Voiceover
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist.
1:26
Drew
I'll be Nero for the night.
1:28
Adam
I know Drew is hungry. And it was funny in classic Loveline tradition. Tara, don't call me Tara, the phone screener. Drew asked for some nuts. I think we were out of them. She just held up one of those sort of almost clear keg-size things of pretzels. You buy them at the Price Club with a smart final iris. It's the, you know, it holds 300 pretzels. She held the one up. I don't think there was half a pretzel in there. I mean, if you, if we broke it all down and poured it into a pretzel mold, I think we could get a pretzel and a half out. But there was like, you know what, you know what ends up at the bottom of the pretzel jar?
2:06
Drew
That's what she was showing us.
2:08
Adam
It looks like somebody backed over a pretzel container and then dumped the scraps. That's not gonna do for you, Drew?
2:18
Drew
No, not tonight.
2:19
Adam
All right, all right there. I remember when pretzel remnants were good enough for you, Drew.
2:25
Drew
There was a time, I suppose.
2:26
Adam
Yeah, there was a time. And by the way, here's how you know you've really arrived. You stop finishing off food by holding the sack to your mouth and hitting the bottom of it. I used to finish everything in two ways. I would either lick whatever paper, the burrito or the burger, became wrapped in or scrape it off with my nail, or just turn the sack of fritos over and if there's nothing in there, I still, if I give it a little whack on the bottom, I could get a little powder. Maybe some MSG and a little salt would fall into my mouth. But a psychological victory. Now I just eat the whole ones. And then the half ones. I don't go smaller than half. That means you've arrived. Alex?
3:08
Caller
Yeah.
3:08
Adam
You're 15.
3:09
Caller
Yeah.
3:09
Adam
What's up?
3:10
Caller
My girlfriend gave me a hand job. And about an hour after that and until it's been going on until today, my left testicle has been hurting every time I take a leak. It burned.
3:22
Drew
Really?
3:23
Caller
Yeah.
3:24
Adam
Burning.
3:25
A hand job.
3:26
Adam
Irritated.
3:26
Drew
Urethra. Urethra. Was she extra vigorous?
3:30
Caller
A little, yeah.
3:30
Drew
She was too aggressive, huh?
3:32
Adam
Did it take a little while?
3:34
Caller
No. Normal. She just went pretty hard and fast.
3:37
Drew
Yeah. All right. Well.
3:38
Adam
You guys in a hurry? Had to make a movie?
3:40
Drew
Did you ask her to maybe slow down a little bit?
3:43
Caller
No. We were both kind of in the mood, you know?
3:46
Drew
Yeah. Your mood was a total shock that somebody would give you a hand job. You wouldn't want to destroy the moment by speaking up, right?
3:52
Adam
But it is a guy, first off, you feel no pain when you have an erection, and you have a woman latched on your honker at 15. And number two-
4:01
Drew
That's the point. He's in shock.
4:02
Adam
But number two, as a guy, it's like, as a guy, when you're driving with someone, you don't want to say slow down.
4:09
Drew
Right.
4:10
Adam
You seem like a puss.
4:11
Drew
That's right.
4:11
Adam
You don't want to say slow down to anything. Oh, Drew got himself some nuts and a couple sacks of triscuits. Join me. And this is great. This big score. I'll trade you all that for these almonds right here. All right. All right. So maybe he irritated the urethra. So what should he do?
4:27
Drew
Well, and then what happens is the sometimes that inflammation gets down into the epididymis and you get an epididymitis on top of that. So that is something that may need to be treated. You might just try some anti-inflammatory, some Advil or some over-the-counter, see if it takes care of it. But if it doesn't, it is important that you see a urologist. It's not like you're going to get an STD from a hand job.
4:45
Caller
No, I know that.
4:46
Drew
Yeah. But you do get, you can't get symptoms like that and can get the urethritis from the mechanical irritation, then can get what's called epididymitis.
4:53
Adam
What's the technique, Alex? Is it a full fist technique?
4:56
Caller
Yeah.
4:57
Adam
Nice. That means you got something to work with.
5:00
Caller
Yeah. Yeah.
5:01
Adam
Okay. Mr. Personality over there, by the way. Why is it all the guys who are void of a personality get the most hand jobs? In high school.
5:11
Drew
At the youngest age.
5:12
Yeah.
5:14
Adam
Here it's like you have a small vocabulary, you're sort of abrupt, you have no real personality, you're a little antisocial. God will repay you with a hand job, possibly oral sex. Well, what kind of justice is that? Okay. He'll be fine. Take an Advil. See what it feels in a couple of days.
5:32
Drew
Yeah. Let's see some of it. It's not getting better.
5:34
Adam
All right. Jake.
5:36
Caller
Yeah.
5:37
Adam
You're 18. What's up?
5:38
Caller
I have an extra hole above my anus. It's about, I don't know, like two inches, I guess. There's a bump to the left side of it.
5:48
Drew
Right. That when I push on it hard enough, sometimes something comes out of it.
5:52
Caller
Oh, yeah.
5:53
And blood as well.
5:54
Drew
My. That's called a weight. It's called a pylonyto cyst. Okay.
5:58
Caller
Okay.
5:59
Drew
And they can get become abscessed. They can be a real mess and they need to be surgically removed. They don't get better by themselves typically.
6:05
Adam
Good times.
6:06
Caller
I've had it for a long time.
6:07
Drew
Have you ever had somebody look at it?
6:09
Caller
Yeah.
6:09
Drew
I had this Northopedist look at it.
6:11
Caller
But I mean, he said it was topical and I could have removed, but it wasn't a big problem.
6:15
Drew
He told you it was a pylonyl cyst, right?
6:16
Caller
He didn't say it. He just said it was topical.
6:18
Adam
Drew, for autobody work, they have something called Bondo.
6:23
Drew
Yeah.
6:23
Adam
It's like a two-part, a catalyst and a resin. What about filling it up with something?
6:27
I think I'm going to skip that.
6:28
Drew
Well, now what you could do is there are glues now, glues for body parts as opposed to suturing. No, they can actually, one of the things some surgeons might do is put something down the cyst, tract, slice it open, and then...
6:44
Adam
Glue it shut?
6:45
Drew
They wouldn't glue it shut, though, because that tends to cause it to reform. They let it heal from the inside out. And yeah, it's going to stay there until you get it taken out, so... Okay.
6:53
Adam
Well, that must be, whatever comes out of there must have a funk all its own.
7:00
Drew
Oh yeah.
7:00
Adam
I mean, does it?
7:01
Yeah, it's got a little bit of a smell to it.
7:03
Adam
A little bit.
7:05
Drew
It's called putrid.
7:06
Adam
Yeah. Well, you know what I love about the body is it manufactures such a wide variety of smells.
7:13
Drew
Yeah.
7:14
Adam
You got your urine smell, you got your ass smell, you got your underarm smell. And just think, you even got your like earwax smell, but you got that whole thing then from another planet, which is that under the sack, that sweaty ball smell.
7:27
Drew
You've been deprived of some of these things too, huh?
7:29
Adam
Some of the smells?
7:30
Drew
You don't smell.
7:31
Adam
I'm not a big smeller, but you want to get in touch with my sack after a long day.
7:36
Drew
Oh, really?
7:37
Adam
You're going to find something there.
7:38
Drew
That's where it all goes, huh?
7:39
Adam
Yeah, it does come out there, yeah. Thank you. Totally different than what's going on under the armpits, by the way. But would never mistake the two for the same. You know what I'm saying?
7:49
Drew
Yeah, 500 times worse, but yeah.
7:51
Adam
That's right. Hobo, hobo times hobo factor.
7:56
Drew
Six-hobo power.
7:57
Adam
Oh, power, that's right. You know, Drew and I haven't discussed this for a long time, but one of the things we stumbled on to earlier on in our careers is that there was no way of measuring stink.
8:08
Drew
Right, no stinko meter, units of stink.
8:12
Adam
Right, and you know, they have a way to measure just about everything, but not really the stinko meter, and there's not even really a name for it.
8:20
Drew
No.
8:21
Adam
And so we were talking once, and I think a guy said this chick smelled like 100 hobos between her legs, and we decided we should come up with the hobo factor.
8:30
Drew
Hobo power.
8:31
Adam
Hobo power.
8:31
Drew
It was horsepower, hobo power.
8:33
Adam
Yeah, and hobo, you know, power 6, power to 10, power to 15.
8:37
Drew
12 hobo power.
8:38
Adam
Yeah, I don't know what the highest would be.
8:40
Drew
300 hobo power, wow.
8:41
Adam
Whoa, that's a high-performance hobo. Tara?
8:44
Yeah.
8:45
Adam
You're 18?
8:46
Caller
Yes, sir.
8:47
Adam
What's up? You're depressed?
8:49
Caller
No. Sunday morning, like at about 1 a.m., maybe midnight, I don't know, I don't really remember. I was attacked and almost raped by this drunk guy that I was trying to help.
9:02
Drew
Hang on, this Sunday?
9:03
Caller
Yeah.
9:03
Drew
Just a couple of days ago. All right.
9:05
Caller
Yeah.
9:06
Adam
Okay. Yesterday, wasn't it? Sunday?
9:09
Drew
Today, Monday?
9:10
Adam
Yeah.
9:10
Drew
Yeah, okay.
9:11
Adam
Okay, this happened yesterday. Where were you trying to help him?
9:15
Caller
Well, we were on the beach with some friends, and he lost his friends. He couldn't find them. And he said he didn't know where he lived. So this girl and I were like, okay, well, we see someone in the pier, so we'll walk you down there, and we'll see if we, if that's them. And it ended up not being them. And he, like, drove us down to the water, where he proceeded to, like, kiss us.
9:37
Drew
He dragged you down to the water?
9:39
Caller
Yeah.
9:39
Drew
Both of you?
9:40
Caller
Yeah.
9:41
Drew
How did he hang on to you?
9:43
Caller
Like, by our arms. He was really strong.
9:45
Caller
Huh.
9:46
Drew
Okay.
9:46
Caller
Wow.
9:47
Adam
Okay. So he dragged both of you toward the water? And was there any lifeguards or anything?
9:52
Caller
Oh, no. It was, like, at one o'clock in the morning.
9:55
Drew
Pitch black.
9:55
Adam
Oh, I see. Oh, I didn't know it was that late. Okay. So he dragged you down toward the water, and then what?
10:01
Caller
And then, um, he, like, pulled us down to the water, and he was, like, trying to finger us and trying to kiss us and trying to get...
10:10
Drew
Simultaneously, too.
10:12
Caller
Yeah.
10:13
Adam
One of you couldn't have gotten away when he was trying to finger you?
10:15
Caller
Well, we were trying, but the waves were breaking pretty hard, and it was kind of hard to...
10:19
Drew
Were you intoxicated?
10:20
Caller
No. No, no.
10:21
Caller
Wow.
10:23
Adam
All right. I, um, I know this is dramatic, but I know Drew and I also have some problems with this story. I mean, I, uh, but we'll get to those. Nothing's your fault, but how two girls, when he's trying to, like, finger you and stuff, don't you, you can't... Waves, you gotta hold him...
10:39
Drew
Hold with one hand...
10:40
Adam
Can one person get running one direction or another?
10:43
Caller
Well, we were kind of smacking him away and we didn't want... I didn't want to leave him with her because he could have, like, accidentally drowned her or raped her or something.
10:51
Adam
All right.
10:51
Drew
All right, so somebody was standing by to watch the other. All right, that makes sense now.
10:53
Adam
All right, so then what?
10:54
Caller
So we finally drug him out of the water and stupid, dumbasses we were, we didn't want him to drown, for some reason. So we got him out of the water and we got him walking again and he stopped and he fell down and he pulled my friend on top of him and they were like rolling over and I pushed him off and my friend and her friend came and he like intimidated him because he was a huge guy and he walked away and then we got in the car and then we reported it to the police.
11:27
Adam
That's good.
11:27
Drew
That's good. And you're still not feeling right now, is that right?
11:31
Caller
No, I'm not.
11:32
Drew
Yeah, I mean it's normal to have a post-traumatic stress reaction after something like that. That's pretty hairy. Thank God you made it through sort of unscathed and learned something from it. But yeah, you're going to not sleep right and have a little anxiety and startle more easily and maybe even get a little depressed for a couple of days. Sure.
11:47
Caller
Because my mom said it was my fault. It was something that I did.
11:51
Drew
That makes you feel much better, huh?
11:52
Caller
When I came home she even asked me if I was okay. She just looked at me and said that I was a whore and that I should have got raped and that if I did I would have deserved it.
12:02
Drew
Oh my, what's with your mom?
12:03
Adam
Well, she makes some points. That's not being hard.
12:06
Drew
How's your dad in all this?
12:09
Caller
He hasn't talked to me. He won't talk to me.
12:13
Drew
To me, this, the whole situation seems sort of, this isn't even victimization. It's sort of normal, naïve 17, 18 year old stumbling around.
