Episode 1000733479905

0:57 Voiceover Loveline is meant for an adult audience. Loveline may contain sexually-oriented content. Listener discretion is advised. This is Loveline. With Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.

1:20 Voiceover Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. Well, not really Adam Corolla. I'm Dr. Drew. The phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. Corolla is in New York City and in his stead Mark Hoppus, Blink-182.

1:31 Adam Hello, world. I have a really big dick.

1:35 Drew I imagine you do because we've been playing that drop for about 10 years. How's that go again, Anderson?

1:40 Adam I have a really big dick.

1:41 Drew That's you.

1:42 Adam Ah, the memories.

1:44 Drew Awesome. Well, Mark and I, well, for me anyway, closest thing I've ever had to homosexual experience.

1:51 Adam That's right.

1:51 Drew With Mark.

1:52 Adam Yeah, the last time that we saw each other, both you and I were getting our hair washed at a hair salon here in LA.

1:57 Drew Right next to each other.

1:58 Adam Yeah, last week.

2:00 Drew Yeah.

2:01 Adam Yeah, that was interesting. That was more awkward than when you try and talk to a guy when you're standing next to him with the urinal.

2:06 Drew Way worse. I'd much rather we've been peeing next to each other. Yeah. That has certainly manly quality to it.

2:11 Adam Yeah, getting our hair washed next to one another, I didn't know where I was supposed to look or where my hands were supposed to be. It was really awkward.

2:17 Drew Yeah, with the fact that I am gay. You had him on your junk the whole time. I didn't quite know what that meant, but whatever.

2:22 Adam It was supposed to be a compliment.

2:23 Drew I guess, I guess so. Again, the phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. Mark's going to be my co-host tonight. He's got a new band with Travis called Plus 44. You guys are in the studio with that now?

2:33 Adam Yes, we are.

2:35 Drew That's all you can tell us?

2:36 Adam Actually, Travis and I just bought a studio and we're fixing up the studio and going to be recording probably in about a week or two.

2:43 Drew You haven't started recording yet?

2:45 Adam We've been demoing for the past, like, I don't know, six months in Travis's basement, actually in my dining room for a long time.

2:51 Drew My wife must have loved that.

2:52 Adam Yeah, it was great. She was really happy to have just a lot of equipment sitting in our dining room for a long time.

2:57 Drew Oh yeah, waiting for your three-year-old to get electrocuted. It's a beautiful thing.

3:01 Adam It's great. My kid loves the studio. It's really cool. When we were recording the last Blink album, he was in the studio all the time and he really thinks it's a cool thing to go to the studio, so it's rad.

3:09 Drew Oh really? That's nice. Now, your wife has a new clothing line called Childish Clothing.

3:12 Adam Yes, she does indeed.

3:14 Drew This guy was the little known fact about Mark. She was the talent booker for Loveline, the TV show.

3:19 Adam Yes, she was.

3:20 Drew And that's how you guys met, right?

3:21 Adam Yeah, actually I met her. She used to work at MTV and I met her. We did Loveline. I met her again in the Bahamas when we were there playing a show, and then I actually started to hang out with her. We were shooting all the Small Things video here in Los Angeles. Yeah.

3:37 Drew She just happened to be in the Bahamas.

3:38 Adam She just happened to be in the Bahamas, yeah. She kept booking us on all these shows, and afterwards I come to find out that she really just really needed to have me and just kept booking us until I noticed her.

3:49 Drew Oh, she mentioned it to me when you showed up on our show.

3:52 Adam Really?

3:53 Drew Oh, absolutely. I remember that. I was thinking, wow, this is going to be it.

3:55 Adam This is going to be it.

3:56 Drew I'm going to be right here when this happens.

3:58 Adam No, she's really busy with her clothing company, and that's going great for her, and she's rad.

4:02 Drew And then Blink has the greatest hitset. We're going to hear a song from that called Not Now in a Few Minutes. And two of those songs have never been released before, and we're going to hear one of them. But for now, let us go to the phone, shall we?

4:11 Adam Yeah, we shall.

4:11 Drew All right, here we go. This is Jessica, who is 16. Whoops. Jessica? Hello? Hi there.

4:18 Hi.

4:19 Drew You're on to Mark Hoppus from Blink 182.

4:22 Hi.

4:23 Adam Hi, how you doing?

4:24 Drew Good times.

4:24 Okay.

4:26 What?

4:26 Drew And what's going on?

4:28 Well, first of all, I just like to say that I'm gay, and I've only, when I have sex, like I was with somebody for a year and a half, and whenever she would go down on me, it just would happen too fast. Like I would come too fast, and it was kind of aggravating because I just wanted it to last longer, and I was wondering if there was any way that I could make it last longer, but still, you know, come.

4:59 Drew Mark, you've had lots of lesbian experiences.

5:02 Adam I'm really not the one to ask about lasting longer. I'm sorry. I wish I had some.

5:07 Drew We're learning a thing or two about Mark.

5:09 Adam Yeah. Man, when I was 16, I didn't even have sex yet.

5:14 Drew She's 16 and committed lesbian now.

5:16 Adam Wow.

5:16 Drew All right. Well, Jessica, how about a second round? Yeah.

5:20 I mean, it's still fast. I mean, I can, it'll like maybe a minute to four minutes, and that's how fast it takes. I mean, it doesn't take very long at all.

5:32 Drew But maybe you're one of these multi-orgasmic people. You just can have one right after the other until exhaustion.

5:37 Yeah, I am. I mean, I've had multiple orgasms in a short amount of time, but I just wish it would just last longer, and I feel kind of uncomfortable.

5:47 Drew I think, A, you have to work with your partner on that one if you want to try to have just a single large orgasm. But if you, why not go with the way your biology is sort of configured, which is frequent? You know, I mean, people would die for this. A lot of women have difficulty of orgasms. You're someone that could probably have 20 or 30, and just one right after the other.

6:07 Adam You need to think of it as a blessing.

6:09 Drew A mitzvah.

6:11 Adam What's that?

6:12 Drew A mitzvah.

6:12 Adam A mitzvah?

6:13 Drew Yeah, yeah.

6:13 Adam Oh.

6:14 Drew Oh, OK.

6:14 Adam I'm learning a lot about the Jewish religion over the last, actually, couple of weeks.

6:18 Drew Yeah, this is a holiday.

6:19 Adam Yeah, this is a holiday.

6:19 Drew Right now.

6:20 Adam Yeah.

6:21 Drew Sarah, 17.

6:22 Hi. Hi, Mark.

6:24 Adam Hi. Hi, how are you doing?

6:26 Good, how are you?

6:27 Adam Great.

6:28 Good. All right, I have a question about sour semen. Yeah, classy. OK, well, here's the story. Me and my boyfriend, when we have sex, I'm on birth control, but we don't use a condom. But so I don't feel comfortable with him ejaculating inside me. So instead, he pulls out right before. And, you know, I hold on.

6:56 Drew You're on contraceptive pills.

6:58 Yes. I don't know. I'm on the patch or whoever.

7:00 Drew On the patch. So you don't need to use condoms.

7:03 All right. Yeah, I don't. We usually do, but we just didn't have any left.

7:07 Drew So why are you concerned? You're on the pill. Why are you concerned about this?

7:12 No, I'm concerned about the taste of his semen.

7:16 Drew I see. So that's why you don't want to be exposed to semen. You're worried he's got an STD or something.

7:20 Yeah, but because it's never happened before before. Okay, so that same night, it was about the fourth time that I had to give him oral and... What?

7:34 What?

7:35 Drew Fourth time?

7:36 Yeah, like he came three times before that.

7:38 Adam What's up with all these people that can have multiple sexual experiences in one night?

7:42 Drew 17.

7:43 Adam I know.

7:44 It's just that amazing.

7:45 Drew You know what Mark was doing at 17?

7:46 Adam Yeah, at 17, I was, yeah, not, not experiencing things four times in an evening. That's for sure.

7:53 Drew Not with somebody else.

7:55 Yeah.

7:57 But yeah, so the fourth time, it just, it just tasted, you know, it tasted like a bad cucumber, you know? And I was just like, wow, that was interesting. I got a bad one. But yeah, I was just wondering if that, imagine that was the first time it's ever tasted bad. Like, out of the, I don't know how many times that, you know.

8:20 Adam Well, I mean, because it'd be, because you're really at that point after four times, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. I mean, that's not, you know.

8:28 He said it must have been like the end of the, you know, like that must have been the bottom of the tank or something. And I was just like, yeah, I guess. And I didn't really think anything of it, but I wasn't sure because it, you know, I never.

8:39 Drew It doesn't, there can be all kinds of funky tastes. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Okay. It doesn't not mean anything by the same token. If he's concerned that he has something, if he has a discharge or hurts when he pees, that sort of thing, that'll be looked into. Smell is more a thing I'd say than taste. If there's a foul smell, that's more a sign of infection than, oh, fuck you taste.

8:59 Okay. Then I think it's probably okay. But can, can I say something quick on behalf? I know Adam's not here, but I think I did something I think he'd be proud of.

9:07 Drew Okay.

9:08 Um, you know.

9:10 Drew I hold my breath.

9:11 You know how he hates red left turn arrows?

9:14 Drew Yes.

9:15 Well, I went through one just for him. And it was pretty cool because it was super long and everyone behind me followed. So well done, Sarah Renegade, civil disobedience. I was like, this is for Adam. And it was, it was wonderful.

9:32 Drew Just sorry you didn't get your lights to suspend and fold over.

9:36 I was making sure there's no cops anywhere.

9:38 Drew And I was like, okay, you're a responsible, responsible adult, even though you're 17. I got a question about the fact that Adam is encouraging this in young people's rural. You had a question about why?

9:49 Adam Is it true that if you eat certain types of fruits or certain type of food, it changes the taste of the?

9:55 Drew Not that I've ever seen substantiated. I really have grave doubt about that whole thing.

10:00 Adam All right.

10:00 Drew In fact, so much so we actually years back on this show, we had people test it.

10:04 Adam Oh really?

10:05 Drew And they could not, the taste test could not be determined.

10:08 Adam How did you find volunteers for this?

10:09 Drew Yes, Loveline.

10:10 Adam Okay.

10:12 Drew And think about it. If you ate marshmallows and strawberries and whipped cream for three days, your poo gonna taste any, smell be any different? Really?

10:19 Adam Probably not.

10:20 Drew You only make things worse. You can't make things better.

10:22 Adam Right.

10:22 Drew You know what I mean? Things come out of your, basically it's like trying to get something to come out of your pancreas differently. These are exocrine glands. They're not some sort of tube that goes from your gut. People get very confused about stuff that's absorbed into your system. Where it goes, what happens to it, how it gets into other parts of your body.

10:38 Adam But when you eat garlic, you smell like garlic afterwards.

10:40 Drew It's mostly in your mouth.

10:42 Adam Oh, really?

10:42 Drew The smell is what's coming out of your entero-elementary attack.

10:44 Adam I thought it came out of your sweat glands.

10:46 Drew That's what people think.

10:46 Adam Always myths.

10:47 Drew Well, it's gotta be something. You're right. There's stuff that could get into your exocrine sweat glands somehow, but it's not as though it's like, how does it get there? These are specialized glands that are out inside your body. So it doesn't make sense. Let's get a question from Mark. It's Jen19.

11:04 Adam Jen? Hi, how are you doing?

11:06 Drew You're talking to Mark from Blink182. Hi.

11:10 I have a question.

11:12 Drew No, you can't see it.

11:13 Go.

11:15 Okay, so I was going to ask about my Miss You video.

11:20 Adam Yeah.

11:21 And the two, quote, girls in that video.

11:27 Adam The two, there's a lot of girls in that video.

