1:10🔗VoiceoverLoveline with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. Hey, everybody, it's the Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191, Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. You know, we play a little show called Germany or Florida on the show, because we get tired of talking to the kiddies every once in a while about the crabs. And somebody sent us a nice article in the mail that talks about why all bizarre crimes come out of Germany.
1:35🔗DrewCrimes most outlandish, the headline says.
1:38🔗AdamYeah, they're an interesting breed over there, the Germans.
1:40🔗DrewI was reading a little bit of it. The violent crime rate is substantially lower in the United States and has continued to drop. And yet the bizarre, sort of the cork flying out of the bottle kind of stuff, you know, when something's gone. What's the word, what am I trying to say?
1:57🔗AdamWell, let me explain how the Germans do their killing. They do it in bunches. They don't spread it out like we do. You see what I mean? We do our killing like, well, we kill a couple hundred, maybe a few thousand people nationally. Each year we spread it out. They save up. About every 30 years, they go on a spree. See what I'm saying?
2:15🔗AdamRound up the Jews. You understand what I'm saying, Drew? The Germans do their killing in bunches and they do it in a national way. They don't do it, we trickle ours. We do ours slowly. They save up.
2:33🔗AdamAnd as I've said many times, nothing wrong with another bombing of Germany. I'm all for it. Whatever they got for World War II wasn't nearly enough.
2:41🔗DrewThis article suggests that most of the people doing it are immigrants, though, who don't feel a part of Germany.
2:46🔗AdamWell, they're trying to blend in by engaging a bizarre crime ax. That's the best way to do it.
2:52🔗AdamSo I get a little crap for saying we should bomb Germany again, but I'm all for it. Really? Anything I haven't said? We're done with them?
3:00🔗DrewIf you want to, well, you could try to not buy their cars if you wanted.
3:03🔗AdamOr try to eradicate the Jews? Try to exterminate a race of people? All right, we're done. You guys are on your feet. Here you go. No? Maybe just a little. DA let me ask you, answer this, Drew. You think they got enough for World War II and World War I, for that matter? Did they get enough?
3:40🔗AdamYeah, go do me a favor. Go to England and go visit the museum, the Holocaust Museum over there. Take a look around. Just really reacquaint yourself with some of the techniques the folks would use over there. And then tell me, maybe just one more quick, one more light bombing. That's all. Just a dusting of Dresden. Let's get, and like I said, we just do it and we give them a, you know what that was? That, you know, once in a while, like dads, they whack their kid one in the head and the kid goes, what was that? I know what you were thinking, okay? Don't even think about it. That's what we do. That's what we do at Germany. Quick, quick bombing of Germany. And that's that little slap in the head. You guys are overdue. I know what you're thinking. Don't even think about it. All right?
4:32🔗AdamAll right, Drew, well, Drew wants it. But Drew's all for what we're doing over there in the Middle East. Interesting. Lena? Well, uh-oh. That's Lena.
4:46🔗AdamYou're 22? All right, more talking about bombing Germany. Heather? Yes. You're 30? No, you're 20. What's up? Hold on a second. And Drew, nobody called you today and told you you couldn't talk. They told you what you couldn't talk about, but they didn't tell you what you, you couldn't talk. They said you couldn't move your mouth. Jesus Christ. Weirdo.
5:30🔗CallerRight, and is, I mean, is that like an STD or is it, I mean, it can be.
5:35🔗DrewSometimes it's something as simple as a yeast infection. Sometimes it's a vaginal infection like a Gardnarella, something like that, just a bacteria that overgrows. And sometimes it's an STD.
6:32🔗AdamAll right, but it doesn't get you effed up, huh? It just gets you ill? All right, not down. See, that's the whole thing. When I see the prescription medication that has the martini glass with the cross going through it, and by the way, we've never really improved on that martini glass that's sort of sideways in the things going through it, right?
6:53🔗DrewWith a few bubbles coming out of it always, right?
6:55🔗AdamYeah, is this a champagne glass or is it a martini glass? It's shaped like a martini glass, yet it has the bubbles coming out. It's a professin. It's a very confusing message. Should we be mixing the booze with the glasses? But when I see that, that means booze it up. Bring it on. That's supersizing, whatever it is for me. Oodey, Ood-eye, Koo-say?
7:55🔗AdamAll right, what do you say now? What's the question now? Grab a knee, don't sit on your helmets now. They're not chairs. Let's get a hand in, break it down.
8:55🔗AdamYou give me half brother, 13 and 12 kind of thing. You get the experimental thing. And then you give me the both kids kind of thing. But 15 and-
9:09🔗AdamYeah, something like that. But I was just, yeah, see that's more step brother action. The half brother at 16. So you're getting weird now. But 15 and five.
9:32🔗AdamYeah, that- Something happened to that kid because it just does not- It's not in your emotional- Not your mental vocabulary at 15 to be goosing five-year-olds. Just isn't.
9:47🔗DrewOkay. Not unless you yourself have been physically sexually abused.
9:50🔗I'm a very insecure person and I can't seem to turn all the negative- I'm very pessimistic. I can't seem to turn any negative energy into positive. I have a best friend who's studying engineering, software engineering and everything. And I just, I feel less than he is. I just can't get through school just like he is. I compare myself-
10:14🔗AdamAn engineer, I mean. Okay, you're going to college, right?
10:27🔗AdamAnd they let you into Chicago? I guess they're just opening, they're opening all the cities up these days. Okay. She may have been there in a gardening scholarship or something like that.
10:39🔗AdamOh, it's probably best. I was making some racial jokes. Listen, listen, what your brother did to you was wrong and is gonna leave lasting effects on you. And you gotta get some therapy for that. There's nothing wrong with you. You're doing pretty damn good for someone who's been through what you've been through.
11:10🔗We used to rent for some people and I don't know, it was the owner. And it was him, and one time it was the brother of the owner of the house. I don't really, we don't really know those people directly and we have lost touch with them years ago.
11:27🔗DrewHow old were you at the time when these guys did this?
11:29🔗I was about four years old. It was around the same time, like earlier.
11:35🔗DrewSo your brother was not the first one to do it?
11:52🔗They come here to work and sometimes they're too busy off at work, they really, they're...
11:59🔗AdamYeah. They leave the kids alone. No, let me, yeah, okay, let me tell you something. Let me explain something to Drew. You whities over there, your kids, I mean, you guard your kids like Fort Knox. Right. The workin, let me tell you something about people that work, especially when mom's at work and dad's either not on the scene or wherever. Kids are sort of out and about. I mean, you gotta count on neighbors and school people and friends and drunken dads.
12:30🔗AdamYeah, look what happens. And think about the kind of people your kid is hanging out with. When, you know, I mean, like when I was young, half the kids I hung out with, their dads were like alcoholics and stuff.
12:42🔗DrewSo let me get this straight. Both your parents were working so hard. They left you to make entertainment for yourself.
12:50🔗AdamNo, my mom couldn't be, you know, pried out of her room with a shoehorn in a case of K-Y.
