1:08🔗VoiceoverListener discretion is advised. This is Loveline. Loveline, Loveline, Loveline, Loveline, with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew.
1:22🔗AdamYeah. Yeah. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1, Dr. Drew. Board Certified Physician, Dictionary Medicine Specialist.
1:33🔗DrewI see blue, Adam. Blue. Orange. Orange. Orange. Something orange.
1:36🔗AdamWell, here's the thing. I like... We were laughing about psychics last night, what idiots they all are, but I like when they make these matters of... They make these statements like they're fact. Ladies have an orange-ish-red aura and men is bluish-green. Oh, okay. Let me... Which color was the male one again? Yeah, look out for that. Yeah. I always like the bad analogy about stuff that doesn't work, too. When they do... Well, when somebody has a pseudoscience...
2:14🔗AdamYeah. You know, like when a ship goes into the ocean and it displaces a certain amount of water, that amount can't weigh more than the actual weight of the ship or the ship will sink? Your aura is the same way. Like, you're like, huh? Okay. Yeah. The first one was something...
2:35🔗AdamRight. But if they marry it, if they marry it to your aura, if they marry something that's logical to some crappy piece of pseudoscience, you just go wrong.
3:07🔗AdamChris Angel in here last night. Nice guy. Mind Freak came in here. At a certain point, Drew and I came back from one of our many potty breaks. You're going to be in for a treat tonight, by the way, because I ate asparagus tonight, and it does not take a psychic to realize I did it once I whizz up that urinal, Drew. You were going to smell it. Pungent, pungent. Yeah. Well, he came back. He had four forks that looked like he dug them up from a Civil War graveyard. These things were made out of, like, pot tin. They weighed less than plastic forks, but they were metal. And he had the three of them just sort of sitting out. He goes, hey, I got these forks. Go ahead. Watch this. And he starts shaking it. And I'm like, well, where'd you get these forks? Oh, I brought them with me. But they're no different than any ones you would find on a hole. He's a nice guy to want to say, like, well, if you bring the fork with you, it doesn't really count.
4:16🔗AdamMy forks are made of steel. My forks are stainless steel. These are mostly lead with a little paste and just a drop of semen. Here's the thing. If you come to my house, I open my fork drawer, pull out the bottom fork, set it on top of the counter and you bend it. That's something.
4:58🔗AdamLet me prove to you I'm the world's greatest blackjack player by using my own deck of nothing but kings and aces. Can I please? Oh, we have to use your deck? Well, now I'm insulted. Game off. Yeah. Anytime someone brings their own fork to Ben, maybe something up.
6:24🔗Well, okay. I've been married for four years. We've been together five years.
6:29🔗AdamI stopped at the generic fork store on the way. He really should embellish that story. I stopped at the all steel generic fork store on the way in and bought four random forks. Now, let me show you this trick as you should do it. Okay. Melissa, let's walk.
9:27🔗AdamI don't like the way this relationship is going.
9:30🔗DrewNo, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't say that.
9:32🔗AdamI'm not going to tell him to get the force.
9:34🔗DrewJust, just, I don't like the fact that he won't answer your simple questions about his bizarre behavior and then he puts you on the defensive. That's not fair. It's not playing fair. Tell him it's not fair. It is bizarre. You've talked to us. Come on. What's the deal?
9:59🔗AdamOkay, here's the thing, everybody. When you have kids, you have to get along with your partner. You don't have to get along with your partner because you love your partner. You have to get along with your partner because you love your kids. You owe it to your kids to get along with your partner.
10:12🔗DrewYeah. And then you'll love your partner. You know what I mean?
10:15🔗AdamYeah. Whatever it takes to kickstart you in the right direction, just do it. Decide.
10:21🔗DrewLet's put it in a more glamorous terms. You have an obligation to pay attention to that relationship. Make it work. On behalf of your kids, you have to give it what it needs and be dedicated to it in order to make it work.
10:35🔗AdamI would say this to Drew. What do you think of this? There's two guys. One black, one white. Both racists. Oh yes, you can be a black racist. Look at Spike Lee. You both hate each other, just naturally. But you're huge Pistons fans. You both love the Pistons. You love the NBA Pistons. So you show up to a couple of games and you sit next to each other. The next thing you know, you're cheering when your team makes a basket. Then the next thing you know, you have such a great love for this third object that you're able to sort of get past whatever differences you have. Can't you treat that kids that way?
11:14🔗DrewIt's a beautiful way to describe a marriage. You start out hating each other.
11:16🔗AdamYou're Charles Heston, he's Spike Lee, but you love this country. Can you get past it?
12:34🔗AdamNow Drew's going to start asking addiction questions, which will be a little bit offensive because your dad has passed on. I know Drew's thinking crack pipe blew up and tore a lung.
13:45🔗AdamYou're going to have to live with this woman, raise a family with this woman, do all these things with this woman. Okay. Would you take a woman that was molested one time? Now, just listen.
14:32🔗AdamNo. Versus Aquaman. Versus a chick whose dad moved out, abandoned her, started a new family, maybe sent a little Barbie Dream Van or something on Christmas, but essentially it was clear to the girl that daddy had a new wife, daddy had a new family, daddy seemed to be doing pretty good with that new family, and daddy would send a card every once in a while.
15:05🔗AdamAlso, Drew being a passionate, passionate man, you don't want someone who's going to break on you in the bedroom. Drew needs a nice sturdy vagina to attack on a nightly basis. He don't want you crying in there.
15:26🔗AdamIt can, but I don't know. Does the chick ever get over it? The other one whose daddy moved out and did that stuff. The other one's just a one time.
15:35🔗DrewYou're in for a world of hurt as the guy because you're going to pay for dad's abandoning behaviors. You're going to pay.
15:42🔗AdamLet me put this out there. I say the molestation thing shows up in the bedroom every once in a while, but in general you have a better relationship than the one whose daddy abandoned did the whatever.
16:18🔗DrewWell, you need to have an evaluation. This could all be just the difficulty of vulnerability of intimacy and sort of sabotaging that by cheating or- Were you sexually abused or anything?
16:55🔗OK. Well, also, also, I just recently, just last week, I started taking this medication with my mom. But I've been taking it. It's called Lareza Pam.
