1:01🔗VoiceoverListener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Loveline, Coast to Coast.
1:13🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. It's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, Board Certified Physician and Addiction Medicine Specialist. Patricia Arquette is our guest tonight. Patricia is a fine, fine actress.
1:30🔗Patricia ArquetteOh, thank you, ladies and gents.
2:05🔗AdamI said David was crazy, and David walked through this door that I'm pointing at here less than four minutes after I announced it on the air, and he had no intention of coming in. He was not booked to come in. We had not seen him in many months. It was as if you just shouted a name into the microphone, and that person then appeared at the door. Cary Grant. Yes. All right.
2:35🔗AdamPatricia is here to, I mean, you got some movies coming out. We can talk about all that, but mainly to talk about landmines.
2:44🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah, landmines and also a little bit about discrimination because I've been working with the LA County Commission on Human Relations Against Discrimination because there's been a lot of that since the 11th and...
2:54🔗AdamI'm not sure about the blacks. Oh, you know what I was thinking today, though?
3:03🔗AdamI was just, it jumped into my head while I was watching TV. I think, I don't think black people have bad breath. That's not a bad thing to say about a culture, is it? I don't know why it just popped into my head.
3:14🔗Patricia ArquetteI just like to assume that all people with good oral hygiene have good breath.
3:18🔗AdamWell, I was thinking, because I ate like two cloves of garlic tonight with dinner, and I thought I was going to have bad breath.
3:23🔗Patricia ArquetteHe's got issues with himself, he's projecting onto other people.
3:27🔗DrewHe just thinks about himself all the time.
3:29🔗AdamI was watching Monday Night Football, and this black guy was jumping on top of this other guy, yelling at him, and I thought, I never met any black guys with bad breath, and I don't think that's a bad thought. I think that's a good thought, right?
3:40🔗Patricia ArquetteI don't know that any thoughts are bad thoughts.
3:49🔗DrewYou have nothing to worry about with Adam. He's way too lazy.
3:51🔗AdamWay too lazy to do anything with my thoughts ever. People say to me all the time, why don't you write a book? Why don't you come out of the county? I go, are you kidding? I'd have to get up. So I'm not doing anything with my thoughts, but tell me about your thoughts on the landmines, and then we'll get into the discrimination.
4:06🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, I was invited the other night to this person's house, and they spoke about landmines, and it was just horrifying. I wanted to talk a little bit about what's been going on. Right now, there's tomorrow, and the third and the fourth, they're having this time for people to call in to the White House switchboard, which I'll give the number later or the website number.
4:29🔗DrewIt's the third today, right? So today and tomorrow only?
4:31🔗Patricia ArquetteRight, but maybe the next day too, because today it's been so busy, people have been calling in. So, what's going on right now is George Bush is sort of on the edge of repealing, coming forward with the West of the World and supporting a ban on landmines, even though Clinton was sort of moving towards that very slowly. And when Clinton was in office, like General Schwarzkopf and all these really important generals wrote letters saying, look, it doesn't help our troops. It's an ineffective mode of weaponry. Right now on the ground, there's 80 million landmines already laid in the ground.
5:09🔗Patricia ArquetteIf you planted a landmine today, it might not explode. The war that you're fighting will end in a couple years, but your grandson could step on that landmine and lose his leg. So already there's 80 million time bombs in the ground.
5:25🔗DrewAre most of them in a particular area, like Southeast Asia or something?
5:28🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, Afghanistan is one of the most heavily mined areas.
5:45🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah, a lot by Russians. But the whole Northern Hemisphere is against landmines. Northern, or what? Yeah, the Northern Hemisphere, except for the United States and Cuba.
5:59🔗AdamRight. Yeah. Well, I don't under, I mean, you know, as far as landmines for taking out personnel, that just seems like a lot of work to get a guy. You know, I mean, I understand mines to take out equipment, tanks, you know, that kind of stuff. But most of the mines we're talking about are personnel mines. Right.
6:19🔗AdamAnd inevitably, the people that step on them are just kids running out in the field. I mean, I don't know what percentage of landmines find their intended target. I guess, I'm guessing it's way, way down.
6:28🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, like UNICEF said that 30 or 40 percent of the mine victims are children under 15. So then they can't get, you know, these people are so poor that maybe they have one cow. So, they can't have cows walk through minefields. That's their whole survival. And they can't get fitted for prosthetic limbs because they're growing and changing. And they don't even have those prosthetics over there. So, in these countries like Afghanistan where women are not allowed to work, even with this Northern, you know, alliance. Well, at this point, you know, they have to go out and look for wood and scrap around. And they're getting their legs blown off. And all they can hope is to marry someone. And nobody wants to marry them when they don't have limbs.
7:16🔗AdamI'm going to watch the house. I'm going out for a long weekend. But yes, I know this is a horrible. I'm sure I said to Drew last night, this whole landline thing would be a bizarre thing to explain to somebody from a different planet. You know, we bury these explosives, then no one steps on them, then the war ends, then ten years goes by, then some kid who wasn't even born at the time they planted the landmine is walking out on the dirt and it blows his foot off or his leg off.
7:42🔗DrewWe have so much other technology. Why couldn't we make these become obsolete in a year, two years, three years?
7:47🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, we can. That's why all these other countries sign this thing.
7:51🔗DrewBut even if they don't want to get rid of landmines, why not have them lease landmines that decay in a year?
7:56🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, that's what they have this thing called smart bombs. And even all the generals and everyone else said, well, we can't put that in the treaty because those are so expensive to make. And even so, there's no real smart bomb. They can't distinguish between a soldier's foot and a child's foot. They just can't. But they sort of die off in their own amount of time. But the problem is, only rich countries can afford that. Right now, in NATO, everyone else has signed it except the United States and Turkey.
8:26🔗AdamYeah, you know, I don't understand why. I would like to hear our side of this, because it seems like we need this the least. I mean, as a nation.
8:36🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, that's why I thought it was interesting that all these generals, like Schwarzkopf, came out and said, we don't need this, and it's actually dangerous for we don't... for our own soldiers to go into these countries. I mean, right now, we don't know what's going to happen the next six months or a year in Afghanistan. We don't know what's going to happen with the Northern Alliance. And right now, there's 724 million square meters of land that are mined in Afghanistan. And I personally don't feel comfortable sending our soldiers out on the ground into that.
9:04🔗AdamI know, and it's such a... it's a saddest thing in the world when you see these kids in these third world nations. They're missing their leg. They don't have... I mean, even under the best situation where you have money and you have prosthetics and you have doctors, it's still a bitch to lose your leg, I would imagine. But imagine when you don't have these kind of facilities.
9:25🔗Patricia ArquetteAnd if you look at the fact that 50% of the world's never made a phone call.
10:04🔗AdamI would rather step on a landmine than make another phone call. All right. So, look, landmine's bad. Let's call the White House.
10:12🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah. And I wanted to talk to kids about this because when we were young, we were little punk rockers, and people were interested in the Contras, and people were interested in Sandinistas. And, you know, when you're young, you have all this energy, and what do you do with it? And you sit around, and you cause trouble. Well, instead, sort of figure out, who do you want to grow into? Who do you want to become? Start becoming active. Use your, use all this energy. Harness it in some kind of way where you could start growing. Start becoming the person you want to be. Start asking questions because the country that we're making now is going to be their country in a few years. We have to be active. We have to ask things. We have to become aware.
