Stanford?

28:08 Dr. Bruce Stanford University.

28:09 Adam Yeah, you never hear it called the University of Stanford, Dan.

28:12 Dr. Bruce It's not. Stanford University.

28:13 Adam It's different. Yeah, something different. How do you decide what's the University of? You gotta be a city name or something?

28:19 Dr. Bruce You're asking me?

28:19 Adam Yeah, well, I mean, you gotta be, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, of has to be like a city or a state, maybe.

28:25 Dr. Bruce They're real picky, I know it, but it's like school of medicine, medical school. You can't make that mistake. No, really?

28:29 Adam All right, anyway, Stanford University, we're gonna be in Palo Alto tomorrow night, y'all. So if you wanna go see the show, that's all I know. I don't know where it is or how much it costs or what the deal is, but we'll be at Stanford tomorrow. All right, let's talk to Erica, who's 17. Erica? Calling from Riverside?

28:52 Caller Yep.

28:53 Adam Yeah, see, that's our Cincinnati. What's up there, Erica?

28:59 Caller I have a couple of questions because I wanna get a vertical hip piercing next month, my turn 18, and I was a little concerned because I read some stuff, I know you're not supposed to read on the internet, but they said that basically you become immune to the feeling after a while, and I don't wanna lose that.

29:19 Adam That's a tough trade-off because on one hand, you don't wanna lose sensation in your clitoris, on the other hand, you have to put a spear through it at some point, yes? I mean, what are you gonna do? That's tough. I like piercings, so. You just gotta put the spear through it, and hope for the best. I mean, my mother, my grandmother all went through it.

29:39 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.

29:41 Adam What do you think it's gonna do for you?

29:49 Caller I would like to have it down there, and I like piercings too, so.

29:55 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I know, but why there? I like piercings too, but I haven't pierced my clitoris yet.

30:00 Adam But, the night is young, by the way. We may still get to that. Erica, yeah, and by the way, what about having the guy with, you know, the bone going through his nose whose smells of malt liquor, just telling you, yeah, spread them, sweetie. Hey, nice, nice shave. That's sweet. What are you, 17? That's me. That's me. That's a great gig. How much you pay him? Like you're paying him? What a gig.

30:33 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I don't know. I think that your clitoris is probably, you know, as important as like say your eyeball. Don't pierce either.

30:41 Adam Yeah, it's the hood. And what do you mean a vertical one? I'm hip to the notion of vertical, but I didn't know they had the ones, I don't know, there's a difference. They usually do the cross ones. I don't know.

30:55 Dr. Bruce And I've talked to piercing artists or experts or whatever, and they're dispelling the myth commonly. People come in and they expect increased sensation or some improvement in sexual function. That's just not part of it.

31:12 You're gonna lose the sensation after about two months. My clit doesn't feel good anymore after I got mine pierced.

31:19 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce And he touches his a lot.

31:20 Adam It's bulbous, it's purple. I think it's infected.

31:23 Caller It's definitely infected.

31:25 Dr. Bruce Why don't you start with like a belly button piercing or something like that?

31:30 Caller Well, I don't want anything on my face and I have my nipples done already.

31:33 Adam All right.

31:34 Dr. Bruce Oh, you already did. Do you have any abuse issues in the past?

31:37 Adam What'd your dad do? You're calling from Riverside. You gotta be a mess.

31:41 Caller No, yeah.

31:43 Caller I think it was when Bruce was on, too.

31:44 Caller Yeah. No.

31:46 Adam Bruce skiing again. Where's your dad?

31:49 Caller He was from Riverside, Austin.

31:51 Dr. Bruce No, but do you have any kind of abuse issue?

31:54 Adam What'd he do, abandon the family?

31:55 Dr. Bruce Problems.

31:58 Adam Oh, your aunt. Wow. That's tough. When you're not black and you live with your aunt, that's problems. If you're black, that's what you do. It's like, as soon as, I mean, black's like, here, here, you take my kid, I'll take your kid. That way we'll each be raised by their aunt. There's some sort of like, aunt exchange program in the black community. I haven't figured it out yet. And I'm not sure how there's enough aunts to go around where every single person just gets raised by their aunt. I'm guessing that the aunt gives her kids to her sister to raise and therefore everyone can be raised by their aunts and not by, you see what I'm saying?

32:29 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce It stopped being funny a while ago.

32:31 Adam Okay, all right, all right. That's, that's cruel. Okay, but listen, you hear a black family raised by the aunts, that's cool. You hear white family, that's trouble. That's big time, that's abuse. You see what I'm saying?

32:42 Dr. Bruce What did Erika, what'd you call about, what'd you call about the last time Erika?

32:47 Caller Um, it was because I had, I was asking about anal sex. I was the girl that had anal sex before vaginal sex. Remember, remember, you tased me about it.

32:57 Adam Oh, I did? Doesn't sound like me. Okay, listen, Erika, I rarely say this, but could you find Jesus Christ or something?

33:10 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Ooh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

33:10 Adam Now that's trouble.

33:12 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Like honestly, I think you should just shy away from piercing your hood. I agree. I think it's that simple. Like it's a easy decision to make. Like, you know, like you're gonna deal with this forever and you kind of want it to work forever and you don't want to lose that sensation because once that's gone, what the hell else you got? You live in Riverside. It's all you got.

33:31 Adam Yeah.

33:31 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce So, you know, enjoy it.

33:33 Adam Yeah, and listen, get the hell out of Riverside and get a decent job and stop acting out, would you please?

33:38 Dr. Bruce Yeah, Erika, you know, you're free to do whatever you want, especially when you're 18, but sometimes some of the overt interest in piercing means there are some personal issues, some abuse issues in the past. You need to go and talk to somebody.

33:52 Adam Oh, listen, just don't have any kids, please. We'll put an end to the cycle. That's what it is. Don't have any kids and just do whatever you want because we're not going to talk around anything. Let's take a quick call. Someone who's bi, long girlfriend, a ton of money.

34:08 Money Ashley.

34:11 Adam And then we're going to hear a song, by the way.

34:13 Ashley.

34:14 Adam 21. Yeah. Yeah. You're perky. I like that. You're bisexual?

34:20 Caller Well, I was before I got married.

34:24 Adam Little sexual abuse in the past?

34:27 Caller Oh, not at all.

34:27 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Did you get married to a guy or a girl?

34:29 Caller I got married to a boy at 21. And Adam, I would like to say long time fan of The Man Show before I got married.

34:41 Adam All right, now hold on a second. I like it. Sounds like a stewardess from the 60s. I like that. I like Ashley. I like the cut of her jib. I want to hear a song from Atmosphere and I want to get it in this break before we have to go. So let's do that and then we'll come back. We'll take a break and we'll get to Ashley. All right, we got a song from, how are you doing there, Chris? You doing good? Anderson, you ready to rock here? All right. This song is called Trying to Find an Ambulance. Wait a minute. What word is that?

35:18 Dr. Bruce I'm trying to balance.

35:21 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I could use an ambulance too, quite honestly.

35:23 Adam All right, I got it now. It's kind of turning into one word now.

35:27 Dr. Bruce Warren came in here and asked me if I could read that. And I said, doesn't matter, Adam's going to make fun of what you wrote no matter what. I read it fine the first time, so just in defense of poor Lennart.