12:56🔗DrewBecause her work was there at her desk, on her computer.
13:00🔗AdamLook, her work was napping and smoking a little weed. You understand? She was a proud immigrant woman, squatting.
13:09🔗DrewHer parents immigrated to this country 3,000 years ago. By the way, strangely, that behavior, not immigrant behavior. Strangely, that's- Hanging out? That super hanging out is like sixth generation American.
13:20🔗AdamYeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know, it's just, no one informed my family. Most people actually have a little money before they get into that hangout stuff.
13:31🔗AdamYou guys are hammering welfare checks and hanging out. But listen, Udi, Yudai, Adi, she gotta get herself some therapy. She's doing well.
13:44🔗DrewYeah, for what she's been through, but she cannot feel- She has a severe self-worth issue. I would be surprised if she were a cutter. Let's just quickly ask.
14:43🔗DrewIt's the best time to use, that's the best health services in the country, the stuff designed age-specific for kids in school.
14:49🔗AdamYeah, use it all. Because then you get out of college, you know, no one cares about you anymore, you don't have any insurance, and no one's going to look after you. Michael?
15:09🔗CallerWell, I speak, yes. Actually, I've been, I've been smoking weed for about four years now.
15:15🔗DrewYou're saying this has to be a drug call. And by the way, how dare you? Weed does not affect people. I've seen some studies from the 70s that show proof.
15:25🔗AdamListen, everyone, No effect. Everyone I know smokes weed, looks like those guys that are, when they're on the satellite, they got the earpiece in, and they're trying to join in on those political round tables, but they're, they got on, I think, a three second delay. It's always a little herky-jerky, a little bumpy. They're not quite sure. Stilted and late, cadence is a little bad.
15:52🔗CallerAll right. What it is, is I've been trying to quit. I've tried constantly, and it's like, I mean, it's pretty much virtually impossible. And I mean, when I try, like, if I even go a day without smoking, I just get very irritated and everything.
16:06🔗DrewSo you've proven yourself that you're addicted to pot. Now, why don't you get treatment?
16:10🔗CallerI've, I was asking, I was just wanting to see if you had any, like, specific advice to help, you know, I mean, because, like, I've just been trying to quit so I can get a better job and all this and that. But I mean, yeah, you will.
16:22🔗DrewYou're addicted. So you will not stop or you will switch to something else. And the only way that it will stop is with treatment. And you can go to a program. Would you have a Phoenix or Tucson?
18:09🔗DrewWhich is why, by the way, this thing remains free for everybody. What do you mean?
18:13🔗AdamIf they had... If they had money, it'd be better.
18:17🔗DrewNo. If it is such a service, people could start charging for it very easily, and then all the people that don't have money would no longer have access to it.
18:25🔗AdamI like the fact that they're very accessible. They're open everywhere, and every city in the country has one. You never hear them asking for money. Yeah.
18:41🔗CallerOkay, my question is, okay, I recently had a baby. My daughter is five months now. And I wanted to know if a person's body weight has anything to do with the strength in their vaginal muscles, because since her, sex is just nothing.
18:56🔗DrewThat is more......in the hallway. That is much more to do with your hormonal situation, and sort of how aroused you are or not by the...
19:05🔗CallerBut it's like I want to. I do. I really do.
19:08🔗DrewBut not the way you did before pregnancy, though.
19:11🔗CallerNot even the way before during. It's just...
19:15🔗DrewIt's different. That's right. That's a real common thing after pregnancy. Are you still breastfeeding?
19:32🔗DrewSometimes going on the birth control pill at this stage of the game can sort of kickstart things. You may want to talk to your doctor about that.
19:38🔗CallerI've been on the birth control since after she was born because they told me that it was real easy to get pregnant again. So I've been on a Depravera shot, but...
19:45🔗DrewDepravera is the worst thing you could possibly do. That'll shut you down completely. It's a great contraceptive, but not for this problem you're having.
19:51🔗AdamDrew, try standing on the mic, would you, buddy? What are you doing? You're up on your feet. When you're doing a lounge act or something, sit down and relax.
20:00🔗DrewJessica, what's really shutting you down is that Depravera shot. You need to find a different means of contraception, maybe the pill or the patch.
20:09🔗AdamI got one. How about the pill or maybe the patch?
20:52🔗AdamAll right, I'm just trying to do the whole hang-up-with-my-fist. How many goddamn times do we got to tell you to get on the pill? You're taking a shot, it's working great in terms of not getting pregnant, but it may be shutting you down sexually, so you need to adjust that.
21:27🔗AdamYes, got no problem with that. This is really the problem. Focus is on, I've got to get laid, not prenatal care or I've got to take care of my infant. Look, I don't blame... I mean, picture me at 16. Picture you at 16.
21:59🔗AdamI'd be telling a social worker, I tried to put it in the tub, but then I forgot and the cartoons came on. The baby would just be lying in the tub. I want to give it a bath.
22:27🔗AdamNo, you would have killed the tarantula. Oh, I did kill the tarantula. That's right. I didn't mean to, though. But, Drew, you Yeah, you would have killed a reptile. Yeah, easily. It would have got down to the 60s. You would have forgot to leave the heat light on.
22:42🔗DrewOh, that's way too common. No, long before that happened, something else would have happened.
22:47🔗AdamWhat is it about the reptiles, by the way, that they won't eat when we want them to eat? You know, we talked about this before. I knew about three guys who owned snakes at various points in my life. And it was always big excitement. It's feeding time, man. We got a mouse. We're going to throw it in there. Watch this. Throw the mouse in there. It's like, he's not moving. But don't worry, he's going to strike like a cobra, you know. Half hour goes by. Eventually, the mouse crawls, is crawling on top of the snake and sleeping on top of the snake. You still come, you go away, you come back, isn't doing anything. They always eat them when you're not around. It's never any fun at all. You know, does that do? Fish do that too.
23:29🔗AdamYou try to get a fish to eat another fish. Look, we enjoy watching other things eat other things. As much as we enjoy eating things. It's real, it's nice, it's nice for us, especially that one gulp stuff. See, there's not, you don't want to see a bunch of hyenas gnawing at a gazelle. Blood all over their face, tearing the flesh apart.
23:51🔗AdamYeah, I like, I like to see like a big grouper just swallow a bass or something, just pow. I guess they're both basses. One's a little bigger. Anyway, they're both in the bass family. Let's take a break, Drew. I'm going to figure this fish thing out. I'd like to see a channel where fish just ate other fish.
24:12🔗AdamNo, no, I want to see fish swallowing other fish. Do you see what I'm saying?
24:17🔗DrewYou want to see the food chain like in fast motion.
24:20🔗AdamYeah, but I don't want to see, I don't want to see sharks gnawing at stuff. You've got to swallow it whole. I could watch that forever. And then the weird ones that are old camouflage and they look like rocks or something and then pow!
24:35🔗AdamAll right, we'll take a quick, you ever seen that lure fish that dangles the thing out in front of it? Other fish come around, it sucks it up?