10:48🔗AdamAll right. I agree with all of you. Now go to your room. Call a time out for Patricia. Let's take some phone calls. We'll talk about some upcoming movies, Patricia, as one with Spike Jonze and one opposite Billy Bob Thornton, who's turning into quite a fine actor, I might say.
11:15🔗CallerMy brother, he's 18, and he got his girl from pregnant. And she wants to have an abortion and he doesn't. And she's just being totally irrational, wanting to talk to him, wanting to acknowledge he doesn't exist any longer. And they had a good relationship and everything, so it's not like, you know, he did anything to her. He's really a sweet guy. And I was wondering if there's any possible way, like, legally, or where he can prevent this from happening. Because he's willing to take, you know, take the child and my parents are very supportive and, you know, let her walk away from the whole thing. But his whole thing is he wants to have this kid, he doesn't believe in abortion, and she won't have anything to do with that discussion.
12:00🔗DrewSo I think the way these laws are designed, again, I'm no expert in this, and we might want to get some calls from attorneys, but the child is considered part of her body, and it becomes her decision exclusively.
12:13🔗Patricia ArquetteRight. This is like a really sad situation, and I've spoken to several men who are grown up and really lament the fact that this woman they were with wouldn't and went on to have an abortion and mourn that the rest of their lives. So I think that's a good argument to use condoms, you know? If you feel a certain way, I mean, I know it's too late in this circumstance, but whoever's listening out there, you know, you gotta talk with your partner before you have sex about what you think about pregnancy and using contraception.
12:43🔗AdamWell here's the deal, Laura. If this guy had a bunch of money and a bunch of attorneys, he could probably do something here. Possibly.
13:30🔗AdamBut did you look at it? Did you draw on your acting abilities, I mean, to communicate, to present, as it were?
13:39🔗Patricia ArquetteIt probably actually made me better in my presenting abilities, because I was really shy. And I'd go and talk to kids, and I'd say, okay, then the baby's born, and you... I'm supposed to say, you know, the doctor cuts the umbilical cord, but instead I'm dyslexic, so I'd say, the doctor cuts the spinal cord, and I'd get these looks around the room, and a kid would raise his hand like, um, why would the doctor cut this spinal cord?
14:02🔗AdamOur listeners would have no problem with that statement, by the way.
14:12🔗AdamAnd finally, Delora, just, I don't know, leave your... I don't know, don't get so involved with your brother's life. It's sad, but don't make it your cross to bear. He's an 18-year-old guy, got himself in a little trouble. She's going to clean it up, and don't you go getting into it with her.
14:28🔗DrewEgypt has 23 million landmines. We never hear about anything going wrong with that in Egypt.
14:34🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, that's just not what we're talking about. When we're talking about the Lakers, we're going to talk about, you know, something like that.
14:39🔗DrewBut I mean, when people go to Egypt, you don't hear... the tourist organizations don't say, be careful of landmines. Is there certain areas that people just don't go and that's mined or...
14:47🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, I'm sure that the pyramids aren't mined, you know, but there's millions of acres of places where people don't. I mean, most of these landmines are in little villages. We're still demining, you know, and will be for years and years in Vietnam, mines that we laid there. Like I said, a third of our own casualties in Vietnam, of our own soldiers who died were from landmines. But there were some companies that they wrote to, like Motorola, who they said, look, you guys are making something that goes in landmines and at least, you know, do the thing of conscience and stop making these. And Motorola said they would stop making them.
15:35🔗CallerHi, I'm Big Founding Guy. And Patricia as well. Thanks. And I've got a question. It's probably really stupid, but I've been on the depot shot for 10 months and I haven't gotten my period.
15:51🔗DrewWell, you're not going to as long as you're on the shot.
16:01🔗CallerWell, he did, but I wasn't sure because I thought that no matter what birth control you were on, you would bleed.
16:07🔗DrewNo, no. Depo, you can lose your period. Typically do.
16:12🔗CallerIs it going to affect me in the future?
16:15🔗DrewNo. In fact, some gynecologists are advocating that the birth control bill be taken without cycling. You just take it continuously and not bleed at all.
16:23🔗CallerReally? Yeah, because I take it every 12 weeks without fail.
16:27🔗AdamDrew, what is this going to do to the tampon companies? Well, think about that.
16:32🔗DrewThey're going to start building landmines. Yeah.
16:58🔗AdamI'm worried about tampon and pad companies.
17:01🔗DrewWell, they do other things. There's a big company. It's called Playtex.
17:04🔗Patricia ArquetteI'm more worried about, you know, so many young kids now are coming down with AIDS because, I mean, if kids start turning to this as their only form of birth control, World AIDS Day was, I guess, on the first. And they're saying, like, the highest percentage, the highest group of people who are now getting AIDS are black males, 25 to 18.
18:12🔗CallerGot kind of a dilemma here. It's not really a dilemma. Anyway, me and my girlfriend have sex on a regular basis, four or less three times a day. And it doesn't matter how much we have sex. She totally tightens up like a virgin like the next time we have sex. And of course, that affects my stamina. And I'm wondering if there's any kind of thing that she can take or, I mean, I'm an average-sized guy or if there's like a, you know, growth hormone pill that I can take for down there. What do I do?
18:52🔗Patricia ArquetteWhy would he take a growth hormone pill?
18:54🔗DrewYeah, I know. This is a great question. Why do you think that a woman changes just by having sex?
19:00🔗CallerI'm not sure. I'm just saying. It's like, I don't know what to do. I mean, I don't know why she tightens up.
19:06🔗Patricia ArquetteIs she actually prepared to have sex by the time you have sex with her? Is she like really into it? Is she already lubricated?
19:13🔗CallerYeah, totally. And then she listens up while we're having sex. But it's like, once we start up again, it just, you know, it's tighter than a bit.
19:22🔗Patricia ArquetteHow long has she been sexual?
19:42🔗DrewAll right, Mike, just answer the question. Oh, boy. Mike, so she... It becomes difficult to penetrate, right? Because there's muscular spasm down there.
19:51🔗CallerYeah, and it hurts her like you wouldn't believe.
19:53🔗DrewAnd she has pain. Okay. So she has something called vaginismus, which is a real common thing. And it's caused sometimes by a spinal reflex that there's actually some websites out there, if you just look it up, to talk about... There's manuals out there to help you undo this. And sometimes it's from anxiety and nervousness. And that's the road that Patricia was going down to make sure that she's sort of ready for this.
20:14🔗CallerYeah, I mean, I don't know why she'd be nervous.
20:50🔗AdamLoosen up, baby. Give me a shot here to operate. Yeah. It's like humping a bench vice. How am I supposed to not have an orgasm? It's interesting that he kind of turns it on her.
21:02🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah. I hope she's not feeling bad about it.
21:04🔗AdamWell, most guys would look at that little extra friction as a plus.
21:12🔗AdamBut I'm guessing he's got a little problem with premature E anyway. And he may be sort of making a little more out of her clinch than what's actually going on to sort of help his case with the premature E.
21:26🔗AdamThat's what I would argue if I was arguing against his testicles in court. Patricia Arquette is our guest tonight. She's four are against Lion Mines. I'm not clear. But four aides against Lion Mines, if I heard correctly.
22:06🔗AdamOh, okay. We like the Ruskies. We'll take a little break and we'll be right back.
22:12🔗CallerLoveline, Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191, we'll be right back.
22:46🔗AdamHey, everybody. Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Bad Religion, 311. Robert Downey Jr. Anthony Kitas. All folks coming up on this show in the next four or five days or so.
