1:04🔗And we'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.
1:15🔗AdamWe'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. David Loveline, Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. What's happening there, Drew?
2:05🔗AdamYeah, it was quite an event, had a good time. Went there through Jeremy McGrath's people. Jeremy's having some arm difficulties, some muscle problems. Believe it or not, the sport's a little bit tough on the body.
2:20🔗DrewHe's not so young as he used to be either, I'll tell you. Can you imagine doing that at 30 or 40? Oh my God.
2:32🔗AdamThe guys hit their prime about 13, and then they get their first pub, and they're over the hill. No, seriously, everything just keeps getting younger and younger and younger. I guess I could have just said that once. I mean, there's guys out there winning that are 17, 18 years old, man, I don't know how old Jeremy is, probably 28, 29, 30, and you take some abuse because you're 40 feet in the air. I mean, it's crazy. It's a crazy sport. I mean, the joint abuse, I mean, the knees and the forearms, the elbows, the back, that's when you're not crashing.
3:17🔗AdamYou're putting on 250 feet in the air for each lap. It's crazy. It's just, and then it's whoop-de-do's and it's just, it's like you might as well just put your head in a paint shaker. It's crazy. I had a good time. It's a good time. It's got a little, got my buzz on.
3:35🔗AdamYou know, they took care of us over there. Cheryl Lynch is a publicist. I got us the tickets. What is it though, Drew, we've spoken about this before, the will call situation in this country.
4:04🔗AdamSo here's how the will call works. There's always 11 will calls and there's no designation on them. There's the will call that's under the big baseball helmet and then there's the will call that's over by the corner and then there's the one on the south side and then there's the one closest to the parking lot and there's one by the entrance.
4:21🔗DrewAnd no communication amongst these booths.
4:23🔗AdamNope, you go to one will call and you go like, hey, I'm supposed to get some tickets from them, Jeremy McGrath, I don't know.
4:28🔗DrewAnd they seem not to know that the others exist.
4:32🔗DrewNo, not even that, like you walk away thinking, geez, I guess that's it.
4:36🔗AdamYou decide on your own, I should go to another one. Sometimes they'll point you in a direction. You could go south around the stadium or north around the stadium.
4:43🔗DrewWell, at least you can always look forward to the security being a good help.
4:45🔗AdamOh yeah, yeah, so they never do this, they never go, first off, there's never any big number, like hey, here's the will call you go to if you're with a corporate situation and here's the celebrity will call and here's this, that.
5:00🔗AdamWell they do that within the small will calls, but you never know which one to go to. And there's always eight windows and two really pissed off middle-aged women who are working them, they're like Christ, I've heard every story. And then, so there's only two windows and there's like 200 people that are trying to get in and the other six windows are closed and you're behind, your line has 65 people in it and there's one jackass up front who's saying, yeah, I'm Larry Jackson, I'm, oh, you know you're in trouble when you hear this. Oh, well, try looking under Kierker pipes. I think they may have left us. No? Try FMF, FMF is equipment. It might be under there.
5:42🔗DrewAlways getting pissed off too, having a big fit.
5:44🔗AdamYeah. Oh, well, it may not be under my name. My associate, Bob James, try Bob James. Look, you should only get 15 tries before you just got to turn around and leave. Because I'm standing back there and I know I can get mine. But you're making this person jump through hoops and now they're pissed off. So they ran out of, we weren't getting tickets, we were just getting laminates, VIP laminates.
6:11🔗AdamI gave them to all my friends and I got the one, temporary one. Yeah. But the temporary one doesn't count for anything. So everywhere you go, you're getting hassled. And I'm saying to them, hey, I had the laminate, they just ran out, you guys ran out of the laminates. They didn't want to let me back into the pits, and didn't want to let me anywhere, and the cops were like hassling me, and it's a pain in the ass. But when I finally got through, I told them to blow me.
6:34🔗DrewMr. Big Shot, Mr. Big Shot. It's good to get you back in.
6:37🔗DrewGet your little humility into you again. It's nice.
6:39🔗AdamStupid Anaheim cops give me a hassle in enjoying hassling me, by the way. But here's what I don't like. I show the guy my pass. He intentionally hassles me. He's laughing at me. He says, no, you're not going through. I know who you are. You're not going through. I said, look, I got this temporary pass because they were out of all the other ones. What do you want me to do? Well, you ain't getting through with that.
7:02🔗DrewIs this the comedian hassle thing? You know, the cop with a sense of humor hassling?
7:07🔗AdamThis is just basic a-hole hassling. So, here's the deal. Finally, someone comes up and they have a list of passes and they go, yes, it turns out your pass does get you through. So, I walk past, I tell the guy, kiss my ass. Now, I'm the a-hole.
7:22🔗AdamWhatever. He's going home and tell his friends that Adam's a big a-hole. That's my point. Why am I a-hole? Just because I make fun of you after you screw with me. Well, these are wonderful stories. You just added five more, Anderson.
7:39🔗AdamAll right. So anyway, I had a good time at the Super Cross and Drew went to the after party. Got my booze on, talked to a thousand drunken people. No, I did not drive home. I had someone else drive. Thank you. Someone who was more shaped than I was. Corey?
8:00🔗CallerOkay. I've been with my girlfriend for two years and I've been trying. We've tried to have sex but my dick is just too big. It doesn't fit in her clitoris.
8:21🔗DrewNo, he's laughing. He's laughing while he's talking. I mean, it's obviously bogus, first of all, but the thing is he doesn't understand the difference of vagina and clitoris. That's pretty interesting.
8:40🔗Hey, Dr. Drew. I have a thyroid condition, and I'm wondering if you know what kind of meds I can get for it, because I'm a pretty small guy and I should be as small as I am. I'm wondering what I can do to-
8:57🔗DrewYou think your small stature is because of a thyroid problem?
9:00🔗Well, I know it was diagnosed in a hospital when I was 17.
9:04🔗DrewAnd you believe that is why you have a small stature?
9:17🔗DrewAnd what did you have? Ablation or what did you have done?
9:21🔗I was put in the hospital when I was 17. I went from like 130 to like 89 pounds in a week.
