1:15🔗VoiceoverI'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board-certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, everyone.
1:40🔗AdamHere's the way. The only way I can tape a TV show is if I'm physically standing there holding the record button as the show is playing.
1:48🔗DrewYeah, the play and record button simultaneously.
1:51🔗AdamI know people think that's lame and I must be kidding around, but I will be dead, deadly honest with you here, when I want to tape, like if I'm doing, if I'm going to be on Politically Incorrect or something.
2:12🔗AdamIf I'm gonna be on Politically Incorrect or something like the Leno or something, especially, Kilbourne or whatever, here's the way I do it. I leave the house at 9.30 to come here. I take a six-hour cassette, I put it on the channel, and I hit play. Then when I come home, there's five hours of nothing. And then there's me sometimes at the end if the tape hasn't run out. That is as close as I can get. I've had the Tivo unit for a year now. It does not work. I cannot get the thing working. And it's been hooked up now for about three months, and I haven't been able to figure it out. So good times. So any response on the Oprah appearance?
3:04🔗AdamIt does. So I am annoyed when I come home from work, and I see that big puss on there. And tonight I will not be so annoyed because Dr. Drew's big puss will be on there.
3:14🔗DrewAnd then you'll change the channel. Not quite as quickly, but you'll just move right along.
3:17🔗AdamWell, it is really funny when you do things because my initial thing is, Oh, hey, it's Drew. And then I watch for about a minute and a half, and I go, Oh, hey, it's Drew. And then I change the channel. Like, I get excited to see you. And then I realize, wait a minute, nobody sees you as much as me. So I should go ahead and change it.
3:38🔗AdamSo I will. I think it's on at like 1230 or one o'clock. I will try to watch that tonight. I spent the entire day in Santa Barbara at Ivan Reitman's- Polatial state.
3:55🔗AdamWe'll put it this way. I hope he's not listening. I don't know if he gets angry at this kind of stuff, but Oprah coincidentally bought a place down the street or around the corner, many acres. This is, for anyone who's not familiar with this area, it's about 80, 90 miles out of LA., where a lot of the celebrities and producers and types have their second homes, sometimes first homes, up in the hills above the Pacific Ocean, basically. Oprah's place cost her $51 million. $51 million.
4:40🔗AdamI don't know because my mind shuts off at about 450 grand. I can't conceive of houses being more than $700,000.
4:51🔗DrewLet me put it this way. Let me ask this. Is it worth the extra effort, you know what I mean, to own a house that's that incredible? You understand what I'm asking?
5:44🔗DrewBut is it worth that? I mean, is it worth whatever it takes to do that? You know what I'm saying?
5:49🔗AdamI don't know, but if you're making X amount, you know what I mean? I mean, if some movie you made 20 years ago goes to DVD, you open your mailbox and there's 10 million in it, then what do you mean? What's it worth? Do you know what I'm saying?
6:12🔗AdamI'm sure it's not that bad, but you know what I'm saying. So it's all relative, but holy Christ, talk about it. I mean, there's nice houses, there's mansions, and then there's this.
6:30🔗AdamPeople work in not ponds, lakes. I mean, it's just crazy. Crazy. All right. Ready to go here, Drew? I got back to my house. I took a dump on the living room floor. I say, you make me sick, house. You call yourself a house? This is squalor I'm living in. Really. Jimmy and I were driving back from Santa Barbara. I looked at him and I said, how miserable are we going to be when we get to our crappy houses? And we live in nice houses.
6:56🔗DrewThat's what's unhealthy about stuff like that. You shouldn't be exposed to it.
7:52🔗CallerI find her very attractive. I just, I don't know.
7:57🔗DrewTo me, that, to me, by the way, that would be hell. You know what I mean? To think I'm going to spend the rest of my life with somebody, I'm just sort of, eh, whatever.
8:04🔗AdamYeah, but Drew, you'd bang a nod hole if you had a couple of zimas. I mean, you are a very, very passionate, passionate, passionate man. But here's what I'm thinking. Maybe Robert has creeped out a little. Maybe she's pushing.
8:19🔗DrewYeah, just the way women get with men when they start pushing.
8:22🔗AdamMaybe he's getting the vibe that there's something up and it's turning him off.
8:25🔗DrewBut how weird that it would have started just after the marriage. Did you know each other only for a couple of weeks before you got married?
9:16🔗AdamFriend of the family maybe. How's her dad?
9:22🔗CallerHe's cool. I don't know, since I've known him, he's been a little out of it, but that's just because he had an accident just after we got married.
9:31🔗AdamHe had a cramp in his pants or had an accident?
9:53🔗AdamThere's something going on with her, and here's what I think. I think there's something going on with her, and I think you're picking up that vibe and freaking out a little bit, or shutting down a little bit. And I don't, I mean, it's easy to define in that she's coming on too strong and you're recoiling, but it's more of a vibe. You know there's something going on beneath the skin with her, right? And I think you need to address that. I mean, forget about the sex. Why don't you just talk about getting some counseling, getting her some therapy, that kind of stuff?
10:25🔗CallerYeah, we've been trying to look into that.
10:37🔗DrewThere's got to be something up with him too, because she picked him. Got to be.
10:42🔗AdamYou know what I was thinking about? I always argue, it's kind of weird and ironic, but we always say, I always say to women, look, you're not horny, your husband's being a good guy, you're shut down, you're on some medication, you're having some post-partum depression or something. Just hold still. Let the guy mount up a couple times a week, he works hard, give him a break. But with men, you actually kind of have to work a little bit. I know this sounds like a horrible statement, but you got to get the erection and you got to move your ass up and down. And if you're not motivated, it's going to be hard to even pull that off.
11:17🔗DrewEven more than I think what you're commenting on is that if a guy is not in the game, a woman is going to know it and be disturbed by it, while a guy is going to be like, eh, whatever.
11:30🔗AdamListen, she could have a massive coronary halfway into it and just be lying there. Most guys wouldn't know or stop. Thank you. John?
11:57🔗CallerWell, she listened to the radio show and then we talked about it. That you know me and doesn't ever say it. She, her and I both have a big problem with it and we never really say to our parents, even, or anyone that close to us.
12:10🔗AdamYeah, well, how long have you been going out?
