1:20🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Tonight, keeping with our Family Guy theme, Alex Borstein is here.
2:05🔗Alex BorsteinOh, yeah, they did. I went on one of the auditions.
2:07🔗AdamThey didn't make any, they didn't actually do any episodes.
2:10🔗Alex BorsteinNo, but they were auditioning people to replace Lisa Simpson and Barton. Isn't that lame?
2:16🔗AdamYeah, I mean, it seems like you have to sort of, well, I guess you couldn't kill the entire cast off. But if one person goes, if Lisa's got to go, don't replace her, just got to kill her, otherwise it's creepy, like the Partridge family.
2:29🔗Alex BorsteinWell, you know, we replaced Meg.
2:39🔗Alex BorsteinAnd then there was Lacey Chabert. One of the Party of Five, dead parents, always funny. And then, of course, now we have the lovely Mila Kunis.
2:52🔗AdamWell, was how many? I think we've probably talked about this last time Seth was in here. But how many episodes did they all do? Does Mila has Mila done the lion share of them?
3:02🔗Alex BorsteinMila took over and has now really become Meg.
3:05🔗AdamYeah, but now I was thinking on my way and Alex also, you know, from Mad TV. It's by the way, having a love affair with Mad TV.
3:14🔗DrewYeah, they're playing so many reruns. My kids have picked up on this and every time they watch TV, they want to start with that.
3:26🔗DrewSome of it is. Some of it. I've monitored carefully. But your stuff.
3:29🔗Alex BorsteinYeah, it's all over. Now I'm actually seen, I left the show maybe two, three years ago. I'm now seen more that it's in syndication on Comedy Central.
3:38🔗DrewI'm walking down the street. I hear Ms. Swan.
4:15🔗AdamNo, I said we met, I known Alex briefly from the ACME period, the ACME Theater Days, and then I threw some sort of party in my apartment and she yelled at me in my kitchen.
4:29🔗Alex BorsteinJust were you living like a pig and drinking and-
4:33🔗AdamNo, it was a party. You wanted something. There was something. You told me to get out of the way so you could chop something or something. I can't remember what it was.
4:41🔗Alex BorsteinThat sounds right. I can imagine. We didn't have sex though, did we?
5:12🔗It's Trisha Taka Nowa. She speaks in reporter speak.
5:19🔗AdamThat's awesome. I was thinking, now, do you have a long-term contract? I mean, you could really screw things up if you just said, I want some more money, I'm not coming back.
5:29🔗Alex BorsteinYeah, I suppose I could. I think.
5:46🔗AdamHe drives the Brinks truck. Yeah. We also figured out even if you have a circular driveway where it would be more convenient for them to actually pull in forward with the Brinks truck and stuff, they still back the Brinks truck up to the house.
5:59🔗Alex BorsteinI heard that Seth actually just converted his house into a Brinks truck.
6:04🔗Alex BorsteinIt's the largest Brinks truck ever. It's huge.
6:06🔗DrewYeah. I saw lots of bags with the dollar sign on it.
6:09🔗Alex BorsteinYeah. He wears a mask when he holds them and a striped shirt. Yeah.
6:12🔗AdamHe wears spats and a top hat, has a big mustache like the Monopoly man. Point is, he's rich, to be honest, while the stream's, and why not? Why shouldn't you be kissed into some of that?
6:22🔗Alex BorsteinYou know what? He deserves every penny. The guy's a genius.
6:31🔗Alex BorsteinYeah, I write on the show right now, full time, and doing the voices, and now we're doing these live shows. We're going to New York. I'm leaving tomorrow, and that's the coolest thing ever.
6:40🔗Alex BorsteinWe're doing it at the Town Hall in New York.
6:43🔗AdamAnd Jimmy went out to the one that was out here and said it was fantastic. It's sort of a table read, and then some songs.
6:52🔗Alex BorsteinYeah, like we sit around in director's chairs in a semi-circle, and we read the script aloud, which sounds lame, but it's kind of cool, because we're all ad-living and being extremely filthy and inappropriate, and then there's a giant screen behind us and showing you some of the animation while we're doing it.
7:06🔗DrewIs it of the upcoming episodes, or old ones?
7:07🔗Alex BorsteinIt's an existing, we don't like to say old, Dr. Drew.
8:02🔗AdamWell, first racist remarks, seven minutes into the show. But I thought- You know, I always complained that the Asians really have no juice in Hollywood. I mean, they're not represented in any TV commercials.
8:14🔗DrewUnless a white person plays an Asian person.
8:16🔗AdamRight. What I'm saying is, if there's not X amount of black sitcoms on, Jesse Jackson has a protest, but there's no voice of the Asians. They're just going to work and keep quiet, right? I was watching this new Mazda commercial, which has all the other engineers from the leading Japanese car companies all standing around. The Honda, Toyota, Nissan engineers all standing around, drooling over the new Mazdas thinking, what are we going to do? Now we're being crushed by our competition. It's two white guys and a black guy. No Asians, by the way, representing the world's biggest Asian companies. The three.
8:53🔗AdamYou've seen the commercial. They've had the one where the guy's taking his car for a test ride. The other guy's got the Zoom Zoom phone ring. It's two white guys and a husky black guy, and they're wearing things, they're wearing lab coats that read Toyota, Nissan, and Honda.
9:08🔗Alex BorsteinBut you know, I hear that black is the new Asian.
9:13🔗DrewWell, I can imagine the character you're gonna come up with.
9:15🔗AdamNow, by the way, these are huge, huge Japanese car companies. Could you imagine if there was a car company that was just out of Africa, and there's nothing but black-owned and two white guys and an Asian guy saying they're representing? Really? How would that work? Would that work? I don't think that would work.
9:42🔗AdamNairobi. Three of them. Three huge black car companies. And then two white guys and Asian guys. Yeah, I'm just saying. I'm just saying the Asians should be complaining.
9:55🔗AdamWell, wouldn't you complain if you're Asian and you have Nissan, Toyota, Honda, and Mazda all represented in lab techs, technicians. These guys are engineers from the company. The two fat white guys and a black guy.
10:52🔗AdamGet it together. You're gonna let the engineers from Honda and Nissan be white guys and black guys? Where's the Asians? It's your company. All right. All right, that's how you know. Jessie? Yes? By the way, when they cast these things, does anyone raise their hand and go, these are the biggest Japanese car manufacturers in the world. We can't get one Asian guy in there? A bunch of everything else but the Asian guy? Which just really goes to show you, but all you got to do is complain.
11:15🔗DrewWhy don't you call Margaret Cho? Maybe she can make a call to us.
11:17🔗AdamI'm going to get her in on that. I think she's Korean, right?