17:12🔗DrewSo you're getting addicted to that, too. So we got addiction. We got trauma. We got the trifecta.
17:17🔗AdamHere's the good news. Most people bottom out at 24, 25. You'll be bottoming out at 16 and a half. And then you can clean yourself up and write a book.
17:31🔗AdamWell, here's the thing about the Saras of the world. You think the Saras of the world are bad when they're doing drugs and boozing and banging everybody. Way do they sober up and get all righteous on your ass. That's when we really start paying.
17:45🔗AdamThat's what we're going to do. Yes, they get the law degree and they become the feminist attorney. And now we're all left. Change your name with Gloria. Close your eyes. Is there a Gloria you've ever liked? Anyone named Gloria? Everyone close your eyes. Anyone named Gloria you've ever liked? No good Glorias. No? All right.
18:22🔗Okay. Well, I've been dating my boyfriend for like about a month now and we just recently started having sex and his penis is really dark and compared to the rest of his body, he's really pale. And like I just wanted to know, is there like anything he can do to make it lighter, like a cream he could put on it or anything?
18:43🔗AdamWell, first off, I don't think you can ever be too rich or your penis can be too tan. That's number one.
19:24🔗AdamYeah, we don't do that. You poor kids, you grow up today. When I grew up, it was all that. They sell enough macaroni that if you put it end to end, it would or you could stack these books and they would reach to the moon or you would. Everything was reaching and stacking and laying out and there's none of that anymore. We could go around the globe eight times. We circle the globe. We have a lot of globe circling going on. Nothing anymore.
19:56🔗AdamRight. Well, here's what it is. You make it around the globe in 26,000 miles and the average guy who does sales on the road drives 42,000 miles a year, so it's not so impressive. And you're not actually circling the globe. You're going from the Northridge area into the New Hall Saugus area 1,400 times.
20:16🔗DrewThat's why circling the globe is not as exciting as circling the globe. Let's talk to Michelle in the dark penis here.
20:40🔗DrewAnd when you get a circumcision, things pigment around there. When you have irritation or you monkey with yourself a little bit, you can pigment or depigment. And it's sensitive skin, so it has a tendency to sort of form or lose pigment.
21:41🔗AdamWith the two black eyes and the pointy thing. And then you'd have like the grand wizard that'd be the red one. Clan condom. Write that down. The point of the hood is the reservoir.
21:57🔗AdamStrong stuff. Someone must have come up with this. This is going to be huge. This would be huge in the South. I go down to the rallies. I sell these babies. Awesome stuff. Good gag for any of the brothers had a good sense of humor, too. You know?
22:39🔗AdamAll right. Listen, Bo guy, let me. OK, do I have to? You know what? You kids make me sick. Do I have to explain to you the Geneva Convention of Bogus Calls?
22:50🔗DrewWe mentioned Bogus three times to her and she.
22:52🔗AdamWell, we said someone was on the other line, and I guess her friends as an Anderson picked up on that. Here is the only way this can continue. If we call Bogus, you have to fess up. It is no different than the fish out of water in the Marco Polo or, as we now know it, Adam Corolla pool game.
23:13🔗DrewThe games are fun if you cheat. They lose their meaning.
23:21🔗AdamI think we have lost that meaning in this culture and this society.
23:24🔗DrewYeah, it's all about winning no matter what.
23:26🔗AdamThere used to be a time where if you were going to participate in a marathon and you cut the track in half and came in first, it not only didn't mean anything, but you would be disgraced.
23:39🔗AdamNobody would do it because it didn't mean anything to them. Therefore, why would you do it now? You just want to, you want that picture of you coming in first. So sad, Drew. Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy and sad.
24:23🔗All right. A man was standing at the edge of a cliff and he was urinating. And it was during a thunderstorm and a bolt a bolt of lightning struck the urine and caused his penis to explode.
24:43🔗AdamThat is awesome. Hang on. I think it's bogus, but it sounds awesome.
24:48🔗DrewIt sounds awesome. Yeah. But things, weird stuff happens, so we'll see.
24:53🔗AdamAnd you may be saying, well, why would a guy be urinating off a cliff? Oh, believe me, if I have my brothers, I wish I just lived like a cave Indian in Pueblo, Colorado. I'd take a leak off that cliff every goddamn day.
26:26🔗AdamBack it up, or I will drop some trowel, lady. This close to dropping trowel. 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1 is the phone number. We'll finish up with Young Kyle, who is 17. Kyle.
28:19🔗AdamOkay, retell the Germany or Florida story, please.
28:23🔗CallerAll right. A man was standing at the top of a cliff urinating during a thunderstorm. A bolt of lightning hit his urine and caused his penis to explode.
28:34🔗Yeah, I heard this on the drive over. I don't believe it for a second, but I don't either.
29:00🔗But we can't talk about it in the air. Yeah.
29:03🔗AdamWe're asked by the Hitler Sympathizers not to speak about it on the air. But here's the whole thing. I don't think they have cliffs in Florida. Do they have cliffs in Florida?
29:21🔗CallerGermany. But then since this is an imaginary story.
29:23🔗DrewBut if it were really, you would have heard about it if it happened in Florida.
29:26🔗CallerYou know what? Whenever I'm listening, I always think that. And then people say Florida. I read 11 newspapers a day. I have 10 guys that are reading the paper looking for interesting things. And somehow your callers get hold of these incredible stories from Florida.
29:39🔗AdamAnd this is the genesis of Germany or Florida. Jimmy Schreiner sitting around the table. All right. I'm going to Germany. I'm going to Germany too.
30:10🔗AdamAll right. It's great to get into something an old Jew gets when you're 17. I know. I know you're on top of your game. It really makes... What can you look forward to?
30:18🔗DrewIn medical school, they used to train us to do like the four Fs of gallbladder disease. Fat, flatulent, 40, female.
30:37🔗AdamGod, hell. How does this work? What are you going to do?
30:41🔗DrewNo, wait. How did you end up with that kind of bothers me?
30:45🔗CallerI don't know how I got it but I discovered it because I was getting really sick in the mornings. I would just feel so sick that I would vomit even.
31:19🔗CallerYeah, they did do that but that was a different thing.
