Loveline is meant for an adult audience. Loveline may contain sexually-oriented content. Listener discretion is advised.

Adam Corolla, Dr. Drew.
1:06
Voiceover
I'm not modeling anymore for the two of you.
1:08
Voiceover
Loveline.
1:10
Adam
Yep, slight correction before we get started here. Dr. Bruce, who you all know and love. I was gonna say love, but then the word indifferent popped into my mind, but all right, you all know and love it. Dr. Bruce is also board certified. He's an addiction medicine specialist. He's also a specialist in emergency medicine and volunteers at the prison to remove tattoos from gang members.
1:41
Dr. Bruce
I gotta say hi to my homies there.
1:43
Adam
He is, what, homos?
1:45
Dr. Bruce
No.
1:46
Adam
Oh, in prison.
1:47
Dr. Bruce
Those guys are great guys.
1:48
Adam
I understand. I'm sure, I know.
1:50
Dr. Bruce
They actually like you.
1:51
Adam
It was all one big misunderstanding. The whole F the LAPD on the neck and lockdown, all just one big long set of...
2:02
Dr. Bruce
Listen, I'm working with a guy now that does a church service on weekends. We're doing some great stuff.
2:07
Adam
Listen, Dr. Bruce is the most decent guy in the world. God-fearing, wife-fearing, who else do you fear?
2:15
Dr. Bruce
That sums it up.
2:16
Adam
What is, do you think that's what brought you and Drew together, that sort of commonality of both being scared assless of your wives?
2:24
Dr. Bruce
I think both wives have a propensity to say things out of school at times.
2:28
Adam
Yeah.
2:30
Dr. Bruce
Definitely my wife. I won't speak for Susan, but Susan has no compunction about saying things about you out of school. I'll say that.
2:36
Adam
No. We have a wide open relationship and she keeps Drew on a short leash. I wouldn't even call the leash. It's one of those twist ties they use on the sandwich bags. It's about the length of the leash she keeps him on. Very short.
2:55
Dr. Bruce
I like to listen to her talk about him when he's sitting there. It's a different light.
2:59
Yeah.
3:02
Dr. Bruce
She's a good person. The thing with Drew is he's so regimented and organized. Yeah. It's hard. There's no such thing as a short leash because he just does his thing.
3:10
Adam
Yeah. He sure does, but she calls and bust the balls and cracks the whip. Actually, she cracks whip into his balls.
3:18
Dr. Bruce
The question is how he tolerates you on a daily basis.
3:22
Adam
He's got no problem with that.
3:23
Dr. Bruce
Takes me three months to recover.
3:24
Adam
Much bigger fish.
3:25
He is a world class dick.
3:27
Dr. Bruce
That's what he told me about you too.
3:29
Adam
We got to play some boogies and shuffles and good Drew drops tonight. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Facts number 310-854-4455. I always get the story mixed up with how you know Drew. Now Dr. Marcel, the plastic surgeon, the pimp of the doctor world, was roommates with him or were you roommates with him or classmates with him?
3:53
Dr. Bruce
No, not me.
3:53
Adam
That was Marcel. Now how do you know Drew then? Do we ever talk about this?
3:58
Dr. Bruce
I was doing, let's see, Clean and Crazy. That was it with Jed the Fish about 11 years ago. So I met him actually at K-Rock.
4:06
Adam
I see. All right.
4:08
Dr. Bruce
Then we were both on faculty at LA Children's and Adolescent Medicine now.
4:11
Adam
All right.
4:12
Dr. Bruce
Exciting, huh?
4:13
Adam
Yeah. Good times.
4:16
Hello?
4:16
Adam
You're 20. What's up?
4:18
Caller
Okay. My boyfriend, I've had three years now. He has scabs on his penis for the past nine months now. Yeah. I don't know what they are. They're like ring-like. He won't go into the doctor. He refuses.
4:37
Dr. Bruce
Ring-like?
4:38
Caller
They're like ring-like. They look like little worms, not worms, but they're circular and they're scabby.
4:45
Dr. Bruce
The skin is normal in the center?
4:47
Caller
Yeah.
4:47
Adam
Of the circle, you mean?
4:48
Caller
Yeah.
4:49
Adam
How big is the circle?
4:51
Caller
Like a half a centimeter.
4:55
Adam
What part of Europe are you from, honey?
4:58
Caller
I'm really technical, okay?
5:00
Dr. Bruce
It could be a fungal infection. It could be something else. I love doing dermatology on radio. It's a great special.
5:06
Adam
Well, listen, jackass, why did you pick the call first then?
5:09
Dr. Bruce
To irritate you.
5:10
Adam
How dare you?
5:11
Dr. Bruce
No, listen, seriously, he refuses to go see a doctor or?
5:16
Caller
He refuses and I don't-
5:18
Adam
Are you using protection when you have sex with him?
5:20
Caller
Well, no, but we're both faithful and I'm on the pill.
5:25
Adam
I know, but the point is he has things growing from his penis. Isn't that the beginning part of the call?
5:31
Caller
Yeah.
5:32
Adam
Okay. Listen, Allison.
5:34
Dr. Bruce
Withhold sex until he sees a doctor.
5:35
Adam
That's right. You have the power. Do you understand?
5:39
Caller
Okay.
5:40
Adam
Tell him that you're concerned and as well you should be about your health and that until he gets this thing figured out, there's going to be no more nookie.
5:48
Caller
Yeah. I went to my doctor and she told me to put like jock itch cream on it and he doesn't even do that.
5:57
Dr. Bruce
Well, yeah, she's assuming it's a fungal infection because that's what they frequently look like. But I wouldn't assume anything and being that we don't know your boyfriend intimately.
6:05
Adam
Who's running around in the background there?
6:08
Caller
Oh, it's my friend Cat and her little four year old.
6:12
Adam
I see. All right. What's can't do? Strip?
6:17
Caller
Did you hear what she said? No, she doesn't. She goes to school with me.
6:22
Dr. Bruce
Now, I hope the children aren't exposed to the show, are they?
6:26
Caller
Well, he's listening.
6:28
Adam
That's right. They got to grow up. Four is a good age to start getting into this show.
6:32
Dr. Bruce
We don't want to talk morals tonight, do we? No.
6:36
Adam
Dr. Bruce is a very religious man. And as you know, I worship Satan.
6:40
Dr. Bruce
I wouldn't go out on a limb about that.
6:43
Adam
Yeah, you're a pretty uptight guy, a pretty religious guy. But a good guy, and as I've said about Dr. Bruce, a normal guy, whereas Dr. Drew's habits or hobbies, I should say, would be opera and opera. Those would be his hobbies. His hobbies are, Dr. Drew's hobbies would be talking into his dictaphone while he's driving, opera and getting his ass kicked around by his wife. Those would be his hobbies. And I have a lot of hobbies because I'm a guy. And guys should have hobbies. That's how you can tell who guys are. They have hobbies.
7:23
Dr. Bruce
You got to think against opera. He's good. He sings very well.
7:26
Adam
But the point is, is I like Bruce because Bruce likes collecting junk, going to pond shops, tools, guitars, you know, games and nonsense. You're like a 13 year old with a paycheck and you're dangerous that way. But that's what I like about you. We can talk about, for instance, I can talk to Bruce about cars. Yeah, but. Can not talk to Drew about cars. Eric?
7:52
Yes.
7:53
Adam
You're 18.
7:54
Caller
Yes.
7:55
I want to know if it causes chemical reaction. If I get off the Paxmo medicine.
8:01
Dr. Bruce
Did it cause a chemical reaction when you started taking it?
8:03
Not when I get off.
8:05
Dr. Bruce
Okay. You're taking it for depression, obviously.
8:08
Yes.
8:08
Dr. Bruce
Okay. And you're seeing a psychiatrist or your family practitioners prescribing it?
8:13
Yes. I'm seeing my psychiatrist.
8:14
Dr. Bruce
Okay. It's not uncommon if you're going through therapy and you're doing better to be taken off an antidepressant. And if your doctor doesn't, when he thinks it's appropriate, you're not going to have withdrawal. You're not going to have any kind of...
8:26
Am I going to be addicted if I get off the medicine?
8:29
Dr. Bruce
No. It's not an addictive substance. And you're using this to increase the brain level of certain neurotransmitters that are thought to be deficient or low in depression.
8:39
Adam
But he should be doing this with his psychiatrist, right?
8:42
Right.
8:43
Dr. Bruce
But many people don't trust their psychiatrist.
8:44
So...
8:46
Adam
I know that most of the... Here's when the trust stops with the doctors and the psychiatrists. When they start telling them stuff they don't want to hear, all of a sudden they don't trust them. You know what I'm saying?
8:57
Dr. Bruce
Yeah.
8:58
Adam
If a doctor says you're healthy as a horse, he's the world's greatest doctor. If the doctor tells him, hey, maybe you ought to put down the booze, all of a sudden the guy becomes a quack.
9:08
Dr. Bruce
Yeah.
9:09
Adam
You know what I'm saying? Many patients don't...
9:11
Dr. Bruce
They don't develop a rapport. They go to the therapist for the talk therapy.
9:16
Adam
Alexandra?
9:17
Yeah.
9:17
Adam
What's up?
9:18
Nothing, actually.
9:21
Adam
You're 16?
9:22
Caller
I'm 16, yeah.
9:23
Adam
Yeah. You sound spooky.
9:24
Caller
Yeah. No, I'm not.
9:25
Adam
You're not? Okay.
9:26
Caller
No, actually, I'm in sort of an empty room right now, so that's probably why I sound spooky. But anyway, I think really the question is, is my parents split up when I was six years old, and I really, really don't remember the experience. And to this day, both of my parents really won't explain why they got a divorce. And I guess I want to say, like, maybe two weeks ago, I started having these really, really wicked dreams, and they actually involved just me and my father and him basically doing the whole molesting thing. And I can't really, I can't really remember of any past experience, like, with him like that. And I know, I mean, he's not addicted to alcohol, and you know, he doesn't smoke pot, you know, he doesn't do drugs. So I mean, I don't really know exactly.
10:26
Adam
How old were you when, in your dream?
10:29
Caller
I want to say, well, I had three of them, and they all occurred like within like one night after another. And like, I was about six years old when they got a divorce. And I think really that was when it like, that's like how old I was.
10:45
Dr. Bruce
Have you recently become sexually active?
10:47
Adam
I love the Loveline caller. She takes 20 minutes to answer the world's simplest question.
10:52
Caller
I'm sorry.
10:53
Adam
So you're saying six?
10:54
Caller
Yeah, like six, six, seven, and eight, I want to say.
10:57
Adam
Yeah. You know, it's kind of like who wants to be a millionaire every question I ask on this show, even if it's how much do you weigh or how old are you?
11:05
Dr. Bruce
It's like none of the benefits of that show.
11:07
Adam
Yeah. I'd like to use one of my lifelines on it, like a call. Buddy Phil, he lives in Poughkeepsie. Phil, how old am I? All right. Listen.
11:16
Dr. Bruce
Have you become sexually active recently?
11:18
Caller
No, I'm still a virgin.
11:19
Adam
All right. Just because you had a dream about it doesn't mean it happened. And just because your parents got divorced and aren't explaining to you sufficiently why they got the divorce does not mean it's because someone molested you.
11:32
Caller
Yeah.
11:32
Adam
I mean, people get divorced all the time. You assume they're not getting along.
11:36
Caller
Yeah.
11:36
Adam
Do you get the feeling they're hiding something big from you?
11:39
Caller
There's something, I mean, there's something that my mom, I think I know the reason why they got a divorce. I think it's because my mom had actually turned bisexual. And, like, I think that, I mean, that totally, like, affected my life because, I mean, it felt like, well, of course, she didn't love my dad anymore. You know what I mean? And, I mean, she was, like, leaving him for another woman, and, like, to this day, they're still together.
12:07
Adam
Oh, her and the other woman?
12:08
Caller
Yeah.
12:09
Adam
Oh, okay. Well, that does take some of the guesswork out of it.
12:13
Dr. Bruce
She didn't turn bisexual. She turned.
12:14
Adam
Hold on a second. Let's just do a little Loveline recap here. My parents were divorced when I was 6. I've continually asked them why they were divorced, why they got divorced. They won't tell me. And I've never got to the bottom of it. Okay, now, pass forward three minutes. So, you don't know why your parents got divorced. Well, I have a suspicion. It's possibly because my mother met another person of the same sex, began a relationship with that person and is still with her today. Possibly. I'd say that may be, well, 50% of the reason why you may have gotten divorced is because your mother is with the same goddamn person she was with 10 years ago when she was with your dad, who happens to be a woman. Wouldn't you say that would be the reason?
13:06
Dr. Bruce
I'd say that there's not much question about that.
13:10
Adam
That and possibly, I'm guessing he was a domestic beer man and she was an imported gal, and that could have caused some of it. She could have been, he could have been country and she could have been western music.
13:25
Caller
No, not really.
