1:11🔗AdamYeah, yeah. All right, you're looking the same car. You're looking the same when you didn't like shot of it. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Oh, I just drove in tonight from Monterey.
1:39🔗AdamNo, yeah. Got, was it the Pebble Beach show? The Dr. Drew Board Certified Position, Dismas Beva, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1? All right, yeah. Oh, Pebble Beach, Pebble Beach. For those of you who are listening from around the country, California's got some good spots, got some bad spots. Pebble Beach and the Carmel Valley in that area, it's spectacular, that coastline, spectacular.
2:06🔗DrewWhy did we set up this city here and not there? That's the amazing thing.
2:09🔗AdamI don't know, it had to do with the port.
2:13🔗AdamThat's about as good as I can tell. I think it was the railroad, the port and the Lakers. I'm pretty sure the Lakers were here when we got here. I'm pretty sure.
2:22🔗DrewAnd I think with the Rams, yes, got set up there.
2:25🔗AdamThe Rams had come a little bit later, but when the earliest settlers came here and they went through the Donner Pass and they came here, I don't know, it's been like 1821 or something, there were five huge black men just standing there.
2:39🔗DrewThey thought about establishing a new religion or a professional basketball team, add to basketball.
2:44🔗AdamWe've been playing on this godforsaken earth. Please put some hardwood down for us and put a roof over it and call it to form. And then Chick Hearns showed up and he was already old. And he already had a comb over. And he was already, I already set a record for consecutive games. Wow, already? Yeah, Pebble Beach, Monterey, oh my God. You know, all I did is drive around Monterey. Monterey is just a picturesque rugged coastline, Pacific Ocean, all that stuff, big oak trees everywhere. And all I did was drive around and pass schools. There's schools, you see.
3:20🔗AdamNo, no, schools, regular schools. Yeah, junior highs and high schools. When you have a community and there's a few thousand people living in it, maybe, I don't know, 80,000 people or however many live there, you gotta have four or five high schools. And I would just drive around, you know, in this incredible real estate and go, hey, look at that. And it'd be, that's a high school. And it'd be like, yeah, could you imagine going to high school there? In a way, I think you'd be too sane. Well, in fact, it would screw you up somehow.
3:50🔗DrewI always satisfy myself by thinking, hey, who of any significant ever came from schools like this? You gotta have the hard knocks to sort of motivate. Otherwise, you just set up camp there.
3:59🔗AdamThese are just happy, adjusted people who are sliding under your radar, Drew. They're not Madonna's and all the other nutballs that are acting out because they had such a horrible childhood and they grew up in Detroit. They're just, they grew up healthy. They start families and then they have healthy kids. But man, the Concourse, the biggest car show in the world, really, and I shouldn't call it a car show, but event. It's not a car show. Well, it is a car show, but it's not fair to call it, as the grandfather of all these car shows. I mean, there's millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars worth of cars at these things. I mean, there's Ferraris that are worth 13, 15 million bucks, and there's one after the other, and you haven't even seen these ones before. Models you haven't seen. Crazy. Oh, Rolls Royces and Bentleys. I mean, when you go tour the grounds, there's $100 million worth of cars there. It is crazy. And, you know, a lot of people get into collecting stuff then, oh, well, what car is worth $10 million? Well, what stamp's worth it? What baseball's worth it? What piece of canvas with some oil paint spread on is worth this? At least when you go look at one of these Bentleys or Rolls Royces or Lincolns from the 20s or Duesenberg or something, your jaw hangs open. I mean, the workmanship, the craftsmanship, the machinery, credible stuff. I mean, you just stare at it. Even if it's a car, I don't like Duesenbergs, but I'm just staring at this Duesenberg going, oh, this is the most magnificent thing made of metal I've ever seen. It's really, it's spectacular.
5:38🔗DrewThose big exhaust tubes coming up the side. Oh, yeah.
5:41🔗AdamYeah, they had the flex exhaust pipes and superchargers and stuff. And then it's just filthy, rich people. Just white, rich people getting drunk.
5:50🔗DrewYou must have felt right at home with all the other literally rich people.
5:54🔗AdamLiterally a millionaire myself, but these guys are taking $12 million Ferraris and putting them on the track and going hard and cracking them up. You listening to this, Drew? By the way, if you had something that was worth more than eight bucks, it would be hermetically sealed, buried in your backyard, and you'd have some flunkies standing over it with a flashlight.
6:18🔗AdamYes, these are $12, $13 million cars, guys getting out there, driving them hard, trading paint, pounding them. Guy told the Ferrari GTO, that $13 million car. They drive them. They're meant to be driven. That's the announcement the guys make. No, they go out and race at Laguna Seca. Oh, what a weekend. If you like cars, don't go there, actually, because it's getting a little crowded. All right, but anyway, filthy rich people, and let me say something else, too. Contrary to what my parents tried to ram up, and I took I, growing up. Rich people, not inherently mean. They're actually, can be nice. They got a lot of extra stuff, they don't get weird.
7:00🔗AdamLet me tell you something. Poor people, the guys that freak on you. Hey, turn on the TV, see the guy who got stabbed because he borrowed a guy's ratchet set and didn't return it. That ain't rich guy stuff. That's poor guy stuff, because the ratchet set, even though it's only worth $86, is one quarter of the guy's gross income.
7:19🔗DrewWhen you're under stress, you're more likely to be aggressive.
7:21🔗AdamAnd when you don't have anything, it's a big deal.
7:26🔗AdamI'm just saying, you go buy some Flunky's place, try to get a beer and a cigarette from him, he's gonna tell you to f off. Go ask a rich guy for a beer, there you go, take six back. What's he care? Cost a penny of beer for him. Let's say lots of guys sitting around toasting, and yeah, come on up, sit on down, crack something. I've just drunk the entire weekend, Drew. I'm not ashamed to say it. All right, you ready to rock? Were you gonna say something?
7:52🔗AdamNo, you had something to say, but I cut you off.
7:54🔗DrewWell, I was gonna say how I saw Chris physically recoil. I think it's about an ass full of your literally millionaire comments. He literally, he looked physically uncomfortable.
8:33🔗AdamDid she hang up? All right, here we go. Let's get started now. Let's break it down. Let's get a hand in it. All right, is her phone bad? Is that what's going on?
8:58🔗CallerYeah, and well, my boobs have been, you know, they look saggy.
9:03🔗DrewWhat do you weigh now? What did you weigh go from two?
9:09🔗CallerI weighed like about 880, and I weighed like 144.
9:13🔗DrewOkay, interesting. Well, there are procedures that can be done much, much later if you need it, but I think this will sort of take care of itself. You're a little young right now, things will sort of move around a bit. Get exercising, get your tone up, keep the diet healthy.
9:28🔗AdamLet's go, let's break it down. Let's go, stop blaming your parents. Let's go, let's get to work now.
9:33🔗DrewThat's good, Daisy. Take care to break your sweat. That's excellent. Just keep it up. The sagginess, don't worry about right now. Things may take care of themselves. If not, and you're 18 to 20, you wanna do something, there are things that can be done.
10:08🔗AdamWent like a mad man. I got that same thing with you. You got that thing where you got the free food.
10:13🔗DrewYou saw me eat on Thursday, I was hungry.
10:14🔗AdamYeah, it was free food, you go sick. Yeah, it was weird. You get that weird thing.
10:19🔗DrewYou got it worse, you actually have it worse than I do. I just got hungry.
10:22🔗AdamYou're a man of passion, you're a passionate man. Exquisitely passionate.
