11:35🔗VoiceoverIt's the Loveline. I'm Adam. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. Angie Everhart's coming here tomorrow, and then Jeremy McGrath will be in here the following day. Yes, Drew.
11:53🔗AdamIt's weird, you know, just coming back after a lengthy layoff. And we don't go, you know, we're away for the show for what, 11, 12 days, something like that.
12:06🔗AdamYeah, we don't go that long without working ever, and I just realize I can immediately settle into whatever environment I'm in almost immediately. I was going to bed, I was drinking a bottle of wine a day.
12:28🔗AdamYeah, drink a half bottle. I come home at 1230 at night, have a couple glasses of wine, and that's that. But now, you know, popping the bottle of wine, it gets dark at five, I pop the thing at 730. It's like 10 o'clock. What happened to the bottle?
12:41🔗AdamThe bottle's gone. You know what I do? You know, it's a psychological thing for me. I'll tell my wife, like, hey, take a sip. And she'll be like, yeah, I don't want to. Take a sip. Then she takes a sip and gives it back to me. And it's like, all right.
12:53🔗AdamYeah, she drank part of the bottle. She drank at least half. Oh my God. Yeah. I went to bed last night at 11. I got up at about 11. I went to bed at 11. I got up at 1030. Got out of bed at about 11.
13:17🔗AdamJust talking to myself, wearing a beanie everywhere. Making plans about leaving the house. Well, where are we going to go? You want to go to a movie? Well, what time is it? Well, it's only 1 30. I mean, let me get up.
13:32🔗DrewIt is weird when you don't have structure, isn't it? The day goes by and you're like, I think I did a lot today or maybe I did nothing.
13:37🔗AdamWell, maybe I should leave. Yeah, you start, you leave. I left the house, like average time leaving the house, like 3.35. Just like coming out, looking around, making like ideas, had ideas about stuff. We should see a movie. I made the movie proclamation like 700 times during the last 11 days. We're going to take a movie.
14:00🔗DrewMy wife gave me that. This is why we have to leave for vacations. We have to go somewhere and do something. She's kind of right. When you're away, it makes you do something.
14:07🔗AdamIt is. It's amazing how fast you, you know, you don't want to remind what I was thinking of. I was thinking about some elderly person you visit in the hospital. They're so vibrant, so alive. And then they broke their hip. And you're looking at them and it's two months later and they're just sort of yellow. And they got the weird snot stuff in their eye and they look all dead and weird. Their teeth are yellow. And you think, what the hell happened? This kid was, this guy was the most vibrant 73 year old I've ever met. Now it looks like he's on death's doorstep. Life is one of those, it's weird. It took me about, it took me about a day and it took me about a week and a half just to realize I could just walk around in my pajamas for another 50 years. Someone would have to come extract me. And it made me think, like you thought, I'm sure, you need some boundaries. You need some structure. You need structure. Oh, you just spin off. And this, by the way, this is why welfare doesn't really work. Because if somebody said, like, look, you can maintain this. You can keep your sweatpants on. You never have to take the mucklucks off. We'll give you enough. You got enough for your bottle of wine.
15:14🔗DrewWell, first you go, no, no, I get bored. No, no, I couldn't do that.
15:17🔗AdamBut after month number eight, that's it.
15:20🔗AdamYou're just carved into the sofa, not going anywhere. And like 30 different forms of heat, got the fireplace going, got the heater going, got the hot blanket going, got the space here. Oh, yeah.
15:33🔗DrewNo, let's get reconnected with our callers.
15:35🔗AdamNo, Nicole, you're 22. And by the way, let me say this, too. You know, you want to know how you know you've arrived? When you get presents that you don't open until Christmas, even though you get them a week in advance from somebody you work with or something where somebody hands you a box at work. Hey, this is say, it's Friday. We're not going to see you for a couple of weeks. So enjoy. And they go open it and you go, no, I'll put it under the tree. And then you get around to it. That's how you have arrived, because there was a day when you would have tore through it using your teeth. And that means you're desperate. See I'm saying, I got it. You got that way.
16:10🔗DrewYou have kids and you're required to follow ritual.
16:12🔗AdamNicole. You're 22. Now, hold on. If you got kids and someone at work, they want they want to see stuff around the tree.
16:33🔗AdamAll right, Nicole. Sorry about Drew. Go ahead.
16:39🔗I'm with a guy now who hasn't had a girlfriend since he was in high school. And he's 26 now. He's going to be 27 on Tuesday. And I don't even like feel the need to want to have sex or anything.
18:18🔗DrewHow come you didn't say no? Not to mean that you could have, but I'm just wondering what was going through your mind?
18:24🔗Well, what happened was we had to, me and my sister, we had to live with him for a little bit because my dad was a compulsive gambler and he actually got us evicted from our house.
18:49🔗No, nobody was an alcoholic. My parents were normal, just my dad was a compulsive gambler.
18:56🔗DrewWell, usually other addictions go, not always, but usually other compulsions go along with the gambling, other addictions.
19:06🔗AdamLet's hold on a second. I forgot about this pace. You've got to dial it down. Like our metronome is like tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, and it's like tick, tick.
19:18🔗DrewNicole, it's like she's 22. We should have some of these things figured out.
19:23🔗AdamNicole, so you're with a guy, you're not that interested in him.
19:27🔗DrewYou were sexually abused, you were at least, you were mishandled sexually at a very young age by somebody who you trusted. You need to get some help with all this.
19:35🔗DrewIt's going to be very difficult for you to be intimate with somebody. Of course, sex is going to be something you're going to associate with traumatic and unpleasant things. And the kinds of people you're going to be attracted to, in fact, interestingly enough, will tend to be people that sort of reenact some of this stuff. So maybe a little bit self-protective not to be involved with somebody more intimately than you are.
20:03🔗AdamI understand that. Don't dump him and get some therapy.
20:05🔗DrewThat's not normal. Sexual attachment is an important part of a relationship. He's going to be very interested in that. And it's normal. Not to want anything to do with that is not normal.
20:15🔗AdamKeep him, get some therapy, and throw him a maintenance BJ every once in a while just to sort of keep his edge off just a little bit.
20:22🔗DrewSomething very else happened, Nicole. Guaranteed. Something big time.
20:34🔗CallerI was talking to my mom the other night, and we were talking about the morning after pill, and she just did not believe me that it's not an abortion pill. I could never, I knew it, like I know you talk about this often.
20:50🔗DrewCan't wait to start out 2004 with this pill. It's going to be available. Finally, the FDA is going to get around this. We're all going to have it over the counter.
20:57🔗CallerYeah, that's what I told her, and she said, oh, I don't know about that. And I said, listen to Loveline tomorrow night because I'm going to get on there, and I'm going to have Drew tell you why it's not an abortion pill.
21:07🔗DrewAll right, so how would an abortion pill work? If it were an abortion pill, how would it work?
21:12🔗CallerWell, she was saying that, well, I told her that if the egg is already fertilized, then it's too late.
21:18🔗DrewThat's right. It has a theoretical potential to interfere with that about the same as the usual way you take the birth control pill and about equal to several anti-inflammatory medications.
21:31🔗AdamWell, hold on. Let's just break this down for a second. An egg is dropped or released.
