0:30🔗AdamListen, you bang away with that Marks-a-Lot marker all night long like you're in some sort of a tribe or something. So please, let's start this early. Alyson's from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Alyson plays Buffy's best friend Willa. We've had Alyson on the show, when was it, a year ago, Anne was saying?
1:03🔗Alyson HanniganI'm going to giggle all night.
1:06🔗AdamIn radio, they do these things called air checks, which is you do a air shift and then you take the cassette from whatever that two or three hour shift was and then you go into the program director's office. And all the program directors have a nice spanking new cassette deck in their office. And then they put it in and you painfully go over each detail of the show, which is you do the first like 30 seconds and then they go, then they stop the tape and they critique the 30 and then they let it run like maybe through the first call and then they stop. And you realize how bad you are. And that's why I never do that.
1:45🔗AdamAnd I know that this could be a better show. I could be a better host and Drew could be a better host as well. If we ever sat down and listen to those things. But it is so goddamn painful that I won't subject myself or my ego to it.
2:00🔗DrewAnd the program director is delighted about that.
2:03🔗AdamThankfully, he doesn't care that much. All right. So let's talk about that, Alyson. First off, as you know, Buffy the Vampire Slayer doing real well. Probably the most, one of the most successful shows WB currently has going.
2:29🔗AdamAnd have you been on since the word go over there?
2:34🔗Alyson HanniganNot since the word go, but since the show was picked up. The pilot presentation, I wasn't actually in it. Right. There was another one.
2:41🔗AdamAll right. Well, let the amateurs get it on the air and then you come in and mop up.
3:16🔗AdamYeah, we've been there. So tell tell the premise of that. And I want to see if this sounds familiar to Drew, because I think we had this conversation with other people from Dead Man on Campus.
3:26🔗DrewRight. It sounds familiar already. Just the name.
3:31🔗Alyson HanniganOK. Well, it starts Mark Paul Gossler. I can't really pronounce that last name. And Tom Everett Scott. And it's basically about these two roommates in college. And they sort of let their studies fall. And find a loophole in the college rule book saying that if their roommate died during the semester, then they get straight A's in their classes. So they try to find suicidal kids on campus and transfer them into their room and not...
5:15🔗AdamAnd does everyone sort of make their own schedule now? I mean, all the different networks. Didn't it used to be that, you know, people were all off at the same time and then went back to work at the same time?
6:09🔗Alyson HanniganWell, I mean, I get occasional days off, but like Sarah Geller, who is Buffy, she pretty much doesn't. So actually, that's not true. They pretty much stopped us at 14 hours last season. So once we hit 14 hours.
6:44🔗Alyson HanniganI don't know. I feel like hurry up, you know, because I'm so used to getting so much more complex.
6:49🔗AdamYou know, that's how Drew and I are, even from TV to TV, because when we do Loveline, we do four episodes sometimes, four hour long episodes in a long afternoon. I mean, literally to do four one hour episodes, it takes us about six and a half hours. And that's with lunch and the hookers and everything. And we went and did this sitcom once, although we killed the sitcom. If you ever want to get out of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you invite us on. We will kill the show. What shows did we kill? We killed Vibe.
7:24🔗AdamOh no, wait a minute. No, we killed Keenan.
7:26🔗DrewWell Vibe, we were just, we were asked to come on the night it got canceled.
7:29🔗AdamWe put the nail, we put the symbolic nail in Vibe, but we got rid of Keenan by doing four appearances on that show. Vibe, we did Vibe, and then we're gonna do it, but it was over. And then All Fired Up?
7:45🔗AdamOkay, I always want to say Just Shoot Me, but that's actually doing okay. Fired Up was a sitcom that we did that our episode never aired. Yeah, so we put that one away too.
7:56🔗Alyson HanniganWell please don't go in the Rosie O'Donnell show.
8:07🔗AdamWe have to get to them early before they have any success or at the end when they're petering out. Okay. Yeah, the magic people should be calling soon and mention. Oh, yes. Sure. They're probably phoning right now. Probably got the answering machine. All right, Sarah.
8:34🔗Alyson HanniganI have a problem. A couple months ago, there was a party over my brother's, and I don't spend that much time with my brother. So I was looking forward to this, and he lives about 20 minutes away. So I hardly see him.
9:49🔗Alyson HanniganOkay. Well, so I went down to his house, because he was having a party, so we were both kind of drunk. Well, I was really drunk, which he wasn't. And he asked me to come back to his room, so he could talk to me. And so I went back there, and he said that he needed to tell me something. And I was like, okay, go ahead. And he was like, no, no. I was like, go ahead, and you can tell me anything. And he said, well, I've been in love with you for a while.
10:16🔗AdamThat's healthy. I'm going to drop that bomb on my sister when she gets in from Germany in a couple months.
10:24🔗Alyson HanniganBut I don't know. I've been hanging out with him for about four years, a lot. So he told me that, and I didn't know what to say.
10:36🔗DrewToodaloo. I mean, don't hang out with him anymore.
11:49🔗Alyson HanniganThe story that I know is that he didn't know about it, which he was, okay, he was with his girlfriend and she supposedly told him that she was going in to get some money out and he supposedly didn't know about it until she come out and got busted.
12:07🔗AdamThere's a lot of that. Actually, there was this Tom Selleck movie I saw where he was framed in Jocely.
12:12🔗DrewOh, everyone in jail has been framed. Right.
12:14🔗AdamAll right, Sarah, your dad's a criminal. Well, your brother's the son of a criminal. And that's why he's kind of where he's at. But if I if I were you, I would stay as far away from that guy's house as possible.
12:56🔗DrewBut stay away. Don't be dragged back into this.
12:58🔗AdamOh, that's lovely, isn't it? God knows what else this guy's up to, by the way, if he can just go ahead and confront his sister sexually. Oh, let's say yes.
13:11🔗DrewHow dare I suggest that those dads fall?
13:16🔗DrewBut isn't it interesting how people want to defend their parents no matter how heinous they might be or have been?
13:20🔗AdamWell, you can't blame the guys. Old lady wanted to use the versatile. The next thing you know, the cops are running out of the place. You're sitting in the car. You're probably driving a minivan, and he was probably fixing his ascot or something.
14:22🔗AdamWell, it's not really something you have to write down though, Robert. If you see an active lesion on somebody, just go ahead and keep that tongue away.
14:29🔗DrewBut by the way, I mean, oral herpes is exceedingly common. It's again, you're responding to some notion that the herpes being some devastating condition. We're talking about a cold sore, a skin rash, okay?
14:51🔗I was just wondering, are you a psychiatrist?
14:53🔗DrewNo, I'm an internist, but I've been working. I've been running a department of medicine and addiction medicine in a psychiatric hospital for 10 years.
15:47🔗AdamThe only thing that keeps Drew and I away from each other's jugular is that we don't see each other on our current schedule called Fridays and Saturdays. Now, we brushed across each other on Saturday because of this MTV to-do, and we're already on each other just a little more because of that sort of booster shot we gave each other for just socially, just for, you know, 15 minutes on a Saturday. But when the schedule gets into full swing, meaning some college tours or the TV show, and it turns into seven days a week and then traveling together, that's when the fights start in the airport. I'm all drugged up on tranquilizers and Bloody Marys.
