Loveline was amusing but the combination of the incredible stupidity of the callers' and Carolla and Drew's condescension starts to wear after a while. Also I think Drew might be as insane as Carolla. I remember one time he posited that the sexual liberation of the 60s and 70s resulted in massive amounts of child molestation. Like, even if you concede that might be true I seriously doubt he's got anything to back it up other than his weirdo hangups.

We're talking an era where nambla openly matched in pride parades. He's probably right

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Look for Drew 's birthday episode in 2001. It's just before 9/11. Adam has uncontrollable gas and smokes Drew out of the studio and into the hallway. He keeps interrupting the callers to rip farts into the mic. I laugh like a hyena every time I listen to this episode.

I got morbidly curious the other night and listened to the episode from 9/11 and they were just taking calls from people and letting them vent about how they felt. One of the callers was a New Zealander who had recently moved to the US and she said that she'd never seen a country of that many people pull together like that, and the very next call was an 18 year old kid who said he saw what happened and immediately enlisted in the army.

That's weird that they wouldn't because I remember after 9/11 there were tons of stories of Muslims getting bullied and also stories of people gathering around and protecting mosques and whatnot.

I used to LOVE loveline back when I was a teenager and into my early twenties and listened pretty religiously from about '97 until Adam left the show. It was my end of the day decompression ritual to smoke a bowl or two, kick back, and listen to Adam slam stupid teenagers and Drew dispense shoddy medical advice. I even had about 100 episodes on cassette tapes, lol. Now there's http://www.lovelinetapes.com/ if you want to relive those glory days before Adam turned into California Hitler or whatever he is now and Drew prostituted himself completely. Oddly enough it was a very progressive show for its time and one of the only pieces of media that helped me accept my gayness (because they didn't hate on gay people, or if they did, it was a lot less than most people were back then).

Yeah; Loveline was a legit oasis of sensible sex ed in an era when there was nothin online besides porn and jackinworld.

"Go get a pelvic exam. Use condoms. Go to Planned Parenthood if you can't afford either or your parents won't let you. Don't. Get. Pregnant." etc etc

e: a friend of mine had to get the morning after pill when we were 17 and loveline is the reason i knew how to get it

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
Had a girlfriend call in asking about condoms for feet.

We got to say mason jar to Dr. Drew. We won at Loveline.

For those that don't remember, "mason jar," was code for a fake call in. You hook em, then say mason jar, that's how you play.

Pretty sure it was one of the members of Pennywise.

Yep, here's the episode with the security footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uWgQfYO7aI

He threatened to take everyone to "poopoocity" which basically meant making GBS threads in his hand and doing things with it.

Here's the initial incident years earlier where he chased everyone around the studio trying to puke on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdAkEdczikw
