Voiceover
phone number 1-800-LOVE-1-9-1 Dr. Bruce, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, tattoo removal specialist, emergency medicine specialist. What doesn't he specialize in? And by the way, I've never checked in now all these things, but to me, specializing in 100 things means sucking at 100 things. You can only specialize in like two or three things. It's like you can't you can't be the world's greatest athlete in 35 sports.

Adam
All right. Don't atmosphere is here tonight. First time the band's been on the show. Yes. Yes, sir. Right. And they're going to be on Dear, Dear, Dear, Dear, Dear. In just a couple of few. What's happening? Minnesota. What's going on in Minnesota? The band's all from all born and raised in Minnesota.
2:25🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Yep. Well, everybody but this guy, the ugly one next to us, he's from Cincinnati. Don't even give him the mic. He's not allowed to talk.
2:34🔗
Oh, to your left.
2:36🔗
Oh, I'm sorry.
2:39🔗
Yeah.
2:43🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
The bread on the sandwich. We're from Minneapolis. That guy me. And it's really cold there right now. We're actually happy to be out here in California right now.
2:50🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's what. But I heard I've only been there one time to Minnesota or Minneapolis. But I heard because of the weather, they just built everything inside.
2:58🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Yeah. You know, you can get around without having to go outside in the downtown areas and stuff like that. But you still you're stuck in your house in the winter if you want to stay warm.
3:08🔗
Adam
I like I like the concept of ice fishing because fishing, fishing alone, just good weather fishing is you got to be joking.
3:18🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
You don't want to you really think there's something neat about like sitting in a shack on a lake. You saw the hole.
3:32🔗
Adam
I know. But there's something like if you sat on your sofa and got drunk on a Sunday, you got a problem with alcohol. But if you push a outhouse out the middle of the lake, you got more problems than just alcohol. You're a sportsman. Now you're a sportsman. I see. I just like the idea. Like I never knew that people had little cabins with skis on them and they push them out and they drill a hole and then they just sit there and get everything you know is from grumpy, seeing grumpy old men. No, no, I had a girlfriend that was from that neck of the woods and the idea of just sitting on a frozen block. There's probably cooler full of beer, ironically, as if you couldn't just set it on the ground. But you just sit there and get loaded, right? It's all about getting drunk.
4:24🔗
Adam
It's it. By the way, it seems like you're you're asking for trouble too when you fire up the big auger bit and you're drilling and you're standing over the hole you're drilling and seem like you just pretty good chance you may end up in the lake with the fish and some drunk guy may fish you out and eat you.
4:49🔗
Adam
Just the point is is I need to sit and get drunk and have a reason. That's all I'm saying.
4:57🔗
Adam
All right. I'm going to do that. So anyway, we're going to hear something off the CD. I'm trying to think of one else. Spin magazines named around one of the top of two thousand and three out of how many did they give you?
5:12🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
How many like two nine hundred and twelve? No, no, I think I think it was like fifty or twenty or a normal increment. Yeah, those guys are nice people.
5:22🔗
Adam
It's a little tip of the hat there from Spin magazine and these guys are going on tour and going to be playing in Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Philly, Boston, New York, Washington, DC and Denver and that's all in the next about three weeks or so. So keep keep an eye out for them. All right. Let's go to the phones because we have a question for the band. Jeff.
5:50🔗
Caller
Hey, Adam. It's fun to say that you're one of the funniest and coolest guys that's on the air right now.
5:54🔗
Adam
Thank you. I'm looking forward to coming to Fair City and and ice fishing right on. Well, let me ask this real quick, dude. There's not exactly ten thousand lakes, are there?
6:40🔗
Caller
Oh, I have a question. Like when you guys like slug, dibs, and when you guys come back to Minneapolis and play like first ever Triple Rock, like is it harder to put on a good show or like I mean is there more pressure to put on a good show or do you think it just comes more naturally because we're like, you know, we we're here to see you guys, you know? Yeah.
6:59🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I mean, there's definitely a lot more pressure, man. Like, you know, I mean, typically, any one of you can bump into me on Lindale Avenue drunk at four in the afternoon and so I gotta go like further out of my way to like, you know, give you something or I don't know. You're like, there's a lot more pressure, man. You've seen me how many times?
7:18🔗
Caller
I've seen you. I saw you guys like three times the first half and I'm not twenty-one. I actually work at the Triple Rock but I didn't see you guys at that show and I heard Deb's got hit in the head with like a bottle or something.
7:36🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Yeah, exactly and I think that's what it is. It's kind of like I can't just kind of I wish I could just get up there and like, you know, act like a fool but for some reason or another, it tends to get a lot more personal when I play in the city so it is a little bit more pressure, a little bit more neurosis.
7:52🔗
Adam
Yeah, I feel that when bands come on here from like England, like when Blur comes on and we're like, how you guys doing today?
8:03🔗
Adam
You know, they're like, they don't care because they're not none of their friends are going to hear the show is the way they're like, look, if I was doing a talk show in Italy, I just pull my balls out and I just be sitting there with my legs spread and how's that any different than right now? I just no, I'm talking about on television. I have my balls out on radio. That's because it's, you know, it's dicey in here. It's a little warm. It's gamey. I like, I like to let them breathe. But the point is, is if I, if I was in another country doing a show, I'd just be scratching my nuts and picking my nose and telling everyone to F off and not even bother, not even bother trying to come up with anything entertaining. But if you're in front of your people, you gotta, you gotta do it. So when you guys are in Minneapolis, you gotta put on a good show. And then when you go across the seats, I think you're scaring the balls out.
8:53🔗
Adam
No, that's what I'm saying. I mean, typically bands from over there. We have bands in here from England all the time and they're typically, I don't want to call them A-holes, but they're A-holes.
9:04🔗
Adam
Yeah, but they're not A-holes. I mean, like Coldplay was a nice, but we used to have a lot of A-hole English bands. And it's because I realized they don't really care. It's no big deal. Like they were putting an effort in. It's like you'd ask them a question and they'd be like, I don't know. It's whatever. They didn't even bother answering questions and stuff. And I thought about it. They're just getting back on a plane and going back to Hounslow or something. And no one, no one, they don't know. They don't care. It's the same way. Is that what I'm saying? It's like how you drive a rental car. Who cares? Throw it in reverse while you're still going forward. Doesn't matter. Just no one's going to know. You don't have to keep it. No one's going to call you on. I'm just saying you got to put out when you're in your hometown. That's all. Clint.
9:52🔗
Hey.
10:03🔗
Adam
Oh, it's a compliment. Thank you. You ought to hear how bad my ideas are when I go to England. I'm hanging out.
10:19🔗
Adam
That's a good point. Everybody out here, if you if you're in Hollywood, everyone's like, oh, this is great. It's from it's got to be great. It's from Britain.
10:31🔗
Caller
Dr. Bruce, I heard you talking a couple of nights ago about a federal and how much you hate it. And I've worked night and stock shelves and I take one or two pills occasionally to help me stay awake and be alert because caffeine doesn't, doesn't help. So I want to know. And I'm a type one diabetic too. So I wanted to hear if there's anyone else.
10:56🔗
Dr. Bruce
Well, it puts you at more risk to have arrhythmias, to have any of the problems that you characteristically have with diabetes. Because, first of all, ephedrine is one molecule away from methamphetamine to get the same stimulant effect, which is some people are trying to get a low grade stimulant effect, whether it's to stay away from it.
