1:21
Voiceover
Hey, everybody, it's the Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. And tonight, we welcome back to the show, although...
1:37
Drew
Back to Loveline.
1:38
Adam
Back to Loveline. Yeah, the fabulous Eddie Griffin.
1:41
Eddie Griffin
Oh, thank you.
1:42
Adam
Good to see you, Eddie. Dr. Drew.
1:44
Eddie Griffin
Good to see you again.
1:45
Adam
Eddie is here, of course, to promote Deuce Bigelow, European Gigolo, and I've been seeing the commercials. And I was just thinking, first off, they are... The studio is behind this movie a thousand percent because I've seen billboards, bus stop stuff, and a commercial, like, every ten minutes.
2:03
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
2:03
Adam
I don't know what the budget was for the film, but the advertising campaign has got to be at least twice that.
2:10
Eddie Griffin
I think the advertising campaign is way more than the film costs.
2:13
Adam
And Eddie is in every commercial, which technically means he's on TV more than Geraldo. I don't even know if Geraldo is on TV anymore. But the point is, I started thinking about, well, movie guys aren't on TV, but then the reality is they're on TV at more stations, at more times, and if you add it all up, they're pussed. And by the way, you don't have to sit there and blow hard for an hour. Just a nice picture, you're pussed for about ten seconds, and then move on to the next one.
2:43
Eddie Griffin
I think that's why every TV star is trying to become a movie star.
2:46
Adam
Yeah.
2:47
Eddie Griffin
Because you don't see movie stars, Tom Cruise and them, trying to get a television series on CBS.
2:51
Adam
No. And also, I think it's... Stop me if I'm wrong, but when you did Malcolm and Eddie, that was a job, right? I mean, you have to show up every day.
3:02
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, it was a job.
3:03
Drew
It's not a project, it's a job.
3:04
Eddie Griffin
It's a job. And it's a job that I hate it with a passion.
3:09
Adam
Yes.
3:10
Eddie Griffin
You understand, because we had 12 Caucasian writers for two African American young men. I was trying to figure out how they was going to relate to me.
3:19
Adam
Yeah.
3:19
Eddie Griffin
You know, you have to pull a rabbit out of your rain.
3:23
Adam
Yeah.
3:25
Eddie Griffin
Come take day on Friday.
3:27
Adam
Yeah.
3:27
Drew
Nice.
3:28
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. Nothing that was on UPN. It was no. I know. But you guys got like five seasons out of it, didn't you?
3:35
Eddie Griffin
Yes. Yes. We were on underpaid Negroes. Yes. UPN.
3:40
Adam
I didn't know that what it's done.
3:41
Drew
But movies you go, you work for three months and you're done. You're released.
3:45
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
3:45
Drew
Except for the two-week marketing.
3:47
Eddie Griffin
Promotion. Yeah.
3:48
Adam
Yes. Which the grind continues with this show. Yeah. Sorry. We apologize.
3:52
Eddie Griffin
No, no worries.
3:53
Drew
You'll be up at five in the morning at somebody else's show.
3:55
Adam
They're trying to make it painless for you. But you're all over the place doing this. And in this show, oh man, bunch of stuff to talk to you. First off, Dr. Drew was reading your resume. And I sort of remember talking about this stuff with Eddie when he did our TV show. A number of years back. Choreographer for a soccer team?
4:12
Eddie Griffin
The Kansas City Commons. I'm from Kansas City, Missouri. Right. And I used to choreograph pre-game shows. It's like the hype before the soccer game started.
4:21
Adam
Right.
4:21
Eddie Griffin
And indoor soccer was like brand new to the city. So they were trying to get anything. And I happened to be the juggler of the time.
4:29
Adam
You choreographed the chicks or the dudes?
4:32
Eddie Griffin
I choreographed chicks and dudes.
4:34
Adam
The dance act before the show.
4:35
Eddie Griffin
The dance act.
4:36
Adam
Wow.
4:36
Eddie Griffin
And we just basically bombarded the whole soccer arena with as many dancers as I could put together and choreographed the whole shebang.
4:44
Adam
But how'd you get that gig?
4:46
Eddie Griffin
How'd I get that gig?
4:46
Adam
Were you a choreographer?
4:48
Eddie Griffin
No, I had been dancing.
4:49
Adam
What are you talking about?
4:50
Eddie Griffin
No, I was a big fish in a small pound. Kansas City, Missouri is a small marketplace and it was Channel 41, I believe, the station was at. And I had done a couple of appearances on a late night talk show.
5:01
Drew
As a?
5:02
Eddie Griffin
As a dancer. Yeah, well, my dance troupe called the Soul Patrol and we had won every contest in town.
5:07
Adam
Who was Drew's dance troupe in high school? Wait a minute.
5:10
Eddie Griffin
You had the Soul Patrol too?
5:11
Adam
Yes.
5:13
Eddie Griffin
I'm suing.
5:14
Adam
You ripped me off. Yeah, he's 40 years older than you. I think you may have ripped him off. Yeah, he'd hung up his capesios by the time you formed Soul Patrol UK or whatever you have to call it now.
5:25
Eddie Griffin
So that's how they went down.
5:28
Adam
This is my Soul Patrol. I bet you wonder where we've been. Here we come a truck.
5:32
Eddie Griffin
And that lasted for about three shows.
5:36
Adam
Because we're funky on our feet. Now, did the thing get canceled? Did they stop the indoor soccer league?
5:42
Eddie Griffin
Let me put it like this. When I brought enough breakdancers to break up the entire arena, they leave me on my duties.
5:49
Adam
I see. Yeah, because here's the deal. I don't know. I know Kansas City has a nice African-American population, but I imagine they weren't all at the soccer game.
6:00
Eddie Griffin
No.
6:01
Adam
A lot of whiteys over there.
6:03
Eddie Griffin
Yes. Yes. It was the plethora of the Caucasians.
6:05
Adam
Here we got Mexicans. Yeah, they can't get blacks into soccer.
6:09
Drew
Mexicans.
6:10
Adam
Too slow. Everyone's too slow.
6:11
Eddie Griffin
Well, I mean, unless it's like outdoor soccer and you're in the Pele and this new kid they just got over here, you know, which I call, you know, reverse child molestation, you know.
6:21
Adam
Yeah.
6:21
Eddie Griffin
They're not actually going up in him, but you know, economically, they grabbed that 12 year old from Africa and gave him a hundred million dollars and said, would you please introduce America to the largest sport on earth?
6:32
Adam
Right.
6:33
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
6:34
Adam
I know. Everyone always points that out to me when I explain I don't care about soccer. They explain how big it is, but it's like when they talk about one of these bands from South America and it's like, these guys play blimp hangers and soccer stadiums and they are the biggest. And I'm like, I haven't heard of them and I don't care.
6:50
Eddie Griffin
Right.
6:51
Adam
Because that's the beauty about being American.
6:53
Eddie Griffin
Yes. You don't have a world view.
6:56
Adam
Right. No matter what the rest of the world tries to explain to you about how popular music is or sport is or dances or anything is, you just go F off.
7:03
Eddie Griffin
No matter how the United Nations try to explain to you, there are no weapons of mass destruction. I'm going to go look.
7:10
Adam
We're going in, we'll look for ourselves. Yes.
7:12
Eddie Griffin
And ain't found a slingshot yet.
7:14
Adam
Independence, baby. That's why they call it that.
7:17
Eddie Griffin
But we're going to give them democracy because they didn't ask for it.
7:21
Adam
That's right. That's why we have Independence Day and they have Bastille Day, which may mean independence in French. I don't know what they did. They stormed the Bastille.
7:29
Eddie Griffin
Come on, we love the French. They gave us the Statue of Liberty. If we hate them, let's dig her up and ship her back. No more French kissing, keep your tongue in your mouth. No more croissants.
7:39
Adam
Yeah. I've even lobbied to have the French door that Eddie probably has at home called the Freedom Door. Oh, the French doors, Freedom Doors?
7:50
Drew
I was on Capitol Hill.
7:51
Eddie Griffin
Eddie don't have no French doors at his house, number one. Eddie has Zulu doors.
7:57
Drew
There should be no more French frying.
7:58
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
8:00
Drew
No more.
8:00
Eddie Griffin
Exactly. Oh, no, they tried that, the Freedom Fry. Who is the retarded child?
8:05
Adam
Always late, Drew.
8:06
Eddie Griffin
How childish can you get?
8:08
Drew
You're right.
8:08
Eddie Griffin
I'm gonna call it the Freedom Fry.
8:10
Adam
So, I know.
8:11
Drew
Du Spigalow.
8:12
Adam
Du Spigalow, everyone. So, now, did you sit down and work on the script?
8:19
Eddie Griffin
No.
8:19
Adam
No, they just handed you the script.
8:20
Eddie Griffin
I had nothing to do with the script. You know, the sequel is like five years later.
8:26
Adam
Right.
8:26
Eddie Griffin
So, when Rob, I met him at this restaurant here in town that I won't mention because I don't go there no more.
8:32
Adam
Right.
8:33
Eddie Griffin
But-
8:33
Drew
The RV, anyway.
8:34
Eddie Griffin
Yeah. No, it was actually on Sunset. Maribel's. Okay, I said it.
8:39
Adam
Oh, it's going with Ron's stuff.
8:40
Eddie Griffin
Anyway, so we're sitting there, chit-chang. So, we're sitting there, and they give me the script. This script was actually better than the first one. So, you know, I signed right up.
8:52
Adam
You didn't need to make any modifications. But I imagine you'd have fun with your character and change a few things around.
8:58
Eddie Griffin
No, I really, you know, I got to get props to the writers and put it together, Rob and his team over there at Happy Madison. You know, it was all on the page.
9:05
Adam
Really?
9:06
Eddie Griffin
All I had to do is deliver the attitude behind the words.
9:09
Adam
Wow, that's good. Even when it was all on the page, usually guys take a little credit for modifying or fiddling with the dialogue. That's good of you.
9:17
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
9:17
Adam
God damn, that is beautiful. It's refreshing is what it is, Drew.
9:21
Drew
We'll hear the real story from Rob tomorrow.
9:22
Adam
So you guys, yeah, Rob's coming in tomorrow. You guys filmed for three months in Amsterdam?
9:27
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, it was really two weeks to get acclimated to, you know, my first time to Europe, never been there.
9:32
Adam
Oh, really?
9:33
Eddie Griffin
So it was just getting acclimated to Europe and the whole culture thing and smelling and tasting it.
9:40
Adam
And was three months too much? I mean, were you ready to come home?
9:43
Eddie Griffin
Well, after three weeks of coffee shops and Red Light District, you know, you're pretty much burnt out. And, you know, even a kid don't want to stay at Disneyland for a week.
9:53
Adam
Right.
9:53
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
9:53
Adam
You can't eat you can't eat cotton candy for a week. Yeah. Yeah. And replace cotton candy with QALYs. And we're talking about and weed.
10:02
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
10:03
Adam
And and and I would imagine you'd partake in the weed when you're here.
10:07
Eddie Griffin
I haven't I haven't I haven't I haven't smoked weed in seven years.
10:10
Adam
Seven years. But what about in Amsterdam? Nothing there.
10:14
Eddie Griffin
Well, you know, I partook in the festivities over there. Because you know, you're in a new spot. You're like, OK, let me try this. And you go on a coffee shop. There's no coffee. But there's like a candy store that had this glass. And it's like, you know, Hawaiian red hair, purple haze, hydro. I'm like, OK.
10:28
Adam
Do they grow it all there or do they bring it in?
10:31
Eddie Griffin
Legally, they can grow five plants at their residence.
10:35
Adam
Five different, oh, five pot plants.
10:38
Eddie Griffin
If you're a Dutch citizen, you can grow five plants.
10:41
Adam
Right.
10:41
Eddie Griffin
You can grow anything more than that.
10:42
Drew
Perfectly rational.
10:43
Adam
Right.
10:43
Eddie Griffin
Yeah. If you grow anything more than that, you're going to jail.
10:46
Adam
Wow. And last time we were talking to Eddie, I think he just had a heart attack or something.
10:51
Eddie Griffin
Yes, I did.
10:52
Adam
And you're all right? No problems since then?
10:54
Eddie Griffin
No problems. That's why I smoke weed in Amsterdam for my disabled purposes.
10:58
Adam
Sure. And do you get checked? Like, Drew, if you're a 28-year-old guy or a 30-year-old guy who has a heart attack, don't they have to check you twice a year?
11:07
Drew
Well, it depends. Circumstances of the heart attack.
11:09
Adam
Uh-oh.
11:10
Eddie Griffin
Well, it was every three months. Well, my center artery was clogged. They said it was, you know-
11:14
Drew
At 28?
11:15
Eddie Griffin
At 28.
11:16
Drew
You have a stent or what do you have?
11:17
Eddie Griffin
Well, my father passed away at age 45 from a heart attack.
11:21
Drew
You smoke cigarettes?
11:22
Eddie Griffin
Yes, I still smoke. Yes, I'm hard-headed.
11:25
Adam
Oh. What does that do, Drew? What's the smoking?
11:28
Drew
That guarantees you progression.
11:30
Eddie Griffin
As Dr. Gold told me, see the side knife, you don't quit smoking, you're going to die. And as I told him, I've mastered eternal flesh on the bones.
11:40
Adam
That's awesome. Dr. Gold, Jewish doctor over at Cedars-Sinai? Yeah.
11:44
Eddie Griffin
He's the best out here.
11:46
Drew
So when was the last time you had an angiogram?
11:48
Eddie Griffin
My last angiogram was about three months ago. I go every three months to do the treadmill test. He always tells me the same thing. You got the body of an 18-year-old, you feel better because after having one heart attack, which happened on the set of Malcom and Eddie, we were doing the salsa number.
12:03
Adam
Wow.
12:04
Eddie Griffin
And we happened to have the only Latino sister out here in California that can't salsa. So take 17, I'm sweating like a beast. Right. And not knowing I'm having a heart attack because I never had one before.
