Adam
With Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Hey, everybody, 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, Diction Medicine Specialist. Tonight, our guest, Genevieve Gorder. Genevieve is the host of Town Hall, which is on TLC, 10 o'clock Saturday night. They've been pumping the bejesus out of this show. I mean...
10:15
Genevieve Gorder
Oh, you've noticed?
10:16
Adam
Yeah, I noticed you hanging on a big paint can. I've seen advertisements in magazines. I've seen them advertise on not only TLC, but other like-minded networks. It's been a big push. Genevieve, you know, from Trading Spaces... Oh, where do we start? I'm a big home improvement guy myself.
10:38
Genevieve Gorder
Are you?
10:38
Adam
Yeah, that's my thing. You know anything about building?
10:42
Genevieve Gorder
Yes.
10:42
Adam
You do?
10:43
Genevieve Gorder
Yes, I do.
10:43
Adam
You do? I got to warn you. Ty Pennington came in here and said he knew something about building. He knew something about bongs.
10:51
Genevieve Gorder
Well, I know Ty Pennington very well.
10:54
Adam
He doesn't know anything about building.
10:56
Genevieve Gorder
I know about building.
10:57
Adam
He doesn't.
10:58
Thank you.
10:59
Adam
Let me explain something.
11:00
Genevieve Gorder
I've grown up doing this stuff.
11:01
You do?
11:03
Adam
You want to stump me?
11:04
Drew
Try to stump him, please.
11:05
Try to stump him with anything.
11:07
Genevieve Gorder
With home improvement, anything?
11:10
Adam
Building, home improvement, doesn't matter.
11:12
Genevieve Gorder
Let me see.
11:13
Adam
Well, you can think about it for a minute.
11:14
Drew
Cleaning, air conditioning, electric.
11:16
Genevieve Gorder
Give me a second.
11:17
Adam
You can think about it. We'll talk amongst ourselves. I don't want to put pressure on you. I don't want to get you.
11:21
Genevieve Gorder
No pressure felt.
11:23
Adam
On the defense. You seem nice, unlike that Benedict Arnold.
11:27
Drew
Ty?
11:28
Ty Pennington.
11:29
Genevieve Gorder
Was he on the defense while he was here?
11:31
Adam
No, he was fine. He just doesn't know anything about building.
11:34
Genevieve Gorder
He's a carpenter.
11:34
Adam
He's not a carpenter.
11:36
Genevieve Gorder
He can build furniture.
11:38
Adam
That's not a... Okay. Look, I know he sounds like a pain in the ass, but Drew's the same way with the imposters that are on TV.
11:43
Drew
The doctor imposters.
11:44
Adam
Everybody's supposed to be something. They're not.
11:47
Genevieve Gorder
That's why I started my own show.
11:48
Adam
Ty Pennington looks good with his shirt off. He's not a carpenter. He might be good at whittling a chair or something, but he doesn't know what layout is for framing. He doesn't know about treated bottom plates and header stock. He doesn't know any of that stuff. He doesn't... You can't be a carpenter without knowing the codes. Yes?
12:06
Genevieve Gorder
Well, carpenters and builders are different professions.
12:08
Adam
Well, well, look, carp, carp, first off, yeah, carpentry means you can build a house. You do finish. In my estimation.
12:17
Genevieve Gorder
Carpenters for me is more like finishes.
12:19
Adam
Not put glitter on a hobby horse. Thank you.
12:25
Genevieve Gorder
I was fed up with people who aren't really what they serve.
12:29
Drew
Imposters.
12:30
Genevieve Gorder
Imposters.
12:31
Drew
The people who pretend to be design.
12:32
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, because it gives design a bad name. And that was very frustrating. It doesn't give me a lot of credibility being in the company of those guys, impostering me there.
12:42
Adam
Give us a little background on yourself, Genevieve. How'd you get involved with Trading Spaces, which I'm guessing was your big break?
12:49
Genevieve Gorder
I guess it was. I was a designer since I was 19. I'm as working as one. I was working at MTV probably around the same time you guys were for a while.
12:58
Adam
Probably making the same amount.
12:59
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, about $2 a day.
13:00
She was an intern.
13:01
Adam
We had our unsuccessful show.
13:04
Same money.
13:05
Genevieve Gorder
Cheap bastards.
13:05
Adam
We got a rain slicker out of it though, I think.
13:08
Drew
Yeah, we did actually.
13:09
Yeah.
13:10
Adam
They were great though around Christmas time. You get like one slipper. It was awesome.
13:14
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, but you get to go to the party. And that was the payoff.
13:17
Drew
No.
13:18
Genevieve Gorder
That's what they said.
13:19
It was for the party?
13:20
Drew
We were produced by somebody else. It was our producers who put the party on.
13:23
Adam
Even that was a tough ticket too.
13:24
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, they weren't that great.
13:26
Drew
Oh, let's have a brief sidebar here for a second. We of course would get to go to the MTV Music Awards and stuff. But the tickets were so crappy.
13:34
Genevieve Gorder
Were you seat fillers?
13:35
Drew
That people would go, No, those were good seats. They go, what are you guys doing up here? You're doing some kind of a stunt where you run down to the stage and deliver. Right. You're like, what?
13:44
Yeah.
13:44
Genevieve Gorder
Good place to work when you're 19, a little older than that and it doesn't work.
13:49
Adam
No.
13:49
Genevieve Gorder
It's too cheap.
13:50
No.
13:50
Adam
But so you started MTV.
13:52
Genevieve Gorder
I started, I was actually, I grew up restoring old Victorians with my family in Minneapolis, where I'm from. So we would do them from the ground up. We didn't build them, of course, because they were built a long time ago, but restorative stuff was something I was doing when I was five.
14:05
Wow.
14:05
Adam
I love your dad, a picturing him like Merlin Olsen from Little House on the Prairie.
14:10
Genevieve Gorder
I wish he was.
14:11
Adam
Bearded husky, strong hands.
14:15
Genevieve Gorder
He was a good Norwegian man.
14:16
Yeah.
14:17
Adam
What did he do? Was that what he did for a living?
14:19
Genevieve Gorder
No. My dad was, my dad really was one of those guys who was, thought they were too smart, that they shouldn't ever hold a job for too long. You know that kind of guy? Yes.
14:29
Drew
We talk about those guys all the time.
14:31
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah. They can go to school.
14:32
Drew
Well, they are very smart. They're brilliant.
14:35
Genevieve Gorder
They can ace a test and never go to the class. But they think they're too good for school because they can do that.
14:39
Drew
They're entitled to things coming to them automatically because they need work because they're so smart.
14:44
Genevieve Gorder
That's my papa.
14:45
Adam
End up sort of becoming a little bit blowhard.
14:49
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah. That's my dad.
14:50
Adam
Yeah.
14:51
Drew
Always way left of center, too.
14:52
I got to say this thing.
14:53
Genevieve Gorder
But hilarious.
14:55
Adam
Way left of center. A lot of talk about how great Canada is.
14:58
Here's the thing.
14:59
Adam
I got to say this to everybody.
15:00
Genevieve Gorder
I'm married and a Canadian, so watch out.
15:02
Adam
No. I don't have any problem with Canada, but it's not the world's greatest country.
15:06
Drew
The way your dad would think it was.
15:07
Yeah.
15:08
Adam
They have health care for everybody.
15:09
Genevieve Gorder
I could have been a socialist easily.
15:10
Yeah.
15:11
Adam
Here's the whole thing with all you so-called pseudo intellectuals over there. Think you're too cool for school, too smart for the room. Here's the thing. You can't figure out how to make money, and if you could, that would make you smart, but you can't. You can't be a genius and can't figure out a way to make a living. You can't be both. Because here's the thing. Just hold on a second. What if we just forget about this planet? Let's just say we're on another planet, the Sneetches, Drew. Let's say we're out with the Sneetches, and the Sneetches have this stuff called the Globos. And Globo isn't good for anything, but it can get you everything. It can get you cars, it can get you transportation, it can get you vacation, get you security, roofs over your head, bowling alleys in your house, it gets you education, it gets you everything. It's Globo. It gets you everything. Now you're a genius of Sneetchville, but you can't figure out how to get a chunk of Globo. I'm still a genius?
16:04
Drew
Now that you're not willing to work to get the chunk of Globo.
16:07
Adam
Because Globo is no good.
16:09
Drew
Globo belongs to everybody else.
16:10
Adam
You're not me.
16:11
Drew
I'm too genius.
16:11
Adam
I would argue that the ultimate genius is the guy who figures out a way to collect the most Globo.
16:17
Genevieve Gorder
But there's a genius of many sorts. I mean like Prince.
16:20
Adam
Yeah, your dad's a great guy.
16:21
Genevieve Gorder
Prince, great musician, genius. Can he cook me a good meal? Probably not.
16:25
Adam
No, but he's figuring out how to collect the Globo.
16:28
Genevieve Gorder
But aren't geniuses really underdeveloped in every other category except for the ones that they're genius at usually?
16:34
Adam
They're usually, they socially have different.
16:36
Drew
Now you're talking about autism or Asperger's or something, which is true. That does happen that way, but it doesn't have to happen.
16:41
Adam
All right, let's keep going. Let's get off the ground.
16:44
Drew
Let's go take some calls.
16:45
Adam
Take some calls.
16:46
Drew
I want to break it down.
16:46
Adam
I want to find what's going on with Genevieve.
16:49
Genevieve Gorder
So I'll wrap it up really quick.
16:50
Adam
MTV. Now, how did you get on to TLC? And my God, this home improvement stuff is going through the roof now, Dr. Drew, where was everyone 10 years ago when I was screaming about this?
16:58
Drew
When you declared that it was the thing of the future.
17:00
Genevieve Gorder
We're waking up. We're waking up. America is waking up to design, which is good. Actually, I was in MTV as a... I worked there all through college. I went to the School of Visual Arts in New York City to study design. And then I left for Europe for a while, came back to New York, was working at another studio.
17:14
Drew
Did you study design in Europe?
17:15
Genevieve Gorder
Yes. I worked in Barcelona and Amsterdam for a long time and then came back and I designed the Tinker A10 bottle. It's gin. I don't drink it, but I designed it that year. This is something graphic designers would know, but anybody else could care less.
17:30
Adam
Yeah. Well, I like my Tinker A gin.
17:32
Genevieve Gorder
Well, that's the year that Trading Spaces was looking for designers and it won an award. So they wanted designers from every facet of design. So they chose me and I was like, no way, you know, no way. Interior design is for really wealthy people. It's for ladies on Park Avenue who have nothing to do. And it's designing women, you know, sitting around drinking mint juleps and talking about nothing important.
17:53
Adam
I agree. Let's take some calls.
17:56
Genevieve Gorder
Thanks for your interest.
17:57
Adam
No, I see.
17:57
No, yeah.
17:58
Adam
But but you said no, it's for the masses. Well, it's for the people.
18:02
Genevieve Gorder
Well, that's what changing rooms and trading spaces is. And thus the design extravagance on television today.
18:10
All right.
18:10
Adam
Now, have you have you can you stump me, by the way? Have you thought of any any any stump?
18:14
Genevieve Gorder
Do you know what a chase is?
18:17
Adam
Yeah, I do know what a what a chase is.
18:20
What?
18:21
Adam
Chase is where you would run. Well, I would call a chase what it was inside of a soffit, essentially, like if you're running wires, speaker wires or something like that. That's a weird little stumper. I had to think about it for a minute. You would build a soffit, let's say, if you had to run around a chase.
18:42
Drew
Chase is like something that runs wires.
18:43
Adam
Chase is like an empty area that you could run, that you could pull wires or pull venting or something like that. Chase, what else you got?
18:54
Drew
Ask him how to hang a door or how to create heating floors.
18:56
He doesn't know that stuff.
18:57
Genevieve Gorder
I guess I do. You haven't watched Town Hall, obviously.
18:59
Drew
How to hang a door.
19:00
Adam
Well, they cook that stuff, come on. You want to talk door hanging?
19:05
Genevieve Gorder
That's another show.
19:06
Adam
What do you want? Boring bit.
19:08
Yeah, yeah.
19:10
Adam
What size hinge is exterior?
19:13
Genevieve Gorder
What size, I don't know. You got me.
19:16
Adam
You don't know the exterior hinges on a door versus interior? You know what NRP hinges are? No. You know why you use NRP hinges?
19:24
Genevieve Gorder
Why?
19:25
Adam
NRP is non-removable pins. If you have doors, you have French doors that swing out, the pin knuckles on the outside, they'll knock the hinge pins out, take the door off.
19:33
Genevieve Gorder
So why are you sitting in a radio studio?
19:35
Adam
I don't know what I'm doing here. But don't tell me you know about doors.
19:39
How dare you?
19:40
Genevieve Gorder
I know about finishing doors.
19:42
Adam
All right.
19:43
Genevieve Gorder
Listen, at least I'm a designer.
19:45
Adam
Yeah, you're a designer. You're not Ty Pennington who comes in here claiming to be a carpenter.
19:49
Genevieve Gorder
I know a lot about building, but I'm not a builder.
19:51
Adam
All right.
19:52
Drew
Drew, I know nothing about any of that stuff.
19:55
Adam
That's right. You're like you're like Sergeant Schultz.
19:58
Genevieve Gorder
At least we're all honest in this room.
19:59
Adam
No, listen, I don't mean to get on you. You're you're a designer.
20:03
Genevieve Gorder
That's what I am.
20:03
Adam
Yeah, that's right.
20:04
Drew
You mean you're vivacious.
20:05
Genevieve Gorder
You want to you want to take me on design. Go for it.
20:08
Adam
All right. I don't know how you describe that, though. How do you describe that?
20:11
Drew
How do you take it on? Yeah. How would you ask a design question?
20:13
Genevieve Gorder
How do you challenge? It's the same thing as building. If you want to challenge me on anything, finishes or texture or lighting.
20:19
Adam
But how do you how do you how do you verbalize it? You know what I mean? Design.
20:22
Genevieve Gorder
I can't tell you what the question is.
20:24
Adam
But if you were going to ask somebody, how would you make a competition if you were going to verbalize?
20:26
Drew
If you were going to stump somebody, what would you ask them?
20:29
Genevieve Gorder
If I were to sum something about design, I could do design history, which is always something really good. I mean, it's just about as interesting as hanging a door. But, or I could, you know, ask about...
20:41
Adam
But knowing more about design history doesn't make you a better designer.
20:44
Genevieve Gorder
No, the more you know, the better you are at anything.
20:46
Adam
No.
20:47
Genevieve Gorder
Yes.
20:47
Adam
No, all the idiots I work with know more about sports than any guy in professional sports doesn't make them a better ballplayer. Thank you.
20:54
Genevieve Gorder
Well, it's not a better ballplayer. I'm not a better chef because I know more about design, but I'm better at design if I know more about it. If I know more about the world, I'm better at whatever I do.
21:07
Drew
I actually agree with her on that.
21:08
Adam
No, it helps, but tell that to everyone in my office.
21:11
Drew
It knows everything about every sporting event. For a skill that is not exclusively a brain skill, it doesn't apply.
