1:13🔗 Voiceover Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist.

1:26🔗 Drew I'll be Nero for the night.

1:28🔗 Adam I know Drew is hungry. And it was funny in classic Loveline tradition. Tara, don't call me Tara, the phone screener. Drew asked for some nuts. I think we were out of them. She just held up one of those sort of almost clear keg-size things of pretzels. You buy them at the Price Club with a smart final iris. It's the, you know, it holds 300 pretzels. She held the one up. I don't think there was half a pretzel in there. I mean, if you, if we broke it all down and poured it into a pretzel mold, I think we could get a pretzel and a half out. But there was like, you know what, you know what ends up at the bottom of the pretzel jar?

2:06🔗 Drew That's what she was showing us.

2:08🔗 Adam It looks like somebody backed over a pretzel container and then dumped the scraps. That's not gonna do for you, Drew?

2:18🔗 Drew No, not tonight.

2:19🔗 Adam All right, all right there. I remember when pretzel remnants were good enough for you, Drew.

2:25🔗 Drew There was a time, I suppose.

2:26🔗 Adam Yeah, there was a time. And by the way, here's how you know you've really arrived. You stop finishing off food by holding the sack to your mouth and hitting the bottom of it. I used to finish everything in two ways. I would either lick whatever paper, the burrito or the burger, became wrapped in or scrape it off with my nail, or just turn the sack of fritos over and if there's nothing in there, I still, if I give it a little whack on the bottom, I could get a little powder. Maybe some MSG and a little salt would fall into my mouth. But a psychological victory. Now I just eat the whole ones. And then the half ones. I don't go smaller than half. That means you've arrived. Alex?

3:08🔗 Caller Yeah.

3:08🔗 Adam You're 15.

3:09🔗 Caller Yeah.

3:09🔗 Adam What's up?

3:10🔗 Caller My girlfriend gave me a hand job. And about an hour after that and until it's been going on until today, my left testicle has been hurting every time I take a leak. It burned.

3:22🔗 Drew Really?

3:23🔗 Caller Yeah.

3:24🔗 Adam Burning.

3:25🔗 A hand job.

3:26🔗 Adam Irritated.

3:26🔗 Drew Urethra. Urethra. Was she extra vigorous?

3:30🔗 Caller A little, yeah.

3:30🔗 Drew She was too aggressive, huh?

3:32🔗 Adam Did it take a little while?

3:34🔗 Caller No. Normal. She just went pretty hard and fast.

3:37🔗 Drew Yeah. All right. Well.

3:38🔗 Adam You guys in a hurry? Had to make a movie?

3:40🔗 Drew Did you ask her to maybe slow down a little bit?

3:43🔗 Caller No. We were both kind of in the mood, you know?

3:46🔗 Drew Yeah. Your mood was a total shock that somebody would give you a hand job. You wouldn't want to destroy the moment by speaking up, right?

3:52🔗 Adam But it is a guy, first off, you feel no pain when you have an erection, and you have a woman latched on your honker at 15. And number two-

4:01🔗 Drew That's the point. He's in shock.

4:02🔗 Adam But number two, as a guy, it's like, as a guy, when you're driving with someone, you don't want to say slow down.

4:09🔗 Drew Right.

4:10🔗 Adam You seem like a puss.

4:11🔗 Drew That's right.

4:11🔗 Adam You don't want to say slow down to anything. Oh, Drew got himself some nuts and a couple sacks of triscuits. Join me. And this is great. This big score. I'll trade you all that for these almonds right here. All right. All right. So maybe he irritated the urethra. So what should he do?

4:27🔗 Drew Well, and then what happens is the sometimes that inflammation gets down into the epididymis and you get an epididymitis on top of that. So that is something that may need to be treated. You might just try some anti-inflammatory, some Advil or some over-the-counter, see if it takes care of it. But if it doesn't, it is important that you see a urologist. It's not like you're going to get an STD from a hand job.

4:45🔗 Caller No, I know that.

4:46🔗 Drew Yeah. But you do get, you can't get symptoms like that and can get the urethritis from the mechanical irritation, then can get what's called epididymitis.

4:53🔗 Adam What's the technique, Alex? Is it a full fist technique?

4:56🔗 Caller Yeah.

4:57🔗 Adam Nice. That means you got something to work with.

5:00🔗 Caller Yeah. Yeah.

5:01🔗 Adam Okay. Mr. Personality over there, by the way. Why is it all the guys who are void of a personality get the most hand jobs? In high school.

5:11🔗 Drew At the youngest age.

5:12🔗 Yeah.

5:14🔗 Adam Here it's like you have a small vocabulary, you're sort of abrupt, you have no real personality, you're a little antisocial. God will repay you with a hand job, possibly oral sex. Well, what kind of justice is that? Okay. He'll be fine. Take an Advil. See what it feels in a couple of days.

5:32🔗 Drew Yeah. Let's see some of it. It's not getting better.

5:34🔗 Adam All right. Jake.

5:36🔗 Caller Yeah.

5:37🔗 Adam You're 18. What's up?

5:38🔗 Caller I have an extra hole above my anus. It's about, I don't know, like two inches, I guess. There's a bump to the left side of it.

5:48🔗 Drew Right. That when I push on it hard enough, sometimes something comes out of it.

5:52🔗 Caller Oh, yeah.

5:53🔗 And blood as well.

5:54🔗 Drew My. That's called a weight. It's called a pylonyto cyst. Okay.

5:58🔗 Caller Okay.

5:59🔗 Drew And they can get become abscessed. They can be a real mess and they need to be surgically removed. They don't get better by themselves typically.

6:05🔗 Adam Good times.

6:06🔗 Caller I've had it for a long time.

6:07🔗 Drew Have you ever had somebody look at it?

6:09🔗 Caller Yeah.

6:09🔗 Drew I had this Northopedist look at it.

6:11🔗 Caller But I mean, he said it was topical and I could have removed, but it wasn't a big problem.

6:15🔗 Drew He told you it was a pylonyl cyst, right?

6:16🔗 Caller He didn't say it. He just said it was topical.

6:18🔗 Adam Drew, for autobody work, they have something called Bondo.

6:23🔗 Drew Yeah.

6:23🔗 Adam It's like a two-part, a catalyst and a resin. What about filling it up with something?

6:27🔗 I think I'm going to skip that.

6:28🔗 Drew Well, now what you could do is there are glues now, glues for body parts as opposed to suturing. No, they can actually, one of the things some surgeons might do is put something down the cyst, tract, slice it open, and then...

6:44🔗 Adam Glue it shut?

6:45🔗 Drew They wouldn't glue it shut, though, because that tends to cause it to reform. They let it heal from the inside out. And yeah, it's going to stay there until you get it taken out, so... Okay.

6:53🔗 Adam Well, that must be, whatever comes out of there must have a funk all its own.

7:00🔗 Drew Oh yeah.

7:00🔗 Adam I mean, does it?

7:01🔗 Yeah, it's got a little bit of a smell to it.

7:03🔗 Adam A little bit.

7:05🔗 Drew It's called putrid.

7:06🔗 Adam Yeah. Well, you know what I love about the body is it manufactures such a wide variety of smells.

7:13🔗 Drew Yeah.

7:14🔗 Adam You got your urine smell, you got your ass smell, you got your underarm smell. And just think, you even got your like earwax smell, but you got that whole thing then from another planet, which is that under the sack, that sweaty ball smell.

7:27🔗 Drew You've been deprived of some of these things too, huh?

7:29🔗 Adam Some of the smells?

7:30🔗 Drew You don't smell.

7:31🔗 Adam I'm not a big smeller, but you want to get in touch with my sack after a long day.

7:36🔗 Drew Oh, really?

7:37🔗 Adam You're going to find something there.

7:38🔗 Drew That's where it all goes, huh?

7:39🔗 Adam Yeah, it does come out there, yeah. Thank you. Totally different than what's going on under the armpits, by the way. But would never mistake the two for the same. You know what I'm saying?

7:49🔗 Drew Yeah, 500 times worse, but yeah.

7:51🔗 Adam That's right. Hobo, hobo times hobo factor.

7:56🔗 Drew Six-hobo power.

7:57🔗 Adam Oh, power, that's right. You know, Drew and I haven't discussed this for a long time, but one of the things we stumbled on to earlier on in our careers is that there was no way of measuring stink.

8:08🔗 Drew Right, no stinko meter, units of stink.

8:12🔗 Adam Right, and you know, they have a way to measure just about everything, but not really the stinko meter, and there's not even really a name for it.

8:20🔗 Drew No.

8:21🔗 Adam And so we were talking once, and I think a guy said this chick smelled like 100 hobos between her legs, and we decided we should come up with the hobo factor.

8:30🔗 Drew Hobo power.

8:31🔗 Adam Hobo power.

8:31🔗 Drew It was horsepower, hobo power.

8:33🔗 Adam Yeah, and hobo, you know, power 6, power to 10, power to 15.

8:37🔗 Drew 12 hobo power.

8:38🔗 Adam Yeah, I don't know what the highest would be.

8:40🔗 Drew 300 hobo power, wow.

8:41🔗 Adam Whoa, that's a high-performance hobo. Tara?

8:44🔗 Yeah.

8:45🔗 Adam You're 18?

8:46🔗 Caller Yes, sir.

8:47🔗 Adam What's up? You're depressed?

8:49🔗 Caller No. Sunday morning, like at about 1 a.m., maybe midnight, I don't know, I don't really remember. I was attacked and almost raped by this drunk guy that I was trying to help.

9:02🔗 Drew Hang on, this Sunday?

9:03🔗 Caller Yeah.

9:03🔗 Drew Just a couple of days ago. All right.

9:05🔗 Caller Yeah.

9:06🔗 Adam Okay. Yesterday, wasn't it? Sunday?

9:09🔗 Drew Today, Monday?

9:10🔗 Adam Yeah.

9:10🔗 Drew Yeah, okay.

9:11🔗 Adam Okay, this happened yesterday. Where were you trying to help him?

9:15🔗 Caller Well, we were on the beach with some friends, and he lost his friends. He couldn't find them. And he said he didn't know where he lived. So this girl and I were like, okay, well, we see someone in the pier, so we'll walk you down there, and we'll see if we, if that's them. And it ended up not being them. And he, like, drove us down to the water, where he proceeded to, like, kiss us.

9:37🔗 Drew He dragged you down to the water?

9:39🔗 Caller Yeah.

9:39🔗 Drew Both of you?

9:40🔗 Caller Yeah.

9:41🔗 Drew How did he hang on to you?

9:43🔗 Caller Like, by our arms. He was really strong.

9:45🔗 Caller Huh.

9:46🔗 Drew Okay.

9:46🔗 Caller Wow.

9:47🔗 Adam Okay. So he dragged both of you toward the water? And was there any lifeguards or anything?

9:52🔗 Caller Oh, no. It was, like, at one o'clock in the morning.

9:55🔗 Drew Pitch black.

9:55🔗 Adam Oh, I see. Oh, I didn't know it was that late. Okay. So he dragged you down toward the water, and then what?

10:01🔗 Caller And then, um, he, like, pulled us down to the water, and he was, like, trying to finger us and trying to kiss us and trying to get...

10:10🔗 Drew Simultaneously, too.

10:12🔗 Caller Yeah.

10:13🔗 Adam One of you couldn't have gotten away when he was trying to finger you?

10:15🔗 Caller Well, we were trying, but the waves were breaking pretty hard, and it was kind of hard to...

10:19🔗 Drew Were you intoxicated?

10:20🔗 Caller No. No, no.

10:21🔗 Caller Wow.

10:23🔗 Adam All right. I, um, I know this is dramatic, but I know Drew and I also have some problems with this story. I mean, I, uh, but we'll get to those. Nothing's your fault, but how two girls, when he's trying to, like, finger you and stuff, don't you, you can't... Waves, you gotta hold him...

10:39🔗 Drew Hold with one hand...

10:40🔗 Adam Can one person get running one direction or another?

10:43🔗 Caller Well, we were kind of smacking him away and we didn't want... I didn't want to leave him with her because he could have, like, accidentally drowned her or raped her or something.

10:51🔗 Adam All right.

10:51🔗 Drew All right, so somebody was standing by to watch the other. All right, that makes sense now.

10:53🔗 Adam All right, so then what?

10:54🔗 Caller So we finally drug him out of the water and stupid, dumbasses we were, we didn't want him to drown, for some reason. So we got him out of the water and we got him walking again and he stopped and he fell down and he pulled my friend on top of him and they were like rolling over and I pushed him off and my friend and her friend came and he like intimidated him because he was a huge guy and he walked away and then we got in the car and then we reported it to the police.

11:27🔗 Adam That's good.

11:27🔗 Drew That's good. And you're still not feeling right now, is that right?

11:31🔗 Caller No, I'm not.

11:32🔗 Drew Yeah, I mean it's normal to have a post-traumatic stress reaction after something like that. That's pretty hairy. Thank God you made it through sort of unscathed and learned something from it. But yeah, you're going to not sleep right and have a little anxiety and startle more easily and maybe even get a little depressed for a couple of days. Sure.

11:47🔗 Caller Because my mom said it was my fault. It was something that I did.

11:51🔗 Drew That makes you feel much better, huh?

11:52🔗 Caller When I came home she even asked me if I was okay. She just looked at me and said that I was a whore and that I should have got raped and that if I did I would have deserved it.

12:02🔗 Drew Oh my, what's with your mom?

12:03🔗 Adam Well, she makes some points. That's not being hard.

12:06🔗 Drew How's your dad in all this?

12:09🔗 Caller He hasn't talked to me. He won't talk to me.

