It is Adam Carolla show number 606 in August of 2012, which it's where Adam and I introduced the new Adam and Dr. Drew Show. It has been that long.

I was just telling somebody last night, Jay O'Kerson said, oh, I guess you're doing a pod with Adam Carolla now. And I said, yeah, yeah, it's been about 13 years. That's us. 14 years. Well, here's where it started. From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla show. Today, Adam's taking your sex, drug, and relationship calls with special guest, Dr. Drew. And now, Adam Carolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on.

No choice. Better get it on. Mandate, get it on. Welcome to our little bite-sized morsel of a special show. It's a little special commercial free. How do you do? the fans and again we don't run commercials during this this is a thank you and thank you in advance for telling people about the show and spreading the word because after all that's all we got baby

we don't have dirigible we don't have network television we have you and you can tell a friend you can click the telefriend page at adam corolla.com and get them hip to the pod how you doing drew you know what else we need to hit the road we're gonna we need to go out in the world and do some, like we used to. We're going to do some dates, me and Dr. Drew, coming to a town near you. And I say, if anybody has any suggested or knows of a place, we should go, right? I mean, let's go, let's do this. Let's let the pros handle it.

We'll end up some guy's fucking gimp dungeon. Hey, where's everybody? Don't worry about it. Start dancing, man. We were told there was going to be a town car. Well, it's a flatbed truck. God knows we've been through that. Yeah, Dr. Drew and our crazy travels around this great country of ours going to all the different schools.

And, Drew, stop messing with the paper. Please stop that. Please stop. Yep. What's wrong with you? You got OCD. What are you going to do? You got a motor.

Well, speaking of what's wrong with me, yeah. Speaking of that motor, just before we went on the air, we were talking a little bit about how I take stuff personally these days. People attack me about teen mom or attack about the pot that if I say anything negative about pot, I'm an evil person. I'm tired. I'm tired. What is that? What's happened to me? Why are you internalizing this stuff? Why do I, does it hurt? And why do I feel bad about it? Why do I, I'm tired of fighting? Some of it is that narcissism, you know, I like talking about, that kind of mob mentality. It feels dangerous when people start attacking now. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, before you know it, you have Spike Lee tweeting out your address and people coming after you.

Right. Drew, you've always been wired in a very sensitive way, and it's, you know, if a thousand people show up to a show and one person is not happy with it, then the show is ruined. But it's not if you really look at it from any other perspective and in any other business, climate or a scholastic achievement. You're right. I get it. If there's a test with a thousand questions, you get one wrong, you're doing pretty fucking well for yourself. I get it. And maybe it's just because of the access now with social media, it's sort of where I mean. And I'm not a sense of I used to be, too.

I'm kind of thick skin compared to what I used to be. Well, we used to travel around, and we'd go through an airport, and someone would say something to you, and you'd stop and talk to them for a while. And they'd want to know what gave you the right to dispense this information on TV, and you'd talk to them for a while. And remember once in a while? I can't remember where this was, but we did this thing. Fucking colleges are such retards. Alabama. No, no, wait.

Where the hell? We did this thing, and they were like, hey, this female student reporter would like to do an article on you guys for after the show. And then we were like, all right, and was after the show. And we, like, sat down sort of backstage. And she was like, and what makes you think? And what gives you the right? And at a certain point, she's like, and who decided you could play God? And I'm like, this is a wonderful experience I'm having with this, with this female reporter who's allegedly doing this story.

Maybe he goes, she's a big fan. Yeah. And then I thought, like, who the fuck are these people that run this place that let the angriest diesel dyke backstage for the fucking number two pencil and their stenopad? And then at a certain point, I probably just told her to shove off. Oh, yeah. And then you were doing this thing where you're like, well, but listen, hold on. And then I remember afterward traveling to the airport through the airport, you were upset about it. You were like, why did she say this?

What gave her the right? Why didn't she understand? It's a two-part thing, though, Drew. Part of it is why couldn't she understand? Right. And then the other part's an anger part, which is why, what gives her the right to come in and make me feel this way about myself, which is maybe a more important component to it. There's a part, there's a lot of anger, anger that's laced into the hurt. No, no, you know it is, it's helplessness.

Okay. When somebody doesn't listen and has their own, like, they're rolling and you can't get through to them, that's a very helpless feeling. That's what I don't like. Yeah. I don't my people not liking or whatever, having a different opinion. I kind of like that. But when they're just rolling and there's no give and take, there's no nothing, and I, and

that's where I feel all the time now. I know, but you have to tell those people to fuck off. I'm not as good at that as you are. But, well, you know, I don't tell them all to fuck off, but, I mean, we're in a insane society now. And, you know, I get into it. It was funny because I was talking to someone about, like, you have all these people. People have lost their ability to reason anymore. And I was talking, I'll give you an example.