23:10🔗AdamI didn't say it. I saw it. I just didn't say it. Patricia Arquette, of course, is our guest tonight. She's got one of these movies coming up, this Spike Jonze movie in this Billy Bob Thornton movie.
23:23🔗Patricia ArquetteSpike actually produced this movie. This great director, Michelle Gondre did it. He did all his Bjork videos, a bunch of cool rock videos. But Charlie Kaufman wrote it, who wrote Being John Malkovich. So I think that's going to be out early next year.
23:40🔗AdamI really enjoyed that Being John Malkovich movie.
24:35🔗AdamWell, they were on our S-list long before 9-11. I mean, let's be fair.
24:38🔗Patricia ArquetteJewish people are getting attacked and people are just, you know, and I think if any young person out there thinks that some big terrorist plot has been foiled by someone pulling off a lady's headscarf, they're wrong. I mean, it's not helping anybody at all. How about threatening phone calls and...
24:54🔗AdamI know this sounds like a horrible concept that I have, but how about everyone just drops it? I don't mean the discrimination part. I just mean drop whatever you got. You know what I mean? Can't we all just be Americans?
25:08🔗Patricia ArquetteYou mean drop your headgear, your hats and everything?
25:10🔗AdamYeah, just drop it. Drop all. Drop the parade, drop the flag, drop everything. Just show up here, go to work, love your family, love your new country. You know what I mean? I'm not saying it's right to single out or attack any group. On the other hand, I don't think most people know who or what most people are, and I don't know what the impulse to sort of throw a parade. It's like the gay parade.
25:40🔗Patricia ArquetteLike there's a Sikh guy, a bunch of Sikh guys got killed because they wear those turbans on their head, and I don't know why exactly they wear them. Native Americans would grow their hair because they believe that was a channel to the grandfather, the higher power god, you know?
25:54🔗AdamRight. I'm saying drop it. That's what I'm saying.
25:57🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, but that's part of their religious beliefs. And this country was based on freedom of religion. We can't just say it's inconvenient now. We don't like that.
26:06🔗AdamWell, I mean, like, you take the gays, for example. They want equality, and then they have the gay parade, and a bunch of guys in chaps go up and down pulling each other by the nipples, and everyone gets PO'd, and then they go after them. And then they want to know why they're being persecuted. But I don't know who's gay and who isn't gay. So I'm just saying all you got to do is leave the chaps at home, and everyone's fine.
26:27🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah, but I went to, I got really pissed. I went to that stupid, what is that thing called? You know, it's like medieval times, the Renaissance Fair.
26:36🔗Patricia ArquetteAnd I actually went there on Father's Day. And there was an old gay man wearing some chaps, and it wasn't pretty. OK, I admit it. And my son was like, yeah, look. And I was like, well, yeah, it looks silly. It's not pretty, but oh, who cares? You know, he can wear whatever he wants. And then some lady was sitting there like ye olde winch, like with their boobs popping out. And some guy had his hand up some lady's skirt. And it was like, that was acceptable. That was fine. That was fine. That was happening.
27:02🔗AdamListen, we make plenty of fun of the Renaissance people and the Trekkies and all the other goofballs in this society who, who, who every, every day is Halloween, every day is Halloween.
27:10🔗Patricia ArquetteThe Renaissance Fair kicked these gay guys out.
27:21🔗Patricia ArquetteAnd I don't want to see you old trucker in a, in a, you know, in a long gown getting, you know, fondled with my child.
27:30🔗AdamHere's, here's all, all I'm saying. I, I don't think it's right for a clan guy to walk around with a hood on. If I was a Jewish guy, I'd leave the yarmulke at home. If I was an Arab, I'd leave the turban at home. And if I was a gay guy, I'd leave the chaps at home. You know, put them on at home in mints about the house. But when you go out, people, I say this about goth guys. You know, you wear black duster, you put on the black nail polish, and kids kick your ass.
27:55🔗Patricia ArquetteBut who's gonna design the uniform?
28:19🔗AdamDoors no longer swing on hinges. They're all like those camera lenses, apexes. You're right. There's two things that don't exist. Yes, hinges and denim in the future. I'm saying we should all just get our-
29:19🔗AdamLet me say this though. You know what invention I came up with tonight while I was freezing my house watching Monday Night Football? Heated sofa. What's wrong with a heated sofa?
29:30🔗AdamYeah, heated car seats. I got a two-story house. Why am I heating the entire house when I'm planted on the sofa for three hours watching Monday Night Football? All I need is that sofa heated up.
29:40🔗Patricia ArquetteThese ideas are old and you're just throwing them out into the wind.
29:43🔗AdamYogurt with fruit in the middle. That's what I came up with last week.
30:05🔗CallerA couple of weeks ago, my girl and I, we took ecstasy and we had sex. We didn't mean to but we ended up anyways. And we had sex a couple of days later and it wasn't as good for her and it kept on happening. And I noticed it too when I'm like masturbating. It doesn't get hard all the way.
30:29🔗DrewTwo weeks ago. I have heard of this. I don't know that I've ever heard of permanent erection problems or orgasm function from ecstasy unless it causes the depression and the anxiety problems that we so typically do see from ecstasy.
30:43🔗CallerWell, you know, we took it and we noticed like it was on a- like we'd be really like in a euphoria. Then it would go away and we'd be really sad like for half an hour. Then it'd come back. Well, it happens like I'll just be chilling at work and all of a sudden I'll be really, really down and pissed.
30:58🔗DrewWell, that's the- that's what that drug does. And if you do enough-
31:02🔗DrewNo. Although I've seen it- I just recently saw it with two exposures, a guy chronically depressed and panic attacks.
31:09🔗AdamBut Drew, hold on, hold on. Let me say this. First off, I've told you a million times, that's called being a lightweight. You as a doctor have seen guys who've been- where the rear end of their car has been hit at two miles an hour and they've been paralyzed, right?
31:21🔗Patricia ArquetteHow are you going to know if you're a lightweight? That's like playing Russian Roulette, like, oh, maybe I'm a lightweight, maybe I'm not. Let me go be depressed for a long time.
31:29🔗AdamI'll agree with you, but that ain't the drug. That's just- like I said, if someone's got whiplash from an accident that didn't occur, is it because of the accident or because they got a spinal problem?
31:38🔗Patricia ArquetteWhat was all that lupus stuff that was going on? That people were worried about they were getting lupus from it or nerve damage, no?
31:47🔗CallerWe took it three other times together and it's all different. We've had great-
31:53🔗DrewHow many times have you taken it all told?
31:55🔗CallerThree, three, three. And they've been in between six months and one time a year.
32:00🔗DrewThat's still, it's usually in my experience around 20 exposures that people really start to get the lifelong problems with this drug. But it can be different for different people. You may be a light weight, as Adam would say.
32:09🔗Patricia ArquetteBut it's nice to be able to have an erection. So maybe it's just not worth messing with the chemistry.
32:14🔗AdamAll right. I think that's as much incentive as you need not to take it. And I found it ironic that he said three, three times.
32:23🔗AdamYeah. I'm wondering if he took it four times. He would have said it four or twice, too. Well, it's all pondered that when we think about my heated sofa with the fruit in the middle of the yogurt. Heated sofa, the whole house, it's all you need. OK. Jean?
32:39🔗CallerYeah, I'm 20 years old. Me and my boyfriend, we've just currently started having sex about a month ago, about two months ago. And I told him that I've never had orgasm with him.