12:22
Adam
I understand that, but let's get a little back story. Did your mom say, don't go to the beach, or you shouldn't have been there at night, or what were you doing drinking at the beach at 1 a.m. Or whatever it was.
12:32
Drew
Was she trying to make some other point, is what Adam's saying?
12:34
Caller
Well, she said that I shouldn't have gone to Clearwater Beach, because she says that the only reason why you'd go there is to get laid, but that's not why we went.
12:41
Drew
Well, you and I went there together.
12:43
Adam
Yeah.
12:44
Drew
Clearwater Beach. Cornhole, Drew.
12:46
Adam
It was great. But we were there?
12:48
Drew
That place with the peanuts. Remember we ate peanuts in that place? It was by the water. How was that?
12:53
Adam
Oh, yeah. We were in Florida.
12:54
Caller
Yeah.
12:54
Adam
We were in Clearwater.
12:55
Caller
Yeah.
12:56
Adam
I tried to rape Drew. I wouldn't have any of it.
12:58
Drew
I fought him off. I tried to finger him.
12:59
Adam
All right. Tried. Smell me. Tara?
13:03
Caller
Yeah.
13:03
Adam
Okay. I'm sorry for what happened, and I'm sorry that your parents are sort of insensitive. I'm sure there's a little more backstory here with maybe you defying them a little bit in general, them not being real happy with your grades and your defiance and that kind of stuff.
13:21
Caller
It's not really that. It's, well, maybe, because they kind of sheltered me my whole life.
13:25
Drew
Right. That's what I get. That's what I get, is that you really have been so sheltered, you don't have the judgment to know a problem when you see one and then to get yourself out of one, and then to really defend yourself properly against an intruder.
13:38
Adam
Well, she did a decent job.
13:39
Drew
You did a decent job, though, on the day it was done. Your parents, obviously, are very anguished. They love you very much, and this is their own fear. Unfortunately, it's harming.
13:48
Adam
I don't know about very much with the horror comment.
13:49
Drew
Well, it's harming her, and it's really pathetic and sad. I would certainly tell your parents how painful and how destructive their feelings are.
13:58
Adam
Also, not to deny anything, any part of your story, but here it goes. Women, especially. Guys do this, too, but please tell me I'm right here, Drew, because I had a pain in the ass troubled sister myself. I used to get in all kinds of trouble. They hear feelings. They take feelings, and they translate them into words.
14:19
Drew
Oh, your sister does, yeah.
14:21
Adam
My sister did this all growing up. A lot of our young female callers do this. Guys don't do it too much. Like you're saying, geez, you were assaulted at the beach. Your mom called you a whore? No. I'll bet you what mom said is, is you shouldn't have been there. I told you not to go there. I told you not to go. She didn't say it's your fault. She said, I warned you about going to those places at night with these guys. The people that go there are whores. Probably the word whore was not brought up, but probably there was some, they made it, made them partially responsible, and that's what they heard. You whore, it's your fault.
14:59
Drew
Why don't you ask her, just out of curiosity. Maybe she can be your street about that. Tara, did she use the word whore? Oh, not exactly.
15:08
Adam
Alright, thank you.
15:10
Liar whore, liar whore, you know it.
15:14
Adam
What must it be like for me to be right almost all the time? Think about that, Drew.
15:20
Drew
Well, what I hate is that-
15:21
Adam
She just got done saying her mom called her a whore. And I, based on nothing, said, no, she didn't call her whore. And she said not in those words. Anne could have very easily said yes, she did.
15:32
Drew
Yeah, could have.
15:33
Adam
It's gotta be tough. It's a burden.
15:35
Drew
But now we're gonna have 12 callers call her. You were hard on that girl. How dare you? You know all the time, huh? Sure, Mr. Smart.
15:44
Adam
No, listen, I'm glad nothing bad happened to her. I do know there's something going on with her defying her parents. And I don't like her hanging around.
15:51
Drew
Well, here's the deal. She is steeped in shame. Her parents have shamed the hell out of her because they haven't given her a chance to individuate properly. And now this is the price of that. This is this is eating disorder, Bill.
16:00
Adam
All right. She's 18. Go off to college.
16:03
Drew
Yes, absolutely.
16:03
Adam
Sheila?
16:04
Yeah.
16:05
Adam
You're 15? What's up?
16:08
Caller
Well, I have a problem.
16:10
I kind of have a couple of questions. One for you because you talk a lot and the other one for Dr. Drew. All right. I'll start with Dr. Drew because he's quick and easy. Dr. Drew, I'm going to be playing football with boys. What kind of safety precautions should I know about or take care of? From the standpoint of playing with guys?
16:34
Drew
Well, listen, it's not fair for me. I'm not a trainer of female contact football.
16:40
Adam
She just wanted to talk about playing with guys. So let's talk about that.
16:44
Caller
No, I want to know if I should...
16:46
Drew
I know of no special other than obviously appropriate gear and how your trainer should be able to help you with that.
16:50
Adam
Well, here's the way I look at it. You have brass and a lot of guys focus on that. Hey, I got a set of brass between my legs. You know what I'm saying?
17:00
Drew
You got more than that.
17:01
Adam
You got more than that. So you get to avoid that whole need in the groin aspect of the game. What position are you playing?
17:08
Linebacker.
17:10
Adam
Why?
17:11
Caller
Why?
17:11
Caller
Because I want to.
17:13
Drew
You ever played before?
17:14
Caller
No. This is my first year. I'm going to be on the JV team.
17:17
Drew
You've never played football before?
17:19
Adam
What do you think she played?
17:20
Caller
I played other sports before.
17:21
Drew
Is there a pop one that Crows can play in or anything?
17:25
Adam
Mm-mm.
17:27
Caller
Hold on.
17:27
Drew
They can't be excluded.
17:28
Adam
No. They could play. They just never do. All right. So you're going out for the JV team.
17:33
Drew
I'm in 15 being a female going to football the first time. That's heavy duty.
17:37
Adam
Yeah. But it'll be novelty.
17:39
Caller
I played both soccer and softball before.
17:41
Drew
And I catcher. Listen, football is a whole different deal. Listen, Sheila, it is a different deal.
17:46
Adam
I won't talk around.
17:47
Drew
No, I don't want to talk around. I'll just prepare yourself. It is a different deal.
17:49
Caller
I understand that. The coaches are nice. My team players are very nice.
17:52
Drew
No, I think it's cool. Listen, I don't discourage you. I just want you to prepare. This is going to be a different experience. And I want you to get a hurt.
17:58
Adam
Yeah. That makes me think back to my high school playing day.
18:01
Drew
Me too.
18:02
Adam
All Central Valley, first team. Thank you very much for lying back. So what's up? You want some pointers?
18:08
Caller
Yeah.
18:09
Adam
Alright, let me tell you something. Listen, listen. Your head needs to be on a swivel. You hear me?
18:14
Caller
Yeah, that's what my coach says.
18:16
Adam
That's right, on a swivel. And moving side to side, lateral speed. And here's, are you playing inside or outside backer?
18:24
Caller
I'm shooting for outside.
18:25
Drew
Contain, contain, contain.
18:27
Adam
Yeah. Here's my tip. This is going to help you a lot, whether you're inside or outside backer. You got to read wherever they're trying to block you.
18:37
Drew
That's what my teacher said.
18:38
Adam
If you're playing inside linebacker and that guard is supposed to block you, and the ball snapped and he's not coming out after you, it's a pass.
18:46
Drew
You go, yeah.
18:47
Adam
And if he pulls to the right, you better pull to your left or go to the right too, because that's a sweep and that's where the play is going.
18:54
Drew
Throw him down.
18:56
Adam
No matter what goes on out there, you can read it by, and one last thing.
19:01
Yes.
19:02
Adam
Especially if you're playing middle backer.
19:05
I hope not.
19:06
Adam
You got to step up. You can't wait for them to get to you.
19:10
Drew
What is that about the great linebackers? They don't just step up, they like a strike. They like, all of a sudden, like a blazer beam.
19:17
Adam
It took me a long time to figure that out, which is if they're coming right at you and you're staying your ground five yards, six yards behind the line, they got six yards. You're waiting for the guard to get to you, you'll get the guard, you'll get the full back, you'll get the half back all about the same time, it'll all be six yards. If that guard fires out at you, you better fire up at him and clog that hole. If you're playing outside backer, don't bite on that first fake before the quarterback kicks out and goes around you.
19:43
Caller
What do you mean by bite?
19:45
Drew
The first contact.
19:47
Caller
Okay.
19:48
Adam
Quarterback will do that fake to dive right through the two hole. You'll turn in on it and then he'll go around you. He'll pitch it out. You got contained.
19:57
Drew
Somebody will crack back on you.
19:59
Adam
All right. Now you have wheels on you. What's your 40 ton?
20:03
Caller
What's my 40 ton? What? Oh, I can run a mile.
20:07
Whoop, noop, noop.
20:09
Caller
Well, I haven't gotten that timed yet.
20:11
Adam
All right. That'll be good. You make the papers. Are you a lesson? No?
20:18
Caller
That's my question.
20:19
Drew
What's the question?
20:21
Caller
My question is, should I?
20:25
Drew
Do you date any of the guys?
20:27
Caller
I mean, like guys talk.
20:29
Drew
You're a lesbian.
20:31
Caller
Drew plays.
20:31
Drew
Are you playing ball to meet the guys? What? Do you want to meet the guys on the team? Is that part of the reason you play ball?
20:37
Caller
No.
20:39
Drew
That's fine.
20:40
Caller
I'm not like one of those guys that go into home act just to be with chicks.
20:44
Drew
Right. OK. Because that's why a guy would play a girl's sport.
20:49
Adam
Sure.
20:50
Caller
My question is, would it be kind of weird if I date other guys while being on the football team?
20:58
Drew
No. That's like saying would it be weird for them to date other girls?
21:01
Adam
Well, we mean girls... Wait a minute. She means girls... She means guys on the football team, right?
21:07
Caller
Yeah. But I'm a girl on the football team dating another guy.
21:12
Adam
Right. Well, listen, Sheila, I want you to try as hard as you can. I want you to give it your best effort. But listen, you'll be riding the pine. Don't worry about that. The football thing is not going to be a big thing in your life. What? That's my prediction. I hope it works out. Give it every effort. It'll build some character and date whoever you want, football team or not. She just wanted to talk about trying out for the football team. She didn't have a real question.
21:40
Drew
God bless her though.
21:41
Adam
Good. That's great. I'm fine with that. The only part I'm not fine about, as far as society goes, is if she sucks, they should be able to cut her. Just like a guy who sucks.
21:51
Drew
I have the same thing with that. If a guy had called in and I said, Hey, man, you're going to have a tough time. You've gone from never playing football to now playing JV football. That's going to be tough. Because I said that to a girl, 5,000 people are offended. I was like, Hey, just anybody going from not playing football to playing, that's going to be tough.
22:06
Adam
Well, the thing that they don't at 15 don't warn you about is you got to do some hitting. You got to get used to using your head early on.
22:14
Drew
All right.
22:14
Adam
And how old are your boys?
22:16
Drew
Eight.
22:16
Adam
Now it's time to start learning to use their head. They start using their head like a battering ram. Start hitting guys. Spearing, crack backs.
22:24
Drew
They already do, strangely enough.
22:26
Adam
Good. Toughen up that skull of theirs. Work for me. Look at me. All right. We'll take a little break. When we come back, speak to Michelle. She's pushing her girlfriend away. She goes out and works. She cries.
22:42
Drew
You want to do something different?
22:43
Adam
We'll do it real fast after this.
22:47
Caller
Hello? Is this Loveline?
22:48
Call 1-800-LOVE-191. Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back.
23:28
Hello, everybody. Loveline. Got to love the Loveline.
23:35
Adam
Phone number.
23:35
Got to, got to, got to, got to love the Loveline.
23:41
Adam
I'm Adam, that's Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1.
23:45
Drew
All right, we lost that call. We were probably... Oh, we did?
23:47
Adam
Oh, big whoop. John?
23:50
Hey there.
23:51
Adam
You're 16. What's going on?
23:53
Caller
First of all, you guys are awesome.
23:54
Adam
Thank you.
23:56
Well, a friend of mine just got some mushrooms.
23:59
Adam
Yeah.
24:00
And, well, I've never done any drugs before.
24:04
Drew
Why start with mushrooms?
24:05
Adam
I don't know, that's not a bad place to start. That's a drug, that's a classic. It's a vintage drug. That's your dad's drug.
24:14
Drew
16.
24:15
Well, anyway, I was just wondering any side of it.
24:19
Drew
We don't know. Not that I've seen, but we're expecting to see.
24:24
Adam
It doesn't seem to be a whole lot with the mushrooms, Sean. Here's a couple of things.
24:28
Drew
Not after just a couple of exposures.
24:30
Adam
But let me float this. You could get high on mushrooms and fall off a cliff while you're camping.
