1:07🔗
Oh, yeah.
1:09🔗
Adam
That's Dr. Drew. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. Dustin and Riley, both here from Thrice. It must be interesting for you guys to hear the show begin.
1:26🔗
Adam
Yes, because, you know, I was looking at the, it's funny how things sort of come together in little bits and pieces. I was just looking at this thing and it said, last time Thrice was on the show was September 11th, 2003. And I thought, that was close. Then I thought, wait a minute, September 11th, what is that, my birthday? No, wait a minute, my sister's, oh, no, that's September 11th, I thought. And then I thought, wait a minute, where was I on September 11th? And I thought, oh yeah, I did Kimmel's show. And it was horrible because it was like the September 11th crowd. It's like a bunch of people like just wearing black out there just crying while you're trying to do comedy about how cheap your dad is, you know, and masturbation comedy. And then I thought, wait a minute, so I must have been late. And then Drew came in and mentioned that he was late. And then I thought, that's right, Drew was on the show with me and Thrice was the band and they were sitting in the studio. And let me tell you a thought I've often had. And then we're getting knee deep into Thrice. Oh, yes. Knee deep into Thrice sounds like the kind of trouble you'd be in.
2:33🔗
Yeah.
2:34🔗
Adam
Listen, son, let me tell you this. When I come home from work, you're knee deep in Thrice. Knee deep. Yeah.
2:41🔗
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
2:41🔗
Something very bad.
2:46🔗
Doom.
2:47🔗
Adam
You better. You better think about packing that little sack with the stick, the one with the handkerchief on the stick and crawling out your bedroom window. Yeah. But Drew, as I say, I was getting into something you were talking about us coming in here.
3:00🔗
Oh, yeah.
3:01🔗
Yeah.
3:01🔗
Adam
Here's what I always think. And listen, engineer Chris, you're just the guy to do it. People always say like, what do you guys do when like, you know, if you're late, like, well, Drew's usually there or I get there. You know, one of us will cover. Well, what if both of you are late? Just dead air. And people are always like, well, you have something in the can, right? Something wound, something ready to go. You know, you just put this cassette in. No, I mean, you know, you do. You're in 100 cities. You don't have a little something that says we're late, a little intro, a little best of, a little something ready to go.
3:38🔗
Adam
Yeah. No, no. And then I think about it's about once every three weeks, I think, well, go ahead and do something like that. And then I think, no, are you kidding me? You guys never going to happen. What do you got?
3:56🔗
I have numerous ones.
4:02🔗
We have thrice in studio and it's a golden opportunity.
4:04🔗
Adam
Three months ago. What do you got? What would you do if we weren't here tonight, Anderson? And why did you? What would you do when thrice was here?
4:12🔗
Drew
Last time. What do you mean? Well, what did you do when we were actually late last time? I don't remember. I'm sure I played at the beginning of another show. No, I don't remember.
4:22🔗
Adam
I tuned in and heard Anne and thrice like, I don't know. Is this on? It didn't sound like you had something in the can.
4:31🔗
Drew was on the phone.
4:33🔗
We had Drew on the cell phone that one time.
4:36🔗
Adam
Well, Anderson, it just it's some just I'll give you a minute to look around. But whatever you would do if we didn't show up tonight, I'd like you to do it.
4:45🔗
I think last time Drew was on the phone, it cut out and I played like the Drew boogie or something and that's right. But I always have something and I got I mean, I don't want to play another show. That's gay.
4:54🔗
Adam
Oh, yeah. All right. Well, it was worth a try. Anyway, thanks, Anderson. You're always Johnny on the spot over there. And Chris, what do you got? Nothing over here. Right. Right. Yeah.
5:07🔗
And at K-Rock, they have a show ready to go.
5:11🔗
Even if you're one of ours? Yeah.
5:15🔗
It's from Westwood. Yeah.
5:16🔗
Adam
Poor man. All right. Thrice is here. We're going to hear something off the CD. You guys are going to Europe? Yes. Soon.
5:24🔗
At the end of January.
5:28🔗
And Japan and Australia. That sounds nice too.
5:31🔗
Adam
I've never been in Japan or Australia. Every time I anyone talks about Australia, they rave. Japan is more like, well, you kind of got experience.
5:38🔗
Drew
I was talking to somebody from Japan last night. It was telling me that Japan is having a huge problem with the adolescent and young adults. That this whole generation has dedicated themselves so much to their work, they just let their kids sort of run wild. And now the schools are having to raise the kids. And when the kids get arrested, the teachers go in to bail them out. They're like, they're like, you know, like feral kids. And in in they have money, they have money and they're f'ed up, a big problem going on.
6:03🔗
Adam
I think, you know, us westernizing the Japanese is like us, you know, giving our like small pox to the Indians. It is they can't handle it. Their systems aren't made for denim and, you know, barracudas and beetles and Elvis Presley and, you know, you know, crank. They're not made for like, like they start hearing some speed medals like, hey, you can dye your hair, I dye hair. Yeah. And yeah, man, you have to wear that suit, man. Get you some we call it denim.
6:37🔗
Adam
All of a sudden, one hair goes, boy, you know, like, hey, man, do it, guys become circles to a rail of this trucker speech, rocker speed. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. All of a sudden, the wheels come off the wagon. And let me tell you this about the Asians, because I want to warn you guys, you know, head over there. When they go, they go hard. They go south hard. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's no in between. There's no middle ground. There's no sort of soft rock and Asians. You either got the super button down brown suits, skinny tie guys, bowing, constant bowing, or you got the crazy rice rocket motorcycle gang guys.
7:15🔗
We have the only one in our band, though.
7:19🔗
We have the in between. Oh, we found him.
7:23🔗
Yeah.
7:30🔗
Hang on to him.
7:34🔗
Adam
Do not let him get away because he's worse. Because once they go and let's hope he's been this way for a while, right? He's not transitioning into the crazy rice rocket motorcycle gang with the Japanese animation.
7:47🔗
They're catching him on the further thing from him.
7:50🔗
Adam
You could catch it. You see, he could be going one direction or next could be heading toward a suit. He's in a lot of balance and those horn rimmed glasses. No.
8:00🔗
We got some trucker speed and some rebice.
8:08🔗
Adam
Yeah, no. You know, what's cool about you guys going to Europe, too, is think about this, Drew. You'd love to go to Europe, right?
8:16🔗
Adam
You'll have to. And you get a little older. You put a few bucks in the bank. It's not really about money. It's more about the time. If you're going to crack a beer, do it away from the microwave. It's about it's about finding a few weeks, right? Yeah. And then you can find a few weeks, but there's so much crap piled up at home. You want to get to that. Now you guys are getting paid like you have to do it.
8:37🔗
It's kind of nice.
8:43🔗
We can't find the time anywhere else to do anything else, though.
8:48🔗
You don't have anything else to do, though.
8:51🔗
Yeah.
8:51🔗
Adam
But they can't have fun while they're there because they're running through each city, right?
8:56🔗
True. I mean, it's definitely an awesome opportunity to get to see these places, but it's like, hey, that was that was London.
9:02🔗
Yep.
9:03🔗
Let's go to Paris.
9:05🔗
I saw that thing from far away in it. It looks like in the movies.
9:09🔗
Adam
I know this sounds totally incredible, but is there a way to say, look, instead of spreading, you know, spreading this 15 city tour into 19 days, we'd like to do it over 28 days. And we'll kick in a couple of our own bucks. Like, it's going to cost a little more. You're not going to make the money, but we'll take a little less or something. Like, is there a way to stretch it out?
9:33🔗
Drew
Or to keep it localized? Like we're going to explore England. So at least we have a single culture.
9:51🔗
Oregon's pretty key in that.
9:55🔗
