1:19🔗VoiceoverI'm Adam Corolla. That's my good partner. Sometimes lover, Dr. Drew. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. I would be remiss if I did not mention that it is The Man Show's big premiere tonight. All new episodes of The Man Show, Comedy Central, as we speak.
1:41🔗DrewThis is the beginning of the season or this is re-entry?
1:44🔗AdamI don't know. I was talking to my carpenter guy on the way in on the cell phone and he said he was trying to watch it and it reminded me that I think the new ones are in tonight. David, turn that Man Show on and see if there's a new one on there tonight.
2:00🔗AdamThat's true. Well, you can just tell me what's happening and I can probably tell you. So Drew and I were in Tucson yesterday. We flew back today.
2:41🔗AdamIt is because I have a nasally booming voice and a real... And I espouse bizarre notions about eliminating Israel and all sorts of bizarre Hitler or Wellian designs for the country. And I know if anyone is with an earshot, they're going to want to shoot me.
3:00🔗DrewBut God bless you. Normally when you're in a situation like that, you speak kind of louder. This morning you were kind of talking like this. Well, even though you were talking about how bizarre anyone is who has a religion, Japan's even really what you were saying.
3:11🔗AdamIt's too quiet. And tell me if this doesn't anger all you people. Don't you hate it when you go to a restaurant. Now the worst thing is when they sit you right next to some guy who's just sitting there reading a novel.
3:23🔗AdamAnd he's literally, his table, I mean he's at another table, but literally the guy's three and a half, four feet from you. And if you're having a conversation with your buddy, your wife, your girlfriend, your partner, or whatever, this person might as well just be sitting at the table with you, just listening to your conversation. So I don't like that guy, but I understand it. He's lonely, wants to have some eggs, and he's got the newspaper. The thing that I don't like is the couple who won't talk to each other, who's sitting right next to your table. So you're talking and you look over at them, everyone's going to think, well, they're a couple. They got their own conversation going, they don't need to hear ours. But you realize ten minutes has gone by, not a word has been exchanged between the two. You realize, now I got two people listening. Did you notice there was a couple of couples, slightly older couples?
4:23🔗AdamYou go out to breakfast, you sit down and you just sit there for 45 minutes, you never say a word.
4:27🔗DrewYou know what, I look at a couple and I think, that is so pathetic. My girlfriend and I chat the whole time. We have a million things to talk about. We have a million things to talk about.
4:36🔗AdamHow could you do politically incorrect at the Playboy Mansion and not mention anything to me?
4:40🔗DrewHow dare you? We have a chance to do this.
4:44🔗AdamBut imagine 20 years from now the kids are all gay, they are with their partners, they have dropped out of law school and there is really not much to discuss. And there you are. So anyway, yeah, so here is the couples and like I said, I want to stand up at some point and go, hey, would you MFers have your own goddamn conversation? Stop listening to us. What are you two doing? You are just staring at each other.
5:05🔗DrewI thought you would be pleased with that. I thought everyone was listening to me.
5:11🔗DrewAnd to stop watching the man show and stop putting the drops in here.
5:14🔗AdamNo, that's fine. That's fine. So anyway, that was interesting. Then we got on the plane and we ran into this dude. The plane is packed. Drew has a difficulty getting the flight. There's a little confusion. But we end up both making it onto the plane. I walk over. I walk into the plane first because I got my ticket. And I said, Drew, I'll see if I can't get a seat together. Small plane, 50 seater, two on each side of the aisle. Right.
5:42🔗DrewAnd right then I got a seat number. I yelled out to you, 4C, I'll be in 4C. Let's see what the guy is doing in 4D.
5:48🔗AdamI go over to 4C. There's one guy sitting there. And my seat is the empty seat next to him. And I say, pardon me, sir, are you traveling alone? And he says, yes. And I say, I'm traveling with my partner. Would you mind it if I gave you my ticket? And he gave you his ticket. And we could sit together. And he said, no, no. And I sort of thought I misunderstood him. I said, so I'm traveling with my partner. And he said, no, no. There was no other discussion surrounding it. It was just, it's just, no, I don't. It was like, it was like a weird kind of adolescent things. If the guy was in his 40s, maybe 50s. No, I don't want to do that.
6:37🔗DrewYeah, it's bizarre. And so here's, I move all the time for people. I wouldn't even think about not doing it.
6:43🔗AdamYou're sitting alone on a goddamn plane. Does it matter if you're sitting three, three feet up or five feet back? It is bizarre. And then here's the other thing that, that, that steams my bean with this. One of us is going to be sitting next to the guy.
7:00🔗AdamYou really want the pissed off guy sitting next to you, who you wouldn't move for while his partner, while his girlfriend, while his wife or whatever is sitting in the back of the plane PO'd? They're not sitting together? That's the guy you're going to have next to you for the whole flight? Well, what kind of life strategy is this? And by the way, does it, does it, is there zero difference? And it's funny, Drew and I were talking before we got on the plane about our strategy with this stuff, which is, hey, if you got a chance to be a hero, I mean, if you can make someone's day.
7:53🔗AdamAnd Drew got to there and he got there with his luggage and he was trying to stuff it up in the overhead bin and there wasn't enough room up there. So Drew pulled out two blankets and a pillow and it was a small plane, so he was kind of looking for space. And there was another guy who was sitting right across there who just had an open seat next to him. No one was sitting in it. And Drew said to a guy, Hey, can I set this pillow and blanket down on this open seat to make myself some room in the overhead bin? And the guy said, No. No. It's like the weird no plane. Like you've got an empty seat next to you. You want to put a pillow and a blanket down on it? No.
8:31🔗DrewThat kind of stuff never happens to me. Do you piss people off? Is that the thing here?
8:37🔗DrewMaybe this is the deal here. Maybe when I'm with you people will take me like crazy.
8:40🔗AdamYou're right. They're jealous. They're jealous of my looks. What else could it be? What else could it be? But here's my whole thing. We're going to calls now. But this is all I want to say. I understand the no. Like I understand when I'm driving I'll cut somebody off, I'll throw them the bird, I'll do stuff and then I'll drive away thinking, oh man, oh man. But when you're going to sit next to them for the next hour and a half, two hours, I mean literally the two people that told us no were within inches of us for the next two hours. Isn't that kind of uncomfortable to have the guy you just told no, the guy you just pissed off just plopping down right next to you now?
9:20🔗AdamAn old lady got on, and just as they were closing the door, this fat old lady got on board. She was waddling all the way to the back of the plane, and she was heading right for this guy's open seat where Drew wanted to put his blanket. And she got there, and the guy had to get up and stuff, and I turned around and I went, There's your blanket, buddy. Enjoy.
9:40🔗DrewYou're a nice guy, Adam. I wonder why people treat you like crap. I don't understand.
