9:48🔗AdamWith Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Drew, Board Certified Physician, Diction Medicine Specialist. Tonight, our guest, Genevieve Gorder. Genevieve is the host of Town Hall, which is on TLC, 10 o'clock Saturday night. They've been pumping the bejesus out of this show. I mean...
10:16🔗AdamYeah, I noticed you hanging on a big paint can. I've seen advertisements in magazines. I've seen them advertise on not only TLC, but other like-minded networks. It's been a big push. Genevieve, you know, from Trading Spaces... Oh, where do we start? I'm a big home improvement guy myself.
11:44🔗AdamEverybody's supposed to be something. They're not.
11:47🔗Genevieve GorderThat's why I started my own show.
11:48🔗AdamTy Pennington looks good with his shirt off. He's not a carpenter. He might be good at whittling a chair or something, but he doesn't know what layout is for framing. He doesn't know about treated bottom plates and header stock. He doesn't know any of that stuff. He doesn't... You can't be a carpenter without knowing the codes. Yes?
12:06🔗Genevieve GorderWell, carpenters and builders are different professions.
12:08🔗AdamWell, well, look, carp, carp, first off, yeah, carpentry means you can build a house. You do finish. In my estimation.
12:17🔗Genevieve GorderCarpenters for me is more like finishes.
12:19🔗AdamNot put glitter on a hobby horse. Thank you.
12:25🔗Genevieve GorderI was fed up with people who aren't really what they serve.
12:32🔗Genevieve GorderYeah, because it gives design a bad name. And that was very frustrating. It doesn't give me a lot of credibility being in the company of those guys, impostering me there.
12:42🔗AdamGive us a little background on yourself, Genevieve. How'd you get involved with Trading Spaces, which I'm guessing was your big break?
12:49🔗Genevieve GorderI guess it was. I was a designer since I was 19. I'm as working as one. I was working at MTV probably around the same time you guys were for a while.
13:24🔗Genevieve GorderYeah, they weren't that great.
13:26🔗DrewOh, let's have a brief sidebar here for a second. We of course would get to go to the MTV Music Awards and stuff. But the tickets were so crappy.
13:35🔗DrewThat people would go, No, those were good seats. They go, what are you guys doing up here? You're doing some kind of a stunt where you run down to the stage and deliver. Right. You're like, what?
13:52🔗Genevieve GorderI started, I was actually, I grew up restoring old Victorians with my family in Minneapolis, where I'm from. So we would do them from the ground up. We didn't build them, of course, because they were built a long time ago, but restorative stuff was something I was doing when I was five.
14:17🔗AdamWhat did he do? Was that what he did for a living?
14:19🔗Genevieve GorderNo. My dad was, my dad really was one of those guys who was, thought they were too smart, that they shouldn't ever hold a job for too long. You know that kind of guy? Yes.
15:11🔗AdamHere's the whole thing with all you so-called pseudo intellectuals over there. Think you're too cool for school, too smart for the room. Here's the thing. You can't figure out how to make money, and if you could, that would make you smart, but you can't. You can't be a genius and can't figure out a way to make a living. You can't be both. Because here's the thing. Just hold on a second. What if we just forget about this planet? Let's just say we're on another planet, the Sneetches, Drew. Let's say we're out with the Sneetches, and the Sneetches have this stuff called the Globos. And Globo isn't good for anything, but it can get you everything. It can get you cars, it can get you transportation, it can get you vacation, get you security, roofs over your head, bowling alleys in your house, it gets you education, it gets you everything. It's Globo. It gets you everything. Now you're a genius of Sneetchville, but you can't figure out how to get a chunk of Globo. I'm still a genius?
16:04🔗DrewNow that you're not willing to work to get the chunk of Globo.
16:46🔗AdamI want to find what's going on with Genevieve.
16:49🔗Genevieve GorderSo I'll wrap it up really quick.
16:50🔗AdamMTV. Now, how did you get on to TLC? And my God, this home improvement stuff is going through the roof now, Dr. Drew, where was everyone 10 years ago when I was screaming about this?
16:58🔗DrewWhen you declared that it was the thing of the future.
17:00🔗Genevieve GorderWe're waking up. We're waking up. America is waking up to design, which is good. Actually, I was in MTV as a... I worked there all through college. I went to the School of Visual Arts in New York City to study design. And then I left for Europe for a while, came back to New York, was working at another studio.
17:15🔗Genevieve GorderYes. I worked in Barcelona and Amsterdam for a long time and then came back and I designed the Tinker A10 bottle. It's gin. I don't drink it, but I designed it that year. This is something graphic designers would know, but anybody else could care less.
17:32🔗Genevieve GorderWell, that's the year that Trading Spaces was looking for designers and it won an award. So they wanted designers from every facet of design. So they chose me and I was like, no way, you know, no way. Interior design is for really wealthy people. It's for ladies on Park Avenue who have nothing to do. And it's designing women, you know, sitting around drinking mint juleps and talking about nothing important.
18:21🔗AdamChase is where you would run. Well, I would call a chase what it was inside of a soffit, essentially, like if you're running wires, speaker wires or something like that. That's a weird little stumper. I had to think about it for a minute. You would build a soffit, let's say, if you had to run around a chase.
18:42🔗DrewChase is like something that runs wires.
18:43🔗AdamChase is like an empty area that you could run, that you could pull wires or pull venting or something like that. Chase, what else you got?
18:54🔗DrewAsk him how to hang a door or how to create heating floors.
19:25🔗AdamNRP is non-removable pins. If you have doors, you have French doors that swing out, the pin knuckles on the outside, they'll knock the hinge pins out, take the door off.
19:33🔗Genevieve GorderSo why are you sitting in a radio studio?
19:35🔗AdamI don't know what I'm doing here. But don't tell me you know about doors.
20:05🔗Genevieve GorderYou want to you want to take me on design. Go for it.
20:08🔗AdamAll right. I don't know how you describe that, though. How do you describe that?
20:11🔗DrewHow do you take it on? Yeah. How would you ask a design question?
20:13🔗Genevieve GorderHow do you challenge? It's the same thing as building. If you want to challenge me on anything, finishes or texture or lighting.
20:19🔗AdamBut how do you how do you how do you verbalize it? You know what I mean? Design.
20:22🔗Genevieve GorderI can't tell you what the question is.
20:24🔗AdamBut if you were going to ask somebody, how would you make a competition if you were going to verbalize?
20:26🔗DrewIf you were going to stump somebody, what would you ask them?
20:29🔗Genevieve GorderIf I were to sum something about design, I could do design history, which is always something really good. I mean, it's just about as interesting as hanging a door. But, or I could, you know, ask about...
20:41🔗AdamBut knowing more about design history doesn't make you a better designer.
20:44🔗Genevieve GorderNo, the more you know, the better you are at anything.
20:47🔗AdamNo, all the idiots I work with know more about sports than any guy in professional sports doesn't make them a better ballplayer. Thank you.
20:54🔗Genevieve GorderWell, it's not a better ballplayer. I'm not a better chef because I know more about design, but I'm better at design if I know more about it. If I know more about the world, I'm better at whatever I do.