So you don't hear an interesting Oregon story. Yeah, I have a lot of family from up there. And it's really a lot of it's redneck in a really weird way. Yes, really, really good at building potato guns and what they're just telling me is the way they get around drinking and driving laws is to fill their windshield wiper fluid thing with alcohol and run the tube into their car so they can just stick the tube in their mouth and hit the button and squirt liquor into their mouth. Yeah, that's pretty amazing.
10:29🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's Old English 800. Just a hint of Windex. It's good stuff. It's like a Windex floater.
10:38🔗
Adam
I like when guys really get inventive. Well, he took the tool bed box of his pickup truck and he gutted the whole thing to go on. Got a pony keg in there. Then he drilled through the firewall and he ran some three quarter inch PVC up around through it. And it's like, really?
10:59🔗
So you guys have heard of this before?
11:02🔗
I was pretty surprised.
11:03🔗
That's usually the weed smokers that are inventive. Yeah, you know, it's not to be a drinkers.
11:08🔗
Adam
It's sort of it's sort of it's sort of like doodling, you know, like weed smokers like the doodle. They also like to invent like kooky, crappy things that don't really work.
11:21🔗
Adam
Right. Tweakers get it done. Yeah. This just scratched down on a cocktail napkin. But, you know, these are, by the way, Oregon and Florida, the two cities, I don't think people know. Two states that people don't really know about. And in terms of like, I grew up thinking Florida, that's where old people go there to retire. They got Disney World, Oregon. Oh, geez, it's a bunch of hippie guys out there. Salt of the Earth types. You don't realize you got some serious rednecks in both. Both different.
11:54🔗
Adam
That's the one who'll cut you. Oregon is more about stockpiling munitions and canned goods because someone's coming for them.
12:04🔗
Adam
Yeah. Whereas Florida is just, I'm going to get drunk. I'm going to cut you with this can lid.
12:10🔗
Florida is where all the bus travelers come from.
12:13🔗
Drew
No, it's not the southern toothless guy. It's the guy from Michigan. That comes, he gets kicked out of Michigan. They migrate down. They go south, right?
12:21🔗
Adam
Yeah. And I guess Oregon is more the militianist guy. He's got a bunker. He's got a lot of canned food.
12:30🔗
Adam
Yeah. All right. I'm trying to think of the city that doesn't have that diversity. Where? Well, the state even.
12:43🔗
Adam
I'm just... All right. I'm going to work on this. Yeah, Montana. I think here's what state is close to what we think about it.
13:00🔗
Adam
Happy to see you. We drove through Wisconsin. We stopped at a gas station to take a leak. It's like Drew and I came walking. It's a white person talking to us. Maybe she must have bound and gagged the steely-eyed foreigner who usually mans the counter.
13:23🔗
Adam
And we're like, uh, oh, uh, uh, what's the word? Can we use the bathroom? Sure you can. Go right ahead. Like, uh, nothing. I don't have to, you know, I don't want any money. I don't have my wallet. There's no tokens. You don't have to get a two-forms ID. No. And we're like, but what happened to the super-scary, steely-eyed foreign guy? It was like, no! Cannot have!
13:57🔗
There are some terrible bathrooms across this nation. And in Europe, too.
14:10🔗
Yeah, we like to talk. It's our little intercom here.
14:20🔗
Adam
Let me just say this real quick, though. I was talking to a friend of mine today. I was saying, you know, imagine what it's like when you live in one of these other states. And when we have people listening to our show who live in those states who take it for granted, you get to pick up the phone and talk to people who speak English.
14:37🔗
Adam
Yeah. And I'm just saying, you live in Los Angeles, Southern California, especially Los Angeles, you pick the phone up. You want to call the Home Depot. You want to call the fast food joint. You want to call the Chinese takeout place. You ain't getting it. You ain't getting it. No, no, no slight against those wonderful people. I'm just saying it is a luxury when talking to people that understand you.
15:06🔗
Adam
Yes. For us, it's a pleasant surprise. And like how many times you've done this where you've called to order some Thai food or some Japanese food and you go, yeah, I like the Kung Pao chicken. Not too, not too hot. Not kind of mild. But mild, right?
15:30🔗
Adam
You know, it's like you think, now you're just sitting there thinking, maybe it's going to be mild, maybe it's not. And there's no way to really figure that out.
15:38🔗
Drew
Every time I call a nursing home or a hospital and try to give orders, it's like calling a restaurant. And then you think, I wonder if that's going to happen.
15:49🔗
Adam
Right, right. So here's what I'm saying. When you hang up the phone, whether you're calling the nursing home or whether you're calling the Chinese takeout place, you hang up the phone thinking, well, 50-50 chance that I'm going to get whatever it is I ask. Or maybe it's 60-40. Hard to tell. It's got to take a little bit out of you living in a city where that's just a constant. You just kind of get used to it. You just hang up and you go, well, maybe it'll be mild, but maybe it'll be super extra spicy and we'll never, we have no control over this. It's interesting, though, isn't it? Not many people can experience that in their own country, can they?
16:29🔗
Adam
Yeah, so we got to take some calls. We got Thrice here. We can get to the phones. It's not a slight against the valuable foreigner living here. Don't get me wrong.
16:45🔗
Drew
The uncertainty of actually getting jobs done is what's concerning, but the actual diversity is fine.
16:56🔗
Hey, gentlemen.
16:59🔗
Good. I'm dating a guy who's nine years older than me. We've been living together for three years. He has a very odd schedule. He works for a fire department, so he kind of doesn't get a lot of sleep at night, that kind of a thing. And when he gets home, he's not really into me sexually speaking. I mean, we usually have sex, like, three times a month or something.
17:28🔗
Sometimes more.
17:29🔗
And, you know, at first, you know, we first started dating, it was a lot more frequent.
17:40🔗
No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not ugly. He's completely attracted to me. I mean, I've asked him that before.
17:49🔗
Is he what?
17:52🔗
No, he's not. And we actually, I had him go to the doctor to have some blood tests done, just to check everything. His testosterone level's fine. I mean, everything. His B12 is fine. What I'm wondering is...
18:16🔗
Adam
All right, hold on a second. Let me tell you something about calling these Thai food places. You want a peanut? You see how boring our callers are? First, Amber here is 24 years old and sounds like a 40-something-year-old house frau. From Wisconsin. No, not Wisconsin.
18:34🔗
Adam
From the early 1960s, late 1950s. Forget about state. She's from another time. Yeah, and I think when these chicks start sort of henpecking, they sort of become your mom and not really your lover. You want some hot, sexy thing. And listen, I'm not talking about total all-out fantasy, but I'm just saying she's at 24 years age is starting to sound like the guy's mom.
19:06🔗
I'm not his mom. I'm really into a lot of meat stuff. I go to strip clubs with him and stuff like that. When we do have sex, it's pretty kinky. It's not that I'm necessarily concerned with trying to be his mom. I'm just wondering what's going on with guys around 30.
19:25🔗
Drew
I've never dated a guy that was Amber, Amber, nothing, absolutely nothing. This is something to do with your relationship or him. This has nothing to do with it, not anything to do with his aging. And you sending him in there for B-12 levels are completely missing the point. Does he smoke pot? Does he drink heavily? Is there anything else going on?
19:48🔗
He's pulling out hoses all day long.
19:50🔗
He works for a fire department, so.
19:54🔗
Well, he doesn't get a lot of sleep at night.
19:58🔗
Adam
Wait a minute, doesn't he? What's he work? Three days on and four days off or something?
20:03🔗
No, he works about sometimes four days on and he gets the day off. And then he works a lot of overtime.
20:12🔗
Go ahead.
20:17🔗
No, he's running calls all night.
20:22🔗