24:37
Drew
Yes, you could. Or you could have a reaction. You could have a psychotic reaction.
24:41
Adam
Yeah.
24:41
Drew
PTSD from it.
24:42
Adam
You could spaz.
24:44
Drew
Yeah, pretty bad.
24:47
Adam
No.
24:47
Drew
I've never seen that. But whether you could damage the brain the way you can with other hallucinogens is sort of-
24:52
Adam
I don't know.
24:52
Drew
Probable, but the jury is out still.
24:55
Adam
The jury is never coming in on this one because-
24:57
Drew
Nobody uses enough of it.
24:58
Adam
Yeah. Everybody I know. Well, I shouldn't say everybody I know. Quite a few people I know have done their fair share in their youth, and none of them seems to be the worst for wear.
25:08
Drew
Oh my God. You're talking about your friends?
25:10
Yeah.
25:13
Caller
Yeah.
25:14
Adam
How dare you? How dare you, Drew? No, listen. Drew loves to pin everything to addiction, and substance abuse, and all that. But the friends of mine that are furthest behind and the most effed up didn't do any mushrooms at all, by the way. Not that there's any correlation between achieving success in life and doing mushrooms, but the more successful ones actually did do the mushrooms financially. I'll give you all the names off the air, Drew. You'll be delighted.
25:44
Drew
Think where they'd be if they hadn't done them.
25:45
Adam
You think my buddies like Ray and Zeb must have done mushrooms in order to not be where they're not today. Those were the two that wouldn't do any. Everyone else did them. Hey, John. Yeah. I know it's not this show. I'll tell you, I have mixed feelings about telling a 16-year-old to go ahead and do drugs, but we're trying to keep it real on this show. Mushrooms are more benign than a lot of drugs.
26:13
Drew
Less benign.
26:14
Adam
Drugs in general are not a great thing to get into.
26:18
Drew
They're not good for you, yeah.
26:18
Adam
But this probably ain't going to kill you, but at 16 I hadn't done mushrooms and wasn't thinking about it.
26:25
Caller
Is there any addiction related to it?
26:26
Adam
No.
26:26
Drew
Doesn't seem to be.
26:27
Adam
Not really. How old's your friend you're going camping with?
26:30
16.
26:31
Drew
Uh-huh.
26:31
Adam
Is he an experienced mushroom-er?
26:35
I think he's done it a couple of times.
26:37
Adam
The other thing too is you could spin out a little. It's nice to have a steady hand nearby. Just start with a little bit. Just for the record, don't take any.
26:46
Caller
What the hell?
26:48
Drew
Yeah.
26:49
Adam
It's not a bad one, though. I'll tell you, mushrooms, that's good times.
26:53
Drew
I did a daytime radio show today, and I was talking. Some guy calls up and goes, How dare you tell a young 24-year-old who found something in her breast that it's not breast cancer? He started yelling at me. What are you talking about? It's so bizarre what people take issue with.
27:07
Adam
Well, I'll tell you the problem with the media and our job and everyone's job. Everyone's job is to cover their ass. So everyone who calls this show, we say, That's bad. Don't do it.
27:20
Drew
Well, we also see a doctor and everybody.
27:23
Adam
No, but what a lot of radio shows will do is they'll go, Look, drugs are bad. Don't do drugs. Well, on this radio show, we're a little more realistic. We understand there's a distinction between mushrooms, heroin, crank, weed, booze. There's a difference in all of those. And we're going to approach it that way. It's no different than any other thing in life. And if we start, you know, the day we start saying to people, look, don't do this or don't do anything, then we lose our credibility because you know what you're going to get.
27:57
Drew
That's also what we were talking about last night, which is we're not going to tell anybody what to do or not do. It drives me crazy that they can't see what they're doing and where it comes from. And we're trying to help them see that. But it's certainly not going to tell anybody what they must or must not do.
28:09
Adam
Well, and I want to play the odds, too.
28:12
Caller
Oh.
28:13
Adam
I mean, if one guy in the last million has died because he took mushrooms, then I'm going to tell you, hey, the odds aren't very great that anything bad is going to happen to you. Let's face it, Francis?
28:25
Caller
Hi.
28:26
Adam
Hey, what's happening?
28:27
Caller
Hello?
28:28
Adam
Hey.
28:29
Caller
Hi.
28:29
Drew
Go ahead.
28:30
Caller
I can't believe I finally got through. Okay. Here's my problem. My boyfriend, my first real boyfriend, was basically busted for stealing one of my parents' company vehicles.
28:43
Drew
Nice.
28:44
Caller
Yeah. I know what I should do. I know I should step back and have nothing to do with them and everything, but I just stick around for that.
28:57
Drew
Hang on now. Wait, wait, wait. It's not like this guy was, you know, George Washington and then all of a sudden he stole something and therefore condemned.
29:04
Caller
No.
29:05
Drew
He's a bad guy. He's always been a troubled guy.
29:09
Caller
Yeah. Yeah.
29:10
Drew
What else is up with him?
29:12
Caller
He, well, he was raised by his grandmother. He has a really horrible dad who's just coming to the picture now because nobody else wants his dad around. So he's thriving on that.
29:22
Drew
Well, describe the guy to us. Is he...
29:25
Caller
He's really intellectually smart, but he has a pretty high IQ, but he just, he's kind of lost, like never.
29:35
Adam
How old is he?
29:36
Caller
He's 19.
29:36
Drew
Is he aggressive? Is he getting fights?
29:39
Caller
No, he gets verbally abusive when he's drunk.
29:43
Drew
Does he do a lot of... Okay, so he drinks a lot, does drugs.
29:46
Caller
He tried stopping a couple of times the drinking thing, but he doesn't do any drugs, just the alcohol really.
29:51
Drew
All right, so he's an alcoholic.
29:53
Caller
Yeah, definitely.
29:54
Drew
Okay.
29:55
Adam
You're cruising for potential disaster here, Francis.
29:58
Caller
Oh, and I know that. And the thing is, I know I should like... You always talk about, I guess, some book about, but I love him, and that's exactly what my problem is.
30:07
Drew
Yeah, well, what's your question?
30:09
Caller
My question is, everybody tells me to leave him alone and cut off all conversation with him, and I can't.
30:16
Drew
So what's your question?
30:17
Caller
What am I supposed to do? Like, I need some outside advice here, somebody that... Because I respect your guys' opinions, that I can't get mad at.
30:24
Drew
Well, let's not be facetious and just tell her to cut off all contact with him. But your mom or dad is an alcoholic?
30:31
Caller
No, my dad's a workaholic. My mom raised us, my dad, just to make sure there was money on the table. And like, my relationships to look at aren't too steady of them.
30:42
Drew
So there's got to be some addiction in there somewhere. Nobody's taking medicine, pharmaceutical?
30:47
Adam
Well, wait a minute.
30:49
Caller
Actually, there's no addiction except for the fact that my dad is always, always working.
30:53
Adam
Well, I don't want to dwell on this too long. Francis, here's the deal. You try and be very conscious of the fact that you should not be talking to this guy. It's not going to be done all at once.
31:05
Drew
No, no, no. That's not going to work.
31:07
Adam
Yeah, she can do it.
31:08
Drew
No. Then she'll find another one.
31:11
Adam
Well, hold on. But Drew, we talk about this all the time. I know we like to break everyone off into their own little separate categories and everything. But there is the phenomenon, and it's a very accepted one, of young girls 18 years ago. They like the dangerous guy.
31:26
Drew
Absolutely. That's true.
31:27
Adam
Dad's some nebbish guys working his ass off. They get hooked up with the rebel guy.
31:31
Drew
Yeah, that's true.
31:32
Adam
Now, she wants to get away from this guy, and she's having difficulty, but she seems to be cognizant of it. I don't see her marrying alcoholics and being beaten and all that kind of stuff.
31:46
Drew
Now, all we have, of course, is our intuition when talking to these people. We've got a couple of minutes to speak with them. But my sense was that she was more connected to him than she should have been. It wasn't just about getting involved with the danger of being connected to an alpha male. She's really emotionally invested in this, more so than she should be, and she knows that, and she's lost in that. To disconnect from that, that's what codependency is, and I think she needs to go to Al-Anon. I don't think it's going to happen without that. You got to sponsor, you got to work some steps, and I believe that you'll find that your dad may have a little alcohol problem, you just don't see it because they're away all the time.
32:16
Adam
All right, we will, you know what I did today, Drew?
32:20
Drew
Can't wait, what?
32:22
Adam
I told my-
32:23
Drew
I napped and masturbated.
32:24
Adam
How dare you?
32:26
Drew
Except for that.
32:26
Adam
I've been working my ass off today. I told my accountant, and this is my new thing, and I'd like to bring this one back, I suggest everyone listening does this too. You don't have to tell your accountant, but you just start working in India every day, every day, verbiage. I got something and it said, you know, compensated for the amount of, and then there was, you know, four grand or something. I said, I want to start saying, to the tune of. I think it sounds cooler, and it's one of these things that's going to die.
32:57
Drew
On the score, to settle the score for?
32:59
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. How, how, how'd you do playing poker? Oh, I, I won. I won big. To the tune of 900, to the tune of, instead of saying to the amount of. Yeah. It's cooler. You guys who are listening, you got to keep that alive. You're a young generation. This is worn off. You probably, a lot of you people haven't even heard of this. You don't hear it brought up anymore, Drew. Everybody, to the tune of. And then you put the price in. Oh yeah. And it's always good because it really, oh, they find him. Oh, he won't be doing that again. Oh, fine. Yeah, that NBA. He was fine to the tune of $35,000. To the tune of $35,000. Oh, big whoop. It's great. I'd like you guys to keep that going, please. There's certain things that are going to die off. Drew, to the tune of?
33:48
Drew
To the tune of.
33:50
Adam
Mike?
33:51
Yes.
33:52
Adam
You're 17?
33:53
Caller
Yes.
33:54
Adam
What's up?
33:54
Caller
Not much.
33:55
Adam
All right.
33:56
Drew
Did you call us about something?
33:57
Adam
You masturbate frequently?
33:59
Caller
Every once in a while, yeah.
34:01
Adam
How often?
34:02
Caller
I don't know. A couple of times a week, maybe.
34:05
Adam
To the tune of three times a week.
34:08
Caller
All right.
34:08
Drew
All right. What's your question?
34:10
Caller
Well, for about the past year, every time I whack it, I've had joint problems, my knees and stuff, and my fingers and all my joints to get inflamed. I've had a couple of knee injuries from sports, but it's been from my knees, stuff being inflamed from the thing. And that's happened, like, every time I whack it, I know it's impossible that it's from this, because every time I dig in a flame, that's where I whack it or something.
34:37
Caller
Dude, you beat off? What?
34:40
Drew
Mike, you need to see it. Forget the whacking history. Just get up and take a look at the inflammation of the legs. OK?
34:47
Adam
It's not related.
34:49
Caller
But I never never told him that.
34:52
Drew
I don't think it's important.
34:53
Adam
Hey, Mike, you got some problems emotionally?
34:56
Caller
No.
34:57
Adam
You have, you're not taking, let's say, Ritalin to The Tune of 750 milligrams a day or something like that?
35:03
Caller
No, it's a Gatorole. It's different.
35:04
Drew
Oh, that's the same thing.
35:06
Caller
No, it's different. It's like...
35:07
Drew
Yeah, I understand. But you have ADD. You're supposed to go, how did you know that? As opposed to, no, you're wrong.
35:13
Adam
Right.
35:14
Drew
Yeah.
35:14
Adam
I magically guessed the sister of the medication that he was on.
35:19
Drew
Yeah. It could be related to the medication, although that would be kind of peculiar.
35:23
Adam
It's not the masturbation. That's weird obsessive thinking.
35:26
Drew
And there are actually urethral irritations that can trigger joint complaints.
35:29
Adam
But your knees are not becoming inflamed because you're being off, unless you're doing it in a praying position on a hardwood floor.
35:36
Drew
Or if he's really irritating his urethra, sometimes it's a cross reaction there. Urethritis.
35:40
Adam
As all his joints are becoming inflamed?
35:42
Drew
Urethritis and synovitis.
35:44
Adam
Twice a week? To the tune of two whacks a week?
35:46
Drew
The tune of twice a week isn't quite right, but again, it needs to be sort of put together. Somebody needs to evaluate this carefully.
35:52
Adam
Yeah, but I think when you clear things up in the control tower magically the airport will start running better.
35:59
Drew
The medication could be a problem too.
36:00
Adam
Okay, we'll take a break.
36:35
Hey, everybody.
36:36
Adam
It's a loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That is Dr. Drew. Phone number to the tune of 1-800-LOVE-191. Right, Drew?
36:47
Drew
That's the number.
36:50
Adam
Lizette?
36:51
Caller
Hi.
36:52
Adam
Hey, you're 16.
36:53
Caller
Yeah.
