I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, Fond Number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Drew is a board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight. He's got himself a new movie out called Mysterious Skin.
1:43🔗
Drew
Joe, didn't it just look like Adam was like fighting with the evil octopus or something? It's like he's just flashing a cartoon or something. What is going on here?
1:56🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's weird. It was tied in a knot and I was bothered by that, believe it or not. True.
2:03🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I'm impressed, man. You can keep people interested on the radio and deal with your cords at the same time. I admire that.
2:08🔗
Adam
People interested on the radio. Thanks, brother. So tell us, all right, so let me just get, when did Third Rock from the Sun end? Four years ago.
2:39🔗
Adam
Yeah, no, I'm just sort of, and no one ever wants to talk about it. We don't want to talk about numbers. We'd like to talk about numbers. And then you hear about the old stars or Bob Denver made 186 bucks an episode, now he's doing Boat Shows and Pomona. That's Gilligan from Gilligan's Island. But in today's world, are you okay? You can't go travel around the world for the rest of your life and never work, but do you need to work?
3:05🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
What I will say is having done that show afforded me the opportunity to do movies like Mysterious Skin which had no financing from big companies, paid nothing but the union scale, and was you know being done by a bunch of people who just were doing it for the love and because they believe in it.
3:26🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The budget was, I don't know exactly what it was, it was like half a million dollars or something like that. Which you know most studio movies cost like twenty million dollars.
3:35🔗
Adam
I'm trying to think what the they must have a stat somewhere, average thing that's playing in the theater, I guess it changes from summer to winter or whatever but you know average thing that's in the theater when you take the 80 million dollar jobs and you weigh them out against the 3 million dollar jobs, you know 1952 average thing in December in the theater. You know it may be interesting to see that chart.
3:58🔗
Drew
And if you think about how a television show costs, it's like 150,000 dollars for an hour television, 500 for a movie.
4:20🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
But it doesn't look cheaply made. It was actually, the guy that made it, Greg Araki, who's made a bunch of movies in the past.
4:50🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
He had the experience and the wherewithal to prepare so heavily and put so much work into it that we could shoot it in 24 days and actually make it look really good. It's not one of these gritty-looking, low-budget, aesthetic, indie movies.
5:22🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Final Cut Pro 4, available at your local Apple store. That's what Greg cut the movie on.
5:33🔗
Adam
All right, well, easy on the passion. Drew's passionate, too, but you don't... Drew wants pie. Is... And was it shot like on a digital, like a three-chip camera?
5:43🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
No, it wasn't. It was shot 35 millimeter. Oh, really? It was because he was so... Greg knew this movie so well.
5:53🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Yeah, well, he... I mean, he could watch the movie in his head while we were making it.
6:25🔗
Adam
I was on the screen. How dare you? I play someone's boss. You know what I'm saying? All right. Now, oh, when is this coming out, by the way?
6:38🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
It's about two different guys who, when they're young, they both are abused by their little league coach. And it's really sexual abuse, sexual abuse.
6:50🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Yeah. Wow. But they cope with it in different ways. So they kind of become two opposite people. And the movie catches up with them when they're 18. And they become like opposites from each other.
7:06🔗
Adam
And now, how do you, how did you read, how did you get the material? Who gave you the script?
7:10🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
It was standard. I just got a script from my agent and I read it. And that's, you know, when it becomes not standard because most scripts are awful. And I know. I've written a few.
7:27🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Greg adapted a novel. The novel is also really good. Mysterious Skin, the book. And it's such a good script. You could just tell when you were reading it that, like, whoever wrote this really cares about it. And most scripts you read, they just sound like someone's trying to make some money.
7:42🔗
Adam
I wonder if Greg Araki ever got dittled by his T-ball coach because he's a little ambiguous sexually, as I recall. Now, back in the day, he was hooked up with What's-Her-Nose from 90210. Remember her?
7:57🔗
Yeah, who was that?
7:58🔗
Adam
I don't know, I can't remember. What was her name? What was his girlfriend or wife's name? She was also in this movie I was in.
8:04🔗
You were in Splendor.
8:07🔗
Splendor, you played my stupid boss.
8:09🔗
Adam
I told you it wasn't that movie you thought it was, but it may have been the one I thought it was, but it turned out it was a third. Splendor, yes?
8:20🔗
Adam
I was excellent. All right. Anderson, relax over there, buddy. You cool? You're cool. All right. Where are we? Taking calls.
8:31🔗
Drew
Adam Corolla. You know, when people, I was talking to a home, somebody was yelling Lauren's name, our Virginia Junior producer, I go, Lauren, I thought, Corolla.
8:41🔗
Adam
I'm trying to get the pool game, Joseph, trying to get the pool game Marco Polo, change to Adam Corolla.
8:49🔗
Adam
I know you probably have a lot of Hollywood friends. You could probably, you know, they all have pools out here.
8:58🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Yeah, but he actually feels very strongly about Spanish explorers from the 14th century.
9:11🔗
Yeah.
9:14🔗
Adam
Well, see if you can give him the play Marco Corolla, because to me that's a nice compromise. And it has a nice sound to it.
9:27🔗
Adam
But it could be your worst nightmare, too, if you piss him off. Do not piss Marco Corolla off. Uh-uh, he'll make short work of your ass.
9:41🔗
Caller
Yes, correct. Well, I was just wondering, because, OK, I go to the University of Kansas and I had to take a women's studies class for one of my humanity requirements, and they said something. We had a pamphlet that we got from some feminist organization, and they said that vitamin C taken in high doses could bring on menstruation or even cause an abortion. Do you know anything about that?
10:10🔗
Drew
In what context? I mean, you can take almost... There are many, many medications you can take that will potentially harm or kill a baby.
10:20🔗
Drew
C is not something you'd sort of think of high in your list of something that's going to induce an abortion, but there are many things that can damage the ufetus.
10:27🔗
Adam
Well, here's the whole thing, too, when they go, in large enough doses, in large enough doses, air will kill you. Stick your head out of an airplane.
10:39🔗
Adam
Yeah, and it'll crush you, too, if it lands on you. The metric ton of carob lands on you and it'll crush you, Drew.
10:46🔗
Adam
Well, you gotta eat, you know, you have to eat like a Winnebago-sized Hershey Kiss, and then eventually it'll kill you. Yeah, I mean vitamin C, yeah.
11:05🔗
Drew
If there, when there are reliable ways to induce abortion, doctors will give you those options. That's what we do. Here's the way to have an abortion. When there are ways that may only damage, that may only damage the uterus or damage the child or damage you, that's not what we're going to offer you.
11:21🔗
Adam
Well, I did my, I had a girlfriend back in the 20s where we were pregnant and the doctor told her, no, she had 2,700 Flintstones chewables.
11:39🔗
Adam
Stay away from the Wilma's. They had estrogen in them, she said. I don't know if she was right or not.
11:49🔗
Drew
No, no, she had something, you were shooting a time with the contact. You having your period on what?
11:53🔗
Caller
Okay, the last time I had my period was April 5th. So, but I'm normally four to five weeks, so it would have been, so I'm two to three weeks late, just depending.
12:06🔗
Caller
Well, okay, when I realized that I was late, I started taking vitamin C just because, I don't know why. And then I took a pregnancy test and it came up negative, but then I was wondering, well, maybe it's vitamin C that is causing-
12:21🔗
Drew
No, Chelsea, you seem so distrustful of everything. I mean, you don't believe a pregnancy test, you won't get some help for this, you won't go get proper abortion services, if that's what you want. What is this about? I mean, it's like alarming to hear you talk like this. You're a college student and you're going to figure out for yourself your own gynecological services? A gynecologist. I mean, you're in college for before. Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.
