1:25🔗VoiceoverI'm Adam Corolla. That's Dr. Drew. Or is it the picture of Dorian Gray? Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew is a board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Dr. Bruce is in the house, although he's not in the studio.
1:45🔗DrewHe's doing laser treatments to everybody.
1:48🔗I've had anal sex and I've passed out a couple of times.
1:52🔗AdamYes, he reveals many intimate details of his personal life when he fills in for Dr. Drew whenever Dr. Drew is changing. Excuse me, chasing change across the countries he's known to do. All right, so Drew just had a little laser shot around the eye area.
3:16🔗DrewNow he said you have to repeat it in two weeks and again every month for four. I'm already out. Yes, Bruce. Go ahead, Bruce.
3:23🔗After a couple of treatments, you can generally tell. So at the end of the first month, depending on the level of wrinkling, the depth of the wrinkles, it's great for fine wrinkles and shrinking pore size. What are you laughing at? I had anal sex and I passed out a couple of times.
3:52🔗CallerI was just kind of chilling out, so I get ready to wind it down for the night.
3:55🔗I'm on the East Coast side right now. Just calling to do a little philosophical discussion so I can see what y'all think about chivalry being so underappreciated or, for that matter, overrated amongst ladies.
4:08🔗AdamOK, well, his line is bad, so I'll put him on hold and he can listen in. Chivalry, Drew?
4:15🔗DrewYeah, of course it is. And any guy that calls in with a question about chivalry, underneath that is, why do women crap on nice guys? That's what motivates his call.
4:24🔗AdamHere's the thing about chivalry. Women do want it, but they want it from the guys who don't want to give it up, not the guy who hands it out for free.
4:34🔗DrewThat's right. It's like they want a wild animal that they want sort of behaving properly.
4:39🔗AdamThe guy they want them to send the flowers is the guy who doesn't send the flowers. The guy that went to open the car door and pull out the chair at the restaurant is the guy who doesn't do that. If you start that on date number one and carry that into the first three months of the relationship, it'll be forgotten about. You'll just be that guy. There'll be no training. And what women want to do is not necessary. It's not the action that they want. It's breaking the man of his spirit, therefore getting the action that he doesn't want to give. It's not so much that they want it. It's that he doesn't want to do it and does it anyway.
5:15🔗DrewBut slavery is quite well accepted. Women appreciate that.
5:34🔗AdamHere's what it is. Cologne smells good, right? Okay. So should you bathe in it? No, too much. Just a little spritz. I like to put a little dab on my finger and put it right behind each ear, right on the neck there, Drew. You're gay.
6:42🔗DrewThe bacteria love wet environments, sort of fungus, okay? And the smell comes from bacteria, usually. So you got to let that area get really dry. I mean, literally, I take a hair dryer.
6:55🔗DrewYeah. But you take a handheld hair dryer and just dry it off with the skin pulled back, and then that's it. It should heal up and keep it real clean regularly, all right?
7:07🔗AdamYou got to dry it off real good. Hit it with the hair dryer. And if your mom catches you, tell her you're styling your pubes, all right? Okay?
7:15🔗DrewShe'll be proud then, instead of shocked.
7:17🔗AdamYeah. All right. All right. You ever part your pubes, Drew?
7:32🔗CallerYes. Well, I've been dating this guy for two years, and we live together, and recently, like the past three months, he has really started to get on my nerves, and it's turned to a point where I don't even love him anymore.
8:03🔗CallerWell, a month ago, but the two months before that, nobody really, I mean, he's just a hypochondriac and I mean, I didn't notice this until about three months ago.
8:33🔗AdamThis is messy. No, no, no. You know what's bizarre about this? Is the guy, Crystal, what's your boyfriend's name? Josh. Josh. Totally oblivious. He's been together for two years. He's on cruise control. He's on autopilot. You guys have been living together. He thinks everything is cool. He would tell his buddies right now, yeah, sure, we argue about who does the dishes every once in a while, but everything's great. Probably going to get married in another year and a half. Then you drop the bomb on him, tell him you're not into it, you want to break up. He starts spazzing out, so you soften it a little. Look, I just need a little time to clear my head.
9:27🔗DrewNo, stop it. Just stop it. You're just seeing who he is now. You're just waking up out of your stupor.
9:32🔗AdamHere's what happens. Now, he goes, all right, all right, whatever. Get your head together. I'm going to move in with my folks for a couple of weeks. Then it's like four days later, he hears from one of his buddies, yeah, she's dating Stu. In this guy's, he's mesmerized, he's baffled. He's like, we just broke up. She started dating a new dude.
9:52🔗DrewI mean broke up, she just said she needed her space. She loves me, she loves me, right?
10:06🔗AdamI've only jacked off 11 times since we've been broken up. But here's what it is, boys, especially when you're dealing with a 20-year-old woman. The reason she dropped the hammer on you is because there's someone else. She's not technically cheating, she's not done anything with the other guy yet, but there's an unspoken agreement. Which is out with the old and in with the new.
11:01🔗DrewYeah, I know. But you got to be an adult. You've got to you've got to just start the ball rolling and it's going to be messy. And you just got to plunge in.
11:10🔗CallerWell, I don't know, because I mean, it used to be OK. It used to be when we fight, he's, oh, I'm leaving. And I'd like beg him to stay. But then last time I didn't. And it totally freaked him out. So now he's being super nice. And I just know that as soon as I give in, OK, he's just going to be a dick again.