No, they run a lot of medical calls. So they have to go on six fat people.
20:28🔗
Adam
All right. Listen, if he's strung out and he's tired and all that, maybe you guys just need a weekend. But how long you guys been going out?
20:42🔗
Three years.
20:45🔗
Well, financially, it's not something that I want right now. I go to school and I get financial aid.
20:53🔗
Why aren't you married? Well, if I got married to him, I wouldn't get my financial aid. Because he makes a lot of money.
21:11🔗
Well, I guess it's not necessarily something that I want either right now. I mean, he doesn't necessarily want it and I don't.
21:21🔗
Adam
You don't want it because he doesn't want it. That's what we think. And there's something about him. And I don't know. He's OK. Here's what we're saying. This is going to sound cruel. But just sit down and listen.
21:34🔗
Adam
Drew, please, please. Guys, I'm sorry to say that again. It's the beer talking. Here's the thing. You show me a guy who's 33, who's with someone who's 24, has been with her for three years, is reeling back the sex a little bit.
21:55🔗
Adam
And what he's saying is, is let's stop it at this at this certain point. Let's we're not going to get as far as it's going.
22:03🔗
Drew
This is it. We're in a holding pattern. We're in a holding pattern. And it's not going forward. It's not going to be on this. Right. This is good enough for now. And while I'm working hard, I can't really make any changes.
22:16🔗
Adam
Right. And you're twenty four and you're not busting my chops like you would be if you were thirty or thirty two and wanting to get married. You're able to talk yourself into this stuff about being on school, schooling and all this. But he he doesn't want to get married. You sense that. And you sense if you pushed on him, he'll be gone. He'd be gone. All right. So, listen, Amber, maybe this this thing is coasting to a stop. That's fine, everybody. Maybe that you get a relationship when you're 21. Three years later, you're 24. It's about time we've all had those had those happen.
22:54🔗
He's doing this.
23:03🔗
Drew
Everything they're supposed to be, how they're supposed to behave in a relationship, exposed to how they're actually feeling. It's like we've turned women into some sort of puppets.
23:12🔗
Drew
But they're not the man's puppet. They're sort of the man, the man, the cultural puppets of how they're supposed to be.
23:19🔗
Adam
She starts with school, then goes to she's not ready to get married and then slips into either. And that's the magic word. All right. Thrice in studio tonight. Sorry, Drew, to do all that. Yeah. We're going to play a little one whole call. Yeah. Well, that's what you get. You get House Frau Amber from Corona. That's what you want. As opposed to my pearls of wisdom about society. Yes. We'll take a quick break. We'll be back.
23:53🔗
Every hour, two Americans under the age of 25 are infected with HIV. Protect yourself. Call free 1-866-344-K-N-O-W.
24:12🔗
Adam
Hey, everybody. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LLV-E-191. Dustin and Riley both here from Thrice tonight. The artist in the ambulance. Name of the CD. We'll hear a song off of that in a couple of seconds. Hey, Adam.
24:31🔗
Mm hmm. Watch this. You're going to like this.
24:33🔗
Yeah.
24:33🔗
Hey, everybody.
24:37🔗
Adam
I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Dustin and Riley are both here from Thrice. Yo. The artist in the ambulance. Name of the CD.
24:48🔗
Except you're taking calls.
25:01🔗
Caller
Well, I'm pregnant and my boyfriend, well, my ex-boyfriend is really unsupportive and I'm not sure if I should try to continue any kind of relationship.
25:13🔗
That's a much better show.
25:34🔗
I'm not really sure exactly what he wants to do.
25:44🔗
Drew
No, here's the thing. You guys think that you can remember every call just because you've been here twice. No, no, no, no. It's all goes.
25:54🔗
Caller
No. I wouldn't remember that one. I remember like the guy that peed in two streams and then the masturbation record and that stuff.
26:08🔗
Adam
I was getting confused. I was going to go make a number two. And yeah, I was just starting to sort of settle in and enjoy whoever that whoever that was. All right. Now we're going to the phones, right? What was the point of that? I don't mean that in a bad way.
26:21🔗
Drew
No, to show that he could really represent the show. If something happened to us, he could keep the show going.
26:32🔗
Adam
If I had the heart attack, I'm sure I'm going to have in the bathroom, the show would go on.
26:42🔗
Adam
Yeah. That's the part. It's not the pushing out part. It's the part where I try that trick where I'm trying to suck it back in. And that's where I'm going to hurt myself, Drew. You know what I mean? Anyone can push it out. You ready? I have to show you that one, right?
27:12🔗
Yeah.
27:17🔗
Caller
Here is my deal. I was married at 17, got with a guy when I was 15 and we had a great sex life for a long, long time. Three or four times a day we were always having sex and we...
27:36🔗
Caller
Phoenix. And at the end he became very violent and there was a lot of domestic violence. He tried killing me and he ultimately ended up raping me. And since then I haven't been able to have any type of... I have the feelings to want to have sex, of course, I'm only human, but to go through the act is just so... It's hard for me.
28:03🔗
Drew
Okay. So that suggests that you've had... First of all, it's hard to imagine three or four times a day to decide which one the rape was. But be that as it may.
28:14🔗
Drew
But the deal here is that you're having what's called a post-traumatic stress disorder and this rape is re- bringing something to the surface of something you had happened to you long ago and now you're having all these flashbacks and anxiety and paralysis around that. So what happened when you were like eight, six?
28:42🔗
Adam
I don't even know we talked to anyone. We were making this announcement the other night. And it sounds bad, but it's not really meant to be bad. So who cares? But we don't talk to anybody on this show who was raped that wasn't molested or abused in some situation or some form earlier on.
28:59🔗
Drew
I've never seen a 14-year-old or 15-year-old female who was raped and kept it secret, who didn't have a prior history of such violence.
29:09🔗
Drew
This is she's saying, I have this violent sociopath, sex addict for a boyfriend, and then he raped me, and now I have a reaction to that. I can't even think about it, so I can't do something, and that's supposed to make sense.
29:21🔗
Caller
What it was is that at the end, he had, like I said, there was a lot of domestic violence, and in the midst of all that, I had told him I was no longer going to sleep with him, and he took it upon himself to take it from me.
29:38🔗
Adam
The question is, what made you think it was a good idea to get hooked up with a guy like this?
29:47🔗
Adam
Yeah, I know you're going to tell us you didn't know he was this kind of guy, but that's not the answer we're looking for. We know you didn't know that.
29:57🔗
Adam
Yeah, the runaway. All right. The point is, is there had to be some abuse you were running away from that sort of set you up to get hooked up with the abuser. Okay, so anyway, this is how it works.
30:09🔗
Caller
I've been trying to go through treatment for the last few years, for the last three years. And it just, it seems to be like a cat and mouse in between me and the therapist. I'm more than willing to be open. I'm more than willing to talk. It just doesn't seem like it's going anywhere with my therapist. I don't get back what I need from them.
30:30🔗
Drew
All they're going to give you is mirroring reflections of your feelings. They shouldn't say anything. They should just show you on their face that they appreciate the feelings you're having in the moment. That's it. That's all they're going to show you. And how you respond to that, the work you do, is what needs to happen.
30:50🔗
Caller
How do I get through the feelings of being dirty and wrong, even though it's human nature?
30:58🔗
Drew
Keep exploring them and keep understanding that that person is there and listening and appreciates what you're saying.
31:09🔗
Caller
He strangled me one night when we were homeless, we were living out of our car and ultimately what caused him to lunge at me was I told him that I was sorry that his mom had molested him as a child.

