1:13🔗VoiceoverI'm Dr. Drew. The phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. It is Loveline, and tonight, I'm pleased to introduce Riki Rachtman, my friend, my former co-host. Of this show, you know him from Headbanger's Ball from Time's Gone By.
1:27🔗Riki RachtmanI'm a whatever happened to. I'm like a step away.
1:30🔗DrewNo, and you know him now from Thunderbox, where he hosts the UPN show Thunderbox. And thankfully, he, I believe, had Adam Corolla murdered tonight, right? So you could come and host the show.
1:39🔗Riki RachtmanLet's get a little slicing of the gas line. Yeah, Adam, what I understand is that it's Adam's birthday tonight. Shh, shh, shh. Oh, I shouldn't say that?
1:51🔗Riki RachtmanGo, go, go. And for people that don't know, like a lot of people remember me from some of the things I'm doing now or what I did do, but I hosted this show for years.
2:12🔗Riki RachtmanThe elevator, and that was fun. And then it was Adam and Riki and Dr. Drew for a while. And then they said, hey, you know, you could clean the bathrooms here. And then it was Adam and Dr. Drew for a while. And then obviously things didn't go good for them because they did TV shows and tours. And I think there's a Loveline breakfast cereal now. And we know my story. But then I show up and I'm going to be the guest on the show tonight. And I'm sitting there and and the producer is on the phone and Adam called in late. And I was just so bummed out because I like Adam when I was really bummed out that he's showing up late tonight. It just means more time for me to talk.
2:50🔗DrewSo what's happening now? What are you doing?
2:52🔗Riki RachtmanRight now, I am hosting and actually directing for the first time. There's a show called Thunderbox, which is heavyweight boxing. It's not wrestling because I also in my resume, I worked for World Championship Wrestling for about three years, which is now owned by the WWF. I kill businesses. But when I went from WCW into Thunderbox, which is a show in Los Angeles, it's on K-Cal Channel 9. And it's syndicated nationally. It's on everywhere. And it's heavyweight boxing, but we have girls like hot chicks that act as like the managers. And I got to be honest, the girls on Thunderbox are better looking than the girls in WWF for anything else. And they act as the managers and then we have boxing and...
3:34🔗DrewIt's sort of the absolute, the sort of the male, pinnacle of male...
3:38🔗Riki RachtmanWell, you know what? The thing that's awesome about it is, you know, I've done music stuff and rock and roll stuff and sex stuff here on Loveline my whole life, but I never had the opportunity to do sports. And I'm a huge boxing fan and to be ringside for heavyweight boxing. I mean, we watch heavyweight boxing on TV, but when you see somebody get hit and their eyes like roll back and they're right in front of you, it's hardcore. I mean, I know, you know, when I did this show, we got to meet De La Hoya and we got to see De La Hoya fight several times, but when you watch heavyweight boxers, I mean, I did a witherspoon fight and it was just, it was pretty heavy.
4:15🔗DrewDo you think that, you know how men are sort of being, maleness has almost become a disease state these days? You know, it's like uncool to be a male, you're supposed to be in touch with your feminine side.
4:24🔗Riki RachtmanI wasn't aware of that. But, That it's uncool to be a guy?
4:29🔗DrewWell it's cool to sort of be in touch with your feminine side and to sort of suppress them.
4:34🔗Riki RachtmanI really wasn't aware of that, Drew.
4:35🔗DrewI think the things like the Man Show and this kind of thing, the Thunderbox, is sort of a reaction to that. Men still have got to express themselves in those aggressive ways.
4:44🔗Riki RachtmanI don't know if it's... Oh I didn't even get a half an hour. Look at you, Adam. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, I got to just say one thing. First of all, very nice to see you, Adam.
4:54🔗Riki RachtmanWait, wait, wait. Let me just tell you, okay? The last time I was on this show, which was probably a couple years ago, I think I was still with WCW, Dr. Drew looked like a doctor, looked very, very nice, and Adam looks like, as you know, Adam Carolla. Let me just explain to everybody what it looks like right now. Dr. Drew is wearing like a blue t-shirt and some sweatpants and looking not much like Dr. Drew, and Adam Carolla walks in in a suit and tie, looking very dapper.
5:21🔗AdamRachtman is all part of the new Adam. It's a renaissance.
5:26🔗Riki RachtmanWhat happened? Something happened. There's a little Adam, a little Drew in each.
5:30🔗AdamI was playing a detective in a movie that was filming down the street. And we were just finished up. I didn't even change my wardrobe.
5:39🔗AdamListen, jackass, is this turning into a roast? I thought this was a celebration of an old friend.
5:45🔗Riki RachtmanThis is what happens. I leave, he's playing detectives in movies, and I'm getting questioned by detectives. This is where my life has gone in the past year.
5:54🔗AdamWell you should have kissed Drew's ass. That's what I do. Oh man.
6:30🔗AdamHe's also on that show. And I was wondering, as I was watching, because I hadn't seen her in previous episodes, did you get her on that show too, Care?
6:39🔗Riki RachtmanWell, what happened was, when I got the job as the host of the show, we started getting all these girls acting as managers. And you got to admit, the girls that are the managers on Thunderbox are really great looking women.
6:53🔗Riki RachtmanAnd they're cool. And I suggested to the producer, I'm like, you know what? I go, you know, it was public knowledge that I had an off-on-again relationship with Janine. And I said, she should be on this show.
7:21🔗Riki RachtmanWell, this is the deal. So doing one of our nice Riki Janine things, I suggested her do the show. Which worked out really, really good. And she does a great job until I also got booked as director on the show. Oh my God. And when we were not friends, I was in there directing, which is the first time directing. I love directing. And I was directing a scene with Janine. And I was like, you know, why don't you try doing it? And she just turned her back on me. And they just said, Riki, you got to go home.
7:49🔗DrewSo you got to go home. Not Janine, you got to go home.
7:53🔗Riki RachtmanNo, I think people would rather look at her than me. So I had to go sit in the other room. And I couldn't, because she couldn't.
8:00🔗AdamWhat you want is stating heavyweight Ed Mahone.
8:04🔗DrewWell, would you like to know what I was saying? That do you think that the sort of the fact that maleness is being sort of repressed these days, you know, and that the man show and Thunderbox and things like that are sort of reaction to men being kind of pathologized?
8:16🔗AdamYou know, I don't know. I think people have always liked TNA and people have always liked seeing people get the crap built, beat out of them, and if you put it in the same show, people are going to watch it.
8:26🔗Riki RachtmanWhat Drew is saying, and I know Adam now thinks Adam's going to probably agree with me, and Drew's going, well, it just seems like it's more cool these days to get in touch with your feminine side. I wasn't aware of that.
8:36🔗DrewI don't know about cool. You know what I'm talking about.
9:29🔗DrewOkay. And opium, opiates, of which opium is obviously one, actually does not harm anything. If you smoke it anyway, it's the routes of administration that tend to be destructive for the opiates. The problem with the opiates is they cause the most fierce, destructive, severe forms of addiction known. So if you are using opium, you have by definition profound addiction. And it was going to require a long, long course of treatment before it's going to come under control.
10:22🔗CallerWe did it for maybe a month straight, and then we quit for a month, and we did it again, but just once.
10:31🔗DrewYou will be preoccupied with it. It will come back. It will get worse each time, and unless you do something about this, this is not going to stop.
11:23🔗Yeah, hi. A good friend of mine, basically, she just started having sex, like, I don't know, a month ago, for the first time, and we've been friends for a while now, and another friend of mine, he's the first guy that she's had sex with, and this guy is just using her, and she knows it, and he told her that he wants no relationship with her outside of the sex. And, like, we're cool and all, but, like, I know I like her a lot, and, like, we kind of, like, had a thing for a little while, but I'm wondering, like, if I could have some advice on how to get her from that, like, you know, try to show her.