12:13🔗 Drew To me, this, the whole situation seems sort of, this isn't even victimization. It's sort of normal, naïve 17, 18 year old stumbling around.

12:22🔗 Adam I understand that, but let's get a little back story. Did your mom say, don't go to the beach, or you shouldn't have been there at night, or what were you doing drinking at the beach at 1 a.m. Or whatever it was.

12:32🔗 Drew Was she trying to make some other point, is what Adam's saying?

12:34🔗 Caller Well, she said that I shouldn't have gone to Clearwater Beach, because she says that the only reason why you'd go there is to get laid, but that's not why we went.

12:41🔗 Drew Well, you and I went there together.

12:43🔗 Adam Yeah.

12:44🔗 Drew Clearwater Beach. Cornhole, Drew.

12:46🔗 Adam It was great. But we were there?

12:48🔗 Drew That place with the peanuts. Remember we ate peanuts in that place? It was by the water. How was that?

12:53🔗 Adam Oh, yeah. We were in Florida.

12:54🔗 Caller Yeah.

12:54🔗 Adam We were in Clearwater.

12:55🔗 Caller Yeah.

12:56🔗 Adam I tried to rape Drew. I wouldn't have any of it.

12:58🔗 Drew I fought him off. I tried to finger him.

12:59🔗 Adam All right. Tried. Smell me. Tara?

13:03🔗 Caller Yeah.

13:03🔗 Adam Okay. I'm sorry for what happened, and I'm sorry that your parents are sort of insensitive. I'm sure there's a little more backstory here with maybe you defying them a little bit in general, them not being real happy with your grades and your defiance and that kind of stuff.

13:21🔗 Caller It's not really that. It's, well, maybe, because they kind of sheltered me my whole life.

13:25🔗 Drew Right. That's what I get. That's what I get, is that you really have been so sheltered, you don't have the judgment to know a problem when you see one and then to get yourself out of one, and then to really defend yourself properly against an intruder.

13:38🔗 Adam Well, she did a decent job.

13:39🔗 Drew You did a decent job, though, on the day it was done. Your parents, obviously, are very anguished. They love you very much, and this is their own fear. Unfortunately, it's harming.

13:48🔗 Adam I don't know about very much with the horror comment.

13:49🔗 Drew Well, it's harming her, and it's really pathetic and sad. I would certainly tell your parents how painful and how destructive their feelings are.

13:58🔗 Adam Also, not to deny anything, any part of your story, but here it goes. Women, especially. Guys do this, too, but please tell me I'm right here, Drew, because I had a pain in the ass troubled sister myself. I used to get in all kinds of trouble. They hear feelings. They take feelings, and they translate them into words.

14:19🔗 Drew Oh, your sister does, yeah.

14:21🔗 Adam My sister did this all growing up. A lot of our young female callers do this. Guys don't do it too much. Like you're saying, geez, you were assaulted at the beach. Your mom called you a whore? No. I'll bet you what mom said is, is you shouldn't have been there. I told you not to go there. I told you not to go. She didn't say it's your fault. She said, I warned you about going to those places at night with these guys. The people that go there are whores. Probably the word whore was not brought up, but probably there was some, they made it, made them partially responsible, and that's what they heard. You whore, it's your fault.

14:59🔗 Drew Why don't you ask her, just out of curiosity. Maybe she can be your street about that. Tara, did she use the word whore? Oh, not exactly.

15:08🔗 Adam Alright, thank you.

15:10🔗 Liar whore, liar whore, you know it.

15:14🔗 Adam What must it be like for me to be right almost all the time? Think about that, Drew.

15:20🔗 Drew Well, what I hate is that-

15:21🔗 Adam She just got done saying her mom called her a whore. And I, based on nothing, said, no, she didn't call her whore. And she said not in those words. Anne could have very easily said yes, she did.

15:32🔗 Drew Yeah, could have.

15:33🔗 Adam It's gotta be tough. It's a burden.

15:35🔗 Drew But now we're gonna have 12 callers call her. You were hard on that girl. How dare you? You know all the time, huh? Sure, Mr. Smart.

15:44🔗 Adam No, listen, I'm glad nothing bad happened to her. I do know there's something going on with her defying her parents. And I don't like her hanging around.

15:51🔗 Drew Well, here's the deal. She is steeped in shame. Her parents have shamed the hell out of her because they haven't given her a chance to individuate properly. And now this is the price of that. This is this is eating disorder, Bill.

16:00🔗 Adam All right. She's 18. Go off to college.

16:03🔗 Drew Yes, absolutely.

16:03🔗 Adam Sheila?

16:04🔗 Yeah.

16:05🔗 Adam You're 15? What's up?

16:08🔗 Caller Well, I have a problem.

16:10🔗 I kind of have a couple of questions. One for you because you talk a lot and the other one for Dr. Drew. All right. I'll start with Dr. Drew because he's quick and easy. Dr. Drew, I'm going to be playing football with boys. What kind of safety precautions should I know about or take care of? From the standpoint of playing with guys?

16:34🔗 Drew Well, listen, it's not fair for me. I'm not a trainer of female contact football.

16:40🔗 Adam She just wanted to talk about playing with guys. So let's talk about that.

16:44🔗 Caller No, I want to know if I should...

16:46🔗 Drew I know of no special other than obviously appropriate gear and how your trainer should be able to help you with that.

16:50🔗 Adam Well, here's the way I look at it. You have brass and a lot of guys focus on that. Hey, I got a set of brass between my legs. You know what I'm saying?

17:00🔗 Drew You got more than that.

17:01🔗 Adam You got more than that. So you get to avoid that whole need in the groin aspect of the game. What position are you playing?

17:08🔗 Linebacker.

17:10🔗 Adam Why?

17:11🔗 Caller Why?

17:11🔗 Caller Because I want to.

17:13🔗 Drew You ever played before?

17:14🔗 Caller No. This is my first year. I'm going to be on the JV team.

17:17🔗 Drew You've never played football before?

17:19🔗 Adam What do you think she played?

17:20🔗 Caller I played other sports before.

17:21🔗 Drew Is there a pop one that Crows can play in or anything?

17:25🔗 Adam Mm-mm.

17:27🔗 Caller Hold on.

17:27🔗 Drew They can't be excluded.

17:28🔗 Adam No. They could play. They just never do. All right. So you're going out for the JV team.

17:33🔗 Drew I'm in 15 being a female going to football the first time. That's heavy duty.

17:37🔗 Adam Yeah. But it'll be novelty.

17:39🔗 Caller I played both soccer and softball before.

17:41🔗 Drew And I catcher. Listen, football is a whole different deal. Listen, Sheila, it is a different deal.

17:46🔗 Adam I won't talk around.

17:47🔗 Drew No, I don't want to talk around. I'll just prepare yourself. It is a different deal.

17:49🔗 Caller I understand that. The coaches are nice. My team players are very nice.

17:52🔗 Drew No, I think it's cool. Listen, I don't discourage you. I just want you to prepare. This is going to be a different experience. And I want you to get a hurt.

17:58🔗 Adam Yeah. That makes me think back to my high school playing day.

18:01🔗 Drew Me too.

18:02🔗 Adam All Central Valley, first team. Thank you very much for lying back. So what's up? You want some pointers?

18:08🔗 Caller Yeah.

18:09🔗 Adam Alright, let me tell you something. Listen, listen. Your head needs to be on a swivel. You hear me?

18:14🔗 Caller Yeah, that's what my coach says.

18:16🔗 Adam That's right, on a swivel. And moving side to side, lateral speed. And here's, are you playing inside or outside backer?

18:24🔗 Caller I'm shooting for outside.

18:25🔗 Drew Contain, contain, contain.

18:27🔗 Adam Yeah. Here's my tip. This is going to help you a lot, whether you're inside or outside backer. You got to read wherever they're trying to block you.

18:37🔗 Drew That's what my teacher said.

18:38🔗 Adam If you're playing inside linebacker and that guard is supposed to block you, and the ball snapped and he's not coming out after you, it's a pass.

18:46🔗 Drew You go, yeah.

18:47🔗 Adam And if he pulls to the right, you better pull to your left or go to the right too, because that's a sweep and that's where the play is going.

18:54🔗 Drew Throw him down.

18:56🔗 Adam No matter what goes on out there, you can read it by, and one last thing.

19:01🔗 Yes.

19:02🔗 Adam Especially if you're playing middle backer.

19:05🔗 I hope not.

19:06🔗 Adam You got to step up. You can't wait for them to get to you.

19:10🔗 Drew What is that about the great linebackers? They don't just step up, they like a strike. They like, all of a sudden, like a blazer beam.

19:17🔗 Adam It took me a long time to figure that out, which is if they're coming right at you and you're staying your ground five yards, six yards behind the line, they got six yards. You're waiting for the guard to get to you, you'll get the guard, you'll get the full back, you'll get the half back all about the same time, it'll all be six yards. If that guard fires out at you, you better fire up at him and clog that hole. If you're playing outside backer, don't bite on that first fake before the quarterback kicks out and goes around you.

19:43🔗 Caller What do you mean by bite?

19:45🔗 Drew The first contact.

19:47🔗 Caller Okay.

19:48🔗 Adam Quarterback will do that fake to dive right through the two hole. You'll turn in on it and then he'll go around you. He'll pitch it out. You got contained.

19:57🔗 Drew Somebody will crack back on you.

19:59🔗 Adam All right. Now you have wheels on you. What's your 40 ton?

20:03🔗 Caller What's my 40 ton? What? Oh, I can run a mile.

20:07🔗 Whoop, noop, noop.

20:09🔗 Caller Well, I haven't gotten that timed yet.

20:11🔗 Adam All right. That'll be good. You make the papers. Are you a lesson? No?

20:18🔗 Caller That's my question.

20:19🔗 Drew What's the question?

20:21🔗 Caller My question is, should I?

20:25🔗 Drew Do you date any of the guys?

20:27🔗 Caller I mean, like guys talk.

20:29🔗 Drew You're a lesbian.

20:31🔗 Caller Drew plays.

20:31🔗 Drew Are you playing ball to meet the guys? What? Do you want to meet the guys on the team? Is that part of the reason you play ball?

20:37🔗 Caller No.

20:39🔗 Drew That's fine.

20:40🔗 Caller I'm not like one of those guys that go into home act just to be with chicks.

20:44🔗 Drew Right. OK. Because that's why a guy would play a girl's sport.

20:49🔗 Adam Sure.

20:50🔗 Caller My question is, would it be kind of weird if I date other guys while being on the football team?

20:58🔗 Drew No. That's like saying would it be weird for them to date other girls?

21:01🔗 Adam Well, we mean girls... Wait a minute. She means girls... She means guys on the football team, right?

21:07🔗 Caller Yeah. But I'm a girl on the football team dating another guy.

21:12🔗 Adam Right. Well, listen, Sheila, I want you to try as hard as you can. I want you to give it your best effort. But listen, you'll be riding the pine. Don't worry about that. The football thing is not going to be a big thing in your life. What? That's my prediction. I hope it works out. Give it every effort. It'll build some character and date whoever you want, football team or not. She just wanted to talk about trying out for the football team. She didn't have a real question.

21:40🔗 Drew God bless her though.

21:41🔗 Adam Good. That's great. I'm fine with that. The only part I'm not fine about, as far as society goes, is if she sucks, they should be able to cut her. Just like a guy who sucks.

21:51🔗 Drew I have the same thing with that. If a guy had called in and I said, Hey, man, you're going to have a tough time. You've gone from never playing football to now playing JV football. That's going to be tough. Because I said that to a girl, 5,000 people are offended. I was like, Hey, just anybody going from not playing football to playing, that's going to be tough.

22:06🔗 Adam Well, the thing that they don't at 15 don't warn you about is you got to do some hitting. You got to get used to using your head early on.

22:14🔗 Drew All right.

22:14🔗 Adam And how old are your boys?

22:16🔗 Drew Eight.

22:16🔗 Adam Now it's time to start learning to use their head. They start using their head like a battering ram. Start hitting guys. Spearing, crack backs.

22:24🔗 Drew They already do, strangely enough.

22:26🔗 Adam Good. Toughen up that skull of theirs. Work for me. Look at me. All right. We'll take a little break. When we come back, speak to Michelle. She's pushing her girlfriend away. She goes out and works. She cries.

22:42🔗 Drew You want to do something different?

22:43🔗 Adam We'll do it real fast after this.

22:47🔗 Caller Hello? Is this Loveline?

22:48🔗 Call 1-800-LOVE-191. Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back.

23:28🔗 Hello, everybody. Loveline. Got to love the Loveline.

23:35🔗 Adam Phone number.

23:35🔗 Got to, got to, got to, got to love the Loveline.

23:41🔗 Adam I'm Adam, that's Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1.

23:45🔗 Drew All right, we lost that call. We were probably... Oh, we did?

23:47🔗 Adam Oh, big whoop. John?

23:50🔗 Hey there.

23:51🔗 Adam You're 16. What's going on?

23:53🔗 Caller First of all, you guys are awesome.

23:54🔗 Adam Thank you.

23:56🔗 Well, a friend of mine just got some mushrooms.

23:59🔗 Adam Yeah.

24:00🔗 And, well, I've never done any drugs before.

24:04🔗 Drew Why start with mushrooms?

24:05🔗 Adam I don't know, that's not a bad place to start. That's a drug, that's a classic. It's a vintage drug. That's your dad's drug.

24:14🔗 Drew 16.

24:15🔗 Well, anyway, I was just wondering any side of it.

24:19🔗 Drew We don't know. Not that I've seen, but we're expecting to see.