11:20🔗DrewYeah, that's Asian. Although I had Korean friends yelling at me that it's Oriental, not Asian if you're from Korea.
11:49🔗CallerI'm fine. I think I'm really horrible. My husband was in the military. He just got out. He was gone for pretty much two years, 18 months in Iraq and six months in Germany. Ever since he's gotten back, it's weird. I don't really want him to touch me. I don't like it when he kisses me.
12:50🔗CallerI don't agree with the war, but I agreed with what he was doing.
12:57🔗DrewSo Jesse, as Adam would say, let's turn over all the cards. What's going on here? What are you feeling? We're guessing, we're reaching. What's the deal?
13:23🔗DrewWow, so refreshing. Yeah, a little couple's therapy to save this family a little bit. Maybe he's been changed by the war and you're sort of picking up on that.
13:31🔗Alex BorsteinIf you've been alone for two years, you kind of get used to it. You create your own rhythm. You kind of create your own day and everything you do and your priorities. And then he comes back and there's a big wrench thrown in what you've gotten used to.
13:42🔗DrewShe's resentful and angry for some reason.
13:44🔗AdamYeah, you got a nice little schedule of drinking Nyquil and neglecting your kids. And all of a sudden this guy comes in.
14:05🔗AdamOkay. All right. Well, we don't know what the answer is. Give yourself some time to decompress. I agree with Alex. Two years is a long time.
14:14🔗DrewPeople change, okay? You're away for two years. He's had this overwhelming, intense experience. You've built up resentments in a life of your own without him. Now, you're trying to be lovers again after being apart and drawn into two different people when you left. You were 22 when he left.
14:38🔗Alex BorsteinAnd war has got to change you. I mean, that's...
14:40🔗DrewYeah, right. So you need to set up a new equilibrium. I know it's a big word for old Jesse there in Arkansas. A new... establish your relationship anew with who you are now.
14:50🔗DrewAnd if you can't do that, get some help. I'm sure the military would offer some of that for nothing. On behalf of your kids, commit yourself to this.
15:14🔗AdamThat was one of the few times Drew got the inflection off somebody and I didn't. He said works with the vets. He's in the hospital right now.
15:45🔗AdamOh, that's another one. They have two of them on Sepulveda, essentially, or off Sepulveda.
15:50🔗Alex BorsteinYeah, because it's in the valley.
15:51🔗AdamRight. OK. It's in Sepulveda. This other one's on Sepulveda. This is boring for everyone.
15:55🔗DrewSo he does PTSD and alcoholism and all that stuff, and all the vets have.
16:00🔗AdamI'd do it. I'd do that. But I'd dress up like Patton. And I'd just go in there with a hyperhandled colt. And I'd be like, hey, man, get a hold of yourself. And slap him with a glove. You make me sick.
16:26🔗Alex BorsteinNo one really can get inside their heads better.
16:29🔗AdamYeah. No, I mean, when you've lost as many buddies to menorifiers.
16:34🔗Alex BorsteinTo the Talmud. That's right, man.
16:35🔗AdamThe Talmud tipping over and crushing them. Yeah. When you've seen that kind of action. When you've had your ass kicked by not Viet Cong, but your mom that many times, you know what it's like.
17:14🔗CallerYeah. Before I get to my question also, there's a quick thing that I'd like to say. I spoke to one of the cast members of Family Guy. I'll just call him MH.
17:27🔗CallerI spoke to him about internships at Family Guy, and he gave me the number of the Family Guy office and someone I should speak to. It was a little confusing with something. There's something I would like to speak with you that's the best ass off the air if it's okay, if I can have a minute of your time.
17:42🔗Alex BorsteinI would suggest calling 1-800-LOVE-191.
19:10🔗AdamA p-psychologist. Where were we, Drew? We're not going to guess this unless you get on the internet. No, we're not going to guess this. I put Sam on hold because I'm deciding whether I want to hang up on him or not.
19:24🔗Alex BorsteinHonestly, I don't have information. I don't know. I wouldn't know how to help him with that. I know that they have all the interns they need at this moment.
19:31🔗AdamI think he made a wisecrack about Catwoman, but on the other hand, I appreciate a quick come back. Especially when it has nothing to do with me. You know what I mean? So I'm going to let Sam hang for just a little bit. Married with two kids, gained 30 pounds in the last year.
19:47🔗DrewMarried with two kids, having threesomes. Come on.
19:49🔗AdamAll right. All right. All right. Mandy? Well, I was going to go there, but we had to have our guests insulted by Sam. Go ahead, Mandy.
19:58🔗Actually, I guess this is reattending to the last night show because I'm in New Mexico and I'm hearing that we're a little far behind here. But he was saying that a girl had called in with her boyfriend and she wanted to have a threesome with her friend.
20:11🔗AdamHold on a second. You're indeed almost as obnoxious as the how so.
20:16🔗DrewI hear it comes from people every once in a while.
20:37🔗I'm married and I have children and I have been married for almost five years. I deeply care for my husband, but I am myself a bisexual and I like to bring women home. He was saying that if you deeply care for someone that you shouldn't have threesomes and that the emotions tied in with that aren't healthy for a good relationship. But I was, you know, I made me feel like I was wrong for doing this and that I'm putting.
21:34🔗We have an agreement. I mean, it's all to me. This is definitely a girl that I bring home for myself and my husband. I don't bring home another penis. I married a penis. I have that.
21:44🔗DrewMandy, get out of your head here. You've got some trauma stuff. Yeah, you've got some boundary issues. Married a penis.
21:51🔗AdamBy the way, if that was on the cake, if there's a penis next to the bride, a little miniature wax one, that's in poor taste. I mean, I'm open-minded, but-
22:00🔗AdamAll right, hold on. Let's talk about Mandy for a sec. She got a wrap.
22:02🔗DrewTrauma, trauma, trauma. It's all intellectualized, why it's working the way it does, why it has to be good the way she does it. It's all defensive and in her head.
22:10🔗AdamBut I will say, I do agree with Alex, that if you're the husband and some extra from the OC comes through the door with the old lady, it's like, oh, KROQ.
22:31🔗DrewThe craziness, well, of course, she comes from chaos.
22:35🔗AdamAll right, well, let's see if we can cut through her bubble wrap. Go ahead.
22:38🔗We have children, and this is not, it's a stable relationship. I am very happy with my husband, and he is very happy with me.
22:45🔗DrewMandy, I want you to listen to us. Just stop talking. Just answer the questions. What happened in your family of origin? Why did they break apart?
22:53🔗My family of origin? Why did they break apart?
23:04🔗After 9-11, he was in the traffic control, and after 9-11, he went through a big, I don't know, midlife crisis. And she died within a year of him leaving her. She died of massive head trauma. I had nothing to do with that.
