15:16🔗AdamIt is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-191, fax number 310-854-4455. Dr. Drew is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Next week we got Donny Osmond and Dave Navarro coming in here, Our Lady Peace and a few other people. Tonight, we have some of the cast and some of the, well, one of the directors, the only director of Being John Malkovich. That would be Spike Jones and Orson Bean and Catherine Keener in here tonight. Now, before we get started on this, I was saying this last night, I was watching, I guess it's still called At the Movies, the Roger Ebert thing and Sunday night, he was just raving about this movie. He said he thought it was going to be up there for the best picture of the year. I guess you guys saw that. Lean up, speak into the mics. Did you see that Sunday night?
16:18🔗GuestNo, I heard about it though, but this is Spike and I heard about it, but I don't know, that's pretty interesting.
16:54🔗AdamI don't think Bruce would have minded that, actually. We've met Bruce. Bruce described, Dr. Drew when we met Bruce Valanche, by the way, who you may know from the Hollywood Squares, he described him as Linda Tripp as Santa Claus.
17:11🔗GuestBruce Valanche is the new, what was the guy that was in the middle thing in the old days, and the one who talked like that?
17:20🔗GuestAnd Paul Lin would always have a great thing to say. And one time, I remember they said to Paul Lin, we have a question for Paul Lin, what is a pullet? And he thought for a minute, he said, a little show of affection.
17:33🔗AdamYeah, except for the writers thought for an hour before Paul Lin thought for a minute. But we don't want to give away any trade secrets. And of course, Drew and I were trying to figure out when the last time or where we knew Orson Bean from the most from our childhood, and it was to tell the truth, right? Yeah.
17:53🔗AdamWell, Orson is also director, a writer, a raconteur, and an actor, and so let's talk about this movie. It's in wide release, coming November 19th, and it's in a... When is that, by the way? What's the date today?
18:20🔗GuestBut it's out, also, it's already out right now in a lot of places, and it comes out in a lot of places on Friday.
18:26🔗GuestAre they hearing this as bad as we're hearing ourselves? Or is it just me? Do I need my pills or am I... Oh, the button. All right.
18:34🔗AdamYou got it? Now, when, Spike, when did you become involved with this project?
18:41🔗GuestAbout, I don't know, three and a half years ago I first read it, and it was written by a guy named Charlie Kaufman, who lives somewhere near Altadena, Pasadena region.
18:55🔗AdamThat's Drew's turf. And you're obviously, you've been doing videos and commercials and you're looking for a feature to do?
19:04🔗AdamAnd at first when you heard the idea, were you scared of it or did you think it was bizarre?
19:10🔗GuestNo, when I first heard the, read the script, I opened the script and said, Being John Malkovich, and I was like, oh, that's a good title. And I didn't really think it would have anything to do with John Malkovich. I just thought it was a good title. Right. Lo and behold, I got into it and I discovered that, the puppeteer finds a portal into John Malkovich and...
19:32🔗AdamOriginally, they were going to go with Fred Grandy from The Love Boat.
19:42🔗AdamFred turned it down. He's trying to live down that whole image. Oh, so I really have no idea what the movie is about other than it's good, it's a comedy and it's about a porthole. Well maybe I do know what it's about. There's the seventh and a half floor in an office building. A guy finds a hatch, he goes through it and when he enters that hatch, he is in John Malkovich's head, right?
20:07🔗GuestIt doesn't matter what it's about. You're better off not knowing what it's about. It's already going into the language. In today's New York Times, Maureen Dowd, who is probably the top political columnist in the country, makes a reference to it that Gore's support staff is as wacky as going into John Malkovich's head. I mean, it's already going into the language.
20:28🔗AdamAnd did, I guess, Malkovich, I mean, this is the way to get a big guy like that to do a movie, right? I mean, was he flattered? I mean, don't you have to be in it if your name's in the title? Could he have said, I don't want my name on the title and I'm not doing it?
20:45🔗GuestWell, only if he would have wanted us stalking him for the next ten years.
20:51🔗DrewDid he like the script when he first read it?
20:53🔗GuestYeah, he thought it was really funny and thought it was smart and, you know, thought the writing was really good and thought it was hilarious.
21:06🔗DrewI don't know how he was portrayed in the movie, but no, he's not.
21:08🔗Well, I don't know if he's right about him. I think it's just basically what he thinks that he might be like or what people think John might be like.
21:22🔗AdamThat's always my theory. My theory is the guys that play sort of bizarre guys and crazy guys on film are basically not acting. He is not acting, right? He's just a bizarre guy?
21:32🔗GuestHe's the kind of a guy that could pick the homicidal maniac to kill you and your whole family. It would be John.
21:39🔗AdamYeah. As a matter of fact, when there's trouble, they look for John Malkovich.
21:45🔗He's pretty, actually, pretty, probably as normal as he is.
21:59🔗AdamAnd you know what? I can't figure out about crazy guys, though. We always ask us about David Arquette because he's been on the show a bunch of times.
22:07🔗AdamHe's crazy. Yeah, he's the nicest guy in the world, but he's nuts. And he's talented, but he's nuts. And I always wonder after speaking with him, how he shows up on the set, memorizes his lines, does his scene.
22:22🔗AdamPlays a small town sheriff, comes back the next day, finishes the movie. How does he do it? And when you talk to him, you wonder if the guy can find the toilet in the four minutes that we have for the commercial here.
22:35🔗DrewI really hope that he doesn't just take this.
22:37🔗AdamNo, he knows the way I mean this. He's nuts. What's he going to do with this information? He can't find the studio. I don't know where his car keys are.
22:45🔗GuestIt's like Papka Cannon said about Hitler. He's not such a bad person.
23:02🔗CallerYeah. No problem. Okay. I'm a receptionist at an architecture firm, and I collect calls, do the usual stuff, collect mail, and I bring it to everyone's desk. In the last several weeks, I've been catching, there are two owners, two partners at the firm, and I've caught one of them surfing the net, looking at pornography on the screen, and it just really bothers me, and I don't know what to do. It bothers me, it distracts me.
23:36🔗CallerIn his office during office hours, and he does it when the other partner is...
23:41🔗AdamWell, what's he gonna do, break into his own office so he can look at some internet porn at four in the morning? Well, of course it's office hours. All right, it's his office, though.
23:50🔗CallerYeah, but it's an open office. It's more like a cubicle.
23:54🔗DrewWhat is it that troubles you? What is the feeling?
23:56🔗AdamDoes he sort of present it to you, or do you just sort of hamper upon it?
24:02🔗CallerWell, the first time I caught him, he quickly switched over to a drawing that he was working on.
24:58🔗DrewThank God you're not wearing jeans tonight.
24:59🔗AdamYou lose an eyebrow. It's not going to be so funny.
25:02🔗DrewKathy, what is the feeling you get? Why is this personally an issue for you?
25:08🔗CallerWell, it's just, you know, I have this... I can talk to him. He's my boss.
25:13🔗AdamNo, no, no. Listen, Kathy, here's what we're asking. We talk to people that have this problem. People that don't have a specific or person... It's personal for you. Why is it personal for you? Most people wouldn't care. They'd walk in, then they'd walk back, and that'd be it. Why is this personal for you?
26:14🔗DrewHe switched it off. She's right. You need to ask him to be respectful of the work environment, and he needs to be.
26:20🔗CallerI actually confronted the other partner, and you know what he said? He said, you know, oh, geez, you know, I can't believe he's doing this, but I don't know what to do about it, so I'm not going to do anything about it.
26:31🔗AdamAll right. Well, that's it. Listen, you're receptionist, right? Yeah.
