5:18🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, Alanis Morissette is in the studio tonight. Good to see you again.
5:34🔗AdamI'm going out on tour with the Bare Naked Ladies, by the way, which is, I don't think I've ever seen the Bare Naked Ladies live, but I do have a concert CD of theirs, and they're very good.
6:03🔗AdamAnd then we'll go on to They Might Be Giants, and then we'll get to Alanis Morissette. But, like the Bare Naked Ladies, I talk to people about the Bare Naked Ladies. I go, I love those Bare Naked Ladies. They're great guys, they're great musicians, they're a great band, and people are like, yeah, they sing that one song with the, and it's like, I'm always like, no, no, that's not their good song. They got a bunch of good songs. That's kind of their commercially almost crappy song that you're, that's the only way, your only knowledge of the band is through that one song that doesn't represent the band, which must, hasn't seemed to have happened in your career, but it does happen in a lot of careers.
6:40🔗Alanis MorissetteWell, whenever one song is trying to represent a group of people or one artist, I think it's an impossibility, so.
6:45🔗AdamYeah, but once in a while you get a chumbawamba, which is probably, the song was better than the band.
6:51🔗DrewYeah, and it represented everything about the band.
7:18🔗Alanis MorissetteYou guys are really cute to watch.
7:20🔗DrewWe promised Stryker we would see your cute Adam. It was good.
7:22🔗Alanis MorissetteI mean, he was just really fun.
7:24🔗AdamI was just skipping rope like a madman, so I'm going to stop sweating it. So I'm going to mop my brow.
7:29🔗DrewWe promised Stryker we'd play it in the first few minutes so he could hear it driving home.
7:34🔗Alanis MorissetteRight. Shout out to Stryker.
7:35🔗AdamAll right, so Alanis Morissette, first song we're going to play. You cute up there? Yeah, it's called Eight Easy Steps. Yes? Comments? Is that fair? Is that fair assessment of your life?
10:53🔗Alanis MorissetteI just feel like over the last few years, especially, I'm just accepting more parts of myself, so there's not this struggle to not be something. I can be stupid and incredibly smart. I can be vulnerable and empowered and everything, so there's no real struggle against any part.
11:08🔗AdamWhat is different about you now than six or seven years ago, let's say?
11:13🔗Alanis MorissetteI'm more comfortable with fame now. I had this inner conflict with fame all the time. I always felt like I was wrong somehow for being famous, and yet at the same time, my ego craved it.
12:04🔗AdamAsk my loser dad with his Lexus, at least. Inform me. Inform me the lease was coming up, and he's looking to move into a Jag the other day.
12:13🔗Alanis MorissetteAnd are you going to go with that?
12:14🔗AdamYes. But what he doesn't know is he's getting a little one, which is really the price of like a Ford Taurus. But he doesn't know anything about cars, and thank Christ he doesn't listen to the radio show. That's the point. Don't tell him. Don't anyone tell him. Katie? Katie?
12:36🔗CallerWell, I just had a few questions. When I was younger, probably about 12 or 13, I noticed that my grandfather was like a little too close to me, and it freaked me out really bad. And I've always... Well, he used to just... when he hugged me, it was always when nobody else was in the room. And he'd put his hand on my skin, on my back, but he'd never touch anything, like he'd never touch my breast or anything like that. But he'd tell me, you know, I felt so good and that I had a really nice body and just stuff that you wouldn't really want your grandpa to say to you.
13:22🔗AdamIt's not destructive. But there's ways to say you have a really nice body that aren't creepy. You know what I mean? But you can't say it that way. No, I'm just... I'm asking you. Hold on a second. We need to talk. Is there something going on here? Because she's almost calling her grandfather a molester, but yet so far all we get is a hug and then you have a nice body. Creepy is creepy, but I'm wondering...
13:50🔗DrewI think she's just curious. I don't think she's screwed up by it.
13:56🔗CallerWell, I just don't know. I've always kind of wondered if it was something that I should have been uncomfortable about or if I was just kind of taking it like the wrong way. And I guess...
14:07🔗DrewI think the way you took it is fine. It sounds a little bit creepy, a little bit of a boundary violation, but it's not destructive. It's not something that has to trouble you the rest of your life.
14:17🔗AdamWell, is he good? How is he overall, beside the hugging part?
14:25🔗DrewHow are you overall? Were there other problems with other men that maybe have sort of sensitized you?
14:31🔗CallerIt took me a while to get close to anybody, but I don't know if that's why or not. I mean, to have any type of physical relationship with anybody, like if a guy started to make a move on me, I'd freak out. But now I'm okay with it.
14:45🔗DrewI'm just wondering if something else happened that made you super sensitive to your grandfather.
15:03🔗AdamHe's a good guy. He loved you and didn't really do anything. It was more of a feeling. And I understand that can mean something sometimes, but he never really did anything, did he?
15:15🔗AdamAll right, so let it go. You're torturing yourself with it.
15:18🔗DrewForget how you think about him. You're taking it out on yourself.
15:21🔗AdamOr just include society. You might as well just make everyone into this, right? Every camp counselor, every gym coach, everybody. I don't know what's up. Something's up with you, right?
15:33🔗CallerI don't know. I just felt really weird. And then like every time that we were alone together, it was the only time that he would act like that. And then I was always afraid to be along with him and, but it never went further than that. So I can't, you know.
15:49🔗DrewI don't know. Let it go. Deep cleansing breath.
17:47🔗CallerYes. And since I've been back, I just, for about the first few weeks, we were having sex once or twice, once or twice a day, and since then, it's pretty much died off.
18:06🔗DrewAnd can we rephrase that and say it's sort of gone back to normal?
19:05🔗AdamWell, I mean, I'm just talking Palestine and the Jews and Lebanon and Syria, those kids, the great group, the great... You can't judge, they're great people. And they just got to bang out. They're just dotting the I's and crossing the T's. Just by this, maybe Tuesday, Tuesday latest. So when they ship Leo back, it's going to be nothing. They're probably working on a date farm or something, just kind of chilling, smoking out of a hookah pipe, hearing distant sitar music.