35:36 Adam Sorry, screwed me up all over.

35:38 Dr. Bruce Okay.

35:38 Adam Trying to find a balance.

39:59 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Oh my god, I love that song.

40:00 Adam Oh man.

40:04 Great song of all time.

40:07 Adam Seventh Travels is the name of the CD. Trying to find a balance.

40:11 Canadians love it.

40:12 Adam Is the name of the song.

40:14 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Trying to drive an ambulance.

40:15 Adam Atmosphere is here tonight. We gotta take a break. When we come back, we'll speak to young Ashley 21. Perky, I like her voice.

40:23 Caller Ashley?

40:24 Adam Ashley.

40:25 Caller All right.

40:26 Adam No sexual abuse, huh?

40:28 Caller No, not at all.

40:30 Adam That's my girl, all right? You think you can keep from being sexually abused for about four minutes?

40:36 Caller Oh, well, I would hope I wouldn't be sexually abused in four minutes. I would be terrible to go.

40:44 Adam I'm gonna beat off. Dr. Bruce, you and Drew, you got the same thing. You like to pack it out of here while the mics are still hot. I told Drew, we're gonna go to break in about two minutes. He's like, yeah. Throws the chair out, starts walking out of the goddamn door, he's like, you wanna wait till we actually begin to break before you start taking a leak? Come on, Bruce, focus now. All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll be back with the atmosphere. Dr. Bruce, if we don't fire him in the interim and Ashley after this. Loveline. We'll be right back. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Atmosphere's here. Actually, Slug is here from Atmosphere, and here comes DJ. What?

41:41 Dr. Bruce You call me Dr. Drew. That's fine.

41:42 Adam Oh, I call you Drew? Wait a minute, did I? I said Slug is here.

41:49 Dr. Bruce You said I'm Adam, and that's Dr. Drew.

41:51 Adam Oh, I did.

41:52 Dr. Bruce Yeah.

41:53 Adam Here's the whole thing, Bruce. First off.

41:55 Dr. Bruce That's a compliment. I have no problem.

41:58 Adam It's a better life.

41:59 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce All right, you be Dr. Drew, I'll be Slug, you be Ant, and you be Mr. Dibs.

42:03 Adam You got a crazy wife you gotta deal with, but other than that, it's a good life. You get to be on TV every once in a while. You get the respect of your peers, instead of them all laughing maniacally behind your back. And I can't say I'm Adam, and that's Dr. Drew 7,000 times, and then change midstream. So just be Drew.

42:21 Dr. Bruce All right? No problem.

42:22 Adam It'll be easy. And I'll tell you what, I'll make it fair. I'll call myself Andy. All right?

42:26 Dr. Bruce Andy.

42:27 Adam Yeah, I'll call myself Andy.

42:28 Caller Andy.

42:28 Adam So I'll screw my own name up. Seventh Travels is the name of the CD. When we left off, we were going to speak to Ashley, who's 21. She's bi, she's married. I don't know. Ashley? All right. Are you married to a man now?

42:47 Dr. Bruce Yes.

42:51 Adam Okay, hold on. Never sexually abused?

42:54 Caller Never, ever.

42:55 Adam When did you lose your virginity?

42:58 Caller I lost my virginity about 18, in my senior year in high school. I had been dating the guy for three years.

43:03 Adam Uh-huh.

43:04 Caller My dad passed away when I was about six, so it's not like...

43:08 Adam Oh, oh, because you sound six. That's what happens. Where the trauma is, that's where you get locked in.

43:15 Caller Oh, for sure, no. I just had a baby who was born about three and a half months prematurely, and he's doing just fine now. They thought that he might pass away for a while and that he's been doing great for a while. And he's actually named after my stepdad who never did a thing wrong. He actually told me, you know, go out, be wild, do whatever you want to do. That's your choice. You're an adult. That's your decision.

43:40 Adam Do a gang bang movie. What do you care? You're not my daughter.

43:42 Caller Fuck you. No, that's not what it was. I think that I was a good child simply because that my parents told me, I trust you.

43:51 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce If you lost your virginity at 18 and you've been with this guy for three years, how do you know you're bisexual? Where does that part come in?

43:58 Caller Oh, now see, okay, not virginity in the technical way. I like messed around a lot when I was younger.

44:04 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I heard that if you do it 10 times or less, it's just experimenting.

44:10 Adam The, with a woman, you mean?

44:12 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah.

44:12 Adam Yeah.

44:13 Caller I've experimented a few times with a woman, but I would say that actually like penis in vagina and doing the whole spiel, I lost my virginity around 18.

44:27 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I think more people should call it the whole spiel. That was my favorite part. The whole spiel.

44:33 Dr. Bruce So you're calling to ask us about what?

44:36 Caller Well, I'm calling because when I moved out, my parents gave me a large sum of money and I had a best friend who I had been really, really good, close friends with for a very long time.

44:51 Adam How much money did your parents give you?

44:54 Caller A hundred and twenty thousand dollars.

44:56 Adam Oh, am I going to kick my dad in the nuts when I see that bastard next? A hundred and twenty.

45:01 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce That's a lot of money. Are you happily married?

45:03 Adam Yeah, you should be.

45:04 Caller I am. I am extremely happily married.

45:06 Adam Why did your parents give you a hundred and twenty thousand dollars when you moved out?

45:11 Caller Well, if you want to look at things like I am, I'm a chair for my stepmother when I moved out.

45:17 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce How much of this money do you have left?

45:19 Adam A chair, not even a full futon. Wait, wait, wait.

45:22 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce What are you saying? What are you saying?

45:24 Caller It doesn't matter how much I have left, but it matters that I married a husband who is the heir of a very large, multi-million dollar construction company and the gym. I'm very well to do right now.

45:38 Dr. Bruce So what happened to the money? What's the reason for the cold? I still don't.

45:42 Caller Well, I had a friend who I had been very intimate with in high school who I thought was my best friend forever. You know, and then after I loaned her all this money, she then just like turned around and started telling all of our friends that I lied and I made this all up and that I just lied.

46:06 Adam How much money? How much money does she owe you?

46:08 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce No, no, no, is that relevant?

46:11 Adam How much?

46:12 Caller Around a thousand dollars.

46:14 Adam No, that's nothing for you.

46:15 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce You know what? Just why don't you look at it like you paid a thousand dollars for a piece of information about a friend that's not really your friend. For a thousand bucks, you got to eliminate somebody from your life that you didn't need to.

46:25 Adam That's true. Chalk it up and move on.

46:26 Dr. Bruce Or is this your...

46:27 Caller But she was like, I had been intimate with her and she was my best friend.

46:33 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce No, no, what I think you said is true. You learned. You learned. That's not the most expensive lesson. And not only that, but like the intimacy part, like, you know, like, well, you can't hold on to everybody that you've been intimate with.

46:45 Adam God knows. God knows. I've tried.

46:46 Dr. Bruce That's a cheap lesson if you learn something.

46:48 Adam Quiet down, Ashley. We got to take a break. Here's what I'm going to say. I got 10 seconds here. You got bigger problems than this. There's some kind of personality thing going on with you. I can hear it in your voice. That's all I do is read voices. That's all I do. All right. So there's issues. Look into and work on them or you're going to screw up that kid. Who cares about that thousand bucks? But you got bigger fish or fry than that. And we'll be back after this.

