Voiceover
Hey, 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, and tonight we're thrilled to have Seth MacFarlane here from The Family Guy.
10:01🔗
Adam
Tenguin. Let me say this about The Family Guy. I feel like the guy who discovered the band, you know, I was into REM way back in 79.
10:15🔗
Adam
Yeah, I know, but I have to, because people, you know, that's like the, I thought that, I told you that chick was hot. Somehow, oh yeah. Denise Richards, man, when she was doing that alien movie with the spiders and stuff, that Starship Troopers, man, she was hot.
10:55🔗
Adam
And let me... Yes, you do, Drew, and you do a good job. Now be quiet. The thing about The Family Guy is it's got legs, this show. Guys at the office over at Kimmel's Place talking about it all the time just today. I didn't say, oh, Seth MacFarlane's coming in. They just started bringing it up. And in a way... Now I've seen every episode four times, and now everyone else is getting on board with it. So I feel like a little left out, like I shot my wad a year ago. Now I just watch the ones with me in it. But so I'm looking forward to the new episodes coming out. But it must be nice, because I mean, obviously there was a time two years ago when you thought this thing had a fork stuck in it.
11:37🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah, we were, you know, the show was dead. It was gone. And, you know, it was the DVD sales and the Cartoon Network airings that brought it back. And they tell me that's the first time it's happened with a network television show.
11:51🔗
Adam
It's got to be nice and give you a little bit of faith in humanity and the human spirit.
12:01🔗
Adam
Yeah, that people can recognize good work, support it, the networks can understand that and respond to it accordingly. So, 16 new episodes you're working on, I've heard you say.
12:13🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yes, 16 episodes of American Dad, which is the new show, and then 35 new episodes of Family Guy. Which will bring us to 75, so we're pushing 100.
12:24🔗
Drew
You should see, I mean, you know over at E, where E is, he has an entire floor in that building. And they do everything from the voice to the pictures.
12:36🔗
Well, they're two floors.
12:37🔗
1.5.
12:38🔗
Adam
He has the only floor. Okay, Drew, I'm just kidding. Why don't you get the puss off your face?
12:47🔗
Drew
But this guy, I was just telling Stryker, he's over there erasing, you know, looking at angles of drawings. I mean, every little aspect of every single frame.
13:03🔗
Adam
You got to be if you want the good final product. And Seth, of course, oh, Crank Yankers on tonight, by the way. 10.30 on Comedy Central. Got to thank Seth for doing some great voices on Crank Yankers.
13:18🔗
Adam
All right. So before we get to it and we can talk about American Dad, which is coming out, another animated series from the mind of Seth MacFarlane, which is coming out after the Super Bowl.
13:43🔗
Drew
But the great thing is they live with an alien Pauline. An alien who talks like Pauline.
13:50🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It's kind of a family guy meets all in the family sort of thing. It's a little more political. It skews kind of left wing. It's, you know, it'll...
14:07🔗
Adam
Is, you know, animation is expensive to do, but ultimately if a show gets like friends, then that's got to get more expensive if everyone's getting a million bucks an episode. How does it work out? You know how the price is compared to like just a moderately successful sitcom?
14:31🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah, that really keeps the cost down. But for an animated half hour sitcom, it's about the same as a show like, say that 70s show. It hovers around a million per episode. I think obviously when something like Friends, it shoots way up. Or The Simpsons, they spend a lot more.
14:50🔗
Adam
You know what I would do? Here's what you should have done, and maybe you did. If you're smart, you did this. I hate when people do that because you never did it. If you're smart, you would have done the following.
14:59🔗
Adam
I didn't do that, but I am making right now, if that helps. I would bring everyone, Mila Kunis and Alex Borstein, and bring everyone in. And the day I hired them, have a person standing next to them doing the same voice.
15:18🔗
Adam
Now this guy, go back to the Ralphs and do the stocking. Okay, so he's working over there.
15:39🔗
Did she do a few episodes?
15:45🔗
Seth MacFarlane
From Party of Five. And she... We never really got the full story as to why she couldn't do the rest of the series. We heard it was... Busy. Yeah, yeah. It was some sort of...
16:12🔗
Adam
Well, let me go through my Rolodex. There are thousands of them. So she passed on. Then there was a second Meg?
16:24🔗
Seth MacFarlane
She was the first one that aired. There was one that never actually aired. And then Lacey was the second one. And then Mila was... Mila's done by far the majority of the shows.
16:57🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Mila's doing her own thing. Her Meg has some spark to it. She's not afraid to call her father a fat bastard.
17:05🔗
Adam
Sure. Speaking of voices, Seth, I don't mean to cut you off, but Seth and I, we spoke. I went to a party of his where we didn't speak. Locked himself in a room.
17:18🔗
Adam
I was looking all over for him. He has a grand piano, by the way, in his living room, which lets the ladies know he means business.
17:33🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I took voice lessons for a few years. I took a lot of singing lessons when I was younger, but when I came out here, I was referred to a couple, both in their 90s, who used to do everything. They used to do... They were in the Henry Mancini chorus. They did the old Johnny Mercer song. Everything you can possibly imagine. I trained with them for a few years because we were doing all these musical numbers on the show, and it really was great.
18:02🔗
Drew
Vocally? Did you write the lyrics and the music? You're sort of transposing. You're ripping music off.
18:09🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Some of it's original. We have an album coming out that's done in the style of the Rat Pack at the Sands CD. It's a big 55-piece orchestra. It's taken us almost a year to do it. The music is by Walter Murphy, who did the Family Guy theme and unbelievably talented composer. He used to arrange for Johnny Carson.
18:41🔗
Seth MacFarlane
That was an old Hope Crosby song from the Road to Morocco. Which I'm sure the kids are all familiar with.
19:15🔗
Adam
It's nice. Alright, so what I was saying before I got diverted with the grand piano was, Seth and I are considerate friends.
19:25🔗
Adam
And I talked about getting a little voiceover work on the New Family Guy, and lo and behold, Drew goes in and does a session before moi. And I am kind of the voice of death.
19:44🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Death will reappear very, very soon. We've been kicking around some ideas for that character.
19:54🔗
Adam
I do me, I can do this voice, and I can do it with one nostril closed. That's the left one, and I can do it with the right one, and I can do it with them both open.
20:08🔗
Drew
I was just thinking, one of the producers mentioned playing the devil, and I thought, the devil and death. Oh my.
20:12🔗
Adam
Yeah, that'd be good. I'm just saying, if we make it through a whole season, and Drew has done the VO work, and I haven't, it's going to be difficult.
20:21🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It's going to be awkward. It's going to be awkward. We can't let that happen.
20:24🔗
Adam
Let's not. Heather? Yes? 25. You just shoehorned me into some episode. That's all. As a matter of fact, I think you should break down the fourth wall, as we call it. I didn't train with the nine-year-old twins, but I still know where the fourth wall is. I can show you where the door is. Oh, boy. Just listen to me. We break down the fourth wall.
20:48🔗
Adam
You appear as yourself. I just say, it's Adam Carolla doing a voiceover. And Brian can apologize to the people at home. I promised the guy when I was drunk, I would give him some voiceover. We didn't see anything organically that he could do, but he's actually marching through the scene doing a voice, just doing his own voice.
