1:33🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew's a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Tonight from Hustle and Flow, Taryn Manning is here and John Singleton, who we haven't met either, have we?
2:27🔗AdamWell, it puts guy... Here's the problem. Here's the problem with everyone competing with everyone now. Once in a while, I watch these shows on these sports shows, and he's a wrestler. He has no arms. He has no legs. He only has one lung, but he wants to compete. I feel sorry for the poor son of a bitch who has to pin this guy. It's not the guy I feel sorry for. It's the poor guy trying to wrestle him. What are you supposed to do with this guy? Put a knee into him and take him down and throw... You know what I mean? He's got no legs, but he wants to play nose tackle on his high school team. What are you going to do? Is this center? Just drive the guy into the ground and lay on him?
3:06🔗AdamI just want the ladies to compete with the ladies and the folks with no legs to compete with the folks with no legs. Not for their sake, but for the able-bodied sake.
3:17🔗GuestI like those matches that they have when those washed up celebrities fight each other.
3:22🔗AdamNo, that's good. I would have never taken that off.
3:25🔗DrewAdam was supposed to fight Chyna at one point.
3:29🔗GuestWhat? You were going to fight Chyna? Why?
3:45🔗AdamThey called me and wanted me to box her vagina. But it's the same thing like when the gimp is playing nose tackle. Either he whoops your ass and then you gotta kill yourself because the guy with no legs just sacked the quarterback or you drive him into the ground in which case you need therapy.
4:06🔗AdamEither Taryn throws a spinning crescent kick and takes your Adam's apple out or you put a whooping on a chick. Yeah. That's why we can't do it. All right. Let's talk Hustle and Flow.
4:21🔗AdamOh, good, Drew. Nice little piece of brown noses going on there. No, the movie. Well, first off, the movie has... Well, first it was like they've been promoting this film for a good two months, it feels like. And then it was like, ah, this is MTV. And then I saw, I think, reviewed on Ciscal and Roper, and then they were like, oh no, this is, or Ebert and Roper, and they were like, this is, this is a substantial film.
4:55🔗DrewAnd he was kind of talking, starting to talk about it, and he was sort of like, ah, wow, there's a lot of buzz. I mean, like, whoa.
5:01🔗AdamYeah. Well, what, I mean, it seems to me like it was a smallish film that somebody realized was a pretty good film and then started getting behind it.
5:12🔗GuestThat's what happened. That's what happened. I mean, the movie basically was just a labor of love amongst us that were involved with the picture, and once people started seeing it, you know, it was like, wow, you know, this could really be a breakout film for the summer.
5:25🔗AdamAnd how did you get involved with it, John?
5:28🔗GuestA friend of mine, Stephanie Lane, who's my fellow producer on the movie, she brought me the script and gave me one of Craig Brewer's films that he did on DV. You know, like a lot of young filmmakers, he was able to cut his teeth by shooting movies on video and then editing them on the computer. So I just, I saw it and saw the movie and I read the script and I was like, this guy should be making movies.
5:50🔗AdamAnd you have Four Brothers coming out, which I just saw an ad for before I left, looks good. And also, I'm just trying to figure out how old you are because Boys in the Hood.
6:12🔗AdamI had a big wind up beanie and there's a long string of saliva that hit me in the lap and I was just looking at the Grand Canyon for the Viewmaster.
6:20🔗GuestI was laughing and talking to Dr. Drew and saying, like man, doing Loveline is funny for me because I remember being a teenager, like 15 years old, hadn't got a lay before and everything. Listen to this thing, like, whoa, wow. Yeah. I hope I could have problems like this one day.
6:40🔗AdamOh, yeah. This is way back when you were-
6:51🔗AdamYeah. Actually, it's the way I felt because I used to listen to this show. I mean, I grew up in the Valley. I listened to KROC. I listened to this show for good 10 years before I showed up here. So when I met Drew, Drew was like, how do you do? I was like, I know Drew.
7:12🔗AdamThat's what it feels like. I mean, if you listen to a guy a couple hours, well, actually it was on once a week for the first whatever, and then when I'd listen, I'd listen pretty much every night. And you just feel like you know the guy. You don't feel like you even need an introduction.
7:32🔗AdamTotally different guy. You would not know him. So how's the movie doing at the box office?
7:38🔗GuestIt's doing good, man. I mean, it's like, you know, we were like number two behind Wedding Crashers in terms of screen average. It's not in that many screens, but it's kicking ass.
7:48🔗AdamAre they going to put it in more theaters?
7:50🔗GuestIt depends on how it does this weekend. Then we're going to expand, you know. It's kind of like the films like the Napoleon Dynamite of this summer. Napoleon Dynamite wasn't in that many screens, but it ended up making a lot of money because it just held on, you know?
8:32🔗AdamWell, you know, Drew, when you're in Canada, you know, still a lot of time. It's cold out there. Oh my God. You know, when you do a film, you really bond. Really, there's a bonding. All right. Where are we? We got to take a call.
8:45🔗AdamAll right. Let's see. I want to see what else I have for Taryn over here. What else you got coming out? You don't need anything else. Yeah.
8:55🔗GuestI have a couple of things coming out, a couple more independents, but one's called Dandelion and one's called The Breed. Some good stuff coming out soon, so.
9:04🔗AdamYou made a, you made a, I haven't seen the film yet, but I've just seen, I've seen about 300 commercials on Hustle and Flow and you make a very convincing prostitute.
9:56🔗AdamThey want to get used to it. Yeah. That's my take on Vegas. It's like putting your leg in the jacuzzi. You know what I mean? Like, all right, I'm going to hell in about four more years after this emphysema kicks in. So, I'll move to a hot car. You don't want to go from Minnesota to hell.
10:22🔗AdamYeah, I'm going to be moving in a few years. You know, I'm going to get jumpstart on hell. That'd be awesome. And then you get to the hell, you get to hell and the devil's like, hot enough for you in hell? And you're like, meh.
10:35🔗AdamThe devil's getting angry. You're telling him a story about being out in the tarmac at McCarran in July. He's like, what? They just getting angry at Vegas? He tries to turn up the heat, but it only goes like 130 and a half. Okay. All right. That's what I'm figuring. Angela?
10:54🔗CallerYes. I called last night and we kind of got off on the alcoholic boyfriend situation. And I just wanted you guys to know, I have came to terms with the fact that I cannot help him and I am leaving the first.
11:07🔗DrewOkay. But we were telling you was go to Al-Anon.
11:14🔗AdamHer boyfriend went out of town and she got like a check from Strip Club for like 300 bucks, which she thinks is a lot. I'm here to tell her. It ain't all that much.
11:37🔗DrewRight, Angela. Evidently, we didn't get to your question, so what is the question?
11:40🔗CallerMy situation is that I have such an extreme problem with it, like the lap dances. Like he can give me a compliment and I'm all of a sudden warped into seeing this chick writing him. You know what I mean? Like is this just a natural thing you're doing when I need to get over it?
11:57🔗DrewNo, Adam will have a different point of view on this, but I don't blame you. You wouldn't want your wife with some guy to hump on her. You know what I mean? Adam, you don't care.
12:08🔗AdamWhat? No, I don't want my, well, look, first off, what's the difference? At least she's dressed. Our wives go to the masseuse three times a week, they're totally nude, got a guy getting a third base for him, and then they tip him 30 bucks. At least they're wearing pants in this environment.
12:27🔗DrewAll right. Well, anyway, it's a little different intent than a lap dance for some massage.
12:31🔗AdamI mean, come on, women with this massage. This is therapeutic. I get a lap dance. I'm cheating. You get totally nude and some guy rubs you down with oil. No problems there. That's fine. No problem. I pay for it, by the way. I should be paying for that. At least you don't pay for my lap dance. Look at it this way. Or what are we talking about?
