1:20🔗VoiceoverYeah, Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191, Dr. Drew. Board Certified Physician and Addiction Medicine Specialist.
2:09🔗AdamYeah, I probably should have picked my phone up on Saturday. I had a limo filled with guys. I didn't think I'll have from work going. But when so here's the deal. I won. OK, douche nozzle. I got to write down douche nozzle. We got to get to that. I was supposed to do the coin toss, supposed to do the coin toss at the UCLA, Washington State University, Washington State to watch the game at the Rose Bowl. How dare you? I saw the game. I was supposed to do the coin toss. Evidently, it's something people do every once in a while. Maybe a dignitary or a quasi-celebrity like myself. Here's the thing. As per usual, nothing was worked out in advance and nothing was thought out. No one knew anything. So first thing that happens is the limo can't get in. You know, the limo always does the huge circle around the whatever. Here's the thing, and Drew, please stop me if I'm exaggerating or stretching the truth in any way, shape or form. At least half of the time a limo or a town car picks you up to take you to an event, whether it's the MTV Awards, the Tonys, the Oscars, the whatever, into those, the football game, the lecture hall that you're speaking at, the banquet room you're toasting at, at least half of the time the guy who's driving the car has no idea where you're going in the facility and where you're getting dropped off and neither does anyone around them.
3:42🔗AdamNow, it's super important that you get to your house 45 minutes early.
3:46🔗DrewEspecially if it's 7 in the morning pick up.
3:48🔗AdamBut it's not so important that they actually know where they're dropping you off.
3:51🔗DrewDon't know where they're going and don't know how they're getting there and you can count on 85 layers of security, each of which are not expecting you out.
3:59🔗AdamNobody knows anything. Here's the deal. It's the MTV Music Awards. I got Bono and Carson Daly in the town car and they're sending them packing. We don't know. Not this gate. Keep driving. Now here's the whole thing about security guys, which is funny too. They don't know anything about anything ever. Because whenever you do that thing, you see that guy in the yellow windbreaker, you're like, hey buddy, yeah, excuse me. Where's Will Call? I wouldn't know. Why would you know where Will Call was? You only patrol the perimeter of this place. Security people know less about their job than anybody. I think if they see a bomb or they see some fire, they're going to react. Other than that, they have no, it's like, do you know where the main gate is? No. Do you know where Will Call is? No. Where's the celebrities? Is there a celebrity? I don't, nothing.
4:53🔗DrewIt's like the robots given program to do one thing. It's like you, you, dude, put the old jacket on and get cars in this driveway.
5:05🔗AdamAnd then the limo, so between that guy and whoever drives the town car, always a huge long lap.
5:10🔗DrewSo anyway, so I'm sitting outside the Rose Bowl and you're doing eight claps and what the hell?
5:15🔗AdamI'm going around this place. What the hell? Well, let me tell you what happened. So we get out to the Rose Bowl. Now I'm down on the field and I'm doing some long snaps. You know, I got the ball boys doing some snaps, kicking some field goals. Yeah, just screwing around on the side. That game hasn't started yet. And then there's this thing like, you know, I'm just wanting to look. It's not like I do one of these things every year. Tell me what to do. How is this going to work? Well, you're going to be with the captains. They're going to walk straight out on the 50-yard line. You're going to come in sort of at an angle. That's my angle of pursuit. Go on angle and then my liaison will break away from me after about 20 paces and I'll just be on my own to join everybody in center field essentially, you know? So she breaks away. I just walk into center field. There's the three Husky captains. There's the three Bruin captains. There's the refs. There's three or four refs. I just come walking up, just standing there in street clothes. The ref's like, all right, I'm going to flip the coin up. I'm like, huh? Boom, next thing you know, he throws the coin up there. That's like, okay, the Washington Huskies have won the toss. You want to defend what goal? Now I'm standing there and people are being moved around like, okay, we're going to, and I'm like, where do I go? Staying with the UCLA players? I'm not on the team. I feel weird like going, do I just stand in the middle though? I just, you know, I do that thing where I slowly back up, try to get a little space from the area and start sort of around the rest, but I'm getting turned around and stuff. Next thing you know, the captains are jumping up, running off the field. I'm just like standing there. I didn't flip the coin. They didn't mention my name over the PA system. For all anyone knows, there's some dude in Dockers who's just standing out in the field. I was shaking hands with the guys from UCLA and the guys from Cal, I mean from Washington and stuff, but clearly they had no idea. One of the refs had zero idea what was going on, and nobody had any idea what was going on, which made me first realize anyone could just go walk out on that field. You got huevos big enough to decide to include yourself in the coin toss, I think you'd do it. You put a jersey on, you grab a clipboard, or you put a nice suit on, that's your move. I'll tell you what'll get you out there, Drew. You know what'll get you out? It'll get you out at the coin toss for the Super Bowl. Put a nice suit on, a nice suit on, and pull a jersey over the suit. Some sort of ceremonial thing. You got that look, nobody ever stops you. You walk into the White House, you can walk into the Super Bowl, you walk into Fort Knox. If you put a nice suit on, and then put that team jersey on over it, like the ones that, you know, the first round pick guy gets, or the coach, the new coach, or the Hall of Fame. You'll go walk right through the front door of the White House.
8:09🔗AdamThat was it. I just walked off the field. I didn't know what to do. Now I'm just standing on the sideline. These guys are all warming up and stuff.
8:16🔗DrewI swear I heard you lead an eight clamp as I was walking in.
8:39🔗AdamCD-ROM or whatever. Anyway, so that was that. The other thing is a douche nozzle. We call people douche bags, but the nozzle, what about the nozzle?
8:48🔗DrewThat's the work in it, that's the disgusting part of the douche.
8:50🔗AdamThat's the business end of the douche bag. It's sort of like saying, well, you could call somebody a horse's leg, but if you called him a horse's ass, that's the working area. That's the insult. Saying the douche bag, eh, nice, but that's the leg, the nozzle, that's the ass. This guy's a douche nozzle.
9:20🔗AdamBecause I brought the douche nozzle out about five, six years ago and it hasn't exactly caught on, but it's up to us to keep it alive. So you can call a guy at work a douche nozzle, a lazy douche nozzles, you douche nozzles get back to work, shake your ass douche nozzles, couple of douche nozzles, give me a hard time.
9:37🔗DrewMaybe people don't know what to call that spigot at the end. You may actually come up with the name.
9:59🔗DrewI could have sworn I heard you with a mic as I was walking in. I could have sworn.
10:02🔗AdamHow does that stuff work? I mean, when I walked out into Centerfield, there was not a person in that area that had any idea what I was doing there. The refs, clearly, nobody spoke to the ref. The ref started flipping the coin before the guys even came to a stop. I mean, the guys just walked down. It wasn't anything like, okay, Mr. So-and-so, this is Mr. So-and-so, I'm your headline official. It was just like, all right, who's watching your way, you're calling the air heads, you know, that's it. Boom, I mean, I barely stopped walking. Just, and it was just over as soon as it began.
10:37🔗DrewDid you get to stay on the sidelines, watch the game?
10:39🔗AdamI watched a little bit from sidelines and went up to my seats. Something they didn't tell me. No beer in the Rose Ball. Whoa.
10:54🔗DrewSame way as the Coliseum. People get a little amped up and... Yeah.
10:58🔗AdamAll right. But, all right. I'm just saying, look, here's the deal.
11:02🔗DrewI'm sure you were loaded and high by the time you got there.
