After 17 years of obsessively organizing and archiving Loveline the impossible happened and Superfan Giovanni was put in charge of the official archive, it's like King Ralph but not really.
CLL #896 (feat. Henry Rollins) – 03/07/1999 – Sunday Night Show
Source – Tobydog Tape (2009)
This is the only known source for sadly incomplete episode, with just over the 1st hour of the episode and no other audio sources to use for patching. I hate it when this still happens, it’s a solid episode for the first half, Henry is making his 3rd appearance of the Adam era and possibly his 3rd appearance on the show ever, he has 4 more appearances yet to come, once in 2000, twice in 2001 and his final visit of the Adam era in 2002. He also was in studio but off mic for at least one, possibly all of Kari Wuhrer’s Loveline appearances during the Adam Carolla era. Henry is somewhat less intense in this episode than his previous appearances. Dr. Drew is in Seattle chasing nickels and Adam is holding down the fort. Dr. Drew is experiecning a delay and the guys are bleeding through his cans for part of the show, they eventually iron out the kinks and adjust their timing and Drew’s headphone volume. Adam tells the “Chinatown Pinsky Boy” story. The episode is just over 50% complete.
From Wiki: Henry Lawrence Garfield (born February 13, 1961), better known by his stage name Henry Rollins, is an American musician, actor, writer, television and radio host, and comedian.[1][2][3] He hosts a weekly radio show on KCRW, and is a regular columnist for LA Weekly and Rolling Stone Australia.[4]
After performing in the short-lived Washington, D.C. band State of Alert in 1980, Rollins fronted the California hardcore punk band Black Flag from August 1981 until mid-1986. Following the band’s breakup, Rollins established the record label and publishing company 2.13.61 to release his spoken word albums, and formed the Rollins Band, which toured with a number of lineups from 1987 until 2003, and during 2006.
As of 2013, Rollins is the host of the educational history television series 10 Things You Don’t Know About, joining the show for its second and third seasons.
CLL #895 (feat. Rob Schneider) – 03/04/1999 – Thursday Night Show
Source –Lost Tape (2017) with Tobydog Tape (2009) Patches
This is a brand new merging of the newest acquired source with patches from the existing Toby Tape, the majority of the episode is the newly acquired “Lost Tape” and has perfect audio. the tape flip and closing break both have patches. This episode is 100% complete, Rob is making his first of six known appearances on the show, he also has a week of guest hosting in November 2005 after Adam departed the show. Rob had at least two, possibly three bookings scheduled for 1999 before finally making it into the studio, he was previously booked for CLL #865 and CLL #880. Rob has two known appearances on MTV LL, he guested on episodes that aired on March 18th 1999 and December 7th 1999 with Eddie Griffin promoting ‘Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.’ Rob is a very complimentary and enthusiastic guest, Rob praises Adam and Drew’s book and the guys get a suggestion from a caller on finishing their mock PSA from CLL #894.
From Wiki: Robert Michael Schneider (born October 31, 1963) is an American actor, comedian, screenwriter, and director. A stand-up comic and veteran of the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, he went on to a successful career in feature films, including starring roles in the comedy films Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, The Hot Chick, The Benchwarmers, and Grown Ups.
LLT Notes:
Rob is not in the studio when the show starts. Drew said he saw him earlier in the day when they were doing PI before. Adam says Rob has been booked on the show before but canceled. Drew suggest he is at Bill Maher’s house. Adam wonders why he never gets to go to parties at fellow celebrities. Engineer Mike accuses Adam of going to Home Depot with Patrick Dempsey. Apparently that was so he would stop borrowing all of Adam’s tools. Adam does say he’s gone to Kathy Griffin’s house but other than that doesn’t get to do anything with celebrities. Engineer Mike then brings up the fact that Adam was at the Grammys with The Dixie Chix a few nights ago. Adam suggests engineer Mike shuts his own mic off.
Caller Jason asks if Adam and Drew have finished their PSA from the night before. It’s not finished yet but Drew does say it include McGruff and Smokey the Bear “fisting in the woods.” Jason then has his own idea for a PSA.
Adam goes off on fans coming up to him and Drew and explaining the relationship they have.
Coming back from the first break, Rob is now in the studio. He praises Adam and Drew’s book.