11:13🔗
Adam
When you say molecule, like we hear, we think that just means like Smurfs ass hair. Like we say in construction, like that one molecule, man, it's just this close, but you literally mean one molecule.
11:36🔗
Dr. Bruce
So if you take the oxygen, right, and just, for example, if you take an oxygen and a hydrogen off of ephedrine, you have methamphetamine. So that's how close you are. Now the difference is in your body, it takes more ephedrine, a higher blood level to get into the brain. Methamphetamine is more fat soluble. It goes into the brain easier. So to get that stimulant feeling in the brain, you need a higher blood level of ephedrine. And actually there's more risk to your heart, your blood pressure, your nerves.
12:05🔗
Adam
They're pulling it all off the shelves now. So people aren't going to be able to get it anymore. But what do you think young Clint should take instead of ephedrine if he wants to stay up?
12:15🔗
Dr. Bruce
He should manage his blood sugars. He should eat right and exercise and drink lots of water, seriously. Because here's the problem, after about seven days of taking any dose of ephedrine, even if it's a reasonable dose, he's going to develop a tolerance to it and need more.
12:31🔗
Dr. Bruce
It's the same thing, you develop a tolerance. Your body immediately adjusts to whatever you put in that alters your baseline state. Well, how well are you controlling your diabetes? How seriously are you taking it? Because people tend not to have the complications till later in life, and they don't pay that much attention to careful management of their sugar levels. That's when the damage is done.
13:05🔗
Dr. Bruce
If you're well high, if you drink lots of fluids, A1C's are... It's a way of looking at over a long period of time how well your sugar is controlling. Yeah.
13:15🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Hey, I used to take lots of Viber and I used to drive a truck, and I don't know if this is that similar, but I do know that when I stopped taking this stuff, I crashed, and it took a minute for me to get over the fact that I was doing that. And I'm a caffeine freak. I drink like about three pots of coffee a day. Not really that much, but it feels like that. And so I can't imagine the situation. I don't know what the diabetes like does to it, but when I was taking the Viber, it was because I had an overnight job stocking shelves, and it helped me do my job. It helped me stay awake. Even though I was getting normal sleep on the regular, it still was really hard for me to stay awake on that on that kind of on on on that. Yeah.
13:54🔗
Adam
So, mom, mom, as long as it hasn't affected the speech patterns, I think we're good. Yeah. Now, now. But OK, here's what I want to hear. Here's what I want to hear. That's right. You're on a lesson. It happens. You get on a roll and then right at the end, just all right now. I just did it there. Here's what I ask about water, how come everyone's been begging everyone to drink water for the last 15 years? And now everyone's drinking a ton of water and everyone's still fat.
14:23🔗
Adam
But you guys, you guys remember like it was like like 10 years ago, everyone would say, you got to drink more water. You got to drink like eight, eight full glasses of water every day. Every dietician would just end every sermon with more water, more water, not drinking enough water. And and by the way, people didn't drink much water. You didn't carry water with you. I mean, you didn't drink water in your car. You wouldn't have these. You didn't you didn't have these satchels filled with water and stuff like you do now. Now everyone drinks a ton of water and everyone's fatter than they ever were.
15:10🔗
Adam
Here's what I want to say. Americans are drinking 500 times more water than they drank 15 years ago. Right. You never saw anyone drinking water in their car. You never saw anyone drinking water while they were walking. They weren't chugging and walking. They weren't riding and chugging. They weren't in their office and chugging water. Everyone's drinking a ton more water. Everyone's the same.
15:34🔗
Dr. Bruce
If you're drinking your one, two, three, four cups of coffee in the morning and it gets you going, you're going to crash in the afternoon. We're not talking about people doing a line of speed and staying up for days. But if you're drinking water, the equivalent amount, you're going to have the same energy. You're going to have an even energy level, better output, better productivity during the day. Also, your body relies on water to wash out impurities.
15:56🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
What are you asking? Are you asking why are people still fat or more fat than ever?
16:04🔗
Adam
I'm saying that 10 years ago, all any of the dieticians said is everyone's got to drink more water. It's the healthiest thing you can do. Now everyone drinks a ton more water and everyone's fatter than ever. So I'm just saying, I want an apology. That's all. I want an apology from the doctors and the dieticians, all begging everyone to drink water. Everyone drinks a ton of water now. They're all fat.
16:26🔗
Dr. Bruce
No apology. And you can smell. If you look at how much sugar there is in one soft drink, if you replace just a couple of- Quiet down.
16:35🔗
Yes.
16:45🔗
Caller
He would go to work for like four hours to the eight-hour shift and then he'd be going a couple of times. He went to the strip club.
17:02🔗
Adam
If you know about it, that means the lying is not effective. Unless he's bragging about it, like, hey, I nailed five hookers.
17:13🔗
Caller
Well, he's got family and friends that I know at his work. And they're the ones who came back and told me about it.
17:20🔗
Adam
Well, what kind of puss? Rats out. The guy goes over for a little businessman's lunch, you know, with the $3.99 buffet. At the Hello Kitty and gets on the horn and rats out the coworker, the, you know, the uncle.
17:44🔗
Caller
Well, according to him, mostly he just says he's not he's not really watching it, according to him.
17:50🔗
Adam
He's reading. They got the best chili fries in all of Wisconsin over there. I put I put blinders on and pull my collar up high on my jacket. I look down at my feet and I walk with purpose right to that right to the chili fries. Eat them and leave.
18:08🔗
Dr. Bruce
Somebody says, how often is he going and how much money is he spending? And how is it impacting? How do you see it impacting your relationship?
18:21🔗
Who is this guy?
18:24🔗
Caller
He's going to all these cash stores and getting advanced money, his friend is. And then he was taking him out there.
18:33🔗
Caller
His friend is basically, I would say, influencing him to go up. Even though he wanted me to, this friend wanted me to be able to like him and be able to get along with him in his life.
18:45🔗
Adam
All right, well, maybe this is heading towards swinging. I don't know. Are these topless places?
19:43🔗
Adam
I like when they have to take care of a little business in the middle of their crappy boner rants.
19:49🔗
Dr. Bruce
So, Kelly, what's going on in the relationship right now, though? You've had a baby frequently after a baby, the sex dies down and...
19:59🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
What part bothers you the most? Is it the fact that he lied about it or the fact that he's going to this venue?
20:05🔗
Caller
Well, it's the fact that he had to lie to me about it and when I found out he had lied about it, it kind of made me feel like he wasn't finding me as attractive anymore.
20:15🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Okay, so what do you think his motive to lie would be? Is he afraid of your reaction? Is he afraid of disappointing you or hurting you or do you think it's just straight snake stuff? What's the motive?
20:26🔗
Caller
I'd probably say it's because he doesn't want to hurt me and he doesn't want me to get mad at him.