16:29🔗DrewWe had a couple, you know, an old couple just screaming about what the geography is we're about to go over and what the distances are.
16:35🔗AdamAlmost got a fistfight over what was farther to Denver, LAX, or the San Francisco airport.
16:41🔗DrewAt the booth, yeah. Screaming at each other.
16:45🔗AdamLet me explain why Drew pisses you off. You know when you're really tired and you're really strung out and you only got a couple hours sleep and you couldn't be in a worse mood and then you got to hang around somebody who's chipper and upbeat, wants to work out. Like he's saying, like you're saying, I think I'm just going to sleep in the car and that way I can get an extra eight minutes in. I'm not going to go check into the hotel because if I go check in, I'm only going to get 45 minutes sleep. But if I just sleep and stay in the car and you guys just come down and I change on the way to the gig, I can sleep for like 56 minutes. And Drew goes, I hope they have a place to work out. I'm going to kill you, man. You're lucky I'm so tired and lethargic. I would reach over and punch you. Then I start breaking wind and that's when the fun really begins. Katie.
17:41🔗CallerWell, lately I've been, well, I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years and ever since we started going out, I've been getting like hints that he's cheating on me.
17:53🔗CallerHe's 17 also. And people keep telling me, oh, he's doing things behind my back or whatever. And I have so many like clues that it's true, but I just I won't break up with him.
18:12🔗CallerWell, I've had people that have seen him with other girls. I've been over there when other girls have called. I've had other girls tell me that he's like talking to their friend.
18:49🔗DrewShe's the pursuer in this one. She's the one that has... the other guys have come to her and she's sort of allowed the relationship to happen. In this one, she wants that guy.
18:57🔗Alyson HanniganShe likes him more than he likes him.
19:22🔗DrewSo you understand how when somebody fills that role for you, it's so hard for you to let that person go because it's unearthing all those same feelings of abandonment that you've been dealing with your whole life?
20:02🔗CallerAnd when I was younger, he would call on my birthday or Christmas and he promised that he'd show up and he never did.
20:07🔗DrewYeah, see, that's what this guy is. That's exactly what this is.
20:10🔗AdamThat's sort of more of the parole board's fault than his.
20:13🔗DrewThis is what the new guy is. This is what this guy represents. And that's why you can't let go. You let go and boom, you were faced with all those same old feelings.
20:46🔗CallerWell, when I was younger, I guess I was probably about six. I told my mom that I thought that we in school, they showed us a movie about like bad, good touch, bad touch or whatever. And I told my mom about the movie and told her that I thought that her boyfriend was doing bad touch or whatever. And she didn't believe me and she asked him. She brought him in the room, made us all three talk. He like denied it. And since I was so young, I guess I kind of, I believe that I was wrong and I didn't know what I was talking about. They both convinced me that...
21:18🔗CallerNot after that. And I kind of forgot about it until a couple years ago. And then I remembered and I said something to my mom about it again. And she thinks that...
21:32🔗DrewIt's kind of moot. I mean, it just adds to more of the trauma of the situation. I mean, you had enough health to step up and go, hey, mom, by the way, something's going on here. Mom, as we know well, having married a felon and then brought and stepped out into the house wasn't all...
21:48🔗AdamBut Drew, the chances of her getting two bad seeds are almost astronomical, aren't they?
22:44🔗CallerNo, I don't know. I had a problem with my period one time. And I went to the school nurse and she thought that I was having a miscarriage. All right.
22:55🔗DrewBut, you know, if she can muster the resource, certainly her terminated relationship would turn around the dynamics of this situation in a way that she would have control over these feelings and wouldn't feel so victimized and abandoned by somebody else. She would be the one in control. She has the opportunity to do that. She can do it if she is able. And find somebody who is available and establish a relationship that is genuine and you'll have more strength to fight off this kind of nonsense.
23:23🔗AdamBut I do know something about the Bible from watching a lot of late night TV. And I know there's locusts and I know there's, you know, I don't know, one leader that's supposed to take over. You know, there's the apocalypse, you know, that we're heading toward. This I know. I don't know if they mention the calls that we get on this show about every second kid and America's dad's in prison and, you know, stepdad's feeling them up and everyone's pregnant at 15. But Jesus, that's got to be in there, doesn't it? I mean, screw locusts, by the way. We could deal with those. Okay. Alyson, you all right?
24:03🔗Alyson HanniganYeah, I think I have locusts behind my house.
24:06🔗AdamOh, okay. So that's it. That's the missing part of the puzzle. And we'll be back.
24:12🔗Loveline's phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. We'll be right back. W-E-B-N.
24:41🔗CallerHey, this is Tyra Banks, and you're listening to Love Line with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
24:46🔗AdamYes, you is. Alyson Hannigan is here from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
25:22🔗DrewIt was one of the lowest moments I can recall.
25:24🔗AdamYeah. I said, the guy, couldn't I just drop my pants and weep and save some face here instead of the dubba dubba dubba dubba? Listen, I want to put this out because I know the entertainment industry listens to the show on occasion, many of them driving home, not from work, but from bars at this time of night, and they tune in. And please come to me with all your lame ass ideas before you unleash them on an unforgiving public. Because Drew, as you know, I am like the emperor. I either give the thumbs up or the thumbs down. And when they told us to do this god-awful dubba dubba dubba dubba WB campaign, it was two and a half years ago.
26:10🔗AdamWhatever it was, it was before the dubba dubba dubba WB thing got off the ground. And I said to Drew, this is the lamest idea I've ever heard in my life.
26:19🔗DrewWe thought there was a mistake, and we were like, it's right, you just did a screw up.
26:23🔗AdamIt's funny, they take it serious. I'm like, hey, watch Loveline on the dubba dubba dubba dubba WB. Adam, you're short of dubba.
26:33🔗DrewYeah, three more dubbas, that's it. Go, do it again.
26:35🔗Alyson HanniganWell, if you call WB, they have to answer the phone. Dubba dubba dubba WB or something.
26:40🔗AdamThat's got to hurt. That's got to smart. So listen, all you moronic TV people, come to me at no cost. I will sit down and tell you how bad your ideas are.
26:49🔗Alyson HanniganBut they already know now. Now they've gone.
26:52🔗AdamI know, but believe me, there'll be others. Believe me, there'll be others.
26:56🔗Alyson HanniganOkay, well, the WB is clear now.
26:57🔗AdamAnd as a matter of fact, the guy, the moron who came up with the dubba dubba dubba thing, don't worry, he hasn't been fired. They're still looking to him for ideas. I know how TV works.
27:07🔗DrewLet me say something in defense of WB. I did a presentation, a panel on sort of young people's issues. And the WB was one that really came to the table and was interested in learning and trying to create programs.
27:20🔗AdamWell, they're desperate. They have such a horrible campaign. They need new talent.
27:23🔗Alyson HanniganThey have a great campaign now.
27:25🔗DrewI thought they were really genuine in their desire to do something real. That was, that showed something.
27:31🔗Alyson HanniganThey've changed it. Adam, I'll have somebody send it to you.
