9:15🔗AdamI'm Adam Corolla. It's Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LEVE-191. Facts number 3108-54-4455. Dr. Drew is a Board Certified Physician and Dixon Medicine Specialist.
9:26🔗DrewAnd Adam just walked in the door. Very nice.
9:28🔗AdamHow dare you? I've been in my seat for 13 seconds now.
9:35🔗AdamYes, I've been in Drew's seat. I'm going to see if I can fart it up before I leave.
9:38🔗DrewNo, actually, I asked Adam to let me in out. Since tonight, we're being visited by Children of the Night, which is an organization designed to help adolescents 11 to 17 year olds. And you are a therapist or a?
10:11🔗AdamI see. Now I can nap finally. Go ahead with the inner future.
10:15🔗GuestSo I'm going to get comfortable over here.
10:17🔗DrewFor purposes of the rest of the country, there is a huge concert that Carolla is putting on this weekend called the Acoustic Christmas and many of the proceeds from that concert are going to Children of the Night.
10:26🔗AdamIt's also going to the Tripp Reeb Get Another Turbo Forge Fund. I don't know if you're aware of that.
10:36🔗AdamAnd Tripp told me personally that if he comes up short this year, he's going to actually dip into the Children of the Night Fund to help pay it off.
10:45🔗DrewI'm sort of more struck by the fact that Tripp called you. That's what scares me.
10:48🔗AdamWell, we ran into each other in the hall. We were at an auto auction. But anyway, where are you guys? Is your, are you over on Gower?
10:56🔗GuestNo, actually Children of the Night is in Van Nuys. We ran a walking center in Hollywood for many years, but we've moved to the Valley. We've been out there since 1992.
11:04🔗AdamYou're really moving up. Where are you in Van Nuys?
11:06🔗GuestWe're in Van Nuys, right near the police station.
11:09🔗DrewYou're actually a residential center though.
11:11🔗GuestWe have, well we have a hotline that's nationwide. We have an outreach program that goes out on the streets in different parts of the city and also different states.
11:17🔗DrewHow do you define what is your program does?
11:20🔗GuestChildren of the Night is a privately funded non-profit that works specifically with kids involved in prostitution.
11:26🔗DrewNot just drugs and alcohol but specifically.
11:28🔗GuestSpecifically kids involved in prostitution.
11:29🔗DrewAnd then obviously that usually encompasses all sorts of other things.
11:33🔗GuestMost of them are kids that have been abused and have wandered up on the streets.
11:36🔗AdamWhat is the percentage of males to females?
11:41🔗GuestOur program tends to work more with females than males. We work with about 80% female. Our boys tend to be gay or cross dressers.
11:49🔗AdamYeah. There's no... God knows. If there was male prostitution that catered to young women, it wouldn't be a problem.
11:58🔗AdamYou know what I mean? I mean, there wouldn't be a flopping in a place.
12:01🔗DrewYou mean basically all males would participate.
12:03🔗AdamI'd do it. I would have done it. You know what I mean? People don't understand this. I think they watched American Jiggle-O too many times or something. Like female prostitutes service males and male prostitutes service males. There you go. Yeah, that's the downside of the prostitution game for the guys. And most of these people, are they from somewhere around the country and not from here?
12:25🔗GuestOur kids are from all over. We have kids from Vancouver. We have kids from Vegas. We have kids from all over the country.
12:31🔗AdamWould you say, though, an organization like this gets more business in LA where people come, sort of disenfranchised, people chasing dreams, running away?
12:41🔗GuestYeah, we still have our kids that come to Hollywood thinking that they can be movie stars or that they can be models or whatever. But for the most part, we fly kids in from all over.
12:50🔗GuestYeah, the pimp's taken from city to city to city. So they know to call us wherever they happen to be.
12:55🔗AdamReally, they travel around like some sort of sex circus, huh?
13:00🔗GuestThe minute the streets get hot with the police and the police start to realize that they're kids, not adults, and they start to, their aliases catch up with them, they just move on to a different city.
13:08🔗AdamIs there a market for kids, per se, or do the Johns, as we like to call them in the business, do they not know that these kids are underage?
13:17🔗GuestI think they kid themselves, they don't want to know that they're 14, 13 years old. And the girls lie about their age also, so that they don't get picked up as juveniles.
13:26🔗AdamRight. So, they actually, do they put them in a van or something, just drive across country? I mean, who are these pimps?
13:35🔗DrewThey move. Victimizer piece, so they can see it. I don't know what they see.
13:39🔗GuestAbsolutely, they can see it. It's unbelievable. They talk to these kids for five minutes and they become their friends. They realize that this is a kid that's gonna fall prey to their...
13:50🔗GuestOur outreach team goes out on the streets. They go out on the streets in Hollywood. They go out on the streets in Arizona and Las Vegas and different areas.
13:58🔗GuestActually, they pass out cards. We're not in a van. We're very low-key. We pass out cards and condoms and keep moving because they're making money out there at the time. And when they want to call us, they know who to call.
14:07🔗AdamAnd when... So if they were to call you, could they go somewhere that night?
14:12🔗GuestAbsolutely. If they call us, we have cab accounts in different cities. We can rescue them from pimps.
14:21🔗AdamAnd so they could call that number. They could say, I'm in some motel right now. I want to get out of here. You could have a cab there in a matter of...
14:28🔗GuestEither the cab or we work real closely with law enforcement if it looks like a cab's not going to be safe for them.
14:33🔗AdamAnd they'll get them. They'll take them to where you guys are.
14:36🔗GuestTake them to someplace safe until we can figure out whether we can bring them in.
14:39🔗AdamYou guys immediately will put them to work in a sweatshop in the basement, making us...
14:59🔗AdamShe lives in New York. No, I thought that she was one of the people that... Yes, got involved. You know, it always happens, or it seems to happen a lot, or you can tell me that people get involved with the program and then they stay with it after they've recovered and now they're staying on.
15:15🔗GuestRight. We have an alumni program. We stick with kids for years. If they want to keep in contact with us, if they want to go to college, whatever, we can still help them.
15:21🔗AdamAll right. So, Annie is it, by the way? Oh, Anna. And when did you first come in contact with Children of the Night?
15:27🔗GuestI came in contact with them on August 15th.
15:30🔗AdamOf this year? This year. Oh, really? So, it was a pretty quick turn around. And is your story a typical one?
15:38🔗GuestNot, I mean, not everybody's story is typical. There's no really typical story. Everybody has a different story.
15:45🔗AdamBut it's a broken family usually. Not always.
15:48🔗GuestNot always. Some come from a very privileged family.
15:53🔗AdamTwo kids in 20 years have come from that. But not.
15:56🔗GuestIt's all in who they meet. It really is.
15:57🔗AdamYeah, but hold on. I don't want to tell you business, but here it goes. Because I do this with everybody. That's why everyone hates me. But you have to, predominantly, your kids are made up of families that are broken, of fathers that are abusive. Trauma survivors. Yeah, people who are emotionally, physically, sexually abused.
16:19🔗GuestThe majority of our kids have been sexually abused.
16:20🔗AdamAnd who got out of that house, drunken stepdad kind of thing. I mean, once in a while, there's somebody whose parents are together in their upper middle class or something, and they still hook up with the wrong people. But by and large, that's not your clientele, right?
16:33🔗GuestYou know, we see it all. We really do. And it needs to be.
