Listener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.
9:02
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla, this is Dr. Drew.
9:06
Adam
My mic plugged in somewhere different than I grew up.
9:09
Drew
Yeah, that sounds good. Right in front of you.
9:12
No, I see it's plugged in there.
9:13
Is it usually plugged in there?
9:14
Drew
Yeah.
9:15
The shows were like, cannot perform.
9:19
Voiceover
I'm screwed up. I'm spinning. I might as well just give me acid and put me on a potter's wheel. I cannot focus on the show today. Dr. Drew, everyone, board-certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. We're very happy to welcome back to the show, Bad Religion.
9:39
Thank you. Thank you so much.
9:41
Adam
Today, you're all in here. Bad Religion is a band that I've been here on K-Rock for many, many, many, many a year. Many, many, many. Many a year. Bad Religion is coming on 20 years now? 21. Wow.
10:00
Caller
We just passed 20.
10:01
Adam
Really? Oh, you're going that direction.
10:04
Caller
Interesting.
10:04
Adam
I thought you started at like 40. We're heading down. I would be right. Okay. But you, you A-holes have started at zero and are heading toward, heading toward like 30 or something, right? Yeah. Oh, that's great. Bad Religion is one of the smarter bands in rock and roll. And they've been in here a couple of times, although we have not seen the fellas in a, it's been a couple of years now. So welcome back.
10:31
Bad Religion
We missed you dearly.
10:34
Thanks. Think about you daily.
10:36
Adam
Yes. Dr. Drew and Nappy Head. What the hell is that Brillo guy name? The Process of Belief is the name of the new CD. It will be out January 22nd. Bad Religion is going to be playing at the Acoustic Christmas on Saturday. And I will definitely be looking forward to seeing them. We will hear something off the new CD and give out some tour dates, I'm guessing, and all that good stuff. When was the last tour? How long has it been?
11:07
Bad Religion
We have not been on a stage since March of this year. That was in South America. And we haven't been on stage in North America for one year. Our last show here was November 7th of 2000.
11:24
Adam
How's South America? How do they treat Bad Religion?
11:27
Bad Religion
Oh, they love it. Basically, the Latin countries love Bad Religion because I think of the dominance of the Catholic Church in those countries. Right.
11:36
Adam
So it's really...
11:37
Bad Religion
They seem to like...
11:38
Adam
They're making a statement.
11:39
Bad Religion
I think so.
11:40
We were one of the first punk bands to play in South America as well. I think the Ramones were quite popular when we showed up there. And then we were one of the... I think we were the second band after the Ramones.
11:49
Adam
And oh my God. Jesus. Is it... does it feel like 21 years? No.
11:56
Bad Religion
No, because every year we... I don't know. Every year we seem to... Every time we put out a new record, it seems like the first time again. Right.
12:05
Adam
And Drew, every time you renew your contract here, it's the same, right?
12:10
Drew
First time.
12:10
Adam
Drew, how long have you been on this show?
12:12
Drew
18 years.
12:13
Adam
Jesus Christ.
12:15
I knew you looked familiar.
12:17
Adam
See, the thing about a band that's been together for 21 years, that's cool. But a guy has been doing the same late night radio gig for 18 years.
12:24
Drew
That's uncool.
12:24
Adam
Yeah, that's very bad. It's tenacity.
12:26
No, it's just like, you guys seem like teenagers.
12:29
Bad Religion
Yeah.
12:29
Your voices are like old.
12:32
Adam
Wait till you see our scrotums.
12:34
Drew
Wait a minute. I got something for you today.
12:40
Bad Religion
That's disgusting.
12:40
Drew
It's about what I want to do with my life.
12:42
Adam
Oh.
12:42
Just what is it that you want to do?
12:43
Adam
Drew loves this.
12:44
We want to be free.
12:46
We want to be free to do what we want to do.
12:49
And we want to get loaded.
12:50
Bad Religion
And we want to have a good time.
12:51
And that's what we're going to do.
12:53
Bad Religion
Oh, wait, baby. Let's go.
12:54
We want to do what we want.
12:55
We're going to have a good time.
12:56
Bad Religion
We're going to have a party.