27:39🔗AdamAnd a beta. I'm not buying into this whole VHSBS. I'm still sticking with beta. Not that there's anything wrong with the network. I'm just saying the campaign has gone awful. And let me explain the difference between TV and other industries. When I worked construction for many years, if we had a guy who showed up drunk and hung drywall sideways so it made an argyle pattern on the wall instead of doing it like he should have done it, and the studs were 18 and a half inch on center instead of 16 and a half inch on center, we'd fire his ass. In TV you get a promotion.
28:40🔗Alyson HanniganYeah. It was built in the 60s and they were probably doing way too many drugs.
28:45🔗AdamYeah. That hole, they don't build them how they used to. I got a house from 1923. They were real assholes back then.
28:50🔗DrewMy wife made me watch three seconds tonight of a newscast from the 60s where they're interviewing people that were doing drugs from the time which drugs were starting to really hit the scene. It's no wonder that people rejected the information that was available the way they presented it just like, This person dropped acid 25 times. Here are his brain waves on acid. And it talked with this very paternalistic, authoritarian tone.
29:16🔗DrewYeah, absolutely. And of course people dismissed that. And the questions they asked the poor people who were suffering brain injury from was just pathetic. It went to journalists running amok again.
29:27🔗AdamYeah. Well, that's why you tune out the man. What is it?
29:34🔗Alyson HanniganI wanted to talk to Alyson and say how much I appreciate your show. And my friends and I all have to see it. And it's wonderful. I wanted to know how your health is because I know you're having some trouble.
30:21🔗DrewEven if it had not been that case, just having your tonsils out as an adult is a miserable experience.
30:26🔗AdamI got news for you. That wasn't your tonsils. They pulled that out of some drifter about 40 years ago, and they show them every time someone gets their tonsils out.
30:37🔗Alyson HanniganWell, that was pretty much it, and I wanted to voice my appreciation for the writers of Buffy.
30:43🔗Alyson HanniganYes, we have a wonderful writer.
30:44🔗Alyson HanniganYes, because I think it's definitely the best young adult show out there. I have many friends who are in their 20s and 30s that love to watch the show every time.
31:11🔗AdamAsians are pissed off about me talking about the Asian hookers, the junior college students and you know the junior college students are pissed when they compose a letter that's a page long because that took them four days, Drew.
31:25🔗DrewBut you get the same criticism on the same issue about junior colleges is that a lot of people excel after going there when they don't have the resources financially to go to university.
31:35🔗AdamOnly the Asians, ironically. I want to work the two letters. I'm going to work them into one hate letter.
31:47🔗AdamAll right. You know what pisses me off about people? They get pissed at me. That's really the one thing that bugs me about people. But you know, you can't say anything good about people, you can't say anything bad about people. You know, we had the guys in, I was saying how Asian families put a, they value an education more than the Anglo types. Am I right, Drew? Wouldn't you say that's a fair stereotype?
32:09🔗DrewAt this point in history, there are people from Asian countries who are putting a lot in, as immigrants have throughout history in this country, a lot of emphasis on their kids' opportunity to go forward.
32:19🔗AdamRight. But there's also Asian hookers, isn't there? You're saying they don't exist? Okay. Alyson?
32:33🔗CallerOkay. The other night, I came home from work and I just moved out of house three months ago to college. I've never met these girls before and we've been living together for about three months. The other night, I came home from work and they was just going at it on the couch. I mean, I couldn't believe it.
33:09🔗CallerAnd my mom is an evangelist and my dad is a lawyer. So, gay, lesbian never came up in our house. And I don't know how to live. I don't know how to tell them exactly, you know, that I know because I really don't want to move out.
33:25🔗AdamDo you have to move out just because your mom's an evangelist?
33:33🔗CallerNo, my dad's not Jewish. He's a lawyer.
33:36🔗AdamHe's a lawyer. All right, write those letters.
33:42🔗CallerAnd it just really, it kind of made me mad because when I first moved in, they never said anything to me or anything. And I don't want to move like all the way.
34:06🔗DrewBig deal. And they happen to be lesbians.
34:08🔗CallerYeah, but it's just totally different now. Why? Because we're on the same swim team and everything. And now when they touch me or I just get the wrong idea and it just freaks me out.
34:18🔗DrewWhy don't you make it clear to them that you're not gay and you're not going to be gay and that you appreciate it if they keep their relationship behind the closed door of their room and that there be specific boundaries and rules in the household like you would if there were a heterosexual couple living there.
34:33🔗CallerThey were there before me. I mean, they're the ones.
34:35🔗DrewWell, but you're there now and you have an opportunity to be a member of the household and to let your wishes be known. And not, you know, these are your friends.
34:44🔗AdamSo you just opened the front door and walked right in and they didn't flinch?
34:47🔗CallerWell, see, the computer room is on the left and the living room is on the right. They didn't see it.
34:52🔗AdamMan, the Inigo girls cranked up so loud they couldn't hear anything.
34:56🔗CallerI just couldn't believe it. I mean, they had their clothes off and everything.
34:59🔗AdamOh, my God. Well, that's one thing that involves in the satanic ritual of lesbianism, but it's another thing to do it without your clothes on.
35:08🔗CallerOkay, well, I have a boyfriend and I told him about it.
35:13🔗CallerAnd he is like all for, I mean, he like comes over all the time.
35:18🔗DrewOh, God. That's the thing you should be outraged about. Forgot to cry out loud. Your boyfriend's trying to, I mean, it's so pathetic. Men are pathetic. Oh, I know. Poor guy had no compassion for what you were dealing with, which I, you know, your feelings are valid, although they're kind of based, you know, it's sort of a fantasy. Well, your feelings are your feelings.
35:38🔗AdamEvangelist-lawyer combinations are pretty potent psychological dynamic to grow up amongst. I mean, a lawyer alone, that's enough. Evangelist enough. The two, that is a one-two punch emotional.
35:50🔗DrewYou have a boyfriend. Hopefully, he can be supportive of your feelings and not focus on trying to catch a glimpse of some lesbian action.
36:03🔗AdamNo, please. The guy's got to do something.
36:06🔗DrewAll right. But look, I just think you set some boundaries in the household and keep focused on the fact that these are your friends, that you have issues with homosexuality. It's not their issue. It's yours. It frightens you and it overwhelms you. You don't know how to deal with it. You'll learn something about it. There's a lot of homosexual people in the world and they're fine. They're good people just like you.
36:24🔗CallerI told my boyfriend about it and he's like, well, maybe you're so homophobic, you might just want to get in bed with him.
36:34🔗DrewYou should be much more disturbed about this boyfriend than anything else in this story. That's a much more serious problem.
36:41🔗AdamLet me tell you the beauty of Alyson and the way folks like Alyson think. The more the boyfriend brings it up, the more she gets pissed at the girls.
36:50🔗AdamRight. You see, that's what I love about good religious thinking. Do you see the connection there? This is why I don't like religion for the most part. He can bring up lesbianism, threesomes, wanting to walk in, wanting to get you involved with them, wanting to set up a video, and you'll get more and more pissed off at these two lonely lesbians who aren't really doing anything except for messing up one side of the sofa. Now, focus. Make this your own issue and your boyfriend's issue, and don't make a big deal out of it.
37:20🔗DrewRemember that these are your friends. That's all. And that you have a right to certain boundaries and propriety in your house. That's all.
37:28🔗AdamI'd love to find a woman like this. Do you know what I'm saying?
37:32🔗AdamHey, he just keeps going off about the lesbianism. She gets more and more angry at the lesbian.