33:05🔗CallerWell, nothing. Nothing is that. I mean, it just takes me a little bit while. Before he's like, well, his last girlfriend always got wet. And I'm like, well, not all women get wet when they orgasm. And now I feel like he doesn't want to touch me or anything. Like, even deal with it.
33:24🔗DrewSo you tried to tell him that you needed a little change in terms of how he was conducting himself and then he started blaming you?
33:31🔗CallerKind of. And then he started blaming himself. And it's more his ego, I think. And I don't know how to deal with him. Like, I try kidding around saying, well, that's a good thing because, you know, Well, does he give you...
33:43🔗AdamCalm down. Does he give you the oral sex?
33:49🔗CallerI've come a couple of times with him. Like, I just need to get used to him, you know? Like, you can't fall asleep next to somebody unless you've been with him for a while. That's how I am with him.
33:59🔗AdamI could fall asleep in a drunk tank at a prison next to a gay hobo. Are you kidding, Gene?
34:15🔗Patricia ArquetteSo maybe he's trying a little different stuff.
34:18🔗CallerI think it might be emphasizing too much and it's going to make it sour.
34:23🔗Patricia ArquetteSo what do you mean he won't touch you if he gave you oral sex after that? Do you mean he won't have intercourse with you anymore?
34:43🔗CallerHe has with his recent girlfriend for three years and he hasn't been with her in a year, or his ex-girlfriend, I'm sorry. I kind of understood a couple of times who orgasm and became quicker. I can't explain it to him, but it seems like no matter what I do or say to him, I'm always making him feel horrible.
35:05🔗DrewDo you say it, or do you always choose to talk to him when you're in the bedroom having sex?
35:12🔗Patricia ArquetteAnd do you talk like, tell him how sexy he is when you are kissing?
35:18🔗CallerI tell him it feels good. It doesn't, you know, it doesn't feel any less. And he even told me one night that he doesn't even, well, you know, he'd rather have somebody else do the job or something like that.
35:35🔗AdamWhy don't you tell them this? You know, you've said some things, I've said some things, there's been some water under the bridge here. Let's just take it from here. Let's make a new rule, no more talking about, here's what I used to do or here's who used to get me off and all that. I used to be wetter when I was with Jim, but now I got you and of course your penis is smaller, so you don't satisfy me as much. Just, you both have heard each other out, no more talk about that. Let's just have a glass of red wine and get busy and see if we can't get a good one. Sometimes you just need a good one under your belt. You know what I'm saying? I mean you can talk all you want, but sometimes you just need to get up there and whack a ball off the right field wall.
36:21🔗DrewThat's right. You're in a slump, you got to connect with that ball.
36:25🔗AdamYou can watch films, you can talk to your coach, you can do all that crap, but you just need, sometimes you just need some good contact, a little less talk and a little more contact.
36:43🔗AdamOkay. Patricia Arquette is our guest tonight. She's against AIDS and also taking a controversial stance against racism as well and landmines.
37:11🔗Patricia ArquetteActually, I am for a blended fruit yogurt.
37:13🔗AdamShe's for it. All right, but if you're going to take fruit and put it at the bottom, let's move it up to the middle where I can get a nice start.
38:25🔗AdamPatricia Arquette is our guest tonight. She is here to talk about the ill of landmines and how that people should call the White House. Should we call Bush's direct line or just call the lobby?
38:40🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah, we'll just call the lobby. Well, um...
38:56🔗Patricia ArquetteThe number for the White House is area code 202-456-1414.
39:02🔗AdamOh, Drew, how pissed would you be if she read your home number out on the air? You know what I mean? I mean, I'm guessing he doesn't... The Bushes won't answer though, right? They probably have like a person or two between them and the...
39:13🔗DrewYeah, they have to run Get Mrs. Bush first.
39:15🔗Patricia ArquetteAnd the reason I'm giving you guys that number is today and tomorrow and the next day, you should just call in and say that you want to support banning landmines.
39:26🔗AdamIt would seem like we've moved past that from a military standpoint. I mean, they're just getting folks on foot.
39:33🔗DrewHey, if Schwarzkopf says it's so, it's so, right?
39:35🔗AdamYeah. I mean, I'm sure Schwarzkopf wants to keep the ones that will take out, you know, half tracks and tanks and things like that.
39:42🔗Patricia ArquetteNo, even those guys, you can read their letter. They were even... Oh, yeah, yeah.
39:45🔗AdamThey want to take out the big armory, big tanks and things. But getting foot soldiers... You've got to look at it this way, pardon the pun, but bang for your buck. It takes money, it takes resources, it takes time to lay something down. And if you're going to get every fifth guy who walks by and take his foot off, it just doesn't seem like a high return.
40:07🔗Patricia ArquettePlus, there's like rules of war. You know, I know that sounds crazy, but there are rules of war. And land mines are used as terrorist devices. Oh, should we go over there? No, we don't want to. Okay, we want all our troops to go this way, so we're going to mine this area so people don't go in it.
40:21🔗Patricia ArquetteBut those things don't detonate, those things don't stop killing. So that terrorism continues going on and on for decades.
40:29🔗AdamIt's an interesting thought that I never had, which is you could probably easily design one that would just have a three-year life, that it would only take one component of it to sort of fizzle out so that the thing would not be used.
40:44🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, they've made something similar to that, but the problem with that is it's very expensive and only rich countries can do that. And it's like if the US says, oh, these are the only kind of landmines we can use, these poor countries are going to go, well, screw you, we can't afford to make those. We have to ban all of these and it's even ground for all of us.
41:01🔗AdamIt would just seem like, it would just seem like it wouldn't be that much to come up with something that would be rendered useless after a few years. I mean, it just, it seems like just almost the material that you would use that would decompose or something. Dana?
41:20🔗CallerWell, I think you both, I just want to tell you that you both work very well together and I don't know if Drew will want to hear that, but...
41:28🔗AdamSure. I'm his meal ticket. He loves to hear that.
41:31🔗CallerOh, that's cool. Yeah, you are, you know.
41:36🔗CallerAnyway, Patricia, you're beautiful and I've just enjoyed seeing you in so many films and I'm actually calling because I recently got back from a honeymoon, oddly enough, in Vietnam and Cambodia and Laos and I just pretty much wanted to back you up and tell you that the presence there of landmines and injuries and obviously death is widespread. And, you know, you walk around, in Cambodia especially, and there's amputees like all over the place.
42:15🔗AdamHow did, just out of curiosity, how did the old lady or the missus take it when you told her we were going on a holiday to Cambodia, as the song would go? I mean, that must have been a tough sell. Well, a honeymoon to Cambodia?
42:54🔗CallerYeah, I think so. Khmer Rouge. And the Vietnamese... I'm sorry, the Americans, when they did bomb Cambodia pretty badly, I guess. I mean, it happened before I was born. But on the sort of east border of Cambodia, which is the border between that and Vietnam. So I think they were really only more in just a smaller part of Cambodia.
43:18🔗DrewNo, wait, wait, wait. Maybe you don't... Did you study the history of what went on in Cambodia?
43:26🔗AdamSo why did you... in Laos too, why did you go over there?
43:33🔗CallerWell, we wanted to tour through Southeast Asia, and it just sort of spread. I mean, I went to Bali last year. That's where I wanted to go. We kind of decided to sort of do the Pacific Rim thing. And, you know, so we went to China.
43:50🔗AdamI did. Well, wait a minute. I hate people like you, by the way. Why? I do, because I... Because you haven't gone? Because you know why I've been out of the country? Tijuana. I'm ten years older than you. I've never been anywhere. Yeah? I'm really angry at myself, but I like to turn it on you.