12:54🔗DrewYeah, that's how difficult it is for him to say that because it's not said in his family. And she understood that, which is a very mature thing, you know?
13:00🔗AdamAll right, I'm saying, just start throwing it away. It doesn't have to mean that much.
14:46🔗CallerWell, I lost a bet to a friend, and that was what happened, and I haven't been doing it since.
14:53🔗AdamNo. There's no way to enforce that bet. How does he enforce that? Does he watch you do it? That time. He did? Yeah. All right. Well, who might have passed judgment?
15:04🔗CallerAnd I was just wondering if there's any long-term effects with that.
15:08🔗AdamWhacking off with Icy Hot? Yeah. Well, if you ever sprain your penis, you'll be in great shape. Your rehab time will be cut almost in half. What's it feel like? Tingly?
15:20🔗CallerAt first, it's a little hot, but, you know.
16:09🔗AdamI might as well grab a handful of pate and sniff something. You know what I mean? If you're going to go, you might as well do it. I'm a dry guy, but I'm thinking about trying out that icy hut. William?
17:17🔗DrewPlus, theoretically, you can have really quite dangerous reactions. There's something called a serotonin excess syndrome. Some can occasionally fire up with combining these medicines together. There's nothing specific about the ones you're using that would necessarily create that syndrome, but it always worries me when you're on medicines, it could potentially do that. Yeah.
17:36🔗CallerBecause sometimes I'll get these weird shakes for no reason.
17:39🔗AdamYeah. See, William, let me explain something. You need all of your brain just to maintain your life, as opposed to a genius like myself who can basically not use any of my brain, and still function quite nicely. Thank you.
17:54🔗AdamI don't even use it. I didn't bring my brain tonight, I drew it out of my car and get it during the break. But William, you already have a history. You can't monkey with this stuff.
18:12🔗AdamYou can't screw with this. So don't do that. It's really a mistake. I'm telling you, as cool as it may sound now, or as many of your friends are doing it, it's just a mess.
18:24🔗CallerWell, see, that's the thing. All my friends tell me not to.
18:43🔗DrewWell, if you're not feeling well, then you need to talk to the people that are prescribed the medication to get something that helps you feel better, because if you need that kind of escape, there's something very, very wrong.
18:51🔗AdamYou're saying acid makes you feel better?
18:54🔗DrewYeah, some people get a real escape high with that.
18:57🔗AdamHey William, you gotta do something about this.
19:05🔗AdamNo, I think Jesus Christ. I rarely give out Jesus' name. He asked me to stop talking about him on the air. But I think in William's case he may want to find him. Andrew?
19:25🔗CallerReal parents aren't your real parents. Do you think they are? See, the way Adam Corolla was actually came into this earth with Gilbert Godfrey and Dennis Miller had sex and now came Adam Corolla.
19:50🔗AdamWell, thank you. But he spends, you know, the better part of his career doing voiceover work for toasters and smoke alarms and things like that. But he's really a funny guy. But it always kills me that when people say you look just like Gilbert Godfrey because he's an impish, he is an impish little five foot tall man who will not bathe.
20:12🔗CallerIt's probably virgins out there that Adam should have given a long time ago. He's kind of touched upon it, but probably virgins out there think sex is such a big deal. It's not anybody will tell you that if you want to get laid, you want to get this whole thing over with, go to a place Adam Corolla has been many times called Tijuana. Went there myself this last weekend. You've never seen anything like it. Am I wrong?
20:33🔗AdamHey, listen, you think you've been to Tijuana?
21:36🔗CallerListen to this. He has got severe problems. He is going up to every prostitute that is there asking if he can have sex with her without a condom. Before you freak out on that, he picks up some chick on Santa Monica and La Brea the other night, which I know you're familiar with that area, has sex with her without a condom. And I looked at this whatever it was and it looked like a man. So I'm kind of worried about my buddy there.
22:24🔗AdamWell, let me tell you, as I learned from listening to a PSA on AIDS when I was driving home a week ago, and Drew, you're a doctor, you probably know the answer to this, do you know the only known cure for AIDS? You want to check your medical textbooks or do you think you know the only known cure for AIDS?
22:45🔗DrewWell, let me see. The word cure suggests you've already contracted it. So, I couldn't possibly be suggesting that not getting it.
22:55🔗AdamNo! According to the PSA, I was listening to the only known cure for AIDS is not getting it. Now, let's see if that works with other diseases.
23:22🔗AdamThat's right. There you go. That's what you learn from listening to late night radio. The only known cure for AIDS is not getting AIDS. Thank you very much.
23:45🔗AdamRight. Except for, it's really about five people. I really like to get hold of those people. And then I hear the one on airplane turbulence safety. And that's when I just punch my head right out the sunroof of the car and start screaming like a mad man. OK. We're going to take ourselves a break. And when we come back we'll speak to Grace, 18, exposed to herpes three weeks ago. Is it too early to get a test for it? We'll find out after this. Hey, chandala, chandala, chandala. I'm Adam Carolla, and that is Dr. Drew over there. Chandala was the noise Frank used to make, a guy I used to work with, when I installed closets with born again Christians.
24:44🔗AdamIt was like he spoke in tongue. He was no Rich Little. Mexican guy with a tattoo on his neck and a teardrop tat in his eye. Chandala, carrying around a Bible.
24:58🔗AdamThose were the good old days. Vanessa, you're 18? Yeah. Oh, wait a minute, Drew, weren't we going to talk to the herpes guy? I will talk to him after you. Did you promote that? I've been promoting it all weekend.
26:41🔗Adam28, going to a party, getting a BJ from a nice 18-year-old.
26:45🔗DrewHe's scum. You do need... And giving her GC, you know, gonorrhea. But listen, you need to tell your doctor about this. It's important because the kind of culture you got to do for both chlamydia and gonorrhea is very specialized. And it might change the antibiotics he or she would give you too.
27:01🔗AdamHow does she tell the doctor what she's talking about?
27:03🔗DrewJust say, I had oral sex on Saturday and I'm worried that this is an STD. Or just even just say, I'm worried this could be an STD. I had a new partner. Just leave it at that. And the doctor knows what you mean. Okay?