12:50🔗DrewAll right, so lap dance cheating? Lap dance cheating, Taryn?
12:54🔗GuestNo, it's not cheating, but it's definitely not cool, I don't think. If you're in a relationship, it sucks to picture that.
13:01🔗DrewSay you're married and you had kids and dad's going out, even just on a business trip or something one time.
13:06🔗GuestI don't know. Those girls are lame at strip clubs.
13:35🔗GuestOne of the greatest ideas come in Strip Club.
13:38🔗AdamHere's the thing, and some of the worst, too, actually. But here's what I was saying last night, and Taryn and I, let's see if John agree with this. I was saying there's a context. If you're out with a bunch of guys in order to bachelor party and you go to Strip Club, that's one thing. If you're going alone on a weeknight, that's another situation.
14:01🔗GuestYeah, that's enough if you're in a relationship and you're going alone on a weeknight, then you've got a problem.
14:06🔗AdamRight. I think women definitely, they don't see context sometimes. If you're, quiet Drew, I know your wife's listening.
14:15🔗AdamShe's got a leather strap, she's got that machete, she's a straight edge just sitting at home. No, or maybe it's that wheel she's spinning, sparks flying out. Yeah. Here's the point. If you go to a bachelor party and there's 20 guys and a stripper comes around, she's getting naked, and she's making the rounds, and she sits on your lap and starts doing the hoochie-coo, that is completely different than you cruising the internet and going and meeting somebody or you going alone out to a strip club on a Wednesday night and dropping 500 bucks. It's a totally different situation.
14:46🔗AdamYou know what it is? It's the same thing as it is with drugs, which is you're out, there's a bunch of people, you're in a limo, you're partying, you can do some coke. If you're... I'm serious.
14:58🔗DrewIt doesn't matter if you're an addict or not.
14:59🔗AdamOkay, no, you can do some coke. If you're sitting at home and you're just sitting home alone and it's Tuesday and it's eight at night and you're drawing yourself a line, you got a problem.
15:10🔗DrewI appreciate your point of view. However, there's one corollary to that that you have to realize that...
15:30🔗AdamYeah, we're talking about strip clubs, but I'm just saying it's analogous. If you're sitting at home doing drugs, you got a problem. If you're out partying in Cancun and someone puts a line in front of you and you snorted up after a pitcher of margaritas, oh, what are you looking at, Drew? You know what I'm talking about.
15:44🔗DrewThat's how my patience gets started, though, is the point. I'm saying, oh yeah, go get started.
16:18🔗GuestYeah, the social thing. You go out with your boys, you go to a strip club, or you go out with some people and everything, or you go out with a strip club, you're not in a relationship or getting married, or a married man and going to a strip club and then giving your rent money and the bills money and car payment to the stripper.
17:29🔗AdamBut look, hold on a second. Hold on. No, I wanted to say our last call. Angela. We should not- She's an obsessive person. She's got stuff going on with her. This is the wrong guy for her. She should get away with it, but she's got to dial it down a little bit.
17:57🔗Okay. My question is, well, I see one of those kind of people when I had sex, that I could go on for hours and hours and hours, and then I started using this new bird control a few months ago. Ever since then, I would start breaking out. My vagina would be swollen, and I would have, it would be very irritated.
18:18🔗DrewRight. Right. What was it? Deproprovera or Menast? It was some low-dose pill?
18:25🔗DrewNuvaRing, interestingly. That's interesting because that shouldn't do that.
18:30🔗Yeah. We tried it once to take it out, and it wasn't as bad, but it was still very, very, very painful.
18:39🔗DrewYou may be having a reaction to the ring, some sort of vaginitis or something. A NuvaRing is a contraceptive ring you put in once a month, and it's like a contraceptive. It's like the birth control pill, but you don't have to take it. Yeah. Exactly. Obviously, that's what's causing your problem because you associated with the initiation of that treatment, and then pow, this problem occurred. What you're describing is some sort of inflammation or dryness in the vagina, and that can be estrogen deficiency, it can be, and that can cause the dryness, or it can be an infection. I would think more likely an infection, frankly, given that there's a foreign body in there, and or maybe could be a chemical reaction, something about just having the ring present, your body doesn't like for some reason. I've not heard of that from this ring, but you ought to talk to your gynecologist about it.
19:30🔗AdamI was being very active that month. An active month, right? This is when I was doing the coke and off the hookers actually. That would be a good time. That would be a good rule for you to make. I'm only going to do blow if it's off of a hooker. That would limit your blow. As bad as it sounds, it would probably keep it to a minimum.
19:52🔗AdamYou'd be in places where you couldn't get a hooker, and you promised yourself, I'm only going to do it off of the hooker. You see what I'm saying?
19:59🔗DrewI see what you're saying. It's a genius.
20:01🔗AdamThen you couldn't get a boner for the hooker because you'd be too coked up. That's an agreement you could make with your old lady. I think you could sell that to her.
20:12🔗DrewGo back and talk to the doctor prescribing the ring. It's an unusual situation.
20:15🔗AdamLet's talk to Neil. We're going to play a little something called Germany or Florida. The way the game goes, John and Taryn, is all bizarre stories either emanate from either Germany or Florida. I figured out through doing some research that if it's effed up, it comes from Germany or Florida. Now, I'm not talking about a guy killing his kid in a bathtub or something. That's commonplace everywhere. But I'm talking about a guy cutting his toes off and frying it up and eating it. Really weird, sick, bizarre, macabre stuff.
20:46🔗DrewThat kind of thing only happens in Florida.
21:08🔗DrewIn the internet, people pull these stories. Tell them how it started.
21:10🔗AdamWell, when I was writing over at Jimmy Kimmel Live, ABC, 12-6, everyone would pitch stories at lunch every day, at the writers' meeting, and every single bizarre, effed up story at the end. So, eventually, it started taking shape, which was either out of Germany or Florida. So, people would start guessing and start joking. Yeah, Germany. Soon as somebody mentioned a nun going down on herself or something, it was like, Germany, Florida. And I realized, yes, they're all out of Germany or Florida. So, why not cash in and turn it into a game? It's sweeping the nation. So, Neil is going to tell us the story, and then we're going to guess, is it Germany or Florida?
21:56🔗CallerOkay, alright. Although robbers often cover their faces with masks, one crook arrived at a store with nothing to hide his identity. Thinking quickly, he picked a plastic bag out of the garbage outside the store, placed it loosely over his head, walked in and announced the robbery. Despite having his face covered, he had a clear view of what he was doing. But it turned out that the police who later watched the crime on the store security camera had a clear case against him. He had been wearing a transparent plastic bag.
23:16🔗AdamWe have other 15-year-olds. They're like, yeah.
23:19🔗DrewBy the way, that guy, this guy that I'm doing sounded like Neil the day before.
23:22🔗AdamYeah, before he got laid. Yeah. Then after he gets laid, check this out. Okay, this cat, she's going to the liquor store. All of a sudden, the guy just turns. Everyone's James Earl Jones at a certain point. Who am I trying to think of? Who's everyone turned into? Come on, Drew, come up with somebody. Come up.
23:45🔗DrewThe singer that just died of kidney failure.
23:51🔗AdamAll right. That's good for her. It's great that you work in the kidney failure. See, he's a doctor. He's always working in the medical. He doesn't remember names or phases. He remembers diseases.
23:59🔗DrewI get the specific. You guys know what I'm talking about.
24:01🔗AdamYeah. I'll go like, remember that guy that was in here 10 years ago? And Drew will go, no. And I'll go, oh, the carcelma. Carcelma. Yeah, that's right. That's right. He had cancer. That's right. We know that guy. Drew, is that how you remember everyone?
24:36🔗AdamIt gets rid of general warts? I love those commercials. You know those commercials where it's always a chick who's got something but ain't gonna slow her down, she's got herpes, she's got warts.