20:33🔗
Adam
Well, let me explain something with guys and lying and the syndrome that they get into with women. I'm putting Kelly on hold for a second. Here's how it works. Woman finds a guy's porn movie. Woman is surprised. What is this? Woman makes proclamation. This will not be allowed in the house anymore. Guy says, fine, fine, it'll be out of the house. Guy has no intention of getting it out of the house and then the lying begins. If you tell a guy, look, swear you'll never go to a strip club, swear you'll never beat off in the shower, swear you'll never look at another woman, swear you'll never look at any pornography, all you're going to get is a lie. Now, it's a different kind of lying than one where you're trying to bilk someone out of money or something like that. You're really just trying to let sleeping dogs lie here. You realize you've beaten off to a little porn every once in a while is not going to hurt the relationship or the way you feel about your woman, but she doesn't realize that in order to avoid a little conflict on the home front. You just lie. I mean, this is this is common. This is what guys do. And by the way, women think guys are going to strip clubs and all the strippers are going, Oh, look at Kelly's husband. The way his gut slops over his belt. Look at that big double chin and those pork chop sideburns. I got to get me some of that. Well, no, they think he's a disgusting pig with the crazy red hair and he's got the bad argyle sweater on and all they want to do is get a couple of bucks from his buddy and then move on. There's nothing sexual going on. Right. Yes.
22:02🔗
Dr. Bruce
The important part, a lot of women have a hard time and I've heard Drew talk about, you know, there's a level of maturity that is required in understanding the masturbation, you know, low level interest in pornography. But, when you get into, you know, going to strip clubs, lying about it, then you start to wonder.
22:24🔗
Adam
I was like, I like the idea of if you take, if you took a hundred guys who all went to a strip club and then reported back there with their women, it was none of their ideas. It's like, oh man, I wanted to get back to the hotel. I want to gamble. I was wanting to get to the casino, but Herb, Herb had to had to swing by Desert Puntangs and there was like I do wait in the car. I had to go in. Well, yeah, but six hours goes by pretty fast. You know, I was trying to get Herb out of there after after at ten minutes, but he wouldn't leave and then everyone just tells everyone it was everyone else's idea. All right. Let's we're going to straighten Kelly out. Kelly.
23:01🔗
Yeah.
23:03🔗
Adam
So here's the thing about your husband. You should tell him, look, it's OK to look at a little porno every once in a while and it's OK to go to strip club every once in a while. And one of your buddies is getting married. There's a bachelor party, something like that. No big deal. Some old college buddies, high school buddies back in the town go to the strip club once in a while. But you shouldn't be knocking off work at noon and go into the strip club on a Tuesday.
23:37🔗
Dr. Bruce
The important thing is that she not overreact, but sit him down and talk to him about it seriously.
23:41🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I think you should ask him, why is he lying? What is he really afraid of? I mean, I think it depends on if the lying is a is a reoccurring thing. But if you're looking at what just happened here, he basically was trying to not look bad in front of you. Wait, you know what we have to clarify? Is he lying to you or not telling you what he does?
24:23🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I think he's just insecure about how you're going to look at him. And so he's trying to hide something like that from you.
24:27🔗
But he's just eating.
24:32🔗
It's lunch. All right.
24:33🔗
Adam
We didn't solve her problem at all. We gots to take a break. Let me just say this, is someone something ringing? Oh, is that Bruce? Do we not have this conversation last night? This is what I love about Bruce. Bruce, he needs to take a phone call right now. He's a doctor who never, ever learns. Bruce, did we have this conversation last night? Are you on call? No. What's this stupid tager going off of? What's going off, Bruce? What is exactly the same thing that happened last night?
25:10🔗
Adam
Remember, we had this conversation last night? Yeah, the ring's on. Yeah, remember you said that last night? All right. Everyone, real fast, cabin fever. I got to do this promotion and we go to Brian Gutt.
25:25🔗
Dr. Bruce
He did the Alec Baldwin. Stephen Baldwin doing the Alec Baldwin. Remember when he was reading the last night?
25:28🔗
Adam
All right, let's go turn your pager back on and get out of here. All callers are good on the air tonight who are over 18 are going to get a cabin fever DVD. And that's a, you know, they get all the behind the scenes crap and all that kind of stuff. And then you register to win a ski vacation up to Whistler, which is in Canada, Dr. Drew says. And you know how Dr. Drew knows so much about skiing? Where do you think his god damn ass is right now skiing while I bust my hump over a hot mic? That's how you know, Drew's if Drew were here, ironically, not skiing, he could tell you how good it is to ski at Whistler.
26:05🔗
Dr. Bruce
He's meeting. All I know, he may be at Whistler right now meeting is continuing medical education requirements.
26:10🔗
Adam
Yeah, right. Right. Driving a snowcat and then drinking hot toddies by the fireplace with muck locks. Probably doing some ice fishing. Anyway, you call in, you get on the air, you get the DVD. If you're over 18, we put you in for the drawing and the amount I talk, we only talk to like two people over 18 every week. Like a 50-50 chance of winning this vacation. You and four friends, you go to the cabin, you go up there and Bigfoot eats you. And that's all nice. All right. Atmosphere is in studio tonight. They're going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday. We're going to take a quick break. Dr. Bruce is in the hissy. We'll hear a song from Atmosphere and we'll do all that after this. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Bruce. Dr. Bruce filling in for Dr. Drew. And this is Mr. Dibs. And Ant and Slug, and all here from- Yeah, skiing. All here from Atmosphere. We're gonna hear something off the- They love Dr. Drew.
27:38🔗
Adam
I thought it was, yeah, Pan loved it. They're gonna be, Atmosphere's gonna be on that Dear, Dear, Dear Friends show, Jimmy Kimmel Live this Friday. We'll also hear something off the new CD, 7th Travels, and all that. Oh, also I should say that Drew, Dr. Drew, you remember him, he used to sit right there.
28:01🔗
Adam
Yep, Dictionary of Medicine Specialist. We're gonna be at Stanford, and University of Stanford. Is that called the University of Stanford?
28:13🔗
Adam
It's different. Yeah, something different. How do you decide what's the University of? You gotta be a city name or something?
28:19🔗
Adam
Yeah, well, I mean, you gotta be, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, of has to be like a city or a state, maybe.
28:25🔗
Dr. Bruce
They're real picky, I know it, but it's like school of medicine, medical school. You can't make that mistake. No, really?
28:29🔗
Adam
All right, anyway, Stanford University, we're gonna be in Palo Alto tomorrow night, y'all. So if you wanna go see the show, that's all I know. I don't know where it is or how much it costs or what the deal is, but we'll be at Stanford tomorrow. All right, let's talk to Erica, who's 17. Erica? Calling from Riverside?
28:59🔗
Caller
I have a couple of questions because I wanna get a vertical hip piercing next month, my turn 18, and I was a little concerned because I read some stuff, I know you're not supposed to read on the internet, but they said that basically you become immune to the feeling after a while, and I don't wanna lose that.
29:19🔗
Adam
That's a tough trade-off because on one hand, you don't wanna lose sensation in your clitoris, on the other hand, you have to put a spear through it at some point, yes? I mean, what are you gonna do? That's tough. I like piercings, so. You just gotta put the spear through it, and hope for the best. I mean, my mother, my grandmother all went through it.
29:55🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I know, but why there? I like piercings too, but I haven't pierced my clitoris yet.
30:00🔗
Adam
But, the night is young, by the way. We may still get to that. Erica, yeah, and by the way, what about having the guy with, you know, the bone going through his nose whose smells of malt liquor, just telling you, yeah, spread them, sweetie. Hey, nice, nice shave. That's sweet. What are you, 17? That's me. That's me. That's a great gig. How much you pay him? Like you're paying him? What a gig.
30:33🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I don't know. I think that your clitoris is probably, you know, as important as like say your eyeball. Don't pierce either.