21:10🔗
This is really uncomfortable. It doesn't have anything to do with the story, but here's Adam, everybody.
21:15🔗
Adam
Thanks. Thanks, Seth. I mean, Stewie. Oh, Christ. Well, anyway, let's just keep rolling. Promises were kept. God bless you. I didn't really prepare anything. Then the music starts swelling. And I'm out of there. You go right back to the thing. You break down that fourth wall.
21:36🔗
Yep.
21:41🔗
Caller
I guess my questions are, is you guys are talking earlier about men liking younger women. There are some women, like myself, I can't be with an older man at all. I'm not attracted to him. It's an issue. And I want to know, is that normal? Yucky issue?
22:01🔗
Caller
I think it's kind of... It has to be a whole Drew thing and his psychological analysis because my mom dated a lot of older men.
22:08🔗
Drew
You know, it's interesting. I have a friend whose mother is older than her dad and she only likes younger men. Yeah, but that's interesting. Whatever.
22:22🔗
Drew
No, but the point is there are reasons that people come up with certain sorts of tastes, so to speak, and yours is because of your experience with your mom. That's fine.
22:41🔗
Adam
It's a great society we're living in where if a 25-year-old dates a 28-year-old, she's dating a younger man, even though she's older.
22:48🔗
Caller
Well, I kind of have this dilemma now because I like this guy who I've known for a while, and he's a little bit younger, which is just fine, but he's my best friend. And yeah, we got intimate, but now he's like two states away. And I don't know, I fantasize about him a lot, and I want to know, that's got to be normal, right? Do you like the guy?
23:19🔗
Drew
Wait, wait, wait, we're going to break it down. So the fact is, she at one time didn't respond to him, that's why they became friends. Finally, he was able to break through in a weak moment, and she responded and now likes him as well.
23:37🔗
Adam
I know, but him initiating the sex doesn't mean he's the one who likes her. That's the beauty of being a guy. You can actually like the person less than they like you and be the one who initiates and finishes the sex, by the way.
23:50🔗
Adam
Yes. More often than not. Then he moves two states away. Why does he do that if he's in love and he finally has his conquests and his dream?
24:02🔗
Adam
I see. Let me just try to get something straight. How was the friendship started? Who was attracted to who first?
24:17🔗
Caller
Because I still had feelings for my ex and he still had feelings for his ex and we did not want to do the rebound thing that most people do.
24:24🔗
Drew
It's rarely that both... Why don't you speak for yourself? You weren't willing to do a rebound thing, and so that's fine.
25:07🔗
Adam
Yeah, you know, the thing that's always disappointing about the Air Force, there's one out of every four million enlisted guys in the Air Force actually flies the plane. The other is some sort of ground crew backup something. It's never any fun.
25:27🔗
Adam
Oh, forget about knowing which plane. Just the fact that they're monkeying with a plane would be enough. Yeah, I don't know what that is. I don't know, women just completely tune out with that stuff. But anyway, he'll drop a few bombs, he'll be back, and then you guys will get going. I'm worried that he's...
25:45🔗
Adam
What guy is saying, look, I still have some residual feelings from my last relationship. I'd rather just be friends with you at this point.
26:13🔗
Yes?
26:17🔗
Caller
First of all, I want to say hi, Seth. I love Family Guy. I love your voice. I think you're awesome.
26:30🔗
Caller
Well, I got married a couple months ago and then a few weeks ago, I just found out that both of my in-laws have been charged with felonies and they don't know that I know.
26:40🔗
How'd you find out?
26:43🔗
Caller
I work for a company that does background checks and some of the stuff I can access at home. So my husband was joking, like we had some friends over and he jokingly said, oh, do a search on my dad.
26:54🔗
No, they didn't know either.
26:56🔗
Caller
At the time that, OK, at the time that his dad's, the time he was charged with it, you know, whenever he committed a crime, my husband was finishing up high school and he was living with some relatives. He's had a really screwed up life.
27:14🔗
Caller
Yeah, here's the thing. Well, his mom, it was grand theft, but something about statutory limitations that was dropped. His dad was gross sexual imposition and kidnapping. He charged or he pled guilty to the gross sexual imposition and then the kidnapping charges dropped. So I'm assuming it was a plea bargain.
27:32🔗
Adam
It was dropped. It was just gross sexual imposition. I thought it was mail fraud or something.
27:39🔗
Adam
Hold on a second. First off, I never even I didn't even know there was gross sexual imposition, which it has the word gross and imposition. It sounds like position, it's like you tried to do it like manatee style with a 14 year old.
28:04🔗
Drew
My kidnap. I immediately think I picked up a hooker and was not or something, you know, something.
28:09🔗
Adam
Well, that's the whole thing about the charges. Like sometimes they can sound worse than the crime or it could be the other way around. Yes.
28:17🔗
Drew
Yeah. I'm just thankful it wasn't anything against children, something like that, you know.
28:26🔗
Caller
That's exactly what it was. We didn't know what that would have meant. We knew what it implied. So we looked it up online to see what the definition of gross sexual imposition is. And there are several, you know, I'm saying there are several definitions. You can either, it's either having sex with somebody under the age of 13 or seeing someone.
29:01🔗
Adam
So sex with someone who's, you know, 15 is sex with a minor, but under 13, then it gets into the gross part.
29:13🔗
Caller
Another one is forcing someone else to have sex with someone else or basically drugging someone with some form of intoxicant.
29:28🔗
Adam
And by the way, if I was the son, I would go from the, hey, put my dad's name in there to projectile vomiting that actually filled the room. It's like urinating on a Quaker.
30:06🔗
Adam
Listen, all I gotta do is find a donkey napping. And that's how you know. That's what my dad did.
30:31🔗
Adam
He. So. He did one of those things. I guess the one you. Well, I don't know. I think the one you. I'm not sure which one you hope for. The two forcing the two people to have sex or the drugging one. They, you know, the having sex with someone under 13.
30:54🔗
Caller
He pled guilty to the gross sexual imposition and the kidnapping charge was dropped. So I'm assuming it was a plea bargain. Like he did the plea, because he originally did plead not guilty.
31:04🔗
Adam
Plead bargain. I mean, the kidnapping, you got to go, you got to go roofy. I'm leaning toward roofy.
31:11🔗
Adam
No, but I just mean the two people to have sex, you got to get two people into the vein. You know what I'm saying? All right. So anyway.
31:19🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I would say whatever the smoothest way to work it into the conversation at Thanksgiving is. That's.
31:26🔗
Caller
Yeah. And it's not even his dad. It's his stepdad. So you see what I'm saying? It's just a really messed up situation. All right. I come from a home where my parents have been married for almost 30 years. You know what I'm saying? I don't know how to deal with this.
31:42🔗
Caller
Well, my question for you is basically it's causing a lot of problems, like the first major problem in our marriage, because he's mad at me that I don't want to go around them, but I'm really creeped out. And I told him I just need time to settle down. But he's like, oh, I'll tell him to call them about something, and he'll be like, you call and ask them. And I don't even want to talk to them. I'm just really nervous, like I'm really creeped out.
32:07🔗
Caller
The way he deals with it is, oh, somebody probably made something up. And I try to explain to him that I have a little bit more faith in our judicial system than that, that they have to have some kind of evidence to bring it that far.