22:13🔗AdamNow, when you say down the tube, you mean up the tube, right? No. Now he's got the book out. That's always trouble. When you say down, are we moving toward her feet or toward her chin?
22:31🔗DrewThey go up and then down. They start here and they go down the tube.
22:34🔗AdamWell, how does the sperm get all the way up there?
22:36🔗DrewThe sperm goes, here's where the sperm gets put in the vagina. It swims its way up to here. This is where the sperm meets the egg is up here.
22:42🔗AdamUp there. All right. Then it comes down, meets, goes down.
22:48🔗DrewThe vagina is down here. This rib thing.
22:50🔗AdamYeah. What do I know? So here, look, here's the thing. This then, what does the morning after pill do?
22:58🔗DrewPrevents the egg from being released. That's its predominant mechanism of action. Just the way birth control pill taken every day works. Birth control you take every day can also interfere with the implantation, maybe a tiny bit.
23:11🔗AdamHow would it interfere with implantation? The sperm is coming up the tube, the egg is coming down the tube.
23:17🔗DrewBut the lining of the uterus is altered by these doses of hormones. And think about it, it's only double dose of your usual birth control pill. Does it make sense that the double dose would profoundly alter the implantation?
23:29🔗AdamDoes it make sense that Noah would look up to the heavens and build an ark? You're dealing with retarded people here.
23:38🔗DrewWe don't know that Shane's mom is retarded.
23:42🔗AdamLet's just play it safe and call her retarded.
23:44🔗DrewShane, really the only argument against the morning after pill would be to argue that all substances that have even a theoretic potential of interfering with implantation should be eliminated. So that would be Celebrex, Vioxx, Bextra and all birth control pills because they all have a theoretical potential. But it's not RU486. It doesn't abort the fetus. It doesn't allow the egg to get into the sperm.
24:05🔗AdamBy the way, I'm just a sort of a realist atheist here. There's just a huge difference between things that are microscopic, never coming to being, and things that are taking human form, not coming to me.
24:23🔗DrewThat's your position. But you don't have to argue that even. You don't have to get into that discussion if it doesn't enter into this at all.
24:28🔗AdamWell, even if it does to me because the very basis of your argument is not all that strong because it's not really anything at this stage yet.
24:38🔗DrewBut what you could say though, and I actually happened to adhere to this, is that what you know for sure is that it may not be human life at that moment, but it's going to be in nine months. It's definitely not going to be a lizard, not going to be a donkey, going to be a human being.
24:49🔗DrewAnd you're interfering with that potential.
24:51🔗AdamBut you can keep sort of extrapolating and get back to your sperm not being wasted and that kind of stuff if you really want to get nutty about it. And I just see things in shades of gray and this is as pale as it gets. I mean, it's like it's like we said, like nothing more tragic than one of your children getting cleaned out by a drunk driver on his graduation day from high school and slightly less tragic is dying at two years old of some sort of, you know, birth defect and slightly less is born stillborn or SIDS and then stillborn and then a spontaneous abortion, you know, goes all the way back. This is at the beginning of the tragedy train. This, this, you know, if you're trying to conceive a baby and you find out your wife's pregnant and the next week she aborts spontaneously, very sad, not nearly as bad as the kid drowning on the third birthday. It just isn't. I don't care what your God is. I don't care who you pray to. It's just not. All right. Thank you. Where are we, Drew?
27:03🔗AdamAlthough, yeah. But you know what? I think Christie may be sort of our generation hot chick name. And, you know, maybe your dad, it's like, oh, Gertrude is a hot name.
27:14🔗DrewChristie was, yeah, it was Christie Brinkley, Christie.
27:18🔗DrewAnd that was the later edge of that whole Christie wave.
27:22🔗AdamThere's no super fat big calf chicks named Christie. It's just it's a hot, hot name. Mallory. You know, they should do, by the way, they when I'm in charge, this is how we'll do it. You want to call your kid Christie, the kids got to be hot.
27:39🔗AdamSo it's like, hey, buddy, I want to set you up with a chick. Well, what's her? What's her name? Gertrude. No, thanks. What's her name? Christie. Fine. Bring her on.
27:50🔗DrewLike you can't call it a monster truck. It was not a monster truck.
27:53🔗AdamYou can't slap the Mercedes logo on a Volkswagen and call it a Mercedes. If you want to, you go ahead and call your kid Christie or maybe another hot name like Sam. So maybe, but they got to be hot.
28:04🔗DrewA new ritual. A new ritual. And at 13, we assign them their name.
28:09🔗AdamCall them what you want up until that point. And then at 13, I assess them and decide where they can keep it.
28:15🔗DrewSo it's like, or what they might be assigned.
28:17🔗AdamTake a look at Christie, Christie, look at her, turn her around, take a thump on her. Uh, no, you're you're Tammy. That means you're going to be a prostitute. Sorry, sweetie. Next. Mallory.
28:52🔗CallerI'm a lesbian and my like me and this girl has been going out for a while, like three months ish. And we're really serious and everything. It's just like her mom is really homophobic and she like finally found out. So her mom won't even let us like see each other unless it's in school. So I just wanted to know if there's like anything like we could do to maybe like.
30:15🔗DrewWere you physically abused or something?
30:17🔗CallerWell, my mom used to hit me around a bunch.
30:21🔗AdamThere. Well, listen, Mallory. Um, your girlfriend, her mom is concerned. Here's what's going on, Mallory. I'll just make it fast. Because it's the new year. And, um, one of my resolutions is to keep all these phone calls under 20 minutes. So here's what happened. Your dad's, uh, I don't know where. Your mom's, uh, physically abusive. Maybe an alcoholic. Usually when people smack their kid around, they've been drinking a little bit. No drinking? Worse than.
31:06🔗AdamImagine if you're in Hickory Hills, you have to work at like a jerky farm or something. Or you have to make those logs, those long burning logs.
31:14🔗DrewI'm also just imagining somebody putting, you know, distilling something into a jug with three X's on it.
32:15🔗AdamFor Massachusetts, yeah. All right. Look, I don't have any great... There's no big question here. I mean, what are you supposed to... Punch your mom in the stomach and smack her with a Birkenstock and then go down on her daughter? You're like, here's the thing, lesbian, whether the relationship is considered a sort of taboo relationship or not, when you're talking about young people that are engaging in sex and a parent intervening, we're not going to take your side.
32:43🔗AdamNot at 15. Right. All right. Hey, what good times. We'll take ourselves a quick break. We've got a little Germany, a little New Year's Germany or Florida coming up all after this.
33:17🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. You know, I like to do, I'm enjoying my Christmas tree and sort of lamenting getting rid of it. Looks nice, smells good. It really works. And you know, I think with proper care, if you get a decent tree at the right time, get three weeks out of it.
33:44🔗DrewWell, you can buy them live, potted, year round. Right down the end of that living room.
33:52🔗DrewProblem is they dry out, they're hard to keep alive.
33:56🔗AdamI just mean, I want somebody just to bring me in a new tree every like 22 days.
34:02🔗DrewIt's like flowers. Yeah, people do that.
34:06🔗AdamWell, a tree is, you know, 40 bucks, 50 bucks. But if you're really talking about once a month kind of thing, there's a little service. Guys got to schlep it up the stairs and wrap the thing around it.