24:24🔗 Adam It doesn't seem to be a whole lot with the mushrooms, Sean. Here's a couple of things.

24:28🔗 Drew Not after just a couple of exposures.

24:30🔗 Adam But let me float this. You could get high on mushrooms and fall off a cliff while you're camping.

24:37🔗 Drew Yes, you could. Or you could have a reaction. You could have a psychotic reaction.

24:41🔗 Adam Yeah.

24:41🔗 Drew PTSD from it.

24:42🔗 Adam You could spaz.

24:44🔗 Drew Yeah, pretty bad.

24:47🔗 Adam No.

24:47🔗 Drew I've never seen that. But whether you could damage the brain the way you can with other hallucinogens is sort of-

24:52🔗 Adam I don't know.

24:52🔗 Drew Probable, but the jury is out still.

24:55🔗 Adam The jury is never coming in on this one because-

24:57🔗 Drew Nobody uses enough of it.

24:58🔗 Adam Yeah. Everybody I know. Well, I shouldn't say everybody I know. Quite a few people I know have done their fair share in their youth, and none of them seems to be the worst for wear.

25:08🔗 Drew Oh my God. You're talking about your friends?

25:10🔗 Yeah.

25:13🔗 Caller Yeah.

25:14🔗 Adam How dare you? How dare you, Drew? No, listen. Drew loves to pin everything to addiction, and substance abuse, and all that. But the friends of mine that are furthest behind and the most effed up didn't do any mushrooms at all, by the way. Not that there's any correlation between achieving success in life and doing mushrooms, but the more successful ones actually did do the mushrooms financially. I'll give you all the names off the air, Drew. You'll be delighted.

25:44🔗 Drew Think where they'd be if they hadn't done them.

25:45🔗 Adam You think my buddies like Ray and Zeb must have done mushrooms in order to not be where they're not today. Those were the two that wouldn't do any. Everyone else did them. Hey, John. Yeah. I know it's not this show. I'll tell you, I have mixed feelings about telling a 16-year-old to go ahead and do drugs, but we're trying to keep it real on this show. Mushrooms are more benign than a lot of drugs.

26:13🔗 Drew Less benign.

26:14🔗 Adam Drugs in general are not a great thing to get into.

26:18🔗 Drew They're not good for you, yeah.

26:18🔗 Adam But this probably ain't going to kill you, but at 16 I hadn't done mushrooms and wasn't thinking about it.

26:25🔗 Caller Is there any addiction related to it?

26:26🔗 Adam No.

26:26🔗 Drew Doesn't seem to be.

26:27🔗 Adam Not really. How old's your friend you're going camping with?

26:30🔗 16.

26:31🔗 Drew Uh-huh.

26:31🔗 Adam Is he an experienced mushroom-er?

26:35🔗 I think he's done it a couple of times.

26:37🔗 Adam The other thing too is you could spin out a little. It's nice to have a steady hand nearby. Just start with a little bit. Just for the record, don't take any.

26:46🔗 Caller What the hell?

26:48🔗 Drew Yeah.

26:49🔗 Adam It's not a bad one, though. I'll tell you, mushrooms, that's good times.

26:53🔗 Drew I did a daytime radio show today, and I was talking. Some guy calls up and goes, How dare you tell a young 24-year-old who found something in her breast that it's not breast cancer? He started yelling at me. What are you talking about? It's so bizarre what people take issue with.

27:07🔗 Adam Well, I'll tell you the problem with the media and our job and everyone's job. Everyone's job is to cover their ass. So everyone who calls this show, we say, That's bad. Don't do it.

27:20🔗 Drew Well, we also see a doctor and everybody.

27:23🔗 Adam No, but what a lot of radio shows will do is they'll go, Look, drugs are bad. Don't do drugs. Well, on this radio show, we're a little more realistic. We understand there's a distinction between mushrooms, heroin, crank, weed, booze. There's a difference in all of those. And we're going to approach it that way. It's no different than any other thing in life. And if we start, you know, the day we start saying to people, look, don't do this or don't do anything, then we lose our credibility because you know what you're going to get.

27:57🔗 Drew That's also what we were talking about last night, which is we're not going to tell anybody what to do or not do. It drives me crazy that they can't see what they're doing and where it comes from. And we're trying to help them see that. But it's certainly not going to tell anybody what they must or must not do.

28:09🔗 Adam Well, and I want to play the odds, too.

28:12🔗 Caller Oh.

28:13🔗 Adam I mean, if one guy in the last million has died because he took mushrooms, then I'm going to tell you, hey, the odds aren't very great that anything bad is going to happen to you. Let's face it, Francis?

28:25🔗 Caller Hi.

28:26🔗 Adam Hey, what's happening?

28:27🔗 Caller Hello?

28:28🔗 Adam Hey.

28:29🔗 Caller Hi.

28:29🔗 Drew Go ahead.

28:30🔗 Caller I can't believe I finally got through. Okay. Here's my problem. My boyfriend, my first real boyfriend, was basically busted for stealing one of my parents' company vehicles.

28:43🔗 Drew Nice.

28:44🔗 Caller Yeah. I know what I should do. I know I should step back and have nothing to do with them and everything, but I just stick around for that.

28:57🔗 Drew Hang on now. Wait, wait, wait. It's not like this guy was, you know, George Washington and then all of a sudden he stole something and therefore condemned.

29:04🔗 Caller No.

29:05🔗 Drew He's a bad guy. He's always been a troubled guy.

29:09🔗 Caller Yeah. Yeah.

29:10🔗 Drew What else is up with him?

29:12🔗 Caller He, well, he was raised by his grandmother. He has a really horrible dad who's just coming to the picture now because nobody else wants his dad around. So he's thriving on that.

29:22🔗 Drew Well, describe the guy to us. Is he...

29:25🔗 Caller He's really intellectually smart, but he has a pretty high IQ, but he just, he's kind of lost, like never.

29:35🔗 Adam How old is he?

29:36🔗 Caller He's 19.

29:36🔗 Drew Is he aggressive? Is he getting fights?

29:39🔗 Caller No, he gets verbally abusive when he's drunk.

29:43🔗 Drew Does he do a lot of... Okay, so he drinks a lot, does drugs.

29:46🔗 Caller He tried stopping a couple of times the drinking thing, but he doesn't do any drugs, just the alcohol really.

29:51🔗 Drew All right, so he's an alcoholic.

29:53🔗 Caller Yeah, definitely.

29:54🔗 Drew Okay.

29:55🔗 Adam You're cruising for potential disaster here, Francis.

29:58🔗 Caller Oh, and I know that. And the thing is, I know I should like... You always talk about, I guess, some book about, but I love him, and that's exactly what my problem is.

30:07🔗 Drew Yeah, well, what's your question?

30:09🔗 Caller My question is, everybody tells me to leave him alone and cut off all conversation with him, and I can't.

30:16🔗 Drew So what's your question?

30:17🔗 Caller What am I supposed to do? Like, I need some outside advice here, somebody that... Because I respect your guys' opinions, that I can't get mad at.

30:24🔗 Drew Well, let's not be facetious and just tell her to cut off all contact with him. But your mom or dad is an alcoholic?

30:31🔗 Caller No, my dad's a workaholic. My mom raised us, my dad, just to make sure there was money on the table. And like, my relationships to look at aren't too steady of them.

30:42🔗 Drew So there's got to be some addiction in there somewhere. Nobody's taking medicine, pharmaceutical?

30:47🔗 Adam Well, wait a minute.

30:49🔗 Caller Actually, there's no addiction except for the fact that my dad is always, always working.

30:53🔗 Adam Well, I don't want to dwell on this too long. Francis, here's the deal. You try and be very conscious of the fact that you should not be talking to this guy. It's not going to be done all at once.

31:05🔗 Drew No, no, no. That's not going to work.

31:07🔗 Adam Yeah, she can do it.

31:08🔗 Drew No. Then she'll find another one.

31:11🔗 Adam Well, hold on. But Drew, we talk about this all the time. I know we like to break everyone off into their own little separate categories and everything. But there is the phenomenon, and it's a very accepted one, of young girls 18 years ago. They like the dangerous guy.

31:26🔗 Drew Absolutely. That's true.

31:27🔗 Adam Dad's some nebbish guys working his ass off. They get hooked up with the rebel guy.

31:31🔗 Drew Yeah, that's true.

31:32🔗 Adam Now, she wants to get away from this guy, and she's having difficulty, but she seems to be cognizant of it. I don't see her marrying alcoholics and being beaten and all that kind of stuff.

31:46🔗 Drew Now, all we have, of course, is our intuition when talking to these people. We've got a couple of minutes to speak with them. But my sense was that she was more connected to him than she should have been. It wasn't just about getting involved with the danger of being connected to an alpha male. She's really emotionally invested in this, more so than she should be, and she knows that, and she's lost in that. To disconnect from that, that's what codependency is, and I think she needs to go to Al-Anon. I don't think it's going to happen without that. You got to sponsor, you got to work some steps, and I believe that you'll find that your dad may have a little alcohol problem, you just don't see it because they're away all the time.

32:16🔗 Adam All right, we will, you know what I did today, Drew?

32:20🔗 Drew Can't wait, what?

32:22🔗 Adam I told my-

32:23🔗 Drew I napped and masturbated.

32:24🔗 Adam How dare you?

32:26🔗 Drew Except for that.

32:26🔗 Adam I've been working my ass off today. I told my accountant, and this is my new thing, and I'd like to bring this one back, I suggest everyone listening does this too. You don't have to tell your accountant, but you just start working in India every day, every day, verbiage. I got something and it said, you know, compensated for the amount of, and then there was, you know, four grand or something. I said, I want to start saying, to the tune of. I think it sounds cooler, and it's one of these things that's going to die.

32:57🔗 Drew On the score, to settle the score for?

32:59🔗 Adam Yeah. Yeah. How, how, how'd you do playing poker? Oh, I, I won. I won big. To the tune of 900, to the tune of, instead of saying to the amount of. Yeah. It's cooler. You guys who are listening, you got to keep that alive. You're a young generation. This is worn off. You probably, a lot of you people haven't even heard of this. You don't hear it brought up anymore, Drew. Everybody, to the tune of. And then you put the price in. Oh yeah. And it's always good because it really, oh, they find him. Oh, he won't be doing that again. Oh, fine. Yeah, that NBA. He was fine to the tune of $35,000. To the tune of $35,000. Oh, big whoop. It's great. I'd like you guys to keep that going, please. There's certain things that are going to die off. Drew, to the tune of?

33:48🔗 Drew To the tune of.

33:50🔗 Adam Mike?

33:51🔗 Yes.

33:52🔗 Adam You're 17?

33:53🔗 Caller Yes.

33:54🔗 Adam What's up?

33:54🔗 Caller Not much.

33:55🔗 Adam All right.

33:56🔗 Drew Did you call us about something?

33:57🔗 Adam You masturbate frequently?

33:59🔗 Caller Every once in a while, yeah.

34:01🔗 Adam How often?

34:02🔗 Caller I don't know. A couple of times a week, maybe.

34:05🔗 Adam To the tune of three times a week.

34:08🔗 Caller All right.

34:08🔗 Drew All right. What's your question?

34:10🔗 Caller Well, for about the past year, every time I whack it, I've had joint problems, my knees and stuff, and my fingers and all my joints to get inflamed. I've had a couple of knee injuries from sports, but it's been from my knees, stuff being inflamed from the thing. And that's happened, like, every time I whack it, I know it's impossible that it's from this, because every time I dig in a flame, that's where I whack it or something.

34:37🔗 Caller Dude, you beat off? What?

34:40🔗 Drew Mike, you need to see it. Forget the whacking history. Just get up and take a look at the inflammation of the legs. OK?

34:47🔗 Adam It's not related.

34:49🔗 Caller But I never never told him that.

34:52🔗 Drew I don't think it's important.

34:53🔗 Adam Hey, Mike, you got some problems emotionally?

34:56🔗 Caller No.

34:57🔗 Adam You have, you're not taking, let's say, Ritalin to The Tune of 750 milligrams a day or something like that?

35:03🔗 Caller No, it's a Gatorole. It's different.

35:04🔗 Drew Oh, that's the same thing.

35:06🔗 Caller No, it's different. It's like...

35:07🔗 Drew Yeah, I understand. But you have ADD. You're supposed to go, how did you know that? As opposed to, no, you're wrong.

35:13🔗 Adam Right.

35:14🔗 Drew Yeah.

35:14🔗 Adam I magically guessed the sister of the medication that he was on.

35:19🔗 Drew Yeah. It could be related to the medication, although that would be kind of peculiar.

35:23🔗 Adam It's not the masturbation. That's weird obsessive thinking.

35:26🔗 Drew And there are actually urethral irritations that can trigger joint complaints.

35:29🔗 Adam But your knees are not becoming inflamed because you're being off, unless you're doing it in a praying position on a hardwood floor.

35:36🔗 Drew Or if he's really irritating his urethra, sometimes it's a cross reaction there. Urethritis.

35:40🔗 Adam As all his joints are becoming inflamed?

35:42🔗 Drew Urethritis and synovitis.

35:44🔗 Adam Twice a week? To the tune of two whacks a week?

35:46🔗 Drew The tune of twice a week isn't quite right, but again, it needs to be sort of put together. Somebody needs to evaluate this carefully.

35:52🔗 Adam Yeah, but I think when you clear things up in the control tower magically the airport will start running better.

35:59🔗 Drew The medication could be a problem too.

36:00🔗 Adam Okay, we'll take a break.

36:35🔗 Hey, everybody.

