Loveline is meant for an adult audience. Loveline may contain sexually oriented content. Listener discretion is advised. This is Loveline, Loveline, Loveline, Loveline, Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:21
Adam
Hey, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1, Dr. Drew, board certified physician and an addiction medicine specialist tonight in San Antonio.
1:34
Drew
Yes, indeed.
1:35
Adam
Well, it's like you're like Matt Lauer. Where's Dr. Drew? We do that competition where callers call in and decide where you're going to be on any given night.
1:46
Drew
It's good.
1:47
Adam
Remember that with Matt Lauer? He did that a couple years back. He would like except for he'd go to Egypt and stuff. He'd be like and then you'd have to guess where he was.
1:56
Yes.
1:57
Adam
Do you, Drew? Do you remember that?
1:58
Drew
Yeah, I remember that.
1:59
Adam
You do? Yeah. Okay. Because here's the thing, Drew. You're like an alien who's never been to this planet before. But you're trying to infiltrate the people. So I never know if you're saying, oh, yes, yes, and then reporting back to your headquarters, like asking who this Matt Lauer is, or if you actually know. You know what I mean? Usually, you say no if you don't know. But I think sometimes it gets so troubling for you to keep hearing me say, really, you don't remember this or you never heard of that? I'm just starting to think you just go, yeah.
2:32
Drew
It's not that it bothers me, it's that it's so disruptive to the show that I figure, yeah, yes, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir.
2:38
Adam
Right, yeah. Here's how you know, you know what I, you know the great thing about Drew, though, is Drew can't lie. Would you say that's true?
2:46
Drew
I would say that's true.
2:48
Adam
Yeah, it's a good quality. Except for if you just say horrible things and you don't care, then it's not, I don't know, I think it takes away from it. But I learned that last week with Dr. Drew and our $15,000 guest. That was awesome, Drew. Awesome.
3:03
Drew
That was good, huh?
3:04
Adam
It was awesome.
3:05
Drew
Actually, now I feel actually sort of empowered by taking that position because I went to this, I just quadrupled down on my giving to the Hillside Home. And I noticed that there were other people there doing the same thing who refused to give a Tsunami, who refused to cave into this pussy stuff about using the Tsunami as an opportunity for PR for people to give charity as opposed to people who genuinely give charity every year. So I feel actually really good about it.
3:34
Adam
Good. I like that my favorite part is when the guy plunked down 15 grand, oh, are you lucky? And you're saying you just don't know where that money goes. That was excellent.
3:47
Drew
That's right. Anyway, listen, I'm doing a vaginal rejuvenation surgery in the morning and spent the day talking to women who have female orgasmic incontinence. Finally, that topic has been flushed out for me, so to speak.
4:01
Adam
Yeah.
4:02
Drew
What about it? Well, it's that it's really, it's women who also have commonly sort of their gushing, they have a female ejaculate, but then all of a sudden they'll urinate also. So some of them have both going on. And essentially, everyone I've been talking to so far, and I'm going to talk to some of the gynecologists tomorrow, the urinary incontinence is part of a more global problem with incontinence, usually. That it's they, you know, they've had a baby and they're kind of, they have incontinence when they laugh or sneeze. And then they start having it with orgasm. And there are operations and medication to repair this. And they find it rather troubling. Even though, as I predicted, most of the guys, the husbands, the boyfriends and stuff, they think it's great. They at first.
4:43
Adam
No, they don't think it's great.
4:45
Drew
No, they do. At first.
4:46
Adam
Okay, at first. But these are husbands and boyfriends, not John's and weekend lovers. You know what I'm saying?
4:55
Drew
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
4:56
Adam
They're in for the long haul. You're right.
4:58
Drew
But I went out on the street and talked to a bunch of people. And the guy, to a guy, every single one of them was like, well, is this something I do to them? I make it happen? Oh, I'm on board. I'm on board. And then I say, well, how about if it keeps happening? They're like, oh, again, I get tired of it. But if I can do that, count me in.
5:14
Adam
Well, they're on they're on board hypothetically.
5:17
Drew
Yeah, yeah.
5:18
Adam
You're talking to guys on the street.
5:20
Drew
Right. It's like communism on paper. It sounds good. Yeah.
5:22
Adam
And listen, guys are scared. Guys don't want to be called squeamish sexually at all.
5:28
Drew
Yeah.
5:29
Adam
They have a big worry that guys have a problem with that. Really? No, no guy wants to say, oh, sexually.
5:36
Drew
Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I think you're right.
5:37
Adam
You know, you talk to a guy on the street, put a microphone on his face, ask him, you know, what you think about, you know, orgasmic incontinence or anal sex or anything. It's like, dude, count me out. Cool. I'm in. I'm in. You know, no guy. Now, see, guys, you know, guys really don't want to admit. Well, I think part of the problem is it's a horrible sound.
6:00
Drew
What happened?
6:01
Adam
Yeah, it's got one of those like satellite hits. Guys barely want to admit that they're, you know, they don't like to watch those channels that have the surgeries and stuff.
6:10
Drew
Well, the problem, yeah, they don't like that. They don't like that you, they don't like admitting that you. And then secondly, there are those passionate guys who are just in. And once those guys come around, the rest of them have to be in too.
6:20
Adam
Yeah, because you can't have one guy who's like, oh man, you know, after my lady orgasms, I take the sheet and I ring it out and I get every last drop onto my tongue because it's like nectar, the gut. And then you can't have the other guy going, I put a gardening glove on before I throw a digit at one of my girls because it's, you know, there's the cootie factor. Yeah, you don't want to do that. So guys all have to have that, oh yeah, no, I'm down, I'm in. I'm down, I'm in. But the reality is, is half those guys are into it and the other half are lying. And then number two, by the time you get to month four and the relationship and the guys, you know, been hit in the face with enough streams of urine, he would probably like take a little break from it.
7:08
Drew
Yes.
7:09
Adam
That's all I'm saying.
7:10
Drew
Yes, I'm with you. And what an interesting thing happens, here's an interesting thing that was happening, some of these women is they start experiencing discomfort and sort of their esteem goes down. So the guys are like, all right, you know, it's all right, it's not bothering me too much. The women start freaking out, just, you know, this is back to them wearing lingerie because it makes them feel sexy. Peeing on somebody doesn't feel sexy to them and they start dreading sex and start avoiding it and not telling their boyfriends and husbands.
7:37
Adam
Mm-hmm, yeah.
7:38
Drew
Interesting.
7:38
Adam
Yeah, no, I could see that. And by the way, if I, I don't know how I could pee simultaneously with an orgasm, but how about it?
7:47
Drew
But if, but if. If you vomit. Number two. How about you vomit? Number two, yes, of course, of course.
7:52
Adam
Yeah, if I did the number two thing every time I orgasm, it would slow me down in the bedroom just a little bit. Certainly outside of the marriage, you know, new ladies and all. Yeah. All right. So let's go to phones.
8:09
Drew
Let's do.
8:11
Adam
Tiffany?
8:12
Yes. Yes.
8:14
Adam
What's up?
8:16
I have a so-called boyfriend. I'm not sure what we are anymore. We were in Germany together. We're both military. We have a son together. He went to Iraq. He just came back. I found out Valentine's Day.
8:27
Adam
Wow. He can't be older than three or four and he's already serving the country?
8:32
No, my boyfriend.
8:33
Adam
That's absolutely amazing. Hold on a second. You want to talk about American. You know, plenty of people, plenty of people that brag. Well, you know, I was in Desert Storm or I've been to Iraq. Yeah, yeah. You went in your late teens, 18, 19, maybe 20, 21. I mean, she's 25. This kid cannot be older than five or six years old.
8:52
Drew
She swaddled him in an American flag and sent him off to Iraq.
8:56
Adam
Now, I don't think you could handle certain jobs. Maybe ball turret gunner, you know, something where a diminutive size would be to your advantage. That's something I could see. I couldn't see out, you know, you know, just, you know, as a green beret or seal or something like that. You know, Johnny Ground Pounder would be tough. But I imagine they're jobs that are suited nicely for five or six year old, you know, any kind of turret work would be good. Sure, they could be the guy who actually fed the ammunition belt to the guy in the trenches.
9:30
Drew
Tunneling, tunneling, underground.
9:32
Adam
Tunneling, tunnel rat. Yeah, where they got to send a guy in. Yep, just a 45 and a flashlight in their mouth. Go give. Kids probably a tunnel rat. You're right. Okay. I say ball turret gunner. You say tunnel rat?
9:45
Drew
Yes.
9:46
Adam
Okay. Tiffany, what's the kid doing over there in Iraq? And by the way, God bless you. God bless you for doing that.
9:53
Drew
I am moved. I am beside myself. I'm so delighted with this caller.
9:57
Adam
Yeah. While other kids are just wedding themselves and trying to get into the first grade, your kid is defending this country abroad. God bless you. What's he doing over there?
10:07
My son or my boyfriend.
10:09
Adam
Said your son was over in Iraq?
10:11
No, my boyfriend.
10:13
Adam
He's with your son?
10:14
No.
10:15
Drew
What's the weather?
10:17
Adam
They're both in Iraq?
10:19
My boyfriend was in Iraq.
10:21
Adam
Your boyfriend lives in Iraq?
10:23
He was. He just got back. I found out on Valentine's Day he was back.
10:27
Adam
So he's an Iraqi guy?
10:30
No. He's an American.
10:32
Adam
Oh, he's just living over there.
10:34
No, he was fighting for our country.
10:36
Adam
Okay, he wants to go fight by his son.
10:38
Oh, God.
10:40
Adam
I think that's noble. I don't think my dad would ever do that. Well, let's just keep going.
10:47
Anyway, I'm not sure what's going on with us. One, he's not told his family about our son. My mom keeps telling me, oh, well, he's married, he's married, he's married. And I keep telling her, no, no, no. So I want to know if I'm holding on to a dream.
11:05
Adam
Let me just cut you off one quick thing.
11:06
Of him coming back to me.
11:07
Adam
Hold on, a couple of things, Tiffany. First off, you don't have to give the triple reply to the triple statement, like if your mom goes, he's married, he's married, he's married, you can just go, no, he's not. It seems like it makes sense mathematically to do the same amount of no's as she says he's married, but one still works. Yeah, now what do you mean he's married? He's married, he's married.
11:31
Drew
Yeah, well, what does that figure into this?
11:32
He's trying to tell me that maybe he's married because he's hiding his son from his family. His family has no idea that me or his son even exist. Oh boy.
11:44
Drew
Where does he live?
11:46
What does he do?
11:47
Drew
I mean, how do you guys meet? Where does he live?
11:50
We were in Germany together.
11:52
Drew
I see, that's right. I see. Good boy.
11:55
Adam
Yeah. It doesn't sound well, first off.
11:57
Our son is only 15 months old.
12:00
Adam
Wow. That much more impressive, Drew.
12:03
Drew
You said he was three, Adam.
12:05
Adam
I thought he was three or four fighting over there. 15 months. This is now Guinness Book of World Record material.
12:13
Drew
He's a codecracker too.
12:15
Adam
This kid, he's a wind talker. This kid will be a four-star general by the eighth grade easily. That's my prediction. Keep an eye on this kid. All right, so Tiffany.