9:45🔗DrewOh, that'll make them treat you nicer. That's good. Brad's 17. Brad, what's going on?
9:49🔗Hey, pretty much my question is like this. There's this girl at my work, and I know she likes me, or I know she's at least attracted to me, and I really like her a lot, but...
10:59🔗DrewI don't understand why people are reluctant to do what I suggest they do, which is go ahead and state your case and let them know that if they're going to break up with their boyfriend, as soon as they do, there you are. You're ready.
11:11🔗AdamYou don't have to fool anyone who likes you into anything.
11:15🔗AdamIf somebody likes you, you don't have to fool them. Guys are under the impression that I've got to figure out a way to trick this chick to liking me or trick this chick into dating me. If she ain't into you, you can't trick her.
11:39🔗DrewOh, yeah, yeah. That if you're interested, I would definitely want to go out with you, but let me know as soon as you... Here's my number. As soon as you break up with your boyfriend, I'm on.
11:50🔗AdamThey'll say what? They must say, What boyfriend? That guy?
11:52🔗DrewThat's right. He's already gone. But it's interesting that one of the colleges I visited last week came up with a question. The guys were like, Beware of the... And the women in the room were shocked. Like, What do you mean? You can tell. We'll let you know.
12:15🔗I have a question for Dr. Drew. A friend of mine recently told me that there's a high risk of a heart attack by mixing Vodko with Gatorade. I don't know if you can help me out with this, but...
12:31🔗DrewWhere did he read this or hear about this?
12:33🔗It was a she, but... He said it was in a magazine. She's a very trusting friend, so I don't think she's, you know, tracking.
12:39🔗DrewWell, I'm open. Do we have a fax machine that's working? Ann? Do we have a fax machine that works around here? What's the number? Here we go. No, don't use it? Well, that's good. Thanks for telling me we got a machine.
12:52🔗AdamWe got the Tractor Feed paper finally. It came from the former Soviet Republic. But they say there's a chance that it may catch on fire if it's activated, so it's best not to... It's not plugged in.
13:05🔗DrewReason being, I want to... If anybody knows about this, has any articles or whatever can substantiate this, I'd be willing to look at them. I can't imagine how that would be true. Neither of those things have anything in them that have anything to do really with cardiac function.
13:18🔗AdamBut Drew, you always talk about drinking that Gatorade when you're hung over.
13:46🔗DrewVodka? Maybe they're concerned about the amount of alcohol you're consuming. They're just generally trying to discourage you. And you got a fax machine for me?
15:02🔗AdamYeah, you're pulling bar. Give me a jockstrap and like a Stolley Chaser or something. All right, what's up there, Todd?
15:11🔗I think you should do the Tobias from the Man Show. I think it has a really good skit.
15:19🔗AdamThanks, buddy. Thanks. Thank you. Man Show, the psychic, Tobias. Man Show on tonight, big premiere, right? It's a new one, you think? Yeah. I don't know. Hey, I can't. All right. I'm going nuts. You know why I'm going nuts? Why? Because Damien printed on the screen what Man Show episode it was. It says, Man Show Boy Sells Beer. And I go, oh yeah, I remember that one. That was funny. And it says, Adam Gets New Shirt. And I have no idea what that means.
15:49🔗DrewIs that right, Anderson? Adam Gets New Shirt?
16:09🔗AdamIt's confusing to me. Yes. I'm distracted because of the last four calls I've been trying to process. What the hell bit that I do called Adam Gets a New Shirt?
16:18🔗DrewYour delicate sensibilities have been violated. I understand.
16:22🔗AdamIf you're making a joke, tell me you're making a joke. That's the only way I'm going to know it's funny.
16:35🔗GuestThe reason why I'm calling is because I've been married for a year and a half now, and I came from a very abused childhood, very traumatic. And my husband, I've known him for three years, but every time I look at him, he reminds me of like my mother. My mother was murdered, and he also looks similar to my brother, my biological brother. And...
17:13🔗GuestAnd so, I mean, I love my husband unconditionally, but sometimes I just look at him and I have to like close my eyes and like think of something else because he looks...
17:24🔗AdamHow old were you when your mom was murdered?
18:17🔗AdamI'm mixed, you know. I feel bad because of what happened to her mom.
18:21🔗DrewWell, but it's nice that she can form a close attachment and it's getting distorted by all this old feeling.
18:26🔗AdamWell, Stacey, just because this is what this show is now distilled down into, which is me trying to figure out if people know what I'm talking about show. Here's what we're asking, Stacey. Please don't answer until we've asked it.
18:39🔗AdamAnd maybe you don't have an answer for this, but be open to it. Is it because your husband physically looks like your mother or is it because you love him and that you feel a bond with him and that that then reminds you of your mother?
19:00🔗DrewIf he starts looking like your mother, the stronger you feel about him.
19:04🔗GuestNo, because my mother abused me horribly when I was a child.
19:36🔗AdamAnd we'll edit this chunk that we're talking about. Yeah, that goes too.
19:38🔗DrewYeah, I agree. Okay. Stacey, that may not be the greatest place to be working this kind of stuff out. The fact that you're having these feelings come up may not be a bad thing, but it could get pretty disruptive for your relationship. That's the kind of stuff really you want to work through with a therapist.
19:53🔗GuestAnd I have. I mean, I've been through years of therapy.
19:56🔗DrewThat's probably why you're able to conjure this up to the point that you are. But maybe it's time to get back in there again a little bit because you're probably, I'm guessing, speculating, that you're getting into a point in your relationship that's quite real.
20:10🔗GuestYes, because we're talking about having a child and I'm very petrified of it.
20:14🔗DrewThat's the time to revisit your therapist. It's revoking a lot of stuff. It's an opportunity for you to work.
20:19🔗AdamHey, Stacey. And look at, when's the last time you were in therapy?
20:35🔗GuestIt doesn't have anything to do with the, I don't love my husband.
20:39🔗DrewWe know, we get it. It's that the fact that you do love him conjures up the feelings of ambivalence that you had attached to your very early love attachments. That the mom who you also loved became an abusive, horrible person who abandoned you and then ultimately was killed. And love and attachment brings back those ambivalent feelings again.
21:00🔗AdamWell, and also, look, Drew needs therapy because his wacky folks, and they didn't even try to kill each other. I mean, emotionally they did, but physically no, physically no.
21:22🔗AdamAnd look at it this way, everybody, those of you who have went for a few years and declared yourself sane. Look at therapy like you look at exercise for your body. It's an ongoing thing. Nobody says, nobody says in their thirties, I ran track in high school, I don't need to go to the gym.
21:40🔗DrewRight. People do do that, but that's how they screw themselves up, in fact.