26:41🔗AdamYes, just quit. Don't sue anybody. If you can't handle it, quit. I'm sorry for the tough love, but I'm tired of this. I really am. Everybody's got it. You know, a guy's got a poster of a chicken, a bikini hanging in his office behind his desk. He's got to take it down because somebody walked past it. I'm just tired of it. You know, you own your own business, you run your own business, you buy your computers, you buy the phones, you lease the office space, you want to look at a little porn. That's your business. The receptionist is getting 650 an hour. She doesn't like it. She's been there for three months. She can go down the street and go work somewhere else.
27:12🔗GuestIt's not like he's showing the pony and the nun on widescreen.
27:15🔗AdamRight. It's not as if he's called everyone in to gather around the computer to see what he's pulled up. I agree there's limits. I don't think the guy should be turning the computer toward the hall or asking her to come in here and look at something. But if she walks in, he's looking at something and he flicks it over, it's his business.
27:33🔗DrewYou know, there's some data on sexual harassment.
27:34🔗AdamAnd she's up tight and we can hear it in her voice.
27:36🔗DrewYeah, there's something going on with her. But overt sexual harassment, it's interesting. I didn't realize this, but it has a very high probability of both people, the harasser and the harrassee, being abused sexually.
28:06🔗CallerMy question is, well, I'm supposed to start my period on the 18th, and it's the third I haven't. I've taken two home pregnancy tests, and they've both come out negative. And I just kind of wanted to get an educated opinion before I went to the doctor. I don't have insurance right now, and I really don't have, like, any money to spend at all.
28:52🔗AdamSo the contraception. Let me clarify something when Drew asked, did you use contraception question? It's not ever in your life, or what did you use when you're in the Navy? It's two weeks ago when the guy was on top of you. Was there anything covering his penis?
29:08🔗DrewOr are you on the pill or something that might be?
29:10🔗CallerNo, I'm not on the pill or anything. I'm saying most of the time we use condoms, sometimes we don't.
29:13🔗DrewAll right. So 14 days ago was your last contact?
29:37🔗AdamWell, wait a minute. They don't say you can use it the first day, do they?
29:41🔗CallerNo, they do. I have the box right here. It says you can use it as soon as your first, the first day you've missed your period. It says easy to read.
29:51🔗AdamIs there a disclaimer about not being responsible if you pee on your hand?
31:33🔗AdamOh my god. You know, once in a while when I'm talking about somebody, it always flashes through my mind. Maybe they're listening or someone's going to rat me out. Then I think, nah, no one listens. They're home watching TV. Oh, David, okay. So David, just let me clarify. I said he was talented, didn't I?
32:08🔗AdamOh, my God. Wow. I had, Drew, they kicked me next time I started talking about somebody. David, what were you doing? Were you out driving around?
32:17🔗I was driving. I flipped the station on and I heard my name. And I was like, whoa, shocked me. And then I heard the fine things you had to say about me.
32:42🔗AdamAmazing, amazing talent. All right. Listen, I got to, we should take a break. We'll break a few seconds early. I got to catch my breath here. And I have to, I have to hug David. So hold on a second. Veronica, you go hug him. We're good. We're good with her.
33:01🔗AdamAll right. We got the cast from Being John Malkovich here. David Arquette's got to kick my ass in the parking lot. I'll be right back after this.
33:09🔗CallerLoveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Back in a minute.
33:40🔗AdamHey, Drew, stop the outside conversation, please. The show has begun. It is Loveline, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. We have some of the cast and crew from Being John Malkovich, which would be Catherine Keener, Orson Bean, and Spike Jonze. David Arquette played the part of David Arquette in a lovely cameo. I'm trying to think of who else. I think that Jerry Seinfeld's an insane person. And anyone who's listening to me can tell him. And he knows where to find me.
34:13🔗DrewI thought you were going to pick one of the women you're trying to find.
34:29🔗AdamAll right. So, boy, that was interesting. For those of you who missed out on what happened, I was talking lovingly about David Arquette's insanity at the top of the show, and he burst in. And that's why you got to get your chair closer to the door, Drew, in case there's trouble. All right. Being John Malkovich will be in wide release on the 19th of November. It's already starting to spread out, I guess, in New York, Chicago, LA., all the hip places, but it's getting rave reviews.
35:02🔗AdamRight. Getting raves. Everything I've heard about has just been spectacular. All right. So, Drew, are you ready to go here? Jason, you're 26. What's up?
35:16🔗CallerI just recently got engaged, and for about the past couple months, I've been engaging in phone sex, and...
35:41🔗DrewWell, she might be able to stir it by, but what is it that's compelling all this, do you think? It's something you've never done before, and all of a sudden you get engaged, and boom, you get compulsive about it.
35:51🔗AdamMaybe he feels a little pressure. He wants to sort of sow his wild oats over the phone.
36:03🔗CallerYeah. I mean, is this a bad thing for me to be doing?
36:07🔗DrewIt's not. I wouldn't put a value judgment on it, but it means something, and it worries me about your decision to get married that, having made that decision, you all of a sudden have feelings you can't manage.
36:17🔗AdamAre you dealing with the same girl over and over again, or is it a variety?
36:22🔗CallerIt's a variety, and occasionally the same woman.
36:26🔗AdamHow do you find the same one? You just ask for it?
36:29🔗CallerI can tell by the sound of their voice or the message that they're leaving on the talk line.
36:35🔗AdamAnd how's it, you know what, I've never, as big a pervert as I am and as big a fan as I am of pornography, and objectifying women, I've never called one of these numbers ever. I called a romance in espanol once just for kicks at my boss' office, just to screw with him a little bit, but I've never called one of these things. I don't really know how they work.
37:00🔗CallerIt's not advertised as a phone sex line. It's like a Live Links type thing.
37:09🔗CallerYeah, I mean, there's women on there that are like high looking for a nice guy, and then there's women that are like high looking to get off.
37:15🔗GuestBut it all turns into managia uno, doesn't it?
37:20🔗AdamYeah. How long does that take you? I mean, how much money are you spending?
37:24🔗CallerYou buy blocks of time, like 100 minutes for $49.
37:30🔗AdamThat sounds reasonable. 100 minutes. Hold on, let me do some math there. Seventy five, eighty times. I could have myself. At least that was my high school record. I don't know what I'm at now. Probably probably mid sixties. I'd imagine. All right. Well, Jason, think what a bargainer would be for me. Jason. Yes. All right. So why don't you see if you can stop doing this then?
37:57🔗DrewAnd you're only you're 26 years old. Maybe marriage isn't something you're really ready for. Maybe you feel a little cornered by all this. Just study the feelings that are perhaps motivating you to look for this kind of an escape. But it doesn't sound like something you feel good about, something you wanted to control. And you yourself equate it with I just got engaged.
38:15🔗AdamLet me ask our celebrity panel a question. Now, this isn't I don't really look at this as cheating per se. But do you think it's sort of a slippery slope? Like you do the phone sex for a while and then you move on. Then you hit the massage parlor. Then you get the girlfriend, Catherine. Come on, lean up. Talking to that mic. What if your husband or your boyfriend was engaging in this? Would you look at it as cheating?
38:43🔗AdamBecause he's having a sort of intimate experience with somebody?
38:46🔗Yeah, I think that. And maybe I think it might be a slippery slope kind of thing. For me, I would fear that if this were just kind of the tip of the iceberg.
38:54🔗AdamWell, they talk about, you know, like marijuana being a stepping stone drug. And I don't think it is. But you know what I'm saying? You get into drugs and then you just keep going with something. What about this?
39:04🔗DrewYeah, but then you'd need some data out there that says, you know, somebody that uses a prostitute regularly, you look back, they all started with some phone sex lines.