47:10 Caller Here it is.

47:11 Caller Bottom line, it sucks being single today. Tons of lame people and no decent prospects.

47:16 Caller Call the Dateline. Call the Dateline. 1-877-889-DATE.

47:24 Caller Love Line will be right back.

47:25 Caller So get your problems ready.

47:27 Caller Ready.

47:52 Adam Let Hey, everybody, it's the Loveline. I'm Andy, and that's Dr. Drew. All right, I screwed them both up. That's fair, right?

47:59 Dr. Bruce Yep, fair enough.

48:00 Adam All right, Bruce filling in for Dr. Drew. I give him a six, six and a half. He's doing an adequate job. He's got some hair gel in, he's feeling confident. He's getting comfortable behind the mic. God bless him. Atmosphere is in the studio tonight. Slug both here so far. DJ Mr. Dibbs will be out here as soon as he's done blowing a butt.

48:19 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Oh, this is Mr. Dibbs right here.

48:20 Adam Oh, did I screw that up?

48:21 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce That's OK. You're Andy. He's Dr. Drew.

48:23 Adam Oh, I see.

48:24 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah, I'm Eddie Vedder. Thanks. All right.

48:26 Adam Yeah, that's it. We're screwing everyone's name up. I like that. You know, less pressure. Just call anyone when they call. Start calling people what they look like. And by the way, you know, it's really tough to memorize a guy's name when he doesn't look like his name. Once in a while, you meet a guy who looks like a Chuck and he's like, hey, Chuck, and you'll never forget it because he looks like his name. But if that same guy's name is Seth, you're screwed because he doesn't look like his name. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

48:53 Dr. Bruce Are you surprised that you haven't been asked how you got your names tonight?

48:57 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce No, you guys know how rappers get their names.

49:00 Dr. Bruce Yeah, I don't.

49:01 Adam Well, here's the thing.

49:02 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce There's a big rap pool with names written on little pieces of paper and when you become a rapper, you reach into this pool and pull out a name and that's the one you're stuck with.

49:11 Adam The thing, here's what I've learned from doing this show for several years. Don't ask bands where they got their names and don't ask rappers where they got their names because it's always like.

49:21 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Why are you separating bands from rappers?

49:23 Adam Here we go again. No, what I mean is that I wouldn't ask you guys where you got the name Atmosphere either just because it's a story they've told a thousand times and even if you don't know it, they've told it a thousand times and they get pissed off. And don't ask them why they wrote a song or, no, don't ask them what a song means because they go, whatever it means to you.

49:44 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah, just nod your head and play along.

49:45 Adam Yeah, just, you'll never get a good one on that. It's never anything that's-

49:49 Dr. Bruce No, but you can ask questions that other people can't ask because of your exalted position in life.

49:54 Adam Yeah, thank you. Yeah, me being a C-list celebrity, I get to ask questions that other people don't get to ask. All right, we'll hear something from Atmosphere and we'll also take some calls. I gotta give a quick, and this is the last of this, God forsaken cabin fever promotion. You call in, you get the DVD, if you're over 18, and then you enter the drawing to get a ski vacation to Whistler, which is in Canada, airfare, everything. We put you up in the cabin, lift tickets, the whole thing. And it goes on sale today, by the way, this DVD. Also, another quick plug, Drew and I are gonna be at Stanford.

50:34 Dr. Bruce University of Stanford.

50:35 Adam University of Stanford, that's right. Or Stanford University. And which one was it now?

50:40 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I think it's Stanford University.

50:42 Adam That's right. We're gonna be there tomorrow, everybody. Probably somewhere around eight o'clock. Let's go to phones. Jennifer? You're 18? Hello? What's happening?

50:55 Caller My boyfriend wants me to deep throw, but it may come back. Is there something I can do?

51:03 Adam What if you double this penis over so it wasn't this long?

51:08 I don't think he'd ever go for that.

51:10 Adam Yeah, I tried that and then it popped right in the middle of the thing and it shot through her cheek. It was, it was not pretty.

51:17 Dr. Bruce Trauma.

51:17 Adam Yeah, the zip tie gave way.

51:20 Dr. Bruce Seen that in the ER many times.

51:21 Adam Yeah. How do you do that? How do you condition yourself?

51:25 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Can you just like, you know, take it slowly, learn how to relax? Like you don't have to learn it in one night or one month even, but couldn't you just, you know, or just say no?

51:36 Caller Oh, I don't mind doing it. It just makes me want to throw up because it hits the back of my throat.

51:40 Adam Yeah, some people-

51:41 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Do you brush the back of your tongue when you brush your teeth?

51:44 Caller I brush my tongue.

51:45 I don't know how far back I go.

51:46 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce You should work on that every morning.

51:48 Adam Yeah.

51:48 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Slowly, just take the toothbrush, go a little further back, a little further.

51:52 Yeah, reflex is not that hard to get rid of.

51:54 Adam Yeah, really, really. Oh, wow.

51:56 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Oh, wow. See, my DJ could deep throw at your boyfriend, obviously.

52:01 Adam Oh, yeah. You know, how do you make yourself vomit though when you do want to vomit?

52:08 You see, I don't look, Drew.

52:10 Adam You've screwed yourself. Bruce, you're screwed. Oh, the whole hand is going into the mouth.

52:16 Caller Wow.

52:17 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce How do you think he got this gig?

52:19 Adam I'm just, yeah.

52:21 Somebody has to put you as a rapper.

52:23 Adam Someone else got the gig the same way, you know. I like being able to make myself heave if the bed is spinning at four in the morning.

52:32 Dr. Bruce But the other thing is people don't think, the gag reflex was put there by God or nature to protect against certain things and maybe.

52:39 Caller This is a situation.

52:41 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Hey, Jennifer, your name is Jennifer, right?

52:42 Adam Doing porn, yeah.

52:43 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Listen, I'm gonna tell you a quick story and take from it what you will. I had a girlfriend a couple of years ago who wanted to try because I kept asking her to try, but she could never do it. So one night she's trying, she's trying, she's vegetarian, by the way, that has something to do with the story. She tried, she ended up throwing up not dogs all over me. Now, here's the answer to your problem. Next time he wants you to do it, do it, puke on him. He'll never ask again.

53:08 Caller That's a very good point, very good point.

53:10 Adam And by the way, I'm going to extend the puking thing beyond oral sex, like someone wants to borrow money, puke on him. Puke on him. Somebody has a critique or a criticism, puke on him. Someone wants to borrow your car, you puke on him. You start puking on people, they stop asking for favors, and they learn very quickly. This works with children, you know what I mean?

53:32 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Throw up on a child.

53:33 Adam He's nagging you, mommy, I want to get this sweet breakfast. You just, just peeve all over the junior's head. Daddy, I want to go to Knott's Berry Farm and then Legoland, come on daddy, please. I understand, we're supposed to hit it again there. Uh-huh. I want Pop-Tarts for dinner.

54:03 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Where did you get that sound bite from? I feel like I know that girl.

54:06 Adam I want a puppy. Is there, can we have a puppy? We need a new puppy. I want a Pokeman video game. Yeah. It would stop your kid. Like a kid would freak every time he asked himself. His hands would go up. He'd get all freaked out.