11:04🔗AdamI had a couple beers, but it wore off. Here's the thing. If you do not serve beer at your sporting event, I need a dirigible size banner hanging over the stadium that can be seen from outer space. It says, no beer here. Because if I go to a football game, I expect beer. And especially a nighttime foot, I mean, Saturday night.
11:30🔗AdamMy God, I would have brought a flask. I really would have. I had no idea. We were shocked and appalled. I went with Dickey from the Boston's came too. He was beside himself.
11:50🔗CallerYes. What's up? In the last three weeks, I've been having a little bit of blood during intercourse. It's not painful or anything, but it freaks my boy for now. He's kind of scared of blood.
12:07🔗CallerNo. It used to be painful because we've been sleeping together for about six months. For the first couple of months, it was hard. We had to find a groove to get into before we could actually successfully have intercourse. But now there's blood.
12:22🔗DrewWell, it's common. Very common. If you're on the birth control pill or have an IUD or something, it's especially common.
12:30🔗CallerWould it have anything to do with my... I get urinary tract infections regularly.
12:35🔗DrewIt wouldn't have anything to do with the infections per se, but with the antibiotics that you take to treat the infections, it would have a lot to do with that.
13:00🔗DrewTheir job is to find out if something's serious or not, and let's get on with it.
13:03🔗AdamYeah, I don't know how many people know somebody whose doctor missed something, but it doesn't happen that often. It's not like everyone knows somebody who's been taken because a doctor didn't catch something early enough or misdiagnosed something. I mean, let's just move forward.
13:19🔗DrewGiven the hundreds of millions of illnesses that are looked at every day, it's amazing that that doesn't have more.
13:24🔗AdamYeah, you come in, they take a look at you, they see what age you are, they kick your tires and they send you packing. That's enough. Just believe them. Leanne?
13:38🔗CallerOkay. Well, I found out like four months ago that I was pregnant. I'm now five and a half months. And me and my boyfriend, we've been together for about two and a half years. And it's been kind of a rocky relationship, like kind of back and forth. And he's having a really hard time accepting it, like a really hard time. I mean, just every once in a while, we'll just be sitting around watching TV and he'll be like, oh my God, I can't believe this is happening, like out of nowhere. We're not even talking about it, we're not discussing it, and he just like freaks out.
14:48🔗DrewWell, at some point, when he's ready, he'll want to be the head of a family, and when he's ready to do that, then children become a natural sort of... But before that, men will do... There's not only no drive, there's an aversion to having children for most men. What do you say, Adam?
15:05🔗AdamThere is, for most men, because of what it represents, which is a sort of permanent finality kind of thing, which is you're not going anywhere.
15:15🔗DrewBut I want you to put that in contrast with women who actually have an erotic drive to have children. There's a desire to have kids, and men do not have.
15:23🔗AdamWell, look, hold on a second. Just think about anything guys are interested in and chicks aren't interested in. You know, the marriage itself, the ceremony. Oh, we're going to be picking on dresses. We're going to go look at cakes. We're meeting with planners and we're looking. Oh, okay, please. Guys are like, fat, zero, just not interested. Now, it doesn't mean they're not in love. Doesn't mean they don't want to get married, but just there's no drive there at all. And it's biologically probably about the same with the kid.
15:54🔗DrewNo, no, no, because I'll put you in a different context.
16:16🔗DrewBut then nothing you could do about that, is there?
16:19🔗AdamWell, I could fight a fight, but I've seen enough movies to know eventually I would start liking it, because that's in the movies I see. You know, they get into it about half. It's a great message, porn sends one. The victim starts getting into the rape about halfway into it.
16:34🔗AdamNot even halfway in. It's about the first, about 15 seconds, then they're into it. There you go. That's a lovely message. Yeah. Okay.
16:43🔗DrewBut think about that drive. That drive has been in, it is in women as a biological drive. And if men look forward to their vagina getting ripped apart, or dying, or being disfigured, or being miserable, there's no drives. They wouldn't do it. They would not do it. They'd avoid it.
16:56🔗AdamBut furthermore, if the guy isn't that into the relationship, then it's even more out. Then it's amplified.
17:05🔗DrewAnd if he's not really truly not ready, or not one of those guys that can be in a committed relationship, then forget it.
17:11🔗CallerYeah. But the thing is, that kind of, I mean like during sexual fantasies and stuff, he'll talk about like me getting pregnant and stuff, and like how it turns him on and stuff. But now that it's the reality, he's like completely freaking out about it.
17:24🔗DrewNo, he's saying, he's saying that, no, no, no, no, no. Guys don't say that unless they're prompted by a woman. Have you said stuff like that to him, like that's erotic for you?
17:53🔗CallerDuring the times that we've been broken apart, more or less on his end, I've always known, just because it's been such a habit for us to get breakups together.
18:01🔗AdamWhat's he do? Something in the restaurant world?
18:41🔗CallerI mean, he's financially stable. He owns rental properties. He's doing well for himself.
18:45🔗AdamOkay. All right. My feeling is, is he's 27. He's doing well for himself. He thinks he likes to get laid periodically by someone other than you. And now this feels like he's hemmed in. Yeah.
19:00🔗CallerIt's all my fault. He thinks like I was like sabotaging my birth control, like taking tic tacs or something like that. I mean, he's-
19:09🔗AdamAll right. Well, okay. Here's whatever it is. Well, maybe she can give the kid up for adoption. Leigh Ann, why don't you give the kid up for adoption?
19:17🔗DrewHow about that? Somebody's a couple that really want to have him.
19:22🔗CallerHis mother is like insane. He keeps trying to give me to get the kid to like his brother because they have autism. It's like a whole big mess.
19:30🔗DrewI wouldn't do that. I would send the kid away somewhere far away.
19:33🔗AdamYeah. How about just give the kid up for adoption? This thing ain't going to last.
19:37🔗CallerWell, I just- Because that's something that he would want. It's not something necessarily that I would want. In the long run, it may be a good decision for both of us.
19:45🔗DrewFor the kid, not for you. For the child.
20:14🔗AdamNo, I mean, look, you made it, but what are you doing? You're 24, you're pregnant, you're in a relationship with a guy that's not so into it.
21:31🔗AdamYeah, okay. Well, here's the thing. I think you can buy porn at places. Yeah, you can get at car washes, synagogues, churches now. I think they're selling porn. Places that just specialize in Christmas decorations.
22:10🔗CallerDr. Drew, this is probably the most exciting thing that's happened to me in my entire, since I was 14, I have had this raging crush on you. And I mean-
22:22🔗AdamKeep driving, baby. You can be on top of him in about 20 minutes.
22:27🔗DrewBut you called in to ask Adam about porn?
22:31🔗CallerIt was a very spur of the moment thing.
22:32🔗DrewThat's not the way to impress me. What are you doing now? What do you do in school?
23:37🔗AdamBecause that's where you get porn at this hour. I don't know, I don't even know what they have and what the adult books, Star Garden? No. What do they have in Irvine?
24:11🔗Adam1-9-1-er. Let me tell you the second most disturbing thing about the UCLA game, beside them not selling beer at the Rose Ball. Actually, them not selling beer at the Rose Ball is one through five.
24:24🔗AdamIt's not just one. But I'll tell you the next one. The UCLA marching band wearing the Cal colors. The UCLA...
24:34🔗DrewWait a minute. Wait till you go and see UCLA play Cal. They have the same fight song done at different tempos. Because they're UC schools.