39:16🔗AdamOkay, here's the question. Do you think a guy who had been talking to using phone sex regularly would be any closer to using a prostitute than a guy like yourself, for instance, who claims not to use the phone sex lines? You know what I'm saying? I'm guessing that guy would be closer. Is that the kind of guy it is, that the phone sex get him closer?
39:36🔗DrewI don't know. I expect it might be a little further removed from it, because it's such a sort of weird private, you know what I mean?
40:14🔗GuestI think there's a larger issue. I think that if you're going to get married, you should say to yourself, I wouldn't do anything that I would be ashamed for my wife to know. Now, if he wouldn't be ashamed for his wife to know, maybe it would turn her on. But if he would be ashamed, and my hunch is he would...
40:32🔗DrewOr I would look at it in terms of what would hurt your wife. What would... Even just by disappointing her, Catherine is saying, Oh, this would really bother me. This is an intimate account. It would hurt me. And that becomes an attack on your wife. I just can't understand why you guys would do that.
40:50🔗AdamI have said to Drew many times because we travel, I'm trying to figure out a way for him to cheat, you know, because if Drew cheats, that means it's okay for everyone. That's basically my take, so I've painted these elaborate scenarios about us doing some sort of college lecture in Canada and we're in a limousine and one of the driver was a beautiful female, one to give us oral sex and we won't tell anybody when that and she dies the next day in a logging accident. Wouldn't that be all right?
41:38🔗AdamOkay. Let me tell you where the personal attack would come in. When your wife found out, then they would attack your scrotum. That would be the personal attack.
41:49🔗AdamThat explains it all. Oh, by the way, I was just reminded that the season premiere, The Man Show, is on right now, 10.30, Comedy Central. When everyone do turn the radios off, immediately drop what they're doing and turn on Comedy Central and watch a fabulous man show.
42:09🔗CallerI have a question for one of your guests, but before I do, I'm related to one of them indirectly and one of them directly. Spike, do you remember a cousin you had in New York named Teddy?
43:00🔗CallerHow much arm-twisting did you have to do? How much work did you have to put into getting Malkovich to be in your film? I mean, did he say instantly, wow, this is great, let's do it? Or he said, this is way too bizarre, forget it, and you had to just keep coming back to him?
43:16🔗GuestNo, he actually, yeah, he, as I was saying earlier, he thought it was really funny, and I think he just had to decide, it wasn't so much persuading him, I just talked about what I thought and what I wanted to do with it, but he loved all the stuff, the mean stuff, and he wanted more mean stuff. The more meaner stuff about him, the better.
43:42🔗AdamDid you know him before this, had you met him?
44:39🔗CallerOr do you think this was, there's any way it could be interchangeable, or is there something unique about Malkovich that allowed this type of bizarre storyline to work so well?
44:49🔗GuestYeah, we, uh, we always just couldn't imagine anybody else other than him. But yeah, he was the one we wanted to do it with. And have you seen it yet?
45:33🔗Yeah, and the girls, like, if it was different or one was last.
45:36🔗AdamI've tried to time my climaxes before, but my, um, by just looking at the second hand, my hand is moving so fast, I can never, you know, quite get a beat on it. But, uh, for a guy, what is it, uh, three seconds or?
45:58🔗AdamWell, what about, what about women? Is, uh, Catherine?
46:04🔗DrewIt depends on whether they're multi-orgasmic or not.
46:07🔗AdamWell, let's not add them up. Let's just say one session.
46:11🔗DrewWomen, they're multi-orgasmic. Usually, the orgasms are much shorter.
46:15🔗AdamWell, here's, okay, well, here's an interesting question. Um, women, see, see, here's the thing. Okay, here's what I want to say. Hang on there, Karen. You're 15. Do you really need to know this? All right. Just hang on. Let me, let me just bring, figure this out. For a guy, you start the clock when, uh, the first bit of semen breaks the plane of the, uh, urethra opening there, right? Okay. That's where you start the clock and you'd finish it when the last drop came out. Right? Let's, let's, let's just say that. Okay?
46:57🔗AdamFive, six seconds. Wait a minute. Let's, let's just, uh, let me just say, I'll tell you what five seconds is. Okay. Ready? Oh, wait a minute.
47:11🔗AdamNo, it did seem to beat. It seemed to beat longer than it could have been. I'd say three and a half, four seconds. Now, a woman, you never know because they start making that face and stuff and moving around, but you never quite know when it starts and then you kind of, you get a good idea when it's over. But I mean, it could it be, you know, it could be 30 seconds, right? But does that mean they're orgasming during the 30?
47:42🔗GuestYou know, the greatest sex life in all of nature is the snail. The snail is nature's true hermaphrodite. The snail both does and is done to. And the foreplay lasts for two hours, sensuous touching of feelers. And then the actual intercourse lasts 40 minutes. And it is, if you can go out in the garden late at night and you hear these tiny little size. And the reason that the snail has this great sex life is that when God is deciding, you know, all the animal souls are called together. He says, I need lions and hands go up, king of the jungle, big yellow afro. True story. All right, says God, I need giraffes. Hands go up. Finally, he gets down to cows. All right, steady work and stuff. But what the hell? It's a steady job. Finally, he gets down to snails and all the animal snails, souls are looking at the ground. You know, no one wants to be a snail. God says, come on, I got to have some snails and the animal snails, souls don't volunteer. And finally, God says, all right, I tell you what I'm going to do. And this is why we have snails.
48:45🔗AdamThey can get it on for 40 minutes in the tentacle.
48:49🔗GuestThey have a member and they are the receptor and the receptee.
48:55🔗AdamWhy do you need anybody else if you got both? It wouldn't be a bad gig. Well, so does Bruce Valencia, right, Drew, didn't we?
49:03🔗AdamWe decided that, yes indeed. Okay, we have the cast and director of Being John Malkovich on the Fabulous Loveline. When we come back, we will speak to Mark, who is 28, once too much sex is driving a wife nuts. He wants to know if there's any medication he can take. We'll get into that after this.
49:26🔗GuestThe phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. We'll be right back.
49:54🔗AdamIt is Loveline. Catherine Keener, Spike Jonze and Orson Bean are all here from Being John Malkovich, which hits a wide release November 19th and is just getting raves. And it may be out in your town. We're not sure where you live, but you might as well check it out, or for sure it'll be out on the 19th. And I'm guessing some of the release is based on, or the width of the release on the 19th is based on the buzz and the success and the reviews that have been going on thus far. Yes.
50:32🔗AdamI guess they could have went with the thumbs up, which is even more effective.
50:35🔗GuestNow the guy said, the guy from USA, said that based on the business it's doing in the medium release, it's in the smaller release, it's going to much larger this weekend and then huge the following weekend.
50:47🔗GuestSo if it wasn't doing big business, it wouldn't be doing that, because it costs a lot of money to make each print. You know, Spike, how much it costs to make a print to send to a movie theater?
51:22🔗AdamAnd how do they change those reels while the movie's going?
51:27🔗GuestIt's a, they have a, it's a changeover. They have two projectors side by side and there's a little dot that blinks in the upper right hand corner.
51:36🔗GuestIf you learn to look for that dot in the upper right hand corner, if you train your eye to look for it, then you wait 15 seconds and the second one comes. And if your date hasn't noticed the first one, you say, I just get the feeling in 10 seconds, it's going to be a dot in the upper right hand corner. She's, what are you talking about? And then the dot comes. She's, my God, how did you know?
51:53🔗DrewIsn't it all automated though now? Now, is somebody up there changing the phone?
