0:27🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody. It's the Love Line. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. Tonight from 24, Roger Cross is here.
0:55🔗AdamEventually, I'm just going to go full Cajun. Start eating crawfish, drinking out of a Cajun. You can't articulate yourself any better than that. Drinking out of a cider jug.
1:06🔗AdamAll your friends have accused you of saying, hey, buddy, every night.
1:09🔗AdamI know. I do say hey, everybody, but it sounds like hey, buddy. Roger is on one of the best shows on TV, which is Fox's 24. And it's one of these shows that seems to have built momentum as the episodes have worn on, mainly through word of mouth.
1:28🔗DrewThat's, yeah, that seemed to be just peaking like this year for some reason.
1:33🔗AdamI sit at a table over at the Jimmy Kimmel Show with a lot of smart, educated guys who get angry when other guys at the table aren't watching 24. Violent. It's like, did you catch 24? They get that in the shield. They get angry about it. Did you catch 24? No, I don't. You don't watch 24?
1:51🔗AdamYeah. It's like, I haven't seen. Okay. All right. Then if you find out you didn't see the shield, then this smoke starts coming out of their ears. But there's too much good. There's too many good shows on TV.
2:05🔗DrewThat's a strange place to be in, isn't it?
2:09🔗AdamNo, I don't know, though. Maybe, I don't know how many pieces we can whack this pie up into. It seems, gladly, it seems to be infinite, almost. But there's so many networks, have so many good shows. And I take everyone's word for all of it. They're all great. Everyone has their own shows. Although, Drew, you need to listen to me when I tell you to watch shows earlier.
2:33🔗AdamIt's true. That's for sure true. Family guy.
2:36🔗AdamFamily guy. Also, Roger has a movie coming out on the 22nd of April called King's Ransom. What is that about?
2:44🔗DrewKing's Ransom. It's a comedy with Anthony Anderson, J. Moore, Regina Hall. A lot of people. It's about a big music mogul who is not the nicest man in the world. And I'm having an affair with his wife, of course. And he's about to leave her. And so she decides, I need some money out of this guy. So why don't you help me kidnap him?
3:18🔗AdamCan't get any work done over there, but that's not why you go there. Smoke weed and relax. But here's the thing, I've been to Jamaica one time, stayed at a very nice resort. You gotta dial down your clock. It wouldn't work well for you, Drew, or maybe it's just what the doctor ordered, but you order a beer on Monday, shows up Wednesday, but you can't be like, where's the beer? Christ, it's been 22 minutes. Soon come, man.
3:46🔗AdamYeah, just relax. By the way, you get the beer, it's got a few swigs off the top. It's at the two-thirds, but it's down around where the label is.
3:57🔗AdamI stayed at the, it's not a resort. There's a house there where the guy who wrote the James Bond movies stayed or lived. The GoldenEye. Stayed at GoldenEye was awesome. Just yeah, look out. Yeah. Then you got to come home. That's the thing about vacations. But we had a couple of stone guys around there just getting drinks and stuff. But I still got a drink coming, by the way.
4:38🔗AdamYeah, three to seven years on a mixed drink. All right, what are we doing? What's going on? Oh, you know what? I saw here that Roger has a degree in aviation.
5:11🔗AdamHow hard is it or difficult to actually work for an airline, fly the kind of jets that people think of as big commercial 300 seaters and not do any military stuff?
5:41🔗DrewWhat you do? You start off single-engine airplane. You're Cessna 172.
5:44🔗AdamBut you got a degree from a college. Is that part of his flight?
5:47🔗DrewIt is Trinity Western University. They have a program that incorporates the flying with whatever you want. So I took a business minor as well. And because all the courses you take, you take meteorology, calculus, all the different things. So they're university accredited courses. So it goes towards the degree.
6:05🔗AdamAnd you ended up flying what kind of plane?
6:07🔗DrewI was flying. I flew some turbo props. I flew like a Seneca. I don't know if you guys are familiar with that. Just more small commuter planes. I was just doing like some of that more like island hopping.
6:18🔗AdamThe commuter jets or commuter planes? Turbo props.
6:22🔗AdamYeah. And by the way, if you live, did something else, their man show thing on one of those islands somewhere, got into a plane that looked like, basically they have planes. You're used to the ones you see around here. They have planes that look like a mailbox that someone took a bat to. Essentially. And the guy who gets off, it looks like Ziggy Marley.
6:46🔗AdamIt is kind of weird when planes become like busted down cabs, which they are in many parts of the world. You don't really even think about it. You'll climb in some rickety old cab thinking, if we get a flat tire, we get a flat tire. But there are planes, they're sort of the equivalent to the Bangkok cab.
7:07🔗AdamNo, the good news is you seem to be over mostly water and the thing seems to be about the size of like a Sears Gardening shed. So you figure like...
7:18🔗AdamWe're not gonna get any higher than 80 feet off the ground anyway. We'll hit like a plantain or something on the way down. Yeah, it's cool. All right, we got plane stuff to talk about maybe during the commercial break. I just watched Amelia Earhart over the weekend. I was watching the Damn Busters last night on the History Channel.
7:39🔗AdamThe boat had specially outfitted English aircraft trying to blow up German dams by skipping bombs at them. They didn't bomb, they didn't drop bombs on them. They skipped them along the water. Guys having to fly 50 feet above the water line, getting caught up in power lines and stuff. It's just crazy stuff.
8:02🔗AdamIt's just the stuff that went on. I mean, you know, the freedom. I mean, you know, I guess, you know, people go, well, the only time I feel free is when I'm flying. But now you got the FAA and you're checking in all the time. There's no strafing. So, you know, they used to tell these guys in World War II, like, look, after you do your, you're flying your Mustang, you got your 500 mile an hour prop plane there, you just do the bomber escort on the way out. And then on the way back, you just look for targets of opportunity. So you just fly over the countryside. If you see some cows or a train that's pulled, just start, just open up, just open up on it. And you see just flying around the countryside in your 500 mile an hour plane, just deciding what to open up on.
8:47🔗AdamNo, you get your ass sued. The whole country would be like a class action lawsuit. It'd be Germany versus the United States. We'd be held in our courts, but we'd rule against us. We'd lose.
9:00🔗DrewPlus, they videotape everything now, too, so, you know.
9:21🔗Roger CrossYeah. I was wondering if we could add, like, an addiction to masturbation.
9:27🔗AdamDoes it affect your sex life with your girlfriend?
9:30🔗AdamWell, I don't know. But let me just address whether you can become addicted to masturbation. You definitely can. That's really the pornographic and internet porn addiction, which is one of the more rapidly growing problems today. I actually interviewed a guy for Discovery Health Channel that had this problem, and brought in a doctor that specializes in treating this stuff. I've seen like 300,000 people with this a year, and it tends to progress. Like with every addiction, it tends to go on to other things, and it tends towards prostitution.
9:58🔗AdamWell, this one too, you don't have to go out and score. I mean, eventually you get there, but if you have a computer and high-speed modem, you're it.
10:06🔗AdamImagine you were 17 and you had that. I mean, forget it.
10:39🔗AdamYeah. All right. I don't want to talk to Justin.
10:42🔗AdamLet's have a couple plugs. Speaking of Discovery Health, I've got a looking for people who want to be on television who are hiding sexual secrets from their partner and are people with fears or aversions that prevent you from being sexual. So we're going to do a segment on that. So if you guys are interested in being on television, call in. We've got people that will talk to you.
10:59🔗AdamI didn't think Amelia Earhart was that great a pilot.
11:12🔗AdamIn the day, yeah. Well, in the day, yeah. Maybe she was a female.
11:15🔗AdamSo she didn't need to be that great a pilot. Is that what you're saying?
11:17🔗AdamYou know what? She didn't want to. I just sit around and watch the History Channel. It's all I do and I love airplanes. You know, she never learned. She didn't know Morris Code.
11:49🔗AdamFirst off, I could only- I can't spell as it is. I couldn't imagine the Morris Code. I can't type. I use a pencil in my mouth like I'm disabled. I couldn't imagine learning it and figuring out what is the- you hold it. It's like three quick ones is a C and two-
12:07🔗AdamThe classic is three long ones is S, three short ones is O, and three long ones is S.
