This is Loveline.
1:16
Voiceover
With Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:19
Voiceover
Well, not exactly. This is Dr. Drew. It is Loveline. The phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. Corolla is off in Pebble Beach or something at a car rally. Quite, to my great pleasure, instead of Adam tonight, we have not Nicole Kidman, in fact, but Kathy Griffin.
1:36
Adam
That's right. I'm here. And Adam is at a car show?
1:39
Drew
He's at a car rally looking for a-
1:41
Adam
What does that mean, a car rally?
1:42
Drew
It's basically- Anderson, do that on the air, please. Don't stop us like that. He yelled, turn Kathy Griffin up.
1:49
I said turn her up.
1:51
Drew
Thank you very much.
1:51
I don't want to interrupt the show.
1:53
Drew
But you interrupt us. No one else knows why we're stopping our conversation.
1:56
Adam
What is a car show? Is that a NASCAR?
1:58
Drew
No, it's like an international competition of people who collect cars and show cars.
2:04
Adam
Is he performing or is he going to purchase one?
2:06
Drew
Oh, he's looking at one. He's going to buy another car.
2:09
Adam
Another? He has a car thing too? I thought he just had a house thing.
2:11
Drew
He has a warehouse of cars.
2:13
Adam
He what?
2:14
Drew
Yes.
2:14
Adam
I've never seen him in a spectacular car.
2:16
Drew
Because they're in the warehouse.
2:18
Adam
That's like Jerry Seinfeld where they're at a hangar at DC 10 or whatever.
2:22
Drew
Yes, it's pretty annoying. But it's sort of like a dog show, dog show, but cars.
2:28
Adam
So it's like best in show?
2:29
Drew
Yes. Okay.
2:30
Adam
Now does he soup them up and then go compete?
2:33
Drew
No, he soups them up.
2:35
Adam
Like Westminster Car Show?
2:36
Drew
No, he had an M3 and he put a supercharger in it. Now it sits in his garage and he props up the hood for people to look at when they come around and visit him.
2:43
Kiss my hairy ass.
2:45
Adam
Is Adam rapping?
2:49
Drew
No.
2:49
Adam
Is he in someone's pound? Like is he in a dog pound?
2:52
Drew
No, no. He's just making lots of money doing Howard Stern's job and doing Comedy Central and stuff.
2:58
Adam
All right.
2:58
Drew
He has no kids and he has all these houses that he's bought over the years.
3:02
Adam
Now, I want to know psychologically what you think that says about Adam, that he likes the cars, which are toys, right?
3:07
Drew
He likes everything that's not his dad. So anything wrenching, anything mechanic, flying model airplanes, cars, which he had a passion for as a kid, he liked to make, he used to ride a unicycle around as a kid. This is great, we're going to talk about Adam the whole time he's not here.
3:22
Adam
Yeah.
3:22
Drew
Then he ended up being a vice-poor guy.
3:23
Adam
Because I've always known there's something wrong with him, but I never could pinpoint it until tonight.
3:27
Drew
Oh, deeply. That's the thing about his dad. So he's got to be everything his dad is.
3:31
Adam
Okay.
3:31
Drew
But then his mom, he and his mom, he once, when I first met him, he said he had a bad dream. He goes, that's horrible dream. These two haunchy women, and he'd always described his mom and his grandmother as haunchy women.
3:41
Adam
What does that mean?
3:42
Drew
Just sort of hippie. He goes, these two haunchy hippie women, also I described his mom and grandmother.
3:47
Adam
He's got the skinny wife too.
3:49
Drew
Yeah. His wife has no hips. But she wasn't, yeah right. Kind of compensate for that.
3:53
Adam
So the opposite of mom.
3:54
Drew
But these two women, these two haunchy women, were beating him over the head while he was trying to get out of a swimming pool with his own testes.
4:01
Adam
Wow. It's so hard to figure out.
4:04
Drew
Yes, Dr. Freud. I wonder what that means. Wow. Yeah.
4:07
Adam
Okay. Now, have you met his mom and dad?
4:09
Drew
Yeah. They're very nice people.
4:10
Adam
I knew it.
4:10
Drew
Yeah, of course.
4:11
Adam
I knew that if you met them, you'd think they were.
4:13
Drew
But they probably were not great parents. They weren't not available as parents.
4:16
Adam
Not emotionally available.
4:17
Drew
Yeah.
4:17
Adam
Okay.
4:18
Drew
And of course, that becomes a way of living.
4:20
Adam
That they're monsters, right? That's what I like to do with my parents too. I like to make them out to be so much worse than they already are.
4:26
Drew
Really? Where did you grow up?
4:27
Adam
In Chicago.
4:28
Drew
Whereabouts?
4:28
Adam
Oak Park on the west side. That's nice part, right? Oak Park has the fancy part, and then it has the more middle-class part.
4:34
Drew
Is it near Evanston, kind of?
4:36
Adam
Evanston is the similar, where there's really fancy Evanston, and then there's middle-class Evanston.
4:39
Drew
Are you all thrust into the same school system?
4:41
Adam
Well, there's a class system there, and it's not unlike in India, where there's a cast system, exactly.
4:46
Drew
You're not a Brahmin.
4:47
Adam
No, nor am I a Shaman. Now, my life was like a John Hughes movie, and I was Anthony Michael Hall. So that's who I was.
4:56
Drew
Wow.
4:57
Adam
I was neither Molly Ringwald nor was I Ali Shady.
5:00
Drew
How did you end up out here?
5:02
Adam
My parents decided to retire in California because of their mutual love for golf.
5:06
Drew
What were they doing? What were their professions?
5:08
Adam
They retired. My dad worked at Hi-Fi stores, and right away that's dating me to say Hi-Fi.
5:12
Drew
Yes. They can say stereo.
5:13
Adam
Like Sam Good, not Sam Goody, like good guys.
5:16
Drew
There was nothing like that then. No, but then they were like mom and pop things.
5:20
Adam
My mom worked in the office of a hospital. Just administrative. Right.
5:24
Drew
Yeah. They had enough to retire, and then you were-
5:27
Adam
Well, we lived in this apartment in Santa Monica, across from Santa Monica High, and I lived with my parents far too long. I went off and lived with a guy for a while, and then I actually came home and lived at home for a year when I was 28, and that was really pathetic.
5:40
Drew
When were you in the groundlings?
5:41
Adam
I was in the groundlings at the time, which I don't think has ever happened since then.
5:45
Drew
That somebody lived with their parents and was in the groundlings.
5:46
Adam
Although I do remember Will Farrell and his brother lived with his mom while he was in the groundlings too.
5:52
Drew
See? Maybe that explains something about the people that are attracted to you and your work. Just saying.
5:58
Adam
No, of course, I understand. Then the weird thing is that then Adam's mom beat me in a pool.
6:04
Drew
With his testes. Yes, with his testes.
6:06
Adam
I don't know what it means.
6:07
Drew
Well, again, Dr. Freud. Now, it's Kathy Griffin, my life on the D-list.
6:12
Adam
My Bravo Smash It Show.
6:13
Drew
Bravo, 10 o'clock Wednesdays, right? Right. Then Kathy Griffin is not Nicole Kidman.
6:17
Adam
That's my special, my current straight stand-up special that's running.
6:20
Drew
Also on Bravo?
6:21
Adam
Yes, also on Bravo.
6:23
Drew
Tell me what that means.
6:24
Adam
Well, I, you know, a lot of my act is of course making fun of celebrity culture because I enjoy that and I like to take them down. And I call the Kathy Griffin is not Nicole Kidman because a lot of people mistake her for my older chubbier sister. And I wanted to clear that up. I don't, you know, we're not related. I know we look alike, but I've never met Nicole Kidman. I've never even met her. That's what's so weird about how people keep thinking I'm her.
6:44
Drew
It's kind of spooky how much like Katie Holmes, she looks like.
6:48
Yes.
6:48
Drew
Yes.
6:48
Adam
And the height and the whole thing.
6:49
Drew
Yeah.
6:50
Adam
But I do like that Nicole Kidman apparently never went for Scientology and I don't know how she stayed out of it.
6:55
Drew
Her father's a famous Austrian or Australian psychologist.
7:00
Adam
Yeah.
7:00
Drew
Famous.
7:00
Adam
Right.
7:01
Drew
That's how she, I know.
7:03
Adam
But 10 years, probably fighting with him about the crazy Scientology.
7:07
Drew
Or maybe just agreeing to disagree and stay out of it kind of thing.
7:10
Adam
Right.
7:10
Drew
It seems like he's gotten more into it lately.
7:12
Adam
More into it. I blame Mimi Rogers. I really do. She started the whole thing. She got Cruz into it. And then you got Travolta and then Ali and the whole gang.
7:19
Drew
She's the one starting.
7:20
Adam
Next thing you know, you're losing Beck.
7:22
Drew
Is she with him now?
7:23
Adam
No, but Beck is the Scientologist.
7:24
Drew
He is? Beck.
7:26
Adam
Beck. Our Beck.
7:28
Drew
Oh my God.
7:29
Adam
I know. Jason Lee from Chasing Amy and the Kempis.
7:32
Yeah.
7:33
Adam
Giovanni Ribisi.
7:35
Drew
What?
7:36
Adam
Where will they stop?
7:37
Drew
You know, it feels, well, I don't want not to disparage anybody. Of course not. I'm not interested in that, but it feels cultish. I mean, it feels, you know.
7:46
Adam
Well, it's declared a cult in Germany, of course. Is it? But yeah. I feel like Scientology is one of those things where when I hear that someone's a Scientologist, my opinion just kind of goes down a couple of notches. I don't think they're evil. No, no. It's one of those things where I go, oh, I didn't know that.
8:00
Drew
Well, it's just whenever there's an us-them mentality in any group, when we know the truth and everyone else might try to persuade you away from that, but we know the truth and they're all evil because that's a problem.
8:10
Adam
Which I believe is that we're aliens, right? Isn't that the Scientology is that it's all about the aliens and the body fetens and all that?
8:16
Drew
Oh, I hope not.
8:17
Adam
I believe so.
8:18
Drew
That's more the Branch Davidians.
8:21
Adam
I, who are still going strong. I, yeah, I, one thing that's been really fun for me about the whole Tom Cruise meltdown is it's fun seeing all the magazines pick up kind of like the tenets of Scientology. So you'll open the star or in touch and they'll say, what we were able to learn this weekend in touch about Scientology. Apparently, Elrod Hubbard thought he was an alien. So, I mean, it's funny because you know, the press has been so gun shy about saying anything about Scientology for so long and now Tom Cruise jumps on the couch and it's all over. We all want to know what makes him tick.
8:47
Drew
Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah. Well, all right. Let's take some calls, shall we? All right. Enough about Scientology. This is... This now is Billy's 19. Billy.
8:58
Hey, how's it going?
8:59
Drew
Hey, you're on with Kathy Griffin. What's going on?
9:00
Oh, I can't orgasm my girlfriend.
9:03
I have to fake it.
9:04
Drew
How come?
9:05
I don't know.
9:06
Like, here's a little story. Like, when I first met her, I noticed she had, like, stress marks on her stomach. And I wondered about that. And then she always had this kid with her. Like, she watches this kid.
9:19
Drew
And she says she's her friend. You think that's her baby?
9:21
Well, then here's the thing. I went to a hospital. The kid got sick. They went to the hospital. And the actual mother was there. And then they asked, what was the mother here? And her friend was there. And that's why it's kind of hard for me to feel like it's her kid.
9:33
But I don't know.
9:35
It's just, I just can't do it.
9:37
Drew
Why are you with this girl?
9:39
I don't know. I haven't had a girlfriend in like a real long time. So I figured I'd just take back.
9:43
Adam
How old are you?
9:44
Drew
19. Isn't nice. Aren't guys sweet?
9:48
Adam
I just want to say, every time on the show, out the gate, I can never get a normal call. No offense, Billy.
9:53
Drew
Billy's about as normal as we get here.
9:55
Adam
I know. Every time I'm sitting here and it's out the gate, I can't orgasm because of stretch marks. I mean, give me five minutes.
10:02
Drew
No, but what's weird about this, so it's not the not orgasm part, but that he is so unemotionally attached to this woman and yet just wants a place to sort of dock.
10:09
Adam
Yeah.
10:10
Drew
What are you going to do?
10:12
Adam
Well, you can orgasm with her, right?
10:14
No.
10:15
Adam
But on your own, it's party time.
10:17
Oh, yeah.
10:17
Adam
Okay. I'm interested to know how you fake it. Do you use a condom?
10:23
Yeah.
10:24
Adam
Does she ever want to see the condom?
10:26
What was that?
10:27
Adam
Does she ever want to see the proof in the condom?
10:29
No, that's the thing.
10:29
I always have to grab it and run to the bathroom with it.
10:32
Wow.
10:33
Drew
He's good, huh? I like to see it.
10:35
Adam
I like to see the proof.
10:36
Drew
Sheffield is not dead, Kathy. It's not dead in this country.
10:38
Adam
So they're gentlemen.
10:39
Drew
They're gentlemen. Billy is one of them. Billy, here's the deal. You're not into this girl. I understand you're lonely. I understand that you had to share something with her, but either let's get it together and get into this thing a little bit, have a relationship, or let's move on. It's just not fair to anyone.
10:55
Adam
You can have stretch marks at 19.
10:56
Drew
It's not the stretch marks that's bothering you.
10:57
Adam
What is she, 60?
10:58
Drew
Whatever it is about her, she's not really is not anymore. She's just not. Angel, 20.
11:02
Hi.
11:03
Drew
Hey, what's going on?
11:04
I am wondering if I may have a sexual addiction that's starting to form.
11:09
Drew
Yeah.
11:10
I've been listening to the show for years and years and years, but I just figured I'd call and ask myself.
11:15
Drew
All right, here we go.
11:17
I have a serious, serious, serious porno habit. I may watch three or four of them a day.
11:24
Drew
Oh, man. How long have you been doing that for?
11:29
Probably since my junior year of high school, so about, what, 17. Yeesh.
11:33
Drew
And does it impair your functioning or make it so that you don't have relationships? Are you spending lots of money?