21:50🔗Genevieve GorderWell, that's how you apply it, yes.
21:52🔗AdamYeah, and then you rub it down with the metal trowel.
21:54🔗Genevieve GorderYou apply it with the metal trowel, and then if you want to add dye, you have to mix that in before you do that, and then you put it on the trowel, smooth it out, wax it, polish that, get the right finish, blah, blah, blah.
22:03🔗AdamAll right, I give it a trowel finish myself.
22:05🔗DrewShe's the color person, don't forget. She has it colored everything.
22:46🔗I mean, I did it when I was seven, and then he let my mom...
22:49🔗DrewRight. So, that's abandonment. Abandonment is the thing that you then act out in this relationship, which...
22:54🔗AdamHe left at seven. Sorry for cutting you off. I think worse than not having a dad. I really do.
22:59🔗DrewYeah, yeah, absolutely, because you're attached to him, and then he vanishes. And so now you have this unfinished business. And certainly your brain now is attracted to people that are like your dad, because that's who you love and wish were back in your life. And guess what? Somebody that's like your dad is somebody who's abandoning. Somebody who's going to leave you. And if you're with somebody who's real, who's actually available for relationship, but by the way, what you find was not like your dad, you couldn't tolerate that. So you'd sabotage that and you'd take off.
23:24🔗AdamWhen your dad took off, he never came back?
23:33🔗I seen him at a funeral, like maybe a couple years later.
23:37🔗DrewHe sounds like just a delightful gentleman.
23:40🔗Genevieve GorderWhat do you remember about your dad? What were some of the qualities, the good things?
23:46🔗I don't, I mean, I don't really remember that much stuff. Just watching, I don't know, just hanging out with him. I don't know. I don't really remember. I was seven.
23:59🔗AdamYou remember stuff when you're seven, when you were twenty-two especially.
24:10🔗DrewWell, what I'm getting at is A, she's avoiding the feelings associated with what Genevieve's question is, which is a perfect question. And secondly-
24:16🔗AdamThat was a good question, Genevieve. I know we got off to a happy start, but that was a strong question.
24:20🔗DrewAnd that what she remembers is being with him. What she misses is being with him. And that's what you're going to make sure that you don't get in your relationship is being with somebody.
24:38🔗AdamAnd then start chipping away. I mean, have a four-week relationship, have a five-week relationship and get a little better.
24:45🔗DrewDon't go for guys that remind you of dad or that you're super attracted to your attractions are going to be distorted. Yes. Don't trust your attractions.
24:51🔗Genevieve GorderAndrea, my dad left when I was 13 and I had the same problem for quite a while. And you look for all of those good things that you remember about your dad, whether he was really funny, or he was really smart, or if he drank a lot, whatever. Some of these qualities tend to show up in the boyfriends that you keep afterwards.
25:32🔗DrewHe deserves a little bashing here. Yeah.
25:34🔗AdamWell, here's the thing. Look, far be it from us and I bash my own family. Frankly, I'm so tired after bashing my own family every night. I really don't have energy for others. But I really do want to tell people it's okay to say that people did things that are wrong and hold them accountable for it. People do a lot of apologizing like, well, it was a difficult time or you don't know how you would have reacted. No, that was wrong. And I'm not saying, and Drew and I have discussed this many times, I believe it makes you a bad person if you do bad things. People are like, he's not a bad guy, but he killed his wife. I'm going to just go ahead and call that a bad guy. That's me. Yeah. And if you do bad things, you're a bad guy until proven otherwise. You can redeem yourself. You could go to Nicaragua and feed the hungry for 20 years and maybe get out of the bad guy category. But as far as you go, he's a bad guy. What he did was wrong.
26:34🔗DrewNow it's possible that he was in his disease of alcoholism. And is he in recovery now?
26:38🔗Genevieve GorderI don't think so, because I think one of the first steps is really contacting.
27:07🔗AdamYou got a sick sense about these things.
27:09🔗DrewIf you want to change internally what goes on with you, there's a free program called Al-Anon. You can go there, get a sponsor, work the steps, and you will magically be attracted to a different kind of person.
27:41🔗AdamYou don't have to go anywhere. Just go ahead. Drew was getting that breathy Marilyn Monroe thing. I was getting like, stepdad's son logs in the other room.
29:30🔗CallerThe room is actually like a lilac and the bookshelf that's built into the wall is like a berry color.
29:36🔗Genevieve GorderWhose room is this? Why are you painting a room in a house you're not going to live in?
29:39🔗CallerI'm going to be coming back home in May, but this is my old bedroom. It's getting turned into a guest room.
29:44🔗Genevieve GorderOkay, got it. So what's going on?
29:47🔗CallerI am actually, my boyfriend is 20. I'm going to actually be 22 in like just under a month. Like I think it's one day under a month. And I was thinking of-
31:59🔗Genevieve GorderWhat are you scared of moving in together?
32:01🔗CallerWell, my mom is very supportive of it. My dad doesn't like it at all, even though my brother is cohabitating with his now fiance in Ohio.
32:10🔗DrewLaura, you have the strangest way of expressing yourself. Honestly, you're so interesting. All the usual sort of nuances of language have been sort of tossed aside by Laura. Yeah. You know, right now, he's going to become a fighter pilot. And we're cohabitating. He's living with his girlfriend. Yeah. Why are they cohabitating? Are you living in Amish? Are you in Amish or something? Wait a minute. Are your parents Amish or something?
32:41🔗AdamWell, listen, ghost dealers, I mean, you should go to. Get out of there and go see your boyfriend. I'm sure it's not going to last. You guys hang out for six months and you come back. Your dad says, you're right. Yeah. You know, cadence.
32:55🔗AdamYeah. Genevieve has it. They've sort of you guys were like separated at birth. You both have a interesting cadence to you know, but your language is normal.
33:05🔗Genevieve GorderYeah, that's what my problem is.
33:32🔗AdamEven New Jersey. They can't New York. They can't drop that one. Yeah. The Minnesota people I know, and I know quite a few of them, they just seem to drop it magically and they pick it right up magically.
34:21🔗DrewWe do Last Night of iPod Shuffle again and 20 free songs from iTunes. The bumper you will hear is Float On by Modest Mouse, sometime in the next hour and a half or an hour and 35 minutes and 10 seconds from Laura. When you hear the song, Dial 1-800-LOVE-191 to be the first person to say iPod Shuffle, and you win the songs in an iPod Shuffle. All right. Fair enough.
34:42🔗AdamWe'll take ourselves a little break. We'll be right back after this.
35:17🔗DrewThey wouldn't shoot that off at the beginning of the show.
35:19🔗AdamWhy not? What do we care? Just give away one of those goddamn things, so let's get it over with.
35:23🔗DrewWell, here's the other thing, is that they'll start bombarding Brian with a billion calls for the next half, 45 minutes.
35:28🔗AdamI swear to you, Genevieve Gorder's here tonight from Town Hall, Saturday nights, 10 o'clock TLC. Also, of course, Trading Spaces. And what's going on with Trading Spaces? You moved on, and they're just showing reruns?
35:45🔗Genevieve GorderWell, a couple of us have moved on to other things. I still do specials once in a great while. You can't always chop off the hand that, you know, got me started.
