0:14
Voiceover
What are you insane?
0:25
Adam
I don't have to get them something, you know, makes it copacetic, right, Drew? Like, what did you get me this year?
0:31
Drew
Nothing. But you and I have an agreement.
0:33
Adam
That's right. That's right. See?
0:35
Drew
Now, I mean, it's wonderful.
0:37
Adam
I may be crying the blues now, but when's your birthday?
0:40
Drew
It's a couple months.
0:43
Adam
I already know what I'm not going to get you.
0:44
Drew
And I appreciate it.
0:45
Adam
Yes. Well, you appreciate it now. Yes. Hey, you won't be laughing so hard in a couple of months.
0:50
Drew
No, I appreciated it in September when you missed it last time.
0:53
Adam
All right. Oh, did I? Okay. I didn't get you anything last year.
0:56
Drew
No, we have an agreement.
0:57
Adam
All right.
0:59
Drew
We got it. Oh, no, you did. I'm sorry. You got me some because it was that big party and you got me some of that travel stuff that you use.
1:07
Adam
No, those were good gifts. I got you those very expensive $8 eye shades you use on the plane.
1:13
Drew
You use on the plane, yes.
1:14
Adam
$2 earplugs.
1:15
Drew
Earplugs are king.
1:16
Adam
And the inflatable pillow that sent me back another four, six bucks.
1:22
Drew
Well thought out.
1:22
Adam
I didn't get much change after I dropped that 20 off at the counter of the luggage place. You turned 40. Yeah, that's a big one. Nick?
1:31
Yes.
1:31
Adam
What are you, 16? Yep. What's going on?
1:35
Well, when I'm just either hanging out or chilling with my friends in my house, I get these spontaneous erections.
1:43
Adam
Yeah.
1:44
And you know, it's bothersome. I mean, as a guy, I hope you'd understand.
1:48
Drew
You'll grow out of it. You'll miss it.
1:51
Adam
Yeah. Like we miss ours, right, Drew?
1:53
Drew
Yes.
1:54
Adam
I even miss Drew's spontaneous erections.
1:58
Drew
Acquaint a memory from the past.
1:59
Adam
Not just mine. Yeah. Once in a blue moon, you'll still get one. And it'll be like hearing some old song or something. It'll be, hey, what is this? What is this? What's going on here?
2:10
Drew
Marcel Proust was writing about in symbolic terms, we talked about how sense and smells evoke memories.
2:17
Yes.
2:17
Adam
Yeah. This is something you have at 16.
2:20
Yeah.
2:20
Adam
And eventually just goes away.
2:23
Okay.
2:23
Drew
I mean, and don't think you're the only one.
2:25
Oh, yeah.
2:26
Drew
Yeah. Just learn how to manage it. That's all.
2:28
It just, it happened. It happens more frequently, I guess, is over the, since a few years ago.
2:34
Drew
It's going to peak between now and about the end of high school and then right at the end of it.
2:38
Adam
Then I'll start heading down.
2:39
Would you have any advice on preventing it now or?
2:42
Drew
No. There ain't no way to prevent it.
2:43
Adam
Don't wear sweatpants.
2:45
Okay.
2:46
Adam
You understand? I used to wear two, three pair of jeans to high school in the middle of the summer.
2:51
Drew
Just waiting for that erection.
2:52
Adam
Just waiting.
2:53
Drew
Never happened though, no?
2:54
Adam
No, never did come. Pardon the pun. Nick?
2:57
Yeah.
2:57
Adam
Do not wear sweatpants to school.
3:00
I understand.
3:01
Adam
And do you wear boxers or briefs?
3:03
Boxers.
3:04
Adam
Yeah. See, I don't think boxers do much to contain the erection. I would switch to briefs.
3:11
Okay.
3:12
Adam
All right.
3:13
Do you have any...
3:15
Drew
That's plenty of practical advice here, Nick.
3:16
Adam
No. Oh, and here's the next one, too, Nick.
3:18
Caller
Okay.
3:20
Adam
It seems to me, and Drew, you stop me if I'm wrong here, but the penis, I'll have my index finger be the penis. Which one's your index finger?
3:29
Drew
That was it.
3:30
Adam
The middle one?
3:30
Drew
The second one.
3:31
Adam
The F finger? Oh, this one?
3:32
Drew
Yeah.
3:32
Adam
Okay. See, this is the penis. Now, the penis hangs straight down, just down toward one leg or the other, whatever. Then it starts getting erect and it starts pushing up a little bit, right? See my finger growing?
3:45
Drew
Yes.
3:46
Adam
And as it starts pushing up, it meets some resistance. About this point, as it comes up an inch or so, it hits the edge of the pants.
3:54
Drew
Right.
3:55
Adam
And then what happens is, is it sort of reminds me of like, you ever see like a, you go to the zoo and you see like a rhino scratching itself against a tree or something, but it looks like it's just kind of pushing against it.
4:07
Drew
Yeah.
4:07
Adam
And it's the resistance that the, the more the resistance, the harder it sort of pushes. You know that feeling I'm talking about? And now the erection just gets even larger because it's pressing hard against the side of the pants. Now, if you just make a quick move, which is slide the hand down the pants, grab the penis and lift it all the way up so that it's straight up against your belly, it'll sort of drain and it won't have anything to press up against. You know what I'm saying, Drew? You see what I mean?
4:37
Drew
Or at least a side move.
4:39
Adam
Yeah, because once your penis is up pointing toward your chin against your belly and tucked in your waistband, it no longer wants to go up anymore. It's gone too far. It's gone past up. It doesn't push down and it just goes away.
4:53
Drew
It's very compelling discussion you're having. You seem to be very into this topic.
4:56
Adam
I've done it a couple of times.
4:58
Drew
I'm glad this inspires you, but let's move on. Yes, you're fine.
5:02
Adam
You see what I'm saying?
5:03
Drew
I see what you're saying.
5:04
Adam
Tara?
5:05
Yeah.
5:05
Adam
You're 19.
5:06
Caller
Yes.
5:06
Adam
You don't know what I'm saying.
5:07
Drew
I know what you're saying.
5:09
Adam
I know, but Tara doesn't. What's going on, Tara?
5:12
Caller
Okay. Well, I'm on the pill, and I think I might be pregnant, and I just wondered, does the number of times you have sex a day lower your chances of, you know what I'm saying, are the odds against me?
5:26
Drew
I guess at the outer edges of the curve, that is to say, if you're doing it once a month or no times a month, you would decrease your risk of pregnancy. And the other hand, if you're doing it 600 times a month, it might be slightly above, say, somebody that's 10 times a month.
5:41
Caller
Right.
5:41
Drew
Okay, but why do you think you're pregnant?
5:43
Caller
Well, for about a month or so, I've been getting sick, it's not just in the morning, but all the time, through the day.
5:50
Drew
How long have you been on the pill?
5:52
Caller
About three years.
5:54
Adam
How many times a week do you have sex?
5:59
Caller
Five or six.
6:00
Drew
And you haven't changed the pill type?
6:02
Caller
No.
6:03
Drew
And you've taken it perfectly every time?
6:05
Caller
Yes.
6:05
Drew
And you've been on no other medications or substances or anything? I would think of other things first. Are you missing your periods?
6:14
Caller
It's kind of late right now.
6:16
Drew
Yeah, well, why don't you get a pregnancy test? But honestly, that would be down my list of probabilities for causing nausea. But get that, do you take any other medication?
6:26
Caller
No.
6:27
Drew
You don't take aspirin?
6:30
Caller
I haven't taken anything. Anything else. I've been on the pill for three years.
6:35
Drew
But a month, when you started feeling nausea, there was nothing at that time you were using?
6:39
Caller
No.
6:40
Drew
Yeah. I'd still get it worked up, but pregnancy would be relatively low on my list. It would have to be ruled out, but it's...
6:48
Adam
Because she's taking the pill consistently.
6:49
Drew
Yeah. So it makes it unlikely.
6:51
Adam
Tom.
6:52
Yeah.
6:53
Adam
You're 17.
6:54
Caller
Yeah. Adam, this is for you. All right. I injured my right arm, mountain biking, and that's my good arm. And so now whenever I need to relieve myself, I've been forced to use the other arm, but that's still painful.
7:13
Adam
Why is it still painful?
7:16
Caller
Using that muscle pulls on the opposite shoulder, and it still causes quite some pain.
7:24
Adam
Did you dislocate your shoulder?
7:26
Caller
I actually cracked my collarbone.
7:29
Adam
Yeah, that's bad news.
7:31
Caller
Yeah, it is. It sucks.
7:32
Adam
Yeah. How long ago did that happen?
7:34
Caller
About last Sunday.
7:37
Adam
And when's the doctor say you can be up on your penis again?
7:43
Caller
Well, I never had a sit down chat with him, but I'll be fully functional within six weeks.
7:50
Drew
Yeah, the pain's gonna take a couple weeks to subside.
7:52
Adam
Yeah, so have you done it with your left arm?
7:56
Caller
Yeah.
7:57
Drew
And it hurt too much.
7:58
Adam
It hurt too much?
7:59
Caller
Oh, yeah.
7:59
Adam
But you still went through?
8:01
Caller
Yeah.
8:01
Adam
That's what I love about guys. I mean, fighting through the pain, you know what I mean? That's a trooper. This is, you know, we don't have guys in the service storming the beach at Normandy or any of that kind of stuff. Nowadays, true. But I think this is the modern-day equivalent to that.
8:19
Drew
Sure. These are your soldiers, Adam.
8:21
Caller
I like to think-
8:22
Adam
The crowd's got you pinned down. The captain just took one in the head. But you're still gonna dig in and keep moving forward for love of country and penis. So, you're using your left hand out. From a technique standpoint, I know there's pain involved, but just from a sheer technique standpoint, is the left hand usable?
8:43
Caller
It's usable. I mean, I can scrape by with it.
8:46
Adam
Right. In a pinch.
8:49
Caller
In a pinch, yeah.
8:50
Adam
But there's pain in your shoulder.
8:52
Caller
Yeah.
8:53
Drew
I just think of the wonderful sort of scientific and the discoveries that could be made. Could we hone this energy that men spend the time and energy and focus they've been doing?
9:07
Adam
Hell, just hook it up to some kind of pump or something.
9:10
Drew
It could be internal energy source.
9:11
Yeah, you're right.
9:12
Adam
It'd be great. We'd never burn another ounce of coal.
9:16
Drew
Nuclear energy? Forget it. We don't need it.
9:18
Adam
No, we got wankular. All right, so Tom, I don't know what to tell you, buddy. I can tell you when that right arm... Oh, the toothbrush? You got like an old school electric toothbrush?
9:33
Caller
Yeah, actually I do.
9:34
Adam
Do you?
9:35
Caller
Yeah. Really? Hey.
9:36
Adam
Go get it.
9:38
Caller
Yeah, yeah.
9:39
Adam
Where is it?
9:40
Caller
It's in the bathroom.
9:41
Adam
Well, go get it. Let me hear it.
9:42
Caller
All right, hold on.
9:43
Adam
I'm gonna talk to it. It's been such a long time. Tom, I was gonna go get it. Now, you think he has an old style one?
9:53
Drew
He doesn't. Look, he's 17. He doesn't even know what you're talking about.
9:55
Adam
Old style to him. It's like, yeah, I got one way back to 1996.
9:59
Drew
Yeah.
10:01
Adam
This one didn't have the laser guidance system on it. And the gyro was just being pioneered at the time. This thing rolled off the manufacturer's belt. Tom?
10:11
Caller
Yeah. Hey, I found one. I don't have batteries.
10:14
Adam
Oh, you don't have batteries? But you do. You know what I'm talking about with the earlier generation electric toothbrush?
10:20
Drew
It's a vibrator or a toothbrush on the edge.
10:22
Adam
Yeah.
10:23
Caller
Basically, yeah.
10:24
Adam
Yeah. All right. Try using that thing.
10:26
Caller
Okay.
10:26
Adam
I think that's going to save your collarbone. I broke my shoulder when I was at land, but thankfully it was before my career.
10:36
Drew
You dislocated it.
10:37
Adam
I fractured and dislocated it.
10:39
Drew
What'd you fracture the tip of the clavicle?
10:40
Adam
My, was it my humerus?
10:43
Drew
Oh, you broke the arm.
10:44
Adam
Yeah, I broke my arm and it came out of the socket.
10:49
Drew
At that age, too, no one of your parents didn't want you playing ball.
10:51
Adam
Oh.
10:52
Drew
That arm could be half the length it is now.
10:54
Adam
Hey, let me tell you, that's what the doctor said, this guy's arm may not grow right again.
10:58
Drew
That's right.
10:59
Adam
Oh, you guys want to talk about pain? I'm not going to talk about this long because it's going to hurt, but my shoulder was out of its socket for four days. Now if anyone's ever had something pop out and pop back in, then they know how excruciating it is.