CLL #894 (feat. The Love Between The Two Hosts) – 03/03/1999 – Wednesday Night Show
Source –Kevin Tape (2016) with Tobydog Tape (2009) Patches
This is a brand new merging of the newest acquired source with patches from the existing Toby Tape, This episode features a bogus caller, a caller who Drew deems to young to listen let alone call in to talk about masturbation and Adam rants about PSAs with Dr. Drew, mocking McGruff the Crime Dog and the “Airline turbulence safety tips” PSA. Adam and Drew would mock these same PSAs for the next 6+ years on Loveline, to this very day in 2017 they still bring them up, that’s how truly bad these spots are. Adam and Drew attempt to create their own PSA which actually carries over into the next show for CLL #895. This show is only missing the closing break and is over 99% complete.
LLT Notes:
Adam introduces Drew as a bored certified physician. Drew asks him if he’s taking the antibiotic he’s been prescribed. Adam goes on to rant about the child proof caps on medicine bottles. He thinks there should be an “adult lid” included with bottles so single folk don’t have to mess around with the child proof ones.
Drew says stoners may get confused by the name lid and think they’re buying weed.
A caller says he has an abrasion on his finger that has left some pink flesh exposed. Adam says he recently rented the movie Pink Flesh Exposed.
When Adam says Rob Schneider will be on the show tomorrow, Drew says he’s doing Politically Incorrect with him earlier in the day. Adam suggests Drew have him come home and entertain his kids over dinner.
Caller Chad claims to have wacked off in class but is busted for being bogus when he repeats Adam’s question.
12 year old caller Philip calls with a masturbation question. Drew tells him not to listen to the show because he’s too young.
When Adam says he didn’t start whacking off till 16, engineer Mike says he didn’t start till he was 18.
Coming back from a break, Adam says there is a new batch of PSA’s he has to listen to every night. He rants about McGruff the crime dog and yells at Drew for reading during his rant. It sounds like this is the first time Adam hears and brings up the airplane turbulence PSA.
They listen to it over the air and Adam goes off on how stupid it is. They actually plan on recording their own PSA after the show.
Adam freaks on a caller for not writing down a number that Drew read off. He also suggests the morning after pill be in gumball machines.
A kid from Cincinnati says he works at a local grocery store that Adam Drew have never heard of. He is on Ritalin and is snorting it to get high. Drew says River Phoenix died from the same sort of drug.
CLL #893 (feat. Molly Culver) – 03/02/1999 – Tuesday Night Show
Source –Kevin Tape (2016) with Tobydog Tape (2009) Patches
This is a brand new merging of the only known sources for this episode, it’s 100% complete. Molly is making her first of two CLL visits, she returns to the show for CLL #1163 from March of 2000. Molly also has at least one MTV Loveline appearance, which aired on on July 11th 2000, there may be an appearance from 1999 as well, it’s still unclear. Adam is full of amazing quotes in this one, scroll down below to read them or to copy/paste them elsewhere. Dr. Drew mentions DrDrew.com which was previously considered the first on air mention but is now uncertain with all of the newly recovered audio. Molly was definitely in Adam’s “Wheelhouse” as he proclaimed many times, so he’s in rare form entertaining her.
From Wiki: Molly Culver (born July 18, 1967 in Santa Clara County, California) is an American actress and model of 1/4 Chickasaw/Choctaw descent. She is best known for portraying the role of Tasha Dexter on the syndicated TV series V.I.P..
Adam: “I think murderers tend to litter more”
Adam: “Anytime you take a bunch of people and they break off on their own, someone gets molested. You can’t even go camping without someone getting a finger in them. As soon as you hit the wilderness, everyone just starts raping.”
Adam: “I can tell you – I’ve had more than 4 in a day.”…..
Drew: “Did anything come out the 5th and 6th time?”
Adam: “The 5th time, just a, uh powder – just like a talcum burst came out. Folks came into the room and were blinded. Then the 6th time – just that stick with the flag that says ‘BANG!’ on it. And then the 7th time, that’s when the ghost came out. WoOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOO! And then it’s mouth opened up real big and it went right over me and went up the chimney.”

CLL #892 (feat. The Love Between The Two Hosts) – 03/01/1999 – Monday Night Show
Source –Kevin Tape (2016) with Tobydog Tape (2009) Patches
This is a brand new merging of the newest acquired source with patches from the existing Toby Tape, the missing 40 minutes of show content has finally been restored after over 18 years, Adam rants about psychics, argues with a caller about sterilization and gets into it with a caller claiming to be a feminist. It’s a Full Moon show with a theme of angry female callers who have rants, one even has prepared statements. Considered by many to be a perfect episode, we now get to hear the full show and see if it’s even superior than previously thought, let’s all listen together and find out!