19:34🔗DrewSo Leo's got a pyramid. What else? A problem where his wife is feeling close to him and it's breaking her out. She wants to protect herself from those feelings of closeness. And she's going to punish him in the meantime.
20:23🔗Alanis MorissetteWas it a unilateral decision? This whole, when you were about to leave, did you both sit down and talk about it and go through all of the-
20:33🔗CallerWell, we had got together pretty much as I was joining the army and that was just before the war started and I wasn't expecting to be gone as much as I am.
20:46🔗AdamRight. And there's a whole lot of people over there, I'm sure, who figured, you know, I'm going to sign up, I'm going to learn a skill, I'm going to get a little money toward college and all of a sudden they're in Iraq and it's like, what the F? What's going on? I thought I was going to be Mississippi. Right.
21:03🔗CallerWell, I mean, I was a faithful husband.
21:31🔗AdamYeah. And by the way, I was thinking about this in the past, you got a nice German gal. You know what I mean? You're over there. You're in France. You know, hey, baby, daddy's home. Bring the roses. Now you're in Iraq. What do you got? I mean, you know what I'm saying? I mean, you got a sheet hanging. You don't know what's going on. I mean, really, I mean, think about how much these guys were getting laid. Like in France, they just, wait, we live, hey, D-Day, hey, Liberated, hey, come and get it, ladies. I'm here. Come out of hiding. Come on up. Bring in the dinner bell. Now you're in Iraq. You're going to be, you think like 20 years from now, we have like a lot of Iraqi wives running around here and like Iraqi half kids and, oh, military, you know what I'm saying?
22:14🔗CallerNot going to happen. Most of the women there, like the, the Iraq women, they would look at us and like smile at us.
22:47🔗Alanis MorissetteMy thought would be just to validate her, you know, her fear of you leaving again and any issues that came up while you were gone. And slowly but surely, I think if you just listen to her and validate her and vice versa, I think you can get back on track if there's some track to get back to at all.
23:04🔗AdamWell, and get out of the mode of begging for sex or manipulating for sex, like all guys who want sex from their partners, stop the sex angle. You got to work the listening angle.
23:47🔗AdamYou're storing your tension. You're storing your tension. You're storing it in your neck. Oh, you're storing it in your neck. My gosh. I thought I had a hard job at being a doctor and doing the radio. No harder job than housewife and mother.
24:20🔗DrewWell, here's the point of the problem with guys. We want to fix everything. So you start complaining. We're like, well, what are we going to do about that? Now you're angry. Now you're angry. You're like, hey, whoa, I didn't ask for a solution. I just wanted you to listen. Right.
24:30🔗AdamAnd then that's it. So guys have two modes. When the lady comes home and she's had a tough day and she's talking about work and she's like that Tammy in the other cubicle, she always looks, she gives me the stink eye and she's jealous because she's fat. And it's like, oh, OK, we got to rig her car. We got to cut her brake lines. What do you know where she lives?
24:54🔗AdamSo so guys have that most guys have. We've got to go get Tammy, that's like number one mode and the other's like, uh-huh, uh-huh. A race? What?
25:06🔗Alanis MorissetteAnd neither of them work, right?
25:07🔗AdamYeah, neither one work. No, what they want is, oh my God, that must make you feel horrible and how do you feel?
26:02🔗DrewSeriously, why would a guy light a candle?
26:04🔗AdamA guy would light a candle if he broke wind. That's it. Or to get some, yeah, something happened. A friend vomited in a potted plant or something.
26:33🔗CallerYeesh. Uh-huh. First of all, thank you guys for everything you do. I'm sure you've helped so many people.
26:41🔗AdamProbably a lot of the people you go see at work.
26:43🔗CallerThat's right. Well, first I wanted to ask Dr. Drew. I've been reading his book, Crack, just about halfway through it. And I had a question about, in the beginning, he said all of his patients have in common is that they've experienced trauma early in their life.
27:02🔗DrewYeah. And maybe we didn't specify that clearly enough in the book. It's every single one of my inpatients. And it's not the case that only you have to have trauma in order to develop addiction. But if your addiction is serious enough that it needs an in-hospital treatment, in my experience, all of those patients have trauma histories.
27:24🔗CallerBecause I have a brother who's an addict and we're just trying to figure him out. And I can't think of any trauma he's had as a child.
27:32🔗DrewWell, you've got to remember it's not just the environment, but the experience of the environment that is key. And so while to those of you around him, he may have seen like there had been any trauma, but to him there may have been. So you've got to question him about that if he's ready to talk about it.
27:49🔗AdamWell, and also trauma doesn't need to be overt sort of movie, the weak trauma, you know, priest molest him or something. Right. It can just be simple stuff.
28:24🔗AdamI drive through, I drive through a bad neighborhood. I want to kill myself. I couldn't imagine going to prison.
28:28🔗DrewBut what's the, is it Seroquel, Respiradol, Zofrexone?
28:32🔗CallerNot everybody's on psych meds there. There's a lot of Motrin, just for people, vaccines. But we do have a mental health unit where it's a lot of Respiradol, Depakote, Seroquel, stuff like that.
28:43🔗AdamIs it, uh, are you, so people are just awaiting trial?
28:47🔗AdamMost, what are most people in there for?
28:51🔗CallerUm, drug-related, gang-related, a lot of gang-related items. Um, the females, mostly for fraud or drug-related. I don't really get too much into it. Then I, I kind of change as a person, you know, as a nurse, I see him maybe in a bad way and might not give him the same care, you know? So I try not to figure out what...
29:12🔗AdamYeah, you don't want to find out that the guy, uh, stabbed his, uh, retarded twins. You'd rather just think he's in there because he had a pot plant. Right. Yeah. Because otherwise...
29:23🔗Alanis MorissetteIt's a little easier to give mind off to that person.
29:26🔗AdamYeah, that's right. They got a little cramps. Period in the joint. Do you know what I mean?
29:33🔗AdamThey must all sync up. Yeah, because if women who work together, if their periods will sync up, then imagine spending, you know, 24-7 for 30 years. It's one big, one big period.