36:54
Adam
What's up?
36:55
Caller
Well, for the past six months, I have had four boyfriends, and I have one right now. I've been sleeping with them, and I have had sex with them for like, I don't know, a lot of times. And every time I have, like, sex with them, I give them blue balls every time we end up finishing.
37:10
Drew
What do you mean?
37:11
Caller
I give them blue balls.
37:12
Drew
What is that? What do you mean by that?
37:13
Caller
I don't let them come in time or something like that.
37:17
Adam
Oh, baby. I smell some teenage pregnancy right around the corner for you, baby.
37:24
Caller
What?
37:24
Adam
What are you using for protection?
37:26
Caller
Trojans.
37:28
Drew
Do you know about the morning after pill? Do you know about emergency contraception?
37:32
Caller
No.
37:33
Drew
If something goes wrong with the condom or you doesn't put it on or it slips off, there's a pill you can take within three days and it prevents the pregnancy.
37:41
Caller
It does?
37:41
Drew
Yeah. So you make sure you get some what's called emergency contraception available, okay? EC.
37:46
Caller
The thing is that my parents don't know.
37:48
Drew
Yeah.
37:48
Caller
Well.
37:49
Adam
But they'll know if you get pregnant.
37:50
Caller
Yeah.
37:51
Drew
You still get that emergency contraception. You can get it Planned Parenthood. You can get it from any doctor.
37:54
Caller
Where can I get it?
37:55
Drew
Planned Parenthood.
37:56
Adam
Or any doctor.
37:57
Caller
Or any doctor.
37:59
Adam
Hey, Lizette. I'll talk to you about your problem. But you just promise me you don't have sex without birth control or protection.
38:06
Caller
Okay.
38:06
Drew
No matter what.
38:07
Adam
And you get that emergency contraception stuff so you don't get pregnant.
38:10
Caller
I will.
38:11
Adam
All right. Now, your boyfriend does not have an orgasm?
38:15
Caller
No.
38:16
Adam
How old is he?
38:18
Caller
The same age as I am, 16.
38:19
Adam
You're fat. Drew, please. He never does? All the other guys didn't?
38:26
Caller
Well, they have dumped me for the same reason.
38:28
Adam
They dump you because they can't have an orgasm when they're having sex with you?
38:33
Caller
Yeah.
38:34
Drew
What do you think that is?
38:35
Adam
What are you talking about? Listen, I would have dumped a cadaver. That they fish out of a dumpster at UCLA when I was 16, if I could have had sex with it.
38:47
Drew
I beg your pardon. Are you telling us too much?
38:50
Adam
Oh, man, that was a little specific, wasn't it?
38:53
Caller
Yeah. I got rid of her.
38:55
Adam
Lizette? Was it her? How dare you? Well, the girls get loose when they die. Lizette, you're having intercourse with these guys?
39:05
Drew
No.
39:06
Adam
What are you doing then?
39:08
Caller
Well, they're doing it to me, but I'm not doing it to them.
39:10
Drew
You said you were having sex with them.
39:12
Adam
Hold on. What are they doing to you?
39:14
Caller
You know.
39:15
Drew
No, we don't know. We weren't there.
39:17
Caller
What?
39:18
Drew
Well, you opened up by saying you were having sex with them, so that means intercourse.
39:22
Caller
Yeah, I know, but other stuff.
39:24
Drew
Not intercourse.
39:25
Caller
No.
39:26
Drew
So why is he using a Trojan if he's not having intercourse?
39:30
Caller
No, wait, he is, but it's because I didn't hear you. I was listening to something else.
39:35
Adam
All right. Lizette? All right, hang on one second, all right?
39:38
Caller
Okay.
39:40
Drew
I can't. That was so convoluted, we couldn't even do a reenactment of that.
39:45
Adam
She used, what do you use for protection?
39:47
Drew
Nope, we're having sex. We use for protection, right?
39:51
Adam
Listen, I'm tired and angry. I've had an ass full of all you kids who got one eye on the TV and one ear on this radio show. If you're, don't, this is a national radio show, don't waste our time with this, huh, what, huh, what? No, I wasn't listening, what? Oh, I'm sorry, I was paying attention to something else. They keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Lizette, stew in your own stupid juices for just some time until I feel like talking to you. Then we'll see, because right now, I'm being distracted by some other calls, okay? And whenever I feel like it, I will get back to Lizette. And Lizette, if you want to hang up, hang up now.
40:30
Drew
No, I'd rather you-
40:30
Adam
And if you don't want to hang up, hang on, but I may get back to you in two minutes, and I may get back to you in an hour and five minutes.
40:36
Drew
But compose your story.
40:38
Adam
Now, or don't, I don't care. Jennifer?
40:42
Yeah?
40:42
Adam
You're 21, what's up?
40:44
Caller
What do I want? Um, I can't get wet.
40:47
Caller
Huh.
40:49
Caller
And, um, I'm 21. I've been having sex since I was very young, 14. And I love sex. I'm a nympho. I have to have it, like, every day. I've got to say sometimes I can't do it because I want it so much.
41:07
Drew
Wow, that sounds well.
41:08
Caller
And I've been to the doctor and, you know, he just says maybe I'm not giving enough time during foreplay or, um, I just, I don't know what to do. I use a lubricant called Wet. Right now it's water-based and it's spermicide. It works great, but it just, it kind of kills the moment, you know? Hang on, hon, let me go pump some lube.
41:33
Drew
Well, let's talk about more what's going on with you sexually. You were every day having sex?
41:38
Caller
Well, yeah, pretty much.
41:40
Drew
Okay, okay. And since you were 14?
41:43
Caller
Well, yeah.
41:44
Drew
Okay. And?
41:45
Caller
I mean, even if I wasn't with a man, I mean, I would be pleasing myself because, I mean, ever since I was very young, I bring myself to orgasm very easily.
41:55
Drew
And so, even when you're having orgasm, there's no wetness?
41:59
Caller
I'm sorry?
41:59
Drew
Even when you're having orgasm, say, by yourself, no lubrication?
42:04
Caller
No, no. Only with a man afterwards, I'll get wet for a little while, but then it'll tighten up and dry up again. And I've been with women before also. Sure. I can't get wet with them either.
42:18
Adam
Me neither. Jennifer, do you have one boyfriend right now?
42:22
Caller
I'm engaged, yes.
42:24
Adam
Oh, you are?
42:25
Caller
Yes, sir.
42:25
Drew
And you guys are monogamous?
42:27
Caller
Oh, very.
42:28
Adam
Okay.
42:29
Drew
And nothing with him either?
42:31
Caller
Well, in the beginning of the relationship, but not, no, not anything anymore.
42:38
Drew
Do you have any issues with sex? I'm just saying, anything happen to you, anything we should know about?
42:42
Caller
I'm sorry, what?
42:43
Drew
Anything happen to you, anything we should know about in terms of issues with your sexuality?
42:46
Caller
No, no, no, no, no. When I was young, like 14, 15, and 16, I had a lot of bacteria infections that my doctors said were caused from dancing a lot because I'm a ballerina.
43:01
Adam
Uh-oh.
43:02
Caller
They said that wearing tights and things of that nature.
43:05
Adam
Yeah, I was told by my gynecologist not to wear my unitard anymore. Well, you still do feel bad. Hey, I look so goddamn hot in that thing. I said, I fire the guy. Screw you. I look good in a unitard. Mr. Jennifer and Lake Warmers, by the way. Ever have an eating disorder?
43:22
Caller
No. Uh-uh.
43:24
Adam
No?
43:24
Caller
No.
43:25
Adam
All right. And is your mom bust your chops?
43:29
Caller
About what?
43:30
Adam
Life, anything?
43:32
Caller
No.
43:32
Drew
Are you on birth control pill?
43:34
Caller
I was, but I recently went off them. And well, that was actually another reason that I switched from ortho-cycline, ortho-tricycline was for, to help my bacteria infections. And as soon as I switched the pill, it cleared up.
43:51
Drew
But have you been off birth control in many years?
43:54
Caller
Yeah, not for many years, for about six months now. And it still hasn't changed or affected me being able to get wet.
44:00
Adam
Let me pick her brain for a second. Ballerina, sexually compulsive. I got to get to the bottom of this.
44:07
Caller
All right.
44:08
Adam
Really? I'm not judging, but I'm trying to work my files here so I can help humanity.
44:14
Drew
Trying to follow some paths.
44:15
Adam
No alcoholism, any alcoholism in the family?
44:18
Caller
Yeah. My father is a recovering alcoholic. But I don't see how that affects me getting wet.
44:25
Adam
No, no, no. Listen, for women, your brain is hooked up to the spigot. Yeah. If there's stuff going on, look.
44:33
Drew
And yet she arouses pretty normally and she seems gratified by sex. You know what I mean?
44:37
Adam
Yeah, but we've talked to many women about this. Anderson, you don't have a vagina anymore, do you? No.
44:45
Drew
Sown up.
44:46
Adam
But we've talked to many people about this, which is if they're aroused and if there's something going on emotionally, this can affect it.
44:57
Drew
Yeah. But usually arousal is interrupted and sure arousal is not interrupted. It's just this one element in arousal.
45:04
Adam
But let me ask you this, Drew.
45:05
Caller
Yeah.
45:06
Adam
What if your brain is a little freaked out and turned off, but your sort of mind and body is saying, push forward and almost overcompensating. I'm a very sexual person.
45:20
Drew
Yeah. I see what you mean.
45:20
Adam
I'm very sexual. It's like the guy who thinks he's a wuss so he becomes very aggressive.
45:27
Drew
Yeah.
45:28
Adam
She reiterated over and over what a sexual person she was.
45:32
Drew
Yes, she indeed is. She has orgasms really easily.
45:35
Adam
Right. But maybe somewhere in the dark recesses of her mind, she's not as sexual as she thinks.
45:42
Drew
So you're saying she is someone who orgasms easily, but maybe is not as sexual as she thinks.
45:46
Adam
I don't think, I know she's not or she would lubricate more.
45:49
Drew
Well, maybe it's something biological, but there may be some biological issue here.
45:53
Adam
Well, I'd say it could be a number of factors, but I think that might be one of them, Jennifer?
46:00
Caller
Yeah.
46:01
Drew
What do you think of Adam's theory?
46:03
Caller
I'm sorry? Well, I don't know if I agree with that.
46:07
Drew
Okay, good.
46:08
Caller
I think it's probably something biologically wrong with me, because I'm a pretty happy person and I have a great life. Yeah.
46:15
Drew
Listen, the parents in recovery are good. You can live a very happy life.
46:18
Adam
When did your dad get into recovery?
46:21
Caller
I'm sorry?
46:21
Adam
When did your dad get into recovery?
46:26
Caller
Right around the time I started having sex, actually.
46:28
Where's my bourbon?
46:30
Adam
You were like 14 or 15?
46:32
Caller
Yeah.
46:32
Drew
Was he an awful alcoholic when he was drinking?
46:34
Caller
Oh, no. I didn't live with him either.
46:37
Adam
Who did you live with?
46:39
Caller
My mother.
46:40
Adam
Is she kind of a perfectionist?
46:42
Caller
No, not at all, actually.
46:44
Drew
What?
46:45
Caller
Uh-uh.
46:46
Adam
Who got you into ballet?
46:48
Caller
She did.
46:49
Adam
Why?
46:50
Caller
I don't know.
46:51
Adam
All right.
46:51
Drew
People do that without being intrusive.
46:54
Adam
Does she? Your mom doesn't drink?
46:55
Drew
Believe it or not, Adam, there is a time.
46:56
Caller
Anyway, back to the point.
46:57
Adam
Now, listen, we don't know why you're not lubricating from a physiological standpoint.
47:03
Drew
Let's finish her up after the break.
47:05
Adam
No, we're done with her.
47:05
Drew
Well, I want to hear what other-
47:07
Adam
What are you going to say?
47:08
Drew
I want to hear what other theories people have proposed. I mean, there's something wrong with the glandular activity down there. Usually, I wonder about her level of estrogenization.
47:15
Adam
All right, we'll be back.
47:17
Hello, this is your radio. Love Line will be right back.
48:03
Adam
Hey, everybody, Loveline, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Adam Corolla, that's Dr. Drew. So, Drew, just tell that last call that wasn't lubricating medically what she can do.
48:14
Drew
I just worry that she is not cycling normally or perhaps has lower levels of estrogen or higher levels of progesterone than she should, so certainly somebody should evaluate her very carefully. Sometimes thyroid hormone can affect this, sometimes, boy, it's damaging.
48:31
Adam
What about these old infections she was getting?
48:33
Drew
I don't think that has anything to do with it. It's not like she'd be deficient of glandular material down there. I've never heard of that, though God knows it's every variation on anything when it comes to human body, but mostly I suspect it's the hormonal influence that part of her body is under. Okay. You're suspecting that the brain is influencing that, and certainly it can, but arousal is good, she's okay, dad's in recovery.