21:19
Adam
All I'm saying to Genevieve is how do you have a design competition verbally?
21:23
Drew
I'm curious. How would you stop somebody on a design question?
21:29
Genevieve Gorder
How do you do this? How do you put on a Venetian plaster finish?
21:33
How do you do this?
21:34
Adam
With a smooth metal trowel.
21:36
Genevieve Gorder
I mean, it's really an interesting conversation, but if you want to challenge me on anything, you can go for it.
21:42
Drew
I'm a person fascinated.
21:43
Adam
I got to think designing, though. I told you how to put on the Venetian plaster, didn't I?
21:48
Genevieve Gorder
No, you didn't.
21:49
Adam
You put on the metal trowel.
21:50
Genevieve Gorder
Well, that's how you apply it, yes.
21:52
Adam
Yeah, and then you rub it down with the metal trowel.
21:54
Genevieve Gorder
You apply it with the metal trowel, and then if you want to add dye, you have to mix that in before you do that, and then you put it on the trowel, smooth it out, wax it, polish that, get the right finish, blah, blah, blah.
22:03
Adam
All right, I give it a trowel finish myself.
22:05
Drew
She's the color person, don't forget. She has it colored everything.
22:08
Adam
All right, Andrea.
22:09
Yes. Yes.
22:12
Adam
What's up?
22:14
Well, I've never had a relationship longer than three weeks, since I think I was in eighth grade in my last, like, long relationship, but...
22:23
Drew
Anything you want to tell us about your upbringing that might have led to that problem? In fact...
22:30
Adam
Drew, please.
22:30
Drew
I didn't say that.
22:31
Adam
Please.
22:32
Drew
By the way, people think, really believe I say those things.
22:35
Adam
I know, that's why it's funny.
22:38
Drew
Well...
22:38
Adam
Amanda? Yeah, I mean, Andrea?
22:40
No, I wasn't molested, but...
22:43
Drew
Were you neglected, abandoned?
22:44
I didn't have a father.
22:46
Drew
Okay.
22:46
I mean, I did it when I was seven, and then he let my mom...
22:49
Drew
Right. So, that's abandonment. Abandonment is the thing that you then act out in this relationship, which...
22:54
Adam
He left at seven. Sorry for cutting you off. I think worse than not having a dad. I really do.
22:59
Drew
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, because you're attached to him, and then he vanishes. And so now you have this unfinished business. And certainly your brain now is attracted to people that are like your dad, because that's who you love and wish were back in your life. And guess what? Somebody that's like your dad is somebody who's abandoning. Somebody who's going to leave you. And if you're with somebody who's real, who's actually available for relationship, but by the way, what you find was not like your dad, you couldn't tolerate that. So you'd sabotage that and you'd take off.
23:24
Adam
When your dad took off, he never came back?
23:27
Well, no, he just left.
23:30
Adam
And you never saw him again?
23:33
I seen him at a funeral, like maybe a couple years later.
23:37
Drew
He sounds like just a delightful gentleman.
23:40
Genevieve Gorder
What do you remember about your dad? What were some of the qualities, the good things?
23:46
I don't, I mean, I don't really remember that much stuff. Just watching, I don't know, just hanging out with him. I don't know. I don't really remember. I was seven.
23:59
Adam
You remember stuff when you're seven, when you were twenty-two especially.
24:02
Drew
You do remember. Go ahead.
24:04
Just, I guess, just, you know, fun stuff, I guess, watching TV and hanging out with him.
24:09
Adam
Drew, what are you getting at?
24:10
Drew
Well, what I'm getting at is A, she's avoiding the feelings associated with what Genevieve's question is, which is a perfect question. And secondly-
24:16
Adam
That was a good question, Genevieve. I know we got off to a happy start, but that was a strong question.
24:20
Drew
And that what she remembers is being with him. What she misses is being with him. And that's what you're going to make sure that you don't get in your relationship is being with somebody.
24:31
Adam
All right.
24:32
Drew
You don't get anybody, you get three weeks and that's it.
24:34
Adam
Andrea.
24:34
But how can I get over that though?
24:36
Yeah, you can get a little therapy.
24:38
Adam
And then start chipping away. I mean, have a four-week relationship, have a five-week relationship and get a little better.
24:45
Drew
Don't go for guys that remind you of dad or that you're super attracted to your attractions are going to be distorted. Yes. Don't trust your attractions.
24:51
Genevieve Gorder
Andrea, my dad left when I was 13 and I had the same problem for quite a while. And you look for all of those good things that you remember about your dad, whether he was really funny, or he was really smart, or if he drank a lot, whatever. Some of these qualities tend to show up in the boyfriends that you keep afterwards.
25:08
Adam
We get to drink a lot.
25:09
Genevieve Gorder
And then they leave.
25:10
I've had a lot of those.
25:12
Genevieve Gorder
But you have to go for... Unfortunately, you have to stop looking for the bad guy and start looking for the good guy.
25:18
Adam
Did dad come back or did you just go off to Canada to blow hard?
25:22
Genevieve Gorder
My dad?
25:22
Drew
Moulsonville.
25:23
Genevieve Gorder
Dad didn't come back.
25:24
Oh, really?
25:25
Adam
Now you're a big TV star though and he wants back in your life, right?
25:28
Genevieve Gorder
He's called.
25:29
Drew
Santa Lopez in 15 years.
25:30
Wow.
25:31
Drew
Let's bash him.
25:32
Wow.
25:32
Drew
He deserves a little bashing here. Yeah.
25:34
Adam
Well, here's the thing. Look, far be it from us and I bash my own family. Frankly, I'm so tired after bashing my own family every night. I really don't have energy for others. But I really do want to tell people it's okay to say that people did things that are wrong and hold them accountable for it. People do a lot of apologizing like, well, it was a difficult time or you don't know how you would have reacted. No, that was wrong. And I'm not saying, and Drew and I have discussed this many times, I believe it makes you a bad person if you do bad things. People are like, he's not a bad guy, but he killed his wife. I'm going to just go ahead and call that a bad guy. That's me. Yeah. And if you do bad things, you're a bad guy until proven otherwise. You can redeem yourself. You could go to Nicaragua and feed the hungry for 20 years and maybe get out of the bad guy category. But as far as you go, he's a bad guy. What he did was wrong.
26:34
Drew
Now it's possible that he was in his disease of alcoholism. And is he in recovery now?
26:38
Genevieve Gorder
I don't think so, because I think one of the first steps is really contacting.
26:41
Drew
Let's bash him. Yeah.
26:42
Genevieve Gorder
But that's what I'm thinking.
26:44
Drew
He's not responsible for his disease, but he is responsible for his recovery.
26:47
Genevieve Gorder
Absolutely.
26:47
Drew
And that's that.
26:49
Adam
That's heavy, Drew. All right.
26:50
Genevieve Gorder
But Andrea, there's hope.
26:51
Adam
There is. There is.
26:52
Genevieve Gorder
It takes time. You got to look for the good guys.
26:54
Drew
Well, why don't we ask Andrea if her dad was an alcoholic, too? Because she doesn't know. Yes, she does.
26:59
Adam
She's going to defend him. Andrea?
27:02
Drew
Yes.
27:02
Adam
Was your dad an alcoholic?
27:04
Drew
Yes.
27:05
Adam
I told you.
27:05
Drew
Yeah. Okay, so there are programs.
27:07
Adam
You got a sick sense about these things.
27:09
Drew
If you want to change internally what goes on with you, there's a free program called Al-Anon. You can go there, get a sponsor, work the steps, and you will magically be attracted to a different kind of person.
27:18
All right.
27:19
Drew
Right?
27:19
Laura?
27:20
Drew
That's true.
27:21
Adam
You're 21?
27:22
Drew
Yes.
27:23
What's up?
27:24
I am 21 and my boyfriend lives in Phoenix.
27:28
Adam
EE.
27:29
Drew
What's up? What do you mean? It's affectation.
27:33
Adam
Something's going on. I think she's just trying to be quiet.
27:36
Yeah.
27:37
Adam
Is there somebody else in the house?
27:38
Yeah.
27:39
I can go.
27:39
Sorry. Hang on.
27:41
Adam
You don't have to go anywhere. Just go ahead. Drew was getting that breathy Marilyn Monroe thing. I was getting like, stepdad's son logs in the other room.
27:49
What dad?
27:49
Adam
Homanary disease.
27:50
What dad?
27:51
Adam
I told you dad deserves.
27:53
I'm talking to somebody.
27:54
It's like one o'clock.
27:55
I gotta go down third.
27:56
Drew
No, no, no.
28:01
Drew
I think it is.
28:03
No.
28:05
It's not.
28:06
Drew
You can't even imagine who it is. You want to put him on the phone with us?
28:10
Genevieve Gorder
Put your dad on the phone.
28:11
Adam
Dad thinks it's Lycus.
28:14
No, dad. It's Loveline. They can't play a song for your dad.
28:20
Genevieve Gorder
I thought someone was in trouble for him over there.
28:23
All right.
28:24
Drew
That sounds like a delightful gentleman. Another delightful dad. This is a delightful dad night.
28:28
Adam
Well, I want to know who he thought she was talking to.
28:31
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, I think that's what we're going to hear about right now.
28:33
Adam
Yeah.
28:34
Yeah, he thought I was talking to my boyfriend.
28:36
Adam
All right.
28:36
Drew
Where's my husband?
28:37
Adam
Your dad sounds like a fan of your boyfriend.
28:40
No, he caught me talking to my other boyfriend years ago, at like two in the morning, and he was harassing him.
28:47
Drew
Hey, Laura.
28:48
Yeah.
28:48
Drew
One quick question.
28:50
OK.
28:50
Drew
21, right? You're 21?
28:51
Caller
Yeah.
28:52
Drew
What the hell are you doing at home?
28:54
Caller
Actually, I'm moving away from home.
28:56
Drew
Is this Chris?
28:57
Caller
But come the middle of May, I'm going to be moving back home.
29:02
Drew
Wait. I couldn't track that.
29:03
Adam
I don't care. What's your question? Oh, engineer Chris?
29:06
Drew
Engineer Chris.
29:08
Adam
At 21, he was still in his mom's womb.
29:10
Caller
Are you kidding?
29:11
Drew
He was called back in. What are you talking about?
29:13
Adam
Crawl back in. Yeah, he stayed there.
29:14
Drew
He was just emerging recently.
29:16
Adam
No, he wasn't even born at 21 years. He was born at like 23 and a half.
29:21
Caller
All right. Go ahead, Laura.
29:22
Caller
Yeah. Sorry. I'm home painting a room and bookshelf and whatnot with my dad.
29:27
Drew
That explains everything.
29:28
Adam
You can do it.
29:29
Drew
What color are you painting it?
29:30
Caller
The room is actually like a lilac and the bookshelf that's built into the wall is like a berry color.
29:36
Genevieve Gorder
Whose room is this? Why are you painting a room in a house you're not going to live in?
29:39
Caller
I'm going to be coming back home in May, but this is my old bedroom. It's getting turned into a guest room.
29:44
Genevieve Gorder
Okay, got it. So what's going on?
29:47
Caller
I am actually, my boyfriend is 20. I'm going to actually be 22 in like just under a month. Like I think it's one day under a month. And I was thinking of-
29:58
Adam
Who cares?
29:58
Caller
Keep going, would you?
30:00
Adam
Like none of us-
30:01
Drew
Strange detail there.
30:02
Adam
Boy, I wish, Drew, I was 22 18 years and four days ago.
30:08
Genevieve Gorder
Don't pay attention to them. I'm listening.
30:11
Adam
Jesus Christ.
30:12
Drew
Keep going.
30:12
Adam
You must be good lucky.
30:13
Caller
I'm cohabitating with my boyfriend, but he's in, well technically he's in Prescott, Arizona.
30:19
Genevieve Gorder
They're living together.
30:21
Drew
But he's in Arizona and you're in Pennsylvania?
30:22
Genevieve Gorder
Yes. How does that work?
30:25
Caller
Very difficultly and a lot of money on planes.
30:31
Genevieve Gorder
Okay, so you're not cohabitating, you're just visiting each other across the country.
30:34
Caller
Yes, but I'm considering cohabitating with him come August.
30:37
Drew
You're considering?
30:38
Genevieve Gorder
Okay.
30:39
Drew
And how's the relationship going?
30:41
Caller
It's going great. We're at eight months and we were friends for a year before we got interested in each other romantically.
30:49
Drew
How much time have you actually spent together? How many days face to face have you spent in the last eight months?
30:56
Caller
Easily, easily over a month, probably near two months. Because every time I go down to visit him, I visit for a week.
31:02
Drew
All right, okay. That's working. What does he do for a living? Right now, he is 22, he's 22, you guys.
31:11
Caller
I'm going to be 22, he's 20.
31:13
Drew
Oh no, she's one day and a month away.
31:15
Caller
He is going to school to be a pilot right now.
31:18
Genevieve Gorder
Okay.
31:19
Drew
That doesn't qualify for the right now comment.
31:21
Adam
No, it doesn't. What do you mean? What kind of pilot? Commercial pilot?
31:27
Caller
Yeah.
31:28
Adam
In Pennsylvania? No, he's in Arizona.
31:31
Drew
His parents are paying for him to fly a Cessna.
31:34
Caller
Actually, he's passed the Cessna, thankfully.
31:37
Drew
But somebody is paying for him as a hobby to go fly planes.
31:40
Caller
No, not a hobby.
31:41
Caller
He's gone to school for that.
31:42
Adam
He's gone to fly to school.
31:43
Drew
Okay.
31:43
Adam
All right. Cool.
31:44
Drew
You wouldn't say right now to that. You go, he's going to be a pilot.
31:47
Adam
Yeah.
31:48
Drew
Be more definitive about that.
31:49
Adam
All right, Laura. All right. We give you our blessing. Just because we hate your dad, we like to see you out of the house.
31:56
Genevieve Gorder
What are you scared of?
31:58
Adam
What?
31:59
Genevieve Gorder
What are you scared of moving in together?
32:01
Caller
Well, my mom is very supportive of it. My dad doesn't like it at all, even though my brother is cohabitating with his now fiance in Ohio.
32:10
Drew
Laura, you have the strangest way of expressing yourself. Honestly, you're so interesting. All the usual sort of nuances of language have been sort of tossed aside by Laura. Yeah. You know, right now, he's going to become a fighter pilot. And we're cohabitating. He's living with his girlfriend. Yeah. Why are they cohabitating? Are you living in Amish? Are you in Amish or something? Wait a minute. Are your parents Amish or something?
32:35
Adam
Or Shakers?
32:36
Caller
I'm an hour north of Pittsburgh, so no, I'm not Amish.
32:39
Caller
All right.
32:41
Adam
Well, listen, ghost dealers, I mean, you should go to. Get out of there and go see your boyfriend. I'm sure it's not going to last. You guys hang out for six months and you come back. Your dad says, you're right. Yeah. You know, cadence.
32:54
Drew
Very interesting. Very unusual.