12:15
Adam
Right.
12:16
Eddie Griffin
I got the tinges in the left cheek and then it shoots down the arm and next thing you know, I'm trying to catch a breath and then paramedics showed up and I get the little nitrile glycerin peel underneath the tongue to open the chest cavity up.
12:31
Adam
They rushed you right in and opened you up.
12:33
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, opened me up. They knew what was happening.
12:35
Adam
No?
12:35
Drew
No, I said it opens so I could breathe.
12:38
Adam
Oh, nitro, yeah.
12:40
Drew
So you had stents put in?
12:42
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, I have a stent.
12:44
Adam
What's a stent, Drew?
12:45
Drew
They shove something down that clogged artery and open it back up. Are you on cholesterol meds now? No.
12:52
Eddie Griffin
You're supposed to be. Never took them. I'm not into drugs. No, I'm not supposed to be. That's what he said. But he went to college for 12 years and read a book. What if the dude that wrote the book was a little insane? What if the pharmaceutical companies just want some of my money?
13:11
Drew
He went to college for 18 years and during that time he saw thousands of people with what you have.
13:15
Eddie Griffin
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. There's thousands of them dying every day, but Eddie's still here.
13:19
Adam
I like Eddie's attitude, so let's enjoy it while it lasts. But here's the thing, Eddie.
13:24
Eddie Griffin
It's not the length of life, it's the quality.
13:26
Adam
What is, wow, are you a religious man?
13:30
Eddie Griffin
Yes, I'm not religious, I'm spiritual.
13:33
Adam
But you know, do you think you're going to heaven?
13:35
Eddie Griffin
Heaven? No, I don't think I'm going to heaven. Heaven and hell is right here on earth. You can create your own heaven, you can create your own hell. It's what you want to do with it.
13:43
Adam
Amen, brother.
13:43
Eddie Griffin
And that's why they say amen, because it wasn't a god, it was a man that wrote that.
13:48
Adam
Ooh, watch the S word there.
13:50
Eddie Griffin
I'm sorry, did I say feces?
13:52
Adam
Yes, you did. But here's the thing, here's what I'm curious about, because you're almost cavalier about your health. It's as if you look the grim reaper in the face and knead him in the groin. And I like that.
14:05
Eddie Griffin
I smack him on a daily basis.
14:07
Adam
I respect that, but what I'm wondering is, when eventually you pass away, and try not to do it during the show.
14:16
Eddie Griffin
No, it's not happening.
14:18
Adam
Where do you think happens?
14:20
Eddie Griffin
Here's what I think. Basic science, energy is never dissipated, it's only transferred. So if your spirit is pure energy that animates this clay body, we call it the human body.
14:30
Adam
Uh-huh. Drew, you getting this by the way?
14:31
Eddie Griffin
Which is your electrical system.
14:32
Adam
Go ahead.
14:33
Eddie Griffin
So obviously your energy, because your nerve in this, Kerry, what? Electricity, electrical current that is created by the human mind, it makes your heart go, dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum. Right. And make your muscles and my mouth move as we're talking. Right. So if this is true, I am energy. Energy is not dissipated, it's transferred. This old car I'm driving in becomes an old car like you get an old car and it gets old.
14:54
Adam
Yeah.
14:54
Eddie Griffin
You hock it in for a new one.
14:56
Adam
That's what I'm telling my wife.
14:57
Eddie Griffin
I think that's why a baby cries at birth is an old soul saying, damn, I got to go through this again. Yeah.
15:02
Adam
You think you just go into a new womb.
15:04
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
15:05
Adam
You get into a new car.
15:06
Eddie Griffin
Yes, indeed. With no memory of the last trip. Otherwise, life would become boring. Imagine living forever.
15:12
Adam
Especially if you're a chick.
15:14
Eddie Griffin
Imagine living forever.
15:16
Adam
Yeah, that would suck.
15:17
Eddie Griffin
Come on, man.
15:18
Adam
Yeah, but I like to make this picture.
15:19
Eddie Griffin
Because the same game is done over and over and over with different technology.
15:23
Adam
So reincarnation, basically, is what we're talking about. Yeah, of all the goofball theories out there, I can sort of get behind that one. I don't believe everyone was nobility in their past lives.
15:38
Eddie Griffin
That's what cracks me up. Everybody that says they reincarnate, they were like, I was Cleopatra, I was Napoleon. Nobody was the slave with the brick built in the pyramid.
15:50
Adam
Yeah, I know.
15:51
Drew
Well, actually, most people died in their first five years of life.
15:54
Adam
Yeah.
15:55
Drew
How come they weren't that?
15:55
Adam
How come they weren't just kids?
15:56
Drew
Throughout human history, most people died either in childbirth or as children.
15:59
Eddie Griffin
So there you go.
16:00
Adam
What were you in your past life? I was three and a horse stepped on me.
16:04
Drew
Yeah, three had died of chickenpox.
16:05
Adam
Yeah, that was it.
16:07
Eddie Griffin
It was the Black Plague.
16:08
Adam
Yeah.
16:08
Drew
But that never, that's never what we were.
16:11
Adam
No, I was nobility. I was a sage.
16:13
Drew
Yeah, but some people go, oh yeah, I was a soldier in the cavalry. But never a three-year-old that died of chickenpox or measles.
16:20
Adam
No, and two things you never were.
16:21
Eddie Griffin
But I think that's why so many people come back with a childish attitude.
16:26
Adam
Yeah, that's a good point.
16:27
Eddie Griffin
Freedom fries.
16:28
Drew
Why did you put the stand in if you weren't going to protect it?
16:30
Eddie Griffin
Because my mother is sitting over there crying. Imagine seeing your mother that I died. So to make her comfortable, I did the stand.
16:38
Adam
You did the stand and the stand again is just auguring out the artery.
16:42
Drew
Actually, it's a mesh that snaps open. It pushes all the cholesterol back into the gut.
16:47
Eddie Griffin
It's like-
16:47
Drew
And then it's got drug in it. It's got medication in it.
16:49
Adam
Oh, really?
16:50
Eddie Griffin
Think of it-
16:51
Adam
It's like an umbrella that you open it.
16:52
Drew
It's an umbrella. It's in a druggy, looting stand.
16:54
Adam
And it stays in.
16:55
Drew
It stays in.
16:56
Adam
Awesome.
16:57
Eddie Griffin
Imagine fiber octaves. And they go in through your main artery and your thigh. And they snake their way up to that artery there, and that umbrella opens up, and the drug releases time capsules.
17:08
Adam
I didn't know the drug- I didn't know there was drugs into that thing.
17:10
Drew
It's a new thing. Yeah, it's a new thing.
17:12
Adam
Oh, that's a new one.
17:12
Drew
There's also radiation.
17:14
Eddie Griffin
Dr. Drew is messing with me right there with the drugs.
17:16
Adam
So here's-
17:17
Eddie Griffin
Because I won't take my drugs.
17:18
Adam
Here's the thing. Yeah, here's what I want to know.
17:20
Caller
Did you-
17:22
Adam
And he's really insane, but I like it.
17:24
Eddie Griffin
Yes, I am. Did you- Who's really insane? I ain't got a nuclear weapon pointed at nobody. Right.
17:30
Adam
No, I don't want to-
17:31
Eddie Griffin
Everybody should go crazy because sanity ain't what is cracked up to be.
17:34
Adam
But it's easier to be insane when you're alive. That's all I'm saying.
17:37
Eddie Griffin
Yes, indeed.
17:38
Adam
So here's my question then. Did you ever take the medication?
17:43
Eddie Griffin
No.
17:44
Adam
Now, see, here's the thing I don't understand. If he would have given you some blood thinning stuff or some medication, you took it and you said, look, I can't function.
17:51
Eddie Griffin
Here's what I do. I do a baby bear every three days.
17:56
Adam
What's that? Baby bear aspirin.
17:58
Eddie Griffin
It's a blood thinner, not a whole one. Because you keep doing that, you're burning and lining out your stomach.
18:04
Adam
You can't take a whole one a day?
18:06
Eddie Griffin
It's not good for you.
18:07
Adam
Really? One a day?
18:08
Drew
You can get ulcer, but they have coated baby aspirin. So you know, the baby aspirin.
18:13
Eddie Griffin
Just a little baby aspirin is enough to keep my blood thin enough where I'm not worried about that issue.
18:18
Adam
But aren't, if you're in Eddie's position, aren't you supposed to take an aspirin a day? Yeah. Oh, okay. And Drew, just one aspirin a day is going to give a normal person an ulcer?
18:29
Eddie Griffin
Well, I have a history of ulcers in my family. That's why I take that chance. Oh, you do.
18:32
Drew
But they have coated now, so you don't have...
18:34
Adam
You need to sue your parents, Eddie.
18:35
Eddie Griffin
I know I do not.
18:36
Drew
Oh, bad genes.
18:37
Adam
Yeah.
18:37
Eddie Griffin
Well, if it wasn't for my parents, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about how Eddie Griffin is in his next flick, so I will not sue them.
18:43
Adam
Well, that's true.
18:43
Eddie Griffin
I am glad they got together and copulated.
18:45
Adam
Well, that's good. But we'd still be here, right? But if you weren't here, then we wouldn't be here to you. I mean, it's heavy.
18:52
Eddie Griffin
Exactly. Y'all would still be here, but I wouldn't.
18:54
Adam
Maybe we're gone soon as you leave.
18:56
Eddie Griffin
Oh, stop it.
18:57
Adam
It's getting heavy now. Wow. So, okay, but here's the thing.
19:01
Eddie Griffin
90% of the problem.
19:05
Adam
You know what I like? Eddie is crazy like a fox. He's obviously super bright and has a great motor in him, but the whole drug thing, I was thinking you were going to tell me you took the drugs, you felt lethargic, you couldn't get out of bed.
19:21
Eddie Griffin
Here's the thing.
19:22
Adam
Does it do that to you, Drew, the blood?
19:23
Drew
I took the cholesterol meds made me feel like hell, I couldn't take them.
19:26
Adam
Well, there you go.
19:28
Eddie Griffin
He's trying to tell me to take them and you not take them. Come on, Drew.
19:30
Adam
I bet your mom's been grinding.
19:31
Drew
I switched to something different.
19:32
Eddie Griffin
Come on, doc. I switched to something different. Red wine.
19:36
Adam
Oh, it's got you there.
19:38
Eddie Griffin
A glass a day will keep the doctors away, but we like you, Doc.
19:42
Adam
Now, what should Eddie do if he isn't going to take the medication and he's going to continue to smoke?
19:48
Drew
Oh, smoking is the worst thing of all.
19:50
Adam
The aspirin is good, and red wine is...
19:53
Drew
Well, you gotta drink a lot of red wine, though.
19:55
Adam
Well, done and done.
19:56
Eddie Griffin
Hey, I just got through with two bottles.
20:00
Adam
What else? What do you mean a lot of red wine?
20:03
Eddie Griffin
There's an enzyme in red wine that's cholesterol.
20:05
Drew
The real effects. People noticed that alcoholics didn't get heart disease, so they started studying what this could be, so they started finding... Yeah, but it's not in small amounts.
20:14
Adam
No, it's in large amounts. Okay, and then what else? Good diet? Is diet anything?
20:18
Eddie Griffin
Well, I got rid of the pork, number one.
20:20
Adam
You cut the pork.
20:21
Eddie Griffin
Get rid of the pig. You are what you eat, and you put anything in the trough, that pig will eat it.
20:26
Adam
Okay, so no more pork.
20:28
Eddie Griffin
No more pork. I mean, it's obviously going to constrict the arteries. It's full of salt, poison and all kinds of... All right. Went on a basically a fish diet, seafood, you know. Maybe I have a little more mercury in my system, you know, with the pollution out there in the ocean right now, but it's better than having steroids from the cow.
20:47
Adam
It's not deep fried catfish, right?
20:49
Eddie Griffin
No. Catfish is a bottom feeder.
20:51
Adam
That's right.
20:51
Eddie Griffin
Do not eat bottom feeders.
20:52
Adam
Oh, you don't have to tell white people that.
20:54
Eddie Griffin
That constitutes shrimp.
20:55
Adam
We don't need catfish.
20:56
Eddie Griffin
Well, I know. That's why y'all make lobster expensive and shrimp expensive. Get black people all twisted like, that's the good stuff.
21:02
Adam
That was the plan. We had a meeting many years ago.
21:05
Eddie Griffin
All right.
21:05
Adam
We must f with the black man by raising the price of seafood and shellfish. Look, I'm not down with all that stuff where people are drinking oysters and licking stuff, pier pylons and scrapings and stuff. I understand a nice steak, my nice salmon filet, a little Chilean sea bass, but all the weird stuff that drags along the bottom. That's the part I have difficulty with. I mean, you eat well, you exercise.
21:32
Eddie Griffin
I exercise every day. I was exercising before I had the heart attack. So it wasn't my physical activity.
21:39
Drew
See what's there, Adam. How dare you?
21:40
Adam
Right. Okay.
21:41
Eddie Griffin
What it was is also, just look at it like I was saying before, you had 12 white writers, da-da-da-da, to show five years, as you said. Stress causes the liver to produce massive amounts of cholesterol. Because the body is trying to lubricate itself thinking it's going to physical activity. When that activity doesn't take place, as Dr. Drew would tell you, good cholesterol becomes bad, and it starts to clog the arteries. That's what happened to me. I'm stressing and I'm never getting a shot off. It's round one and the other boxer is not there.
22:14
Adam
What about the studio? There's insurance and stuff when you do these movies, don't they want to know you're taking your medication or whatever?
22:22
Eddie Griffin
No, they don't want to know I'm taking my medication. All they want to know is I did the treadmill, me and Tellson, the doctor said you got a body of an 18-year-old. Get out of here.
22:28
Adam
So treadmill every three months, you don't miss that.
22:30
Eddie Griffin
I don't miss that. If I feel a fluctuation in my heart, after having a heart attack and being dead for a minute and 10 seconds, I rush to the hospital and I run and I run and I run and I run, and he's like, you're fine.