24:43🔗AdamHello. The teams have different uniforms. The band needs to wear the goddamn colors that the team wears. I didn't know what band was out there. I thought the Cal marching band was out there. They wear a gold or yellow or whatever in a royal blue. Whereas the team wears a powder baby blue. Let's just get... What? Get the stuff in the powder blue.
25:12🔗AdamAnd look, here's the whole thing, the royal blue... You're already wearing a sash, a hat with a feather sticking out of it and half a cape. You go royal blue, you spring a vagina. You automatic... Yeah, but a baby blue. A powder blue. You go powder blue. You try to pull that cape, gold sash, feather in the hat, and powder blue, and you just get a penis in your ass. That's it. You could not go gayer. And here's the thing too, the marching band, it's funny because they wear the cape, but the cape's only hanging off one shoulder, which I don't know if it's still technically a cape, but to me, if I'm in that band, I wear it superhero style. Yeah, not, you know, Conquistador style or whatever, the bullfighter, I don't know what that thing is when it's hanging off one shoulder. It just looks like a drape, it looks like a curtain where the rod fell off half of it's on the floor, like somebody broke in your back. Yeah, yeah, I wear the, I do my cape superhero style.
26:12🔗DrewYou see they do that UCLA cursive thing where they pull the.
26:16🔗AdamSpell it out. Then there's that poor guy who has to get up there in the shorts and the sweater. I don't mind the young guy, the drill team guy, but I'm talking about the guy in his 50s, who's up there.
26:25🔗DrewHe got that, where were you sitting? What tunnel?
26:44🔗AdamYeah, this guy's Cowbell. This guy didn't make a move until somewhere around the second or third quarter. Then I saw him stand up and he's like, All right, we're going to do the defense chant. Count of three defense. Cut to the field, 33-yard game. See the guy come up like 10 minutes later. Now, we're into the third quarter. He does the defense again. It's a 17-yard thing. He tries to defense one more time. There's a touchdown. And I just turned to Dickie who was sitting next to me and I said, If we were natives, we would have tossed this guy in the volcano a long time ago, because every time he stood up and yelled defense, they went for a TD.
27:23🔗AdamWell let me say that. I had another thought about this guy too, which is he's got that piece of cardboard on the front side says defense and on the back it says touchdown.
27:34🔗DrewHe's got a couple. No, no. He's got defense. He's got go Bruins.
27:37🔗AdamOh yeah. Okay. Well here's my point. On the defense one, the back side of it, because he's efficient, says touchdown or something on it. All I'm saying is one time he's going to get a little disoriented. He's going to stand up there and hold the touchdown up when Arizona's got the ball.
28:03🔗DrewI thought you'd be down with the cheerleaders and stuff. I was shocked.
28:05🔗AdamI was down with the cheerleaders. You know the thing about cheerleaders in general? They're cute, but they're not rangy. They're short. Cheerleaders are not a whole breed. Yes, they have to be gymnast and they all go about 5'3. You know, they're not, they're not, you know, if you think about cheerleaders, they're not models. They're cheerleaders. They're not waifi. You know, they're not long and stretched out. They're sort of short and they got, you know, they got calves on them. Don't mind it. Don't get me wrong. Anna?
28:45🔗I was on the IUD for about four years and I got it taken out a year ago and I can't, my periods are all screwed up and I had to get on hormones last month just to get my period.
29:35🔗DrewWell, but that's not, I'm worried about sometimes when you're very much overweight, you can get polycystic, you know, the own cycle normally. Do you have polycystic ovaries?
29:42🔗AdamLet me say this. Let me just jump in here. Are you overweight followed with the huh is the equivalent to the are you working? What kind of job do you have?
29:52🔗DrewWell, right now, that's the equivalent of, No, you know, more accurately, it's am I working?
29:58🔗AdamAm I working? Well, right now. All right, Anna. So, what about it, Drew?
30:06🔗DrewWell, do you have any, have you been diagnostically worked up? I mean, do you have polycystic ovaries? Do you have something wrong with your hypothalamic pituitary ax?
30:13🔗It's because of all my blood. Nothing wrong.
31:24🔗AdamAll right. Well, just spend a couple of the bucks that he makes and get a sperm test.
31:28🔗DrewWell, and see a board-certified fertility specialist. You're just getting started. You've tried for a year. Now it's time to go check things out, see what's going on. You had a regular period. So already, you know, there's something going on hormonally and cycling-wise with you. And that needs to be more carefully sorted out.
31:41🔗AdamYou know, wives and their description of what their husbands do or their military service or what the dad does in the military, not only is it inaccurate, but it always... It's really... It's like when my family, I think, describes me, it always falls under the side of sort of downgrade. You know what I mean? Like, what's your husband do? He works at bars. What's he do? Clean up vomit or reprogram that sex machine thing? Like, are you a sex... You know, like, handle things? You recalibrate that thing or... Breath mints. What's he refill the mint jars? He put the mint in the toilet. No, he works for a distributor. Oh, okay. All right. Well, now he's been upgraded. It's not so bad. It's better working at bars. Why does he never... I don't know if your wife... At least you're a doctor. Your wife just... Oh, he's a doctor. He's covered. You know what I mean? Yeah.
34:17🔗AdamYeah. Kids Plus. It's great. What do you need? You looking for kids? What do you look for? Asian? We're out of Asia. We got plenty of Blacks and Mexicans. But a white kid? We'll see what we can find.
34:28🔗DrewWe'll send you out to Kids Are Us for that.
34:30🔗AdamSend out to Kids Are Us. Kids Plus out there. Yeah.
34:36🔗CallerI am very male dependent and I have a boyfriend. Everyone in my cottage is telling me to go single for a week for a month. Because I did it when I was in lockup for five months. And I hated it. Now I'm in the open cottage.
34:51🔗DrewYeah, but Chrissy, this is all part of that same drive you had to be sexually intimate with other people, to fuse with other people. That's a very powerful drive to sort of lose yourself into another person. And that's a very, it's a common urge, but in your situation where you have all these issues, it can become a problem. And part of what you're going to need to get better is to spend some time just alone, examining how you feel when you are alone. Because when you are in those fused relationships, you refuse and you can't look at anything else. All you feel, you know, you feel disconnected to the other person and what he feels you feel. And that's a pathological situation.
35:27🔗AdamIt's not that many places that have lockdowns and cottages.
35:34🔗AdamRight. Now, you know, my dad used to work at a place like that. Cool. Yeah, they had little cottages. They got little den parents. They have their meals, say their prayers. It's nice, except for there's boys there who are troubled, too, and people are bound to act out.
35:50🔗CallerWell, when cottage shoe may lock up, it was co-ed, and now I'm in the open cottage with all girls.
35:58🔗DrewYeah, stay, stay. I agree with your, your cohorts, or whoever's telling you to spend some time alone. You need to examine things. If you don't change and grow now, when are you going to?
36:07🔗AdamWhere do you, do you go to school outside of the, the residence?
36:29🔗DrewIt's a good thing you're there, take advantage of it. Follow directions, trust other people, and see what happens.
36:34🔗AdamI mean, imagine if you're in one of those places 75 years ago. Some alcoholic priest banging you and beating the crap out of you. Just raping you with a Bible. I mean, think of the weird dark tales that went into place.
36:51🔗AdamNo medications, just basic exorcisms basically.
36:54🔗DrewRight. And they knew they were going to have kids who couldn't defend themselves and who were victims, and victimizers were drawn into them.