11:14
Drew
For that moment.
11:14
Adam
Once in a while it pops out and somebody has to set it, but it was out for four days.
11:21
Drew
And fractured.
11:22
Adam
And fractured. Oh, and let me tell you, when your shoulder's out of the socket, you don't move. I was on the sofa whizzing into a mayonnaise jar for four days.
11:35
Drew
Because your fracture was right across here.
11:37
Adam
Yeah. It was, it was, it was brutal. It was, it was, it was like the most excruciating thing I've ever been through in my life. It was, listen, I did it during a football game. They stopped the football game. They called an early halftime. The coaches came out to the field and everything. They cut my jersey and my shoulder pads off. And when I was lying there, they took a look at me and they didn't move me. They saw my shoulder was popping through the skin practically. And they just called the ambulance. And I just sat out there in the middle of the field for like an hour while the teams just sat around. It was like right in the middle of the football field. You know what I remember? Leaving the football field in the back of the ambulance and going over the speed bumps in the parking lot. That was a rough one. I remember that. Just any jostling, anything. Oh, it was brutal. Alex, how are you doing? You're 18. All right.
12:35
Caller
I've known this girl for like about two years. And she's kind of this friend of mine's sister. And she's 16 and I'm 18. And I'm just kind of wondering if asking her out would be jeopardizing my friendship with this friend of mine.
12:49
Adam
You say she was 16?
12:51
Caller
Yeah.
12:52
Drew
It's a little bit risky. As long as you're good to her, you know, you treat her right. I mean, what would he object to then? It just makes the friendship a little bit weird. The things you can't talk about. He can't...
13:03
Adam
Smell my finger. Hey, that smells like family. Wait a minute. We had goulash last night. Wait a minute. Alex? Yeah, it's all right. You can do it. It happens all the time. I know it's a little uncomfortable.
13:18
Drew
You're right. That's all.
13:19
Adam
Listen, everybody understand. There's all these things that are a little bit uncomfortable, but everyone just goes through them. This is the part of life I can't figure out.
13:28
Drew
What do you mean?
13:28
Adam
I just mean like I've never had a prostate exam.
13:32
Drew
You asked me for one. Virtually.
13:35
Adam
By a stranger.
13:37
Drew
Seriously, that one day you came to my office.
13:38
Adam
No, I didn't. I said my ass. I had some problems with my ass.
13:41
Drew
That's why I referred you to somebody else. You want me to do that to you?
13:44
Adam
I didn't tell you to get down there, though.
13:46
Drew
You've been abusing me ever since for not having done it.
13:49
Adam
I wanted to talk ass. That's all.
13:52
Drew
If I had begun the ass talk, you know where it would have ended up.
13:56
Adam
It always ends up when we start one of our long ass talks with your hand up me like a sock puppet. Here's my point. I've never had one of these ass examinations. The point is I know I have to get one one day. I know millions of men have gotten them, but the fact that millions of men have gotten it before me means nothing to me.
14:20
Caller
Let's just prove you're not a physicist.
14:21
Adam
I think myself as just a pioneer in the rectal exam field. Like the Neil Armstrong of anuses.
14:28
Drew
This is to me why people, the same psychology that causes people when they get sick at 75, to go, how could this happen? Right. It's a part of being a human being. As illness occurs, especially as you get older, these things happen. And as you get older, Adam, there are certain health care hygiene needs that you'll have. And you're now an older man. God, they gotta come up with... And you're approaching middle age.
14:50
Adam
They gotta come up with something that you just sit on and shines a light or something.
14:55
Drew
Maybe that toilet seat, we can combine that with something...
14:59
Adam
Yeah, with some barium or something. Clark? Yeah. Well, anyway, just so it's not to be too confusing, everyone gets a crush on everyone else's sister at some point of one of their best friends or what have you. It's been done a million times before. Who was our last caller? Whatever our last caller's name was, he's off the board now. And the point is, is just go ahead and do it. Clark?
15:24
Caller
Yeah.
15:24
Adam
What's going on?
15:26
Caller
I'm 16 and my girlfriend's 16. And we've been talking about having sex. We bought condos and everything. And we're not sure about how to go, like, how to start. Do you have any advice?
15:38
Adam
You gotta get a running start.
15:40
Drew
Are you sure you want to do it if it's that kind of...
15:43
Caller
Yeah.
15:44
Caller
Oh, no, I want to do it.
15:45
And she says she wants to do it.
15:46
Caller
It's just, we're not sure how to, like, get into it.
15:49
Adam
Well, what else have you done with her?
15:54
Caller
Not much. She's given me a blow job, hand job, and stuff like that.
15:56
Adam
That's, whoa.
15:58
Drew
Think about that. Think about that. Clark, thank you for your honesty. Think about that statement.
16:02
Adam
Blow job, not much. It's 16. You understand I would have had a statue erected to the young woman, like Amelia Earhart or something.
16:12
Drew
That would have been a story in Plant Pen House.
16:14
Adam
Yeah, it would have written thousands of letters. I would have, you know, people send out those letters after they give birth to the first child, you know.
16:22
Drew
That would have been a news story.
16:23
Adam
Yeah, I would have sent out a large mailing. Just got a BJ, thought you'd want to know, thank you for your love and support.
16:30
Drew
It wouldn't be nearly, it would not be near that understate. It would be, you know.
16:33
Adam
Bum-pa-da-bum.
16:34
Drew
Yeah, this would be a, because I got news for you, there weren't any of the 16-year-olds in America doing not much.
16:43
Adam
In getting a BJ?
16:44
Caller
Yeah.
16:46
Adam
Well, anyway, so Clark, you've done about all you can do sexually without actually having the intercourse, right? So next time you're getting the BJ, why don't you just, you know, put the condom on and then you just kind of keep going, right? But if you want.
17:04
Drew
Clark, yeah, and if she wants, make sure it's something she's really clear about and comfortable with. And you guys have been together for a while, you're comfortably together, give it lots of time and make sure it's what she wants to do. Most women regret the age that they picked to lose their virginity. They tend to wish they'd waited longer.
17:24
Adam
Yeah, you talk to a 75-year-old woman, she'll say she really wished she was in her 60s.
17:29
Drew
No, but you talk to a 30- to 50-year-old, you're going to find that most.
17:32
Adam
Yeah, they always wish. The guy wishes he could have shaved a couple of years off of his. The other way. Sort of evens out.
17:39
Drew
Right?
17:39
Adam
Yeah, oh yeah. Nicole, you're 21.
17:43
Caller
Yeah.
17:43
Adam
What's going on?
17:44
Caller
Okay, well, my question is, okay, I think Adam, you can probably give like a pretty fair, honest, whatever. So do guys like, I don't know, do they like have a very good like perception of like girls' bodies, like fully clothed?
18:03
Drew
What do you get in that?
18:05
Caller
Like.
18:06
Drew
Why you're concerned?
18:07
Caller
Why?
18:07
Drew
Yeah.
18:08
Caller
Because I don't know people, like I don't know, like guys are, they will say, you know, whatever, you know, like whenever they're talking to you, like in general.
18:18
Drew
What will they say? We don't know.
18:20
Caller
Like, you know, like.
18:21
Drew
We don't know.
18:22
Caller
Okay. You know, they'll say like good things or whatever.
18:27
Drew
What do they say? Hey, Nicole.
18:29
Caller
Huh?
18:29
Drew
What do they say?
18:31
Caller
They say like just general hitting on.
18:34
Adam
I'm going gay. That's it. Nicole, you've pushed me. You know, I was sort of straddling the fence, but now, now I'm going gay.
18:44
No, I'm serious.
18:45
Caller
Like, are they ever like totally shocked? It was my fault.
18:48
Adam
All right, hold on there, screwball. Listen, I'm sure you look pretty good in a pair of tight jeans and a halter top, right?
18:57
Okay.
18:57
Drew
Are you concerned somebody's going to be disappointed?
19:00
Caller
Well, no, I just always, why I always wonder like what, what they think.
19:05
Drew
No, Nicole, stay with me. I need some very specific answers so I can figure out what's motivating you to ask this question. Are you concerned?
19:12
Caller
I'm very self-conscious.
19:13
Drew
I understand that.
19:14
Adam
Why?
19:15
Caller
I just am. I don't know why.
19:17
Drew
Are you concerned that guys are going to think negatively of you?
19:20
Caller
Well, kind of, yeah.
19:21
Drew
Has that ever happened to you before?
19:23
Caller
No.
19:24
Drew
Have you ever been naked with a guy before?
19:26
Caller
Yes.
19:26
Drew
And how was that?
19:28
Caller
Fine.
19:28
Drew
And he appreciated how you looked? Have you ever had an eating disorder? Eating issues, let's call it.
19:35
Caller
Well, kind of.
19:36
Drew
Yeah. Because people with eating disorders really have distorted body images. They can be fine.
19:41
Adam
What city do you live in?
19:43
Caller
I'm in Phoenix.
19:44
Adam
Yeah.
19:46
Drew
Well, there's a lot of that stuff going on there.
19:47
Caller
What?
19:48
Adam
No, I just want to take a look at her. That's all. Nicole, what do you do for a living?
19:53
Caller
I'm a student.
19:53
Adam
Junior college?
19:55
Caller
No, I go to a major state university.
19:57
Drew
ASU, Arizona State.
19:58
Adam
Really?
19:58
Caller
Yeah.
19:59
Adam
Sound like a real college.
20:01
Drew
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was down to Tucson. I was down to U of A. That was impressive.
20:04
Adam
Yeah, that's U of A. This is Arizona State. Yeah, the state schools. Okay.
20:10
Caller
It's better. It's much better.
20:12
Adam
Northridge, San Diego State. Come on. These are four-year junior colleges. So junior college is with tuition.
20:18
Caller
U of A is a pit. Arizona State's really like that.
20:21
Drew
I thought U of A was great.
20:22
Adam
Listen, Nicole, you look good. I can tell by your voice. You sound fine. What's your mom do? Make you take ballet lessons when you're a kid?
20:30
Caller
No.
20:32
Adam
Why do you have a body problem?
20:34
Drew
Yeah. Why couldn't you develop? Why couldn't you develop any self-esteem when you were growing up?
20:40
Caller
I do have self-esteem, except for that one minor small effect.
20:44
Adam
That's it for women, though, unfortunately. That's the big one.
20:48
Caller
But what about the question?
20:50
Drew
Okay. Guys are like...
20:53
Adam
Guys can tell what women look like in clothing. Yeah.
20:56
Drew
Guys are pretty keen about stuff.
20:57
Adam
The good part is they're drunk and they don't really care.
21:01
Yeah.
21:01
Drew
They don't care once they decide they're in.
21:03
Adam
Well, look at it this way. If you're at a club dancing, a guy comes up to you, wants to dance with you, buys you a drink, and wants to go home with you, he's not going to be in for any surprise by the time you get to your house.
21:17
Drew
We don't have guys. If that were the case, these guys would call regularly to this show and say, oh, I was disappointed. How can I not make that mistake next time? That never happens. You've never had that call.
21:27
Adam
No, it doesn't. No, you know exactly what you're getting in on. Just go ahead and pick a couple celebrities, maybe on the good side, maybe on the bad side, and put them at a dance club. I think you could figure out who you're going home with, couldn't you? I think you could. All right. We'll take a little break. When we come back, who are we talking to, Drew?
21:47
Drew
I'm waiting to see what's coming up here.
21:49
Adam
Okay.
21:51
Caller
Okay, so come on down off the tower.
21:53
This is not your parents, Woodstock.
21:55

You have five seconds.
22:23
Love Line with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Back in a minute. One.
22:38
Caller
We're not keeping you up, are we?
22:40
Caller
I'm pitching a tent.
22:41
Oh, that's good.
22:43
Caller
It's Loveline.
22:55
Adam
What song is that, uh, coffee? More, more, more? Yes, yes, yes. Who is this? Oh, Glenn. Oh, go. Hey, Mike, did you, did you get me that, uh, what the hell is that, uh, what's that band I wanted you to go find that CD?
23:17
Drew
Thin Lizzy. Thin Lizzy.
23:18
Adam
Thin Lizzy, yeah. So you'll get that, that CD? Okay. Keep working on that, buddy. Hey, did that chick ever give you the website or whatever with her naked chest? Did she ever send that over to you? Did Ann say she was going to send that to you? Or maybe that was to Brett. Did you hear that night? Did you see anything good on your computer?
23:42
I don't remember that. Was that Thursday night?
23:44
Drew
She sent it to...
23:45
Adam
No, maybe it was to Brett.
23:48
Drew
But it was on some... what web page was it on?
23:51
Adam
I don't remember.
23:52
It wasn't... Brett was here, but she never sent it.
23:57
Caller
We gave her the address. I tried to coax her.
23:59
Adam
Oh, you're breaking my heart. Thank you, Sherry. I appreciate that.
24:03
Caller
I was playing hooky Thursday.