11:39
Oh, no, no, no. I'm in a relationship. No, I just download them all.
11:44
They're all free.
11:45
Drew
Do you? They're all free.
11:48
Adam
That's the important thing. Next call.
11:50
Drew
Do you, they have sex with this partner?
11:53
Adam
Drew, are you a man or a woman?
11:54
I'm a female. I know I have a really deep voice, but I'm a-
11:57
Adam
I do too. I'm with you. So you're, are you lesbian?
12:00
No, no.
12:01
Adam
All right. Sorry, sorry. All right. So you're with a guy.
12:03
Yeah.
12:04
Drew
Do you have sex with this guy?
12:05
No.
12:06
Drew
No. Okay. And why is that? Too busy with the porn. All right.
12:11
Are you Christian? Yeah.
12:14
Adam
That's got to go. Am I right, Drew?
12:17
Drew
Catholic has got to go. Christian has got to go.
12:18
Adam
All religion has to go. It screws everybody up. It's ridiculous. Trust me. Put down the Bible. Put down the porn.
12:24
Drew
You'll be fine. Angel, it's all good. No, no. We're not criticizing your decision to wait until you're married. The question I have though is with this porn compulsion and whatnot, were you sexually abused when you were younger?
12:34
No.
12:35
Drew
Were you exposed to pornographic material at a very young age?
12:38
No.
12:39
Drew
Were you physically abused anytime?
12:42
I know you consider spanking physical abuse, so I guess I have to technically answer yes.
12:46
Drew
Were you spanked with an object? That's sort of where I'm concerned.
12:49
Yeah.
12:49
Drew
All right. Were you masturbating as a young child?
12:53
No. That didn't start until I was about 14, I guess.
12:57
Drew
Okay. Here's the thing, you're not having consequence. You don't have an overt trauma history. You're not an alcoholic or addict, right?
13:08
Caller
Occasional use, but that's about it.
13:11
Adam
What does use mean?
13:12
Caller
I drink on occasion. I smoke a little weed on occasion, but it's not like addict. If I never smoked again, it wouldn't bother me.
13:20
Drew
At least at this point, you should not go on it. It doesn't add up to addiction for me. It was more in the compulsion category. Maybe it's Kathy's on to something with the religion thing. Were you beaten over the head with religious ideas?
13:35
Caller
I wouldn't say beaten over the head. It was just something I was always raised around. From the time I can remember, we've always gone to church, and we were always involved in church activities.
13:44
Adam
Are you Catholic?
13:45
No, I'm a Pentecostal.
13:46
Adam
Oh, those nutbags. You gotta get out of that, baby.
13:49
Drew
No, no, no. Boy, Kathy.
13:51
Adam
I'm Catholic. They screw up everything.
13:53
Drew
Anything to do with religion? No. I'm actually quite a little more magnanimous about all this. I have no problem with religion, but my concern is sometimes you get abused with religion, or people that are aggressive about their religious ideas, and it hurts young children. Listen, I don't think you have a problem. You just got to control yourself to have it.
14:12
Adam
She's watching Three Pornos a Day and she's a girl. That's not a woman's nature.
14:15
Drew
Some women will do that.
14:17
Adam
Angel, I have a question because I am obsessed with what porn does and how it depicts women and stuff. Now, let me ask you this. Do you find that the porn that you're into now is more brutal than it was when you started? Do you find to get you going, you got to have the girls really being hit and all that stuff?
14:35
Caller
No, no, that stuff turns my stomach.
14:38
Drew
But you do bring up an interesting point. True porn addicts usually get into more and more wilder stuff.
14:43
Adam
Then she's getting humiliated and she's getting peed on and all that stuff.
14:45
Drew
Or they go towards kids or they go towards what?
14:47
Adam
Kids, ew.
14:48
Drew
Just I'm saying that people need, because most addicts, porn addicts, particularly internet porn addicts have a sexual abuse history, and so they naturally go down that path towards kids.
14:58
Adam
Because I'm fascinated by the garden variety porn, I can see. But I'm not sure what it is that makes people want to watch other people get hurt. No, I don't get it. Kids, or women, or even gay porn, or whatever.
15:10
Drew
I cannot relate.
15:10
Adam
But I think it's interesting that Angel watches a lot of porn.
15:13
Drew
But it's all in the sweet spot for her, it's just normal.
15:15
Adam
Okay.
15:16
Drew
She's not up in the ante, she's not having consequences, she's not having-
15:19
Adam
Angel, don't watch that horrible porn where they beat the women and stuff.
15:22
Drew
Here's the bottom line.
15:23
Caller
No, no, not any of these.
15:24
Drew
Angel, I think you ought to just kind of, it's like any other habit that's getting out of control. Kind of get it together here a little bit. Focus on your relationship, focus on other. Probably what this is is a way to regulate your moods. You've been depressed lately?
15:37
Caller
No, not lately, a couple of years back, but not lately.
15:40
Drew
All right. It becomes a way of just sort of regulating.
15:43
Adam
Have you tried cookie dough? Cookie dough is very tasty and very distracting.
15:49
Drew
All right. But the fact is that some people use section, things like that, as a way of regulating. Other people who have been traumatized, as a way to think about this, I cannot, as a human, cannot relate to the goofy stuff. I just, I can't even understand the whole anal sex thing that people are so into these things. Thank you. But the way I come to terms with it is I know that people, when they have powerful experiences as a young child during development, it can sort of, let's say, burn out their arousal centers. That's a way to think about it. So in order to feel intense arousal, you have to up the ante, so to speak.
16:21
Adam
So how do you get back from that precipice?
16:22
Drew
That's a neurobiological thing. You may not. What?
16:26
Adam
So like you start out watching normal porn, then by the time you're 20 or 25, you're watching girls getting peed on and stuff. And then you can never go back to just nice, gentle, normal love making?
16:35
Drew
What we don't know is if that person never been exposed to the intense stuff, would they have never urged, gone down some crazy path like that anyway in some other aspect of their life? Or is this just something that was neurobiologically set before they were ever exposed to the porn? And I think the latter is probably the case. So there you go. It's good times, huh? Well, let's get some more religious questions going here. Jessica 18.
17:01
Kathy Griffin
Hi.
17:01
Adam
Jessica?
17:02
Drew
Hey there.
17:03
Kathy Griffin
Hi.
17:04
Drew
By the way, one second, I was quoted on some articles. I'm treating that celebrity. And I learned a new word. I was described as cloying.
17:15
Adam
What does that mean?
17:17
Drew
Serf it, saccharin.
17:18
Adam
Okay. Too nice.
17:20
Drew
So I got to get a little edge going here. Okay.
17:23
Adam
I don't think I'm going to be the nice one.
17:25
Drew
Well, I just got to be a little less nice.
17:26
Adam
Okay.
17:26
Drew
Because I don't want to be cloying.
17:28
Adam
All right.
17:28
Drew
Jessica, what's going on?
17:30
Kathy Griffin
My question is whether or not I should tell my parents that I'm gay. Because I've told them previously, like when I was 15 years old, I told my mom, I think maybe I am, I don't know, I'm wondering or not. And she pretty much just told me, you know, go out with a couple of guys, see all that goes, and you know, I love you no matter what, but.
17:55
Drew
Well, that's a nice response. There you go.
17:57
Adam
How old are you now?
17:58
Kathy Griffin
I'm 18 now. So, you know, it's been a-
18:01
Drew
I'm sorry, when did that happen?
18:02
Adam
She said when she was 15.
18:03
Drew
15? I mean, that's a very-
18:04
Adam
Very P-flag. Very enlightened, progressive attitude your mom has. What about your dad, though?
18:11
Drew
My dad, you're kidding. Your dad's going to be a relief. Get rid of the penis. Fine. No problem. No problem.
18:16
Kathy Griffin
What's that? I didn't really talk to my dad about it. But my dad did bring it up like last year and he said, do you still have these feelings? He's a couple of guys and I said, yeah, I do. He said, well, I'm a Christian and this is wrong.
18:31
Adam
Here we go.
18:33
Drew
But again, was he just offering his opinion or was he demanding that you sort of cave in to his-
18:39
Kathy Griffin
He never told me, you cannot do this.
18:42
Adam
You know the Christians are nuts about this stuff. They hate the gays for no reason.
18:46
Kathy Griffin
I have friends now that are gay and my dad says, you know, well, maybe you should talk to him, you know, convert him over. I'm like, you can't convert somebody from what they've been their entire life, you know?
18:56
Drew
All right. What is your question?
18:57
Adam
Should she tell the mom and dad?
18:59
Kathy Griffin
Like to tell my mom and dad, because I'm finally in a relationship where I'm happy.
19:04
Drew
With a female.
19:04
Kathy Griffin
I feel that I'm comfortable with a woman. Are you living at home? I feel comfortable with it.
19:09
Drew
Are you living at home?
19:11
Kathy Griffin
Yes, I am.
19:12
Drew
When you're not living at home, then you tell your parents.
19:15
Kathy Griffin
I'm moving to college in a couple of days, so.
19:17
Drew
Perfect. Then when you're away for a while and get some support from what we usually recommend is people get support from other homosexual male and females who've been through this. So if it doesn't go the way you want it to.
19:26
Adam
I bet the school has a group, right?
19:28
Drew
Yeah, I'm sure there's always organizations that... Where are you going to school? Madison?
19:32
Kathy Griffin
Cass College and...
19:34
Adam
Oh, Christ.
19:35
Drew
Beautiful.
19:36
Adam
What are you nuts? You got to switch out of there. You'd be better off going back to high school.
19:41
Kathy Griffin
Yeah, I know.
19:41
Drew
Well, there's gay and lesbian youth centers in most of the world.
19:43
Adam
I just want to say when they start to quote Leviticus, just tell them the next thing in Leviticus is how we should also own slaves.
19:48
Drew
All right?
19:48
Adam
So when the Christians start the crap about Leviticus, it says, you know, they're so full of it, these crazy Christians, all religions.
19:55
Kathy Griffin
I have another question.
19:55
Drew
Kathy, so bitter. I thought you were...
19:58
Adam
Religion is ruining the whole world.
19:59
Drew
Well, it certainly has got a problem right now.
20:02
Adam
She sounds like a nice lesbian.
20:03
Drew
Fundamentalism is ruining the world. And it's interesting, the only... Do you realize the only religion...
20:07
Adam
There was some of the priests and nuns in my school were nutbags.
20:10
Drew
But they're probably fundamentalists. The only religions that have fundamentalism are monotheistic religions. There's no such thing as a polytheism. Hindu fundamentalists, Buddhist fundamentalists, they don't exist.
20:19
Adam
Yeah, but the Buddhists also make the seven-year-olds be monks. Okay? They're all bad, Drew.
20:24
Kathy Griffin
I also have a question that has to do with the gay issue.
20:28
Drew
Go ahead.
20:29
Kathy Griffin
I was sexually abused when I was very young, when I was three, four, and five.
20:35
Drew
By whom?
20:37
Kathy Griffin
By a guy that was our babysitter.
20:41
Drew
Beautiful thing.
20:42
Adam
Three.
20:43
Kathy Griffin
My brother was also sexually abused, but he is straight and he doesn't have like, I know he has problems with it because it just seems like that. Because I'm his sister and we're really close because we both got abused.
20:59
Drew
And my older brother- As you know, if you listen to this show, what tends to happen from that is you can have difficulty with their sexual identity, confusion about it, and or really it's sort of a recipe for creating, I lack of a better way of saying this, becoming homosexual and it wires it in. It's not something you can unwire as you pointed out, Jessica. And it can have about a 60 percent probability of making one preoccupied sexually towards children. So it's something to watch out with your brother, maybe talk to him about it if he can get some help with that. Because it can be treated, that part can be brought along a little bit.
21:33
Kathy Griffin
Do you think that because I was sexually abused, that is why I do not like men?
21:40
Drew
Well, it's not that simple, but you know, there's sort of two ways that people seem to become homosexual, particularly homosexual males, they get sexually abused, and then that affects their sexual orientation, or they're born that way. Some people are born that way, or some combination of gene environment interaction. But on this show, we talk mostly to people who have been sexually abused and then have sexual identities.
21:59
Adam
Is Jessica's brother going to molest kids?
22:01
Drew
Well, that's the question, and only she's going to be able to get at that, I suspect. There's treatment, Jessica, for that, if he is going that way. Please get him to help before he hurts somebody. That's the bottom line.
22:13
Adam
Three years old.
22:14
Drew
I know, real quickly. Here's Nancy 22. Nancy, what's going on there?
22:19
Caller
I'm here.
22:19
Drew
Yep, we're here, too. Kathy Griffin, the great Kathy Griffin.
22:22
Adam
Hey, Nancy.
22:23
Caller
Oh, hey.
22:25
Drew
Who lives on the D-list.
22:26
I'm a huge fan.
22:27
Adam
Oh, thank you.
22:29
You as well, Kathy.
22:30
Caller
You're super, super funny.
22:31
Adam
Oh, I said thank you to the Dr. Drew part. Okay, I'm sorry. Go ahead. That's D-list. I'm just saying thank you. Oh, I'm an expert on this. Good. I get like one a month.
22:41
Caller
Oh, my God.
22:42
Okay, me too.
22:43
Adam
Okay, they're a nightmare, right? They're a hellish nightmare.
22:47
Caller
It's so painful, and I have been getting them since I've been 18, and I get them after I have sex. And I've been to lots of different doctors, and nobody's been able to give me a reason why. And I think it's related to penis size.
23:04
Caller
Dr. Drew, does that sound...
23:06
Drew
Well, yes, it is related to pressure on the urethra, and that it can be caused by position. It can be caused by what somebody does with their hand or their mouth, and it can be caused by what somebody does with their penis. And some women just get this. They just tend to have a certain amount of reflux of bacterial from the vagina into the bladder, and they just get it. There are women who take antibiotics every day to avoid this, and women who take, and or take just after intercourse every time as a way of trying to avoid this.
23:33
Adam
May I interject?
23:34
Drew
Kathy?
23:34
Adam
I consider myself to be something of an expert. I will say to you, Nancy, Nancy? Yeah, when I was a younger woman and I was having sex with several men, none of whom believed in God.
