Love Line with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. Hey, everybody.
1:02
Adam
It's the Best Of Loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That's Dr. Drew. Hopefully, neither one of us are here because it's the Best Of. And we're all winners when we do the Best Of. We get to stay home. For me, I get to stare at the TiVo and get drunk. For Drew, he gets to follow his kids around and live his life vicariously. From the eyes of three young, beautiful triplets. So, and you guys get the Best Of Loveline. So, without any further ado, here it is, Best Of Loveline.
1:36
Yeah.
1:39
Adam
This radio man, get it on. Hey, Drew.
1:44
Drew
Yeah, Adam.
1:44
Adam
You know what I'm this close to doing, brother?
1:47
Drew
Will, watch out.
1:48
Adam
Watch out.
1:48
Drew
He will drop trow.
1:49
Adam
I will drop trow.
1:50
Drew
He's wild. He'll drop trow. Don't let him. He'll do it.
1:52
Drop, drop, drop. No, don't do it.
1:55
Adam
931. 31 after 9 o'clock. Will Sassone's studio tonight. Funny, funny man, man.
2:03
Caller
Thank you.
2:06
Adam
What? You want me to drop trow? I'll drop trow.
2:09
Drew
Ace, I don't want to drop trow, but I know you will.
2:11
Adam
Ma'am, ma'am.
2:12
Drew
Watch out, Will.
2:13
Adam
He will drop trow. I will drop trow.
2:15
Drew
We'll watch it. He's wild.
2:16
He will do it.
2:19
Adam
I like the morning DJ gets a little out of hand. I will drop trow, I will lube up my joint, I'll put it in your ear, and I will reach climax. 829.29. The homoerotic DJ that crosses the line every once in a while, he does it quickly and he gives a timeout every time, right when he gets to that point where he's going to get fired.
2:45
Drew
Right. Right. Or the traffic.
2:47
Adam
Let me tell you how I like to get pre-miserable. I like to start thinking about what I have to do Monday on Friday.
2:54
Drew
I think you were talking about when the Super Bowl ends.
2:56
Oh, no.
2:58
Adam
Why did you bring that up?
2:59
Drew
The day after the Super Bowl.
3:00
Adam
Oh, it's weird.
3:01
No hockey, we got to watch basketball.
3:03
Adam
It's such a letdown. It's like that feeling that as the Super Bowl party is breaking up, it's really bad when it's a bad game and it's sort of over in the midway through the third quarter and it's like you already start to put you someone you see the chicks are busting the chips already like things are and it's like this is it.
3:21
Last year with Carolina with it as an expansion team it just doesn't even feel like a real Super Bowl.
3:25
Adam
No, right.
3:26
What is that? You already get bummed.
3:28
Adam
That's another thing. Yeah, you want you want it to be, you know, Dallas Pittsburgh sort of thing. You don't want to be a couple of guys here. Oh, well, the guys were in the the fusion, the magenta, the teal guys in the cobalt. Yeah. And then the guy with just a black fist on their helmet. Yeah. That team screw whitey. Those guys like what? This looks like Canadians at best. Maybe Arena League stuff.
3:54
Drew
It does look like Arena Football.
3:56
Adam
What's with the teal? And here's what I'm sure they did. They talked to a bunch of retarded 15-year-olds and said, what's your favorite kind of teal? And they're like, all right, let's make every expansion team.
4:07
Drew
Well, they're trying to do it like the NBA did basically. Make everything teal.
4:11
I heard a fashion, some fashion dude or something covering, they're doing a sports thing about uniforms, best and worst uniforms. And this guy stuck up for Jacksonville Jaguars uniforms, which are some of the ugliest. Right. They're ridiculous. And he said in 10, 15 years, we're going to look back and they're going to be classic.
4:26
Adam
No. Here's what I think you do, especially when you enter the league, when you're an expansion team, instead of going, hey, everyone, look at me, I'm new, I'm bold, I'm an arena team. You should go old school. You should do a sort of a Coltsy kind of thing, just two colors, white, and that way you sort of slip in under the radar. It's like, you know what it's like?
4:48
Drew
No, I think it's like leather helmets.
4:50
Adam
That's that.
4:51
I was going to.
4:52
Adam
I wrote that. See, that's what's that word. You actually go back.
4:56
Drew
Yes, all the way back. No face guards, leather helmets and all white guys. Yeah.
4:59
Adam
Undersized, no, fat white guys.
5:01
Drew
You have gone too far. Forget it.
5:03
Adam
I don't care if you're competitive. I mean, old school.
5:06
Art Donovan. Bring him back.
5:08
Adam
Art Donovan, high top black cleats and no face mask.
5:12
Drew
Jerry Kramer.
5:13
Adam
That's right.
5:13
If I ever had a franchise, they'd be purple and brown. That would those would be the colors. Just the two colors that don't go together.
5:19
Adam
Yeah, they really don't.
5:21
Helmets have to be white.
5:22
Drew
Purple and brown.
5:24
You get a logo or a stripe, but you don't get both.
5:26
Drew
Maybe green numbers.
5:27
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. And the stripe doesn't continue into the pants. Not white, at least. It can be a thin one.
5:32
And cougar cats.
5:34
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. And you should pick a good animal. I agree.
5:38
And it has to be an animal. Have you noticed in the NFL, all the teams end with an S. There's no heat in the NBA.
5:45
Drew
Because they're a pack of animals.
5:46
Yeah. Everything has to be a something. Vikings.
5:49
Drew
Cowboys.
5:50
Adam
Yeah. And underutilized. Let me tell you, underutilized in NFL and sports in general. The hippos. Hippo. Dangerous animal.
5:59
Drew
No rhinoceros.
6:00
Adam
Hippos and rhinos. Hippos kill more people than snakes and bullets. Yeah. Turn me off. It's quick.
6:08
Drew
It's double atom.
6:08
Adam
Yeah. It's a love line. We had a little technical difficulty. That's why we had to run a Best Of. Well, you know you're hurting when your Best Of stars Will Sasso.
6:17
Drew
I like Will.
6:17
Adam
I like Will, too. But come on, Best Of. No, we got real.
6:20
Drew
The best of that they really reach for with 40 seconds to spare.
6:23
Adam
All right.
6:23
Drew
12 seconds to spare.
6:24
Adam
Phone number. Let's get the phone number out. We'll just start the show. 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. It is good to be back in studio tonight and we have a real celebrity in our ranks. Howie Mandel is here.
6:44
Howie Mandel
I am huge.
6:46
Adam
Hidden Howie is the name of the show. I guess we got to turn everything up.
6:50
Drew
They're all the way up. Everything is up, Anderson.
6:51
Howie Mandel
You hear that guy talking to you, right?
6:53
Drew
Yes.
6:54
Adam
Pull your mic.
6:55
Drew
Let's all speak right into our mics.
6:57
Howie Mandel
All right. I'm here.
6:59
Adam
Hidden Howie premieres on Bravo at 11 o'clock on August 18th.
7:04
Howie Mandel
Thursday.
7:05
Adam
Yeah, Thursday.
7:06
Howie Mandel
This coming Thursday.
7:07
Adam
This coming Thursday, August 18th.
7:09
Howie Mandel
The private life of a public news.
7:11
Adam
I have I've seen I've seen some spots for it. It looks good. I watch a fair amount of Bravo.
7:17
Drew
Actually, I do, too.
7:18
Adam
I watch Blow Out.
7:19
Drew
Yes, of course. It's my wife's favorite.
7:21
Howie Mandel
I think Bobby Brown.
7:22
Adam
Watch Bobby Brown. I see I see a little Polly Shore on there.
7:26
Howie Mandel
And I saw Polly Shore is not on Bravo.
7:28
He's on TBS.
7:29
Adam
Whatever. I'm usually drunk when I'm watching TV, I realize. And with the TiVo, I lose, you know, you don't identify the stations with the TiVo. It's just your show comes on next. You know what I'm saying?
7:41
Drew
By the way, the drunk thing is just an issue of probability.
7:43
Adam
Right.
7:44
Drew
What's a probability? You're not drunk when you're watching TV. I mean, it's, you know, be fair.
7:47
Adam
It's a good point. Howie also is in a movie called The Aristocrats, which is out. Well, it's coming out. It's out in New York. It's coming out here on Friday in LA.
7:58
Howie Mandel
It's been here.
7:59
Adam
Well, it says it opens wide. I'm sorry. It's going to spread on the 19th.
8:05
Howie Mandel
Right.
8:05
Adam
Right. Wide opening. It's been in the cool places, but it's going to open to the red states on the 19th.
8:12
Drew
When they'd go in there even late at night, the thing would be packed on those limited release theaters.
8:17
Howie Mandel
Yeah. It seems like we were doing really well.
8:20
Adam
I guess Sarah Silverman was in here on Thursday with Jimmy Kimmel. She probably explained a little about The Aristocrats.
8:26
Drew
They told the joke.
8:27
Adam
Oh, they did.
8:28
Drew
Yeah. I'd never heard.
8:30
Howie Mandel
She's amazing in the movie. She's really funny in the movie.
8:33
Adam
Yeah. She's a great-
8:33
Howie Mandel
I'm not talking- Are you talking to me when you're saying- Somebody keeps saying into the mic.
8:36
Drew
Anderson, when you give us direction, give it over the air.
8:39
Caller
I'm sorry. Howie, could you talk into the mic a little bit?
8:40
Adam
He's in the mic.
8:42
Howie Mandel
I can't get- You know what? I don't want to touch the mic, and I can't get any closer to the mic.
8:46
Adam
Oh, that's right. You can't touch the mic.
8:48
Howie Mandel
I can't touch the mic. I can't touch people.
8:51
Adam
How about touching the back of the mic?
8:52
Howie Mandel
Yeah, I can, but does it have to be closer to my mouth? Are they not hearing me? Here's what we'll do. We'll turn Adam down a little bit. Can we ask the audience to get closer to the radio?
9:00
Adam
That's a better plan.
9:01
Howie Mandel
I'd like to back up from the mic and I'd like everybody listening to get closer to the radio.
9:05
Caller
When you talk Howie and then Adam talks, I can't hear you at all.
9:07
Howie Mandel
That's the problem.
9:08
Drew
Well, that's always the case.
9:09
Howie Mandel
So can we ask Adam not to talk? Yeah, how about we have Adam turn down just a tad?
9:12
Adam
Well.
9:13
Howie Mandel
No, go ahead, Adam.
9:14
Adam
I'm like the voice of God.
9:15
Howie Mandel
But he's not closer than I am to the mic.
9:17
Adam
No. All right, let's... They've turned me down. There we go. Let's not focus on this. Let's put this ugliness behind us. Yes, the aristocrats.
9:27
Drew
Tell the joke again, because it's worth telling, I think.
9:29
Adam
Who, me?
9:29
Drew
Well, either of you, just because it's such a strange joke.
9:32
Adam
I don't know the joke.
9:33
Howie Mandel
Well, nobody knows the joke. The joke is made up.
9:35
Adam
I don't even know how the joke goes, though.
9:37
Drew
Well, that's what's peculiar.
9:39
Howie Mandel
The joke goes... The movie is based on this joke that has been in existence since Vaudeville that is told amongst comedians. And it's really very rarely, except in the movie, and there's been a few other times where it's told publicly or even being broadcast. And it's the actual art of telling a joke. And the telling of the joke is what's fun.
10:05
Drew
The point is the joke is nothing. It's a zero.
10:08
Howie Mandel
Nothing. It's about a guy comes into a... walks into a talent agent's office and he says, I got a great act. I want you to book this act. And the talent agent says, what's the act? And he says, it's a family act. It's my wife, my kids, my dog and I. We all come on stage and then the joke begins.
10:23
Drew
Then the joke begins. And it ends with... What do you call this act?
10:26
Howie Mandel
The Aristocrats.
10:27
Drew
That's it.
10:28
Howie Mandel
That's the joke.
10:29
Adam
Now, I had no idea what it was except for Gilbert Godfrey told it on the roast of Hugh Hefner in New York about four or five years ago.
10:38
Howie Mandel
Which is in the movie.
10:38
Drew
That's in the movie.
10:39
Adam
Oh, that is in the movie.
10:40
Howie Mandel
That tape is in the movie.
10:41
Adam
Now I'm going to see it. Yes. Yeah.
10:43
Drew
And that made you go see it?
10:45
Howie Mandel
But nothing else would make you go see it.
10:47
Drew
Because he's in it. Adam's in it then.
10:49
Adam
Yes. It's the wonderful Howie Mandel being in it. Yes. I'm going to go there.
10:53
Drew
But it's like giving a jazz musician five notes. They don't sound like much.
10:57
Howie Mandel
But in between the setup and the punchline, the object is to be as vile as you could possibly be.
11:04
Adam
Scatological, as vulgar.
11:05
Howie Mandel
Scatological, sexual, profane.
11:09
Drew
In terms of what the family is doing as part of this.
11:11
Howie Mandel
To each other. To each other, to, you know.
11:14
Adam
And the punchline is they're called the aristocrats.
11:16
Drew
Yes.
11:17
Howie Mandel
After they've been this vile. And not only is it to be as vile as you could possibly be, but it was also part of when I learned it and have heard it, was to stretch it out as long as you can possibly stretch it out. So to be vile and try to hold somebody's attention for, my record is like 41 minutes.
11:35
Adam
Wow. Oh, really? Wow. So you're a craftsman.
11:39
Howie Mandel
No, just annoying.
11:40
Adam
Well, I mean, you've known this. How long have you known the aristocrat's joke?
11:44
Howie Mandel
From the time I was 12, I learned it in different incarnations. But from the time I was 12, I started.
11:53
Adam
Really?
11:53
Howie Mandel
Somebody told me the joke and I started telling friends the joke.
11:58
Adam
Did you always know? Well, you got started early.
12:00
Howie Mandel
Not at 12.
12:01
Adam
No, but you got started early in comedy, right?
12:05
Howie Mandel
Yes, we got started. No, I was in my early 20s. Is that early?
12:09
Adam
Early 20s. No, it's not.
12:11
Howie Mandel
No, I'm 50. I'm going to be 50. I'm turning 50.
12:14
Adam
Wow. You look good.
12:16
Howie Mandel
You don't look so bad yourself.
12:18
Adam
Thanks, buddy.
12:18
Howie Mandel
Are you coming on to me? A little bit. Okay. No, I just started at 23. It was the first time I ever stepped on stage.