24:04
Adam
Sorry. Sherry. I missed your birthday. I feel bad. No, that's all right. You came with a gift. God bless you. But a ton of... he must have stolen a ton of nut dairy creamer from, I don't know, Smart and Final Iris or...
24:18
Drew
Luckies.
24:19
Adam
Luckies or something like that. But he got me a case of these things. And I really... I couldn't be happier. I got the International Delight. He got me the...
24:29
Drew
Irish cream.
24:29
Adam
Liquid creamer singles. I got the Irish cream and I got the French vanilla. Very nice. And I will... I guarantee I will use each and every one of these every night until they expire. Or I do, because of all the chemicals I've consumed.
24:46
Drew
You're fine.
24:47
Adam
Sherry?
24:48
Yeah.
24:48
Adam
You're 22.
24:49
Caller
Yeah. My husband was abused when he was a kid. And his dad would like hit him and stuff.
24:57
Adam
Perfectly natural?
24:59
Caller
Yeah.
25:01
Caller
And I was just wondering if there's any chance that he could start taking that stuff out on me. I mean, we've been together for five years now, and he's never done anything physically, but he yells a lot.
25:12
Drew
Yeah.
25:13
Caller
And I was just wondering if this could escalate into something else.
25:16
Adam
Has he gotten any help for it?
25:18
Caller
No.
25:18
Drew
What do you think, Sherry?
25:20
Caller
I don't know. I'm really getting worried about it now.
25:22
Drew
Of course, it can. Of course, he's at risk. And in terms of the... Some numbers are somewhere around 60-70% of people who are abused who will then become abusers or similar victims. Does he use drugs or alcohol?
25:37
Adam
He drinks.
25:38
Drew
Yeah. See, that's the one variable that really... Yeah. That's the one thing that...
25:42
Adam
Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.
25:43
Drew
If you notice, that's when he tends to yell and scream a lot, right? When he drinks?
25:48
Caller
He does, yeah.
25:49
Drew
Yeah, and that's the thing that's going to really escalate this thing and potentially set things off when his impulse control is down.
25:54
Adam
How many kids do you have?
25:55
Caller
I got two kids. Oh, boy.
25:57
Drew
There's two things you can do, three things you can do. One, you can both go to some parenting classes. Most hospitals have mental health services and they often will get... Or social service department will give parenting classes. That does a lot to help people like your husband contain anger so things don't escalate to the point that he feels so out of control and impulsive, okay, do that. Number two, you can go to Al-Anon and sort of work on yourself and hopefully as you grow, he will then be forced to do something as a way of catching up with you and oftentimes you'll find an identified patient will then go to AA.
26:29
Adam
Alright, and easy on the kids. 22. You know what I mean? You're 22, you have a husband who's been the victim of some physical abuse. He's a little bit angry. He hasn't gotten a full handle on it yet. Let's just go a little easy on the kids. It's sort of like I'm trying to think of one of my bad analogies.
26:48
Drew
Well, it's like if you had a car that had some mechanical problems, you don't have to speed.
26:55
Adam
Yeah. Thanks for making a car analogy. It's good.
26:57
Drew
I'm thinking of you.
26:58
Adam
You got a car you've been rebuilding, you did the engine, you did the transmission, you did the suspension, but you haven't quite gotten around to the brakes yet.
27:04
Drew
Yeah. There you go.
27:05
Adam
And you need it to go to Vegas this weekend. Just take it easy. That's it. Just don't floor it all the way there.
27:12
Drew
Common sense.
27:13
Adam
That's right. That is. You're 22, fine. You're young, you're married. You get a handle on a few things. Then when things settle down and people are able to contain themselves, then you start a family. Why do it and then work it out? I mean, everyone's ideas is, we'll have the kids, then I'll go into rehab, then I'll go into therapy, then I'll figure it out, then I'll get a handle on it. Meanwhile-
27:40
Drew
Or that'll work everything, everything will work out after that.
27:42
Adam
Four years has gone by, the kids have sucked up all this weird energy and anger because they're like little sponges when they're kids and now you've successfully effed them up, just like you got effed up. There's a plan. Mandy.
27:54
Yeah?
27:55
Adam
You're 17, what's going on?
27:57
Caller
Yeah, hi.
27:58
I think I have a yeast infection, but I'm not sure.
28:01
Adam
Hold on. Oh, yeah. Oh, Mike, please.
28:06
Drew
What makes you think so?
28:08
Caller
Because, well, I had sex with this guy on Thursday, and we used a condom and everything, but now it's been itching and white stuff.
28:21
Drew
Cottage cheese, huh?
28:22
Caller
What?
28:23
Drew
Cottage cheese.
28:23
Adam
Oh, true. Don't equate it to a food. You know why? Because when you make it a food, then we have to eat it. You know what I mean? In our minds.
28:33
Drew
Here's the problem. Did the condom stay intact? Didn't break or anything?
28:37
Caller
No, it didn't break.
28:38
Drew
And you had no other penetration other than that?
28:41
Caller
Well, his fingers.
28:42
Drew
Okay. It is probably yeast infection. Do you take any medications of any kind? Antibiotics or anything like that?
28:49
Caller
I was taking antibiotics before because I had a cold.
28:52
Drew
All right, so that's probably what actually triggered the yeast infection.
28:54
Caller
Oh, really?
28:55
Drew
Indeed, itching and discharge, whitish, sort of cheesy discharge is what yeast looks like. Because you had sex, it sort of brings in the question whether or not you could have a sexually transmitted disease, vaginitis, chlamydia, these sorts of things.
29:08
Caller
You had the...
29:09
Drew
I had the condom on. You had the condom on. For education purposes, that itching and discharge after a sexual encounter should be considered a sexually transmitted disease until proven otherwise. What you might do is get some of the over counter yeast medications. I don't think terrazole is over the counter yet, but monistat and that kind of thing. And if it doesn't go away, then you must see a doctor.
29:25
Adam
I tell you that, in a vagina, it's like a bird's nest, you know? You just can't screw around with it at all. You know, don't they say that if you go up, I know, but I've used that analogy before, meaning if you like go into a bird's nest and start monkeying around with the little birds, a mama may not return.
29:46
Drew
Right.
29:47
Adam
Isn't that how it goes?
29:48
Drew
Yeah.
29:48
Adam
Because she like smells man or... It's just, it's a delicate balance in there. You can't monkey with it at all.
29:54
Drew
Or if you monkey with it, you get a symptom. Something happens.
29:56
Adam
Something happens. And you start, you get on these antibiotics and that screws everything up. Why does that screw everything up?
30:04
Drew
Because the bacteria that normally keep the yeast in check get killed off by the antibiotic. So the yeast overgrow.
30:10
Adam
Is that, but don't you have a lot of different types of, what was I going to say? What's a kill off? Yeast? No, no, bacteria. Yeah, but don't you have a lot of different bacteria in your body?
30:22
Drew
Yes, you do. But the ones that, for instance, tetracycline is more likely to cause a yeast infection than say, a flagell, something like that. I mean, it depends on the antibiotic.
30:32
Adam
Because that'll kill that particular type of bacteria.
30:34
Drew
Those kinds of bacteria.
30:35
Adam
It kills the good bacteria and the bad bacteria.
30:37
Drew
Same thing happens in the bowel. You can get these awful diureas from certain bacteria overgrowing.
30:41
Adam
Aren't we going a little nutty with these antibiotics?
30:44
Drew
Oh, yes. If you want me to go off on this, it's an awful thing.
30:48
Adam
Well, you don't go off it. Let me go go off it for a second here. Listen, all you crackpots out there. I've taken antibiotics like twice in my entire life. I turned 35 two days ago and I've done it twice. You screw balls that are living on them, that are popping them like pez, and you idiot doctors that are handing them out every time someone sneezes or ruining it for the rest of us who use it sparingly because now all these things they're building up resistance to it. Now we're all gonna die because you guys are popping these or eating these things like popcorn.
31:24
Drew
Every time somebody gets a runny nose or a sore throat or a cough, they want an antibiotic and it does nothing. Nothing.
31:31
Adam
Right.
31:32
Drew
Zero. If anything, just puts them at risk of some sort of reaction. When your buddy Jimmy called me, you wanted antibiotics on demand, and I was very...
31:39
Adam
Don't you make fun of Jimmy.
31:40
Drew
And look what happened to him. I'm so mad at myself for having given him that stuff over the phone.
31:45
Adam
Well, what would you, what should you have done?
31:46
Drew
He should have come in and checked it out. I'm sure it was a virus.
31:49
Adam
You know, he's got an Emmy now, so just watch it.
31:51
Drew
Explained to him that, you know, get some decongestants and this and that, but he's a big star now, so he's got to have something right away.
31:57
Adam
Well, he's a very busy man.
31:58
Drew
So, and what happened when I gave him antibiotics? Never, he got a rash.
32:01
Adam
He got a rash.
32:02
Drew
Yeah, and that could have been dangerous. Yeah, I think now he can never take penicillins again.
32:07
Adam
I think the rash was from dry humping the amy, though, to be quite honest with you. I think it's made out of, I don't know if it's the calvinizing process or the nickel that caused it. No, that was before that. Listen, why can he never take the?
32:20
Drew
Because now he's been sensitized to penicillins.
32:23
Adam
He has been.
32:24
Drew
That's it.
32:24
Adam
And that's what happened. How do you get sensitized to it though?
32:27
Drew
You take them too often.
32:29
Adam
Oh, is that what happens? I don't think he's been taking that much penicillin. I'm gonna ask him.
32:34
Drew
It's too much for him, whatever it is. And he's lost his chance.
32:37
Adam
All right, I've never, I've never, I don't even know if I've taken penicillin. I never take anything. All I took was that one thing you got me that one time where I really got loaded because I went out drinking afterward. Remember we were doing Loveline and I went to a party that night with engineer Mike and I really got lit.
32:51
Drew
Is that antibiotic I gave you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.
32:54
Adam
I took that and I had a few drinks with it. Oh, Jesus.
32:57
Drew
That was smart.
32:57
Adam
Give me another one of those. That was the best buzz I ever had. Two martinis the whole night. I was wasted. Thank God Mike had like 45 drinks and was staying up with me antibiotic or not. That was a year and a half ago. You realize that? Was it that long ago?
33:13
Drew
It was a year and a half ago.
33:14
Adam
Mike slept over that night. Oh, it was. Almost. Almost. Maria?
33:19
Caller
Hi.
33:20
Adam
What's going on? You're 14.
33:22
Caller
Yeah. First of all, I want to say that Adam, you are so sexy and I love you. Wow.
33:27
Drew
Maria, I'm so scared for you.
33:28
Adam
14 year olds.
33:30
Caller
Anyway, I am sort of a musician. I play guitar and I have a guitar teacher who is very odd. Feel very uncomfortable around him.
33:39
Caller
He, I've been taking lessons from him for about a year and a half.
33:43
Caller
He always compares me to his girlfriend and always like wants to give me like back massages. And it's just really odd.
33:51
Drew
You want him to stop?
33:52
Caller
Yeah, I want him to stop and...
33:54
Drew
Tell your parents.
33:55
Caller
What?
33:55
Drew
Tell your parents.
33:56
Caller
I don't want to because...
33:58
Drew
Maria, please.
33:58
Caller
My mom gets so mad.
33:59
Drew
No, Maria.
34:00
Adam
My mom gets mad?
34:01
Drew
She should get mad. What's up with that? She should get mad, yeah.
34:03
Adam
She's 14, getting a little bit of the voice.
34:05
Drew
No, she's 14.
34:07
Adam
Still getting a little voice.
34:08
Drew
But look, that guy...
34:09
Adam
Are you a virgin? Yeah. Anything ever happen to you? No.
34:13
Drew
No, no.
34:13
Adam
Nobody screwed around with you?
34:14
Drew
No, no.
34:15
Adam
Just checking. No neighbor guy, nothing like that? Good. And you don't like this guy? You're not attracted to this guy at all?
34:22
Caller
I'm not attracted to him.
34:23
Caller
I mean, he's a very inspirational person.
34:25
Drew
Yeah. See, she doesn't want to... It says alienate him.
34:28
Caller
I have no idea why.
34:29
Caller
I mean, he was...
34:29
Caller
He's divorced and I don't know why.
34:31
Drew
He is taking such advantage of you. He is really, really violating the relationship you have with him. And you must make it clear to him, any way you can, that it just can't... This can't continue. He must not touch you at all. Unless it's to place your fingers on the guitar in some way.
34:48
Adam
No, not even that.
34:49
Drew
Preferably not even that, frankly. And if he continues, you must tell an adult. Maybe not... Maybe there's somebody else that shares him as a teacher or somebody else...
34:57
Caller
Yeah, my best friend does.
34:58
Drew
All right. But another... An adult. Somebody that will get him to make him acknowledge that he has a liability here. If this continues, he'll go to jail.