23:34🔗AdamSo listen, rap star. Your dad, your mom died of head trauma. What happened?
23:42🔗Well, actually, she hit her head on the ground. She let one of the boys, he was 11. She was a grandma. She let him drive the golf cart around a parking lot because it was the manager's son and she fell out because, I mean, what, top speed of, what, like 15? She fell out and she, I guess she just hit wrong and hit the back of her head and died a week later.
24:08🔗No, it was not a trailer park. She was working. Well, I mean, she was a party coordinator for a very big country bar that we had here. She arranged people to come in with the, Why is it you're so vague?
24:26🔗DrewWhy are you so vague about what happened to her?
24:29🔗I'm not vague about what happened to her. I mean, she was, I mean, because it sounds like she, because she worked at a bar, but she worked during the day.
24:37🔗AdamAll right. All right, I'm with you. All right, let's move forward. All right, we're gonna move forward. Mom's fine, head trauma. Sorry to hear that.
25:14🔗He told me that he felt like he was living a lie his whole life and he was definitely into his computer business and his job and he didn't have time for my mom.
25:23🔗AdamI thought he was an air traffic controller.
25:25🔗CallerHe was in Mary's life and then he was in the air traffic controller.
26:22🔗DrewJust know that you created a very unstable situation. When you bring other people in, it just affects the... It affects the boundaries in the relationship and unexpected feelings will emerge. It's not right or wrong. It's just dangerous for your relationship. And if you really care about that family, the four of you are forming, you should protect it every way possible. And you're putting it in jeopardy.
26:47🔗Alex BorsteinHere's my thing on this. It's like, if you... Why get married? Even if you're bisexual, getting married is saying, I'm picking one person who I'm going to be committed to.
26:54🔗DrewIt's a commitment to one person for a stable formation of a family.
26:57🔗Alex BorsteinMale, female, it shouldn't matter. That's what I don't get.
27:00🔗DrewIf you want to do it, go do it. But the fact is you're putting your whole thing in jeopardy there.
27:07🔗AdamI'll just chime in and say, once you have two kids, sorry.
27:11🔗AdamWindows painted closed, not going to open anymore. Sorry, you should have thought about that before you had two kids. Even married, you should have thought about before. But the two kids, now it's a sealed deal.
27:49🔗AdamHey, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Shayna and Travis are going to be in here tomorrow night for Meet the Barkers, which I've seen quite a few times. And I've now really just figured out that if you take an interesting looking couple, put them in a nice house and follow them around with a camera, you got a show.
28:09🔗AdamTa-da! I will watch. Get a good looking blonde chick, get a guy who's pretty tatted up, basically Alex in her husband's story. And she's a long haired blonde, Jackson over there.
29:07🔗AdamI cut myself the first few times and then I learned.
29:09🔗DrewGo ahead, Drew. I'm doing a show for Discovery Health Channel and I scrubbed in. Listen, one quick thing. I scrubbed in on a penis enlargement surgery, which was very interesting.
29:18🔗AdamYou didn't find out how much it cost though, goofball.
29:20🔗DrewNo, I did. I don't have the number for you, but I did have somebody ask.
29:24🔗AdamScrubbed in, that's the doctor, that's the lingo for hanging in.
29:49🔗DrewIt is human cells, and it's pretty interesting.
29:50🔗AdamActually, yeah, it could be, I'm trying to think of what part where your soul resides on your flesh. Rump is good.
29:58🔗DrewThey pull out your pineal gland, and it's smeared on there. But here's the deal. I can't get anybody to come on air and talk about an enlargement procedure they've had just to discuss why they did it, and what they liked. It was a good blah, blah, blah.
30:10🔗DrewYeah, and yet everyone, this urologist that did it, claims that everyone's so old, the happiest patients I've ever had. Yeah, of course. But maybe they don't want to admit they had a penis enlargement. I don't know, but I'm looking for somebody, call here in Loveline.
30:21🔗AdamI'll tell you how you get people to talk about it.
30:24🔗DrewCome on, this guy will be here. Well, Anderson, please help me with this. Pull somebody.
30:28🔗CallerWhy don't you go to the doctor and get numbers from him?
30:32🔗AdamHere's the thing, Drew, please, at a certain point. Come on. All right, here's my point. You're going to have to give away one of these things. He's going to have to give away one of these things, and that's how you get the person on. That's a good idea. You talk to them before the surgery.
30:45🔗DrewIt's got to do with surgery by Friday. Chris?
31:10🔗AdamThe point is, Drew, you get somebody, you interview them beforehand, they give it for free or halfway over. The doctor, you trade out, tell me you advertise the hell out, I'll be wearing a T-shirt with the guy's name on it, and then he comes on. All right, here we go, back to the phones. Question for Alex. Did I mention Alex Borstein is here tonight? From The Family Guy. She does Trisha Tuckinelli.
31:33🔗Alex BorsteinI also do a little bit of Lois.
31:36🔗AdamA little Lois who's, I bet guys have masturbated to that.
31:39🔗Alex BorsteinOh, guys love Lois. She's much hotter than I will ever be, and that's why I love playing her so much.
31:46🔗AdamShe's a sleeper. She's sleeper hot. Cartoon hot.
32:52🔗Alex BorsteinActually, I was there for five years. I had a five-year contract and it was over and it was time. It would have been like staying in high school after you finish for me staying, so it was just the right thing to do and I'm so glad I did. I loved it. It was the greatest thing, but now I've gotten to do Family Guy and movies.
33:11🔗Alex BorsteinOh, I was very locked in. Very locked in.
33:14🔗AdamYou could do the Family Guy, couldn't you?
33:15🔗Alex BorsteinI was able to do Family Guy, but I couldn't write full-time.
33:18🔗AdamOh, I see. You couldn't be on staff full-time.
33:21🔗Alex BorsteinYeah, and couldn't take any time off to do any features. It was really rough. I mean, wonderful, but also then you start wanting to try everything and you can't.
33:32🔗DrewThey're ambitious skits. They look like a lot of work. We call them sketches. Whatever. I don't know. I'm not a lingo man.
34:26🔗AdamI would say. Although for some reason, I didn't see Alex there.
34:30🔗Alex BorsteinYou probably shot it a day I wasn't there.
34:32🔗AdamBut we did shoot it with the audience, which is interesting. I mean, it was a shoot. It was a shoot day. And we played figure skating commentators. Jimmy and I did. And what's his nose was Michelle Kwan or something or Lee or whatever.
34:49🔗Alex BorsteinI don't remember it at all. I bet it was hilarious.
34:56🔗Alex BorsteinDid that answer Veronica's question? Yes.