11:30 No, I think you know which ones I'm talking about, Mark. Because I know it was you and Tom.

11:40 Adam The girls in the video were me and Tom?

11:42 Yes, they were. I'm not kidding.

11:45 Adam Really?

11:46 Or let's see, the fact that you changed. Well, it's just a very interesting internet rumor and you can pretty much prove it with pictures.

11:56 Drew Well, set it straight.

11:57 There's two people kissing the video.

12:00 Drew Are you and Travis? Are you and him and Tom?

12:04 Yeah, another thing.

12:06 Drew Well, hang on a second. Let him set it straight. Go ahead.

12:08 Adam I'd like to go on record as saying that that's not true, but I find it fascinating. There's a lot of cool things that happen like this that we actually have incorporated into our band. What's that?

12:21 No coincidence whatsoever. And also the fact that you in the song, all of this, you change it to he instead of she.

12:29 Adam Change what's the lyric? I'm sorry.

12:31 Drew Jen, you are a very paranoid person. These guys are doing out making music, just trying to sell some songs.

12:38 Adam I love that.

12:38 Drew No cryptic. But listen, you can let it go, let it go. Don't spend your time on this. It's not healthy thinking to be obsessing about stuff like that.

12:47 Adam I'm interested, what was the logic on the untitled CD?

12:51 It's just like the lyrics to it, they're very paranoid.

12:57 Adam On all of this? Well we didn't write the lyrics to all of this. Those were lyrics written by...

13:01 It's not just the lyrics to that. It's like the song Doe.

13:06 Adam Oh, okay.

13:07 Drew Jen, are you on any medication or anything?

13:10 No, it's kind of like a few of my friends, Blink fans, we've kind of just noticed things.

13:19 Drew All right, tell them Mark.

13:21 Adam Yeah, no, it wasn't me and Tom in the video. And no, it's great.

13:25 Well I have a question about that.

13:26 Are you guys talking?

13:29 Adam I haven't spoken with Tom in a long time. Good enough. But you know what's interesting is there was a theory that was started online because, you know, we had this demo tape that had this shape on it that kind of looked like an A. And then the next album was called The Buddha Record. And then after that it was Cheshire Cat and then Dude Ranch and then Enema of the State. And so people thought that Blink was releasing albums alphabetically. And so there was this big theory online that we were doing all this stuff and we actually ended up incorporating that.

13:58 Drew You ended up using it.

13:59 Adam Yeah, we ended up using it because, oh, and then on the live record there was a famous Stars and Straps sticker on Travis' bass drum that had an F on it. So that was counted as the alphabetical on that. And then we released Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. We intentionally put a G on the cover.

14:14 Drew Here's the deal by human beings. They take random events and they try to render meaning out of them.

14:20 Adam Right.

14:20 Drew The humans desire to know that's all they do. They try to make sense of things. And more often than not, when they're paranoid, they make sense. That's nonsense.

14:28 Adam Right.

14:28 Drew They just they just make order out of non order.

14:31 Adam Did we and did we mess people up by doing that?

14:34 Drew No, but it's so ridiculous that people do that and insist upon it. And you're trying to make music.

14:40 Adam Yeah. But I think it's interesting, though. I don't know. I think that all the... I don't know. There's lots of stuff like that that goes on that I find interesting, even though it's not true. Sorry, it's not true.

14:49 Drew Kimberly, 22.

14:50 Hey, how you guys doing?

14:52 Drew We're great. What's going on there?

14:53 I was wondering if getting implants impairs the ability to detect breast cancer.

14:58 Drew It affects it. It certainly does, but it doesn't prevent it.

15:02 How does it affect it?

15:04 Drew Well, I don't read mammograms, but I know it can affect the accuracy of mammogram reading. But I don't think it's a big deal anymore. I think they're pretty much with ultrasounds and whatnot can work around that.

15:14 Oh, OK. And I actually have one more question.

15:16 Drew Why? What's going on with you? What are you planning?

15:18 Well, I want to get implants, but my mom just died of breast cancer that she had in like 16 years.

15:28 Drew Maybe you want to get the genetic testing to make sure you don't have the BRCA gene and are at very high risk for breast cancer, because if you are, when you get the implants, they can take out the breast tissue at the same time and just really put some implants in. So like preventative removal of mastectomy? I'm not recommending that, but I'm saying it's something to think about since you're going to go to the knife anyway.

15:48 So would implants be a bad idea, maybe?

15:52 Drew I'm saying they might be a good idea, because you might be able to take out the breast tissue that could be putting you at risk for cancer. This is Ian 14. Mark, this is a game called Germany or Florida.

16:02 Adam Oh, I love Germany or Florida.

16:03 Drew Let's hear the theme song Anderson. Anderson? David Algarer, any of them. Here we are.

16:16 Is it Germany or Florida? Germany or Florida? Let's find out.

16:32 Adam Don't don't the thing.

16:34 Drew Don't don't. Right out. Big ending, here we are. All right, Ann, Germany or Florida?

16:38 All right.

16:39 First, can I say hi to my friend?

16:41 Drew There you go.

16:44 All right.

16:46 A 16 year old student bit into a razor blade while eating a chicken sandwich he purchased at his school. Medical reports show that the boy was not injured. Investigators do not know how the razor got in the sandwich, as no razors are used in the manufacturing process. Germany or Florida.

17:02 Drew There's a lot of razor talk around Halloween. Yeah, always. When you were a kid, did you always get to get apples with razors in them and check the food before somebody put stuff in it?

17:09 Adam But the strange thing was that it was only in apples.

17:12 Drew Always apples.

17:12 Adam Why couldn't they have put...

17:14 Drew Baby Ruth bar or something.

17:14 Adam Yeah.

17:15 Drew Yeah.

17:15 Adam It was only apples that it ever counted on.

17:18 Drew Yeah. Have you ever met anybody that actually encountered a razor blade and an apple?

17:21 Adam No.

17:22 Drew Or a box of raisins?

17:23 Adam It was probably actually propagated by kids that didn't want to eat the apples and they just want to eat the candy so they make up this crazy excuse.

17:30 Drew Yeah. Don't give us apples.

17:31 Adam Yeah.

17:31 Drew All right. So what is it? Germany or Florida?

17:33 Adam I'm going to go. Oh, wait. Are we weighing in? Yeah. I'm going to say Florida.

17:40 Drew Germany. Ian?

17:42 Adam It's Florida. Yes.

17:44 Drew Like a pro.

17:45 Adam Mark Hoppus. That's right.

17:46 Drew Amazing. Killing me. All right, Ian. Thanks.

17:50 All right. Bye.

17:50 Drew All right. Mark. We have lots of questions for you now. Let's get another one. This is great. Wendell17.

17:56 Hi. How are you doing?

17:57 Hello, Mark.

17:58 Yes.

17:59 Oh, my God.

18:00 Finally.

18:02 Drew Finally, you've been on hold for four minutes. What do you mean, finally? OK.

18:05 OK. OK.

18:06 I'm not. I'm not. Let me summarize this. I've liked.

18:09 Drew Please.

18:09 Mark.

18:10 And I was.

18:10 No, I'm not gay.

18:12 I've liked Blink since I was 10 because of Mark. OK. Point being, this is a big rumor that I've been wanting to solve.

18:18 Great.

18:18 Man Overboard.

18:19 Drew We're going to solve all Blink 182 rumors tonight. Man, we're going to solve all the Blink 182 rumors tonight. Man Overboard.

18:27 What is it about? Scott Rainer?

18:28 Yes or no?

18:29 Adam No.

18:30 Drew There you go. This is a dame at 20.

18:34 Hi.

18:35 I have had this problem for a couple of years. Yeah. I'd always maintain an erection for a couple of hours after I had sex.

18:47 Drew Do you maintain an erection? Is it uncomfortable?

18:51 Yeah.

18:54 Drew Because you're still aroused and you want another round or because it's just a painful erection that persists?

18:59 Well, sometimes it's painful, but sometimes I've also gone for like a couple rounds and it's still around.

19:09 Drew Are you on medication?

19:10 Adam You know what? Honestly, these are not problems.

19:13 Drew These are not problems. These are not problems, right?

19:15 Adam Oh, I have lots of orgasms in a night. Oh, my boyfriend goes four times. Oh, I have an erection for two hours. I want people with actual problems. I want to feel good about myself. I'm leaving here humiliated and shamed about my own self.

19:29 Drew Brian, 20.

19:30 Hey, what's up?

19:31 Drew We're good. What's going on there?

19:33 All right. My buddy used to be a heroin addict.

19:36 Drew Used to be.

19:36 Interesting. They gave him a prescription called buprenics.

19:40 Drew Buprenics, yeah.

19:42 But at first he was taking them like he's supposed to, but now he just crushes them up and shoots them up just like it was heroin.

19:49 Drew Well, that's what happens to buprenics. In my experience, the buprenics for anything other than opiate withdrawal has been catastrophes. Really? People that use it long-term get strung out on it, abuse it, get going again. It's very close relative of heroin. It has what's called a partial antagonist effect, so it's hard to overdose on it and hard to get high on it. But believe me, addicts find ways to do it. So your friend needs to be in a hospital and get detoxed.

20:14 But I mean, is it in any way healthier than actually doing heroin?

20:17 Drew No. In my experience, it's actually worse because the detox is worse.

20:21 Really?

20:21 Drew Yeah. It's the same thing. It's an opiate. He's got to get in the hospital. He needs six months somewhere. He's in, baby. Brian, he's really seriously ill. Yeah. He needs to get detoxed and go into a residential program. It's been a few months focusing on this because he's not going to live to see 30 if he doesn't.

20:35 All right.

20:35 Drew All righty.

20:36 Can I ask one more question?

20:37 Drew Yeah.

20:39 Is having a fast metabolism get drugs out of your system faster as far as drug tests are concerned?

20:45 Drew Not. No, I can't say that.

20:47 Because let me tell you something. You always talk about weed stays in your system for two weeks.

20:52 Drew Sometimes.

20:52 Or whatever at the most. But I take drug tests once a week for probation. And I smoke weed like five days a week. Then I just take two days off and I drink a bunch of water. And I pass my drug test every single time.

21:04 Drew That can happen. That can happen.

21:06 But you don't think that has anything to do with fast metabolism?

21:08 Drew No, you know, it really... What is fast metabolism? What does that mean? The pot is metabolized.

21:14 I got you food all the time and I never gain weight.

21:18 Drew You don't put down fat tissue that's different than how drugs are metabolized by your liver.

21:23 Okay.

21:24 Drew That's a different phenomenon entirely. So you can't really say that. You're lucky. You know, when people ask me, am I going to pass a drug test? I have to tell them the worst case scenario, right? Right. So you're one of the best case scenarios.

21:36 Yeah, I guess so.

21:37 Drew All right. Good times.

21:38 All right.

21:38 Thanks a lot, dude.

21:39 Drew He'll get caught. Okay. Dakota is 18.

21:42 Hi. Wow. I've been a huge Blink fan and a big Loveline fan forever. You guys are both heroes.

21:49 Drew Thank you. Cool. Dakota. Where are you calling from?

21:51 Tucson, Arizona.

21:52 Drew Cool.

21:53 Adam No, we're not cool. How's Tucson?

21:56 Oh, it's really hot.

21:58 Drew I was in Phoenix last week. It was 105.

22:00 Adam Oh, really?

22:00 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

22:01 Adam I have a friend named Brian that lives in Tucson. Do you know him?

22:05 Brian what?

22:07 Adam Can I say the last names on the radio?

22:09 Drew If you don't want your...

22:09 Adam That's actually Brian. He's our sound guy. He was Blink's sound guy when we toured. So he's...

22:14 I don't know. I thought I probably like would attract them down. I don't know. Yeah.