36:36🔗 Adam It's a loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That is Dr. Drew. Phone number to the tune of 1-800-LOVE-191. Right, Drew?

36:47🔗 Drew That's the number.

36:50🔗 Adam Lizette?

36:51🔗 Caller Hi.

36:52🔗 Adam Hey, you're 16.

36:53🔗 Caller Yeah.

36:54🔗 Adam What's up?

36:55🔗 Caller Well, for the past six months, I have had four boyfriends, and I have one right now. I've been sleeping with them, and I have had sex with them for like, I don't know, a lot of times. And every time I have, like, sex with them, I give them blue balls every time we end up finishing.

37:10🔗 Drew What do you mean?

37:11🔗 Caller I give them blue balls.

37:12🔗 Drew What is that? What do you mean by that?

37:13🔗 Caller I don't let them come in time or something like that.

37:17🔗 Adam Oh, baby. I smell some teenage pregnancy right around the corner for you, baby.

37:24🔗 Caller What?

37:24🔗 Adam What are you using for protection?

37:26🔗 Caller Trojans.

37:28🔗 Drew Do you know about the morning after pill? Do you know about emergency contraception?

37:32🔗 Caller No.

37:33🔗 Drew If something goes wrong with the condom or you doesn't put it on or it slips off, there's a pill you can take within three days and it prevents the pregnancy.

37:41🔗 Caller It does?

37:41🔗 Drew Yeah. So you make sure you get some what's called emergency contraception available, okay? EC.

37:46🔗 Caller The thing is that my parents don't know.

37:48🔗 Drew Yeah.

37:48🔗 Caller Well.

37:49🔗 Adam But they'll know if you get pregnant.

37:50🔗 Caller Yeah.

37:51🔗 Drew You still get that emergency contraception. You can get it Planned Parenthood. You can get it from any doctor.

37:54🔗 Caller Where can I get it?

37:55🔗 Drew Planned Parenthood.

37:56🔗 Adam Or any doctor.

37:57🔗 Caller Or any doctor.

37:59🔗 Adam Hey, Lizette. I'll talk to you about your problem. But you just promise me you don't have sex without birth control or protection.

38:06🔗 Caller Okay.

38:06🔗 Drew No matter what.

38:07🔗 Adam And you get that emergency contraception stuff so you don't get pregnant.

38:10🔗 Caller I will.

38:11🔗 Adam All right. Now, your boyfriend does not have an orgasm?

38:15🔗 Caller No.

38:16🔗 Adam How old is he?

38:18🔗 Caller The same age as I am, 16.

38:19🔗 Adam You're fat. Drew, please. He never does? All the other guys didn't?

38:26🔗 Caller Well, they have dumped me for the same reason.

38:28🔗 Adam They dump you because they can't have an orgasm when they're having sex with you?

38:33🔗 Caller Yeah.

38:34🔗 Drew What do you think that is?

38:35🔗 Adam What are you talking about? Listen, I would have dumped a cadaver. That they fish out of a dumpster at UCLA when I was 16, if I could have had sex with it.

38:47🔗 Drew I beg your pardon. Are you telling us too much?

38:50🔗 Adam Oh, man, that was a little specific, wasn't it?

38:53🔗 Caller Yeah. I got rid of her.

38:55🔗 Adam Lizette? Was it her? How dare you? Well, the girls get loose when they die. Lizette, you're having intercourse with these guys?

39:05🔗 Drew No.

39:06🔗 Adam What are you doing then?

39:08🔗 Caller Well, they're doing it to me, but I'm not doing it to them.

39:10🔗 Drew You said you were having sex with them.

39:12🔗 Adam Hold on. What are they doing to you?

39:14🔗 Caller You know.

39:15🔗 Drew No, we don't know. We weren't there.

39:17🔗 Caller What?

39:18🔗 Drew Well, you opened up by saying you were having sex with them, so that means intercourse.

39:22🔗 Caller Yeah, I know, but other stuff.

39:24🔗 Drew Not intercourse.

39:25🔗 Caller No.

39:26🔗 Drew So why is he using a Trojan if he's not having intercourse?

39:30🔗 Caller No, wait, he is, but it's because I didn't hear you. I was listening to something else.

39:35🔗 Adam All right. Lizette? All right, hang on one second, all right?

39:38🔗 Caller Okay.

39:40🔗 Drew I can't. That was so convoluted, we couldn't even do a reenactment of that.

39:45🔗 Adam She used, what do you use for protection?

39:47🔗 Drew Nope, we're having sex. We use for protection, right?

39:51🔗 Adam Listen, I'm tired and angry. I've had an ass full of all you kids who got one eye on the TV and one ear on this radio show. If you're, don't, this is a national radio show, don't waste our time with this, huh, what, huh, what? No, I wasn't listening, what? Oh, I'm sorry, I was paying attention to something else. They keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Lizette, stew in your own stupid juices for just some time until I feel like talking to you. Then we'll see, because right now, I'm being distracted by some other calls, okay? And whenever I feel like it, I will get back to Lizette. And Lizette, if you want to hang up, hang up now.

40:30🔗 Drew No, I'd rather you-

40:30🔗 Adam And if you don't want to hang up, hang on, but I may get back to you in two minutes, and I may get back to you in an hour and five minutes.

40:36🔗 Drew But compose your story.

40:38🔗 Adam Now, or don't, I don't care. Jennifer?

40:42🔗 Yeah?

40:42🔗 Adam You're 21, what's up?

40:44🔗 Caller What do I want? Um, I can't get wet.

40:47🔗 Caller Huh.

40:49🔗 Caller And, um, I'm 21. I've been having sex since I was very young, 14. And I love sex. I'm a nympho. I have to have it, like, every day. I've got to say sometimes I can't do it because I want it so much.

41:07🔗 Drew Wow, that sounds well.

41:08🔗 Caller And I've been to the doctor and, you know, he just says maybe I'm not giving enough time during foreplay or, um, I just, I don't know what to do. I use a lubricant called Wet. Right now it's water-based and it's spermicide. It works great, but it just, it kind of kills the moment, you know? Hang on, hon, let me go pump some lube.

41:33🔗 Drew Well, let's talk about more what's going on with you sexually. You were every day having sex?

41:38🔗 Caller Well, yeah, pretty much.

41:40🔗 Drew Okay, okay. And since you were 14?

41:43🔗 Caller Well, yeah.

41:44🔗 Drew Okay. And?

41:45🔗 Caller I mean, even if I wasn't with a man, I mean, I would be pleasing myself because, I mean, ever since I was very young, I bring myself to orgasm very easily.

41:55🔗 Drew And so, even when you're having orgasm, there's no wetness?

41:59🔗 Caller I'm sorry?

41:59🔗 Drew Even when you're having orgasm, say, by yourself, no lubrication?

42:04🔗 Caller No, no. Only with a man afterwards, I'll get wet for a little while, but then it'll tighten up and dry up again. And I've been with women before also. Sure. I can't get wet with them either.

42:18🔗 Adam Me neither. Jennifer, do you have one boyfriend right now?

42:22🔗 Caller I'm engaged, yes.

42:24🔗 Adam Oh, you are?

42:25🔗 Caller Yes, sir.

42:25🔗 Drew And you guys are monogamous?

42:27🔗 Caller Oh, very.

42:28🔗 Adam Okay.

42:29🔗 Drew And nothing with him either?

42:31🔗 Caller Well, in the beginning of the relationship, but not, no, not anything anymore.

42:38🔗 Drew Do you have any issues with sex? I'm just saying, anything happen to you, anything we should know about?

42:42🔗 Caller I'm sorry, what?

42:43🔗 Drew Anything happen to you, anything we should know about in terms of issues with your sexuality?

42:46🔗 Caller No, no, no, no, no. When I was young, like 14, 15, and 16, I had a lot of bacteria infections that my doctors said were caused from dancing a lot because I'm a ballerina.

43:01🔗 Adam Uh-oh.

43:02🔗 Caller They said that wearing tights and things of that nature.

43:05🔗 Adam Yeah, I was told by my gynecologist not to wear my unitard anymore. Well, you still do feel bad. Hey, I look so goddamn hot in that thing. I said, I fire the guy. Screw you. I look good in a unitard. Mr. Jennifer and Lake Warmers, by the way. Ever have an eating disorder?

43:22🔗 Caller No. Uh-uh.

43:24🔗 Adam No?

43:24🔗 Caller No.

43:25🔗 Adam All right. And is your mom bust your chops?

43:29🔗 Caller About what?

43:30🔗 Adam Life, anything?

43:32🔗 Caller No.

43:32🔗 Drew Are you on birth control pill?

43:34🔗 Caller I was, but I recently went off them. And well, that was actually another reason that I switched from ortho-cycline, ortho-tricycline was for, to help my bacteria infections. And as soon as I switched the pill, it cleared up.

43:51🔗 Drew But have you been off birth control in many years?

43:54🔗 Caller Yeah, not for many years, for about six months now. And it still hasn't changed or affected me being able to get wet.

44:00🔗 Adam Let me pick her brain for a second. Ballerina, sexually compulsive. I got to get to the bottom of this.

44:07🔗 Caller All right.

44:08🔗 Adam Really? I'm not judging, but I'm trying to work my files here so I can help humanity.

44:14🔗 Drew Trying to follow some paths.

44:15🔗 Adam No alcoholism, any alcoholism in the family?

44:18🔗 Caller Yeah. My father is a recovering alcoholic. But I don't see how that affects me getting wet.

44:25🔗 Adam No, no, no. Listen, for women, your brain is hooked up to the spigot. Yeah. If there's stuff going on, look.

44:33🔗 Drew And yet she arouses pretty normally and she seems gratified by sex. You know what I mean?

44:37🔗 Adam Yeah, but we've talked to many women about this. Anderson, you don't have a vagina anymore, do you? No.

44:45🔗 Drew Sown up.

44:46🔗 Adam But we've talked to many people about this, which is if they're aroused and if there's something going on emotionally, this can affect it.

44:57🔗 Drew Yeah. But usually arousal is interrupted and sure arousal is not interrupted. It's just this one element in arousal.

45:04🔗 Adam But let me ask you this, Drew.

45:05🔗 Caller Yeah.

45:06🔗 Adam What if your brain is a little freaked out and turned off, but your sort of mind and body is saying, push forward and almost overcompensating. I'm a very sexual person.

45:20🔗 Drew Yeah. I see what you mean.

45:20🔗 Adam I'm very sexual. It's like the guy who thinks he's a wuss so he becomes very aggressive.

45:27🔗 Drew Yeah.

45:28🔗 Adam She reiterated over and over what a sexual person she was.

45:32🔗 Drew Yes, she indeed is. She has orgasms really easily.

45:35🔗 Adam Right. But maybe somewhere in the dark recesses of her mind, she's not as sexual as she thinks.

45:42🔗 Drew So you're saying she is someone who orgasms easily, but maybe is not as sexual as she thinks.

45:46🔗 Adam I don't think, I know she's not or she would lubricate more.

45:49🔗 Drew Well, maybe it's something biological, but there may be some biological issue here.

45:53🔗 Adam Well, I'd say it could be a number of factors, but I think that might be one of them, Jennifer?

46:00🔗 Caller Yeah.

46:01🔗 Drew What do you think of Adam's theory?

46:03🔗 Caller I'm sorry? Well, I don't know if I agree with that.

46:07🔗 Drew Okay, good.

46:08🔗 Caller I think it's probably something biologically wrong with me, because I'm a pretty happy person and I have a great life. Yeah.

46:15🔗 Drew Listen, the parents in recovery are good. You can live a very happy life.

46:18🔗 Adam When did your dad get into recovery?

46:21🔗 Caller I'm sorry?

46:21🔗 Adam When did your dad get into recovery?

46:26🔗 Caller Right around the time I started having sex, actually.

46:28🔗 Where's my bourbon?

46:30🔗 Adam You were like 14 or 15?

46:32🔗 Caller Yeah.

46:32🔗 Drew Was he an awful alcoholic when he was drinking?

46:34🔗 Caller Oh, no. I didn't live with him either.

46:37🔗 Adam Who did you live with?

46:39🔗 Caller My mother.

46:40🔗 Adam Is she kind of a perfectionist?

46:42🔗 Caller No, not at all, actually.

46:44🔗 Drew What?

46:45🔗 Caller Uh-uh.

46:46🔗 Adam Who got you into ballet?

46:48🔗 Caller She did.

46:49🔗 Adam Why?

46:50🔗 Caller I don't know.

46:51🔗 Adam All right.

46:51🔗 Drew People do that without being intrusive.

46:54🔗 Adam Does she? Your mom doesn't drink?

46:55🔗 Drew Believe it or not, Adam, there is a time.

46:56🔗 Caller Anyway, back to the point.

46:57🔗 Adam Now, listen, we don't know why you're not lubricating from a physiological standpoint.

47:03🔗 Drew Let's finish her up after the break.

47:05🔗 Adam No, we're done with her.

47:05🔗 Drew Well, I want to hear what other-

47:07🔗 Adam What are you going to say?

47:08🔗 Drew I want to hear what other theories people have proposed. I mean, there's something wrong with the glandular activity down there. Usually, I wonder about her level of estrogenization.

47:15🔗 Adam All right, we'll be back.

47:17🔗 Hello, this is your radio. Love Line will be right back.

48:03🔗 Adam Hey, everybody, Loveline, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Adam Corolla, that's Dr. Drew. So, Drew, just tell that last call that wasn't lubricating medically what she can do.

48:14🔗 Drew I just worry that she is not cycling normally or perhaps has lower levels of estrogen or higher levels of progesterone than she should, so certainly somebody should evaluate her very carefully. Sometimes thyroid hormone can affect this, sometimes, boy, it's damaging.