12:59
Adam
That was like a drop from the beginning of the Mother Station out here, K-Rock. And I don't know, we don't want to get too nostalgic tonight. But I used to listen to Loveline for the years when I grew up in LA. And I listen to Bad Religion. And so it's kind of weird being the old new guy here.
13:19
Drew
Yeah.
13:19
Adam
All right, let's.
13:20
The old new guy.
13:22
Drew
He's the new guy. The old guy amongst the old old guys.
13:25
Adam
The medium old amongst the super old elite. Kimberly.
13:30
Yeah.
13:31
Adam
You're 16, what's up?
13:34
Caller
I've had three different sexual partners and I haven't been able to orgasm like. I think I might have been close, but I'm not sure.
13:44
Drew
You're 16.
13:45
Caller
Yeah.
13:46
Drew
Well, first of all, that would be normal for a 16 year old, OK? It's rather unusual to find someone that can have an orgasm during intercourse at 16. What I'm concerned with is why three different guys already?
13:57
Adam
Well, 16, that's not too bad.
13:59
Drew
That's not too bad.
14:00
Adam
But it's like one every 5.3 years.
14:04
Drew
How 16 are you? When's your birthday?
14:06
Adam
You know what I mean? That's not bad.
14:07
Caller
I'll be 17 in February.
14:11
Drew
Everything going OK?
14:12
Adam
You stinking whore. I didn't say that.
14:15
Bad Religion
Can you orgasm when you're alone?
14:17
Caller
No.
14:19
Adam
Did the guys do the oral sex thing?
14:21
Caller
Yeah. And that isn't, like, it's not any better than sex.
14:27
Bad Religion
Are you feeling really tense when you're intimate with someone?
14:31
Caller
No.
14:31
Bad Religion
Not relaxed?
14:33
Caller
No. Not at all. Like, at first, the first time I have. But now I'm really comfortable.
14:40
Adam
Have you been with one of these guys for a while?
14:43
Caller
I've been with all of them for a really long time. And the guy that I'm with right now, who's gotten me closer than anything, has been my best friend for, like, three years. And we've been together for, like, almost seven months.
14:53
Drew
Do you really care about him?
14:54
Caller
Yeah.
14:55
Adam
So, do you tell him that he's gotten you closer? Like, the other guys, they just...
14:59
Caller
Yeah.
14:59
Adam
They were, like, 25 percenters, but he's...
15:01
Caller
He denied it, but...
15:02
Adam
He's what?
15:02
Caller
He denied it.
15:03
Bad Religion
He denied that he gets you close?
15:05
Caller
Yeah, he's like, you're just saying that to make me feel better, but...
15:08
Bad Religion
You know, sometimes the problem can be, if you put too much emphasis on orgasm, then you actually...
15:15
Caller
It's not that important to me. It's just I want to know if there's, like, something wrong, because I have a friend who has, like, a million times, you know, and I just feel like...
15:23
Bad Religion
You just need to find your spot. You haven't found your spot yet.
15:27
Caller
Yeah.
15:27
Drew
And I think more over, you need to understand that there are some people that just do it a million times, have no problem with it. Women have a greater spectrum of responsiveness. Most are not finding their spot until they're 18, 20, 22.
15:39
Adam
Oh, yes. Yeah, at least.
15:41
Caller
Yeah.
15:41
Bad Religion
I mean, Drew, you can back me up on this. A woman's sexual prime is much later than a teenage male, right?
15:46
Drew
Much later.
15:47
Adam
And in some, in women, like I said, it's all over the map. Guys are real consistent. I mean, how much does the average 16-year-old guy vary sexually? And how much does the average 16-year-old girl vary sexually? It's quite a bit. And I believe that some women just, you know, just essentially bogart the orgasms. They hoard. You know, Connie over here is having 75, and I got nothing. Give me one of those. They're like some sort of land barons or something, or slumlords or something. They hog all of the orgasms. And poor Kimberly. And the more Kimberly focuses on it, the farther away she's going to get from it.
16:25
Drew
She can't do it by herself. It's not going to happen by the person. It's really not.
16:28
Adam
Just relax.