21:43🔗AdamWell, but people, people will be laughed out of the room if they got a beer gut.
21:48🔗AdamAnd they're telling you, I don't need to go to the gym because ten years ago, I ran on a cross-country team. Right. We'll kind of look at it that way. It's just kind of an ongoing thing. You don't have to be a bodybuilder. You don't have to get on the juice and move into the therapist's office, but once a week is good to break a sweat.
22:06🔗AdamWe're going to take a break. Has the man show gone to commercial yet? Yes, at commercial. Okay, we'll take another call. So, Damon, whatever your name is, is it at a commercial or not?
22:22🔗AdamAll right, now we'll go to commercial. I never played something that you guys said about Damon when we come back. Okay, good. Please do. You know why? Why? Because I don't care. We'll be back. I'm Adam. That's Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Patricia Arquette will be in here tomorrow night. Bad Religion is coming in a little later in the week. 311 will be in here.
22:53🔗AdamRobert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kiedis are going to be in here the following Monday.
23:01🔗DrewWho's coming in from another teen movie ad? I see that later that same week. Jamie Pressley and Ron Lister are our buddies. Nice. Two chicks in the same bed.
23:17🔗AdamHe needs two chicks. Alright, let's go to the phones. Wait a minute. I want to hear Anderson tempted us by saying he was going to play us something. I'm guessing horrible that we said about phone screener Damien.
24:34🔗AdamA joke, yeah. Oh, there was no punch line? Well, I told you. That's why we have to have the policy of him telling us when it's a joke now by saying, ha ha. Come on, Damien. We know we love you. But then we made a joke about him getting coffee.
24:49🔗DrewYou need to give him a job at the man show, though.
24:52🔗AdamOh, we'll see. Oh, now, because of that? Please. Rose?
24:59🔗GuestYes, I am. Hi. What's up? Well, I'll tell you my question first before I launch into the background just to save you some time. My question basically is what is my move from here? You know, you guys tell people what they should, you know, what their next healthy step would be, so that's what I'm going to say. Basically, I'm in college on a sophomore and I can't stand it. I think it's superficial and people's relationships aren't based on true compassion and caring and they're based on, you know, who's party, you know, who's department the party's at or things like that.
25:38🔗DrewWhat about, what I, you know, I hear a lot of dissatisfaction amongst women in college these days and I tell them, how about finding somebody just to date, hang out with, just start dating people, spend more time just face to face, then you'll feel less like that's just nothing you're getting. You're getting actually some time connecting with someone.
25:56🔗DrewWell, yeah, yeah, no. You could ask somebody out.
26:00🔗GuestWell, here's the thing too. My life has become like a Oprah Winfrey novel, the book club novel where there are many million depressing things in a millisecond.
26:11🔗DrewYou're getting depressed too. That's the other big thing here.
26:13🔗GuestYeah, in the last, I don't know, six months, my dad was remarried to a younger ex-alcoholic and just had a new baby at 52.
26:58🔗GuestYeah, he's my ex-boyfriend, but only of a few months.
27:02🔗AdamAll right. Listen, life's not going too great right now, right? Okay, but here's the thing. Don't turn against us beautiful people.
27:10🔗DrewHere's the thing, Rose. 18 to 20, particularly is the time when this kind of stuff really comes home to roost. If you're not negotiating the separation from all that stuff back home fully, it's really going to affect you. You need to separate. You need to establish a life for yourself. What school are you going to school?
27:48🔗AdamOkay, don't be depressed and then go ahead and be depressed, but don't get into all that weird stuff. It's always so pathetic. You know, like when the geeks are talking about, oh, these jacks, oh, he can throw a football 40 yards, and he thinks he's a better, it always makes you look like an idiot.
28:04🔗GuestNo, no, it's not that. It's like I'd rather be, you know, living in an apartment on my own. Go ahead.
28:15🔗DrewIt's okay if she were to do it, but I think you're making a decision out of an attempt to avoid some unpleasant feelings. And honestly, I think it may be a misguided decision at this point in your life. You really need to sit down and think about where you want to go and what's best for you. And if you're not able to really move along that path because you're feeling depressed, then get the depression taken care of. All I hear is you're depressed, you're depressed at a normal time for depression, and you're hung up on a lot of stuff back home that you're not able to separate from. And you know, you're in school, there's services for you there, take advantage of them.
28:44🔗AdamAnd I'm with you on that. But listen, drop out, get an apartment, get a job. Go right ahead.
28:50🔗DrewLeave your options open, though, to return.
28:52🔗AdamGet a nice, crappy, 40-hour-a-week job and get yourself a nice one bedroom with a junkie roommate. And then you'll see how depressed you are. Exactly. All right.
29:00🔗DrewRight. So that's the point. Don't run from depression.
29:03🔗AdamAll you people who are bitching in college right now, get a shovel, quit your job and start digging.
29:54🔗Yeah, I've reached a general consensus with most of my Asian friends that I know. And we basically all agree that Asian parents are almost impossible to deal with.
30:15🔗DrewChinese and Korean. How are you talking about first and second generations?
30:20🔗Mostly, I think, it's first generation coming.
30:22🔗DrewI think any cultural, particularly cultures that have really tight-knit families, let's call it. I would otherwise refer to it as intrusive families. But you come from that kind of culture and you come to this country and you're the first generation of Americans, you've got a problem on your hands. Your parents are going to feel like a pain in the ass because there's such a disconnect between what they expect of you and what the culture is actually creating.
30:47🔗AdamWell, listen, what was I saying at breakfast today, Drew?
30:50🔗AdamEvery culture needs to be thinned out. It needs to be cut. Those Middle Easterners, those Afghanis, they need some white blood over there. We've got to send some white whores over there and start thinning things out a little bit because any culture and too much concentrate doesn't work out. There is no racial bigotry here. It's like a spice eating a spoonful of curry. It's no good. It needs to be spread out with some potato. Same with the Asians. They've got to spread it out. Although I did cite them this morning as one of the cultures. It didn't need quite as much thinning as some of the other cultures. But mostly...
31:28🔗DrewIn fact, you didn't say culture. You were talking about genetics, as I recall.
31:32🔗AdamWell look at it this way. If you go into Africa, where there's no thinning, it's a mess. You go into Central and South America, where there's no thinning.
31:42🔗DrewYou don't mean thinning, you mean genetic diversity.
31:44🔗AdamI mean let's get some other colored people in there and start thinning it out.
31:52🔗AdamThin out the concentrate. Central America, South America, a mess. No thinning. And now, Southern Africa or, yeah, not Southern Africa, East Africa, a mess. The Middle East, disaster. Needs to be thinned out. The Asian cultures need a little white blood in there too. Thin it out. Not because it's better. It's got to be thinned out. It could be like water.