12:25
Adam
Oh, it was. All right.
12:26
Howie Mandel
I didn't know I wanted to be a comic, but I knew I wanted to annoy.
12:29
Adam
Here's why I say I assumed you started young, because Howie Mandel, people remember saying elsewhere, and they remember his stand up specials and all that kind of stuff. Talk show? Talk show. Seemed like a long time. Well, the talk show wasn't that long ago, really. But saying elsewhere.
12:45
Howie Mandel
But not memorable either.
12:46
Drew
No, I think people remember that.
12:48
Howie Mandel
Well, because you guys were on.
12:49
Adam
Let's not argue. 22 times. Now, here's the point. The point is, Howie Mandel has been around for a long time, and I assumed Howie Mandel was 40 years old.
13:00
Drew
Right.
13:01
Adam
So I assume he got started when he was 13. Instead of 23, I didn't know he was 50.
13:05
Drew
Right.
13:06
Howie Mandel
Right.
13:06
Howie Mandel
What a long-winded compliment. I did the reverse math.
13:09
Howie Mandel
I appreciate that.
13:10
Howie Mandel
Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, but there's nothing more fun and entertaining to a person than to be vile where it is inappropriate.
13:21
Howie Mandel
Right.
13:22
Howie Mandel
And that was always the, that's what you're supposed to do with that joke. You're supposed to be inappropriate. It should be told in a very inappropriate place to the people that probably wouldn't want to hear.
13:32
Howie Mandel
Wow.
13:33
Howie Mandel
That kind of material. And he's got 100. And when I say he, Paul Provenza and Penn Jillette have 100 people in our business talking about the joke or actually telling the joke. So go see the movie.
13:46
Adam
All right.
13:47
Drew
There's an interesting twist in the joke where somebody sets it up in a very aristocratic fashion.
13:52
Howie Mandel
Right.
13:52
Drew
And then the name is changed.
13:54
Howie Mandel
To a very vile, scatological title.
13:57
Adam
Wow.
13:58
Drew
Very interesting twist.
13:58
Adam
Oh, that's a nice twist.
14:00
Howie Mandel
And Sarah has a great twist on it where she is, it makes herself actually part of the joke. Yeah.
14:06
Adam
Well, yeah. She's a great, great stand up.
14:09
Howie Mandel
She really is.
14:10
Adam
And a great lady.
14:10
Drew
She's a bed wetter too.
14:11
Adam
Oh, well, was a bed wetter. Oh no, we got into, I've gotten into that many time with her.
14:16
Drew
Did she tell you a story about her going to see a therapist after they were trying to treat the bed wetting?
14:20
Adam
Wetting the sofa.
14:21
Drew
And the acupuncturist came running down the stairs, the psychiatrist had just hung himself.
14:25
Adam
Oh, really?
14:25
Drew
She's nine years old.
14:28
Adam
Her psychiatrist?
14:29
Howie Mandel
Yes, yes.
14:30
Adam
Where's the acupuncturist?
14:32
Drew
This is in New Hampshire. She was waiting in this little Victorian office building.
14:37
Adam
Really?
14:37
Drew
And one guy comes to come and climb, she's been waiting and waiting and waiting, a guy comes down the stairs sobbing.
14:44
Adam
He's the acupuncturist.
14:45
Howie Mandel
And she's there for bed wetting.
14:47
Drew
She's there, I don't know if it was bed wetting at that point, but she's maybe 12 or something.
14:50
Adam
She's there at the therapist for bed wetting. Wow, heavy.
14:55
Every time I look at my vagina, I want to punch somebody.
14:59
Adam
All right.
15:00
Drew
Ever since then, ever since. Wow, it's been her attitude.
15:03
Adam
Let's take some phone calls. I'm going to get a plug in for my own self, by the way. A little too late with Mwah.
15:09
Drew
Is that tonight?
15:10
Adam
On Comedy Central. No, it's tomorrow night.
15:12
Drew
Monday, yeah.
15:12
Adam
But you know.
15:13
Drew
But the rest of the country.
15:14
Adam
Rest of the country, yeah. Monday through Thursday, 1130 on Comedy Central. Tune in and see my nappy head in the flesh.
15:22
Howie Mandel
Monday through Thursday.
15:23
Adam
Monday through Thursday.
15:25
Howie Mandel
Oh, so you can watch me at 11 and then you at 1130.
15:27
Adam
I'm all out for half an hour.
15:28
Drew
Absolutely. And then me at 12. On Wednesday.
15:30
Adam
Wow.
15:31
Drew
What are you going to do at 12? I have a show on Discovery Health Channel called Strictly Sex.
15:35
Adam
It's been on for a number of months, Howie. Thanks.
15:37
Drew
Thanks for bringing that up. Makes me feel pretty good. By the way.
15:40
Howie Mandel
What are you doing at 12?
15:42
Drew
It's fine.
15:43
Adam
No, there's too many shows.
15:44
Drew
I wouldn't expect Howie Mandel.
15:45
Adam
I wouldn't. He's a big star. He doesn't have to watch.
15:48
Howie Mandel
I watched it. What I was doing is leading you into a plug.
15:51
Drew
Set me up.
15:52
Howie Mandel
Well, I have never missed an episode of Strictly Sex. Does Megan have a...
15:59
Adam
Megan.
16:00
Yes.
16:01
Adam
Megan.
16:02
Yes.
16:02
Adam
What's up?
16:04
Nothing. How are you?
16:05
Adam
Good.
16:06
Good.
16:09
I guess I had two questions. I told her one. First one was, I don't know if I think two or three nights ago, my boyfriend and I were having sex, and I don't know what exactly happened.
16:23
Drew
Megan, what are you doing right now while you're trying to speak to us? You like doing the dishes or something or running a treadmill?
16:29
Caller
No, I just ran down the stairs.
16:30
Adam
Okay.
16:31
Drew
Take a deep breath and let's out with it.
16:33
Adam
Let's pace it up.
16:34
Drew
Here we go.
16:34
Adam
We're not that interested.
16:36
Drew
Oh, okay. Sorry. Pretend we're not that interested. You're talking to somebody.
16:40
Adam
You're speaking in the cadence as if the audience is interested. We didn't come to see you in concert. We're in a hurry. Here's either we're huge fans or you're smoking hot, but both those are out the window.
16:53
Drew
We can't see her.
16:54
Adam
We can't see and we don't know who you are, so let's pace it up a little bit.
16:58
Howie Mandel
We don't have enough information to work on yet?
17:00
Adam
Right.
17:00
Drew
She hadn't told us the question. Here we go.
17:02
Howie Mandel
There is a question.
17:03
Caller
Yes, there is a question.
17:04
Howie Mandel
I thought she was just reporting in.
17:07
Caller
Instead of orgasming, I urinated. Oh.
17:11
Drew
Did you have an orgasm while that was happening?
17:13
Sarah? No.
17:15
Howie Mandel
Sarah? Is that you?
17:16
Drew
Silverman?
17:17
Howie Mandel
That's what I was thinking.
17:19
Drew
Good point.
17:19
Every time I look at my vagina, I want to punch somebody.
17:22
Adam
Yes, Megan, this happens all the time.
17:24
Drew
Are you? Well, yes, it does. It's called female orgasmic incontinence. But are you having an orgasm at the point in which you pee?
17:31
Caller
No, I did not. I didn't know that it happened until a few minutes later when I realized that everything was extremely... All right.
17:39
Drew
Have you ever had babies?
17:42
No.
17:44
Adam
So she didn't have the orgasm.
17:46
Drew
She just lost the urine, which happens...
17:48
Caller
That's never happened before.
17:49
Drew
I know. I understand, Megan, but that typically happens with people on medication or people who've had a bunch of babies where the pelvic... No... .architecture relaxed.
17:56
Adam
Yeah, I know. But hold on. When you're 18, you're talking about orgasmic problems. You don't have to do that. That's never happened before. How many years has a guy been on top of you? You're 18. If you're one of our callers, maybe six years tops. But of course, it's never happened before. Nothing ever happens before you're 18.
18:18
Howie Mandel
Right.
18:18
Drew
Yeah, we get that. That's why you're called.
18:20
Adam
Right.
18:20
Howie Mandel
Is this a medical problem?
18:22
Drew
Yeah. You're not on medication?
18:24
No.
18:25
Drew
Well, it's possible. Maybe you have a urinary tract infection. Maybe it was just one of those things that day. It doesn't have to mean anything serious, but it's typically a problem of women that have also stress urinary incontinence. You also lose your pee when you cough or laugh.
18:40
Howie Mandel
But how do you know that she peed? How do you know that maybe he peed in her, and when they were finished, she emptied out?
18:46
Drew
It's hard to do that when you're having an erection.
18:48
Adam
Aristocrats.
18:49
Drew
Yeah.
18:49
Adam
Yeah. Megan.
18:50
Drew
Be a good family act though.
18:52
Howie Mandel
I don't know.
18:53
Adam
Why don't you try having sex again to see what happens?
18:55
Howie Mandel
Okay. Okay. We'll wait right here.
18:57
Drew
I wouldn't worry about it. That would be the point. And it does happen sometimes. Again, as I said, usually women have had children though. So it might have looked. It might be urinary infection.
19:05
Howie Mandel
Maybe she had children.
19:06
Drew
My one concern is it could be urinary tract infection. So if you have pain when you urinate or burning or anything like that, just look into it.
19:11
Adam
Yeah. I heard in the news somebody crapped out a kid and didn't know it a couple of days ago.
19:16
Drew
Didn't know it?
19:17
Yeah.
19:19
Adam
I know.
19:19
Howie Mandel
What do you mean?
19:20
Drew
Was she left behind? The dragon behind?
19:22
Adam
It just didn't know she was pregnant.
19:24
Howie Mandel
I thought I was fat.
19:25
Adam
They gave birth. It happens.
19:27
Drew
It happens a lot. And believe me, that happens a lot. She was fat, whoever this is.
19:32
Adam
Oh yeah. They never worked that part into the story.
19:36
Drew
Yeah.
19:36
Howie Mandel
That's not an oddity. That's a lot of people just give birth and whoops.
19:40
Drew
I mean, it happens more than you would ever imagine. And it's usually very obese people who literally just thought they were fat but not get it.
19:47
Howie Mandel
Look, my crap is crying. My crap is crying.
19:53
Adam
Well, I don't want to get racist, but the color of the child may have been the same.
19:59
Howie Mandel
That's how we refer to it.
20:00
Drew
All right.
20:01
Adam
All right. I'm just saying, that's not the work of a Jew or an Asian.
20:04
Drew
The aristocrats.
20:05
Adam
This just isn't the work of a Jew or an Asian.
20:08
Drew
How dare you?
20:10
Adam
I'll tell you why.
20:11
Drew
I'm offended. And you're profiling.
20:13
Adam
Asians are svelte people. Jews, they're in the hospital every three weeks checking something out, so there's no way that's going to get past anybody.
20:20
Howie Mandel
No Jew has ever popped on a child by accident.
20:22
Adam
No, it's never happened.
20:24
Howie Mandel
It's always on purpose. It's a tax deduction.
20:27
Adam
Sarah?
20:29
Caller
Yes.
20:30
Adam
Howie, one of the times Howie was on the show, he was talking about how his dog went and dug up his child's foreskin and ate it.
20:38
Howie Mandel
Oh, yes. Brought it back to us. Well, yeah, it had to be the bris because it wouldn't.
20:44
Adam
Otherwise, it's a horrible ceremony.
20:45
Howie Mandel
Yes, we have a pit bull who wouldn't. No, it's just that the bris is the, you do that as part of the ceremony. You take the foreskin and you go out and you bury it in the yard. But my dog uncovered it and brought it back to us.
21:00
Adam
Wow.
21:01
Drew
During the ceremony?
21:02
Howie Mandel
Yes, actually during the ceremony. He played fetch when we didn't want him to.
21:05
Drew
That is now only the comedian's bris, mind you.
21:08
Adam
Yeah. I didn't know there was that part about burying it out in the yard.
21:13
Howie Mandel
You didn't know that?
21:13
Adam
I figured it'd be like what you do with a goldfish or something, like down the toilet or something. I didn't know what you did with the foreskin. Yeah. What's that?
21:21
Drew
Tentative Path Lab.
21:23
Adam
Now, nowadays, you should save it, right?
21:25
Howie Mandel
No, that is if you have it done in the hospital. But a lot of people have it done in their homes. Yes. It's usually done in the home with, there's little sandwiches, party sandwiches.
21:33
Adam
Yeah. No. I know. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
21:36
Howie Mandel
So it's part of the buffet.
21:37
Adam
You should send it to the pathologist lab.
21:39
Drew
Sure. Anything that comes off people. They just go look at it? Goes Path Lab.
21:43
Adam
So they can look at it or dispose of it?
21:45
Drew
Just identify it and catalog it and dispose of it. Yeah.
21:48
Adam
That's it. Incinerator?
21:49
Drew
Yeah.
21:50
Howie Mandel
They don't bury it?
21:51
Drew
No.
21:52
Adam
No. So you buried it and the dog dug it up?
21:54
Howie Mandel
Yes.
21:54
Adam
Wow.
21:55
Howie Mandel
And I brought it with me this evening.
21:57
Adam
Sarah.
21:59
Drew
The dog, I hope. What's up?
22:01
Caller
Hey.
22:03
What's going on, guys?
22:04
Adam
You're 20? What's going on with you?
22:06
Caller
I have been battling a yeast infection since November of, I guess, 2010.
22:11
Drew
Are you sure it's a yeast infection?
22:12
Caller
100% positive. I've been tested like three times. I've been tested for everything else.
22:16
Howie Mandel
There's an actual loaf there.
22:17
Drew
So she actually delivered the loaf.
22:19
Adam
Battling a yeast infection too. Just a picture of pulling out a sword, the yeast, drawing the iron, the shields. There's a thing where he swipes it in the candelabra.
22:30
Howie Mandel
Maybe since November. How long is that? That's like six months, seven months.
22:34
Adam
It's like forever.
22:35
Caller
It's forever.
22:36
Howie Mandel
Eight months. Because I know that women use that monistat 7 or monistat 3, and that stands for the amount of days that it is. So maybe you accidentally bought monistat eight months.
22:48
Drew
Have you taken Diflucan for this?
22:50
Caller
I've taken Diflucan. I've taken Trichonazole, which is the insert.
22:55
Drew
What's the longest you were on the Diflucan?
