1:02🔗VoiceoverListener discretion is advised. Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.
1:13🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. Guess who's back? Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, big episode of The Man Show on tonight.
2:05🔗AdamAbout five blocks away. Not five blocks the way you would picture them in your neighborhood. They're very short. Each block's probably a couple hundred feet. So, you know, 200 yards away kind of thing. And, you know, the thing that's, besides how massive the thing is and what it looks like color-wise, Jimmy said to me, wow, there's a lot of wood in that World Trade Center, he says. And I was getting prepared for an argument, because he can argue anything, as you know. What it is is, I said, no, there's not a drop of wood in there. That's just rust and cement and charred stuff. But from the distance you're looking at, it looks like a huge pile. The only thing you can liken it to, in a way, is like when the timber industry does a bunch of clear cutting, and they put everything down, the flume down the river, and it gets piles up or something.
3:08🔗AdamAnd it's daunting. And the other thing that's amazing about the thing, is it's still burning.
3:13🔗DrewYeah, still, did you go at night? No, I did not go at night. That smoke coming off at night with the lights on it, it looks like, I mean, like a movie set.
3:22🔗AdamYeah, it really is what movies are made of. It's like mood lighting with the haze coming off, it's as if someone's pumping it in. But I was there two days ago, and it's been a few weeks plus, and smoke's pouring out of that thing. I mean, it's not on fire, but it is still hot. Hot, still smoldering. There's material that is burning. It's weird because so much of that building is concrete, and steel, and glass.
3:57🔗AdamAnd drywall, gypsum, acoustic ceiling tiles, and aluminum tracks, and grease, and cables. And it's like, what is still burning down there? And there's a couple of things you figure out from these sort of things, which is, when fire gets hot enough, everything burns at a certain point. Steel I-beams obviously begin to burn at a certain point, and that may be part of it. But anyway, very sobering being down at ground zero a couple days ago, or at least as close as I could. I left early this morning, 6 a.m. from my hotel in New York.
4:39🔗AdamGood thing I went out and partied and drank like a fish last night. And I got to the airport three hours early. Was upset to find out that no booze served in New York before noon. Did not know this. I am going to have to start traveling with a flask. Because let me tell you, especially since, Drew, you'll back me up. I used to get stewed on the flight before the whole terrorist scare.
5:18🔗AdamI mean, but listen, am I right? I mean, come on, you're flying out at JFK. You think you're just going to sit there with three cups of coffee and you're like a bear claw?
5:40🔗AdamYeah, you went to bed, but I need a Bloody Mary. So no booze before noon in New York, which I didn't know about. And I don't know if it's new. And you always hear them bragging about, you always hear New York bragging, because they go, we serve booze till four and you pussies only serve it till two. But I'd like to come back with, hey, buddy, our bars open at seven when bars should open. You got a big five hours. Anderson is saying six now. Is it six? That's right. Six a.m. Our bars are full six hours. You got to wait in New York to get yourself a snort. So that was that was bad. But wait a minute.
6:27🔗AdamWhat I'm saying is, is I mean, I'm in a full six past when ours open in a full eight after years closed. So eat my shorts, New York. We got two hours on you.
6:39🔗AdamYeah. And but the good news is, is somehow the plane is like international waters. Cause the second I got on the plane, I ordered the Bloody Mary and here came the Bloody Mary.
6:51🔗AdamAnd I thought to myself, well, we're still in New York, aren't we? We're on the ground for Christ's sake. As a matter of fact, I'm 20 feet away from the place I was trying to get a drink from when I was inside the airport.
7:24🔗AdamJim Brown dresses like Jim Brown. It's like it's a new uniform for him. Sleeveless, all in black, wearing the koofy hat, a weird little sort of African. It's a little bigger in a yarmulke, a little smaller in a top hat. And he's sitting back there, had an uncomfortable conversation with him.
7:43🔗AdamWell, when we landed in LA., there was a bomb threat in the airport at LAX today, which was great because our plane landed like a half hour early. And by the way, anyone who's ever flown, you see what happens to whatever time, whatever, whatever that margin of time is that you land early, see how that is eaten up before you get into the airport. It always gets eaten up.
8:08🔗DrewBecause waiting for somebody to pull out of the gate.
8:10🔗AdamOut of the 1,000 times I've flown, I've landed 10 times I've landed early. And they're always bragging about it. Well, it looks like we're going to be on the ground about 15 minutes early. And we thought, we're supposed to come in at 1155, but we're going to be touching down about 1125. So it's about a half, they're always bragging. But then you get on the ground, and now you burn it on the ground. Because they go, well, we got here a little bit early, so the gate's not ready. It's like, yeah, no less. We're early. I don't care if it's in the air. I guess now we get to just sit on the tarmac. So we sat out on the tarmac for about 15 minutes. The gate opened up. We pulled into the gate. And now there's a bomb threat on our side of the airport in the terminal. And nobody can get off the plane because the bomb squad's going through the airplane, going through the terminal. And so they figured to be safe from the plane. And I'm just sitting there stewing because now my early arrivals have gone out the window. We sit there for about an hour. They finally connect the jetway and they open the door. But we still ain't going no where. So I say to Jim Brown, who's standing behind me holding his hat to shake his, Jim, I know you're Hall of Famer and used to carrying the ball, but you got a few pounds on me. I'd like you to lead. And I'll go in behind you. And I need you to be essentially my full back. And when the gate guy comes up, he's probably one of these gay ticket guys. You lay into him like he's an inside linebacker trying to step up and fill the hole. And I'll cut off your block. And I'll go like OJ through the airport. And he's like really serious. And he goes, I don't block. I run the ball. When I played, that was the deal it was. And that's the deal it is now. You know these guys who are so goddamn serious about themselves that they can never even F around even with some scrawny white dude who played a little high school ball and is tramped on a plane with them. Even that, even that they can't risk growing around with. And I came back one more time. I said, yeah, but you know, you're bigger. My wheels are probably better than yours right now. Why don't you just throw that block and I'll cut right off in it. I carry the ball. For a minute I thought we were actually playing. I got caught up in it.
11:17🔗Okay, I was in the shower, right? And I was just fooling around and stuff. And then it was like, all of a sudden, okay, I had the whole hand-held thingy, right? And I had it there for probably like a minute and I just felt like a big rush.
11:35🔗Right? And then all of a sudden, I just got like, I felt hella like jello-y or something. And then I just, it's like for a second, I couldn't breathe.
11:56🔗AdamHold on, Drew. Yeah. I don't know how your house is outfitted. I do know you probably have five, six bathrooms in that palace. And I don't know how many of them have the handheld shower things, but I suggest.