The example was the guy, the artist, I'm holding my fingers up, who did Piss Christ, who took his urine, put the crucifix in it, took a big picture of it, and they put it up at the Guggenheim. And like, that's fucking art anyway. And by the way, I'm not some uptight white guy. I'm just saying anything I can do. In spite of being it. If I can do it, it ain't art. Yeah.

And I could piss on some. Believe me, I pissed on many a thing. Many of God's creatures have felt my urine wrath. And it's all right, fine. And then, you know, you bring up something about these crazy Muslims and, you know, you make some film that offends them. And the next thing you know, you're Salman Rushdie and you're on the run. And there's a bounty put on your head and they're burning down the embassy and whatever we were talking about. And then there's always some ass wipe that feels the need to point out, well, hold on a second.

The guy did piss Christ, you know, there were just as many and blah, blah, blah. So I got a tweet, you know, oh, don't tell me you guys aren't just as bad because the guy did piss Christ. He had, there were protesters, blah, blah, blah. I always just write back. Well, you respond to them. I responded this way. Body count, please. Now you can shut the fuck up and go back to blowing your partner.

Because you got shit. And don't give me that just as bad. because I can give you body counts but you can never give me a body count they always do that oh no no we do it just as much we're just as we do right body count

show me some bodies then if there's no bodies who gives a fuck so there's protests well big deal people protest shit all the time that's healthy I want to see some bodies

you can't show me any bodies then you shut the fuck up and yes I get that way with people. Why not? But it shuts them up because they can't fucking argue. Most people are shitty at arguing, yet they want to engage anyway. That's what I found.

Used to be if you weren't so good at it, you shut up. That's why they want to get. That's what feels so helpless. It's like a handle against the curtains. All right. Well, Drew, you were always a little bit sensitive. Yep. And you, but I think what happens with you is you bottle it up a little bit.

it and then maybe it comes back with a little interest later on a little anger interest you know what I mean well now I am kind of angry these days that's what I'm saying yeah yeah but I think you have to express it in real time but also you have to understand mathematically it is going to be impossible it's going to be impossible I mean I do this I'll do this too like I'll give I'll give an example somebody i don't know yes i do retweet i will tweet back to to people or will respond to people that just make idiotic points once in a while um i said uh i don't know i was talking about mangria somebody was talking about mangria and they said um your average beer has like five percent alcohol and your average wine has 12 14 percent alcohol mangria 21 percent alcohol mangria 21

percent. They went, woo, big deal, you know. And I said, yeah, woo. And I retweeted it. I said, like, hell yeah, or something. I retweet it. Somebody wrote back immediately. Mickelope platinum has six percent alcohol, not five. By the way, it was a, it was a beer that is not out yet, but it will when it does come out or it just came out, has six percent, not five. Now, forget that the average light beer is five percent. That's what we said. We didn't say Michelob Platinum. But the point is, is they said, Michelot platinum has 6%. Like, I stand corrected, you know.

And I said, a fine retarded point. That's what I say to people, too. That's a great retarded point. Like, that is an awesome retarded point. Like, you're fucking idiot. You're right. It's a stupid fucking point. I didn't say that beer.

I don't know what your point is. And I don't know why I needed to reply, and I didn't. But it's fun to call people retards. All right. So, Drew. Yeah. Don't people attack you for using that word? don't care here's the thing um there's too many people they all have a computer and they all can

get to your eyeballs and your ears and you cannot you cannot absorb that yeah yeah and uh look once in a while if you go on a show and you go on a couple of uh talk shows and you get a bunch of tweets going what's up do you have a cockroach in your right shoe you never stop tapping your foot you know and you get 20 of those tweets going you never stop jiggling your right foot well then good yeah wake up don't sure don't rattle your right foot that's absolutely true you saw it now you go you you should go okay this is embarrassing and then you go thank you I have no problem now next time I go on whatever show I go on I'm going to keep it on my right foot and not do that nervous thing I do where I tap my right foot fine that's a that's a good thing but if they just

call you a fuck nut that's not really constructive right so but we're there now drew i know we're there so you're going to have you're going to have to live with that and uh you know it happened with me and the whole chick thing and the first thing is is i didn't even want to know like you have to not want to know i was traveling and people like are you see you're you're trending on twitter and there's a million hits on youtube go check it out and i was like now yeah i'm traveling and I will tell you this, Drew, if you would be amazed what doesn't exist until you make it exist. I mean, the whole world could be talking about you, but if you're just sitting in your hotel room in Milwaukee and you're watching ESPN2, it doesn't exist. You want to crack your computer open, it will exist.

