Fans of the show flocking to see Pinsky's, Carolla's live sex talk-show

Dr. Drew Pinsky - "Loveline" host

When the hit sex talk show, "Loveline," comes to the UA tomorrow, host Dr. Drew Pinsky is going to be surprised - the ladies will be there to see him.

Pinsky said when his co-host Adam Carolla is there, the crowd is looking for entertainment. That will be no different tomorrow night.

"I feel when I'm with Adam, they're really looking for a lot of Adam," Pinsky said.

However, University of Arizona students standing in line to buy tickets for the show at Centennial Hall said they would be attending the show for Pinsky, not his comedic sidekick.

"I have a thing for Dr. Drew," said Lauren Vallone, a freshman majoring in English.

Another student testified to Pinsky's popularity on campus and in her hometown.

"Everyone in San Francisco listens to the show for Dr. Drew," said Erinne J. Juszkiewicz, a nursing freshman.

For the second time since 1999, Pinsky and Carolla will be at Centennial Hall tomorrow night at 8 to conduct a live version of their hit radio show. The show specializes in allowing its listeners to call in with questions regarding sex, drugs and relationships.

"When I'm speaking by myself, I can get a lot of information across," Pinsky said. "Will Adam let me do that? Probably not."

He said Carolla's presence actually helps the audience digest the information and that it's his humor that keeps the audience interested while they're learning.

"If you have to give a dog a pill, you don't just make them take it, you coat it with something," Pinsky said.

Pinsky said the duo's low number of public appearances is mostly due to Carolla's strict schedule.

"Mostly, if it's a short, direct flight, that will determine whether he wants to do it," he said.

Pinsky said he's not afraid to let out a chuckle every now and then after hearing someone's problem.

However, "It's more than just Adam's responses," he said about his occasional laugh.

Pinsky said he is personally touched by a call about every 15 minutes.

"These people are in such pain," he said. "It's like being an ambulance driver."

Pinsky said callers who admitted to harming someone warrant a call to the police. He said he's done it before and he'll do it again.

"Because this is developing territory, absolutely, " he said about making a call. "There are many times we've called the local police."

Pinsky said he loves the UA for not only its students but for its medical program.

"I feel a real special connection to the school," he said. "It's just a special relationship."

Pinsky, who is a board-certified internist and addiction specialist, is also the medical director for the department of chemical dependency services at a hospital in Pasadena, Calif. Besides that, Pinsky is busy raising 9-year-old triplets.

"The only time when (Adam and I) hang out is when I take my kids to his house," he said.