12:35🔗AdamI'll tell you, when I have a young daughter and she starts getting puberty, I'm going to take all the running water out of the house and just put a well pump, an actual hand pump like the old west.
12:45🔗DrewThat's when you want them to be in the shower. Staying in? Stay in the shower. Just keep them in the shower. Put sprayers all over the place.
13:19🔗Well, you tried for an update and I didn't have the phone that night and I haven't really had a chance to call except for last week, but Adam wasn't there. All right. It's not the same.
13:31🔗Well, I haven't touched liquor since, had the chances a million times, found a 21-year-old friend who offered to buy me tequila, but I'm like, no, and can't seek the professional help because we lost our insurance and we're flat broke.
13:47🔗DrewWeren't you saying, this is going to be a stretch, but that you couldn't say no? Wasn't that your thing?
14:18🔗DrewIt leaves us with you not drinking and you understand that drinking is making you or helping you make bad choices, right? Yeah, also is a bad sign. And you're also trying not to sort of give in to the pressure these guys are giving you. You understand where it's coming from a little bit, right?
15:00🔗AdamSo you're going to have to rely a lot on yourself. And I know Drew doesn't like this kind of talk because it means guys like him are out of work.
15:08🔗DrewHey, listen, wait a minute. Go ahead. 12-step is an option that's out there too, and it's free and it puts guys like me out of work, and I think it's a great option for people.
15:18🔗AdamYeah. Well, I just mean this is going to be tougher for you than it may be for a lot of people that have other means at their disposal, resources at their disposal. So you're going to have to really discipline yourself. Can you do that?
15:33🔗CallerOh, yeah. You said I'm getting a grip. I'm getting a grip on one thing, but I'm losing it on others.
15:43🔗CallerI dropped out of school, getting my GED. I got to take five tests before the end of December because 2002 they're making the GEDs twice as hard. I have no chance of passing.
16:00🔗AdamWhat do you want to do? You want to get a job?
16:22🔗CallerWell, it was to become a lawyer. And really, I don't have one because I switch like every week. But I've had the same plans since about fifth grade in the back of my head. Just no one likes it.
17:02🔗AdamI had to pursue my other dream with pirate astronaut, as you know. Hey, Laura? Yeah. Okay, baby, come on now. Don't punch so many holes in your life that... There's no way to patch them by the time you're 20.
17:37🔗CallerMy mom says they're going to turn out just like me, and I'm taking that statement to heart.
17:40🔗AdamYeah. Okay. That's fine. You don't have to... Listen, Laura, here's the deal. Don't look so far down the road. Don't look about when you want to die. Don't look about how many kids you do or don't want to have. Stop looking so far down the road. I hate to sound like a bumper sticker, but take it one day at a time.
17:58🔗DrewAlso, Laura, when people have had severe traumas in their life, which obviously you had, one of the side effects of that, even if it's like being in a plane crash, when you've had traumas, your brain naturally foreshortens your view of the future. If you talk to people who have been through major traumas, they will expect that they're going to die young. They'll anticipate that. So I mean, you don't specifically sound depressed, though I'm sure you are. This business of wanting to die at 25 and all, I don't really consider necessarily suicidal, but more of your foreshortening views of the future because of the severe traumas you've been through. And those post-traumatic stress reactions can be treated. You don't have to ruin your life because of the trauma of the past.
18:41🔗AdamAll right. Don't get pregnant. I know you don't want to. I know you don't want kids, but somehow that's not connected with not getting pregnant, unfortunately.
18:48🔗DrewYou know, they had another one of those fairs out here in Southern California for like the gays, for like holistic medicine and animal rights, and it was like the third thing, all in one place and that to myself. What is up with those people?
19:03🔗DrewI mean, yeah, I mean, these poor kids and the world, I can't understand it. Can't that business wash out and people start re-prioritizing a little bit?
19:13🔗AdamWell, here's the thing. There's something horribly flawed with everyone who likes animals too much, as you know. Yes, yes, you are. And it goes everywhere from sort of lonely to just maniacal and everything in between. But anyway, look, it's good to like animals.
19:36🔗DrewBut let's talk about people who sort of have campaigns about issues that are specifically about them and their lives and their experiences of life.
19:45🔗AdamRight. They go wacko because you're wearing a leather belt.
19:48🔗DrewOr no, no. Or no, forget the animal people.
19:52🔗DrewIt's chronic fatigue, right? The other one you like.
19:56🔗AdamYeah. Okay, listen, here's the point that Drew's trying to make. And he may not be trying to make this point, but this is my point. So I'm going to make it anyway. I've been saving my points for almost a week.
20:07🔗AdamAs long as there's human beings on the planet, like young Laura over here, who's in a world of hurt, she should take priority over any animal. That's the way I look at it. If you love animals so much, the human is the first animal you got to take care of. Ironically, the people that do the most for animals seem to have a certain disdain for human beings because they look at human beings as the ones who enslave these animals and devour these animals and use these animals for them.
20:35🔗DrewI have a point. But be that as it may. Yeah, that's true. I think it's more that people need to find their sort of connection with some meaning in life, some spiritual, some transcendence, some connection with other people, some meaning outside of looking for the right herb to make me feel better.
20:52🔗AdamWell, listen, I was watching 60 Minutes tonight and they had a whole thing on the Muslim religion and they had a couple of guys who were speaking on it. You know the thing that's funny about whenever they talk to the clerics and the higher-ups in the Muslim religion, you know, it's always like, it always reminds me of, it reminds me...
21:14🔗AdamNo, no, forgive reminds me of, it's always the same speech which is, what these people did was horrible and should not be forgiven. But you must understand, you know, it's like, oh, really? America with its oppressive nature and its foreign policy, it's like, oh, okay, now you're saying it wasn't a bad idea? Almost every one of them comes out with this. It really gives me the creeps. But here's the deal. I was listening to these Muslim guys talk, and there's a billion Muslims literally, and they're talking about the Koran and Allah and all this, and they're saying, what these terrorists did, it was a bizarre interpretation of the Koran, and here's how it goes. And really what it is, is you lead a good life, and then when you die, you go to a place where there's virgins, and you eat dates, and it's a better, you know, you go somewhere, that you live your life, and I thought, hey, is it, you live in a mansion where the street's paved with gold, and then I thought, listen, all you religious nutjobs, it doesn't bother you at all that they all have the same theme, that every religion says, you die, and guess what, there's a payday. So just mine your P's and Q's while you're down here on earth, and grind that crappy existence out and further your religious cause, and then you'll die, and that's the payday. And I thought, it doesn't make people a little suspicious about that, that these guys on another part of the world and another part of the planet with a religion that's a billion years old have the exact same thing that we have, which is be good to your brother, don't hurt anybody, take care of everybody, and then when you die, you get to go to this place. Now, they have substituted virgins and date fruit because that's a part of the world they're from. We have our own version of virgins and date fruit. It's more like Graceland, more like Elvis' place, you know, with the shag carpet and everything. We have the Western interpretation of that, but it's the same place and it's the same guy. And that doesn't make everyone think for just a second. I mean, how is it that we all stumbled on to the same notion? Well, I think it's human nature. Thank you very much. No, not all right. We're going to take ourselves a little break. When we come back, we'll speak to Bernice who says 17, her right breast has been hurting for two weeks. She needs meds or drugs. We'll talk to her after this. Hey, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. It's Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. All righty. Let's get back the phones and speak to Bernice.