16:35🔗AdamHow come no one will ever admit to one thing? What is that, Drew? How come? Hold on. You said, don't listen to this for a second. I'm not attacking, but what I'm saying is, is I know 85% of the people that walk through that door come from broken and abusive situations.
16:52🔗GuestSo usually kids that have been sexually abused and so on.
16:53🔗AdamRight. So just say most all of that. Say it. Say most all the people come from this. Because it drives me nuts. It's like, no, anyone can get AIDS. Anyone can get AIDS. Well, yes. But if you're gay, if you're an HIV drug user, no, anyone can get it. Anyone can get it. I don't like that message. I mean, if your family's together and your parents love you, you shouldn't be running away. And you're probably not going to do it.
17:15🔗GuestBut we've seen pimps that meet kids on bus stops and call them every night.
17:19🔗AdamIt's happened, but I'm not worried about that.
17:46🔗AdamYeah, that's what I'm saying. You don't hear it anymore. You don't hear it. It's like you've become numb or something. I remember the first time my mom called me a slut.
17:57🔗AdamAlright, so we'll be giving that number out. We'll be talking to these kids. And I think it's a great thing that you guys are doing, by the way. And I think it's great when you can connect with, I like the idea of the cab company, where they'll arrange transportation. I'm guessing you got some of the deals, same kind of deals working with airlines and bus companies?
18:23🔗GuestBut the cab companies, most of them we pay, but at the same time, it's safe that Pimp doesn't know where the kids going. She's getting in the cab and just doesn't come back.
18:31🔗AdamSo where does most of the money that you'll get from something like this benefit concert that's going on this weekend, where would that go?
18:38🔗GuestIt all goes to providing services for the kids. We're 100% non-profit, and we're very much a grassroots organization that operates hand-to-mouth, specifically on donations that we get.
18:48🔗AdamAnd how many kids can your facility hold?
19:10🔗AdamI don't blame them for being horrible because of where they come from and what they've seen and all that. But you get a couple. Well, I'm trying to think, are the guys, are they gay? A lot of the guys, are they straight who are just doing gay tricks to make money? Because I'm wondering about what happens when you take the 16-year-old girls and you mix them with the 16-year-old guys under the same roof.
19:31🔗GuestIt works out real well when the boys are gay or cross-dressers. When they're straight, it's a whole different ball game. You know, immediately when we have a straight boy in there, the whole place turns upside down.
19:39🔗AdamYeah. Not a bad angle for a crafty, horny 16-year-old guy to get himself picked up and head into the house of hookers over here and just run amok for a weekend before he gets tossed out. You know what I'm saying, Drew?
19:52🔗DrewI know you would have done that. I understand that.
19:53🔗AdamI wish I had one of those cards when I was in high school. Pick me up. I need help just for the weekend. All right. So I'm done offending everybody. I think I come from a long line of people who tried to help people. They couldn't help themselves too much, but they ended up helping. My dad was a director of education at this place called Five Acres out in Pasadena. Had a lot of troublemakers going to school over there. And I come from a long line of helpers. Drew, do you? No, Drew, you? No, they make money. Yeah, that's right. They abuse their own. Are you ready to go to the phones here, Drew?
20:31🔗DrewLet's do it. This is Nicole who is 20. Nicole?
20:38🔗GuestNot much. I am finding it really hard to say no to having sex, like with my boyfriend that I've been with for like a year or so. And we have sex like three to four times a day, I'd say about four times a week.
20:54🔗AdamSo you're having sex like 16 times a week? Yeah. You go to school? You are having trouble saying no, by the way. That's trouble.
21:02🔗GuestIt's not like I don't mind it, like I really do enjoy it and stuff, but sometimes it gets like a little annoying after a little while.
21:10🔗AdamSo you mean you may not want to say no on the first time, but on the fourth or fifth time you may want to say no?
22:12🔗AdamAll right. But nobody abuses you. She has no trouble saying no when we ask her questions. Do you want to have sex? Would you like to have some sex with me?
22:24🔗AdamYeah. Girls seem to be able to muster that with me. All right. Just pretend you're looking at me when your boyfriend asks you for sex. Could you do that? Possibly. Well, do you want to say no? It seems like you can say it. It doesn't seem like you have anything up with you that's so insurmountable that you couldn't do it. Right.
22:44🔗GuestWell, I feel like I'd be letting him down in some way. Like a lot of times I won't go to like a call-in sick from work because I just want to stay home, you know.
22:51🔗DrewSee, he may be sexual compulsive. Maybe she just co-dependent to all that.
22:55🔗AdamYou know, what's your fantasy? What do you think will happen if you let him down? You think he'll break up with you?
23:01🔗GuestI never even thought about like what he would...
23:03🔗DrewWhy don't you think about it? Why don't you begin to tune into what you want in the relationship and go ahead and assert that? Listen, you're going on to the point to comply with his needs that you're actually harming yourself physically. You're hurting yourself.
23:14🔗AdamWell, I didn't say she was hurting herself.
23:17🔗DrewYou said so far that it's annoying. It's uncomfortable.
23:19🔗AdamAnnoying, she said. You're not hurt. You didn't sprain your vagina or anything, did you?
25:22🔗AdamThat'd be all right, as long as we're in for a taste. I mean, you know, we need a little scratch. That's not free. Fine. What's your question, James?
25:29🔗GuestWell, I've got one really serious question, but I thought of one while I was waiting. I remember hearing you guys say something about a DNA test that can tell you if you're HIV-positive or not.
26:13🔗AdamIt's like 50 or 60 bucks or something like that.
26:15🔗DrewIt's more expensive in isolation. And it's hard to find. It's way in certain testing sites. But I think two weeks is the window that generally you... It may be positive within a shorter period of time, but I think two weeks is what they like to wait.
26:25🔗AdamAll right, James, what was your serious question?
26:28🔗GuestOkay, well, there was one other one. I've done a lot of drugs in the past.
26:35🔗AdamWell, listen, what do you think? We're dedicating the first hour to James and his goddamn problems? That's the one you called in for, jackass.
26:43🔗GuestAll right, you want me to tell you that one?
26:44🔗AdamYeah, I'd like that one. Jesus Christ, you're sitting there like improvising. Like, you got a trace going, you got some FBI telling you to stop.
26:54🔗GuestOkay, all right. There was this one night where me and this girl that I started dating, I was with my best friend, and we all had a bunch of beers and some prescription drugs. And we ended up getting really partying a lot. And then later on, we went back to my house and we ended up laying like on my bed and we were just talking. And then, you know, the girl, my she, we were just dating at the time, she crawled on top of me and we started kissing and stuff. And then I was like, well, why don't you give my friend Steve a kiss? And so he...
27:46🔗AdamWell, hold on, Drew, are you reading that on the screen?
27:49🔗DrewNo, you tell it where he's going, just listen.
27:51🔗AdamI know, but you get to the point where he says, she gave him a kiss and then you cut him off and say, you're cutting off the good part. I didn't know they had sex. So you guys went all the way, huh?
28:01🔗DrewWell, Anna's shaking her head. Do you have something to say about that?
28:14🔗AdamAnd you... There is when I'm in it, with you, it's just like putting a couple sandbags in it. All right, so you watched your friend have sex with your girlfriend.
28:32🔗GuestIt was just like three hours long, four hours long, but anyway, like we started dating after that, me and the girl, and now I kind of like... I don't really respect her a whole lot.