10:26🔗DrewYou get that with food plus the free thing.
10:29🔗AdamYeah, I cannot pass free food and not get in on it because it's just, it's free. It's not gonna be out here again. You gotta get in. You gotta make hay while the sun shines, Drew. Are we talking to Tony again?
10:45🔗Okay, there's a rumor going around that if you're on the depth of bearer shot that your vagina hole is tighter because this one girl at my school is known by the guys and she said since she's been with her boyfriend and on the shot she's been tighter.
11:16🔗DrewNo, yeah, it makes it drier and so it seems tighter. Yeah, so it may seem tighter but it does not change things significantly. I guess there could be a decrease in suppleness also because when estrogen is deficient and progesterone is up but for the most part, it's not gonna make any difference and for that matter, stop thinking about those kinds of things. They don't mean anything to any guy on earth.
11:43🔗AdamAll right, that line is good. All right, dad smoking pot, McCann smoking pot. All right, someone's getting to the business. Matt? What's happening, Matt?
11:59🔗CallerI need a break. I'm an aspiring comedy writer and I can't get anyone to give me a break. I'm working my ass off here, trying to get somebody to read my stuff, trying to get somebody to produce my stuff, trying to get an agent to sell my stuff and nothing's happening. I don't want you to give me a break like Jimmy gave you a break.
12:17🔗AdamMm-hmm. Well, okay. Well, first off, Jimmy was just doing the local sports and he wasn't a big star like I am.
13:19🔗DrewRemember that one? That was a good movie.
13:21🔗AdamYeah, that's a good action. Good action, that's a good action movie. Yeah, coffee is Charles Coffee III. He's very uptight. He's a cop, but he goes by the book.
13:40🔗AdamThat's right. That's right. Plays by his own rules. And they go out and the other guy tells him, he eats a corn dog, and the other guy has to tell him what's in it. Because it's kind of a health food. Yeah, they're on stakeout.
13:53🔗DrewAnd yet Donetti always kind of starts skiing hutch like.
14:20🔗AdamDo you want one of those hollowed out wooden fish to drag a pencil across and just sit still for a second? Just to start thumping stuff. You really need something to play. You know what you need, Drew? You need some adult version of those toddler games where they take the wine thing and they put the little square in the square and the round and the peg.
14:40🔗DrewIf you'd allow me, listen. If you, like, look, here, give me the pen.
14:55🔗AdamLike we're trapped in a vault and you're trying to give some Morse code or something. And by the way, how does that Morse code work? You know, I'm watching those movies like this, like. He's in a vault.
15:06🔗DrewWith another SOS. Go get help. SOS, long, long, long, short, short, short.
15:10🔗AdamYeah, but no, but these guys communicate. They have a whole conversation.
15:16🔗AdamI know it's an alphabet, but you do, you do it like in the movies, the guy's like. Okay, he's in a vault. There's only 20 minutes of air left. CO2 levels are dangerously high. He needs you to get help.
15:30🔗AdamTell his wife he loves him. Okay, wait a minute. There's a denim. He says that in the drawer of his desk, that there's a key. It's like, he did three and a half taps. All I'm saying about this is you guys are lucky we don't know anything about this because if we did, we'd be pissed. All right, Drew, here's my idea. Chris, are you listening?
15:55🔗AdamI'm at the concourse today. Like I said, I don't know. Get on the computer, Chris. Put on the Pebble Beach there. Pebble Beach? Yeah, there's gotta be, there must be, there may be $100 million worth of cars out there. Maybe more, maybe more. All right, Submarine Surfaces, right in the bay. It's a beautiful bay, beautiful bay. No, no, it's an old Soviet nuclear class submarine that's been bought cheaply on the black market and commandeered.
16:26🔗AdamThey've removed all the torpedoes and stuff and all the missiles and everything, but it can hold like 22 cars now. Perfect. Comes on top. First guy, first guy.
16:37🔗AdamCone opens, cone opens. Guy, you know, and it got that guy with the crazy accent, he's good looking, he has long hair, you know. They take the 50 millimeter, start spraying all the gentry. People dress in period garb, bottles of Cristal. Well, they dress, sometimes they do dress that way.
16:55🔗DrewActually make it look like fat rich guys.
16:56🔗AdamFat rich guys, whitey, sprayed, champagne going everywhere. And he does that thing where he goes, I hope I've got your attention now. You know, weird things, like very, he's very understated and everything. All right, my guy could be me, could be Steven Seagal or something.
17:19🔗AdamYou brought up Coffee and Donuts, you idiot.
17:21🔗DrewWell, but I'm in a Denedy-like character, some guy.
17:22🔗AdamNo, no, this guy, this guy's, he's been drummed out of the service, not because he didn't get the job done, because he punched out a superior officer when he left some men behind.
17:43🔗AdamThis guy was SEALs and Green Beret and Special Forces. Nobody better.
17:47🔗DrewTried to save his men, but disobeyed an officer in the course of.
17:51🔗AdamNow, he's dressed in a old turn of the century, well, make it 20s kind of chauffeur outfit, and he's been demoted to just dusting like a Bentley, you know, he's got the dust thing on there and everything, but he sees what's going on. Loves cars, but sees what's going on. These guys take these multi-million dollar cars and they start loading them onto the thing. They're taking them to foreign markets.
18:19🔗DrewBut what motivates him is a bullet hits of one of his favorite cars you've seen foreboding. Now he's done it. Now you've done it.
18:26🔗AdamSee his reflection in the cracked rear view mirror. Oh yeah, very symbolic, very symbolic.
18:49🔗AdamOh, what's funny about cars being stolen. This is very serious. Now it's out there and he's on the sub. Interesting, stowed away in a Duesenberg, yeah. Yeah, and they're going to some Arab country to sell them to like a Sultan of Brunei or something.
19:24🔗AdamAll right, you have a sitcom idea you wanna pitch us?
19:27🔗CallerYeah, I do. Now this one, it was already sort of pitched to the person that was supposed to start it and he said no way. But I'll give it to you anyway, because I think it's pretty good. So it's called Charles Grodin Celebrity Lawyer. So here's my log line. Every day celebrities live in fear. Fear that one day the lifestyle they work so hard for will come to a crashing halt. And there's one who dares to uphold the special rights of all celebrities, and that's Charles Grodin Celebrity Lawyer. All right, and so basically it's about Charles Grodin. You know, he's a little distraught with the loss of his television show and the discontinued association with the Beethoven movie.
20:06🔗AdamRight, yeah, and so he turns to law. So this is about the real Charles Grodin?
20:12🔗CallerWell, no, it's sort of loosely based, right? So he's lost direction and he's rummaging through his attic. You know, and what is-
20:19🔗DrewFinds his law degree. Finds his JD up there in the attic.
20:23🔗CallerYeah, exactly. And then later that day, he's sort of just a chance meeting. He runs into a fellow celebrity who's framed for shoplifting and that's how it all starts.
20:32🔗AdamWell, let me say this, Matt, and everybody's listening out there as far as ideas go. It's really the execution. I mean, we get this all the time, you know, man show idea or Loveline or something like that. It's just really how they're done. Either they're executed well. If you really think of any 99% of the TV concepts on, you know, it's like, oh, I wish I'd thought of The Sopranos. Oh, you wish you just thought of an hour long drama that took place in New Jersey that involved the mafia. They've done a thousand of them. They're never any good. They usually, they star Andrew Stevens and they suck. This is good because you have really talented people writing it, really talented people casting it and it's shot. You know, I mean, really, if you think about, think about the success of The Sopranos. It's only because of the quality of The Sopranos. Other than that, it's a soap opera that takes place on, you know, HBO or any show you like. Whatever it is, it's really the execution of it. Once in a blue moon, and I say 99%, I leave the 1% for Jeopardy. Somebody came up with a good idea for a game show where you say the answer and the person provides the question. Once in a while something like that happens. Other than that, it's just pure execution and shows like Survivor around because they're done well. Everyone's like, oh, the idea, the idea, the idea. They get so caught up in the idea. It's all about the execution. Yes, see, look at this show now. Drew sits there and goes.