24:56🔗AdamSweet. Not even going to do the radio math. I'm in that kind of forgiving mood tonight, Drew. Just happy to be back with the kids.
25:03🔗DrewWell, Bernice, the most common thing to cause tenderness is cysts. You want to have a doctor look at it and examine it to make sure that it is just a cyst, but that's probably all it is. There can be infections and there can be other things that can certainly cause it, but it's very common for there to be tenderness in and around the time of the period.
25:18🔗AdamYou know, one thing I learned from traveling to New York and trying to go through airport security over there in New York, the thing about, you want to know the difference between New York and LA? I figured out that we both have many different cultures in New York and LA. I mean, it's a real melting pot, real melting pot, real grab bag, and the difference between LA and New York, and you tell me if this rings true to you at all, Drew, is in LA, we have many different nationalities, but they realize that they have an accent and that people don't understand them sometimes. They talk a little slower. They're almost apologetic when they talk, and they try to use their hands a lot. New York, there's people, crazy accents, but they don't acknowledge it, and it's weird. It's everything from cab drivers to the security at the airport. Meaning, if you got some guy, you run into some guy in the street here, and he's like a Mexican guy, and he doesn't speak good English, he'll let you know it. He won't act like he does. I was going through the, I was actually being searched, going through the metal detector with the arms out, Jesus crucifix type stage. They actually had a wooden cross there that they nailed you to while the guy went over you with the wand. And I had this little woman, she was like from somewhere deep in Jamaica, and she was like five feet tall, and I was putting my hands in, she was like, and I was like, pardon me. And her saying it twice meant she was angry the second time she said it. She thought I was not complying or being sassy. I couldn't understand a goddamn word she was saying. She was like, I was like, pardon? You know, she's like yelling now, like I, I, I, I, I don't know what you want me to do. Like, turn around? Yes. Like a turn around, you know, and then she said she wanted me to back, back, back it up. I couldn't understand a mother of a word she was saying. But the point is, is in her mind, she was speaking the Queen's English and there was no, like all I was was some guy who was being belligerent because I wasn't complying with her demands and I thought in LA, they know they have accents.
27:56🔗CallerOkay. Since I was 14 years old, I've had a constant long-term relationship.
28:01🔗CallerI've had about three consecutive ones. I'm 19 now and I'm finally single and on my own.
28:05🔗CallerIt's kind of scary because I don't really know how guys work when they're dating.
28:10🔗CallerI'm getting wrong signals or something.
28:13🔗DrewWhat do you mean? Give us an example of how you got a wrong signal.
28:15🔗CallerWell, let's say I meet some guys somewhere and we're going out, we're having a good time. I guess it's just because I have this image that all guys want to sex, because I listen to you guys and that's pretty much what you're telling us.
28:27🔗DrewHang on a second. Let's stop right there. Adam, is that about accurate?
28:33🔗AdamI would like to qualify and say, yes, it is the guys who you people are, you young, attractive women are interested in. Yes, all those guys, yes. But if the dorky guy you don't want to date, ironically, he's not only interested in sex, he has other interests. You know what I mean? Like Dungeons and Dragons and things like that. But he would be the slowest moving of all the guys, but you're not interested in him.
29:07🔗CallerYeah, but I've never been in the driver's seat before, you know, and nobody taught me how to drive.
29:12🔗AdamOh, wait, wait a minute. I don't want to seem insensitive, but this is always a stupid conversation. You've had a boyfriend, a few, since you were 14?
29:21🔗CallerFour. I've had... Well, they've all been over a year relationship.
29:25🔗AdamBut you've been with four, had four relationships with four men.
29:31🔗AdamYou know enough. There's not... There's no general overall discussion we got to give you. You have more experience at 19 than most women do. I would say being... I'd say someone who's been in four long-term relationships by the age of 19 probably knows her way around the ropes better than someone who's dated.
29:50🔗DrewYeah, but you know, she's worried about not being able to understand the sort of rituals of dating. And you'll learn that soon enough. In the meantime, just assume... Just follow your instincts, what you're interested in. Just don't rush things along. And don't cave in to demands from guys. Just keep dating until you feel comfortable.
30:10🔗Well, when me and my boyfriend won't... When we've had sex twice, he's ejaculated without knowing it or feeling it at all.
30:21🔗DrewNo, wait a minute. Without feeling it starting up or he had something...
30:25🔗He doesn't feel it at all when he comes. Like, he doesn't know. Okay, like when he's, like, climaxing, he'll pull out and he'll be like, okay, whatever, and then we'll just, like, sit there and relax. And all of a sudden, it'll just, like, come, like, gushing out, like, all over. I'll be like, oh, my God.
30:50🔗AdamShe used the S-word, so we got to go ahead and dump that. Anderson's upset. But Jennifer, see, that sounded like a legitimate slip of the S-word. So I'll forgive her. It's my people's Sabbath, you know, Sunday night.
32:36🔗AdamOkay. Listen. Hey, Jennifer, do me a favor and I want to explain this and give this out to all the listeners. Um, sometimes we speak in blacks and whites on this show and we have to, like when I say, but he has no sensation. He may have 10% or 15%. I don't want to get caught up on that. If he has a little bit, No. The no will still suffice.
32:59🔗DrewI know what she's talking about. She is being wacky the way she's describing it.
33:04🔗AdamWhat is she saying? Where is she living? Because I'm going to come over there and San Francisco. Whack her once.
33:09🔗DrewHe gets the verge of climax. He stops in an attempt to not climax.
33:23🔗Yeah. But then he stops and then he pulls out. And then he thinks that he stopped climaxing. And then we'll just lay there and maybe like one minute later it'll all come out.
33:53🔗AdamNo, after he retards. Oh, who cares? Who cares? I don't care. Go to the gynecologist. Talk to somebody who's got time. I don't have time for people who cannot express themselves in any meaningful fashion. Ten minutes with that witch. Try me nuts. Look, the guy does what every goddamn 18 year old guy does in the world. He's banging away. He pulls out and he can't get the timing down. This is why the rhythm method does not work.