31:22🔗AdamI have a theory about that. I think his boyfriend, Huey Lewis, was sucking on it shortly before he performed fellatio on Jimmy and spit the Wilma into Jimmy's urethra. How else could have gotten it?
32:02🔗AdamWhat about this for a contest? Flintstone Vitamins. One... There will be one out of all... They'd still make Flintstone Vitamins, right? One will be made out of a hard, non-digestible plastic that will come out in its full form in the stool. That... The person that...
32:20🔗AdamEats that... Well, no, because it goes in. It has to go in as one of the characters, Barney or Flintstone or Wilma or Fred or whoever. But that is the golden one. And when that one comes through, you are entitled to one million dollars. So every kid is gobbling these things up and then checking their stool.
32:38🔗CallerAnd then the kid that chokes it, then his parents get to collect a million dollars.
32:42🔗AdamWell, if in fact it works that way. But I think we could make something. You do swallow the or you chew them.
32:51🔗CallerWhat you do is you make the one the one vitamin looks exactly and is made of exactly the same material as all the other vitamins. People never know if they want it or not.
33:04🔗AdamBetter write that down. Jimmy, write that down. Go back in your car. Write that down.
33:08🔗CallerI have to go to the bathroom. I'm sorry to interrupt the show.
34:01🔗Well, I've gone to counseling most of my life and everything. So I don't know. But I can't even really.
34:08🔗DrewWell, you sound, you know, the feeling we get from you is not that of somebody who's been severely abused or abandoned. So the counseling seems to have sort of had some effect on you. The sort of the last stage of that sort of healing process is being able to tolerate close relationships. The proximity of other minds is what's difficult for people when they've been let down.
34:28🔗AdamBut Sarah, you're working on it. You're 20. You're making headway.
34:31🔗CallerYeah, like, and I guess I'd like to say I'm kind of making headway, but it really...
34:39🔗CallerStuff like that, but I just like, I am also like just, I can handle guy friends and stuff like that, but then they usually end up pinning on me or something. And then just, then...
34:49🔗DrewWhy don't you kind of force yourself into a relationship? The great thing about, about that is that 20 years, there's a natural biological drive you can kind of go with, you know, there's not an aversion necessarily automatically. It's just something you can kind of latch on to, but you got to be willing to do it and kind of take yourself in.
35:05🔗AdamWell, here's the thing. There's a few things I want to talk about. One is sort of forcing yourself to act as if, Drew and I spoke about this earlier in the week, half, half of life is sort of working things out in your head, getting things, getting your head on straight emotionally. And then the other half is just moving forward and doing it.
35:24🔗DrewRight. I mean, that's an important part. If you don't do it, what the hell?
35:28🔗AdamYou could be the world's laziest person. But if the alarm went off every morning at 6 45, you got up, took a shower and went to work, you would not be the world's laziest person. You could always feel like the world's laziest person. In your heart of hearts, you could have that. And you could have been that in the past. But as long as your attendance record at work is perfect, you're not the world's laziest person. I don't know if you're actually still that person. If we cut you open and dissected you, if you would bleed lazy. But either way, you're showing up at 7.30 at the job and that's all you need to know.
35:59🔗DrewTake Sir in his example. With her letting herself get into a relationship, she'll still be uncomfortable and miserable and sort of have difficulty with it. But she'll gain a facility with it.
36:09🔗AdamAnd the more you do it, the easier it gets.
36:11🔗DrewThat's the point, the facility. It would be easier for her.
36:13🔗AdamRight. So just do it. And the other thing too about therapy is it's sort of like weight loss, which is when you're paying attention, nothing seems to happen. It's when you just go through it, you stick with it, but you don't think about it too much. And then all of a sudden, a few months goes by and you've shed 18 pounds. But when you're just sort of weighing yourself and staring at the scale for an hour every day, it never seems to move. And I guess everything's that way. But I think therapy is sort of that way too. I think when you just sort of do it, it'll happen and it'll evolve. But when you really focus on it, you don't seem to be getting anywhere. I don't know why life has to be so ungratifying in that way. Why can't, you know, why couldn't you just think, concentrate really hard and lose 5 pounds in 20 minutes? Angela?
37:04🔗CallerWell, this is for Dr. Drew. I just was recently diagnosed. They did a bunch of tests on me and I was diagnosed that there's, there's a parasite inside of me that's eating away at the insides, which is causing me to bleed. They thought it was an IUD because I had that in there for a few years. Then I started, they said it was my body rejecting it and that it was cutting into my insides. But I think now because of that, there's some kind of parasite in there that's still causing me to bleed. I've been bleeding for four months. I'm just not sure what kind of parasite it is because my doctor really hasn't told me anything about it.
38:19🔗DrewYou pass pieces of the tapeworm every once in a while.
38:21🔗AdamLet me say this. There's a lot of stuff in this country that we don't have that we should have.
38:26🔗DrewThat we, because we don't have, because we're industrialized, we have antibiotics and things.
38:30🔗AdamI know, but I still love that idea of somebody pulling an eight-foot tapeworm out of them that's been, you know, they've been a host to for 20 years. And I like the idea, and I like fireworks. You know, there's a few things I like that we don't really get over here. You know what I like to do? I like to section off one part of this country just to be a third world that we could go visit, like a petting zoo. You know what I mean?
39:15🔗AdamYou know there's a thing about Nevada, not tropical enough. I think it's got some heat over there, but maybe too much. I don't know if some of these parasites would flourish. Here's my point.
39:27🔗AdamWe take, and we're almost there with Florida anyway. Might as well just finish the job. We take a state. Maybe even it's just, you know what, Drew, I'm being too tough with the state thing. It's probably too lofty a goal. We take a city in a state, take like Tallahassee or something, we clear it out. Then we bring in all the people from around the world with the elephantiasis and the tapeworms and all the parasites and the crazy stuff with the goiters and the gross and all the crap. We bring in the animals and the killer bees and the cockroaches. There's big as a shoe box and water moccasins. It becomes a third world amusement park. You know why we go? You know why we tour? We tour through it like a country, like you tour kids through a prison in scared straight. You'll go home and kiss the ground. You can't believe how happy you are to live in this wonderful country now.
