0:55🔗VoiceoverGet an adult audience. Listener discretion is advised.
1:08🔗VoiceoverAdam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.
1:14🔗VoiceoverHey, Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Happy Martin Luther King Day.
1:24🔗DrewYou know, radio interrupting our conversation yet again.
1:27🔗AdamYeah, we're having a very spirited conversation about shaving cream before the mics heated up. And we're not going to dedicate the night to Martin Luther King because we rarely dedicate the night to anything. But I did have an experience this weekend that I wanted to relate to the listeners. There's a good sign of what I would call race relations in this fair city, state, and country of ours. I was told that the super cross race this weekend, the super cross race, you're not going to find any more white people than out at Anaheim in Southern California at a super cross race.
2:11🔗DrewInteresting, I talked to a couple of patients this morning who were still hung over. I didn't realize, I didn't realize there was such a ritual of intoxication plus super cross.
2:20🔗DrewYeah. Apparently that's some sort of requisite.
2:22🔗AdamFolks like to booze it up pretty good over there. And there's 45,000 people at the Edison field or the big A's we used to know it. And the 45,000, I'd say 13 black people and that's security. No, I, I'd say seriously, I mean, it's just one of these things you'd, you'd find more blacks at the opera than you would at the super cross race. Just doesn't exist. It's not out there. They've never been a black writer. I don't think I never closed your eyes. You're besides there will be, there will be, but, but I'll calm down. Drew thinking, what can I say? What's the right thing to say?
3:06🔗DrewNo, not the right thing. It's like the reason it hasn't been, haven't heard one, because there hasn't been one yet.
3:10🔗AdamWell, no, but if you remember in the movie Earthquake, the guy Richard Roundtree rode a stunt dirt bike. Remember that? Did the loop the loop? That's the only time I've seen a black guy on a dirt bike. But the point is, is there is one black rider, and he rides in the 125 class, which is just under the 250s. It's kind of the minor leagues, it's the 250s kind of the big event, and the 125 guys ride that for a few years and make their way up if they're any good. This guy is a 17-year-old phenom, and he's the Tiger Woods of Supercross, except for this guy is not half Asian, he's just pure black. And he seems like a nice enough guy, he's a young kid, 17 years old, and he's a good rider. And in the 125 main event, this guy started by getting the whole shot, as they say. He was out front. They basically, they all line up, they got about 22 riders, and they all take off when the gate drops, and they all funnel into one corner, and it's a little bit hectic, as you could imagine, after a 400-foot straightaway. And this guy was in the lead, but wiped out right on that first corner when all the traffic hit and went down. Well, he got back up and he was in last place, because everyone had gone past him. And this guy weaved or wove his way through the path. And he was basically passing a rider or two each lap. It was, I don't know, a 15, 16-lap race. It's tough to pass. I mean, you know, if you can make up two or three positions, you're doing pretty good. Well, this guy, you know, halfway into it, it made his way to, you know, 10th, 11th place out of the 22 riders. And in the crowd, 45,000 white people and not just, you know, these aren't what you call left-wing liberal folks at these things. It's just a bunch of F-250 pickup trucks with lift kits and, you know, gun racks and bumper stickers that say, God Guts and Guns made this country free and Sierra Club take a hike to hell. I mean, these guys, this is as much redneck as you got in Southern California. Wouldn't you say, Drew?
5:51🔗AdamNot many Democrats are, like I said, left-wing types in this group. The crowd is going nuts for this guy. Each time he passes somebody, and with each lap, and as he gets closer to the front of the pack, the crowd is going more and more crazy. Well, he basically runs out of time and gets second. Had there been another lap or two, the way this guy was going, he would have went from last to first, which is pretty well unheard of. And the guy was a good racer. Now, he was the only black guy who has ever been in Supercross, as far as I know, and certainly the only black guy out on the track with 21 other white racers, and the entire crowd of 45,000 white people was going nuts for this guy. And when he got up on the podium at the end, he got second place, and he got a louder ovation than the guy who got first place. And I thought, well, that's pretty good. I mean, that's not... I know there's a lot of talk of racism in this country and how it's still so prevalent and it still exists. But I'll tell you, if you're out at the Supercross Race Saturday night, you would have seen that things have come quite a ways. And I'll bet you 30 years ago, this guy would have been dodging sniper shots out there, rather than having an entire 45,000 group of white people cheering him on. So I thought that was a very telling point. And it's the kind of thing I wish the Al Sharptons and the Jesse Jacks's of the world would experience, or open themselves to experience, would be a better way to put it. I'm not sure about the blacks.
7:28🔗OK. When I was born, at least is what I was told, the reason I say that is I've never even had my blood taken. I'm never sick. But when I was born, I supposedly had a hernia and it caused one of the old one of the boys, I guess, not to grow. Right. And one of them is about I said, but my left one's probably five times the size of my right one.
8:09🔗AdamThanks, JD. But that seems to be the general consensus.
8:12🔗But thank you anyway. And so I was wondering, you know, what? I was also told that my chances of of testicular cancer were higher.
8:24🔗DrewWho told you? Wait, wait, wait. Who told you that?
8:28🔗I was getting my physical exam for football back when I was like 14. I guess when I was like six or seven, the doctor actually thought I had cancer because my left one was so much bigger.
8:40🔗DrewAll right. You're getting this all confused, JD. I think what they were telling you was that there's concern that you might have an undescended testy that maybe the testy on that one side is still up inside.
8:52🔗DrewWell, that's the only thing that could put you at risk for cancer. Okay. And the hernia itself does not do anything to your test, though. Maybe.
9:02🔗DrewIn fact, I'd be suspicious that there's something growing in the other one. You have some sort of cyst or something that's making it seem that much bigger. And you only need one anyway. You only need one. Yeah.
9:13🔗I was also going to ask... You know, I tried to get through before, and I was going to ask what my, I guess, fertility...
9:19🔗But I just had my first child in August, so...
9:23🔗DrewBut you've got to check out whether or not that test is descended for sure. You should be seeing a doctor regularly in any event. And if the other one is bigger because of something in it, you should know about that. Maybe that's one that now has a hernia. Maybe there's a cyst or something.