37:00🔗AdamYeah. Father O'Malley is here to preside over the entire place. He's a pedophile. No one's going to listen to what you have to say. You just get the crap beat out of you if you do pipe up.
37:50🔗AdamOh, all right. Well, Drew's right. Hold on. Take a quick break. Be right back after this. Yeah, tell you what, man, gotta get it on. Yeah. Hell, yeah. Get it on. Oh, Drew.
38:27🔗DrewWell, let me guess. There's those those freeway signs that are there every night that spent probably 100 million dollars setting up. They must give you detailed accounts of detours and where to go, what the routes are that are their blood. No. Really? Those freeway signs that are those huge, huge billboards, the ones that always light up and tell you about the Amber Alerts and what's going on on the DeVore Pass.
38:51🔗AdamYes. This is how I know no one in this city gives a rat's ass. This is how you know. Here's how you know when people don't care. When people don't do things that take a lot of work and a lot of effort and bend over backwards in a lot of trouble, that doesn't mean they don't care. That just means they're not going to spend a whole bunch of time and money making your life better. Right.
39:16🔗AdamThey don't care a lot. But when they just don't do things that they could easily do, that are totally reasonable in the flip of a button, they're just telling everyone just to F off.
39:35🔗AdamHere's the thing. Every single night, Drew and I drive home the same direction. They're doing major work on the freeways now, and I get spat out in the middle of downtown, can't get back on the other direction, and I'm now just driving through the badlands in the middle of the night.
39:51🔗DrewAnd some people appreciate we probably cover 20 miles to get home. I mean, not a small distance.
39:56🔗AdamNo, and the other night, you're out of town, but couldn't get back on. And then when I got back on, couldn't get on to the 101, heading for Dodger Stadium after I fished my way back on. Now, the thing that makes me want to dive on Mayor Reardon or Viragosa or whatever retard and just bite him in the carotid artery with my incisors, the thing that makes me want to leap on him and do that is we pass under these huge freeway signs that are just blank. Then normally they light up when a kid's missing or they'll light up, well, only when a kid's missing.
40:33🔗DrewThey'll light up within three minutes of that.
40:36🔗AdamYeah, nice little positive things like slow down or you're gonna get a ticket.
40:39🔗DrewOccasionally, you know, wildfire off the DeVore Pass or the El Toro wire. Right. And things like 60 miles from where we are.
40:46🔗AdamGod damn forbid they tell you that the entire downtown freeway is shut two miles from where you are. No, they wouldn't want to give you a heads up on that. No, you could get off and do something. I'd get off on La Brea and drive through town. But no, I can just get spat out in the middle of downtown and some barrio.
41:04🔗DrewYou know, part of the problem is although everyone here comes from everywhere else, people don't spend a lot of time visiting other cities. You know, when you're LA, you're sort of busy and you're here. We see how nice other cities cause some pilot and how well other cities take care of their population.
41:24🔗AdamIt's every man for themselves. And I think it's the same with the officials and the same with everyone who works in this place. It's just F you every man for themselves. And I'm going berserk. Now the problem is, is I don't know when the freeway is going to be closed off and when it's not, because it's every third day, it's every other day. I'm not sure if I should get on it and try it. And you won't find out until it's too late. Now you just go to downtown. You're in the warehouse district and you can try to fish your way through a winding labyrinth of one way, one way streets. And then if you get back on the freeway, it's not sure that you're not going to have to get off again. That's the awesome part.
42:22🔗AdamDrive right through them. My whole thing is, please, first off, I'd love to see a cop right now because I'm scared. I'm scared assless. That's it. Number two, if you give me a ticket for running through this red light, I swear we're going to have a Waco Ruby Ridge situation here. Because if you idiots had taken your job seriously at all and put something on that goddamn multimillion dollar sign that I bought, the three that I passed under, I wouldn't be in the middle of downtown at four in the morning driving in a circle. Gee, I swear. Look, I think we could sue them.
42:55🔗DrewI hope so. I'll be on that class action.
42:58🔗AdamOh, I'm telling you, I gotta go on some kind of website and find out if the freeway is closed or not because who put it on the sign?
43:06🔗DrewLet's see if there is something like that. So Brian, you understand that taking androgens and anabolic steroids is a risky thing, right?
43:32🔗CallerAbout the addiction? Oh yeah, I understand. The thing with me is that it kind of keeps me, it kind of actually keeps me out of trouble. I'm not promoting them at all, but they are a risk and they are bad for you in a lot of aspects, but it kind of keeps me living healthy. It gives me a reason to live healthy. But you are correct.
43:54🔗CallerWell no, this is actually my second time around, but I can definitely see how it would become an addiction for the way it makes you feel and the results you get. I can definitely see that, yes.
44:05🔗DrewI was just waiting to just sort of parrot back to your logic. My logic is I take dangerous drugs that could kill me and have an adverse impact on my health to keep me living right.
44:15🔗AdamThat's what keeps them on a straight and narrow drug. For some it's heroin, for others it's coke, for Brian it's testosterone. That's what keeps you on a straight and narrow.
44:25🔗CallerYou know what? I tell my friends this is my drug of choice. They can do their coke and their heroin, but it's different.
44:39🔗DrewI've lost a number of patients to androgenic steroids, either from stroke, heart disease, manias, and depression with suicide.
44:48🔗AdamWell here's the deal, because I saw a whole special on this. They don't have a ton of definitive evidence about what these things do. You're playing, you're screwing around, you're playing with nature a little bit, and it does have a way of biting you in the ass. It doesn't have to, but it usually does have a way of biting you in the ass. So at 19, because, look, I understand if it's a business. I mean, hey, if you're a pro wrestler and you've got to make hay while the sun shines and everyone else is on the juice and you're essentially being punished for not being on it because everyone else is on it or you couldn't do it, then you go do it. If you're 19 and you just want to look good in a tank top, you should get over that.
45:30🔗DrewWell, let me ask a question real quick before we go to the break. What's the question, Brian?
45:34🔗CallerOkay, well, the question is, I had sex with my girlfriend last night, and I don't know if you're familiar with Dr. Drew, the testosterone injection is actually reducing your sperm count to very, very minimal numbers like that.
45:47🔗DrewWell, it's hard to predict what that number is going to be, though. First of all, it will spring back after a while, if you've been on it for a while, and whether or not it's enough to get a girl pregnant, it's almost impossible to predict, so she has to take the morning after pill.
46:00🔗DrewIt does, of course. Whenever you take some hormone from the outside, it shuts down your body's normal hormone production, as it has a compensation to try to get you back towards normal levels, and you're taking extra super high levels, so it shuts things down very substantially. But whether or not it shuts it down enough to not cause a pregnancy, I wouldn't count on that.
46:18🔗AdamWe'll take a break. We'll be back after this. Drew, phone number 1-800-LO- All right, you ready to go, Drew? We got on the Caltrans website and tried to figure out about these freeway signs and freeway closures, and it was last updated in February 2004.
47:29🔗AdamThey care about my goddamn tax money. That's where it ends. Look, here's, I don't know who I was talking to about this, maybe just a group of horrified people that are paid to listen to me. But I really started breaking down the difference between people that are just being paid and there's no competition, sort of basically communism and capitalism. And you know, I said, well, I'll tell you, it's pretty much the difference between UPS and the post office. UPS guys, you see run. They are running. Maybe they don't even have doors on their cars. They're just running. I think we were talking about in here one night. I'm not sure if you're in here or not, but they run, man. I mean, they haul ass. People, they wear shorts because they have to. They wear shorts.
