1:20🔗VoiceoverThat's right, no, it's Dr. Drew. The phone number here at Loveline is 1-800-LOVE-191. Corolla's off doing his big Comedy Central show, which premiered yesterday, and I saw it again tonight. And he'll be back again next week. But tonight, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, friend of the show, filling the shoes of Adam Corolla, Nicole Sullivan.
1:41🔗DrewAnd Nicole just reminded me that she's been doing this Loveline for 12 years.
1:46🔗AdamYeah, like, honestly, I'd say, like, I'd say a solid 10 years.
1:51🔗DrewI like an idiot whoop. It is a big whoop. I like an idiot whoop. Oh, remember, I remember you guys first came on the MTV show, Loveline. No, no, I did it five times before that.
1:58🔗AdamYeah, I did it a bunch before the MTV show. And then it was like, now they're going television. And we were with you. We were like, they're going to TV. We're with them.
2:06🔗DrewWe had fun. You guys came on a bunch, too.
2:11🔗DrewWell, you are quite an attractive bunch. And then, and Mad TV. Now, you heard about your new show Hot Properties debuts October 7th. What time, ABC?
2:18🔗AdamABC nine thirties, nine thirty on Friday nights. Friday after everyone's favorite hope and faith.
2:25🔗DrewTell me. You know, my wife does like that show.
2:29🔗DrewAnd what? Tell me about the Hot Properties.
2:32🔗AdamHot Properties is basically four women selling real estate and they're all hot. Believe me, I'm on the lowest rank of that hotness. It gets much cuter than me. And it's like, it's just like Sex in the City light.
2:50🔗AdamAnd I actually really like designing women. I remember watching it when I was growing up. So it's like women sort of chattering about life. But it's not anti-male. It's not like men turn away.
3:01🔗DrewSomething like that though, if it's written in clever writing, it will be great.
3:05🔗AdamI swear to God, Dr. Drew, you know, I've done a cabillion pilots. Like I make my own my house because of and for people that for people that don't know, like the TV, Anderson, you're freaking Nicole out. What did he say?
3:30🔗AdamI'll turn for you. You know, pilots are things that you do like pretend shows and then they decide to pick them up or not.
3:36🔗DrewPeople out in the real world may not know about that. There's millions and millions of these pilots.
3:40🔗AdamIt's like fake shows, these pilots you do. I've done a million of them. Of all the pilots I've done, this is the pilot that had, was the funniest of anything I've ever done. And then it got picked up. And so now it's actually on TV, which is the good news. But I swear to goodness, it's chock full of jokes. It's not Sex and the City in that it doesn't make people, like, it's not shock value, which I kind of got annoyed about Sex and the City. We don't talk about the size of their penises.
4:08🔗DrewNot only was all that shock and stuff, but Sex and the City was unrealistic. There was some sick broads. Someone's character were ill, emotionally ill.
4:33🔗DrewYeah. Again, it was well-written, and I just didn't like the fact that it wasn't more realistic in terms of the real, who those people actually were in real life.
4:41🔗AdamI hope you guys will listen to me. I'm the craziest of the four, so, you know, it goes for me, but it's fun. Just tune in. It's fun.
4:47🔗DrewAnd we were talking a little bit off there that MADtv has had a renaissance on Comedy Central. My kids have picked up on it, and they TiVo it and watch MADtv like the goddamn Zabruder tapes. I mean, they like study. And my son and I watched one tonight where you guys are on Gilligan's Island speaking in Spanish.
5:06🔗AdamJust like different sketches in Spanish. Honestly, MADtv is one of those shows. I was there when it was born. I'm a million years old now. And it's my baby, and I love it. And it's, guys, it's anyone who wants to watch it, it's still just as edgy as it was then.
5:23🔗DrewAnd I remember back in the day when you started it, it was always getting canceled. It was the show that got canceled 4,000 times.
5:31🔗DrewLast season, music, guys, Matt Davis had it up. It's over. 19 seasons later, you guys are like, well, I guess we could go on for a while. And it really has had some serious talent on there.
5:42🔗AdamIt's been great, but I said when it first got picked up, I said 20 years. I honestly said it, like I was a baby then, I was 24, so who knows what I knew.
5:51🔗DrewAlex Borstein we have frequently, and so we're friends with the Family Guy folks.
5:56🔗AdamOh, they're the best. You know, I'm a voice for hire for Family Guy.
6:31🔗AdamI've never seen a co-host. This is like huge for me.
6:33🔗DrewYou're a co-host, you can take the show wherever you want. And the great thing, you can even be like Corolla and just talk incessantly the whole show if you want and not take any calls.
6:40🔗AdamOh, that's a female, I assume, right? That one, yeah.
7:06🔗Nicole SullivanI know, she is. Anyway, so I have a question for you guys. I'm married. I've been married about a year and a half and I can't get over a crush that I have on my husband's brother. And it's really terrible because I know that it's completely unhealthy.
7:26🔗DrewLet's roll it back a little bit. How did you, did you meet your husband first or the brother-in-law?
7:30🔗Nicole SullivanI met my husband first. I met him in high school.
7:33🔗DrewAnd the brother-in-law, when did that attraction come along?
7:37🔗Nicole SullivanProbably about a year into going out with my husband, who was my then boyfriend.
7:43🔗DrewAnd then that was just no way after that, right? Right. You never consummated in any way? No. No. Okay. And why did you get married? With harboring this, carrying this torch for the brother-in-law? You got married at 20. Come on.
7:58🔗Nicole SullivanI know. I know. See, it's not something that is like, I try to convince myself out of it, of like not liking him or whatever.
8:50🔗DrewWell, Gwen, here's the deal. Are you going to see this marriage through? You want to stay married?
8:54🔗Nicole SullivanI can't imagine it. I can't imagine it working and then I can't imagine it not working.
8:59🔗DrewWell, you have to decide are you going to hang with this marriage or not?
9:04🔗AdamActually, you're in a perfect place, Gwen. I mean, not perfect. Ideally, you'd know forever. But the fact that it's like you're going, I see both sides, it's up to you right now. Like you have to make a mental decision and it's honestly going to be the biggest choice of your life. Right.
9:18🔗DrewAnd if you go, you're going to see this through, which is fine. You've got to not even be around the brother-in-law. You can't even have the potential of going down that path. You know there's a spark there. You know there's a chemistry. Do not let it ignite. You have a responsibility to stay away from that guy. Don't let it happen. Don't get near it and work on your marriage. Don't have a kid to solve the problem.
9:41🔗Nicole SullivanI know I'm not having kids for like ten years.
9:47🔗DrewLet me finish one thing. You could get divorced, but then you're going to give up the brother-in-law too. Don't forget. You're not going to be with this brother-in-law no matter what.
9:56🔗AdamNicole, what? Honestly, no matter what's easy, you're not being with him. Here's the best way to get over someone that like... He seems perfect in theory, which is the whole thing about like imaginary crushes. Next time he's around, look at his zits, look at the hair on his back. Honestly, make yourself nauseous over him because the bottom line is...
10:17🔗DrewCole thinks about her boyfriend, her fiance on the John. That's how she deals with it.
10:22🔗AdamJust like imagine... He's honestly as annoying as your husband can be to you, which all husbands can be. He can be just as annoying. You have to go to that place with him. You can't imagine him to be perfect. Imagine the zits, imagine the hairlessness, imagine the hair in the wrong place, and just sort of honestly force yourself to get it out of your brain because it's just you stopping yourself.
10:43🔗DrewIf she were like 30, I'd say something in the order of the fact that she's using this idealized vision of the brother-in-law as a way of sort of distancing herself from an intimacy.
11:25🔗DrewDo you have any, you want to sort of give me some history to make sure there's not something predisposing to all this? Were you ever sexually abused? Any physical abuse?
11:32🔗I was sexually molested, well I was molested by my mom's boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend.
11:37🔗DrewAnd I can predict that that happened to your mom too, because that's why she brings the sexual abuser into the house, and that's why she's shut down.
11:44🔗And I got almost raped by an current ex-boyfriend.
11:49🔗DrewFantastic. So we don't really have to go down the genetic path, do we? There's a lot of environmental stuff here, it's shut you down. And in fact some research has shown if the sexual abuse was painful, you can actually have what's called a somatoform dissociation, where you disconnect from your body.
12:08🔗DrewYou're actually numb, just the way people psychologically numb out, you can actually somatically numb out too. And so Ashley, yeah, there's a lot here. Now, unfortunately, when people have sexual abuse, what happens is they can go from being shut down like this to becoming hypersexual and then shutting down again, they go kind of back and forth. And this is something that should be treated really, this is not about an orgasmic function, this is about trauma.
12:28🔗AdamBut that's true, I mean, I listen to the show all the time and you say it should be treated, but it's very scary for kids.
12:51🔗DrewAnother story. To say, yeah, I'm just going to get it treated. Because the reality is these are complex things to treat. There's not even uniformity of philosophy about how to approach them. But fundamentally, at very least, you need to get in some mental health services. You can start with your school.