9:37🔗AdamGo to the doctor. This seems like a fairly easy thing for them to diagnose.
9:41🔗DrewAnd if it's a non-descended test, then they're right. There is a risk of cancer.
9:44🔗AdamI know guys have a certain amount of pride in that. They get on a roll. It's like, I'm 22. I've never even had a shot. It's like, all right, but your sack's falling off. You want to go on in? And by the way, 22, most people haven't had any major surgery.
10:02🔗AdamWould you have your hip replaced at 19, gallbladder at 14, cataracts at, what, 11? No, you just sail through and then parts start breaking. It's like saying, I got a car. This car's got 1400 miles on it. Never been to the shop. I know it will. Don't worry.
10:21🔗DrewBy the same token, people have the exact same thinking as they get older. And when they're 80 and they come in with their first, fill in the blank, I've had this car 150,000 miles, never had a problem. What do you, how could there be a problem?
10:33🔗AdamI know people are always, they're mystified by that. Yeah, it's, it's now you got a prompt. That's how it works. Hey, when I was four years old, didn't have a cavity. What do you think of that? Shocking. Yeah. Phil?
11:19🔗Best Of CLL #1647About crystal meth, what does it do to you in the long run?
11:24🔗CallerI know that it can kill you, but I mean-
11:27🔗DrewYeah, it doesn't kill you. But it causes a fairly severe form of addiction, and you don't have to be using the drug every day to be addicted. Very often people only use three or four times a week, and yet they can't stop, and that's the feature of addiction. In spite of not stopping, increasing things happen to them as a result of their drug use. Most prominently, you get mood disturbances, memory difficulty, funny thinking, you get paranoid, you start picking at your skin. It can be a real mess, you lose weight, then you can get heart problems and strokes and other things. Over the long haul, the thing that we worry about most is it can create a kind of damage to the brain that's very similar to what ecstasy does. It tends to damage the part of the brain that's responsible for sustaining your mood and memory.
12:08🔗AdamWhy? What are you doing, Amber? Not you, Drew.
12:13🔗Best Of CLL #1647What am I doing? Like what?
12:14🔗AdamYou're doing drugs? Yes. I'm talking about your question. You're doing speed?
13:53🔗CallerA couple of days since like Thursday or Friday.
13:57🔗AdamAll right. I know this sounds naïve, but I don't know, 13. Aren't you a little more elastic or something? Like you've stopped. You can't just continue stopping.
14:06🔗DrewInterestingly, they are. The brain does function differently.
14:09🔗AdamI know. Well, you know why? Because when you're off something for a week, it's like being off something for a year when you're our age. Maybe ten years.
14:17🔗DrewThey tend not to have much withdrawal either, which makes it easier to stop.
14:34🔗AdamNow you're ripe old age of 13. It's time to act like an adult. Yeah. OK. So, Drew, what do you want to tell her? You got some place for her to go or something?
14:45🔗DrewI mean, she really needs to look into like an outpatient adolescent chemical dependency program. They're around. Sometimes they'll meet once a week. It's hard to find a 12-step program that will really suit a 13-year-old.
15:14🔗DrewAlla. Alla. No, I really think she ought to... And I'm trying to figure out how to refer her to do this. She needs to like check with her school. How motivated is she to do this, though?
15:24🔗AdamWell, I don't know. I mean, she kind of stopped. I mean, it's only been, you know, three or four days.
15:29🔗DrewBut this is... Somebody at 13 that's doing that many drugs, it's a bad sign. It is a precedent that's not going to stop. It suggests somebody that's going to have a lot of drug use and a lot of character problems going on. If they don't do something now.
15:51🔗AdamI know. But now it's really cold. It's colder. My mic is freezing. It's hurting my dainty hands. I never complain about it being cold in here, but it is cold.
16:08🔗AdamWell, the thing is, is, you know, why put on socks at 9.15 in the evening when you're only going to take them off at 1.30 in the evening? That's my thinking. Oh, Drew with the muck locks. I've got to get some of them. Where'd you get those?
16:31🔗CallerHey, I met this girl and she's married. And we just got to talking about some problems. I heard her husband were having and got to like in one another. And I don't want to break up their marriage. But then again, I don't want to stop talking to her. You know, that what if it doesn't work out for them?
17:25🔗AdamI like that. I always look up at them. You know what I like now? They put all that protective sticky film on everything. They never used to do that. No.
17:35🔗CallerThey used to have a chemical on there and they go to the sticky film.
17:40🔗AdamOh, cars used to have a chemical on them?
17:58🔗AdamSo they would transport the car with this sort of clear film on it that was just good enough to protect it to be transported, then they would wash it off.
18:37🔗CallerAt least back when I was 16. All right. You know, I ain't that far back. All right.
18:42🔗DrewAll right. So, Phil, never get a good answer. I know. You're in love with this or you're sort of in lust with this woman that you met when you delivered cars. She has a husband. She's sort of grooming you for her bullpen to bring you on to the mound when the husband, she finally has had an asshole of him and ready to kick him out.
19:01🔗CallerThat's the way it looks, but we both don't feel that way.
19:42🔗AdamIs she looking to get out, or is she just restless?
19:46🔗CallerShe actually said she'd rather her marriage work, but it doesn't look like it's gonna, because the way he acts, he doesn't act like he's interested anymore.
19:58🔗CallerI didn't want her to go into detail with all of that. She just basically said he don't act like he used to act, you know, show that he loves her or appears like he used to.
20:05🔗DrewAll right, well, what do you want to do?
20:07🔗AdamLet's get himself in a position for her to say that to him in four years. No, no, we get along great.
20:14🔗CallerI could see us married, and she said the same thing.
20:19🔗CallerI don't want to stop talking to her, but yet I feel that while I'm there, it's making it more difficult for her to maybe fix her marriage.
20:25🔗AdamAll you can do is you can use the Dr. Drew method, which is you can tell her you're interested in her. She already knows that, but you can tell her she's married. That's an obligation in a situation that you have no part of, and then you back off.