44:10🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, thanks for calling and telling us that. Yeah.
44:12🔗AdamSo lots of one-legged folks out there, huh?
44:15🔗CallerYeah. And I'll tell you one more thing. We were there over September 11. We were actually in Vietnam. And that probably became the safest place for an American to be in the world. It started to feel that way. Because oddly enough, they just love Americans there. They really do. They've sort of forgiven us. But there you go.
44:36🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, and it's also, you know, you think about that. We were at war with Vietnam. We had planted all these land mines. We're still blowing people up. And now we're friends and they love us. And we don't want to blow their children up.
44:48🔗AdamAnd one of the reasons they love us too is because we were right. I mean, the communist regime over there didn't turn out to be such a great kicks for John Q. Public. You know, what would we call it? Like Lim Q. Public or any good Vietnamese first name, Drew. And you think they work at all that way in different countries like in Germany, be like Gunter Q. Public. Do you know what I mean? Like in Sweden, be Hans Q. Public. I'd like to work this out one day because I know in England, you know, John Q. Public is Joe Bloggs.
45:35🔗Patricia ArquetteLike I said, I thought of something else I'm against. Sign languages in each different country have their own sign language. I think there should be one world sign language.
45:46🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah, that would help too. But if everyone learned the sign language of the whole world, we could all talk to each other.
45:51🔗AdamHey, what can you, could you do that? But then how? Yeah. But if you got a different language in your country, would that work out?
45:58🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah. If we learned one, made one common sign language.
46:01🔗DrewBut the grammar is different and it's completely different.
46:04🔗Patricia ArquetteThat's true. The grammar would be different.
46:05🔗AdamBut still the jeans with the panty lines sewn in would work.
46:08🔗Patricia ArquetteWould work all over the world.
46:10🔗AdamThat is a universal language. Everyone likes to look at panty ass. We'll take ourselves a little break. Patricia Arquette is here. If we just got together, we could really come up with some ideas, me and you.
47:40🔗AdamPatricia Arquette and Dr. Drew myself, in the American entrepreneurial spirit, just had a very interesting conversation about sofas. Patricia Arquette is here to say that landmines are a bad thing.
48:08🔗AdamAnd I'm bad, but warm sofas are something we can all agree on. That's right. And when do these movies come out? They say Spike Jonze and this Billy Bob Thornton.
48:20🔗Patricia ArquetteSpike Jonze is not Spike Jonze. I mean, he produced it.
48:24🔗AdamOh, all right. Well, the Spike Jonze produced the movie.
48:26🔗Patricia ArquetteIt's called Human Nature, that movie. It'll be out January, February, March, somewhere around there. And so will a Billy Bob Thornton movie called The Badge.
48:33🔗AdamAnd this Billy Bob is really, I just saw him in that, I actually haven't seen the whole thing yet, but I got hold of that one where he's a barber, the man that wasn't there.
48:49🔗AdamLet's, how is he as a guy? Did you work with him? He's so sweet. Did you do scenes with him?
48:53🔗Patricia ArquetteOh yeah, we had, you know, the whole movie, it's sort of, he's this uptight cop and I am, he comes in to have to deal with my world because my partner gets killed and it's like this world of strippers, singers, transvestites and craziness. He's in over his head. So it's kind of a weird Southern, you know, crime drama with these weird twists in it.
49:31🔗Patricia ArquetteI just think she's really expressive about what she feels. She's not, you know, making a movie star, you know, vision for the world. She's sort of just being whoever she is. And there's something nice about that.
49:43🔗AdamYeah. Are they still kind of creepy in love?
49:46🔗Patricia ArquetteI don't know if it's creepy, but they are madly in love.
49:50🔗Patricia ArquetteOh, come on. You'd be in love with her too, wouldn't you?
49:53🔗AdamOf course, of course I would. But my, see, I've told this to Drew many times. My instincts would be just to, you know, have her step on a landmine and keep her at home, not bring her around with a vial of blood around her and show her off to the world. I'd hide her. If I had a prize like that, I'd just keep her just barefoot and naked and pregnant. I'd just, I'd just chain her to a radiator and just keep her at home.
50:15🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, she wouldn't stay long, though.
50:30🔗CallerPatricia. Adam, I've heard you say that you can't trust guys who worry about themselves too much. Right. And, Dr. Drew, I heard you say the same thing, that you hate talking to paranoid people because they just lose their reasoning capabilities after a point.
50:47🔗CallerThat being said, I'm aware that I've recently fallen into this category and I want to get out of it. I want to shake this paranoia, but I'm not able to do it, it seems like.
50:57🔗AdamWell, give us an example of your paranoia, Fred.
50:59🔗CallerWell, it's actually, it's not like about everything. It's just one specific incident. I actually called a couple of weeks ago and it was involving the menstruating woman and we were like grinding genitals, but there was no penetration.
52:34🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, just because you're menstruating doesn't mean there's a lot of blood coming out. Maybe it was later in her cycle or maybe it was just a little...
52:42🔗CallerThat's true. I mean, that's the reason why I feel I'm paranoid.
52:44🔗AdamHold on. Hold on, paranoid Fred. Is it only disease-related things that make you paranoid? Is it blood or is it woman-related things?
52:51🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, how well do you know her?
52:53🔗CallerWell, I didn't know her at all. That was one of the reasons why I was so paranoid.
52:56🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, do you know her now still?
52:58🔗CallerNo, actually that kind of made me more paranoid because I tried to contact her, but basically I freaked the hell out of it.
53:03🔗DrewIf this caused the transmission of HIV or hepatitis, you would be on the front of every medical journal I know of.
53:10🔗CallerYeah, and that's exactly what you told me last time. And Adam, you went on your whole tirade afterwards about how the whole AIDS scare did everyone a disturbance in the long run.
54:06🔗AdamAll right. All right. So, you have these impulses. You know they're irrational. You're a sane person. Move on. All right. Thank you.
54:15🔗DrewIf really, you're a little bit old for this to be coming on, but if this is obsessive compulsive disorder, it's something that is treatable, and you ought to look into that.
54:24🔗AdamI wish I had some. All right. Let's talk to Mario, who's 20. Mario?
54:38🔗CallerThank you. Sorry. My question is for, I guess, Dr. Drew. I want to know if there's any way I can safely reduce, if not completely eliminate, my sex drive.
55:04🔗CallerWell, I know it was a big life decision, but I felt it was for the best. Why? Because my sexual appetite drives me miserable. Why? Well, because I don't really want to participate. I mean, I don't fare very well.
56:09🔗AdamWell, that's why. I mean, of course, you want all the... Because then you could just... You could just no longer want it because it wouldn't be an option. I mean, you couldn't fail at something you weren't attempting to do.
56:27🔗AdamWell, yeah, but... Yeah? Would you keep that going?
56:34🔗CallerWell, I hope not. The thing is, I don't want to... You know, I like masturbation. I like porn. The thing is, I don't want to desire those things anymore.
57:23🔗Patricia ArquetteYou're only 20 years old. Why are you making that decision?
57:28🔗CallerBecause I feel it's me. And honestly, you keep asking why. I think I will be a lot more happier because I'll be... I want to make something clear. I'm not against friendship. I'm not. I intend. I respect women.
57:42🔗Patricia ArquetteI don't think we thought you were against friendship.
57:46🔗Patricia ArquetteI'm not against friendship either.
57:48🔗AdamThere's a lot of controversial stances being taken today. A lot of things people are saying that they're going to have to answer for later on.