22:57
Caller
I was on the Diflucan for, I believe, three months. Wow. Yeah.
23:02
Drew
Do you have any medical problems or anything else we should know about?
23:06
Caller
I don't think so. I've been anemic, and I'm just sensitive to stuff but nothing.
23:10
Drew
No. Okay. And have they identified the kind of Candida, the subspecies of Candida?
23:14
Caller
Because they haven't told me. I should probably add right now I'm doing the Boric Acid treatment.
23:20
Caller
Oh, boy.
23:21
Drew
Here's the deal.
23:22
Caller
Boric Acid?
23:23
Drew
That recently there have been a spate of resistant Candida. Just the way they're resistant bacteria, there's some resistant Candida out there now too. So really they need to identify the type of Candida this is.
23:35
Adam
Yeah.
23:36
Drew
Candida, not Canada. Yeah.
23:37
Adam
What's she doing with the Borax?
23:39
Howie Mandel
Boric Acid.
23:40
Adam
Boric Acid.
23:43
Howie Mandel
What are you doing with Acid?
23:45
Drew
Imagine it's going in.
23:47
Caller
Sarah? Yes?
23:48
Adam
What are you doing with the Boric Acid?
23:50
Caller
They put it in the pill for me, basically they compounded them and I just put it up there twice a day.
23:56
Adam
Wow, just trying to kill anything that's up there.
23:58
Caller
Well, hopefully. It's not as painful as it sounds.
24:00
Don't worry about that.
24:03
Drew
What are the symptoms of this kind of irritation, discharge, burning, all that stuff, right Sarah?
24:09
Adam
Yeah. I want to just put her on hold again.
24:11
Drew
That's fine.
24:11
Adam
But it's got to be, yeah.
24:14
Drew
Pretty unpleasant.
24:15
Adam
Yeah. All right. It's bad for the boyfriend too.
24:17
Drew
Yeah. It seems like-
24:17
Howie Mandel
Can we get it?
24:18
Adam
Yeah.
24:19
Drew
You get them when you can. It's not a big deal.
24:20
Adam
I think I got it once.
24:21
Drew
Yeah. But it really doesn't hurt men at all, but for women it's uncomfortable. I think really you got to get some consultation, or maybe get infectious disease involved with this, and look into the- this is an unusual situation to have it this long. All right.
24:34
Howie Mandel
I've never seen you look this worried.
24:36
Drew
I'm not worried about her. I'm just troubled that she has going through all this. It's just really unpleasant.
24:40
Adam
Yeah. It's not going to harm her. It sucks. It's one of these things too, where it's like a guy having a hemorrhoid, you don't really get a whole lot of sympathy from your work buddies. There's certain things that are as painful or as bad, as getting a finger cut off when it got slammed in a door of a cab or something. Right. But yet, there's no sympathy.
25:02
Drew
Well, classic story is I did a piece for this strictly sexual guy that broke his penis, fractured it. Yeah. First of all, he wouldn't do anything about it, then it turned huge, like a mushroom and black. Right. And then he went, well, that seems like a positive. We're going to the hospital. And so he goes, takes his big, first they take the wood's foot flat and huge this way, like a big flat mushroom.
25:21
Howie Mandel
Conversation piece.
25:22
Drew
It's true, a paperweight. But they had to take the dog to the brother-in-law to put the dog somewhere where they went to the hospital. And the brother-in-law goes, what's going on? We're going to the hospital. He goes, I broke my penis. Brother-in-law laughs his ass off, of course, until he shows him.
25:36
Adam
Show the brother-in-law.
25:37
Drew
And then the brother-in-law goes, get to the hospital.
25:39
Adam
But also, banging the bejesus out of your sister?
25:43
Drew
I know. Maybe it's his brother. His brother-in-law, I think it was.
25:46
Adam
Yes. See, that's weird to me.
25:48
Drew
He's busting his chops until he saw it.
25:50
Adam
I pounded your baby sister so hard that I actually tore my cavernous body inside my penis.
25:57
Drew
It's nice.
25:57
Adam
All right.
25:58
Drew
Is that how you got it all in? Yeah.
26:00
Adam
Wow.
26:00
Drew
Slipped out and pow.
26:01
Adam
Pow. It's usually the women that take the brunt of that damage.
26:07
Drew
Usually.
26:07
Adam
Usually. Well, those days are way behind. We'll take a quick break. Howie Mandel is in the studio tonight. We'll be right back after this.
26:18
Caller
Loveline's phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew, we'll be right back.
26:27
Adam
Want to dress up your sex life? Visit durex.com. There's sex and then there's Durex. Yeah, buddy, it's Loveline and Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Howie Mandel is in studio tonight. He's got a couple of projects. Hidden Howie is the name of the first one, which is out this Thursday, August 18th at 11 o'clock.
27:09
Howie Mandel
Hidden camera pieces and sitcom. You can go to howiemandel.com if you want to see some of the hidden camera pieces.
27:15
Adam
On 11 o'clock on Bravo and then out in wide release is The Aristocrats.
27:22
Drew
Where did they get you with The Aristocrats?
27:24
Howie Mandel
In my house.
27:25
Drew
They came to your house?
27:26
Howie Mandel
They went to everybody, wherever they were. They got me at my house, they got wherever anybody was, in their office, at their workplace. I was at my house.
27:34
Adam
How much heads up did they give you?
27:37
Howie Mandel
No, I had a week. They said what they would be good.
27:41
Drew
Did you prepare or did you just kind of?
27:43
Howie Mandel
No, I didn't know what they said. I had no idea what it was.
27:46
Adam
Oh, you didn't know you're doing The Aristocrats?
27:48
Howie Mandel
No, he didn't know what it was. Paul and Penn called me. I know Paul prevents it for years. They said, we don't know what we're doing. We're just getting every comic we possibly can to tell this joke and to talk about this joke. I go, what is it? Is it a documentary? Is it a movie? Let's just get it together and we'll figure out what it is.
28:07
Adam
But I mean, you knew you were going to do the joke.
28:09
Caller
You know what joke you're going to talk about.
28:10
Howie Mandel
Everybody did the joke and we talked about the joke. Everybody had their own little take on it. Then Paul went away for about a year and a half and cut this thing. And, you know, we are happy with what he did with you. You know, I'm happy to be part of it. It's what he did with me. The only I think I talked for about an hour with them. And I'm left in I'm in the movie for maybe three minutes now and with the C word, only the C word. And I keep repeating the C word, which that's all you do is say the C word over and over. That's all I talk about in that part.
28:46
Drew
Very entertaining.
28:47
Adam
Well, true.
28:48
Howie Mandel
It is. So that's and you know, that's the way he edited. I had actually only I did the C word for over an hour, but they only left three minutes of the C word.
28:57
Adam
All right. I want to talk to Megan Drew. All right. Look at this call. It looks too good to be true. Megan?
29:03
Yes.
29:04
Adam
You're 15?
29:06
Caller
Yes, I am.
29:07
Adam
You're bisexual?
29:09
Caller
Yes, I am.
29:10
Adam
And your family's homophobic?
29:13
Caller
Yes, they are. Uh-oh.
29:15
Adam
Someone's angry.
29:16
Drew
So what's your question?
29:17
Adam
Well, are we boring you, sweetie pie?
29:20
Caller
No. It's just kind of been bothering me.
29:22
Adam
Hold on a second. Everyone just close your eyes and picture Megan about, let's say, like 11 years. Just pissed off. She's 15 now. Just picture her in a few years. See? Look down the road.
29:36
Drew
I figure I'll come to her at a customer service desk.
29:40
Adam
Yeah.
29:40
Drew
That's where I figure I'll run into her.
29:42
Adam
Yeah. Something to do with an airport, too.
29:45
Drew
With a bandaid over some of her piercings. Oh.
29:48
Adam
Megan.
29:49
Caller
Yes.
29:50
Adam
What happened to you, baby doll?
29:52
Caller
Well, since I was about sixth grade, I found out that I had a crush on a few girls in my school.
30:00
Drew
No, that's not what he means. That's not what he means.
30:01
Adam
I figured that part.
30:02
Howie Mandel
There's got to be some history.
30:04
Adam
Where's your dad? Yeah, let's talk a little history first.
30:07
Caller
My dad, he kind of ran off whenever I was little.
30:12
Drew
How old were you when he left?
30:16
Caller
Probably like two or something.
30:18
Drew
And what was he like before you left?
30:20
Adam
She doesn't remember.
30:21
Drew
Yeah, what did you hear about? Was he hell on wheels?
30:24
Caller
He did a lot of drugs.
30:25
Drew
There you go. That's what I was talking for.
30:27
Howie Mandel
You guys are good.
30:28
Adam
All right.
30:29
Drew
Did he do anything?
30:29
Adam
I can hear it in her voice.
30:30
Drew
Yeah. Did he do anything to you or one of the other drug addicts your mom brought around ever do anything to you?
30:35
Caller
No. No molestation, nothing.
30:40
Adam
And he took off and your mom, did she remarry?
30:44
Caller
No, my mom never married my dad.
30:46
Drew
What were those?
30:47
Adam
Well, all right. Did she get, is your mom married now?
30:52
Caller
No.
30:53
Adam
And she never got married?
30:54
Caller
No.
30:55
Howie Mandel
But there were guys around.
30:58
Caller
Yeah.
30:59
Drew
What were they like? What were they like?
31:03
Caller
They looked like hippies.
31:05
Drew
Hippies.
31:06
Adam
And was she laughing?
31:08
Caller
Yes.
31:09
Adam
Why?
31:10
Caller
I don't know. It just kind of seems like all the men that she dates or brings home, they kind of, they like, they work a lot and they like, they run off.
31:25
Howie Mandel
And they what?
31:25
Adam
They run off.
31:27
Howie Mandel
They work a lot and then run off.
31:29
Adam
Your mom has never been married?
31:31
Caller
No.
31:32
Caller
Wow.
31:33
Adam
Bizarre. All right. So who do you live with now?
31:37
Caller
My mom.
31:39
Howie Mandel
And how do you know she's homophobic?
31:43
Caller
Well, at a family reunion about a few years ago, they were talking about-
31:48
Adam
Hold on a second. She's calling from Missouri, and over there homophobic means scared of houses.
31:53
Caller
Yeah. Oh, of course.
31:55
Adam
So I just want to try to get- I just want to give a little clarification. It's a Missouri call.
31:59
Drew
It spells something different. It's homophobic.
32:01
Adam
Homophobic. Yes, Megan.
32:04
Caller
Okay. Well, there was a gay person on TV. And-
32:09
Drew
A gay male.
32:10
Adam
Yeah. Speaking of Bravo, everyone. Hidden Howie, 11 o'clock Thursday nights. Go ahead.
32:18
Caller
But they're all making fun of them and like, eww, being gay is so gross. I mean, yeah, yeah.
32:25
Adam
Yeah, they're just having a good time, though. It doesn't make you homophobic. Who cares, yeah. Yeah.
32:31
Caller
I don't know.
32:31
Howie Mandel
So what's your problem? Do you want to tell them now?
32:34
Drew
That's the question.
32:35
Caller
I don't know. I just want to tell them.
32:38
Drew
Why?
32:38
Adam
Because she's angry at mom.
32:40
Drew
Yeah, that's only a payback to mom thing. Listen, 15 year olds are interested in keeping information from their parents. Yeah. If you were having sex with a boy, it's the last thing you would tell your mom.
32:48
Adam
Right.
32:49
Drew
Yeah.
32:50
Adam
Here's the thing, Megan. I know you're angry and your mom's the only one around to take it out on because your dad split and abandoned the family and left your poor mom to do her best with you.
33:00
Drew
And all the other guys that came out were abandoning A.
33:02
Adam
Please don't take it out on the one parent that decide to stick it out and do what was right. You understand? Yeah. That's your mom. I'm not saying she's perfect. She is present though. Your dad split. Your dad was a coward. Your dad took the easy way out. Your mom stayed behind and she did her best to do her best with you.
33:23
Caller
All right?
33:24
Adam
Do not take, do not punish her for that.
33:27
Caller
Okay.
33:28
Adam
And realize whatever crap you think your life is, you add 25 years to that. That's how crappy your mom's life has been.
33:38
Caller
Okay.
33:39
Adam
All right.
33:40
Drew
Very funny.
33:41
Adam
I'll see you in junior college.
33:43
Caller
Oh, yeah.
33:44
Adam
Have fun. Please don't move to California. Please don't come to LA.
33:47
Drew
Do not get pregnant.
33:48
Adam
Please don't get pregnant and don't come to Los Angeles. Those are my only two please.
33:53
Howie Mandel
So what you're saying is stick with the lesbian thing.
33:55
Drew
Yes. Fine. Beautiful. I just don't think that's going to last either, though. It's going to be both soon.
34:00
Adam
No, that's just...
34:01
Drew
That's a ruse to act... Because she was brutalized by men and then she act out against mom.
34:05
Adam
Then women are flexible sexually, so if you screw with them enough, they'll just go over. They'll just bounce around. You know what it is? It's just chaos, really, for women.
34:15
Drew
Yeah.
34:16
Adam
Whereas men, when you're gay, you're gay.
34:18
Drew
You're into it.
34:19
Adam
You're into it. Women, they're just chaotic. They don't have boundaries, so they just get chaotic and they just bounce around.
34:24
Howie Mandel
Two words, anheysh.
34:26
Adam
Yes. There you go.
34:28
Drew
Got involved in doing functional MRI scans on men and women, and we had them showing images of women to women and men to men. The men, outside of consciousness, they're not aware of this. They can't describe this, but you see their brain characteristics.
34:42
Adam
What do you mean showing women to women?
34:44
Drew
You sit in an MRI scanner and they scan your brain.
34:47
Adam
Erotic stuff?
34:48
Drew
While you look at erotic images. Erotic. One of the images is of men or of women. Then you see how the brain responds to that. The males, all of them, 100 percent, and they didn't do any homosexual males, they were all heterosexual males, had no conscious experience. They didn't bother to look at these images, but their brains lit up with a threat response. Every single one. Remember we talked about that feeling?
35:11
Adam
Yes.
35:11
Drew
That is a biological thing that's based in the amygdala. Women don't have that response when they look at women at all.
35:17
Adam
Right.
35:17
Drew
They get none of that.
35:18
Adam
Right.
35:20
Drew
Whatever that is, it's in time in us.
35:21
Adam
So here's what we're talking about for...
35:24
Howie Mandel
Tall women are possibly bisexual.
