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 over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board-certified physician, and addiction medicine specialist. And we are very pleased and surprised to bring to the show tonight Robert Downey Jr. and of course Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, all to promote a very worthy cause. It's a benefit, a three-day benefit for the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic, which is going on this coming weekend.
1:48🔗AdamThursday, Friday, Saturday. Yeah, you got to wonder if they have this at the Idaho Free Clinic. The Boise Free Clinic? Yes, some local radio and like a plate spinner out there raising money. But this is a very worthy cause. I went last year one night. I didn't perform or do anything like that, but I did get some free booze and rub some elbows. And it's quite an event. And there was what? How much was raised last year, Drew? Do you got that?
2:50🔗AdamWell, I had a little yeast on the Peckeroo, as I like to say. One of the few guys I know was able to contract yeast on his penis. He had a little yeasty on the Peckeroo. It was a humiliating experience, but it was free and my penis is still with me.
3:05🔗I have rocked the clinic and I owe my penile health to that early visit to a clinic, but that was a different clinic also. That was a West Hollywood clinic. My high school years, something was going on.
3:17🔗DrewMost adolescent adults now use Planned Parenthood and free clinics as their health care. They really see it as something that's there to serve them and indeed they are more geared up to handle young people than the average doctor's offices where things are very sort of threatening and it's where their parents might find out about it.
3:31🔗Gear up the clinics because if you think about it, we live in a pretty rich country and not everyone has the access to getting the health care that according to Dana Hollister is a right for all humans who live in this country.
3:44🔗AdamWell, and even speaking of money, it probably saves you money as a society to get people taken care of early on at a lesser price and it would be down the road to take care of more advanced things. I mean, it's a good bang for your buck, isn't it?
4:00🔗DrewYou would think so, but you can function like an HMO and just make sure people kind of pass along.
4:04🔗AdamOh, listen, I don't want to cure anybody, I just want to get them in and out. Just patch them up.
4:18🔗CallerNo one has any idea what the line up is. All right. Well, I'm kidding. It's going to be some plate spinners.
4:23🔗DrewAnd a local radio person from Boise, Idaho. Okay.
4:26🔗AdamRight. Mike Baker, the deal maker from the Idaho Pontiac. He's going to be out there giving away bumper stickers and windbreakers. No, Elton John and Sting on Thursday night.
4:41🔗AdamAnd the Jaguars who have been on this show. And Amy Mann who has been on this show on Friday night. Then Saturday night, Third Eye Blind and the Jaguars again.
4:50🔗CallerAnd from what I understand, Sting is going to be doing personalized condom fittings before and after the performance.
4:58🔗Adam8-hour tantric condom fittings. And by the way, what a condom lasts. I mean, how many condoms do you think Sting would have to go through in an 8-hour sex session?
5:07🔗DrewYou know, we've never actually addressed that in condom education. If you go more than X period of time, put on a new one. I mean, tires only go 20,000 miles, right?
5:15🔗CallerThe idea is to get a metaphysical condom happening.
5:22🔗GuestIt's another prolo platform for this kind of discussion. I think many people have the reservoir of energy to go through several dozen condoms, with or without chlamydia.
5:36🔗AdamRight. But do they have the endurance? I mean, can they hold off from the ejaculation? That's the thing.
5:59🔗CallerRobert, tell everyone how they can buy tickets.
6:01🔗GuestWell, presently, our website, www.silverliningsilverlake.com. our website, www.silverliningsilverlake.com. As a matter of fact, they got so many hits today that it kind of blitzed, even though it supposedly has a, can handle a bunch. But that's the way to get through it. Unless someone tells me that there's something else that's supposed to happen. www.silverliningsilverlake.com.
6:29🔗AdamAnd how much are the tickets? Are they asking for donations or how does that work? Because I imagine 30 bucks wouldn't be enough for the talent that's on it.
6:37🔗CallerIt's a fat and foreboding price tag, but I think the idea is to dig deep and get your corporate love on and maybe get some tax write-offs or whatever. Tickets ranging, that's like $100, $200, $300, $400. You can buy a table, you can get seats, you can, like you said, you can rub elbows.
6:56🔗AdamRight. Well, I was there last year and it's an intimate environment. I mean, it's not like you're going to see Sting and Elton John at the pond. I mean, it's a very intimate environment, so you're paying to get up close and to be comfortable and have a nice seat with some high rollers.
7:12🔗DrewAre you guys going to be there all three nights or are we just all going to be on the same night here?
7:32🔗AdamYeah, and really, I got to be honest, I'm really glad you guys came on the show and I'm surprised because somebody called me and said I should do this and I said who's going to be there and then I said they should do the show and I thought it would never ever happen. But you're men of your words and we appreciate you being here. All right, you want to take some calls?
7:56🔗CallerI like to communicate. Is this really Coast to Coast?
7:59🔗DrewCoast to Coast, right now. Angel's 18, she's in Texas.
8:02🔗CallerYeah, I have like two questions. One of them is, my boyfriend, he has always been wanting me to get with another girl. And he knows that I've been by. And well, the other night, he was always wanting to videotape it, either that or see a videotape.
8:19🔗AdamWow. See, this guy keeps pushing. He should start with just the threesome and then break the camera out in the middle of that. But this guy's laying it all on the table.
8:28🔗CallerYeah. Well, a couple of nights ago, me and my girlfriend, he knows about her. We videotaped it and then I told him about it. That's like the next morning. Because I'd called him from her house and he got all mad and everything. And she just turned around and told him and said, this is what she said you wanted, so we got it. And he still got upset about it.
8:55🔗CallerWell, see, he said he wanted to be there too.
8:58🔗DrewThis is so characteristic of what happens when you bring other people in. Your relationship suffers. You never know how the other person is going to react.
9:06🔗CallerSee, I have a boyfriend and a girlfriend.
9:08🔗DrewI understand. It doesn't really work to do that. It's nice on paper, but in reality, this is the kind of stuff that happens. People's feelings get hurt. And the other reality is, the way humans are set up, you never get to actually experience real connection, real intimacy if you're distracted a ton of other places.
9:25🔗AdamWell, does he want to see the tape? I mean, I think you could make it right. Oh, he did.
11:31🔗AdamHere's how gambling works on this show. We haven't done it in a while. We usually don't do it this far into a call, but she's around. We know something's up with Angel. Something in her past created her present. And we try to shine a light on that by doing some gambling only on her past. Now, we know the situation she's in today. And you can dip back as, you know, alcoholic dad or sexually abused. Or sometimes you can play the Everything's Fine card and make your money that way. But let's just say a buck all the way around. Now, you want me to start to set the table here?
12:04🔗CallerSomeone's going to have to spot me. My money's in the trunk.
12:07🔗AdamAll right, I'm going with the old-fashioned sexual abuse. Step dad. All right. All right. Anthony?
12:54🔗AdamHer. Mid-teens stripping. Interesting. Never going to make a penny.
12:59🔗CallerI'm going to go with the, uh, the standard, um, got kidnapped and forced to watch Russ Meyer films at the age of eight.
13:07🔗DrewBut you could, you could go with that she, that she had, some sexual addiction comes from having been exposed to excessive sort of pornographic material at like age five or eight.