32:16🔗DrewSo Simon, it's I think more a function of the change in culture and they really can't make that adjustment. It really is going to be your kids that are finally able to make that adjustment, I suspect. Because you're not going to let, you're not going to do to your kids what they did to you. Of course not. Well, not of course not. You'll do some of it. You'll be surprised. Oh, no.
32:36🔗AdamNo, but the best, the best looking and the best from an attitudinal standpoint are the mix, the mix. They're just like, just like dogs. The mutts, they live the longest, they're the smartest. They just make the best dogs. The purebreds get weird. They just start, their hips go bad and they become all erotic. The same with people.
33:02🔗AdamWe'll get some Asians, we'll bring them over there.
33:04🔗DrewWhere staying, staying connected tightly to a family is what the culture is built on. This is a culture that values individuation and so you got to really work on that.
33:14🔗AdamYeah. Thin, thin everybody. Thin it out. And don't get me wrong. I'm not, I'm not saying you need white people. You just need to mix. Everything needs to mix up. Just like that big stew. Monique?
33:32🔗CallerUm, well, my fiance basically wants, he wants to lick my ass basically. And I read this whole thing about that possibly could spread like a, like disease of some sort.
33:47🔗DrewYeah, if you had some, what we call, oral fecally transmitted disease, you had stronteloides or, or, ascaris or like good stuff, yeah, you're going to get that.
34:19🔗AdamWell, let me... hold on. Let me ask Drew this. If you get hold of some fecal matter in your mouth from somebody else that is... that this person does not have hepatitis or spongelitis or anything, say cephospongelitis, is there a danger there?
34:38🔗DrewIt's an interesting question because there is danger. The bacteria that normally populate that region can cause urine infections, skin infections.
34:47🔗AdamIt would seem like you could find trouble even if there wasn't a problem with the person.
34:51🔗DrewIt's not a sterile environment by any means. And nor though is the mouth, you see. And so, you know, it's not as though it's a typical way to get some serious stuff, some very serious ass going, as you might say.
35:03🔗AdamYeah. So, he wants to shoot you that pink dart back there.
35:10🔗CallerYou know, I had to say that usually my fiance is all about, Adam, Adam, Adam. And I'm all like, I like Dr. Drew, Dr. Drew Loveline. Adam, I'm kind of like, well, I mean, both of you are on. I need, like, right now I'm like thinking, how can anything on my ass be okay to be near his mouth?
35:32🔗DrewMy, my most significant sort of feeling on this is that you don't want him to, and so that's that. Just tell him no. Or you don't want to use, he wants you to do it to him. Is he worse? Like, you don't, forget it. No, you don't have to do it.
36:09🔗CallerBut honest to God, I'm concerned that, like, you know, I know what it takes to get a health card, and I know, you know, that there's a lot of health concerns, and really, if he's going to get some sort of bad something.
36:22🔗DrewNo, I'm telling you, Monique, unless you have something to transmit.
36:39🔗CallerNo, it's like he wants to to me, but then he also wants me to do it to him. I told him, I said, you know, my biggest concern is that I plan on marrying you, spending my life with you. I don't want you to lick my ass and then die. Lick my butt.
36:54🔗DrewMonique, if this were a real comedy, I mean, people get us some weird stuff these days and there's not typically much happening as a result. You hear more about it, especially on this show. We have yet to talk about one fatality, right?
37:08🔗AdamI think, you know, like they make when a guy dies of AIDS, they say liver failure, cancer or something. I think they might do the same thing if someone actually died from eating someone's ass.
37:22🔗AdamOkay, so here's the point. What's the point?
37:25🔗DrewI lost it. Just don't do what you don't want to do.
37:27🔗AdamIf you want to do it, do it. And if you don't want to do it, don't do it.
37:31🔗DrewHey, maybe put a latex sheet down there if you want. But he's hell bent on it and she doesn't want to do it.
37:37🔗AdamBut no, she was calling, praying for a medical reason not to do it and you gave her none.
37:44🔗DrewBecause again, it's a way to get HIV. It's a way to get all kinds of good stuff.
37:48🔗AdamBut this guy doesn't have that. She doesn't have it. So there's no good medical reason for not doing it. But lines that Drew said, you could get hepatitis. Hepatitis R, by the way, invented a new hepatitis. And that way, it's not really like he could research it and they'd never find it. Now we're going to take a break. When we come back, do you want to talk to Josh? What about these two felons in love? Uh, two felons are in love. That's all I got. We'll talk to Sandy about that after this.
39:26🔗GuestAnd I was just wondering how they keep the relationship working and us not falling apart, because neither of us have a job and neither of us have a car.
40:52🔗GuestHe had no phone, no electricity, no food, nothing. He used to have by himself.
40:57🔗DrewAnd why did you kind of hang with him? Why didn't you support him? Why didn't you... I'm not saying you should have. I'm just curious. He's hanging. Why didn't you stay? It was too miserable? Was it just because no food?
41:12🔗GuestWell, because I'm on probation too, and if I don't have a job or anything, I'm going to probably have to go do some time.
41:19🔗DrewSo if they found out you had an eviction and weren't working, isn't he going to get in trouble too?
41:26🔗GuestHe's done with his probation. He just got...
41:28🔗DrewSo you had to leave because you was a lot at jeopardy for you.
41:32🔗GuestYeah, but I'm worried about him because his family...
41:35🔗DrewBut Sandy, you got to understand, we don't know all that history. You didn't give us that. So it just seemed curious. I was wondering how you felt about him, that you sort of left him. He managed to stay, but you kind of took on... Yeah, I get it. You had to because you had a real serious thing lying in the balance here. You'd go to jail.
42:40🔗GuestBut, and then I'm trying to get my parents to agree on them taking me over there one night a week and just having me spend the night until I get a job or until he finds out what he's doing. I'm trying to get him into a shelter through Department of Human Services.
42:54🔗DrewWhy don't you just get him into a shelter? Focus on that and don't worry about spending any time over there. It's too big a risk for you.
42:59🔗AdamWhy don't you get your parents to get you over there?
43:02🔗GuestBecause I don't have a car. You. And I don't have no money. I can't walk because it's like 15 minutes away.
43:25🔗GuestAnd I just don't know how to keep the relationship.
43:28🔗AdamWell, Sandy, hold on a second. You can't take a bus? You don't have any friends who could give you a lift over there?
43:34🔗GuestWell, I kind of had a situation where I kind of lost all my friends because of my drinking and my decisions I had made and everything like that.
43:49🔗AdamI don't know. I'm going to just shake Sandy like an itch of skin. First off, okay, baby, look, you're sober now. I worry a little about this guy. I worry that he's not real good for you. He's a 29-year-old guy who's living without power, food, phone, and water in a place that he's supposed to be evicted from. You're looking for a shelter for this guy. Can't this guy get a job?
