Adam has a cool “old Loveline fan” share it intro, Adam talks about the conversation about pathology in the last episode and Adam brings up his memory about Ms. Komesar, for his generic health class.

Adam jokes about his sister running away and not being beat if she ever came back, Drew has an earnest reply and they move on.
1st Caller Paul, he’s newly sober from alcohol and his libido has dropped down to 0, Drew says it’s very common in early recovery.
Adam says your libido is like your weight, you’re not going to stop or start something and not effect it, it’s never business as usual after a big change.
Paul reveals he’s on antidepressants and Drew says this is the cause, there are alternative medicines he won’t name and Paul tells them about his sleep aid.
Adam and Drew talk to him about his childhood sexual abuse, Adam brings up the grooming that is required to set a kid up for that kind of abuse, he jokes about trying to molest his daughter and Drew agrees he would lose his face like that woman who was defaced by the chimp.
Adam talks about falling out of a window and limping to the jobsite the next day in fear he would be fired if he didn’t arrive, despite them being responsible for his fall and the shoddy scaffolding assembly.
Adam is now talking about the insane fall and his feet sliding down the stucco building, Adam threw the saw in the window and his face caught the concrete stair, he was screwed up and living at home, he limped into the living room and tried to see if his dad had a pulse and would react, he just sat there and did nothing.
Adam says it was so early into his work and he was in fear he would get into trouble, he explains how his kids would react and how they would feel about their rights.

Adam talks about his way of working back when he was 32, he talks about not needing to be effected by things emotionally, he says now things get broken down and evaluated, he used to just get up and work.
Adam is asking if Steve has a historical issue or if he was 32 now would Adam be struggling the same way, Steve is telling them about Remeron and his experience with it.
Steve brings up some other medication and Drew talks about his “Extend-O-boner” (priapism) and Steve conflates his mental health professional experience.
Adam asks if there are too many medications and if we are now trying to manage too many things we feel, Drew says the number 1 treatment for insomnia is sleep deprivation.