22:43
Adam
Do you remember what happened when you were dead?
22:44
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, I remember when I was dead.
22:45
Adam
What happened?
22:46
Eddie Griffin
I went into the light.
22:47
Adam
It's the day the laughter died, by the way, Drew. And then the laughter came back when Eddie came back 70 seconds later. Wow.
22:55
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, I went into the light.
22:56
Adam
Did you?
22:57
Eddie Griffin
No, you could, I could really see. No, this is true. I really went out of body experience. I seen myself laying on the gurney.
23:04
Adam
You were over yourself.
23:05
Eddie Griffin
I seen the top of the hospital, the whole thing.
23:08
Adam
You're over the roof of the hospital.
23:10
Eddie Griffin
They hit me with the jumper cables.
23:11
Adam
Paddles, crash cart.
23:13
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, I call them jumper cables, you know, restart this car.
23:15
Drew
Right.
23:16
Eddie Griffin
They hit me with the jumper cables and I fell back into myself.
23:19
Adam
Wow.
23:19
Eddie Griffin
And came up off the gurney.
23:21
Drew
Huh.
23:22
Adam
Drew, how do you explain that as a man of science?
23:24
Drew
I cannot explain it.
23:24
Adam
And a man of passion.
23:26
Eddie Griffin
Well, I can explain it as a man of science myself.
23:29
Adam
Go ahead.
23:30
Eddie Griffin
It's the electrical current in the human brain. As it starts to fade, that's that feeling of elevation. That's that feeling of seeing the light because all thought is condensing into one space.
23:43
Adam
Yeah.
23:43
Eddie Griffin
Right? Light. It's a gravitative thought.
23:47
Adam
Well, let me ask.
23:48
Eddie Griffin
That last thought.
23:49
Adam
Let me ask this. You know when you're-
23:50
Eddie Griffin
It's my theory only.
23:51
Adam
You know when you're working out real hard and you're really working and you really got your heart rate going and sometimes you close your eyes and you see spots.
23:57
Drew
That's different.
23:58
Adam
Or you see light.
23:59
Drew
That's actually your retina. That's actually you putting pressure on your retina.
24:02
Adam
No, I'm not talking about bearing down, but I'm just talking about almost getting a little lightheaded.
24:07
Drew
Well, if you were to expand your masturbatory habits to include autorotic asphyxiation, that's the white light thing. When you cut the blood supply off, there's a massive surge of catecholamines and endorphins.
24:21
Eddie Griffin
I believe what he's saying is you have drained all oxygen out of the bloodstream, and the blood that is now erasing to the cerebellum has no oxygen for the brain to function.
24:34
Adam
Maybe a little semen in it.
24:35
Eddie Griffin
So you're feeling a little lightheaded.
24:38
Adam
I'm just telling me, if you ever...
24:39
Eddie Griffin
And if you got semen in your bloodstream, I need to ask you whose house you've been over.
24:43
Adam
Well, whoever it was, they didn't pull out. The point is, you can jog all you want and never see this, but sprint super hard for the last half mile. Just sprint like a maniac and you'll get that light head.
24:56
Drew
That's part of the runner. It's complicated.
24:59
Adam
All right. Just checking the scene. Well, we were going to take some phone calls, but Eddie's so animated.
25:04
Eddie Griffin
Just do a lance, man. You get to that wall, as they call it. Focus overrides even the lack of oxygen.
25:13
Adam
Yeah. You got to become a missile in first story.
25:15
Eddie Griffin
You just become a beast.
25:16
Adam
All right. Well, listen, Eddie, I'm happy to hear that you're going and getting on a treadmill four times a year.
25:22
Drew
What are you going to do if it comes out abnormal?
25:24
Eddie Griffin
What?
25:25
Drew
The treadmill.
25:26
Eddie Griffin
What am I going to do? Well, I'm going to take my pack of cigarettes and burn all of them at once.
25:31
Drew
So, and that's it?
25:32
Eddie Griffin
I'm done. I have to quit smoking.
25:34
Drew
At the point at which the treadmill is abnormal?
25:36
Eddie Griffin
Yeah. As soon as that, yeah. I'm not retarded. Yeah. But as long as my stuff is normal, I mean, what's there to sit up here and panic about?
25:42
Yeah, yeah.
25:43
Eddie Griffin
You know, everything is gonna kill you eventually, whether it's coffee, cigarettes, hot dogs, beef, fish with mercury. Everybody's fighting tooth and nail over the eventuality of death. Nobody has been here forever.
25:56
Yeah.
25:57
Eddie Griffin
You know, even Jesus has to come back.
25:59
Adam
Yeah. I think Barbara Walters may have been the only one. Forever? Well, she was old when I was born, and she still looks the same now. All right. Let's take a little break. Eddie Griffin is here. The Sage, Eddie Griffin. Wow. Listen, kids, just turn up that radio and start listening to it, because there's things he could teach you. Deuce Bigelow, European Gigolo, it's the name of the film. It is coming out the 12th of August. That is the Friday. Let's see. What the hell is that? Saturday.
26:28
Eddie Griffin
That's Friday.
26:29
Adam
That's a week from this Friday. Yes. All right. We'll take a quick break. Be right back with your calls after this. Keep things up with new Durex warming condoms. There's sex, and then there's Durex. Hey, everybody. It's Love Line. I'm Adam.
27:15
That's Dash.
27:16
Adam
You're Drew. Eddie Griffin is in studio tonight. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Deuce Bigelow, European Gigolo, out on August 12th. And we will now get to the phones. And I'm going to speak to Robert, who claims he was at my show today. But it's only because he's been on hold for 53 minutes and I feel bad. Robert?
27:36
I don't feel bad. I enjoyed it. It was awesome. I loved it.
27:39
Adam
Oh, okay.
27:40
I want to give a shout out. Both of you guys are awesome. Drew and Adam and Anderson, your unsung hero, dude. You're awesome.
27:47
Adam
You were at the taping of my TV show today?
27:50
I was. I made the comment about the dude was from Princeton and I said, that's a community college.
27:55
Adam
Yes. I saw. Yes. I remember you vividly. All right, Robert, you can say you're at the first taping of that show.
28:04
You know what? Can I give my honest criticisms?
28:07
Adam
Go ahead. Yeah.
28:08
Okay. Dude, awesome, awesome show. I'm not just going to smoke up your ass.
28:13
Drew
Here we go.
28:13
Adam
That's all right.
28:14
My only complaint with it, my biggest complaint with it is Carson Daly.
28:20
Adam
Well, he was just a guest.
28:21
Come on, dude. He's not how you want to pop your cherry on your show.
28:27
Adam
Yeah, it's a test show. I like Carson. He's a friend of mine.
28:30
You were on his show a couple of weeks back and you were the only thing good on that show. That show was horrible. He's gay.
28:37
Adam
Robert, I'm going to need you to ride in the backseat of my car and talk while I'm driving. Nobody makes a left-hand turn like you, Mr. Corolla. Not another driver on the road that doesn't work that turn indicator like you. They're all rank amateurs compared to you. God love you, Robert. Well, look.
28:52
Caller
I stayed up so late to watch that show and it was a piece of crap.
28:57
Adam
All right, buddy. Now listen, Carson's a great guy. He was kind enough to do a test show, celebrities. Eddie Griffin is a big celebrity.
29:06
Eddie Griffin
Who was it?
29:07
Adam
Yeah, I'm doing a talk show on Comedy Central that's after the Daily Show.
29:12
Drew
So the technical run through.
29:14
Eddie Griffin
Okay.
29:14
Adam
Well, you do the show, but you have to do two or three of them before you go to air. Before you can figure out what the hell is going on.
29:20
Drew
Eddie Griffin would never do that.
29:21
Adam
Mr. Griffin would never do that.
29:23
Eddie Griffin
No.
29:24
Drew
No.
29:24
Adam
He would be a guest on the show when we do do the show.
29:27
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, indeed.
29:27
Drew
Okay.
29:28
Adam
Well, I'm going to have to get a phone number for you.
29:30
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, immediately.
29:30
Adam
But thank you, Robert. I'm glad you showed up and cheered me on. Allie?
29:36
Hi.
29:37
Adam
You're 21?
29:38
Caller
Yeah.
29:38
Adam
What's up?
29:40
Okay.
29:40
Caller
Well, I'm really nervous. All right.
29:43
Adam
Go ahead. That's all right.
29:45
Caller
I have never had sex because it's too painful. I've also never worn a tampon and I've passed out at- You're pansy.
29:55
Adam
You passed out during gynecological exams.
29:57
Caller
Yeah.
29:58
Drew
Do they tell you that there's something going on there, like a heavy hymen, a thick hymen or something?
30:03
Caller
The first one told me it was on my head and she didn't seem to care. So the one I'm at now though, has she put me on amitriptyline first. She's never told me what it's called. She doesn't really have a name.
30:18
Drew
Amitriptyline? Well, you've got vaginismus probably.
30:21
Adam
Uh-oh. Does that mean you're abused? No. Drew's fidgeting finally ends up in tragedy with my keys on the ground.
30:29
Eddie Griffin
Well, what I'm trying to understand, you said you never had sex before, but it hurts.
30:34
Drew
She can't put a tampon in, can't get a pelvic exam.
30:38
Period hurts.
30:39
Eddie Griffin
Okay.
30:40
Caller
So I was on amitriptyline first, but it made me fall asleep while driving so I had to get off that. So I don't know if that ever did anything or not. Then she put me on Neurontin, which didn't do anything because it made me dizzy. And then I was on Premarin Cream which also didn't do anything. Now I'm in physical therapy and they're doing muscle massages. They said I have really, really, really tight muscles. Even my leg muscles are affecting it, but I don't know if that's my whole problem.
31:09
Adam
By the way, if I became a physical therapist and you're like, yeah, we got the 89-year-old Jewish bra in there. She's got a bad hip, looking to put her in the water tank. This 21-year-old chick who's a virgin over here needs a vanishing massage. I got that one.
31:21
Eddie Griffin
So when you get the massage, do they try with the pinky?
31:25
Adam
Yeah. What do they start with?
31:27
Drew
They aren't inserting anything.
31:28
Adam
I see. How do they do a massage down there?
31:34
Caller
Gloves and fingers.
31:36
Eddie Griffin
So it is fingers.
31:40
Adam
Copious amounts.
31:40
Eddie Griffin
At least they safe with that hand. I got it gloved.
31:43
Drew
That doesn't freak you out a little bit?
31:45
Caller
It did it first, but-
31:48
Eddie Griffin
Now you're starting to enjoy it?
31:50
Caller
They're helping me out.
31:52
Adam
Yeah.
31:52
Drew
Is it helping?
31:54
Caller
Well, it is, but then it seems like there's just too much. They got a lot of the muscles that were even on just my abdomen and stuff that were really painful, but she keeps going deeper. Today, I went in and it just hurt too bad. I couldn't even let her finish.
32:12
Adam
Wait a minute. What's going on? What don't we know about your past?
32:18
Caller
Nothing really.
32:20
Drew
You're not processing. Here is the deal.
32:21
Adam
Where's your dad?
32:23
Caller
At my house. Well, I have a weird family because my parents, we all live together, but they're still married, but they haven't been together.
32:34
Adam
That's called super poor, not weird.
32:36
Drew
Yeah. What's the afford physical therapy and things like that?
32:39
Eddie Griffin
Where's your uncle?
32:40
Drew
Yeah.
32:41
Adam
Where's he at?
32:42
Drew
Still in the basement? It's like you're not processing information from your body normally. A common way that that happens is a physical or sexual abuse that's painful early in life, like under the age of four.
32:55
Adam
Are you positive you never got sexually abused or molested anyway?
32:59
Caller
Unless I can't remember it, then yeah.
33:01
Drew
You wouldn't remember this because it's usually very early, early.
33:04
Adam
What about your dad? How's he doing?
33:07
Caller
He's a good dad.
33:08
Adam
He's a good dad and he still lives at home even though he and your mom are divorced?
33:13
Caller
Well, they're still married, but they just never been.
33:16
Drew
All right. This is separate.
33:17
Caller
All right.
33:18
Drew
All right. Well, let's suffice it to say for some reason-
33:21
Adam
They're being together like physically.
33:22
Drew
Yeah. It's like you don't process information from your body normally.
33:26
Eddie Griffin
There's a blockage.
33:27
Drew
There are physical therapies out there, biofeedbacks for that. That's about really all you can do.
33:32
Eddie Griffin
Do you?
33:32
Drew
Unless you're going to go the psychological route.
33:34
Eddie Griffin
The idea of sex, does the idea of sex turn you on or turn you off?
33:42
Caller
I want to.
33:43
Adam
You want to.
33:44
Eddie Griffin
Okay.
33:45
Adam
Oh, man. I feel sorry for the poor son of a bitch. It opens that bag of bobcats one day.
33:52
Drew
All right.
33:52
Adam
So, Allie, you're going to college.
33:53
Drew
Do you masturbate? Have you ever had an orgasm?
33:55
Adam
What the hell? I did it earlier.
33:57
Drew
Oh, she has.
33:58
Caller
You're looking at me.
33:59
Drew
You have, Allie?
34:00
Caller
Yes.
34:01
Drew
Have you had a neurological workup, did an MRI scans in your back, that sort of thing?
34:06
Caller
I don't think so.
34:08
Adam
Maybe that's the next plan. I would move out of your house. What are you doing living with those nut jobs?
34:13
I'm poor too.
34:15
Adam
I mean, your family must be really poor, right? Dad's still living there?
34:19
Drew
No?
34:20
Caller
Okay. Well, my mom's a writer, so he doesn't have a normal income. Yeah. My kids don't hate each other, but we're not together.
34:29
Adam
What's your dad do?
34:30
Caller
He works at a power plant. He's a chemical engineer.
34:35
Adam
All right. Listen, Allie, you're in school?
34:38
Caller
Yeah.
34:39
Adam
All right. You need to graduate and move out, and go get the work up. There's something going on.