16:29
Bad Religion
It can if you find what to tell them.
16:31
Bad Religion
This is my advice, though. Whatever you do, do not buy a vibrator, because you're having trouble. Right.
16:37
Adam
Oh, ow.
16:38
Bad Religion
And you resort to the vibrator, then what will end up happening is you get hooked on that thing, and then you'll never be able to do it with that one.
16:44
Adam
It's taking the easy way out. It's like getting on the steroids or something, so it's just working out. You'll pay down the road. James?
16:52
Yes.
16:52
Adam
You're 42?
16:53
Caller
42.
16:54
Adam
42?
16:55
Caller
42?
16:56
Caller
22.
16:57
Caller
22.
16:58
Adam
22. OK. The screen says 42. Oh, well, now I know why the screen says 42, by the way. It's by the way James pronounces his own age. That's right. All right.
17:09
Bad Religion
If you're 42, James, why are you calling Loveline?
17:12
Caller
No, 22.
17:13
Adam
22. On with Bad Religion. What's up? I don't know.
17:16
Caller
How about, I've been married for two years, been on my wife for four, got a daughter. I, in every single night, I dream, well, practically, I'm in a couple of breaks in between, but pretty much every single night, I dream sexually about other women, other my wife. And I don't know why.
17:34
Drew
Are you sexually active with your wife?
17:37
Caller
You know, once a month, obviously not, but I would prefer, but...
17:40
Drew
Once a month? What's going on?
17:44
Caller
She just, she never wants to, I mean, she barely ever wants to have it.
17:47
Drew
Is she, did you just have your child?
17:50
Well, she's three.
17:51
Drew
Three. Is she on medication, your wife?
17:53
Caller
Well, yeah. She's on antidepressants, three of them.
17:56
Drew
All right. Well, that will shut her down pretty good.
17:58
Adam
She's on three of them?
17:59
Drew
Yeah. You got to talk to her doctor about this. That is not really an acceptable state to be in. It can really affect your relationship, man.
18:06
Caller
You mean the once a month?
18:07
Drew
Yeah, that's not... Oh, God.
18:08
Bad Religion
I'm blessed with once a month.
18:10
Caller
Nowadays, it used to be once every three. All right.
18:12
Adam
Well, you talk to the doctor. I agree with Drew. Tell him you're going to need some rofies. Yeah.
18:18
Drew
No, again, the medication really can shut women down terribly. They'll describe feeling sexless, like there's no sexual route. Sex doesn't even make sense to them, sort of an uncomfortable nuisance. And that's the biology they get in. It's more so than what women feel around you.
18:31
Adam
I know. It's more just out and out fear.
18:33
Bad Religion
It's like tying a shoe.
18:35
Bad Religion
Is she on the antidepressants because of a postpartum depression?
18:39
Caller
Just depression. She's pretty much been depressed all her life. And I didn't know that when I first got with her because she was like smoking so much pot. She was always happy.
18:46
Adam
Right.
18:47
Caller
And then when she quit smoking pot and had the kid.
18:49
Adam
This is why you don't get pregnant at 17 and, you know, get married at 20, though, right?
18:54
Caller
Well, she's 25.
18:55
Caller
Oh, wow.
18:57
Caller
She was 21 when I got with her.
18:59
Adam
I see. And you were you were 17, 18?
19:03
Caller
Wow.
19:04
Adam
That sounds like good times.
19:07
Caller
Yeah. Yeah.
19:07
Adam
She been through a lot in her life?
19:09
Caller
Yeah, a whole lot.
19:10
Adam
She been through a whole lot?
19:11
Bad Religion
Yeah.
19:13
Adam
This is this going to be this going to be some work here, James. You know what I'm saying?
19:18
Drew
But you signed on for active duty. You got a kid, you got a wife now. Yeah. This project is yours.
19:24
Bad Religion
Yeah. Yeah.
