Loveline fans?
Terri ble
seem to get many posts. I have been listening to loveline since I was
17 (I'm now 23). I used to record the show and listen to it at work
the next day. My tape recorder recently broke so now I stay up til
midnight and listen. I really wish that more fans would post here so
that we could all discuss the show. What's your favorite moment or
call. Mine was when a woman called in to yell at Drew and Adam.
Earlier in the night a girl had called in and said that she couldn't
give her baby up for adoption even though the father was a bad person
and they weren't together. Drew and Adam told her that it would be
best for the child. The woman called in and said that she had three
children and was working full time, going to school full time and
being a full time mother. Drew and Adam asked her how she could do
all three things full time because that was impossible. The woman
kept getting angrier and angrier because they pointed out that she
only saw her kids on the weekends and at night and that wasn't being a
full time mother. I love Drew and Adam. They are one of the "Real"
voices on the radio. If there are any other diehard fans, email me or
post. Terri(ble)

Sometimes I fear that anyone capable of actually appreciating the show
wouldn't want to listen.

It's a great show, due imo to Adm's comic genius.
I've only been listening for a few months cause I didnt know about the
show...only knew Adam from Man Show, and his appearances on Stern.
I can't understand why this ng is so quiet either, perhaps it's in part
because the stations seem not to air the same episode, (in each market). So
'last nights show', is not uniform.
Don't really have a fav rant/call yet, but if I had to pick, it would be the
dumb 'phone-sex' chick, who was 'just siting here thinking about the
haulicost(sp)'
BTW Drew's a good guy, but the show puts me to sleep when Adam is not
there.

That was one of the funniest things that I have ever heard. I about
spit water all over my computer when she said that. I wish that I had
recorded it. I'm sure they will play it again.

Speaking for myself, I live and grew up in L.A. and I've been listening to
Love Line on 106.7 FM KROQ since 1984. Naturally this was back when it was
a small local show hosted by "The Poorman" and Scott Mason. Two well
intentioned local DJ's just trying to help some kids out. Instead of Dr.
Drew they had Lee Albert attorney at law. Lee would advise listeners on
what legal recourses they had when it came to things like drugs, sexual
asault, divorce, etc... In fact, think the current show could probably use
the occational guest doeling out legal advice again.
I also remeber when Dr. Drew then young, single, barely out of medical
school, and very nervous, first came on the air. I've even called made it
on the air a few times myself over the years.