12:28
Drew
Your mom's explanation, your sort of deciding that he is married, is actually her attempting to make him into a good guy. Because at least if he's married, that is a reasonable explanation for why he's behaving the way he is.
12:42
Adam
That's motivation, yeah.
12:43
Drew
Right, as opposed to the fact that he's just an a-hole, a sociopath.
12:47
So am I holding on to a dream that he's going to come back to me?
12:50
Adam
Yes.
12:51
Drew
I think probably. We don't know. I mean, we don't know. It's a horrible situation, but you need to really get some clarity from him and his family, too. I mean, he has an obligation to you. He has a child with you.
13:01
Well, I mean, he takes care of his money. I mean, he takes care of his son.
13:06
Adam
All right.
13:07
How long has it been? We haven't seen each other since July of 03.
13:12
Adam
Oh boy. Oh, 03?
13:14
Drew
It's the Madame Butterfly here.
13:15
Adam
Wow.
13:16
Drew
Is his name?
13:18
Adam
Never. Yeah. I don't know what that soldier's...
13:21
Drew
I screwed myself up.
13:23
Adam
Yeah. You're Miss Saigon over there? Are you going to start singing the Miss Saigon stuff?
13:30
No.
13:30
Drew
The Puccini.
13:32
Adam
Yeah.
13:32
No, I love him. I do. I'd do anything in the world for him.
13:36
Drew
Madame Butterfly.
13:38
Adam
All right. Sorry. Who am I thinking of? All right. Tiffany. Tiffany. You I know you love him and I know there's this sort of magical thing that people have, which is I want it so badly, therefore it must come to fruition. You wanting him to come back to you badly is like you just really, really wanting a exotic automobile that you're never going to own. Is it Pinkerton? All you're wanting, quiet, all you're wanting is not going to get you the car. You can't do anything about it. It's not it's not like the car is going to come find you because it feels how badly you actually want it. He doesn't care. He's made that clear. He's also made it clear.
14:25
Drew
He's gone for nearly two years. Two years out of your life.
14:28
Adam
He's also made it clear.
14:28
But it was voluntary duties.
14:30
Adam
He's not a good guy. I don't trust this guy. You shouldn't have crapped out a kid with this breed of cat. You made a mistake and now you're going to have to get realistic for not only you but your child.
14:45
I would trade my son in for the world, you know.
14:48
Drew
Well, that's the weird part about all this. You made a mistake that it was with him and yet you're blessed with something that you really value.
14:55
Adam
Well, you got a 15-month-old fighting machine is what you have. And look.
15:01
I'm hoping he'll take after us.
15:04
Adam
Well, I think he's already started if he's over in Iraq. But look, I don't want to digress. You need to take care of your child, take care of yourself and move on.
15:15
So how do I move on?
15:18
Drew
Start dating.
15:19
Adam
Start dating and take care of your child. And look at this guy is missing an action. Yeah. Or better yet, killed an action. Maybe, I don't mean literally.
15:30
Drew
Build the story accordingly.
15:32
Adam
But I mean, move ahead.
15:32
What do I do when he calls and he decides to see his son?
15:36
Adam
When is he going to do that? When's the last time he's called?
15:39
Well, the last email I got was Valentine's Day.
15:43
Drew
It wasn't saying.
15:44
Saying that he was home.
15:46
Drew
And?
15:48
That was it. He said that he was getting a phone hooked up and that he was getting a cell phone. Yet, I haven't had a call yet.
15:56
Adam
Right.
15:56
Okay.
15:57
Adam
Listen, Tiffany, you're not good parent material. You're a mess. Please try not to screw up your kid.
16:03
Drew
This guy is an idiot. Yeah, as far as what you should do when this guy calls is exclude him from, change your phone number, exclude him from your life. It's better your child think that he is somebody else.
16:13
Adam
Yeah, he's not a good guy.
16:14
Drew
Yeah.
16:15
Adam
He, you know, a month ago, he tried to call or something. I mean, I don't understand it. This guy has a child. He has a woman. And I don't know what he's doing. You have to move forward. Okay. Here's the thing, everybody.
16:29
Drew
By the way, that guy probably has children with other women, that kind of guy.
16:33
Adam
There's a decent point. And they're probably fighting in Iraq as we speak as well. Of course. Although they could be older, like four and five years of age. Let me say this. You can't get other people to do the right thing just because it's the right thing. My God. You know what I'm saying? And everyone wants to know why. Why would he do this? Why would he call and then not, you know, contact me again? Why would he not want to see his own child? Why? Why? Why? Why would Hitler round up the Jews? Why? Why? I don't know why. I'll tell you why. There's bad people. There are people out there that aren't great. There's shades of gray. There's people out there that, you know, kill college nursing students and, you know, have sex with their corpses. That's super bad. Not as bad as publicist, but it's getting up there. Then they're just guys who, you know, crap out a kid and they don't see them. They move to Florida. That's bad too. Not as bad. Why? There's bad people. Is everyone surprised by this? Turn the news on. Yeah, yeah. You see, you're watching the news. Somebody blew up an embassy. Somebody shot his wife. Somebody robbed a bank. Yeah, your guy, he's somewhere in between one of these guys.
17:55
Drew
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and the confusing thing about this when you talk to that bad person is they don't feel like a bad person and they have reasons for what they do. And sometimes they're not bad people just doing bad things. You know what I mean? It's confusing for people. And because we've got, because we got through a period of history, by the way.
18:14
Adam
Yes, Drew, I don't want to, I don't want to.
18:16
Drew
Don't go to the Tsunami thing again. Yeah, yeah. Don't go to the Tsunami thing again.
18:19
Adam
No, that's you. I wasn't going to go there, but I'm glad you brought that up. Yeah. No, I'm not going there again. You can just think about that yourself. I am going to say that if you do bad things, you're a bad person. I'm now, I'm now comfortable with that. I don't, I'm not into this, not a bad guy doing bad things. If you do bad things, you're a bad person.
18:39
Drew
Good enough. We think about it, we've gone through a period of history where everything was that you can't judge, everything's relative, right? Yeah. So people get confused about these things.
18:48
Adam
No, they absolutely do. And there's this sort of thing where, well, you don't know until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Just look, I don't want to get to know everybody. If you do bad things, you're a bad person. And tell proven otherwise. You see, unless you find a cure for cancer, you know, later on in life, in which case you have some redemption. But until until now or until then, you're just another deadbeat dad.
19:14
Drew
What do you do with bad people that do good things?
19:18
Adam
Like who? Like what?
19:20
Drew
I don't know. I just think that there are probably plenty of bad people out there that have done things like found cures for cancer and stuff that are motivated out of pernicious reasons and find something that helps people.
19:29
Adam
I don't mind that. I mean, if you really break it down, like most of these philanthropists that end up giving tons of money and then get their names, you know, Andrew Carnegie gets his name all over, you know, music centers and libraries and stuff like that. You know, maybe he only did it so he could have a statue or plaque or his name in front of Carnegie Hall. And by the way, to the idiots on PBS who now have changed his name to Carnegie.
19:56
Drew
No.
19:57
Adam
Yes. Is it Carnegie Hall now too?
20:01
Drew
I actually, I knew his great grandkids. They call him Carnegie.
20:05
Adam
I know. How can it be Andrew Carnegie and the guys playing Yo-Yo Maas playing at Carnegie Hall? You got to change that one too. Then you don't watch PBS. You'll get angry, but it's Carnegie. Unless there's another group, unless there's Carnegie and a Carnegie. But look, I don't want to digress. The point is, is if you make millions of dollars, donate it to charity, and the only reason you do it is so they can have a plaque with your name on it in front of the library for the retarded blind midget kids, so be it. All right, let's take care of a little business here, Drew.
20:46
Drew
Yes, go ahead, go ahead.
20:47
Adam
Was it good? Go ahead.
20:48
Drew
No, you're done. I was just thinking about Schindler's List, and they're saying now that really he was motivated at a sinister, much more sinister reasons than the movie even suggested. But good things came of it, you know.
21:00
Adam
Well, okay, well, it's Sunday night, it's full moon, we can get heavy, but does anybody, you know, I mean, you can keep distilling this down so that nobody has a positive motivation, even if your motivation is just to feel good about yourself. Well, isn't that sort of, aren't you doing it for you?
21:20
Drew
He, you know, George Washington believed that all human motivation boiled down to something he called self-interest, that if it didn't serve your interest as a person, whether it's because of your kids or your family, whatever, whatever is interest to you, then you're, then you're suspect because it has to boil down to the self-interest or it's not real.
21:42
Adam
Yeah, I agree for the most part. Sometimes I mean, you know, sometimes it gets, it gets back to you, meaning, meaning you donate to something and you just do it, I don't know, not thinking about it. I don't know if you do it so you look better. Or, you know, the people around you, pressuring you, I don't know how it goes. But yeah, I think you could argue that almost everything comes back to the person. But if you're opening a new wing at the hospital and you're paying for it, then so be it. I don't mind that kind of narcissism. Starting tonight, by the way, the good folks at iPod have given us, endowed us with the power to give out an iPod shuffle every night. One. That's cool. Yes, one every night for the next five nights. And here's how it works. We go to break and when we come back, we come back with a bumper song. Yes, Chris? You know radio. You know bumpers, right?
22:44
Drew
Play one.
22:44
Adam
Yeah. Can we play one? Dave can.
22:47
Drew
Dave can.
22:48
Adam
Yeah, yeah, true.
22:51
Drew
I was asking a lot.
22:52
Adam
You ever think that's gonna happen?
22:53
Drew
No, no, I know.
22:54
Adam
Have you ever asked for something and it's actually happened on the show?
22:58
Drew
No.
22:59
Adam
Okay. So when we come back, you will hear some music as we come back. Close your eyes and picture music playing as we come back.
23:09
Drew
Right.
23:09
Adam
As a matter of fact, engineer Chris, do you think you could do Mr. Brightside by The Killers?
23:17
Drew
Yeah.
23:17
Adam
You think you could hum it?
23:19
Drew
Oh, no, no, no.
23:19
Adam
Yeah, I think you could hum it. I think you could hum it.
23:22
Drew
He could play it. He could play it.
23:23
Adam
No, no. Let's just hum it. Let's just try to hum it. And then we'll come back.
23:27
Drew
All right. Wait, wait, wait. Is that the song we got to hear to get the iPod?
23:32
Adam
Yes, Drew. You're a genius. Mr. Brightside by The Killers. Go ahead.
23:37
I can't hear you. Come on.
23:39
Adam
I'm not asking you to hum it. I'm commanding you to hum it. Now hum.
23:44
Yeah, go, go.
23:45
Adam
Yeah, just go.
23:48
There you go.
23:48
Adam
Yeah, just keep going.
23:51
La-di-da.
23:51
Adam
Keep going.
23:52
Drew
Chris, Chris, think of your career in radio, dude.
23:55
Adam
Keep going, buddy. Just keep humming. Hum something. Okay, keep going. You got to keep going. Hey, it's Loveline. Keep going. Keep going. Hum Adam. Oh, we have it. Oh, yeah. Good job, Dave. Yeah, play, play, Mr. Brightside. Yeah. So you hear this song and you hear me talking and then you call in and you win yourself one of these iPod shuffles. It's as easy as that, except for when we go to commercial and Ann explains me something I didn't tell you. All right. So you got it. You hear this song when we come back from break and I don't know if it's going to be this break. The point is it's going to happen.