13:15🔗CallerI'm going to say she got overexposed at a young age.
14:14🔗CallerI just want to say real quickly, if I can say to Angel, that just about everyone I've ever met has been sexually abused, so don't feel weird or...
14:23🔗Caller.or different or like, you know, messed up because that everyone that I know has been somehow sexually abused. And I think the thing to do is just talk about it and realize it's not the shame that you want to...
14:35🔗DrewThat shame, yeah, shame becomes sort of an organizing property of the personality when there's been sexual abuse. And really what the abuse does is just sort of reorganize. When people talk about reorganizing one's love map or arousal maps, where it sort of solders in a circuitry of arousal that's not normal and it bypasses intimacy and everything that you would normally want from a relationship gets sort of focused on sexuality. And they can't stand the abandonment of real intimacy, so they get five relationships going all at once and all very arousing and crazy.
15:18🔗CallerYeah, it happened for a continuous four months.
15:21🔗AdamIt's got to be something else there. What's up with your mom that she's so whacked out that she wouldn't understand this or believe this? Or that she would hang out with this guy?
15:29🔗CallerWell, she wasn't really hanging out with him. She was hanging out with...
15:32🔗DrewBut she would let her children be around this a-hole.
15:35🔗CallerWell, what happened was that I had gotten kicked out of the house and they didn't want to put me in an orphanage so they had them take over guardianship.
16:21🔗CallerYeah, I've been very... I've been very... They've been keeping a very close eye on me, and they say that I'm the healthy one out of the whole family.
16:27🔗AdamWell, didn't they tell you no threesomes, though? I mean, my doctor told me that. I had a little arrhythmia, Drew, as they call it, no threesomes.
16:36🔗CallerWell, see, what I was weirded out, but what my friends are really weirded out about is that my boyfriend, my second boyfriend, he's married, and it's kind of like what I want to be is like be married but still have somebody on the side.
16:50🔗DrewYeah, that's because you can't tolerate a real relationship, Angel. You were so badly abandoned and being sort of sent out to foster care. There's a lot more here than you're sort of telling us. It's not sort of a routine family system that kicks out a child at 14.
17:03🔗GuestWell, particularly not when something's going on that's supposed to bring a family closer together like a mom having a triple bypass. And also, when you're talking about the one fellow who was upset and irrespectively because he had wanted to be on site for this occurrence, so it's a communication problem, too. I mean, do you get something from all three of these goings-on that you can't get just from one?
17:30🔗CallerWell, the married guy, he's always there when I need to talk to somebody. I mean, he's very quiet to everybody else. He keeps what I tell him to himself, and...
17:41🔗AdamWell, he has to. His wife's going to kick his ass otherwise. Hey, Angel, listen. There's a ton of chaos here. I mean, just a ton. And you're really heading down a bad road. You're going to get pregnant, you're going to get something, some disease.
18:05🔗DrewBut also, you may have post-traumatic stress disorder. You may be trying to manage feelings and affect you're not even aware of right now. This really needs some quiet time.
18:14🔗AdamGet some therapy for the rape perpetrated by mom's best friend's husband.
18:20🔗AdamJust start there. Just stop. Just stop for like six months. Just don't do anything. Just go to the bathroom through your pants. Don't even take your pants off. Not even for number two.
18:31🔗CallerI like the advice. Get some help for the rape. Chill. Don't try to find love in all the wrong places.
18:36🔗DrewYou guys can pick these calls if you want.
18:53🔗GuestOkay, I'm 28 and for the last ten months, I've been dating a 40-year-old. Or I guess you could say dating. We're more or less like screw buddies.
19:04🔗DrewAs far as you're concerned, how about as far as she's concerned?
19:07🔗GuestAs far as she's concerned, she is not ready for a relationship.
19:11🔗DrewAnd by the way, I was going to say a 40-year-old woman pulls that off. Yeah.
19:15🔗AdamWell, she got out of a long-term relationship.
19:54🔗GuestAbout 10 years ago, she got married and ended up having a son from the marriage. Two years ago, her son, seven now. Two years ago, they got divorced. They went through nine months of counseling. He was not physically or mentally abusive. But I think, you know, it just...
20:12🔗DrewYou know, it's interesting. Was she to him?
20:21🔗AdamAll right. But what's the question, Mike?
20:23🔗GuestWell, we were talking the other night and she's used to sleeping in bed by herself. And I am too. But when I'm in bed with her, I sleep like a baby because I'm so comfortable and content because that's what I want.
20:39🔗GuestIt's not that comfortable because she has more or less conditioned herself to being alone. Ten years ago, her mother, for some reason, like freaked out and disowned the whole family. I don't know if it was drugs or alcohol or anything like that. And I'm kind of afraid to open that can of worms with her. But I think all the bad things that have happened to her are making her scared of a relationship.
21:27🔗GuestI mean, in my heart, we have never said we are committed to each other, but I just act like we are committed to each other.
21:34🔗DrewAs usual with these friends with benefit relationships, somebody gets feelings. Somebody gets them and then you're sort of violating the basic boundaries that you guys set up, established for yourselves in this relationship to begin with.
22:03🔗AdamAll right. He'll get his teeth in soon. Hey, Mike, my honest opinion is you got a handful here, and she's 40 and she may never be right. And I don't know if you want to stick with this and change her, because she's going to take some work and you're going to take some work.
22:21🔗DrewThat's right. And there's a reason you're going for somebody that's not available and that's going to need some working on. But women in their 40s, sometimes character logic problems get better in the fourth and fifth decades.
22:31🔗AdamWell, they're just waiting to die. I don't care anymore.
22:33🔗DrewWhatever the reason. And she has been someone who's gone to treatment before. She had nine months of treatment with her ex-husband.
22:40🔗AdamMike, why don't you just give her the bum rush of love? Why don't you just tell her you have feelings for her and put your arms around her and see what she does?
22:49🔗DrewMy suspicion is, Mike, you need a little Alan on work. My suspicion is just the way you talk about your relationship and the kind of just the sense I get from you that if you had that support of a recovery program you might be able to deal with this more effectively or at least help her institute change.
23:05🔗CallerI couldn't agree more with all that advice. To me it's a beautiful picture.
23:21🔗GuestWell, yes. If I do it too much it'll push her away. But what is funny is last night, her and I are members of a club in this town. It's not a sex club or not, my guess is just a plain, you know, like bar club.
23:36🔗GuestAnd she's like a social butterfly, talking to all her buddies and I'm going around talking to all my friends. And this girl wanted to bump a cigarette off me, so I gave her a cigarette. Well, next thing you know, we start talking. And then she, anyway, she saw me talking to this other girl.
24:20🔗DrewThat's good. You're recovering. And that also, I could bet 50% probability you had a parent who's an alcoholic, right? And so...
24:29🔗GuestNo, but neither one of my parents were alcoholics, but that is in the family history.
24:35🔗DrewThe point being that there's likely to be some issues that are pertinent to Al-Anon. You recovered from alcohol is great, but now you've got an Al-Anon recovery. You've got to put your mind to it, all right?