37:37🔗DrewThis is like the girl, the guy that cheats on his girlfriend, and the girl gets mad at the girl he cheats with. Right.
37:42🔗AdamRight. That's good. Yeah, it's like your dog takes a dump on the throw rug, and you get pissed at the rug. Yeah. Because if the rug wasn't there, the dog would have just crapped into space.
37:51🔗AdamThe dog would, the cramp would just be floating out in some black hole somewhere, entering the Milky Way. All right. Alyson is here from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and we will be back.
38:02🔗CallerYou have five seconds. Hey, this is Paul.
38:28🔗And this is Steve, and we're Smash Mouth, and you're listening to Love Lines with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
38:33🔗AdamYes, you is. Couple of remakes going on out there. This is one of them. Good song, though. I think they did a good job on it. Okay, Drew. Alyson Hannigan is here. You haven't heard this? I can't get enough of it. You know the original?
38:53🔗AdamOh, you do? All right. Alyson Hannigan is here from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Tuesday nights, 8 o'clock on the...
39:01🔗DrewIsn't Smash Mouth the guys that keep telling us they're going to come up here and never do?
39:04🔗AdamI run into Steve from Smash Mouth everywhere. He's always drunk. Coincidentally, I'm usually drunk when I run into him because it's some concert thing. He gives me a bear hug. He throws me over his shoulder and gets me in a suplex and gives me the pile driver and then swears up and down he's going to be in LA. Usually it's a day or two after whatever it is wherever we are and then he never shows up. That's all right. Gives me a nice bear hug. Jennifer?
40:09🔗AdamWhat would it be equivalent to out here? Is it like a Gelson's or is it a Lucky's?
40:13🔗Alyson HanniganI think it's a Gelson's. But I don't know.
40:16🔗DrewYou have a right to assume in the workplace that you're not going to be harassed in this fashion. I mean, if you really don't like the way he's treating you, you need to tell a manager. That is out of line. It's one thing that you kind of are aware that he's had a crush on you. That's harmless enough. But if he is intruding on you, making you uncomfortable, affecting your comfort in the workplace, serious issue. I would take it up with a manager. If you can't communicate it to them, maybe the manager can help you set the boundaries and make things clearer so it isn't ultimately more uncomfortable for you.
40:52🔗DrewNo. And be sure to tell the manager, too, that you're not, you know, you're concerned about it being a healthy work environment. You don't want to upset the guy and create all kinds of god knows what kind of reaction from him. But you need the manager's help in setting down some boundaries.
41:37🔗AdamOkay. All right. Tell him first and give him a chance and then tell the manager. This is what I always believe, that you need to give people even if the guy's a little bit out of line, you need to give people the opportunity to correct their behavior without somebody correcting it for them.
41:54🔗DrewIt's hard, though, if somebody feels overwhelmed or threatened.
41:58🔗AdamThat's true. Yeah, it's on the other hand, it's weird because you go tell the manager, then the manager comes down on him like a hammer and now he comes, he passes you and he looks down at his shoes when he walks by and you got to go to work with this guy.
42:13🔗DrewThat's what I was referring to, right, that maybe the manager can help her communicate it to him in a way that's effective without getting him angry and aggressive. Who knows what, reacting in some way.
42:24🔗AdamThe beauty of this is, especially if it's a big chain, everyone is so paranoid these days of any kind of sexual harassment case or anything like that. Everyone goes to sensitivity training and all that other BS, so they're going to take it seriously. Am I right, Drew? Yep, all right. JR.
42:45🔗Dr. Drew, I have a question for you. Yeah. My sister was hit by a car a couple of years ago and she lived through it and she's fine. She ice skates now and stuff like that, but I was wondering if that could have psychological problems on me because. Sure. I thought I was cool with it and stuff like that, but I was in a CPR class the other day and all of a sudden I got panic attack. I got really hot, I couldn't see, I couldn't hear.
43:08🔗DrewAll right. Panic attacks are just one of the most miserable experiences the humans get to go through, and most people experience them as a sense of impending doom, where they've become preoccupied that they're going to have a heart attack, they get chest pain, they feel like they're going to have a stroke, they feel like they're going to go crazy, and anything you can imagine that seems an ultimate experience is going through your mind, your heart races, you get short of breath, you feel like you can't walk, can't see as you're describing, and these are panic attacks and lots of people get these.
43:37🔗AdamWere you present when your sister got hit by the car?
43:41🔗DrewI mean, certainly this could be obviously just a sort of a remnant of that whole traumatic experience, sort of what would be sort of couched under the classification of a post-traumatic stress disturbance. It might be that you're depressed, it might be that you have a bonafide panic disorder that's coming out now.
43:56🔗AdamWell, I think part of it is too is the particular YJR went to the YMCA, they couldn't afford a CPR dummy, so they used a cadaver and that brought on.
44:06🔗DrewThink of a little panic. But in their drugs that induce panic attacks, cocaine use can induce panic up to five years after the use. Panic, again, can be part of a multiplicity of different syndromes. In your case, it sounds like it's a natural result of having been a part of that trauma.
44:21🔗AdamThat's enough about panicking. What happened? Did she run across the street?
44:25🔗DrewI got to finish. You got to make sure, though, JR., this is important, that you be sure that you don't have any medical problems like thyroid conditions. There are things, there are plenty of medical conditions, medications, that can precipitate what would otherwise be seen as panic attack. Go ahead, Adam.
44:40🔗AdamHe probably didn't really have a panic attack. He probably just got a little dry mouth and went to sit out. JR.?
44:48🔗AdamYeah. JR doesn't sound capable of a panic attack. It doesn't nudge him to get him to talk on the radio. Did you have a full blown panic attack, JR.?
45:00🔗AdamOkay. What happened with your sister? Did she run across the street and you saw it happen?
45:05🔗No, she was crossing the street and it was like a blind curve and the guy went on the wrong side of the street to go around her but she darted for the house and it happened.
46:52🔗AdamYeah. That's my life. I went to public school.
46:54🔗Alyson HanniganWe went to the same school, I think. Didn't we have this conversation?
46:57🔗AdamYes. We did? Wow. Heavy, man. Yeah. That's where the man was trying to keep me down.
47:03🔗DrewDid a good job of it too. Only it succeeded.
47:05🔗AdamYou know, when you go to hippie school your whole life and then you go to public school, I remember some kid going to me. I think I told this before but it bears repainting. Some kid said to me, hey, the bell rang. I didn't know what the bell was ringing for. I thought it was some sort of fire drill. He goes, and I was just standing around and everyone else was scattering to class and he goes, you better hurry up, you're going to be tardy. I was like, what's tardy? Tardy isn't a word that exists anywhere but public schools. It's not in the hippie schools and there's no tardy at work or anything else. I mean, tardy is something you learn in public school. Bunch of guys with crew cuts hitting other guys with utility balls in a big chain link fence environment. Yeah, oppressive, man. Couldn't spread my wings, couldn't finger paint, couldn't play with clay. Okay, we'll be back.
48:31🔗AdamIt is Love Line. I'm Adam Corolla. That be Dr. Drew. Phone number for Love Line, 1-800-L-A-V-E-1-9-1. Alyson Hannigan is here from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Tuesday Nights, 8 o'clock on the WB and kind of building momentum as it goes, wouldn't you say?