32:18🔗
Drew
Here's the bottom line is your husband has affection for these people. They're his parents, and he believes they're rehabilitated in some fashion. He wants you to kind of relax and try to make a family out of this. Maybe you ought to talk with them. Not at Thanksgiving, maybe Christmas morning.
32:40🔗
Caller
No, he doesn't want me to tell anybody. He doesn't know I'm calling the show tonight, but I mean, he doesn't want me to talk to them.
32:51🔗
Caller
That's what I'm saying, I don't want my kids around them unsupervised. That creeps me out, because I don't know what he did.
32:57🔗
Adam
I haven't said this in a while, but you got to get a drifter to kill him. I mean, it's the only way to satisfactorily resolve this thing. You really do.
33:07🔗
Drew
I would think that, yes, probably the smartest thing is not to have kids alone with this guy, but still to try to have familial sort of cohesion here. I think you need a chance to get explanation from the guy by yourself. I was just talking to you.
33:19🔗
Adam
That's right. She's going to go there for Thanksgiving. She's going to have a couple of hot toddies. Her mouth's going to loosen up and it's going to get weird. Super freaky weird. See, this is why I don't talk to my parents. And don't put the name in the computer.
33:39🔗
Adam
All right. Seth MacFarlane is here tonight. The family guy is coming out soon, but we don't have a firm date.
33:48🔗
Seth MacFarlane
We don't have an exact date. It's we're thinking either May or March. They haven't really locked in on a date yet.
33:55🔗
Adam
The American dad is coming out right after the Super Bowl. So that date, that Sunday, that very Sunday is locked in. I'm actually doing a animated show called Drawn Together.
34:58🔗
Loveline is brought to you by the Sony Network Walkman player with up to 30 hours battery life. Sony, like no other.
35:25🔗
Adam
The Love Line. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-A-V-E-1-9-1. Brian Herda and somebody else is coming in here tomorrow night to her from the IndyCar circuit. So we'll talk to them about that. Seth MacFarlane, who's quickly becoming like a, he's taking on cult hero status.
35:53🔗
Adam
He made it pretty clear, not through words, but through body language during the last commercial.
36:02🔗
Adam
Again, even if I was in the same room with him, I wouldn't know the smoke was so thick. Yeah, yeah.
36:09🔗
Adam
People were getting drunk though at the party, running into a bunch of cartoon nerds. I got like hypothetically put in like nine sitcoms just from standing by Seth's pool for 20 minutes. You want to ask me how any of them worked out by the way? But oh, everyone's a fan, huge fan, big fan.
36:31🔗
Adam
Seth is here talking not only about the Family Guy, but American Dad, which is after the Super Bowl on, didn't the Family Guy open after the Super Bowl?
36:41🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It did, it did. This is kind of a repeat of what happened with Family Guy. And if we're lucky, we'll have the same kind of luck.
36:55🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah. Hopefully there'll be no cancellation during the, but yeah, American Dad is a show that I co-created with two writers, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman, who have written on Family Guy since day one. And we've got this American Dad, which is essentially a family guy meets all in the family. It's a lot more political. It's designed for the Bush era.
37:24🔗
Adam
You know what's gonna be nice is when they try to cancel American Dad and you give them the, you sure fellas? Because I remember last time that happened. You may want to think about that.
37:38🔗
Adam
No, I think it's good because I think, I don't care if the ratings are in the tank and you're in the eighth season, they're gonna be scared to pull the plug because.
37:51🔗
Seth MacFarlane
The only trouble we could have, it's kind of a left wing skewing show which hopefully will.
38:02🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Well, we kind of figure if Bush wins, I suppose creatively makes the show work a little better on some level. If Bush loses, the country wins, so.
38:31🔗
Adam
Yeah, but you know, all right. I'm gonna get political, but I wish, it seems like, I wish there were better choices all the way around. I would love to be more in love with Kerry, who I definitely think is a smarter guy than Bush, although, you know, engineer Chris is quite a bit smarter. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean, you're smarter than the president of the United States, who wiped the puss off. But I'm not impressed with Kerry. I wish there was someone who was, I wish there was someone who I just really liked, like a little more dynamic, who you went, wow, this guy's sharp, or he's on the ball, or something.
39:05🔗
Adam
Before he went nuts. All right, let me say this. Speaking of politics, we forgot about this story last time Seth was in here, or maybe it didn't happen yet, that whole 9-11 thing, which I'm sure you're have spoken about many, many times, but we haven't heard it. Tell us the story.
39:23🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Well, I missed flight 11, which was the first flight to hit the World Trade Center by about 10 minutes, and I was in Rhode Island giving a lecture at my old college, and it was a combination of a number of things. My travel agent had written, I guess, 8.15, and the flight left at 7.45 in the morning, so that sent me back a little bit. Plus, I was going a little overboard on the Scotch the night before. That day. Yeah, I know. I can admit it. Yeah, I'll speak. Yeah.
39:58🔗
Adam
And, yeah, so you were late for the airport. What time, so did the flight leave on time? Did it leave at 7.45?
40:04🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I believe left on time and I got there at about 7.30 and I got to the desk and they said, they just closed the gates. You're too late. And I was so fried and exhausted that I just figured, I'll just sleep and wait for the next one. And I was asleep and I heard some commotion in the next room and I went in. There was a TV on and the first plane had hit and they announced the.
40:37🔗
Adam
I would have done that. All right. So you're just sleeping in the lounge. And now were you arguing with the person? I mean, like I throw fits at the, I demand to be led on this plane.
40:47🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I didn't. And I, you know, I've only done that a couple times. I'm kind of non-confrontational. Like I'm, you know, I'm usually, you know, usually relaxed enough and fine, whatever. I'll take the next flight. But it's, no, I just, you know, I just kind of said fine, I'll take the 11 o'clock and just wait it.
41:10🔗
Seth MacFarlane
No, no, not until about 15 minutes later and they announced the flight and I turned the guy next to me and I said, my God, that was the flight I was supposed to be on. How did that feel? It was surreal and, you know, this sounds horrible, but I mean, it was relief, you know, at first, which is, you know. But, no, you got it.
41:37🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Well, yeah, you know, it was interesting because I called my parents and I called, I had left my assistant at the time a message before I got on the plane saying, I'm not, I missed the first flight, I'm taking the later one, which they didn't get, I guess, until after the fact. About 20 minutes later, it was about half hour or so that they, because they had my flight information at the office.
41:59🔗
Seth MacFarlane
And they thought I was on the plane. And, you know, so it was, you know, I ended up just driving back across country.
42:35🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah, yeah, it was, it was, it was pretty crazy. I mean, it was, you know, it didn't really, in a lot of ways it really hasn't sunk in. You know, I never really had that moment where I kind of freaked out and, you know, where it just hit me and I, you know, who knows, maybe somewhere down the line. Does it have to, Drew?
43:10🔗
Adam
In a way, it's sort of like your mom telling you she almost lost you in the second trimester or something. It's like, what are you gonna do?
43:18🔗
Drew
It's amazing, it's a great story, but you don't experience it the way you would if you were hanging it from a cliff or something.
43:38🔗
Adam
Staring death in the face. And speaking of death, just close your eyes and listen to the voice.
43:45🔗
Adam
The Grim Reaper, how could you forget? Come on, buddy. Surely it's gotta be room for the hooded man in a sickle.