54:36 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce And then, you know, years later, he'd be calling your show.

54:39 Dr. Bruce And it would be asking him, what was the trauma?

54:41 Adam Heaving on the head.

54:43 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce How mom used to throw up on you?

54:45 Adam It's diabolical because A, no, nobody, child protective services could never really prove what you're, it's like, well, listen, I got a little acid reflux, obviously. It had nothing to do with him wanting the fruit roll up, Your Honor. I mean, I just, I got a little acid reflux. What are you going to do? There's no marks on the kid, you know? It would be perfect. It's diabolical. I'm going to use that. If I have a kid, I will discipline him with vomit. And then, and then, you know, when I send the kid to camp and stuff like that, I'll have to vomit into a bucket for like two weeks and then send the bucket over to the counselor and tell him, here's a ladle. If he acts up, he just will whack him with some of daddy's vomit.

55:25 Caller Sprinkle me, man.

55:26 Adam I dropped a number two in there, too, in case he really gets out of hand. Yeah. Bruce, good parenting?

55:31 Dr. Bruce Yeah, yes. All right. But you know, there's some crazy person out there that may take you up on this. Let's help him. And then you'll be on Entertainment Tonight. I didn't mean that anyone should do that.

55:40 Adam No.

55:40 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Baby, I love you. You smell like my mom.

55:45 Adam I agree, though, that brushing the back of your tongue is probably a good way to loosen up that gag reflex.

55:53 Dr. Bruce Okay.

55:53 Adam It's a good way to start. Good way to start. Cena? Hello?

56:00 Hey, I actually have a question for Atmosphere.

56:03 Adam Here they are.

56:04 Hey, I was wondering what type of music you guys listen to and like growing up and how it influenced what you do now.

56:12 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I mean, me personally, I'm slugged by the way, the rapper from the group. I grew up pretty much on strictly hip hop. I didn't really discover rock music until I started making out with white chicks. I guess, you know, now I listen to pretty much everything and anything because being, you know, wanting to be a musician, I was quick to get record store jobs, which, you know, enabled me to learn more about different types of music. And now, you know, I pretty much listen to everything that you listen to, that they listen to, that whatever. It's kind of, you know. Johnny Cash, homie, lots of Johnny Cash.

56:46 And also, are you guys going to be opening a Fifth Element somewhere around here?

56:50 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Um, shh, where did you hear that? Don't tell anybody nothing about that, man. Shut up, go away.

56:56 Adam Why, what happened?

56:58 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Nothing, nothing, nothing.

56:59 Adam All right.

56:59 Is it going to happen? Cause just, I'm asking just out of the blue.

57:04 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Um, out of the, out of the blue. Thanks for saying blue. Um, you know, shh.

57:09 All right, I'll be waiting for it.

57:13 Adam It's time.

57:13 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce No.

57:14 Adam Hey, Cena.

57:15 Yeah.

57:16 Adam Actually, we're going to San Francisco tomorrow, so we're going to see you there.

57:19 Yeah, hey, I'm going to the Atmosphere Show at the Fillmore, too.

57:22 Adam Oh, really?

57:22 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Thanks for the support, homie. You're my man, you know what I'm saying?

57:26 Hey, I was actually wondering if I could get some help on this project that I'm doing, though. Cause I'll be at the show and stuff like that.

57:31 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce rhymesayers.com, hit me up there. Info at rhymesayers.com, you can ask me whatever you want there.

57:36 Caller Slug will do it all for you at the show.

57:38 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce And don't come to the show unless you bring a girl with you.

57:40 Trust me, that'll be plenty. Word. They're all there for you, Slug. God love ugly, so do women.

57:46 Adam You bring an unwrapped girl, you put it in a hopper when you enter the arena and then we give it to guys who don't have girls. Especially when you're on holidays and stuff, yeah. So it's a whole, I mean some guys wouldn't bring canned food for the homeless. At atmosphere you bring chicks for guys who don't get laid. It'd be a nice project.

58:02 Dr. Bruce Are they for you or for them?

58:03 Adam Put a couple of barrels out front.

58:05 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce No, I don't need anything. I'm good. It's, you know, it's just I'm an advocate of people meeting each other and becoming families.

58:14 Adam Yeah.

58:14 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce And what better place to meet each other than at one of my shows.

58:17 Adam Have you, you guys played the Fillmore before?

58:20 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah, in San Francisco.

58:21 Adam I've never been there.

58:22 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce It's a lovely venue, man. It's really great. Sound is good.

58:25 Adam Is it all restored or something?

58:27 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah, they did restore it and it's very nice. I like that. You're famous. You should just be able to knock on the door and they'll let you sleep there.

58:34 Adam Hey, this is Adam Carolla. I'd like to crash out on stage.

58:39 Caller Yeah. Thank you.

58:41 Adam Step aside, my man. I got to work on my gag reflex.

58:48 Caller All right.

58:49 Adam Let's talk to Travis, who's 18. Oh, it's just to swallow quite a lot of, a lot of, a lot of BJ questions. And I, Travis? You're 18? All right. You're gay?

59:03 Caller No. For when I go down on my girlfriend, when she comes, I swallow the fluid because she's holding my head down. I was wondering if that's going to harm me inside.

59:14 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Absolutely not.

59:15 Adam That's a lot of woman.

59:16 Caller I do the same thing, Travis. You're good to go. Drink up, homie.

59:21 Adam I like that part where she holds your head down, though.

59:24 Caller Yeah.

59:24 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Do you like that, Travis? Do you like having your head held there?

59:27 Caller Yeah, especially about my ears.

59:28 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce You don't have a problem. You shouldn't be calling.

59:30 Dr. Bruce No gag reflex problems.

59:32 Caller I was just making sure that it wouldn't hurt me inside or anything. I wouldn't like get like throwing up all the time or something.

59:39 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Do you have trouble walking or anything like that? You know, is everything OK? Your eyesight's good?

59:50 Adam What comes out of there, Bruce? I've never seen a woman orgasm. What goes on there?

59:55 Dr. Bruce What happens? Their glands produce a clear fluid.

59:59 Adam Yeah, yeah, it's like when that guy's a gleeck on you. Remember that gleeck? Go all over the back of your neck, jack off at junior high. You feel the spray on the back of your neck, some jackass back there.

1:00:13 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Do you remember when you actually learned that that was called gleecking? When you're like, gleeck.

1:00:17 Adam I'm like, couldn't you just beat off on me, dude? That'd be less humiliating than you spraying me with your glandular fluid on the back of my neck. And there's, by the way, there's nothing worse than when somebody does something and it becomes popular and you can't do it. The only time I've ever gleecked is on a date when I'm trying to explain something and it just comes out inadvertently and then it's humiliating. You know, you'll gleeck, you'll gleeck like once every four years, just talking or eating. You're going, oh boy, yeah, I like you too, you're gleecking.

1:00:51 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Do you remember the cartoon, the Super Friends, the Wonder Twins, their monkey was named Gleek. So I have a problem. I have a problem with the fact that that's called gleeking.

1:00:59 Adam Is who invented gleeking? And here's my question. Do kids today gleeck on each other?

1:01:07 Caller All the time.