40:20🔗DrewIt'll be like a wild animal park, but it'll be a third world wild park.
40:24🔗AdamYou'll tour through it and it'll go through. It'll have the brutal dictatorships, you know, mass graves and guys with mustaches holding shotguns and skulls everywhere. Then that goes into the disease and famine alley, the kids with the distended bellies and flies everywhere.
40:56🔗AdamYou know, here's the thing, too. I've been on the show for almost 11 years. I've avoided Mexico as the topic of humor. And now to start, I just find that distasteful.
41:08🔗DrewThey don't have filarial disease. Yeah, yeah, no leishmaniasis.
41:12🔗AdamYeah, yeah, yeah. We'll take a quick break.
41:50🔗AdamI'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LAV. All right, I had what I think is a minor stroke of genius in the last break, last segment. We were talking about opening an amusement park in this, on this.
42:05🔗DrewI'm sure amusement's the right word, a theme park.
42:12🔗AdamPeople always talk about, whenever these celebrities, when Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie or any of these blowhard celebrities travel about, they come back and tell you about the appreciation for what we have.
42:22🔗AdamThey go to Biafra and then they come back and they're like, we don't appreciate how good we have it. And I would like to appreciate how good I have it, but I really don't want to go to Biafra.
42:33🔗AdamBut if the place was in Florida somewhere, Third World.
42:38🔗DrewWe could go to Third World, make a trip, a family trip to Third World.
42:43🔗AdamWe don't call it an amusement park, we call it a reality park. And it's a reality check. You go in there and it makes you... Meanwhile, you're driving a crappy car, your wife's fat, you live in an 1,100 square foot pillbox house, but you go home, you kiss the ground when you see how the rest of the world lives.
43:02🔗DrewYes, images of KwaShorkor, the swollen valleys.
43:06🔗AdamI just don't want to go to the rest of the world to find out how they live. But now with Third World, it's like Disney World, Third World. You tour around from the safety of your tram.
43:17🔗DrewHow do we decompress it? How do we sort of keep it contained? How do we keep those shoeboxes?
43:32🔗AdamWe will, first off, we will have to, just like we do a zoo, we will have to extract people from the third world and use them for our exhibit. We'll make no promises of curing them. Obviously, the guy with elephantiasis or the baby's with the distended bellies.
43:48🔗DrewWe have to ride by the trams and point and laugh.
43:50🔗AdamWell, Drew, no, I don't think it's going to be funny. I think I'm going to have some perspective for my life, though.
43:58🔗DrewYou, babe, Americans in general, they're going to be ridiculing and obnoxious.
44:01🔗AdamI think we're going to bring them, we will bring them over, we will contain them, we will put them in their natural habitat, just like we do when we get gators or zebras or something like that. Just like the zoo, we will provide a certain amount of medical stuff, but we're not going to take an eraser to the zebra stripes, but we will feed it. Do you see what I'm saying? We're not going to turn it into something it isn't. You see what I'm saying? When you have elephantiasis because you stepped on some parasite and some hippoflop, you have it. We're not going to change that. That's you. That's you. No one can take that away from you. That's you. But we will give you three haunts and a con and put you in at night. Meanwhile, the trams will be covered. They will not be open trams. Oh, lexan, lexan glass, HEPA-filtered air coming through.
44:52🔗AdamMonorail, suspended monorail, lexan, HEPA-filtered, triple HEPA-filtered air. But when you make your way through third world and then all the accompanying amusement parks, the Banana Republic, the Evil Dictator, the oppressive Soviet thing, well have them all. You'll experience them all.
46:54🔗AdamNo, we're not. We're never. No, it's not over. It's never over. All right, we're going to talk to them when we come back. Girlfriend is pregnant, doesn't think baby is his. I like that. Blood poisoning. How many people say they had blood poisoning or food poisoning actually have it? What percentage?
47:22🔗AdamWe've got to look at it this way. Every single time you vomit in your life, you've probably ate something not more than 3 hours or further than 3 hours away from when you vomited. It doesn't mean that's what made you vomit.
47:34🔗AdamIf you didn't eat for 4 weeks and then you vomited after eating something, maybe that's what it was.
47:38🔗DrewBy the same token, the most common thing is somebody was handling it who had a virus that you got from the food, the virus, not the food. Viral gastroenteritis, which is not a food poison. All right.
47:48🔗AdamWe'll take a break. We'll be right back after this. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-A-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Drew? Oh, nothing. Just a board certified physician and an addiction medicine specialist.
48:39🔗CallerYeah. What's up? I had blood poisoning last year. I actually ended up with a bone infection and I ended up going into, almost going into septic shock and pretty close to...
48:50🔗DrewHang on a second. Hold on. What do you mean by blood poisoning? What does that mean?
48:54🔗CallerWell, that's what the doctor told me it was.
48:57🔗DrewNo, he didn't tell you blood poisoning because it's not a term that has any meaning. You had osteomyelitis and you had septicemia. That makes sense.
49:04🔗CallerThat's what it was, septicemia. I can't remember the big name for it.
49:08🔗AdamHold on a second. Drew, are you a real doctor or just a love doctor?
49:12🔗DrewGood times. What's the question? You had osteo. What did you get? A puncture wound or something? Something to get through your foot? No.
49:19🔗CallerWhat happened was I slipped off the back of a truck at work and broke my foot. Then on the 11th of September, I was admitted to the hospital with a hematoma, a extremely large hematoma on the top of my foot. Apparently, staff had grown inside of it. Just something that I had been carrying in my body and it grew inside of it and caused a bone infection, which in turn caused my foot.
49:41🔗DrewNo, there must have been a puncture of some kind.
49:43🔗AdamDid you sue your employer? Did you sue your employer?
50:03🔗CallerYeah, we had to wash our trucks at the end of every shift. And I had climbed in the bed of the truck to wipe the back window. And when I was climbing back out, I had a hold of the tailgate. And I flipped off the bumper.
50:41🔗CallerYeah, they're willing to retrain me. I'm just having some problems with a financial situation. I was in prior to that. But my main question was... Yeah, yeah.
50:48🔗AdamWell, here's the thing. If you're having problems financially, you sure as hell don't want to go back to work.
