Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. Ty Pennington is our guest tonight from Trading Spaces and also from Extreme Home Makeover Edition, or Extreme Makeover Home Edition. But Extreme Home Maker, yeah, you're right. I've seen, I think, every episode. Which hasn't been that many. I think it's been four. Maybe Sunday night was the fourth. There ran one like a special and then it hung back for a few weeks, and then it came back and I think there ran like three of them. I got to say, I love the show.
1:47🔗
Adam
I've said so much on the air many times. And I went on like a meeting for the thing, but it didn't work out. And every time I sit home and watch it, I think I wish I was on that show.
2:06🔗
Ty Pennington
No, we still got, I think we still got five more to do, four more to do, but we've done quite a bit. I mean, there's amazing stuff.
2:17🔗
Adam
All right, so you've done four, I mean, four have aired, you've done like four more, five more and there's still four or five more to go. And basically, Drew, it's like, it's sappy, but it works. Like a tear will come to your eye. I take these, you know, single moms and their... When the people who have had their homes made over come through the door, it's like they're crying, falling to their knees.
2:46🔗
Ty Pennington
Well, it's pretty amazing, most of the families really do have to have like a deserving reason for it. We've got...
2:55🔗
Ty Pennington
I tell you what, there's this one guy that it's going to air in a bit, but there's a family who's got a son in a wheelchair, got paralyzed and like flew out of a car. And the dude you can see in his eyes, like if he could hold a gun, he would have already kind of taken care of things. And it was just, I don't know, you know, I usually don't do like emotional issue type of deal that's in, but I'm like stuck right in the middle of it's pretty amazing that when you see like this kid leave the house the way it was and the look in his eye. And then when he, when he comes back and sees a house with an, you know, anyway, there's all kinds of cool things. I wish I could tell you that we did to the house, but anyway, yeah, it's kind of a good thing, man. Like doing a barn raising. It's pretty awesome.
3:30🔗
Adam
They do a complete home renovation, but then they do some really trick stuff with the kids rooms, put a telescope on the roof that's hooked up to the computer and you turn the backyard into a miniature major league ballpark and put in streams and I mean, it's not only, you know, it's not just a home makeover, it's a part miniature golf course, part home makeover, but it's really cool. And it, the thing's amazing about it is it takes a week and, you know, they put second floors on and stuff. I mean, you know, What the hell's the matter with you?
4:04🔗
Adam
I know. I don't have, first off, I don't have any gays. I got Mexicans. Gays, they don't know how to move. Mexicans, they don't move as fast as the gays. Mexican gay, that's a standoff. It's like, I want to move. I better have a smart cocktail. But the point is, is these guys, for them, the 170 people converge on the house like army ants.
4:31🔗
Ty Pennington
Well, we have, well, we've actually run into that, man. I mean, it's nice that we have them on site to make sure we can get things done. But that's also, since you have them there on site, you can't do anything like, well, you can't run half the electrical and, you know, whatever. Well, we only did this part of the house. It's like everything has to be completely up to code. So it's a blessing and a curse all at the same time.
4:49🔗
Adam
And what do you do? I got a million questions. It's really, it's really intriguing show, even if you're, you know, it's great because I'm into the building part of it. But then the whole family part is nice.
5:08🔗
Adam
By the UCLA faculty. But all right, so quick question. So they come in, it's an army that rolls into town in the middle of a suburban neighborhood and they work 24-7. So obviously if you're living next door to this arm, I mean, things are lit up, they're going at it. You must do something with the neighbors.
5:30🔗
Ty Pennington
Yeah. Well, you know, we definitely try and make some friends right off the bat. And what I'm serious that what's truly amazing about this is like half the time the neighbors become like a labor force. They like help us do a painting party, they'll like, I mean, I'm serious on one of the shows you saw where we did like a recording studio for the family, I had the idea they're like, okay, we got to do this recording studio. I don't know if we have any ideas. And you'd be surprised at how much money we actually don't have to actually complete the room.
5:58🔗
Ty Pennington
Well, I'm like, dude, well, let's like find all the scrap plywood we have in the dumpsters over there, cut it into rectangles and like do this whole. So I kind of designed that whole sound board room thing. But I had the whole neighborhood end up painting the things and they stayed up. You know, it's amazing. I had carpenters show up. They're like, dude, we're here to work. We live in the neighborhood. I'm like, well, follow me. So I was just amazed at how many people despise in their time.
6:19🔗
Adam
At the end, when the family comes in, the streets lined like some homecoming parade, you know, with all the neighbors holding up signs and everything. It's really, it's really nice. It's a big to do. But how does it? So the people that are living next door got to be saying, look, it's four thirty five in the morning. I got to get up at six thirty. You guys are hammering away all night.
6:41🔗
Ty Pennington
I mean, well, that's where Sears comes in and says, how about a new fridge? No, yeah, you got to take care of them.
6:48🔗
Adam
No doubt about it. Otherwise, I could imagine if they raise enough hell, you couldn't go ahead. I mean, you'd have to stop at six in the evening.
6:57🔗
Ty Pennington
We've had one. We've had one incident that. But then we all, you know, whatever. We found out what fetish is used into and then just, you know, pretty much order take out.
7:05🔗
Adam
And and what is the but you don't have to tell me the number. But there is a ceiling for each each house. I mean, it's like, hey, we're spending no more than 200 grand. That's too high. We're spending no more than 350 grand.
7:31🔗
Adam
You don't know. I mean, they'll spend what it's going to. They'll spend what it takes to get the house to where it wants to be.
7:36🔗
Ty Pennington
You know, they let me. Well, I mean, you know, you can imagine what this. But I know it's amazing. Well, you know, you know what it costs to build a house.
7:45🔗
Adam
Oh, well, see, that was the whole thing. Like, I didn't know, you know, it's like, you know, they mention Sears every every 15 seconds and stuff. I know Sears is coming in and buffing them out, the refrigerators and stuff. I didn't know if the other contractors were cutting a deal or doing, you know, I didn't know if there's some tradeout going on or not. But anyway, let's not get mired. Let's not get mired in the money. The point is, is amazing, Drew, is they're pouring concrete driveways to put and sawed down on the lawn. I mean, you know, it's not like they come home and there's stakes around the driveway and the fertilizers on the lawn. The house is done. Seven days. It's crazy. All right.
8:22🔗
Ty Pennington
Yeah, it really is crazy. When they told me, they were like, so here's the idea. I was like, really? And so, yeah, when we first set our pilot, I was pretty amazed because literally tore the whole house down, built the whole studs up, all new plumbing, all new electrical, all new everything. So, yeah.
8:36🔗
Adam
I mean, if you had the second floor roughly framed out in two weeks, it would be a big, big deal.
8:54🔗
Ty Pennington
No, I have to come up with the quiz. I have to ask you questions. That's a great idea.
9:24🔗
Ty Pennington
Oriented strand board. You know what it looks like. I know how much it costs and I know how cheap it is because those are the kind of materials I use. OSB and MDF.
9:46🔗
Adam
It's going to be a long night. Ask me some questions. Do you have anything? Nailing schedule on a shear wall. No. Any code stuff. Let's get basic here. I'm framing out a wall.
10:07🔗
Adam
I'm framing. Okay. Here's some good. Here's some good. That's a good basic finished stuff. Door height.
10:26🔗
Ty Pennington
You forget. I've been spending the last five years building furniture, so you keep going. All right.
10:51🔗
Adam
Mike, Ty, figure out some good finished carpenteries slash cabinetry questions. Mike, what's up?
11:04🔗
Not too much.
11:09🔗
Oh, I'm just wondering, my girl, I'm wondering if my girlfriend's medical condition can affect her arousal in any way. She has polycystic ovarian syndrome.
11:23🔗
Yeah. And insulin resistance.
11:26🔗
Drew
Well, that's part of polycystic ovarian disease. Did they recently start or anything for that? Some medication? Did they start her on something?
11:36🔗
And Yasmin.
11:44🔗
Drew
Yasmin is a progesterone-based birth control pill. And as we know from this show, that's the progesterone, the ones with high levels of progesterone are the pills or the shots that can really shut some women down. So that's probably what's going on here.