44:21🔗GuestWe haven't been able to. We've been trying to, but I actually got in a car accident. I wrecked my car.
45:34🔗DrewThere's kind of big trays out in the front there.
45:36🔗AdamHey, listen, screwball. You're 21. I'm sorry for what happened to you growing up, but do not get pregnant. That's number one priority. Take control of your life. Would you please? I'm trying to.
45:50🔗DrewLet me wrap this up. Sandy, I agree not getting pregnant is priority one, so you've got to take measures to make sure that does not happen. Number two, second priority is getting your boyfriend into a shelter. You are in a structured environment. You are cared for. That's good. Don't disrupt that. Don't sacrifice yourself on behalf of this guy. Get him into a shelter. If you really want to take this a little further, start going to meetings, get yourself a sponsor, and some of the people in recovery may be able to actually even transport you and help you get your friend into a structured environment. But do not go back there. Do not let this fall apart. It will unravel if you start going back.
46:27🔗AdamOkay. Good enough. Don't get pregnant. Please. And what are we doing? What are these parole officers doing? They should have given her a Knorr plant the second she left the clink. Are you kidding me? Okay. Why don't we come back and speak to Jessica. She was sucking on her boyfriend's nipples and stuff came out. Yeah, after this. Hey, everyone, Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Patricia Arquette in here tomorrow night. Bad Religion later this week, 3-11 later this week. Early next week, Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kittes are going to be in here. And some of the cast of Not Another Teen Movie will be in here too.
47:57🔗GuestWell, I was visiting my boyfriend in San Francisco. We're different colleges. And my boyfriend likes to have his nipples like sucked and like nibbled a little bit.
48:14🔗AdamYou know, I have very sensitive nipples.
48:19🔗GuestSo anyway, I do it pretty regularly. And it's always like there's never been a problem. And I was just kind of like down there, I kind of like his nipple was between my teeth. And something came out of it. And I mean, in retrospect, I like I don't know if it was milk or anything. I was kind of shocked, you know, and it wasn't blood. It could have been like pus or something, but kind of squirted. So I mean, we were kind of freaked out. And now he like, he's like thinks that he's lactating.
48:50🔗DrewWell that might be what he's doing. Is that is he on a medication?
49:15🔗DrewWell, sometimes thyroid problems can do this. Sometimes medication can do this. Sometimes, though, pituitary tumors and that sort of thing can do it. And sometimes nothing. But it is something that needs to be evaluated. And so he needs to see a doctor and just get some basic blood tests done to see if there's anything that sort of jumps out.
49:31🔗GuestCould it be milk? Like, because I suck them pretty regularly.
49:34🔗DrewYeah. And just the irritation of you yanking on them can do it too.
49:43🔗DrewRegular doctor, go to student health services and let him check it out. It may or may not be something, but it is definitely something worth checking out.
50:06🔗Drew.irritation. These are all things that are pituitary tumors. Something needs to be checked out, or nothing. So get it checked out, all right?
50:13🔗AdamEven if it is milk, it still needs to be checked out.
50:55🔗CallerYeah. I told my mom that I was getting made fun of at school because I blew faster than anybody else did. I told her that I was going to kill myself if I didn't get a breast reduction. I had been through a whole year of just going through stuff at school and being made fun of.
51:36🔗CallerYeah, and they grew after that because they made them perfectly matching and then they grew a little bit after that. So one's a little bit bigger than the other one.
53:29🔗CallerNo, but I heard Dr. Drew or somebody on there say one day that white people can keloid, and that's how I found that out, because they did get a little puffy.
53:36🔗DrewWell, black people tend to keloid even more. Yeah, anybody can keloid, sure.
54:00🔗DrewI don't know why. Certainly, in the dark skin, you get pigment in the scars. They can be more pronounced, but I know for sure the African Americans are the ones that get their keloid.
54:07🔗AdamRight, more than, let's say, some Polynesian guy.
54:28🔗DrewAll right, so... Listen to what young males do to young women, right? At 13, you have to kill yourself just because she gets a breast development.
54:36🔗AdamI guess there may have been other issues flowing around the house. Yeah. Well, listen, at 13, when you're triple D and you're a petite person...
54:47🔗AdamBoys will be boys. And that is going to be a tough road to hoe. And okay, so now she got the scars, so now go back to a plastic surgeon and just get a consultation on removing some of those scars.
55:07🔗AdamI'll tell you, though, that not nearly as deep as the scars of her 13-year-old boyfriend at the time that had to part with those huge gants, those scars will never heal true. Josh?
56:08🔗DrewYour penis be covered. How does it ever heal?
56:12🔗CallerWell, I mean that, like, it happens often, but like not every time. They go away pretty fast.
56:24🔗DrewI think you're just irritating your skin. You're just two or three times a day, maybe a little much for you, and you're getting some sort of a dermatitis and it's opening up.
56:30🔗AdamI think he's got to break through and go six, seven times a day and get through that wall.
56:53🔗AdamNice, nice. All right, what do you say? Give it a couple of days off, see what happens?
56:57🔗DrewI'm worried he's sexual compulsive because if he is doing it so much, he's hurting himself and that's where compulsivity becomes part of the deal.
57:54🔗DrewI mean, that guy, your parents drink, sometimes they do stuff that they wouldn't otherwise do, and then you inherit that gene, and that can put a little energy behind the sexual activity.
58:04🔗AdamHey, Josh? Here's my, I'm going to give, I'm going to give a five-day plan for you and your penis, all right?
58:55🔗DrewAll right. I know. Give your penis skin a chance to heal.
58:58🔗AdamSee if you can do it and then after the third day, like on Wednesday or Thursday when it's time to go again, call us if there's a difficulty.
59:24🔗Yeah. I had sex with my girlfriend for the first time yesterday. And when I masturbated today, there was some redness, probably blood in my semen. Yeah.
59:41🔗DrewI'm just thinking it probably has nothing to do with you having had sex yesterday. Why not? Unless you were particularly vigorous or something happened.
1:00:06🔗DrewIt's usually a bloated vessel in the system there that brings the semen up front. And it's something that needs to be looked into, Mark, it really does, but it's not, it's very, very infrequently doesn't actually amount to anything.
1:00:18🔗AdamAll right, let me ask this. Should he sit with it for a little while, see how it goes, see what goes away?
1:00:25🔗DrewNo, he should see someone right away, but it's not likely to be anything.
1:00:28🔗AdamWhat if he beats off tomorrow and it's nothing?
1:00:31🔗DrewIt's one of these things that when you see blood in something, you have to get it checked out, basically.
1:00:35🔗AdamI had blood in my urine, no one told me to do it.