24:35
Drew
Maybe after 11 or whatever.
24:37
Adam
Could be well into Rodney on the Rock for all I know. I really have no idea.
24:42
Drew
Good times.
24:42
Adam
But theoretically, you will hear that and then you will call in and you will get one of these shuffles and I have one. I'm delighted with it. Drew, you have one. You gave it to your kids.
24:52
Drew
I didn't give it to my kids. My wife took it from me.
24:55
Adam
And gave it to your kids?
24:56
Drew
Yeah, the four of them used it. I don't get a chance to use it.
24:59
Adam
Oh, Drew, it's got to be tough, buddy. All right, we'll take a little break. Drew in Who Cares? And we'll be right back after this.
25:07
Drew
Loveline.
25:08
Okay, wait, wait, my hair.
25:11
Drew
My hair.
25:11
We'll be right back.
25:17
Adam
Yeah, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Dr. Drew in San Antonio tonight.
25:24
Drew
And Antonio in our lovely affiliate, 1027Krock.
25:28
Adam
God bless them over there. Let me say the one thing producer Anne forgot to tell me. Actually, she did tell me, but the one thing she mentioned I forgot about this iPod thing is when you come on, you have to say iPod shuffle.
25:46
The hell you have to say, Anne?
25:48
Drew
No, so when you call in, you have to immediately say iPod shuffle when you hear the killers.
25:53
Adam
That's right. That's right. That's how you win.
25:56
Drew
And the number you call is the 1-800-LOVE-191.
26:01
Adam
That's right. You call in, you say the iPod shuffle line after you hear the killers. All right, Drew, you watch Academy Awards tonight?
26:09
Drew
Not one second of it.
26:11
Adam
Fantastic, buddy. That's why I can always count on you.
26:15
Drew
Do you want me to say yes and not interrupt the flow of the show again or just tell you the truth?
26:19
Adam
All right, buddy. Keep telling the truth. Let's talk to Drew. Are you hearing that?
26:28
Drew
No, I'm not.
26:28
Adam
Yeah, we get this. I've been getting these horrible satellite hits. You know those satellite hits that make it just, your fillings shoot out of your goddamn teeth? Yes. We've gotten, I think that's our fourth in a half hour worth of show. So, according to my calculations, we can look forward to quite a few more of these before the night is true. All right, let's talk to, someone's playing the violin. Vicki?
26:58
Hello.
26:59
Adam
You're 19?
27:00
Caller
Yes.
27:01
Adam
What's up?
27:01
Caller
Okay, I have a few different problems which can be called somatiform disorder. I think I heard Drew using that term a few weeks ago. And they are, well, IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, which I get diarrhea a lot, but mainly only when I go out of the house or I'm on a date or something. And then also, I'm studying to be a violinist, and a lot of times I get pain in my arms and my back when I play. And I think that these are not so much physical problems as anxiety issues. And I want to know what kind of doctor to go to because I don't think a psychiatrist could understand like the digestive issues, but like a GI might not know how to deal with the anxiety. So I want to know what you guys think.
27:48
Drew
Psychiatrists all the time, yeah, psychiatrists all the time deal with musculoskeletal headache and GI complaints associated with anxiety and mood disturbances. That is what they do. And the interventions that they have are pharmacological for the most part and they actually take care of very nicely these symptoms. I am a big advocate of talking cure also. I mean, see somebody who is a PHD or a PHD or who does intensive therapy to try to figure out why you can't regulate more effectively by yourself. That takes time. In the meantime, the medication might help with these symptoms.
28:23
Caller
I have been on Zoloft and it hasn't really been helping, but maybe I should change it.
28:28
Drew
Is the psychiatrist that prescribed it?
28:30
Caller
Yes.
28:31
Drew
All right. Do you officially have a diagnosis of somatiform disorder?
28:34
Caller
No, I don't.
28:36
Drew
What is your diagnosis? Depression, right?
28:38
Adam
Somatiform disorder is a bunch of stuff that happens from, emanates from your head.
28:43
Drew
Yeah, it basically means preoccupation with physical symptoms, or in the family of preoccupations of physical symptoms. It's a nonspecific diagnosis, really.
28:52
Adam
In layman's terms, it's called a Jew. That's its street name. You call it somatiform, I call it Jew. Yeah. Vicki.
29:03
Caller
Yes.
29:04
Adam
You gotta be Jewish, because you're playing a violin and you don't sound Asian.
29:11
Caller
I'm actually not, but I've been called an honorary Asian because I'm short, too.
29:16
Adam
All right. Well, I'm gonna make you an honorary Jew.
29:19
Caller
Okay.
29:20
Adam
Because you're an honorary. So it's like you got more honorary degrees in Bill Cosby. This is awesome. I had a conversation with my agent about what an a-hole Bill Cosby was, by the way. I don't know the man, but he seems to think he is. And I always agree when everyone thinks, says someone's an a-hole. But you know, that whole part where you go get your honorary degree, where they make you a doctor, always feels weird to me. Like super weird. Like, how about you make me a Super Bowl ring while you're at it?
29:55
Drew
Right.
29:56
Adam
Like, it seems, it just seems bizarre to go, go travel from college to college, getting doctorate degrees that you didn't earn.
30:04
Drew
I'd like some more. I'd like some more of those.
30:07
Adam
You should go get some.
30:07
Drew
Just add some more degrees. He's fantastic. But listen, Cosby actually did get a PhD though. He was actually at UMass Amherst when I was at Amherst College. All right.
30:15
Adam
But then he gets his doctorate from other colleges that he didn't attend to.
30:19
Drew
Right. These are his honorary degrees. Yeah.
30:21
Adam
Well, that's what I'm saying. I mean, it just, look, I love the idea of having anything. I would like to have the belt buckle that made me the rodeo champion of any given year or Super Bowl ring or any, you know, I mean, wouldn't it be nice to have a ring that says, you know, you played for the 1982 World National Champion Nebraska Cornhuskers? I mean, it'd be awesome except for if you didn't actually, you weren't actually on the team, then it would kind of lose some of its, a little bit of its luster, especially when people asked about it.
30:59
Caller
Yes.
31:00
Drew
You have the world's greatest and you have a little replaceable plaque in there. Right.
31:04
Adam
Yeah. I'm just saying the idea that you get these degrees from these colleges is great except for you didn't actually go to the college.
31:12
Drew
Well, but theoretically the degrees are for people who have significant accomplishments that have people that have...
31:19
Adam
All right. I'll just give them a plaque then. Don't give them a doctorate.
31:22
Drew
We got to get you one of those. We got to get you something.
31:24
Adam
I got to get one of those things. Yeah.
31:26
Drew
Yeah. It's like what they give the scarecrow and the Wizard of Oz.
31:30
Adam
Yeah.
31:30
Drew
They got to give you a diploma.
31:32
Adam
Get a brain. Vicki? Yeah.
31:35
Drew
All right.
31:36
Adam
Honorary Asian, honorary Jew. Yeah. Yeah. Go back to the psychiatrist and see what's up. All right?
31:43
Drew
Absolutely. Ask for a referral to a therapist.
31:46
Caller
Thanks, guys. I really appreciate all I've learned from you guys over the years.
31:50
Adam
Thanks, Vicki.
31:51
Caller
All right. Have a good night.
31:53
Adam
You too. Well, have a good night. We never get that.
31:58
Drew
Vicki sounds like this wonderful person. Doesn't anybody get to just be nice and happy?
32:06
No.
32:07
You know what I mean?
32:08
Adam
Well, she has to torture herself. Is that what you're saying?
32:12
Drew
Well, yeah, but she's truly a nice person, but she can't appreciate it.
32:17
Adam
Yeah. Well, nice doesn't count for anything with people, at least to themselves. Nobody gives themselves credit for being nice, and maybe they should. Society doesn't give you much credit for being nice. Society gives you credit for being brilliant, interesting, and deep, or troubled, or thought-provoking, but they don't really give enough credit to nice people. You're right. Nice people make this world a much better place. They're sort of like the pets of the human population. No, no, it's nice. You know, it makes you feel good. You know, you come home, and your dogs are happy to see you.
32:54
Drew
I mean, I think there was a time in history where that was really looked upon as the ideal, you know, to be a good person with... They're really talking about nice people.
33:02
Adam
Yeah. Being nice is a virtue. More people ought to be nice. It's a great way to be. And it makes people want to hang out with you, too, by the way.
33:15
Drew
But nice people carry a burden always. It's sort of a codependency. But isn't it sad that we're set up that way as humans or the way we exist anyway today? Is it if you're nice, other people exploit you, make you feel bad, and you don't get to feel good about yourself?
33:27
Adam
Well, most nice people feel like they're taken advantage of. And maybe that's an interesting sort of complexity to being nice, which is maybe they're not so nice.
33:40
Drew
Maybe there's an aggression underneath.
33:41
Adam
Maybe there's a way of just setting up this self-fulfilling prophecy where, you know, what ends up happening is, is you're the world's nicest person. So every time your friends want to go out to dinner, you say, wherever you want to eat, that's fine. And then you end up eating at a place you don't want to eat at and you get resentful. But you're still the world's nicest person. But you just complain that people are making taking advantage of you all the time.
34:04
Drew
Interesting point.
34:05
Adam
Yes. So who are you kidding? You nice people. Knock it off. I see right through you like rice paper in front of a Klieg light. Who are you kidding? How dare you? Nice people.
34:18
Drew
Rice paper in front of a Klieg light. What?
34:21
Adam
Yeah. That's I could see through that.
34:24
Drew
I see.
34:25
Adam
See what I'm saying?
34:26
Drew
I see what you're saying.
34:27
Adam
I see right through you.
34:29
Drew
I see.
34:29
Adam
Like rice paper in front of a Klieg light.
34:32
Drew
Just making note of the genius of that reference.
34:35
Adam
Thank you. And Drew, please stop me if I've ever said that before.
34:40
Drew
Never. That's why I stopped to make note of it. I don't think anybody's ever said that before.
34:44
Adam
Thank you. Now, here's the real fun part. We're going to ask engineer Chris if he knows what rice paper or a Klieg light is.
34:52
Caller
You're ready?
34:53
Drew
No, I'm good.
34:54
Caller
You're ready?
34:55
Drew
Ready and action.
34:56
Adam
Go.
34:58
Drew
Yes.
34:59
Adam
Klieg light.
35:00
Drew
No, I don't know what that is.
35:02
Adam
All right. Rice paper.
35:04
Drew
No.
35:05
Adam
Okay. All right. See, maybe not such a genius reference after all, Drew, or maybe that much more of a genius reference.
35:13
Construction or something?
35:16
Adam
With the rice paper, the Klieg light.
35:18
Caller
No, the Klieg light.
35:19
Adam
The Klieg light are those big lights that go in front of the big movie theaters when they do the Hollywood premieres. Yeah.
35:27
Caller
Like a spotlight.
35:28
Adam
Like a spotlight. Yeah. Such as tonight at the Academy Awards.