48:53
Adam
Arousal, a little hyper arousal, I'd say.
48:57
Drew
No, compensating self-concept in terms of her sexuality, but the arousal, she has orgasm really easily. That's true. So then she has to arouse to do that.
49:07
Adam
Well, go to the gynecologist, tell her you want a full workup. Yes? All right. Michelle?
49:16
Hello.
49:16
Adam
Oh, Michael?
49:17
Drew
Michelle.
49:18
Adam
Michelle, Michelle. What's your name?
49:21
Caller
My name is Michelle.
49:23
Drew
You're Le Francais.
49:29
Caller
All right, Adam. I have a question for you.
49:31
Adam
All right.
49:32
Caller
And then Dr. Drew is the one. Adam, I masturbate upside down in the bathroom with my toe and my dog's butt. Do you think anything is wrong with me?
49:43
Adam
Okay.
49:43
Caller
Now there's one for Dr. Drew.
49:45
Adam
All right. Well, wait a minute. Don't I get the answer?
49:50
Caller
Wow. Dr. Drew, nocturnal omission, is it true that those are just, it's just an overproduction of sperm that needs to be omitted?
50:05
Drew
Not an overproduction. It's just a normal production that God releases for you.
50:10
Adam
Yeah. You should be getting some of that out when you're inverted in the bathroom.
50:15
Caller
Oh, wow. You're all too much fun.
50:17
Adam
Good audience.
50:19
Caller
So, Dr. Drew, so for everybody in an explanation of nocturnal omissions, when you wake up with your pants full of pud, for guys.
50:29
Adam
Or for those of us who go to bed sober, our underpants.
50:32
Caller
Yeah.
50:33
Adam
I know. You got a pair of 501s filled with something. Still got your boots on when you wake up in the morning.
50:39
Caller
Oh my God.
50:40
Drew
Well, you've got a few cigarette burns in the sheets.
50:45
Adam
I'd like to get a little window into Michelle's life. First off, where did you get that name, Michelle?
50:53
Drew
Michelle.
50:55
Caller
Oh, it was a piece of micro-Michelle at birth.
50:59
Drew
This is a boy named Sue.
51:00
Adam
Right. The guy who wanted to toughen you up. I knew he wasn't going to be around and look after you.
51:06
Caller
I'm just bubbly and giggly now.
51:08
Adam
What do you do for a living? What do you do for a living?
51:12
Caller
Call you.
51:13
Drew
No, Michelle, what do you do for a living?
51:15
Caller
No, Dr. Drew's good now.
51:17
Adam
What do you do for a living?
51:19
Caller
What do I do?
51:20
Drew
Disability.
51:21
Adam
That's it. Hang up. I can only go four rounds on the what do you do. Then when I hear the, what do I do? And by the way, the what do I do came on the fourth, third or fourth attempt. Let me tell you about the switch I have in my brain, everybody. It goes from I'm incredibly interested to I give a rat's ass and just a heartbeat. I'll try Michelle one more time. Now oh yeah, rid of them. Good times.
51:48
Caller
Paul? Paul?
51:52
Drew
Paul 16th. He's sleeping.
51:54
Caller
He's been on a roll for an hour.
51:56
Caller
Paul?
52:00
Caller
Boring.
52:02
Drew
Did you hear something there?
52:03
Adam
Well, Drew, whenever, see here's what happens, let me tell you the phenomenon. We're trying to hear if someone's sleeping or not. Anderson pots the guy way up. You react and go, oh, I heard something. What you heard was Anderson potting the guy out.
52:16
Drew
Maybe.
52:18
Adam
That sort of ambient sound went from, it sounds like this. It goes from like sort of nothing to like, yeah, and you go, oh, maybe there's anything there. No, let's talk to Melanie.
52:35
Caller
Hi.
52:36
Adam
Hey, you're 22.
52:36
Caller
What's up?
52:38
Caller
My mom is paranoid schizophrenic caused by prolonged meth use. My question is, I have no idea how to help her. I live in California and she lives in Florida.
52:50
Drew
What do you mean by prolonged meth use? She continues to use methamphetamine?
52:55
Caller
She used it from the time she was 20 on up to, I think she stopped when she was about 50.
53:01
Drew
So 30 years. And now she's chronically psychotic. Yeah. Which is what speed does. It's really not a paranoid schizophrenia. That's a specific disease. She's got a thought disorder caused by the biological injury of the speed.
53:15
Caller
Okay, that's just what her neurologist mentioned to that.
53:18
Adam
Well, this is probably putting it in terms so we could all understand.
53:21
Drew
And the scary thing about the paranoia that is associated with speed, with the meth, is that the focus is always on important relationships. So they're paranoid that you or her neighbors or co-workers are thinking about them and plotting against them, as opposed to cocaine, where the focus is always on uniformed officers. Cocaine addicts are always looking out the window, seeing police, SWAT teams.
53:44
Okay, she did that.
53:45
Drew
She got, well, she's probably maybe doing some cocaine too.
53:48
Probably, yeah.
53:49
Drew
But the speed part is the focus on important people.
53:52
Caller
Okay.
53:53
Adam
Well, how did you make it out of there?
53:56
Caller
Um, you know, I don't have an answer for that, but I'm doing well.
54:00
Adam
Yeah, it sounds like it.
54:01
Caller
Yeah, I'm in college, my junior year of college. I'm in a great relationship and I've never done drugs or anything like that. I guess just because I watched her, you know, be that way and I would never want that for myself.
54:16
Adam
You know, you know what they call that? They call that being smart.
54:19
Drew
Learning from experience.
54:20
Adam
No, it's just being smart. Smart people study other people and go, yeah, that ain't for me. And then they see other people and they go, yeah, that's for me.
54:29
Caller
And they do it. Yeah, my sister followed in her footsteps and changed, but.
54:34
Adam
She's not so smart.
54:35
Caller
Yeah.
54:36
Adam
Oh yeah, Drew don't like to do that, but I just break the world into dumb and stupid and then smart and genius. Thank you. So you're doing all right. You want to know what to do with her?
54:47
Caller
Yeah, because her neighbor called me today. Yeah, and I'm so far away that I can't go check up on her.
54:54
Drew
What did the neighbor say?
54:56
Caller
I'm sorry?
54:56
Drew
What did the neighbor say?
54:58
Caller
She said that, you know, she was, my mother was hearing voices and that she was screaming out.
55:07
Adam
Is she off the speed?
55:09
Caller
She's definitely off the speed.
55:10
Drew
How do you know that?
55:12
Caller
She's so ill now that she can't even talk. I mean, she's had a heart attack three strokes in a year.
55:19
Adam
I really, I don't know how you do speed for more than a weekend. I don't know how you do it for 30 years. I really don't. It's the most, it's really a drug that just, it's so hard on you. And everyone around her or around you. So how long has she been sober?
55:39
Drew
She's not sober. She just can't manage using. She's so impaired.
55:43
Caller
Yeah, that's right. She didn't make a conscious effort.
55:46
Adam
Yeah.
55:47
Drew
She just can't do anything. But listen, is she not taking her medicine? Is that what's happening now?
55:50
Caller
Yeah, that's what the neighbor said.
55:53
Adam
Really, you got to, listen, I hate to say this, but you got to hire a drifter to kill her. No, she's too big a burden on the family.
55:59
Drew
She may need a conservatorship, Melanie. You may need to go for that.
56:02
Caller
Yeah, my stepdad is supposed to be doing that. No, no, no.
56:06
Adam
Yeah, nice. Give the drifter an extra 150. He'll take care of stepdad too. You'll get the house.
56:12
Drew
Go for conservatorship. She probably has to be placed somewhere where she's in a structured living environment, gets her medicines, and it's sort of contained. That's it. She's so injured now. I mean, her brain's damaged badly now. Strokes, speed, it's not good.
56:25
Adam
Well, if she'd taken my drifter advice ten years ago, she'd be over it emotionally by now. You know what I'm saying? I'm just putting the word out in case any of my family's listening decide to go on some kind of speedbender over the...
56:38
Drew
What if they decide to turn your good advice on you?
56:42
Adam
Hey, I pay... Well, first off, they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. I pay the bills. You know what I'm saying? I take care of business. Don't worry about me. Sarah?
56:53
Caller
Yes.
56:53
Adam
You're 21?
56:54
Caller
Yes.
56:55
Caller
What's up?
56:56
Caller
My question really pertains to my boyfriend.
57:00
Caller
I've been going out with him for a couple years, and he does occasional prescription drugs of Valium and Tramadol. More and more recently, he's been getting into ketamine. I'm kind of worried about him, not just because of the amount that he's using, but because he's a diabetic.
57:21
Adam
Well, we'll get a drifter to kill him. Hey, you want to go 30 years with this pain, or you want to just nip it in the bud?
57:29
Caller
Well, I'm just, I mean, I'm not really concerned about whether or not we're going to be together for 30 years. I'm just concerned about him now, and I don't.
57:38
Drew
Well, he's a drug addict, and he's diabetic, and addicts don't pay attention to the consequences of their drug use. In fact, that defines the disease. Continued use, progressive use, despite consequence.
57:49
Caller
Yeah, and it's just the thing, he's pre-med, you know, we're both in college.
57:52
Drew
Hey, listen, I treat tons of doctors or addicts.
57:54
Caller
Yeah, he kind of just thinks, you know, I research it enough, I know what I'm doing.
57:58
Drew
That's BS. Look, he's an addict. And you know, it's going to progress, it's going to get worse, and when he's ready to do something, he will.
58:04
Adam
Meanwhile, you can lay down some rules, like you're not going to be with him, but he's going to do this.
58:09
Drew
Right. Loss usually is the only thing that catches these people's attention.
58:12
Caller
Well, are there specific, like, side effects for diabetics? I mean, is it for our situation, then normal?
58:19
Drew
Well, it depends if he's brittle. Is he well controlled? Does he have any complications of his diabetes?
58:24
Caller
No complications. He's really well controlled, actually.
58:29
Drew
He's using ketamine and what else?
58:31
Caller
Ketamine, tramadol. He steals, like, ambient and valium from his mom.
58:37
Drew
He's going to make a hell of a doctor one day. Well, no, these are all not specifically that I can see extra dangerous. Tramadol? What the hell is that?
58:48
Adam
I've heard of that one.
58:50
Drew
Tramadol.
58:50
Adam
It's a painkiller? What is that tramadol?
58:54
Drew
Is it Ultram?
58:55
Caller
No, I'm pretty sure it's tramadol. It's a European painkiller. I don't think it's legal on the state.
59:01
Drew
Interesting. Well, I mean, this is, you know, presumably opiates that he's using, and this is profound addiction. Benzodiazepine is profoundly addictive. He's not, you know, he's going to have consequence. And I suggest you go to Al-Anon or some sort of codependency recovery program, and that will give the highest likelihood of helping him. Nothing else.
59:20
Adam
Don't throw out the drifter suggestion just yet. That's all I'm saying. Just keep that in your back pocket. Annabelle?
59:27
Drew
Hi.
59:28
Adam
Hey, you're 16. What's up?
59:29
Caller
Okay. I've been giving my boyfriend head, like, for the past month. That's like when I started doing it for him. And like every single time, almost, that I do it, like, afterwards I go to the bathroom, like I need the mouthwash and stuff, and I like throw up.
59:44
Adam
We gotta get Drifter to kill him.
59:47
Drew
Now wouldn't, let's be empathetic with this young lady. Wouldn't you throw up too, Adam?
59:51
Adam
Oh, me?
59:51
Caller
Yeah. What about it?
59:53
Adam
Would I?
59:53
Caller
Yeah.
59:55
Adam
I mean, hypothetically, sure. Yes, I would vomit if I got semen in my mouth.
1:00:00
Drew
Yeah, so, okay.
1:00:01
Caller
And like, I thought I'd be used to it by now because I'm doing it, like, a lot.
1:00:05
Adam
How many times do you think you've done it? God bless you, by the way.
1:00:08
Drew
Oh, my God.
1:00:09
Adam
You keep going back to the well, as it were.
1:00:11
Drew
Trooper.
1:00:12
Caller
I can't just be like, oh, no.
1:00:14
Drew
How many times?
1:00:15
Caller
In the past month.
1:00:16
Drew
Have you vomited?
1:00:17
Caller
Like, probably like 17.
1:00:20
Drew
Oh, my God. That's not good for you.
1:00:23
Adam
This has become a nice method of weight loss for you.
1:00:26
Drew
Does he understand you're vomiting? Well, you had bulimia?
1:00:30
Caller
Yeah.
1:00:31
Drew
Oh, boy. Is this part of that, do you think?
1:00:34
Caller
I don't know.
1:00:35
Caller
But, like, I didn't.
1:00:36
Adam
Wait a minute. Hold on. Let me talk to Drew. I was kidding, but I may have inadvertently stumbled on to something here, which is...