48:21🔗AdamThey wear shorts not because it's hot. They wear shorts like basketball players wear shorts. You just couldn't do it in jeans. Chicks are running. Dudes are running. Everyone's running. Why? Because they get paid like some kind of base amount, like 40 grand or whatever. And then the next 50 is based on performance. That's that's where the running part comes in. Cart trucks still rolling. Dudes doing a shoulder roll out of the thing, sprinting upstairs, a bunch of packets, bunch of parcels. Now, when's the last time you saw a postman running? Garbage man running, DMV employee. Ever seen you running? Seen you post? They seen you running going on? No. BCUPS guys run.
49:03🔗AdamThose guys are running. Why? A, they got each other, and then B, they get paid based on performance. Don't see the Caltrans guys doing too much running unless a drunk driver gets sideways. Other than that, a lot of hanging. Not so much running. And that's the way it works, everyone. And this is why, this is why communism could never, ever, ever, ever work in a billion years. All right. Tara?
49:57🔗AdamFlip flops. Yeah. That's it. That's the day the running stops. Go ahead, Tara.
50:04🔗CallerFor three days now, my clitoris has been swollen really bad, not in any way pleasurable. And I ruled out a yeast infection. I haven't been wearing anything that's been irritating it, and not to sound like a floozy, but in the last three days, I've been wearing skirts and airing everything out.
50:44🔗CallerYeah. I mean, my boyfriend and I have sex like every day, and I don't know, I just don't know why it hasn't gone down, though.
50:53🔗DrewBecause you've continued to have irritated sex every day. That's ridiculous. You've got to take some warm baths and give yourself about a week break here. You've just overdone things.
51:05🔗CallerOkay. Do I put an ointment on it? No, hot baths, hot baths, hot baths, water, nothing on it.
51:11🔗DrewYeah, just hot baths and time and nothing that you're touching.
52:14🔗AdamLet me tell you something about hot chicks. Let me tell you something about hot chicks. They're rarely impressed. When you know stuff about them, they're like, you know, you get a hot chick and you're like, you're Virgo, your grandmother died on your ninth birthday, and your first car was a red 87 Toyota Tercel. They'd be like, uh-huh. So anyway. So what? Yeah, I'm hot. Of course you know about me. It's your job. I'm hot. I'm not supposed to know about you. I'm not supposed to know about wars. I'm not supposed to know about politics. I'm not supposed to know anything. You're supposed to know about me. Who's the hot one here?
52:47🔗DrewYeah. Let's see if she knew those kids that went to.
52:49🔗AdamI just want to make sure it was okay with her that you knew the place she ate breakfast today.
53:35🔗DrewI was there a lot this summer. I was there quite a bit this summer. I did not notice any more people than usual. It's always crowded in the summer.
53:42🔗CallerWell, I work in town as well. I won't say where.
53:49🔗CallerNo, no, no. But I know art. It's just a small town. It's like you live here and you don't want the tourists. But when you work there, you need them. So, it's kind of...
53:59🔗AdamAll right. Well, you need them, right? Because you work there. All right. Quit your whining there.
54:02🔗CallerDrew, she has a huge clit. She doesn't want everyone to know who she is.
54:05🔗AdamYeah. Drew, you keep... I know you're... Drew, you're so thick. The word for Drew would just be thick. Doesn't know what's going on around him. Lives in his own world of make-believe. Unicorns, rainbows, leprechauns, fairies. A poor girl. So you got a clit that looks like Fred Flintstone's thumb after he hits it with a sledgehammer.
54:31🔗AdamIt's red, it's throbbing. You're like, what's your home address? We're just sitting here out of Windraker. What's your full name, sweetie? That's what it says on your driver's license? Well, where are you working? I'm sending some folks in there tomorrow, say hi. Come on down. I don't feel bad. All right, good. She was trying to be tactful, Drew. Drew is so immersed in the Laguna Beach lifestyle. Elizabeth?
55:07🔗AdamWe're having a tough time. I'll put you on hold for a second, see if things clear up. Now gets headaches every time he chanclizes a custody 15-year-old sister. Oh, this sounds hairy. Tiffany?
55:26🔗Not much. So my question is, like last time my mom came to visit, cause my 15-year-old sister lives with me. And we live in Los Angeles and they live in Needles, California. But my mom is dating an 18-year-old who she met through my sister, cause my sister was dating him.
56:07🔗AdamI go off 100% of the time when I make that Jew call. I'm sorry. I hear mother dating an 18 year old, Needles, California, sister raising the younger sister. I think Jew.
57:25🔗AdamTiffany. Yeah. So you're living in Los Angeles. Have you noticed those freeway signs are not high on Tiffany's priority list? No. So those big freeway signs are always blank.
57:51🔗But there's one where there's an exit where it's like Culver City, two miles, something else, two miles, but it takes like two hours to get there.
58:27🔗AdamHere's the whole thing about here's why I'm tortured. I am not only sort of irritated, but out of my skin, beside myself, pissed off about things that no one else seems to notice around here.
58:41🔗DrewAnd when you try to explain it, they don't.
58:42🔗AdamThat are, in my eyes, egregious in the reason this city sucks and doesn't move. And everyone else is just a sort of brain dead lemming who's either stoned or apathetic. They're thinking about their hometown of Buffalo, New York, and they're not interested, not interested in turning right when they can turn right legally on a red, not interested in the left turn arrows that they're all dying behind, not interested in anything. Where's the outrage? Where's the indignation? We should be rising up.
59:13🔗DrewHere's a good, Tiffany's a good example of where it is. She's busy with some other stuff.
59:23🔗Well, it's like, last time my mom came down, she brought her boyfriend, she always brings them, and she goes to like, Huntington Beach all the time, and goes to punk rock shows that I went to when I was 16, at like the same venues and everything. And I already made it very clear that her and him cannot spend the night. But when she comes to visit us, she still brings him. And last time she brought him, like, I went out that night and I came home to my sister and her other friend, totally just drunk, throwing up all over, and it really, you know, affects her emotionally to where, like, she acts out in this way. And it's like, how do I tell my mom without hurting her? My mom's kind of like a child. How do I tell her that she can't bring him over anymore? That's why I'm like, I'm like an oyster and everything.
1:00:09🔗DrewTiffany, Tiffany, you treat her like a child. It's awful that you have to become the parent of your own mom, but you treat her that way. It's like, no, this is not okay. Well, it's not gonna work. You can come stay with us, but you can't-
1:00:19🔗She's kind of like excuses and manipulates, and, you know, she's asked me like a thousand times if they could spend the night and how she would rather give us the money for food and instead spend it on a motel and la da da da da.
1:00:54🔗Yeah, but it's not really the same. Same as you don't make money like everyone thinks you make money. I make $7.55 an hour. They don't make $18 unless you give them like half your life.
1:01:09🔗AdamYeah. No, you got bigger and better things. What do you want to do?
1:01:13🔗I actually want to be a kindergarten teacher.
1:01:16🔗AdamAwesome. So here's the thing, Tiffany. Your mother's a horrible mother. Otherwise, you wouldn't be raising her other daughter, right? You owe her no respect. But here's the thing, everybody. Here's what everyone does. Everyone has these horrible relationships, horrible relationships with their father, their mother, their families. Chaotic. It's horrible. It's a mess. But yet, like the siren song, they're drawn to it. It's the chaos. They're attracted to it. Here's the thing. Your mom is an alcoholic. She's a drug user.