24:45🔗AdamMike, you tell her, honey, just listen to me. You tell her, look, you're 40. You've got a seven-year-old with no daddy, and you drive an 87 Voyager with Bondo all over the passenger side door. Where are you going? You're not doing any better than this. I'm 28, and I got potential. So that's it. Tell her to crap or get off the pot. I don't know why he's pushing so hard for this. This just sounds like a huge project. He should just rebuild the Hindenburg out of the toilet paper or something.
25:15🔗DrewIf we're in this one, it'll be another one. All right.
25:19🔗AdamWe'll take a little break. Robert Downey Jr. is here, also Anthony Kiedis, and we'll be back to give you all the particulars from the... Well, Drew, you want to just point at the paper?
25:30🔗DrewLet's see you bring it on the way out. Remember, it's this. Yeah.
25:33🔗AdamWell, what's this goddamn thing in front of your mouth?
25:37🔗DrewIf I so much as speak, when you're in the middle of a roll to an end, you flip out. I know, but I don't have anything. You couldn't tell when I was pending to a break. Couldn't you tell? I was going to tell a joke. Can't you spell a joke? Well, then don't point.
26:07🔗CallerYou're listening to Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew on Loveline.
26:11🔗AdamYes, you are. Third Eye Blind, just one of the bands you're going to see this weekend. That is Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic Benefit. And Robert Downey Jr and Anthony Kiedis are both here tonight.
26:37🔗AdamWell, I was going to commercial before and you're pointing at the thing frantically. Now I'm giving the website out and you've got to jump in. Which is it? What do you want me to do?
26:46🔗DrewThat's exactly what I want to ask you, is you told me to jump in, now I jumped in. Which is it?
26:50🔗AdamYou're such an idiot. I'm going to play you the tape of the show, you jackass. Please.
27:17🔗CallerWalkers and Canes, you guys are going to be hitting each other.
27:20🔗AdamWe usually don't have A-list type celebrities on the show. We got the kids from some WB show you never heard of that's already off the air by the time they get on the air and Drew could care less. And he leans back and looks at his pager the entire night. But tonight, he's up in his chair. He's excited. We have celebrities in here.
27:38🔗DrewWe had three nights of sleep. We didn't work late last night.
27:40🔗AdamYes. And so I can't get my cadence right because I'm used to him just not talking.
28:07🔗CallerAnd Anthony, I love you. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are my favorite band. You rock my world. Thank you, Laura. All right. I have a question for Anthony and then I have a question for Adam.
28:18🔗CallerAll right. I want to know, how did the tube sock antics originate?
28:23🔗CallerMy version is different than Flea's version, but I can only give you my version. I was 17 years old. I had left my house. I was living with a roommate, a lady friend of his had a crush on me. I was previously engaged with my high school sweetheart. This girl kept sending me very sexually oriented cards and messages. Basically, she just wanted to get down. I wasn't having it because I was in love. My friend said, she's coming over. She's coming over to the apartment. She wants to see you. I ran into the bedroom and I got naked. I put a sock on my dick and came out to greet her, hoping that would scare her away forever. It just made her fall more deeply in love with me. And she continued to send messages and cards.
29:14🔗CallerAnd then one day, when it came time to perform live on stage in concert with my brethren, it just seemed like the thing to do.
29:21🔗DrewYou were so accustomed to it by that point.
29:23🔗CallerThey say that when you get into show business, you reach back and pull out every little trick from your childhood and you end up turning it into some kind of schtick or... Can you attest to that?
29:35🔗GuestI just like that you tell her how to do it. She goes, it's so sweet. I could have said, you know, anything.
29:42🔗AdamThat's quaint. When you're on stage jumping around, how do you keep the sock on? I mean, I know there's a certain amount of elastic holding it there, but is there any preventative stuff, some double-stick tape or something?
29:53🔗CallerNo, but if you think it's all in the balls.
29:56🔗CallerI mean, if you just put that over your dick, I mean, not everybody in town is going to keep that thing, but if you wrap it nicely around the whole scrotum, and then that's like in its entirety, the package is sufficient.
30:05🔗DrewAdam tries to push his tube stock garter.
30:14🔗AdamYeah, it's just a little alligator clip or roach clip and then a piece of elastic that goes around your back and clips to the other side and keeps it on. You could do it in a flesh color. No one would see it. True, this is not my invention. It's only for condoms. But I agree. Listen, I could stuff my balls into a trash can and hold it up. But the penis would not hold up one of those finger condoms.
31:26🔗Yeah, I am a phone sex operator. I had a client that was calling me a lot. And I left my boyfriend like three weeks ago. And I am kind of in a financial bind. And he offered to have sex with me for $100. And I told him I would have to meet him. And I met him tonight and I told him that I would do a hand job for $50. And I did. And I have a really... I don't know, I am kind of feeling kind of sick to my stomach after doing it because I have never done anything like that before. I have a boyfriend who is in the military. Well, not really a boyfriend, I left him, but he is in Louisiana right now. And I am not really sure what is going to happen when he gets back the 22nd.
32:15🔗DrewWell, you left him, so why would anything come back?
32:39🔗CallerCertain people get addicted to the kind of rush of their boyfriends beating them up.
32:43🔗DrewYeah, you can conceptualize addiction, it really is a sort of a compulsion. That's what they're attracted to and that's who they are as a person that's attracted to that kind of person and that's just what love is to them.
32:57🔗DrewAnd it really ultimately is trying to resolve the problems of having been abused by dad when he was growing up.
33:03🔗My dad never really hit me, but he was verbally abusive. I was always really, you know, the kind of child that whose father would holler and I'd be like in the corner, you know, covering my head. I mean, he would never physically lay his hands on me, but...
33:35🔗GuestAnd you know, there's some guy on like a military base in Gary, Indiana somewhere now saying that his girl who's a phone sex operator was until they broke up, just juggled some guy's dice for $50.
33:55🔗AdamHey, Debbie, I got a whole bunch of... first off, man, what's going wrong here, baby? I mean, what's up?
34:02🔗I don't know. I've been getting... since I've been doing the phone sex, I've been doing it for nine months, and it seems like I've been getting more freakier in bed as...
34:10🔗AdamBut you're 32 years old. You haven't worked past some of this stuff yet?
34:15🔗CallerWell, I went through a really bad divorce. I was married for eight years, and I went through a bad divorce. It was a two-and-a-half-year divorce, and I married money. I wasn't really in love with them, and...
34:25🔗AdamYou married money, what? You just did a handy for $50. What kind of divorce? What kind of alimony are you getting? Nothing.
34:32🔗CallerI lost everything, to be honest with you.
34:36🔗AdamWell, if you're going to marry a guy for money, at least bilk him.
35:56🔗CallerUm, no, actually my mom, my dad was an alcoholic and so my mom was kind of like the person that would go around, you know, trying to make everything fine at home and keep peace in the family and...
36:21🔗CallerAnd I'm paying him child support and the whole nine years.
36:25🔗AdamHere, this 20 is going to be a little sticky, but don't spend them on food. Jesus Christ, this is a disaster. Do you ever just stand back and take a look?
36:34🔗CallerOh, actually, I think about, you know, killing myself all the time.
36:37🔗AdamWell, no, I don't mean to stand back and kill yourself.
