0:01🔗 Voiceover Loveline is meant for an adult audience. Loveline may contain sexually-oriented content. Listener discretion advised. Now, here's Loveline. 1-800-LOVE-191 with Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla.

0:14🔗 Voiceover What are you insane? There are girls who do that. And Richy plays a cynical reporter from New York. So they like the parts, and I had nothing to do with it. I was sitting home quietly, and they called up together. They make a conference call. It's called a power call if you're all together. And my wife said, they're on the phone. Remember them from the other one? And I said, hi. They said, come to Maryland. We filmed it in the beautiful suburbs of Maryland.

0:52🔗 Adam Now, did you work with them last on Pretty Woman? Was that?

0:56🔗 Garry Marshall Last time the three of us worked together was on Pretty Woman.

0:59🔗 Adam We saw each other eight years ago.

1:01🔗 Garry Marshall Almost ten.

1:02🔗 Adam Wow.

1:02🔗 Garry Marshall Ten years. We've been. I see him once in a while. I used to go to lunch with the Julia Roberts. Now I go to lunch with her. We have to go through the kitchen and out the back door. But she got popular, the little girl.

1:15🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:15🔗 Garry Marshall She was twenty one when I started with her. She.

1:18🔗 Adam Oh, really? Yeah, because it was, you know, she did Mystic Pizza and maybe something else. And then Pretty Woman, I think, really put her on the map.

1:27🔗 Garry Marshall And Steel Magnolia, she did. She didn't do anything really funny till Pretty Woman really got it going.

1:33🔗 Adam Right. And it ruined that song for me, though. I got to tell you. Roy Orbison's song. We know how it is. There's a song and you decide it's your song. And it's one. It was like in Top Gun when they did that. You lost that love and feeling. Right. Can't listen to it anymore. It used to be my song. They took it away from me.

1:53🔗 Garry Marshall Well, there was three choices, actually, pretty well. It was She's a Lady, Lady's a Tramp and Pretty Woman. They showed me three songs. They said, pick one. Unfortunately, Adam, I picked the one you liked. But that was the choice.

2:05🔗 Drew But let's face it, what we're really here to discuss is the reuniting of two teammates from an illustrious day at the ballpark.

2:11🔗 Adam At the ballpark. Yeah, let me tell you, Gary, I don't know how old Gary is, but he's, you know, he's no spring chicken, but he's still got a lot of pop in that bat. And he's got an arm and he was playing second base. He was wearing like three or four trusses, though.

2:28🔗 Garry Marshall A few braces on the knees.

2:30🔗 Adam He had a hernia truss, two knee braces and a diaper on it. But he was still holding his own.

2:35🔗 Garry Marshall Well, I was, I think I was the oldest. I'm 64, but I could still hit the ball.

2:41🔗 Drew Adam didn't threaten to strike you or anything, did he?

2:43🔗 Garry Marshall Who's that? No, he was all right.

2:45🔗 Adam Yeah, we got along fine. I got in a little scuffle with the coach because I wanted him to put me in.

2:51🔗 Garry Marshall But, oh yeah, well, other than that. When I came up the bat, Cacci yelled at a pitcher, this guy can give us a job. So pitch him well. You all act as players.

3:05🔗 Adam You must get hit up quite a bit. I mean, being a guy who does as many projects as you do, whether it's television or features or what have you, do you have people giving you their head shots when you go out to eat?

3:17🔗 Garry Marshall No, almost to absurdity. I played in a softball league and I got on second base somehow. I don't run too fast, but I went down the line. So I got the second base.

3:28🔗 Adam Well, maybe you just ran straight through. Did you go over that pitcher's mound?

3:30🔗 Garry Marshall I had to go around. And the shortstop kept getting very close to me. And in his pocket, he had his picture. He handed me his picture. I said, hey, I'm trying to get home. I don't want your picture. But it's fun.

3:43🔗 Adam You know what I like about Gary? I've only seen him play once. But like I say, for a 64-year-old guy, he plays real well. But the thing I like about him is his style. He wears his elaborate system of trusses outside of his uniform. Whereas most guys put the knee brace, the thigh brace, and the hernia truss on underneath the pants. But this is a big brace.

4:03🔗 Garry Marshall You can't fit this on my outside. It's a big plastic thing.

4:08🔗 Adam What's it holding up?

4:10🔗 Garry Marshall My knee, it holds it together. I had a few. I played a lot of ball. I had a few knee problems. But I can't, I can catch anything above my knees. Below my knees, it's an adventure. So it hits the brace, so I don't get hurt. That's important. I turn into a hockey goalie if it's too long.

4:26🔗 Adam How many of those Hollywood All-Star Celebrity Games have you played in?

4:31🔗 Garry Marshall I've been playing since the 1960s. And I think Charlton Heston played in those days. No, I played a lot of them. Usually, we get the Tom Selleck days, Randy Crystal, Tony Dans. I played with all those guys.

4:46🔗 Drew I had such fun talking to Gary last year. I said I would go back if I knew Gary was going to be there.

4:50🔗 Garry Marshall That's right. We warmed up together. I was pitching to the doc.

4:54🔗 Adam Who would you say that to, Drew? Nobody cared if you showed up or not.

4:58🔗 Drew No, the people who asked me to go, I said, is Gary Marshall going to be there? That's been the morning with him. It would be great.

5:03🔗 Garry Marshall Oh, we had some talk. We should wander around. The Dodgers aren't doing that well, so we were welcomed.

5:10🔗 Drew We had fun with the Arizona team, though.

5:12🔗 Adam Yeah. Did Lesorda ever coach any of those or manage any of those celebrity games?

5:19🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah, he used to come out in the kibitz and get involved. But he actually liked we ordered a lot of pizza during those days. He was in charge of that to make sure we are.

5:30🔗 Adam Oh, yeah.

5:30🔗 Garry Marshall He used to play at night. See, this was a day game. He used to play this game.

5:34🔗 Adam He had that restaurant near town. Yeah, I think the Board of Health closed it down. I swear to God. Well, anyway. All right, so Runaway Bride, it is currently out in theaters. It was number one last week. And if all our listeners go, it will be number one this week as well. So we'll take some of these calls. And listen, let's not try to offend the great Gary Marshall here with some of these.

5:59🔗 Drew Do you want our callers on their best behavior?

6:01🔗 Adam Yeah, I want everyone on their best behavior.

6:03🔗 Drew I was thinking about advising you the same way, Adam Strangely.

6:06🔗 Adam I'm going to try to get a part in his next movie. I really am. Gary, and you know what? During the commercial, I'm going to pitch him a movie. That's what I'm going to do. And I don't want to give it away over the air, but I think you're going to like this one.

6:22🔗 Garry Marshall All right, it could be the next big thing at Paramount and Disney.

6:26🔗 Adam I don't think so.

6:26🔗 Garry Marshall Who knows? We'll do it independent.

6:28🔗 Adam Sharon. Hello? Hi. Sharon, you're 23. What's going on?

6:34🔗 Caller Yeah, I'm actually seeing this guy that's married. I've actually been seeing him for like four years since I was like 18. And I recently told him that I didn't want to anymore.

6:44🔗 Drew Good. It took her four years to figure that out.

6:48🔗 Caller Well, he says that he's not happy and he says that he wants to leave her and that he wants to.

6:53🔗 Drew Sharon, does that, would it surprise you if we told you that every single man that's cheating on his wife says that to his mistress?

7:02🔗 Caller Yeah, I know, but I really believe him because he's usually honest. He's a really honest guy, aside from, you know, the whole.

7:08🔗 Drew He is the one exception where he actually happens to be telling the truth, except four years have gone by.

7:14🔗 Adam Right. Other than the adultery, he's completely honest. A god-fearing man. Okay.

7:19🔗 Caller Yeah.

7:19🔗 Adam And.

7:21🔗 Drew So he tells his wife all about what he does with you because he's completely open and honest with her too, I'm sure.

7:25🔗 Caller I don't, I don't know.

7:26🔗 Drew Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute.

7:28🔗 Adam Don't get too kind of sending this early into the show. Sharon.

7:32🔗 Caller Yeah.

7:32🔗 Adam Does, has he ever said that he was going to leave his wife before this?

7:38🔗 Caller No, he's just been saying it recently, actually, like for the past couple weeks.

7:43🔗 Drew As soon as you said you're leaving, he decided he's going to leave his wife?

7:46🔗 Caller A little bit before I said that, he decided that he was going to do that.

7:50🔗 Adam Right, although she probably laid some indicators down.

7:54🔗 Garry Marshall What did she say was wrong with his wife? Did he say she was?

7:58🔗 Caller He says that she's like boring and she never wants to do anything and never wants to have sex and everything.

8:04🔗 Garry Marshall Assessing everything. Well, everything is important too.

8:10🔗 Adam Let's have a little conference here, guys. I see on one hand, if he'd been telling her, Sharon, he was going to leave his wife for four years and stringing her along, she should have no reason to believe him. And he's still in a hole no matter how you slice it. But the fact that he hasn't said he was going to leave his wife, like most guys do, to keep the relationship going for the last three, three and a half years and now is saying he's going to leave his wife.

8:35🔗 Drew Let me put a little different twist on it. Maybe when he started going in that direction, it freaked her out. That's when she decided she had to leave.

8:43🔗 Caller I kind of told him after that too that I had feelings for him and he said that he had feelings for me too. And he was just finding the right time to get a situation out of himself.

8:51🔗 Drew Let's explore why it is that you have to have a man that's not available. Why is that?

8:56🔗 Caller Actually, it's been that way since I was like 17.

8:59🔗 Drew I'm sure of it.

9:00🔗 Adam Where's your dad?

9:02🔗 Caller He's here. I have a dad. But he's older.

9:04🔗 Adam Is he an alcoholic or something?

9:06🔗 Caller No, my son is an alcoholic.

9:07🔗 Adam He just doesn't pay attention to you?

9:10🔗 Caller He's really kind of quiet. He's not really from like, you know, this country. So he's kind of quiet into himself.

9:17🔗 Drew Was he ever violent?

9:18🔗 Caller No.

9:19🔗 Drew Is your mom around?

9:20🔗 Caller Yeah, she is.

9:21🔗 Adam Is this, you say he's older?

9:24🔗 Caller Yeah.

9:24🔗 Adam Is this your biological father?

9:26🔗 Caller Yes.

9:27🔗 Adam Yeah. So where's he from?

9:30🔗 Caller He's from Central America.

9:33🔗 Adam And he's quiet?

9:35🔗 Caller Yeah, he keeps to himself.

9:37🔗 Drew Quiet to the point that you've like never had a relationship with him really?

9:41🔗 Caller Kind of. He helped me out a lot in school and stuff, but that was just about it. Never like, you know, talks or, you know, trips or anything like that.

9:49🔗 Adam All right. So what do you want to do with this married guy?

9:53🔗 Caller I don't know. I really, really like him a lot and I really have strong feelings for him. And it's not like he's telling me he's going to leave her for me. He's just saying he's going to leave her period.

10:01🔗 Adam Okay.

10:02🔗 Caller And so I'm kind of scared that if I do stick around when he's not with her, then he'll get rid of me too and be with somebody else.

10:07🔗 Drew Probably will. That's a good instinct.

10:09🔗 Garry Marshall How did the other relationships of men you were with who were, was no chance involved in a relationship?

10:15🔗 Caller Well, they never said anything to that effect. They were, they were straightforward about their relationship, but I understood that and I accepted it.

10:22🔗 Garry Marshall They were all married, though.

10:23🔗 Caller Yeah.

10:24🔗 Adam Yeah. That means you're flawed in some way. The next, you know what the next, there's three types of guys that women date who don't want to get in a relationship.

10:37🔗 Drew Next ones, yeah.

10:38🔗 Adam Next one is jail. Way, no, no, that's last. Way older, like 30, 40 years older. And then the next one is incarceration. Yeah, so.

10:50🔗 Drew She needs a little help. If she cannot establish an intimacy that's real, that's the grounds for therapy.

10:56🔗 Adam Okay, so she breaks up with him and if he breaks up with her wife, then they can talk, right?

11:02🔗 Drew Yep.

11:02🔗 Adam Okay.

11:03🔗 Drew Exciting.

11:03🔗 Adam Let's just hope they have kids. Sarah.

11:06🔗 Yeah.

11:06🔗 Adam You're 23.

11:07🔗 Caller I am.

11:08🔗 Adam What's going on?

11:10🔗 Caller I've been on the pill for about two years, a little under. And right about now, I'm about five days late for my period.

11:19🔗 Drew Have you missed your period before while on the pill?

11:20🔗 Caller No.

11:21🔗 Drew Is this a new pill for you?

11:22🔗 Caller No. I've been on the same one since I started.

11:25🔗 Drew Which pill are you on?

11:26🔗 Caller Tri-fasil.

11:27🔗 Drew Tri-fasil?

11:28🔗 Caller Yeah.

11:28🔗 Drew Have you missed any lately?

11:30🔗 Caller No.

11:30🔗 Drew You take any other medications?

11:32🔗 Caller No.

11:33🔗 Drew So, and you started, are you on a 28-day cycle or is it a 21-day cycle?

11:38🔗 Caller 28.

11:38🔗 Drew So you've started the next packet again, right? Are you just finishing out?

11:43🔗 Caller Yeah.

11:43🔗 Drew Okay.

11:44🔗 Adam Hey, Drew, you know those sugar pills they put in there?

11:47🔗 Drew Yeah.

11:47🔗 Adam Is that really sugar?