9:26🔗DrewI understand. That's right. That's what happens with hyperactivity. Well, normally the most common cause of that is something called grave disease. And what they'll typically do is give you some radioactive iodide and knock the thyroid out. Did they do that?
9:37🔗No. I was in a group home when I was younger.
10:38🔗DrewYeah. You need to see a doctor and get this straightened out. I don't know. You don't know what you're talking about. If you can't get any of the records from what happened to you, whenever it happened to you, then you need a thorough, complete evaluation now to see what is in fact going on with you. All right.
11:23🔗CallerOkay. I have currently been with my boyfriend for about two years. We started having sex about a year into our relationship and our sex life used to be great. Then we broke up for about a month and a half and now that we've been back together, he's not in the mood as much as he used to be and I don't know what it is. He says that-
11:46🔗AdamHold on. What's going on back there? Cash register or something?
12:17🔗AdamBut hang on. We got to play some Donkey Kong, bitch. Jesus Christ. People never get tired of insulting me, do they, Drew?
12:28🔗DrewWell, you've been a little crabby lately. You're easily insulted.
12:33🔗AdamHow much time do you think this Stacey logs on national radio shows?
12:38🔗DrewYou can remember these guys, though, kids that age, kids, young people are used to doing computer and phone. It's like, if you're on the phone, they got to be doing something on the computer.
12:44🔗AdamThat's fine. But how much time do you talk? How many times do you get to ask Dr. Drew your question? You really got to play video game during the part where you're asking the question. Do you know what I'm saying?
13:12🔗CallerWhat's going on, guys? Hey. Actually, I just need a little advice, actually. Okay. My ex-girlfriend, 17, and she's epileptic and she's allergic to a bunch of just different things, like just crazy different stuff. I'm sorry.
13:36🔗DrewOh, man. It's one of them nights, isn't it?
13:40🔗AdamWe're having, what have we taken, four or five calls?
13:43🔗DrewAll bad. Not bad calls, but all wayward.
13:48🔗AdamYeah. What's the definition of wayward? Lost?
14:19🔗AdamYeah, look up capricious, please. Yeah, please look those up. We'll go to the next call. All right, so Martin has to hang on for a minute because he used the S word on the air. Casually, I might add.
14:39🔗CallerMy question to you was, I saw in magazines how they've got penis enlargement pills. And I want to know if they work, and can they be dangerous to my body?
14:49🔗DrewWell, here's the first thing you got. What's that?
14:51🔗CallerI have two questions. That was my first one.
14:53🔗DrewAll right. Well, the first thing you got to remember is that if it's in an advertisement, it must be true. People cannot advertise if it's not substantiated in scientific fact. In fact, that's true of headlines. That's true of news reporting. That's true of commercials. It must be true.
15:18🔗DrewWait, look. It's total adulterated BS. Whether or not they're harmful, I'd be curious to know what they are, but I doubt that they would take that liability of actually having something harmful.
15:29🔗AdamIt's a sad and bizarre trend, but I'm hearing lots and lots of commercials for stuff to enlarge penises, and enlarge brass, and it's all done through a pill, and none of it works, and it's all nonsense, and it's not going to work anyway.
15:44🔗DrewOriginally, that was hair. I heard that was everything was going to grow your hair.
15:51🔗CallerOkay. My next question was, I've just started weightlifting maybe this last year, and a lot of my friends are using workout supplements like Hydroxycut and similar products like that, and I don't want to try it because the way I see it is if you live to be 80 years old, your heart's going to be pumping nonstop for 80 years, and you take all these supplements and it's supposed to speed up your metabolism, so you burn fat, but isn't that going to make your heart work harder?
16:21🔗DrewWell, it's not that simple, unfortunately. The things that accelerate metabolism probably increase the sheer forces on vessels. They alter the function of an organ system that literally lines the inside of your vessels, the endothelium. It may affect the health of the heart muscle, not so much by speeding it up, but changing the forces on it. So the conclusion is right. It's not going to be good for you, but the method, the reason that happens is kind of complicated. So, yeah, you're not going to make yourself healthier by taking stimulants. It's not going to happen.
16:54🔗AdamYour heart pumps two swimming pools worth of blood every 11 seconds. I like when people toss out crazy. Crazy. Like, I can't argue with you facts. It's cool, but yet I'm over it immediately. Do you know that if you took your lower and upper intestine, inflate it, and tied it like a rope, you could repel down a four-story building?
17:22🔗DrewYou know my favorite one? My favorite one is about HIV and Hepatitis B. To help you understand the concentration of one in the blood versus the other, if you take a syringe full, basically a test tube full of HIV infected blood, and dilute it in a quart of liquid, and then draw it back out and inject it into somebody, the chances of getting the disease is very slight, essentially zero.
17:44🔗DrewOn the other hand, if you take a drop of blood with someone with Hepatitis B and put it in a swimming pool, and draw that same amount back out, inject it, you're going to give the disease most of the time.
17:52🔗AdamNow, is the swimming pool filled with other blood, or do you just go down, walk down to the bottom?
17:56🔗DrewIs it Olympic swimming pool, or which hotel?
18:00🔗AdamIs it the Sands, or is it one of those little dives off the strip?
18:03🔗DrewOr just a little kiddie pool. These are always funny.
18:09🔗DrewBut the point that's a very inaccurate rendition, but it's trying to dramatize how dilute HIV is in the blood, so it's hard to get it, and hepatitis B is highly infectious because the virus is around. And I'm talking of tonight, I had a good night's sleep. What confounds things even more with HIV is that as the disease progresses, no, it's not time.
18:29🔗DrewNo blow, just some speed. And the HIV concentration goes up as the disease progresses. The virus starts being produced more densely, and you're more infectious later in the disease.
18:41🔗CallerAll right, good times, keep that in mind.
18:51🔗CallerYeah, she's epileptic, and I'm wondering, because I tell my friends, and they're like, well, Martin, you're a real jerk for breaking up with her because she has epilepsy, but I mean...
19:02🔗DrewWhen was the last time she had a seizure?
19:04🔗CallerIt was, she had a seizure on her six-month anniversary, which really, really scared me.
19:08🔗DrewBut so she has them like once a year or something, right?