12:11🔗AdamBut eventually, you're spelling words out, aren't you?
12:32🔗AdamThey got words? But they do a lot of spelling with their hands too, right?
12:35🔗AdamWhen there are not symbols for the word, yes, they'll do.
12:39🔗AdamYeah, I know they got love and dog and stuff. But what about if you're just hearing Fox News? How much of that would be words? Symbols for words, you know?
12:48🔗AdamI don't know the answer to that. At least half, I would think.
12:59🔗AdamThey don't exactly get the exact question. They should get the gist. Yeah?
13:03🔗AdamWell, you've seen the stuff that gets transcribed in television when they have that captioned stuff. Yeah. Some of the words are scrambled up. They don't make sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:24🔗Well, hi, Roger. Nice to talk to you. I'm recently divorced, separated in September, and I have two children. And my current boyfriend, he also has one child. I have accepted a position that's about two hours from where we currently live, and I'm moving now. And we had decided not to move in together until my divorce was final, which is a good idea.
13:54🔗Well, the problem is I'm not really good with phone relationships, and that's basically how we'll be doing, is he's not even deciding if he's going to pick up and move ever. And so I don't even know if this is a relationship I should pursue.
14:09🔗AdamWell, if he's never going to move, and you both have kids...
14:32🔗AdamWhat are you doing with him? This guy doesn't even have a job.
14:35🔗You know, I have a terrible history of picking guys who just treat me like dirt. But this one, he treats me a lot nicer. He's very good to me. He's got a lot of things on his list. He's going to be going back to college and getting his degree first.
15:34🔗AdamThat's a manager's. I don't know what, I, one day, I'm gonna really sit down and work out the scuzzball pyramid. I know publicist sits as the stone that rests on the top, and then you start getting into like terrorists and pedophile and stuff like that in the lower echelons. You're not ever gonna dethrone publicist. But then there's like attorneys, but the apartment manager, that's a whole dicey crowd right there. That's its own thing.
16:08🔗AdamYeah. It's a weird, there's a whatever. By the way, whatever rules these guys have to enforce on your thing does not hold true to there. They're growing a pot plant.
16:41🔗AdamNo, they're just going, Yeah, that's about right.
16:45🔗AdamYeah. You know what they do? Most of them smoke and they have to sit out on a folding chair so they can keep an eye out on everything and sit out smoking.
16:57🔗AdamBecause there's two versions. There's the 20 to 30 year old guy and there's the 50 plus. Right. No 40 year old guys.
17:02🔗AdamNo, no, that's right. There's old and new. Yeah. It's like a car show. Got the Ultraman. 2006 is over here. Concept cars. Then we got the old, we got vintage stuff from the 40s and 50s. You don't see anything from the mid 80s. No.
17:22🔗AdamYeah, Courtney. Yes. None of us like this guy.
17:26🔗AdamWell, we don't know and we don't dislike him, but we just have suspicions that you might be able to have a more fulfilling relationship, let's say, and the fact that you have all these crazy relationships suggest you come from chaos and you've got maybe some abuse history. Kind of work on that. Get date a little bit, get some stable relationships going.
18:12🔗AdamOkay. All right. I don't like this guy's flighty's flaky.
18:17🔗AdamJust move on. Focus on your career and your kids. If he comes along, great. If he doesn't, that's the way it goes. You set up your life, that's that, period.
18:23🔗DrewA guy like that, it sounds like he won't respond to pressure. So the minute you go, I'm gone, I'm going to leave. Also, he will probably come along.
18:30🔗AdamHe'll be the comrade, won't. If he doesn't, it wasn't meant to be. Come on, just get 22. You got a whole life ahead of you. You got two kids you got to focus on. You got a decent job. That's your focus, not this guy.
18:38🔗AdamAnd you're barely done washing the stink of your last failed relationship off you.
18:50🔗AdamAll right. Boy, do I have questions. Boy, I would love to talk to your idiot boss.
18:55🔗AdamDo you have anything to do with the freeway signs that are here in Los Angeles that light up to give you sort of information about traffic downstream?
19:12🔗You know, you can call. There is an 800 number in the phone book, any phone book, and you can call and make a complaint or a request.
19:20🔗AdamI'm sure. I'm sure. All right. I'm sure it's going to fix it all. All right. Really, I want to know about the left turn arrows, too, that do nothing as well, once it turned red.
19:36🔗AdamWell, no, I mean, just Los Angeles, too.
19:38🔗AdamOh, I went down to visit our old studios at Westwood One. You have got to take a drive down that street. There's an arrow every 20 yards. They put like 18 more lights in. It was distressing. I thought like Christmas, like like Vegas. They're all lit up with with streetlights.
19:55🔗AdamWell, here's here's what happened. Let me explain. The the proud, proud people of the government are the city officials in Culver City. Culver is Culver City's Culver's. I think it's an Indian word meaning you rock. Waiting for the goddamn signal to change when there's no traffic coming, loosely translated as we talked about earlier. But here's what happened. They spearheaded the whole useless arrow thing, the whole part where the arrow turns green. Roger is a man who likes to fly. You're probably a guy who likes to drive and make a little time too. Yeah. The whole thing about the left turn arrows in this city is, they should turn green and let you turn left. But then they should just go to nothing when your light is green.
20:42🔗AdamWhen your light is green. Yield on oncoming traffic.
20:50🔗AdamAnd the one after. Why can't you turn here? So here's the thing. But they turn red. So you just sit there waiting to be T-boned or carjacked by a drunk driver. You just wait to be carjacked and you have to wait for the whole, you have to wait for the thing to cycle again and go through again. You're just sitting there. Now if you drive home at 1230 at night like we do, there's no, I can see the earth curving.
21:13🔗AdamAnd no traffic and the light is green, I could easily turn, but the arrow is red. But here's what happened, Drew. Culver City, who pioneered the red arrow long before-
21:25🔗AdamI'm not sure they pioneered it, but they perfected it.
21:30🔗AdamNo, when we used to work over there eight years ago and I was complaining about it, there weren't all over the city. They had the market cornered in the stupid useless red arrow thing. So what happened? The rest of the city, well they stepped it up because the rest of Los Angeles says, why does Culver City get to waste the taxpayers' time sitting there idling for no good reason? What about us? Surely we can rape our citizens as well. Surely we can slow down progress.
22:02🔗AdamRight. And look, here's the thing. People spend an hour and a half of lost productivity time commuting there and back. We'll get it to two hours. Come on, everybody. Let's get it to two hours. What do you say? So Culver City now became a race, became a race war. I mean, I mean, an arms race. Sorry, I mean, sorry, right? I mean, I mean an arms race, which is, oh, you guys have added more useless left turn red arrows. Aha. We'll add more. Even if it just means putting them in between. Actually, you have to make it, you have to, you have to turn left. It's like an octagonal shape. Now, you go 20 feet, you stop, there's another arrow, you go to.
22:39🔗AdamYou got to go down there. You got to go down there. That's what's happening.
22:41🔗AdamI'm just saying Culver City was like, uh, your way, you think you're wasting. See, they're Culver City's like, we have to lead the nation in wasting the citizens times rotting at the thing. They've still got it, they've still got it. Now, the LA cities tried, they made a feeble attempt to catch up to us.
22:58🔗AdamLet the real raping of the citizens begin. Ha. And you know, Burbank, Burbank.
23:03🔗AdamBurbank has a different whole strategy. Their thing is, you gotta be on foot.
23:06🔗AdamYeah. Burbank's thing is, is let's not compete with Culver City. They got a ten-year jump on your side. But what we need to do is really rate the citizens who are on foot. That'll be our forte. Let's not compete with the crappy useless left turn. We'll get everyone who's walking. Everyone who jaywalks, everyone on a bicycle.
23:23🔗AdamSo if you step on a street or not on the curb before the light starts blinking, pow, ticket.
23:39🔗AdamBut of course, they have to establish themselves because they know they can't compete with Culver.