35:33
Drew
Hollywood and Thailand.
35:34
Adam
You could see those things.
35:35
Drew
Did you have to drive through all that traffic? Oh my God.
35:38
Adam
It seemed to break up by the time I hit the road or something. There was a fair amount of it. I guess the Oscars ended kind of early by Oscar, you know, standards tonight. I think it ended at like 844, something like that I'd noted, which is I guess about a three hour and 15 minute ceremony, which is nice. I didn't see the opening act and I only saw bits and pieces of it, but getting hit hard by these satellite flares, it's true. It's really, it's mind-boggling.
36:15
Drew
You know what, I'm kind of hearing them way off in the distance, it's sort of a crackly sound. You've had like three in the last three minutes, right?
36:23
Adam
What's that?
36:24
Drew
You've had like three in the last three minutes.
36:26
Adam
Yes. Yes, it's painful. But I'm a pro, so I'll continue. So anyway, I guess the show was a pretty good show and Million Dollar Baby seemed to walk away with most of the accolades. Did you see that, Drew?
36:40
Drew
No, I did. I heard about it.
36:41
Adam
I thought you saw that.
36:43
Drew
I heard it got four. Did it get best picture?
36:45
Adam
I guess it got best picture, best supporting actor, best actress, and best spit buckets, a new boxing-oriented one. Now, I don't know. Yeah, maybe Clint Eastwood would want it. I'll tell you, you will probably be disappointed when you see this movie. It is not best picture material in my mind at all. One of the main, listen, hold your ears if, well, Drew, you don't care. But if you haven't seen it, hold your ears. But one of the things, I would argue that it can't be best picture for this one flaw. Just going to hit again. At the end of the fight, the hero gets to, has a big boxing match. And the other girl, I'm trying not to give away too much, basically ends the fight by fouling her out. As she's walking back to her corner, the other chick just comes up behind her and whacks her in the head and hurts her, okay? They give, throughout the rest of the movie, there's another half hour worth of movie, they keep referring to her as being so close to winning the belt, but she didn't win the fight, she never won the fight. The reality is, is you win the fight if somebody comes up behind you and hits you in the head while you're walking back to your corner after the bell rings. They give you win the fight if you can't continue. That's Evander Holyfield got knocked out of the Olympics because he hit a guy from like Sweden a second after the bell rang and knocked him out and they gave the guy the victory because he got hit after the bell rang.
38:31
Drew
And by the way, it wasn't like he chased him back to the corner, he just swung late.
38:35
Adam
They were trading in the middle of the ring and he hit him a beat after the bell rang and still the guy got the victory. If you're boxing and you know the bell rings and you turn around and start walking back to your corner and the guy comes flying up behind you and hits you with his elbow and you can't continue, guess who wins the fight?
38:53
Drew
That's right.
38:54
Adam
Yeah, they don't give it to the guy who punched you in the back of the head. That was a huge screw-up on their part.
39:04
Drew
I'm going more Torium. I refuse to see the film because of that. That will distract me beyond belief.
39:09
Adam
And they kept going back to this, you know, after the thing they kept going back with like her comically ridiculous, her cartoon family going, well, baby, you lost the fight. Now, don't forget, you lost, you know. And it was like, no, you would have won the fight. And somebody should have somebody on set or somebody read the script or something should have just got on the Internet for 10 seconds. Obviously, this is a bunch of them Hollywood Quimby types who don't know anything about sports and stuff. Some any any normal guy would have raised his hand and went, wait a minute. The other chick fouled her. She would have won the fight. Or or let's do the math. Did the other chick win because she attacked her after the bell rang? You know what I'm saying? See, you don't have to see it, Drew.
39:56
Drew
I'm not going to.
39:57
Adam
You're fine.
39:58
Drew
I'm on Corolla moratorium.
39:59
Adam
Thank you. We'll take a quick break. Be right back after this.
40:04
Caller
1-800-LOVE-191.
40:07
Loveline will be right back.
40:17
Adam
There, buddy, it's Loveline.
40:19
Drew
I'm Adam.
40:19
Adam
That's Dr. Drew in Corpus Christi.
40:24
Drew
San Antonio.
40:25
Adam
San Antonio. Oh, same. It's all one big Spanish surname.
40:30
Drew
You know, this is really a pretty town, though. I gotta tell you something. It's amazing. Really, I would come back here. It's beautiful.
40:36
Adam
You would. All right. Why don't you stay?
40:39
Drew
Well, cause then I'd take S from you every night.
40:41
Adam
I mean, you don't have to come back. You just stay. Hey, relocate San Antonio. Where's the Alamo, Drew?
40:49
Drew
San Antonio.
40:50
Adam
Yeah. Move into that Alamo. Rent yourself a car. I bet the guys who all died at the Alamo are excited that now it's a crappy car rental place. I'm sure. Probably just that they had in mind. All right, Drew, on the phone. And this could be a disaster, but it could also prove to be interesting. We were just, I was just complaining about Million Dollar Baby, which cleaned up at the Oscars tonight, by the way. On the phone is Gannon, who's 33, and claims that his dad wrote Million Dollar Baby. They can explain it to us, but the guy who wrote Million Dollar Baby is not that old. I didn't, I didn't think. Gannon?
41:33
Yes, sir.
41:34
Adam
Your dad wrote Million Dollar Baby?
41:37
Yeah, my dad's name is Jerry Boyd. He wrote, I don't know if his name is FX. Toole. He actually wrote the story about four years ago. And Paul Haggis is the one who wrote the screenplay, but my dad was the author of the original story.
41:50
Adam
Oh really? Did he get any money out of it?
41:53
A little bit, but he passed away two and a half years ago. So we haven't really gotten anything either. It's kind of one of those things, but hopefully someday we will.
42:01
Adam
Well, we must have been excited about it cleaning up at the Oscars tonight.
42:05
Absolutely. Absolutely. We're ecstatic, jumping for joy.
42:08
Adam
So what did you think about? Well, you can explain the whole foul out thing to me. So your dad, so what did your dad write?
42:20
He wrote a book called Ropeburn, Stories from the Corner. It was a collection of six short stories, and that was published in about 2000. And from that, Paul Haggis and Al Reddy, Al Reddy was one of the producers, Paul Haggis was the screenwriter. He took two of dad's stories and merged them into one story. And that became the screenplay that Clint Eastwood shot and made into the movie.
42:47
Adam
Okay. Now, how, so can you explain what my problem with the movie, which was the foul out part at the end?
42:56
Yeah, absolutely. It's kind of funny. When you mentioned Evander Holyfield, to put it in perspective, when I was much younger, I actually was at that fight with my dad at the, I think it was at the Sports Arena in LA.
43:07
Adam
Yes, it was.
43:08
84. Yeah, we were actually at that fight and saw that happen. And it was one of the strangest things I've ever experienced. And it was one of the most surreal experiences. And then to hear you talk about it was kind of funny. But from reading the book and knowing the book pretty well, and yet having Paul Haggis make sort of a translation almost of it, my take on it was that it happened. In the movie, it made it come across like it was about the third round. And there were two things that happened. One of them was the way that it looked, the referee, they kind of made the referee look like kind of dumb and didn't really see anything happen. So that was part of it, which kind of almost reckons back to the WWF or something when the rest don't see things. But on top of that, from what I remember, a championship fight, if there's a disqualification, the champion, I believe, retains her belt unless she's beaten. And a lot of times, a fight that's disqualified early in a fight doesn't count towards that. So that was the thing.
44:13
Adam
Well, I mean, but that's for like an accidental headbutt where there's a bad cut and they can't continue, and it's before the third round or they haven't done three rounds, like before the fourth round. So here's the rule, as far as I know. This is Loveline at its best, which is if these guys are fighting for the championship belt and they accidentally butt heads and one guy gets a cut, you know, the size of one of the Klitschko brothers forehead cuts and can't continue the fight, then it's a draw. I mean, it's a non, it essentially the fight didn't happen and whoever had the belt going in continues it. If it happens after they have three or four rounds in the bag, in the bag, then they go to the scorecards. All right. Let's see who was ahead. And it sort of makes sense. It's like, all right, we fought enough to decide if there's a winner or loser. But if the bell rings at the end of the second round, I'm walking back to my to my corner and you hit me in the head with a snow shovel, I think that would disqualify you and I would probably get the title. But if the ref doesn't see it, is what you're saying, and he just thinks I have a dent in my head, the shape of a snow shovel, and somehow passed out on my way back to the corner, mysteriously, I see what you're saying. So maybe use some artistic license and it could still work. But I still hope your dad didn't ride in the cartoonish family, who yelled at her for buying them a house.
45:45
Caller
Well, you know, it's kind of funny for me. I'd say read the book because it was a great read. You know, every author's family is going to say that. But it wasn't the same way now. It was close. There were certain parts of it, but it was more fleshed out in the book. But that's one of the things, you know, you take a story, you put it on film, and there's only so much they can put on film in two hours. Wow.
46:06
Drew
Do you write too?
46:07
Caller
No, no, no, no. I don't, I wish that I had my father's talent in that sense, but my dad struggled for, he was 70 when he passed away, he was 72, pardon me, and he had written since he was about 18, and he didn't have anything published until he was 70. So he was a bit of a glutton for punishment, but my dad was actually, he worked the corner, he was a corner man, he was a trainer, that's what he did. So all the stuff about the book really comes from fight guys. When you read the stories, the one thing that Paul Haggis has kept saying is you really got the stink of the gym when you read the story. And I would say to anyone who has any interest in boxing to read them, the Quick Reads, it's only about a 300 page book, it's got six stories. And it really does justice to boxing.
46:59
Adam
What's it called, Gannon?
47:01
Caller
It's actually just been re-jacketed, it's called Million Dollar Baby, Stories From the Corner. You can find it at any bookstore across the country. They re-jacketed it so it looks, the poster from the movie is on the cover of the book.
47:13
Adam
Right, smart, right.
47:14
Drew
I'm gonna read the book and not watch the movie.
47:16
Adam
Ready to go to break. Thanks for calling, Gannon, running up against the break here. His dad was like Ernest Hemingway. It's awesome. I'm gonna kick my dad in the nuts. All right, we'll take a quick break, be right back after this.
47:31
Caller
Alright, guys, here's the deal. You're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
47:36

One call's all you need to make.
47:38

Call the Dateline.
47:39

Oh yeah! Everybody now! UGH! UGH!

Yeah, everybody. Get it on, that's what I'm talking about. Gotta get it on. Can't not have to, got to get it on. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191-ER. Tried to watch at Academy Awards tonight with my wife and a bunch of our friends she invited over, and chicks can't stop picking other chicks apart. So it's impossible to watch. So you just, you're just sitting there there, and all of a sudden, you know, Meryl Streep comes on, it's like, oh my god, she got fat. She got fat. And then the stupid chick argument stuff starts. She's not fat. That's the widescreen. It is not the widescreen. Widescreen doesn't make you wider. I'm not saying, it's like, oh, like Christ.
48:56
Drew
I still run out of the room screaming.