34:59🔗AdamOK. Let me just say this on Alex's behalf. Alex is multi-talented and talented people don't want to do one thing over and over again. If you're not that talented, you get a job on a soap, you hang on with both hands, you see if you can buy a condo and you stay there for 20 years, hoping some writer doesn't kill you. At least have you have you killed via with his pen. All right. If you have talent, you want to do other things. You want to do this for a while and that's great. You've done it and that's five years has gone by. Now, it's time to move on to something else.
35:32🔗Alex BorsteinSpeaking of something else, I just finished a movie with George Clooney called Good Night and Good Luck.
35:47🔗Alex BorsteinGeorge Clooney, he directed it but he's also in it. He plays Fred Friendly, who was one of the main producers at CBS News at the time. They were instrumental in helping to take McCarthy down.
36:00🔗AdamWell, that's nice. You hear so many stories about McCarthy and McCarthyism, but you don't, the sort of the swell part, but you don't hear the part where she got taken down.
36:08🔗Alex BorsteinYeah, it's nice. It's a really nice little tale.
36:10🔗AdamWell, that's nice. And how was George Clooney?
36:12🔗Alex BorsteinHe was really nice. Kind of amazing. Very, very cool guy. Like, the kind of guy I would have imagined would have hated me and made fun of me and kicked me in the stomach in junior high was really nice.
37:07🔗AdamShe's asking, what difference does it make if she had a little fun with a playmate from the fifth grade until the seventh grade?
37:15🔗Alex BorsteinCome on, everybody tries, at least once.
37:18🔗DrewWhen a child is sexually abused by an adult, they will frequently act out in a explicitly sexual way with their peers. That traumatizes the peer often, and one of the outcomes is that is all sorts of confusion about sexual identity. People have trouble committing, they're being bisexual. The fact is, in our culture, we want to go, whatever you're into, you're just a horny girl, whatever, good, cool. The fact is, these are unfortunately severe boundary issues. They are wired in, in a way that have an ill effect on your relationships. It has to do with living through trauma and then reenacting it in your adult life. And these things need to be contained and treated, or they will eventually erode away your relationship.
38:16🔗DrewBasically. I think you can do all kinds of fun things with your partner, but you gotta stay committed to that partner or you're putting it in jeopardy.
38:21🔗AdamWell, hold on a second, Becky. Let me ask Drew a question. What percentage of the population you think is organically gay and homosexual, let's say?
39:00🔗Alex BorsteinIsn't that impossible to prove? Because how could you prove that someone up until the age, perhaps they were molested would might not have already been?
39:09🔗AdamYou can't, but you can say that if only one in 20 people would have been, then there's a good chance that that guy wouldn't have been one of those one in 20 that would have been biologically gay before his uncle molested him.
39:21🔗Alex BorsteinI don't know. I think you guys are covering something up.
39:25🔗DrewWe were gay. That's the upside of the point. But no, it's well established that early childhood sexual experiences change sexual identity. It just says you can't do anything about it. That's just how they are. Whether or not they were born that way or changed.
39:36🔗Alex BorsteinCould you say the opposite then, if a man was on the road genetically to being gay and is molested by Mrs. Robinson next door, then he's made gay.
39:43🔗DrewNo, but he'll have all kinds of horrible, again, chaos and chaos feelings.
39:49🔗AdamYou know what that road is by the way, Drew?
40:27🔗AdamGet to the vagina. Words before, they just couldn't bend down that low.
40:31🔗DrewBi is always suspect because it usually means a history of boundary problems. Usually. If you're in a married relationship where you've chosen one person and someone's saying, I'm bi, that means you're going to cheat. That's what that means.
40:59🔗AdamDid you? Yeah. Which meant at a certain point, it's going to come down to rambling time. I'll give her that speech where I wish I could take her, but I'm a rambling guy, so I have to ramble. But one day I'll blow through town again.
41:12🔗DrewWell, the point is that we spent a lot of time being busy saying everything is good and everything is fine. Everything is good. Do whatever you want. Who cares? But there is a difference between healthy and unhealthy, and a ton is known about that now.
41:32🔗AdamNow, Becky, hang on because four kids bi and married, we need to talk to her, but we got to take a break. Alex Borstein is in studio tonight. Alex is from, well, you know, we're from Syndicated Man TV and also, of course, Family Guy. Now, movies with George Clooney.
42:24🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-191. The Drew Quiet, trying to announce the show here. Alex Borstein is here tonight from The Family Guy. She does Lois and Tricia Tukunawa and various other voices on the show as needed. Also, you know her from-
42:54🔗AdamYou know her from Mad TV and movie coming out with George Clooney. What a life. We have the Barkers in here tomorrow night. Travis and his wife Shayna. That was Oscar De La Hoya's wife or concubine or something. Are you kidding? Yeah. She had a kid with him. I forgot all about that. They got a little kid run around, you know, looks like- Oscar. It's a chick, but it doesn't look like Travis.
43:25🔗AdamHoya in the hizzy. Well, there's a spinoff. It's got to suck, by the way, when your old lady is Oscar De La Hoya's old old lady, because you can't do any of that. You guys make a living talking smack. That dude better, you just better watch his, you better watch his ass when he comes up the driveway. If he doesn't show me respect, there's a lot of that. He really can't do that. Says, sorry, Mr. De La Hoya. Oh, that scratch on your kid's forehead. No, no, no, no, no, no. Let me explain. Fell off the hoppity horse. It was not me. All right, so when we're left off, we're gonna speak to Becky, who's 28, online, five.
45:06🔗CallerIt's like the whole abuse thing was my fault anyway.
45:09🔗DrewAll right. But Becky, that needs to be treated.
45:11🔗AdamYou were at fault with your mom's boyfriend as a child?
45:15🔗CallerRight. And see, he went to my mom and told her that I was kissing him inappropriately. And so they had this whole sit down intervention thing with me and he was doing other things. And so then I could never tell my mom about it.
45:26🔗DrewBecky, how old was he? How old were you, rather?
46:20🔗AdamOkay. Here's the thing, everybody. I feel really bad for the people that were victimized in the past, but now you have four kids that you're going to screw up and unleash on to society, and then it becomes our problem. How you, it is child, look, you're much better having a parent in a wheelchair than a parent who was molested and never got any help. You're much better having a parent who's missing three limbs.
46:47🔗DrewYou're much better a parent in a coffin.
46:48🔗AdamIn a coffin, that's right, still alive, buried alive. Remember that you said, or actually putting arm and leg holes in the coffin and actually working that way. You'd have to open the door to feed them. Like a little kill bill too? Yeah, just either that, or actually, I'm picturing actually arm holes sticking out of the coffin and like people wear barrels. Sure. Yeah, that's a goth barrel wearer. Okay, we'll take ourselves a little break. Alex Borstein here and I'll be right back after this.