35:25
Drew
They're more fluid. They're more capable.
35:27
Adam
They don't have those alarms that go up. This is a good thing. Here's something we always talk about, and I never heard anyone else talk about it, which is trying to talk everyone into being homophobic and how society is so homophobic. Here's my answer to that. Straight guys, when they see gay erotica have a visceral reaction, like, oh my god, I can't look. I have to avert my gaze, have to hold my hand up. If you see a guy graphically having gay sex, it's even hard to talk about for straight guys. With another guy, it's not that you're homophobic, it's not that your mind isn't open, it's not that you're uptight, you viscerally do it. It's like seeing dentistry or something. Seeing a deer get hit and lying by the side of the road, it's like, oh my god, I can't look at this. And by the way, a lot of these guys are the guys who love the seven faces of death films and they love stuff where guys are getting decapitated. Look, if someone said, look, we have a terrorist videotape that shows a CNN reporter being decapitated, these guys would run to the computer to take a look at. These same guys are gonna gag if they see two guys 60-90. Drew's gonna do it now too, right? So this isn't uptight, this isn't homophobic, this is a visceral reaction that straight guys have. Now, considering every straight guy has that, there is not very much abuse of gay people. If you think about the fact that within every straight guy walking the planet, there's a, oh, Christ, no, reaction. And one-tenth of 100 of 1% actually goes out and pees in a fire extinguisher and sprays it on a guy cruising down in Boys Town or takes a bat to somebody or something. The actual abuse compared to the 100% of the visceral reaction, not that high.
37:22
Drew
Well-contained.
37:23
Adam
Well-contained. Like I would argue when you're talking about when you're talking about gay bashing, I would say, oh, wait a minute, we deserve a medal for the lack of gay bashing that's going on out there, considering what resides inside of every straight man. Yes.
37:39
Drew
And those studies are being done right now on homosexual men to see how their brain response is, what's different about it. And then the big conundrum will be why. Why is the one different than the other?
37:48
Adam
Yeah, and I don't know any other topic that heterosexual males universally agree on in terms of reaction. It's not that way with food, it's not that way with anything else.
37:59
Drew
It's the equivalent of seeing your parents having sex.
38:02
Howie Mandel
So nobody's really... So no heterosexual man is actually homophobic. It's just a...
38:06
Drew
It's a visceral threat response.
38:07
Howie Mandel
Physiological...
38:08
Drew
Yeah, threat response.
38:09
Adam
Wow.
38:10
Drew
And then they contain it. And you go, oh, I'm...
38:12
Adam
Yeah, I think the homophobic part comes in the reaction, where you actually pick up a bat and go after somebody. But by these, you know, what the super liberal a-holes don't understand is this is inside of every straight guy. So technically, we're all homophobic. It's just a very small percentage of drunken ass-kickers act on it.
38:34
Drew
And it really, it's not homophobia so much as a characteristic response that's unpleasant. Yeah. Well, you're not afraid of it. You don't want to hurt people who do it.
38:45
Adam
Well, let's put it this way. If you replaced homosexual acts with black people, this would be considered racist in a huge way.
38:56
Howie Mandel
And I would imagine, and they probably haven't done this test, if you took a heterosexual man and you showed them images of female homosexual activity.
39:05
Drew
Oh, it lights up very nicely.
39:08
Howie Mandel
Much more than heterosexual activity with a man and a woman.
39:13
Adam
Now, that varies then.
39:14
Drew
No, that doesn't vary. It doesn't. They actually can't distinguish. They couldn't distinguish very well. In other words, either way, you're lit up.
39:22
Howie Mandel
Well, I can tell you, when I watch porn, when they get to the shot of the guy, it's a little turn off even though he's with a woman.
39:30
Drew
Yeah.
39:30
Howie Mandel
But if there's two women there, Interesting. It's more erotic.
39:34
Adam
That's where we part ways.
39:35
Howie Mandel
Oh, really?
39:36
Adam
Yeah. I like guy-girl better than girl-girl. Drew is a man of passion, yes?
39:43
Drew
Yeah. Thank you. It's all pretty good.
39:44
Adam
Either way, Drew lit up like a pinball machine.
39:47
Drew
Yeah. They put me in the scanner, too, and one of my scanners.
39:51
Howie Mandel
I think girl-girl, there's no bad.
39:52
Drew
But the scientist, the researcher, the thing comes up with the screen and is like, oh, oh, oh.
39:57
Adam
He's a man of passion.
39:59
Drew
All right.
40:00
Adam
Let's take a little break. Howie Mandel in studio tonight. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
40:06
Drew
I feel so liquidy.
40:08
Caller
Really?
40:09
Caller
You're listening to Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Loveline will be right back.
40:15
Caller
Loveline brought to you by Sex and the City on TBS Tuesday nights at 9, 8 Central and Wednesday nights at 10, 9 Central.
40:22
Tuesdays and Wednesdays just got sexier.
40:41
Adam
Hey, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Howie Mandel is in here. The Hidden Howie is the name of the show on the 18th. That's this Thursday, 11 o'clock. Bravo.
40:56
Howie Mandel
howiemandel.com.
40:57
Adam
Also, The Aristocrats, which is going nationwide on Friday.
41:02
Howie Mandel
Huge.
41:02
Adam
Let's keep on keeping on and speak to Amanda. Amanda?
41:07
Caller
Yes.
41:08
Adam
What's up?
41:09
Caller
I have a question for Dr. Drew about Crack.
41:13
Drew
Okay.
41:14
Adam
Crack, the name of his book. You see, Drew, you see how I do that? Because it sounds like she said Crack and Drug.
41:21
Drew
My Crack. Okay.
41:23
Adam
No, like a drug.
41:24
Drew
Yeah. No, it's a book called Crack that I wrote a couple years ago that's still going around.
41:28
Adam
Yeah. I'm going to get to that.
41:29
Drew
Yeah, someday.
41:30
Adam
Go ahead, Amanda.
41:30
Drew
I won't hold my breath though.
41:31
Caller
First, I just wanted to say it was really good and Adam, you should read it.
41:35
Adam
I'm going to.
41:36
Drew
Thank you, Amanda. Before hell freezes over, he might.
41:41
Caller
But I have a question. You told someone, I think it was Finley in the book, that why you decided to save people?
41:55
Drew
Right.
41:55
Caller
Because of the man with the red crosses in his eyes.
41:58
Drew
Right, right.
41:59
Caller
And I was just wondering why you decided to get into addiction medicine to save people as opposed to like a lot of different other ways you could.
42:10
Drew
Excellent question. Really sort of saying.
42:13
Howie Mandel
I think I should answer.
42:14
Drew
Okay, go ahead.
42:15
Adam
Yeah, instead of emergency medicine.
42:18
Drew
I'm not sure I can answer it with great accuracy because it has some sort of deep psychological reason to it and it must be symbolically those are the kinds of people that I like saving because addicts are a particular type of people. Also you can restore them to complete health. I mean you really end up with people better than they ever knew they could be.
42:34
Adam
Well, Drew, would somebody who, see I wouldn't think of someone who did emergency medicine who just triaged people who were shot and stuff as co-dependent, but you're more co-dependent and that can work in your field.
42:50
Howie Mandel
But wouldn't dentistry fall under the same, it could restore people to even better than they actually were.
42:56
Drew
No, it's taking people from dying to better than they actually were, and to restore them psychologically.
43:01
Howie Mandel
But from an overbite to a gorgeous smile.
43:03
Drew
You could do that too. I appreciate that when they do that in fact, but the going from really dying to better than they knew they could be, and to have a psychological connection during that saving process, I think is really what that story was about.
43:16
Adam
Yeah, people always saying, well, not about Drew, but about their, he saved my life. Dr. So-and-so saved my life.
43:21
Drew
And you know, when I would actually do that in a sort of ICU setting or something, or an emergency room, it didn't mean anything to me. Interestingly.
43:28
Adam
No, I mean about the medicine, though. I mean about the addiction medicine part.
43:32
Drew
Yeah, yeah.
43:33
Caller
All right.
43:34
Adam
Amy?
43:36
Yeah?
43:37
Adam
29?
43:38
Hello?
43:39
Adam
What's up?
43:40
Hello?
43:41
Adam
Hello? Hello?
43:42
Yeah.
43:43
Adam
Hold on. Ken?
43:47
Adam.
43:48
Caller
Corolla.
43:49
Adam
We're trying to replace Marco Polo, the kids' pool game. Oh, that's great. With Adam Corolla.
43:56
Drew
Do it again, Ken.
43:58
Caller
Adam. Corolla.
43:59
Howie Mandel
Corolla. I love it.
44:01
Adam
Yeah.
44:01
Drew
Works. It is.
44:02
Adam
Marco Polo's had a run for like 900 years. Screw him.
44:05
Howie Mandel
We're just starting with Adam. That's great.
44:07
Adam
Adam Corolla. You have a pool?
44:08
Howie Mandel
I do have a pool.
44:09
Adam
You have children?
44:10
Howie Mandel
Yes.
44:11
Adam
All right. What about Adam Corolla?
44:12
Howie Mandel
I'm going to do it. I had no idea until right now and starting tomorrow. I'm going to take the kids out.
44:17
Adam
Frolicing.
44:18
Howie Mandel
Frolicing. How about let's play Adam Corolla?
44:22
Adam
Go ahead, Ken.
44:24
Actually, I had a theory about that Marco Polo game. I think that it's called Marco Polo, not because he was an aquatic navigator, but more because the name Polo and the word pool are the same letters. And so you need to kind of create a pool called like a recall like a recall or something.
44:43
Adam
Interesting. So yeah, I know, makes no because water polo has nothing to do with the same letters as pool.
44:49
Drew
Right. Marco Polo was sort of lost in Asia at one point. He was following his father through and it's like Marco, where are you? He was following his father through.
44:57
Adam
Is that? Well, that's what you think.
44:59
Drew
That's what I think.
45:00
Adam
All right. Go ahead, Ken.
45:02
Yeah, I've been listening for 10 years. I'm a huge fan. You're a comedic genius, Adam. I love you.
45:07
Adam
Thank you.
45:09
I had a question for Dr. Drew about addiction, gambling addiction.
45:12
Drew
Yeah.
45:13
I want to know if gambling addiction falls along the same lines as alcoholism in that there's like a gene or a genetic predisposition for gambling.
45:23
Drew
Generally, there are some genetic elements to it, but it's not as clear cut as, say, with alcoholism per se, that most gambling addicts, in fact, are really alcoholics. And this is just the way it manifests in that disease.
45:34
Howie Mandel
You sound like you know what you're talking about.
45:36
Drew
But there clearly is a subset that overlap that is different.
45:40
Howie Mandel
I will bet you $200 that Dr. Drew could take care of you.
45:44
Adam
I find, you know, with gambling, it's sort of a... We know what the equivalent of it is, Vicodin, which is... I haven't really met too many people that don't like Vicodin, and I haven't met too many people that don't like gambling. It doesn't mean it takes hold. It just means almost everyone I know, when they're going to a place where they can gamble, get excited about gambling.
46:04
Drew
And if you've got the gene, then it's more likely to take off.
46:07
Adam
Then you're screwed, and it's probably more insidious in many ways than alcohol, because at least alcohol takes 20 years to really ruin your life.
46:15
Howie Mandel
But there is sex addiction, right? Wouldn't that be the same?
46:20
Drew
It's in the... Behavioral addictions in general are sort of evaluated the same way, but sexual addiction exists in most addicts. And then when they stop their addictive process, their chemical addiction, you see sexual addiction can emerge very commonly.
46:34
Adam
It's tough with gambling because it's such a profound part of all human construct to be attracted to it. I don't know anyone who's not in sex too. In food and shit. In food, right. So then where do you stop? I realize I don't gamble because I'm cursed. I realize other people gamble because they think they're lucky. I know I'm cursed.
46:57
Drew
Right.
46:57
Adam
It keeps me away from it. Me too. I get my ass kicked every single time. It's like I'm being punished when I gamble. All right. Let's take ourselves a little break. Howie Mandel in studio tonight. We'll be right back after this.
47:11
Howie Mandel
All right, guys, here's the deal.
47:12
Caller
You're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
47:16
Caller
One call is all you need to make.
47:17
Caller
Call the Dateline.
47:18
Caller
877-889-DATE.
47:20
Caller
Call the Dateline.
48:01
Adam
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-191. Howie Mandel is in studio tonight. Hidden Howie is the name of the show, August 18th, this Thursday, August 18th, 11 o'clock on Bravo and also The Aristocrats, which will be out in wide release on this Friday. Yes, Drew.
48:22
Drew
As much as I dislike those Gorillaz, I like that song a lot.
48:26
Adam
Yeah, Drew, we hate the band, the Gorillaz, but we're starting to like the music.
48:29
Drew
Wait, Anderson said the Gorillaz or Gorillaz?
48:31
Caller
Yeah, it's just Gorillaz, don't piss me off.
48:32
Adam
Yeah, Gorillaz. Yeah, you'll get them angry if you say the the.
48:34
Drew
I hate to do that.
48:36
Adam
I love when bands do that, which is they leave the the off where it should be and then when everyone says the, they then correct everybody.
48:46
Drew
Well, I'm on.
48:47
Howie Mandel
Why do you hate them? You had them in, you had them running.
48:49
Adam
You tell me to answer the phone. Yeah, they're a-holes.
48:50
Howie Mandel
I'm going to try and get your other ear going.
48:52
Drew
Thank you.
48:52
Adam
All right, Rick, answer the phone.
48:55
Drew
Speaking of the the thing, I'm still angry with the campaign that the Smokey the Bear people put out, trying to make him Smokey Bear instead of Smokey the Bear, which I didn't know it was. Oh, yeah.
49:05
Adam
There was.
49:05
Drew
They said, there was big campaign saying, would you call him Santa the Claws, Easter the Bunny, and I might-
49:10
Adam
But they weren't trying to get you to switch. They were just making a joke about it.
49:14
Drew
It seemed like they're trying to make fun of it. My response is Felix the Cat.
49:17
Adam
Yes. I don't know about Felix the Cat. The wonderful, wonderful cat.
49:21
Drew
It's his name.
49:22
Howie Mandel
I don't remember the campaign.
49:23
Drew
You don't have to listen to crappy public service ads every night like we do.
49:26
Adam
No. Yeah, you would be forced to. Yeah, we're forced to. It's part of the gig. Right. All right. Shall we move forward? Yeah.