32:55
Adam
Yeah. Genevieve has it. They've sort of you guys were like separated at birth. You both have a interesting cadence to you know, but your language is normal.
33:05
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, that's what my problem is.
33:06
Adam
There's an interesting.
33:07
Drew
You don't have that Minnesota. I can't even do that.
33:09
Genevieve Gorder
I don't have that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about?
33:13
Caller
Yeah.
33:15
Adam
It seems like you've you've worked to overcome that.
33:17
Genevieve Gorder
No, I've just been gone a long time. That's just what happens.
33:20
Drew
That's not an accent you're going to stay with if you move out. That one magically goes away.
33:24
Genevieve Gorder
It comes back when you go home.
33:26
Adam
It's one that people seem to be able to drop as opposed to the southern.
33:31
Genevieve Gorder
Or even New Jersey.
33:32
Adam
Even New Jersey. They can't New York. They can't drop that one. Yeah. The Minnesota people I know, and I know quite a few of them, they just seem to drop it magically and they pick it right up magically.
33:42
Drew
Because it's not a lyrical issue.
33:45
Genevieve Gorder
It's not a pitch.
33:46
Drew
There's no pitch issue. It's a pronunciation of vowels.
33:50
Genevieve Gorder
It's our O's.
33:50
Drew
Yeah. It's purely a boat.
33:52
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah. It's almost like slang. It's Canadian. All right.
33:55
Caller
Let's take a...
33:56
Drew
It's close.
33:57
Caller
It's close.
33:58
Genevieve Gorder
They say a boot. We say a boat.
34:01
Adam
Okay.
34:01
Caller
Wow.
34:01
Adam
I'll buy that.
34:02
Drew
She's right.
34:03
Adam
She's right.
34:03
Drew
I can almost tell the...
34:04
Genevieve Gorder
There you go, Canadian, you guys. I know.
34:05
Drew
I can almost tell the difference between those two across the nation.
34:08
Adam
Genevieve Gorder here tonight. She is from TLC's Town Hall.
34:12
Caller
All right.
34:13
Adam
Hold on a sec. Drew.
34:14
Drew
I beg your pardon.
34:15
Caller
Stop crapping on me.
34:16
Adam
I'm doing something here. Saturday nights, 10 o'clock, TLC's. Yes.
34:20
Caller
Go ahead, Drew.
34:21
Drew
We do Last Night of iPod Shuffle again and 20 free songs from iTunes. The bumper you will hear is Float On by Modest Mouse, sometime in the next hour and a half or an hour and 35 minutes and 10 seconds from Laura. When you hear the song, Dial 1-800-LOVE-191 to be the first person to say iPod Shuffle, and you win the songs in an iPod Shuffle. All right. Fair enough.
34:42
Adam
We'll take ourselves a little break. We'll be right back after this.
34:48
This is Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-1-91.
35:05
Adam
Hey, everybody, this is Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191-ER. That's not the song, is it? Is that the song?
35:15
Drew
No.
35:16
Genevieve Gorder
Modest Mouse?
35:16
Adam
That's not the song.
35:17
Drew
They wouldn't shoot that off at the beginning of the show.
35:19
Adam
Why not? What do we care? Just give away one of those goddamn things, so let's get it over with.
35:23
Drew
Well, here's the other thing, is that they'll start bombarding Brian with a billion calls for the next half, 45 minutes.
35:28
Adam
I swear to you, Genevieve Gorder's here tonight from Town Hall, Saturday nights, 10 o'clock TLC. Also, of course, Trading Spaces. And what's going on with Trading Spaces? You moved on, and they're just showing reruns?
35:45
Genevieve Gorder
Well, a couple of us have moved on to other things. I still do specials once in a great while. You can't always chop off the hand that, you know, got me started.
35:54
Adam
Are they talking to you now, like network people, because of the success of, like, Extreme Home Makeover and that kind of stuff? I mean, it's got to be shows wanting to rip it off and do it on a network. I mean, you know, big three network.
36:07
Genevieve Gorder
Absolutely. I mean, well, you saw what happened after Trading Spaces, too. There's like 50 new design shows and some of them are so similar. It's just ridiculous how that medium in particular kind of repeats itself isn't that creative. But yeah, I mean, I'm sure the show that I'm on now will get ripped off at some point. I guess you have to consider it flattery. But I think a lot of us, a couple of us left Treating Spaces and went to different channels and Doug and I stayed because we found a good home and it's just working. So it's very easy.
36:37
Adam
Well, listen, there's definitely, take it from guys that have been around a couple of different networks. It's nice to make friends. They treat you right. They trust you. They leave you alone. It's like any relationship. Like I don't care if it's your maid or you're the gardener or it's your gardener or you're the pool man or it's your pool man, whatever it is. After a few years, you trust people. You know them. They do a good job. And you get to do your thing. You know, people looking at you and bothering you and second guessing you all the time.
37:05
Genevieve Gorder
Well, the biggest thing is that you just have enough room for your creativity. And people let you do it.
37:09
Adam
You got to earn that trust.
37:10
Genevieve Gorder
Exactly. And so after five years of trading spaces, the trust was there. And thus, you know, I wrote this show. So that was it.
37:17
Adam
I was just laughing, thinking, in order to this iPod Shuffle thing, where, you know, why don't you just give it away? Radio stations do that thing where it's like, 106.7 karat, caller 107 is going to get themselves tickets to YouTube. And then the poor board op, the phone op is like, call one, call two, call three. I sit there watching. I just thought they were kidding. I just thought, oh, you wait 10 minutes and you pick the guy. We got a wiener.
37:46
Genevieve Gorder
There's never 107 callers.
37:47
Drew
No, they do. Yes, they do. You go watch them do it.
37:51
Adam
That's how stupid radio guys are.
37:53
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, who would know if they didn't have 107?
37:55
Adam
Nobody would know, but the FCC would close the place down because someone would sue because they were caller 86. But in reality, they were 106 and they want their Schwinn mountain bike. Meanwhile, the poor spaz that's answering the phone, the van driver, it sounds like 57, no, caller 58, caller 59, caller 60, caller 61, caller 61. How about just the first caller that gets in, gets the Schwinn bike? Got to do 106.7 callers?
38:22
Genevieve Gorder
That's just as big of a challenge to be the first caller.
38:25
Adam
I'm fine, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Maybe a bigger challenge to be the first one than the 106.7 caller, but the poor operator doesn't have to, 87, 88, caller 89, that's why they busted up for everyone.
38:37
Drew
Some of that I think is the guys on the air screwing with the callers.
38:39
Caller
You think so?
38:40
Drew
That's what I think, yeah.
38:41
Adam
They're screwing with the phones.
38:42
Caller
The phone screen of Brian in here is having flashbacks.
38:43
Caller
He used to do it apparently.
38:44
Drew
Yeah.
38:45
Caller
Oh yeah, so did Perez.
38:46
Adam
Well, why not make it 2,500 then?
38:48
Drew
Chris used to do that.
38:49
Caller
Yeah, Perez, that's where he started off.
38:50
Drew
Oh, I'm trying to not still do it.
38:53
Adam
The legendary living at home, Chris. He's the engineer that usually fills the huge Birkenstocks left behind by engineer Michel.
39:02
Caller
Huh? Yeah, that's him.
39:05
Adam
Oh, my God, you tell him to answer the phone 100 times. That's that's two days. Oh, are you kidding me?
39:09
Drew
Two days. That's big.
39:11
Caller
Yeah.
39:12
Adam
The winner will be announced Monday. That's good. It's Thursday.
39:15
Caller
All right.
39:15
Adam
Let's go. Come on.
39:16
Drew
Let's break it down.
39:18
Adam
Let's go.
39:19
Drew
Let's get it on.
39:20
Caller
Whatever.
39:20
Caller
Yeah, we got to get it on.
39:21
Drew
If she claps, you like that, she goes like this.
39:23
Caller
Yeah. Jade, hello.
39:29
Adam
You're 17?
39:30
Caller
Yes. What's up?
39:31
Hi. I had a question for Dr. Drew. I know you have triplets. And I'm a triplet. I have two brothers. And when we were little, I don't know how common this is, but we developed our own little language.
39:46
Drew
Yeah, it's very common. And particularly under, you know, three, in that range, sort of two to three.
39:52
But this, we still use it.
39:55
Drew
How does it sound like?
39:56
Caller
To this, say something in triplets.
39:58
Drew
Yeah, say something in triplets.
40:00
Adam
Say the N word.
40:02
Drew
The F word, say the F word. Just be less offensive.
40:05
Cuss words.
40:06
Caller
Oh.
40:06
Drew
Well, how would we know? It's a triplet language.
40:08
Caller
Right.
40:09
Genevieve Gorder
Say, I want to go get a glass of water in your language.
40:12
Oh, God. I don't know. We usually just say like a Nicolabob or Rissacay or just crazy. People say it sounds like rushing or something.
40:22
Drew
And what were they referring to certain objects or an activity?
40:26
Mom and dad, like just crazy things. I don't even remember making them up.
40:32
Drew
What is your mom?
40:33
My mom is my be.
40:35
Drew
And dad, Bobby.
40:37
Caller
Yeah, yeah. All right.
40:38
Adam
It sounds like a retarded kid saying mom and dad. Listen, it's more obnoxious than those Trekkies with their godawful languages. And they always end up sounding like the same thing. And then when you break them down, it turns out they have eight words.
40:49
Caller
Yeah.
40:50
Adam
All right.
40:51
Caller
That's enough.
40:52
Drew
It is common. And sometimes it does sort of stay through time. Sometimes the reason it stays is because it's sort of reinforced by adults. So, oh, you guys have a language and tell us what you're doing. But it can be quite elaborate sometimes. And it can precede English. It could be the language that you actually use to communicate before you get a formal language.
41:08
Caller
Yeah. My brother's girlfriend actually came up to me and she kind of was freaked out because he used, I guess, during an intimate moment with her.
41:16
Genevieve Gorder
Oh, no, that's the problem.
41:18
Drew
What did he say?
41:18
Caller
Yeah.
41:19
Caller
By the way, Maviv.
41:21
Caller
He got freaked out.
41:22
Drew
What did he say?
41:23
Caller
Mama Bamba Juba.
41:24
Caller
Telling her she loved her or something. And it was during.
41:28
Drew
And what did he say? How do you say that?
41:30
Caller
I don't know what he said. He said just gibberish.
41:34
Drew
But it's your language. You should be able to say I love you.
41:36
Snellenar.
41:37
Adam
Snellenar. Why would.
41:39
Genevieve Gorder
Oh, it's like Dutch.
41:41
Drew
No, this is Dr. Seuss language.
41:44
Adam
You know, it's funny, too. They always whenever they do that thing where they interview insane people and they're like they're they're we're abducted or they're part of an alien, whatever. And then they end up asking him what what the language sounds like. It always sounds like the same nonsensical, crappy, stupid gibberish. Yeah, it's always ridiculous, but it's always the same. And we're always excited because it's like, oh, you're you're from a different planet. Yeah. And then they put them on your trance and they're like, speak in that language, you know, like knee be shmeek.
42:16
Caller
I mean, it's all about it.
42:18
Genevieve Gorder
But you shouldn't be grossed out, right? That he used that language because that's probably the most dearest and loving language he has.
42:23
Adam
That's right. Yeah. But she should be freaked out that the girlfriends saw it fit to tell her, Yes, what's your boy?
42:30
Caller
You know? Yeah.
42:31
Adam
Yeah. When your brother was on top of me, the other actually wasn't on top of me. It's doing me wheelbarrow. You know, technically, but figuratively on top.
42:39
Caller
He said, now look, he said, and then he yelled duck.
42:48
Genevieve Gorder
That's sexy.
42:50
Caller
I'm Snadler, no! I'm that brain!
42:56
Caller
Body, body.
43:00
Genevieve Gorder
It's kind of gross. It kind of dirties the language a little bit.
43:04
Caller
Suck that schneezle good.
43:06
Adam
Yeah.
43:07
Caller
Yeah, it's hot. That is so hot.
43:10
Drew
Yeah, you like a little snicker, schneezle.
43:12
Adam
Dr. Seuss on top of you. Ridiculous.
43:16
Drew
All right.
43:16
Adam
You don't tell. Look, let me just say this, everyone. Don't feel compelled to tell everyone you're embarrassing, weird, like, hey, you want to talk about uncomfortable. Last night when I was being intimate. Speaking of uncomfortable, this is uncomfortable. Right. You.
43:33
Drew
Yes.
43:33
Adam
Your uncomfortable moment from last night. Now uncomfortable for me.
43:37
Drew
Multiplies. My brother, you're talking about.
43:40
Adam
Picked up a, put a couple of zeros behind your uncomfortable moment of last night and that's what's going on right now. Yeah. Uncomfortable means shut up. No, don't go telling everyone, getting weird on them. Thank you, Drew. I know you agree with me on this one.
43:54
Drew
Well done.
43:55
Caller
Bravo. Huzzah.
43:57
Drew
Huzzah.
43:57
Caller
Huzzah.
43:59
Adam
Tyler. So much straighter than hooray.
44:02
Drew
Yeah, hooray is like, yeah.
44:03
Adam
How gay is hooray?
44:04
Drew
Yeah, yeah. Where'd that come from anyway, hooray? I don't know.
44:07
Caller
We had huzzah.
44:08
Adam
I mean, you know, the Limeys had huzzah.
44:11
Drew
No, the final fathers had huzzah.
44:12
Adam
Well, they brought it over. Yeah, they brought it with them. They packed their huzzah up in a steamer trunk and they brought it over.
44:17
Drew
We got it. Somebody's got to call us and tell us when the huzzah became hooray.
44:21
Caller
Hooray is so gay.
44:23
Drew
Hip, hip, huzzah.
44:24
Caller
They say hooray in England.
44:26
Caller
They say hip, hip, hooray in England a lot.
44:28
Caller
They do?
44:28
Drew
Yeah, but the huzzah came over.
44:30
Caller
But the huzzah. Huzzah.
44:32
Drew
It sounds more military.
44:33
Genevieve Gorder
Maybe it was like a class thing.
44:35
Adam
I think, I think for kids. Oh, interesting.
44:38
Genevieve Gorder
The peasant said hooray.
44:39
Drew
Maybe as we got all these ethnicities in, it just got switched.
44:42
Genevieve Gorder
Right.
44:43
Drew
Everything else?
44:44
Adam
I think the, I think kids are more comfortable with the hooray.
44:47
Drew
Sure.
44:48
Adam
But as you become an adult, especially male, that hip, hip, hooray.
44:52
Genevieve Gorder
Well, who says hip, hip, hooray? You?
44:55
Caller
Yeah. When?
44:56
Adam
Well, I do.
44:57
Caller
Well done.
44:58
Adam
I do that.
44:58
Genevieve Gorder
Who says that?
44:59
Adam
Because I do, because it would be someone's birthday or something, and I'll go, you know, three cheers for Stan, hip, hip, and everyone has to join in.
45:05
Genevieve Gorder
You look like an British colony.
45:07
Caller
It's funny. Yeah.
45:08
Adam
You could be at a funeral.