34:47
Drew
She's going about this the right way, though. It's systematic.
34:50
Adam
What? Physical therapists?
34:52
Drew
Yeah. I know there are people that do pelvic physical therapy now, that retrain for incontinence, urinary incontinence, and stool incontinence. It's a beautiful thing.
35:01
Eddie Griffin
I do it nightly. Yeah.
35:03
Adam
That's a tough gig.
35:04
Eddie Griffin
Yeah. I'd love to help you.
35:05
Adam
Yeah. But it's true as a vaginal therapist, you're dealing with people in their 80s normally. It's nice that something young fell off the tree, comes around, said that rotted fruit you've been digging in. You know what I mean? Nice.
35:20
Eddie Griffin
Moved to Amsterdam.
35:21
Adam
Kelly. Are the chicks hot over there or do all hot chicks end up there?
35:26
Eddie Griffin
No. The Dutch women are hot.
35:28
Adam
They're hot?
35:29
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
35:29
Adam
Even the prostitutes are hot?
35:31
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
35:33
Adam
In a way, it's even cooler because if you've got some prostitute, there's an American prostitute, she's like gold teeth, spitting.
35:43
Drew
These are criminals.
35:44
Adam
They're not criminals.
35:44
Eddie Griffin
She's a criminal and plus over there, they're getting a regular checkup. Otherwise, they can't show up at work.
35:49
Drew
Government monitoring.
35:50
Adam
Right. How much of Eddie's per diem went up one of those vaginas?
35:56
Eddie Griffin
Not a dime.
35:57
Adam
You use your own money?
35:58
Eddie Griffin
Never have, never will.
36:00
Adam
Never been with a prostitute?
36:01
Eddie Griffin
No. Never will purchase. I was raised by three pimp uncles. Oh, you had pimp uncles. Pimp uncles is not even in my vocabulary to purchase.
36:08
Adam
Drew had two pimp uncles.
36:10
Eddie Griffin
Gift of Gab. If I can't talk up on it, I don't need it.
36:13
Adam
Right.
36:14
Eddie Griffin
It's against the code of ethics.
36:16
Adam
Yeah. So you had three uncles that were pimp?
36:19
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, most definitely.
36:20
Adam
And they were around you growing up?
36:22
Eddie Griffin
Yes. My mother's brothers. Yeah.
36:24
Adam
Your mother's brothers?
36:25
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
36:25
Adam
And your dad, well, he died of the heart attack early. But he was around?
36:29
Eddie Griffin
He was a fighter pilot in Vietnam.
36:31
Adam
Really?
36:32
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
36:32
Adam
It's a story I'm going to tell my kids.
36:34
Eddie Griffin
That's good.
36:34
Adam
Yeah. He was a fighter pilot in Vietnam.
36:36
Eddie Griffin
He flew F-4 Phantoms and C-130 gunships.
36:39
Adam
F-4 Phantoms, the coolest plane ever made?
36:42
Eddie Griffin
No.
36:43
Adam
Yeah.
36:43
Eddie Griffin
The coolest plane ever made is the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
36:46
Adam
Well, that's a nice plane. It's a more modern plane.
36:49
Eddie Griffin
F-100 GE Turbo fan with 25,000 pounds of thrust, better than one-to-one thrust ratio.
36:58
Adam
Yeah. You know what I mean? Sure.
36:59
Eddie Griffin
No.
36:59
Adam
Plane weighs less than 25,000 pounds, but not fully loaded with ordnance and fuel. But let's keep moving here. The point is the F-4 Phantom, although an old plane, looks like a great white shark. This plane, it's got two engines, big inlets.
37:18
Eddie Griffin
They leave a trail of smoke so that they can find you with a SAM from miles away. Yeah. Then the vertical stabilizer and the horizontal stabilizer. Yeah.
37:27
Adam
It's down at an angle.
37:28
Eddie Griffin
At an angle. Why? That's an excuse for a flawed design.
37:32
Adam
Oh, really?
37:33
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
37:34
Adam
Wow. All right.
37:35
Drew
See?
37:36
Adam
All right. I know. It's a nice plane.
37:37
Drew
You can't judge a book by its cover, Adam.
37:39
Adam
Well, the plane, they got like 25 years' work out of that plane. It's a workhorse. And the dad flew an F-4 Phantom in Vietnam. And he flew the gunship, the C-130.
37:52
Eddie Griffin
C-130 gunship.
37:53
Adam
The one that just has the crazy Gatlin guns and the thing that's just a cannon, 50 millimeters everywhere.
37:57
Eddie Griffin
The one they're using right now in Afghanistan and in Iraq.
38:00
Adam
That thing is good. Have you seen that thing, Drew?
38:02
Drew
Maybe.
38:02
Eddie Griffin
That's another workhorse.
38:03
Adam
That baby.
38:04
Eddie Griffin
Turbo prop.
38:05
Adam
Yeah, it's a prop plane. And they take a regular prop plane, and the C-130 is this military moving plane. You know what I mean? It loads tanks up and stuff. It's got a big gun, and the wings aren't too swept.
38:19
Eddie Griffin
No, it's not swept.
38:20
Adam
No, not swept.
38:20
Drew
You're talking about the tanks roll out.
38:22
Adam
All back ends open up, tanks roll in, troop transport, all that kind of stuff. Well, they took one of those planes, and they just started putting like 20-millimeter cannons, 50-millimeter, 30-millimeter cannons, and Gatling guns, and shells, you know, I mean, think with like howitzers or cannons and stuff. They put them all over the ship. And what the thing does is just flies real low and real slow, and then this thing just led, just starts raining down on it. You're in a tank.
38:50
Eddie Griffin
GIO And the tower radius on it. They can sit there and circle one area and just light it up.
38:55
Adam
GIO And just light up a target, just spent uranium Gatling gun stuff, you know, thousands of rounds a minute, just lighten it up. Wow. All right, we're taking a break. I got to talk to Eddie about aircraft, military aircraft and beyond. Eddie Griffin, great Eddie Griffin. Eddie Griffin in studio tonight.
39:15
Eddie Griffin
Eddie Griffin in studio tonight.
39:17
Adam
That's right. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
39:25
Drew
Hello, who is this? This is Loveline.
39:28
Caller
1-800-LOVE-191. Loveline will be right back.
39:59
Adam
Hey, everybody, it's the Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Eddie Griffin is in tonight. Comedian, lover, military historian, lover of military history. It's a shame to see him go. I've never met anyone who knew so much about airplanes. I've never met a black guy who even knew about one airplane. He is, you are, now here's the thing, once in a while you get some uptight guy with a bad haircut who comes in there and goes, best aircraft ever made, it was a B-52. It's a workhorse, been commissioned in 1951. They say it's gonna be used until decommissioned in 1953. That jughead, you know what I mean? Not good for anything but that, you know? Now, most people that have a sense of humor have every other sense drained from them. They've never heard of anything, they've never seen anything, and if it's made of metal and it's got an engine in it, they don't want to know. It's so refreshing to see a guy with a great sense of humor who knows his military hardware.
40:55
Drew
Do you fly a little model aircraft by chance?
40:56
Eddie Griffin
Yes, I do.
40:57
Adam
Oh, my brother.
41:00
Eddie Griffin
Well, I won a science-mathematic competition when I was in high school, and I took flight lessons at a KCI International Airport and flew Piper Cubs and Cessnas.
41:07
Adam
Wow.
41:08
Drew
Do you fly still?
41:09
Eddie Griffin
No.
41:09
Adam
You fly those model airplanes down in fan eyes?
41:12
Eddie Griffin
Most definitely.
41:13
Drew
Oh, you guys got to hang out.
41:14
Eddie Griffin
I'm a junkie for planes. My father, like I said, he was a fighter pilot in Vietnam.
41:17
Drew
You guys got to hang out.
41:18
Adam
Yeah.
41:18
Drew
Adam has a whole bunch of those.
41:19
Adam
My father was.
41:20
Eddie Griffin
Mine are hooked up with rockets, so I'd love to blow you out the sky. I get it, you're six.
41:27
Adam
Wait a minute. Rockets?
41:29
Eddie Griffin
You got to hook the servos up, man. To the wings and go on and hit the button.
41:33
Adam
Really?
41:33
Eddie Griffin
Got you. Yes. You ain't done it yet? You hook the servos up. They got these plastic bombs that you fill with flour. You can have your little drop zone. You let it go, and you got your little poof of flour.
41:47
Adam
Yeah.
41:47
Eddie Griffin
Like you blew something up.
41:48
Adam
What kind of models do you have?
41:50
Eddie Griffin
Let's see. I have an F-4 Phantom, of course. I have an F-15, I have a Cessna.
41:55
Adam
F-4 Phantom is propeller driven?
41:56
Eddie Griffin
No, that's a Ramjet. I'm joking. It's a jet.
42:02
Adam
It's a jet.
42:03
Eddie Griffin
If it's a Ramjet, then we're doing Mark 7.
42:05
Adam
It's not a ducted fan, it's a turbine?
42:07
Eddie Griffin
It's a ducted fan.
42:08
Adam
A ducted fan. That's not a jet. But that's still good.
42:11
Eddie Griffin
Well, in the model world, your ducted fan is your jet.
42:14
Adam
Well, that's your jet.
42:15
Eddie Griffin
Because they're not going to actually give you a jet.
42:17
Adam
They have jets.
42:18
Eddie Griffin
They do?
42:19
Adam
Oh, baby.
42:21
Eddie Griffin
I have to watch my MC model.
42:22
Adam
Your head is going to explode. Get on that computer engineer, Chris, and find a model jet.
42:28
Eddie Griffin
Find a model jet.
42:29
Drew
Give him a nail play.
42:30
Eddie Griffin
There's not a ducted fan.
42:31
Adam
Now, I'll tell you what. Just go to Bob Violet. Go to Bob Violet. There you go. Kelly, during the break, we're going to have a talk.
42:40
Drew
I've had two calls so far. I wanted to tell you, you take a good-
42:42
Eddie Griffin
Or rcmodel.com.
42:44
Adam
Yeah. Kelly?
42:46
Yeah?
42:47
Adam
You're a lesbian masochist.
42:52
Drew
All right.
42:52
Adam
You're a lesbian masochist?
42:54
Yes.
42:55
Drew
What goes on? You're a lesbian.
42:57
Adam
Awesome. Tell us about it.
43:00
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, that's what happens.
43:03
True. Quiet.
43:05
Eddie Griffin
I'm not like, you know, self-abusive. I don't cut myself or anything.
43:10
Like, I just-
43:11
Eddie Griffin
within the realm of sexual activity, I enjoy pain. And my partner expressed- you know, I asked her to cut me the other night, and she expressed some concern, and decided that I had a problem, and advised that I seek help. And I wanted to-
43:25
Drew
Well, here's the deal.
43:27
Adam
Drew, let me just chime in and say I know you have kids. If one of them comes home and describes their boyfriend or girlfriend ever as a partner, that's when you got trouble.
43:35
Drew
That's when I bit up by the side of the capsule.
43:37
Adam
You chomp down on the side of the capsule.
43:38
Drew
I don't need to see anymore. That's it.
43:40
Adam
Yeah. Boyfriend's fine, girlfriend's fine, wife, husband, whatever you want to call it.
43:44
Eddie Griffin
But partner.
43:44
Adam
Bitch or hoe. But when you hear partner, there's trouble.
43:47
Eddie Griffin
So you said you asked your partner to cut you.
43:50
Caller
Yeah.
43:51
Eddie Griffin
You mean your hair or what?
43:53
Eddie Griffin
No, my arm.
43:54
Drew
Have you ever done things like that before?
43:57
Caller
I've had other people cut me before, yes.
44:00
Drew
You started going down a path that's a problem. Here's where your partner has a point, which is that when you start going down that path, you tend to need more and more arousal in order to get satisfaction.
44:11
Adam
Yeah.
44:11
Drew
It's a compulsive path you had down.
44:13
Eddie Griffin
Hitler started with one country, then he wanted all of Europe.
44:16
Adam
Right.
44:16
Drew
That's what I'm saying. Hitler was exactly what I had in mind.
44:21
Adam
Yeah. You won't stop until someone puts a standard in you.
44:23
Eddie Griffin
Caligula.
44:24
Adam
Yeah.
44:24
Drew
That's right. Caligula is really the model. The fact is that something happened to you that burned out some of your arousal centers, let's say, in order to feel arousal, you need high levels of stimulation and you'll seek it more as you go along. So you sense your girlfriend has a point. You're looking at this.
44:41
Adam
She's the sane one. What happened to you in the past?
44:44
Eddie Griffin
Absolutely nothing.
44:46
Adam
Nothing?
44:47
Eddie Griffin
No.
44:47
My parents are still together. They have a very healthy, happy relationship.
44:50
Eddie Griffin
My brother's normal.
44:51
My sister's normal.
44:52
Adam
I know. I know.
44:52
Eddie Griffin
So what we're trying to say is at one point, at what point in your life did you say, hurt me?
44:58
Caller
Yeah.
45:00
Eddie Griffin
It was actually one of my past girlfriends introduced me to, you know, pain during sex and I enjoyed it.
45:08
Drew
Yeah, but pain, pinching, all that stuff. You're talking about drawing blood. It's a different thing.
45:13
Adam
Rough trade is healthy. It's a little ass tap, a little tug of the hair.
45:17
Drew
Yeah. You're talking about actually cutting. And now you're in.
45:19
Eddie Griffin
A head of nine tails ain't going to hurt nobody.
45:21
Drew
That's right.
45:22
Eddie Griffin
But a butcher knife.
45:23
Drew
Yes.
45:24
Adam
Right. So Kelly, really, we find it hard to believe that you're this much into this without any physical abuse in the past? No.
45:34
Eddie Griffin
A little bit?
45:35
Adam
A little bit of beating? Never.
45:37
Eddie Griffin
See, I think what you need is a little couch time.
45:40
Drew
Yeah.