11:27🔗DrewWell, forget that even. Once you tell him you want to leave, it's going to be drama city.
12:05🔗AdamOh, baby. Good times. Working around all that wood. Oh, I see. Well, now, what are you going to do when you break up with him and you're working in the same plant?
12:15🔗CallerOh, that's the whole deal. It's like I see, dude, I just recently started working there.
12:33🔗CallerWell, see, Josh does the doors and he does the windows.
12:35🔗AdamHe's in the sash department. Interesting. Yeah. Those guys already have it out for each other. You know, the door guys and the window guys, they're like the Army and the Navy.
13:12🔗CallerWell, I'm good and everything. It's just this last weekend. I had sex with my boyfriend and I had finished my period on like Thursday or Friday-ish, somewhere around there. I can't remember. Tonight, I noticed that whenever I've had to go to the bathroom, it feels like I have to go to the bathroom a lot and I don't. I just, I-
13:49🔗DrewYeah. It's just the degree of inflammation in the bladder. You've got to get that taken care of. I mean, it's possible there are other things too, but it needs to be looked at.
13:55🔗CallerWell, my boyfriend had had an infection, like a stomach infection or something.
14:00🔗DrewNo. This is just from the bacteria being pushed up into your bladder while you're having sex.
14:05🔗AdamI'll tell you, once women hit puberty, they never stop bleeding. They just never stop. That's what I've learned from this show. I mean, a guy, you bleed, hey, you've earned it. Playing a little basketball, caught a fingernail, fine, you're bleeding. You dump your dirt bike, you're bleeding. Women just never stop and for no reason.
14:24🔗DrewWell, their soul is slowly seeping from them. Once they get a kid, it goes in that direction.
14:30🔗AdamThey just never stop bleeding. If it's not their period, it's some infection. If it's not that, something is, you know, they got some kind of tumor or some kind of pallop or something is putting pressure on something. Do women have pallops?
15:06🔗CallerOkay. This is a long story, but I'll try to make it as short as possible. Okay. I've been in a relationship for three years and two months. One year and seven months ago, when he moved here, it was an out of state relationship, long distance. And he started hitting me. Yeah.
15:30🔗DrewI was going to pull my wallet out for her before she told me that piece.
15:33🔗AdamAnd hit her with it or you want to gamble?
16:39🔗AdamAll right. And you want to end this relationship?
16:42🔗CallerThe thing is he hasn't called in three days. He said he wants to show me his lesson and that when I get my head out of my, you know what, not to call him.
18:13🔗CallerI've never had any other person in my life.
18:16🔗DrewYeah, you don't have to put up with this. Let us be the first to tell you.
18:19🔗CallerHe just made it seem like his mom got it done by his dad, and it's something very normal, and all women deserve it. And he told me himself, he said all women are bees. You know what I'm talking about?
18:33🔗CallerI don't know, I don't want to say anything.
18:35🔗DrewWhy would you put up with this? If things have been so wonderful in your life, except for death beating you, why would you put up with anyone who feels this way about you or other women? Doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense.
18:49🔗CallerTo be honest with you, I was, I mean, I don't know, I've just been brought up that if a woman has slept with another man or anything of that sort, no other man will want him. And he himself would tell me from day one.
19:03🔗DrewThat if you slept with any other man, that you're tainted and that's it, no one will ever want you again.
21:26🔗DrewWhat's up? We couldn't get it. I can't make a diagnosis. But she was beaten by her dad, so she's got that idea. See, what happens when kids are beaten? I want to explain this to you. This is interesting. Yeah. When kids are beaten, one of the feelings that young children cannot have is powerlessness. It literally equates with, I don't exist. Your brain will not let you have that feeling. What your brain does is it converts this whole circumstance into, that wonderful bigger-than-life adult is doing this to me because I deserve it. I need it. It's good for me. They know better. It's good for me. Now I'm back in control again. I'm in power again. That's who I am. It's the person, the powerful person that I idealize and need comes and abuses me. Because otherwise I don't exist.
22:50🔗AdamWe're gonna take ourselves a break. When we come back, we'll speak to Emma. Emma's 18, can't have an orgasm with a vibrator or by masturbating, but can with oral.
24:01🔗CallerI never knew what an orgasm was until I went out with my ex-boyfriend, and now that I do and I broke up with him, I can't orgasm by myself.
24:31🔗AdamDrew, when is the last time you got a satisfactory answer out of anyone who called this show when you said, what are your feelings? How come?
24:50🔗AdamYeah, that's right. That's why you're calling. That's why you don't hear me asking questions. I yell at the callers and I tell them what to do, but you never hear me ask them anything.
24:58🔗DrewAll right, because I believe that a big part of this is you need a person. You have to be connected with someone for all that to start happening spontaneously.
25:06🔗AdamYou're talking about to work the vibrator?
25:08🔗DrewNo, if that's the way it works for her, but just to work the clitoris.
25:13🔗DrewYeah. And later on, they might start to work more spontaneously without another person, but at this stage, often times, I find that women need to be connected with someone.
28:30🔗CallerWell, I have this thing. I like to get a lot of guys and make them think that I really like them when I don't and they're a lot older than me.
28:46🔗CallerWell, see, I think it's maybe because a lot of times go and I don't live like out in the country and I don't like to know a lot of guys and stuff and I think I just kind of like the attention.