47:47🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Travis and Shayna are going to be in here tomorrow night for Meet The Barkers, MTV, Alex Borstein in here tonight.
48:01🔗AdamFrom The Family Guy. As you can tell, she plays Lois and Trisha Takanoa, and many other characters on the show. I also know her from Mad TV and I got some movies coming out. Let's see. Poor Jim, who also goes by Sam, has been on hold for 80 minutes now.
48:23🔗AdamWell, we talked to him minute 11 of the show when he dealt a verbal assault. Assault on our beloved guest. But it wasn't really anything. It was a little touché, but he suffered long enough. So let's see how his attitude is now.
49:02🔗CallerWell, I'm Jewish too, so there you go.
49:07🔗AdamShocking. You have to approach a perfect stranger to get into show business. Wow. Where are they? The Smarta business? What is that? What's the rank?
49:35🔗CallerAnyway, my question was for Alex about how she went about getting voiceovers for Family Guy, because that's something I've been interested in since I was like six.
49:46🔗Alex BorsteinI slept with Seth. I slept with everyone.
50:02🔗Alex BorsteinI don't think he was low, Drew.
50:03🔗AdamDrew doesn't have a whole ton of body hair, so I made that mistake, too. You're on the road.
50:07🔗Alex BorsteinI actually started doing Voice Over by, I mean, I did characters on Mad TV, but even before that, the first thing I ever did was the Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zio. I played the Evil Queen Machina.
50:29🔗Alex BorsteinYeah. Something you've never heard before, really an original.
50:33🔗AdamWow. All right. But we spoke about this last night when, well, okay, here's the thing. Seth Risen. We have bands in here. Everyone's know how to break in. Everyone's know how do you get that gig. It's a good gig. You're not going to get it, is the unfortunate part. In all the years we've done this, no one's really had any advice other than do, just sort of do, you know what I mean?
51:01🔗AdamBut it seems to me that voice over stuff is a route you get to through other means, like you start doing improv or sketch comedy or stand up or something like that and eventually-
51:12🔗Alex BorsteinYou find out you're too ugly to do things in front of people.
51:23🔗AdamNo one ever asks me how I do anything. They'll be asking me once in a while how I get to stuff.
51:27🔗DrewYou would think. You keep telling them it's in carpentry. So what are they going to say?
51:31🔗AdamYeah. Here's the whole thing. I think now with voice over work, you get your voice out there, people hear it and then they decide you'd be good for this role for the most part. Yeah.
51:44🔗Alex BorsteinI think too a lot of people forget that with a lot of prime time animation stuff, The Simpsons, and they're all really good actors. It's they're really good actors and they happen to do these great voices, and a lot of people forget that and just want to do a really funny voice, and it's scary.
52:01🔗AdamThe thing about going to these places where you make tapes and you pay someone 385 bucks and you get a little reel or something, and then you send it out to a bunch of agents who don't listen to it and throw it in the garbage, probably not the way to go. I would get involved with an improv troupe if I was a young Sam and I was interested in the voiceover stuff and see where it led him.
52:22🔗Alex BorsteinAlthough I would say doing those things where you pay and you get a demo, then you force to listen to it in your car over and over again.
52:28🔗Alex BorsteinAnd sometimes you're able to realize, this isn't my gift. This is not what I should be doing. So sometimes it's nice to only have to spend 400 bucks to find that out.
52:39🔗AdamSam, maybe we can tell you it's not your gift for free. Do you do any, do you do some voices?
53:05🔗AdamYes. From Drawn Together. I forgot about that show.
53:09🔗CallerThis was from the one where he was up with Princess Clara, trying to prank all the pizza things. Like, yeah, you know, I didn't remember ordering this pizza without sausage.
54:06🔗CallerFirst time. Okay, so semi-decent Sean Connery is, look, Dr. Drew, I got a question. It's about erectile dysfunction. I had it well, but it's a problem that I've got.
54:47🔗AdamI mentioned when you were 41. The point is, I'm going to do what Kurt would sound like. All right. I hope he's funny because otherwise there's nothing in it for me. But go ahead. Give us Meatmonger.
54:59🔗CallerDo you want a semi-decent Regis Philbin in the Meatmonger?
55:17🔗DrewHang on. Does Regis have a comment on that one?
55:19🔗CallerWell, I did Regis Philbin for years on MadTV. And it was very interesting because not only was I due at Regis Philbin, but I had to wear a fake forehead and false penis in my pants.
58:02🔗AdamRight. You don't want to appear to be like a man, but I think there's something very sensual. Drew, pull it together. I find something very sensual about the female form. Do you agree, Ms. Swan?
58:16🔗CallerOh, yeah. It's sensual. I think it's nice when they have a cushion.
59:32🔗AdamWell, I saw the salon but I didn't know you were this sort of experimental in your second professional.
59:38🔗CallerNo, almost married couple of times but I like to keep myself unattached and maybe you know explore a little bit. We only here for a little time, you know.
59:57🔗DrewThey come after you. And what do you say to them?
59:59🔗AdamDo you have a rap? Do you have something you would say?
1:00:01🔗CallerUsually the ladies say, hey, Miss Swan, you look like a lot of fun. Maybe you come, you show me good time, I show you everything and I say, okay, you do.
1:00:14🔗AdamAll right, so if I was a lady and I came in on the swan and I was, let's say, sort of narrow at the hip.
1:00:27🔗CallerThat's for the breast to be concave.
1:00:29🔗AdamYeah, yeah, yeah. Concave chest, spine showing through the back, but huge knees.
1:00:35🔗DrewI'm just wondering where this sort of aesthetic ideal comes from. Well, Drew, I'm trying to do a role playing. I'm trying to do some role playing. But I mean, where you live, what kind of animal life is it? The marine life, animal life?
1:00:45🔗CallerIn the country I come from, in Kuwariya, it's close to the North Pole.
1:00:50🔗CallerAll the time, there's no public transportation. You got to go, you walk everything all the time. Sometimes it's so cold, you had to walk on a knee. So, it's stopping you know, you develop a big knee.
1:01:06🔗AdamAnd then it becomes a turn on it. So, I remind you if someone's from your homeland. So, if I was just to come in as a female with small shoulders and huge knees, how would it go? And I'd say like, I would like a cuticle push and maybe a brow pluck or maybe that's hitting a little too close to home.
1:01:26🔗Alex BorsteinI would say, I would say shh.
1:01:40🔗AdamBut what if you didn't get me at first? I was like, look, I'm just, Drew, we're doing some role playing here, please. I'm just in, I just want to get a wash in a condition and I'm going to be on my way to work.
1:01:51🔗CallerOh, then I say, okay, just a wash condition. I'm not going to chase the lady, Adam.