11:58🔗Riki RachtmanYou guys need, like, some little, like, weebles or dolls and figurines so I can see who is who, because I'm completely lost.
12:03🔗DrewHe's with who. A chalkboard, you know, just diagram it out.
12:18🔗AdamNo, listen, Napoleon could not strategize his way around this one. It's not going to work. And just listen to us, because we've all been there. We're all 17. We all like the girl. She liked our friend. She showed just enough interest in us to keep us moving along. But a year went by and we got nothing.
12:38🔗Riki RachtmanOr you're the one there when things aren't working right with the guy that you like. Oh, he doesn't... He's mad at me now, but I'll go back to you.
12:44🔗Well, I thought I would get my clues from her and stuff. Like, she'll be saying stuff, you know, that kind of leads me on in a way.
12:53🔗Riki RachtmanAnd watch what happens when all of a sudden you show interest in another girl, then she's really going to like you.
12:57🔗DrewHere are the clues. You're so nice, Leo.
13:00🔗AdamYeah, I'm so glad I have you. You're like a brother to me.
13:02🔗DrewYou're such a great friend. Thank you. That's what it is. Of course that's what it is.
13:05🔗Riki RachtmanBeing a brother and a friend isn't fun. That sucks.
13:09🔗DrewNor is it where you want to be. Be the boyfriend of somebody else.
13:12🔗AdamI know this sounds like I'm going to extremes, but I don't even like my own sister thinking of me as a brother. I've told her not to do that. I object so much to being thought of as a brother.
13:25🔗Well, you know, I was talking to my boyfriend last night and I actually called you guys last night, but you guys, I guess, are on vacation on Memorial.
14:06🔗It's not a big deal. We were watching, I think we were watching Howard Stern and his boyfriend in the background. Something about it that Howard Stern said something about her Ariola's, and I think it was Bababoo. He said something like, they look like pizzas.
14:26🔗AdamNo, but look, she starts off the show by giving us a long-winded explanation about how she called in last night, but we weren't here, then says the S word, then spends the next 10 minutes talking about Howard Stern.
14:44🔗DrewThere's anything to do with the breast men are interested in. OK.
14:47🔗But I mean, how come they're, what do the different sizes mean? I mean, why do they compare them?
14:54🔗Riki RachtmanBecause people like different things. Certain ones are like little, certain ones are big, certain ones are inverted. I haven't seen that and they can like pop out like when a turkey is done. Isn't that true?
15:02🔗AdamWell, that's the nipple, not the areola.
15:29🔗Riki RachtmanYeah, but we're talking about women.
15:31🔗CallerNo kidding. And on that note, I just I really, really mean this. I called up to thank Ricky Rachtman first off for he got me into the certain type of music. I listen to everything from Zamp and Miles Davis, anything and all that. But the point is this, I just wanted to thank him for going away from mainstream in the late 80s, early 90s on MTV. And more importantly, I had a question for him. I was just wondering when you were on Headbanger's Ball and Kurt Cobain was in a ballgown.
16:00🔗DrewYes, this has come up a number of times.
16:03🔗CallerWas that his idea or, I mean, obviously it looked, you know, with the glasses that he was on something and everyone knows he had drug addiction, but I actually still have that interview with him. And it seems that you handled it, you know, just perfect. I mean, whenever he would go off the topic, you would, you know, curtail him right back. But again, I'm just trying to thank you again, Ricky Mac. Thank you very much. I love Corolla with the Man Show and all that. And I hope you stay for the whole show tonight. I'm definitely going to listen. I'll hang up and listen. And trust me when I say this to everyone at Loveline and everyone listening. From what I've heard, my buddy met Ricky, I guess, at Harpo's in Detroit for Iron Man. I don't even know what it was, but he said that, you know, you were one of the nicest guys that he's ever met. So I guess-
16:47🔗Riki RachtmanWell, tell your friend, thank you. And the reason that his friend said that I was so nice is because I never been to Harpo's with somebody else. But about that, and another thing that, because I did Headbanger's Ball, and that left such an impact on people, and people are like, you know, when you were on in the 80s, I didn't even start the show to 1990. I was on from 1990 to 95, but-
17:08🔗AdamBefore you finish the Cobain story, which I'm interested in hearing, this happens all the time. People don't realize that the first three years of the 90s were the end of the 80s.
17:22🔗AdamThey look at the 90s as computers and short haircuts and nice wire rim frames on their glasses, and clean lines on their sports cars, and Macintosh portables. They don't realize 90, 91, 92, 93. That was the end of the 80s.
17:40🔗Riki RachtmanWith that note, I have to give a plug since we're talking about that music, is that I'm re-opening the Cat House on Tuesday, June 5th, which I want to talk about in a little bit and plug that, if I may. Sure. But to talk about what he was talking about, I was always a really big Nirvana fan when the record Bleach came out. When I was hosting the ball, I was excited to meet Kurt Cobain. Kurt Cobain came in wasted out of his mind, and this is during the short time that we were filming the show in LA. He walked into the dressing room, laid down on the couch, totally passed out. What I would guess, he was probably on smack. I don't know if that was true or not. That's just what it seemed like to me. Totally wasted. I was bummed out because I am a rock fan before I'm a TV guy or whatever. He came in and he put on a big yellow ball dress, a big huge like prom dress with this big collar and these big glasses. A lot of people have seen this. I think it's on their home video and stuff like that. And I didn't really get it at first what the whole thing was, you know, and he's like, yeah, it's the headbanger's ball and I'm wearing a gown to the ball. And I mean, I guess it was sort of funny in a way, but it really wasn't.
18:47🔗Riki RachtmanBut he was just sitting there and it was just a bummer because Nirvana, you know, I remember I was on the air when we had the, I had to say to everybody the Kurt Cobain was dead. And especially with their last record, I thought that that band and a lot of people got pissed when I said that, could have been the Beatles. I mean, I thought they were incredible. I really like Nirvana, but, you know, you just see a guy that was going through so much pain that to me it just looked like somebody that was dealing with such a horrible depression that this was his only way out, was drugs and eventually, you know, blowing his brains out.
19:19🔗AdamAnd how long after that appearance did he kill himself?
19:22🔗Riki RachtmanI don't remember. It would probably have been about two or three years.
19:46🔗Riki RachtmanAnd this was, we got to remember, this was probably about a couple months after there was rumors. I mean, there was, I think he had OD'd once and there was like a couple of attempted suicides. So hearing that Kurt Cobain was dead was something that, yes, it shocked us, yes, it hurt. But there's a lot of people that, you know, hearing that they're dead, you know, it's only a matter of time. You know, when these things happen so many times.
20:08🔗AdamYou're upset, but not necessarily surprised.
20:10🔗Riki RachtmanRight. It's a bummer. It was a great loss to rock and roll, but whatever.
20:14🔗AdamWell, on a happy note, that's the day I got in the radio. I swear to Christ.
20:40🔗Riki RachtmanAnd then I was up to like three in the morning, then do Headbangers Ball at seven. And I remember walking to the studio and walking like half a mile away from when Tupac got shot, the time he got shot in New York. And I ran into the studio and I'm like, Tupac just... They shot Tupac. Not in Vegas, but New York. Remember, I was in the studio in New York and you guys were here.
20:56🔗AdamYeah, yeah, yeah. Geez, you're the kiss of death, Rachtman. Holy Christ.
21:09🔗DrewWe'll be back with more Love Line for now. We're going to take a break and celebrate Adam's birthday. We'll be back with Riki Rachtman after this.
21:22🔗AdamYes, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. This is Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Rob Schneider in here on Thursday. Tonight, Riki Rachtman, former host of the show. And now you can find him on Thunderbox UPN. Check your local listings.