28:52🔗AdamSo when you're done with the orgy, you got her phone number?
28:56🔗GuestWell, I know where her phone number is.
28:57🔗DrewCreate all sorts of powerful feelings that you can't predict. Whether or not you're in a relationship and then bring a third person in, whether or not it's somebody in an acquaintance that you develop some powerful feelings for in the course of a threesome, there's still very conflicted, very powerful feelings that result. And they always, essentially always are unhealthy. It destroys relationships or it disrupts them at least. And this is not the greatest, healthiest sort of foundation for a relationship.
29:23🔗AdamIt's doomed, James. Doomed. Do you hear me? It's not going anywhere. Just enjoy yourself. You weren't getting married to her anyway. I know. Just have some fun, see where it goes. And take the pressure off yourself. I mean, think about this, Drew. How many relationships have you freaked out over that turned out to be nothing where you could have just enjoyed them? Do you know what I mean?
29:48🔗Adam75, right. I mean, that's my point. Every guy does this. You get some girlfriend, you're 17 years old, she's 16. She slept with one of your buddies from the soccer team before she slept with you. You obsess about it. You have a crappy 18-month relationship where you obsess about her sleeping with one of your buddies and then you break up. Now, the reality is, you probably were going to go off to college somewhere and break up anyway. You might as well just have a good time, you know what I mean? It's like showing up to Disneyland and obsessing over when you have to leave. Just go ride the goddamn Matterhorn and when it's time to go, you go. You come back another day, right?
30:26🔗DrewOh, the relationships for that simplest trip to Disneyland.
30:30🔗AdamBeing with me is not like riding the Matterhorn, by the way.
31:44🔗AdamI call Vicki Vallee and Anna are both here. Vicki works for Children of the Night. Anna is one of the Children of the Night. I guess you could call her a graduate of the program.
32:10🔗GuestWell, they let go of the balloon out in the air and each balloon gets a certain wish.
32:14🔗GuestIt's very emotional. These kids work hard for it.
32:16🔗AdamRight. Not to land in the Sepulveda Basin, I think would be my wish for my balloon. You guys are pretty close to Sepulveda Basin. It's God's country out there, really.
32:27🔗AdamI spent three days looking for a model airplane. I crashed in Weeds about eight feet high. It was good times. I actually brought a ladder down there and set it up so I could see in the middle of this weed field. I was like a conductor at the half time of a football game, leading the band. Anyway.
32:45🔗DrewBecause the Children of the Night program is a 90 day program, which I think is fantastic and it just highlights for me how pathetic the medical system is right now. We have to fight for five days, seven days, ten days to hospitalize people or even to put people in a highly structured environment who have similar histories. And anyone who works with people with these sorts of issues knows, you need a month is sort of minimum, but the world at large, the medical system today will give you like four to eight days with someone.
33:11🔗GuestIt's a benefit of being privately funded and doing it our way.
33:16🔗AdamAll right. Drew is knocking his coffee over. He's so excited. You care too much, Drew. I keep telling you not to care. You do keep. Take some of those sleeping pills. Wash it down with some red wine like I do. You're mellow. You're good unless you're driving. Then you're pissed as hell. That's a different situation. Phone number for any of you out there who may be between the ages of 11 and 17, or maybe an older gent in his 30s with a fake ID. The number is 1-800-551-1300. If you're on the street, if you got a pimp that's turned bad, if you got trouble, if you need a place, this is where you should go, right?
33:54🔗DrewIt's only people who have been involved in prostitution.
33:55🔗GuestThose are the kids that we work with in the shelter.
33:58🔗DrewHow do you establish that that's what they've been doing? Ask them. But I mean, they could lie to get in.
34:04🔗GuestYou can tell real quick. I mean, there's kids, when you're out on the street to...
34:07🔗AdamThat's where my dog comes in. I got dogs that sniff people, you know, know where they've been, you know what I'm saying? Venereal sniffing dogs, every kind of dog. I could have a dog worked up for you guys, worked by the front door.
34:18🔗GuestWe train our people to do that on the hotline, so they're pretty much...
34:21🔗AdamSniff it out on the phone? Nice. And yeah, I guess, plus it's probably not the kind of thing that most people would say they did if they weren't actually doing it. I mean, you probably don't get a whole ton of people claiming...
34:34🔗GuestWe often have to read between the lines. You have a child that has been maybe staying with a 27-year-old man, she's 13, she's...
34:42🔗AdamI'll tell you, you have privately funded places doing great work with the kids, the victim. I like to open my own house called the Adam's House of Hell.
34:57🔗AdamYeah, no, no one would know. I dig a big pit. There are thirties that are keeping an eye on the 13-year-olds down in the pit, and we do an hourly hosing, where I take a fire extinguisher filled with urine and fecal matter, we just spray them every hour. I ring a big cowbell, and I tell a story from my high school days. Like the same high school football story over and over again.
35:20🔗GuestOne of the things we help our kids do is to put these guys in jail. We do a lot of accompanying them to the court, holding their hands.
35:26🔗AdamMoney comes from places like K-Rock radio station, out here the Mother station with shows like the Acoustic Christmas coming up this weekend. How much money can you raise, or will you get from something like this?
35:38🔗GuestYou know, I don't know, but I couldn't tell you.
35:42🔗DrewDoesn't it drive you insane that so little of these issues are heard in the public domain, and yet it's such a massive common...
35:50🔗GuestWe have kids from every socioeconomic class.
35:53🔗DrewBut you're seeing one end of a spectrum that's even larger. You're seeing the tip of the iceberg, really, that's most intense.
36:03🔗AdamIn this country, yes. I mean, you will hear on the news, and with celebrities or not, you'll hear more coverage at 10 hours to every 10 minutes on what they're doing to save the pets, the whales, whatever it is. You see Betty White up there squawking about some sort of shih tzu camp for rehabilitation of her bad hip shih tzus or something. You know what I'm saying? But forget about it.
36:34🔗DrewAnd occasionally you get a little argument of, well, sexual abuse really doesn't exist, but we're just talking about it more.
36:52🔗DrewYeah, I hate facetious. I hope you understand that.
36:55🔗AdamBut that is the consensus. And it's the way, I believe it's a sort of coping mechanism that people have when tragedy strikes other people in order not to...
37:05🔗DrewNo, it's that same sick thing that people have that makes nine-year-olds pick on each other. It really is. We just are awful to people. We trodden people that are dumb.
37:16🔗AdamI know, I know. But when you hear about some tragedy where there's like some gondola in Europe gets hit by an AA-10 and 110 tourists fall to their death, you think to yourself, well, they shouldn't have been going skiing. You have to make it okay somehow so you don't go insane.
37:43🔗AdamAnd all of this stuff, whenever something horrible happens to someone, you have to sort of make it their fault. Because if you didn't emotionally, then it would burden you and you'd have trouble sleeping that night. I really do believe there's a sort of a a human quality that makes stuff people's fault. Then we take all the energy we have saved up from that and we go right to pets. Oh, look, they didn't ask for this. They didn't ask to be born out on the alleys. They don't need this. They're going to be put to sleep. And now we've got too much energy for god damn pets.
38:15🔗DrewAlso, because now we detach from the people, they're not even humans anymore, we can help drive them down.