58:03🔗AdamFor friendships, against AIDS, against rape, against discrimination. I think rape is a good thing. Against discrimination. Hey, you said that. It was totally out of context. I think rape is a good thing. Out of context. Out of context.
58:28🔗AdamThis is a hair-brained scheme. And you feel like your penis is cursed. I've been there myself. Mine still has a bit of a hex on it. It's only now that I've had some minor B-slash-C celebrity have I been able to overcome this Corolla handicap with the cursed genitalia.
58:47🔗DrewBut I'm concerned there may be something more substantial going on.
58:50🔗AdamWhatever it is, you closing up shop is not the way to go. Do you understand?
58:59🔗AdamIt is an avoidance. It's no way to approach life. And it's no way to approach business, by the way, either. This is like if your car had rust on it, you would just paint over the rust so you didn't have to look at it. It doesn't go away.
59:16🔗DrewI hate cars. I'm never going to drive a car again.
59:18🔗CallerI still want to have compassion for people. I still want to have, you know, I want to keep the compassion.
59:23🔗DrewYeah, but you don't want intimacy. That's a very, that is a necessary ingredient for human happiness. And it suggests that something very serious happened to you in terms of your ability to form attachments or your experience of intimacy in the past. And there may be even something more biological going on with you. This needs to be looked into. It's a rather serious set of symptoms.
59:46🔗AdamHe's going to a college. Just go to the human resources or help and be with the mental health services service and talk to them. But don't don't drop out and shut down.
59:56🔗DrewIt scares me he's going to do something weird, like eventually get more obsessive, try to cut his penis off. That's right.
1:00:01🔗Patricia ArquetteOh, no, gosh, please. No, please don't do that.
1:00:04🔗AdamLandline got Drew's penis. Sarah. It's a long time ago. Oh, they do have those bouncing bettys. I mean, those things pop up and go off in your pride.
1:00:54🔗AdamWhat about we set you up with a weirdo Mario who just hung out?
1:00:57🔗CallerNo, no, no. I know, like every person, like, my, the first guy I kissed was the guy I lost in Virginia to and it was all in the same night.
1:02:33🔗AdamOkay. It takes so long to get to everything on this goddamn show.
1:02:36🔗DrewBecause she's so angry that she can't even...
1:02:38🔗Patricia ArquetteBut it's like maybe your mom would be okay with that. No.
1:02:42🔗CallerNo, my mom, like, my mom changed her safe deposit box keys to my brother and I so that he wouldn't have access to her personal belongings after she died.
1:02:53🔗CallerSo that, like, she was like, you know, if he ever gets a new woman, I don't want her having my stuff. You guys are going to have this and you're going to make a trouble.
1:02:59🔗Patricia ArquetteOkay, you're ready to, now, do you go to therapy?
1:03:01🔗DrewWait, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute. It's normal for her to say something like, I want my children to have these things. Your father may get, you know, have someone else he's with. I don't want her in her hands. I want you to own these things. That's different than, hey, that dirt scum ball father of yours is going to get another woman. That's not what she said, was it? This is your feelings about it now that he's a scum ball because it's only been six months and you're grieving and you're in pain and he's going out with someone with bad boundaries, who's not such a good person herself.
1:03:31🔗AdamApparently not a great doctor either. She was also on a post-traumatic.
1:03:36🔗CallerThis was when she was on her medications through hospice and so, I mean, she was rather blunt about everything she said.
1:03:54🔗Patricia ArquetteMaybe you should talk to your dad about doing that and saying, you know, I'm really grieving over my mom still and I have a lot of stuff I got to deal with and I need to go to therapy.
1:04:03🔗AdamAnd she's 18 years old. She's been through a whole bunch in the last few years. She's got tons of feelings. She's angry.
1:04:10🔗DrewShe's angry at men and she's trying to manage these feelings. And sex is one way to try to get away from feeling.
1:04:16🔗Patricia ArquetteAnd also feel comfort. To feel touched. To feel loved for a moment, you know. And also your daddy's grieving too.
1:04:26🔗AdamThat's a different way of showing it. He humps his doctor friend. But here's the thing. It's all right to not be in a relationship at this stage with all these feelings. And you're young and all this stuff. And some people start at different times. And 18 may sound old to you because all the peers you hang out with and they've had a few boyfriends by now. But, you know, Drew, looking back on it, like, look at all the people you know, like I work in an office with a bunch of guys and there were guys who got laid all through high school and there are guys who didn't get an ounce of trim until college and there are guys who didn't get anything until they're in their 20s. And, you know, everyone kind of had a different cadence and started a different time. And Drew, I know you started at about 11, but because he's a passionate, passionate man. But now you look back on it, it doesn't seem to make any difference, does it? It just seems like part of life. There were the guys you knew and the girls you knew who were very active, who seemed to be completely adapted socially and, you know, bell the ball and all that. And then the people found it later in life that everyone's married. Everyone's happy. Everyone's fine. You know, well, maybe not happy, but they're married. Right. My point is, is don't make so much out of it when you're in the middle of it.
1:05:43🔗CallerUm, okay, I'm trying to lose some weight. And in the past about two and a half weeks, I've, I've been exercising. Um, and I've noticed, you know, some parts of my body, my arms, my legs, well, you know, a little bit toner, a little bit firmer. But my stomach, which I've actually been trying to focus on, seems bigger.
1:06:04🔗DrewWell, one thing that exercise does is it increases your appetite. So maybe you're gaining some weight.
1:06:08🔗CallerI haven't, I mean, I haven't changed my diet at all. I mean, I've been, you know, I've been eating, at least for the past six months, a pretty, you know, healthy diet.
1:06:45🔗CallerHe didn't set up a dietary plan for me, but I eat, I mean, I have a good idea of what's good for you, what to eat. My brother's a health nut, so, you know.
1:06:54🔗Patricia ArquetteOkay, like how much bigger is your stomach now than when you started? Like two inches?
1:07:00🔗CallerI have a pair of jeans that used to be pretty loose. Now they're just like a little bit loose, so maybe, you know, like an inch and a half or so.
1:07:08🔗Patricia ArquetteMaybe your muscles are just changing shape. Maybe it might take a little while for them to calm down.
1:07:19🔗AdamI don't know. Hey, listen, your dad's a nutritionist. Ask him. What do we know? You know, I was thinking about pants today. You know, you know, my problem is.
1:07:28🔗AdamYou know, I've worn. Here's here's my problem, quite, quite frankly. I got a couple of things to say. Number one, I was thinking I got all I can't I am so lazy. I can no longer wear jeans anymore because I find them too confined and uncomfortable. You know what I mean?
1:07:43🔗Patricia ArquetteThat's why he's trying to X them out of the future.
1:07:45🔗AdamYou know, you're getting old when you just you want to hop into that old guy jumpsuit. Yeah. But you're in your thirties. But all I wear is like sweatpants and stuff. And here's my problem. I've been a 34 waist for like the last 10 years. And the problem is, is I'm really probably a 34 and a half or a good 35.
1:08:07🔗AdamI will not go up. I will not go up to the next side. So what I do is I buy pants that are 34, 34. They're uncomfortable because they're a little tight around the waist. You won't wear them.
1:08:18🔗AdamSo I have 300 pair of jeans in my closet and I wear the same pair of sweatpants everywhere because I can't emotionally go up and the problem is is I could probably emotionally handle the 35s but they come 36 is the next one and that's too much. Yeah and it now here's something guys have to deal with too when the waist gets bigger than the length. That's tough emotionally too.