11:48🔗 Drew Yeah, sometimes.

11:50🔗 Adam Oh, yeah?

11:51🔗 Drew There's some sort of NutraSweet or something. Why?

11:54🔗 Adam I'm just curious if I ever get really stoned, I can go from my girlfriend's sugar pills and her mushrooms. Yeah. Well, you know how it is. The 7-Eleven seems so far away at that time.

12:07🔗 Drew Sarah, it's possible the pill didn't work. It would be very unlikely. Get a pregnancy test just to be sure, okay? Okay. But it may just be you're missing a period. It happens sometimes when people are on the pill.

12:18🔗 Caller Really?

12:19🔗 Yeah.

12:20🔗 Drew All right?

12:20🔗 Caller Okay.

12:21🔗 Adam All right, Sarah. You can't get pregnant on the pill, can you?

12:27🔗 Drew 0.04, you know, 0.04%.

12:30🔗 Adam Right.

12:31🔗 Drew Yeah. So one per 100,000 or something.

12:34🔗 Adam Wait, one per 100,000?

12:36🔗 Drew Something like that.

12:36🔗 Adam That's less than 0.04, isn't it?

12:38🔗 Drew Yeah, it's 0.01.

12:40🔗 Adam I don't know. Drew, you're the college guy. Tim?

12:45🔗 Yeah.

12:45🔗 Adam You're 25.

12:47🔗 Caller Hello?

12:47🔗 Adam Hello.

12:48🔗 Garry Marshall Hello.

12:49🔗 Hey. Hey.

12:52🔗 Garry Marshall This is Tim.

12:53🔗 Drew Yeah. Well, what is with our callers tonight? I don't know.

12:57🔗 Garry Marshall What do you mean?

12:57🔗 Adam They're screwed up every night.

12:59🔗 Drew But this is like, they're screwed up on Quaaludes tonight.

13:01🔗 Adam Tim?

13:02🔗 Drew Yeah.

13:03🔗 Adam Ask your question, please.

13:05🔗 Garry Marshall Okay. My problem is that for three and a half years, I've been going out with this girl and she's Greek. And we met each other in school and everything was good. And then she just started becoming, just things weren't going for us anymore. We were growing apart, but we moved in together with each other really too soon.

13:27🔗 Adam Yeah.

13:28🔗 Garry Marshall And she would go back to her country, she would come back for the summer.

13:33🔗 Drew What's your question?

13:34🔗 Garry Marshall And my problem is I want to know, you know, how I'm going to get rid of her, because now she plans on coming back and I told her I don't want to be with her, but she has nowhere to go.

13:42🔗 Drew You told her you do not want a relationship with her, but she's coming back anyway.

13:45🔗 Garry Marshall Right.

13:47🔗 Adam When she comes back from Greece, when's she returning?

13:51🔗 Garry Marshall Actually in four days.

13:52🔗 Drew Gary, what should she do? What should he do?

13:55🔗 Garry Marshall He's trying to get rid of her and she won't go away.

13:57🔗 Drew He's told her she doesn't want a relationship, she's coming to this country, she has nowhere else to stay but with him.

14:03🔗 Garry Marshall And who do you live with?

14:05🔗 Garry Marshall Well, I mean, we have an apartment together, but I pay for it, it's my apartment. And you know, she's, I'm like, you know, tell your father to give you money, get your own apartment.

14:14🔗 Garry Marshall But you went into it together.

14:15🔗 Garry Marshall I'll never leave then.

14:16🔗 Drew Who's on the lease?

14:18🔗 Garry Marshall Me.

14:19🔗 Garry Marshall So you brought her in hoping it would work out, it didn't work out, so you want her to go?

14:24🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah. Well, well, I mean, you know, before everything was working out, but things have changed.

14:29🔗 Garry Marshall What did she do? She went back to Greece. She suddenly changed.

14:34🔗 Garry Marshall She went back just for vacations.

14:36🔗 Adam He doesn't like her anymore. But hold on a second. I always love when people give their explanation for why they want to divorce. It's always this one. Hey, things were great for a while and now they're not working out. Let's go like, yeah, I understand that.

14:53🔗 Garry Marshall Well, that happens. Does that say in the wedding now or a relationship now? If it don't work out, you can get out.

14:58🔗 Drew Get a new one, yeah.

14:59🔗 Garry Marshall Well, but it's tough if you have the same apartment. Maybe you should help her get a new apartment.

15:04🔗 Garry Marshall But I mean, you know, the problem is with her also, she's just, she's violent, you know. She's had some violent episodes where she's thrown lamps and stuff at me and I mean, she's crazy.

15:13🔗 Adam Yeah.

15:14🔗 Garry Marshall And I don't want her, I can see her standing in front of my building causing a huge scene, you know.

15:18🔗 Drew Wouldn't the most sensible thing, and did this type of thing. Well, you're going to either you're going to have to do that sort of thing or just cut your losses and get out of there. Disappear, go to a different lease.

15:30🔗 Garry Marshall You know what, that's really what I'm thinking too.

15:32🔗 Adam Yeah.

15:32🔗 Garry Marshall You don't want to start up with somebody who is that violent or is that going to go for you, you know, it's who knows why? What is that love hath though thing like a woman's scorn? There's something Shakespeare once got.

15:48🔗 Adam Hell hath no fury.

15:49🔗 Garry Marshall Hell, there it is. He got involved with the same girl, I think. I think she was from grief.

15:54🔗 Adam Hey Tim, just get out of there.

15:56🔗 Drew Yeah. Just cut your losses, pay whatever you have to pay to get out of the lease and just get out of there.

16:01🔗 Adam I think it's time once again for me to give my rental speech to a lot of the youngsters listening, which is there's a lot of homicidal roommates out there. There's insane girlfriends and there's people you're living with who you shouldn't be living with. And you're worried about 125 bucks for the cleaning deposit that you're going to lose. Meanwhile, this person is going to put a sprinkler key through your back while you're sleeping or go upside your head with a lamp while you're passed out on the sofa. Just cut your losses. If you have a horrible roommate, a horrible girlfriend, whatever it is, I don't care whose name is on the lease, just pack up and get out of there.

16:38🔗 Drew You've had a few horrible roommates.

16:40🔗 Adam I have. And I should have gotten out much earlier. And I'm sure if they had a radio show, they'd be telling the same story. Thank God none of them have shows. Chris Yes. You're 29.

16:52🔗 Caller Chris Yes, I am.

16:54🔗 Adam You're a big fan of Gary Marshall's?

16:56🔗 Caller Chris I am a huge fan.

16:57🔗 Caller I'm also a huge fan of Loveline. I've been listening to you guys for like 12 years or 10 years now.

17:02🔗 Adam Great.

17:02🔗 Garry Marshall Chris Glad to be here. This is a good show.

17:05🔗 Caller Chris It's a great show.

17:06🔗 It's almost as good as your movies.

17:08🔗 Garry Marshall Thank you. Did you get to see Runaway Bride? Chris Yeah.

17:10🔗 Caller I just saw it last night.

17:11🔗 I loved it.

17:12🔗 Garry Marshall Oh, thank you. That's good.

17:14🔗 Chris It's a little too close to home, so.

17:16🔗 Drew Oh, really?

17:18🔗 I shouldn't have said that on this show.

17:19🔗 Garry Marshall Have you ever run from something like that in a white dress?

17:22🔗 Chris No.

17:26🔗 Caller I don't want to give any of it away.

17:28🔗 I haven't gotten as far as running from it in a white dress, but...

17:31🔗 Drew You just run away from relationships, huh?

17:33🔗 Chris I pick ones that run away from me.

17:37🔗 Adam Interesting.

17:38🔗 Oh, yeah. Go ahead.

17:39🔗 Adam Well, actually, you know...

17:42🔗 Big, big, all you want.

17:43🔗 Adam No, you probably pick them and then you drive them away.

17:46🔗 Oh, thanks.

17:47🔗 Adam Well, I mean, you're driving them away. Don't get mad at me.

17:51🔗 Garry Marshall All right.

17:51🔗 Adam So, would you like to kiss Gary's ass a little bit more?

17:54🔗 Garry Marshall Gary That's all right. I like you. Maybe she'll go again, leave her alone. Listen, I'm on your side. Maybe it's their fault. You never know.

18:02🔗 Well, I think it's my fault the same way it was her fault.

18:05🔗 Garry Marshall Gary Yeah, if she wasn't sure, you see, if you don't really know what you're looking for, it's hard to go into a real deep commitment. You got to know who you are. That's what we did the picture about. Used to be women were a reflection of men. That's what your mother told you. If he likes bowling, you say you like bowling. He'll like you. I don't think it's the same. Well, you always liked girls who did that. But now the girls might have a choice. You never know.

18:33🔗 Yeah, that was what I loved so much about the movie.

18:35🔗 Adam Chris, you like other Gary Marshall movies?

18:38🔗 Caller I like Pretty Women.

18:40🔗 Adam Yeah.

18:40🔗 Made me cry.

18:42🔗 Adam Yeah, it was nice.

18:43🔗 Yeah.

18:44🔗 Adam I enjoyed that one myself.

18:46🔗 Garry Marshall At the end, you cried.

18:48🔗 Yeah.

18:49🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah, we played the opera music. It makes people cry. No, it had a sweet. That wasn't the original ending. You know, we adjusted that. It was not a happy ending, to be honest, because, you know, being the prostitute, a street girl, is pretty rough out there. The original ending was that she said, I love you. And he said, I don't love you. And here's your money. He gave her $3,000. She took it and threw it in his face. He hit her, knocked her in the street. He drove away. She went upstairs and her roommate had OD'd on drugs. Not the same ending I did.

19:27🔗 Drew Really? That's a good ending. That's a real realistic ending.

19:31🔗 Garry Marshall That's a different ending of what they wanted. Disney took and said, I don't know, maybe. But that was a good story. In the story, though, I must say, Chris, the woman was much older. She was like 38 years old, was on the last shot. And it was kind of a sad story of women who stay in that profession until there's no place to go. We made it much younger because we wanted the girl to get out. And that was the end. We chose to give it a little hope and send her back to school.

20:02🔗 Adam Yeah. Is it out on DVD?

20:04🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah. I narrate it.

20:06🔗 Adam You do?

20:07🔗 Garry Marshall There's a cut where the director speaks. I don't have anything to play a DVD on, but I did it. I did the DVD.

20:13🔗 Adam Yeah. I just got one of these personal DVD players.

20:18🔗 Garry Marshall You did?

20:18🔗 Adam Yeah.

20:19🔗 Drew You have so much money.

20:20🔗 Adam It's doing well. Stone Stanley, our producer, bought it for us.

20:25🔗 Drew I'm really pissed.

20:26🔗 Adam Well, it's for my other TV show, my important TV show. But the point is, is I want the man show.

20:31🔗 Garry Marshall That's a good show. I know. I read about it in a magazine.

20:34🔗 Drew Just as a congratulation or something.

20:36🔗 Adam I got, let me tell you what I got, Gary and Drew, because you guys are both going to turn green.

20:42🔗 Drew Take a hammer to that car sitting in my garage.

20:44🔗 Adam They got me.

20:45🔗 Garry Marshall Man has all these degrees and he's got a controller.

20:52🔗 Adam He got me the mini portable DVD player with the virtual reality goggles. You put the goggles on the thing. You put these earphones in. It's the equivalent to watching a 50 inch screen and with a surround sound system. And when I order the optional vibrating underpants, that's it.

21:14🔗 Drew It's over.

21:15🔗 Garry Marshall I'm going to leave his home.

21:16🔗 Drew You're going to have to handcuff your hands behind your back or something. You're going to pull a piece of yourself right off your body.

21:22🔗 Adam I'll never get off the plane. I'll just go around for another lap. Yeah, it's going to be great.

21:28🔗 Drew Oh, my God. I'm so pissed at those guys right now.

21:31🔗 Adam Here's what happened. I put the only DVD I had was Das Boot. I don't know if somebody got me that, some Nazi friend. And somebody was trying it out last night in my house, and they pushed the director's narration button. And I can't figure out how to turn the goddamn thing off. And now when I watched a movie, all I hear is the director, some guy named Horse, you know, with a thick German accent, explaining what is going on in the submarine.

21:59🔗 Garry Marshall I did that pretty well, but I think you push a button, I disappear. I don't know how to work, but I just did it.

22:04🔗 Adam All right.

22:05🔗 Drew I rarely felt jealousy like this. Well, I'm so pissed at our friends.

22:09🔗 Adam That's my life. Well, Drew, if you have success, you get rewarded. That's the message. All right. The great Gary Marshall is here. Runaway Bride is his latest picture. I'm going to pitch him Kill Gallagher during the break. And I think he's going to be blown away. We'll be back with Gary Marshall in the Envious Drew after this.

22:27🔗 The pre-millennium madness continues with more celebrity scandals, more social deviance.

22:31🔗 And speaking of deviance, damn you, Y2K, but damn you to hell.

22:48🔗 He rants, therefore he is. Uncensored, unbridled, and as always, pure Dennis. Catch the Emmy Award-winning Dennis Miller Live. All new episodes Friday nights at 11.30, only on HBO.

23:00🔗 Loveline's phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. We'll be right back.

23:25🔗 Adam Hey, Gary Marshall, the great Gary Marshall is here, the creator, the producer, the writer, the actor.

23:35🔗 Garry Marshall Ball player, everything.

23:36🔗 Adam The ball player.

23:37🔗 Drew How he wants to be known.