28:59🔗DrewOkay, so you're so lonely. There's just some way of controlling people and getting people to notice you. By the way, Adam, Adam, you know how I do this with the paper? This could not annoy you as much as you sitting here writing numbers. Drives me insane every night. Well, listen, you write numbers every night. Just one, two, three, four. You're down to 40 here tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
29:30🔗AdamYeah, you know what guys did in the gulag? You know, they did those prison, those war movies. They just sit there and put scratches in the wall. That's what I do. One time I get to like 10,000.
29:48🔗AdamYeah, I can hear it. Anderson can hear it too. You always do that, Drew. Very passive aggressive. Christina, I'm sorry for that outburst. Why are you doing homeschooling and how's the football team this year?
30:03🔗CallerI have no idea. I don't know. I've always been homeschooled. My parents just wanted to do it.
30:10🔗DrewWell, maybe you need a social appear group sometime.
30:14🔗CallerThey don't really let me do a whole lot.
30:18🔗AdamCan your homeschool arrange dances and proms with other homeschools or play them in a basketball game or something?
30:28🔗CallerThey don't let me talk to guys or anything.
30:31🔗DrewAre you in some sort of cult or something? No. No weird, no religious thing or?
30:44🔗AdamRoofing company. Roofers are some of the worst society has to offer. No, it's horrible. They sit up there with that hot mop all day, sucking on tar.
31:45🔗CallerYes, but I've decided to be a veterinarian.
31:49🔗AdamHold on a second. You know what I'd like to do first off? Is there a 15-year-old girl in America who doesn't think she's going to be a veterinarian? Is she alive? Has a female been born yet that did not think she was going to be a veterinary doctor at some point, at some stage, just for a fleeting moment? Has there been a woman born who has not thought that? No. Okay. As it turns out, it's usually just lesbians who end up working around animals. Somehow, they can identify with the extra hair or the weight. I don't know what it is, but lesbians love animals.
32:25🔗DrewYou're trying to endear yourself, is that what you're saying?
32:27🔗AdamNo. Here's what I'm saying. I don't understand this homeschooling. I don't trust parents who put their kids in homeschooling. Hey, if your kid is a danger to themselves or other students, fine. But if not, you're screwing them up. And why not then just keep them through home high school, home college, and then get them into a home doctoral program and let them be a veterinarian? They can graduate of magna cum laude.
34:53🔗AdamYour parents are religious nut jobs. That's what's going on. And they're raising you in some kind of cult-like environment. This is no different than the Waco incident, except for there's just a smaller house. Less nut jobs in it.
35:38🔗AdamYou need to dig a tunnel out of your room like Hogan's Heroes, out off the property and into some bar or something, into some library, into some place that has cable.
35:54🔗AdamYou need to cut home school. You need to get out of there. You need to see people. You need to experience life. And where do you meet these guys that you tempt, these older guys?
36:09🔗CallerI get up late at night when everybody else is asleep and I get on the Internet.
37:06🔗AdamGo. Okay. Go far away to college. Go to one of those lesbian schools in San Francisco. Probably have a hell of a veterinarian department over there.
37:18🔗DrewI quasi-sympathize with their parents. It's so hard to know how much to expose your kids to of the world because it's so awful. All my kids were watching The Simpsons the other night. I thought, Oh my God, this is awful. But you know what? That's the world I'm releasing them into.
37:33🔗AdamReleasing them. What are you, a game warden? Releasing your kids in the wild. Well, you got to tag them first.
37:41🔗AdamThen what you do is put a little file mark on their tooth so you can recognize them when you see them next. Sometimes they'll pull those tags off by rubbing on the bark of a tree.
37:49🔗DrewThe point is, they need to expose them to this stuff and sort of doses. Who knows what the doses are and what the right amount is.
37:57🔗AdamDon't be paranoid. You're going to give your kids an eating disorder. When we come back, we're going to speak to Kendra. Kendra is 24, has orgasms, but she doesn't have an emotional connection after this.
38:31🔗CallerYou're listening to Loveline on Outrageous Talk Radio. 100.7 The Buzz.
38:51🔗AdamYeah, it is Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew. Blink 182 in here tomorrow night. Always good to see those boys. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. And it's to the phones we go. Kendra.
39:54🔗AdamNo. Okay. And so she, she, and you feel, if it was a graph, would it sort of go up, up, up until something came out of you and then drop down again?
40:10🔗CallerI think it's, it's like, I just feel it very objectively. It's kind of like, you know, how a computer can have like a thermometer and it can be read it and be like 102. It's hot out, but the computer doesn't actually feel hot.
40:58🔗DrewOh, well, there you go. That certainly can turn you off to male certainly. It also can make it difficult for you to arouse being burned out, having your arousal system so sort of overwhelmed all the time. You become that person that needs a high degree of arousal in order to experience yourself.
41:16🔗CallerI don't know. My parents actually divorced when I was three and my mother moved. Like my dad lives in California. I live in New Hampshire. That's where we moved when I was three. I don't even remember anything really of it.
41:49🔗DrewWhat made you concerned about sexual abuse?
41:55🔗CallerOne of my sisters, she had come out to visit my mother's side of the family for some reason. She's actually a half sister. She was taken to the doctor and the doctor went to palpate her stomach and she folded up in a ball.
42:13🔗DrewHow could you have a half sister if there are no stepfather?
42:17🔗CallerMy dad's second wife is a lesbian. She wasn't like bisexual. She was a lesbian but she wanted to marry my dad so that the children wouldn't be illegitimate.