23:46
Drew
When she was a hoe, when she was a hoe.
23:47
Adam
When I was a hoe in the 80s. No, I know one thing that I used to do was when I was, I would not be so open with the guy about, look, you can't be so rough with your hand, you can't be so rough with your mouth, and you really need to make sure I'm good and lubed up. Because I think some of it is if you're not lubed up enough and there's so much friction that sometimes you don't want to stop the guy and some of these young guys want to go for like 17 hours in a row.
24:12
Drew
That's how to go in, too long is a good way.
24:14
Adam
Too long is the way you get and the other thing is, I got some really simple great advice which was, just make sure that right after you're done with it, of course, you pee right away. Make sure you pee.
24:25
Caller
I do that. I've tried everything from peeing before and peeing after.
24:29
Drew
How are you being treated now? What's that? How are you being treated now?
24:33
Caller
Well, the doctor wanted to do the antibiotic thing every single night, well, after I have sex, but I didn't want to do that because I know antibiotics, if you take it for so long, I mean, I've already been on antibiotics way too much for being 22 years old, and I'm feeling, I mean, it's going to take all my body.
24:49
Drew
No, it tends not to. The two antibiotics that are used for this, one is called macrodentin, and that one has a side effect on the liver and lungs, which you either get or you don't get, and if you don't get it, it can be tolerated for long periods of time without any significant effect. The other that they use after intercourse is called SEPTRA, or Bactrum, and that one also has no known effect, provides you're not allergic to it. All of these can affect the resistance patterns of bacteria in your bowel, in your bladder, and whatnot.
25:20
Adam
What about the way she's wiping? Is that an issue?
25:22
Drew
Sure. That's an issue for the environment, for all of us, but that's not an issue for you so much.
25:27
Adam
I will say that I used to get them all the time, and now I don't get them.
25:30
Drew
Have you tried changing positions?
25:33
Caller
Yeah, I've tried everything, different positions. I don't get it all the time after sex. I get it from, I was getting it continuously with this one guy, and then once I changed partners, I never got it from him, and now I'm with this new guy.
25:43
Drew
There you go, it was the devil penis. It was the devil penis. Yeah. It was.
25:46
Caller
I'm with this new guy now, and he, I get it, I've had it twice already from him, but it's just such a hassle.
25:52
Drew
Well, here's what I suggest you do, is you pay very careful attention to what you're doing that causes your infection, be prepared to have to take antibiotics a few more times, and see if you can figure out what the two of you are doing mechanically and then not do that, and you should be much, much better. Okay?
26:08
Caller
Okay.
26:09
Drew
All right.
26:10
Adam
Nancy, by the way, Oh, it's a nightmare.
26:12
Drew
as you're finding Nancy a common problem, even the great Kathy Griffin had one.
26:15
Adam
Oh, plague. Last time I had it to the hospital, I had one. It went into my liver and my kidney and the whole thing.
26:22
Drew
That's good times.
26:23
Adam
So much fun being on the IV in a hospital.
26:25
Drew
Being a woman.
26:26
Yeah. Yeah.
26:27
Drew
I'm telling you, women take the lion's share. So many things. We have so much to talk about. All right. Kathy Griffin is my guest tonight. Adam Corolla is off buying exotic cars in Pebble Beach.
26:36
Adam
He gets to just take off work for that?
26:37
Drew
Well, he has a lot of vacation time.
26:38
Adam
Well, what if I just want to leave and go to Krispy Kreme right now?
26:42
Drew
You're welcome to. I mean, you could because you're here as a kindness of your heart. He has vacation time. All right. The phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. I'll be right back with Kathy Griffin.
26:55
Love Line will be right back.
26:57
So get your problems ready. Ready. Heat things up with new Durex warming condoms.
27:03
Caller
There's sex and then there's Durex.
27:28
Drew
Man, it's Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. Kathy Griffin is our guest and co-host, and we're delighted to have her.
27:34
Adam
Dilling out a lot of very healthy advice.
27:36
Drew
Great from the D-list, healthy advice from the D-list. And let's see, let's get going straight to it.
27:42
I love anal sex.
27:44
Adam
Okay.
27:45
Drew
I don't think that was Kathy.
27:45
Adam
That was not a call.
27:46
Drew
No. Just a sec, just a sidebar here. I am so interested in how profoundly different men and women are. You know what I mean? And don't you think that particularly sort of for the last 30 or 40 years, we've been telling everybody that men and women are the same?
28:01
Adam
That's insane.
28:02
Drew
It is insane, right? But don't you remember that in the 70s?
28:05
Adam
Yes.
28:05
Drew
Everybody's the same.
28:06
Adam
Turns out we've done all the studies in Masters and Johnson and we're all the same. We have the same sex drive.
28:10
Drew
Except the-
28:10
Adam
We want the same thing.
28:11
Drew
Same way, same thing, except the man, some society has converted one group into one set of priorities. Right. It's like, no, no, no. The thing I always tell people is, look, there's things called chromosomes that have a couple thousand genes on it. We differ from our closest chimpanzee relative by a couple hundred genes. I differ from Kathy by an entire chromosome with thousands of genes on it.
28:37
Adam
Yes.
28:38
Drew
It's different.
28:39
Adam
The one that I'm really irritated with lately is the one where guys can never be couple before anything because we're just animals. Well, sure, I cheated on my wife 14 times, but you know what? We're animals. We do that.
28:50
Drew
Huge mistake. Huge mistake. Right. Guys would also crap on the floor and pee on people too, and stuff if they could. You know what I mean?
28:55
Adam
So you're saying they are animals?
28:56
Drew
I'm saying they have all kinds of impulses.
28:58
Adam
And ladies are pretty flowers.
28:59
Drew
No. I'm saying they have all kinds of impulses that need to be contained. The fact they don't contain them doesn't make them not responsible. Right. There's a guy named Lionel Tiger, actually out of my show. I have a show on Discovery Health Channel.
29:10
Adam
The sex show?
29:11
Drew
Yeah. I got to pick up my own guests and stuff, and I got a guy who's a famous biological anthropologist. Wrote a book called The Client of Males. He said that throughout human history, throughout the female human has tamed the male. It's the females have set the priorities and males have responded.
29:27
Adam
Well, we have to. We can't leave it up to you guys. You kidding?
29:30
Drew
We won't.
29:31
Adam
No, you would bathe.
29:31
Drew
That's right. We run them up.
29:32
Adam
Right. You'd all be dead from scurvy if you don't clean.
29:35
Drew
Why aren't women better to one another?
29:37
Adam
That is the mystery. It is the bane of my existence. It is my Achilles heel.
29:41
Drew
It's the greatest mystery.
29:42
Adam
Women turning on women. We are our own worst enemy. We turn on each other before a man.
29:48
Drew
Yes. Double standard credit by women.
29:50
Adam
It drives me crazy. If you watch Survivor, it's the women, all those men stick together like glue and the women all turn on each other. I don't know because there's only strength if we stick together. That's the only way.
29:59
Drew
That's exactly right.
30:00
Adam
I mean, the idea that the Supreme Court and men are deciding about women's issues is absurd to me and yet we let it happen. All those Republican women, we love our John Roberts. We love, we trust him. We trust our president. He knows better than I do. How? How is that even possible?
30:14
Drew
It's another interesting part of this too, is that women spend all their time obsessing about men. You read any women's magazine, it's not.
30:21
Adam
But it's like trying to please them in a way that truly sacrifices themselves. What? Not trying to please them. I always say that you should, if your boyfriend should at least be as nice to you as your girlfriends. If you had a girlfriend, meaning girl, if you're a girl and you have girlfriends and they cancel on you and they never pick up the tab for lunch, you dump them. But with guys, well, he didn't call, but he just got busy and he was watching the game. No, same standards.
30:44
Drew
And then subjugating all your own needs for his.
30:46
Adam
That is so crazy. What is that? It is our downfall. I feel like the women's movement is going backwards, and it's so frustrating to me.
30:54
Drew
Isn't it part of it that every movement that removes itself from reality on behalf of ideology gets a backlash?
31:00
Adam
By ideology, I think you know we're talking about Jesus.
31:03
Drew
No, I'm talking about the feminism.
31:04
Adam
But you know the religious thing is screwing women.
31:06
Drew
But the fact that-
31:06
Adam
It's so screwing women.
31:08
Drew
I think the feminism just got detached from reality, so people went, hey, this is BS. Forget it.
31:11
Adam
Right. I remember one time being a kid and someone saying, well, I believe that women are equal, but I'm not one of those feminists. But I thought, how did being a feminist turn into being a bad thing?
31:22
Drew
Right.
31:23
Adam
It's a good thing.
31:23
Drew
Because it needs to be a new version of it that's connected to reality.
31:27
Adam
I guess, but I don't want to be one of those bra burners. That's what I always heard when I was a kid. What's so hard about burning your bra? Who cares? You get a new one.
31:34
Drew
Did you ever go through a feminist phase?
31:36
Adam
I'm constantly in a feminist phase.
31:37
Drew
I mean, in the traditional sense.
31:39
Adam
Like what?
31:40
Drew
Now, kind of feminist.
31:41
Adam
Well, I live as a feminist. But the life that I lead is extremely non-traditional.
31:46
Drew
But no, but that feminism of that day and age was fearful of discussing, for instance, the reality of the biological differences between men and women. That's where all that stuff about where all the same came from. So you're sort of a newer version. You're saying, let's look at what's real and let's empower women.
32:03
Adam
But also, I'm not so down with Madonna was empowering. I'm not down with that whole, the whole Britney is empowering because she's slutty but she's rich. Right. I don't buy that whole thing, that whole BS of the girl's fighting to be with the thug because he's cool, and somehow they're accepted if they're in a bikini rubbing their butt against the thug. That makes no sense to me.
32:28
Drew
Yeah.
32:28
Adam
I'm like, no, you're letting them win at their own game.
32:30
Drew
Of course.
32:31
Adam
Yeah. There's no equity. That whole thing has changed just in my lifetime. Also, there's no one, like when I was a kid, it was Gloria Steinem. Gloria Steinem, she's a role model, and she's attractive, and she's smart, and she started the magazine. I don't, can you think of one person who's like that? We don't have a Gloria Steinem. We don't even have one. I mean, Gwen Stefani is cool.
32:50
Drew
You know what you have is a greater variety of those now. I mean, in a way, Hillary Clinton is one.
32:56
Adam
Yes.
32:57
Drew
And Gwen Stefani is one, but on different disciplines. You know what I mean?
33:01
Adam
But Gwen Stefani also has a song where she repeats over and over and over, shut up, you stupid hoe. I mean, that's not something Gloria Steinem would have done.
33:10
Drew
I'm just saying it's time for some new and open ideas about family. I'm just saying. All right, here you go. This now is Logan who's 15. What's up, Logan? Hey.
33:19
Caller
What's going on?
33:20
Adam
Hey, Logan.
33:21
Caller
Hey, obviously I have a question, so that's why I'm on here.
33:26
Adam
Right on.
33:27
Drew
Very funny.
33:28
Caller
Yeah. Thanks. I'm going out with two or three girls right now, and I'm really sexually active. But in my band that I'm in, it's all guys. I seriously, I just have an urge for them. It's just like I want to have sex with them. I don't know what's up with that.
33:48
Caller
Yeah.
33:49
Caller
I was wondering if you can help me out.
33:51
Drew
Well, either this is bogus.
33:53
Adam
I'm going to let you take this one, Drew.
33:54
Drew
Either this is bogus.
33:55
Adam
Now, I'm interested to know how you and Adam know the bogus calls. Because I can't tell.
33:59
Drew
Because how they make me feel.
34:00
Adam
Is it a visceral?
34:01
Drew
Okay. But I'm on the fence on this one.
34:04
Caller
Okay.
34:06
Drew
Or you were sexually abused growing up. In which case this-
34:09
Caller
Yes, I was. My father.
34:11
Drew
Okay. So this all starts to make sense then. And then the reason I'm not feeling it is his confusion or the way he expressed himself, whatever. Or it's still going to be bogus. He could be saying this just to-
34:20
Adam
Because he knows you guys love the sexual abuse.
34:23
Drew
I love it. I love it. So Logan, have you ever dealt with that? Have you ever had treatment for the trauma? I mean, just having a dad who's a perpetrator like that is pretty heavy.
34:33
Caller
Well, the only thing like just they separated when I was like four months old. Like it was like while I was a baby. I think like that's what my mom always tells me. I don't know why.
34:42
Drew
Oh, really?
34:43
Caller
It's really like-
34:44
Drew
Are you hypersexual now? I mean, are you sexually compulsive?
34:49
Caller
Kind of. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure really, dude.
34:54
All right.
34:56
Drew
Here's the deal. Is you sound confused. You're 15. Really what you need to do is nothing right now because-
35:06
Adam
All right.
35:07
Drew
I'm just looking for evidence that this is Cogs. Any minute I'm expecting something.
35:10
Adam
I know because it's kind of like he whispered to one of his friends. Yeah.
35:12
Drew
I'm going to put him on hold for a second. In calls like this, if this is true, what you need to do, Logan, is nothing. Not have girlfriends, not have boyfriends. It's fine you're in a band. It's fine to be attracted to everybody, but don't act on it. That's just going to add to your confusion. If you really are interested in changing, you say, what's up with that? You want to know what to do and how to change. Get somebody with mental health experience, maybe even from school, to sit and talk to you for a while and let you sort these feelings out before you hurt yourself or somebody else. Okay?
35:40
Adam
Rehearsal's over.
35:41
Drew
Good. Thank you. I still think that was bogus. Didn't you feel kind of un-like?
35:47
Adam
Yeah. I don't know.
35:48
Drew
Somebody really is desperate.
35:49
Adam
All I know is the gay guys I know and as you know, I know and have an army of them. Really? I know. It's a shock.
35:55
Drew
It's shocking.
35:55
Adam
The gay guys I know really don't want to sleep with women. I cannot tell you how much they don't want to sleep with women. So what I'm hearing, I'm 15, I'm attracted to guys but I sleep with lots of women.
36:05
Drew
Well, but that's- That's not my gaze. I don't really put him in the gay category, I put him in sort of confused. He may become more clear about his orientations, but he's alone but he's now confused.