13:26
Adam
No, that's all right.
13:28
Dr. Bruce
Did you hear the whole diatribe there?
13:29
Caller
That's not the case.
13:30
Adam
Well, she's with the same woman she was with when she left your father, right?
13:35
Caller
Right.
13:36
Adam
Yeah, so let's just go ahead and say that's the reason they got the divorce.
13:39
Caller
Okay.
13:40
Dr. Bruce
Are you still in touch with your dad?
13:42
Caller
What?
13:42
Dr. Bruce
You see your dad much now?
13:43
Caller
Well, I live in Chicago and he lives in Kansas, so I mean, I usually don't see him that much. Like, I see him over, like, the winter and over the summer, and that's really pretty much it.
13:53
Dr. Bruce
Okay.
13:53
Well, certainly.
13:54
Caller
I talk to him on the phone and everything, but I mean, I don't really see him.
13:57
Adam
Are you living with your mom and her lover?
14:00
Caller
Yeah.
14:01
Adam
All right. Well, that's enough to have weird dreams. Well, it really is. All right.
14:05
Caller
I don't know where, like, my dad comes in.
14:07
Adam
Okay. I'm going to wrap this whole thing up in 15 seconds. Bruce, quiet down over there. Just, let's just assume your dad did nothing to you. All right. Let's work from that premise because I don't know what good it does for you to think he did. I don't think he did. I would assume he didn't. I'd say the bigger impact was your mom going lesbian, and you being raised by these two lesbians from age six doesn't mean you're damned to a life of insanity. You're 16, you've been through some stuff, you're having some dreams, don't buy into all of it, and you got to get some counseling maybe, read a book, go for a walk. All right? But don't make a big deal over this dream.
14:48
Dr. Bruce
The fact that they're-
14:49
Adam
Thank you.
14:50
Dr. Bruce
Okay. She should talk to somebody professionally because there's a lot of information we didn't get out of that.
14:54
Adam
Yeah. And what the hell? I mean-
14:56
Dr. Bruce
If they're recurrent, they're starting to disturb her sleep, then she should really talk to somebody about it.
15:01
Adam
But don't blame daddy for mom going lesbian. That's a bigger impact.
15:05
Dr. Bruce
Right. The whole edible thing occurs a lot earlier. This is at 15, that's a little unusual.
15:10
Adam
And listen, it freaks a six-year-old girl out when mommy hooks up with another mommy and moves in like a cagney and lacy. Luke?
15:23
Yeah.
15:24
Adam
You're 15.
15:25
Caller
Yeah.
15:25
Adam
What's up?
15:27
Caller
Well, I was wondering how I can make myself feel like I'm having sex.
15:31
Caller
During masturbation.
15:32
Caller
Yeah.
15:33
Adam
Yeah. Because you're a couple of years off, Luke. I can hear it in your voice. Yeah. You know what I love? We got 15-year-olds that sound like they've done time, like they've been driving a truck, like they drove a truck from Vietnam. And then we have 15-year-olds that sound like they're 11. Luke?
15:54
Caller
What?
15:54
Adam
You're young, right? You got hair on you?
15:57
Caller
Yeah.
15:57
Adam
You do? You sound like you're a late bloomer, but that's a good thing.
16:03
Caller
Yeah, I'm a late bloomer.
16:04
Adam
Yeah, that's all right. You know, Dr. Drew says that people that are late bloomers live longer.
16:09
Dr. Bruce
They get in less trouble, too.
16:10
Adam
Of course, that's just more time not to get laid, but yeah, and they tend to get in less trouble, because yeah.
16:14
Dr. Bruce
A lot less trouble as teenagers.
16:15
Adam
What are you gonna do?
16:16
Dr. Bruce
Are you practicing or anticipating the event here? What's, why are you focusing on this?
16:22
I was just wondering.
16:23
Adam
Are you, so you are masturbating?
16:25
Yeah.
16:26
Adam
You are, but you'd like a more realistic sensation? Fill your hand with Cheez Whiz that's been microwaved for just a few seconds. Really gives that feeling, and put a piece of shank carpet, a little sample between your thumb and forefinger.
16:43
Dr. Bruce
Can we do a medical disclaimer here, so that, I don't know. Somebody actually tries to.
16:47
Adam
Luke, that's a dead-end street. Many a man before you has tried this, since the caveman days, when he used to. Hollow out trees and fill them with elephant lard.
16:59
Dr. Bruce
Before the show, I predicted to the staff that we were gonna go the vegetable fruit route, that you were gonna take that route.
17:05
Adam
Hey, Luke, you get a mayonnaise jar and you fill it with ground beef, and you microwave it. But just warm it up, so it's just a little warmer in room temperature.
17:16
Dr. Bruce
Luke, listen to me. Do not take any of Adam's advice, because it sounds like you're thinking he may be serious. The thing to do is...
17:25
Adam
He humps some ground beef. Who cares?
17:26
Dr. Bruce
You sound like a normal kid. Do what you normally do, and don't try to get creative with reproducing the female body in an inanimate object.
17:35
Adam
Luke, do you have...
17:36
Dr. Bruce
People have gotten in trouble.
17:37
Adam
Do you have stuff to look at?
17:40
Caller
No.
17:41
Adam
You don't have the internet or a Playboy?
17:43
Caller
Oh, my parents took my computer away.
17:45
Adam
Yeah.
17:45
Dr. Bruce
I don't want to ask why.
17:46
Adam
Yeah. See, a keyboard was stuck to the monitor. That's why.
17:51
Dr. Bruce
Were you accessing porn sites or something like that?
17:53
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. All right, Luke, just close your eyes and drift back to those days of porn sites, and you'll be fine. You know what I love? Quiet down over there, Bruce. I was talking to a bunch of guys about this. There's something about the age for a man, 13, 14, 15. Luke's a little bit of a late bloomer at 15. He sounds a little more like 13. But the point is, is all these fantasies, x-ray glasses, becoming invisible and sneaking into the girls' locker room, if I could only make a woman in the lab, you know what I mean? A lot of those fantasies center around women who you give some magical pixie dust, and they fall asleep, and you're able to grab their boobs or something without them memorizing. I think they call that stuff roofies now. But you know what I'm talking about? Is there a 13, 14, 15 year old male on the planet that doesn't kind of have that fantasy about simulating a woman, creating a woman, making a woman?
18:56
Dr. Bruce
Very normal.
18:57
Adam
Very normal.
18:57
Dr. Bruce
But when we go out and start spending too much time in the internet, at this age, it's fine when it's fantasy, but it can start to become a drug, and when they start associating too much masturbation, too much dopamine being released, actually, if there are other unhealthy things going on in their life and the family, it can start to become a bit of an obsessive problem.
19:15
Adam
But what do you think about this, Bruce? When we were coming up, back when, we didn't have a VCR. Your family didn't have a VCR. They didn't have cable.
19:27
Dr. Bruce
They just invented television when I was growing up.
19:28
Adam
Yeah. I mean, they really didn't have cable, right?
19:32
Dr. Bruce
No access. Right.
19:34
Adam
Cable was something that a guy at a circus walked on. That was what cable was. They didn't have Internet, obviously, and computers and all this stuff. Even the page porn stuff wasn't too graphic. He had a Playboy or a Penhouse, and there wasn't a whole lot going on with that. So you didn't go to the next step. I mean, that's where you were at. Right. Now, if you're looking at all sorts of bizarre, lewd acts being performed on video, on the internet, and all this kind of stuff, well, the thing about sexuality and about being young is you keep wanting to go to the next level with it. And the next level, from what's going on today, I mean, if you got gang bang 48 colossal combos, you know, mega cum shots on a video, and you're 15, and you got that thing in your VCR, then the next step is going to the morgue, digging up a corpse, and, you know, animating her with jumper cables.
20:37
Caller
Unacceptable.
20:38
Adam
You know what I'm saying?
20:39
Dr. Bruce
In your own strange way, you're describing the pathology that occurs in some teenagers, and I was talking to one of the adolescent therapists at the Adolescent Medicine Department, and they were talking about MTV and some of the exposure to really suggestive sexual themes, and even that can be too much for early teens. So what you're describing is true. When you're exposed to something and you can have access.
21:02
Adam
And how important is it for you to pick a network that I'm on when you make a negative example of the deterioration of society? Oh, did I mention a network? Oh, Jesus Christ.
21:14
Dr. Bruce
I didn't mention you specifically.
21:16
Adam
All right.
21:16
Dr. Bruce
No, but I mean, that's a good point, which you said, and it's absolutely true, and that's why if kids don't have supervision of responsible parents, they can get into real trouble.
21:25
Adam
That's right. You should beat your kids with a Bible, like Bruce does. When we come back, we'll speak to John. He's worried about his heroin addict brother. He wants to know how to make him stop. Bruce will tell him how to make him stop. Maybe the old Bible beating.
21:38
Dr. Bruce
I'll make him chew the pages.
21:39
Adam
After this.
21:40
We about to get funky, yo. This is Loveline.
21:45
1-800-LOVE-191. We'll be right back.
22:22
Adam
Loveline, I'm Adam Carolla. Dr. Bruce over there. May not sound like it, but he is qualified, kiddies.
22:30
Caller
What did you just eat?
22:31
Adam
Abba Zabba. Yeah.
22:35
He's smart.
22:38
Adam
Yeah, Daniel and Engineer Anderson got it for me for my little early birthday present. And birthday's coming up Saturday, you know.
22:48
Happy birthday to you.
22:51
Adam
Drew's supposed to get me a hot shaving cream dispenser.
22:54
Dr. Bruce
Oh, is that right?
22:55
Adam
Yes. I've not seen it yet.
22:56
Dr. Bruce
That's very special.
22:57
Adam
Keep my fingers crossed. All right. John?
23:00
Yeah.
23:00
Adam
You're 29. What's up?
23:03
Caller
My brother is 27, and he's a heroin addict. And I don't know how to approach him on it.
23:11
Adam
How long has he been into it?
23:13
Caller
I have no idea. I just started finding syringes in his bathroom and his trash can.
23:19
Adam
That seems bad.
23:20
Caller
Yeah.
23:20
Dr. Bruce
Is he working?
23:21
Caller
Um, sort of. He's trying to be an actor, but...
23:26
Dr. Bruce
Oh, well.
23:28
Caller
Yeah.
23:28
Adam
He works a little bit, or...?
23:30
Caller
Uh, not really. Just a little extra stuff.
23:35
Adam
I see.
23:37
Dr. Bruce
Have you known him to have a problem with alcohol, any other behavioral problems in the past, or has this sort of just crept up out of nowhere?
23:43
Caller
Well, I knew he drank a little bit, but anything like a normal person, not too much. But he would get drunk, like, not too often.
23:52
Dr. Bruce
Okay. Well, you know, there are lots of questions that could be asked, but before Adam shuts me off here, you can do what you can to raise the bottom to have him experience consequences. Obviously, somebody that's in into heroin, there's a certain progression of the disease, and if he's early into it where he's not having a lot of consequences, you know, it's obviously an extremely euphoric, a very addictive drug, and people will go to great lengths to continue to use and to avoid the consequences, and to avoid people that try to present reality to them. You don't want to get into the place where you get addicted to trying to save him. That doesn't work either, codependency route.
24:30
Adam
So, what have we just told them? I know what you're doing and let's do something about it.
24:34
Dr. Bruce
That's a great place to start.
24:36
Caller
It's not too easy to approach him on that one.
24:38
Adam
Hey, you're his older brother.
24:40
Caller
I know, but it's just, he's a little whacked, let's just say.
24:47
Dr. Bruce
Okay, are there people around, does he have a girlfriend or are there people that he has close relationships with?
24:51
Caller
He has close relationships with people. He doesn't have a steady girlfriend.
24:55
Dr. Bruce
Okay, you know, there's the risk of talking to other people and doing an intervention, confronting him with, in a loving way saying, look, because we care about you, we want you to get help and we're not gonna continue to support your use in any way at all.
25:09
Adam
Now, listen, older brother should be able to tell the younger brother whatever the F the older brother wants to tell him at any stage in life.
25:16
Dr. Bruce
Was that leave it to Beaver or?
25:18
Adam
There's an inherent fear that younger brothers have of their older brothers and it goes on throughout life.
25:25
Dr. Bruce
And there's an inherent dysfunction in families that they came from probably.
25:29
Adam
I'm sure. But listen, you gotta do what you've gotta do. Right. I mean, you gotta go up and confront him and if he can't hear it, he can't hear it. You gotta do your job.
25:38
Dr. Bruce
It's a horribly dangerous thing and the recovery rate for IV heroin use is not the greatest. So consequences, if the guy got arrested and thrown in jail, I mean, it would be much better than the risk of dying every day that he's taken.
25:50
Adam
Set him up. Rich?
25:52
Yes.
25:52
Adam
You're 25.
25:54
Caller
Yes.
25:54
Adam
What's up?