34:17🔗DrewYou got to put the ornaments on and off too. Someone's got to do that.
34:20🔗AdamIt's going to run you, it's going to run you a hundred bucks a month to keep a good looking, seven foot noble or spruced, Chris, maybe fur Christmas tree decked out 24 seven, 12 months out of the year. I think it would be a better year. I think you'd be, I think you'd feel nice coming, you'd be like the dog days of August.
34:43🔗DrewBut you'd never have a special time of year.
34:57🔗AdamI'm saying it's the dog days of August. Remember how it was last year? It's like a 130 degrees at night. You come walking in through the door. It's like one of those Lipton iced tea commercial sweat all over your bags. You see that Christmas tree. Either you feel better or you're going to some sort of blind rage and kill your family. Or you just freak out and start packing the tree. All right. I'm toying with it now. I'm just saying I really, I like the smell of the thing.
35:24🔗DrewI'd expect to see it. I expect to go visit you in April, May, June and see the tree there.
36:12🔗DrewIn fact, the library has it. The library has it.
36:17🔗CallerIt's a nice library. It's kind of poor, you know. They have a three decimal system, but it's just a guy named Dewey that prides your books.
36:26🔗AdamI haven't, I mean, I got the snare drum for you. Sorry, Ben.
36:32🔗AdamI haven't, hang on a second, I haven't thought about this for a while, but the Corollas, as I've mentioned on other occasions, were frequent library. They frequented the libraries and checked out records. Yeah, my dad, that's the records.
36:50🔗DrewI'm surprised they had it together and have to do that. I'm surprised they just didn't sit and listen to the records at the library.
36:58🔗AdamOh, really? Yeah, but dad would rent them, and it's like Herb Alpert's greatest hits, but it's 11 years old, and God knows what kind of condition. You know, please, it's all warped from sitting in the car. It's, you know, if you rent records, you're basically a retard.
37:16🔗AdamComes in a brown wrapper, a big thing like a smiley record in a car that's frowning, and you know, in a sun that's smiling, saying, no, don't leave this in your car. It will warp. And by the way, do we need to pay for this so that 40-something-year-old losers can go down and get the latest Brazil 66 record? You know, here's my whole thing about it. It's like, you can't use food stamps to buy caviar and cigarettes. You shouldn't be able to go to the library and check out records. Like, look, if you can't get it together, we're not here to entertain. We're here to educate and provide some sort of nominal.
37:53🔗DrewReally, now they just provide internet access and that kind of thing.
37:56🔗AdamThat's a renting records at the library. Isn't it a man of 43? Oh, like Christ. Ben.
38:05🔗CallerAdam, by the way, I've seen so many funny people and they're funny in spurts, like a cheetah. But you, funnyness just flows from you.
38:19🔗AdamIt hurts others. I was leaving for work tonight. My wife looked at me and goes, finally, you can start talking again. Like, who else makes fun of me?
38:30🔗DrewI mean, she was having to take the absorb, absorb all the energy that I normally take every night.
38:41🔗AdamCracked mended. All right, go ahead, Ben. Are you giving us a Germany or Florida or not?
38:45🔗CallerAll right, I got your bone. This is a 59 year old man, lives by himself. He turned C now. He actually, they found out he fell down some stairs and broke his shoulder. And they put a brace and a bolt, an actual metal bolt in his shoulder. They left him there overnight after the surgery and they came back the next morning and he had bitten through his own shoulder and gotten the bolt out of him, out of himself.
39:27🔗DrewStories like that, those almost don't apply. I could regale you with bizarre medical stories and they occur in every state and every country.
39:35🔗AdamNow, if you break a bone badly, they'll put a bolt in it.
39:52🔗AdamIt's a pin. Oh, I was supposed to get a pin on my shoulder once. I never did. Hi, ready to rock here? Let's talk to Stacey, who's 25. Stacey. Hey.
40:20🔗I have, you know, just a quick comment. Here's the thing. I'm calling you from San Francisco, but I'm from Hawaii. And I don't know whether you know about it or not, but your show's been pulled. And it's been off the air for about close to two weeks.
40:34🔗You know, it's horrible because let me tell you something. You have a huge fan base in Hawaii. You got a lot of young people listening to you. I even signed a petition at Starbucks. People really want the show back. But anytime, you know, the radio station owners are contacted, all they say is, well, you know, we've had outraged people calling up. Turns out it's just a handful of people. There was an article in the paper written by a biased, I don't know, she's a frustrated playwright that also writes for our Honolulu Advertiser. And she just bashed your show. And she printed a segment, a short exchange between the both of you that I haven't signed offensive. And I'm part Hawaiian. I'm part of the 20.
41:11🔗AdamWell, I had Drew called me, that's about a week and a half ago, maybe a week ago and said, did you hear what happened in Hawaii? Drew is such an over-exaggerator. I just told him to forget about it and leave me alone.
41:25🔗AdamAnd then you did. But then Drew's wife started yelling at me because she likes to go to Hawaii. She doesn't think we're gonna be able to get off the plane. Well, here's all-
41:36🔗DrewThat's the way they led us to believe by the way. I was like, there was an angry mob at the radio station. The radio station really blew it out of proportion. But it's an interesting thing you bring up, which is that letter writers and complainers get unbelievable attention by people who own and program radio and television.
41:52🔗AdamOh, by the way, forget about own television or radio, own airlines. Own anything. You own anything and somebody writes a letter, that's enough.
42:03🔗DrewLoveline, the TV show almost got canceled about nine months into its first run. This is like 1996, because somebody wrote a letter to Wendy's Hamburger. As Adam had said something he was offended about and the Wendy's Hamburger sales rep called MTV and the show was canceled temporarily as I recall.
42:20🔗AdamWell, and here's the thing that pisses me off about it is, I know this sounds, it's like we can't be measured, but what about the much larger group of people who get pleasure and aren't offended by the words of somebody.
42:36🔗DrewAnd who loses access to something they want because of a pain in the ass person.
42:42🔗AdamBecause somebody who can stay away from the product, like not going to the store, not use the airline, not tune in to the radio, not tune in to the television, they have a choice. The other people, it is removed from them.
42:58🔗AdamI find outrageous and it's always made me angry that the 1% is running around the 99% through the nose. And my answer to the 1% is F you. Go F yourself. And by the way, I wish everybody, and we've had this happen with Loveline multiple times. We had it happen with Scientology. We had it happen with GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian whatever organization. My attitude is come blow me. All you idiots get in line and start sucking. I could give a rat's ass about your crappy organization. And by the way, it's only because of your crappy childhood that you got to lash out, whatever, get lost. And if everybody would just tell these people to get lost, we could have a much better society. We could watch what we wanted. We could eat peanuts on airplanes. We could do lots of very liberating activities. And so here's the thing. I said something. I don't remember what I say about anything on any given night. I try to do this radio show as if nobody is listening. And I'm not.
44:07🔗DrewNo, no, it's just though you and I are talking. And the caller.
44:10🔗AdamIt's a better way to do it because I say horrible things about my family, for instance. I say horrible things about friends, about people. I have to go see the following day. And I, you know.
44:33🔗AdamThere's just, there's no doubt about it.