12:56🔗
Drew
You don't have a student health service organization that will just take you in and look at you?
13:40🔗
Adam
I can't save everybody. Well, there's certain people on a self-destructive path. They gotta let them go. Can't stop them.
13:46🔗
Drew
Well, there's many things we can cause to your menstrual irregularities. The top things, of course, are pregnancy, but there are several others you need an evaluation. Vitamin C is going to do nothing.
14:02🔗
Adam
Look, here's all I'm saying. If people do this thing where they think they can't get an erection because they're smoking too many cigarettes at 21, it does nothing. Eating pot, smoking pot, nothing. Booze, nothing. Nothing does anything under about the age of 40, really. Just go ahead and do whatever you want. Yeah, and all those people that, you know, the vitamin C or the roots or the ginseng or the jojoba, it only does stuff for crazy people. But that doesn't affect your actual function.
14:28🔗
Drew
You know, I just had a meeting today with people who are going to come out with the new premature ejaculation pill. Remember we had that dad on that? It really works.
14:39🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I don't know. In my experience, sex is just way more mental than what you can control with a pill.
14:53🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I just know that I've had my share of experiences where I come quicker than a minute and a half and it's usually because for various reasons of what's going on in my head.
15:03🔗
Drew
There's a few million men that can't get past a minute and a half no matter what the circumstances and when you give them a serotonin transport inhibitor, they go to about four minutes. So you can do that. And the interesting thing in this study, which was several thousand men, is that it increased the satisfaction of the partner in partners who weren't complaining about dissatisfaction, which I found interesting. Yeah, but they still felt like...
15:26🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
You could increase their serotonin levels, but you could also tell them to stop subscribing to Max and Magazine.
15:35🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
No, I'm not talking about a placebo, I'm talking about maybe there's something else going on in their life besides their physical, chemical...
15:41🔗
Drew
But some of them are 20, some of them are 60, and they've all had the problem their whole life.
15:46🔗
Adam
Well, whatever, look, here's the thing, Joseph's saying maybe it's up in their head, maybe it is, whether it is or not, it's in there and ain't coming out.
16:05🔗
Drew
I mean, the problem is, we're not supposed to live past 40. We're not supposed to live past 40. We're really not supposed to live past 40.
16:11🔗
Adam
Here's my thing with that pill, Drew. I break it in half, half goes in the mouth, the other up the urethra.
16:21🔗
Drew
Remember we used to have those things that give erection by pushing up the urethra? Remember that? Back in the day, we used to do Love Line TV. That was the way, that was the Viagra then.
16:29🔗
Drew
We had a shot inside the penis. We had those little suppositories that went in the urethra.
16:46🔗
Yes.
17:07🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I cannot imagine being in the mood after injecting... Injecting yourself. Oh, my God.
17:13🔗
Drew
Imagine you had end-stage heart disease or end-stage kidney disease. You had about four years to live.
17:26🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I don't know, man. I think I'd be so traumatized. Because the last thing I would want to do would be have sex after each.
17:30🔗
Adam
That would be the first week of not being able to have sex. By year number four, you'd be fine. Give me the needle, Doc. Shirley? Yeah. You're 21? Joseph, obviously a man of passion as well, Drew.
18:01🔗
Caller
Well, okay. My thing is, since I was 18, well, when I was 18, I started having phone sex with my boyfriend who was in the military. Now, it's to the point where I cannot get off without phone sex.
18:18🔗
Caller
Honestly, yes. And that's driving me crazy. And like, no matter what we're doing, I can't get off unless I'm on the phone.
18:33🔗
Caller
No, that doesn't work. Like a lot of these times I call, there's these, you see on TV for these numbers, like live links or something, I'll call that even if he's not around.
19:07🔗
Adam
Hold on a second, it's physically impossible for him to be on top of you and on the phone unless you have a couple of soup cans and some yarn.
19:15🔗
Or two cell phones.
19:19🔗
Adam
No, I know, I know, he's saying he won't try that. I mean, he doesn't want to be on you while you're on the phone with some guy from the 900 number.
19:29🔗
Caller
Well, yeah, but it doesn't have to be some guy. I mean, it's just like even if he would try, which I know it sounds weird, but it would help me. Even when I'm not there, I can't get off the boat.
19:46🔗
Adam
He's on the phone. Is he in the next room? Is he on her? What would she like him to do? He can't be in her and on the blower at the same time.
20:09🔗
Caller
Well, I understand that, but he won't even, like when he's home, he won't have phone sex with me anymore. He only did it because he was away.
20:20🔗
Caller
I tell him and he gets mad at me because I can't orgasm and I'm trying to tell him why I can't.
20:36🔗
Caller
I don't know. I know I love to be called names and things like that. And he's tried that and that doesn't help me.
20:51🔗
I'm going to Hawaii.
20:54🔗
Drew
Think very hard about what it is that you are into with this and see if you can re-evoke the same thing when you're actually with your boyfriend. All right.
21:15🔗
Adam
That never stopped people from having them. Right. That's my mom. But you're very sad. Here's the thing. It's it's we were abused in any way. Were you abandoned? Was there any problems?
21:28🔗
Caller
My dad moved out when I was four and my mom went through like five different guys, like I have siblings to four other people.
21:39🔗
Adam
Yeah. All right. I'm going to try some more time. I've been wrong every single time I've tried it. But this time, Drew, I know I'm on. I know I'm on because I can feel it. Jew, Jewish family. Shirley, you're calling from Pennsylvania. You have five siblings from five different dudes you've danced with to see. Amish, Amish, Amish. Asian or Jew? Which is it? Neither.
21:59🔗
Oh my God.
22:15🔗
Adam
I'm very intuitive. And my batting average is very high on this show. I guess people are truck drivers. I have been wrong on this Asian Jew thing at least 50 times in a row.
22:59🔗
Adam
As far as this problem goes, you're going to have to work it out with this guy. He's got to play ball a little bit with you. On the other hand, he doesn't have to completely indulge you because he has a feeling maybe this is going to spin off. You're going to lose your relationship.
23:12🔗
Drew
I like to see her convert whatever it is that she likes about that into the real setting, into the flesh meeting. Let's have some pie.
23:34🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
They need a new like handset with sexual attachments so that you could have that kind of...
23:45🔗
Drew
Did you find the name of the suppository? Yeah, it's, I'm learning a lot of things. Yeah, that's good.
23:58🔗
Adam
It was called Muse, you're right. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight. Mysterious Skin is the name of his new movie out in theaters on May... what?
24:12🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
It came out in New York on May 6th. It's coming out on Friday in LA. The Sunset Five.
24:16🔗
Adam
New York, LA., and if you guys like it, we'll fill those parts in in between. So, we'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
24:25🔗
1-800-LOVE-1-9-1. Loveline.
24:28🔗
Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. We'll be right back.
24:51🔗
Adam
Hey, everybody. Ridiculous city we live in. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phoner, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight from Mysterious Skin. It is coming out tomorrow in Los Angeles. I was just finishing a thought, but here's how effed up the city is. If you need to know anything about this great city of Los Angeles. When I did used to do work, I did earthquake rehab for the city for a while, downtown LA. They gave me the status of laborer because I was the best carpenter and the laborers got paid more. In normal society, laborers at the time would get $7 an hour and the carpenters get $16 an hour.
25:39🔗
Adam
In LA city, the laborers got $19 something an hour and the carpenters got $17.55 an hour.
25:45🔗
Drew
So basically the guy that's worked for 9 years gets less than the guy that walks off the street.
25:50🔗
Adam
Yeah, yeah. And then the other thing was is there was a little EEOC requirements too. So we had to have like a chick, Vietnamese guy, black guy, and a Chinese guy. So if we couldn't find any chicks or Chinese guys, black guys who actually were in the earthquake rehab. So our black guy was a guy named Chipper, who was I think like a dancer by trade. I gave him one of my tool bags. So we had a tool bag and he had like a Gucci belt threaded through it in this one tool bag hanging off it. And he would wear loafers and he knew nothing. And he got paid the same as everyone else who had been there for 10 years. Cause we had to round out the ethnic totem pole.
26:33🔗
Adam
It's for the better. It's for the better. It is for the better. That's your taxpayer dollars at work, everybody. And the chick, forget about it. We found something for her to do. Like, just walk in the circle on the sidewalk until we're done working. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Let's talk to Mike, who's 17.
26:54🔗
Mike? Yeah, hello?
26:58🔗
Adam
How far was that receiver from your face, Mike, that it took that much effort to get it back to your cheek?
27:23🔗
So how long is that for you?
27:26🔗
Caller
You basically take three pills every day for two weeks, then you take two weeks off. And I also took estrogen blockers. Basically, that's just like to help my liver.
27:44🔗
Drew
That doesn't do anything for your liver. In fact, it could be a little tougher on your liver.
27:47🔗
Adam
Hold on. Again, I know I've been burned before tonight, but I'm going to you. I'm going to you. I just, I know when I hear a Jewish calling for Fresno, he's on the juice. Mike, you Jewish?
28:00🔗
Oh!
28:10🔗
Adam
What's that? And it could have been Joseph, by the way. What do you, what are you doing? Do you smoke? What do you do? Just hang up?
28:29🔗
Drew
Steroids, I'm saying it could be, the steroids will do it too, absolutely. But he's off it now. Why is he still, and we didn't get to find out how long he's been off the steroids. The two together will profoundly affect sexual function. Yeah, right.
28:46🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
No, I'm saying, you know, it's certainly good for your erectile function.
28:50🔗
Drew
No, not for a lot of guys. In fact, it raises estrogen levels and causes breast enlargement in many men, particularly around his age.
28:59🔗
Adam
It doesn't, Drew. And no one, no one ever knows Smoke's Pot has breast enlargement, men, 17 year old, one in 10 billion.
29:12🔗
Adam
I know, but this, it never happens, Drew. It's, it's always, it's a genetic thing. The weed ain't gonna do anything. But look, he had the pot laugh. That's what, that's what set Drew off. And also here's the affirmative on the weed smoking. He hung up when Drew asked him to show up. He freaked out. But let me explain something, stoners. You can go ahead and lie. Or you can go ahead and say, yeah, I'm high now.
29:35🔗
Drew
And by the way, we don't care. I don't care, he smoked pot, it's fine. We're just gonna try to figure out why your penis doesn't get hard.
29:41🔗
Adam
But I will say to this guy, he's 17, he's on the juice, he's on the weed, this kid's rangy.
29:50🔗
Drew
Yeah, a little older. When I see the young, the 20-year-olds under, it's usually pot, a stimulant in the weed and the juice, they go together.
29:58🔗
Adam
Most juicers, high school juicer guys, go towards stimulants. High school juicer guys are jocks.
30:09🔗
Adam
Not usually the same guy who's smoking the herb and doing the juice. The juice is just the juice and the aggressive. Or maybe it's just nothing, it's just Mickey's big mouth in the parking lot after the Friday Night Game. All right.
30:22🔗
Drew
I'm telling you almost always, almost always, they're doing stimulants and the juice. That's the combination.
30:33🔗
Drew
And then a certain percentage of those are a smoking pot. And the reason being is a lot of the marijuana will eventually induce a depression, the stimulants relieve that, so that sort of puts a little fuel in the stimulants.
30:45🔗
Adam
Nothing happens. Here's what goes on. The reason the guys who are on the Jews are also doing the stimulants is because they're open for business.
30:57🔗
Adam
Well, if you're a 17 year old and someone says, look, you're going to take steroids, you'll take anything. Do you know what I mean?
31:16🔗
Adam
Yeah. No, they do anything they can get their hands on. This stuff's easier. The stimulants, people cook it up at home, they get it cheap. Believe me, I know what the kids are up to. And yes, they're aggressive guys. They're jacked up guys.
31:42🔗
Adam
Let me explain something. You see everybody like my sister, when I asked her what percentage of society was gay and she said 90 percent. She worked at a hair salon in Silver Lake. You're overwhelmed where you're working. I know everything, Drew. I don't need to go count heads or look at a book that places them out.
32:00🔗
Drew
You know everything about what you experience. I got to broaden your experience a little bit because it's been a little while since you got out of high school. A little while.
32:14🔗
Adam
Except usually. Yeah, but see, Drew, we end up arguing because you say, you're turning into the guy you hate, which is, yeah, there's a very small percentage that does. Of course there's guys who smoke weed and do the juice.
32:30🔗
Yeah.
32:35🔗
Caller
Okay, so there's this guy, this is gonna sound kinda gross, but okay. There's this guy that I'm hooking up with, I'm having sex with, and he wants to do it in the butt. And I've never done that before. And I think, I don't know, like, I just don't think that, it just doesn't sound appealing to me. You know, I don't think I would be turned on by it. And my question is, why are guys so, like, why is it so appealing to them?
33:04🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I can't really speak to this. This is not actually something that is not my thing, though.
33:13🔗
Adam
Drew doesn't get it at all. But boys, he give it, I'll tell you what. Ask any of his ladies.
33:19🔗
Hey, Melissa, is it like a gay thing?
33:21🔗
Adam
Like, no, no, no. Here's here's. Let's see if we can break down the anal maniacs. Wait, what?
33:46🔗
Adam
He's got it. Well, okay, so here's the thing. Let's try to break this down. They're the guys who do it. I would say 80 percent of the anal guys are just, no, no, okay, I'm going to revise this. 70 percent of the anal guys are just aggressive guys. They just, their whole thing is, is I like to hurt a woman a little bit when I'm on top of her. I ain't into the passionate love making.
34:09🔗
Drew
I think some guys like to hurt, they get this feeling, like not actually hurting, but as though they were hurting a woman with their penis.
34:25🔗
Adam
It's almost the same. There's, it's, it's the degrade them. There's a little degrading. There's a little sort of conquest and degrade. It's not, not so much that you, you beat the opponent. It's that you, you put a whooping on them.
34:38🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Well, it's like, if she would let me do this, then I must be really badass.
34:42🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's really, it's all the same feelings that are floating around. But it's also an element of guys who degrade women to a certain degree.
34:51🔗
Adam
Then, because these guys, by the way, these are all guys who watch a ton of porn, too, I would say.
34:58🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I also know, you know, people, friends of mine who are very loving couples who do it all the time.
35:07🔗
Adam
The Stewards. So, the other, the other thing is, is then there's the sort of 20% that are just like, hey, it's tighter. It feels good. There's, there are, okay, 10%.