43:55🔗
Seth MacFarlane
No, no, we're, we're, we're, He's, he's, he's, he's a legend. We're, we're, we're very happy with Adam.
44:20🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It's fortunate that I am not the least bit religious because I probably, you know, probably would have become a monk or something. Yeah, I wouldn't have been able to write comedy anymore.
44:34🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I think there were, I remember reading about a few others that had also missed the flight, but I don't.
44:50🔗
Adam
All right, well, mushrooms, whatever you're on on this particular Tuesday. All right, let's-
45:14🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Seth, I gotta say it's a pleasure to be able to talk to you. Big fans, it's day one, and I just wanna say when I found out that Family Guy was coming back on, I nearly crapped my pants. So, my question for you is-
45:25🔗
Seth MacFarlane
On the DVDs, the special effects on them where it says that, you know, shows you doing the double voices like, you know, Brian and I think Peter at the same time. I just wanna know, what's your favorite voice to do and your favorite character and why?
45:40🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Well, probably the easiest one is Quagmire. The easiest one? Yeah, because there's really not, I mean, it's not like, the character like Brian, there's, you know, I guess there's a little more acting involved, but Quagmire is just, it's kind of a breeze because he's kind of one note. He's just the sex guy and it's- Oh yeah. You know, there's not really a whole lot of-
46:09🔗
Seth MacFarlane
There you go. It's, there's just, there's no, there's no intense Stanislavsky in preparation that goes into Quagmire, unlike the others.
46:26🔗
Adam
There's, you mean like Stewie can be talking to Brian and will you record that in real time?
46:32🔗
Seth MacFarlane
When we do our table reads, when we read the script for the network, I have to jump back and forth from voice to voice, because we do it in real time. But when I record, I generally will do a few takes of Stewie, then a few takes of Brian. It's easier to do it that way.
46:57🔗
Adam
I love the Fantastic Voyage episode where Stewie goes into the sack to try to destroy the killer sperm.
47:22🔗
Adam
I'm sorry, Seth, but now you have to do a little back-to-back. Yeah, I mean, you just do. It's bad radio otherwise. I could get fired.
48:01🔗
Adam
The guy got started when he was a zygote, so it took him like three hours to just get to the teenage years.
48:07🔗
Seth MacFarlane
He was in Radio Days, one of my favorite movies and I can't really enjoy it anymore because now all I can see is Seth Green.
48:17🔗
Adam
One of the more underrated, or I shouldn't say underrated, but sort of cast aside Woody Allen.
49:00🔗
Adam
Thank Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Seth MacFarlane in the studio tonight. A lot of guys. No chicks, but a lot of guys waiting out front for Seth's autograph.
49:18🔗
Adam
He's gay. Yeah. Well, that's okay. I'm sure, you know, high school is a nice farm league for that. And steps right into animation. Because you're way too talented to have gotten late in high school.
49:51🔗
Adam
They're like, you just drop the stewie voice and pow. Underpants just stuck in the hair.
50:04🔗
Adam
Yeah. Oh yeah. And let me tell you something, you can always give one of these ladies a little, throw them a little voice over bone. You know what I mean? No problem. I mean, you know what I'm saying, but you can put anyone you want.
50:21🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I don't know that that has the same effect. I mean, it's not like, you know, how do you want to be in the cartoon pictures?
50:34🔗
Adam
You know what I mean? I think there's a good chance of that. If you're hot and you're 21 and you're in this town, you think Stewie Stewie.
50:43🔗
Adam
Let's let's take a little talk to Nikki over here. It's 25. What's up? Do we talk to you before?
51:05🔗
Oh my God. You guys are bad.
51:12🔗
All right.
51:15🔗
Caller
My question is, why is it that you guys, well, I wouldn't say you guys, but a lot of callers stereotype, if a guy gets laid by 50 girls, he's all that in a bag of Doritos.
51:28🔗
But yeah, if a girl sleeps with one or two guys, she's a big fat whore.
51:34🔗
Adam
No, it's not that way. It's one or two guys, by the way. You're taking money for sex. That's different, right?
52:03🔗
Right.
52:06🔗
Right.
52:09🔗
It's 200 and tips.
52:13🔗
Adam
200 and plus, plus you give a tip. What kind of tip? 15, 20 percent? And on parties larger than six, do you actually just add a 15 percent opportunity?
52:39🔗
It's part of the deal.
52:47🔗
Adam
And you have some sort of 69 discount. It seems like you would like the low self-esteem special. Yeah. Bear your face where a guy just was.
52:57🔗
Adam
Yeah. It should be something. Well, that's why I love that show Hookers on the Brink, Drew.
53:03🔗
Adam
I just, it's the black guy in the dented up SUV and he's a chick gets in a car. You ever see that show? I think it's on HBO or Showtime. It's just awesome because I swear they hook her. They just have the hookers miked up, so the camera is like way in the back of the car, so the guys are anonymous. But it's like, she comes in, it's like, yeah, you fine, baby. How much for BJ? And she's like, $12. And she's, whoa, baby, I ain't one of the Rockefellers.
53:35🔗
Adam
And I'm always yelling at the TV set. Like, come on, really, $15 for intercourse, $20 for anal. $22, you get to have anal and kill her. And you're haggling. You give that to the guy, and it drops you off at the airport, right?
53:52🔗
Adam
Yeah, right. All right, now where was she? Nikki. How many guys would you be with on a, let's say, good week?
54:02🔗
A good week, probably 15.
54:07🔗
Drew
And there's a couple of things, Nikki, that people that engage in the jobs that you pursue essentially always have a trauma history. And so people kind of know that and sense that. The other thing is you made an issue about the double standard. It turns out the double standard for men and women, not sustained by men. Men make no to the double standard, and then they're over it immediately. They'll go out with you, they'll whatever. The women perpetuate double standards. It's when you actually studies other women that go to men and say, don't date her, she's a hoe, you can't, you can't, you can't see her.
54:40🔗
Caller
I don't know how many of my friends, I've jokingly been like, okay, so would you do a blow job for like five grand?
54:52🔗
Or even a thousand bucks.
54:55🔗
Adam
Yeah, but you hang out with people that are addicted to a methamphetamine, and you know.
55:19🔗
Adam
All right, listen, okay, let me tell you something about this. Hooker's talking about what's wrong. You know, you pay a guy at the car wash, he gets down on his knees and scrubs your white walls. Why isn't that right? It's the same vibe, it's the same loud mouth crap I get from fat chicks trying to explain to me how hot they are. Oh, I'm sexy, I'm a ton of fun. More cushion for you, okay, I'm gonna vomit. Get the hell out of here. Please take the ski pants off. Or put something over them. Put a tablecloth over yourself.
55:46🔗
Drew
No one's happier than my heroin addicts when the heroin's working for them. It's like, hey, they wouldn't do heroin if it didn't work for them. That's right.
55:51🔗
Adam
All I'm saying is you can have all the rap you want about sleeping with 30 guys a week and how you're proud and it's fine and you're good with it. But first off, if you're fine with it, you wouldn't be calling the show trying to convince us you're fine with it.
56:03🔗
Drew
It will be not fine someday and that day will come. It's like any other form of addiction or compulsion, you'll see.
56:16🔗
All right, guys, here's the deal.