24:43🔗AdamAngler, yeah, the Angler fish. Look that up, Chris. Punching the Angler fish on it. It's very exciting. Look at that Angler fish, Drew. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Adam. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew's on the computer, we're both looking at the angler fish, freakiest fish you've ever seen in your life. God bless that internet. Now Drew's telling me how many square feet are in an acre. 43,550?
25:46🔗CallerNothing, let's see, I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend. The following morning we went to Planned Parenthood, got the, what's it called?
26:13🔗AdamNo, okay, so you had unprotected sex again that night.
26:16🔗CallerRight. And I figured, cause, you know, it's basically like a birth control pill except three times stronger, right? Just wondering if we were still protected or not.
26:29🔗DrewWell, it's a really interesting question. I think you probably would be, but in reality, I think most people would recommend you to take it again the next day.
26:40🔗AdamWell, it's not like you're on the birth control pill.
26:47🔗AdamYou took a high dosage of a form of birth control pill that had some effect over you possibly getting pregnant, but it's not like you're on the pill for that day.
27:18🔗AdamOral month, I call it. Oral timber, oct-oral, I call it. Yeah, it's the 13th month. The point is, it was on the old Roman calendar. I see, yeah. You changed it. So, what's Anthony gotta do?
27:36🔗DrewShe probably has to take it again. He's actually probably okay.
27:42🔗DrewWell, part of the problem, by the way, will be that if she ovulates, say, two days from now, the sperm could still be waiting there for the egg. She needs, it could still happen. And so the suppression of the ovulation may not be as effective three days out from the pill taken the day before. The idea is to not let the egg come down while the sperm is still waiting up there. And this way, the sperm has like a 24-hour head start, see? So she could suddenly drop an egg. So probably they'd have you repeat them when you have to pill the next day.
28:15🔗AdamI dropped a few eggs in here last night. Did you notice that?
28:39🔗CallerI am diagnosed with bipolar disorder and whenever I have my little mood swings and I get in the mania stage, I get a little overly promiscuous.
29:23🔗AdamIt's like a, it's a health class that's haunted at a junior college, yeah?
29:29🔗DrewNo, it's, it's, it's a, Freddy is. He is the coach and the ST, the, the health instructor. Right? No, I can't do it. Or somebody wolf may like it.
29:40🔗AdamI like the haunted health class and you know, the crabs are like the size of hubcabs.
30:19🔗DrewBut when you, what happens when you become manic? Are you just brittle and get manic no matter what, or do you stop taking your medicines? You stop taking your meds, right?
30:29🔗CallerNo, just the past medication that they had me on wasn't like strong enough. And now they're switching me on medication.
30:37🔗DrewAnd you know how, you understand how biological this disorder is, right? So really, the important thing here is prevent from becoming manic again. And that's about taking the medicine.
30:47🔗AdamWhat do you mean become brittle? You said if you miss, yeah.
30:49🔗DrewJust like diabetics can be brittle and no matter what you do, their sugars are always up and you can't get them under control. Some bipolar's are that way too. They just, they can be stable for a while and all of a sudden span.
31:22🔗AdamIt does take all kinds. You're 23? What's happening?
31:27🔗CallerI'm dating an older guy who is kind of slightly overweight, like not obese or anything, but he's a few extra pounds. And he's apparently very self-conscious about it. So what he does is he makes jokes to me about it. I guess I'll be okay with it.
32:38🔗DrewIt's like there's circuit gyms now they have.
32:41🔗AdamIt's a 24-hour Lesbo. It's a chain. Oh man, would that draw dudes too. Especially dudes. I'm gonna start a gym chain called 24-hour Lesbo. Ironically, all dudes. But each one of them that signs up thinks he's the only dude. It's like, okay, that's the whole thing. That's a sales pitch. 24-hour Lesbo. And then every guy signs up, it's like, I don't know, I instruct all my guys.
33:13🔗AdamAre you cool? Oh, yeah. I mean, can you maintain? I mean, because we just, we only have one shower and Jacuzzi and sauna area. I mean, if you promise-
33:22🔗DrewYou can pretend you're gay, too. Gay male.
33:39🔗AdamEvery guy we sign up thinks he's the only guy in there. Got it, got it, got it.
33:44🔗DrewYou see? You never let him, you keep the doors closed.
33:47🔗AdamWe don't let him know. But we do that, okay dude, I could get fired for this. I'm not even supposed to be here because I have a scrotum. I'm gonna sign you up. It's gonna be a little more expensive than your average health spa. I'm gonna sign you up, but don't tell anybody, keep it cool. And it's just all dudes. All dudes. And one bull dyke. All worn. One. You know, we gotta keep it real. Laura? Mm-hmm? What does he do for a living?
34:17🔗CallerI mean, like I said, he's not obese or anything. He's just got a few extra pounds. And when he makes these jokes, he's doing it so I'm okay with it.
34:23🔗DrewSo why don't you take him to the gym with you? And say you're more concerned about his health, why don't we really get with this? And come on, let's go.
34:30🔗AdamWell, no, no, no. You don't have to go to a gym if you're a firefighter because you stay at the firehouse and they have all that equipment and stuff there and you just work out when you're sitting around all day.
34:38🔗CallerYeah, but how do you get him to do that without insulting him when he's making the joke about it?
34:43🔗AdamI think he, listen, his joke is your entree or entree into that topic. He makes a joke about his love handles. You tell him, well, you know, if you want to get rid of that, you could pump a little iron instead of watching Tivo at the firehouse.
34:59🔗DrewI think there are two approaches that women can take that men will listen to. One is I'm concerned about your health. Have you read about the metabolic syndrome where you don't wait on the bus?
35:08🔗AdamYeah, they just laugh that off. They go, what's this love handle got to do with my health?
35:12🔗DrewI want you to be looking the best you can. If you don't want to put input for me on about how to make yourself a glop better, that's okay with me. But I want to let you know that boy, you really.
35:21🔗AdamNow here's what you do, Laura. You tell them you got a letter and they're putting together one of those hunky fireman calendars. And they want him this year, okay?
35:35🔗AdamNo, no, no, just that's enough. He's got to whip him into shape and find out this guy's. By the way, when did this become acceptable? The greased up fire guy leaning on a straddle in the pole with the shirt off, the suspenders hanging around? What? What are you guys doing? First off, you ain't arena football players, you understand, trying to raise a couple bucks for charity. This is the fire department. I don't know, this sort of geeky, I mean, this hunky thing. I don't know when it became okay for the police, hunky policeman calendar and the hunky fireman calendar.
36:14🔗AdamWell, yeah. Cheesy beefcake, I should say. It is borders on gay erotica, is really what it is. And I'm just saying, where's the female version of this? Hot chicks who work at the DMV?
36:26🔗DrewYou know what I mean? We've talked about this before many times. What the guy does, what the woman does, she's a model. She poses for...
36:35🔗AdamThey don't have... Scour the globe, go down to the Department of Building, the DMV, the police force, the fire department, so you can find one seven, that whole group.