51:33🔗CallerIs there any possibility that it could be lingering in my body? Is it passable to like if I get pregnant and have a baby?
51:39🔗DrewNo. Look, you've had how many weeks of IV antibiotics now, Natalia?
51:43🔗AdamA thousand. Don't get pregnant, by the way, when you're home on Workman's Comp.
51:46🔗DrewI agree with that. Yes, you can have staff lingering in various spots as any of us can. And some of those staffs can be resistant and problematic, but that's not a contagious disease. All right. They live with us.
51:59🔗AdamTherapy one, find out one, talk to one. Why what's on one? Michelle?
52:35🔗DrewNo, I'm just, we're questioning it about him. You would sort of put, shed some light on him.
52:40🔗AdamYou're not gonna get a healthy person with high self-esteem to kill themselves.
52:46🔗DrewRight, it's not like he caused them to kill himself. It's more likely that he's attracted to people that are depressed or broken in some way. He tries to rescue them and of course it doesn't work.
52:54🔗AdamRight, this is like a surgeon who's lost many patients but when you go back and look at it, the reason he's lost many patients is he takes the tough cases.
53:15🔗AdamWell, I mean, here's the thing. I do much better analogies than that but they're usually car related. I don't think you get them but you like the medical one.
53:41🔗AdamWell, I'll tell you why not because he's going to strangle his friend. He's going to commit homicide on his friend. What the hell is his friend telling you this for?
53:48🔗DrewWho knows if it's even true, by the way.
53:51🔗AdamWhat is that thing, by the way, when you just start telling the chicks or the guys going out with, start telling them crap.
54:04🔗AdamThat weird everything is, all that teenage angst and everything. The whole thing is like just some kind of movie with Matt Dillon from the 80s, you know, with you and Emilio Estevez and everyone's just looking down and it's like, man, hey man, I shouldn't be telling you this, but the Kyle you know is not the Kyle I know. You know that one? What? Tell me. I don't think I should say anything. What is that? The greatest thing I've ever learned. There's a few things you learn with time and one of them is stop talking.
54:50🔗AdamJust shut up. Here's the thing. Nothing in it for you. There's a very good point here, everybody. Go ahead and assess in life what's in it for you and what's not in it for you or what's potentially in it for you. Because here's how you want to lead your life. You want to make those decisions. It's like, well, if you rob a bank, you could get a million dollars or you could do 20 years in prison, but at least there's an upside. You don't want to rob a bank that has no money in it because if it all works out you get away with zero. And if it doesn't you're still doing the 20 years. And that's what gossiping is like when you're young or any age. No upside in it for you to go ahead and spread some rumors and gossips, but potentially bite you in the ass.
55:36🔗DrewBut there is a, there's almost a biological sort of arousing quality to it. You get the focus of attention, you know something special, it's exciting, you know, that's what people go for. It's not, it's not hurting other people, it's not the content, it's the process of sharing this, you know, of exciting information.
55:54🔗AdamThey love that little dance. You got that weird little energy dance when you're young.
56:00🔗DrewYeah, but think about the consequences of what you're doing.
58:01🔗DrewThere's really only two possibilities here. You are picking awful guys and attracted to horrible people, or you have trouble sort of interpreting social cues, and you're not really understanding what's happening, and you're looking for reasons to sabotage these relationships.
58:18🔗AdamOkay. What part of Alaska are you calling from?
58:52🔗CallerHe was never really around. Like, I wasn't actually supposed to be born. I wasn't planned for kind of thing.
59:04🔗AdamI have this theory that I could walk into any place in Alaska and just go, even if it was a church, and I could just walk in and go, yeah, I'm Federal Marshal Johnson. I have a warrant from 1987 and the entire place would just scatter. People would be diving out the windows through the stained glass window, shoulder roll onto the snowmobile.
59:30🔗AdamPeople would just be like, Jesus caught on fire. I could do that in a church. Now, if I went into a bar, well, I'd start shooting back. I'd start shooting and return fire. I would love to do that. I have this theory that I could walk into any large hall, like a bingo hall or church or any large establishment in either Nevada, Alaska, and certain parts of Florida and just go, excuse me, I'm Federal Marshal Johnson. I have a bench warrant for, and everyone's just trying to be the greatest. I would never tire of it if I lived in Alaska.
1:00:05🔗DrewIt's a great reality show. It's a great idea for a reality show. But you haven't been to Alaska. I went up there.
1:00:12🔗AdamI don't care. I know everyone in there is fleeing the law.
1:00:15🔗DrewAnd every person up there will tell you that their family or they themselves has a story.
1:00:22🔗AdamYeah, it's always like, what are you doing here? My dad didn't feel it was the federal government's job to tell me whether I could stockpile munitions or hookers. It's like, there's always somebody fleeing something, something, running from the past.
1:01:00🔗AdamBut do you think the future runs all the way along, like the Canadian border? Or do you think it's just sort of in the middle?
1:01:05🔗DrewWell, I just think if you run sideways, you're never getting into the future. So it's a technicality. It's interesting. Could you stay in the present forever?
1:01:29🔗CallerIt was just more like my mom wanted to move up here.
1:01:33🔗CallerMy uncle was already living up here.
1:01:34🔗CallerAnd so we lived with him for a few years.
1:01:36🔗DrewLet's put it this way. Given that you had a father who your mother needed to flee, it makes starts to make sense that you would have trouble in relationships with men.
1:01:44🔗AdamYes. And the other part, too, is whenever the sister and the brother decide to move up together, she's over it. Well, he was living up there. She says, are you kidding me?
1:01:57🔗AdamNo, I don't mean weird and sexual. I just mean it's just white trash.
1:02:03🔗CallerWell, we did move up here from Virginia, so.
1:02:06🔗AdamAll right. Okay, so you got issues with men. And all the guys you're dating up there in Alaska are the offspring of fleeing felons.
1:02:15🔗DrewSo they're suspect too, I agree with you. But Ashley, the only variable you have any control over is Ashley. And let's go ahead and sort of pay attention to what you contribute to all this. And if you don't like how things are going, change that.
1:02:27🔗AdamHold on. She thinks you're talking about Ashley Judd. Explain to her that when he says Ashley, I mean Ashley Olson. It means you.