23:43🔗AdamNow, nobody competes in the Aero department with Culver City. God bless you, retards. Idiots. And by the way-
23:50🔗DrewThey'll be camped out next time he comes to town.
23:51🔗AdamRoger, I drive through every single one of them and I beg-
23:55🔗DrewYou know what? I was sitting here listening to you talk about sitting here at 1230 at night waiting and I'm like, I'm getting this man doesn't wait for that red light to turn.
24:03🔗AdamNever, never, and I'm not lying. If you could do retro tickets-
24:24🔗AdamHere's the thing. I can point my car toward a building and accelerate into it anytime I want, you idiots. I don't do it. It's not safe. I drive the car. All right, anyway, all I'm saying is, is everyone please join me in ignoring these god-awful left turn arrows or let the powers that be synchronize them or work them out or figure them out. Do they have to be that way, 1230 at night when there's no traffic?
24:49🔗AdamWhat if I'm in the blinking red? Remember that one?
24:53🔗AdamYeah, we'll just do some. Or blink yellow in the middle of the night.
24:56🔗AdamAll right. I am, I am, I, it is, these people are-
24:59🔗AdamI'm still pissed at Hollywood for trapping, entrapment.
25:03🔗AdamAll right. Let's, I'm going, you know what I'm doing? I'm gonna get some land in Plenty Wood, Montana. I've got some, I've got a lot of canned food stored and a lot of munitions and we're just going over there and we need some women too because we got to start repopulating but we're just doing our own thing. Roger, come on out. You can fly the puddle jumper. You got it. We're going back and forth into Alaska for ammunition and stuff we can't find here in the States. Pemmican, stuff like that. Halibut, dried halibut. It's gonna be a community. It's gonna be awesome. No rules. Oh, I mean, my rules.
25:39🔗AdamMy rules, but come on, those are cool. All right, Roger Cross here tonight from Fox's 24. Monday night, 9 o'clock. We'll take a quick break, be right back after this.
26:18🔗AdamIt's LoveLine. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-E-E-191. Roger Cross is here tonight. One of the stars of 24. Big hit on Fox. Gathering momentum. Bigger this season than ever. Nine o'clock, Monday nights. Also got a movie coming out April 22nd. Little something called King's Ransom and an aviation buff.
26:58🔗DrewOh, they're tricky, though, man. Those model planes are incredible.
27:02🔗AdamYeah, no, they are. They better be, or I'm a retard, because I've crashed like 10 of them. Now, some pilots do fly those model planes, and they say it's more difficult. But less at stake, but more difficult. Well, the thing about the model plane is, is when it's flying at you, right is left and left is right. And then when it goes past you, it changes again.
27:29🔗AdamYou can react, right? I just do. You lose it. You can't tell where you are. I mean, you don't know what, yeah? Jets go like 300 miles an hour.
27:38🔗AdamSomebody's gonna be a nerd out there wearing helmets. Flying right through somebody.
27:42🔗AdamI can't believe it doesn't happen every day. All right.
27:45🔗AdamGotta go to- I'm still looking for people that are hiding sexual secrets from their partners and people with aversions. I wanna talk.
27:50🔗AdamMe too. Gained 30 pounds since becoming a night watchman?
28:15🔗Roger CrossYeah. We're both disabled, actually. I'm visually impaired and she has, I guess it's the condition where she's visually impaired and in a wheelchair too.
28:24🔗AdamI didn't hear that. She's visually impaired and what?
28:38🔗Roger CrossSo pretty much everything is going like kind of slowly. But anyways, we're having this problem now where she lives with a roommate.
28:47🔗AdamHold on a second. I got questions. Now you say visually impaired. We've gotten into this before because blind people don't like to be called blind. But to me, visually impaired means, well, you can't drive or I hold the hand and it's fuzzy or I can't see things far away. But is visually impaired blind?
29:07🔗Roger CrossWell, I'm legally blind. I do have some vision.
29:09🔗AdamYou do. You do. Okay. Is she fully blind?
30:05🔗Roger CrossWell, she's living with this roommate now and she's been abused kind of in the past, like when she was younger, both physically and I guess she was raped to once or twice.
30:27🔗AdamIt's either the world's worst guy or the world's laziest guy.
30:32🔗Roger CrossBut anyway, so now we've been off and on together and now she's in this apartment with her roommate and they're really good friends and they get along pretty well for the most part. But she, I guess, hit her once or twice. Well, a couple of times.
30:47🔗AdamIs she her roommate or is she like an attendant?
30:54🔗AdamAll right, hold on a second. We got a powwow here. There's something going on.
30:58🔗AdamYeah, it doesn't almost sound like a, not bogus, but that it's a confabulation on the behalf of her as a girlfriend. Because what is in it for the roommate to hit this woman?
31:10🔗DrewOr is she abusive or is she like, you know, verbal?
31:12🔗AdamUnless she's on drugs and is just sort of acting out crazily.
31:15🔗AdamI don't want to, I would like to imagine that we don't live in a world where roommates smack their roommates or are confined to a wheelchair and have a seeing disorder, have an eye problem. But something's going on here because she has a disease that he doesn't really know about, even though they've known each other for seven years. She was abused sexually.
32:05🔗Roger CrossNo, I don't. I don't think she does either because I don't think the doctors have actually classified it. It's just they said her nervous system is deteriorating.
32:26🔗Roger CrossThey were actually telling her that she wasn't supposed to live past certain ages. At one point, they told her she wasn't going to live past 18 and stuff like that.
32:33🔗AdamYeah. But what has she got? If they're going to say, prognosticate that way, they know what the syndrome is. That's how they can.
32:43🔗AdamYeah. Really? All right. Anyway, so she's got this thing. She's an abuse survivor and abuse is continuing to be perpetrated upon her. What about this roommate? What's her deal?
32:51🔗Roger CrossShe's just, they're living together.
32:53🔗AdamYeah. So I get that. Wait, Adam, you got that?
33:41🔗AdamHere's the thing. Oh, let me just... You don't want to kick people when they're down. Your friend seems like they have physical and emotional problems.
33:50🔗AdamYes, which, you know, often go together. But she sounds like a professional victim.
33:55🔗AdamAnd that she is creating some chaos in her, wherever she goes.
33:59🔗AdamAnd Kevin, I'm not sure what... Are you trying to save her? Do you have romantic interests in her? What's up?
34:07🔗Roger CrossI do. I want to stay with this girl, but she's kind of reliant, you know, relying on this roommate because, you know, she needs someone to take care of her right now. And I'm pretty far away from her.
34:15🔗AdamWell, now, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So the roommate is an attendant. She's not just a roommate. She's somebody that's been...
34:21🔗AdamDidn't Drew ask that, like, what seems like an hour ago?
34:24🔗Roger CrossOh, yeah. Yeah, I guess. I guess so. Sorry. But I guess he kind of figured that he does offer with, like, using the bathroom and stuff like that, you know. Okay.
34:32🔗AdamWell, okay. We still can't figure out... Okay, here's the question. Does a roommate wear funky white shoes?
34:39🔗Roger CrossI don't know. I can't see that one.
34:40🔗AdamDoes the roommate get paid to accompany a friend and take care of him?
34:44🔗Roger CrossYeah, she does. I think so. To some extent.
35:45🔗AdamYeah. Sir Walter Robb. Absolutely. All right. Kevin. Oh, boy.
35:50🔗AdamAll right, Kevin. So stay with her. I don't know what you want from us. I doubt that that attendant is actually abusive to her. Keep an eye on it. If you need to report, there are lots of laws in place to protect people from caretakers. If you believe that you're even suspicious, call Adult Protective Services. They can help you out.
36:09🔗AdamI hate to bring that up if she's in a stable situation that's working for her because she sounds like somebody that gets a little delusional about these things.
36:16🔗DrewWhat about her parents and family and all that?
36:20🔗AdamDrew, what about the nurse who doesn't, is not prepared to make the commitment of mercy killing, but just wants to get in a mercy abusing.
36:31🔗AdamBut look, my grandmother is in a wheelchair and once in a while, I got to get her out of the car in the wheelchair thing and it's like, you grab onto their foot and you're trying to lift it out and it's like, oh, and it's like.