13:07🔗DrewWell, it's usually the simple school counselor. If you have a doctor, you tell your doctor and get a referral.
13:12🔗AdamBut most of the times, these kids don't go to doctors by themselves. They go with their parents.
13:16🔗DrewWell, that's true. And here's, by the way, here's something to look for. If you're with a doctor, you're 15 or older. That doctor should take the parent out, it should meet you with your parent, set some ground rules about you being the doctor, you're going to take care of the adolescent, have a meeting together, and then say, now meet with each of you alone, and then separate the child and the parent, meet with each alone, and then meet with the gold one back together again.
13:38🔗AdamSo maybe if you're a kid, you could say to the nurse, whisper to the nurse, by the way, can you ask the doctor, I don't want to ask, but can you ask the doctor to meet with us separately?
13:44🔗DrewYes, but an adolescent, anybody that deals with that lesson should know, meet together, meet apart, and back together again.
13:51🔗DrewI know, I know. These days when nobody has time to do anything.
13:54🔗AdamBut when you're in trouble, like Dr. Drew was saying, and you need help, just talk to someone who you know won't talk to your parents, and just try to get any angle to talk to a therapist.
14:04🔗DrewDoes your mom know you've been sexually abused?
14:06🔗Yeah, she does, but she doesn't really care. And I already tried...
14:11🔗DrewYou know, when moms have been sexually abused themselves, it's not even that they don't care. They shut down to all this.
14:20🔗DrewThey're so overwhelmed by having put their daughter in the same thing, it's like, I can't not just shut off, just can't deal. But Ashley, do you have an idea who you might want to talk to?
14:36🔗Where? I went to new counselors for school, and I also saw this program that said that if you maybe, it was the man's fault that you couldn't get turned on.
14:46🔗DrewNo, no, no, Ashley, this is not about not being turned on. Forget about the turn on thing.
15:14🔗AdamBut you forget about that. That's not the issue. The issue is you need to deal with your anger at your mom for not dealing with your trauma, which is that you were abused.
15:23🔗DrewYeah, and again, you're not going to trust the therapist, and you're going to find a reason to sabotage it, but get back into the people you were talking to.
15:28🔗AdamYou'll enjoy sex eventually, but that should be like the last thing on your list right now.
15:32🔗DrewI'll tell you the other thing that people like Ashley do is that they will then go for really, really bad people, and only with them can they feel sexual, because it's a bad part of themselves that they feel ashamed of. Amen.
15:49🔗AdamWell, yeah. I mean, I, you know, it's...
15:51🔗DrewI think a lot of young girls do that just generally.
15:53🔗AdamYeah. It's like people say, like, rank the sex. I have to say, in my life, when people like the best sex, of all my boyfriends, I mean, people I've loved and cared for...
16:07🔗AdamI love you, Jason, my fiancé. I don't... There's no way to rank the sex. Like, I honestly couldn't. Like, I don't care. Like, it's great. It's... Like, it is what it is.
16:32🔗DrewWhat is that? Because men don't have that.
16:35🔗AdamBecause it was... It honestly... It was control. Like, I was smarter than him. I knew better than him. I... And I was in control for, like, a minute of my life because he was so dumb and so stupid and, like, shaped like a gorilla. Like, I was like... He was an idiot. And I got to control the situation. And that was the best sex of my life.
17:00🔗DrewBut some women talk about being sort of swept away and being out of control as being that...
17:07🔗AdamSee, this is what I think. I think the out of control is women choosing to become out of control. I think that's when they have the best sex. Women...
17:15🔗DrewBut they only do that with the J.O.'s, you know, the guys who are sociopaths.
17:20🔗AdamBut I think that they... A woman being out of control legitimately is scary as shoot. But like, they choose to be out of control, like, what? You're holding my wrist down? What?
17:30🔗DrewOh, pretend out of control stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:31🔗AdamYeah, that's exactly. I think that's what they mistake for out of control. Like, they choose to be out of control.
17:35🔗DrewWell, some people, if they've been traumatized in a powerless circumstance, they will then be attracted to really out of control situations and will actually recreate, you know, more serious stuff.
17:47🔗DrewIt's very interesting. Here's the thing I do know is that... I've said this before last couple of weeks is that what makes a... By the way, is this Tuesday? Tuesday? Wednesday?
17:55🔗DrewTuesday. Okay. My show is the Discovery Health Channel. Some of you are listening across the country.
17:59🔗AdamDr. Drew is drunk and on shrooms. Discovery Health Channel.
18:03🔗DrewThat the thing that makes men men is the... There's something called the sex chromosomes. I think their genetic material is packed into the chromosomes. And the sex chromosomes, XY chromosome, makes a male a male is the Y chromosome. And it's decaying. It's getting smaller with time. And it's already a small piece of genetic material. Pretty much the same in all men. So it makes a male a male. It's pretty much all the same. The X chromosome, which is a large piece of genetic material, lots of information, extremely diverse, different one from the other. Women have two of those. So no two women are really the same. They're very different, which adds to the confusion and all these things.
18:38🔗AdamI think with women it's... We honestly make it up as we go. Like it's one of those things.
18:44🔗AdamYeah, exactly. And I think that... I really believe that women don't like bad guys. I truly believe that. Most women, I agree with you. Unless they've been terribly abused. But even slightly abused or sort of emotionally abused. They don't want bad guys. They just want... They want to be bad girls because that's exciting.
19:03🔗DrewBut the only time they can do that is with a bad guy?
19:48🔗DrewYes. Basically, Adam realized that all the macabre, weird stories out there in the press either emanate from Germany or Florida. So our callers call in with the story. We tell them Germany or Florida. We sort of play here. Eric. Oh, here. This is David Ambrose.
21:27🔗DrewLet Nicole believe the fantasy for a second, will you, Eric? Come on, relax.
21:31🔗Let me tell you, I'm near Florida. A man was arrested at his home the morning after he attempted to break into a liquor store. He had apparently used a chain wrapped around the bumper of his car to try to pull the bars from the front doors of the store. When he accelerated away from the doors, the bumper was ripped from the car.
21:48🔗DrewWith the license plate. I think we heard this one. But I can't remember whether it was Germany or Florida, but it sounds Florida. What do you think? Is it the bump at the loose bumper? In Europe, all the bumper's are incorporated.
23:29🔗Okay. Well, I probably had it since I was about 15 or 16. I was wondering how it affected my sex drive because I wasn't really at an age where I would really know the difference.
23:41🔗DrewIt could knock you down a notch or two. And it can also affect your growth and development, more importantly. And it has an influence on circulating sex hormones and how so? Well, it's sort of the accelerator of the body. It sort of spurs everything. Yeah, it kind of down regulates. And so naturally enough, things like sexuality can be affected by that, too. But it's definitely not permanent. Although people with autoimmune thyroid disease, which is what you have, are at some added risk of autoimmune disease in other endocrine organs like the ovaries. So you've got to just kind of keep an eye on it.
24:14🔗AdamYou've got to ask your gynecologist to do that because there's an extra ovarian disease sort of test you can do these days, right?
24:22🔗DrewYeah, there's a few things you can do. I'm not quite sure what you're referring to.
24:26🔗AdamHe's smiling at me going like, oh, that's cute.
24:29🔗DrewBut if you get an irregularity in your period, you're going to need to be on thyroid replacement, take the replacement, get the test to make sure it's right. If your periods are still irregular, then you might want to check out the ovarian function.
24:37🔗AdamBut as far as sex drive, I would say it should be normal.
24:40🔗DrewEverything should be completely normal with us.
24:42🔗AdamThis is the thing, every girl goes through this. Like at 20, I was like, I hate sex, I hate everything. You just gotta go into yourself.
24:48🔗DrewI want to pick this discussion. We have to actually have to take a break. But I want to pick this discussion up there because you seem to have a lot.
25:01🔗AdamYou pick one. One Florida or Germany. That's my battle.
25:08🔗DrewNicole Sullivan is my co-host. Her new show is called Hot Properties. It comes out October 7th on ABC. That's Friday at 9.30. Are we going to hear another dag? Yours is much better.
25:26🔗DrewAll right. We'll come back. In the meantime, the phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. The great Nicole Sullivan. You know her from Mad TV. And she's going to tell us all about how women's brains work after this.
26:30🔗DrewAre you gonna tell us about how women's brains work? You started with, all women wanna do that. And I thought, OK, this I have to hear what all women want to do.
26:37🔗AdamI don't even know where I was going with that. We were talking about sex.
26:40🔗DrewAbout sex and what makes someone happy when they're teenagers.
26:43🔗AdamI mean, the thing is this, like all women, this is the fallacy is that like, I love when guys go like, my girl loves having sex many times and she can come, she manage many times. Like, it's all. Yeah. BS.
27:00🔗DrewWell, first of all, you understand men are indoctrinated with the idea that women are experiencing the same thing that they are.