49:33
Drew
I feel like I'm not really doing anything here today. No, I did.
49:36
Adam
I just promoted it, Drew. You weren't listening.
49:38
Drew
I wasn't listening.
49:38
Howie Mandel
And your show, can we?
49:40
Adam
My show, Too Late with Adam Corolla, Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central, 11.30.
49:46
Howie Mandel
11.30. I'm 11.30. You're 11.30 and you're at 12.
49:50
Adam
Then you watch me and then you go over to Dr. Drew's show, Cracked or whatever he's calling it.
49:58
Howie Mandel
Do people know what goes on here in between? You hear this conversation in this...
50:02
Drew
Go ahead and share...
50:04
Howie Mandel
.reparter of...
50:05
Adam
Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob.
50:07
Howie Mandel
Yes, all the time. And then he says, we'll be back with more after this. But they don't stop. But they don't sit here. The conversation continues and it goes down the hall. And then they make a turn down a dark corridor. But they continue talking about whatever the last caller was talking about and they continue. Through the darkness, I followed them past a kitchen, through another maze and cubicles into a very clean men's room where they stand side by side at a urinal. Continue the conversation. It never ends. It never ends and it continues. Never stop talking.
50:37
Drew
On the drive home. They don't lose... We talk until the phone's cut out.
50:41
Howie Mandel
This is not a show. You people are just eavesdropping on their life.
50:45
Drew
Our conversation.
50:46
Howie Mandel
Yes.
50:46
Caller
This is it.
50:48
Adam
Let me say something. I don't know why, but I was thinking of this Buzz Aldrin, the great astronaut was on my TV show last week at some point. Somebody brought up the fact that there's a guy who keeps going up the Buzz Aldrin and saying it's a hoax.
51:02
Drew
Really?
51:03
Adam
Man's never been to the moon. America's never been to the moon. One time he actually just punched a guy out after he kept bothering him. This is some years ago. But anyway, there's always been this group of people, ironically the same people that say we have a spaceship at Area 51 probably think we never went to the moon. Which is like, well, certainly if you believe we got a spaceship you should at least give us credit for going to the moon. But the point is, they think it was a hoax. They think it was filmed on a sound stage. And I said to somebody the other day, you know, Neil Armstrong screwed up his phrase when he put his foot on the moon. He said one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. It should have been one small step for a man. A man and one giant leap for mankind because man and mankind are the same thing. One small step for man and mankind mean exactly the same thing. So I said look, if we staged this, he would have had another take. He would have cleaned that up.
52:03
Drew
If we were doing that and it would have been Especially if it was for Comedy Central.
52:06
Adam
It would have been scripted one small step for a man, one small step, one giant leap for mankind. It's a great point. I swear to God, I know this sounds retarded, but this is how I'm absolutely unequivocally positive that it didn't happen. Because if it was on a sound stage, they would have redone it and he would have gotten it right.
52:25
Howie Mandel
So therefore, the gorillas actually exist.
52:28
Adam
That's right.
52:29
Drew
I like when Buzz said you were talking about the possibility of evidence, I think it was on your show, evidence of extraterrestrials. He said, look, he quoted Carl Sagan and said that extraordinary events would leave extraordinary evidence.
52:43
Adam
Yeah.
52:43
Drew
As Carl Sagan said. Good point.
52:44
Adam
Yeah, it was. Amy?
52:47
Yes.
52:48
Adam
You're 29. I want to know if it's possible to have the herpesvirus and never have an outbreak.
52:56
Caller
That's right.
52:57
Adam
So you can be a mule for the herpesvirus but never actually have an outbreak.
53:03
Howie Mandel
Carrier.
53:03
Drew
In fact, you can be a carrier or a mule.
53:05
Adam
How he looks at the world is just that.
53:07
Howie Mandel
This is my health.
53:08
Adam
Everyone is having dry herpes.
53:10
Drew
Yeah. Particularly women can do that. It's rather common.
53:13
Adam
Rather common.
53:14
Drew
Well, yeah. It's thought of as common.
53:15
Howie Mandel
Do you believe you're a carrier, Amy?
53:18
Caller
Actually, I was tested for it.
53:22
Drew
Hopefully not a blood test.
53:23
Caller
Yeah, I did a blood test.
53:25
Drew
The blood tests are worthless for the most part.
53:27
Caller
Okay.
53:27
Drew
Unless you have, again, extraordinary evidence.
53:30
Howie Mandel
It should be a written exam.
53:31
Adam
But, Drew, if someone tests positive for the herpes via blood tests.
53:38
Drew
And you have suspicion.
53:40
Adam
No. And never has a breakout.
53:42
Drew
I would consider the test erroneous.
53:44
Adam
You would?
53:44
Drew
I would. If they, on the other hand, have a question, gee, I had one time hazard. I think it was an outbreak. And I've got this positive. This test is only accurate when interpreted in the context of its clinical circumstance. There's got to be some evidence. So.
53:59
Caller
So why are you tested positive? Why?
54:01
Drew
Because it's herpes. Well, some doctors choose to interpret it a certain way. I think the only way you can, if you really need to settle the score, you have to get a culture done. And was this a gynecologist that you saw?
54:13
Caller
I saw a, I had, what I had was, I guess you'd call them, they would look comparable to like a cankisaur.
54:22
Drew
Amy, well that looks like, that sounds like herpes. So that's, again, you said you had no evidence.
54:27
Adam
You said you had a blood test.
54:28
Drew
Yeah, if I saw a herpes, cankisaur and a blood test.
54:31
Howie Mandel
Well, you're still a carrier.
54:32
Drew
No, you got it, you got it.
54:33
Adam
Either way, you're mule and herpes.
54:34
Drew
The cankisaur is on your vagina, right?
54:36
Caller
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not down there.
54:40
Adam
How many, how many are those?
54:41
Drew
On your throat, well everyone has those. That's terribly, terribly common.
54:45
Howie Mandel
On the throat, everybody has those?
54:47
Drew
Herpes viruses in the mouth, yeah, very, very common.
54:49
Adam
Oh, you mean inside your mouth?
54:50
Howie Mandel
On canker sore, on canker sore.
54:52
Drew
That's why the blood tests are usually positive, because people get exposed to these things very, very commonly.
54:56
Adam
She said on the throat.
54:58
Drew
Well, here's the reality that when it becomes more generalized like that, it's oftentimes either medication or it can be a primary outbreak.
55:09
Adam
Amy.
55:10
Howie Mandel
Yeah.
55:11
Adam
You said you had them on your throat.
55:14
Caller
Well, I had a cankisaur on the back of my throat, and so I went to the doctor and they did a culture of my throat. And one of the doctors that I went to see, which wasn't my primary care physician.
55:25
Drew
So you did do a culture. That's not a blood test. You did a culture.
55:28
Caller
No, but I did it.
55:29
Caller
He did a culture and then he said, well, I want a blood test.
55:32
Drew
I see.
55:33
Caller
So I did a blood test.
55:34
Drew
Were you on medication? Were you on antibiotics or medication at the time?
55:37
Caller
Um, I can't remember because it was a while ago.
55:41
Drew
That's a real typical medication reaction, have that big ulcer on the back of the throat there.
55:44
Adam
All right.
55:45
Drew
All right.
55:46
Adam
Good times.
55:47
Drew
Assume you're contagious with your mouth.
55:49
Caller
With my mouth?
55:50
Drew
Yes.
55:50
Caller
Does that mean that there's potential for it to be, like for it to show up down in the vaginal region?
55:58
Drew
Nope. Not unless you give it to somebody and then he gives it to you down there.
56:01
Howie Mandel
Maybe she's double-jointed.
56:02
Drew
She could- No?
56:04
Howie Mandel
She can't give it to herself.
56:06
Adam
I hear about double-jointed so much anymore. What happened to that?
56:09
Drew
Yeah.
56:09
Howie Mandel
That's why I'm here.
56:11
Drew
Yeah.
56:11
Adam
Another thing I missed too, the people who have one leg that's shorter than the other. Who's that one kid?
56:17
Howie Mandel
That had a shorter leg?
56:19
Adam
Little bit shorter.
56:20
Howie Mandel
And couldn't help going in circles?
56:22
Adam
No. They had the shoe that had the thick sole on it. There was always weird and creepy. You don't see that thick sole shoe anymore.
56:29
Drew
Probably because it's all corrected surgically.
56:31
Adam
It all gets done at birth now, I think. Yeah. There always was that kid. It was always- You know what make it mean-
56:36
Howie Mandel
That's a big leap from double-jointed to the short-legged.
56:39
Adam
No, not really.
56:40
Drew
There's probably-
56:40
Adam
There's still joints.
56:42
Drew
Hip dislocation or something.
56:43
Adam
Whatever it was-
56:44
Howie Mandel
Double-jointed is now called Cirque du Soleil.
56:47
Adam
Every- If you went to public school, there's always one kid that had like the weird arm or had the weird short leg. It got weirder when they took the regular tennis shoe like an Adidas or a Nike's and then put the extra sole on it. I know what they were going for, but it looked extra weird because you recognize the shoe. I just like the orthopedic shoes with the thick one. We had a kid who had the weird short arm. What is that, Drew? How does that work? The weird.
57:13
Howie Mandel
Thalidomide, probably.
57:15
Drew
Underdeveloped?
57:15
Adam
Yeah, just the underdeveloped sort of whatever. But he would overcompensate by getting in fights and being picked first and it turned out to be pretty good at everything and it was weird, but it was always known as that guy.
57:26
Drew
Depends.
57:27
Adam
But you don't see that guy anymore.
57:28
Drew
No, that's why. Can we correct these things now?
57:31
Adam
When I was in grade school, there was one or two kids that had something going on.
57:36
Drew
Always.
57:37
Adam
Always. And now?
57:38
Drew
How about the braces, those metal braces?
57:40
Adam
The polio braces?
57:42
Drew
Well, there are all kinds of braces.
57:43
Adam
Now, they're all Stepford kids. Everyone's fine, everyone's healthy, everyone's strong. I hate that. Yeah, I don't like that either.
57:48
Drew
It must be the Chinese herbs have been brought around and took care of everything.
57:51
Adam
Yes, that's what it was, the herbs.
57:53
Drew
Yeah.
57:53
Adam
They've been around for 2,000 years.
57:54
Drew
But suddenly they became effective.
57:55
Adam
Suddenly became effective or was it modern medicine?
58:00
Caller
Hello?
58:00
Adam
Year 23?
58:02
Caller
Yeah.
58:03
Adam
What's up?
58:04
Caller
Why the question for Dr. Drew? I was just wondering, I've experienced a significant decline in my sex drive. I was just wondering if this is a physical thing that I can maybe overcome or if it's a mental thing.
58:22
Drew
Well, if it's biological, physical, it's usually medication. Have you started birth control pills or something like that?
58:30
Howie Mandel
No.
58:30
Caller
I've been on birth control pills long ago, but I'm not on it right now.
58:33
Drew
You're on nothing now?
58:35
Caller
Nope.
58:35
Drew
And are you taking it?
58:37
Caller
I have a serious boyfriend.
58:39
Drew
Any medication now?
58:40
Caller
No.
58:41
Drew
Nothing? No. And you've been feeling okay otherwise, normal periods? And when did this switch?
58:49
Caller
I don't know. It's been for a while now. I guess I feel like I don't find the same pleasure out of sex that I used to.
58:56
Drew
Are you losing your sort of, is this relationship losing its spark in some way?
59:01
Caller
No, not at all. We're engaged and, you know, a good...
59:04
Drew
Does that mean something special to you? Are marriages sort of things you expect to fail?
59:09
Caller
No, not at all. I mean...
59:11
Drew
So your parents are together. You wouldn't expect a marriage to fail.
59:14
Caller
Oh, no, not at all. But I mean, this whole problem is really taking like...
59:18
Adam
Are your parents together?
59:20
Caller
Yeah.
59:21
Adam
All right. And there's no falling out of love, there's no...
59:25
Drew
Extra pressure on the relationship because of the marriage coming up?
59:29
Caller
No, nothing like that.
59:31
Drew
We couldn't hear what she said. What'd you say?
59:33
Caller
No, nothing.
59:34
Adam
All right. And you guys have been together for how long?
59:37
Caller
It's been off and on for three years. And I mean, we took about a year break.
59:43
Drew
What happened during that year?
59:44
Caller
Oh, I had to go back and finish school and kind of just be on my own for a little bit.
59:49
Drew
That was your choice to break it off? Translate that.
59:51
Adam
F his buddies.
59:52
Caller
It was kind of something we both decided I needed to do.
59:56
Drew
Translate that to he wanted to do it.
59:57
Adam
He thought he could get laid.
59:59
Drew
Right.
59:59
Adam
What ends up happening is guys hook up with chicks, they get laid three times a day for two years and they're like, wow, I'm going to take this disgruntled momentum and take it on the road. This is going to be awesome. And then they step out in the real world and it's like, what's crickets? Yeah. It's like, what's going on? Hey, ladies. Woohoo. Hello. I've been getting laid three times a day. I'll settle for twice a week. What do we got? Looking for a fresh wound tank. What do we got? Any tankers? And it's like, nothing. And then they get back together after six months.
1:00:29
Howie Mandel
Yeah, but he got back with her, who has now lost her interest.
1:00:32
Drew
Well, but it maybe harbored her resentments about what just went down.
1:00:36
Adam
Nikki?
1:00:37
Caller
Yeah.
1:00:38
Adam
Now you guys decided that you should take a year off.
1:00:42
Caller
Well, mm-hmm.
1:00:45
Caller
Yeah, but I mean, this is something that, I mean, during that break, I was whatever with somebody else, and I still didn't have this next drive that I used to.
1:00:54
Drew
Were you feeling resentful about this guy being away from you?
1:00:58
Caller
Oh, no, not at all. I just don't feel like...
1:01:00
Drew
Hey, listen, Nikki, no is fine.
1:01:03
Adam
Yeah, not at all makes us...
1:01:05
Drew
Suspicious.
1:01:06
Adam
Yeah. You, me, I thinks that I'll protest too much.
1:01:09
Drew
Exactly.
1:01:10
Adam
Yeah. Okay. So you, and what was he doing during the year off?
1:01:18
Caller
Um, you know, just working one night, he wasn't dating anybody or really seeing anybody, or like you guys were saying, he may have been sleeping around, but he wasn't.
1:01:26
Drew
Okay.
1:01:27
Adam
No, I'm saying he was, I said he cried too.
