Q and Ace
1st Caller Tami, she wants to know why Adam adding a gender to the aspect of his daughter’s personality that likes him more now that he’s on T.V.
Tami is either forgetting or conveniently leaving off the part where Dr. Drew insists this is distinctively female and has to do with the biological and brain differences in men and women.