45:09
Drew
He lives in 1780. Did you know that? He could be visiting us from the past.
45:12
Genevieve Gorder
The old colonist.
45:13
Adam
You could be standing over just an open casket and go, three cheers for that guy, and everyone would look at you weird. Then you go, hip, hip, and everyone would yell, hooray. You have to answer, hooray.
45:23
Drew
Here's a good man, hip, hip.
45:24
Adam
Yeah.
45:25
Genevieve Gorder
Let's start a movement. Just start saying huzzah.
45:27
Adam
Oh, yeah.
45:28
Drew
He started it.
45:28
Genevieve Gorder
It starts right here, right now. Huzzah.
45:32
Adam
Huzzah. It's like a knock-knock joke. You gotta go, who's there? You just have to go, who's there? You could be clinging to life with a car pinned under a car. You'd have to go, who's there? The paramedic said, knock-knock.
45:43
Caller
You'd have to, you'd have to finish. You'd have to.
45:47
Drew
You'd have to finish shaving a haircut.
45:48
Adam
SUV rolled over on you. It's got you pinned. You're clinging to life. You would have to finish, Drew.
45:53
Drew
Oh my.
45:53
Adam
You have to.
45:55
Drew
I know. What can you do?
45:56
Caller
I just say, we will place array with Huzzah.
45:59
Genevieve Gorder
What's your sign, Drew? Virgo, what's your name?
46:03
Adam
Gemini.
46:04
Caller
Yeah.
46:04
Drew
Oh, that explains everything.
46:05
Caller
Huzzah.
46:07
Genevieve Gorder
Huzzah for you guys.
46:08
Caller
Yeah.
46:09
Drew
What are you, Virgo?
46:10
Genevieve Gorder
Leo.
46:11
Caller
Leo, yeah.
46:12
Genevieve Gorder
See a little organized, Dr. Drew? Yeah.
46:15
Adam
He's organized, yeah.
46:16
Caller
And you're kind of two-faced?
46:18
Adam
Yeah, no, I actually. Four-faced. I don't have any of that. No, I mean, look, you can read it up for that.
46:24
Genevieve Gorder
You're already a contractor, but you're sitting in the radio studio. I got it. That's all I need to know. You're two men living in one body.
46:29
Adam
I don't really have two personalities, so.
46:31
Drew
He barely has one.
46:32
Caller
I barely have one.
46:33
Adam
I got half a personality. Let's take ourselves a little break. Genevieve Gorder here tonight. She is from Town Hall on TLC, Saturday night, 10 o'clock.
46:43
Genevieve Gorder
Thank you, thank you.
46:44
Adam
And of course, some reruns of Trading Spaces.
46:47
Genevieve Gorder
Huzzah.
46:48
Adam
Huzzah. We'll take a break. We'll be right back after this.
46:51
Caller
1-800-LOVE-191.
46:54
Adam
Loveline will be right back. What was in the kitchen?
47:05
Caller
Yeah, huzzah, huzzah, Loveline.
47:11
Adam
I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, Genevieve Gorder's here tonight. She is from Town Hall on TLC, 10 o'clock, Saturday night. Yeah, so what, are you out here? Where do you live?
47:24
Genevieve Gorder
I live in New York City.
47:25
Adam
Oh, you're out here just doing press and that kind of thing?
47:27
Genevieve Gorder
I'm just out here, yeah, I'm just hanging out and seeing some friends and going, doing a lot of work stuff too, but it's nice to be in some warm weather for a little bit. It's freezing in New York.
47:35
Adam
Yeah, that's what they say.
47:37
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, it's winter.
47:38
Adam
Yeah.
47:39
Genevieve Gorder
Fat on that, LA people.
47:40
Adam
Yeah.
47:40
Drew
This is winter here too.
47:42
Adam
This is about as much winter as we get. And even though we've had some rain, 16 feet of rain in the last hour and a half, we still got to conserve. We're in a drought area. This is a desert.
47:53
Drew
It was a penalty. A penalty for water use.
47:55
Adam
A desert. Oh, speaking of the water Nazis around here, speaking to Genevieve who shares our...
48:02
Genevieve Gorder
I'm a water Nazi?
48:03
Adam
No, no, no. I was... I'm going to get to that, but we both share a passion for home improvement and all that stuff. I had this great toilet in my house that was... I had this all green bathroom. They used to do bathrooms in these great colors where they would do the tub.
48:20
Genevieve Gorder
As you should.
48:21
Adam
Yeah, the tub was sort of this mint green. The sink was a mint green, and the toilet was mint green, as well as the green and black tiles and everything.
48:28
Genevieve Gorder
You can't find that anymore. You can't find toilets like that.
48:30
Adam
That's awesome stuff. This toilet was about two stories high with the big green tank and the green bowl and everything. And when I bought the house, I walked right in the bathroom and said, Wow, look at this. This is awesome. I love this toilet.
48:43
Genevieve Gorder
Most people would tear it up too.
48:46
Adam
When I took possession of the house, the toilet was gone.
48:49
Genevieve Gorder
No. They took the toilet?
48:51
Adam
Ripped out. No, the DWP, when the house changes hands, you have to go to the low volume, the one six gallon, whatever.
49:00
Genevieve Gorder
Could they put something inside the toilet to chip?
49:02
Adam
One would think they could have thrown a goddamn brick in there, but the problem is if they put a brick in, then I would take the brick out, and so they couldn't have that. Point is, is they undid the toilet and threw it in the closet. Now, obviously, it could have been chipped or wrecked or whatever, but the second thing is the way the toilet was hooked up in the old 20s style, the water feed was at the top. The way they are at the bottom, the way they are in the new toilets are down at the bottom. So I had this big channel of open tile where, you know, and this sort of-
49:33
Genevieve Gorder
And you can't find tile to match it to cover it.
49:34
Adam
No. And this sort of jerry-rigged hose that ran across and one under the Sears toilet for 68 bucks.
49:39
Drew
I hope you put your old toilet back.
49:41
Adam
Of course I put it back, you Nazi police, you retards coming into my expensive house, yanking out my toilet, leaving weird exposed pipes hanging out of the wall. And then are you the tragedy that is going on in this country? You can come into someone's house and swap the toilet out.
50:00
Genevieve Gorder
Never heard of it.
50:00
Adam
Oh, that's not like it's an LA thing.
50:03
Genevieve Gorder
New York.
50:04
Drew
It's it's all right. You can build on your garage.
50:07
Adam
Yeah, right. Yeah.
50:08
Drew
You can change the now.
50:10
Adam
You can't do anything in LA.
50:12
Genevieve Gorder
You can build a house out of cardboard, but you sell it for 300,000.
50:16
Adam
Yeah, I know. This is town.
50:18
Genevieve Gorder
Why are you living here?
50:19
Adam
I it's it's a good goddamn question. I'm this close to packing up my hizzas and I get out of Dodge.
50:26
Genevieve Gorder
No has asked for you today.
50:27
Adam
Coming into my house, taking my toilet apart, moving it into a closet, putting on crappy toilet. You know, I paid. I'm sure I paid for the crappy toilet, which I got rid of. And the stupid don't we have bigger questions, Dr. Drew?
50:39
Drew
Oh, they're waiting. They're waiting through the toilet.
50:43
Adam
No, I'm not done.
50:44
Genevieve Gorder
OK, well, we'll talk about this later.
50:46
All right. All right.
50:47
Adam
All right. All right, Tyler, wow, he responded to you.
50:50
Genevieve Gorder
That's amazing. How do you do that?
50:52
Adam
Come on. You got to think more. Getting more building stump questions.
50:56
Caller
Yeah, my phone's starting to beep in my ear because it's dying. I've been sitting in a hole so long.
51:02
Drew
Oh, careful out, Tyler.
51:03
Adam
Go ahead.
51:08
Caller
Like every time my boyfriend and I have sex, afterwards, I get locked jaw, like in the left side of my jaw, and it lasts for about a half an hour.
51:16
Drew
You get locked jaw, meaning your jaw locks open?
51:19
Caller
No, like closed, and when I open it, it pops really.
51:23
Drew
So you get spasm of the muscles controlling your jaw?
51:29
Caller
Not really. It's like it locks, and I can't open it. And if I try to open that, the force in it just kind of pops.
51:35
Drew
All right.
51:36
Adam
Is this oral sex or intercourse?
51:38
Caller
Both.
51:40
Drew
Well, obviously, it's the oral sex that's giving you the trouble, unless you're...
51:43
Caller
Well, I mean, I don't even do that often.
51:44
Adam
You can be tense, gritting your teeth, something like that.
51:48
Drew
Yeah. I mean, usually, the problem that happens with the jaws in oral sex is they dislocate. Yeah. The jaw dislocates and slides forward, and it gets locked open.
51:58
Genevieve Gorder
Then it's time for a new boyfriend.
51:59
Drew
And so people get... It's the two big things. You shouldn't like that.
52:02
Adam
I did that to a lady once, but not... Didn't get wide. It went past each other. This way.
52:08
Caller
The teeth went past each other, dislocated.
52:10
Drew
Looking for the penis.
52:11
Caller
That's right. They actually got...
52:14
Adam
The uppers got actually lower than the lowers, and they passed each other, and it...
52:18
Caller
Yeah.
52:19
Adam
My penis is able to bend like a pipe cleaner.
52:21
Caller
Sure, sure. Well, that's amazing.
52:24
Drew
Same size as a pipe cleaner, too strange. Anyway.
52:26
Adam
Like an ancient crank. You know, like a chick.
52:28
Genevieve Gorder
It could be like a weird condition.
52:30
Caller
Well, I think it's kind of weird, though, because we don't have oral sex all the time, and I don't even...
52:34
Drew
But is your mouth open and you're kissing?
52:37
Caller
Not really.
52:39
Genevieve Gorder
Did you get locked out as a kid?
52:41
Caller
No.
52:42
Drew
Well, this is all part of the temporal medial joint.
52:45
Adam
Probably has nothing to do with the sex. I think she's crying her teeth at night or something.
52:48
Drew
It's all part of the temporal medial joint syndrome. You need to see a dentist about this. They may give you a bite blade. You may well get to the thing where it locks open, too, and that's not funny. You have to go to the hospital and have it relocated.
53:00
Caller
I can see her. It's locked open. It just like it.
53:03
Drew
We got that, Tyler, but you got to see some dentists about the TMJ syndrome you got. It's the spasm of the temporalis muscle. The muscle that goes all along in here, comes down into here and spasms.
53:11
Genevieve Gorder
Overuse.
53:12
Adam
Chelsea.
53:13
Caller
Hi.
53:14
22?
53:16
Caller
Yes.
53:16
What's up?
53:17
Caller
Hi, guys. How are you doing tonight?
53:19
Genevieve Gorder
Chelsea. Good.
53:20
Caller
Hello, Genevieve. I love your show. Everything. You're totally awesome. I'm actually going to school for interior design. And I just wanted to know, and it's kind of a cliché question, but your inspirations. I know sometimes you get ideas from artwork and things like that.
53:35
Caller
But, I mean, how do you come up with such?
53:39
Genevieve Gorder
What an idea. A concept. Well, you know, this is what we were all talking about a little bit earlier. And I think it's true in design that the more you see and the more you do, the more experience outside of what you know, the better designer you'll be always. So I always say, especially to young people who are wanting to be designers, is that the best way you can do this is to travel and get out of your world and go and experience every sense you possibly can, every taste and smell and color and bring that back. Otherwise, you're just going to keep making these beige oatmeal houses.
54:08
Adam
That's why I got that TiVo, by the way, so I could really go and experience other cultures, other worlds.
54:13
Drew
She's not talking about porn, Adam.
54:14
Genevieve Gorder
No, not just... Hey, you can be inspired by porn, too.
54:17
Drew
Yeah, that's what I said, not just porn. Huzzah, huzzah.
54:20
Genevieve Gorder
Huzzah, baby. But you just have to take... Mother Nature is the best designer. So take flowers, you take vegetables, you take fruits, you cut those open, there's your color palette, and there's your start. But your concept has to come from something you've done in your life or something someone you're designing for has experienced. So tap in and be a good listener.
54:37
Adam
The blowhard I hate is...
54:39
Genevieve Gorder
Good luck.
54:39
Adam
There are no straight lines in nature. Yeah. Yeah, okay, thanks.
54:43
Genevieve Gorder
Yes, there are.
54:44
Adam
And there probably are.
54:45
Caller
I'm sure the planet's straight.
54:46
Adam
Bamboo seems pretty straight to me, by the way. Yeah, I've seen a lot of straight lines in nature, but I like that it's a weird sort of retardoism that...
54:54
Drew
When people fall back on aphorisms, it means they don't know what they're talking about.
54:59
Genevieve Gorder
What is that called, an aphorism?
55:00
Drew
Aphorism.
55:01
Adam
We're going to take a break. Blowhardism, too. We're going to take a little break. When we come back, remind me to ask Genevieve whether she thinks that people can be good at design who aren't good at design. You can improve.
55:16
Genevieve Gorder
I know the question.
55:17
Adam
You can improve. But I'm thinking, as it pertains to music or acting or whatever, can you really be good at something you really just aren't good at?
55:27
Yep, that's it.
55:28
Adam
And then who decides what's good?
55:29
Genevieve Gorder
Yep, we've got it.
55:30
Adam
All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
55:33
All right, guys, here's the deal. You're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
55:38
Caller
One call is all you need to make.
55:40
Drew
Call the Dateline.
55:41
Caller
877-889-DATE.
55:43
Drew
Call the Dateline.
55:46
Caller
LOVE-191.
55:51
Drew
5105.
56:06
Caller
Yeah, mm, Drew gave me campy.
56:10
Drew
Yeah.
56:10
Caller
It's delicious.
56:12
Caller
I can't talk.
56:14
Genevieve Gorder
Nothing more fun than listening to people eat on the radio.
56:18
Drew
Tell you what, Adam can't breathe it with his nose.
56:20
Genevieve Gorder
Oh, you one of those guys? Oh, I hate to think next to you.
56:24
Caller
You're a mouth breather.
56:25
Drew
Oh, you don't know. Huzzah.
56:27
Caller
Let me say this. Drew knows.
56:29
Adam
We're not sleeping.
56:30
Caller
When I'm done, I'm leaving.
56:33
Adam
That's number one. If I do get too drunk and have to crash out, do it on the sofa.
56:38
Genevieve Gorder
You must have the doggiest breath in the morning. Big mouth breather.
56:42
Caller
I don't worry.
56:43
Adam
No, I don't. I get the cotton now.
56:46
Drew
Yeah.
56:47
Genevieve Gorder
Well, your throat must be dry, too, huh? You get the lockjaw?
56:50
Caller
Yeah.
56:51
Drew
Just when you're having oral sex with a buddy.
56:53
Adam
I do, yeah. No, I get, I'll tell you what you get. What you get is you get a nice mouthful of sawdust. You know, you get the cotton mouth, although it's been raining so much over the last few months in Los Angeles, and it's so humid that you just don't really, if you never.
57:11
Drew
It's not as bad.