22:03🔗DrewMm-hmm, that's a perfect evidence of execution.
22:06🔗AdamMm-hmm, mm-hmm, and I couldn't get another guy to do that. I mean, there's no way a guy like Chris, let's try it. Let's just recreate it, all right? I'll go on my jag, you play Dr. Drew's part, and I'm gonna prove to you that it can't be done with an amateur, okay. It's all about the execution. Yeah, I mean, look at The Sopranos, it's a great cast, it's great writing, it's brilliantly produced and executed. No, not even close. I saw your mouth. A lot of flexion.
22:42🔗AdamGo get whatever came out of your mouth and put it back in. Yeah, that was nothing like Drew. Do you see Drew? He was staring off into space. His lips were pursed. He looked sort of disinterested. All right, but keep your lips closed this time and don't look at me. But look distracted. Or as a matter of fact, if you could read.
22:57🔗DrewI gotta get a pen, hold on. See how you can't function if I don't do my job, Adam? When he looks at you, you can't do it.
23:03🔗AdamDo me a favor, read something while your lips are pursed and you're not looking at me.
23:09🔗AdamOkay, you ready? I don't wanna see any teeth. I use The Sopranos as a great example. This show is beautifully written and it's wonderfully acted. It's not the idea, it's the execution of an idea.
23:28🔗DrewAnd Chris, do not laugh what he says to it. Do not show any amusement.
23:31🔗AdamIt looks like he almost smiled for a second.
23:32🔗DrewIt's like feeding a lion or something, it's like showing them a big thing of beach.
23:35🔗AdamDidn't Ann and Lauren talk to you about that? No. Okay, you could lose your job.
23:38🔗DrewThey perfected it, they perfected it. Just follow their lead.
23:42🔗AdamSo the point is, Drew, irreplaceable. All right, Matt, okay, I'm not gonna help Matt. Matt? All right, I like the idea. I can do nothing for you. Keep writing. You have to keep writing and keep writing. That's all I can say.
24:00🔗DrewGotta get out of British Columbia. Wait, wait, what's he gonna do from British Columbia?
24:08🔗CallerWhat else can I do? Like, how do I get people to read my stuff? How do I get attention?
24:12🔗DrewThere's a weird thing that goes on in this town, Matt, where if people read your stuff, they won't read it because they're afraid if they come up with a similar idea, you'll sue them.
24:29🔗AdamThat's what you need to do. That's what you need. You go to some place, and there's lots of productions going on in Canada. You'll work for free.
24:37🔗AdamYou'll Xerox stuff and go on coffee runs. And you do that for a few years, and next thing you know, somebody lets you help them on something.
24:54🔗AdamThanks. Hey, everybody, Loveline. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. All right, we're gonna go back to the phones, and we're gonna speak to Sarah, who's 20. Sarah?
25:28🔗CallerAll right, so I'm eight months pregnant with my second child, actually. And the question for Dr. Drew, and I'm wondering what the best birth control would be to be on after this pregnancy, because this pregnancy I got on when I was on the pill.
25:47🔗CallerYes. The first time I wasn't, that's how I got pregnant the first time, the second time I was very, very, very strict about taking it, I took it every day.
25:53🔗DrewWere you taking antibiotics or something that might have affected the efficacy of the pill?
25:58🔗CallerNo, the doctor said that it might have been too weak for me.
26:01🔗DrewThat's what I was just thinking, am I on a mini pill or something?
26:04🔗CallerI don't know what they put me on. Well, it could have been.
26:08🔗AdamSome people are more fertile than others, yes, Drew? What could you say it that way?
26:13🔗DrewIt's more that medication affect people differently. And in her case, it did make a difference and maybe something more like, something with more estrogen in it would be better for you. So again, the hormones are the most effective. I could see where you might be anxious and want to add a condom to the mix here just to really take the risk down quite a bit.
26:33🔗CallerAnd. My husband's gonna have a vasectomy, but we have to save up for it first.
27:01🔗AdamYou know the guys at the bottom of the freeway ramp that have the Vietnam Veterans sign or making money, it need money to get gas to get back to Arizona.
27:12🔗DrewSo if I stood down there to help a sign, I need money for vasectomy?
27:14🔗AdamI'd throw a couple quarters in the bucket. Think about it.
27:19🔗DrewYeah, just from an evolutionary standpoint.
27:21🔗AdamJust some guy with a maws buzzing around his head, weird eye patch on, just frothing at the mouth and wants a vasectomy.
27:32🔗AdamYeah. I mean, I think just for creativity. You know what I mean? Yeah. Okay. All right, so Sarah should think about the patch.
27:41🔗DrewI don't know, again, yeah, patch, something. Again, I'm suspicious that she will not be as diligent with the pill as she thinks she might be since she failed on the first go-around. She...
27:51🔗AdamOh, because she's saying the patch, not because it's more effective, but because...
27:54🔗DrewWell, it would give her more estrogen than the mini stuff. And there's a reason, again, I'm sensing here some problems and why they put her on the mini pill.
28:00🔗AdamYou don't trust her, you don't really trust her. She screwed up on the pill the first time.
28:04🔗DrewThat and why they put her on the mini pill when she's complaining about side effects stuff. Just get on the patch and get more estrogen, let's go.
28:09🔗AdamSarah, why did they put you on the mini pill?
28:11🔗CallerI think that they said they were gonna put me on the mini pill because I was still breastfeeding.
28:14🔗AdamOh, all right, well, there you go. Hey, Sarah? You sound pretty together for a 20-year-old with a kid. Yeah. Well, almost. All right, good, get the hubby fixed.
28:27🔗DrewAdd a condom. Why just use a condom and a...
28:30🔗AdamWho the hell wants to use a rubber with their wife?
28:33🔗DrewFor a while until he gets his vasectomy. That's all.
28:43🔗AdamYeah. A rubber. Jamie? Oh, hearty heart, never heard Drew laugh. Jamie, you're 18. What's happening?
28:54🔗CallerI was wondering if being on depression pills and sleeping pills were a bad idea.
29:01🔗AdamWhat about supplementing your pills with a little sleeping pill?
29:05🔗DrewSleeping pills should really never be used more than a couple of weeks, period.
29:09🔗CallerI have problems sleeping, and I've had problems sleeping for the past like five months. I mean, I can't sleep until like four or five in the morning. I can't go to sleep, you know?
29:19🔗DrewBecause you're depressed, right? All right, so your depression needs to be properly treated. But early awakening, difficulty falling asleep, these sorts of things are symptoms of depression. If the depression is treated, those symptoms will get better.
30:47🔗AdamLet me tell you. Let me tell you, I was just in Monterey. It was 71 in a nice offshore breeze blowing and sunny. Spectacular. Oh, saw those California Condors flying around.
31:04🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, it's going to be a perfect setting for my sub movie.
31:09🔗DrewOh, yeah. Oh, the attack Condors. They could drop bombs in the summer or something?