42:29🔗AdamBoy, you got a strong lesbian theme running in your family.
42:34🔗CallerMy actually my stepmother told me she thought it was funny that all four of us had lesbian tendencies. She said she didn't pick my dad for his masculinity.
43:35🔗DrewThat's what I'm saying. Maybe this little time things will start to open up a little bit. It is.
43:39🔗CallerIt has been like 16 months and I've been in therapy since I was like six off and on. But I'm kind of like if I don't remember anything, that's what therapists have always told me. I've brought this up and I say, well, you know, if you remember something, we can talk about it.
43:56🔗AdamBut maybe you miss penis. You miss some penis.
44:04🔗AdamOkay, maybe not. Hey, I miss my balls. All right.
44:08🔗DrewI don't know. People have misconception about therapy. Therapy is not like going walking down memory lane. You know, it's much more experiential than that. It's having a bunch of experience in relation to another person who you project a bunch of your old crap onto and see where you go.
44:23🔗AdamNot me. For me, it's like that old cartoon Commander McBrack. I sit on a big high back chair. I spin a globe around.
44:32🔗DrewDid I ever tell you about the time out back in Australia?
45:45🔗CallerFrom what I understand, it's not really a steroid, but it's supposed to aid in weight loss. All right. All right. Do you have any idea what this stuff really is? It says it's kind of like an asthmatic, like medication of some form.
46:01🔗DrewYeah. It could be what's called a beta-2 agonist, and that does those sorts of Clenbuterol.
46:40🔗DrewIt's called bulimia when they excessively workout and excessively preoccupy and start taking medicines, even though they have very low body weight.
48:32🔗AdamHey, Love Line, I'm Adam Carolla. That's my trusty companion and faithful sidekick, Dr. Drew, who's in the bathroom right now as the show begins. And he wonders why I complain, we get paid the same amount. It is really a travesty.
48:50🔗Anything can cause addiction, Adam. Did you know that?
48:56🔗AdamThat's David Alan Greer as Dr. Drew is now seen fit to rejoin us in the Loveline studio. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. And it's time to get back to the phones. Alicia? You're 20?
49:13🔗CallerWell, about four years ago, I had Grave disease. And I got my thyroid taken out because it had actually wrapped, grown back behind my throat around my windpipe and strangled me like a noose.
49:30🔗CallerSo, I got my thyroid taken out and all was well. You know, I was taking Synthrate for a while and about a couple of weeks ago, I found a little bump on my throat, on the right side of my throat. So, naturally, I went into the doctor and got it checked out and...
49:45🔗DrewBy the way, this show is not such a natural assumption. So, naturally, I did nothing and then I called the radio station.
49:51🔗AdamI popped the bong load and I called it at the day.
50:13🔗CallerYeah, that's what I thought. You know, I thought for four years that I had no thyroid whatsoever, but he told me that normally they don't take 100% of it out.
50:21🔗DrewOh, so it was a partial... It's called a partial thyroidectomy. Okay.
50:24🔗CallerI guess. He said something about the vocal cords, how...
50:28🔗DrewWell, no, there's some nerves that go through the thyroid, the recurrent laryngeal nerves that supply innervation to your vocal cords. The vocal cords wouldn't work without that nerve.
50:41🔗Adam.the little thyroid you have left may be cancerous now?
50:45🔗CallerWell, he said that I have a really high possibility of... It could be three things. It could just be, you know, a lymphoid, and really I wouldn't have to get it taken out at all. Or it could be cancerous, which means I have to get it out.
50:56🔗DrewYou haven't had... But they took a biopsy of it already, right?
50:58🔗CallerThey took a biopsy, and I don't find out until Wednesday. He says...
51:03🔗CallerIt's on the side. And my question is, if it is cancerous, I mean, and they take it out, do I still have to go through any kind of chemotherapy already, you know, right now?
51:12🔗DrewWell, if it's thyroid, it depends what kind of thyroid cancer, but thyroid cancers are very controllable, very treatable, and oftentimes, they just put you on certain, just a suppressive medication you take for basically ever.
51:23🔗AdamWhy don't they keep after that if you're at risk for cancer? Is it because it's not a bad cancer?
51:29🔗DrewIt's not a bad cancer, and it's not a bad risk.
51:32🔗CallerI have another question. Can I ask anything to do with that? My doctor, I recently moved down to California, and I changed doctors from the one I am going to right now to her, and she upped my dosage quite a bit, and I'm at 225, and when I told the doctor here who actually did the procedure, because I flew back to my hometown in Salt Lake City, Utah...
52:00🔗Drew0.225. Of what? Synthroid, or whatever. Lilevo thyroxin. Yeah.
52:06🔗CallerHe said that when the doctor here, when he asked me how much I was on, I told him, you know, it was 225.
52:12🔗DrewThat's a massive dose. It's a massive dose.
52:15🔗CallerHe was really surprised. He said, you know, normally, it's like 300 is the highest. So should, is she possibly, I mean, that doctor, should she have anything to do with this growth?
52:26🔗DrewNo, no, no. If anything, it would suppress the growth.
52:30🔗AdamStill, you know, you don't go to check doctors. I mean, Alicia, you use your head, honey. Why don't you have those two doctors talk? Can they do that?
52:39🔗CallerNo. Well, that's the thing. My insurance is different in California than it is up here. And I wanted to come up here because...