CLL #891 (feat. The Love Between The Two Hosts) – 02/28/1999 – Sunday Night Show
Source – Tobydog Tape (2008)
This is a newly processed variant of an old Toby tape, never before shared on LovelineTapes. The pitch was off for this episode, a slight adjustment has it much closer to the correct tone and it’s now very listenable, Adam is sick and stuffed up so he does sound different, more nasally and his vocal tone is off, so adjusting pitch was a challenge as the music and Dr. Drew’s timbre were the only reliable audio sources. This show has never been fixed nor shared online since I first recovered it almost 10 years ago. Even I do not recall what happens, let’s all listen and find out!

CLL #890 (feat. Miguel Ferrer) – 02/25/1999 – Thursday Night Show
Source –Lost Tape (2017) with Kevin Tape (2016) and Tobydog Tape (2009) Patches
This is a brand new merging of the newest acquired sources with patches from the existing Toby Tape, the majority of the episode is the newly acquired “Lost Tape” and has perfect audio, the tape flip and closing break both have patches. This episode is 100% complete, Miguel is making his only CLL appearance. This episode features some gambling and a very rare non bogus “Stepmom HJ” call. Drew tells Adam about smoking pot while in college and a caller shares his impression of Adam, Miguel stays for the majority of the show and leaves late in the 2nd hour.
From Wiki: Miguel José Ferrer (February 7, 1955 – January 19, 2017) was an American actor. His breakthrough role was the OCP Vice-president Bob Morton in the 1987 film RoboCop. Other film roles include Commander Harbinger in Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993), Shan Yu in Mulan (1998), Eduardo Ruiz in Traffic (2000) and Vice President Rodriguez in Iron Man 3 (2013). Ferrer’s notable television roles include FBI Agent Albert Rosenfield on Twin Peaks (1990–1991, 2017), Dr. Garret Macy on Crossing Jordan (2001–2007) and NCIS Assistant Director Owen Granger on NCIS: Los Angeles (2012–2017). He was the son of actor José Ferrer and singer Rosemary Clooney.
LLT Notes: Miguel Ferrer is on promoting Lateline the short lived but great Al Franken series from NBC, Adam calls Al a comedians comedian and claims he read his last book even though he has never even read the book him and Drew wrote.
Miguel discusses a play he is doing with Jenna Elfman and his family, his mother is Rosemary Clooney.
A extremely rare non bogus step mom hand job call, Adam and Drew actually buy into the call due to the callers genuine affect.
Miguel gives the very long complicated history behind the series Lateline, Miguel is a great guest and really seems to dig the show and the humor.
Caller Colin asks about the morning after pill and then he transitions into his fantastic Adam Carolla impression and Adam even lets him take a call.
Colin actually manages to not only sound like Adam but also use his same inflections and mannerisms.
Adam calls Colin’s impression “an eerie likeness” then quotes his favorite Adam riff.
Miguel discusses being nominated for a Grammy and how odd it would be if he won a Grammy before his mother ever did.
Adam “…I bet I do a better Colin than you do though, Colin…”.
Phone screener Sherry wants Adam to do his David Viscott impression, a deceased L.A area radio therapist, Adam then does a quick rendition of David.
Drew, Adam and Miguel do some old school gambling on a female caller who set Adam off with her hostility after a less than a minute, of course Miguel does not have even one dollar on him keeping the streak of guests never having money, alive.
Drew references a standout hostile female caller from the previous nights show with Tia Carerre.
Miguel really gets into the gambling and Adam gets on his case for being unable to come up with a bet.
Adam goes off on the concept of Latch Key kids and how it seems all kids are now Latch Key Kids so they have stopped using the term.
Drew shares a great story of a man being put under with curare and anesthesia however the anesthesia was never properly administered to him and he was paralyzed but wide awake the entire procedure.
Adam mentions his love for Adrian Barbeau and Dr.Drew quickly mentions the Dixie Chicks which Adam wants to blow past but Miguel gets really interested so Adam gives a brief recap of the previous nights Grammy awards and how he was Natalie Maines date even though he is seeing someone, this is well before he realized he was being pranked.
Miguel takes off after the 1:40 mark of the night, Adam and Drew finish up the show with the LBT2H(Love Between The Two Hosts).
One the last callers asks Drew if he ever smoked pot and he admits to smoking during college and then Adam goes off on how odd it is that any thing seems acceptable as long as you say you did while in college.