12:10🔗
Ty Pennington
I'd just like you to tell me the difference between a butt joint and a dovetail joint.
12:16🔗
Adam
Well, a butt joint is just two pieces of wood meeting. It's not really a joint. It's just a butt, butting it together. Dovetail is, you know, take a dovetail jig, you take your router and it interlocks like fingers.
12:46🔗
All right.
13:05🔗
I saw something on, I believe, the Discovery Channel, the Health Channel, and they were talking about the Swedish sex education programs they have over there and just about how I think they had the lowest reoccurrence of the AIDS virus and how the teenage pregnancy rate was the fourth lowest in the world. And I was just wondering where I could find more information. There's like a book or medical controls or something?
13:36🔗
Drew
You could check the, get on the web and check some of the research done by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Or an organization called Advocates for Youth in Washington, DC. They have compiled studies where they look at how positive outcome in youth behavior is correlated with the approach to sexual education in Western European countries, particularly as it pertains to media, media being seen as a partner in educating youth, applying principles that merely work without getting stuck in ideologies, youth is seen as an asset as opposed to a liability, all these sorts of things.
14:12🔗
Adam
Let me say this though, a couple things. First off, in these other sort of areas that aren't as, they don't have the diversity that we have over here. I mean, if you think about this country, we have all the sexual mores of the entire world showing up here. They're very different. I mean, you go drive down Fairfax, you see the Hasidim over there and you go across the street and you're in Little Ethiopia, which again, really, we got a little Ethiopia, no Little Italy. Really? That's the plan? That's the city we're all living in?
14:47🔗
Adam
We're living in a city. Here's all you need to know about the new city you're moving to, everybody. Little Ethiopia, Little Italy, now. Would you move to that city? I'm not telling you what city it is. Here's the big, here's the two things you need to know about the city. The big attraction, the big monument, it's a pit filled with tar. We call it the La Brea Tar Pits, it's near the street of La Brea. We've got a pit full of tar and we've got a little Mozambique over here, okay? No little Italy. Do you move to that city? Answer, no. All right. What am I saying? We've got stuff from everywhere. We've got some kind of pinata filled with crap. But the crap is from all over the world. And how are you going to talk everybody into the same thing sexually?
15:31🔗
Drew
But it's not so much as talking as applying what works. And being sensitive to all the cultural orientations, but merely applying things that work elsewhere. And imagine that things are kind of likely to work wherever you apply those ideas, at least.
15:45🔗
Adam
But the other thing, too, is that some of these countries are so small and so different. It doesn't always, you can't just translate it.
15:51🔗
Drew
No, it's true. Chris, in the bottom line, aside from the approach to sexual education, these countries have intact families. The ones that really, particularly the ones that have great success with delaying the onset of sexual activity.
16:05🔗
Caller
Well, actually, the thing that I found really interesting is they said that their early sexual experiences happened, like their first sexual experiences happened on average around the age of 13.
16:25🔗
Adam
They start drinking at 19, and we have sex three, four years before we start boozing. So they're...
16:30🔗
Drew
You have to look at that data, but the data I've seen... I've not seen the work on Sweden, but I've seen on Holland and France and Germany, and it's around 16, 17, and it's actually substantially later than the United States.
16:50🔗
Drew
Ty's been waiting for this moment for weeks. I just can't wait to talk about carpentry at Woodwork.
16:57🔗
Ty Pennington
Well, obviously, what I'd like you to tell us is in between a header, a beam, and a joist.
17:09🔗
Adam
Above a window, above a door opening. What's a joist? A joist would be... Well, you either got a ceiling joist, you got a floor joist, and then there's a rafter that would go above that. A joist is what's going to sit on the top plate of the framed wall or on the top plate of the pony wall down below. So you could actually be standing on a floor joist while a ceiling joist was above it.
18:08🔗
Ty Pennington
That is a good question. Since you brought up the Euro thing, what is the deal with the sensor? Like in Germany, you get these windows that actually open like this. They open that way. They open to the left. They open out. Let air out. They completely come out. There are just amazing windows in Europe, but we can't buy them here. And I just don't understand it. Why is that? Well, that's what I'd like to know.
18:32🔗
Adam
I'm just a humble. Remember what Jesus was? Yeah. I'm just a humble, humble carbonist. The difference between me and Jesus, I don't gouge the elderly. Oh, yes. They don't like to talk about that. There's two things they don't like to talk. They don't like to talk about Martin Luther King having his extramarital affairs. They don't like to talk about Jesus gouging the elderly.
18:58🔗
Adam
Yeah. I was saying, they got money and they need work done. There's nothing wrong with it. I know. It's always crazy when the elderly get nuts with the money, especially when they have a lot of money, because it's like you never really have the heart to say anything.
19:20🔗
Adam
I got the world's cheapest family. I mean, it's sort of cheap meets losers, like chooser. The choosers. We should change it in for the Corollas to the choosers.
19:31🔗
Adam
Here's what happens. Here's how the Corollas work. I'm the only functional person in the entire group. So once every nine to 12 years, one of them decides to try to do something. Like, they're going to remodel this, they're going to put some, they're going to strip off the old siding and paint it or whatever. They attempt to do this for a number of months until eventually I get dragged into it because it becomes overwhelming. Everything's overwhelming to them. And eventually I say, all right, look, what do you need? I'll send my guys over. We'll do it. I pay for most of it too. Sometimes they make these sort of proclamations of, oh no, we're going to, we're going to pay you back. My grandmother was a very proud woman. The rest of the Corollas, zero pride. Their hand comes right out. It's like, they got no problem. They'll take money, leasing cars, remodels. It doesn't matter. It's fine. Let the rich radio kid take care of it. My grandmother, a lot of pride. So I redid her living room. It needed to be completely, actually her dining room, it completely needed to be dry walled and fixed so that it can be re-wallpapered. So I sent my guys over there. It was about three grand worth of stuff. Tore off the old stuff, mud tape. I don't have to tell you the difference between the topping and joint compound.
20:46🔗
No I don't. Okay.
20:47🔗
Adam
So the point is, we did all that. Drew, I don't have to tell you. Yeah you do, but that's all right. The point is, when we were all said and done, she said, look, I got a lot of pride. I want to pay for this. You shouldn't have to orchestrate this whole thing and pay for it too. I said, all right, well, you know, it's probably about three grand. She said, well, I figured it'd take a couple days. Not a week and a half. I figured it'd be one guy for two days, not three guys for a week and a half. So I was prepared to pay about $200. I said, I don't have anything to do with anything. I did this as cheap and as fast as it could possibly be done. And she's like, yeah, but I was prepared to pay $200. So I'm going to put $200 toward this. And it was like her fantasy number, and I was like, hey, grandma, why don't you just work it so that I paid you to do it? The crew came over, did the dining room, then did some weeding in the yard and gave you $100 and then left. Why not that? You make some money this time. Well, anyway, she had it in her mind. It's going to be about $150, $200 for the complete remodeling of the dining room, by the way.
21:59🔗
Drew
I remember the controlling stuff at the beginning, too, where she was going to control what was done and what wasn't.
22:03🔗
Adam
That was a delight. It's always a delight. The Corollas are a delight. A delight. A delight. It's just a delight, that group. Jesus Christ. I got the call from her today. There's three pieces of drywall still here. Who's going to come? I had to take the stuff from her job and put it in my dumpster. That's a tough thing. Ty will back me up on this. That is really... That's equivalent to rape to the construction worker when stuff goes into your dumpster. You'd be amazed how protective you get over your dumpster. When you're doing a job and you got that dumpster, people start coming by. Once in a while, you'll show up the next day, there'll be a sofa in it and be like, oh, whoosh, I'm going to track down that son of a bitch. He had the temerity to put his sofa in my dumpster. I'm supposed to pay for the disposal? Yeah, Drew, if you put a dumpster out front of your house, those huge ones, those giant ones, yeah, you put one of those big dumpsters out, it will get filled.
23:02🔗
Ty Pennington
SUVs will start pulling up just at night, middle of the night, things will just be throwing in there.