19:33🔗CallerShe shakes and her eyes roll in the back of her head. It's real scary because I've never seen anyone have a seizure before, a bit besides her. I mean, it was just so, so scary.
21:45🔗AdamRight. Listen, Martin, sorry. Life's hard. Everyone goes through this. It sounds like you're a pretty decent guy, but you'd be doing more harm by living a lie. Yeah. All right?
21:59🔗DrewHer seizure disorder is a relatively mild disability.
22:05🔗DrewYeah. Bad, bad seizure disorder. But it's kind of peculiar that she's still, I mean, these days you'll be able to control most seizure disorders. Okay.
22:13🔗AdamNow, let's see. Who do we got over here?
22:25🔗DrewI wrote an article for TV Guide and I was totally convinced that, I kind of think Amanda's gay, and I was convinced that there was going to be much more gay action in this thing.
22:43🔗DrewBut why is she with those other three? There's just no reason. How dare you? Unless she's sort of...
22:47🔗AdamWell, she's with those three like they do the beer commercials. Since when you got the black guy, the Chinese guy, the Mexican guy and the Eskimo sitting around playing cards? People think, and as long as they're the same age, it's cool. Look, I like the brother man, I like the Eskimo man, I like the Latino man, but when I play cards, it's five white guys. And I'm guessing when a black guy plays cards, it's five black guys. Doesn't mean he's racist. Those are where he hangs out, those are his friends.
23:15🔗DrewWell, and these are, I can see why carry.
23:18🔗DrewYeah, right. Well, yeah. And it kind of, and even the way they've written it, they've written it kind of brilliantly. The other three, I kind of get why they hang out, but this one was like, what the hell? I started looking at it critically, I think, what is she in there for? And now this season, they opened with tremendous amounts of interaction with the same sex and homosexual stuff, and I was writing about this for this TV Guide article, and they write, TV Guide notifies me, not really TV Guide material. We can't really say the gay stuff unless we know that's what's gonna happen. Now I'm pissed.
24:14🔗AdamI know, but we should speculate on whether people whose names aren't the same as they are when they're off stage and have different husbands and live in different places. We all got to sit around and speculate about how the season's gonna turn out for them.
24:27🔗DrewIt's like talking about fictional character. People analyze fiction instead of true.
24:31🔗AdamI don't understand that. I mean, listen, I like the show and I enjoy the show, but I don't care who's supposed to be a lesbian unless they are in real life. I don't care who gets married unless they get married in real life. Even then, I don't care.
24:44🔗DrewIf something is really well written, it should ring true. It should be close to reality. This was that if it is close to reality, here's how it should go.
24:51🔗AdamDrew writing articles for Sex in the City. Man show is on tonight, by the way. I forgot about that one. Good times. I think we play golf. We got to take ourselves a little break when we come back. Stacey, who was playing with her Nintendo, she's going to have to sit on hold just a little while longer. We'll take another tantalizing call after this.
25:50🔗AdamYo, Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Okay, let's pop back to the phones there, Drew, and start earning our keep.
26:04🔗DrewAre you getting a pre-Super Bowl depression?
26:37🔗DrewYeah, I've been doing this show so long on Sunday nights that I can barely remember having those blues, but yes, I had them on Sunday night chronically.
26:45🔗AdamSunday night, when I was a student, meant Monday morning I was going to show up with some paper. I didn't write. Some homework I did not review or some studying that was not done for a test that was going to go on on Monday. Never, ever, ever did it. And it was always depressing Sunday night when I realized I was going to have to head back to school. Then after that, when I got into my miserable work, it was just a press Sunday night because a horrible, horrible week was starting. And that just continued. Even, even, even when I wasn't miserable with my work, I would just be miserable Sunday nights and I was always miserable when football season ended. Okay. I'm going to the Super Bowl this year, though.
27:45🔗CallerBut anyways, I was having sex with my girlfriend last week and it was our first time. I don't know, just halfway through, I just lost my erection.
27:56🔗DrewWas that your first time ever or just first time with her?
27:59🔗DrewThere is a, this is a hard thing to document, but apparently many men experienced this their first time out. And it doesn't mean a damn thing. It really doesn't.
28:09🔗CallerWell, we tried it a second time though, and it just went limp again.
28:14🔗DrewDoesn't mean you're going to have future problems. It's a common thing first time out.
28:19🔗AdamDrew's laughing by the way and holding a sign up saying Lose it. Limp.
28:34🔗AdamWell, was it really six? Was it two full songs?
28:38🔗CallerI don't know. We weren't listening to music, guy.
28:40🔗AdamYeah, buddy. No, I know what you're saying, man. I mean, when I'm getting it on, I don't listen to music. Wait a minute. That's actually the one thing you could actually do.
29:07🔗DrewOh, there we go. Let's just enjoy him enjoying his ass here.
29:14🔗AdamThat was interesting. That was a bogus call, but it had an interesting kind of twist to it.
29:20🔗DrewI was beginning to think bogus, because I mean, he kept pushing. You don't understand. You don't understand.
29:23🔗AdamNo, I didn't get that part. I got it. He had a little bit of a jackoff thing going for him because he was like, hey, dude. Yeah, he slid in like a Drew, sort of like a guy, Guy Dude Bro.
30:01🔗CallerOkay. Well, me and my boyfriend, I've been together for two years. And he doesn't want to have sex as often as he used to. And I don't know if it's something with me or-
31:12🔗CallerNo, I guess, I mean, it's not really, but I'm, for some reason, I'm, I always want to do it now, and he doesn't, he's always just like, oh, no.
31:39🔗AdamYeah, 19-year-old guys. Listen, all you 19-year-olds who are currently getting laid consistently because you have girlfriends, don't think you're getting laid. You're nothing out on the open market. You're nothing. There's no place for a 19-year-old guy. 17-year-old guy has a better chance of getting laid because he's in high school.
31:57🔗AdamRight. And you 19-year-old guys who aren't in college and who are working are really effed. You get nothing. There's nothing around for you. What's he do?
32:07🔗CallerActually, nothing really. We just graduated high school in June and he doesn't know what he wants to do. He doesn't go to college. He just works.