35:54🔗AdamAre they talking to you now, like network people, because of the success of, like, Extreme Home Makeover and that kind of stuff? I mean, it's got to be shows wanting to rip it off and do it on a network. I mean, you know, big three network.
36:07🔗Genevieve GorderAbsolutely. I mean, well, you saw what happened after Trading Spaces, too. There's like 50 new design shows and some of them are so similar. It's just ridiculous how that medium in particular kind of repeats itself isn't that creative. But yeah, I mean, I'm sure the show that I'm on now will get ripped off at some point. I guess you have to consider it flattery. But I think a lot of us, a couple of us left Treating Spaces and went to different channels and Doug and I stayed because we found a good home and it's just working. So it's very easy.
36:37🔗AdamWell, listen, there's definitely, take it from guys that have been around a couple of different networks. It's nice to make friends. They treat you right. They trust you. They leave you alone. It's like any relationship. Like I don't care if it's your maid or you're the gardener or it's your gardener or you're the pool man or it's your pool man, whatever it is. After a few years, you trust people. You know them. They do a good job. And you get to do your thing. You know, people looking at you and bothering you and second guessing you all the time.
37:05🔗Genevieve GorderWell, the biggest thing is that you just have enough room for your creativity. And people let you do it.
37:10🔗Genevieve GorderExactly. And so after five years of trading spaces, the trust was there. And thus, you know, I wrote this show. So that was it.
37:17🔗AdamI was just laughing, thinking, in order to this iPod Shuffle thing, where, you know, why don't you just give it away? Radio stations do that thing where it's like, 106.7 karat, caller 107 is going to get themselves tickets to YouTube. And then the poor board op, the phone op is like, call one, call two, call three. I sit there watching. I just thought they were kidding. I just thought, oh, you wait 10 minutes and you pick the guy. We got a wiener.
37:53🔗Genevieve GorderYeah, who would know if they didn't have 107?
37:55🔗AdamNobody would know, but the FCC would close the place down because someone would sue because they were caller 86. But in reality, they were 106 and they want their Schwinn mountain bike. Meanwhile, the poor spaz that's answering the phone, the van driver, it sounds like 57, no, caller 58, caller 59, caller 60, caller 61, caller 61. How about just the first caller that gets in, gets the Schwinn bike? Got to do 106.7 callers?
38:22🔗Genevieve GorderThat's just as big of a challenge to be the first caller.
38:25🔗AdamI'm fine, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Maybe a bigger challenge to be the first one than the 106.7 caller, but the poor operator doesn't have to, 87, 88, caller 89, that's why they busted up for everyone.
38:37🔗DrewSome of that I think is the guys on the air screwing with the callers.
39:31🔗Hi. I had a question for Dr. Drew. I know you have triplets. And I'm a triplet. I have two brothers. And when we were little, I don't know how common this is, but we developed our own little language.
39:46🔗DrewYeah, it's very common. And particularly under, you know, three, in that range, sort of two to three.
40:38🔗AdamIt sounds like a retarded kid saying mom and dad. Listen, it's more obnoxious than those Trekkies with their godawful languages. And they always end up sounding like the same thing. And then when you break them down, it turns out they have eight words.
40:52🔗DrewIt is common. And sometimes it does sort of stay through time. Sometimes the reason it stays is because it's sort of reinforced by adults. So, oh, you guys have a language and tell us what you're doing. But it can be quite elaborate sometimes. And it can precede English. It could be the language that you actually use to communicate before you get a formal language.
41:08🔗CallerYeah. My brother's girlfriend actually came up to me and she kind of was freaked out because he used, I guess, during an intimate moment with her.
41:44🔗AdamYou know, it's funny, too. They always whenever they do that thing where they interview insane people and they're like they're they're we're abducted or they're part of an alien, whatever. And then they end up asking him what what the language sounds like. It always sounds like the same nonsensical, crappy, stupid gibberish. Yeah, it's always ridiculous, but it's always the same. And we're always excited because it's like, oh, you're you're from a different planet. Yeah. And then they put them on your trance and they're like, speak in that language, you know, like knee be shmeek.
42:18🔗Genevieve GorderBut you shouldn't be grossed out, right? That he used that language because that's probably the most dearest and loving language he has.
42:23🔗AdamThat's right. Yeah. But she should be freaked out that the girlfriends saw it fit to tell her, Yes, what's your boy?
42:31🔗AdamYeah. When your brother was on top of me, the other actually wasn't on top of me. It's doing me wheelbarrow. You know, technically, but figuratively on top.
42:39🔗CallerHe said, now look, he said, and then he yelled duck.
43:16🔗AdamYou don't tell. Look, let me just say this, everyone. Don't feel compelled to tell everyone you're embarrassing, weird, like, hey, you want to talk about uncomfortable. Last night when I was being intimate. Speaking of uncomfortable, this is uncomfortable. Right. You.
43:33🔗AdamYour uncomfortable moment from last night. Now uncomfortable for me.
43:37🔗DrewMultiplies. My brother, you're talking about.
43:40🔗AdamPicked up a, put a couple of zeros behind your uncomfortable moment of last night and that's what's going on right now. Yeah. Uncomfortable means shut up. No, don't go telling everyone, getting weird on them. Thank you, Drew. I know you agree with me on this one.
44:59🔗AdamBecause I do, because it would be someone's birthday or something, and I'll go, you know, three cheers for Stan, hip, hip, and everyone has to join in.
45:05🔗Genevieve GorderYou look like an British colony.
45:13🔗AdamYou could be standing over just an open casket and go, three cheers for that guy, and everyone would look at you weird. Then you go, hip, hip, and everyone would yell, hooray. You have to answer, hooray.
45:28🔗Genevieve GorderIt starts right here, right now. Huzzah.
45:32🔗AdamHuzzah. It's like a knock-knock joke. You gotta go, who's there? You just have to go, who's there? You could be clinging to life with a car pinned under a car. You'd have to go, who's there? The paramedic said, knock-knock.
45:43🔗CallerYou'd have to, you'd have to finish. You'd have to.
46:18🔗AdamYeah, no, I actually. Four-faced. I don't have any of that. No, I mean, look, you can read it up for that.
46:24🔗Genevieve GorderYou're already a contractor, but you're sitting in the radio studio. I got it. That's all I need to know. You're two men living in one body.
46:29🔗AdamI don't really have two personalities, so.
46:33🔗AdamI got half a personality. Let's take ourselves a little break. Genevieve Gorder here tonight. She is from Town Hall on TLC, Saturday night, 10 o'clock.
47:11🔗AdamI'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, Genevieve Gorder's here tonight. She is from Town Hall on TLC, 10 o'clock, Saturday night. Yeah, so what, are you out here? Where do you live?
47:25🔗AdamOh, you're out here just doing press and that kind of thing?
47:27🔗Genevieve GorderI'm just out here, yeah, I'm just hanging out and seeing some friends and going, doing a lot of work stuff too, but it's nice to be in some warm weather for a little bit. It's freezing in New York.