23:10🔗
Adam
Hey, I don't go dumping by the freeway, I have the dignity to put it into somebody else's dumpster at four in the morning. All right, Ty Pennington is here, everybody. Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. One of my favorite new shows, ABC, eight o'clock on Sunday nights. We'll take a quick break. Ty, you got to think of some more questions now. We've not...
23:37🔗
Loveline will be right back, so get your problems ready.
24:02🔗
Adam
Ty Pennington is our guest tonight from Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. Favorite new show, ABC, 8 o'clock Sunday night. I believe I have seen all four episodes.
24:14🔗
Adam
Well, BattleBots is not on the air anymore. I was a big fan, especially that Ziggo and Vladeen Paylor. But my favorite part of BattleBots is when the dizzy hot chicks like Carmen Electra, who they just put out there as eye candy to interview the guys after the championship rounds would know nothing about it and just stand there. And here's the thing about hot chicks, they don't even try. She would just go, you did good against the other robot? They wouldn't even bother to know the names of the two that were going at it in the finals. They would just say the other one. No one would say anything. They would just be like, all right. She couldn't have been. By the way, must have needed, like Carmen Electra after being in that sea of nerds, you know, the sort of gearhead nerd guys, but she was like one season, must have just went home and taken like a loofah nerd bath. Like, you know, the movies, the rape scene, they're in the bath, they can't get clean, like, oh, I got some nerd on me. Where's Dave Navarro? I love that it's like, I don't care if those guys could have degrees in mechanical and chemical engineering from MIT, it doesn't, they would, see, repulsed by them, zero, big, fat zero. One tattoo, one goatee from some dude down the street with dropped out of the fifth grade, pow, in her pants faster than those guys. Just repulsed by them, like, sort of interviewing them, try not to, like how you, you know, basically how you hug a homeless person, like, hey buddy.
25:53🔗
Adam
Yeah, nothing, oh, everything, the GPS system in a Mercedes, that's, they invented that, ah, disgusted by them. Would wear a gardening glove to get my hand job. Disgusted. Oh, you women, you make me sick. All right, Ty Pennington here, everybody. Woo. What we talking about? Oh yeah, Ty's got a story.
26:16🔗
Ty Pennington
Yeah. Okay, so a couple years back, actually, I bought a warehouse in downtown Atlanta with my brother and these two other guys and we were renovating it into like, you know, seven apartments.
26:30🔗
Ty Pennington
Yeah. So anyway, years ago, I bought this warehouse in downtown Atlanta, renovated into seven apartments, right? And so basically what happened is I actually macked out an apartment for myself. So I lived there with these other tenants who were running from it. So pretty much I became a landlord, right? But in the middle of the night, I'd get phone calls, you know, like, dude, come over here. My toilet's all backed up and whatever, you know. The landlord. Yeah. So we'd flip coins. My brother lived down the street as well. And I was like, you know, I'm not going to be the only one that has to go for deal with that. So it's funny. My brother would actually be the one who ended up always getting the plumbing gigs because he couldn't really do any of the carpentry, but he was really pretty good with a, you know. Yeah, exactly. And actually, that's what it leads me to, the plumbing snake story. This is when I first found out that you should always wear protective eyewear. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So he's got the plumbing snake down there and like, you know, it's just banging back and forth in the old clay sewer pipes and it just comes whipping out and it just is crashing. It destroys the toilet and like just sewage goes flying across his face in the whole nine yards. And then anyway, and he's standing there going, you know, his expression of help me pretty much throw me a towel. And that's when I knew, my God, you know, wear protective eyewear to this day. I wear protective eyewear every day. Just thinking of the smell. So anyway, that's my story.
27:42🔗
Adam
Ty's brother died of hepatitis some months later, Drew. Yeah, the snakes, the power ones.
27:53🔗
Adam
It is disgusting. The tampons and God knows what else comes out of their big hair balls. All right, Ty, come on. Think of some stumpers for me. We're getting back to the phone.
28:08🔗
Yeah, how's it going?
28:10🔗
Caller
Yeah, I've been having white dreams lately and I heard it's like you're supposed to have it when you go through puberty.
28:17🔗
Drew
That certainly is when it's most common. And for the most part, that's because young males sort of don't know how to keep the lines clean. Speaking of plumbing.
28:33🔗
Adam
Yeah. I mean, look, it's okay. By the way, let me just say this. Kids crap themselves when they're when they're two.
28:42🔗
Adam
They don't they don't go, hey, before I bed down, I'm going to get up and go to the bathroom and make and then go back. And no, they just crap themselves.
28:50🔗
Adam
That's like that's what the wet dream is. Some of us still do it, you know, just that's because you boost, you're boost up, you're coked up, you're passed out. But what I'm saying is, yeah, no, I'm saying you get up, you go, if I if I got to go number two, I go number two before I take, I take a leak before I get in bed. I want to wet the bed. This is this is the equivalent of that.
29:11🔗
Drew
A little bit different is it because you're not concerned with not having a wet dream. You're just concerned with getting rid of the, yeah, but as you get older, you don't have to clean the pipes. That's right. That's right. And so what's going on with Adam? What's happening? This Adam. Adam?
29:31🔗
Drew
And anything else sort of you on medication? You started taking steroids or anything weird like that?
29:46🔗
Adam
Right. But I mean, if you're having it during the weeks, you got the four, you're squeezing four off.
29:50🔗
Ty Pennington
Is there a recurring girl that's or whatever, someone that's recurring in the dream constantly or is it just a different dream every time?
30:15🔗
Adam
Yeah, you know, Keanu Reeves always just sounds like he's acting badly, no matter what it's like. It's just always, the tone of his voice just sounds like bad acting.
30:22🔗
Drew
Yeah, but no one would talk about having wet dreams to their ex-girlfriend on the radio if he, does he have a current girlfriend?
30:45🔗
Ty Pennington
What happened? No, my mom is a wild human. She's funny, man. She's, well, she's a psychologist, much like yourself. So, but yeah, I'm always afraid I'm going to check her out on HBO's Real Sex. She's into tantric sex and stuff, so I'm thinking about coming out with a video called Tantrum Sex.
31:02🔗
Ty Pennington
Yeah. But no, I'm thinking about coming up with my own video called Tantrum Sex, which is when you really let out all your anger and-
31:21🔗
Wow.
31:41🔗
Caller
I don't know if you remember me, but I called about two or three weeks ago about my dad. He, I just found out he has like six months to live.
31:54🔗
Caller
Does that like get worse as he has more treatments? Because he's doing like really well right now.
32:01🔗
Caller
Like, well, him throwing up and like losing his hair and stuff because I just don't want to get my hopes up.
32:10🔗
Adam
Just because he's doing well and the chemo doesn't mean getting rid of his cancer, does it?
32:23🔗
Drew
It depends on the kind of chemo. Some chemos are well tolerated. Some make people very, very ill.
32:35🔗
Drew
If people want to pursue increasingly aggressive chemotherapies to see if they can get some sort of response, so they're trying to squeeze out extra weeks from a bad cancer, yeah, the chemo's tend to be increasingly toxic.
32:55🔗
Caller
Well, it's in the esophagus and in the liver and in the stomach and in the lymph nodes.
33:12🔗
Adam
Well, anyway, hey Shannon. You know, I don't know, you know, obviously it's a horrible time you're going through. I mean, we'll keep our fingers crossed for your dad and you just be there for him. Alright, now Germany or Florida.
33:27🔗
Adam
Oh yeah, well, all bizarre stories either emanate from Germany or Florida. All the macabre and the occult, all those crazy crimes, all the guys getting their penis cut off.
33:37🔗
Drew
So our callers call with the stories we tell them, was this Germany or Florida? I think that was Tori Amos wasn't it?
33:48🔗
Caller
Okay, a high school student jumped out a window to win a bet with a science teacher. While discussing evolution, the student claimed he would not be injured jumping out the second floor window of the school. The teacher bet him 20 bucks he would be injured. He jumped out the window and he wasn't injured but the student or the teacher got fired.
