Quotes[]

Why would you take someone good, someone you described as wonderful, perfect, and just drive him away?
—Dr. Drew
Every night after a long day's whining, I would lie in bed and I would bug my roommate by listening to you guys give advice to all those other losers out there in radio land, and I don't know. It just, it made me feel less alone. So well, I guess I just want to say thank you
—Audrey