31:14🔗AdamNo, no, no. I just came up with a great title for it. You ready? It's a sub movie where they steal cars. Subterranean parking. Yeah. That's good. A little too animated with them. Mm-hmm, correct. And just sort of, yeah? What do you think? OK, that's good. I don't believe them. I don't believe me either. I believe he may have liked it. He did just go, mm. There you go. Laura?
31:52🔗CallerMy son now is eight plus months old. But when I was pregnant with him, I used for like the first four months. What? Speed. I actually like, because I had a really, really, really bad problem with speed. And I don't know how I did it, but I managed to get sober. And luckily, thank God, he came out with every finger, every toe. And he's fine. But I was just like wondering what, you know, I don't want to think that like nothing could happen. So basically like what could happen in the future, if anything, or how I'd get ready for it, or you know, like.
32:35🔗CallerThey said I self-medicated with speed.
32:37🔗AdamKids are eight months old now. You did math from zero to four months as far as your pregnancy went. And then what else, Drew? Anything else?
32:48🔗DrewFirst of all, get out of your head the idea that you were self-medicating, ADD, ADHD. Yes, that's why you chose speed. That's why you like speed. But you got strung out on speed and couldn't stop doing speed in spite of the consequences because you're an addict. And the addiction needs to be treated separately. Do not take stimulants. Do not let anybody treat your ADD, ADHD. Adult ADD is addiction in my world. Every single ADD I've ever seen except for two have been addicts. And do not take stimulants.
33:20🔗DrewLaura, get your addiction treatment. ADD is a marker. ADD is a marker for addiction. ADD in childhood is the child who's going to be an addict.
33:30🔗CallerI have over a year sobriety. I went into the program when I got sober.
33:34🔗DrewAll right, good. So that's how you got sober. All right, here's the deal. Children exposed to amphetamine, particularly in cocaine also, can have developmental problems, behavioral problems, cognitive problems, learning problems, particularly around kindergarten, first grade. That's when you start to see things emerge. And if they do, have them treated. My understanding is that for the most part, the outcomes as they get older are actually less severe than they originally thought they might be. So things kind of turn out okay.
34:03🔗AdamBetter zero to four months or four months to term.
34:09🔗CallerI mean, they told me basically that it was better off, that I was sober longer than I was using during my pregnancy.
34:14🔗DrewYou know, I mean, of course that's better.
34:16🔗CallerBetter, it was better. They did all the tests and everything and yeah.
34:20🔗DrewIt sounds like you're in pretty good shape, all things being considered.
34:22🔗AdamListen, the kid's gonna be fine and now the real hurdle is you're 21, you had a little bout with the meds.
34:29🔗DrewYour sobriety, you can't keep your sobriety going.
34:30🔗AdamI'm not sure where daddy is, where's daddy?
34:32🔗CallerYeah, that's where I have actually another question about that because basically he's mad at me for using and he's being mad at me but staying away and I know you, Dr. Drew, having both parents in their lives and I've been trying really hard to have them have a relationship but he's been like-
34:52🔗DrewYeah, look, he's using that as an excuse. That's BS. He's an a-hole.
34:57🔗CallerHow much did I try to have my son have a father?
35:00🔗AdamWith this guy? Alright, hold on a second. Alright, your son's been on the terra firma here for eight months, right? This guy's seen him how many times? Once? In eight months? This guy's a colossal a-hole. He's an idiot and he wants out. He is out. He's not coming back. You're a single mom and stop clinging to the dream of getting this guy interested in something he's not interested in.
35:33🔗DrewHere's what I recommend. Get a cup of your sobriety under your belt. You will be amazed at the healthy people you begin attracting, not the crazy, messed up, coked up guys you used to go for. You'll be attracted to a different kind of person. A different kind of person will be attracted to you.
35:58🔗DrewPeople are capable of a relationship. You'll have a relationship. You'll have a long term one hopefully. And that will be the child's male role model.
36:29🔗AdamHe was dusting a Lincoln, a 1923 Lincoln when a Russian, when a Russian, when a commandeered Russian sub pulled up on Pebble Beach. He stowed away.
36:44🔗DrewThis is more of your movie. This could be the home front.
36:48🔗AdamHe stowed away in the intake manifold of a Bugatti and later was drowned when he tried to sabotage the sub. But but but as a hero and he's at sea and every time you see the ocean you think of him and you'll hear his name instead of a jacked up meth head who raped me in a truck stop urinal.
37:10🔗AdamIt never never took any interest. Right. Say yes. Yeah. Let's take ourselves a quick break. We'll come back. We'll speak to Katie. Caught dad smoking pot. See what's on line too. Okay. Oh, oh, mystery call. That's exciting.
37:28🔗AdamEntry in progress it says. Syntholating. We'll be right back after this. Love line. You know, Drew, smelling good is more than a smell. It's an attitude.
37:42🔗DrewThat's true, Adam. It is? I know how to get that attitude, too.
38:01🔗AdamHey, everybody. It's Love Line. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1-er. You ready to rock here, Drew? Let's go. Let's get it going now. Let's get it on. Got to get it on.
38:31🔗Yeah. And I've just got back from Iraq in April.
38:36🔗DrewHold on one second. Is that now? Is he? Put him on hold. I feel like I don't want to mar his poor James, but do you think the reason he's a virgin is not for lack of opportunity but maybe for lack of drive? Because maybe the levels of the hormone aren't quite as high as in some guys and that's why the voice is the way it is and we assume then that he's a virgin? You understand what I'm saying? Which is first, the chicken or the egg here?
39:02🔗AdamWell, we had this discussion last week which is I and Drew for that matter can just pick guys or virgins or not by the sound of their voice. We talked to 12 year olds and they were going down.
39:17🔗DrewIs that a function of losing the virginity or the function of a guy who is that androgenized, that masculine that you know he's not going to be a virgin any longer?
39:35🔗AdamWent to the wrong one. But a virgin, by the way, you should have to get laid before you go into a battle zone. Because dying a virgin would be horrible.
40:59🔗DrewYou know, it's interesting, I was talking to some older, some people like, say, our parents' age the other night, and I was saying, you don't understand. I mean, the people in their, in their, the young adults now, either themselves or all of them know somebody who's in Iraq, who's in the military. This is our country, this is our time right now. Hey, James' generation is dealing with wartime, and the rest of us is sort of sitting back. Come on.
41:38🔗Because the Air Force only does six months' rotations. We do it six months there, and six months home, six months there.
41:45🔗AdamReally? Got to get in that Air Force. And so now you're back. Your virgin and your girlfriend had some bad experiences with guys. Yes. That's what the question says. And what does that mean?
41:57🔗Combination of them just being like, some of them were hurtful, abusive, just cheating on her.
42:07🔗DrewOkay, James, and so that's why she doesn't want to move the relationship along with you? Is that what she's saying?
42:18🔗Actually, what it is, is her father controls her, whatever he wants, he manipulates her to do whatever.
42:23🔗AdamThen my buddy Chris shows up and she's blowing him while he's talking to her dad. That's how it works. I love that. No, you gotta get some juice.
42:34🔗DrewLet me translate further. James, not bad enough. Obviously, she went for these horrible guys in spite of what dad wanted, so why won't she go for you, the good guy?
42:47🔗AdamHere's the whole thing, James, and everybody who's listening who plays that sort of, her dad won't let her card or her boss or she's moving or whatever, here are your two choices in this matter. Either she's telling you the truth and her dad won't let her date you or be with you or whatever and obviously she's going to listen to him, or she's lying and she's using her dad as an excuse to not see you.