33:50🔗AdamOkay. All I'm saying is, is when you're 19, you use your energy to sort of channel all your energy. And it's too much stress on the relationship. Here's what I mean. When you get older, tell me if you agree or disagree with this. And Anne, you can chime in. Or anybody from the Peanut Gallery.
34:13🔗AdamWhen you get older, you can segment your life. You have your work, you have your career, your kids or your hobbies or your friends, and then you have your relationship. But you don't put so much stress. Your relationship can only hold so much weight. And you try not to channel all the stuff that was meant for all the other facets of your life over that bridge because it won't take the weight. Right. But when you're 19, everything goes there.
34:38🔗AdamAll the energy ends up in the relationship. And the other person's energy, all their energy ends up in the relationship, too. And it always folds because it's too much weight for it.
35:26🔗AdamNo. You don't do that. Let's go through the yearbook. Who's this dude? Who's this guy? Oh, right. Oh, oh, I see. Oh, oh, I see. You're saying just because his name starts with a C and your name starts with a C, he's next to you in the yearbook and you don't know this dude. Well, I don't buy that. Why would he be next to you?
35:49🔗AdamI don't know. He's like in the 11th grade. My name is Carson and his name is Coletti. So we were next to each other. Yeah. Right. Right. Let me look back. Let me flip a few pages.
36:02🔗DrewI thought I could handle this, but no, man, I can't.
36:05🔗AdamWhat is this? Have a cool summer. I'll talk to you soon. Mark. Who's Mark? I never heard about Mark. Yeah. Right. He put his phone number there. Bet you called it. What if we called him up? She said, I don't know. It was 11 years ago.
37:20🔗CallerI'm not going to partake with it with a bunch of my friends. I just want to make sure that I don't end up with a Jonestown situation.
37:26🔗DrewI have not seen any acute medical complications from Kava. I do believe it to be addictive. It's a GABA-ergic drug. It behaves very similar to Valium, Valium-like chemicals. I've seen some problems with Kava.
37:40🔗AdamWell, don't they sell that Kava extract at the dietary store?
37:44🔗DrewYeah, you see it here and there. It is not harmless. It is a pharmacologic agent. We may yet see liver problems and whatnot from it, but I have not.
37:52🔗AdamAll right. By the way, Jonestown reference was for Jim Jones, a cult leader who killed all his disciples via some poison punch. Yeah. What was his group? The people's?
38:22🔗DrewThe Bin Laden thing is such a cult. Having met Castro when I did it all, it all smacked of cult to me. So I started looking into it. I started thinking, you know what?
38:29🔗CallerEven the Marines are like a cult. Yeah.
38:31🔗DrewExcept there's no crazy leader and that's when cults go bad. When there's some individual who cast his or her spell.
38:39🔗AdamAnytime you're going to need a group of people to act as one and possibly give their life up for the name of whatever.
38:47🔗DrewYou have to subjugate the self to the whole.
38:58🔗AdamYou need that. I mean, you gotta have that. It's like, it's, you know, I spent all weekend watching football. You gotta put the same uniform on, man, because those are your fatigues. You're going to war and you're asking guys to put their bodies on the line and it's the same with the same with the cults. I mean, not the team.
39:21🔗AdamNot the Indianapolis cults. They didn't make the playoff.
39:23🔗DrewI understand. But the leader has his own needs that are, have become the diabolical source of direction for the group, so.
39:30🔗AdamIt'll be an interesting expansion team name, the cults, C-U-L-T-S.
39:34🔗DrewThe cult. I was just the cult. It has a little more rock and roll feel to it then.
39:39🔗AdamYeah. All right. We'll take ourselves a little break when we come back. Drew, where are you going?
39:44🔗DrewI'm going to go see if I can get some of these off the screen and get some nice new calls.
39:48🔗AdamAll right. Clean in house, but back with a fresh load after this. Hey, yo, Loveline, I'm Adam. Drew over there, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Oh, Drew's looking his chops. Wants to speak to young Veronica. Set her straight.
40:53🔗DrewThat was of the usual, the bouquet, which can really do some serious damage, but not with the same intensity, the volume. Does that mean something more is coming?
41:24🔗DrewLast time you did that, it was in the linen. We have this material wall to absorb sound a week.
41:31🔗AdamI know. It didn't have the volume that I like. But you know what? I'm not going to beat myself up.
41:35🔗DrewBut you know what? It's interesting. So really, it's three hobo power. But so we've discovered a unit of intensity. We have not figured out the sort of coloration.
42:12🔗Caller16, almost 17. And I'm only 14 and I just turned 14 about a week or so ago. And I was the first girl that he dated that was young. Like usually he dates older girls and like I really just need him back in my life. Like, but I don't know how to go about it.
42:29🔗AdamWell, hold on. How long ago did you guys break up?
42:33🔗CallerLike about a month ago, but like we stayed really good friends. And he says he wants like one night stands and he wants us to get closer.
42:45🔗AdamOnce one night stands with you or just in general? No, with me. And he dates a lot of girls?
42:53🔗CallerNo, he doesn't. He doesn't date a lot, but he dates older women and he was scared to get in a relationship with me because I was young, but it worked out really good. But I broke it off.
44:13🔗AdamOkay. You gotta figure that's gonna get back to him eventually.
44:17🔗DrewI almost want to get my wallet out of this one.
44:18🔗CallerWait. I don't know what to do because I told him I need to talk to him about this and I'm supposed to see him tomorrow. And I just really want to tell him that I want to be together, but I don't know what to do.
44:27🔗AdamOh, why don't you tell him? Why don't you tell him?
44:31🔗CallerWell, I've told him a lot, actually. Actually, he's trying to decide between me and this one other girl.
45:07🔗CallerWell, she only wanted him and he wanted her.
45:09🔗DrewListen, Veronica, I know this feels like right and novel, but whatever happened to you that sets you up for an a-hole like this, it's playing out now. All right.
45:18🔗AdamHang on, Veronica. Want to do some gambling?
45:44🔗AdamTo just never around dad. I'm going to go for the dad got divorced, not wholesale abuse, just doesn't seem interested. She sees him once in a while, not that interested, he gives her the feeling he could care less. He doesn't even know he has a daughter really. He may even still be in the house and feel that way. Just not around and not interested. Nicolay.