1:08:42🔗DrewIt's more bizarre than to me. The length I went up on the waist thing. Legs shorten 4 inches.
1:09:09🔗AdamAll right, but I'll feel much better getting a pair of 36, 34s if I know you're over. Yeah, I mean, I felt bad going past, you know.
1:09:18🔗DrewRemember those jeans they gave us for free? Yeah. They brought a 36, 32 for me. I went, oh, this is way off. I'm not even going to try these on.
1:09:39🔗AdamWe'll take ourselves a little break. One other thing I want to say, I don't know why it popped into my head, but we're talking about, Patricia was talking about AIDS and talking about black males being one of the fastest growing communities of AIDS, and a lot of that going on in Africa, and Africa being out of control with the AIDS situation. Drew, I mentioned this to you before, but it just cracked me up. I saw this report on 60 Minutes, 6 or 8 months ago, where they were talking about the out of control rapes that are going on in Africa, and how it's just all over the place, and AIDS is being spread, and women are being raped like crazy in South Africa especially. They went to, and this is what I love about 60 Minutes, whenever they go to the, they show all the raping going on and the people living in squalor and everything, and then they go to the polo match to be with the elite, a couple of generals and the prince and these people, these folks, and they say to them, they say, are you aware of what's going on basically in your country or your community? And the guy had a great answer. So it was a cocktail party. It was during the day. Everyone's wearing party dresses and eating ladyfingers. And the guy goes, rape? What rape? This is overstated. Look around. Look around. Do you see anyone being raped? Like I said, a party at a mansion, there's like 35 people wearing chiffon dresses and, you know, a chamber orchestra playing. No, you don't see any rape. And he like says to like one of his seconds in command, do you see any rape? No, I see no rape.
1:13:36🔗AdamNo. Nothing. Not even with the brilliant Da Vinci type mine with the fruit in the middle yogurt. She had so fun. Beer can with the pulled pampas on each side. I might be well fed.
1:14:17🔗AdamNothing worse. You're wearing your sweatpants, you sit down in your car, you hear all that trinket wrinkle, a bunch of nickels and quarters falling, getting caught in the mechanism underneath the seat. Change floating around everywhere in the car, in the sofa pillows, the heated sofa pillows. How about a nice big ball of change? Just a magnetic ball of change.
1:14:35🔗DrewHow would you get it to go down with the slats?
1:14:37🔗Patricia ArquetteOr it would get used as weapons.
1:14:39🔗AdamWe make that out of the non-ferrous metal, and it won't conduct it.
1:14:44🔗Patricia ArquetteWe can get rid of landmines and put chunks of pennies in the ground.
1:14:48🔗AdamMagnetic change, a big ball of change. You just keep that ball, put it in the ashtray or car, no more digging around. How many deaths do you think loose change causes every year?
1:15:16🔗AdamAre you ready for a change? When I run for office, these are, listen, I'm not going to be one of these goofballs up there talking about NAFTA and talking about missile defense and public housing. I'm talking about change, I'm talking about change, literally. I would love to just run on crazy stuff. No garbage will be picked up before 10 a.m. Your buns will be warmed. That's right. Other ideas, other ideas. I will give all the homeless cop uniforms, so it looks like we have a strong police presence, all the time.
1:15:49🔗DrewA new system of measurement for smell.
1:16:20🔗AdamAll right. Let me pick the right name with that Lee. That's a lesbian name.
1:16:25🔗CallerYeah. And she wants me to come back home, but it's like a tug of war with my family. My sister, she's like really overprotective, but she's married. She has a baby and everything.
1:16:35🔗AdamWell, let me get this straight. You have a relationship with a woman who has three kids.
1:17:07🔗CallerI really want to marry this lady and I want to go back home and be with her, but it's so tough. You know, because I'm trying to be support to my family.
1:17:14🔗AdamWell, hold on now. Here's the part I'm confused about. You don't live with the lesbian.
1:17:53🔗Patricia ArquetteBut you're going to be a lesbian. You just got to say, I'm going to be a lesbian no matter what. I'm going to keep being in lesbian relationships. And if you're going to love me, you're going to have to love me the way that I am.
1:18:05🔗AdamListen, hold on. Bill Gates looks like he's 14, but he still has $400 billion and runs an empire. It doesn't matter how old he looks. So he gets carted when he buys a six or once in a while. It doesn't matter. How old you look is sort of irrelevant here, Lee. It's how old you act that we're concerned about. And you're 26. You should be well on your way in your adult life. And you're.
1:18:28🔗CallerYeah, it's so crazy that I had to go get professional help like now. OK, but OK.
1:18:33🔗AdamSo are you sort of for lack of a better term, sort of drying out or chilling out in Hawaii?
1:19:38🔗AdamYou go down on her, you taste some scalp. It's bad times. Hi, Haley. Unacceptable. Okay. Here's the deal. Here's the advice I want to give you. Okay. First off, enjoy Hawaii. Okay. Secondly, forget about your parents and forget about this girl for now. Focus on you. You have some problems. You have to get your life going. You're 26 years old. You get so caught up in the distraction of this girl and her chaos and your parents and what they want for you that you don't actually look at yourself or do anything for yourself. And you got to focus on your career, your education, whatever it is, your mental health, whatever it is you need. If you need medication, if you need counseling, if you need career, if you need school, whatever you got to do, do that, focus on that, get that in order, and then let these things sort of sort themselves out.
1:20:30🔗DrewI'm suspicious of the drug and alcohol thing here too. I wanted to...
1:20:42🔗Patricia ArquetteAre you always just sitting around talking about your problems, what your girlfriend's doing, what your mom's doing, what your sister says?
1:20:53🔗AdamYeah, look, everybody, your troubles will magically melt away if you get busy and start focusing on your ass. And that doesn't mean being selfish, and that doesn't mean working other people out of your life. It just means stop dancing in everyone else's ball. Stop being an extra in their movie. Right. Focus on your own project. Any other metaphors I can use here?
1:21:45🔗I was dating this guy for like a year and a half. And in September, we were over at my house. And my parents said they were going to get home at 10. And it was about 9 o'clock. And we actually started having oral sex. My parents came home early.
1:22:23🔗AdamOh. Drew, I've said this many times. I know people are listening. I think I'm kidding. Patricia, you're going to think I'm kidding. But Drew, when your beautiful young daughter gets a boyfriend, you are going to keep the cyanide pill in your cheek, in your cheek for when you come home early or late and open a door and see the window open and someone in a bizarre 69 position. No questions asked.
1:23:16🔗AdamWhere is she? What line is she on? Line one? Yeah. 69. Seriously? Yeah. How is it? And by the way, how is it that you... Let's say they said they were going to be home at 10. And what time is it when you guys are knee deep in each other?
1:23:42🔗CallerWell, see, he's really cautious and I'm really not. And so when we're over at my house, I'm... he trusts me because it's my house. It's kind of like a territory and I know what's going on. Whereas when we're at his house, you know, I trust him.
1:23:55🔗AdamLet me ask you this. was there an element of this? It's a little bit of an F-U to pops or moms or a little bit?
1:24:54🔗AdamHe jumped off the bed. He has an erection? Yeah. I love that. I love when guys have to do evasive maneuvers with an erection. There's nothing more comical than a guy with an erection, like getting in a fight or having a run. So he's off the bed. What's your mom say?
1:25:53🔗CallerWell, my mom was like, how could you do it? They were just in shock because I'm their third.
1:25:58🔗AdamWell, you got an 18-year-old boyfriend. What did they think? What was their fantasy about what was going on?