28:29🔗CallerYeah, the whole game. And I've slept with like four.
28:32🔗AdamOkay. Vanessa. Okay, but listen, Vanessa, as crazy as the last few months have been for you, you still have not crossed the threshold into wild numbers or making movies or doing anything crazy.
28:48🔗AdamOkay. Here's my point. You can stop that now. I don't mean stop having sex. I mean, stop doing what you're doing to yourself. You can stop acting out. You want to do that? Okay, but listen, Vanessa, let me explain what's going to happen. And this goes to people who are getting into heroin or giving 28-year-old BJs at parties in the back of the guy's Camaro while he's giving her STDs. Here's the thing. At this point, you can stop No Harm, No Foul. Two years from now, when you've blown 4,000 guys and you got herpes and hepatitis and your new fiancé gives you that penny for your thoughts. Well, and he gives them that speech, you know. I've been with, well, 7 and a half, technically, well, technically 7, but I say 7 and a half because one time I got to second base and she says, I've blown the last 4,000 guys I've been. You've already crossed, you understand?
29:58🔗DrewGet some friends, get important people, keep them close to you, talk a lot.
30:02🔗AdamJust stop acting out. I don't care if you have sex, as long as it's not acting out, which is what it is when you go, hey, if you find a guy you like, you go on a couple dates, you want to have all kinds of crazy monkey sex with him, that's your business. But you getting drunk at a party and blowing some guy who's near 30 is not a good plan for you.
30:43🔗AdamWell, why should they go? They're getting a BJ in the parking lot of the restaurant.
30:46🔗CallerWell, like, well, because I'm like, I'm kind of overweight, so.
30:49🔗AdamOkay, listen. Drew, Drew wrote that down, by the way. He thought it was. No, he didn't. Vanessa, here's your big problem. Forget about finding the guys right now. You've had plenty of guys in the last few months. You've had three years' worth of guys in the last three months.
31:04🔗DrewNo, you can get, you can track their attention.
31:06🔗AdamNo problem. You can give anyone a BJ, give a cigar.
31:10🔗AdamA woodney need in front of a cigar store, you could get to come. You understand? Now relax. It's not all about guys and what they're gonna do for you and how they're gonna fix you and how they're gonna make you a hole. You gotta fix that, you gotta work on that. That's you. That's not them. Stop looking for them.
31:26🔗DrewYou know, I was thinking today, I was gonna ask you if you're doing any work with your therapist so you're still being a son of a... No, thank you. Oh, this is nice. I thought you were sleeping. But obviously you are doing a little bit of work. You started talking about your therapist, huh?
32:01🔗AdamListen, Drew, I've told you why I do not talk to my therapist about masturbating. Because I can not talk about masturbating without masturbator. And if he wants me to beat off right there in the office...
32:12🔗DrewPlus, it takes that full hour to discuss the Laker game.
32:17🔗AdamHow dare you? I've not been discussing anything of any relevance or importance with my therapist. I've not even been going the last few weeks because I've been having to work all those days. Grace?
32:28🔗Hi. I had sex with someone like five weeks ago. And I heard from all his friends that he has herpes.
33:39🔗I told her about that. But about HIV, though, like HIV, you know how it could show up six months after even though you got tested before that? Is herpes like that?
33:47🔗DrewNot so much. Herpes, most will have something within two to four weeks and that's pretty much it.
33:54🔗AdamHey, if you get herpes, you have no outbreak. You've never had an outbreak, but somehow you've contracted it. They can culture that?
34:03🔗DrewNo. It's more that you've had an outbreak but didn't know it.
34:10🔗AdamI see. I know a woman's got a lot of inside parts.
34:12🔗DrewThe women commonly can be just on the cervix and they think they're having a bad period or they're just kind of sick, they have a urine infection, they have a yeast infection, they can masquerade and all sorts of things.
34:26🔗AdamThat herpes way up there? Bad times. Jay? You're 25.
34:33🔗CallerYeah, I had a question for Dr. Drew, well, you know, for you too, Adam, but I've been smoking pot, well, I recently quit, but I've been smoking pot, you know, since I was 12 or 13 years old, in the last, you know, eight or 10 years, really heavy smoker. And I quit in January and I always had a really great memory. You know, people say that pot really affects your memory. I didn't really have any of that kind of problem. You know, people will tell me their phone number, I'd remember right away. But when I quit smoking, I lost my memory, basically. Like the first couple of days, I forgot how to drive a car. I was like, you know-
35:16🔗DrewWell, you're detoxing though, that'll take a few weeks.
35:18🔗CallerUh-huh. And still I haven't quite got my memory back. Like I forgot how to play the guitar, you know, I forgot, I forgot all sorts of things.
35:27🔗AdamWell, maybe you just thought you know how to play cause you're baked. I thought that.
35:31🔗DrewWell, what's interesting, there's something called state dependent learning. So maybe you learned those things when you were high.
35:36🔗CallerWell, yeah, I mean, I definitely started smoking before I started.
35:39🔗AdamI know, like I'm almost a professional caliber jazz drummer when I'm stoned. That I know. But I can't play at all when I'm not.
35:48🔗DrewBut the memory issue is more about new learning. In other words, when something down tells you your phone, do you have any trouble remembering them?
35:56🔗CallerYeah. I can't remember it as well or I don't seem to retain it as well.
36:00🔗DrewThe other thing is you usually will get depressed for the six months after you stop smoking pot. Is that starting to happen to you?
36:05🔗CallerNo. Not really. I kind of wish I could smoke, but I can't.
36:13🔗DrewAre you doing something else? Taking any other drugs or alcohol?
36:19🔗CallerI drink, but I don't. Like I used to drink a lot more and I used to do a lot more drugs just in general. And no, I don't drink. I mean, you know, I drink beer.
36:30🔗DrewYou haven't stepped anything else up to replace the pot.
36:35🔗DrewYeah, but it's usually people who are getting memory problems when they stop. That's why they stop. They're getting frustrated with the fact they can't remember stuff.
36:43🔗DrewHere's the good news about pot is this, in my experience, the vast majority of the symptoms get better, but it will take at least six months.
36:49🔗AdamWhere is the part of the country where people learn to say, huh-uh? Huh-uh.