27:09🔗AdamAnd I'm saying that as someone, I legitimately actually really like sex and my fiance, I love you Jason. Like, we have great sex. Like, it's amazing. But I'm also in my 30s and it's so much different now than it was. It's honestly a lie. My 20s was a lie of sex.
27:32🔗DrewLike, why did you guys do it? Men are driven out of their mind to do it.
27:37🔗AdamBecause you want to be that person to them. You want to be that good to that person. You're like, I want to be that person.
27:45🔗DrewThis is the thing that drives me. Approval. But why do women, why do I get the approval by going, here's what I need. Here's what I'm looking for in this relationship. And you, no. Unrealistic.
27:54🔗AdamNo, unrealistic. There's no, at 24, you're going to go, here's what I need in this relationship. No, you're going to get the best BJ you can. And hope that they really like you. That's the truth.
28:05🔗DrewBut that's so, I have to use such a pejorative term. It's pathetic.
28:09🔗AdamYeah, it's so pathetic. And ladies, it leads you to nowhere. Like, I didn't get engaged till I was 35 for a reason. It's because I was constantly trying to prove myself. And, I mean, I have to say, I was not a slutty person. Like, I didn't lose my virginity till I was 21. Like, I was really a prudish. And I've only slept with, like, 15 people in my life, which is, you know, not a lot, considering that I'm 35 and got engaged. Like, but the problem is, like, you're convinced at the time. Like, I just wanted to make a mark. Like, I wanted to, like, remember me. Like me, remember me.
28:46🔗DrewSo different than what men's motivational priorities are. So different.
28:51🔗AdamTheir motivation is that evening. My motivation was, remember me in a month.
28:59🔗AdamMine was, I really like a girlfriend of mine did a thing. And this is I don't want to talk. I don't want to talk glibly using the word rape. I really don't. But my girlfriend said, like, half of my sexual experiences in my 20s were basically date rape. And I don't mean to be glib, but like, it's these moments you're like, I don't really want to, but you do anyway. Ladies, it's not worth it. They don't care. You think they'll care tomorrow and they don't care.
29:24🔗DrewThat's like anathema where they're at. Like that doesn't even figure in. It doesn't even matter. It's not like, what? What are you talking about? How does that? We're the same.
29:36🔗AdamAnd then they'll remember tomorrow and then they'll...
29:39🔗AdamYou don't even expect a phone call. You expect them to tell their friends about you. And it's still, it just you want to matter somewhere. And the, it's, I know.
29:47🔗DrewI put my daughter in a convent, convent. Swear to God. So you're getting married. Well, we'll talk more about the marriage in a second. Okay. So you pick a call here.
29:55🔗AdamA weight loss. I always love weight loss, but that's a sort of silly question.
30:08🔗Nicole SullivanWell, I'm pretty messed up over like, like I'm 20 and I'm pretty messed up over a guy that I'm in love with and he's 45 and nobody's been able to give me any, you know, good advice. So I was just hoping for an outside opinion.
30:37🔗AdamOkay, I'm going to talk to you right now, real quick. Okay. I was 21 years old. Excuse me, worked in an office with a 35, you know, 10 years, 35 year old, had feelings for me. And he did, like I stand by at this day, had feelings for me, entered a relationship with him, married.
30:55🔗AdamHe was married. The, and my fiance knows about this, so I'm admitting it. It was the worst thing I've ever done to myself. And it's, you're in a, you're basically, you know, in a kamikaze pilot is, do you know what that expression is?
31:13🔗AdamYeah, you're, you're flying a plane down to the ground and it's going to end in flames. And it doesn't, the thing is, I believe you. I believe that he likes you and I believe that he has feelings for you. The thing is, it doesn't matter.
31:26🔗Nicole SullivanI know. I've known him for like four years.
31:28🔗And the same, what makes it worth is he was married and he has a daughter.
31:33🔗Nicole SullivanAnd he just got a divorce. And it's like, he told me he was getting a divorce before he actually got the divorce. And I just feel responsible now that maybe some part of it had to do with me, because.
31:51🔗AdamAnd I'm sure you're adorable and awesome, but there's no way.
31:54🔗DrewThis is not a good, this is too big an age difference. It would be a very seriously unhappy thing for you to go with this guy.
32:01🔗AdamCan you imagine when you're 40 and yeah, I'm seriously unhappy right now.
32:05🔗Nicole SullivanJust even, you know, I know that nothing can ever happen. And that's what's just the hardest part is I just know that nothing can ever come of our relationship.
32:12🔗DrewReally. The smartest thing is to get out of that environment and go have a life somewhere else away from this guy. Cut it off and establish a social care.
32:20🔗Nicole SullivanI was I tried and I'm actually in a separate state than he is right now. But he could keep it.
32:26🔗DrewThat's that's all good. How did it get so far along?
32:29🔗Nicole SullivanYeah. I worked with him when I was in high school and then I moved away. I went to college.
32:37🔗DrewOkay. Well, here's the other part you got to know. This guy is an asshole. That's what you have to know and that's the part you can't see. They're yelling at me for you. This guy is an a-hole then. Let me say that. This guy is not, you can't see it from your perspective because of course you idealize him. You have all these wonderful feelings for him. But a man, a father, would allow himself to go into that kind of a relationship with even potentially evoking romantic passions in you is a jerk, is a guy with problems and a guy you're not going to want to stay with. By the way, if you want to know how his next relationship is going to end, look at the last one, okay? That's how yours is going to end with him too.
33:18🔗AdamImagine a guy you're going to get married, let's say in five, ten years, right? Imagine your husband all of a sudden likes a 16, 17, 18-year-old. What would you think of him?
33:30🔗AdamYeah. That's who you're attracted to right now.
33:32🔗DrewSomething's wrong. Something's very, very wrong there. I don't know him, but I can tell you there's a symptom here that suggests something is very wrong.
33:39🔗AdamI believe you when you say that he has feelings for you. I believe you and the bottom line is be the bigger person and dump him.
33:49🔗DrewWe're good. What's going on there, buddy?
33:52🔗I had a little question about a drug test here.
33:55🔗AdamOh, I love these because the answers are always the same and people always call like, wait, one more thing. How can I trick this drug test? All right, Dave, what do you have?
34:06🔗There you go. I heard it before that it's like body weight about like how far, how long it takes to get out of your system.
34:53🔗DrewWell, you should be fine even at that heavy consumption. Certainly, if you're going to be changing your exercise patterns or losing weight, you'd want to do that now because stuff can be released from the fat. Even several weeks later, but you're talking about six weeks and that should be fine.
35:11🔗The other question I had is that some drug test that my friend was talking about, they take a piece of your hair?
35:18🔗DrewYeah, that one, that's a nefarious test. That's hard to interpret. It's hard to predict how it's going to turn out. I'd be more concerned about that if they're going to do a hair test, but they normally don't do that because they really are not really reproducible. They can't really do much with it.
35:33🔗AdamIf they're going to do that, you may be working for the wrong firm if you're a pot smoker.
35:39🔗DrewYeah, good point. But he said he's not going to be an airline pilot.
35:41🔗AdamWait, did you hear that? I mean, I don't mean to stop the questions, but remember, there was that story, because I know you're a big anti-ecstasy person, and that the kid who died from ecstasy supposedly, and he actually died from ecstasy and cocaine, I saw it on Dateline, and they took some of his hair, and they said of his hair, like it was like 80 percent like the serotonin, they could tell how much serotonin levels he had from his hair.
36:08🔗DrewSo he had a serotonin excess syndrome, the serotonin syndrome, which is a rare complication of-
36:13🔗AdamIt was one of the very few, and the mother donated his brain to science, knowing that, yeah, it was rough.
36:20🔗DrewPoker. I watched you kill everybody. It seemed like you seemed like a show, like you're pretending like you didn't know what you're doing, and that some of your betting was diabolical.
36:34🔗AdamListen, I'm not going to lie to you, I can play a little poker. I've never actually before I played that game- Diabolical.
36:39🔗DrewDid you see it? Did you hear the commentary?
36:41🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, it was good. Well, here's a little fun fact for the kids at home. Between the first match that I played, honestly, I've been playing poker my whole life, but I only played Texas Hold'em once.
36:54🔗AdamYeah, I told them, but I sort of played dumb, but they all sort of bought into it. Between that game and the finals, I totally made out with Phil Gordon, the guy, the poker pro. And he's so cute, and he's worth $98 million. So I was like, I'm going to give it a shot. I mean, he's super cute. And in the finals game, he was like, Sullivan makes another nice move. Suddenly he was on my side. But I have to say, I'm not a bad poker player because they really think I'm dumb. I've played now a handful of really good tournaments. And I always play dumb, like, I'm just stupid. And I don't know what I'm doing. And they always buy it. And the bottom line is I'm pretty good. I mean, I'm okay. I mean, I'm okay.
37:40🔗DrewNo, no, really good, really good. And when you watched the game, it was pretty amazing. And I saw the one where you, I think Paul Rudd was sitting across from you.