1:01:52🔗DrewAnd by the way, don't assume she's just smoking pot and drinking. She's into it again. Big time.
1:01:56🔗AdamShe is. She's a horrible parent, even by Loveline standards. She's dating some 18 year old who's her youngest daughter's boyfriend. It got. God knows, you know, what he's a drug addict. What planet this guy's from. You owe them nothing. And you don't have to get reacquainted with them. You don't have to be courteous to them. You don't have to afford them the same respect that you would others. You owe them nothing. You're doing enough by raising her daughter.
1:02:25🔗AdamSo you go out and work hard. You set limits. You set parameters. That's it.
1:02:30🔗DrewPreserving your mother's delicate sensibilities. You're not going to hurt her. Listen, just be firm. That's all.
1:02:37🔗AdamI'm going to give everyone a sagely piece of advice. You do not need to worry about what bad people think of you. People seem to think that everyone's opinion or everyone's vote is the same. When a really good person, somebody you respect and someone you admire says, wow, that hurt me, or wow, I don't like that, or wow, you broke my heart, that's something you should listen to. When a drug abuser, horrible parent, abusive parent, whatever, out of hand neighbor, whatever, abusive boss, whoever it is, if you don't like them or they're not treating you right or they've done you wrong and they don't like you, good.
1:03:19🔗DrewBut not just the like or dislike part, don't worry about preserving their delicate sensibilities. They need, by the way, you're helping them when you contain them.
1:03:27🔗DrewThey can't contain themselves, fine, you put the limits up.
1:03:29🔗AdamPeople don't understand the difference between Gandhi and Hitler, it's like they're both human beings and I don't want to disappoint either one of them. You should hope that bad people don't like you. I like the fact that a lot of who I've labeled A-holes don't like me. I'm fine with that. You should strive for that.
1:03:46🔗DrewSpeaking of A-holes, you see where you made the clip of the week on The Soup with Steve-O?
1:03:52🔗AdamNo, my wife told me something about that. Was there some sort of weekly something?
1:03:57🔗DrewThe Soup, yeah, just as a review of the talk show stuff.
1:04:03🔗DrewWe did it. We hosted it. It used to be called Talk Soup.
1:04:06🔗AdamYou remember how much trouble we got doing that?
1:04:10🔗DrewWe've had the host, the current host up here a bunch, just a couple of times.
1:04:12🔗AdamWe, Drew and I, hosted Talk Soup one time. I think Jimmy and I hosted it one time. Maybe I did it alone, or maybe we did it, maybe we've done it three times, but anyway. Drew and I, we did it the one time, right? You and I. And do you remember that? Do you remember why they got PO'd at me?
1:04:29🔗DrewBecause you wouldn't read the prompter.
1:04:31🔗AdamBut do you remember the week leading up into that?
1:04:35🔗DrewWhere they wouldn't send you the scripts and stuff? No.
1:04:38🔗AdamRemember the part where I said, just clear the prompter. I'm not going to read the teleprompter.
1:04:45🔗AdamPut the beats in. Just put the story and put the time and we'll riff and then we'll throw it to the next clip. Instead, let me tell you something about Talk Soup or now Soup Now. It is a thesaurus worth of words just streaming past. I mean, they write it out and it's good writing.
1:05:05🔗AdamBut they write it verbatim. They write it word for word and they write it well. It doesn't work when two people try to face each other and say, you know, hey, Drew, but what about this? And then turn back and look at the camera and then look back and say, are you crazy? I disagree. Because the prompt, there's just, and then when you look at it, for me, especially, you know, when you read at a fourth grade level.
1:05:25🔗DrewBack then, your reading wasn't as good as it is now.
1:05:27🔗AdamYeah, I probably read at a second grade level back then. When I look at the prompt, believe me, back then, there were, you know, Japanese zygotes that could read better than I. I would look at the prompt there and just see a sea of words. And now I wasn't sure what clip to throw it to or whatever it was. So we told them, I told them three days in advance, I'm not going to read the prompt or put the beats in. Just put the clips in, put the big beats and we'll throw it to, you know, boom, boom. Did it called on the way in and told them to clear the prompt there. Now then we sat down, Jumbotron full of the stuff.
1:06:04🔗DrewI remember going into the, so make of them going, well, here it is. It's like, we told you, oh, it'll be fine. Just here it is, here it is. It's like, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, here, here, here.
1:06:12🔗AdamRight. And you went, clear the prompt there. So then we sat down, they didn't clear the prompt there. We tried to muddle through the whole thing, but we couldn't find out what the next clip was and what the time was. I think at the very end somebody said, why don't we just clear everything out but the time in the next clip? And that way these guys can do their beats and throw it to the clip. And I had the, like, the temerity, the audacity, or the nerve after a thing to say, why didn't you guys just do this the four times I told you to do it before I got here? We could have got through this an hour faster. And they're like, whoa, wow, what was that?
1:06:52🔗AdamOh my god, it was an attack. It's like I took a folding chair and just took a swing at somebody. It was like, oh, this guy's a problem now. Drew, what is that? People want apologies now. Somebody wanted an apology. The feelings were hurt. Just do what I told you to do. All right. Drew, but can I get a witness?
1:07:14🔗DrewIs that not this town, though? Just summarize everything that goes on here.
1:07:18🔗AdamYou tell someone to do something 140 times, the 145th time you raise your voice, they're like, whoa, now I'm not going to stay if you're going to be abusive.
1:08:01🔗AdamYeah, Loveline, I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191-er. I'm gonna talk to Elizabeth, whose fiance passed away two weeks before their wedding. Wants to hook up with dad?
1:08:31🔗AdamAnd every year, it just comes down to this stuff where their whole mood, everything is sort of based on what goes on. And of course, it's hard to get work done because they're obsessed. You know, the game's going on. Now, here's the thing, football's played on a Sunday. Nobody ever misses any work on a Sunday afternoon. Baseball, it's all week, it's all day, it's all whatever. The Sox game's on at four in the afternoon, three in the afternoon, one in the afternoon, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, games on. When you're obsessed with it, are you kidding me? You think you can just go to work? Or you think once you're at work, you can just work? You can't do it.
1:09:10🔗AdamNow, I'm watching the football games, I'm watching the Raiders game, and I've seen playing half the goddamn game is played on the infield now. It's all in the dirt, it's all in the diamond. You know, this is that time of the football season when the baseball season is still going on, even though the A's have been eliminated. And I'm watching Oakland play at home, and every single thing takes place on the infield, because the infield runs right through the middle of the field and right between like the 30-yard lines and right in the middle of the-
1:09:37🔗DrewAre there any cities that still have it?
1:09:39🔗AdamAre you kidding? Half of them are that way. Still run around on the dirt. And I think to myself, how much baseball do we need? 163 games. You can't settle it in 100. We couldn't figure out who the best team was in 100 games. It's got to bleed in and ruin the sanctity of the nobility and the beauty of football with this crappy baseball and everyone with their obsessions and the rotisserie leagues. Now I got guys who can't come to Jimmy's house and watch the game today, the die-hard football fans because the Sox are playing today, because the Yankees are playing, you understand? There's baseball going on today.
1:10:20🔗AdamWell, over at Jimmy's house, we're going to watch nine football games. They're scared they're not going to have time with their beloved Sox, beloved Yankees, beloved fill-in-the-blanks. So now there's a game on Sunday, so they have to stay home and watch that and can't socialize with us, because really 162, 163 games, really? Each game has to count for less than one. Couldn't we just do it 100? What other sport do we need more than 100?