35:22🔗
Adam
They're just, it's just, they're just like, there, there are the guys that are so sort of sexual. Now, I know they're not passionate, but they're like, they want to eat a woman when they, when they get them in bed. I mean, there's nothing they don't, you know, these are the guys who want to go down on them for four days. And 69 for, you know, a couple of those.

Adam
I do, too, if you count, I mean, if you call pleasuring them, performing oral on me. If that's what you mean by pleasuring, and I think I read you, Joe, that's me, too. I'm into it. I love the pleasure woman.
36:06🔗
Adam
Oh, no, I can read you. That's my thing. I read, that's how, when I was wrong about the Jew thing, that's why I was surprised. But, all right, how about the guys, it just, they like getting dirty when they're having sex. Like, they just like digging in. The stuff needs to be flying.
36:37🔗
Drew
You just had that pot. Well, listen, there's also a certain amount of it motivated by women, because there's some women that are very much into this. Right, right.
36:48🔗
Adam
There's about a 70, 80% chance you got a guy that's, and then there's the check it off the list guy.
36:54🔗
Drew
Right. I just think it's a bad, you're just likely to create resentment. Good way to make your women resent you.
37:02🔗
Yeah.
37:04🔗
Oh my God. No.
37:21🔗
Adam
And look, it's like when people talk about, oh, you've never had calf brain, it's awesome. And I go, no, I don't. And they go, you got to try it. And I go, no, no, I just don't.
37:36🔗
Drew
And think of all the things you missed eating that day instead of the calf brains. You know what I'm saying?
37:39🔗
Adam
Yeah, I'm just, I know there's certain asks I don't want to do. I know there's certain stuff I don't like. I can kind of feel it or taste it before I do it. And that's another interesting point. I do believe that people can sort of, if you take a moment, you can feel what things would feel like. Like, I've never surfed a 20-foot wave, I've never surfed a 10-foot or a 5-foot wave. I know what it would feel like. Do you know what I'm saying? I know what the calf brain would taste like. I know jumping out of an airplane feels like I've never done it. I know what it feels like. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. When you have dreams, by the way, that's what you do. You just jump out of a plane and it feels like it would feel. I know what anal sex feels like.
38:21🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Haven't you ever done anything before and you're like, oh my God, this is not at all what I expected it to be like?
38:40🔗
Adam
Not that that not something that was really good, but something that was really different than what you thought it would be like.
38:48🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I once I mean, since you used this example, I once ate crocodile. It wasn't what I expected it to be like at all.
38:57🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
What was it like? Well, I expected it to be, you know, everything kind of tastes like chicken or something.
39:04🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
It didn't, though. It really tasted like unlike anything I'd really ever had. The closest thing maybe would be shrimp. But really, it wasn't shrimp. But it wasn't really.
39:20🔗
Adam
Well, I got to eat some some crocodiles out of that. Where can you get gator around here?
39:39🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Can we ask her if her man matches either of the archetypes that we were describing? Is he aggressive? Does he like pain?
40:10🔗
Not really.
40:26🔗
Drew
No, Melissa, that's the way he's using you, is just like, hey, this is the one I got to sort of test things out on and you're making it available to me, so let's try it all out.
40:50🔗
Caller
I just got out of a horrible, horrible, horrible relationship and I do not want to get tied down to anyone at all.
40:58🔗
Caller
Oh, my God, you don't even want to know. I just went out, I was with a psychotic person.
41:08🔗
Adam
What are you going to do, Drew? Can't care everyone. Just enjoy. Don't do anything you don't want to do. Don't get pregnant, don't get AIDS, and don't call. All right, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight. Name of the movie, Mysterious Skin, out tomorrow in Los Angeles. And we'll take ourselves a quick break. Be right back after this. Hey, everybody, Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LLVE-191-ER. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight. Mysterious Skin. Name of one of his many new movies coming out. Third Rock from the Sun is one of the many things you may remember him from. And well received. I like that Lithgow is actually one of my favorite actors.
42:18🔗
Adam
He's good and seems to be good. You know he was good in Garp. He was good. He was even good in Cliffhanger. Played a good heavy. He's good. He's good straight. He's good comedically. I think he's just good.
42:33🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
He always comes to play. That's the thing. He never phones anything in. He never like, you know, is just doing something for to like to placate somebody or make some money. Like he always tries really, really hard.
42:50🔗
Adam
I know, I know. That's what no that's play a match. No, you know, philosophically, that's that's what we parted ways. OK. But I still respect him. It's just we couldn't hang. That's all. What's the Lithgow up to? Is he doing something?
43:04🔗
Adam
See, I don't respect that. He's probably not getting paid that much. He's probably doing it for the art. Probably doing it for the love.
43:17🔗
Adam
Oh, and I don't want to talk to Kim. I got enough boner talk. I want to talk to Ashlyn. I don't know. She's we'll get back to you, Kim. Hang on. Ashlyn.
43:28🔗
Yeah.
43:58🔗
Caller
Like a distant family. So like they like I'm not even I don't I hardly know my. That's like the second time I've seen them.
44:10🔗
Caller
Well, yeah, I do. Well, I don't know. Like he looks younger for his age, but I don't know.
44:29🔗
Caller
No, I don't really tell. Like, usually, like, at first I didn't tell anyone, but now, like, I really don't care.
44:47🔗
Caller
No, yeah, yeah, I met him when I was, yeah. And I lied. I lied. I said I was really 18, so. I met him.
45:01🔗
Adam
Because eventually you gotta move up. All right, now, is he freaking out that you're going to tell your mom or your dad?
45:15🔗
Caller
No, like, well, I don't know my mom. I don't know. They trust me. They're just, they don't only like him because he's older, but...
45:41🔗
Caller
No, I'm just kidding. He's not a pediatrician. He's like a dentist. He's a general doctor, just like general.
46:00🔗
Drew
And you freaked out because you thought people were going to identify him now, a pediatrician, who should be identified and called out for his behavior, by the way. And by the way, you don't want this guy at handling kids, especially in adolescence.
46:10🔗
Drew
Somebody should make a report. Hey, it's not funny. Somebody should make a report to the board on this. It's very serious.
47:22🔗
Adam
Oh, wait, hold on a second. Here's all I wanna say. I wanna, I'm curious what she thinks. Does she think he's in love, they're in love, this is gonna work, it's not gonna work? What's her fantasy? You're gonna have to pry that out of her.
47:34🔗
Drew
It's gonna take you four minutes, let's take a break. She's got to be cracked like a nut. Cause she's so full of, it's all fluffy, and it's all fun, it's all game, whatever. No, no, no, no. We'll try, we'll crack her.
47:50🔗
Adam
Let's take ourselves a little break. We'll be right back to Crack Ashen like a nut after this. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight.
48:46🔗
Adam
He's got himself a little movie, which is coming out in Los Angeles, at least, starting tomorrow, Mysterious Skin. Gregor Rocky joined. Yeah, personal friend. I've worked with him before.
49:07🔗
Adam
We will move forward here and get back to Ashlyn who's 18. Ashlyn. So, yeah, you're dating the 42-year-old friend, former friend of the family.
49:24🔗
Adam
The doctor and you find him attractive and he's smart, but... Uh-huh. What's the long-term plan with this guy? Do you think maybe he'll get married or...
49:38🔗
Caller
I don't... I don't know. I just, like, I've never... I never like young guys. Like, I've always liked older guys. I don't know why. I have a problem or something. But I don't know.
50:15🔗
Adam
Yeah, but let me explain what's going on. You're into this guy. He's using you. He's using you for sex, and you know somewhere in the not-too-deep recesses of your mind that if you ever said, look, I need a commitment, we need to start getting serious here, he'd immediately pull back and...