46:11🔗DrewTake a different tactic, captain of industry, never around.
46:53🔗CallerI don't know. Like, it didn't work out with my mom, but my mom's remarried now, so that's like my family now, and no one talks about him, and it's just plain, amazingly over.
47:01🔗AdamOkay. Hold on a second. Got to take a break. I don't know who won that one.
48:07🔗AdamYeah, I like that riff. Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. That's Pennywise and the phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. All right, we did a little gambling on 14-year-old Veronica, who's just 14, dating a guy who's like 17. He's thinking about a 21-year-old. Veronica's self-esteem is just not where it should be.
48:32🔗DrewAnd he wants to have a one-night stand with her. What does he call it, like friends with benefit kind of thing?
48:38🔗AdamAnd she's obsessed. And hey, Veronica, I'm sorry your dad abandoned you and left you with all these horrible, horrible feelings. He's a horrible guy. Don't ever try to make amends with him unless he comes back on bended knees. But you're taking all that energy and you're pouring it into this guy.
48:59🔗DrewYou're trying to find a guy like dear old Dag, which of course, understandable, you love Dad. But.
49:04🔗CallerWell, no, because I had relationships before where I thought I loved him. But like, I know that I really want him back now.
49:10🔗DrewYeah. Well, that's what you thought. If we had talked to you during one of those previous relationships, you would have said the same thing. And the fact is, you're really trying to reconnect with the unavailable. That's the mission here is to find someone who I can't have and try to have him. Because that's what your life has been with Matt, with your dad.
49:27🔗CallerNo, but like, none before, like, No, but no, but forget it.
49:30🔗AdamWell, look, I'll get this to ask him if he wants to get back together.
49:34🔗AdamBut if he says anything but yes, you've got to move on, right?
49:37🔗CallerWell, I tried, but like, he says he's trying to decide now, but he didn't want to.
49:40🔗DrewWell, that was something other than yes.
49:42🔗AdamYou tried. It didn't work. How about you moving on with your life, then?
49:46🔗DrewThat's called going for somebody who's not available. Well, here's- That's not normal.
49:51🔗AdamHere's the question, Veronica. What do you want us to say? There's a guy who you claim to be in love with, yet he doesn't really want to be in a relationship with you. So what's the issue? Oh, he does.
50:03🔗CallerI know he does, but he's trying to decide between me and her.
50:06🔗DrewYeah, you know he does, but- He doesn't know he does.
50:10🔗AdamWho's going to tell him he does? Should I tell him?
50:13🔗CallerWell, I've been telling him, but he says, well, what about her? And I was like, well, why don't you just leave her alone?
50:19🔗AdamWhere were these guys, by the way? Where did the guys get the balls at age 17 to- Well, babe, I got a 17-year-old who's pretty hot. And she wants me to. 21-year-old. Yeah, 21. Yeah, I mean, we could get back together. But what about her? What about Alicia? She's hot. She's 21.
50:36🔗AdamYeah, I mean, really? Can he really have these open discussions about what about her? I mean, can he just, I mean, you know, don't you just do that? I got a few things to sort out. Let me get back to you.
50:46🔗DrewYeah, this is not what about her. This is, I told you, I can't get in a relationship. What about her?
50:51🔗AdamVeronica, Veronica, Veronica. There's nothing we can do to talk you out of this. Everybody who's listening understands what's going on with you. Many of us have been there before. And it's almost a rite of passage. It's just something you have to get through. But she's not. We're telling you the truth. You're not accepting the truth. You're not accepting the truth from him, which you want to get back in a relationship. And he doesn't. And by the way, that part about you breaking up with him, I'm not so sure about that part.
51:23🔗DrewWe? Yeah, probably she broke it off finally because he became so ridiculously abusive towards her. You know, it was so ungratifying that she finally said, screw you.
51:31🔗AdamYou can't just find a nice 15-year-old dude who's going to love you back.
51:36🔗CallerWell, I've dated a bunch of guys, but it's like they're not like everything I want.
51:40🔗AdamRight. This guy's everything you'd want in a man, right?
51:43🔗CallerWell, no, thinking he's going to go out with this angel girl. And she just, like, bothers me.
51:49🔗AdamOkay. All right. Hey, baby. Look, there's nothing we can do. Here's the deal. Don't get pregnant.
52:04🔗AdamOkay. Listen. Hey, Veronica, you're not going to listen to a goddamn thing I tell you. Here's what I'm on. Damage Patrol with you. Just don't get pregnant. Do not get pregnant. And don't get any venereal diseases. And don't kill yourself. And if you can accomplish those three simple goals and make it to 18, you'll be way ahead of where I fear you'll be. Listen, talking to Veronica about not going out with this guy is like you talking to your cat when you're taking it to the vet.
52:51🔗AdamFrom Veronica. Yeah. But here's my point. At this point, it's not even worth trying to have the discussion with your cat. Your job is to make sure the cat safely gets in the crate and go get a shot.
53:18🔗AdamShe knows about birth control. Just don't get pregnant. And just please try to get involved with reality. And again, if her father is listening, please just do the dignified thing and fall on a barbecue skewer. Please. Just take one of those barbecue skewers. The ones that.
53:39🔗DrewThere's a little more white trash we can give them.
53:43🔗AdamOnce you just cram like an M 200 up your ass, just blow yourself up that way. And all you screwed up, guys, when you screw with your young girls like that, they're a mess. That's it. That's it. Not only not only do they get horrible, horrible, neglectful or abusive daddy, but then they just get a whole life of idiots, depression and just world class a-holes, just prey on them for the rest of their life. So enjoy that while you're trying to get to bed tonight. All you guys who have daughters out there.
54:59🔗AdamBut you know what? I think movies get by. Some of these movies get by on being quirky.
55:04🔗DrewYou know what I always appreciate is when they're complex characters and accurate. I'm so used to BS and dramatization. I bought all of it. It made sense.
55:15🔗AdamYeah. But what about little kids wearing the same color sweat suits every day and the guy dressing like a tennis star, wearing the headband.