57:12
Adam
No, I mean, go to Vegas, go to a hotel room in July, and it's just you wake up, your eyelids are like spot welded and closed.
57:21
Genevieve Gorder
Do you have a humidifier?
57:23
Adam
No. You mean like in my house?
57:25
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah.
57:25
Adam
No, I haven't got that going.
57:26
Genevieve Gorder
Fill the bathtub with water and leave the door open.
57:28
Adam
That's a good idea.
57:29
Genevieve Gorder
I do that in every hotel room. Oh, you do? Because it's really bad traveling.
57:33
Adam
I heard somebody, I think Dickie from the Boss Tones, I don't know why, I think it's him, told me that before you go to bed, especially, you know, we used to go to Vegas a lot to crank anchors. You go to Vegas and like I said, during the summer, it's just, it's so dry. He said, take a glass of water, a couple of glasses, just dump it on the carpet right by the edge of the bed. It just evaporates all night.
57:56
Caller
Yeah.
57:57
Adam
Closer than the tub, but not as much volume.
58:00
Drew
I love that.
58:01
Adam
Oh no, I wouldn't do it there.
58:03
Drew
You pee there.
58:04
Adam
I pee there, yeah. I pee on the carpet. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
58:06
Drew
Yeah, I know, I understand.
58:07
Adam
Okay.
58:07
Drew
Why waste the water? Just go ahead and pee.
58:09
Adam
Well, I'm drinking the water while I'm urinating.
58:11
Drew
That's what I'm saying.
58:12
Adam
Okay. All right. And Drew, I don't-
58:14
Caller
Huzzah. Huzzah.
58:15
Genevieve Gorder
That's all I gotta say.
58:16
Adam
Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Before we left off, I was asking Genevieve about style or taste or design. And if you think people can- If someone can get it, who doesn't obviously get it, you know, are you born with it? You think like you are like a musical. Doesn't people have a musical ear or a green thumb or something like that?
58:42
Genevieve Gorder
That's true. I was a teacher, design professor for a couple of years as well. And I think that we're hardest at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. And I think one of the hardest things, and I actually said it to a couple of students, because I know it would be harder to hear after they were out of school. But sometimes you're not meant to be what you go to school for.
59:02
Drew
How do they take that?
59:03
Genevieve Gorder
Terribly. And, you know, of course they're not going to be happy about it, but I hope that they come back ten years later and say, you know, thank you, because you would have wasted a lot of years of your life and you would have had a lot of rejection.
59:14
Caller
Keep waiting. That's not going to happen.
59:18
Genevieve Gorder
I mean, design is something I think that's pretty intuitive. There is no, like, you can't ask me a question or stump me because there is no right or wrong answer, per se. It isn't a literal science, but I think you're born with an eye or you're not.
59:31
Caller
Yes.
59:32
Genevieve Gorder
You see the world through design or you don't.
59:35
Adam
I agree, but there's a lot of people that think they're born with the eye and don't realize they don't have the eye. There's a lot of people where it's an attractive life to them. Oh, an interior designer.
59:45
Genevieve Gorder
It seems very glamorous.
59:46
Adam
Seems like it seems cool, especially to a lot of women and a lot of gay guys.
59:51
Drew
I bet, though. Yeah.
59:53
Adam
Well, there's nothing. You see, it's sort of like actors in the sense that someone can be banging their head up against the wall for 20 years in this town, and there's nobody who could tell them they can't do it. This is sort of one of those things too, but also you see people that just have done horrible jobs in their own homes.
1:00:10
Drew
I bet there are people like your mom that go, well, that's your idea of good design. Well, mine is something else.
1:00:16
Genevieve Gorder
Exactly. If it makes them happy in their own home, let it go, but if they're trying to be a decorator or a designer, and do it to other people, then you got to say something, but there's a big difference between decorator and designer, and decorator is more of a hobby. Design, you're trained, and there are definitely rules that you know, this color will work with that color, it's just a given, and decorators may know this. Designers try and break new ideas through, and design bigger structures and bigger concepts than just the aesthetics, just the superficial. Does that make sense? No.
1:00:49
Caller
Yeah, no, I mean, yeah.
1:00:52
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, yeah. Right-brainers, you know what I'm talking about.
1:00:55
Adam
No, it's any, every one of your mom's goofball friends considers yourself a decorator.
1:01:00
Genevieve Gorder
Put up a wallpaper border, and they think they've done.
1:01:03
Adam
Yeah, design.
1:01:04
Genevieve Gorder
There's the room.
1:01:05
Adam
Yeah.
1:01:05
Genevieve Gorder
No, there's various levels.
1:01:07
Adam
Yeah. All right. Do you, now do you, do you enjoy the design and aircraft and automobiles and bridges and everything?
1:01:14
Genevieve Gorder
Everything, everything I see.
1:01:16
Adam
All right. Favorite car. You got a favorite car?
1:01:19
Drew
Oh, really?
1:01:20
Adam
Hmm, that's nice. The Volkswagen. Yeah.
1:01:23
Drew
All right.
1:01:24
Genevieve Gorder
If I were a car, that's what I would be.
1:01:26
Drew
But, but you would like the form, not necessarily the functional aspects of that.
1:01:30
Genevieve Gorder
Well, form and function make, married together beautifully make a good design. To the great form and terrible function is still bad design. It has to work.
1:01:38
Adam
Yeah.
1:01:38
Genevieve Gorder
Has to do that.
1:01:39
Adam
My car sort of works.
1:01:40
Genevieve Gorder
What do you have?
1:01:41
Adam
Oh, I got things, baby.
1:01:43
Drew
Yeah. He's got, he's got, he's got.
1:01:44
Genevieve Gorder
I got time. You can tell me.
1:01:46
Adam
Oh, I got things.
1:01:47
Genevieve Gorder
I saw your pacer out there.
1:01:49
Adam
They come over. Come by tomorrow. You can help me.
1:01:54
Genevieve Gorder
Okay. Yeah.
1:01:55
Adam
Yeah, I got ideas.
1:01:56
Genevieve Gorder
Got some, got some plans? If you're a contractor, I'm a designer. We could do big things.
1:02:00
Adam
I know. We could get together. First off, we could have a super-hybrid child.
1:02:03
Genevieve Gorder
It's your mouth breather, so it's not going to happen.
1:02:06
Drew
Yeah, but with your genes and his.
1:02:08
Adam
That's right. Your good looks and my genius.
1:02:11
Drew
Yeah.
1:02:12
Caller
Yeah, that's kind of saying. Alec.
1:02:14
Genevieve Gorder
I'm an alcoholic.
1:02:15
Caller
Yeah.
1:02:16
Yeah, hello?
1:02:17
Adam
Bearded guy. He's moving to Canada.
1:02:19
Caller
Alec?
1:02:20
Yeah.
1:02:21
Adam
You're 19?
1:02:22
Caller
Yeah.
1:02:23
Adam
What's up?
1:02:23
Caller
I have a question for Dr. Drew. Well, like my general area, what is it? I'm not like circumcised or anything, but there's like this kind of like pasty yellow thing growing and I've tried to wash it with an anti-vacterial soap and I've done anything. Should I worry or go to the doctor or something?
1:02:43
Drew
It's growing or it keeps accumulating?
1:02:46
Caller
Yeah, it just keeps accumulating.
1:02:48
Drew
Yeah, that's nothing to worry about. Under the foreskin, you got to just keep things cleaner and dryer.
1:02:52
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, it's just discharge.
1:02:54
Adam
Hit that thing with a hair dryer when you're going to get out of the shower.
1:02:59
Drew
You got to pull the skin back, get things bone dry. It can be yeast, it can be debris, and it's sort of a common thing under there.
1:03:05
Caller
Is there like an ointment I could use or something?
1:03:08
Drew
I think if you just keep it super clean and super dry, this is the care and handling of a foreskin is what prevents that. You're 19 now, it's time to do the proper care and handling.
1:03:20
Genevieve Gorder
But if it persists and it's uncomfortable, then you should definitely go see a urologist.
1:03:23
Drew
Genevieve sent some time over to the sidebar.
1:03:26
Genevieve Gorder
My mother's an obstetrician-gynecologist, so I know a lot of these things.
1:03:30
Caller
There's a lot about foreskin.
1:03:32
Genevieve Gorder
But seriously, don't be scared to go to the doctor and have it checked out. The more you know, the better you feel.
1:03:36
Adam
That's right. There are no straight lines in nature except for bamboo.
1:03:39
Drew
Start with fruit and cut it open.
1:03:41
Adam
All right?
1:03:41
Genevieve Gorder
Want to grow on.
1:03:42
Caller
That's nothing to worry over, right?
1:03:45
Drew
No, it's just- Now you're becoming a bogus caller, Alex.
1:03:47
Adam
Yes.
1:03:47
Caller
No, no, seriously, I'm not.
1:03:48
Adam
Then just maintain. Well, how about doing what Dr. Drew told you to do? Hygiene.
1:03:52
Caller
Okay, cool.
1:03:53
Drew
Clean, peel back, bone dry with a hair dryer.
1:03:56
Genevieve Gorder
If it's green, you got a problem though.
1:03:57
Drew
Bone dry.
1:03:58
Adam
Bone dry.
1:03:59
Caller
All right.
1:03:59
Adam
Let's talk to- tries to have sex with girlfriend, internet.
1:04:05
Caller
It's been on hold for a long time.
1:04:07
Drew
What, sphagnum? Yeah.
1:04:09
Adam
It's not the discharge thing.
1:04:10
Genevieve Gorder
Well, someone didn't teach him how to clean it.
1:04:12
Drew
Right. Yeah. Care and handling of the foreskin.
1:04:14
Genevieve Gorder
Of the baby.
1:04:14
Adam
Yeah.
1:04:16
Drew
That foreskin is ridiculous.
1:04:17
Adam
Excellent conversation to have with your folks.
1:04:19
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, but then it decreases sensitivity.
1:04:20
Adam
Yeah.
1:04:21
Drew
So you don't ejaculate so quickly, which is what guys always complain about.
1:04:24
Genevieve Gorder
Girls complain about too.
1:04:26
Adam
There's no real opinions except for foreskin removal. I think that's how I'll remember him.
1:04:32
Genevieve Gorder
It's not gross though.
1:04:33
Caller
Yeah.
1:04:34
Drew
No, none of these conversations are gross.
1:04:36
Caller
No, foreskin.
1:04:37
Caller
All right.
1:04:38
Adam
I want to talk to, I just want to get rid of some poor people who have been on hold for 94 minutes such as Max.
1:04:45
Caller
Max.
1:04:46
Adam
Max. Max. Max, 16 year old Max.
1:04:52
Drew
He vaporized.
1:04:53
Caller
All right.
1:04:54
Drew
You hear it.
1:04:54
Adam
Huzzah. Huzzah. Let's see.
1:04:56
Drew
Good night.
1:04:57
Adam
All right. On hold for 48. Tori.
1:05:02
Caller
Yeah.
1:05:03
Adam
What's up?
1:05:04
Caller
Hey, I had a question. I can't have like a boyfriend because when I find out that a guy likes me, I absolutely despise him. But when he starts to not like me and thinks I'm like a jerk or whatever, I start to like him and I can't help it.
1:05:20
Adam
All right. That's what you do when you're 17.
1:05:23
Drew
Yeah. Maybe some of that may be just a developmental thing. Are you OK? Have you had a tough life?
1:05:29
Caller
I've had emotional issues with my dad, I guess, but that's about it.
1:05:33
Drew
What happened?
1:05:34
Caller
Well, when I was little, he used to like emotionally abuse me and I have an eating disorder because of him.
1:05:39
Drew
OK.
1:05:40
Caller
Because I didn't eat enough and he made me eat more and more. And yeah.
1:05:46
Drew
Genevieve was shaking her head feverishly.
1:05:47
Genevieve Gorder
Yes.
1:05:47
Drew
Yes.
1:05:48
Genevieve Gorder
Yes. So a confidence issue, it sounds like. Well, I think you're good enough for someone to like you.
1:05:53
Adam
You could be describing just a concerned parent who wants you to eat your veggies.
1:05:58
Caller
But it wasn't just like it was like they're a lot bigger than I am. I'm really small and I didn't eat fast enough for them. And if I didn't, I'd have to eat in like the bathroom while they had like their TV night or whatever. And I couldn't come out until I was done.
1:06:14
Adam
I'm still not totally convinced. Are your parents still together?
1:06:17
Caller
No, they're divorced. I live. I used to live with my dad and my stepmom.
1:06:21
Adam
What's your dad do for a living?
1:06:23
Caller
He really didn't get like a real good job because he'd have to pay child support and he didn't want to. So he kind of got paid under the table for most jobs.
1:06:33
Drew
By the way, all this stuff about dad and yet she's living with dad. Where is mom? Eating disorder is usually a mom thing. So what the hell here?
1:06:41
Caller
Well, I lived with him for like two years and it got really bad. And I finally called her and told her and she got like heart, like she got sole custody of me.
1:06:51
Adam
Why? Listen, most little girls don't move away with dad when the parents get divorced. They stay with mom. What's up with mom? She's alcoholic, drug addict. What's up with her?
1:07:01
Caller
It's just I didn't get along with her. Like we saw things very differently and she thought it'd be best to live with my dad for a while. But it didn't work out.
1:07:08
Drew
No, no, no, no, no.
1:07:08
Adam
Well, okay. And sorry for sounding like an a-hole, Tori, but so far it sounds like you're the one who's the pain in the ass of the group. You didn't get along with your mom. You didn't get along with your dad. Your dad wanted you to eat faster.
1:07:20
Drew
Yeah. First of all, you're in denial about what's ever going on with your mom because the moms don't go, why don't you just go hang out with dad? You're a little bit tough to deal with.
1:07:27
Adam
How old were you when?
1:07:29
Caller
I was in fourth grade.
1:07:30
Drew
No way. Something's wrong with your mom.
1:07:32
Adam
Yeah. All right, hold on. We got to bash on mom. Something very wrong with mom. Most moms would, you know, you'd have to pry them from the hands of their mother.
1:07:43
Drew
And to go live with an abusive a-hole dad.
1:07:45
Genevieve Gorder
Send their daughter to their father.
1:07:46
Drew
An a-hole dad, everyone knew was an a-hole.
1:07:48
Caller
Yeah.
1:07:49
Adam
And it is sort of like, well, I was Democrat, she was a Republican.
1:07:52
Drew
Yeah, I didn't get to see eye to eye.
1:07:54
Adam
We didn't see eye to eye.
1:07:55
Caller
Yeah.
1:07:56
Adam
So I moved out in the dance.
1:07:57
Drew
I was eight, I was eight and we didn't see eye to eye. What are you talking about?
1:08:00
Adam
Make it 10, but the point is, is out of there. Yeah, something's up with mom, obviously.
1:08:05
Drew
Usually.
1:08:06
Adam
And either mom was into drugs or booze or something, or mom is just not a very good person.
1:08:13
Drew
There's two options for mom. Intrusive, awful narcissist that drove you away and then didn't care when you left, or a drug addict who didn't feel anything.
1:08:22
Adam
I thought you were going to say secret agent or a world traveler.