36:49🔗DrewNo, this is not about being smart or not smart, but you do need to... Let's just focus on one thing. How about learning to read your attractions and to realize that the things that you call attraction is sort of unfinished sickness from your past, and then maybe things that are super attractive to you should be avoided. Just the way like a sex addict would avoid the web as an arousal mechanism that they sort of get going with, and it really sent them down a bad path. This is a bad thing for you when you get involved in this kind of attraction. How about going around with guys that are not quite so attractive to you, and if it's boring and if it feels uncomfortable, kind of stay in with it and see where you can go, see what kind of feelings come up, and see if you can tolerate a real relationship.
37:28🔗AdamWhat kind of a real nerdy guy and civvies?
37:31🔗GuestWhere you're bored is probably where the change can happen. It just seems like rather than hold on to it, you're calling in and feeling guilty about what just happened with this guy and the 50 bucks. I mean, that lasts 45 seconds. If you're still feeling bad, it's probably old stuff, honey.
37:47🔗AdamHey, Debbie, I rarely say this, but can you find Jesus Christ? I think he's in prison because that's where he seems to be found the most. Did you see Jesus when you were behind bars?
37:59🔗CallerActually, I'm not. I don't think he was in a bar.
38:01🔗DrewWell, he was never in a solitary. I'd be in solitary.
38:03🔗AdamFind like Buddha or Allah or who the Jews got going, Moses, somebody. Just find something, find some spirituality and just knock it off and get in some therapy and just pull yourself up and every other cliché I can throw at you. You're not stupid. You're young. Just go ahead and start having a good life.
38:23🔗DrewBut here's the thing. Here's the thing. You got to get it. Whatever that it is, that desire, that willingness to make change, go ahead and get it.
38:31🔗DrewAnd if you don't do it, this pattern, this slope you're on ain't going to change. So it's up to you.
38:37🔗AdamI don't know if I would even call this a slope. I think this is just a sheer freefall. This is a cliff she is sliding down. All right. Robert Downey Jr. is here. Also Anthony Kiedis. They are here to benefit the what, Drew?
38:52🔗CallerThat's Robert and I clapping by the wink.
38:54🔗DrewThe Silver Lake benefit for the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic. Its information is at www.silverliningsilverlake.com. Tons of amazing performers in three nights this week. Elton John, Sting, Pepper's, Aguarius, Amy Mann, and we'll be there. Third Eye Blind.

Johnny Knoxville, Night 2, Rosalyn Sanchez, Phantom Planet, Jay Hernandez, Lucy Liu, and of course, Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla as well. That will be night 2. And also, the tickets are also available through Ticketmaster. Thank you.
40:36🔗AdamAnd, Drew, have you been up to this big beautiful estate that this is going to be held at the first two nights?
40:43🔗AdamJust an amazing mansion up on the hill. I think it used to be some kind of nunnery or something up there. Yeah.
40:50🔗GuestAnd before that, it was, I think, some silent stars home. It's funny how they always have to kind of, you know, they kind of have to clear the air and get a bunch of nuns in there for a bunch of years.
41:35🔗It is a pleasure talking to you tonight. Nice to talk to all four of you. Great guys. I just wanted to say, my husband loves Loveline. I never heard of it before college, before him. And I'm a big fan of Robert Downey Jr. And I think very highly of Adam and Dr. Drew.
42:39🔗No, I wanted to ask Dr. Drew, I mean, just for fun since I got through, I would never think to call in. I love Robert Downey Jr. He's one of my favorite, favorite.
42:51🔗GuestI needed that after that last call where my name wasn't mentioned when they're talking to Anthony.
42:55🔗My husband is the greatest in the world, but Robert Downey Jr. on the list. Dr. Drew, I'm 25 and I am a fitness professional, and my husband is 27 and he is a tennis professional.
43:47🔗AdamYeah, I like how I put her on hold. They should do some push-ups with their brain every once in a while.
43:52🔗DrewIt's always a disaster. I think there ought to be a law that ought to release people to have children after the age of about 30. So you're fine.
43:58🔗GuestJust take it to her. So the gal you just had to put on hold is the one that really has high regard for me.
44:49🔗CallerOkay, and they itch really bad, and I'm trying to figure out what-
44:52🔗DrewThey itch badly. They're on the shaft of the penis?
44:54🔗CallerNo, it's all, it's like from, like the middle up, and I'm on the computer and I have not seen anything that looks like what I, like what's happening.
45:40🔗DrewYeah, Planned Parenthood San Diego is a wonderful, a huge-
45:44🔗CallerI hear they specialize in purple bumps.
45:45🔗DrewWell, here's the deal. As always, when it comes to skin lesions, people cannot describe it in a way that makes sense to me or give me any idea what's going on here. Anything itchy on the penis goes from anything from psoriasis to allergy to herpes, you know, to lichen planus. I mean, there's a lot of different things that can do that. I would need, you need to have someone look at it.
46:05🔗AdamGo to Planned Parenthood over there. They have a new thing where you can drop your penis off at overnight deposit, just a slot right in the door and then leave it with a self-addressed stamp envelope and we should get it back in three working days.
46:18🔗CallerDescribing the bumps, did you ever see that commercial where the lady's trying to describe the sound her car's making because it's not working right?
46:24🔗CallerThat's what it's like trying to describe the bumps.
46:26🔗AdamVirtually impossible and then you sprinkle a little weed and some booze and 70 minutes on hold and a double-digit IQ and now you got real difficulty painting a picture. All right, so Mike go down to Planned Parenthood, take care of that penis. We got to take ourselves a break. Anthony Kiedis, Robert Downey Jr. here tonight and we'll be back, give you all the particulars after this.
47:04🔗AdamWhere is it caused that Drew and myself are going to be a part of? This weekend, actually technically starting on Thursday, it's for the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic. There's just tons of big names involved with this. The money all goes to the free clinic to give help to people who really, really need it. And Drew, I'm going to read this. www.silverliningsilverlake.com is what you'd log on to to get all the information you need.
47:38🔗DrewSo the 13th will be out in John and Sting, the 14th Chili Peppers, the 15th, Higuariz, Amy Mann, the 15th, Higuariz again, Third Eye Blind, and more.
47:49🔗CallerAnd Becky, which is Beck actually in drag for that particular... Now I'm kidding, but Amy Mann, who's playing on Friday, December 14th with us, us being right out Chili Peppers, I'm a huge fan.
48:02🔗CallerI just have to throw that out there. Listen to that girl's records and I get blown away.
48:07🔗AdamShe is an absolute bonafide talent. And who's her man? Michael Penn? The man is Michael Penn. He's not bad either. Those two should have some like talented kids.
48:20🔗CallerThey might have tennis instructors for kids.
48:25🔗GuestAnd on the 13th playing with Elton John and Sting, Daniel L'Ennoy, who's just so amazing, has done all this soundtrack for Sling Blade. I mean, he's an immensely respected guy. And Deborah Falconer is also something else. She's actually my ex-wife as well.
48:52🔗CallerTicketmaster probably has bigger, better computers for taking.
48:57🔗AdamAnd this is a night to not only see a bunch of great acts up close, but rub elbows and do a little hobnobbing with the big celebrities.
49:05🔗GuestEveryone and their mom is going to be there. Sam Slavik, who helped me, who basically organized the event with the people at Silver Lining, Silver Lake, was saying just it's nuts.