49:05🔗AdamDrew told me about it. And, you know, from Drew's accounts. No, I got to be honest. It didn't. Didn't we go through this last time we were on the show?
49:23🔗Alyson HanniganYeah. Can't you fire up that beta machine?
49:26🔗AdamI don't know how that works. And I have one that only record porn.
49:31🔗DrewAnd you're right. See how that VHS thing has passed, that fad? We're already on to the DVD. You're right to stay with the beta.
49:38🔗AdamThe point is, is I don't have any excuse for not watching this. You know, but I'll tell you honestly, here's the way I feel. Because I hear nothing but great things about this show. I feel like on a show like this, and I know you're not on, you don't need this kind of promotion because it's not really promotion, but I feel like it already got started up and now I'm lost. It's like some class that I'm coming into halfway into the semester and I don't know what page we're on. Go ahead and explain to us why that's not true.
50:06🔗DrewWell, these things are written to capture you in a single episode. Every single one of those is written to be a serial and to get you hooked in after one of you.
50:15🔗AdamI know you could make that argument for a lot of shows, but I watched The Simpsons because The Simpsons are just the episode is self-contained. I know, okay, you could make this argument for anything. I feel like on shows like this or Dawson's Creek or X-Files. I've never seen an X-Files episode because I just feel like I'm behind.
50:38🔗Alyson HanniganI understand that feeling, but I just think that you're wrong.
50:42🔗AdamOkay. I never saw Twin Peaks either because I just felt like-
50:46🔗Alyson HanniganTwin Peaks, didn't you pretty much have to watch every episode though?
50:48🔗AdamYeah, I guess so. That's what I mean. I never saw one. I never saw the first 10, so I couldn't see the next 100.
50:54🔗Alyson HanniganYou can take any of our shows and basically figure everything out. I mean, you might be like, well, it's the story behind that character.
51:02🔗DrewI mean, they must write with that in mind constantly.
51:24🔗CallerYeah. What's going on there? Big fan of the show, been listening for a long time. My parents listened. Yeah. But they only started when I was young, when I was like a teenager to teach me. But what I really caught about was Buffy the Vampire Slayer, big fan of the show.
52:13🔗AdamYeah. That'll turn you gay, you know. All right, Adam, just kidding. Come on.
52:23🔗CallerAll right. So one of my questions, my first one, though, is like I'm such a big fan of the show and I've never been able to find a poster. Can I get an autographed poster of the whole cast?
52:36🔗Alyson HanniganUm, well, I can give you or I can take down in your address. And I don't know if I can get you one with the whole cast sign, because, well, I don't know if they even make posters anymore, but we can like get you a cast photo. I don't know about cast like poster.
53:43🔗CallerYeah. What's going on? First, I want to say, Alyson, I love the show so much. I watch it religiously. I want to know if there's anything with you and David Boran is going on.
54:08🔗CallerLike these guys that premieres and everything together.
54:10🔗Alyson HanniganYeah. No. He's just a sweetie. And I also am a very big fan of his wife. So, in fact, I hang out with her more than I do. Are you married?
54:22🔗AdamOh, okay. I didn't know where you're going.
54:24🔗Alyson HanniganNo. He's just very sweet and we're very affectionate, but that's it. And some people have caught on and been like, oh, you guys, you know, hang out or anything.
54:33🔗CallerBut are you going to get down and dirty with Seth Green next season?
54:36🔗Alyson HanniganI hope so. That's my boyfriend on the show.
55:22🔗CallerDr. Drew. I called earlier. I think I called the same day Seth Green was there. As a matter of fact, I told you that I had missed my period a couple of times because I was on micronore. Right. Well, I still haven't had it. And I was wondering how long you can go when you're on birth control pills without having your period.
55:39🔗DrewYou can go and go and go. Yeah. But you ought to talk to your doctor about it. It would be better if you menstruate, I suspect.
55:48🔗DrewWell, I mean, there can be problems with the endometrial growth. I mean, there shouldn't be with this particular pill. I mean, there's no absolute reason why she has to menstruate. She doesn't. It really doesn't. I mean...
56:00🔗Alyson HanniganI saw some science film that said it was very bad for girls' health.
56:04🔗DrewWell, it depends on the situation. I mean, she's taking hormones that basically stop menstruation.
56:08🔗Alyson HanniganNo, it was public high school.
56:10🔗DrewYeah, it depends. I mean, if they're saying that if a woman doesn't menstruate and she's not on medication and not on pills, yes, that's a sign of medical illness and they need to be evaluated. It's called oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea if they've never had a period or have it longer than six months.
56:21🔗AdamWho'd you have for health over at Walter Reed or North Hollywood?
56:27🔗Alyson HanniganHealth or I had Ms. Herbst for chemistry.
56:31🔗AdamOh, did they have Ms. Phillips over there or Ms. Sylvester?
56:54🔗DrewLet me finish, though. But, for instance, the Depo-Provera, which is similar to Micronorm, women may bleed constantly or have no period the entire time they're on the therapy. So, I mean, you want there to be a point. You want to keep it as close to the natural cycling of the system as you can. You have adequate astronauts.
57:16🔗AdamThis has reminded me, by the way, since we're waxing nostalgic about North Hollywood High. It's been a while since I've spoken to Mr. Gregory, my driver's ed teacher who failed me for no real good reason when I was in the 10th grade and screwed up an entire summer of mine. So I just like to take this opportunity to tell Mr. Gregory to kiss my hairy ass. Hope you're sweltering in your crappy little one bedroom in Van Nuys. Well, I go home to my palatial estate with my sports cars and my Asian hookers. Right, Drew?
58:00🔗AdamWhat if I like Asian hookers? Does that mean I'm disparaging them? All right. The point is I don't want to get sidetracked. Mr. Gregory, kiss my ass. Thank you. Stacey, you're 14.
58:14🔗CallerOkay. I have this boyfriend who's 25, and we've been going out for about a year, and he's been beating me physically over little arguments that we have.
1:00:00🔗DrewFirst week of August. I mean, you know, you're going to end up like Nicole Brown Simpson. That's what's going to happen here. This is going to escalate. It's going to get worse. This is an extremely dangerous circumstance. I mean... And this guy is a criminal.
1:00:14🔗AdamWell, wait a minute. I thought Nicole Brown was killed by drug lords because of her connection with that chick who had too much facial surgery.
1:00:27🔗DrewBut she was abused anyway and she ended up dead. Before the drug lords. Draw your own conclusions. This is a common story. Let's put it that way. You throw in a little stimulants. Is he an addict at all? The guy?
1:01:07🔗DrewThat bothers Adam even more, unfortunately.
1:01:08🔗AdamWell, now wait a minute. Hear me out for a second. It makes the relationship even more bizarre, in my opinion.
1:01:18🔗DrewIt makes it legal, though. I mean, yeah, I know.
1:01:21🔗AdamBut it's even more. It's more bizarre in its own way. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad they're not having a sexual relationship with her being 14 and him being 25. But wouldn't you agree that a 25 year old guy who's having a relationship with a 14 year old and he's beating her and it's not even a sexual relationship. I mean, it's not like he's just some sexual deviant who's pent up and horny and trying to get himself a young piece of ass. That's not even the relationship. It's a psychological dynamic that's going on here, which is to me even more dangerous.