1:02:49🔗DrewDays are going to like night. Night and night's like 20 hours now. It's bad times.
1:02:56🔗AdamOkay, long fella. You should write some of that down. Here's the thing. Try to be more human than animal, everybody. That's my sincere wish for everyone listening to the show. Here's what animals do. You know what animals do? The same goddamn thing over and over again. That's all they do. That's all they do. They do the exact same goddamn thing. My dog barks at the same nothing every night at 8 o'clock. Every night like a maniac. Every night at the same nothing.
1:03:24🔗DrewI hope it's at the neighbor downhill there.
1:03:40🔗DrewHow do you not? This is how murders happen, I think.
1:03:43🔗AdamYou know what? Here's the thing, Drew. Thankfully for all my neighbors, I'm so goddamn busy, I just don't have time to go over there and actually put a contract out on them. But it'd be awesome if some of them just keeled over. It really would be. And that's the thing, too. Once you're on my S-list, I wish death upon you.
1:04:01🔗DrewAnd then they become infinitely successful.
1:04:03🔗AdamNo. That's how the Corolla curse works. I'm just saying, everybody, please get off this treadmill known as your life and start trying to get outside yourself a little bit. If the same thing happens to you 20 times in a row, maybe it's you.
1:04:18🔗AdamIf you keep getting fired, maybe you're a bad employee. If you keep getting Ds and Fs, maybe you're a bad student. Maybe it has something to do with you. Maybe it's not the teacher hates you. Maybe it's not your employer is jealous. Maybe it's not every guy in Alaska cheats. I'm sure a disproportionate percentage of them do. Maybe it's the guys you're picking. Why not embrace that? Otherwise, you just lie around waiting to get hit by life. Right?
1:05:03🔗AdamOr both, but here we go. If you show up at a store on a Sunday and the store is closed, and you start cursing the store and saying, I drove halfway across town, I can't believe this, I ruined my weekend, what kind of place is closed on a Sunday, you never learn a lesson. But if you say, man, you know what, I should have called. I should have made that phone call. And then your wife is saying, honey, how would you know? Every place is open on Sunday these days. And you say, you know what, now next time, I will pick up the phone and call. Then you learn something. But if you get angry at the store for not being open, what's to stop you from going to, what is to prevent this from happening the following weekend?
1:05:47🔗AdamThat's right. So don't do it for me and don't do it for Drew and don't do it for the store owner, do it for you. Beat yourself up a little, internalize a little for you, not for them. See, people don't want to do it, they're trying to protect themselves. Screw this store, screw this street, they should have whatever, I'm going to sue somebody. Don't do it for you.
1:06:08🔗DrewBecause it's always feel better to make it the problem outside of yourself. But you can't solve those problems, they won't change or you can't change them.
1:06:16🔗AdamHumble yourself for you. You know what I do every day before I leave the house?
1:08:12🔗DrewMatthew, you need somebody who understands neurobiology to really look at things here and help you with this. I mean, you may, this all may be induced panic. I mean, it does not sound, it sounds, that's why I was kind of going down that path. It sounds so discreet and so, um, pervasive in terms of the quality of these attacks. It's not, you know, usually panic attacks kind of a little more free-floating. I mean, they can be triggered by environmental cues, but every time you have sex, that's something else. It just suggests that there's like a background of something going on neurobiologically.
1:08:42🔗AdamIt's just, Panic attacks like a herpes breakout, you don't get it on the first of every month. You just get it whenever, wherever.
1:08:48🔗DrewIt's a little more free-floating usually. Yeah, usually. I mean, it's triggered by various things, but you kind of have to figure it out usually and it's hard to tell. But every time I have sex, that's like, you know, every time I'm in a stressful situation, is what he's saying, it just breaks through.
1:09:00🔗AdamWhy is sex with his wife of seven years stressful? I mean, it should be boring, but it should be stressful.
1:09:18🔗DrewYou know, Milltown, when you get off it, you get what's called an euthysia, you have to move around all the time and they get upper limb restlessness. They punch when they punch things and stuff. It's very, very uncomfortable withdrawal and it lasts for a long time.
1:09:32🔗CallerI see. Yeah. Now I've been on this for 14 years.
1:09:48🔗DrewNow that you mentioned it. What's that, Matthew?
1:09:50🔗AdamMilltown sounds like a fictional place. Tough cops threatens to take the perps down too. Cuffels, I come back down here, I'll take you down to Milltown.
1:09:59🔗DrewThe real name is Mepro-Ban-Mate, and actually SOMA is converted to Mepro-Ban-Mate by your system.
1:10:04🔗CallerNow, I've been on this for 14 years.
1:12:48🔗DrewYeah, yeah. There you go. Magic. Magic. Psychic. Blue. Three. Candles.
1:12:53🔗AdamLet me explain. Let me say this, Drew. All right, Matthew, talk to a new therapist.
1:12:59🔗DrewNo, you need to see a skilled psychiatrist. You live in Detroit, go to university hospital, department of psychiatry. This is probably what we, I have some success with this medication called Neurontin that will help with the anxiety, the panic, and the withdrawal. But you need a lot of different kinds of interventions here. This is a very complicated situation. Do not try to manage this on your own.
1:13:21🔗AdamDig on this. Heavy and powerful. H&P. Dig on it, though. Okay. When you molest somebody, you get in trouble or charged with whoever you molested, and that's about it. But I say the legacy should be tackled.
1:13:40🔗AdamThe people that that person will molest, the broken childhoods and the families and all the trouble that that person caused.
1:13:46🔗DrewThey should be responsible for all the costs and expense and lost wages.
1:13:49🔗AdamYeah, because here's the deal. If I set a brush fire just because I like to watch it burn, but a bunch of school kids get trapped in a bus and burn, I get, I get, I get murder. I have to be accountable for everyone who was on the bus.
1:14:08🔗AdamIf you shot a bus driver and killed him, you would get charged for his murder and everyone who was on his bus who died as a result of the accident.
1:14:17🔗DrewI actually would say we have to do this with the child molesters in order to get this thing to slow down. We have to start doing this.
1:14:22🔗AdamBecause you molest somebody, you only get charged with that. Meanwhile, they go on, they molest their kids, their kids molest other kids, it just keeps going.
