0:58🔗Love Line with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew. Hey, everybody.
1:02🔗AdamIt's the Best Of Loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That's Dr. Drew. Hopefully, neither one of us are here because it's the Best Of. And we're all winners when we do the Best Of. We get to stay home. For me, I get to stare at the TiVo and get drunk. For Drew, he gets to follow his kids around and live his life vicariously. From the eyes of three young, beautiful triplets. So, and you guys get the Best Of Loveline. So, without any further ado, here it is, Best Of Loveline.
2:19🔗AdamI like the morning DJ gets a little out of hand. I will drop trow, I will lube up my joint, I'll put it in your ear, and I will reach climax. 829.29. The homoerotic DJ that crosses the line every once in a while, he does it quickly and he gives a timeout every time, right when he gets to that point where he's going to get fired.
3:03🔗AdamIt's such a letdown. It's like that feeling that as the Super Bowl party is breaking up, it's really bad when it's a bad game and it's sort of over in the midway through the third quarter and it's like you already start to put you someone you see the chicks are busting the chips already like things are and it's like this is it.
3:21🔗Last year with Carolina with it as an expansion team it just doesn't even feel like a real Super Bowl.
3:28🔗AdamThat's another thing. Yeah, you want you want it to be, you know, Dallas Pittsburgh sort of thing. You don't want to be a couple of guys here. Oh, well, the guys were in the the fusion, the magenta, the teal guys in the cobalt. Yeah. And then the guy with just a black fist on their helmet. Yeah. That team screw whitey. Those guys like what? This looks like Canadians at best. Maybe Arena League stuff.
3:56🔗AdamWhat's with the teal? And here's what I'm sure they did. They talked to a bunch of retarded 15-year-olds and said, what's your favorite kind of teal? And they're like, all right, let's make every expansion team.
4:07🔗DrewWell, they're trying to do it like the NBA did basically. Make everything teal.
4:11🔗I heard a fashion, some fashion dude or something covering, they're doing a sports thing about uniforms, best and worst uniforms. And this guy stuck up for Jacksonville Jaguars uniforms, which are some of the ugliest. Right. They're ridiculous. And he said in 10, 15 years, we're going to look back and they're going to be classic.
4:26🔗AdamNo. Here's what I think you do, especially when you enter the league, when you're an expansion team, instead of going, hey, everyone, look at me, I'm new, I'm bold, I'm an arena team. You should go old school. You should do a sort of a Coltsy kind of thing, just two colors, white, and that way you sort of slip in under the radar. It's like, you know what it's like?
6:08🔗AdamYeah. It's a love line. We had a little technical difficulty. That's why we had to run a Best Of. Well, you know you're hurting when your Best Of stars Will Sasso.
6:24🔗AdamPhone number. Let's get the phone number out. We'll just start the show. 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. It is good to be back in studio tonight and we have a real celebrity in our ranks. Howie Mandel is here.
7:29🔗AdamWhatever. I'm usually drunk when I'm watching TV, I realize. And with the TiVo, I lose, you know, you don't identify the stations with the TiVo. It's just your show comes on next. You know what I'm saying?
7:41🔗DrewBy the way, the drunk thing is just an issue of probability.
7:44🔗DrewWhat's a probability? You're not drunk when you're watching TV. I mean, it's, you know, be fair.
7:47🔗AdamIt's a good point. Howie also is in a movie called The Aristocrats, which is out. Well, it's coming out. It's out in New York. It's coming out here on Friday in LA.
8:52🔗Howie MandelYeah, I can, but does it have to be closer to my mouth? Are they not hearing me? Here's what we'll do. We'll turn Adam down a little bit. Can we ask the audience to get closer to the radio?
9:15🔗Howie MandelBut he's not closer than I am to the mic.
9:17🔗AdamNo. All right, let's... They've turned me down. There we go. Let's not focus on this. Let's put this ugliness behind us. Yes, the aristocrats.
9:27🔗DrewTell the joke again, because it's worth telling, I think.
9:39🔗Howie MandelThe joke goes... The movie is based on this joke that has been in existence since Vaudeville that is told amongst comedians. And it's really very rarely, except in the movie, and there's been a few other times where it's told publicly or even being broadcast. And it's the actual art of telling a joke. And the telling of the joke is what's fun.
10:05🔗DrewThe point is the joke is nothing. It's a zero.
10:08🔗Howie MandelNothing. It's about a guy comes into a... walks into a talent agent's office and he says, I got a great act. I want you to book this act. And the talent agent says, what's the act? And he says, it's a family act. It's my wife, my kids, my dog and I. We all come on stage and then the joke begins.
10:23🔗DrewThen the joke begins. And it ends with... What do you call this act?
11:17🔗Howie MandelAfter they've been this vile. And not only is it to be as vile as you could possibly be, but it was also part of when I learned it and have heard it, was to stretch it out as long as you can possibly stretch it out. So to be vile and try to hold somebody's attention for, my record is like 41 minutes.
11:35🔗AdamWow. Oh, really? Wow. So you're a craftsman.
12:26🔗Howie MandelI didn't know I wanted to be a comic, but I knew I wanted to annoy.
12:29🔗AdamHere's why I say I assumed you started young, because Howie Mandel, people remember saying elsewhere, and they remember his stand up specials and all that kind of stuff. Talk show? Talk show. Seemed like a long time. Well, the talk show wasn't that long ago, really. But saying elsewhere.
12:49🔗AdamLet's not argue. 22 times. Now, here's the point. The point is, Howie Mandel has been around for a long time, and I assumed Howie Mandel was 40 years old.
13:22🔗Howie MandelAnd that was always the, that's what you're supposed to do with that joke. You're supposed to be inappropriate. It should be told in a very inappropriate place to the people that probably wouldn't want to hear.
13:33🔗Howie MandelThat kind of material. And he's got 100. And when I say he, Paul Provenza and Penn Jillette have 100 people in our business talking about the joke or actually telling the joke. So go see the movie.
16:09🔗I guess I had two questions. I told her one. First one was, I don't know if I think two or three nights ago, my boyfriend and I were having sex, and I don't know what exactly happened.