25:56
Caller
Before I joined the military, I could have sex all the time. And I joined the military, started pumping full anthrax shots and it's like now I can't even get an erection. I was wondering if the anthrax shots had something to do with that.
26:07
Adam
I had heard some stuff and I had heard about some military people refusing to take the anthrax vaccine or whatever you want to call it.
26:15
Dr. Bruce
I don't know the relationship with erections. Maybe going in the military had something to do with that.
26:20
Caller
No, I don't think so. I think it's just the shots or something they're giving me. I don't know what's in it, but doing something to me. My sex drive is just gone. I can't even maintain an erection anymore.
26:29
Adam
Are you still in the military?
26:32
Caller
Yes, I'm in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
26:34
Adam
And what do you do over there?
26:36
Caller
88th Security Forces. I'm an Air Force cop.
26:39
Adam
Oh, really?
26:39
Caller
Yes.
26:40
Dr. Bruce
How long have you been in the military?
26:41
Caller
Two years.
26:42
Dr. Bruce
What's the frequency of the shots?
26:46
Caller
They start out, they pump you full of it. Every two weeks, you have to go and get a shot, and then after that, you get a six-month booster.
26:54
Dr. Bruce
I know of no association with erectile dysfunction.
26:58
Caller
My sex drive is just gone, and it's the only thing I can think of, because it started about the same time I got the shot.
27:03
Adam
You masturbate?
27:05
Caller
Not anymore. I mean, I can't even get it up. It's just a lump noodle.
27:08
Adam
Oh, really?
27:08
Caller
Yeah.
27:09
Adam
Jesus. Yeah. You got a lawsuit going. I'm surprised you haven't commandeered like a F-14 and just gone nuts.
27:18
Caller
That's the Navy. We have 16s and 15s.
27:20
Adam
Oh, all right. I was right in between. All right, well, F-16 and F-15. Yeah. Jump into one of those and go nuts.
27:29
Dr. Bruce
Have you talked to the medics there?
27:31
Caller
Yeah. They just deny everything. I mean, they're just trying to cover themselves. All right.
27:35
Adam
But hey, listen, Rich, if you decide, let me explain the penis to you. The penis is very sensitive to hearsay and what it hears. If you say, I'm pumped full of this anthrax, and I'm a limp noodle, and the medics just lie to me, your penis will not respond.
27:58
Caller
I've tried everything. I mean, I've had girls that are like, oh, it can't be right, and they try to work me up, and I can't even get worked up.
28:05
Adam
All right. You need... What about police, Drew? What about seeing a physician and just explaining to them what the situation is? Running some tests, that kind of thing. I mean, don't connect it to the anthrax. Just tell them you're having a rectal difficulty and see what the deal is. You know what I'm saying, Rich?
28:26
Caller
Yeah, I could try that.
28:27
Adam
Yeah.
28:27
Dr. Bruce
So when you wake up in the morning, you don't ever have the erection...
28:30
Adam
Oh, wait a minute. Rich, you don't have the boner in the morning?
28:34
Caller
No, I don't have anything. It's just hanging.
28:37
Adam
Okay.
28:37
Dr. Bruce
Yes. You need to... Not the medic, see a physician and go over the... You're assuming it's an anthrax vaccine, but...
28:44
Caller
It happened about the same time.
28:46
Adam
I understand that, and maybe it is, but why don't you just assume it isn't and just go to somebody and talk to them about your rectal difficulty and see what they can help you with?
28:55
Caller
Okay.
28:55
Adam
All right.
28:56
Caller
Hey, Adam, one more thing.
28:57
Adam
Good luck. Yeah.
28:58
Caller
God licking, man.
28:59
Adam
What? What did he say?
29:01
Caller
I don't know.
29:02
Adam
I didn't hear what he said. Anderson, what did he say? Anderson? Oh, is he dumping something?
29:09
Yeah.
29:10
Caller
Something about God licking.
29:12
Adam
God licking?
29:13
Dr. Bruce
Good looking.
29:16
Adam
Did you dump that?
29:18
Caller
No, it wasn't bad.
29:19
Adam
Oh, yeah. I didn't know what he said. I was trying to figure out whether it was bad or not. It's the antirex vaccine causing that brain. Drew?
29:24
Yeah.
29:24
Adam
You're 13.
29:25
Caller
Yeah. What's up? I guess I've got a pretty big one for my age, and everybody at school always stares at my bulge.
29:33
Adam
No, they don't.
29:34
Caller
Yeah, they do, dude.
29:36
Adam
What are you wearing? Cycling shorts?
29:39
Caller
Because I guess tight dickies, I guess you could say.
29:43
Adam
I'm the big boy. Dickies aren't tight, they're loose fitting.
29:48
Well.
29:50
Adam
All right. You got a big package, and everyone stares at your package.
29:54
Caller
Yeah, and it's okay once in a while.
29:57
Adam
Yeah. You're feeling objectified, like you're on display, like you're some piece of meat or some prize pig at the county fair. Yeah.
30:07
Dr. Bruce
You're 13?
30:08
Adam
It's heartbreaking.
30:09
Dr. Bruce
Well, he's 13 with a deep voice.
30:10
Adam
So yeah, I believe he's got a pretty good package. Hey, Drew. Yeah. Who cares? Okay, you idiot. You wear something a little looser.
30:20
Dr. Bruce
No, listen.
30:20
Adam
Oh, shut up. It's a occupational. Don't even dignify that. I got a big package. I'm seriously concerned.
30:28
Dr. Bruce
You think he's asked five girls to listen to him?
30:29
Adam
He's calling the show so he can advertise his junk. Please, idiot. Listen, all you screwballs. If you do, let's say you do have a legitimate problem, and this goes for you women too who are talking. I've talked to more women who complain about guys checking them out physically who wear body stockings to work. You know what I mean? If you've got a big rack and a tight ass, and you don't like people looking at you, then why don't you wear something that's got a few yards of material in it? And they always go, and listen, all you with everything, well why should I change my blah blah blah blah blah? You know why you should? Because you're complaining about it constantly. If you're going to complain about something, then you should. If not, then shut the F up. This is for everybody.
31:16
Dr. Bruce
Boy, I'd love to tell you to shut the F up.
31:17
Adam
Oh please.
31:18
Dr. Bruce
Listen, at 13-
31:19
Adam
No, but listen, if you're some chick and you're like, I wear a tube top to work and I'm tired of guys looking at my jugs, and then I tell you, why don't you wear something loose fitting, and you go, why should I change what I'm wearing? Because you should because you're complaining. It's the same with this guy.
31:33
Dr. Bruce
No, it's not.
31:34
Adam
Wear something loose for Christ's sake.
31:36
Dr. Bruce
This guy's 13-
31:37
Adam
I got 10 pounds of nuts, no one stares at my crotch because I dress like a human being. You can't get past your face, that's why.
31:43
Dr. Bruce
A 13-year-old-
31:44
Adam
Is it because I'm good looking? No.
31:47
Dr. Bruce
A 13, 14, 15-year-old in early adolescence, being self-conscious is an occupational hazard. So that's the first thing, whether or not he's big or small, that's the way you feel. And so it's a different story. If he were 18, 20- Teenagers are different animals.
32:04
Adam
Oh, who cares? Well, just wear something that's got it. What's in style now? And by the way, when I was- When I was in junior high, people were wearing pants that you painted on.
32:17
Dr. Bruce
But didn't you feel like when you were 13, 14 years old, everybody was looking at you?
32:22
Adam
Probably they were. They weren't looking at me. I knew they weren't looking at me. That was the problem.
32:27
Caller
Hey, how are you doing? Look at your hair.
32:30
Adam
Yeah. I had funny hair like you do. Your hair must have been a mess.
32:35
Dr. Bruce
Take your hat off. Let's talk about your hair. Why do you cover it? You always wear a hat. Why do you always wear a hat?
32:40
Adam
Because I'm bald.
32:41
Dr. Bruce
Drew says you're covering up something or you're hiding something up there.
32:45
Adam
No, I'm protecting my brain, my million-dollar brain. Sean, you're 23. Yeah. What is up?
32:54
Caller
I live in Harford County, Maryland, Joppa Town.
32:58
Adam
Yeah, I know.
32:58
Caller
I've got a big problem. I guess it might be my problem, but then again, it might be their problem. Every time I have sex with my girlfriend or any of her friends, they all have orgasms within three minutes.
33:13
Adam
And does that go for her mom and grandma, too?
33:16
Caller
No, she knows I have sex with her girlfriend.
33:18
Adam
I see.
33:19
Caller
You know?
33:20
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got a real problem on your hands.
33:24
Caller
The thing is, you know, they have an orgasm within two minutes, and I haven't even got off yet.
33:28
Adam
I see. That's rough. Yeah. Yeah.
33:30
Dr. Bruce
Well, because...
33:31
Caller
I'm the big boy.
33:32
Adam
Oh, who cares?
33:34
Caller
Is that a problem on my behalf? Am I doing something wrong?
33:37
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, you're treating sex like a recreational sport. That's your first problem.
33:41
Adam
Listen, he's not doing... He's not getting laid.
33:43
Caller
Are you kidding me?
33:46
Dr. Bruce
Must be Western Maryland.
33:47
Adam
Yeah.
33:47
Dr. Bruce
Are you in Western Maryland?
33:48
Adam
Oh, my God. Imagine how fat and ugly those chicks are. All right, Sean, good luck to you there, buddy.
33:54
Caller
What could I do to...
33:55
Adam
Oh, who cares? You can still have an orgasm. Who cares they have an orgasm?
33:59
Dr. Bruce
Wear a condom.
34:00
Caller
Because they need to have an orgasm when I have an orgasm.
34:04
Dr. Bruce
Do you wear a condom?
34:05
Caller
Yeah.
34:05
Adam
All right. Good luck.
34:06
Dr. Bruce
We're two.
34:08
Adam
You're not nailing enough of your girlfriend's friends. That's the problem. Does she have younger retarded sisters and, you know, junior high that you could possibly have sex with, too?
34:18
Caller
No. Just her and her friends. They're all like 23, 22.
34:22
Adam
And they all have orgasms before you do?
34:26
Caller
Yeah.
34:27
Adam
You're too good.
34:29
Caller
What do you do to prevent that?
34:30
Adam
It's never happened to me.
34:32
Dr. Bruce
Get in a monogamous relationship and develop some sort of intimacy.
34:36
Adam
On a real level.
34:37
Dr. Bruce
If you could do that, you'd have better sex.
34:40
Adam
This is the older cousin of the guy who calls with the package that's too big. Do you understand that?
34:48
Dr. Bruce
I believe it. I can...
34:49
Adam
My problem is I got too big a package and the people in junior high are looking at me. And then the next caller is my problem is I bring too many women to orgasm too quickly. What do I do?
35:01
Dr. Bruce
If I were you, I wouldn't insult them.
35:04
Adam
You kill yourself. High percentage. Oh, screw all of you. Sylvia? Yeah? Listen, I'm not one of these kiss-ass hosts who sits there and looks at every listener's precious and unreplaceable. You're all replaceable. That's the way I look at you. You leave the... Stop listening. There'll be someone else right behind you. And if someone doesn't fill your shoes, who cares? One less idiot listening to this show. I could care less. I don't even know... I have no idea how many people listen to this show. I don't know what markets we're in. I have no idea. I don't know what the ratings are. I wouldn't know it.
35:40
Dr. Bruce
Sylvia, would you like us to send you a listener satisfaction card? No.
35:44
Adam
No?
35:45
Dr. Bruce
Okay. What is your question?
35:46
Caller
It's funny. Okay. I don't know if there's anything wrong with me, but lately when I've been having sex with my boyfriend, I haven't been able to orgasm.
35:55
Adam
But you were in the past though, right?
35:57
Caller
Yeah, we were. We've been together for about a year, and lately we've been having problems between us.
36:02
Adam
Well, there you go. During orgasm?
36:04
Caller
No.
36:05
Adam
I mean, I'm sorry. I mean, are you able to have orgasm? Were you able to have orgasm during intercourse?
36:11
Caller
Yeah, with him, yeah.
36:13
Adam
And now? No orgasm during intercourse. What about oral sex?
36:18
Caller
Yeah.
36:19
Adam
You can still have that one?
36:20
Caller
Yeah.
36:21
Dr. Bruce
Men are selfish pigs.
36:22
Adam
It's going down on her.
36:24
Dr. Bruce
Does it surprise you, I mean, what Adam initially hit on that was right on, that you're having problems in the relationship and it's affecting your sex life?
36:32
Caller
Do you think that's what it is?
36:33
Adam
Of course. You women are so immature.
36:35
Caller
That's what it is. And she was telling me that there was studies that have been done that when you felt an emotional bond with someone and then it wasn't there anymore because of problems that you may have been having that you can't feel like emotionally close to them when you're having sex.
36:52
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, you don't have to do studies. I think that's yeah, that's absolutely right. And one of the reasons, you know, well, avoiding getting too sexually involved with somebody.