1:01:07 Adam They do. So like if I went back to my old junior high, if I went back to Walter Reed Junior High in North Hollywood and said, who here gleeks on the backs of necks of people who they sit behind? A bunch of hands would go up and go, yeah, yeah, no, we're a gleeker.

1:01:23 Caller I think it's a bad thing.

1:01:25 Adam Really?

1:01:25 Caller Well, you know, I get gleeked on because I'm the DJ. I'm the low rung. So there's a lot of gleeking going on at rehearsals.

1:01:33 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Where are you going with this?

1:01:34 Caller Do you gleeck on me?

1:01:35 Caller You what?

1:01:36 Adam You gleeck upon?

1:01:37 Caller Every night.

1:01:39 Adam What do you do?

1:01:39 Caller Can you?

1:01:40 Adam Yeah. I can't glee.

1:01:41 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I can't glee. If I could, I'd gleeck on you right now.

1:01:43 Caller I'm from Ohio, Adam. So why are you gleecked on? Because I'm from Ohio.

1:01:47 Adam Well, I'm just wondering if, and call in if you've gleecked on anyone or been gleecked upon.

1:01:52 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Call in if you know how to spell gleeck.

1:01:54 Dr. Bruce Now, what about gleeking between the space between the teeth to get more distance? What's that called? Is that gleeking? No, that's not spitting. There's another name for that.

1:02:00 Adam Yeah, that's it.

1:02:01 Dr. Bruce No, no, no.

1:02:02 Adam It's a weird. But that's essentially spitting. What's it called? What?

1:02:10 Dr. Bruce It's a medical syndrome.

1:02:11 Adam Let's move forward. I just wish I could gleek.

1:02:14 Caller It's called bad breath.

1:02:16 Adam That's all. I wish I could gleek and I wish I could do my tongue up so it would look like a taco, you know? Yeah. There you go.

1:02:22 Dr. Bruce Well, drop for drop, the stuff in your mouth, your mouth has the worst bacteria.

1:02:25 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Brush the back of your tongue.

1:02:26 Dr. Bruce Bad business.

1:02:27 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah.

1:02:27 Adam It's going to help me gleek.

1:02:28 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce That'll help you do the taco thing.

1:02:30 Adam All right. Oh, really?

1:02:31 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I don't know.

1:02:32 Adam Couldn't hurt. Corey?

1:02:34 Yes.

1:02:35 Adam You're 23? You're a lesbian?

1:02:39 Caller Very much so. Yes.

1:02:42 Adam You ever get gleeked on in junior high?

1:02:44 Caller No, but I tend to gleek sometimes when I speak.

1:02:48 Adam Really?

1:02:49 Caller Yeah. I kind of hate it because I spit all over myself.

1:02:54 Adam It's always weird when somebody spits on you and they kind of know they spit on you, but you have to pretend like you didn't notice they spit on you. So you give it that five count and then you wipe your hand and then they say something because they knew it. Now, you look like an a-hole for pretending like they didn't in the first place. Oh, yeah.

1:03:10 Caller Yeah.

1:03:11 Adam All right. So what's up there, Corey?

1:03:13 Caller Well, basically, the reason why I call is because I just, it just really bothers me that it takes me so long to get off. Especially when I'm, see, I'm not an intimate, well, see, I have issues with intimacy personally. That's what I'm trying, I don't know, OK, I have borderline personality disorder. That's my issue. And I've been working on it, you know, getting better, you know, for about three years now. I mean, I was diagnosed three years ago and...

1:03:46 Adam You're taking any medications?

1:03:48 Caller No, I actually, I'm weeding myself off of them. I'm trying to figure out life without being controlled by drugs.

1:03:59 Adam Well, sometimes, drugs are a good thing.

1:04:01 Caller Yeah, sometimes, yeah, but also, I don't know, I feel very, how do I say, controlled, you know? I feel like a zombie, like a zombie.

1:04:13 Adam What's going on with the lesbian stuff? You get molested or you're just a true lesbian?

1:04:18 Caller I think I was born this way, I mean, I've always had feelings for a very long time.

1:04:24 Adam Do you get molested anyway?

1:04:27 Dr. Bruce Well, you know, borderline personality disorder, that's very common.

1:04:29 Adam Yeah, somebody must have screwed with you.

1:04:32 Caller I don't, well, see, if they did, I have no memory of it. I have no actual memory of being.

1:04:37 Adam Yeah, but do you, have you blocked out a bunch of your childhood? Were you abused?

1:04:41 Caller I don't think so. No, no, I basically had a good growing up stage as far as like childhood, growing up. I mean, I don't remember having a father, but I know my mom was pretty good.

1:04:52 Dr. Bruce Okay, so your borderline, you know, typically have a poor sense of self and boundaries are a real problem and you get into relationships and it's real intense and you go loving to hating the person without much rational basis for it. Is that the kind of, you have these real sort of swings in the relationships and?

1:05:11 Caller Well, I don't know. I have never really been in like a real relationship because how I got sick was because I was hearing voices in my head and this chick was telling me, well actually she's an autistic chick. She's my best friend for a very long time, for about two years now.

1:05:28 Adam The voice in your head or something? By the way, how come the voices, how come voice in your head never tell you to exercise and listen to classical music? It's always kill or cut yourself.

1:05:39 Dr. Bruce Commanding thoughts.

1:05:40 Adam Yeah. You can't have a voice in your head tell you something decent every once in a while? Hey, how about a little fat diet and a few pushups?

1:05:48 Dr. Bruce So they're screened out, they're selectively screened out.

1:05:51 Adam Yeah, there's no voice in anyone's head ever tells you that. Let's start practicing Tai Chi and learn to play the flute.

1:05:58 Caller Well, I play guitar a little bit. I mean, music does help you relax a little bit.

1:06:01 Adam Hey, Corey, hold on a second. Listen, we can all hear in your voice that you have some deep issues. And you attempting to master yourself by either take...

1:06:15 Dr. Bruce Hello?

1:06:18 Adam The whole medication thing, maybe you didn't want to feel like a zombie, although we got zombie on one hand and crazy person on the other hand. I might go zombie.

1:06:31 Caller Well, it sounds reasonable, but at the same time, I've been doing good for about two years without it.

1:06:35 Dr. Bruce That's what your doctor's... Your doctor's working with you on tapering you off? It sounds like you're probably on a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant, I would suspect.

1:06:45 Caller That's what I was supposed to be taking.

1:06:49 Adam Are you able to work?

1:06:51 Caller No, I'm on disability right now.

1:06:53 Dr. Bruce Just as long as you're working with your doctor, I don't think the primary problem is...

1:06:56 Adam Are you working with your doctor? You're seeing your doctor?

1:06:58 Caller Well, I see a therapist. Actually, I have an appointment next week, but I'm seeing my therapist, and I don't know, it's really hard for me to get into a conversation with her like this.

1:07:13 Adam All right, listen, Corey, listen to me, because we got to go. Here's what you need to do. Throw yourself on the mercy of the doctors, the therapist, whatever they want you to do, just do it. Please trust me on this. You'll be in much better shape. Go to your therapist, open up, tell them everything you're feeling. Your doctor has a suggestion, listen to the person, and do it. They're smart, they're old, they know what they're talking about, they're not the man, they're not trying to turn into a zombie. The whole reason you're in front of them is because you need their help. Let them help you. Don't treat it. It's no different than if you take your car into a mechanic and the guy has a couple of suggestions and wants to change this and rebuild that.