34:20🔗DrewThat's right. Exactly right. And or he ejaculates, has a climax and then there's some stuff that flows out afterwards too.
34:27🔗AdamYeah, he gets that little post his drip going that he may have a big version of that.
34:46🔗AdamOkay. That's it. And as far as him working that out, that's something you guys can work out together and he may not ever master it. And I'll tell you something. You know how got some guys can't swing a baseball bat too good? Right. And that don't change a whole lot from 15 to 40, 45 to 50. Some guys can't swing a dork too good. And I don't know why we all think that's going to be better. Do you know what I'm saying? How come certain guys, you play basketball with some guys?
35:16🔗AdamThey can hang on the rim and other guys can't touch the net. Right. And they're the same height. How does that work? It's same way your penis doesn't work. Same way you can do same way. You know those guys who can do a really good cockney accent or good French accent?
35:35🔗AdamDon't know. But same with your penis, everybody. You can work on a little bit, but not that much. That's why you got to wear the condom. Brandon?
35:45🔗CallerYeah. Basically, my friend called me the other night and she was just freaking out. And she told me that my friend was going to be running away. He's going to go sometime this week and pawn off all his stuff after his parents leave for work. And then he's just going to take off and go down to California with two other friends.
36:05🔗DrewWhat's going on in his home that's got to get away?
36:08🔗CallerWell, he just moved here from Vancouver. He was here before. He moved there for about a half a year. And then he just, he came back here this summer.
36:16🔗DrewWhat is going on in his home that he needs to run away?
36:19🔗AdamI'm a little loveline now. A little loveline recreation.
36:22🔗DrewWhat is going on in his home that he needs to run away?
36:25🔗AdamHe used to live in Vancouver. Then he came down here with his parents.
36:31🔗DrewWhat is going on in his home that makes him need to run away?
36:34🔗AdamI told you he lived in Vancouver, you idiot. Brandon?
36:42🔗CallerWhy I told you that is because he hates it here now. It's his home. I don't think there's anything really wrong there. But we live in a little town.
36:49🔗DrewYeah, Brandon. Teenagers run away when there's abuse in the home, that's it.
36:52🔗DrewThat's it. That's why they run away. So I'm going to give you a hotline you can call, and they can give you some specific recommendations.
36:58🔗AdamWell, hold on. Let Brandon grab a pen or pencil. Hey, Brandon? Yeah. Yeah. I'm half with you in that there could be, he could miss his home and his old friends or whatever.
37:10🔗DrewHe's not going back to Vancouver though, right?
37:12🔗CallerNo. He's planned on running to California. Yeah.
37:57🔗DrewHere's the number. It's 800-422-4453. I think you may have to go through Child Protective Services to really get some going here. But it means something really substantial is going on in the home.
38:10🔗AdamAll right. Maybe. You're a good guy, Brandon. Take care of him. And Drew, let me say this. I know you always talk about wholesale abuse going on in the home front whenever there's a runaway. I agree with you, but I'm going to say a couple things.
38:28🔗DrewThere are always exceptions to everything.
38:29🔗AdamBig difference between 1213 and 1617. A, number one, this guy may be 1617. And B, number two, once in a while, and it's not often, but you run into those Janis Joplin types who aren't being physically abused, but they just got this crazy hit the road thing.
39:29🔗DrewBut then when it comes time to stop, you just stop, it's no big deal.
39:32🔗AdamAfter you become dependent on it? Absolutely. Now, Drew, why am I smarter than you when you're a doctor?
39:36🔗DrewThere were, this was first studied in Vietnam when a bunch of soldiers came back dependent on morphine and a bunch of them just stopped and their addicts kept going. The addicts have the continuation gene. That's the part of the non-addict. That's why people get...
39:50🔗DrewI can make you addicted to morphine after surgery accidentally and then the non-addict will stop. The addict will keep going.
39:56🔗AdamRight, but you could, you can find the addict gene in any family if you want to trace it back. If you're looking for it, you can find it.
40:05🔗DrewNo, it needs to be within two generations.
40:06🔗AdamIt doesn't mean that there is abuse going on in the family.
40:10🔗DrewIt means she had an alcoholic parent. That's better than that. That was abusive or not.
40:14🔗AdamListen, I know her whole, I know her whole right. It wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't a great, you know, I'm sure there were better childhoods, but she had that. I'm getting out.
40:56🔗I have a problem with my English teacher. She's one of those stereotypical type of 50 year old teachers, you know, weird and old. And my problem is that I suspect she may have something with me or for me.
41:08🔗CallerWell, you know, she's awfully nice to me. And some of the time she keeps me after class and asks rather personal questions. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
41:16🔗DrewLike what? Give me an example of one of the questions.
41:17🔗CallerWell, like, you know, for example, one day she came after class and we had like a big project doing next day. And she said, oh, what are you doing tonight? Do you need help or anything like that?
41:29🔗DrewDo you need help? The temerity. Can you imagine that? A teacher asking if you need help? Shocking. Shocking. All right.
41:38🔗CallerNo, but I mean that it's not just like regular help. I mean, sometimes when I raise my hand for her to check my paper or something like that, most of the time she puts her hand on her hand on my shoulder and well, well, she's one of those really hot types.
41:54🔗AdamAll right. Well, what then? What? How much longer you got with her? Where are we?
41:59🔗CallerThe whole year because she's an English teacher.
42:05🔗CallerHere's what I'm, well, what I, at least my choice is it's either to confront her, talk to the principal or try to avoid her. I'm saying that if I confront her, she's probably going to deny it and, you know, and then I look like a fool.
42:40🔗AdamYeah. Let me give you some options. You can talk to her. She'll deny it. You can talk to the principal and she'll deny it. And you can make things really uncomfortable and weird. So here's what you do. Just keep a low profile. Suck it up.
42:59🔗AdamOkay. And if she says, you need any help with that, you tell her, no thanks. I'm good. And you leave. And if she gets really aggressive, then you say, listen, I don't want to turn this into a scene. So let's just leave it at this. And she'll back off.
43:14🔗DrewYou pull together some witnesses to let other people sort of say, no, you don't. But listen, if there was something going on, he's 16th and 10th grade, 11th grade. You think everyone in that class wouldn't be aware of it? I mean, they'd be all over it if they'd saw even anything, a hint of something weird.
43:30🔗AdamWell, that may be still a possibility. He just misinterpreted your question. But anyway, it falls under the who cares category. And I know there's a double standard here for men and women. And yeah, there is. There's a difference between a male doing this to a female classmate, but still, or not classmate, but student. But still, I haven't gotten anything. Do you need any help? I'm putting my hand on your shoulder while I'm looking over your paper.