1:02:01🔗AdamI mean, I'm glad they're not having sex, but I think you could make an argument for him being even more diabolical.
1:02:06🔗DrewWhat can we say to help Stacey leave this relationship? Is there anything? What can we say? Except that, Stacey, that's the only option. There is no getting better from something like this. Not unless, you know, he's...
1:02:23🔗CallerIt's like anytime that happens or whatever, he's just like, well, I had to put up with it all my life because his parents used to meet him all the time.
1:02:30🔗DrewOf course. Of course. In Adam's utopia, he would go after your parents and his parents before he went after him, or just immediately follow.
1:02:38🔗AdamRight. And he would be sterilized. Yeah. Does he have any kids?
1:02:53🔗AdamOh, well, we forget about the physical abuse parties. Twenty-five, you're fourteen. Well, that is bizarre.
1:02:59🔗DrewWe know that. But I'm trying to think of some.
1:03:01🔗CallerI've had people tell me before, well, I mean, like, because you guys were always talking about the whole father figure thing. Well, it's like I haven't talked to my dad in like a year.
1:03:11🔗DrewI know. And your dad was an abuser when he was around. This is perfectly trying to live that out and make that right again. But the fact is, people, you need to release yourself from the bonds and chains of your childhood. You have to find a way, when you can acknowledge that that's what's going on, you must find a way to make a real human contact with another person who doesn't fit the mold, doesn't fit the character, the role that you've cast to try to solve the problems of childhood, you must abandon those old patterns that are left over from your childhood and your family of origin and try to make contact with people that are not so enticing and a little more boring and you'll find far greater satisfaction.
1:03:55🔗AdamYou know, it's horribly flawed in the component, horribly flawed component in human beings, which is if Stacey had taken a math class when she was 12 and she had some maniacal teacher who brought her up in front of the class and made her do some equation that she could do. She'd never get near a chalkboard or an abacus again in her life, so help me. But she can watch her dad beat the crap out of her mom for 10 years and be horribly attracted to a man who beats her. That is why there's no God. He would not create man that way. It would be a cruel God if he did that. Yes, you guys all know I'm right. Thank you. Andrea, you're 19.
1:04:41🔗Alyson HanniganI was wondering what kind of sexual activity is normal in childhood.
1:04:48🔗DrewAnything that's not actually sexual. Fiddling, diddling, and goofing around and that kind of stuff. But at the point at which it becomes purposely sexual, you've got a problem.
1:05:43🔗AdamI mean, but see, Drew, you can't really have this question answered in a satisfactory way the way you're asking. It was a sexual thing where people slapping each other in the ass and you love it, bitch. I don't think so. But there was something naughty and something covert about it. You knew not to do it in front of your parents, right?
1:06:43🔗Alyson HanniganBut where's the line drawn age-wise? Because I remember, you know, bathing with my neighbor across the street. And he was a boy.
1:06:53🔗AdamAnd then his cigar fell to the tub, and the mom got pissed off.
1:06:57🔗Alyson HanniganBut then I remember also like doing the whole like, you know, hiding behind the bushes and, okay, I'll show you more.
1:07:03🔗AdamDrew, Drew. Hold on. Let me, let me talk that. Ouch. Baby, I'm over here. Let me talk to you for a second. Drew has triplets. Yeah. Okay. That's three. You see? And they're all, what are they? 11?
1:07:20🔗AdamFive. But together they're 15. They're five going on six. So I like when people say that kind of stuff. Like, we're engaged to be married. Oh, that's different. Okay. So they're five, you know, they're getting in the right, they're starting the next few years, they're getting into that age where that kind of stuff goes on. That little pull the skirt up over the head, hanky panky, dittling around, screwing around, you know, that kind of stuff. Now, I try to tell Drew that this is sort of a facet.
1:07:52🔗AdamBut I don't have kids, so I can speak about it quite freely.
1:07:55🔗DrewLet's see, Adam, it became an art form. He kept going into adolescence, where they started dittling with hoses and Please, Drew, don't. my equipment and things.
1:08:28🔗AdamI'm going to embarrass my friend. I don't want to bring the guy's name up, but they put a little garden hose in his ass and then filled his ass up with some water. Then we drove to the Jack in the Box drive-thru and he hung his ass out the window, shot some water out of his ass under the Jack in the Box thing. I mean, it's normal stuff. I'm sure every 18 or 19-year-old goes through that phase where they put a hose in their ass and they go to a Jack in the Box drive-thru.
1:08:55🔗DrewI just want to make sure we make the point that Adam is the one telling us what is normal behavior in childhood, okay?
1:09:00🔗Alyson HanniganHe's also telling us that it was a friend of his.
1:09:04🔗Alyson HanniganHe's alone. And he went in a chicken sandwich.
1:09:06🔗AdamAll I was doing is riding shotgun, you know, like our first caller who was at the bank trying to look into a T-bar. No, luckily the wind was blowing the other direction and I was fine.
1:09:21🔗AdamHe has a lot of tenacity, a lot of stick-to-it-ness, training, a lot of training. It was a fairly short, fairly short drive. I mean, it was just about a mile. Let me tell you what, you know, there was a guy in front of us at the drive-thru was like ordering for the whole softball team. And believe me, was not happy about this. You never heard a guy like, come on, let's go, let's go.
1:09:44🔗DrewYou think about this group of guys sitting around. It wasn't like they thought to go to Jack in the Box after the Garden Hose. This must have been plotted out. How long did they figure this grand scheme out?
1:09:53🔗AdamYou know, there's not a lot to do in the Valley growing up, Drew. You got to make your own fun. I wasn't like you with tickets to the opera. You understand?
1:10:01🔗DrewAs we said, so there, yes, absolutely, there is exploration that is normal and is very hard to distinguish overtly sexual exploration versus normal sort of pre-puberty, pre-sexual exploration which really isn't purposeful. It's not directed towards orgasm or penetration or anything like that.
1:10:21🔗Alyson HanniganNow, you do know that, I mean, at least my friends, we all made our Barbies have sex.
1:10:28🔗DrewThat's common to have, we had this conversation last time you were up here.
1:10:35🔗Alyson HanniganNot that I'm obsessed with Barbies having sex or anything.
1:10:36🔗DrewBut again, it's usually not, it's not really purposeful. It's sort of like putting them together and on top. You kind of have a sense of what it is.
1:10:41🔗AdamWell, listen, here's what it is. It's like boys, they play army with fake guns. There's not real bullets flying around, but you get the notion of what they're trying to do. Now, they're not going to grow up and join the army and kill somebody necessarily, but it's the same sort of thing. There's that inclination.
1:11:11🔗DrewThis is what I learned traveling with you about.
1:11:13🔗AdamAll right, I gotta stop taking them tranquilizers on the plane, you know? It's like I start rambling, you know? All right, we'll be back. Hey, it's Love Line. Allison Hanning is here from Buffy the Vampire. What is that? Is that too loud? I didn't get it. Was it because I was talking?
1:12:34🔗AdamAll right. This is Westwood 1. Maybe one of the chipmunks got tired and the generator slowed down. Should you go out to the back of the building and feed them?