37:48🔗AdamBecause I was on tilt, because I played again right before that really badly. And I was so mad at myself that I stayed in on a hand I shouldn't have.
38:23🔗DrewAll right We'll start with a necrophilia call after the break. The phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. We're also going to talk about marriage, right? You had questions about marriage?
38:30🔗DrewI wonder how you went from making out with a poker pro to being engaged, but whatever. This is Dr. Drew. Adam is away this week and in his shoes.
38:38🔗DrewThe great Nicole Sullivan. Exactly. The sensitivity, the erudite nature, what we're discussing here. Take the insight into the female. That's Adam.
39:05🔗DrewNicole Sullivan joins us on Loveline 1-800-LOVE-191. Her new show is called Hot Properties. October 7th it debuts. It's 930 Fridays. ABC can also catch her on King of Queens. And, of course, MADtv where if I had to list all... What was your favorite character in MADtv? Lucy Ball?
39:24🔗AdamOh, I love doing Lucy Ball. Yeah. You know, just mostly because like, you know, just I have... I'm an over actor like she is. I'm just a huge bad actress. But I have to say my favorite character was Antonia, which is... I mean, not a lot of people know it, but like this character that talked like this. Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes. Hello, Titi. Hello, you today. And that was really just the voice I did when I talked to my kitty cat, whose name was Titi. Hello. And it became a character.
39:52🔗DrewWould you sit around and sort of work stuff out as a group or would you sit with writers and sort of, where you do write them yourselves or how would that work?
39:59🔗AdamYou know, the Vancom Lady, which is the one that I did the most. Yeah. Hi, how are you today? Nice. You know, that weird woman I did for my audition. And that's just based on like a really mean woman in Skokie, Illinois. Right. And that one was the most popular and I love doing her. But that one I came up with myself and then, you know, Antonia came up with myself. And then there's also like Darlene McBride, which is this really mean, southern, like red state, like I love guns and Republicans.
40:28🔗AdamAnd that was all the writers, Tigger and Lumiere. Like, so there's a lot of stuff I did that was just there. It's like, I wish I could take credit for a lot of the stuff.
40:34🔗DrewDon't you sing something as her? Is there a song?
40:37🔗AdamYeah, there's a lot of songs. It's like, take your butt back to Mexico, adios and that's that. Yeah, it's all racist. Whenever there's a racist character, it's me.
40:53🔗AdamYou know, we really, I mean, listen, it's not the cast of Friends. It's not like me and Courtney are hanging out buying homes together. But me and Mike McDonald are very close, like really close. And me and Mo Collins and Alex Borstein and Will Sasso and I went to his birthday party. And yeah, we're actually it's a really good family.
41:15🔗AdamYeah. I mean, Stephanie and I sort of like we sort of were only overlapped like a year and a half. So we never got that close. I was sort of on my way out as she came in. But Stephanie Weir is so talented. Like she's genius.
41:27🔗DrewAll of you. All of you are sort of genius leveled.
41:49🔗CallerWell, I borrowed my buddy's laptop a few days ago and I was just going through some of his files and I found some movies of people having sex with corpses, dead people. And to tell you the truth, it really freaks me out. I never thought that he'd be into that kind of thing. All right.
42:14🔗CallerWell, I'm wondering, well, his mom passed away when he was a freshman in high school, when we were both freshmen in high school. I wonder if there might be something wrong with him. I mean, his dad was a pediatric homicide cop in Anaheim for about 50 years.
42:30🔗DrewOh, interesting. My thinking on that would be more, I know very little about necrophilia or having people aroused by seeing dead people and stuff. Are you finding it more and more? Yes, I am. Okay. And Nicole, we were wondering if you were going to bogus call or not, because on our screen here it says, should I confront him? And I said, Nicole, if you had heard this story, you'd only be interested in what the hell's wrong with your friend. And that's what you're concerned with. And the fact that his father may have had pictures of dead people and stuff, and I had another nurse I worked with whose father was in homicide. He used to keep his homicide books at that home. And if you see those kinds of horrifying things as a child, the amazing thing about the human is things that terrorize you when your kid become sources of attraction in young adulthood. And so it's possible he saw a bunch of stuff, even just pictures. And maybe that's sort of the source of the arousal now.
43:18🔗AdamI mean, can I ask a question? If you know him personally, does he also get off on... Does he also look at porn of like regular stuff? Or does he like looking at the Maxim or the Stuff magazines?
43:33🔗CallerWell, he has a subscription to FHM for him magazine. And he and I have sort of, you know, chill, have a couple of drinks and everything and just download porn off the internet. Mostly like anime, just stuff to laugh at. But the thing I...
43:49🔗AdamWell, I can't believe you guys are, I can't believe you guys are single.
43:52🔗DrewGo ahead. Porn is serious business, John. I wouldn't even laugh at it. How dare you? I'm going to report to Mr. Corolla when he returns.
43:59🔗CallerWell, I'll call back. Talk to him as well. Thing is, is both he and I do have girlfriends. I've been going out with my girlfriend for about four and a half years. He started up a relationship about two years ago. The thing that kind of concerned me about it was he has seen photos from when his dad was a police officer because he considered being a crime scene investigator and his dad really didn't want him getting into that field. So his dad sort of tried to show him the horrifying aspects and showed him a couple of photos of the most disturbing things to turn him off to the idea of it.
44:37🔗DrewWell, isn't it interesting how it turned him on in a different way? And yeah, listen, you're sort of going down the right path with this, John. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's a part of a bigger issue here. But it all kind of fits together for me.
44:48🔗AdamAnd, you know, it sounds like it'll work itself out. Like I doubt that he's going to go f a dead body.
44:56🔗AdamIt sounds like he's got a weird sort of fascination with something because of his dad.
44:59🔗DrewCorrect. I think that's exactly what it is. And if he's able to have normal relationships and they're stable, he's not using a lot of drugs and alcohol or feeling seeming depressed or overwhelmed in some other way or chaos in his life. I let it go. I'm sure when you guys are having beer someday, this will come up anyway.
45:14🔗AdamI just mentioned to him like, dude, it's kind of gross and I think he's probably a little obsessed. I watch a lot of Dateline in 48 Hours. I watch a lot of dead body stuff myself.
45:24🔗DrewBut this stuff though, the stuff that these forensic guys have is just unbelievable. And you see that as a kid and it kind of tweaks your chemistry a little bit and it can take a while to work out.
45:33🔗AdamMaybe he shouldn't make him feel like he's weird?
45:35🔗DrewI just let it go, but I'm sure it will come up over a beer someday. And I wouldn't make him feel bad about it. To say, you know, do you have a problem with this? You okay? You need help. And otherwise, if it's just something that's isolated and not part of a bigger issue, I'd let it go.
45:51🔗AdamIf he doesn't seem upset, just laugh about it and say, like, move on, dude.
45:54🔗DrewYeah, if you can't let it go. It's kind of weird though, I must admit. So Nicole, we gotta go on another break. And it's come fast, the show's going fast.
46:01🔗AdamIt's, this is what upsets me about the show. It's like, I just, when I get really into it, you guys are like, break, break, break.
46:05🔗DrewI know, we do the 20 and 40 and 54. And so here we are at 54. And we're gonna do a lot more. We got a bunch of questions from Nicole on the board here. We still have to talk about marriage. We've talked about poker, but I'd like a few tips on that too. And again, the great Nicole Sullivan is here.
46:23🔗DrewDear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear. That would be Nicole the Great.
46:26🔗AdamI'm gonna make Dr. Drew, actually I've made Adam disappear already. That's the whole point.
46:29🔗DrewAnd it's been way too long since we've had her up here. The new show is ABC, 930 Fridays, Hot Properties. And we'll return with more after this.
46:50🔗CallerIf you need help, call Loveline. 1-800-LOVE-191.
47:03🔗DrewLoveline, 1-800-LOVE-191, I'm Dr. Drew. He's Adam Carolla, and he's away this week. And in his...
47:20🔗DrewShe died auspiciously. Catherine, that is. Speaking of these kinds of things. And we got a bunch of calls from Nicole. The phone number again, 1-800-LOVE-191. Again, you know, Nicole from Mad TV.
48:19🔗My question for you, Nicole, is who was your favorite cast member of all time?
48:26🔗AdamYou know, I've got, as far as talent wise, it's, it's, there's so many. David Herman was amazing. Will Sasso, Alex Borstein. But my favorite cast member, I worked with, it's a tie. Brian Callan from, you know, if you're an old school Matt TV fan, it's Brian Callan from the first two years. And Michael McDonald is my favorite person. He and I are so close and he's my favorite cast member I ever worked with.
48:51🔗DrewHow about ladies? Amongst the ladies, can you pick?
48:55🔗DrewCause you're sort of, we're sort of putting us out because we're saying, yeah, so probably some people are better friends, but some people you have more sort of envy of their skill or something.