55:25🔗DrewWell, visually it was a little weird. Yeah.
55:56🔗DrewCarbuncles. They're basically like zits. Pearly penile papules. No, not pearly penile papules. There are various glands around the vagina that can get infected and sort of be zit-like. But if you get around to the rear end area, that's usually just folliculitis and carbuncles.
56:12🔗AdamYou get a little moisture. You get some hair follicles gone.
56:15🔗CallerSo should I get it from like messing around a lot like that with my boyfriend?
56:20🔗CallerNo, I'm not having intercourse, but like other things like oral.
56:24🔗DrewYou're having oral sex? Yeah. Herpes and things like that doesn't look like pimples particularly.
56:30🔗CallerBecause it doesn't itch and there's no discharge or whatever. I've seen pictures and stuff of them like going crazy looking at pictures and stuff.
57:11🔗AdamWhat is it about me? I'm not that smart a guy. I have almost no education, but I never looked at it and went, Oh my God, what is this? This could be a disease. This has got to be. That just looks like a zit. I mean, we've all had ingrown hairs and stuff, like on our backside or around our groin area.
57:27🔗DrewThere are two, there's sort of a spectrum that people fall in. There's people who have huge shankers hanging off their, What? Their Johnson and deny it. Like just like, what the hell, forget that, that'll go away soon.
57:48🔗DrewYou're somewhere sort of in the middle there where it's just like, whatever, if you kind of figure out what it is.
57:52🔗AdamI take care of it. I lance it myself. Listen, kids, you got something that's infected or ingrown or whatever, it's on your thigh, stick a pin in it, drain it out.
58:04🔗DrewThose kinds of that spectrum applies to most all of people's health care preoccupations. Some people come in with hangnails and they're convinced it's cancer. Some people have cancer, taken over half their pelvis and they don't come in.
58:22🔗AdamI'm just saying put a pin in it, baby. There's nothing wrong with that. My friends always did that too. That's common knowledge. If you can't reach it, get one of your friends put a pin in it.
58:43🔗AdamTook a certain amount of pleasure in that. Yeah, if my friend had a big zit on the part of his back he couldn't get to, I'd just stick a pin in it. Pop that thing right away.
58:57🔗AdamWhat's he going to do? I think it's weird not to. You don't have that relationship. How come no one has friends? You don't have real friends? You don't know what your friend's penises look like? No? Really?
59:23🔗AdamI don't know what goes on. I must have grown up in some kind of concentration camp or something.
59:28🔗DrewI don't know what the frickin Lord of the Flies was when you grew up.
59:30🔗AdamI had friends. I knew what they looked like naked. I had to pop a zit on their back. If the zit was on their nuts, I'd pop it for them if they couldn't get to it. I didn't care.
59:39🔗DrewYou're gay. This is the whole issue of boundaries. Some people maintain boundaries.
59:47🔗AdamHow are you getting to that zit on your back that you can't reach? We go into the doctor.
1:00:05🔗CallerWell, I was just wondering, I was wondering if I could get some tips for me on how to get dates from girls in America. I just moved here.
1:00:54🔗AdamBusted by it. Idiot who's never been out of North Hollywood. Listen, everything I know from London is from watching Benny Hill, you idiot. Busted. Cold busted. Thank you. Look at Drew. All ready to go along with it.
1:01:09🔗DrewNo, no, no. I was with you. How to present? I didn't step in.
1:01:25🔗AdamListen, I shouldn't give this away, but look, you want to know how many times I've been to London? Zero. Okay. If you gave me a map or a globe and you had me try to find it, take me 25 minutes.
1:01:39🔗AdamListen, I go, look, how far away is the airport from London? I don't know, 30 miles. What am I going to do? Argue with you? I don't know.
1:01:47🔗DrewI think you should have not told them the name of the airport and see if you could have come up with it.
1:01:50🔗AdamYeah. You're probably right. And the tames just say it just runs down the side. Whatever. Or, you know, say you left when you were eight. All right. All right. Well, we can't live in the past. Julie? Julie?
1:02:11🔗CallerI'm dating a 28-year-old and we've been dating for about a year and a half. Nothing serious. But recently I haven't enjoyed sex as much. Like, every time, you can totally turn me on, but when we actually have sex, it's not fun for me at all. I used to have orgasms. I can't have them anymore. And I'm still attracted to them and I like them a lot. But I just want to know if there's something wrong with me or maybe there's the age difference or something. I don't know what it is.
1:02:38🔗DrewWhat do you mean it's not serious? It's been 18 months.
1:02:41🔗CallerI mean, it's not like a serious relationship.
1:02:44🔗DrewWell, it's been 18 months though. What does that mean, not serious?
1:02:47🔗AdamI mean, it's not like a serious relationship.
1:02:52🔗CallerI mean, we can see other people if we want to or whatever.
1:02:55🔗DrewIs that the way you want this relationship to be?
1:04:04🔗CallerI want to have a relationship with him, but he wants marriage. You see what I'm saying?
1:04:08🔗DrewYou're fat. You want a serious relationship with him. He has said if it's going to be serious, it's towards marriage if he has a serious relationship. Therefore, it's like if A then B, if B then C, A then C.
1:05:20🔗AdamI mean, we're used to people sort of lying to themselves on this show. That's 14-year-old callers like we had a little earlier who think things are going to work out with 17-year-old a-holes. But by 21, you got to stop kidding yourself. So just to recap, been going out for 18 months, 18 months, not committed. She said initially she didn't want to be committed. She wanted to see other people.
1:05:50🔗AdamActually went out on a couple of days but can't stop thinking about this guy. So why don't you get in a serious relationship? Well I'd like to be in a relationship but see, he'll want to marry me and he doesn't want to get married yet so he can't commit to a serious relationship. Jesus Christ, where were women this stupid when I was dating? It's just delusional, it's like anything but take a good look at yourself or reality or just the complete fear that you may have to admit to yourself that somebody does not desire you. It's like you get a publicist so you don't have to look in the mirror and go maybe there's a guy out there that doesn't really want to marry me or is not particularly interested in anything but sex.