21:45🔗AdamAll right. Well, the point is, is check your listings. But it's good. I do enjoy it. It's all heavyweights. They beat the cramp out of each other. And it's not pro wrestling. I mean, they're going at it.
21:58🔗AdamAlso, the return of the Cat House, which is coming up June 5th. And we'll be plugging that.
22:05🔗Riki RachtmanI just want to give the website for that, okay? For people that don't know, before I did MTV or Loveline or anything else, I opened up a little rock and roll club called the Cat House that was in Hollywood. And every band you can think of used to play there unannounced, from Guns N Roses, White Zombie, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains. Black Crowes like paid me $500 to play the Cat House. Everybody played there. And we're reopening it because the rock stuff is coming back. And if anybody wants to know any info about it, just go to clubcathouse.com.
22:36🔗Riki RachtmanIt's in Hollywood on Melrose. It's got like a capacity of like 400. And we're just going to put bands in unannounced. And I mean, the stuff that used to happen at that club, the people that would show up, it was, I mean, there's stories of like Axl Rose chasing David Bowie down the street. Just decadent, decadent stuff used to happen. And that's kind of how I got my start in everything. And to clean drugs and pardon me, clean drugs and don't do a lot of drugs at the cat house. A lot of decadent. But it'd be weird. Like, for instance, I know that, you know, in LA, everybody's talking about Depeche Mode. And I remember they did an in store and it turned into a riot. So they all went into the cat house because nobody cares who you are at the cat house. And they all just had fun there. And nobody asked them for their autograph because everybody used to go to this club. And it was, I mean, we ended up doing it in five states. We took it on tours and we closed it for a while and we're reopening it in a very, very small location. And I'm doing it purely at the standpoint of just wanting to have fun. Nice.
24:13🔗DrewAnd it can cause little abscesses that can drain. So you got to get somebody to take a look at that. They can be infections and things. It's pretty easy to treat.
24:26🔗AdamYou drop a bottle brush in there once in a while, too, and really swab it out.
24:30🔗Riki RachtmanGirls got nasty. They got a lot of crevices that just some stuff can hide in. You know, guys just have that outward thing. You just have to wash it off once in a while.
24:40🔗AdamYeah. I mean, they're really, they're, I think of them as, you know why roaches hide in the kitchen, you know? There's just so many places. The refrigerator, the microwave, and get behind and in everything. We're more like just sort of the basement.
25:06🔗CallerYeah, 24. Hey, I have a question real quick for you. I'll give you a little bit of brief history. I recently had a daughter in December, and my wife right now, girlfriend at the time, came down with TSS after my daughter was born.
25:24🔗CallerYeah, toxic shock syndrome. And right now I want to actually know about getting a vasectomy to refrain from this happening ever again.
25:33🔗DrewWell, how do you, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, don't confuse. How is it? What is your sperm production have to do with her toxic shock?
25:40🔗CallerWell, the doctors say that if anything happens as far as pregnancy and a later date, I could, she could possibly die is what it all amounts to. And I want to kind of not let that happen.
25:57🔗CallerThis is right after, right after my daughter was born. And what happened was she reacted with about five meds that they gave her. And they ruled it afterwards as toxic shock syndrome.
26:24🔗Riki RachtmanJust what Adam was talking about just there.
26:26🔗AdamRiki wrote that down on a cocktail napkin and slid it over to me two minutes ago.
26:30🔗DrewCrevices again. But like if you get your nose packed after nasal surgery, you could get toxic shock. Okay. If you wear a tampon. Wait a minute.
26:38🔗AdamWho? You mean packing. You don't mean sex with it.
26:50🔗DrewBut the fact, it sounds like she developed some endotoxemia or exotoxemia from probably an infection of her uterus, I bet. So this whole thing isn't fitting together. So have her see an infectious disease, doctor. Why don't you hold the line? I know you're from Pasadena. So Tara, Tara, what's her name?
27:08🔗AdamYeah, that's good enough. Tara, is there Tara?
27:12🔗DrewTara. Tara, I was saying Tara. It is now. Hold Eric on the line. I got to talk to him after the air. OK.
27:18🔗AdamWe've been through 1,700 phone screeners since you left. None of them good.
27:40🔗Riki RachtmanOh, I don't know. Actually, if this is the same Todd, I know he has a skate. Just so anybody knows, if you're like, I'm in my 30s now and have been for a while. And when I was a kid, I was 11 years. No, no. When I was a kid, I used to skateboard nonstop. Yeah. And I stopped skating for a real long time. And I went to this place, Skatelab, which is in Simi Valley, and started skating. I live in Huntington Beach, so I went to the Block in Orange. And in my 30s, I started skateboarding again, skating pools. And that's what we used to all do. And you probably, when you were a kid, were you into skating?
28:10🔗AdamNo, I was, but I sucked. But yes, it was all the rage.
28:15🔗DrewAdam was a nerdy kid. So they couldn't skateboard, so he rode a unicycle.
28:21🔗Riki RachtmanI started skateboarding again, and I started a skateboard company, which neither, I feel like a whore when I plug things, but it's poolschool.net. But I own a skateboard and apparel company called PoolSchool. And it's much more fun than profitable, but it keeps me skating, which, you know, like the coolest thing that happened with skateboarding right now is you got all these kids doing their street stuff. And I told Drew, like, dude, you gotta get your kids off of scooters and on skateboards, because if they ride scooters, bad things will happen. That leads to drugs. And the cool thing is you go to skateparks now and you'll see, like, the 30-year-old guys and stuff in the pools and their kids in the street. Like, skateboarding is something that fathers and sons do, which to me is just incredible.
29:02🔗DrewMy kids, by the way, were blown away. They're sort of becoming interested in people that I've met. One of the ones that really caught their attention was Tony Hawk.
29:11🔗Riki RachtmanHey, I filled in on Loveline a couple years ago, and we had Limp Bizkit one night and Tony Hawk the other night, and Tony Hawk got more phone calls than Limp Bizkit. And the Nickelodeon Kids Awards was Tiger Woods, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Tony Hawk. Tony Hawk won.
29:28🔗Riki RachtmanBiggest selling video game in history.
29:31🔗AdamI saw him at the Teen Choice Awards, I think. Did you see him there? Last year. And the year before, I think. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy, but yeah, this is a huge sport to...
29:43🔗AdamI mean, sport to those who... to the younger folks, mainly. No. Mainly. I said mainly. Alright. And then they idolize a guy.
29:54🔗DrewWell, they're just getting at it through the video games.
29:57🔗Riki RachtmanWell, you gotta get them on skateboards. I broke my middle finger. Look how messed up my middle finger is. I was in a cast. I broke my middle finger and they put a cast up to my elbow. Why is that, Drew?
30:21🔗CallerHow you doing? Yeah, I'm 21. Actually, I just started having sex about when I was 20, about a year ago. But just recently I noticed, I never noticed whatsoever, but I noticed I had a small penis. Can I say in the air?
30:34🔗DrewYeah, you can say it. How small are we talking about?
30:36🔗AdamI don't know if you want to say it too much.
30:39🔗CallerNo, I just, I mean, I'm kind of worried, you know, because I'm 21 and I'm almost out of puberty, I guess. You take it, you know, I think I'm pretty much done.
31:16🔗Riki RachtmanI've never heard that. I've never had the complaint about too big.
31:19🔗CallerWhen I was little, I had a little bicycle accident and I sprained it or something went somewhere wrong and I don't know if I had to do something with the fact that I only come like really quickly.
31:37🔗AdamSpoke came out last time we watched that.
31:39🔗CallerI don't know. Am I supposed to not get used to it or something like that? You know what I'm saying? Am I supposed to get used to it? And be able to have sex for like 20, 30 minutes out. You always have stories and everything like that.