48:31🔗 Adam What about these old infections she was getting?

48:33🔗 Drew I don't think that has anything to do with it. It's not like she'd be deficient of glandular material down there. I've never heard of that, though God knows it's every variation on anything when it comes to human body, but mostly I suspect it's the hormonal influence that part of her body is under. Okay. You're suspecting that the brain is influencing that, and certainly it can, but arousal is good, she's okay, dad's in recovery.

48:53🔗 Adam Arousal, a little hyper arousal, I'd say.

48:57🔗 Drew No, compensating self-concept in terms of her sexuality, but the arousal, she has orgasm really easily. That's true. So then she has to arouse to do that.

49:07🔗 Adam Well, go to the gynecologist, tell her you want a full workup. Yes? All right. Michelle?

49:16🔗 Hello.

49:16🔗 Adam Oh, Michael?

49:17🔗 Drew Michelle.

49:18🔗 Adam Michelle, Michelle. What's your name?

49:21🔗 Caller My name is Michelle.

49:23🔗 Drew You're Le Francais.

49:29🔗 Caller All right, Adam. I have a question for you.

49:31🔗 Adam All right.

49:32🔗 Caller And then Dr. Drew is the one. Adam, I masturbate upside down in the bathroom with my toe and my dog's butt. Do you think anything is wrong with me?

49:43🔗 Adam Okay.

49:43🔗 Caller Now there's one for Dr. Drew.

49:45🔗 Adam All right. Well, wait a minute. Don't I get the answer?

49:50🔗 Caller Wow. Dr. Drew, nocturnal omission, is it true that those are just, it's just an overproduction of sperm that needs to be omitted?

50:05🔗 Drew Not an overproduction. It's just a normal production that God releases for you.

50:10🔗 Adam Yeah. You should be getting some of that out when you're inverted in the bathroom.

50:15🔗 Caller Oh, wow. You're all too much fun.

50:17🔗 Adam Good audience.

50:19🔗 Caller So, Dr. Drew, so for everybody in an explanation of nocturnal omissions, when you wake up with your pants full of pud, for guys.

50:29🔗 Adam Or for those of us who go to bed sober, our underpants.

50:32🔗 Caller Yeah.

50:33🔗 Adam I know. You got a pair of 501s filled with something. Still got your boots on when you wake up in the morning.

50:39🔗 Caller Oh my God.

50:40🔗 Drew Well, you've got a few cigarette burns in the sheets.

50:45🔗 Adam I'd like to get a little window into Michelle's life. First off, where did you get that name, Michelle?

50:53🔗 Drew Michelle.

50:55🔗 Caller Oh, it was a piece of micro-Michelle at birth.

50:59🔗 Drew This is a boy named Sue.

51:00🔗 Adam Right. The guy who wanted to toughen you up. I knew he wasn't going to be around and look after you.

51:06🔗 Caller I'm just bubbly and giggly now.

51:08🔗 Adam What do you do for a living? What do you do for a living?

51:12🔗 Caller Call you.

51:13🔗 Drew No, Michelle, what do you do for a living?

51:15🔗 Caller No, Dr. Drew's good now.

51:17🔗 Adam What do you do for a living?

51:19🔗 Caller What do I do?

51:20🔗 Drew Disability.

51:21🔗 Adam That's it. Hang up. I can only go four rounds on the what do you do. Then when I hear the, what do I do? And by the way, the what do I do came on the fourth, third or fourth attempt. Let me tell you about the switch I have in my brain, everybody. It goes from I'm incredibly interested to I give a rat's ass and just a heartbeat. I'll try Michelle one more time. Now oh yeah, rid of them. Good times.

51:48🔗 Caller Paul? Paul?

51:52🔗 Drew Paul 16th. He's sleeping.

51:54🔗 Caller He's been on a roll for an hour.

51:56🔗 Caller Paul?

52:00🔗 Caller Boring.

52:02🔗 Drew Did you hear something there?

52:03🔗 Adam Well, Drew, whenever, see here's what happens, let me tell you the phenomenon. We're trying to hear if someone's sleeping or not. Anderson pots the guy way up. You react and go, oh, I heard something. What you heard was Anderson potting the guy out.

52:16🔗 Drew Maybe.

52:18🔗 Adam That sort of ambient sound went from, it sounds like this. It goes from like sort of nothing to like, yeah, and you go, oh, maybe there's anything there. No, let's talk to Melanie.

52:35🔗 Caller Hi.

52:36🔗 Adam Hey, you're 22.

52:36🔗 Caller What's up?

52:38🔗 Caller My mom is paranoid schizophrenic caused by prolonged meth use. My question is, I have no idea how to help her. I live in California and she lives in Florida.

52:50🔗 Drew What do you mean by prolonged meth use? She continues to use methamphetamine?

52:55🔗 Caller She used it from the time she was 20 on up to, I think she stopped when she was about 50.

53:01🔗 Drew So 30 years. And now she's chronically psychotic. Yeah. Which is what speed does. It's really not a paranoid schizophrenia. That's a specific disease. She's got a thought disorder caused by the biological injury of the speed.

53:15🔗 Caller Okay, that's just what her neurologist mentioned to that.

53:18🔗 Adam Well, this is probably putting it in terms so we could all understand.

53:21🔗 Drew And the scary thing about the paranoia that is associated with speed, with the meth, is that the focus is always on important relationships. So they're paranoid that you or her neighbors or co-workers are thinking about them and plotting against them, as opposed to cocaine, where the focus is always on uniformed officers. Cocaine addicts are always looking out the window, seeing police, SWAT teams.

53:44🔗 Okay, she did that.

53:45🔗 Drew She got, well, she's probably maybe doing some cocaine too.

53:48🔗 Probably, yeah.

53:49🔗 Drew But the speed part is the focus on important people.

53:52🔗 Caller Okay.

53:53🔗 Adam Well, how did you make it out of there?

53:56🔗 Caller Um, you know, I don't have an answer for that, but I'm doing well.

54:00🔗 Adam Yeah, it sounds like it.

54:01🔗 Caller Yeah, I'm in college, my junior year of college. I'm in a great relationship and I've never done drugs or anything like that. I guess just because I watched her, you know, be that way and I would never want that for myself.

54:16🔗 Adam You know, you know what they call that? They call that being smart.

54:19🔗 Drew Learning from experience.

54:20🔗 Adam No, it's just being smart. Smart people study other people and go, yeah, that ain't for me. And then they see other people and they go, yeah, that's for me.

54:29🔗 Caller And they do it. Yeah, my sister followed in her footsteps and changed, but.

54:34🔗 Adam She's not so smart.

54:35🔗 Caller Yeah.

54:36🔗 Adam Oh yeah, Drew don't like to do that, but I just break the world into dumb and stupid and then smart and genius. Thank you. So you're doing all right. You want to know what to do with her?

54:47🔗 Caller Yeah, because her neighbor called me today. Yeah, and I'm so far away that I can't go check up on her.

54:54🔗 Drew What did the neighbor say?

54:56🔗 Caller I'm sorry?

54:56🔗 Drew What did the neighbor say?

54:58🔗 Caller She said that, you know, she was, my mother was hearing voices and that she was screaming out.

55:07🔗 Adam Is she off the speed?

55:09🔗 Caller She's definitely off the speed.

55:10🔗 Drew How do you know that?

55:12🔗 Caller She's so ill now that she can't even talk. I mean, she's had a heart attack three strokes in a year.

55:19🔗 Adam I really, I don't know how you do speed for more than a weekend. I don't know how you do it for 30 years. I really don't. It's the most, it's really a drug that just, it's so hard on you. And everyone around her or around you. So how long has she been sober?

55:39🔗 Drew She's not sober. She just can't manage using. She's so impaired.

55:43🔗 Caller Yeah, that's right. She didn't make a conscious effort.

55:46🔗 Adam Yeah.

55:47🔗 Drew She just can't do anything. But listen, is she not taking her medicine? Is that what's happening now?

55:50🔗 Caller Yeah, that's what the neighbor said.

55:53🔗 Adam Really, you got to, listen, I hate to say this, but you got to hire a drifter to kill her. No, she's too big a burden on the family.

55:59🔗 Drew She may need a conservatorship, Melanie. You may need to go for that.

56:02🔗 Caller Yeah, my stepdad is supposed to be doing that. No, no, no.

56:06🔗 Adam Yeah, nice. Give the drifter an extra 150. He'll take care of stepdad too. You'll get the house.

56:12🔗 Drew Go for conservatorship. She probably has to be placed somewhere where she's in a structured living environment, gets her medicines, and it's sort of contained. That's it. She's so injured now. I mean, her brain's damaged badly now. Strokes, speed, it's not good.

56:25🔗 Adam Well, if she'd taken my drifter advice ten years ago, she'd be over it emotionally by now. You know what I'm saying? I'm just putting the word out in case any of my family's listening decide to go on some kind of speedbender over the...

56:38🔗 Drew What if they decide to turn your good advice on you?

56:42🔗 Adam Hey, I pay... Well, first off, they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. I pay the bills. You know what I'm saying? I take care of business. Don't worry about me. Sarah?

56:53🔗 Caller Yes.

56:53🔗 Adam You're 21?

56:54🔗 Caller Yes.

56:55🔗 Caller What's up?

56:56🔗 Caller My question really pertains to my boyfriend.

57:00🔗 Caller I've been going out with him for a couple years, and he does occasional prescription drugs of Valium and Tramadol. More and more recently, he's been getting into ketamine. I'm kind of worried about him, not just because of the amount that he's using, but because he's a diabetic.

57:21🔗 Adam Well, we'll get a drifter to kill him. Hey, you want to go 30 years with this pain, or you want to just nip it in the bud?

57:29🔗 Caller Well, I'm just, I mean, I'm not really concerned about whether or not we're going to be together for 30 years. I'm just concerned about him now, and I don't.

57:38🔗 Drew Well, he's a drug addict, and he's diabetic, and addicts don't pay attention to the consequences of their drug use. In fact, that defines the disease. Continued use, progressive use, despite consequence.

57:49🔗 Caller Yeah, and it's just the thing, he's pre-med, you know, we're both in college.

57:52🔗 Drew Hey, listen, I treat tons of doctors or addicts.

57:54🔗 Caller Yeah, he kind of just thinks, you know, I research it enough, I know what I'm doing.

57:58🔗 Drew That's BS. Look, he's an addict. And you know, it's going to progress, it's going to get worse, and when he's ready to do something, he will.

58:04🔗 Adam Meanwhile, you can lay down some rules, like you're not going to be with him, but he's going to do this.

58:09🔗 Drew Right. Loss usually is the only thing that catches these people's attention.

58:12🔗 Caller Well, are there specific, like, side effects for diabetics? I mean, is it for our situation, then normal?

58:19🔗 Drew Well, it depends if he's brittle. Is he well controlled? Does he have any complications of his diabetes?

58:24🔗 Caller No complications. He's really well controlled, actually.

58:29🔗 Drew He's using ketamine and what else?

58:31🔗 Caller Ketamine, tramadol. He steals, like, ambient and valium from his mom.

58:37🔗 Drew He's going to make a hell of a doctor one day. Well, no, these are all not specifically that I can see extra dangerous. Tramadol? What the hell is that?

58:48🔗 Adam I've heard of that one.

58:50🔗 Drew Tramadol.

58:50🔗 Adam It's a painkiller? What is that tramadol?

58:54🔗 Drew Is it Ultram?

58:55🔗 Caller No, I'm pretty sure it's tramadol. It's a European painkiller. I don't think it's legal on the state.

59:01🔗 Drew Interesting. Well, I mean, this is, you know, presumably opiates that he's using, and this is profound addiction. Benzodiazepine is profoundly addictive. He's not, you know, he's going to have consequence. And I suggest you go to Al-Anon or some sort of codependency recovery program, and that will give the highest likelihood of helping him. Nothing else.

59:20🔗 Adam Don't throw out the drifter suggestion just yet. That's all I'm saying. Just keep that in your back pocket. Annabelle?

59:27🔗 Drew Hi.

59:28🔗 Adam Hey, you're 16. What's up?

59:29🔗 Caller Okay. I've been giving my boyfriend head, like, for the past month. That's like when I started doing it for him. And like every single time, almost, that I do it, like, afterwards I go to the bathroom, like I need the mouthwash and stuff, and I like throw up.

59:44🔗 Adam We gotta get Drifter to kill him.

59:47🔗 Drew Now wouldn't, let's be empathetic with this young lady. Wouldn't you throw up too, Adam?

59:51🔗 Adam Oh, me?

59:51🔗 Caller Yeah. What about it?

59:53🔗 Adam Would I?

59:53🔗 Caller Yeah.

59:55🔗 Adam I mean, hypothetically, sure. Yes, I would vomit if I got semen in my mouth.

1:00:00🔗 Drew Yeah, so, okay.

1:00:01🔗 Caller And like, I thought I'd be used to it by now because I'm doing it, like, a lot.

1:00:05🔗 Adam How many times do you think you've done it? God bless you, by the way.

1:00:08🔗 Drew Oh, my God.

1:00:09🔗 Adam You keep going back to the well, as it were.

1:00:11🔗 Drew Trooper.

1:00:12🔗 Caller I can't just be like, oh, no.

1:00:14🔗 Drew How many times?

1:00:15🔗 Caller In the past month.

1:00:16🔗 Drew Have you vomited?

1:00:17🔗 Caller Like, probably like 17.

1:00:20🔗 Drew Oh, my God. That's not good for you.

1:00:23🔗 Adam This has become a nice method of weight loss for you.