36:15
Adam
See if the band gets a deal.
36:16
Drew
That's right. Chris is 27.
36:19
Yeah.
36:19
Drew
Chris? Hey, what's up there? Chris, a female. What's going on?
36:22
I let my husband have an affair because he had never been with anybody else.
36:27
Drew
Chris.
36:28
Caller
We split up and we got back together about eight months ago, but now I'm having a hard time trusting him.
36:34
Drew
Now, let's deconstruct this.
36:36
Adam
Did you guys get married when you were really young?
36:38
Yeah, I was 16.
36:40
Drew
Here's all the earmarks of what the story you're describing.
36:44
Adam
Jesus?
36:44
Drew
No. He's behind everything. As somebody gets married at 16 is running away from home, into a marriage, and she runs away, and that means there's abuse in the home. So she runs away, she's used to chaos and abuse, she gets a nice guy who's actually available, can't tolerate that, has to make sure she sabotages it, encourages him to have an affair, and then freaks out when he does it. So perfect, you've done it, you've re-created the chaos from your family of origin, and there you go, Chris, well done.
37:12
Adam
Now, did your dad have affairs?
37:15
No, my mom and dad have been married like five or six times apiece.
37:19
Drew
Yeah, chaos. What was the abuse you were running away from?
37:21
Just nobody ever been there.
37:24
Caller
I mean, it was like, I got bounced around from house to house to house.
37:27
Drew
Just chaos, chaos. Well, here you go, you're creating it in your current marriage, and is your husband an available nice guy?
37:35
Yeah, he's a nice guy, but he was really shy and.
37:39
Drew
Yeah, so he's not enough chaos for you. You got to juice it up, got to get it going there, Chris.
37:42
Adam
So if this is all she's ever known, how does she change?
37:46
Drew
This, Chris, requires therapy. You need treatment for this. You're going to screw this marriage up.
37:51
Caller
I've already gone through counseling and everything.
37:54
Drew
Gone through it? How many years?
37:57
Working on third year.
37:59
Drew
Third year. You're going through counseling. You're just getting there. I'm sure you're addressing this in therapy, the craziness of having your husband go have an affair, and then not be able to forgive him, have to encourage him to do it. It's all natural given the chaos you're from, but really what's motivating this, and this is something that kills me, Kathy. Really, in our society, we don't talk about what motivates, we talk about feelings. We're into that now.
38:20
Adam
Symptoms and panaceas.
38:21
Drew
What motivates you? What makes us from moment to moment choose things we choose? Then we have Dr. Phil out there, not to disparage, but it's like, oh, that ain't whole.
38:30
Adam
Come on, that fool.
38:31
Drew
But as he's saying, he always says, you just need to choose. Well, what motivates the choices and what's prevents you from making good choices is really something neurobiological, something very much deeper. And in Chris's case, she can't tolerate closeness. Proximity of other people is too much, so you got to inject some chaos.
38:46
Adam
She also hasn't had any. So every time she got close to somebody, they moved or she had to move.
38:49
Drew
Of course, but she compulsively has to recreate that. It's repetition, compulsion, and now she's done it. So the only way to undo that is with a skillful clinician, I just want to put something out there.
38:59
Adam
I know people that are in therapy and they've been in therapy for a while and they don't get better.
39:03
Drew
Yep, it happens.
39:04
Adam
But okay.
39:04
Drew
Some people are not candidates for therapy.
39:06
Adam
But also sometimes don't you think it's bad if the therapist just sort of agrees with everything you say?
39:11
Drew
Yeah, there's talent.
39:12
Adam
I mean, and also there are therapists that probably don't know when you're fooling them. Like I had a really brilliant friend once who went to MIT and he would sort of get off on fooling his therapist.
39:20
Drew
Well, but that is to the patient's detriment only, you know what I mean? Why bother, number one. But number two, drug addicts do that all the time. That's why drug addicts can't be treated with therapy, because they BS and manipulate and their brain is demanding they get back to drugs, and it's easy to BS somebody who's not a recovering person. So if you get another recovering person in front of you, sponsor, who can see all the earmarks and knows when you're in your disease and when you're not, you can't pull that crap off.
39:46
Adam
But my question is if she's in counseling now or therapy for a couple of years, maybe time to switch to therapist?
39:51
Drew
Maybe, maybe. She doesn't sound like somebody who's really highly motivated to change. She doesn't really put all those pieces together. We put together in a minute and a half. Yeah, I mean, you may need somebody, different people in different kinds of therapies. And I frankly don't fully get how you choose what for whom. There's cognitive behavioral therapy.
40:10
Adam
But to me, if after a certain amount of time, six months, a year, whatever, and you see no change, if you're unable- Somebody's not working the therapy. The therapist isn't working it or you're be essaying something.
40:19
Drew
It's usually the patient. But sometimes, some people have cognitive behavioral therapies where you bring things to consciousness and make different choices and understand things. That's very popular right now. There's a lot of evidence that that works and works efficiently. I'm not a huge fan of that.
40:33
Adam
Of what?
40:33
Drew
Of the cognitive behavioral therapies.
40:34
Adam
What does that mean?
40:35
Drew
It's like saying, well, let's take Chris who we were talking to. Chris, can you see the connections between what you're doing here? Well, let's look at things you might be able to make changes to do things better and to understand what that is. After you make those changes, we'll come back and talk about them and see how that felt as opposed to somebody just sitting and listening to you and forming a deeper relationship, which I think what Chris actually needs is a real capacity to tolerate intimacy. That doesn't happen so much with the cognitive behavioral therapies. Now, all the radios have turned off all of the country. I've successfully bored everybody. We'll take another break. We've got Darcy on hold. You can only orgasm with her legs closed.
41:12
Adam
I'd like to see a picture of that.
41:13
Drew
We will talk to her about it.
41:14
Adam
At least a mental picture.
41:15
Drew
1800LOVE191. Dr. Drew here with Kathy Griffin and we will return.
41:20
Hello, this is your radio. Love Line will be right back.
41:59
Drew
In fact, we are here with Kathy Griffin, the great Kathy Griffin, Hello. 1-800-LOVE-191. And we are talking to Darcy, who can only orgasm with her legs closed. And Kathy wants a picture.
42:09
Adam
I want your secret, Darcy, because I don't see this as a problem. I hope that this is just a helpful tip.
42:14
Well, I can't be in a orgasm in a mission, I have to decide.
42:18
Caller
And it's just, it's frustrating.
42:20
Can you hear me?
42:21
Drew
I'm going to- No, you need to get to a spot where- Yeah, we can't hear you. You need to get to a spot where you got a better cell phone reception or get to a landline or something. And we're going to go to another call now while we're waiting for her to do that. Even though Kathy's holding her breath, waiting for those tips.
42:36
Adam
I want to know.
42:37
Drew
Well, let me talk about that for a second. A lot of women, I think that's one of the reasons that women have difficulty having orgasm with intercourse. They can't quite get their legs in that locked position they like.
42:48
Adam
I don't have orgasm from intercourse ever.
42:50
Drew
You have what?
42:51
Adam
Ever, ever. It's an oral and manual.
42:53
Drew
Most women, that is most women.
42:54
Adam
I feel like it's a whole different area. You have the area where you're orgasm, and then a few centimeters down is a whole other party.
43:01
Drew
That's the receptive area.
43:02
Adam
Yes.
43:02
Drew
The receiving.
43:03
Adam
The receiving area and the orgasm area are a little too far apart.
43:07
Drew
You got to know that.
43:08
Adam
Not six inches apart. I'm a freak, but I do really think a lot of women lie about it. I think a lot of women, you get them alone, private conversation and then they'll go, well, I don't really orgasm through intercourse either.
43:21
Drew
Most women do not.
43:22
Adam
Most women don't.
43:23
Drew
Yet the Women's Magazine suggests that everyone should, if you just do the right technique.
43:26
Adam
If you do this, and then you do.
43:28
Drew
There's some good data that just came out recently that shows that, in fact, it has nothing to do with technique or very little, and it's all genetically predetermined.
43:34
Adam
Oh, thank God.
43:35
Drew
Most women do not have orgasm with intercourse.
43:37
Adam
No.
43:37
Drew
But they do have an experience all women have that bewilder men, and that is this experience of receiving, this receptivity thing, which I suspect is what allows women to have intercourse occasionally, not orgasm and still be satisfied. And for a man, that is, what? No. And that's when the guy comes on like, we got to make sure you have an orgasm. That's impossible. You're just not telling you, but you must be very frustrated and unhappy.
44:00
Adam
I think it's great to have, you have a lot of satisfaction from intercourse without an orgasm, but it's better with an orgasm. I'm just saying, in my experience, when you don't get the orgasm, but you have the nice intercourse, the guy is sleeping at the wheel.
44:11
Drew
But again, there's a spectrum.
44:14
Adam
It's pleasurable, but it wouldn't kill him to get down there.
44:16
Drew
But how could it be? How could it not frustrate? I mean, some women insist on the orgasm. They insist. But a lot of women go, no, no, no, that's fine. That's really totally satisfying without it. What?
44:26
Adam
That's when you're like, that's like first date. No, I mean, you don't necessarily have to have the orgasm. You just have a nice intercourse, fun time.
44:31
Drew
It's not you. Because you're saying that that's not okay for you. And again, because women have those two X chromosomes, there's all this diversity amongst women. Each woman is very different than the other because the thing that makes her a female is this huge bit of genetic material that men don't have.
44:46
Adam
But are you saying that some women actually claim that they prefer to just have regular intercourse without the orgasm?
44:51
Drew
But that they can genuinely say, and let's have some callers ring in on this one, they'll say, I don't really want to, I don't need an orgasm, I'm perfectly satisfied with what we just did.
45:01
Adam
I'd say it's satisfying. I don't know if I'd go perfectly.
45:05
Drew
That's you.
45:05
Adam
That's me.
45:06
Drew
Let's see if anybody can say perfectly satisfying. All right. Let's go to Becca, who's 18. Becca? What's going on there?
45:15
Caller
Hey, I'm 18. I've been sexually active since I was about 15 years old. From that time, I've had a problem. First of all, you said previously that multiple window organs join sex, so good, that's not a huge problem. But I switch partners so often that I had to sit down and make a list, because I couldn't remember all of them, and it freaked me out how long this list went.
45:36
Adam
How many was it?
45:37
Caller
Oh, God, I think 20.
45:39
Drew
Okay, there's that.
45:40
Adam
That's a lot by 18, right?
45:41
Drew
That's a lot by 18. I didn't say that people don't have orgasm with sex, they don't have it with intercourse. Women don't have it with intercourse.
45:50
Adam
But also, obviously, a lot of women don't have orgasm with sex at all.
45:53
Drew
Under 22. After that, it's a really small number.
45:56
Adam
Okay.
45:57
Drew
Now, are you not orgasm at all, Becca?
45:59
Caller
I don't orgasm during intercourse with a male, I don't.
46:02
Drew
But you will with oral sex? With a woman?
46:08
Caller
I've never been with another woman.
46:09
Drew
Because she said with a male.
46:10
Caller
I've never had oral sex performed on me. I'm a giver.
46:14
Drew
You've never had oral sex.
46:15
Adam
Oh, that's high school. Now, what about Manuel?
46:19
Caller
Pardon?
46:20
Adam
What about Manuel? His hands?
46:22
Caller
Not from someone else. If it's from me, fine. Perfect. I know exactly what to do, though.
46:25
Caller
Good to go.
46:26
Caller
And usually, the problem is I don't stay with someone long enough for them to know.
46:29
Drew
Right.
46:29
Adam
Plus, she's with 18-year-old guys, and they suck at bed.
46:32
Drew
Yes, absolutely. And she just said the other thing, which is that she will not stay with somebody long enough to develop that rapport where she can get things done.
46:40
Adam
And they can practice.
46:41
Drew
Why not?
46:42
Caller
I'm just kind of worried that I'm going to form some sort of self-abusing thing because I know it's not mentally healthy to go, because I'll stay with someone for maybe a month or less.
46:51
Drew
Why not? Tell me, then why not form a relationship?
46:56
Caller
I have, but I've had two very serious relationships, and they both ended disastrously where I was completely-
47:03
Drew
All right, Becca, hold on. We actually have to go again to break, and I know, I want to go back to Becca. We will after, so don't hang up on her, please. Becca, hang on. We're going to do this quick break, and we will pick up with you in just a second with Kathy Griffin.
47:16
All right, guys, here's the deal.
47:17
Caller
You looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
47:21
Drew
One call is all you need to make.
47:22
Caller
Call the Dateline.
47:23
Caller
877-889-DATE.
47:26
Call the Dateline.
48:09
Drew
That's right, Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. Kathy Griffin here, sitting in for Mr. Corolla, who's at a Pebble Beach car rally with all his hoity-toit friends, literally millionaires, literally, literally. And we were talking to back of who is 18, had a lot of sex, a lot of different people, but two disastrous relationships amongst those, right?
48:33
Caller
Yep.
48:34
Adam
So you've been burned by love, so you wanna just go from guy to guy maybe?
48:39
Caller
I'm hoping that's the extent of it.
48:41
Drew
Well, here's the deal. If your dad took off when you were 8 or 10 or something, it could be a little more serious than that. So what happened?
48:49
Caller
My parents got divorced when I was 12 and then we moved to a different town, and my sister also went with him.
48:54
Drew
Well, there you go. There you go. So you've got these issues of extreme feelings of tender abandonment when it comes to men. So when a guy lets you down, it re-exposes you. Listen, when you're 16 and you have a relationship, it's supposed to break up. It's a healthy thing. But for you, it's devastation because it reawakens all those horrible feelings about when dad left. That's really the problem here is that you can't be more flexible about your feelings and realize, okay, we were 16, it didn't work out. I'm going to find a guy with whom it can work out.
49:25
Caller
When I was 16, it wasn't so devastating because when I got into relationship, I realized that and I said, this is not going to be a serious thing at all. But the guy I was dating when I was 16, he or 15, he turned out to be gay. So that was kind of a shock. Then when I was 17 till I was 18, I dated someone else and it was a little more serious. That didn't hurt a lot. But it's, I don't know, my dad was abusive when I was a child.