22:18 Last time you guys were here.

22:19 Adam Yeah. Then I won't say the last name.

22:21 Yeah.

22:22 Drew What's up Dakota?

22:23 Here we go.

22:24 I was actually asking, what about Plus 44? Are you most looking forward to doing with it as far as creativity and stuff like that?

22:33 Adam I'm just doing a bunch of different stuff. I mean, we've only just started the whole process of Plus 44, so it's really taking shape in a bunch of different ways. We have ideas for 16 songs demoed out, and like I said, we're about to go into the studio, and it's very schizophrenic already. I don't really know what shape it's going to take, but it's going to be fascinating.

22:50 Drew Something with Travis schizophrenic? You're kidding.

22:53 Adam Well, there's all these different influences. I mean, Travis has all these different beats, and we have all these different ideas, and we're working with our friend Carol, who plays guitar and sings, and our other friends are coming in and playing instruments as well. It's just, it's kind of all over the place, but very inspiring to try these different things out, and it's going to be a lot of fun.

23:11 Drew Cool. Actually, you guys come back up here when you want to do that, please?

23:13 Adam Oh, absolutely.

23:14 Drew I mean, Mark, it's only been, hey, let's see, today's, today's, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven years since we've seen you here in the show. It's all right.

23:20 Adam Hey, I thought that we held the record. I thought I held the record for most times, except for-

23:24 Drew Yeah, but you've been passed up by many people.

23:26 Adam Really?

23:26 Drew Well, many.

23:27 Adam All right, I'm taking up permanent residence, though.

23:30 Drew Fair enough. When the new CD comes out. All right, we're going to take a break now. We come back. We're going to talk to Ryan. We're going to keep the pop topic going. For right now, the phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. Mark Hoppus in for Adam Corolla.

23:49 Keep things up with new Durex Warming Condoms.

23:54 Drew It's Love Line, 1-800-LOVE-1-9-1. I'm Dr. Drew, he is Mark Hoppus, Blink 182. And we are going right back to the phones. We're keeping this marijuana topic alive. Joey, 25.

24:06 Adam What's going on, man?

24:07 Drew Hang on a second. Mark's got a-

24:09 Adam I don't know how to turn this thing off.

24:10 Drew Vibrating condom ring or C ring or something that Ann gleefully brought into us.

24:15 Adam Yeah, this- I have no idea how to turn this thing off.

24:18 Drew See, this thing pulls out right here. This little knob here pulls out.

24:21 Adam Oh, I'm back in.

24:22 Drew You have to pull it out.

24:23 Adam Oh, okay.

24:23 Drew What's that, Joey?

24:24 I said I hope she's still in there.

24:26 Drew Ann? No, she's run away.

24:28 Adam No, it's just a bunch of dudes with vibrating penis rings.

24:30 Well, and she ran away, huh?

24:34 Drew Yeah. Joey, you sound like you've been through like three tours of duty in Iraq. You okay?

24:40 No, I'm definitely okay. I've just been on the road for a couple of hours driving home.

24:45 Drew Go ahead. What's up?

24:47 I just had a question if marijuana affects the no impotency or long-term effects of that, if you've known, if anything.

24:57 Drew It will drop your sperm count while you're using, especially if you're using regular and chronically. Oh, man.

25:04 I can, well, I can fight that one.

25:07 Drew It'll raise your estrogen levels. It can actually even give you breast development, some men, particularly around puberty age. But if you stop smoking, everything should go back to normal. So it's not as though there's, I'm not aware of any evidence of chronic injury to your testicular function.

25:21 You can actually, it increases your estrogen levels. So is there any way to counteract that or?

25:26 Drew Yeah, stop smoking pot.

25:28 Well, I mean, I'm a medicinal patient.

25:31 Drew Yeah, Joey, I've never, I've never been requested pots by anyone other than a marijuana addict. So if you, if you want to not have.

25:38 Do you live in California?

25:40 Drew Yes. And if you want, and if you want to not have the deleterious effects of the drug, go ahead and, it's one of the most addictive drugs we deal with for some people.

25:50 Adam Marijuana?

25:51 Drew Oh, it's a horrible drug for people to give up.

25:53 Adam It also increases my laying in the ground, curled up in a ball, thinking that people are talking about me through the walls.

25:59 Drew Well, that's why you're not, you couldn't be a marijuana addict because, because people that become marijuana addicted love how they feel.

26:04 I can definitely agree to that. Marijuana is the most addictive drug.

26:07 Drew Yeah. Well, for some people. No, not for everybody, Joey. But I would tell you that people that, let's say you were to go on to other things, pot would be the one that you would miss the most.

26:16 Adam I feel like I'm left out of some joke or something because I-

26:19 Drew You don't have the gene. You don't have that gene. And it's unfortunate on some respects.

26:23 Adam Like everybody else is having fun and everything else that I just, when I have tried to smoke pot before, it just really makes me paranoid in a bad, bad way.

26:32 Drew Yeah. And that's how you know you don't have that gene because someone who's going to get addicted gets high, goofy a couple of times, but the third time it's, oh my God, this is the greatest thing ever. And that's all you think about from that after. And you use it every day and it's a natural herb. It's good for you. It's medicinal. And you're in. That's it. And it's like heroin when it comes time to stop. It's very difficult to get people off it. Monique, 19.

26:53 Hi.

26:54 Drew Hi. Hey, what's happening?

26:55 Hey.

26:56 Drew Hey.

26:57 My question is, well, me and my boyfriend, we're trying to get pregnant or whatever.

27:02 Drew Why? You're 19? You're not married? What's the plan here?

27:06 Caller Well, it's just like my family, like, well, especially like my mom, she just like asked for that, you know, alone.

27:14 Drew She wants, she wants, she, well, yes, thank you.

27:16 Adam You can't have a kid to make your mom happy. Your mom will be happy if you have a kid in five years, 10 years.

27:22 Drew I never thought those words would be spoken on this show, but you're right. But one of the things we do leave out on this show, we are not culturally sensitive with Mr. Corolla going off about different ethnicities and things, but the reality is that, yes, in certain Hispanic populations, young girls are encouraged to get pregnant by the mom.

27:40 Caller Yeah, well, that's half Hispanic, half black, so, yeah, it's just like my mom expects it now.

27:47 Adam But are you ready for it?

27:48 Caller Not really, and sometimes, yeah. And like we've been trying to do it for a while now, and it's like, I don't know if it's him or me, but it's not working at all.

27:58 Drew What do you mean a while?

28:01 Caller I've been with him for two years and for the past two months, we've been trying to, so.

28:07 Drew Well, you think you're gonna get pregnant instantly?

28:09 Adam That's the thing, that's as crazy as like, when I was growing up, so paranoid every time I had sex. Oh my God, did I get my girlfriend pregnant?

28:16 Drew But that's the time it's going to happen.

28:17 Adam Yeah, exactly.

28:18 Drew When people are actually trying. Six months to a year would not be an unusual duration, Monique, so, okay?

28:24 Caller Yeah.

28:25 Drew Okay, so it's not necessarily something's going to happen instantly.

28:27 Caller Yeah, well, like it's, I don't know kids, I know he's smoked like a lot of marijuana, so.

28:33 Drew Monique, Monique, six months to a year.

28:36 Caller Yeah.

28:37 Drew Are you hearing me?

28:38 Caller Yeah, I am.

28:38 Drew You don't need to try to come up with explanations of why it's taking you a normal period of time to get pregnant, all right?

28:44 Caller Okay.

28:45 Drew All right, and then maybe God's intervening in this one to help us all out.

28:50 Adam Yeah.

28:51 Drew Shannon, 24.

28:54 Adam Shannon.

28:54 Drew Caller goes by Shannon. Let's take another Mark question in the meantime. Chad, 15.

29:03 Caller Hey, Mark.

29:04 Adam Hi, Chad.

29:04 Caller Dr. Drew.

29:05 Drew Hey, Chad.

29:05 Caller Hey, Mark. My question is for you.

29:07 Caller Okay.

29:07 Caller If you would consider after the Plus 44 album comes out, if you would consider touring with Tom and Angels in Airways.

29:17 Adam You know, I can't really.

29:18 Caller I'm just wondering, yeah.

29:20 Adam You know, I don't know what the future holds. You know, 10 years ago, I never would have thought that I'd be sitting here with Dr. Drew talking to you.

29:31 Drew Chad, it's been a moment that you've always thought. You've dreamt, dreamt of, and here you are.

29:36 Adam So, me, Chad, and Mark.

29:40 Caller And can I just ask one more question?

29:42 Adam Of course.

29:42 Drew Shall I let you squirm out from under that easily?

29:44 Adam Yeah.

29:45 Drew Would you give us anything else?

29:47 Caller What's your input with Atticus?

29:50 Adam I help with marketing. I help with Atticus for those of you who don't know. How's that? How's that for radio knowledge? Atticus Clothing, for those of you that don't know, is a clothing company that I am a partner in. My involvement with Atticus is with the design and the marketing. We actually have people that run the business and the day-to-day things that are amazing at that.

30:09 Drew Coincidentally, there's a website www.atticusclothing.com.

30:12 Adam atticusclothing.com for your clothing needs.

30:15 Drew Is there somebody on Line 7 I'm supposed to be talking to? I see that that usually means a VIP caller. Yeah, I don't know what that is, but let's keep moving here. This is Kristen, 21.

30:26 Caller Hey.

30:27 Drew Hey, what's going on there?

30:28 Caller Oh, hey, Mark. I just want to say hi to Mark and, well, you too, Dr. Drew. But yeah, I have a weird question. Okay. I'm eight months pregnant right now, and I have been getting these really weird sex dreams.

30:41 Drew Yeah.

30:41 Caller I wanted to know if there was any correlation between being pregnant and having weird dreams.

30:47 Drew Well, one of God's many, many, many jokes on humanity, particularly on men, is when a woman is in their last trimester pregnancy, they get very horny and have all kinds of wild sexual fantasies that are sort of spontaneous and unusually intense. And it can be weird. It can be weird. Because you're on drugs when you're that far in your pregnancy. Your placenta is pumping so much hormones into your system that you're effectively on a drug. And you're very swollen and congested down there, making things more easily aroused and away you go.

31:18 Caller Okay, and I have a comment. Can I throw that out there?

31:22 Drew If you stop breathing directly into the phone like that, you're making it freaking us out. What is it?

31:27 Caller Mark, I just wanted to say that Blink was a great band and I'm going to miss you.

31:31 Drew Was a great band? Wait a minute. What do you mean?

31:33 What?

31:35 Drew What? What? Was a great band. We don't know what the future holds. He just told us that.

31:39 Caller We'll go with that.

31:40 Adam It's hiatus. It's open-ended.

31:41 Caller Hiatus. You guys are great and wonderful. I love everything you guys do. And Mark, I hope you talk to Tom again sometime because you guys were the best.

31:51 Adam Well, thank you.

31:51 Drew Well, you know what? I would second it because you're both great. All three of you guys are great guys. You know what I mean? It's rare that a band has just great guys and that everyone loves and whatever. So, you know, there you go.

32:03 Caller Well, thank you.

32:04 Drew So, this is Kenny, who's 21. Ken?

32:07 Caller Hi, my question is for Mark.

32:09 Drew Hi, imagine that.

32:10 Caller Hi, Mark. I've met you numerous times and I want to thank you completely for that. For taking your time to talk to me. And my question is in regards to, I relate to your songs so much and it's hard to believe that anybody can write a song that I completely relate to like to the fullest extent. And I want to know if those, what you write about is based on real life things.

32:36 Adam Yeah, pretty much everything that we write about is based on things that happen to us or things that happen to our friends.

32:42 Drew How old were you when you started writing music?