1:06:33🔗DrewThey can't, it's so foreign to many women that whole notion that they're feeling like well if he's still having sex with you it must be a possibility of something real here. He must feel something. He's just saying this because it's, guys say it's because they're assholes.
1:06:47🔗AdamHe's in love, he'd like a serious relationship but if he gets serious that means marriage and he's not ready for marriage.
1:06:54🔗DrewMy wife opened this book page and it was something about delusions women have about men. It says women believe that the reason men pull our hair and poke at us and make fun of us when we're in third grade is because they like us. She goes, no, it's because men are assholes. That's why they do this.
1:09:11🔗AdamDon't tell us. We're going to keep guessing. Because we've done this before. I don't care if it takes all goddamn night. Okay. Now wait a minute. Now listen, now help us keep track of this. Okay.
1:12:03🔗AdamJesus f-ing Christ. It happens every time. Okay. We're going to take a little break, and we'll be back with more guessing of Lisa's, it's not even her boyfriend, it's just some guy she likes.
1:12:15🔗AdamAmerican names, not ethnic type names. We'll get back, and you guys can start calling in and suggesting names. But it's probably one we've used after this.
1:12:28🔗CallerAdam and Dr. Drew will be right back on Loveline.
1:13:05🔗AdamIt's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. When we left off, we're speaking to Lisa, 16, wants to know why she sabotages all our relationships. She sounded pretty healthy. Didn't sound like too much. Age-appropriate behaviors, Drew would say. And then we became obsessed with the name of her new boyfriend.
1:14:59🔗AdamBut look, I mean, look, I know people and Drew, you make men out to be horrible in relationships and women to be saints oftentimes. But when a cute girl is 16 and in high school and in demand, she knows she's in demand. I think that that that flavors her attitude just a little bit.
1:16:09🔗AdamIs this student body president thing, like it sounds like a big deal, but in a way, is there an element of a lot of people just don't run? I mean, there's only a couple of people run, right?
1:16:20🔗AdamIt's sort of like when you see these senators and you see these Congress people and they're making a speech and you're going, hey, this bitch is ugly. Or this dude, he's got a bad comb over and he's got a lisp and he sounds, he doesn't sound that smart. And you're thinking, how does this guy make senator? And then you realize maybe no one ran. I mean, maybe there's no, maybe it's nerd patrol. There's not a lot of guys that are interested in doing it. Sorry, Drew, I don't want to take away from your accomplishment.
1:16:49🔗DrewWell, it's more like the whole is there. The opportunity is there.
1:17:15🔗DrewNo, I don't. I remember doing it. I don't remember the speech.
1:17:17🔗AdamA peachy folder in every locker. And Tuesday will no longer be... What's that horrible steak that they eat? It will now be Fish Stick Fridays. Salisbury Steak Tuesday will be replaced by Taco Tuesdays. I remember one time in the ninth grade, someone was running for... Some chick was running for treasurer or something. The part... There's two things I love about those student election things is the assembly, which everyone is so excited to be out of school, you know, just out of their class for it, but could give a rat's ass about who's running for assistant treasurer and all that kind of stuff. This one time, this woman, this little girl, she must have been in the ninth grade, she was... It was at Walter Reed Junior High. She said... She said, stand up! And everyone like sat there like, huh? Stand up! Everyone stand up! And everyone's like, all right. Everyone stood up and she said, if I could get you to do that, I could do it. And everyone's like, all right, bitch, now you're not getting a phone. Now we're pissed. Now I'm sitting down, I'm never getting up. And then the other guy, this is the guy I love the most, the guy who's running on a post. First off, if you're running on a post, do you really need the mic time? How much podium time do you need running on a post? It's always a guy, usually a guy who's running for secretary or treasurer or some kind of Nimrod job that no one really wants and he does this one. He's got to deliver the speech even though he's running on a post. So he starts with this. Even though I'm running on a post, you want to finish this Drew? I still need your vote. And I think to myself, really? Couldn't you just vote for yourself and it'd be a landslide? How are you going to lose this one, Doogie? How are you losing? Yeah, you're running on a post. I mean, all you got to do is cast one vote for you and you're in. Even if you don't vote for you, it's still a tie. You're in. What do you mean? You get no speech time. And you need our votes?
1:19:20🔗DrewAnd people are afraid of last-minute write-ins.
1:19:24🔗AdamTell me about how low is your self-esteem that you need our votes, even though you're running on a post. I always like that. I always just want to stand up and scream. No, you don't. No, you don't. Sit down.
1:20:21🔗CallerI recently dyed my hair red and I also dyed my eyebrows, so it would look the same. But I have black poobs and I was wondering if it would be okay to dye your poobs.
1:22:48🔗DrewWell, if you're going to get the red coloration, people usually actually bleach them white first, then put the red on. And the bleaching part is what can be uncomfortable and cause skin problems down there. Right. The red probably would be just fine if you did just the red. But you got to be careful. You can have sensitive skin be burned really easily.
1:23:06🔗AdamAnd it's not the kind of thing you want to advertise. I mean, you don't want too much publicity about it, especially if you're running for public office or something like that. Yeah.
1:23:15🔗DrewThe ice cube might be useful later after the burn.
1:23:20🔗AdamRight. Drew, didn't you and your young girls go see the ice coupades?
1:23:28🔗AdamNow, here's the question. Was her semi-bogus call, I mean, look, obviously one of her friends handed her the phone and she's laughing her ass off in the background. But was the poob the nature of the call? See, I think that was just a happy byproduct of a bogus call.
1:24:15🔗CallerYou had talked about a couple months ago about guys in their 20s who are kind of going through like a midlife crisis. My boyfriend is there right now. Everything that you said describes him perfectly. And it's like you guys said earlier, you need someone that 10 years from now to go back and say, hey, you're going to be okay in 10 years, but you just can't get that.
1:24:36🔗DrewThere's that book, The Quarter Life Crisis book. You can check that out. It's mostly, you know, I read that book and did some commentary on Oprah for it and I read it, the body of that book really is talking about depression and if he's depressed, maybe that ought to be looked into specifically.
1:24:57🔗CallerHe's finishing up school right now and he just like, he sees people with new cars, why can't I be there? Why do they have this? Why don't I have this?