34:30🔗
We're going Florida then.
34:38🔗
Adam
Yeah. See, I'm a genius with the dollars. See, I know currency. Ty Pennington here tonight from Extreme Home Makeover. GIO. Get It On. It's Sunday night. It's ABC. It's really a great show. I've seen all four of them. I've seen everything that goes on in this show.
35:00🔗
Adam
I've not cried. Oh, yeah. If I see Brian's song, I might cry. Also, on one episode, a guy dropped an 18-volt Panasonic cordless drill off an A-frame ladder and it just busted. I broke down when I saw it. I saw it was a keyless chuck, it was a half-inch chuck, and the thing had ten clutch settings on it. It was a two-speeder. I broke down. I broke down at that point.
35:24🔗
Adam
All right, Ty, come on. Stump me, buddy. What do you got? You got a tool? Stump me with a tool. Boring bit.
35:33🔗
Adam
Ty, you got a pen there. Write it down. Figure it out. Take your time. Think of a tool. Ask me a blade question. All right. Here we go.
35:46🔗
Ty Pennington
A blade question. Let's see. If I'm cutting through metal with, let's say, a drill bit, is there something I should put on the metal to make sure that...
36:04🔗
Adam
Thank you. Let's talk to Annika. Now, come on. Pull out the heavy guns and stump me. What's going on with Annika? Annika?
36:32🔗
Caller
Nice. And also to tell Adam to stop bothering you tonight because I would much rather hear about your sex life than, you know, about tools.
37:00🔗
Adam
I'm calling from the Los Angeles. You know, Ty is one of People Magazine's most eligible bachelors.
37:30🔗
Adam
You're single. What does that mean? What about, like, this chick's name is, is it Annika or Annika? Yes, Annika. Annika. Yeah, she's 22. She's from Los Angeles. Annika's a hot chick name.
37:43🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's no Gertrude. Are you? Are you hot? Yes. See, I bet what happens, see, here's what happens, Ty's in a bad position.
38:01🔗
Adam
Yeah, listen, if you're a train wreck, there'll be a little hiccup before you say yes. I mean, let's, let's be honest. Ty, I mean, Ty's on top of the world because Ty's not only good looking, but he has a.
38:19🔗
Adam
And a skill. And when women see him coming into homes, whipping the shirt off with the six pack abs, going to work on all the downtrodden people's houses, you know, these making the dreams come true.
38:33🔗
Adam
Six pack abs. They're going nuts. You understand? That's what women are just did, did pow, right through the panties and onto the sofa. They got to flip the sofa cushions on because Ty, oh, one day he'll take his shirt off and come to my home and remodel me.
39:10🔗
You said that would never happen.
39:11🔗
Adam
Same thing Ty did to his old friends over there at TLC. He's too big now. He's a network man. He's over there. He's on network. He's got the national exposure. He's not getting the big bucks yet, but those are coming. That's coming season two when they start negotiating because the ratings have been good. Very good ratings.
39:30🔗
Adam
I'm squeezing him like a bar rag. Here's the thing. He knows he can't go in there and start playing hardball first season. He's on TLC. Guy's, you know, not a proven entity, but now, pow, look out.
39:46🔗
Drew
What he's saying, Ty, is go in there and just highball him and then lose the job and he'll step in and take the job.
39:52🔗
That's what he's going for there.
39:53🔗
Adam
Here's what will happen, though. I guarantee. Here's what will happen nine months from now. They'll be negotiating with Ty. I'll get a phone call and they'll say, hey, they're interested in you stepping in and doing it. Now, they're not interested in me telling that. They're interested in telling Ty that Adam Corolla's interested in doing it and he'll do it at half of whatever you're asking for. And then eventually, Ty will get the gig. He'll get about three-quarters of the money he's asking for. I'll just be worked in there to put a little heat under Ty. All right, we're going to take ourselves a little break. Ty Pennington here. I've worked out the next nine months. I don't know what else I have to do. Come up with something that's going to stump me, Ty. Come on.
40:29🔗
Adam
We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-191. Ty Pennington here from Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. Eight o'clock, ABC, Sunday night. My new favorite show. It's touching, Drew. You really gotta watch it. One week, boom, complete. Not only transform homes, but lives.
41:23🔗
Adam
And it's gonna be me and Joe Rogan. We got Rogan and Corolla on the line. They both say they'll do it for free. Actually, Corolla says he'll pay.
41:33🔗
Adam
He wants to be paid in sauce all blades. All right. Let's take, Ty's gonna come up with a stumper for me before the show.
41:42🔗
Yes.
41:51🔗
Caller
And Drew, I just finished reading Cracked about two weeks ago. I thought it was a great book.
42:04🔗
Caller
I thought it was a very helpful book and very insightful. I was wondering if I could ask a quick question about that before the drywall question.
42:12🔗
Caller
You mentioned the 12-step programs. I was wondering, are there any alternatives? Is a structured group therapy environment just as good as a 12-step program?
42:20🔗
Drew
No. No, and the 12-step has nothing to do with religion, nothing. The only reason there is even a higher power concept is to get you to let go of needing to control your environment and just having faith that in spite of capitulating and letting go, you can relax, things will be okay. Have faith in the tree, in nature, whatever, whatever your sense of something that you can have faith in that's more powerful than yourself, that's the whole concept, period. If you want to develop something more evolved, you can.
42:54🔗
Caller
Adam, I bought a fixture upper. I want to know what's the best way to get rid of the popcorn ceiling and also have orange peel texture. It looks like they used orange peel in a can to fix some holes and it's like dripped all down the wall. I want to skip trowel it. Do I have to prep the surface at all? It's got a semi-gloss paint on it.
43:10🔗
Adam
All right, well, Ty, you jump in as you want. You want to get rid of the acoustic ceiling, that popcorn ceiling. Sometimes it has traces of asbestos in it. So there's two ways you can do it. You can either wet it down like real good with like a warm water in a spray bottle, use one of those Hudson sprayers, you know, just really wet it down and then take it off with a broad knife or you can just skim over the whole thing with joint compound. So meaning it's just it's textured, the dips are about an eighth or three sixteenth deep, just skim coat the whole thing. You don't unlock any of the asbestos particles that way or anything. So you could probably just skim it. You know what I'm saying? You don't need to you don't need to hang a new lid on there. Just just skim it.
43:58🔗
Ty Pennington
You can skim it or you could, you know, and then you could pop that too if you wanted to do another texture like a Venetian whatever, you could do that as well.
44:10🔗
Adam
Yeah, if you got semi, yeah, you got the you've got semi-gloss paint on there and you want to repaint or whatever, you don't want to you want to you want to here's what you want to take some TSP trisodium phosphate and hit it real good. Clean the sheen off it before you repaint it. Then, of course, prime it first.
44:36🔗
Adam
Yeah. No, they got the water based stuff. All right. Good times there, buddy. All right.
44:42🔗
Ty Pennington
I painted a stairwell one time, man. Early. Oh, my God. All the doors were shut. They came and got me for lunch. I was like, stairwell's done. They're like, I'm out. They had to wake me up, take me to lunch. Nice.
45:32🔗
Ty Pennington
It took exactly somewhere between 1,100 days, and I have no idea. I was hoping you were going to tell me. That's why I asked you the question.
45:42🔗
Adam
All right. Ty, come on, buddy. Let's go. He's got a lacquer brain, this kid. It's all that, you know, he doesn't, you know, I told you, when you surf a lot, you get that weird water in your ears starts to seep into the brain. It starts seeping into the brain. He's got salt water on the brain. Ty Pennington is here tonight. Ty, before the night is true, you come up with a stump er. Okay, I'll convene.
46:07🔗
Adam
Convene with your staff, whatever it's going to take. Ty is here from Extreme Makeover Home Edition, my new favorite show. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
46:18🔗
Here it is.
46:21🔗
Tons of lame people and no decent prospects.
46:24🔗
Call the Dateline. Call the Dateline. 1-877-889-DATE. Loveline will be right back, so get your problems ready.