50:34🔗
Adam
So you say, I'm just casually into him too. You're sort of dancing to his own beat, which is great for him, but stop lying to yourself and quit trying to do it to us. You're into this guy. He's not that into you. He likes the sex, and you know if you start pushing, and you probably have a time or two, your phone doesn't ring for a week.
51:07🔗
Adam
Thank you. That's why I was so surprised by the Jew thing earlier. I'm almost always right. Yeah, look.
51:15🔗
Adam
But let me just say this. We talk to women all the time. My boyfriend dumped me, and that was about six months ago, and now he just has sex with me, and that's okay with you. Oh yeah, it's cool. And you don't want to be boy, you don't want to get back together with him? No, I just, you know, it's a booty call for me. BS. You know, and many women are in this situation, we start pressing the guy, he's gone. You start trying to corner him, you start laying down the, hey, we're going out, we're going out in public. I'm going to start telling people, this is nonsense, it's gone on long enough. He's going to split. So you pretend like you like his plan, but you don't.
51:53🔗
Drew
No, you pretend this is your idea. You pretend, oh, I'm just having sex. I'm just like him, that's cool.
51:58🔗
Adam
Right. This also comes through in the, I've been with my guy for seven years, I'm 32. Why aren't you guys married? We don't want to get married.
52:07🔗
Adam
He, he doesn't. All right, Ashlyn, that's enough. This guy's a doctor, he's never been married, he's not going to start now, he's not a great guy.
52:17🔗
Adam
He's a friend of the family that's banging their 17 year old daughter. And by the way, friends of the family can do the math on how old the kids are. Like I happen to know the kids, Drew's kids are in their 20s and that they're fair game for me sexually. Yes, Drew? Thank you.
52:36🔗
Adam
So Ashlyn, you know what the answer is. Break it up and just find yourself a nice 20 year old guy.
52:44🔗
Caller
Yeah, like how do I like break it off? Because I don't know, like I want to, but then like, I don't know when I'm with him, then I get like all, you know...
52:50🔗
Drew
Cold turkey, it's heroin, cold turkey. Yeah, cold turkey and go out and do other things, take care of yourself, develop relationships, go to school, start working on your life.
53:05🔗
Adam
All right, baby, come on. And you know, here's what you don't realize and what everyone doesn't realize, these kinds of relationships just erode your self-esteem.
53:14🔗
Adam
You're weak now. You have no, you have no juice in your batteries. This guy's worn it away. This lie you've been living for the last year has worn away all your juice. You need to get your juice back.
53:25🔗
Drew
Somehow this is some remnant from your past. You're trying to solve some problem from the past this way and this is making things worse.
53:30🔗
Adam
All right, everybody, here's the plan. You cannot break up with someone like this and just focus on not talking to them. That just becomes obsession. You need to get involved with the rest of your life. You need your friends. You need your activities. What turns you on? What flips your cookie? Your work, your school.
53:49🔗
Adam
Your guitar, your poetry book, whatever it is. Your team, whatever it is. Hit them all. Hit them all hard. Up early every morning. Tons of exercise. Classical music. Go hang around with your buddies. And remember, your last easy day was yesterday. Let's go. Let's go.
54:15🔗
Semper Fi.
54:23🔗
Well, yeah, I'm kind of a fan of Joseph. Last time he was on your show, he was talking about Manic, and I went out and saw it.
54:33🔗
I wanted to ask Joseph whether you were going to stick with, you know, independent films or going to try to go to the full feature route or what you had planned.
54:43🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Man, I'm really glad you saw the movie. I'm really proud of it. I hope you get to see this one. It's called Mysterious Skin. You know, the way I feel about independent movies or big corporate movies is it's not so much a difference between indie and studio. It's whether the people that are doing them care about what they're doing, which sounds obvious, but a lot of people really don't. They're just kind of like, you know, ah, that's good enough, or like, well, it's really out of our control. We're just placating our boss. And, you know, both Manic and Mysterious Kid were made by people that really believed in them and cared about them. And that can exist in more big studio movies. And I hope to eventually do something like that. But as of now, I really hope you get to see this next movie, man. I think you'll really like it.
55:34🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Yeah, it's coming to Seattle. You can go to... there's a website, Mysterious Skin, The movie.com, and it tells the dates that it's coming out in all the cities so far. And I do know it's going to be in Seattle sometime in June.
55:48🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Adam, it's not 2009. It's something like June, like I said. Don't confuse him.
55:57🔗
Adam
Yeah, so I don't know where Seattle ranks. I mean, I know there's New York probably first in sort of indie art house, whatever, and then it goes to Los Angeles.
56:07🔗
Adam
I'm guessing, you know, Seattle's gotta be way up there, though, in the sort of progressive indie whatever vibe. Maybe just on the map in the last 10 years or so.
56:19🔗
Adam
I would think, yeah. So I guess the answer, yeah, go to the website, Bruce, but do you guys get, I mean, can you find movies that are a little off the beaten path over there in Seattle?
56:31🔗
Yeah, we've got a great district, kind of like the U district, the university district that shows a lot of artsy and off the wall things. And sometimes it's only for a weekend, so you really gotta be watchful, make sure you can catch it.
56:53🔗
You're welcome.
56:54🔗
Adam
Take care. That's how I was just looking at Joseph's credits here. Two Hollywood Reporter Young Actor Awards, best actor under 10.
57:03🔗
Two.
57:23🔗
Adam
You were doing TV. I mean, when you got the Hollywood Reporter, the two, by the way, under ten, that means...
57:36🔗
Adam
Over ten. Yeah. The point is, what were you on? Like, were you regular on something that I missed?
57:43🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think that was for A River Runs Through It. That was the first movie I ever did.
57:57🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Well, it just goes to show how much you know about the Valley in LA, Dr. Drew.
58:21🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Look, man, in tough conditions, bad rains, that breeds beautiful people.
58:28🔗
Adam
He's like a little Harlem Rose, just springing up from the cracks in the sidewalk. Where did you grow up in Van Nuys?
58:39🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Yeah, I was a wolf at Van Nuys High. That's true. Well, I grew up in Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks.
59:27🔗
Adam
Yeah. No wonder you love Van Nuys. You didn't live there. I know Studio City when I hear it.
59:46🔗
Adam
But I was wondering why you like Van Nuys, and I realized you were looking down on it while it was burning from your hillside manner.
1:00:10🔗
Adam
I'm going Jew. That's Foothill Jew, though. That's not Hebrew Heights. You've got to move a little closer to Lowell Canyon, too. I can really lock it in in this one area.
1:00:28🔗
Caller
I've been seeing a guy for probably the last month and a half, and he's been kind of hesitant to be with me because he's in a fraternity, and I dated his older brother in a fraternity, but he still has been hanging out with me.
1:00:41🔗
Drew
Hold on. You've just blurted out a whole bunch of information. You've been seeing this guy how long?
1:00:52🔗
Caller
Oh, no. We just hang out mostly, but we've been kind of being physical sort of. This is my question. I have been giving him head and whatnot, and finally today we just tried to have sex, but he couldn't keep it up during it. My question is that he is uncircumcised, and that is what I feel like is a problem, but I don't know if he's uncircumcised.
1:01:27🔗
Adam
I'm going to float a theory here. He pulled his penis out of her mouth, she started clamoring away, and he lost his erected.