1:25:03🔗AdamWhy can't I have things? Why don't I have any money? What's going on?
1:25:07🔗DrewWhat's his plan? Is he freaking out about leaving college?
1:25:11🔗CallerNo, not really. I mean, he's looking forward to it, obviously, for more money, but...
1:25:25🔗AdamI mean, I don't want to be unsympathetic, although I am. He's 23, he's finishing up college, he's getting a business degree. He can't do the math on why he doesn't have any money?
1:25:42🔗DrewIs there something, Lisa, that's troubling you in terms of his ability to be in a relationship?
1:25:47🔗CallerNo, our relationship and our communication is great. We're really solid. We've been together for two years, but I think, like you said, maybe he's getting a little depressed, but maybe that's it.
1:25:58🔗DrewBut is he starting also to drift away from you?
1:26:01🔗CallerNo, no, no. I mean, he gets cranky and grouchy. I give him a little space and he's fine in the day, but...
1:26:06🔗AdamWell, it is an awkward and weird time to go through as a guy.
1:26:10🔗DrewMen have difficulty establishing a sense of self and self-worth until they know who they are in the workplace. That's sort of how men are.
1:26:21🔗AdamAnd it's just tough being the low man on the totem pole and all those other cliches. It really just, as a guy, it sucks. Girls, you got your friends, you got your looks, you got your relationship, and you got a little work, you're happy. Guys are miserable. I was miserable when I was 23.
1:26:40🔗DrewWell, women have a much broader range of opportunity for emotional satisfaction. They're not as immature, quite literally.
1:26:48🔗AdamWell I don't think they base their happiness on their success, per se.
1:26:53🔗AdamWhereas guys, a lot of guys would think of themselves as a failure if they didn't make X amount of money or drive a certain kind of car.
1:27:00🔗DrewIn fact, you were just saying this last week, was that these guys that say that if they could only make a certain amount of money or whatever, then the girls would be into them.
1:27:07🔗AdamNo, no, no, but it's just, it feeds into that fantasy.
1:29:16🔗AdamYeah, it is really weird. Okay, but the point is, is he didn't name you Harry? Yeah. But he named you John. Okay, but there's people that are 85 named John. There's John Quincy Adams.
1:29:28🔗CallerYeah, yeah. Some names live through the ages, I understand.
1:29:31🔗AdamRight. Yeah, I know, I understand. I understand what Jonathan is saying and that we could have went for some younger things. And I said at a certain point, try to come up with some, you know, what are the names of the Backstreet Boys? Right. That kind of thing. Or what, you know, Jordan is one of these younger, younger people's names. Yeah. Right. Well, we had a few of those. But then it ended up being a name from the Bible. So, and the guy's name is John. Oh, my God. Does that please it? Look, can't people make half a point on this show? Do you know what I'm saying? Like, can we just get half a point when someone calls in with something to say? No.
1:30:26🔗AdamBut the guy's name was Dave, which is a million years old and ten minutes young. And his name is John, which is a million years old and ten minutes young. All right.
1:30:48🔗CallerYeah, you got in my aisles for the past two years. I got a problem. Um, I can't seem to get off a weed, man. Um, I mean, I usually smoke about three times a week and I just, I want to do something with my life and I don't want to keep smoking.
1:31:03🔗DrewIt's got to be kind of scary at 15 not to be able to stop.
1:31:06🔗CallerI know. It is. Um, like once something depressing happens, like my cousin just died and I smoked for about a week straight and I can't stop and it's just...
1:31:16🔗DrewHave you thought about getting some help with this?
1:31:18🔗CallerUm, yeah, I mean, I thought about it and I've called all places and they've been talking to me through some stuff, but I just want my parents to know and they really don't, they're not a part of my life anyway.
1:31:28🔗DrewWhat about just going straight to MA., marijuana anonymous?
1:31:31🔗CallerUm, yeah, if I can, I mean, that's a good idea actually.
1:31:35🔗DrewYour parents need to know about that. I mean, they're friends with you and just go to a couple meetings, get a sponsor and deal with this. It's an addiction. What you're experiencing really proves the fact. If you could stop, just stop. The problem is it is addictive in certain situations.
1:31:59🔗AdamWell, listen, something reminded me of last night over at the Supercross race. In the middle of the race, I always tell you to have this KTM, say a European dirt bike manufacturer to make these 50s. They look like they're bitching. They look like 250 Yamahas that got shrunk down. Someone hit them with a gamma ray and shrunk them down to the size of what a seven-year-old would ride. But when you see a seven-year-old sitting on one of these things, it looks like an adult on a 250. They have a race every year that goes around and around the track. There's like two laps and the seven-year-old who wins, wins I don't know what. Of course, my first thought is that I got to kick my dad in the nuts. There's no way in a billion, zillion thousand light years I would have ever done this at age seven. But the second thing that was a little weird is they announce all the little kids and there's like 20 of them and they're this big. They're like little pea shooters who are two feet off the ground, you know, and they're going around the track on these things. It's really one of the funner parts of the night. And there's one guy, the announcer is like, Zach Johnson over here, who's riding in a place of his friend who passed away a week ago, he just kind of glossed over it. It was like a little bit weird, like this seven-year-old died a week ago and I said to the guy who was standing next to me, my headphones went out, but anyway, I said to the guy next to me, I know this little seven-year-old, I know what he did. It was like, Johnny's dead?
1:33:47🔗AdamWe really know like what, we knew the guy from the circuit or something. All right. So God knows what happened to this kid. Probably end out or something. We'll be back.
1:33:57🔗CallerOkay. So I know there's nothing wrong with me. So what's up?
1:33:59🔗CallerI was like you and I used to think that these datelines were totally cheesy. Why can't I meet anybody?
1:34:03🔗CallerBut I tried everything else and thought, what the hell?
1:34:05🔗CallerSo I called the dateline and actually met a cool guy. I called the dateline and I hooked up with some cool people.
1:34:09🔗CallerBelieve it or not, other normal people are out there looking too.
1:34:51🔗AdamHey, Loveline, all right. Drew, a nice fart going here, so it couldn't be a better time to end the show. So tomorrow night, that AD show? No.