1:00:43
Drew
Well, bulimics will vomit more easily, and sort of, it can kind of blur, you know, what's bulimia, what's vomiting, a reaction to something physiologic. They'll start vomiting and all kinds of things, and they kind of go with it a little bit.
1:00:55
Adam
Well, look at it this way. We talk to drug addicts all the time, people that are hooked on painkillers. So, they're hooked, and so their back says, hey, I got some pain, feed me.
1:01:06
Drew
Feed me.
1:01:08
Adam
Feed me. And after a while, the line is so blurred, you don't know if you're actually having pain, and your brain is just creating pain, so it can be rewarded with some painkillers that it wants. Now, you got an eating disorder, and here you are, and we're both sitting here going, geez, you vomited 17 times last month.
1:01:25
Drew
You keep doing it?
1:01:26
Adam
You know, last month, you keep doing it. Initially, we want to send her out a windbreaker and trooper the year, but now it's, now it starts to unfurl a little bit, it starts to take a little different shape. So maybe there is something here, Annabelle.
1:01:45
Caller
I'm just disgusted by it every time.
1:01:47
Drew
We got that part, now we got that part.
1:01:49
Adam
Any excuse to vomit? Wow, what an incredible...
1:01:53
Caller
They counseled the hell out of me, so I stopped, and I don't like that anymore. And I was like, oh, that's so gross.
1:01:58
Drew
Who counseled you? What did you say, someone counseled you?
1:02:01
Caller
Well, like, you know, I had to go to, like, therapy, and like, everyone found out, and I was like, oh, great, you know.
1:02:06
Drew
From semen vomiting?
1:02:08
Adam
No, from making yourself vomit when she had her eating disorder.
1:02:12
Drew
So now you have a reason to vomit.
1:02:13
Adam
And meanwhile, what a great vicious cycle to be caught in as a boyfriend. Your penis becomes her enabler. That's crazy.
1:02:25
Caller
No, I won't.
1:02:26
Adam
Wow. How old is this guy?
1:02:28
Caller
Seventeen.
1:02:29
Adam
And are you guys having intercourse?
1:02:31
Caller
Never.
1:02:31
Adam
Just the oral sex?
1:02:33
Caller
Yeah, and that's like the only thing we ever do. You never do anything.
1:02:35
Adam
Well, right, you got to vomit. You're the only, you know, must be incredible for this guy because this guy's like, geez, she blew chow, like, on Tuesday, and now it's Wednesday, and she's dying to go down on me. Well, all right, so be it.
1:02:49
Caller
I'm never exactly done, too, but he's always like, come on, and I'm just like, okay, fine. I'm not going to be like, no, I don't feel like it.
1:02:56
Drew
Why don't you be like, hey, no, I've puked every time we do this. I can't do that anymore.
1:03:02
Caller
Because then he'll be like, oh, you're so stupid, and he'll get mad at me about it.
1:03:05
Drew
This is that, you're such a whore. This is that same reaction that you hear is something different.
1:03:10
Caller
I think you've been going out since, like, February, and, like, I only started doing this, like, a month ago.
1:03:14
Drew
Hey, but look, if he gives a good goddamn about you, he'll, like, have some sympathy for what you're going through.
1:03:19
Adam
When did you get your, when did you finish your bulimia counseling?
1:03:24
Caller
Um, well, I'm still having to go to, like, the school, well, not the school one anymore, but, like, I stopped in, like, January.
1:03:30
Adam
You're still in bulimia. It's just, instead of sticking your finger down your throat, you're sticking a penis down your throat.
1:03:35
Drew
That's right. That's right.
1:03:37
Adam
Hey, that's heavy. That's heavy, man.
1:03:40
Caller
But, like, wouldn't I still be doing it if I was that into it? Like, after the whole bulimia bout, it was like...
1:03:46
Adam
You're not done with the bulimia.
1:03:47
Drew
You're still bulimic.
1:03:48
Adam
You're using the guy's penis.
1:03:50
Caller
Even though I was, like, I stopped doing that, like, completely in, like, January?
1:03:54
Drew
No, you haven't stopped doing it. That's the point. You had 17 more relapses.
1:03:57
Adam
You stopped for a period, and now you're using this guy's an excuse.
1:04:02
Drew
Yeah.
1:04:03
Caller
But why would it only happen then?
1:04:05
Adam
First off, that's all you're doing, and you're doing a lot of it.
1:04:08
Caller
Yeah.
1:04:10
Drew
And the point is, if you just hated it, you probably wouldn't do it.
1:04:13
Adam
You'd just stop it. There'd be no second. Why do you think we were so confused as to why you kept doing it so much when you're vomiting each and every time? All right.
1:04:21
Drew
Hold on.
1:04:23
Adam
You don't want him to get mad.
1:04:25
Drew
Oh, please.
1:04:25
Adam
You're... Listen.
1:04:27
Caller
I can be serious about it.
1:04:28
Drew
Well, then...
1:04:29
Adam
Well, hold on. Let's talk about that for a second. But when you guys go to movies...
1:04:34
Caller
Sometimes.
1:04:34
Adam
Do you only go to the movies he wants to see?
1:04:38
Caller
Sorta.
1:04:38
Caller
Because he pays for it.
1:04:40
Adam
So every time... What was the last three movies you guys went to?
1:04:44
Caller
The Fast and the Furious.
1:04:45
Adam
Well, that's his. Yeah.
1:04:47
Caller
Tomb Raider.
1:04:47
Drew
Oh, it's his too.
1:04:48
Caller
It's his too. Pearl Harbor.
1:04:53
Drew
Oh, what's the matter with you? You can't speak up for yourself. That's the real problem here. What is with your self-esteem that is that poor?
1:05:01
Adam
And you have an older sister. Not that much older.
1:05:05
Caller
I have a twin sister and an older sister.
1:05:06
Adam
Sweet. Yeah, what is up, baby?
1:05:09
Caller
What do you mean?
1:05:11
Adam
You're scared? This 16-year-old guy is running, you're ragged, you got an eating disorder. What's going on?
1:05:17
Caller
Well, I don't have an eating disorder anymore.
1:05:19
Adam
Oh, yes.
1:05:19
Drew
Well, first of all, people, those don't remit. They're chronic conditions that sort of get better and come back, and yours is active right now.
1:05:26
Adam
Hey, Anna, you know you're going to therapy for the old eating disorder that you don't have anymore, except if you still vomit all the time? Yeah. I think you need to bring up all this power stuff and all this.
1:05:37
Drew
And that you can't assert yourself.
1:05:39
Adam
That's going to get mad at me if I don't blow him. Right.
1:05:41
Drew
You need some assertiveness.
1:05:43
Adam
Put that on a card, Anderson. That'll be good.
1:05:45
Drew
Yeah, some assertive skills.
1:05:48
Adam
No, good. Drew was talking.
1:05:49
Drew
No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't.
1:05:51
Adam
No, you were talking, so it's no good. Lisa?
1:05:55
Drew
Hello.
1:05:55
Adam
You're 18? What's up?
1:05:57
Drew
I was not. No, he's got it. He's got it.
1:06:00
Adam
He's got it means shut up. Lisa?
1:06:03
Caller
Yes.
1:06:04
Adam
I like you already.
1:06:06
Caller
What's going on?
1:06:07
Caller
Hi.
1:06:09
Caller
I've got a problem with like, I don't know, guys, but I just got out of a two-year relationship, and he was really, really controlling. And I don't know.
1:06:21
Caller
It's just like I met this other guy, and he treats me so well, I just like, I'm not used to it.
1:06:28
Caller
And so, I like, I don't know, I'm like...
1:06:31
Drew
So what you do is you take the really nice guy, and you start moving over in that direction to prove to the guy who's treating you badly that you will leave if he doesn't treat you better. Except the guy that's nice is too boring, and you won't actually go with him. You go back to the guy that treats you like crap, and he'll keep treating you like crap.
1:06:48
Caller
Yeah.
1:06:49
Caller
Well, it sounds out that I was seeing this other guy.
1:06:52
Adam
Oh, magical.
1:06:53
Drew
Magically. Magically, he found out.
1:06:55
Caller
And he was like, well, is he better than me and all this?
1:07:00
Caller
And it was like, I didn't know what to say.
1:07:03
Caller
And he was better, and I haven't stopped seeing him. It's just not the problem. The guy I was with for two years isn't the problem. It's the fact that he treated me really bad, and now I'm with someone that treats me really good, and I can't get over that.
1:07:17
Drew
Can't get over what?
1:07:18
Caller
The way he treats me. It's like...
1:07:20
Adam
The good guy?
1:07:21
Caller
Yeah, I'm like number one.
1:07:24
Caller
I'm always before him.
1:07:27
Adam
And... Listen. I drove crappy cars, I lived in crappy apartments, and ate crappy food. Now I drive nice cars. Now I still eat crappy food. I live in a nice house. It's easy. Easy to get over. One was bad, the other's good.
1:07:41
Caller
Yeah, but when you cycle for two years, it's really hard.
1:07:45
Drew
No, it's not. You need the abuse is the problem.
1:07:48
Adam
You got some serious issues.
1:07:49
Drew
You're going to sabotage the good relationship because you can't stand the intimacy.
1:07:56
Adam
Why is it so hard to deal with a guy who puts you first? Because my dad beat me when I was little.
1:08:02
Drew
He what?
1:08:02
Caller
My dad beat me when I was little.
1:08:04
Adam
There you go.
1:08:05
Drew
Thank you. Thank you for not making us dig for that.
1:08:07
Adam
Thank you. And thank you dad for beating you. How about a little therapy then?
1:08:12
Caller
I've been through therapy.
1:08:13
Adam
Well, not through it. I think it's an ongoing thing, especially when your dad beat you.
1:08:17
Drew
And especially since you are unable to tolerate being in a real relationship. You can't tolerate it. You can't tolerate tenderness.
1:08:24
Caller
I'm asking what can I do to keep this other guy? I mean, what can I, I mean, because I'm always wanting to be with him. I'm always calling him and it like gets on his nerves.
1:08:33
Caller
And he said I was smothering him and...
1:08:36
Drew
Which guy are you smothering?
1:08:37
Caller
The good guy.
1:08:39
Adam
You're smothering the good guy.
1:08:41
Caller
Because I'm always wanting to be with him always.
1:08:45
Adam
Interesting. Now, both Drew and I have that un-puzzled look on our face. Smothering him. And he's a real good guy.
1:08:54
Caller
Yeah, I mean...
1:08:55
Adam
Real good guys, the kind of good guy that Drew and I are thinking about aren't worried about being smothered.
1:09:00
Drew
Right. They don't say that.
1:09:00
Adam
They like being smothered.
1:09:02
Drew
Right.
1:09:02
Adam
They're like a hot dog just waiting for something to be dumped on.
1:09:04
Drew
Right. While the not so good guys start pushing you away.
1:09:08
Adam
How good a guy is this so-called good guy?
1:09:11
Caller
He is like, because I have like a low self-esteem.
1:09:14
Drew
No kidding. Thanks. No, but that's what we're talking about here, Liz. That's what needs to be changed. And by the way, if you were through therapy, there would not be such low self-esteem.
1:09:26
Adam
You'd have a medium low self-esteem like we have after years of therapy. Low medium. Okay.
1:09:34
Drew
We're aware of it.
1:09:35
Adam
What about this good guy? How old is he?
1:09:37
Caller
He's 24.
1:09:39
Caller
Oh, my ex is 23.
1:09:42
Adam
What's the 24-year-old guy do?
1:09:44
Caller
He works for American Airlines.
1:09:46
Adam
Yeah. Doing what?
1:09:48
Caller
He works on their computers. Okay.
1:09:51
Adam
All right. And can you control yourself then? You know what you're doing?
1:09:56
Drew
Yeah.
1:09:56
Caller
I think it's like a main like, like a fact, infatuation, but I don't know how to get over it.
1:10:01
Drew
You don't need to get over it.
1:10:02
Adam
Hold on a second.
1:10:04
Drew
You don't need to get over it.
1:10:06
Adam
She is the subtle riddler.
1:10:08
Drew
Yeah, yeah.
1:10:09
Adam
Because she's talking about one guy clearly, but the term she uses and the word she chooses would imply that she's talking about the old guy. You know, it's an infatuation. I don't know how to get over. It seems like she's going to call and say, here's what we're prepared for, Drew. And you and I are on the same page here. She's calling and saying like, I was with this old guy. I was really abusive. I broke things off. I found a really great guy. And I don't know what to do with this. I keep thinking about him. I can't get away from him. I'm infatuated with him.
1:10:40
Drew
The new guy.
1:10:41
Adam
We keep thinking though she's talking about the old guy. That's what the energy feels like.
1:10:45
Drew
But you know what's going to happen is, it's going to be, I got to stop this. And then magically what she does, just drift back to the old guy. So this is really still about the old guy.
1:10:52
Adam
Well, yes. Stay with this new guy.
1:10:56
Drew
Go ahead and smother him.