43:11🔗DrewIt's not even a volitional lie, it's just sort of a distortion. It's easier.
43:14🔗AdamIt's convenient. Path of least resistance. The point is, either scenario, what's it mean, Drew?
43:21🔗AdamYou're out. And I wonder if she's even your girlfriend, James.
43:27🔗Well, with what we've done in the past four months, with me coming home all the time and us seeing each other and everything, me, I would interpret it as my girlfriend.
44:16🔗DrewAnd we all wish that we had somebody like us grab us by the collar and just shake us, just do one of those.
44:22🔗AdamIt's more like me than you, but yeah. Hey, James, I think there's a part of you that knows that she's not really into this thing either. Now there's a part, we haven't talked about this in a while, Drew. There's a part of everybody that, I mean, when you're 19 and you're horny, when you're 20 and you're horny, when you're 17 and you're horny, when you're just a male between the age of 14 and 50, no, but it can go up to 28, 29, 30. There's a 15-year range in there where you can want it enough for the both of you. And where you can become obsessive and a little delusional and even smart guys can, smart guys can't be fooled by bad lies coming from like car salesmen and stuff like that and guys selling timeshare, but they can easily lie to themselves and get away with it.
45:14🔗DrewYeah, and women can lie to them even easier.
45:17🔗AdamYeah, all they need is a little kernel of something of, well, it's not me, I'd love to see you, but dad doesn't immediately we go to work on dad. What are we going to do? Because she's dying to see me. She's just listening to her dad for the first time ever. You know what I'm saying? It's just, if someone is not with you, it's because they don't want to be with you. And we drive the wrong point home in movies. In movies, we then go and it turns out it is the dad. It's never the dad. If the chick wants to see you, she sneaks out the window and sees you.
45:57🔗AdamIf she's into you, she's into you. If he's into you ladies, he's into you. And if not, all the other excuses, don't believe them. They don't exist. You've been watching too many Disney movies.
46:09🔗DrewYeah, the unfortunate reality is we were much more primitive than that, especially at that age. We don't do things that make sense.
46:15🔗AdamIf there was a chick that you were super hot for when you were 19, 20 years old, anybody in the family could have kept you away? You would have stabbed your dad with a crocheting needle and stepped right over his cold dead body just to get a handy. Am I right?
46:42🔗AdamWe would have had the conversation with him in the living room on the sofa, though. Son, I forbid you from ever seeing that girl again. What's that, dad? I can't hear him in the entry hall. Don't make me sit forward. Go on. I'm thinking about leaning forward. I've been thinking about it for nine years. All right, let's take a little break. I would laugh like a maniac if at 15 my dad told me that. All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
47:10🔗AdamBottom line, it sucks being single today.
47:12🔗DrewTons of lame people and no decent prospects. Call the dateline.
47:24🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. All right, well, I drove home from Pebble Beach today. Gotta burl him, getting tired, Drew. Oh, really? Gotta be honest with you.
47:54🔗AdamI was up at like the Carmel Valley Inn or some place like that. GM was paying for all this junk and they got the breakfast going. Oh, that's nice. And the guy, the crepe guy, the crepe guy.
48:09🔗DrewI was gonna ask you about that. You got a blintz guy?
48:11🔗AdamBlintz guy? No, just a crepe guy. Blintz is nice, but they just had the crepes. But then they get to build your own omelet guy. Nothing, imagine, okay, you're lying in bed, you don't wanna get up, but you smell some bacon, you smell a little coffee, and you hear the blintz guy making his way to a station. You're up, right? Yeah, that's it. Yeah, gets you motivated. Instead, I got half a yogurt to look forward to in the fridge, or maybe out of the fridge. Doesn't motivate me, but the coffee gets me up, I realize.
49:00🔗AdamWent to bed, I drove out Friday to Pebble Beach. Yeah. I left, actually left at 5 a.m. Wow. Was going on the road at 5 a.m., went to bed at 2.30, got up at 4.30.
49:29🔗DrewBut I mean, I'm like letting myself sleep till like 8.30 in the morning, even after going to bed at 12.31 with Loveline. I've been doing it like two weeks, I'm getting like a seven to nine hours of sleep every night for two weeks. I'm a different human being.
49:41🔗AdamYeah, yeah, I can tell by the way you grunt when I'm going on a tirade. You know, before I used to go on my tirades and it'd be like.
49:51🔗AdamAnd now it's like, mm. Yeah, so I was like, you see his head move? It's crazy, he's saying to me, he's beaked up, this guy. I reel it in just a little bit, Drew, you're spooking me.
50:02🔗DrewBut now that I'm sleeping, I'm thinking to myself, what the F, 20 years of, six, five, four hours of.
50:08🔗AdamYou torture yourself and then get angry at the world. I've told you to sleep in for a long time. All right, thank you. Abby?
50:27🔗CallerI don't know, like, I'm bipolar. And I'll just go through my manic highs and my manic lows where I wanna have sex with him. And then other times I'll have really bad flashbacks.
50:48🔗DrewGood times. And so what we see then is people typically go through periods of very, very intense sexual activity where they're sort of recreating the trauma and then they'll switch from that to very depriving or deprivation states where they don't have any sex. They're shut down. So maybe you're in that kind of shutdown stage.
51:06🔗AdamAnd did you tell your mom about this guy?
51:09🔗CallerYeah, I went through court and everything. She testified against me.
51:20🔗DrewAt least you realize she said the S words. She did catch herself. Better most of our college.
51:25🔗AdamYeah, Abby dropped the S bomb, so I had to put her on hold so we can reboot here for a second. I always wonder about this. Are people that truly evil or does Abby have some sort of very negative, semi-twisted version of what mom did in court?
52:33🔗AdamAnd so what happened? He was found guilty?
52:35🔗CallerHe signed a confess form and he only served two months. And I don't even know if he's a registered molester.
52:43🔗DrewYeah, Abby, you don't have to take a huge drag off so you're gonna blow it into the mic. Get into the phone for us, we get it. All right, baby. All right, listen.
52:58🔗CallerI've been in therapy since I was eight.
53:00🔗DrewOkay, keep going. What I've noticed in people that have been through this is they sort of splinter internally. They become kind of a good self and a bad self. And when the bad self is active, that's when magically they can have sex. And when they actually get involved in a relationship with somebody worthwhile, that's when they tend to shut down, that the good self is somehow completely divorced from the sexual self. And you gotta be able to integrate these things to have a real relationship.
53:23🔗CallerYeah, because he's like the first nice guy that I've ever been to.
53:26🔗DrewYeah, so don't screw it up. Yeah, yeah, well, don't screw it up.
53:30🔗AdamOkay, yeah, just try not to sabotage, Abby. It's gonna be difficult for you. Like, before you give him a BJ, put out the cigarette. Nobody needs that.
55:07🔗DrewShe could start tonight, but how dare you suggest that she is going to start tonight, Adam?
55:11🔗AdamYeah, and then she started laughing when he said, same partner. Please, that was Friday. It's almost Monday. Please, gotta be some new penis. Katie?
55:27🔗CallerWhen I was like 14, I got diagnosed with bipolar and they put me on meds and they never explained me that I had bipolar, like really what it was, you know? They explained it to my parents and they put me on Zepakote.
55:42🔗DrewHow much, how fruitful would it have been for them to spend a lot of time discussing your brain chemistry at 14?
55:49🔗CallerWell, it would have been a lot of help because now I'm 18 and after, I was in the hospital 11 times in all year. I had 11 stays there and then I ended up at a group home and now I'm going to a doctor and I'm out of the group home. I've been out for a year and they tell me that I'm not bipolar and I'm not on any meds now and I feel fine, but because of the Depakote, I gained over 70 pounds.