1:14:47🔗AdamReal doctor just to love doctor. Take a quick break, be right back after this. Hey, everybody, it's Gloveline. I'm Adam, and that's Dr. Drew, font number 1-800-L-O-V-E. Let's get back to the phones, shall we, Drew?
1:15:25🔗DrewYup. Or you wanna talk about I don't know. The punishment for child abuse again?
1:15:34🔗AdamI just, I just feel, well, that's where Pedophile comes in my island for pedophiles. What a movie. And Waitil becomes a musical.
1:16:13🔗CallerNothing. I lost my dad when I was seven. And like a few months after that, I lost my best friend to a fire. She died also.
1:16:23🔗AdamYou're just talking about young people dying in fires? What happened to your dad?
1:16:29🔗CallerHe died of cancer of the nerve. He had like really great big tumors. Yeah, that's all I know. Cancer of the nerve. That's all I know. And it was about 12 years ago.
1:16:42🔗CallerYeah. And then I had a verbally abusive mom and I confronted her about that a while ago and she said that she was sorry. She actually realized she was verbally abusive and she said she was sorry and now I'm getting therapy. But I was wondering if you can cure depression without taking medication because I don't like taking medication. It just seems like it's fake happiness to me. I don't know.
1:17:06🔗AdamWhat's wrong with fake happiness, by the way? I wouldn't mind a dose of fake happiness.
1:17:09🔗DrewHow is it different than real happiness?
1:17:10🔗AdamAnd if you don't know it, it's like a fake orgasm. If you believe it, then it's an orgasm.
1:17:15🔗DrewThis is somewhat different because your brain has been depleted by these repetitive assaults. And so the idea is just to support the chemistry of the brain by bringing the chemicals back towards normal. So you don't fall into a biological state from all these stressors. While you work on the therapy and do the things you need to do to pull yourself on out of it. And then eventually get off the medicines. In the meantime, however, there's no such thing as antidepressant addiction.
1:17:52🔗CallerI'm going to school for journalism. So I'm a college student and I work and that's it. So I like to write.
1:18:01🔗DrewYou don't sound that depressed, by the way. But if you're having trouble functioning, depression is a potentially dangerous illness. One out of five people kill themselves who have depression.
1:18:09🔗AdamHere's the thing, you'll make a great writer though. There's no such thing as a happy person who sits down and writes. Happy people, you know what they do? They go to the park, they play catch.
1:18:26🔗AdamWell, think about what writing is. Think about that concept of writing. Lots of downtime, lots of time. And here's the thing, you don't usually write at noon. You write at 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. Right. You polish off a bottle of wine, drink it, have a couple of sleeping pills, and just sit there.
1:18:46🔗DrewThat's the definition of Adam, what he's telling us.
1:18:52🔗DrewAnd no sleeping pills, just the wine. Yeah, sometimes I'm sleeping pills, yeah.
1:18:56🔗AdamI'm a mixed man. I surprise myself. Here's the thing. Depression makes for great artists. Happy people don't write because you don't have anything to write down when you're happy. When you're in a good mood, you don't have anything to write down. The people who write happy songs, they're depressed. No, they're depressed, they're just trying to make money.
1:19:43🔗CallerWell, I was kind of wondering. I've been kind of doing like a lot of getting like a little bit more deviant in terms of like masturbation and stuff. I've started looking at like transsexual porn. I've been doing things that I would consider more like sociopathic sort of behavior.
1:20:03🔗CallerWell, I've always I've been dealing with, so like the past couple of years, I started getting into like a gambling problem. And I've been kind of doing things like using people in terms of, it hasn't always been for that in like in terms of money.
1:20:19🔗AdamWhere do you get tranny porn? Give me the title of one of your tranny porn movies.
1:20:22🔗CallerWell, no, I never like bought like a tranny porn, but I mean online you can go and grab all the tranny porn that you want.
1:20:33🔗AdamWell, you think I would have a lawsuit if I bought tranny porn that I thought was straight porn, masturbated to it, and then later found out it was tranny porn.
1:21:06🔗AdamHere's the deal, too. I think trannies are going to be like, it's going to be like plastic surgery. It's not going to be so easy to spot anymore. It used to be 25, 30 years ago. You could tell the chick that had the face job. I don't know if you can tell anymore.
1:21:22🔗AdamBut here's the next thing I'm interested in. And just to answer me this, what do you think of this, Drew? I look at the porn magazine sometimes, right?
1:21:41🔗AdamNow, it's usually an attractive woman that they've cut a penis out and stuck on. Yeah. But they're still saying, here's our website, here's our literature, here's our movies, go get this. Every goddamn fifth one of those advertisements is chicks with dongs, not big jugs.
1:22:01🔗AdamWhat kind of country are we living in? That the chicks with dongs advertisements outnumbers the big jug porn. In the advertisement department, in the back of the huts, I'm outraged, I'm outraged, and I'll not stand for, I say good day, I say good day to the chick with dong porn. But here's my point. How many guys actually like this? That's what I can't understand.
1:22:46🔗AdamIt's not to say that they want to marry this, or they even want to pay for a prostitute this way, but they're jacked up and they want weird. More arousal. And these guys, they're long past the bukkake phase of masturbation, and then they're now into the bizarre and the macabre.
1:23:06🔗DrewAnd that's the way porn addiction tends to go.
1:23:09🔗I think it's put there to make the other porn look better.
1:23:12🔗AdamAnderson, you know what I'm talking about, though, right?
1:23:14🔗CallerI was in New York and I was looking at some magazines I had out there, just some newspapers, and more than half of it was female shemale stuff.
1:23:22🔗AdamWell, the other thing, too, is that female shemale ads are like a turd in the goulash. It goes a long way. You see one, it's going to take a lot of good straight stuff. They wash that memory out of your mind.
1:23:35🔗AdamYeah, it sticks. One seems like a hundred. But really, it's like every other one in the back of the thing, and you just want to throw your hands up and scream, like, who is into this ass?
1:23:45🔗DrewWell, there's a guy to talk to. Let's talk to him, James.
1:23:48🔗AdamYou always want to talk to the people that call the show, Drew. That's where we part ways.