23:38🔗 Adam Responsible for 70 to 80 percent of all entertainment, stage, television.

23:45🔗 Garry Marshall No, I have the theater, Falcon Theater in Los Angeles, Burbank. We have plays there.

23:51🔗 Drew Rapunzel's there now.

23:52🔗 Garry Marshall Well, I think it's good that the kids go see theater. Live theater is good. A lot of plays teach a lot about life, and it's a good thing. You can't change the channel. You got to sit there. That's a good discipline.

24:05🔗 Adam Is it your theater?

24:06🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah, I put it up myself. 99-seat theater to try to expose more people to plays.

24:11🔗 Adam That's interesting. Where in Burbank is that?

24:14🔗 Garry Marshall Right on Riverside Drive across from Bob's Big Boy.

24:18🔗 Adam Oh, yeah.

24:19🔗 Garry Marshall You know, it's near Warner's.

24:20🔗 Adam It's brand new.

24:20🔗 Garry Marshall Brand, yeah, it's...

24:22🔗 Drew Is that where you used to meet and walk around?

24:24🔗 Adam Yeah, right across the street. Starbucks is there.

24:26🔗 Drew Yeah, yeah.

24:27🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah, Starbucks, Moe's, Marie Callender's in the Falcon Theater. We put it up.

24:32🔗 Adam That's only a 99-seat-er?

24:34🔗 Garry Marshall Well, we have our offices there for the movie. The 99-seat theater doesn't quite pay off all the bills, so we have a movie company. But the theater really, we've been getting a lot of kids there for the weekend shows, and we're doing new works and stuff. It's interesting that, you know, somebody once said, and I get those here, is that a civilization is judged on their meeting places, and you know, we're in a place that, you know, the kids, a lot of them, they have there on the internet. They're even there in their room. The parents are in another room. People have Walkman and the-

25:08🔗 Drew DVDs with the 3D glasses.

25:10🔗 Garry Marshall Some very wealthy people have the DVDs, and they can listen to Das Boot all by themselves. But I think sometimes you gather in the theater. That's why I think the fact that they're all going to the movies is also good if they speak in the lobby. Just as long as people talk, it helps.

25:27🔗 Adam That, we, Drew and I, we wrote a book, and they were building that theater the entire time, or that office, the whole time we were working, we were working right across the street.

25:39🔗 Drew We used to meet and work on this book every day at the Starbucks.

25:42🔗 Garry Marshall Oh yeah, that's where we were. There used to be a gas station, we built it from scratch.

25:47🔗 Adam That building has the world's largest roof on it. I don't know if you've noticed that, it is all roof.

25:53🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah, who needs that? But you know, it's a permit business, you know, and they've got it. But inside, it's very nice.

26:00🔗 Drew Don't regret talking about permits.

26:01🔗 Adam It's a good look in it. Okay, yeah, I don't want to get going on it. But the reason, and I explain this because I have a little theater background myself, not too much, but the 99 seeder.

26:13🔗 Drew Gary, would you please stop working? You're already getting first off expensive gifts from your producers, my producers, that I can't even imagine owning.

26:20🔗 Garry Marshall You guys should do the show from there. We'll get an audience.

26:24🔗 Adam Versus Mr. Marshall.

26:25🔗 Garry Marshall I don't know what this Gary nonsense is.

26:28🔗 Adam Sorry, Mr. Marshall. Ninety-nine seat is because they don't have to pay the actors.

26:35🔗 Garry Marshall You had to pay them something, but not too much. Different than movies.

26:38🔗 Adam When you get into a hundred seats, then you got to start paying people. So that's why you always hear about these 99 seat theaters and it's not 105.

26:46🔗 Garry Marshall Equity waiver you can have. It allows you to do, like we did Death of a Salesman, Jack Cluckman, allows you to have large cast, 14, 15 people for regular theater. You have that many you can't afford.

26:58🔗 Adam Jack Cluckman, how's he doing?

27:00🔗 Garry Marshall He's, I did The Odd Couple with him five years. He's still, he had a little problem with his throat, but he's working now and he's doing pretty good.

27:08🔗 Adam Darcy?

27:09🔗 Caller Yeah, hello?

27:10🔗 Adam You're 15. What's going on?

27:12🔗 Caller I'd like to say I love Loveline.

27:14🔗 Adam Thanks.

27:14🔗 Caller Yeah. Well, I have this problem. I guess I should ask Dr. Drew. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I have this problem. My cousin gave me marijuana seeds and she said that I could either grow them or I could smoke them. And so I decided to smoke them. Then like a week after this happened, one of my friends said to me that she goes, why did you do that? I'm like, oh, what's wrong? And she goes, oh, well, you can never be able to have kids when you're older.

27:46🔗 Drew That's nonsense. Yeah.

27:48🔗 Adam There is some truth to that, because when they explode, you're blinded and you can never find a mate.

27:54🔗 Drew But Darcy, it's nonsense. And what I find bizarre about many of these drugs, like ecstasy and marijuana, is that we know so much about the very dangerous and truly dangerous properties of these drugs, of which none of which seems to circulate in the common vernacular. The seeds in the marijuana, forget it. Don't even worry about that. Marijuana, though, can be a, before the age of 16, has been well shown to cause damage to the right frontal lobe of the brain. And it is something we should not be using, and it's mostly in moderate users. All right, we'll just, you know, take it easy, all right? Don't worry about the fertility issue. That is not the issue with pot, all right?

28:30🔗 Caller Yeah, because, I mean, I'm not sexually active or anything. I just was, like, afraid that, like, when I, later on... Don't worry.

28:35🔗 Drew Stop worrying.

28:36🔗 All right?

28:38🔗 Adam All right.

28:39🔗 Garry Marshall I would talk to that cousin.

28:40🔗 Adam Yeah. I would have planted half of them and smoked the other half.

28:45🔗 Drew Being a practical guy as you are.

28:46🔗 Adam Right, right.

28:47🔗 Garry Marshall They had to worry about her skills. Smoked them or plant them. She didn't say sell them. That was a good idea, got to do that.

28:55🔗 Adam Stacey.

28:56🔗 Hi.

28:56🔗 Adam You're 29.

28:57🔗 Caller Yes, I am.

28:58🔗 Adam How are you?

28:58🔗 Caller I'm fine, thanks. How are you?

29:00🔗 Adam Good.

29:02🔗 Caller You're on. Okay. Yeah, I wanted to ask you a question about a comment I heard on your show, I think it was last night. You got this really disturbing phone call from a woman, yeah, who said about her girlfriend and her boyfriend, and you said something.

29:20🔗 Drew This was the girl that was going to destroy the baby after she was born. Right.

29:23🔗 Caller The boyfriend was going to do it for her. Right, right, right. It was very frightening. And you said something, and forgive me, I could be taking it out of context, or I may not have heard you correctly. I was driving home from work, but he said something about this is kind of where abortion has led or something like that. No, no.

29:42🔗 Drew What I said was, and it was close to that, Stacey. What I said was, and let's be clear, because what the kids tell me that have been through this is, hey, it's my body, that's my thing. What real difference, I can take care of whenever I want, and what difference it make if it's outside or inside my uterus, it's still part of my body, it's part of me. And they have massive levels of denial about it that's fueled by the state of the law of the land, which is that they are led to believe that this is completely their property.

30:16🔗 Caller Oh, completely their property.

30:18🔗 Drew That's how they talk about it.

30:21🔗 Adam All right, well, listen, Stacey, here's what Drew's saying.

30:24🔗 Caller I understand.

30:25🔗 Adam Now, you know I took issue with him, right?

30:27🔗 Caller No, I didn't. I didn't hear. I didn't hear that.

30:29🔗 Adam Turn the radio off during my best junk, you know.

30:32🔗 Drew I'm sorry.

30:33🔗 Caller I mean, I get it. I get the reception in better in the car and, you know, I went inside.

30:37🔗 Drew Stacey, don't let him hurt you.

30:38🔗 Garry Marshall Adam doesn't come across in cars as well as the doctor. It's a known fact.

30:44🔗 Caller I wouldn't have wanted to call up, but, you know, I know a lot of people who are really, particularly women who really do like the show and they talk about, you know, I teach college age students and I hear a lot of the women talk about, oh, you know, they're really great. They say a lot of, you know, things that help, you know, young women feel really empowered and controlled.

31:03🔗 Drew Yeah, let me, I am completely in favor of women being empowered in all areas, the interpersonal experience, particularly reproductive.

31:12🔗 Adam I absolutely am too, but it's so they leave me alone.

31:15🔗 Drew But I also.

31:15🔗 Adam Not for the same reasons, Drew. It's just so they get out of the goddamn house every once in a while.

31:19🔗 Drew I also believe in just reporting what seems to be happening.

31:23🔗 Caller Yeah, and I agree with you. And one reason why I wanted to call in is because as far as reporting what's happening is one thing that I've noticed is that a lot of people are conflating or actually confusing birth control with abortion.

31:36🔗 Drew Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. It's been going on for a long time.

31:40🔗 Caller Yeah, and that's something that I'm kind of.

31:42🔗 Drew And this is why I've taken a huge stance on the morning after pills, because it's not an abortion pill. It's a way to empower women to give them control of their reproductive health and take the abortion issue away and probably prevent 100,000 abortions a year. I think it would be a conservative estimate.

31:57🔗 Garry Marshall Oh, yeah. I agree with that. They got to get that across.

32:00🔗 Drew Yeah, and this pill works by suppressing ovulation. Everybody confuses it with RU486, and these pharmacist groups go out and say it's unethical because of some old literature that suggested it might affect implantation, which it really does not. It works by suppressing ovulation. Every woman should have the prevent kit or Plan B in their glove compartment, in their medicine cabinet, wherever, like a fire extinguisher.

32:23🔗 Garry Marshall Sure.

32:23🔗 Adam And let me say this again, Drew. Drew, I know you're always dumbfounded because you can't figure out why the people that are anti-abortion would be anti-morning after pill because this is a great way to stop abortions. Prevent abortions. And I tell you and I'll tell you again, these people aren't anti-abortion as much as they are pro-complaining. Do you understand? There's a certain segment of society that just can't shut their traps. All they want to do is complain. They want to write letters. They want to pick it. They're usually people that are unemployed and they have afternoons off. So they can go down to City Hall on Tuesday at noon and hang out on the steps all day.

33:06🔗 Garry Marshall And they have Xeroxes. A lot of Xeroxes.

33:09🔗 Adam I blame Kinkos.

33:10🔗 Garry Marshall Kinkos is what?

33:11🔗 Adam Before everyone sat in their garage all night and in 18 hours they made four posters. Now there's millions of leaflets in that same period of time. But these people want to complain. So when you say to them, hey, listen, we can stem the tide of abortion by taking this combination of pills. It's not an abortion. It just it does not let the pregnancy implant.

33:33🔗 Drew No, no, it's not how it works. It doesn't let the pregnancy occur.

33:37🔗 Adam Okay. Well, the point is, is you give them a nice alternative and they say to you, but wait a minute, now I got nothing to complain about. So, I'm going to fight this. And that just means they want to complain. You understand? That's the motive behind 90% of these people. There's 10% who really don't like abortion. The other 90% are mildly against abortion, but they are enamored with complaining. They love to complain. Same fat chick sitting home over a word processor all day while someone else goes out and does the work. Busy people rarely complain. When's the last time you wrote a letter to somebody? When's the last time you chained yourself to something?

34:16🔗 Drew You vote with your feet. You just don't do that anymore. You don't turn to that channel. You don't whatever. You just cut that thing.

34:23🔗 Garry Marshall You rarely call them doctor. You just say true.

34:26🔗 Adam That's right. I should start calling them doctor.

34:28🔗 Drew I never noticed that. The fact that he's referring to me other than boy or hey you is really quite an improvement. That's the way he treats me in the airports.

34:36🔗 Adam Let me try.

34:37🔗 Drew I'm like a porter.

34:39🔗 Adam Let me try something. I'm going to use Gary's strategy. Hey Doc, I need a warm up. Could you get me some coffee? Andrea?

34:46🔗 Caller Uh huh.

34:47🔗 Adam You're 22.

34:48🔗 Caller Yup.

34:49🔗 Adam You have a purely physical relationship and want to keep it that way.

34:53🔗 Caller Well, I mean he's a very good friend of mine.

34:55🔗 Adam Right.

34:56🔗 Caller And we get along great. And the sex is really good. But I know that we would never work in a dating relationship.

35:03🔗 Drew Because why?

35:05🔗 Caller Because of his background and the way that he's treat his other girlfriends and the way that I am in my previous relationship.

35:11🔗 Drew Which is what?

35:12🔗 Caller Which is I get really, whatever you say. And I kind of like fall back into the submissive role.

35:18🔗 Drew And what does he do?

35:19🔗 Caller And he's very possessive and jealous and wants to know every aspect of what's going on. And I'm trying to change my submissive behavior. And it just wouldn't be good if we were dating.

35:31🔗 Adam Okay.

35:31🔗 Garry Marshall So you're just having sex. That's not a submissive role. The sex is equal?

35:36🔗 Caller Sex is equal. Uh-huh. And he's starting to say to me, you know, I'd like to, I really like you a lot. I want this to go on. Let's take this a little bit farther. And I'm like, let's just keep it here.

35:51🔗 Garry Marshall And you're kind of like using him then in a way.

35:55🔗 Caller Well, we're using each other.

35:57🔗 Drew Yeah, I think, right. I think you're using yourself a little bit too, Andrea, right? You're putting it here in a situation where you're in such control. It's such a sterile environment for you that you're sort of in control of everything.