49:17🔗AdamYeah, in a beautiful environment. I was there last year and it's absolutely amazing.
49:22🔗DrewLet me just ask, if you go to Ticketmaster, do you look under Silver Lining, Silver Lake? What's the sort of keywords?
50:08🔗AdamAre you done? Are you done? May have been it.
50:11🔗CallerWhy are you worried about the overwhelming pain?
50:14🔗CallerBecause, well, I was just wondering because I've heard that a lot and I've heard average size for a penis is six inches. Yeah. A little above that. And I was wondering what the correlation was.
50:33🔗DrewYeah, that could do a little harm. But again, it's not going to be significantly more painful than someone who's not a virgin. It could be uncomfortable for anyone. And in fact, we have many more calls here about it.
51:39🔗Drew16. And if she's ready for this too, make sure. If she's nervous and ambivalent about- not clear that she should be engaging in this kind of activity, it can hurt no matter what. Whether you're 3 inches or 9 inches, it can be a very unpleasant and painful experience.
53:08🔗AdamOh, come on. How about Weird Science if you're going back that far? I love that movie.
53:14🔗CallerI loved it when he would jump on the floor and start yelling, do me. Anyway, your recipe there for premature ejaculation was to squeeze one off 20 minutes beforehand.
53:29🔗CallerMe and my wife tried that a couple of times, both different ways, and I still got that problem. I don't know what to do. I heard I would try a different thing, and we don't know where to go from here.
53:41🔗DrewThis is John Candy from the Grave, isn't it?
53:43🔗AdamYeah. What's up there? You smoke a lot of weed, Charlie?
54:05🔗CallerBut breathing, it's all about breath. If you focus on your breath rather than how good it's feeling down there, just breathe in and out like very intentional breathing like Don't focus on your penis. Focus on the breath.
55:00🔗GuestDo the yoga with the boiler. Don't even worry about it.
55:03🔗CallerMe and my brothers want to know, because we really like blood, sugar, sex, water. And me and my brothers want to know, does Anthony take it on the other side now or what?
55:13🔗CallerThat depends on your definition of the other side. It sounds like you've gone to a completely different place than I ever intended. But that's okay because lyrics were meant to be interpreted as seen fit. I mean, are you talking about some sort of a bisexual or gay reference there?
55:49🔗CallerNo, that's all right. Hey, you know, I'm not against having a little sensitive criticism from Charlie. The other side is about something much deeper than, you know, experimenting with male on male sex. Not what I'm into. But if you want to visualize that while you listen to the song, you go ahead.
56:16🔗DrewBecause he's about to kill himself. That's true.
56:20🔗CallerI was just wondering if the new album that you're making, are you going to go for a new sound? Are you going to use that type of music that you use in California-cation? Do you know what I'm saying?
56:32🔗CallerYeah. We don't sit down and have a group discussion on which direction we're going in, or what kind of sound we want to come up with. It just happens. To us, it always seems like a natural progression from whatever we did before that. The more time we spend together, the more time our chemistry gets bubbling in the lab, it just comes out. I don't even know what to call it. It sounds to me like the next phase from Californication. It doesn't sound like Californication, but it sounds like a continuation thereof. We're pretty happy with it. It sounds good to us.
57:33🔗CallerIn New Yorkville, Toronto, yeah. And you guys did a show, whatever. And one of your friends hooked me up or something with the guest list. And I like followed you into the elevator at like 2 a.m. after your show.
58:20🔗DrewI'll be by for a vapor rub later. This is something we're trained to do is to point out to people when they're actually engaged in stalking behaviors. It helps them break through the denial about what they're doing. That's stalking. That is.
58:35🔗DrewYeah, it's a poor perception of boundaries. And they're always startled that you would perceive it that way. She can't imagine that. Look, it's two in the morning. You're following you to your room. It's maybe a 17-year-old, but you don't know.
58:58🔗CallerWell, I'm kind of confused because, like, I'm getting my life together. I had a couple of years where I was doing stuff that I wasn't very proud of and all that sort of thing, but I'm trying to do better now. And so I went to my doctor and I got HIV test and chlamydia and gonorrhea and a bunch of other stuff. And I know that I had chlamydia and I took the penicillin. I think the pills.
59:55🔗CallerThe question is, is I don't, I just actually, like a couple, I just broke off a relationship, but I'm going to have to say something. I just feel it's so stupid because I'm, I'm the girl that you would like least suspect that.
1:00:09🔗DrewAlright, here's the deal. First of all, the reality is that 50% of sexually active adults in your age group have HPV.
1:00:20🔗CallerAnd I heard like one out of four have chlamydia now in my group.
1:00:24🔗DrewWell, that may be a little bit more of a statement, but the fact is, this is an ex- let's just state that it's exceedingly common. So it's not as though that you are sort of-
1:00:33🔗CallerThe warts? Is that what we're talking about?
1:00:39🔗CallerYeah, that's just like one pill that I-
1:00:40🔗AdamAlright, so why even factor in that in?
1:00:42🔗DrewWell, she had, she, and this is the other thing I want-
1:00:44🔗CallerBecause I could have exposed them to it.
1:00:47🔗DrewBut Cindy, somebody exposed you to it, too, after all. Be fair. And this is what I want to get into, is that you have such intense shame about your behavior into relation to whatever it was you were going through at that time in your life. You were where you were, you've gotten through that, you're understanding it, you're sort of containing your behavior as you're finding sort of more meaning from other kinds of relationships. Why beat the crap out of yourself? You have something that most people your age have, all people that are very sexually active have, and people need to wear condoms if they're going to be with you, if they're going to prevent infection, and indeed if you're going to be sexually active with someone, they should be wearing a condom. That's basically what this boils down to.
1:01:22🔗AdamYou probably find a guy who's got warts too.
1:01:25🔗DrewI think that the fact that you are sort of coming more to terms with who you are and who you want to be, part of that is living with integrity, and I think it's, I commend you for wanting to be honest, because I think you'll feel a lot better about yourself, and you'll be part of this whole process you're going through, is being fastidiously honest. You need to be honest. So you need to tell people you've been exposed to it, work with them.
1:01:45🔗AdamWell, only people you're going to screw. I mean, don't get a bullhorn and go to a mall.
1:01:49🔗DrewNow look, go around the room here. If you're going to be with someone you're really into, and she mentions this, is it going to be a deal breaker?
1:01:55🔗CallerI think it's very cool that she took the responsibility to find out, and that she's at least addressing the issue of how to deal with this.
1:02:01🔗DrewShe is getting herself together, quite literally.
1:02:07🔗AdamYeah, but listen, Cindy, you know what you're doing? You see, you're taking all this guilt, and you're putting it on to your wards. I mean, what I'm saying is, is you, we don't, this guy doesn't have to know you got the wards from the 150th guy you're with. You could have just as easily got it from the first guy, and you think that because you have this, he's going to know about your past, but it's not true.
1:02:28🔗GuestIt also took someone who passed this on to you who didn't tell you before, so it's kind of like, you know, opportunity to stop that legacy there.
1:02:37🔗CallerYeah, and yeah, I totally understand.