52:06🔗GuestAnd or anything under 20 minutes. And but they used to be on 10-minute reels, so it used to be twice as long. But some movies are longer, so they're on a lot more reels.
52:23🔗AdamYou know what I mean? That was always the good one. Like I hated school. I was a horrible student. And once in a while would be film day. And so you'd see the cart roll in with the projector on it, and you'd think, oh, great, great. This is going to be great. And if you saw two reels, it was like, yes, that's it. We'll learn nothing. This is great. This is huge. But if you saw that little skimpy reel, it meant, uh-oh, we're going to have to discuss this. Yeah. All right. Mark?
52:52🔗AdamYou're 28, and you want a lot of sex. You're driving your wife nuts. And what's the difference between what you want and what she wants?
53:02🔗CallerWell, it just seems like, you know, I still feel like I'm 18. I could have sex every night with her if she let me. But it's come to the point now where I'll just come home from work and I just always get the cold shoulder. I don't know if it's...
53:18🔗CallerShe wants, as far as I know, just to stay sleeping, you know.
53:21🔗DrewHow often would you be comfortable for her?
53:23🔗CallerYou know, I don't know. I've tried to ask her, and she gets real shaky about the whole thing.
53:28🔗DrewYou guys are having some sort of major breakdown in your communication. This is not about your sex drive or her sex drive. This is about your relationship and the quality in which you're maintaining it.
54:23🔗DrewHe's married. No, but it's been some advice. It's not about the sex, and you've got to take it away from that. She's going to feel objectified and unsupported and sort of demeaned by that. You've got to find out at a time when you're both calm what's going on with her. What's changed? You just talk about how you stay away from you statements. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with this? I missed the closeness we had. What can we do to reestablish that? So stay in that mode. When women shut down sex, it's because they are not having their emotional needs supported, especially in a relationship like this. And you've got to figure out, and man, we're clueless. We don't even know what the hell is going on. We just know that, hey, what's wrong with you? Why isn't this working anymore?
55:02🔗AdamWell, it's more like just to hold still.
55:05🔗DrewWhich I know you've recommended many times, Adam. That's fallen on me.
55:29🔗CallerWell, her mother and father used to fight a lot and then they ended up getting separated. Her father was an alcoholic. He still would be an alcoholic.
55:40🔗DrewI mean, I drink beers occasionally, but I don't know about that. Yes, there is some of that you're going to be sort of cast in the role of her dad in many of the encounters you guys have together, but it doesn't always have to be that way if you find a calm moment and try to establish a real contact.
55:56🔗AdamSo what we're saying is for guys, sex is sex, and for women, it means a lot of other things oftentimes, I believe, and if they're not happy with the way you're acting, that's going to get shut down. Men, it doesn't really matter. I mean, the relationship can be coming undone. They're still, the libido is still intact. So you got to talk, as painful as it is.
56:21🔗DrewI know it's tough. That's a tough one for you, Adam.
56:23🔗AdamI know. You really, you actually have to talk. And the problem is, the only time the subject comes up is when he's horny and she's turning him down.
56:31🔗AdamSo you have to do it, I don't know, do it right after you leave church or after you've masturbated or after you've masturbated in church, like John True's known to do. You know, that basket comes around. That's what Drew and he said.
58:23🔗DrewIt's really a representation of your own worth is the problem. That's more what needs to be worked on.
58:27🔗AdamEverybody we speak to, every guy who has a small penis or is worried about his penis size, it's never really about the penis. It's more the penis becomes...
59:11🔗GuestThis is the song that Malkovich sings in the movie that a friend of mine, Mario and I remixed it a few weeks ago and took what Malkovich did and put gold on top of it.
59:29🔗CallerWelcome to the seven and a half floor of the Merton-Flemmer building. As you'll now be spending your workday here, it is important that you learn a bit about the history of this famous floor.
1:01:51🔗AdamThank you. There you go. Don't scare me like that, Anderson, with the double finger point, ten seconds before the mic heats up. That is the Malkovich masterpiece remix that John listens to when he's making love. And we have the cast and director of Being John Malkovich, our guest tonight on Loveline. We'll take a quick break and we'll be back with them and you after this. All right, we got to take a quick 10-second timeout. We'll be back with more of the show in just 10 seconds.
1:03:10🔗AdamIt is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191, Katherine Keener, Orson Bean, and Spike Jonze are all here tonight from Being John Malkovich, which hits a wide release on November 19th and may already be in a theater near you. When we left off, were we talking about going to anybody or did I just leave that up in the air? Yes, there we go. Nikki, you're 24.
1:03:40🔗CallerYeah, I first want to say that Adam, my boyfriend loves you, he idolizes you, I'm listening to you on a radio that he gave me tonight.
1:03:50🔗DrewWhat does it say about your boyfriend?
1:03:51🔗AdamOh, please, hold on. Spike, are you hearing this? Spike, I know you had some heat and some buzz before this Malkovich thing, but I think you're white hot now and you're probably looking for fresh talent. I mean, seriously, I can act, I can dance, I'm a showman.
1:04:10🔗DrewWhy don't you write a strange script about this program, saying, and you present it to John.
1:04:15🔗AdamI'm just saying, can you give me some kind of part in your next gig? Let me say this too, because I believe in the barter system. Here's what you get.
1:04:26🔗GuestAre you offering him sex? Is that what I'm hearing?
1:04:28🔗AdamIt's going to amount to that. We will get to that, but I'm going to start with just a simple trade-out in any other filmmakers, directors, producers, listening should drink this in. I do a radio show every night, a national radio show. Imagine putting me in your film. I would talk about it on a nightly basis.
1:04:45🔗DrewThere's no doubt about it. We wouldn't be able to stop it.
1:04:47🔗AdamI would fill theaters, and all I need is a little cameo, a little something. Just toss me a bone. I mean, it makes sense, right?
1:04:55🔗DrewDon't encourage it. I think it's fine.
1:04:57🔗AdamCameron recognizes talent when she sees it. How come other people... Why do I have to think of this?
1:05:02🔗DrewMaybe we could just think of some bizarre story where you're like you're doing a celebrity game in the Dodger Stadium, and you get a fight with the manager, and something really bizarre happens.
1:05:19🔗AdamI live here in town. As Orson said, I'm not above or below giving a little oral favors. If that's what it takes, that's what it takes. I mean, I'm a committed actor.
1:05:43🔗AdamDrew, please. I'm a professional. I can audition. You want me to get under the console? Drew, can you take over the show for a minute? No problem. All right. Just keep that in mind. And again, I will talk about it on the show on a nightly basis, right, Drew? And how can people walk away from that offer? Nikki?
1:06:08🔗CallerNo. I have a NOAA plan implanted and I had it for the full five years. And during that time, I was on my period for most of the time. Towards the last year, I started getting migraines. Five months ago, I had it removed. And I have had no period and my migraines have just increased. I was wondering if that could have affected it or...
1:06:32🔗DrewYeah, it would be very hard for me to tell you precisely what the mechanism would be, though.
1:06:42🔗AdamFive years. And they just put it on your upper arm, inside of your upper arm, around your bicep there, just under the skin? And what is it? Is it a little sort of half triangle shape, sort of dinner bell shape? What's the shape of that thing? It looks like an AIDS ribbon.
1:07:22🔗AdamOkay. All right. And your body just slowly absorbs these bars? Do you say there's five of them, so it's one a year or something like that? Okay.
1:07:33🔗CallerYeah. And I was wondering if the headaches could be caused by withdrawal from having it take...
1:07:37🔗DrewI would say not from withdrawal, okay? But certainly, migraineous type phenomenon can be predisposed by hormones. In fact, if you had migraine, it's one of the relative contraindications to not being on these pills.