36:44🔗AdamRight. You've been abusing me, you hurt me.
36:45🔗AdamThe neighbor thinks I'm beating the crap out of her.
36:53🔗AdamScared the hell out of me and that made me ashamed of me. No, but it's true if you're helping someone on and off the toilet and they have, they hurt their skins coming off of them and stuff. Yeah, it's tough.
37:07🔗AdamThese people, by the way, who get 10 bucks an hour for changing the diaper and pulling them out of bed, and getting them into the wheelchair, could only, I mean, these people need that. There's the list of people that make more money than they do, like parking enforcement personnel or meter maid, who you guys kid. You know what I'm saying? That's the list that is above them. Yeah. They need a raise. We want to talk about someone who needs a tip jar. Forget about the guy at the bagel shop or the coffee shop.
37:38🔗AdamYou've had those conversations with your grandma. Yeah, it's awesome.
37:41🔗AdamIt's awesome. It's great. Yeah, my grandmother is real liberal. But here's the thing about super liberal people. They like to just whine, but they never bust out their wallet. It's just a lot of whining. Like I go, got a new sports car grandma. She'll go, Delia lives in an apartment with 26 kids, and has to use a cooler for a coffee table. I'm like, all right, well, why don't you give her a raise? Hell no. There you go. Then shut up. Bethany?
38:43🔗AdamWow. My penis just got heavier. It's gained a pound. Got up to one pound, two ounces. All right. All right, Bethany, hold on a second. That novelty, you know, that small back that sort of small frame and the big D cups. Yeah. That's hard to say no to. To what? And that's why you got to focus on that numbers. Well, cause that's a 34 D.
39:14🔗AdamSo you want for your world, it's 34 and under.
39:17🔗AdamWell, you know, it doesn't really go any, any, any, any much under 34.
39:24🔗AdamYeah. But here's what I'm saying. You hear these chicks talking about, oh yeah. Yeah. No, I'm a brick house. I'm a 42 D. Well, that just means you're built like, you're built like Dennis Franz with a set of knockers on you. I don't need that big back. Yeah. All right.
39:40🔗AdamOh, they are. They better be. I'm going to be angry. Roger Cross here tonight. Fox is 24, nine o'clock, Monday nights. We'll take ourselves a quick break. Be right back after this.
39:52🔗Thank you for calling Loveline. Your call will be answered in the order it seems interesting.
40:01🔗AdamThat's why I say we're not done with Germany.
40:05🔗DrewAre you never going to take Frank on too?
40:15🔗AdamPoor Frank. Three, two, one, go. Hey, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Roger Cross here tonight from 24, Fox, Monday nights at 9 o'clock and got a little movie coming out called King's Ransom which is coming out on April 22nd.
40:35🔗AdamWhen did the acting start? When did that go from aviation to acting?
40:38🔗AdamWell, I was flying model planes. I'm sorry.
40:45🔗AdamSomething you always wanted to do or just something by accident?
40:46🔗DrewI did it like in school, in high school and took drama in college and enjoyed it just for fun. I remember they had Black Monday in 1989, the Stockmore hit crash. Of course the aviation industry is the first one hit. Young pilot trying to get a job, doing some charter work occasionally and trying to make ends meet, working at a bar, that sort of thing. And then I got this, someone said, oh, they need some people to do some, like play some basketball and do some stunts on Jump Street.
41:21🔗DrewI did that. I thought, this is all right. I like it. I like it. So in my spare time, I thought, let me go back to Breck Academy. Went to Breck Academy and studied acting there.
41:29🔗AdamTo make sure you're cool there. Yeah. Yeah. It's so easy.
41:34🔗DrewSo, you know, and then I just kind of transitioned from there. Started doing it more and more.
41:37🔗AdamAnd do you know how often do you fly? Do you say I mean, not for living, obviously, but you still get out and do nothing.
42:23🔗CallerI used to be like a 34-D to C. And then once I start birth control, I just went up to a good size D. And so I was wondering if there are other kinds of birth control. I'm already on like the low hormone pill.
42:36🔗AdamReally? Even on the low hormone this happened to you? Well, the alternative would to go on the progestational types of pills, like the DepoProvera Shot or the Ultramini Dose Pills, that kind of thing.
42:56🔗AdamThat will make you have, essentially, continuous bleeding for three months and then no period after that, for as long as you take the shot, basically. Some women get kind of dry and shut down sexually from that, but some women, it goes the other way. You might be one of those. Do you have any other side effects from the estrogen in the pills? No. Just the breast growth.
43:20🔗AdamYou don't want the 5, 8, 5, 7, 109ers with the D cups drying up. You know what I mean? It's like pulling a spark plug wires off a Ferrari or something. You don't want the ones that dry out.
43:35🔗AdamNow, some of the mamas we got calling from Riverside, big loads, they go ahead and dry themselves up. The society is not going to miss them, but it's a crying shame to see. It's like drying up Bethany, it's like an athlete having a horrific injury in his prime. You know what I mean? It's a shame.
44:13🔗AdamOkay. Talk to your doctor about that. Because if you're already on a low dose pill and having all those estrogen effects, you may have to switch all the way over the progesterones. Okay?
44:25🔗AdamThere are other kinds of estrogens out there too. You might talk to your doctor about the pill with some estrogen. There's different types of estrogens.
44:32🔗AdamWe're going to talk to Frank over here. He's 23. Frank?
44:48🔗I got this job to help me get through school. I'm working in a new high rise down in my city. Originally, we used to be able to walk around the building, check to make sure everything was all locked up and tidy. But when they installed cameras, now we have to sit at a desk and buzz people into the building and just sit around.
45:36🔗AdamWell, he is a security guard, isn't he? Engineer Chris goes to school three and a half hours a week, so take that. All right.
45:46🔗I spoke to you guys a couple of years ago. I called in and I had a problem with the man boobs. I started working out and getting myself in shape and I lost close to what, 50 pounds and I was closer to 60, I think.
46:01🔗AdamHere's the thing. Look, do the math, everyone. Don't sit around and snack, try to move around a little bit. I know you got a job or you're sitting around, you got to move when you're not at work. That's right. Yeah.
46:13🔗DrewOr even if you're there, bring something in, do squats, do whatever.
46:16🔗AdamAlso, get on a proper diet. I mean, you won't be as prone to eat carbohydrates if you're on a nice, eat real food, fruit and vegetables.
46:23🔗AdamYou sit there and do those Kegel exercises.
46:26🔗AdamYeah, where you get that perineum, you're cracking nuts. It's not supersized. We'll talk about that when we get back. Also, I got to talk to people who are hiding sexual secrets from their partner and who have sexual fears and aversions who are willing to help me on a television show. Call him.
46:37🔗AdamRoger Cross, Say Here Night from 24. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Hey everybody, it's the Love Line, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1-er. Who's coming in here?
47:21🔗AdamPepper, Louis XIV, Nicky Ziering, your favorite.
47:24🔗AdamShe's a delight. Roger Cross here tonight from a real TV show. Yeah.
47:33🔗AdamJust a real show. None of that deep cable crap.
47:36🔗AdamLike you and I are doing? Yeah, like us. I've got to talk to people tonight. One more time. Hiding sexual secrets from your partner or fears and aversions that prevent you from having happy sex, call in, want to talk to you.
47:48🔗AdamNo one's going to talk about hiding sexual secrets.
47:51🔗AdamRight. That's what I thought too. Right. We can hide you in a booth. You people can't identify you. That's the way we used to do it in Loveline.
48:10🔗DrewThat'd be the worst way to find something out. I'm serious. I'm amazed there aren't more murders when I see those shows.
48:17🔗AdamI like it when they just give the guy fake name. We're calling him Andy. Don't call him anything if you're not going to give me his real name. It's not like they use it either. It's not like, Andy, when did you be?
48:27🔗DrewThey'll change his name, but he's from Seattle and he lives on Washington Street.