32:44 Adam I started writing songs.

32:45 Drew Songs that we would still hear.

32:46 Caller How old were you?

32:48 Adam Well, I was probably like 20.

32:49 Drew Which is it? That's what I imagine. Because it's a lot of 20 year olds relate to that stuff. It's very pertinent to any 20 year old.

32:56 Adam Cool. Yeah, I mean, we've always tried to write from the heart, things that happened to us, things are important to us. And it's interesting because people say like your song affected us or affected me in a certain way. And it's strange to think that it's just as much a trip for me to think that something that we wrote affected people that we've never met before. And you go to countries around the world and there's people in Japan.

33:18 Drew Where'd you grow up?

33:19 Adam I grew up in the middle of the desert in a small town called Ridgecrest.

33:22 Drew Oh my God. Up there. Inyo? Yeah.

33:24 Adam Inyo Kern.

33:26 Drew I got a speeding ticket out there once. I had to drive back to go to court.

33:29 Adam Oh really?

33:30 Drew Last speeding ticket.

33:31 Adam Very sorry for you for that.

33:33 Drew Oh my God. Yeah.

33:33 Adam There was one stoplight in town when I grew up. And when there was a second stoplight installed, the mayor came out and cut the tape and there was a parade.

33:41 Drew I can see where you got your cultural influence. A very rich, romantic region of the country, the world really. And so very, very rich cultural influence. That's good.

33:48 Adam Yeah.

33:48 Drew And Tom, where'd he grow up?

33:50 Adam I think San Diego.

33:51 Drew So he had a life. And Travis?

33:53 Adam And Travis grew up in the Inland Empire.

33:55 Drew How'd you guys meet?

33:57 Adam My sister actually introduced Tom and I when I moved to San Diego to go to college.

34:00 Drew What year did you go to college?

34:02 Adam I went to Cal State San Marcos and Palomar, Palomar, is that what it's called? Palomar Junior College? Yeah, yeah, cool. Went there. Here's the thing with me in college. I went to a couple of years at Palomar, did great, got great grades, and then I transferred to Cal State San Marcos and I was an English major. So I just started taking all these English classes and at the end of my second year there, about four years in college, I went and I talked to my counselor and I said, hey, what happens with graduation? Am I supposed to sign up for something? The counselor pulled up my file and said, you're nowhere near graduation, you don't have any chemistry, you don't have any physical education stuff. I was two years short of my degree because I had taken so many English classes.

34:44 Drew Wow, interesting.

34:46 Adam I was in college for five years and I was still a sophomore.

34:49 Drew Travis, where did you meet him?

34:51 Adam Travis, we actually met.

34:52 Drew Clearly not in college.

34:53 Adam He was actually touring with the Aquabats at the time. We met him on tour. I forgot that he was an Aquabat. We instantly became friends with Travis.

35:00 Drew Was he all suited up like an Aquabat at the time?

35:02 Adam He didn't suit up, no, he didn't wear the full suit. He had the suit on but he didn't wear the mask.

35:07 Drew They had a heavy Christian band, didn't they, back in the day?

35:09 Adam Yeah, they were cool. I love the Aquabats, those guys are so rad.

35:12 Drew They were funny, they were smart too.

35:13 Adam Such a great band, and Powdered Toast Man, it was all cool, it was so fun.

35:18 Drew Well, why don't we listen to a blank song?

35:20 Adam We shall.

35:20 Drew Let's do that, this song is called Not Now. Not now. Blink 182 on the SYNC The Greatest Hits, two unreleased songs, that's one of them. I'm here with Mark Hoppus co-hosting with me tonight, and we will be right back after this. Mark Hoppus from Blink 182, again Loveline phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. What kind of name is Hoppus?

39:37 Adam Hoppus is actually my dad, it's funny you asked me this, because my dad got really into genealogy over the past few years, and he's been researching the name Hoppus, and it comes from this valley in Switzerland, and my father actually traveled back to Switzerland last summer and found records and all kinds of stuff. So he traced our heritage back to the 1300s somehow.

39:56 Drew Wow, does it have a meaning?

39:58 Adam It actually does, it comes from this word.

40:00 Drew Is it German?

40:01 Adam I believe it is, yeah.

40:03 Drew So it's German-Swiss.

40:04 Adam Yeah, but it has something to do with like where these rivers come together and there is a hawk and a mountain or something like that, for real. And I'm sorry, dad, that I don't remember the exact story because he's told me it like 10 times, but the name means like where the rivers come together and there's a hawk or something.

40:21 Drew Sounds like Indian.

40:22 Adam Yeah.

40:23 Drew Weird. Sam 16.

40:25 Hello.

40:26 Drew Hey, what's up? Hi.

40:27 Hello.

40:28 Drew Sam sounds kind of depressed.

40:30 No.

40:32 Drew All right. What's your question?

40:34 I'm like, I don't know. It's like I love to give head. I was wondering, like, I think it's kind of weird.

40:40 Drew It is. I'll agree with you on that, except you're freaking out, Mark.

40:45 OK.

40:47 Drew Why so freaked out about it?

40:48 Adam No, because jealous. No, you know what? Honestly, it's just and I feel like I'm dating myself when I say this, but these kids today. I mean, I honestly feel like that when I was 16. It was a big deal if like a girl made out with a guy. And now, you know, you have girls calling up radio shows that are 16 saying, I love to give head. It's just a little. It's a little hard for me to get my head around, you know?

41:07 Yeah.

41:07 Drew Is there anything, Sam, we should know about you? Are you a trauma survivor?

41:11 Actually, yeah. Like when I was little, my I have two older brothers and they used to like make me have sex with them when I was little.

41:20 Drew That's horrible.

41:21 Adam That's terrible.

41:22 Drew Right. So this is some kind of that's the reason we reacted to this kind of strangely. It's not a normal impulse for a 16-year-old.

41:30 Yeah.

41:30 Drew You know, so it really is something that you want to be treated for. Has anyone ever approached you about that? Has anyone in your family know about this?

41:37 No.

41:38 Drew Why don't we tell your mom or dad?

41:41 I don't know. It might. It depends.

41:43 Drew What does it depend on?

41:45 I don't know.

41:46 Drew How about it depend on whether or not you want to have a reasonably pleasant life because these experiences have a profound effect on how you develop emotionally. Unless you get some help with that, it's going to be a never-ending life of you trying to get something out of males through indulging them in ways that are exploitative of yourself and denigrating.

42:09 Adam Yeah. You definitely need to go find some help and talk to some people.

42:12 Drew This is not a good path, John. I see the future and it's grim. There's no reason it has to be like that, okay?

42:19 I also have a comment.

42:20 Yeah. I was in fifth grade and my dad surprised me with these tickets to a show here in Boise for Blink-Brain 82. Then I saw you playing your bass or whatever, and then I started playing bass because of it.

42:36 Adam Oh, cool.

42:37 Then now I'm in a band.

42:40 Adam Awesome. What's your band called?

42:41 Wake Up Dead.

42:43 Drew There we go. Very uplifting. Wake Up Dead?

42:49 Adam Go ahead, Mark. I'm glad that you're playing bass and I'm stoked that you came to the show. I really think that you need to go and get some help and talk to some people and find some help out there.

43:02 Caller Okay. Thanks.

43:03 Drew Okay. Maybe you can wake up alive. Yeah. It's funny how Sam sounded depressed from the moment she picked up the phone.

43:11 Adam Yeah.

43:12 Drew And then she has such an uplifting name for her band.

43:14 Adam Right.

43:15 Drew It's just, I hope she, you know, it makes me think that there's also some suicidality floating around in her head too.

43:21 Adam So yeah, please go talk to somebody, please.

43:23 Drew Reinhardt 24.

43:24 Caller Hi.

43:26 Hi.

43:29 Drew Here we go. Here we are. Let's break it down, Reinhardt. Come on. Here we go, buddy. Ready?

43:33 Adam It's your turn to talk now.

43:34 Drew It is.

43:35 Cool.

43:39 Caller When I was in high school, I was strung out on acid for about three or four years. And then I was diagnosed bipolar about two or three years ago.

43:52 Drew If anyone wants to know what they're going to sound like to do a fair amount of acid, do 30 or 40 hits acid, there's Reinhardt. That's what you're going to sound like. Really? Yeah. If you wonder, does it change you? Just I want you to introduce you to a couple of people. Acid damages brain. It makes people depressed. It changes the personality structure. In fact, it's very funny. I was looking through some textbooks on this when I was in, I guess I was a resident and they were from the seventies and they were basically going, well, you know, of course there's these personality changes. These people are clearly not the same as they were before, but they're happier now. And they seem very different to all this. So anyway, it's a good thing. So here we go. It's like, what? You gotta be kidding me.

44:31 Adam Are there any drugs that people do that really don't have addictive qualities, that don't really leave people worse for the wear afterwards?

44:40 Drew Yes. Opiates do not hurt your brain. That was why there was such a huge breakthrough. You could control brain without any real harm being done to you. They cause the worst addiction that you can possibly have. They change your life. They, you know, reorder how your brain functions, but they don't damage anything. Right. Cocaine, if you survive the use, you don't get a stroke, don't have a vascular problem. Yeah, it maybe upsets mood centers a little bit, but for the most part, it leaves things pretty much alone.

45:04 Adam Really?

45:05 Drew Pot seems to, again, if you're not smoking under the age of 18 and you stop smoking, things tend to go back to normal.

45:11 Adam Now, when I was, one of the other shows that I was on, I actually talked to you during one of the breaks and I was asking you, I was asking you because when I was growing up, I remember people saying that inhalants were like the worst drugs you could do that would leave your brain just ravaged afterwards.

45:24 Drew That is true.

45:25 Adam And I asked you about Whippets thinking like, oh my God, I've really just destroyed myself when I was in high school.

45:29 Drew Whippets are nitrous though, aren't they?

45:30 Adam Yeah. And then you said, not so much.

45:32 Drew Yeah, nitrous, not so much. I love to scare you.

45:35 Adam I felt really liberated after that, like I didn't really harm myself. And I was wishing that you would afterwards, I found out that I wish you had told me that I destroyed myself.

45:43 Drew And you've been doing it ever since?

45:45 Adam Because now it's like, I really don't know why I shouldn't go back.

45:49 Drew So, Reinhardt, you have a question?

45:52 Caller Yes.

45:52 Yeah, go ahead.

45:56 Caller Yeah, I was just wondering if the acid use when I was in high school would be the cause of having the bipolar.

46:07 Drew It's hard to say which came first. Obviously, there was something going on that was motivating you to use the acid. But there's no doubt that LSD can cause mood disturbances of various types, typically depression. But I could see bipolarity being on that list of potential, at least bringing something out, making something worse, for sure. LSD can do that. Mark Hoppus is joining him here tonight. The phone number at Loveline is 1-800-LOVE-191. We're going to take a quick break.

46:32 Caller Alright, guys, here's the deal. You're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?

46:37 One call's all you need to make.

46:38 Caller Call the Dateline.

46:39 Caller 877-889-DATE.

46:42 Call the Dateline.

47:12 Drew Smart Compass, Link 182, Loveline, 1800. Oh, there's your, what'd you call this?

47:17 Adam Weiner Vibrator.

47:17 Drew Weiner Vibrator, 1-800-LOVE-191, this is sort of a condom ring vibrator combo that somebody sent us. Change it called Vibrations.

47:26 It's a sponsor, yeah. They do a ton of advertising on the show.

47:29 Drew Oh really, well, we're impressed with this little product called Vibrations.

47:32 Adam It's definitely great for fidgeting while you do radio interviews.

47:35 Drew If Corolla were here, he would go completely insane. Look, you can put it around the microphone. Look at that, isn't that nice? Okay.