44:35🔗DrewLook at Stacy, Stacy, you're Hawaiian. Stacy is not.
44:37🔗AdamWell, no, look. Look, everybody, people have their strengths and their weaknesses culturally. I'm just saying, I don't know any great inventions that have come from that. Look, we sat and talked to Don Ho for quite some time. He's the smartest guy who's ever left Hawaii. And he's dumb as a rock, this guy. And Don's like. Listen, Stacy, look, the people know how to party over there. They know how to put a pig in the ground. They don't like to work that much. They have huge calves. They have great looking calves over there.
45:11🔗Everything you said that got us kicked off, actually.
45:12🔗AdamThis is everything that got us kicked off. But it's pretty, actually, some of it's pretty bad, Adam. All right, well, let me just say this.
45:30🔗AdamOkay, well, listen. I think the problem is, is I think, I think, and here's the thing. Oh, I think here's what the problem was. I think they took it, I think it became a racist thing. When I was treating Hawaii like I would treat West Virginia.
45:48🔗DrewYes, you were basically saying people live in the sun.
45:51🔗AdamWe make fun of Florida. We do nothing but make fun of Florida. I do nothing but make fun of Riverside. I do nothing but make fun of where are other good places that we never, what's the other one with the Bakersfield? But here's the thing. I think the problem is, is that's not, those people don't have a color or culture.
46:20🔗DrewAnd by the way, and then I take the brunt of it because the sort of general idea is, well Drew, why don't you rescue this? Why don't you, I'm not, I'm not, I can't stop everything that Adam says or what about everything you said.
46:31🔗You didn't do anything to, you know, it's just banter between the two of you and it was funny, you know?
46:35🔗DrewIt wasn't, it wasn't so spirited. And listen, I love Hawaiians, I love Hawaii. I'm very set that we would get them.
46:42🔗AdamYou don't need the Hawaiians, but you like the island.
46:43🔗DrewDrew, you're actually, you're agreeing with Adam.
46:46🔗DrewThat what? But why, let's say, hey, wait a second, wait a second. Really, what am I, I'm agreeing that when Adam says something racist, that that's me to start chiming in. I read the transcript.
46:56🔗AdamI don't remember you saying it, but I read the transcript.
46:57🔗DrewOf course, well, the transcript, listen. The fact is, you take things out of context. I know what's in my head. I'm not, I'm not going along with the racist. You never hear that kind of thing from me. I know that.
47:07🔗DrewI just may be going, I may just be going, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah. Right?
47:11🔗Yeah, they have you saying things, but I don't think you said them.
47:14🔗DrewWell, what, what it is just, you know, sometimes I'm just giving Adam something to work off of. And not really listening to what, what the intent is there or, or really thinking that somebody's going to take what he's saying seriously, which is a problem. I will try to pay attention to that much, much better.
47:26🔗Have you ever been pulled from a city and, you know, return? Is there any chance if you meet?
47:32🔗AdamYeah, we've been pulled from cities and return.
47:36🔗DrewAll the time. MacArthur, Yeah, that's happened, that's happened a lot.
47:39🔗AdamSure. Yeah, this could happen in Hawaii. I could pick up on another city.
47:42🔗DrewIt happened in San Francisco because of a letter writing campaign about five years ago.
47:59🔗AdamShe had a triple digit IQ, they tossed her right out of the place.
48:02🔗DrewI see, okay, now Stacey, now what if I had gone along with Adam when he just said that, right? Would I have been serious? You think I was serious if I had gone along with that? No, we're kidding around.
48:11🔗Yeah, exactly. And I think, you know what? The vast majority of people, they agree that it's, you know, it's just, you have a sense of humor and you're going with it. It's just that small handful of people who, you know, voice their opinions and-
48:31🔗AdamI mean, worse than others. And I agree. If anybody pulled any kind of transcript from this show at any given point of this show at any given night of the week-
49:08🔗AdamLook, I don't know how many cities we're on. I don't care. I don't know when we're polled. I don't know when we're added. I don't know about any of that stuff. I don't know who's listening. I just assume no one is. And like I said, including my family.
49:22🔗DrewOh, that you must make that assumption. You couldn't go home at night otherwise.
49:25🔗AdamCall my dad a pussy 7,000 times on the radio. Maybe more. Yes?
49:31🔗DrewThat's the nicest thing to say about him.
49:33🔗AdamLook, I have my opinions. They're coming out. That's it.
49:36🔗DrewAgain, if you read a transcript of what I just said.
49:39🔗DrewThat would sound horrible. All right. But I'm just giving you a little something back. Of course. I don't wish your dad ill. I don't have negative feelings about your dad.
49:46🔗AdamHawaiians are geniuses. I think that's obvious.
49:49🔗DrewStasius. With Stasius wine. Therefore all Hawaiians are geniuses.
49:51🔗AdamWith needle thin calves. Listen, all the great scientists have come out of Hawaii. All the great inventions. Telephone, Hawaiian invention. Telegraph, Hawaii. Television, Hawaii. Automobile, airplane. All out of Hawaii. Where do you think penicillin came from?
50:12🔗AdamThey got inventions. They got the super long shorts. Got the surfboard and they got the bong. I think the bong. I'm gonna check into that. All right, anyway. They're good at what they do over there. And maybe we can add letter writing campaigns to that short resume if things are good at now. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hey, everybody, Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. All right, buddy boy, ready to get back to the moment? Yeah, all right. Did you have trouble during the break figuring out what day it was?
51:12🔗DrewOh, yes. Well, I had a lot of activity, patient-wise, this week, and so I always had to go in, I always had to do stuff, but I would still get confused on weekend and holiday.
51:21🔗AdamAnd I got screwed up on New Year's, screwed everything up.
51:24🔗DrewYeah, what day was that? Was that Friday? Was that Thursday?
51:27🔗AdamYeah, it was weird, yeah. But good times, so. Hey, that's a good sign, by the way, when you're not sure, like I said, well, it's either a good sign or a horrible sign when you don't know what day it is. Either it means life couldn't be better, or you're in the tank, you're in the hole in prison, and you haven't seen daylight in like 27 days, or you have dementia or Alzheimer's or something like that.
51:56🔗DrewOr you're a late night radio host who had a couple days off. Speaking of in the tank, I've got a thing coming out on ABC primetime, like January 28th, something like that, where they follow me in the tank. They follow me through a course of treating a few patients, and it really came out nice. Very, very interesting, dramatic stuff.
52:33🔗AdamOh, they had this, the one I watched last night.
52:36🔗DrewI do too, by the way, because they don't see what's really going on.
52:39🔗AdamThey never, they was asked, and they have to sort of, the reporters have to sort of say, play devil's advocate.
52:45🔗DrewThat's why they have to be journalists, but I'm not a journalist, and we bring out what really is going on with these people.
52:49🔗AdamThey had some, oh, it's a great story. This chick, I mean, next time you think your life sucks. This woman, she's from the South, she marries some guy, guys like captain of a football team, strapping, good looking, outgoing guy. Somewhere in his 30s, he starts like beating on her, and then as it becomes violent, and then he has trouble with his motor skills, and blah, blah, blah. Next thing you know, he has Huntington's disease.