49:47
Drew
Becca, you described those two relationships as devastating. So now don't back off from that. The fact is you have all these issues about men, abusive dad who abandon you, you find men who are not available, and then you feel abandoned. Well, there you go. This is how humans are wired. We have something called a repetition compulsion. When something bad happens to us as a kid, we repeat it over and over and over again.
50:07
Adam
Because we're trying to make it right.
50:09
Drew
I think it's even more fundamental. We're just wired up that way once it happens, and we just are required by our brain to do it over and over. And it's time to stop, all right? It's time to actually go have a relationship. And if you can't, that's when therapy kicks in. That's okay, too.
50:23
Adam
She doesn't have to jump into a relationship.
50:25
Drew
No, no, no, no. You're absolutely right.
50:26
Adam
She can hang around with groups.
50:27
Drew
But if she's hanging with multiple guys, that's going to make it.
50:30
Adam
Going guy to guy is bad.
50:31
Drew
That's bad. And doing nothing for a while is a good thing. But if you really have trouble with closeness to other people, that's a time to consider therapy. This is Roger, 16.
50:40
Caller
Hi, how's it going, Dr. Drew? Hey, Roger. Yeah, so it's common because I don't know if you've heard of a philosopher whose name is Hegel.
50:46
Drew
Yeah, I know Hegel.
50:47
Caller
You know Hegel? Okay, I don't know if you're familiar with his philosophy of mastering a slave.
50:52
Drew
No, that's Nietzsche. Nietzsche had mastered. Hegel is the spirit of history, for which the Owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the setting of dusk. The spirit knows itself through the cunning of we's wisdom.
51:05
Adam
Stop showing off because we have a teenager who wants to talk about master and slave and I'm getting nervous because I think he's got like a 14-year-old in the basement chained up.
51:12
Drew
No, Nietzsche felt that our current morality was based on a master slave mentality that came out of the early part of civilization, where everything about the people in power was bad, and everything about the people who were the underdogs was good, and that became the basis of our morality, and he calls that the master slave morality.
51:30
Caller
Well, actually, I learned something different. What it was, that I don't know. We didn't really study Nietzsche, but what I learned about Hegel is actually kind of different. What it is is that when people are young or when they're babies, they establish themselves either a master or a slave, and when they grow up, they search for their counterpart. Like if you're a slave, you search for a master, and if you're a master, you search for a slave, and I thought that fit in well with one of your theories where if like girls are abused when they're younger, they'll search for chaotic things.
51:58
Drew
It's true. I've never read Hegel's specific stuff on that, but that's very interesting.
52:02
Adam
Well, then I guess you've been served by a 15-year-old.
52:03
Drew
I'm going to go read more Hegel. Read more Hegel. Thank you. That was very interesting. Eddie Hegel was a smart guy.
52:09
Adam
I just want to make sure he doesn't have a 13-year-old in the basement chained up. Can we just clarify that, please?
52:14
Caller
No. No 13-year-old chained up.
52:15
Adam
Okay.
52:16
Drew
Good.
52:16
Adam
Thanks.
52:16
Drew
All right, Roger. Thanks a lot. It's interesting. I will read more Hegel. That's what that means. This is, let's see. Well, here is somebody who says she's fine without the orgasm. Jill, 19. Right? Hi there. What's going on, Jill?
52:31
Oh, hi. Yeah. No, I totally agree with what you were saying that it's totally, I have orgasms, but every once in a while I won't or something, and I'm totally fine without having it, and I'm someone that can have them also.
52:47
Drew
And so don't your male partners will freak out when you say, no, no, that's fine, that's it?
52:51
No, yeah, I totally understand what you mean by that too, but I think it also, like a huge part of it is like the relationship you're in, like I'm in a great, like really loving relationship, you know, so he understands that too.
53:02
Adam
Of course.
53:02
You know where you won't freak out about that or whatever, but I think that has a lot to do with the whole, like you can have one without, I mean, you can be satisfied without actually having an orgasm.
53:12
Adam
You're sure he's not just being lazy sometimes and kind of phoning it in?
53:15
Caller
No, I promise.
53:16
Like honestly, like.
53:17
Drew
No, here's what this is.
53:18
Caller
He can offer to, you know, whatever, but he also like I think understands like, okay, you know, it's fine without actually going through that. Like, I don't know.
53:28
Drew
And Jill, here's what I want you to do, is next time Kathy Griffin's on, I want you to be the first caller because she wants some normal callers to start with. And Jill's nice and normal.
53:37
Adam
I'm so glad she didn't get, you know, ass raped by her father 10 minutes ago.
53:40
Drew
No, nothing like that. I guarantee it.
53:42
Adam
She didn't just come back from the hospital. She has AIDS. I can't believe I haven't gotten that call yet. I just got ass raped 10 minutes ago. I have AIDS call.
53:48
Caller
Yeah, it's okay. This show would be boring if it was all a bunch of me calling in.
53:52
Drew
Well, it's a breath of fresh air.
53:54
Caller
Some people.
53:56
Drew
Are you going to college now?
53:58
Caller
Yeah, I go to San Diego State University.
54:00
Drew
Well, it will be trouble though. So it's okay.
54:03
Caller
I've survived for two years. I'm going on number three.
54:05
Adam
Mark Cuban or not Mark Cuban. Joe Francis from Girls Gone Wild comes to the campus. Just run the other way.
54:11
Caller
Okay.
54:12
Adam
And don't have any of those roofies. Don't let the boys give you roofies.
54:15
Drew
Just don't go to the roofie bar.
54:16
Adam
Don't go to the roofitorium.
54:17
Drew
San Diego State has a roofie bar.
54:18
Adam
Yeah.
54:21
Drew
Okay, Amanda's 23.
54:23
Caller
Hi, I'm actually also a normal caller, Kathy.
54:26
Drew
Yeah.
54:28
Caller
I heard you guys talking about the whole orgasm thing, and I'm 23. I've never had an orgasm, and I thoroughly enjoy sex.
54:36
Adam
You are ruining it for all of us. Every teenage guy is like, I'm hooked up. I don't have to do anything.
54:43
Drew
But now you're at an age, though, where you really should start having them. That would be sort of normal. It's oftentimes the case that women don't wire up until they're about in their early 20s, and then after that, it sort of starts to happen. Are you in a relationship?
54:55
Caller
I'm not right now. I've been listening to you forever, so I'm like, okay, as soon as I hit 23, I should be good to go.
54:59
Drew
You should be. It's time to put a little effort into it, too.
55:02
Adam
There should be orgasms just shooting out of your vagina in rapid fire.
55:06
Drew
Vagina?
55:06
Adam
Yes, vagina.
55:07
Drew
Kathy, how dare you? West Virginia, do you say you're from? Mm-hmm. Or Chicago? Chicago. Yeah, so it's all good, though, right, Amanda?
55:17
Caller
Well, yeah, I just wanted to say that I enjoy sex because of whatever intimacy or whatever. I mean, it's not like I don't get anything out of it just because I don't orgasm. It's still pleasurable to me, even though I don't have an orgasm.
55:27
Adam
But it wouldn't be better if you had an orgasm?
55:29
Drew
She doesn't know. She never had one.
55:31
Adam
Oh, okay.
55:31
Caller
I would assume so, but yeah.
55:34
Drew
Go ahead.
55:34
Caller
I can't do anything through clitoral stimulation that does nothing for me.
55:38
Drew
Really?
55:39
Adam
So it's all the receptacle?
55:41
Caller
Yes.
55:41
Drew
Well, you should still-
55:42
Caller
I heard you talking about the genetics of it, and I was like, well, is that like a pass down from your mother kind of thing?
55:48
Adam
I blame my mother for everything, every chance I get.
55:50
Drew
It's really not specifically, hasn't yet been proven to be specifically from the female parent. However, if you feel nothing below your waist, that tends to be a sign of what they call somatic dissociation. I mean, something bad happened to you when you were a baby. But I think what this is more, man, I suspect, is that it's just coming time where it's going to start to feel more arousing.
56:11
Caller
Right. Okay.
56:12
Drew
But you're going to have to fool around, oral sex is the answer here. And you're going to have to have a voice-
56:16
Adam
And don't let them off the hook every time. Don't be like, oh, you can go, no, it was perfect. They can punch in.
56:23
Caller
Well, no.
56:24
Adam
They can punch the clock.
56:26
Caller
I actually enjoy, I don't know what I can say, but I enjoy intercourse more. Okay.
56:32
Drew
Good times. All right. All right.
56:34
Adam
Well, she's every guy's dream.
56:35
Drew
Bye, Amanda. Thank you.
56:36
Caller
Yeah, right.
56:37
Drew
She doesn't have to worry about anything. Doesn't have to clock in, no check-in, no oral sex, maybe not. Okay. This is Lance, who's 28.
56:45
Caller
Hey, Drew, how are you?
56:47
Drew
I'm good. Lance, how are you?
56:49
Caller
I'm great. Hey, Kathy, I just want to say how much I love you.
56:53
Adam
Lance, you doll.
56:54
Drew
Are you one of her?
56:56
Caller
I'm of the homosexual persuasion, so if you're biological or something, I have to thank you.
57:01
Adam
We are magnetically drawn to one another.
57:03
Caller
Thank you. Anyways, I just got tested for HIV for the very first time. I know that's bad, but it came out negative, but my doctor said it's going to be something crazy about like it could take up to five years to like show up on a test or something.
57:19
Drew
Well, there have been reported cases of that, but the vast majority will have shown up within six months.
57:25
Caller
Okay, I couldn't imagine my boyfriend believing that, you know, I'm saying I got it five years ago.
57:31
Drew
Yeah.
57:32
Adam
Do you use condoms?
57:33
Caller
You know, I've been bad lately, but I do.
57:36
Adam
Lance, I know, you know, I have to be strict with my gaze every so often. You got to put a condom on. There's not even any difference in feeling. Come on.
57:45
Caller
This is totally my lesson. I learned.
57:47
Adam
I mean, you're at the white party. It was a hot night in Palm Springs. One thing led to another.
57:53
Caller
Thank you.
57:53
Adam
Then all of a sudden, the twinks are there with the bears and the circuit boys. I know. I know how you boys get.
57:59
Caller
Oh, I know you know.
58:01
Drew
Want to translate that for me a little bit?
58:03
Twinks?
58:04
Adam
Yeah.
58:05
Caller
So five years is just like, don't believe that or what?
58:08
Drew
Well, no, I'm not saying don't believe it. He's not saying something, he's not lying to you, but it's very rare that it takes that many years for it to turn positive.
58:16
Adam
It's like Pam Anderson saying that she got Hep C from a doorknob. It's possible, but it was probably from Tommy Lee.
58:22
Drew
Yes, and not only that, there are some DNA-specific probes for HIV. You could perhaps get something like that if you're really concerned about the possibility. This is John, who's 18. John, what's going on?
58:34
Caller
Hi, listen, I don't know why I've been feeling so guilty lately because I slept with a friend of mine that I was in love with for a really, really long time.
58:43
Drew
A guy?
58:44
Caller
Yeah, I was a guy, I'm gay. But I slept with him, I was in love with him, Jesus Christ. Like, I don't know, I like, he had a boyfriend.
58:51
Drew
Jesus Christ getting in the act again.
58:53
Adam
It's always Jesus' fault, you know me. All right, so you slept with your friend's friend, but you're in love with the friend's friend.
59:01
Caller
No, no, no. I slept with one of my best friends, and he has a boyfriend who's one of my best friends, and I feel really guilty. I don't know why I feel so guilty, because I've been in love with this guy since I was 16.
59:17
Drew
Wait, you're in love with the guy you slept with or in love with?
59:19
Adam
Yeah, his friend.
59:20
Caller
No, I was in love with the guy that I slept with.
59:23
Drew
Okay, but the friend, you feel like you violated his trust.
59:26
Caller
Exactly.
59:27
Drew
Well, you did.
59:29
Caller
Yeah.
59:29
Drew
Right? I mean, it made you feel worse, but you did. I mean, you sort of violated some cardinal rules there, right? You don't sleep with your friend's partner.
59:38
Adam
Are you going to break up the two guys or no?
59:40
Caller
Well, like originally what happened was like this happened like a week ago, too. So one guy, the guy that I had that I had sex with, he was going to move in with me because he wasn't happy where he was.
59:52
Drew
Was he with your friend?
59:54
Caller
Yeah, with my friend.
59:56
Adam
You mean move in platonic like roommates or you're a couple now?
59:59
Caller
Move in? Like, I have no clue what he was thinking. Like I...
1:00:03
Drew
I'd say what John's thinking. John's thinking penis.
1:00:06
Caller
Okay. When we slept together, then afterwards he opened up to me and was just like, he just completely tore his soul out to me. I did not expect it. I was just not ready for what he was about to say. I don't even know where the relationship stands today. I haven't talked to him because I'm too afraid to.
1:00:26
Drew
All right.
1:00:28
Adam
So you bit off a little more penis and you could chew.
1:00:31
Drew
Literally. Here's the deal, John. This is a mess, right? It's a mess. You are going to have to do some part of this, one of these relationships is not going to survive, or both of them, perhaps. The healthiest thing probably would be for you to get away from both these guys because they have to work out their relationship. Once they do that, if one you really like is available, let a few months go by and then go ahead and step in. That probably the best thing to do. Otherwise, you're going to be taking your best friend's lover. You're going to be doing that and you're going to lose your good friend.
1:01:07
Adam
Yeah.
1:01:07
Drew
God knows this guy sounds a little chaotic. He's goofing around, he's cheating, it just sounds like kind of a-
1:01:12
Adam
Wants to move in a little too soon.
1:01:14
Drew
Not necessarily a guy.
1:01:15
Adam
What are you, lesbians? The lesbians move in after one day, not the gay men?
1:01:19
Drew
I'm not sure it's a guy you want to be in that kind of relationship with. Crystal is 18.
1:01:23
Caller
Hello.
1:01:24
Drew
Hi there.
1:01:24
Caller
Hi.
1:01:27
Caller
First of all, I love both of you.
1:01:30
Adam
Oh, Crystal.