1:07:51🔗AdamHow come more people aren't getting into this NOR plan?
1:07:55🔗DrewAnd hold on a sec, because it's... Well...
1:07:57🔗AdamWhy not? You go in to the doctor's office for five minutes, you get five, six years worth of carefree humping for five minutes.
1:08:08🔗AdamWell, but so many people end up being on the pill for five, ten years anyway. And you could just pop them out, can't you?
1:08:15🔗DrewYeah, well, it's a little procedure. But hey, but listen, the other thing is you should be going back to the gynecologist to figure out why your recycling hasn't reestablished itself. And it may be whatever that hormonal state you're in, which is usually a state of excess estrogen that your ovaries are producing, may actually be perpetuating these headaches. And that certainly could be the case.
1:08:41🔗CallerI had a question for Dr. Drew. I heard someone mention that there is a clinic that exists that will help you pay for your medical bills in exchange for a community service.
1:08:54🔗CallerSo I want to know if you had any links, any places I could contact you.
1:08:59🔗DrewI'd be very interested to know. Why don't you send a letter to Sarah and Dr. Tim at my website at drdrew.com. They're interested in investigating stuff like this. They're trying to come up with these kinds of resources and maybe they either know something or can come up with something for you.
1:09:17🔗AdamPerfect. Wait a second. You have hernia surgery, so you pick up X amount of trash by the side of the freeway. How many miles for each procedure? How does that work?
1:09:28🔗DrewWe'll have to look into that. I know nothing about this.
1:09:30🔗AdamThat sounds ridiculous. That sounds like one of those Canadian ideas. You're not calling from Canada, are you Joanna?
1:09:38🔗AdamThat doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of. It sounds alright if you can't pay and you need something done. Might as well put you to work. What do you want done?
1:10:22🔗DrewNo, probably the nearest one is SC or UCLA.
1:10:25🔗AdamReally? What are the fine citizens of San Diego? Oh, hey, listen, go over to Tijuana. You're just a stone's throw, just a couple of clicks from the border there. They do great work over there.
1:10:43🔗AdamYou swing by the pharmacy, pick up what you need on your way out. No problem. Oh my God. Drew, would you go to Tijuana and get some dental work done?
1:11:07🔗DrewNo. You think they're inferior? No. I love going to Mexico, but I want to travel with my kids down there, but I'm waiting till they're old enough that if we have to involve ourselves in the medical system, it's not a good thing.
1:11:18🔗AdamWell, let me ask you a hypothetical though. I know they take the siesta there. I would rather get the procedure done after the nap than, let's say, right before the nap. You know, like around 1, 1.30, when the guy was winding down, kind of, eyelids kind of sticking shut, looking to stretch out a little. I'd want the refreshed dentist. That's my take. I lived in Mexico.
1:11:39🔗DrewOut of it, you are after a nap sometimes.
1:11:41🔗AdamWell, that's true. Yeah. All right, you may have a point. I'm gonna work that out. Jesse?
1:11:49🔗CallerWell, I just wanted to say that I saw the film and it was really incredible. And I hope that you, Spike, that none of you are surprised when the undergrads of 2000 are writing the philosophy ramifications of the film, you know, the thesis papers for...
1:12:09🔗DrewWhere are you calling from, Jesse? What do you think the meaning is?
1:12:11🔗AdamHold on, Jackie. Where are you calling from?
1:12:14🔗CallerI'm not really prepared to go into this. Oh, boy.
1:12:17🔗AdamDrew, would you shut up? Where are you calling from?
1:12:43🔗CallerYou guys will have fodder for days on Catherine Keener's role. She's just like probably in the most emasculating female role of recent films. But worth it. That's a compliment. I mean, that was an incredible role.
1:12:55🔗AdamYou know that, the spirit in which it was intended.
1:13:13🔗CallerAnd that was Spike. And from the sabotage video and whatever else that he'd done. And it sounded really interesting. And John Cusack and Cameron Diaz didn't look anything like themselves in the little picture.
1:13:29🔗AdamGod, did they frump Cameron Diaz up? That was amazing. That would be impossible to make her look anything less than beautiful. But Jesse?
1:13:37🔗CallerYeah, I actually wanted to ask Spike how he hooked up with Björk for that song that had rolled at the end credits because it was a really beautiful song. What was going on? How did that happen?
1:13:48🔗GuestOh, thanks. I did a video with Björk about three or four years ago. It's Oh So Quiet.
1:14:43🔗AdamWhere did you film that Björk video when she's running down the middle of the street?
1:14:48🔗GuestThe city of San Fernando and San Fernando Road.
1:14:50🔗AdamKnew it. I grew up in North Hollywood. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. When I saw the video, I was thinking that's local. Yeah, I know the valley. And I couldn't figure out why the street was so, why you got the whole street to yourself. But would it have anything to do with the subway or what they were building or any kind of construction project? Or did you just go close it down?
1:15:12🔗GuestWe only had got to close it down for one shot. And the city of San Fernando wasn't happy about it.
1:15:18🔗AdamBut not big Björk fans over there in the East Valley.
1:15:27🔗DrewBjörk and ZZ Top, that's what they're into.
1:15:30🔗AdamYeah. No. All right. Jeff, a great video. And a great song, by the way.
1:15:41🔗DrewWhere have you met her? She's been on the show a couple of times over the years.
1:15:44🔗AdamI never met her on this show, but I saw her over at the K-Rock Morning Show, coming to Bean's show once, with some sort of battery pack hooked up to her cell, some sort of homemade dialysis thing she'd worked out. She was talking about electrodes and keeping her energy cells charged and stuff. And I just went, wow. And I've seen her interviewed a million times.
1:16:10🔗AdamAmazing talent and a nice person, but out there, right? Would have been killed a couple hundred years ago. Her and our cat be on the same steak.
1:16:36🔗CallerSpike, I just want to say, Drew and Adam, you guys rock. Longtime listener, Orson, your performance was amazing. You should be nominated. Get your palm prints at The Man Chinese.
1:16:46🔗CallerTotally. Catherine, your role in Maxine could only remind me of the genius work you did in the 1989 Dennis Hopper film, Backtrack. I saw a lot of truckers girl in Maxine, a lot of truckers girl. But no, the website for the film is great. The script's great.
1:17:03🔗CallerThe direction was great. There's no complaints. But my question for Spike is what amazes me about him is not only does he continue to work as such a great artist, but he continually reaches out to his community. And I'm speaking of course of the Torrance Community Dance Group. And I've been hearing rumors that they're going to be performing with Cirque du Soleil later in the fall. And I'm just curious if that's true. And I'm curious if they had anything to do with any of the great dance sequences in the movie. Because go Torrance, you know what I'm saying?
1:17:46🔗GuestTorrance, California, yeah. And I'm a philanthropist.
1:17:49🔗AdamWhere are you from, though, originally?
1:17:52🔗GuestI'm from Amarillo, Illinois. And the... Amarillo, Illinois.
1:17:58🔗AdamHow did you get hooked up with Torrance?
1:18:00🔗GuestI just... I just... I just... I find them interesting, the creative people and they practice out of the First Life Church on Sepulveda Boulevard in Torrance.
1:18:10🔗CallerAre they gonna tour with Cirque du Soleil? Is that true?
1:18:12🔗GuestNo, I think their next upcoming gig is the Delamo Fashion Center. Really? Yeah. Really?
1:18:55🔗AdamWow. He really did his homework. How did you get hooked up with Orson Bean, by the way, to do this project?