35:06
Caller
I mean, is there a reason why he's doing it?
35:08
Drew
Yes, he's a child abuser. He's a jerk.
35:10
Adam
Listen, hold on. He's a musician, not a successful one. So he teaches, he smokes a lot of pot. He got divorced, he's in a sort of arrested state of adolescence. I'm sure his wife divorced him because he wouldn't grow up and just cut his hair and take a job. And he's kind of living like a kid. And when you're living like a kid, you just do things sort of impulsively. And basically, here's the deal, everybody. Really, one of the big differences between being a kid and being an adult is sort of impulse control. I mean, when you're a kid, you just start walking toward whatever shiny or wherever the hell you want. And the folks say, put that down or come back here. And you just look at them and throw it and keep running. I mean, that part of being a kid, or you're just crap in your pants, whatever it is, it's all sort of, you feel like crying, you start crying. You feel like napping, you start napping. You don't want to eat. You just throw it at somebody. It's just sort of impulse control. And once in a while, you run into a guy who's 28, who has, he's like my two-year-old nephew.
36:15
Drew
And it turns out pot really contributes to that impulse control problem. It does.
36:18
Adam
Well, not only is that, but you start smoking since you're 14. You're arrested. Yeah. You may be numerically or chronologically maybe 28, but you're really like 15 and a half.
36:30
Drew
Yeah.
36:31
Adam
You get like a month for every year if you smoke pot solid.
36:36
Caller
All right.
36:37
Adam
Wow. All right. When we come back, we'll speak to Helena, who's 15. How can she make her breasts stop growing? They're too big. All right. We'll talk to her after this.
36:49
Loveline, be right back in a minute.
37:02
Caller
For the erotic pleasures of women.
37:04
It's Love Line.
37:12
Adam
Hey, it's The Love Line. I'm Adam Corolla. He is Doc Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. And when we left off, we were talking about Helena, who's 15. Helena?
37:27
Caller
Yeah.
37:28
Adam
You're 15, your breasts are still growing.
37:30
Caller
Yeah.
37:30
Drew
That would be normal.
37:32
Caller
Yeah.
37:32
Drew
That would be like, you're restating the obvious.
37:35
Adam
How big are they now?
37:36
Caller
They're 3060s.
37:38
Adam
How big are you?
37:40
Caller
I'm 5'2.
37:42
Adam
Ooh, that's nice. How much do you weigh?
37:46
Caller
135.
37:48
Adam
5'2, 135. Is your mom big?
37:51
Caller
No.
37:52
Adam
How big is your butt? How big is your butt? No, is your mom's not busty? She's not roly-poly?
38:00
Caller
Actually, I'm three sizes bigger than she is.
38:03
Adam
Three bra sizes?
38:05
Caller
Yeah.
38:05
Adam
So, you were done borrowing her bras like around third grade, huh?
38:09
Caller
Yeah.
38:10
Adam
Yeah. Grandma busty?
38:13
Drew
Why are you asking these questions? What the hell did I mean?
38:15
Adam
I'm just curious, trying to get a picture of the family tree.
38:18
Drew
Are you trying to, you know, have a series of questions to ask your potential wife?
38:22
Adam
Well, what I'm trying to figure out is whether Helena is going to be, you know, big busted and big or just big busted.
38:31
Drew
Well, is she, her weight is modestly up and so she could maybe reduce by losing some weight.
38:37
Adam
Five two. Well, when you're five two, you should probably weigh a little less than 135, but if you're busty, we'll go ahead and add a few pounds on there, but you still probably could stand to lose a few pounds, right Helena?
38:52
Drew
And that might help her lose some of that.
38:53
Adam
Is that true?
38:54
Caller
Yeah.
38:55
Drew
Some of the breast size might help too.
38:56
Adam
So why don't you work on your diet a little bit, slimming down a little, see if it takes chips away at the breast. It oftentimes does, unfortunately. Can you do that?
39:09
Caller
Yeah, I could, but the thing is, my breast, they've grown two cup sizes in one year.
39:16
Drew
Helena?
39:16
Adam
Let me do some math. By the time you're 35, oh man.
39:21
Drew
But let me put it a different way. There's nothing else you can do right now.
39:26
Adam
At this point.
39:27
Drew
Then try to contain your weight.
39:29
Adam
What do you want to do?
39:32
Caller
Well, I want them to stop growing.
39:34
Drew
There's no way to do that.
39:35
Adam
Okay. Hey, Helena? And all gals out there who want to get themselves a breast reduction, I've seen a lot of these candidates, Drew, because as you know, I hang out at the plastic surgeon's office.
39:52
Drew
Yeah, you were there this weekend.
39:52
Adam
Looked through the before pictures.
39:54
Drew
Yeah, did you, did you again?
39:56
Adam
I don't want to get Dr. Marcel in any kind of trouble.
39:59
Drew
No, he will not be able to take any before pictures now. Think about this.
40:01
Adam
Listen, he shouldn't have left the door open, or at least open enough so I could jimmy it with my credit card and get into the books.
40:09
Caller
The cabinet, right.
40:10
Adam
The point is, is yeah, I just used a little plastique to blow the lock. As soon as the smoke cleared, it really, I don't really classify that. It was only a gun safe. The point is, is a lot of women that get the reduction could probably, probably start by just losing 30 pounds right off the top and then look at the reduction.
40:32
Drew
Oh, you, you, you, that's what your opinion was?
40:33
Adam
That's what I've surmised.
40:35
Drew
Looking at the pictures.
40:35
Adam
Yeah, there, there's some, there's some that don't need it, but there are a few of you who, and I'm doing radio math here. Helena said she was 5'2, 135. That could have been 5'1, 5'1.5, and 1'45. I'm not trying to make light of this. I'm just saying you have one good natural option at getting those breasts to shrink. That is dropping a few pounds. Maybe surgery will be an alternative down the road. Maybe it won't. We don't know. But the one thing you can do is that. So while you're putting down that cheeseburger and staring at your breasts, hoping they'll shrink, they ain't going to see if you're going to lose 15 pounds and see what happens. I bet the breasts go, maybe just one of them, maybe the whole breast, right, Drew?
41:25
Drew
Maybe the whole thing.
41:26
Adam
Maria, you're 20.
41:28
Caller
Yeah.
41:28
Adam
Well, you have a nice voice.
41:30
Caller
Thank you. It's not going to fall through right now.
41:33
Adam
I don't know what she said, but she realized a nice tone to her. It's like listening to someone that sing Calypso music or something. I don't know what the hell they're talking about. Just sounds good.
41:42
Caller
Okay.
41:44
Caller
So I was listening to your show just now, and I heard this girl, Maria, called about her guitar teacher making pasta set. Actually, coincidentally, I also play the guitar.
41:57
Adam
You play the guitar? Where are you from? Japan?
42:00
Caller
No. Malaysia.
42:02
Drew
Malaysia.
42:03
Adam
Malaysia. What part of Japan is that in? Where is that Malaysia?
42:10
Caller
Okay. Quite close to Japan.
42:12
Adam
Oh, it is. Yeah. There you go. I knew it.
42:15
Drew
So what's your point?
42:17
Caller
Yeah. I was just going to comment on what she should do or something. Because my guitar teacher made pasta, similar pasta. I mean, maybe exactly the same pasta that her guitar teacher is doing to her.
42:29
Adam
How old were you when they did this?
42:31
Caller
About 15. Yeah. And when he was, what do you call that, teaching me guitar, he gave me back rubs. And his finger would, his hand would swiftly touch my back like that.
42:51
Adam
Yeah. Listen, all you ladies, whenever a guy gives out a back rub that you don't basically beg him to do, like engineer Mike is doing to Ann right now, he's coming on to you. And here's what I mean.
43:06
Drew
Fiercely. And it's violating her body space boundaries.
43:09
Adam
Well, it's not fiercely. But I-
43:10
Drew
Yeah, you shouldn't be touching people.
43:11
Adam
No, I just mean-
43:12
Drew
In a teacher-to-student relationship, for crying out loud.
43:15
Adam
When a guy initiates the rub, he's looking.
43:19
Drew
In any circumstance.
43:21
Adam
Yeah, listen, if you're like, you're like British Oran, you're complaining about your neck the whole time, fine.
43:27
Drew
But there are times when you're on a date or something and that's part of the guy sort of exploring to see how you react to his physical touch. If you are a teacher or a physician or in any sort of professional or work environment, that is absolutely, totally and categorically out of line.
43:43
Adam
And listen, what do you expect from a guitar teacher? The guy's a musician with no groupies. You know what I mean? This is the whole reason he got into it.
43:51
Drew
Maria, you can't assume that just joking with them or putting them on notice that it's not okay is enough.
43:58
Adam
Well, what did you do?
44:00
Caller
I just ignored him because basically because I respected him as my teacher.
44:05
Adam
Yeah, see that's what these guys are carrying on.
44:08
Drew
That's right.
44:08
Caller
And what I started joking around with him to lighten the situation, not joking about what he was doing to me but other stuff.
44:18
Drew
Yeah, Maria.
44:19
Adam
And what did he end up doing?
44:21
Caller
Nothing much. I think he got this guilty conscience because he was married and had a child coming.
44:29
Adam
That's great. What is it?
44:32
Caller
He got it.
44:34
Drew
No.
44:35
Adam
What do you mean? What do you know?
44:38
Drew
It's not take it lightly joke around time when guys are that out of line with their misconduct, miscarriage of their position.
44:47
Adam
I know. But, Drew, you want everybody to kick everyone in the nuts and then arrest them.
44:52
Drew
No.
44:53
Just slap cuffs on them, chain them to the radiator and go for the police.
44:57
Drew
After the kick in the nuts, yes.
44:59
Adam
Fifteen-year-olds are incapable of asserting themselves that way. Oftentimes.
45:03
Drew
That's what is so diabolical and awful about this.
45:06
Adam
I know it is. But if you don't want to do it, you can. Just a little body language will get you out of it. He starts massaging the neck, you tense up and pull away a little bit, and he'll probably not be back for a second try. You know what I'm saying, Drew? I understand the guy is a louse, and then you cannot go back again if you choose. I don't expect our callers or our listeners to call the cops, to confront him, to talk to his wife, to go straight to their principal. I know that's what you like to say, but if these people had a better relationship with their parents, this kind of stuff wouldn't be going on in the first place. So you have to understand that is going on.
45:50
Drew
I get that.
45:51
Adam
You pull away from the guy, and then tell your mom you want another guitar teacher, and that you should be able to do, right?
45:59
Drew
That's not what they want, though. They're going to sacrifice their training because of this a-holes behavior.
46:03
Adam
I know, but you don't want to go back to the guy anyway, do you? All right, use your head there for Christ's sake. We'll take a little break. We'll be back. The G-spot on your radio dial.
46:29
Caller
Oh, you're right there.
46:30
Caller
Love Line, on 1027 W-E-B-N, Cincinnati.
46:42
Adam
Hey, it's the Love Line. We're gonna take a quick ten-second timeout. We'll be back with more of the fabulous show we call Love Line in just ten seconds.
46:50
Caller
This is Love Line on Radio Station.
47:05
Adam
Dr. Drew is here, so is myself, Adam. Ace Rockolla to my radio fans. We're gonna go back to phones. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. And what the hell's phone? There we go. Heather. You're 24?
47:23
Caller
I sure am.
47:24
Adam
What's going on?
47:25
Caller
Well, I masturbate on a regular basis, and I've heard rumors that it can cause, I don't know if it's true or not, that it can cause blindness or that... Oh, Heather.
47:36
Drew
Heather, you're 24.
47:38
Caller
Yeah.
47:39
Adam
You know how it causes blindness? You get like a scratch on your forehead, an itch on your forehead, so you pull the vibrate out and you poke yourself in the eye. That's happened to me once.
47:50
Drew
What was the other rumor you heard?
47:52
Caller
That I can cause myself to be less sensitive or that I can do damage to myself.
47:56
Drew
You can't damage yourself, but you can desensitize.
47:58
Adam
Slightly more feasible than the blindness.
48:00
Drew
Yeah, you can desensitize yourself, but that also will tend to restore itself to normal with time.
48:06
Caller
The sensitivity?
48:07
Drew
Yeah.
48:08
Caller
The blindness.
48:10
Adam
What about the hair on the palms? You didn't get that one?
48:13
Caller
No.
48:15
Drew
Are you okay otherwise? I mean, do you have relationships normally?
48:18
Caller
No, I'm not interested in having a relationship.
48:21
Drew
Why?
48:22
Caller
So I just...
48:23
Drew
Why?
48:24
Caller
Why?
48:26
Caller
I'm not, I don't know, I'm just not with the hole dating the males and all that right now in my life.
48:32
Drew
When were you?
48:34
Adam
Late 60s.
48:35
Caller
I haven't dated in about four years.
48:37
Drew
How come?
48:39
Caller
I just had a bad experience.