1:10:57
Adam
Go ahead and smother him. Try to control yourself and get back into therapy.
1:11:03
Drew
Okay.
1:11:04
Adam
All right. Listen, fine. Or don't. Listen, I don't care. I go home at 12. That's it. And you guys who think I think about you.
1:11:13
Drew
Okay, Adam.
1:11:14
Adam
Okay. You folks who think I'm haunted by you when I get home. Are you kidding? I turn that TV on and put my feet up. I don't even know what job I have anymore. I am like an animal that way. I turn on the TV, I think I'm actually in whatever show I'm watching. Do you understand that?
1:11:35
Drew
But let's talk about advice in general. If advice were really easy, you'd be doing it. If it's a path of least resistance, you'd already be doing it. Whatever advice we're going to give you, probably you're going to resist and not want to hear. Otherwise you'd already be doing it.
1:11:49
Adam
Okay. Back to therapy. We'll be back.
1:12:20
Caller
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, this is Fatboy Slim.
1:12:23
Adam
You're listening to Loveline with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Let's pop back on those phones. Let's attack those phones, Drew. See if we can help some more people.
1:12:46
Caller
Hmm?
1:12:47
Adam
What do you say there, buddy? Here we go now. Let's go now.
1:12:50
Caller
Let's go.
1:12:50
Adam
Becky?
1:12:51
Caller
Yes?
1:12:52
Adam
21, let's go now.
1:12:53
Caller
All right.
1:12:54
Caller
All right.
1:12:55
Caller
I just want to say that I totally love you guys, and I know everybody always says that, but I just want to say it.
1:12:59
Adam
All right, Becky.
1:12:59
Caller
Okay.
1:13:00
Caller
Whatever.
1:13:01
Caller
Whatever.
1:13:02
Caller
So, okay.
1:13:04
Caller
So I have this friend, I met him about four months ago, and since we've known each other, we've been totally inseparable. We see each other like every single day. If we don't see each other, we talk to each other on the phone. All of my friends say, why aren't you guys together? All of his friends say, why aren't you guys together? One night we were at a party and we were totally drunk, so they strategically placed us on a futon together when everybody went to bed to see if anything would happen. And yeah, stuff did.
1:13:29
Drew
It's like mixing a couple of chemicals together.
1:13:31
Adam
Right.
1:13:32
Caller
Whatever.
1:13:32
Drew
And they put you together in the Petri dish, yes. And?
1:13:35
Caller
Pretty much.
1:13:35
Adam
What happened?
1:13:36
Caller
We just kind of hooked up a little bit. We didn't like go all the way or anything, but we just kind of messed around and stuff. And then after it turned out he was so drunk that he didn't remember or he says he doesn't remember. But I had to explain it to him the next day. I'm all, yeah, last night stuff happened. And he's like, what are you talking about? I'm all, stuff happened between me and you. And he's like, oh. He's like, well, I'm not going to have that mess up, you know, mess us up because we hooked up at a party or whatever. And so ever since then, we've still been cool and everything, hanging out every day. We tell each other like everything.
1:14:12
Drew
Becky, Becky, you are into this guy in a big way.
1:14:16
Caller
So much so you don't even know.
1:14:17
Drew
Yeah, and you better tell him that.
1:14:19
Caller
Well, he knows.
1:14:20
Drew
No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. So you told him? Yeah, I love you. You're my best friend.
1:14:26
Caller
I told him, like, the first two weeks that we knew each other, we would drive around for like hours and hours and talk about everything. And finally I just said, you know what? I'm not going to say his name because just in case he's listening.
1:14:37
Caller
I was like, you know what?
1:14:39
Caller
I like you and I've been pretty obvious about it. And he goes, well, I totally love to date you and all that kind of stuff, but I don't want to complicate our friendship right now.
1:14:46
Drew
And that's it. The case closed.
1:14:48
Caller
That was a long time ago.
1:14:50
Drew
Yeah, well, he managed to keep it back into the friend category and you accepted that and that's where he wants to keep it.
1:14:59
Caller
But that was like three and a half months ago.
1:15:00
Adam
You're overweight.
1:15:02
Drew
That is more evidence of how entrenched in Friendville you are.
1:15:06
Caller
OK, but then listen, I stayed the night at his house and we sleep in the same bed.
1:15:11
Adam
And he let you blow him.
1:15:13
Caller
I know, but that is not what happened.
1:15:15
Adam
Yes, you gave him a BJ. BJ.
1:15:18
Caller
OK, listen, Saturday night, this last Saturday, I stayed the night and stuff ended up happening and we still haven't talked about it. And then the next night, we always go to the movies on Sunday nights. And the next night, he brought another girl, this other girl that's like my competition or whatever.
1:15:35
Adam
Your competition.
1:15:37
Caller
All right.
1:15:38
Adam
Well, you've proven your point.
1:15:39
Caller
What's it for all?
1:15:40
Drew
Becky, Becky.
1:15:41
Adam
Are you a pre-law? What are you studying for?
1:15:45
Caller
Communication.
1:15:45
Adam
Oh, your honor, my client is, he's guilty. Let's eat. You did give him some oral sex on Saturday though.
1:15:56
Caller
Yeah.
1:15:57
Adam
Then on Sunday, he brought your arch nemesis.
1:16:00
Drew
That's a loud message to you.
1:16:01
Adam
Oh, man.
1:16:03
Caller
See, now my problem, and I'm wondering if there's something that I'm doing. Like am I putting out like a friend?
1:16:10
Drew
No, Becky, no.
1:16:11
Caller
Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, we feel so bad for you.
1:16:24
Adam
He is not interested in you that way.
1:16:27
Drew
You can't make him go to that place.
1:16:30
Adam
He's never been interested in you that way.
1:16:32
Caller
But he says stuff all the time.
1:16:35
Caller
No, no, Becky.
1:16:37
Adam
He says stuff because you bring stuff up.
1:16:39
Caller
No, no, no, we were having a conversation the other night.
1:16:41
Adam
Becky, Becky, Becky, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Becky, Becky, Becky.
1:16:45
Drew
Yes. Becky, Becky, Becky.
1:16:46
Adam
Becky, Becky, Becky. He ain't interested, screw Becky. Screwball.
1:16:50
Caller
I'm not a screwball.
1:16:52
Adam
Yes. You're thick.
1:16:54
Drew
No, no. She's not thick. Yeah.
1:16:56
Adam
I agree. She's in love and she will not accept the truth. Yes. Which is this guy ain't interested.
1:17:02
Drew
Explain, Becky, listen to Adam for a second. How would a guy behave if he were into this?
1:17:07
Adam
He would have been on it. You know the two weeks? First off, you would have never got to the point where you had the discussion where you liked him. Because he would have been on you immediately.
1:17:16
Drew
What does it mean, the guy?
1:17:17
Caller
He's never really had a girlfriend.
1:17:19
Drew
Hold on. Well, I've been wondering if he's gay. That's one of the things running through my mind. That's a possible explanation.
1:17:25
Caller
No.
1:17:27
Adam
He's a nice guy. He likes a BJ. And he likes Becky, but he's not attracted to Becky.
1:17:33
Drew
Right.
1:17:33
Adam
He thinks Becky's a great person. It's not really. He's just not attracted to you.
1:17:37
Caller
Well, then why does stuff keep happening?
1:17:39
Adam
Because you come over and offer to blow him.
1:17:41
Caller
I did not offer.
1:17:42
Drew
Well, you make yourself available.
1:17:46
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. Becky, you know what the truth is. Don't argue with us.
1:17:50
Drew
You're wasting your time with me.
1:17:51
Adam
If you thought for a second he really liked you, you'd be working on that. You wouldn't be trying to convince us so we can make you feel better about something that you know is the truth.
1:17:59
Drew
If the guy was really into her and he was sleeping in the same bed with her, think about that.
1:18:04
Adam
Here's the way it would have worked. Forget about meeting up the next night for a movie. You could have had sex all Saturday night. It would have made you a nice big fat omelet the next morning and then you guys would have ridden around on bicycles with baskets on the front. Well, the fifth dimension played in the background.
1:18:27
Drew
What would the bubble be over his head?
1:18:29
Adam
He would have just loved, you know, Penny for Your Thoughts, all that stuff. He's not into her. Screw Becky. He's not into her. Sorry. Becky, stop wasting your time.
1:18:40
Drew
I know. I'm so sorry for her.
1:18:43
Adam
I do. And here's the sad part. All you girls and all you guys, especially you girls, what am I doing wrong? I mean, he seemed to, what am I doing wrong? I say to him and he says he wants this kind of person and I tell him I'm that kind of person and we totally click and he doesn't like this other guy but he says he doesn't like this other kind but yet he's always with him. What am I doing wrong? I think I'm scaring him away. You know what I'm doing? I'm coming on too strong. He's not, he's getting a mixed message from him. No, no, no, no. If he's interested he's saying, look, everybody, guys, let me explain guys. Guys send away for wives to other countries. Forget about clicking. What are you doing wrong? Guy open a magazine, see a chick, point at the chick and happily be with her. Forget about what you're doing to steer them away, especially a 22, 23 year old guy.
1:19:35
Drew
Whatever that it is has to be there.
1:19:37
Adam
And he ain't into it. Anna?
1:19:40
Caller
This is me.
1:19:41
Adam
22, what's up?
1:19:43
Caller
Well, I haven't had sex in almost three years.
1:19:46
Adam
Wow.
1:19:47
Caller
I don't masturbate.
1:19:49
Adam
Nice.
1:19:49
Caller
I want so badly to just wake up and be married and have that all done with. But it just seems so hard to like meet guys and date.
1:19:59
Adam
What is up?
1:20:01
Caller
I don't know. I've looked everywhere. I've looked, done the whole bar thing. I've done the whole church thing. I've done, looked at work. Just doesn't seem to be anybody. I haven't met guys at the grocery store.
1:20:13
Drew
Have you had a boyfriend?
1:20:15
Caller
No, I haven't for three years.
1:20:16
Drew
How come? I don't know.
1:20:18
Adam
I haven't done that whole thing.
1:20:19
Drew
What happened with the last one?
1:20:21
Caller
Actually, I have two kids.
1:20:23
Drew
Oh, here we go.
1:20:24
Caller
Oh, yeah.
1:20:25
Drew
Here we go.
1:20:26
Caller
And my daughter's dad is the last person that I was with.
1:20:29
Drew
Yeah, so these guys have been real assholes, assheads to you.
1:20:33
Caller
Yeah.
1:20:34
Drew
Yeah, so that's why it's not working out. You're scared to death this is all going to happen again.
1:20:39
Caller
Is that what it is? That I'm going to get pregnant?
1:20:41
Drew
Well, you're going to get, some idiot's going to, yeah, somebody's going to abandon you again, which is probably the kind of guy you're attracted to.
1:20:47
Adam
Same dad?
1:20:49
Drew
Both kids?
1:20:50
Adam
No.
1:20:50
Caller
No. My son's dad's married and he still sees him, and we get along, and my dad's daughter's got his head so far up his ass he can't see the light of day. So we don't talk to him.
1:21:02
Adam
Your daughter's dad, right?
1:21:03
Drew
But it's interesting, twist on words there.
1:21:06
Adam
Two different guys, huh?
1:21:08
Caller
Yeah.
1:21:08
Drew
Is the second one sort of like your dad?
1:21:11
Caller
No, my dad actually, I didn't really like my dad as I was growing up, but my parents were married, everything was normal. And now I realize that's who I want, I want somebody that's exactly like my dad, because my dad was so loving to my mom.
1:21:27
Adam
Why didn't you like your dad?
1:21:29
Caller
Uh, I don't know.
1:21:31
Drew
He had his head kind of up his ass too?
1:21:33
Caller
He was grumpy, yeah, he was grumpy.
1:21:36
Adam
Yeah, what a great guy. Really? I mean, just because he didn't divorce your mom didn't beat her, didn't mean he was a great guy.
1:21:44
Caller
Oh, my dad, oh no. I think my mom controlled the relationship a little bit, but my dad would do anything for my mom.
1:21:51
Adam
Yeah, but not for you.
1:21:53
Caller
Um, probably not at this point.
1:21:56
Drew
Well, you just said he had his head up his ass.
1:21:57
Adam
I mean, growing up, screwball.
1:22:00
Caller
Yeah, he would do it, yeah.
1:22:01
Adam
All right, well, you said, I don't know, for a guy who's loved your mom very much and would do anything for you, you don't sound very appreciative.
1:22:08
Drew
Yeah, you said he had his head up his ass.
1:22:10
Caller
No, my daughter's dad.
1:22:12
Drew
Ah, okay.
1:22:13
Adam
Yeah, you didn't sound like you were too nuts about your dad either, though.
1:22:18
Caller
I love him. He lives far away, though, now.
1:22:21
Adam
Okay, thanks. Hey, let me ask you a question. Let me talk to Drew for a second. Has there been some sort of experimental military program where they've taught animals to talk that I'm not aware of?