47:42🔗AdamThis is about as much winter as we get. And even though we've had some rain, 16 feet of rain in the last hour and a half, we still got to conserve. We're in a drought area. This is a desert.
47:53🔗DrewIt was a penalty. A penalty for water use.
47:55🔗AdamA desert. Oh, speaking of the water Nazis around here, speaking to Genevieve who shares our...
48:03🔗AdamNo, no, no. I was... I'm going to get to that, but we both share a passion for home improvement and all that stuff. I had this great toilet in my house that was... I had this all green bathroom. They used to do bathrooms in these great colors where they would do the tub.
48:21🔗AdamYeah, the tub was sort of this mint green. The sink was a mint green, and the toilet was mint green, as well as the green and black tiles and everything.
48:28🔗Genevieve GorderYou can't find that anymore. You can't find toilets like that.
48:30🔗AdamThat's awesome stuff. This toilet was about two stories high with the big green tank and the green bowl and everything. And when I bought the house, I walked right in the bathroom and said, Wow, look at this. This is awesome. I love this toilet.
48:43🔗Genevieve GorderMost people would tear it up too.
48:46🔗AdamWhen I took possession of the house, the toilet was gone.
48:51🔗AdamRipped out. No, the DWP, when the house changes hands, you have to go to the low volume, the one six gallon, whatever.
49:00🔗Genevieve GorderCould they put something inside the toilet to chip?
49:02🔗AdamOne would think they could have thrown a goddamn brick in there, but the problem is if they put a brick in, then I would take the brick out, and so they couldn't have that. Point is, is they undid the toilet and threw it in the closet. Now, obviously, it could have been chipped or wrecked or whatever, but the second thing is the way the toilet was hooked up in the old 20s style, the water feed was at the top. The way they are at the bottom, the way they are in the new toilets are down at the bottom. So I had this big channel of open tile where, you know, and this sort of-
49:33🔗Genevieve GorderAnd you can't find tile to match it to cover it.
49:34🔗AdamNo. And this sort of jerry-rigged hose that ran across and one under the Sears toilet for 68 bucks.
49:41🔗AdamOf course I put it back, you Nazi police, you retards coming into my expensive house, yanking out my toilet, leaving weird exposed pipes hanging out of the wall. And then are you the tragedy that is going on in this country? You can come into someone's house and swap the toilet out.
50:27🔗AdamComing into my house, taking my toilet apart, moving it into a closet, putting on crappy toilet. You know, I paid. I'm sure I paid for the crappy toilet, which I got rid of. And the stupid don't we have bigger questions, Dr. Drew?
50:39🔗DrewOh, they're waiting. They're waiting through the toilet.
51:08🔗CallerLike every time my boyfriend and I have sex, afterwards, I get locked jaw, like in the left side of my jaw, and it lasts for about a half an hour.
51:16🔗DrewYou get locked jaw, meaning your jaw locks open?
51:19🔗CallerNo, like closed, and when I open it, it pops really.
51:23🔗DrewSo you get spasm of the muscles controlling your jaw?
51:29🔗CallerNot really. It's like it locks, and I can't open it. And if I try to open that, the force in it just kind of pops.
51:40🔗DrewWell, obviously, it's the oral sex that's giving you the trouble, unless you're...
51:43🔗CallerWell, I mean, I don't even do that often.
51:44🔗AdamYou can be tense, gritting your teeth, something like that.
51:48🔗DrewYeah. I mean, usually, the problem that happens with the jaws in oral sex is they dislocate. Yeah. The jaw dislocates and slides forward, and it gets locked open.
51:58🔗Genevieve GorderThen it's time for a new boyfriend.
51:59🔗DrewAnd so people get... It's the two big things. You shouldn't like that.
52:02🔗AdamI did that to a lady once, but not... Didn't get wide. It went past each other. This way.
52:08🔗CallerThe teeth went past each other, dislocated.
52:42🔗DrewWell, this is all part of the temporal medial joint.
52:45🔗AdamProbably has nothing to do with the sex. I think she's crying her teeth at night or something.
52:48🔗DrewIt's all part of the temporal medial joint syndrome. You need to see a dentist about this. They may give you a bite blade. You may well get to the thing where it locks open, too, and that's not funny. You have to go to the hospital and have it relocated.
53:00🔗CallerI can see her. It's locked open. It just like it.
53:03🔗DrewWe got that, Tyler, but you got to see some dentists about the TMJ syndrome you got. It's the spasm of the temporalis muscle. The muscle that goes all along in here, comes down into here and spasms.
53:20🔗CallerHello, Genevieve. I love your show. Everything. You're totally awesome. I'm actually going to school for interior design. And I just wanted to know, and it's kind of a cliché question, but your inspirations. I know sometimes you get ideas from artwork and things like that.
53:35🔗CallerBut, I mean, how do you come up with such?
53:39🔗Genevieve GorderWhat an idea. A concept. Well, you know, this is what we were all talking about a little bit earlier. And I think it's true in design that the more you see and the more you do, the more experience outside of what you know, the better designer you'll be always. So I always say, especially to young people who are wanting to be designers, is that the best way you can do this is to travel and get out of your world and go and experience every sense you possibly can, every taste and smell and color and bring that back. Otherwise, you're just going to keep making these beige oatmeal houses.
54:08🔗AdamThat's why I got that TiVo, by the way, so I could really go and experience other cultures, other worlds.
54:14🔗Genevieve GorderNo, not just... Hey, you can be inspired by porn, too.
54:17🔗DrewYeah, that's what I said, not just porn. Huzzah, huzzah.
54:20🔗Genevieve GorderHuzzah, baby. But you just have to take... Mother Nature is the best designer. So take flowers, you take vegetables, you take fruits, you cut those open, there's your color palette, and there's your start. But your concept has to come from something you've done in your life or something someone you're designing for has experienced. So tap in and be a good listener.
54:46🔗AdamBamboo seems pretty straight to me, by the way. Yeah, I've seen a lot of straight lines in nature, but I like that it's a weird sort of retardoism that...
54:54🔗DrewWhen people fall back on aphorisms, it means they don't know what they're talking about.
54:59🔗Genevieve GorderWhat is that called, an aphorism?
55:01🔗AdamWe're going to take a break. Blowhardism, too. We're going to take a little break. When we come back, remind me to ask Genevieve whether she thinks that people can be good at design who aren't good at design. You can improve.
55:17🔗AdamYou can improve. But I'm thinking, as it pertains to music or acting or whatever, can you really be good at something you really just aren't good at?
56:51🔗DrewJust when you're having oral sex with a buddy.
56:53🔗AdamI do, yeah. No, I get, I'll tell you what you get. What you get is you get a nice mouthful of sawdust. You know, you get the cotton mouth, although it's been raining so much over the last few months in Los Angeles, and it's so humid that you just don't really, if you never.
57:29🔗Genevieve GorderI do that in every hotel room. Oh, you do? Because it's really bad traveling.
57:33🔗AdamI heard somebody, I think Dickie from the Boss Tones, I don't know why, I think it's him, told me that before you go to bed, especially, you know, we used to go to Vegas a lot to crank anchors. You go to Vegas and like I said, during the summer, it's just, it's so dry. He said, take a glass of water, a couple of glasses, just dump it on the carpet right by the edge of the bed. It just evaporates all night.
