Show Summary:
CLL #1553 (feat. The Love Between The Two Hosts)
09/11/2001 – Tuesday Night Show
Source – Lost Tape (2020) with Stream Recording (2001) Patches
This episode is 100% complete with no audio upgrade, there are 3 incomplete known sources for this episode, two of which were merged to create this file, there is also an incomplete Tobydog tape with loud buzzing for the final hour, the audio has been normalized but there wasn't much to be done. I finally found the "Lost Tape" which I did transfer twice, it turns out Anderson never hit record that night and it's 100% blank. If a new source ever comes up I will replace this file, until then this is the best and only way to hear it.
A new source did come up, the show now has a huge audio upgrade and you can hear the board captured version.
Discussion of September 11 attacks

Adam and Drew imagine 15,000-25,000 people are dead in the attacks, as did so many people at that time (I remember some people throwing around 50,000).
Listened to this one several times, great episode. You forget how you felt at the time and then you go back and listen to this, and it’s fresh again. Same as the Columbine episode, 4-20-1999
really great episode. a time capsule of that day loveline style. definitely worth a listen.
Never Forget.
Great episode.
The other recording of this show picks up after 34:40 and has much better sound quality.
the recent 9/11 ACS podcast was hilarious
A few things struck me about this episode.
1. When it first started playing, my heart sank sue to the sound quality. Fortunately after a few minutes the quality improves and it’s much easier to listen to.
2. The jovial tone of both Drew and Adam. I realize they were both in shock and I’m sure this was their way of dealing with it, but after 10 years of healing, it’s now strange to hear them joking that soon after the disaster. It seems to me the Columbine episode was considerably more somber than this one.
3. The relative accuracy of the information provided. With the exception of the initial body count speculation, we now know most of Drew’s and Adam’s initial reports to be fact, but as I remember it, it was days and weeks before much of the info talked about on this show was actually confirmed.
4. Adam’s speculation that our retaliation would be swift and precise turned out to be less than accurate.
All the people on this show who called in below the age of 17 are not suffering from PTSD, they don’t understand enough to care, they just wanted to call in. just sayin
I was 16 on 9/11 and I remember tuning into Loveline that night and being soothed by this show. Eerie but enjoyable to listen to it all these years later. 5/5
Harry, it’s not like they didn’t care, it’s just most people (from my experience) felt almost surreal about this. I lived 20 min from Lower Manhattan (freshman in college moved in on 09.01) and my Dad worked 2 blocks away (he was fine but I didn’t know until that night due to cells out). We went out drinking at a huge party that night, and my univ of 50,000 was largely up to the same even though you could see the smoke. It wasn’t until the following weeks when things kinda set in as weird as that sounds. Either way great show by the guys.
I love that Adam acts as if this show wasn’t on 9/11 and it’s just an other day at loveline
i just arrive in england for 1st time for 2 week trip (im from calif) and brought cassette tapes of loveline to keep up with my fix. when i saw attack on tv i felt surreal and thought im not going back on a plane.
Good show! Adam and Drew handled the situation very wel,l while maintaining the regular tone of the show
This episode gave me chills. I survived 9/11 and was there when it all went down. It’s interesting to listen to this and get to hear what it was like for those that weren’t there.
I didn’t realize just how in the same page everyone was, being in my own state of confusion and mostly shock. Hearing this today was uplifting and has helped me with my usual 9/11 blues.
May we never forget those who lost their lives that terrible day.
Amazing time capsule of the day, but extremely painful to listen to. I’ve listened to this ep several times and always come out feeling emotionally drained.
I felt it was an important and powerful episode, but given the content I don’t know if I’ll revisit it.
New Board captured file, this episode hasn’t ever sounded this clear since it originally aired.
Thanks Giovanni.