52:52🔗CallerShe won't. She won't communicate with them. I asked for a, what do you call it, a referral. She wouldn't give me a referral. She kind of doesn't want anything to do with it.
53:36🔗AdamHow do you get three minutes for a patient? How do you get them to wait in their underpants for an hour and a half? You only get three minutes.
53:42🔗DrewYou follow a bunch of other people through to make it seem like they're interacting with somebody.
53:45🔗AdamI see. So, you get them in their underpants. Yeah, because my trip to the doctor officially starts when the pants come down. Right. So, the nurse tells you to get in your underpants. You stand there like an animal for an hour and a half in your underpants and then the doctor sees you for three minutes. He checks your throat and lets you go home. Okay. Good times. Steven?
54:21🔗AdamAll right. 16 year old Sarah, what's going on?
54:23🔗CallerUm, I... Whenever I get really upset, um, I have thoughts of suicide and, um, I'm wondering... I know that's not quite normal, but it goes away when I... when I... when I, um, calm down.
54:52🔗DrewMaybe you could benefit from some treatment? That, God forbid, someday maybe you get really upset and accidentally or impulsively hurt yourself?
55:08🔗DrewOkay? And then also, by the way, you don't have to suffer with these things. There are things that can be done. The suicidal thinking, I sometimes think of as the pain, the discomfort, the emotional sort of reaction is so powerful that that suicide becomes sort of a rational way of dealing with it because it's so overwhelming, it's so powerful and so painful. And the fact is, that's not normal.
55:37🔗CallerI was... I only like remember little bits of it, but I'm sure it went on probably for a while, probably until I was eight.
55:46🔗AdamYou know what I'm going to do when I have kids, when I have to leave or leave them unsupervised for any period of time, I'm going to clip their diaper onto a flagpole. You know those hooks they used to hold the flag on there? Hoist them up, tie it off, put a little padlock on there.
56:02🔗AdamAnd come back, they'll be up top of the pole, just blowing in the wind. Lower them back down, give them the feeding, and then for bedtime, right back up the pole. Go back in, get some sleep.
56:21🔗CallerYeah, the only time, I just, I just, because they finally got him. Oh. I didn't say anything, I was about 9 when they called me up to testify. To the police department and I lied.
56:34🔗CallerOh, I really lied. I guess I was scared.
56:37🔗CallerIt's so stupid now, I kick myself in the head.
56:39🔗AdamNah, don't do that. Kick yourself in the ass.
56:41🔗DrewYou were 9 years old, you were 9 years old.
56:45🔗AdamWhat were your parents doing? I don't trust them.
56:49🔗CallerMy dad is a great guy, he's dealing with her and she's bleeding him dry of all her money and the system is completely biased against men and he's getting screwed.
57:44🔗AdamI know, but listen, I was about to call her Steven cause I just looked up at the screen. Now, Sarah, you know, what this neighbor did to you took away a certain portion of your life and now you're taking away the rest of your life. Maybe it's through suicide or maybe it's just through sort of destroying your life. I'm not saying it's your fault, but that's effectively what's going on. All right. Let's not do that anymore. This guy took a small chunk of your life. And the good news is no one was doing anything between the age of, you know, three and nine anyway. Just crapping on themselves and dreaming about being astronauts. So you lost some time. That's all right. You're 16, you're young, little therapy, little treatment, little group, get your head on straight. You go off and have a good life. As a matter of fact, you overcompensate because of what happened to you. You become some sort of captain of industry and basically chew everyone out all the time and make a lot of money until one day you actually break down in tears and freak everyone out in some board meeting. But until then, you have a very good life.
58:58🔗AdamNot treatment for the suicide, treatment for the molestation. The world is your oyster. I mean, because that's all the world is. I swear to Christ, I will sue Westwood Well.
59:13🔗AdamEva Anderson, please. I know I was kidding when I said that. I had to have been kidding. That's how good an actor I am, Drew. Do you understand that?
59:27🔗DrewOh, yeah. I could feel the method acting right through.
1:00:30🔗CallerAnd I spent 6 months in the hospital, 4 and a half, in intensive care. Are you okay? I'm okay now. In 1997, I went into renal failure and I've been on dialysis since then.
1:00:47🔗DrewKidney failure. We talked about it the other night. Did they put you on Cytoxan or any of those heavy-duty stuff? Did you lose your fertility because of that?
1:00:55🔗CallerI don't know. I haven't had it checked. Before I started dialysis, I was still menstruating, but in the past year, that has stopped.
1:01:36🔗CallerWell, I do mine at night, so I actually don't have to do anything during the day. I do actually hook up to a machine at night that does the draining and filling for me.
1:01:47🔗AdamOkay. I say it's good that you're alive now.
1:01:50🔗CallerYeah. They didn't expect me to live.
1:01:53🔗DrewAre you being considered for transplant?
1:01:55🔗CallerMy mom is actually going to give me a transplant.
1:02:23🔗CallerBut since I've been on dialysis, I've been with my fiancé almost five years, and when we first got together, we didn't have sex for about nine months, but when we did, we had very healthy, active sexual life.
1:02:55🔗DrewAnd you could have ovarian failure. Well, she has had these medications that can screw with her ovarian function. Ovarian function can be screwed up from the dialysis. She can have premature ovarian failure just from the loop. I mean, there's lots of things that can go on with her endocrine function.
1:03:08🔗AdamSo now, your kidneys, are they process all the fluid that comes into you?