1:19:02🔗GuestWell, Orson Bean plays a character named Dr. Lester in the movie, who is this sweet older man who thinks of one thing only, and probably the same thing you think of mostly, Adam. Asturbation?
1:19:17🔗GuestWomen. Oh, right. So Dr. Lester, who is, I don't know if he's sexually frustrated or not, but he definitely thinks and talks a lot about sex.
1:19:28🔗GuestHe has the hots for his secretary, Mary Kay Place.
1:19:31🔗AdamAnd how did Orson come into this role?
1:19:34🔗GuestOh, so anyways, yeah, we had this role, Dr. Lester, and we were searching high and low for the man for the job, and we were about a week away from shooting, and he was the last one we cast. We were sort of getting down to not knowing what to do, and he came in and saved the day, and just came in and read it.
1:19:52🔗GuestThey had read every old actor in the business and couldn't cast the thing, and I happened to be on Late Night with Tom Snyder one night, and they saw it and they got me in, and I'm telling you, it was like 2.30 in the morning at the White Rose Bar when the day met the next stool starts to look pretty good because you've given up.
1:20:14🔗GuestI can't wait for you to see the movie because Orson is hilarious.
1:20:17🔗AdamWell, I'll kiss Orson's ass in advance. There's nothing worse than it was like when we had What's Her Name from Boogie Nights on here, and I was telling you, it was a disaster.
1:20:28🔗AdamHeather Graham did this show. I've told this story before, but you guys will appreciate it. She was here three years ago plugging some other movie, and I asked her what else she had coming up. She said, well, there's this movie with Marky Mark and Burt Reynolds, where I play Roller Girl. And I said, this is the worst sounding idea I've ever heard in my life. Marky Mark and Burt Reynolds. This is three and a half years ago. So if you think about, you know, Burt Reynolds was coming off of Cop and a Half, and Marky Mark had just done some kind of music video or something. And I said, I don't know who your agent is, but I got to talk to him because, honey, he's driving, your career is going to the garbage can. Marky Mark, Burt Reynolds, and you're on roller skates? Yeah, it takes place in the 70s. Oh, Jesus Christ.
1:21:11🔗AdamOh, like, what are you doing, honey? And that was really one of my favorite films of the year. So anyway, I'm not going to make that same mistake with Orson. All right. I'm a huge fan of yours. The work you did in this movie was stellar.
1:21:26🔗GuestAnd this from a man who hasn't seen it.
1:21:27🔗AdamAnd I couldn't imagine anyone else playing your part. I really couldn't. Oh, wait a minute here, Drew, where are we? You got a call? Oh, Drew, you got to, oops, sorry. We'll get rid of your old papers over there because I'm looking at those ones. Austin?
1:21:43🔗CallerHey, how's it going? First of all, all the people that are there in the studio with you, I don't want to be the guy saying, you know, okay, but if they're on your show, I'm sure they're very talented and there you go.
1:22:21🔗CallerOkay. Well, like, she went in, like, two weeks ago, and she's supposed to be in for another two weeks, and I wanted to break up with her, you know, but I don't want her to, you know, I don't know if I should break up with her or wait till she's gotten out or...
1:22:36🔗DrewYou were going to break up with her anyway. It's not because she's in a hospital.
1:22:55🔗CallerWell, they told her that it would probably be another two weeks if she was, you know, going home.
1:23:00🔗AdamBut she must have made a pretty serious attempt on it.
1:23:03🔗CallerShe must have had something going on.
1:23:04🔗DrewBut put Austin Hull for one second. We're going to talk behind your back for a second.
1:23:07🔗AdamAustin Stone, he can stay there. All right.
1:23:09🔗DrewWell, this is the point. How destabilizing is it going to be to his girlfriend for Austin the stoner boyfriend to be out of her life? You know what I'm saying?
1:23:23🔗DrewIt may harm her and it may hurt her, but it's probably a good move in terms of her overall health and progress. So, Austin, while if the relationship is over, being honest with her now is not a bad idea because she has lots of support around her. It can really process this. This is the time to do it. Not when she gets out and decompensates again. If this relationship is really over, if you are leaving her merely because she is in a hospital, that's an unfortunate stigmatizing and I think discriminatory thing to do for somebody who has a mental illness and needs hospitalization is getting treatment. You, too, must need treatment. You are a marijuana addict. I guarantee you, God is my witness, it will catch up with you.
1:24:05🔗AdamWell, let me say, it's an interesting angle. My angle would be, don't freak her out while she is in the hospital. Let her recover, let her get out. But, Drew, I do actually agree with your point, which is if you are going to shoot somebody, shoot them in the OR.
1:24:21🔗DrewYeah. If she gets out, you are going to shoot.
1:24:24🔗AdamWell, you know what I am saying? I mean, there is a bunch of people around who are sterilized. Don't do it in the alley. Right?
1:24:31🔗DrewRight. If your heart is going to stop, go ahead and let it stop in the cath lab, not out on the street.
1:24:35🔗AdamI would have, that was my next analogy, the cath lab? What the hell is that?
1:24:39🔗DrewIt's where you are being catheterized. We have all the equipment in your heart.
1:24:43🔗AdamListen, our stone listener said they are going to catch up to the cath lab. Okay, so dump her while she is in the hospital.
1:24:52🔗DrewIf the relationship, in fact, is over, be honest and let her deal with it when she has the support to do it.
1:24:57🔗AdamAll right. That's how she stays in for another month or so, right? Right? I mean, she is there.
1:25:04🔗AdamCatherine, well, what would you do? I mean, he wants to break up. I don't know. Would you break up? I mean, I would think let her get out and I, you know, as a matter of fact, I would give her another month after she got out and then break up.
1:25:17🔗DrewI promise you the team that's treating her will be delighted to have Austin out of her life. Yeah.
1:25:21🔗AdamWell, that's probably true and she has people around her.
1:25:24🔗DrewYeah. The sooner and the more thoroughly she deals with reality, the better it is for her overall.
1:25:32🔗AdamI agree with Dr. Well, wow, you're that sad?
1:25:38🔗No, I just think that I'm not. Oh, yeah, I'm a little tired. But I do think that if it's going to happen anyway, it should happen when she has people around to help her through it, and not when she's out kind of on her own.
1:25:52🔗AdamAll right. So for once, I agree with Drew.
1:25:55🔗GuestCatherine has a four month old baby. This is the first evening she's been able to get out and she's spending it with you two.
1:26:02🔗AdamGod bless you Catherine. Four months. Is he or she? He. Is he doing good?
1:26:19🔗AdamWhat's he going to get into over there? It's going to be like boot up something on the internet, watch some porn or something. It's not going anywhere. He's probably sleeping, right?
1:26:32🔗AdamOh, your husband's on, right? Here's why. I know I'm going to be a bad parent is because if I see a kid sleeping, I think I could probably sneak out and go down on the liquor store and come back 20 minutes later. Why not?
1:26:47🔗DrewOh, my God. Yeah, they're 15. It's okay.
1:26:49🔗AdamOkay. All right. No, that's when I don't leave. Are you kidding? Smoking pot and going through my porno. We'll take a little break and we'll be back after this.
1:27:33🔗AdamI'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew, Catherine Keener, Orson Bean, and Spike Jonze are all here from Being John Malkovich, which is out in wide release on November 19th and out in certain places now as we speak, and it's getting raves. And I think, or at least Roger Ebert thinks it's gonna be nominated for-
1:27:54🔗DrewSpike just did a magic trick, I think.
1:28:23🔗GuestInto his right hand, pressing it right in there. Yeah. And now he's just making sure that, and there's- It's gone.