30:41🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's the hood. And what do you mean a vertical one? I'm hip to the notion of vertical, but I didn't know they had the ones, I don't know, there's a difference. They usually do the cross ones. I don't know.
30:55🔗
Dr. Bruce
And I've talked to piercing artists or experts or whatever, and they're dispelling the myth commonly. People come in and they expect increased sensation or some improvement in sexual function. That's just not part of it.
31:12🔗
You're gonna lose the sensation after about two months. My clit doesn't feel good anymore after I got mine pierced.
31:58🔗
Adam
Oh, your aunt. Wow. That's tough. When you're not black and you live with your aunt, that's problems. If you're black, that's what you do. It's like, as soon as, I mean, black's like, here, here, you take my kid, I'll take your kid. That way we'll each be raised by their aunt. There's some sort of like, aunt exchange program in the black community. I haven't figured it out yet. And I'm not sure how there's enough aunts to go around where every single person just gets raised by their aunt. I'm guessing that the aunt gives her kids to her sister to raise and therefore everyone can be raised by their aunts and not by, you see what I'm saying?
32:31🔗
Adam
Okay, all right, all right. That's, that's cruel. Okay, but listen, you hear a black family raised by the aunts, that's cool. You hear white family, that's trouble. That's big time, that's abuse. You see what I'm saying?
32:47🔗
Caller
Um, it was because I had, I was asking about anal sex. I was the girl that had anal sex before vaginal sex. Remember, remember, you tased me about it.
32:57🔗
Adam
Oh, I did? Doesn't sound like me. Okay, listen, Erika, I rarely say this, but could you find Jesus Christ or something?
33:12🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Like honestly, I think you should just shy away from piercing your hood. I agree. I think it's that simple. Like it's a easy decision to make. Like, you know, like you're gonna deal with this forever and you kind of want it to work forever and you don't want to lose that sensation because once that's gone, what the hell else you got? You live in Riverside. It's all you got.
33:33🔗
Adam
Yeah, and listen, get the hell out of Riverside and get a decent job and stop acting out, would you please?
33:38🔗
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, Erika, you know, you're free to do whatever you want, especially when you're 18, but sometimes some of the overt interest in piercing means there are some personal issues, some abuse issues in the past. You need to go and talk to somebody.
33:52🔗
Adam
Oh, listen, just don't have any kids, please. We'll put an end to the cycle. That's what it is. Don't have any kids and just do whatever you want because we're not going to talk around anything. Let's take a quick call. Someone who's bi, long girlfriend, a ton of money.
34:08🔗
Money Ashley.
34:13🔗
Ashley.
34:29🔗
Caller
I got married to a boy at 21. And Adam, I would like to say long time fan of The Man Show before I got married.
34:41🔗
Adam
All right, now hold on a second. I like it. Sounds like a stewardess from the 60s. I like that. I like Ashley. I like the cut of her jib. I want to hear a song from Atmosphere and I want to get it in this break before we have to go. So let's do that and then we'll come back. We'll take a break and we'll get to Ashley. All right, we got a song from, how are you doing there, Chris? You doing good? Anderson, you ready to rock here? All right. This song is called Trying to Find an Ambulance. Wait a minute. What word is that?
35:27🔗
Dr. Bruce
Warren came in here and asked me if I could read that. And I said, doesn't matter, Adam's going to make fun of what you wrote no matter what. I read it fine the first time, so just in defense of poor Lennart.
40:04🔗
Great song of all time.
40:11🔗
Canadians love it.
40:15🔗
Adam
Atmosphere is here tonight. We gotta take a break. When we come back, we'll speak to young Ashley 21. Perky, I like her voice.
40:30🔗
Adam
That's my girl, all right? You think you can keep from being sexually abused for about four minutes?
40:36🔗
Caller
Oh, well, I would hope I wouldn't be sexually abused in four minutes. I would be terrible to go.
40:44🔗
Adam
I'm gonna beat off. Dr. Bruce, you and Drew, you got the same thing. You like to pack it out of here while the mics are still hot. I told Drew, we're gonna go to break in about two minutes. He's like, yeah. Throws the chair out, starts walking out of the goddamn door, he's like, you wanna wait till we actually begin to break before you start taking a leak? Come on, Bruce, focus now. All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll be back with the atmosphere. Dr. Bruce, if we don't fire him in the interim and Ashley after this. Loveline. We'll be right back. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Atmosphere's here. Actually, Slug is here from Atmosphere, and here comes DJ. What?
41:59🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
All right, you be Dr. Drew, I'll be Slug, you be Ant, and you be Mr. Dibs.
42:03🔗
Adam
You got a crazy wife you gotta deal with, but other than that, it's a good life. You get to be on TV every once in a while. You get the respect of your peers, instead of them all laughing maniacally behind your back. And I can't say I'm Adam, and that's Dr. Drew 7,000 times, and then change midstream. So just be Drew.
42:22🔗
Adam
It'll be easy. And I'll tell you what, I'll make it fair. I'll call myself Andy. All right?
42:28🔗
Adam
So I'll screw my own name up. Seventh Travels is the name of the CD. When we left off, we were going to speak to Ashley, who's 21. She's bi, she's married. I don't know. Ashley? All right. Are you married to a man now?
42:58🔗
Caller
I lost my virginity about 18, in my senior year in high school. I had been dating the guy for three years.
43:08🔗
Adam
Oh, oh, because you sound six. That's what happens. Where the trauma is, that's where you get locked in.
43:15🔗
Caller
Oh, for sure, no. I just had a baby who was born about three and a half months prematurely, and he's doing just fine now. They thought that he might pass away for a while and that he's been doing great for a while. And he's actually named after my stepdad who never did a thing wrong. He actually told me, you know, go out, be wild, do whatever you want to do. That's your choice. You're an adult. That's your decision.
43:42🔗
Caller
Fuck you. No, that's not what it was. I think that I was a good child simply because that my parents told me, I trust you.
43:51🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
If you lost your virginity at 18 and you've been with this guy for three years, how do you know you're bisexual? Where does that part come in?
43:58🔗
Caller
Oh, now see, okay, not virginity in the technical way. I like messed around a lot when I was younger.
44:04🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I heard that if you do it 10 times or less, it's just experimenting.
44:13🔗
Caller
I've experimented a few times with a woman, but I would say that actually like penis in vagina and doing the whole spiel, I lost my virginity around 18.
44:27🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I think more people should call it the whole spiel. That was my favorite part. The whole spiel.
44:36🔗
Caller
Well, I'm calling because when I moved out, my parents gave me a large sum of money and I had a best friend who I had been really, really good, close friends with for a very long time.
44:56🔗
Adam
Oh, am I going to kick my dad in the nuts when I see that bastard next? A hundred and twenty.
45:11🔗
Caller
Well, if you want to look at things like I am, I'm a chair for my stepmother when I moved out.
45:24🔗
Caller
It doesn't matter how much I have left, but it matters that I married a husband who is the heir of a very large, multi-million dollar construction company and the gym. I'm very well to do right now.
45:42🔗
Caller
Well, I had a friend who I had been very intimate with in high school who I thought was my best friend forever. You know, and then after I loaned her all this money, she then just like turned around and started telling all of our friends that I lied and I made this all up and that I just lied.
46:15🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
You know what? Just why don't you look at it like you paid a thousand dollars for a piece of information about a friend that's not really your friend. For a thousand bucks, you got to eliminate somebody from your life that you didn't need to.