30:10🔗AdamLet me, yes. Alanis Morissette is here. We're going to get the show back on track, so called Chaos, name of the CD, going to be on Conan O'Brien in Good Morning America, June 23rd. When's Conan then? Is that June? The same day?
30:31🔗AdamAll right. Well, that's a great, oh, well, it doesn't really tape that late. You can make it. It's cool. Yeah. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. Loveline. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Alanis Morissette is in studio tonight. Now, let me say this about Alanis. Now, sometimes people call you Alanis, right?
31:13🔗Alanis MorissetteSometimes. It's an American thing, I think.
31:31🔗AdamIt's good. Okay, there you go. I, you know, I don't like it when, you know, your dad insists on changing Bin Laden to Bin Laden and that kind of stuff. Like, look, well, whatever it is, that's all. That's what it is. It's, however it's pronounced, that's the way we're gonna pronounce it.
31:49🔗Alanis MorissetteWe have to ask, I guess, the actual person how they want it.
31:58🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, that's what I'm going with. That's all I can say about that. Let's go back to the phones and speak to, oh, oh, I wanted to kiss Alanis's, no, Alanis's. Now I'm screwed up, Ben Laden. Aladdin.
32:17🔗CallerI say, Ben Laden. Ben Laden. Ben Laden. Ben Laden.
32:21🔗AdamLet's call the whole thing off. That's a good song. All right, but let me say this. You know, okay, you see some, some performers are a little angry, but they get their edge. I mean, they're like, they're like a prize fighters. You know, they're a little hungry because they're on the streets. Fierce. And then they get, they get a nice, they get a nice pad and they get a comfortable life. And then all of a sudden they're not so tough anymore. They don't, they don't work as hard. They don't train as hard. And then they start losing.
33:09🔗DrewEspecially leaning back here in the dawning tonight, you can tell he's bursting out of it.
33:13🔗AdamHe could overwhelm you with his passion. Yeah. He could flood this room with his passion. No, he really is. Some people, and I don't know how it works, seem to just have a little more passion. Right.
33:49🔗AdamWell, you show up, so there's gotta be something. And I do get fired up about stuff that doesn't seem to matter to other people, but I wouldn't call myself a passionate man where Drew is brimming with passion. He drips and it was his passion. Yes, thank God he's wearing absorbent socks. Otherwise, passion would run right into his loafer. That's right. Jessica?
35:21🔗DrewYeah, Jessica, they can change with years of therapy. But if somebody's not doing work, they ain't gonna change. They'll make you think they've changed to get their needs met, to manipulate you, but they do not change.
35:33🔗AdamWell, first off, let me ask you this. Why should he need to change? A guy was just trying to see his daughter.
35:39🔗CallerIt's not that he needs to change, it's like from his past. That's what I meant, you said he had priors. Well, you know, he's changed from that, he's an adolescent.
35:47🔗AdamHe's a new man. Okay, all right, how old is he?
35:51🔗AdamAll right, well, that sounds like he's totally reformed.
35:57🔗DrewYou gotta get, seriously, you need to get on this planet and look realistically at what he does and not assume everything he tells you is 100% accurate.
36:07🔗CallerOh, believe me, I do. We've had long, long talks and there's been a lot of questioning involved.
36:12🔗DrewOkay, the talks will accomplish nothing.
36:15🔗AdamWere those talks through the holes that were drilled in the plexiglass that was between you?
36:21🔗DrewAll right, the talks are not gonna help.
36:22🔗AdamI'll tell you, if I knew I was going in the joint, I would get one of those plexiglass. I wouldn't mind-
36:28🔗AdamI wouldn't mind one anyway, but just my wife and I, first off, she spits a lot when she talks. Secondly, we argue, you know, and then if I was right, and we could do that thing where we touched, you know, put our hand-
36:41🔗AdamI would just roll it around and she'd start turning around. And then I'd be like, at a certain point, I'd be like, I gotta go. I gotta go. And I just hang the phone back up and I walk into the bathroom. You know, it'd just be funny to have, Drew, come on. You're a passionate man, yeah. Jessica? All right, so he's out in eight months.
37:07🔗CallerWell, then he needs, he's gonna work on getting custody of his daughter or visitation rights. But the problem is, is that the mother of the daughter, of his daughter, has been like, she'll write him letters in prison and saying that she loves him and wants to let him see his kid and stuff and wants to make it easy. And then when he, and he tells her to write her back, but then when he does, she turns it into the cops and she calls to his mom's house and makes a lot of threads and she tells him that he can't see any of his family or anything like that if he wants anything to do with his daughter.
37:41🔗DrewWould you say that again? He can't see his family?
37:47🔗AdamI gotta get, you know what? I love these women. Do you have a sister? Do I have a sister? You know what I want? Here's my fantasy where, you know, those like springer episodes where the guy gets busted cheating and the two chicks he's nailing are duking it out in front of him instead of beating the crap out of him. That's what this is.
38:06🔗DrewHe's sleeping with this old girlfriend too, I can feel that.
38:09🔗AdamYeah, good luck. And how much more baggage, how long does this guy's rap sheet need to get? How many kids does he need to have? How many wrecked relationships that flare up every once in a while? Jessica, you're 20, right?
39:00🔗AdamThat's the lady, yeah, sorry. I just, I gotta check my beach here. Producer, and that's the daughter. Okay, all right, but look, okay, here's the thing. As you know, I'm a genius, yes?
39:14🔗AdamAnd literally a millionaire. All right, so here's the thing. I know you think you know things. You don't know anything. This guy is not a great guy. All his amazing predicaments that have nothing to do with him have everything to do with him. You're screwed up. God knows where your dad is or where he was.
39:55🔗DrewOkay, that doesn't happen. Humans don't do that. That's true. All right, that does not happen. There's no such thing. Your brain will not let that happen. There has to be, has to be suppressed by some chemical or some severe medical problem.
40:25🔗AdamAll right, listen, Jessica. Okay, I'm done trying to talk. You're 20, you know everything, but here's the thing. Don't get pregnant. That's all.
