Not looking to troll or anything, but has anyone else noticed Dr. Drew's tendency on this program to dismiss bisexual behavior as either unhealthy or attention-seeking? Granted, that's often the case, what with fourteen year old girls calling in - but I have never heard him accept someone's sexuality as such and move on to the caller's problem at hand. That is, being bi always seems to be a key focus of his analysis whenever it comes up.

The very small number of people who are, say, swingers and have a healthy relationship don't call. It's the screwballs who were abused by their step-fathers and were talked into doing it with their best friend and their boyfriend who call. Same with non-alcoholic, occasional pot smokers and people who actually like anal once in a while. I'm sure they're out there in very small numbers, but all those activities are usually the result of trauma in the people who call the show. Look at it from Drew's point of view. He sees tons of alcoholics and many of them exhibit these behaviors as a result of trauma, and these are the same people calling the show.

FruMoogle posted:Probably better than mine. My name is... Juan Hernandez. Another perennial favorite - "I'm gonna stay out of trouble!" A few thoughts on bisexuality, which are probably going to piss off some people, but this is a Loveline thread goddamn it. Bisexuality makes no goddamn sense. It cuts your chances of reproduction in half, while your chances of catching a disease don't change. Since Drew often examines the biological imperatives behind human behavior, he can't make evolutionary sense of bisexuality. It's possible that it's something that has further developed to keep humans from overbreeding, but who knows? (Yes, you could say the same of homosexuality, but I think Drew doesn't touch that very much because it's such a cultural hotbutton.) Anyway, plenty of people identify as bi who really aren't. It's become a way for confused adolescent girls to feel like they "belong" somewhere while, as a bonus, pissing off their parents. Malachi Constant is right - most everyone calling the show is in some kind of chaos, and bisexuals in chaos are bisexuals who are confused about their orientation, 99% of the time.

That is, being bi always seems to be a key focus of his analysis whenever it comes up. I also remember them saying on several occasions that a lot women have at least a brief fantasy about other women, and that, that is fine. Yeah he does have a tendency to focus on the unhealthy aspects; but people wouldn't be calling if something wasn't destructive about it in their lives, or they weren't disturbed by these feelings. They also have talked about on several occasions that women are more "sexually pliable" and more likely to swing from one sex to the other. I got the impression that unless this leads to outright sexual acts on more than one occasion that it's fine. I have heard them being accepting of someone's bi-sexuality before, even a man's they "gave their blessing" to. Most aren't calling with a well I'm bi what do you think of that Mr. Judgmental. Listen to more and you will find it. But that's not the norm, because those that call in (this is sorta the key) usually have some sorta of issue around it. Edit: I know you aren't trolling, and I know they usually ask questions right off the bat, but it's a talk show, and if someone called and said "hey I'm bi is something wrong with me" and they said great it's fine and hung up, that wouldn't make for a super call or a show.

Drew often says that young people who claim they're bisexual can usually be placed in two categories. Either they're gay people who don't want to fully admit it, so they hold on to the bisexual idea so they can feel slightly more normal, or they're straight people who are trying to rebel against their parents. Adam and Drew would always tell a 14 year old who claims she/he was bi that they're too young to even know what they were anyway. I think Drew's just really wary of bisexuals, based on his experience.

I listen to an episode a day at work, and finally heard the episode where Adam explains he and Jimmy's experience with pot-brownies on a flight he just got off of, and about 20 minutes into the show the Culver City Police enter the studio and administer a sobriety test for Adam, who swears up and down he's not high. It's 08-08-02. It's interesting for several reasons: Adam doesn't berate the cop at all, instead directing all his surly aggression right at Drew, who is kinda trying to make wise-rear end comments during the tests. Drew, after seeing Adam fail several of the tests, is concerned that Adam shouldn't drive home after the show. Anderson is concerned with the equipment in the room where the test is taking place. The episode is actually a pretty good one. Towards the end it includes a smoke-alarm call plus a mason-jar joke.

Grand Fromage posted:Judging by his statements, yes. He thinks Arabs hate everyone and are incapable of being dealt with rationally, they only respond to violence. I doubt he has any idea that places like Iran were once very popular American vacation destinations. I don't know what you're trying to prove here, since his own statements adequately demonstrate a significant lack of knowledge about the Middle East. Carolla's Loveline years don't seem to indicate that he thinks all Arabs hate the U.S. and therefore it is impossible to engage any country in the region rationally. He has had plenty of bad things to say about conservative Arabs who partake in normalized abuse (such as female circumcision) and those who dislike western influence, but he knows there are more progressive Arabs out there and he has commented on it a time or two. I remember a call close to 9/11 where a girl was very offended that Carolla had seemingly lumped all Arabs into one big pile of anti-U.S. sentiment when telling Drew how much he disliked the qualifiers that many clerics added after their condemnation of the attacks. Carolla was pretty quick to clarify for her that this did not mean he felt all of the Middle East was a "problem" or that everyone in the region held anti-U.S. sentiments. quote:I don't want to drag the thread off topic, but there's not really an argument. He knows a lot more about World War 2 than the average person but that doesn't make him a Middle Eastern scholar. I agree with you that Carolla knows little about the Middle East, but that was not the argument you framed above. There is no arguing with the fact Carolla is no scholar on the Middle East, but he acknowledges that not all Arabs fall under the same umbrella from an ideological standpoint. He may know little about the Middle East but he has rarely spoken out against those who hold more progressive stances in that area of the world. Passing comments that generalize along the lines of "those people..." is as far as he has gotten. When prodded he has made the distinction between those who promote hateful anti-U.S. sentiment and those who do not. If he has explicitly said otherwise on his new show then please let me know.

Which means he'll be the one that they have race the cars around a test track to compare them against other vehicles (aka the Stig, if you've ever watched Top Gear). Top Gear is an awesome show, should be interesting to see it in Carolla's hands. He loves cars and he loves to talk, but I wonder if that kind of a show can really last on NBC? Either way, I think this would be Adam's first hosting gig on a national TV network. All his other stuff has been on cable.

No idea, but according to this article: http://jalopnik.com/396266/who-is-tanner-foust he's a pretty badass racer / stunt driver, but not much of a host. Hopefully he'll spend most of his time driving and occasionally discussing the various details of how the car handled and such and leave the rest of the commentary up to the pros.

Has there actually been an American car that he has spoken highly of during his years in Loveline? Carolla has made his contempt for American cars pretty clear over the years. Muscle cars from the 70s have even received their own rants.