16:23🔗DrewMegan, what are you doing right now while you're trying to speak to us? You like doing the dishes or something or running a treadmill?
16:36🔗DrewOh, okay. Sorry. Pretend we're not that interested. You're talking to somebody.
16:40🔗AdamYou're speaking in the cadence as if the audience is interested. We didn't come to see you in concert. We're in a hurry. Here's either we're huge fans or you're smoking hot, but both those are out the window.
17:49🔗DrewI know. I understand, Megan, but that typically happens with people on medication or people who've had a bunch of babies where the pelvic... No... .architecture relaxed.
17:56🔗AdamYeah, I know. But hold on. When you're 18, you're talking about orgasmic problems. You don't have to do that. That's never happened before. How many years has a guy been on top of you? You're 18. If you're one of our callers, maybe six years tops. But of course, it's never happened before. Nothing ever happens before you're 18.
18:25🔗DrewWell, it's possible. Maybe you have a urinary tract infection. Maybe it was just one of those things that day. It doesn't have to mean anything serious, but it's typically a problem of women that have also stress urinary incontinence. You also lose your pee when you cough or laugh.
18:40🔗Howie MandelBut how do you know that she peed? How do you know that maybe he peed in her, and when they were finished, she emptied out?
18:46🔗DrewIt's hard to do that when you're having an erection.
18:53🔗AdamWhy don't you try having sex again to see what happens?
18:55🔗Howie MandelOkay. Okay. We'll wait right here.
18:57🔗DrewI wouldn't worry about it. That would be the point. And it does happen sometimes. Again, as I said, usually women have had children though. So it might have looked. It might be urinary infection.
19:06🔗DrewMy one concern is it could be urinary tract infection. So if you have pain when you urinate or burning or anything like that, just look into it.
19:11🔗AdamYeah. I heard in the news somebody crapped out a kid and didn't know it a couple of days ago.
19:36🔗Howie MandelThat's not an oddity. That's a lot of people just give birth and whoops.
19:40🔗DrewI mean, it happens more than you would ever imagine. And it's usually very obese people who literally just thought they were fat but not get it.
19:47🔗Howie MandelLook, my crap is crying. My crap is crying.
19:53🔗AdamWell, I don't want to get racist, but the color of the child may have been the same.
20:13🔗AdamAsians are svelte people. Jews, they're in the hospital every three weeks checking something out, so there's no way that's going to get past anybody.
20:20🔗Howie MandelNo Jew has ever popped on a child by accident.
20:45🔗Howie MandelYes, we have a pit bull who wouldn't. No, it's just that the bris is the, you do that as part of the ceremony. You take the foreskin and you go out and you bury it in the yard. But my dog uncovered it and brought it back to us.
21:13🔗AdamI figured it'd be like what you do with a goldfish or something, like down the toilet or something. I didn't know what you did with the foreskin. Yeah. What's that?
21:23🔗AdamNow, nowadays, you should save it, right?
21:25🔗Howie MandelNo, that is if you have it done in the hospital. But a lot of people have it done in their homes. Yes. It's usually done in the home with, there's little sandwiches, party sandwiches.
22:19🔗AdamBattling a yeast infection too. Just a picture of pulling out a sword, the yeast, drawing the iron, the shields. There's a thing where he swipes it in the candelabra.
22:30🔗Howie MandelMaybe since November. How long is that? That's like six months, seven months.
22:36🔗Howie MandelEight months. Because I know that women use that monistat 7 or monistat 3, and that stands for the amount of days that it is. So maybe you accidentally bought monistat eight months.
23:23🔗DrewThat recently there have been a spate of resistant Candida. Just the way they're resistant bacteria, there's some resistant Candida out there now too. So really they need to identify the type of Candida this is.
24:21🔗DrewYeah. But it really doesn't hurt men at all, but for women it's uncomfortable. I think really you got to get some consultation, or maybe get infectious disease involved with this, and look into the- this is an unusual situation to have it this long. All right.
24:34🔗Howie MandelI've never seen you look this worried.
24:36🔗DrewI'm not worried about her. I'm just troubled that she has going through all this. It's just really unpleasant.
24:40🔗AdamYeah. It's not going to harm her. It sucks. It's one of these things too, where it's like a guy having a hemorrhoid, you don't really get a whole lot of sympathy from your work buddies. There's certain things that are as painful or as bad, as getting a finger cut off when it got slammed in a door of a cab or something. Right. But yet, there's no sympathy.
25:02🔗DrewWell, classic story is I did a piece for this strictly sexual guy that broke his penis, fractured it. Yeah. First of all, he wouldn't do anything about it, then it turned huge, like a mushroom and black. Right. And then he went, well, that seems like a positive. We're going to the hospital. And so he goes, takes his big, first they take the wood's foot flat and huge this way, like a big flat mushroom.
25:22🔗DrewIt's true, a paperweight. But they had to take the dog to the brother-in-law to put the dog somewhere where they went to the hospital. And the brother-in-law goes, what's going on? We're going to the hospital. He goes, I broke my penis. Brother-in-law laughs his ass off, of course, until he shows him.
26:07🔗AdamUsually. Well, those days are way behind. We'll take a quick break. Howie Mandel is in the studio tonight. We'll be right back after this.
26:18🔗CallerLoveline's phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew, we'll be right back.
26:27🔗AdamWant to dress up your sex life? Visit durex.com. There's sex and then there's Durex. Yeah, buddy, it's Loveline and Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Howie Mandel is in studio tonight. He's got a couple of projects. Hidden Howie is the name of the first one, which is out this Thursday, August 18th at 11 o'clock.
27:09🔗Howie MandelHidden camera pieces and sitcom. You can go to howiemandel.com if you want to see some of the hidden camera pieces.
27:15🔗AdamOn 11 o'clock on Bravo and then out in wide release is The Aristocrats.
27:22🔗DrewWhere did they get you with The Aristocrats?
27:26🔗Howie MandelThey went to everybody, wherever they were. They got me at my house, they got wherever anybody was, in their office, at their workplace. I was at my house.
27:37🔗Howie MandelNo, I had a week. They said what they would be good.
27:41🔗DrewDid you prepare or did you just kind of?