36:49🔗AdamIt's just like morbidly obese black women with crazy hair and fingernails. That's the only thing. You go to the DMV, morbidly obese black women with unicorns painted on their nails. And what is that, by the way? No, you didn't. How come we can't see decent chicks out in public? You know what I'm saying? Like you girls, you do nothing but complain, but you don't know how good you got it. There's normal guys working places, you know? You can go in to a city municipality. You can go into a court. You can go into a fire department. You can go to a fire department. And if there's 12 guys, there might be seven of them are pretty solid. You can do that. We don't get that luxury. The chicks at work, they're chewing gum. They got like three chins. They're into something, something they smell weird. We don't get that. We don't get the solid chick. Oh yeah, once in a while you go into the restaurant and they got the hot service.
37:48🔗AdamYou got the hostess. That's a good eight and a half, but she's gone. She's gone the next week. The hotties, they don't work. They either model, that's their work, or they're struggling actors or something. They either just marry off some guy. They're not around. They're like, they're pulled out of the population. We can't enjoy them.
38:09🔗AdamI'd like to start one. I'm just saying guys, you know, you travel, even as a guy, and I ain't one of those guys, but as a guy, once you walk, you go about your day, you'll see guys are like good-looking guys just working at the Starbucks. They're just sort of behind the counter, just doing stuff, construction guys, guys digging holes and pounding nails. It's good-looking guys. You don't have that. But you don't have that.
38:43🔗AdamChick comes to read your meter. She's hot. You know what I mean? The male, what about the male women? How about a nice hot male? You ever see those male women? You think they're dudes. Tell you get up on them and then you wish they were. All right, let's take a break. I'm just saying, you women, you know how good you got it.
39:01🔗DrewRemember, what the guy does figures into the whole experience of the picture.
39:07🔗AdamI'm just saying, like, I get it. You know, imagine, is there any version of the good-looking pool guy who comes to the house, unloads the truck, you know, does this? There's no female version of that. There's no hottie chick that shows up to put up your satellite dish. You see what I mean? All right, we gotta take a break. We'll be back. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Did you hear the promo for this week's Hack? You see Hack? Night In Sound TV?
40:46🔗AdamGood, you're a former cop from San Diego. And you're here to tell us that there are these cheesecake calendars.
40:56🔗Well, they were for the PD when I was in back in the 1980s.
41:02🔗AdamDrew, hold on a second. What do you got? Like tinnitus or something tonight? You're like a step off, you're a step back. You never know what's going on.
41:10🔗AdamI'm telling you about the Lesbo gymnasium. You're going with the gays. What's going on there, Drew? Come on, buddy. Here we go now. Hey, Drew. Come on, grab a knee, buddy. Come on, break it down. Let's go, get a hand in. Let's go now. All right, let's talk to Mike, line 535, cop. What's going on there, Mike?
41:43🔗AdamYeah. He wanted to beat on ethnic groups and they wouldn't let him. Yes?
41:49🔗CallerNo, that's our brothers to the north in LA County.
41:53🔗AdamAh, yeah. That's that. All right, so, yeah, is a cop a good job?
41:59🔗CallerI pay the bills. You know, it's definitely not boring. But it does get kind of mundane when you go to the same, you meet up with the same losers every day.
42:10🔗AdamHey, is it, is it, Mike, and we're gonna talk about these calendars for a second, but I really have this theory that it's about 1% of the population that's just effing it up for everybody. Like, you know, I call 911. Well, actually, I've never called 911, but I will one day, God forbid, I will call 911 and it'll be busy because they'll be on the phone with the a-hole who's called in for a sixth time this month. You see what I'm saying? Can we just start, when's the mercy killing start? You know what I mean? I mean, it's like, how come there's a very small population that gets to monopolize the police department? That's a domestic dispute every other night. It's another 911 call. They're in a feud with the neighbors, so they're gonna get a restraining order and then they call the cops on them because the stereo's up to, you know what I mean? There's like, 99% of the population has nothing to do with the cops and the 1% is either getting arrested or constantly calling them for nothing. Can we do something about this 1%? Mike, how about a pistol whipping?
43:18🔗CallerHey, as long as there's no video cameras around, I'm all for it.
43:21🔗AdamPlease, I mean, as a cop, you just run into the same guys over and over again, right?
43:26🔗CallerWell, it depends, yeah. I mean, when I was working, it was always, it was usually, in the area I worked, it was always the same gang members, the same, you know.
43:51🔗AdamAnd, but, yeah. Go ahead. Well, what were they wearing? That's the whole thing. The firemen got their shirts off and they wear nothing but suspenders and they hold like a Dalmatian in front of their junk.
44:03🔗DrewOr they're wearing the big protecting fireproof pants.
44:07🔗CallerWell, you don't know why they can wear that.
44:10🔗CallerThat's because all they do all day is lift weights. How often do firemen go out and...
44:15🔗AdamI know, that's my thing. They sit around all day and they just eat and lift weights. I know, they're huge guys. Chicks love them, too, though.
44:27🔗AdamYou know what I love, by the way? I love how the Army doesn't like the Navy. I love how the cops don't like the firemen. I like how the Highway Patrol doesn't like the sheriffs. I like the fact that people that we look at is essentially the same, hate each other.
44:47🔗AdamYeah, that's cool. I like that. I just, I don't know why I'm amused with the, like, the Army hating the Navy. But Drew hates Dr. Phil, the same guy. All right, so Mike, what are they wearing in this calendar?
45:05🔗AdamThat's the world's most unsatisfying show.
45:07🔗DrewBut the point is, well, again, made the same, which is guys don't care what they did. So they A, don't want to see them in the garb of whatever their job was.
45:25🔗DrewSo it's why we've never heard of that calendar. Right. No one's bought it.
45:29🔗AdamWell, this is my theory, where is it when you go to, you go to a female, you go to a male strip joint, the guys are always dressed as cops or firemen. Indians. Or Indian. No, not Indians.
45:43🔗DrewAren't they? Idiot. Is that just in the gay strip?
45:45🔗AdamWell, that's just the gay stuff, but they're dressed as guys who have jobs, essentially. Or some wool. Women are dressed as sluts.
45:53🔗DrewNo, they're dressed as strippers. Right?
45:55🔗AdamAll right. Just start to say, gah bah, gah bah.
45:59🔗AdamListen, I'm trying to make the point, which is, stop crapping on everything that comes out of my mouth.
46:08🔗DrewI was just saying that the job they're doing, the job is stripper.
46:12🔗AdamNo, no. Here's the point I'm making. The guys dress up in outfits of cops and firemen, other professions, women dress as nothing. They dress as prostitutes. They dress as sluts. They don't need a job. Guys don't want that. Indian, not a job.
46:35🔗DrewBut the point I was making is they do dress as a job. The job they're doing, stripper. That's the job they want.
46:44🔗AdamYou're halfway back. We'll take a quick break. We'll be back.
46:49🔗CallerLook in the hookup, call the dateline. Stick a waist in time with the wrong person. Call the dateline. One call is all you need to make. Call the dateline.