44:05🔗CallerWhat's up? Just kind of concerned because I was sexually molested when I was a child and I think that it's kind of stayed with me. I've tried to put it in the back and put it in the back and I've always tried to live my life not worrying about that and go on about it.
44:30🔗AdamPerfectly normal, perfectly healthy. Somebody told me I should start working that in again last night.
44:36🔗CallerBut anyway, I feel like I've always had issues in my relationships. I've had two serious relationships. Makes sense, right?
44:46🔗DrewYou've not dealt with this? You've just pushed it away?
44:48🔗CallerIt's not that. It's just I kind of don't want to live my whole life crying about something that happened. Crying over spilled milk basically. I can't do anything about it. I'm not going to live the rest of my life letting that affect me. Do you know what I mean?
45:01🔗DrewYeah, there are ways of doing it though without detaching from it the way you have and that's what you need help doing. You need some therapy for that so it doesn't affect your ability to have relationships. Now, you'll be a good old victim, you'll find abusive guys, you'll have problems with hyper or…
45:16🔗CallerNo, and to be honest with you, I've had wonderful boyfriends.
45:19🔗DrewOkay, but you'll have a tendency to be either hyper or hyposexual, too much or too little?
45:23🔗CallerYes, very much so and it's actually very hard because the relationship that I've been in now, we've been together for three years and he's 23 too so he's actually young and he's a healthy male who obviously wants a relationship where we can be close in that way and we are but it's very few times that we do.
45:45🔗CallerIt takes them a long time to get me going and I'm not saying it's not great, it's great but it's very hard for me to say, okay, let's do it.
45:57🔗AdamLook, you're bound and determined not to let this affect your life, yet it's taken over in your personal relationship. So, you get a little therapy and you work on it. If you're determined for something not to take over your life, it's like Drew was just telling me he needed a root canal, I'm going to do it for him during the commercial but you don't want your tooth to take over your life, go to the dentist. Right. Saying I'm not going to think about it and I'm not going to let it take over my life, therefore I'm not going to the dentist. Now, that's when it takes over your life. Every time you chew, it takes over your life. Yeah. So, you got to go have it, you need a nice crappy day at the dentist, maybe two and then it won't take over your life, ironically. That's right. And substitute dentist with shrink, and that's what you need to do, Renee. And we'll take a break.
47:57🔗AdamYou want to do it on a plane, you have to do it with a plastic spoon. I figured that out in the last few weeks.
48:03🔗DrewNo, it's even more bizarre. You get sometimes metal utensils but a plastic knife.
48:07🔗AdamI've had that too. No, I don't believe it hurts you unless it's infected semen.
48:15🔗DrewIt's a good way to get sexually transmitted disease. It's a way to get sexually transmitted diseases. I was up at Cal State Sacramento. This guy stood up and said that his girlfriend had been told by his mom that would give her a sore throat because she had gotten a sore throat and her mom went, You know what that's from? And I thought, Wow, what a strategy. I'm going for that with my daughter and the fact, Sarah, that semen is loaded with calories.
50:52🔗AdamThanks. No. That's enough. Hey, look, she said what she had to say. Let's just move on. She said respect and worship, right? Yeah, yeah. That's fine, right?
51:06🔗CallerOK. Well, I'm I've become really upset with you lately, though, and just the things you've been saying about Middle Eastern people.
51:13🔗AdamI know, because I've been on such a rampage last week.
51:16🔗CallerYou know, I know, you know, you've been saying you were saying earlier, like, like they keep saying the same thing on the TV, everything. And they're upset. And it seems like a lot of people are saying the same exact thing. You know, everyone's saying it. And when you were saying it, it just sounded like you were trying to say that the Middle Eastern people don't seem to really care what's happening. Or you know what? I know a lot of Middle Eastern people are really upset what happened and they're hurt by it. And they don't, you know, they don't agree with any of those, what those people say.
51:50🔗DrewLet's repeat what you actually said. Huh? He's going to repeat what he actually said, which was, they condemn what happened. Because I heard him say it too.
51:58🔗AdamAnd I never said the Middle Eastern people.
52:00🔗DrewNo, he said the clergy, the Muslim clergy, he said.
52:21🔗DrewHe said that the Muslim clergy, he saw in 60 Minutes. Each said that they universally condemn what happened. They're not supportive. It's a misappropriation of the Qur'an and whatnot. But they also qualified it as you people need to understand how you're viewed. Right.
52:48🔗CallerYou know, you were just saying that, oh, they keep saying the same thing. Like, you're all mad. Like, they don't mean it or something like that.
53:17🔗DrewTonight, yeah. Which is all he referred to. And this is what's dangerous about this situation. You can't personalize everything that's being said because we'll all end up hating each other. You have to look at things. Everyone has to be tolerant. Do you harbor any ill feelings about anyone? Really?
53:37🔗AdamListen, it's such a... It really is. I said it earlier a few weeks ago. And they brought it up again tonight. Like, do you feel that most Catholics have any relationship with the screwballs that bomb the abortion clinics? And no, you don't even count them as one of your own. And it's the same thing with the Muslim extremists who do this sort of terrorist activity. I'm aware of that.
54:05🔗DrewWhat he said, though, gave him the heebie-jeebies because there's a political piece of this that we're all trying to struggle with, which is we're perceived by a certain part of the world in a way that it's hard for us to understand. We're trying to make sense of that. And trying to do right by that, frankly. I think our government is trying to.
54:19🔗CallerThese are individual acts. These aren't one certain race.
54:22🔗DrewYeah, but what's difficult about this is that we keep hearing from people in the Middle East that there is some bad feeling about this country, and we're trying to understand why that is and what that is, and how we can make that better.
54:36🔗CallerYeah, there's a lot of people who hate America, but there's a lot of Middle Eastern people who love it, you know, and they're not the bad people that the media makes them look like most of the time.
54:49🔗AdamI think the media has been trying pretty hard not to do that.
54:53🔗CallerI agree, but some things, they, you know, sometimes they make them look really bad.
55:00🔗AdamWell, it's bound to happen, yeah, but obviously, it's going to happen. And I don't think you can avoid that, but I also would argue that they've been trying very hard to be even handed about things.
55:38🔗DrewIs it because you're worried about a draft or worried about your safety? And what does it look like to you?
55:43🔗CallerI don't know. I think I'm just worried about my safety in the world. I just worry about what's going to happen and I get sick to my stomach. I don't like want to even go out.
55:55🔗DrewWere you prone to anxiety before this all happened?
56:02🔗CallerNot so bad. I was doing pretty okay after like...