37:03
Adam
I love it when he spaz out.
37:04
Dr. Bruce
I know you love that. I have to do it just to. Too many good thoughts at once.
37:11
Adam
Good thoughts.
37:12
Dr. Bruce
Should I ask her your favorite question?
37:13
Adam
Boring thought number one, boring thought number two, and boring thought number three, all collided in your mouth.
37:18
Dr. Bruce
Boring question number one, how long were you dating before you had sex? One day, two days, or three days?
37:25
Caller
No, probably about a week.
37:26
Adam
You nailed her on the table at the restaurant.
37:29
Dr. Bruce
I would say that that has something to do with it.
37:31
Adam
The sooner you start dating, the sooner you start getting... How dare you? How dare you?
37:36
Caller
What? We've been together for about a year.
37:38
Adam
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with it.
37:39
Dr. Bruce
It's sabotage is the growth of the relationship. You get involved sexually early on like that.
37:43
Adam
Shut up, you Bible thumper.
37:45
Caller
Do you think that there's something wrong with me?
37:48
Adam
No. No.
37:49
Dr. Bruce
This is a healthy sign.
37:50
Adam
Shut Bruce's mic off. Please.
37:52
Caller
He is a world class.
37:53
Caller
I want to be with other people sexually because I can't.
37:56
Adam
You want to be with other people sexually? Listen, Sylvia, here's what's happening. You guys are drifting apart. You're not so in love. That's it. You're closing down. Right. This is what women do. It's like, you know in the movies when they're shutting down something big, like a big warehouse or something, they get that whole bank of switches, boosh, boosh, boosh, like the cockpit of an airplane. Start shutting down all the engines when they're gliding in. They start, they just flip switches, switches, switches, switch after switch. Women are doing, do this in relationships. Guys don't really do it. They just, they get kicked out. They don't know what's going on. They're confused. Or they meet somebody else. They're immediately into them. But women start the shut down process early. And she's shutting down.
38:43
Dr. Bruce
Right. And the men don't care.
38:44
Adam
They, they don't notice.
38:45
Dr. Bruce
They can have sex.
38:46
Adam
Yeah. They're going to drive it right into the mountainside.
38:49
Dr. Bruce
Right.
38:50
Adam
All right. She's shutting down. She's thinking about other guys. Fine. You're 20. Natural. We're going to take ourselves a little break and we'll be back after this.
39:02
Caller
Loveline will be right back.
39:34
Dr. Bruce
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
39:36
Adam
It's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Bruce over there. The great Dr. Bruce. Whose hair doesn't look as red as it normally does. Are you coloring it? Blah, blah, blah. Are you doing something to it?
39:51
Dr. Bruce
No, it's just maturity.
39:52
Adam
Really?
39:53
Dr. Bruce
Yeah.
39:53
Adam
It's good. That's good.
39:55
Dr. Bruce
It's scary if you're noticing my hair in that detail. Don't get any ideas.
39:59
Adam
It really brings your eyes out. No more gay experiences for you though, right?
40:04
Dr. Bruce
No.
40:04
I'd better run.
40:06
Adam
Drew, please. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Bruce, filling in for Dr. Drew. He'll be back here Sunday night. Dr. Drew is in Boston for the 20th reunion of his college.
40:20
Dr. Bruce
Really?
40:21
Adam
Yeah, that's right. He's going to be the big conquering hero showing his face up at Amherst.
40:27
Dr. Bruce
Are Susan in the triplets on the trip?
40:28
Adam
Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, man. I'll tell you that guy likes pain.
40:36
Dr. Bruce
Don't you travel as a extended family member sometimes?
40:40
Adam
Oh, me?
40:41
Dr. Bruce
Yeah.
40:41
Adam
With Drew, Susan in the triplets?
40:43
Dr. Bruce
Yeah.
40:44
Adam
Now, listen, I can't take a 15-minute limo ride with that Susan without getting into a big argument with her. I couldn't imagine going across country with her.
40:54
Dr. Bruce
I think she's got your number.
40:56
Adam
Oh, please. Ryan?
41:00
Caller
Yeah?
41:01
Adam
You're 20.
41:02
Caller
Yeah.
41:03
Adam
What is that?
41:04
Caller
I've been getting some problems lately. I've been kind of cutting up my arm, and I'm not a complete moron. I know it's not exactly a smart thing to do, but...
41:14
Adam
No, I know. But listen, I'm not gonna jump on you for this, because it's a legitimate problem a lot of people have. I mean, people call this show, at least.
41:22
Dr. Bruce
No, a lot of... It is a legitimate problem, and many people do have this problem, and it has nothing to do with being a moron. It probably has something to do with something that happened to you when you're a kid, or maybe even something you don't remember.
41:32
Adam
Anything like that happen?
41:34
Caller
I wasn't abused. My parents didn't hit me over the head with a crowbar or anything like that.
41:38
Adam
Yeah.
41:39
Caller
My main thing is I...
41:41
Adam
What happened? What's the worst that they did? What's the worst that somebody did?
41:46
Caller
Well, my dad, in my opinion, is an idiot, and he kind of left when I was like 12, but that's pretty late to have some...
41:53
Adam
Yeah.
41:54
Dr. Bruce
Whatever there is, there's a lot of anger inside. That's one of the ways it can come out, but you're not alone in this. There's support groups. Therapy does help, and you need to see a professional, and you'll find that any therapist you see will be comfortable talking to you about it. We'll know about it, and we'll know what to do. Have you talked to anybody like that?
42:13
Adam
Yeah.
42:13
Dr. Bruce
Ryan?
42:14
Adam
Ryan, have you spoken to anybody?
42:17
Caller
I've talked to a few close, or actually like two close friends of mine.
42:20
Adam
Yeah, that doesn't count. You've got to talk to someone you don't know.
42:24
Dr. Bruce
Do you have access to somebody that's a counselor or even a school counselor to start with?
42:29
Caller
Well, not really.
42:31
Adam
What do you do? Do you go to school?
42:33
Caller
Yeah, I go to SDSU actually.
42:36
Adam
SDSU?
42:37
Caller
Yeah, I'm a psych major. Imagine that.
42:39
Adam
Yeah, oh no. I'm not surprised. Listen, go use some of the services at the school.
42:46
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, they've got great counseling services there. That's a place to start. And it has nothing to do with being dead or abnormal or...
42:55
Adam
Yeah, a lot of people do this.
42:57
Caller
Right.
42:58
Adam
Alright, so go in there and ask for help, please. That's all. He called this show. Go over there and talk to them.
43:06
Caller
Damian?
43:07
Yeah?
43:07
Adam
You're 15. What's up?
43:11
Caller
Well, I don't know how to tell my parents that I am taking a stolen taxel.
43:17
Adam
Yeah. Oh, why don't you just stop taking it and then not tell your parents?
43:22
Caller
Well, I want to tell them because I'm also taking other medications.
43:27
Adam
Yeah, I understand. Let me repeat that. Why don't you just stop taking whatever it is you're taking and not tell them?
43:39
Dr. Bruce
Okay, okay.
43:39
Adam
I know it's a little confusing.
43:40
Dr. Bruce
What else are you taking?
43:42
Caller
Wellbutrin.
43:43
Dr. Bruce
Okay. And you're taking obviously the Wellbutrin for depression?
43:47
Caller
Yeah.
43:48
Dr. Bruce
And you're seeing a doctor? When do you see a doctor next?
43:53
Caller
Two, three weeks.
43:55
Adam
I don't know exactly. Don't they know you're seeing a doctor?
43:59
Caller
Yeah. Well, they're the ones who put me on the Wellbutrin.
44:02
Dr. Bruce
Right. And you started taking the Paxil to get a buzz off of it? Or were you taking it to abuse it or because you're more depressed than the Wellbutrin could help you with or what was going on?
44:14
Caller
Well, originally it was just for the buzz, but it doesn't really do anything.
44:19
Adam
Oh, good. Well, then stop taking it. Where are you getting the Paxil?
44:25
Caller
A couple friends of mine actually burglarized a pharmacy to get it for me.
44:31
Adam
Oh, that's good. Did they get their film developed while they were in there?
44:36
Dr. Bruce
Wait a second. Wait a second. To get Paxil specifically?
44:39
Caller
No, they just, they were stealing other prescription drugs, I guess. I don't know what they were doing in there.
44:44
Adam
All right. Well, you run with a pretty fast crowd there, Damon. Hey, Damien, why don't you just stop taking the Paxil and then you don't have to tell your parents. All right?
44:55
Dr. Bruce
Well, yeah, the whole thing is, can you get in to see this doctor sooner than that and are you comfortable telling him?
45:04
Caller
I don't know if I can get in earlier.
45:05
Adam
All right.
45:06
Dr. Bruce
You know, it's just a matter of just stopping taking that and you're taking Wellbutrin.
45:11
Adam
What happens if you just stop taking Paxil?
45:13
Dr. Bruce
Well, probably nothing, but not knowing his case, it may destabilize his mood. You just don't know.
45:19
Adam
All right. Well, get in there and talk to, I don't know.
45:23
Dr. Bruce
You shouldn't be, I mean it's absolutely something you shouldn't be mixing these things together, taking medications like that on your own. There's so many things that come up. First of all, your parents are not going to be as concerned with where you got it as with the fact that you're taking something that could be dangerous and you could tell your parents you borrowed it from somebody. Tell them whatever you want. If you're afraid of the consequences of your friends breaking into a pharmacy, which sounds pretty horrendous to me, but you're the most important thing. So Damien, talk to your parents and whatever you tell them about getting the stuff, stop taking it, let them know because you just don't want to stop taking it suddenly.
45:57
Adam
Ultimately, it's their fault for naming them Damien. I mean, you're asking for a certain amount of trouble. You name a kid Damien.
46:04
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, they just seen the omen and.
46:06
Adam
Even before the omen came out, Damien sounds like a troubled name. You know what I mean? You name your kid Stu Corolla.
46:15
Dr. Bruce
I like when those little animals on that Toyota commercial and they're walking across the street and a car zooms by and they go, oh, it's just a Corolla. Whenever I see that, I.
46:23
Adam
You think of me?
46:24
Dr. Bruce
I think of you.
46:25
Adam
Really?
46:25
Dr. Bruce
Those little cute little animals.
46:26
Adam
I wonder if other people think of me when they see the Corolla commercial. I drive by in a Corolla and read the tag and it doesn't make, it doesn't inspire anything. But who knows? You know, when I did, you know, you know, when you, on the Craig Kilborn show, they do those little tests, the little quiz that involves, sometimes involves your name if you have a name that sounds like something. I did Kilborn last week, but I did it like two years before that and I was sitting up there during the five questions and he said, last question, name a car, a Toyota compact, bestseller in America and I said, Tercel and he said nope and I went Camry. Nope.
47:10
Dr. Bruce
And he thought you were trying to be a comedian.
47:12
Adam
I don't know what he thought. I was dead serious when I brought those up.
47:16
Dr. Bruce
So what did your face look like when he said curl?
47:19
Adam
It was beet red. Thank you very much. We're going to take a little break when we come back. More of the beet red haired Dr. Bruce after this.
47:28
Caller
Let's have some more fun.
47:30
Caller
Okay, let's do it.
47:32
Call Loveline 1-800-LOVE-191.
47:36
Caller
Loveline will be right back.
48:19
Caller
Yep.
48:20
Adam
Thank you. It is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Bruce over there. Dr. Bruce is a film in for Dr. Drew tonight, who's over at Amherst, his 20th college reunion. He's going back like MacArthur came back to the Philippines, the conquering hero. Dr. Bruce is a board certified. He's a addiction medicine specialist as well, and he's an emergency medicine specialist, which to me just seems like the worst job in the world.
48:50
Caller
Just be nice.
48:51
Adam
It really does.
48:54
Dr. Bruce
Saving lives.
48:56
Adam
I'll tell you, my hat's off to you, but it really seems like something only a handful of people could do or would want to do.
49:05
Dr. Bruce
It's actually one of the most popular training programs in medicine right now. It's probably in the top two or three, because it has well-defined hours, and as opposed to the 30 years ago when anybody just filled in an emergency department, there's a defined body of knowledge.
49:21
Adam
Yeah. Here's your defined hours, 8 p.m. till 4.30 in the morning.
49:26
Dr. Bruce
Oh, or worse, 9 p.m. Or worse. Yeah.
49:28
Adam
Yeah. What are your hours? What are the hours?
49:30
Dr. Bruce
Well, night shifts there, well, it's a teaching program, though, so there's a little more flexibility. But the average emergency physician, there's a lot of 12-hour shifts, 6 p.m., 6 a.m. It's tough. Staying up at night is an occupational hazard. And the saying is, I'll catch up on my sleep the first year I'm dead. You hear people saying things like that. You know that that's not a very good philosophy of health.