20:42🔗DrewIt's torture to both of you to do it differently. It's unhealthy for her marriage. Give her some time to try to give it a good shot, and leave your phone number, and let her know you're available when things do or don't work out.
20:57🔗CallerWell, we tried that once, and we called within two days.
21:01🔗AdamNo, but I mean, she can't call until she's extricated herself from this relationship.
21:07🔗DrewWhen she's done with the marriage, if that's the direction she goes, then you're available.
21:11🔗AdamYou tell her when she backs that meada off of his rig and is free to hit the open road, then it's time to give Big Phil a call. Say that. I put that in language you can understand. That's what's called metaphor, Drew.
21:28🔗AdamWell, the truck being a metaphor for the confines of a relationship and the meada that's traveling on the back of the truck and being a metaphor for a free and emancipated woman.
21:46🔗AdamAn open road, and she can get on to his truck. Where then she can then begin the complaining process all over about how he's not fulfilling her.
21:54🔗DrewAnd start grooming her bull pan elsewhere.
21:56🔗AdamI guarantee that is going to happen. Okay. Well, Phil, if you're really not interested in breaking up a marriage and you got to do that. And also, you're a 33 year old guy, you're single. You got a CB and a big rig and one of those hot plates that plugs into the cigarette lighter. You should be able to find somebody.
22:15🔗DrewYou were just smitten with that. The hot plate and the cigarette lighter.
22:20🔗AdamWell, whenever I would drive to Vegas, I'd stop at this truck stop.
22:24🔗AdamThe sandwich. And there was something called the sandwich maker. They got everything you plug into those cigarette lighters. They got fans and hot plates and coffee makers and tea warmers. And they got everything, everything but something that goes on your penis. Oh, that would be the smart. And that would be the seller.
22:42🔗DrewI'm certain these guys will figure that one out.
22:46🔗AdamWell, there was one called the sandwich maker. And I was interested in that. I want to know if it made sandwiches. I pictured a small Asian man inside of this box who would whip up a sandwich for you. Right.
23:11🔗AdamShe got caught ripping something off at Barney's of New York like nine months ago. She was she had a trial or something, I guess, now. But I don't know. I wouldn't call that it's not an epidemic, is it? No, no, no.
23:25🔗DrewIt's just something's been in the press a little bit.
23:27🔗AdamI would like to talk to somebody else. I don't deem that a problem. When we come back, we're going to talk to Matt. No. We'll talk to our mystery caller, our special mystery caller after this.
23:56🔗CallerThis is Loveline on 94.7 NRK. Loveline with Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla on 94.7 NRK.
24:18🔗AdamYo, Loveline in the Hizzee. That's an honor for the great Dr. Martin Luther King. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Who's coming up here, Drew?
24:35🔗DrewUnwritten Law and then the cast of that 80s show. Jeremy Graff, Joe Rogan.
25:00🔗Me and my girlfriend kind of got together under circumstances where she thought I was a virgin. I don't know where. Well, she got the idea from me.
25:12🔗Yeah. And it's been what? Seven months now and things are working out real good. And I think I might love her. So I don't know if I should finally come clean and tell her that I wasn't a virgin or it was she a virgin. Yeah, she was.
26:08🔗Yeah, but they all weren't girlfriends. Some of them were kind of one night stands.
26:12🔗AdamOkay. You're not going to see any of them.
26:15🔗DrewWhat made you lie to your current girlfriend?
26:17🔗Well, it was kind of like the whole plan. Like when we were at a party, I told girls that I was a virgin, that way I could hook up that night. Believe it or not, it works real well. That's like four out of the eight times happened because of that lie.
26:50🔗AdamJust who cares? He goes around lying to girls, tells them he's virgins. He's got four out of eight times. That's enough to get him in the Hall of Fame.
28:07🔗AdamListen, how do you steal sushi? You just do. I don't... That's an unacceptable answer to me. I thought, how does one steal sushi is a fairly legitimate question.
28:20🔗DrewI think she's talking about sushi. It's packaged, you know, especially...
28:24🔗AdamWell, see, that's where the problem comes because I'm picturing her going to a sushi bar and cutting out.
28:52🔗DrewThere we go. Heather, in my experience, in particular the way you're describing this, this usually is part of someone who's dealing with an addiction to something or coming off of something.
29:25🔗AdamOh, you put them? Yeah. Because I can picture like some... I'm not going to say anything. Bert, you talk to her. Bitch smells like yellowtail.
30:09🔗CallerI don't know. It's just like satisfaction. And I like feel really good when I'm wearing something new. Like, I like just wear clothes once and I like don't want to wear them again.
30:17🔗Best Of CLL #1647And I just want to get like new clothes.
30:27🔗CallerBecause like in the beginning, it was like, oh, my God, I can't believe I just did that. And now I like walk out with like five hundred dollars with the stuff. And it's like, no, it doesn't even faze me anymore.
30:36🔗AdamYeah. I was going to say, you know, when you do that, you know, who pays for it, we do the other people. But then I realized I don't buy clothes. So I take all you want. Burn the store down. I don't care.
30:58🔗DrewYes. I just think there's something more here.
31:01🔗AdamWell, let me let me get Drew. Let me weigh in here. You know what? The vibe I get from Heather. And interestingly enough, her name is Heather because it was I was thinking of that movie Heather's with all those just hot looking rich chicks who didn't have anything to do with their lives. So they had to sort of infuse some excitement into it.
31:24🔗AdamVery good point, Drew. See, we always come full circle and tie everything up on this show. Heather sounds to me I'm picturing some Deb type. Father makes a good money, but it's never around.
31:50🔗AdamAnd she's trying to... But here's what I'm saying. Everything in her life is taken care of. She's not worried about eating. She's not worried about money for clothes, for food, for cars and stuff. So she's trying to interject some excitement into her dull life and some resentment.
32:08🔗DrewI bet you. I get like sex addicts, something like an addiction going on here.