48:58
Adam
No, I had the dignity to, I took out the fireplace poker in front of everyone. I stood in front of the TV and I fell on it. Like a Japanese general. It went right through me. And they kept going. Adam looks fat falling on the fireplace poker. One of them commented, that's the last thing I heard before I just saw black. It was sort of flat line. Then I hovered over my body and heard them talking. They just wouldn't stop. Yeah. It's nonstop. It's either crazy praise. Oh my God, she's so beautiful. Where did she get that necklace? What's that necklace cost? It was either that or she's fat. I hate her. It's like every woman needed to be commented upon. Guys don't do that. Guys can watch something and not go, Oh, there's Tom Selleck. Oh my God, he shaved his mustache. He looks 10 years older with that mustache. You know what I mean? You're allowed to have a guy enter the room and go, a guy enter the TV and talk and then leave without making a bunch of comments about him and his physicality and what he looks like. Yeah. Yes. William H. Macy has really gone gray.
50:17
Drew
Oh, their only comment, they don't limit it just to the women.
50:20
Adam
No, no, no, no, no. It's all, it's all chicks. But could you imagine guys?
50:25
Drew
Yeah.
50:25
Adam
That's what I'm saying. Can this commenting on guys?
50:28
Drew
Yes. No, not even.
50:30
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Brad Pitt, you know, he's not that good. Yo, look at Dustin Hoffman said work done. You know what I mean? Like, huh. And now you get five or six of them in a room. You can't you can't watch anything. It's mission control. You know what I mean? Yeah. You thought you were just going to go watch the shuttle take off from Cape Canaveral. And next thing you know, you just got 30 guys in a room like I'm sure it's true.
51:01
Caller
It's not just a check.
51:03
Adam
Go, go, go. Check, check, negative, check, check, back up. That's right. That's green for that's countdown in five, four, check. That's all it is. Just five. It's mission control for dingbats. Five dingbats watching the TV. I can't hear myself think. Oh my. I had to go upstairs and take a nap, which I may have done anyway. Like, oh, and I just realized-
51:27
Drew
Did they watch the pre-show too?
51:29
Adam
I don't know. I was actually at the hardware store at that point trying to salvage what was left of my dignity. The Burbank Orchard Hardware Supply is really hopping during the, about Sunday night during the Academy Awards. You really get, it is dead in that joint. All right, you ready to rock here, Drew?
51:53
Drew
Here we go.
51:54
Adam
Let's appendix first. Nice. Vince? Yes. What's up?
52:02
Caller
How's it going, Adam?
52:03
Adam
Good.
52:04
Caller
All right. Well, I wanted this kind of, for Dr. Drew, I was EMT up in Alaska and I had a appendix rupture and it was the fourth rupture. And when they pulled out my appendix, they found a lump in there, came back from pathology as colon cancer. And they said, because of the, I guess the bacteria in the appendix had basically sat in my colon and caused colon cancer.
52:28
Drew
Colon cancer or carcinoid? Colon cancer.
52:33
Caller
Yeah.
52:34
Drew
Wow. Did they, had it penetrated the wall? Or was it localized?
52:39
Caller
It was stage two. It penetrated the wall into the periodical fat. And then, but it hadn't reached the major blood vessels yet. And then on Thanksgiving, I had a hippo colectomy done. And then. Yeah.
52:52
Drew
Hemicolectomy.
52:53
Caller
Right. Yeah. Yeah.
52:56
Adam
That's one of the best engines Chrysler ever built.
52:59
Drew
Hemicolectomy. Hemicolectomy. They take the part of the colon that goes from the small bowel to the liver, anatomically, called the ascending colon.
53:07
Caller
Right. But right now, they've got me on stuff called brand name is XELODA.
53:16
Drew
Yeah.
53:17
Caller
And then I guess it's called.
53:19
Drew
You take it for a few days out of every few, every couple of weeks, right?
53:22
Caller
Right. It's two weeks on, one week off. But now, they want to start me on the start date IV chemo, one day treatment.
53:30
Drew
Get it. Go as aggressive as you can. Well, it depends what they're going to give you, but go as aggressive as you can. I mean, what you're taking is an awfully mild form of chemo, but the more aggressive stuff, the more poisonous stuff, if they need you to take it, take it. You've got to go as aggressive as possible.
53:47
Caller
Right. Okay. And then the other thing, too, is I noticed, I've never heard of it, they said I wasn't going to lose my hair, but my hairline's kind of receding. Is that normal or?
53:57
Drew
You know, when people lose hair from chemo, it's because anything rapid growing, any rapidly growing tissue, hair, skin, colon, just sloughs off, just stops. And that's why people get diarrhea and they get hair loss. In this case, the frontal hair loss, I don't know what that would be due to.
54:14
Adam
So anything that's rapidly growing, like your fingernails?
54:20
Drew
Yeah, all the gets affected. It gets affected. That's the whole idea with the tumor. Because the tumors are rapidly growing and that's what gets, you know, things that are rapidly growing get affected by chemo.
54:33
Adam
Do your fingernails fall out ever? They just like grow more slowly.
54:37
Drew
They grow, I think, slowly and strangely.
54:39
Caller
I've been biting them off, so.
54:42
Adam
How was doing the EMT work in Alaska?
54:46
Caller
It was pretty interesting. I worked in Palmer, and we only get paid from the time on call, the time we're off call, and it's $7.50 an hour. And now I'm living here with my dad trying to get on with American Medical Response when I'm done with chemo, so.
55:00
Drew
Wow. But what is with you having had four ruptures that didn't result, and none of which, except the last, resulting in an operation? Did they just miss it?
55:09
Caller
Well, no. When I was in Korea, in the Army, I went to one-to-one for appendicitis, and the doctor said, Well, we know you have appendicitis. Everything says you have appendicitis, but I think you're constipated. I think you have mono. I ended up spending two days in the hospital with 104 fever, and then they sent me home. Then I had another rupture and I figured, well, I'm not going to go to sick hall for it, because they're just going to send me home again. Then in 2002, on Halloween, a doctor in Simi Valley told me, he said, Well, you have appendicitis. What do you want to do about it? I said, Well, I'm with the VA, and I don't know who's going to pay for it. And he said, Well, since you don't know who's going to pay for it, I can't operate. And then the fourth one told my doctor about it, and he said, I don't care who's going to pay for it, I'm taking it out right now. So. Right.
55:55
Adam
Yeah. That's how Drew would have been. I mean, the first doctor, not the second. Yeah.
56:01
Caller
My doctor up in the last one, Dr. Cohen, he's been really great. He's been really helpful with me. And then he said contact an attorney, though.
56:08
Adam
Yeah. All right. Well, look, you got to take care of yourself. I know it sounds trite, but I mean, at this point, it's a serious situation, but it can't, that can be OK.
56:19
Drew
They may have got to just nick a time, but you got to be as aggressive as possible.
56:23
Adam
Yeah. I was talking to this kid today, by the way, who told me he was being home schooled. And this one of the Chattie Cathy's that came by one of the kids, he said that he was, I said, why'd you drop out of regular school? I said, the teacher hated him. I started to take a breath like, and he told me the story. And you don't have kids ever believe it or not, but they start with like, she didn't like my penmanship. So when I would hand in papers, she would just look at me and tear them up and throw them right in the garbage can, right in front of me. It's like, yeah, I'm sure it's exactly how it goes. But you know, that's the kid's sense of it. But you always wonder, do they ever believe it exactly? And then more importantly, do they expect you to believe it?
57:15
Drew
Well, and now that the parents have to co-sign that crap in order for it to be perpetuated. I mean, my kids come up with that stuff every once in a while and we just laugh at them, like, cut it out, please. And the whole family gangs up. Yeah, they go, are you kidding? Are you kidding? And you know, but if a family went, really? I'm gonna have a talk with that teacher, then you're done. Then it's tough.
57:35
Adam
Well, yeah, you got that family. It says, they're just jealous.
57:38
Drew
Yeah.
57:39
Adam
It's like, yeah, jealous of your horrible penmanship and bad grammar. All right, let's keep on keeping on here, Drew. Allergic to condoms. Yeah, 87 minutes. Yeah. What do you say? Mary?
57:53
Caller
Yeah.
57:54
Adam
21?
57:55
Caller
Yep.
57:56
What's up, baby doll?
57:58
Caller
Hey, thank you guys for taking my call. I listen to you every single night. It's a great way to start my evening.
58:03
Adam
Thank you. You say start. Yeah. Do you work at third shift or something?
58:09
Caller
Yeah. I work nights.
58:12
Adam
What do you do? All night attorney?
58:15
Caller
No. I'm in the military.
58:18
Adam
On the military?
58:19
Caller
Yeah.
58:20
Adam
You don't hear about people in this man's army working all night.
58:25
Caller
Well, we got or I'm doing base security.
58:28
Caller
So.
58:29
Adam
Oh, I see. Are you an MP?
58:31
Caller
Yeah.
58:32
Caller
Hmm.
58:33
Drew
Good times.
58:34
Adam
Yeah. So you're just what base you you're looking at?
58:40
Caller
I can't say. I'm not supposed to be on my cell phone right now.
58:43
Adam
Oh, OK. You drive around in a jeep or you're on patrol?
58:47
Caller
Yeah, I'm on patrol.
58:49
Adam
Cool. Do you have one of those white helmets?
58:52
Caller
Oh, hell no.
58:53
Drew
Yeah, see, on your on your on your sleeve, give us arm bands as MP.
58:58
Caller
No, we have we have badges on our camis.
59:01
Adam
Nice. And then when you're done with that, you go into law enforcement, right?
59:06
Caller
Maybe.
59:07
Adam
All right.
59:09
Caller
Anyways, I have like I've been taking orthotri-cyclin for four months now.
59:16
Drew
And I think we just take a beat for a second. Just one second. I'm sorry to interrupt you. But this is irony strike me on multiple levels with this call. One is that that a group of military personnel who is highly structured lives need to be policed by people who eventually police criminals. That's kind of weird, isn't it?
59:37
Adam
Well, it's not all about policing their own, though. It's also about security around the base.
59:44
Caller
A lot of it is because like what patrol deals with is like we've got people from all walks of life in the military, I mean, like low income families. And is that interesting?
59:57
Drew
I think that is fascinating. A, never mind.
59:59
Adam
Well, wait a minute. Hold on, Drew. I don't I don't mean to cut you off at the A hole, but not I've always said that military people are basically, you know, this is your high school dropouts.
1:00:13
Drew
Yeah, but they're in a highly structured life. You know, they're they're they're held, you know, they're they're contained and they still be placed.
1:00:21
Caller
They still need a place that the high structure leaves a lot of stress in the home. We wouldn't believe how many domestics we have to deal with.
1:00:28
Drew
So, oh yeah, all right, so there you go.
1:00:32
Adam
I'm not surprised at all.
1:00:34
Drew
All right. And that this should be a young lady doing this.
1:00:38
Adam
That's interesting.
1:00:39
Drew
Interesting. And then number three, so about my birth control pill. Yeah. It's so, I mean, it's just ironic.
1:00:46
Adam
We're living in the 90s. You better, you better come to grips with that, buddy. Go ahead, Mary.
1:00:52
Drew
So, orthotricyclin.