1:00:44🔗AdamI didn't have insurance, so they told me not to worry about it. When you don't have insurance, they tell you not to worry about it. They said it was like you had probably punched in the kidney or liver or from bouncing up and down too much.
1:00:58🔗DrewThere is such a thing, but it's pretty rare. I think they would conclude that it's just bizarre.
1:01:04🔗AdamWell, like I said, I was teaching boxing and I didn't have insurance, so they just said...
1:01:09🔗DrewHad you taken a body shot or something?
1:01:10🔗AdamProbably. I'm sure at some point. It was... It was... Coffee told us. Dr. Coffee told me to do that.
1:01:24🔗AdamShe's the same one. When I showed her the giant ganglion cyst I had in my palm, she said that I hid it with a Bible. I said, I'm an atheist. She said, I hid it with the dictionary. Hey, yes, Steve? Hey. Hey, hold on a second. You know how I finally did pop that big cyst that was in my palm?
1:01:45🔗DrewI put a big needle in it. I just found it.
1:01:46🔗AdamWell, you put a big needle in it, but you know how I popped it two years before that?
1:01:50🔗AdamNo. Playing basketball against some midgets. Full court, got on a fast break, had an easy layup, god damn midget pushed me in the back. Mate, anyone who plays basketball with midgets, they cheat. Guy pushed me right in the back. I was running full speed down the court, you know, just getting to lay it up, and the guy just flagrantly fouled me, and I went flying into the wall behind the thing and slapped my palm against it.
1:02:23🔗AdamIt didn't take long to reform. No, it wasn't a couple weeks. Wow. I mean, it started right on back. It was sore as hell. Steve? Sorry, buddy. I had to tell a midget story.
1:02:50🔗CallerI basically almost had my life here, so. I really want to thank you because I went through a real so subtle time about a year and a half ago.
1:03:05🔗CallerMy dad was like, you know, I mean, he was a little physical abusive, but not to the extent of, you know, a lot of stories here, but, you know, it was enough for me to really notice.
1:03:16🔗AdamDid this show help you at all when you were that way?
1:03:18🔗CallerOh, yeah, definitely. How? You guys, I mean, the whole pushing with the therapy, and just so many things like that, I mean.
1:03:27🔗AdamOh, me telling the fart jokes and stuff, huh? There you go. Thank you.
1:03:34🔗CallerYou know, I realized I was gay about a year or so ago, and I didn't take it really badly, you know, like really confused and all that stuff, but I'm really wondering where I can find out, around Chicago area, where I can find out, you know, where to find places to meet other people and stuff.
1:03:50🔗DrewI would start with the Gay and Lesbian Youth Center. They're usually a big city like Chicago, have probably several of them.
1:03:55🔗AdamThere's a bar outside Chicago called the Mail Sack.
1:03:58🔗DrewYeah, you need to go somewhere where there are people that are sort of real supportive and available to you. You don't want to go somewhere just to hook up.
1:04:17🔗CallerWould you know any places by any chance, like a place I could find out where?
1:04:21🔗DrewWell, do we have the, can we have that book down there? The numbers are down at the bottom here. Let's see if we have anything in our references. I don't think we do, but look down here.
1:04:32🔗AdamOh, Jesus, Steve, you know, you're making me move laterally. You know how difficult that can be for me. See, you sound, and Drew, I, Drew, you'll agree with this just by nodding your head, but he sounds like a very mature 14 year old.
1:05:21🔗AdamDon't we have any young gay phone numbers?
1:05:24🔗DrewWell, here's a, this thing called Horizons, and it says gay and lesbian.
1:05:27🔗CallerYeah, I heard my therapist told me about that.
1:05:29🔗DrewAll right, it's 773-929-4357. Now, we have not specifically checked all these places out, so be very cautious. These are coming to us referred, we haven't specifically checked them out.
1:06:04🔗CallerWell, I was raised about a year ago, and I found out about six weeks after that, I started to get some, like, bumps, and I thought I had HPV, but I went to the doctor and they said that I had the molluscum contagiosum.
1:07:01🔗AdamTake a break. Sandy was raped by her best friend's fiance. When she passed out on the sofa, she thinks she may have a venereal disease, or does have a venereal disease, but not a real good one. The molluscum contagion is not too bad.
1:07:17🔗AdamAnd we'll take that after this. Howdy, y'all. I'm Adam, sometimes affectionately known by Ace. Oh, yes. And Dr. Drew over there, out on the road in Tucson this week, got some positive feedback on Ace Rockolla.
1:07:53🔗AdamI said, that's all I need. All I need is one person telling me it was good and that dude just bought another three years of it. No, I'm too tired of it.
1:08:06🔗DrewAnd when somebody comes and says it's bad, you're like, I don't hear it. I don't care. I don't care.
1:08:13🔗DrewDo I? Do you have that on tape? And I don't care?
1:08:15🔗AdamOkay. Kiss my ass, you idiot. It's Loveline. We were, Patricia Arquette coming in here tomorrow night. And when we left off, we were, are you still married to Nick Cage? No. Shocking. They will ask her about that. They were together for a while. Good eight or ten years. I don't trust that Nick Cage because he's a passionate man.
1:08:45🔗DrewHe's bisexual. And I worked out with a trainer to get the look of each of his characters. I mean, the one that's always saying stuff like that. It drives you crazy.
1:08:54🔗AdamYeah. He's getting into his role. Like Gone in 60 Seconds where he's got 24 hours to steal 51 of the most exotic cars. Three of them prototypes have not been made yet. We need to get a hovercraft, an amphibious craft, a Bradley fighting vehicle. We need a 69 Lamborghini Miura. We need it. Yeah. I'll get them all. You know why? Why did we come to you?
1:09:24🔗DrewBecause you're the best. You're the best. You play by your own rules.
1:09:30🔗AdamYou're the best. Let me just float one quick question.
1:09:34🔗DrewMaybe they start with, I like you, man. Come see me. I've got a job for you to do.
1:09:39🔗AdamOne quick question. Just let me pose this hypothetical to people. When you start the movie off with you contacting a guy who's either just out of prison or paroled and going straight and label him, you say you need him to do this job because he's the best. Now, I'm not a criminal, but doesn't part of being the best include not getting caught?
1:10:40🔗AdamCan't think of it, but it is a great, bad name.
1:10:44🔗DrewThe guy, we did have some responses on the website about the gatorade in vodka. People are thinking that perhaps he was referring to Red Bull in vodka, which that does start to make sense to me. There could be something potentially problematic, all those stimulants and what not mixed in with alcohol. That's not a good mix. Generally, stimulants with alcohol are thought to cause a more cardiotoxic compound, but those are specific to the specific stimulants. Like cocaine is formed into something called cocaethylene. That tends to be more cardiac problems associated with that than pure cocaine.