Yeah, very severely throughout the years. I know bits and pieces, but knowing that I got to know more, I grew that out of anger and he just went at me and he started strangling me.
31:42🔗
Caller
How did he not? He ended up letting go of me when he felt I had ultimately passed out. I had my daughter in my arms.
31:58🔗
Adam
All right. What are you doing with this kid? How are you going to get kids? How are you going to get make these kids not come out like you guys too late, too late? Get help for yourself. And please keep an eye on those kids.

I try and model myself to make sure that I broke the cycle. I left him at an early age and everybody in my family stuck through their marriages.

Oh, yeah. Erin, crank them kids out. Listen, I feel bad for everybody. On the other hand, I'd like a bullet put in the head of this guy's mother who molested him and her mom.
32:59🔗
Drew
But it really does show something interesting, which is how people would rather act out on things out of the environment than feel the real pain and rage at their parents. In other words, Saddam Hussein gets viciously beaten by his dad. Therefore, it's the white man that's the problem. It's out there. That's where the problem is, supposed to feel the real serious pain.
33:20🔗
Drew
It's all getting displaced onto things out there. The government, the race. This is a good point.
33:23🔗
Adam
This is a good point. I never stop abusing my family. I really don't. Verbally, physically, fecally, sexually. I never said abuse never stops. It just never stops. I was abusing my, I abused my poor 90 year old grandmother verbally last night.
33:40🔗
Adam
Yeah, last night. Last night she said, which is trying to get some money together for her. She has a nurse, helper, maid, sort of a.
33:54🔗
Adam
It's a good story. Listen, when you're 93 years old, you need someone around the house to help you take a crap.
34:01🔗
Adam
Or you're going to a nursing home. You're going to get out of the wheelchair into this over there. So she said to me, she said, this woman, she said, you know, we're passing the hat. We're getting some money together for her for Christmas. And meanwhile, my grandma's got a couple of bucks in the bank. She's fine. I mean, more than a couple of bucks. Not rich, but got enough to keep her going for a while. Long enough. So she says, we're getting some money together. I said, yeah, all right, I'll I'll put in, I think I said 500 bucks, but she was like shocked by it. I was like, no, we're talking about like 50 bucks. But I was like, you got to give her a little you got to give her a little money if she's doing a good job. You got to give her a bonus. And she said she said she doesn't have a table in her kitchen, doesn't have, you know, pots to cook in. So I said, why don't you pay her more? And she shut up. And she said, she said, well, I'm trying to raise money. I said, yeah, I know. But if you just pay her, if you give her the money, you're the reason she doesn't have the table in the kitchen. Give her the money. Give her the money. You won't have to hit me up.

But in the meantime, she doesn't have health care, there's all the things she should be getting from out there.

I'm not a Democrat, but I grew up around these sort of left wing sort of in Canada. They take care of all their people without you haven't paid taxes in 22 years, bitch.

I was talking about my mom, actually, with the Canadian health stuff. But I mean, yeah, my mom was on welfare.

Adam
It's like, listen, you want to take care of somebody, go ahead, pay them. You don't shut up and stop complaining about the system, by the way. And all those people you loathe, the GMs, the Fords, the Pepsis, the Coca Colas, they're paying for all you a-holes. That's you guys. Please. No, yes. I still do abuse my own family. And even my grandmother's in her 90s, I was abusing her last night verbally.
36:23🔗
Adam
Well, listen, look, that's what you do. You don't start complaining about how poor everyone is when they're your employee.
36:33🔗

That's what I want all you guys to think about. Are you going to pay more? And if not, shut up. Stop your whining or dig in and start doing something. Hey, we got to go on another break. I want to hear a thrice song. Now squeeze one in.

Are you a big fan of Adam's? I mean, because Adam doesn't have anyone on the air who's not a big fan.
43:23🔗
I've been waiting for like an hour.
43:26🔗
Adam
An hour? That's a little light for Adam. If he finds out that someone's been waiting for less than an hour, he freaks. Have your head. Out. Yeah. Yes.
43:35🔗
I've been on for a while.
43:37🔗
Adam
Well, if you're ready to kneel and pray at the altar of Adam, because again, that's the only way. I'll get fired, too, if he finds out we had this conversation. You're not going to tell him?

Uh-uh.

Am I going to be on next? Yeah.
43:57🔗
Adam
Let me just get. Let me get Adam. Hold on. Hi, welcome to Loveline. Who's on? Tony, you're 15. What's going on there, brother?
44:15🔗
Adam
An hour and a half. Little light. I'd say the kids love me, though. They're willing to wait for me. Am I right?
44:27🔗
Adam
Let me tell you the thing that's great about me, though, Tony. I'll have anyone on. You're disagreeable. You're a good friend. You'll get on that much faster because I'm always eager for the fray and I can mix it up with anybody. I'm not scared of anybody. Right there, buddy? Tony, you didn't talk to anybody before you came on who told you what to say or anything, did you?
44:45🔗
Adam
All right. Because sometimes a guy, we got one of our phone screeners comes on, likes to coach some of the people, tell them how long they were on hold and that kind of thing. You didn't talk to that guy, did you?
44:57🔗
Adam
Right, right, right. All right, buddy. As long as you didn't talk to any guy, like a guy had kind of a nasally drone.