58:16🔗AdamOh, oh, oh, yeah. Before we left off, I was asking Genevieve about style or taste or design. And if you think people can- If someone can get it, who doesn't obviously get it, you know, are you born with it? You think like you are like a musical. Doesn't people have a musical ear or a green thumb or something like that?
58:42🔗Genevieve GorderThat's true. I was a teacher, design professor for a couple of years as well. And I think that we're hardest at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. And I think one of the hardest things, and I actually said it to a couple of students, because I know it would be harder to hear after they were out of school. But sometimes you're not meant to be what you go to school for.
59:03🔗Genevieve GorderTerribly. And, you know, of course they're not going to be happy about it, but I hope that they come back ten years later and say, you know, thank you, because you would have wasted a lot of years of your life and you would have had a lot of rejection.
59:14🔗CallerKeep waiting. That's not going to happen.
59:18🔗Genevieve GorderI mean, design is something I think that's pretty intuitive. There is no, like, you can't ask me a question or stump me because there is no right or wrong answer, per se. It isn't a literal science, but I think you're born with an eye or you're not.
59:32🔗Genevieve GorderYou see the world through design or you don't.
59:35🔗AdamI agree, but there's a lot of people that think they're born with the eye and don't realize they don't have the eye. There's a lot of people where it's an attractive life to them. Oh, an interior designer.
59:53🔗AdamWell, there's nothing. You see, it's sort of like actors in the sense that someone can be banging their head up against the wall for 20 years in this town, and there's nobody who could tell them they can't do it. This is sort of one of those things too, but also you see people that just have done horrible jobs in their own homes.
1:00:10🔗DrewI bet there are people like your mom that go, well, that's your idea of good design. Well, mine is something else.
1:00:16🔗Genevieve GorderExactly. If it makes them happy in their own home, let it go, but if they're trying to be a decorator or a designer, and do it to other people, then you got to say something, but there's a big difference between decorator and designer, and decorator is more of a hobby. Design, you're trained, and there are definitely rules that you know, this color will work with that color, it's just a given, and decorators may know this. Designers try and break new ideas through, and design bigger structures and bigger concepts than just the aesthetics, just the superficial. Does that make sense? No.
1:01:24🔗Genevieve GorderIf I were a car, that's what I would be.
1:01:26🔗DrewBut, but you would like the form, not necessarily the functional aspects of that.
1:01:30🔗Genevieve GorderWell, form and function make, married together beautifully make a good design. To the great form and terrible function is still bad design. It has to work.
1:02:23🔗CallerI have a question for Dr. Drew. Well, like my general area, what is it? I'm not like circumcised or anything, but there's like this kind of like pasty yellow thing growing and I've tried to wash it with an anti-vacterial soap and I've done anything. Should I worry or go to the doctor or something?
1:02:43🔗DrewIt's growing or it keeps accumulating?
1:02:48🔗DrewYeah, that's nothing to worry about. Under the foreskin, you got to just keep things cleaner and dryer.
1:02:52🔗Genevieve GorderYeah, it's just discharge.
1:02:54🔗AdamHit that thing with a hair dryer when you're going to get out of the shower.
1:02:59🔗DrewYou got to pull the skin back, get things bone dry. It can be yeast, it can be debris, and it's sort of a common thing under there.
1:03:05🔗CallerIs there like an ointment I could use or something?
1:03:08🔗DrewI think if you just keep it super clean and super dry, this is the care and handling of a foreskin is what prevents that. You're 19 now, it's time to do the proper care and handling.
1:03:20🔗Genevieve GorderBut if it persists and it's uncomfortable, then you should definitely go see a urologist.
1:03:23🔗DrewGenevieve sent some time over to the sidebar.
1:03:26🔗Genevieve GorderMy mother's an obstetrician-gynecologist, so I know a lot of these things.
1:05:04🔗CallerHey, I had a question. I can't have like a boyfriend because when I find out that a guy likes me, I absolutely despise him. But when he starts to not like me and thinks I'm like a jerk or whatever, I start to like him and I can't help it.
1:05:20🔗AdamAll right. That's what you do when you're 17.
1:05:23🔗DrewYeah. Maybe some of that may be just a developmental thing. Are you OK? Have you had a tough life?
1:05:29🔗CallerI've had emotional issues with my dad, I guess, but that's about it.
1:05:48🔗Genevieve GorderYes. So a confidence issue, it sounds like. Well, I think you're good enough for someone to like you.
1:05:53🔗AdamYou could be describing just a concerned parent who wants you to eat your veggies.
1:05:58🔗CallerBut it wasn't just like it was like they're a lot bigger than I am. I'm really small and I didn't eat fast enough for them. And if I didn't, I'd have to eat in like the bathroom while they had like their TV night or whatever. And I couldn't come out until I was done.
1:06:14🔗AdamI'm still not totally convinced. Are your parents still together?
1:06:17🔗CallerNo, they're divorced. I live. I used to live with my dad and my stepmom.
1:06:23🔗CallerHe really didn't get like a real good job because he'd have to pay child support and he didn't want to. So he kind of got paid under the table for most jobs.
1:06:33🔗DrewBy the way, all this stuff about dad and yet she's living with dad. Where is mom? Eating disorder is usually a mom thing. So what the hell here?
1:06:41🔗CallerWell, I lived with him for like two years and it got really bad. And I finally called her and told her and she got like heart, like she got sole custody of me.
1:06:51🔗AdamWhy? Listen, most little girls don't move away with dad when the parents get divorced. They stay with mom. What's up with mom? She's alcoholic, drug addict. What's up with her?
1:07:01🔗CallerIt's just I didn't get along with her. Like we saw things very differently and she thought it'd be best to live with my dad for a while. But it didn't work out.
1:07:08🔗AdamWell, okay. And sorry for sounding like an a-hole, Tori, but so far it sounds like you're the one who's the pain in the ass of the group. You didn't get along with your mom. You didn't get along with your dad. Your dad wanted you to eat faster.
1:07:20🔗DrewYeah. First of all, you're in denial about what's ever going on with your mom because the moms don't go, why don't you just go hang out with dad? You're a little bit tough to deal with.
1:07:30🔗DrewNo way. Something's wrong with your mom.
1:07:32🔗AdamYeah. All right, hold on. We got to bash on mom. Something very wrong with mom. Most moms would, you know, you'd have to pry them from the hands of their mother.
1:07:43🔗DrewAnd to go live with an abusive a-hole dad.
1:07:45🔗Genevieve GorderSend their daughter to their father.
1:07:46🔗DrewAn a-hole dad, everyone knew was an a-hole.
1:08:06🔗AdamAnd either mom was into drugs or booze or something, or mom is just not a very good person.
1:08:13🔗DrewThere's two options for mom. Intrusive, awful narcissist that drove you away and then didn't care when you left, or a drug addict who didn't feel anything.
1:08:22🔗AdamI thought you were going to say secret agent or a world traveler.
1:08:24🔗DrewAgent 99, yes, she could be a world traveler.
1:08:29🔗AdamWhat was, tell us the truth about your mom.