1:11:17🔗AdamHey Anderson, is that heart attack from animal house? Are you aware? I do know. That heart attack sound effect.
1:11:51🔗DrewAnd did you, how soon before you notified the authorities?
1:11:56🔗CallerWell, I went to my dad when I found out what had happened to me and they took me to the hospital and they notified the authorities. Good. Perfect. Was it up to you? I was really afraid at the time and I was really confused.
1:12:13🔗AdamWhere is this guy still with this friend of yours?
1:12:16🔗CallerYeah, they're still together. Yeah, well she and I were both raised in an alcoholic family by abusive fathers and everything so it didn't surprise me that she stayed with him but...
1:12:30🔗CallerIt was my stepfather that raised me. And I don't speak to my mother or my stepfather anymore. And we're curious why your dad stepped in and sort of did the right thing and now it all makes sense. It wasn't my dad, it was actually my stepmother who used to be a rape crisis counselor which is why I went to her in the first place because I didn't want to go to the hospital but there was some damage to my body and I wanted to make sure that I was okay.
1:13:11🔗CallerI don't know. I'd kind of rather have woken up and known what happened to me.
1:13:17🔗AdamWell, no, maybe she could have got out of that. Yeah. Well, so hold on a second. You drank so much, you were just completely just gone.
1:13:28🔗CallerYou know, that's what I thought for a long time, but after I've talked to my dad about it a whole lot because he couldn't understand how I didn't wake up.
1:14:14🔗DrewIt helps build your case though if you've finished, you know.
1:14:17🔗AdamBut by the way, that may not be them, that may be the ACLU. Right. Saying that you cannot test somebody for drugs unless they specifically request it.
1:14:28🔗CallerThey could at least offer it to you.
1:14:31🔗AdamYeah, but like I said, I would blame the ACLU on that more than blame the hospitals. But because they're doing a forensic exam trying to bring up criminal charges.
1:14:42🔗AdamWhy wouldn't they? But okay, so a couple of, do they really think this guy put something in you? I mean, other than being, you know, I mean, if his penis is there and he's violent about it, that could certainly do some damage.
1:14:56🔗CallerHe said that that was the tearing but I had actual cuts. They said there were some like deep fingernail type cuts. They couldn't identify some of them.
1:15:15🔗AdamAnd does your friend know all of this?
1:15:19🔗CallerShe actually, I was at their house for quite a while after I figured out what had happened to me because I was just kind of in shock and I went to her because she was my best friend and we sat in the bathroom for a long while and I have a feeling she might have known he was going to do it because the first thing she did was put me in a bathtub and now that I think about it that's a little weird.
1:15:39🔗DrewOr maybe it had happened to her with him.
1:15:41🔗CallerYeah, well she told me that he has done things like that to her before that she had woken up to him having sex with her.
1:15:47🔗AdamWell, now as far as the authorities go, this has been a year. Don't they want to move on this a little bit?
1:15:55🔗CallerThe police, and this happened in San Diego, and the police there actually are being incredibly uncooperative. He left where they were living and they said, oh, we can't find him, but my dad hired a private investigator that found them in a day and a half.
1:16:10🔗AdamWow. Well, let me tell you something about the cops. They have unlimited resources and energy. If you owe them money for any kind of moving violation, warrants or parking or anything like that. But if they ever have to go after somebody that doesn't owe them money, they become they become monkeys. They have they become they're NASA geniuses with a supercomputer. If you owe them money and they become monkeys with like a wooden abacus.
1:16:37🔗CallerWell, my detective on my case basically told me she's asked me a number of times if I'm sure if I didn't consent.
1:16:43🔗CallerAnd then she's also told me a number of times not to get my hopes up because all he has to do is get an attorney who will say it's my word against his and that I'm into rough sex.
1:16:52🔗AdamYeah, but I'll bet you that this guy has some prior.
1:16:56🔗DrewYeah, you can get a little history of something.
1:16:59🔗CallerWell, and that's the other thing she tells me is that I shouldn't think it's a waste even if I can't prosecute him because when he rapes somebody again they'll have the evidence on me which I think is full because why should I be waiting around for somebody else?
1:17:12🔗AdamWell, but listen, listen, no, there's two things. There's a few things. One is, yes, it's not that satisfying. But two is, it's what choice you have at a certain point.
1:17:24🔗DrewYeah, it's the way it's going to play out.
1:17:27🔗AdamAnd there may be something that is on this guy already. Obviously, they look into that.
1:17:33🔗DrewSomebody may have done what you're doing already and that's how you're going to be able to carry your case out.
1:17:37🔗CallerYeah, well, when my dad got the private investigator they found out that he has a bunch of different social security numbers linked to his name and a couple of other things, so I don't know.
1:17:47🔗AdamAre you still in touch with this best friend of yours?
1:17:53🔗CallerShe called me about a week after it happened and asked me if I was okay and asked me if I was going to press charges in the time I wasn't going to and I said no. But I decided about two and a half months after that after I got some therapies that I wanted to.
1:18:09🔗AdamWell, I'm sorry this happened but, you know, your sound, it almost as if it was a beginning of some healing for you, some help for you.
1:18:20🔗DrewOh, my God. But you know, you've had a lot of hard stuff you've gone through that is sort of spearheaded by what's happened here. This is because it's kind of come together around this event.
1:18:30🔗CallerBut you know, that stuff is dealable because, you know, what happens when you're a child is very different than what happens when you're an adult.
1:19:02🔗AdamDo you want to be raped? I have no recollection of it either. Molluscum contagiosus or whatever the hell you got there.
1:19:13🔗CallerThis is the thing. Here's why I'm worried. I know that my former best friend has HPV. That was my first concern when I got my head together enough to worry about it, was that I had contracted HPV and then I got these bumps and I convinced myself that I had HPV. I'm a college student, so I went to Student Health and they told me that it was, she just looked at it and said, oh, it's molluscum.
1:19:37🔗DrewMolluscum is easy to diagnose, but you should, and it's treatable, just have them burned off or take it off, scraped off. They tend not to be contagious when you don't have the actual little zits there that are caused, that we call molluscum contagiosum. But I would still consider yourself at very high risk for the wart virus, for the papillomavirus, and get at least, I would say, biannual pelvic exams twice a year.
1:19:57🔗AdamAll right. And Nicholas Cage's character name, Memphis Reigns.
1:20:05🔗AdamMemphis Reigns. And you know why they needed him to steal these cards? Because you're the best, Memphis. You're the best and you know it. No one else could pull this job off. No one but you, who had been busted for doing this before, or successfully prosecuted. Now, you're the best. And Angelina Jolie, her name was like Wheels or something.