46:33🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
No, no, what I think you said is true. You learned. You learned. That's not the most expensive lesson. And not only that, but like the intimacy part, like, you know, like, well, you can't hold on to everybody that you've been intimate with.
46:48🔗
Adam
Quiet down, Ashley. We got to take a break. Here's what I'm going to say. I got 10 seconds here. You got bigger problems than this. There's some kind of personality thing going on with you. I can hear it in your voice. That's all I do is read voices. That's all I do. All right. So there's issues. Look into and work on them or you're going to screw up that kid. Who cares about that thousand bucks? But you got bigger fish or fry than that. And we'll be back after this.
47:11🔗
Caller
Bottom line, it sucks being single today. Tons of lame people and no decent prospects.
47:52🔗
Adam
Let Hey, everybody, it's the Loveline. I'm Andy, and that's Dr. Drew. All right, I screwed them both up. That's fair, right?
48:00🔗
Adam
All right, Bruce filling in for Dr. Drew. I give him a six, six and a half. He's doing an adequate job. He's got some hair gel in, he's feeling confident. He's getting comfortable behind the mic. God bless him. Atmosphere is in the studio tonight. Slug both here so far. DJ Mr. Dibbs will be out here as soon as he's done blowing a butt.
48:26🔗
Adam
Yeah, that's it. We're screwing everyone's name up. I like that. You know, less pressure. Just call anyone when they call. Start calling people what they look like. And by the way, you know, it's really tough to memorize a guy's name when he doesn't look like his name. Once in a while, you meet a guy who looks like a Chuck and he's like, hey, Chuck, and you'll never forget it because he looks like his name. But if that same guy's name is Seth, you're screwed because he doesn't look like his name. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?
49:02🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
There's a big rap pool with names written on little pieces of paper and when you become a rapper, you reach into this pool and pull out a name and that's the one you're stuck with.
49:11🔗
Adam
The thing, here's what I've learned from doing this show for several years. Don't ask bands where they got their names and don't ask rappers where they got their names because it's always like.
49:23🔗
Adam
Here we go again. No, what I mean is that I wouldn't ask you guys where you got the name Atmosphere either just because it's a story they've told a thousand times and even if you don't know it, they've told it a thousand times and they get pissed off. And don't ask them why they wrote a song or, no, don't ask them what a song means because they go, whatever it means to you.
49:49🔗
Dr. Bruce
No, but you can ask questions that other people can't ask because of your exalted position in life.
49:54🔗
Adam
Yeah, thank you. Yeah, me being a C-list celebrity, I get to ask questions that other people don't get to ask. All right, we'll hear something from Atmosphere and we'll also take some calls. I gotta give a quick, and this is the last of this, God forsaken cabin fever promotion. You call in, you get the DVD, if you're over 18, and then you enter the drawing to get a ski vacation to Whistler, which is in Canada, airfare, everything. We put you up in the cabin, lift tickets, the whole thing. And it goes on sale today, by the way, this DVD. Also, another quick plug, Drew and I are gonna be at Stanford.
50:42🔗
Adam
That's right. We're gonna be there tomorrow, everybody. Probably somewhere around eight o'clock. Let's go to phones. Jennifer? You're 18? Hello? What's happening?
50:55🔗
Caller
My boyfriend wants me to deep throw, but it may come back. Is there something I can do?
51:08🔗
I don't think he'd ever go for that.
51:10🔗
Adam
Yeah, I tried that and then it popped right in the middle of the thing and it shot through her cheek. It was, it was not pretty.
51:25🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Can you just like, you know, take it slowly, learn how to relax? Like you don't have to learn it in one night or one month even, but couldn't you just, you know, or just say no?
51:36🔗
Caller
Oh, I don't mind doing it. It just makes me want to throw up because it hits the back of my throat.
51:45🔗
I don't know how far back I go.
51:48🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Slowly, just take the toothbrush, go a little further back, a little further.
51:52🔗
Yeah, reflex is not that hard to get rid of.
52:08🔗
You see, I don't look, Drew.
52:10🔗
Adam
You've screwed yourself. Bruce, you're screwed. Oh, the whole hand is going into the mouth.
52:21🔗
Somebody has to put you as a rapper.
52:23🔗
Adam
Someone else got the gig the same way, you know. I like being able to make myself heave if the bed is spinning at four in the morning.
52:32🔗
Dr. Bruce
But the other thing is people don't think, the gag reflex was put there by God or nature to protect against certain things and maybe.
52:43🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Listen, I'm gonna tell you a quick story and take from it what you will. I had a girlfriend a couple of years ago who wanted to try because I kept asking her to try, but she could never do it. So one night she's trying, she's trying, she's vegetarian, by the way, that has something to do with the story. She tried, she ended up throwing up not dogs all over me. Now, here's the answer to your problem. Next time he wants you to do it, do it, puke on him. He'll never ask again.
53:10🔗
Adam
And by the way, I'm going to extend the puking thing beyond oral sex, like someone wants to borrow money, puke on him. Puke on him. Somebody has a critique or a criticism, puke on him. Someone wants to borrow your car, you puke on him. You start puking on people, they stop asking for favors, and they learn very quickly. This works with children, you know what I mean?
53:33🔗
Adam
He's nagging you, mommy, I want to get this sweet breakfast. You just, just peeve all over the junior's head. Daddy, I want to go to Knott's Berry Farm and then Legoland, come on daddy, please. I understand, we're supposed to hit it again there. Uh-huh. I want Pop-Tarts for dinner.
54:03🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Where did you get that sound bite from? I feel like I know that girl.
54:06🔗
Adam
I want a puppy. Is there, can we have a puppy? We need a new puppy. I want a Pokeman video game. Yeah. It would stop your kid. Like a kid would freak every time he asked himself. His hands would go up. He'd get all freaked out.
54:45🔗
Adam
It's diabolical because A, no, nobody, child protective services could never really prove what you're, it's like, well, listen, I got a little acid reflux, obviously. It had nothing to do with him wanting the fruit roll up, Your Honor. I mean, I just, I got a little acid reflux. What are you going to do? There's no marks on the kid, you know? It would be perfect. It's diabolical. I'm going to use that. If I have a kid, I will discipline him with vomit. And then, and then, you know, when I send the kid to camp and stuff like that, I'll have to vomit into a bucket for like two weeks and then send the bucket over to the counselor and tell him, here's a ladle. If he acts up, he just will whack him with some of daddy's vomit.
55:26🔗
Adam
I dropped a number two in there, too, in case he really gets out of hand. Yeah. Bruce, good parenting?
55:31🔗
Dr. Bruce
Yeah, yes. All right. But you know, there's some crazy person out there that may take you up on this. Let's help him. And then you'll be on Entertainment Tonight. I didn't mean that anyone should do that.
55:45🔗
Adam
I agree, though, that brushing the back of your tongue is probably a good way to loosen up that gag reflex.
56:00🔗
Hey, I actually have a question for Atmosphere.
56:04🔗
Hey, I was wondering what type of music you guys listen to and like growing up and how it influenced what you do now.
56:12🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I mean, me personally, I'm slugged by the way, the rapper from the group. I grew up pretty much on strictly hip hop. I didn't really discover rock music until I started making out with white chicks. I guess, you know, now I listen to pretty much everything and anything because being, you know, wanting to be a musician, I was quick to get record store jobs, which, you know, enabled me to learn more about different types of music. And now, you know, I pretty much listen to everything that you listen to, that they listen to, that whatever. It's kind of, you know. Johnny Cash, homie, lots of Johnny Cash.