38:39🔗Hey, first of all I want to say is, Adam, you're the best and I like your, I know you're talking about with the trash man coming to your house at 4 o'clock in the morning.
38:47🔗DrewNo, 6.30. Tomorrow morning. He'll be there at 6.
38:49🔗I always have the backup alarm going every time.
38:51🔗Adam6.18. I've said it a thousand times. I would rather 500,000 kids get ran over a year than me getting woke up by another one of those goddamn beepers. And here's my thing too. You are an asshole. The backup beeper should be three times. All right? If you can't hold your sorry ass out of the way of that dumb truck by the third beep, that's Darwin running you over. That ain't the guy who's driving the truck. I've had guys ship that thing in reverse and just leave it. You know, it'll just stay. They'll be talking on a cell phone. We had a guy park... I know, I go nuts about everything. We're having a meeting in an office once. A guy was pulled up on the street with a semi-truck. He's had it thrown in reverse and then went and got a cup of coffee. We're all sitting around this table, 10 people trying to hash out some comedy thing. The thing we realized, we all looked at each other. After a half hour, this beeping never stopped me to go like breaking into a guy's truck and put it in a neutral. Drives me insane. And by the way, does the beeping have to be so loud that the whole neighborhood hears?
39:48🔗CallerHow about just the guy behind the truck?
39:52🔗DrewWell, you know, don't worry, Adam. They will pick the metal trash cans up and bang it so loud, you won't hear the beeping.
39:57🔗AdamNo, they're plastic now, but it's the beeping. And how many times you got to go in reverse as a garbage man? Don't you just drive forward and pick up trash? What did you forget back there that's so important? All right. Sorry, Will. Yeah. Tomorrow morning, everybody, be by the Corolla house, 6-8, between 6-18, 6-20.
40:14🔗DrewAnd your mailman? They'll be right there.
40:15🔗AdamMailman, be there 5-30 in the evening, drunk. There's a bad attitude. All right. Go ahead, everyone.
40:21🔗All right. So anyways, I was at the Glamis desert last Halloween weekend. And I don't know if you guys know, but it's a pretty big holiday, I guess.
40:51🔗So I was driving my new truck that we just made in my shop, and we were driving down the San Hyder going like 50 or 60, all these, you know, huge woods made to go off-road, and these kids pull out front wheels, little bikes, and so we turned real quick to avoid it, and we rolled the truck like seven times. And part of the roll bar that we put in the truck, like the weekend before, it went right through my girlfriend's lungs and punctured them, and we were like 30 minutes away from like camp. So we had to drive all the way back to camp, and then we waited like 30 minutes for the ambulance to come.
41:25🔗AdamHow can you drive the car after you've rolled it seven times?
41:30🔗I had to stick my head out the window. And I mean, like, it was like the two, when we were done, the two back axles and the two front axles were bent, so the wheels were all...
41:40🔗Yeah, and she was, yeah. So she was, you know, sitting there and, like, that's my last vision I see. And then they, like, they hold me out of the car when we got back to camp, and they, like, like took her, her, and then she died on the ambulance on the way back, like, a 45-minute drive back to the hospital.
42:26🔗Like, now, but now this is bad. I don't think I'm going crazy or something. I know I'm normal, but I'm, like, I'm driving to school, you know, or I'm, like, driving someplace. I'm out in the desert. It's even worse. And, like, I look over at my seat and it's, like, I see something there. And I know I'm not, like, I know she's not there. It's just, like, I get crazed. Or sometimes I see, like, somebody's sitting there with me and they're all freaked out.
42:50🔗I mean, I feel responsible. I constructed the whole truck. I mean, I made the roll bar, everything. I mean, I built it from the ground up and then it killed her. I almost feel like, you know, I need to go take my truck out and just roll it again.
43:16🔗GuestYeah. And I believe, I'm not really into God. I don't know if you are, but personally, I think that my mother is watching over me. She doesn't have to be in heaven. She doesn't have to be anywhere. She's just watching over me. And sometimes I dream about her. Sometimes I'll turn around and she's there. And then I'll double take and she's not there. And I think it's, I think, I may only be 17, but I've been through a lot. And I think that your girlfriend is your, like a guardian over you. And she's trying to tell you that it wasn't your fault. You couldn't have done nothing. You did all that you could. There's nothing else that you could have done. You tried to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. And I think that she wants you to be at peace with yourself and not blame yourself for her death. Because you may have constructed the truck, but you're not the one that put those children in front of your vehicle. Yeah. And I don't know if that's going to make you feel at ease more. But sometimes it happens to me. And I just think that when that happens, your family member or your loved one wants you to be at rest and know that it's not your fault. And that they truly love you.
44:30🔗AdamI don't think she's watching over you personally. But the good news is that's not in a bad way either. You get another girl one day and she's not watching you for five seconds or anything.
44:40🔗GuestHere's the thing about watching over. You're always watching over.
44:46🔗AdamWell, here's the deal. It's a horrible, tragic thing. And there's really not... You can get some therapy time. You know, this is very new for this kind of thing. Very new.
44:58🔗DrewI think he wants to know though about these visions.
45:00🔗No, like she's the only person who brought me away from my bad family and stuff.
45:05🔗AdamBut do you want to know about the visions?
45:08🔗Yeah, I'm like freaking out. I'm like, oh, of course, I'm in San Diego State. I mean, I'm like...
45:11🔗DrewListen, the San Diego State... It's very common, Will. It's very common when there's been a sudden, unexpected death for there to be these sorts of experiences. However, you want to explain them, I can just tell you they're common and they don't necessarily mean there's anything psychiatrically awry, but it does speak to how intense this trauma has been. And that indeed, if you are willing to get a little treatment, get a little therapy, you're going to have a post-traumatic stress disorder from this. Yeah. To be freaking out in regards to be triggered by all sorts of things, have panic attacks, trouble sleeping, and your mood is going to be amassed for a while. That's normal. That's what you expect somebody to happen after they've been through something like this. And there is treatment, and people can't help you with it.
45:53🔗AdamYeah. All right. Well, that's it. I mean, you sound like, hey, here's the good news. For someone who's been through what you've been through so recently, You're still laughing. You sound amazingly intact. You just, but nobody...
46:13🔗AdamAll right, well, listen, you gotta get a little therapy. You gotta work with this. But the fact that you see her everywhere, that's completely normal. That's okay.
46:21🔗AdamYeah. It's like, you know, when you... It's fresh on his mind.
46:25🔗DrewIt just... These are extremely intense experiences. And naturally, there will be an intense fallout.
46:32🔗AdamAll right. We're gonna take ourselves a little break. When we come back, we'll speak to Rick, who's 19, had sex with girl, and then they had sex, and then they had sex. What? She, uh... Oh, she pooped in the bed. There we go. Fantastic. After this.
46:48🔗CallerLoveline will be right back. Call on the 1-800-LOVE-191.
46:52🔗CallerThere's no need to be upset. Loveline will be right back.
47:25🔗AdamYeah, I like this song. What group is this? Oh, Offspring, that's a good band, that Offspring. They put those riffs together, that Offspring. Nice guys.
47:39🔗DrewSo far, I heard Kevin Bean talking about them almost destroying the venue for the Acoustic Christmas two years ago when they played.
47:48🔗DrewThey said it was the Universal or something. They said it was the Shrine. It almost brought the whole damn balcony down.