Yeah.
48:08🔗
Adam
All right, y'all. Now, remember, oh yeah, Crank Yankers, Comedy Central. Please let me tell you what I had to do today. As you can see, I'm wearing my Crank Yankers sweat jacket. I grabbed a hat from the back of my car today, because as you know, I like to wear hats almost everywhere. And it happened to be a Crank Yanker baseball hat. And then I took a look at myself as I was leaving my car, walking up, it was like, what a dick. Super fan. We get it, you're on the show, all right, a-hole? And I was thinking, no, no, I just got this hat. And I sweat jacket, I just wear it because it's cold. And then I took the hat off and put it back. But they got us when we used to do Loveline, the TV show, they got us this big Loveline jackets. And they were nice. They were like rain jacks, had a hood and a drawstring. And they were like, you know what I did? Loveline was written in bright yellow.
49:02🔗
Adam
Took a Sharpie, went right over. What a dick. The guy's wearing his... What's the while you see the celebrity guy who's in the show, he's on wearing his show swag. It's kind of dicky. But then you realize, I think they think about it sometimes, just put the hat on.
49:26🔗
Adam
Yeah. Or sometimes you're just kind of in a pinch. Like you just need to put something on and go down to the corner.
49:39🔗
Adam
It would go nice with my thrice sweat pants in my thrice muck luck boots in my sweat beanie. Yeah, that would be nice just on the hip. That's nice. Now, I want to interview this band thrice. I want to interview them correctly. So let's just take a couple of minutes and interview thrice.
50:07🔗
Adam
What's happening? We're going to put you on with Adam again. Yeah, he's kind of pissed, though, because he found out we talked. Well, well, first off, you know, he's one of those artists guys, you know, those guys, they're all over the place emotionally. I'm just saying you never know what kind of mood Adam's going to be in when he comes into the studio. You know what I'm saying?
50:34🔗
Adam
I'm going to put you on in a minute. I just want to make sure you're saying the right thing. Okay, Tony? When you come on with Adam, tell him you've been on hold for a couple of hours.
50:53🔗
Adam
All right, hold on a second. So anyway, well, that about wraps it up with Thrice. Tony? You're 15, calling from Minnesota. How long have you been on hold?
51:17🔗
Adam
He said an hour and a half to 45 minutes. An hour and a half to an hour 45. So you've been on hold for about two hours.
51:40🔗

No, not two and a half. Okay, not two and a half. Listen, I heard you talking to somebody in the background earlier. Who was that?

54:38🔗
Adam
They go to bed early because their brains are tired from thinking. Jews wear their brains out by the time the streetlights come on at night. All that calculating, all that thinking, all that conniving. You know what I mean? All that planning. You see what I'm saying? Oh yeah, like military strategists who never pick up a gun. See what I'm saying? Now these, these are more the white trash guys who don't really, brain never really fires up. You ever get like a bad bulb, you flip the switch and it kind of starts to light up. It's like a bad neon bulb or fluorescent. You know the bad fluorescent bulb you got? It starts to light up and then gets twitchy and then doesn't really do. That's like the brain of the guys who just called. That is the white guy from Minnesota brain. It's like it takes some power, but it's never, never really hits its stride.

Drew
I had a light bulb, you know, break off the glass part, break away from the screw in part.

Adam
They have these tips that sound like great tips. Right, but it's just nonsense. Nonsense. Yeah, they cut the potato in half and put that and all you get is that weird potato cheese dripping down your arm. Yeah, and Drew, that's an expensive item of potato.
56:02🔗
Adam
You know, here's the whole thing about that is you got to get that thing out. See, here's the problem. The reason it broke is because the thing is stuck in there in the first place.
56:17🔗
Adam
Well, you flip the switch, the other whatever. Oh, hit the breaker. Go hit the breaker. I would take, I would take, here's what I would do. I would try to shoot some sort of lubricant in there like WD-40. Use that straw. That red straw. Stick it in there and try to, try to squirt some lubricant up in there. Then I would try to use two sets of pliers. Needle nose or not simultaneously. Instead of just sort of putting the pressure on one side and binding it, try to put two of them on there. The other thing you can do works nicely. People got to do this. Tapping works nicely. Clamp on to the edge, the broken edge, the metal edge. After you shoot a little WD in there, hang on to the plier. And then stick like a handle or shoe or the heel of a shoe or something. Just tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. It will start making its way around. The tapping, the yanking tends to sort of torque it and twist it and lock it.