36:11🔗 Adam I'm planning on using myself later on too, by the way.

36:13🔗 Drew I'm sure you are with that damn DVD thing.

36:15🔗 Adam Oh, man. Oh, when I get the porn, I got a DVD porn, Gary. When I get that going with the virtual reality goggles, I'm going to be masturbating in the middle of the street. I won't know where I am.

36:24🔗 Garry Marshall This girl is trying to ask a serious question here. So I think for her...

36:29🔗 Adam Like cars are going to be piling up. I'm going to walk around with my pants around my ankles. Oh, it's going to be great.

36:35🔗 Garry Marshall You gotta remember, I did Happy Days. The worst that ever happened was Hickeys. We didn't have the... There was no masturbation in the 50s, okay?

36:44🔗 Adam Hey, Andrea.

36:46🔗 Drew All right, we gotta take a break.

36:47🔗 Adam We gotta take a break.

36:48🔗 Drew We're going to come back to you. I want to figure her out a little bit.

36:50🔗 Adam You do?

36:50🔗 Drew Yeah, I do.

36:50🔗 Adam You smell some gambling?

36:52🔗 Drew No, no. Actually, I think she's very honest, but there's something going on there.

36:56🔗 Adam We'll get to that with Gary Marshall after this. Now the show is starting. I was so busy schmoozing with Hollywood heavyweight, Gary Marshall, and I forgot the show. Hey, Drew, could you take over? Gary and I are going to take a lunch.

37:48🔗 Garry Marshall We're going to get together and talk about these different ideas.

37:51🔗 Adam We got some project ideas.

37:53🔗 Garry Marshall But I like, well, a lot of my stuff was for young people, and it's just a different era now.

38:00🔗 Drew I'm fascinated with the idea of going to meet them on the Internet because they're there. I'm developing this drdrew.com. We've had about 10,000 registrations already, and these people were giving them newsletters, and we're having contests. At this point, there's not even any content yet. My dream is to have, well, what we're doing is going to be the portal for the National Institute of Health, National Institute of Mental Health, and so people can come in through us and end up in that big system.

38:23🔗 Garry Marshall Nothing's worse than being lonely when you're a teenager, isolated, lonely.

38:27🔗 Drew But imagine you have all that ability to build community with people.

38:31🔗 Garry Marshall The Internet, they like, they talk, because why? You don't have to look into a person's eyes.

38:35🔗 Drew Well, the usual social sort of process isn't there. It's just, you just go interact.

38:41🔗 Garry Marshall But that's, you know, we do this and that, research thousands of tools. We look on the Internet, you know, the 14, 15-year-old girls, they talk. That's what helped get Runaway Bride started. They talk about it one road. Don't listen to the reviewer go. I like that. You know, that's where you get a feel of it. And they are very, they got their own group there.

39:00🔗 Drew That's a community.

39:01🔗 Adam Runaway Bride, by the way, in theaters as we speak. And we'll have to wait till tomorrow.

39:07🔗 Garry Marshall But we don't need a plug.

39:08🔗 Adam No, we don't want a plug, but we're fine. I'm just telling that, just alerting the folks.

39:12🔗 Garry Marshall He's really nice to me, doctor.

39:15🔗 Adam Yeah, I know who's asked to kiss, please. Andrea, you're 22.

39:20🔗 Drew You know how you treated Jelardy on Saturday.

39:23🔗 Adam You didn't put me in the game. What did you want? Go ahead, Andrea. All right, so let's just do a quick recap. You're in a relationship. It's with a friend of yours. You both have spotty track records.

39:36🔗 Drew Yeah.

39:36🔗 Adam And he wants to take it to the next level. You don't.

39:40🔗 Drew Yes.

39:40🔗 Adam Because I don't trust the reason you say.

39:44🔗 Drew Yeah, right. That's what I want to explore. It's not making sense.

39:47🔗 Garry Marshall You're using each other, but.

39:49🔗 Drew What is so safe about this place? Why don't you want to get out of this relationship and have a real relationship if this isn't the right one?

39:55🔗 Caller Because I just know that it's not going to work out.

39:57🔗 Drew He's going to end it and go somewhere else. Forget about him. Forget about him. Now have a real relationship with somebody. What about that?

40:04🔗 Caller I haven't really met anybody.

40:05🔗 Drew Do you think you'd be open to it if the right guy, if a guy came along?

40:08🔗 Caller Yeah. I would stop seeing him if the right guy came along.

40:12🔗 Drew But while you're seeing him, aren't you sort of tied up in a way that might at least take away your circulation? At least cut the wind out of your sails and not make you likely to be out there?

40:23🔗 Caller Well, I go out on the weekends and stuff like that. I'm not with him 24-7.

40:27🔗 Adam Hold on a second. Andrea? Let me ask important questions here. You're describing a situation that we don't hear very often and especially from women. And it usually leads us to believe that something's up with you. There's something that got you off of intimate relationships. Someone broke your heart, somebody did some wrong to you, somebody disappointed you, dad left the family, somebody did some drinking. What happened? What got you off of what we would call like a sort of normal female relationship pattern?

40:58🔗 Caller Well, I've been in a, since I was 16, I've been in a series of serious relationships. I mean, I've never had casual dating.

41:06🔗 Caller I've always been very serious with people.

41:08🔗 Adam With older guys?

41:09🔗 Caller Just like a year or two, not much at all. And they've all ended fairly amicably. And we're still friends and stuff. My parents are still together.

41:21🔗 No drinking, no drugs.

41:24🔗 Adam Well, then you're just sort of marching the beat of your own drama.

41:27🔗 Drew How long have you been in this relationship with this guy?

41:29🔗 Caller We've been friends for about three years.

41:31🔗 Drew And you've been in this maintenance relationship that long?

41:33🔗 Caller No, we've only started having sex for about nine months.

41:37🔗 Garry Marshall But maybe that's what's comfortable. Girl once said to me, I don't want to break up because I don't want to learn to take my clothes off in front of a new person. I'm comfortable with this guy.

41:47🔗 Drew Yeah, but being comfortable with somebody that's not available is usually just a safe place, but not a particularly fulfilling or gratifying place.

41:56🔗 Adam Well, we're not calling you a liar. We just don't believe you.

41:58🔗 Drew Well, no, I actually do believe that. I actually do. And I just think it's time for her to put herself out there. It's sort of like she's on idle. She's taking a break. She's had these kind of overly serious...

42:08🔗 Garry Marshall Yeah, she took a break. It won't be so intense.

42:11🔗 Drew Yeah. All right.

42:11🔗 Adam So let her take a break.

42:12🔗 Drew But she's kind of stuck is the thing. She's got to really tune into her feelings a little more thoroughly. See, she's been in these very, very co-dependent relationships where she becomes sort of lost in the relationships and she's what she calls submissive. Yeah. But in reality, she just sort of loses herself in these things. And she's now starting to find herself a little bit. And as such, she just sort of found this maintenance that allows her to sustain herself as a separate person. Now she needs to go out as a separate person, actually have a union with somebody that's also available.

42:41🔗 Adam All right. But Drew, maybe she just should stay home and, you know, screw this friend of hers. I mean, do we care really? Leave her alone.

42:47🔗 Drew I know you don't.

42:48🔗 Garry Marshall No, but she's ready to move on. It's a good point.

42:50🔗 Adam Well, she called.

42:51🔗 Garry Marshall She'll think about it.

42:52🔗 Adam Frank, you're 21.

42:54🔗 Caller Yes, I am.

42:55🔗 Adam What's going on?

42:56🔗 Caller I had a bad drug episode, sir.

42:58🔗 Drew What happened, sir? You're talking to Gary?

43:01🔗 Caller What's that?

43:02🔗 Drew What happened?

43:03🔗 Caller Oh, I was taking some mushrooms, drinking some beers and taking a bong rip or whatever.

43:08🔗 Drew So you did marijuana, mushrooms and alcohol?

43:10🔗 Caller Yeah, and smoking cigarettes. All right. And anyway, You had a panic attack or something? I've been prone to anxiety attacks before, but I kind of got up and I was walking to get some fresh air because I was feeling a little nausea. And then I kind of just fell out and I fell on the ground, I guess everybody says. And my body stretched out and I was making some weird moaning sound.

43:33🔗 Drew So you had a seizure.

43:35🔗 Caller Oh, really?

43:35🔗 Adam Is that what that is?

43:36🔗 Drew Yeah.

43:36🔗 Adam It's always bad when your friends have to explain to you what you did.

43:40🔗 Drew Yeah. Were you doing any cocaine at all?

43:43🔗 Caller No, sir.

43:44🔗 Drew All right. You need to see a doctor.

43:46🔗 Adam Why?

43:47🔗 Drew Because he had a seizure. And those are not drugs that typically cause seizures. So it means that there may be something pre-existing that's sort of...

43:54🔗 Adam Well, maybe he was just passed out.

43:56🔗 Drew It's possible. And by the way, when people's blood pressure and pulse go very low, sometimes they'll become tonic, they'll sort of arch back like this as part of what's called syncope. And it's possible it was all just low blood pressure, low pulse, and with this sort of seizure that comes oftentimes with that phenomenon. But these are not drugs that usually cause that. So we need some sort of cardiac evaluation to make sure he doesn't have some problem predisposing to these sorts of attacks. Next time he happens, it could be driving a car. Two, he has to be evaluated.

44:26🔗 Adam If he's driving a car, doing quailudes, having a bong load, and taking mushrooms, yeah.

44:31🔗 Drew The point is...

44:32🔗 Adam But he figures he's going to crash anyway.

44:33🔗 Drew Neither of these things, whether it's hypotension from a cardiac cause or seizure from some pre-existing neurologic condition, neither of those are typically caused by the combination of drugs he was doing. So you wonder if there's some pre-existing thing that it sort of kindled or brought out, and that's what he needs the evaluation for.

44:50🔗 Caller When I woke up, I felt fine.

44:52🔗 Drew I'm sure, Frank. You're not hearing a word I'm saying.

44:54🔗 Adam Alright, Frank, go to the doctor and have your CAT scanned.

44:59🔗 Garry Marshall Did you eat lunch?

45:01🔗 Caller Hello?

45:02🔗 Adam Okay. Hey, Frank?

45:03🔗 Caller Yeah.

45:04🔗 Adam It wouldn't hurt to have a checkup anyway, would it?

45:06🔗 Caller Should I go?

45:07🔗 Garry Marshall Yes. Yes. I'd vote for that.

45:09🔗 Drew Yes.

45:09🔗 Adam Tell me about a seizure.

45:12🔗 Drew I think seizure workup is one thing that needs to be done.

45:15🔗 Adam Yeah. The guy can barely communicate. He thinks it's fine.

45:17🔗 Drew He's doing a lot of pod there.

45:19🔗 Adam Oh, really?

45:19🔗 Garry Marshall Seizure is different than passing out. That's the big one.

45:22🔗 Drew Well, either he seized and passed out, or he had low blood pressure. And when the blood supply goes down that low, the oxygen is cut off. People will sometimes get a seizure-like phenomenon. That's part of that. But neither of those things should be happening from those drugs. That's the point. They may have brought something on that was pre-existing.

45:39🔗 Adam Mike is a huge fan of Gary's and wants to say something very quickly before we go to break.

45:45🔗 Caller I was wondering, besides the first thing, Adam and Drew, you guys rule, and Drew, do you have, is there more to your name?

45:53🔗 Drew Drew Pinsky.

45:55🔗 Adam Mike, remember the part about you're going to say something very quickly to Gary Marshall before we go to break, but you kill the first 15 minutes with the Drew's nomenclature? All right. Now you screwed yourself. His question was, he's a big fan of yours. He wants to know how to get into the movie business. But now we got to go to break and Gary has got to go home and go to sleep because the streetlights have been on for almost two hours now.

46:22🔗 Garry Marshall They have.

46:23🔗 Adam And the milk is getting cold by the side of the bed. All right, Gary, the great Gary Marshall, thank you very much for coming in.

46:30🔗 Garry Marshall I will come back and tell you how to be an actor next time. Thank you so much for having me on.

46:36🔗 Adam You have a lot of projects and you really ought to come back and pay us a visit each time one comes out.

46:41🔗 Garry Marshall I like it. Now that I know where you are, I can find it here. No, it's very interesting what you guys do. And we have a few laughs too. What's wrong with that?

46:50🔗 Adam Nothing. All right, we'll be back after this.

47:12🔗 We're the G-spot on your radio dial.

47:15🔗 Caller Oh, we're right there.

47:16🔗 Love Line on 1027.

47:22🔗 Adam It is Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew. We're gonna take a quick ten-second timeout. We'll be back with more of the show in just ten seconds. This is Loveline on Radio Station. It is Loveline. I'm Adam, that is Drew over there. Garry Marshall has left the building. He's here plugging Runaway Bride, number one at the box office last week, and nice guy that Garry, especially for a guy who's been around and done as much as he has.

48:05🔗 Drew I mean, my God. Yeah.

48:07🔗 Adam Yeah, he has been in A Million Things, he's produced A Million Things, he's directed A Million Things. I think he's written A Million Things.

48:14🔗 Drew Yeah, it's almost unbelievable, it's extraordinary.

48:18🔗 Adam Yeah, he must enjoy it.

48:20🔗 Caller Yes.

48:22🔗 Adam I don't know, I think if I had a bunch of money, I'd stay home.

48:26🔗 Drew We know that, you've said that many, many times.

48:27🔗 Garry Marshall Right.