48:32🔗AdamI'll tell you the show. That hooker's on the point. That show on Showtime or HBO. Now, they mic up the hookers who climb into the guy's cars. They don't have cameras. They don't show the Johns. They don't show the guys who go solicit, but they show the guy pull up in the 89 Maxima with the Bondo'd out rear fender and all they do is fuzz out the license plate now. Plus, you hear the guy's voice. I mean, if they're old ladies watching the show, they know the guy's driving the 89 Rust colored Acura with the Bondo'd up left fender, and they hear the guy begging for it. Plus, they hear the guy's preference. Come on, how much for a thumb in me? It's like, they know that's the guy because he's the thumb guy, right? I mean, that's the whole thing. Like, Drew, your old lady would know immediately what you're...
49:22🔗AdamWith the thumb. Oh, with the thumb thing immediately.
49:27🔗AdamHey, you know, talking about Jamaica, it's an interesting thing. We've had Jamaican bands in here over the years, and there were two sort of cultural things that came just flying out about their sexual stuff. One was, at least this is a few years ago, a real aversion to homosexuality.
49:48🔗AdamIt's the only thing they're not laid back about.
49:51🔗AdamBut the other thing was sex during menses. They had a whole thing about that, like the soul was going to be stolen or something weird was going to happen.
50:02🔗AdamNo, no, but they really had this sort of voodoo thing.
50:04🔗DrewIt goes back to the old biblical thing, people, like religion, feeling that that's the impure time and being with a woman can make you impure, all that sort of thing.
50:33🔗DrewOh, Drew, we don't need to know that much about your life.
50:37🔗AdamLet me tell you something, Drew's a man of passion. Poor women, here's the thing. A couple of things, Drew is a basically he is like a junkie when you say, no, a sexual junkie, sex junkie, where you say something like, my god, you're using a needle that the guy, you saw the guy use it but right before you didn't sterilize it or you're scoring stuff. You don't know where it comes from. No, what I'm saying is, is you go, the guy, it's like, that's the disease.
51:07🔗AdamNo, no, but Drew, you are so passionate.
51:09🔗AdamThat would imply though that I would have sex with other people.
51:12🔗AdamNo, no, no, I'm not saying that. I just mean that your passion rivals that of the junkiest junkie. What I mean is, you have a passion and when you have a passion.
51:23🔗AdamYeah, it's sort of, what it is is you watch Survivor and it's like, oh, look what they're eating. Oh, they're a fly. No, no, no, when you're hungry, when you're really hungry, you don't care if a fly landed on a piece of coconut or something, you're putting it in you.
51:47🔗AdamYeah. I'm more like, I'm in a casino. I like some, but I'll go by the buffet and fill up. I'm not desperate. You know what I'm saying? Passionate. Passion Island. That's a good TV. That's a good late night cinemax. Passion Island. Starring like Brandy Marie.
52:03🔗AdamRemember the old Thompson Twin song, Passion Planet?
52:06🔗AdamNo, that's you, Drew. Whichever one you're on, that's what it becomes. Randy?
53:00🔗AdamRandy, that's got to be treated. It's good that she have a stable relationship with you, but this is going to be like riding a bucking bronco.
53:09🔗AdamRight. I'll wait around as close to the F-word there. Hey, Randy. Yeah. You need to not get married too quickly.
54:37🔗AdamGet her seven years of therapy in the meantime.
54:39🔗AdamI don't see if we can squeeze nine years into that seven. Yeah. This whole thing, it's such an adolescent move, just that impulse of like, we're not ready to get married, but we are going to get engaged because we want to commit to each other in the ninth grade. It's such a white trash move. It really suggests you're not going to get married for ten years. And by the way, why don't you fill out a job application for when you're in the fourth grade?
55:06🔗AdamIt's insecurity. It's like, I can't imagine. We got to lock this in so there's no chance that she strays. That'll go.
55:12🔗AdamNo, I'll tell you what will work better, liquid nitrogen. You just put her in freezer.
55:18🔗AdamYou just thaw her out in a few years. That's basically what this is.
55:20🔗AdamIt's an attempt at it, but here's the thing. Meanwhile, a couple of kids are crapped out, and then it doesn't work out so well because the condom didn't get used at the theater. Here's the thing. When somebody was sexually and physically abused by their father, it takes a lot of therapy to make them right. It doesn't mean they're bad, but to say that they're not damaged in some way, shape, or form is being horribly naive and unfair to the person that needs fixing.
55:47🔗AdamIt's not even a psychological damage. It is a brain damage. The wiring is affected by that kind of trauma and it needs to be dealt with.
55:56🔗AdamYou are just as negligent or we are as a society, ignoring this as if the kid came out down with diabetes at 13. They need to be tended to. End of discussion. There are certain things they can't do. They can't go camping without their insulin, and they can't have kids at 16 and 17 because they're horrible parents.
56:16🔗AdamWhat these kids will do is have kids and create lawsuits. That's the other thing. Those are the two things they do best.
56:22🔗DrewI mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but could this lead to a violent reaction from her possibly one day?
56:28🔗AdamIt will be a special kind of violence. It will be a chaos. It's not likely to be... They don't usually really, truly violently act out, but they sort of act out in a way they might as well be violent because of the chaos they create.
56:40🔗AdamLots of kids, lots of instability hooking up with guys that get violent, with the guys do the damage. Now, what they do is...
56:48🔗AdamThe woman doesn't actually physically abuse the kids. They just bring the fox into the hen house. They just go... They leave the door open.
56:55🔗AdamAnd make sure that they get abused, too.
56:56🔗AdamThey meet a guy and bring them in. Oh, yeah, they get abused. Fox takes a bite out of them, too. But they go out and find the alcoholic pedophile abuser guy and bring them back in.
57:05🔗AdamThey're attracted to that because that's what dad was.
57:08🔗AdamYeah, it's perfect. And we're we seem to be the only guys on the planet who either know this or talk about it. Everyone else is, hey, you gotta pull yourself up by bootstraps and get busy.
57:21🔗AdamYou gotta choose to stop those flashbacks because I can choose to rewire my brain. Will it into place.
57:27🔗AdamYeah. You gotta remember what what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Yeah. Yeah. Just a whole adolescence full of nice sexual abuse. That'll make you stronger because you're not you're still your heart beating.
57:42🔗AdamIt's just like a horrible burns. Well, especially over 90 percent of your body makes you stronger. Like Howard Hughes, we got in a car that that plane crash.
58:10🔗AdamHold on a second. I can't choose for you. I like that. I like super, super obvious blowhardy guy. Listen people, I'd be lying to you if I told you that I could choose for you. There's only one person in this room who can choose for you, and that person is you. Yeah, super blowhardy guy. I got a ponytail and huge calves. I don't get laid, but I pretend like I do, and I got a leather fanny pack.
58:45🔗AdamYeah. You gotta choose. And I like this one too. I'm not going to be at your house. I'm not your mommy. I'm not your wet nurse. I'm not your girlfriend. I'm not going to show up every day and get you out of bed and tell you gotta choose. No, you gotta choose to choose. And choose, choose, choose, choose, choose, choose, choose.
59:09🔗AdamThere are lots of chewy Rollos in a roll for you if you're choosy about what you choose. Real milk chocolate and caramel too. To chew, chew, chew.
59:19🔗AdamTo chew, chew, chew. Did you see the woman that talked down that guy that shot everybody in court the other day?
59:40🔗AdamWhat is that? We do affect one another. We do affect one another. There's no doubt about it.
59:46🔗AdamYeah. I wouldn't have the watchtower, the Bible or anything. It's like, I got Girls Gone Wild and a black and white tape of me playing high school football. Which one? Oh, shooting starts. Yeah.
1:00:15🔗All right. There's this radio DJ that I've been kind of sort of seeing on and off, but not really because we don't really get to spend a lot of time with each other, which kind of gets me too.
1:00:31🔗Yeah. He sits there and he, it's like one day he's all into me and the next day, I might as well not even be there. And so I'm insecure about that. And then on top of that, I go to call him today and-
1:00:45🔗I called him today and there was another girl with him and it's like the first thing that popped in my head was, you know, I never get to spend time with you, but there's another girl there.