40:38🔗AdamAll right, just do whatever you want. Just leave me alone, would you? Jesus Christ. I feel bad yelling at people that have had, yeah, they're injured, they're damaged goods, but they don't know it and they're angry. And rightfully so, because God knows her alcoholic, junkie dad, you know, left this planet when she was eight and she had some weird stepdad come in and touch her inappropriately and then whatever. And now she's angry and she should be.
41:09🔗DrewShe's angry, but it's interesting. Women excuse sociopathic males, women that have these courts of histories, they tend to see him as an injured child that needs protection rather than a manipulative predator, which in fact he's now become.
41:24🔗AdamRight, and I love the spin. I mean, really.
41:28🔗AdamYeah, it's like, She's got everything in her spin. I was trying to make a little contact with his daughter, trying to get a little custody of his daughter, Pounce in the pokey. Drew, I mean, you tried to talk to your daughter just today.
41:41🔗AdamReally? The SWAT team took you down, talking to your daughter? Yep, see, man of passion. One more phone call, then go to break?
41:51🔗DrewNo, break, because we have to edit the song.
41:53🔗AdamMy girlfriend online, they always have sex on the place. All right, all right, Alanis Morissette is in here tonight. You know, here's what I want to do with Alanis Morissette.
42:07🔗AdamWe'll play a second Alanis Morissette song, but we'll play it after she's gone. She's going to have to trust us. Because she's only staying for the first hour.
42:15🔗Alanis MorissetteI'm not invested, you can do whatever you want to do.
42:18🔗AdamOh, oh, aha, nice move, Missy. Touche, we're playing it now. We're playing six Alanis Morissette songs. Don't make, yup, you just bought it. Now you got eight, now you got eight. You want 10 songs? Yup.
42:58🔗AdamI'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Alanis Morissette is in studio tonight. So called Chaos, name of the CD. We'll be hearing 13 songs off of that CD. And actually, Alanis says she's got a, well, she's got some demo stuff in her car. She's got some acoustic stuff. We're gonna piece that together in Studio B and see if we can roll that out in about 45 minutes. Hey, it's a nice picture of you on the back there.
43:54🔗DrewHe's got a master's in physiology or whatever or something?
43:57🔗AdamYeah, they're a smart band, but they know it. I don't like that. I like people that are smart and think they're stupid. I like good-looking people who think they're ugly and fat, you know?
44:06🔗DrewI like people with lots of assets and poor self-esteem.
44:30🔗AdamIt's novel. Yeah, it's good for 20 minutes. It's sort of like when you're just up late at night and you're flicking through the channels and you come across Road House, Patrick Swayze movies, best bouncer, best cooler in the business. You watch it for, you know, not cause it's good, just cause it is, it is what it is, but you wouldn't want to have to see the whole thing. All right, where are we, Drew?
44:59🔗CallerOh, not much. I have a question for you. I just started dating a girl. We had actually met on one of these online date sites. She had started emailing me. And she lives some distance away. It's about 45 minutes away. And I've offered to come visit her, but she always comes up with an excuse, well, I can't come over. Her house is messy or something else. And I'm trying to figure out why I'm sort of not welcome at her place. She always wants to come to mine.
45:33🔗DrewAnd do you live in the same city, did you say?
45:36🔗CallerNo, we don't. We, um, I live in Virginia. And she lives near Charlottesville, University of Virginia. And I attend JMU.
45:45🔗AdamAll right, should we be JMU? Should we be, should, who knows? Should we be suspicious?
45:54🔗CallerWell, I'm not sure. I mean, it's not as though she doesn't take my calls. When I call, you know, I can call at any time. That would be my first thought. You know, if I call into it and pick the phone up, maybe there's someone else.
46:06🔗DrewGo visit her and stay at that Boar's Inn.
46:09🔗AdamBoar's Inn over there, Drew. I think Drew went there to...
46:13🔗DrewI spoke at University of Virginia. It was a great, old inn there.
46:16🔗AdamOkay, what if... What do you think she would do if you said, I got some business in your neck of the woods. I'm gonna be out there on Friday. What would she do?
46:27🔗CallerI'm not sure. I mean, I've offered, since it is a little distance away, to drive and meet her or come to her place and pick her up. But there's always some excuse. Her house is messy or she lives with her sister. Her sister's there and we wouldn't have any privacy.
46:43🔗DrewIs there anything about you that might be troubling to her sister that we should know about you or the diff... About her or... You know what I mean? Some people have weird...
46:52🔗AdamMaybe. I mean, sometimes people have crappy houses and they're sort of embarrassed by them and so they don't want to entertain or stuff with their sister.
47:01🔗DrewIt smacks, though, either of some family problem or of an old boyfriend. It just smacks.
47:05🔗CallerWell, she's never mentioned an old boyfriend. She's actually from New York, New York City. So there's no family there.
47:14🔗AdamWell, here's the whole thing. Sometimes people are just being nice. Like, you don't have to drive all the way out. I'll go to your place. But if you put the screws to them and they go, no, you can't come out. Okay, that's weird. And then now there's something. And then you can say, what's up? I've offered to come out a few times. I've never even seen your place. We've been dating for a few months. What's up? And then give her a chance to tell you something.
47:39🔗DrewMaybe it's something like simple, like the sister thinks she's still a virgin or something and she doesn't want to have to deal with that.
47:44🔗AdamI think it's one of those things where the sister is, you know, like, you know, like in a bubble or something. You know, I'm pretty sure.
47:54🔗AdamYou know, probably. Yeah. Like a big, a big hamster habit right now. Like a lucid balls or something. Got some weird immune deficiency thing or something. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
48:09🔗AdamWell, what else could it be? You geniuses have any better ideas? Yeah. They come in and there's plastic separating and you got to put the gloves on to hand them the TV remote and stuff, you know?
48:23🔗Alanis MorissetteShe doesn't want him to see that yet.
48:24🔗AdamShameful. Yeah. All right, Randy. Ask some questions. Yeah.
48:28🔗DrewJust listen. She owes you a little explanation.