47:54🔗AdamYeah. Yeah. No, that was the Shrine. Yeah. People were bouncing up on that thing. Yeah. I was scared we were going to lose some teenagers. Fine, though. Good riddance.
48:03🔗AdamPhone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. It's Loveline Tonight. Speaking of music and venues, we got a little thing called the Acoustic Christmas coming up this weekend on the Mother Station. The Mother of All Stations, by the way. K-Rock. Number one in Los Angeles is K-Rock. English speaking. Number 27 overall. Number one. There's 14 Armenian stations and 16 Hispanic speaking stations above them. But still number one in the English speaking stations. And tonight we have as a guest some of the folks from Children of the Night. And that's where the proceeds of this concert are going to. And when I say proceeds, I mean proceeds. $48.50 a ticket? Jesus Christ.
48:47🔗DrewIn addition, there's a band called 8 Stop 7. Is that the other band? And the proceeds from their CD are actually entirely going to Children of the Night, which is an organization, a residential program for treating young 11 to 17 year olds with history of having been out on the street and prostitution.
49:03🔗AdamAnd let me say this about this, for those of you who wanna donate some money to this. Every penny, it's like you donate a dime and you get back a dollar. I mean, if you take a look at where a lot of these kids are going, most of them, if you, yeah, a lot in jail, at least ain't paying taxes. I mean, there's trouble here. You know what I'm saying? We should get behind this. Forget about from a compassion standpoint, just pure monetary, just from a purely monetary standpoint, we should get behind stuff like this, right?
49:37🔗Guest80% of the kids that we work with stay off the streets.
50:08🔗GuestNow, this is Ace Top 7 CD. It's a great opportunity for kids to help kids because it's only $1.99. You can purchase it at any Tower Records until January. You can purchase it on the website at towerrecords.com.
50:20🔗DrewWe're going to play a song for the next hour, I think, too.
50:23🔗AdamBuck 99. It's worth it just to throw it for Buck 99. I'll pay Buck 99 just like I throw it at somebody.
50:55🔗AdamYeah, I did the math there. The other two are trolls, huh? No. Well, they all look good as opposed to the pictures Drew and I take. Oh, or we all look bad. All right. Let's hop on the phones.
51:15🔗CallerExcellent. I had a crazy night last night. I was hanging out with a girl and we started having sex. She had to get up and go to the bathroom real quick, which was fine, comes back, same thing happens. She needs to go again and comes back a third time and we start having sex again. You know, it's getting more heated and I start smelling something, right? Well, you know where this is going. You explained it before the commercial. It was smelling like crap. Yeah. And so I excuse myself, come back in a little bit and she's like, yeah, well, I guess I should go. You know, it was kind of like she knew what happened. I don't know.
52:20🔗AdamOkay, see you, Rick. What do you mean, sure? I don't care if he's making it up or not. I don't like that sure answer. Well, the problem with everyone who calls this show who's bogus is they say a lot of nonsensical things like, I met this girl, she crapped a bed, so it's like I smelled something, so I picked up and left. Okay, how do you know her? She's my girlfriend. So you picked up and left? Well, we didn't know each other that long. These guys would be horrible. I mean, a cop could get them to confess that murders they weren't even the same country for. It's really, it's one of the cornerstones of being stupid, Drew.
53:25🔗CallerThe question is about orgasm. Okay. Where exactly does the like gusher orgasm, you know, all the fluid that, you know, the real orgasm, For men or for male or female? For female.
54:00🔗CallerYeah, sure. I mean, it's really neat. It's just that-
54:03🔗DrewThere are a whole series of glands down there that the Scheme's glands and Bartholome's gland and whatnot that produce fluid and the glands in the walls of the vagina. They all have potential to produce fluid that can be released.
54:13🔗CallerAnd so it just produces the fluid and it's just-
54:56🔗AdamAll right. Now I'm going to hell for a fifth time. All right, Mia. Good luck with that novelty vagina of yours, all right? All right, thank you. All right, good times. We're going to take ourselves a little break. We'll be back. See all them words I squeezed in, and that little pause?
55:42🔗GuestJust the right. Yeah, yeah. Coming at you. We got a fine, oh, I see, we got a 50,000 watt flamethrower, Westwood One, live and nationwide. Rocking the MIC every night. There we go. I shot my wad for the rest of the year.
56:05🔗AdamChildren of the Night is what we're talking about tonight. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-DREW. Didn't I give a no salsa announcement?
56:14🔗AdamHomemade. We had a wonderful listeners come in and bring us some confection. Children of the Night is what we're talking about. Phone number, if you're between the ages of 11 and 17 and are in the field of well, prostitution, male or female out on the street or with a pimp or running away from home and want to know how to get some help, this is the number to call 1-800-551-1300. 1-800-551-1300. We're having a big concert out here in Los Angeles for the Mother Station K-Rock this weekend, the acoustic Christmas and the proceeds will be going to the Children of the Night. Vicki Balet is here tonight and Anna, who's one of the graduates, have you graduated yet or are you going to graduate?
57:07🔗GuestMy three month anniversary, usually we only stay there for three months, but my three month anniversary was a month ago.
57:56🔗AdamListen, prostitution is no stigma, but going to community college, having that on your permanent record, that'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
58:06🔗AdamBelieve me. Or your husband finds out you went to community college. That may be a deal breaker. All right. So now I'm interested in this test. A GED will give you sort of the equivalent kind of thing, but you don't...
58:20🔗GuestIn California, you have to be close to 18. It must be your 18th birthday to take the GED. It's five different tests, and it works. It's a high school diploma.
58:27🔗AdamDo you take five different tests or do you get one of five?
58:29🔗GuestBut the CHSPE kind of doesn't have the stigma that the GED. GED you take when you couldn't make it in high school. The CHSPE was, I believe, originally started for acting kids that wanted to not have to have a tutor on the set. So it's a little bit different of a test.
59:09🔗GuestWe have a school in the shelter, and part of what we do is teach these kids to pass with some of these tests so they can actually finish high school or at least get up to whatever level they need to so they can move on.
59:18🔗AdamWow. So, Anna, you're going to do that. You're going to take all that. You get into your computer program, and then pow, you're successful. You're out on your own taking care of business. Yes. God love you. That's beautiful. And where are you living now? You said you're...
59:47🔗GuestWell, for me, I don't have a lot of family to go to, and my dad isn't really... I mean, he just got out of prison, so can't go to his house.
1:00:12🔗GuestNo, it wasn't, no, I only did that for survival. It wasn't because I wanted to pimp or because I wanted the money. A lot of the money that I got, I spent on other people, not necessarily myself. I spent the money on food, clothing, and a place to live. And the rest, once I spent on $300 on a little boy's birthday party, a neighbor's birthday party because his parents couldn't buy him anything. So not all of the money went to me.
1:00:42🔗GuestThe fast money goes as fast as they make it, so they can never have anything to show for it.
1:00:47🔗AdamYeah, that's why my family always told me, make the slow money. Make the glacier type money. If you can get a nickel an hour, that's much better than a hundred an hour. You won't spend it so fast.
1:00:59🔗GuestParticularly when you've been turning tricks to get it, it's you want it out of your hand, the memory is just, you want that out of your hand as quickly as...
1:01:05🔗AdamThat's interesting. And yeah, and well also, when you're 15 years old, then you got a few hundred bucks. I imagine you could go through that pretty quick.