37:16🔗DrewThat's like our girls with the little girl voices.
37:19🔗AdamRight. So the male equivalent to the little girl voice is, huh-uh. I mean, not progressive. I'll tell you, I saw some like A&E special on Marilyn Monroe just a few nights back, and I was listening to her with my new Loveline ears, and I was, you know, watching her sing Happy Birthday to Mr. President, and just multi-interviews and movie parts, and I realized, oh my god, somebody did something awful to that poor woman, and for a while. I mean, you listen, go back, watch a watch a movie or better yet, because you could, you know, you could chalk that up to acting, but watch just an interview or something with Marilyn Monroe, listen to her voice, and then listen to the type of people we're talking about on this show, and you'll realize, wow.
38:11🔗DrewThat's where we got off on the wrong foot in terms of understanding these people. It became, look how sexy she is.
38:16🔗AdamRight, instead of just an abuse victim. Yeah. All right, should we go kill ourselves?
38:46🔗AdamI'm Adam. Hey, that's Drew. Just like the guy said. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Who's on here tomorrow? The cult will be in here tomorrow. That is a good band. And I think they're back. So we'll talk to those guys tomorrow.
39:06🔗AdamThat's the cult. Where's that real signature cult sound? There it is. Now you know it's the cult. All right. We'll talk to them tomorrow. Weren't they in here a few years ago?
39:18🔗DrewI thought it was a few months ago. Like eight months ago, ten months ago.
39:22🔗AdamA year ago? I don't know. Ask Ann when the cult was in. Anderson, you remember about a year ago?
39:34🔗CallerI was physically abused as a child and beaten and battered left and right, but it wasn't until I had a small procedure done at the gynecologist that I found out that I was sexually mutilated.
39:49🔗DrewWhat do you mean you found out? Where were you when that happened?
39:53🔗CallerI had a cyst that needed to be lanced.
39:56🔗DrewNo, no, why didn't you know you had been?
39:59🔗CallerAs far as I can, I have no memory of it whatsoever. I always felt that my mother never crossed that line. But...
40:33🔗DrewNone whatsoever. How about her drug addict friends?
40:37🔗CallerWell, no. She stuck to prescription drugs and she was very paranoid, so she isolated herself. She drove my father away, my brother away, got everybody out of the house. So it was just her and me. And all I could think of was that she did this mutilation when I was a baby.
40:56🔗CallerAccording to the gynecologist, there were straight line scars all over my vaginal injury area. And there was a large purplish area that looked like a permanent bruise. And I could identify that because I have been kicked down there by my mother. But, you know, the doctor started to ask me questions about did you have any surgeries that you know of?
41:26🔗CallerWell, when I started seeing gynecologists, I never had to shave. But because they were dealing with a cyst, I had to shave the area for them to drain the cyst.
42:18🔗CallerWell, I haven't had that many relationships, but until I married my husband, I did fixate on older men, seeing that my father was out of the picture.
42:40🔗AdamDo you think that could be a product of the abuse?
42:42🔗DrewDo you have warts or do you need any cervical procedures or anything?
42:46🔗CallerWell, for a very, very young child, I had a lot of vaginal infection related to unclean underwear, etc.
42:57🔗DrewIf I remember right, the first trimester is more the genetic disorders of the developing fields, while the second third is the cervical competency.
43:05🔗AdamJamie, as you know, I'm a big fan of denial. Your mom's a horrible person that abused you horribly. This may have been something that she caused, or maybe it wasn't. I mean, I don't know. I don't know if there's some sort of a vaginal pathologist who could figure this out.
44:01🔗CallerSince they found the scarring. It was so severe that the doctor even wanted to find out if my husband had done this because he was ready to report him for abuse.
44:19🔗AdamWell, listen, I'm sure when you got this report, it dredged up a lot of feelings. And for women, that's what sex is about, feelings, and it shuts you down for a while. You'll be back on that horse. Also, perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.
44:36🔗AdamAlso, for women who have been through what she's been through, we were just talking about it last night, you get into that manic hyper sex time, and then you have those dormant periods.
44:49🔗DrewYeah. I'm also interested in how you, how you talk about women's connection with their feelings and sex. You say it with outrage, outlandish.
44:57🔗DrewHow dare they? Sex is about feelings, right? Can you imagine that?
45:00🔗AdamIt could, it could be, it's connected to the news, I'm sure. Not the scarring, because you're having plenty good sex before you knew about it.
45:08🔗DrewI wonder if she did that to herself, because sometimes people that are badly abused will cut on themselves, and that's a place they cut.
45:25🔗CallerMy problem is that I had a second trimester abortion about four years ago. Why? I just couldn't have it. I didn't want to have it.
45:38🔗AdamWait. Hold on a second, Drew. We got to go to break. But what is this? Is the next call someone got an M-80 put in their vagina? I'm going nuts here. All these women with these crazy vaginal problems. Well, take some guy who got his dork caught in a blender or something, for Christ's sake. Damien. Enough with the vaginal mutilations. Bring me down. Tara. Easy with all the vag stuff. Who knows what goes on in the old vagina, the old vagina, the old vagina. I'm about ready to sprout a vagina. And it's not going to be in good shape either. We'll take a little break. We'll ramp up with Kimberly and then we'll get to some good penis questions after this. Howdy, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew. The Colt is gonna be in here tomorrow night for all you Colt fans. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Let's hop back, and you don't want to finish up that last one?
47:08🔗CallerYes. Hi. Okay, this is my problem. My problem is that I had a second trimester abortion throughout the pregnancy. I was using Speed heavily. I mean, every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it was just crazy. And ever since about two months after I had it, I've been having these crazy symptoms. I've got a lot of fatigue, bad digestion, recurrent yeast infections, memory loss, headaches.
47:35🔗DrewWell, that's Speed. That's what Speed does. How long have you been off Speed?
47:38🔗CallerI've been off for four years ever since I had the abortion.
47:40🔗DrewWell, unfortunately, it's the memory problems, the mood disturbances, the feeling not right can be permanent from Speed.
47:48🔗CallerBut I also have body odor and skin rashes that doctors say is fungus. I've got low blood pressure, iron deficiency and all these kinds of things. And it's really driving me crazy. I sent a blood sample to the UK to be tested for Candida albicans overgrowth.