49:53
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. People tell me, I get that, because I like to nap. I like to complain about napping and sleeping. And they give me that, you can sleep and you're dead. But, no, that's not it. Yeah. My thing is, how about I just nap on that right now?
50:11
Dr. Bruce
Napping is very healthy, actually. And there are companies that are actually encouraging their employees to take short naps in the afternoons. Because they find the productivity is increased.
50:19
Adam
Yeah. Yeah. Unless you take it to an extreme, like Italy or Mexico, where you take a four and a half hour nap in the middle of every goddamn day. And then you wake up and you start drinking. That's not what they're talking about.
50:33
Dr. Bruce
We'll stereotype there.
50:35
Adam
Good 20 minutes in the middle of the day?
50:36
Dr. Bruce
Absolutely.
50:37
Adam
Yeah. Listen, they do tests on those body rhythms and all that kind of stuff. And it turns out that if you can shut down, I think it's like two in the afternoon is when it's supposed to hit you. But if you, circadian rhythms or whatever it is, but if you can tune out for a half hour from 2 to 2.30 every day, you wake up a little more productive. Although to me it means I'd have to masturbate as well because it's a ritual. Dan?
51:07
Caller
Yes.
51:07
Adam
You're 20?
51:08
Caller
Yes.
51:09
Adam
You're allergic to latex?
51:10
Caller
Yes.
51:11
Adam
And you want to know what else to use for protection sexually?
51:15
Caller
That's correct.
51:16
Dr. Bruce
Okay, when you...
51:17
Adam
What about one of those polyurethane rubbers?
51:19
Caller
Right.
51:21
Caller
Can you get them at like any pharmacy?
51:23
Dr. Bruce
Right. I was just going to say before Adam took the words out of my mouth, go ask the pharmacist, tell him you have a latex allergy and he will show you what else is available and there are other products because latex allergy is quite common.
51:37
Adam
They also have a popular brand of latex rubber that is lined in felt that you can use, like a cigar box. Okay. All right, Dan. Okay, thanks. Hey, Dan. No problem there. There you go. Well, why do we have to tell him that? He's allergic to latex. He doesn't know there's polyurethane rubbers.
51:58
Dr. Bruce
I don't know. That's many people don't ask.
52:01
Adam
Listen, but those things are around, right? Oh, yeah. Just go pick them up. You don't need a prescription or anything. Nicky?
52:07
Yeah.
52:08
Adam
You're 18. What's up?
52:10
Caller
Well, I've had this boyfriend for like two years, and I've been best friends with this girl named Jessie for like six years, and we've been attracted to each other, and recently we've been messing around, and I think I'm kind of falling in love with her, and I don't know what to do with my boyfriend.
52:24
Adam
Yeah. You think you're a lesbian?
52:26
Caller
I don't think I'm a lesbian. I just, he doesn't like it. He doesn't want me to be like that with her, and I like men and women, so.
52:34
Adam
Does he know about it?
52:35
Caller
No.
52:36
Adam
Well, then how does he know to say he doesn't like it?
52:39
Caller
Because when he met me, he knew that I was into girls too.
52:43
Adam
Oh, really?
52:44
Dr. Bruce
So he just doesn't know about it.
52:45
Caller
He wanted me to stop while we were together.
52:46
Adam
How long have you been into girls?
52:49
Caller
Since I was probably like 14, that's when I had my first experience.
52:52
Adam
What happened to you growing up?
52:55
Caller
What do you mean?
52:56
Adam
You know what I mean.
52:57
Caller
Who messed with me? Yeah. How do you know these things actually?
53:03
Adam
It's kind of easy.
53:04
Caller
Somebody, my mom, was babysitting. She used to mess around with me when I was smaller, when I was younger, when I was like nine.
53:11
Adam
How old were they?
53:13
Caller
He was like 13.
53:14
Adam
Yeah. Well, that'll do it.
53:16
Dr. Bruce
Did it ever get reported or did you just talk to anybody about it?
53:19
Caller
Yeah. We had counseling and stuff like that.
53:21
Adam
All right. That's good.
53:23
Caller
I'm okay.
53:24
Adam
All right.
53:25
Dr. Bruce
Well, but you're not okay with the situation now. And what are you going to do with the boyfriend? You can't add a third partner into a relationship that's a guaranteed destruction of the relationship, whether it's gay or straight or whatever the combination might be. And this may be related to what happened earlier on rather than something else. So can you see somebody now to work through this with, to see a counselor or, I mean, you know, your boyfriend finds out, if you're interested in somebody, it's not going to go away, it's not, you can't just turn off the feelings.
53:57
Adam
You've had two years, 16 to 18, that's plenty long with a boyfriend. You got to break up with him.
54:03
Caller
You think I should break up with him for her?
54:05
Adam
No, you should just break up with him because you're done with the relationship.
54:10
Caller
Oh, okay, I see, you don't believe in long-term. Because he wants to get married.
54:14
Adam
Yeah, I believe in long-term when one of the partners is not screwing around with somebody.
54:20
Caller
Oh, okay, I see.
54:21
Well, I don't know.
54:23
Dr. Bruce
Well, it doesn't sound like the foundation for a long-term relationship, does it?
54:27
Caller
No, not really. It's not like, you know, I don't think it's that serious between me and her, it's just that I don't want to have to hide it. But he won't go for it for some reason, he thinks it's disgusting.
54:38
Adam
Listen, listen, Nikki, you're trying to get out of this relationship, believe me. So why don't you just be a big girl and get out of it, all right?
54:49
Caller
Okay.
54:50
Adam
All right, goofball, you don't need somebody all the time, you know, you can take a little break sometimes.
54:57
Caller
Yeah.
54:57
Adam
Yeah. I know it sounds out of the question, but you're allowed to take a couple months off, you know, be on your own, do a little thinking, that kind of thing. Yeah. All right.
55:06
Dr. Bruce
It really sounds like you should talk to somebody again.
55:08
Adam
Now, let me tell you, when you're bi, that's it, there's no downtime. There's go downtime, but there's no downtime. Yeah. I'm allowed to make a bad pun joke every once in a while. I mean, and listen, all you bi people, please, when you tell your partner I'm bi going into the relationship, you're saying you're going to cheat. You absolutely are. Otherwise, why bring it up? Who are you kidding with that nonsense? That is ridiculous, all that bi stuff.
55:39
Dr. Bruce
Well, maybe she thought it was something attractive to this guy.
55:44
Adam
Obviously, she found out it was wrong.
55:46
Dr. Bruce
Or he's found out that it's wrong.
55:48
Adam
Guys, you guys that are bi, I ain't buying it.
55:53
Caller
He's bisexual.
55:54
Adam
Bi is gay. Bi is a gay with a publicist, I like to say. When you say you're bi, you're saying bi-bi to heterosexuality and hello to homo. That's what I say.
56:06
Dr. Bruce
How many more puns do you think you can get out of this?
56:11
Adam
I think that's good. I think three or four is probably enough for the bi. Tony?
56:16
Caller
Yeah.
56:17
Adam
You're 18.
56:18
Caller
Hey. I actually lied to get on air.
56:20
Adam
All right.
56:21
Caller
You like what my problem is?
56:24
What?
56:26
Adam
He takes cramps off roofs. Well, he probably does. Fundamentally, I don't have a problem with it all. It's just that you got to use the word crap. You can't use the word ass on the radio. That's all. Well, I'm trying to think if I ever took a dump off a roof.
56:42
Dr. Bruce
Well, you're like you'd fall after it.
56:45
Adam
Yeah. Well, maybe I'd break my fall if I landed in it, though. You ever think about that?
56:50
Dr. Bruce
Oh, beautiful mental picture.
56:52
Adam
Little hepatitis air mattress there. Lauren?
56:55
Yeah.
56:55
Adam
You're 17.
56:56
Caller
Yeah.
56:58
Adam
You sleep around?
57:00
Caller
Okay, no. She took that the wrong way.
57:02
Adam
Oh, I see.
57:03
Caller
I don't exactly sleep around. I just kind of wanted to know like all my friends have been wanting me to call in. I guess I don't know if I'm like a rebel or whatever revolting from the family, but I guess I'm pretty easygoing as far as it is with guys. I mean, I like to have fun and I'm not really into like the relationship thing.
57:21
Adam
Yeah.
57:22
Caller
And I've never been abused, anything like that. And I guess my friends want to know why. I'm just like, I'm very open with guys. I don't have problems doing a lot of things.
57:36
Adam
What do you mean by that?
57:40
Caller
I mean, I've only had sex with one person.
57:43
Adam
All right.
57:44
Caller
And I'm not, I mean, I don't sleep around or anything like that. I don't mean, I guess you could say, I guess I give a lot of head.
57:50
Adam
Oh, you do?
57:50
Caller
Yeah.
57:51
Adam
Well, same with Bruce. No big deal. I don't hold it against him.
57:55
Caller
Classy. But I mean, I don't, I mean, it's something I've never really understood why I'm so like willing to do these things. And I don't like the whole like long term relationship deal. I don't like, I've only had one serious boyfriend and really nothing happened with that. I'm more of like the guys that I hang out with are like kind of like a hookup thing. You know what I mean?
58:13
Adam
Yeah. For how many guys you giving a BJ to?
58:17
Caller
Well, I mean, it's not just like any random guy, but I mean, I've given a lot.
58:22
Dr. Bruce
Okay. So it's more than a handshake, but-
58:25
Adam
How many guys you think?
58:26
Caller
Probably. I mean, maybe like 12. I mean, it's not that many, but I mean, for the girls my age that I'm talking to, but half of them haven't even done that.
58:35
Adam
Yeah, you're getting up there.
58:36
Caller
Yeah.
58:37
Adam
All right.
58:37
Dr. Bruce
What? Now, how did you feel when in the White House news there, they were talking about oral sex as grounds, same thing as adultery or really the same thing as having sex?
58:48
Caller
I believe that as far as being like married and stuff like that. I mean, I do definitely think that that's cheating on someone, and I don't-
58:55
Dr. Bruce
So you recognize a fairly significant level of intimacy when you're performing oral sex on someone?
59:00
Caller
Definitely.
59:01
Dr. Bruce
Okay, so it sounds like have a concern that maybe you have a problem with a boundary there in terms of you don't have, yeah.
59:09
Caller
Why am I so easy to do that kind of stuff?
59:11
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, because that, I mean, that, you know, it is a significant interaction with somebody on a very intimate level, and it doesn't sound like you have, it sounds like you have the feeling that this isn't right and that there's something that's causing this to be a problem for you, so-
59:28
Caller
Right, and I don't know, I mean, back to the thing, I don't know if they say it, like, whatever my little, like, profile, whatever, is, like, the masturbation thing, like, for a girl, I don't even know if that's normal, I mean, I masturbate a lot for a girl.
59:40
Dr. Bruce
Several times a day, or?
59:41
Caller
Probably at least twice a day.
59:43
Adam
At least?
59:44
Caller
At least.
59:44
Adam
Wow.
59:45
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, and for some people that have issues with, it doesn't sound, well, it sounds like you need to talk to somebody, because there are many directions we could go with this, and there are a lot of questions I'd like to ask you, but I don't think Adam would-
59:57
Adam
No, I would not permit it.
59:58
Dr. Bruce
He wouldn't suffer.
1:00:00
Adam
I won't tolerate anyone being helped on this show.
1:00:03
Dr. Bruce
But, Lauren, you sound like you're real communicative. It sounds like you really are searching for answers, and you want to get some help. I think you need to talk to somebody, and it can get to the point where you have what's considered a sexual addiction, and you can get addicted to your own dopamine, your own pleasure hormones, and you can start to escape to a place where pleasuring yourself is a place you go where it always feels good, and you're escaping from something else. So there are a lot of things to explore here.
1:00:31
Adam
All right. But there's definitely something up, Lauren.
1:00:34
Dr. Bruce
There is.
1:00:34
Adam
You got to look into it.
1:00:35
Caller
Who do I talk to for that?
1:00:38
Adam
Don't talk to one of the guys you're blowing.
1:00:40
Caller
Obviously.
1:00:40
Dr. Bruce
No.
1:00:41
Caller
Stick away from that.
1:00:43
Dr. Bruce
School counselor, do you have a gynecologist? You must have had a gynecologic exam at some point, a pelvic exam. Are you comfortable with that doctor? A lady doctor. Somebody who's either a doctor that deals with teenagers that does adolescent medicine or a gynecologist or a school counselor that you're comfortable with. It sounds like maybe talking to a woman would be more comfortable, but don't underestimate the ability of somebody.
1:01:08
Adam
Aren't all female doctors East Indian? You know what I mean? Don't have any white ones, do they? What's up with white chicks? They're not smart enough to be doctors? Aren't they all Indians? Well, yeah.
1:01:25
Dr. Bruce
It reminds me of the time when No Doubt was here and you had a comment about Indians. Well, you got in a lot of trouble that time. So why do you pursue these racially tainted comments that are...
1:01:37
Adam
Why is it a racially tainted comment to...
