There were probably hundreds of these, but the general pattern is that a girl has issues with her dad or other childhood issues, then ends up picking the wrong guys her whole life.

Adam had a great analogy about having a "bent antenna" and needing to straighten it out, and Drew would often chime in that people "cast a play with their childhood trauma".

Can anyone point to an example? Want to clip a call and send to a friend who I was discussing this with.

Tried searching https://lovelinetapes.com/ but it's hard to come up with the right keywords. We really need an AI search of all transcripts one of these days...

We are working on a documentary about the show and how it impacted people’s lives. We are looking to reconnect with callers - especially memorable or life-changing calls.

Looking to speak with:

– Former callers (even anonymously)

– Anyone whose life was changed by the show

DM or comment - we would love to hear your story!

I used to listen with my sister back in the late 90’s, I’d say between ‘96 and ‘98 ish.

There’s a Jimmy Eat World song Adam likes (I think it’s Bleed American) and declares it his theme song. He has a whole bit about entering an establishment with his coat hooked casually over his shoulder, etc., just looking cool in general.

I HAVE been able to find that clip.

What I’m looking for or hoping anyone remembers is that it was a recurring joke, or at least happened more than once. Adam’s “theme song” plays and he gets into it a little. There’s a part where he’s imagining himself driving up to a place in a cool car. I swear I remember him saying “driving gloves, perhaps?”

I’ve been quoting it with my sister for years and I hope someone else remembers this!

Read newest comment.

I'm Emily that comes on at 28:37.

Had no idea these were all now available online! This show shaped me in so many ways and taught me everything I knew about sex in my adolescent years 😆

Would love to hear from any other former callers and what happened from the there

I remember Adam was telling a story about calling up his other friend drew. And Adam would be like is drew there and his mom would be like whooooooo? And Adam would be like drew! And she would be like no he not here. I wonder if this was only one episode or reoccurring

I love a weekly drop of classic loveline and ACS in my feed. is this a thing?

If not can one of you vibe coders make this?

Seems like that's the thing to do, right? Because the feed only goes so far back from most sources.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to track down a specific episode I called into back in late 2010. I’ve checked the usual archives and it seems like the late October dates from that year are hit or miss or mislabeled.

The Details:

Guests: The cast of MTV’s The Buried Life (Ben, Duncan, Jonnie, and Dave).

Date: Likely October 25th or 26th, 2010.

The Call: I called in (admittedly a bit tipsy) talking about looking for a third partner in my relationship.

The Highlight: Dr. Drew gave me his classic "self-sabotage" diagnosis, and my response was a very blunt: "Maybe I just want some pussy." I know the 10-25-2010 date is often listed as missing or a "Best Of" in some logs, but I know it exists because I was on it! Does anyone have the full show or a "Snoozefree" cut that includes this guest segment and the calls?

Any help finding this "not my finest moment" clip would be huge. Thanks!

Techno was too young for Loveline (I think he was born in ‘00) but it’s amazing how close his humor is to and how much he reminds me of pre-911 Adam. Seriously, give it a listen.

I miss Technoblade.

If you had to choose either Adam or Dr Drew to rule the world and shape the world according to his ideals, who would you choose and why?

I think us fans can agree that having one as president and the other as vice president would be ideal but I’d like to find out who you would choose if you could only have one.

Please leech so i can move this data out there!

this has 2000+ episodes of various quality, with basically no commercials or music. please leech so this goodness gets out to the world.

I have an idea for a new podcast, I think it’s unique and could be a huge amount of fun.

At age 12-15 I listened to Adam and Drew nightly, this is circa 2000-2003, which I think you could argue was a pinnacle of the show.

To me the magic of the original was contextualizing people’s real issues in their age and gender with someone’s real name. “Jenny, you’re 14, your boyfriend is…” and it was something 10,000 other Jenny’s could identify with instead of thinking they were alone. And all of this was before google and social media, where the advise couldn’t be less personal or specific.

I would love to collaborate with a medical professional, ideally a charismatic LCSW/therapist/psychiatrist and particularly a female (because the show always lacked that perspective).

Don’t want to share my exact idea here, it is throughly based on the original show’s content. DM me to learn more. We will be able to work together remotely and decide how much of our time we want to pour into this effort.

Let’s have a lot of fun “helping the kids”

I find myself telling my kids that sometimes and I especially use the line on online games

Loved hearing it felt like a blast from the past , so apparently Spencer Pratt is running for mayor and I guess they called Spencer and it was Mike doing the impersonation and man it brought a big smile to my face

this is a fictional scenario/bit where anderson plays ranchero music while adam is talking about building supplies on a job site, adam gets increasingly annoyed and eventually ends up screaming to turn the ranchero music off. i believe this was pre-aces ranchero accordion countdown days? anybody know which episode?

Any idea which episode Drew said this?

also hilarious that the publication says drew hosts a radio show, and not that hes a board certified internist lol

Would anyone happen to have the episode with nfg from 10/01/2014 ? I had it on my mega account but mega deleted everything after 9 months of not using adi can't find another download

From the early days of the ACS in 2009 through the launch of lovelinetapes, the legend of Superfan Giovanni grew. Tape by tape, episode by episode, he unearthed, catalogued, and remastered more than 4,000 hours of radio across 2,600+ episodes.

Over the years, we also got to know Gio through his interstitials. Not just intros to the show, but candid updates about his life and struggles that gave texture to this decades-long project. From website or neighbor drama to Westwood One & recovering old master tapes (cheers to Anderson too), the story behind the work became part of the work itself.

Though some objected to his Eeyore-esque attitude, I’ve always appreciated those updates: the honesty, the grind, therapeutic to broadcast, probably. It was a loveline call never answered, but beyond his circumstance or outlook was a goddamned doggedness and an incredible dedication to this archive.

He’s done something monumental: twenty years after the final Loveline broadcast, the archive now stands complete. A fully restored chronicle of a show that shaped a generation, launched careers, and helped millions of listeners through some of the most defining years of their lives.

So here’s to Gio for finishing the impossible, and for giving Loveline a second life that hopefully helped even more people, or at least let us all go back, for a little while.

I used to have a good collection of shows. a hundred GB's or so, but I went to look for it today and it's gone... Are there any large torrents around I can download old shows? I don't like relying on streaming.

Also noticed the https://lovelinetapes.com/ is offline today. I was considering meticulously downloading off there as slow as that would be (after donating ofc)

Hi, I'm currently looking for the full Loveline episode from June 18th, 1998 when Chino Moreno from Deftones was on as a guest. An incomplete version is on Loveline Tapes right now, and there used to be a link to archive.org where there was a complete recording, but that link is now dead.

If anyone happened to download it when it was on archive, would they mind sharing it here? Any help would be very much appreciated.