1:01:28
Howie Mandel
Well, is this a big mark difference in your sexual drive? How much sexual you haven't before?
1:01:34
Caller
Probably like three or four times a day.
1:01:37
Howie Mandel
And now?
1:01:39
Caller
Maybe like once a week.
1:01:40
Drew
All right. Well, most commonly, the most common reason, I'm just playing odds with this, is bipolar disorder. Somebody who's tend towards manic depression, where they become hypersexual periods of time, they're very effective at work, she goes to school, she does all these things, and then she gets into more depressive phase and the libido drops, and they're not quite as active. And this may be mild, it may not affect her function, it may not be something that needs to be treated, but it's a suggestive biology that could take off. Be careful with substances that can really amplify it.
1:02:08
Adam
I was at the movie theater last night and ran into Caroline Ray.
1:02:12
Drew
Oh, yes.
1:02:13
Adam
Who did that thing where she yelled at me as I was like, Adam, she was eating dinner outside, I walked past her. So I stopped and talked to her, and then there's that thing, I don't know if this ever happens, it must happen to you guys.
1:02:26
Drew
Why does speaking about bipolarity bring Caroline Ray to mind?
1:02:30
Adam
I don't know why, I was just thinking, she yelled, I talked to her for a few minutes, and then I was like, great, come on the show, fantabulous, oh thanks, really great.
1:02:37
Drew
I haven't seen her in a long time.
1:02:38
Adam
I haven't seen her in a while. And then I went to the movie, and there's that thing where you run into them again.
1:02:43
Drew
Now what do you do?
1:02:43
Adam
But you kind of shot your wad, but you have to say something, because now you're actually against each other in the popcorn line.
1:02:49
Drew
Here's the line. Here we are again.
1:02:50
Adam
Here we are again. It happened like three or four times. And then at certain points, that weird thing where like, just look down, honey, and keep walking. Because we don't know what else to talk about. And then I realized, so I was walking and she was eating outside with a bunch of people. And I passed her. I was down the road and she yelled, Adam. And I looked and turned around and doubled back and came back to her. Later on that night, when we were leaving my wife and I, the theater, I saw the director of the TLC show I'm working on, who's a great lady, getting along fine and she was like, there's Pal and I said, honey, keep walking. And it was just my instinct. And she's like, don't you like, and I like, I like her. Keep walking. And I thought my instinct is to always just keep moving. Pretend like you don't know.
1:03:38
Howie Mandel
You don't like contact.
1:03:39
Adam
I realize.
1:03:40
Drew
You're like hassle.
1:03:41
Howie Mandel
I think you blow your wad here.
1:03:43
Adam
Maybe that's it. Maybe that's it. And I think there's a, so Caroline Ray yelled at me when I was 30 paces down and she was looking at my back and I was way out of sight and all that. I saw the, and I haven't seen Caroline Ray in many years, and I saw the woman I see every day who directs my show who I like, and I told my wife keep walking.
1:04:02
Drew
Adam likes the clutch in. And if he has to engage the clutch to have a conversation or whatever, oh no, no, no, that's too much. That's not good.
1:04:10
Howie Mandel
Well, I'm not a people person.
1:04:11
Adam
You're not. You keep walking. What would you do?
1:04:13
Howie Mandel
But I have different issues.
1:04:15
Adam
I know. You don't want to touch.
1:04:16
Howie Mandel
I don't want to touch, but I don't want to even get the, you know, I think I have weird thoughts. I don't like to, I don't engage. I try, I walk with my head down. I very rarely go out.
1:04:26
Adam
Right.
1:04:27
Howie Mandel
But I walk with my head down and I do not because of the carol.
1:04:29
Drew
What are the thoughts? I'm just curious if you're okay.
1:04:32
Howie Mandel
I just don't like being out in public. I just, I feel like I'm going to, I mean, You're being watched or that people are, you know, whispering. I'm very neurotic. I don't like to be touched. I don't like to be, I believe there's germs everywhere. And I'm almost, I'm this close to being a little bit of a-
1:04:47
Adam
Howard Hughes?
1:04:48
Howie Mandel
I could get there.
1:04:49
Adam
Oh yeah. Oh, there's time.
1:04:51
Drew
You see the Kleenex boxes on his feet?
1:04:53
Adam
Yeah, I was wondering what those were. I thought they were Birkenstocks.
1:04:56
Howie Mandel
Yes. No, so I'm very close. And I, you know, we were talking before the show. I don't think, but that's a big thing. You know, everybody's extending hands and touching. I'm on a campaign. You want to start Adam Carolla in Santa Marco Polo. I don't want, I don't want people to, I believe in sex. I believe in hugging. I believe in, but I don't want people to touch.
1:05:13
Adam
The handshake.
1:05:14
Howie Mandel
No more handshakes.
1:05:15
Adam
I'm with you.
1:05:16
Howie Mandel
I think I like the whole Asian thing with the bow. I think there's no reason to.
1:05:20
Adam
This is perfect.
1:05:20
Howie Mandel
Great to see you. It's good seeing you.
1:05:22
Adam
Let me tell you.
1:05:23
Drew
Let's get high back.
1:05:24
Adam
Look, I want to bring.
1:05:24
Howie Mandel
Caroline Ray. Look at you.
1:05:27
Adam
I want to bring the Asian thing back for the cell phone. I want people to start saying, hey, when you're talking on the cell phone, because I drive through the canyons. I'm long-winded. I don't know if you've heard. The phone cuts out and I realize that I've been talking for 18 minutes now and the person's been gone for 15 of the 18 minutes.
1:05:46
Drew
That's a relief for the other end.
1:05:48
Adam
Right, and then every once in a while, you do that stupid thing where you go.
1:05:50
Drew
Hello?
1:05:51
Adam
Yeah, you go, hello? And they go, yeah, I'm listening. And you always feel like a narcissist and an idiot.
1:05:56
Howie Mandel
And what did I say?
1:05:58
Adam
Right. The Japanese, they just say, hey, hey, hey. So the person starts talking and they're constantly being affirmed.
1:06:05
Howie Mandel
I get it.
1:06:05
Adam
And they're being affirmed. And it feels good.
1:06:07
Howie Mandel
Yeah.
1:06:08
Adam
It feels good. Like, Drew, just start. I'll say it, I'll just start talking. I'll just say, oh, man, I'll tell you what, I don't know why they put those stickers on fruit. You know what I mean? How did we get along without those stickers on the fruit? And you try to pull it off and it takes the skin off with it. And you got to take a knife and stuff. Couldn't they just put the sticker on the outside of the pack? You have to put it on every single goddamn nectarine? See?
1:06:29
Howie Mandel
When I was going for the Asian thing, it's just about the height. The height makes me nervous. That makes me nervous.
1:06:34
Adam
But on a cell phone, it would make me nervous. Yeah, but you would know the person was there all the time. I mean, LA is such a horrible town for a cell phone.
1:06:42
Howie Mandel
I don't care for the person to even be there. I like making the call.
1:06:45
Drew
How is he going with the peanut bomber? He's going away.
1:06:47
Adam
Wow.
1:06:48
Caller
He's going to a shack in the woods.
1:06:50
Adam
I agree with you on the handshaking. I totally agree. Not for the germs, just for the fact of, why go? I like that. I like the elbow. I like the knuckles. I like the bow. The bow is nice.
1:07:04
Howie Mandel
No, but mainly for the...
1:07:05
Drew
But the elbow is back, instead of the knuckles.
1:07:08
Howie Mandel
I do the knuckles, but the elbows... I used to do... I had band-aids on my hand, so I would say, look, I have a band-aid.
1:07:14
Adam
Oh, really? Oh, you'd put that there.
1:07:15
Howie Mandel
Before I came up with the...
1:07:16
Drew
You have these huge rings, and see, I'm intimidating.
1:07:19
Howie Mandel
Yes, I have rings now, but just so you won't touch my flesh. But the thing is, I used to have... I used to have the band-aids on, and somebody would extend their hand, and then I would extend my hand, and I'd go, I can't. So then we'd grab my... all of a sudden, the left hand...
1:07:34
Adam
Oh, yeah, that didn't work.
1:07:36
Howie Mandel
Then I put band-aids on both hands. But then I had to explain.
1:07:40
Adam
Can I suggest this? Go ahead. The fact that you don't want to make contact with the hands could be the sort of spearhead, or the reason, maybe the thing that propels you not wanting to be out in person in general.
1:07:56
Howie Mandel
Absolutely. It is.
1:07:57
Adam
So much of that.
1:07:58
Howie Mandel
It is.
1:07:58
Adam
You know what I mean? It's like there's people that have bad skin, and all of a sudden, they don't want to date, they don't want to go out.
1:08:06
Howie Mandel
I've been with the same girl for 30 years, so I'm safe there. I don't have to date. If I had to date, I probably wouldn't, at this point, where I am in my mind, I probably wouldn't date.
1:08:16
Adam
No, I'm saying if somebody has rosacea, the problem where they turn red or something, they don't want to do anything.
1:08:22
Drew
There's a slightly different thing from isolating because of you don't like how you appear and that sort of thing from this, which is an anxiety disorder about the obsessional stuff, and that very quickly bleeds into agoraphobia.
1:08:34
Adam
But it all stems from the hand, I think.
1:08:36
Drew
It does. But agoraphobia is actually-
1:08:38
Adam
Or is the hand an excuse to propel this?
1:08:40
Drew
Listen, agoraphobia is, people think of it as a fear of open places.
1:08:43
Adam
I thought it was agoraphobia.
1:08:45
Drew
Agoraphobia. It's a fear of crowds in reality.
1:08:48
Adam
Right.
1:08:48
Drew
It's a fear of being out in public.
1:08:49
Howie Mandel
Yeah, I have that fear. I just want to put out a quick shout out to the people at West Hills Hospital, the emergency room, who see me frequently with my heart palpitations. Really? Yes.
1:08:59
Drew
It's an anxiety thing.
1:09:01
Adam
What do they do when you come in there with palpitations?
1:09:02
Howie Mandel
I'm hooked up on an EKG and then they say, no Howie, you're just anxious. Go home.
1:09:07
Adam
Oh really?
1:09:07
Howie Mandel
Yeah. Wow. And then I got this card. I walked around with this card for a while. The guy, a doctor gave me.
1:09:13
Drew
Let's see, put it in your chest if you have an event.
1:09:14
Howie Mandel
Yeah. On the phone.
1:09:16
Drew
It's called an event monitor.
1:09:17
Howie Mandel
I had an event monitor. So my life was an event. Wow. It's a positive. You can see the positive in that. So I walked around with that for a while. I'm kind of messed up.
1:09:26
Adam
Yeah. You're very forthright about it.
1:09:30
Howie Mandel
It makes my life easier.
1:09:32
Adam
Oh no. Yeah. Why not?
1:09:33
Howie Mandel
Because somebody sees me if they see me outside afterwards. They go, I heard you on Loveline. I won't shake your hand.
1:09:40
Adam
No, it's good. I've said this all times. Snoop Dogg gets to smoke weed wherever he wants. I got to, if I smoke weed, I got to go to my basement and put a sheet over my head. Snoop Dogg gets to do it in the green room, a Kimmel, because that's what Snoop Dogg does. Once you get to work, it would be stupid for Snoop Dogg to pretend he didn't smoke weed. Instead, tell everyone he smokes weed and he can smoke it on a plane. You, Howie Mandel-
1:10:03
Howie Mandel
That's actually, you had to start out being Willie Nelson's idea.
1:10:05
Adam
Right. I did rip that one off from Willie Nelson. You let everyone know that, hey man, I'm weird about this stuff. The next thing you know, we're just like, okay, how do you know? You don't shake hands with Howie. Come on, man. It's a different set of rules. It's smart, as opposed to hiding it for many years, which I'm sure you did.
1:10:20
Howie Mandel
I did, and I was going nuts, and I was in and out of the hospital and the emergency room, and now I just, when I did the talk show, you guys were on the talk show, Paramount said-
1:10:29
Adam
People have to come out every day and greet you.
1:10:31
Howie Mandel
Paramount said, you can't talk about this crap. You can't, because we want to focus daytime television, there's a different kind of audience, and you can't talk about it every day, you're going to have to deal with it. The way I dealt with it is my friends are a surgeon, and I called them and I said, what are you guys using that? What's that stuff you use to scrub up?
1:10:48
Drew
You have the scrubbing stuff?
1:10:49
Howie Mandel
Yeah, the scrubbing for surgery.
1:10:50
Drew
You use that after the show?
1:10:52
Howie Mandel
Before and after, and during the show I had PUREL. And then right around the end of the show, when the show was getting canceled, I started getting warts all over my hand, and I said, what is this? And I went to the dermatologist, and apparently I had killed all the antibodies in my, I'm using too much of that stuff.
1:11:11
Adam
Wow, see what God does to you?
1:11:12
Howie Mandel
Viruses, there was just viruses all over my hands. I don't use that stuff anymore.
1:11:16
Adam
Smart. Alright, but Howie, let me just make this observation.
1:11:21
Howie Mandel
Go ahead.
1:11:23
Adam
You're being very forthright about this stuff, and you're putting it out there, and that's probably healthy. On the other hand, maybe it's enabling you a little bit, too.
1:11:31
Howie Mandel
To do what?
1:11:32
Adam
To spin out with it a little bit, because now people know, it's like Snoop Dogg with the pot. Hey man, I'm wearing it on my sleeve, this is who I am. Now I got a little momentum with it. Is it gathering a head of steam?
1:11:44
Howie Mandel
Well, you know what, this wasn't the segue into plugging the show, but it is part of my show because it's part of me and it's part of who I am, and so I can use it. Right. I realize that I can use it and find the comedy and the entertainment value in it, but by the same, and it also works and makes my life a little bit easier. But I am in therapy. Good. I am, as I talked to you before the show, I'm supposed to be a medicated, I'm not taking the medication for it, so it's a real problem.
1:12:09
Adam
Have you tried the medication?
1:12:11
Howie Mandel
No, I'm afraid to.
1:12:11
Drew
Maybe Prozac?
1:12:14
Blue Box?
1:12:15
Howie Mandel
I didn't ask him what it was, he goes, I'm going to prescribe, and I said I'm not going to.
1:12:19
Adam
How about a week just to see what it does?
1:12:22
Howie Mandel
I don't want to.
1:12:22
Adam
Not curious?
1:12:23
Howie Mandel
No.
