We're Dr. Drew and Mike Catherwood, hosts of the radio show "Loveline," Ask Us Anything!

What are your thoughts on Dan Savage?

Drew: I support gay marriage. I'm not familiar with Dan Savage though.

I find this very hard to believe...

Tyler here. I was a bit surprised too. I mentioned that he was a sex advice columnist, host of the "savage love" podcast and one of the founders of the "it gets better" project. He genuinely seemed unaware of who Dan Savage is.

dr drew, what's your take on marijuana?

Drew: To sum it up: I don't care. If people like it, I'm happy for them. If they decide they need help stopping, I can help.

edit: removed placehold with actual answer.

You were funnier with Adam Carolla.

J/k!

What are some outrageous calls you couldn't take on air? I'm sure they have to go through screening first?

Tyler here. I screened calls for two years on the show. We prefer outrageous calls - makes the screener's job way easier! A DP call will always beat out a question about "the pill."

We do much more weeding out of overly medical, boring, or clearly fake calls. The only way we wouldn't take an "outrageous" call is if it had to do with a murder or some other heinous/illegal act.

I miss Carolla and Anderson.

Anderson is sitting 2 feet from me...

Oh I haven't listened since Adam left. I thought he was gone. I've listened to every episode from 2000 to 2005 a hundred times.

Edit: I really like the episode when Anderson was drunk

Anderson says "Then you'll love tonight's!"

Back in the day Adam used to always hear people's smoke detectors beeping because of low battery. Was this legit or was the beeping just a drop?

Legit. still happens to this day.

Are you Mormon?

Do you ride bicycles?

Dr. Drew,

In your more than 20 years as host of loveline, what's the best call you've ever received jk it was Laurine the holocaust-loving phone sex operator.

She actually called in recently.

What do you think about abstinence only education?

Drew: I wish it worked.

Wow! OK, um...guess I'll start with something relatively easy. Have you ever taken a call/question that was so humorously odd or disturbingly out there that it struck you past your on-air professionalism?

Mike: The shit dildos call definitely stuck me.

Is this call posted online anywhere?

Enjoy. http://lovelineshow.com/b/At-Least-Use-a-Carrot-or-Something/-692325442700344523.html

Drew, HUGE FAN! I Heard your name lumped in with Dr phil, Dr laura, etc. and i wanted to reach into the tv and bitchslap the ill informed host of the show. how do you feel about/deal with being lumped in with those hacks? you being a REAL doctor, and addiction medicine specialist

DC

Drew: I like when it's lumped in with Dr. Oz and Dr. Gupta.

Have you ever become so concerned with the question a caller asked that you felt compelled to follow up with the person later?

Tyler here - I can confirm that on multiple occasions the guys have asked callers to call back and update them on how things go - whether it be for comedic or genuine reasons.

How often do they call back?

Many do. Sometimes we get their phone numbers so that we can follow up on our own.

Dr. Drew,

Gary Busy... bat shit crazy or has-life-figured-out mastermind?

Drew: Had a terrible brain injury in a motorcycle accident....

Tyler, why are you dicking around on Reddit when you should be focusing on getting all the archives to Giovanni?

I accidentally threw all the archives away. TylerRuinsArchives.

What was your favorite Germany or Florida headline? I loved that bit back in the day.

I haven't listened to Loveline in awhile, but I learned a lot about the world through it. Thank you!

Drew: the best one's were subtle. they don't exactly stick out.

Have you heard from Steve-O recently? How's he doing?

Mike: I think he's been sober for 3 years now.

Tyler: He was on the show two weeks ago promoting his new book.

Dr. Drew: How do you manage to work so much and have any time left? You must have damn good time management skills. It seems like your daily schedule must be outrageous.

Also, what was it like to work with Adam Carolla? How similar is his on-air persona to his off-air one?

I wish Loveline aired in Tallahassee.

Drew: I do. Adam is much more quiet off-air. But he will "hold court" once in a while.