1:01:14🔗GuestThe majority of our kids are turning that money over to a pimp. Very few of these kids get to keep even a penny of it. I mean, the pimp refers to it as his money, his hairspray, his everything.
1:01:28🔗AdamSo you didn't have that situation. All right. Drew, are you still with your pimp or are you guys part ways?
1:01:33🔗GuestI just personally, I can't see myself or anybody else getting the crap beat out of them for money that they didn't make or they did make and they spent it on something. When they did the work, they went out and did it. And some, some.
1:02:10🔗GuestHi. OK. Well, I'm 20 and I'm a virgin. And I actually met you guys last night when when Mika was there as part of her little entourage. But basically, I was.
1:02:33🔗AdamI'm trying to figure out this. Minka brought in with her an entourage last night, which were her boobs. But then there were people, too, who came. And there was her husband, right?
1:03:41🔗AdamAnd, jeez, he barely had an accent. I didn't know he was in the jewelry. I thought you had to have a strong Middle Eastern accent to be in the jewelry industry.
1:03:49🔗AdamNo, okay. All right, so where did you get that? Jeez, she's driving a $50,000 car.
1:03:54🔗GuestI bought it myself, actually. Not turning tricks like other people, but I've worked my entire life there after school and commissions and things. I mean, basically, instead of concentrating on boys, I've turned my stuff toward school and work and friends. And so I'm just sort of wondering how I can now sort of open myself up and allow myself to actually have a real connection with the male figure. My mom is my best friend and I moved with her until I was 18 and then I moved out on my own.
1:04:25🔗AdamAll right. So you're still working with your dad, right?
1:04:28🔗GuestNo, no, my father does other things now. I work with my mom. She owns the store.
1:05:41🔗AdamYeah. It's not working. He's not going to last in that stone business. I'll tell you that right now. All right. So in you, let's- let me just talk about your cup size for just one second. What size is that up there?
1:06:03🔗AdamNo, no. You're convex. Don't worry. But you hanging around with those other girls, people kind of do the math. You understand? They figure you're running with that crowd. You're in that industry.
1:06:15🔗GuestI mean, people think my dad and I date. Like when we go to dinners and things, it's very strange. Like a girl's come up to our table and been like, oh my god, you know, what are you doing? You're kidding on me.
1:06:29🔗AdamOkay, so you want to know how to have a relationship with a guy basically?
1:06:34🔗GuestIt's time. I'm 20. It's like, I think, my friends have boyfriends. It's something I think is completely necessary, but I know that I'm totally closed off.
1:06:43🔗DrewWell, not only are you closed off, but the more important thing is how do we prevent you from sort of going after dad when you decide to open up?
1:06:56🔗DrewBut inadvertently, you're going to sort of pick someone who might treat you in a similar way.
1:07:01🔗AdamWhat kind of guys have you been attracted to in the past?
1:07:05🔗GuestI won't even allow myself to. When I have, it's been...
1:07:10🔗DrewWhat is it you feel when you start to open yourself up?
1:07:13🔗GuestI don't even think I even let it get to that point. I think I just sort of freak out. I've never really been on a date date. I have a lot of close friends.
1:07:21🔗GuestYeah, I am. I know. I know. I've kissed six people in my life.
1:07:27🔗AdamHold on. Hold on a second. Anne, you were here last night. Producer Anne, you know who we're talking about, right? She has a big rack sticking out of the sweater. Then I talked to her last night. We're leaving and she goes, A, this place over on Las Palmas is really going off. Hugh Hefner is going to be there. I'm going to go there and party. It's like 1230 at night. I say, I got to go home crying, masturbating. Not in that order. And then I see her pulling out of the parking lot in a convertible Porsche right after I pull out. And I'm thinking, okay, I take the Porsche. I take the rack. I take the Hugh Hefner party on a Tuesday, Wednesday night. And I think to myself, okay, just like a porn star or something. I see her dad and like Minka's manager and everything. I got like porn star. I would have bet 100 bucks on a porn star.
1:08:49🔗GuestBecause he started having affairs with these.
1:08:52🔗AdamAnd what age were you when that happened?
1:08:55🔗GuestI was pretty much about 14 when he went through his change of life.
1:08:59🔗DrewSee, what that could do is make her fearful of relationships.
1:09:04🔗AdamI understand that, but if things were hunky-dory, parents were together, family business and all that, zero to 14, you think that would have been enough to get her a few dates and not freak her out so much.
1:09:15🔗DrewYou would think, but still remember this is mom and dad.
1:09:18🔗GuestI was really fat and ugly when I was young.
1:09:45🔗DrewYes, if you have the inclination. Because we're not getting... Some things need to be sorted out here. And you're not getting at them, and we're not getting at them.
1:09:53🔗AdamTalk about an untapped resource with this one. Jesus Christ, some guy's gonna get a grubby pause on you and he's never gonna let go. And listen, once you go, you're going out in a big way. That's what I think.
1:10:04🔗AdamI think once she opens the floodgates, that's it. Yeah, I say, I think she's a virgin until 20. She's gonna sleep with one guy, she's gonna sleep with 100 guys in the first week. Maybe 200. That's what I say.
1:10:48🔗GuestNo, I'm sorry, Adam, you're very hysterical. I listen to the show every day.
1:10:50🔗AdamI know, but don't I look, I look okay, right?
1:10:53🔗GuestYeah, you're cute. You're a much more handsome person than I am.
1:10:56🔗AdamHandsome, she's more handsome. Thank you, thank you. Because you get the funny thing, and it really sounds like they're dodging something there. You attracted me? You're funny. That doesn't sound like a compliment. All right, baby.
1:11:08🔗GuestI'm going to have my first relationship with Adam Carolla.
1:11:10🔗AdamYeah, good times. Yeah. I'll tell you what we'll do. You come over to my house, you can watch me wait to die. That's the way I work my relationship. That's where you live.
1:11:44🔗AdamOff the air? Oh, my God. Drew, did you see the rack? Excuse me, girls. I mean, I couldn't believe she wasn't. I thought she was part of the big boob entourage. She was like a burlap sack full of bobcats. That's how she was built, that one. Crazy, but virgin. Never, never would have guessed in a billion years. All right, ready to move forward here? You're getting paid, sure?
1:12:13🔗CallerHi, how are you? Good. I got a couple of questions, but I'll just start with a little story. I'm 25. I'm married for already two years. I have a one-year-old daughter already. And ever since my wife gave birth, I guess I don't know if it's mentally a problem or physically a problem. She just doesn't have any more sex drive.
1:13:17🔗AdamAbout a year ago. And how is she with you? Is she like you?
1:13:21🔗CallerYeah, very much. I mean, we have sex maybe twice a month, maybe once a month. That's really bad. But what we do, I mean, she really likes it.
1:13:48🔗DrewSometimes getting on birth control after the pregnancy can sort of kickstart things again. And sometimes it's the stress of being a mom. Sometimes it's the symbolic meaning of being a mom. There's all kinds of things that change after a child enters your lives.
1:14:11🔗AdamYeah, but listen, Pete, you've got to change your angle of attack here. You know what I mean?
1:14:17🔗CallerI've got a really big problem because I'm going to work every day. I mean, no matter where I am, I'm all the time horny. I can't stop thinking about it. I mean, I masturbate maybe three or four times a day.
1:14:28🔗AdamIt's a little light. I like to see you get that up to five or six, but that's a different problem for people.