19:25
Adam
These I don't know how to convey it to the guys when they hook up with these. And I don't want to say that women who've been through a lot don't need to be loved and don't need relationships. But having the kids and getting married before the work has been done is is is is a trap that a lot of guys fall into. And it's 17, 18, 19. I mean, you're so ill prepared to deal with this. You've got somebody who's being an alcoholic dad, gave him a little abuse. They're kind of spinning around. They got depression problems and maybe some chemical imbalance. You pop out a couple of kids and get hooked up with them and then realize three years into the gig, hey, this person is it needs some serious work. Yeah, Drew? Yeah? We get paid the same? Yeah. Okay, thanks buddy.
20:17
Drew
What, I have a seizure or something?
20:19
Adam
You think your good looks is pulling us through radio? You just sit there like a ham?
20:23
Drew
Again, you were off on a jag and here's what I heard.
20:28
Adam
So let me tell you about high school football, Drew. All Central Valley.
20:32
First team, offense and defense. Let me tell you, there's no parade for the Corolla boy when he came off that sideline. But I played everything with the specialty team.
20:43
Drew
Did your parents show up for any games?
20:44
Not one. Not one game did they show up to.
20:47
Adam
And I'll tell you what, I still hate my dad for it, but at least that son of a bitch Alexis, you know why, because he's so pathetic.
20:53
He's so pathetic, Drew.
20:55
Adam
If only someone had paid attention. Are you listening?
20:58
Caller
Huh?
21:00
Adam
There was a little reenactment of us on a plane.
21:02
Drew
Oh yeah.
21:03
Adam
Drew trying to study for his re-ups on his medical boards, me with a couple of high balls in me going off on a tangent.
21:11
Drew
The part that you don't get that you can't really recreate here is that tirade going, I'm checked out, all of a sudden there's silence. It just all of a sudden stops. I become aware that the tone has changed. I look over and he'll have the lovey shades on, the glideshades over his eyes, feet up, out, tongue hanging out, take on.
21:30
Adam
That's when the ambient kicks in and mixes with the Bloody Marys. But don't worry, I'm just recharging the batteries, Drew. I'll be back. Amber?
21:39
Yeah.
21:40
Adam
You're 17?
21:41
Caller
Yes.
21:41
Adam
On with Bad Religion?
21:43
Caller
Oh, yeah. I want to know what's up with no one giving my Bad Religion props. They're just calling for their own problems.
21:49
Bad Religion
Thank you so much. It's good to know somebody is actually thinking out there.
21:53
Adam
They're very selfish, our callers.
21:55
Bad Religion
They're all putting their hands in their air like they just don't care.
21:58
Bad Religion
We can't give back if people don't give to us.
22:02
Caller
I love you guys so hard.
22:05
Bad Religion
Thank you so much.
22:06
Caller
Yeah. So yeah, I have a question for Brett.
22:09
Bad Religion
Okay.
22:09
Bad Religion
Okay.
22:10
Caller
Okay, Brett. So how were you able to stay productive, like in your drug days and stuff like that? And like, you know how some people like shut off to the world and some people can like just be like enlightened and stuff?
22:24
Bad Religion
I was never productive during my drug days. My productive years always were in between when I was clean. And I'm just not one of those people who are productive or creative when they take drugs.
22:39
Bad Religion
In fact, we would go a long time without even seeing Brett when he would basically go away for a number of years without really even keeping in contact.
22:49
Drew
I'm not sure I've actually met that person that is actually genuinely more productive or more creative when they're on drugs.
22:54
Bad Religion
Yeah. It may be a myth, but you know, I mean, we've all heard about the Jimi Hendrix and the Miles Davis who are quite creative on, you know, with their drug. But I'll tell you, during my period of using narcotics, I was very, very unproductive.
23:11
Drew
Can we get high?
23:13
Adam
What's that?
23:14
Caller
Even like with acid and stuff?
23:17
Bad Religion
Yeah. Even, you know, even before I crossed the line into addiction, whatever that means. But I think that, you know, there is a point when that happens. And I, it never really, you know, opened a door to creativity for me. I'm not saying that that doesn't happen for some people, but not for me. My experience is that my periods, when I've been clean and focused, I've been much more creative and productive.
23:44
Adam
Hey, Amber, you ask like you're asking for a reason.
23:48
Caller
Oh, yeah, cause, you know, I do, I dabble.