53:17🔗AdamWell, because you're a doctor. What the hell? You tell me a door's dragging him. I'm gonna tell you that the jam's out of whack. You're a doctor, but that's pretty good. And I was dragging it on a little. I knew you'd jump in. Also, I wrote Huntington's down here. You don't think you saw it. Here's the point. Guy has Huntington's disease, a horrible disease. It's passed down. Okay, or 50-50 chance. Anyway, he starts beating the crap, and it turns out he's got this thing, and now his muscles are starting to fall apart, and his poor wife is having to take care of him. Before you know it, the guy's like in a diaper, and he can't speak, and they feed him through a tube, and he tells her he makes her promise that he'll never drop her off at a nursing home, but she has to break the promise at a certain point, because now her two sons start showing signs of this Huntington. And apparently, and you stop me if I'm wrong, it starts kicking in in the mid-20s or early 20s, and there's a test for it, although they didn't have a test for it back then. And then there's people don't want to know whether it's going to kick in or not. But then they drop their keys and they have to question themselves, what's going on? Is this horrible disease for which there's no cure that's just going to eat my body, just ravage the body. So at a certain point, she drops the, now she's taking care of the three, she puts the father into the home, the father dies. The poor two sons have seen the father just wither away from the big strapping lumberjack guy to the guys crapping himself and the hands tremors and the feeding tube. Now the sons are in their mid thirties, know that this is their fate.
54:55🔗DrewAnd they say, don't let that happen to me.
54:56🔗AdamThey say, don't let that happen to me. Then they say, mom says, no, I'll take care of you. So now the mom's taking care of like the three of them. And this poor woman's like, the bags on her eyes size of duffel bags, this poor, you know, these women, they got that thousand yards there just seeing their husband and their two sons just being ravaged by a disease, you know, and they're taking care of them and lifting them out of bed and blah, blah, blah. Ventures got to take the two kids and put them in a thing. And the two kids are now bedridden now. And they're just using it. They got a catheter in and a feeding tube. And then two sons are like, you got to kill us. We want to go. We don't want to just lie here and then we can fed ping. And you know, you got one tube going in, you got another tube going out basically. So one day.
55:37🔗DrewAnd by the way, it's not just like they're all there. They're in and out. They can barely move around.
55:41🔗AdamYeah, in and out. So eventually after some begging and then the kids are, they're all over the place. Yeah, they're in and out, but they try to kill themselves. It didn't work out. She comes in there with a gun, puts a bullet in both their heads. In the waiting room, she's a mess, obviously. And it's like, well, we got to prosecute. You know what I mean? And again, and I was just screaming at the set, slippery slope, slippery slope. One of these jackasses is going to say slippery slope. Because it's a slippery slope, Drew, because if you let her walk, then what's to stop a guy from gunning down his entire little league team and walking? We got to let him go.
56:20🔗DrewOf course. Because we've gone down that slippery slope.
56:47🔗AdamThese two guys were just- And by the way, how goddamn selfish is it for you to decide? You know, it's all that, well, who's playing God? You can't play a- Talk about playing God!
57:17🔗AdamAll right, we gotta take a break. I don't know how many calls we got to, but I'm outraged with those posties and they're playing God. All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
58:42🔗DrewWhat is it about many of the guys, and this is something that I don't think actually hear discussed on Queer Eye, but of the five shows I've watched, two of the guys, two of the...
59:25🔗AdamThey're gay before. Yeah. And I got this to say because my wife is like, oh, we got all these things they got to do. I realize the difference between me and the Queer Eye guys, I mean the guys that need help, I know what I need to do. I'm just not doing it.
59:40🔗DrewOf course not. Well, that's what straight guys do, that's the point.
59:43🔗AdamYeah, but these guys are clueless. Yeah. I could cook up a nice meal, I could pluck my eyebrows, I could put a little product in my hair.
59:50🔗DrewYou also design stuff, you do interior design stuff.
59:53🔗AdamWhat do I care? I got a sense of humor and I'm married. What do I need to do?
59:58🔗DrewThis is somebody without a name, who is 20, who wants us, she's gonna describe herself and you're gonna name her. All right, Mystery Caller. Yes.
1:00:10🔗CallerOkay, well I just, earlier I heard your segment and you were talking about Gertrude being, you know, you heard it and it would just totally turn you off.
1:03:31🔗AdamYeah. Well, I know you're bringing Stevie Nicks up as a negative example, but Stevie Nicks was smoking hot from age 13 to age 45. I mean, yeah, it's not a good example of an ugly person named Stevie, right? If you take a look at some of those Fleetwood Mac records from the early 70s and you see a 22 year old Stevie Nicks there, you're going, wow.
1:03:54🔗DrewYou're too young. He's too young. He would know better. You ever heard of Louis Armstrong?
1:04:01🔗AdamYou could know what Stevie Nicks used to look like, couldn't you? I mean, I don't like to look up pictures of her from before, sir. Take my word for it. Nobody better looking at music except for the Phillips chick from the Mamas and the Papas who was crazy smoking hot too.
1:04:43🔗CallerYeah, I hooked up with my friend on New Year's at a party and then I hooked up with her again the day after. And she, I think she keeps, wants to keep on going and I don't know how to tell her that I don't really want to.
1:04:59🔗AdamAll right, well don't hook up with her anymore.
1:05:01🔗DrewJust don't be available. Just give her a sort of a slow down sign.
1:05:15🔗AdamYeah, just don't, you don't have to get in a weird sit down with her. Here's the thing about people. People are like, they're like raccoons sniffing around your garbage. They put the lid on tight. Don't throw any ribs away. And raccoons starts heading over to the neighbor's house eventually. They just move on. You don't have to go out there with a rock salt in your shotgun or turn the hose on. You just kind of, whatever they were sniffing around for.
1:05:44🔗AdamUnless they're nutty raccoons. I've had a few of those. Even the nutty raccoons, they just hang out longer. But eventually they can't get in the can.
1:05:53🔗DrewTrouble, they hang around, they tip stuff over.
1:05:59🔗DrewProvided you don't go out there and start throwing stuff at them because they grab it and eat it.
1:06:02🔗AdamThen they get weird. Yeah. Then you go out and start screaming at them and you throw a lemon at them and then they eat that and the next thing you know, it's weird again.
1:06:10🔗AdamWe're talking about people though, right? Huh? I got raccoons that live next to me. I hear raccoons getting it on or effing or fighting or something. They're crazy.
1:06:23🔗DrewYeah. We usually have one, like when a bunch of little ones come around. Yeah.
1:06:26🔗AdamThat's always, that's always cool. Like when they, they, they, they, they follow them. That's the best thing in nature with the ducks or the raccoons or anything, the possums, whenever they're walking, the mommas walking, they got the three or four behind them. Then you clip one in your car. Samantha?
1:06:45🔗CallerI'm just sort of curious as to, because I listen to you guys all the time and I'm starting now just to date this guy who told me that his father passed away when he was 13. He's 25 now and just sort of knowing, having that kind of like traumatic thing happen early in childhood, just sort of wondering from you guys, like what kind of characteristics should I sort of expect?
1:07:17🔗DrewDepends on what the relationship was like with the dad.