48:28🔗 Drew The creative endeavor is not something that produces great rewards for you, unless it's financial. So you can get closer to your retirement.

48:36🔗 Adam I'm just not in love with anything. I like the model airplanes, I like to watch TV, I like to work on my house, you know? Yeah. None of this stuff involves I like to work. business.

48:47🔗 Drew You like to work? I like to work. I like to make a difference.

48:52🔗 Adam What about making a difference down at the model airplane field? What about those people, Drew? You realize how many people's lives have touched over there? Like three guys.

49:01🔗 Drew They'll never be the same.

49:02🔗 Caller No.

49:05🔗 Adam Tim.

49:06🔗 Caller Yes.

49:07🔗 Adam You're 21. What's going on?

49:09🔗 Caller First, let me tell Dr. Drew, they shouldn't be jealous of you, Adam. I prefer Dr. Drew over Adam. Sorry to say that.

49:16🔗 Drew Well, that's not translating into that DVD that he has. I'm just mad at our producers for getting at of something so extraordinary.

49:22🔗 Adam He's upset because each year our producers, the same producers that produce us on Loveline, get through a jumbo assortment can of popcorn. And I get the DVD player with the virtual goggle.

49:36🔗 Drew And well, the scary thing is it's going to destroy you.

49:39🔗 Adam That's right. As soon as I get that porn in there, that's it.

49:43🔗 Drew Didn't Jenna Jameson say she was going to send you something?

49:45🔗 Adam I did get the Jenna Jameson porn movie. It's excellent. As a matter of fact.

49:51🔗 Drew The DVD?

49:52🔗 Adam Yeah, you flip the disc over, you see the whole making of the movie on the back side. Craft services, fire marshals, the whole thing. It's great.

50:01🔗 Drew Great. And you put that on your DVD machine, your new one?

50:05🔗 Adam No, I haven't put on the surround one.

50:07🔗 Drew Not yet. You're gonna be wandering the streets.

50:09🔗 Adam I'll tell you. That's it. I'll be the guy stopping traffic. Like Mr. Magoo with his pants around his ankles. Go ahead, Tim.

50:18🔗 Caller Okay, my problem is, I got a problem with premature ejaculation.

50:22🔗 Adam Yeah.

50:23🔗 Caller And I was wondering if you guys can tell me what I can do about this.

50:27🔗 Drew How premature are we talking about?

50:29🔗 Caller Oh, like when I-

50:30🔗 Adam Day before?

50:31🔗 Caller Jerk off about like three, four minutes is when it's done. And I hate to say that, but that's the way it happens with me.

50:40🔗 Adam Tim, when you're jerking off and it takes three or four minutes, it's not premature. That's just-

50:46🔗 Drew Well honed.

50:47🔗 Adam Yeah. That's efficiency. Do you understand?

50:50🔗 Caller Okay, cause-

50:52🔗 Adam You're scared you're not giving your hand all it could handle?

50:55🔗 Caller No, I mean, I've been with girls before. I've been making out and it's just, you know, it's just came out, you know.

51:00🔗 Adam Yeah, okay. That's really what we should be focusing on, that, the masturbation, right?

51:05🔗 Caller Okay. Yeah.

51:06🔗 Drew How often are you masturbating?

51:09🔗 Caller About once a day.

51:12🔗 Adam And what do you think of, Drew?

51:17🔗 Drew Just checking if there's any other sort of ways you can take the bullet from the chamber, like you say. That's not the issue.

51:22🔗 Adam Have you always had this problem with women?

51:24🔗 Caller Yeah. Yeah, that's the main reason why I'm calling, to see if there's a problem, if there's a way I can fix it.

51:29🔗 Drew Have you ever had a relationship?

51:31🔗 Caller Um, not a serious one, no.

51:34🔗 Drew What you can fix, that's one way you can fix it, is by actually having a relationship with somebody and see if you can sort of work this out with somebody you care about, somebody who can work with you on this and find ways that you can sort of deal with what it is that you are. Now, there are medications out there, so these serotonin re-uptake inhibitors like Prozac and Zoloft will delay ejaculation, they're not supposed to drop your sex drive. I know, it needs to work it out. Yeah, 20-way never been in a relationship, there are better ways to deal with this than that.

51:59🔗 Adam Well, here's the thing, women as well, but I think even more so guys, they all need that relationship where they really work it out. Do you know what I'm saying?

52:11🔗 Drew Figure it out, yeah.

52:12🔗 Adam Where they really sort of hone their sexual craft, try the different positions, get a little confidence, you know, do that gag where you're walking around with the erection and the sombrero hanging from your penis, you know, having sex outdoors, right? That whole thing, I mean, everybody has that relationship. Some people it happens at 16, 17, some people doesn't happen at 21, 22, whatever, but you kind of have to get that one under your belt and until then all bets are off. Because if you're a woman and you're not having an orgasm and all you've had is a string of sort of short lived relationships or one night stands or you're a guy and you're in premature ejaculation or you're having some sort of difficulty but all you've had is a bunch of short lived relationships, all bets are off until you've had that long one. And once you've had that long one, you really can work out a lot of problems, get some confidence, build a little form. Right, Drew?

53:08🔗 Drew Right.

53:09🔗 Adam You had that one when you're 13 with your au pair?

53:11🔗 Drew Yeah, I was 9.

53:12🔗 Adam Oh, I mean 9, sorry.

53:13🔗 Drew That's right. I just for some reason triggered on this fact that somebody was telling me they were watching the TV show, our show the other night and lo and behold, there's the Joke Tote, the Joke Board.

53:23🔗 Adam Oh, really?

53:24🔗 Drew On the TV show.

53:25🔗 Adam That means they're showing the ones that we did in the mid 70s, right?

53:29🔗 Garry Marshall Two years ago.

53:31🔗 Adam Really? Rerunning those.

53:32🔗 Drew Two years ago.

53:34🔗 Adam That's when my hair was down to my shoulders. And you were-

53:37🔗 Drew Well, I'm kind of worried because things have changed medically since then. I really think that that's irresponsible.

53:42🔗 Adam You just got back from Vietnam, I remember.

53:44🔗 Drew Yeah. You were talking about-

53:47🔗 Adam Yeah, you were talking about all these medical breakthroughs. I think you were calling AIDS grids.

53:51🔗 Drew Great grids.

53:52🔗 Adam Back then.

53:53🔗 Drew Gay-related intestinal disease syndrome. That's right.

53:55🔗 Adam Right. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, Flock of Seagulls was one of the guests.

54:00🔗 Drew Hard Cut 100.

54:01🔗 Adam I remember those shows. Yeah. Yeah, I think Wham! UK may have came in. That's right. That's right. At the Hoodoo Gurus. Sure. All right. Well, you know, anything to squeeze a buck out of the show, Drew, we don't get paid for those, do we? No, we have a great deal, though, right? We have an excellent deal, except for the only thing that's wrong with our TV deal.

54:23🔗 Drew Hey, let's just relax.

54:24🔗 Adam No, no, just listen. There's only two things. I'm only going to complain about two things that are wrong with our TV deal, Drew. And it's only two. It's really only two. One is we don't get paid barely anything when we do the show in the first place. And then the other thing that's wrong is we never get paid again. So they run the ones we barely got paid for at Nausium and then we don't get paid again. Other than that, it's an excellent, excellent deal. Okay. All right. Laura?

54:51🔗 Caller Yeah.

54:51🔗 Adam You're 14.

54:53🔗 Caller Yeah.

54:53🔗 Caller What's going on?

54:55🔗 Caller I was just like wondering what you guys thought. I was like thinking about having sex with my boyfriend, but...

55:02🔗 Drew You're 14?

55:03🔗 Caller Yeah.

55:04🔗 Adam How old is he?

55:05🔗 Caller 14.

55:06🔗 Caller Wow.

55:07🔗 Adam And when are you going to be 15?

55:10🔗 Caller This year.

55:11🔗 Caller End of this year.

55:13🔗 Drew December.

55:14🔗 Caller Yeah.

55:15🔗 Drew 14 and a half. Yeah. Do you think you're ready for this right now?

55:22🔗 Caller I don't know.

55:23🔗 Drew It's not something to forge on with when you're not sure. I've yet to talk to a woman who felt good about losing her virginity at 14. And I've talked to a lot of them that have lost their virginity.

55:39🔗 Adam Yeah.

55:39🔗 Drew And in fact, it's remarkable how commonly women regret almost whatever age they give up their virginity, as long as it's not, it was before sort of 18.

55:49🔗 Adam Yeah.

55:50🔗 Drew They always wish they'd waited.

55:51🔗 Adam Women, you talk to some women that lost it at 37. It's like, oh, you broke my heart.

55:57🔗 Drew I should have waited.

55:57🔗 Adam Should have waited until I was in my 40s. I really should have.

56:00🔗 Drew But at 14, it's absolutely without exception.

56:04🔗 Adam Well, here's the problem. I mean, here's my take with that problem. And how long have you guys been together?

56:10🔗 Caller About three months.

56:12🔗 Adam Three months. The problem with losing your virginity at 14 is, where do you go? You'll be doing snuff films by the time you're 17.

56:20🔗 Drew Well, that and your...

56:21🔗 Adam Anal sex cannot be far behind. You will get it in the ass before you get your learner's permit.

56:26🔗 Drew The brain development is not such that you're really prepared to deal with all that comes with this experience. It's just the way it is. I know you feel like you're ready, but you're really not.

56:36🔗 Adam But it's kind of weird though, because you get into a solid relationship. You love him. He loves you. He's 14 too. You're treating each other right. I mean, I never had any girlfriends, but I remember I had friends that had them. They were inseparable. They wrote each other's names on their peachy folders. You know, they loved each other. And it's like a year goes by and, OK, so they're 14 and a half now. They've been going out for a year. It's like, what do you do? We're practically married and, you know, they see more of each other than you and Susan see each other. They say, what do you do? You know, you want to kind of keep going. Yeah, but it's still a little young, Laura. How'd you give it like another 17 years?

57:22🔗 Caller Another thing I was wondering about is like, is there any way to make it less painful?

57:26🔗 Adam No, it's excruciating.

57:28🔗 Drew It might explode.

57:29🔗 Adam Yeah. No.

57:31🔗 Drew Okay.

57:32🔗 Adam No.

57:33🔗 Drew No.

57:33🔗 Adam The only way to make losing your virginity less painful is to have a couple of kids first.

57:39🔗 Drew The other way is to make sure you're completely relaxed and ready. And it's not where you're at.

57:45🔗 Adam All right. So just don't make any decisions tonight. Just relax. Take it slow, would you? All right, Drew, it's now it's officially gone beyond sun and in here and it's become kiln.

57:57🔗 Drew Can you turn the and you're farting too. Oh, come on.

58:00🔗 Adam That is going to mix nicely with the thick air in here. Yes. Hey, Drew, you ever surprised yourself with a fart?

58:09🔗 Drew Like I was standing in my like you like you presented wrapped.

58:13🔗 Adam No, no. I mean, no. Yeah, just because. No, I was standing in the basement today, my basement with the weeds, you know, and we were kibitzing around with the model airplanes, you know, because I'm big time. And they're down. We're standing in my basement. I let this fart go that for me was like one to ten. I give it a one. You know, it was like that. It's like, whoa, that's like, yeah. Then a minute and a half later, holy Christ, what's going on? Oh, my God. And the weeds was like trapped in the basement. He was like spazzing out too. And I was laughing like a mad man because never have I gotten so much for so little. You know what I mean?

58:54🔗 Drew I'm happy for you.

58:54🔗 Adam I usually let these huge bugles, you know, the trumpet comes out of my ass in no smell. But this was like, and then stunk the high heaven. It was really, it was a nice, Very gratifying. It was a nice, how do you do? Scott?

59:11🔗 Yeah.

59:12🔗 Adam You're 17.

59:13🔗 Caller Yeah. I sort of have a medical question.

59:16🔗 Drew Yeah.

59:17🔗 Caller Since November, I've been in a relationship with another guy. And like, it's been good. And then like the last three or four times, I haven't been able to stay up, like at all.

59:29🔗 Drew With him?

59:30🔗 Caller Excuse me?

59:30🔗 Drew With the guy.

59:31🔗 Caller Yeah. Yeah. Like my, I don't maintain the erection or I don't get it.

59:37🔗 Adam Why do people fight us when we are sort of agreeing with them, you know?

59:41🔗 Drew Just confirming.

59:42🔗 Yeah.

59:43🔗 Drew Well.

59:44🔗 Adam Is your behind man still intact?

59:46🔗 Caller Yeah. Well, I don't, like I haven't had sex with him. I've just had, just totally been oral and everything. And like, I'm afraid to do that. And I don't know exactly, like, if there's something wrong with my body or.

59:58🔗 Drew No, nothing wrong with your body.

59:59🔗 Adam You've just had oral sex with him.

1:00:01🔗 Caller Yeah, we've had it, like, for a while now because I refuse to, like, do anything else.

1:00:06🔗 Drew What are the feelings? How old is he, by the way?

1:00:08🔗 Adam 42.

1:00:09🔗 Caller Well, he's older than me.

1:00:12🔗 Drew How old is he?

1:00:13🔗 Caller Oh, he's 21.

1:00:14🔗 Drew And what is the experience like when you're in there having trouble? Are you anxious or you?

1:00:19🔗 Caller Yeah, well, like I get like because he's like really into it and like he's like couldn't be any more ready to mess around. But like me, my whole my body, I think like I get nervous about it. And it makes me like I get real self-conscious, like you touch me and I'm like, get away, get away.