1:07:56 Dr. Bruce Borderline's tend to over-idealize. It's the patient.

1:07:58 Adam Let them do it. Let them do their job.

1:08:00 Dr. Bruce They walk in, they hold your hand. You're out of 150 doctors. The first one, I know you're wonderful.

1:08:05 Adam And then a week later, they hate you.

1:08:06 Dr. Bruce Oh, yes, and then, so it's difficult for Borderlines to stick with a therapist.

1:08:10 Adam That's why I'm telling them to shut up and stop listening to a voice in their head and start listening to a voice in the radio. That's the Ace man.

1:08:16 Dr. Bruce Yeah.

1:08:17 Adam Just everyone. Look, here's the thing, everybody. The whole reason you're in the position you're in is because you've been listening to yourself a little too much and not listening to your guidance counselor, your parents, your doctor, the nurse, physician, psychologist, whatever it is. Start listening to other people.

1:08:35 Dr. Bruce Take direction.

1:08:35 Adam Yes. If you're doing great, if you got a great job and you're on top of the world and you're in a stable relationship and everyone loves you, fine. Listen to yourself. It's like, look, if here's the guy, the scout, the guy who's leading the wagon train. If this guy is leading you to safety and not getting any Indian fights, plenty of water and fresh buffalo along the way and you're making good time through the desert, that's the man you should be following. But if you're just going in a circle and having to live off the dead pioneers who died behind you, maybe it's time you stop leading and let somebody else do it. That's all I need to know. All right. Fantastic. Atmosphere is in the hizzy, as we like to say here. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.

1:09:29 Dr. Bruce 1-800-LOVE-191 Hey everybody, it's Love Line.

1:09:34 Adam That's Dr. I mean I'm Andy. That's Dr. Bruce. Let's call spade a spade. That's Bruce over there. Slug and DJ Mr. Dibbs are here tonight. Ant got too drunk and had to had to crash out. He couldn't maintain.

1:09:54 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Look at him right now, though. He's breaking down like he's having he's being metaphysical.

1:09:58 Adam Right now, it's a serious life conversation in the next room. That's cool. All right. Now, where are we? Atmosphere here tonight, we'll hear something off of Sevens Travels. And just a second, I think we'll take one call.

1:10:12 Dr. Bruce It's a band call.

1:10:12 Adam We got a band call. Take a band call. Katrina, hi. You have a question for the band?

1:10:19 Caller I feel like I just want to congratulate you on Sevens Travels.

1:10:22 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Thank you, Katrina.

1:10:23 Caller And I want to know, how do you feel with all this, like, exposure?

1:10:27 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Like, I'm a little neurotic. I mean, hey, mom, I'm on love lines right now. You know what I mean? Like, quite honestly, like, not really sure what's going on or why it's going on or how it's going on. But I'm not really complaining either. I'm going to ride this roller coaster till the wheels fall off. Where do you live, Katrina? Where do you live? Really? Thanks. Thanks for coming to the show and have a very, very good week. Thank you, Katrina.

1:10:58 Adam Where are you guys playing tomorrow?

1:11:00 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce The Henry Fonda Theater.

1:11:16 Dr. Bruce It's the one right off the side of the 101.

1:11:19 Adam Yeah.

1:11:19 Caller Good old theater there.

1:11:21 Adam All right. And again, Atmosphere is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday night. So you can those of you who can't make it out to Henry Fonda Theater tomorrow can see him on Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday night. Let's hear something from the CD. Yes. Yes. Anderson, feeling good.

1:11:39 Caller It's still Chris. It is.

1:11:41 Adam Oh, Chris does it. How long has it been Chris that's done it?

1:11:45 Caller About six months.

1:11:46 Adam Six months. And which one's Chris? He's a kid to my right.

1:11:50 Caller He's the one that says love lines.

1:11:52 Adam Oh, Chris. Oh, Chris, the one that calls the show Love Line.

1:11:55 Caller Is that a love line?

1:11:56 Adam Right. That's OK. I don't correct people. I'm cool that way. All right. So, Chris, you're doing it. Yes. Looking good, buddy. Who is the other guy I was just talking to? That's Mike. Anderson? Mike. Well, Mike. Fred. All right. Let's hear something off Atmosphere. Yes. Or from Atmosphere, I should say. All right. Now we're ready to go. This is called National Disgrace.

Band's gonna beat the Henry Fonda Theater tomorrow night, and then Jimmy come alive on Friday night. All right, let's get back to the phones. Let's play a little Florida or Germany. Here's how the game goes. They call in, they tell us the most bizarre question. It's usually tell us some truth, crime sort of thing, and then we guess. Did it come from Florida? Florida or Germany? Yeah, that's David Allen group. Go ahead, Eric.

1:18:08 Caller Hey, what's happening, guys?

1:18:10 Adam You're 24, Germany or Florida?

1:18:11 Caller Yeah, real quick first, I wanted to say to the band, Atmosphere. I haven't heard you guys out here, but that last tune was pretty groovy.

1:18:17 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Thanks a lot, man. Groovy's what I'm shooting for, homie.

1:18:20 Caller You guys get some radio play out here sometime. Maybe I liked in that first tune how you rhymed y'all with volleyball.

1:18:25 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce You like that?

1:18:26 Caller All right, man, well here's this Germany or Florida, ready? Yeah. All righty, 24 people in a small town were diagnosed with mono. Authorities traced the source to a kissing booth at a church carnival. The carnival was being held to raise awareness for sexually transmitted diseases. Germany or Florida?

1:18:44 Caller Florida, Florida.

1:18:45 Adam Sounds like Florida to me.

1:18:46 Caller I love Florida.

1:18:47 Dr. Bruce Germany.

1:18:48 Caller Oh, Bruce.

1:18:49 Dr. Bruce Contrarian.

1:18:50 Adam Bucking the system.

1:18:51 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Kissing booth?

1:18:52 Adam We got three Floridas and one Germany.

1:18:55 Caller Bruce has guided it is couple Germany.

1:19:00 It's not really true crime though.

1:19:02 Adam Yeah, yeah, it's still a wacky, wacky story.

1:19:05 Dr. Bruce Why don't you make fun of yourself now since you've been saying that?

1:19:08 Adam Yeah, yeah, I'm still shooting, I'm still batting about 850 on these Germany and Florida. All right, Eric, thanks for calling. Sending out a windbreaker.

1:19:15 Dr. Bruce Cool.

1:19:17 Adam I wonder if anyone actually thinks we're sending them anything.

1:19:21 Dr. Bruce No.

1:19:21 Adam And I wonder if it's illegal to say.

1:19:23 Dr. Bruce He's getting a cabin fever.

1:19:24 Adam Over there, we're gonna send you stuff. Oh yeah, you do qualify for that cabin fever thing.

1:19:28 Caller Yeah.

1:19:29 Adam Oh, all right, let's see. Bruce, have you given up on picking calls?

1:19:34 Dr. Bruce Three times I've pointed to this one. I had this here and you took it from here.