1:15:09🔗AdamNo, you do this during the day. Where do you go in your car during the day? Do you get that kind of privacy? Just park in a tunnel or something?
1:15:16🔗CallerNo, I got a big car and I got tinted windows.
1:16:29🔗AdamPut you down for molestation. I got the 19th open. You free between 10 and noon for a little molestation?
1:16:37🔗CallerI'm 120, 100, 200 percent sure that she wasn't.
1:16:41🔗AdamYou're 200 percent? Okay, as opposed to five or six hundred percent? Seems a little light to me. All right, because once you get over 100 percent, it goes to a thousand percent.
1:17:00🔗AdamYou know, the thing I like, I love as much as 110 percent or 200 percent is literally, this guy scared me. I literally jumped 25 feet in the air. Literally, literally. I literally jumped out of my skin. Literally. It's like, wait a minute, hold on. Literally? Yes, literally out of my skin. So you then, you shot out from your skin, and so you say, literally, literally jumped out of my skin. Literally. Yeah, see now, see when you, you can't do that with literally, can you?
1:17:31🔗AdamWell, I guess you can do a hundred, 200% you can do literally. We'll be right back. Pete's gotta be nice to her, and she's gotta go to gynecologist.
1:17:38🔗DrewAnd we're gonna play a song from 8 to top 7 after this.
1:17:43🔗CallerLoveline will be right back, so get your problems ready.
1:17:46🔗GuestRight now you're enjoying Loveline on 94.7 at RK with the Rock Alternative.
1:17:52🔗GuestI'm terribly sorry, but it's not a door, I'm sure.
1:18:19🔗AdamYep, Loveline, I'm Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew over there, phone number 1-800-L-V-E-1-9-1. Tonight, we're talking to a couple of folks from Children of the Night, a very worthy charity, which is going to be the recipient of some money that we're going to raise this weekend over here in the Mother Station, KROQ out here in Los Angeles, the big weenie roast, sorry, acoustic Christmas concert, and all the proceeds are going to Children of the Night, and how's that work? Who'd you guys beat out? Do you have to make a... Vicki, do you go out and try to raise funds, obviously?
1:18:56🔗GuestWell, our executive director and founder, her entire time at this point has spent fundraising and trying to make sure we can stay open, so I think we just have a lot of friends.
1:19:06🔗AdamAnd they approached KROQ, though, obviously.
1:19:10🔗GuestI don't believe so. I think someone called us. Really?
1:19:29🔗AdamWe get the money. That's better. I'm going to get drunk and make an ass of myself. I got to cope. You know, those on stages when we announce the band, I can't take that big crowd. I can take something to knock the edge off a little bit.
1:19:45🔗AdamYeah, be like Silence of the Lambs. All right, this is a band we're going to play now. I have no idea who this band is, but I'll tell you, this band, all the proceeds that they raise, or at least some of the proceeds.
1:20:15🔗AdamA very, very worthy cause. And like I said, Buck 99. For Buck 99, it's worth it just to get your hands on the jacket, just so you can put other CDs in it, right? Because you know there's ears that we're supposed to cut off. But let's give it a listen. This is 8 Stop 7. Wow, that was good.
1:25:00🔗AdamThat's good. 8 Stop 7 is the name of the band, and you can get the CD where, Vicki?
1:25:05🔗GuestAt any Tower Records until January, or you can order it online at towerrecords.com.
1:25:11🔗AdamFor a very, very worthy cause, you get some good music and you give the money to the right people instead of those pimps who run the record companies. Right, Drew? Otherwise known as the man?
1:25:23🔗AdamQuestion everything is the name of that again, 8 Stop 7 and all the money. Is it $1.99? That's a chump change, especially for me because you know I'm a millionaire. Literally.
1:27:46🔗AdamAll right. So anyway, listen, God bless you for being gay and not having any kids. You know, I wish the whole family would go gay. And do you think you need to, is now the time to sit mom down and tell her?
1:28:00🔗GuestWell, I don't know if now would be a good time because holidays are coming. Things are really tight for her right now. And her mom's like almost dying. Like, you know, she's really sick.
1:28:09🔗AdamLet her mom die. Or you go over there and kill her so you can tell her you're gay. But why don't you let her get through mom and in that process.
1:28:18🔗DrewAnd she's only two years out from her husband leaving, right?
1:29:25🔗GuestWell, I mean, like, we drove up to my mom's house on a motorcycle.
1:29:29🔗AdamOkay. Your mom's got probably a pretty decent idea. How do you carry those golf clubs on that motorcycle? You got like a trailer or something?
1:29:38🔗AdamNo. All right. Well, your mom knows. And listen, I do think you should tell her, and I'll say why. We tell a lot of people on this show not to tell their parents. I don't like the idea of talking to your parents, really, about anything. I don't think that's a good idea. But we have a lot of people call this show, they're 15, 16 years old, they want to tell everyone at school they're gay, and we tell them, listen, you're in for a rocky few years. People are going to find out about this. Why don't you just tell them you crapped your pants, or you're still wet your bed or something. The kids are going to pick up on this, they're liable to beat you up.
1:30:12🔗DrewDon't chance it. But here, this is an adult, who's, because of it being a secret, is actually having her life affected by it.
1:30:18🔗AdamRight, this is an adult, and if she was single, I would say, no, don't burden your mom with this. Why bother? She just got divorced.
1:30:25🔗DrewShe also wouldn't be affected by it so much.
1:30:27🔗AdamLet her bury her mom. But if you're in a relationship, you're in love, you got the matching tattoos, you want to bring her over for the holidays, now it's time to sell her. So I'll go for that. Go ahead and tell her. Liz? Yes. And plus, her pulling up on a hog with a buzz cut looking like Sergeant Carter from Go More Pile. She probably got a pretty good idea.
1:30:52🔗AdamThat's her favorite Pile, that favorite Sergeant Carter comedy. Pile, under no circumstances do you let anyone pass this guard gate. Do you hear me, Pile? Yes, sir, Sergeant Carter.
1:31:04🔗AdamIf you don't have an ID card, nobody gets on the other side of this gate. All right, Sergeant Carter, nobody gets on the other side of this gate. Fast forward five minutes. I got a hot date with Bunny Pile, I left my wallet in the back. Do you have your ID? It's in my wallet, Pile. Sorry, sir, you cannot get past this gate.
1:31:56🔗AdamRight. Liz? Pile out there. Vicki? I mean Liz, sorry. What's up?
1:32:02🔗I have a question. I recently came in contact with the guy that I lost my virginity to. And he just happened to be coming back down to where I'm from. And so we ended up hanging out that day and everything and accidentally making out and stuff like that. And then he invited me to go over and visit him in New York and everything.
1:32:23🔗DrewYou know, almost no matter where it goes from here, the fact that it was an accidental make out suggests to me this relationship is flawed. You know what I mean? Whenever people are giving in to attractions that run counter to their instincts, which is what you're saying. It was like, I shouldn't have done it, but accidentally it did. Forget it. Stop. Stop right there.
1:32:41🔗I don't want a relationship with this guy.
1:33:01🔗AdamLiz, you don't want to go to New York?
1:33:05🔗CallerWell, I do want to go. I just don't want him to...
1:33:06🔗AdamYou go to New York, he nails you in the airport. Really? Absolutely. In one of those lockers. What happened to the lockers? Hold on a second.