1:00:35🔗 Drew So you're not real comfortable with all this. And if you're anxious, you're gonna lose your erection. That's the way it goes. That's the way your body works.

1:00:42🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:00:42🔗 Drew So if there's something making you uncomfortable, things don't work.

1:00:46🔗 Caller Cause like the girl that like, cause he works with me and like everybody knows that I work with going on. And like the girl say, well, I guess it means that you're not gay. And like, I think it really bothers him. And like, I don't know. And I don't know if it's because like lately he's been getting more emotional, like telling me how he feels.

1:01:03🔗 Drew Are you gay?

1:01:04🔗 Caller Like, I don't think so. I don't know. Like, this is the first time.

1:01:08🔗 Drew Why have you sex with a guy if you're not gay?

1:01:09🔗 Adam They're doing a lot of blowing for a straight guy.

1:01:11🔗 Caller Well, I don't like, I'm not sure exactly where I am yet.

1:01:15🔗 Drew What's made you so confused?

1:01:17🔗 Caller Well, because like the first time something happened was in November. And we were both really drunk at a party. And he sort of, I don't know if he took advantage, but I didn't. Well, he couldn't because I didn't stop him.

1:01:27🔗 Drew Well, he's 17. He's 21.

1:01:30🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:01:30🔗 Drew And he's against the law.

1:01:31🔗 Adam Drunk.

1:01:32🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:01:32🔗 Caller And then like he left because he goes to school. And then he came back for the summer. And he works with me. He's just seasonal, like during back to school and during Christmas.

1:01:41🔗 Drew What happened long ago that made you so confused about your sexuality?

1:01:44🔗 Caller What? How long ago did I get confused?

1:01:47🔗 Adam What happened?

1:01:48🔗 Drew When you were six.

1:01:50🔗 Caller When I was, well, I'm adopted. I don't know. He tells me things happened to him. I don't know exactly what happened.

1:01:56🔗 Drew What happened to him?

1:01:58🔗 Caller He says like his uncle or something touched him or something.

1:02:01🔗 Drew What happened to you?

1:02:02🔗 Caller Me? I don't, I don't know.

1:02:05🔗 Adam How old were you when you were adopted?

1:02:07🔗 Caller I was six.

1:02:08🔗 Drew And you don't know what happened before that?

1:02:10🔗 Caller Not really. I know things that happened to me.

1:02:12🔗 Drew Like what?

1:02:13🔗 Caller Like I know I was messed with when I was younger.

1:02:15🔗 Drew How old were you?

1:02:16🔗 Adam We've been talking about that for 20 minutes now, Scott.

1:02:19🔗 Caller Yeah, like I don't know if it's just like, I don't know. This whole thing like is bothering me.

1:02:25🔗 Drew Scott, why don't you cool out? You don't know who you are. You don't know what you are. Don't try to have a relationship until you have some sense of what it is you want.

1:02:35🔗 Caller Yeah. Well, like what's weird is like I want that like after like lately I've wanted this sexual thing. Like it hasn't bothered me at all. And I've been telling people about it and like being open. It's just like, sometimes it just starts to scare me. Like when he tells me, yeah, I really like you and I'm going to tell my parents because he's telling his parents and who who messed with you when you were small. I had like an older cousin, like I know because our adoption is within our family and my my parents are, my dad's an alcoholic right now that I live with. And like I know I fit all the symptoms that like you guys always talk about. Like I really don't think something's like mentally wrong with me.

1:03:15🔗 Adam But no, you sound pretty good. But boy, you got some issues, brother. And you're just kind of acting out. And really, you're really two guys are sort of the product of bad, bad backgrounds, like two guys, two two two convicts from a different prison who are now on the outside just experimenting on each other. You know, I mean, I don't know if you're gay or not. I mean, if you like guys, you're gay. But I don't think you came out of the womb gay. I think somebody screwed around with you. And that's why you're ambivalent. I mean, this is what you here. Here's my assessment on you, Scott. And as you know, from listening to the show, I'm always right. Okay. If you'd been brought up in a very stable environment with two loving parents and no screwball cousin or uncle that experimented on you when you're four and a half, I don't think you'd ever come in contact with a guy. But I think because of your chaotic background and because of some things that were done to you, you're compelled to have contact with men. Even though there's a part of you on a sort of biological level, it doesn't really feel right about it because it doesn't even feel like that's what you should be doing.

1:04:30🔗 Caller Yeah, because I've had sex with a girl.

1:04:32🔗 Adam Right. You're just confused.

1:04:34🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:04:34🔗 Adam So what you need to do is just sort of pull over and take a nap. Right. You know what I mean?

1:04:39🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:04:40🔗 Adam And this guy is no scout leader himself because he got screwed with and he's just doing more screwing around with. As a matter of fact, against the law, what he's doing. Yeah. He was somebody screwed around with him when he was a kid and lo and behold, he screws around with the kids, finds some guy at work, gets him drunk and starts taking it out on him. That's why I want the people that do this killed twice. My new policy. Two executions. You know how some places have lethal injection, other places have the electric chair. When I'm in charge and I condemn someone to die from the state, I'm going to give them both. What do you think of that, Drew?

1:05:22🔗 Drew Perfect.

1:05:23🔗 Adam Two times. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They do that sometimes with some sort of-

1:05:28🔗 Drew Five life sentences and things.

1:05:30🔗 Adam Yeah. They give you five life sentences. They give you five consecutive life sentences. What's wrong with giving them two death sentences?

1:05:37🔗 Drew Sure.

1:05:38🔗 Adam We give them a lethal injection and then we drag his corpse over the electric chair and we fry him. You know what I mean? It's like extra gratification for the victim's families. You know what I'm saying, Drew? That's a good idea. Write that one down. Hello.

1:05:53🔗 Caller Yeah. Thanks.

1:05:55🔗 Hi.

1:05:55🔗 Adam Hey, Vince. Sorry we had to break up the clogging competition. What was going on over there?

1:06:03🔗 I'm cleaning. I got you in the speaker.

1:06:06🔗 Adam Well, you're doing some cleaning.

1:06:07🔗 Yeah.

1:06:09🔗 Adam What are you cleaning?

1:06:12🔗 I just painted. I got paint on my floor. I used a drop cloth, but I got paint on my floor, and I'm cleaning that out of my hardwood floor.

1:06:21🔗 Adam Oh, that's a bitch. Hey, what are you cleaning it with?

1:06:25🔗 Murphy's oil soap.

1:06:27🔗 Adam Oh, you know, there's this stuff called Goof Off. It works real well for that.

1:06:30🔗 I can use it on hardwood floors, though. Goof Off?

1:06:33🔗 Adam Yeah, comes in a yellow can, and it has a red writing on it. It's like real serious stuff. You can hoof it, too. It really gets you a nice high.

1:06:41🔗 Really?

1:06:42🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:06:42🔗 Drew Are you being silly?

1:06:43🔗 Adam No, it's a product called Goof Off.

1:06:45🔗 I know what you're talking about.

1:06:46🔗 Drew You do? You need that product on the show.

1:06:48🔗 Adam You have the paint store. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, be careful with the hardwood, because it's pretty serious ass, this Goof Off, but it's an effective product. All right, so go ahead.

1:06:58🔗 OK, so I wanted to talk to Dr. Drew Pinsky. You know, when people call up and they say they smoke pot and stuff, and one of your first questions is like, are you forgetful and things like that? I have a big problem with that. I don't smoke pot, but I just, I am so unbelievably out of it sometimes. I'm with my, you know, I don't know, I had to walk into a room and wonder why I came in here and things like that. And I was wondering if that is something that, like an ADD type thing or what.

1:07:31🔗 Drew How long have you had this for?

1:07:33🔗 I really have been like this as long as I can remember. Like I was always really bad at reading. You know, I could read, but I wouldn't, I'd be like daydreaming when I was reading.

1:07:45🔗 Adam Well, let me give you my layman's take on this. You're either an amazing genius or really, really stupid.

1:07:53🔗 Drew Do you take any medication?

1:07:55🔗 Gee, I'm neither one of those.

1:07:56🔗 Garry Marshall No.

1:07:57🔗 Drew And do you have any medical problems?

1:07:59🔗 Nope.

1:08:00🔗 Drew Why have you not had this evaluated?

1:08:02🔗 I just kind of, I don't know. It's been one of those things that I just have lived with it, you know, and I've been with it, been that way since I was a kid and just, I just left it that way. Nobody really did anything about it. No, like my parents never brought it up and I just-

1:08:17🔗 Drew Performed poorly at school?

1:08:21🔗 I got by. I could have done much better, but I just got by.

1:08:24🔗 Drew Do you sort of drift into fantasies where you're hearing things or seeing things, anything like that?

1:08:30🔗 No, not necessarily. Just like if I'm reading a book or something and I might like five minutes later think I wasn't even, I wasn't even reading the book.

1:08:38🔗 Drew I understand you have trouble concentrating, but do you actually drift in a sort of altered state or anything? Yes.

1:08:45🔗 Adam What do you do for a living?

1:08:51🔗 Not much right now, but I mean, it sounds bad. I work in an office.

1:08:57🔗 Drew Do you have any problems sleeping?

1:08:59🔗 No, no problems sleeping at all.

1:09:00🔗 Drew You sleep normally?

1:09:01🔗 Yes.

1:09:01🔗 Drew In a normal way, normal?

1:09:03🔗 Yes, everything's normal. I function quite well actually.

1:09:06🔗 Drew You should see a neurologist.

1:09:08🔗 Really?

1:09:08🔗 Drew To know what this is.

1:09:09🔗 Adam Yes, I'm the same way.

1:09:11🔗 Drew Yes, but you should too.

1:09:12🔗 Adam Oh, really?

1:09:14🔗 See, that's what I was thinking. I would pass it off to, okay, it's no big deal, I'm functioning fine, but I know I can do better.

1:09:22🔗 Drew You're not working.

1:09:23🔗 Well, no, no, it doesn't have anything to do with that.

1:09:25🔗 Adam It works. It is a crappy job.

1:09:27🔗 It doesn't have anything to do with that. I'm telling you. I mean, it's a whole big, long thing.

1:09:30🔗 Adam Okay.

1:09:31🔗 I do what I want. Basically, I'm fine.

1:09:34🔗 Adam Okay.

1:09:35🔗 But that doesn't have anything to do with my concentration problem.

1:09:39🔗 Adam Well, listen, I got the same problem. I start reading something, I get two lines into it. I got to go do something else.

1:09:45🔗 Do you walk into a room and just be like, what am I doing here?

1:09:49🔗 Drew You need something called neuropsychiatric testing. There's various sophisticated testing. Thank you. Very sophisticated testing that can be done to try to find exactly what's going on with you. But it is a very complex question to answer that. So I suggest you get it looked into.

1:10:06🔗 Okay. Do I just call a neurosurgeon or neurologist?

1:10:10🔗 Drew Neurologist.

1:10:11🔗 Alright.

1:10:12🔗 Adam Alright. I think everyone does that. Doesn't everyone do that?

1:10:16🔗 Drew Not to the point that it makes it difficult to read, difficult to function in school, difficult to stay at a job. I did not get an answer from him on what he's doing for a living or why.

1:10:24🔗 Adam Well, he didn't want to talk about it. But, you know, I think he's doing okay. Listen, here's the thing, too, everybody. You can train yourself to do a whole bunch of stuff. You really can. I mean, you can be a person that is irresponsible, forgetful, so on and so forth. And you can actually sort of work it out of yourself. You just have to do a few quick and easy sort of exercises and you can do it. I've done it.

1:10:55🔗 Drew You learn to concentrate or?

1:10:59🔗 Adam It's about sort of trying to live in the moment a little bit, focus a little bit. A lot of it is just habit stuff, you know, put your keys in the same place every day, sort of work at stuff a little bit so then you can shut your mind off and move on. You don't have to think about your keys anymore. Some people, they don't do that. I mean, I don't want to get too cathartic here. We're going to break. But here's my thing, Drew. I can't understand why people, while you're on the earth for plenty long time, you can really make a ton of change in a relatively short period of time and you can really do whatever you want. People don't work at it at all. They don't put much time into it at all. And it doesn't take that much time.

1:11:43🔗 Drew It's just a little bit of training. It's got to be now. Easy.

1:11:47🔗 Adam There's little stuff, little stuff you can do. And you can turn into a different person. You absolutely can. And you can keep all the stuff that's good in your life and about your personality. And you can start weeding out the bad stuff, like a big gin rummy hand.

1:12:04🔗 Drew I think we need to have a little card game here. We got to talk. You and I need to have a talk.

1:12:08🔗 Adam We're going to talk.

1:12:09🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:12:09🔗 Adam All right. We'll be back after this. It is Love Line. Phone number, 1-800-L-A-V. Well, it really got the gas going on tonight, Drew. Really just coming out of nowhere. Well, not really nowhere.

1:12:55🔗 Garry Marshall Yes.

1:12:56🔗 Adam Ken.

1:12:56🔗 Yes, sir.

1:12:57🔗 Adam You're 22.

1:12:58🔗 Caller Yes, sir.

1:12:59🔗 Adam What's happening?

1:13:00🔗 Caller Got a quick question for you. All my buddies and actually most of the girls I talk to, they say when a girl eats tomatoes, that it makes their who you think. And I just want to know if that's actually true, because almost everybody that I've talked to, they say the exact same thing, so a little.

1:13:19🔗 Drew They're all putting you up to something.