27:43🔗Howie MandelNo, I didn't know what they said. I had no idea what it was.
27:46🔗AdamOh, you didn't know you're doing The Aristocrats?
27:48🔗Howie MandelNo, he didn't know what it was. Paul and Penn called me. I know Paul prevents it for years. They said, we don't know what we're doing. We're just getting every comic we possibly can to tell this joke and to talk about this joke. I go, what is it? Is it a documentary? Is it a movie? Let's just get it together and we'll figure out what it is.
28:07🔗AdamBut I mean, you knew you were going to do the joke.
28:09🔗CallerYou know what joke you're going to talk about.
28:10🔗Howie MandelEverybody did the joke and we talked about the joke. Everybody had their own little take on it. Then Paul went away for about a year and a half and cut this thing. And, you know, we are happy with what he did with you. You know, I'm happy to be part of it. It's what he did with me. The only I think I talked for about an hour with them. And I'm left in I'm in the movie for maybe three minutes now and with the C word, only the C word. And I keep repeating the C word, which that's all you do is say the C word over and over. That's all I talk about in that part.
28:48🔗Howie MandelIt is. So that's and you know, that's the way he edited. I had actually only I did the C word for over an hour, but they only left three minutes of the C word.
28:57🔗AdamAll right. I want to talk to Megan Drew. All right. Look at this call. It looks too good to be true. Megan?
29:20🔗CallerNo. It's just kind of been bothering me.
29:22🔗AdamHold on a second. Everyone just close your eyes and picture Megan about, let's say, like 11 years. Just pissed off. She's 15 now. Just picture her in a few years. See? Look down the road.
29:36🔗DrewI figure I'll come to her at a customer service desk.
31:10🔗CallerI don't know. It just kind of seems like all the men that she dates or brings home, they kind of, they like, they work a lot and they like, they run off.
32:40🔗DrewYeah, that's only a payback to mom thing. Listen, 15 year olds are interested in keeping information from their parents. Yeah. If you were having sex with a boy, it's the last thing you would tell your mom.
32:50🔗AdamHere's the thing, Megan. I know you're angry and your mom's the only one around to take it out on because your dad split and abandoned the family and left your poor mom to do her best with you.
33:00🔗DrewAnd all the other guys that came out were abandoning A.
33:02🔗AdamPlease don't take it out on the one parent that decide to stick it out and do what was right. You understand? Yeah. That's your mom. I'm not saying she's perfect. She is present though. Your dad split. Your dad was a coward. Your dad took the easy way out. Your mom stayed behind and she did her best to do her best with you.
34:01🔗DrewThat's a ruse to act... Because she was brutalized by men and then she act out against mom.
34:05🔗AdamThen women are flexible sexually, so if you screw with them enough, they'll just go over. They'll just bounce around. You know what it is? It's just chaos, really, for women.
34:28🔗DrewGot involved in doing functional MRI scans on men and women, and we had them showing images of women to women and men to men. The men, outside of consciousness, they're not aware of this. They can't describe this, but you see their brain characteristics.
34:42🔗AdamWhat do you mean showing women to women?
34:44🔗DrewYou sit in an MRI scanner and they scan your brain.
34:48🔗DrewWhile you look at erotic images. Erotic. One of the images is of men or of women. Then you see how the brain responds to that. The males, all of them, 100 percent, and they didn't do any homosexual males, they were all heterosexual males, had no conscious experience. They didn't bother to look at these images, but their brains lit up with a threat response. Every single one. Remember we talked about that feeling?
35:21🔗AdamSo here's what we're talking about for...
35:24🔗Howie MandelTall women are possibly bisexual.
35:25🔗DrewThey're more fluid. They're more capable.
35:27🔗AdamThey don't have those alarms that go up. This is a good thing. Here's something we always talk about, and I never heard anyone else talk about it, which is trying to talk everyone into being homophobic and how society is so homophobic. Here's my answer to that. Straight guys, when they see gay erotica have a visceral reaction, like, oh my god, I can't look. I have to avert my gaze, have to hold my hand up. If you see a guy graphically having gay sex, it's even hard to talk about for straight guys. With another guy, it's not that you're homophobic, it's not that your mind isn't open, it's not that you're uptight, you viscerally do it. It's like seeing dentistry or something. Seeing a deer get hit and lying by the side of the road, it's like, oh my god, I can't look at this. And by the way, a lot of these guys are the guys who love the seven faces of death films and they love stuff where guys are getting decapitated. Look, if someone said, look, we have a terrorist videotape that shows a CNN reporter being decapitated, these guys would run to the computer to take a look at. These same guys are gonna gag if they see two guys 60-90. Drew's gonna do it now too, right? So this isn't uptight, this isn't homophobic, this is a visceral reaction that straight guys have. Now, considering every straight guy has that, there is not very much abuse of gay people. If you think about the fact that within every straight guy walking the planet, there's a, oh, Christ, no, reaction. And one-tenth of 100 of 1% actually goes out and pees in a fire extinguisher and sprays it on a guy cruising down in Boys Town or takes a bat to somebody or something. The actual abuse compared to the 100% of the visceral reaction, not that high.
37:23🔗AdamWell-contained. Like I would argue when you're talking about when you're talking about gay bashing, I would say, oh, wait a minute, we deserve a medal for the lack of gay bashing that's going on out there, considering what resides inside of every straight man. Yes.
37:39🔗DrewAnd those studies are being done right now on homosexual men to see how their brain response is, what's different about it. And then the big conundrum will be why. Why is the one different than the other?
37:48🔗AdamYeah, and I don't know any other topic that heterosexual males universally agree on in terms of reaction. It's not that way with food, it's not that way with anything else.
37:59🔗DrewIt's the equivalent of seeing your parents having sex.
38:02🔗Howie MandelSo nobody's really... So no heterosexual man is actually homophobic. It's just a...
38:10🔗DrewAnd then they contain it. And you go, oh, I'm...
38:12🔗AdamYeah, I think the homophobic part comes in the reaction, where you actually pick up a bat and go after somebody. But by these, you know, what the super liberal a-holes don't understand is this is inside of every straight guy. So technically, we're all homophobic. It's just a very small percentage of drunken ass-kickers act on it.