1:02:40🔗DrewBut listen, but reassure her. Let's say you're into this girl, you dated her five times, now it's getting close, you're going to get physical, and she goes, I got to be honest about something.
1:02:48🔗CallerHow would you, as guys, how would you like a girl to...
1:02:51🔗CallerThat's right, if the girl I'm dating now had told me five times into the date that she had some sort of...
1:02:56🔗DrewYeah, no, no, not that you've been having sex five times, you're like getting to know her. Slowly building your...
1:03:01🔗CallerThere's no way that would have stopped me.
1:03:03🔗CallerYeah, but what would you, how would you have her say, would you rather just her be like, you need to go get teched or...
1:03:10🔗AdamYeah, just blurt it out over dinner. Besides, I mean, I'm all about BJs and anal anyway, so I don't even go there. I don't even know what that part is. What part do you get the words in?
1:03:38🔗DrewIt's a more serious issue over there because it becomes associated with anal cancer.
1:03:41🔗AdamOkay, but like I said, just like everyone said, be straight with the next guy. This is part of what you're doing and the part of the journey you're making in your life. And they don't have to know about all the shame that potentially brought you these warts.
1:03:56🔗DrewThis guy's doing handsprings because you're going to have sex with him, that's all.
1:03:59🔗AdamYeah, that's what I hear when I hear this. Yeah, this means yes.
1:04:02🔗DrewYeah, this means we're going there, right.
1:04:19🔗GuestThat's so high, bro. What show are we on now? We might do that at some point, yeah. We were going to do it last, around Christmas time, and things took a turn for the worse for me for a minute there, but maybe next spring or summer.
1:04:51🔗AdamYeah, I'll tell you, I'll take this moment to kiss Robert's ass for a second. Oh, yeah. You've obviously had your ups and downs in life, and nobody's, well, at least no one I know has turned on you. Like, they like you so much, and they like your work so much, and Drew, do you know what I'm saying? We've got a lot of people in here that have had trouble with addiction, they've had some bad times, and people sort of turn on them, like, especially if you do it a couple of times, like screw him, he deserves it, get rid of him, I hope he rot in jail. But with Robert Downey Jr, it's been like people are like pulling for you, and part of it is your talent, I think, that people really respond to. But I think the other part is your humanity that's maybe comes through in your work, or I don't know what it is, but people seem to really like you and really be pulling for you. And I don't know what that means to you. I mean, does that help you? Is that pressure for you?
1:05:51🔗GuestWell, I think it's better than having people turn on you for sure. I wouldn't know because it's always that part who are like, but we really are pulling for you, and it's really good.
1:06:02🔗CallerPeople are definitely in your corner.
1:06:04🔗DrewI bet it works against you a little bit, though, because then what follows in the heels of that is, we got a job for you right now. We'd like you to, and boom, you're back at work before we have a chance to get focused on you.
1:06:13🔗GuestWell, I'm real fortunate that I've been able to, for the first time since I was 17, aside from the summer I spent in Corcoran State Penitentiary, it's the first summer I've had off and through to the end of the year, and it's been really amazing because there's a lot of stuff that I just hadn't really ever got off the habit trail to look at. So, all the support and, like you're saying, the goodwill ultimately has sometimes carried me along when nothing else seemed like it would have. And being able to do something like this, benefit honestly with friends and people who are like family to me, it's almost like I feel like maybe people are recognizing that ultimately when I put this behind me a little bit at a time, that this would be the kind of stuff I'd want to do just because, as we all know, when you're out of yourself, you're actually benefiting more than when you're being self-indulgent.
1:07:03🔗AdamRobert told me, by the way, that he would listen to the show when he was in Corcoran.
1:07:19🔗AdamThey're closer to Fresno. Listen to the Loveline over there. Yeah. That's why I'm always... And this is our core audience, by the way.
1:07:27🔗GuestI want to say hi to all the brothers who are doing Time. I also want to say hi to my friend, Catnip, aka Michael V, who's down in San Diego County Jail right now.
1:07:38🔗AdamAnd stay up, bro. And what... Now, what was you... What were you... Were you in for, like, nine months, did you say?
1:07:54🔗AdamI mean, was it a good... Did you feel like it saved your life in any way? Do you know? I mean, I know guys... I have friends who went in and it saved their lives. Because they were at a point where they were...
1:08:06🔗GuestYou know that I got out and then continued after several other little bits of... So for me...
1:08:14🔗CallerI can relate. You did that? Things come along where you would say to yourself, there's no way this person could possibly go back to using after that. Maybe your best friend dies in your arms from an overdose and you think, well, that'll sort of solve his problem. It doesn't.
1:08:29🔗DrewYou could say that if you've never known this disease. You know what I'm saying? People that really know this disease, it just makes sense.
1:08:34🔗CallerI can understand going out after serving a year and a half.
1:09:01🔗AdamWell, it's colloquialism that's picked up in the joint.
1:09:04🔗GuestBut as you know, as a specialist, too, and I think that there's starting to be a bit of a movement in that is that everyone operates at a different wavelength and you never quite know but it seems like the people have just been constantly saying, well, we're not going to judge this. We're going to keep doing this and trying different stuff. I think that that's kind of where things are headed is applying as many different possible remedies as you can for a given individual.
1:09:33🔗AdamSure. Were there resources for you when you were in? I mean, did they have programs?
1:09:39🔗GuestYeah, there was a TC therapeutic community going on there but I think more than anything else was, you know, some of it could be counterproductive. I wouldn't say that prison is somewhere that saves your life, whether there's a program there or not, it's inherently dangerous and degrading and heartbreaking. But, looking back on it, it lets me know all those times, whether it was times that I was in, I wasn't under the influence of anything for that entire period of time. But you look back on things, you know, the human spirit is so strong that you can, I think it's just important to survive whatever it is that you've been putting yourself through until it runs its course and then do everything you can to keep it right.
1:10:27🔗DrewSo another way of saying that is when you're done, you're done.
1:10:31🔗CallerI also find my experience is never give up on somebody else because as long as somebody's breathing, there is hope for that person. It doesn't matter how impossible their situation seems to be, if there's a degree of willingness at all, there's hope.
1:10:46🔗DrewAnthony and I were talking out the air about some cases that I was involved with that Anthony knows and we have seen some miracles. My willingness was not even a concept that some of these people could even have, but they were breathing. Barely, albeit, but they were breathing and they were miracles.
1:11:00🔗CallerYeah, I've seen the worst cases I've ever seen and they've come back to be clean and incredibly creative and productive people.
1:11:08🔗AdamWell, I haven't seen this kind of tragedy myself, but my TiVo cramped out like two weeks ago. Oh, man. Not for one night, but for three days. And there were times when I almost slipped.
1:11:25🔗AdamBut that's the point. I had people behind me. I felt their strength and their goodwill and I stayed with it. And with God willing, it's going to stay together for a while. One taped program at a time, though. That's the thing.
1:11:44🔗CallerYeah. You talk about that humanity, that sort of inner something that, you know, every human, every man, every woman can relate to, the kind of compassion that people get.
1:11:55🔗CallerYeah. Or in lots of people, Robert, you know, because we're talking about him right now, but my mom is very sensitive like that.