23:51
Adam
That's what I figure.
23:52
Caller
So yeah, I just want to know if like me being smart, you know, on the drugs would last or whatever.
23:58
Bad Religion
You get to be smart. Not quite smart.
24:01
Drew
There's tons of studies that show that people feel like they're smarter, believe they're more creative. And yet, when they ask people then to reassess what they've created off the drugs, they think it's crap, basically.
24:15
Adam
Yeah, yeah, it's, I've been the same way. You write stuff down, it's ridiculous.
24:21
Caller
Like that loss of inhibition, like, lets you like, like flow with your ideas.
24:26
Drew
Yeah, but you're on drugs.
24:27
Adam
Yeah, but this is like saying you're a better fighter when you're drunk. You're not more coordinated, you're not stronger, your reflex is better.
24:35
Drew
You're less inhibited.
24:36
Adam
You're less, yeah, a guy can hit you with a table leg and it's not gonna do as much damage because you're loaded and you're numb, but it doesn't make you into like a more skilled fighter. It just makes you more apt to fight and more accepting of it.
24:49
Bad Religion
Yeah, you know, I think drugs can often be a social lubricant, you know, but it's not, you know, creating is something that takes, takes focus. It's a different, it's a different thing.
25:00
Drew
Don't encourage Adam with that social lubricant, Tosh.
25:02
Adam
Yeah. That would, that social lubricant is something I probably would have invented when I was high on mushrooms.
25:09
Bad Religion
Sorry about that.
25:10
Adam
When I get high on mushrooms, I would stare at the TV and I would see a lead press on nail commercial and I'd go, these chicks take long pieces of red plastic, man, like where their claws are and they stick them on to make them longer and to attract the males of their species and then the next commercial would be a monster truck commercial and they'd show the crowd going nuts and they'd be like, bigger trucks smashing smaller cars and the crowd goes wild, man, where are we living?
25:46
Bad Religion
And the hours rolled by and the days went by and you went, oh, I gotta get out of here.
25:50
Adam
Yeah.
25:53
Bad Religion
Hallucinogenics do tend to make things seem profound.
25:55
Adam
They, they, they do, yeah. You start calling, like, you stop, like, you stop calling your buddies rain, you start calling them evil presence.
26:03
Drew
Angel of Death.
26:04
Adam
You are an evil presence, dude. I cannot handle this. The worst is when you have some obnoxious, but when you start mixing drugs, like, you're getting really groovy on the mushrooms and some friend shows up all coked up. And he's, like, spazzing out and you're, like, whoa. Well, you know, there's a sharp contrast between the highs. That will not, that will not do. That will bum the high out.
26:25
Evil pot-smoking hand jobber.
26:27
Adam
Who is that?
26:28
Bad Religion
Who is that guy?
26:30
Adam
Oh, Jimmy's chicken shed.
26:33
Caller
It's blowing my throat.
26:38
Adam
Hello? Marie?
26:39
Yes?
26:40
Adam
You're 25?
26:41
Caller
Yes, I am.
26:42
Adam
What's up?
26:43
Caller
I work in a restaurant. I'm a bartender.
26:45
Adam
All right.
26:46
Caller
My problem is that I work with a bartender on a weekly basis, whose roommate raped me two years ago. Now, he's stealing and I want to say something.
26:57
Drew
Why don't you?
26:59
Caller
I'm afraid of what his roommate has told him, of what is going to happen. His roommate also works for the company.
27:05
Adam
The bartender stealing?
27:06
Caller
Yes.
27:06
Adam
Who's not the guy who raped you?
27:08
Caller
No, his roommate.
27:09
Adam
But his roommate.
27:10
Drew
Did you get the guy who raped you?
27:11
Caller
What do you mean, did I get him?
27:13
Drew
Did you press charges?
27:14
Caller
No, I didn't.
27:15
Drew
How come?
27:17
Bad Religion
And how come?
27:19
Caller
I guess I was afraid. I mean, I stole him.
27:22
Adam
Oh, okay. And the guy who's the bartender who's stealing, what kind of relationship do you have with him?
27:29
Caller
I mean, we're semi-friends. I mean.