48:31🔗Alanis MorissetteTell her how you feel. I would think.
48:33🔗AdamYou start acting like your name is Jake. You know what I mean? Randy doesn't ask questions. Jake, he needs answers. You see what I'm saying? Yeah.
49:11🔗DrewWell, here's the... Listen, what's the word I'm looking for? It's ridiculous. Well, no, this idea that it's okay for her to be bizarre and weird about this and you're supposed to just sort of stand by. It's like, hey, you always want to challenge her.
49:24🔗AdamBut we always get a little suspicious when people don't ask the questions because it's usually...
49:58🔗DrewIf he's afraid to find out that there's some old relationship or something.
50:01🔗AdamRandy, are you afraid to find out there's an old relationship?
50:05🔗CallerI mean, I trust this girl. I wouldn't...
50:07🔗DrewSee what I'm saying? I trust her. I mean, he's rationalizing.
50:12🔗AdamAll right. Ask some questions. Ask some questions and Randy, you need to get drunk once in a while. Randy, he's all up in his head and he's a little more visceral. You know what I mean?
50:22🔗AdamYou gotta go to that place Alanis goes when she writes those songs. You know what I mean? She's not up in her head. Go dancing. You got that place. You know the place you go? Mm-hmm.
50:32🔗AdamYeah. You know that place is now is going to be home because she's splitting. One hour. You did the first hour. That's good. Thanks for having. Hey, thanks for coming. I live nearby. Yeah, you're really is the crow flies probably five miles from here.
50:55🔗AdamAnd we'll be right back after this. There, buddy. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1- Alanis Morissette is heading out of the building. God bless her, she's in a good place. She's happy now.
51:56🔗CallerIt was June 10th and Moby was in and I remember I marked it down and I keep records of all the shows and I remember June 10th. Every June 10th, I always go, Jesus Christ, it's been another year.
52:08🔗CallerIt was the first night that I actually did the show by myself. The first night that I had Mike looking over my shoulder was actually Pennywise's return.
52:40🔗AdamNo, my first night on this show solo was with that a-hole, Psycho Michael from Suicidal Tendencies. Suicidal Tendencies. Oh, what a jackass that idiot was. I had to sit there and stare at that fat puss all night. Give me the stink eye across the console.
54:59🔗DrewIt's a great contraceptive. And for some women, some women actually enhances their sexuality. But for most, makes them depressed, shuts down the sex drive and makes them dry.
55:20🔗AdamYeah. That's that in med school, that was his battle cry. Grease them up and go. You know what the wheezes one is? Juice them up and go. The wheeze always recognize the importance of a wine cooler too. You know what I mean for the ladies?
55:39🔗DrewAnd when they were used, what, a mallet? Spocked with an El Cabong, they used to call him, right?
56:29🔗CallerOh, I pierced my nose and my lip, but my nose had to take it out because yeah, that part got infected and I checked on the website that if it gets infected, it could like do some brain damage.
56:48🔗DrewYou're near your head. You're near your brain and you're putting things in the soft tissue and that's how you get infections and it can easily spread to the central nervous system and that's deadly. Paul.
58:06🔗AdamBullet. You got a couple of guys in the band, the hands broken. Oh, come on. All right, listen here, buddy boy. What's plan B? I think what plan B is, is you working at a video store your whole life.
58:33🔗AdamLet's go. Let's break it down, buddy. All right. Let's go. Let's get it together now. Let's get a hand in. Hey, that amp? Not a chair. Brian?
58:52🔗CallerYeah, I had a question. My mom had me when she was 11 and I was wondering if that and the fact that I was born premature would have something to do, like, if it would cause any repercussions later on, like physically.
59:14🔗AdamYeah, but he doesn't know. I mean, by the way, don't you want to say, I know maybe we're rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic here, but maybe she was pregnant at 11 and had you at the ripe old age of 12.
59:32🔗CallerYeah. I don't live with her anymore. I was adopted. Thank God. Her mom was 16 too, so it sort of ended the vicious cycle.
59:38🔗AdamRight. I didn't... Drew, can you get pregnant at 11?
59:43🔗DrewSometimes, if it's on your menstruating.
59:45🔗AdamOh, man. Oh, and who got her... Who's daddy?
59:51🔗CallerSome 18-year-old crack act. I hate him. I hope he dies.
59:55🔗DrewWell, yeah. A good time. Some of these feelings you have about your biological parents of origin may have an effect on you. But the fact that you have loving adoptive parents.
1:00:05🔗AdamYou got adopted by good people, right?
1:00:08🔗DrewYeah. How old were you when you were adopted?
1:00:10🔗CallerOh, it was like three days or something. It was planned out before I was even born.
1:00:15🔗DrewWhat's happening now that's causing you to wonder about things?
1:00:17🔗CallerI'm just wondering because I remember before, I think my mom asked when I was four or five because I had a hernia when I was four or five, so she asked along like that, if there would be any growth problems or anything. Because I'm sort of on the short side as it is. So I was just wondering if later on that would cause any growth.
1:00:39🔗CallerWell, yeah, both that and the fact that my mom was 11 and then her mom was 16.
1:00:43🔗DrewSo it's like anything was going to be... That's more of a psychological issue.
1:00:47🔗AdamYeah, her mom being 16 is not any big deal.
1:00:49🔗CallerOkay, yeah, I didn't think that had anything to do with the fact that she was 11 too.
1:00:52🔗AdamYeah, no, what about your mom being 11? It's like eating green fruit, you know what I mean? It's not ripe.
1:01:01🔗CallerYeah, yeah, I know, like my mom says, I was in fifth grade, she's like, yeah, you know what, those girls in your grade, picture one of them getting pregnant, I'm like, oh my god.
1:01:14🔗CallerMy dad's really cool too. He's... Well, my parents are so religious. I'm not so much, but they sort of let me do my own thing. They're really cool people. They're really nice.
1:01:22🔗AdamAll right. You got to treat them. Treat them good every day.