1:08:24
Drew
Agent 99, yes, she could be a world traveler.
1:08:27
Adam
Tori?
1:08:28
Caller
Yeah.
1:08:29
Adam
What was, tell us the truth about your mom.
1:08:32
Caller
I don't really know. She had me when she was really young, so she wasn't ready to be a mother. She just came into it, so she didn't really know how to raise me that well.
1:08:41
Drew
Well, this is where your more profound emotional problem is coming from. The dad is a pain in the neck. I understand that, but you would have managed that if you'd had an adequate attachment to mom.
1:08:50
Caller
Yeah.
1:08:50
Genevieve Gorder
So, who are you living with right now?
1:08:53
Caller
I live with my grandmother.
1:08:55
Caller
Whoa.
1:08:56
Adam
What's mom? What's up with mom now?
1:08:59
Caller
My mom, I wanted to go to a certain high school, so I live with my grandmother, and my mom was like 15 minutes away.
1:09:05
Genevieve Gorder
And that's your mother's mother?
1:09:07
Drew
Yes. By the way, again, a mom worth a GD would have used mom's, grandma's address and have you living with mom.
1:09:15
Caller
Yeah.
1:09:16
Drew
Yeah. Something's very wrong.
1:09:19
Adam
Is you sure your mom's not into drugs or something that preoccupies her?
1:09:23
Caller
She doesn't go out. She is totally against it. She doesn't do anything like that.
1:09:29
Drew
Is she on a bunch of psychiatric meds?
1:09:32
Caller
No.
1:09:34
Genevieve Gorder
What it seems like, I mean, it's obvious why she doesn't, why guys that like her, she doesn't like because it doesn't seem like either of her parents are very involved or like her.
1:09:43
Drew
Right. So it would, it would, it would A, do two things. Yeah. It would expose her to a real relationship, which would be heavy. And two, it would stand out in bold relief against the kind of caretaking she actually got. Wow. Which was painful and awful. All right.
1:09:56
Adam
Tori. Yeah. You should not be a fan of your dad's, but here's the thing. Your mom deserves an equal amount of your hatred as well.
1:10:06
Drew
Disproportionate.
1:10:07
Adam
I would say more. I don't know why people have to pick a side, you know, like, oh, I have a Declare a major in the parent department. I have a metric ton of crap to give somebody. I'm going to give it to my mom, to mom or dad. No, break it in half. Give them a thousand pounds, give them a thousand.
1:10:22
Drew
You hear Adam, he gives it to both his parents all the time. And his grandmother gets a fair share. And your sister and step mom.
1:10:27
Adam
It wouldn't be fair to the one I wasn't abusing.
1:10:30
Genevieve Gorder
But don't focus on all the people you hate. Move on and evolve from this. If your grandma's cool, chill with Grams and move on. Let your parents do their thing. They're not helping you out.
1:10:41
Adam
Yeah, here's this impossible, good words, but physically impossible.
1:10:46
Drew
If you have an illness, meaning a life-threatening illness, i.e. bulimia or anorexia, make sure that's being adequately treated, okay? Yeah.
1:10:55
Adam
All right, Tori, and just, here's the thing, you're 17, start making friends, rely on your female friends.
1:11:02
Drew
Good.
1:11:03
Genevieve Gorder
Start planning your way to college.
1:11:04
Adam
Stop talking trash about them behind their back.
1:11:07
Caller
I don't, I can't, I couldn't do that. I like them too much.
1:11:09
Adam
Good, good. Are your friends kind of troublemakers?
1:11:12
Caller
Huh?
1:11:12
Drew
Are your friends troublemakers?
1:11:14
Caller
No, not at all, my friends.
1:11:16
Caller
All right, good.
1:11:16
Drew
Good.
1:11:16
Adam
Stay with your friends, don't get pregnant. Remember, all guys aren't your dad, but don't look for guys to do things for you, to make you feel a certain way. You feel good about yourself through accomplishments, school, after school stuff, friendships, college, all that stuff, not because guys want to F you.
1:11:35
Drew
Huzzah.
1:11:35
Caller
Huzzah. Huzzah. Good luck.
1:11:38
Adam
Yeah.
1:11:40
Drew
But when did, when did, two weeks ago, maybe three, our callers decided that no, not at all is the response to every question.
1:11:48
Adam
Right.
1:11:48
Drew
No, not at all. Not just no or, yeah, but no, not at all.
1:11:52
Adam
I think they've been seeing.
1:11:52
Genevieve Gorder
Oh, do you find patterns all the time? People just copy each other? Throughout the night?
1:11:57
Adam
There's a weird societal, there's a weird societal sort of denial thing where, it started with the athlete in the post-game interview.
1:12:07
Caller
Right.
1:12:08
Adam
Donovan, you throw 11 interceptions in the first half. Do you think that, you think that hurt the team's chances of winning? No, not at all.
1:12:16
Drew
And then he says, and then he repeats the question.
1:12:19
Caller
I gotta say though, the interceptions probably hurt us.
1:12:21
Drew
Right. That's what I call it.
1:12:22
Adam
That was the first answer, is just every athlete, ever interviewed, you can't tell them anything.
1:12:27
Drew
Yeah, but no, not at all. That's not even, no, absolutely not.
1:12:31
Adam
No, not at all.
1:12:31
Genevieve Gorder
And doesn't everyone say literally all the time, even when it doesn't mean literally?
1:12:35
Adam
He literally jumped out of his skin.
1:12:37
Literally.
1:12:41
Adam
Literally, I literally jumped out of my skin, literally.
1:12:43
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, that's another phase right now.
1:12:44
Adam
I jumped out of my skin, literally.
1:12:46
Drew
Adam is literally a millionaire, literally.
1:12:48
Genevieve Gorder
It drives me crazy.
1:12:49
Adam
Well, that's true. I'm literally a millionaire, but I literally jumped out of my skin and my bones, literally turned to powder.
1:12:55
Drew
And you're still alive.
1:12:56
Adam
And we're sucked out, we're smoked in a hookah pipe by an Indian, literally.
1:13:00
Drew
I turned to porcelain.
1:13:01
Adam
Literally, literally, literally.
1:13:05
Genevieve Gorder
Anyone says that they get hanged up on tonight?
1:13:08
Adam
I was so startled, I jumped so high, I hit my head on an airplane wing, literally, literally, literally hit my head on an airplane wing, literally, literally did it.
1:13:16
Genevieve Gorder
There's no grammar anymore in these schools.
1:13:18
Adam
Yeah. I know people have f-ed out literally.
1:13:21
Caller
They really have.
1:13:22
Adam
That doesn't mean anything anymore.
1:13:25
Drew
Literally, it doesn't. Oh, oh, oh, we have to get this.
1:13:29
Adam
Literally, literally crapped a buffalo.
1:13:33
Caller
Literally, literally. Okay.
1:13:35
Drew
Let's talk to Phoebe.
1:13:35
Caller
Oh, Huzzah?
1:13:36
Adam
Someone knows about Phoebe?
1:13:39
Drew
All right, here we go.
1:13:40
Caller
All right. I was just looking in the dictionary and Huzzah came about in like 1573, so that's earliest, and then that turned into hurrah around 1716, and then they don't have a date on hurray. It just, I don't know.
1:13:54
Genevieve Gorder
We just bastardized it in America.
1:13:56
Adam
Oh, hurrah turned into hurray.
1:13:58
Caller
I believe.
1:13:59
Drew
Did you?
1:14:00
Adam
Let me say, it was hip hip huzzah.
1:14:02
Caller
There we go.
1:14:03
Adam
Then we screwed that into hip hip hurray.
1:14:05
Drew
Hurrah.
1:14:05
Genevieve Gorder
Did we say hip hip huzzah? Or was it just huzzah?
1:14:09
Adam
Our founding, the founding fathers.
1:14:11
Drew
They didn't say hip hip. They had hip hip huzzah. Most of them have huzzahs.
1:14:14
Caller
So the huzzahs.
1:14:15
Drew
Huzzahs of the general, huzzahs.
1:14:17
Adam
Huzzah turned into hurrah, which turned into hurray.
1:14:20
Drew
Yes.
1:14:20
Caller
Exactly.
1:14:20
Drew
Does it say why or how?
1:14:22
Caller
Dr. Drew, something about that.
1:14:23
Drew
Wait, hold on Phoebe. Does it say how or why?
1:14:26
Caller
No, they don't have any information under hurray. And then where is it?
1:14:29
Drew
But I mean, they have a date. They know the day, the year, the transition. Was it at a World's Fair or something? What happened?
1:14:35
Caller
It says, perhaps from German, hurrah, H-U-R-A is where hurrah with H came from.
1:14:40
Genevieve Gorder
I was just going to ask that.
1:14:41
Drew
So in seventeenths.
1:14:41
Caller
And then the hurray thing is just pretty, hold on, I have to look it back up. Well, we just heard words. But it pretty much doesn't say anything other than hurrah.
1:14:47
Drew
Well, think about it. In the mid-nineteenth, mid-eighteenth century is when New York was getting settled by Germans.
1:14:52
Caller
Very young.
1:14:52
Drew
And maybe, and Dutch, and maybe that's where it all kind of bled in.
1:14:56
Adam
Wow.
1:14:57
Caller
Riveting.
1:14:58
Riveting, I know. Phoebe?
1:14:59
Drew
Literally.
1:15:00
Adam
Literally.
1:15:01
Caller
I love these little lessons.
1:15:02
Genevieve Gorder
I love these little lessons.
1:15:03
Caller
Thank you.
1:15:05
Drew
Phoebe, you had a question?
1:15:05
Caller
Oh, I just want to wonder if things with OCD could be mistaken for anxiety disorders?
1:15:10
Drew
Oh, very commonly.
1:15:11
Caller
Okay, so it's possible that it's just OCD and then just...
1:15:15
Drew
And vice versa. And it's hard, and bipolar gets mistaken as anxiety disorders too sometimes. And depression gets, you know, these are hard things to sort out sometimes. Depression, bipolar, bipolar manic, agitation, anxiety, OCD. There's a lot of overlap in those syndromes.
1:15:30
Caller
But you were saying pretty much as long as it doesn't inhibit your daily routine.
1:15:33
Drew
The OCD?
1:15:34
Caller
Yeah.
1:15:36
Drew
Well, if you're having enough symptoms to be thinking about it, you might want to look into it a little bit.
1:15:40
Caller
Well, it's just kind of things from childhood, like weird little things, like coming up with little games, like walking to school and I have to step on the leaves on the ground, I can't step on the cement.
1:15:47
Drew
Yeah.
1:15:47
Caller
Just weird little crap like that.
1:15:49
Drew
That's OCD. Those are OCD qualities. And OCD in our culture is something highly reinforced, right? You're obsessed about school, you're obsessed...
1:15:58
Adam
I have, in high school I had BFD. I didn't care about anything, I didn't want to study.
1:16:02
Drew
You still have BFD as a matter of fact. What's that Phoebe, what?
1:16:05
Caller
Oh, they overreact to everything nowadays, so it's like you don't really know what to worry about, like ADD, you know? Oh, my kid is a bit...
1:16:11
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah. They give you Vioxx for everything.
1:16:12
Drew
No, that's right. And I think the point being is that when it starts to impair your functioning or your quality of life, that sort of thing, that's when you kind of look into it.
1:16:19
Genevieve Gorder
What's the difference between OCD and anxiety? What, the symptoms, what's the difference? How do you know?
1:16:24
Drew
Well, you can get anxiety over an inability to sort of act out your obsessive needs. So you get anxious because you don't get it.
1:16:31
Caller
Is OCD something that's like physiologically in your brain or is it more of a nurture thing?
1:16:36
Drew
Well, it's all your brain, right? It's all wiring issues in your brain. The question is how much of it is set up.
1:16:40
Adam
Well, but not everything. Some things your parents abuse you.
1:16:43
Drew
Correct. So the question then is how much is it merely genetics that you would have had this no matter what your environment had been growing up and how much is environment. And it's always-
1:16:51
Adam
Either way, you should blame your parents.
1:16:52
Drew
That's always an interplay. It's always an interplay.
1:16:54
Adam
Inter-nurture.
1:16:54
Caller
You pick your poison.
1:16:56
Drew
Huzzah.
1:16:56
Adam
All right, Phoebe, you have a child? Do you have a young child?
1:16:59
Caller
But I was married for more than a year before I had her.
1:17:02
Adam
Okay.
1:17:02
Caller
I mean, no, there you go.
1:17:04
Adam
Now you're divorced?
1:17:05
Caller
Huh?
1:17:06
Adam
You're still married?
1:17:07
Caller
Yeah, I'm married. Happily. Very happily.
1:17:09
Adam
Take it easy on that guy. Try to screw up the kid. Okay. Thank you. All right. Wow. We rarely get to hang out. Yeah. We got to hang out. She beat me.
1:17:19
Drew
Well, phones don't hang up anymore. I'm imagining an old phone.
1:17:22
Adam
You push a button.
1:17:22
Drew
Yeah.
1:17:23
Genevieve Gorder
She put them on an old rotary.
1:17:24
Adam
Yeah. It really used to be able to take some aggression out on a tough phone call.
1:17:30
Drew
Remember that?
1:17:31
Adam
You just get.
1:17:32
Drew
It would ring.
1:17:33
Caller
You'd hear a bell when you get the thing.
1:17:35
Adam
And then you'd get the, hello. What do you mean? No.
1:17:39
Caller
Wait a minute.
1:17:39
Adam
I want a second.
1:17:40
Caller
Hello. Hello.
1:17:41
Adam
And then you just could bang the phone.
1:17:43
Genevieve Gorder
Someone's tangled in the cord.
1:17:44
Caller
Yeah.
1:17:44
Adam
You get tangled in the cord. You could slam it down when you're angry. Pay phones beat the crap out of a pay phone. It's punching it and whacking it with the things. Now everything's got a chip in it. It's nothing good. Nothing, you know.
1:17:57
Drew
It's gratifying.
1:17:59
Adam
It's nothing satisfying about all.
1:18:00
Drew
You can heave it. But then what do you do?
1:18:02
Genevieve Gorder
You can chuck it.
1:18:04
Adam
You can. Yeah, I know. But no one has them. You can't slam down a portable phone. It doesn't work.
1:18:09
Caller
It doesn't feel right.
1:18:10
Adam
You know what I mean? And it would, Drew and I have talked about this in the past. We're from an era where you could punch appliances and get them to work. TV wasn't working. TV was whacking the side of it.
1:18:20
Drew
That was the standard. And made that great big tinny deep, like you're banging the chest of the Tin Man.
1:18:25
Adam
Yeah. Everyone was Fonzie back then. Just start banging on stuff. You know, toaster ovens and space heaters and stuff like that. Wouldn't work.
1:18:34
Caller
That was my dad's job.
1:18:36
Genevieve Gorder
That's the job of the dad. Hit stuff.
1:18:38
Caller
Hit appliances.
1:18:40
Adam
Now, you can't punch a DVD player or plasma screen TV or some oven that cooks with solar panels and convection swirl reduction system. You can't punch anything anymore.