45:41
Eddie Griffin
And that's not a bad thing. I just think you need to sit down and get psychoanalyzed. Because it's not a disease or anything. You know, the mind works like a muscle. And if your muscle is not working properly, you go to a physical therapist. You need to go to a mental therapist and give them a little couch time and figure out why. Because you know, pain and pleasure register in the same hemisphere of the human brain. So somewhere, those signals are getting crossed in that hemisphere where your pleasure is coming from pain. And you need to find out where it's crossing and uncross it.
46:14
Adam
Eddie Griffin, aviator, entrepreneur, rock-hunter, comedian. Where does it stop?
46:23
Drew
But Kelly, it just almost never happens that that doesn't, it's not some antecedent, trauma, physical abuse typically.
46:29
Adam
Yeah.
46:30
Drew
And you can't say never, but.
46:32
Adam
And listen, Kelly's very quick to point out. No, everything's fine. No family.
46:37
Drew
All the more reason to look into this to see where you're missing something.
46:41
Adam
Here's the thing.
46:41
Drew
Where you're not.
46:42
Adam
Everybody who's doing some wacky ass when their family's fine, you're in worse shape. You know the people who claim they're not drunk? Like you go, wow, you sound like, you sound horrible. Or have you been drinking?
46:52
Caller
No, I'm not drunk.
46:54
Adam
And they're like, no, they're so busy fighting you. And you're like, listen, buddy, you better pray you're drunk because if you're drunk, at least you're going to sound different tomorrow. All right. If you're not drunk, this is you. Yeah. I would say I'm drunk. And if I was doing some really effed up stuff and someone said, look, did your family ever. Instead of fighting them on it, I would give us some thought because otherwise I come from the cleavers and I'm turning into using a cleaver.
47:18
Drew
Bad genes.
47:19
Adam
Myself with my lesbian partner. You know what I'm saying?
47:22
Drew
Yes, yes.
47:22
Adam
All right. Eddie Griffin, the great, the great, great Eddie Griffin, the the the do little, the do little of black comedians, everybody. Jimmy do little. Look it up, kids. Great American.
47:38
Eddie Griffin
Yes, yes. We like Mark Twain.
47:40
Adam
Well, I'll tell you what do little did.
47:43
Drew
After the break.
47:43
Adam
Okay. All right. All right. We'll take a quick break. We'll be back with Eddie Griffin after this. Hey everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Comedian and kindred spirit. Eddie Griffin in studio tonight.
48:50
Eddie Griffin
My brother.
48:51
Adam
I just forgot how fascinating Eddie was. I really did. And all you have to do is be in one crappy hobby that I'm into and I label you fascinating.
49:00
Drew
Genius and fascinating.
49:01
Adam
I mean, genius and fascinating. You're in a remote control airplanes. Fascinating. Genius. Everyone else makes fun of you. I level you a genius, a pioneer, an aviation pioneer. Yeah.
49:15
Drew
You call them the Doolittle.
49:16
Adam
One of the original Kiskegee Airmen over here.
49:19
Eddie Griffin
The Wright Brothers.
49:21
Adam
That's right.
49:22
Eddie Griffin
That's what we're going to call ourselves.
49:23
Adam
Yeah.
49:23
Drew
You and Adam?
49:24
Adam
Yes.
49:25
Eddie Griffin
The Wright Brothers.
49:26
Drew
I see a show here.
49:26
Adam
I can just see us six months from now sitting in studios, pitching a comedy about guys who fly model airplanes.
49:33
Drew
Wacky.
49:33
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
49:33
Drew
Wacky comic.
49:34
Eddie Griffin
Yes. It's called Bottom Gun.
49:36
Adam
Awesome. It's called Ball Turret Gunner. That's a bad kick. All right. So here's what Jimmy Doolittle did, everybody. Of course. All right. Why not? Why not learn the kids? You know what I mean?
49:50
Eddie Griffin
Come on. Hit me.
49:51
Adam
Here's what happened. The Japs. That's right. I call them Japs because that's what we used to call them back then. They bombed our Pearl Harbor and we were freaked out. The country was freaked out. It's weird when you look back at these events and time and you say to yourself, well, we always knew we were going to win. No, we didn't. No, we didn't. We didn't have much of a fleet. It was all at the bottom of Pearl Harbor. Thank God we had some carriers out on patrol, saved a few of those. We had to snap into action. It was nowhere near one and the reason Japan did it, they did their homework, they were smart. They figured we couldn't bounce back.
50:28
Eddie Griffin
A day that'll live in infamy.
50:30
Adam
That's right, yeah, oh, they were wrong about that.
50:33
Eddie Griffin
What they didn't count on was the American industry and ingenuity.
50:38
Adam
That's right, they did not and what happened was-
50:40
Eddie Griffin
The industrial might tore the little island up.
50:42
Adam
About eight months into the war, we were getting nowhere. We were trying to get some islands, getting shot down, getting kicked around. We weren't making much progress in the first year of the war.
50:52
Eddie Griffin
I know what you're getting ready to say. Now I remember Doolittle.
50:55
Adam
Yeah.
50:55
Eddie Griffin
Doolittle's the one that said, we're going to take a little ragtag fleet.
50:59
Adam
Go to Tokyo.
51:00
Eddie Griffin
Of planes, and we're going to bomb Tokyo.
51:02
Adam
Right. And we couldn't get near Tokyo because we didn't have any of those Philippine islands or anything.
51:07
Eddie Griffin
He took some B-29s.
51:09
Adam
He took B-29s.
51:11
Eddie Griffin
Retrofitted them to come off a carrier.
51:13
Adam
That's what he did. And nobody thought they could get one of those bombers, albeit-
51:17
Drew
Nobody didn't know until he did it.
51:19
Adam
Albeit a small bomber, get it off a carrier. They had to lighten them up. They took out the guns and they put actually black mop handles and stuff in it. So it just looked like there was a gunner in the back, but it's trying to get weight off the thing. Then they did that thing too, to twist the knife. They had just enough fuel to get in-
51:39
Drew
But not to get-
51:39
Adam
Bomb Tokyo and land somewhere in China. Yes. Okay. But what happened? The fuel thing and everything was based on them getting within like four or 500 miles of the Japanese mainland before they took off, but they were spotted. And like a Japanese fishing troller saw them when they were about 700 miles out and they were like, we don't know if the guy reported back and said we're here or not, so we're going for it. So now they don't got enough fuel to go out and get back or even ditch in China, but they take off anyway. You want to talk about heroes. These guys just fly into Japan and start bombing Japan. Now they weren't going to do any real damage because it wasn't enough bombs and it wasn't big enough planes or anything. They're making a statement that we dropped bombs on Japanese soil. But soon as these guys were done with their bombing, now they're out of gas and they got nowhere to go. So they just start spreading out and ditching. Some guys make it to China. Other guys just crash. Other guys get captured and some are just killed on the spot. You know, 55 guys leave and 21 guys come back. That's it. But Doolittle is a hero after this for leading this raid. He somehow ditched and China made it back. But you want to talk about Wavos back then.
52:57
Drew
Did it do any damage or anything?
53:00
Adam
No, it was all psychological. Yeah, well, I mean, they dropped a few bombs in Tokyo. You can't do that. You want to bomb Tokyo, you got to get 100 of the Stratifortresses and do it over 100 days with 100 tons.
53:15
Eddie Griffin
I mean, they messed up a couple of sushi bars. But it was enough for the Japanese people to say, okay, we can get reached.
53:22
Adam
Yeah, and it was enough for the American people to have something to cheer about.
53:25
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, and say, we can win this.
53:28
Adam
That's right. That's what we did. Am I right? You see that? What a country.
53:33
Eddie Griffin
Yes, indeed, Mr. Deedee.
53:35
Adam
Adam?
53:36
Caller
Yeah. All right.
53:37
I got a Germany or Florida for you.
53:38
Adam
Germany or Florida. Eddie, here's how the game is played. He tells us the bizarre story, and we guess, did it come out of Germany or Florida? Because all bizarre stories emanate from either Germany or Florida. If it's sick, if it's twisted, if it's involved in cold.
53:55
Eddie Griffin
If the vote ain't counted correctly.
53:57
Adam
Germany or Florida.
53:58
Eddie Griffin
Yeah.
53:59
Adam
Go ahead, Adam. Yeah.
54:01
All right.
54:01
Dude, and at the end of the song, I got another Germany or Florida song that I wrote that might be better than the other guys. I don't know what you'll think.
54:07
Drew
Let's just hear yours.
54:07
Adam
Let's hear your Germany or Florida theme song.
54:10
All right.
54:10
Here we go. The other song that guy wrote was simply put, gay. We do it every once in a while, but not every day. At the end, you find yourself saying, duh, try not to get stumped by Germany or Florida, duh.
54:25
Adam
All right. You know what? It showed imagination. It had a little hiccup in the middle.
54:30
Caller
Yeah, I know.
54:31
Adam
But I believe we put the right studio musicians behind you.
54:34
Drew
We'll be good. Aniston, let's hear the-
54:35
Caller
Things are sick and twisted from too much sun and Nazis, sex, meth, and death fetishes. Both of them have got these.
54:42
Guaranteed not to bore you, Germany or Florida.
54:45
Drew
See, we stopped playing that one because David Angre writes me hate emails every time we don't.
54:52
Adam
He gets angry if we don't play his.
55:00
Caller
Germany or Florida.
55:04
Adam
He may be black and he may be a comedian, but I guarantee he doesn't know as much about aircraft as Eddie Griffin does. Here's the swinging version.
55:11
Caller
Germany or Florida. Germany or Florida.
55:22
Adam
Big ending.
55:22
Caller
Let's find out. Don't do the thing.
55:26
Don't do the thing.
55:27
Caller
Don't do.
55:30
Adam
That big ending. All right. So Adam, go ahead and give us a story.
55:36
All right. A 45-year-old doctor took a 35-year-old nurse to his house. She was under the impression that they were to review lab test results from a cancer patient. When they pulled into the garage, the doctor grabbed, gagged, and tied the nurse to an old hospital bed in the garage. He injected massive amounts of anesthetic into the nurse's bloodstream, resulting in her death. He then performed a surgical procedure in which she removed the eyes, large and small intestine, and various fingers and toes. He then put them in individual mason jars and froze them to show his friends later. One of the friends reported him to the local police the next day, and the doctor was apprehended soon thereafter.
56:11
Drew
Germany.
56:11
Adam
Feels like Germany to me, too.
56:13
Eddie Griffin
That would be Florida because there were police.
56:15
Ooh.
56:17
Drew
Well done.
56:18
Eddie Griffin
In Germany, that would be the Gestapo, and he would already have a job doing that, testing people.
56:23
Adam
That's right. Interesting.
56:25
All right.
56:25
But it was Nürburgring, Germany.
56:28
Adam
Yeah. That's why you have to play Germany or Florida. That's why they play the game. Anything that sounds like medical experimentation feels good.
56:36
Told you it was Germany.
56:38
Adam
See, the point is, Germany or Florida.
56:41
Caller
Is it Germany or Florida?
56:43
Drew
Yeah.
56:44
Adam
Now, there's a dead woman, but she was not stabbed with a rusty piece of rebar, so it had to be in Germany. The idea that there's medical precision involved with the homicide, any precision. Germans are nuts, but in a precise way.
57:00
Eddie Griffin
Most definitely. They created the jet engine.
57:02
Adam
Yes, they did.
57:03
Drew
Oh, did they really?
57:04
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
57:04
Drew
I'm kidding.
57:05
Adam
Oh, yes.
57:06
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
57:07
Adam
Yes, they did.
57:07
Drew
Interesting.
57:08
Adam
Oh, yes. We went over there and picked that place clean after World War II.
57:13
Eddie Griffin
We robbed a lot of great German mines to create the A-bomb.
57:17
Adam
Yeah. And the whole...
57:19
Eddie Griffin
And the Russians grabbed the rest of them.
57:20
Adam
Well, here's the problem with the Germans. They threw the Jews out, the Jews knew the recipe to the A-bomb.
57:26
Eddie Griffin
Yes, indeed.
57:27
Adam
Smart. See, you don't mess with them, Jews.
57:28
Eddie Griffin
I have now become a killer of worlds.
57:31
Adam
Yeah.
57:32
Drew
Speaking of Jews, my wife watches that... Do you want to be at Hilton Show? Have you seen that damn show?
57:37
Adam
That's why she doesn't know who Doolittle is.
57:38
Drew
But one of the disjointed here, Kerok, watches it too before we go on the air sometimes. And I thought, this woman, it's who she wants to pick to be... Any ethnicity will have none of that. Yeah. She finally got rid of the Jewish girl last week. It's like, okay, what is this show about? It's so... So you want to be a wasp? Is that what the show is about?
57:57
Adam
Well, is she intentionally cutting anyone of ethnicity or color?
58:02
Drew
Whether it's volitional, conscious or otherwise, it looks awful.
58:07
Adam
Oh, really?
58:07
Drew
It just is abominable.
58:09
Adam
Everyone's just blonde and waspy?
58:11
Drew
Just the waspiest left behind. People with southern accents and people are super waspy.
58:16
Adam
Well, I guess when you put your name behind it.
58:18
Drew
And everyone else has ethnic qualities about them. She's like, oh, we could have none of that. We could have none of this.
58:23
Adam
So you think it's playing like it's racist?
58:25
Drew
It plays profoundly that way.
58:29
Eddie Griffin
I believe it's more of a class system.
58:31
Drew
But you know, that's what I thought it was going to be.
58:33
Eddie Griffin
But when you look at the source, and there's no class at the source, you know what I'm saying? When your daughter Paris has done most of Europe. So and the continental United States, you know, okay.
58:46
Adam
Yeah.
58:47
Drew
You ought to look at it because they apparently bring back the people that she has selected as not worthy of being Hilton. And you look at the people with interesting sort of-
58:56
Adam
Looks like a-
58:57
Eddie Griffin
Is the United Colors of Benetton.