1:33:16🔗AdamI know, but there used to be... We talk about humor. There used to be a lot of locker humor. Hands coming out, like you opening a locker, hand coming out, handing you something. A lot of stuff in movies being stashed in the airport locker. Remember that? Where's the ransom money? It's in the airport locker. Where are the incriminating pictures? Where are the documents?
1:34:36🔗AdamThat is Anna. She is one of the graduates of Children of the Night, a very worthy group that K-Rock, the mother station out here, is going to give a little money to, and other people give money to, and it's, like I said, it's all going to a good cause. They take children who, well, people between the age of 11 and 17. Why those ages? 18, you're an adult, and under 11?
1:35:01🔗GuestWe got a license to run a group home just so that we could be legitimate and above board, and they're the ones that set those age limits.
1:35:23🔗AdamThat hotline number is 1-800-551-1300. 1-800-551-1300. You can call that anywhere around the country.
1:35:33🔗GuestAnywhere around the country, including Vancouver, Canada, up a little higher, and 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
1:35:39🔗AdamAnd they really, Anna has been through the program, and Anna really got you back up on your feet, right?
1:35:47🔗GuestYeah, it did a lot. I look back at a lot of my journals and see how far I've come, actually, in four months. It's amazing. I mean, even Vicki can tell you, at first, I didn't care.
1:36:08🔗AdamBut there you go. Probation officer. How much do you think? I, like I said, just from a pure monetary standpoint, what does it cost, judges, cops, probation officers, the whole crime? That's a great example. Crime, drugs.
1:36:21🔗GuestI'm working that system, though. She was in foster care through the Department of Children's Services in another state. And they didn't do anything for me. She ran away from 30-something different programs, and they didn't know what else to do with her. So they called us, and they actually, we flew her in from Nevada.
1:36:34🔗GuestAt first, they told me that I couldn't go there because I was in Child Protective Services. And so the lady that was working with me that is now my probation officer said, well, I'm going to go to the judge, tell him I need to put you on probation so that you could come here, come to California for the Children of the Night program and terminate GCFS custody. If that wouldn't ever happened, I would have still been doing the same things that I've done. Basically, that system failed me. They didn't work on the things that I needed to work on. They didn't help me in any way. They just continued the process of losing me in the system.
1:37:14🔗AdamYeah. Yeah. And listen, as I've said many a time, it's like you can pay now or you can pay down the road. And when you pay down the road, it's going to be with a lot of interest. And that's why we need to help groups like this. You can go out and get the CD from 8Stop7, Question Everything, Buck99. Got it. Did you say Tower?
1:37:34🔗GuestTower Records has donated the counter space to keep that up. And also their website. Good.
1:37:42🔗AdamIt's just, you know, for the... I got to go to a quick speech here. For those of you who... Those of you, the goddamn liberals who want the government to handle everything, this is what happens when the government handles everything. We get... everyone gets lost in the shuffle. Way too much money gets spent on nothing. You get industry involved here. You get these people like K-Rock and Tower Records. You get these bands like 8Stop7 and Warner Brothers. You get these people that come together. They know how to get stuff done. You want to go to the government and get something done. Get in line. Bunch of retards over there getting paid way too much and no one can ever get fired. You think they're going to get anything done? Go down to DMV. Go down to the Department of Building Safety, which is sadly very close to where you live, and see how much you get stuff done over there. Go get in line. You want to get something done. You go to K-Rock. You go to Tower Records. You go to Warner Brothers. You go wherever. These people, the reason, you know they get stuff done. That's how they got their business. That's how come they are what they are. And they get it done. And I'd like to see more of that.
1:38:43🔗DrewAnd also, the private sector allows a lot more flexibility so you can actually do what needs to be done.
1:38:48🔗AdamWell, it's not just one big ball of red tape where everyone's shuffling their feet trying to kill time before they can go take a lunch break.
1:38:56🔗DrewA lot of arbitrary rules are put on it. You can only keep a kid for two weeks because, after all, we have a limit of resource bar. These 90 days, they get treatment here.
1:39:03🔗GuestAnd if they need longer, we can keep them longer. It's completely individually based.
1:39:07🔗AdamYeah. I'd like to sponsor one kid. Could I do that? Just pick one kid. I make them wear a sweatshirt with my name on it. I pay for the one kid. Come by the house, do a little yard work, something like that. Learn about work.
1:39:19🔗GuestWe estimate that it costs about $5,000 to get a child off the streets and get them through our program. So you could sponsor them that way.
1:39:25🔗AdamIf the kid could do roofing or something, I could see doing that. I could talk to my accountants, see what's the write-off.
1:39:29🔗DrewThat is nothing compared to what incarceration costs.
1:39:31🔗AdamWell, listen, you want to know where the government pays for a toilet seat that you could go to Home Depot and get for $9.99? Now, factor that in with kids. Use the same math. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure $5,000 is $35,000.
1:39:45🔗GuestI think what failed me in the beginning, though, is when I was 12 years old and I finally got taken away from an abusive stepfather. They put me in a mental hospital and they told me because my mother committed suicide when I was 7 years old that I had a 35% chance that I would. So they locked me up in a mental hospital. That's when I was 12 years old. I think that's when the system began to fail me even worse. I think that's what messed up me more mentally and emotionally than anything ever that has happened in my life.
1:40:17🔗AdamIt's failing you in a direct way, but it's failing in an indirect way. The people, the taxpayers that fund the system and the people that are impacted by the activities of the people who have been failed by the system, whether it be crime, drugs, prostitution, whatever is going on in their neighborhood. They're not feeling it firsthand like you felt it, but indirectly they're feeling it too. I know my ass hurts from paying 500 grand worth of taxes last year.
1:40:40🔗GuestWhen I was in there, they used to tell me to feel, to express your feelings, but then like on my birthday, my baby sister was supposed to come see me and I was locked up in a mental hospital and I was crying. They were trying to force me to take meds.
1:41:15🔗AdamCan you get me some of that? You don't feel on those?
1:41:18🔗GuestThey drug you up so bad, a lot of the times they'll over drug you to where you sleep all day, you don't remember anything, you don't feel at all. And it just makes it worse because when you come off the drugs, you're feeling all of that and it overwhelms you even more. Right.
1:41:38🔗AdamWe got to take ourselves a break. Merry Christmas, everybody. Take them, take them serotonin reuptake inhibitors and we'll be back after this.
1:41:50🔗CallerThis evening, Loveline is presented by Car Toys right here on 94.7 NRK, The New Rock Alternative.
1:42:08🔗CallerThis is Brendan from Weedis, and you're listening to Loveline on 947 NRK.
1:42:16🔗AdamYeah, there we go. Alright everybody, here's the number you call if you're between 11 and 17 and you've got some problems around on the street and into prostitution, and God knows what else. 1-800-551-1300, 1-800-551-1300. I want to thank Vicki and Anna for coming in here from Children of the Night, a very worthy cause.
1:42:38🔗AdamAnd I want to thank Lauren for doing a great job on the phones and lead coffee. I want to thank producer Ann for really doing a great job all week booking and getting us all lined up with our tickets and helping us out. And of course, the ever changing colored haired one. Known is engineer Anderson, who's putting in big weeks over there at the junior college and doing a wonderful job over here in the real school of life. So, until next time, this is Adam Crawford, Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