1:01:28🔗CallerWell, you were asking before about how the dogs, you know, that they smell of the Duke, even though their noses are so much better. I got the answer for you. I read somewhere that the dogs can actually tell from just based on that how other dogs, like how what they're not necessarily feeling, but like what the condition is, like if they're sick or whatever. And so by sniffing that, then they can they can tell like how old the dog is, what the condition is, if like they're sick or if they got something like that going on.
1:01:55🔗AdamReally? Thank you. Well, first off, you know, there's that there's that that cliche, although it's the worst one I've ever heard, which is and I can't say the the S word on on the air, but you know, like some guy will fart and go like everyone will go like, oh, it's horrible. And the guy go, that's not even smell anything. And they go, dog kids smell the S. And I always think to myself, really spends good 20 minutes sniffing it. I'm pretty sure he can smell his own ass. He's got his nose in it.
1:02:31🔗DrewIs that what the caller is referring to is him working over his own ass?
1:02:35🔗AdamNo, I'm first referring I'm first talking about that sort of horrible cliche and not knowing what it means really it's it's it's horrible. Please stop using it everybody makes it makes zero if dogs didn't spend the better part of their life sniffing their own ass, it would be great. And it sounds good. Dog can't smell his own but has spent a significant portion of his day sniffing his ass.
1:03:15🔗AdamNow the the the other one is is what I was asking is is if a dog's sense of scent is 10,000 times more cute than a person's, how can they bury their face and other dogs fresh Duke and their their tushies? Their head should explode.
1:03:34🔗DrewYeah, they should. They should. Yeah, they should. Wretch and vomit.
1:03:38🔗AdamYou would you would be a throw up fountain. I mean, in fact, listen, Jimmy's cousin, Sal, has a broken win and confined spaces and brought people to the point of vomit. I should say past the point.
1:03:54🔗DrewOh, really? Actually, cause power. That's 50.
1:03:59🔗DrewThat's the kind of my kids use that catching on to hobo power all the time.
1:04:04🔗AdamThis show keeps moving, but if people we haven't talked about in a while, what hobo power is hobo power is a unit of measurement for stink, which we don't have currently. We have. Oh, man, that's right, dude. We got that. Oh, this is bad. And this guy really light intensity.
1:04:25🔗DrewWe have pressure intensity. Almost every other cent has a has a scale.
1:04:35🔗AdamYes. There are PSI's and BTU's there. Everything has a unit of their candle power for lights. There's there's there's everything but stink. Stink needs a unit to measure it by. So you know the difference between, you know, a nice silent but deadly. And then a cousin sound when he's actually making people vomit at a Huey Lewis outdoor concert.
1:05:03🔗DrewAnd because it is a scale in nature, there's certain aspects to it that sort of are theoretical.
1:05:11🔗AdamAnd here's the thing about this, everybody. I invented the scale. You cannot f with the scale. It's my scale. You come up with your own stink scale. You don't mess with the hobo power.
1:05:43🔗AdamThat's space. If you were shot into space, you would experience zero just before you imploded or exploded. You would experience zero hobo power.
1:05:56🔗DrewBut even then, it can't be experienced because your nerves, you're not sensitive enough to pick up.
1:06:01🔗AdamWhat's like a basic guy picking you up at LAX in a cab or a shuttle van?
1:06:25🔗AdamUh-huh. So what's a three or four just when you go into someone's apartment and they got that sofa for a while smell? Oh, you got a cat? You know that smell?
1:06:38🔗AdamNo, no, but that's cat with a litter box and stuff, just I know you have a cat. You got a cat in here somewhere. That's three, four hobo power?
1:06:57🔗AdamOh, that's right. So cousin Sal got to 50 on the hobo power. So that will make you heave. And if someone says, oh, I got to 50, I smelled 50, although I didn't vomit.
1:07:20🔗AdamThat's right. All right. Chris, you writing this down. You understand hobo power unit of measurement? Yes. Yes. HPs, BTUs and PSIs. And now we have HPs. All right. Drew.
1:07:45🔗AdamSo a dog can smell a joint that's been welded into a truck fender and packed with coffee grounds. He can smell it through the metal, through the coffee. What's he doing bearing his face in another dog's ass? And there's got to be a reason for it. And yeah, I agree with that call. He's trying to see if the dog's sick.
1:08:05🔗DrewI think he's reading like a signature, Duke's signature.
1:08:22🔗AdamChris, I know. Chris, yeah. Cluster log. Jimmy, it's just, I think it's a scent thing.
1:08:32🔗DrewLoose, a little loose. He's nervous, got that thing.
1:08:37🔗AdamThen the hole's been augured out so many times it just kind of falls out. It doesn't really, it's not extruded. You know what I'm saying? There's a difference in density between something that's extruded and something that just sort of spills out. Drew, I'm not sure if I could spot yours. And that's probably not a good sign. You know, we've been together for a while.
1:09:24🔗CallerAll right, but yeah, to the question, to the question. I've been pondering this question for the past couple of weeks, and everybody I asked doesn't really know. I was just kind of wondering, like, where the semen for women comes from?
1:09:39🔗DrewThere are multiple glands in and around the vagina. There are actually glands in the wall of the vagina. There are Skeen's glands and Bartholomew's glands, and they produce a lot of fluid, and it can come squirting out if there's a sufficient contraction.
1:10:31🔗AdamI want to examine your fecal matter. See if you start really learning it. Chris, I need you to, because I'm going to need an A to Drew's B. You understand? How do you feel?
1:11:03🔗AdamWell, you gotta make room. Let's go. I want you to go. I want you to produce a poopy, you and Drew. And then I'm gonna examine them. It's nothing funny about this shit. Drew loves, Drew loves a caca humor. It's so funny to him. Seriously, I'm not kidding though. And I need to freshen up my coffee on the way over there. All right.
1:11:32🔗CallerSick of wasting time with the wrong person.
1:11:34🔗CallerOne call is all you need to make. Call the dateline. 877-889-DATE. Love Line with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:11:59🔗AdamLove Line. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Tell you who's gonna be in here on Sunday night, a little band by the name of Bad Religion. All right. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Back to the phones, yes Drew?