56:06🔗AdamAre you worried about people singling you out because of your race?
56:10🔗CallerWell, no, because people don't think on my race.
56:13🔗DrewBut it's an important point. A friend of mine who's one of the smartest guys I know, we were talking about trying to assess our risk and live our life accordingly and not be stupid and not also be overreactive about it. And he was talking about his worrying about having enough water. And then he said, I have to worry about being attacked by Americans. By what? He goes, I'm going to Tucson or Tempe next week. And some rednecks. He looks kind of... He just looks a little bit darker skinned.
56:39🔗AdamYeah, he's with all the gold. Yeah, he could easily be mistaken as an Arab.
56:43🔗DrewBut the point is that there are Americans that have an extra added layer of concern above the estimate. If your skin is a little darker than everybody else, it's ridiculous. Like, hey, don't get too tan.
56:51🔗AdamYeah, well, that is true. I mean, I think a lot of Arab Americans have to worry about coming from both ends. They have to worry about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, just like we do in terms of a terrorist attack. And then they got to worry about being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
57:09🔗DrewBut it's not even Arab Americans. It's like Italian Americans. I'm sorry. I'm gonna be your royal highness.
57:13🔗AdamYou're so precious. So precious. No, but I realize people are stoned and it's late and have difficulty following the show. But what I want to say is they have to worry about being in the wrong place at the wrong time and having a pickup truck full of rednecks coming after them, too, which we don't really have to worry about.
57:30🔗AdamWell, unless you fall off of the out of the pickup truck and hurt yourself.
57:33🔗DrewBut the point being, you don't have to be Middle Eastern to worry about that, you know? You could be just a little darker. That's a little darker. That's all you need.
57:41🔗AdamWell, what do you mean? Like what? Give me a nationality.
57:45🔗AdamNo, because Italian could talk his way out of it. You know, start throwing around like Paisan. You see what I'm saying? Thank you. All right, let's talk to Kelsey, who's 22. Kelsey?
57:59🔗Hi, guys. Um, please try to be a little bit patient with me.
58:23🔗Okay. My problem here is that I've been dating the same guy for about three years now. We had a very active sex life in the beginning of our relationship after we grew close. And, you know, it was pretty much like we were like rabbits. Okay? His father was killed in a car accident a couple years ago. He was a drunk driver. And ever since that, his, you know, sexual performance has pretty much been non-existent.
58:48🔗DrewSo two years of, what, erectile dysfunction?
59:20🔗DrewAll right. Well, that'll shut you down pretty good.
59:22🔗But he hasn't been on it for a while because he just honestly was pessimistic about it and said it wasn't really helping him as far as, you know, the constant obsessing thoughts that he was having already. He was really close to his father.
59:38🔗He's 23. And his mother died when he was about three or four years old, so he was really close to his father.
59:45🔗DrewAll right. But that, it also re-resurrects all that old stuff about mom too.
59:50🔗AdamBut, so you're saying, and this is going to be, it's always difficult. You're saying he does not have any erectile problems.
59:58🔗It's almost, it's more so he cannot have an orgasm, I would say, as opposed to just not being able to, you know, become aroused. He can become aroused, but it's like he's so withdrawn just so quickly. It's almost like a on-off switch, you know?
1:01:40🔗But it's like he'll get hard and then he becomes distracted.
1:01:42🔗DrewHe'll still be just as distracted, but he'll stay hard. He won't go down. And the other thing is it sounds like he really needs some treatment. He is not being properly treated, it seems to me. Here he was on Prozac for a long time. It didn't work. No one adjusted it. He was having sexual dysfunction from it. No one addressed that. He's been two years obsessing and grieving in a pathological way. He needs treatment. He's seriously depressed. And that needs to be treated. Yes, the therapy is great, but it sounds like there's something more that needs to be done here. And I suspect he's resisting it.
1:02:53🔗AdamYou understand. You understand. We asked once and it didn't get accomplished. So we're just going to have to hold for a little bit. Not even at all.
1:03:02🔗DrewYou notice that? It was the same volume in the background as before.
1:03:05🔗AdamWell, here's the fantasy. Here's the deal, everybody. When we say turn the radio down, it's not like we got tipped off or we're playing a hunch. You understand the reason. I'm going to sound like an angry Bill Cosby here. You understand the reason we tell you to turn the goddamn radio down is because we can hear the goddamn radio. So if you just say, hold on, walk over the radio and mime moving the knob and then come back, it's not like we're your parents and we say brush your teeth and you wet the toothbrush down and then put it back in the holder. We actually know it's still on for the same reason we knew it was on the first time, which is we can hear it. You guys all, now that we understand the math on that, back in the holder, we actually know it's still on for the same reason we knew it was on that, that's what we hear, which is we can hear it. Thank you. Alright Waldo, we'll give you a second chance.
1:04:25🔗CallerThere are four panels, a four cylinder class. We're circle track racers. We're NASCAR affiliated. We race for NASCAR points, just like the big boys.
1:04:32🔗AdamOpen wheel? Okay. What kind of engines you run?
1:05:23🔗AdamWaldo acts like I've been cruising the pits for the last three weeks with a notepad and a calculator.
1:05:28🔗CallerOkay, Waldo. Go ahead. He heard through the Grave Line and through the racetrack stuff, you know, the year prior to last year, back in 99, you know, that I knew a lot... I knew my stuff about the pinnows and the racing and all that other stuff. So he asked me to come on to be his crew chief for the year 2000. So I came on. This guy had never even seen a top, maybe seven in points in the last 12 years he's been racing. Okay. Last year I come on to his team. I'm his crew chief. I, you know, I work with him and stuff and I get him in the second place. We actually had first. I get him second in the NASCAR points. And so he gets this big hit on his shoulders. So then he goes, okay, well, let's go bigger, did it. And next year, which would be this year, you know, he's like, you know, can you build me a new car? And I said, yeah, so I booked him a new car, you know, and we got a good sponsor and everything. And he let me drive the old car that he drove the year prior. So I was going to go for my rookie of the year this year. We've been racing all year and it's like, all he does, again, I guess, I understand too from the track is all he's ever done is whine about everything at the track. He whines about everything. If something doesn't go his way, he whines about it.
1:06:41🔗AdamNo, wait, here's what I want to say to Waldo and everybody. At a certain point, you realize that certain people are just sort of lemons.
1:06:51🔗DrewI think he's idealized as this guy and he's a big, he's a big sort of let down.
1:06:55🔗AdamYeah, whatever it is, he's an idiot, get away from him. I mean, I know I'm simplifying it too much, but those of you who have horrible roommates, those of you who have horrible partners, those of you who have horrible pit crew chiefs and things like that, you gotta fire them or you gotta fire yourself.