1:02:53🔗CallerYou know, Drew, everything means something. Sometimes somebody just like to make with the vagina and the penis. They're not abuse. Sometimes apple is just an apple, you know?
1:03:05🔗AdamThat's right. And banana is still banana. That's, you know, in your ass.
1:03:09🔗CallerYeah. Sometimes, you know, you got to do what you got to do.
1:03:13🔗AdamYou want the horn of plenty. That's Minka, number one Asian pig boob queen.
1:03:47🔗DrewWhat is that ethnicity, though? I couldn't quite, is that sort of an Indian or an Asian? She knows Ms. Swan.
1:03:56🔗Alex BorsteinMs. Swan is just a mal, she's based on my grandmother. She's an amalgamation of just every immigrant you've ever met and wanted to tear their hair out because you know they know what you want them to say and they're just playing with you and that's, so we just created, she's from a place called Kuvaria, which is near the North Pole.
1:04:13🔗AdamThere's a certain amount of mileage. I never really think about it, but you could get out of a little language barrier and people not knowing what you're talking about. You're sort of always covered.
1:04:26🔗AdamWell, it can be passive aggressive and it can just be the ultimate sort of out all the time. You can always say you misunderstood and people always just sort of, here's the good. The good news is you don't always get the respect you should, but I mean the bad news is, but the good news is people don't really hold you down to stuff. They're always sort of like, you just tell me.
1:04:55🔗CallerOkay. I don't know. I'm a mess. I left this guy that I've been dating for four years about five months ago. In that time period, I've slept with nine people and I haven't used protection any of those times.
1:05:15🔗AdamFour months? Did you say five years ago?
1:05:36🔗DrewWell, maybe not intimacy, but the fear of somebody you feel intimate with leaving is so profound that you have to leave them before they leave you. Then the actual experience of leaving is so overwhelming that you start acting out. That's sort of what Donna is talking about here.
1:05:55🔗AdamYeah, we have scurry phone lines. You were with just one night stands with these nine guys?
1:06:03🔗CallerSome of them and some of them I actually dated.
1:06:07🔗AdamWhy didn't you hook up with them once you stay with any of those guys?
1:06:13🔗CallerI ended up, well, with all of them, I ended up creating some huge drama. And I, you know, either they'd end the relationship or I would. And it was just, you know.
1:06:24🔗DrewBut you're still reenacting this trauma over and over and over again, this believing drama.
1:06:28🔗AdamWell, what happened? Where's your dad? He cut out?
1:06:32🔗CallerHe's still here. I just kind of, well.
1:06:47🔗CallerMy mom is still here. When I was little, when I was about 13, she was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown. And she's been in and out of hospitals.
1:06:58🔗DrewWhat is her, nervous breakdown doesn't mean anything. What was her diagnosis?
1:07:02🔗CallerI've never really known. I know that her and I take the same medication.
1:07:15🔗CallerI'm bipolar and obsessive compulsive.
1:07:17🔗DrewAnd have they given you a personality disorder diagnosis?
1:07:22🔗CallerNo. I used to see a therapist who was really great, and he always said that I was extremely codependent, and that I had a borderline personality.
1:07:32🔗DrewThat's what I was looking for. Because all this abandonment stuff is borderline. All right.
1:07:38🔗DrewGo back into treatment, Donna. You're for some reason been traumatized by this rupture in this relationship, and you sort of perseverate. You repeat it over and over and over again, the trauma in these newer relationships. It's a crazy thing that humans do, when something was really painful to them, they go do it again. They do it over and over and over again repeatedly, even in these sorts of spurts like this. And for her to kind of contain, she's gonna need somebody to help her contain. And I'm not, you've had therapy, I can hear that you've had some work, but really you need help now containing yourself. That Seroquel is a sort of a containing medication. It is. Yeah, it's sort of a ego glue, some people think of it as that kind of medicine. Yeah. And you need help now. And so once you get out of this cycle, I think you'll be okay.
1:08:21🔗Alex BorsteinEgo glue, I'm gonna get some for Seth MacFarlane.
1:08:25🔗AdamKid's out of control. Came in here drunk. I think he was hopped up on the nose candy, by the way. Been doing the booger sugar. Yeah, he took a backhanded engineer, Chris, because he couldn't get coffee fast enough.
1:08:55🔗AdamWell, let me tell you something. I, now I was gonna say I demand a lot of myself and other people, but I really just demand a lot of other people. I don't really hold myself to that same that same standard. It's too it's first off, it's too lofty. And secondly, I'd be disappointed in myself. And by the way, why hold yourself to the same high standard you hold other people there?
1:09:14🔗AdamYou know, I mean, when you go in and get your your brakes fixed on your car, you don't hold yourself to the same high standard that the brake job place does. You hold them to a higher standard, right?
1:10:51🔗AdamYeah, I don't know. I mean, I could imagine if you spilled some gravy on your anus, you'd have to bleach it just to get the stain out. You know how tough grass stains can be on the anus, Drew?
1:11:21🔗AdamWhat are you doing with iodine? They always throw in the blood too, which is always a weird one. How about at a certain point, go ahead and toss the shirt, you get enough blood on it, it's called evidence.
1:11:32🔗DrewYou guys call it masculine. What do you guys call it? Masculine?
1:11:34🔗AdamOh yeah. For male proteins. In the man show, we had a masculine. They specialize in male protein stains.
1:12:29🔗DrewWhat, because you get excited and you can't-
1:12:31🔗CallerYeah, sometimes I like them to scream. I like the pain for the girl who want, who want tidy. I say, why so tidy? You know the jungle is a jungle. You live in a jungle.
1:12:42🔗DrewIn the old country, you would never do that, would you?
1:12:59🔗AdamBig Civil War from Ms. Swann's country. She was a Sandinista. We're going to take a quick break. Drew loves Ms. Swann. We take a quick, I do too. Take a quick break. Alex Borstein here tonight will be right back after this.
1:13:41🔗AdamHey, everybody. It's Loveline. Travis is going to be in here along with his wife, Shanna, Shanna. It's spelled S-H-A-N-N-A. She doesn't say Shanna to me. But they're going to be in here tomorrow night from Meek to Barkers.
1:14:19🔗AdamThere, I cut a fart. Hey. Alex is leaving and going to New York early tomorrow morning to do the Family Guy stage show. So she's going to hang with us for one more and say good night. We will talk to Tim, who's 23, who beats off 20 times a day. Tim?
1:14:41🔗CallerIt varies, but sometimes I can go upwards of more than 20.
1:15:45🔗DrewAll right. So the way you judge whether or not you've got a problem is by the consequences. And if you're spending a lot of money, if you're looking into weird stuff, if you're screwing with relationships, if you don't have time to work, you got a problem.