Drew mentions he was never a fan of pot and then Adam goes off on what drugs suit which people best and then comments that MTV’s Kennedy could use some weed to mellow out.
CLL #889 (feat. Tia Carrere) – 02/24/1999 – Wednesday Night Show
Source –Kevin Tape (2016) with Tobydog Tape (2009) Patches
This is a brand new merging of the newest acquired source with patches from the existing Toby Tape, Tia is making her first of two known CLL visits, she returns in December of 2002 and she may have a lost visit previous to this one, it’s unclear. She also has two MTV Loveline appearances, she guested on MTV LL 03/03/1999 and again on 02/23/2000. The show starts with Dr. Drew attempting to run the ship and Tia already in studio. Adam joins them from the back of a limo for part of the first break and then makes it to the studio in time to open the 2nd segment, Adam has a buzz on and is in rare form. Adam is fresh from accompanying Natalie Maines to the Grammy Awards and is still unaware of the prank machinations of one Jimmy Kimmel.
LLT Notes: Drew starts the show by saying he will actually read the faxes because Adam is at the Grammy awards with Natalie from Dixie Chix. This is where the infamous Dixie Chix prank came from.
Drew is looking forward to taking calls without Adam slowing everything down but all of a sudden Adam is heard talking on the phone. He calls Tia the most beautiful woman in the world and that he’s in the back of a town car on the way to the studio. Adam sounds a bit drunk. He admits to having a couple drinks but is not loaded.
Drew says he saw Adam on tv with the Dixie Chix when they won. Adam goes on to talk some more but engineer Mike hangs up on him.
Just as they go into the second call Adam enters the studio. He is wearing a tux and is upset about having to sit in Drew’s chair.
When Adam says his girlfriend may kill him for the whole Dixie Chix thing, Drew says his wife may kill him also. Adam says he wasn’t sure what to do when they won. He couldn’t hug anyone or it would look bad. When Tia asks why Natalie asked him to go, Adam says it was because she heard him talking about farting and then
fanning it up to his face.
A girl stands up for home schooled kids. She yaps on and on about meeting with other kids in a park once a week and being able to go for walks.
Adam tries to talk to her about what she does the rest of the week but she is impossible and drives him insane. Drew eventually decides to go on to the next call.
A girl who has kids talks about her husband being a 24 year old Nintendo addicted insomniac.
Drew calls bogus on a call very early into it. He goes to set up the break and Adam yells at him because he’s still sitting in the wrong chair. When they come back from they break they are in their regular chairs again.
Drew says MTV is about to start airing Loveline the tv show at 11:00 in the morning. Adam says when he was walking out of the Grammys some guy yelled “MTV sucks,” as he walked by. Adam just looked at him and said “yep.”
Tia says Adam tux doesn’t match too well. He talks about a stylist trying to get a suite ready for him but the designer sizes running small.
Producer attacks Adam for sitting next to Natalie while the other two girl’s husbands were not.
12 year old caller Ashley talks about finding porn in her 15 year old brother’s room. I swear I heard a smoke detector chirp at 35:33.
Adam makes an analogy about measuring how far away planets are and Drew ruins it.
Tia points out Adam keeps saying “Y’all.” Adam actually compliments Celine Dion’s singing and gets the “yer gay” Drew drop.
Caller Angie talks sort of like a robot. When she says her boyfriends sells real estate, Adam goes off on real estate guys just barely being above car salesmen.
Tia has to leave early but Adam tries to see what she thinks of him before she goes. She says she would go out with him if she wasn’t married but he doesn’t buy it.
Drew gives a girl a phone number to call. When he asks her to write a second one down Adam yells at him for confusing her with all the numbers. He says if they went camping, Drew would light the fire inside of the tent.
Adam asks what band is playing the bumper and calls Drew “The gayest homosexual ever,” for not knowing. This is followed by a couple OOC Drew drops.
Drew talks about an antibacterial deodorant called betadine douche. Adam yells about girls in commercials jumping around in fountains and there not being any cops around to stop them.
Adam makes fun of an overweight women’s clothing store called “The Forgotten Woman.”
Near the end of the show Adam says he’s all joked out and has had it because he’s so tired. The stupid Morrell twins laughing drop is played and it almost puts him over the edge.
As the show ends Dr. Drew says he wrote an article for T.V. guide. Adam has some really bad gas at the end and subjects Drew to the smell.