1:18:56
Genevieve Gorder
So what are you punching?
1:18:57
Adam
You got to punch your old lady. I know it's not popular. I know it's not a popular thing to save. I'm trying to be honest. I get mad at the TV, I call my old lady over. I punch her, she punches the TV. That's how it works. We'll take ourselves a little break.
1:19:16
Genevieve Gorder
I think we need one.
1:19:17
Caller
Yeah.
1:19:17
Adam
We'll be right back after this.
1:19:19
Hello, this is your radio. Love Line will be right back.
1:19:44
Genevieve Gorder
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline.
1:19:45
Caller
I'm Adam.
1:19:45
Adam
That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1-R. Genevieve Gorder here tonight from Town Hall, which is on TLC, 10 o'clock, Saturday nights.
1:19:58
Genevieve Gorder
Thanks for having me.
1:19:59
Adam
Our pleasure. And so Trading Spaces, is that through or is there more?
1:20:10
Genevieve Gorder
It's still going. It keeps going.
1:20:13
Adam
For you?
1:20:14
Genevieve Gorder
For me, it's a very once in a while thing.
1:20:17
Adam
Right.
1:20:17
Genevieve Gorder
Once in a while. They're like family to me. I mean, you know, I'm on the same network, so it's not really a big hassle. It's so easy now that I'm designing and restoring entire towns.
1:20:29
Caller
Yeah. I guess there's a lot of...
1:20:31
Genevieve Gorder
Doing a living room is like I could do in my sleep.
1:20:34
Caller
Yeah. Yeah.
1:20:35
Adam
Drew, you ever do a town?
1:20:37
Caller
Oh, sure.
1:20:38
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah. I could tell Drew has been up to it.
1:20:40
Caller
Yeah.
1:20:40
Drew
I've designed.
1:20:41
Adam
Drew's got no artistic flair at all.
1:20:43
Genevieve Gorder
Drew's a left-brainer.
1:20:45
Adam
I appreciate it.
1:20:46
Drew
Yeah. I appreciate it.
1:20:47
Adam
He does know...
1:20:48
Genevieve Gorder
You're an enthusiast.
1:20:50
Drew
Just can't create it. No, no. I am.
1:20:52
Adam
No, he...
1:20:53
Drew
An enthusiast. Can you think about me with cars and cars and stuff?
1:20:57
Adam
But an enthusiast would go get something. You appreciate enthusiastically.
1:21:04
Genevieve Gorder
They'd be a collector. Yeah.
1:21:06
Drew
Yeah. I appreciate it.
1:21:07
Genevieve Gorder
You would dig it, Adam. It's all restorative, kind of revitalizing these old historical communities.
1:21:13
Adam
I'm into that.
1:21:14
Genevieve Gorder
You would just, you would dig it. It's really, really, really fun.
1:21:18
Caller
Yeah.
1:21:18
Genevieve Gorder
The stuff you find under all these towns that have covered themselves up in the 60s with vinyl siding.
1:21:23
Adam
Yeah.
1:21:23
Genevieve Gorder
It's like little jewels, like your house.
1:21:25
Caller
Yeah.
1:21:26
Drew
See, we get angry when we see that stuff.
1:21:27
Genevieve Gorder
Oh, that's why I did the show. It was making me mad and the imposters.
1:21:31
Caller
Yeah.
1:21:32
Adam
The imposters, like Ty Pennington.
1:21:34
Genevieve Gorder
He's not an imposter.
1:21:35
Adam
Yes, he is an imposter, everybody. Not a carpenter. Not, not, not a carpenter.
1:21:43
Genevieve Gorder
He can build good stuff, though. I have to say. You have to see it. You didn't see it. You had him here in a radio studio.
1:21:49
Adam
You saw him. He could fire up a table saw and make something.
1:21:52
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, he can. I worked with him for several years. I'm not. Oops, I swore. Sorry.
1:21:58
Caller
Anderson, that was it. Really?
1:22:00
Adam
Seeing him make stuff out of that, make cabinets? You think he'd do like kitchen cabinets?
1:22:05
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah.
1:22:05
Caller
Yeah?
1:22:07
Genevieve Gorder
He can. Honestly, I would tell you if it wasn't true.
1:22:10
Drew
Could he do drawers?
1:22:11
Genevieve Gorder
Yes.
1:22:12
Adam
Seen him make drawers?
1:22:13
Genevieve Gorder
I've seen him make drawers.
1:22:15
Drew
He made drawers for me.
1:22:16
Adam
You think he knows the difference between a dado and a rabbit?
1:22:20
Genevieve Gorder
See, I can't answer that question.
1:22:21
Caller
All right.
1:22:23
Adam
Defend her friend.
1:22:25
Caller
All right.
1:22:25
Caller
Chris.
1:22:26
Caller
All right. Where are we going?
1:22:27
Genevieve Gorder
No more cussing.
1:22:27
Caller
Chris.
1:22:28
Caller
Yeah.
1:22:29
Genevieve Gorder
Sorry.
1:22:30
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, I'm here. Yeah.
1:22:34
Adam
Came on to the show. Didn't know door height, though. Didn't know six, eight. Didn't know door height.
1:22:39
Genevieve Gorder
Eight foot.
1:22:42
Adam
Eight is 80 inches, but it's six, eight.
1:22:44
Genevieve Gorder
Okay.
1:22:44
Adam
Eight foot's the ceiling. Let's see. You're a designer.
1:22:47
Genevieve Gorder
I'm a designer. I'm not a builder.
1:22:49
Adam
No kidding. But Ty Pennington.
1:22:52
Genevieve Gorder
He's not a builder either.
1:22:53
Caller
Yeah.
1:22:54
Adam
And I say huzzah to him being not a builder.
1:22:57
Caller
Look at that right now.
1:22:58
Genevieve Gorder
You got a beef with Ty Pennington.
1:23:00
Caller
Wow.
1:23:00
Drew
It's just a monster.
1:23:01
Adam
Everyone thinks he's a carpenter.
1:23:04
Genevieve Gorder
He can really build stuff. Seriously.
1:23:06
Adam
He built, that's chick stuff. He can't build a house.
1:23:08
Caller
He builds a house.
1:23:09
Genevieve Gorder
But he doesn't build a house.
1:23:11
Adam
In the TV show, he builds a house.
1:23:12
Genevieve Gorder
All those other people build the house.
1:23:14
Adam
I know.
1:23:15
Caller
There we go.
1:23:15
Adam
Chris.
1:23:16
Drew
26.
1:23:17
Adam
Sour grapes.
1:23:18
Genevieve Gorder
I want to try and stump you, Adam.
1:23:20
Caller
Go ahead.
1:23:21
Genevieve Gorder
All right. What's a collar tie in a house?
1:23:25
Caller
Collar tie.
1:23:27
Adam
Let's see. I'm going to figure out what a collar tie is.
1:23:34
Drew
Sounds like what you did to your first house to sort of shore up the walls.
1:23:37
Caller
Yeah.
1:23:39
Adam
No help from the peanut butter.
1:23:40
Genevieve Gorder
Is it something you used to put siding on?
1:23:43
Adam
No. A collar tie is used in framing. Yeah. They have, you know, like, Joyce hangers, Tico clips, and a collar tie would be like a hurricane strap that helps.
1:24:01
Genevieve Gorder
You're close. You're right.
1:24:02
Adam
You're right by the joists. All right. Who makes them? Simpson?
1:24:10
Genevieve Gorder
No, no, no. You're kind of... You're talking about a hurricane strap for your sheer wall.
1:24:15
Caller
Yeah.
1:24:17
Genevieve Gorder
What a collar tie is, is when you have your ridge beam and then you have your roof rafters, if you want a volume ceiling on the inside, you have to have some type, instead of having a lower ceiling joist that sits on top of your top plate, it's higher up and it kind of...
1:24:31
Caller
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:24:32
Adam
I got, yeah, I got two of them in my house and the other one I needed wanted.
1:24:38
Caller
The collar tie, if you got a...
1:24:40
Drew
A-frame.
1:24:41
Adam
Okay, yeah, if you got a roof, you got a...
1:24:44
Drew
Pitch roof.
1:24:45
Adam
You got a pitch roof, but it's exposed from the inside.
1:24:48
Drew
Yeah.
1:24:49
Adam
It's a cathedral style.
1:24:50
Drew
Yeah.
1:24:50
Genevieve Gorder
Collar ties at the peak?
1:24:51
Adam
Collar, no, at the top is a ridge rafter. The collar tie goes at the top of... If you had, okay, if you had a truss set up, you would have, you would have a, essentially a joist going across. Now the top's a rafter, and then you have a joist going across on top of the top plate. Collar tie, you know my house, Drew? You know those metal things?
1:25:15
Drew
Yes, yes.
1:25:15
Adam
That stop the walls from spreading?
1:25:17
Drew
Yes.
1:25:18
Adam
That would be a collar tie. Really?
1:25:20
Genevieve Gorder
So were you stumped or not? I kind of sensed a little hesitation.
1:25:23
Adam
I kind of, I kind of was, although collar tie is really a piece of wood.
1:25:28
Drew
But that's a metal one.
1:25:28
Adam
It can also be metal, but it can be a piece of wood too.
1:25:31
Genevieve Gorder
Huzzah, let's go to the next question.
1:25:33
Adam
Collar tie would basically be the bottom of a truss system, right?
1:25:38
Genevieve Gorder
Well, trusses are, yeah, yeah, I guess it would because the trusses are made by those different kinds of trusses, there's scissor truss, there's all these different trusses.
1:25:44
Drew
Hey Chris, you had another question. All right, there we go.
1:25:45
Adam
All right, I'll go that as a stump, but I knew what it was.
1:25:47
Drew
It's pretty good. Well done, well done.
1:25:49
Genevieve Gorder
Huzzah.
1:25:49
Caller
Huzzah. Huzzah. What's up?
1:25:52
Genevieve Gorder
All right, for a while now, I've been waking up in the middle of the night without me knowing, well, I guess, like asleep, trying to get with my girlfriend. And like she'll wake up and she'll be like trying to wake me up. And I'm like, I'm not trying to rape her, but I'm trying to like have sex with her. And I'm asleep.
1:26:08
Drew
Yeah.
1:26:08
Genevieve Gorder
And I do not, I do not wake up at all. And now my previous relationship, I mean, that was a long, long relationship. She would tell me I did the same thing, but I never believed her.
1:26:17
Drew
Are you, are you drinking when these episodes happen?
1:26:19
Genevieve Gorder
I completely sober. I don't drink.
1:26:21
Drew
I don't have you. Do you have a history of waking up sort of screaming in the middle of the night when you were younger or even?
1:26:25
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, I do. I do do that.
1:26:27
Drew
Yeah, this is in the family of night terrors, these experiences you have, and they're not all that uncommon, and people sometimes get up and tear the room apart. I was talking to psychiatrists about this the other day. You were? Yeah, a patient was doing this, and it gets worse when they drink, but we were saying maybe this is where The Wives Tale comes about. You don't want to wake somebody up when they're sleepwalking because they get crazy, they get wild, they'll hurt themselves, they'll hurt somebody else.
1:26:51
Adam
Because it's funny to watch them sleepwalk. I mean, don't want to screw that up.
1:26:54
Drew
But they will get violent. They're confused, they get violent and agitate and stuff very easily because they're not awake. And so that's why it freaks the girlfriend out because you can get kind of aggressive about it, and you try to commit a violent crime.
1:27:06
Genevieve Gorder
What does it stem from, though? How do you...
1:27:07
Drew
It's usually childhood trauma stuff, and it has a seizure-like quality to it. Sometimes anti-epileptic medication works, trazodone works at nighttime. There's some medicines you can take at bedtime to stop this. Okay? Yeah.
1:27:19
Adam
All right, Chris, come on. One more stumper.
1:27:20
Drew
Wait, wait, wait. I want you to tell Genevieve...
1:27:22
Adam
No more home improvement.
1:27:22
Drew
Wait, wait, wait. Genevieve has to understand...
1:27:24
Adam
Genevieve has burnt out on home improvement.
1:27:25
Drew
She has to understand that Chris nearly committed a violent crime on his girlfriend. A violent crime. I was doing an interview with somebody this evening who brought that up. He goes, well, rape is a violent crime. We're always taught it's a violent crime.
1:27:38
Adam
Well, it is a violent crime, but they say it's not a sexual crime.
1:27:43
Drew
Right.
1:27:43
Adam
It's a violent crime.
1:27:45
Drew
Hang on a second, Chris.
1:27:46
Adam
No, I'm not going into it.
1:27:47
Drew
Oh, please. You got to shut the door. Come on, Chris.
1:27:50
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah. I got to go. Let me elaborate on a little more. She says she's tried to wake me up and my eyes. She looks at me and my eyes are closed.
1:27:58
Genevieve Gorder
Right. And do you say anything to her when she's telling you this? Like, no, does she say?
1:28:02
Genevieve Gorder
No, I don't say anything. And she's like, sometimes she because she sometimes I wake up and I'm like, I'll be kissing her. And then she'll kind of like, oh, she'll like that. I'm kissing her. And we and then we have sex. But then like that's kind of like halfway awake. And then I'll be I'll go right back to sleep.
1:28:16
Adam
And then she's laughing, she's jovial.
1:28:20
Genevieve Gorder
Last night, I had she had tried to wake me up. And like sometimes I'll wake up and my clothes are off. And I'll be like, how did this happen? I won't even know what's going on. I'll be like, did you take off my shirt? And she's like, no, I didn't.
1:28:31
Drew
Oh, Chris, that changes everything. That's a totally different story than what I just explained to you for 10 minutes.
1:28:35
Caller
All right. Having a good time. All right.
1:28:37
Adam
Anymore framing stumpers, Chris?
1:28:40
Genevieve Gorder
OK, what's a cricket?
1:28:42
Adam
Oh, cricket wall?
1:28:44
Genevieve Gorder
No, no, what's a cricket on a roof?
1:28:46
Adam
I would... that is the studs that's underneath the like the gable at the end, at the end of the wall.
1:28:56
Genevieve Gorder
No.
1:28:57
Genevieve Gorder
Is he wrong?
1:28:58
Genevieve Gorder
It's where you make like a little mini roof, where you know on a roof where the water won't shed off.
1:29:04
Adam
I mean like a parapet wall?
1:29:08
Genevieve Gorder
No, you kind of have to make like a little like, let's say for instance, like a little hump to make the water flow into a certain...
1:29:15
Drew
Sounds like what you're describing.
1:29:17
Genevieve Gorder
I think you just got stumped by a sleepwalker.
1:29:18
Adam
I think it's also a cricket. I think the cricket too is that the framing on top of the top plate at the end of like a pointed roof on a gable wall too. I think that... I think you can classify that as a cricket wall too.
1:29:30
Caller
You're saying to move the wall around. All right, everybody.
1:29:33
Drew
Well done, Chris.
1:29:33
Caller
Huzzah.
1:29:34
Genevieve Gorder
Genevieve.
1:29:35
Genevieve Gorder
Yes.