Right. So if you'd like it not to exist, don't look. I mean, don't even read. People send me shit all the time with so-and-so. wrote an article about you, so-and-so's tweeted about you? Did you hear this shit so-and-so was talking about you? Why? Will you go find it?

Do you want to seek it out? Do you want to know? Don't. Move on to your life. But you've got to have things in your life. I mean, you have to have your whatever. Family. Yeah.

If you're sucker. You know, but cars, you know, if you're smart. Your team. Whatever it is. I mean, you have to have stuff that you're just playing the more interested in. Let me get this straight. So you've got to have cars, football. mangraia

fatty liver cutting back on drinking huh fatty liver uh process state surgery. Oh, boy. Pain and the money peas. Therapist thinks you get STD test. Start at the top. Why not? Hey, Thomas? Yeah. What's going on? Is this my Thomas from Atlanta? Yeah. How you doing? Dude, how are you? I'm good. I'm good. I'm working over at Emory now before the PhD in psychiatry. So it's been very cool. Fantastic. You sound calmer than you did as a younger man. What's that? You sound calmer than you did as a younger man. Yeah, I was usually pretty nervous when I called, and I was pretty nervous now.

Now he doesn't give a shit anymore. But, you know, I owe you guys when I'm working on this PTSD project, and I'm doing research on early trauma and how it affects people later, and I owe that interest really completely. Hey, Thomas, please keep me in the loop with whatever you're publishing or whatever stuff you're coming by because you know I love that stuff. Yeah, I mean, the guy I'm working for is incredible. The sample size we have is incredible, so yeah, it's some really cool stuff.

Now, how do you keep someone out of the loop? Do you have to do that, or that just happens when they're not in the loop? Because I need to be out. Yeah, out is what you were talking about in Milwaukee. Or if nothing, then I'll just be nothing. But go ahead. Adam, I saw you in Atlanta, and it was hilarious. You were great.

I hope you come back. What the hell is I doing in Atlanta? You were at the Tabernacle. Oh, is I doing stand-up? Yeah, you're doing your show. Oh, all right. Thanks for coming, man. Appreciate it.

Yeah, absolutely. And I really hope you guys come down to the southeast that you guys do as, you know, a lot of doing it we're going Atlanta you know we're going everywhere that needs us all right we're like Batman we see that signal we're going um my my you know I've had um several partners I guess I'm the low double digits and I've never gotten tested I've also never been symptomatic but my therapist was like you should get tested and so I actually did but I'm wondering I guess sort of for future reference and maybe for everyone else whether that's necessary you know I know there's a lot made of, okay, we go in as a new couple and everybody gets tested.

That's really just for HIV. Many of the other STD tests are only as predictive of a true positive as the clinical circumstance in which the test is being done. In other words, many of the tests for STDs are more likely to be a false positive than a true positive unless the clinical circumstance increases the probability that it's. actually, you know, I have no other way to describe this. In other words, if you test, if you test for herpes as a screening instrument, bad test. But if you have blisters on your penis, then it's more predictive, much more predictive. So the clinical circumstance determines the accuracy of the test. Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. Okay. So what screens can you do that are, that are actually accurate?

You can screen for syphilis. You can screen for HIV. That's about it. You can do it. You can do So they test for then? You can do antibodies or something? You can do, well, they do antibodies to herpes, which is a bad test. And because most people are exposed to some kind of herpetic virus. And so you get, you're very likely to have had antibodies. And then people go, oh, now you got herpes. Well, not necessarily.

Not necessarily. And then the urethral swab you can do for, and there's a thing you can pee on to check for chlamydia. That's probably a worthwhile thing to do. I'll tell you can pee on your therapist. Yeah, therapist is not necessarily medically. trained. But, you know, again, to go through the exercise is not a horrible idea. It's just that it's, just be careful what test you get done and then get the damn HPV vaccine while you're in there. Oh, they got that for the dudes now. Did you get it?

I didn't, but I've heard you guys say it can be good to protect, you know, women and me from head and neck cancer and all this. That's right. The incidence of head and neck cancer going up rapidly in men. Head and neck cancer. There's HPV-related head and neck cancer, which are devastating. They're basically throat and pharynx and larynx. Roger Avert. Yeah, that kind of thing. And it's HPV is thought to be a significant contributor to the incidence of that now. So that if you drink in papilloma, the war virus. Whereas for women, it's, I don't know, cervical cancer, yep.