27:32
Drew
So why, if you're just, just as Playdevil's advocate, the bartender is sort of some guy who works there. You just happen to observe him stealing. You don't have a great affection for where you work.
27:43
Caller
Right.
27:44
Drew
You're afraid of his roommate. Why are you contemplating reporting him?
27:48
Caller
Because I don't want to get in trouble. How would you? I work with him on the same shift.
27:53
Adam
Oh, so the register would come up short?
27:56
Caller
Yeah, or something. I mean, he's not, well, yeah.
27:58
Drew
Has it?
28:00
Caller
Not in the past, but it's not necessarily stealing money. I mean, stealing other things as well.
28:04
Drew
So no one would know.
28:05
Adam
What's he stealing? Glosses, posters, whistle sticks, things like that.
28:09
How would he do big enough volume?
28:10
Drew
How do you know?
28:11
Bad Religion
Packets of sugar?
28:13
Caller
I'm talking about liquor and beer.
28:14
Drew
How would anyone know that you know?
28:17
Caller
Because I'm working with him behind the bar, which is very small.
28:20
Adam
Okay. And aren't bartenders supposed to steal, by the way?
28:24
Bad Religion
I thought that was the rule that you sign on. Like you get some amount of free stuff.
28:29
Caller
But the place I work at is backwards and it's very corporate.
28:32
Bad Religion
I want to know why you're friendly with a guy who's roommates with a guy who raped you.
28:37
Caller
I don't know. I can't understand.
28:39
Bad Religion
That seems like a red flag for me.
28:42
Drew
As well that, combined with the fact that she didn't go after this guy.
28:45
Caller
Well, I was friendly with him before.
28:46
Drew
But it suggests that victim is a role you're familiar with and people close to you have victimized you.
28:52
Caller
Yeah.
28:52
Drew
So what happened?
28:54
Caller
I'm not sure. I don't know.
28:55
Adam
What happened before though, like, you know, with your family?
28:59
Caller
With my family?
29:00
Adam
Yeah. I mean, were you ever victimized earlier?
29:02
Caller
Not, not per se. Like, I was never, like, you know, molested or raped or anything.
29:06
Drew
No one ever, no one ever hit you?
29:07
Caller
I haven't, no. I mean, I didn't have a great family. Like, you know, my brother was a drug addict.
29:11
Drew
And did he ever do anything?
29:12
Caller
My mom tried to kill herself. But other than that, like, I mean, not me personally, I haven't been victimized.
29:18
Drew
No one ever, no one ever raised a hand to you growing up?
29:20
Caller
No.
29:21
Adam
And does this bartender guy who's stealing know that his roommate did this to you?
29:27
Caller
I mean, I haven't told him. I don't, what I'm worried about is what his roommate told him. You know, he probably told him, I don't know, the way he is, I think he probably told the bartender they work with it. I'm a whore and I slept with him.
29:39
Adam
All right. Well, I sort of agree with, I think it's Greg who said, I don't know, what's in. I mean, if you're not going to press charges against this guy, I would just kind of turn my head the other way. I mean, why dig this whole thing up?
29:56
Drew
I'm really concerned though about her judgment with whom she is close with, why she is so easily victimized and plays that role so well.
30:04
Adam
Well, what happened with the rape? Was this a date rape?
30:07
Caller
No, well, I was hanging out. I mean, I work in a restaurant. I was in Bumble Artender. We all went out after work. We drank a lot. And I ended up back at my friend's apartment. I didn't even really know his roommate that well. And, you know, everyone went to sleep and I sort of passed out. And when I woke up, I mean, he was raping me.
30:25
Adam
And what did you do?
30:26
Caller
I told him to stop. I told him I didn't want him to, you know, and he basically held me down and raped me.
30:34
Adam
And could you scream? I mean, were you just too loaded?
30:37
Caller
Yeah, I was really drunk.
30:39
Drew
There were other people there, right?
30:40
Caller
There were only him and his roommate at that point and everyone else had gone home.
30:44
Adam
All right. I don't know. Like, I want to tell everyone, just bring everyone to justice. But on the other hand, I know it's kind of like unrealistic. Is there any part of you that wants to file this with the police?