1:26:04🔗CallerWell, I think they had an idea, but they never really wanted to believe it.
1:26:09🔗AdamOkay. All right. So now it's a little...
1:26:10🔗Patricia ArquetteSo now they won't let you see him anymore or what?
1:26:13🔗CallerRight. And now, so he's not allowed to come over to my house anymore. I'm not allowed to go anywhere with him, which is understandable. But I've been for the last, you know, month, month and a half. It's past since then or two months, whatever. I've been like really missing him. And it's really hard. I actually see him every week on Wednesday nights.
1:26:34🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, why don't you say to them like, Look, I know this is hard for you to understand, but you know, I am getting sexual and I am getting older. And I'm going to respect your rules of this house. But I'm falling in love with somebody or I have strong feelings about somebody. So, look, can you come over and we'll keep the door open? Or how can I build back trust with you?
1:26:55🔗Patricia ArquetteBut grow into a woman and have a dialogue with you so that we can stay close.
1:27:00🔗AdamYeah. Broach that with your mom. Pull your mom aside and say, Look, mom, when you were 16, did you have a crush on a guy? Were you in love? You know, chances are mom lost her virginity 16, 17 years old, you know.
1:27:15🔗Patricia ArquetteIf you alienate your kids and you don't stay current with being able to talk about what they're going through, then you're, you know. You're losing them. You're losing them and they're going to need your advice. They're going to need you when they break their heart.
1:27:29🔗AdamAnd it's like, first you lay it out on the table. 69, no rimming, just straight 69. If you like, we can do away with that. Just sort of, you know, back and forth. I'll give him a BJ and he can go down on me, but we don't have to get in the 69.
1:27:58🔗AdamIs it a couple of minutes? Like you might stand there and still focus on something. You wouldn't just collapse. You need a device that blows your head off when you chomp down on it. What if there was a mistake? What if you kick the door open? It's your daughter's room, but it's like her blonde haired friend who snuck in there. You make the horrible mistake of thinking it's your daughter and chomped down on it. Your head blows off.
1:28:24🔗AdamPatricia Arquette is here. We're going to take a little break and we'll be right back. Hey, y'all. Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew. Bad Religion, our good friends coming up later this week. Also, more friends, 311. And then we got Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kitas coming in here doing some talking about some LA Free Clinic, I believe. The you and I are going to do some hosting on something on coming up too. So we got all that good stuff ahead of us. Patricia Arquette is here tonight talking about outlawing landmines. It is something we've been kidding about sometimes and people don't think too much about, but it's really horrible for the people who are left behind in these war torn countries. And like I said, especially the kids and the peasants and the people who have to work the fields.
1:29:50🔗Patricia ArquetteWell, like, you know, there are a lot of countries like in Afghanistan when the Taliban was in, women were not allowed to work even though a lot of them were widows. So they would have to go out and forage for wood to make fires and a lot of them would, you know, step on landmines because actually in that behind the veil there is a girl in it who gets her legs blown off and she was already an orphan. So she was like, oh, now I'm going to be, you know, more in need of the assistance of my family and now I'll never be able to get married which was her only option of a life because she wouldn't have legs. So yeah, a lot of women go out, you know, and a lot of times when they do mine these areas, they mine around villages, they mine around water holes. You're going to have to get water, especially in these countries where there's droughts, you're going to have to go get water. And if these mines last for 70, 80, 90 years, your chances are good that that's going to go off.
1:30:44🔗DrewDo you think enough is going to be made of what happened to women in Afghanistan?
1:30:48🔗Patricia ArquetteNo, I don't. And I still I'm horrified about what's happening in Afghanistan. I don't know what to do about it for women exactly. No, it's horrible. Not, you know, it's a horrible situation. What happened on the 11th? And it's a horrible reality that they were living in. I don't know what it is in humans that are capable of doing this to one another. I don't know.
1:31:11🔗AdamWell, who are we to judge? We can't judge cultures. They're just.
1:31:15🔗Patricia ArquetteOh, you like that, don't you, Drew?
1:31:17🔗AdamThey have just as much, just as much right, just as much right to their cultures. We do. We can impose our wills on their cultures, their culture. That's that's this is what I like about.
1:31:28🔗AdamWell, listen, there's a lot of pussies in this country that are constantly talking about us not having the right to judge other cultures or impose our will on the cultures.
1:31:39🔗AdamBut most of those people who make that argument are vehemently for women's rights. So now they're at a weird crossroads because they're into that. We shouldn't meddle in foreign policy. We shouldn't impose our culture. We shouldn't go abroad and tell these people what to do. But these people are being horrible to women. And so now, like I said, there's a weird dichotomy here.
1:32:02🔗Patricia ArquetteWe shouldn't be the police force for the world and then do something about it.
1:32:05🔗DrewIf we are just moral people, don't we have an obligation?
1:32:08🔗AdamThat's what that's what I think. And there's this whole sort of left-wing thing to there's no right and there's no wrong. There's only different.
1:32:17🔗AdamBut it is. I think it's OK to say that beating women and forcing them not to work.
1:32:23🔗DrewEven if you want to call them healthy and unhealthy. There is healthy and there is unhealthy.
1:32:27🔗AdamYes. And it may be different than what we're used to. But I think that's OK.
1:32:32🔗Patricia ArquetteI mean, I think it's OK to live that way.
1:32:34🔗AdamNo, it's not. The point is, is if you're doing things to harm people, women, children, even if it's a cultural thing, I think it's OK to make a judgment.
1:32:43🔗DrewI think we have an obligation to do that.
1:32:45🔗Patricia ArquetteThat's why I think if we have some kind of an enforceable world court, where we all come together, that would be the general consensus would be, that's not OK. That's just not OK.
1:33:00🔗Patricia ArquetteBut, you know, we don't even want to have a world court because we feel like, oh wait, if Osama Bin Laden ends up in this country where, you know, there's no capital punishment, they won't send it back to us and they won't do what we want to do, so we don't want to be a part of the world court, but we need to come together as a whole world and make kind of a...
1:33:19🔗AdamI'll tell you, if you really think about it between this, and I know we got to go to break, between this terrorism stuff recently and even more recently, or semi-recently stuff like NAFTA and stuff like the Euro-Dollar and stuff. I mean, let's face it, the world is just becoming one big country and has moved faster in that direction over the last five or ten years than ever in history. And if you look down the road, ten years from now, twenty years from now, a hundred years from now, aren't we pretty much just getting to that sort of one world in a sense?
1:33:52🔗Patricia ArquetteYeah, and I think secretly we have been for a long time, and I think, you know, we're going to have a lot of business in the Middle East as long as we're using up so much oil.
1:34:00🔗AdamThat's right. That's why me and Ed Begley Jr. ride those bikes to work. We're going to take ourselves a little break. We'll be right back.
1:34:09🔗CallerOkay, so I know there's nothing wrong with me. So what's up? So I was like, you know, I used to think that these datelines were totally cheesy.
1:35:43🔗AdamFruit in the middle, baby. Or I may change that to just fruit on one side.
1:35:47🔗Patricia ArquetteLet me throw my magnetized coins at you.
1:35:50🔗AdamOh, okay. I will be revered one day as a genius.
1:35:55🔗DrewWell, with Patricia's name applied. Right. The brain is behind Patricia's success.
1:36:00🔗AdamI want to thank Patricia for coming out here. It was our pleasure. And until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
1:36:08🔗CallerI want to make something clear. I'm not against friendship.