31:54🔗AdamYou are as squirrely a 21-year-old as I've spoken to on this show in many years. You gotta relax. You got a girlfriend? Oh, yes, I do. Okay. Just slide in and relax and enjoy breaking her in. See, this guy.
32:10🔗AdamWell, we always talk about this, but males and females, you have that one person that breaks you in. Not the people you've had sex with, but that one person, that person you shower with, the person you try all the different positions with and all that. And usually, guys usually find that at 17, 18 years old. He is now finding that at 21. And that's why he sounds like he's 17 years old. But relax. He's way, I'll tell you, women are much more turned off by a guy who's uptight about his small penis than a guy who actually has a small penis.
32:47🔗Riki RachtmanBut then you start thinking about it and thinking about being uptight and then it just doesn't work.
32:52🔗Riki RachtmanRemember? Well, okay, no, no, no. It's getting exciting. First of all, this is funny, and Drew will remember this. I was once married, right, to this girl that I thought was like, I mean, physically attractive, but not sexy in the slightest. Remember? And I said, Drew, I can't get it up. I couldn't, like, I couldn't get it up for her.
33:09🔗AdamHe's a good friend, because he didn't say anything to me.
33:11🔗Riki RachtmanI never had sex when I was married, but she didn't, that's because she didn't want to have sex with me, but... But I don't know why I told you guys that story. I really wish I didn't.
33:20🔗AdamWell, because she wasn't, you weren't motivated?
33:24🔗Riki RachtmanNo, because the first time, for some reason, I couldn't get it up, and then you start thinking, you know what, why can't I get it up? It's got to happen again. Because now I'm a machine.
33:34🔗AdamBut there's no doubt about it, you're all man, an all man.
33:36🔗Riki RachtmanEven though I still have those Adam Gay test things that I'll never, not that I forgot, all the things that Adam says that makes a man gay, I always thought you were gay if you like dick. But according to Adam, if you like...
33:56🔗Riki RachtmanNo, because now, you know why I don't have the squeegee in the shower anymore? Because they have this spray stuff that you just spray all over the shower. Oh my god, that's a shower thing.
34:33🔗DrewYeah, when you're making deals with yourself, you got a problem. And when you're trying to control it, you got a problem.
34:40🔗CallerI went 30 days straight without smoking weed, what I did last night, but...
34:44🔗DrewYeah, but you're addicted, though. You're white-knuckling and you can't do that. It's like trying not to eat, the venture you're going to eat. You can't do it.
34:51🔗CallerI don't really like smoking weed, but...
35:33🔗AdamYeah, all right. But believe me, you better hope you're depressed, because if this is you in a good mood, you're going to have to kill yourself. You sound depressed. Are your parents alcoholics?
36:01🔗DrewMA, Marijuana Anonymous. Yeah, lots of people like you. Lots of them.
36:04🔗Riki RachtmanYeah, a lot of... You know what? Pot is really, you know...
36:08🔗DrewWell, enough time has gone by with that being a commonly used drug that we're starting to see the addiction now start to take its toll, so people are asking for help with it.
36:17🔗Riki RachtmanWhat you like about weed these days is that it's, you know, you say it's not your parents' marijuana because the pot these days is so much stronger than the pot they used to smoke, you know, back in the...
36:28🔗DrewAnd people have been smoking it for 10...
36:47🔗AdamYeah, I smoked some of that when I got home that night.
36:50🔗DrewYou were screwed up for a month, a week, a week. I kept coming to you, you loaded, what's the matter with you?
36:55🔗AdamNo, I really, I was like hallucinating, I was getting weird, there were spiders in my spine. I mean, I just thought, my God, this stuff's too good now. I'm really gonna have to cut it with like lawn trimmings or something. It is now past the point of, it's become too potent. I mean, listen, if you're not smoking it every day and you ain't used to it, you have a B-load, you'll go psychotic. That's what happened to me.
37:22🔗Riki RachtmanAnd look now, he came in today with a suit and tie. That's what's gonna happen. That's right.
37:26🔗AdamYou'll go Squaresville, baby. Riki Rachtman is our guest tonight. We're gonna take a little break. And then we'll be back after this.
37:36🔗Loveline, we'll be right back. Call on the 1-800-LOVE-191.
37:40🔗Hi, this is Janine Garofalo. And if you've ever wondered if there's people that are way worse off than you, listen to Loveline.
37:46🔗AdamYes, there are. Some of them are here tonight.
37:50🔗AdamNo, I was talking about myself. Riki Rachtman is our guest tonight. Riki, former host of this show. Now you can find him on Thunderbox, which is... Well, check your local listings. Please. It's boxing. It's heavyweights. It's not fixed. And I really enjoy it. Also, the rebirth of the Cat House. It's Tuesday.
39:51🔗Riki RachtmanBecause sometimes drugs will make it.
39:53🔗DrewYeah. Absolutely make it not work. And Megan, it sounds like you're sort of, or coffee. You're feeling responsible for this and it really is not about you.
40:34🔗CallerRiki? Yeah. I think it's great. You're a skateboard company and everything. But how do I get it through to my two 16 year old twin boys? They are not going to be Tony Hawks at the age of 18. The education is important.
40:47🔗Riki RachtmanWell, it's just the same as you tell the kid that's playing basketball that he's not going to be Kobe Bryant. And everybody, the kids have got to know that they've... The one problem is that anything that when you see people like a Tony Hawk making millions of dollars in a sport, most of the best skateboarders in the world aren't making millions of dollars. And the thing is, I mean, I hate to sound like an adult, but they've got to get the education. And then, hopefully, it'll happen. And the worst thing is, the thing that is ruining that sport is kids saying, when a kid will see another skater, they'll say, are you sponsored? Which is the lamest thing in the world. It's like, why don't you skate because you like it? Tony Hawk started because he had fun. Period. You know, they've got to have fun and not worry about making money. And if they're really good and they're having fun, then maybe somebody will come around, but obviously they've got to go to school.
41:37🔗CallerI do encourage that. I encourage them to continue doing it.
41:41🔗But they're not going to get scholarships by the way.
41:44🔗AdamNow listen, listen, you'll instill those virtues in them or you won't, but it won't have anything to do with skateboarding. I mean, look, every guy I knew who was in high school, including myself, I was a poor student and a good high school ball player. And without playing ball, I would have just been a pit poor student who never did reap any of the benefits or disciplines of playing the sport. So don't try to take this sport away from them and don't try to crush them.
42:14🔗Riki RachtmanBut you do have to say, look, if you don't do good, you know, if your grades don't pick up, we're going to take the board away from them a little bit and make that an incentive.
42:22🔗DrewI suspect you're giving them mixed messages because I see this all the time. We're parents.
42:34🔗DrewYou make the message clear. You are not going to be a professional skateboarder. Cut it out. No. Hang on a second. Wait a minute. I'm not saying you're not going to be a doctor.
42:44🔗AdamNo, I'm not saying I'm not saying Santa Sotomayor Easter Bunny.
42:48🔗DrewHey, I'm not saying stop skateboarding. I'm just saying, hey, you get your homework done and do the things you've got to do when that's complete. You earn the privilege of skateboarding.
42:56🔗DrewAnd that's fine. But I deal with these kids all the time who are snowboarders. They're going to be professional snowboarders. And they aren't being required to work, go to school.
43:09🔗Riki RachtmanThere's more professional basketball players, football, anything than skaters. There's very few people. And when you've got Tony Hawk, which is the one exception of the world.
43:17🔗DrewThe point is, do not let them forsake their responsibilities in a fantasy. Just cut it out.
43:23🔗CallerI try so hard not to, but I don't want to.
43:28🔗AdamOh, but listen, I would really contend that a person who is not going to be a good student is probably not going to be a good student anyway, but they may have strengths that lie in other fields. And I think as a parent, Riki, see, I'm glad Riki's here tonight because.