30:55
Caller
I mean, now it's been so long. I'm really just, I don't think. I'm afraid of what everyone else would say because I don't think. I mean, I think it's really going to be perceived as the fact that I was really drunk and, oh, big deal.
31:08
Drew
Well, you're not going to get this guy this far out. There's no way. But you might be able to establish a pattern. So if someone else does step up.
31:15
Caller
Right.
31:16
Adam
Especially if there's already something on this guy's record of these kind of complaints.
31:20
Drew
That's the point. And it also breaks this pattern that you seem to have of being a victim. Right.
31:26
Caller
I think I've actually done a pretty good job of changing that by now.
31:28
Adam
Yeah, but you know, you sound, I mean, maybe with the victimization stuff, but you sound angry. And like, how, you know, I don't think you're that concerned about this guy stealing, but it sounds like you sound angry.
31:41
Caller
That's what I'm wondering. I'm wondering if I'm only concerned about him stealing.
31:44
Adam
No, I don't think...
31:45
Caller
Because his roommate raped me, you know?
31:46
Adam
I think you're pissed off. I think you obviously are, because this guy's walking with, you know, 46 bucks every night. And who gives a rat's ass? You're getting people loaded and they're driving off the road for a living. So what do you care? You know what I mean? I mean, yeah, there's not that much. I mean, look, I wish I was a bartender back when, but there's not much nobility in it. Everyone steals and that's the name of the game. So focus, I mean, take some of that anger that you have toward this guy who's stealing and focus it toward the guy who really did the damage. And I say it would be a cathartic experience to go in and just report this. And then somewhere. Just go in and talk to somebody, ask them something. Look, it just happened a year ago. Here's what happened. What do you think? Can I file a complaint? What should I do?
32:27
Drew
Got to be some earlier trauma. Got to be.
32:30
Adam
All right. Well, you know how you know, by the way, and I know it sounds like we're piling on sometimes because stuff happens to people. Now, instead of focusing on the a-hole who did it, we start focusing on them and why it happened. But we know there's something going on because when people that grow up in a good environment and are healthy and strong emotionally, when someone jumps on them, they just start screaming bloody murder.
32:57
Drew
They rip their nuts off.
32:58
Adam
Well, you're drunk and you're passed out or whatever, but you don't freeze up. The victims freeze up, and that's what makes them victims, and that's what happened to them years ago.
33:09
Drew
And then they don't do anything afterwards.
33:11
Adam
And they don't do anything afterwards.
33:13
Bad Religion
And now she's mad at his roommate because he's taken 46 cents worth of liquor every night.
33:17
Adam
Right. She should report this. I'm sorry for what happened, but focus on the real crime here, not the focus on the felony, not the misdemeanor. Oh, okay, that's good, right?
33:29
Bad Religion
Beautiful.
33:30
Adam
Yeah, thanks, guys.
33:30
Bad Religion
I was gonna say that. Thanks.
33:32
Adam
I often have to coax that out of people in the room. Bad Religion here. Oh, we're gonna hear something off the new CD, right?
33:39
Bad Religion
Thank you. Thanks for the being a gallery up there. It's great you guys got a live audience now.
33:44
Adam
When we come back.
33:46
Bad Religion
Thank you again.
34:18
Adam
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Bad Religion is our guest tonight.
34:26
Bad Religion
It's great to be back.
34:27
Adam
It's great to have you guys back.
34:29
Bad Religion
Did I already mention that? I said that.
34:30
Adam
The Process of Belief is the name of the new CD. It is out January 22nd. So not just yet, but be waiting. Brett and Greg and Jay are all here from the band. We're gonna hear something off the new CD in just a moment. I think what we'll do is we'll take a call and then play a song. 311 is in here tomorrow night and then Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kitas is going to be in here next week. So that ought to be interesting. And let's get to the phones and speak to Mike, who's 25. Mike.
35:09
Bad Religion
Hey guys.
35:10
Bad Religion
Hey Mike.
35:11
Bad Religion
Let me first say hey Adam, Drew, you guys are great. I've followed you through four states now.