1:29:36
Genevieve Gorder
Okay. You know what you were saying about how you have design or not? I just graduated. I got an architectural degree. And when you go through college for five years and all this kind of stuff for learning design, they don't teach you design. They never say that this is how it is. It's kind of like you have to learn yourself.
1:29:52
Genevieve Gorder
Especially with architecture.
1:29:53
Genevieve Gorder
It's really like an open-ended question.
1:29:56
Genevieve Gorder
It is something you have to feel and you have to have, you know, an intuitive sense about it. But I think especially with architecture students, it's so important to integrate design into your learnings because you're going to be working with designers for the rest of your life, too, if you're going to be in architecture. But you know, all I can say is...
1:30:14
Genevieve Gorder
It's really one of those things like, you know, you find yourself fighting with... The teachers don't tell you anything. The professors don't tell you. You have to find it your own way. And that's kind of like either have it or you don't, like Adam was saying.
1:30:24
Genevieve Gorder
Because the teachers want to have a reason for being there, saying there's a right way to do it or wrong way. And I'm going to teach you how to do it. That kind of validates their position. And you have to have guidance. But you're right. You have to be told that it has to come from within. And then you have to find your own way. Huzzah. Huzzah.
1:30:39
Caller
Yeah, I'm here. I have the definite final answer out of the QPB Word and Phrase Origin Book.
1:30:45
Drew
Oh, yeah. I've seen that on Webster. Oh, really? Yeah.
1:30:48
Caller
This starts with the initials of the Latin words, hirs solum est perdita, which means Jerusalem is destroyed. And it's like three sentences, so bear with me. German nights, not a very bright bunch, were supposed to have known this and shouted hip hip when they hunted Jews in the persecutions of the Middle Ages. Hurrah, by the same imagine, is said to be a corruption of the Slavonic word for paradise, haraj. Therefore, if you shout hip hip hurrah, you're supposedly saying Jerusalem is destroyed, or the infidels are destroyed, and we are on the road to paradise. The phrase doesn't date back earlier than the 18th century. And the exclamation hip hip hip, also, or huzzah, an imitative sound expression of joy and enthusiasm.
1:31:40
Adam
So huzzah is an imitative sound expression.
1:31:42
Caller
Yes.
1:31:42
Drew
So hip hip hurrah is...
1:31:45
Genevieve Gorder
We shouldn't be saying it anymore.
1:31:46
Adam
We shouldn't be saying it. We're hunting Jews.
1:31:48
Drew
It's a genocidal call to action.
1:31:52
Caller
It's the most politically incorrect thing, I think, you could possibly say, but yeah, it dates back to German knights who didn't quite get what they were saying.
1:32:01
Caller
Wow. All right.
1:32:03
Genevieve Gorder
I don't think we got it either.
1:32:04
Adam
Thanks, John.
1:32:05
Genevieve Gorder
No more huzzahs or hurrahs.
1:32:06
Caller
Good times, though, huh?
1:32:07
Adam
Yeah, great times. Good work there. Been boisy.
1:32:10
Genevieve Gorder
I think we should just say a word.
1:32:12
Adam
We're going to take ourselves a little break. Genevieve Gorder here tonight from Town Hall, Saturday, Saturday nights, 10 o'clock on TLC. And we'll be right back after this.
1:32:26
Caller
Loveline, Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:32:30
Caller
We'll be right back.
1:32:44
Caller
Yeah, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew.
1:32:50
Adam
Is it Thursday already?
1:32:52
Caller
Yep.
1:32:53
Adam
Wow.
1:32:53
Drew
Nice.
1:32:54
Adam
Yeah, that's our Friday, everyone.
1:32:55
Drew
It's good times. I'm going to see you on Sunday for our winner, another winner to pay the tsunami crisis.
1:33:02
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:03
Adam
What are we doing?
1:33:04
Drew
We're going to your restaurant.
1:33:05
Caller
Oh, we are?
1:33:05
Drew
Yeah, 8 o'clock.
1:33:06
Genevieve Gorder
Thanks for telling me you had a restaurant.
1:33:08
Adam
We didn't have that 100th ownership.
1:33:12
Drew
That's literally his, literally.
1:33:13
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:15
Adam
No, I don't. I didn't know we're doing that this.
1:33:20
Drew
8 o'clock Sunday.
1:33:21
Adam
8 o'clock Sunday. We haven't talked about this, have we? Nobody's talked about it, have they?
1:33:26
Drew
I don't know where I picked it up. I got it.
1:33:27
Adam
All right. Somebody should tell me. Thanks.
1:33:29
Drew
It'd be a good thing.
1:33:30
Adam
All right. Well, you'll not be there. People are listening, but you'll be there Sunday night.
1:33:36
Drew
You'll meet Tom Burbine, who's the Mount Holyoke astrophysicist who spent his entire month's summer salary on coming out here.
1:33:43
Adam
God bless him. Genevieve Gorder, I should say, here tonight from, wait a minute, Town Hall.
1:33:50
Genevieve Gorder
Town Hall, Gorder.
1:33:51
Adam
Yeah, I got the house.
1:33:52
Genevieve Gorder
On TLC Saturday nights.
1:33:53
Adam
That's right, 10 o'clock. All right. Let's get back to a couple of phone calls here. Speak to Anna, who's 23. Anna?
1:34:02
Hi.
1:34:02
Adam
What's up?
1:34:03
Yeah, I'm just wondering if it's possible to have postpartum depression if you're not actually a biological parent, I mean, as a nanny.
1:34:12
Drew
No, that the postpartum depression is specifically a biological response to the profound hormonal and biological changes of pregnancy. So you can't, now if you're around somebody with postpartum depression, you can get pulled into the, I mean, depression can be sort of, let's call it contagious, for lack of a better word. And there's no doubt that the stress of child rearing can cause people depression and it being around babies can be very evocative of any deficiencies of your own childhood and pull you into depression.
1:34:40
Okay, yeah, I wasn't really sure.
1:34:41
Adam
So what, you have to leave children you've been nannying for?
1:34:46
No, I'm not, I'm not, no plan on leaving them anytime soon, but my boss just had a new baby and it's just been really overwhelming and I've noticed that I've started to feel really depressed and kind of well overwhelmed, it's hard.
1:35:03
Drew
Well, that's not postpartum, that's just being overwhelmed.
1:35:05
Adam
Yeah, it's a nanny and somebody threw another, you were juggling three balls, someone threw a fourth one in there.
1:35:11
Yeah, definitely, definitely. I was just talking to a friend of mine and she was like, kind of joking around, she was like, oh, you probably have postpartum depression, I was wondering if that's actually possible.
1:35:20
Drew
No, but if the mom has postpartum depression, you could sort of get pulled into it.
1:35:24
Adam
How's the nanny stuff work? Is that a cool gig?
1:35:28
It's a lot of fun. And it has its ups and downs, definitely. It's hard to kind of...
1:35:34
Adam
I would make my nanny wear a cape. Remember Phoebe Figuerlilli from Nanny and the Professor? Yes. She actually had like a cape. She was a proper nanny. Nobody wears capes anymore. I would make her wear a cape. Well, I don't know if it was a cape, but it was like a poncho-y cape-y thing.
1:35:50
Drew
I'd make her wear an umbrella with a parrot head on it, and a little pill hat.
1:35:55
Genevieve Gorder
Why did you become a nanny?
1:35:57
Well, I started a few years ago just to move. I went out to New York for a while, and I thought it would be fun. I don't know. I've always been around children. I come from a really large family.
1:36:09
Genevieve Gorder
Are you the oldest?
1:36:10
No, I am the third of seven.
1:36:14
Drew
And again, whatever deficiencies that result from having been a part of such a big family may be sort of being evoked again here.
1:36:23
Adam
All right.
1:36:23
Caller
All right.
1:36:24
Adam
Well, anyway, so if you have depression, postpartum depression, it's just depression.
1:36:28
Caller
Right.
1:36:30
Adam
Okay. I say you get a cape. And remember naming the professor, she would wear a cape and she'd wear like a, almost like a English writing type of hard hat.
1:36:42
Drew
Yes. Without the bill.
1:36:44
Adam
Yeah. Yeah.
1:36:45
Genevieve Gorder
Just a little dome.
1:36:46
Adam
It was hot. It might have had a little bill on it. She was very English, super smoking hot.
1:36:50
Genevieve Gorder
Good teeth?
1:36:52
Adam
No, she had good teeth for it. No, she was hot. Remember when she dug her?
1:36:58
Drew
Is it with Jeannie? Bewitched?
1:37:01
Adam
Yeah.
1:37:02
Drew
And then Nanny?
1:37:03
Adam
Yeah. And then spilled into Wonder Woman for me.
1:37:05
Caller
Oh, of course.
1:37:06
Adam
And then Charlie's Angels.
1:37:08
Caller
Oh yeah.
1:37:09
Genevieve Gorder
Wonder Woman was hot.
1:37:11
Adam
Now it's the Powder Puff Girls.
1:37:12
Caller
Yeah.
1:37:13
Adam
Yeah. A big animation.
1:37:14
Genevieve Gorder
I lost you on that one.
1:37:15
Adam
Yeah.
1:37:15
Caller
Wow.
1:37:16
Adam
You could catch up. Sarah?
1:37:18
Genevieve Gorder
Try again.
1:37:19
Caller
This is her boyfriend. She wanted me to talk to you.
1:37:21
Adam
All right. 21. Or however old. How old are you?
1:37:26
Caller
I'm 24. She's 21.
1:37:28
Adam
What's your name?
1:37:30
Caller
My name's Mike.
1:37:31
Adam
All right.
1:37:31
Drew
Here we go.
1:37:33
Caller
Well, we found out she was pregnant, and we decided on having an abortion, and it's kind of been a really bad situation for the both of us all together. Her parents flipped out and called her nasty and told me to get out of her life, and we ended up going through with it, and we got the MIFEPREX and the Cytotec and did the medical abortion.
1:37:56
Drew
Yeah.
1:37:57
Caller
And she was bleeding really heavily after that.
1:38:00
Adam
So what is the Cytotec?
1:38:03
Drew
It's the MIFEPRISCONE and the Cytotec.
1:38:07
Adam
It's the chemical stuff?
1:38:10
Caller
And we went back a couple of days after that, and they had to do the surgical abortion to stop the bleeding because she was bleeding too heavy. And just tonight we had an extra pregnancy test laying around, and I told her for the hell of it, take it, and it came back positive.
1:38:28
Drew
Well, it makes you wonder whether there's still some retained stuff in there. I don't know off the top of my head the half-life, but what that test for is beta-HCG, which is something produced by the placenta. And I'm not sure how long that stays in your system after the products of conception are removed, but it does make you worry that maybe there's a remaining tubal pregnancy or something left behind in the uterus. So you had to call and ask them, I don't know the half-life of the beta-HCG offhand.
1:38:56
Caller
We wanted to thank you too because part of the reason we were smart enough to make our decision was from listening to you for a long time.
1:39:02
Adam
Drew loves abortion.
1:39:04
Drew
No, I don't.
1:39:05
Adam
He's got a shirt that says I heart and it says abortion.
1:39:08
Drew
I heart adoption.
1:39:10
Adam
Yeah, except for it's spelled out abortion.
1:39:13
Caller
He wanted it to say abortion.
1:39:15
Drew
You guys are screwing me up.
1:39:17
Genevieve Gorder
Do you guys have a planned parenthood close to where you live?
1:39:20
Caller
Actually, that's where we went and we're dissatisfied with the way they are down there.
1:39:26
Genevieve Gorder
Really? Because I was just going to say if you just need a free check up or a good place to go.
1:39:32
Adam
But it's basically free, right? I mean, you know.
1:39:35
Caller
Well, it costed 450 bucks.
1:39:39
Genevieve Gorder
Well, not for a check up, though.
1:39:41
Caller
Oh, well, I don't know about that. That's not what we want.
1:39:43
Adam
Abortion run for I could have got you same abortion for 375. Same abortion. Same one, literally. You got to shop it around. Plus, I could have chewed them down to 350. I could have done that. Drew, you would have been in there. You would have been like 450.
1:39:58
Caller
I'll do it myself. Come on. I'll give you 400 cash.
1:40:02
Adam
Cash on the barrel. Come on, sweetie.
1:40:04
Caller
Be quiet.
1:40:04
Adam
Let me do it. Yeah. You're haggling. Is that is that is that poor taste, by the way?
1:40:10
Caller
Yeah.
1:40:11
Adam
All right. All right. So, Mike, next time, don't tell her parents you're pregnant until you figure out, you know, whether you want to get the abortion or not.
1:40:21
Genevieve Gorder
You guys are also 21 and 24, so it's really your business.
1:40:25
Adam
Right.
1:40:26
Caller
Yeah.
1:40:27
Caller
That's what we found out the hard way.
1:40:29
Adam
All right. I just I got to say hi to Shannon. She's been on hold for a thousand years. Shannon.
1:40:36
Drew
She has to trust in these things.
1:40:38
Adam
Twenty-two year old internet boyfriend says she's I think she's 20.
1:40:42
Drew
She's actually 16. Tell him the truth.
1:40:44
Adam
Oh, OK.
1:40:45
Drew
Becoming an illegal situation.
1:40:47
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then and, you know, the guy can go to jail. I don't know how they do that, by the way.
1:40:53
Drew
Go to jail without knowing that he was with a minor.
1:40:56
Adam
I know it happens all the time.
1:40:58
Genevieve Gorder
Having contact on the internet.
1:40:59
Adam
But no, from actually having physical contact when they meet at the mall in three weeks.
1:41:05
Drew
Unknowingly really believing guys get busted.
1:41:07
Adam
It's like, look, she's she's a sea cop. She's wearing lip gloss and she said she was in junior college.
1:41:13
Genevieve Gorder
And she's got a fake ID.
1:41:14
Adam
Yeah.
1:41:15
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah.
1:41:16
Adam
You should have cut her open and counted the rings or you should have asked for a person.
1:41:19
Drew
What pop culture?
1:41:21
Genevieve Gorder
You got a quiz on the only way you can know how old they are for real.
1:41:23
Adam
That's right. Yeah. What was the name of the actress that played Blossom?
1:41:29
Genevieve Gorder
Oh, yeah.
1:41:30
Drew
You can't come up with like a mya biola.
1:41:33
Adam
You can't come up with that, sweetie. You ain't getting on board.
1:41:36
Genevieve Gorder
Yeah, that's the secret.
1:41:37
Adam
That's how I do it. I have to keep moving it.
1:41:39
Drew
She was in medical school by now.
1:41:40
Adam
Yeah, it used to be.
1:41:42
Drew
Seriously, she was.
1:41:44
Adam
Used to be questions about MacArthur in the Philippines. Now, it's mya biola.
1:41:49
Genevieve Gorder
You're dating yourself.
1:41:50
Adam
I know. Let's take a break. We'll be right back.
1:41:52
Caller
All right, guys. Here's the deal. Look in the hookup.
1:41:55

Adam
That was last week. Thanks Drew. So until next time, it's Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying, Mahalo.