43:46🔗DrewHe would be fighting out between us otherwise.
43:48🔗AdamNo, but I'm going to pay Riki a compliment. I'm going to pay me a compliment. And then maybe if you're lucky, Drew, I'll get you in the eleven o'clock hour. But Riki is a guy, is a classic example of a guy who's probably a horrible student. Never, never.
44:05🔗Riki RachtmanBull. Yeah, yeah, high school was the best eleven years of my life.
44:09🔗AdamListen, Riki grew up in the same part of the valley as I did. We probably had about the same upbringing, about the same time. Parents who didn't care, living in some crappy place in Van Nuys.
44:30🔗AdamAnd, but yet, you have an entrepreneurial spirit. You've made your way. You've had many different endeavors in your life. And you're a successful person, and have been a successful person. Not because you're a good student, but your strengths were in other places. And to force feed you the books on Riki Rachtman probably would not have worked.
44:53🔗Riki RachtmanYet it was done. Yet it was done.
44:55🔗AdamYou could have encouraged him to study. But still, as soon as he quit, he was going to go open the cat house. That's fine.
45:03🔗Riki RachtmanBut I'm also, you know, I got to admit, I'm the exception to the rules. So do you tell your kids, look, here's this idiot Riki, that guy with all the tattoos that got bad grades, so don't worry, you'll be like him.
45:14🔗Riki RachtmanI mean, I was, I started every single September, every September saying, this year is going to be different. I'm going to get good grades. I got a brand new notebook and a brand new pencil sharpener. And even though I still don't know how to divide, you know, it's, you know, I really try, I really did try, but you know, whatever.
45:32🔗AdamNow listen, I think you encourage your kid to be a good student, but you also keep an eye open for what the kid is good at.
45:39🔗Riki RachtmanThey need to make some changes in schools where there are certain types of other type of things that kids are learning, you know, that bring out their talents, whether it's graphic arts, ceramics, tree climbing, whatever.
45:51🔗DrewDirt cloth throwing. Isn't that what they did for you?
45:53🔗AdamAll right. All right, Drew. Drew, you were formed by the man. That's all I have to say.
46:00🔗DrewWe're not, I'm not wholly disagreeing with you guys, but we're going to, parents still got to do their job.
46:05🔗AdamYeah. That's all. All right. Don't squash the kid's dreams. That's all I'm saying.
46:11🔗AdamWe're going to take ourselves a break. Riki Rachtman is our guest of night and we'll be back. Love Line, Fast-Growing Outlaw Radio, North America. Riki Rachtman is our guest of night. He's the former host of Love Line.
46:36🔗Riki RachtmanI'm former everything, aren't I? I'm just a big former guy.
46:49🔗AdamThat's right. Tuesday, June 5th. And is there going to be a band that night?
46:54🔗Riki RachtmanYes, there is. I'm not announcing any of the bands at play because I want people to go to a club to dance to rock and roll. We only play rock and roll there. And we're going to have bands play and we're never going to announce them because someday it might be some great huge band unannounced and someday it might be a band you never heard of and sometimes it might be a no-no band.
47:12🔗AdamWell, it may be a band that you hadn't heard of and then you can say that you saw them.
47:17🔗Riki RachtmanYes, the grand opening, we do have a band. There's some good stuff happening for the grand opening, but I can't talk about it. Okay, that would be such a lame promoter type of thing to do.
47:35🔗I have a question for Dr. Drew, actually. You know, I've heard you talk about teaching, I have a four-year-old, almost five-year-old, and I've heard you talk about several times about, you know, by the time the child is eight, you need to either initiate sex education or start talking about it.
47:57🔗I mean, I listen to you guys' show and I hear about all these thirteen-year-olds and sometimes younger that are already having sex. I'm like, oh my gosh, I only have a couple years to go. So, you know, I mean, I want to be able to have that open discussion with my child when he gets here.
48:12🔗DrewAll right. The important thing is, first of all, calm down. Okay. The important thing is that-
48:17🔗AdamYeah, you're going to freak the kid out. You won't be able to get it up as soon as that.
48:22🔗I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on therapy because I get it wrong.
48:27🔗Riki RachtmanA boy? I don't have to worry about it.
48:29🔗DrewThe important thing is to realize that what's important is not the information you give him so much as the dialogue being established. That's the goal of that 8-12 window. Not that you should give him a plumbing lesson. Not that he should walk away with a complete understanding of what human sexuality is, but just that he feels comfortable asking his questions. I gave a lecture once to a group of inner-city youth and then teachers and parents of these kids. As they walked into the room, there was a big blackboard. They were to answer this question, the right time to talk to kids about sex is dot, dot, dot. And on one side of the board, the teachers answered, and the other side, the kids answered. And the kids and the parents and teachers' side, the responses were always 16, 13, 14, as soon as he can talk, as soon as he can walk, these very, very discreet ideas about when the right time is. On the kids' side, without exception, the response was...
49:18🔗DrewNo, there was some of that stuff too. But on the kids' side, it was all about when I ask, when I'm ready. That's it. And make sure when they ask, that you make sure you understand what they're asking. So always get for clarification. Say, what do you want? What do you ask? What do you want to know?
49:33🔗Riki RachtmanI can't imagine anything more terrifying than if... I mean, my parents never had the talk with me, and I think judging on some of the choices I've made in my life, they're probably wishing they did. But I never had that talk, and I can't think of anything scarier than my mom saying, you know, Riki, it's time for us to talk about sex.
49:49🔗DrewIt turns out if you don't hit that 8 to 12 window, it all becomes that weird, awful anxiety-promoting thing.
49:55🔗Riki RachtmanJust say, look, this is the deal. Whenever you want to ask anything about it, anything you want to ask, go ahead and ask.
50:00🔗DrewYeah, do you have any questions about girls, about this, about that? Just keep...
50:04🔗Riki RachtmanIs quantity better than quality sometimes?
50:06🔗DrewJust give them opportunities to talk about it.
50:09🔗DrewBut you always got to make sure it's on their terms. You can't freak them out. My daughter, when she was 5, asked... Did I tell you this story? Yeah. Do you and mommy sex? She asked that. And I asked the next... After freaking out, I asked the next smart question, which was, what do you mean? She went, oh, kissing. Yeah, we do that. And pow, that was it. She was delighted. That's all she wanted to know. All right.
50:32🔗AdamDidn't talk about renting the porn in the Vegas hotels or any of that good stuff? No, no. I see. Yeah. My parents didn't talk to me about sex either, and they just waited until I was old enough to find out on my own, which was 29, but yeah, because Riki, you and me, and Drew, you would have freaked out too to have this conversation with your penny-pinching dad and crazy mom at 15, 16 years old. You have to lay a little groundwork till you get to that point.
52:01🔗Riki RachtmanWhat are you saying, that basically what the deal is that he's next to, he's like drawn to her like an orbit, like an orbitational draw.
52:26🔗Riki RachtmanMay I just interrupt for a second? It doesn't matter if you're fat or you're skinny or anything. The guy's a jerk. The guy is making a pass at you. That's so totally wrong. There's certain boundaries you don't cross, you know? And if he's done it with you, he'll cheat with anybody, and he's doing your sister wrong. Period. You got to tell your sister.
53:16🔗Riki RachtmanYeah, you got a fiancé. You're cheating on your fiancé and you're cheating on, yes you are. You kissed this guy.
53:22🔗CallerI didn't do anything. He initiated the entire thing.
53:24🔗AdamOkay, but listen, what are you going out and getting loaded with this A-hole for when you know his vibe?
53:29🔗CallerNo, no, no, no. It wasn't just me and him. It was me, him, my sister and my two cousins.