49:03🔗AdamI mean, Alex, it's between Alex Borstein and Mo Collins and, um, I think they're a crazy good actress. She's an M. Mo Collins is amazing. I have to say my favorite character, my favorite characters like watching like a fan is Stuart. I love Michael McDonald, Stuart. And I love, um, you know, Ms. Swan. So I have to say Alex Borstein because her Ms. Swan character cracks me up.
49:45🔗DrewOh my God. All right. Let's see what we've got here. This is, uh, has been on the hole. Here's Ben has been on hold for 82 minutes. Ben, what's going on?
49:56🔗Um, I've been dating my girlfriend for a year and, uh, still, like, even if there's like, like we'll be going on the street or something, and I'll be like, just like a remotely good looking girl or something. And even if my head like turns that way, I'll get, uh, yelled at for hours, even if I'm not even looking towards there, just because she thinks I'm checking everybody out.
50:17🔗DrewThere's something that testosterone does to the male brain that puts them sort of on alert and scanning all the time. And it's almost, uh, you have to willfully restrain yourself from that. Because you will automatically do that. And if it really bothers your girlfriend that much, why don't you kind of see if you can get it to control?
50:54🔗AdamYeah, I mean, she's 17. You just can't, like, once they get older, you can sort of explain it away and go, like, no, I love you more. But at 17, she's not going to hear that.
51:12🔗DrewYou don't want them to lie. You don't want them to go, ew. You just want them to stay diligently not look. Yeah.
51:17🔗AdamI mean, 17-year-old ego for a girl is so fragile. They think they're fat and ugly and pimply every minute of the day, even if they're not.
51:26🔗DrewIs that something that other females do to them?
51:30🔗AdamOh, absolutely. I mean, girls at 17, girls dress for girls. They wear clothing for other girls. They wear their hair for other girls. They give BJs for boys. That's what we do for boys. We dress and act to outcompete other girls. So you looking at another girl means her entire day of looking at her hair was ruined. It was for nothing.
51:57🔗AdamEven if you're not attracted to the other girl, it means her day of brushing her hair the right way and doing everything right was for nothing. So you just got to actively look the other way. Wow.
52:08🔗DrewWomen are so interesting. This is Emily 17.
52:59🔗Did you report it? No. I know I have like five more years, but I don't want to lose the relationship I have with my friends. So it's kind of a little bulwama I'm in.
53:10🔗AdamBut you don't go over to their house anymore, I assume, right?
53:14🔗I don't see the dad. Like the last time I saw him was New Year's, I think.
53:20🔗DrewAnd you know, not to be along with him and not to be around perpetrator like that. But here's the deal. The fact that you had been so badly victimized by this guy and then didn't report it, suggest that victimization is something you've gotten used to maybe earlier in your life.
53:34🔗CallerUm, I don't know. There's nothing really, I don't know. I've been tormented and abused like my entire life.
53:43🔗DrewThat's what I'm talking about. I'm not saying you necessarily were sexually abused.
53:50🔗DrewYeah, that's tough, Emily. This is, it's going to be an unhappy existence if you don't make some changes.
53:56🔗AdamEmily, you know you're not in a good space, right?
53:59🔗CallerNo, I know. I'm like getting better. My life has changed. It's turned around for the better.
54:06🔗DrewWhat's your question tonight? You need some work, that's for sure.
54:09🔗CallerWell, I've kind of, since then, I've kind of been overly sexually active.
54:17🔗AdamOf course. Yeah, you're looking for approval in a way that you didn't get with the guys who raped you.
54:23🔗DrewWell, it, what tends to happen is, strangely enough, after a rape, women oftentimes will compulsively act out sexually. It's almost hard to explain rationally because it's sort of reenacting the trauma over and over again to try to get control over it or something. I think to even talk rationally about it almost defies the fact that it just happens. Also, with the abuse and what, how did you describe your childhood? Your, how did you describe it?
54:56🔗DrewTorment. Torment and abuse. Very poetic, Emily, but the fact is, after having been through that kind of a childhood, you're gonna use whatever means you have available to make yourself feel better. And the things that are offered young people are primarily things like drugs and alcohol, sex, extreme sports, you know, loud music, things that sort of give you some release, do feel good, do work for you, but end up ultimately ultimately making you feel worse or having more serious consequences like addiction.
55:24🔗CallerYeah, because I have tabled with drugs and I'm sure I'm sure.
55:31🔗AdamI mean, you know, every 17 year old dabbles. Here's the thing, Emily, you need to know, and you do know this, you're different. Like you've been screwed up. So you are officially different than other people. The thing that you need to do is take control of that and not allow that, like not allowed to go down that path that you've heard on this show. You've you've you've listened to this show, right? A million times, Loveline? Yeah. You've listened to every f'ed up girl going, and then I married at 19 and then I was raped seven more. You need to stop your own cycle. I mean, the problem is no one's in charge of you but you. So you're you're you're totally screwed up. You've been f'ed up. Now you need to stop it and start dealing the best you can. The number one way to do that is stop. Do not sleep with other people at this point. Just don't. It's you know you feel stupid and gross afterwards, right? It's not worth it.
56:27🔗CallerI like, I don't know. Six months afterwards, I was totally unable to feel fulfilled, happy in any sort of way. But I don't know. I kind of overcame that after, I don't know, maybe a year.
56:44🔗AdamAll right. See, this is why you're the doctor. Go, go, go, go, go, Dr. Drew.
56:47🔗DrewNo, but here's the bottom line, that this is only gonna, you're saying that what you're doing works for you. And believe me, all my heroin addicts tell me that the heroin worked for them for a while. So what I'm telling you is that this is going to, this house of cards is not a very effective way to deal with the torment and abuse as you say it. I'll just give you some basic advice. Other than giving again a glib response about going to get more therapy, how about you find a group of friends who genuinely care about Emily. I mean that sounds kind of glib and ridiculous too.
57:15🔗AdamNo, no, that actually doesn't because that's doable.
57:18🔗DrewRight, find people who are just, you can just hang out with and just share a part of yourself with and feel safe and secure and focus on that and not socializing and not guys and not parties and just focus on hanging out and having a conversation with people who pay attention and appreciate you.
57:33🔗AdamAnd you don't, if I may say, and Dr. Drew may correct me, you don't vomit up all your issues to them. Like you don't show up to the first lunch with them and vomit up like, oh my God, I've been raped. Just you don't vomit up all your issues. Just like sort of piecemeal it, like give it, you know, trust someone. You don't wear it on your sleeve. Like people don't need to know everything. You keep some of that for the right people to tell.
57:56🔗DrewAnd slowly. So again, just get a connection going with people.
58:08🔗DrewAnd she just goes, I have two words for you. Just take it out and incorporate it in your life. And are you ready for the words now? Stop it. Stop it.
58:14🔗AdamJust stop it. Yeah, Emily, stop sleeping with people. Honestly, just if you do nothing else, don't sleep with dudes right now. Just take it easy. You've got your whole life to sleep with them. Whole life.
58:40🔗I mean, you're so hysterical on Matt TV. I mean, you're just the funniest person on there. How did you get your start? Did you do stand up comedy or?
58:50🔗AdamThanks very much. No, I actually didn't. I mean, I sort of took-
58:53🔗DrewStand up is a different discipline, isn't it?
58:55🔗AdamYeah, it's such a different, it's such a different, even improv.
58:58🔗DrewI think people are confused about comedy.
59:00🔗AdamYou know, I did, I mean, basically I was trained, I mean, I've been acting since I was a kid. Like, I was on Broadway at like seven or eight doing- I, you know, I did, I worked with Bette Midler. I did Bette Midler's tour. Wow, wow. And, you know, I was a, you know, a backup for Annie, the musical, like, you know, Pepper, you know, I don't know if anyone knows Pepper, from It's a Hard Knock Life. But I was a kid actor, so I've been doing it forever. And then I sort of quit, retired, if you will, at 12. And then joined again in college and went to college for it. And so mine is a very different, like I was very much like Chekhov, Shakespeare. I was very classically trained. And then I came to LA and sort of joined the circus, if you will. Now, if you're in LA and you want to become an actor, I definitely recommend, and you want to be a comedian, I definitely recommend going to classes, acting classes, groundlings.
59:49🔗AdamI was, I was not a groundling. I did honestly did none of that. I wore a miniskirt to my audition. That's the best I can say, is that I was a really good actor that sort of faked my way through being funny. That's the best I can say. I was not very funny at all and I sort of faked my way. But if you want to start...
1:00:25🔗CallerYeah, but people say I should do comedic, but I don't know about standing up in front of a crowded room, you know?
1:00:31🔗AdamYeah, I never did it. You don't need to do that to be an actor. You just need to get into a class and go to Groundlings or Theater Sports or Improv Olympic and take classes.
1:00:40🔗DrewHere's another question along the same line. Kent, 26.
1:00:54🔗CallerI was wondering, I love Family Guy and I actually do really enjoy Kim Pals. I think it's actually pretty clever. Do you prefer doing sketch work or do you prefer the challenge of trying to put everything through your voice and not having to put on all sorts of makeup and stuff?