1:01:40
Dr. Bruce
All white Indian, which...
1:01:44
Adam
Yeah, I know. Listen.
1:01:45
Dr. Bruce
Do you remember your 7-Eleven comment?
1:01:47
Adam
Listen, all you retards who don't admit there's any difference between any cultures or that certain cultures don't have a greater capacity for certain things. You're sadly mistaken. Just look around. Now, you work with a lot of Eastern Indian doctors, right? Female. Female. Sure.
1:02:10
Dr. Bruce
Let's see. Describe East India. Which country in East?
1:02:14
Adam
India.
1:02:16
Dr. Bruce
India.
1:02:17
Adam
Yeah. Female doctors. They're all Indian. They're not. Any one under 40.
1:02:23
Dr. Bruce
Okay.
1:02:24
Adam
All right.
1:02:24
Dr. Bruce
Now, let's talk about inhaling computer.
1:02:27
Caller
All right.
1:02:27
Adam
I'm just saying it's harder to talk about these things with them because they come from a different culture. They don't understand it.
1:02:34
Caller
Yeah.
1:02:34
Adam
Thank you. You're 19.
1:02:36
Caller
Yeah.
1:02:37
Adam
Yeah. What's up?
1:02:38
Caller
Well, I've been in kind of in the past couple weeks, I've been inhaling computer air.
1:02:44
Adam
Yeah.
1:02:45
Caller
Is that bad for you?
1:02:46
Adam
Computer air?
1:02:47
Caller
Yeah.
1:02:47
Dr. Bruce
The computer cleaner.
1:02:48
Caller
Yeah.
1:02:49
Dr. Bruce
Anything like that, there's no difference between inhaling that, spray paint, gasoline, any volatile solvent type substance is really bad. It's really addictive.
1:03:05
Adam
Yeah.
1:03:06
Dr. Bruce
Kids that inhale gasoline early on or spray paint have a much higher incidence of alcoholism and drug addiction later on. I mean, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
1:03:13
Adam
Listen, son of Tardo, if you're so desperate and so effed up that you're 14 and you're sucking on a can of quick start from the automotive section of the Pep Boys, because you're trying to get a little ether buzz going, I'd say you're heading down a road to addiction. I'm not surprised that that person ends up being an alcoholic, but I don't think the hoofing is what got him onto the alcohol. It's the fact they were going to, they had a predetermined date with alcoholism already. All right.
1:03:47
Dr. Bruce
So this guy's 19, though. You wonder where he's been the last five or six years drinking or... All right. I had a kid whose drug of choice was whiteout fluid, and that was it. And we detoxed him. I mean, there wasn't much detox.
1:04:00
Adam
What did he do? Just paint his tongue with it?
1:04:02
Dr. Bruce
No. I mean, there are various ways people that abuse inhalants have special ways...
1:04:07
Adam
How do you abuse the whiteout fluid?
1:04:10
Dr. Bruce
He was just inhaling it. I think they've changed the formula so that it's not quite the same. But anyway, so this kid, he went through a 30-day program, and his slippery place wasn't a bar. It wasn't behind the school. It was office supply area of the store.
1:04:23
Adam
It was staples.
1:04:24
Dr. Bruce
Yeah. But for Caesar, how to stop? Let's, can we just?
1:04:28
Adam
All right.
1:04:29
Dr. Bruce
Caesar.
1:04:30
Caller
Yeah?
1:04:30
Dr. Bruce
Any history of addictions, alcoholism, in yourself or your family? Parents, grandparents?
1:04:35
Caller
No. My dad drinks, but it's every once in a while. It's not that much.
1:04:41
Dr. Bruce
Okay, let me just cut to the chase. A computer cleaner, whatever solvent it is you're inhaling, it's just like taking any other drug. It's like if it were heroin, alcohol, it really doesn't matter. And if you feel like you're needing to do that, you can get addicted to something the first time you use it. So if it's something that makes you feel good, if it whatever it's doing for you, how to stop you got it. If you're feeling like having a problem stopping, you got to talk to somebody that works with people with addictions.
1:05:09
Adam
What about going to one of some sort of a CA meeting, like computer cleaners anonymous or something.
1:05:17
Dr. Bruce
At AA you'll find people that abuse multiple substances.
1:05:20
Adam
So what you do? Go to an AA meeting and get started there?
1:05:25
Dr. Bruce
AA is fine, but I mean I'm not sure where he's at with this. If he could talk to a counselor or a therapist.
1:05:30
Adam
Go to AA meeting. Tell them what you're doing. Chris?
1:05:33
Caller
Yes.
1:05:34
Adam
You're 20.
1:05:35
Caller
Yes.
1:05:35
Adam
What's up?
1:05:36
Caller
Well, I recently had sex with my manager. I work at Burger King and she's a little bit older than me. And she's married and I've been feeling pretty guilty about it lately. I was just wondering how I should approach her husband. I want to come clean, kind of get it off my conscience.
1:05:53
Adam
You think that's a wise plan?
1:05:55
Caller
I don't know, but I just can't. I don't think I can live with it anymore. I'm feeling pretty guilty.
1:06:00
Adam
Do you like her?
1:06:02
Caller
No, not any more than the one time.
1:06:04
Adam
Where did you have sex with her?
1:06:06
Caller
At Burger King.
1:06:07
Adam
Where at Burger King?
1:06:08
Caller
In the bathroom.
1:06:13
Adam
Did you just pull your plastic smock up? Or how did that work? Is it after hours?
1:06:19
Caller
Yeah, we were both working late. We were closing. There was one other person working with us and he was outside smoking. She came on to me, just actually started rubbing herself up against me. We just went back into the bathroom.
1:06:32
Dr. Bruce
Okay, Chris.
1:06:33
Adam
Shush, I'm still in the moment here. Hey, what's up with you guys and your overcapacity for the ketchup use over there? You guys go pretty heavy on the ketchup on those burgers over at Burger King.
1:06:46
Caller
We do. We enjoy ketchup.
1:06:47
Adam
I like Burger King because they're charbroiled.
1:06:50
Caller
Exactly.
1:06:51
Adam
But you go nuts with the goddamn ketchup over there. It's like you're trying to get rid of the stuff. Easy.
1:06:57
Caller
We have a little bit too much.
1:06:58
Adam
Yeah. Let me explain ketchup for a second.
1:07:01
Caller
Please.
1:07:01
Adam
It's nice to have the flavor of it, but you don't want the panties swimming in the stuff. It gets all over the lettuce and the onion and things start wilting and it soaks into the bun and the bun gets doughy.
1:07:13
Dr. Bruce
I want to talk about onion rings.
1:07:14
Adam
You go lighten up on the ketchup over there.
1:07:16
Dr. Bruce
Lighten up on the grease and the onion rings.
1:07:18
Caller
Well, you guys will have to come to Carson City and I can hook you up.
1:07:20
Adam
Oh, yeah. It's beautiful country over there. It is. Now, but listen, Chris, your instinct to tell her husband is a very bad instinct.
1:07:32
Dr. Bruce
It's a very good instinct. It's a good instinct, but I don't know that I...
1:07:36
Adam
It's a good instinct that you feel some guilt and some remorse and that you may be playing a part in breaking up some relationship or something like that. But practically telling him, A, could lead to some real problems. People have been killed over last. Absolutely. And B, you're essentially throwing a rock at a beehive where they're all dormant. And they may just come out and chase you into the lake like the hams bear. So here's my point. You're not interested in her? Nope. Good. Let it go.
1:08:12
Dr. Bruce
Well, the sexual harassment sound... I mean, this is his boss. So we don't want to go down that road.
1:08:17
Adam
Just leave it alone.
1:08:18
Dr. Bruce
Well, you have your own moral value system and you have guilt. How do you normally deal with guilt?
1:08:26
Caller
How do I normally deal with it?
1:08:27
Dr. Bruce
Do you go to church?
1:08:29
Caller
I usually confront it.
1:08:30
Dr. Bruce
Okay. Well, but if it's something to do with... No, listen to me.
1:08:35
Adam
Just wait.
1:08:35
Dr. Bruce
If it's something to do with God or it's not, there are ways to acknowledge that you've done something wrong. Making amends does not always mean going to that person. Even in 12-step programs, you have to look at the consequences of making amends. It sounds like you feel...
1:08:49
Adam
I'll tell you a good place to start with the ketchup. Stop putting so much ketchup on it. There's a way you could repay society.
1:08:56
Dr. Bruce
Why don't you send Adam a whopper with no ketchup through the mail and he will get it here and I'll see to it that he eats it.
1:09:03
Caller
That'd be pretty gross.
1:09:04
Adam
I will do it. Hey, and Chris, what's up with you? You're 20 and you got a boss over at the Burger King?
1:09:09
Caller
I have a what?
1:09:10
Dr. Bruce
Your supervisor.
1:09:12
Adam
It's a bad sign when you're into your 20s and you got a boss over there at the Burger King.
1:09:17
Caller
Oh, yeah, well, it's a night job, I do.
1:09:20
Dr. Bruce
How long ago did this happen?
1:09:22
Caller
It was about two months ago.
1:09:23
Adam
What's going on during the day for you?
1:09:25
Caller
I'm just going to school.
1:09:26
Adam
I see, junior college?
1:09:27
Caller
Yeah.
1:09:28
Adam
All right, that's fine.
1:09:29
Caller
I know you hate junior colleges.
1:09:30
Adam
Ah, for you it's fine, you're over there in Carson.
1:09:32
Caller
Yeah, that's right.
1:09:33
Adam
All right, just hurry up and graduate and get the hell out of there. All right. Listen, do not bring anything up to her husband. Have you ever met her husband?
1:09:40
Caller
Yeah, two times.
1:09:41
Adam
Yeah, do you have any beef with him?
1:09:43
Caller
No, we're pretty cool, actually.
1:09:44
Adam
Good, stay out of it.
1:09:46
Caller
All right.
1:09:46
Adam
That's it.
1:09:47
Caller
Got it, man.
1:09:47
Adam
All right, good. Easy on the catch.
1:09:50
Dr. Bruce
That was his absolution or his confession here, so.
1:09:54
Adam
Yeah, that's right. You absolve you of all sin. Thank you.
1:09:58
Dr. Bruce
Thank you for that.
1:09:59
Adam
Sharon? Yeah. We're going to take a little break here, but you're 14? Yeah. You lost your virginity? When was that?
1:10:07
Caller
About a month ago.
1:10:08
Adam
I see. How old was the guy? Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy. Nothing wrong with a more mature guy who dropped out of high school eight years ago having sex with you.
1:10:19
Dr. Bruce
Nothing wrong with a child molester with a sexually transmitted disease. Look, we want to talk to you, so stay on the line because Adam is going to take a break.
1:10:24
Adam
Okay.
1:10:25
Caller
Yeah.
1:10:25
Adam
Yeah. Guess what? You're taking a break, too. After this, we'll be back.
1:10:31
Caller
Yo, Loveline will be right back, homie.
1:11:11
Adam
It is The Love Line. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Bruce over there, filling in for Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. I want to thank Mickey Wartell, who sent me a lovely book, a birthday present, a little bit of an early birthday present. That's a book called Sex for One, The Joy of Self-Loving. It's illustrated, and I was just perusing the pages here and becoming nauseated by these horrible drawings of people doing things to themselves with vibrators and the like. Listen, y'all, don't need to read a book on what to do with the junk on my own. I really don't. You're writing a book about how to satisfy yourself when you're masturbating. It's like, let me tell you where this book's going to come in handy. How many pages? Oh, no. How many pages we got here? We got a hundred and sixty, a hundred and seventy-seven pages. Good. That means I can whack off a hundred and seventy-seven times if I tear out each page and use it as a bib. That is as much use as I'm going to get out of this book. You might as well write a book on a breaking wind or growing your fingernails.
1:12:33
Dr. Bruce
You started out, now you totally trashed this guy that sends you this book.
1:12:36
Adam
No, I appreciate Mickey for sending me the book and it's the thought that counts, but listen, the day I read a book on how to whack off, the day I kill myself.
1:12:48
Dr. Bruce
Sort of an insult, you're the master.
1:12:50
Adam
Please.
1:12:50
Dr. Bruce
Masterbater.
1:12:51
Adam
Yeah, it's like asking Bruce Lee to come join your new Karate Academy so you can show them the ropes, you know.
1:13:01
Dr. Bruce
Offhand compliment gone awry.
1:13:04
Adam
Yeah, offhand is a good way to put it. Shan, I'm fascinated that people will even write a ridiculous book like this.
1:13:12
Dr. Bruce
You'll read every word of that book and never tell us.
1:13:15
Adam
As you know, I believe reading poisons the mind. I read nothing. I barely know how to read. I don't enjoy it at all. And I would certainly not read a book on masturbation. And again, it's amazing. And all those books on like Tantric Sex and how to bring your part and all that stuff. It's just such a load of crap. Please stop writing books on that nonsense.