1:08:32🔗CallerI don't really know. She had me when she was really young, so she wasn't ready to be a mother. She just came into it, so she didn't really know how to raise me that well.
1:08:41🔗DrewWell, this is where your more profound emotional problem is coming from. The dad is a pain in the neck. I understand that, but you would have managed that if you'd had an adequate attachment to mom.
1:09:34🔗Genevieve GorderWhat it seems like, I mean, it's obvious why she doesn't, why guys that like her, she doesn't like because it doesn't seem like either of her parents are very involved or like her.
1:09:43🔗DrewRight. So it would, it would, it would A, do two things. Yeah. It would expose her to a real relationship, which would be heavy. And two, it would stand out in bold relief against the kind of caretaking she actually got. Wow. Which was painful and awful. All right.
1:09:56🔗AdamTori. Yeah. You should not be a fan of your dad's, but here's the thing. Your mom deserves an equal amount of your hatred as well.
1:10:07🔗AdamI would say more. I don't know why people have to pick a side, you know, like, oh, I have a Declare a major in the parent department. I have a metric ton of crap to give somebody. I'm going to give it to my mom, to mom or dad. No, break it in half. Give them a thousand pounds, give them a thousand.
1:10:22🔗DrewYou hear Adam, he gives it to both his parents all the time. And his grandmother gets a fair share. And your sister and step mom.
1:10:27🔗AdamIt wouldn't be fair to the one I wasn't abusing.
1:10:30🔗Genevieve GorderBut don't focus on all the people you hate. Move on and evolve from this. If your grandma's cool, chill with Grams and move on. Let your parents do their thing. They're not helping you out.
1:10:41🔗AdamYeah, here's this impossible, good words, but physically impossible.
1:10:46🔗DrewIf you have an illness, meaning a life-threatening illness, i.e. bulimia or anorexia, make sure that's being adequately treated, okay? Yeah.
1:10:55🔗AdamAll right, Tori, and just, here's the thing, you're 17, start making friends, rely on your female friends.
1:11:16🔗AdamStay with your friends, don't get pregnant. Remember, all guys aren't your dad, but don't look for guys to do things for you, to make you feel a certain way. You feel good about yourself through accomplishments, school, after school stuff, friendships, college, all that stuff, not because guys want to F you.
1:12:08🔗AdamDonovan, you throw 11 interceptions in the first half. Do you think that, you think that hurt the team's chances of winning? No, not at all.
1:12:16🔗DrewAnd then he says, and then he repeats the question.
1:12:19🔗CallerI gotta say though, the interceptions probably hurt us.
1:13:05🔗Genevieve GorderAnyone says that they get hanged up on tonight?
1:13:08🔗AdamI was so startled, I jumped so high, I hit my head on an airplane wing, literally, literally, literally hit my head on an airplane wing, literally, literally did it.
1:13:16🔗Genevieve GorderThere's no grammar anymore in these schools.
1:13:18🔗AdamYeah. I know people have f-ed out literally.
1:13:40🔗CallerAll right. I was just looking in the dictionary and Huzzah came about in like 1573, so that's earliest, and then that turned into hurrah around 1716, and then they don't have a date on hurray. It just, I don't know.
1:13:54🔗Genevieve GorderWe just bastardized it in America.
1:14:41🔗CallerAnd then the hurray thing is just pretty, hold on, I have to look it back up. Well, we just heard words. But it pretty much doesn't say anything other than hurrah.
1:14:47🔗DrewWell, think about it. In the mid-nineteenth, mid-eighteenth century is when New York was getting settled by Germans.
1:15:11🔗CallerOkay, so it's possible that it's just OCD and then just...
1:15:15🔗DrewAnd vice versa. And it's hard, and bipolar gets mistaken as anxiety disorders too sometimes. And depression gets, you know, these are hard things to sort out sometimes. Depression, bipolar, bipolar manic, agitation, anxiety, OCD. There's a lot of overlap in those syndromes.
1:15:30🔗CallerBut you were saying pretty much as long as it doesn't inhibit your daily routine.
1:15:36🔗DrewWell, if you're having enough symptoms to be thinking about it, you might want to look into it a little bit.
1:15:40🔗CallerWell, it's just kind of things from childhood, like weird little things, like coming up with little games, like walking to school and I have to step on the leaves on the ground, I can't step on the cement.
1:15:49🔗DrewThat's OCD. Those are OCD qualities. And OCD in our culture is something highly reinforced, right? You're obsessed about school, you're obsessed...
1:15:58🔗AdamI have, in high school I had BFD. I didn't care about anything, I didn't want to study.
1:16:02🔗DrewYou still have BFD as a matter of fact. What's that Phoebe, what?
1:16:05🔗CallerOh, they overreact to everything nowadays, so it's like you don't really know what to worry about, like ADD, you know? Oh, my kid is a bit...
1:16:11🔗Genevieve GorderYeah. They give you Vioxx for everything.
1:16:12🔗DrewNo, that's right. And I think the point being is that when it starts to impair your functioning or your quality of life, that sort of thing, that's when you kind of look into it.
1:16:19🔗Genevieve GorderWhat's the difference between OCD and anxiety? What, the symptoms, what's the difference? How do you know?
1:16:24🔗DrewWell, you can get anxiety over an inability to sort of act out your obsessive needs. So you get anxious because you don't get it.
1:16:31🔗CallerIs OCD something that's like physiologically in your brain or is it more of a nurture thing?
1:16:36🔗DrewWell, it's all your brain, right? It's all wiring issues in your brain. The question is how much of it is set up.
1:16:40🔗AdamWell, but not everything. Some things your parents abuse you.
1:16:43🔗DrewCorrect. So the question then is how much is it merely genetics that you would have had this no matter what your environment had been growing up and how much is environment. And it's always-
1:16:51🔗AdamEither way, you should blame your parents.
1:16:52🔗DrewThat's always an interplay. It's always an interplay.
1:17:07🔗CallerYeah, I'm married. Happily. Very happily.
1:17:09🔗AdamTake it easy on that guy. Try to screw up the kid. Okay. Thank you. All right. Wow. We rarely get to hang out. Yeah. We got to hang out. She beat me.
1:17:19🔗DrewWell, phones don't hang up anymore. I'm imagining an old phone.
1:17:44🔗AdamYou get tangled in the cord. You could slam it down when you're angry. Pay phones beat the crap out of a pay phone. It's punching it and whacking it with the things. Now everything's got a chip in it. It's nothing good. Nothing, you know.
1:18:10🔗AdamYou know what I mean? And it would, Drew and I have talked about this in the past. We're from an era where you could punch appliances and get them to work. TV wasn't working. TV was whacking the side of it.
1:18:20🔗DrewThat was the standard. And made that great big tinny deep, like you're banging the chest of the Tin Man.
1:18:25🔗AdamYeah. Everyone was Fonzie back then. Just start banging on stuff. You know, toaster ovens and space heaters and stuff like that. Wouldn't work.
1:18:40🔗AdamNow, you can't punch a DVD player or plasma screen TV or some oven that cooks with solar panels and convection swirl reduction system. You can't punch anything anymore.