56:21🔗
One call is all you need to make.
56:23🔗
Call the Dateline. 877-889-DATE.
56:26🔗
Call the Dateline.
57:04🔗
Adam
That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Seth MacFarlane is in studio tonight. Seth, of course, you know, from The Family Guy and has really taken on, you know, let me just say this about Seth. Here's what you want in this business, Drew. You want respect. Seth has that. And you want to be recognized, but by the right people, not bugged at the supermarket, but have people take your phone calls and things like that when you're putting them in. You know what I mean? Seth has a very nice balance, very, very hip. People who know or are in the know know him, and he can do his shopping in relative anonymity.
57:48🔗
Seth MacFarlane
You know, it's my favorite medium for that reason, is, you know, I will be in a bar or a restaurant, and this has happened many times, where I'll overhear someone talking about the show, which is much more rewarding than getting approached.
58:02🔗
Adam
Yeah, that is nice. And before we were on, I could remember singing in bars, and we were just on the radio, and people were going, Loveline sucks. And I'd go, yeah. And I'd join in with them, with a mousy voice, so they wouldn't recognize us. Yeah. So does anyone ever recognize your voice as your voice, because you don't really do your voice.
58:26🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah, yeah, essentially. I mean, I've been recognized for, you know, maybe like once every few weeks or so these days, somebody will recognize my face. But again, fortunately, with this medium, it's, you know, no one sees you. So it's kind of...
59:07🔗
Adam
Keeping it real, yeah. Then you don't have to walk around all day and go, hey, man show! Where's... What about me? I got two partners. Where's Jimmy?
59:17🔗
Adam
Where are the juggies? That's why all. Everyone. My wife will do that. I'll get out of the shower. Where are the juggies? Baby, I wish I knew.
59:45🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I am not married, no. Despite what it says on my internet bio. No, I'm not married.
59:57🔗
Will you marry me?
1:00:05🔗
Okay, well, I love you. I'm serious. I love you.
1:00:22🔗
Adam
People do. They go, oh, you don't understand. I love you. That's not going to make Seth...
1:00:29🔗
Adam
And let me explain something. That window has closed and been painted shut. You should have got to Seth right after he got canned off of Fox.
1:00:42🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I really hope everybody who kicked my ass in high school heard what you just said.
1:00:57🔗
Drew
This is with the Cat of Ninetales. This is that interesting thinking where people... You don't understand. I love you, therefore you must love me back.
1:01:09🔗
Adam
Erin, why do you... Let me first off see if you're suitable for Seth. Why do you love Seth so much?
1:01:21🔗
He is so funny.
1:01:38🔗
I've seen that one.
1:01:41🔗
Caller
The entire episode, every minute, there's another joke. I love Family Guy. I watch it really every day because there's nothing on TV.
1:01:51🔗
I do my homework.
1:01:55🔗
I think I am.
1:02:09🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Oh, yeah, yeah. Wait a minute, let me place that. That's Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella in 1952, right? Yeah.
1:02:20🔗
Seth MacFarlane
That's what attracts the ladies right there. Extensive knowledge of old time showbiz.
1:02:31🔗
Yes.
1:02:37🔗
Okay, I'm so happy I got through. First of all, I just have to say that I love your work, and I think you are just extremely talented and also very sexy. I just have to add that.
1:02:48🔗
Honestly, honestly.
1:02:59🔗
Yes, I have. Many different photos.
1:03:02🔗
Drew
What the hell? No, because sometimes, I don't mean that against Seth, because sometimes...
1:03:09🔗
Drew
Because sometimes, the women will say that based on just hearing things, watching you work and stuff like that.
1:03:17🔗
Seth MacFarlane
He's just doing wonders for my ego being here tonight, really. I'm just good. Just magnificent.
1:03:22🔗
Adam
Have you seen Seth? If he got in that plane, he'd look better. Oh, please, Drew. Who said that?
1:03:37🔗
Adam
Seth is hot in... I'll tell you what makes Seth hot. He's a dude, and chicks don't care that much. That's a number one.
1:03:49🔗
Adam
That's what makes Seth hot. All right. And there's some... There's a sort of boyish charm to him. He's cute. I got to say that. Capri?
1:03:57🔗
Yes.
1:04:00🔗
Yes, very much. And I also have a question. I heard about the live-action shows that you did in Canada.
1:04:08🔗
And I was just wondering if you have planned any yet to do in the States.
1:04:17🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It was a live... actually a live on-stage reading that we all did of a Family Guy episode.
1:04:27🔗
Seth MacFarlane
And it's great. It was the first time we've done anything like that. And it was just great to kind of get a firsthand response, you know, just reading through a script.
1:04:39🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It was one... it was the Weinstein episode, which was the... Oh, yeah, When You Wish Upon a Weiss? Yeah, yeah, it was just the unaired episode. But we'd love to do that again. I mean, we... you know, they're talking about maybe doing something down here in the States, but, you know, it's just a matter of scheduling because we're all so busy.
1:05:01🔗
Seth MacFarlane
There has been discussion of a Broadway musical, believe it or not, that we've been approached. And I'm trying to figure out how you do that.
1:05:22🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah, yeah. Like, well, the big birthday costumes do it, you know? I don't know.
1:05:29🔗
Adam
Tough. I'll tell you that Midget's going to lose 10 pounds of sweat in the first act, believe you me.
1:05:36🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah, we would like to do it down here, and we may, in fact, do it at some point.
1:05:43🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Basically, yeah. I mean, this was, you know, we did a live reading of the show, we showed the presentation for American Dad, we did a song from the album, so it's just kind of a little mini variety show that we did up there that seemed to go over pretty well.
1:06:24🔗
Caller
My problem is, when I have, like, rigorous sex with my boyfriend, my inner, like, vaginal lips, like, the left one only will swell.
1:06:46🔗
Drew
Candice, here's the deal. First of all, does that surprise you that when you sort of get pounded on like a cutlet for four hours? Yes, when you work on a part of your body, it gets irritated. That's just the way it goes.
1:07:00🔗
Drew
It may have just to do with her anatomy or his, number one. Or number two, his maybe curves in some way or something. He does?
1:07:24🔗
All right.
1:07:31🔗
Drew
Candice, yeah, so obviously, you know, your anatomy can predispose to this sort of thing. You might want to have a doctor look at that swollen lip when it's swollen just to make sure it's not a herpetic outbreak, something like that, because that can happen. And herpes will recur in the same place and recur at the site of irritation.
1:07:50🔗
Caller
It depends. If it doesn't swell bad, it can go down in a few hours. I've had it stay for a whole day.
1:08:04🔗
Caller
I'm sorry. That's the only way I can orgasm is from pretty, not rough, but just like...
1:08:16🔗
Adam
Get a thesaurus and call back in 20 years. I can't talk to her. She's watching something or talking to someone.
1:08:25🔗
Adam
I think she's actually bringing an F-14 down under the deck of a carrier at night in rough seas.
1:08:35🔗
Adam
Yeah, semi-four. She's telling them about bank. It's an important job. She was on hold for 91 minutes. I'll give her a break. Look, here's the thing. You've made it through. You want to hear the answer, right? Yeah. All right. Let's take a question for Seth. Sarah? Yeah. You're 22. What's up?