1:03:16🔗AdamAnd they're not processing that, so you must go on dialysis, which is essentially a re- Filters and replaces and puts the fluid back in you?
1:03:28🔗DrewYeah, yeah. Yes, yes. It's not about water. It's about the metabolic balance. It's about salt, about sodium, chloride, potassium.
1:03:36🔗AdamIs that what's in the fluid that's in the dialysis?
1:03:39🔗DrewThe fluid basically use your peritoneum, the lining of your abdomen as a osmotic membrane. The fluids are adjusted in such a way as to pull things out of this membrane in your abdomen, about the membranes in your abdomen.
1:03:55🔗AdamDoes dialysis take fluid though? To add stuff to that?
1:06:11🔗AdamOh, that's my, that's my invention for a week. Bong liners, just like what they have at the airport bathroom, except for the top of a bong. Pull that little paper thing off, put it right on the bong.
1:06:43🔗AdamWell, it's a good thing when you're out of weed and you've got to scrape something. Right. It's a bad thing when you got weed and you're trying to suck it up a bong. So you get some guy and he's sucking like a mother f***er because the thing's a little bit clogged. While he's sucking so hard, he's sucking a little, he's sucking so hard, he's getting little splashes of water, he's getting all those bubbles, you know, and they're splashing up around the rim and stuff and then he hands you the bong and you put your mouth on it and you don't know if that's saliva or semen. You don't know what. All you know is it came, you think it came from someone. Best case scenario, bong water. And that's a bad deal when the best case scenario for liquid is bong water. But that's when all the stars have aligned, it's only bong water you're grabbing on to.
1:07:29🔗DrewWhere did the term, where the name bong come from? Think about that. Is that an eponym for something or?
1:09:02🔗CallerWell, okay. My boyfriend is 17 and he recently confessed to me that he was molested when he was about five. And he didn't even remember this until about a year ago. He thinks he just blocked it out of his memory. And it was by his babysitter's son. And he thinks he was about 12 or so.
1:09:25🔗CallerAnd I don't know exactly how to deal with this because there's been a couple of episodes where he's been thinking about it and he's kind of had emotional breakdowns. And I've dealt with it. But I'm trying to convince him that he needs to get some therapy.
1:09:41🔗DrewYeah. That's all you can make. And that is all you can do. You cannot fix him. You can be available. You can listen, but don't don't spend a lot of time giving him advice or, you know, rationalizing and talking about me. Just listen and be available and just say, look, you know, how much is it going to take? How much suffering you have to go through before you get to some of the camera?
1:10:02🔗AdamWhere did you meet him? Home school mixer?
1:10:06🔗CallerActually, to keep in shape, I go running with my dog and he had been kind of flirting with me and one day he pulled over and asked for my number.
1:10:16🔗CallerYeah, he had been driving, like, you know, he'd been waving and smiling at me and stuff. And I already knew who he was because my brother used to give him piano lessons. So I live in a really small town.
1:10:29🔗AdamNo kidding. Maybe your brother molested him.
1:10:40🔗CallerWell, my parents are not at all happy with the way schools are today. Drugs and guns and things like that are getting worse. And they think that public schools basically try to brainwash kids. And they don't like books like Heather has two mommies and things like that. They get really upset about that.
1:11:07🔗AdamWhy don't they just send you to a good private school?
1:11:10🔗CallerThey considered that too. But they had home schooled my brother when it became fairly new. And it had worked pretty well and he enjoyed it. And they told me that if I wanted to transfer to a public or private school that I could when I was in about sixth grade. But I decided to go through high school, home school.
1:11:29🔗AdamAnd what's the home school regimen? What time do you get up in the morning?
1:11:55🔗AdamHold on a second. Let me let me attack home school for my final time this evening. Here's the thing about school. I didn't learn anything in school.
1:12:03🔗DrewExcept how to get up, get dressed, get a good dress, drag your butt off to a classroom at eight o'clock in the morning.
1:12:08🔗AdamThat was iffy. But the only thing I learned in school was that something started at a certain time that I had to be dressed and sitting in a certain place at a certain time. Otherwise, I would be disciplined in some way. And then a bell went off and I got up and went somewhere else. That's really about 80% of schooling for most people in the public school system. The problem with homeschooling is you get up, you beat off, and then you lie in bed and take a glance down at your algebra book. That's not really life, is it? I mean, is there a gig that affords you that? Maybe if you're going to be like a telepsychic or something. But it's hard to hold down a job that way, isn't it? Megan?
1:13:00🔗CallerI don't have a teacher. The course that I take is pretty independent. And it's really good and it's one of the best in the United States.
1:13:11🔗DrewThat's pretty amazing to give kids that kind of discipline. They just get up on their own and start working. Imagine that.
1:13:16🔗AdamShe says nine o'clock. That means nine.
1:13:39🔗AdamAll right. And you keep hittin those books. And the good news is she's president of the French Club and captain of the Speech and Debate Committee.
1:14:24🔗AdamRight. Sitting home with your dad talking about the value of a dog. Your mom waxing off about doing some Busby Burghley movie in 1944. You would have killed yourself, right?
1:14:57🔗AdamWe talk about how magically the guy who grows up next door to you is your best friend and the girl who sits behind you in history you're in love with and I tell them it's all about proximity. Think about that as it relates to family for a second. I mean, your mom's your mom, your dad's your dad, your brother's your brother and your grandparents your grandparents and you love them but then you get a little older and just like that dude you grew up, Max Truex, my neighbor, I grew up, I thought was my best friend. I haven't talked to a guy in 30 years.