1:13:02🔗CallerActually, I just want to call and say that you're wrong about Buffy. Like, I just started watching it about two months ago, and I had no problem whatsoever getting into it. And now actually I like to watch it all the time. I actually watched it tonight, which is why I called in, because it seemed really great to me that Alyson was on.
1:13:39🔗Alyson HanniganI could give you a cheat sheet, Adam.
1:13:41🔗AdamYeah. I want one of those things that I taped of the screen that has everyone's name over it and certify and says what color their hair is, so I don't have to look down at a piece of paper. Melissa?
1:13:56🔗CallerWell, I just had a quick question for Alyson. Yes. I want to know if you're anything at all like your character Willow, like actually how more she was last season and like if there, if you had any advice about like how people would go from being more of the friend like in the shadows to being more like in the limelight.
1:14:20🔗AdamYou got to talk to the writers, right?
1:14:23🔗Alyson HanniganLike how you would go about doing that in your own life?
1:14:27🔗Alyson HanniganWell, I would just say just believe in yourself and just be true to who you are. And then it's more like you're just trying to, hey, wait a minute. You're just trying to please yourself and not anybody else. And then you can be more of yourself.
1:14:45🔗AdamNo, you get the drugs and then you're known as the candy man. And then your friends come around.
1:14:51🔗DrewBut I'm being facetious, but I mean, what you're saying, of course, is true. But how do you do that?
1:15:00🔗Alyson HanniganYou have to go through adolescence and become an adult and then you can do it.
1:15:04🔗DrewYeah, you have to suffer a lot in the meantime. But let me... This is something we struggle a little bit with. Yeah. How do you get courage? Yeah, really. You ever think about that? How does somebody get courage?
1:15:15🔗Alyson HanniganI think you're put into a situation where you either do it or you don't.
1:15:20🔗DrewYeah, but what gives people the strength to be able to step up?
1:15:22🔗Alyson HanniganI don't know. It just happens.
1:15:23🔗CallerWell, I mean, I'm the strength in the group, but I mean, like, I'm not the one that ever gets noticed. I mean, like, I'm the dependable one and it's so fun.
1:15:31🔗Alyson HanniganBut you might be getting noticed and you just don't know it because the people that are noticing you, you aren't noticing them also. And they're the ones that ten years from now, they're going to be the ones you want to, like, hook up with.
1:15:44🔗AdamI'm going to put out a theory that I just thought of, but I think it's brilliant, absolutely brilliant, which is some people are in a, are evolving. And the good people evolve. They're not the same at 14 as they are at 18 as they will be at 25.
1:16:07🔗AdamThey started evolving, hit their peak about 15, 16, and then started sort of honing. Now, those people have a great time in high school because their breasts have evolved, their hair has evolved, their teeth has evolved, their ass has evolved, and they never looked, sounded, or did any better than from the time they were 16 to 18. The people that evolve unfortunately are passing through a phase at 16 or 18 and may not hit their peak years until their mid or later 20s. So the more miserable you are at 18, probably the happier you're going to be at 28.
1:16:46🔗DrewAlso motivates you to keep changing if you're not happy.
1:16:57🔗DrewJust because of what a nerd you were in high school. Adam can talk about knowing what your real person is all about.
1:17:03🔗AdamThat is not true. But when I went to my high school reunion, I did see that the folks that I saw, the folks that sort of peeked out and then started going downhill after they peaked and then the ones that kept evolving.
1:17:17🔗DrewYou abused the ones that kept evolving even on the air here.
1:18:23🔗DrewI'm sure it is. I'm sure it is, but Adam, you would agree to it. He talks about how people with personality disorders constantly blame the environment for their state.
1:18:31🔗Alyson HanniganYeah, and they don't take responsibility.
1:18:33🔗DrewThey don't take responsibility. There's a theme that we strike off on in this show, but he gets into great detail about why that happens and what you can do to change it.
1:18:40🔗Alyson HanniganYou know what? I didn't think my call was going to be answered because it's another like, why don't I get my period question? I didn't think you guys wanted to go on the menstruation route tonight, but I went off the pill about a year ago and I was on it for four years and my periods still aren't regular and it's been a year. And I've gone to the doctor and they took blood and they did a test on thyroid, I think, and the tests came out normal. And just the last week, I was having pains in my lower, I guess right where my ovaries.
1:19:42🔗Alyson HanniganAnd I took a test today and I'm not pregnant.
1:19:44🔗DrewYou should use a diaphragm and a condom if you really want to be effective as a contraceptive.
1:19:48🔗AdamDo you have a retriever to get that out?
1:19:50🔗Alyson HanniganYou got to stick your finger in there and pull it out.
1:19:53🔗AdamBut don't they give you, you know, like when you shoot pool and there's something you can't get to, you pull the bridge out. They don't have any diaphragm bridge, there's nothing like that. I thought there was something, I swear to God, this thing came with a stick or something.
1:20:07🔗DrewIt was a tampon. Yeah, there may be. It's not a bad idea to have people...
1:20:12🔗AdamNo, it's more of a fuse than it is a string.
1:20:15🔗DrewIt's not a bad idea, Adam, but the lip of the diaphragm is usually pretty approachable with the finger.
1:20:20🔗AdamOh yeah, but isn't it like you're doing something to yourself, you know, when you go get it?
1:20:27🔗AdamNo, no, that's worse. That's worse. You know all that stuff where they go, well, I'll tell you, you make condoms. Here's what you do with condoms. You make it into a fun thing. She puts the condom on with her foot or something. Oh, please spare me. That is not exciting. He can go diving in after the diaphragm like a dog going after a tennis ball in the pool. Forget about it. You get your own diaphragm, I'll put my own damn condom on. We'll meet in the bed, we'll get it over with. Right, Drew?
1:20:58🔗DrewVery romantic, Mr. Carolla. Isn't he something?
1:21:02🔗AdamBut I just, I hate when these so-called sex experts try to turn everything into some kind of foreplay. Know what I'm talking about?
1:21:11🔗AdamWell, you can remove her prosthetic limb in a very amorous way. It's like, no, let her take it off. Maybe I could turn everything into foreplay. And we'll be back.
1:21:24🔗Really? What? You're listening to Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Loveline will be right back. W-E-B-N.
1:21:34🔗Ladies and gentlemen, the July sale at Ball Furniture and Appliances will be intense. Eddie, that's intent.
1:21:41🔗DrewNot intense, it's Ball Furniture's tent sale.
1:21:45🔗Yeah, that's different. If you wanna save money, really save money, now's your chance. This is the time smart furniture shoppers wait for. Here's why.
1:22:29🔗AdamTuesday, 8 o'clock and Monday at 8 o'clock too.
1:22:34🔗Alyson HanniganActually, I think it's Monday at 9 now. I don't know how long that's going to last.
1:22:38🔗AdamOkay. All right. So if you if you tuned in at 8, you just catch Hanging with Mr. Cooper or something and then I'm guessing a very special episode. Or Nick Farino.
1:22:56🔗AdamOh, is that what the deal is? It was fun. I should have guessed that by the title. I got to start paying closer attention. Oh, way to the new fall lineup comes out. Oh, am I going to have fun with that? I am going to have a field day with that. I can't wait to see the new ABC fall lineup. I can't wait to see Fantasy Island and Cupid, everybody. Okay, that's Sour Grapes. That's true. I had a pilot for ABC, which was, didn't make it onto the schedule.