24:46🔗DrewTaryn would be the perfect, she's out here playing karate.
24:49🔗AdamTaryn, yeah, you'd throw karate kicks and stuff. Yeah-ha! Yeah, I got warts.
24:56🔗AdamYeah, and I always think, you know, I always think, I always feel sorry for the actress who probably doesn't have the warts or the whatever who has to play that role. But I started thinking about it the other day, how about the dude who has to play her boyfriend? That poor son of a bitch gotta come into the picture. Hey, baby. It's cool. I know you got this from someone else, but I'll take you. Yeah. Yeah, I'm all right. Maybe give him to me. He's got warts too now. I've already got him. He got warts too, except for he's got under five. I'm happy about it. All right. Let's hustle and flow. Name of the movie, John Singleton here tonight. Also Taryn Manning. We will take ourselves a quick break. We'll be right back. Talk warts after this. Hey, everybody. Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. John Singleton is here tonight. Taryn Manning is here tonight. Hustle and flow. You've seen that. I speaking of hustling and flowing, I got my transcripts today from junior high and from high school.
26:19🔗AdamBut Drew and Drew and I had to read this stuff. I can't read it. Now, first off, someone pointed this out to me. I had no idea what this number was. The 497 out of 570.
26:34🔗Adam570 and it's unclear if that was 570 who graduated. I think that's just 570 in the senior class because there wasn't that many in the graduation.
27:14🔗AdamYeah, the 497 out of the 570, and I'm telling you, the 570 is not the amount of people who graduated, the 570 numbers, the amount of people who were supposed to be in class.
27:31🔗AdamMany left the country, many were deported. Yeah, so I was probably, realistically, 497 out of about 505. There were probably about eight kids that did worse than me. But Drew, there's a few highlights on there. I was looking at and having a good laugh at.
27:45🔗DrewNow, it looks like, though, it's not an ABC system, right?
28:00🔗AdamYeah, the first letter is the grade you get. And the second two are like satisfactory, U, unsatisfactory, and then there's E, excellent. What you like is, the highest you can get is an A-E-E, the lowest would be what I have here.
28:15🔗DrewHere's the comedy, Adam's got English S, which is B, satisfactory, biology.
28:21🔗AdamNo, when you see zero biology, you know what that zero stands for?
28:58🔗AdamI was all valley. What do you want to give me a C?
29:01🔗DrewI was first team. I'm sorry, extracurricular activity.
29:04🔗AdamLook, everything. Look, everything. Here's my deal. If you can grade me on English, you got to grade me on football. That's my- That's- That's- That's my-
29:11🔗DrewThat's your language. That's what you speak. You speak football.
29:14🔗AdamThat's my major. Yeah. Here's the thing you get a kick out of here, Drew. Second semester, second semester of the 11th grade, basic math, not trig, not geometry. This is the 11th grade. This is the second semester. Basic math. And when they said math, they didn't mean generic. They didn't, man, they weren't talking about algebra. Yeah. Now here's what I realized too, Drew, as I look at all the failures and the Ds and a handful of Cs. If you take away my A's that I got in football and baseball every year, because every year at the last class, I got an A.
30:00🔗DrewI didn't know that was actually factored in there.
30:01🔗AdamOh, yes. Oh, yes. I got six A's that are being factored in there. Yeah. Yeah. That drove it way up.
30:09🔗DrewNot only would my parents have killed themselves, I would have killed myself. My extended family would have killed themselves. My grandparents would have emerged from the grave to kill themselves.
30:23🔗AdamYeah, no, that is not Jewish work there, baby. Wow. Yeah, and then, you know, junior high wasn't a whole lot better. Look at your picture there.
31:03🔗DrewRemember the days when the man was, you know, we were pushing back against the man, his ideas about education. That was all, you know, the man was trying to educate you, Adam, you weren't doing any of that.
31:13🔗AdamNo, no. Your parents weren't doing that.
31:29🔗GuestNo, from South Central. Oh, okay. Actually, what happened is I left one school and then I got on a bus. I left one school because I was having problems with the teacher. He had this rule against bringing, true story, bringing metal columns to school. Remember how he told all the brothers, don't bring picks to school because they use as weapons?
31:45🔗DrewI'm trying to match John with a big afro now.
31:50🔗GuestDon't bring picks to school because they use as weapons. I was like, whatever, keeping it in my back pocket. The wood shop teacher, Mr. Smith, he said, Singleton, didn't you hear the rules against bringing metal columns to school?
32:04🔗DrewHow comical is this, the wood shop teacher?
32:06🔗GuestHe snatches it off it and in front of the whole class, saws it in like four or five pieces in front of the class and puts it in front of me. Everybody laughing at me in the class, true story. I picked it up and I threw it in his face and I called him a word I can't say on radio, a couple of chords, and I walked out of the classroom. You know what I mean?
32:38🔗GuestBut the thing about it is, I went to my friend's house and he was being bused out to Portola. Because in the time, it was like a trip. All the kids in certain neighborhoods would go to the bus at like 6.30 in the morning. They go all the way out over the 405 and stuff. So my first trip to the valley ever was getting on a bus at like 6.30 in the morning.
33:02🔗DrewSee, Adam thinks that the whole world goes to the valley when they don't live in the valley.
33:06🔗GuestAnd I was like, whoa, I'm going all the way over here. It's like half a world away. It was a world away from me. And so I went there and I enrolled myself in Fartola. And it was cool.
33:17🔗GuestYeah, it was because it was the first time I ever went to school where I didn't have to worry about looking on my shoulder every five minutes and then fighting every day. You know, and the kids were interested in the comic books and movies and stuff. And it was a trip because you grew up in the valley. A lot of the kids that went to school in the 80s, a lot of their families worked in the movie business.
33:38🔗DrewIs that where you got that idea, you think?
33:40🔗GuestNo, I got the idea before him, but when I was in the hood, talking about I wanted to make movies, it was a whole different thing. And then when I was in the valley, everybody there, these kids were like, they had 8mm cameras. It was a trip.
33:53🔗AdamYeah, Portola was probably, well, probably a few more movie making types there than North Holland, because you're a little, the closer you could get to Ventura Boulevard, the better. Like Walter Reed was a little bit closer.
34:08🔗GuestWalter Reed was rowdy. I heard Walter Reed was rowdy.
34:10🔗AdamYeah, they used to have gang members and stuff. Yeah, listen, being bust in was great for you. It sucked for us white kids. We were like, oh, Christ.
34:19🔗AdamWhy don't you guys come kick our ass? We were like, it was like Scary Skies and Wars, like the Oakland Raiders just getting off the bus every morning. We're like, oh, my God. What the hell is this?
34:30🔗GuestBut it helped the football team though.
34:31🔗AdamYes, it did. Yes, it did, especially in the skilled positions. Yes, we finally got some speed on that team.
34:51🔗AdamHuge Afro. Number eight had a towel with an eight ball painted on it. Hang on. I was scared of the guy on my team. I thought he was going to hit me. I was playing linebacker. I thought he was going to come up and hit me. Yeah, but we finally got some wheels. Mario Menafee. Yeah. Wendell Shirley, who changed it to Wendell. Yeah, that means he got fast.
35:13🔗AdamYeah, it was good. See, I got along with all the brothers who got bust in because I was on the football team, they were on the football team and you just pack them in together. Next thing you know, you're on the same team. Yeah, it was good. It was good for sports.
35:30🔗AdamOh, Durex Condoms. Yeah. One lucky person tonight will win a Durex Party Pack. Party Pack includes CDs, poker set, money, and of course some Durex Condoms. Each night this week, I'm going to decide, actually, my partner Drew will decide. He'll remind me to decide to pick a winner. Best call of the night. All right? And you got to be 18 years older. Brought to you by Durex or Sex. And then there's Durex. All right. Ready to go?