47:22🔗AdamHey, y'all, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-A-V-E-1-9-1. All right, it's time to get back to the phones, Drew. Smoking pot, make them grow boobs. Take that verse. Yeah, yeah, why not? We haven't taken that one in a while. Ryan? Hello, Ryan.
47:44🔗CallerHere's my question for, I've been listening for, oh, 16 years, since Silver Axe. I was looking off the air, Drew, a long time, a couple of years ago, about psych grad school. Missed you at Stanford, but here's the question. You used to say back in the day that it's possible that adolescents, when they're using a lot of marijuana, males can grow breasts, sort of?
48:30🔗DrewYeah, I imagine it's been reported. Actually, I'm thinking back when I was in medical school once I saw a Hispanic guy who was about 35 with this. Yeah, wasn't from the weed, though. Yeah, it was the debate was the weed or not.
48:43🔗AdamWell, look, it's always a genetic predisposition that gives you this stuff. Sometimes stuff doesn't, here's, it is.
48:52🔗AdamIf a guy's supposed to be skinny, you can't make him fat with a bad diet. I mean, when he's 60, you can. You can't make Iggy Pop fat, you just can't.
49:07🔗CallerNo, I'm cool, I'm cool. I'm just kind of curious about that. Also, how about having Mr. Birchum on the show? I've had this mini campaign going in my head. I wanted to write letters or call and I couldn't think of a good question to get on the air and this is something I thought it was a cool question, but yeah, Birchum, big fan.
49:51🔗DrewWait, this minute? We have to get a little woodworking question going here.
49:54🔗AdamWell, yeah, now that what a lot of people don't know. Well, okay. But just to straighten this whole thing out. What happened is Mr. Birchum was on this show many years ago as a guest when it was just local out here on the Mother Station, K-Rock, where it all originated many years ago out here in Southern California. Then when it went national, we didn't monkey with any of that Birchum stuff because who the hell knew who Mr. Birchum was anywhere outside of Los Angeles. But now since he pops up on Crank Yankers periodically, maybe some of the folks who listen to the show are hip to the Birchum cat.
50:36🔗DrewSo do you want Brian to get a woodworking question?
50:39🔗AdamWell, yeah, get a woodworking question, sure.
50:43🔗DrewHang up on Ryan and get a woodworking question. A real tough, serious woodworking question.
50:48🔗AdamOr we can just go ahead. Never gonna find it.
51:32🔗AdamSure. It was a former republic of the Soviet Union, I think, before the violent coup.
51:39🔗DrewIt's, Amy, just the description of a symptom, that you have a painful genital exterlge.
51:43🔗CallerYeah, it's a real pain, yes. Actually, it's an inflammation of your barcelon glands.
51:48🔗DrewIt can be, it's one of the things that can cause it.
51:50🔗CallerOkay, well, I was diagnosed with it about four years ago, and I was wondering, is there any cure for it, or anything that I can use to relieve the pain?
52:01🔗DrewWell, here's our usual question with unexplained pelvic and genitalia pain, were you sexually abused growing up?
52:29🔗CallerYes, there's actually, there's a Strep B that you can get down there.
52:33🔗DrewThat's a vaginitis then? No, it's a vaginitis.
52:36🔗CallerYeah, so I was treated for a yeast infection, which they thought the yeast infection didn't go away, and then they did a culture test and it came back that I had Strep B, and they treated me for Strep B, and continually every month would test me for it, and I was fine, but I still had the symptoms.
52:51🔗DrewAnd is it a burning, or what kind of pain is it?
52:53🔗CallerYeah, it was burning, inflammation, it was red. I was tested for...
52:57🔗AdamHaving a vaginus, like having a disease.
53:00🔗AdamIt really is. It's really, it's like being born with diabetes, or something, it's a constant, it's like part diabetes, part Ferrari in your pants, you know, it's just a constant tuning.
53:11🔗CallerI've been to about five different doctors and specialists.
54:27🔗DrewExactly. Women and menopause get this all the time. Oh, really? What she's describing is a sort of a classic, what's called atrophic vaginitis. And valvodinia is her symptomatology from it.
54:55🔗AdamNo, no, it's Bronson Pinchot. Perfect Strangers. Yeah, Balke. He was from Vovodinia, I think. You know, I got reacquainted with that show a year ago when we were, you know, we were a year ago?
55:16🔗DrewI thought it was like April or May, and it was down, February?
55:19🔗AdamWell, here's how I know. All right, she needs to go back to the doc.
55:22🔗DrewYeah, I mean, it's, yeah, I'm not going to add much to a bunch of experts that have looked and seen and taken your history and tested. I'm just saying, think in terms of, look up atrophic vaginitis, and I've had some people have some success going down that path.
55:33🔗AdamHere's how I know we're coming on to a year from us going to North Carolina and doing Dawson's Creek. And here's why it stands up. My memory is a horrible experience because we were having to do this God forsaken radio show from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. And then we'd have these early wake up calls each time. And to have to be on the set where we just sat around in our trailer. Then each time I would fall asleep, some guy would tap on the thing and say, we need you on set. And then I would get up and stumble out there and then sit around for 20 minutes. I go back to my trailer, go back to sleep again. Then the same guy come get me. But anyway, it started off in a miserable way and it ended in a miserable way for me, which was, A, we were staying at this sort of rustic kind of place. And here's the whole thing about rustic charm. It's like the bed and breakfast. Bed and breakfast sounds great, it's very romantic. Oh, you'll be staying in someone's home. You'll get that home cooked meal and that warmth that you can only get. No, what you got is a weirdo family. And these bed and breakfast families, by the way, same group, they're like the homeschool tribe. They're just a bunch of weird relatives floating around, getting weird. Some guy, you know, a comforter that looks like a Rorschach test, if you shine a black light on it, I'm sure.
56:51🔗DrewThere's weird boundaries in those houses too, because you can kind of always hear it through the walls. There's people creaking and walking around outside.
56:56🔗AdamThere's a couple of things, and we're getting back. I'll get back to Dawson's Creek. The bed and breakfast thing, don't do it. Don't anyone do it. Here's the thing too. There's always the weird family member who's not been spoken of or introduced to you. The grandma, the weird aunt from the old country, she's planted in the kitchen. So when you're heading out of your room and it's like two in the morning and you want to get a yogurt from the refrigerator, weird grandma sitting there giving you the stink eye. You're not sure if you should say hi to her. What is she? She doesn't seem to be looking at you. Weird little energy. Somebody's cooking you a breakfast. It's not quite what you wanted. There's some kids running around. I'm comfortable. I don't know how I got involved with this thing, but I decided, somebody decided, and it was my wife that we need to stay in a bed. It's always a disaster. Don't anyone do it. It shouldn't be called a bed and breakfast. It should be called squatting someone's guest room.
57:56🔗DrewI guess it could be okay if you were like, our cottage is away from the main everybody. It's that way.