1:12:25🔗AdamNo, I think we're cool. You know what I mean? You get a song an hour, she stays the first hour. I'm just tired. You know, it'd be nice to be like a regular DJ.
1:12:39🔗AdamYou know, I see all these guys down at the classic rock station, we take a leak with the guy every half hour. And it's like, how can you, and then it's got a Bad Co Super set going and he's on the pot. You know what I mean? It's like, hey, play a song, you don't have to sit here and watch the record go around, just go out and blow a butt.
1:13:06🔗AdamIf I had to. Chris in here, Chris couldn't make, there's a little, there's a little, little wreckle shine, we call it. But I'm gonna need to kind of focus and rally, you know, before the show's out. Or I'm gonna have to come by this weekend and grab a sample, so.
1:13:26🔗DrewBut you really need more than a sample, because again, it's just not like a dog for you, you have to see the whole production.
1:13:30🔗AdamYeah, I need a cross section. So, you know, I'm gonna be pretty busy with the weenie roasts and stuff. Maybe I can catch you on the way out. We'll do my upquest over at your mom's place if I don't know where that is. Mm-hmm? You're 20? What's up?
1:13:51🔗CallerOkay, it hurts, like when I have sex, like doggie style, when I'm like up a little bit. And when I'm on top, but every other way, like sideways or when I'm on the bottom, it doesn't.
1:14:32🔗DrewAnd when was the last time? All right, so that needs to be done every year, right? Yeah, so you need to get in and see if there's something that he's hitting that could be causing the pain, like endometriosis or cyst or infection. Those various things can do that.
1:15:19🔗AdamSacramento State, yeah. The guys at Northridge laugh at the Sac State. All right, baby doll. It's funny, you know, it's funny because I got a faint whiff of junior college, but not an overwhelming, pungent, noseful of junior college. It was just that. 12 hobo. Yeah, off in the distance I smelled junior college, and I was wrong. It's not junior college, it's Sacramento State, but I bet you if you flew over Sacramento State, you could smell just a little junior college coming out of there. But it didn't hit me hard. Sometimes it hits hard.
1:16:35🔗CallerA couple of years ago, and it was a secret, just my husband and I knew. And my mother-in-law recently found out, and she forced me to call my mom and tell her. And I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I told her that we were eloping tomorrow, and now she's telling me to put it off for two weeks. And she wants to have a little ceremony, and I'm already married, and she doesn't know. And the reason it's such a big deal is because my husband asked my stepfather for my hand in marriage after the fact.
1:17:35🔗CallerWe weren't really thinking and we covered it up a month and a half. My mother-in-law is not really even on speaking terms with us right now.
1:17:43🔗DrewNo, you're not answering the question.
1:17:46🔗AdamBy the way, this is gonna last forever. These kids are gonna make it. I can feel it. Why get married at 18?
1:17:55🔗DrewWe're in love. All right. Love is never an acceptable response to any of our questions. All right.
1:18:04🔗AdamBut they're young and they're in love. And so you snuck off and got married somewhere and didn't tell the family. And now you decided you should tell the family you're going to get married just so eventually it seems like what you are is what you are. And now they want to have a ceremony, but you're already married.
1:18:23🔗DrewSo you're going to run through the sham tomorrow. And that's that.
1:18:27🔗CallerWell, we're going to pretend to run through the sham tomorrow, but now my mom wants to be involved and she wants to have a little ceremony and we can't do that because we're already married.
1:18:39🔗AdamWell, what about that, Drew? Getting married twice.
1:18:43🔗AdamWell, oh yeah, you can do it because people renew their vows. Oh, Drew, your wife never, she's not.
1:18:50🔗DrewShe's not pushing me on that one. Your wife's pushing you on that?
1:18:55🔗AdamYou kidding? She's sorry about the first time. So listen, just go through the stupid thing, would you?
1:19:01🔗CallerBut isn't there paperwork when we have to fill out the marriage license again and...
1:19:07🔗AdamWell, well, here's what you do. Here's what you do. You tell your mom, you got to keep the lie going because you already got it started now. You tell her that you're heading down to the courthouse, you're going to take care of all that stuff. You just show, you don't show her any paperwork. You just, yeah, we're going to take care of that. We got all this, we got all that, and we'll just have the ceremony. She doesn't need, you know, there's no papers, you know, they don't have contracts and paperwork and stuff for the actual ceremony.
1:19:34🔗DrewSometimes the clergy will have you sign the marriage certificate right there, but just keep the clergy out of that and don't let your mom go down to the courthouse with you. That's it.
1:19:43🔗AdamDid you hear Drew slip up, by the way? Death certificate? Death certificate? Yeah. That's what it is. And I believe he started to call the courthouse the whorehouse, too, by the way. What are you, punchy tonight? You just signed a death certificate and head down to the whorehouse. Yeah. Yeah. And your mom wants to, like, register you somewhere so you can get some gifts and stuff, right?
1:20:14🔗CallerShe, she's told me that she would be embarrassed to tell the family that I eloped.
1:20:21🔗AdamAll right. Now, just give her, look, just, look, here's the thing about parents. Once you turn 18, you just gotta lie to them about everything.
1:20:29🔗DrewSee, that's the thing. She's, she's still so dependent on her parents. It's like she's 14.
1:20:34🔗DrewAnd she's doing all these things on her own, but the reality is she's completely in the web of the mom. He can't even, can't even.
1:20:39🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, this is why, again, at 18, it's, it's ridiculous. Drew, how different are you now than what you were at 18? And how different were you at 28 and 30, 34?
1:23:02🔗CallerI don't think so. I mean, I've never been diagnosed. But I'm... Basically what I'm saying is that I'm admitting that I might have been abused. And I've never really thought about that or admitted that.
1:23:16🔗AdamBut... Who may have abused you? Who may have abused you?
1:23:21🔗CallerIt was a babysitter, family, friend kind of situation.
1:29:26🔗DrewAnd people wonder, why aren't they answering the question? Yeah. Well, let's explain it. I mean, he used the third person to describe himself in a way that gave us a very unusual feeling.
1:29:48🔗DrewYeah, not that it was bogus, but that he was detached from himself to the point where it was like he was describing somebody else.