1:07:19🔗AdamWell, also some of these guys passed away because after a little too much meth, the cops tried to restrain him with a nightstick and cut his windpipe off or something like that. If he's an out of control guy, how did he die?
1:08:11🔗DrewSamantha, Samantha, you're looking for trouble here. You're looking for trouble. Why do you want this guy to be a problem? Hello? You really, is it hard for you to be close to somebody? It's hard for you to be doted over yourself?
1:08:23🔗AdamYeah. Where's your dad? That's the real question. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
1:08:33🔗AdamYeah. True. I asked this question to Jimmy a little bit earlier in the week, and we both arrived with the same number. What do you think the average age kids turn the corner on mushrooms, not the drugs, the vegetable, and start liking mushrooms? All kids hate mushrooms, but at a certain point-
1:09:02🔗AdamBut then at a certain point, you start realizing pretty good in an omelet, pretty good on pizza for some God knows, God knows what the hell, taking little pieces of paper and tearing it up and dropping it on top of your- Yeah, you take a little piece of construction paper and drop it on top of your pizza, why it makes it so much better, but it is for some reason. What is the age you turn the corner? Now, I'm not saying-
1:09:23🔗DrewThe average age or the age of what everyone has turned the corner?
1:09:47🔗AdamI don't know why it's funny. I've decided though it means we're all geniuses. I know it seems sort of self-serving. All right, 16, we have a doctor, we have a late night radio show host. We have a building entrepreneur, that's what I'm saying. We've all decided 16 years of age. And Jimmy and I should put a finer point on it. On your 16th birthday, maybe 16 in three months.
1:10:17🔗DrewAnd about a two and a half year variance on that. In other words, it kicks in no one before 13 and a half 14. Right. And then it's done by 18 and a half 19, everybody by then.
1:10:29🔗AdamRight. Let's just do a quick experiment. Desiree?
1:10:45🔗Do you eat them raw? Anyway, raw, cooked on pizza.
1:10:50🔗AdamAlways like them. Always like them. Nate? Nate, yeah. Nate, you're 16. Do you like mushrooms? You do? Yeah. And how long would you say you've liked the mushrooms?
1:11:18🔗AdamIt's almost unfair to use the pizza though, because kids love pizza. Yeah, but that's the first.
1:11:24🔗DrewAnd that's because somebody ordered a pizza and it happened to come with mushrooms.
1:11:27🔗AdamSo they ate it anyway. The question is, is Nate. Nate, this is Adam, and I want you to be honest with me. Totally honest, okay? If you were ordering a pizza alone two or three years ago, and you could only have one topping, would it have been mushrooms?
1:12:43🔗CallerYes, I'll need tobacco. I don't do anything else. But I wanted to know, I'm on the nicotine patches, but I want to know, is that the best way to do it? Is wean yourself off slowly or just quit cold turkey? Because I am really having a tough time.
1:12:59🔗DrewThe best way, from a scientific standpoint, the combination of treatments that has the most success is the Zyban or Welbutrin with nicotine replacement, either the gum or the patch.
1:13:10🔗AdamWell, the best way to quit smoking is to never start.
1:13:20🔗AdamI love that good blowhard guy. Yeah, the only way to prevent the spread of, not to have, yeah, just not to smoke. I mean, that's the only, that's the easiest way.
1:13:43🔗AdamI always want someone to go, hey, that's a wonderful piece of advice, you a-hole. Get the F out of here. And thanks for nothing, you retard. Yes, Erin. So that's the best way.
1:13:54🔗CallerIs to get on the well-prepared list.
1:13:56🔗AdamIs to never, no, is to never, no, the bet, no. What Drew's saying is number two. What I'm saying is the best way to quit is to never start.
1:14:05🔗DrewWell, being that I've already started it out.
1:14:08🔗AdamOkay, but there are other people who are interested in quitting who haven't started yet. And I'm telling them the best way for you people who haven't started smoking yet to quit is to not start. Or start and build a time machine, which is my plan.
1:14:26🔗DrewSo listen, nicotine replacement is great whether it's gum or patch. It's a good way to go.
1:14:31🔗DrewIt's a great way to go. And don't worry about coming off the path. If you stay on for a long period of time, it's not a big deal. If you have trouble coming off it, anything is better than inhaling that smoke. Well, or smokeless tobacco is also better.
1:14:43🔗AdamYeah, now why, let me ask you this, Drew. Why is the nicotine gum okay, but the tobacco dip so bad?
1:14:52🔗DrewBecause in the gum, it's just a plastic, what's I'm looking for, sort of a complex that holds pure nicotine. Tobacco has got all kinds of crap in it. The carcinogens are not the nicotine.
1:15:18🔗DrewYeah, mostly because it's a more concentrated version. People put those big, big doses into their mouth.
1:15:23🔗AdamWhat would you rather have your kids do? Would you rather have them, let's say age 20 to age 60, would you rather have them dip daily chewers or smoke half a pack a day?
1:15:48🔗AdamRather smoke half a pack a day than dip. Is it dip, is there refining out that there's more problems with dipping?
1:15:55🔗DrewIt's that the cancers of the mouth and tongue and larynx are so devastating and so likely that it's almost where you can sort of do things to help prevent the heart disease and help the lungs and decrease the risks of cancer and stuff.
1:16:12🔗AdamAll right, so you hope they do one or the other.
1:17:21🔗CallerWell, all my friends, most of them are girls, not to mention my mom.
1:17:26🔗DrewOh, your mom, wait a minute, your mom should be freaking out.
1:17:30🔗CallerWell, she's, my mom's always kind of been one of those kind of people who she doesn't necessarily agree with everything I do, but she's kind of told me that she knows she really can't stop me, so she just kind of lets me go anyway.
1:18:12🔗CallerOkay, it's kind of hard to explain because I mean, I've run across a lot of 13-year-olds and middle school age kids and everything. He is, you'd have to know him. He's different.
1:18:23🔗AdamHe's not, he's a lot more mature and He's built like a 14 and a half year old.
1:18:27🔗DrewYou sound like all the 19-year-old males we talked to are dating 14-year-old girls. Oh, you gotta see this 14-year-old. She's so mature. He's still 13.
1:19:16🔗DrewNo, no, I mean no. I mean, I just think that's a 13 year old being exploited. That's no good.
1:19:20🔗AdamYeah, yeah, it's a matter of degree. I'm saying that whatever it is, we're putting a zero behind it. We're supersizing it when it's, when we're getting in the side right here.
1:19:31🔗DrewYeah, but it's not in this bogus then.
1:20:10🔗DrewWell, what's that? You've got to know the 12 year old.
1:20:13🔗AdamAll right, let him ask the question, Drew.
1:20:14🔗CallerMy question is, because he's not open about being gay like I am. And we can't go out in dates, we can't go do certain things, because his parents don't know, and they start asking questions, and just a whole bunch of crap. And-
1:20:30🔗CallerMy question is, as a result of this, us not really getting to be together, should I break up with him? You know-
1:20:38🔗AdamAll right, well, hold on, hold on a second. That's not a question, it's stupid. And this is bogus, because you with your neighbor, who is a male, can hang out as much as you like, because his parents don't know that you guys are dating. So then it's just a couple of guys hanging out. I mean, you can go to the movies, you can go to the ballgame, you can go to the park, you can do whatever you want.