1:01:33
Drew
Kathy and I should take it on the road.
1:01:34
Adam
I know. If your last name was Meth, that would be a great drag queen name. But you're a woman and I'm sorry. Only if you were a male drag queen, not since you're a lovely woman.
1:01:44
Caller
Thank you. I've been dating this guy for just two months. I met him like it was like a drunken night, the whole whatever, teenage thing. Good times. I met him. I totally like him. He was totally fun and nice and everything at first. Now, just as the weeks are going by, he's getting really distant. I know we've only been dating for two months, so it's not like we should be getting married and everything.
1:02:19
Drew
Did you freak him out? Did you get in too far, too fast?
1:02:21
Caller
I don't know.
1:02:23
Adam
Have you read Greg Barrett's book, He's Just Not That Into You?
1:02:26
Caller
No.
1:02:26
Adam
Oh, you got to watch Oprah.
1:02:28
Drew
Oh, great.
1:02:28
Adam
So Greg Barrett wrote a book.
1:02:29
Caller
Do you like Oprah?
1:02:31
Adam
I have a love-hate for Oprah.
1:02:32
Drew
We're going to talk about that.
1:02:33
Adam
She goes down pretty hard in my latest special. But, Crystal, I think you should get this book because women are finding it life-changing. It's by Greg Barrett, and it's called He's Just Not That Into You.
1:02:43
Drew
What it is?
1:02:43
Adam
Because it's a lot. You know the book, right?
1:02:45
Drew
Yeah, he's just telling you how men think. Yeah, and it's for the first time.
1:02:49
Adam
Because a lot of us women, we don't really want to face the signals, and it sounds like the signals is that this guy is just not that into you.
1:02:57
Caller
He was a guest on this show, Drew.
1:02:59
Adam
Yeah, and also-
1:02:59
Drew
No, no, no, that was the other guy. That was- That was Barrett, yeah.
1:03:02
Caller
That was Greg Barrett.
1:03:03
Adam
Barrett. And the cool thing is it probably has nothing to do with you. So you can take comfort in the fact that if he's pulling you away, it's probably he has some other agenda or maybe he's-
1:03:12
Caller
Yeah, I don't want to cut you off, but that's the thing with him. It's like he's had one girlfriend and he was with her for four years. When I ask about their relationship at all, he still refers to it like that he was dating her for four years.
1:03:29
Drew
When did that end?
1:03:31
Caller
Like two years ago.
1:03:33
Drew
How old is he?
1:03:34
Caller
He's 22. He'll be 22 next week.
1:03:38
Drew
Loser.
1:03:39
No.
1:03:40
Caller
Loser. What I'm thinking is like, okay, if I'm dating somebody for four years, aren't we together? Are we boyfriend and girlfriend? We're together. We're not just dating. Dating is like what me and him are doing right now.
1:03:53
Drew
Right. That's what I'm saying. Loser.
1:03:56
Caller
Then he said that he had a problem telling her that he loved her. When she first said it to him.
1:04:02
Drew
Perfect.
1:04:02
Adam
Because they were still dating.
1:04:05
Drew
This guy is not-
1:04:06
Adam
He's too immature.
1:04:07
Drew
Whatever it is, he has a problem with closeness. He's not good in relationships.
1:04:11
Caller
But then like we've had sex and maybe we shouldn't have-
1:04:15
Drew
By the way, that is irrelevant from a guy's perspective. Okay. That means nothing to the relationship.
1:04:22
Adam
Was the sex great?
1:04:24
Caller
No, because he-
1:04:25
Adam
Ouch.
1:04:26
Caller
He just wouldn't last. It was like in and out and well, hey, thanks, see you later.
1:04:33
Adam
This guy is bringing nothing to the table.
1:04:35
Drew
Loser.
1:04:36
Adam
You're wonderful and I want to set you up with, I don't know who, I only know gay guys, but I know that there's a wonderful man out there that will actually let you have an orgasm and then you'll like it.
1:04:46
Drew
And would say that you're his girlfriend.
1:04:48
Adam
Right. He'll use the word girlfriend.
1:04:49
Drew
The L word.
1:04:50
Adam
And you don't have to be drunk.
1:04:51
Caller
But then there's times that he's totally sweet and we have so much fun together.
1:04:56
Adam
Guys like that, that's their bread and butter. Well, that is their whole bread and butter is that they know that when they turn it on every so often, you're living on crumbs.
1:05:04
Drew
Here's what you do. You date other guys.
1:05:07
Adam
Really?
1:05:07
Drew
It's fine to date a guy like this, but to assume that it's going to be the one, or a relationship.
1:05:12
Caller
But I'm not, you know.
1:05:14
Drew
I don't mean the one you're going to marry. I mean the one you're going to be committed to.
1:05:15
Adam
But it's sort of something she wants to fix him too. He's a fixer-upper and who has the time. Let somebody else fix him.
1:05:20
Caller
See, that's what I'm thinking. I'm talking to my sisters and they're like my best friends and they're like, don't think that it's you. Don't think it's a problem that you have. It's him, you know.
1:05:28
Adam
Yes, they're right.
1:05:28
Caller
It's the stage that he's at in his life, but I'm like, well, I totally want to hold on to it and see if he gets through it, you know.
1:05:36
Drew
I would suggest- Yeah, it's a little more serious than you think.
1:05:39
Caller
I think so.
1:05:40
Drew
Yeah.
1:05:41
Adam
He may never come out of it. He might be like this when he's 30.
1:05:43
Drew
He might have permanent attachment issues. This is different than the guy. If he had said, you know, I had a girl for four years, it was great, we were in love, but at this point in my life, I'm just kind of dating around and you're great, but I'm just not up for commitment right now. That's different than-
1:05:59
Adam
If he had said that during the 42nd minute of intercourse.
1:06:02
Drew
That's the other thing, the no effort there in the important-
1:06:06
Adam
He's got to think of baseball players or whatever, because that's ridiculous.
1:06:08
Drew
Well, there's a medicine coming out, by the way. Medicine is going to double guy's time.
1:06:11
Caller
The whole sex thing, he tells me that it's not important, he doesn't have to have sex, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, it's not important, you don't have to, but it's something that I like to do.
1:06:24
Drew
All the signals are confused.
1:06:25
Adam
It sounds like he's kind of being controlling and he's running the show too.
1:06:29
Drew
It does not compute. It also means that he's not that into you.
1:06:33
Caller
But then, and then I'm starting to think.
1:06:35
Drew
Hey Crystal, who are you trying to convince? It's done, it's over. Forget it, you can't convince us anything.
1:06:39
Adam
So many more fish in the sea.
1:06:40
Drew
Yes, yes.
1:06:41
Adam
What city is she from?
1:06:42
Drew
She's from San Jose.
1:06:44
Adam
Oh, there's a lot of cute guys there.
1:06:46
Drew
Just go Santa Cruz around the corner.
1:06:47
Adam
Right.
1:06:48
Drew
Skylar, 16.
1:06:50
Caller
Oh, I can only have sex with a chick watching.
1:06:56
Adam
You know what, can we at least say hello? I mean, can we say hello? How's your, I mean.
1:07:01
Drew
Perfectly normal, perfectly natural.
1:07:03
Kathy Griffin
What?
1:07:04
Drew
Of course not.
1:07:05
Caller
I'm embarrassed right now.
1:07:06
Drew
Okay.
1:07:07
Adam
I'm sorry, but also I'm laughing at someone, a woman calling another woman a chick.
1:07:12
Caller
Well, I'm not calling a woman a chick.
1:07:15
Drew
Kathy, she's from Riverside. What do you got to do?
1:07:19
Adam
No. How old is she?
1:07:20
Drew
Sixteen. Wow.
1:07:24
Adam
Go ahead, Drew. Let's see what you got.
1:07:25
Drew
Yeah.
1:07:26
Adam
Start from the beginning. That's heavy, Skylar.
1:07:27
Drew
I'm just looking at the clock here. I'm thinking how much time do I have? That's heavy, right, Skylar?
1:07:33
Caller
To me, I do have a normal life.
1:07:35
Drew
No. Maybe you do now.
1:07:37
Adam
Wait. Is it sex with a guy and a woman watches?
1:07:40
Caller
Excuse me?
1:07:42
Adam
Is it that you're having sex with a man and a woman watches?
1:07:45
Caller
She can watch and yes with a man or she can be part of either one.
1:07:50
Drew
How old were you when you lost your virginity?
1:07:53
Caller
Like 14.
1:07:55
Drew
Like 14 or 14?
1:07:57
Adam
Four or nine.
1:08:02
Caller
I think I was raped around 14.
1:08:04
Drew
Rape around 14.
1:08:05
Adam
Oh, Skylar.
1:08:07
Drew
It's beginning to come into focus. So a rape at 14.
1:08:12
Caller
I'm so used to rape.
1:08:15
Drew
Hang on. Stop, stop.
1:08:16
Adam
Whoa, whoa.
1:08:17
Drew
A rape at 14 usually means sexual abuse prior. So whose sexual abuse you're growing up.
1:08:21
Adam
I'm sorry. Did I misunderstand? Did she say I'm so used to rape?
1:08:25
Drew
She's going to mean sexual abuse is what she's going to be talking about. Right? Yeah.
1:08:29
Caller
Like my dad had touched me when I was like 3, 2, 5.
1:08:36
Drew
Yeah. Okay. So here we go. So this whole, I have a normal life, Skylar. You can just throw that out the window. You've had a very pathological life as you're growing up and it affects.
1:08:49
Caller
I'm like totally used to being hit with a bell or.
1:08:54
Adam
I can't take it.
1:08:55
Drew
All that used to the business of being used to and having dealt with it.
1:08:59
Adam
I want to go to Skylar's house and kill everyone there but Skylar.
1:09:01
Drew
The way that you get used to it is by changing your brain and the brain changes in order to tolerate these things in ways that are not healthy. The symptom of that right now is some of this bizarre sexual stuff you're getting into at a very, very young age. Let's put that aside and really work on Skylar and her emotional health.
1:09:23
Adam
Where's dad now?
1:09:23
Drew
Have you?
1:09:25
Caller
He's in Hawaii doing what he pleases. My stepdad is with me.
1:09:31
Caller
Well, he's not going to be my stepdad.
1:09:32
Caller
He doesn't want me to be his daughter.
1:09:34
Drew
No, boy. Have you been in psychiatric hospitals or anything?
1:09:38
Caller
Been counseling. I've gone to Moon Range Academy at the clinic for alcoholism.
1:09:44
Drew
Right. So you're an addict also?
1:09:48
Caller
Oh, no. I'm totally against drugs.
1:09:51
Drew
You're just a cutter?
1:09:52
Caller
Yeah.
1:09:53
Adam
Did you ever watch Intervention on A&E?
1:09:55
Caller
No.
1:09:56
Adam
Oh, you should watch it. It's such a good show. They had a cutter on there, and you'd probably relate to it. It was a really good episode.
1:10:01
Drew
Do you have a borderline personality disorder?
1:10:03
Caller
Not that I know of.
1:10:04
Drew
They've never used that term?
1:10:06
Caller
Not that I know of.
1:10:07
Adam
I have one listening to this story.
1:10:09
Drew
You're getting one, developing one?
1:10:10
Adam
Yes.
1:10:11
Drew
All right. So Skylar, here's the deal. Are you involved? So you've had all this therapeutic stuff, right? You've gone to the therapeutic schools. Why don't you start digging into that a little bit? Why don't you start listening to the people that are there to help you? Getting involved in that, realizing that every great idea you have is going to come out of a brain, of an environment in your brain that is altered by all those horrible experiences you had, and every choice, every judgment, every idea you have is going to be a bad one. Because it's going to be ways of trying to adapt to these horrible, horrible things that happen. Throw yourself into a program where there are people there who can sort of guide you, take direction. It's going to be the hardest thing in the world for you. Take direction, trust somebody else. When you've been physically...
1:10:55
Adam
Not your dad.
1:10:56
Drew
Yeah, when you're physically sexually abused like that, the one thing...
1:10:58
Adam
And not the chick watching.
1:10:59
Drew
G... .that suffers the most is trust, particularly from people in authority. And what I'm asking, Skylar, to help yourself is to take direction and be willing and to trust people who are there to try to help you. That's all they're there for is to help you, not to amuse themselves, not to make money. They wouldn't do this work if they didn't like it. Yes, they have to make a living, so you won't trust that because they make money off it.
1:11:21
Adam
And how old is she?
1:11:22
Drew
She's 16.
1:11:24
Adam
What if just no sex for three months? Is that a start?
1:11:27
Drew
Absolutely.
1:11:28
Adam
Just none at all, just not even any.
1:11:30
Drew
Every idea you have.
1:11:31
Adam
You will live without sex for three months.
1:11:32
Drew
Here's what you need to think to yourself. Every idea I have is a bad one.
1:11:36
Adam
And who's the guy that's banging her? And then the chicks watch him.
1:11:39
Drew
You can kill him with all the other stuff.
1:11:41
Adam
I'm going to go to Hawaii and kill the dad. Then I'm going to tour, and I'm going to kill everyone who's ever known Skylar.
1:11:46
Drew
Good.
1:11:47
Adam
And then I'm just going to, I don't know, put her in, I don't know. I would say convent, but you know, I don't like Jesus. So I can't go convent.
1:11:53
Drew
We'll go maybe go the Kabbala route. We'll put her on Kabbala.
1:11:56
Adam
You know what? Fine. Put a red string on her wrists. Nobody ever dies from Kabbala. Fine.
1:12:01
Drew
All right. It's time for the break. Time is zooming along. Are we not having fun today?
1:12:04
Adam
Slow down, Skylar.
1:12:06
Drew
Got so much to talk about. Slow down, Skylar.
1:12:09
Adam
Oh, Skylar.
1:12:11
Drew
It's 1-800-3-5. We've got a bunch of open spaces here for calls.
1:12:15
Adam
I want to hear about LASIK people. I have a whole LASIK story. Story.
1:12:19
Drew
Good. 1-800-
1:12:19
Adam
Anyone complications from LASIK?
1:12:21
Drew
Bad story?
1:12:22
Adam
Yes. I want to hear all of your LASIK stories.