56:13🔗DrewDepakote doesn't typically cause weight gain. Were you on something else? Were you on Zyprexa?
56:24🔗DrewYeah, well that can cause you to gain weight.
56:26🔗AdamSometimes people just gain weight from 14 to 18.
56:29🔗CallerWell, yeah, that's the only thing I was on and it was over the summer, like three months.
56:33🔗DrewDepakote doesn't typically cause weight gain. It really doesn't. I imagine if it's possible it did, but it doesn't typically.
56:40🔗AdamAll right, but how does the part where you're in and out of homes and all that stuff work and go to the hospital 11 times?
56:46🔗DrewAnd how could you not have a mental illness requiring all those hospitalizations?
56:50🔗CallerWell, the thing is, as me and my mom, we don't get along at all and I have a really short temper. So every time something happened, I would go back. Like, I would just went on and on.
57:13🔗DrewIt's great that you're off meds and feeling good now, but don't think that magically things have vanished. You need to work hard and be carefully managed. These are chronic conditions. You need to be treated over a long, long period of time to be successfully free of symptoms.
57:31🔗CallerWell, I just want to know, because is there anything like I can do? Because I didn't know about this gain weight. Now I have stretch marks, and my mom wants to sue, and I didn't know if, like...
57:49🔗AdamTell your mom not to sue. Tell everyone not to sue. Everyone, please stop suing so I can get on with my goddamn life without reading warning labels and getting smashed by pneumatic closers in every door I open. Everyone, stop suing. Stop wanting to sue. Can we do that? I've never sued anybody. I've never even wanted to sue anybody. It's not an option. Unless the guy sets you on fire while you're asleep, move forward, everybody. Please, with the lawsuits. Everyone's destroying the country. And the lawyers are destroying the country. But without a-holes who are throwing themselves downstairs at casinos every five minutes, there'd be no clientele. Let's all stop suing each other.
58:34🔗DrewI mean, you can't, it's, you know, what the thinking is, the doctor wanted to harm her or was negligent by not, by trying to help, but not-
58:42🔗AdamSomething bad has happened to me and I need to be compensated. Why don't we get a class action lawsuit against God for all the people that are disabled?
59:01🔗AdamYeah, let's just stop it. Let's just stop suing everybody. Can we do that? I'm a little dignity. What's going on? And how about some goddamn PSAs that talk about something for a change?
59:15🔗AdamYeah, I mean, I sit here all night and listen to these stupid PSAs about where your laptop computer is and not partying. Yeah, let's work like a charm. We've had 50 years of PSAs about not having that beer when you're under 21. Let's work like a charm. Marijuana, it's not smoked anymore. Cocaine, out of business. Underage drinking doesn't exist. No, we've conquered that. We've climbed that mountain and conquered it, Drew. Here we go. Yeah, those PSAs, they work like charms. How about a little something? I'm gonna listen to a PSA that's like, have some goddamn dignity. Stop suing everybody. Pick yourself up by your own bootstraps and get to work, would you? Your last easy day was yesterday. Don't eyeball me, son. I want a DI. I want a drill instructor to deliver these things. Lou Gossett Jr. from An Officer and a Gentleman. Just start screaming at everybody. He's 70? He's doing Iron Eagle 5. One day I'm gonna put together a list of actors who have Academy Awards and have done horrible, horrible films since, and it's gonna be funny. And Lou Gossett Jr. would be maybe not at the top, but in my top five. He's done some bad work since he got his Academy Award, Drew. I'm hoping one day I can get to the point where I get Academy Award and then start doing bad work.
1:00:31🔗DrewYou know you really could get a rich payoff as Academy Award nominees.
1:00:36🔗AdamYeah, oh, well that, that's everybody. The guys that actually brought home the trophy and then gone on to do Iron Eagle 1, 2 and 3. Yeah, that's less plausible than my sub-movie plot. What are you doing, Drew, are we ready to rock?
1:00:55🔗AdamGet it on, let's get it on. Drew, the amount of movies I see to the amount of movies I announce I'm gonna see, either on pay-per-view at the hotel or actually in the movie theater, gotta be 75 to one. Like, I was out of town this week, I announced, hey, what's on this pay-per-view? Because they have the still in the theater, Troy, hmm, I could see that. I'm gonna watch, I announced it three consecutive nights, I was gonna watch it, no, never did. Beaten off in the shower and went to bed. Sarah?
1:01:32🔗GuestHi Adam, hi Dr. Drew. Well, I recently slept with my best guy friend and I wanted some relationship advice because he told me he just wanted to be friends.
1:01:51🔗AdamHow long have you guys known each other?
1:01:53🔗GuestOften on about two years, we met in school.
1:01:56🔗DrewWere you attracted to him at first? Did you want to be a boyfriend, girlfriend?
1:01:59🔗GuestNo, not at first. After I got to know him, I started liking him.
1:02:02🔗AdamReally? How'd you get to know him at first if you weren't attracted to him?
1:02:07🔗GuestOh, well, we started hanging out. We live really close to each other, about two minutes away, so usually we just go hang out naturally, because, yeah.
1:02:16🔗AdamBecause he lives within a five mile radius of your house?
1:02:20🔗GuestYeah, and plus we have a lot of common interests.
1:02:50🔗AdamShe's into him. And he's passively into her, but he's way more into this other chick that's really got his attention, because she dumped on him, and now he's become a little bit obsessed with him.
1:03:00🔗DrewYeah, yeah, and now he had an opportunity with Sarah, so he had sort of a mercy action, yeah.
1:03:07🔗AdamWhen did this, how'd you guys finally get together after these years?
1:03:13🔗GuestIt's kind of funny, we were sitting in a car, and we were kind of having a truth or dare kind of thing.
1:03:37🔗AdamYeah, I mean, like if you couldn't take your top off and run around the car and then jump back in and land on my penis. I just thought of that, man. You guys pretend, like they're trying to come up with dares, but I was involved.
1:03:50🔗DrewBut what are the women thinking? What do they think the guy's motivated to do?
1:03:53🔗AdamI know, it's so funny, too, like it's never like, let's see, Truth, you tell me how many guys you slept with or Dare, you go down to Old Man Johnson's farm and egg his truck. So it's always something with the shirt coming off. You know what I mean? That's the chick. And for a guy, it's something, okay, you gotta go outside and you gotta take the hose and whatever, and it's freezing cold or something like that. But with a chick, and it's again, the guy's thinking, what would be good?
1:04:22🔗DrewBy the way, the guys are looking for an opportunity to show their willingness to deliver on your behalf.
1:04:29🔗AdamYou pull your sweater over your head and smear this lithium axle grease on your areolas. I just thought of that. I would have done the same for a dude. Yeah, if you're playing, and by the way, when there's guys involved, it's like, okay, put it, the guy stares, like, put another sweatshirt on and then just go roll out in the snow. And then just flog yourself with the hose, right.
1:06:17🔗AdamI knew it. Yeah, Drew had another thought. Drew thought you may have been Asian for some crazy reason. I don't know why. I didn't get anything off of you, by the way. I'm very rare, by the way, because I'm usually looking for an ethnic angle. But I got nothing off of you. All right. So Sarah, then you guys had sex in the car. Yeah. Right. And now he's back to wanting to be friends.
1:06:44🔗DrewAt what point did he declare, by the way, as things were unfolding, we're just going to be friends after this, right? What was he doing at the moment that was delivered?