1:01:01🔗AdamThis is not a good translation for you. For many, many, many reasons. Not the least of which is that this is a radio guy.
1:01:10🔗AdamHey, it's 829, 29 and a half o'clock. How about a hummer? Tell you what, I got our girl over there. It was 829, 29 and a half o'clock. We got ourselves a Savage Garden Super Set coming up at the top of the Arbor. First, we got to pay some bills. My good friends over at Galpin, Ford, number one sale for it's dealing days over at Galpin. Yeah.
1:01:31🔗AdamWe've been ready for 10 years. It's not like we don't know what we're talking about.
1:01:33🔗AdamNo. Radio people are horrible. The guys on the air are horrible. The people off the air are stupid, except for engineer Chris. Oh yeah. Anderson. That's right. Who else is here now?
1:01:47🔗AdamAll right. Lauren if she's listening. So Jamie.
1:01:50🔗AdamWell, Jamie, we worry about who this guy is, especially the young guys that are on radio. They meet a lot of people. He's not your boyfriend. He's never said that he is. You want more from the relationship. You're not going to get it. You're just sitting in this state of longing that you're never going to get out of. And you have to really take a good hard look at things. If that state of longing to be with somebody is something you need to be in, that's bad news. If you don't need that and you want a real relationship, then get on with it and find a real relationship.
1:02:19🔗Well, see, I understand that. But why if it's not going to go anywhere? Every time I call the station and somebody else answers besides him, it's like, oh, is this his girlfriend? Hold on a second.
1:03:19🔗AdamWe get a stripper instead of a violent criminal. It's awesome. No, seriously. For her, for you, for us, for everybody. Come on. I mean, imagine. Let's just do some math. Just imagine if every chick, every time a horrible young person crapped out a kid was a girl. It would just be a booming porn industry, some strippers, all that. It would be awesome. No, but prisons wouldn't fill up. The clubs would fill up. Yeah. It'd be awesome. They couldn't make poles fast enough. The guys over at ACME stripper pole manufacturing would be like, we're burning the midnight oil.
1:04:24🔗AdamThrough the roof. Oh, I can't. I think about the strip club, and once in a while, there's like a strip club version of a Zamboni, but it's a Mexican chick. They come running out, and they wipe everything down. It's like the guy follows the elephants when the circus comes down. Whenever I see the poor chick run out, she's always the chick with the big ass, who's a little too old, and she comes running out there, and she's got some Windex and a roll of paper towels. She's putting a little Purell on the pole, and she's giving the glass a wipe down, because the chick's got her cheek marks on the glass, and I always say to whoever's next to me, I would rather my daughter strip than be the rodeo clown that runs in and mops up. At least she's got, she may have her shirt off, but she's got her dignity. I'll tell you that. This one has to come in and wipe the place down.
1:05:17🔗AdamWeren't we talking earlier about a job like that?
1:05:19🔗AdamThe show is getting started. We have discussed, I think we haven't discussed it for years, but they gotta run in, they gotta wipe the pole down, and they gotta wipe the mirror, because the chicks will work that mirror. They'll do that, you know, looking over the shoulder and slapping the ass against the thing. I would gladly take that gig though, when I was 19 or 20.
1:05:39🔗AdamI think that person, the one that works, putting the pubic hair on the fake genitalia, I mean, those women are the ones I wanna talk to. I mean, what do you tell your family, how much do you have paid, what do you wanna be doing?
1:05:51🔗AdamI have been to the dildo factory before.
1:05:54🔗AdamBut don't you wanna talk to those people? I'm fascinated by who that is.
1:05:58🔗AdamDo you have other options? What do you tell them? Did you come to this country because you're planning to be the mop girl at the strip club?
1:06:03🔗AdamNo, the ones at the pubic hair factory, the ones that sew the pubic hair onto the cyber nuts, are the ones, they're like Guatemalan chicks.
1:06:14🔗AdamNot really, and they could just as easily be working at a factory that made religious candles. Right. It doesn't matter to them, it's just something's coming down the conveyor belt.
1:06:25🔗AdamBut is that true? I wanna know, I wanna talk to them.
1:06:28🔗AdamBut here's what it is. Look, you get nine bucks an hour, we don't need to see any proof of citizenship, and go man the belt. That's all. I mean, it's not like, what do they say to their kids? How do they look in the mirror? No, they're desperate. They're getting nine bucks an hour. You know, question's asked.
1:06:46🔗AdamI still wanna question them, how they think about it, say.
1:07:01🔗AdamHere's the thing. I mean, talk to the guys who are working at McDonald's. You're getting five bucks an hour, you're standing over a hot grill, your cuticles smell like onions, and you got a sign that reads, a time to lean, time to clean.
1:07:14🔗AdamI saw that Super Sizer movie over the weekend. Well done.
1:07:50🔗AdamYou know what I feel. I feel like reading Poisons to Mind. That's my feeling. Roger Cross is here tonight from 24 on Fox, nine o'clock Monday nights. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
1:08:04🔗Thank you for calling Loveline. Your call will be answered in the order it seems interesting.
1:08:15🔗AdamNow we're on the same page. Yeah, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191, Roger Cross here tonight from Fox's 24, Monday night, nine o'clock, best show on television. Thank you. So, I'll tell you, I go to work with a lot of snobs and I enjoy it too. Obviously, I'm not saying I don't, but these guys are no soft touches when it comes to the compliments on TV. Because, like Drew, you know how you hate all doctors? No, not attorneys. No, but I mean, you know what I mean, you're no fan of Dr. Phil.
1:09:11🔗AdamYeah, but they are very spiteful and vindictive and petty. But the point is, it's not about 24.
1:09:20🔗AdamWell, they appreciate real good stuff too.
1:09:22🔗AdamThey certainly do. They certainly do. All right, go ahead.
1:09:27🔗AdamAlso, at 1-800-LOVE-191, I'm looking for people who are hiding secrets from their partners, sexual secrets, and people who have fears or aversions about sexual acts that make it difficult for them. We found out something about Roger tonight in terms of his aversion to the menstrual period.
1:09:44🔗DrewCan't judge. No, but I did not say that. I've never done it.
1:09:50🔗AdamI've never had the opportunity to do it.
1:09:53🔗AdamOne could argue that never doing it is the same. Yeah.
1:09:56🔗AdamBut anyway, so if you call that number, we want to talk to some people. I lead them for a television program if they're willing to get out and talk about it. We can hide them and shroud them in all kinds of secrets if they need be.
1:10:06🔗AdamYeah. I think the whole thing about the Menci's sex thing is it really depends on who the blood is coming out of. You know what I mean? They're ones I would make exceptions for, and I'm sure Roger has a short list of gals that he could lift this policy for.
1:10:39🔗AdamBut there are some people in Jamaica that would hesitate rather seriously, right?
1:10:42🔗DrewThere are people everywhere that would hesitate.
1:10:44🔗AdamNo, but Jamaicans really have a thing about this. Whenever I've talked to Jamaicans, they always bring that one up.
1:10:49🔗DrewI don't have a serious issue about it, but I know people here.
1:10:52🔗AdamYou're Canadian. That's all I can say.
1:10:54🔗AdamHere's the... I'm trying to think of the group. Now, I'm wondering, I'm trying to think of the guys, that the culture that would pull that cork the quickest.
1:11:07🔗AdamWhat would have no problem with the next one?
1:11:10🔗AdamI'm with you. Maybe the Jamaican guys not into that.
1:11:14🔗AdamThey brought it... Every time I've talked to Jamaican guys, that's one of the ones that kind of bring it. If it comes up on the show or something, they go, oh my god, impossible.
1:11:34🔗AdamBrazilians guys, and also I'm thinking like Eastern Bloc countries.