48:02🔗DrewKimberly, you're a severe drug addict. You damage parts of your body from that. It's not going to be the same. You're going to have weird symptoms. That's what happens when you've been doing a lot of drugs.
48:12🔗AdamWhy did you send a blood sample to the UK?
48:15🔗CallerBecause I kind of suspected Candida albicans overgrowth.
48:21🔗DrewKimberly, you don't need any of that. You have plenty of reason to have problems. Just with the Speed. What are you doing for your addiction? Are you using anything else now?
48:30🔗CallerNo, I'm completely off of everything. I'm cold turkey and I never missed it.
48:42🔗AdamWhat's with the UK and the Canada? Shouldn't you send your stuff to Canada?
48:47🔗CallerWell, the thing is that nobody wanted to do that blood test for me here. They were like, no, you have depression. All these are...
48:57🔗DrewYeah, that's right. This is all typical of people that have done a lot of Speed and then come off it. It damages the brain. I would say if you want to check out the National Institute of Drug Abuse, they have a bunch of an area in there that shows what happens to brain after periods of Speed exposure, particularly heavy Speed exposure, and depression, all sorts of funny feelings, or normal memory disturbances.
49:20🔗AdamThis could have nothing to do with the abortion?
49:22🔗DrewThis has nothing to do with the abortion.
49:24🔗AdamWhat about the fact that she was doing a lot of Speed when she was pregnant? Does that change anything?
49:37🔗DrewGood questions, but I don't think it makes a difference.
49:39🔗AdamWell, here's the thing that Drew has alerted me to. We always hear about these success stories of all these people are strung out on heroin or Speed or whatever the hell it was, they're on death's door, and that two years later they've been sober, they've been working out, they got it back together. That does happen, but sometimes people don't snap back.
50:12🔗DrewAnd Kimberly, when you don't replace the drugs of addiction with a process like recovery, the mood disturbances and the anxiety are usually profound, so I suggest you get involved in the program of recovery.
50:22🔗AdamAlright, let's talk to Casey, who's 14. Casey?
50:26🔗CallerHey, Adam. I heard the guy with the Icy Hot earlier.
50:42🔗CallerWell, I was playing, I was at a baseball game and my arm hurt, and I got it, I used it with my left hand to get it on my right arm, and I went to the bathroom, and it burned for like half an hour.
50:53🔗AdamYeah. Well, I suspected the guy had a bogus call, but I've never really used that Icy Hot, and because the word Icy was in it, I thought, well.
51:04🔗CallerYeah, I don't know, but Adam, I'd like to tell you, I've gone beyond the writing on my shoes. Your name, Ace Rockolla, is actually in my screen name online.
51:30🔗AdamSee, Drew, what happens when you ask questions?
51:32🔗DrewWell, I'm curious, what didn't you like?
51:33🔗CallerDude, I don't know, it's just the chatting is weird.
51:35🔗AdamLame, right? Lame, oh. Lame with a capital L. Thanks, brother. Hey, you keep up God's work, all right? All right. All right. It's a kindred spirit there. Ace Rockolla is the screen name.
51:49🔗DrewThere's a lot of those. I used to run into some of those guys.
51:52🔗AdamYeah, yeah. You know, it's funny is, I don't know, it just popped in my head, but I remember about, and it was about four years ago, five years ago, somebody had bought the name of like adamcarolla.com.
52:04🔗AdamBecause that was back during the days when they would scam you. They'd spend 65 bucks, register the thing, then they'd have it, and then theoretically, I would buy it back off of them one day when I was ready to launch my website or sell my merchandise.
52:17🔗AdamI still can't turn on the goddamn computer. I'll tell you, that was the worst money, that was the worst money management decision anyone has ever made buying my name for something that has something to do with a computer. I still have no idea what the internet is. I have no idea how to work a computer. I can't type my name.
52:37🔗DrewThat's good, because even if you could get on, you couldn't read it that was there.
52:39🔗AdamNo, I could not read that. That's good. And let me tell you something, if anybody, and this is really funny, sometimes people will say, yeah, some one time someone reported back to me, anyone who knows me would laugh their ass off. Some guy was doing the X, was on like the X show website, which is amazingly cancelled.
53:01🔗DrewWell you ripped them off, of course, now they're going to.
53:03🔗AdamSure, sure, that's right. I remember when the Man Show came out, everyone said, what about the X show? Everyone said, what about the Happy Hour? What about all these other shows? And what was my answer, Drew?
53:16🔗AdamWe'll see. Oh, and the Man Show is going for its fourth episode coming up next. Four season coming up next year. But wild coincidence. But somebody said some guy named Adam Corolla got on the website, the X show website, and they were sure it was me.
54:04🔗CallerNo, not really. But I used to have nightmares about it, but just here since I hit the fifth year, they've gotten really bad and I just don't know how to get rid of them.
54:16🔗DrewHow did you deal with this when it happened?
54:19🔗CallerWell, when it happened, my mother put me into counseling and I was put on Prozac for a while and pretty much isolated from all my friends.
54:33🔗CallerBecause, well, I lived in a real small town in Arkansas and, I mean, it happened on a Saturday night. Everybody found out about it by Sunday morning and it just, it did a lot of damage to me and my mother, I think she really couldn't handle it.
54:48🔗DrewWhy does you being raped do damage to you in terms of your ability to feel ashamed of yourself?
54:55🔗AdamWell, you know, small town and people and...
54:57🔗DrewWait a minute. You were a victim of a violent crime. Why should the town come down on you?
55:03🔗CallerYeah, well, I mean, they did. I mean, pretty much everybody thought it was my fault and I was the one that wanted it. And, what I mean, the guy got his...
55:17🔗CallerOkay, I mean, the guy bought his way out of it and everything. I mean, my town, there's only like 1500 people in it. I mean, his cousin was the sheriff and what not. So, he pretty much bought his way out of it. And so, I never really had closure from it.
55:34🔗CallerWell, I was spending the night at a friend's house and we thought, hey, we're going to be cool and sneak out to this older guy's party or whatever. And, I mean, I liked him and I thought I could trust him or whatever and we ended up drinking. I drank, I don't even know how much ever clear and got really drunk. And, I mean, I can remember everything that happened that night. I mean, just saying no and everything else.