38:34🔗DrewAnd it really, it's not homophobia so much as a characteristic response that's unpleasant. Yeah. Well, you're not afraid of it. You don't want to hurt people who do it.
38:45🔗AdamWell, let's put it this way. If you replaced homosexual acts with black people, this would be considered racist in a huge way.
38:56🔗Howie MandelAnd I would imagine, and they probably haven't done this test, if you took a heterosexual man and you showed them images of female homosexual activity.
39:14🔗DrewNo, that doesn't vary. It doesn't. They actually can't distinguish. They couldn't distinguish very well. In other words, either way, you're lit up.
39:22🔗Howie MandelWell, I can tell you, when I watch porn, when they get to the shot of the guy, it's a little turn off even though he's with a woman.
40:41🔗AdamHey, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Howie Mandel is in here. The Hidden Howie is the name of the show on the 18th. That's this Thursday, 11 o'clock. Bravo.
41:59🔗CallerAnd I was just wondering why you decided to get into addiction medicine to save people as opposed to like a lot of different other ways you could.
42:10🔗DrewExcellent question. Really sort of saying.
42:18🔗DrewI'm not sure I can answer it with great accuracy because it has some sort of deep psychological reason to it and it must be symbolically those are the kinds of people that I like saving because addicts are a particular type of people. Also you can restore them to complete health. I mean you really end up with people better than they ever knew they could be.
42:34🔗AdamWell, Drew, would somebody who, see I wouldn't think of someone who did emergency medicine who just triaged people who were shot and stuff as co-dependent, but you're more co-dependent and that can work in your field.
42:50🔗Howie MandelBut wouldn't dentistry fall under the same, it could restore people to even better than they actually were.
42:56🔗DrewNo, it's taking people from dying to better than they actually were, and to restore them psychologically.
43:01🔗Howie MandelBut from an overbite to a gorgeous smile.
43:03🔗DrewYou could do that too. I appreciate that when they do that in fact, but the going from really dying to better than they knew they could be, and to have a psychological connection during that saving process, I think is really what that story was about.
43:16🔗AdamYeah, people always saying, well, not about Drew, but about their, he saved my life. Dr. So-and-so saved my life.
43:21🔗DrewAnd you know, when I would actually do that in a sort of ICU setting or something, or an emergency room, it didn't mean anything to me. Interestingly.
43:28🔗AdamNo, I mean about the medicine, though. I mean about the addiction medicine part.
44:24🔗Actually, I had a theory about that Marco Polo game. I think that it's called Marco Polo, not because he was an aquatic navigator, but more because the name Polo and the word pool are the same letters. And so you need to kind of create a pool called like a recall like a recall or something.
44:43🔗AdamInteresting. So yeah, I know, makes no because water polo has nothing to do with the same letters as pool.
44:49🔗DrewRight. Marco Polo was sort of lost in Asia at one point. He was following his father through and it's like Marco, where are you? He was following his father through.
45:13🔗I want to know if gambling addiction falls along the same lines as alcoholism in that there's like a gene or a genetic predisposition for gambling.
45:23🔗DrewGenerally, there are some genetic elements to it, but it's not as clear cut as, say, with alcoholism per se, that most gambling addicts, in fact, are really alcoholics. And this is just the way it manifests in that disease.
45:34🔗Howie MandelYou sound like you know what you're talking about.
45:36🔗DrewBut there clearly is a subset that overlap that is different.
45:40🔗Howie MandelI will bet you $200 that Dr. Drew could take care of you.
45:44🔗AdamI find, you know, with gambling, it's sort of a... We know what the equivalent of it is, Vicodin, which is... I haven't really met too many people that don't like Vicodin, and I haven't met too many people that don't like gambling. It doesn't mean it takes hold. It just means almost everyone I know, when they're going to a place where they can gamble, get excited about gambling.
46:04🔗DrewAnd if you've got the gene, then it's more likely to take off.
46:07🔗AdamThen you're screwed, and it's probably more insidious in many ways than alcohol, because at least alcohol takes 20 years to really ruin your life.
46:15🔗Howie MandelBut there is sex addiction, right? Wouldn't that be the same?
46:20🔗DrewIt's in the... Behavioral addictions in general are sort of evaluated the same way, but sexual addiction exists in most addicts. And then when they stop their addictive process, their chemical addiction, you see sexual addiction can emerge very commonly.
46:34🔗AdamIt's tough with gambling because it's such a profound part of all human construct to be attracted to it. I don't know anyone who's not in sex too. In food and shit. In food, right. So then where do you stop? I realize I don't gamble because I'm cursed. I realize other people gamble because they think they're lucky. I know I'm cursed.
46:57🔗AdamIt keeps me away from it. Me too. I get my ass kicked every single time. It's like I'm being punished when I gamble. All right. Let's take ourselves a little break. Howie Mandel in studio tonight. We'll be right back after this.
47:11🔗Howie MandelAll right, guys, here's the deal.
47:12🔗CallerYou're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
48:01🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-191. Howie Mandel is in studio tonight. Hidden Howie is the name of the show, August 18th, this Thursday, August 18th, 11 o'clock on Bravo and also The Aristocrats, which will be out in wide release on this Friday. Yes, Drew.
48:22🔗DrewAs much as I dislike those Gorillaz, I like that song a lot.
48:26🔗AdamYeah, Drew, we hate the band, the Gorillaz, but we're starting to like the music.
48:29🔗DrewWait, Anderson said the Gorillaz or Gorillaz?
48:31🔗CallerYeah, it's just Gorillaz, don't piss me off.
48:32🔗AdamYeah, Gorillaz. Yeah, you'll get them angry if you say the the.
48:55🔗DrewSpeaking of the the thing, I'm still angry with the campaign that the Smokey the Bear people put out, trying to make him Smokey Bear instead of Smokey the Bear, which I didn't know it was. Oh, yeah.
50:07🔗Howie MandelYes, all the time. And then he says, we'll be back with more after this. But they don't stop. But they don't sit here. The conversation continues and it goes down the hall. And then they make a turn down a dark corridor. But they continue talking about whatever the last caller was talking about and they continue. Through the darkness, I followed them past a kitchen, through another maze and cubicles into a very clean men's room where they stand side by side at a urinal. Continue the conversation. It never ends. It never ends and it continues. Never stop talking.