47:01🔗
Adam
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Ty Pennington is here tonight from Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Also, you can see him on Trading Spaces, which is on TLC and has quite a cult following. Oh, yes. Sunday Nights ABC is the 8 o'clock, the Extreme Makeover Home Edition. And as I've said, four episodes, seen them all. Enjoyed every one of them. All right. We are going to get back to the phones. Ty, have a Stumper for me.
47:42🔗
Ty Pennington
Okay. So let's say you've got an older house, right? And you've got tongue-groove flooring nailed right to the choices. There is no subfloor underneath it.
48:01🔗
Ty Pennington
Now let's say that you've got gaps in your flooring. You've got breezes coming through. Let's say you don't live on the West Coast. So you've got a cold situation happening there. So, however, it's going to cost you way too much money to pretty much...
48:15🔗
Ty Pennington
Tear it up. Tear all the walls down. Put a new flooring down. So how do you... What is your solution to...
48:25🔗
Adam
All right. Do I want to put... Am I trying to save the T&G or do I just want to go over it with something? Okay, here's what I'm saying. If I want to go over it with something, I would lay down some quarter-inch, could be plywood, could be masonite. I'd get a good flat base on there. I would shoot a bunch of subfloor adhesive on there and nail the hell out of it. I would actually probably screw it with some coarse thread. No, I'd just go down through it if I was going to just put something back over it.
48:58🔗
Drew
Is there some sort of chemical or bonding thing you can put over it? Some sort of sealant?
49:02🔗
Adam
It would be unnecessary. You could put a membrane down, but you wouldn't need to do that. If I was going to put tile, I'd want to use a hardy board or a backer board or Wonder boards, half-inch concrete board. If I was trying to save it, that would be a different story.
49:20🔗
Adam
Tongue and groove, yeah. The tongue and groove shouldn't have a lot of gaps in it though because it would be tongue and groove. You know what I'm saying?
49:30🔗
Adam
If I was going over it, I would go with some sort of quarter-inch stock. I would use a lot of subfloor adhesive.
49:37🔗
Ty Pennington
But when you hit the walls, you just stop it and just leave the walls where they are?
49:41🔗
Adam
I would butt up against the walls. Yeah, I would probably pop the baseboard and probably just butt it to the walls and then put my flooring down and put the baseboard down.
49:52🔗
Adam
That just probably puts some caulking in all the things. It's got to be, whatever it is, it can't dry hard. It's got to be flexible.
50:01🔗
Ty Pennington
But even then, even then, there's no way to really save all the TNG because you'd have to leave whatever's underneath the walls there.
50:08🔗
Adam
Yeah, well, is there a question, how am I going to get the TNG out of there if I got to pull the TNG out?
50:14🔗
Ty Pennington
Well, I'll be honest with you, it's what I ran into at my house and I'm like...
50:20🔗
Ty Pennington
Well, no, I left the TNG but I went underneath the... To be honest with you, I was losing too much heat to the gaps in the tongue and groove but it was such an old house that I liked the style of the old hard-applied floors, man. So I left the TNG but went underneath and just insulated with like some, you know, R17 up in the choices in the 09 yards and just like insulated from down there.
50:48🔗
Ty Pennington
That's true. Dude, we just did that on a house and my God, that stuff's amazing, man.
50:52🔗
Adam
Do you ever see that stuff? You take this stuff, it's got, it's got, you know, it's got like a resin and a catalyst and it comes in and it meets and things. They spray it in a bay. It's like instead of putting insulation in a bay, they just go whoosh and they spray it and it comes out like you took a shaving cream thing and just ran it down the ball and then it starts going and filling it all the way up and it completely fills up the bay. It's like some kind of science fiction. It's James Bond.
51:15🔗
Adam
All right. That was a question. It was loose. Give me directions. I think I give myself a B plus. Yeah.
51:41🔗
Adam
Course thread bugle head screws, I'll use deckers to screw that down too, not just drywall screws. They're snappable.
51:54🔗
Hi.
51:57🔗
Yeah, I'm all right. About five foot brown hair, the usual.
52:07🔗
Adam
By the way, I'm about five foot and brown hair like that. That's like me going, are you good looking? I got teeth and a scrotum. Two nastrils, one brow, you know.
52:23🔗
Adam
I'm on a brow. Wow. You really know how to sell it, baby. Hold on. I got to go beat off at the altar. I'm hot.
52:31🔗
I got to be honest with you.
52:40🔗
Well, I did Robo-Testing recently and I had some weird side effects.
52:46🔗
Yes.
52:48🔗
A bottle.
52:51🔗
Yeah, just like the over-the-counter one.
52:56🔗
I just felt like I didn't really feel like myself afterwards for a while.
53:02🔗
And I was just wondering, like, do those side effects last a long time or?
53:06🔗
Drew
Usually they wear off, but there is concern about brain damage from high doses of the dextromethorphan.
53:12🔗
So don't use it anymore. I mean, I...
53:25🔗
Drew
Robo-Pagan. Renee, look, this is very dangerous. It's sort of a mix between methadone and PCP, in terms of how it affects.
53:34🔗
That's what I read on the Internet.
53:42🔗
Oh, really?
53:47🔗
Drew
Well, the PCP we really don't know that much about, but I've seen people use it on a PCP where they literally can't tie their shoes and things. And I've dealt with those same patients three years later, completely back to baseline. And so the PCP stuff seems to be reversible, but it's concerned the Robotussin, the dextromethorphan, may not be.
54:07🔗
Adam
Hey, listen, Renee, you're 21. This is the kind of stuff you do when you're 17 and your parents' friends are out of town, you know? You're out of Mickey's Big Mouth. This is- you should be getting to the end of your sort of- you should be boozing it now.
54:24🔗
I'm actually at work. I'm making some milkshakes right now.
54:36🔗
Well, I listen to you guys every night at work.
54:42🔗
Yeah.
54:42🔗
Adam
Oh, man. Listen, any time you deliver a shake to somebody, she's calling from- she's calling from DC or Washington State.
55:04🔗
Adam
Go enjoy Stoner. Just say that. Just say that. They'll start laughing like maniacs. Any guy who orders a shake- if the sun goes down for five hours after the sun goes down, they order a shake- you're stoned. That's a fake thing.
55:21🔗
Drew
I'm doing something with Good Morning American one morning where some new research has come out on-
55:27🔗
Drew
No, listen. We're moving on. On marijuana blocking agents, they've now done a bunch of research- of course, not in this country, because we can't touch that illicit drug, marijuana.
55:38🔗
Drew
With blocking the receptors that cause some of the effects of marijuana, and part of what marijuana makes you do is sort of eat emotionally, it makes you crave comfort food. You're thinking what you eat when you eat the munchies, you're talking carbohydrates and fat.
55:51🔗
Adam
Right, so you're saying that when you get stoned, it's not so much that you get the biological munchies, but you get the emotional munchies, like you're altered and you want something that feels good.
56:02🔗
Drew
Right, you need that comfort. There's evidence that perhaps the kind of eating you crave is the kind of satisfaction you get from mom, kind of thing. It's a nurturance kind of eating. And that gets blocked when you put these blocking agents. People don't want to eat and they also don't want to smoke and maybe they don't want to do opiates.
56:29🔗
Drew
No, they haven't. They've taken them, they're learning where marijuana operates. They've isolated the receptor where it operates. But operates as a part. They created recombinant DNA versions of the receptor. They've recreated the receptor.
56:46🔗
Drew
And they've taken the receptor and they've created a blocker for the receptor and they've given it to people to see what happens.
56:59🔗
Drew
Profoundly addictive. It's the response about one out of five patients I treat for marijuana. It's very common. Yeah, it's really seriously addictive for some people. It's not addictive for everybody, but when it's addictive, it's profoundly addictive.
57:27🔗
Drew
And you know, oh yeah, it's good times. But you know what? I pitched to go to America, I said, let's talk about the politics of this. It's so ridiculous. We can't do research on pot in this country. It makes me nuts. No, no, no. We can't politicize this. So people won't understand it. It's not our... We can't quite get their head around those issues.
57:49🔗
Adam
Really? News people turn into just colossal pussies overnight or what's going on with those people?