56:46🔗
And also, are you guys going to be opening a Fifth Element somewhere around here?
56:50🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Um, shh, where did you hear that? Don't tell anybody nothing about that, man. Shut up, go away.
56:59🔗
Is it going to happen? Cause just, I'm asking just out of the blue.
57:04🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Um, out of the, out of the blue. Thanks for saying blue. Um, you know, shh.
57:09🔗
All right, I'll be waiting for it.
57:15🔗
Yeah.
57:19🔗
Yeah, hey, I'm going to the Atmosphere Show at the Fillmore, too.
57:22🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Thanks for the support, homie. You're my man, you know what I'm saying?
57:26🔗
Hey, I was actually wondering if I could get some help on this project that I'm doing, though. Cause I'll be at the show and stuff like that.
57:31🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
rhymesayers.com, hit me up there. Info at rhymesayers.com, you can ask me whatever you want there.
57:40🔗
Trust me, that'll be plenty. Word. They're all there for you, Slug. God love ugly, so do women.
57:46🔗
Adam
You bring an unwrapped girl, you put it in a hopper when you enter the arena and then we give it to guys who don't have girls. Especially when you're on holidays and stuff, yeah. So it's a whole, I mean some guys wouldn't bring canned food for the homeless. At atmosphere you bring chicks for guys who don't get laid. It'd be a nice project.
58:05🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
No, I don't need anything. I'm good. It's, you know, it's just I'm an advocate of people meeting each other and becoming families.
58:27🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Yeah, they did restore it and it's very nice. I like that. You're famous. You should just be able to knock on the door and they'll let you sleep there.
58:49🔗
Adam
Let's talk to Travis, who's 18. Oh, it's just to swallow quite a lot of, a lot of, a lot of BJ questions. And I, Travis? You're 18? All right. You're gay?
59:03🔗
Caller
No. For when I go down on my girlfriend, when she comes, I swallow the fluid because she's holding my head down. I was wondering if that's going to harm me inside.
59:32🔗
Caller
I was just making sure that it wouldn't hurt me inside or anything. I wouldn't like get like throwing up all the time or something.
59:39🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Do you have trouble walking or anything like that? You know, is everything OK? Your eyesight's good?
59:59🔗
Adam
Yeah, yeah, it's like when that guy's a gleeck on you. Remember that gleeck? Go all over the back of your neck, jack off at junior high. You feel the spray on the back of your neck, some jackass back there.
1:00:13🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Do you remember when you actually learned that that was called gleecking? When you're like, gleeck.
1:00:17🔗
Adam
I'm like, couldn't you just beat off on me, dude? That'd be less humiliating than you spraying me with your glandular fluid on the back of my neck. And there's, by the way, there's nothing worse than when somebody does something and it becomes popular and you can't do it. The only time I've ever gleecked is on a date when I'm trying to explain something and it just comes out inadvertently and then it's humiliating. You know, you'll gleeck, you'll gleeck like once every four years, just talking or eating. You're going, oh boy, yeah, I like you too, you're gleecking.
1:00:51🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Do you remember the cartoon, the Super Friends, the Wonder Twins, their monkey was named Gleek. So I have a problem. I have a problem with the fact that that's called gleeking.
1:01:07🔗
Adam
They do. So like if I went back to my old junior high, if I went back to Walter Reed Junior High in North Hollywood and said, who here gleeks on the backs of necks of people who they sit behind? A bunch of hands would go up and go, yeah, yeah, no, we're a gleeker.
1:01:25🔗
Caller
Well, you know, I get gleeked on because I'm the DJ. I'm the low rung. So there's a lot of gleeking going on at rehearsals.
1:01:47🔗
Adam
Well, I'm just wondering if, and call in if you've gleecked on anyone or been gleecked upon.
1:01:54🔗
Dr. Bruce
Now, what about gleeking between the space between the teeth to get more distance? What's that called? Is that gleeking? No, that's not spitting. There's another name for that.
1:02:16🔗
Adam
That's all. I wish I could gleek and I wish I could do my tongue up so it would look like a taco, you know? Yeah. There you go.
1:02:34🔗
Yes.
1:02:54🔗
Adam
It's always weird when somebody spits on you and they kind of know they spit on you, but you have to pretend like you didn't notice they spit on you. So you give it that five count and then you wipe your hand and then they say something because they knew it. Now, you look like an a-hole for pretending like they didn't in the first place. Oh, yeah.
1:03:13🔗
Caller
Well, basically, the reason why I call is because I just, it just really bothers me that it takes me so long to get off. Especially when I'm, see, I'm not an intimate, well, see, I have issues with intimacy personally. That's what I'm trying, I don't know, OK, I have borderline personality disorder. That's my issue. And I've been working on it, you know, getting better, you know, for about three years now. I mean, I was diagnosed three years ago and...
1:03:48🔗
Caller
No, I actually, I'm weeding myself off of them. I'm trying to figure out life without being controlled by drugs.
1:04:01🔗
Caller
Yeah, sometimes, yeah, but also, I don't know, I feel very, how do I say, controlled, you know? I feel like a zombie, like a zombie.
1:04:13🔗
Adam
What's going on with the lesbian stuff? You get molested or you're just a true lesbian?
1:04:32🔗
Caller
I don't, well, see, if they did, I have no memory of it. I have no actual memory of being.
1:04:41🔗
Caller
I don't think so. No, no, I basically had a good growing up stage as far as like childhood, growing up. I mean, I don't remember having a father, but I know my mom was pretty good.
1:04:52🔗
Dr. Bruce
Okay, so your borderline, you know, typically have a poor sense of self and boundaries are a real problem and you get into relationships and it's real intense and you go loving to hating the person without much rational basis for it. Is that the kind of, you have these real sort of swings in the relationships and?
1:05:11🔗
Caller
Well, I don't know. I have never really been in like a real relationship because how I got sick was because I was hearing voices in my head and this chick was telling me, well actually she's an autistic chick. She's my best friend for a very long time, for about two years now.
1:05:28🔗
Adam
The voice in your head or something? By the way, how come the voices, how come voice in your head never tell you to exercise and listen to classical music? It's always kill or cut yourself.
1:05:40🔗
Adam
Yeah. You can't have a voice in your head tell you something decent every once in a while? Hey, how about a little fat diet and a few pushups?
1:05:51🔗
Adam
Yeah, there's no voice in anyone's head ever tells you that. Let's start practicing Tai Chi and learn to play the flute.
1:06:01🔗
Adam
Hey, Corey, hold on a second. Listen, we can all hear in your voice that you have some deep issues. And you attempting to master yourself by either take...
1:06:18🔗
Adam
The whole medication thing, maybe you didn't want to feel like a zombie, although we got zombie on one hand and crazy person on the other hand. I might go zombie.
1:06:31🔗
Caller
Well, it sounds reasonable, but at the same time, I've been doing good for about two years without it.
1:06:35🔗
Dr. Bruce
That's what your doctor's... Your doctor's working with you on tapering you off? It sounds like you're probably on a mood stabilizer and an antidepressant, I would suspect.
1:06:53🔗
Dr. Bruce
Just as long as you're working with your doctor, I don't think the primary problem is...