32:15🔗AdamShe said cigarettes, booze and weed. She's 17. What do you want to... That's not enough addiction?
32:21🔗DrewIt's getting going. It's usually... I think this is all part of the whole thing, getting going with the addiction.
32:58🔗CallerI think my dad was kind of a personal choice. He's really into my life, like sports and stuff. So he always gave me rides to school and stuff. So it was easier and he would have gotten lonely because my mom's remarried.
33:18🔗DrewBut I think, Heather, I bet on this that you've inherited that genetics. This just smacks of that to me. And that's why it's so rewarding to you to do these thrilling behaviors. Forget the dynamics that Adam, I agree with what Adam brought, sort of the reason. But the fact that it is something so compelling to you is how your brain's made up. And this is a way of this way of managing feelings, a way of feeling good about oneself and one that needs arousal in order to feel good. Well, what when one feels empty?
33:48🔗AdamHeather, why don't you rent that movie Scared Straight? Where those guys with the eyeballs that pop out, my other tribute to me, you know, since it is Martin Luther King. Yeah. Yeah. Seven hundred pound black guys are screaming at you.
33:59🔗CallerGive me your mother f*****g shoes. Give me your shoes. Give me them. Not so proud now, are you? Don't you eyeball me. You eyeball me, son. Here's my eyeball.
34:14🔗AdamThat's right. No goes on in the joint. You know how you know what happened to my eye? You know what happened? No, this eye came out.
34:23🔗DrewAdam, your three hundred pound black man sounds like Tommy Vue.
34:26🔗AdamPlaying Parcheesi. Got through the dice. One of them got in a scratchy corner and got infected.
35:05🔗AdamYou miss your mama, don't you? There's no mama in the joint. Only aunts and grandmothers. You think she should rent scared trains?
35:17🔗DrewYeah, I almost feels empty to give her recommendation because I know she's not going to do anything until the consequences are so severe that she has to do something. In the meantime, her marijuana addiction is going to evolve.
35:32🔗AdamI'll give her a little scared trait. Heather?
36:21🔗AdamNo, the black guy. That's different. How dare you question my range. What's going on? Anderson, we're playing back to back. So Drew knows what's going on here.
36:57🔗DrewAll right. But Heather, this is going to, I would strongly urge you to see some about this. You're going to end up like Winona Ryder getting busted and being in a world of unhappiness. This is the beginning of a process.
37:14🔗DrewThis is the beginning of a process that is progressive. This is not going to get worse. It's only until the consequences are profound that you would be likely to be willing to do something about this.
37:22🔗AdamYou don't want to end up dating male models and living in extravagant houses up on the hill and going to parties with losing all that with power brokers. Sean, you're 14. Me.
37:36🔗CallerYou guys are really going to play the Adam Boogie.
38:30🔗AdamWell, the negative is your side hurts because you were laughing your ass off watching infomercials all night.
38:37🔗DrewI imagine you can trigger panic attacks and anxiety. Yeah. Are you having panic attacks?
38:41🔗CallerWell, I haven't like, I'm just like wondering like if I should do them.
38:46🔗AdamWell, here's the problem, Sean. You're 14 years old. You're getting into hallucinogens. No, no, no, no. Wait a little while. That's the kind of stuff you're supposed to do in college kind of thing.
38:58🔗DrewNo, your brain, your brain is growing rapidly until at least 16. And the exposure to these kinds of drugs can, we believe, substantially impair its growth.
39:49🔗AdamThey remind me it's sort of, although I love this individual, it reminds me of the guy from the computer commercial. You've seen this young kid that got this whole campaign as a Dell? Yeah. He's standing there talking about Mrs. So-and-so, you should buy the Dell for your son because they all sound like him, except for this guy is sort of the nicer brother. They're the evil twin of this guy.
40:31🔗AdamAnd we'll. Oh, Ed is calling in from Monterey as a sandwich maker, plugs into his truck cigarette lighter. We're going to finally get to the bottom of that one. And we'll hear the millionaire. Millionaire. The Adam shuffle after this.
40:51🔗CallerLoveline will be right back, so get your problems ready, ready, ready.
41:49🔗AdamYou can't slam the music off. I expect me to have to stop. All righty. I'm like earmuffs and warm my ass up in here. It is freezing in this studio. When we left off, we're going to talk to Ed. We're also going to hear the I'm a Millionaire. Is that what we're calling the Adam Boogie? Millionaire.
42:14🔗DrewAll right, let's hear it. I have not heard it yet.
42:16🔗AdamNot heard it yet. Okay, this is the Millionaire, Adam Boogie. I'm going to say something amazingly profound right now.
44:06🔗AdamAnd you have that sandwich maker I've seen at the truck stops?
44:10🔗CallerWell, actually, I'm sitting at a truck stop right now, holding one in my hand because I've been listening to you for about a year and you seem to lose a lot of sleep over it.
44:18🔗AdamI do. Now, I'm picturing this thing as sort of a hot plate with a top and a bottom on it, like where you'd make a grilled cheese.
44:26🔗CallerRight. It's basically a cross between a waffle maker and remember when you go camping, they have those sandwich presses that you use over the fire?
44:38🔗AdamNice. And good for grilled cheese. Maybe put a do a Reuben type sandwich in there. That's nice. So what else do they got that plugs into the cigarette lighter?
44:49🔗CallerAnything you can have. They have frying pans and sauce pans and coffee pots and heating pads and food warmers.
45:23🔗AdamIs it roomy enough up there to get some sleep?
45:25🔗CallerThe newer ones have basically they're dual bunks. You have a bunk on the top and one on the bottom. Wow. About the size of a twin size mattress.
45:33🔗DrewDo you have a partner that you drive with?
45:54🔗CallerNo, these guys make less money that way.
45:56🔗AdamYeah. They just they just get themselves, you know, they take some speed and they hit the road for 19 hours straight.
46:02🔗CallerWith a partner, you end up driving less miles than you would solo because, like you say, you split it in half. But because there's two of you, you get.
46:10🔗AdamWell, it's after about nine hours of me telling high school football stories, a guy just jumped out the window. Man, who do you talk to, though? That's going sane.