1:00:54
Caller
I'm on orthotricyclin and I've been using the same type of condoms, probably, you know, for as long as I can remember. And I think the tricyclin is giving me an allergic reaction. The, like, it just, it kind of burns, like the spermicide burns and like the area can be inflamed after.
1:01:13
Drew
Okay, hold on. Why, if you're on birth control, are you using condoms?
1:01:18
Caller
Cause my husband and I really don't want to have a baby right now.
1:01:22
Drew
Wow. That's overkill.
1:01:23
Adam
Yeah, the military for that kind of thing.
1:01:25
Drew
I am not saying that people on birth control shouldn't use condoms because if they're having multiple partners or they're not a monogamous relationship, obviously that's a reason to use a condom. But if you're in a monogamous relationship, birth control pill and condom, that is overkill. Okay, but that being said, it's possible that the pill is causing some, what we call vaginal atrophy, that there may be a relative estrogen deficiency down there and that may be what the irritation is being caused by. So it really isn't an allergic reaction so much as just a dryness and irritation down there. Okay. All right, so you need to talk to your doctor about maybe something that can be done about that. And then, yeah.
1:02:03
Adam
Yeah, go ahead, finish off with her.
1:02:05
Drew
I'm just saying, and then maybe try some different kinds of condoms. I know you've been using the same one for a long time, but try something different.
1:02:11
Adam
Let me say this, Drew.
1:02:14
Drew
Say this, Adam.
1:02:15
Adam
I just stumbled on to something I think is going to be very profound and very heavy. So, Chris, you can take your headphones off. Because, you know, it's nothing worse than when you're laying out something that's super heavy and you're staring at your engineer and you look like you're at the aquarium and you're staring at a giant sea bass. Just giving you that look. I don't know even know what you are. You think the bass even knows what you are? Okay, here's my point.
1:02:43
Drew
I think the bass knows more than Chris does about you.
1:02:45
Adam
Are you ready? Are you ready? How dare you? Oh, wait a minute. That's an assault. Yeah, it's an attack on me. Are you ready to get heavy here? Is everyone ready to get heavy for a minute? Think about this. Think about it is 2005, right? Yeah. I say we can do whatever we want until 2020. And here's where I say this. Here's where I say this. Historically, maybe 215, but historically, you know, you hear about the 90s and hear about the 80s and hear about the 50s. I mean, think about the last century. You had like, well, the 20s, those are your, you got your roaring 20s and then you got your 30s. You hear about the big boom, industrial boom.
1:03:31
Drew
And then you hear about the aughts.
1:03:33
Adam
You don't hear about the teens. I mean, you don't hear about the aughts. You don't hear people going, oh man, the crazy tens.
1:03:43
Drew
You know what they say, though, at the turn of the century.
1:03:48
Adam
Yeah, I'm just, even then, you don't hear too much talk about it. You definitely hear a lot about, you hear a lot about 40s. Oh man, it was World War II. You hear a lot of 50s. Hey, it's the Sock Hop and all those groups you never heard of. Then you hear the 60s. It's like the Man and the Sitar and then the 70s. You hear about 80s, cocaine and Miami Five. You hear about everything. You never hear about, oh man, 1908, 1910. You just never hear about it. I don't think people really start paying attention in the first 15 to 20 years of the decade.
1:04:27
Drew
Well, more importantly, there's no aphorism with which to refer to it.
1:04:31
Adam
Yeah, you can't call it anything. That's the real thing. Like people go, hey buddy, we're not living in the 70s, but you can't do that. Hey buddy, we're not living in the 2005s.
1:04:42
Drew
The zeros.
1:04:43
Adam
We're not living in the zeros with the five at the end of it. Yeah, it doesn't work. Here's my point, have at it. We can all do as we please.
1:04:53
Drew
It's going under the radar. It's going under the radar.
1:04:56
Adam
We'll not be judged.
1:04:56
Drew
We'll never hear about it.
1:04:58
Adam
This is like one of those classes where you don't get a grade. You just get a pass. All we got to do is show up a couple of days. We'll be fine. So I'm saying now, you start, and I wonder if it'll be the same in this decade where it's like, I keep saying decade. What am I talking about?
1:05:16
Drew
What are you talking about?
1:05:17
Adam
No, I don't mean this decade. Yeah, I don't mean this decade. I mean a hundred years.
1:05:22
Drew
A century.
1:05:23
Adam
Brain fart. This century. Sorry. Yeah, in this century, I wonder if it'll be a lot of, I mean, it's weird. It's going to be weird now, but when a hundred years from now, is there still going to be just mostly people focusing on the 70s and the 80s? You know what I mean?
1:05:40
Drew
Yeah.
1:05:40
Adam
The 50s. It's just that turn thing. People don't remember that much. In 2005, it's like, anyone know anything that went on in 1905?
1:05:51
Drew
It's going to be about the 20th century.
1:05:54
Adam
All I'm saying is, you hear 40s, you hear 50s, you hear 70s, you don't hear 05s. Let's just do as we please. Let's burn this mother down. We'll not be judged. That's all I'm saying. Heavy, huh, man?
1:06:08
Drew
Oh, man. Dude, you are heavy.
1:06:10
Adam
That is some heavy ass. Marie?
1:06:13
Yeah.
1:06:14
Adam
You're 24?
1:06:16
Caller
That's right.
1:06:17
Adam
What's up, sweetness?
1:06:19
Caller
Okay. I've been going out with this guy for, since like November of 2004.
1:06:28
Adam
So, no one's going to remember that.
1:06:30
Caller
I know, right?
1:06:31
Adam
Yeah.
1:06:32
Caller
But I've been going out with him for, you know, I guess a few months or whatever, but he's been saying like, whenever we're like intimate or whatever, he'll say, well, you know, we're going to need to have sex or whatever because we'll be doing oral. And he'll say, I can't like orgasm from that. So I want us to have sex. So I was like, yeah. So I was like, OK, fine, whatever. But I want us to use condoms on, to use protection. And he's like, well, I can't orgasm if I have a condom on. And I'm like, OK. So I'm like, well, as long as I trusted him and everything. So I'm like, OK, fine. Just, you know, I'm not trying to get pregnant or anything. So just, you know, pull out when you have to.
1:07:20
Drew
No, pull out doesn't work. Pull out does not.
1:07:22
Adam
Well, let her finish the story.
1:07:24
Caller
No, you're right. I learned that the hard way, actually.
1:07:26
Drew
But even if he does pull out, it doesn't work. They have some emissions before they ejaculate that's very high in sperm. So he leaks a little bit beforehand. So even if he had pulled out prior to ejaculation, you should be using the morning after pill.
1:07:41
Caller
You're exactly right, Dr. because this is what happened. Yeah, this time he didn't even pull out. He just like stayed. And I was like, dude, what the hell did you do? So I did have to take the morning after.
1:07:55
Adam
And what did he say? I mean, he never pulled out, huh?
1:07:59
Caller
No, and I turned around and I'm looking like, what did you do? And he's like, oh, oops. And I'm like, oops, what the freak? You know, so.
1:08:08
Caller
Yeah, whoo, whoo.
1:08:10
Drew
Scared me there for a second.
1:08:11
Adam
No, I heard it. I'm cool. Yeah.
1:08:13
Caller
So I was, I mean, I was, I was saying also, so I was like, you know, well, what am I going to do? And because, you know, I was like, I'm not trying to be pregnant right now. I got a lot of stuff I'm trying to do. And I get to use.
1:08:24
Drew
Good for you. You take the morning after pill?
1:08:26
Caller
Yes, I did.
1:08:27
Drew
Good girl.
1:08:28
Caller
And it worked everything fine. It all worked out.
1:08:30
Drew
Well done.
1:08:32
Adam
Yeah.
1:08:33
Drew
Beautiful.
1:08:33
Hey.
1:08:35
Adam
Nice work. We salute and applaud you.
1:08:38
Caller
Thank you.
1:08:39
Adam
Actually, Drew applauds you while I salute you.
1:08:42
Caller
Thank you. Go ahead.
1:08:44
Drew
But your question.
1:08:45
Caller
Yes, my question is, is, you know, is he just like, kind of pull the wool over my eyes by saying that guys, you know, him in particular can't, you know, can't have an orgasm if he's wearing a condom? Like, can that really be true?
1:08:59
Drew
It can be true, but guys don't, there are some guys that don't like how a condom feels or it affects their ability to have an orgasm or more frequently it affects their ability to sustain an erection. And there's a very simple equation here. They don't wear a condom, they don't have sex. That's it, period. You're in control here. You are in control. So you set the standards. He's got to follow it or ain't nothing going to happen. That's it. Believe me, he will wear a condom.
1:09:23
Adam
Yeah. You know the one I haven't heard for a while, which was always just sort of stupid, like where they go like, it's like wearing a raincoat in a shower.
1:09:32
Drew
Yeah.
1:09:33
Adam
And that's one of those stupid dude-isms that seems to catch on. I mean, it's like, if I thought of that, I would have labeled it a good solid four and a half and then moved on.
1:09:43
Drew
But you know what, I think that came around like the late seventies and then we believed nonsensical aphorisms like crazy. We attached ourselves to them. Yeah, that's it. That's reality.
1:09:54
Adam
Yeah. Well, first off, it serves a purpose unlike wearing the raincoat in the shower. But from a sensation standpoint, it's a little better than that. But yeah, especially if you compare it to the alternative, which is usually not getting laid. That's what the alternative has to be. See, you ladies have to make the alternative to wearing a condom, not having sex without a condom, but not getting laid.
1:10:21
Drew
Right.
1:10:21
Adam
If that's the alternative, then it's a raincoat in the shower at any time.
1:10:26
Drew
It's a raincoat on.
1:10:28
Adam
That's right. Dog can't smell his own ass. You think it was the same dude who did that one?
1:10:37
Drew
Probably the same kind of dude.
1:10:40
Adam
My dog not only can smell his own ass, but can smell every dog's ass, including his own ass.
1:10:47
Drew
And at 10,000 times the intensity. Oh, I've got a video I was going to give you about dogs sniffing cancer.
1:10:54
Adam
Oh yeah, sure. Yeah, it's happening. Came on. I took my dog for a walk today and it was just, I had to drag it. It was like, it just wanted to sniff every, it can't stop smelling stuff. It's after, eventually I just dragged the dog on his back. Sparks coming out of it. Well, actually I wasn't walking. I had the leash hooked up to the bumper of my car, but I don't get over 15 miles an hour.
1:11:24
Drew
Mustn't that be a satisfying life to be able to just have these glorious experiences by sticking your nose into people's ass?
1:11:30
Adam
Yeah, it's just a nonstop sniffing. And then when the dog locks it, you know, the dog's got all four paws on deck and it's got the good lean going. And I got the two paws on terra firma and I got the lean going the opposite way. I'm lean, I'm at 45 degrees at this point. Like if the leash snaps, I'm going to break my pelvis. The dog only weighs 45 pounds, but the dog is leaning so hard.
1:11:59
Drew
I thought the dog was going to be trained before you got it.