1:06:58🔗
Caller
Well, I see a therapist. Actually, I have an appointment next week, but I'm seeing my therapist, and I don't know, it's really hard for me to get into a conversation with her like this.
1:07:13🔗
Adam
All right, listen, Corey, listen to me, because we got to go. Here's what you need to do. Throw yourself on the mercy of the doctors, the therapist, whatever they want you to do, just do it. Please trust me on this. You'll be in much better shape. Go to your therapist, open up, tell them everything you're feeling. Your doctor has a suggestion, listen to the person, and do it. They're smart, they're old, they know what they're talking about, they're not the man, they're not trying to turn into a zombie. The whole reason you're in front of them is because you need their help. Let them help you. Don't treat it. It's no different than if you take your car into a mechanic and the guy has a couple of suggestions and wants to change this and rebuild that.
1:08:00🔗
Dr. Bruce
They walk in, they hold your hand. You're out of 150 doctors. The first one, I know you're wonderful.
1:08:10🔗
Adam
That's why I'm telling them to shut up and stop listening to a voice in their head and start listening to a voice in the radio. That's the Ace man.
1:08:17🔗
Adam
Just everyone. Look, here's the thing, everybody. The whole reason you're in the position you're in is because you've been listening to yourself a little too much and not listening to your guidance counselor, your parents, your doctor, the nurse, physician, psychologist, whatever it is. Start listening to other people.
1:08:35🔗
Adam
Yes. If you're doing great, if you got a great job and you're on top of the world and you're in a stable relationship and everyone loves you, fine. Listen to yourself. It's like, look, if here's the guy, the scout, the guy who's leading the wagon train. If this guy is leading you to safety and not getting any Indian fights, plenty of water and fresh buffalo along the way and you're making good time through the desert, that's the man you should be following. But if you're just going in a circle and having to live off the dead pioneers who died behind you, maybe it's time you stop leading and let somebody else do it. That's all I need to know. All right. Fantastic. Atmosphere is in the hizzy, as we like to say here. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
1:09:34🔗
Adam
That's Dr. I mean I'm Andy. That's Dr. Bruce. Let's call spade a spade. That's Bruce over there. Slug and DJ Mr. Dibbs are here tonight. Ant got too drunk and had to had to crash out. He couldn't maintain.
1:09:54🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Look at him right now, though. He's breaking down like he's having he's being metaphysical.
1:09:58🔗
Adam
Right now, it's a serious life conversation in the next room. That's cool. All right. Now, where are we? Atmosphere here tonight, we'll hear something off of Sevens Travels. And just a second, I think we'll take one call.
1:10:27🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Like, I'm a little neurotic. I mean, hey, mom, I'm on love lines right now. You know what I mean? Like, quite honestly, like, not really sure what's going on or why it's going on or how it's going on. But I'm not really complaining either. I'm going to ride this roller coaster till the wheels fall off. Where do you live, Katrina? Where do you live? Really? Thanks. Thanks for coming to the show and have a very, very good week. Thank you, Katrina.

Adam
All right. And again, Atmosphere is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday night. So you can those of you who can't make it out to Henry Fonda Theater tomorrow can see him on Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday night. Let's hear something from the CD. Yes. Yes. Anderson, feeling good.
1:11:56🔗
Adam
Right. That's OK. I don't correct people. I'm cool that way. All right. So, Chris, you're doing it. Yes. Looking good, buddy. Who is the other guy I was just talking to? That's Mike. Anderson? Mike. Well, Mike. Fred. All right. Let's hear something off Atmosphere. Yes. Or from Atmosphere, I should say. All right. Now we're ready to go. This is called National Disgrace. Yeah, Atmosphere is here. Ant came in, took a look around, and split again. Seventh Travels is the name of the CD. Band's gonna beat the Henry Fonda Theater tomorrow night, and then Jimmy come alive on Friday night. All right, let's get back to the phones. Let's play a little Florida or Germany. Here's how the game goes. They call in, they tell us the most bizarre question. It's usually tell us some truth, crime sort of thing, and then we guess. Did it come from Florida? Florida or Germany? Yeah, that's David Allen group. Go ahead, Eric.
1:18:11🔗
Caller
Yeah, real quick first, I wanted to say to the band, Atmosphere. I haven't heard you guys out here, but that last tune was pretty groovy.
1:18:20🔗
Caller
You guys get some radio play out here sometime. Maybe I liked in that first tune how you rhymed y'all with volleyball.
1:18:26🔗
Caller
All right, man, well here's this Germany or Florida, ready? Yeah. All righty, 24 people in a small town were diagnosed with mono. Authorities traced the source to a kissing booth at a church carnival. The carnival was being held to raise awareness for sexually transmitted diseases. Germany or Florida?
1:19:00🔗
It's not really true crime though.
1:19:08🔗
Adam
Yeah, yeah, I'm still shooting, I'm still batting about 850 on these Germany and Florida. All right, Eric, thanks for calling. Sending out a windbreaker.
1:19:24🔗
Adam
Over there, we're gonna send you stuff. Oh yeah, you do qualify for that cabin fever thing.
1:19:39🔗
Adam
Listen, I'm a big enough man to admit when you're wrong. All right, let's talk to Josh who's 18. Josh?
1:19:56🔗
Caller
All right, my friends were telling me that, well, my girlfriend's 15 and we were having sex before I turned 18 and my friends were telling me that if we were having sex before I turned 18, then it wasn't illegal after I turned 18. I was wondering if that's still true.
1:20:17🔗
Adam
Like, hey, my balls, I laid claim to that vagina when I was 17, like so that whatever, like I don't have to put fire sprinklers in my apartment because it was built before 1978, like that kind of thing where they just grandfather things in. No, that doesn't work.
1:20:49🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Now, see, I think in a lot of states, and I can't say this for all of them, but if both of them are minors, there is a clause that's an 18-month difference. So if you are a year and a half older than your partner, there is room for it to be illegal, but, I mean...
1:21:05🔗
Adam
Here's one of the problems. Every state has its own statute, and some are incredibly young, and others are 18, and I've said this many, many times. Could we just go ahead and make it 18? And is anyone going to argue about that? If you go... I think...
1:21:25🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I think the question is, what if they're both under 18? And one of them's 15, and one of them's 17.
1:21:42🔗
Adam
Hawaii's a good place, too. Here's all I'm saying, age-wise. How are you supposed to tell a guy who grew up on Hawaii, who lived on a diet of poi and young punta? All this guy does is bang underage chicks, and then he moves to Arizona and all of a sudden, the thing's all screwed up. All the wiring's different now. All I'm saying is, we do this with booze. It's like, look, 21, buy alcohol, 18, join the military, 18, you can buy cigarettes. Let's just call it 18. Just pick a number and decide on it. OK, maybe 14.
1:22:25🔗
Adam
I'm saying nine. I'm just saying, whatever, let's just pick a number and just call it that.
1:22:33🔗
Adam
It doesn't matter how old you are, where you traveled, that's the age. Consistency, yeah, it's easy to break the law. Here's what I'm saying. If the speed limit is dramatically different in every city and every state, it's gonna be easy to break the law when you're driving through because you don't know. You see what I'm saying? Right. Pick a number, 55 pounds.
1:22:52🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Or just put signs on the highway saying how old you have to be to have sex.
1:23:17🔗
Adam
Atmosphere is here now. Take a quick break. So no more banging your girlfriend. She's 15, you're 18, right?