1:15:32🔗AdamTurns out he lived next door. That's why me and Max were best buddies. Not because we had anything in common, not because we're the same kind of people, had the same ideologies, sad thing is you get hip to that with your family eventually. They're like your next door neighbors living in your house. Oh, think about that. We'll be back.
1:16:08🔗CallerYou're listening to Loveline on Outrageous Talk Radio. Yeah, everybody on the floor, this is Ice-T. You're listening to Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
1:16:30🔗AdamHey, Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew over there. Blink 182 tomorrow night. And now, it's time to get back to the phones. Speak to Brian, who's 15. Brian? Oh, hi, Adam. Hey, Brian.
1:17:01🔗CallerWe're fine. Yeah, well, I have a question about a guy that I like. All right. I'm not sure how to confront him about it because I'm not sure whether he's gay or not.
1:17:14🔗DrewAnd how do you think this would go if he's not gay and you sort of dropped a few hands? Would that be okay? Do people know you're gay? Is it would be a surprise to him?
1:17:27🔗CallerI think it would be a surprise to him because, you know.
1:17:35🔗DrewWhy don't you first start out with just talking about who you are? You know what I mean? Just talk about the fact that you are gay and then just expose a little bit about yourself and see how he reacts.
1:17:53🔗DrewYeah, that would be a good thing for you to have. Because first of all, for heterosexuals to advise, you're sort of ill-conceived. What are you talking about? I know you're a genius, you're a genius, you know everything.
1:18:06🔗AdamI would be leader of the gays if I wanted to take the time to do it. Head gay, they would call me. Your gayness or your anus, perhaps, is how I would be referred to by my subjects. Hey, Bryan. How do you know you're gay?
1:19:00🔗AdamYeah. We've outgrown the thoughts in the head. It's time to use the VCR. That's what you should be thinking about. Do your parents know you're gay?
1:20:43🔗DrewJust see if he has to. You know, if he's somehow repelled by that or scared of it or something, you know he's not gay and that he might lose a friendship, but at least you sort of tested the water a little bit. And I would suggest you work very hard on getting a group of male homosexual friends who are a couple of years older than you, who can sort of help you, support you as you go through these kinds of...
1:21:04🔗AdamYou get some old males around a young virgin gay guy that's going to be trouble, Drew.
1:21:08🔗DrewTwo years older. I'm talking about 40 years.
1:21:10🔗AdamEven more, even more trouble. And look, imagine the fear and trepidation that was in your heart when you tried to ask a girl out at 15, even though you knew she was heterosexual, you just had to figure out whether she liked you or not. Imagine if you didn't even know their sexual proclivity.
1:21:32🔗AdamYou're 24. You claim to know the origin of the word bong.
1:21:36🔗CallerYes, I do. I have my Encarta dictionary right here. First dictionary for, I mean, excuse me, the first definition here. A bong is a deep resonant sound, especially from a bell. Now, would you say that a bong is, or that a bong is like a shape of like a bell kind of?
1:21:57🔗DrewNo, bong would be like bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, that's what they're talking about, bong.
1:22:01🔗AdamYeah, they're talking about bong like gong.
1:23:21🔗AdamYou understand? They had to call that place heroin. They never leave. You go there, you take off your dockers, you put on a pair of sweatpants and some thongs, you start walking around the beach and you never leave. You start smoking weed, looking up bong. That's it.
1:23:41🔗AdamListen, the joke's on all of us over here in LA in the rat race. Trying to scrape to get a nut. These guys are in Santa Barbara enjoying their lives. I have a bunch of friends who went to school there. They never get out. They end up working at a head shop. Or a bike shop. Parents drop 150 grand on education so they can repair bonds. Amber? Uh-oh.
1:24:06🔗AdamCould be in for a lightning round. That's a good point, Anderson, lightning round. What's up, Anderson? I mean, Amber?
1:24:14🔗CallerI was just wondering what would be the best way to tell my mom that I'm bisexual.
1:24:18🔗DrewYeah, you're 17. Why is it that the last caller had a good impulse about telling the parents when he left home? If you were heterosexual, would you stand up at dinner table and announce that you're heterosexual? Or if you just had sex with a male, would you stand up and announce that? Yeah, so why do you need to tell her what your private proclivities are?
1:24:37🔗CallerBecause she kind of likes, you know, like my sister is lesbian and she knows that, but I'm afraid to tell my mom.
1:24:48🔗AdamWhat's going on in the family? Where's dad?
1:25:36🔗AdamYou know, having a step-kid's great because it's like, it's kind of your kid, but kind of not. It's kind of like a rent-a-car. You don't want to see the thing get totaled, but if the training blows out, who cares? Step-kid. And your parents, your stepdad, your mom have been together for how long?
1:27:17🔗AdamSomething healthy about that. Tell you, a couple of gay guys couldn't hold off. Under the same roof, same age, forget it, no blood, no way. Turn that place into a bathhouse in a second's flat. All right. Hey, how about you do this? Are you going to go off to college?
1:28:51🔗DrewI'm really angry, Amber. All right. We're not going to let you just be out there. Listen. Our desire is not for you to gratify that anger.