46:28🔗CallerBut you're the billionaire. How about buying me one?
46:30🔗AdamAll right. For every trucker, I will get one of those. I got one for Jimmy. He likes it. It's pretty cool. You get 100 stations. All right. Let's talk to Tom, who's 13. Tom?
47:47🔗AdamWell, now it's all making sense because I'm sitting in an office chair and I have an erection. All right. When we come back, we'll try to figure out how Tom works it on this office chair of his after this.
49:58🔗AdamRub up against it doesn't mean anything to me.
50:01🔗CallerWell, you can tilt the back so that it's almost a flat slope with the seat. And basically, you just turn around and hump the chair, you know, rub up and down.
50:17🔗AdamYou lay on it after it's reclined? Yeah, forward, facing forward.
50:23🔗CallerNo, then the back is too high, but sideways to the monitor of the computer.
50:51🔗AdamOkay. So, Drew was right. I have no idea what you're doing to this chair, but why don't you start getting used to your hand because you can't take that chair camping.
51:01🔗CallerWell, I've never been able to have an orgasm before with my hand.
51:31🔗AdamAll right. Well, start using your hand. Let's go ahead.
51:34🔗DrewProblem solved. You're releasing him to use the hand.
51:37🔗AdamWell, here's what I'm saying. At 13, I remember when I was just getting started, you have no technique. You don't know what to do. And here's the danger. You ever see those people that tie their shoes a weird way?
51:50🔗AdamMy dad does this. He ties his shoe in a really retarded way. Only the Corollas could figure out a way, a slow way to tie a shoe. He actually kills time tying a shoe. But he does this thing where he makes the loop and he like threads the other side through. He doesn't do it in a normal way. Well, now the guy's been doing it for 70 years this way. He's probably lost five years of his life tying his shoes. Although he probably wears slippers these days. But the point is, once you get going on something, it's hard to get off it. So start working the hand in. Find a lotion you like. Sarah?
54:17🔗AdamYeah. And so you've gone abroad to London, where they don't care as much about that stuff. How about how about, you know, is this a good time to focus on you, Sarah? You know, diet, lose a little weight, get some exercise, do a little better at your job. What is it if you're going to attract some guys stateside?
55:15🔗DrewAll right. Sarah, also, you have some problem with intimacy that you could get. You could fall in love with someone that you don't have a relationship with and then as a result of that, not working out in some sort of idealized fantasy, condemn all relationships. I don't want any relationships. I can't stand this.
55:30🔗AdamI'm picturing the kid from HR. Puffin stuff.
56:14🔗AdamNo, that's not me. I mean, that's me, but... Oh, she can't hear that, Anderson? Can they never hear it? Well, they usually can't. I just decided to not. Oh, okay. Interesting. Hey, Sarah? What? All right. So, you know what you need to do? You need to exercise. And you need to not wallow in your own misery. You need to get out. You need to start taking walks. And you need to move a little.
56:38🔗DrewThere's something very, very wrong with your...
56:43🔗DrewYeah, you're depressed. And there's something very wrong with your sense of yourself in relationships.
56:46🔗AdamAnd it's not about this guy. It's about you. So what can you do? I don't know. Well, you're going to have to pull yourself up and get going. Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't want to sound like I'm an instructor at a fat camp or something. But I use all those cliches about pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps and all that. But you're a depressed person.
57:15🔗DrewTo establish real connections with people who actually care about you. You need some real relationships. And using their support, then you need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and do some things, make some change, take some risk.
57:30🔗AdamBut you can't pull yourself up by the bootstraps if you're 300 pounds.
57:34🔗AdamThe straps will break. You got to start moving. I know what it's like. Drew, you've been depressed. What would you say you've been depressed? 48 out of your 47 years?
57:49🔗AdamRight. And you want to do nothing. You want to eat and watch TV. And the only thing that makes you feel better is the thing you want to do the least, which is get up and move.
58:00🔗DrewI remember at one point when I was trying to make decisions about things, looking up at a wall, like a brick wall that went to infinity. Couldn't see the top of it. And I had to just go one brick at a time and just start to cry in a climate.
58:12🔗AdamOh, I think you're actually looking at a wall.
58:16🔗AdamWell, look, I know it sounds like trite and cliche, but you just got to start moving and sweating and doing. Just start doing stuff. And forget about this 19-year-old from the UK, for Christ's sake. Sam?
58:37🔗CallerI'm just kind of curious about an addicted personality and where you go from there. I mean, my entire life, I think I've been addicted to one thing or another, though I'm not a, I mean, I'm not a sleazebag or anything. I have maintained a job. I have a home. I have kids. But it's like I everything I do, I get addicted to. I mean, whether it be cocaine, I probably snorted more cocaine than most people have seen in their life. And I survived that. I passed that.
59:27🔗DrewIt's the addiction is a disorder of the reward centers in the brain. And it's a genetic predisposition that once you sort of throw the switch on those primitive cells in that reward system, they perpetuate a drive that grows with time. And it's a part of your brain that does not have logic, does not have reason. It's outside of your conscious influence entirely. It just creates drive. And it also anticipates a certain level of reward. And the longer you're exposed to these things, the higher the level of reward that part of the brain requires.
59:57🔗AdamDrew, I don't think she understood anything you just said. Do you think she did?
1:00:04🔗AdamYes. Same? The female? Did you understand what Drew was saying?
1:00:09🔗CallerYeah, I understood completely. But how do you stop it?
1:00:12🔗DrewYou get treatment. You get treated. You've had this disease your whole life. It's going to take quite some time to undo it. You've got to go somewhere and get treated.
1:01:35🔗AdamOK, babe. You lose your sense of humor when you get high on too, don't you? She just sounds like Fred Sanford. All right, baby, you got to get into some treatment now. You can't be doing a bunch of speed and trying to raise kids. All right. Yeah. Where's your where's your husband?
1:02:06🔗CallerWhat is he into? Well, he does. I mean, he does a few things, but he's not not like crazy. I don't know. He's crazy for doing it. That's what I'm saying. It's just it's I know that it's a dead end.