1:07:13🔗DrewBut you hear the story in this, it's like, I didn't realize this guy, I built him a car, he was the guy I was working for and he's just a big whiny bastard. And it's like, yeah, that's who he is. He's not the guy you thought he was, he's the guy he is.
1:07:24🔗AdamRight, don't beat up on Waldo. No, no, no, I'm not beating up. But I'm saying that Waldo, if you're a magician with the wrench and you're not bad behind the wheel and you brought this guy from seventh to second overall, then other folks around the track must be aware of your skills if they're what you say they are. So it shouldn't be too hard for you to take on with somebody else. And let me tell you.
1:07:49🔗AdamOr for yourself, I suggest that, do not try to change this guy. Let's take ourselves a break. Drew, pretty good. I knew those things when you put down 150 horse power.
1:08:01🔗DrewRemember that one night you picked on somebody's, picked their like...
1:08:04🔗AdamProfession. Profession. Yeah, I said to this chick, your boyfriend's still going to be working at that banning cage he's at. Well maybe so, but I'm sticking with him. And I said, doesn't bother you that you didn't mention that your boyfriend was working at a banning cage? And since a lot of the folks that call in the show are more animal than human, that didn't strike her as peculiar at all. She was like, well he works at a banning cage, genius. I'm like, yeah, but...
1:08:32🔗AdamThe fact that I mentioned that he did and you never mentioned it, and that's kind of a peculiar job. Well anyway, can we get back to the question?
1:09:00🔗AdamOh, this is them, yeah. Good riff. Can't go wrong with this. I like just playing when I enter restaurants and other public places, you know. Hey, here comes Adam, everybody. I don't see him. Listen to the riff. It's got to be close. Hi, everybody. All righty. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. It's good to be back. Ready to get on the phone? Let's do it. Hey, how does this work? Everybody, please tell me if you can answer this question. Drew, you don't travel with the boys like I do, but maybe Ann can identify with this. When I travel, it seems like almost half the time I'm doing something where it would be nice to have 2 beds in the room because I got a buddy with me going to Vegas to do something. They always seem to know when you need the king bed and give you the twin beds, the two beds, and when you need the twin beds and you get the king bed and you got to bunk up with your gay buddy. See what I'm saying? I was just in New York for a week and how many beds were in my room that I stayed alone in? Two. Of course. There were two. Of course. Because I had nobody with me. If I had had a buddy come with me, then we would have spent the week on a king bed. I think I'm going to screw with him next time. I think the way to remedy this is go, so look, I'm bringing somebody with me. He's a straight male and so am I, so it's important that we have two beds in the room. In which case, and by the way, the other bed is always going to be freed up the next day. But it's just enough time for you to put your stink on your bed and unpack everything. When you got a week's worth of crap, it's like, what am I going to do? Pack it up and move down eight floors. It's just like, screw it. I'm not moving in. I got another four nights here, I'll make it. That's exactly what hams like.
1:11:11🔗AdamMr. Corolla. Oh, we're going to have a king bed that's freed up. By the way, I don't like the concept of the bed being freed up. It means some guy's whacking off on it. We got a guy beating off on it right now. Says he's going to be done by noon. He is going to mop his belly off. So let's figure three o'clock checkout.
1:11:32🔗DrewYou would like the sheets changed, yes?
1:11:34🔗AdamI'm just saying, I don't like the idea of the bed being freed up. It's a weird concept. Stayed at the Hilton. Yeah, that's rough. That's rough. Jenny?
1:12:33🔗DrewAnd somebody must have molested you. That's sort of where that comes from usually. So what happened to you?
1:12:40🔗CallerThe only thing that I can think of is when I was younger, my mom took me to the babysitter and the babysitter had an older son. And I remember that he was trying to French kiss me while I was supposed to take a nap.
1:12:54🔗DrewOkay. So we know that he was sort of out of bounds and God knows what else might have gone on.
1:12:59🔗AdamHow old were you at the time when you were being taken to the babysitter?
1:13:32🔗CallerWell, the reason why it's been bothering me lately is because I saw him about 6 months ago. And I saw him and I started thinking, I did this to this poor little child.
1:14:47🔗DrewAll right. It may be okay. I'm more concerned with you and why you would do something like that and sort of managing your own emotional life. That's more of an issue.
1:15:13🔗AdamNo. Hey, Jenny? Don't beat yourself up. I wish I had an older cousin gave me a BJ when I was young. Well, I did, but his name was Greg. Sucked.
1:15:36🔗DrewYeah, you can. But again, there's more than just that going on here. And if you want some help with that, you ought to get it.
1:15:41🔗AdamAll right. But here's the thing. You're not going to get over it by confronting this 11-year-old who doesn't remember what went on.
1:15:48🔗DrewLeave him alone. That's not going to do anything.
1:15:49🔗AdamDon't buy into that crap. And don't listen to anyone who says, look, you've got to get this off your chest. Oh, no, no, no, no. This is not some paperwork that needs to be cleared off your desk.
1:15:59🔗AdamIt is not going to work that way at all. You're going to dig yourself in deeper and freak the kid out more. The kid doesn't remember, and if he does, Mazel Tov. If I worked that in correctly, I'm trying to make up for the high holidays, the Jewish holidays. Jenny, you work in your own ass and forget about the cousin. Focus more on maybe what may have happened to you when you were being baby sad at age six. And don't beat yourself up and freak yourself out. Thank you. Sarah?
1:16:35🔗CallerUm, okay, I have a problem. I've been dating my boyfriend for three months now. And, um, I got kidnapped a couple months ago, like after I started dating him. And, uh...
1:16:52🔗DrewWhat? These people throw stuff out like, yeah, and then, you know.
1:17:26🔗CallerBut, um, and my boyfriend's parents found out about sexual activity that's going on up there between adults and minors. And they don't approve of it.
1:18:39🔗AdamWhat kind of guy is he? Is he like to drink?
1:18:42🔗CallerNo, he doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke or anything. He would, he's against it, but I've reported it many times and nobody's doing anything.
1:19:17🔗AdamYeah. Well, okay. Here's, hold on a second, Sarah. Sarah's interesting. She falls into that. She, I, I, I want to like her, but she has a little bit of that thing that they are call her suffer from, which is they act like we read the book and they're just explaining the movie to us. When in fact, we have not seen the book.
1:19:37🔗AdamShe's talking to us like, we pretty much know Sarah's scene and the scene up there in Atlanta, Idaho.
1:19:43🔗DrewYeah. Of course, the, the, the, the thing with the minors having sex with adults.