53:33🔗AdamAll right. Well, don't get around him and booze anymore and admit that you're at least flattered to some degree by the attention that he gives you.
53:42🔗CallerOh, well, I, well, no, I can totally admit that.
53:47🔗DrewNot of course, Mary. No, an average person would be furious. Not, not, of course.
53:53🔗AdamIf my sister asked me to blow her husband, Kristoff, there's no, I would be, I would do it, of course, because she's my older sister, but I would be humiliated. And he's cute.
54:04🔗Riki RachtmanAnd you're talking to me about my potpourri and cats.
54:08🔗AdamAll right, Mary. I wouldn't. Here's what I got to say.
54:11🔗AdamPlease, Drew, please. I was talking. Do not go out and hang out with him anymore. Certainly don't get drunk with him. You do not have to confront him. You do not have to confront your sister. Just leave it alone.
54:23🔗Riki RachtmanThings get ugly Thanksgiving sitting around that table.
54:27🔗AdamBut, you know, I think we have the popular semi-misconception on this show that people will turn on the people who deliver the message. And I don't think it's that way across the board. I think you can say to somebody, hey, somebody's out of line, somebody's coming on, and they won't turn on you.
54:45🔗DrewBut typically, the kind of person that would hook up with an asshole like this would be the kind of person in steeped in denial who would turn it on the system.
54:53🔗AdamRight. And Mary is, she's eerily flattered that this guy is coming on to her, which is kind of weird. Billy?
55:46🔗Riki RachtmanBecause the Kings aren't in it. And you know what I also don't get? In LA, is it absurd the amount of people driving with the Lakers flags?
55:53🔗Riki RachtmanIt is so, but I'm, see, I mean, I'm like the full blown race fan. I mean, I'm the only one driving around California with big threes and eights on my car. But here everybody's got, you know, the Laker things in there. Everybody's got, you know, their favorite drivers numbers. But when the Kings are in the playoffs, they didn't have, like, Kings flags and...
56:17🔗Riki RachtmanOkay, my choice was Colorado there. But there's his answer.
56:20🔗AdamWhat? LA is chock full of the top 10% A-holes from around the country, as you know. They will gladly embrace a winner and they will shun a loser. And as anyone knows, the real way you measure a fan is if they're there during the lean years and during the good years.
56:39🔗Riki RachtmanWhich for the Kings, I always was.
56:41🔗AdamYeah, and the Lakers are the hottest team in sports right now, and so everyone is jumping on that bandwagon. But that's all LA is.
56:51🔗Riki RachtmanThere are, I mean, the amount for people that don't know those dumb flags that people put on their windows, and I'm sorry because I'm only addressing everybody in SoCal right now, but everybody's got these flags on, and you drive on the freeway, and it's like just one out of every ten cars, maybe. You don't have a Lakers flag.
57:08🔗DrewNo, I think you're right. It's like one on a road.
57:11🔗Riki RachtmanYou have a Lakers flag, do you? No. Now, is there any sport, like I am the full-blown NASCAR. I'm seriously, I mean, I have a number three tattoo on my elbow. I am a NASCAR fanatic. Are there any sports that you guys are that fanatical about?
57:32🔗Riki RachtmanI think basketball is just so lame.
57:33🔗AdamDon't take this the wrong way. But as you get older, you should be less a fan of anything except for yourself and your own family as the years wear on.
57:42🔗Riki RachtmanNo, because when you get older, there's more time sitting. So then you get to sit down and watch the sports. That's the way you're supposed to be chasing kids. But then there's guys like me that spend more time watching.
57:54🔗DrewNow I'm getting back into sports again because my kids are getting into it. I've been out of sports for 20 years.
59:39🔗CallerWell, see, like, I'm kind of attracted to it in a way. But in a way, I'm wondering, will I ever be put back together again? You know, will it ever remain the same?
59:48🔗DrewYes, you'll be the same. But does it hurt you when it's happening?
59:51🔗CallerI haven't done it yet, but I asked him, you know, when you have sex with females, does it hurt them? And he says, it takes me three times. You know, he can't just have sex with them once because it won't go in all the way.
1:00:04🔗AdamAll right. But he's not met anyone as slutty as you in a while, right? So, I mean, this may work out.
1:00:11🔗Riki RachtmanYou know what's something funny about guys? If a woman tells a guy, hey, you know, is it a good size? And the woman says, you know what? It's absolutely perfect. That's not the right answer. It's not a guy wants to hear, you know what? It's too big. I mean, how messed up is that? They want a woman to say, it's just too big to get hurt. Not, you know what? It is so perfect. You have the perfect shape. They don't want that. You want to say, you know what? It's just too big. Why is that?
1:00:37🔗AdamRight. Well, because it sounds like they're lying to spare your feelings. No, they do. I've had the perfect call a few times too. And it's not flattering.
1:01:09🔗AdamIt is the pillow talk she has with her next boyfriend, fiance, guy she's going to marry, where they do that Penny for your Thoughts thing, and she says, this guy had a door the size of a table.
1:01:24🔗Riki RachtmanAll the guys that hit Pamela Lee afterwards, all the guys that went out with Pamela Lee afterwards, that had to follow Tommy, you know, all those long mists, they always said, you know what, no matter what, I got a follow up after the horse.
1:01:40🔗AdamThat's why I want third input on Pamela Lee.
1:01:44🔗DrewShe's been with a lot of guys since Tommy.
1:01:49🔗Riki RachtmanOnly what I read on the Internet.
1:01:51🔗AdamAnd nobody wants to follow that. And the damage she will do will not be to her vagina, but it will be to the fragile psyche of her next boyfriend after this fling is over. So don't bring it up.
1:02:17🔗CallerSee, I don't know how long this has been going on. Just kind of, you know, probably ever since around since I was nine. But the whole concept and possibility of communal showers is always like, you know, instilled in me an intense sense of fear.
1:02:35🔗DrewYou don't like being naked around your peers? You're afraid of bacteria? What is the issue?
1:02:40🔗CallerI can't place it on anything specific, right?
1:02:43🔗Riki RachtmanDid you have an experience? When I was in junior high school, I was really, really scared to take a shower. I mean, I would make every excuse and wait to be the last one to change, so I didn't have to take a shower in the shower with all the guys.
1:02:55🔗AdamNow he had all those tats. He didn't want the guys making fun of him.
1:02:58🔗CallerI can't place anything on anything specific, but I'm pretty sure, you know, it's not like I'm not really embarrassed about my physique, so to say.
1:03:06🔗AdamBut all right, well, listen, don't do it.
1:03:10🔗CallerWell, I mean, like, how can you? Why is it there?
1:03:12🔗AdamListen, I played three years of high school baseball, three years of high school football, never got in a shower with a whole bunch of guys.
1:03:31🔗AdamWell, listen, it was a house with a bath in it. It was not a bath house, per se, with multi baths in it.
1:03:38🔗Riki RachtmanI think that type of thing is something that's a normal fear.
1:03:41🔗AdamYeah, I agree. And it is something that could easily be avoided if you like.
1:03:47🔗Riki RachtmanNow, on the other hand, if you were like, I can't wait for communal showers, that would be something. So look at it that way. Say, you know what? I feel nervous. It'd be a lot better. Like, you know what? I'm going to take PE twice just so I can take a shower with all the fellas.
1:03:58🔗AdamBecause that is, you know what, Riki, you bring up a great point. I go out to eat some place, sometimes at this place called Hugo's. I sit down every time. I always order the woman's juice. And they sell that now?
1:04:15🔗AdamWomen's juice. And everyone I sit with always makes fun of me for ordering the woman's juice. But I say to them, would you be happier if I ordered the man juice? And then they all shut up. So I agree with Riki on that.
1:04:59🔗Riki RachtmanI have a question about my boyfriend. He keeps asking me, we've had sex like three times now, and he keeps asking me to give him moral sex. And I keep telling him no. And I don't want to break up with him because we've been together for like two years now.