1:19:39 Adam Listen, I'm a big enough man to admit when you're wrong. All right, let's talk to Josh who's 18. Josh?

1:19:47 Caller Yeah, I'm right here. Adam, I wanna say that you're fricking God, dude.

1:19:53 Adam Thank you, thank you my son. What's your question?

1:19:56 Caller All right, my friends were telling me that, well, my girlfriend's 15 and we were having sex before I turned 18 and my friends were telling me that if we were having sex before I turned 18, then it wasn't illegal after I turned 18. I was wondering if that's still true.

1:20:10 Adam What, your balls got grandfathered in?

1:20:11 Caller Is that how that works?

1:20:17 Adam Like, hey, my balls, I laid claim to that vagina when I was 17, like so that whatever, like I don't have to put fire sprinklers in my apartment because it was built before 1978, like that kind of thing where they just grandfather things in. No, that doesn't work.

1:20:32 Dr. Bruce Who told you this?

1:20:34 Adam Uh-huh.

1:20:35 Dr. Bruce Who told you this?

1:20:36 Caller Some friends of hers and some friends of mine.

1:20:38 Caller How old are you?

1:20:40 Caller Pardon?

1:20:41 Caller How old are you?

1:20:41 Adam He's 18.

1:20:43 Caller How old are you when you had sex with your girlfriend?

1:20:45 Caller 17.

1:20:46 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Statutory rate.

1:20:47 Adam But then, yeah, then turned 18.

1:20:49 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Now, see, I think in a lot of states, and I can't say this for all of them, but if both of them are minors, there is a clause that's an 18-month difference. So if you are a year and a half older than your partner, there is room for it to be illegal, but, I mean...

1:21:05 Adam Here's one of the problems. Every state has its own statute, and some are incredibly young, and others are 18, and I've said this many, many times. Could we just go ahead and make it 18? And is anyone going to argue about that? If you go... I think...

1:21:25 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I think the question is, what if they're both under 18? And one of them's 15, and one of them's 17.

1:21:29 Caller Statutory rape.

1:21:32 Adam But he's 18 now.

1:21:34 Caller Where do you live at?

1:21:35 Adam That's the problem. He's calling from Ayucca Valley, which is...

1:21:38 Caller So it's not Cincinnati or Montreal?

1:21:40 Adam Right.

1:21:41 Caller Then it's statutory rape.

1:21:42 Adam Hawaii's a good place, too. Here's all I'm saying, age-wise. How are you supposed to tell a guy who grew up on Hawaii, who lived on a diet of poi and young punta? All this guy does is bang underage chicks, and then he moves to Arizona and all of a sudden, the thing's all screwed up. All the wiring's different now. All I'm saying is, we do this with booze. It's like, look, 21, buy alcohol, 18, join the military, 18, you can buy cigarettes. Let's just call it 18. Just pick a number and decide on it. OK, maybe 14.

1:22:21 Caller So you're saying if there's grass on the field, you're playing ball, Adam.

1:22:25 Adam I'm saying nine. I'm just saying, whatever, let's just pick a number and just call it that.

1:22:32 Caller You're just practicing, right?

1:22:33 Adam It doesn't matter how old you are, where you traveled, that's the age. Consistency, yeah, it's easy to break the law. Here's what I'm saying. If the speed limit is dramatically different in every city and every state, it's gonna be easy to break the law when you're driving through because you don't know. You see what I'm saying? Right. Pick a number, 55 pounds.

1:22:52 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Or just put signs on the highway saying how old you have to be to have sex.

1:22:55 Adam Yeah, now entering Kentucky.

1:22:58 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce 14.

1:22:59 Adam Hey, hey, hey. Nothing over 12, please.

1:23:02 Caller Kentucky is a different story right below Ohio.

1:23:05 Adam I'm just saying whatever it is when you drive in.

1:23:08 Caller 13.

1:23:09 Adam That's what it should say on the sign.

1:23:11 Caller It does.

1:23:12 Dr. Bruce The legal system will do nothing to simplify the law.

1:23:15 Adam All right.

1:23:16 Dr. Bruce It's in West business.

1:23:17 Adam Atmosphere is here now. Take a quick break. So no more banging your girlfriend. She's 15, you're 18, right?

1:23:23 Caller Right.

1:23:23 Adam But you go for oral and finger blasting. Yes. I don't, I don't see it. Look, go with someone your own age. What do you, you got some chick who's like in the ninth grade, you're a senior in high school. Come on, give me a break. We'll be back after this.

1:23:39 Caller Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.

1:23:53 Adam Atmosphere is here, name of the CD, Seventh Travels. I just witnessed a dude you're effed up conversation, which is always funny because whenever a guy gives you the, dude, you're, he's always more messed up than you are. Even though you may be messed up, the guy who delivers the dude you're effed up is more effed up than you are almost every time.

1:24:15 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce That must be me. I'm the one that's messed up.

1:24:18 Adam I just always think it's a funny one. Then it gets volleyed back. I'm effed up.

1:24:23 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Look at you, dude.

1:24:25 Adam And then the, I just, paradoxically or ironically, whoever delivers the dude you're effed up is always twice as effed up as the guy he's accused of being effed up. No, no.

1:24:39 Dr. Bruce Well, yes, not here, but in the bar.

1:24:41 Adam Lindsay? What's going on? I was like, I like the dude maintain one too, where the guy pulls you aside and talks to you really like, dude, you totally screwed it with these chicks. And everyone's in the bark and they hear you. And he's telling you to behave and mind your P's and Q's except for he's slobbering, he's gleaking. And everyone in the bark can hear him yelling. Classy. That one too, yeah. Lindsay? What's happening?

1:25:07 What is going on?

1:25:08 Adam You got a question for the band?

1:25:11 Yes, I do. What's going on?

1:25:13 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce What's up, Lindsay?

1:25:15 Oh my God, I'm such a fan. Thank you. I'm so excited. I'm so excited to see you on Jimmy Kill. I'm going to be watching TV and I'm going, I live in Portland and I'm going to go through that concert. Hell yeah, I'm so excited.

1:25:31 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce How do you feel about the suicide girls leaving Portland for Los Angeles?

1:25:34 What's that?

1:25:35 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Nothing.

1:25:36 Actually, my friend was going to do that.

1:25:38 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Really?

1:25:39 Yeah.

1:25:40 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce They moved, they're down here now in LA.

1:25:42 Are you serious?

1:25:43 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah.

1:25:44 I had no idea. No, she talked about that like a year and a half ago or something. I don't think she ever went through, we don't talk anymore. Anyway. Anyway. Yeah, my question was, actually it's kind of stupid, but what kind of girls are you into?

1:25:59 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce You know, Poles.

1:26:01 What's that?

1:26:03 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce That's a good question I guess. I mean, I don't know. I'm into girls with fire.

1:26:10 Girls with fire?

1:26:11 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah, they play with fire.

1:26:13 Caller Are you serious?

1:26:15 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Yeah.

1:26:15 Adam And sword swallers.

1:26:17 Are you kidding now?

1:26:19 Adam I don't know. Lindsey, do you play with fire?

1:26:21 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Are you trying to get me beat up when I go back to Minneapolis?

1:26:23 Adam She's got a girlfriend back in Minneapolis, right? What the? Listen, here's what you can do. You're never gonna have him. You can watch him on Jimmy Come Alive and Masturbate. Yeah, all right.