36:10🔗And so I've been using it for about six weeks. And it seems like it's getting worse. And she also said to, since it was so expensive, to split each pack in thirds.
36:21🔗DrewNo, that's a good idea. That's good. You only use a tiny little bit. Now, there is kind of expensive, but it usually works. I'm rather surprised that it isn't. And it makes me think that you may have one of the more aggressive subtypes of the virus that causes warts. And sometimes there's other things that need to be done, including freezing them off or burning them off. Aldera is an excellent thing for males, because you can see the warts, put the cream right on it. It usually takes it down about two to four weeks. So you need to get back there and see about some other removals. Because once they start growing, they'll start proliferating, and you don't want to get it out of control if you can help it. And the one that... Yeah, you want to go to a dermatologist, probably, in reality. And the more aggressive virus, like you're describing, is actually the one that probably, probably, can cause the cervical cancer in women.
37:05🔗AdamSo you can give it to a woman, and she won't even know she has it.
38:25🔗AdamOh, yeah. That's abuse. I look at that as abuse. All those kids walking around named Sunshine, Autumn, Spring. Autumn. Yeah. Any season. Rainbow.
38:36🔗AdamOh, even season. Then seasonings like cinnamon, paprika, cumin. That's a tough one for a chick. I'm just saying you can't after a time or a place or a seasoning or season.
39:19🔗DrewBecause it's just an interesting issue that if guys get tears or lacerations of the foreskin, they're difficult to heal sometimes, and you have to keep it dry and clean. And then when they heal, they often scar, so it narrows some, so it causes something called a stenosis. So the head of the penis can't come out of the foreskin. So it tears again, and then it stenoses more and it tears. And it's often what leads to guys needing a clip.
41:11🔗Okay. I'm getting married in three weeks. My friend, who's in my friend's high school, who's going to play music at our wedding. I had sex with him last week. Last week? My fiance. Last weekend, we went camping with my friend who is going to perform the ceremony at our wedding. They made out on the ground at our camping site.
41:53🔗AdamHere's the problem with the cell phone. I talk to people like, where are you? I'm in the shower. What's going on? I'm just me and the dog. I'm washing the dog. I'm showering myself.
42:05🔗AdamYeah. Listen, I can barely hear you. This seems dangerous. Yeah. Don't worry about it. There's no limits anywhere. We talked to people. They're working on their car. They're getting in and out of stuff. They're in the market. They're everywhere. What are you doing?
42:20🔗AdamI'm right in the middle of my Pilates class. I'm talking to you on the cell phone. It's like, look, at least be stationary. The car's starting up, door's slamming. All right, this is a mess here, is it not?
42:35🔗AdamDo you think the fiancé screwed around with whoever at the campsite to get back?
42:42🔗DrewIt feels like a little payback, but he would have had sex with her if it was a real payback thing.
42:45🔗AdamWell, maybe, yeah, but chicks control that hustle and flow. You see the way I worked that in? Maybe he tried to have sex, but all he could do is make out. All right, we got to take a little break. Taryn Manning is here tonight. John Singleton is here tonight from Hustle and Flow. I want to give a quick plug for my new TV show, it's coming out on Comedy Central, and we need your phone call, so you just call 1-6-6-HeyAdam.
43:16🔗AdamOh, thanks, buddy. Yeah, 1-866-HeyAdam, and we can get you on the TV show. I think we're taping it next week. 1-866-HeyAdam. Take a quick break, we'll be right back after this. Hurry, hurry.
45:14🔗Okay. Well, one time I was at this concert, and this guy was talking to me, and I didn't want him to be talking to me, and I was standing under a tree talking to him, and there was this booth next to it, so they're selling stuff, and I was like, I don't want to be talking to you, I don't want to be talking to you, and I kept thinking that, and these boxes fell over on him out of the booth, and I was like, wow, that's kind of cool, maybe he'll go away, but he didn't go away. And I was standing under the tree talking to him thinking, I wish you'd go away, I don't really want to be talking to you, and then a branch fell out of the tree and hit him on the shoulder.
45:44🔗DrewAnd that was what we call ideas of reference. Those are sort of delusional things.
45:47🔗AdamAnd by the way, if this kind of stuff worked, a chandelier would land on your head right now.
45:52🔗AdamI don't want to talk to you. You see what I'm saying? Well, it's true. I'm just saying you're lucky a ceiling fan is not gonna crush you right now, you're lucky this stuff doesn't work.
46:02🔗DrewThat is an abnormality of thought, Alyssa, you're having there. So here we go.
46:05🔗AdamBut it's weird. I got the weird wiccan vibe from her.
46:09🔗DrewAll right. So your question is what about you having sex with somebody when you're engaged and your boyfriend having sex sort of to try to get back at you? This is this is craziness, right?
46:21🔗CallerAlthough although you think it's great.
46:22🔗DrewWell, Alyssa, on your in your defense, let me say that there have been some studies on once in a while that show that women often have a final fling before they get married.
46:33🔗DrewNo, it doesn't make it not crazy either. But to some extent, the biological imperative for that is to try to get alpha male genes before you marry the guy that's a good family guy. You see what I'm saying?
46:54🔗DrewWell, that that let's put let's say you found a really nice guy who you think is going to make a great father, but he's a little bit sort of timid. And there's this real bad boy. You've kind of been attracted to it. You go have sex with him, and a week later you get married. So you collected those bad boy genes to settle down with the guy who would be a good family member.
47:12🔗AdamIt's not a conscious thing, but it's a biological drive.
47:16🔗DrewSo but but actually it's one thing to sort of have those fantasies and to have those drives. I mean, men have all kinds of crazy drives they don't act out on. That's one that I would suggest people don't act on because it screws up your relationships big time. And you're not actually collecting those genes. You're not going to have that guy's kids.
47:44🔗AdamYeah. And we I talked too much. We got pushed up against the top. So hold on a second because I want to get back and do a little more work on this and see if I can dissuade these two from their union.
47:54🔗AdamAll right. Hustle and Flow, Name of the Movie. We'll take a quick break. Be right back after this. Hey, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Taryn Manning is here tonight along with John Singleton. They got a new movie out called Hustle and Flow. John's got a little something called Four Brothers coming out. And he did Two Fasts Two Furious, too, which I enjoyed. Oh, yeah. That's my kind of thing. I like that stuff. You know, I'm into it. And I like seeing stuff going on, you know. Yeah.
48:42🔗AdamYeah. Yeah. It's a movie. I got to tell you, I like to see stuff going on. I like to see some car chases. There's something blowing up. I'm a lightweight, intellectually.
49:10🔗DrewYeah. You take those A's out and you got about a point seven five.
49:13🔗AdamYeah. I was in school the day. I went to my old high school the day and I was making the rounds. You know what? It was. It was still real. Yeah. I was trying to get the TPA. No, what I was trying to do was I was trying to get my diploma because I couldn't get my diploma when I graduated because I owed the book room money and it wouldn't give me my diploma. And Drew, this is us. I paid him the $19.95. Well, it was $16.
49:43🔗AdamYeah, it was $65. Now, they're getting me a diploma. They're making me a, they destroyed my diploma. Like, it's not a sick, it's not a diseased farm animal. Had to destroy it. You couldn't just sock it somewhere.
49:55🔗DrewDestroyed my diploma. Mad diploma disease.
49:57🔗AdamYeah, you destroyed it. Like, there's old yeller or something. What did you do, put it in a wood chipper? Like, what do you mean destroyed it? And they're like, well, we keep it for like 20 years and you're not going to claim it. You know, I guess. We destroy it. We destroy it. Poof, and that whoo goes like flying out of it. They burn it in some sort of weird ceremonial sacrificial fire on the roof of some downtown building. But anyway, so they have to make me a new diploma because they owe me a diploma. It's just, I owe them money for this book. And I knew I had an inkling I wasn't going to need that diploma in life. And as it turns out, I was right. What did you do it for? Well, that's what I said. I went into carpet cleaning after high school. No diploma. Then I went into carpentry, or better yet, it was more labor, manual labor. Diploma, that's one strike.