50:37🔗DrewOn the drive home. They don't lose... We talk until the phone's cut out.
50:41🔗Howie MandelThis is not a show. You people are just eavesdropping on their life.
50:48🔗AdamLet me say something. I don't know why, but I was thinking of this Buzz Aldrin, the great astronaut was on my TV show last week at some point. Somebody brought up the fact that there's a guy who keeps going up the Buzz Aldrin and saying it's a hoax.
51:03🔗AdamMan's never been to the moon. America's never been to the moon. One time he actually just punched a guy out after he kept bothering him. This is some years ago. But anyway, there's always been this group of people, ironically the same people that say we have a spaceship at Area 51 probably think we never went to the moon. Which is like, well, certainly if you believe we got a spaceship you should at least give us credit for going to the moon. But the point is, they think it was a hoax. They think it was filmed on a sound stage. And I said to somebody the other day, you know, Neil Armstrong screwed up his phrase when he put his foot on the moon. He said one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. It should have been one small step for a man. A man and one giant leap for mankind because man and mankind are the same thing. One small step for man and mankind mean exactly the same thing. So I said look, if we staged this, he would have had another take. He would have cleaned that up.
52:03🔗DrewIf we were doing that and it would have been Especially if it was for Comedy Central.
52:06🔗AdamIt would have been scripted one small step for a man, one small step, one giant leap for mankind. It's a great point. I swear to God, I know this sounds retarded, but this is how I'm absolutely unequivocally positive that it didn't happen. Because if it was on a sound stage, they would have redone it and he would have gotten it right.
52:25🔗Howie MandelSo therefore, the gorillas actually exist.
52:29🔗DrewI like when Buzz said you were talking about the possibility of evidence, I think it was on your show, evidence of extraterrestrials. He said, look, he quoted Carl Sagan and said that extraordinary events would leave extraordinary evidence.
53:44🔗DrewI would. If they, on the other hand, have a question, gee, I had one time hazard. I think it was an outbreak. And I've got this positive. This test is only accurate when interpreted in the context of its clinical circumstance. There's got to be some evidence. So.
54:01🔗DrewBecause it's herpes. Well, some doctors choose to interpret it a certain way. I think the only way you can, if you really need to settle the score, you have to get a culture done. And was this a gynecologist that you saw?
54:13🔗CallerI saw a, I had, what I had was, I guess you'd call them, they would look comparable to like a cankisaur.
54:22🔗DrewAmy, well that looks like, that sounds like herpes. So that's, again, you said you had no evidence.
55:14🔗CallerWell, I had a cankisaur on the back of my throat, and so I went to the doctor and they did a culture of my throat. And one of the doctors that I went to see, which wasn't my primary care physician.
55:25🔗DrewSo you did do a culture. That's not a blood test. You did a culture.
56:44🔗Howie MandelDouble-jointed is now called Cirque du Soleil.
56:47🔗AdamEvery- If you went to public school, there's always one kid that had like the weird arm or had the weird short leg. It got weirder when they took the regular tennis shoe like an Adidas or a Nike's and then put the extra sole on it. I know what they were going for, but it looked extra weird because you recognize the shoe. I just like the orthopedic shoes with the thick one. We had a kid who had the weird short arm. What is that, Drew? How does that work? The weird.
57:15🔗AdamYeah, just the underdeveloped sort of whatever. But he would overcompensate by getting in fights and being picked first and it turned out to be pretty good at everything and it was weird, but it was always known as that guy.
58:04🔗CallerWhy the question for Dr. Drew? I was just wondering, I've experienced a significant decline in my sex drive. I was just wondering if this is a physical thing that I can maybe overcome or if it's a mental thing.
58:22🔗DrewWell, if it's biological, physical, it's usually medication. Have you started birth control pills or something like that?
59:59🔗AdamWhat ends up happening is guys hook up with chicks, they get laid three times a day for two years and they're like, wow, I'm going to take this disgruntled momentum and take it on the road. This is going to be awesome. And then they step out in the real world and it's like, what's crickets? Yeah. It's like, what's going on? Hey, ladies. Woohoo. Hello. I've been getting laid three times a day. I'll settle for twice a week. What do we got? Looking for a fresh wound tank. What do we got? Any tankers? And it's like, nothing. And then they get back together after six months.
1:00:29🔗Howie MandelYeah, but he got back with her, who has now lost her interest.
1:00:32🔗DrewWell, but it maybe harbored her resentments about what just went down.
1:00:45🔗CallerYeah, but I mean, this is something that, I mean, during that break, I was whatever with somebody else, and I still didn't have this next drive that I used to.
1:00:54🔗DrewWere you feeling resentful about this guy being away from you?
1:00:58🔗CallerOh, no, not at all. I just don't feel like...
1:01:10🔗AdamYeah. Okay. So you, and what was he doing during the year off?
1:01:18🔗CallerUm, you know, just working one night, he wasn't dating anybody or really seeing anybody, or like you guys were saying, he may have been sleeping around, but he wasn't.
1:01:40🔗DrewAll right. Well, most commonly, the most common reason, I'm just playing odds with this, is bipolar disorder. Somebody who's tend towards manic depression, where they become hypersexual periods of time, they're very effective at work, she goes to school, she does all these things, and then she gets into more depressive phase and the libido drops, and they're not quite as active. And this may be mild, it may not affect her function, it may not be something that needs to be treated, but it's a suggestive biology that could take off. Be careful with substances that can really amplify it.
1:02:08🔗AdamI was at the movie theater last night and ran into Caroline Ray.
1:02:13🔗AdamWho did that thing where she yelled at me as I was like, Adam, she was eating dinner outside, I walked past her. So I stopped and talked to her, and then there's that thing, I don't know if this ever happens, it must happen to you guys.
1:02:26🔗DrewWhy does speaking about bipolarity bring Caroline Ray to mind?
1:02:30🔗AdamI don't know why, I was just thinking, she yelled, I talked to her for a few minutes, and then I was like, great, come on the show, fantabulous, oh thanks, really great.