1:02:18🔗AdamYeah, he's an addict to like your kids are being smoked pot. Your kids are being raised by a couple of addicts. Come on. That's horrible. You got to get some help now.
1:02:39🔗AdamYou think 30 years, 30 years are getting high. You haven't got your fill. Come on, baby. It's time to grow up. They have 44 years young. That's a good one. Yeah. So you got to get into a program now. You got to get serious about this, Sam.
1:02:55🔗CallerSo where do you find these programs?
1:02:58🔗DrewWhat do you call them? Chemical dependency treatment center. Just call local hospital and ask if they have chemical dependency treatment and you want a comprehensive program.
1:03:08🔗AdamHow do you make it? I know it's amazing when you make it 44 years, you just never heard anything, you don't know anything. I guess that's what drugs is, right?
1:03:17🔗DrewThat's when you're just focused on drugs, nothing else matters. Nothing else really gets in.
1:03:22🔗AdamSo you're either high or you're focused on drugs.
1:03:27🔗DrewYou're busy pursuing drugs, thinking about drugs.
1:03:30🔗AdamIt's weird. It's like it's as if you're a gymnast in the former Soviet Union for 30 years and you didn't know there was a man on the moon and you never heard of anything and everything's new. This would be kind of an interesting way to go through life.
1:03:47🔗DrewIt is as a workaholic, I can tell you. I missed those 10 years when I was working excessively.
1:03:52🔗AdamYeah, but you're lucid at least. But I you can absorb information now I can.
1:03:57🔗DrewBut I still don't know what happened for those 10 years. That's what you can be asked about.
1:04:00🔗AdamYeah. But the only thing she she knows is how many grams are in an eight ball.
1:04:06🔗AdamIs that three and a half? And we never did figure out why they call them eight balls. If it's a gram, you know, it's like three and a half grams. Eight of an ounce was an eighth of an ounce is a three and a half grams and a 24 grams.
1:04:35🔗CallerEvery time I start to date anybody and they get interested in semi-serious, I just drop them. And last year in January, I got pregnant and the father, you know, he's not around anymore. And so basically I was single for a year and I thought, you know, this problem would go away because I understood how it felt being lonely and needing somebody.
1:04:57🔗CallerYes. Yes. She is here with me right now.
1:04:59🔗DrewAnd so you need someone to help you with that child.
1:05:01🔗CallerNo, no. I'm very sad. You know, I'm going to medical school. I'm about to go to medical school. I'm taking my prerequisites right now. So I need a man to support me. It's just, you know, I would like to have a mate, you know, and I started dating a guy in December, this December, and it's happening again. He's becoming less attractive and little things that he's doing is getting on my nerves. And obviously, it's me.
1:05:25🔗DrewYeah. You've got some real intimacy problems.
1:05:41🔗AdamYou can't tolerate people tolerating you. That's my problem.
1:05:45🔗DrewHere's a book for you called Dreams of Love and Fateful Encounters. Go read that book. It talks very nicely about how this is all put together in your brain.
1:06:00🔗DrewAnd you read that and you're a smart person. Yeah. It's a very, very accurate rendition of how your head works.
1:06:08🔗CallerSo you think I could overcome this or something?
1:06:11🔗DrewThe purpose of reading that book will be to convince you that you need to get some help.
1:06:15🔗CallerOkay. And how would I go about getting home?
1:06:17🔗DrewWell, you're a student. I'll have to go to Student Health Services, Mental Health Services. This is probably issues of attachment and are some, you know. Yeah.
1:06:26🔗CallerCause I had some extremely bad alcoholic parents.
1:06:45🔗AdamAll right. Good times there, baby. I was just thinking of Dee Dee Pfeiffer's husband.
1:06:58🔗DrewHe's a dentist. Oh, no, wait a minute.
1:07:00🔗AdamOh, Jesus. Did I have to bite my tongue? There's nothing. Drew doesn't want any. Drew believes that now that he's a doctor, no one else can be one.
1:07:10🔗AdamAnd I make fun of everyone who goes to junior college. And we're talking to Dee Dee Pfeiffer. And she was saying that her husband was such a normal guy, great guy, not in the industry. And I said, what did what's he do for a living? She goes, well, he's a dentist. Well, not quite a dentist, but just about. And Drew said, what was he going to do? What was your question?
1:07:31🔗DrewI said, where's he going to dental school?
1:07:36🔗AdamHe was going to junior college at the time. That was that was essentially I was as close to being a dentist as he was. And and actually, yes, I think I think Damian was actually closer to being a dentist because he went to your own flaws. Yeah, I think you're closer. Oh, no, no. Interesting. So we didn't say anything, but, you know, it's hard for me not to say something when I hear about junior college. And she's a very nice woman. And by all accounts, he seemed like a nice enough guy. But I just heard junior college and I almost had to say something. But I minded my P's and Q's.
1:08:13🔗CallerHey, he hadn't fallen asleep yet, then?
1:08:15🔗AdamHe hadn't fallen asleep yet on the sofa.
1:08:41🔗Best Of CLL #1647We tried and it's like, I don't know, we'll be to the point of it and we'll be like, you know, you know, clothes off, everything going on. And then, you know, he'll be like, almost going in there. And once he's about to like go through there, it's just like, stop and get away from me.
1:09:01🔗DrewHave you had any sexual abuse or any trauma or anything that would make you freak out about that?
1:09:06🔗Best Of CLL #1647Well, when I was 13, I guess I almost got raped by my own uncle.
1:09:11🔗DrewAnd that's nice. You deal with that at all?
1:09:14🔗Best Of CLL #1647Do you have any treatment for that? Well, I really never like went to therapy for it or anything, because I just like...
1:09:20🔗DrewDid anything happen to you before that?
1:09:45🔗Best Of CLL #1647He at the end, he had told me when I had all my clothes off and everything, he was grabbing my legs and kissing me in my legs and I guess he just suddenly reacted and goes... He knew what he was doing and he just stood there and he goes, Oh, put your clothes back on. I'm sorry.