1:08:57🔗
Caller
I've got two questions for Seth, actually. One is, can he please describe Lois and Peter's sex life behind the scenes?
1:09:06🔗
Seth MacFarlane
You know, it's... Peter and Lois have a pretty good sex life we've established. There's occasional down dead spots where we...
1:09:24🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah. We've kept them pretty active, actually, because there are so many shows where you get the husband and wife hating or not attracted to each other. We kind of think it works for the two of them. It's kind of nice that they both are... It's kind of easier for him than for her, I would imagine, but...
1:09:50🔗
Caller
Right. Yeah. I thought the last question was a nice segue for the Safety Word is Banana episode.
1:10:14🔗
Adam
Seth, you don't have to dignify that with an answer by the way. It's a bizarre hypothetical questions about the cartoons and lives outside of the episodes that actually get drawn.
1:10:24🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Just visualize the pale skinned men drawing the sexual pictures in the enclosed rooms with fluorescent lighting that maybe puts a new perspective on it.
1:10:39🔗
Drew
They're very careful to maintain the boundaries in their house. Yes. They never do anything in front of Stewie.
1:10:52🔗
Yes.
1:10:58🔗
Caller
My boyfriend and I have tried to have sex a few times and it just doesn't really seem to be working because I'm small and I'm not really a small person but I don't really know what the problem is because I've had sex before and I've had problems having it with guys that are bigger but I don't really know exactly what.
1:11:58🔗
Adam
Like one of those wings or... So Jessica, you're saying your part is small down there, but now you're saying that you have sex with other guys in the past and it didn't seem small.
1:12:12🔗
Caller
It's obviously been smaller. Like with him, it just has not worked at all. Like, I mean, barely.
1:12:21🔗
Adam
We have to cut the pot supply coming in from Mexico into this country. People are now at the point where they just cannot form thoughts anymore, forget about sentences. All right, so we're trying to figure out now, here's the problem, Drew, here's your problem. You pick a direction and you go with it and you'll just make it work.
1:12:44🔗
Adam
All right, but let Vanna flip over the letters before you start guessing the puzzle. Jessica.
1:13:05🔗
Caller
Well, obviously, they're... Well, I don't know. I mean, he's like eight inches and that's bigger than like any guy that I've been with.
1:13:15🔗
Adam
So it's... Yeah, it's like, look, a size eight shoe is not small until a size 14 foot tries to go into it. But if a size six tries to go into it, it's not.
1:13:30🔗
Caller
Well, but like, I mean, I've been with guys that are not like tiny and it just like takes a little tweaking and then it will work.
1:13:48🔗
Drew
Yeah, there are people that don't fit together though, Jessica. Some people just don't fit together. And we actually get more complaints about size disproportion than where the guy is too big than where the guy is too small. That's more of a problem, more of a deal breaker.
1:14:07🔗
Adam
Then I hear the are you in? Yeah. And that's when it's time to swallow the bottle of sleeping pills. Are you in? And you're finished. You know what I'm saying?
1:14:18🔗
Adam
So, all right, so Jessica has a small vagina compared to this guy's novelty size door.
1:14:47🔗
Drew
Some of these things are bigger than others. Some of these things are right next to each other.
1:16:02🔗
Adam
And it's like, it's a horrible realization when TV is ready to go to bed and you're not. And it's like.
1:16:13🔗
Adam
Here's the thing, everybody. Things used to stop at a certain time, like 7-Eleven was open from 7 until 11. And if you wanted a sixer Mickey's at 1 a.m. you weren't getting it unless you thought to buy it before 11. And things closed on Sundays and Indian heads popped up at 2 a.m. and guys touched a face of God.
1:16:32🔗
Drew
It was a strange black and white pattern with an Indian in profile with a huge feather dress on.
1:16:38🔗
Adam
You know what it was? It was in life there used to be the equivalent to the guy flicking the lights on and off at the bar going, all right, last call, let's pack it in and take it out of here.
1:16:50🔗
Adam
That was to get you to shut the TV and go to bed. I think that was to wake you up. Right, to get you to turn the TV off. The annoying buzz I think was so you would pop, that would always pull you up off the sofa and it's depressing, so depressing, especially the weird kind of religious thing with the blue angels doing the tight formation and the guy talking about touching the face of God. And the Indian test pattern, I think the way it had all these multicolored circles around it, I think that was so the guys could. Then it turned color.
1:17:45🔗
Adam
Yeah. Even that was played by Jew. By the way, they put the brown makeup on them and they put them in a headdress. It was a Jew. I know that for a fact. All right, Seth MacFarlane in studio tonight will take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
1:18:33🔗
Adam
Thank Hey, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, Seth MacFarlane in Studio Tonight, family guy, of course. And Seth's got a new show just coming out called Wait Till Your Father's Gets Out. What the hell is it called?
1:18:55🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I guess it must be if they're premiering it after. Yeah, that makes sense, right?
1:19:02🔗
Adam
Don't get used to that lead-in, by the way, because the following week should be like a rerun of the Parkers.
1:19:08🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It doesn't always work out. The shows that succeed, that premiere after the Super Bowl, are actually the exception of the rules.
1:19:19🔗
Adam
Yeah, and again, the Family Guy. I remember Seth saying that that premiered after the Super Bowl 2000?
1:19:31🔗
Adam
Well, it must have been early 99 because the Super Bowl would have been very early January. 99, okay. Or now beginning of February. It keeps moving back, by the way. All right, another question for Seth over here. Mark?
1:19:48🔗
Yes.
1:19:50🔗
Caller
How you doing? Seth, I wanted to... Two questions, two quick questions. I want to ask you, what is your personal favorite episode and why?
1:20:25🔗
Adam
Well, it'd be better if I do. I'm gonna write the... Okay, I already said mine. It's the Voyage. It's the Fantastic Voyage, when Stewie kills the sperm. What's yours, Mark?
1:20:37🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Interesting. Which one is that? The most dated of all of our... It's the Y2K episode, remember? Remember Y2K? Oh, yeah, right.
1:20:54🔗
Adam
Yeah, you fought the chicken out front of the store. I mean, he tried to hand you a leaflet or something and it went all over on the train and everything.
1:21:11🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Probably if I had to pick one that's just kind of us at our best would probably be Road to Rhode Island.
1:21:20🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It's the first Brian Stewie road show. It was sort of the first show where we really.
1:21:26🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It's where they go across the country to find Brian's mother. And it was really sort of the first use of, oh was that yours? It says, Look at that.
1:21:35🔗
Adam
First it says I'm gay. I don't know why we need to write a sexual revelation in there. And then it says, Finding Brian's mom. Look at that, wow. Finding Brian's mom. Look at that. That's extraordinary. Amazing you were able to read that from here. Yeah, yeah. Wow, Drew. Written in it like a true doctor, by the way. No one could figure it out. Wow, yeah, I like it. Now is that the one where they do the Hope and That's the one, yeah. Crosby song?
1:22:06🔗
Seth MacFarlane
That's the one. It was sort of the first time we really kind of got a handle on that Brian Stewie relationship that could carry an episode.
1:22:35🔗
Caller
One more thing? Sorry, sorry. Some of the jokes are so obscure when you watch them. I'm wondering how difficult it is to write them. Peter's little excited wiggle after he says the Luke Perry thing, where he goes, which is probably my favorite joke out of all the episodes ever.