1:28:29🔗AdamOh, my God. I'm easily impressed, I got to admit. But that was pretty good. That was good. He had his sleeves rolled up. We have good lighting in here. I didn't see anything flying away. You guys have different angles on it, Spike. You didn't see anything?
1:28:43🔗GuestI did a whole magic show last week at my grandson's birthday. I cut a guy's arm off. I cut another person's neck tie off and then restored it. I can do 20 minutes of good stuff if you ever have a... When your kid is older, Catherine, I'll come and do a show for you.
1:29:00🔗DrewMy kid's birthday is next Wednesday. You're welcome. You're supposed to come.
1:29:04🔗AdamI'm not going to that. You're pretty crazy kids. There's going to be like 60 kids at your house?
1:29:10🔗AdamNo. I told you as part of the conditions of my parole, I cannot be around children for another four years. It's no big deal. No, but I'm just saying there's no way You were expected.
1:29:33🔗CallerYou guys made a reference probably two or three weeks ago about something to along the effects of people necessarily without eating disorders usually tend to be sexually compulsive.
1:29:45🔗DrewI don't know. It was me who said that?
1:29:46🔗CallerNo, no. Yeah, it was Dr. Drew. You made a comment. Somebody was talking about it.
1:29:51🔗DrewThere is an association, but it's not usually.
1:29:54🔗CallerYeah, okay. What I'm curious about is my wife. She used to be bulimic. Before we even got together, I mean, it was cool. She wasn't bulimic. We got together and developed somewhere along the lines. It's never happened since then, whatever. We tend to be pretty sexual compulsive. I just thought it was really interesting that you made that point. And I was curious where they made that connection or what?
1:30:21🔗DrewI see it all the time. I don't know. I realize as you're asking the question, I've not read data. And I know it's not a routine thing, but I've certainly seen plenty of cases of that.
1:30:30🔗AdamWell, where does the bulimia stem from? Is it a control thing? Is it a mastery thing?
1:30:48🔗DrewYeah. When you don't have the opportunity to develop fully, developmentally, your body looks for ways to manage feelings. And this is one at its disposal. It's particularly common to people that have very intrusive parents or severe traumas in childhood.
1:31:04🔗AdamBut what about other conditions? And their connection to sexual compulsion, such as being addicted to drugs?
1:31:12🔗AdamVery common. So, I mean, there's sort of a... You could make the connection between the sexual compulsion and a few things, right?
1:31:19🔗DrewYeah, you could also say that people that have childhood sexual traumas are at higher risk of having eating disorders and are usually sexual compulsive.
1:31:27🔗CallerWell, I mean, common sense would tell me, like, okay, maybe the sexual compulsion would come with being, you know, not enough self-esteem, they want to feel more second-
1:31:36🔗DrewThere's some of that, and there is, again, these sort of primitive mechanisms to try to restore a few state with another person.
1:31:43🔗AdamAll right, well, how is it manifesting itself now, Scott?
1:31:46🔗CallerOkay, pretty much, here's how we pinpointed what came of it, why it developed, and the thing was, her mother, when she was young, I mean, I guess parents don't understand what they're saying to their kids, but it was strange. Her mother always put an emphasis on, you know, her weight or this or that, and the thing is she's completely beautiful, I mean...
1:32:05🔗DrewScott, that is not why she has a DNA disorder.
1:32:08🔗CallerNo, no, no, here's the thing. It's been in her mind, I mean, we have figured out that it was growing up and being basically told, her mother basically told her when she was young that she's overweight.
1:32:18🔗DrewNo, that's not why she has a DNA disorder.
1:32:19🔗AdamI bet you want to revisit that one more time, Scott? Or are you just going to believe me?
1:32:23🔗DrewShe has a DNA disorder because she has an intrusive, annihilating mom who got under her skin in all areas of her life, amongst which is she had to look perfect, be perfect, because that's what the mother needed her to be, and she never allowed her to develop as a separate whole individual.
1:32:38🔗AdamIt's getting a little cathartic now, Drew. You want to simmer down a little? Better to have a mom who locked herself in a room and smoked pot like my mom.
1:32:45🔗AdamShe'll come out completely normal and adjusted. Hey, but Scott, listen to me. I don't care what her mom called her, or how she said she looked in a jumpsuit in 1974. I want to know how it's manifesting itself now.
1:32:59🔗CallerOh, now it's, it's, this is gone and done with. I mean, it's never...
1:33:02🔗AdamNo, all right. What about the sexual compulsion?
1:33:04🔗CallerOh, yeah, it's all the time. It's, I mean, we're, I mean, yeah.
1:33:10🔗AdamScott, Scott, okay, but I'm asking one last time. As far as the sexual compulsion goes, it's not like she wants to have sex with other men. It's not like she wants to make movies. She just has sex with you a lot.
1:33:22🔗CallerYeah, it was just interesting to me that at one point it was made that...
1:33:53🔗CallerI don't know if you thought this, but like you're Adam, I always pictured you as a, you know, late thirties, early forties kind of balding kind of guy, but I...
1:34:27🔗AdamYes, all of America's a buzz with my Mantenae idol good looks. And I know you like to work with these, with these guys, these Malkovich types. Sure, you gotta get a few lines in your face and a shaved head in order to be an artist, but there's nothing, you know, there are geniuses that are attractive, right, Drew?
1:34:57🔗CallerI just want to talk to Spike, because I went out and saw the movie Friday night, opening night. I have to say it was one of the most disturbingly brilliant movies I've seen in like years.
1:35:32🔗CallerI was just curious, how do you hook up with John Cusack? Because that was the main reason I went and saw it. He's done a lot of weird movies. I saw he was in this. I was prepared for weird. But that was something. How do you hook up with him?
1:35:43🔗GuestHe had read the script a while ago and always wanted to do it. I think John Cusack plays an out-of-work struggling artist whose art is marionette puppetry. He's trying to succeed as a puppeteer in this hard and heavy world we have. He just identified with that role.
1:36:10🔗AdamHe's great, he really isn't. I wouldn't even agree necessarily that he's done a ton of weird movies, but he does weird parts in roles in even more mainstream movies sometimes.
1:36:23🔗CallerWell, you get Gross Point Blank, he played a hitman. I mean, that's not exactly usual.
1:36:27🔗AdamYeah, but what I mean is this is probably the weirdest of his movies, is it not? Or was it that it wasn't even that Summer Vacation? What was that movie where he had to fix up the boat and win the big yacht race? Better Off Dead, yeah, with Bobcat Gulfway.
1:37:11🔗AdamTake care. Oh, good. I like it. We've talked about this before, Drew, there's a lot of injustice in this society of ours. But one thing that still seems to work, which is no matter how big the advertising budget is for a stinky movie, it will not succeed. Right. And conversely, no matter how small the budget is for a really good movie, you can't seem to keep it down. And I don't, it doesn't seem to hold true in any other aspect of life. But in films, and I may, there may be a hundred great masterpieces that I haven't seen and never heard of and so maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that I've seen, you know, movies where the advertising budget was, you know, millions and millions of dollars and you couldn't get people to go see that movie. Maybe they saw it for the first week, then word of mouth spread and the second week it flopped completely whereas movies, and I get the feeling this movie will be one of those, it just keeps going. It's just word of mouth. Everyone is called in, has liked it. They'll tell people and it'll just keep chugging along. And I like that. It means there's some justice. Now Spike, why don't you put me, you understand the kind of power I have with this microphone? I will dedicate, forget about it, an evening, a week to whatever movie you put me in. Do you understand?
1:38:35🔗GuestDo a remake of Shakes the Clown and put him in it.