1:01:36🔗
Adam
Oh, Kim's a talker. We don't like a lot of chat in, we're out of the bedroom. Or really, anyway.
1:02:10🔗
Caller
No, no, no, what happened is that we, I usually just give him oral sex and he can orgasm. But today we finally just tried to have sex and we tried having sex and he could not keep orgasm in. He could not keep it hard at all.
1:02:23🔗
Drew
All right, hold on a second. And you said he's a friend's, his friend is your ex-boyfriend?
1:02:31🔗
Drew
Here's my take on this, he ain't that in. He's getting the oral sex and that's fine. Yeah. Because she's even sort of couching, we're kind of hanging out, we're sort of hanging out, we're sort of being sexual and whatnot. And won't go ahead and say, hey, I'm having sex with this guy because I think I'm dating him, but he's kind of weird, like, you know. No, he's kind of not even in this relationship. He's accepting oral sex from you.
1:02:56🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Well, of course it's the first time you tried to have sex and, you know, try it again and it'll work out.
1:03:08🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
And look, man, just because they're not, like, wearing each other's rings, you don't have to place these value judgments like it's a bad thing.
1:03:15🔗
Drew
We're not saying anything's bad. They can do whatever they want. But the fact is that you have to wonder why they should want an explanation why. My sense of it is that he's not that into this.
1:03:46🔗
Drew
That's kind of his thing. He'll take that from her, right? She's like, oh, he'll take it.
1:03:50🔗
Adam
But he may be one of the guys that likes it better than intercourse. So number one, you're giving him what he wants already. The other thing is kind of strange for him. Okay, the second part is the other one. Once in a while, some guys are decent. And these guys realize that when you actually have intercourse with a woman, you cross the line into a sort of different commitment phase, that there's something going on. And even if the mind is willing, the penis is weak. Sometimes the penis goes, no, no, no, I'm not gonna let you get into trouble because the next thing you know, you're gonna break this girl's heart.
1:04:26🔗
Drew
And he's thinking about his friend, he's thinking about his other things. If you were really into her, he'd go through it.
1:04:41🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
It is true that I tend to be more sexually attracted to people that I like better.
1:04:45🔗
Drew
Oh, of course. That's why you like him, you know what I mean? And he's accepting oral sex from you. That's what this relationship is. You're giving him a gift, he accepts, and that's it.
1:05:29🔗
Adam
Here's what you guys need to realize. Poor women have been confused into thinking that guys...
1:05:37🔗
Adam
Are like women, yes. Oh, no. That we don't know what we like or we don't know how to express ourselves.
1:05:42🔗
Drew
Or we don't really were confused all the time. No, we know. We're like freight train, we know.
1:05:47🔗
Adam
Believe me, when a guy... And look, there's three guys sitting here, all right? Three and a half with Drew. He's very, he's very passionate. Oh, we got a lesbian. We got like three and three quarters guys sitting here. We've all been with women in the past where we've played that confused guy card, like, hey, you know what, I'm just hang loose. I'm pretty young. I got my buddies. I'm working on my career. I got this. I say, yeah, we can have a little sex on the week. We'll do a little dating. And there's times when they push and you go, oh, no, no, no, I'm into you. I'm into you. But we know not. And they walk away thinking, I think he's into me, but he's a little flake. You know, he's a guy's 23 or whatever. And then we all know what it's like to be into somebody. Boom, laser lock focus, full steam ahead.
1:06:35🔗
Adam
What's going on? You're over at their house. You get home, you call them when you get home. You see them the next 10 nights. They're already talking on the phone for three hours. Guys are perfectly capable of that when they're in.
1:06:56🔗
Adam
They can be attentive. They can be all the things you don't think guys are. You find this guy the right chick, I'll show you a guy who is, I'll show you a restraining order. You know what I'm saying? Yes, yes. He'll receive oral if the stars align.
1:07:13🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
But hey, if she likes giving a moral sex, there's no reason that she shouldn't do that.
1:07:17🔗
Adam
Yeah. She wants him to turn the corner and he's not. This is the theme of the night. Kim?
1:07:28🔗
Adam
Because it erodes your self-esteem. There's someone out there. Well, he's into you, not in your mouth, into you.
1:07:35🔗
Drew
I call this the Carrie Bradshaw syndrome. A lot of women prefer being in that state of longing than in the state of real connection. Certainly, though, would rather not be chased. They'd rather be the chaser. It's more comfortable for them. That's how they experience intimacy. Real intimacy. Oh, no, no, we'll have none of that. So you gotta examine that camera. If you're one of those people, be very careful.
1:07:56🔗
Adam
Yeah, that's her. I always bothered me because I always thought, I always think Carrie Bradshaw whenever I hear Carrie Bradshaw, and they're very different. Yeah, some similarities.
1:08:13🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Can I be a little bit of a salesman here since you're talking about the theme of convincing yourself that someone's really into you? The movie that's coming out tomorrow, Mysterious Skin, thank you very much. I appreciate that sound effect. It makes me sound very genuine. The character I play, when he was young, he's abused, but he grows up.
1:08:39🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
One, yeah, almost. One convinces himself that he's abducted by aliens. That's not me, and he's kind of the shy, sci-fi obsessed guy. And then the one that I play convinces himself that he was in love with his abuser, his little league coach, when he was eight years old. And so he becomes this very attractive and sexy person on the outside, and he becomes a prostitute. But on the inside, he's, you know, lying to himself. And so that's what goes on in the movies. Over the course of the movie, he figures out that he's, it's a delusion. And he meets up with the other character, who's kind of, in the end, able to, they're able to kind of reveal what happened. Yeah, each other's delusions.
1:09:22🔗
Adam
You come out this weekend, bring the kids. If Herbie, the love bug, is filled, you slide right over to the yard.
1:09:35🔗
Adam
Oh yeah, it'll get there. Mysterious Skin, name of the film, coming out tomorrow in Los Angeles. Take a quick break. When we come back, we'll speak to Amber. 24 year old boyfriend won't commit to exclusive. Why not?
1:10:01🔗
Adam
We'll be right back after this. Hey everybody, it's Loveline. Um, Adam? That's Dr. Drew. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight. Mysterious Skin, name of the movie, out tomorrow in Los Angeles. What's the website again?
1:10:47🔗
Adam
And you go there, you find out the information where it's playing, when it's coming to a city near you, or where it is when you live in a city near you. Or on you. Or however that works. I was just having a nice conversation with Joseph and Drew about convening with nature, and Drew's a nature fan, lives in a place where it's a little more rural than a lot of people. He explained that I almost ran over a bobcat, and I was thinking to myself, you know, when you talk to people from Los Angeles about nature, it's usually about running things over. Oh really? You think you have a lot of nature? I almost ran over a deer. Oh really? My wife backed over a family of raccoons. Wow. Wow. It's like you're on a nature preserve. Wow. It's beautiful. You're backing over a lot of nature. You're in your car, so it's sort of like a line country safari back in the day. Like, oh yeah? When I was driving home at night, it's a whole family. There's a bunch of coyotes run across the street, and then I backed over a frog. And then later on, my wife ran over a rabbit. Oh man, we've really run over some beautiful nature.
1:12:01🔗
Adam
And we don't always run it over. Sometimes, we just stun it when it bounces off the bumper. Yeah. Going out and running over nature, I'll tell you.
1:12:10🔗
Adam
You don't have that in New York. You don't get to run over nature. You got to go to a museum and look at it like a stuffed cow or something. Here, we really get in touch with nature by running it over.