1:26:41 Caller It was just a question. It's not like.

1:26:43 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I mean, it's a weird question. I don't know what kind of girls I'm into.

1:26:47 Adam That was just a suggestion.

1:26:48 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce I'm into girls that don't listen to music at all.

1:26:52 Adam Yeah.

1:26:54 Caller Well, I guess that was a stupid question, but then I had another. What was that?

1:26:58 Adam That was what God does when you make fun of music and you're in a band. That was brutal.

1:27:08 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Hey, Lindsey, we'll be in Portland. I'll make out with you. Just pull me aside.

1:27:12 Adam There's got to be 30 chicks and four dudes calling themselves Lindsey.

1:27:16 Caller With that to look forward to.

1:27:21 Adam Cindy? You're 17?

1:27:24 Caller Yeah.

1:27:25 Adam What's happening?

1:27:26 Caller I was gonna ask you something, or Dr. Bruce or any of you guys actually. Me and my boyfriend, we've been going out for a year and for nine months we had sex non-stop.

1:27:35 Caller But recently I have just not had the drive.

1:27:37 Caller And I wanna know what's going on. And I've been really, really moody and bitchy.

1:27:42 Adam Well, woman's prerogative. You ever been abused? Do you have any trauma, anything like that?

1:27:48 Caller I never got abused.

1:27:50 Caller Which kind of abuse though?

1:27:52 Adam Well, here's the thing with people who were abused. They take these crazy swings. They get really hypersexual and then they just dry up. That's when I move in. I usually catch them right after their, you know, super hypersexual days.

1:28:05 Caller Well, cause like when I was little, I was raped, but like, you know, that was hell longer.

1:28:10 Adam Yeah. Well, that couldn't have any possible effect on you now. You're 17. I mean, hell, you were six at the time, right? Okay, well, then that couldn't be it. You being brutally raped at six. What must it be? Barometric pressure. Where are you calling from? Has it been overcast?

1:28:30 Caller No, it hasn't actually cleared out.

1:28:31 Dr. Bruce All right, Cindy, did you get any therapy after that? It's not the way.

1:28:35 Caller Did you have any? I tried going to therapy, but the counselor wouldn't get over the whole rape thing, and I'm like, I kind of dealt with it by myself.

1:28:43 Dr. Bruce No, you haven't dealt with it.

1:28:44 Adam You do it, you move on. You deal with it about six and a half, and you move on.

1:28:49 Dr. Bruce Okay, your inability to follow the guidance of the therapist is indicative of the problem you're in now. So, you really need to go back to therapy that you're underage when you're six.

1:29:01 Adam And by the way, and when I say stuff like, I spend an entire show saying stuff like, look, you're going to go back to your loser boyfriend and works at the batting cage. And you go, yeah, he does work at the batting cage. Does that ever surprise anybody when I call the age out or call the profession out or anything like that? I name people all the time and people just go right along with it. Yeah, I was right when I say and they just roll around like, you know, I did call. I'm not. You're a galler over here, but there's never any mention. No one ever goes like, hey, wow, I was right when I was six. What made you say six? They just kind of they never go like, what made you say batting cage with my boyfriend?

1:29:36 Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce Hey, Adam, you are you are really, really good at what you do. If nobody's telling I will be the I don't need to say I'm not trying to pat your back. I'm trying to say like straight up, like I consider myself an emotional consultant of sorts just for my friends. And and like sitting here watching you like do what you're doing and weaving it out. I think a lot of your sarcasm and when I goes over some people's heads and like I'm kind of smart and I try to get it. But like you're you're really good at what you do.

1:30:04 Adam And I listen and I appreciate that. And a compliment is always nice, but it's not so much the compliment part. It's more the part of, hey, that's weird. Like, how did you know that was my dad's name or he drove a forklift or I was raped when I was six? They don't do that part. I mean, I like the praise part, but it's not that that I'm looking for. It's more the part where they stop and go, what made you say the age? You know what I'm saying? And people don't do that when they call it a clarity, because it's a weird thing. It's like I have this theory, like when when kids tell you, tell you I went to school and they start naming their classmates as if you know them. That's something the kids do. You know what I'm saying?

1:30:43 Dr. Bruce The more profound the trauma, I mean, this is an extremely critical age thing.

1:30:48 Adam Yes.

1:30:48 Dr. Bruce And I've gotten over it. I've dealt with it.

1:30:50 Adam Cindy, who who who did this to you? This rape, by the way?

1:30:55 Caller My friend's son, like a long time ago.

1:30:59 Adam A long time ago. I know you keep emphasizing the long time ago and you're in your past that thing, but that we feel like you're in some denial as far as I can push it out of my mind when I was little, like I try to like repress it like I guess I took psychology and then that's the time they used to press bad memories.

1:31:18 Caller Yeah, like I never thought about it.

1:31:20 Caller And I told my cousin the first time when I was like 12 or something and I it always seemed like it wasn't real, you know, so I try to forget about it.

1:31:27 Adam How old was the person that did this to you?

1:31:30 Caller He was probably way older than me, like he was like probably 18, 17.

1:31:34 Adam Oh, yeah, that's that's horribly traumatic.

1:31:38 Caller And then my parents had like, like, you know, like, my mom was a battered woman, like when dad beat my mom and I had to watch all that.

1:31:46 Adam Okay, but here's the thing. And I know everyone who calls the show never gets an answer to the question they're calling about because that's not the real question.

1:31:53 Caller Yeah.

1:31:53 Adam We'll decide what those are. For you, it's about the abusive environment you grew up with, the rape that you suffered when you're six, the whole part where you're not feeling as amorous as you were eight months ago. That's all connected to this. And that's just what I said at the top of the thing. Yeah, because you'll go you'll go hypersexual and then you'll go dormant. You'll shut down. So you're starting to shut down. So you got to get some therapy.

1:32:15 Dr. Bruce Right.

1:32:15 Adam There's groups. There's there's all sorts of stuff you can do with this. And by the way, your dad's probably an alcoholic.

1:32:23 Caller My dad, I haven't talked to him for like years.

1:32:24 Caller That's my bourbon.

1:32:26 Adam But he probably was an is an alcoholic.

1:32:29 Caller No, he never drank.

1:32:30 Caller He like smoked cigarettes.

1:32:31 Adam He's been beat on your mom and he was sober.

1:32:34 Caller Yeah, because like he when he was little, his parents, his dad used to be his mom. I think it like he watched it in.

1:32:40 Adam Right. Yeah, it's like some people.

1:32:43 Dr. Bruce You know, you can know all the psychology in the world, but it doesn't give you any help in dealing with the consequences of that kind of abuse.

1:32:51 Adam Listen, therapy, therapy, therapy. Don't worry about the sexual part.

1:32:54 Dr. Bruce Don't look for insight on your own.

1:32:56 Adam That's right. We'll take a quick break.

1:32:58 Caller We'll be right back.

1:33:00 Caller Alright guys, here's the deal.

1:33:02 Caller You're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?

1:33:05 Caller One call is all you need to make.

1:33:07 Caller Call the Dateline.

1:33:08 Caller 877-889-DATE.

1:33:10 Caller Call the Dateline.