Hey, what's up Adam? I wanted to know why the Touchstone terrorists were left out of season 2 and 3 of the crank anchors.
57:33🔗
Adam
Oh, we're just talking about crank anchors. Alright, I'll make it fast. The guy, what the hell was his name? I'll think of his name. I think, what's that?
57:47🔗
Adam
No, Touchstone terrorists were, I can't think of the guy's name. The reason he was left out is probably just because they didn't have any good material for us to use. As far as I know.
58:15🔗
Adam
I think he slighted me, but I wasn't exactly. He's talking about my character on that crankhead.
58:23🔗
Adam
Oh, look. Here's the, here's the whole thing. The guy, the guy, the Touchstone terrorist guy, his name is like Pete Doggie or something like that. He had, he had a CD that had some good stuff on it and we used one or two of the things, but that was all he had. So we just used what he had. And I guess in season two, we didn't have anything or we chose not to use it. And by the way, I like the way everything turns into some kind of conspiracy. We produce a show where we take the best material we can find and put it on so we can get rich. We're not really interested in like elbowing people out or politics or anything. You come up with something good, you got it. We put it on.
59:03🔗
Adam
I know. Why is everything like, oh, you're jealous. It's like, why did we call the guy in the first place? They never think about that either. Well, he was on season one, remember? How come we picked up the phone?
59:26🔗
Adam
Listen, Jackass. Well, what are you talking about? Are you talking about Pete Dogey or Pete Dogie or whatever his name was?
59:39🔗
Adam
Listen, Jack Offon. Just continue attempting to blow yourself, would you? You're never going to get laid, you screwball. Let Drew answer. He'll answer.
1:00:16🔗
Adam
OK. Here's all I can judge. All I can judge it by is like when you're on the road. I was chewing out my 93-year-old grandmother in Topanga Canyon, where my sister lives last night. And I was driving back here, driving home to go to the show. Sucks working Sunday night, by the way, when everyone's off and everyone goes, where are you going? And you go, I'm going to work.
1:00:40🔗
Adam
Work's always that much worse when there's about 30 drunk people that are going, where are you going? I got to go to work. You're going to work? So everyone's like freaked out that you're going to work. And, you know, I'm with my family, too, because, you know, work, the devil's, the devil's toil. You get to work, you get $633 bucks a month from the government. So driving up to Panga Canyon, it's eight o'clock at night, there's some guys going 20 miles an hour, and there's another pickup truck, and the pickup truck is behind the car that's going up to Panga Canyon. I'm behind the pickup truck, and the pickup truck's three feet behind this guy. I'm not exaggerating. It dropped back about eight feet and then moved up. I mean, he was tailgating. The lights are on, he's not flashing the brights, and he's just right on the guy's rear bumper, and I'm right on the rear bumper of the pickup truck. And it's the middle of the night, it's in Panga Canyon, it's dark, it's like the wilderness, there's no street lights. If you have a rear view, you're going to notice that there's a car that is within one meter of the rear of your car and is not moving. And that's where the guy is the entire time. At a certain point, the pickup slides out, he's going to make his move. He slides out into oncoming traffic, there's another car and of course I got the wife, no! And I'm like, we're going! Because now me and the pickup truck, we're a team. He's made his move, I got to make my move, there's solidarity here. He slides out, there's a car coming the other way. I slide out, I punch it, he punches it, we're both now, it seems like it's taking forever because we're going uphill and we're trying to get around this car and there's a car coming the other way. The point is, is the car that we're passing, no they didn't speed up but they didn't inch, they didn't move a quarter inch to the right and didn't slow down and didn't, didn't, you know it's like there's a couple of guys that want to get around you, they've been wanting to get around you for the last 20 miles or so. Now they've slid out and they're going around you, how about you just sort of, you got plenty of room on the road, how about you not just ride the line, how about you just slide over two or three feet or maybe even slow down a little bit, no not going to happen. Now, I don't know if you're stupid, if you're angry, if you're distracted, if you're depressed, I don't know what you are, but there's a lot of those people out there and we need to get rid of them. That's all I'm saying.
1:02:58🔗
Adam
I do too. Drew thinks there's evil intent. I think they're just totally out of it. Like I just think they're driving at the speed they drive. If there's no cars behind them, if there's a thousand cars behind them, if there's a popemobile behind them or the presidential motorcade behind them, the Green Lantern could be behind them. It doesn't matter who's behind them. They go 22. That's what they do. Part of the reason they go 22 is because they're kind of out of it and being out of it stops them from noticing anything around them. And that's it. Just not going to move. But I always wonder at night with the Xenon headlights, it's like, you don't notice those things, just taking up your entire rear view mirror. It's just nothing but white light and all all three mirrors.
1:03:47🔗
Adam
Drew says that. But the person was going 22 before you got there. You know what I mean? They're not altering.
1:03:55🔗
Adam
All right. And there's an element of, look, the speed limit says 25 and I'm going 24 and a half. So screw you. There's an element of that.
1:04:12🔗
Adam
Here's all I want is a society. I want the guys start. I want people to start laying on the horn. Start going, look, it's not OK for you to impede us this way. Move over or do something.
1:04:22🔗
Caller
We're pretty easy on the horn in this country. If you go to like South America, like, oh, it's just like the people. It's not like an offensive thing to use their horn. It's like, I'm going through this red light and I am going to swerve around you. It's just like it's an instrument of like talking.
1:04:41🔗
Adam
It's used for what it's supposed to be used for, which is to alert people or to let people know something or to tell people to move along or to, you know, to do that. Hey, wake up. The lights turn.
1:04:58🔗
Adam
It is. We got to do something about that, Drew. Sometimes I just stop talking and I see if it how long it takes before Drew starts talking just to see. And then it makes me think you can never stop talking now. Tracy? You're twenty three? New York. That's a horn honking town. That's what we need here. Oh, by the way, let me just say this. Here's all you need to know about how here's how you can judge a town's speed. The cab driver. That that's that's a great yardstick to measure the town's flow and their aggressiveness or their non aggressiveness. New York cab drivers, maniacs on the horn, cutting around, flying through the town. LA cab drivers, confused pussies, pussies. I mean, I can't ride in the back of an LA cab because they don't move. There's pussies. They're out of it and they're slow and they don't know how to drive either. It's also the the car, the town car guys, pussies, pussies and slower than crap.

I actually have some questions for you guys. First, I read Dr. Drew's book and it was awesome.

Thank you Tracy. It's called Cracked for Anybody Else Who Liked to Read. It was said the sales have slowed markedly and I've not been pumping it very much.
1:07:17🔗
Caller
I have a question about the new birth control that the FDA approved, the seasonal, the four periods a year thing.
1:07:26🔗
Caller
Well, I found out like a month ago that I have type 2 diabetes, and I was wondering if that would have any effect on that. And when you do have your four periods a year, would they be crazy, like really heavy periods?
1:07:40🔗
Drew
They're heavier, but they're not crazy heavy. A lot of women prefer this. There's absolutely no reason that women can't go with just a few periods a year. There's some sort of belief, almost sort of primitive man belief that, oh, we've got to cycle every month. There's no evidence that that's the case. The type 2 diabetes, do you have polycystic ovarian disease?
1:08:04🔗
Drew
Okay, so you have PCO, which is associated with type 2 diabetes, and so it's important for you to take the birth control pill, actually.
1:08:13🔗
Drew
Type 2. Type 1 is the insulin deficient juvenile onset. Type 2 is insulin resistant later in life.
1:08:20🔗
Drew
No, type 1 is bad. Type 2, you can take pills to get people to die and stuff. No, type 3.
1:08:37🔗
Adam
So, Tracy, so you want to get on this and knock your period down to four times a year?
1:08:44🔗
Drew
I don't, you know, not being an expert in PCO, I'm not a thousand percent sure, but I can't think of any reason that with polycystic ovarian disease, it wouldn't be a good idea, number one. And number two, you're taking glucophage? Yeah. You're taking glucophage now?
1:08:59🔗
Drew
Metformin, yeah. All right. So, good. You take that, watch your diet, lose weight, exercise, that's more important than anything.
1:09:06🔗
Adam
Yeah, good times. Hey, listen, you know, you go from 12 times a year down to four times a year, you save a lot of landfill space with them tampons and pads and whatnot, too.
1:09:18🔗
Drew
And I think a little too much is made of this PCO and the type 2 diabetes, my personal opinion. Because really, they're all overweight. They all need to really- Well, no, there's no-
1:09:31🔗
Drew
They usually are, but they got to go with the weight loss and the exercise way more important than taking them to the gym.
1:09:35🔗
Adam
She did say she was overweight by not arguing with you. She was like, got to exercise, got to lose weight, got to cut down on the brownies. She was like, yeah, check, check, we'll do. Tracy?