1:15:56🔗AdamWell, hold on. If it takes him longer than-
1:16:19🔗Alex BorsteinThat's what we call a ghost chaser.
1:16:21🔗I feel like the third time nothing comes out.
1:16:23🔗AdamHold on a second everybody with your endless orgasms. For a woman, you can have yourself a multi-orgasm. I'm not going to rub it in your face, but guys, something's got to come out.
1:16:33🔗DrewIn order for it to be an orgasm or? It would be worthwhile.
1:16:36🔗AdamYou can have a little sensation and all that, but you tell me you're pulling, cranking off 20 a day. I'm going to need to see something.
1:16:44🔗DrewThat's a good point. It's hard to imagine that you wouldn't get prostate inflammation or problems, hepatitis from all that action. Even urethritis from all what you'd have to do to yourself to get it to go that many times.
1:16:55🔗AdamNothing comes out. How do you know when you're done?
1:16:57🔗DrewHere's the thing. Experience. It feels like I'm going to look like a man. It feels like an orgy.
1:17:03🔗AdamI understand that. Hey, Tim. Yeah. Drew's being extraordinarily easy on you. This is at least compulsive.
1:17:12🔗DrewYeah, I could dig. Here's the deal. Do you have a sexual trauma history in childhood? Like, do we expose a lot of pornography and stuff when you were little?
1:17:19🔗CallerNo, not more than any other kid, no.
1:17:21🔗DrewYeah. What were you exposed to and how old were you?
1:17:25🔗Like, there's this college guy that lives next door to me when I was like 15.
1:17:28🔗CallerHe was in the corner on the trash and we'd look at the magazines.
1:17:31🔗AdamAll right. Tim, we don't really believe you because you don't really have a question.
1:17:35🔗CallerWell, I was just wondering if it was weird at all because it doesn't seem normal.
1:17:39🔗AdamWell, look, ask every single one of your friends that averages five times a week, if you averaging 162 times a week is normal and see what kind of answer you get. You have to get on the horn and stay on hold for 20 minutes, to find out beating off 20 something times a day is a little excessive.
1:17:57🔗CallerI don't mean by normal, I just mean is there anything to do.
1:18:00🔗DrewHere's how that happens if in fact it does. Some people, that's their rhythm. More often than not, that's a thing. But more often than not, it's-
1:18:09🔗AdamNo one's rhythm is 20 something times a day.
1:18:11🔗DrewHe's not saying every day, he said he's done it. He's been this person's best.
1:18:14🔗AdamHe has some days that are in the teens.
1:18:22🔗Alex BorsteinI wish I could go to the movies, guys, but I got to beat off.
1:18:27🔗AdamAfter, look, when I start getting into the high teens, it's like the guy who works at the doughnut factory, and then somebody brings a baker's dozen home. It's like, come on, I'll eat it. Don't get me wrong. I'll left that doughnut, but I'm not going to enjoy it.
1:18:43🔗DrewBut here's the deal. A manic phase of a bipolar can get hypersexual like this. People with sexual abuse histories in childhood become hypersexual periodically like this, and maybe not explicit or overt sexual abuse, sometimes people are exposed to lots of pornography and stuff early on.
1:18:58🔗AdamAll right. But let me say what could cure all of this. The Army. You know what I mean? Now, we always talk about these, what people are doing and compulsivity and all this kind of stuff and pathology and everything.
1:19:12🔗DrewI have psychology. I have friends who say that would cure addiction, too.
1:19:15🔗AdamWell, here's the thing, a real good schedule is going to help with many early 20 guys. You start getting up at 6 in the morning doing pushups. So tired, you can't keep your eyes open when you come home late that night, you just crash out and start the whole thing again. There'll be no more beating off 20 times a day. This is a guy, pardon the pun, has a lot of time on his hands. And 20-year-old guys have got a lot of time on their hands. They got their schvanz in their hands. That's the next thing that goes in the hand. Time in one hand, nivya in the other.
1:19:46🔗Alex BorsteinI prefer a penis in the hand as opposed to a gun.
1:19:49🔗AdamYeah, yeah. Although, I will occasionally use sex as a weapon and try to stab someone with my penis.
1:19:56🔗Alex BorsteinI love it. A man who quotes Pat Benatar is a man for me.
1:19:59🔗AdamYeah, she asked somebody to stop using sex as a weapon. And then start talking about how hell is for children, Drew. Oh, have you seen me belt that out karaoke night?
1:21:01🔗AdamLet's hope it's artificial insemination because otherwise that's just wrong. Or it's Germany. Caitlin, thank you for shedding some light on that.
1:21:11🔗AdamBy the way, hold on. Phone screeners. Has information on anal bleaching. She's mispronouncing it. Is there information? Like, I mean, what if we just said, we need some information on psoriasis. And somebody called and says, as information on psoriasis, and says, I think it's called papitis. That's your information? You're mispronouncing what it's, you just mispronounce it?
1:21:37🔗Alex BorsteinIt's called papyrus, it's a fruit.
1:21:38🔗AdamThat's your information? That doesn't count as information, does it? You're mispronouncing what we're talking about? Okay, but.
1:22:14🔗DrewYeah, basically. Okay, well listen, it's starting to be, be honest with yourself about what really went down. Yeah, you're still having sex, you're still into him, and he wants to have a friendship.
1:22:22🔗Yeah, so basically I've been giving him everything he wants, like the whole, like.
1:22:29🔗Everything was fine though, like our friendship was the same, but recently like he's been like, we like spent a lot of time like late at night together and then the next day he'll like be a complete asshole to me in front of our friends.
1:22:41🔗Alex BorsteinOh, God, Caitlin, please tell me you didn't anally breach for him.
1:22:53🔗AdamThe guys break up, then they, here's the thing. It's really unfair. What they do is they hook up with somebody. They're not really that interested in them. They have sex. The person gets a little clingy. They say, we're too good of friends. This is not going the right way. Let's see if we can just break up. But I still want to keep my penis in you a couple of times a week. The chick is so into them that they'll take any form of relationship.
1:23:16🔗Alex BorsteinAnd they think they can change.
1:23:18🔗DrewBut then they convince themselves that that's the right thing to do. It's a friendship. We're just friends. You have to actually crack them and go, no, you're in love with this guy. What do you mean, he's your friend?
1:23:25🔗AdamIn their heart of hearts, they do think they can change them. But to the outside world, Or they change themselves. Or maybe to them, they're like, and then they convince themselves that they're progressive and it's 2005 and they can just have a nice sexual relationship with somebody, it's not gonna work. You're in love with the guy.
1:23:54🔗AdamAlex is heading straight to the airport. She likes to get her 22 hours before the plane takes off. Alex can be found this Sunday and every Sunday, forever, on Fox at 9 o'clock.