1:28:58🔗AdamWhen you tell your mom you're a lesbian or bi, you'll not feel any better. You'll be more angry, surprisingly enough. What a shocking revelation. A youngster is called to show who wants to come out to his parents is angry at his parents. Listen, do not screw with your daughters. Boy, if I learned this from this doing this show, it will be, or if you are going to screw with your daughters, really savor it, because it's going to be payback time. And women live longer than men. Mom will be 85, daughter will be 63 and still be paying you back. It'll just keep going. Dad will be ten years in the grave. He'll have been boozing so hard he'll forget all about it. All right, what are we doing, lightning round?
1:29:47🔗Call 1-800-LOVELINE-1. Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back.
1:30:52🔗AdamWe're gonna have to close it. Wait a minute, let's check the time real fast. It's 1149 and 55 seconds. That's 10 minutes and five seconds away from the top of the hour, the witchy hour, 12 minutes. Right there, lool, lool, lool. Having a good part over there. Dr. Drew, hot, hot, hot. And the good boys from Blink gonna be coming in here, rocking the houses. Blink, what are they doing to you? Not 181 like they were last year.
1:31:45🔗CallerIt's actually from Bung, and he's going to love this. There are two definitions. One is from Bung as in Bung Hole, because it resembles a barrel.
1:32:01🔗AdamHold on, hold on, Drew, let me check time real fast. It's 11.51 in five seconds. That's eight minutes and 55 seconds away from the time of the hour. So, I was right there in the middle of the line of the line, but I was saying, I'm in the middle of the line. Ace Rockolla, Dr. Drew, how did it go?
1:32:14🔗CallerYes, Dr. Drew, I'm trying to answer your question.
1:32:17🔗AdamIt's all the lines, you're on the Love Line.
1:32:18🔗DrewWhere did it come from, David? Where was it like, you know, who it's attributed to or what part of the country?
1:32:22🔗CallerSure, well, I'm reading out of an OED.
1:32:34🔗CallerYeah, I mean, what, 1571, it was in something called Digger's Pantoon. I mean, who cares? But the other one is originally was a nautical term to describe the thing that plugged the hole in a barrel.
1:32:48🔗AdamAs you say. Hi there, David. Thanks a lot. I got a windbreaker. Let's check the time real fast.
1:32:53🔗CallerI almost rung my coffee mug like it was a cowbell. What do you say?
1:32:57🔗CallerI have a little bounty moment for you.
1:33:00🔗AdamLet's check the time real fast. 1152 straight up. Eight minutes away from the top of the hour. They're with you now. And you're smack dab in the middle of the fast eight and a half minutes radio. Lighting around. There, Ace Rockolla is part of there. Dr. Drew. Hot, hot, hot. 22 coming in tomorrow night. Hot, hot, hot. And let's hop back on the phones and talk to you, Lisa. What's going on there for yourself? What's going on?
1:33:19🔗CallerMaybe, yeah, I have a question for Dr. Drew. Six months pregnant.
1:33:23🔗AdamThanks, my little, little bun, little bun in the oven.
1:33:29🔗CallerI want to know the difference between discipline and abuse because I talk about abuse all the time with these.
1:33:36🔗DrewAbuse is where you, abuse is where you do anything that is exploitative or non-respectful of the separate wholeness of the other individual. You would never go up to another adult and spack them because they didn't do what you wanted them to do.
1:34:02🔗DrewDiscipline is deciding what you want them to do. To the extent that they do not comply, you create consequences. Typically, the most powerful shaper of behavior is withdrawing things that they like. Wage toys, taking away privileges.
1:34:14🔗AdamLet me tell the difference between... But at least, this is where I'm going to learn a call out with David. Now, hold on a second, my baby. Let me tell you something about discipline. Discipline is when you tell that six-month fetus, hey, quit kicking. Abuse is when you shock yourself in the gut.
1:34:35🔗AdamIt's 1153 in 35 seconds. That's six minutes and 25 seconds away from the way of the hour straight away. This time, there was one call over here.
1:34:42🔗CallerCome on, Drew, I'm going to power through.
1:34:44🔗CallerIt's hot, hot, hot. Blink one, eight, two, number one, nine, number two, number three, number four, number five.
1:34:46🔗AdamI'm going to vote one more time. I was saying to Johnny, Johnny, what'd he say?
1:34:52🔗AdamYou got a little lump on your testes there, buddy?
1:34:54🔗Hey, yeah, I got a little lump on my right test. I had it checked out in college about four years ago. Doctor was kind of vague, but he said I was okay. I do self-exam regularly, and just the other day I discovered another lump about an inch down from my scrotum. It's about the size of a jelly bean and it's painful to the touch. I assume I should get it checked out, but I don't want to deal with any middle man, don't want to go to a doctor who's going to say, yeah, it's a lump, go get it checked out by someone specific.
1:35:21🔗AdamUrologist, deck it out with the same man. And let me tell you something, an inch down Ace Rockolla's scrotum is a half inch further than his fist. I'm not jacking a lot, but I'm sure it will bring me right back. We'll be right back. Bye bye and hot hot hot. It's human nature. Oh, there you go. Blink 182 coming in here tomorrow night.
1:36:28🔗AdamNow, imagine me with, you know, 14 Heineken's in me, sitting in a strip club with white snake blaring in the background, trying to communicate with her on my lap.
1:36:52🔗AdamNot with those jugs. All right, so until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying Mahalo.
1:36:59🔗This has been Loveline. The opinions expressed on the show are not necessarily those of the staff management sponsors for this station. The producer for Loveline is Ann Wilkins Dingle. Loveline is the presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