1:22:36
Drew
As Joe Rogan said.
1:22:37
Caller
Is that what's going on out there?
1:22:38
Drew
When Joe Rogan was up here, he said something I thought was very astute. He goes, hey, we're just monkeys who talk. That's it. Monkeys who talk.
1:22:46
Adam
He should talk about monkeys who talk.
1:22:48
Drew
That's right. That's pretty astute.
1:22:50
Adam
But listen, I mean, I'm picturing some sort of military experiment that went awry, where the animals got over the fence, and now they're calling the show in.
1:22:58
Drew
Yeah, I think that, yeah.
1:23:00
Adam
You like your dad? Yes. He lives far away. Yeah, but growing up, what can I get to... Well, not now. Now, really about her dad, she's told me that he was a good guy, that he loved her mother very much, and he was a little bit grumpy, and she wasn't crazy about it. But then as soon as I questioned that, it immediately got into the present tense, where he lived far away. I'm going to try this one more time, but oh my god, more Anna over here. Anna?
1:23:33
Caller
I'm here.
1:23:34
Adam
Please, be...
1:23:37
Caller
Forthcoming.
1:23:37
Adam
Be more forthcoming. Your dad growing up, he was a good dad to you?
1:23:44
Caller
He was. I just didn't realize it.
1:23:46
Adam
Okay.
1:23:48
Drew
Now wait a minute. There's no such thing as that.
1:23:50
Adam
No. I mean, judging by the guys you hooked up, he was a saint. The guys who fathered your kids.
1:23:58
Caller
Right. Right.
1:23:59
Adam
But growing up, you weren't that fond of your dad, right?
1:24:02
Caller
No. I was rebellious and I hated him then.
1:24:06
Caller
Why?
1:24:08
Caller
I don't know.
1:24:09
Caller
Okay.
1:24:09
Drew
Well, there's something very, very serious there. And that's where all this energy is being funneled into your peers.
1:24:15
Adam
When you get to the answer of why you hated your dad for no reason growing up, it's going to help you meet a guy in your current adult state.
1:24:23
Drew
There's not no reason for hatred, okay? Okay.
1:24:26
Adam
I mean, you can be rebellious and a kid can be rebellious, but hating...
1:24:29
Drew
And be angry.
1:24:30
Adam
Hating your dad for no reason is kind of weird. And I bet that has to do with why you can't meet a guy now or at least the right guy.
1:24:39
Caller
And what about the masturbation? Why don't I do that?
1:24:43
Adam
I have no idea, Anna, but there's more issues than meets the ear with you.
1:24:48
Caller
Yeah.
1:24:48
Adam
I would assume, right?
1:24:50
Caller
Yeah.
1:24:50
Adam
And so I think it's time on behalf of your children, because you don't want to pull a number on your kids. You don't want to screw them up like your parents did to you, right?
1:25:00
Caller
Yeah.
1:25:01
Adam
How about a little therapy, a little soul-searching, reading a few books, keep paying attention. You know what I mean? I hate to say it. Watch Oprah a little bit. When that big bald Texan guy gets on there and starts talking about what's going wrong, listen to him, listen to this show. Pick up some knowledge.
1:25:19
Drew
Dad may have done a little something.
1:25:22
Adam
You think your dad may have molested you and you didn't know it?
1:25:26
Caller
No. Actually, I've never been molested.
1:25:28
Drew
But no. That's a strange way to answer that question, wasn't it?
1:25:32
Adam
Yeah. Anna, you have a weird suspicious way of answering almost every question. Did he hit you?
1:25:40
Caller
When I was older, like 14 and 15.
1:25:43
Drew
That's pretty serious right there. And we wonder if he did something else touch you or was inappropriate with you in some way, maybe when you were younger, too, that sort of created that distrust and the powerlessness.
1:25:52
Caller
I don't think it was sexual, but I guess when I was a kid he spanked us with a belt, too.
1:25:57
Drew
That's physical abuse, okay?
1:26:00
Caller
Yeah.
1:26:00
Drew
All right. So you get very minimum physical abuse, very minimum. And by the way, that's the kind of guy that perpetrates physical abuse on young girls. Think about striking your kids with a belt for a second, Anna.
1:26:11
Adam
No, not unless they were asking for it. And everyone's asking for it. That's the way I look at it, even if they're not actually asking for it. We'll take a break.
1:26:19
Caller
We'll be back. Oh, God!
1:26:22
Loveline, we'll be right back. Call on the 1-800-LOVE-191.
1:26:58
Adam
Hey, everybody.
1:27:00
Caller
Whoo-wee!
1:27:01
Caller
Hoo-la-la, hoo-la-la.
1:27:03
Caller
Hiccaboo!
1:27:04
Caller
Hiccaboo! Hiccaboo!
1:27:06
Adam
All right, here we go. Let's rock here, Drew. Chrissy?
1:27:11
Caller
Yes?
1:27:11
Adam
19.
1:27:12
Caller
Uh-huh.
1:27:13
Adam
You're a virgin?
1:27:14
Caller
Yes.
1:27:15
Adam
It's difficult to stay that way in college.
1:27:18
Caller
Oh, yeah.
1:27:19
Caller
I've been it like two years now, going on 20 next month, and it just seems like it's getting harder and harder.
1:27:24
Adam
What's up with your phone?
1:27:27
Caller
Oh, it's a cell phone.
1:27:29
Adam
You have a land phone you can get on?
1:27:31
Drew
Well, she'll have to hang up to do that. What's she gonna do?
1:27:33
Adam
I don't know. I wouldn't mind if she hung up. I'm looking for excuses. Okay, look. Are you a religious person?
1:27:41
Caller
No, actually. That's not it at all.
1:27:43
Caller
I don't know. I think it's just been the wrong guy, and now, like, I've, um...
1:27:48
Adam
Well, the goddamn phone line's driving me nuts. Look, you're a virgin. You're fine. Stay with it. God bless.
1:27:53
Drew
Godspeed. Good times.
1:27:55
Adam
Good times. Good times. Frank?
1:27:58
Uh, yeah.
1:27:59
Adam
You're 18?
1:27:59
Caller
How you doing?
1:28:00
Adam
Good.
1:28:01
Caller
Um, Dr. Drew, you're cool. Um, Adam?
1:28:03
Adam
Thank you. Thank you, buddy. What's up?
1:28:05
Caller
I just had a problem, like, with my girlfriend. Uh, we've been going out for, like, nine months now, and, like, her whole family situation's, like, really bad. She suffered from, like, depression and everything like that. And it's like, um, the other day, I noticed, like, all these cuts on her wrist, and it's just, you know, it's getting worse and worse and worse.
1:28:22
Drew
She would cut her.
1:28:23
Caller
And she's just telling me, like, you know, like, she doesn't even feel any more. She's just, like, numb.
1:28:28
Drew
Well, alright, what's the question? She's got a very, very serious problem.
1:28:31
Caller
Yeah, like, what do I, you know, what do I do is, like, I talk to her, and, like, um...
1:28:35
Drew
Make sure the people that take care of her see her regularly.
1:28:38
Caller
Yeah, but that's the problem. Like, um, her family, like, her parents have, like, totally cut her off from, like, um, like, kind of, like, everybody outside. Like, they won't let me see her. They won't let my friends see her. Like, it's, her mom's, like, Filipino, and she's, like, kind of, like, immigrant. And so she's, like, she's not real. She's nuts. I mean, she's just, like, nuts.
1:28:58
Adam
Is she getting no help?
1:28:59
Caller
She's getting none. I mean, like...
1:29:01
Adam
Okay. Can you tell, can you tell the counselor at school?
1:29:04
Caller
I, I, we did. And, like, she doesn't want to go because, like, what we did, and she was going. And, um, like, what happened was, they couldn't do anything for her. Like, the family counseling, it wasn't helping. Like, she, like, she didn't get anywhere.
1:29:16
Adam
Can you, can you have a talk with her mom?
1:29:18
Caller
Me?
1:29:19
Adam
Me? No, I'm going to go over there and talk to her.
1:29:21
Caller
Yeah, no, I mean, like, like, no way.
1:29:24
Adam
No.
1:29:25
Caller
Her mom's like, it's just, I mean, her dad's like the biggest puss. And, like, they're not going to do anything for her. And, I mean, all this stuff is like, it's like a cry for help, you know?
1:29:34
Adam
Yeah, look, it sounds like you two ought to break up and just worry about her health.
1:29:38
Caller
Yeah, no, well, I'm, I'm totally, like, I'm just concerned for her, like, I really, I really care for her and I love her.
1:29:44
Adam
It's tough because, uh, you can't infiltrate that family circle and it's a, it's a mess. I, I don't know, I mean, she's underage, she's 17, maybe ought to call Child Protective Services. She's, she's, you know, essentially suicidal and they're seeking no help for her.
1:30:02
Drew
She has no caretakers? Is that what he said?
1:30:05
Adam
He was saying, Frank?
1:30:06
Caller
Yeah, she has, like, like, mom and dad, everything like that, right?
1:30:09
Drew
But no, but no psychiatric care?
1:30:11
Caller
Yeah, nothing.
1:30:12
Drew
Well, then you got, you got to alert the local authorities. If you see her cutting herself, you got to tell someone. That's it. Somebody's got to intervene on her behalf.
1:30:20
Adam
I would really go talk to the school counselors one more time, explain the situation.
1:30:24
Drew
Yeah, if you can get the school people involved, yeah, sure.
1:30:26
Adam
Let them, you know.
1:30:27
Drew
Handle it.
1:30:28
Adam
Right.
1:30:28
Drew
Yeah, that's not your job.
1:30:30
Adam
Scott? Scott?
1:30:31
Yeah, I'm here.
1:30:32
Adam
You're 33. What's up?
1:30:33
Caller
Yeah, what's up?
1:30:33
Adam
What's up?
1:30:34
Caller
I just have a trouble with my girlfriend trying to beat me up.
1:30:37
Drew
Yeah?
1:30:38
Caller
I want to take a little out of the room, okay?
1:30:39
Drew
All right. Take your lift, him.
1:30:42
Adam
I like to kick Scott's ass. Talking for 12 seconds, I want to go in there and smack him once. Scott, what's up with your girlfriend?
1:30:52
Caller
We have trouble. She likes to, we get into arguments and she likes to say she takes it out, she likes to beat me up.
1:30:56
Adam
Why don't you break up with her?
1:30:58
Caller
Right.
1:30:58
Caller
Well, you know what? That's the guy at the upper that told me the same thing.
1:31:01
Caller
Right.
1:31:01
Caller
I love her.
1:31:02
Adam
He's a genius.
1:31:02
Drew
But I love her.
1:31:03
Caller
I do.
1:31:04
Adam
What's her nationality?
1:31:06
Caller
She's Italian.
1:31:07
Adam
Yeah, they're feisty.
1:31:08
Caller
Yeah, they are.
1:31:09
Adam
They're hot.
1:31:10
Caller
That's right.
1:31:12
Adam
They got fire in their blood.
1:31:13
Drew
They have good sex. That's right.
1:31:15
Adam
Scott, I bet, you know what, though? I bet when things start escalating, you're playing along, too.
1:31:21
Drew
Oh, sure.
1:31:21
Adam
You've got to defuse the situation. Do you understand?
1:31:24
Caller
You know, I hear you. I understand. I go into another room, lock myself, get away from her.
1:31:28
Drew
Yeah?
1:31:29
Adam
Yeah, that's after things are going already. Don't let them get escalating.
1:31:33
Drew
A lot of people, though, they're so used to being in aggressive family systems that they just express themselves that way.
1:31:39
Adam
Scott, if you really would like this to go away, here's what you have to do. The next time this happens, you say, look, that's it. You put her on hold.
1:31:48
Drew
Yeah.
1:31:49
Adam
You tell her, this ever happens again, that's it. You got to be prepared to walk.
1:31:52
Drew
Yeah.
1:31:52
Adam
That's the only way you can clear. Any, look, anytime somebody is doing some behavior that's reprehensible, or that doesn't work for you, you have to first be prepared to go.

You know what it's like? It's like when you go in and ask for a raise, or you tell your boss, or whoever, look, this is what I need, this is the position I need, this is the title I need. Before you walk into that office, make sure you got in your head, you're ready to walk. If this person, line up your ducks, emotionally, financially, whatever it is, be ready to walk if this person does not comply. We'll be back. Well, there you go. Another fantabulous episode of Loveline, safely in the earth. I want to thank everyone who made this show possible. I'll name them by name on Thursday. I want to have more time and more energy. So until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying, Mahalo.

Okay, I understand the routine now. All right, and our jobs, Jack, interested not only them, but our show. All right? Unless their publicist is listening, in which case they will not be. So until next time, is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew? Well, I think producer Anne too, who's not here, out of sight, out of mind. She did a great job all week. So until next time, Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew, saying mahalo.