1:24:09🔗Alex BorsteinAnd check out my fabulous new website, alexborstein.com.
1:25:02🔗AdamYeah, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Alex Borstein has left the building. Little more show to go. Let's keep it going with Jason, who's 25, Jason.
1:25:27🔗CallerShe has bipolar and want to know if maybe she's overreacting and that's part of typical of bipolar.
1:25:36🔗DrewIt's typical of bipolar and common for bipolar to have other conditions like personality disorders.
1:25:41🔗AdamBut be honest, if we spoke to your wife and said, why do you want to divorce Jason, would you just say, well, he looked at a Playboy? I see.
1:25:51🔗CallerI don't know. There's a missing equation because she's not really naming a hundred things. But the Playboys were an issue and that was basically, we've been married for six months, that's really the only thing that we've argued about.
1:26:06🔗DrewWell, then there's something far more deeply going on with her, where she can't sustain in a relationship.
1:26:10🔗AdamYeah. On the other hand, Drew, if you don't have kids and someone's bipolar and they're talking about divorce, months six. Yeah.
1:26:19🔗DrewIt's going to be a long life otherwise. She what?
1:26:26🔗CallerFrom a relationship. She's only married one time with me though.
1:26:31🔗AdamThat's what we call old-fashioned, Drew. All right. Look, I don't know all the particulars. Here's what I do know. She's a handful. There's more than this than you just looking at a playboy on the pot, I'm sure. But either way, if it ain't happening and you guys are at the half-year mark.
1:27:05🔗AdamHow about she gets some therapy then for her condition?
1:27:09🔗CallerShe doesn't want it and she's not medicated. And she says that I was withholding information. You know, I didn't go into the marriage telling her about the playboys. You know, I wasn't going to lie about it.
1:27:19🔗AdamI actually brought pornography to my marriage. What are you talking about?
1:27:30🔗AdamYou know, people do that thing where they go like, look, when you marry me, you also welcome princess in your family. That's my schnauzer. That's my porn. Princess.
1:27:43🔗Adam7,000 pound beautiful glossy page- Bunker filled with porn. And when you marry me, you marry princess.
1:27:51🔗DrewWell, Jason, she's untreated bipolar. She sounds like she's getting manic and out of control. God only knows, but people are manic. They're irritable, paranoid, all kinds of crazy symptoms. They can think all kinds of crazy things because they're in an abnormal biological state. How about getting her to some proper care before you-
1:28:04🔗AdamAnd by the way, with a manic mom who's unmedicated, as far as the kid goes, better life to just get picked up by giant pelican and raised on the seashore.
1:28:26🔗DrewYou've said that many times about him.
1:28:27🔗AdamI want a pelican. Can I have a pelican?
1:28:30🔗DrewI imagine on your island in the Pacific.
1:28:33🔗AdamWell, no. What about my house? I mean, people have big dogs at Yamp all the time. I can't have a pelican. You know, I would feed it anchovies. I would do that thing where I did those three pier pylons all unevenly spaced and lashed together with rope. And it would just sit out there.
1:28:56🔗AdamLook at Rusty. Swallowing things whole. Every once in a while, he'd swallow something he wasn't supposed to swallow like the mailman or like a small car or something.
1:29:04🔗DrewYou see the mailman going down his throat.
1:29:05🔗AdamYou see the shape of him going down the gullet.
1:29:08🔗DrewDon't you feel bad though not letting Rusty soar around? They're so beautiful when they soar, those pelicans.
1:29:13🔗AdamThey're majestic birds. Yeah, I'd have them clipped.
1:29:17🔗AdamSo what's the deal? Jason, she can't treat herself or get treated. You got to get out of there. By the way, if she wants a divorce, I don't know what the threat of you leaving is going to do for her.
1:29:28🔗DrewRight. At a certain point, people are not at liberty to make decisions for themselves. If they're becoming acutely paranoid, a danger to themselves, others are gravely impaired. So she's heading towards impaired.
1:29:38🔗AdamDon't marry nut jobs, by the way. All right. I want to go fast. Sorry, Drew, I hit a little close to home there. Let's hurry up with Chris, because there's a stripper hookup question over here.
1:30:42🔗CallerI was like 18 or when I was 15, I was in a long term relationship for four years and I was living with him and I had like a normal boring job. One day, I just decided to become a stripper and it was like out call stripping where we would go to the people's houses. And then I just kicked him out and I started doing that. Then I got arrested and then like a month later, I got arrested again. So then within a day after I was arrested the second time, I moved out of town and I started going on this big time moving spree like where I just moved from town to town to town.
1:31:17🔗CallerLA area, sorry. And anyways, so then I started stripping in the club and then I started going on some crazy drug use. I got really big into methamphetamines. And then I started to use, I kind of tried heroin a little bit. And this all happened in a year and I met a lot of bad people.
1:31:36🔗AdamBy the way, this is engineer Chris's life exactly. You're describing his life. Just replace all that with one class at junior college and living at home. And you have exactly the same, oh go on his brother's Starbucks, get some free beer.
1:31:51🔗CallerWell my question is, I just recently moved back home because of the drug use. I'm trying to get sober. I have five days sober. And I just want to know, do I have some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder or will, I've been going to NA, will that even work for me?
1:32:12🔗DrewYeah, you may be bipolar. You clearly have a lot of trauma stuff going on. That can be sorted. You don't want to get too into that early in recovery because that just tends to fuel your desire to use.
1:32:24🔗AdamFocus on staying sober at the beginning.
1:32:25🔗DrewFocus on basics of sobriety, connecting with sober peers, going to NA three times a day, working with your sponsor, doing that step work. This is the basic stuff, the one day at a time part. Because all you're dealing with, all that will get sorted in good time. I do think, though, if you sound a little manic, and you might want to have a psychiatrist see you. Because if you are manic, you will go out, no matter how tightly you are connected to NA.
1:32:48🔗AdamAll right. We'll take ourselves a little break. We'll be right back after this. All right, guys.
1:33:02🔗AdamThis guy was a Simpsons. Magically, the next five things they do, well, they don't turn out very well.
1:33:08🔗DrewThey don't work. There are a couple of guys within it that it does. You still get to keep up the violence. It's like, you know.
1:33:17🔗AdamThat's it. I want to thank Alex Borstein for coming in here from the Family Guy and also Matt TV and our George Clooney movie.
1:33:23🔗DrewAnd Ms. Swan, too, for visiting. It was great. Oh, it's great. Yeah, nice to meet you. Very big, big news. I was really entertained by that.
1:33:29🔗AdamShane and Travis in here tomorrow night from Meet the Barkers. And until next time, it's Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
1:33:38🔗Alex BorsteinI wish I could go to the movies, guys, but I got to beat off.