1:13:38
Dr. Bruce
See Grandiosity, Narcissism.
1:13:41
Adam
Thank you. You have. Well, as I told Drew last week, it takes a great man to admit when he's great. Sharon, you're 14. What's up?
1:13:51
Caller
I had sex a month ago.
1:13:53
Adam
That's right. With a 22 year old. Yeah. Where'd you meet that piece of work?
1:13:57
Caller
At a party.
1:13:58
Adam
Good times. And you are, I'm hoping you were 14 at the time. You weren't 13, were you?
1:14:04
Caller
No, I was 14.
1:14:05
Adam
Okay. Well, then that's fine. And have you spoke to him since?
1:14:10
Caller
Well, I kind of saw him on and off like every weekend for like a month and then we did it like after that.
1:14:16
Adam
Yeah.
1:14:17
Caller
So I haven't seen him since. No, I...
1:14:18
Adam
What's wrong with him?
1:14:20
Caller
He's in a band. I don't know.
1:14:22
Adam
Oh, he's in a band. Oh, great. What kind of music do they play?
1:14:26
Caller
Like punk.
1:14:27
Adam
Oh, good. Well, at least he's setting quite an example.
1:14:30
Dr. Bruce
Where are your parents? Do you live at home?
1:14:32
Caller
Yeah.
1:14:33
Caller
Are they...
1:14:34
Dr. Bruce
What's the problem? Because it doesn't sound like you're very well supervised.
1:14:38
Caller
Um, my older sister's kind of whacked out, and my dad lives in Vegas. I don't really see him all that much.
1:14:43
Adam
All right. Good.
1:14:44
Dr. Bruce
Okay, look, I mean, it's like an emergency thing. You got to get checked out right away, because the, you know...
1:14:50
Caller
Well, we used a condom. We did safe and everything, so I don't know what I could have.
1:14:54
Dr. Bruce
Well, I, you know, I hate to tell you the condoms, they can break, they can leak. If you have... If it hurts to pee, it sounds like you have a urinary tract infection.
1:15:02
Caller
No, no, no. It only, like, it stings my vagina. It's not anything about...
1:15:07
Dr. Bruce
You know, it doesn't matter. You don't have to have a discharge.
1:15:10
Adam
What the F does that mean? No, no, no. It doesn't hurt to pee. It stings my vagina.
1:15:14
Dr. Bruce
Okay.
1:15:15
Adam
When you pee, right?
1:15:17
Caller
Yeah.
1:15:18
Dr. Bruce
And here's the thing. By the book, this may not strike you as being true, but you're 14, he's 22, you've been molested basically. Okay.
1:15:28
Caller
Oh, don't say that. Well, I look a lot older than, like, I...
1:15:31
Dr. Bruce
Right, but your brain is 14, okay?
1:15:34
Adam
Your brain may be 12.
1:15:35
Dr. Bruce
And this guy's brain is shriveled, also. I mean, this guy is a predator, and there are reasons for there being laws, and you need to be protected from people like that. That's what your parents are supposed to be doing.
1:15:47
Adam
All right, listen, Sharon, you gotta go get checked out. Probably urinary tract infection, but you gotta get checked out, and calm yourself down just a little bit, would you, hot pants?
1:15:57
Dr. Bruce
You're 14.
1:15:58
Adam
Don't be, you're heading down a very slippery slope here.
1:16:02
Caller
Yeah, can I ask another question too, real quick? Yeah.
1:16:05
Caller
I felt hot like a lot, and I've been bleeding out of my butt for, I don't know, a week.
1:16:13
Adam
You've been bleeding out of your butt? Hey, Sharon? Yeah. What's that have to do with smoking the pot though?
1:16:22
Dr. Bruce
Well, she wonders if it does have something to do with it. Okay, how long have you been smoking pot?
1:16:27
Caller
About a year.
1:16:29
Dr. Bruce
Every day, or?
1:16:30
Caller
No, no, like once every two, three weeks, I guess.
1:16:33
Dr. Bruce
Okay.
1:16:34
Adam
I'd love to give your dad a good ass-kicking. I really would. Oh. What a horrible, wretched job he's done as a father.
1:16:42
Dr. Bruce
Is there a responsible adult in your life that you can talk to?
1:16:46
Caller
I don't know.
1:16:47
Dr. Bruce
Somebody that-
1:16:47
Adam
Where's your mom?
1:16:49
Caller
Sleeping.
1:16:50
Adam
I see.
1:16:51
Caller
Lives with me.
1:16:52
Adam
I write that down. Sleeping.
1:16:54
Dr. Bruce
Right. At school, is there a school-
1:16:55
Adam
Hold on a second. Can you confide in your mother?
1:16:58
Caller
No. We had a huge fight and there was a big issue over Christmas and I went to the hospital and we don't really talk at all.
1:17:05
Dr. Bruce
How about a school teacher that you trust?
1:17:07
Caller
Hold on.
1:17:07
Dr. Bruce
Hold on.
1:17:07
Adam
Hold on. Chush up. Why did you go to the hospital?
1:17:11
Caller
An overdose. A drug overdose.
1:17:12
Adam
Oh, I see. Around Christmas time.
1:17:14
Caller
Yeah.
1:17:15
Adam
Well, that's a nice stocking stuffer. You're going to have to get back into something here, Sharon. You know what I'm saying? First, you got to go get a physical. I mean, you got to get your ass looked at and you got to listen. As long as they're down at the vagina, if they just drop another inch and a half, they're right at the ass, they take care of that.
1:17:33
Caller
I've never been to a gynecologist or anything.
1:17:35
Dr. Bruce
All right.
1:17:36
Adam
OK.
1:17:36
Dr. Bruce
How about family planning clinic? Do you know where there's one near you?
1:17:39
Caller
Yeah.
1:17:40
Dr. Bruce
OK. You don't need parental consent. You need to get checked out. Go there. These are people that do this every day. They're good at holding your hand, telling you exactly what's going on and making it as comfortable as possible. And you need to get checked out. You don't know what exactly you contracted, if you contracted anything. But it's not normal to have pain anywhere down there. And as far as blood in your stool or blood coming from your rectum, you have to have that checked out, too. I mean, it's very unlikely it's cancer, hemorrhoids, fissures. There are many things that can cause it. But you have to have it looked into. And a schoolteacher, a minister.
1:18:14
Adam
You've got to have prostate cancer.
1:18:16
Dr. Bruce
Yeah. If you don't have a parent, you're out there. You don't have a parent that's a responsible parent. And to have an adult that has good boundaries and that has a healthy life themselves, that you can get to know and talk to about things like this for any teenager that has that kind of a home life, it can save you a lot of grief.
1:18:34
Adam
I'm Pray Rosie Adopzer. That's where I'm at. And listen, let me send a quick message to all you pathetic fathers out there who sire a couple of kids and then move out of town and start your new life with your new wife and your new family that you'll eventually screw up sooner than later too. Here's basically what you leave behind. You leave behind a dummy that gets humped or raped by 22-year-old punk rockers and have passed around parties like a joint at a Doobie Brothers reunion concert. You cowards make me sick.
1:19:13
Dr. Bruce
Can you send a message to 22-year-olds that do this?
1:19:17
Adam
Listen, all you brain dead retards that are banging around on these 14-year-old victims at age 22, I know it seems like easy pickings for you, but like I said, wouldn't it just be easier to head down the morgue and get yourself someone who's not going to put up a fight? Or how about the mental institution? You can find someone who cracked their head on the coping of a pool and is brain dead, and just pull the respirator out and shove your red dick in there every once in a while. Pathetic.
1:19:47
Dr. Bruce
I agree with you for once.
1:19:49
Adam
Anderson, don't worry about it. We're in the safe harbor. I'm allowed to say that. You guys make me sick, and really what you're doing is you're victimizing victims. You're taking people that are already down and you're getting a little lower on. You're getting them a little lower. It's like you're taking a poor person and you're cheating them out of money.
1:20:07
Dr. Bruce
It even pisses God off.
1:20:08
Adam
I hope you feel real good about it. Well, I wish there was a God so they'd punish people like this. I really do. Dad and all the victimizers who come around after this. But it's mainly the dad that I'm PO'd at. Just stop having kids for Christ's sake. And if you do have them, be man enough to take care of them, you pussies. Micah?
1:20:29
Caller
Yeah?
1:20:31
Adam
Anderson, don't worry about the foul language over there, please.
1:20:35
Dr. Bruce
It's righteous indignation, Anderson.
1:20:36
Adam
Yeah, I'm trying to make a point. Thank you. You're 13. What's up?
1:20:41
Caller
Uh, I can't even explain it. Like, like my cousin, his is big and everything, and he's got hair growing, and he's only like a couple months older than me, and I got like no hair down there, and it's like really small and everything.
1:20:53
Adam
That's all right.
1:20:54
Dr. Bruce
You're just as normal as your cousin.
1:20:55
Adam
That's right, except for he's got a big penis and plenty of hair.
1:20:59
Caller
Yeah.
1:20:59
Caller
Yeah.
1:21:00
Dr. Bruce
Listen.
1:21:01
Adam
Don't worry. It'll never come in.
1:21:02
Dr. Bruce
No, listen, what makes, what makes your penis grow, the hair grow down there, it's hormones, okay? And the hormones kick in at different ages for different kids. We can find a 14 year old, a 15 year old that's in the same position you are. It's a matter of different people have different bodies and the hormones are different. And it's frustrating, even embarrassing when you got to go in the locker room and this guy is starting to develop. And one of the first things in males that starts to develop when the hormones start flowing, the genitalia gets a little larger and it's sort of intimidating for somebody like Micah. But it will grow. And I guarantee you, within a year, you're going to have some hair down there and you will have a solution to this problem. Yeah.
1:21:43
Adam
Yeah. I guarantee Bruce was a late bloomer.
1:21:48
Dr. Bruce
I hated the locker. I hated swimming.
1:21:50
Adam
His pubes were like candles on a birthday cake. At 15, he had 15. At 19, he had 19 hairs, right? Am I right?
1:21:58
Dr. Bruce
No, no, no. It was exponential growth of the hair down there. Let me tell you. You're wasting it on your head, buddy. You probably, I don't want to know what's going on down below.
1:22:08
Adam
You probably got one of those big orange bozo patches. There's nothing more bizarre than seeing a true redhead downstairs, especially when it gets in that sort of a day glow orange, that novelty orange hair down there. That's funny. You know what's funny about the redheads, Bruce? Bruce is a redhead over there. Thank God the hair on his head is shifting to a slightly more auburn red instead of that life preserver orange that he had earlier.
1:22:35
Dr. Bruce
You're not as attracted to that, are you?
1:22:37
Adam
No, I like the new Bruce.
1:22:39
Dr. Bruce
Oh my God.
1:22:40
Adam
I really do. But seriously, Bruce, back me up on this. A lot of guys especially have the red hair down. Here's what I want to say.
1:22:51
Dr. Bruce
Will you stop stuttering?
1:22:52
Adam
All right, hear me out.
1:22:53
Dr. Bruce
You sound like me.
1:22:54
Adam
People that are blonde haired, when you talk about the hair downstairs, it's usually a little darker and not quite as blonde as the hair on their head. Thank you. You agree with that?
1:23:07
Dr. Bruce
What's the end of your study? I mean, how many people-
1:23:09
Adam
Do you know what I'm talking about? Would you say that's a true statement? Yes, you would.
1:23:13
Dr. Bruce
I'd say you've had a lot more experience observing.
1:23:15
Adam
Just say yes, you retard.
1:23:17
Dr. Bruce
Yes, you retard.
1:23:18
Adam
Okay. But people who are redheaded on top, on the head, down there, it's novelty orange down there. It is clown orange. You know what I mean? It is way over the top. It's not darker. It's brighter. Is that how you are?
1:23:37
Dr. Bruce
I'm fluorescent down there, Adam, but you're never going to see it.
1:23:40
Adam
You're like a beacon.
1:23:41
Dr. Bruce
Now, one of the few things I remember you saying that I thought was funny was maybe a year ago or so, something about a gecko.
1:23:46
Adam
Few things? How dare you?
1:23:47
Dr. Bruce
Something about a gecko in the forest or the pubic area of your butt or something like that. It was just a hilarious comment. Now, I still wonder what was with the animal life living in your pubic forest.
1:23:57
Adam
Let's not shift to my anus. It's so convenient. It's so easy for you to go to my ass.
1:24:02
Dr. Bruce
Hey, somebody told me you were making fun of me on the air last week. I just have to, I'm just curious, you know, because I've missed the show one or two days.
1:24:10
Adam
Sure.
1:24:11
Dr. Bruce
What were you saying about me?
1:24:12
Adam
I have no idea. Yeah, I'm sure it was bad, whatever it was.
1:24:15
Caller
Anderson, who was that imitating you, actually?
1:24:17
Adam
Oh, I was?
1:24:17
Caller
You were talking about a phone call that you made to him?