1:21:01🔗CallerI'm open about being gay, I'm not kidding. The neighborhood knows I am.
1:21:08🔗AdamOkay, Drew, we understand. Okay, the neighborhood knows you're gay, then why don't his parents know?
1:21:14🔗CallerThat's the thing, his parents do know, so that him being with me, that would begin to get his parents a little suspicious, don't you think?
1:21:23🔗AdamI do, but his parents have already seen you guys together quite a bit, haven't they?
1:21:27🔗CallerNo, we have to, when we are together, we have to, I mean, we have to really hide what we do.
1:21:32🔗DrewHow do you do it? What do you do to hide?
1:21:34🔗AdamHow do you just penis through a knothole on the fence?
1:21:37🔗CallerI have to like meet him when he's coming home from school or when my mom's not home, he has to like sneak into my house or when his parents aren't home, I have to sneak through, you know, sneak into his house and, you know, we have to worry about his...
1:21:48🔗AdamYeah, okay, but let me explain something, by the way. When you're 16 and you're banging a 13-year-old, that's all you do. You should be sneaking around. And by the way, all the sex you're having, like before 18, that's all there is is sneaking. You don't get to do it on the sofa during Passover. We have to sneak. Of course you have to sneak. You're banging an eighth grader. It's against the law. It's not good for him. And Nate had a certain cold calculation to him that frightened me just a little bit. So Nate, I'm glad you're comfortable with yourself. We don't condone the relationship.
1:22:23🔗DrewNo, being comfortable with the gender is, our sexuality is very different than being a predator, which is what you are.
1:22:27🔗AdamAnd we'll be back. Okay, Friday's Love Line, I'm Adam Nitz, Dr. Drew, phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Alrighty, let's get to the phones and speak to Jennifer. Jennifer, 17. Jennifer? Hello. Okay, what's up?
1:23:33🔗DrewI mean, the guys are so much more primitive. Guys are like, oh, he marked her. That's no good. Spoiled.
1:23:39🔗AdamLook, a guy could, if there was a guy who wanted to go see the movies that you don't want to see, spend time with, go to the spa with, have lunch with. With your girlfriend. If he never touched her, you have zero problem with it. As a matter of fact, great. Fantastic.
1:24:01🔗DrewBut if he marked her with his man proteins, bad. Yep. Spoiled. Soiled. Done.
1:24:35🔗AdamAnd by the way, you're 18 and this guy's 17? This is a bold move for, you know, I mean, when you're 17, you're dating an 18. It's a year, big deal. That's a big deal when you're 17 to 18.
1:24:47🔗DrewShe just turned 18, they're both in the same grade, kind of thing.
1:25:01🔗CallerI've never felt that way about anyone else, but like, I do everything for him. And there's like not a lot that I wouldn't do. And he says he wants to like, you know, get married in the future and all that stuff, which I kind of can't believe just to these parents. And like, they have that kind of a background also, but I can't get over the fact that he did that.
1:25:23🔗DrewThen cut them loose. You're only, you're 18. That's the way these relationships go. That's what they're supposed to do. They're supposed to end.
1:25:42🔗DrewThere will be other guys, Jennifer. You're 17, 18. Marriage is 10 years away. Don't, you're just trying to figure out what you want.
1:25:49🔗AdamOh, and these proclamations of, I'll never, never felt like this before.
1:25:53🔗DrewOh, no. Of course you've not. You've only been 18, never before.
1:25:56🔗AdamYou were like carpooling to junior high two years ago. Of course you never felt this way before. By the way, you shouldn't be able to use that until you're 25, at least 25. That would be one of my mandates when I'm in charge. You cannot start throwing around things like, oh, old school and stuff like that when you're 19. No. And you can't say like, I've never felt this way before. I've never loved this way before. You gotta be at least 26. I think 28 would be better. All right.
1:26:30🔗AdamLet's make it 25. Here's the thing. This is gonna spoil it. Drew, how many times have you had this in a relationship where something came up commonly referred to as a deal breaker? Like this something you couldn't get past. You weren't gonna get past it. Whatever it was, you found out she was with one of your friends or she cheated or you cheated.
1:26:54🔗AdamIt was just something. Whatever it is. And you know you're not gonna let her get it. You can't get past it, but you try. You stick with it.
1:27:48🔗AdamI don't like it. Yeah, and you got that little girl voice too. It always scares me. Okay. Find a new guy. Why are you doing everything for this guy?
1:28:00🔗CallerI think I have a problem with like, I get it patched really easily. Like I've had one boyfriend before, like that's a serious boyfriend. And like I would do anything for him too. It's just like, when I'm committed, I'm committed.
1:28:24🔗AdamAnd let's do this, by the way. Here's what we should all do, except for me, in 2004. Let's stop taking negative stereo, not stereotypes, but negative personal attributes and spinning them into something strong. I can't stand these people. Hey, listen, I speak my mind. And if you can't handle the truth, well, then you shouldn't be around me. Now, a lot of people are put off by me because I tell it like it is. Now, they're put off because you're an asshole. That's why they don't like being around you. Not because you speak your mind. Hey, I say it like it is and a lot of people can't handle the truth.
1:28:58🔗DrewI love euphemism. I have a strong personality. Or he's got anger. He's got a temper on him. Got a temper.
1:29:05🔗AdamThat's a passionate man. Yeah. Now, I've heard this. Somehow, in the last five years, it's become in vogue for people to describe themselves as truthful people who aren't going, you know, I'm not going to lie to you. I'm a truthful people.
1:29:21🔗DrewPeople can't handle the truth, and I speak the truth.
1:29:22🔗AdamAnd a lot of people can't handle that. So it's like, I'm so much more evolved than everybody else.
1:29:35🔗DrewYou're blowhard, a-hole. No, no, you're hostile and you're aggressive. You're hostile, you're aggressive.
1:29:39🔗AdamYou're an a-hole, you're blowhard, you're pompous, and nobody wants to deal with you because you're an a-hole. Not because you're truthful, a-holes. And by the way, your explanation of you being truthful is just one more rung in your blowhard, a-hole ladder, by the way. Yes, this very description is why people hate you. Jack-offs. Hey, and if you can't handle, oh, shut up. Stop giving the explanations about why people hate you. And look, if people don't like you, they don't like you because of you. And I'm tired of this thing, too, where there's this sort of this thought that, well, we just pick a certain amount of people we don't want to be around, and then a certain amount of people we idolize, and that's how it is. It's so unfair to those. No, everybody gets judged. If you're a good person, if we like you, fine, we like you. And if not, it's your fault. There you go. That's how it works, everybody. At least people like to sit around and question. I do the work of 20 employees, yet I get fired from every, no. Now, who is that? Start looking in the mirror. You don't get invited to the party and someone else got invited to the party. It's because we like the other person better than you. Yes. Why is the question? And it's not because we're bad people. It's because they put something forth or you put something forth that was negative. Just start owning it. That's all I'm saying. You got all weekend to sit home and think about it. Let's talk to... We didn't invite you apart because you're so truthful. Desiree? You're 15?
1:32:15🔗CallerAnyways, I've had that since I was small. And I was thinking, I was wondering if like, cutting was sort of trying to replace that.