1:13:21🔗 Caller Well, no.

1:13:21🔗 Drew They got together and said, hey, tell Ken this one joke.

1:13:24🔗 Adam There's a lot of acid in those tomatoes, you know? Right, Drew?

1:13:28🔗 Drew Right.

1:13:29🔗 Adam You know? And there are those ones.

1:13:31🔗 Drew Changes of pH or something?

1:13:33🔗 Adam Called Roma tomatoes and that's very, very close to the word a Roma and it could be cherry tomatoes, cherry popper, cherry tomatoes. And then what's the other tomato?

1:13:45🔗 Drew All kinds of tomato.

1:13:46🔗 Adam Big ass tomato.

1:13:46🔗 Drew Beef steak tomato.

1:13:47🔗 Adam Oh, beef steak. Yeah. Sounds like beef curtain. Yeah. You're right. You're right. There must be a connection here, Tim. I mean, Ken.

1:13:55🔗 Caller So you think that's all a rumor myth?

1:13:58🔗 Drew I know of no connection.

1:14:00🔗 Adam We know of none. And although tomatoes are very high in acid, right?

1:14:05🔗 Drew I don't know that it changes the pH of that special environment.

1:14:08🔗 Adam But you know, that special environment can be changed. You know, like you open the back door to the house, the wind kicks in and the pH is all off the vagina.

1:14:17🔗 Drew That's right. That's why I'm saying I've not heard this, but I'm not dismissing it totally.

1:14:21🔗 Adam What is, does a tomato have more acid in it than an orange?

1:14:27🔗 Drew I don't know that.

1:14:28🔗 Adam It doesn't seem like it, but you know what I mean? They're always talking about there's a high acid level in that tomatoes.

1:14:36🔗 Drew Yeah, I don't know that.

1:14:37🔗 Adam Yeah. I ate myself a tomato tonight, made myself a... I can't remember what I made for dinner.

1:14:45🔗 Drew I never loved a man so much as when I ate dinner at your house. Did you eat?

1:14:48🔗 Adam Oh, I made you some pasta.

1:14:49🔗 Drew Yeah, remember that?

1:14:50🔗 Adam Yeah, what was that?

1:14:51🔗 Drew I don't know what the hell we were doing.

1:14:52🔗 Adam But Drew gets weird with his hunger. Like, I can go a day and a half without eating. I really can. Sometimes I'll get up in the morning, I'll have a cup of coffee and I won't eat until five that afternoon, just not hungry. And then I can sit down and put it away like anybody. But I can go a long time without eating. Long periods of time. Drew gets weird. He's like, I gotta eat and then he'll take a bite out of the furniture or something while he's waiting.

1:15:18🔗 Drew Oh yeah, eat a pillow.

1:15:20🔗 Adam Yeah, and then he starts with this blood sugar and all this other nonsense.

1:15:24🔗 Drew I don't know. I don't give a...

1:15:25🔗 Adam You start talking about, I don't know, you worked out or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Drew came over for... Drew had about eight minutes at my house. I made him a whole plate of pasta and he just sucked the whole thing down. What was that? Pasta and vegetables or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That did a very nice... I should light a candle.

1:15:46🔗 Drew Rob? I was afraid of what you were going to do to me afterwards.

1:15:48🔗 Yeah.

1:15:48🔗 Adam You're 18.

1:15:50🔗 Caller Yes.

1:15:51🔗 Adam What's happening?

1:15:53🔗 Caller I was curious as to if there's any long-term effects from using a cock ring.

1:16:00🔗 Adam Any, like does it damage the arteries or something?

1:16:03🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:16:04🔗 Drew I don't know.

1:16:05🔗 Adam It depends how big the ring is.

1:16:07🔗 Drew Yeah, I imagine it could.

1:16:09🔗 Caller Really? Yeah.

1:16:10🔗 Drew Why? Something happened to you?

1:16:12🔗 Caller No, I just like, I got one and I thought it'd be fun to try, but I was just curious.

1:16:19🔗 Adam Is it the flexible kind?

1:16:21🔗 Caller No.

1:16:22🔗 Caller It's steel.

1:16:23🔗 Adam It's steel?

1:16:24🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:16:25🔗 Adam Yeah. And can you get your penis through it when it's erect or do you have to put it through and then get your penis erect?

1:16:33🔗 Caller You have to put it on before.

1:16:35🔗 Adam Right. Then you get your penis erect and then the idea is the thing kind of keeps the blood there.

1:16:42🔗 Drew Right. Yeah. And it actually increases the pressure inside by increasing the pressure on the outflow.

1:16:49🔗 Adam Right. Do you have any problem that would necessitate something like that?

1:16:54🔗 Caller No. No. I just thought it like it's supposed to up the like sensitivity of it too.

1:17:01🔗 Adam I gotta get one of those. All right, Rob. Yeah. I don't know. I would imagine that if you did it long term, it wouldn't be good.

1:17:10🔗 Caller Okay.

1:17:10🔗 Drew I would agree.

1:17:11🔗 Adam But you want to just try it once and press your gay lover. Fine.

1:17:15🔗 Caller Hey, that's cheap, dude.

1:17:17🔗 No.

1:17:18🔗 Adam No problem at all. I, uh, you know, if I got the cock ring, Drew, I'd get the one with the vertical stripes. May my penis look longer. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

1:17:29🔗 Drew Put it next to the snow globe.

1:17:31🔗 Adam Yes. He has to take over the whole town. That's right. Mark.

1:17:37🔗 Caller Yes. How's it going?

1:17:38🔗 Adam You're 20. Good.

1:17:39🔗 Caller All right. I was back on a show with Angelica Bridges on NPV a while back in my prom back then.

1:17:44🔗 Adam Sure, Mark. Yeah.

1:17:46🔗 Caller I could get an erection, but I couldn't finish and it would die down and it was just like in climax. All right. Well, now recently, it's gone to the point to where I can't even get it up and I mean, I just won't go near girls because I'm afraid I get to that point to where I might go to bed. But I know that I can't get up. I mean, I can't even spank it.

1:18:07🔗 Drew Do you wake up in the morning? Do you have erections?

1:18:09🔗 Caller None. None.

1:18:10🔗 Drew Have you seen a doctor?

1:18:12🔗 Caller No. I was wondering if there's any like cure or anything I could try without going to a doctor.

1:18:17🔗 Drew Mark, you need a diagnosis first. I mean, this could be diabetes, could be thyroid disease, could be neuropathy. I mean, could be any, almost any disease you can name can manifest like this.

1:18:29🔗 Adam Yeah. For a 20 year old guy to not be able to even masturbate, this sounds like there's a medical problem.

1:18:36🔗 Drew The fact that he's not even having nocturnal erections means that there's a medical problem. You must get this evaluated, Mark.

1:18:43🔗 Adam I peed my bed last night.

1:18:44🔗 Drew No way.

1:18:45🔗 Adam Yes.

1:18:46🔗 Drew Yes.

1:18:46🔗 Caller No way.

1:18:48🔗 Adam It wasn't last night, it was this morning.

1:18:51🔗 Drew Did you really unload or just sort of start going, I won't go?

1:18:53🔗 Caller I unloaded.

1:18:54🔗 Adam I didn't.

1:18:55🔗 Drew What was the dream?

1:18:56🔗 Adam I was starting to cramp when I woke up. I put it that way. I was done with the peeing. I like peed, masturbated, gave up a pint of blood and was beginning to go number two when I woke up.

1:19:07🔗 Drew You were not.

1:19:07🔗 Adam No, I wasn't, but I was completely done with the urination as far as I could tell.

1:19:12🔗 Drew What was the dream?

1:19:13🔗 Adam I have no idea.

1:19:14🔗 Drew You weren't even like standing up and urinating in the dream or anything.

1:19:17🔗 Adam No, I usually am. Yeah. This was I have no idea. I don't know how any of this works. The night before, I got like ten hour sleep. I mean, I had a real long, like six months and I had been getting no sleep for a long time and I really slept in Sunday. Man, I mean, I just I was in bed till noon. I just laid there. And last night, Sunday night, went to bed. I went to bed like 2, 2 15 or something. And for some reason, like 7 45 in the morning, I was totally out of it, like deep asleep, like gone, like drugged, you know. And I just woke up. I just peed all over myself. Like some kind of old person in a hospital, you know, it's embarrassing. Thank God.

1:20:12🔗 Drew What did your fiance say?

1:20:15🔗 Adam Lynette, she got up and went to the gym in the morning.

1:20:19🔗 Drew So she missed the whole episode.

1:20:20🔗 Adam She missed the whole thing.

1:20:20🔗 Drew How did you hide it? You'd throw the sheets in the laundry and flip the...

1:20:25🔗 Adam No, no, I guess I should have done that. Yeah, I didn't make a move with that stuff. Yeah, the comforter got most of it. I was on my back for some reason. I was wearing underpants too, thank God. That soaked up a lot of it and then the comforter got the rest and I figured out, well, I'll just flip over the other side of the bed there. I didn't even take the underpants off, I just turned them around.

1:20:44🔗 Drew Well, you're actually getting some real deep sleep going.

1:20:47🔗 Adam Oh man. Yeah. I don't, I'm normally, I sleep like, you walk in the room, I wake up, I mean, a car goes by, I get up, so I was long gone. I don't know why, if I went to bed at 2.15 at night at 7.45 in the morning, I was that far gone. Yeah, the sun was out and everything.

1:21:05🔗 Drew How long have you been engaged now? How long have you been engaged now?

1:21:10🔗 Adam Let's say about four months.

1:21:13🔗 Drew It was about four months. There was a date coming up.

1:21:15🔗 Caller Huh?

1:21:16🔗 Drew Setting a date to set a date.

1:21:18🔗 Adam Marriage?

1:21:18🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:21:19🔗 Adam Yeah, you know.

1:21:19🔗 Drew It's usually with the fiance.

1:21:20🔗 Adam Kicking around some dates, you know.

1:21:22🔗 Drew Like what?

1:21:23🔗 Adam Oh, she can like probably like early fall 2014, something like that.

1:21:30🔗 Drew Long as you're setting a date.

1:21:31🔗 Adam Yeah, just working on that.

1:21:32🔗 Drew I think long engagements are good.

1:21:34🔗 Adam Trying to get a band together, you know, trying to. I told her unless Skinnerd played, we weren't getting married. As it turns out, a couple of guys died.

1:21:43🔗 Garry Marshall Oh, shoot.

1:21:44🔗 Adam Yeah, we're in trouble. OK, thanks for busting the balls there, though, Drew.

1:21:48🔗 Drew Hey, look at this coming back.

1:21:49🔗 Adam Coming back. Oh, Joel has a great triumphant cock ring story. We can look forward to that after this.

1:22:16🔗 Caller It's Love Line.

1:22:30🔗 Adam May not be the right word. Hey, I appreciate in their own way, even though they don't know it. No, all right, tell me something. It is Loveline. I'm Adam, that is Drew. We're just having a little conversation off the air. I miss Drew. I miss us. You know what I mean?

1:22:44🔗 Drew I just was thinking very wistfully about that evening with the pasta. It was quite a moment.

1:22:49🔗 Adam Yeah. Was I already cooking the food when you showed up?

1:22:54🔗 Drew I think, no, I think you showed me everything. You had to go through it all with me and show me all the care you took in every step.

1:22:59🔗 Adam Drew came over.

1:23:00🔗 Drew And you left me for Jimmy.

1:23:01🔗 Adam He was starving.

1:23:02🔗 Drew In the GD. Man show. And now look, you get those weird gifts and things from my producers.

1:23:07🔗 Adam That's right. That's right. You get the popcorn of the world's tin and I got the DVD player. Joel.

1:23:14🔗 Caller Yo, what's up, guys?

1:23:15🔗 Hey.

1:23:16🔗 Caller How's it going?

1:23:17🔗 Adam Good.

1:23:18🔗 Caller All right. I work in a hospital. This guy comes into the ER screaming, screaming, holding his, you know, Johnson. He's got an ivory cock ring. Okay. His penis is so swollen that the skin was actually coming around the cock ring. Like if he was wearing a ring that was too tight, doctors could not get this thing off. It was already like two hours this thing was on.

1:23:49🔗 Adam Why? In that kind of excruciating pain, how come the penis doesn't just sort of deflate?

1:23:57🔗 Drew Oh, because it can't. That's the whole point. The blood can't get out.

1:24:00🔗 Adam I know, but the ring, you know what I'm saying, Drew? I mean, the ring is tight on the penis, but it's not so small that you can't get the thing on in the first place. It is not as big as your finger, Drew.

1:24:11🔗 Drew No, I'm just thinking if you squeeze tightly, the arterial pressure keeps going in, but nothing comes out. Really? Just a net positive in the balloon.

1:24:20🔗 Adam And it can never escape.

1:24:23🔗 Drew You have to have a way to reduce that pressure at the outflow.

1:24:25🔗 Adam Right.

1:24:26🔗 Drew To release, because the arterial pressure ain't going anywhere.

1:24:29🔗 Adam Right. I mean, the arterial pressure is a constant.

1:24:33🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:24:33🔗 Adam You don't necessarily have to have an erection to have that. No. Just once you have the erection.

1:24:39🔗 Drew The outflow blocks.

1:24:40🔗 Adam The outflow is blocked, although there's still space in the outflow.

1:24:44🔗 Drew Yeah. But it's a pressure issue.

1:24:46🔗 Adam Right.

1:24:46🔗 Drew Just inflow-outflow.