47:43 Adam Honey, I'm coming home.

47:45 Drew Have you heard about this exciting new vibrating condom ring? Oh, I see, that's the one it is. Mark, you mentioned that you have OCD.

47:53 Adam Yeah.

47:54 Drew And that you're a germaphobe.

47:55 Adam Yeah, I'm actually getting a lot better. I used to be really bad about the germ thing, and my thought process is still such that I think about things that I shouldn't.

48:04 Drew Well, probably a good thing, really. I mean, that's how most viruses are transmitted, is really on your hands.

48:08 Adam Yeah, but I still get as sick as anybody does during the course of a year, you know?

48:12 Drew When your kid really goes to school regularly, then it's going to be bigger.

48:15 Adam Yeah, that's what I hear. When your kids go to school, you just have a runny nose pretty much for the rest of your life.

48:19 Drew Yeah, I see parents from basically age three to age eight.

48:23 Adam Yeah.

48:23 Drew The kids just constantly, parents are sick all winter long.

48:26 Adam But yeah, I used to have a really bad germ thing, and I was actually on Adam's show.

48:31 Drew Too late?

48:32 Adam Too late, yeah, a few weeks ago. And during the commercial break, we were talking, I was drinking a glass of water, and then I put my glass of water down, but there was already glass there that was in the spot where I put my glass, and I realized I was actually drinking out of Adam's cup.

48:45 Drew That is disgusting. Oh my God, I have to test you.

48:47 Adam That really put an end to the germ thing for me, because I figure if I can be walking around after drinking out of Adam Corolla's glass, I'm pretty much good to like touch doorknobs and use silverware.

48:56 Drew There you go. Here's Leticia 17.

48:59 Adam Hi.

48:59 Hi. Okay. I was a virgin like two weeks ago, but then I had sex with my boyfriend. And now like for two weeks, like this weird stuff has been coming out of me.

49:12 Drew Oh, I wonder if you're pregnant. Did you use birth control?

49:16 No, but we used condom.

49:17 Drew Did it work properly? Everything hold up?

49:19 Adam You didn't use birth control, but you used a condom?

49:21 Yeah.

49:22 Drew Did the condom slip off or?

49:24 No, it seemed like everything went fine. And when I left, I mean, everything seemed OK. And just like like when I go to the bathroom and stuff, like weird stuff would be on my underwear and I didn't know what it was.

49:35 Adam For how long afterwards?

49:37 Drew Two weeks, two weeks. It's hard to understand how you would get an STD if you're wearing a condom. It's also hard to imagine how you could get pregnant if you if the condom had worked properly.

49:47 That's why I'm I'm not sure why it's happening.

49:51 Drew Sometimes it can just be a yeast infection, just introducing smoke alarm. A little beep in the background.

49:58 Adam No.

49:58 Drew We have to wait about 20 seconds. I want you to hear this.

50:01 Adam Okay.

50:01 Drew There's a smoke, you know, smoke alarms when they.

50:03 Adam Oh yeah. The batteries are dying.

50:05 Drew They chirp at you.

50:06 Adam Yeah. So in about 10 seconds here, just in the interest of fire safety, after we finish this phone call, please replace the battery in your smoke alarm.

50:15 Here we go.

50:18 Drew Nothing for a second.

50:20 Can I say one more thing?

50:23 Drew You can't hear the smoke alarm if you're saying one more thing. What do you want to say?

50:27 That I'm in love with Blink 182.

50:29 Drew There it was.

50:30 I heard the beep.

50:32 Drew All right. I want you to take the phone over by the smoke detector. I want you to stand there. You taking it over there? Please. If you love Blink 182, you'll do this for Mark.

50:42 Oh, my God.

50:44 Okay, I'm in front of it.

50:45 Drew Okay. And then about another 30 seconds, so it'll go again. So it could just be a yeast infection just from introducing something new into the vagina. So you might want to try some over-the-counter yeast medication, okay?

50:56 Okay.

50:57 Drew Hold on. Hold on. Leticia. Quiet. There it goes.

51:05 Adam One ping only?

51:08 Drew How long has that thing been chirping away at you?

51:12 Excuse me?

51:13 Drew How long has that thing been chirping at you?

51:15 I'm not sure.

51:17 Drew Where is it? Where are you now? Where are you standing?

51:19 In front of it? The fire alarm thing? Yeah, I get that.

51:23 Drew Yes, but what room were you in?

51:24 I'm in my room.

51:26 Drew So this thing's been going off in your room for God only knows how long? How do you sleep at night?

51:32 I think about Mark and I have pleasantries.

51:37 Drew And you live through a smoke detector.

51:39 Yeah, thinking about that.

51:40 Adam There it is again. You gotta change that thing.

51:44 Drew Will you please put the four volt, what is it, nine volt battery?

51:46 Adam Nine volt battery.

51:47 Drew Please?

51:49 I will.

51:50 Drew It's funny, but it's not. You've been living with something in your room, chirping at you.

51:53 Adam That would drive me crazy. I've only been on the phone, how long have we been on the phone? Two minutes and I'm already annoyed by it.

51:57 Drew Any human would be driven to distraction by that. And by the way, there's a reason it's chirping, right? You know why it's chirping? Why?

52:06 Adam Because the battery is dead and you desperately need to change the battery in case, God forbid, there's a fire, smoke in the room, you need to be alarmed.

52:14 Drew And God forbid, you're...

52:15 Adam There it is again! Telling you, for the love of God, change the battery.

52:20 I die a happy woman, I don't care.

52:22 Drew And God forbid, your central nervous system begins functioning again and if it does and you wake up from your coma, this will drive you insane. Okay? Okay.

52:31 Caller All right.

52:32 Drew Happens all the time in the show. People call in that there's smoke textures going off the back. It drives us crazy listening to it at 20 yards distance across the... Anderson's chirping it for us.

52:42 Adam Maybe it's the battery here in this studio.

52:43 Drew No, he's doing it. He's doing it. There it is. Okay. Let's see. Let's get a call from Danielle who's 19.

52:52 Adam Hi, Danielle.

52:53 Hi.

52:54 Drew What's going on there?

52:56 I had a question about... I know that you guys have just talked about breast enhancement and getting your breasts done. I'm 19 and I've heard things where, you know, getting them at like 18, 19 would be a bad idea because it could propose a problem if you're not... if you haven't fully developed, if you're still growing.

53:14 Drew Breastfeeding too.

53:16 Caller Right.

53:17 Well, I've already had my daughter, but if I ever decided to have children later on, I propose a problem.

53:26 Drew I don't know how serious a problem. I mean, you can get... there are cosmetic issues. You can get involutional changes of pregnancy and get sort of things sagging on top of the implant. I don't know if it precludes... it might preclude you from being able to breastfeed.

53:41 Adam I don't think so.

53:42 Drew Don't think so? I don't think so.

53:44 Adam I have no medical reason to say that at all. I'm just guessing. I'm a dude. What do I know?

53:49 Drew Well, if you have any... I don't have any direct knowledge of this. I remember asking about this one time for a plastic surgeon and him bringing up some issues, but I don't think it precluded breastfeeding.

54:00 Adam When they put an implant, don't they put the actual boob behind the plastic?

54:03 Drew It depends where they put it. They can't put it out of the muscle and whatnot, so some of that can be taken into consideration based on where they put the implant.

54:11 Also, I've heard from other people, which I don't know if they know what they're talking about or not, but you have to get them redone every 10 years.

54:19 Drew That often happens. You need to realize when you get breast implants, you're usually signing up for a series of procedures. It's not you get them in and that's it for the rest of your life. You're usually having revisions and scars and removals and things.

54:31 Adam Women have to go through so much.

54:33 Drew It's a process. Danielle, you're 19. You sound like you're 43. What's going on in your life?

54:38 Caller Oh, I'm sick.

54:40 Drew You're sick.

54:41 Caller I'm sick.

54:42 Drew Well, I'm afraid that doesn't fully explain what I'm hearing. You sound like you've been through a couple of tours of duty somewhere.

54:49 Caller Pardon me?

54:50 Drew You're 19. You already have a child and you sound like you've been a nurse in Vietnam. What's going on?

54:58 Caller Oh, no.

55:01 Caller I had my daughter at 18 and-

55:06 Drew What do you do for a living now?

55:08 Caller I'm doing a lot of just waitressing stuff and that's about it.

55:13 Adam Women have to go through so much. I don't know why they'd go through the surgery of breast implants after, especially after childbirth. I mean, if you go through childbirth, I would be done with all medical procedures after that.

55:23 Drew Don't you think if a man had to have a child, there would be no further propagation of the species? Yeah. That'd be it.

55:29 Adam It's rough. My hat's off to you ladies because I couldn't do it.

55:32 Drew Eric, 21.

55:34 Caller Yeah, I'm going because I've got a pretty bad problem. I mean, every long-term relationship I've been in, I've cheated on them. I mean, I need to know if this is something compulsive. I mean, I try not to and I mean, I just, I can't stop. But it's like, I mean, every night I'm out.

55:50 Drew Give us more detail.

55:51 Adam No, this is the part where you come in and you're like, I know exactly what happened. This happened to you. And then they're like, that's right.

55:57 Drew Well, hold on. I need to find out what the deal is. How many long-term relationships have you had?

56:02 Caller I've had two, and I've been one that's currently been going on for about a year and a half.

56:06 Drew This is number three or this is number two?

56:08 Caller This is number three.

56:10 Drew And so on each of those, you terminate the relationship by cheating.

56:15 Caller Basically, I either get caught or I just fall out of touch or...

56:21 Adam You gotta stop getting caught.

56:23 Well, I've only been caught once.

56:25 Adam Okay.

56:26 Drew Why are you... Are you gay?

56:29 Caller Yeah, yeah, yeah.

56:30 Drew Okay.

56:32 Adam I like how he just went with it. That was cool.

56:34 Drew Well, that's what I'm picking up on. Well, that's sort of... If you go stand in front of the sort of the section of the bookstore for gay and lesbians, and you'll see most of that is populated with how to deal with cheating boyfriends and how to try to have a relationship when you have difficulty and you're compulsively... You know what I'm saying? That's a really common problem in the gay community is staying in a stable, monogamous relationship. Some of it is that you're men, you know what I mean? And if men running amok, it's just tons of opportunity. It's hard to contain that. Some of it is that sexual abuse is a common heritage, common history in people who are gay. Is that something you have?

57:15 Caller Not really, no.

57:16 Drew What do you mean, not really?

57:19 Caller I mean, I don't really... Well, I was kind of, but I don't really consider myself to be abused. I mean, I was...

57:27 Drew What happened?

57:28 Caller I was bombed like three times by an uncle, but I mean, I wouldn't really call that...

57:34 Drew It wasn't overt sexual abuse.

57:36 Caller It wasn't overt, no.

57:38 Drew Yeah. All right. So we don't have that to sort of go on with you, because that's another reason people get compulsively sexual and have trouble being in stable relationships. And then finally, is there other issues in your past that make it difficult to be intimate and stay intimate?

57:55 Caller I think maybe intimate as far as like, you know, emotionally, I think I have pretty much issues with that.

57:59 Drew And from where is that coming from? Where did that get started?

58:03 Caller Pretty much being rejected by my dad. I mean, yeah, that's a huge issue, but.

58:07 Drew All right.

58:08 So, so there you go.

58:09 Adam This is what you do. This is what I listen to the show and Dr. Drew.