56:15🔗CallerWell, actually, our moms were looking for us that night because they came in, like, her mom came into the room to tell us something and we weren't there and called my mom and my mom knew exactly, you know, she's like, I know exactly where they are. And right after it happened, my mother showed up. I had, you know, just, I had blood all over me and my mom showed up.
56:39🔗CallerI mean, I was, I have a huge scar on the inside of my vaginal wall from it, from where he was, where he forced himself in, because it was my first time and everything.
56:58🔗AdamAnd what, and what happened? How did he buy his way out of it?
57:02🔗CallerI mean, he pretty much just said, I mean, had all his friends up there, started going against me and saying no. You know, she was the one that was saying, yeah, I want it, I want it. And I mean, in the town, it depends on how much money you had to see where things would go. You know what I'm saying?
57:21🔗AdamWhat do you mean, how much money you had?
57:23🔗CallerI mean, the more, the people that had the most money, you know, they could get anybody to believe them. Why? Just the way small Arkansas hick towns are.
57:41🔗CallerLike, I don't know what happened. I mean, it never, we were never called to court about it or nothing. I mean, my mother did what she could. I mean, we had like thousands and thousands of dollars worth of hospital bills that, you know.
57:55🔗AdamWhy didn't, and those, the medical records weren't brought into the court?
57:58🔗CallerThey were, but they also looked at my blood alcohol level, which was four times the legal limit, and they were trying to pin it on my mom, saying she wasn't taking care of me or whatever, because I was a minor and...
58:16🔗CallerWell, because she knew I liked the guy, and like, and I was like, you know, I was like, oh, that's where he, that's where his friends live and they party or whatever. My mom has a photographing memory. She remembers where they lived.
58:55🔗CallerBecause, I mean, it's just, I used to, I'd have nightmares about it, and I wouldn't remember.
59:00🔗DrewLaura, there's a ton going on here, a ton. Just dealing with the alcoholic stepdad, the abandoning father, those two things by themselves enough to get back and do a little work. And now with all the trauma and you have to move, you have friends now?
59:12🔗CallerWell, I moved in with my mom's younger sister back that summer, my freshman year, because I got a job in Texas at an amusement park, and I've just stayed here, and I mean, I've got great friends down here.
59:22🔗AdamAt 15, you got a job at an amusement park?
59:30🔗DrewWell, that's not that far. Are you in college now?
59:31🔗AdamWell, I know. It's just weird moving to another state at 15 and working there.
59:36🔗CallerWell, it was all my choice, and I came down here and started working, and I just made all kinds of friends. I was like, I don't want to go home.
59:44🔗DrewAll right. So there's a lot of good stuff happening, but it could sort of derail if you don't take care of some of this stuff, and the symptoms you're having now I think can really be dealt with. Yeah. And it may actually be time for some pharmacotherapy, some medication too. Really?
59:57🔗DrewJust because the affect attached to all this is going to start to surface, and it could get difficult for her to manage while she's trying to deal with school and other things.
1:00:27🔗CallerYeah, it's final week right now. Real good times.
1:00:29🔗AdamYeah, you know what I was remembering as I was driving back from Santa Barbara today? You know the good thing about growing up in a town and remaining there your whole life is you don't have to go back and visit the old neighborhood. You can drive down. You know, you hear those stories that the, you know, some prize fighter says that he drives down to his old neighborhood in Brooklyn. Except for this time, he's wearing a fur coat. He has a pinky ring and he's driving in a limousine.
1:01:14🔗AdamThe party house. But here's my point. I was driving home from Santa Barbara today. It was a beautiful day. I was in a beautiful car and I had a beautiful meeting and everything was great. And I was thinking as I was driving back about the time I drove to Isla Vista, which is ten miles further than Santa Barbara, which is a hundred miles. Takes an hour and 45 minutes to get there. I was on my motorcycle.
1:01:39🔗AdamIt started raining when I got on the freeway off of Laurel Canyon in North Hollywood. And it poured and it was at night and it was during the winter. And I just, I was hanging on the white knuckled on to these blue knuckled on to my handlebars. I was going, when you drive at 75 and it's raining hard, it beats on you. And I, and I peed on myself.
1:02:07🔗AdamSomewhere around Oxnard. I just myself. I said, look, I couldn't get any wetter. I couldn't get any colder. Why not just pee on myself?
1:02:16🔗DrewI didn't even get the pee out when you're leaning over your handlebars, frozen to death.
1:02:20🔗AdamYou'll go. Well, I could have had to start going in, in like West Hills and just started flowing around Oxnard or Ventura. Well, anyway, good time.
1:02:30🔗DrewI think everyone who's a loser in college makes that trip to Santa Barbara. I was different before I did that.
1:02:36🔗AdamYeah. Good times over there. What's up there, Annika?
1:02:39🔗DrewI don't mean people who are there are losers. I mean, those of us that were down here at any period of time, we always try to go up there.
1:02:45🔗AdamThey used to have a good Halloween party out there.
1:02:47🔗CallerYeah. Not so much anymore. There's like 20 foot patrol to every block now. Yeah.
1:02:52🔗AdamThey used to block off the street. Everyone would do drugs and just wander around.
1:02:55🔗DrewYour car almost turned over. Remember that? Wasn't that in Halloween?
1:03:13🔗CallerSo I was dating this guy for like a month and he had these little brown spots on his penis that looked like freckles and I've never seen freckles on a penis before.
1:04:36🔗CallerAnyways, I get bad migraines now. I've been having them ever since the accident. And the doctor prescribed me, I'm a track. But like he never prescribed like the amount I should be taking daily or whatever. And like he gives me their 50-milligram tablets.
1:04:53🔗CallerAnd the only thing he told me to do was to break them in half.
1:04:56🔗DrewYou definitely should not be taking more than 100 milligrams a day. And you should definitely not be taking them every day.
1:05:02🔗CallerSee, I take them like, I take 25 milligrams, like usually around 11 or noon. And then I take another 25 milligrams.
1:05:08🔗DrewWell, basically these aren't migraines. And so the image track, well, there's something to do with the neck. It's either muscular headaches with scalp muscle headache from the neck injury or it's something else.