57:58🔗
Adam
I know. What is this whole part where you're just going to, well, we don't want to upset anyone. They may change the channel. So we'll just keep shouting the temperature at them.
58:14🔗
Adam
People are freaking out. I know. I understand the news. It's like, it's just sort of Schwarzenegger out and blah, blah. It's just a bunch of-
58:22🔗
Drew
It depends on the channel. It depends on that. Because I've been working with these guys a while now. Like CNN lets you talk. And Table Journal lets you talk a little more.
58:46🔗
Adam
They start at 3.30 or 4 in the morning. Because you're doing, you're doing Good Morning Flagstaff.
58:55🔗
Adam
You're doing Good Morning Miami and you're working your way back west. And eventually at 8.30 in the morning, you'll be doing Good Morning Flagstaff. But by the time you're doing Good Morning Flagstaff, you've had five hours of talking to a-holes in small markets.
59:13🔗
Adam
Yeah. And they got that crew. It's the older, slightly more distinguished gentleman in the saccharine suite, a young chick who's had a little too much collagen. And she's like, wait, it's unnerving because she's so perky and it's 7.45, you know, and you're hung over. And they asked, they said, how do you describe your relationship? And I said, well, we like to say this. And it used to be this analogy, it was the only good analogy I've ever had about the show which was Loveline, the TV show, which is you want your dog to take a, you want your dog to take an antibody. You know, the vet gives you a dog, it's like a warm pill for your dog. Now you hand the dog the pill and the dog spits it out. So you take the pill and you smash it in some Gainsburger and the dog devours the pill. Well, I said, I'm the, Drew's the pill and I'm the Gainsburger. That's basically the show.
1:00:09🔗
Adam
And everyone sort of understood it. Well, this chick was like, she was scared I was going to swear or say something naughty or say like, you know, cornhole or something. And, you know, good morning Flagstaff at 745. So she goes, describe the show. And I said, well, it's like this. You got your dog. You got your dog. I can be her? You got your dog.
1:00:44🔗
Adam
At this point, I said, screw it. I just literally just said, no, no, that's great, because I'm not talking, I'm not talking. And she and Drew jumped in because he's like a wet nurse to the world. And he jumped in. He's like, no, no, no, Connie. And I said, hey, Drew, no, you shut up, let's just go. We're done. Let's go. That's the only that I just stopped in the middle of the interview and said, forget it. You're a Flagstaff. I don't know. I know anyone who lives in Flagstaff. No, you forget it. I love Hitler. That's it. We're done. That's my final statement. Let's go. Let's next. Who's next? Yeah.
1:01:29🔗
Adam
Yeah, really? Okay, she has. Jenny? Hi. No, wait a minute. There's a question for Ty here. Mitchell? You're 18? Yeah. You got a question for Ty?
1:01:41🔗
Caller
Yeah, I was just wondering what the best way to get on the show was. Because I know there's a lot of people wanting to get on there.
1:01:51🔗
Ty Pennington
Well, I mean, the key to that is, like, you really either need to know somebody or have a family that, you know, has a pretty deserving need to have a new house. Most of the families we've done have, like, you know, we had a kid with cancer. We had a dad who was in Iraq. We've got, I mean...
1:02:07🔗
Drew
So Mitchell, make all those things up and you can do the show. That's what Ty's telling you.
1:02:11🔗
Ty Pennington
It's a video application, but usually it's, you know, just gonna have to be kind of a big deal, like...
1:02:16🔗
Ty Pennington
Yeah. You've either got to have, like, you know, you want to adopt a kid, you need some room, that kind of a thing. You know, run with it.
1:02:42🔗
Adam
Number two. Yeah. You're an Aleutius. Number two. Cross burning on the lawn, vandalized, neo-Nazis, you know what I mean?
1:02:53🔗
Adam
Home vandalized. That's nice. By hate, by hatred, hate crime, victim of a hate crime. Yes?
1:03:06🔗
Adam
Daughter. Earthquake. Earthquake. Earthquake. Locus. Locus. Biblical proportionality. Locus. No, I'm just saying, hate crime. That's wrong because, you know, yeah, yeah, you can do the day in a smile, the kid's got cancer, the dad's in Iraq kind of thing, but I think the hate crime would really galvanize.
1:03:24🔗
Adam
It would really galvanize the nation. And at the end, the neighbors line the street of all colors, all ethnicities, all creeds, all religions, just standing and cheering as the family returns.
1:03:37🔗
Adam
Holding hands and rocking them. Encircling the globe. All right, Mitchell, you're just some guy from Fullerton, right? You don't even have a house, do you?
1:04:12🔗
Caller
Well, I'm getting the down payment as a loan from a family member, but the rest is up to me as far as the payment.
1:04:19🔗
Adam
No, no, he went, here's what happened. He got the money, lent to him for the down payment.
1:04:28🔗
Caller
To pay the mortgage, basically, I'm just renting out the rooms. You rent out the rooms, I'm getting too much money.
1:04:35🔗
Adam
Smart. Good. Your family's giving you a leg up. Who's lending you the money? My dad. I'm going to kick my dad in the nuts next time I see him.
1:04:45🔗
Adam
This is what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to lend your kid a few bucks, he goes in, he gets a roommate, they rent the room out, they do a little sweat equity.
1:04:51🔗
Ty Pennington
When you're 18 with your parents, I mean, I'm just saying, I'm not sure, you know, here's some money, go get a house, Ty. Call us.
1:04:59🔗
Adam
When I was 18, my stepmother, I'm convinced, had this conversation with my dad, we've got to get Adam out of the garage and out into his own apartment, and I'm convinced my dad's response was, who's Adam?
1:05:17🔗
Drew
No, but Adam, you're kidding me. When you think about it, it's going to be much more of a discussion about as though they were trying to get rid of or exterminate some sort of vermin. Like, we've got the rant in the back, how do we get it out?
1:05:48🔗
Drew
Let's try to freeze them out and lock them out of the house so if he has to move his bowels or pee.
1:05:55🔗
There you go. Fantastic.
1:05:57🔗
Adam
Yeah. A couple more months of carpet cleaning. He'll have enough to get that down one bedroom in North Hollywood with his buddy the Wheeze. Fantastic. The Wheeze. The Wheeze.
1:06:07🔗
Drew
I ran into somebody today who knew you guys in high school and there's some, call yourself the Circle Jerks?
1:06:14🔗
Is that true?
1:06:20🔗
Well, that's how you know it's not true.
1:06:33🔗
Caller
I have been dating the same guy for about a year and a half and after our first month of having sex, my sex drive kind of withered away and I can rarely get aroused, have no sex drive.
1:06:56🔗
Caller
I thought that could have been the reason. However, I've been off of birth control for about four months and it hasn't changed anything.
1:07:03🔗
Drew
What birth control was it you were taking? Is there anything else happening? Did you get depressed? Were you taking depression medication?
1:07:12🔗
Caller
It's been about a year that this has been going on. My theory is that I was sexually active since I was 16 and my boyfriend at the time, we were kind of getting close to having sex and he told me he was a virgin. And I kind of went through this whole phase of resentment of my past and that kind of thing and it's better now.
1:07:33🔗
Drew
No, Jenny, the kinds of things that can alter your biological function, the motivational priorities of your brain have to be very deeply ingrained in your system and so they would be early traumas.
1:07:45🔗
Adam
Here's how we know it's wrong because you're one of the callers to this show and you started the sentence with my theory and that's how we know it's unequivocally wrong because no one has ever said my theory and had us both go, you may be on to something.

Drew
Not on this show. All right. So that's where you have to sort of fill us in on your history here. Is there something that happened at the age of age?
1:08:13🔗
Caller
No, I've been completely raised, you know, families together, great loving parents, no trauma, no drugs, no...
1:08:24🔗
Caller
No, not adopted. My boyfriend thinks that I'm not attracted to him anymore, but that's definitely not the case. He's great.
1:08:45🔗
Drew
That also means dad's kind of an a-hole. We got to hear more about dad. So let's hear more. Come on, come on.