1:19:47🔗AdamWe're all well aware of that. She's filling in some of the details, but we know the basic overall plot structure. Sarah, keep in mind, we don't know anything that's going on. So you have to, you have to speak in a little, little less code. I bet if you spoke to the stepmom, she would have a totally different story about why she took these kids out of where they were. And usually when people who are kidnapping aren't arrested for kidnapping, it means they ain't kidnapping. Right. Is basically what I'm thinking. But Sarah?
1:20:37🔗DrewCan you patch up with his parents? Can you get to know them a little better? Maybe gain their confidence?
1:20:41🔗CallerWell, I've tried to get to know his mom's one who basically has a problem with it. And I've explained to her that I have nothing to do with it. Yeah.
1:20:57🔗DrewYeah, forget about I don't have anything to do. The conversation where the 15-year-old girlfriend comes up and goes, the oral sex with the 22-year-old, not me. I was around the corner at the AMPM.
1:22:02🔗AdamOkay. So here's the deal, Sarah. Let me give you the overall plan. What you're doing for your sister is great. Talk to your dad about your stepmom and what's going on with whatever those feelings are. Enlist your dad and stepmom and the powers that be, the sheriff and whatnot, and helping your 14-year-old sister find a little guidance. And as far as the parents of your boyfriend, this will sort itself out. Tell the boyfriend to work on them. I don't think Sarah is going to be a good spokesperson for this.
1:22:32🔗AdamThe boyfriend needs to explain to the, listen, mom, here's the situation over there. Here's the way I feel about Sarah. You can supervise us.
1:22:40🔗AdamShe's going to come down on the weekend.
1:22:41🔗DrewIn the house, be with the parents around.
1:22:43🔗AdamRight. Plus, I'm a dude. Would it kill you if I got a BJ? Come on, mom. You want me to go gay? Thank you. We'll take a break. We'll be back. Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah. What a head banging going on in the next room. I'm Adam. That's Drew. Good to be back.
1:23:09🔗AdamYeah. Good to be, be, have and had back. Yeah. I missed the kiddies. I forgot what I was doing. All right. Let's talk to Ryan who's 17. Oh, I don't even believe Ryan. Ryan? Hello. All right. Go ahead and convince us this is a true call.
1:23:26🔗CallerI'm going in through my, through my parents' stuff. I need to get some socks, right?
1:23:31🔗DrewHe's already a little too happy about this.
1:23:35🔗CallerAnd there's a, there's a, there's like a video in there.
1:24:12🔗CallerAnd it's, it's my parents. And I'm like, oh my God. And she's, she's on my dad. And I'm like, I can't. And I just, I'm just sitting there.
1:24:23🔗DrewI'm like... All right. Now why, what, what do you want from us?
1:24:25🔗AdamTook him 20 minutes to beat off to this, by the way.
1:24:42🔗CallerWhy are you calling us? No, I'm asking you, I'm asking you, like, how do I just... I can't really look at them now. Like, I can't, like, when I see my mom and everything, like, she tries to give me a kiss on the cheek or something. I don't, like, how, should I talk to them about this? Or should I just...
1:25:30🔗AdamThat's it. This is always the most bogus thing, because it's always like he's very upset over the whole thing. Meanwhile, he's basically doing a stand-up comedy routine.
1:26:32🔗CallerAnyway, he's been going to the school since kindergarten. He had a hard time in first grade because he had a woman there that was teaching him to yell constantly if he didn't get everything that she was teaching him.
1:26:51🔗CallerYeah. Well, anyway, let's go on from there. Now he's in third grade and he's got another teacher and the kids have a workload that I couldn't even keep up with.
1:28:12🔗AdamThey got a public school system over there where they sign no homework. Send him to one of those schools. Let him get good education.
1:28:20🔗CallerI know. We're pulling him out on Monday, but yet I'd like to find a way where I can talk to the principal of the school, which this woman has no personal...
1:28:33🔗AdamCalm down. Calm down, Drew. Hold quite down over there. Listen, Mary Poppins, I know you have difficulty with a lot of the folks that come in contact with your son. I'm sure they have some difficulty with you.
1:28:49🔗DrewTammy, Tammy, Tammy, just listen, just listen.
1:28:52🔗AdamI'm saying that as easy as it is for you to have some contempt for these people that are in your son's life, they may have that toward you maybe ten times over. At least that's the vibe I'm getting.
1:29:06🔗CallerOkay, well you have that one wrong because they usually play the game until they started really screwing with him really, really bad and that's why I wanted to talk to Drew and not you.
1:29:16🔗AdamWell, what about everyone else in the class, wise ass? How are they getting done? How are they getting through with the work?
1:29:21🔗CallerWell, let's see. My son is the only boy in the third grade class.
1:29:43🔗CallerOkay. Let me explain something to you. Also, with this school, by third grade, there's no boys in there.
1:29:50🔗DrewYeah, Tammy, here's the deal. Your son's being given-
1:29:53🔗AdamHold on a second. No boys. Well, now that's a shocking revelation.
1:29:57🔗CallerThat totally changes- What I'm trying to tell you is that the boy ratio drops by third grade. All the parents, you know, take their kids out of there. If they're boys, they're gone.
1:30:08🔗CallerBy the time they graduate from, you know, the eighth grade, because it only goes up to eighth grade, there's like maybe two boys in the eighth grade class.
1:30:16🔗AdamAll right, hold on. Listen, this Tammy, these are the people I loathe in life. They're perpetually annoyed. It's always someone else's fault. There's a big conspiracy theory.
1:30:26🔗AdamAnd the conspiracy theory is really against them, except for their child becomes them, that they leave out in the world, and it becomes a little annex to them, and it becomes a colony of them.
1:30:38🔗DrewExtension of them. And here's the sad thing. This kid's being afforded this wonderful opportunity for higher education, and she's going to sabotage the S out of that. I mean, that's the reality, is that if your kid's going to compete in a very, very competitive world of education, he's going to be working his ass off from now to at least 28, working his ass off.
1:30:59🔗DrewNo, if that's where she wants him to compete. If not, take him out. But here he has an opportunity. He may be up to it. They're not telling you that he's not up to it. They're telling you to push him along, let him do his thing, and you're going to sabotage that. So enjoy.
1:31:14🔗AdamWell, Tammy's thing is, he's being singled out, except for the whole class has to do the same workload, and what a shocking revelation that she doesn't approve of the principal who she may have to have a conversation with. I'm guessing there's not too many people in Tammy's life that she approves of.
1:31:30🔗DrewWell, not anyone that gives her anything that makes her frustrated or upset.
1:32:14🔗AdamAll right. All this week. So until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo. Like I, I, I don't know what you want me to do. Ta-da-da!