For men, it's head and neck. And anus. Oh, man, the fucking three, the apocalypse of the three, horsemen. Those are four? Head, neck, and anus. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Wow.

More like the Holy Trinity. Well, wait a minute. Anus if you're one of the fellas that enjoys the fellas. And that's right. And that's who tends to get that. And same with the head and neck cancers. Uh-oh. Matt, heads up, buddy. It's time to a gargle.

No, get the HPV vaccine. Or get that. Yeah, and I gave it to my son's. You should get it. Sonny should get it. How dare you? He's an angel. He's pristine.

Do you understand? Dan. He never will. Now, he's your son. He will never have contact. He'll never have sexual contact with another human. Well, anyway, I gave it to my kids. For sure. You did. Yeah. For sure. Does Flintstones make it yet? Not yet. I think of all the people that make a big deal of those damn vaccines. It makes me crazy. It's funny. I gave my son. I gave my son is chewable. They have gummy vitamins now.

I was struggling trying to get the fucking childproof cap off the thing the other day. They're gummy bears. They're shaped like dinosaurs or something. It's like, well, we need of childproof here. I mean, oh, all right, they put you, OD on what, B, vitamin B? What's the worst case scenario here? Worst case. And my son, he's such a pus. I mean, he's so well-behaved.

He's like, just two. I can only have two because that's what was told, you know. Are you sure it's your genes? Yeah, my daughter will crush it up and snort him. There we go. She'll snort those friends. That's what I'm talking about. She says she likes a Wilma freeze.

She'll snort the Flintstones, but she says, Wilma's good for freeze. I don't even know what that means. I'm not one of those druggie people. She gets it on the street somehow. All right. Barney was a little better. Are we saying head and neck because of the gay thing?

Yeah. Well, it's not exclusively there, but we've seen it recently. But somebody has to take a penis that's got something on it and put it in or on you. Yeah, but as you know, we've tested your peni. Yes, we have. It's a hard thing to screen for because in the mail, there really is no good test for it. So what we did with Mr. Corolla's penis is we poured acetic acid over it and we had this big black light with a big magnifying glass. We had to find his penis. And we pulled it

and then under the magnifying glass and look for this pre-cancerous lesions on there and he had he was pristine. I did it live. Live on the radio. He did. Cynicated radio. These guys, you remember it? Syndicated radio. Did it live. We had Dr. Marcel in there with us, remember? Yeah. Yeah. Listen, you have to have confidence in your door. number one as my grandpappy used to say all the time said son you know man's only got a couple things in life and confidence in his dork is got to be one top of the list it is number one I knew it'd be good compelling enrich radio so that was fine and yeah that that acetic acid which is vinegar vinegar yeah okay all right well let's see diagnosed fatty

liver what is that one about let's see you should know Steve hey how's it going do you get the fatty liver with cirrhosis? It's the antecedent. It's the first stages of alcoholic liver disease is called fatty metamorphosis. What's up? So I got diagnosed with fatty liver about a year ago, and my liver panel test were really high. And then about a year later, I got my levels down. I lost a lot of weight, and now my levels are normal.

But I'm kind of drinking a little bit, but nowhere near what I was a year ago. So I guess my question really is, if I keep living a lifestyle that I've lived, now to change that? Am I okay in the future? No. Why not? It's fatty liver. Listen, the losing, fatty liver, excessive weight, metabolic syndrome, high cholesterol is all associated with this, but primarily it's alcohol. That's the big fatty liver contributor. And once you had it, it can progress. I mean, I would say no alcohol exposure. Now, obviously, it's better. You may have had even alcoholic hepatitis going on back in the day when you're

drinking heavily. Of course, it's better, but it can still progress. Mm-hmm. Are the blood test a good? No, they are not. No, they're really not. Only when you're in big trouble, do the blood test tell you something? Drew, can I tell you, I can't remember if I was telling you this or not. It might be.

I went and I was getting my stuff tested before I got my meniscus repaired. You got your knee? I got my knee repaired. Yeah, yeah. Second time for nothing. No good reason. I got my meniscus repaired. and I was sitting in the doctor's office.

I don't have a doctor. You're my doctor, but when they were like running some tests. I know you didn't know that. I don't know. They're running some tests and doing some stuff. And this chick, she had a picture on the, she had a very small office. I mean, half the size of the studio, you know, small this old thing. It has that one table with the butcher cloth on it.