50:52🔗AdamYeah, it's a lost, yeah. But I was digging, though. I just had a shovel. Now I'm a fine carpenter. If you have some questions, I'll be willing to answer them off the air. But if you put me in your next movie. But then, so here's what I want.
51:06🔗DrewI think the next movie is going to be about K-Rock in the 80s.
51:31🔗AdamOh, yeah. So it's a long story, but I'll show you some moves during commercial. But the point is, is never needed a diploma. No one ever asked for it. No one wanted to see it. No one. There was no box to check. There was no. There was. I never filled anything out for anything.
52:54🔗DrewSo, we're concerned about your desire, your choice to get married. How old's your boyfriend? What's the hurry here? Alyssa, you guys are screwing around. Come on.
53:44🔗Why do you think getting married has to stop that? Because that's a very traditional outlook on things. I'm committed to him and I love him.
53:54🔗DrewYeah, but why do something that is specifically about making a commitment and a monogamous commitment? Why don't you call it something else and do something else?
54:04🔗Well, I'm not getting married in the church and I'm not getting married, so it's more like an announcement of our love.
54:11🔗DrewAll right, you have an announcement of your love. That's fine.
54:35🔗AdamReally? Interesting ploy for the radio. Yeah. I wish you had a bigger ass.
54:39🔗DrewIt takes you off the track a little bit.
54:40🔗AdamYeah. Oh, what? Bigger ass. Unusually small ass. Interesting. All right. You're not fooling me, big ass. All right. Yeah. You ready? Yeah. I'm going to hang up on you. All right.
55:00🔗DrewThey're not going. They're going to announce their love. Fine. And that's interesting.
55:03🔗AdamVia getting married, though. Okay. Look, here's the thing. Everyone does this thing where they're like, look, man, I don't need a piece of paper. I don't need the man or you're controlled by the man or your thoughts or your religion or whatever. The reality is, is this doesn't work. It's like these open marriages, open relationships, these swingers, all this stuff. It'd be awesome if it did. We're just telling you it's not going to work. We're not the man. We don't care. We're not uptight. I'm an atheist. I don't care what you do. I'm just telling you through 10 years of doing this show, it's not going to work. As open-minded as you are, as uptight as the man might be, still ain't going to work.
55:42🔗AdamYou're a human being. It doesn't matter how liberated you are. You're only going to take so much of your equally easy-going bow humping some chick that's someone other than you before you fray an end and go off the deep end.
56:12🔗AdamWell, why do you think? Everyone thinks there's some old white guy that looks like Larry Tate that just gets to make all these rules that don't make sense? You know what I mean? Like, if they didn't work, they wouldn't catch on. Like, everyone does this all the time. Like, how come men get to build skyscrapers and women have to stay home and take care of the kids? Like, that's how it turned out. That's how it worked. That's why. That's how it works. How are you going to argue with it? That's the way it is.
56:38🔗DrewAnd by the way, there's no structure and place that prevents you from being the one that makes skyscrapers. You can go do that.
56:43🔗AdamNah, I know. But that's my whole point. You're not.
56:48🔗DrewYou don't have a drive. See, the thing, here's the deal. For people to take a direction in life, you've got to have a drive to take that direction. Motivational systems. We never talk about that. What drives you to be a certain way. Absolutely. That's basically what makes who you are. You're driven in a certain direction. You're driven to make films. You're driven to be funny. You're driven to take medicine. There you go. That drive is in place. You have to have a lot of it in order to accomplish something like building a skyscraper. If you're not driven to do that, you ain't going to do it.
57:17🔗AdamYeah, I know. The man is not really going to instill that drive in you. It's just you want to act. You want to make films. Not anymore. You want to be a doctor. You want to do nothing. You want to get a 1.75 GPA.
57:34🔗DrewJohn, there was an interesting question up here that I'm going to ask. I fell off the line. It's like an 18-year-old asking how you could go down the path to give drive of becoming a film director.
57:44🔗GuestWell, it depends on the person. I went to film school. I went to USC film school.
57:54🔗GuestBut before I went to USC film school, I was really, really interested in movies. I lived and breathed movies. I watched movies, and I studied and read about different filmmakers and the history of film.
58:07🔗AdamWhat movies did you watch that influenced you growing up?
58:11🔗GuestWell, when I was a kid, a lot of the movies that I liked were like the big sci-fi blockbusters, like Star Wars and Close Encounters and Jaws. 70s stuff. Yeah, 70s stuff. But then something happened to me, and I went to this revival theater, the Rialto Theater.
58:28🔗DrewI've been going there since I was a little kid.
58:30🔗GuestAnd I went there one day, man, and my whole life changed. I'll never forget the first time I saw Woody Allen's Bananas, and then I saw Annie Hall, and then I saw Clockwork Orange, and I was a teenager, and I was like, whoa. So I started to think about movies in a different way. Instead of thinking about these big rollercoaster ride things, I thought about them as films that basically could say something. You know what I mean?
59:00🔗AdamClockwork Orange is a weird one when you're 15.
59:02🔗GuestYeah, I was like, whoa. And so it just really, really set me off to thinking about movies in a whole different way, so I started watching. I thought it was really cool to be able to watch foreign films, like, wow, I'm watching all these Japanese movies and French films and stuff, right? And I started really getting into...
59:25🔗DrewDid you go to early American films at all, like, you know, Chaplin and...
59:27🔗GuestNo, no, I didn't watch any of those films. I watched Westerns, but I watched a lot of... I didn't watch those films. I watched those films early on when I was a kid, but I didn't look at them later on until I was in film school as being statements. I didn't learn that even people within the system were making statements.
59:48🔗AdamWhat are some of your... What do you think your top 10 or so favorite films are?
59:54🔗GuestIt depends. I mean, I love Raging Bull. I love a movie called Bicycle Thief.
1:00:02🔗AdamOh, yeah. I've heard of that, but I don't think I've saw it.
1:00:04🔗GuestJaws is one of my favorite films. I mean, there's a movie called Pichote. It was a Brazilian film. It was made in the 80s. I mean, I like The Seventh Samurai. I got so many different films, 400 Blows.
1:00:17🔗DrewCan you summarize what it is about a film that makes it good for you?
1:00:20🔗GuestI like movies that make you feel something, that take you to a different place, that make you feel something.
1:00:28🔗AdamI never felt stronger about something in my life. I mean, you thought you had passion for that shark.
1:00:34🔗DrewAre you in the auteur mindset, the director?
1:00:37🔗GuestI like all kinds of movies, man. I like westerns.
1:00:40🔗DrewDo you think it should be a collaborative ever or some guy should have or some woman should have the point of view?
1:00:45🔗GuestMovies are a reflection of life. Soon as you turn on a camera on somebody, like I turn the camera on you and follow you around for the rest of the day, then I come up with something really, really interesting. That's a reflection of life, so it could be a collaborative effort. It's not like just someone behind the camera telling somebody what to do. It's about what the actor, I'm pointing to Taryn right now, brings to the whole thing. A vulnerability, certain things. A lot of the times, the best things that actors do, and Taryn could agree with me on this, they're not even aware of because they're making themselves bare and they're just doing it unconsciously.
1:01:24🔗DrewThat's exactly what he told me when I played The Olsen Twins' dad.