1:12:24
Drew
What if it made you feel better?
1:12:26
Adam
I would try to see what it did.
1:12:28
Howie Mandel
You know, I was, and a lot of comics talk about this, I saw an ad, every ad you see for every pill, for everything, has like 5 million side effects, worse than what you're trying to fix up. You know, there's one out now for incontinence.
1:12:42
Adam
Sure.
1:12:42
Howie Mandel
Incontinence. And then you just...
1:12:44
Adam
Yeah, the lawyers make them put that there, though. But if that doesn't...
1:12:48
Howie Mandel
So you defecate in your pants. So you're not urinating, you're not peeing anymore.
1:12:52
Adam
But you go in number two.
1:12:53
Howie Mandel
But you go in number two.
1:12:54
Adam
Right.
1:12:54
Howie Mandel
But I'm not urinating.
1:12:55
Adam
That's not gonna be you.
1:12:56
Howie Mandel
How do you know?
1:12:57
Adam
Well, you should...
1:12:58
Howie Mandel
You know, I'm comfortable with people, I'm shaking hands, and my pants are filled with crap.
1:13:03
Adam
I think...
1:13:03
Howie Mandel
But I'm comfortable.
1:13:04
Adam
I don't think you want to take the drug, because if you take the drug, you might start shaking hands, and you don't want to shake hands.
1:13:09
Howie Mandel
No, I just, you know, I'm happy, you know, I'm doing okay.
1:13:13
Adam
All right.
1:13:14
Howie Mandel
You know, I'm doing fairly well.
1:13:15
Adam
How's your wife? She's cool with this, kids and everything?
1:13:18
Howie Mandel
You know, I have three kids who...
1:13:20
Drew
Daughters, right?
1:13:21
Howie Mandel
I have two daughters and a son. Who I, you know, we constantly say don't be like...
1:13:25
Adam
Oh, sorry, the Brist story.
1:13:26
Drew
Yes, Brist story.
1:13:26
Howie Mandel
Yes, yes. Don't be like dad. So they're all normal. My wife's normal, but they create a world for me to... That I'm very comfortable in.
1:13:34
Adam
Right.
1:13:34
Howie Mandel
So they know I have things that I touch. I have my own little, there's a, we call it like normal, a guest bedroom, but it's actually just a place where if somebody has a cold, I can go.
1:13:44
Adam
Oh, really?
1:13:44
Howie Mandel
Yeah.
1:13:45
Adam
Wow.
1:13:45
Howie Mandel
If I sleep, if my wife is sick, or even if I'm sick, to make it easier.
1:13:49
Adam
Wow. See, to me, I'm too lazy. I would embrace that lifestyle, too, but it's just... I burn too many calories. Meanwhile, I eat junk that falls on the floor. I wrestle stuff away from my dog and eat it. Like, I got nothing. I don't even know what's bad, what's good.
1:14:04
Howie Mandel
But you don't know what triggers this thing. You know, I have babies and I change them.
1:14:08
Adam
You do.
1:14:08
Howie Mandel
They're dirty diapers. Yeah, well, they're not anymore.
1:14:11
Drew
It's not irrational. It just doesn't happen. It's not rational. It's just a biology.
1:14:15
Adam
All right, let's take ourselves a little break. Howie Mandel is in studio tonight. We'll take a quick break.
1:14:20
Caller
Be right back after this.
1:14:22
Caller
Hello, this is your radio. Love Line will be right back.
1:14:46
Howie Mandel
Which of the following statements is not true? Shopping for music online is fun.
1:14:52
Shopping for clothes online is fun. Shopping for car insurance online is.
1:15:16
Adam
Yeah, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Jared Leto is coming in later on in the week. Bob Saget also coming in later on in the week from The Aristocrats. And by the way, Howie Mandel in The Aristocrats, which is coming out in a wide release this Friday, the 19th, the 18th, the day before, at 11 o'clock on Bravo. You can see Hidden Howie, which is the premiere of his new TV show.
1:15:44
Howie Mandel
Hidden Camera and Sitcom.
1:15:46
Adam
Hidden Camera and Sitcom. And then 11.30, Monday through Thursday, you watch me on Comedy Central. And on Wednesday and Saturday, stay up till midnight, you'll see Dr. Drew.
1:15:56
Drew
That's right. Tivo.
1:15:57
Adam
Wow.
1:15:57
Drew
I was just thinking about that system of a down song, which made me think of eating, which made me think of our crystal method. I mean our crap.
1:16:05
Adam
System of Down?
1:16:06
Drew
No, our other buddies. Oh.
1:16:09
Adam
Oh, oh, oh. Yeah. Crystal Method.
1:16:11
Drew
Crystal Method. Yeah. Somebody sent me a La Cabanita gift certificate. We had to get those guys and go over there.
1:16:17
Adam
Yeah. Some of the best Mexican food in the world is this place in La Crescenta, called La Cabanita.
1:16:24
Drew
Let's get them.
1:16:24
Adam
Crystal Method brings us food from there. Actually, what we do is we identify bands through the food they bring us. Yeah. System of Down brings us Armenian food. Crystal Method brings us Mexican food.
1:16:35
Howie Mandel
Yeah. I didn't bring anything.
1:16:36
Adam
Now we brought us a tub of Purell. Let's talk to Don. It's time to play a little game called Germany or Florida. Howie, we've figured out from doing this show, actually I figured out from sitting in the writer's room over at Jimmy Kimmel Live for all those years that all bizarre stories emanate from either Germany or Florida. So here's how the game goes. Don will tell us a story and then we will guess, is it Germany or Florida? All right.
1:17:04
Drew
Don, oh, this is the theme song.
1:17:07
Adam
Yeah, David Allen Grier.
1:17:11
Caller
Is it Germany or Florida? Hey, Germany or Florida?
1:17:22
Adam
Big ending, true.
1:17:24
Let's find out. Dun, dun, ba-dun, dun, dun, ba-dun, dun, dun.
1:17:29
Adam
Right out. I love the big ending.
1:17:33
Drew
What does he think of that stuff?
1:17:36
He doesn't think.
1:17:37
Adam
Don?
1:17:38
Caller
Hi.
1:17:38
Caller
Hi, guys.
1:17:40
Adam
All right, go ahead, baby doll.
1:17:41
Caller
Okay. Two policemen were left stunned last week after being mistaken for strippers while investigating a noise complaint. The officers were greeted by a group of women with cries of, the strippers are here when they visited the premises. Before they could explain that they were genuine police officers, the two men were surrounded by the group of very interested women. Luckily, before the Randy ladies managed to tear off their uniforms, the two terrified officers whipped out their badges to prove that they were in fact real policemen. After the excitement had calmed down, the men persuaded women to turn the music down and encourage them to wait for the real strippers. The officers' report says there were obvious disappointment on the faces of some of the party goers, Germany or Florida.
1:18:26
Drew
Well I don't think in Germany they would yell the strippers are here.
1:18:29
Adam
Yeah, and the other thing is, well they could have done it in German, but the point is how do you whip out the badge if you're a uniform cop and if you're not a uniform cop then they just talk to the plainclothes guys who are the strippers, you know what I'm saying?
1:18:47
Drew
Maybe they sort of pointed at their badge or something, this is a real badge.
1:18:50
Howie Mandel
It's a badly written story.
1:18:52
Adam
Yeah, and it sounds-
1:18:53
Howie Mandel
And bad writing usually comes out of Florida.
1:18:55
Drew
Unless in Germany, they don't wear their badges on the outside. We don't know, see?
1:18:59
Adam
What if they pulled their badge out?
1:19:01
Drew
Yes, in Germany maybe they're required to keep it in their pocket or something.
1:19:06
Adam
Interesting, did it say uniform policemen or just said policemen?
1:19:09
Drew
It must be, if they're uniform policemen.
1:19:11
Caller
Because that's how the girls are.
1:19:14
Drew
You've always said the male stripper comes as a job.
1:19:17
Adam
Right, why would a guy in a uniform, why would he whip out his badge? That's just bad tabloid writing. And this is just one of those wives' tales thing. It's an urban myth, I don't think it ever happens.
1:19:29
Drew
Let's assume it's bad writing.
1:19:30
Adam
I feel like Florida.
1:19:31
Drew
I do too.
1:19:32
Adam
And Howie's going to Florida?
1:19:33
Howie Mandel
I went with Florida.
1:19:34
Adam
We're going to Florida all the way around, Don.
1:19:37
Caller
It's Germany.
1:19:38
Drew
Oh, for the reasons we thought, huh?
1:19:41
Howie Mandel
Maybe a German suburb.
1:19:44
Caller
Well, yeah, it was in northwest Germany in the town of Bremen. And I checked it out. This is actually from...
1:19:50
Howie Mandel
She checked it out.
1:19:52
Adam
She checked it out...
1:19:54
Caller
.newspaper. And then I double checked it.
1:19:56
Howie Mandel
Double checked it. So then it must have happened.
1:19:59
Adam
The whipped out the badge part probably should have...
1:20:02
Howie Mandel
Normally, I wouldn't believe it, but this story has been double checked.
1:20:06
Adam
Yes, yes. She checked her sources on it. She talked to Deep Throat.
1:20:11
Caller
Wow.
1:20:11
Howie Mandel
This wasn't only checked, this is double checked.
1:20:14
Adam
Yeah.
1:20:15
Caller
Wow.
1:20:15
Howie Mandel
I would have never guessed.
1:20:16
Adam
All right. I want to talk to Robin real quick, who had her leg straightened out. Robin?
1:20:23
Caller
Hi.
1:20:24
Adam
16? Yep. What's up?
1:20:27
Caller
So I heard you guys talking earlier about that kid who always had the shorter leg, then they're never around anymore. And I was like, oh my God, I have to call. I'm totally that kid.
1:20:38
Adam
Yeah. But you had your leg straightened out, right?
1:20:41
Caller
Yeah, I did. But I didn't have it done at birth. I had it done when I was 10.
1:20:45
Adam
10.
1:20:45
Drew
Why did they wait so long?
1:20:48
Caller
Because they couldn't decide how they were going to do it.
1:20:50
Howie Mandel
Shorten the long one or lengthen the short one?
1:20:53
Drew
What was the injury? What was the issue?
1:20:55
Caller
It was just like a birth defect.
1:20:56
Caller
Like by the time I was 10, there was two and a half inches difference.
1:20:59
Howie Mandel
Wow.
1:21:00
Drew
What did they end up doing? Just more femur?
1:21:02
Caller
They put it in a fixator and stretched it.
1:21:05
Howie Mandel
In a fixator?
1:21:06
Drew
External fixator.
1:21:07
Caller
For how long?
1:21:09
Adam
I mean, every night when you went to bed?
1:21:12
Caller
What happens is that they break the leg and then fix pins in it.
1:21:16
Adam
Oh, they break it?
1:21:17
Drew
They break it and pull it apart and distract it. Yeah.
1:21:18
Adam
And then they have to put a piece in there, right?
1:21:21
Drew
Not necessarily. Sometimes they get the osteoblasts to jump. It's called jumping osteoblasts.
1:21:26
Adam
But they break the femur. The femur is two and a half inches apart, though?
1:21:30
Drew
No, they start just...
1:21:31
Caller
It actually, they broke my tibia.
1:21:33
Drew
Tib fib, yeah.
1:21:34
Howie Mandel
Oh. Is that painful?
1:21:37
Caller
Yeah, it hurt a lot.
1:21:38
Adam
I'm guessing she was...
1:21:39
Drew
But you're in a way proving our point, Robin, which is that when we were in school, that would be the kid for good. He just was the guy with the short leg. They would never get it corrected.
1:21:48
Howie Mandel
Wouldn't it have been easier just to get a pair of Adidas and put that block on the bottom of it?
1:21:52
Caller
I couldn't buy the really cool shoes.
1:21:54
Drew
I had to buy weird things. Now you're normal again, right?
1:21:57
Adam
It's got to suck as a check.
1:21:58
Drew
You're symmetrical now, right? Sort of.
1:22:01
Caller
Pretty much. I'm going to have some heinous scars and I feel limp and it's not.
1:22:05
Adam
That's all right. You know what? That just makes you accessible for the guys that aren't as hot.
1:22:10
Drew
Or not only that, for all the other guys are interested, right? It's like the gazelle at the back of the pack. Yeah. They're ready to pounce.
1:22:17
Adam
Yeah. Are you cute?
1:22:19
Howie Mandel
No.
1:22:21
Adam
Wait a minute. What's up?
1:22:23
Howie Mandel
Well, you can get that fixed.
1:22:25
Adam
Yeah. What's the problem? Yeah. They have stretchers for that too. What's the problem with you?
1:22:30
Caller
Well, everyone always says that they're cute and I just wanted to be honest.
1:22:34
Adam
Well, I know you're being honest. We appreciate that. But in your estimation, what's wrong with you physically?
1:22:40
Caller
Yeah.
1:22:40
Caller
A little overweight.
1:22:42
Drew
Is that it?
1:22:43
Caller
Well, mostly.
1:22:45
Caller
I couldn't do sports as a kid because I had a thing on my leg.
1:22:49
Drew
Yeah, but the weight thing is something you can take care of. See a dietician? You get going.
1:22:53
Adam
So it's just a weight thing.
1:22:54
Caller
And then my arm, I have a short arm too and two fingers on my right hand. So it's something I'm a little sensitive about.
1:23:04
Adam
Two fingers on the right hand? Yeah. And a thumb or just the two fingers?
1:23:10
Caller
Well, it was one giant hand that was stuck together. Then when I was 15 months old, they split it apart and rotated one finger. So I had like an opposable, like, turn to sort of-
1:23:20
Adam
Oh, really?
1:23:21
Drew
Cool.
1:23:21
Adam
Wow, that's nice. See, we went to hand the injured man Lobster Boy when I was growing up.
1:23:26
Drew
Right. And what would you- does your injury or issue have a name?
1:23:32
Caller
I don't know.
1:23:33
Adam
God hates me.
1:23:33
Drew
No, have they ever called it by name or anything? Syndrome?
1:23:36
Caller
No. usually like when people ask me what happens, I just say it's like a birth defect. Like I was just born that way.
1:23:41
Drew
And what did happen?
1:23:42
Adam
Don't they call it something though?
1:23:44
Caller
I don't know. I don't pay attention.
1:23:46
Drew
Robin, but for a second, give us- what is the interpretation of what happened?