And she says, butcher paper. And she says, she's talking about drinking and smoking, right? and, you know, drinking is bad, smoking is bad, blah, blah, blah. And I'm sitting there staring at a picture of W.C. Fields, a caricature, like a cartoon caricature. He's holding a lit cigar. It's just smokes coming out of there. And a brandy sniffter. And it's about two feet in front of my face as she's doing the little spiel about drinking and smoking.

And I said, you know, you got a picture W.C. Fields sitting there, I mean, you know, basically known. You know, I don't know who the top five drinkers. He died at Las and seen his hospital where he used to work of alcoholic liver disease. Well, there you go. Yeah. I wish you were with me. But I said, you couldn't put a picture of an eagle up here. You had to put a guy smoking and drinking.

And you're sitting, you know, they tell you to sit on the table and everyone gets the same questions, which involved drinking and smoking. So the idea that you have a cartoon character of a guy who died from drinking too much, happens to be smoking in this picture here while you're discussing drinking smoking does that feel this is this a picture of it i oh my god really it's like like a crazy picture of him yeah oh i'll show you a close-up picture the thing the table is is just to the right we'll show a close-up picture what she say um well she said the same thing that almost everyone says to me shut up no mind your business well she said i've had this office for over eight years and no one's ever

brought that up and I said that's here WC Fields and this picture is holding a brandy sniffed in his right hand and the smoke is wafting like off the frame of the picture he's obese and he has a rhino phymo which is a huge red nose uh-huh yeah uh-huh and she's giving me a lecture about drinking and smoking and then there's a picture of uh this right Drew you need to follow me around these people have no idea who

they're talking to when they talk to me that's clear really you're getting all fucking, you're getting all in your hot sanctimonies. You're getting high hat. You mean a high hat. You're getting up on your high horse about drinking and smoking. And did you decorate this office? Yes. I said, well, why am I staring at a picture of guys drinking smoking? We're talking to me about

drinking smoking. She said, no one's ever brought that up before. I said, I don't, and by the way, that's not me being astute. That's everyone else being so fucking out of it. It's insane. It's impossible not to see the irony of discussing drinking and smoking and looking at a picture of a guy's a poster child.

for drinking and smoking the picture i didn't take you know what i'm going to go back to her matt remind me to go back to her fucking office i'm going to take that picture of the of the of the table and uh because the table's right in front like and and i need a better picture and uh and the uh and the marx brothers so why the marks brothers important because the march brothers are on the other wall so i'm sitting on the edge of the table and i'm facing wc fields while we're talking about drinking smoke with the marks brothers are over to my right right the table runs along the ways. In the office, again, it's eight foot by eight foot. It's like one that's like a little little little office in a building, a big office building, a little office. And I say to the

woman, the doctor, I say, listen, here's what you do. So you swap out the picture of W.C. Fields with the Marks brothers so that when they're sitting on the edge of the table and you're lecturing them about drinking and smoking, they're looking at the Marks brothers and not W.C. Fields To put that one over here. Now she wants to argue. That'll be their back. Now she's going to argue. Oh, yeah. Now she comes back. Okay. She says, well, listen. This is how Adam goes through the world. He goes to the world bringing up things that he sees that everyone should see, and then people want to argue.

Then they make the mistake arguing. And they forget who they're arguing with. That's the problem. You act like you're arguing with the, you know, a semi-retarded person in English is their second language. So she says, nah, no, I like the W.C. Fields where it is. And I like the Marx Brothers where they are.

And the Marks Brothers, where they are, are there, because when I perform the rectal exams, I have them lean over the table, and they see the Marks Brothers picture, and they seem to enjoy that. And I said, I said, let's explore your use of the word enjoy. I said, there's no way they enjoy it. And there's no way there's any discernible difference. Like, oh, well. Thank God this one. Thank God it was the WC. Fields up here. Oh, yeah.

Oh, if you're going to show me a picture, if you're going to show me a drawing of the March Bruges, you don't need to use lube. That's fine. You roll your hand in broken glass and hot sand. That's fine. But if you show me W.C. Fields, now we've got an issue. They prefer it. They enjoy it. Again.

This was your orthopedist? This was the woman who was just getting the blood test so I could. The screening exam. Yeah, right. All I'm saying is this. Just say you're right, Mr. Corolla, and we'll move on. Don't come back or come back with an argument. Watch.

Watch this. You're right, Mr. Crollow. Thank you. Moving on. See how easy that was? You guys have not learned that yet? You just don't say anything. Yeah.

Oh, you learn that. But now, or come back with something. This people enjoy the Marx Brothers when they're getting a rectal. No, no. Come back with something cogent. You know what I mean? I need to hear something that makes sense. Not people who are getting rectal exams love the Marks brother.