1:12:24
Drew
1-800-LOVE-191.
1:12:29
Loveline, we'll be right back.
1:12:31
Caller
Call on the 1-800-LOVE-191.
1:12:34
Caller
Loveline is brought to you by Playboy. If you're a baseball fan, you'll love Jessica Kinseko's wild interview in September's Playboy. Either way, it's on sale now.
1:12:53
Caller
On this week's Fair Enough, the big tobacco posse has some great ideas for improving sales to the black community. Toe rings.
1:13:01
What about toe rings?
1:13:03
Caller
It's based off a 1989 team brainstorm.
1:13:06
Caller
They use words like fresh.
1:13:27
Drew
Loveline, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Kathy Griffin, Kathy, do we express to you clearly enough how much we love you here? Producer Anne, do we not love Kathy Griffin?
1:13:36
Adam
Anne, we're just reading a magazine.
1:13:37
Drew
Yeah, but what I want you to know is, I've never, never during a show, do I get to lay eyes on Anne. That means she's enjoying the show, she's sitting here, she's close to you.
1:13:47
Adam
I love Anne.
1:13:48
Drew
And she loves you, and we thank you for coming in tonight.
1:13:50
Adam
Anne got me Food Fighters tickets once, and I'm her best friend.
1:13:52
Drew
How much fun we have when Adam's not here, it's like we're free, we're free at last. Right, right.
1:13:56
Adam
Less hair, it's great.
1:13:58
Drew
Let's ask her.
1:13:59
Adam
There's actually skin in between eyebrows.
1:14:01
Drew
Less ass hair, I'll be specific.
1:14:03
You can't articulate yourself any better than that.
1:14:07
Drew
Nope, that's me. Here's Tim, who's 24.
1:14:10
Caller
Hey, what's going on guys?
1:14:12
Adam
Hey.
1:14:12
Drew
We're having a good time.
1:14:13
Caller
I just want to say first off, Kathy, we love you here.
1:14:16
Adam
Thank you.
1:14:17
Caller
Appreciate it.
1:14:18
Drew
Are you in Chicago?
1:14:19
Caller
We really are.
1:14:19
Adam
I'm from Chicago.
1:14:21
Caller
I'm just south of Chicago. I tell everybody I'm just south of Chicago, because nobody knows where I'm at.
1:14:26
Drew
Where are you, Champaign or Evanston? Where are you?
1:14:29
Caller
Just south, Peoria.
1:14:31
Drew
Peoria, LA.
1:14:31
Adam
That's pretty far. I was going to tell you to come see me in Skokie, but that's quite a drive. Yeah, we got to go. I'm going to do a night, September, I think 17th, I'm doing two shows at the Skokie Center East. It's a beautiful community theater. Yes.
1:14:44
Caller
That's a little, just about two hours north of us.
1:14:47
Adam
Well, if you feel like the drive, I promise to make you laugh.
1:14:49
Drew
You know what?
1:14:50
Caller
Well, we might have to be there.
1:14:52
Drew
No one is nicer than people in the Midwest.
1:14:54
Adam
Yes. We're corn fed, we have the Midwestern common sense, we're no BS.
1:14:59
Drew
Super nice.
1:14:59
Adam
Yeah. Indeed.
1:15:01
Drew
So what's going on, Tim?
1:15:03
Adam
Is there a light bulb up your butt? Because now it's going to be like there's a light bulb up my butt and it's sore, what do I do?
1:15:09
Drew
But you asked nicely.
1:15:10
Adam
Yeah.
1:15:10
Caller
Not exactly my question, but I'm hearing from a lot of guys, myself included, who feel pretty average, that there's a lot of products out there, devices, etc. that can make us either feel larger or get larger, or you know what I mean? Just-
1:15:29
Adam
Yeah. What are all those spam emails that I get about?
1:15:31
Drew
BS for the most part.
1:15:32
Adam
Okay.
1:15:33
Drew
But do you have a size problem?
1:15:38
Caller
I'll be honest with you. I haven't seen or been able to compare myself to a lot of guys.
1:15:42
Drew
Well, what are your dimensions? I'll do the comparing right now.
1:15:45
Caller
Dimensions? At least seven and a half, eight inches.
1:15:50
Adam
No, that's big, right?
1:15:52
Caller
Really?
1:15:52
Drew
That's way above normal.
1:15:53
Adam
That's really big.
1:15:54
Drew
Yeah. It's way above normal.
1:15:54
Caller
Really?
1:15:55
Drew
Yeah.
1:15:56
Caller
You're kidding.
1:15:57
Drew
85 percent of men are in the five and a half to six and a half. I think it's five to six right there.
1:16:01
Adam
Really? Because guys exaggerate. You know guys.
1:16:04
Caller
Is there any truth to the products or the creams, et cetera, that are out there?
1:16:08
Drew
Basically, the only thing that works is the surgeries, and you do not do the surgery.
1:16:12
Adam
What do they do surgery?
1:16:13
Drew
Surgery, they cut just above the pubic bone here, and they go in and they basically, I actually did this surgery, I assisted in it. You tear off the tendon from the bone, so the penis sort of hangs out about another inch.
1:16:26
Adam
Okay.
1:16:27
Drew
And then they un-glove the penis, they take all the skin off.
1:16:30
Adam
Oh.
1:16:31
Drew
And they sew in what looks like a pop tart. It's basically cadaver tissue and sort of a flat plane.
1:16:37
Adam
Why is it flat? Shouldn't it be like a...
1:16:40
Drew
It's a tube, but it sews around. And then they pull the skin back up.
1:16:44
Adam
He just wants some cream, okay? He doesn't want the glove taken off.
1:16:47
Drew
As I said, Tim, the answer is no.
1:16:49
Adam
Okay.
1:16:49
Drew
And then they pull the skin back up and then they sew things back in.
1:16:52
Adam
So at the end of the day, you get what? An inch?
1:16:54
Drew
You get about an inch of girth and an inch of length. And that's about the best you can do.
1:16:57
Adam
Well, it's worth it, fellas.
1:16:59
Drew
There you go. And I will tell you, here's the deal, Tim.
1:17:03
Caller
I mean, I've heard about transplants and stuff like that, but I mean, I'm not looking for that, obviously. But, you know...
1:17:09
Adam
Not if you're seven and a half inches, you tiger.
1:17:11
Drew
Tim, you have an extra-large penis. And you're worrying about the size. That means you have extra-low self-esteem. That men that preoccupy about their penis size that are normal or large are not having a penis size problem, they're having a self-esteem problem. Oh, boy. And so what you need to do... There's no claim for that... .get a GD job that makes you feel good about yourself or a hobby or something you can feel worthwhile as a result of. And on from there. It's Chris.
1:17:36
Caller
Hi.
1:17:36
Drew
18.
1:17:38
Caller
Hi. How you doing?
1:17:39
Adam
Hi, Chris.
1:17:40
Drew
We're doing fine.
1:17:41
Caller
Hi. I have a problem right now because I have a partner on gay or bi, I guess. We just both found out that we're both positive with AIDS.
1:17:52
Drew
Wow.
1:17:52
Caller
But I'm dating a girl on the side.
1:17:56
Caller
Whoa.
1:17:57
Adam
Are you a man of color, I assume?
1:18:00
Caller
I'm white.
1:18:01
Adam
You are?
1:18:01
Drew
Why'd you get the color? You sound like it.
1:18:03
Adam
Because I thought you was like a Wiggett talk. You sound a little bit like Eminem, like, you know.
1:18:08
Drew
But you're white, okay.
1:18:09
Adam
Are you a rapper?
1:18:11
Caller
No.
1:18:12
Adam
Okay.
1:18:13
Drew
What is your question?
1:18:15
Caller
Well, we want to getting married, and but I'm just confused on what we should do because I am dating a girl on the side, and she knows that I'm positive, but so.
1:18:30
Drew.
1:18:31
Drew
I'm just wondering if this is that guy that does the girl voice. What do you mean? Anderson, help me out on this.
1:18:37
Caller
No, that's not him.
1:18:38
Caller
He doesn't sound fake, but that's not. No, that's not him.
1:18:41
Drew
All right. I just got a little whiff of bogosity here. Okay. Because it's such a serious issue you're bringing up here, we're going to have to take this as though it were real.
1:18:52
Adam
Because even if he's bogus, maybe there's someone else out there.
1:18:54
Drew
Well, regardless, he's taking a serious stuff issue that we can't not address.
1:18:59
Adam
All right.
1:19:00
Drew
So A, you have to tell the girl what's been happening here and what you've got. You have an obligation to tell her that. You were in a committed relationship.
1:19:08
Adam
He said she knows he's positive.
1:19:09
Drew
I didn't hear him say that. He said that he and his partner, the guy, are both positive and know it.
1:19:13
Adam
Oh, I thought she knew.
1:19:14
Drew
Well, she needs to know.
1:19:16
Adam
How about he breaks up with the girl, period? Let's just let her off the hook, shall we?
1:19:19
Drew
Well, he's in a committed relationship with another guy. He needs to honor that commitment and break up with the girl. Because your bi, as he mentioned himself, doesn't give you the right to date.
1:19:30
Adam
He's only bi because he's young. Give him five years and he'll just be gay.
1:19:34
Drew
Either way, you're in a relationship with one person at a time. I don't care what your sexual orientation is. Anything other than that is extremely unhealthy and chaotic.
1:19:42
Adam
Don't give the girl HIV. Give her a break.
1:19:45
Drew
Then finally, you want to get married, but your chaos in the relationship, it sounds like a total mess.
1:19:50
Adam
How about Nova Scotia, same-sex union?
1:19:51
Drew
How about just relax, have your committed relationship with your boyfriend, and don't worry about marriage and lifelong commitments and all that stuff. Because the kind of chaos you're describing, things could change rapidly. All right, Miranda is 18. What's up?
1:20:07
Caller
For the past couple of years, my sister's been telling me that she thinks I have a borderline personality disorder, but I'm not sure if she's yanking my chain or-
1:20:19
Drew
Well, borderline is a term that's overused generally. It's traditionally, for the most part, women get this condition and the hallmark is chaos. A lot of chaos in your relationships, a lot of chaos emotionally, a lot of bipolar quality to your mood, and often a history of trauma in the past. So post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline, and bipolar disorder tends to be related to one another.
1:20:43
Adam
Manifest a self-hub.
1:20:45
Drew
The chaos.
1:20:45
Adam
Violence, drug abuse.
1:20:47
Drew
Cutting, drug abuse, a lot of chaos, a lot of erratic behaviors.
1:20:50
Adam
Because all teenagers have chaos.
1:20:51
Drew
Yeah.
1:20:52
Adam
What's the extraordinary?
1:20:54
Drew
You're not supposed to make a diagnosis of borderline until after teenage years because it is, in fact, so characteristic of teenage years.
1:20:59
Caller
But in my family, personality disorders run. My mom has a personality disorder, my sister is bipolar.
1:21:08
Drew
Maybe you're just bipolar. But anyway, the family issue is a little less clear than, say, with bipolar where there is definitely a genetic component to it. Maybe something going on around your sister. Let's put it this way. The most important thing to understand here is that your sister is not a clinical professional. Yeah. She's not the one who should be making a diagnosis.
1:21:27
Adam
Now, can't she go get a diagnosis somewhere?
1:21:28
Drew
Yes. Even if your sister is a trained professional, she shouldn't be diagnosing her own family members. So yeah, go see us to catch somebody that is trained in rendering diagnoses and see what you got. Christina, who's 19.
1:21:39
Caller
Hi.
1:21:40
Kathy Griffin
My question is, I am married and I'm 19 and I just had a four and a half year old baby, and I'm pregnant again. Now, me and my husband are constantly fighting. We're already having financial problems. We're living in someone's garage right now.
1:21:55
Adam
You're not as bad off as Skylar.
1:21:57
Caller
Exactly what to do.
1:21:58
Drew
That's true. She's not. Wow.
1:22:01
Adam
So wait, you had a kid when you were 15? No, no, no.
1:22:03
Kathy Griffin
I'm 19 now. I just had her four and a half months ago.
1:22:05
Adam
Oh, four and a half months ago.
1:22:06
Drew
You said four and a half years.
1:22:08
Kathy Griffin
No.
1:22:08
Adam
We're acting like an 18-year-old having a kid is totally fine. Oh, long as you were 18. Now, did you have to drop out of high school?
1:22:15
Kathy Griffin
No, I dropped out in 11th grade because I was addicted to drugs.
1:22:19
Caller
Oh.
1:22:20
Adam
Drew?
1:22:21
Drew
How quaint.
1:22:21
Adam
I've spent the whole show going, Drew?
1:22:23
Drew
How's your recovery going?
1:22:24
Adam
Good.
1:22:25
Kathy Griffin
I've been clean for almost a year and a half now.
1:22:28
Drew
Are you in a program?
1:22:30
Kathy Griffin
No. I've just been doing it on my own, trying to stay away from it.
1:22:32
Adam
No. Go to the meetings. It's all about the meetings.
1:22:35
Drew
You need to get some. That's a free way.
1:22:37
Adam
It's free.
1:22:38
Drew
To get some support with what you're dealing with right now.
1:22:40
Adam
Read the big book.
1:22:41
Kathy Griffin
Well, the main thing is me and my husband are always fighting.
1:22:45
Drew
I understand.
1:22:46
Kathy Griffin
We're living in someone's garage. We have another baby coming and I'm not sure what to do.
1:22:50
Drew
Is he using?
1:22:52
Kathy Griffin
No.
1:22:53
Drew
Well, like I'm saying, you need some support. You need some structure. You need some people to sit down and talk with, and a nice free way to do that. You're a recovering addict and you've been doing very little with your recovery, is to go to NA or CA or AA, whatever you want. Go to 12-Step and get a sponsor and get the support and sort these things out. No one is going to tell you what to do, Christina, you got to figure these things out.
1:23:15
Kathy Griffin
Right.
1:23:15
Adam
Don't have any more kids.
1:23:17
Kathy Griffin
Yeah, I know. I know.
1:23:20
Adam
Why did you get pregnant this time?
1:23:22
Kathy Griffin
Because I forgot to take one of my birth control pills for three days.