1:12:01🔗AdamBut in one more just quick ass lick before we go to overdue break. I don't hang around with real sophisticated people and they don't seem to know the difference between one guy's acting and another guy's acting, especially when it's on Ali McBeal. They don't know what guys are acting like. They know what people they like. Yeah. They actually think the skipper is trapped on the island. I mean, my buddies.
1:12:24🔗CallerWhat are you trying to say? He's not?
1:12:25🔗AdamNo, that's... Oh, I don't want to burst any bubbles here. But with Robert, it's like people who don't care about acting don't seem to know about acting. They're like, that guy is so good. And that is... I mean, it's one thing to have the critics recognize it, but the people aren't necessarily interested in it or too educated about it. To really...
1:12:51🔗AdamWe'll take a break. Let's go to the park, see if we can score. And we'll be right back after this. Hey, it's the Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew over there. Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kiedis are here tonight. They are here to promote a very worthy cause for the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic. And that's going to be a benefit that's going on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, coming up in the next few days. Big, big bands, big, big celebrities and a real good cause. And you can get tickets through Ticketmaster and you can go on to their website and just track them down, all right?
1:13:48🔗CallerI've had this question I've wanted to ask you since 94. And I knew that if I met you, I'd ask you this. I entered this contest with the Rockets for Coupon in the Stupor Hood, your fan club, that your dad runs. And he had this cover contest where he had to design a cover for the next magazine that was coming out.
1:14:12🔗CallerYeah, so your dad gave me this prize and said that I won, and you actually picked my design. And I just want to know if that was true, if you actually picked it, or if you remember it.
1:14:25🔗CallerI remember looking at tons of artwork that people sent in, and I remember commenting on all of it. My memory does get hazy.
1:14:36🔗CallerWell, I kind of took, it was a motif a little bit off of Blood Sugar Sex Magic, as opposed to Blood Sugar Sex Water, like the guy you called earlier.
1:14:47🔗CallerThat was Charlie, the guy who said, I'm going downhill.
1:14:51🔗CallerExcept for, because, you know, I kind of thought that was really sexual.
1:14:54🔗I saw something very sexual about the cover of that album.
1:15:10🔗CallerShe had shaved the Red Hot Chili Peppers asterisk into her cubic hair, and it looked hot, and you won. Didn't you ever see the magazine with you in it?
1:15:18🔗CallerOh, yeah. Except for, you know what? He edited me out. No, no, I didn't get the cover just because, you know, there's a lot of ten-year-olds in your club and stuff like that.
1:15:27🔗CallerYou were in there somewhere. I remember.
1:15:29🔗CallerYeah, I know, but they covered the good part. I can't believe how many creepy mails I got from people I've known.
1:15:36🔗AdamWhy are you asking if you won if you know-
1:15:38🔗DrewNo, no, she wants to know if Anthony actually picked it.
1:15:40🔗CallerI want to know if he really picked it.
1:15:41🔗CallerOh, I saw it and I gave it a full approval.
1:15:49🔗CallerYou see a lot of Mohawks out there, a lot of clean shaven, you don't see a lot of asterisks.
1:15:53🔗CallerWell, that's true. I had to grow it out for a month to be able to get that kind of, like- Get some real definition.
1:16:02🔗AdamHow much work is involved with growing your pubic hair though? Can you still hold down a job? Is that something you can do at the workplace?
1:17:05🔗CallerIt's really great to be talking with you guys. I'm also a big fan of Robert Downey Jr. I think you're really talented and I was just wondering what you look for, I guess, in a project. Is it in the script, in the director? What kind of aspects of a good movie do you look for before undertaking a project?
1:17:26🔗GuestOh, I see. Half the time, if by the time I'm done reading it, I've thrown it across the room and say, how dare they send me this crap, I'll probably wind up doing it.
1:17:36🔗GuestAnd the other half the time, I'm lucky enough to just follow my intuition and go with what feels like I'm supposed to do.
1:17:44🔗AdamHow much does stuff change? I mean, like, let's say you read the script and the script's sort of so-so, but you know there's a great director who maybe you've worked with or whose work you appreciate that's attached to it. Do you go, this guy's going to make this work? Do you know what I mean?
1:17:59🔗GuestYeah. Well, I think it is an exact science, but I'm not the type to want to spend half the day being one of those like really like conscientious work at work at work at act types. Usually what you look at what a director just did and if it pales by comparison to what he's been doing before, then it means that he'd probably like you to be involved in his downward spiral.
1:18:31🔗GuestBut I've always worked for a living whether I was selling shoes or working at clubs or as a bus boy. So I've just always had somewhat of an aversion to work until I start.
1:19:02🔗DrewPeople would not have taught that in this country. And it's a huge deal. But it kind of sounds like you had a version to working except you still have a version when you're working. Right. That's true. You have a version to starting and then once you're in it it's bad too.
1:19:23🔗GuestYou know you're going to go and you want to graduate and you're going to feel better and that's where all your friends are and it's what you're supposed to do. Right. It's just like, oh mom, make mine scramble. Mom, I'm sick.
1:19:31🔗AdamWell, my motto is decide what you want to do in life and then take a nap. That's my approach. It says nothing that couldn't be done tomorrow or possibly the next day. Kate?
1:19:47🔗CallerOkay, this may sound stupid, but I think I have sex wrong and I was wondering, because you're four people, you could tell me what I should do instead. I've had sex with three different guys and none of them all came.
1:20:04🔗CallerWhy couldn't you come if she was fat?
1:20:06🔗AdamNo, I drew was very cruel that way. I think women are all God's creatures and I will hump the bejesus out of any of them, whatever what shape they're in. I hear here.
1:20:28🔗CallerNo, no. I'm in Arizona. It was one of those things where you're at a party, you're kind of drunk, like, hey, let's hook up and hooked up and they didn't come.
1:20:44🔗DrewAlcohol can work against guys, and actually really any drug of abuse can work against sexual functioning. Some people find that they're sort of de-repressed, they're less anxious, so they feel like they're performing better. But the reality is it all works against normal performance.
1:20:59🔗AdamBut hey, Kate, what's up? You're twenty, haven't had a boyfriend?
1:21:09🔗AdamIn the span of this relationship, I mean, you had sex with them multiple times?
1:21:14🔗CallerProbably, I don't know, we were only going out for about three months, so I probably had sex maybe four times, like during the end of the relationship, before I kind of dropped him.
1:21:21🔗AdamBut he wasn't some guy you hooked up with at a keger.
1:21:24🔗CallerNo, but he was pretty wasted that night, too.
1:21:27🔗AdamHe was wasted the four times he had sex with you?
1:22:41🔗AdamWe're going to take ourselves a little bit of a break here. We got Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kiedis all here to promote a very wonderful cause, Drew.
1:22:53🔗DrewIndeed, it is the Silver Lining, Silver Lake benefit for the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic. Again, Ticketmaster is where you can get the tickets. Look up Silver Lining. The website, probably tomorrow when the traffic will slow down enough that you can actually get on to the site, it's www.silverliningsilverlake.com.