1:00:26🔗 Drew Does he understand you're vomiting? Well, you had bulimia?

1:00:30🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:00:31🔗 Drew Oh, boy. Is this part of that, do you think?

1:00:34🔗 Caller I don't know.

1:00:35🔗 Caller But, like, I didn't.

1:00:36🔗 Adam Wait a minute. Hold on. Let me talk to Drew. I was kidding, but I may have inadvertently stumbled on to something here, which is...

1:00:43🔗 Drew Well, bulimics will vomit more easily, and sort of, it can kind of blur, you know, what's bulimia, what's vomiting, a reaction to something physiologic. They'll start vomiting and all kinds of things, and they kind of go with it a little bit.

1:00:55🔗 Adam Well, look at it this way. We talk to drug addicts all the time, people that are hooked on painkillers. So, they're hooked, and so their back says, hey, I got some pain, feed me.

1:01:06🔗 Drew Feed me.

1:01:08🔗 Adam Feed me. And after a while, the line is so blurred, you don't know if you're actually having pain, and your brain is just creating pain, so it can be rewarded with some painkillers that it wants. Now, you got an eating disorder, and here you are, and we're both sitting here going, geez, you vomited 17 times last month.

1:01:25🔗 Drew You keep doing it?

1:01:26🔗 Adam You know, last month, you keep doing it. Initially, we want to send her out a windbreaker and trooper the year, but now it's, now it starts to unfurl a little bit, it starts to take a little different shape. So maybe there is something here, Annabelle.

1:01:45🔗 Caller I'm just disgusted by it every time.

1:01:47🔗 Drew We got that part, now we got that part.

1:01:49🔗 Adam Any excuse to vomit? Wow, what an incredible...

1:01:53🔗 Caller They counseled the hell out of me, so I stopped, and I don't like that anymore. And I was like, oh, that's so gross.

1:01:58🔗 Drew Who counseled you? What did you say, someone counseled you?

1:02:01🔗 Caller Well, like, you know, I had to go to, like, therapy, and like, everyone found out, and I was like, oh, great, you know.

1:02:06🔗 Drew From semen vomiting?

1:02:08🔗 Adam No, from making yourself vomit when she had her eating disorder.

1:02:12🔗 Drew So now you have a reason to vomit.

1:02:13🔗 Adam And meanwhile, what a great vicious cycle to be caught in as a boyfriend. Your penis becomes her enabler. That's crazy.

1:02:25🔗 Caller No, I won't.

1:02:26🔗 Adam Wow. How old is this guy?

1:02:28🔗 Caller Seventeen.

1:02:29🔗 Adam And are you guys having intercourse?

1:02:31🔗 Caller Never.

1:02:31🔗 Adam Just the oral sex?

1:02:33🔗 Caller Yeah, and that's like the only thing we ever do. You never do anything.

1:02:35🔗 Adam Well, right, you got to vomit. You're the only, you know, must be incredible for this guy because this guy's like, geez, she blew chow, like, on Tuesday, and now it's Wednesday, and she's dying to go down on me. Well, all right, so be it.

1:02:49🔗 Caller I'm never exactly done, too, but he's always like, come on, and I'm just like, okay, fine. I'm not going to be like, no, I don't feel like it.

1:02:56🔗 Drew Why don't you be like, hey, no, I've puked every time we do this. I can't do that anymore.

1:03:02🔗 Caller Because then he'll be like, oh, you're so stupid, and he'll get mad at me about it.

1:03:05🔗 Drew This is that, you're such a whore. This is that same reaction that you hear is something different.

1:03:10🔗 Caller I think you've been going out since, like, February, and, like, I only started doing this, like, a month ago.

1:03:14🔗 Drew Hey, but look, if he gives a good goddamn about you, he'll, like, have some sympathy for what you're going through.

1:03:19🔗 Adam When did you get your, when did you finish your bulimia counseling?

1:03:24🔗 Caller Um, well, I'm still having to go to, like, the school, well, not the school one anymore, but, like, I stopped in, like, January.

1:03:30🔗 Adam You're still in bulimia. It's just, instead of sticking your finger down your throat, you're sticking a penis down your throat.

1:03:35🔗 Drew That's right. That's right.

1:03:37🔗 Adam Hey, that's heavy. That's heavy, man.

1:03:40🔗 Caller But, like, wouldn't I still be doing it if I was that into it? Like, after the whole bulimia bout, it was like...

1:03:46🔗 Adam You're not done with the bulimia.

1:03:47🔗 Drew You're still bulimic.

1:03:48🔗 Adam You're using the guy's penis.

1:03:50🔗 Caller Even though I was, like, I stopped doing that, like, completely in, like, January?

1:03:54🔗 Drew No, you haven't stopped doing it. That's the point. You had 17 more relapses.

1:03:57🔗 Adam You stopped for a period, and now you're using this guy's an excuse.

1:04:02🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:04:03🔗 Caller But why would it only happen then?

1:04:05🔗 Adam First off, that's all you're doing, and you're doing a lot of it.

1:04:08🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:04:10🔗 Drew And the point is, if you just hated it, you probably wouldn't do it.

1:04:13🔗 Adam You'd just stop it. There'd be no second. Why do you think we were so confused as to why you kept doing it so much when you're vomiting each and every time? All right.

1:04:21🔗 Drew Hold on.

1:04:23🔗 Adam You don't want him to get mad.

1:04:25🔗 Drew Oh, please.

1:04:25🔗 Adam You're... Listen.

1:04:27🔗 Caller I can be serious about it.

1:04:28🔗 Drew Well, then...

1:04:29🔗 Adam Well, hold on. Let's talk about that for a second. But when you guys go to movies...

1:04:34🔗 Caller Sometimes.

1:04:34🔗 Adam Do you only go to the movies he wants to see?

1:04:38🔗 Caller Sorta.

1:04:38🔗 Caller Because he pays for it.

1:04:40🔗 Adam So every time... What was the last three movies you guys went to?

1:04:44🔗 Caller The Fast and the Furious.

1:04:45🔗 Adam Well, that's his. Yeah.

1:04:47🔗 Caller Tomb Raider.

1:04:47🔗 Drew Oh, it's his too.

1:04:48🔗 Caller It's his too. Pearl Harbor.

1:04:53🔗 Drew Oh, what's the matter with you? You can't speak up for yourself. That's the real problem here. What is with your self-esteem that is that poor?

1:05:01🔗 Adam And you have an older sister. Not that much older.

1:05:05🔗 Caller I have a twin sister and an older sister.

1:05:06🔗 Adam Sweet. Yeah, what is up, baby?

1:05:09🔗 Caller What do you mean?

1:05:11🔗 Adam You're scared? This 16-year-old guy is running, you're ragged, you got an eating disorder. What's going on?

1:05:17🔗 Caller Well, I don't have an eating disorder anymore.

1:05:19🔗 Adam Oh, yes.

1:05:19🔗 Drew Well, first of all, people, those don't remit. They're chronic conditions that sort of get better and come back, and yours is active right now.

1:05:26🔗 Adam Hey, Anna, you know you're going to therapy for the old eating disorder that you don't have anymore, except if you still vomit all the time? Yeah. I think you need to bring up all this power stuff and all this.

1:05:37🔗 Drew And that you can't assert yourself.

1:05:39🔗 Adam That's going to get mad at me if I don't blow him. Right.

1:05:41🔗 Drew You need some assertiveness.

1:05:43🔗 Adam Put that on a card, Anderson. That'll be good.

1:05:45🔗 Drew Yeah, some assertive skills.

1:05:48🔗 Adam No, good. Drew was talking.

1:05:49🔗 Drew No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't.

1:05:51🔗 Adam No, you were talking, so it's no good. Lisa?

1:05:55🔗 Drew Hello.

1:05:55🔗 Adam You're 18? What's up?

1:05:57🔗 Drew I was not. No, he's got it. He's got it.

1:06:00🔗 Adam He's got it means shut up. Lisa?

1:06:03🔗 Caller Yes.

1:06:04🔗 Adam I like you already.

1:06:06🔗 Caller What's going on?

1:06:07🔗 Caller Hi.

1:06:09🔗 Caller I've got a problem with like, I don't know, guys, but I just got out of a two-year relationship, and he was really, really controlling. And I don't know.

1:06:21🔗 Caller It's just like I met this other guy, and he treats me so well, I just like, I'm not used to it.

1:06:28🔗 Caller And so, I like, I don't know, I'm like...

1:06:31🔗 Drew So what you do is you take the really nice guy, and you start moving over in that direction to prove to the guy who's treating you badly that you will leave if he doesn't treat you better. Except the guy that's nice is too boring, and you won't actually go with him. You go back to the guy that treats you like crap, and he'll keep treating you like crap.

1:06:48🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:06:49🔗 Caller Well, it sounds out that I was seeing this other guy.

1:06:52🔗 Adam Oh, magical.

1:06:53🔗 Drew Magically. Magically, he found out.

1:06:55🔗 Caller And he was like, well, is he better than me and all this?

1:07:00🔗 Caller And it was like, I didn't know what to say.

1:07:03🔗 Caller And he was better, and I haven't stopped seeing him. It's just not the problem. The guy I was with for two years isn't the problem. It's the fact that he treated me really bad, and now I'm with someone that treats me really good, and I can't get over that.

1:07:17🔗 Drew Can't get over what?

1:07:18🔗 Caller The way he treats me. It's like...

1:07:20🔗 Adam The good guy?

1:07:21🔗 Caller Yeah, I'm like number one.

1:07:24🔗 Caller I'm always before him.

1:07:27🔗 Adam And... Listen. I drove crappy cars, I lived in crappy apartments, and ate crappy food. Now I drive nice cars. Now I still eat crappy food. I live in a nice house. It's easy. Easy to get over. One was bad, the other's good.

1:07:41🔗 Caller Yeah, but when you cycle for two years, it's really hard.

1:07:45🔗 Drew No, it's not. You need the abuse is the problem.

1:07:48🔗 Adam You got some serious issues.

1:07:49🔗 Drew You're going to sabotage the good relationship because you can't stand the intimacy.

1:07:56🔗 Adam Why is it so hard to deal with a guy who puts you first? Because my dad beat me when I was little.

1:08:02🔗 Drew He what?

1:08:02🔗 Caller My dad beat me when I was little.

1:08:04🔗 Adam There you go.

1:08:05🔗 Drew Thank you. Thank you for not making us dig for that.

1:08:07🔗 Adam Thank you. And thank you dad for beating you. How about a little therapy then?

1:08:12🔗 Caller I've been through therapy.

1:08:13🔗 Adam Well, not through it. I think it's an ongoing thing, especially when your dad beat you.

1:08:17🔗 Drew And especially since you are unable to tolerate being in a real relationship. You can't tolerate it. You can't tolerate tenderness.

1:08:24🔗 Caller I'm asking what can I do to keep this other guy? I mean, what can I, I mean, because I'm always wanting to be with him. I'm always calling him and it like gets on his nerves.

1:08:33🔗 Caller And he said I was smothering him and...

1:08:36🔗 Drew Which guy are you smothering?

1:08:37🔗 Caller The good guy.

1:08:39🔗 Adam You're smothering the good guy.

1:08:41🔗 Caller Because I'm always wanting to be with him always.

1:08:45🔗 Adam Interesting. Now, both Drew and I have that un-puzzled look on our face. Smothering him. And he's a real good guy.

1:08:54🔗 Caller Yeah, I mean...

1:08:55🔗 Adam Real good guys, the kind of good guy that Drew and I are thinking about aren't worried about being smothered.

1:09:00🔗 Drew Right. They don't say that.

1:09:00🔗 Adam They like being smothered.

1:09:02🔗 Drew Right.

1:09:02🔗 Adam They're like a hot dog just waiting for something to be dumped on.

1:09:04🔗 Drew Right. While the not so good guys start pushing you away.

1:09:08🔗 Adam How good a guy is this so-called good guy?

1:09:11🔗 Caller He is like, because I have like a low self-esteem.

1:09:14🔗 Drew No kidding. Thanks. No, but that's what we're talking about here, Liz. That's what needs to be changed. And by the way, if you were through therapy, there would not be such low self-esteem.

1:09:26🔗 Adam You'd have a medium low self-esteem like we have after years of therapy. Low medium. Okay.

1:09:34🔗 Drew We're aware of it.

1:09:35🔗 Adam What about this good guy? How old is he?

1:09:37🔗 Caller He's 24.

1:09:39🔗 Caller Oh, my ex is 23.

1:09:42🔗 Adam What's the 24-year-old guy do?

1:09:44🔗 Caller He works for American Airlines.

1:09:46🔗 Adam Yeah. Doing what?

1:09:48🔗 Caller He works on their computers. Okay.

1:09:51🔗 Adam All right. And can you control yourself then? You know what you're doing?

1:09:56🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:09:56🔗 Caller I think it's like a main like, like a fact, infatuation, but I don't know how to get over it.

1:10:01🔗 Drew You don't need to get over it.

1:10:02🔗 Adam Hold on a second.

1:10:04🔗 Drew You don't need to get over it.

1:10:06🔗 Adam She is the subtle riddler.

1:10:08🔗 Drew Yeah, yeah.

1:10:09🔗 Adam Because she's talking about one guy clearly, but the term she uses and the word she chooses would imply that she's talking about the old guy. You know, it's an infatuation. I don't know how to get over. It seems like she's going to call and say, here's what we're prepared for, Drew. And you and I are on the same page here. She's calling and saying like, I was with this old guy. I was really abusive. I broke things off. I found a really great guy. And I don't know what to do with this. I keep thinking about him. I can't get away from him. I'm infatuated with him.