OK, recent favorite calls (I can be up to a month behind. . . see
below).
(1) the invention of the pow;
(2) arguing with drew about dropping the coffee mug on the console;
(3) arguing with the dentist about needing the gas;
(4) the holocaust call was pretty good;
(5) I like the call where drew screamed at the caller "listen, Listen
LISTEN" -- it's now become a drew drop.
(6) I also loved it when they did that Jam with the dude from Blues
Traveler. . . drew on Bass and adam on guitar.
(7) I also love it when I hear Drew's pager going off and then I know
Adam is going to light up about it;
(8) the Jaywalking stories for Adam are always pretty amusing too (he
took to calling Burbank by the name "Rapebank" for a while. . .
(9) The recent story of Adam's proposal was pretty good too (he
proposed by his girlfriend nagging him and finally adam went "alright,
alright already."
(10) But my absolute favorite is when David Alan Grier comes on the
show and does the vomit sounds; and sings like the turkey songs, and
the cheerleader songs, and the "plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief
it is, rufies, the rape drug." [and the absolute best is when the
play the crazy screwed up messages david alan grier leaves for adam on
his machine."]
OK, I'm showing my true fan colors here.
I used to live in Boston and started listening to the show probably
about 1997. It was only on in Boston for a few years; then I received
it only sporadically off of the web while living in Boston. In the
meanwhile, the show was on the air in New Hampshire and a friend of
mine recorded the show so that she could listen to it during her
commute between NH and Boston. She shared those tapes with me.
I moved to California last October and I was worried I would have to
go without the tapes. But, my friend, Cathy, has diligently continued
to send the tapes out to me in California (San Diego). Then the
unthinkable happened: They took the show off of the air in New
Hampshire earlier this year (perhaps March or so?). The burden was
shifted.
We started talking about alternative solutions: Cathy considered
shipping her stereo out to me so that I could record it for what was
now our 3 person group (another friend of Cathy's took to listening to
the tapes as well). But, instead I went out and bought a new stereo
that had a timer function on it (it was pretty hard to find, but
Crutchfield was able to get one for me. . . it was like $250 bucks or
something). Every night I set it to record -- Sundays it's 11p-1a;
and Mon-Thu., it's 10p-12am. Since I'm on the west coast, I always
have the current show; I believe Central and East Coast get their show
one day later.
Anyhow, since it takes a week for tapes to get from San Diego to
Boston (I send out batches of ~20-30 tapes via ups. . . so basically,
4-6 weeks at a time). We also decided that it was time to increase
our "tape capacity". . . When I lived in Boston we had about 20 tapes.
I went and bought 50 120 minute cassette tapes wholesale (~$32 bucks,
you can easily buy off of ebay if you search for "122 AUDIO"). Now we
have ~70 tapes. Believe it or not, I think I'm going to buy some
more, as we're currently almost out.
We've taken to organizing things with Plastic ziplock bags to keep
everything straight, as the logistics and travel of these tapes on
their 6,000 mile round trip journey can be difficult.
For instance:
(1) Tape is recorded in machine;
(2) At the end of show, I then relabel tape with file folder label (if
I'm up past midnight I usually do it then, and then reset the timer
for the next show); otherwise, in the morning, I relabel the new tape
and then insert the next tape into the tape machine.
(3) I then take that tape and place it into a ziplock bag labelled "to
be listened to" with a date.
(4) I then bring that ziplock at some point in the week to my truck.
(5) After I'm finished listening to a tape in the truck I place it
into a second one gallon ziplock bag, entitled, "To Cola" (my friend
in Boston).
(6) Every now and again I then take that ziplock into the office and
dump it into a waiting box to be shipped.
(7) Every month or so (or sooner if Cola bitches :->) I dump the tapes
out to Cola via UPS (it's like $4 bucks to ship it).
[if I listen to tapes at home, it complicates things as it screws up
my routing of tapes. Usually I just segregate it into a separately
labelled "to cola" bag adn put it in my truck, knowing that it will
eventually end up in the box in my office]
And, when I receive tapes back from them, I throw it in a labelled 1
gallon bag and then bring it home and leave it next to my machine.
I've learned the hard way that you have to be really anal and
organized about tapes. Otherwise you're going to miss shows, or
record over shows or send tapes of shows to Boston that you haven't
listened to (and will never listen to as they'll come back and you'll
simply record over them). hence, this detailed planning.
it works great though. I was happy to learn recently that they
re-signed for something like another 3 years or so. . .
* * *
I now listen to the tapes whenever I'm driving around in my truck (as
you can tell, I haven't been doing much driving recently :->). And,
the tapes are absolutely perfect for long trips (either by plane or by
driving). Although, my neighbors often don't undersand why I'm
laughing my ass off during the plane ride.
Happy to chat with other loveline fans :->

I remember those days too. I used to live in Pasadena back then and listened
to it as an early teen. I couldn't stand Poorman. Having Lee Albert around
was good (wasn't he on along with Dr. Drew?) but now that the show is
countrywide, legal issues vary from state to state.
Now, I feel with Adam, the show is better than ever. He is a true comedic
talent, and has good philosophical insight on the human plight. Dr. Drew has
the smarts, but he has no real personality, and the times he tries to be
humorous by making snide remarks about the callers, it just sounds like he
is trying to "keep up with Adam". Since, when Adam's not there, Drew isn't
like that at all, and whips through the callers like they are patients he's
ushering in and out of his office, thinking "the more, the better". And
that just gets dull. I think people tune in these days for entertainment, I
don't know if the vast majority are listening for medical help. After all,
if people were really listening to Dr. Drew, why are there so many callers
asking the same things that have been answered over and over again? Like:
"I'm a 19 year old girl and just cannot get an orgasm!" "That is perfectly
normal for a woman your age, " Drew will say. And the girl will say, "What?
Really, that's normal?!?" Man, that is really getting boring. I'd rather
hear a good Adam rant!
Whatever happened with Poorman? I listen out of Seattle now, so I'm out of
touch. What is the address of the new KROQ station? What was wrong with
their Burbank one, does anyone know the reason for that move?

they upload them the next morning in a commercial free form. I have been
saving them for about 2 months now. I figure 3 months worth goes on 2 cds.

I recorded it from the next day. Not sure it was worth all the
build-up, but it was still pretty good.

one of the best shows on the radio dial. It helps people,especially
young adults, cope and deal with real situations and Corolla provides
much needed comic relief. Everyone has their quirks, compulsions,
emotions. This show has helped a lot of people feel less "weird" about
their selves. Way to go Adam and Dr. Drew!! Two cool dudes.