1:01:18🔗AdamThat's my Viancé. I have to say, obviously, I prefer acting to doing voice work in some way. That's what I'm trained to do. But voice-wise, I don't have to take a shower, I don't have to brush my hair, and voice stuff is so fun, it's the best job in the world.
1:01:38🔗AdamIt's so easy, it's starting. You're paid to do the easiest thing in the world. Not that this is easy, Dr. Drew, this is different. You need your brain to do this job.
1:01:48🔗AdamBut to do cartoons, it's really easy and fun. I love both. I know that's the lamest answer ever, Kent. Sorry.
1:01:55🔗DrewYou were going to make a distinction between sketch and improv?
1:02:00🔗AdamImprov is ridiculously hard to me. I'm not a good improviser. Like I can hold my own. Like I can. I'm just not that funny. I'm just really I'm not a funny person. I'm entertaining.
1:02:12🔗AdamAnd when I'm when I can tell a joke when it's written for me. But like unlike as we were talking about, Adam Corolla is by far in the years, you know, 13 years I've worked here, the quickest comedian I've ever worked with, like the fast him and Artie Lang. I have to say, like the fastest guys I've ever worked with. And that's a skill that I do not own. That is so unto itself. Like it's such a skill. Like I don't have that. So I'm not an improviser. Adam is I'm a good actor. Like I act well and I can do tell a joke. But it's two different jobs.
1:02:46🔗DrewInteresting. All right. So you pick another call. Virgins, anal sex, What's your fiancee one? The al-sex one? Okay. He wants the anal sex one. Okay.
1:03:08🔗CallerHere's my question. I've been with my girlfriend for about eight months now. And we decided to take the extra step. And I was like, hey, why don't we do this? And she said, okay.
1:03:20🔗DrewSo let me reinterpret that story. JR was just pounding on her for months about this. And finally, she went, all right, all right. We decided to take the extra step.
1:03:29🔗AdamWell, can you say the word? Can you say, yeah, anal sex?
1:03:32🔗CallerOh, I just said, hey, can we do it the other way? And I was just trying to beat her on the bush and get her to say yes. And she finally did.
1:03:57🔗AdamWhat a romantic. You after in the butt and then passed out, aw.
1:04:01🔗CallerYeah, I'm a big sweetie. But well, I woke up in the morning, I kind of had a rash on my penis and I went to the doctor the next day and he told me that I had a yeast infection.
1:04:12🔗AdamI'm no doctor, but you can't get a yeast infection from the from the V-line, can you?
1:04:17🔗DrewYou can get it from just about anything. But did they do a scraping?
1:04:21🔗DrewThey did a scraping. Did you see a dermatologist? You saw a regular doctor?
1:04:24🔗CallerYeah, I went to a dermatologist. They referred me to a dermatologist.
1:04:26🔗DrewOkay. Well, that is a yeast infection. You probably, you probably.
1:04:30🔗CallerI don't know. Is that from, can I get that every time I do that or is that?
1:04:33🔗AdamIt was probably from before, right? It was probably from ething her the right way.
1:04:37🔗DrewIt probably was before and probably just the irritation of all you were doing just got it more inflamed and more noticeable too. I bet you.
1:05:26🔗CallerYou just went for a yeast infection test and...
1:05:28🔗DrewNo, I know. It's just, it's your scan.
1:05:30🔗AdamIt's not a test, it's relaxed. It's just a yeast infection.
1:05:32🔗DrewI'm just curious, is it something... It happens all the time, JR That whole maneuver you did, is it something she was appreciative of or she didn't like so much?
1:05:42🔗CallerWas kind of in pain for a couple of days, but we were okay.
1:05:46🔗DrewOh, yeah. We were at Sir Walter Raleigh. The guy's awesome. My point has been, that's a part of the body that particularly women have trouble with like in their 70s and 80s. Stuff starts happening, it doesn't hold tightly any longer.
1:06:01🔗AdamYou're saying someone at 21 can mess up what happens in their 70s?
1:06:06🔗DrewYeah, that's what I'm saying. You can get, they're already at risk for things like prolapse. I mean, the rectum can fall out and it can rip.
1:06:15🔗CallerWhat I say, what I say, what I say, I got feelings for you. Can I prolapse your anus?
1:06:22🔗AdamSo it can entirely disintegrate for lack of a better word.
1:06:25🔗DrewIt just tends to already, you get hemorrhoids, you get fissuring, you get peri-renal abscesses, and you get prolapse, and prolapse is not a pretty thing when that happens.
1:06:33🔗AdamSo you're saying unless it's something you need to do, shy away.
1:06:36🔗DrewUnless you're really into, here's JR coercing, you know, beating his woman into submission, so she'll try this thing. She's in pain for days afterwards.
1:06:47🔗AdamLet's say there's been girls that have done it like a couple times, like are they, are they screwed? Cause you know, I always quote you with the ecstasy and I always say like, if you've done it X amount of times, you're a subject.
1:06:57🔗AdamNo, you can't say that. You can't say that about anal sex. You don't know.
1:07:00🔗DrewAnd clearly there's some people for whom this doesn't hurt. So I imagine it's probably not as problematic. I mean, your body tells you when you're doing something harmful to it, you keep pain. And some people really, really like this. Some women are just into it.
1:07:12🔗DrewAnd whatever, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying, you know, if you're doing something that hurts and you've been had to coerce her into it and she was in pain for two days and had to take six baths four times. I mean, come on. What are we talking about here?
1:07:57🔗DrewWell, let's take a little break. Let's do that. It's time for break. Nicole Sullivan is filling the immense shoes of Mr. Corolla. And they feel snug. They fit quite nicely.
1:08:18🔗DrewHot Properties. October 7th, ABC, 9.34. As you can catch him tonight on Comedy Central, he follows The Daily Show. Mad TV. Nicole was it was six seasons.
1:10:18🔗AdamI was, I mean, I'm glad it landed, when I went to my dry cleaners, it looked like it landed when I was watching Santa and my dry cleaners, but I was, I was like, in my head, I was like, oh, they're all dying.
1:10:30🔗AdamI was like, oh, they're all dead. They're dying in a fiery, fiery death.
1:10:33🔗DrewI got to tell you, I had a very strange experience. The sonic boom, it's a double boom. People that don't live in Southern California don't know it lands here in Southern California because it comes in, it gives a double boom that is so loud, it's bizarre. It sounds like a bomb going off.
1:10:48🔗DrewWell, different parts of the city heard it differently, but I was in an area where the house shook and my dogs freaked out. I was awake and I thought it's an earthquake and then I immediately thought it's a damn space shuttle and I thought that must mean they're landing. Thank God they're fine. I instantly went, that must be a good thing.
1:11:04🔗AdamIf I was a wife of one of the guy or husband of one of the people, because this time it was a woman commander, if I was whatever, I would honestly take a pill. The minute they left, I would take a pill like Sleeping Beauty or something. I would like, knock me out for two weeks. I do not want to be awake until they come home, because I would be nauseous and vomiting every day. A small piece of tile came off.
1:11:30🔗DrewWe're pulling a cloth off the tile today.
1:11:32🔗AdamYeah, we did a 360 degree rotation and we decided nothing. I'd be like, yeah, right. They're going to die a fiery death.
1:11:40🔗DrewI know. All you would need is the tiniest little millimeter of heat to get through and melt everything. Let's go on to something else. This is Crystalis23.
1:12:33🔗DrewWell, that doesn't help the sexual functioning anyway. So that's one thing that for, I know people are arguing about that. For the most part, it works against.
1:12:39🔗AdamBut for the most part, okay, so have you never masturbated?
1:12:44🔗CallerI have. The problem is, is I can get all the way up, all the way up to where I feel like I'm going to have an orgasm, and then it just goes away. I just cannot.
1:12:53🔗DrewBy the way, there's again, also in the male, there's no version of that where it's like, oh, almost, oh, no, no, no. There's no male version of that.
1:13:02🔗AdamThere's no male version of that? I know what she's talking about. I mean, I've been through that experience, but I also-
1:13:21🔗CallerYeah, pretty much every single time.
1:13:23🔗DrewDoes he understand what he's doing? Can you direct him in ways that are optimal for you?
1:13:28🔗CallerYeah, yeah, he does a good job. It's just like I said, you know, I can get all the way up there, and most of the time, it's hard for me to become aroused. It's very difficult for me to become aroused, and once I do become aroused, it takes a very, very long time for me to start feeling the sensation.
1:13:46🔗AdamOkay, let me ask a question, Crystal. I mean, seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. Do you watch porn at all?
1:14:06🔗DrewDoesn't have to have a story with it or anything?
1:14:08🔗AdamI mean, for women, it's like, honestly, watching porn is hilarious because you're like, they would never do that. Like it's hard, you have to sort of erase your intelligence from porn because it's ridiculous.
1:14:18🔗DrewAnd the guy's thinking, why isn't it ever like that?
1:14:21🔗AdamBut I say a little bit of wine and some porn and like just try to get into whatever's going on.