1:23:10🔗AdamAnd it's all going to a real good cause. So we'll take a break. We'll be right back. Yo, Loveline. I'm Adam, that is Drew. I just told Drew to go get Anthony and Robert. They are now in the studio. And we're here tonight promoting a very, very worthy cause. It's the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic and a big benefit going on. Three days, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Drew and I will be there on Friday doing a little MC work and Robert's going to be there quite a bit. All three days, wasn't it?
1:24:21🔗CallerI'm starting to get kind of concerned. I have completely just, I don't know, the thought of sex bores me. I feel like I've kind of lost my sex drive. I don't feel like that's normal.
1:24:32🔗DrewIt's not normal to be so without a sex drive. Is that what you mean?
1:24:36🔗CallerI mean, most all my friends are guys and I don't, it's not like I don't have the opportunity. It just doesn't interest me.
1:24:43🔗DrewIs it at the point where if you even look at people touching or kissing, it looks kind of like what the hell, what's going on here?
1:24:48🔗CallerNo, not so much that. I've noticed there is kind of a little twinge of like, God, I wish I still kind of felt that.
1:24:55🔗DrewBut it's an empty, it's a zero for you.
1:25:32🔗CallerI know. I do have to say one little thing, though. Robert Downey Jr., you have been just an acting icon to me for years. I really am just very impressed with all of your work.
1:25:43🔗GuestYou want to screw? Yeah. Hey, you know what I want to say? Six months ago, I was in the exact same place.
1:25:51🔗GuestYeah. And when you're in that space, it doesn't seem like it's ever going to shift. However, there is no external stimuli that's really going to prod it into a change. I did notice, though, when I really focused on myself, I know it sounds so cliché, mundane, and really put some time in of just getting in touch with really what I was feeling and really what came up and working with it and in whatever way seemed to be intuitively appropriate. When it changed, it changed big time.
1:26:23🔗AdamHey, Lisa. Yeah. Yeah, I think your biggest mistake, and I'm kind of agreeing with Robert or making his point again, which is I don't question it so much. There's sort of an ebb and a flow, especially with women sexually, where there's hot times and there's cold times, and you're in a down time. If you're not on medication, you're not depressed, and you're focusing on your work, and you're not in a relationship, then maybe just go with it. Maybe this is God telling you to put down your vibrator and pick up the Bible, and stuff that up your coos.
1:27:18🔗CallerYou're going to be all right. Like Robert said, it's going to shift. When you least expect it, it seems like it'll never pass. It's going to shift.
1:27:23🔗AdamYeah, and you'll fall in love and get that libido fired up again. Brittany?
1:27:37🔗CallerI've been with my boyfriend for a little over a year now. I moved in with him about seven, eight months ago and I noticed that he was looking at porn. Okay. Now, I don't have a problem with porn. I actually, I enjoy watching it with him. But then it turned into he'd start signing up for all these personal sites, like Adult Friend Finder and alt.com.
1:27:58🔗CallerRight, right, right. Well, anyways, and he's not chatting with these girls or anything. But why is he doing this? Why is he looking at? I mean, it's like at the minute I leave the room or I go to work, he's looking at it. Why?
1:28:13🔗DrewAnd when did he start getting momentum with this?
1:28:16🔗CallerAbout six, seven months ago. He said he's always done it.
1:28:18🔗DrewYeah, that's what I think. No, no, no. I think he's always done it. He just put it down for a while to impress you and he's getting back to his normal routine now that it is more comfort in the relationship.
1:28:27🔗AdamRight. And guys do this. I have noticed myself do this. That when a woman moves in, you feel like you're being infringed upon somehow and you have to clear your own space, even if it's within the same cave. And that's the computer or that's your porn. It's like a way of sort of escaping from the relationship and still being in the relationship. Don't young guys do this?
1:28:51🔗DrewI'm sure they do it. Please don't use yourself as an example of what's normal male behavior. Please don't. It may be what you do and yes, guys do that.
1:29:00🔗AdamIf you could wrestle your balls away from your wife for 10 minutes, you'd enjoy some porn too. She'd just tell you where she was hiding them. She possibly sold them at a yard sale. Yeah, hey, hey, Brittany?
1:29:19🔗AdamHmm, do you think he's feeling like a little antsy about living with a woman?
1:29:24🔗CallerI don't know, I don't know. I've talked to him, he wants to be with me, he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and all this stuff.
1:29:31🔗AdamRight, but doesn't it feel to everyone like he's sort of retreating into his own space when he does this?
1:29:37🔗CallerYeah, well, porn can be very obsessive and very addictive. Absolutely. And personally, it always leaves me feeling incredibly empty and a little bit distant from those that I'm actually close to.
1:29:59🔗DrewWell, I'm suspicious. I mean, if it's having consequences and he can't control it, it's something to look at. And there's something I think is important to understand about this is that it's normal to have a certain amount of momentum with these highly arousing kinds of stimuli. I mean, guys kind of get going with it and any male will get some momentum going in. And if that kind of arousal becomes compulsive or a way of managing feelings, you can really get going with it. And it's really about first and foremost getting a little abstinent of staying away from it for a little while and seeing what happens, seeing if the relationship can reestablish itself.
1:30:47🔗DrewBrittany, there's a website, the ncsac.org. Write that down, ncsac.org, which the National Council, NCSAC, National Council on Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity. And they have articles there about cyber sex and sexual addictions. You might sort of toss it a little bit that his way and see if it sounds, if he feels like maybe that's him.
1:31:06🔗AdamOkay, Robin, we'll try this real fast. You want to know if it's a good idea to get together with a girl who lives with your ex-boyfriend?
1:31:46🔗DrewHang on. Listen, the one thing about hair and withdrawal is that it leaves you with a profound sense of emptiness, like a loss, like someone you loved has died, and there is no medication, there's nothing that gets you over that. You have to stay in the program, stay connected with other people, stay with a high degree of structure so you can tolerate it because it does get better with time, but it takes many weeks.
1:32:07🔗AdamAnd you've got to get clean just to begin that.
1:32:10🔗CallerI also wanted to say to Robert that you've been such an inspiration.
1:32:15🔗CallerYou give me, like, hope that I might be able to do it.
1:32:18🔗GuestWell, I'm telling you that when I was in the space where you say you're at right now, it's so funny that you're wondering where things are going on, but you haven't quite put it down. I assure you, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you cannot even begin to experience how awesome your life will be. It's just a matter of time. Let it run its course and don't look back. You can do it, honey. I swear to God.
1:32:44🔗AdamThanks, Robin. Thank you. Alright, take care of yourself.
1:32:48🔗DrewGet back into a place where you're living in a structured environment. It's what you need right now.
1:32:51🔗AdamAlright, we'll be right back. Well, that is it. Where did the time go? I want to thank Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kiedis for coming in here and being just great, great guests, open books and sharing lots of insights and stories and really a treat to have you guys on.
1:33:19🔗AdamFor a very worthy cause, Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic and again you can check out Ticketmaster to get tickets for Thursday, Friday and Saturday or www.silverliningsilverlake.com. We'll be there Friday night. We will see you guys there.
1:33:56🔗AdamSo until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
1:33:59🔗GuestAs they say, out the gate by eight, in the spoon by noon, back again by ten.
1:34:07🔗CallerThis has been Loveline. The opinions expressed on the show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors for this station. The producer for Loveline is Ann Wilkins Dingle. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