58:58
Drew
It's a Benetton commercial, yeah. It's a very interesting group. And they're very interesting, like substantial people. No, no, no. No, those won't do.
59:05
Eddie Griffin
No, that's not a Hilton.
59:06
Adam
Maybe the problem is they put their name on it, and there's such a waspy family that you can't picture a Chinese chick being a Hilton.
59:14
Drew
You know what I mean? I'm not sure they should have gone down this path.
59:17
Adam
All right, well, I don't think the show, other than your wife watching, is doing gangbusters, is it?
59:22
Drew
I don't know, I'm just saying.
59:23
Eddie Griffin
I'll never stay in one of their hotels.
59:25
Adam
Stop talking to your wife about what she watches on TV, Drew, please. Poisons your mind. Izzy?
59:30
Uh-huh?
59:31
Adam
You're 17?
59:33
Caller
Uh-huh.
59:34
Adam
All right.
59:35
Okay.
59:36
Adam
Speaking of Jewish bronze. What's up, Izzy? No?
59:39
No, I'm not Jewish.
59:40
Adam
No, usually Izzy. Wow. Is that short for something?
59:45
Isabella.
59:46
Adam
Oh, they just call you Izzy, huh? All right. What's up?
59:50
Drew
Izzy's trying to wake up, Adam, relax.
59:52
Adam
Sorry, baby.
59:52
Drew
It's two in the morning out there.
59:53
No, no, no. I'm just really nervous. So, I do film work. I'm in an art program and I do film work. And I have a video camera. And I lent it to my dad a little while ago because he had to tape a presentation for work. And so then today I was going through my videotapes, trying to find one that I could tape over to work on a film I'm working on. And I found my dad and I was going through it. And then on the tape in the middle of his presentation, it looked like he taped over. And it was of the girl that lives across the street. And he was like taping through her window. And then I went through a few other tapes. Then I found like one of her like outside washing her car. She's like in her bikini.
1:00:39
Drew
Oh, it's like novelty weird.
1:00:40
Adam
Wow. How old is this girl?
1:00:43
She's like 20. Not much older than me.
1:00:47
Eddie Griffin
How old is your dad?
1:00:50
47, 48.
1:00:51
Eddie Griffin
47, he's going through a mid-life crisis. Yeah. He's just being a voyeur. It's not really a peeping time. It's more of a watching dad.
1:01:01
Drew
Is mom around?
1:01:02
Yeah.
1:01:03
Drew
Your mom is still around?
1:01:04
Yeah, but I didn't know if I should talk to her or not. Because my dad and I are really close and we get along really well. Did dad drink? He used to.
1:01:12
Drew
He's a recovered alcoholic. I'm not sure. You got to check on his recovery.
1:01:16
Adam
See if he's drinking again?
1:01:16
Drew
It's an alcoholic move. I got to tell you.
1:01:18
Adam
Well, she's going to wash a car in her bikini and he's going to stand in a video camera. I mean, you got to turn it on.
1:01:24
Drew
Is he going to meetings still?
1:01:25
No, he hasn't gone to meetings in about two years.
1:01:28
Drew
It's time for him to go to some meetings. He got to get hooked back here.
1:01:31
Adam
Now, do you think he's drinking again or he's just starting to slide?
1:01:33
Drew
He is either drinking or he's about to. This is what that is. Because this is all the secretiveness, the clandestine quality, and the arousing nature of this. All that is alcoholic behavior. So let's take it back to the program.
1:01:46
Adam
All right, but now, what's she easy to do?
1:01:50
Drew
I think she can A, go to Alan on her allotine. B, she can tell her dad, question why. He's let the program drift. It's not a priority in his life. She's worried about him. She wants him to do well. She noticed him sort of changing as he loses the priority in recovery.
1:02:03
Eddie Griffin
As far as you know, has he always been faithful to your mom?
1:02:07
Drew
Even when he was drinking?
1:02:08
Well, he believes that if she had left him, she left him for a few months when he was in recovery. And he believes that if she had left him and not come back to him, then he'd probably be dead, which none of us doubt, you know. He kind of really went through the recovery because of me and my mom.
1:02:27
Drew
Well, sometimes that's not a great reason to go through recovery. He's got to do it for himself a little bit.
1:02:31
Adam
But listen, Izzy, stop thinking so much about your mom and your dad and their relationship. Now, your dad didn't make amateur porn film or anything. He just, you know, he turned it on the neighbor.
1:02:44
Eddie Griffin
He's just watching some young panics.
1:02:46
Adam
Guys, look, I got to tell you, you give a guy a video camera, it's like giving a criminal a gun, just wait and see how long it takes before he uses it on someone. Do you know what I mean? Guys in video cameras, here's the point, Drew. What percentage of 18-year-old guys who have girlfriends who they're having sex with, could you give a video camera to who wouldn't have the idea that I should film us having sex?
1:03:11
Drew
What, percentage?
1:03:12
Adam
Yeah.
1:03:13
Drew
Wouldn't have that idea?
1:03:14
Adam
Yeah.
1:03:14
Drew
Zero.
1:03:15
Adam
Zero.
1:03:16
Drew
Zero.
1:03:16
Adam
Right. Now, if a guy hides it in the hamper and then puts it on the internet, that makes him a bad guy.
1:03:23
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, you got to watch him.
1:03:24
Adam
It's hard to indict a guy who does what? Now, he's not 18.
1:03:30
Drew
He's 47, he's married, he's got a 17-year-old daughter, and he lacks enough about it to believe in her tapes.
1:03:37
Adam
Now, that's where I blame him.
1:03:38
Eddie Griffin
Midlife crisis.
1:03:40
Adam
Yeah. But I'm just saying, if you saw some hot neighbor chick putting a coat of carnauba on the Celica, and you're looking out through your window, and you're looking at the video camera on the foot of your bed, how long would it take for you to pick it up?
1:03:54
Drew
By the way, we don't see much that midlife stuff anymore because most people get married in their 30s or late 20s, and they do their ass when they're in their 20s. They're not worried about it. Yeah, they're not. Right.
1:04:05
Eddie Griffin
You know, so you've been, how long have your parents been married?
1:04:07
Adam
No, I'm done with her.
1:04:09
Eddie Griffin
Oh.
1:04:09
Adam
I don't want to talk to her anymore.
1:04:10
Drew
Talk about Jets again.
1:04:12
Adam
Yeah, I got things to show you.
1:04:13
Eddie Griffin
Tell you about those Jets.
1:04:14
Adam
I got things to show you on the internet.
1:04:16
Drew
Me? Oh, Eddie.
1:04:17
Adam
Eddie.
1:04:17
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
1:04:18
Adam
Oh, yeah. I'm going to show you things that are going to blow your mind.
1:04:20
Eddie Griffin
Hit me with the RC Jets.
1:04:21
Adam
You thought you knew, but you don't know.
1:04:23
Eddie Griffin
Uh-oh. Look out.
1:04:24
Adam
This is going to be big. This will be a big day for you.
1:04:26
Eddie Griffin
There's nothing like new knowledge.
1:04:27
Adam
And now that you got a couple of ducats to rub together from doing this, do Spigalow, too, you may be buying one of these.
1:04:33
Eddie Griffin
Yes, indeedy.
1:04:34
Adam
Evan? Yes.
1:04:37
Drew
What are they in Holland?
1:04:38
Eddie Griffin
Ducats?
1:04:39
Adam
I don't know.
1:04:40
Drew
Like Gilders.
1:04:41
Eddie Griffin
No.
1:04:41
Drew
Gilders, right?
1:04:42
Eddie Griffin
No, it's the Euro now.
1:04:43
Adam
Oh, now it's the Euro, yeah. Evan?
1:04:46
Yes.
1:04:46
Adam
22.
1:04:47
Yes, I am.
1:04:48
Adam
What's up?
1:04:50
Question for Dr. Drew. What's going on? Eddie loved you and the new guy.
1:04:54
Eddie Griffin
I appreciate it.
1:04:55
All right.
1:04:56
Drew
My kids were huge undercover brother fans. Oh, yeah. I try to understand what 12-year-old white kids are thinking, how they relate. They just think it's a funny thing. They've never thought about it in their entire lives.
1:05:06
Eddie Griffin
Seventies, man. The Afro.
1:05:08
Adam
Yeah.
1:05:08
Drew
Well, I can relate to it because we lived it.
1:05:11
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. Now, what's-her-name was in that smoking hot, enhanced her ass on the billboard. Yes, it is. Denise Richards. Nice. Go ahead, Evan.
1:05:22
Caller
Okay. I got a problem with my penis. It curves downwards. I mean, it's like Gonzo's nose basically.
1:05:34
Drew
Who's Gonzo?
1:05:35
Adam
SpongeBob?
1:05:36
Eddie Griffin
Oh. Gonzo. No, it's from Sesame Street.
1:05:39
Adam
Oh, that nose.
1:05:40
Eddie Griffin
A little purple guy.
1:05:41
Drew
You mean Squidward's nose.
1:05:43
Adam
Squidward's nose, too.
1:05:44
Caller
Yeah. I mean, and I kind of want to correct this. I mean, are there any exercises or, you know, can I see like a, you know...
1:05:52
Drew
Has it always been like that?
1:05:54
Caller
Yeah, it's always been like this.
1:05:55
Drew
Okay. There's a couple things. One, that downward direction is basically the direction that a woman's vagina goes, and I've always suspected that that wouldn't necessarily be a disadvantage, the downward curve. However, we have a plastic surgeon that comes in here and says, oh, and the women complain about pain with that. So if you have pain with your partner, it is something you got to do something about.
1:06:14
Adam
I think they look bigger when they go that way. Someone's smoking it on him. Evan, you smoke a lot of weed?
1:06:23
Caller
No, I don't.
1:06:23
Drew
No, that's just allergic laugh.
1:06:26
Adam
Oh, really?
1:06:26
Drew
It's atopic.
1:06:29
Caller
I just have a chronic cough and stuff, that's all.
1:06:31
Drew
Right, you're atopic. You have asthma and stuffy nose and stuff.
1:06:33
Adam
That's why they call that atopic?
1:06:35
Drew
Yes, atopic.
1:06:36
Adam
Really?
1:06:37
Drew
Yes, you got to differentiate that from the pot laugh.
1:06:39
Adam
If Eddie had that, he wouldn't take any medication.
1:06:41
Drew
No, it's the man's stuff. He could smoke pot though.
1:06:43
Adam
Trying to poison him.
1:06:44
Eddie Griffin
But I understand, maybe you need to jack upward.
1:06:47
Adam
Yes.
1:06:48
Drew
Well, in fact, you can sort of work things in that direction. The vitamin E, 800 units a day, Adam hates when I say this, but can't approve. This is basically Peyrona's disease, and the only ultimate correction for this is surgery. You'd have to see somebody that has experience in doing these procedures.
1:07:04
Adam
Yes, well, he's calling from Wisconsin, so I'm sure there's plenty of urologists who do plastic surgery in Wisconsin. It's the Badger State for Christ's sake.
1:07:13
Drew
Well, let's give them the Durex Condom Pack.
1:07:15
Adam
All right. Evan, I'll tell you what, hang on for a second there, buddy, because one lucky person tonight, and his name happens to be Evan, is going to win himself a Durex Party Pack. The Party Pack includes CDs. We figured out it was Hubestank and the Wicked, the what? The Killers. Yeah. Here's the thing about engineer Chris. He didn't talk in the microphone before he was leaving, and now he's sure as hell ain't going to start talking in the microphone. Killers and Hubestank. Also, we're going to give you money and you're going to get poker set.
1:07:49
Caller
Right on.
1:07:49
Adam
You're getting some Durex Condoms. That's good. You must be 18 years older to win.
1:07:54
Caller
That's sweet.
1:07:55
Adam
Yeah. Brought to you by Durex. There's sex. And then, engineer Chris?
1:08:01
Eddie Griffin
There's Durex.
1:08:02
Adam
Yeah, buddy.
1:08:04
Eddie Griffin
All right.
1:08:05
Adam
Great Eddie Griffin is here tonight. We're going to take ourselves a quick break. Deuce Bigelow, European Gigolo.
1:08:10
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
1:08:11
Adam
Coming out the 12th, Friday. It's in wide release, I might add.
1:08:16
Eddie Griffin
The premiere is in Las Vegas at the Palms Hotel. Oh, I imagine you're going to have fun there.
1:08:23
Adam
Wow.
1:08:23
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
1:08:24
Adam
It's going to be good for you, right?
1:08:25
Eddie Griffin
Yes, indeedy, feed to needy.
1:08:27
Adam
Well, I'm going to put you on the internet. We're going to do a little shopping, all right?
1:08:32
Eddie Griffin
Door rags.
1:08:32
Adam
All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
1:08:37
Hello, who is this?
1:08:39
Drew
This is Loveline.
1:08:40
Caller
1-800-LOVE-191. Loveline will be right back.
1:09:07
Adam
Hey, everybody.
1:09:09
Eddie Griffin
Oh, wait a minute.
1:09:10
Adam
I think Eddie may have snuck in the S-word.
1:09:14
Eddie Griffin
No, I think I was out.
1:09:16
Adam
Yeah, you were close. All right. You were close. Eddie Griffin is here. Are we starting again? All right. Anderson. I like Anderson because when a guest or a caller cusses, he takes it very personally.
1:09:32
When I say three, two, one, go.
1:09:34
Adam
Yeah.
1:09:35
Drew
We heard the go after the S-word. Right.
1:09:38
Adam
Yeah, about the same time.
1:09:40
Eddie Griffin
Where is he at?
1:09:41
Adam
Mr. Griffin is in that building. Yeah.
1:09:43
Eddie Griffin
Oh, okay.
1:09:44
Thank you.
1:09:45
Adam
Best news of the day for you.
1:09:46
Drew
Mr. Griffin is a raconteur, genius.
1:09:49
Adam
Not only that, but his creativity cannot be confined. He's like a wild stallion. You know what I mean? You can't bridle him and put him in a cage.