1:05:54🔗Riki RachtmanHe's my first boyfriend that I've ever had sex with, okay? And we've been going out for a year and six months now. And we've been going at it for what? Six months now?
1:06:09🔗AdamSix and a half, actually, because you guys started... You guys started in November.
1:07:34🔗Riki RachtmanMy dad, he was never an alcoholic. Well, I mean, he drank heavily, but it wasn't to the point where he was like, he had to drink every night or whatever.
1:07:45🔗AdamAll right. And did he ever beat on you at all?
1:07:47🔗Riki RachtmanShe doesn't want to go down on her boyfriend and all of a sudden it's bad. Everything has to do with alcohol because she doesn't want to give him a hummer.
1:08:14🔗AdamWell listen, then give your boyfriend a BJ, would you? If everything's good with you.
1:08:19🔗Riki RachtmanIf you don't want to, don't do it. If he stinks, tell him to wash that stuff up and then maybe try it. And if he wants to break up with you because you won't do it, then you know that he's only into one thing.
1:08:29🔗AdamAnd listen, everybody, even if you're insane, it's okay to act sane, right? Meaning you could go, listen, I'm 18, I'm having a sexual relationship with a long-term, long-time committed boyfriend, he's going down on me and I'm freaked out about going down on him. I don't know why, maybe it's because I got choked in the fifth grade, maybe because dad boozed too much, whatever it is, but stop for a minute and go, you know what, I kind of have to do that. I know I got my own weird ass about it, I mean everyone should do this in every facet of life.
1:09:01🔗Riki RachtmanBut you have to go down on him?
1:09:03🔗DrewNo, no, no, no, you're missing the point.
1:09:04🔗Riki RachtmanBecause all of a sudden I'm watching this and I'm like, I think that's the wrong advice, I think it's good advice, but it's the wrong advice, and Drew's agreeing like yeah, you have to go down there, play the horn.
1:09:17🔗DrewYeah, but you were saying it as a symbol of some larger behavior that people need to engage in. It's not all about hummers.
1:09:24🔗AdamI am saying every once in a while, every time I go to a wedding or a funeral, I have the urge to stand up and yell something about effing Hitler, you know, I really do. That impulse shoots through me like a bolt of lightning at every funeral and every wedding, and probably a bar mitzvah too. Only part time on bar mitzvahs. But you know what? I don't do it. And the reason I don't do it is because I go, what would a sane person do right now? And that person would sit there and, you know, clasp his hands in front of them and nod his head. And I think we all have impulses to do either strange things or there's things we know we should be doing that we don't want to do, but that sane people do. And I'm saying everybody, stand back from your own life a little, hover over yourself, take a look down, and act like a sane person. All right. Riki Rachtman is our guest tonight. We'll take our little break and we'll be back. Hey, hey, hey, it's Love Line. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Rob Schneider is going to be in here on Thursday. Next week, Brooke Burke. You know her from Wild On, the E! Channel show. I'm telling you...
1:10:51🔗AdamNo. The most beautiful woman on television. Drew, you don't hear me talking too much about too many women on this show. This woman is stunning. Can't wait to see her next week. And of course, tonight, Riki Rachtman is with us.
1:11:07🔗AdamThe Cat House is going to be reopening.
1:11:10🔗Riki RachtmanYeah, here. I'll do my 10-second complete horror. I'm reopening up my rock club called the Cat House. You can check it out at clubcathouse.com and also send me email there. And I'm also hosting the show Thunderbox, which is on TV. Check your local listings and buy my skateboards at poolschool.net. God, I'm a whore!
1:11:55🔗CallerWell, I have, there's this girl that I've known since first grade. We've been friends, best friends since first grade. We've always talked, we've always kept in touch throughout the years and now I'm starting to have feelings for her.
1:12:09🔗CallerAnd I'm not sure if I should ask her out and risk.
1:12:14🔗DrewNo, I would. This is the one exception to the rule.
1:12:17🔗AdamBecause he hasn't been hot on her for the last six years.
1:12:20🔗DrewYeah, this is the one exception. Probably she has very intimate feelings about him. She may not have thought of him that way, but may be open to it.
1:12:26🔗AdamWell, wait a minute. Let's just make sure Logan wasn't hot on her since the third grade. Logan, be honest, when did you find yourself becoming attracted to her?
1:15:01🔗AdamHold on a second. I really, I would like to do a four-hour taped docudrama on all of Drew's sort of... He's been entitled. He's been on the radio for 18 years and doesn't know it. All those when people set the coffee down. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. All the holding up. Warm up. Warm up. No.
1:15:24🔗DrewNo, talking through the window here. Yeah, yeah.
1:15:26🔗AdamTalking into the window to Ann, whose back is turned to him while she's playing Pac-Man on the computer saying... Ann speaking in code about stuff that the listeners could never know of. That's what I love. All right.
1:16:14🔗Riki RachtmanBut anyways, we've been like recently started seeing each other again, I guess, so to say. And he's still with his ex... Or with his girlfriend.
1:16:21🔗DrewListen, Kim, didn't you hear what I just said? He's getting sex out of this. That's it. That's all.
1:16:27🔗Riki RachtmanHold on. Hold on. There's more to it. But his girlfriend is the girl that he cheated on me with.
1:16:56🔗CallerWell, see, the thing is we just barely had sex for like the first...
1:16:59🔗Riki RachtmanWe actually barely fooled around for like the first time like two weeks ago. And I found out like three days ago he lied to me about having sex with his girlfriend.
1:17:20🔗AdamYou're not supposed to agree with me. Why are you supposed to talk around with me? I didn't have anything nice to say so I didn't say it at all. But Kim.
1:18:22🔗AdamReally, everybody who is sort of insane should look for super sane people to pull them back towards sanity. Not more effed up people to drag them down into the abyss.
1:18:32🔗Riki RachtmanThe more screwed up the two individuals are, the better the sex. Sorry. Big long silence. I was hoping somebody gave me an amen.
1:18:41🔗AdamIt's good for two weeks and then it gets really chaotic and then the sex gets good again and then someone gets pregnant while you two are breaking up and then the kid grows up in the middle of a rock tumbler for a family and it's a mess. I mean, really, I'm telling you everybody, if you find sane people to hang around with, you'll actually become saner yourself or vice versa. You start dating felons, you'll go down that path too. All right. Someone wants to wish me a happy birthday. Michael?
1:19:53🔗Riki RachtmanJesse Ventura was the best. I love, you know what? How I could have been raised in Hollywood, I don't know, because I am so incredible white trash. I love wrestling. Incredible. I love incredible white trash. I am. I love that. See, I like that dang banjo music, too. Love Waffle House, love wrestling, love NASCAR.
1:20:09🔗Riki RachtmanAnd I live in Huntington Beach.
1:20:10🔗DrewNo, no. How is Waffle House? We haven't even talked about it.
1:20:13🔗Riki RachtmanOh, my God. I love, well, remember when I came here talking about Krispy Kreme before the whole Krispy Kreme thing started? Waffle House, they don't have Waffle Houses in Southern California. When I was working for WCW, Waffle House, in California, they do this thing where they rate the coffee shops like A, B, and if you're really bad, C or D. Waffle House is, thank God they don't rate them because you wouldn't eat there. Yet, there's always like a woman without a tooth working there that'll tell you a story. They have a jukebox in place, Waffle House songs. Denny's is trying to kind of rip them off now the way they prepare their hash browns because you can get them smothered and scattered and covered. It's just these little things like in Atlanta, they're on every single truck, at every single off ramp. I love Waffle House.
1:20:58🔗DrewThe 14 letter sign is 18 stories in the air.