1:09:08🔗
Caller
My dad is a owner of like a sales rep firm for like digital tape stuff for recording.
1:09:23🔗
Adam
And he treated you well? Does he like your boyfriend? Here's what we're, here's the deal. You've been with your boyfriend for how long? No, because she lost it a year ago. About a year and a half. So you were 19 and changed when you met him? This thing just may be coasting to a stop. Or maybe it's been coasting for quite some time now.
1:09:56🔗
Drew
He's the guy you're supposed to be in love with. But your body is telling you something different. What I'm getting at is why...
1:10:04🔗
Drew
I know. But what I'm getting at though is if you want to sort of examine the wherefore and why on all this, what is it that you are actually attracted and excited about in a man?
1:10:27🔗
Drew
You still do. You try to force yourself to like guys that are nice that you should like and you kind of do, but you're not attracted, you're not passionate about the nice guys.
1:10:38🔗
Drew
And it's possible you're right in that sweet spot, age 21, 18 to 22. A lot of girls can't get that out of their system. And they eventually do. They get it out of their system, but not right in the middle of that whole phase. It's not the right time for this guy.
1:10:56🔗
Adam
That gets it out. You know the song, The Leader of the Pack? I'm going back to Jay and saying, I was listening to it the other day. There's a line in A Leader Pack, you know where she met Leader Pack? She met him in the candy store. What the hell is that biker hanging out in the candy store for?
1:11:11🔗
Looking for children.
1:11:14🔗
Adam
She fell for The Leader of the Pack when she met him in a candy store. What the hell is he doing there?
1:11:25🔗
Adam
That's what happened. Just listen to The Leader of the Pack. What's he hanging out at the candy store for?
1:11:40🔗
Adam
It just doesn't add up. Jenny? Alright, you're not done with your bad boy stuff yet? You wish you weren't? Tell that to your vagina.
1:11:53🔗
Drew
If you are, if you are done with it, then it makes me, if you sort of intellectually feel like you're done with it, but can't get it out of your system, makes me wonder about your relationship with your dad then. Because if you get stuck in that sort of need to be attracted bad boy, even though every thread in your instinct says no, that's where we're going to begin with. Maybe there is something more there.
1:12:13🔗
Adam
Who cares? Ty Pennington is about to leave the building because I spoke to him. I'm going to go to the candy store. He's got to go to the candy store. He's got to meet the chick who was formally looking for the leader of the pack. No, it's got a big day tomorrow. What do you got to do tomorrow?
1:12:36🔗
Adam
It's crazy, dude. They work like 24 hours. Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. Ty, a delight?
1:12:44🔗
Adam
You're going to be hearing my name about seven and a half to nine months from now. When they're trying to get your price down. It'll be, here's what'll be great. Corolla's really interested in it. And then I'll run into Ty and he'll say, hey, I found out you're interested. And I'll say, they never even talked to me about it. That's the beauty of it. Ty Pennington, everybody. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
1:13:17🔗
Adam
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Ty Pennington has left the building. Catch him on Extreme Makeover. Home Edition. That is ABC, Sunday nights, eight o'clock. Very heartwarming show. It gives you hope. It gives you hope.
1:13:41🔗
Adam
Yeah, not me. Let me tell you something about me, too. And every time someone redoes a house, they give these stories. You see these beer commercials, neighbor comes by, buddy comes by, hey, you bought a six pack, we're putting a roof on. I've done three houses. Yeah. Let me tell you, how much time has been put in on those houses for people who haven't been paid? You know, volunteer, friends, family. It's not been so much as a scrap of two by four kicked by mistake that I haven't paid for over there. Just a big, fat zero. I was just thinking about that today. Not that anyone needs to, but I just thought about, you know, whenever.
1:14:29🔗
Drew
But on the other hand, I think of all the times that people have offered you a six pack to come build a deck for them.
1:14:34🔗
Adam
Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's great. As if I can't buy beer. It's like, here you come over Saturday, we're doing a deck, there'll be a sixer, I'll buy a six pack. Oh, a six pack? Where do you find a six? How about, how about this? How about I just spend my own $3.75 and-
1:15:01🔗
Adam
Oh, somehow pizza and beers become some sort of currency. Currency, unit of exchange, yeah. Like we're trading Indians. Give us the beads, we'll give you some blankets. Yeah, oh yeah, oh no, sure.
1:15:24🔗
Hey guys.
1:15:26🔗
Not much, I just want to say, Adam, one of us needs to get in charge. Push and yank, my friend.
1:15:32🔗
Okay, my first stumper is, if you have a house, it's steel frame.
1:15:43🔗
Right, if you got a beam that's tube iron and you got some angle iron coming off it.
1:15:46🔗
Adam
All right, now first off, let me just stop you for one moment and explain that steel construction is not really falling to the heading of carpentry. But I will accept it anyway, go ahead.
1:15:59🔗
Well, if you want me to skip it, I can.
1:16:05🔗
Well, this is kind of a cheap question, but when you're attaching your roof on, what do you got to watch out for?
1:16:14🔗
When you're drilling your holes down into it.
1:16:19🔗
Down into the steel frame.
1:16:22🔗
Well, yeah.
1:16:33🔗
No, I'm not high right now.
1:16:42🔗
All right.
1:16:42🔗
Adam
I don't know what you got to look out for. It's not really a very well-formed question. What should one look out for? It's like, look, if this was a driver's test, when you're on an interstate and you're going 60 miles an hour, what should you be looking out for? A deer? Wrong. You're in a coastal community. I don't know where I am.
1:17:03🔗
Yeah, yeah. All right.
1:17:04🔗
Idiots.
1:17:08🔗
Okay.
1:17:10🔗
Go ahead. Sorry about that. I was just saying that you want to watch out for the tube iron because if you drill into it, there's no way you can attach your nut on the other side. Let's see. My next one. In wiring of the house, are you in wiring a lot?
1:17:34🔗
So when you're doing it, why is it that all the wiring is in parallel instead of series?
1:17:44🔗
Instead of all the plugs being right in a row of the circuit, why is it that they go off on little tangents?
1:17:52🔗
Adam
I don't know what this question is. In parallel to the circuit, why do they go off on tangents?
1:18:19🔗
Adam
Okay, just listen, phone screener Brian. We've gone down this hellish, this toboggan ride to hell at least a thousand times since I've been here. Where I've said somebody call with a carpentry question and make it a carpentry question. Not plumbing, not electrical, carpentry. And the screener always says the same thing. Wants to stump you with his knowledge of carpentry. It's never that. It's a weird electrical, the circuits are going off on a tangent. What the hell is he talking about? All right, I don't know what he's talking about. Let's cut our losses and move forward.
1:18:59🔗
Drew
No, we've actually, even when you ask for the car questions, they get kind of weird and oblique.
1:19:13🔗
Caller
Okay, I've heard that it's possible that if you're abused when you're a child to forget it when you get older.
1:19:20🔗
Drew
Yeah, it's possible, but you would see evidence of it in your relationships and you tend to dissociate and have symptomatology that suggests that kind of thing happen. To just merely speculate, oh, I think something happened to me, I've repressed the memory, that's pretty dangerous territory.
1:19:36🔗
Caller
Well, I was wondering if you were able, like through therapy or hypnosis, to like remember that.
1:19:43🔗
Drew
Maybe, don't worry about hypnosis, if it's going to come, it would come out in therapy. But I think that's generally considered sort of a fruitless path to go down. Here's the deal, that traumas in childhood leave behind imprints on your brain, things called implicit memories, imprints in terms of how your brain functions and deals with feelings in the present. What therapy is about is getting, first of all, creating narratives about the trauma that makes sense to you, so you can understand it and make sense of it and incorporate it into your sort of history, and secondly, to learn to have feelings without falling back upon the old style of managing those feelings, the style that is remnant of the traumatic past. Yes.
1:20:26🔗
Adam
It's good times. And by the way, Ty Pennington, the quiz, the stumpers, whatever the questions. Come on.
1:20:37🔗
Adam
Who's the real sheriff in town here? Police. How dare all of you? Police. How dare all of you?