1:18:57🔗AdamYou got to punch your old lady. I know it's not popular. I know it's not a popular thing to save. I'm trying to be honest. I get mad at the TV, I call my old lady over. I punch her, she punches the TV. That's how it works. We'll take ourselves a little break.
1:19:45🔗AdamThat's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1-R. Genevieve Gorder here tonight from Town Hall, which is on TLC, 10 o'clock, Saturday nights.
1:20:17🔗Genevieve GorderOnce in a while. They're like family to me. I mean, you know, I'm on the same network, so it's not really a big hassle. It's so easy now that I'm designing and restoring entire towns.
1:23:40🔗Genevieve GorderIs it something you used to put siding on?
1:23:43🔗AdamNo. A collar tie is used in framing. Yeah. They have, you know, like, Joyce hangers, Tico clips, and a collar tie would be like a hurricane strap that helps.
1:24:17🔗Genevieve GorderWhat a collar tie is, is when you have your ridge beam and then you have your roof rafters, if you want a volume ceiling on the inside, you have to have some type, instead of having a lower ceiling joist that sits on top of your top plate, it's higher up and it kind of...
1:24:51🔗AdamCollar, no, at the top is a ridge rafter. The collar tie goes at the top of... If you had, okay, if you had a truss set up, you would have, you would have a, essentially a joist going across. Now the top's a rafter, and then you have a joist going across on top of the top plate. Collar tie, you know my house, Drew? You know those metal things?
1:25:28🔗AdamIt can also be metal, but it can be a piece of wood too.
1:25:31🔗Genevieve GorderHuzzah, let's go to the next question.
1:25:33🔗AdamCollar tie would basically be the bottom of a truss system, right?
1:25:38🔗Genevieve GorderWell, trusses are, yeah, yeah, I guess it would because the trusses are made by those different kinds of trusses, there's scissor truss, there's all these different trusses.
1:25:44🔗DrewHey Chris, you had another question. All right, there we go.
1:25:45🔗AdamAll right, I'll go that as a stump, but I knew what it was.
1:25:47🔗DrewIt's pretty good. Well done, well done.
1:25:52🔗Genevieve GorderAll right, for a while now, I've been waking up in the middle of the night without me knowing, well, I guess, like asleep, trying to get with my girlfriend. And like she'll wake up and she'll be like trying to wake me up. And I'm like, I'm not trying to rape her, but I'm trying to like have sex with her. And I'm asleep.
1:26:08🔗Genevieve GorderAnd I do not, I do not wake up at all. And now my previous relationship, I mean, that was a long, long relationship. She would tell me I did the same thing, but I never believed her.
1:26:17🔗DrewAre you, are you drinking when these episodes happen?
1:26:19🔗Genevieve GorderI completely sober. I don't drink.
1:26:21🔗DrewI don't have you. Do you have a history of waking up sort of screaming in the middle of the night when you were younger or even?
1:26:27🔗DrewYeah, this is in the family of night terrors, these experiences you have, and they're not all that uncommon, and people sometimes get up and tear the room apart. I was talking to psychiatrists about this the other day. You were? Yeah, a patient was doing this, and it gets worse when they drink, but we were saying maybe this is where The Wives Tale comes about. You don't want to wake somebody up when they're sleepwalking because they get crazy, they get wild, they'll hurt themselves, they'll hurt somebody else.
1:26:51🔗AdamBecause it's funny to watch them sleepwalk. I mean, don't want to screw that up.
1:26:54🔗DrewBut they will get violent. They're confused, they get violent and agitate and stuff very easily because they're not awake. And so that's why it freaks the girlfriend out because you can get kind of aggressive about it, and you try to commit a violent crime.
1:27:06🔗Genevieve GorderWhat does it stem from, though? How do you...
1:27:07🔗DrewIt's usually childhood trauma stuff, and it has a seizure-like quality to it. Sometimes anti-epileptic medication works, trazodone works at nighttime. There's some medicines you can take at bedtime to stop this. Okay? Yeah.
1:27:19🔗AdamAll right, Chris, come on. One more stumper.
1:27:20🔗DrewWait, wait, wait. I want you to tell Genevieve...
1:27:22🔗DrewWait, wait, wait. Genevieve has to understand...
1:27:24🔗AdamGenevieve has burnt out on home improvement.
1:27:25🔗DrewShe has to understand that Chris nearly committed a violent crime on his girlfriend. A violent crime. I was doing an interview with somebody this evening who brought that up. He goes, well, rape is a violent crime. We're always taught it's a violent crime.
1:27:38🔗AdamWell, it is a violent crime, but they say it's not a sexual crime.
1:27:47🔗DrewOh, please. You got to shut the door. Come on, Chris.
1:27:50🔗Genevieve GorderYeah. I got to go. Let me elaborate on a little more. She says she's tried to wake me up and my eyes. She looks at me and my eyes are closed.
1:27:58🔗Genevieve GorderRight. And do you say anything to her when she's telling you this? Like, no, does she say?
1:28:02🔗Genevieve GorderNo, I don't say anything. And she's like, sometimes she because she sometimes I wake up and I'm like, I'll be kissing her. And then she'll kind of like, oh, she'll like that. I'm kissing her. And we and then we have sex. But then like that's kind of like halfway awake. And then I'll be I'll go right back to sleep.
1:28:16🔗AdamAnd then she's laughing, she's jovial.
1:28:20🔗Genevieve GorderLast night, I had she had tried to wake me up. And like sometimes I'll wake up and my clothes are off. And I'll be like, how did this happen? I won't even know what's going on. I'll be like, did you take off my shirt? And she's like, no, I didn't.
1:28:31🔗DrewOh, Chris, that changes everything. That's a totally different story than what I just explained to you for 10 minutes.
1:28:35🔗CallerAll right. Having a good time. All right.
1:29:08🔗Genevieve GorderNo, you kind of have to make like a little like, let's say for instance, like a little hump to make the water flow into a certain...
1:29:17🔗Genevieve GorderI think you just got stumped by a sleepwalker.
1:29:18🔗AdamI think it's also a cricket. I think the cricket too is that the framing on top of the top plate at the end of like a pointed roof on a gable wall too. I think that... I think you can classify that as a cricket wall too.
1:29:30🔗CallerYou're saying to move the wall around. All right, everybody.
1:29:36🔗Genevieve GorderOkay. You know what you were saying about how you have design or not? I just graduated. I got an architectural degree. And when you go through college for five years and all this kind of stuff for learning design, they don't teach you design. They never say that this is how it is. It's kind of like you have to learn yourself.
1:29:52🔗Genevieve GorderEspecially with architecture.
1:29:53🔗Genevieve GorderIt's really like an open-ended question.
1:29:56🔗Genevieve GorderIt is something you have to feel and you have to have, you know, an intuitive sense about it. But I think especially with architecture students, it's so important to integrate design into your learnings because you're going to be working with designers for the rest of your life, too, if you're going to be in architecture. But you know, all I can say is...
1:30:14🔗Genevieve GorderIt's really one of those things like, you know, you find yourself fighting with... The teachers don't tell you anything. The professors don't tell you. You have to find it your own way. And that's kind of like either have it or you don't, like Adam was saying.