58:12 Drew So being close to a man with you're gay, so it's going to be a man. And being close is a very treacherous place for you. It carries with it the probability of rejection. So naturally enough, a way to avoid that is to you first sabotage the relationship or be the rejector yourself. One of the amazing things about humans and trauma, aside from the fact that they reenact it over and over and over again, is that when you have a trauma, often times you either become the perpetrator or the victim. You play both roles. You know what I mean? So you become the one that gets left or the one that does the leaving. In your case, you're busy doing the leaving to make sure you don't become the one that gets left. What's going to happen, you're really going to fall deeply for some guy and that guy's going to leave. So you need, why don't you get a little therapy about this, Eric? You seem smart and you sort of understand what's going on here. You have a healthy goal. You want to have a stable monogamous relationship. That's wonderful. You're not going to have that with all that S flying around your head.

59:08 Adam But at least you know, that's cool. I mean, at least you know that you want to be with somebody and that's cool.

59:15 Drew Alrighty. Cool, thanks so much. Alright buddy, take care. That's what we call born gay. I mean, he's gay, that's it, that's him. That's who he is and he needs to figure out how to have monogamy and all of his issues, of course, are with dad because-

59:29 Adam Are there other gays?

59:31 Drew There's people that are created, made gay. Really? When male sexual abuse on males helps sort of bring that out. But either way you get there, it's a deep wiring and it's there. And you ain't going to change that. If you're looking at Newsweek or something, they're talking about trying to change guys, it just doesn't work.

59:47 Adam People are who they are.

59:48 Drew People are who they are. It's like trying to change your sexual preferences in terms of what you find attractive.

59:53 Adam Right.

59:53 Drew I mean imagine that. You're going to, we're going to talk you out of what you were into.

59:57 Adam Right.

59:57 Drew Impossible? No.

59:59 Adam No.

1:00:00 Drew Not possible.

1:00:00 Adam But it's cool. At least he knows that he wants to be in a relationship. And good luck to you my friend. Godspeed, be gay.

1:00:06 Drew Karen19. You and I have shared a moment.

1:00:10 Adam Yes. We got our hair washed together. I can empathize with you. I got my hair washed next to Dr. Drew.

1:00:15 Drew Karen.

1:00:17 Adam Hello.

1:00:18 Drew Caller who goes by Karen. He's 19.

1:00:20 Adam Hello.

1:00:21 Caller There you are.

1:00:21 Adam Hey.

1:00:22 Drew Here we go.

1:00:22 Caller Hi.

1:00:22 Drew Sorry.

1:00:23 Caller It's Karen.

1:00:24 Adam Hi, Karen.

1:00:25 Drew Oh, okay. Karen19.

1:00:27 Caller Hi.

1:00:28 How are you guys doing?

1:00:29 Drew Great.

1:00:30 Adam I'm holding a Wiener vibrator and I'm talking on the radio.

1:00:34 Caller I was listening a couple of weeks ago and you guys were talking about The Keeper.

1:00:39 Drew Yeah.

1:00:40 Caller Well, I went online and I looked at it because I was just interested.

1:00:43 Caller I've never heard of it before.

1:00:45 Caller And something else came up called the soft cup.

1:00:48 Drew It's the same thing, isn't it?

1:00:50 Adam I'm left out. I don't know what you guys are talking about.

1:00:51 Caller I guess it doesn't have like the stem or something. It looks kind of like a diaphragm.

1:00:57 Drew Yeah. They're basically cups that hold your spillage.

1:01:01 Caller And they were- What is this?

1:01:02 Drew For your period. It's way not an alternative to cotton.

1:01:06 Caller Gross.

1:01:08 Drew For your period.

1:01:09 Caller Yeah.

1:01:09 Caller What it was saying though is that you would be able to have sex with it in, like normal.

1:01:16 Adam Hey, hey, hey, hey. Sex during the period? Come on.

1:01:20 Caller It would be no blood.

1:01:22 Adam We don't need these joke calls, okay? Serious calls only. Hey.

1:01:29 Caller I was just wondering, I've never heard a lot about it and it didn't have any kind of downfall on the website. Why is it not popular?

1:01:39 Adam Because you're on your period.

1:01:40 Caller Well, no, it's-

1:01:42 Drew Try it, try it. Here you go, Karen, I want you to do something for me. Okay. I want you to get it, try it and call me back and tell us, was it, is it something about it that makes it unpopular?

1:01:52 Adam So this is a cup that you wear while you're having sex while you're on your period?

1:01:55 Drew No, no, it's really, it's in, well, that's really not what it's-

1:01:57 Caller It's inside, it's inside, so you can't see it, you can't feel it.

1:02:00 Drew It's just, well, I bet you feel it.

1:02:02 Adam So it stops your period while you're hanging out?

1:02:03 Drew Yeah, it just holds your period kind of thing.

1:02:05 Adam Oh, great.

1:02:09 Drew Karen loves freaking you out. Go ahead, Karen, freak him out some more.

1:02:12 Caller Pardon? Freak him out some more?

1:02:13 Drew Yeah, just talk some more about your period.

1:02:15 Caller Well, then you have to like wash it out or-

1:02:22 Caller That's kind of questionable. And I can understand how that wouldn't be pleasant, but I would just like-

1:02:27 Drew I know it's natural.

1:02:28 Adam I know it's natural. I know it's natural. It's part of God's great scheme. And, you know, it's a beautiful thing. It creates life. It's why women can have babies and the species continues. And it's still just not something I want to know about or even acknowledge.

1:02:43 Drew Karen, do me a favor. You sound great. Please get one. Call us back.

1:02:46 Adam Let us know. Hey, have a party. It's great.

1:02:48 Drew All right. Thanks.

1:02:49 Adam Thank you guys.

1:02:50 Drew All right. Bye. Hey, I would understand. I would like to hear David on a grill vomiting just to make Mark feel good. A little more. Know what? I have to do.

1:03:06 Oh, what?

1:03:07 Adam Oh, I see it on a computer screen in the background of your studio. It looks so rotten. Oh, man.

1:03:16 Drew Yeah, there it is with the stem on it and everything. Oh, looks like a big plunger, doesn't it?

1:03:19 Adam If my wife is listening, I ain't never coming home.

1:03:23 Drew You know, I have to do Adam's to that show you did with him on Monday, and he's going to have me read out of the physician's desk reference, the names of medication, because David Algarro was in here one night. And I was talking to a woman about the morning after pill, what kinds of birth control products you can use as a morning after pill. And David Algarro converted every one of the names I was saying of these medications into the name of African American children, and acting it out as the big mom yelling at the kids to stop their fooling around here. Anders, can we get a little bit of that? I have micrograms of ethanol estradiol, which is the progesterone, it's the levonadestriol.

1:04:03 Caller And where is levonadestriol?

1:04:06 Drew Or the northendrone?

1:04:07 Caller Northendrone. Put that whiffle ball back down. Come in the house. It's your behind. I'm sick of these kids.

1:04:18 Drew So we're going to relive that moment for Adam's pleasure and he's going to do that on his show. So anyway, here we go. Let's get some more Mark Hoppus calls. Sarah, 17.

1:04:29 Caller Hi, I have a question for Mark.

1:04:32 Adam Hi.

1:04:33 Caller Hey, Marcus, I was just wondering what to expect on the DVD that's coming out of The Greatest Hits DVD.

1:04:40 Adam The Greatest Hits DVD, to be honest, it's going to have all your favorite songs from Blink 182 in the video format and oh, so not much more. I don't know exactly. I think it's all the videos for all the songs that we have videos for. I know that they were talking about putting backstage footage and scenes from tour. We actually had our friend Estevan follow us around for about six months with a camera. I don't know if that's coming out on this DVD or if they're saving that for later. Later! I'm getting motions from the other side of the glass saying later. This one is just the videos? Am I correct? This one is all your favorite Blink 182 songs in the video format for your DVD pleasure. You have such hits as Damn It, All the Small Things, What's My Age Again, and The Rock Show.

1:05:26 Drew I'm sorry, I didn't mention that it's coming out on November 1st. Do we have the next song lined up? We don't. Okay, so maybe the next break, we'll get another song from the Greatest Hits CD.

1:05:35 Adam Yes, indeed.

1:05:36 Drew This now is Taylor 15.

1:05:39 Yeah.

1:05:39 Caller I have a question for Mark.

1:05:40 Caller Yeah.

1:05:42 I'm wondering how you got involved with your music, your bass.

1:05:47 Adam I actually, when I was in high school, a friend of mine gave me a cassette of The Cures album. It was the first time that I'd heard that, and at the same time, I got the Descendants I Don't Want to Grow Up album, and like those two CDs kind of changed my life. My CDs back then was cassettes.

1:06:05 Drew Were you a bass player already?

1:06:07 Adam No, no, no. I liked music and I grew up listening to music and my parents always had music playing in the background, but I never really felt like music spoke to me until I listened to The Descendants and The Cure. I got inspired by music and I don't know, I was just drawn to the bass guitar. I always thought it was cool and started playing bass and learning how to play songs of bands that I liked and that's kind of where it all started.

1:06:29 Simon Gallup, right?

1:06:31 Adam Yeah, Simon Gallup.

1:06:32 Who knew that?

1:06:33 Drew The Descendants.

1:06:34 Adam That's exactly right. The Descendants? Simon Gallup was bass player for The Cure and still is actually now again. He was out for a couple of years, but he was back. I started playing bass guitar then too. I know so much about The Cure. I could go on forever.

1:06:46 Drew Brian 24.

1:06:48 Adam Yeah.

1:06:49 Hello.

1:06:49 Adam Hi. How are you doing?

1:06:51 Dr. Drew. Hey, man. How are you guys doing?

1:06:52 Drew We're good.

1:06:53 Hey, I got a good question for you. Sorry to interrupt you guys, but my wife is five months pregnant with my son. Actually, I have a daughter who is 18 months old. And I have a question considering my brother-in-law is gay.

1:07:07 Drew Right.

1:07:07 And I'm kind of I'm not against gays at all. I don't want your college thinking I'm trying to bash gays or have a problem with gays, but I worry about my son being gay. If I bring my brother-in-law around, I care about him a lot. He's a cool guy. I have nothing wrong with him or his man or what do you want to say? But it just kind of freaks me out. I kind of worry if my son could become gay because he knows my brother-in-law or he hangs out with my brother-in-law.

1:07:34 Drew No.

1:07:34 Adam Well, let me tell you, there's two types according to Dr. Drew. There's born gay and then there's, what's the other one?

1:07:41 Drew Made gay.

1:07:42 Adam Made gay.

1:07:43 Drew Made the field. And the only way I would be concerned about your brother-in-law is if he had been sexually abused himself, in which case there's about a 60% chance that he could be a perpetrator in spite of himself. And you might want to kind of keep an eye on him if that were the case. But it still isn't something that's transmitted to children, nor is it have any kind of familial sort of pattern to it. You know what I'm saying?

1:08:09 Yeah, he's, I mean, he's, I'll think he's a sexually, actually I can vouch he's not been sexually abused.

1:08:14 Drew All right, well, there you go. Then relax, Brian, relax. Then you just relax. Let your brother-in-law be your brother-in-law. Relax, relax.

1:08:20 Adam Yeah.

1:08:21 Drew It's a good time.

1:08:21 Adam It's cool, it's cool. It's gonna be okay.

1:08:25 Drew Max 16.

1:08:26 Yeah, hi.

1:08:27 Drew Hey buddy.

1:08:30 So I had a question for Dr. Drew. Yep. I called a little while back. I had a journey to Florida about a guy who got in trouble for having a sex doll. I thought he was like a corpse.

1:08:43 Drew Right.

1:08:47 I had the question about the polyurethane and the other, and the latex condoms, the difference between the two.

1:08:54 Drew Yes.

1:08:55 Well, because I've been using polyurethane condoms because I don't like latex because I have like sort of an allergic anger latex.

1:09:03 Drew Good. You're not sexually active.

1:09:06 Yeah. I am. Unfortunately, I am.

1:09:13 Drew Unfortunately, you are.