1:12:20🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
And we make fun of people for hunting and shooting. That's right. We just skip right to the cars running.
1:12:26🔗
Adam
I know. It's like, oh, Ted Nugent's got to be stopped with his crossbow. Meanwhile, I got four thousand pounds worth of crossbow running over nature all the way home. I've definitely killed more stuff than Ted Nugent has. And not on purpose. Just taking more animal souls than Ted. Yes, Drew?

Adam
That's right. That's right. And also we have I don't know if everyone's squirrels are as ballsy as ours are, but ours have a death wish. They don't they do not care if they die. They'll be by the side of the road, dicing a little, make a quick move like they're going to jump in the brush and then fly out to the car. What's so important on the other side of the street that you couldn't wait till the car got by?
1:13:22🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
They always manage to look at you and make eye contact right before they die.
1:13:26🔗
Adam
Yeah, they make eye contact. And they do a move that's weird. It's like, all right, you see me, I see you. I got 4,000 pounds worth of steel around me. You have three ounces of fur protecting you. You're going to make a move? You're going to make a move for the wheel? What are you trying to do, by the way? You attacking the car? What's going on? Do you hate tires? Do you hate tread? Look, where are you going? I don't think they're smart drills. Do we have a lot of squirrels listening? We're going to get letters. Be careful. We don't want to get letters. All right. Julie?
1:14:41🔗
Caller
This is not with my baby's father. I'm not having intercourse with my baby's father.
1:14:48🔗
Adam
At 21, you should be done with the guy who sired your kid. Yeah. Keep moving. Yeah. The I don't want to get diseases was a clue for me that you might be spreading it around a little bit.
1:15:00🔗
Adam
Yeah. Well, get used to it. It's the new one. Hey, Julie? Uh-huh. Where is the baby's dad?
1:15:11🔗
Adam
All right. Now hold on. I know I've been wrong in the past. I don't know what to say to anything. No. She's calling from banning California. 21. Here's the baby's dad thing. Single mom, having sex, spreading around. I know what you want to hear when I just do. I just do. Julie?
1:15:33🔗
Adam
It's now. It's almost like uncanny. I was like 26 times straight. I'm usually so intuitive.
1:15:38🔗
Yeah, I've been hearing you.
1:15:50🔗
Caller
Well, I don't know. I've tried picking matters in my own hands, like, you know, telling him what to do on top.
1:16:06🔗
Adam
What? Well, this is one guy you've been, you know, you've said you're using condoms, you don't get diseases.
1:16:12🔗
Yeah, same guy.
1:16:30🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Every time it seems I meet a girl that doesn't like to touch herself, she can't have an orgasm.
1:16:43🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I know that I don't think I would have been able to know how to have an orgasm if I hadn't been doing it myself for years and years before I had sex.
1:16:49🔗
Drew
Unfortunately, it's a different biology. Women have used actually a whole part of their brain that we don't use. It's hard to get that thing engaged by yourself. That's why they feel nothing. They just feel like, Julie, describe to Joe what it feels like to masturbate.
1:18:11🔗
Drew
By the way, something happened before you were 13 too. That sets you up for the rape of 13.
1:18:30🔗
Caller
I don't know because it's gross. Like when a guy comes on my breast or something like that, it makes me gag. Like I'll let them do it because it pleases them.
1:18:48🔗
Adam
Okay. So Julie, nothing before you were 13? Daddy? Where's dad? Where's your dad? He's not with the mom but I can't... I'm going to go way, way, way, way out of limb here and say she doesn't know her dad.
1:19:26🔗
Adam
All right. That's good. Why don't you find a guy you're really into? I'm not so sure you're in love with this guy. No, I'm not in love.
1:19:34🔗
Adam
You're just lonely and you're killing time. And here's the thing, just like we had a few calls back with the orgasm and everything, guys, easier orgasming with girls. Yeah. He's got an orgasm all day long. Right. Put your dong through the mail slot in the front door of the chick's house, you could have an orgasm, you don't have to look at her. But women, if they ain't feeling it, it's not happening.
1:19:57🔗
Drew
Well, particularly somebody like her who can't even feel sexual unless she's with a person, and if she'll connect to the person, that's that particular biology.
1:20:11🔗
Adam
All right. Hold on. Screwed neighbor's girlfriend. She wants him. That's a guy. We don't like talking to guys. Four. But this guy's been on hold for an hour. An hour. Come on. Now, what do you call that? Stefan?
1:20:28🔗
Adam
Do we need a Stefan and a Stephen? I'm going to start narrowing things down a little bit when I'm in charge. Stefan and Stephen, Andrea and Andrea and Susan and Suzanne.
1:20:45🔗
That's all right.
1:20:53🔗
I think people would read Julius and interpret it as Julius instead of Stefan or Stephen or Stefan.
1:21:00🔗
Basically, one of my good friends I met probably about a year ago lives two floors below me. And I've been kind of, I don't know, I've been his friend and his girlfriend lives kind of far away. And she, you know, I kind of told him from the get-go that she's been kind of, you know, touchy-feely, and it kind of bothers me. You know, and so I, you know, I told him that when she wasn't around. And he goes, well, that's just how she is around everybody. So we just kind of let it go. Just got out of a relationship and they're on the rocks. So you can already see a recipe for disaster because, you know, I'm like, well, they wanted to, she wanted to stay for the weekend, but she didn't want to stay with him. And I said, well, look, I got an extra bedroom. You can stay with me. I get trashed. She's completely sober and we end up sleeping together. I see this guy every single day.
1:21:48🔗
Adam
By the way, I like, you know, it's a weird sort of, it's a weird way to compliment yourself where I got trashed. She's stone cold sober.
1:21:59🔗
Adam
Yeah. You do the math. He's so smoking hot that she doesn't need half a wine cooler get in bed with him. He's an Adonis. He needed to, you know, get himself this close to poison.
1:22:09🔗
Drew
There was a whole bunch of editorial on that, which it's also, it wasn't like she was wasted and cheated on her boyfriend. She willfully went for this.
1:22:25🔗
Caller
Anyhow, she's always been. It kind of started with her being like she would call me because I was kind of their counselor, you know, because they had some problems or whatever. And she called me.
1:22:36🔗
Caller
My question is, at this point, I see this guy every single day and she still calls me. And it's just like, how do I? I wanted to tell him that.
1:22:47🔗
Adam
You don't have any question. Why'd you want to make sure you underscore her sobriety again loaded when you do finally tell him, don't tell him. What do you need to tell the guy for? So he can try to kick your ass?
1:23:40🔗
Adam
You're getting out of the phase. And you're in your early 20s, you have that, I gotta mix it up all the time. They need to know, I need to tell them, we need to get into it. It's real soap opera kind of thinking. You have more energy for the dramatic. You get a little bit older, you just start shutting up. People, let me impart a little knowledge on to my younger viewers. Knowing when to shut up is as important as saying the right thing. It really is. And I realize people don't, it's not something that's ever taught or trained. It's sort of, people, it's not looked at as a virtue. It's huge. I do it, when I used to be over at Jimmy Kimmel Live, I'd be sitting around the table with all the writers. Jimmy'd be ranting about something. He'd be like, the Michael Jackson trial was on E, we didn't even TiVo it. You guys got to be in charge of what's going on. You got to, and I was just like, just ride out the storm, just look down, just look down. Then there would be some media next to me that would pipe up. Well, we didn't know the TiVo. And then you'd see Jimmy like turn. He was doing a general, yelling at everyone generally. All of a sudden he's turning to you. Listen, Steve, you need, you were told, and I'm thinking to myself, you had to pipe up, you idiot. He was yelling at 13 people, which is yelling at nobody. Now he's yelling at one person. That's you, because you're the one who had to pipe up.