1:12:01
Adam
Now, the dog is good. The dog does not do its business in the house and it doesn't chew anything up, but walking the dog is like trying to land a marlin on a, it's like pulling up a world class trophy fish every step of the way. It's like I need a fighting chair. I need to belt myself in and just start tugging. It's really, it's like you're having a tug of war with the dog. It's like a sled team go in the opposite direction. You really realize that four wheel drive works. Nice low center of gravity and all four paws on the ground. Dog just rooting, just pulling. Sniffs everything. Start sniffing my ass at a certain point.
1:12:51
Drew
Of course.
1:12:52
Adam
But it was awesome because we could really make time.
1:12:56
Drew
You just ran.
1:12:57
Adam
I just ran and the dog dog took its snout and wedged it between my cheeks and I ran home. It was awesome. Let the neighbors talk. That's what I said. We'll take a quick break. Drew out there in Corpus Christi or Fort Lauderdale.
1:13:13
Drew
San Antonio.
1:13:14
Adam
San Antonio. And we'll be right back after this.
1:13:18
Caller
Thank you for calling Loveline.
1:13:19
Caller
Your call will be answered in the order it seems interesting.
1:13:28
Caller
Loveline is brought to you by Playboy. It girl, bad girl, sexy girl. Paris Hilton is it. Front and center in the March Playboy featuring the 25 sexiest celebrities, our annual music poll, and Debbie Gibson all grown up. Playboy on newsstands now.
1:13:45
Caller
Loveline, Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:13:52
Adam
Yeah, it's Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew in San Antonio at our new affiliate.
1:14:00
Drew
Yeah.
1:14:00
Adam
God bless K-Rock out there. We will hop back to the phones.
1:14:07
Drew
Isn't that a nice song I'm hearing?
1:14:09
Adam
It does sound familiar, yes.
1:14:11
Drew
It seems like one we may have.
1:14:13
Adam
I think that's a lot like the one Chris was humming earlier in the evening.
1:14:18
Drew
Oh yeah, it did sound like this, huh?
1:14:20
Adam
Yeah, yeah, it's exactly like it. All right, let's get to the phones and talk to you while poor Kevin has been on hold for 94 minutes. Kevin?
1:14:32
Caller
Yeah.
1:14:32
Adam
21?
1:14:34
Caller
Yes sir.
1:14:35
Adam
What's up?
1:14:36
Caller
You know, on the phone, you can't hear the callers talking. Just, I don't know if you guys knew that or not.
1:14:42
Adam
No, I didn't know that. Well, maybe that's just because I don't take any calls. Oh yeah.
1:14:49
Drew
That could be.
1:14:50
Adam
I don't think you can hear them on the radio either. That's why you've been on hold for 94 minutes. Yeah. But, oh, so you can't hear any of the callers when you're on hold. You just hear us yapping.
1:15:03
Caller
Yeah, well, I heard the first two girls that you had, and then after that, there wasn't the last two or three people, you can't hear them at all.
1:15:09
Adam
I don't think, yeah, I don't think it normally works that way, but I think we've had some technical difficulties tonight, and we've tried changing some things around, so possibly that was the outcome of it.
1:15:19
Drew
This is Kevin, right?
1:15:20
Adam
Yeah, this is Kevin.
1:15:22
Drew
Kevin, are you, did you smoke a lot of pot at one time of your life?
1:15:25
Caller
Oh yeah. Yeah.
1:15:28
Drew
Yeah, are you, and you're off it now, huh?
1:15:30
Caller
Well yeah, that's actually kind of what my question was.
1:15:34
Drew
Adam, Adam?
1:15:35
Caller
Hmm?
1:15:36
Drew
It's not, I don't have a computer in front of me.
1:15:39
Adam
No, he doesn't.
1:15:39
Drew
I heard a couple words.
1:15:41
Adam
No, no.
1:15:41
Drew
I knew immediately this is a former, not an active current, but former pot smoker.
1:15:45
Adam
No, I told Drew during the break, he was not a current pot smoker.
1:15:50
Drew
No, he didn't. I heard him, I heard his thinking, I heard the quality of his voice, and I knew immediately what this was.
1:15:56
Adam
He's 21, he sounds like he's 51.
1:15:59
Drew
Yeah, but he's got the remnants of the pot laugh.
1:16:02
Adam
Yeah.
1:16:03
Drew
He's actually, there's actually a laugh coming through the pot laugh.
1:16:07
Adam
What's happening, Kevin?
1:16:09
Drew
You hear that? Do you see it? You hear that?
1:16:11
Adam
No, that just sounds like the pot laugh to me.
1:16:12
Drew
No, no, no, because there was enough volume there to actually be called a laugh.
1:16:16
Caller
Oh, that's true.
1:16:17
Drew
Pot laugh would be much more...
1:16:19
Caller
Well, that's true. That I'm getting through the pot laugh.
1:16:22
Drew
That's right. So what's that? So what's the question?
1:16:25
Caller
Well, my question is, I have a son now. He's a year and a half old, and I have him with this girl. And I was, you know, a few years ago, I was selling a lot of drugs and I was into a lot of stuff. And I went to jail for a while. And I'm out now and I'm working all the time and I'm getting my tattoos removed. And I'm really trying to, you know, get in school and go places in my life. And this girl is, I think that because now that I'm trying to be somewhat successful, that she's like totally not into me anymore. You know, and she says, well, I'm not living with her right now, but she says she wants to move in with me. You know, as we can take care of the kid, but she don't want to sleep with me. And I'm like, well, you know, that's not going to work. And not only that, she got, ever since she had my son, she got real fat. I can't get her, I can't get her to do anything.
1:17:16
Drew
But Kevin, you know how it is, when somebody is sort of not well emotionally, they cling on to and attach themselves to other people who are not well. It's just in the nature of things. And now that you've begun growing and healing, that leaves her feeling abandoned, that she's certainly not going to look at her own stuff and come along with you and grow, she instead would rather the relationship just kind of become distant and fall apart. And that's unfortunate, but that's what happens when people get into recovery and get well from their addictions, is the other people either come along for the ride and get better too, or they kind of drift off.
1:17:50
Adam
But, you know.
1:17:51
Caller
Well, see, the problem is I would like to be around my son and be an active part of his life, you know.
1:17:58
Drew
Yeah, but you can be an active part of his life without being in an active relationship with his mom. You can still have a cordial relationship with her and stay very active in his life, but just share time with her. Don't try to have a romantic relationship.
1:18:09
Adam
You guys aren't married, is that correct?
1:18:12
Caller
No, we're not married.
1:18:13
Adam
All right. Kevin is speaking like a true man when he says, she's fat and I don't like to look at her, but she's not moving in unless we can get it on.
1:18:27
Caller
Oh, yeah.
1:18:29
Adam
That's a guy, right? I mean, a chick wouldn't do that. A chick would be like, I'm not physically attracted to him, so if he moves in, we're not going to get it on. Think about that as a male. Male seems like she's really packed on the weight since she crapped out the kid and I'm turned off to her physically. But if she thinks she's moving in to my apartment without doubling down on the intercourse, forget it. Is that all you know about guys?
1:18:58
Drew
That's it. I swear to God. It's so funny, you know, for the...
1:19:02
Adam
He doesn't like her as a person. He doesn't like her physically, but she's still not moving in unless he can pork her four times a week.
1:19:11
Drew
You know, I swear to God, I've been doing all this stuff on the road.
1:19:13
Adam
Is there a female equivalent to that?
1:19:15
Drew
No, there isn't. That's the point. I've been learning more and more about the differences between men and women. I'm amazed. We did these masturbation diaries with this couple that sort of documented how they masturbate. And the girl was like, well, today, I'm feeling good about my body. And so I think maybe, maybe I'll get to it. I lit some candles and I'm planning to pour myself a glass of wine. And then later in the day, you see her going, ah, you know, I got stressed out by the kids, maybe tomorrow. And the dude is like, hey, I saw some TV, so I squeezed one off. I was driving in the car and I saw a girl in a bikini, so I squeezed one off. And it's so different.
1:19:47
Adam
Yeah. No, no. We're, I mean, we're right. They're wrong.
1:19:52
Drew
That's all.
1:19:53
Adam
Kevin?
1:19:54
Caller
Yes. All right.
1:19:55
Adam
Let me explain something. I'll just, you know, I'm no doctor. I'll just put it in layman's terms. You've made a lot of mistakes. And now you've seen the errors of your ways. You don't want to go back in the joint. And you're working hard to straighten your life out.
1:20:10
Drew
Enjoy.
1:20:10
Adam
Unfortunately, this chick is a remnant of the old Kevin, the one with the tat on the neck and the one who's dealing the drugs.
1:20:18
Right.
1:20:19
Adam
Now, let me just say something to everybody. This is why you can't have kids, because you changed, you moved on. Now you got the old chick and the link between the old Kevin and the new Kevin, her representing the old Kevin, you representing the new Kevin is the child. That's the bridge. And you have to walk back to the old Kevin all the time. If the kid's not there, you break clean and it's nothing but new Kevin time.
1:20:50
Drew
Yeah.
1:20:50
Caller
Yeah.
1:20:51
Drew
Right. Kevin, can we take a beat and give Adam a little kudo here? Do you have a tat on your neck?
1:20:57
Caller
No, I don't, but I have all of my arms and chest and back and stuff.
1:21:02
Adam
All right. That's the only place you don't have it.
1:21:05
Caller
Yeah.
1:21:05
Adam
Thanks. Thanks for the try though, Drew. Here's the point. You need to take care of your kid. And I agree with Drew. If this girl is well, first off, you break up with her. I guarantee she has another kid with another guy within 18 months.
1:21:20
Drew
Oh, absolutely.
1:21:22
Caller
Yeah.
1:21:23
Adam
I'm already seeing. Does she have any other kids?
1:21:26
Caller
No. No.
1:21:27
Adam
How old is she?
1:21:28
Caller
She's 19.
1:21:30
Adam
Oh, she's 19? Yeah. Give her 10 more minutes.
1:21:33
Drew
And the trauma survivor, all that weight she has.
1:21:36
Adam
I'm sure she... Does she know where her dad is?
1:21:41
Caller
Yeah, they don't get along or anything. Well, her dad's a big alcoholic and I think they've talked to each other for years.
1:21:47
Drew
But you gotta understand, she needs to be with the alcoholic unless she gets her codependency treated. The fact that you're in recovery, you're not using it anymore, that's no good for her.
1:21:55
Caller
Yeah, I do understand that.
1:21:57
Adam
And here's the problem, Kevin. As the mother of your child, and unfortunately more important than you, I'm just being upfront with you, in the life of your child, mother more important than father, you're gonna want somebody who ain't driving drunk.
1:22:14
Caller
Yeah.
1:22:15
Adam
And ain't hooking up with guys, and I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Uncle Fester who shows up in three years, who's an alcoholic and got himself a tat including the neck. You know what I'm saying?
1:22:30
Caller
Yeah.
1:22:31
Adam
You see that's what you gotta do now, you gotta protect your kid from her bad decision making. Yeah. And so.
1:22:38
Caller
That's the problem, that's what I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I don't know, implement her and my son into my life maybe, you know. And I mean I really, I mean I'm not in the position now, but maybe in like a year I would like to just have custody of him, you know. Right. But you know that's not gonna happen, you know.
1:22:54
Drew
Right.