1:21:12🔗CallerWell, I dated him for about four months. And then my friend Deborah, my best friend, has been my friend for like seven years. About a month after I broke up with him, she broke away from me. And what I'm wondering is because Eric, when he seemingly out of the blue, he just, because I was away at a...
1:21:38🔗AdamPlease, please work in another number, please.
1:21:43🔗DrewWhy just, what, just to stay with this.
1:21:45🔗AdamListen, listen, you got to understand everybody. If you go, it's like if I go, here's my phone number, I want you to go, 213.
1:21:55🔗AdamNo, no, 310. No, no, no, no, hold on. 818. No, no. No, 714. After a while, you shut down, you had to start swimming. I don't know if you're with this guy six months ago or if you're with him for six months or you broke up three years ago. Here's the deal. What's the question?
1:22:14🔗CallerBoth of them pointed out certain qualities in me, like I'm insensitive and mean and stuff when they broke away from me. And I don't know if I should try to figure out what's wrong with me and change that or just look for someone, friends and dating, who are more like me.
1:22:35🔗DrewI'm also insensitive and mean, you mean? Yeah.
1:22:38🔗GuestBecause Eric, he said that I treated him like crap and stuff like that.
1:22:44🔗CallerAnd he had never said anything remotely like that up until the point when he just exploded.
1:22:51🔗DrewWell, but the kind of person that would take a lot of crap from someone might not be able to tell you about it until they become rageful. And in fact, that kind of person often gets involved with people that dump a lot of crap on them.
1:23:05🔗AdamAnd by the way, Eric, 5'9, 1'63, born at 3'28, 81. Go ahead.
1:23:32🔗CallerYeah, I mean, I would... I go to church, except that my parents... My mother is the only one in my family that can drive because my father just can't. But, um...
1:23:42🔗DrewWhat do you... Well, now you expect us to let that just go by.
1:23:46🔗GuestUm, because when he was in college, he got...
1:23:49🔗CallerWell, he always had really bad eyesight, but when he was in college, he got beat up by a gang, which really just wrecked his eyesight, so now he can't drive.
1:24:04🔗AdamRight. At college age. Hi, Penny. It's hard to tell when you're 16 if people, what they say about you is true, or they're just being mean and vindictive about it. But, any way you slice it, you might as well work on just being as good a person as you can be, and as nice and as thoughtful as you can be.
1:24:25🔗DrewWhy wouldn't you want to work on yourself?
1:24:29🔗CallerBecause also, with their brother, the other thing was before a month, well, no, a couple of weeks before that, she had a little problem with what she was telling me. I was being mean and stuff, so I worked on it, and I tried to be nice and everything, and then she seemed to be good with it.
1:24:49🔗AdamLook, I've known Penny all four minutes. She sounds delightful. And how mean can someone named Penny be? Think about that. Any truly evil people other than Penny Marshall named Penny?
1:25:06🔗DrewMaybe she was being mean by driving them crazy with her tangential ramblings.
1:25:13🔗AdamThat's good. Yeah, I did get angry halfway into that.
1:25:16🔗DrewThey begged her to stop and she wouldn't.
1:25:17🔗AdamShe kept throwing numbers at them. All right, Penny, you're a good person.
1:25:23🔗DrewListen, wouldn't our advice always be the one variable you can change in life?
1:25:28🔗DrewNo, yourself. It's nothing you actually can work on. If somebody is giving you some information, assess it, incorporate it, look at it, go ahead and work on it.
1:25:35🔗AdamThat's right. We'll be back. Hey, yo, yeah, uber stank. I like that riff. All right, Drew, let's buckle up them safety belts and rock on down the lane.
1:26:02🔗CallerHi, guys. How are you doing? Good, John. I was inspired to call tonight because I'm 21. In high school, I was diagnosed with depression and it got to the point where I almost committed suicide but have a great family, so I told them, so I went to a hospital. Since then, in my first year of college, I actually got over the depression, went off the medications, and everything has been fine. And recently, for no real apparent reason, the depression started up again. And extremely recently, the past couple of weeks, it's gotten kind of out of control where I'm having destructive thoughts again. And not acting on them, and not planning or anything, but having the destructive thoughts.
1:26:55🔗DrewWith depression, this is more often the case than not, that it recurs. So absolutely, you've got to get back on the medication that worked for you, get back in touch with the team that was taking care of you. You weren't doing drugs or alcohol that helped precipitate this at all, John?
1:27:11🔗CallerNo, I never used drugs, but alcohol is an occasional use, but I don't get out of control.
1:27:17🔗DrewAlright, listen, there's a great organization called the National Depressive and Manic Depressive Association. I don't have the right time.
1:27:24🔗DrewYou can get on the web though at ndmda.org. They've got tons of resources, the Patient Advocacy Group, lots of stuff about depression and medication and how to work with your doctors on it. But it is something you need to get back on, medication.
1:27:49🔗CallerNo. I guess I should back you up with the story first.
1:27:53🔗DrewLet's just answer the question. Absolutely. It tends to be you become a victim and victimizers seem to know that somehow and they find you.
1:28:00🔗AdamOh, yeah. But also if you are molested, you will molest others.
1:28:12🔗CallerWell, no one molested... Well, my ex-fiance, I believe he was molested as a child. And I just found out recently that he was going around showing himself to people, not a specific age group.
1:28:32🔗DrewI like how she describes this. It makes it seem almost like...
1:29:00🔗CallerAnd yeah, he was a shock to me too. And he came up to me and said, are you Amanda? And I was like, yeah. And then he said, well, I got some news for you. And he just told me that my ex-fiancée was showing himself to people.
1:30:45🔗AdamBecause this guy is a, God knows what kind of guy. You guys are too young. You shouldn't be having kids. Don't get reconnected with this guy. This is a great way to make a clean break. Well, it could be better. He's in prison. Yeah. Awaiting his fate. You move on. I know you're depressed.
1:31:05🔗DrewCodependent. I know you read a book called Codependent No More, or The Road Less Traveled. One of those two books, right?
1:31:16🔗AdamAll righty. I want to thank you all for tuning in tonight. Thank you tomorrow for Trishard Cattle being here. We had her on the TV a while ago. I can't remember if she's been in here since I've been here.
1:31:28🔗DrewNo, I don't think so. I remember the stories about her having worked at Pasadena Planned Parenthood.
1:31:32🔗AdamThat's right. She's a very interesting person. So we'll talk there. Bad Religion 311, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Kittas, Ron Lester, and some other cast members, Jamie Presley.
1:31:46🔗DrewJamie's like exploding all of a sudden, right?
1:31:49🔗AdamYeah, she's been going pretty good for a few years. All from Not Another Teen Movie. All those guests that are coming up in the next few weeks here on Loveline. So until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