1:29:55🔗AdamDrew and I really dug into this in the bathroom about two minutes ago. Oh yeah, you kids, you know, you think we don't care because we kid, but we're in the bathroom getting into this stuff. Either that or I'm complaining about my family.
1:30:14🔗DrewThat's fair, but in Rusty's case, it really does sound like he may have what's called a schizoaffective or some kind of schizophrenic type of condition where there is that detached quality. So it needs to be evaluated. That's why he both sets the cactus for the end of the call.
1:30:35🔗CallerBasically, I've been depressed for like two months. I've been cutting and it's gotten like really bad at home. Like my daddy yells at me and my mom's just really strict. And so I got my belly button pierced like a few weeks ago and my mom's like saw it and she's like take it out. And then I couldn't really take it out. So she took me to the doctor and the doctor made a deal with me that she would like look at my cuts and then she would let me keep it. And so I did. And my mom's like, you're really not happy here, are you? And I was like, no. And so she's like, well then we'll find somewhere else for you. And so she's promised me that she'd find somewhere else for me and she's been looking and then-
1:31:13🔗DrewWhat do you mean find somewhere else? Somewhere other than your home?
1:31:20🔗CallerWell, I don't know. Like she told me that she found this one place, like this other person that I used to see, like for therapy. And she said that she could take me in. And so I'm like, well, can I think about it? And she told me that she'd give me like a couple of days. And so I'm just like running out of answers and I don't know like what to do.
1:31:41🔗AdamYour mom, now this is your biological mother?
1:32:01🔗AdamAll right. So it sounds like a threat, but on the other hand, if you're acting out, your mom's at her wits end and maybe doesn't feel like she's capable of taking care of you, then maybe she does plan on taking you somewhere.
1:32:17🔗DrewBut it sounds like they're trying to place her in some sort of therapeutic community.
1:32:21🔗CallerYeah, like she promised me that she'd find somewhere for me. Like one day she came in my room and she was crying. She was like, Brittany, I'm trying to help you. And I just like tried to get away from her. She was like holding me down and I was like, I-
1:32:39🔗CallerLike, I don't know. I just like, the way they treat me, like they yell at me all the time and they make me feel really stupid. And whenever my mom touches me, I just want to like shrink away. And I get so mad at her and I'm really pissed off and stuff.
1:33:03🔗AdamOh my God, I'm so tired. I couldn't move my mouth by the attorneys. I said, what do your parents do? And I just went attorneys in my head. And I rarely ask unless they're attorney. It's always attorney. Well, last time actually mom was a lawyer and the dad was a doctor or something like that. But yeah.
1:33:21🔗CallerMy dad has a temper and he promised me he wouldn't yell at me and he's like, I'll give you like $10 each time I yell and he continues yelling.
1:33:31🔗AdamHypothetical, worst couple. Attorney, attorney, publicist, publicist. And I know publicists are all gay, so there's no such thing as a real, heterosexual publicist, publicist. But hypothetically, if there was such a thing as a straight publicist- Worse though than, I would say worse than attorney.
1:33:51🔗DrewThe thing about the attorney is they are so in their head with everything that they really deny the existence of emotional process. And everything can be sort of willed into submission. And are understood through sheer grit. And it's not the case. There are things that are experiential.
1:34:10🔗AdamWell, Brittany. Do you think that you could stop acting out, not for your parents, but for you?
1:34:18🔗CallerWell, I've tried. And I don't know, like people have told me, keep on trying to be happy and I try.
1:34:26🔗DrewLet's get some help for you. Find a way that you can get real relationships outside of the home. So you're not being- Like a therapeutic relationship, somebody who's there for you.
1:34:35🔗CallerI have been, and I was seeing someone but she just wasn't working out. And so I guess my mom's trying to find someone new. I don't know.
1:34:41🔗AdamWell, here's what I'm asking you to do, Brittany. I know you resent the hell out of your parents. Believe me, they're worse parents than your parents. We talk to people all night, every night, whose parents are physically, sexually abusing them. And they're living in squalor.
1:34:59🔗DrewIt's strange that those people idealize their parents.
1:35:01🔗AdamThey like their parents. Yeah, right. So here's the thing, Brittany. How about for your sake, you just give in to it just a little bit, let your mom do what she thinks best for you, and just let it go.
1:35:13🔗DrewAnd not define yourself against your parents.
1:35:21🔗DrewNo, no, just relax. Just find somebody that can help you sort through your feelings so you can get what you need from a relationship, and get on your life and have a happy life. That'd be the ultimate revenge.
1:35:33🔗AdamSpeaking of happy, Hannah's been on hold for 110 minutes and used inhalants when pregnant. Wants to know if the kid's messed up. How old is the kid? How old is your child?
1:35:47🔗CallerOh, I am only about six to seven months, or weeks, I'm sorry.
1:35:52🔗AdamWeeks? Oh, so you used inhalants and you didn't know you're pregnant.
1:35:56🔗CallerYeah, I just found out last Friday that I'm pregnant and we're estimating that's about how much. And I did the whole whipped cream charger, whip it thing, I probably did about six to eight of them.
1:36:16🔗CallerOh, obviously, I've quit everything. I'm trying my best to take the best care of myself I can.
1:36:20🔗AdamAll right, good. And what are you gonna do? I'm gonna do it, but no, kids fine. They do the whip, they're good. I saw in the Scooby-Doo 2 thing. I saw Scooby and they're sucking on the.
1:37:13🔗AdamAnother fabulous week put safely to bed. I want to thank Alanis Morissette for coming in here tonight. We look forward to a little bad religion tomorrow night. I want to thank producer Ann. I want to thank junior, junior producer Lauren for doing a great job all week. I want to thank engineer Anderson, five years to the day and still going strong. And also engineer Chris here in the studio.
1:37:54🔗AdamOh, phone screener Brian. Sorry, phone screen, Brian. Out of sight, out of mind, you know what I'm saying? Thanks, buddy, for doing a fantastic job all week long. So until next time, it's Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying, mahalo.