1:23:54🔗CallerAdam, you hit it on the head when you said, like, it's something that you kind of stretch the limits, but at the same time, it's something that at times I'm very attracted to, and at other times, well...
1:24:06🔗AdamAre you effed up when you're viewing this?
1:24:28🔗DrewI think that's the thing about the Internet, there's so much stuff streaming down that they just finally get sort of, everything becomes white noise. You know, people can get accustomed to anything.
1:24:46🔗DrewYeah, this is where addicts go with this. All right. So what's the go? Well, you can stop. And it's like every other addictive pathology, you've got to stop the behaviors. If you can't, there is help out there. You live in Long Beach. There's a treatment center in Redondo called the Delamo Treatment Center. And check it out.
1:25:04🔗AdamLived in the city for 40 years. I figured out Delamo is not a city.
1:25:35🔗AdamWhatever. It's a Spanish name, which is perfect for every goddamn city around here, because that's all we'll use. And then we'll complain about the illegals coming over the border. You just shouldn't do that. If you named if you named your kitchen Roach World and you found a roach in it, would you be surprised? Would you be shocked? Not that I equate my Latin brothers from south of borders, but you know what I'm saying.
1:26:02🔗DrewYes. Yes. And world answers. Answer us.
1:26:12🔗AdamNo, I don't know what that was because I don't feel like I know what that was. Man, when you talk like that, it's like, I don't even know you anymore. Go ahead, Drew.
1:26:21🔗AdamTake a quick break. Be right back after this. Yeah, buddy, Love Line, I'm Adam, that's Dr. Drew. Phone, 1-800-L-A-V-E-1-9-1. Gonna speak to Mark from Idaho. Mark, 28.
1:27:23🔗CallerWell, I guess I had a one-week stand with a girl. You can call it that. It was one night stand that lasted too long. And about a month later, she comes and tells me she's pregnant.
1:27:44🔗CallerOkay. The question is, I'm being able to go to the doctor with her for like the ultrasounds and stuff. And the ultrasounds, they measure the fetus. And the measurements of the fetus are coming like two, two and a half weeks older than when I met her. Are the ultrasounds accurate to conception?
1:28:03🔗DrewThey tend to be. They're not absolutely accurate, but they tend to be.
1:28:07🔗AdamLet me ask you this, Drew. When would be the best or most accurate ultrasound? Earlier or later?
1:28:18🔗AdamIf you didn't have no idea how far along a woman is and you did an ultrasound at eight months, would it be more conclusive than you doing it at week number three?
1:28:27🔗AdamI would imagine in a certain way, there's just certain things that can't happen by four weeks or six weeks, you know what I mean?
1:28:36🔗DrewYou're working with a smaller measurement, therefore greater potential for error.
1:28:40🔗AdamWell, I would look at it as the, I would almost look at it the opposite way, which is if you showed me an oak tree, I couldn't tell you how old the oak tree was, but if you showed me a sapling, I think I could tell you that's a few months. You know what I mean?
1:28:55🔗AdamBecause it just couldn't be, there's not much, a week is like a month when it's, when you've only been around for three of them as opposed to eight of them.
1:29:08🔗AdamWow. Powerful. Drew, I would have made a decent scientist had I learned to read, read. Or, you're cont, learn, To read? I would learn the past tense of reading.
1:29:23🔗DrewIn fact, I've decided that we don't teach science in this country. That's really part of the problem here. That's why everyone's gone sort of wacky with all their little crazy theories and stuff. Because people don't understand how science works.
1:31:28🔗AdamThat's that house where they lend you the books, but you have to bring them back.
1:31:31🔗DrewBring them back. They're covered in plastic.
1:31:33🔗AdamCheck that out. Check that out on the Internet, Michelle. See if you can find one of those. What's it called again? Library. Library. Check that out. Doesn't have the word book in it, so it always slows me down. But Drew probably told me five times. Sarah?
1:31:56🔗CallerWell, I'm seeing this guy, and I noticed he had bumps on his penis, and so we went and had it checked out, and it ended up being genital wart. I haven't had sex with him, and I'm wondering, is there any way I can have sex with him and not get it? I mean, is there?
1:32:21🔗DrewYes, you can wear a condom, but it won't be 100% effective. There will be a vaccine available soon. It's coming soon. Did you just throw up in your mouth?
1:32:29🔗AdamNo, I just hiccuped in my mouth, Claus.
1:32:31🔗DrewSo you may have to wait till the end of the year to get a vaccine, but in the meantime, condom will be the way to protect yourself and also get the warts taken off. The less wart present, the less viral production.
1:32:41🔗AdamSo each wart is its own little virus factory?
1:33:15🔗DrewAllergic reactions and psoriasis you can get.
1:33:17🔗AdamCan you, remember the heartbreak of psoriasis? Yeah. Can you easily go to a dermatologist?
1:33:22🔗DrewYeah, I would. If they come and go and they just never really stay, then I don't know if they really do anything with it.
1:33:28🔗AdamHow about this though? How about going to a urologist? You know why? Because nobody wants to surprise the doctor that doesn't normally see a penis with a penis.
1:33:36🔗DrewThat's good. Well said. The urologist know a penis is coming.
1:33:39🔗AdamRight. All right. We'll take a quick break. Yeah. I mean, you see all the pictures up in the waiting room.
1:33:43🔗DrewIt's a Three Dark Nights song, you know.
1:33:46🔗AdamPenis coming hot, your hot girl. Penis coming hot. Now see, Drew, do you see what I do for you? I know what you're talking about. Hi, it was Chuck Negra.
1:34:42🔗AdamAll right. End of the week. So thanks for thanks for thanks for thanks for you. I thank you, Patricia. Yeah, this week got screwed up. It felt like the end on Tuesday, and now it doesn't feel like that. Yeah. Well, thank you for doing the phones. I want to thank Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Junior, Producer Lorne for booking the show, Producer Ann for doing a great job all week long. Engineers Michelle, Engineer Curtis, who else? Engineer Anderson, Marcus, Marcus, I want to say Curtis. Yeah, Marcus. Yeah, I'm going to go with Marcus. Yeah, Junior, I got Junior Lorne in there. Anderson. So, until next time, I'm Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