1:22:58🔗
Caller
Yeah, where he does his little excited wiggle. I can't tell you how many times I rewound that when I first saw it.
1:23:05🔗
Seth MacFarlane
You know, that was just one of those, like the evil monkey, that was just one of those examples of one of the writers in the room, and I can't for the life of me remember who it was, did that and said, don't know why it's funny, it's funny, is there some way we can animate that? So we kind of acted it out for the artists and they put it up on screen. It doesn't mean anything, it's just kind of a stupid little gesture that he does.
1:23:29🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's not a reference to anything, right? All right, I'll tell you, people are dedicated followers of the show.
1:23:38🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Yeah, it's interesting. There are things that I don't remember, but I have to be reminded.
1:23:44🔗
Adam
Oh yeah, oh no, no, there's always a nerd out there who knows your work better than you.
1:23:57🔗
Caller
I just had a question, like, I used to have a really high sex drive, like I used to have to have sex like three or four times a day. And my doctor put me on an antidepressant, and when she put me on that, it, like, made my sex drive, like, cease to exist. So I stopped taking it, and it's still, I very rarely have the interest in having sex. And I don't know if it's because, like, my boyfriend has a really high sex drive, and it just doesn't interest me as much, or if it's something that the medication did.
1:25:00🔗
Caller
For about two months. I took them for about two months, and then I stopped taking them because my boyfriend started complaining that I never wanted to have sex.
1:25:19🔗
Drew
Really? That's an old-fashioned one. And that one is not known for killing the sex drive the way some of the other ones do.
1:25:31🔗
Drew
Yeah. Unless they were trying to just help you with sleep, amitriptyline is not a bad sleep medicine.
1:25:43🔗
Caller
So they put me on the amitriptyline first because it had the least amount of side effects and it would help with sleeping.
1:25:49🔗
Drew
But it's an interesting question. I imagine there are things that can sort of be residual for mannodepressants, but this is not typically one of them. It makes me think more that perhaps you were more mannachy or maybe you have a bipolar condition.

Drew
All right. So now you flip back into a more depressed state and you're still there. So you need to talk. You need to see a psychiatrist. You really do. It's not a psychiatrist. You've got to get your chemistry set up, so to speak. You need to be on a mood stabilizer. It will be much more effective for you and it won't affect your sex drive. You want one sex three times a day, but you'll want it normally. The reason you want it three times a day is you were hypomanic. Right? Yeah. All right. Neurontin, Depakote, Lithium, there are all sorts of things being done right now. It depends on who you think you need.
1:26:50🔗
Drew
But you know what? I think the one thing guys appreciate and they rarely get, women are so interested in trying to figure out what the technique is they need to apply. All a guy would put over the top seems to me is a girl who is actually enthusiastic or actually excited about being there. That would be like an unusual experience for a guy. It would be like, oh my God, he's excited about being here with me. How does that work?
1:27:12🔗
Adam
Yeah, we want that. Yeah, it's like we would rather have a dog that was happy to see us when we came through the door than one that got the slippers.
1:27:23🔗
Adam
So there you go, ladies. But hey, if the dog can get the same dog and bring the slippers too, I mean, that's a keeper, right? I don't even know what I'm saying. Does anyone know what that means? No.
1:27:36🔗
Adam
Sometimes I get lost my own analogies and I think that we're actually talking about dogs or cars. Let's talk to Chloe up here, Drew. Chloe. 16. You're an actress. Yeah. You do? Mm-hmm. You're 16. Seth is not going to be able to have sex with you for another two years.
1:28:03🔗
Caller
Well, as you can tell, I have a problem with wanting to go after older men. I have been after 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds.
1:28:42🔗
Caller
Well, I'm in a team that's against another team. And we fight in these woods. And we come across these thieves in this trailer. And they're stealing money from over time.
1:28:59🔗
Adam
No, this is... This is... It's Southern Comfort. From 1981, where they were out training. You see this movie, Seth? It's like some army reserve group that's out training with no actual live ammo, but out in like the swamp lands or something, because we're going to fight our next war in a swamp, and run across some actual bad guys. So they're armed with nothing but the paintballs. That's what I'm saying.
1:29:29🔗
Adam
Oh, yeah. You got a culture there. All right. So, and who'd you... Did you have sex with somebody?
1:29:36🔗
Caller
No, but I went after this one guy named Shannon, and he was really close to doing it, but then he said since I'm illegal, he couldn't do it.
1:29:50🔗
Drew
Look, it's normal for you to be attracted to older guys. That's okay. It doesn't mean you should make a habit of it or think that it's good for you, and this guy thankfully set a boundary in an appropriate place. Yeah. Just cool out a little bit. Relax. It's not going to be... Any guy that responds to it is not going to be good for you.
1:30:07🔗
Adam
And by the way, Shannon, gay. Not scruples. Gay. He's 20, he's in a paintball movie, he's named Shannon. Yeah. And he's turning down a hot 16 year old named Chloe. Nobody was scruples in this business. You know what I'm saying? I could see if you guys were... This was just high school and he was a student teacher or something, or doing something like that, turning down that, you might get, but not actor. That's just gay.
1:30:36🔗
Adam
Right. It's a chick name, that's why. All right, let's take ourselves a little break, Seth MacFarlane in the studio tonight. Always a delight. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back.
1:31:32🔗
Adam
Yeah, everybody, Loveline. Dr. Drew over there, me over here, Seth MacFarlane. Well, just, he's facing Mecca.
1:31:44🔗
Adam
And that is him, all right. Family Guy, of course, coming back to a television set near you very soon. And this time, I imagine, much anticipated.
1:32:00🔗
Seth MacFarlane
We hope we're on to stay this time. It's been off and on for five years, but we're hoping this is it.
1:32:08🔗
Adam
It's gotta be nice. I mean, I've started a couple of TV shows along with my partners. And it's always tough, that very beginning part where it's like, huh? And there's always some other TV show that is crappy, but reminds everyone of it, your show, and it's so sad. So the man show is going to be like the X show, but it's only going to be on once. All right. It's nice when you can actually have the product. People know what it is and are waiting for more of it.
1:32:40🔗
Seth MacFarlane
It's a very, it's a kind of an unprecedented situation that, you know, we're basically premiering a new show. I mean, not a new show. It's going to be the same show. But it's, it's, you know, the following is already there. Right. Which is, you know, makes it a hell of a lot easier, obviously.
1:32:57🔗
Adam
Yeah, yeah. And people know what it is when they're talking about it. Mm-hmm. All right. Let's take a question for Seth from Sandy. Sandy?
1:33:07🔗
Hey, what's up?
1:33:10🔗
Caller
One quick comment. In the Y2K episode, when they say the two Denny's comments, is that the Denny's in Culver City?
1:33:18🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Oh, God. Two Denny's, so we can say not... I don't even know what the line is.
1:33:23🔗
Caller
Not the Denny's, but that Denny's? Let's build two Denny's, so we can say let's not go to that Denny's and let's go to the good Denny's.
1:33:34🔗
Caller
The hurt on the providers in Culver City. But my main question is, is Stewie really gay?
1:33:40🔗
Seth MacFarlane
We're leaving that one up in the air. We... We... We don't know. He's kind of thus far experimented with both sides and, you know, he's only a year old. So he's got plenty of time to figure it out. And you know, we're saving that one.