58:00🔗AdamYou walk in, there's pictures, everyone, there's toys, there's kids running around, there's the weird old family members planted there. It's weird. There's boundaries in it. You don't want to have sex. It's like, you and your ball away in their bed, their extra bedroom, the kids probably sleeping there the next night. They give you a key. If you go out, you're weird about coming home, like, well, hey, we better get back. I don't want to be banging on the door two in the morning, waking the family up. Let's just stay at a hotel. Drew and I stayed at a place in North Carolina that was real. We're getting back to it. But this place was bed and breakfast. It had all that rustic old world charm. Rustic old world charm means floor makes noise when you walk. And it's like this floor, like, if you put an egg on, it would just go rolling to the other side of the room and bust on the baseboard. I mean, everything was out of kilter.
58:55🔗AdamFunky clock radios from the 70s. And it just, just give me a nice hotel room any day of the week, I'll just get loaded on the minibar. All will be forgiven. But anyway, so we're out north. We gotta go to North Carolina and do what? Dawson's Creek. And the reason I know it's one year ago, and it's coming up on one year ago in just a couple of weeks, is because the LA. Marathon was going on the day I was supposed to get picked up to go to the airport. And again.
59:30🔗AdamI was talking about it on Kimmel a few weeks back. I'm gonna talk about it here. Do we have to shut the entire goddamn city down? It's a bunch of idiots who got something to prove to themselves, can prove it to themselves. Meanwhile, I'm locked in my house. I can't move now. I can't go down the hill. I can't get around the whole, the entire city. And by the way, here's the thing about the Marathon. Run the marathon this way. Go to a high school in Pacoima and see if you can make it around the track 122 times. Done. Do not shut the entire city down. These people, they just, they circumnavigate the entire city and LAX is on one side. I'm on the other side. And the entire marathon route zigzags between me as if they, as if some planner sat down and said, how can Adam not get to LAX on a Sunday?
1:00:26🔗AdamThis is how. Now what a lot of people don't know is the Dawson's Creek folks said to me, and here's the part where it just becomes like surreal. I've had many airport outings go south. The Dawson's Creek people said, look, there is an eight a.m. flight that leaves out of LAX Sunday morning. We're gonna need you to be on. And I said, eight a.m.? What the hell I gotta get up at the crack of half?
1:00:55🔗AdamTo get down to LAX on Sunday. I don't need to do anything on Dawson's Creek in North Carolina until Monday morning. What am I getting up? I have to get up at 5.30 on Sunday morning. What are you ruining my whole day? There's nothing that flies out later. Well, there is a two o'clock flight. Oh, okay, well sign me up for that. Well, we don't recommend it. Well, why not? It's the last flight that goes to North Carolina that day. Now, if you miss that flight.
1:01:24🔗AdamOr there's weather, whatever happens. You can't get there Monday morning when we have you scheduled to tape. You'll be liable. And you will have to charter a flight at your own expense from LA to whatever. Now, here's the beauty about the Corollas. I gave it some thought and I did some soul searching.
1:01:43🔗AdamAnd I said, put me on that two o'clock flight. And they said, now again, if you miss it, you will have to charter a flight to North Carolina.
1:01:51🔗DrewThere's even more beauty to Adam Carolla, which is when they say, okay, Adam, we're gonna pick you up at 12.30, if it's a two o'clock flight. 12.30?
1:02:00🔗AdamNo, how dare you? No, I knew that it was the last flight out of LA to North Carolina and that it was two o'clock and that I should get picked up with plenty of time to make it. So the car was supposed to pick, and by the way, when do I get to start suing these car companies? The car was supposed to pick me up like 11.45 or noon straight up, you know? Ran in now. Now there's the LA Marathon, and he can't make it to my house. He can't get up there. Every street is closed. He can't get up the hill, can't go up the canyon. And the guy never calls. He calls once to say he's gonna be a little bit late, and then the next time he never calls. He just never, just can't make it. He never shows up. I'm just standing out front at noon with the bag. So there's the other thing, looking like, at a certain point, it's like 1 10.
1:02:48🔗AdamThe guy calls at like 12 15. He says, I'm gonna be, I'm running a little bit late. I know, what do I do? You know, and I'm just standing out front of the house going, he's gotta be rolled up any second now. Now it's like, I'm gonna be paying for my own flight to North Carolina. I don't even wanna go there. Nobody should have to pay to go to North Carolina. They should pay you to go to North Carolina. So I'm sitting there and eventually now it's like, yeah, it's one o'clock and I got a two o'clock flight. And I just start screaming at my wife, get in the car. You know what? Get in!
1:03:19🔗AdamNever, never do you argue, by the way, then in these situations, you just start, immediately start screaming at you, get in the car, get out of the way, get stuck. You're gonna drive the car back, blah, blah, blah. Jump in the car, start speeding down the canyon, hop on the freeway, it's packed. Everything's packed. Everything, oh, the marathon. It's like, wait a minute, but the marathon started at 7.30 in the morning.
1:03:43🔗AdamIt's like March 13th or something like that. Okay. People, please listen to me. If you cannot finish a marathon in seven hours, don't run it. Because you know what? You haven't run a marathon. The idea that I could collectively walk 26 miles if you just added it up over the course of three weeks. Sure. Does that mean I did a marathon?
1:04:05🔗AdamNo, there's a time. There's a time where like, I could probably get a 1500 on the SAT if you gave me six weeks. No, you got an hour and a half or whatever the hell they give you. All right, so point is entire city shut down. I get to LA, I missed the flight.
1:04:24🔗DrewI don't remember that part. And so what'd you do?
1:04:27🔗AdamI had my peeps, I knew I was gonna miss it. I find a backup flight that they'd ever told me about that was like at like 2.30 or something and made that one. But of course, got dropped off with my bags, a week's worth of luggage, by the way, all the way at the wrong end of the airport because I was trying to make my one and then had to chug it like a madman, like OJ running through the airport. All the bags have all the way around to the, Drew, I, da, da, bah!
1:04:56🔗DrewThat's why you were so delightful when you arrived.
1:04:58🔗AdamOh, I was like pissed when I got there. But just look, here's the deal. Here's the thing, LA Marathon, 8 a.m. at 2 o'clock, it's over. Lift all the cones, start the traffic. Hey, if you're still running, you're running. Get up on the sidewalk, you're gonna get run over. Just keep going. Keep going. It's fine. Just keep going. Meanwhile, I get to go about my day. It's fantastic. Okay, where the hell was I, Drew? What was I talking about? It's coming up in one year.
1:05:33🔗CallerNot much. I just first want to preempt it with Dr. Drew. I've been listening to you guys for a long time and I really respect you. Adam, you're really funny. But like I said, I've been listening to you guys for a while and so I hear the usual litany of-
1:05:52🔗AdamHold on a second, Drew, I got a problem here. When I was in the middle of my tirade, I felt like a little loogie pearl come up in my mouth like I was yelling so much. It was like I had a little pearl of loogie.
1:06:29🔗AdamNo, no, it's not on me. I brought it up. It was about the size of a pearl onion. And I thought, now, don't swallow it. But then I couldn't spit it out.