1:06:56🔗AdamListen, Sarah, here's the thing. He may still be your friend. He's not going to be your boyfriend. He's interested in this other chick. You can't win him over. You've had sex with him now. It's not worked. You have to move on. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
1:07:15🔗DrewHaving sex with a guy does not convert them. It does not convert into anything.
1:07:20🔗AdamNo. No. It does not. And here's the thing, too. It's so hard when you're 18 or 17. It's like, oh, this person doesn't like me. How am I going to make it without this person? I'll never see this person. I mean, you remember those stupid sort of retarded fantasies where it's like, you'd say, I will never see this person again. Oh, my God, no. I mean, they're so special. I couldn't imagine.
1:07:52🔗AdamAnd oh, my God. The times, yes. Yeah, but the point is, now you're a little older, Drew, you didn't want to see your wife. Forget about the ones you've had. We'll go home to a house that's empty for a change. The point is, think of all the people you haven't seen in 20 years, and never think about it. It's cool. Once in a while, you're on a long drive, and time in a bottle comes on the radio, and you start drifting back, you get half a boner, but that's about it. You've made it fine. Not only can you make it without this guy, you're going to make it without the next ten guys, and then you'll marry the guy. You're going to stay here for four years, and then you'll make it without him. I'm just saying, you don't need to see him.
1:08:33🔗DrewAnd by the way, real relationships are people you want to be with, but don't have to be with. You know what I'm saying? You want to be with somebody, you must.
1:08:41🔗AdamLet me tell you something, man. Love is like a bird, man. You've got to set it free, man. And if it comes back, it was meant to be, man. But if it just flies out and gets hit, like a UPS guy, then it's dead, man. You can still have sex with it a couple of times, but during the summer, you've got to hurry, because it'll go bad quick. Yeah. All right, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1-er. Lisa Loeb. Oh, no, that's next week. She's coming in. Yeah.
1:10:12🔗AdamI'm lucky we're not doing peace work and I get paid by the syllable. It says you'd be destroyed. Reena? Imagine, Drew, if we were getting paid by the word and you and I had to compete. You see what I'm saying? See who could try to make more money?
1:10:28🔗DrewYeah, but there'd have to be sort of a weight applied to each word. There'd be a value to each word.
1:10:34🔗AdamI don't know. I think it would go something like this. Watch, it would be like this. Reena.
1:10:46🔗AdamWell, you see, now, in that one, I would have gotten in like 21 words, you would have gotten in 19 words. You're very competitive. No, no, no.
1:10:55🔗DrewNo, no, no. The words involved in this would be very important. Yes.
1:10:57🔗AdamOkay. And for redundancy, you'd have, like I said, no, I'm not 128 times.
1:11:19🔗Adam14, baby doll. Germany or Florida? Here we go.
1:11:23🔗CallerA man suspected of murder after he was seen carrying what a neighbor thought was a body into his flat has cleared his name by showing police his collection of rubber specks of gold.
1:11:53🔗AdamJustin? Hey, how are you doing? You're 18? So my question is, my friend was at work and her friend there said, try to have sex, you know, when she's on her bed and I'm happy because girlfriend wants him to do anal sex with her. He's reluctant. Let's know about the rest.
1:12:44🔗AdamSo who named you Shasta? All right. What's up?
1:12:52🔗CallerWell, about a week ago, I started smoking pot.
1:13:09🔗DrewNo, that's not true. That's simply not true. It doesn't do anything to you if you smoke it once a month, but if you're smoking it every day, it has rather profound effects.
1:13:30🔗AdamBelieve me. Yeah. You should be eating like a ginkgo biloba. You need one of those supplements that help your brain.
1:13:41🔗DrewNot to bring it down. Pop, for some people, can be quite addictive, and when it's used regularly, will have rather profound effects on your development, particularly your age. So please, please, please don't get going with that.
1:13:52🔗AdamYou're 16, baby doll. You gotta move far away from Bakersfield.
1:14:29🔗CallerWell, I'm taking this computer programming class, and I need to learn all the programs, like I'm going to write programs. Good. I'm gonna do all the code behind it, kind of like HTML.
1:14:40🔗DrewChast, don't, you need every brand cell you've got. Do not waste them.
1:14:45🔗DrewThis is a highly competitive and intellectual field, it seems to me. At least, challenging field.
1:14:50🔗AdamYes. Yeah, here's the whole thing about the weed, everybody. It stunts your mental growth, especially if you're doing it all the time. There's just certain things you miss.
1:15:00🔗DrewIt's not an accident we know you're smoking a lot of pot. We can tell immediately when somebody smoked a lot of pot. Not because they seem sharp and on their game.
1:15:09🔗AdamIt dulls you. It's like when you don't get enough sleep, but every day. And I know you make that thing, but it does take the edge off and make you not quite as sharp as you are.
1:15:38🔗AdamNo. I think he smokes a ton of weed, but he's a very sharp guy.
1:15:42🔗DrewI bet he doesn't smoke that much. No, I bet when he smokes, he smokes plenty. Well, there always is that guy that smokes for a long, long period of time, and it seemed to be resistant to these accumulative effects of the drug. I've known some people. I've had some doctors do that.
1:16:55🔗AdamThere are a handful of people that are so intelligent, that are so advanced, and have such big brains, that they can actually cool their jets down a little. It's like trying to put out a volcano with a garden hose. Yeah, technically, it cools it a little bit, but really, it's so powerful that whatever. It'd be a little better without it, but.
1:17:15🔗DrewI understand that you sort of see this as the horsepower of the individual, but there may actually be some properties that resist the cumulative effect of the drug also.
1:17:25🔗AdamYeah, yeah. There is, but yes, there is. I'm sure there is, but it's obviously look, I know plenty of intelligent people, not going to mention any more names other than Bill Maher, who like to take a toke now and again, and that's being conservative, who have not seemed to have lost a step from their game. OK, and I know many of these people and they're adults and they consume a lot of marijuana and yet very sharp. OK, they can do it because they're very intelligent people. They don't have the, they don't get the effects that you would have, but here's what I'm saying. That ain't you. All your nut jobs from Bakersfield. You need every cell you got.
1:18:05🔗DrewAnd I'm inclined to think that they probably, really seriously, have to, we'll have to get Bill up here.
1:18:50🔗DrewWhat do you mean, how to handle it? What's happening?
1:18:53🔗CallerWell, I just, I don't know what to do.
1:18:54🔗CallerLike, I've tried, I've talked to them about it, and like, they say they're going to stop, but they don't.
1:18:59🔗DrewYeah, you can't change them, and you're not their parent. So what is it you're looking for? What's the feeling that you're looking for a direction upon?
1:19:08🔗CallerUm, that they just, I don't want them to lie.
1:19:12🔗CallerYeah, I don't want them to lie to me about it.
1:19:14🔗AdamWell, how did you, how did you, how did you catch them?
1:19:17🔗CallerI walked in my, into my dad's when he was smoking.
1:19:20🔗DrewAll right, the only thing you can do, if you're interested, you can get something, things to help yourself. You can take care of yourself by going to Al-Nod or getting a therapist, that sort of thing to learn to deal with parents who are addicted.
1:19:34🔗AdamHow's your dad doing? Does he have a job?
1:19:40🔗CallerYeah, he has a job. Like, they haven't been doing it their whole life, they just recently started up again.
1:19:45🔗AdamAnd so they say, do they, do they provide a good home for you? Yeah, they do. What's your dad do for a living?