1:05:21🔗AdamI know they're not migraines. Because they wouldn't be connected to the accident.
1:05:26🔗DrewThey aren't day in and day out like that. And they go away with image tracks. They go away.
1:05:38🔗DrewDarvuset. Yeah, there you go. That's why you have the headaches and back pain.
1:05:41🔗CallerWell, I take a half a darvuset with the imitrax. And he said, Imitrax, ibuprofen, or Motrin 800s, and then the darvusets. And I could take like, you know, he said I can take them all together because they're, you know, I guess in the same family.
1:05:59🔗DrewHow much darvuset are you taking a day?
1:06:01🔗CallerI just take a half a darvuset. I think they're 500 milligrams.
1:06:16🔗CallerJust one, yeah, one full tablet a day. But like, he doesn't...
1:06:20🔗DrewThe imitrex can start giving you headaches if you use too much of it. So just, you know, you need to get evaluated by somebody specialized in headaches.
1:06:26🔗AdamHey, can you get migraines from an accident?
1:06:40🔗CallerRight, but I mean, I don't know. It's just he didn't, he never, he never told me don't take more than this.
1:06:46🔗DrewI'm telling you, don't take more than a hundred milligrams a day. But I think taking it every day is way too much. And you really don't even have a migraine. So the use of Imitrex is sort of questionable here.
1:06:56🔗DrewYeah, migraines, headaches can have multiple causes. And these medicines like Imitrex can be useful even without classic migraines. But I've seen people get, you know, with this kind of thing, he just sort of, he's threading water, he doesn't have a good treatment plan.
1:07:10🔗AdamNo easier thing for your body to produce than a headache if it wants something too.
1:07:15🔗AdamI mean that's the easiest thing to sum it up.
1:07:17🔗DrewThat's absolutely what happens. And the withdrawal from the medicines cause headache. Right. So you got the pain reward mechanism and the withdrawal.
1:09:37🔗DrewHis laser and his microdermabrasion. He's really become quite an expert in this stuff, but the thing he's becoming known for is tattoo removal.
1:09:44🔗DrewAnd he also can do these laser facials and get rid of wrinkles and all kinds of fun stuff.
1:09:49🔗AdamHe came over and played basketball on Sunday. Yeah. Dr. Bruce fills in for Dr. Drew from time to time. Anyone who listens to the show knows his name. He is all Adam's apple and elbows that guy. I mean, I said to a guy, when he guards you, it's like an evil sorcerer put a curse on a scarecrow and animated it, brought it to life and had it guard you.
1:11:02🔗CallerI've been in relationships before. I was always with men before, too. And this is my first experience with a woman. I've been with her for four years now.
1:11:54🔗AdamI just want to get sack in there. So you're saying, with the rectum, you theoretically could fish a jump rope up there, and it would keep going. There's no end to it.
1:12:07🔗DrewSo he got used to being able to go in as far as he wanted to, which is not a good thing.
1:12:11🔗CallerYeah, and see, it was a friend of mine, and I talk to him all the time. And am I allowed to say his first name?
1:12:20🔗AdamWhat are you talking about? This is bogus.
1:15:05🔗AdamBorn gay, the life is to live gay. This is born gay. I appreciate that. No, because if you think about all the guys with all the affect, all the guys that just make the guys you want to throttle because they're gay on top of gay with some gay sprinkled on top of it, that's all because they got effed with and now it's gay for the world and it's hostile gay and it's gay that we have to know but this John, he's born gay. It doesn't affect other parts of his life.
1:15:41🔗CallerAnd there's not too many people out there when I work, they know I'm gay.
1:15:44🔗AdamNo, you know, he's gay to the bone, inside his bone, not marrow, semen, another man's semen in it. Well, first off, forget about women if you're gay. I mean, you know, if you're going to be gay, be gay. I think you got to stick with men and you don't have to worry about hurting them because they got a bottomless salad bowl.
1:19:16🔗DrewGood. Your job is to, oh my god, not when she's depressed. That'll destabilize things more.
1:19:21🔗CallerThe hard thing is when she was 13, when she went out to the sky, he was 20. And so they, they went out and then her mom broke him up and, and she was really depressed. They were in love. And so she's kind of like, um, I'm not, I'm not falling in love with you yet. I'm not going to tell you I love you until I really do. Cause then it'll, it'll hurt me if like we break up.
1:19:47🔗DrewI would suggest you take your time. You not be concerned with managing her psychiatric status. You make sure she gets the care she needs and that she's following up properly. And other than that, be a, be a caring boyfriend.
1:19:59🔗AdamI know this has come up before Drew. Um, um, but I just keep, it keeps coming back to my mind and I can't get my mind around it, which is we talk to these girls and all the hell they've been through.
1:20:14🔗AdamAll they've seen and how fast they mature, how quickly they become sexual. She's 13. She's in love with the 20 year old guy. She tried to commit suicide. Maybe some sexual abuse, maybe a little physical abuse. We don't know for sure. You know, there's maybe a little substance abuse and a dad that went AWOL. God knows when. Now she's hooked up with 15 year old Chris. Chris' life has existed basically. He's lived on Pac-Man and Nintendo and watching Dukes of Hazzard reruns. He likes giving his buddies wedgies.
1:20:53🔗DrewAnd collecting Pokemon. Now he's dealing with this.
1:20:59🔗AdamNow he's got this and he's lost and they're talking about love and they're talking about commitment. He doesn't even know where he is. I mean, you would rather have a chipmunk perform brain surgery on you than have this poor guy deal with this baggage known as his 15-year-old girlfriend.
1:21:16🔗DrewWell, just think about the fact that his penis just turned on too. He just became interested in all this about a year or so ago.
1:21:22🔗AdamHe's horny, he's producing sperm, he's in love, and he's got a handful. You know what I mean? This is like you getting your learner's permit and somebody giving you a Ferrari Testarossa and a pair of pliers and saying, hey, good luck. You got to keep it up, it's all yours, just whatever. How long before the guy just wrapped it around the telephone pole?