1:06:41🔗DrewSometimes it gets strangely under your tongue or something. Sometimes it doesn't work like that. That is semen.
1:06:49🔗AdamBut not the luge. OK, let's keep going. I don't know where it went. That's all I'm saying. We're speaking to Deborah.
1:06:58🔗DrewSo, Deborah, you know that we normally talk about the abuse survivors, yes?
1:07:02🔗CallerOK, so I have had quite a bit of family troubles when I was younger. And but never any, at least as I can remember, never any sexual abuse.
1:07:18🔗DrewBe a little more specific. What happened with your family?
1:07:21🔗CallerWell, I was adopted when I was three and a half.
1:07:27🔗CallerHow come? Because my from at least from my understanding, my birth mother, she had me when she was really young. And then her parents, alcoholics, yada, yada, yada. At any rate, she she just couldn't take care of me.
1:07:42🔗DrewSo you have you have no recollection prior to three? No, nothing. You don't remember your birth mother? Nothing?
1:07:48🔗CallerNo. I mean, I wish I did, but I don't.
1:07:53🔗CallerWell, because my adoptive parents weren't exactly weren't exactly the type of people that should be adopting children.
1:08:03🔗DrewWas it that or was your behavior kind of?
1:08:06🔗CallerBoth, I'm sure. I mean, when I was a child, I wasn't like of the coherent mind to be like, oh, well, you know, I'm doing this because of this reason and that sort of thing, you know, but looking back on it, I'm sure I was acting out because of, you know, cause I didn't understand what was going on. And.
1:08:24🔗AdamWell, all right. But what's happening now? Are you getting any therapy?
1:08:34🔗CallerWell, yeah, I know. One, I just can't afford it right now. And two, I've been through so many therapists when I was younger, cause my parents were trying to figure out what was wrong with me.
1:08:45🔗DrewBy the way, how much imagination do they need to have knowing that you had an alcoholic, chaotic family system and were banned at age three and a half? What, they couldn't put that all together?
1:08:54🔗AdamWell, also give your adoptive parents a little credit, by the way, sending you to therapy and adopting you. I mean, why, I know, look, I mean, here's what happens. You get, here's what happens.
1:09:09🔗AdamYou get abused, you get abused from zero to four, whatever. Then somebody, and I'm not saying they're saints, but they're hell of a lot better than where you came from and certainly a lot better than me. They come in and they do everything they can, but the abuse was so profound that you just act out and you throw tantrums and they have to discipline you and then you resent them, but you're really angry to your biological parents. And then it sort of goes down in the book as, well, they weren't great people. I don't know, the idea that they came in and took you to try to get some therapy and stuff. I mean, maybe they're a little bit better than you're giving them credit for, Debra.
1:09:47🔗CallerYes, it's just hard for me because when I was 10, they kicked me out of the house and made me pull weeds to earn money so that I could sleep inside. And-
1:09:59🔗AdamYeah, but I'm sure because you were just raising holy hell.
1:10:05🔗CallerIt was because I wasn't doing my chores and I wasn't following what they thought was the plan. My sister was adopted from a different family and she was adopted when she was like a couple hours old or something. And so, and she's a year older than me. And so, just from taking a lot of psychology classes myself to try to figure myself out, and from talking with my mom, my adopted mom, just that, you know, she had an idea of what she wanted me to be like and I wasn't that idea. And like when I was younger, I would hoard food in my room and so they would like chain the refrigerator's door shut and wouldn't let me have anything unless it was like at a specific meal time. And-
1:10:53🔗AdamIt's hard to tell, but Drew, you and I sort of know that you had a feral child here that you were trying to set boundaries for, it sounds like to me. And that can get a little ugly sometimes.
1:11:11🔗AdamIt does not going down in Deborah's mind is that, it's like, oh, they chained the refrigerator shut.
1:11:17🔗DrewNo, it's because she would have cracked it open otherwise.
1:11:20🔗AdamIt sounded like you had parents that were overwhelmed and really were trying to do something. And here's the only reason I'm siding with them. A, they adopted you. And then B-
1:11:31🔗AdamThey put up with you. And then C, they sent you to therapy.
1:11:33🔗DrewThey did their parenting. Yeah, they tried to come to terms with it.
1:11:36🔗AdamYeah, and by the way, all you ingrate kids out there, if your kid, if they send you to therapy, it's usually because there's some interest in you getting better because they're trying to punish you in some way. So Debra, it's hate your biological family a little bit more. Love your adoptive family a little bit more and hit some therapy.
1:12:15🔗DrewHey, everybody, it's Loveline. 1-800-LOVE-191 is the number. We are having the good fortune tonight of a presence of a dear, dear friend, Mr. Birchum. Thank you for joining us, Birchum.
1:12:31🔗AdamAppreciate it. I came out here for the Corolla kid. He's a big boy. He's a good looking kid, that Corolla. What are you gonna do? Great looking. He's hung like a black rhino. He's got then a matinee idol good looks. You know what I'm saying?
1:13:20🔗DrewJust in case there are people out there that have not had the experience or the great good fortune of experiencing our dear, dear, dear friend, Mr. Birchum. Birchum, why don't you explain your heritage and how you've kind of-
1:14:56🔗AdamLet's do a little Latinam. Good times.
1:14:59🔗CallerYeah, I was wondering, what does the long-term effect of meth, XC and pot have on the human brain?
1:15:06🔗DrewHe's a big boy. He is a big boy and there is no added effect. In other words, there's no synergistic effect. It's just additive. Whatever meth would do, plus pot, plus XC is what you get.
1:15:18🔗AdamYour brain, quiet down, punk. It's brain's like one of those trays that goes at a bar under where they pour the drinks. You know what I mean? It's just got five different kinds of booze in there. What are you gonna do? You're messing yourself up, son.
1:15:33🔗DrewHere's the deal. The meth and the XC are gonna be your biggest problem because those are drugs that can damage brain.
1:15:37🔗AdamI'll tell you something about Birchum. He gets high on life and those amyl poppers.
1:16:03🔗AdamI know what goes on on the street. So I was saying, we can learn a few things from the gays. Yes, son is gay. Fashion, one of them, and the amyl poppers. That's the other thing they got right.
1:16:43🔗DrewYou're talking to me. I have memory problems. And that's the ecstasy and the meth that causes that. And that is associated with limbic brain damage, memory problems, depression, panic, and anxiety. And that will be persistent. So it's important to take medication.
1:20:10🔗What I want to go with, I don't know. I live out here in Michigan. We get a ton of snow.
1:20:14🔗AdamYou understand why I hate our callers.
1:20:15🔗DrewWhat kind of roof should you put on a mobile home? A trailer.
1:20:18🔗AdamWell, okay, here's the thing, everybody. You want a good steep pitch on your roof, especially if it's going to be snowing. I mean, if it's going to be snowing, you can't have a flat roof. We can have flat roofs out here in Los Angeles area. Just flat, a little pear pit, a little scupper action.