Okay, and this is no kidding. You don't have to do radio math. I'm completely honest.
1:10:16🔗
Adam
Anderson does that. Now, radio math checks out you're 5'2, 270. Yeah, because look, if you're 5'2, and you're 270, you're going to say 5'3.5, 250. Well, 210, that's even stretching, because sometimes I will check out these things, and I will get my car. She's calling from Ohio, but I will go down and check it out. All right.
1:10:52🔗
I can't compete.
1:10:53🔗
Adam
If 5'2, 270, that's average, but you step into like South Beach or Southern California or something, look out, you know what I'm saying?
1:11:04🔗
Adam
All right. So listen, baby doll, 5'2, 270, you got to lose a few pounds, you're 23 years old.
1:11:18🔗
Caller
Well, I've already gone in for all that and they say that I'm too fit to have it done because I could go out and exercise.
1:11:32🔗
Drew
Because usually they want you to be fit so you can tolerate the procedure and, you know, really attend to your.
1:11:39🔗
Adam
Exercise needs. Let me say this. Is there a certain amount of this that goes on in the medical profession? And actually it's probably a good thing, which is they're saying to people, look, stop relying on the surgeon's scalpel. You're 24. You're able bodied. Now start exercising and start dieting and see about losing that weight.
1:11:59🔗
Drew
They wouldn't say it's somebody like this. Somebody like this, they would say, hey, this is not going to get better without something drastic because five to 270 is that drastic. Yeah.
1:12:09🔗
Adam
But once in a while, you get somebody who can move at that weight. But Campbell had those big thighs.
1:12:15🔗
Drew
Look at her history, the genetics and everything and you go, OK, yeah, this needs a correction. Yeah, but listen, Tracy is someone that's going to fall victim to our crazy ass society, which would tell her just get some Cindy Crawford tapes and stuff.
1:12:28🔗
Adam
Yeah, you get those tapes. Well, she puts some cucumbers on her eyes when she goes to bed.
1:12:34🔗
Drew
They don't take it out. They just sort of change the stomach a little bit, change the word empties and things. Oh, you're saying, you're not saying like liposuction, you're saying stomach bypass, you know, the bariatric surgeries and she lose 150 pounds fast.
1:12:48🔗
Adam
Oh, it's crazy. I have a friend who was, you know, perpetually. And by the way, you know, if you really think about everybody and everyone, you know, you know, Drew, I met you, you're 193. You met me, I was 196. You're now 193 and a half. I'm now 196 and a half. Producer Anne's been losing 10 pounds in the nine years that have known her. I've known her perpetually, you know, my fat buddy was 300 pounds when I met him and dieting. And 12 years later, he was exactly the same.
1:13:22🔗
Drew
I mean, then we have Ron Lester, Ron Lester, 450 pounds. We met him right now. He's 100 and 108.
1:13:33🔗
Adam
Yeah. And a bunch of some TV shows and stuff like that, too. The point is, is small now. He had the gastro, though, didn't he? So anyway, my buddy finally, at the age of 40, just went and did this and pow, 100 pounds gone. I mean, the 100 pounds he's been working on for 22 years, gone in six months.
1:13:54🔗
Drew
Jesus, that's where we gotta go. I just looked at the time. Did we take a break at 20?
1:13:59🔗
Adam
We took a break. All right, let's take a break. Thrice is here. We're going to perform that gastro surgery on him during the break. Are we going to play another Thrice song? Hey, yo, it's Loveline. I'm Adam.
1:14:21🔗
This is Dr. Drew.
1:14:25🔗
Adam
Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. My wife's telling me tonight about a retarded guy she works with breaking a lot of wind in the lobby and I'm immediately amused.
1:14:50🔗
Adam
Oh, yeah. And then I announced to my wife that he has a better life than I do, which I think she took personally. But I mean, think about that, you have the guy shows up, the guy shows up. He brings his Special Olympic medals with him into work. He's 38, 39 years old. He's proud of them. He does what you he does all the stuff you wish you could do at work. I wish I could bring up one of my football trophies in and blow some gas. Hey, everybody. Look at that, 1979. That year, we went to state. Yeah.
1:15:29🔗
Adam
Couple of medals around my neck. I mean, it'd be nice. He's happy. People give him rides and stuff. He's not worried about, you know, what is this terrorist alert thing? What's he care? He's got his medals. You know what I'm saying? That's to protect him. There's a kind of a sort of allure to that. I mean, isn't there blowing wind where you don't care about the terrorists? It's just nice. That's all I'm saying. It's not so bad. I could go for that.
1:15:56🔗
Drew
It's like we were talking about my dogs yesterday when they were all high strung. I was telling how smart they were.
1:16:19🔗
Adam
They follow you around. But here's the problem. They're on guard. And I don't mean on guard like someone's going to attack Drew. I just mean they're very aware. You know, I mean, you get you get some Labrador, Labrador falls asleep in on the threshold of the door. You have to step over them. And each time the door swings shut just barely misses the dog's tail. Doesn't know. Doesn't care. Just asleep. Not just dreaming about biscuits and tennis balls and know anything, Drew's dogs are like, oh, my God, what's going on? Where's he going? What's around this corner? What's around? Labrador just wagging its tail, you know, big and fat, just looking for its next meal. What's the screw with something? You know, your dogs are unhappy.
1:17:05🔗
Adam
They know bad things could happen. That's the first thing you figure out when you get smarter. Something bad could happen. I could get hit in the head and be a retard.
1:17:12🔗
Drew
Something really bad could happen now, I'm realizing. We could go another 10 minutes and not play a Thrice song.
1:17:23🔗
Adam
What song are we going to play? Oh, we're go. We got it. Now. See, it's the name of the CD, by the way. You cute up there, Chris? Looking good? Anderson, you're looking good? This is called The Artist in the Ambulance. Yeah, that is Thrice, the artist in The Ambulance, name of the CD, also name of the song. We got Dustin Riley here from the band. The guys are going to Europe, Australia, and Japan, and then over to Oregon on their new tour. Now, when does that all happen? After the Christmas holiday?
1:21:33🔗
Caller
January 24th or 25th to like the first week of March, and then we're home for a week and we do a headlining tour across the US from March to June, I think.
1:22:04🔗
Adam
And by the way, here's how you know your band's not doing good. It's when people go, a band called, because, you know, when you're, you know, When you just go by that name, you're Vox. Yeah. Oh, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody. Oh, it's Vox. It's that kind of Vox. That's V-A-U-X. Oh, but. Ah. No, then we haven't had them. No. Because that would have made fun of that. Yeah. Yeah. See, here's what I'm saying. The band. Yeah, no one says a band called U2. They just go U2. But here's the thing. It is the band equivalent to where you're working right now.
1:22:41🔗
Adam
That is the working equivalent to a band called. Yep. You don't when you have a job, you don't want to preface it with right now. I'm refilling the you know, the vending machines that have those small little little packets of detergent at the coin out place right now. I'm in charge of those. Filming those off, make sure there's enough change to that kind of thing. Yeah, and a band called. Same thing. All right. Eric.
1:23:08🔗
Hey, what's happening guys?
1:23:13🔗
Caller
Yeah. Well, first, Thrice is awesome. They've been playing them a whole lot on the radio station here in Arizona. Really cool stuff.
1:23:22🔗
Caller
Oh, yeah. Thank you. I got a question for Dr. Drew and then I got a little something for Adam also. But Dr. Drew, me and my girlfriend went into Planned Parenthood today and we got the morning after pill and they gave it to us with no problem except the doctor told us that the effectiveness would be cut in about half because she got a flu shot today also. And I had never heard that before and I wanted to see.