1:30:24🔗Genevieve GorderBecause the teachers want to have a reason for being there, saying there's a right way to do it or wrong way. And I'm going to teach you how to do it. That kind of validates their position. And you have to have guidance. But you're right. You have to be told that it has to come from within. And then you have to find your own way. Huzzah. Huzzah.
1:30:39🔗CallerYeah, I'm here. I have the definite final answer out of the QPB Word and Phrase Origin Book.
1:30:45🔗DrewOh, yeah. I've seen that on Webster. Oh, really? Yeah.
1:30:48🔗CallerThis starts with the initials of the Latin words, hirs solum est perdita, which means Jerusalem is destroyed. And it's like three sentences, so bear with me. German nights, not a very bright bunch, were supposed to have known this and shouted hip hip when they hunted Jews in the persecutions of the Middle Ages. Hurrah, by the same imagine, is said to be a corruption of the Slavonic word for paradise, haraj. Therefore, if you shout hip hip hurrah, you're supposedly saying Jerusalem is destroyed, or the infidels are destroyed, and we are on the road to paradise. The phrase doesn't date back earlier than the 18th century. And the exclamation hip hip hip, also, or huzzah, an imitative sound expression of joy and enthusiasm.
1:31:40🔗AdamSo huzzah is an imitative sound expression.
1:31:52🔗CallerIt's the most politically incorrect thing, I think, you could possibly say, but yeah, it dates back to German knights who didn't quite get what they were saying.
1:32:07🔗AdamYeah, great times. Good work there. Been boisy.
1:32:10🔗Genevieve GorderI think we should just say a word.
1:32:12🔗AdamWe're going to take ourselves a little break. Genevieve Gorder here tonight from Town Hall, Saturday, Saturday nights, 10 o'clock on TLC. And we'll be right back after this.
1:32:26🔗CallerLoveline, Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:34:03🔗Yeah, I'm just wondering if it's possible to have postpartum depression if you're not actually a biological parent, I mean, as a nanny.
1:34:12🔗DrewNo, that the postpartum depression is specifically a biological response to the profound hormonal and biological changes of pregnancy. So you can't, now if you're around somebody with postpartum depression, you can get pulled into the, I mean, depression can be sort of, let's call it contagious, for lack of a better word. And there's no doubt that the stress of child rearing can cause people depression and it being around babies can be very evocative of any deficiencies of your own childhood and pull you into depression.
1:34:41🔗AdamSo what, you have to leave children you've been nannying for?
1:34:46🔗No, I'm not, I'm not, no plan on leaving them anytime soon, but my boss just had a new baby and it's just been really overwhelming and I've noticed that I've started to feel really depressed and kind of well overwhelmed, it's hard.
1:35:03🔗DrewWell, that's not postpartum, that's just being overwhelmed.
1:35:05🔗AdamYeah, it's a nanny and somebody threw another, you were juggling three balls, someone threw a fourth one in there.
1:35:11🔗Yeah, definitely, definitely. I was just talking to a friend of mine and she was like, kind of joking around, she was like, oh, you probably have postpartum depression, I was wondering if that's actually possible.
1:35:20🔗DrewNo, but if the mom has postpartum depression, you could sort of get pulled into it.
1:35:24🔗AdamHow's the nanny stuff work? Is that a cool gig?
1:35:28🔗It's a lot of fun. And it has its ups and downs, definitely. It's hard to kind of...
1:35:34🔗AdamI would make my nanny wear a cape. Remember Phoebe Figuerlilli from Nanny and the Professor? Yes. She actually had like a cape. She was a proper nanny. Nobody wears capes anymore. I would make her wear a cape. Well, I don't know if it was a cape, but it was like a poncho-y cape-y thing.
1:35:50🔗DrewI'd make her wear an umbrella with a parrot head on it, and a little pill hat.
1:35:55🔗Genevieve GorderWhy did you become a nanny?
1:35:57🔗Well, I started a few years ago just to move. I went out to New York for a while, and I thought it would be fun. I don't know. I've always been around children. I come from a really large family.
1:36:30🔗AdamOkay. I say you get a cape. And remember naming the professor, she would wear a cape and she'd wear like a, almost like a English writing type of hard hat.
1:37:33🔗CallerWell, we found out she was pregnant, and we decided on having an abortion, and it's kind of been a really bad situation for the both of us all together. Her parents flipped out and called her nasty and told me to get out of her life, and we ended up going through with it, and we got the MIFEPREX and the Cytotec and did the medical abortion.
1:38:10🔗CallerAnd we went back a couple of days after that, and they had to do the surgical abortion to stop the bleeding because she was bleeding too heavy. And just tonight we had an extra pregnancy test laying around, and I told her for the hell of it, take it, and it came back positive.
1:38:28🔗DrewWell, it makes you wonder whether there's still some retained stuff in there. I don't know off the top of my head the half-life, but what that test for is beta-HCG, which is something produced by the placenta. And I'm not sure how long that stays in your system after the products of conception are removed, but it does make you worry that maybe there's a remaining tubal pregnancy or something left behind in the uterus. So you had to call and ask them, I don't know the half-life of the beta-HCG offhand.
1:38:56🔗CallerWe wanted to thank you too because part of the reason we were smart enough to make our decision was from listening to you for a long time.
1:39:39🔗Genevieve GorderWell, not for a check up, though.
1:39:41🔗CallerOh, well, I don't know about that. That's not what we want.
1:39:43🔗AdamAbortion run for I could have got you same abortion for 375. Same abortion. Same one, literally. You got to shop it around. Plus, I could have chewed them down to 350. I could have done that. Drew, you would have been in there. You would have been like 450.
1:39:58🔗CallerI'll do it myself. Come on. I'll give you 400 cash.
1:40:11🔗AdamAll right. All right. So, Mike, next time, don't tell her parents you're pregnant until you figure out, you know, whether you want to get the abortion or not.
1:40:21🔗Genevieve GorderYou guys are also 21 and 24, so it's really your business.
1:42:23🔗DrewWhere's the name of the winner? Terry Field, Las Vegas.
1:42:27🔗AdamGod bless you, buddy. You got yourself an iPod. Town Hall, everybody. 10 o'clock, TLC, Saturday night. Go out and watch that. A delight, Genevieve. Thank you.
1:42:39🔗Genevieve GorderIt's a pleasure being here tonight.
1:42:40🔗AdamHuzzah. Our pleasure, and huzzah. I want to thank engineer Anderson for doing a great job, engineer Chris for doing a great job, engineer Michelle for doing a great job. I want to thank producer Anne and junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, producer Lauren for doing a great job. And I don't know if you're keeping track, but I knocked like 11 juniors off from last week. So she's really working way up. 170 people between her and producer Anne now. And Brian for doing a great job on the phones. And if I haven't, thank you. Corey?
1:43:16🔗DrewWasn't Corey on the phones? Who else was on the phones this week?
1:43:18🔗AdamThat was last week. Thanks Drew. So until next time, it's Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying, Mahalo.
1:43:23🔗Genevieve GorderIt kind of dirties the language a little bit.