1:25:14🔗
Adam
I'm just telling you, I don't care if your football coach is yelling at you. I don't, whenever there's a group, shut your pie hole.
1:25:23🔗
Adam
Whenever someone is yelling at more than, let's say, three of you, shut up. If you're getting yelled at personally, once in a while you got to pipe up. You got to defend yourself. You got to do your thing. But when someone is just addressing a whole group of people and dressing them down, do not pipe up. Do not.
1:25:38🔗
Adam
Don't take it personally, by the way. You're only getting like one-twenty-seventh of the guy's poison.
1:25:45🔗
Drew
But that's the thing. People need to get that direct personal attention, whether it's positive or negative. They just need that. They need to be seen and heard.
1:25:58🔗
Adam
That's right. Yeah. Same with swearing. I remember one time my dad yelled, Sea Sucker, and I was almost floored.
1:26:10🔗
Adam
I don't know what happened. I think it's the time I dropped this trumpet mouthpiece out the car window. I was trying to make it make noise, and I dropped it out. I think he only had one.
1:26:21🔗
Adam
I think he was just generally, he was calling humanity a Sea Sucker. And I was included in that humanity.
1:26:27🔗
Adam
All right, let's take ourselves a little break. Mysterious Skin is coming out in theaters out here in Los Angeles at least. Coming out tomorrow, May 27th. Take a quick break right back after this. Hey, everybody.
1:27:03🔗
Adam
Phone number, 1-800-LLVE-191, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here tonight. There it is. Who's Coldplay in here?
1:27:15🔗
Adam
All right. Mysterious Skin, name of the new movie, out in Los Angeles, starting tomorrow. And let's take a little question for yours truly. Annie?
1:27:25🔗
Hi.
1:27:27🔗
I can't believe this. Well, I'm a long time listener and I just want to say I love both of you and just thank you for what you do every day.
1:27:39🔗
Sure. And Adam, tomorrow's your birthday, right?
1:27:43🔗
I just want to wish you a happy birthday.
1:27:49🔗
Yep. Tomorrow's my boyfriend's birthday too and he's a genius too, but I love you first.
1:27:56🔗
Yeah. But first or more? We're going to be hanging out by the pool tomorrow. We're going to play Adam Corolla in honor of you.
1:28:03🔗
Adam
How would that go? How would you do it? Because it's important that you be a little sing songy about it.
1:28:10🔗
Adam Corolla. Oh, right on. I can't believe I'm talking to you. I love you so much.
1:28:26🔗
After your rant last night about lawyers, he's in law school right now. But he's a good guy. He's a good one.
1:28:33🔗
Adam
They all start off that way. They're just going to help the impoverished. And before you know it, they're shutting down factories, suing the pants off everybody.
1:28:41🔗
No, we might actually be poor someday. He'll do a bunch of pro bono and stuff.
1:28:59🔗
I'm a massage therapist.
1:29:04🔗
Yeah.
1:29:07🔗
I'm not one of those weird ones at all.
1:29:11🔗
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Massages don't solve anything. Take a pill if you want to help your body.
1:29:15🔗
Yeah, either one. But I always wish I had a problem so I could call in. So I had a good excuse.
1:29:22🔗
Adam
This time next year, call in again. I will. All right. Please, when you're massaging people, do not explain that they store all their tension in their back and neck. Yeah. Oh, you store it. Oh, really? Where else? Because I see most people you see, they store it in their nails, toenails, fingernails, and cuticles.
1:29:44🔗
Adam
Kidney? I store mine in my eyelashes and my right nostril. But interesting that you found people that store tension in their neck and back. I like when they do that. Although I did have someone go, I got a massage about six months ago and the person went over my body and told me everything that was wrong. I mean, here's what they said. They said, oh, what happened to your ribs? Something's wrong with your ribs. I was boxing. Some guy whacked me in the ribs like three months ago. I said, oh yeah. Then she went over my face and went, oh, what's up with your jaw? I said, I got a root canal I got to take care of. She went over, I think, three things that were. Wrong. Yeah, but they weren't bumps. They weren't sticking out or anything. You couldn't feel the ribs. You couldn't really feel the whatever. But there was a third thing and she felt, she sussed it all out. Steven?
1:30:52🔗
Adam
We got to tell you how these psychics work because we have one in here from time to time. We always make fun of them and they get mad. But here's how psychics work. I had a cat named Norman when I was a kid. The cat was named Norman for no good reason. My sister named this cat we found Norman. I don't know why. She just thought it was a funny name. I mentioned just I was having a laugh, like I haven't lost anyone in my family since my cat Norman 20 years ago. Then later on, now this is what the psychics do. They collect the little bits and pieces of information. You don't know they're collecting. They're just dumping around. They'll be talking, how are you doing? How's your dad? You guys from out here? What's your dad's name? You know, little bits. You like sports? And next thing you know, they start figuring it out, putting it through the psychic computer and spitting it back at you. Later on in the show, the psychic chick was like, and who's Norman?
1:31:45🔗
Adam
I know it's your cat, but it's also somebody else, somebody else important in the family.
1:31:50🔗
Adam
Now she did the math. Who names their cat Norman? You know who names their cat Norman? You have to have a grandpa Norman or uncle Norman or somebody named Norman who was very important or special in the family. Otherwise it's Mr. Whiskers. By the way, the cat should be a good name for grandfather too.
1:32:07🔗
Drew
She first said, who's Norman? Who's Norman? Who's Norman? You and I mentioned the cat earlier. Oh yeah, yeah, I know it's the cat. I know it's the cat. Yeah, but who?
1:32:12🔗
Adam
Who's Norman? And I was like, nobody. My sister was high and named the cat Norman. She's like, you think about it. I'm like, I thought about it. There's nobody I know named Norman. Well, you think about it some more. I'm like, look, you're wrong. Just admit you're wrong and then it then it got ugly.
1:32:30🔗
Adam
And then she was like, she would do this one too. You're oh, you do the man show. You do Loveline doing stuff and you're working. You're writing a movie or something like that. Remember you're writing. You do a lot of writing. Remember she was asking if I wrote and then she did writing. And I said, nah, I don't write anything. She's like, think about it. Remember that? More more just crappy grasping at straws math.
1:32:53🔗
Adam
No, not accepting. No. Right. All right. Real fast. Germany or Florida. Go ahead, Stephen.
1:32:58🔗
Caller
All right. A judge rejected welfare recipients demand that the government pay for his hookers and porn. 35 year old Jenner requested a three request of three thousand dollars a month for his naughty entertainment expenses because the state refused to pay for his Thai wife's plane ticket back to the state.
1:33:18🔗
Adam
Is this Germany or Florida? Joseph Joseph going Florida, too. We don't have time. We're all going Florida.
1:34:35🔗
Adam
You come back anytime. Mysterious Skin, name of the movie. You guys go out and see that in Los Angeles tomorrow. And see a couple of things. Wanna thank engineer Anderson for doing a great job all week. Junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, producer, Lauren, producer, Anne, of course, engineer, Michelle, phone screener, Brian.
1:35:12🔗
Adam
There's not 34 juniors anymore. So, until next time, it's Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew, saying mahalo.