1:23:48🔗
Drew
I have never heard that. I can't see how that could be the case. I don't want to say it's not true because I don't know that. But it doesn't make sense in terms of the physiology and you look at the package insert, there's nothing in there about that kind of thing cutting the effectiveness down. And ladies and gentlemen, this product will be available next to the Tylenol over the counter soon enough. This is going to be available without a prescription throughout the country finally.
1:24:21🔗
Caller
Does it ever scare you what you hear people say the doctors tell them all over the place?
1:24:26🔗
Adam
I mean, I disagree with them a lot of stuff, but do you ever get the feeling that people like to use their expertise? And I've seen you do it too, Drew, where you like to just use your expertise in a sort of warning way, in a way that lets you exercise your expertise. I mean, I find I only know carpentry, so I find guys doing it with carpentry sometimes. You're going to want to let that set up at least 24 hours for you. You go ahead and put that down and you'll go, listen, I can do it in an hour.
1:24:56🔗
Adam
And they'll go, okay, well, if you want to do it, fine. They start by exercising their expertise.
1:25:06🔗
Adam
But also, but just in general, all the knowledge they have, it's no fun when you're sitting on this wealth of knowledge and you're not really using it. It's like, yeah, here, go ahead and take it. You want to go, but listen, you should take it every, you know what I mean? I think there's an element of that and people take it very seriously and we're not sure when they're just sort of exercising their job. You have a question for me, Eric?
1:25:35🔗
Caller
Thank you, Dr. Drew. I guess there's either way, we'll find out soon enough if it's true, right?
1:25:42🔗
Caller
Right, exactly. Okay, now on the other note, me and a buddy at work here, we've been listening for about four years now, and Adam used to talk a lot about things that happen in 70s TV shows that don't happen anymore.
1:25:54🔗
Caller
And over about the last three or four years, every time an idea pops into my head, I write it down, and I've got a quick list of five here if you're interested in them.
1:26:03🔗
Adam
By the way, hold on, hold on. This is, just hang on for a second, Eric. We'd always have a laugh about the stuff, people getting hit in the head, losing their memory and having to get hit in the head again in order to regain their memory. It's a very dangerous message, by the way, I believe, from the producers of Gilligan's Island. Quicksand. I used to think I was going to go by one of the two ways I thought I was going to die. Quicksand. There's a second way. I thought it was 50-50. When I was growing up, there was a 50-50 chance I would die from quicksand at some point. Everybody did. Eventually, everyone did. Yeah. Things like that. Taking the room.
1:26:48🔗
Caller
My number one is, anytime you get a person that lived in a rich, ritzy part of town and they had to go into a bad part of town for any reason, there was always the guy on the corner that had a trench coat and was trying to sell them watches out of the trench coat.
1:26:59🔗
Adam
Yeah. There was that. There was also like a hubcap stealing way. Hang on a second, Eric. Hang on, because we got to take a break. We've got four more of these things you don't see in sitcoms anymore. I say sitcoms would be better if they had more of that. We're going to we're going to divide the apartment in half. You stay on your side. I'll stay on my side. The bathroom's on your side. Yeah. All right. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back with Thrice.
1:27:45🔗
Adam
Just talking about 70 conventions of comedy. Forgot about, you know, they would always do, it was a bad time in the 70s, but I love that comedy. Everything. They do this one, too, where it's like, you would be hiding in the closet. I'd go, all right, let's go, let me grab my overcoat. And I would open the closet, arm would stick out, hand me the overcoat. I would thank the arm. Thank you. Put the overcoat on, take two steps through the door, stop, what, what, what? It's like, really? Yeah, that wouldn't sink in for a good five count, good slow five counts.
1:28:21🔗
Adam
I like the other one, too, where the guy's sleeping and there's like a monkey in bed with him, too. And he's like, oh, no, no, no. Here's the one they would always do. Whenever a guy dressed up as a chick, the boss would always, who is this lovely new lady? They haven't seen you around here before. Fresh. Some guy look like John Goodman, put a skirt on.
1:28:51🔗
Adam
What is that? Really? How many guys, you know, could put on some heels and a wig and other guys would be hot for it?
1:29:07🔗
Caller
You're taping the room in half, by the way, was Different Strokes. I remember that episode well.
1:29:13🔗
Adam
Yeah. I think there was a Laverne and Shirley that did that one. There's been a few, but go ahead.
1:29:21🔗
Caller
Good for my time. Number two is robbers. Whenever robbers would break into your house, they always were dressed in long sleeves, black head to toe with the black beanies and the flashlights.
1:29:51🔗
Caller
Never failed. Never failed. The guy behind the table with a big plate of spaghetti all over him.
1:29:59🔗
Caller
Number four, there used to be a lot of sleepwalking, and generally it would involve food disappearing or something to be messed with and they blame someone else.
1:30:16🔗
Adam
Really? They're sitting on the sofa. You can't wake up? No. What happens when you wake up normally every day? That kill you? Really?
1:30:26🔗
Adam
Yeah. And sleepwalking and never a boner. That's the most unrealistic part of the list. You're up at 430 in the morning.
1:30:49🔗
Drew
Again, figure out the motivational priorities of the male brain. That's what's getting him out of bed. You're right. Otherwise, he's sleeping.
1:31:01🔗
Caller
I got the last one, which is the TV theme song. It used to explain the show, The Six Million Dollar Man.
1:31:08🔗
Caller
It would tell you exactly what was happening. Nowadays, you flip on to some show and you're watching it. You have to watch the whole show. And sometimes you don't understand the relationship between the characters.
1:31:20🔗
Adam
The Six Million Dollar Man and thanks, Eric. Those were all classic. Six Million Dollar Man was the best. It was like Steve Austin, astronaut. And they had the actual footage of the guy out in like the salt flats trying to land that sort of precursor to the space shuttle. Yeah. And he's laying it's just breaking up, spreading the things like crashing. And, you know, the actual guy did live, by the way. I think it was a horrible accident. And it's like, we can rebuild them that it took about 40 minutes by the time they got to the show, there was only about 12 minutes of programming they had to fill. It's actually that that's an actual that's a good idea. It's like this an hour long show. We only got to do about 11 minutes of programming every week. Because the intro is 44 minutes like this.
1:32:10🔗
Adam
We can rebuild them. It was running on the treadmill. He showed everything he had. He had the eye and the hand and made that crazy sound. Oh, man, that was a great show. Yeah, true. Yeah.
1:32:29🔗
Adam
Dog was bionic and dog didn't get an accident. They had to crush the dog and then make it bionic. Yeah. We take a break. German Shepherd, too. Not one of them weenie dogs. Take a quick break. We'll be right back.
1:33:02🔗
1-800-LOVE-191.
1:33:24🔗
Adam
Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep in the ground. I want to thank Dustin and Riley for coming in here from Thrice. Always a pleasure. We'll do it every 12 weeks. The Artist in Ambulance is the name of this CD. Look for it because it is out. And look for the guys going on a nice, big, fat tour. All right, we'll take a little extendo break. And until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying, mahalo.