1:02:50🔗AdamHere we are again. It happened like three or four times. And then at certain points, that weird thing where like, just look down, honey, and keep walking. Because we don't know what else to talk about. And then I realized, so I was walking and she was eating outside with a bunch of people. And I passed her. I was down the road and she yelled, Adam. And I looked and turned around and doubled back and came back to her. Later on that night, when we were leaving my wife and I, the theater, I saw the director of the TLC show I'm working on, who's a great lady, getting along fine and she was like, there's Pal and I said, honey, keep walking. And it was just my instinct. And she's like, don't you like, and I like, I like her. Keep walking. And I thought my instinct is to always just keep moving. Pretend like you don't know.
1:03:41🔗Howie MandelI think you blow your wad here.
1:03:43🔗AdamMaybe that's it. Maybe that's it. And I think there's a, so Caroline Ray yelled at me when I was 30 paces down and she was looking at my back and I was way out of sight and all that. I saw the, and I haven't seen Caroline Ray in many years, and I saw the woman I see every day who directs my show who I like, and I told my wife keep walking.
1:04:02🔗DrewAdam likes the clutch in. And if he has to engage the clutch to have a conversation or whatever, oh no, no, no, that's too much. That's not good.
1:04:10🔗Howie MandelWell, I'm not a people person.
1:04:11🔗AdamYou're not. You keep walking. What would you do?
1:04:16🔗Howie MandelI don't want to touch, but I don't want to even get the, you know, I think I have weird thoughts. I don't like to, I don't engage. I try, I walk with my head down. I very rarely go out.
1:04:27🔗Howie MandelBut I walk with my head down and I do not because of the carol.
1:04:29🔗DrewWhat are the thoughts? I'm just curious if you're okay.
1:04:32🔗Howie MandelI just don't like being out in public. I just, I feel like I'm going to, I mean, You're being watched or that people are, you know, whispering. I'm very neurotic. I don't like to be touched. I don't like to be, I believe there's germs everywhere. And I'm almost, I'm this close to being a little bit of a-
1:04:51🔗DrewYou see the Kleenex boxes on his feet?
1:04:53🔗AdamYeah, I was wondering what those were. I thought they were Birkenstocks.
1:04:56🔗Howie MandelYes. No, so I'm very close. And I, you know, we were talking before the show. I don't think, but that's a big thing. You know, everybody's extending hands and touching. I'm on a campaign. You want to start Adam Carolla in Santa Marco Polo. I don't want, I don't want people to, I believe in sex. I believe in hugging. I believe in, but I don't want people to touch.
1:05:27🔗AdamI want to bring the Asian thing back for the cell phone. I want people to start saying, hey, when you're talking on the cell phone, because I drive through the canyons. I'm long-winded. I don't know if you've heard. The phone cuts out and I realize that I've been talking for 18 minutes now and the person's been gone for 15 of the 18 minutes.
1:06:08🔗AdamIt feels good. Like, Drew, just start. I'll say it, I'll just start talking. I'll just say, oh, man, I'll tell you what, I don't know why they put those stickers on fruit. You know what I mean? How did we get along without those stickers on the fruit? And you try to pull it off and it takes the skin off with it. And you got to take a knife and stuff. Couldn't they just put the sticker on the outside of the pack? You have to put it on every single goddamn nectarine? See?
1:06:29🔗Howie MandelWhen I was going for the Asian thing, it's just about the height. The height makes me nervous. That makes me nervous.
1:06:34🔗AdamBut on a cell phone, it would make me nervous. Yeah, but you would know the person was there all the time. I mean, LA is such a horrible town for a cell phone.
1:06:42🔗Howie MandelI don't care for the person to even be there. I like making the call.
1:06:45🔗DrewHow is he going with the peanut bomber? He's going away.
1:06:50🔗AdamI agree with you on the handshaking. I totally agree. Not for the germs, just for the fact of, why go? I like that. I like the elbow. I like the knuckles. I like the bow. The bow is nice.
1:07:16🔗DrewYou have these huge rings, and see, I'm intimidating.
1:07:19🔗Howie MandelYes, I have rings now, but just so you won't touch my flesh. But the thing is, I used to have... I used to have the band-aids on, and somebody would extend their hand, and then I would extend my hand, and I'd go, I can't. So then we'd grab my... all of a sudden, the left hand...
1:07:36🔗Howie MandelThen I put band-aids on both hands. But then I had to explain.
1:07:40🔗AdamCan I suggest this? Go ahead. The fact that you don't want to make contact with the hands could be the sort of spearhead, or the reason, maybe the thing that propels you not wanting to be out in person in general.
1:07:58🔗AdamYou know what I mean? It's like there's people that have bad skin, and all of a sudden, they don't want to date, they don't want to go out.
1:08:06🔗Howie MandelI've been with the same girl for 30 years, so I'm safe there. I don't have to date. If I had to date, I probably wouldn't, at this point, where I am in my mind, I probably wouldn't date.
1:08:16🔗AdamNo, I'm saying if somebody has rosacea, the problem where they turn red or something, they don't want to do anything.
1:08:22🔗DrewThere's a slightly different thing from isolating because of you don't like how you appear and that sort of thing from this, which is an anxiety disorder about the obsessional stuff, and that very quickly bleeds into agoraphobia.
1:08:34🔗AdamBut it all stems from the hand, I think.
1:08:49🔗Howie MandelYeah, I have that fear. I just want to put out a quick shout out to the people at West Hills Hospital, the emergency room, who see me frequently with my heart palpitations. Really? Yes.
1:09:17🔗Howie MandelI had an event monitor. So my life was an event. Wow. It's a positive. You can see the positive in that. So I walked around with that for a while. I'm kind of messed up.
1:09:26🔗AdamYeah. You're very forthright about it.
1:09:33🔗Howie MandelBecause somebody sees me if they see me outside afterwards. They go, I heard you on Loveline. I won't shake your hand.