1:10:40🔗 Drew The new guy.

1:10:41🔗 Adam We keep thinking though she's talking about the old guy. That's what the energy feels like.

1:10:45🔗 Drew But you know what's going to happen is, it's going to be, I got to stop this. And then magically what she does, just drift back to the old guy. So this is really still about the old guy.

1:10:52🔗 Adam Well, yes. Stay with this new guy.

1:10:56🔗 Drew Go ahead and smother him.

1:10:57🔗 Adam Go ahead and smother him. Try to control yourself and get back into therapy.

1:11:03🔗 Drew Okay.

1:11:04🔗 Adam All right. Listen, fine. Or don't. Listen, I don't care. I go home at 12. That's it. And you guys who think I think about you.

1:11:13🔗 Drew Okay, Adam.

1:11:14🔗 Adam Okay. You folks who think I'm haunted by you when I get home. Are you kidding? I turn that TV on and put my feet up. I don't even know what job I have anymore. I am like an animal that way. I turn on the TV, I think I'm actually in whatever show I'm watching. Do you understand that?

1:11:35🔗 Drew But let's talk about advice in general. If advice were really easy, you'd be doing it. If it's a path of least resistance, you'd already be doing it. Whatever advice we're going to give you, probably you're going to resist and not want to hear. Otherwise you'd already be doing it.

1:11:49🔗 Adam Okay. Back to therapy. We'll be back.

1:12:20🔗 Caller Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, this is Fatboy Slim.

1:12:23🔗 Adam You're listening to Loveline with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Let's pop back on those phones. Let's attack those phones, Drew. See if we can help some more people.

1:12:46🔗 Caller Hmm?

1:12:47🔗 Adam What do you say there, buddy? Here we go now. Let's go now.

1:12:50🔗 Caller Let's go.

1:12:50🔗 Adam Becky?

1:12:51🔗 Caller Yes?

1:12:52🔗 Adam 21, let's go now.

1:12:53🔗 Caller All right.

1:12:54🔗 Caller All right.

1:12:55🔗 Caller I just want to say that I totally love you guys, and I know everybody always says that, but I just want to say it.

1:12:59🔗 Adam All right, Becky.

1:12:59🔗 Caller Okay.

1:13:00🔗 Caller Whatever.

1:13:01🔗 Caller Whatever.

1:13:02🔗 Caller So, okay.

1:13:04🔗 Caller So I have this friend, I met him about four months ago, and since we've known each other, we've been totally inseparable. We see each other like every single day. If we don't see each other, we talk to each other on the phone. All of my friends say, why aren't you guys together? All of his friends say, why aren't you guys together? One night we were at a party and we were totally drunk, so they strategically placed us on a futon together when everybody went to bed to see if anything would happen. And yeah, stuff did.

1:13:29🔗 Drew It's like mixing a couple of chemicals together.

1:13:31🔗 Adam Right.

1:13:32🔗 Caller Whatever.

1:13:32🔗 Drew And they put you together in the Petri dish, yes. And?

1:13:35🔗 Caller Pretty much.

1:13:35🔗 Adam What happened?

1:13:36🔗 Caller We just kind of hooked up a little bit. We didn't like go all the way or anything, but we just kind of messed around and stuff. And then after it turned out he was so drunk that he didn't remember or he says he doesn't remember. But I had to explain it to him the next day. I'm all, yeah, last night stuff happened. And he's like, what are you talking about? I'm all, stuff happened between me and you. And he's like, oh. He's like, well, I'm not going to have that mess up, you know, mess us up because we hooked up at a party or whatever. And so ever since then, we've still been cool and everything, hanging out every day. We tell each other like everything.

1:14:12🔗 Drew Becky, Becky, you are into this guy in a big way.

1:14:16🔗 Caller So much so you don't even know.

1:14:17🔗 Drew Yeah, and you better tell him that.

1:14:19🔗 Caller Well, he knows.

1:14:20🔗 Drew No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. So you told him? Yeah, I love you. You're my best friend.

1:14:26🔗 Caller I told him, like, the first two weeks that we knew each other, we would drive around for like hours and hours and talk about everything. And finally I just said, you know what? I'm not going to say his name because just in case he's listening.

1:14:37🔗 Caller I was like, you know what?

1:14:39🔗 Caller I like you and I've been pretty obvious about it. And he goes, well, I totally love to date you and all that kind of stuff, but I don't want to complicate our friendship right now.

1:14:46🔗 Drew And that's it. The case closed.

1:14:48🔗 Caller That was a long time ago.

1:14:50🔗 Drew Yeah, well, he managed to keep it back into the friend category and you accepted that and that's where he wants to keep it.

1:14:59🔗 Caller But that was like three and a half months ago.

1:15:00🔗 Adam You're overweight.

1:15:02🔗 Drew That is more evidence of how entrenched in Friendville you are.

1:15:06🔗 Caller OK, but then listen, I stayed the night at his house and we sleep in the same bed.

1:15:11🔗 Adam And he let you blow him.

1:15:13🔗 Caller I know, but that is not what happened.

1:15:15🔗 Adam Yes, you gave him a BJ. BJ.

1:15:18🔗 Caller OK, listen, Saturday night, this last Saturday, I stayed the night and stuff ended up happening and we still haven't talked about it. And then the next night, we always go to the movies on Sunday nights. And the next night, he brought another girl, this other girl that's like my competition or whatever.

1:15:35🔗 Adam Your competition.

1:15:37🔗 Caller All right.

1:15:38🔗 Adam Well, you've proven your point.

1:15:39🔗 Caller What's it for all?

1:15:40🔗 Drew Becky, Becky.

1:15:41🔗 Adam Are you a pre-law? What are you studying for?

1:15:45🔗 Caller Communication.

1:15:45🔗 Adam Oh, your honor, my client is, he's guilty. Let's eat. You did give him some oral sex on Saturday though.

1:15:56🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:15:57🔗 Adam Then on Sunday, he brought your arch nemesis.

1:16:00🔗 Drew That's a loud message to you.

1:16:01🔗 Adam Oh, man.

1:16:03🔗 Caller See, now my problem, and I'm wondering if there's something that I'm doing. Like am I putting out like a friend?

1:16:10🔗 Drew No, Becky, no.

1:16:11🔗 Caller Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, we feel so bad for you.

1:16:24🔗 Adam He is not interested in you that way.

1:16:27🔗 Drew You can't make him go to that place.

1:16:30🔗 Adam He's never been interested in you that way.

1:16:32🔗 Caller But he says stuff all the time.

1:16:35🔗 Caller No, no, Becky.

1:16:37🔗 Adam He says stuff because you bring stuff up.

1:16:39🔗 Caller No, no, no, we were having a conversation the other night.

1:16:41🔗 Adam Becky, Becky, Becky, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Becky, Becky, Becky.

1:16:45🔗 Drew Yes. Becky, Becky, Becky.

1:16:46🔗 Adam Becky, Becky, Becky. He ain't interested, screw Becky. Screwball.

1:16:50🔗 Caller I'm not a screwball.

1:16:52🔗 Adam Yes. You're thick.

1:16:54🔗 Drew No, no. She's not thick. Yeah.

1:16:56🔗 Adam I agree. She's in love and she will not accept the truth. Yes. Which is this guy ain't interested.

1:17:02🔗 Drew Explain, Becky, listen to Adam for a second. How would a guy behave if he were into this?

1:17:07🔗 Adam He would have been on it. You know the two weeks? First off, you would have never got to the point where you had the discussion where you liked him. Because he would have been on you immediately.

1:17:16🔗 Drew What does it mean, the guy?

1:17:17🔗 Caller He's never really had a girlfriend.

1:17:19🔗 Drew Hold on. Well, I've been wondering if he's gay. That's one of the things running through my mind. That's a possible explanation.

1:17:25🔗 Caller No.

1:17:27🔗 Adam He's a nice guy. He likes a BJ. And he likes Becky, but he's not attracted to Becky.

1:17:33🔗 Drew Right.

1:17:33🔗 Adam He thinks Becky's a great person. It's not really. He's just not attracted to you.

1:17:37🔗 Caller Well, then why does stuff keep happening?

1:17:39🔗 Adam Because you come over and offer to blow him.

1:17:41🔗 Caller I did not offer.

1:17:42🔗 Drew Well, you make yourself available.

1:17:46🔗 Adam Yeah. Yeah. Becky, you know what the truth is. Don't argue with us.

1:17:50🔗 Drew You're wasting your time with me.

1:17:51🔗 Adam If you thought for a second he really liked you, you'd be working on that. You wouldn't be trying to convince us so we can make you feel better about something that you know is the truth.

1:17:59🔗 Drew If the guy was really into her and he was sleeping in the same bed with her, think about that.

1:18:04🔗 Adam Here's the way it would have worked. Forget about meeting up the next night for a movie. You could have had sex all Saturday night. It would have made you a nice big fat omelet the next morning and then you guys would have ridden around on bicycles with baskets on the front. Well, the fifth dimension played in the background.

1:18:27🔗 Drew What would the bubble be over his head?

1:18:29🔗 Adam He would have just loved, you know, Penny for Your Thoughts, all that stuff. He's not into her. Screw Becky. He's not into her. Sorry. Becky, stop wasting your time.

1:18:40🔗 Drew I know. I'm so sorry for her.

1:18:43🔗 Adam I do. And here's the sad part. All you girls and all you guys, especially you girls, what am I doing wrong? I mean, he seemed to, what am I doing wrong? I say to him and he says he wants this kind of person and I tell him I'm that kind of person and we totally click and he doesn't like this other guy but he says he doesn't like this other kind but yet he's always with him. What am I doing wrong? I think I'm scaring him away. You know what I'm doing? I'm coming on too strong. He's not, he's getting a mixed message from him. No, no, no, no. If he's interested he's saying, look, everybody, guys, let me explain guys. Guys send away for wives to other countries. Forget about clicking. What are you doing wrong? Guy open a magazine, see a chick, point at the chick and happily be with her. Forget about what you're doing to steer them away, especially a 22, 23 year old guy.

1:19:35🔗 Drew Whatever that it is has to be there.

1:19:37🔗 Adam And he ain't into it. Anna?

1:19:40🔗 Caller This is me.

1:19:41🔗 Adam 22, what's up?

1:19:43🔗 Caller Well, I haven't had sex in almost three years.

1:19:46🔗 Adam Wow.

1:19:47🔗 Caller I don't masturbate.

1:19:49🔗 Adam Nice.

1:19:49🔗 Caller I want so badly to just wake up and be married and have that all done with. But it just seems so hard to like meet guys and date.

1:19:59🔗 Adam What is up?

1:20:01🔗 Caller I don't know. I've looked everywhere. I've looked, done the whole bar thing. I've done the whole church thing. I've done, looked at work. Just doesn't seem to be anybody. I haven't met guys at the grocery store.

1:20:13🔗 Drew Have you had a boyfriend?

1:20:15🔗 Caller No, I haven't for three years.

1:20:16🔗 Drew How come? I don't know.

1:20:18🔗 Adam I haven't done that whole thing.

1:20:19🔗 Drew What happened with the last one?

1:20:21🔗 Caller Actually, I have two kids.

1:20:23🔗 Drew Oh, here we go.

1:20:24🔗 Caller Oh, yeah.

1:20:25🔗 Drew Here we go.

1:20:26🔗 Caller And my daughter's dad is the last person that I was with.

1:20:29🔗 Drew Yeah, so these guys have been real assholes, assheads to you.

1:20:33🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:20:34🔗 Drew Yeah, so that's why it's not working out. You're scared to death this is all going to happen again.

1:20:39🔗 Caller Is that what it is? That I'm going to get pregnant?

1:20:41🔗 Drew Well, you're going to get, some idiot's going to, yeah, somebody's going to abandon you again, which is probably the kind of guy you're attracted to.

1:20:47🔗 Adam Same dad?

1:20:49🔗 Drew Both kids?

1:20:50🔗 Adam No.

1:20:50🔗 Caller No. My son's dad's married and he still sees him, and we get along, and my dad's daughter's got his head so far up his ass he can't see the light of day. So we don't talk to him.

1:21:02🔗 Adam Your daughter's dad, right?

1:21:03🔗 Drew But it's interesting, twist on words there.

1:21:06🔗 Adam Two different guys, huh?

1:21:08🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:21:08🔗 Drew Is the second one sort of like your dad?

1:21:11🔗 Caller No, my dad actually, I didn't really like my dad as I was growing up, but my parents were married, everything was normal. And now I realize that's who I want, I want somebody that's exactly like my dad, because my dad was so loving to my mom.

1:21:27🔗 Adam Why didn't you like your dad?

1:21:29🔗 Caller Uh, I don't know.

1:21:31🔗 Drew He had his head kind of up his ass too?

1:21:33🔗 Caller He was grumpy, yeah, he was grumpy.

1:21:36🔗 Adam Yeah, what a great guy. Really? I mean, just because he didn't divorce your mom didn't beat her, didn't mean he was a great guy.

1:21:44🔗 Caller Oh, my dad, oh no. I think my mom controlled the relationship a little bit, but my dad would do anything for my mom.

1:21:51🔗 Adam Yeah, but not for you.

1:21:53🔗 Caller Um, probably not at this point.

1:21:56🔗 Drew Well, you just said he had his head up his ass.

1:21:57🔗 Adam I mean, growing up, screwball.

1:22:00🔗 Caller Yeah, he would do it, yeah.

1:22:01🔗 Adam All right, well, you said, I don't know, for a guy who's loved your mom very much and would do anything for you, you don't sound very appreciative.