1:24:20
Caller
Went something like this?
1:24:21
Adam
Hey, buddy of mine has bought a helicopter. He's taken off out of Van Nuys in about 45 minutes. I want to know if you want to go check out San Fernando Valley with me.
1:24:34
Dr. Bruce
That's what you said?
1:24:36
Adam
I guess I did. I don't remember. Oh, it's all out of love for you, Dr. Bruce. Jay?
1:24:43
Caller
Hey.
1:24:44
Adam
Hey, Spunky.
1:24:46
Caller
What's up?
1:24:47
Adam
You're 17?
1:24:48
Caller
17 from Phoenix.
1:24:49
Adam
Yeah. What's your question?
1:24:51
Caller
Okay. Well, I started using Ecstasy about two months ago, and I've been doing it every weekend. I do like one pill a weekend, right? Yeah. Well, at the raves, we use Icy Hot on our bodies, and it feels really, really good. And ever since then, I've had this strange kind of a, I've been wanting to use Icy Hot as like a sexual lubricant, like really bad.
1:25:15
Adam
Yeah.
1:25:15
Caller
And I wanted to know if something, something harmful could happen there, like a sort of infection.
1:25:21
Adam
No.
1:25:21
Dr. Bruce
No.
1:25:22
Adam
You should gargle with Drano while you're at it. Right.
1:25:25
Dr. Bruce
Good analogy.
1:25:26
Adam
Hold on a second. We got to take ourselves a little break. It's funny. She said she's calling from Phoenix. I was watching, I was watching the dating game like two days ago, and the couple that won, they sent to Tucson. And I thought, why don't you just send them a pistol and tell them to kill themselves. Imagine you win a game show, you send you to Tucson.
1:25:50
Dr. Bruce
The Chamber of Commerce will be sending you letters tomorrow.
1:25:53
Adam
Oh, that's a big dust bowl. I mean, can you imagine? You're sending to Tucson? Where do you gotta live that being sent to Tucson is a treat? You gotta live in a refrigerator box on the surface of the sun. What kind of asshole you gotta be in?
1:26:11
Dr. Bruce
You know what I'm saying? GIO It's a beautiful place.
1:26:13
Adam
GIO Tucson's alright, but I mean, certainly...
1:26:15
Dr. Bruce
GIO Isn't that where Linda McCartney wanted to go? Isn't that where she went to die?
1:26:18
Adam
GIO Wherever you live is better in Tucson. Trust me.
1:26:21
Dr. Bruce
GIO Beautiful place.
1:26:22
Adam
GIO Listen, if they're doing the newlywed game in Beirut, then I can see you sending them to Tucson. But when you're filming it out here in Southern California, what the hell do you need to go to Tucson for?
1:26:33
Dr. Bruce
GIO They don't have the budget that Loveline does.
1:26:34
Adam
GIO Alright, we'll take a little break.
1:26:39
Caller
Love Line with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew.
1:27:15
Adam
Yeah, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew. Dr. Bruce, pardon me, over there. Dr. Drew is away. It is a college reunion at Amherst in Boston. Bruce, where did you go to college?
1:27:30
Dr. Bruce
I think there's some liability if I mention it on the internet.
1:27:32
Adam
Oh, shut up. It's probably some dump that no one's heard of.
1:27:36
Dr. Bruce
Andrews University in Michigan.
1:27:41
Adam
Thank you for making my case. Andrews University?
1:27:45
Dr. Bruce
Hey, for the guys that go there, it's their life. What can I say? You didn't finish number six here.
1:27:51
Adam
That sounds worse than a junior college. Seriously.
1:27:54
Dr. Bruce
It's a university. What do you want? You'd be a big fish in a little pond or a little fish in a big pond.
1:27:58
Adam
Where did you do your medical training at?
1:28:02
Dr. Bruce
Loma Linda University.
1:28:04
Adam
Oh my God. Yeah.
1:28:07
Dr. Bruce
After being here, I'm sure that I'll be disowned from any alumni list that school can produce.
1:28:11
Adam
If I were you, I'd just start lying.
1:28:14
Dr. Bruce
I was doing an elective at NYU in medical school, and I told them where I went, and they said, oh, yes, that's in northern Mexico, isn't it? The bigotry of the East Coast. Anything that sounds like it has a Spanish name.
1:28:28
Adam
I'm going to start telling people I went to Stanford. I think I could sell that.
1:28:32
Dr. Bruce
They have an abnormal psychology program there.
1:28:35
Adam
Yeah, that's something that was my major. Who's going to know? You get one of those alumni license plate frames, you wear a sweatshirt every once in a while, people buy into it. They don't want to see a degree.
1:28:45
Dr. Bruce
Silicon Valley is close enough. Icy Hot in Tucson.
1:28:48
Caller
Yeah.
1:28:49
Caller
That's me.
1:28:50
Adam
Hey, Jay, she's in Phoenix or somewhere.
1:28:53
Caller
Phoenix, not Tucson.
1:28:54
Adam
That's right. Do people live in Phoenix who make fun of Tucson, don't you?
1:28:58
Caller
Actually, yeah, but we still do go up there for vacation when we went on a Monday.
1:29:02
Adam
You do? What do you do over there for vacation? You just stir up dust?
1:29:04
Caller
Oh, my God. We sleep all day and avoid the heat. That's our vacation.
1:29:08
Adam
You do what?
1:29:09
Caller
Sleep all day to avoid the heat. That's our treat.
1:29:11
Adam
Yeah, that sounds like a good time.
1:29:12
Caller
Oh, I'm trying to get the hell out of here.
1:29:14
Adam
Yeah, I'll tell you, I couldn't take living in those places.
1:29:17
Caller
Oh, it's terrible. Anybody listening at the Hole, don't move here.
1:29:20
Adam
Yeah, I know. It's just basically a big cat box.
1:29:23
Caller
Totally, totally.
1:29:25
Adam
Cactus grown out of it.
1:29:26
Dr. Bruce
So should we talk about why you should stop taking ecstasy?
1:29:29
Caller
No, I also, yeah, I had a few questions about that too. Like exactly how does ecstasy affect you?
1:29:34
Dr. Bruce
Okay, it's methylene-dioxy methamphetamine. So it has characteristics of methamphetamine. If you take an overdose, for instance, of ecstasy, it's just like overdosing on speed. It has, the other part of the molecule goes to the places where hallucinogens work in your brain, which is more the serotonin system. And that's where you start running into problems and what they're finding now is there are probably some permanent effects in the brain, even worse than what you'd expect to get from something like speed. So people feel that it's something they don't get addicted to, which I've had people that have become extremely addicted to ecstasy.
1:30:07
Caller
Yeah, totally untrue.
1:30:08
Caller
I crave it constantly.
1:30:09
Caller
I've only been doing it for a couple months and I still crave it.
1:30:12
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, and then there is the issue of the damage that can occur and there was a recent report about IQ drop after even a single usage or cognitive impairment.
1:30:26
Adam
And listen, you're thinking about using a Ben Gay as essentially a lubricant, sexual lubricant. You can't afford to lose any IQ points, sister.
1:30:36
Caller
Oh, come on.
1:30:36
Adam
Oh, my God. You've bottomed out IQ-wise. You lose any more IQ, you're going to be in the negatives.
1:30:43
Dr. Bruce
Okay, things that you can maybe put on your skin. When you talk about the- All right, hold on.
1:30:48
Adam
Quiet down over there, Bruce. I've had an ass full of you, didn't I? Listen, Jay, obviously, you can't put this stuff up here. Are you kidding me? That is the worst idea I've heard all year. All right. I understand that. But even just the fact that you're entertaining, that notion is scary to me and means your brain is not functioning normally. Number two, what goes on at these raves? You drop the axe and then you rub this icy hot all over you while the music pumps?
1:31:16
Caller
Well, your senses are totally heightened. So you rub baby powder on yourself and icy hot and you inhale thick because you feel it going down.
1:31:27
Caller
Just all kinds of things to stimulate your...
1:31:29
Adam
Do you have sex?
1:31:31
Caller
No, no, never. I don't know exactly what could happen from having sex on Ecstasy, but I've heard it could have some negative outcomes and I haven't even tried. Do you have any ideas there either? Because I've kind of been wondering about that.
1:31:41
Adam
Wow. Hey, Totes, you're 17. You couldn't read a Nancy Drew mystery, a doodle on a peachy folder and call the day.
1:31:50
Dr. Bruce
Do you have any family history of addictions or alcoholism?
1:31:52
Caller
Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely. Yeah, good. I've been sober for about two years and I came across Ecstasy. I do it recreationally and I know that could turn into something more.
1:32:02
Dr. Bruce
Well, there's no such thing as recreational use after you've had an addiction.
1:32:06
Adam
Yeah.
1:32:06
Dr. Bruce
So that's not a possibility. You've picked one of the worst possible. Well, there's no worst drug.
1:32:11
Adam
You've got to get off of this. Yeah. That's it.
1:32:13
Dr. Bruce
And things.
1:32:13
Adam
You're 17. You want to go into second rehab before 18?
1:32:18
Dr. Bruce
Oh, okay. The other thing is your mucous membranes, your vaginal mucosa, you start putting chemicals.
1:32:23
Adam
She's not going to do that.
1:32:24
Dr. Bruce
Okay.
1:32:25
Adam
She's not going to do that.
1:32:26
Dr. Bruce
Okay. How about?
1:32:27
Adam
All right. Here we go. Go to food. Alex?
1:32:30
Caller
Yeah.
1:32:31
Adam
You think about food a lot?
1:32:33
Caller
Oh my gosh. Lately, sorry, I can't even talk. I'm really nervous.
1:32:38
Caller
That's all right.
1:32:39
Caller
Last couple of months, there was a big tragedy at my school and one of our really close friends died.
1:32:45
Adam
How'd they die?
1:32:47
Caller
They were stabbed to death.
1:32:49
Adam
At school?
1:32:49
Caller
Yeah.
1:32:50
Caller
No, not at school. It happened and he was one of our really close friends and it was really scary. But I went through this thing where I didn't eat for a good couple months. I mean, I ate, but not all the time. And it wasn't a big thought in my mind. But since everybody's been recovering and everything and everybody's.
1:33:09
Adam
All right. Are you eating a lot now?
1:33:12
Caller
Yeah, I eat a lot.
1:33:13
Caller
And that's like all that's on my mind and all I can think about.
1:33:16
Adam
Are you overweight? All right.
1:33:18
Dr. Bruce
Are you making yourself vomit?
1:33:21
Caller
No.
1:33:21
Dr. Bruce
Are you thinking about it?
1:33:23
Caller
I have before.
1:33:25
Caller
I've tried it and I can't.
1:33:27
Dr. Bruce
OK. Usually they bring in crisis counselors right away. And I'm not sure because.
1:33:33
Adam
Who do they bring in? Chef Boyardee to crisis counselor? Dr. Chef Boyardee is here. Children, we like to speak to you. All right. Listen, quiet down. We got to take ourselves a break. Alex.
1:33:46
Dr. Bruce
Can you say eating disorder?
1:33:47
Adam
She's not throwing up. She's obsessing over it. And I'm saying, take control of it before it spins out and just start cutting back. And as you cut back.
1:33:57
Dr. Bruce
I mean, take control. That's an interesting thing to say.
1:33:59
Adam
Your appetite.
1:34:01
Dr. Bruce
It's a whole control thing. So what do you mean, go take control?
1:34:04
Adam
Okay. Well, then just go to OA.
1:34:06
Dr. Bruce
Yeah. This is a problem. And it's probably related to what happened. Just set it off.
1:34:10
Adam
You're right. Don't help yourself.
1:34:16
Caller
We'll be right back with more Loveline.
1:34:50
Adam
Well, time flies when you're having fun, or at least making fun of Dr. Bruce.
1:34:54
Dr. Bruce
Seemed like I've been here for days.
1:34:56
Adam
Oh, shush, you. Another delightful evening, and a job well done by Dr. Bruce. As you know, I never hesitate to bust your balls when you F up on this show, but you're very solid tonight.
1:35:10
Dr. Bruce
Thank you.
1:35:11
Adam
And those of you who have never heard Dr. Bruce before and are confused by the solid comment should have heard him before. That's all I'm saying. You came in here. You did a wonderful job. And it only gets better with you. So you're inflating my ego. No, you deserve it. Thank you. We do want to thank you for coming in. I want to thank Danielle, the beautiful and confident Danielle for answering the phones, whipping up the coffee, keeping everyone in line, and generally just doing a great job here.
1:35:46
Dr. Bruce
And of course, he's a cool guy.
1:35:49
Adam
Anderson. And Engineer Anderson for pushing all of the buttons, including mine, once in a while, and doing a great job all week. So, until next time, this is Adam Corolla for the great Dr. Bruce. Saying mahalo. Yeah, I remember when my dad got me my first butt plug.
1:36:06
Caller
Ha ha, well now.