1:11:36🔗AdamOh, Eastern Bloc. Yeah, just because something warm is coming out of somebody. They put a little vodka in it and drink it. Well, Eastern Bloc guys are scary. Now, not Jews, by the way, ironically. Here's guys, they'll eat cows' tongues and brains and all kinds of crazy liver-y giblets-y things, but they'll never get near this thing, which is a weird combination to me. But, yeah, I'd like to check the diet. You show me someone who lives off of papaya and jerk chick, and I'm going to show you someone who's not pulling the plug. But you show me a guy who lives off of parts, you know what I mean? Brains and tongues. Yeah, like a lot of haggis and tripe and that kind of stuff. I'll show you guys into it. Yeah, because in a way, that's just-
1:12:22🔗AdamYeah, it's something and it's a little bloody and a little messy and the kind of stuff we hear about. Yeah, we take the sheep stomach and we mix it in with the eyeballs and you're like, Christ, that's the guy who's going to do it. All right. That's what I think. Justin?
1:12:42🔗AdamIt's compensation. Let me tell you something. The Jamaican guys are hung, too. They don't have to play that. You know what I mean? They don't need to go there.
1:13:00🔗Adam97. What happened? You had a stroke. Was your skull fractured? Or was your skull open?
1:13:07🔗AdamMy skull was fractured. It did three brain surgeries on me.
1:13:11🔗AdamThree. We have a motorcycle accident or something?
1:13:15🔗AdamGot in a car with a drunk driver and did something to my seatbelt on.
1:13:20🔗AdamSo this really isn't a stroke so much as a brain injury. Yeah, a brain injury. Right? Maybe you had a stroke too, complicating some of this.
1:13:28🔗AdamI had a massive blood clot on the right side of my brain.
1:13:30🔗AdamOkay. Well, that's not a stroke. That's bleeding probably.
1:13:34🔗AdamCaused by the curve, not a vessel breaking.
1:13:37🔗AdamRight. A stroke is usually thought of as a blood vessel clotting off and the brain tissue dying as a result of the blood supply being cut off. There's also something called intracranial bleed, which people think of as a stroke, but it really isn't. It's where blood breaks into the tissue of the brain. And in your case, there probably was two things. There's probably blood under the skull pushing on the brain, and probably like a bruise or blood within the brain tissue itself, both of which do cause brain damage. And so that's not really about recovering from a stroke so much as dealing with the stroke, dealing with the brain injury and learning to live with that.
1:14:12🔗AdamWell, what do you got? How's it manifesting itself?
1:14:15🔗AdamWell, what side of the brain was it on, left or right?
1:14:19🔗AdamSo that does your left side, and what else does it do?
1:14:22🔗AdamWell, it causes something called anosognosia, which is a left-sided neglect. So you won't see or notice things on the left side. And if we asked him, say, to draw a clock, he'd only draw the right half of the clock. It's a very interesting syndrome. And can you have trouble moving your left arm and left leg?
1:14:39🔗AdamAnd some emotional and social cues get kind of screwed up by that. And if you had to have one side of your brain, well, I know you want to get the right side because the left is where the speech is.
1:14:57🔗AdamOkay. Due to the fact that I crushed the right side of my face, I'm blind in my right eye now. Yeah. And is there any chance I could ever get vision back in that?
1:15:14🔗AdamI got to answer a question. No. Once that is gone, that is gone.
1:15:17🔗AdamOh, what about, you know, they're talking about like putting something in Stevie Wonder's head and stuff like that. Nothing? Cochlear? What do they call that?
1:15:27🔗AdamI would just, that's a cochlear implant. But except for the eye, they've got various kinds of little things they might be able to do. But that's, that's, you know, this is disruption of probably not only the track coming from the eye to the brain, but also probably the visual cortex was injured too.
1:15:41🔗AdamWell, what do you need? You don't need both. Sammy Davis Jr. only had one eye.
1:16:15🔗AdamWell, I know it sounds like Pollyanna-ish. But I mean, if you can't work, how about working with other people and donating your time and doing that kind of thing?
1:16:28🔗AdamI do do some of that. I am part of the Every 15 Minutes program.
1:16:32🔗AdamThat's good, because I'll tell you what, all of us, when we're looking for meaning in life, being of service tends to be the most commonly satisfying way to do that.
1:16:41🔗AdamYeah. When really people are trying to figure out what makes life meaningful, it's important relationships. And for many, that means being of service. And so if you can find a way to be of service, it will make meaning.
1:17:09🔗AdamThe point... No, here's the thing. You would, A, feel much... It's unbelievable how good you feel about yourself when you do do something nice. But the other thing is you would deal with people that are in far worse shape than you often times. And that puts things in the perspective. You gotta look at it this way and it's in your own weird way. I want to get too philosophical here. But in a way a guy like Justin feels robbed, there's quite a few people that you can make an argument, especially in different countries, that have it quite a bit worse than Justin. And for that matter, everyone over a certain age.
1:17:46🔗AdamYou don't even think about it. You go, well, he's lived a long life or she's lived a long life. But everyone's 75 plus is probably worse off in terms of their mobility, what they're able to do, their eyesight, speech, many things. Yeah.
1:18:20🔗CallerOkay. Basically, I don't get off during sex. Like, I have fun, but it doesn't do anything for me. Like, I don't get any reaction out of it.
1:19:07🔗AdamThat's why I give him a reach around and help me a little bit. But here's the thing. Yeah. If a guy can have an orgasm alone, but he can't have one when he's with his partner, then he quickly incorporates whatever he's doing alone with his partner.
1:19:44🔗CallerOkay. Basically, what I'm calling for is, it's so hard. I know you guys are automatically going to pass, and that's fine, but I was friends with a guy. I wasn't attracted to him sexually at all, like nothing. It was one of the reasons I had to hang out, because I felt bad about not hanging out. I let him stay over because he had to go to class, and it was close. Anyway, and he stayed over. I fell asleep, and I woke up because I heard, at first, I heard the little noise when you take a picture with your phone. I woke up, but I didn't open my eyes. Then I felt him touching me. Anyway, it freaked me out, but I didn't say anything, and I don't know why I didn't, but I didn't say anything.
1:20:33🔗AdamAll right. He just froze up. When you say touching you, what did he do?
1:20:39🔗CallerWell, first, it was like touching my chest, and then touching me other places.
1:21:16🔗CallerThis is the thing. I listen to your show a lot, and I know there's a lot of girls like, oh, well, really that makes a difference, and I understand that it does, but I'm a pretty smart person. I figure, I understand if I'm full, I don't see how it would relate now, because I'm aware I've already addressed issues.
1:21:32🔗AdamYeah, but this takes place on a subconscious level.
1:21:37🔗AdamEspecially for women, because you guys are wired, you're not plumbed. We're plumbed. I got like three-quarter inch galvanized pipe just going right from my sack to my urethra and then back up to my head where my brain would have been. I mean, we just physically have plumbing. It's a mechanical thing. You guys have wiring. You're like a British sports car from the 50s. It goes wrong.
1:22:00🔗AdamIt's no good after it rains. It's a mess, and all bets are off.
1:22:05🔗AdamHere's the thing. Put Ashley on again.
1:22:07🔗AdamYou never know when you turn the key if you're going to get anything.
1:22:09🔗AdamAnd the thing is, Ashley, the thing that happens in the human that has not really been sorted out yet, why this occurs or precisely how it occurs, but experiences of terror become converted into arousal and attractions in adulthood.
1:22:27🔗AdamNo, you cannot do that a little bit with some very intensive work. But you got to realize that you're set up that way. I'm not saying you should go get victimized, but be careful that victimization is going to be highly arousing and attractive to you.
1:22:40🔗AdamDid somebody come into your room when you were a little girl?
1:22:44🔗CallerNo, it was like babysitter's boyfriend.
1:22:58🔗CallerI have fun and like, but I don't ever get off, ever.
1:23:01🔗AdamIt's not an intellectual process. It's a very deep biological process. And so, you know, you have to have that sort of, find a way to get back in touch with all that.
1:23:21🔗AdamYeah, make it to the interleave every once in a while. Hey Ashley, get a little therapy for what happened at the hands of the boyfriend. Don't look at yourself as damaged good.
1:23:31🔗AdamAnd kind of work something out with a boyfriend. You know, work something out. You know what I mean? Just get a boyfriend.
1:23:37🔗AdamNo, no, well, they could act those things out. Then maybe that will be something that will satisfy her.