1:22:33🔗AdamEngineer Anderson is going to find the Airplane Turbulence Public Service announcement. Because let me say something, everyone. I've got to be quite honest with you all. It's my job to take your calls and try to help you and do that every night.
1:22:51🔗AdamOh yeah, that's right. It's Drew's job. It's part of my job. But I need to entertain myself as well. Otherwise, I won't be... You know, it's like you got to let your employee play a little hacky sack every once in a while in the hall so he can be more productive.
1:23:05🔗DrewIn these creative environments where they put like basketball hoops in the middle of the office.
1:23:42🔗AdamAll right. Well, there you go. All right. Now, do you have it, Anderson? Because I would like to critique this for a second. Please, we're not going to help anyone.
1:23:49🔗DrewFirst of all, let's just guess how much money was spent developing this thing.
1:23:53🔗AdamI don't know. I don't care. But what they do...
1:23:56🔗DrewBut your tax dollars go into crap like this.
1:23:58🔗AdamRight. Well, it doesn't matter whether it was a nickel or $5 million. It's too much. Here's the point.
1:24:06🔗DrewThe scary thing is probably more than $5 million.
1:24:08🔗AdamNo, it is not. To produce a public service announcement?
1:24:13🔗AdamWell, the stations have to do it. They have to play a certain amount of these things. Here's the deal. In order to keep your FCC license, you have to play a certain amount of these public service announcements. These are things that are put together by different organizations in order to sort of better the community that the radio station serves. And that's great. They're talking about AIDS. And of course, you know, the only cure for AIDS is what?
1:24:39🔗AdamDon't get it. Not getting the AIDS, right. So there's that brilliant little aphorisms like that. But they come out with them, and some make sense. Now, I would like to just yell, hey, listen, all you, Mongoloids, stop breeding. That would be my PSA. And let's get that morning after pill going. But no, they want to talk about airplane turbulence, which, to my knowledge, is not a big social problem in this country. Drew, are you aware if anyone's ever been injured? And everyone, close your eyes. Here's what I'd like you to do.
1:25:07🔗DrewYou know, when you go on planes, they usually don't give you any instruction about...
1:25:12🔗AdamOh, no, no. I was on a flight just the other week where they mentioned something about a seatbelt. Drew, you're wrong.
1:25:19🔗AdamSee, it's called a seatbelt. Yeah, she talked into that thing that, with the speakers in the cabin. PA system. She said something about a seatbelt.
1:25:28🔗AdamIt's this thing that, you know what you have in your car? Or it goes around your lap? Oh, oh, oh, oh. They got that in airplanes, still.
1:25:34🔗DrewBut then you shut the door, it goes across.
1:25:35🔗AdamThat's right. They don't talk about it much. Probably only between 750 and 800 goddamn times when you get on an airplane. So they come out with PSAs like the following. Anderson?
1:25:53🔗AdamCan we go back and forth with this? I really like to break this thing down. Can we start from the top here? All right, I'll tell you when to hold it. All right.
1:26:35🔗CallerBut there's something the human body isn't built to withstand. Unexpected turbulence.
1:26:41🔗AdamAll right. Now, stop it there. Stop it there. Now, let me just shoot a hole in this PSA premise, which is, and I would like to talk to the that make this thing, because I guarantee there are more injuries in football. Pop Warner High School, College, Junior College, and at the pro level. I guarantee that there are 1000 injuries for every one injury caused by airplane turbulence in just football.
1:27:10🔗CallerSo you bring up the goddamn thing that causes more injuries than the thing you're going to warn us about. In your example, how about rollerblading? What kind of son of tarred are you?
1:27:24🔗AdamI guarantee that if you combine football and rollerblading, it would dwarf the amount of injuries that happened during airplane turbulence.
1:27:33🔗CallerInfantessible. Infantessible. Why is that in your example? Why? Why in your example? Why put two things?
1:27:44🔗DrewWhy not just put motor vehicle accidents? You're meant to withstand motor vehicle accidents, or auto versus pedestrian.
1:27:52🔗AdamWhy not just put the goddamn cancer in there or heart disease, everybody? Okay, so now everyone close your eyes and think about anyone you've ever known has been injured via airplane turbulence. Okay, now I'm going to expand that. Anybody you've heard of, any celebrity, any dignitary, any public figure, any, ah, here's a good example, pro athletes, Los Angeles Lakers flying back and forth to Philadelphia. Baseball teams play 85 games a year on the road, millions and millions and millions of miles logged every year by professional athletes. Is there ever heard of one of them who could not make the game because of turbulence?
1:28:35🔗DrewAs opposed to the injuries they incur while playing the games, such as football.
1:28:39🔗AdamYes, yes. Half of the Philadelphia 76ers are not playing in the series because of injuries, not because of airplane turbulence. And yes, get around playoff time in the football season, check the roster out.
1:29:19🔗AdamI'll tell you what, I spend my entire flight in a lotus position upside down on my seat drinking and I've never been told otherwise. Never had anybody, there's no goddamn light that come. What about that noise that the pilot kicks the thing on and off? The pilot said you can take your seatbelt off but go back to your seat, go where we're landing.
1:29:40🔗DrewDoes he have to explain to them what to do? He must. Safety belt.
1:29:44🔗AdamKeep going, Anderson. This is where your taxpayer dollars are going, everybody.
1:29:48🔗CallerSo next time you fly, stay buckled up the whole time because after all, turbulence happens and you're just not built for it. This message is a public service of this state.
1:29:59🔗AdamNow, everyone knows that being jostled in a padded seat is far worse than being blindsided by 270-pound linebackers blitzing or running into a lamp post when you're rollerblading. Of course, that is the worst goddamn PSA I've ever heard in my life. And the only thing worse than that is the 50,000 people that die every year from second-hand smoke. I would like to get those two people who constructed those PSAs to get together and have a class action lawsuit against them on behalf of radio stations and their consumers.
1:30:29🔗DrewWe could be spending more time on airport laptop computer theft after all.
1:30:33🔗AdamThat is the other PSA that drives me through the effing roof. Please, I don't know who these groups are. Is there some lobby group for turbulence? What is going on? Is that the biggest fish we have to fry in this country? Airplane turbulence? We got junkies, we got school shootings, we got unemployment, we got domestic abuse. That's all we can talk about.