1:10:04🔗AdamThat happened to me. Yeah. Let's just have... Just give me a hand job. He didn't settle for that? No. Okay. Well, that's... I don't know. Something struck him. I guess that's good. That's a little weird.
1:10:18🔗Best Of CLL #1647No, but that doesn't like... I just... That happened to me when I was 13 and I just like put it off. Like, I don't even think about it. But when I'm with my boyfriend, I just... It doesn't come to my head. So it's like...
1:10:32🔗Best Of CLL #1647Yeah. Like... And I feel like sometimes I feel bad because sometimes like when we'll be together, like I'll get it started and it's like I can't...
1:10:41🔗AdamAll right. Are you using any birth control?
1:11:49🔗AdamAnd it will work out soon and you won't be prepared. So go down to Planned Parenthood. You're a smart girl. You're in college and you go get yourself some birth control and get that worked out. Then you just relax with the guy. I mean, you work into it. I'm sure Martha's seen a little chaos in her day with the crazy drugged up uncle and everything and God knows what else.
1:12:11🔗DrewShe really likes this guy. If she's a decent guy, she can overcome this.
1:12:14🔗AdamAnd it's just a sort of familiarity. Once you get it down, you'll be fine. But again, birth control. OK, we'll take ourselves a little break. We'll be back.
1:12:24🔗CallerBottom line, it sucks being single today.
1:12:27🔗CallerTons of lame people and no decent prospects. 1-877-889-DATE. Loveline will be right back. So get your problems ready, ready, ready.
1:12:42🔗CallerLoveline on 94.7 NRK. Adam Carolla on 94.7 NRK.
1:13:07🔗AdamThat's my song, my theme, baby. See that pumping out of my Ferraris, I pull out in front of the club with the target top stowed in the back. Chicks checking me out, leather jacket on, driving gloves perhaps, Tipperilla cigar coming out of my mouth, paparazzi snapping shots, jump out of the Ferrari Speed Racer style, slide across the hood, and then it's right over the velvet rope. This way Mr. Corolla. A couple of hot supermodels have checked me out. They want to ride in the Ferrari.
1:14:43🔗CallerActually, I was just calling because a couple of reasons. Been having a problem with, I think, depression lately. Could be for a few reasons. Not really too sure. But I have a bottle of Wellbutrin, about a month and a half supply that I was going to start taking. And I just want to get your thoughts on that, Dr. Drew.
1:15:03🔗DrewWell, depression is not, if you really are having a major depressive episode, it has about a 20% chance of being fatal. So if you take any other medical condition and say it's a one to five chance of dying from it, you're not going to run around treating yourself. These medications are actually very difficult to manage. There's no way you can assess them yourself whether or not they're having an adequate effect. You need an objective monitoring.
1:15:27🔗AdamWell, where did you get the Wellbutrin?
1:15:31🔗CallerBut just to give you a background on it, about three and a half years ago, I started taking it to quit smoking. It worked for a while, of course. I quit smoking for about four months, but eventually started. About six months ago, I went to see my doctor. I was having problems with anxiety. I was first taking Zoloft for a while, but I had just awful side effects. That's why I just continued taking it. He wanted to switch me to Welbutrin. I was a little wary about switching to another antidepressant. I was a little concerned about the side effects. But from listening to the show, it's kind of one of the ones that you recommend, Dr. Drew.
1:16:12🔗DrewIt doesn't have the sexual side effects. But if you're having a lot of anxiety, it's not necessarily the best one for you.
1:16:18🔗AdamWell, Drew, what if he took a pill in the morning?
1:16:21🔗DrewWell, I don't even know if he has depression.
1:16:24🔗DrewI mean, is there anything else going on? Are you doing drugs or?
1:16:28🔗CallerWell, I mean, I have been on... And this is one of the other things that I was talking about. I've been taking narcotic painkillers for about three months now.
1:16:36🔗DrewForget it. Forget, forget the antidepressants. Forget it.
1:16:46🔗CallerI'm actually about to start weaning off of it next week.
1:16:49🔗DrewWell, when you've been off it, you're in a recovery program, and you're six months, 60 days sober, you're still having depression, you're still going to feel like just crap for 60 days, and you're going to feel an intense dysphoria, depression that's profound, that usually will go away by itself, about 60 to 80% of the time.
1:17:07🔗DrewWe're all behind you. You don't have depression at this point. At this point, all I know you have is opiate addiction. So we'll see if it actually turns out to be a depression.
1:18:20🔗AdamNo. OK, buddy. What's going on with Terrell and his life, by the way? Andrew, stop throwing that pen. Terrell? Yes. What happened to your plan?
1:19:12🔗AdamNo. I really want a Denver omelet. Yeah. You know, they should have an omelet named after California. I don't know other cities or states. California omelet? Well, like LA omelet. You know, like San Diego omelet. San Diego. Why does Denver get their own omelet? And then there's other ones. There's that kind of southwest stuff, but that's just regions. You know, I think LA is a big enough city where we should have our own omelet.
1:19:41🔗DrewIt doesn't doesn't roll off the tongue cut as nicely. Yeah, give me a Tucson omelet.
1:19:45🔗AdamGive me an LA omelet. LA omelet sounds like there'd be Vegas omelet.
1:19:58🔗AdamWell, what's in it? Well, one of those bean bags a SWAT team fires at a hostile crowd and a syringe. Oh, and Jack cheese. Go for that Denver omelet.
1:20:13🔗AdamYou know how I get my omelet, Drew? It's a hot tip for all you Loveline listeners to enjoy your omelet. You get them scrambled. It's nicer that way.
1:20:22🔗AdamYeah, flipped. You get that rubbery outside and then all the innards are sort of watery and in there. You get the whole thing scrambled together. Much nicer. Much more consistent.
1:20:44🔗CallerBack in 94, when I was in college, I had Bell's palsy on the left side of my face. And they diagnosed it as like a sinus infection. But they didn't, I mean, doctors were bringing in medical books and reading them to me, which didn't make me feel very good.