48:40
Drew
What happened?
48:44
Caller
I was raped.
48:45
Drew
Have you dealt with that?
48:48
Caller
I thought I have. I mean, I haven't forgiven him. And so...
48:51
Drew
No, I'm not. Have you had some treatment?
48:53
Adam
Who was him?
48:55
Caller
Just somebody I knew for a short time.
48:58
Drew
Heather, what about getting some rape counseling groups, that kind of thing?
49:01
Caller
Yeah, I did, right after it happened. And I talked with a couple people I respected or trusted, and they kind of made me feel like it was my fault.
49:13
Drew
Well, it's obviously not your fault to be a victim of a crime.
49:16
Caller
Yeah.
49:16
Drew
However, there are things about your character makeup, your personality makeup, that caused you to choose certain kinds of people to be around. And that may put you at risk. But it shouldn't cause you to be a victim of a crime.
49:29
Adam
Were you dating the guy?
49:30
Caller
No, I wasn't. I'd only known him for about two weeks.
49:33
Drew
Yeah, but the deal is...
49:34
Adam
How did you know him?
49:36
Caller
When I was at school, he just moved into a guy's apartment that we were good friends with.
49:42
Adam
Did you ever prosecute him?
49:44
Caller
No, he moved about two weeks after that.
49:47
Drew
So, Adam, your profile.
49:50
Adam
Let me start asking the probing questions. Where's your dad?
49:55
Caller
Oh, I have a really good parents. They're loving. They've been married for about 30 years. Wonderful parents, wonderful family.
50:02
Adam
You're adopted?
50:03
Caller
No.
50:04
Drew
You're never had eating disorder?
50:06
Caller
I did.
50:07
Adam
Oh, Drew, everybody. Now, take a lot of ballet when you were young?
50:13
Caller
No, I didn't.
50:15
Drew
What I want to promise you is your idealized images of your parents are not reflective of reality. They're not bad people, but they're not the perfect people you think they are emotionally. Especially at important times in your own development, they weren't attuned to your needs. They were attuned to their own stuff and acted that out on you, but didn't give you what you needed. And as such, it's created some stuff for you still that you need to deal with. And talking to friends about what happened to you is not going to be even the beginning of the room.
50:47
Caller
No, I didn't talk to any friends.
50:48
Drew
You said you talked to some people you trusted.
50:50
Caller
It was a couple of adults.
50:53
Drew
Okay, talking to acquaintances isn't even going to begin.
50:57
Adam
Well, wait a minute, she didn't talk to friends, technically, Drew.
50:59
Drew
Yeah, I'm not saying peers, but acquaintances isn't even the beginning of the remotely-
51:04
Adam
Who were these adults? What are you talking about?
51:06
Drew
Well, even if they were professionals, it doesn't matter. That's not the beginning of anything, let alone treatment or having dealt with something as monumental as all this.
51:15
Adam
Yeah, but Drew, let me ask you this. Let me probe just a little bit deeper here. I have some other feelings. So what happened? You went over to the guy's house or he came over to your house?
51:25
Caller
Yeah, no, we just spent the day with the whole apartment, like shopping at the mall and everything. And then his roommates went to bed and we were just watching a movie.
51:34
Adam
You and the guy.
51:35
Caller
Yeah.
51:35
Adam
Right.
51:36
Caller
And that's when it happened.
51:37
Adam
Well, what happened?
51:38
Caller
I actually fell asleep on the couch and I know you probably won't believe that. And that's when he, that's when it happened.
51:46
Adam
No, I was just telling Drew, women cannot stay awake and watch TV on the sofa. Drew, was I not saying that when we were peeing?
51:53
Drew
During the break, yeah.
51:54
Adam
Yeah. So I believe you fell asleep and then he started to rape you.
51:58
Caller
Yeah.
51:59
Adam
And then you woke up.
52:00
Caller
Well, yeah.
52:01
Drew
Did you scream for help, call the police?
52:03
Caller
He actually put a pillow over my head and held it there.
52:07
Drew
Awful.
52:08
Adam
Could you breathe?
52:09
Caller
Yeah. Well, I moved my head to the side.
52:13
Drew
Awful.
52:14
Adam
And he was being, did he threaten you in any ways?
52:19
Caller
He just kept telling me to be quiet, don't say anything, and I was pretty much in shock.
52:26
Adam
Right.
52:26
Caller
So I feel guilty because I didn't scream or...
52:30
Drew
No, Heather, Heather, Heather.
52:31
Adam
That's all right. Here's all I'm saying, Heather. There's more to your family than you're willing to admit. Do you know what I'm saying? Did you ever tell your parents about this?
52:42
Caller
Oh, no.
52:43
Adam
Yeah, why not? They're the most warm and loving...
52:46
Drew
Perfect parents...
52:46
Adam
.married for 30 years.
52:47
Drew
They're perfect.
52:48
Caller
No, it's because I love my mom so much that I don't want her to worry about me or have...
52:54
Adam
Yeah, but listen, Heather, you had some horrible happen to you four years ago. You've been dating a vibrator for the last four years. You're not able to engage in an intimate relationship. You know, something kind of, whether you, I know this sounds horrible, but something got you there in the first place. This guy's a rapist. Don't get me wrong. But there was something that made you not scream out or punch him in the face or something and not prosecute the guy, not tell your parents. And some of that is your parents. You understand?
53:26
Drew
Not you.
53:27
Adam
Not you. Your parents. You understand? He had a eating disorder that Drew magically knew about. You know, there's issues going on here, Heather. Yeah. And you believe you can get blind from using a vibrator.
53:40
Drew
And you're 24.
53:41
Adam
I'm 24. Well, there you go, everybody. Started off as just not doing the guy thing right now. That was her first answer. I haven't dated in four years. I'm just not doing the guy thing right now. And magically turns into raping eating disorder.
53:57
Drew
The question was, can you go blind from masturbating every night?
54:00
Adam
Well, that was the initial. That was the question. Yeah, but Drew, don't you, you gotta believe that people call up and want to talk about more at a certain level.
54:07
Drew
At some level.
54:08
Caller
Absolutely.
54:09
Drew
Otherwise.
54:09
Adam
She didn't want to talk about rape. She want to talk about rape.
54:12
Caller
Yeah.
54:13
Adam
Don't you think?
54:13
Drew
Yeah. We get those calls where they really don't want to get.
54:15
Adam
You got raped four years ago. You haven't really worked it out. You haven't spoken to anyone about it. You don't want to call up and start talking about it. But you know, if you listen to the show, we're going to, we're going to get there.
54:25
Drew
Please do something about it, Heather. Please. It doesn't have to be tell your parents yet. That might be too much too tall of a task. Given the enmeshed quality of your family, that's so perfect.
54:34
Adam
Wonderful.
54:34
Drew
Perfect people. But do yourself a favor and get some professional help.
54:39
Adam
Listen, stop defending your parents, everybody. My parents weren't even that bad. I call them horrible. Feels good, right, Drew? That takes all the pressure off of you. Because listen, when you sit around and tell everyone how great your family was and how loving your parents were and what a great environment you grew up in, and then people look at you and go, wait a minute, you drive around a Vega, you go to junior college, you haven't had a date in four years, what the hell has happened to you? They look at you and now you're a loser. What you do is just say your parents are losers and they go, okay, it's cool, can I crash out on your futon or your bean bag or something? It makes you look like an idiot when you brag about your parents. Chrissy? Hello? Yeah. It's like bragging about your hairstylist and walk around with a horrible mullet hairdo. Yeah. No one believes it. Listen, I don't care how good you say Serge is. I'm looking at your head. He sucks. Go ahead, Chrissy.
55:36
Caller
Okay.
55:37
Caller
I've been going up with this guy for about two months, and we haven't barely even hugged or anything, and I don't know what to do.
55:48
Drew
Just get a new boyfriend.
55:49
Adam
You just go straight for the oral sex each time? No.
55:53
Caller
It's just that my brother is going out with my best friend, and they always hug and everything all the time.
56:01
Caller
They hug.
56:02
Caller
Yeah. They kiss, and they tell me, oh, well, come on, you guys. He's just going, oh, no, I don't want to, and it's like, I don't know what to do.
56:13
Adam
Well, have you ever hugged or kissed a guy before?
56:17
Caller
Yeah.
56:17
Adam
You kissed?
56:18
Caller
Yeah.
56:20
Adam
Your boyfriend before him?
56:21
Caller
Yeah.
56:22
Adam
Uh-huh. And is that as far as you've gotten as the kissing?
56:26
Caller
Yeah.
56:27
Adam
And so you want to do that with this guy? Is he, is he religious?
56:32
Caller
I don't know.
56:33
Adam
He don't sweat the details to you, Chrissy. Is, should we talk to him? I think we can straighten him out. Let me get to the truth. Let's talk to him, Chrissy.
56:44
Caller
Okay.
56:44
Adam
All right.
56:45
Caller
Yeah.
56:46
Adam
Okay. Put Chrissy on hold. Chrissy will get this guy's phone number. Sherry?
56:51
Caller
You hip?
56:53
Adam
Sherry's hip. Okay. Where the hell, where are we? Frank?
56:57
Caller
Yeah.
56:58
Adam
You're 23. You want to know if anger is hereditary?
57:00
Drew
Yeah.
57:01
Adam
None of your goddamn business!
57:02
Caller
Well, it's gotta be.
57:04
Adam
Oh. Okay.
57:05
Drew
He takes it seriously.
57:07
Adam
I guess I did.
57:08
Drew
The defensiveness is part of being angry.
57:10
Adam
Yeah, it is hereditary in the sense that you grow up around a guy who is angry all the time. And he took a decent amount of that anger out on you, right?
57:20
Caller
Well, no, he took it out on my mom.
57:21
Drew
All right. Not his family.
57:24
Caller
No, my mom was my family.
57:26
Adam
Okay. Well, listen. Frank, if you want to know if you're angry or not. You're angry. So the answer is yes.
57:33
Drew
And if you wonder why people seem to be such jerks around you.
57:37
Adam
Yeah.
57:37
Drew
Think about it.
57:38
Adam
Yeah. Listen. Hey, Frank, listen to me. Your dad's kind of a prick, right?
57:44
Drew
Oh, yeah.
57:44
Adam
Yeah. Now, listen, you're kind of turning into one yourself. Drew and I have talked to you for 22 seconds. We've had enough of you. When you think people out there are consistently being idiots or being a-holes or firing you or starting fights with you for no reason, or everyone's giving you grief or rubbing you the wrong way, realize that it may be you that's bringing a certain amount of that into the relationship.
58:09
Drew
You brought it out on us in the first four seconds.
58:11
Adam
I got mad at Frank like eight seconds into the conversation.
58:14
Caller
You have to apologize.
58:16
Adam
You have to apologize. So Frank, it's all right. Don't have any kids for a while until you get on a call. Frank, you have any kids?
58:24
Caller
No.
58:25
Adam
Okay, that's good.
58:27
Drew
Now we like Frank.
58:27
Adam
Watch out. Don't get drunk too much.
58:30
Caller
I've been clean. It's over 31 months.
58:32
Drew
Congratulations.
58:33
Adam
Good. 31 months. What is that, 20 years?
58:36
Drew
In terms of whether or not there's...
58:37
Adam
31 months.
58:38
Caller
Yeah, it's almost three years.
58:40
Drew
There's some sort of hereditary factor in anger. I would say not. It's more of an environmental thing, I suspect. There's always some biology in all these syndromes, but I think predominantly we could predict that you had to be raised around an abusive a-hole to create that kind of anger in a kid that then translated into adulthood.
59:03
Adam
Right.
59:04
All right.
59:06
Adam
Lindsay.
59:07
Caller
Hi.
59:08
Adam
You're 17.
59:09
Caller
Yeah.
59:09
Adam
What's going on?
59:10
Caller
I'm going... Well, I'm supposed to go for a job interview tomorrow, but, okay, I smoked weed on the 14th and the 15th, and I found out that there's going to be a drug test.
59:21
Drew
Is it a hair test or a urine test?
59:24
Caller
I believe urine.
59:25
Adam
How do you know?
59:26
Drew
And?
59:27
Adam
How do you know?
59:28
Caller
Oh, I just, I assume that it would be urine.
59:31
Drew
Okay.
59:31
Adam
Why do you assume that?
59:33
Caller
Because, I don't know, I don't think that they would do, like, a drug test.
59:38
Drew
That's fine.
59:38
Adam
But what's the difference between a hair test and a urine test, Drew?
59:41
Drew
Hair is, it stuffs the hair a lot longer.
59:43
Adam
I know, but why is it, is it cheaper to do a urine than a hair?
59:47
Drew
Yeah, hairs are much more difficult to interpret, too, and things like the government does, hair testing for high security clearances and that kind of stuff.
59:54
Adam
So urine is more for, if you want to work at the Starbucks, and urine is more like CIA, I mean, hair is more CIA.