1:38:41🔗AdamDon't make me pick up the phone. Well, Bob finds out about Orson's love for Shakes. Bobcat's assistant called me for the 35th time yesterday, by the way, at Loveline and I want to know which Adam it was. I remember I was always talking about this. He goes, Bobcat Goldthwait's assistant has my name in a Rolodex as Just Adam and every six months she calls and goes, Bob's having a party. Is this Adam Sandler? I go, no, this is Adam Corolla. She goes, did I say he was having a party? But then I tell her, you know, put my last name and she does it and then six months later she calls back again.
1:40:03🔗AdamWe're back with more Loveline. We have Donny Osmond and Dave Navarro coming in, Our Lady Peace also in here, Bruno Campos from Jesse, the good-looking Latin guy who lives upstairs there. Tomorrow? No, that is next week. And I can't pronounce Melissa's last name. D'Souza? D'Souza? I couldn't see the rest of the D there. That from Best Man, which is, I think it's not, it'll be out Friday?
1:40:33🔗No, it's out. It's been out. It came out last week, I think.
1:41:00🔗AdamRight. Okay. Okay. Come on. I didn't smoke that much pot. That was close. Fine. The Best Man, which was like number one film a couple of weeks ago, I do believe. All right. Drew, what the hell do you want?
1:41:22🔗AdamDon't give me that look. I don't like that. Lean into the mic. Well, I'm explaining who's coming on the show, coming up. I'm explaining where the person's coming from. You had to stop me and get into it tomorrow night. That was your deal. I went to next week, and then you give me that guilty lean up against the mic, like I'm here telling some high school football story. No, seriously, seriously. I say who's coming up next week, right? Then you stop me and say who's coming up the next day.
1:41:52🔗DrewI'm afraid to say anything, because last time I said it... No, go ahead. Say it, say it.
1:42:03🔗AdamSeriously, Drew, what's the puss for? You want to take calls? Okay, why do you want to go into who's coming on tomorrow night, then, if you want to take calls?
1:42:14🔗AdamOkay, you don't think I'm aware of that?
1:42:15🔗DrewI didn't know, because it seemed like you couldn't read it, and that's why I was offering to read it.
1:42:19🔗AdamOkay, all right, now you don't want to reset this show.
1:42:22🔗DrewThe show was Spike Jonze, Orson Bean, Catherine Keener from Being Joked.
1:42:26🔗AdamLet's go to the calls. Michael, you're 20, what's up?
1:42:29🔗CallerYeah, my girlfriend will not let me make her orgasm. Like she has told me that like she could if she let herself, but like if she would let herself but her mind tells her not to, and sometimes she'll stop me. Other times, I guess she just says her mind, she says she can't explain it, but her mind tells her she can't. And I know that she's like, she even told me that like when she's masturbating that she can make herself orgasm.
1:43:01🔗AdamYeah, I think that's an intimacy thing. Personally.
1:43:05🔗DrewWell, she needs to tell me, sometimes women are afraid they're going to urinate or something.
1:43:07🔗CallerNo, see, and I asked her that, because like we've talked about it, and I asked her that, and she said, that's not it, like nothing happens.
1:43:16🔗DrewSure. This is that, I don't want to give up, lose control, be completely vulnerable, those sorts of things. Adam is telling you that, and that's right. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is.
1:43:24🔗CallerAnd I think that might be part of it, but like she even had a fiance before me, so.
1:43:55🔗AdamYeah. That could be part of it. I've run into that before. They all say that, though. Maybe they're just being kind. But women look at the orgasm as something that they are sometimes. I don't want to make a blanket statement here, but I'll go ahead anyway. Women look at the orgasm as if they're giving something away, whereas men, they can't give enough of that sperm away. I told Drew once if I could run backwards fast enough to get the sperm to come out of my penis, I would do it. It's of no use to us, this sperm. We produce billions every 10 minutes, and we can't push it through fast enough. I'm not attached to any one particular sperm that's in me, by the way. They're all expendable. Kill them all.
1:44:36🔗GuestAnd even when a guy is 90 years old, the delivery system is not as efficient, but the sperm itself is produced fresh on the hour like Dunkin Donuts.
1:44:46🔗AdamRight. Yeah, it's like some sort of… Yeah, Dunkin Donuts. It's like a bakery, except for the… It's just the truck doesn't drive as fast, but they're still cranking out the donuts. That's right. And women look at it as… Some of them, they bond too tightly with a guy when they have the orgasm and it becomes too intimate for them. So I'd work on that if I were you. But work that angle. Don't just focus on the…
1:45:16🔗CallerMy boyfriend is completely into anal sex and having sex the regular way, he doesn't really want to do. And if we're having sex the regular way, it's hard for him to keep it up and he has to rub my anus to basically, I guess, keep his erection.
1:45:54🔗AdamThat's where the name was derived from. People don't realize it.
1:45:57🔗CallerNo, I know a lot of people think it's more about anal sex. Oh, Drew, please.
1:46:00🔗AdamYeah. Here's the thing. Now, I don't trust guys that are into the back door completely. I don't mind a little dabbling, but I don't trust guys that are obsessed with it.
1:46:11🔗CallerYeah, because we used to do it once in a while. It was like an intimate thing, and then it turned into like every time we had sex, that's what it had to be, or he'd get pissed off.
1:47:18🔗CallerWhen I try to tell him, you know, or that it feels uncomfortable when we're doing it, then the sex stops completely. We don't even finish.
1:47:37🔗AdamWell, I know, but you explain to him when he's penetrating you rectally that it's hurting you or uncomfortable, you don't like it, and then he gets pissed off and stops.
1:47:49🔗DrewMaybe your sense of what aggression is is off. Maybe you don't perceive it normally. He sounds very aggressive.
1:47:56🔗GuestLeave him before you start walking funny.
1:47:58🔗AdamYes. Listen, listen Orson, he has more backdoor experience than anybody in Hollywood. Let me tell you, that's no easy chore. There's many, many guys who are vying for the crown. Bruce Vance, we're talking about him. He's been making a run at Orson's crown for years now.
1:48:19🔗GuestHe likes to do business with an old established firm.
1:48:22🔗AdamIn 1979, he came this close within a breath from taking Orson's crown, but Orson fought him back one more time. All right. I always get the feeling that guys that are really, really into the backdoor are a little bit aggressive. Part of the reason they like it is because it's a little bit of a humiliating, aggressive act and their girlfriends always defend them except for lo and behold, when they can't do it, they get pissed off and get aggressive.
1:48:47🔗GuestI don't think I ever heard anybody sneeze on the radio before. That was good. I liked it.
1:48:51🔗AdamThat's a personal low for Drew. He doesn't really show on the radio. We'll take a break and then we'll theoretically be back on the radio.
1:49:03🔗GuestLove one with Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla. We'll be right back.
1:49:31🔗AdamAll right. Well, we're out of time. Go see Orson Bean's play. He's doing it for free because he loves his craft.
1:49:37🔗GuestIt's called The Swan, and you look under Critics Choice in the LA Times tomorrow.
1:49:42🔗GuestAlex Enberg is in it, Shiva Rose, me.
1:49:45🔗AdamAll household names are 14-year-old stone listeners that fell asleep 10 minutes ago. Catherine and Spike, thank you very much for coming in. Being John Malkovich, everyone, go out and see that, find out what the buzz is all about. And until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying Mahalo.
1:50:04🔗GuestThis has been Loveline. The views expressed on Loveline are not necessarily those of the staff, the management, or the sponsors of this radio station. And are probably not the views of Westwood One Entertainment.
1:50:15🔗CallerLoveline is produced by Ann Wilkin Zingold.
1:50:17🔗GuestNow, please listen to this station longer.