1:01:46🔗GuestThese days, no, you should go to school. You should go to school. Not necessarily USC, but any kind of film school, any place that you can go and you can explore a kind of thought process of looking at movies in a different way. Because a lot of people say, hey, they want to make movies and they have different reasons why they want to do it. But if you're in a place and you're with a collective of other people who are studying something, it kind of frees your head up to think about it in a different way, other than being in a room just reading film theory and watching movies and stuff. It's a whole different thing. It's just like the difference between sitting up in front of your TV set or your flat screen watching a movie, as opposed to being in a theater. It's different when you're in a collective of people who are all trying to learn something.
1:02:33🔗AdamTaryn, what are some of your favorite movies? Besides Karate Kid, Karate Kid 2, Karate Kid 3.
1:02:41🔗AdamEverybody within a certain age range I found out is probably somewhere between 25 and 35 likes Goonies. I realize if you're day over 35, you miss Goonies. Yes.
1:03:44🔗AdamWell, a couple months before Boogie Nights. Well, she was in here plugging something else. Yeah. I said to her, and this is 1995 or six or whatever the hell it is, seven whenever the movie came out. But I said, so Heather, what else are you working on? And she said, well, I did a movie called Boogie Nights, which is coming out in about six months. And I said, Boogie Nights, what's that about? She's like, I play Roller Girl. I was like, okay, who else is in this movie? Burt Reynolds and Marky Mark.
1:04:16🔗AdamThe underwear, the underpants guy, and the guy just did Cop and a Half. Burt Reynolds, this is before Burt Reynolds made any comeback. He's been doing junk. And Marky Mark, Mark Wahlberger, and this like underpants hip hop. So you got old Burt Reynolds and you got the hip hop underpants guy. And you're in your roller skates.
1:04:35🔗DrewAnd then it's about the porn industry in the 70s.
1:04:37🔗AdamAnd I was like, what? I was like, it's called Boogie Nights. Yeah. You're Roller Girl? Uh-huh. I said, look, you got to talk to your agent. She got someone's got to get you some decent roles. This sounds like a disaster, you know, because you're a good looking girl.
1:04:49🔗DrewYou're great actors. What are you thinking?
1:04:50🔗AdamWhat are you thinking? Marky Mark and Burt Reynolds? Just give me a break. I just pictured every picture of that movie being pitched. You're on Roller Girl, we got Marky Mark and Burt Reynolds. Now, I mean, now you're working with Wallberg on the latest film and everything, but go back. I don't know, what's it been? Eight years? What was?
1:05:10🔗AdamBeen eight, nine, go back eight, nine years.
1:05:11🔗DrewThe idea of Burt Reynolds and Marky Mark, you have no idea how bizarre that sounded on that night. Yeah, hip hop, Calvin Klein model, and the guy with the weird tube, and the guy you expected Don Deleuze to be in the film too.
1:05:23🔗AdamYeah, a lot of outtakes at the end. I was like, oh, baby, this is going straight to video.
1:05:28🔗DrewHe said that literally, he goes, dude, it's straight to video.
1:05:30🔗AdamThis is my favorite movie of the year. Yeah, I love that movie. David? Yeah, it was funny. And you know, the weirder thing is I knew those kids, who was it Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson?
1:05:49🔗AdamWell, they grew up in the Valley. And while they didn't attend North Hollywood High, obviously, their dad, Ernie Anderson, who used to be the voice of Channel 7. Ernie Anderson is their dad. Ernie Anderson would be the guy going, Yeah, winds of war. Someone's killing showgirls and Dan, what's in a why? You know, or on the love boat.
1:06:13🔗AdamHe was the voice of ABC. That was their dad. And I used to work at the liquor store on Ventura. I used to come in with these little kids, little blonde mop top kids. I was 16 and they were like 12. And they would just come in, as my kids. Later on, the guy just boogie nights.
1:06:56🔗CallerWell, last September, September 14th was her birthday. The day after, she, I don't live at home anymore. I live across the country. She actually committed suicide.
1:07:25🔗AdamYeah. And was she into drugs or anything?
1:07:29🔗CallerShe was when I was younger. She was an alcoholic and she pretty much got into everything. But she seemed to have been doing better off and on. But I lost contact with her for a while. And next thing I knew, I got a call that she was in the hospital. Turned out that she drank antifreeze. Oh, my.
1:07:52🔗AdamAntifreeze. So that's just a suicide attempt. So, well, all right. Okay, why? I don't know. I mean, there's a part of me that likes it and then parts like, well, I don't know, why dredge this up?
1:08:04🔗DrewWhy put that? Here's my sense of what you're up to. You're putting the heat on your girlfriend. You're setting it up in such a way that she has no alternative but to say yes, because it's the anniversary of mom's death. How could you possibly say no? Don't pile that all on.
1:08:22🔗CallerYeah. I don't really think it's like that because we've already talked about marriage before, and it's pretty much I already know we're going to get married. There's no possible way we're not going to. We've talked about it many times.
1:08:36🔗AdamI got an idea. Why don't you just wait till 9-11? That's coming up.
1:08:40🔗DrewWhat is the purpose of putting those two dates together?
1:08:42🔗AdamWhy take the world's crappy state and put it? Don't give me a bunch of rebirth crap.
1:08:47🔗CallerNo. See, what it is is I've gone through a lot of spiritual things, and I feel a lot better about it. I feel okay. It's really changed my life a lot, and my life has been going in a better direction. Anything was that my mom felt unloved. Like she didn't feel like anyone really paid attention to her.
1:09:10🔗DrewShe's incapable of experiencing love because she is an abuse survivor. I mean, that's the story you're telling here, and that's not nobody felt love for her. That's part of her brain that connects with all that wasn't operating.
1:09:22🔗AdamAll right. Wait a minute. A bigger question. I feel that people indulge in this stuff a little too much, and they start, like, you know the people that give you dates all the time? September 22nd, 1985, my mom owed me, like, it's always the dates, you know, the people that hit you with the dates all the time. They can't say a while back or a couple years ago or the other, whatever. They just always hit you with the dates, and you wonder, how many times have you spat out the date of your mother's demise or of the car accident or the tragic event, you know? You keep just searing it into your brain, you know? This date, this date, this date. At a certain point, you should be saying, for your own good, a few years back, my mom passed away, or ten years ago, or about ten years ago, or something like that.
1:10:12🔗DrewThis guy's making the case, and I'm not making it. I'm just suggesting that somehow this is a way of bringing closure to that whole episode by bringing love into that day on behalf of the mom that could never receive love.
1:10:22🔗AdamYeah. If I thought it was to bring closure, I would tell him Mazel Tov. I think it's indulgent and weird.
1:10:30🔗DrewIt's living a fantasy. It's wishing it to be those things.
1:10:37🔗AdamYou should mourn your mom's death, and you should have whatever feelings you have about your mom. But it feels creepy to have your anniversary every year be, or whatever this ends up being for you and your woman be, also a significant date of your mother's death every year.
1:10:58🔗AdamIt just feels weird. Yeah. Not for your sake, for her sake.
1:11:02🔗DrewIf you're going to do it, David, go ahead. We're not saying you're a bad person for doing it. We're just giving you our opinion. They're not saying it's sick, wrong, isn't it?
1:11:09🔗AdamOur opinion is you're a bad person, but we're just giving you our opinion.
1:11:11🔗AdamNo, no. You're not a bad person. I just feel like if I was your fiance or girlfriend, my feeling would be, I don't know, leave me out of this. This is you and your mom's stuff, you know? Can I agree?
1:11:48🔗AdamSo David, how about you have your own thing with your mom and pick another date for your wife or your fiance? That I think that's all our opinion.
1:12:04🔗AdamYeah, we are. But it feels like you're not letting it go very well. And it seems like you're foisting it on the old lady. And by the way, you want to freak out your girlfriend? This is a good way to do it.
1:12:21🔗AdamHe's already circling the calendar. Yeah, I just you know, you know, when I think is a weird kind of baggage. Women women are attracted to and it's not this. You know what I mean?