1:00:02
Drew
Or like, more like you're running the missile silo.
1:00:05
Adam
Right, right, so why did you even ask? Because they wouldn't even do a hair one, would they?
1:00:09
Drew
I don't know what she's going for. I want you 17.
1:00:10
Adam
She's 17, she's going to work at the Pentagon. She's smoking pot on Wednesday.
1:00:14
Drew
All right, and were those the only two days you smoked pot?
1:00:17
Caller
Yeah.
1:00:18
Drew
Yeah, and other than that, you don't smoke pot?
1:00:19
Caller
This month? Oh, well, I used, like, when I was 16, I smoked pot, like, every day for nine months.
1:00:28
Drew
And when did that nine month period end?
1:00:29
Adam
Every day for nine months?
1:00:31
Caller
It was school, it was September through, like, Spring of last year. Like, yeah.
1:00:37
Drew
Of last year.
1:00:38
Caller
And then I was, like, out of control, so I'm, like, I quit and I didn't smoke weed at all until I smoked weed once September last year and once in November. And then I haven't smoked the egg until this month.
1:00:51
Adam
You couldn't have been smoking too much pot if you know the exact date.
1:00:55
Caller
See, I smoked it every day for nine months. And then when I was, like, in seventh and eighth and ninth grade, I smoked it, like, you know, every now and then.
1:01:03
Drew
It's not a typical marijuana addiction story.
1:01:05
Adam
Then when she was a nurse in Korea in the early 50s, of course, she smoked it. But that was just to cope, you know. I mean, it was hell over there.
1:01:13
Drew
And it's very unlikely that we'll show up in the urine this far out from that single exposure. I wouldn't lose any weight or do any heavy physical exertion the day before.
1:01:20
Adam
What are you going for? What kind of job?
1:01:22
Caller
Well, I have a job right now. But my sister, she works at this... Okay, well, my sister is a case manager at this, like, health clinic thing. And she said, like, I could get a job, pretty much, like, pretty much get a job, like, nutrition, something.
1:01:38
Caller
What?
1:01:40
Caller
Like, this nutrition thing, I don't sure exactly what it is.
1:01:43
Adam
You'll be a nutritionist.
1:01:44
Drew
If you guys want to know what's... If people want to know what's going on in their health care management, which is really who makes the decisions about how long your family members get to stay in the hospital and what kind of care they get to be delivered, just listen to this call, please.
1:01:57
Caller
Well, my sister... No, my sister is totally... She does not do drugs or anything.
1:02:01
Drew
I understand, but she didn't go to medical school, doesn't have a Ph.D., and she's the one that determines the kind of care people can get.
1:02:07
Caller
She does, actually.
1:02:08
Drew
I understand that.
1:02:09
Adam
She does, why?
1:02:09
Drew
Our health care assistant, she makes the decision?
1:02:11
Adam
No, no, no. She has a Ph.D.?
1:02:14
Caller
Yeah, she's a nurse. She's a registered nurse.
1:02:17
Adam
No, that's G-E-D. That's different.
1:02:19
Caller
No, she's a registered nurse, and she got promoted from that to case manager.
1:02:26
Adam
Okay. All right, so you can go over there and be a nutritionist.
1:02:31
Caller
Listen, if, so say that it does...
1:02:35
Adam
What, doesn't your nurse, doesn't your genius sister know?
1:02:38
Caller
No. Well, see, I think she might have her suspicions because she mentioned that there would be a drug test, you know? All right.
1:02:46
Adam
Listen, listen.
1:02:47
Caller
I don't want it to affect her life.
1:02:48
Adam
You'll be fine. Lindsay, Lindsay, sweet pea, you'll be fine. You haven't smoked pot in two weeks. You'll be fine.
1:02:54
Caller
So, seriously, I don't need to, like, do anything?
1:02:56
Adam
No, don't do anything.
1:02:57
Drew
Just don't lose weight and don't exercise aggressively before, a few days before.
1:03:02
Adam
No.
1:03:03
Drew
Yeah.
1:03:04
Adam
She's fine.
1:03:05
Drew
But this is, this is the stuff that's, people do not understand how the health care is functioning right now. And I'm telling you, that is how it works. That's how it works right now.
1:03:13
Adam
Lindsay's gonna be a nutritionist. She'll be like, eat more carbo hydrocarbons, carbo. What is she gonna do over there? Drew's pissed, everybody. Drew, who should be running that? Someone with some education?
1:03:34
Drew
Well, if these are the people making the decisions about where your family gets their health care and how it's delivered, shouldn't it be the highest level of training?
1:03:42
Adam
I don't know, I don't have a family.
1:03:42
Drew
The absolute highest possible training? What you get is not that. People, they know what, every once in a while you get people who know what they're doing clinically, but you don't get people at the top of the totem pole because anybody who's really trained would want to give more care than these systems allow you to give.
1:04:00
Adam
Right. Okay, I'm with you. Listen, I don't go to the doctor. I've had a festering lump in my hand and in my groin for three years now. I haven't done a thing. I don't do anything. I don't go to the doctor.
1:04:11
Caller
I know.
1:04:13
Drew
It's fine. You shouldn't go.
1:04:14
Adam
Yeah, I'm 35. What the hell though? I feel fine.
1:04:17
Drew
Man, we have such a problem in this country between, we don't know the difference between disease and health. We just don't know the difference. We have no clue.
1:04:22
Adam
Listen, here's my take on all this stuff. All you folks that have seen the doctor who are not pregnant and don't have, haven't gotten a car accident, who've seen the doctor, let's say, more than six times in the last four years, kill yourselves. Kill yourselves now. Do me a favor, because you have one of two choices. Either there's some sort of emotional condition that's sending you there, which is probably 99 percent.
1:04:49
Drew
But they get that treated of this, right?
1:04:50
Adam
Or there's something legitimately wrong with you, in which case you need to be destroyed.
1:04:55
Drew
Are you going to be soon anyway?
1:04:57
Adam
That's going to be my angle when I'm in power.
1:04:59
Drew
So don't go through the pain and suffering, just get over with that.
1:05:01
Adam
Listen, here is my take. I got to give my take because it's Monday, Monday's take day. We only have enough doctors, enough cops, and enough everything to sort of for everyone just to use it once in a while. It's really the way.
1:05:20
Drew
What they really need.
1:05:20
Adam
Yeah, that's the way the system works out, everybody. It really does. I mean, let's say everybody decided to go on a killing spree tomorrow, we'd be F'd because we don't have a prison, we don't have a court system, we don't have enough cops. If everybody decided to bust their knee on the same, went snowboarding on the same day and everyone broke their pelvis on the same day, the world would come off its axis. It really would. We just really have enough in our system to handle everyone using stuff like once or twice, very sparingly. And all you idiots who are in the hospitals constantly, who are calling the doctors constantly, who are getting arrested constantly, who keep getting thrown in for the same thing, or keep, you're clogging up the system. You know when you're dialing 911 and there's an ambulance coming by the house or cops coming by the house, you're screwing it up for guys like me who never ever use the system. That's what I'm saying, Drew. I want to use my antibiotics and know they're going to work every once in a while. I want to call 911, which in 35 years, I've not called one time and I'm going to deduct two years because I didn't know how to work the phone for the first, not the first two years, there was the middle two years.
1:06:34
Drew
The tough years.
1:06:34
Adam
Yeah, between 17 and 19. I forgot how to work the phone, but I knew it coming right out of the womb. I knew how to work that damn phone. I want my 911 guy to show up. I don't want him pissed off. I don't want him at your house. I want my antibiotics to work. I want my doctor to work. I want the ambulance to be there. I want the cops to show up. I want it all because the one time I do make that phone call, believe me, I'm going to need it because that's the only way I would call. I wouldn't call otherwise. Coyote in the front yard, not going to call. Thought I saw an alien, not calling. Twisted my ankle, not calling again. Only calling when I need it, but I want it when I need it. And you a-holes are using it all up. You're tiring Dr. Drew out, you got the ambulance drivers pissed off, the cops pissed off, the courts are filled, everything's screwed up because the same, it's really, you can take society, there's probably about 5% of society that I could isolate as the troublemakers. 5% of the people that keep going in and out of prison, 5% that keep getting in domestic disputes, 5% that are hypochondriacs and going in and out of the hospital. Who's doing all the suing? You think everyone just does one lawsuit once in their life or is it just that small percentage who when you open their file turns out they have 35 lawsuits with 35 different manufacturers over the last 18 months? These are the people I'll just put away. I don't need to review it. I've seen you've sued 22 employers in the last two years of your life. Yes, I can explain every one of them. You know what? I don't have time putting you down. Sorry. Drew, Lethal Injection, thank you very much. That's it. Then we'd be living in utopia, but we really have just a very small percentage effing it up for everybody. Thank you, Drew.
1:08:29
All right.
1:08:31
Adam
Now, you got that Lethal Injection?
1:08:32
Drew
Yeah, I'm prepared right now.
1:08:33
Adam
Take a little break here.
1:08:34
Drew
I'm glad to give it to you or myself.
1:08:37
Adam
We'll get back to Chrissy to find out what happened to her and her boyfriend and all that after this.
1:08:43
Okay, so come on down off the towers.
1:08:45
Caller

I feel so liquidy, really, like.
1:09:16
You're listening to Love Line with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. Love Line, I'll be right back.
1:09:32
Caller
Oh, you're right there.
1:09:49
Drew
How could they impose their will?
1:09:50
Adam
They could?
1:09:51
Drew
Yeah.
1:09:51
Adam
Well, that's what you get when you don't pair it. You lose your will to impose, and you can't impose your will. All right, what are we doing?
1:10:00
Drew
We're going to check out Chrissy. Chrissy? Yeah.
1:10:03
Adam
All right. Chrissy? Yeah. Okay, you're 15. It says on the board here...
1:10:10
Drew
Boyfriend.
1:10:11
Adam
It's kind of funny. Did it go away the second I said it says on the board here?
1:10:15
Drew
Yes.
1:10:16
Adam
Wow. Let's see. I'll go off memory. Your boyfriend's 13.
1:10:20
Drew
As mom said, he's asleep and can't be awakened.
1:10:24
Adam
Yeah. Hey, Chrissy?
1:10:25
Caller
Yeah.
1:10:26
Adam
You know, next time you call up and talk about your boyfriend not putting out and he's not hugging you and you're not having sex, go ahead and talk about the part where he's still wearing diapers. Being two years, being 13, I mean, him being in the what, sixth grade and you being...
1:10:43
Drew
Eighth grade and she's a sophomore.
1:10:44
Adam
Seventh grade or...
1:10:45
Caller
I'm in eighth grade too.
1:10:47
Drew
You're 15.
1:10:48
Caller
Yeah, I got held back in second grade.
1:10:51
Adam
What? Didn't you get held back twice?
1:10:54
Caller
No.
1:10:54
Drew
She was already old. I got held back.
1:10:57
Adam
Why'd they hold you back?
1:10:59
Caller
I don't know.
1:11:00
Adam
Listen, see, there you go. Would you use my answer? You went to Europe when you were a child? Do you understand, Chrissy? Chrissy?
1:11:09
Caller
Yeah?
1:11:09
Adam
Listen to me. You're gonna have to tell this story over and over your entire life.
1:11:14
Caller
Okay.
1:11:15
Adam
Now, here's the new story, okay?
1:11:19
Caller
Okay.
1:11:19
Adam
You say to me, why are you in eighth grade when you're 15 years old? Go ahead.
1:11:28
Caller
Why in eighth grade when you're 15 years old?
1:11:32
Adam
Um, my folks took me to Europe with them when I was like, like six or seven or something, and we stayed there for like a year and a half. And so when I came back, I couldn't rejoin my classmates. So I was a year, about two years behind.
1:11:49
Drew
When I came back, I spoke three languages, but I've lost it all now.
1:11:52
Adam
Right, and played the harp. Now, follow up with a good, a good question and try to bust me, Chrissy. Go ahead.
1:12:01
Caller
Um, what languages did you speak?
1:12:05
Adam
Yeah, see, that's the thing. I was like, I was so young and we moved around so much. My dad was there in business. I know he works at a muffler shop now, but they were thinking of going international. Les Midas, they're going to call it. Les Midas. And he moved-
1:12:24
Drew
Bush Midas.
1:12:26
Adam
He moved around so much that we never really had a chance to settle in one place long enough, but we were all over. I was so young, I don't remember. There you go. Instead of being an idiot, all of a sudden you have this international flair to you. You're like an IHOP.
1:12:44
Caller
Okay.
1:12:46
Drew
So Chrissy, he wasn't available to talk, right? Okay. We think the reason he's not being more affectionate, he's young.
1:12:51
Adam
He's 13.
1:12:52
Drew
And he doesn't know how to be.