1:20:50🔗AdamIt hits all kinds. You want a steep roof. You want it steep. And not only that, not only when it's steep, but I swear to Christ, you can have a roof that has, you can see light coming through it. If it's a steep enough rake, it won't leak. You got a good steep rake on that roof. It ain't going to leak. Plus, you get the insulation, because you got that big air space up there, and secondly and thirdly, you get a lot of storage up there. Oh, good time.
1:21:16🔗DrewSo even on a trailer, it's a good idea to just stick a roof on there.
1:21:19🔗AdamWell the guy's asking. He's building them a modular home. He wants to know what pitch. I say go steep as you can with the pitch. You got room up there, plus you can put mechanical stuff up there. You put a heating unit, you can run duct work, you got storage, it's nice to have space in there.
1:21:32🔗DrewI'm sure he's got like a DSL and surround sound. I'm sure that's what Scott's got going on.
1:21:37🔗AdamNo, I'm talking about space to run ducts, to run heating.
1:21:40🔗DrewI'm saying, but I'm sure Scott's going to have DSL, all kinds of fancy electronics going up there, right?
1:21:45🔗AdamIn the modular home, you're lucky if you got a clock radio, white trash. That's albino trash there. Now you get some attic space in there, you get a little crawl space in there, it's a good place to stuff the hookers too. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes those tricks go bad.
1:22:01🔗DrewWell, it reminded me that you occasionally described to me having, in our lengthy friendship that we've maintained since the time you were on Loveline, maybe as much as 10 years ago, that you have flashbacks sometimes. What triggers those flashbacks? What are they flashbacks of? You mentioned the tricks going better.
1:22:19🔗AdamI don't want to look into the past, I want to look into the future. You understand? Whoa.
1:22:33🔗DrewIt actually is, because I was waiting for a word working question for you, so here's Joel at 20. I'm tired. All right, Joel, last question. Joel. Joel.
1:22:40🔗CallerYeah, I moved recently and the movers lost a couple of table legs and I wanted to replace them, but the company that makes the table won't send them to me. So I was wondering what the best way to maybe replicate those table legs, but where is a good place to take them?
1:22:59🔗AdamBig penis. Well, you don't got a lathe, do you, son?
1:23:09🔗AdamIt takes all kinds. Here's the dealio. You need to detach one of the two that you have left. Go down to a hardwood store, all right? Place that sells hardwood.
1:23:21🔗DrewThat's a place I've never been to. What are those like?
1:23:23🔗AdamI know. Because the only dudes go there. Then them queer baits, they don't let in.
1:23:57🔗AdamYou got to go to a hardwood place. You understand? You just call up, look in the yellow pages. Yeah. Don't bring up yellow through it. I'll have another flashback.
1:24:08🔗DrewI want to make sure I don't bring in things. Somebody peed on you. No. I'm sorry.
1:24:13🔗AdamThat was the color of Charlie at Jack Off.
1:24:22🔗AdamGo down to that place. Bring that spindle with you. Bring that leg. Show it to them. They might have something there that'll match. If not, they can match it for you. Because they do, you know, when you're doing a staircase, you do all the balusters and all that kind of stuff in the spindles, they make them up.
1:25:08🔗AdamYour rough opening should measure about a half inch in each direction, width and height bigger than the outside of the jam. You need a little space to level things in there.
1:25:18🔗AdamBoring bit. Jeremy, don't make me turn on you, Corolla. Jeremy, here's what you need. You don't have any tools, do you? You don't have a nail gun or anything, do you? Just a hammer. Just a hammer. Get some finished nails. You need shims. You need a level and you need shims. All right?
1:25:38🔗AdamShimmer wooden shims. You know, they're bundles. You get bundles of wooden shims. Here's what you do. Swing the hinge side. That's the butt side. I call that the butt side. I don't know why. And the other side's the strike side. That makes a little more sense. Level that and swing that and swing the door. And then work the margins around the door. So you see what I'm saying?
1:26:00🔗AdamNo. You take the hinge side. You got an opening. You got a rough opening, right? Go in and take the side where the hinges are. It's on the jam. The jam. Level it up. Plum it up. Put a few finish nails in there. Use some shims. Get all plumb and level and you're done. Now the other side is loose. Now you shut the door and you work the space around it so it's all the same using the shims and nail it off in place.
1:27:16🔗AdamNo, I think he was okay with you. I'm just saying, when Hendrix is out on stage, he's doing a solo, you don't pull up next to him on the bass. You just stand back. Let him do his thing.
1:27:40🔗AdamBut don't you, I mean, Drew, don't you shim things up? Like if you got a table that wobbles and you slide a piece of cardboard underneath the short leg.
1:27:49🔗DrewI will forever call that a shim. I don't know what the hell I would call it.
1:27:51🔗AdamYou would never call it, you got a block.
1:28:08🔗CallerWell, me and my girlfriend's been living together for about two years. And like when we first got together, you know, we didn't have sex at first and then like three months later, we started having sex and it was good.
1:29:03🔗AdamEvery time you say graduated, every time you say she graduated high school, you get answers with something other than that, other than yes.
1:30:02🔗AdamYeah, that's fantastic. You're right, you got like a beautiful, like white trash schedule that you've been keeping, you've been keeping to like clockwork, by the way.
1:30:12🔗DrewMaybe get Birchum back here to give him some modular home suggestions.
1:30:15🔗AdamYeah, modular dumpster home decorations. Hey, listen, Brian, what's up with the pregnancy? You don't sound that stupid.
1:30:24🔗CallerWhat's up with the pregnancy, what do you mean?
1:30:27🔗AdamWell, Brian's kind of dumb, yeah. What's the plan with the pregnancy?
1:31:21🔗AdamIt's all like gnomes and toads and stuff like that.
1:31:24🔗DrewLittle waterfalls, all right. Hey, wait, let's get to the bottom of this. So what's the question?
1:31:28🔗CallerLike is sex supposed to be like not good after a while?
1:31:32🔗AdamEverything is not good after a while. Your favorite food is going to taste like crap one day.
1:31:37🔗DrewI don't have time, but there's something called the Coolidge Effect where men continue to be more aroused by diversity and novelty. But she's also pregnant. She's not as into, she's probably vomiting a lot.
1:31:45🔗AdamI didn't pregnant that into it either.
1:31:50🔗AdamWell, when you're 16 and you're living at home and you find an 18 year old who agrees to come to your house and have endless sex with you, it is the best thing that is by far.
1:32:03🔗AdamI didn't know it happened either. Evidently does. And of course, look, as many hours as she wants to log on top of your penis is as many hours as you're gonna do. And of course, after two years of that, things slow down and go to what would be a normal relationship cadence. Okay, you're entering that adult cadence. Hopefully. Is he gonna ask us this thing? All right, no more pregnancies. Don't screw up this kid. All right.
1:33:32🔗AdamI wanna thank Mr. Birchum for coming in tonight, and a little thank the Yanker's Blood. 10.30, Comedy Central, Tuesday nights. So until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew, saying, mahalo.
1:33:47🔗CallerThis has been Loveline. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