Tyler, thanks much for bringing Loveline into the 21st century with all of your l33t web skillz. I'm a paying subscriber and longtime fan, truly thrilled to have Loveline coming back from its post-Carolla slump (aka the Year of Striker). Mike, you're exactly what the show needed. Questions for the crew:

1) Mike: have you seen Lacey Schwimmer (for the uninformed, his dance partner on DWTS) nude? If so, rank her on a scale of 1 to ZOMGHOT.

2) Drew: now that the triplets are graduating and heading for college (congrats to all), how many additional television programs do you intend to host?

3) Anyone: what is the correct pronounciation of (engineer) Anderson's last name? I've heard it many ways, and no definitive word.

1) Mike says "What do you think?"

2) Drew says: I hope the ones I have survive so I can one day pay for graduate school too.

I believe you're looking for a "Carrrooollla"

DAG nights were popcorn nights.

When I was a kid someone gave me a poster (which is also a book) called Everything I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten.

A lot of it is still true, but I like to think that Everything I Learned About Not Being An Idiot I Got From Loveline.

Thanks for your work and dedication.

Here's my question for Dr. Drew: What are you using for moisturizer? Because your face is fucking ageless, wtf man?

Drew: chuckle Retin A.

Dr. Drew, how come you never talk about ibogaine therapy for opiate addiction? Are you aware of the work being done by Deborah Mash at the University of Miami School of Medicine?

Drew: Because it only lasts for about 6 months. Everyone I've seen go through suffers from permanent personality change. Not sure who Deborah Mash is but I'm glad she's doing more research on it (if that's her focus.)

What is the drop source of the newscaster-type guy saying "bu buu bu bukkake?"

That's Tom Brokaw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AZtWGB1Khc

r/loveline has been a bit stagnant lately, let's get some fresh blood in there!

I'm all out blood.

I'd like to know Dr. Drew's stance on a "moderation" approach to treating alcoholism as opposed to abstinence.

Drew: "wish it worked. many have tried."

Tyler, did you set this up? Ruining more than radio, aren't we??

Ruining anything I can get my filthy little hands on. ಠ_ಠ

Love the show an I live Mike's voices-but do either of you ever get tired of doing/hearing them? Or is Mike tired of singing the "Stinky Pinky" theme? Again-I love it...

Mike: The hardest character for me to stay in is Spencer Pratt because I hate him so much. He's such a terrible guy and I don't want to "be him." I never get tired of singing the stinky pinky song. not one bit. not even for a second.

On a related note, how did you guys decide on "Epic Sax Guy" as the Stinky Pinky theme song? Because of that bit it's now my ringtone.

Tyler here: that was my absurd recommendation.

Can Dr Drew recommend any books on dealing with sexual trauma. Specifically at a young age?

Drew: Look up "Waking the Tiger"

Verified!

The questions are being answered via Tyler (Loveline's website manager) so the answers may be a little vague, short or delayed.

Drew: No questions, but thanks for your wonderful service. I've pretty much grown up with Loveline throughout the TV show and radio.

Thanks for the verification Phil!

Why do you charge for your podcast?

Unfortunately, that's Westwood One's call.

@ Mike: On a scale of 1-10, how "passionate" a man would you rate Dr. Drew?

@Dr. Drew: How "passionate" do you feel you are throughout your average day?

Mike: He's a fucking Judy Garland 42.

Drew: I'm a little tired to be passionate all day.

Why does Tyler ruin radio? I started listening a few months ago, but I never understood the joke behind that

It was a byproduct of me talking with Anderson, not realizing his mic was open and thus bleeding onto the air and confusing everyone. This, combined with a couple other mishaps (usually not my fault) have led to this moniker. At least it's better than "petey"

The only radio station that plays it in my area has poor reception and is never live (always the previous night's show). Do you know of a way to get the station to play the live shows, or am I stuck forever alone with a question?

Mellolizard, you can still call in with your question. 1800Love191 - best time to call is starting around 9:45pm pacific.