1:12:53
Adam
Plus, women are more mature than men anyway. So, I mean, the difference between, I mean, we talked to 15 year olds that are dating 27 year old, you know, merchant marines and stuff and want to know why they're so mature. That is a gap there. I mean, a lot of 15 year old girls are going out, 17, 18 year old guys. We don't recommend it, but let's face it, that's life. 15 year old girl going out with a...
1:13:18
Drew
13 year old.
1:13:19
Adam
13 year old guys really, he may not even sprout at a pubic hair. His mom answered and said he was... His mom didn't want him to come out of bed because he didn't want him to tear holes in the feet of his Yoda jammies. Okay. All right, take it easy on him, Chrissy. Chad?
1:13:37
Caller
Yeah.
1:13:38
Adam
Chad, you're 19.
1:13:40
Caller
Yes, I am.
1:13:41
Adam
What's going on? Chad?
1:13:43
Caller
Yeah.
1:13:43
Adam
I don't want to sound negative, but you're not going to live longer than 30.
1:13:47
Drew
Why? Okay, wait a minute, Chad.
1:13:49
Adam
You know a guy named Chad, who's like 67 years old?
1:13:52
Caller
Whatever.
1:13:55
Adam
Hey, it's Grandpa Chad.
1:13:57
Caller
Yeah, I was about to get on here and tell you guys how great you were, too.
1:14:00
Adam
Well, go ahead. You better hurry up and get it out.
1:14:04
Caller
All right, you guys are great.
1:14:05
Adam
Thank you.
1:14:06
Caller
Anyway, I got a reaper.
1:14:08
Drew
You'll change his name to something else by then. What's your first name, middle name?
1:14:12
Caller
Chad Allen.
1:14:13
Adam
Yeah, you'll go by Allen.
1:14:15
Drew
What?
1:14:15
Adam
Yeah, you won't go by Chad. I'm saying there's no 50-year-old guy named Chad.
1:14:19
Caller
Anyway, I'm going to change my name now.
1:14:21
Adam
Okay, go ahead.
1:14:23
Caller
Okay, I got a big problem and I need some advice more than anything.
1:14:28
Caller
All right.
1:14:29
Caller
Just last Tuesday, I had a date with my girlfriend and she came over to my house at first and I was upstairs and I came down and her and my younger sister were being a little more than friendly with each other.
1:14:45
Drew
How old is your sister?
1:14:46
Caller
She's 17.
1:14:48
Drew
And how old is the girlfriend?
1:14:49
Caller
18.
1:14:52
Adam
And were they just making out?
1:14:55
Caller
Yeah, pretty much.
1:14:57
Drew
And did you say anything?
1:14:58
Adam
They didn't hear you coming down the stairs or anything?
1:15:00
Caller
They didn't see me and what I need to know is how would I approach this and fix this problem? Any other girl would have been great, but not my sister.
1:15:08
Adam
What did you do when you saw them?
1:15:11
Caller
I pretty much just about flipped out and walked back upstairs and then made a loud entrance.
1:15:18
Drew
Did you proceed with the date?
1:15:19
Caller
Yeah.
1:15:20
Drew
And just where did you go?
1:15:21
Caller
What?
1:15:22
Adam
Where did you go on the date?
1:15:23
Caller
We went out to dinner and then watched Star Wars.
1:15:26
Adam
What restaurant?
1:15:27
Caller
Huh?
1:15:27
Adam
Which restaurant?
1:15:28
Caller
Taco Bell.
1:15:29
Adam
Seriously? Yeah.
1:15:31
Drew
It was a complete Star Wars night. It's a complete Star Wars evening.
1:15:34
Adam
Taco Bell is the date.
1:15:36
Caller
Yeah, we're going to win a million dollars. That's all there is to it.
1:15:39
Adam
Oh, really?
1:15:39
Drew
Did you get the toys?
1:15:40
Caller
Yeah.
1:15:41
Adam
Are they having that giveaway?
1:15:42
Caller
What?
1:15:43
Adam
They have that giveaway where the Colonel and that chick in the mid-drift halter is firing a laser gun and he's out there with that Chihuahua.
1:15:52
Caller
Yeah, pretty much.
1:15:53
Adam
I find that commercial very confusing. I can't figure out if it's Colonel Sanders or the Taco Bell dog or who that chick is.
1:16:01
Caller
See, they're all in cahoots. That's what you're doing.
1:16:03
Adam
I see. Okay. All right.
1:16:05
Caller
Anyway.
1:16:05
Adam
Okay, Chad.
1:16:07
Caller
Alan, please call me Alan.
1:16:12
Adam
Alan, why don't you just break up with your girlfriend? I really think this is bizarre behavior.
1:16:19
Drew
Or, well.
1:16:19
Caller
I thought so too. I was just looking for a little better advice than that.
1:16:23
Drew
Okay.
1:16:24
Adam
Kill yourself and break up with your girlfriend.
1:16:26
Drew
Advice that made you feel better, which may not be a better advice, in fact. I think you reasonably give your girlfriend an opportunity to explain what you saw. And you should definitely tell her what you saw. But I don't know that I trust any explanation she had to give you, because it's such a violation of boundaries. So bad. Yeah.
1:16:44
Adam
But Drew, don't you believe, even if you're stupid, don't you believe there's a part of you that when you start making out with somebody, and there's somebody upstairs, like saying, listen, I'll be down in a minute. We're running late. And you begin to sort of start making out with them, not in a hall closet, but on the sofa kind of thing. Isn't there sort of a part of you that thinks, I don't mind if this guy finds out or even I don't want to tell him, but I want to tell him or I want to whip things up just a little bit. I want to stir things up.
1:17:20
Drew
I'm sure it's experienced as I don't care. It's just what I want to do at the moment. And I don't care.
1:17:25
Adam
What about the sort of chaotic side of it?
1:17:28
Drew
That's of course, that's where chaos comes from.
1:17:30
Adam
Yeah, but wanting you to experience the chaos, wanting to send a little something through your spot, mix it up a little. Jesus Christ. All right. All right, so let me just make a quick guess. Chad's sister is also a little chaotic. Chad may come from some chaos and that's what attracted him to the chaos queen. Oh, Chad's mom a little chaotic. One second. Chad?
1:17:56
Caller
Yes.
1:17:57
Adam
Is your mom a little chaotic?
1:17:59
Caller
No, not at all. I have very normal parents.
1:18:01
Drew
What's up with your sister, then?
1:18:03
Caller
I don't know. She's going through a little rebel stage, I would guess.
1:18:06
Adam
No kidding.
1:18:09
Caller
I think it was more disturbing than anything to see my sister doing something like that, more than it was to see my date doing something like that.
1:18:16
Drew
Well, we both were violating your trust greatly.
1:18:20
Adam
All right. Wow. Talk about a rebel stage. I think my sister went through a few of those, but she never made out with a date of mine. Thank God. All right. So anyway, Chad, tell her, give her a chance to explain yourself. Amy?
1:18:36
Caller
Yeah.
1:18:37
Adam
You're 14.
1:18:37
Caller
Yes, I am.
1:18:38
Adam
What's going on?
1:18:39
Caller
Well, okay. My boyfriend and I have been going out for like four and a half months, just about, and he's like really great. You know, I think he's one of the best things that's ever happened to me.
1:18:50
Drew
How old is he?
1:18:51
Caller
How old is he? 14. And you know, he's nice, he's kind, but he's kind of been more than hinting that he wants to have sex with me. He's actually told me and he's been like, you know, planning it all out for me and I'm not interested in that.
1:19:10
Drew
Have you told him you're not interested?
1:19:11
Caller
No.
1:19:12
Drew
You gotta tell him.
1:19:12
Adam
I picture like Vince Lombardi standing at the chalkboard.
1:19:16
Drew
Yeah.
1:19:17
Adam
And, you know, with some X's and some O's.
1:19:20
Caller
Yeah.
1:19:21
Adam
All right. You'll be here. I'll be here. Now, you're going to slide into the number two gap and I'm going to come across and I'm going to get my shoulder on the front side of your right hip and I'm going to try to drive you out and clear this area out here and then my penis can come running right up the middle. Right up the gut. Hell bent for real action. For pay dirt.
1:19:42
Caller
That's like exactly what he's doing.
1:19:45
Drew
Well, it's not abnormal. Nothing wrong with him for sort of being interested in that or pushing it, but you need to make clear what you want and if indeed he's the guy you think he is, he'll be all right to wait. He's only 14. He can hang in for a while.
1:19:56
Adam
He's off with the communication too. She's 14. She doesn't wait too much communicating.
1:20:01
Drew
No, she doesn't.
1:20:02
Adam
I mean, they're really talking things out. He feels a little too comfortable.
1:20:05
Drew
Yeah, that's the problem. She's got it. She's open communication but hasn't asserted herself. She hasn't let herself, her feelings be known.
1:20:12
Adam
Listen, one of the worst notions you can insert into a relationship is that, we gotta be honest, we gotta talk about all our feelings, whatever you're thinking, I wanna know. We gotta be wide open. Bad idea.
1:20:28
Drew
No, it's a good idea to be able to have mutuality, to be able to say, I acknowledge your feelings and here's mine. Right.
1:20:34
Adam
But Drew, you've learned from your marriage, you don't just start popping off about stuff that's running through your mind.
1:20:41
Drew
No, you concern yourself.
1:20:42
Adam
Not when it concerns her.
1:20:43
Drew
You concern yourself with how the other person is going to feel about it, but you find a way to be heard.
1:20:47
Adam
You come up with something else. Yeah, but Drew, as a guy, you don't really have demands or concerns, do you? Yeah. Do you?
1:20:55
Drew
I mean, they're not, I think what you're thinking of is like, you know, Emotional, menial concerns.
1:21:00
Adam
No, I mean, like the concerns you have is like, who's driving the kids to school? We're out of canned peaches and the kids are pitching a fit. I want to rent this movie tonight.
1:21:12
Drew
You have to get into a marriage. You have to keep working on the emotional stuff.
1:21:15
Adam
You have like emotional concerns.
1:21:18
Drew
Yeah. Yeah, you gotta keep on.
1:21:19
Adam
Your emotional concern is she's getting pissed off and I'm going to get my hands kicked. That's your emotional concern, but it's like you're not making a lot of demands. No, I mean, here's what it is. It could quite honestly. I'm just starting to get into this relationship with your outside. Yeah, your emotional concern is a guy is not pissing off your woman.
1:21:40
Drew
That's right. That's your that is your concern and and also being heard clearly. And you got to you know, when you do have something you want to be heard about, you need to be sure it's being heard without pissing them off.
1:21:51
Adam
Guys, I don't know any guys that are really worried about the emotional end of the relationship as it pertains to their feelings being met, their needs being met, their feelings being heard. What it is, is I don't want Hearst freaking out on me just because she thinks I wasn't listening. That's where that's what it is. It's weird. It's like this. It's like you're here's what it is. It's like you're in a dinghy that's taking on water and you have to bail every once in a while. And then there's a point where you just get to sit in the water for a while and relax. And then the frantic bailing begins. And then you sit in the water and relax again. But you never even think about getting up on the top deck and sunning yourself for playing shuffleboard. This is a sort of constant bailing process. You don't dream of like, hey, what's on the menu?
1:22:43
Drew
No, but you do some bail.
1:22:44
Adam
Just bail.
1:22:46
Drew
It depends where you're at. But you're bailing sometimes. And sometimes you're on the sun deck.
1:22:50
Adam
The guys just don't need anything. I mean, look, don't cheat on me. Don't eff up the kids. Give me a little sex every once in a while. Don't spend us into the poor house. Get off the ass and, you know, rattle the pots and pans every once in a while. Take care of a little business around the house. And don't get loaded making ass of me at the company picnic. Other than that, there's not a whole like, come on, I need this.
1:23:14
Drew
GIO What if they were professional life or something that you're feeling sort of left out or attended to or...
1:23:19
Adam
David I don't care. For me, that's a plus. See, Drew, for me, the pressure is taken off.
1:23:25
Drew
GIO I understand.
1:23:25
Adam
David Well, you're working 65 hours a week. You come home, you're tired. All you want to do is chill out, watch some TV. Great, go to the next room. I'll be in this one. You know what I'm saying? GIO Yeah.
1:23:34
Drew
The guy can tell you much more of that.
1:23:36
Adam
David Much more of that. I think man can subsist on that for long periods of time. All right, Mike, am I right? Yeah. When's the last time you felt like you really needed something from a woman other than sex or for her to stop yelling at you? You know what I mean? It's funny that the guy's biggest emotional need is for them to stop yelling at them.
1:24:02
Caller
GIO I don't get yelled at.
1:24:03
Adam
I know, I know, because the VCR never talks about it.
1:24:06
Drew
His relationship is too much old.
1:24:07
Adam
Oh, that's true. I give it time. All right, Annie Scott, he dates a flight attendant, so she's out of town constantly. That's a dream gig. Who cares?
1:24:16
Drew
Alaska, Alaska.