1:10:46🔗DrewBut it's not, it's about the whole experience of going out in the park and blah, blah, blah.
1:10:50🔗AdamI'm tired of it. I'm tired of baseball. I'm tired of people talking about it. It's a pussy sport. It's enough. It's enough already. God, please, I can't take it. I work with Sox fanatics, and it's the same. They live and they die. They're depressed. You can't talk to them. You know, oh, God forbid they lose or they get eliminated or something. Oh, well, they're not going to be right for a few weeks. It's just like working with a bunch of moody alcoholics. It's like having your dad, you know, when you go in and ask for a raise in your allowance. I don't think so. He just got fired and he's sitting in his boobs pretty good. I'm not going in there. It's good times. How far does baseball season need to bleed into football season?
1:11:52🔗CallerWe don't know exactly. They just found him on a couch and he had gone and they did an autopsy. They came back with nothing, essentially. They told us it was a seizure disorder, although he'd never had a seizure in his life. He's 24 years old and perfectly healthy.
1:12:11🔗DrewWas he drinking or doing drugs or anything?
1:12:13🔗CallerNo, he didn't drink, didn't do drugs or anything.
1:12:41🔗DrewRight. This is a seizure related phenomenon that they say, and how the hell they knew that. It's very bizarre because you can have seizures from low oxygen to your brain caused by heart problems and other things. So it's weird that they would conclude seizure and then not give you a cause for the seizure and then for seizureing to be severe enough to be the primary issue to causing death, they have to be severe. That usually seizures don't hurt people.
1:13:05🔗CallerIt's been very difficult to accept that answer. There's really nothing we can do about it.
1:13:44🔗AdamOh, two weeks before you were going to get married to him.
1:13:49🔗DrewContrary to all what you see on TV and the CSIs and all that stuff, sometimes you want to hire a private pathologist to do an autopsy, because corners aren't what you're watching on CSI Miami. They ain't. They're not.
1:14:04🔗AdamNo. I mean, the morbidly obese folks with the crazy nationalities who don't give a rat's ass. They're not doing a great job.
1:14:10🔗DrewYou have to do 400 autopsies a month and...
1:14:12🔗AdamHave a pile of junkies stacked up behind this guy.
1:14:20🔗AdamInteresting. Well, he's already been put to the ground. But it's too late, yeah.
1:14:24🔗DrewI don't even want to mention it, because I don't want to make Elizabeth feel bad. But it's fine. It wouldn't change anything. So what...
1:14:30🔗AdamWhenever they exhum a body, they're always surprised at how remarkable, remarkably intact the body is. And I'm just saying, eventually you should stop being surprised. Evidently, bodies do okay in their casket. Whenever I see those autopsy shows, they're always like, we exhumed the body three years later and found that there was still quite, quite a amount of tissue and blah, blah, blah. It doesn't look pretty, but I mean, you can get some information.
1:15:01🔗DrewWow. Oof. All right. What's your question for us?
1:15:04🔗CallerWell, my question is that ever since then, I've been obsessing about his father and sleeping with his father. And I'm not really sure how to approach this or what to do if this is something I should act on or I'm just gonna keep thinking about it until I approach him with this or I'm really not sure what to do.
1:15:24🔗AdamWho are you approaching? You said you've been sleeping with him.
1:16:05🔗DrewThis whole thing could be Germany or Florida.
1:16:07🔗AdamLet us convene here for a second. What a shocker in a Florida jail. Yeah. I'm surprised they even have prisons in Florida. I mean, all the upstanding citizens over there.
1:16:18🔗DrewIt's just a home for wayward parents. Let me get back with Lizbeth.
1:16:28🔗DrewLizbeth, forgive us for finding it bizarre that you would even contemplate. It's one thing to have this obsession and to sort of want to somehow touch in some way the memory of your boyfriend. I mean, all right, whatever. But it's bizarre that you would even contemplate acting upon these bizarre impulses.
1:16:45🔗CallerWell, I don't necessarily want to. I just want to know, to find out what is gonna be the best thing for me to get over this.
1:18:33🔗CallerHe had recently graduated from college and gotten a pretty good job and-
1:18:38🔗AdamWow. So are you going to get some money?
1:18:43🔗CallerI don't know. It's looking like I'm not going to because my name wasn't on anything, which that's fine with me. I'm not after the money.
1:18:51🔗DrewAll right, Elizabeth, here's the deal. It takes months, if not years, to get over something like this and by sort of clinging to any vestige of what exists of him now is not going to help. It just actually makes things worse. If you're having trouble getting depressed, if you're in trouble grieving effectively, A, check with the local hospitals, see if there are any grieving groups that you can get associated with, or B, get a private therapist to kind of help deal with this. Your thinking is off on all this stuff.
1:19:16🔗DrewIt's not a horrible way, but just off.
1:19:18🔗AdamWell, chicks especially, but guys do this too. When this kind of tragedy strikes, they can just seek sort of a shelter of relief in pretty bizarre ports.
1:19:30🔗DrewYes, absolutely. Whether it's drugs and alcohol, or relationships that are just basically life preservers, whatever, people will do that.
1:19:38🔗AdamI think it's funny that she should confront him with this.
1:19:41🔗DrewThere's a bogus quality to that call, by the way.
1:19:57🔗AdamThe guy at Hickory Farms who's given out the samples of the kielbasa, he doesn't have to confront you. You walk over and go grab, and he has to tell you, limit yourself to four, would you, Porko? There's other people in the mall that like to get a little smoked sausage loaf in them, if you don't mind. So here's the thing, it's not a sample. It's not a sample if you eat enough to actually make an entire kielbasa.
1:20:16🔗DrewIt's not a sample then. It's a kielbasa.
1:20:18🔗AdamIt's a kielbasa that you broke in 133 pieces. All right, what happened to free samples?
1:20:24🔗DrewGone, gone the way of the dodo, I tell you.
1:20:26🔗AdamI'll tell you the way the dodo is gone the way of the dodo. That's right. You don't even hear about that anymore. Yeah, there's about the only thing you could look forward to going to the mall for, some free samples. They don't have that anymore. Where's Hickory Farms?
1:20:41🔗DrewOh, I don't think that exists anymore.
1:20:43🔗AdamEverything's mail order. Now you just got to go there and sit around. Look at the cheap tennis shoes, bookstores and tennis shoes, and then those crazy places that are just nothing but places to put pictures. The weird things with picture go rounds and wallet size, whatever. You always wonder, what are you doing selling drugs out of here? Well, you're keeping this place afloat. Jeff?
1:21:11🔗Oh, I'm sorry. I was watching Platoon. Great movie.
1:21:15🔗AdamYou're watching Platoon? Yes. Wow, that's a good movie. Yeah, it's very intense.
1:21:22🔗Actually, BS, to get my way in, I wanted to ask about TB. I just got a TB test. I'm sorry about lying and everything, but...
1:21:30🔗AdamYeah, I don't care. You got tuberculosis?
1:21:32🔗DrewWhat about the TB test? Pardon? Yeah, what about it?
1:21:36🔗Okay, I got a TB test on like last Monday, and it came out, and it had a big, about the size of a quarter, and it sent me to go get an x-ray on my chest. I mean, what is the percentage that I might have TB?