1:14:26🔗CallerYeah. So do I, the question I'm asking then is, is it physical? Is it something? Am I lacking testosterone? Is there something?
1:14:38🔗CallerNo, just birth control. Of course, I know that has a little bit to do with it.
1:14:43🔗DrewThe birth control could be a lot of the problem. The progesterone for most women, the progesterone component of the pill can kind of shut you down. For other women, it's the estrogen. It actually changes the level of sex hormone binding globulin. So it could be the birth control, but you might want to change some of that, the dosing or the type of pill you're using. And then beyond that, it's exploration, maybe technology. Nicole, help her.
1:15:07🔗AdamHonestly, I think it's in your head, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Like you're stopping yourself, because I don't mean it as punishment. I mean, you've got to make yourself go to a different place. So wherever your head's been going, where you're trying to come, you have to go to a different place. Whether that means fantasy or porn or getting drunk or whatever. I'm serious.
1:15:30🔗DrewOr relaxing or feeling into the feelings.
1:15:31🔗AdamWhatever you need to do or imagining certain body, whatever you need to do, you just need to change your mindset, because clearly the way you've been doing it hasn't been working. But you're able to do it. I guarantee it, at some point you can.
1:15:43🔗DrewNow, so this recent study showed that it is in fact genetics that determine whether women can have orgasm with just oral sex or with intercourse or be multi-orgasmic. And the multi-orgasmic women will have multiple, like 20 or 30 or 50 in a row with no refractoriness. What is refractoriness? They will just have one after the other, after the other, after the other, just that quickly, pow, pow, pow, pow, until they fatigue. That's a particular genetic makeup. And when you talk to those women that have that experience, and that's always during intercourse, those women tend not to like oral sex.
1:16:13🔗DrewThey tend not to like oral sex. And those women, when they hear their peers talking about how difficult it is for them to have orgasm with intercourse, you talk to them and they'll say, well, my friends, are they lying? Or they just don't understand what they're doing. They haven't figured it out yet. When the reality is those are two genetic pools.
1:16:30🔗AdamSee, I always think that women say that I had like seven orgasms when having intercourse. I was like, yeah, right.
1:16:35🔗DrewNo, that's something people can do. Some people have 50. And some people, there's sort of multiple. Yeah, there's sort of the multiple, multiple group. Yeah, multiple, multiple. And then there's people that have sort of a couple sequentially, usually with intercourse. And they're those that can have orgasm with intercourse. Most of the time. And they're those that can have orgasm with intercourse like never. Which is about 50% of women. Most women only have it with some sort of direct stimulation like oral sex. Does that make sense? Does it fit with your experience?
1:17:17🔗AdamThe crunchy and the, I have multiple, but it's- Sequential. I have multiple, but it's sort of mixed. Like it's sometimes sex, sometimes intercourse, sometimes the other.
1:17:28🔗DrewThat you're sort of in that middle category, right?
1:17:33🔗DrewThat's a middle category. That's sort of, you can have multiple sequentially, but you wouldn't have one for the moment, things started until you fatigued.
1:18:04🔗CallerWhen my boyfriend and I got together, we were both doing ecstasy quite regularly. And I was wondering what the long-term effects of that are as far as libido. Does that permanently affect your sex drive?
1:18:19🔗DrewI have seen cases where it does and where there is like horrible shutdown. For the most part, that's not the case. For the most part, it sort of drops commensurate with the degree of depression that you're left with after the drug goes out of your system.
1:18:34🔗AdamDr. Drew, how many times do you say, cause this is what I always quote my friends, how many times do you say taking ecstasy until you're almost guaranteed to have some level of depression?
1:18:41🔗DrewIf you've had 20 or more hits of ecstasy, I put you in the sort of risk category.
1:19:01🔗AdamBecause it goes right to the serotonin.
1:19:03🔗DrewYeah, cause it actually, we begin to understand, since you and I last talked, we've begun to understand how it happens. It actually, you know how brain cells use neurochemicals to communicate with one another? And they're like norepinephrine and epinephrine and dopamine and serotonin. And these chemicals are held in little vesicles at the tips of the brain cells and they're released, these little sort of bubbles are released into the space between the cells and they diffuse across and then cause a reaction in the adjacent cell. These vesicles tend to stop working when you use a lot of ecstasy or amphetamine. And the vesicle sort of doesn't function normally, it leaks, it doesn't form properly. So the chemical, the dopamine of the serotonin gets free inside the cell. It's not supposed to be there. It's supposed to be packaged. And free inside the cell, it forms the actual brain chemical itself, turns into a free radical and destroys the cell. So it's actually your own brain chemistry. It's not the direct effect of the amphetamine. That's what the current research suggests.
1:19:59🔗AdamLike a white blood cell would attack its own...
1:20:02🔗DrewIt's more, that's a way of thinking about it. It's more, that the chemicals get loose in the cell, and then it loose in the cell, they convert into something else that's highly destructive.
1:20:40🔗CallerI was in a severely abusive relationship.
1:20:44🔗DrewI think you better tell your doctor about the ecstasy and or see a doctor who's used to dealing with this. Cause let me tell you the syndrome that I typically see with ecstasy. Somebody's going out all the time, doing ecstasy all the time, do it, do it, do it. Then all of a sudden they don't want to go out so much. And then all of a sudden they're kind of isolating. And then all of a sudden they're getting kind of anxious and preoccupied. And then all of a sudden they get panic attacks when they go outside. And then all of a sudden they get profoundly depressed. That's the syndrome. And that depression is often lifelong. Not as severe as when it first comes on, but often needs long term management.
1:21:16🔗AdamIs that you Angela? Did you describe you?
1:21:18🔗CallerThat sounds like both of us. But the thing is a lot of the medication does cause like Zoloft or the Prozac. It does cause a lower libido.
1:21:28🔗DrewAbsolutely. So you want to, if possible, a good drug for this is called the Serizone because it's not even, it's a direct, we call it direct agonist, not a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. So Serizone is less likely to cause the sexual dysfunction, Remeron and Welbutrin. Again, Welbutrin is another good one.
1:21:45🔗AdamI've been on Welbutrin for about six years. And honestly, as far as I can tell, no honey.
1:21:51🔗DrewNo sexual side effects. In fact, some people get an enhancement with Welbutrin.
1:22:04🔗DrewYou came from a family of origin with a very interesting, very rich and colorful history, heritage.
1:22:08🔗AdamVery colorful, you know, everyone's a good person in my family, but just a lot of, you know, no one hit anyone. No one, you know, just my parents didn't get along and there was some cheating and a lot of stress.
1:22:29🔗AdamAnd so, you know, my sister and I both sort of battle it. And, you know, at 21, I realized it. Like I remember going to a psychiatrist and I was so depressed, but you know, I didn't know what it was. And I remember looking in the office and there was a People magazine about, shoot, I forget who it was, but some actor who was like battling depression. And I, of course, I'm like, oh my God. And I opened it and read it and said the signs of depression, you only want to hear about other people who are depressed. And the only thing you want to read is about other people being depressed. And I remember running up to that People magazine and opening it. I was like, oh, that's clearly me. And I've tried to go off antidepressants three different times and all three times, not so much.
1:23:07🔗DrewSomewhere between 50 and maybe 60 or 70 percent of people who need antidepressants will have recurrences. So there's a school of thought generally that all things been equal to longer term management is probably the way to go.
1:23:18🔗AdamYeah. I mean, I've given I would love to not be on it. Like I certainly, you know, but at the same time, I'm not ashamed to be on them. And I know that I've tried three different times and it doesn't work for the sake of educating people.
1:23:28🔗DrewHow did it manifest in you, the depression?
1:23:30🔗AdamHonestly, I thought about killing myself every second of the day.
1:23:34🔗DrewWhat would other people have noticed about you? Were you irritable or snippy or laid-by?
1:23:39🔗AdamJust, no, just like to myself and everything, everything was huge. Everything was unmanageable. Like laundry was unmanageable. A simple problem at the office, like I was working in an office at the time, a simple problem with a coworker was unmanageable.
1:23:55🔗DrewThe two classic experiences of depression, feeling overwhelmed.
1:24:02🔗DrewAnd suicidal is a good clue there. But sometimes you may not have that.
1:24:06🔗AdamBut not like not wanting to kill myself. Just everything was like, forget it. That's the best way I can describe it. Like I would say, I just killed myself. But everything was, nevermind. Nevermind.
1:24:15🔗DrewForget it. When I treat drug addicts and alcoholics, I call it the F-its. The F-its?
1:24:23🔗DrewYeah. And that's when alcoholics addicts relapse. When they get that. And that's usually depression. So here we go. We're going to take another break. It's an interesting show tonight. I hope you all enjoy it. I certainly am because the great Nicole Sullivan, Nicky the Great, Nicky the Great. We decide to get it cool. They get it cool. Has joined us tonight. You know her from MADD TV. You will know her in the fall, October 7th on Hot Properties, ABC 930 Fridays. And we've got Brittany. Nicole's pointing anxiously at Brittany's call. I love it. Why don't you read it? Yeah.