1:23:27
Caller
Perfect.
1:23:28
Kathy Griffin
Because I'm bipolar too and I don't have my meds.
1:23:31
Adam
Well, bipolar people can use a condom too. Just put it in the drawer, have it there.
1:23:36
Drew
Just didn't go to a 12-Step program, unless you can get in with a psychiatrist. But it sounds like you can't afford that either, and it's going to take forever through the Department of Mental Health.
1:23:45
Adam
It's all about 12-Step.
1:23:46
Drew
Go to 12-Step, take some direction.
1:23:48
Adam
Outreach calls, meetings.
1:23:50
Drew
She wants us to, we can't come over there and actually rescue from that garage. By the way, if we were to rescue you-
1:23:56
Adam
She hates that garage.
1:23:57
Drew
If we were to rescue her, we would just keep you dependent on needing rescue from people. That's what Christina-
1:24:02
Adam
What if Christina rescues Christina?
1:24:04
Drew
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
1:24:05
Adam
Eventually, it's going to dump the whole thing for sure.
1:24:07
Drew
That's very Oprah-esque statement. Do you like Oprah?
1:24:11
Adam
I have a love-hate with Oprah.
1:24:12
Drew
What's the hate part?
1:24:13
Adam
I think that she is-
1:24:15
Drew
I've never heard her talk, I've never heard her start a sentence in the last 18 months without beginning with the word I or me.
1:24:21
Adam
Yes. I think that she does a lot of good shows, and I also think that the problem is that she thinks she's Jesus, and she has a true Messiah complex. I think she's not one of us anymore. I think what made her relatable is that she was my neighbor, she was my buddy, she was my sister, she was my best friend, and now it's like I can't get my $12,000 Birkin bag at the Hermes store, and I'm going to do a whole show about it. Instead of doing a show about team pregnancy. She's going to do a whole show about it. No. Yes. She is going to make them pay and pay dearly. I think it's great. She goes to AIDS-riddled Africa and hands out dresses, but then when she had President Clinton on, all she did ask him about was Monica Lewinsky, and she didn't ask him one single question about all the AIDS work that he's done. I think she's getting a little more Springer. I think the show is leaning more towards Springer territory. Yeah. I think she does some good things and also is ridiculous.
1:25:19
Drew
I heard people complaining.
1:25:20
Adam
Also has zero sense of humor, and you can never tease her about herself at all. She can make the joke, but no one else can.
1:25:25
Drew
Well, that's what I hear people complaining about is the self stuff.
1:25:29
Adam
The grandiosity. Yes. Dr. Phil is the worst of the bunch, so he's worse than she is. But you know.
1:25:34
Drew
What is with him?
1:25:35
Adam
He's so ridiculous. He gets her off the whole, you know, the meat lawsuit, and now he's got a show. It's ridiculous. He's got the wife on and the son.
1:25:42
Drew
But you guys all watch it.
1:25:44
Adam
I watch it every once in a while.
1:25:45
Drew
And people like it.
1:25:46
Adam
Well, look, if he's going to do a show with Clay Aiken about bullying, I'm going to watch because that's fun.
1:25:50
Drew
Is that what he did?
1:25:51
Adam
Yes. Clay Aiken was there talking about bullying, and then they were counseling other kids who were bullied. That was fun. But yeah, it's ridiculous. Also, I think Dr. Phil hates women. Yeah, he often takes the guy's side. Like, there'll be a guy who's like beating the crap out of the wife, and the wife goes on, she's got a black eye. And then the husband will do the old switcheroo, where he's with the wife for a minute, and he's like, but it does sound like you do irritate him.
1:26:13
Drew
Oh, my.
1:26:15
Adam
It's like, oh, really, Dr. Phil? So I guess I could just beat the crap out of my wife.
1:26:18
Drew
I've got the exact opposite. I take women's side almost always.
1:26:22
Adam
Somebody better, because women aren't taking women's side.
1:26:25
Drew
As we've established earlier, you guys kicked the ass out of each other.
1:26:28
Adam
Yes, and I think that Oprah is one of the worst offenders of that.
1:26:32
Drew
Really?
1:26:33
Adam
I think she had Robin Givens on, right? Who's with Tyson, who's an animal. Bites people's ears off, clearly beat the crap out of Robin Givens. Robin Givens goes on, she's finally gotten her life back. It took her a long time to get over, although everybody hated her, everybody booed her, then he beat her up, and the whole thing. So it seems like she finally is happy now. She goes on Oprah to tell her story, help other women. And the whole time Oprah is just like, I knew you should have gotten out of it. I was there that night, we had dinner, and I thought, how could she stay there? I mean, don't you think by staying there you kind of brought it on yourself? And I'm thinking, oh, thanks. There's Robin Givens crying, and Oprah's like, it's basically your fault that Mike Tyson beat the crap out of you. And you know Mike Tyson just beats up everybody he meets.
1:27:10
Drew
But why do people like somebody doing that, turning the tables on somebody who doesn't accomplish nothing?
1:27:15
Adam
It's the part of Oprah that I hate. It's so mean-spirited.
1:27:17
Drew
It accomplishes nothing.
1:27:19
Adam
Right. And she had a woman one time who posed for some porn magazine, I think called Over 50. And the woman was crying and saying that she never would have done it. But as she got older, she felt like she wasn't attractive anymore. And then this photographer came along and he took nude photos of her. And Oprah just ate her for lunch. And the woman was sobbing. And I thought, yeah, she shouldn't, because she was a teacher or a counselor, something in the school. And first of all, it was high school. So it's not like ruining the kids. But I thought this woman clearly was saying...
1:27:44
Drew
But here's the deal. That woman has got some issues. And those issues should be exposed and explored. Beating her up.
1:27:50
Adam
Beating her up doesn't help anybody.
1:27:52
Drew
But it makes Oprah feel better. Her shame does nothing.
1:27:55
Adam
Makes Oprah feel better.
1:27:55
Drew
But why do we like watching that?
1:27:57
Adam
I don't know. I was incensed when I was watching it.
1:27:59
Drew
And you kept watching.
1:28:00
Adam
Yeah. But I did love that Tom Cruise episode where he was jumping on the couch. That was fun.
1:28:05
Drew
Because it gave you lots of material?
1:28:07
Adam
It gave me a lot of material. And it was fun to see him melt down because he's been such like a sort of a phantom character and nobody knows what he's really like. And there you go. It was fun.
1:28:16
Drew
Happy now?
1:28:16
Adam
Yeah, I was happy.
1:28:18
Drew
All right. We're going to take another break.
1:28:19
Adam
And then I want to talk about Lasek.
1:28:21
Drew
All right, Lasek. So far, Patricia known Lasek calls. We want to hear about Lasek's nightmares. Yeah. Okay. The phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. Kathy Griffin, Dr. Drew, right back.
1:28:33
Caller
You have five seconds.
1:28:34
Caller
Love Line with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:28:38
Drew
Back in a minute. Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191, No Corolla with Griffin, D-List, Bravo Show, Wednesdays 10 PM. Also, Get Her Special, which is airing when? Kathy Griffin is not Nicole Kidman.
1:29:20
Adam
That's currently, it's like in rotation at Bravo.
1:29:22
Drew
Because I've seen a lot of ads for it.
1:29:23
Adam
Yes.
1:29:24
Drew
And actually, I get confused, because it usually you see the D-List ad, and then you see the other ones.
1:29:29
Adam
So the D-List is the series, and the Kathy Griffin is not Nicole Kidman, is the stand-up special. And also my DVD called Allegedly has had a huge spike on Amazon.
1:29:38
Drew
Nice.
1:29:39
Adam
And so it's selling like crazy. So go on Amazon and get my DVD. It's scandalous.
1:29:42
Drew
Allegedly.
1:29:43
Adam
Yeah.
1:29:44
Drew
And you're not wearing glasses during your Nicole Kidman.
1:29:46
Adam
No, I'm back to glasses. I had a Lasik disaster. I have had five surgeries on my right eye. And so I want to warn people to be very, very careful about getting Lasik surgery. And I went to one of the top guys, Dr. Robert Maloney, and I did my research and I didn't just go to like some guy in the Dominican Republic for $50. And I have a condition called epithelial cell in growth. And what happened was I've lost about 30% of the vision of my right eye, permanent. So I just want to warn people, there's not one single long-term study done on Lasik. And I feel that it's kind of sold like it's like a haircut. You go in, it takes two to three minutes. It's this miracle cure. You never need glasses again. And five surgeries later, I'm just here to tell you, that was not my story. And it's been kind of a nightmare. So I actually have a whole page about it on my website, kathygriffin.net. So if you're thinking about Lasik, I'm not saying this is going to happen to you. I'm just saying make an educated decision and go on my website and just at least look at the page first.
1:30:45
Drew
Well, there's not on earth a medication or an invasive procedure that cannot harm you.
1:30:51
Adam
Right.
1:30:52
Drew
There's no such thing.
1:30:53
Adam
But I will say that in what I was told, you know, you sign these releases, right? And you go in for any you get in LA, if you get a facial, you have to sign a release. And they all have this. Complications happen in less than 1% of patients. Well, if it's less than 1%, my story, then why am I getting so many emails from around the country, calls from people? So in my own amateur research, I'm seeing that my complication is more like 3 to 8%. That's pretty high.
1:31:18
Drew
You're just adding up the numbers of LASIKs out of this country.
1:31:20
Adam
And this is what I found in, like, the London Telegraph had an article, the review of ophthalmology. So just remember that with these LASIK doctors, it's a very profitable business. They don't necessarily want you to hear from people like me. They want everyone to think that nothing could ever go wrong. But I'm just saying, it usually doesn't go wrong. But when it does go wrong, it's bad. It's nasty.
1:31:40
Drew
One quick question for Kathy. Sarah 16.
1:31:43
Kathy Griffin
Hi.
1:31:44
Adam
Hey, Sarah.
1:31:44
Kathy Griffin
Hi.
1:31:45
Caller
Oh my gosh. I'm such a big fan of you guys.
1:31:47
Drew
Oh, thank you.
1:31:48
Adam
Thank you.
1:31:49
Caller
Listen to you all the time. I've been going out with my boyfriend for about three months. And yesterday, he told me that he like we haven't done anything sexual or anything. And he told me that he wanted to like have sex with me between my boobs. And I was afraid that was like a normal thing. And I asked one of my friends and he's like, Oh yeah, you know, that's like a normal thing. I was just worrying that was normal.
1:32:11
Drew
Yeah. Hang on. Let me just say that.
1:32:14
Adam
It's humiliating.
1:32:15
Drew
Let me just say, no, no. I'm not saying you should.
1:32:16
Adam
Why does he have to do a bronze key?
1:32:17
Drew
I'm not saying you should do it. I'm just saying, Sarah, just know that men from about the age of 15 to 30 are in a testosterone storm.
1:32:26
Adam
They want to put their penis anywhere they can.
1:32:29
Drew
All crazy places. They have a motivational priority, an urgent priority to orgasm.
1:32:34
Adam
And his man juice has got to go all over the place.
1:32:37
Drew
It has to come out or God takes it out during the night for him. And the fact is that they want to do all kinds of goofy things and at least he's not trying to do it of course.
1:32:45
Adam
Okay, but I think that she should strike a deal. If he gets to do a bronski, she gets to put something up his butt. And let's say how he likes that. I want you to say, here's the deal. You can go ahead and do it in my boobs. I'm going to get a small gerbil. I'm going to put it up your butt. And then we have a deal. Cause you know what? He's not going to want to.
1:33:00
Drew
Oh, well listen, you don't know guys.
1:33:02
Adam
He might. He might be into it. He might be like, if it's not too big.
1:33:05
Drew
Not just into it. He's just a question.
1:33:07
Adam
He'll start dating the gerbil.
1:33:08
Drew
It's just a question of how much pain they're willing to go through to get their needs met. And some guys, it's pretty severe.
1:33:12
Adam
But what does she get out of it?
1:33:13
Drew
Nothing. Okay.
1:33:14
Adam
His man juices on her neck and then she gets what out of it?
1:33:17
Drew
Sarah, relax. Just kind of take it slow and easy. He's just seeing what he can get out of you.
1:33:22
Caller
It's just like a thing he's doing.
1:33:25
Drew
It's just what?
1:33:26
Caller
It's just like something he's doing to try to build up to sex or what?
1:33:29
Drew
Well, it's just something. No, it's something he'd really, really like to do.
1:33:31
Adam
He just wants to do it. Yeah.
1:33:33
Drew
You don't have to do it. It doesn't mean you're not a good girlfriend.
1:33:35
Adam
Can he get an apple pie, like an American pie?
1:33:38
Drew
Sure. I'm sure he has.
1:33:39
Adam
He has.
1:33:39
Drew
He has. Don't worry, a cantaloupe pie or whatever. Just don't decide what you want to do, not what he needs you to do, what you would like to do in that relationship, and that's what you do.
1:33:49
Adam
Because you know, afterwards she's going to just be going, eww, my neck is dripping with stuff.
1:33:53
Drew
Then he's going to be like, well, now it's going to be on to the next thing. Let's go next.
1:33:57
Adam
Take the gerbil out. Let's go.
1:33:58
Drew
Well, Kathy, we got to take another break again.
1:34:00
Adam
What?
1:34:00
Drew
Yeah, it's crazy.
1:34:01
Adam
Oh, it's nuts.
1:34:01
Drew
I know it is. So it's allegedly DVD.
1:34:04
Adam
Yeah.
1:34:04
Drew
It's a Bravo show. Kathy Griffin on Bravo.
1:34:07
Adam
Every Wednesday night.
1:34:08
Drew
Did your party, by the way, go on the air?
1:34:10
Adam
Oh, yeah. It was in like two weeks ago. You were on it, Drew.
1:34:12
Drew
That's what I heard. I didn't get to see it though. And Wednesday at 10 p.m. And then Kathy Griffin is not Nicole Kidman.
1:34:18

1:35:17
Caller
Now, now, now.
1:35:19

I said I got a bad feeling.
1:35:20
Adam
I know, all of a sudden something, ow, it hurts, Adam's voice.
1:35:23
Drew