1:33:59🔗
Caller
And then I think to myself, my God, wouldn't it be marvelous if I turned out to be homosexual?
1:34:05🔗
Seth MacFarlane
That was from the last time I was here. I remember because I had a bad cold and you can hear it.
1:34:15🔗
Adam
Well, the episode where Stewie fell in love with the young girl in his romper room class was a great episode, too, by the way. Jilted, though, at the end.
1:34:30🔗
Seth MacFarlane
See, there's that side and then you see him at the gay bar, dancer of the techno music. So it's...
1:34:44🔗
Seth MacFarlane
That was, you know, it's such an obscure reference to that William Shatner... And that was actually the episode we found out we were canceled, so we figured, ah, what the hell, let's do something fun for us. Like...
1:34:53🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Duplicating Shatner's rendition of that exactly. And actually, if you put that up next to the Shatner version, every tiny gesture is exactly mimicked by Stewie.
1:35:03🔗
Adam
Yeah. It's great now, because now Shatner pretends like, oh, well, it's all done, tongue in cheek.
1:35:14🔗
Adam
Oh, that was a good time when, you see, nowadays, everyone's sister comes out with Elm, but back in the day, if you were on TV, you cut an Elm, you know, Hoss from Bonanza had a, you know, Hoss sings the hits. I mean, everyone who was on TV sung and it would be like, yeah, Leonard Nimoy, you're doing an Elm. It's like, I don't sing. It doesn't matter. You're doing it. Shatner would just talk his way through those Beatles songs. You ever hear him do it?
1:35:41🔗
Seth MacFarlane
But it was connected to, wasn't it? He would read passages from poetry or from Shakespeare or from literature and then find a song that I guess was somehow thematically connected and then segue into the song from the spoken.
1:35:57🔗
Adam
Give us a little shot. You don't even have to do Stewie. Just do Shatner doing Stewie, doing Elton John.
1:36:05🔗
Seth MacFarlane
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight, zero hour, nine a.m. And I'm going to be high.
1:36:25🔗
Adam
You don't know about all that? No. I mean, like, Lauren Green had a hit, I swear to God.
1:36:33🔗
Seth MacFarlane
But one of our writers brought in, it was a Christmas album, and it's the stupidest thing you've ever heard. It's Art Carney, and the song is, All I Want for Christmas is a Doodly Doop. He sings over and over and over. He's never explained exactly what it is. It's just this repetitive thing that makes you want to blow your brains out.
1:36:52🔗
Adam
Drew, where have you been? Yeah. Have you ever heard Shatner sing? It's awesome. Gets into The Beatles, just like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
1:37:09🔗
Caller
Well, let's see. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost three years now, and we hardly have sex anymore, or actually it's been that way pretty much the whole time we've been together.
1:37:36🔗
Caller
Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that shortly after we got together, I got pregnant. And now he says that he doesn't want to have sex because it freaks him out, because he's scared that I'll get pregnant.
1:38:14🔗
Adam
It doesn't feel, I mean, it just doesn't feel like a 24 and 25-year-old are having a relationship. Are you guys sure? Are you deeply in love with him?
1:38:25🔗
Caller
I am, but, I mean, there's a lack of intimacy, and I've had, you know, I've tried to talk to him about it several times, try to fix the problem, and, you know, of course, try not to, like, you know, hurt his feelings or anything. I don't think I have.
1:38:53🔗
Adam
Once in a while, you get a guy who's basically got a sloth in his underpants. No, literally.
1:39:11🔗
Adam
And they treat your nuts like cubs. They're just like little sloth cubs. They're very protective.
1:39:17🔗
Adam
They really are. So, that could be his rhythm, and sometimes you can go in there and flip his metronome a little bit and get him to pick up the pace. But he's never going to be three times a day.
1:39:31🔗
Drew
Right. We don't know that about him. There could be a lot of explanations for this, including maybe it's not Elisa, maybe there's other things going on, maybe he's gay, maybe who knows? We don't know.
1:39:40🔗
Adam
Also, once in a while, there are these guys who get in relationships, and then once it becomes this sort of long-term relationship, they just become their partner. These are the guys who start calling their old lady mommy, or even old lady. Wait a minute.
1:39:56🔗
Adam
I got to get home. I got to get home and bang the bejesus out of my wife right now. I understand, Drew, you're coming with me.
1:40:06🔗
Adam
I don't know what the answer is other than go ahead and tell the guy what you want, and three years you guys have been together from he was 21, you were 22, now you're in your mid-20s. It's time to sort of ask her get off the pot.
1:40:21🔗
Drew
Yeah, it doesn't sound like a great relationship even though you sort of on one hand call it a great friendship and a great friend, you explicitly say there's no intimacy, and that's not a great way to say it. That isn't going to be a relationship that's satisfying over the long haul.
1:40:35🔗
Adam
Right. All right. Let's, speaking of unsatisfying, Leah? You're 21? What's the matter?
1:40:47🔗
Caller
Well, I'm six months pregnant, I've been on and off in this relationship for about three and a half years, and he is 12 years my senior, and I got pregnant, and six months pregnant, he decided that it was a good idea for him to leave, and he's like extremely in love, and like doesn't, I don't know. He doesn't know how to be an adult, you know?
1:41:23🔗
Adam
I thought he was in the construction field. Thank you. Yeah, I know these guys, I work with them. Their kids don't have names, they call them the kid. The kid and the old lady, well the kid wants a retainer, but I'm getting a new kirk or pipe for the jet ski. Screw it. Look at my teeth, they're fine.
1:41:43🔗
Adam
Alright, it's a bad guy. You shouldn't have let him impregnate you, but now he has. I don't know that you can draw him back or make him more mature than he actually is. I don't think you should expect much from him. If you're going to have this kid and you are, he has to be financially responsible.
1:42:03🔗
Adam
Good luck getting it out of him. All right, so Leah, if he's out, you can't make him interested in something he's not interested in. And that makes him a bad guy, and it makes you stupid for being with a bad guy. And then now the kid's got to pay the consequences. That's fine. You be as good a mom as you can. You'll find a guy soon enough. The kid will have a solid stepdad. Make sure that's the right guy. And this guy can pay child support. No, I summed it up. That's it. There's no going back from that. We're finished. I'm like the dealer at the blackjack table does this and this. And you're going blah, blah, blah. I want another hit.
1:42:45🔗
Adam
You're just looking at the back of the tight Asian ass on those women. We'll be right back.
1:43:18🔗
Adam
Always, always a delight. And look forward to American Dad, which is coming out. And I forgot to ask Seth if he does voices on, and he must.
1:43:29🔗
Seth MacFarlane
I do. I do a couple of voices on American Dad. I do the father and the alien. And we have a...
1:43:52🔗
Seth MacFarlane
We have a great cast. Wendy Schall doing Francine as the mom. Dee Bradley Baker is an extremely talented voice over actor doing the Fish, German speaking Fish.
1:44:05🔗
Seth MacFarlane
Through no involvement of my own. Believe it or not, yeah. She's really, is the daughter. We had cast someone else in the network.
1:44:14🔗
Seth MacFarlane
The production said, just so you know, we'd like you to use Rachel. And Scott Grimes doing the son, Steve, who's on ER.