1:32:25🔗DrewYeah. It's another kind of a behavior. People, the amazing thing about humans is they want to make sense of all of our behaviors. And a lot of our behaviors, a lot of our thoughts, do not follow any sort of a rational sort of structure. And the brain is basically trying to manage overwhelming states, trying to often dissociate. It's usually trauma survivors, Desiree, that have these behaviors. Were you neglected or abused or sexually abused or something growing up?
1:32:56🔗DrewI understand, but well, again, you were in the situation.
1:32:59🔗AdamYou were in a family that was planning on abusing you.
1:33:02🔗DrewYeah, be that as it may. The point is, the cutting particularly is a sign of trauma survivorship. And it's often associated with something called dissociation. It's a disconnect of certain emotional centers of the brain from other parts. And the body only has very primitive means to try to manage these feelings that you don't have access to consciously or intellectually. The wiring's just not there right now. And so people will do drugs and people will cut and people will act out sexually. They're just ways to try to feel better. And they don't work, but it is a sign of how seriously disturbed things are and it needs treatment.
1:33:33🔗AdamAll right. Well, a little therapy for you, baby doll. And you heard it from Dr. Drew. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
1:34:04🔗AdamHey, yo, it's Loveline, I'm Adam Lentz, the good doctor, Dr. Drew. Good to be back there, kiddies. Oh yeah. All right, you ready to go here?
1:34:16🔗AdamTalk to Sydney. Sydney's a hot name, so you're gonna have to check and see if she was hot when I'm in charge. Yeah, that's a hot name. Sydney?
1:34:36🔗AdamDrew, please. There's a certain responsibility in a hot name because like if you hear you're being set up with Sydney or your study partner, Sydney, or your tutor's gonna be Sydney, this chick named Sydney, you think, and then she's a behemoth, it's like, Christ, you know what I'm saying? It hits harder than if her name is-
1:34:57🔗AdamYeah, if her name is Sue, you don't go in with any, and Drew's wife's name is Susan, but I'm just saying, if you have a sort of neutral name, like even Jennifer or Sue or something, you're not going with expectations, could go good, could be a disaster. You get Sydney, you go in with high hopes, yes? Yeah, it's true.
1:35:22🔗CallerWell, my question is, I've been dating this guy for about two or three months, and I have a six-year-old, and he has a two or three-month-old, and we've, we talk quite a bit and stuff, but he's always at his ex-girlfriend's house, always. And I'm not quite sure of the situation there, because I don't really talk to him about it or anything, but-
1:35:52🔗DrewI thought you talk all the time. How do you avoid something like, that's real important in his life? What do you talk about?
1:36:01🔗DrewYou don't want to pry because you're afraid of what you're going to find.
1:36:03🔗AdamWhat do you mean, always at the ex-girlfriend's house?
1:36:05🔗DrewIt may not be the ex-girlfriend. Maybe his live-in girlfriend, and Sydney's something on the side. Well, they talk all the time, but this is again that we're so honest, we talk constantly.
1:36:56🔗DrewYeah, it's unspoken because you will, or you're refusing to bring this major issue up. This is the, this is the, this is everything in your relationship.
1:37:03🔗AdamWell, it's the child's mother. I mean, what if the guy says, well, look, I'm picking up the kid, I'm dropping off the kid, we're the kid's parents.
1:37:48🔗AdamThat's just like, how often you see him? 1-1,000, 2-1,000, 3-1,000, and then, hmm? The hmm is supposed to be what you're doing to buy time.
1:38:17🔗DrewBecause he goes home to his girlfriend.
1:38:18🔗AdamIf he's never stayed at your house, why do we get the six second count before you answer? Please pick it up, would you, darling? Or maybe I didn't bring that up 20 seconds ago. Okay, you're angry or whatever. Look, don't screw your kid up. That's your number one goal. Number two is, is you don't want to ask this guy questions because you don't want the answers.
1:38:40🔗DrewYou know the answers. He's not, he's not your...
1:38:48🔗DrewThat's good, because he's not going to be around very long.
1:38:50🔗AdamHow can he be over six days a week or six nights a week and never met your daughter?
1:38:55🔗CallerWe usually go out and have breakfast or lunch or dinner and stuff like that.
1:39:01🔗AdamOkay. And why is it you don't know where the guy lives? Don't you think that's a little suspicious? Haven't you ever asked to go to his house?
1:39:10🔗DrewWhy don't you ask that question next and you'll find out what's going on with this guy. And by the way, what does he do for a living that he can go for breakfast, lunch and dinner? It would not be there at night.
1:39:38🔗AdamI feel sorry, I feel more sorry for her kid. But look, I don't know. I don't know what you want from us. And listen, I hate to sound like a colossal prick, but really, you can't have the good three count before you answer no to something, especially on the yes or no. These aren't complex mathematical equations we're asking. The guy's never spent the night, he's never spent the night. You don't have to do a good long five count before you answer no. Let me tell you a neutral name that would, but does nothing for you. Like, okay, you're in college and you find out the name of your study partner, you're going to meet in the library and you're single and you know it's a female, Carol. Carol's like, They don't even name kids Carol anymore. I'm going in with no, I'm going with the word I'm looking for, but I'm going with no expectations whatsoever.
1:40:40🔗AdamCarolina, you get a little excited about, yeah. Lindsay. Ooh, yeah, now Lindsay, you're going with some expectations as well. That's a hot name.
1:40:55🔗CallerFirst off, I want to say, Adam, I basically idolize you, so.
1:41:01🔗CallerSo my question is, well, I went in the hot tub with a guy, but like, I don't know, I don't know him that well, but whatever. And basically, I was expecting just to like hang out in the hot tub, but he ended up kind of getting a little like rough with me. No, I don't know, he started like touching my chest and all of that. And I mean, I didn't want to like, I'm going to start seeing him a lot just because he's friends with some of my friends and.
1:41:35🔗DrewDon't be afraid to hurt his feelings. The answer is, hey, cut it out. If you don't want somebody to touch you, no, cut it out. Listen.
1:41:47🔗CallerLike my first question was, did I get pregnant from that? Because like, guys, when they get boners, they like pre-ejaculate and that holds them.
1:42:20🔗AdamI don't know why Anderson said she was Miriam when it says Lindsay on there.
1:42:23🔗DrewIt's a fake caller girl. It's a fake caller, yeah.
1:42:26🔗AdamOh, is that Miriam, the fake caller girl? Really, that's good. And Anderson picked that up.
1:42:31🔗DrewYeah, I didn't hear that, didn't hear it. But did she was she transformed herself, Miriam?
1:42:35🔗AdamBreathy and crying thing was a little bit her thing. Let me just talk to this guy. Good call, Anderson. But can you find out off the earth that was her?
1:43:52🔗AdamBack, feeling good. Angie Everhart will be in here tomorrow night. I think she's doing the Celebrity Mall. Yeah. Looking good as usual. And I did that Toyota Grand Prix with her too.
1:44:02🔗AdamGot that to discuss. Then the Jeremy McGrath, the greatest motocross rider that ever lived, is coming in the next day. And I'm gonna get some tickets for him because at the Super Bowl Motocross coming up, Drew. Oh yes.