1:09:14 Caller For the rest of society besides me.

1:09:16 Caller Huh.

1:09:18 Caller All right.

1:09:18 Drew What's your question?

1:09:19 Caller No, but I'm practicing safe sex.

1:09:21 Drew What's your question?

1:09:23 Caller I use a polyurethane condom, and I was having sex with my new girlfriend, and she had like a yeast infection down there, but I got like an infection like on the back of like my head.

1:09:40 Drew What? The hell, Max, you're like making stuff up as you go here. No, no, no. These things don't even make sense.

1:09:46 Caller Okay, listen. When I was having sex with my girlfriend, I had a polyurethane condom on.

1:09:50 Drew Right. Polyurethane condom will protect you against STDs, virtually has not been properly tested as well, but looks as though it's virtually as good as a latex condom. Maybe not quite, but good enough. Yeast infections are really not STDs, so it has nothing to do with anything. And whatever you got on the head of your penis is something from an irritation from the condom.

1:10:13 Caller Well, I thought it was a yeast because I asked my doctor and she said it looked like a yeast or it could have been something, I don't know.

1:10:19 Drew Well, if it were a yeast, are you uncircumcised?

1:10:22 Caller No, I am circumcised.

1:10:23 Drew Yeah, I don't know. If you got the yeast there, it's not from having sex with your girlfriend. You can get yeast in your skin, but how could you get it? You haven't been exposed to it. And what it makes, if indeed you are having sex, you need to stop now, because you don't really understand what you're dealing with here. What's your other question?

1:10:38 Adam Did they make condoms out of skateboard wheels now?

1:10:41 Drew What's your other question?

1:10:42 Caller Sure, Mark, about Blink-L-82. Yeah. I've been hearing that you guys broke up.

1:10:50 Drew No, he just went up to great lengths to tell you about the future, this open possibilities in the future. We don't know what the future may hold for Blink.

1:10:58 Adam Yeah, we're just taking time off right now. It's a good, healthy thing. Travis and I have a project called Plus 44 that we're very excited about going in to the studio and recording. And that's really what we're focusing on right now.

1:11:09 Drew All right, it's Mark Hoppus, Blink-L-82. The phone number at Loveline is 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Dr. Drew and we will be right back.

1:11:16 Caller Dude, you got issues.

1:11:36 Drew Loveline, that's right, I'm gonna be dropping Trow. Is that right, Anderson? Is that the song that Dropp-

1:11:41 Caller Yeah, yeah, but it's not here, let's just-

1:11:43 Drew I'm just saying, it's the song you Dropp Troww to, isn't it?

1:11:45 Caller It's like when the teacher's gone, we have a substitute, and we all talk about the teacher and imitate the teacher, it's bad.

1:11:50 Drew It's bad, okay.

1:11:50 Caller Yeah, I just don't want to, I don't want to think about him right now, you know?

1:11:52 Caller Okay, good.

1:11:53 Caller But yeah, that's definitely the Dropp, Dropp, Troww song.

1:11:56 Drew Think good thoughts.

1:11:57 Caller That's why I played it tonight.

1:11:58 Drew Blink 182, 1-800-LOVE-191, Mark Hoppus in the studio. There it is, the Dropp and Troww. And Meg on the line, she is 23. Meg?

1:12:07 Hi.

1:12:08 Drew Hi. What's going on, Meg?

1:12:10 Well, I have a question. I have, my family has a history, the males in my family have a history of being sex addicts. And over the past few years, I've had, so my family members, my sister in particular, she thinks that my behavior is similar to theirs. Where most of my friends are like, no, you're just an act, you know, very active person in the early 20s, but I'm starting to get concerned that maybe I might be.

1:12:34 Adam Who in their early 20s is not a sex addict?

1:12:37 Drew Well, it's though, you gotta ask yourself a couple questions. Are you having consequences from your sexual activity? Is it troubling you?

1:12:45 Well, sometimes. Like I have an ex-boyfriend that I haven't been able to stop sleeping with for the past six months. And I don't know if it's because of the sex.

1:12:53 Adam That's pretty normal, right?

1:12:54 Drew Yeah, that's kind of normal stuff.

1:12:55 Adam Same with me, ex-boyfriend, six months.

1:12:57 Drew What else? I told you we wouldn't talk about this on the air.

1:13:01 Well, while I've been sleeping with my ex-boyfriend, I'm always protected. I'm very, very safe about the sex I've had. I've never had an ex-boyfriend or anything like that. But I've had like, I've had eight partners just in the past like eight months. And whereas most people are like, oh, you know, that's normal for a 23-year-old that goes out and has fun. I've been starting to get more interested in a lot of other things like bondage and stuff like that.

1:13:26 Caller That's so cool.

1:13:27 Drew We're getting going here.

1:13:29 No, it's fun.

1:13:30 Drew All right. So the first thing is the consequences. Is it troubling to you? Or do you want to stop sort of the questions? Secondly, do you have a history of sexual abuse?

1:13:41 Caller No, I've never.

1:13:41 Drew Do you have a history of physical abuse?

1:13:44 Caller Yeah.

1:13:45 Drew All right. So you're an abuse survivor, which puts you at risk for various kinds of addiction. Is there a family history of alcoholism or chemical addictions?

1:13:52 Caller Chemical addiction and alcoholism, yeah.

1:13:54 Drew All right. So you're adding up to sex addiction. That's sort of the recipe for sexual addiction is physical or sexual abuse, genetics of alcoholism, and off you go. Now, the other way to get to where you are is through bipolar disorder.

1:14:09 Caller Okay. I have no history of bipolar in my family and I'm not bipolar.

1:14:12 Drew Okay. So it's probably more in the addiction realm. Addiction is a progressive process. It goes from milder states to more severe and advanced states, and it sounds like you're picking up a little steam.

1:14:23 Caller That's what worries me is the more I get of it, it's almost like the first time I did coke. I can't get enough of it, and the more I do it, the more I want it.

1:14:32 Drew Right. Then the more arousal you need and the more bizarre things you need to do to get the same level of satisfaction out of it. That's it. That's addiction. The more you do that, the more you feel ashamed and hidden about it, weirder and feel bad about yourself, and it makes you do more of it.

1:14:47 Caller Well, I don't ever feel bad after it.

1:14:49 Caller That's the thing, though, is every time I've ever done a drug and felt bad, after I have sex, I feel good, but then the next day, I'm like, oh, I want more.

1:14:56 Drew All right, well, you can continue down this path and see where it takes you, or you can do something about it.

1:15:02 Adam What do you do about something like that?

1:15:03 Drew Well, there are therapists that specialize in this sort of thing, and there is always the 12-step programs for this. There are people with your story, rooms full of them, at the SA meetings.

1:15:12 Adam Here's my question. If she's using protection every time and she has no guilt about it, is there, I mean, obviously...

1:15:18 Drew I think she sees where this is going.

1:15:19 Adam Yeah. Where does it go?

1:15:20 Drew Well, it's gonna get...

1:15:21 Caller Go ahead. It never leads to a relationship. I haven't had a serious relationship in five years. My boyfriend that I told you I couldn't, I can't stop sleeping with, we dated off and on for like a year, but it was never a commitment. I don't make commitments, I don't settle down with guys.

1:15:37 Drew I just kind of... And the other thing is, this is part of, I'm sure are going to be chemical addictions in and around all this too. Alcohol, stimulants, pot, whatever. And one of those is going to take hold as well, as you start to sort of spiral into all this. And you can either wait till that happens and then do something, or you can do something now.

1:15:54 Adam Although if you're self aware enough to call and ask about this, then you're probably self aware enough to know that you need to go talk to somebody, I guess, is that the deal? Well, I don't know these things.

1:16:03 Drew Yeah, but you need people who specialize in treatment of addiction, because it really is a very, very specialized need that you have there, Megan. I actually would first suggest you go to an SA 12-step meeting and then ask around for therapists that people have used, that they've had success with.

1:16:18 Caller Do you think a 12-step program should be in order at this point? I mean, I don't know.

1:16:22 Drew It's up to you. I can only tell you that it is in order, but it takes a lot of motivation to go do something like that. And most people don't or aren't motivated to do that until they really have some things happen to them. It's too gratifying now. You like it too much. It does too much for you. It has not enough negative yet for you really to get in and make it better. So you can go down that path. It's going to be rocky. Trust me. It's about another five years. You're going to be... It's not going to be pretty.

1:16:48 Adam What? I mean, what's the... Like, where does it end up?

1:16:52 Drew She's not going to be... She's going to be unhappy by herself, probably alcoholic and doing lots of weird stuff with lots of weird guys and eventually feeling bad about it. Right. She'll feel very bad about it. But we'll see. Austin, 15.

1:17:04 Caller Hello?

1:17:04 Drew Hey, Austin. What's going on?

1:17:06 Caller Hey, man. What's up? Mark?

1:17:08 Adam Yeah.

1:17:09 Caller Hey, man. What's up?

1:17:11 Adam Just hanging out in a room with a bunch of dudes talking to you.

1:17:15 Caller Dude, only for you.

1:17:16 Caller Do I sit there?

1:17:19 Adam I don't think so.

1:17:20 Drew You just blew it, big boy. Sorry about that. Why would he? It's just a bizarre question when you're live on the radio. Amy, 22.

1:17:33 Hi Mark, how are you?

1:17:34 Adam I'm great.

1:17:34 Drew Amy?

1:17:35 Hi, actually can I ask Mark a quick question?

1:17:38 Adam Yes, please do.

1:17:40 Drew Just don't use the F word like us.

1:17:41 Adam No F words please.

1:17:42 No, I won't. I knew you were or are somewhat affiliated with The Nervous Return and you toured with them.

1:17:48 Adam Yes, we did.

1:17:50 And I know the girl called earlier said her band was named Wake Up Dead.

1:17:54 Adam Yes, I made that connection as well.

1:17:55 Yeah.

1:17:56 Adam What was that? Wake Up Dead is actually the name of a Nervous Return. Is it the name of the album or is it the name of the song? Yeah, it's the name of the song. Hey, by the way, shameless plug from my friends in The Nervous Return. They are actually finishing up their next album right now and I've heard a few songs and it's great. I'm sorry.

1:18:13 Caller Huh?

1:18:14 They're actually on tour right now.

1:18:16 Adam Yes, they are.

1:18:16 Caller Have you heard their new material at all?

1:18:18 Adam Yeah, I have. I heard a few songs and it's great. It's really, really good. I'm a huge fan of The Nervous Return so I can't wait till it's out.

1:18:25 Drew What's up with Amy?

1:18:26 Adam What's up, Amy? Hi.

1:18:30 I have a strange question. My son was adopted in 2003. Since then, and I'm not sure what the normal length for PPD is.

1:18:42 Adam What's that?

1:18:42 Drew PPD?

1:18:43 Postpartum depression.

1:18:45 Caller Oh, okay.

1:18:47 I have not been able to maintain a romantic relationship, nor have I had any kind of sex drive.

1:18:53 Drew How old was the child when given up for adoption?

1:18:57 He was a baby. He was newborn.

1:18:59 Drew Okay. So first of all, I hope you share this with me, Mark, that we want to congratulate Amy for doing something very courageous on behalf of the child.

1:19:08 Yeah, it was kind of a forced decision.

1:19:12 Drew Forced decision? How does that work?

1:19:14 My mother called an attorney, and the attorney kind of forced my boyfriend and I to make that decision.

1:19:22 Drew Wow. Well, it's a good one for the child. There are a lot of people that are really ready to raise children in this country. And 22, I couldn't have raised a raccoon. I assume most 22-year-olds can't. So, and you may have had a postpartum depression, certainly 12 months. Any depression for the 12 months after delivery is considered a postpartum depression. And just having had a child can affect your sex drive. Women typically for the first year do not have much of a sex drive at all.