1:24:48🔗 Adam Interesting. I'm going to have to experiment with that on the way home. I'll use my key chain, of course. I'm not buying a concrete.

1:24:55🔗 Drew Did they succeed in getting it off?

1:24:56🔗 Caller Well, eventually they ended up, they didn't know what to do, so they called in a dental surgeon and with a very fine drill, they drilled through it and they ended up getting it off. But in another 10, 15 minutes, he would have lost it.

1:25:16🔗 Adam That's all. It's bizarre as a doctor where you're working that closely with an erect penis. I mean, doctors used to handling junk, but not in that state, right? Yeah.

1:25:28🔗 Drew Oh, no, I've seen, I have one guy, I have one guy who had a through and through bullet wound in that area. And in fact, he came, went in his buttock, went out his penis and the whole area swelled up like that.

1:25:38🔗 Adam Oh, really?

1:25:38🔗 Drew Cause he went through the artery. So this was a different thing where the inflow was increased.

1:25:42🔗 Adam Wait a minute, guy gets shot in the ass, bullet goes in the ass.

1:25:46🔗 Drew Comes out the penis.

1:25:48🔗 Adam What do you mean, out the penis?

1:25:50🔗 Drew It like ricocheted off his pelvis and came out the penis.

1:25:53🔗 Adam Across his penis.

1:25:55🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:25:55🔗 Adam To go down his penis.

1:25:57🔗 Drew No, across. It was sort of like...

1:25:59🔗 Adam Yeah, right. Yeah, I see.

1:26:01🔗 Drew And it hit an artery.

1:26:03🔗 Adam Right. And so the penis was blown up, so it was erect?

1:26:06🔗 Drew More than that. Like it was going to explode.

1:26:08🔗 Adam Oh, really? Why doesn't she get shot in the ass every once in a while? And what did you do to it?

1:26:14🔗 Drew They had to take it off, they had to take it back and put the whole thing back together, repair everything, repair the artery, repair the cavernous.

1:26:20🔗 Adam Oh, see, getting shot in the ass. It's real funny in one of those Don Knotts films. That's so funny in real life.

1:26:25🔗 Drew And the guy Joel's talking about probably will not have a normally functioning penis. In spite of him having preserved it, it's not going to work quite the way it's supposed to.

1:26:34🔗 Adam I got to tell you, I would have got my, I got enough tools at home, I would have got my schlong right out of that. It was an ivory one?

1:26:41🔗 Caller Yeah, it was ivory.

1:26:43🔗 Adam Yeah, I could have got that off.

1:26:45🔗 Caller Hey Adam, last week I cut my index finger in half on my first model airplane.

1:26:50🔗 Adam Oh really?

1:26:51🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:26:52🔗 Adam In half?

1:26:53🔗 Caller Yeah, well, it's still pretty much there, but the skin was like all pulled back, bone totally exposed.

1:26:59🔗 Adam Oh, that'll like that. Are you using an X-Acto or something?

1:27:03🔗 Caller No, on the propeller.

1:27:05🔗 Adam Oh yeah, yeah, it's pretty nutty.

1:27:07🔗 Caller Yeah, first time I started her up, I haven't even flown her yet.

1:27:10🔗 Adam Is it a remote control plan?

1:27:12🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:27:13🔗 Adam And what kind?

1:27:14🔗 Caller It's the Cadet 40.

1:27:16🔗 Adam Oh yeah, yeah, that's like a trainer.

1:27:19🔗 Caller Yeah, yeah, that's my first one.

1:27:21🔗 Adam Yeah, be careful.

1:27:22🔗 Caller I'll try.

1:27:23🔗 Adam Things crazy. Yeah, I'm surprised that more people don't get hurt that way. Things like a razor blade, it goes a million miles an hour. All right, where the hell were we here, Drew?

1:27:32🔗 Caller Five.

1:27:33🔗 Adam I like weaving a little model airplane talk into the program. Justin.

1:27:38🔗 Hey, how's it going?

1:27:39🔗 Adam You're 23.

1:27:40🔗 Caller I sure am.

1:27:41🔗 Adam What's happening?

1:27:42🔗 Caller Well, I actually had a question for Drew, just for a little background for you. I've been smoking pot daily probably for the past five years or so. My family's got a history of manic depression, all that stuff, and I have a couple siblings who have been taking various antidepressants and that stuff.

1:27:57🔗 Drew Let me stop you. Usually, when people smoke pot every day for a few years, it stops working after a while.

1:28:05🔗 Caller I don't do it all day every day when I get off work.

1:28:08🔗 Drew But usually, most people switch to something else when it stops working.

1:28:11🔗 Caller That's what the call is about, really, you know.

1:28:12🔗 Drew What did you switch to?

1:28:14🔗 Caller Heroin. The last five months, I've been smoking, I guess, what's called black tar heroin. It was introduced to me as opium, and I don't know, by the time I figured out what was going on, it's kind of been too late. But I've been trying to wean myself off of it, and...

1:28:30🔗 Garry Marshall That won't work.

1:28:31🔗 Caller That won't work? I'm just trying to diminish the amount I'm taking in there. I'm still not doing it all day. Just usually when I get off work, I'll...

1:28:39🔗 Drew Justin, you're a heroin addict. It has to be treated.

1:28:41🔗 Caller Yeah, I know.

1:28:42🔗 Drew There are no options.

1:28:43🔗 Caller Really? What to do? I've heard just horror stories about, like, methadone and how you have to keep doing that for the rest of your life.

1:28:48🔗 Drew Yeah. So go get treatment.

1:28:49🔗 Adam You can't smoke methadone either, can you?

1:28:51🔗 Drew No. Go get treatment. Have you off the drug in three to four days, and you're going to have to participate in a recovery program. You have altered a physiologic property of the brain that is involved with survival mechanisms that is going to create a drive and a pursuit of that drug. It ain't going away. And once you're detoxed, you're going to feel like crap. You're going to think about that drug all the time. And something has to be done. You have to engage in some treatment process for a long time in order for that to be successfully remitted.

1:29:22🔗 Adam It came up the new invention, Drew. Metharats. It's for the people who go through the heroin withdrawal who smoke heroin. And they cannot take the methadone the way it was planned in the liquid form. They're used to smoking their drug of choice.

1:29:39🔗 Drew Sure.

1:29:40🔗 Adam Metharat.

1:29:40🔗 Drew Yeah, like a methadone patch.

1:29:42🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:29:43🔗 Drew And meth-toes, like mentos.

1:29:45🔗 Adam Ooh, meth-toes. Nice. Every once in a while, Drew comes up with a good idea. It's usually loosely based on an idea I came up just before his, but it's still his own. I'll give you partial credit for that. And is smoking, Drew, and don't give me that just as bad stuff, what would you want your kids doing? Smoking it or shooting it, in terms of addiction?

1:30:08🔗 Drew It is not a lot different, but the higher the dose, the more intense the addiction. So shooting it is worse. But it's surprising how little difference there is.

1:30:18🔗 Adam Really?

1:30:19🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:30:19🔗 Adam Smoking it. You get the same heroin high when you smoke it? I'm going to smoke some of that.

1:30:27🔗 Garry Marshall All right.

1:30:29🔗 Adam Elizabeth?

1:30:30🔗 Caller Hey.

1:30:31🔗 Adam Hey.

1:30:31🔗 Caller All right. Can I say something real quick about the caller yesterday about how her best friend's boyfriend is going to kill her if she talks about it? All right. You know, I just had an idea. Why wouldn't she tell them that it's okay if they come to the basement to have the kid or something and then call the cops while she's having it?

1:30:49🔗 Drew Interesting idea. Except the guy is going to kill her if she... That was the problem.

1:30:53🔗 Caller Well, the cops are there.

1:30:54🔗 Caller I mean, I don't know.

1:30:56🔗 Drew They got out in six months and come kill her.

1:30:57🔗 Adam Well, they were going to... His plan was he was going to take her somewhere to have the kid.

1:31:02🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:31:03🔗 Caller Well, she found out where.

1:31:04🔗 Caller She just called the cops on me, like, go over there.

1:31:06🔗 Adam Yeah, but they wouldn't know where. She'd just take her to the car and start driving.

1:31:10🔗 Caller Oh, okay. Well, my question is, my best friend, she's 17, too, and has a 12-year-old sister and her sister's pregnant. And her boyfriend's, like, early 20s.

1:31:20🔗 Adam But, of course, the 12-year-old that's pregnant?

1:31:23🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:31:23🔗 Drew Is somebody going to arrest the 20-year-old?

1:31:26🔗 Caller No, this is the story. Okay.

1:31:28🔗 Caller 12-year-old is pregnant?

1:31:29🔗 Caller Her parents are going to take care of the kid until she's 18.

1:31:32🔗 Drew Who is?

1:31:33🔗 Caller They want her to adopt a kid, but now they can't, because they got to raise this one.

1:31:37🔗 Caller So, she's 18, then they're going to give it to her.

1:31:39🔗 Caller And I was wondering, how healthy can the baby be if?

1:31:43🔗 Drew Emotionally? Emotionally?

1:31:44🔗 Caller No, just physically and stuff.

1:31:46🔗 Caller I mean, how is she going to breastfeed the kid, you know?

1:31:49🔗 Drew Physically, it needn't, it can be fine.

1:31:52🔗 Adam Can you, hey, let me ask you, that's an interesting question you bring up, Elizabeth, which is, can anybody who is physiologically capable of having a child also be capable of breastfeeding?

1:32:06🔗 Drew Yes.

1:32:07🔗 Adam So, if the stuff's there.

1:32:09🔗 Drew It's there.

1:32:10🔗 Adam It's there. So, if you can get pregnant at 11 and a half, you can breastfeed at 12 and a quarter when the kid's born, right?

1:32:20🔗 Caller Oh, boy.

1:32:22🔗 Drew But, emotionally, this child's in for a world of trouble. I mean, why won't they let them adopt it out to some other family that really is ready for this child?

1:32:30🔗 Caller Because they're fine with having it. They wanted to adopt the kid before all this happened anyway.

1:32:34🔗 Drew Who is they?

1:32:35🔗 Caller They figured, hey, why don't we?

1:32:36🔗 Adam It's the parents.

1:32:37🔗 Drew The parents? It's the parents that created the 12-year-old, mind you.

1:32:41🔗 Adam Yeah, what's up with the parents? They got a 12-year-old that was hooking up with a 20-some-odd-year-old.

1:32:45🔗 Drew And they're not having the guy put in jail?

1:32:48🔗 Caller No. The guy is okay with it, too, because he figures, hell, the parents are going to raise it till like seven or something, and then he'll be involved in the kid's life.

1:32:57🔗 Adam Yeah. He ought to just be getting paroled by then. So it should all be hunky-dory. Yeah, what is... I know you don't know, Elizabeth, but we question the judgment and sanity of parents who would let their 12-year-old date a 20-some-odd-year-old.

1:33:16🔗 Caller Well, they didn't know.

1:33:17🔗 Caller And by the time they found out, it was a little too late.

1:33:19🔗 Drew Well, then go ahead and put him in jail now. Go ahead.

1:33:21🔗 Adam Yeah, you should now be outraged and consider this person a criminal, which he is, and have him prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

1:33:29🔗 Caller Yeah, I know.

1:33:30🔗 Caller I know they're screwed up.

1:33:31🔗 Caller I know.

1:33:31🔗 Adam Yeah, they're real screwed up.

1:33:32🔗 Drew Real. Total f-ing mess.

1:33:35🔗 Adam And your 12-year-old shouldn't think it's a good idea to date a 20-some-odd-year-old unless you screw them up either.

1:33:40🔗 Drew And the parents shouldn't think, how bizarre is it to think, well, we'll just raise a little child six and then hand off.

1:33:46🔗 Adam Well, we wanted one anyway.

1:33:47🔗 Drew Yeah, let's just hand it off. Of course, she's halfway to a womanhood of six.

1:33:51🔗 Adam Hey, Elizabeth.

1:33:52🔗 Drew She could have another 12-year-old having a kid six years later.

1:33:56🔗 Adam Don't spend a lot of time at this house. Okay. I'm telling you. You know, here's what you don't know, Elizabeth, and I'm here to tell you, because I'm one of your adult friends. I know you don't think you can talk to many, but I'm one you can talk to. And I'm talking to everyone when I say this. When you're 16, when you're 14, when you're 9, when you're whatever, you look up to a lot of folks. You look up to a lot of folks that you shouldn't look up to. These people, some of them are just losers, others are complete idiots, and they're some that are actually dangerous and criminals. Not everyone over 19 is smart. Not all adults are mature, and they don't all mean you well, and whatever they say shouldn't necessarily go. There's plenty of idiots out there, believe me. And the problem is, is you're 14 and you don't know it. Trust your instincts. You're smarter, more healthy than these people are at the tender age of 17. You really are, Elizabeth. And don't listen to them. Don't go camping with them. Don't go over their house. Okay, we'll take a break.

1:35:20🔗 Caller Oh, yeah, right there.

1:35:21🔗 It's Loveline on WEBN.

1:35:42🔗 Drew It's diabolical.

1:35:44🔗 Adam I'm not even done with this. This is good.

1:35:46🔗 Drew I like this.

1:35:47🔗 Adam Alright, I'm just going to explain a little relationship strategy to Dr. Drew. We'll take ourselves a 22-hour break. I want to thank Garry Marshall for coming in here. Great guy, perfect gentleman. Everyone go out and see Runaway Bride, the Runaway hit from last week, number one at the box office. And until next time, this is Adam Crow for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