1:09:40🔗AdamNo, it's good. I've said this all times. Snoop Dogg gets to smoke weed wherever he wants. I got to, if I smoke weed, I got to go to my basement and put a sheet over my head. Snoop Dogg gets to do it in the green room, a Kimmel, because that's what Snoop Dogg does. Once you get to work, it would be stupid for Snoop Dogg to pretend he didn't smoke weed. Instead, tell everyone he smokes weed and he can smoke it on a plane. You, Howie Mandel-
1:10:03🔗Howie MandelThat's actually, you had to start out being Willie Nelson's idea.
1:10:05🔗AdamRight. I did rip that one off from Willie Nelson. You let everyone know that, hey man, I'm weird about this stuff. The next thing you know, we're just like, okay, how do you know? You don't shake hands with Howie. Come on, man. It's a different set of rules. It's smart, as opposed to hiding it for many years, which I'm sure you did.
1:10:20🔗Howie MandelI did, and I was going nuts, and I was in and out of the hospital and the emergency room, and now I just, when I did the talk show, you guys were on the talk show, Paramount said-
1:10:29🔗AdamPeople have to come out every day and greet you.
1:10:31🔗Howie MandelParamount said, you can't talk about this crap. You can't, because we want to focus daytime television, there's a different kind of audience, and you can't talk about it every day, you're going to have to deal with it. The way I dealt with it is my friends are a surgeon, and I called them and I said, what are you guys using that? What's that stuff you use to scrub up?
1:10:52🔗Howie MandelBefore and after, and during the show I had PUREL. And then right around the end of the show, when the show was getting canceled, I started getting warts all over my hand, and I said, what is this? And I went to the dermatologist, and apparently I had killed all the antibodies in my, I'm using too much of that stuff.
1:11:23🔗AdamYou're being very forthright about this stuff, and you're putting it out there, and that's probably healthy. On the other hand, maybe it's enabling you a little bit, too.
1:11:32🔗AdamTo spin out with it a little bit, because now people know, it's like Snoop Dogg with the pot. Hey man, I'm wearing it on my sleeve, this is who I am. Now I got a little momentum with it. Is it gathering a head of steam?
1:11:44🔗Howie MandelWell, you know what, this wasn't the segue into plugging the show, but it is part of my show because it's part of me and it's part of who I am, and so I can use it. Right. I realize that I can use it and find the comedy and the entertainment value in it, but by the same, and it also works and makes my life a little bit easier. But I am in therapy. Good. I am, as I talked to you before the show, I'm supposed to be a medicated, I'm not taking the medication for it, so it's a real problem.
1:12:28🔗Howie MandelYou know, I was, and a lot of comics talk about this, I saw an ad, every ad you see for every pill, for everything, has like 5 million side effects, worse than what you're trying to fix up. You know, there's one out now for incontinence.
1:13:26🔗Howie MandelYes, yes. Don't be like dad. So they're all normal. My wife's normal, but they create a world for me to... That I'm very comfortable in.
1:13:34🔗Howie MandelSo they know I have things that I touch. I have my own little, there's a, we call it like normal, a guest bedroom, but it's actually just a place where if somebody has a cold, I can go.
1:13:45🔗Howie MandelIf I sleep, if my wife is sick, or even if I'm sick, to make it easier.
1:13:49🔗AdamWow. See, to me, I'm too lazy. I would embrace that lifestyle, too, but it's just... I burn too many calories. Meanwhile, I eat junk that falls on the floor. I wrestle stuff away from my dog and eat it. Like, I got nothing. I don't even know what's bad, what's good.
1:14:04🔗Howie MandelBut you don't know what triggers this thing. You know, I have babies and I change them.
1:14:22🔗CallerHello, this is your radio. Love Line will be right back.
1:14:46🔗Howie MandelWhich of the following statements is not true? Shopping for music online is fun.
1:14:52🔗Shopping for clothes online is fun. Shopping for car insurance online is.
1:15:16🔗AdamYeah, buddy, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Jared Leto is coming in later on in the week. Bob Saget also coming in later on in the week from The Aristocrats. And by the way, Howie Mandel in The Aristocrats, which is coming out in a wide release this Friday, the 19th, the 18th, the day before, at 11 o'clock on Bravo. You can see Hidden Howie, which is the premiere of his new TV show.
1:15:46🔗AdamHidden Camera and Sitcom. And then 11.30, Monday through Thursday, you watch me on Comedy Central. And on Wednesday and Saturday, stay up till midnight, you'll see Dr. Drew.
1:15:57🔗DrewI was just thinking about that system of a down song, which made me think of eating, which made me think of our crystal method. I mean our crap.
1:16:24🔗AdamCrystal Method brings us food from there. Actually, what we do is we identify bands through the food they bring us. Yeah. System of Down brings us Armenian food. Crystal Method brings us Mexican food.
1:16:35🔗Howie MandelYeah. I didn't bring anything.
1:16:36🔗AdamNow we brought us a tub of Purell. Let's talk to Don. It's time to play a little game called Germany or Florida. Howie, we've figured out from doing this show, actually I figured out from sitting in the writer's room over at Jimmy Kimmel Live for all those years that all bizarre stories emanate from either Germany or Florida. So here's how the game goes. Don will tell us a story and then we will guess, is it Germany or Florida? All right.
1:17:41🔗CallerOkay. Two policemen were left stunned last week after being mistaken for strippers while investigating a noise complaint. The officers were greeted by a group of women with cries of, the strippers are here when they visited the premises. Before they could explain that they were genuine police officers, the two men were surrounded by the group of very interested women. Luckily, before the Randy ladies managed to tear off their uniforms, the two terrified officers whipped out their badges to prove that they were in fact real policemen. After the excitement had calmed down, the men persuaded women to turn the music down and encourage them to wait for the real strippers. The officers' report says there were obvious disappointment on the faces of some of the party goers, Germany or Florida.
1:18:26🔗DrewWell I don't think in Germany they would yell the strippers are here.
1:18:29🔗AdamYeah, and the other thing is, well they could have done it in German, but the point is how do you whip out the badge if you're a uniform cop and if you're not a uniform cop then they just talk to the plainclothes guys who are the strippers, you know what I'm saying?
1:18:47🔗DrewMaybe they sort of pointed at their badge or something, this is a real badge.
1:19:14🔗DrewYou've always said the male stripper comes as a job.