1:20:58🔗DrewYeah, Dina, there really is no definitive known cause of Bell's palsy. It's thought to be a virus.
1:21:04🔗AdamIs your face paralyzed or is it tick or what?
1:21:08🔗CallerBut actually, on Friday, the right side of my face went paralyzed. The left side healed in six weeks back in 94. But on Friday, it happened again to the right side.
1:21:19🔗DrewI would urge you to see an infectious disease specialist.
1:21:22🔗CallerOkay, because I read on the Internet that they found like herpes simplex 1, maybe the cause. So I don't get cold sores. Well, my face goes numb.
1:21:32🔗DrewThere's a number of viruses, some of them varying degrees of seriousness that have been associated with recurrent cranial nerve palsies. And a facial nerve is one of the cranial nerves.
1:21:43🔗CallerOkay, because this is, you know, it's no fun.
1:21:45🔗DrewYeah, there's something going on here.
1:21:47🔗AdamWhat do you look like when you have it?
1:21:49🔗CallerI look like Popeye because I try to smile and it's like halfway.
1:21:52🔗AdamYeah, yeah. Couldn't you just, you know, form a piece of plastic you could put in your mouth to prop up the sagging side?
1:22:00🔗DrewLike Jack Nichols when he played the Joker or something? Yeah.
1:22:03🔗AdamHey, you know, you know what they say, though? I mean, this, you know, there's maybe you can make some lemonade out of the Bell's Palsy Lemons, but, you know, they say when, you know, people get like facial paralysis, they don't get the wrinkles. You know, they don't get all the crow's feet and everything because they're not smiling or laughing, you know. All those wrinkles that are in your face are basically from you scrunching it up. Right. A little piece of notebook paper. If you just sit there, that's sort of all flat, drooling with that kind of I can't control my bladder look.
1:22:41🔗AdamYeah. It makes you can't move anything.
1:22:43🔗DrewThat's right. Muscles are flaccid. But listen, there are, you know, there are disorders of bone that can cause the bone to grow in around the facial nerve, the growth hormones creating too much in the pituitary gland.
1:22:56🔗DrewTheir HIV has been associated with recurrent facial, you know, recurrent pain, nerve palsy. So this really needs a very thorough evaluation.
1:23:04🔗AdamWell, so get that. Yes. I wouldn't mind a little of that Bell's palsy. Give me an excuse, you know.
1:23:27🔗DrewRemember Ralph Nader when he had that?
1:23:29🔗AdamNo, I don't remember when Ralph Nader had that. Ralph Nader looks like he's had it since he was a bar mitzvah. All right, let's say we got to take a break, but Eric?
1:23:49🔗CallerWell, I just met him when we were leaving. And then as we were going out the door, he said, you know, have her back by midnight. And she kind of walked down the steps. You know, when I came out, I was getting ready to walk out and he turned around and just kind of he didn't like, grab it, grab it. But you just kind of tap it and like, kind of lift it up a little bit.
1:24:07🔗DrewI mean, I grabbed your nuts and said, you better take care of her.
1:24:10🔗CallerRight. That's kind of how I took it. I don't know.
1:26:36🔗AdamThere's a scene where he was in there with De Niro. De Niro kept saying to hit him. He said he didn't want to hit him. That's the scene I'm going to do.
1:26:46🔗CallerWhy do you buy all these condoms? What's wrong? How many penis do you have? You have five penis? Pretty good, right?
1:26:58🔗CallerYou gotta do the actual dialogue, though.
1:27:15🔗CallerOw, don't hit me. Take that. I hit you. See how you like it now. I cut you open.
1:27:24🔗AdamYeah, that something like that. Yeah, I have to get the actual dialogue there. I'm going to do later on. I think I'll do my Tony Montana. I'll do my Scarface.
1:30:12🔗AdamOh, all right. He's got to get a girlfriend. He's got to get in that groove. He's got to get in a rhythm. Got to find that practice girl.
1:30:19🔗DrewYeah, he's got to be with somebody that he doesn't feel overwhelmed and anxious around. But if it starts to happen again, it's like, well, whatever. It's no big deal. Do something else.
1:30:26🔗AdamOK, you tell me what movie this is from. So good my personation is.
1:31:15🔗AdamYeah. Yeah. I got to I got to come up a few more. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I got one more. You got to guess. You got to guess what?
1:31:24🔗DrewThese have been brought. These have been stretches for me.
1:31:27🔗AdamI've been pretty good. You've been able to guess them. You've been guessing.
1:31:51🔗AdamAnnie, you're 21. You know what it means when guys say I love you but not in love with you?
1:31:57🔗Best Of CLL #1647Yeah. What's going on with that?
1:31:58🔗DrewI suspect that means two things. I want to break up and I don't know how to tell you.
1:32:04🔗AdamIf you're going together, that's what that means.
1:32:06🔗DrewIf you're not going to get it means I want to have sex, but I don't want to have a relationship.
1:32:09🔗AdamRight. And if you are means I still want to have sex, but I don't want to relationship. Either way you break it down. It means I'd like to keep sex going, but I'm breaking things off.
1:32:20🔗Best Of CLL #1647Oh, it was just my ex-boyfriend and I dated for like a year and a half and then all of a sudden one day he says that to me. And I'm like, what?
1:32:28🔗DrewIt's just a crazy way of breaking up and people. He may not know why he wants to break up, even he just knows it's just not going to feel right anymore.
1:32:58🔗AdamAll right, baby. Take care of yourself. Anyone want to hear any more impersonations? Any more impressions? We got one? Tara? Yeah. You got something? They just raising your hand? I see. I see. You want to hear more? But you don't have any more. Let's see. You got another movie. Give me a famous famous movie. I can do women too.
1:33:59🔗CallerSo I was like, you know, 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? So 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.
1:34:48🔗AdamWell, that's it. Unwritten Law coming in tomorrow night. I'll be glad to see them again until next time. This is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying, Mahalo.
1:34:57🔗CallerGive me your mother f'n shoes! Give me your shoes!