1:23:45🔗AdamLet me say this very quickly to the sensors and the networks, you guys. And I said this to Drew off the air, and I know this will be true. Remember what was going on with the American car companies around the mid-70s? Americans always had the market cornered here. They made their big, fat, inefficient, gas-guzzling, ugly piece of crap cars well into the 70s. And all of a sudden, somewhere in the mid-early 70s, started seeing these little cars come in, little Hondas, little Datsuns, as they called them at the time, Toyota.
1:24:27🔗AdamAnd the big car company said, don't pay them any mind. And then the gas crunch came, and they still said, don't worry about them. And they still made their big, crappy, lumbering piles of ass, just like the networks do. And the, see, what the Japanese car companies are the equivalent to your Comedy Central's, and your Fox's, and your WB's. We can find Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and all these other stations starting to come up. But don't worry, the big, arrogant American car companies, they said, don't worry about it.
1:25:02🔗AdamFive years later, they were getting their asses kicked, and they still haven't recovered. This is what's gonna happen with you networks if you guys don't smarten up. Idiots.
1:25:21🔗AdamEverything's painful now. What's going on? Thank God there's only 15 minutes of this show left.
1:25:26🔗Oh, really? Yeah. I got one quick comment on the just the atheism. I have to say I've been to that stage and it's not that fun, but I don't know. Hopefully you'll get through it, too.
1:25:39🔗AdamBut anyway, where did you find Jesus in prison? What? Where was Jesus when you found him?
1:25:45🔗Jesus was Jesus was just right here where you and I are. OK.
1:25:49🔗AdamBut what do you have to do? Go through rehab or something first?
1:25:54🔗AdamNobody finds Jesus unless the wheels fall off the wagon. So what happened?
1:25:58🔗Oh, well, that's why 99% of the world believes in Jesus, right? Or a god.
1:26:04🔗AdamRight. But no, some get indoctrinated into it early on in life, and then others wait for a tragedy later on in life to get into it.
1:26:13🔗I agree with a lot of the things you're saying. Most of the belief in God comes from fear and nowhere else to look. And you don't want to put all the responsibility on yourself, so you ask God to help you.
1:26:35🔗What happened? Well, I went to a doctor. I went through a phase where I was having panic attacks, like daily at school, and I went through a living hell, basically. And what happened was I had a lot of friends that all did drugs. I was raised in a straight Catholic home. That's my little brother.
1:27:19🔗But anyway, I went through a lot of crap, and I started to smoke marijuana with him for about a week, and I actually hallucinated, and I was talking with a priest counselor in my school, and I thought I saw the hand of God, and I basically, I flipped out, and then I went to this, they took me to this hospital, and they diagnosed me as mag depressive or whatever.
1:27:44🔗DrewAll right. So be careful, Paul. You've got a serious illness. I mean, that's...
1:27:50🔗Okay. Yeah. Well, I definitely agree with you. It is a serious illness, but the thing I don't agree with the pharmaceutical company is Andy, and the psychiatrist about it is that it's a permanent.
1:28:04🔗AdamI think he's on a pirate ship or something.
1:28:06🔗DrewPaul, unless it was induced by the drugs you were using, it's not something for you to decide to believe or not to believe. It just happens to be a fact.
1:28:18🔗AdamGod invented the pharmaceutical companies and the scientists who work for them, right, Drew? This is a, you know what I mean? It's just one step removed.
1:28:26🔗DrewIt's not useful to get in these big arguments and stuff, but that's the fact. I mean, this is just the way this condition is. And if indeed God could take it away, it wouldn't exist in all the millions of people that have it because many of them ask for God to take it away and he can't.
1:28:39🔗Alyson HanniganNow, what would you say to somebody who says, well, I know I need help, but I'm afraid to, you know, find it because if they can't fix me, I don't want to know.
1:28:50🔗DrewEventually, they get sick enough that they have to get help.
1:28:53🔗Alyson HanniganSo you really can't, I mean, they have to do it for themselves.
1:28:57🔗AdamPaul, did you take care of that brother of yours?
1:29:10🔗AdamOkay. Take care of her. Take care of yourself. If you need the pharmaceuticals, take those.
1:29:15🔗Well, anyway, what I want to say to Dr. Drew is that about how to find courage. I think definitely a lot of it has to do with the way that what we put in our body. I think that some of the drugs that we use for manned depression are treating the symptoms and not the cause. Because I was totally malnutritioned my whole life. And the doctor said that I was, you know, manned depressive. I ate nothing but cold cereal and milk, you know? Right.
1:29:42🔗AdamWell, listen, I'm with you on this one. I know Drew isn't. But listen, if you got some kid who's having physical problems or emotional problems, and he's living off a steady diet of Pepsi and corn dogs, it certainly couldn't help. It couldn't hurt, I should say, to balance a kid's diet out.
1:30:00🔗DrewOf course. Especially, listen, people with bipolar illness have a very delicate chemistry, and even a cold can set them off. So of course, nutrition can really set them off too.
1:30:30🔗CallerWell, I've been going out with my boyfriend for about a year, and recently I became interested, and I've always thought I was completely heterosexual up till now. I became interested in a woman, and so-
1:31:17🔗CallerMaybe I should say some spontaneously. Right. And then I started thinking about it and then I really wanted to try it, experiment with her. And we did and I loved it. It was really great.
1:31:34🔗AdamYou want to do a little gambling? There's not much time left.
1:31:42🔗DrewI would bet on wholesale chaos. Real chaos when she was younger.
1:31:46🔗CallerReal chaos? Well, I listen to the show and anytime someone's doing that, it's usually to sabotage a relationship or something. But that's usually with younger people than me, even though they probably sound older.
1:31:57🔗AdamSo you're just like in a rested state?
1:32:33🔗AdamOkay. Sometimes there's confusion. Like about a neighbor's family or something like that. All right. Well, it sounds like you're done with this relationship with the guy.
1:32:42🔗CallerWell, I like him. I'm more committed to him.
1:32:52🔗CallerWell, I asked him before he did anything because I didn't want to, you know, if he had a problem with it, he said, well, if it's, you know, if you're having these feelings, you know.
1:33:01🔗DrewIt sounds like you're you may be lesbian and you really should.
1:33:04🔗CallerBut I'm more attracted to him. I'm more attracted to men.
1:33:07🔗AdamAll right. But if it's marginal, the relationship's still in trouble.
1:33:11🔗DrewThe relationship is in trouble just by the fact that you're cheating. So something's not right here.
1:33:15🔗Alyson HanniganAsk him to put on a wig and if he'd like it better.
1:34:49🔗CallerI mean, that comes with it. You go up and down, you know.
1:34:52🔗DrewYeah, but you sound depressed. And it's more depressed than you should be three years out if you were grieving properly. I mean, you may just have some difficulty, some abnormal grief going on here.
1:35:04🔗AdamGood luck. Carolyn is 15. She had a question for Alyson.
1:35:37🔗AdamAlright. Pearl of wisdom. Allison, thank you very much. Thank you, guys. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tuesday nights, 8 o'clock, WB. And Monday nights at 9 o'clock for the time being. Thank you very much. Thank you. So until next time, it's Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew, saying mahalo.