1:23:23🔗
Adam
But you go for oral and finger blasting. Yes. I don't, I don't see it. Look, go with someone your own age. What do you, you got some chick who's like in the ninth grade, you're a senior in high school. Come on, give me a break. We'll be back after this.
1:23:53🔗
Adam
Atmosphere is here, name of the CD, Seventh Travels. I just witnessed a dude you're effed up conversation, which is always funny because whenever a guy gives you the, dude, you're, he's always more messed up than you are. Even though you may be messed up, the guy who delivers the dude you're effed up is more effed up than you are almost every time.
1:24:25🔗
Adam
And then the, I just, paradoxically or ironically, whoever delivers the dude you're effed up is always twice as effed up as the guy he's accused of being effed up. No, no.
1:24:41🔗
Adam
Lindsay? What's going on? I was like, I like the dude maintain one too, where the guy pulls you aside and talks to you really like, dude, you totally screwed it with these chicks. And everyone's in the bark and they hear you. And he's telling you to behave and mind your P's and Q's except for he's slobbering, he's gleaking. And everyone in the bark can hear him yelling. Classy. That one too, yeah. Lindsay? What's happening?
1:25:07🔗
What is going on?
1:25:11🔗
Yes, I do. What's going on?
1:25:15🔗
Oh my God, I'm such a fan. Thank you. I'm so excited. I'm so excited to see you on Jimmy Kill. I'm going to be watching TV and I'm going, I live in Portland and I'm going to go through that concert. Hell yeah, I'm so excited.
1:25:31🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
How do you feel about the suicide girls leaving Portland for Los Angeles?
1:25:34🔗
What's that?
1:25:36🔗
Actually, my friend was going to do that.
1:25:39🔗
Yeah.
1:25:42🔗
Are you serious?
1:25:44🔗
I had no idea. No, she talked about that like a year and a half ago or something. I don't think she ever went through, we don't talk anymore. Anyway. Anyway. Yeah, my question was, actually it's kind of stupid, but what kind of girls are you into?
1:26:01🔗
What's that?
1:26:03🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
That's a good question I guess. I mean, I don't know. I'm into girls with fire.
1:26:10🔗
Girls with fire?
1:26:17🔗
Are you kidding now?
1:26:23🔗
Adam
She's got a girlfriend back in Minneapolis, right? What the? Listen, here's what you can do. You're never gonna have him. You can watch him on Jimmy Come Alive and Masturbate. Yeah, all right.
1:26:43🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
I mean, it's a weird question. I don't know what kind of girls I'm into.
1:26:58🔗
Adam
That was what God does when you make fun of music and you're in a band. That was brutal.
1:27:08🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Hey, Lindsey, we'll be in Portland. I'll make out with you. Just pull me aside.
1:27:26🔗
Caller
I was gonna ask you something, or Dr. Bruce or any of you guys actually. Me and my boyfriend, we've been going out for a year and for nine months we had sex non-stop.
1:27:42🔗
Adam
Well, woman's prerogative. You ever been abused? Do you have any trauma, anything like that?
1:27:52🔗
Adam
Well, here's the thing with people who were abused. They take these crazy swings. They get really hypersexual and then they just dry up. That's when I move in. I usually catch them right after their, you know, super hypersexual days.
1:28:05🔗
Caller
Well, cause like when I was little, I was raped, but like, you know, that was hell longer.
1:28:10🔗
Adam
Yeah. Well, that couldn't have any possible effect on you now. You're 17. I mean, hell, you were six at the time, right? Okay, well, then that couldn't be it. You being brutally raped at six. What must it be? Barometric pressure. Where are you calling from? Has it been overcast?
1:28:35🔗
Caller
Did you have any? I tried going to therapy, but the counselor wouldn't get over the whole rape thing, and I'm like, I kind of dealt with it by myself.
1:28:49🔗
Dr. Bruce
Okay, your inability to follow the guidance of the therapist is indicative of the problem you're in now. So, you really need to go back to therapy that you're underage when you're six.
1:29:01🔗
Adam
And by the way, and when I say stuff like, I spend an entire show saying stuff like, look, you're going to go back to your loser boyfriend and works at the batting cage. And you go, yeah, he does work at the batting cage. Does that ever surprise anybody when I call the age out or call the profession out or anything like that? I name people all the time and people just go right along with it. Yeah, I was right when I say and they just roll around like, you know, I did call. I'm not. You're a galler over here, but there's never any mention. No one ever goes like, hey, wow, I was right when I was six. What made you say six? They just kind of they never go like, what made you say batting cage with my boyfriend?
1:29:36🔗
Atmosphere with Dr. Bruce
Hey, Adam, you are you are really, really good at what you do. If nobody's telling I will be the I don't need to say I'm not trying to pat your back. I'm trying to say like straight up, like I consider myself an emotional consultant of sorts just for my friends. And and like sitting here watching you like do what you're doing and weaving it out. I think a lot of your sarcasm and when I goes over some people's heads and like I'm kind of smart and I try to get it. But like you're you're really good at what you do.
1:30:04🔗
Adam
And I listen and I appreciate that. And a compliment is always nice, but it's not so much the compliment part. It's more the part of, hey, that's weird. Like, how did you know that was my dad's name or he drove a forklift or I was raped when I was six? They don't do that part. I mean, I like the praise part, but it's not that that I'm looking for. It's more the part where they stop and go, what made you say the age? You know what I'm saying? And people don't do that when they call it a clarity, because it's a weird thing. It's like I have this theory, like when when kids tell you, tell you I went to school and they start naming their classmates as if you know them. That's something the kids do. You know what I'm saying?
1:30:59🔗
Adam
A long time ago. I know you keep emphasizing the long time ago and you're in your past that thing, but that we feel like you're in some denial as far as I can push it out of my mind when I was little, like I try to like repress it like I guess I took psychology and then that's the time they used to press bad memories.
1:31:20🔗
Caller
And I told my cousin the first time when I was like 12 or something and I it always seemed like it wasn't real, you know, so I try to forget about it.
1:31:38🔗
Caller
And then my parents had like, like, you know, like, my mom was a battered woman, like when dad beat my mom and I had to watch all that.
1:31:46🔗
Adam
Okay, but here's the thing. And I know everyone who calls the show never gets an answer to the question they're calling about because that's not the real question.
1:31:53🔗
Adam
We'll decide what those are. For you, it's about the abusive environment you grew up with, the rape that you suffered when you're six, the whole part where you're not feeling as amorous as you were eight months ago. That's all connected to this. And that's just what I said at the top of the thing. Yeah, because you'll go you'll go hypersexual and then you'll go dormant. You'll shut down. So you're starting to shut down. So you got to get some therapy.
1:32:15🔗
Adam
There's groups. There's there's all sorts of stuff you can do with this. And by the way, your dad's probably an alcoholic.
1:32:34🔗
Caller
Yeah, because like he when he was little, his parents, his dad used to be his mom. I think it like he watched it in.
1:32:43🔗
Dr. Bruce
You know, you can know all the psychology in the world, but it doesn't give you any help in dealing with the consequences of that kind of abuse.
1:33:44🔗
Adam
Very interesting evening. These guys are gonna be on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday. Gonna be at the Henry Fonda Theater. Yeah, I always wanna say Henry Ford for some reason. Henry Fonda Theater tomorrow out in Los Angeles. Sevens Travels is the name of the CD. And until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Bruce. Say mahalo.