1:12:34🔗AdamWomen will gladly marry a guy who's abusive or an alcoholic or whatever, depending on where they came from. But they don't want this kind of baggage. This is this is a needy baggage.
1:12:44🔗DrewThis is they want somebody going, if you got that, I'm going to take care of it.
1:12:48🔗DrewI don't want you to have to lay it on you.
1:12:50🔗AdamThis feels needy and this can freak a chick out. Taryn, you'd be a little freaky.
1:12:54🔗GuestYeah, because you want to protect someone from like, because he probably does get really sad that day. Maybe she supports it, but not to put it on her.
1:13:04🔗DrewTaryn would give this guy a roundhouse kick or something.
1:13:06🔗AdamYeah. Spinning crescent, maybe a heel.
1:13:19🔗AdamWe'll take ourselves a quick break. You know you don't see in movies too much, do you, where John, the two-handed punch, ha-cha! You know what I mean? Where they do the two hands, sometimes under the chin, something. You bring that back in your next film, The Two-Hander. Yeah?
1:13:33🔗AdamPlease. Please weave that in. And then put my name on her. We'll take a quick break, we'll be right back after this. One after that. Nowhere. I'm just trying to work. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'll give a little phone number out for a new TV show if you have questions for us. We're doing a new TV show on Comedy Central after The Daily Show, one, eight, six, six, hey Adam.
1:14:13🔗AdamYahay. Eight, six, six, hey Adam. And, cause I remember taking some phone calls on that show and why not have it be one of yours? John Singleton is here tonight. He's one of the producers of Hustle and Flow. Also, Taryn Manning, who's somewhere. She's probably hearing that on a six-second delay out in the hall somewhere because she's not in the studio. But she should be back here. Should we talk to Vanessa?
1:14:51🔗GuestOkay. Love your show and I'm super nervous cause I've never told anybody this.
1:14:57🔗DrewAll right. Well, thank you for setting the table that way. We'll be very, very easy on you. Go ahead.
1:15:03🔗GuestOkay. Back in last July, so, oh my god, it's been like a year. One day, to make the long story short, I was going to the bathroom while my boyfriend was taking a shower. And the way our bathroom is set up, like if you lean back, you can't really see the toilet. And I seen him open the shower door, look around for somebody there, didn't see anybody, and he starts jacking off. And, um...
1:15:34🔗GuestIn the shower. And of course, me being naïve, I didn't know that he did that, and I got so aroused, like, more than ever in my life. Like, I can't tell you how excited I was.
1:15:48🔗GuestAnd I watched him do the deed, and ever since then.
1:15:52🔗AdamHow did you watch him and he didn't see you? Were you looking through a mirror reflection?
1:15:57🔗GuestWell, no, I could like peek around the corner. It's like an L-shaped bathroom, and the, the toilet's in the, the bottom of the L, and the, the shower's right there.
1:16:09🔗GuestSo he can't, everything's like blurry when you can't really see.
1:16:11🔗AdamYou got to put those no skid stickers on the bottom, because he's going down. He's going down. He's going to, he's going to be lunging for the towel bar, he's going to catch his forehead on the soap, that built-in soap thing. That's where you find him. Clinging his penis, broken towel bar. They'll be prying his fingers open, trying to get his penis out and the towel bar out. It's going to be humiliating. Yeah, you have to clean it up for his folks to get there too.
1:16:36🔗AdamYeah. Come up with something less humiliating. Just say he killed himself. They'd definitely appreciate that.
1:16:43🔗DrewJust tie some around his neck and hang it for the show.
1:16:45🔗AdamHang on. That's how it goes, some dignity. All right. That aroused you and now what?
1:16:52🔗GuestOf course, before he's always told me that he doesn't jack off when I'm not around because I like to watch him. Since I found that out, every day now I have to watch him in the shower. Once he caught me and ever since he caught me, that was a month into it, he locks the door, but thank God for me there's a crack. Like the door is a skew. So even when it's closed, like at the bottom of the door, you can still see in like a little crack.
1:17:22🔗GuestSo he's ashamed. He's ashamed of that.
1:17:24🔗DrewBut he does this every day and you watch every day.
1:17:28🔗GuestI guess. I mean, I assume that he's ashamed. I guess I feel like ashamed or that it's bad, but...
1:17:34🔗AdamDoes he masturbate every... Well, what goes on?
1:17:36🔗GuestCan we ask you something? Yeah. Have you ever masturbated in front of him?
1:18:00🔗AdamPow. Yeah. Well, look, here's the reality with guys. We masturbate because we want to get away. You know, you guys take a bubble bath or a sauna. We beat off. That's our escape.
1:18:20🔗AdamTake me away. We want to get away from your ass. That's why we're beating off and feeling the prying eyes. When we're trying to, you know, that's your fortress of solitude, by the way. That shower, wherever you're beating off is your fortress of solitude. I don't care if it's your car. That's your fortress of solitude is a guy. We don't need you looking in on us.
1:18:40🔗DrewHowever, the fact that you were traumatized as you were, which is not a damaging trauma, creates arousal on these kinds of voyeuristic kinds of behaviors.
1:18:51🔗GuestWhy don't you two work on masturbating next to each other?
1:19:12🔗AdamIt's benign, but yet there's a little nuttiness propelling it, and the guy feels it coming at him.
1:19:18🔗DrewHere's what it feels like, I can never do this without it involving her, and the whole deal is doing it by himself.
1:19:27🔗AdamWhen guys feel intrusion, they feel like... You ever try to put drops in your dog's eye or ear or something? The guys are just like, man, you're like, hold still, I'm not going to do anything. And you're like, I just don't...
1:20:12🔗DrewIt's a certain tone, an ergonomic tone.
1:20:16🔗AdamYou want to not hear it for an evening? Come by my place. You hear the sounds of silence, baby. Come on down, Drew. Do you want to look quiet from all the noise? Come on down.
1:20:27🔗DrewI didn't want to bring it up. I have it on this paper right here. Come over for dinner. Vanessa, how about if you created some structure with this? How about if you made a game out of it? Certain days he plays along with you.
1:20:40🔗DrewYou pretend this is what he's looking.
1:20:41🔗AdamI'm thinking you're going to drive this guy away. I'm feeling like, look, here's the deal. He shouldn't be beating off every morning if you two are living together.
1:21:00🔗GuestHe is a workaholic, but I'm a stay-at-home mom. So I am home, like, even on days when he gets a haircut in the middle of the day and comes home at one or two after his haircut to take a shower, I make sure that I am home. You know, I'm like, OK, when are you getting your haircut?
1:21:28🔗AdamThat's the bad part. That's what he's responding to. You're freaking him out. That's why I'm trying, I don't think it's a great idea for you just to pick Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to watch him beat off in the shower. I think you got to settle this. I mean, this is-
1:22:49🔗DrewGive her, first of all, when you put her on hold, do not hang up on her. She gets the direction.
1:22:54🔗AdamYes. Guys feel cornered sometimes. Here's what a guy likes to do. Even when he's married, even when he's in a relationship, he likes to feel like he has a little autonomy, a little freedom. You got to let him have his boy's night out. That doesn't mean go see a hooker. That means just let him go with the guys and blow off a little steam. You know, and then let him go to a ball game.
1:23:15🔗AdamHim and his penis. Let the guy have a little space. If you try to encroach on that too much, the guy eventually is just going to slip out of there. Yeah. Okay.
1:23:25🔗DrewI'll tell you what, this is going to be not something she can break easily. Maybe, and that's why I'm saying put some structure around it so it's not the momentum that she has. It's like any other compulsive sexual behavior.
1:23:35🔗AdamListen to me though, Weisenheimer. If this was a guy saying, I have to peer in on my wife and I have to see her, what you're doing, you would say, hey, knock it off, buddy. Let's go.