1:20:28🔗AdamAll right. Shut up. Don't speak here. Just speak in Arkansas. That's our new rule. All right. Here's the thing, Caitlin, you're not going to stop them. I agree with Drew. You sound depressed. I don't think it's just over this. Your parents are successful or at least successful enough to provide a home and put food on the table and send you off to college one of these days. Focus on your friends. Focus on you not smoking pot. Focus on getting your grades up. Focus on going to school next year and all that good stuff. And don't sit home and sulk over your parents doing this. You're not going to get them to stop. And if they're being, look, here's what I'm saying. I don't want to condemn the parents. If the dad goes to work and he puts in a good day and he comes home and toks out a little reefer and he puts food on the table, so be it.
1:21:12🔗DrewBut they're not the perfect humans you thought they were. I know you idealize them. You do sound a little depressed. Again, therapists, Al-Anon, 12 Step, could help you. If nothing else, go away to college. Take advantage of the mental health services at the University of Arkansas when you get there.
1:21:27🔗AdamGood times. And go backs. Razor backs. Backpacks. Backpacks. Lauren? There should be a team called the Fanny Packs. Could there be a gayer name for like a football team?
1:21:44🔗AdamEast Colorado Fanny Packs. Oh yeah, Lord Jeffs. That was Drew's mascot. Well, everybody, it's beautiful football season and it's the Lord Jeffs.
1:21:56🔗AdamVersus the Eastern Illinois Fanny Packs. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, that's bad news. Drew, what's up? Want to talk to Lauren? Yeah. Lauren, 22.
1:22:08🔗GuestYes. I'm 22 and my boyfriend's 23. We have a six month old baby together and we live separately. He cheated on me with someone for a while while he was in the Army, broke up with me while I was pregnant, but I couldn't keep working while I was pregnant because of some health issues so he invited me to go and live in his apartment until I could get back on my feet again.
1:22:38🔗AdamWhile he was off doing his Army thing or live with him?
1:23:22🔗GuestWell, okay, so that first night that I was there, we had this big, tearful reunion, and he wanted to get back together with me. I found out about the woman and found out that she had planned to move several hundred miles to be near him.
1:24:13🔗AdamRight. All right. Hold on a second, Lauren. We got to take a break. We'll find out. You know, she's pregnant. She's with this guy. She busted him for cheating. Got ratted out. We'll figure it all out. We're going to figure it out after this. Hey, everybody. What's really going on, huh, Drew?
1:24:56🔗AdamAnd you realize that some of these movies, these iconic movies from the 70s, really horrible. Just crap, like everything that came out of the 70s. Not only bad, not only bad writing and bad scripts and all that good stuff, bad acting, bad everything, but just bad editing, bad sound, horrible.
1:25:21🔗AdamYeah, John Schaft. No, it's like, he's a complicated man, but no one, now, at the very beginning of the song, the guy's like, he goes, who's the private dick? Who's the sex machine to all the chicks? Schaft, can't dig it, you know? And then 10 seconds later, he goes, he's a complicated man, but no one understands him, but his woman. And it's like, well, wait a minute, does no one understand him, but his woman, or is he a sex machine to all the chicks? And I realized, well, he's both. He goes out and bangs everybody, and then he goes home and his woman understands him. And also understands she can't change the man. Fish gotta swim.
1:26:04🔗AdamThey just get people pregnant and leave. They get people pregnant and they go to like Detroit or Chicago, but they don't ramble. White guys ramble. Not because we want to, but because we have to.
1:27:08🔗AdamI was hoping my NAD would drop. But listen, here's the thing. This is the doom and gloom thing because when you watch these, go watch one of these movies from the 70s, everything was decaying, they're falling apart. So people did the math. Well, they went, well, stuff's falling apart now and it's 1974.
1:27:56🔗DrewYou're pregnant, your boyfriend's had a reunion, he's called off the other chick, what's the deal? What's the question?
1:28:00🔗AdamYou moved in, are you living with him now? What's the deal?
1:28:03🔗GuestNo, no, no, actually I live with my dad and he lives in his place still and they stayed friends and I got a relationship.
1:28:13🔗AdamThey meaning this person he had the relationship with.
1:28:15🔗CallerThe girl that he had the relationship with.
1:28:18🔗GuestWell, they stayed friends and she, I got mad with him and we kind of had a break up for about a week. He was in love with her and now she's pregnant.
1:28:43🔗AdamAnd by the way, look, you come in clean after doing something horrible and being pressed and caught dead to ride. People look at this as admirable. It's like, well, what he did is bang this other chick and he got her pregnant too and he got me pregnant. And then I found out about, because one of his friends told him, but he was open, he was honest about it. Yeah, you caught him.
1:29:05🔗DrewThe fact that people are open and honest should be matter of fact. The fact that people deny things they've actually done is really unbelievable. But okay, so he's honest. Good, he gets a little credit for that.
1:29:17🔗DrewYeah, that's all right. All right, but the scary thing is that people don't even expect people to be honest then. That's unbelievable, but okay. So he gets a little brownie point for that that does not relinquish him of the responsibility for bringing an ass.
1:29:28🔗AdamWell, he's a complicated man, but no one understands him but his lady.
1:30:24🔗DrewAnd Lauren wants to be a part of that.
1:30:25🔗AdamShe's gonna raise the kid and what are you gonna do?
1:30:29🔗GuestI don't know how my relationship with him will progress that we've.
1:30:33🔗DrewThis is very primitive, very primitive.
1:30:36🔗AdamWell, I don't understand what you're excited about if your boyfriend nailed somebody else and got them pregnant and now she's gonna see that kid through to full term and what are you gonna do? What's your role gonna be?
1:31:00🔗AdamWell, what is your plan? I mean, I understand, why do you have to be a part of the new kid's life?
1:31:08🔗GuestI guess I always grew up with step-parents. Yeah, actually the man that I'm living with now is not my father. He's my ex-stepfather who raised me.
1:31:21🔗DrewRaised you, raped you or raised you? Raised me.
1:31:25🔗AdamRaised me. Okay, okay, Lauren, look, this is what we call cluster F in the business.
1:31:33🔗DrewAdam, let's stand back and be a little bit.
1:31:38🔗AdamI don't trust this guy. I don't like this guy.
1:31:41🔗DrewIn ancient Egypt and parts of Utah. And nomadic tribes in the Mesopotamian region at one time, these things work, so there's a primitive aspect of the human being that can tolerate this.
1:31:54🔗AdamIt's a disaster. Look, you're keeping a stiff upper lip, I appreciate it, but the wheels are gonna come off this wagon soon.
1:32:00🔗DrewBecause of him. Here's what you need to do.
1:32:04🔗AdamI don't trust him, I don't like him, and he's not given me any cause to think anything else about him. You need to focus on the kid you have right now and try not to raise them in the same Cuisinart you got raised in. And no more god damn kids, do you understand me?
1:32:22🔗AdamI know you don't want any, but that means you're only gonna have seven. No more.
1:32:27🔗DrewAnd the fact is, you can't tolerate intimacy, you need to have a capacity for intimacy from somebody who's actually available and not a Rolling Stone.
1:32:33🔗AdamNo more kids, don't scrub the one you have and see if you can keep him out of jail before he turns 15. And this guy, don't expect anything out of him. Please, no more sex with him.
1:33:36🔗AdamI'll tell you that much. Tell you what, we got John Hensley here tonight. Tomorrow night, I should say, from Nip Tuck. Very successful cable show, Drew. Very. We'll take ourselves a quick 22-hour break and until next time, it's Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew, saying, Mahalo.