1:19:17🔗AdamRight, why would a guy in a uniform, why would he whip out his badge? That's just bad tabloid writing. And this is just one of those wives' tales thing. It's an urban myth, I don't think it ever happens.
1:20:27🔗CallerSo I heard you guys talking earlier about that kid who always had the shorter leg, then they're never around anymore. And I was like, oh my God, I have to call. I'm totally that kid.
1:20:38🔗AdamYeah. But you had your leg straightened out, right?
1:20:41🔗CallerYeah, I did. But I didn't have it done at birth. I had it done when I was 10.
1:21:39🔗DrewBut you're in a way proving our point, Robin, which is that when we were in school, that would be the kid for good. He just was the guy with the short leg. They would never get it corrected.
1:21:48🔗Howie MandelWouldn't it have been easier just to get a pair of Adidas and put that block on the bottom of it?
1:21:52🔗CallerI couldn't buy the really cool shoes.
1:21:54🔗DrewI had to buy weird things. Now you're normal again, right?
1:22:01🔗CallerPretty much. I'm going to have some heinous scars and I feel limp and it's not.
1:22:05🔗AdamThat's all right. You know what? That just makes you accessible for the guys that aren't as hot.
1:22:10🔗DrewOr not only that, for all the other guys are interested, right? It's like the gazelle at the back of the pack. Yeah. They're ready to pounce.
1:22:54🔗CallerAnd then my arm, I have a short arm too and two fingers on my right hand. So it's something I'm a little sensitive about.
1:23:04🔗AdamTwo fingers on the right hand? Yeah. And a thumb or just the two fingers?
1:23:10🔗CallerWell, it was one giant hand that was stuck together. Then when I was 15 months old, they split it apart and rotated one finger. So I had like an opposable, like, turn to sort of-
1:24:01🔗AdamYeah, why don't you ask your mom what the doctors told her? By the way, science teachers, these guys get 37K a year and have junior college educations and don't want to be there.
1:24:32🔗AdamThat's what you're going to do. And here's the deal, too.
1:24:35🔗DrewAdam just decided the people like you are the people to be in business with and to be in a relationship with.
1:24:39🔗AdamWell, look, I'll tell you the reality is. The reality is, if you ever hire a handicapped person, they're the hardest working people on the staff. They show up early. They overcompensate and that's what you want. And by the way, you could never be fired. You can't be fired. This is better than being American Indian. You could not fire. Once you get in with any kind of corporation or anything.
1:25:03🔗AdamThey are not going to fire you. And then when you do find a guy, it might take a little longer, but when you do, he is going to love you. It's going to be all about you.
1:25:44🔗Howie MandelThey're going to grow up to be French geographers.
1:25:46🔗AdamWe will take a little break. Howie Mandel is in Studio Night. We'll be right back after this. Hey, buddy, it's Love Line, man. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Howie Mandel is in studio tonight. You can find him on the big screen at theaters in The Aristocrats, which is out on the 19th and then the 18th Hidden Howie, which is Thursday, the 18th at 11 o'clock on Bravo.
1:27:00🔗AdamOh, it's good. It's good. So we were talking earlier about how straight guys have a horrible negative visceral reaction to seeing gay erotica.
1:27:09🔗AdamAnd you're here to say that you're straight and you have to look at gay porn sites to get off.
1:27:16🔗CallerWell, like you were talking earlier with Howie the Compulsion. And it's kind of like that. And I'm just calling on him, maybe get some advice.
1:27:22🔗Howie MandelI think that he's not straight.
1:28:01🔗CallerBut, you know, they have these online sites where you can go to and they just, you know, list where you can go meet and hook up with other guys. And I'm just obsessed with them.
1:29:53🔗CallerIt's really not though. I mean, it's really not. Well, look.
1:29:55🔗AdamOkay. Listen, Kevin, if this isn't bogus, then you have the deductive reasoning of a four-year-old. You're going out and hooking up with guys physically. You don't think that makes you gay?
1:30:08🔗CallerMaybe bi. I don't know. But at the same time, I hook up with girls too and I'm attracted to them.
1:30:25🔗CallerWell, I mean, when I'm with a girl, we have sex twice a day. Whenever there's not a girl around.
1:30:32🔗DrewYou're describing the circumstances of if this is true, which I'm still having trouble.
1:30:38🔗AdamIt's not adding up, Kevin. Hey, Kevin, you know the Geneva Convention of Boguosity. You got to fess up, brother.
1:30:46🔗CallerI really am not bogus. What were you going to say though, Drew? If this is true, what were you going to say?
1:30:50🔗DrewThat it just absolutely have to conclude that there was a sexual abuse history there, because that's what creates these behaviors. The confusion, the compulsive sexuality, the lack of specific sexual orientation. That all adds up to that.
1:31:08🔗CallerThe only two conclusions you can reach is either I was abused or I'm gay.
1:31:28🔗Howie MandelThey think you were abused, gay, and a liar.
1:31:30🔗DrewHere's the problem. It's that unfortunately, because these are serious issues, if you're staying with it, we have to treat it with the according seriousness. If you were a sexual abuse survivor, which if you collect your history, I think you'll find something happened there.
1:31:51🔗DrewWell, and you're wondering about why you're so compulsive sexually as you described it, and you're having difficulty knowing why your sexual orientation is so difficult for you to make sense of, then go get some treatment for this and straighten things out. I've never heard of that though. Just a general therapist would be fine.
1:32:08🔗AdamNever had a camp counselor take a pass at you or anything?
1:32:14🔗DrewWell, whatever. There's something here that needs to be straightened down and figured out. Straightened is probably not the direction it's going to go.
1:32:20🔗AdamSomething's wrong with God. Yeah. Something's wrong.
1:33:05🔗AdamIt's hard when the bogus bell is ringing in your head really loudly.
1:33:08🔗DrewYeah, and they're talking about things that are very serious and very difficult and very painful and you can't connect with anything real, so you're talking about abstractions and it's very unsatisfying. We'll go get some treatment.
1:33:22🔗AdamAnd he's a little bit of a wise ass, a little bit curt, a little bit short, a little bit of a smart ass. All right, so get some therapy.