1:19:50 Adam That's true. It's true.

1:19:52 Drew Sometimes going on birth control pills will help kickstart things. Sometimes some testosterone.

1:19:56 I'm not really like looking for sex, but I...

1:19:59 Drew No, I understand. But you asked about it, and so we'll address it.

1:20:02 Yeah, but I pretty much tend to like ruin any kind of relationship that comes along.

1:20:05 Drew Well, and maybe some of that is just adaptive to try to prevent the possibility of getting into that feeling of grief and loss that undoubtedly you had in relation to that adopted child.

1:20:17 Adam Yeah, that's a lot to go through for sure. I'm sure it's not out of the question to be depressed for a while after going through something like that.

1:20:23 Drew Be depressed and to not want to be in a circumstance where that could possibly happen again.

1:20:27 Of course not. Of course I'm not looking for that to happen. But I think the problem is I feel that like in hopes of not getting over, but in hopes of kind of pushing through it, that you know a relationship would.

1:20:47 Drew I think that's the right attitude to have. I think it's a good idea. I think you keep pushing forward. And I think this will kind of take care of itself. If it doesn't, if you have trouble functioning, if you really can't have a relationship, if you're having thoughts of suicide or going to work, that kind of thing, or not sleeping, feeling anxiety attacks, please go ahead and look at some help. That's treatable condition. On that note.

1:21:08 Adam That's so much to go through. I mean, so much to go through.

1:21:11 Drew God bless her. The child is much better off on behalf of it.

1:21:15 Adam I mean, just being pregnant is so much to go through.

1:21:17 Drew Is it incredible?

1:21:18 Adam Yeah.

1:21:18 Drew Yeah. I mean, what happens afterwards, you've been on those tremendous hormones, and the one that your body suddenly lets down from that, it changes you for a while. For sure. Postpartum depression is a common and intensely biological process. But on that happy note, why don't we hear a Blink song? Yeah, please. Hey, good Mark, I want to do that. This song is called I Miss You. Mark Hoppison here with me tonight, Blink 182, that is I Miss You. And Mark and I will return in just a moment. One hundred L.O.V.E. Mark Hoppus is joining me in the studio. Mark, you just brought up off the air a few seconds ago before we came to the mics here, before they heated up, that he enjoyed Adam's and my discussion about hobo power. And that just to recapitulate what we discussed was that we were discussing someone's stinky.

1:25:58 Adam Yeah, someone's lady didn't smell so good down there.

1:26:00 Drew And we were trying to measure it out or sort of get a sense of it in terms of hobo power. Now, there's all kinds of units of measurement out there. There's horsepower and there's energy and jewels and dines and all kinds of stuff. But there's no units of smell, of stench. And so Adam and I invented something called hobo power. And basically the scale is 10 hobo powers rough, 50 hobo power you barf. 100 hobo power, only a theoretic possibility. Somebody actually achieves 100 hobo power, it could be that the universe could collapse.

1:26:33 Caller Yeah, it's the speed of light.

1:26:34 Drew Yeah, right, it's the speed of light, exactly. It's only a theoretic possibility. So please feel free to use hobo power in the future. My kids use it. Oh, really?

1:26:41 Caller Oh, absolutely.

1:26:42 Drew All right. Well, my sons gleefully announced about 30 hobo power farts. Oh, yeah, it's great. Twelve year old humor. All right. Another call for Mark. Trisha, 25.

1:26:51 Hi. How are you guys?

1:26:52 Adam Hi.

1:26:52 I just have a really quick question.

1:26:55 Caller Do you have any plans to go kind of back into the studio and do kind of more production work like you did for a Motion City soundtrack?

1:27:02 Adam Yeah. I love producing and I'm actually supposed to go into the studio this weekend and do pre-production with a band called The Matches that I'm excited to work with. I'm going to produce a couple of songs for them and there's a bunch of other stuff that I have coming up. I love producing. I love being in the studio and the whole creative process. So definitely.

1:27:18 Drew Tommy, 15.

1:27:19 Caller Oh, hello.

1:27:20 Drew Hi. It's a girl, Tommy.

1:27:22 Caller Hey, Mark.

1:27:23 Drew Wow.

1:27:23 Caller Ty, how are you?

1:27:25 Caller I just want to thank you for being like my hero. I play bass because of you and I just like what you do. Like with the clothing line, I want to have my own clothing line too.

1:27:34 Drew Is Tommy really your name or is it just a Blink reference?

1:27:36 Caller Oh, it's really my name.

1:27:38 Drew Yeah, wow.

1:27:39 Caller Yeah, it's a cool name. Cool. And I also want to say that I had missed a show that Blink was playing and I actually missed it. So I wondered if there was any way that you could make it up, like an autograph or something?

1:27:53 Adam Sure. If someone off the air can get her address or whatever, I'll send an autograph.

1:27:57 Drew We need to send Tommy on line four an autograph if Mark wants to do that, okay? This is Gloria20. Gloria.

1:28:04 Caller Hi.

1:28:05 Caller How are you guys doing?

1:28:06 Drew We're good.

1:28:06 Caller What's up?

1:28:08 Adam Are you mad about the Germany or Florida thing earlier and you're calling to complain?

1:28:11 Caller No, no, no, no, no.

1:28:13 Caller Nothing like that.

1:28:15 Caller Actually, I have a question.

1:28:17 Drew Yeah.

1:28:18 Caller I heard you guys talking about bipolar disorder a little while ago. Yeah, yeah.

1:28:22 Caller I'm supposedly, and I say supposedly because I don't think I am, I'm supposedly diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

1:28:29 Drew Well, it's not for you to determine. Did you have a psychiatrist evaluate you? Okay, then you're bipolar disorder.

1:28:35 Caller Okay.

1:28:36 Caller But then again, I also did, I guess it's wrong of me to stop taking my medications to see if whether or not I was really bipolar.

1:28:47 Drew Well, good times.

1:28:48 Caller Because I don't feel like I am.

1:28:51 Drew Okay. Well, what's your question?

1:28:54 Caller Well, my parents forced me to go out 14 years and...

1:28:58 Drew At age 14.

1:28:59 Caller At age 14. So...

1:29:00 Drew So that's when you were put on meds?

1:29:02 Caller That's when I started taking medication.

1:29:04 Drew Okay.

1:29:05 Caller So I don't understand why I don't feel like I'm bipolar, yet I have to be taking medication and, you know, I...

1:29:14 Drew Well, there is some evidence that if you suppress some of the violent swings of mood, you know, bipolar is about going from very, very high highs, manic episodes to very, very low lows. That's sort of an over-simplification, but that's basically what happens. And I've seen some research that suggests if you suppress those swings early, they may not be as bad later on in life, or you may even suppress the whole process. And so it's something that somewhere between age 18 and 22, where if those swings really get going, then you are stuck with that the rest of your life. So they may have done you a favor and maybe they have dodged a bullet in some respect. Maybe this will be something that will become an issue later.

1:29:56 Adam But when you're like, when you're 13 to 15, 16, It's hard to make a diagnosis of anything.

1:30:01 Caller It's very hard to make a diagnosis. That's why I question it all the time because of the fact that, yes, it runs in the family, but are you sure that that was the reason why I was acting out at 14 or, you know what I mean?

1:30:12 Drew It's all reasonable questions. I thought you were going to tell me that you've been put on medications recently and you were now questioning it. But no, this is a reasonable thing.

1:30:20 Caller Actually, the recent medication I've been taking haven't been working.

1:30:24 Drew But, Gloria, here's the deal. It's a serious enough question that, again, an expert, let's say you were a psychiatrist, you would still go get evaluated by another professional and get their opinion as to what you should do. You shouldn't be managing this on your own. So it's a serious disorder.

1:30:41 Caller You know why it's hard? It's hard because I'm a psych major.

1:30:44 Drew Well, listen, like I said... I can't evaluate myself. If you were a psychiatrist with 20 years of experience, the last thing you would do is evaluate yourself. You can't do that. It doesn't work. You can't be objective about a subjective state. So go get evaluated, let them decide, work with that person and make sure it's somebody you trust and feel good about and communicate with and go check it out.

1:31:06 Adam If you were a psychiatrist...

1:31:07 Caller I have a psychiatrist for 10 years now and he's the same person.

1:31:11 Drew Maybe you want another opinion because you're having trouble believing or trusting this person.

1:31:16 Adam Can even a psychiatrist diagnose him or herself?

1:31:19 Drew You shouldn't. You can suspect what's going on. You can go and say, hey, I'm having these symptoms. I'm worried. I've got this going on. But you would never treat yourself. So the worst thing you can possibly do never works out. Priscilla, 15.

1:31:31 Caller Hi.

1:31:32 Drew Hi. What's going on?

1:31:33 Caller Hi. I have phobias and anxiety disorder.

1:31:37 Drew And so does Mark.

1:31:39 Adam Hey, me too.

1:31:39 Caller Oh, really? Yeah.

1:31:41 Drew Wash his hands all the time. He doesn't have to fly anywhere.

1:31:44 Caller Yeah, exactly.

1:31:45 Adam I freak out on airplanes because I just think of how dirty the airplane bathrooms are.

1:31:50 Drew I want to hold your urine the whole way across the states.

1:31:52 Adam No, but honestly, when I use the restroom in an airplane, I make sure I'm very conscious of which hand I'm like touching handles with.

1:31:58 Drew I wish you could see the disgust on his face.

1:32:00 Adam Oh, I travel with the hand sanitizer stuff. I'm always, like I said, very careful to not use the hand that I touch the door with or anything.

1:32:09 Drew Nice.

1:32:11 Caller You know, it's not really a germ phobia. Like, I'm afraid bridges, movie theaters, subways, trains.

1:32:17 Drew Oh, boy. So you're, that's really.

1:32:19 Adam Very transportation based.

1:32:20 Drew Well, it sounds.

1:32:22 Caller Being far away from home even.

1:32:23 Drew It sounds like agoraphobia. Sort of your fear of open spaces.

1:32:28 Caller I'm in therapy right now.

1:32:29 Drew Good.

1:32:30 Caller I've only gone like three times. I don't really see it going anywhere.

1:32:34 Drew Takes a long time. Do not expect to see any improvement. It will happen like snail's pace. It's what it takes. You're changing your brain's function. Let's say it. Takes a long time.

1:32:45 Adam If I were going to go in and have someone talk to me about germs in the outside world, what would baby steps be?

1:32:51 Drew I'll take after the break.

1:32:51 Adam Okay, cool.

1:33:29 Drew What about Does It For Lovelines? Thank you, Mark Hoppus, for coming in here.

1:33:32 Adam Thank you for having me.

1:33:33 Drew I hope you will come back soon. It had been altogether too long. You held the record for most frequent visitor at Loveline.

1:33:39 Adam I shall return.

1:33:40 Drew And you just sort of trashed the whole thing. We just played Bakersfield. Yeah.

1:33:44 Adam We just played Bakersfield.

1:33:45 Drew What was the other guy's really big, how's that go?

1:33:48 Adam I have a really big dick. Nice.

1:33:50 Drew That's what I'm saying. We started with that, we'll finish with that. So again, the CD is coming out November 1st. He's also got the new project with Travis Plus 44, and when you guys put the CD out from that or finish the CD, at least come on in here, we'll talk about that.

1:34:03 Adam Definitely.

1:34:04 Drew But I hope you'll come in before that, too.

1:34:06 Adam Surely.

1:34:06 Drew Thank you very much.

1:34:07 Adam Thanks for having me.

1:34:07 Drew It's Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew, and we will take a little extendo break, and on behalf of Adam Corolla, I will tell you mahalo.