1:24:50🔗AdamWants to have a lesbian experience, but her family won't approve. What do you it sounds like a bad penthouse.
1:24:55🔗DrewWhat? It's like a team beat. What to do? What to do?
1:25:22🔗DrewIt's Loveline, Nicole Sullivan. Again, I'll remind those of you listening in the East, Discovery Health Channel, Midnight, Strictly Sex. Please tune in. It's an interesting show this week. And Nicole, Hot Property. No, I wish that were true. Nicole, Hot Property is October 7th, Fridays, 9.30 AEBC. And you know her from MADtv. And we are going to know Brittany, who's 17.
1:25:48🔗Nicole SullivanWell, I think, I don't know, I have a really good friend, and I think that I like her more, and I want to like have a relationship with her.
1:25:56🔗DrewDo you like like like, or do you like like?
1:25:59🔗Nicole SullivanShut up. No, yeah, I think I really like her like sexually, and I want to have a relationship with her, but my parents, my dad's a pastor, and really strict religious family.
1:26:09🔗DrewDid they, do you feel that he was abusive to you? I mean, is there any kind of payback in this?
1:26:17🔗Nicole SullivanThat's what I'm trying to figure out, because pastor kids always rebel and stuff, and I don't want to hurt her, and just do this because I want to piss him off, but I think that I really like her.
1:26:28🔗AdamIt doesn't sound to me like he did anything to her. It sounds like she's a legitimate cute little lesbian, which I think is awesome.
1:26:40🔗DrewBut the one thing that troubles me is that she is so concerned about her family in the sense that she's going to make sure they find out. And if you really were just concerned and weren't rebelling and weren't giving any payback, you do it secretly and that would be that. I understand you feel conflicted and bad about it because your family you know would disapprove, but you would even be more careful to hide it from them then.
1:27:02🔗Nicole SullivanWell, nobody knows right now. My friend doesn't even know. Like I haven't said anything to her. So that's a whole other story because I'm scared about that.
1:27:11🔗AdamBut I think she's going one step beyond what you're saying, which is like I could like fool around with my girlfriend and she's got like many steps to deal with, which is like A is my friend going to want to fool around me and then B, but I think she's realizing that this may be her lifestyle if for just now, it may be her lifestyle, which means her parents are going to find out.
1:27:33🔗DrewSo what is it you're looking for tonight? How can we help?
1:27:36🔗Nicole SullivanWell, I guess like I advise maybe to tell them because like, like they don't believe in like kissing before marriage. And they're just so incredibly strict about stuff like that.
1:27:45🔗AdamWhy are you going to tell them? Just kiss her.
1:27:47🔗Nicole SullivanWell, like we, I don't know, like when we are drunk, we have, but I don't know.
1:27:55🔗Nicole SullivanI don't know if it was just because she was drunk and not because like she really likes me.
1:27:58🔗AdamWorry about, worry about her. Don't worry about your dad. Your dad's not going to know. We, everyone hides stuff from you. You always hide kissing from your dad. Your dad doesn't want to know you kiss. No dad wants to know you kiss anybody right now. Just worry about like whether or not you like her and she likes you or no Dr. Drew's frowning.
1:28:13🔗DrewShoot, I'm wrong. I'm cringing as a dad just generally. Although I know every dad also much prefers this over what the guys would put her through. So it's like, the good news is.
1:28:25🔗AdamYou wouldn't want to know like your 17 year old's kissing someone randomly. You don't want to know that.
1:28:36🔗DrewI don't know. That's a mistake. That's a mistake to sort of put it out as that. Cause it's, how many other, how many other illegal acts do you just do? And it's no big deal.
1:28:45🔗AdamOnly, I honestly think drinking is it stand, drinking and smoking pot.
1:28:56🔗DrewBut, but the point is all those things you'd sort of try to kind of, you know, curtail, put it in to. And the thing about when you're on drugs, you're on drugs, you do things you wouldn't. People go, there's something I haven't heard as much of lately, but we used to hear all the time was, well, you know, I could let out my true feelings when I'm drunk, or my real feelings came out when I was on pot. No, no, you're on drugs. Your brain is working totally differently.
1:29:17🔗AdamYou act like an idiot on drugs, period.
1:29:18🔗DrewYou do things differently. You have different judgment, different experience because you are on drugs.
1:29:23🔗AdamHow about this, Brittany, because you already sort of got drunk and made out a couple of times. How about the next time, if you want to kiss her, you make sure neither of you have been drinking or anything else?
1:29:33🔗Nicole SullivanWell, last time I wasn't drinking and she was, but I don't know.
1:29:38🔗AdamI don't want to wear it out. How about next time neither of you are doing anything and then you test it out that way?
1:29:44🔗DrewRight. You're not going to wear it out. She's already made out with you, number one. Then number two, I really think you need to examine what you're up to here. You want a relationship with her?
1:29:53🔗Nicole SullivanWell, that's what I would want.
1:29:55🔗DrewThat's what you want. Do you believe you were a lesbian?
1:29:59🔗Nicole SullivanI think this is the only person I've ever been attracted to. I've never had a boyfriend, never been attracted to boys.
1:30:09🔗DrewI'm in. I'm in. I'm just trying to figure out how you manage this and still remain healthy and honest. At what point do you tell your family? I think the bottom line is that just my general advice is if you are homosexual, whether it's homosexual male or female, and you know your family is going to have a very negative response, the one thing you want to do is build a support network. Generally speaking, we tell people, make sure also your way at college or out of home or something. If by the way, you're dependent on them financially and you know they're going to withdraw financial support, you don't have to tell people until you finish the stuff. But again, make sure you have a network of peers around who've been through this and who can support you when the S hits the fan. Let's take this quick one from Jacqueline, who's 21, Jacqueline.
1:30:58🔗Nicole SullivanGreat. I had a question. My boyfriend actually went into the doctor a few weeks ago and because he was complaining of a circular problem, he's actually a little bit larger than usual.
1:31:15🔗Nicole SullivanYeah, and they told him he had an E coli infection.
1:31:19🔗DrewRight, we had some called, that's called Epididymitis, very common, very common.
1:31:24🔗Nicole SullivanOh, it's very common? Okay, because you couldn't really explain it to me and I'm just like, well, what is it?
1:31:29🔗DrewIt's Epididymitis, it's an inflammation and sometimes an infection of the Epididymis, which is sort of a processing plant that sits on top of the testy. Bacteria tracks down there.
1:31:38🔗AdamRight now Dr. Drew is using his hands, he just can't see it.
1:31:40🔗DrewI'll show you a picture, I'm going to show Nicole a picture, it's so gross.
1:31:43🔗AdamHe's literally making balls with his hands.
1:31:45🔗DrewI was, I'm going to show you a picture, literally showing you pictures. Literally.
1:31:52🔗DrewNo, it's on top of the testicle, I'm going to show Nicole here.
1:31:56🔗AdamI'm going to watch on behalf of you Jacqueline.
1:31:57🔗DrewThe Epididymis is this thing sitting on top here, is that a bundle of noodles up there? This is an Epididymis here, see this crazy thing? Things can track down from the urethra and stuff that gets in the urethra are things that are around the urogenital tract, things that cause urine infections, things that are around the anus and like UTIs. Yeah, and E coli is a common cause of urinary tract infection, it's a common bacteria in that area. And then kind of track on up, it tracks up here, where are we? Tracks up here.
1:32:23🔗Nicole SullivanJacqueline, I'm watching this for you. You've been doing that, right?
1:32:47🔗DrewNicole, we got to take another break. Nikki the cool will be back in just a moment. What's so funny over there? Anderson? I was being racist. Well, surprise. How do we sound, Anderson? You guys sounded great. I loved it. I loved the vagina monologues compared to Adam's penis monologues. It's nice, isn't it? Very nice. Yeah. Nikki The Cool, Nicole Sullivan from MAD-TV. Her new show Hot Properties debuts October 7th at 7.30. Beg your pardon, 9.30 Fridays, ABC. So you're still on King of Queens?
1:34:10🔗AdamAnd just so everyone knows, I had listened to the show just like everyone else and I'm an old fart. And it's so important to listen to Dr. Drew because he's the smartest guy ever.
1:34:19🔗DrewVery kind. My old fart fans, it's great. All right, Nicole, thank you very much. And again, Adam's coming back probably on next week for the end of the week. We have Phyllan Gaskard, Jimmy Kimmel coming on later in the week.
1:34:32🔗AdamOkay, they're the cutest, funniest couple ever.
1:34:35🔗DrewYeah, so that'll be a great show too. So thanks, Nicole, for joining us. And in the meantime, this is Dr. Drew on behalf of Adam Corolla saying mahalo.
1:34:42🔗AdamYou after in the butt and then passed out.
1:34:52🔗CallerThe opinions expressed on this show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors, or this station. The producer for Loveline is Anningold. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