1:23:44🔗DrewYou got to work on that. I would say work on it, but I'd say find a way to make a game out of it that you can both participate in where she's not being exploited or feeling looked in upon or violated on their privacy. Get him to participate in it.
1:23:57🔗AdamThe more she puts the screws to him, the more he wants to slip away.
1:24:01🔗DrewBut maybe he can agree to one day a week or something.
1:24:08🔗AdamJohn Singleton is in studio tonight. Name of the new movie is Hustle and Flow. We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back after this.
1:24:34🔗DrewInto the West. Did you see it, the TNT thing?
1:24:42🔗DrewFive or six. Very long. And in three, two, one, go.
1:24:47🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Taryn Manning is back in studio tonight. John Singleton. Steady John Singleton, always in studio.
1:24:59🔗AdamHe's the, I don't know if I, he's the Gordie Howe of Guess. Gordie Howe. Not too many white hockey players use his reference for black radio guests, but he's Mr. Consistent. Gordie Howe played hockey in his like 50s or something. It is kind of nuts, isn't it?
1:25:24🔗AdamYou know what I like about hockey? You know how here's you know how hockey is a bizarre sport because hockey made a rule even though everyone else wore helmets, batting helmets, cycling helmets, football helmets, motorcycle helmets. Everyone wore helmets and except for hockey, which is the one sport where you really needed a helmet because here's what you got.
1:25:43🔗DrewHere's the ultimate logic. Not old hockey players.
1:25:47🔗AdamWell, those guys really don't that's what I'm saying. They didn't wear helmets. I mean, ice is harder than concrete and the puck is no picnic. If that hits you in the head either, then there's sticks and there's fights. So then they pass a rule like 1984 or something that says, everyone's got to wear a helmet, except for the guys who got in the league before the rule. They don't have to wear a helmet.
1:26:09🔗DrewThat was the rule, yeah. If you're 50, you've got some delicate vessels in your head because you're older. Don't worry about it. You have to wear a helmet.
1:26:16🔗AdamSo for the first 15 years of the helmet rule, was only the guys who got in after 1983 or whatever who were wearing the helmets. The guys who got in the league six months earlier could play their whole career with no helmet. They were grandfathered into the no helmet. I guess you were considered a pussy if you put a helmet on when you didn't have to put a helmet on. So for many years, if anyone remembers, there'd be half the guys who were wearing helmets and the other half weren't wearing helmets.
1:26:44🔗GuestWhat's up with that, you know, because they reinstated the whole thing with the hockey, but what's the red line rule?
1:26:49🔗AdamOh, I don't think I'm rid of the red line.
1:26:52🔗AdamThat's the whole thing. You know you're in trouble in a sport when you cancel a rule and no one knows what the eff it is, you know what I mean? Like in football, in football, if they said, no more extra points, you'd be like, what? What do you mean no more? Everyone knows what an extra point is. Hockey's like, we're getting rid of the orange line, huh? What is that? I don't remember seeing that.
1:27:11🔗DrewWell, I knew there was a red line there. I never knew what it was for.
1:27:13🔗AdamYeah, I know. I've heard the icing call made 7,000 times. I've never once understood. Real no good idea how that's, I think that's like cherry picking in hockey. Well, anyway, thank God hockey's coming back. I can see John and Taryn are elated. Can't wait.
1:27:29🔗GuestWe were playing hockey on Four Brothers.
1:27:42🔗AdamI mean, he always played hockey fanatics.
1:27:44🔗GuestNo, I wasn't a hockey fanatic, but I'm saying we... That's how I got the dudes in Four Brothers to bond, gave them skates and equipment. And we got them, you know, we got some players because everybody up in Toronto, they were out of work, all the hockey players. We got them coaches and they learned how to play hockey.
1:28:02🔗GuestI got the brothers playing hockey in the movie on the skates.
1:28:05🔗AdamThe brothers set their goal on, pardon the pun, on hockey. There's no doubt they'd be kicking Whitey's ass in this matter of months.
1:28:13🔗GuestThe cool thing about it, have you played before? Have you played?
1:28:15🔗AdamNo, I'm from North Hollywood. We don't have possibles.
1:28:18🔗GuestThe cool thing about playing hockey is... You roll your blades. There's so much energy and you get so hot, but then you keep cool because then you're on ice.
1:28:27🔗AdamYeah, I always used to, I always played football and it was hot because the sun was beating down on your head. And I always used to be jealous of guys who were like on the swim team or guys who played hockey because at least, no matter how much energy they're expending, you're on a block of ice. You can't get that bad. You know what I mean? That's my whole thing with hockey. Does the goalie need that water bottle sitting on top of the net? He's got to bring his beverage out there with him? You can't stand there for 20 minutes? You don't need to replenish yourself? You're bringing a beverage? What's next? You bring a 12-pack or cooler out there, have a Bota bag around your neck?
1:29:29🔗AdamIt sits on top of the goal, too. You go in during the quarter break or whatever. You get a sip of water.
1:29:35🔗DrewThat's the deal. Because it stays cold.
1:29:37🔗AdamIt's free. You're standing on a block of ice. You're going to dehydrate. You're not moving half the time. The pucks go in the other way. If you do move, you got six inches to the right, six inches to the left. You're not doing wind sprints. You need the water out there for. That's all I'm saying, Drew.
1:29:51🔗AdamYeah, they got the gear, but they can't move it.
1:29:54🔗GuestIf you guys, listeners out there, when you do see four brothers, look closely at the goalie in the scene when they're playing hockey. It's me.
1:30:16🔗DrewThe wrestler in the 70s. Olympic wrestler in the 70s. Chris Taylor, I think his name was. He weighed about 400 pounds. Yeah. Put him in the goal.
1:30:23🔗AdamWell, they got guys that go 700, 800 pounds now.
1:31:00🔗GuestI've done it with my toys and I love it, but my boyfriend that I have right now, I've tried to talk to him about it and he just doesn't seem into it at all.
1:31:10🔗AdamDrew, you're looking for a nanny, aren't you, for the kids? I'm just saying we're going to get a number off the air.
1:31:15🔗DrewSounds like a delight. Have you told him how into it you are?
1:31:20🔗GuestYeah. At first, I was just like, I think maybe we could try to be fun and he just didn't sound into it at all.
1:31:27🔗DrewWell, you're not going to get our guy into it that way. Because if he's not into it, that's not going to take him down that path.
1:31:33🔗AdamI think it's going to be a tough sell.
1:31:34🔗DrewBut if she says, this is something I am, you'll really, for me, then I think he might go for it. But you have to be very clear about that.
1:31:42🔗AdamYeah. There's also the element of possibly, like we're talking about with the masturbatorial call a few minutes back, there's the possibility of freaking the guy out a little bit too. But you can give it a try.
1:31:53🔗GuestI can masturbate when he's with me and he totally likes it, and sometimes I'll take his fingers and stick him in there. He starts to like it, but then he's like he doesn't really know.
1:32:21🔗AdamThat's a little more of a plan. Yeah. All right. All right, Holly. Best of luck to you. Mazel tov. You kids. You kids are dynamite. Good luck to you. All right. Dynamite kids calling me. A lot of people have a lot of things to say about this country and its youth. It's calls like that. They give you renewed sense of faith and hope in this country. That's right. They're our future. This is our future right here, buddy. Take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Well, that's the show. That's the week. I want to thank Taryn and John for coming in here tonight and representing Hustle and Flow out in a theater near you. And then you can look for four brothers coming out in a couple of weeks.
1:33:33🔗AdamAnd keep an eye out for Taryn's other projects as well. I wanna thank Todd for doing a great job engineering all week long. And of course, Michelle and Anderson, who's out of town, we'll give them thanks anyway. Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Producer Lauren and Producer Ann and phone screener. Who the hell? Trisha. Trisha.