1:23:41🔗AdamOkay, now what about that, Drew? This is the way she's wired now. Now, you know that she can get some therapy and she can make some inroads on this. But this is kind of the way she's wired. Maybe now's the time to role play.
1:23:58🔗AdamNo, that's fine. There's nothing destructive about that.
1:24:00🔗AdamIs it just fine though in a way you're recreating a trauma?
1:24:04🔗AdamIt's not just fine because it will bleed into other things and it will become bigger. If it's in the context of somebody who's really working on stuff and being managed in therapy and whatnot, it's probably fine.
1:24:15🔗AdamAnd with the guy, it's like, yeah, I'm going to pretend like I was asleep, and the guy's like, oh, I was going to do it when he fell asleep anyway. That's fine. I was just waiting for you to go to bed. Done and done.
1:24:28🔗AdamOr maybe that's the way they do it. There's some women that like literally waking up having sex. That lack of control, that feeling of powerlessness is arousing.
1:24:37🔗AdamYeah. I've been with the ladies that were into that, but they never woke up. I was just like, I nailed you last night. Oh, really? Because I'm a light sleeper.
1:24:44🔗AdamI love that, but it's about I missed it.
1:24:46🔗AdamYeah. Oh, no. There were other folks in the room, moved around in positions. You want to see the tape?
1:24:53🔗AdamBy the way, this guy that asked you was extra creepy with the taking the camera picture. I mean, who knows where that's going to end up.
1:24:59🔗AdamThe camera thing was a little weird, but yeah, and here's the thing about guys. Guys are great too. It's like, oh no, we're just friends. Now I got a class nearby. I'm just going to crash out.
1:25:12🔗AdamHe knew that she was that kind of a victim, and he knew he could get away with this. It's interesting that he ended up doing exactly the victimization that she had done as a child. Isn't that what's fascinating? Well, she found the right guy to do the act.
1:25:24🔗AdamHere's an interesting thing that we get into on occasion quite a bit on this show, but I don't hear it's spoken about outside of this studio. Because it's not really science, but what you know and what your brain knows and makes you do. I mean, here's the thing. There's what you know on a cognitive level. True. This girl's good-looking or her apartment looks like this or sofa smells like that, but then there's what your brain starts telling you what to do on a certain level. Now, this guy probably clued into all kinds of tells, for lack of a better term.
1:26:02🔗AdamDidn't know that's what he was clued into.
1:26:03🔗AdamHe didn't even know that's what he was clued into.
1:26:06🔗AdamBut his brain, because it had been on the planet for 20 years and looked around a little and been with other victims, was doing, your brain is constantly profiling, trying to figure things out, and his brain said, go with this chick, wait till she falls asleep. Because that wouldn't work with anybody else. Most chicks you'd start feeling around.
1:26:27🔗DrewShe's probably thinking she's going to wake up, get aroused, and they're going to have sex with him.
1:26:49🔗AdamAnd that's that brain profiling and not even letting us know about it.
1:26:54🔗AdamInteresting enough, those guys tend to be on the sociopathic tendency. And how they know, they just do.
1:26:59🔗AdamPeople argue that those guys just go around and try to feel up everybody, but their batting average is much higher than that because they'd be in jail otherwise.
1:27:50🔗AdamHey, everybody. It's the Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, Roger Cross here tonight. He is from 24 Fox, Monday nights, 9 o'clock. Drew decided he liked Roger. I concurred while Roger was in the bathroom.
1:28:48🔗AdamSit in one of those rooms with all the cameras, right?
1:28:51🔗Yeah. Basically, I sit here and I watch and I make sure nothing goes south.
1:28:55🔗AdamWhat are the top three things you're looking for when people are gaming, when they're playing? I don't know. What are they playing where you are, what you're looking at?
1:29:23🔗AdamWhat are you looking for or can you tell us what the tells are?
1:29:27🔗I can't tell you too much, but what I will tell you is that I'm not just looking for the players cheating. I'm looking for dealers that have to deal a certain way. They have to spit the cards out in a certain way. They have to touch the chips in a certain way.
1:29:39🔗AdamThat's a very valid point because you got these guys that blow into town, whether it's Nevada or wherever the Indian casinos are. They're dicey guys. They're dealing cards. They're making 18 bucks an hour with some tips. They could easily, they're the guys. Yeah.
1:29:55🔗AdamOr they make mistakes with the chips and stuff.
1:30:00🔗After paying out some players, they clear their hands, stuff like that. I'm watching to make sure that the employees are actually following procedural stuff.
1:30:09🔗AdamI just wish we could enact a standard procedure for everything because you sit at one casino for a day playing, and then you go to another casino and you're like, hit me, and you're like, sure, don't pick up the cards. And you're like, over the dunes, you got the, no, no, put the cards down and tap the cards and put a number two pencil in your ass. That's how we do it. And I'm like, well, over at the Hard Rock, you scrape the cards, but no, no, don't put sir cards down.
1:30:36🔗AdamAnd then they're mad and won't talk to you. I don't care about the Hard Rock.
1:30:39🔗AdamYou got the evil Vietnamese chicks giving you the stink eye the whole time because you had the temerity to pick the cards up because you're drunk.
1:30:48🔗AdamYeah. I'm just saying, let's go ahead and establish one protocol for this and I'll learn it and that'll be it. I'll never get yelled at again at the casino.
1:30:57🔗AdamSo anyway, Joe, you're now getting a, becoming enamored with the voyeuristic tendencies.
1:31:06🔗Yeah. Not by choice, I'll tell you. If I sit here and I got to watch all these people that I'm really not supposed to interact with in any other way and I've noticed it bleeding into my personal life and it's kind of bothering me.
1:31:17🔗AdamGive me specifically what's happening.
1:31:19🔗You know, I'll walk down the street and I'll find myself, you know, peeking in people's windows. I'll be out of my balcony smoking a cigarette, you know, and I'll just gravitate towards watching what people are doing, you know.
1:31:32🔗AdamThat's all right. It's your skill. It's your discipline.
1:31:37🔗AdamYeah. It's like when Drew used to be in the gay porn field. He just, you don't, you never, you don't punch out, so to speak.
1:31:45🔗AdamYou start, you start, you start, you start, you start diagnosing stuff in the gay porn. As you talk to people.
1:31:49🔗AdamYeah, you can't, well, you, you feel bad. What about us? Everyone I talk to, I have to psychoanalyze and decide that their dads abuse them. Yeah.
1:31:59🔗AdamIt's all right, Joe, as long as you're not actually, Yeah, you're fine. Lurking outside the shower, you know.
1:32:04🔗AdamI would, I would start falling in, in love with people. I'd be up there and be some hot chick, sit down.
1:32:15🔗AdamThen it turns into an episode of Vegas. See her walking out at night to the parking car, to the car. Remember everything in the 70s took place in the car? Out in the parking structure at night, chick walking out the car, weird ominous music. She's looking over her shoulder. We got to take a break, but let me just tell you this. I watched a lot of 80s movies over the weekend. Here's what I realized. We loved the Uzi back then. This is the machine gun just to blow up. Every guy who got shot, every bad guy gets shot while he had the submachine gun, turns in the air and sprays it.
1:32:51🔗DrewI was just going down. I was like, brrr.
1:32:52🔗AdamYeah. Somebody decided that this is what happens when guys got shot. Now, it never happens when you have a pistol. You don't squeeze off 30 rounds. But if you have an Uzi, you go in the air and you spray it all over the place. This went on for about four years and now we're off it. But from 1987 to 1991, every guy who had an automatic machine gun who got shot just sprays 300 rounds in the air. Violently sprays. It's like, aren't you dead? What's going on? Let's take a break. We'll be back after this. All right, guys.
1:33:22🔗CallerHere's the deal. Looking to hook up, call the Dateline.
1:34:17🔗AdamWe'll take a little extendo break, and until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
1:34:25🔗CallerThis has been Loveline. The opinions expressed in this show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors, or this station.
1:34:37🔗AdamThe producer for Loveline is Aningold.
1:34:39🔗CallerLoveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