1:22:55
Adam
No, no, but, well, look on the good news, she may just, you know, get so freaked out on heroin that eventually you can raise your child, but you know, that's a best case scenario. Here's the thing, you know, I mean that's the other thing too, she's 19, where the hell is she going in life? I mean what, you know, here's what I would love to happen, I would love for guys like Kevin to be able to break through to chicks like this, tell them they need to go to some al-anon, tell them, you know, on behalf of our child, forget about me and you. Let's work, let's work on being sane and let's work on having a good relationship for the kids' sake, you know what I mean?
1:23:38
Drew
Yeah.
1:23:39
Adam
Oh, the fact, the fact Drew, that these people can crank out kids, I know it just sounds so trite with the, oh you need a license to shoot deer or fish, but you don't, you know, I know that it's been said a thousand times, but we know this chick like the back of our hand.
1:23:57
Drew
Yep, I know it is.
1:23:58
Adam
Just 19, dad's an alcoholic, dad.
1:24:01
Drew
She's tatted up, overweight now, trauma survivor, driving out herself.
1:24:05
Adam
Right, dad did lots of abusing, drank some booze, and then he did some booze and abusing.
1:24:11
Drew
Boozing and abusing, yeah.
1:24:13
Adam
And then he hit the road.
1:24:15
Drew
He's rambling.
1:24:16
Adam
This mom is going to bring, and then Kevin will clean up, so she's not interested in Kevin anymore. But she'll bring a picture of the next boyfriend who comes over to sleep over.
1:24:28
Drew
Oh yeah, please. Please, oh yeah.
1:24:31
Adam
Yeah, yeah, it's going to be-
1:24:33
Drew
Abusing, abusing and abusing, rambling man.
1:24:36
Adam
Right, and as a society, not interested in that connection whatsoever.
1:24:41
Drew
No.
1:24:42
Adam
No interest. Zero, no interest. We have, listen everybody, we have something that's better than a crystal ball. It's actual science. It's easy to do. We can predict. It's not a, it's not a guy schnauzer who knows when an earthquake's going to hit Yuma. It's actual scientific data, easy to figure out. We know where she's heading. We can head her off at the pass.
1:25:08
Drew
Or not.
1:25:08
Adam
Pretty easy to do as a society. Not interested? No, no, just want to hear.
1:25:15
Drew
How dare you?
1:25:15
Adam
When you hear Bush spew out platitudes like no child left behind. Really? Okay. Well, I don't even know what that means. Do you know what that means?
1:25:30
Drew
No.
1:25:31
Adam
How come, does this guy's, you know, I don't mind Bush, but do you think he knows anything about any of this stuff?
1:25:41
Drew
Um, you know, I think he does, but I think he's.
1:25:44
Adam
Does he have to pretend like he doesn't know?
1:25:46
Drew
I think is that like the rest of me has to pretend like he doesn't know. Yes.
1:25:50
Adam
That's that's my question is like, are politicians that stupid and ill informed that they don't realize the kind of stuff we see every night and talk about every night and the easy fixes and changes or I shouldn't say easy, but the ways you could make effective change in this country. And don't talk about it intentionally or they just, or they just, they just keep in quiet.
1:26:16
Drew
They keep it quiet.
1:26:17
Adam
Okay.
1:26:19
Drew
I think it's just a more palatable thing to put it on the on the religious, the clergy. Right. I mean, that's something that people can understand. And if the clergy is in any way sophisticated, they'll send it back to mental health.
1:26:32
Adam
Right. All right. But although I did talk to Maxine Waters and she is clinically insane. She just, you know, you know, when you see crazy homeless people?
1:26:44
Drew
Yeah.
1:26:45
Adam
That's what she reminded me. You know, you know, when the crazy guy comes down the sidewalk, you just look in his eyes and go, oh my God, even a 5000 yard stare and you look down, you don't want to establish eye contact. He's going to stab you with his number two pencil in the neck. That's Maxine Waters over here representing. Where does she represent? California?
1:27:06
Drew
Somewhere in LA.
1:27:07
Adam
Yeah, she's excellent. She looks clearly, clinically insane. It's awesome.
1:27:11
Drew
Nice.
1:27:11
Adam
Doesn't know anything. It's awesome. Awesome.
1:27:14
Drew
All right.
1:27:15
Adam
We'll take ourselves a quick break. Be right back after this.
1:27:19
Hello. This is your radio.
1:27:21
Adam
Radio.
1:27:22
Caller
Loveline will be right back.
1:27:37
Adam
Yeah, you know who won the iPod Shuffle Drill?
1:27:42
Drew
Who?
1:27:43
Adam
Jaime Azcarraga.
1:27:45
Drew
Oh, wow, old Jaime.
1:27:47
Adam
The old Jaime, 26 from Los Angeles.
1:27:51
Drew
Speaking of the old Jaime, I'm gonna do a Hymen reconstruction tomorrow.
1:27:55
Adam
Are you? Yeah. You know, I've been wanting to get my B Hymen put back together for a while now.
1:28:01
Drew
And after I get the technique down tomorrow, as we say in medicine, it's see one, do one, teach one. So I'm gonna do one. So I'll be able to restore the B Hymen for you when I get home.
1:28:12
Adam
Mm-hmm. See one, do one, teach one. Really? That fast, huh?
1:28:17
Drew
Yeah. Listen, this stuff is nice. Many surgical procedures are pretty easy.
1:28:22
Adam
So yeah, and this one sounds almost like a Finnish carpentry gig more than it does an actual doctor's gig. It just seems like, you know, certain, you know, there's certain things where you involve opening people up and getting ribs spreaders and stuff. And then there's other things that almost just seem like you're working on a piece of furniture.
1:28:43
Drew
Right.
1:28:44
Adam
Yeah.
1:28:45
Drew
I'm so specialized. Yeah.
1:28:47
Adam
Who are you doing the Hymen reconstruction for? And what's the reason?
1:28:52
Drew
I will meet her in the morning and figure that all out. I talked to one today that had been through it for orgasmic incontinence and he got a Hymen reconstruction. The orgasmic incontinence repair worked. And then the Hymen, I was like, what? She was, oh yeah, I wasn't a virgin when I got married. So I want to give him my virginity. And I'm like, what? What? And I, yeah, I know. And men are just totally confused by this. Like what? What? I'm fine with, what do you, what, what?
1:29:19
Adam
Yeah.
1:29:19
Oh well.
1:29:20
Adam
He wants to, here's the, let me explain ladies, what's in it for us on the giving you our, you know, giving us your virginity. It's the part where you haven't been porked by countless guys before us that we're attracted to. Not the part where we pierce a membrane of skin that's in your vagina.
1:29:40
Drew
It's the territory issue. We don't like other people having been on our territory. That's it. That's the whole thing.
1:29:46
Adam
Yeah. You know what this is like? This is like, it's like you coming in 45th in a race, but the person saying we're, we got another ribbon. We're going to string across. You get to break it. Yeah. Oh yeah. Well, see a thousand people entered the marathon. You came in in the mid 800s, but don't worry. We're going to take another piece of ribbon and string it across for you. It's like, it doesn't feel that good. I want to come in first. No, no, we got another piece of ribbon.
1:30:17
Drew
And guys, by the way, guys, impulse for this, nobody on my territory thing has a biological heritage to it. The one is, you just want your genes to transmit. The other thing is if another guy's been there, you could get an STD and die. So there are reasons to, you know, these impulses, they're not necessarily good impulses anymore, but they're there. No, they have nothing to do with the membrane.
1:30:39
Adam
Yeah, well, what it is, these impulses are sort of vestiges of the past and they had a context or they made sense at a certain point. And it's the same thing when you start talking about, you know, gallbladders or tailbones or something, you know? I mean, these are things that still remain long after they're necessary.
1:30:59
Drew
Right, right.
1:31:01
Adam
And I would say physically, you know, there are many traits that many animals have. I mean, you know, physical things that their ancestors had that they needed because they didn't eat food that came out of a can, for instance. And this is one of those psychological, sociological vestiges that lingers on pretty much after its useful days have gone.
1:31:26
Drew
The problem is, it is so powerful, it still affects how men feel about things. But it's something you need to know if you're thinking about giving somebody your re-virgin.
1:31:35
Adam
Right.
1:31:36
Drew
Re-virgination, you're going to be a virginator. That doesn't mean anything to the guy.
1:31:40
Adam
No, but it is an interesting thing, like when you see, you know, your dog, your domesticated dog rubbing on the foots, you know, the footstool and somebody says, well, they put their scent on whatever. It's like, yeah, but there's no other dogs. You know, they're not living in a pack. There's nobody here but the maid and my wife, you know? Yeah, yeah, but they do it anyway.
1:32:04
Caller
Right.
1:32:04
Adam
That's how we all are, right?
1:32:06
Caller
Right, right.
1:32:07
Drew
Thank you.
1:32:08
Adam
Oh, sad, isn't it?
1:32:10
Drew
Yes, in a way.
1:32:10
Adam
Wouldn't it be nice just to get rid of this stuff when we haven't needed it for 100 years?
1:32:15
Drew
Speaking of these impulses, they have this thing here called the River Walk. It's just this line of old buildings along a sort of a manmade river. I thought to myself, and it's spectacular. And I think to myself, what is it about being around water that just makes everything better?

Yeah, I don't know, but there's something, I hate to sound corny and feng shui, but it's got to be that womb. It's got to be you floating in that tub of salt water for around nine months that just brings you back to the ocean all the time. It's just so attractive in a weird, visceral level. All right, Drew, well, we successfully taking no call.
1:32:55
Drew
That's it? We can't take one?
1:32:57
Adam
No, but we got heavy, I'll tell you that.
1:32:59
Drew
That's a very heavy show tonight, very heavy.
1:33:00
Adam
You got damn right, we got heavy. Julie?
1:33:03
Yes, hi.
1:33:04
Adam
Julie's been on hold for 93 minutes.
1:33:06
Drew
Adam, how dare you let that happen?
1:33:08
Adam
I can't help it, I had to get heavy. Now we're out of time. Boyfriend's dad is marrying her mom. Oh, she's still dating boyfriend wrong. Listen, you're out of the house, right?
1:33:20
Yeah.
1:33:21
Adam
All right. Weird, but you're out of the house.
1:33:24
Yeah.
1:33:24
Drew
The weird part is going to be when your relationship doesn't work out. That's when the weirdness will ensue.
1:33:29
Adam
Right. All right. We'll take ourselves a little break. We'll be right back. Well, that's the show, everybody.
1:33:57
Drew
Not just any show, but a heavy show.
1:33:59
Adam
Yeah. We did get heavy tonight. Heavy. Heavy. Full moon heavy. Sunday night heavy.
1:34:05
Drew
Little boxy talk. What?
1:34:07
Adam
Yeah. You'll be in town tomorrow night?
1:34:10
Drew
Yes, I will.
1:34:11
Adam
All right. Just for fun, even if you come in, why don't we set you up in like the entry hall?
1:34:16
Drew
Just in just another studio, doesn't that be the hall? Just, you know, even the studio where I can see you. It'd be all right.
1:34:20
Adam
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do that. We can wave.
1:34:23
Drew
All right.
1:34:24
Adam
All right. We'll take a little extendo break and until next time, this is Adam Crawford, Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