1:21:49🔗DrewOh, very low, but you're gonna need treatment for about six months with antibiotics, because if you get re-exposed to TB, or if you ever get any conditions that suppress your immune system, then the TB activates. So you have to take antibiotics for about six months.
1:22:00🔗AdamSo tuberculosis is still around, but it's treatable.
1:22:04🔗DrewYeah, there's some resistances, but it's around big time. Not just kind of, boy, when I was in training, it was huge for a while there, but it's still very much around. And if you get a positive skin test-
1:22:16🔗DrewYeah, we can deal with it now. But the problem is that it can really get gone and do some damage before you really realize you have it. It's sort of a subacute illness.
1:22:23🔗AdamAnd you say do some damage to your bronchial system?
1:22:26🔗DrewYou can destroy lung, you can destroy kidney, you can do a lot of different things.
1:22:28🔗AdamOh, really? Oh, TB, first rate. We'll take ourselves a little break, whether or not the circumcised kid when born risked chose 19 and got himself a new kid. Take a quick break, we'll be right back after this. Yeah, Loveline and Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Back to the phones we go. Speaking to Joe, who's 19, Joe.
1:23:24🔗CallerHey. Hi, Joe. Joe. Yeah. I'm 19. I just got married. We're expecting a child. And the dilemma is she does not want it to be circumcised. However, I'm kind of for it. I was just curious as to maybe your views on that, like possible health issues.
1:23:46🔗DrewYeah. You know, there's constantly accumulating data about the health benefits of circumcision. Now, if you don't want to do it, whatever. But there's no case of being out there.
1:23:57🔗DrewBut it's numbed up now. The kids don't feel it. My son is 12. Was like going, was watching a show about it going, Oh my God. You mean parents don't do that? How do you do if you have trouble later? I mean, just the way anybody else would react to it. It's like, you know, it's like he's going, Hey, I'm mad at you for having done this to me. He doesn't remember it. Are you kidding?
1:24:14🔗AdamJoe, just listen to the Ace man here. It's no big deal either way. But if it's 55 to 45, just do the 55.
1:24:25🔗AdamSee what I'm saying? You know, people get in arguments and it becomes 90, 10. And then everyone knows that's not true. There are small advantages to being circumcised. And that's all the reason you need to do it.
1:24:39🔗DrewThere's no cases of penile cancer, less warts.
1:24:45🔗DrewAnd I'm reading something from a treatment action campaign. This is an AIDS activist group saying that male circumcision is the best available vaccine against AIDS virus. In other words, just having the circumcision reduces the risk of transmission of viruses like that.
1:25:00🔗AdamWell, the best way not to transmit AIDS is to never get AIDS in the first place, so I'll tell you what right now. I'll tell you, I'll tell you, the only sure way to not get a sexually transmitted disease.
1:25:15🔗AdamThank you. That is some awesome stuff. Like, you know, it was funny, I was having a laugh about it because I was over at Jimmy's watching the ball game, watching the 400 football games that I, and his brother came up to me and said, hey, Adam, yeah, I got a bunch of tree sap all over my car windshield. I don't want to know what's the best product to get that out. I'm like Pops Corolla everywhere. You know, everyone has asked my advice. And I said to him, the best way to get tree sap off your windshield is never to get it on there at all.
1:25:49🔗DrewAnd I thought he stood there and took that, of course.
1:25:52🔗AdamYeah, I was just being an idiot. But I realized if you take this, you know, when people do it about sex and abstinence and AIDS and venereal disease and seatbelts and all that stuff, you don't tell them to shut up. But when you apply to anything else like tree sap, your best way to get that off your windshield, not to ever have it get on there. Thanks, Dilweed. Thanks, Dick. That's awesome. Now what?
1:26:17🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, thanks. All right. So go ahead and get to circumcision. Let's see. Where are we? You know, I would have thought, Drew, that if you would have asked people 20 years ago, maybe, well, let's just say 20 years ago, you know, in, you know, well, because 20 years ago it was all that, well, Europeans, you know, they're so much smarter than we are. They're so much more involved than we are. No, that was 30 years ago. But between 20 and 30 years ago, I remember lots of debates raging on 20 years ago about circumcision and that kind of stuff. And the Europeans are so much more involved than we are. And they don't do it. So we shouldn't do it. And law sensation and guys trying to get their foreskins restored, they're going to put weights on them and all this kind of stuff. And by the year 2000 or 2005, what percentage of American males will be circumcised? I think you would have guessed it was much lower than it is. As it turns out, it's probably gone back the other way a little bit, or who the hell knows, but either way, people I think 20 years ago or even 25, 30 years ago, thought it would just be there'd be no more circumcision.
1:27:30🔗DrewWe'd get rid of it, yeah. But now it's becoming something that there's an imperative worldwide to do because of all the STDs.
1:28:31🔗AdamYeah, but it's not even focused or anything. It's just the way he is. It's like a vertical leap or male pattern baldness all just dealt out by the big jokester upstairs. Here's the thing, Grace. You want him to go in other positions?
1:29:44🔗DrewSounds like she wants to switch it around.
1:29:45🔗AdamI see. Yeah. He should be able to mix that up. I think the condom may be the problem. Also, though, I'm telling you, fellas, get used to beating off in a million different positions. I'll tie myself in a pretzel and squeeze one off just for training, just to keep my edge.
1:30:03🔗DrewOf course. You're well known for that.
1:30:05🔗AdamI've shown one leg. I could do it standing on my head, but I gotta really tell you, I gotta really warn you against that. Really warn you against that. Really. And if you're going to do it standing on your head, do not do it with the ceiling fan on, because...
1:30:53🔗CallerWell, my question is, I guess the only way for me to orgasm is to think of really violent thoughts.
1:31:03🔗DrewYeah. The obvious question would be, is there violence been something very attractive to you for some reason?
1:31:08🔗CallerYou know, I don't know. I mean, I've had, I listen to you guys all the time. I don't think I've had any sort of violence like to happen to me when I was younger. But the other thing is I've also had like just cocaine addiction issues and like eating disorder issues.
1:31:26🔗DrewHave you ever been opiate addicted like painkillers?
1:31:31🔗AdamWell, so no one was there violent with you?
1:31:35🔗CallerI had a boyfriend, but that was, I mean, it came in at one, but it wasn't before that.
1:31:41🔗DrewIt all, to me, just sort of suggests that you need very high levels of arousal in order to feel sexual. That for some reason, when people are abused, traumatized in some way, they're sort of arousal centers. Think of it as them being sort of burned out, that they don't function as well. In order to feel aroused, you have to get this excess stimulation going. One of the ways people do that is through violence or S&M, that kind of thing.
1:32:28🔗AdamAll right. But look, here's the thing, everybody. When you screw up, when you make a mistake, don't just start sliding with it. Stop. It's fine.
1:32:35🔗DrewThanksgiving Center must screw up your family gatherings. Right.
1:32:39🔗AdamTake a quick break. Be right back after this. Hey, yo! What's up? Well, that's it. Alright. Jenna Fischer's in here tomorrow night.
1:33:07🔗DrewFrom the office. The only show that I've seen that I love that Adam has not seen.
1:33:10🔗AdamI hear nothing but fantastic things about the show.
1:33:13🔗DrewNothing but fantastic things to say about it.
1:33:15🔗AdamAnd Disturbed will be in here on Tuesday night. And until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew saying, mahalo.
1:33:23🔗CallerThis has been Loveline. The opinions expressed in this show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors, or this station. The producer for Loveline is Aningold. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