1:24:17
Adam
It's a good one. Bringing home this little packets of nuts and pretzels.
1:24:21
Caller
Nice.
1:24:22
Adam
All right, we'll take a little break. We'll be back.
1:24:26
Loveline will be right back.
1:24:39
Adam
Loveline. It's the Loveline. We're going to go back to the phones. Fair enough. William. Yeah. Hold on a second. I didn't want to talk to William. I talked to two 14-year-olds in a row. I want to talk to Jay. Jay?
1:25:00
Caller
Yeah.
1:25:00
Adam
You're 23?
1:25:01
Caller
Yeah.
1:25:02
Adam
William, we'll talk to you in a minute.
1:25:04
Caller
That was good.
1:25:06
Adam
Big fart go. Yeah. What's going on with you, Jay?
1:25:11
Caller
I had a head injury about a year and a half ago.
1:25:14
Adam
What happened?
1:25:15
Caller
I had about 400 pounds fall on my head. Yeah.
1:25:19
Adam
Your girlfriend rolled over?
1:25:21
Caller
No. It was a big piece of metal.
1:25:25
Adam
Where were you?
1:25:27
Caller
I was on a ship in the Navy.
1:25:29
Adam
And what was it that fell on your head?
1:25:32
Caller
A hatch.
1:25:33
Adam
Oh, yeah. That's a bad scene. And so the hatch was open and your head was sticking up out of it and it slammed shut?
1:25:40
Caller
Yeah.
1:25:42
Adam
And what did it do? Send you right back down the ladder or whatever it was?
1:25:45
Caller
Yeah.
1:25:46
Drew
And no neck injury with that?
1:25:48
Caller
Not that they found.
1:25:49
Drew
Okay.
1:25:50
Caller
But they think nothing's wrong, though.
1:25:52
Drew
Good.
1:25:53
Caller
I mean...
1:25:53
Drew
No skull fracture?
1:25:55
Caller
No. Not the x-ray showed.
1:25:57
Drew
Wow. Okay.
1:25:58
Adam
What happened? How did it happen?
1:26:00
Caller
Well, it just wouldn't put up right and it just collapsed.
1:26:04
Adam
Yeah. Seems like it happened.
1:26:07
Caller
All right.
1:26:08
Drew
So what's the question, Jay?
1:26:10
Caller
I've had a lot of side effects from it, like starting speech, memory loss.
1:26:14
Drew
Yeah.
1:26:16
Caller
And every once in a while I get bloody noses real bad. If I get overworked up, I get a bloody nose.
1:26:23
Adam
What is that, Drew?
1:26:24
Drew
Why the bloody nose?
1:26:25
Adam
Yeah.
1:26:26
Drew
I'm not sure. I'm trying to figure that out, in fact. Maybe he had some sort of injury, some sort of fracture of the plates in there that was undetected. But even that, things like leaking cerebral spinal fluid can occur. You wouldn't typically get bloody.
1:26:40
Caller
I get a lot of neck pain.
1:26:43
Drew
Well, that's no surprise. I mean, I'm sure you have some kind of neck pain.
1:26:45
Adam
Some people get bloody noses anyway.
1:26:48
Drew
You're not on any medication right now?
1:26:50
Caller
No, I was on midrin for my migraines.
1:26:53
Drew
Yeah.
1:26:53
Caller
And I've become immune to it.
1:26:55
Drew
Would you take anything else?
1:26:57
Caller
They had me on all kinds of stuff, anywhere from Pamelaure to Verpamil.
1:27:04
Drew
Verpamil?
1:27:05
Caller
Yeah, Verpamil.
1:27:07
Drew
Well, some of these things can... Seen in your blood? Not those particularly, but they are predisposed to bleeding. So maybe it's really the medication that's the issue and not so much anything structural in your head.
1:27:19
Caller
What about the migraines and the other stuff? They keep telling me nothing's wrong. That just don't seem normal.
1:27:30
Drew
Well, look, you've had a major, major head injury. It's not like nothing's wrong. But it's more that nothing else is wrong. Do you understand?
1:27:39
Caller
Yeah.
1:27:40
Drew
That to have headaches, to have memory problems, personality changes, mood disturbances, all that is part of a major head injury.
1:27:46
Adam
Well, it says you get bloody noses during sex.
1:27:49
Caller
Yeah.
1:27:50
Adam
Is that true?
1:27:50
Caller
That's the main, main part.
1:27:53
Drew
Well, again.
1:27:54
Adam
Is it because you were doing too much blow with the hookers before you got with them?
1:27:59
Caller
No.
1:28:01
Adam
Listen, where did you go when you were in the Navy? You went right for the Philippines, right?
1:28:06
Caller
No. I stopped in Thailand.
1:28:08
Adam
Yeah.
1:28:08
Drew
Then the Philippines.
1:28:09
Adam
Pick up hookers, gas up, pick up some hookers, and then we're going to the Philippines. What is going on over there that we need? I've said this many a time. Why do we, everyone who gets enlisted has to go to the Philippines and get laid and then come back home again?
1:28:22
Caller
I never did anything like that. I've been happily married two years tomorrow.
1:28:25
Adam
Really? Yeah. You were in the Navy and you never had sex with a hooker?
1:28:30
Caller
No.
1:28:30
Adam
Couldn't you be court-martialed for that, Drew? You've been brought up on charges? All right. Well, listen, God bless you, Jay. So you get it because you're exerting yourself, you're having sex, you're getting excited?
1:28:45
Caller
Yeah.
1:28:46
Adam
Is that-
1:28:46
Drew
So avoid things that can cause bleeding in the anti-inflammatory, as aspirins, that sort of thing.
1:28:52
Caller
What? I've also lost a lot of interest in it, too.
1:28:55
Drew
Yeah. Well, you've had a major head injury, Jay, all kind- See, people don't understand how awful head injuries are. But I mean, somehow, since the world of cartoons and the Three Stooges have developed, you get a frying pan in the head and you just- It's a do-ing and that's it. You get a head injury enough to knock you out, you're going to be different afterwards for a long time. And if you have a major head injury, even if it's closed, that is to say no skull fracture or anything else, and nothing even happens structurally inside, like you can't see any bleeding or anything major structural goes on, you could be a different person permanently.
1:29:29
Adam
I've been knocked out a few times.
1:29:30
Drew
Well, that explains something. But the fact is-
1:29:33
Adam
When I was young, is that bad?
1:29:35
Drew
Post-concussive syndromes are extremely complicated, and he has a full syndrome going here, and it may take a long time to settle down if ever.
1:29:44
Adam
So worse to get knocked down when you're younger or better? Say it's better? You don't know?
1:29:50
Drew
You're more resilient generally when you're younger, but then again, there's more opportunity for stuff to go awry.
1:29:54
Adam
I used to play the violin like an Asian exchange student. I really did. One day after football practice-
1:30:02
Drew
Couldn't read after that.
1:30:03
Adam
Nope. Could no longer compose. Had to sell my Stradivarius to one of my friends. Who stole it for drugs? Hit me on the head with it today. A classic El Cabong kind of move. Shauna?
1:30:17
Caller
Yeah, hi.
1:30:18
Adam
You're 18. What's going on?
1:30:20
Caller
I'm wondering if you can be allergic to marijuana because I come from a family of really heavy marijuana smokers.
1:30:28
Drew
Allergy means that you have what's called an IgE-mediated mast cell reaction. That is to say rash and itching, hives, runny nose, asthma. That's allergy. Anything else is an adverse reaction, some sort of negative reaction to the drug. People get all kinds of strange reactions in the pod. People can hallucinate, people can have mood disturbances.
1:30:49
Adam
Why not that many people are allergic to it in the classic sense?
1:30:52
Drew
They get real allergy, no. People don't understand what allergy means. It means intolerant of, yes, some people are very intolerant of it.
1:30:59
Adam
Everyone's claims are allergic to everything, but I really bet that 85% of those people aren't allergic.
1:31:05
Drew
I love food allergy.
1:31:06
Adam
I'm allergic to chocolate. Really? Yeah, my ass gets big. My ass swells up when I eat it. Everyone's allergic to everything. I don't know of anything I'm allergic to, by the way. The only thing I do know is if I eat a good amount of fresh pineapple, I will start to get sweaty on my forehead. I mean, I can feel the heat in me if I take serious citrus acid, like a big fresh pressed grapefruit juice and I chug it all down, I'll start getting warm. I can feel myself getting warm and you'll see my face getting a little bit red. But that's about it.
1:31:42
Drew
Interesting.
1:31:43
Adam
Little beads of sweat on my forehead. Is that the acid?
1:31:46
Drew
It must cause you to dilate in some way, the vessels dilate in response to something.
1:31:50
Adam
William?
1:31:51
Caller
Yeah.
1:31:51
Adam
You're 14.
1:31:53
Caller
Yeah.
1:31:53
Adam
What's going on?
1:31:56
Caller
My parents are like real strict Christians.
1:32:00
Caller
And I want to have sex. And...
1:32:07
Adam
With your mom or your dad? Huh? With your mom or your dad?
1:32:13
Drew
William, you're 14.
1:32:14
Adam
Cool out, William.
1:32:15
Drew
William, you're 14. Cool out.
1:32:17
Adam
I see.
1:32:18
Drew
Don't be in a big hurry.
1:32:19
Adam
I thought you were talking about his parents. I'm sorry. Yeah. Are you a strict Christian?
1:32:26
Caller
Not that strict.
1:32:28
Adam
Okay. How old is your girlfriend?
1:32:31
Caller
She's 15.
1:32:33
Adam
And what are you doing with her?
1:32:39
Caller
Nothing yet.
1:32:40
Caller
We just talked about it.
1:32:41
Caller
Yeah.
1:32:41
Adam
But you're not having any kind of physical contact?
1:32:45
Caller
The most so far is kissing, making out.
1:32:50
Drew
Do your parents object to that?
1:32:53
Caller
They don't know.
1:32:55
Adam
Well, listen, William, just slow down, would you?
1:33:00
Drew
They're angry with your parents for being so strict.
1:33:02
Adam
I understand your parents are too strict, but...
1:33:05
Drew
They're trying to do what's good for you.
1:33:06
Adam
They have your best interest in mind, believe me. Amanda.
1:33:11
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:12
Adam
You're 19.
1:33:13
Caller
Yes, I am.
1:33:14
Adam
Real fast. Ex-boyfriend wants her back. She thinks there may be someone else.
1:33:20
Caller
Kind of. Not really.
1:33:21
Caller
I really just want to get a guy's opinion on this.
1:33:23
Caller
My ex-boyfriend and I broke up actually like a week ago. And it was because a lot of stuff going on in his life that he didn't feel that he could handle a relationship right now. But he says that in the long run he does want to get back together with me, but it's just like, I don't know.
1:33:37
Caller
I kind of don't know what to do.
1:33:38
Caller
I don't know if it was because he lost his job and he has a whole bunch of debt. And so he was stressing out about that. And I don't know if like that's like, I don't know from like a guy's thing, if like that would cause him to want to...
1:33:50
Adam
No, no, they don't like you. That's what causes it.
1:33:53
Drew
Or either somebody else or something.
1:33:54
Adam
Or somebody else.
1:33:56
Caller
Like I talk to him every day now. He still says that he still loves me. I told him like.
1:34:01
Drew
That may be, but he needs to be alone for some reason.
1:34:04
Caller
Yeah. And then like three days after we broke up, one of his friends was living in a trailer and the trailer caught on fire and he died in the fire. And he called me at 2.30 in the morning. And he's like said, he didn't call anybody else. The only person he could trust to talk to was me.
1:34:18
Drew
Yeah, well that's unfair to you, frankly.
1:34:21
Adam
Yeah, listen.
1:34:22
Drew
I'm glad you were there for him.
1:34:24
Adam
I'm sorry for his friend, but listen all you screwballs. Don't break up with somebody and then just call them when you get drunk or when someone dies in a trailer. Which could quite honestly be like every other weekend. I've had several hundred friends die in trailers over the last handful of years. I mean it, if you're going to break up with someone, then break up with them.
1:34:42
Drew
Don't screw with them.
1:34:44
Adam
Especially when you know they still have feelings for you.
1:34:47
Drew
They're just using them for your own emotional baggage.
1:34:49
Adam
Yeah, so you feel a little bit better. They're great. They're like, you know, break heart in case of emergency. Oh yeah.
1:34:58
Drew
So we don't trust this guy. You got to find out why he left in the first place. And if any of that's still going on, just stay away.
1:35:03
Adam
That's right. Yeah?
1:35:33
Drew
You're going to be an airplane pilot, aren't you?
1:35:35
Adam
All right.
1:35:35
Caller
There's a new career for you ahead.
1:35:37
Adam
We are done with the show. What comedy? I'm telling you, it's funny in months. Oh, cover that big bow. That one snuck out a little. I got to hurry home and clean myself up. The big date. So until next time, stand by.