1:22:08🔗 Drew Yeah, you said he had his head up his ass.

1:22:10🔗 Caller No, my daughter's dad.

1:22:12🔗 Drew Ah, okay.

1:22:13🔗 Adam Yeah, you didn't sound like you were too nuts about your dad either, though.

1:22:18🔗 Caller I love him. He lives far away, though, now.

1:22:21🔗 Adam Okay, thanks. Hey, let me ask you a question. Let me talk to Drew for a second. Has there been some sort of experimental military program where they've taught animals to talk that I'm not aware of?

1:22:36🔗 Drew As Joe Rogan said.

1:22:37🔗 Caller Is that what's going on out there?

1:22:38🔗 Drew When Joe Rogan was up here, he said something I thought was very astute. He goes, hey, we're just monkeys who talk. That's it. Monkeys who talk.

1:22:46🔗 Adam He should talk about monkeys who talk.

1:22:48🔗 Drew That's right. That's pretty astute.

1:22:50🔗 Adam But listen, I mean, I'm picturing some sort of military experiment that went awry, where the animals got over the fence, and now they're calling the show in.

1:22:58🔗 Drew Yeah, I think that, yeah.

1:23:00🔗 Adam You like your dad? Yes. He lives far away. Yeah, but growing up, what can I get to... Well, not now. Now, really about her dad, she's told me that he was a good guy, that he loved her mother very much, and he was a little bit grumpy, and she wasn't crazy about it. But then as soon as I questioned that, it immediately got into the present tense, where he lived far away. I'm going to try this one more time, but oh my god, more Anna over here. Anna?

1:23:33🔗 Caller I'm here.

1:23:34🔗 Adam Please, be...

1:23:37🔗 Caller Forthcoming.

1:23:37🔗 Adam Be more forthcoming. Your dad growing up, he was a good dad to you?

1:23:44🔗 Caller He was. I just didn't realize it.

1:23:46🔗 Adam Okay.

1:23:48🔗 Drew Now wait a minute. There's no such thing as that.

1:23:50🔗 Adam No. I mean, judging by the guys you hooked up, he was a saint. The guys who fathered your kids.

1:23:58🔗 Caller Right. Right.

1:23:59🔗 Adam But growing up, you weren't that fond of your dad, right?

1:24:02🔗 Caller No. I was rebellious and I hated him then.

1:24:06🔗 Caller Why?

1:24:08🔗 Caller I don't know.

1:24:09🔗 Caller Okay.

1:24:09🔗 Drew Well, there's something very, very serious there. And that's where all this energy is being funneled into your peers.

1:24:15🔗 Adam When you get to the answer of why you hated your dad for no reason growing up, it's going to help you meet a guy in your current adult state.

1:24:23🔗 Drew There's not no reason for hatred, okay? Okay.

1:24:26🔗 Adam I mean, you can be rebellious and a kid can be rebellious, but hating...

1:24:29🔗 Drew And be angry.

1:24:30🔗 Adam Hating your dad for no reason is kind of weird. And I bet that has to do with why you can't meet a guy now or at least the right guy.

1:24:39🔗 Caller And what about the masturbation? Why don't I do that?

1:24:43🔗 Adam I have no idea, Anna, but there's more issues than meets the ear with you.

1:24:48🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:24:48🔗 Adam I would assume, right?

1:24:50🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:24:50🔗 Adam And so I think it's time on behalf of your children, because you don't want to pull a number on your kids. You don't want to screw them up like your parents did to you, right?

1:25:00🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:25:01🔗 Adam How about a little therapy, a little soul-searching, reading a few books, keep paying attention. You know what I mean? I hate to say it. Watch Oprah a little bit. When that big bald Texan guy gets on there and starts talking about what's going wrong, listen to him, listen to this show. Pick up some knowledge.

1:25:19🔗 Drew Dad may have done a little something.

1:25:22🔗 Adam You think your dad may have molested you and you didn't know it?

1:25:26🔗 Caller No. Actually, I've never been molested.

1:25:28🔗 Drew But no. That's a strange way to answer that question, wasn't it?

1:25:32🔗 Adam Yeah. Anna, you have a weird suspicious way of answering almost every question. Did he hit you?

1:25:40🔗 Caller When I was older, like 14 and 15.

1:25:43🔗 Drew That's pretty serious right there. And we wonder if he did something else touch you or was inappropriate with you in some way, maybe when you were younger, too, that sort of created that distrust and the powerlessness.

1:25:52🔗 Caller I don't think it was sexual, but I guess when I was a kid he spanked us with a belt, too.

1:25:57🔗 Drew That's physical abuse, okay?

1:26:00🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:26:00🔗 Drew All right. So you get very minimum physical abuse, very minimum. And by the way, that's the kind of guy that perpetrates physical abuse on young girls. Think about striking your kids with a belt for a second, Anna.

1:26:11🔗 Adam No, not unless they were asking for it. And everyone's asking for it. That's the way I look at it, even if they're not actually asking for it. We'll take a break.

1:26:19🔗 Caller We'll be back. Oh, God!

1:26:22🔗 Loveline, we'll be right back. Call on the 1-800-LOVE-191.

1:26:58🔗 Adam Hey, everybody.

1:27:00🔗 Caller Whoo-wee!

1:27:01🔗 Caller Hoo-la-la, hoo-la-la.

1:27:03🔗 Caller Hiccaboo!

1:27:04🔗 Caller Hiccaboo! Hiccaboo!

1:27:06🔗 Adam All right, here we go. Let's rock here, Drew. Chrissy?

1:27:11🔗 Caller Yes?

1:27:11🔗 Adam 19.

1:27:12🔗 Caller Uh-huh.

1:27:13🔗 Adam You're a virgin?

1:27:14🔗 Caller Yes.

1:27:15🔗 Adam It's difficult to stay that way in college.

1:27:18🔗 Caller Oh, yeah.

1:27:19🔗 Caller I've been it like two years now, going on 20 next month, and it just seems like it's getting harder and harder.

1:27:24🔗 Adam What's up with your phone?

1:27:27🔗 Caller Oh, it's a cell phone.

1:27:29🔗 Adam You have a land phone you can get on?

1:27:31🔗 Drew Well, she'll have to hang up to do that. What's she gonna do?

1:27:33🔗 Adam I don't know. I wouldn't mind if she hung up. I'm looking for excuses. Okay, look. Are you a religious person?

1:27:41🔗 Caller No, actually. That's not it at all.

1:27:43🔗 Caller I don't know. I think it's just been the wrong guy, and now, like, I've, um...

1:27:48🔗 Adam Well, the goddamn phone line's driving me nuts. Look, you're a virgin. You're fine. Stay with it. God bless.

1:27:53🔗 Drew Godspeed. Good times.

1:27:55🔗 Adam Good times. Good times. Frank?

1:27:58🔗 Uh, yeah.

1:27:59🔗 Adam You're 18?

1:27:59🔗 Caller How you doing?

1:28:00🔗 Adam Good.

1:28:01🔗 Caller Um, Dr. Drew, you're cool. Um, Adam?

1:28:03🔗 Adam Thank you. Thank you, buddy. What's up?

1:28:05🔗 Caller I just had a problem, like, with my girlfriend. Uh, we've been going out for, like, nine months now, and, like, her whole family situation's, like, really bad. She suffered from, like, depression and everything like that. And it's like, um, the other day, I noticed, like, all these cuts on her wrist, and it's just, you know, it's getting worse and worse and worse.

1:28:22🔗 Drew She would cut her.

1:28:23🔗 Caller And she's just telling me, like, you know, like, she doesn't even feel any more. She's just, like, numb.

1:28:28🔗 Drew Well, alright, what's the question? She's got a very, very serious problem.

1:28:31🔗 Caller Yeah, like, what do I, you know, what do I do is, like, I talk to her, and, like, um...

1:28:35🔗 Drew Make sure the people that take care of her see her regularly.

1:28:38🔗 Caller Yeah, but that's the problem. Like, um, her family, like, her parents have, like, totally cut her off from, like, um, like, kind of, like, everybody outside. Like, they won't let me see her. They won't let my friends see her. Like, it's, her mom's, like, Filipino, and she's, like, kind of, like, immigrant. And so she's, like, she's not real. She's nuts. I mean, she's just, like, nuts.

1:28:58🔗 Adam Is she getting no help?

1:28:59🔗 Caller She's getting none. I mean, like...

1:29:01🔗 Adam Okay. Can you tell, can you tell the counselor at school?

1:29:04🔗 Caller I, I, we did. And, like, she doesn't want to go because, like, what we did, and she was going. And, um, like, what happened was, they couldn't do anything for her. Like, the family counseling, it wasn't helping. Like, she, like, she didn't get anywhere.

1:29:16🔗 Adam Can you, can you have a talk with her mom?

1:29:18🔗 Caller Me?

1:29:19🔗 Adam Me? No, I'm going to go over there and talk to her.

1:29:21🔗 Caller Yeah, no, I mean, like, like, no way.

1:29:24🔗 Adam No.

1:29:25🔗 Caller Her mom's like, it's just, I mean, her dad's like the biggest puss. And, like, they're not going to do anything for her. And, I mean, all this stuff is like, it's like a cry for help, you know?

1:29:34🔗 Adam Yeah, look, it sounds like you two ought to break up and just worry about her health.

1:29:38🔗 Caller Yeah, no, well, I'm, I'm totally, like, I'm just concerned for her, like, I really, I really care for her and I love her.

1:29:44🔗 Adam It's tough because, uh, you can't infiltrate that family circle and it's a, it's a mess. I, I don't know, I mean, she's underage, she's 17, maybe ought to call Child Protective Services. She's, she's, you know, essentially suicidal and they're seeking no help for her.

1:30:02🔗 Drew She has no caretakers? Is that what he said?

1:30:05🔗 Adam He was saying, Frank?

1:30:06🔗 Caller Yeah, she has, like, like, mom and dad, everything like that, right?

1:30:09🔗 Drew But no, but no psychiatric care?

1:30:11🔗 Caller Yeah, nothing.

1:30:12🔗 Drew Well, then you got, you got to alert the local authorities. If you see her cutting herself, you got to tell someone. That's it. Somebody's got to intervene on her behalf.

1:30:20🔗 Adam I would really go talk to the school counselors one more time, explain the situation.

1:30:24🔗 Drew Yeah, if you can get the school people involved, yeah, sure.

1:30:26🔗 Adam Let them, you know.

1:30:27🔗 Drew Handle it.

1:30:28🔗 Adam Right.

1:30:28🔗 Drew Yeah, that's not your job.

1:30:30🔗 Adam Scott? Scott?

1:30:31🔗 Yeah, I'm here.

1:30:32🔗 Adam You're 33. What's up?

1:30:33🔗 Caller Yeah, what's up?

1:30:33🔗 Adam What's up?

1:30:34🔗 Caller I just have a trouble with my girlfriend trying to beat me up.

1:30:37🔗 Drew Yeah?

1:30:38🔗 Caller I want to take a little out of the room, okay?

1:30:39🔗 Drew All right. Take your lift, him.

1:30:42🔗 Adam I like to kick Scott's ass. Talking for 12 seconds, I want to go in there and smack him once. Scott, what's up with your girlfriend?

1:30:52🔗 Caller We have trouble. She likes to, we get into arguments and she likes to say she takes it out, she likes to beat me up.

1:30:56🔗 Adam Why don't you break up with her?

1:30:58🔗 Caller Right.

1:30:58🔗 Caller Well, you know what? That's the guy at the upper that told me the same thing.

1:31:01🔗 Caller Right.

1:31:01🔗 Caller I love her.

1:31:02🔗 Adam He's a genius.

1:31:02🔗 Drew But I love her.

1:31:03🔗 Caller I do.

1:31:04🔗 Adam What's her nationality?

1:31:06🔗 Caller She's Italian.

1:31:07🔗 Adam Yeah, they're feisty.

1:31:08🔗 Caller Yeah, they are.

1:31:09🔗 Adam They're hot.

1:31:10🔗 Caller That's right.

1:31:12🔗 Adam They got fire in their blood.

1:31:13🔗 Drew They have good sex. That's right.

1:31:15🔗 Adam Scott, I bet, you know what, though? I bet when things start escalating, you're playing along, too.

1:31:21🔗 Drew Oh, sure.

1:31:21🔗 Adam You've got to defuse the situation. Do you understand?

1:31:24🔗 Caller You know, I hear you. I understand. I go into another room, lock myself, get away from her.

1:31:28🔗 Drew Yeah?

1:31:29🔗 Adam Yeah, that's after things are going already. Don't let them get escalating.

1:31:33🔗 Drew A lot of people, though, they're so used to being in aggressive family systems that they just express themselves that way.

1:31:39🔗 Adam Scott, if you really would like this to go away, here's what you have to do. The next time this happens, you say, look, that's it. You put her on hold.

1:31:48🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:31:49🔗 Adam You tell her, this ever happens again, that's it. You got to be prepared to walk.

1:31:52🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:31:52🔗 Adam That's the only way you can clear. Any, look, anytime somebody is doing some behavior that's reprehensible, or that doesn't work for you, you have to first be prepared to go.

1:32:02🔗 Drew Yep. I agree with you.

1:32:03🔗 You pansy!

1:32:05🔗 Adam You know what it's like? It's like when you go in and ask for a raise, or you tell your boss, or whoever, look, this is what I need, this is the position I need, this is the title I need. Before you walk into that office, make sure you got in your head, you're ready to walk. If this person, line up your ducks, emotionally, financially, whatever it is, be ready to walk if this person does not comply. We'll be back. Well, there you go.