1:10:00
Eddie Griffin
What are you talking about?
1:10:01
Drew
Why would you want to?
1:10:02
Adam
You wouldn't.
1:10:03
Eddie Griffin
There's no saddle.
1:10:04
Adam
The majestic beauty of him running across the American frontier. That's Eddie Griffin.
1:10:11
Drew
He's coming on your show. Relax.
1:10:12
Adam
Okay. Come on, buddy. I'll be there. I need a guess. So far, I got a crow expert. That's all. I swear to God, it's all I got booked on my show is a crow expert.
1:10:23
Eddie Griffin
How are you a crow expert?
1:10:26
Adam
Well, number one thing you're an expert at is not getting light. Crow experts come second because you get laid, you ain't an expert at anything. You're an expert at getting light. Guys that get some poon tang early and often, they don't become experts at anything.
1:10:40
Eddie Griffin
They're not really watching crows.
1:10:42
Adam
Yeah. I oftentimes think that some people become experts in things that they know no one else is an expert in. So all you got to do is learn five things about it, and everyone leaves you alone. There's nobody who knows more about crows than you do, because there's no one who knows anything about crows.
1:10:58
Eddie Griffin
There's nobody's interested in it.
1:11:00
Adam
If you're a doctor, you run into other doctors, they start calling you out, you're screwed. Now, whatever you do, I don't care if it's play the guitar, tell a joke, or be a physician, there's somebody who knows as much or more as you do, and they're willing to debate you on it. When you're a crow expert, everyone leaves you alone. You'll never find one at a party. You'll be the only crow expert at the party.
1:11:19
Eddie Griffin
It's kind of like that jet engine on the model aircraft.
1:11:23
Adam
That's right. I get to bring it up at a party. No one can question me. Yeah. Jennifer.
1:11:29
Hello.
1:11:30
Adam
Eddie's interest has peaked.
1:11:31
Caller
That is clear.
1:11:33
Adam
Go ahead, Jennifer.
1:11:34
Hey, Dr. Drew. I just want to say I love your show Strictly Sex.
1:11:38
Drew
Thanks, Jennifer.
1:11:38
Wow. What's up, Eddie?
1:11:41
Eddie Griffin
What's going on, Jennifer?
1:11:43
I just have a question. This happened like two or three weeks ago. I went to the doctors and I got, you know, tested and everything. And they told me that I had got like I had transmitted chlamydia like for my boyfriend. And I didn't like sleep around. And when he went to the doctors, they said like he didn't have it or something. Is there any way that it could have, you know?
1:12:16
Drew
Well, had you been with anyone before him?
1:12:19
I have, but it was always safe. And I mean, I don't know why like, you know, he didn't have it.
1:12:28
Drew
All right, well here's the-
1:12:28
Adam
How long can chlamydia hang out?
1:12:30
Drew
It can hang out for quite a while in women. And it can be non, it can hang out and not be contagious. So it's possible you've been harboring it for a while and really never transmitted to him. That's a possibility. Another possibility is that the test is wrong. Another possibility is that he had it, gave it to you, then it resolved in him somehow. Maybe it's antibiotics or something for something else. And for you, it kind of kept going.
1:12:53
Eddie Griffin
And another possibility is he went and took his test and didn't tell you the real results.
1:12:57
Drew
That's another possibility. But the fact is that the screening for chlamydia is actually, there's a fair amount of false positive in that. But the consequence of missing it is so great, meaning infertility, and the treatment is so easy. It's a single dose of azithromycin. You might as well just suspect that's what it was. Both of you take it and just be done with it.
1:13:17
Adam
All right.
1:13:18
Yeah, we both took the medicine and everything for it.
1:13:21
Drew
I wouldn't try to, I would certainly keep my eyes open for the possibility that he cheated, but don't freak out about it.
1:13:27
Adam
Well, is he the kind of guy who would do that or not?
1:13:31
No, he actually accused me.
1:13:35
Drew
That's a quick diabolical strategy.
1:13:37
Eddie Griffin
The first part of guilt is to point the finger in the opposite direction.
1:13:42
Drew
Is to blame.
1:13:43
Adam
Right. That's right. That's right. Whenever you point the finger, there's four pointing back, there's really three and the thumb's going off to the side.
1:13:52
Drew
It's just worth three. Plus the other hand could be curved too.
1:13:55
Adam
Well, yeah, if you were wearing, like if you just had the other hand on your belt or something, it would probably be. There's eight fingers. There's probably eight. Then the thumb, it's not technically a finger, but it's an opposable thumb. Is it a finger?
1:14:08
Drew
Yeah.
1:14:09
Adam
It is? It's a digit. Okay. The point is, anytime you point the finger, Jennifer, there's a minimum of three fingers pointing back at you, or the possibility of up to seven or eight. Okay.
1:14:23
Drew
Depending how you do the counting.
1:14:24
Adam
Depending on where your other hand is.
1:14:26
Drew
Plus, other people may actually be pointing back to you.
1:14:28
Adam
Well, that's a good point. Because they go, whenever you point a finger, there's three pointing out. But what if you have like four A-holes standing next to you, they're pointing at you too? You got to count their fingers, right? But you deduct the ones of theirs that are pointing back at them?
1:14:40
Drew
No.
1:14:41
Adam
Okay.
1:14:41
Drew
No, I don't count those.
1:14:42
Adam
All right. Here's the thing. I'm starting to think, you'll know if your guy is cheating, usually because he's a guy, like 18-year-old guys cheat because they can't. Yes, that's right. Like if he's a guy who women-
1:14:58
Drew
A lot of guys are that. We're not even just 18-year-olds. Especially 18, 20-year-old guys.
1:15:02
Adam
Yes. If you're a guy who women like, and you know women like you, and you have any kind of freedom at all, and any kind of game at all, you may be doing some cheating at 18. I'm trying to think of the 18-year-old guy who has chicks that are into him in general and just refuses to ever take any bait. Plus, 18-year-old chicks always have friends that are 17 or 18 that are looking to screw with them and get the guy.
1:15:28
Drew
That's true.
1:15:29
Adam
And then tell them about it. All right. Let's talk to-
1:15:32
Eddie Griffin
Maybe a girlfriend.
1:15:33
Adam
That's awesome, right? Jason? Yeah. 29? Yeah. What's up?
1:15:39
Drew
88 minutes on hold.
1:15:40
Adam
88 minutes on hold. God love you. I'd give you out that Durex Party Pack, but I already gave it to a caller with Peroni scissors. Go ahead, Jason.
1:15:48
Drew
Are you a Mormon?
1:15:49
Yes, I am.
1:15:50
Adam
All right. It was awesome. You didn't see Drew's lips move, did you? He's calling from Salt Lake. Go ahead.
1:16:00
I don't know if this is a, what type of rash or what this is. It's kind of like a jock itch type of deal, except there's absolutely no, there's no rash, there's no flaking, there's no discoloration, there's nothing, and sometimes it'll go a week, and I think, oh great, it's gone, but then it flares up as far as itching. You know, again, nothing visible, but it itches, and the more itches, the worse it makes it, so I'll leave it alone, and I'm just wondering, you know, I got some STD, do I got, you know, what's going on there?
1:16:34
Eddie Griffin
Had you went in and had it looked at by a physician?
1:16:38
No, not yet, I'm actually going tomorrow, and I thought, well, I'll call and get to Dr. Drew's opinion because, you know, the expert man there and Is that a summer thing you think?
1:16:48
Drew
It's not STD, that's for sure, because you'd see things if there were an STD there.
1:16:53
It's been going on for a year or two.
1:16:55
Drew
Yeah. Are you sort of obsessive-compulsive otherwise?
1:16:59
No.
1:17:00
Drew
No? I've seen this a couple of times, people where they get this sort of scrotal itching, and you can't ever find a reason for it. Sometimes it's actually prostate inflammation and other things.
1:17:10
Adam
Oh, really?
1:17:10
Drew
Your genital tract sort of cause some inflammation in that area.
1:17:14
Adam
Yeah. But this isn't jock itch.
1:17:16
Drew
You'd see the red there. Obviously, someone should treat him as though it were, just to be sure. Yeah. Maybe give some antifungal creams or pills, and then beyond that, really might be about seeing a urologist and then that's negative.
1:17:27
Eddie Griffin
Maybe he's allergic to the soap.
1:17:29
Drew
Well, but you should see that typically. Be that as it may, an allergic, it's something like Lotrazone creams, something that would cover the allergies and the yeast and the fungus.
1:17:38
Adam
Should it keep it dry down there?
1:17:39
Drew
Keep it dry, obviously, but more often than not, this also is sort of an obsessive compulsive thing. They start scratching and scratching, and that of course makes it itch.
1:17:47
Adam
What's up? You wash your hands a lot?
1:17:50
When they get dirty, I mean, I'm not scratching down there all the time, it's just every now and then, you know, a bit of an itch, I'll scratch down there, and I know if it'll make it itch more. You know, again, I try to ignore it, because it's like I don't want to inflame it or...
1:18:02
Adam
But you're not, what do you do for a living?
1:18:05
Electrical work.
1:18:06
Drew
Are you a Mormon? Are you exposed to anything that could be causing allergies?
1:18:13
Not that I can think of.
1:18:14
Eddie Griffin
Because I've heard about this with a lot of Mormons.
1:18:17
Adam
Yeah, what kind of electrical work do you do?
1:18:20
Mainly lighting.
1:18:22
Drew
That is very sensitive skin down there, it could be, you know, the soaps you're using in the detergents, or soap in the shower.
1:18:27
Eddie Griffin
Maybe it's one of the spectrums in the colors, you know, that is bothering you. Maybe you're allergic to red.
1:18:35
Adam
All right, two-year electrician?
1:18:37
Yeah.
1:18:39
Adam
Yeah? All right. Yep. What's the difference between Romax and BX?
1:18:45
Romax and BX? Well, I'm still apprenticing. I'm two years into it.
1:18:49
Adam
All right. It's amazing. Just proving my point that no one knows anything. All right. All right. Romax and EMT.
1:18:59
Okay. EMT, is that the one that's got the metal conduit around it already, the flexible metal conduit?
1:19:06
Adam
Well, no. That's BX.
1:19:08
That's BX.
1:19:09
Adam
Yeah. But yeah. Okay. So you doubled back and you're right. It came into your mind. It was just fine.
1:19:13
Drew
It's what Romax is.
1:19:15
Adam
He's got to know what Romax is. Jason, Romax?
1:19:21
Caller
What's that?
1:19:22
Adam
Romax, the wiring.
1:19:24
Caller
Romax, is that the plastic like within houses? Yeah.
1:19:28
Adam
There you go. That's a residence. He does commercial work.
1:19:30
Drew
I see.
1:19:31
Adam
All right. The point is he knows his business.
1:19:32
Drew
Okay.
1:19:33
Adam
Even though he's almost 30. You know what I'm saying?
1:19:36
Drew
Yeah.
1:19:37
Adam
Andrew, these guys are the guys coming to your house.
1:19:39
Drew
Oh, fantastic.
1:19:40
Eddie Griffin
Adam is a very well versed and knowledgeable young man. Well, I am impressed.
1:19:45
Adam
I'm no electrician, but I do know the building trade. Yes, indeed. I hang around as long as I do. Yeah. I come over and throw a remod on your kitchen. Take a look around.
1:19:57
Eddie Griffin
I want to adjust the way it is.
1:19:59
Adam
Yeah. You sure?
1:20:00
Eddie Griffin
No remod. I'm good.
1:20:01
Adam
All right. Come on, buddy. Fight me over. Take a look around. You have any home improvement questions?
1:20:06
Eddie Griffin
None at all.
1:20:06
Adam
You're good?
1:20:07
Eddie Griffin
I'm good.
1:20:08
Adam
Let's see. You should be remodeling. You're just coming off a big movie, flush with success.
1:20:13
Drew
He's buying a jet.
1:20:14
Adam
Oh, yeah. That's right.
1:20:15
Eddie Griffin
Yeah. RC jet.
1:20:17
Adam
Ronnie?
1:20:18
Hi.
1:20:19
Adam
You're 26?
1:20:20
Caller
Yes.
1:20:20
Eddie Griffin
12,000.
1:20:21
Adam
Ronnie's a hot name for a chick.
1:20:24
Caller
Thank you.
1:20:25
Adam
Yeah. It's a good name. What's up?
1:20:28
Caller
I get used for sex a lot, pretty much ever since I lost my virginity and I'm 26 now. Because of that, I've changed my approach with different guys, trying to figure out how to avoid that. Even though I've done different things in dating, it happens to me anyway.
1:20:51
Drew
Why do we define our terms here? What does that mean to be used for sex?
1:20:55
Caller
Either the guy dumps me right after we have sex, or the whole focus of the relationship will shift to the sex.
1:21:05
Drew
Well, then you don't want to have a relationship with a male then, I guess.
1:21:08
Adam
Yeah. Because they all shift. As a matter of fact, it never was shifted to the other side. We just pretended it was that way so we could shift to the sex. You act like we shift to the sex. We never left the sex. Yeah. Uh-oh. You multi-orgasmic, Ronnie?
1:21:25
Caller
Sometimes.
1:21:26
Adam
Sometimes.
1:21:27
Eddie Griffin
How quick do the panties come down? Is this the first night?
1:21:31
Caller
That's the thing. It depends. I've done the first night thing.
1:21:34
Eddie Griffin
No, depends on diapers for old people.
1:21:38
Caller
But I've also done the after a while thing. That's what I'm saying. No matter what I do, it always ends the same way.
1:21:45
Adam
Yeah. But you're running with the wrong guys. Let me explain something, Ronnie. I had to give the ladies a speech last week or maybe it was this week. I don't know what date is. The point is, you guys complain because every guy you're with just wants one thing. These are all Casanovas. They talk you out of your underpants and then they love you and leave you. There are plenty of guys out there who'd be more than happy to hang in and hang out, but you ain't interested in that guy. Why? He's not exciting. That's a steady, boring guy. He's not fast. He's not dangerous. He doesn't have a rap and you ain't attracted to him. So, how are you going to find a guy you're attracted to, who's also not some lethario who just comes in and gets your panties off? That guy don't exist because there's a mathematical problem here. You understand? The guy you ain't attracted to, that's the guy who's going to hang out and father your kids.