1:23:51
Caller
Um, I think just like that like I was just like- I asked my science teacher about it and he gave me some like crap answer about-
1:24:00
Howie Mandel
Why don't you ask your mom?
1:24:01
Adam
Yeah, why don't you ask your mom what the doctors told her? By the way, science teachers, these guys get 37K a year and have junior college educations and don't want to be there.
1:24:09
Caller
She doesn't know either.
1:24:10
Caller
She just was like, oh, you're just special.
1:24:12
Caller
You're just born that way.
1:24:13
Adam
You're just special. All right, well, no. Mommy OD'd on something.
1:24:17
Caller
Yeah.
1:24:19
Adam
All right. All right, baby. Well, look, here's the deal. Here's the thing, Robin. Don't get down on yourself because you know what?
1:24:26
Howie Mandel
Let somebody else go down on you.
1:24:27
Adam
Yes, you're going to overcompensate and be a great achiever in your life.
1:24:32
Drew
And partner.
1:24:32
Adam
That's what you're going to do. And here's the deal, too.
1:24:35
Drew
Adam just decided the people like you are the people to be in business with and to be in a relationship with.
1:24:39
Adam
Well, look, I'll tell you the reality is. The reality is, if you ever hire a handicapped person, they're the hardest working people on the staff. They show up early. They overcompensate and that's what you want. And by the way, you could never be fired. You can't be fired. This is better than being American Indian. You could not fire. Once you get in with any kind of corporation or anything.
1:25:01
Howie Mandel
You are one lucky lady.
1:25:03
Adam
They are not going to fire you. And then when you do find a guy, it might take a little longer, but when you do, he is going to love you. It's going to be all about you.
1:25:13
Drew
It's a good time.
1:25:14
Adam
Meanwhile, why don't you ask mom what's up?
1:25:17
Drew
Just be curious.
1:25:19
Adam
You're special?
1:25:21
Drew
Everything happens for a reason, Adam. That's what mom would say.
1:25:23
Howie Mandel
And the science teacher doesn't even know.
1:25:25
Adam
Well, like I said, it's just a public school.
1:25:27
Howie Mandel
Ask the geography teacher. I would ask the geography teacher.
1:25:30
Adam
I don't think they teach geography in schools anymore.
1:25:32
Drew
My kids are taking a full year of geography next year.
1:25:34
Adam
Your kids go to school, it costs 70 grand a year.
1:25:37
Howie Mandel
And nothing else, just geography.
1:25:39
Drew
That's it.
1:25:41
Howie Mandel
Geography and French.
1:25:42
Adam
I don't even know what French was.
1:25:44
Howie Mandel
They're going to grow up to be French geographers.
1:25:46
Adam
We will take a little break. Howie Mandel is in Studio Night. We'll be right back after this. Hey, buddy, it's Love Line, man. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Howie Mandel is in studio tonight. You can find him on the big screen at theaters in The Aristocrats, which is out on the 19th and then the 18th Hidden Howie, which is Thursday, the 18th at 11 o'clock on Bravo.
1:26:50
Howie Mandel
Thanks.
1:26:51
Adam
Hey, my pleasure.
1:26:52
Howie Mandel
Oh my.
1:26:53
Adam
All right. Let's see. Let's talk to Kevin, who's 22. Kevin?
1:26:58
Caller
Hey, how's it going?
1:27:00
Adam
Oh, it's good. It's good. So we were talking earlier about how straight guys have a horrible negative visceral reaction to seeing gay erotica.
1:27:08
Caller
Uh-huh.
1:27:09
Adam
And you're here to say that you're straight and you have to look at gay porn sites to get off.
1:27:16
Caller
Well, like you were talking earlier with Howie the Compulsion. And it's kind of like that. And I'm just calling on him, maybe get some advice.
1:27:22
Howie Mandel
I think that he's not straight.
1:27:25
Drew
That's what I would think, too.
1:27:26
Adam
That's the only conclusion that straight guys can reach.
1:27:30
Howie Mandel
You're gay and thanks for your call.
1:27:33
Adam
You're gay or you're just making this call up.
1:27:36
Drew
Or you're tormenting yourself in some way.
1:27:39
Adam
Because you're punishing yourself.
1:27:40
Drew
Well, you're saying this is part of an obsessional preoccupation you have. So tell us about it.
1:27:44
Caller
Well, I mean, like I have girlfriends right now.
1:27:47
Adam
And more than one.
1:27:50
Caller
Yeah.
1:27:51
Howie Mandel
Do they have testicles?
1:27:53
Caller
No.
1:27:54
Drew
Did they at one time?
1:27:56
Caller
No. No, I mean, they're both attractive girls. And I mean, I'm not like a guy that has any trouble.
1:28:01
Caller
All right.
1:28:01
Caller
But, you know, they have these online sites where you can go to and they just, you know, list where you can go meet and hook up with other guys. And I'm just obsessed with them.
1:28:12
Caller
I do do that.
1:28:13
Drew
And with that, do you do that?
1:28:15
Caller
I have a few times and I don't like it. And guys, you know, I'm just hoping, you know, wait a minute.
1:28:21
Adam
Listen, slow down, slow down, Kevin. Look, either this is bogus or you're gay.
1:28:26
Drew
That's the easier choice.
1:28:27
Adam
The part, yeah, there's A or B. Bogus or gay?
1:28:30
Caller
There's not a phase.
1:28:32
Adam
No, this is bogus. Now it's bogus.
1:28:34
Caller
It's not bogus, though. I mean, that's the thing is.
1:28:36
Adam
Well, then you're gay. Look, if you're going online and meeting guys online and hooking up with them, that's what we would call gay.
1:28:44
Howie Mandel
There's also this thing as being like slightly gay.
1:28:46
Adam
No.
1:28:47
Howie Mandel
No, you're gay.
1:28:48
Drew
Well, people could argue that he's bisexual, but why would he compare himself to me?
1:28:53
Howie Mandel
It's like Howie said.
1:28:54
Adam
Yeah.
1:28:54
Howie Mandel
He said it's like Howie said.
1:28:56
Adam
Being gay is not like being American Indian, like where you're sharing your 118th Iroquois. You're 118th gay. You're gay.
1:29:03
Drew
His thing is he thinks this is some sort of obsession that he can't control as opposed to looking at.
1:29:08
Howie Mandel
But he went from an obsession to a phase.
1:29:11
Drew
I know. The fact is.
1:29:12
Howie Mandel
Yeah, I'm going through a phase where I can't shake hands.
1:29:14
Drew
Well, it's gay. Right. Gay, gay, and not having trouble accepting it.
1:29:19
Adam
Kevin, this is gay. Hello?
1:29:23
Caller
Yeah, I'm here.
1:29:24
Adam
All right.
1:29:25
Caller
I've just never been told that before. That just feels weird.
1:29:28
Howie Mandel
You've never been told by the guys you hooked up with that you were gay. They never mentioned to you that you might be gay.
1:29:35
Caller
No.
1:29:35
Howie Mandel
When another man is going down on you, you had no idea that you might be gay.
1:29:41
Caller
No.
1:29:42
Howie Mandel
No.
1:29:42
Adam
Well, maybe they couldn't respond because your penis was in their mouth. Yeah. Listen, Kevin, this is bogus.
1:29:51
Drew
Fess up.
1:29:52
Adam
Fess up.
1:29:53
Caller
It's really not though. I mean, it's really not. Well, look.
1:29:55
Adam
Okay. Listen, Kevin, if this isn't bogus, then you have the deductive reasoning of a four-year-old. You're going out and hooking up with guys physically. You don't think that makes you gay?
1:30:08
Caller
Maybe bi. I don't know. But at the same time, I hook up with girls too and I'm attracted to them.
1:30:12
Adam
Yeah, like Elton John was.
1:30:14
Drew
Were you sexually abused growing up?
1:30:15
Adam
Something like that.
1:30:16
Caller
Never. I had a completely normal upbringing.
1:30:19
Drew
No sexual abuse and you've never been addicted to anything?
1:30:21
Caller
Just sex.
1:30:23
Adam
All right.
1:30:24
Drew
What do you mean just sex?
1:30:25
Caller
Well, I mean, when I'm with a girl, we have sex twice a day. Whenever there's not a girl around.
1:30:32
Drew
You're describing the circumstances of if this is true, which I'm still having trouble.
1:30:38
Adam
It's not adding up, Kevin. Hey, Kevin, you know the Geneva Convention of Boguosity. You got to fess up, brother.
1:30:46
Caller
I really am not bogus. What were you going to say though, Drew? If this is true, what were you going to say?
1:30:50
Drew
That it just absolutely have to conclude that there was a sexual abuse history there, because that's what creates these behaviors. The confusion, the compulsive sexuality, the lack of specific sexual orientation. That all adds up to that.
1:31:08
Caller
The only two conclusions you can reach is either I was abused or I'm gay.
1:31:12
Drew
Both. No, no, no.
1:31:13
Adam
We're going to be abused and gay.
1:31:15
Drew
Abused, gay, and abused or bogus.
1:31:17
Adam
It's not bogus. It's bogus. Kevin, I'm hearing it in your voice. It's not coming through.
1:31:22
Caller
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but it's not.
1:31:26
Adam
I think you're staying with it.
1:31:28
Howie Mandel
They think you were abused, gay, and a liar.
1:31:30
Drew
Here's the problem. It's that unfortunately, because these are serious issues, if you're staying with it, we have to treat it with the according seriousness. If you were a sexual abuse survivor, which if you collect your history, I think you'll find something happened there.
1:31:50
Adam
He says no.
1:31:51
Drew
Well, and you're wondering about why you're so compulsive sexually as you described it, and you're having difficulty knowing why your sexual orientation is so difficult for you to make sense of, then go get some treatment for this and straighten things out. I've never heard of that though. Just a general therapist would be fine.
1:32:08
Adam
Never had a camp counselor take a pass at you or anything?
1:32:11
Caller
No, never.
1:32:12
Adam
Nothing.
1:32:13
Caller
Nothing.
1:32:14
Drew
Well, whatever. There's something here that needs to be straightened down and figured out. Straightened is probably not the direction it's going to go.
1:32:20
Adam
Something's wrong with God. Yeah. Something's wrong.
1:32:24
Drew
It's a very unsatisfying call.
1:32:25
Adam
Very unsatisfying. Something's wrong with that kid, and that's why I just get the bogus part.
1:32:30
Drew
Yeah.
1:32:30
Adam
I want to strangle him over the phone. But something wasn't adding up.
1:32:34
Caller
Right.
1:32:36
Adam
Drew, we've never had one of those really that we, once every-
1:32:40
Drew
We've had a strong bogus feeling and it wasn't bogus.
1:32:42
Adam
Once every 18 months, we have that.
1:32:45
Howie Mandel
Why don't you get that girl that you had on the call before to maybe double-check?
1:32:50
Drew
We have the double-checker.
1:32:51
Adam
Right.
1:32:52
Drew
Yeah, she's good.
1:32:52
Howie Mandel
The Florida and Germany girl. Not just check him.
1:32:55
Adam
Try one more time.
1:32:56
Drew
Double-check.
1:32:57
Adam
Now, I'm done with Kevin. I'll go to hell. Just get some therapy.
1:33:00
Howie Mandel
So you guys aren't happy unless he admits that it's bogus.
1:33:02
Drew
Well, there's a rule in this show.
1:33:05
Adam
It's hard when the bogus bell is ringing in your head really loudly.
1:33:08
Drew
Yeah, and they're talking about things that are very serious and very difficult and very painful and you can't connect with anything real, so you're talking about abstractions and it's very unsatisfying. We'll go get some treatment.
1:33:22
Adam
And he's a little bit of a wise ass, a little bit curt, a little bit short, a little bit of a smart ass. All right, so get some therapy.
1:33:29
Drew
Some treatment. See the mental health professional and go for it, which is unsatisfying. Here's what we're going to go at, here's what you look forward to.
1:33:35
Howie Mandel
I thought we helped him. I thought we identified a gay.
1:33:38
Adam
He's not going to do a thing.
1:33:39
Faggot better run.
1:33:41
Adam
And he just hung up.
1:33:41
Howie Mandel
Can't I feel like I helped him?
1:33:42
Drew
It's a bad sign when they hang up quickly like that.
1:33:45
Adam
He hung up quick.
1:33:45
Howie Mandel
You're ruining it for me. I thought I helped somebody.
1:33:47
Drew
We got to think of brain.
1:33:47
Howie Mandel
I identified his brother.
1:33:48
Drew
We do got to think of brain.
1:33:49
Adam
No, you did have it.
1:33:50
Drew
Thank you.
1:33:50
Adam
Sammo.
1:33:51
Drew
Hi.
1:33:52
Adam
You're attracted to younger girls?
1:33:54
Caller
I am actually, yeah.
1:33:56
Drew
How young?
1:33:57
Caller
Well, can I tell you something, Dr. Drew? Your call screener was challenging my use of the word hebofile.
1:34:06
Adam
You don't like cheers?
1:34:09
Caller
No, that's not what I'm saying, man. I'm saying like...
1:34:13
Adam
Sammo sounds like a delight. What's hebofile?
1:34:16
Caller
We'll look it up.
1:34:18
Howie Mandel
All right. Hebofile, people that does... He does young Jews. He does young Jews.
1:34:23
Adam
He cruises bot mitzvahs. We'll take ourselves a break and be right back after this.
1:34:28
Howie Mandel
All right, guys. Here's the deal.
1:34:30
Howie Mandel
Looking to hook up?
1:34:30
Caller
Call the Dateline.
1:34:31
Howie Mandel
Sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
1:34:33
Caller
Call the Dateline.
1:34:34
Caller
One call is all you need to make.
1:34:35
Caller
Call the Dateline.
1:34:37
Howie Mandel
1-877-889. Date. If you need help, call Loveline.
1:34:45
Caller
1-800-LOVE-191.
1:35:14
Adam
Yeah. Well, that's it. Great to be back, even if we even get on for the first 10 or 15 minutes. I want to thank Howie Mandel and give Howie another quick plug. Hidden Howie is going to be on Bravo 11 o'clock, August 18th, this Thursday.
1:35:30
Howie Mandel
So watch me annoy people.
1:35:32
Adam
Yeah. I'm going to be watching. I've seen the promos and they look provocative. Drew will be on, I'll be on Comedy Central this week. And then of course, you got the Aristocrats opening up on Friday.
1:35:43
Howie Mandel

1:35:46

We'll take a little extendo break and until next time this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying Mahalo.