1:21:00🔗Riki RachtmanI love Waffle House. Waffle House, Krispy Kreme, and occasionally Steak and Shake. And I'm set. That's it for me.
1:21:07🔗AdamAnd if you go to www.wafflehouse.rickierachtman.com I've been there.
1:21:12🔗Riki RachtmanYou can download parts of their songs. That's pretty, I'm bad. How I could have been raised in Hollywood, I don't know.
1:21:50🔗Riki RachtmanI grew up as like probably normal kid from LA. And in my later life decided that I felt better becoming white trash, so I did everything I can from driving a truck to watching NASCAR to preferring to eat at Waffle Houses. I don't know how it happened, but...
1:22:04🔗AdamAll right. Hey Anderson, get Ricky a shot of that Governor Reven term.
1:22:10🔗Riki RachtmanIt's a show on television, The Man Show. Oh, the best.
1:22:13🔗AdamIf you can take it as a show... What is it?
1:22:31🔗Riki RachtmanGod, that is awesome. Have you ever met him?
1:22:35🔗AdamNo, I can't get him on the show. His people will not let him do the show because they're scaring you.
1:22:41🔗Riki RachtmanI think it's a lot of people's people. Because I remember I tried to help Ann get Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the show. Which would be great because Dale Earnhardt Jr. is an awesome guy. For anybody that's new to racing, he's like us, so root for him. But I was trying to get him on the show and his people were saying, what are you going to talk about people sticking their butts for? People's people, I think a lot of the people would do the show, they're just people.
1:23:08🔗AdamLet me tell you all who are listening to this show something. What you don't know is what goes on behind the scenes is there's a lot of people called publicists who I despise and there's a lot of other people just fall under the heading of people. Yeah, people's people. And these people, they get in between you and a good time. And you and the truth and you and entertainment.
1:23:30🔗Riki RachtmanBut now that you guys are such big huge industry giants, or Higgs, as we call them, you guys have a lot of people. Dr. Drew has a lot of people. Adam, you have a lot of people. I have your own people.
1:23:40🔗AdamI may have my peeps, but I have anything. No. Well, I know you haven't just drew.
1:23:57🔗AdamAll right. But the point is, is Jesse Ventura will not be on the man show, even though it's his favorite man show on television, because he has people.
1:24:05🔗DrewIf we wanted to be on a show, we'd be on the show. Right. You know.
1:25:01🔗Riki RachtmanWhen I was with WCW, ICP were wrestling on that. And they're good wrestlers. They were really actually good. They did a good job.
1:25:10🔗AdamYeah. Well, they gotta be good at something.
1:25:14🔗Riki RachtmanYou know, there's all these like clown bands now. You know, all these bands. And there's this one video, this video. Have you seen that band Mudvane? They look awesome.
1:25:24🔗Riki RachtmanSo I'm watching, you know, the MTV, because there's rare times these days when MTV will play a music video. And I am embarrassed to say that I dig that band so much. And they're, I mean...
1:25:52🔗Riki RachtmanSee, and I saw them and I'm like, oh, old guy, like, oh God, Slipknot, they look dumb. And then I hear the song and I dig them for once. And as far as music goes, I think right now there's better new rock bands than there have been in like 15 years. There's a lot of...
1:26:06🔗Riki RachtmanOh yeah, well no, 15 years, since 18 years, since 1995, okay, 10 years. Six years. Whatever. There haven't been any good rock bands for a long time and I think right now there's so many good bands.
1:26:17🔗DrewWho are the guys we like, the young guys? I don't know. I've had it with you.
1:26:33🔗AdamAnd he walked right in. And he still had red makeup.
1:26:35🔗CallerSo did you shut up, Drew, for Christ's sake?
1:26:38🔗Riki RachtmanIt's like, my problem is like there's certain bands that now... You know, I've always known a lot of people in bands. And now there's all these new bands that I'm just getting into that I'm a really big fan of. And I don't want to meet them because if they're dorks, I hate their music. Just like...
1:26:50🔗DrewActually, weren't those guys that they were sort of... Like, their attitude was they were expecting to not like this show. And they came out real fast. And got into it real...
1:26:58🔗AdamOh, I can't remember anything. Fog Hat, that's all I know.
1:27:50🔗AdamHere's what you really have to worry about. You're interested in a guy who thought it'd be a good idea to put a spear through one side of his penis and out the other. That's really...
1:27:59🔗Riki RachtmanThat's the piece sitting down every time, don't they?
1:28:02🔗AdamIn the big picture, that's going to haunt you more than the actual chafing. You understand?
1:28:08🔗Riki RachtmanGot you. But girl piercing's okay.
1:28:38🔗Riki RachtmanI mean, I had my nose and other stuff, but I could never do my... Well, also because I just think it would hurt too much. I just don't get it.
1:28:45🔗DrewYou and I saw a piercing, a penis pierced. Remember?
1:28:49🔗Riki RachtmanI looked away. I don't like that. I don't... I can swatch a lot, but watching that jab didn't...
1:29:02🔗CallerGot a question. My fiance went through her pre-marital exam and the doctor has given her hymenal lining dilators and I was wondering if this was normal.
1:29:13🔗DrewIt must have been kind of narrow in there. I mean, that's not the usual thing.
1:29:18🔗DrewYeah, and maybe she's concerned about it and doesn't want to go through the discomfort when you guys are actually together. It suggests she's a virgin, which is, is that the case?
1:29:28🔗AdamWhy do you have to get a pre-marital exam? Do they normally get that?
1:29:32🔗Riki RachtmanIt's the same thing when you get a car. You want to take it to a mechanic first and just make sure everything's working before you take it for the big...
1:29:37🔗AdamHave a guy know his way around under the hood, kick the tires a few times.
1:29:42🔗DrewMaybe she's going to get on the pill or something.
1:29:43🔗AdamMake sure you're not getting a lemon. Hey, Bob?
1:29:46🔗CallerYeah, it was more to get her on the pill.
1:29:47🔗AdamYeah, that's what I see. All right. How old is she? 19. I see. And yeah?
1:29:54🔗CallerI've got one more question. She was debating on whether she should take herbal breast enlargement pills or not.
1:30:17🔗AdamNo, there's no herb. OK, that's Drew doing more great radio, by the way. Is that right? Ricky's in the middle of making a statement. Drew is going to say, is that right? And then I look, I'm sitting in the studio and I'm confused. I'm like, well, he's really agreeing with this Rachtman. The guy didn't even finish a sentence. He's agreeing with him.
1:30:52🔗AdamYeah, because he can have his own conversation with you at the expense of everyone who listens to the show. Is that right? He yells into the microphone. Okay, Drew, you want to sock the mic? I'm going to do another four hour mini-series on you just punching the microphone while we're on the air. Okay, let's take a break. We'll regroup. We'll be back.
1:31:19🔗AdamAlright, well, there it is. Time flies when you're reminiscing. Riki, why don't you give the Cat House...
1:31:26🔗Riki RachtmanThank you so much. Yes, let me do that. My world famous rock and roll club is very small, but it is opening up again and you can find out everything about it on clubcathouse.com and my skateboard company is poolschool.net and you can see me on Thunderbox, which is sometimes on Sunday afternoons and Saturday nights.
1:31:45🔗AdamIt's repeated and moved around. I see it all the time.
1:31:48🔗Riki RachtmanYes, it is, but it's good. It's good heavyweight boxing.
1:31:51🔗Riki RachtmanAnd thank you guys for letting me in. Thank you, Ann, the producer, for letting me be back on the show because this is always fun.
1:31:59🔗AdamThank you, Riki. Rob Schneider will be up on Thursday and until then, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
1:32:07🔗DrewI'm homosexual. I'm freaked out about it. I'm trying to be heterosexual, but I have these overwhelming homosexual feelings.
1:32:14🔗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 a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