1:22:39
Eddie Griffin
And one plus one can equal three.
1:22:41
Adam
It's not that those guys don't exist, there's millions of them.
1:22:45
Drew
You're not attracted to them.
1:22:45
Adam
You're not attracted to them.
1:22:46
Eddie Griffin
In the hood we call it thug love.
1:22:49
Adam
That's right.
1:22:49
Eddie Griffin
You know, the answer to thug, he's dangerous, you know, you like the danger of the guy.
1:22:53
Drew
Is that true, Ronnie?
1:22:54
Caller
No, like I'll admit when I was younger, I would fall for that a lot, but now I go for more down to earth guys, I would say, and they still try, like they still try to get away with as much sex as they can.
1:23:08
Drew
That's all guys.
1:23:09
Eddie Griffin
How down to earth is this guy? Is he acting down to earth?
1:23:13
Adam
That's what he's doing.
1:23:14
Eddie Griffin
Because you're coming from a point of chasing this one particular kind of thug guy, then you're saying you're going after the down to earth guy, but obviously this guy is playing down to earth guy.
1:23:25
Drew
I agree with Eddie because if you're super attracted, he has to be the bad guy.
1:23:30
Adam
That's right.
1:23:31
Drew
Because you're attracted to him.
1:23:32
Adam
You will be attracted to true down to earth guy.
1:23:35
Caller
Subconsciously, I know that he's really not down to earth.
1:23:38
Drew
It's not even subconsciously. You're attracted to abusive, unavailable, high risk guys. If you want to find somebody that's going to be more available for a relationship, it has to be not quite so attractive to you. Go to a guy that you're attracted to but not super attracted to.
1:23:52
Adam
Don't even use the term down to earth because all down to earth suggests is a guy who looks good and has a good ramp and has a nice set of wheels, but he's really down to earth. Yeah, guys who work at circle Ks and drive mopeds, no one describes as down to earth, they're lying on the ground. They don't have to be grounded, they're planted in it. You know what I mean? But when you take, now that's what you do, it's like, the high flying guy. He's a millionaire, he's a celebrity, he's a playboy. He's really down to earth. No, he's a millionaire, he's a celebrity.
1:24:23
Eddie Griffin
He's a playboy.
1:24:24
Drew
Who knows how to rap.
1:24:25
Adam
Who knows how to make you think he's down to earth.
1:24:28
Eddie Griffin
Go after Bill Gates.
1:24:30
Drew
Just again, not super attract. Cause your radar's kind of bent.
1:24:33
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
1:24:34
Drew
And so the stuff you're super attracted to is going to be the dangerous stuff. It's not the, I'm not telling you to settle. I'm just saying learn to read your attractive patterns.
1:24:42
Adam
Learn not to trust themselves.
1:24:44
Drew
Well, if you have the patterns like Ronnie, then you're happy with it.
1:24:47
Adam
Everybody in our society is all built around talking people into trusting themselves. Well, if you made a bunch of F-up decisions, you've got a couple of divorces, you've had some run-ins at work, you've had a bad life, do not trust yourself. Trust the smart people that are telling you what to do. You trust yourself has gotten you into this s-hole.
1:25:06
Drew
I bet even the Ronnies of the world and the people that shouldn't trust themselves will have a little voice, a little instinct in them that when they listen to it is really there. Telling them what's happening.
1:25:15
Adam
That little voice is how they know they're turned on.
1:25:17
Eddie Griffin
She just said that she knows deep inside that the guy's no good.
1:25:22
Adam
Right.
1:25:22
Eddie Griffin
So just listen to that little voice and turn the volume up on it.
1:25:26
Adam
Or make it a bigger voice. Eddie Griffin is in studio tonight. Deuce Bigelow, European Gigolo. Out in theaters on Friday the 12th. We'll take a quick break. Be right back after this. Yeah, everybody, it's Love Line. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Rob Schneider in here tomorrow night. Pennywise in here on Thursday night. The great Eddie Griffin, the genius.
1:26:08
Eddie Griffin
And can I say Rob is ridiculously funny. Y'all gonna have fun tomorrow.
1:26:17
Drew
Oh, we know Rob.
1:26:18
Adam
Oh, we know Rob. We're dear, dear, dear, dear.
1:26:21
Drew
Rob lives two blocks from my kids go to school.
1:26:24
Adam
Yeah, yeah. Genius lover, philanthropist, Rob Schneider in Tomorrow Night.
1:26:30
Drew
Maybe we'll appreciate Jets too. No.
1:26:32
Adam
In Tonight. No.
1:26:34
Drew
Not the way Eddie Griffin.
1:26:34
Adam
Not a chance. Not a chance. Dad was a fighter pilot.
1:26:38
Eddie Griffin
Yes. United States Air Force. Yes.
1:26:42
Adam
Flu F4 Phantoms in the gunships. Oh my God. Vanessa?
1:26:48
Eddie Griffin
Yes.
1:26:49
Adam
26?
1:26:50
Caller
Yes.
1:26:51
Adam
You work with sex offenders?
1:26:53
Eddie Griffin
I work with juvenile sex offenders.
1:26:55
Adam
All right.
1:26:56
Eddie Griffin
That's a good one. We were having a group therapy session. I actually work in the group home aspect. And there was one kid who was off to the side, sitting in the kitchen kind of where only I could see him. And he flashed his erect penis to me. Erect? Yeah, it was awful. It was really horrible. And-
1:27:19
Eddie Griffin
Sounds like my son.
1:27:20
Adam
Hold on a second there, sweetie. If you're going to work with sex offenders, you're going to see a little wang every once in a while.
1:27:27
Drew
But now that, that's not on the awful spectrum of what sex offenders do.
1:27:32
Eddie Griffin
No.
1:27:33
Adam
Right. If that's all they did, it would be an utopia.
1:27:36
Eddie Griffin
The kids you work with, are they on the receiving side of being sex offended or are these kids that are sexually abusing other children?
1:27:43
Adam
They're not victims, they're offenders, right?
1:27:45
Eddie Griffin
Okay, well most of them are victims also, but they're all-
1:27:48
Drew
Oh, they start as victims.
1:27:49
Adam
They start as victims and they become offenders.
1:27:51
Eddie Griffin
So yeah, like Adam said, you're going to see some wang.
1:27:54
Adam
Yeah.
1:27:54
Drew
So-
1:27:54
Eddie Griffin
You know, mostly I'm desensitized to all this by now. I've been there a year, but I've never seen one before. I mean, I've heard it all, but I've never seen that.
1:28:03
Eddie Griffin
First time of everything.
1:28:04
Adam
Yeah.
1:28:05
Eddie Griffin
Yeah. Well, every time I try to have any kind of sexual thought or anything like his face, it pops in my head and more than his face.
1:28:13
Drew
Why do you think you chose to work with sex offenders?
1:28:16
Eddie Griffin
Well, that would probably be a really long story, but-
1:28:18
Adam
Yeah. That involves abuse?
1:28:21
Drew
Yeah, it involves your own history.
1:28:22
Adam
Or you're traded on you?
1:28:23
Eddie Griffin
No, no, no. I've never been abused. But basically, I mean, the simple answer would be I'm really interested in psychology. It's a good way to get my foot in the door. The job was available. I have benefits and it's pretty awesome job, actually.
1:28:36
Eddie Griffin
Do you care about the children you work with or is it just a way to get to psychology?
1:28:41
Eddie Griffin
I very much care about the kids a lot.
1:28:43
Adam
Well, now, how old was this kid? Sixteen. Did you guys take any disciplinary action?
1:28:51
Eddie Griffin
Well, he gets placed on a certain type of status where he's not trusted at all. He has to stay within six feet of a staff for a couple of months and then he can go back to regular.
1:29:01
Drew
That's good. Do you do your own therapy?
1:29:05
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, actually I do. We have really, really extensive therapy. We go into everything, family dynamics, power and control, everything.
1:29:13
Adam
So what do you, well first off, Vanessa, I don't mean to be insensitive, but you're going to have to shake this one off.
1:29:22
Drew
Well, that's the whole point. Why are you having a post-traumatic stress reaction is something that, you know, you're working around, you understand it's part of the deal, it's what these people are doing. You know, it wasn't like you were held powerless.
1:29:33
Adam
It's like a butcher saying he saw a dead cow and he was traumatized.
1:29:36
Drew
Right, exactly.
1:29:37
Eddie Griffin
Well, you know, I'm not like hurt and I'm not scared or anything. It's just, I can't get at the image. It's not like I'm, you know.
1:29:42
Adam
Yeah, but that's-
1:29:43
Drew
That's the same thing.
1:29:44
Adam
It's becoming obsessive.
1:29:45
Eddie Griffin
It's a child penis. It's a 16 year old young penis. He has a problem.
1:29:50
Drew
He whipped it out.
1:29:51
Eddie Griffin
You've seen it. You gotta get over it. You gotta work with these. It's the job you chose.
1:29:55
Drew
Yeah. Right.
1:29:55
Eddie Griffin
And you have to work with these children. Otherwise, quit that job and go into a different kind of psychology.
1:30:01
Drew
Are you sexually active?
1:30:03
Caller
Yeah.
1:30:04
Drew
With?
1:30:04
Adam
You are.
1:30:05
Caller
Men?
1:30:07
Eddie Griffin
Yeah, I'm sexually active.
1:30:08
Drew
With men?
1:30:09
Caller
Yeah, yeah.
1:30:10
Drew
And seeing men naked and all that doesn't screw you up at all. It's never been a problem.
1:30:14
Eddie Griffin
Actually, quite the opposite. I actually consider myself a sex addict.
1:30:19
Drew
Alright, Vanessa, look.
1:30:20
Adam
What's going on?
1:30:20
Drew
Yeah, what's going on?
1:30:21
Eddie Griffin
Maybe you got a thing for the little 16-year-old Wang, you said.
1:30:25
Eddie Griffin
No.
1:30:25
Eddie Griffin
And you feeling like I might get busted for being with the next school teacher that took little Timmy.
1:30:31
Drew
The recipe for sexual addiction is childhood sexual abuse.
1:30:35
Adam
So, you're telling me that what happened here?
1:30:37
Eddie Griffin
I've thought about calling a lot because of this, but because of my job, I've thought about my past a whole time, and it seems like I have had something done to me because I can never be faithful to a boyfriend, I.
1:30:49
Drew
Look, in this business of having a post-traumatic stress reaction to seeing a penis, that means you had some antecedent trauma that gets re-triggered by this experience. So, you can count on there having something have happened.
1:31:01
Adam
Vanessa, just, yeah. It sounds like something's going on.
1:31:03
Eddie Griffin
I've talked about this with co-workers all the time, and it seems like I have, but I've asked my parents. I mean, I had a really good childhood, nothing. I mean, my dad was an alcoholic, but I mean, whose wasn't?
1:31:15
Caller
I mean.
1:31:16
Drew
Mine wasn't.
1:31:17
Adam
Mine wasn't. Eddie's was fighting violent. Yeah. He had a punch out over Nan Cook in 69.
1:31:22
Drew
Again, that kind of thinking is what I'm concerned about. It's like, I was-
1:31:25
Adam
Common dear to half-track.
1:31:27
Drew
Everyone's dad was an alcoholic, everyone was sexually abused.
1:31:30
Eddie Griffin
So I put that aside.
1:31:31
Drew
So I put that aside.
1:31:32
Adam
I was 65 early in the war.
1:31:33
Drew
You know, the fact is, you may have something you put aside you haven't really thought of in a long time, and all the evidence suggests something has happened.
1:31:41
Adam
Yeah.
1:31:42
Drew
And you just do your therapy. Just keep going.
1:31:44
Adam
All right. All right. Let's talk to Stephen as a question for Eddie. Stephen?
1:31:50
Caller
Hey, so Adam, the other thing you do with your show is get that bald-headed dude, the big pussy. You got to get a different warm up guy, man.
1:31:57
Adam
Oh, you're talking about Don Barres. Oh, boy. All right. Is this the same guy you just called?
1:32:02
Caller
Yeah, this is me.
1:32:03
Adam
Wow. You got a motor in you, buddy.
1:32:05
Caller
Yeah, man. You cut me out before I got the first one.
1:32:07
Eddie Griffin
From the comedy still.
1:32:08
Drew
Go ahead, quick. Give me a minute and a half.
1:32:09
Adam
Here we go.
1:32:10
Drew
Go.
1:32:11
Caller
Well, it's also it's really cold in there. You got to warm it up a little bit inside the audience because everybody's freezing.
1:32:17
Drew
Minute and a half, Steven. Minute and a half.
1:32:19
Eddie Griffin
Steven, do you have another question?
1:32:21
Caller
Just those three notes, but you cut me up.
1:32:25
Adam
I didn't wait for him to tell me to adjust the thermostat in the studio and to get rid of the audience.
1:32:30
Drew
You have awful instincts having hung up on him, Adam.
1:32:33
Caller
Yeah.
1:32:34
Drew
You really missed out on some very clever and key bits of direction.
1:32:38
Eddie Griffin
It's going to come back to haunt you.
1:32:39
Adam
Yeah. Awesome. Literally. Let's take a break.
1:32:42
Drew
Let's do it. That's a good idea.
1:32:43
Adam
Eddie Griffin in studio will be right back to wrap up and wrap down after this. Well, that's the show, everyone. I want to thank Eddie Griffin for coming here tonight, being such a sport.
1:33:39
Eddie Griffin
I want to thank you guys for having me.
1:33:41
Adam
Very incredible schedule to look forward to. Deuce Bigelow, European Gigolo, out on the 12th. That's right, Friday, the 12th of August, everybody. Rob Schneider in here tomorrow night, Pennywise Thursday night. And until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