1:20:48🔗
Caller
Hey, guys. I love the show. I have a quick question. Every time I have sex, I bleed, like it's bad. I've already been to the doctor. She gave me a cryosurgery or something.
1:21:11🔗
Caller
Yeah, that's what she said. But she said it might help to make the cervix, I guess it has to have a better texture. It seemed like it was pretty sensitive.
1:21:29🔗
Caller
Yeah, we're trying to rule stuff out, I guess. My boyfriend, he's pretty big. But we've been together for a long time. It never happened before. The only thing I can think of is like we broke up for like a year and I was involved with other people.
1:21:49🔗
Drew
Because it can make an unstable endometrium and the lining of the uterus and sex can sort of destabilize that further or cause it to bleed. It's very common for people to bleed after sex and the birth control pill can sort of cause a proliferation of the lining and destabilize it, as I said.
1:22:06🔗
Drew
No, that's just one of the, you're just having a side effect of the pill. Maybe you could try changing the type of pill, that kind of thing that might stabilize things more.
1:22:14🔗
Adam
Oh man, her boyfriend. You know, it's always nice when you, that's what's great. You know what's great? What's great is, is if you have a big dork as a guy and your girlfriend has some vaginal problems because almost every woman eventually is going to have some sort of, there's, this thing, by the way, downstairs, it's-
1:22:33🔗
Adam
The vagina, it's like part Steinway, part Stradivarius, part, like, Stony Hens, British. It's wired like an MG from the 50s. You know what I mean? I mean, it's just a cacophony of junk going on down there. Any number of things could go wrong. And will. And will at any time. And that's normal and natural. And if you're the boyfriend with the huge dork, that's always going to get woven into every conversation. It's going to be, yes, thank you, like, they're going to meet their doctor and they're going to be like, well, and you know, the woman, the doctor will never bring it up. The girlfriend's going to go, my boyfriend is rather big. And they're going to go, no, no, that has nothing to do with it. But still, it's going to get woven in. You know what I mean?
1:23:18🔗
Drew
Yes, yes, that's good. And the boys, actually, the man will sort of feel on a primitive level like he's doing something, right? Creating this with his large phallus.
1:23:26🔗
All right.
1:23:33🔗
Jeremy.
1:23:52🔗
Adam
All right. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll speak to Steve. Steve can't get it up when having sex with girlfriend half the time. Needs Vagra. 122 minutes, everybody.
1:24:08🔗
Adam
Good times. It's more like four, but we should make our listeners think we have shorter breaks.
1:24:15🔗
Adam
Chris says yes. The $8 and hammer man's got an ID over there, everybody. All right. Hey, how about a freshen up on the coffee? Why are you coming up with those ideas? We'll take a quick break. We'll be Chris says quick. A lightning fast break, he says, and we'll be right back.
1:24:32🔗
Loveline. We'll be right back.
1:25:02🔗
Adam
Hey, genius, you're trying to call us so late in the goddamn show. Nice. Abuse him, Brian. Pay him back for all that poon tang you missed out on in high school. Yes, sir?
1:25:16🔗
That's your move there, Adam.
1:25:22🔗
I enjoyed the butt talk during the commercial. That's what I was yawning about.
1:25:42🔗
Caller
All right, sometimes, well, a lot of the time when me and my girlfriend are about to have sex, my friend out there doesn't want to get up. I was wondering what could be the cause of that and what could I do to change that?
1:25:56🔗
Adam
By the way, this is, you know, Steve, 17, not a virgin. I mean, you can just hear as I, he's been at this for a while.
1:26:05🔗
Adam
He's shot 40 porn films in the 70s. Killed a man in Reno to watch him die. Okay, what about it, Drew? At 17, and by the way, well, hey, we know it's not a bogus call because he's been on hold for 128 minutes, but at 17, this isn't supposed to happen.
1:26:44🔗
Caller
Uh, yeah, kind of. Like, at first it was like no problem, but like sometimes I'd be like all ready to go, but my friend don't want to go.
1:27:28🔗
Drew
Yeah, well, there's... Depression. Yeah, there's what's going on. If we can hear it in your laugh, the marijuana addiction, we know when people are smoking.
1:27:42🔗
Adam
He's still in the ninth grade. He's still in the ninth grade. He's still in the ninth grade.
1:28:17🔗
Adam
You're 26. I've been dying for a good carpentry question. I thought this Ty Pennington was going to pose some sort of carpentry challenge to me, but as it turns out, no.
1:28:28🔗
Caller
Well, I'm a novice. I don't think I can do much better, but I'll try. Okay, I got this closet kit from Home Depot pretty much, and the doors are hollow inside, and they're too tall, the ends are too tall. I cut the top off to trim it down, and I'm into the hollow end, so how do I hang it?
1:28:44🔗
Adam
All right, these are called hollow core doors as opposed to solid core doors. They have either skin with probably masonite on the outside. Is it smooth like that?
1:29:07🔗
Adam
Okay, so here's what happens. Hollow core door has either got luan or masonite on the outside, just a quarter inch or maybe even an eighth of an inch. And then it just has a quarter inch. I bet it's not a full quarter.
1:29:22🔗
Adam
It goes all the way around. It's got a rim around it. But if you cut that, you're in the hollow now. You got to rip yourself. It's an inch and three eighths door. It's an interior door. It's inch and three eighths. You're going to have to rip yourself a piece at approximately an inch. And glue it up and slide it back into that and clamp it up. And essentially put back the piece you ripped off.
1:29:52🔗
Adam
No. It's going to be glued and stapled. It's going to be a mess. Plus, it's a finger-jointed material. It's going to break apart. It's a cheap door. Just rip yourself a piece of pine like an inch, glue it up, put it in there, clamp it, leave it a little bit fat. You want to let it hang out just a little bit, just a little bit, sixteenth of an inch, and you just take a block sander to it and do it. You don't want it in. You want it out, if anything. Just give yourself a little surface, take a little block sander and square it out.
1:30:29🔗
Adam
You're going to create a lip that could be peeled off, caught off. I would rather have it out just a little bit. Don't argue with me, Drew.
1:30:40🔗
Adam
Leave it out just to smirk ass hair over a 16th and then just take a nice block and sand it down flush so that the block will cover the edge of the door, the masonite and the thing and square it off. All right? All right, buddy. I've done this many times. You got to restuff. But the hollow core door, nothing's cheaper than a hollow core door. The solid core ones are filled with like chips and like powder. You cut into them, it's just powder everywhere. Weird. Yeah, fire ratings.
1:31:22🔗
Adam
Oh, well, they're metal solid core doors. They're skin, yeah. Well, maybe they're not selling. The burn has to do with burn ratings. Commercial buildings.
1:31:31🔗
Adam
It's about pneumatic closers and solid cores are about fire. They've got to close and stop the fire from spreading. Alex? You're 18, baby doll. What's up?
1:31:43🔗
Caller
Oh, not much. I don't know why, but I don't trust the good-looking, charismatic guys. I wasn't being mean to them when they come on to me.
1:32:09🔗
All right. So you want to put a hardwood floor in, say, a kitchen, but there's a volume in there right now. Would you want to just peel the linoleum off and nail the floor right down?
1:32:21🔗
No, subfloor.
1:32:23🔗
Adam
You got a subfloor? I would probably just go over the linoleum. I wouldn't fight it. Why not? It doesn't matter. It's no big deal. You'll kill yourself trying to get that stuff off.
1:32:35🔗
Six to eight months later, your floor will start gapping and squeaking.
1:32:44🔗
Yeah.
1:32:53🔗
Okay. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
1:32:57🔗
Ty Pennington
Alright guys, here's the deal. You're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
1:33:02🔗
One call is all you need to make.
1:33:03🔗
Call the Dateline.
1:33:43🔗
Adam
Yeah, well there's Shower, buddy. I want to thank Ty Pennington for coming in here tonight. You can watch him on Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. Good show. I really do enjoy it. Sunday nights, eight o'clock, ABC. Drew, watch the show, it's uplifting.
1:34:06🔗
Adam
It is, it's good. All right, so until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo. What do you got? You got a tool? Stump me with a tool.