35:16
Bad Religion
Huh?
35:17
Bad Religion
I've called numerous times.
35:19
Bad Religion
Wow.
35:19
Adam
Thanks. What were those four states? Out of curiosity.
35:23
Bad Religion
Minnesota, New Mexico, Texas, and now Colorado.
35:28
Bad Religion
Wow.
35:28
Bad Religion
Texas and Colorado. I get you guys on a 23-hour delay, but I used to when I had a radio.
35:37
Adam
You had a radio?
35:38
Bad Religion
Well, I had a radio and unfortunately it got taken away.
35:44
Adam
Taken away?
35:46
Drew
Who would take a guy's radio?
35:48
Bad Religion
That was brutal.
35:48
Bad Religion
Who would do that to a guy?
35:50
Bad Religion
In this day and age. Come on.
35:52
Bad Religion
That was one of my exes.
35:54
Bad Religion
Oh, that'll do it. Now I understand.
35:56
Bad Religion
They sell more of them. They're available for purchase.
36:00
Adam
There's a place. It's got the name Radio Shack.
36:03
Drew
Write in the name.
36:03
Bad Religion
Write in the name.
36:04
Adam
Write in the name.
36:04
Bad Religion
You can't miss it. It's a Tandy corporation.
36:06
Bad Religion
That'd be nice if I had money to go buy a radio.
36:08
Adam
Right. No.
36:09
Drew
You must have lots of trouble with relationships, Mike. One of your exes rips you off and you're still calling about another one tonight and you've called Loveline multiple times. It's a bad sign.
36:19
Bad Religion
I listen to you guys all the time and you always give good advice.
36:22
Drew
What's going on?
36:24
Bad Religion
Well, lay down the base story. I was dating a girl for three years. We moved from Texas to Colorado to go to truck driving school together. We met this individual, this other girl up here. My girlfriend was a bi-curious and we got into the relationship with the other girl. We had a live-in threesome going.
36:46
Drew
Those always work out.
36:50
Adam
Same thing with me in truck driving school.
36:53
Drew
What did you say, Mike?
36:54
Adam
Yours didn't work though, right?
36:56
Bad Religion
Well, no.
36:57
Drew
But they always do.
36:58
Adam
Well, but listen, Ray. I mean, I was just yelling at my buddy Ray. That's why. Drew, you condemn not only truckers, but people who live. You don't like truckers.
37:11
Drew
I condemn people that think that.
37:13
Adam
You want your good ship cross-country, but you don't want to know how it got there. That's what I'm saying about you. But here's the deal. Do you think it's the people who are living in these threesome relationships or is it the threesome relationship?
37:27
Drew
It's both.
37:28
Adam
I would contend that if me and you and any member of Bad Religion decided to really get together and have a good threesome relationship, we could pull it off.
37:37
Bad Religion
Yeah, but for only one night.
37:39
Drew
No way.
37:39
Adam
That's what I'm saying.
37:39
Bad Religion
And then it's over. You can't continue it. It's not an ongoing thing.
37:43
Adam
Well, it...
37:45
Bad Religion
You want to hear my slant on this? You see, the problem is that most people who invite a partner into bed with them do it to fix their relationship, and they do it when their relationship is on the rocks, thinking, oh, this will add some spice. That's exactly the wrong time to do it.
37:59
Adam
And they're chaotic people in the first place.
38:01
Bad Religion
It's only those with the strongest possible relationship that can...
38:05
Adam
That can withstand this.
38:06
Bad Religion
That can withstand something like that.
38:07
Adam
That's why we need to do this.
38:09
Bad Religion
Not, you know, a couple going to trucking school together. Without a radio.
38:12
Bad Religion
Well, we thought that we were good.
38:15
Drew
That's another problem. Each one thinks we're the ones. And the fact that they want the threesome sort of suggests they're not. It's circular.
38:24
Bad Religion
Well, we were all in love with each other.
38:27
Drew
Very much in love.
38:28
Bad Religion
Oh, yes. I've never heard that one before. I have.
38:30
Drew
They always work out.
38:31
Adam
All right. So, well, listen, listen, Drew, come down over there. So, you had your threesome...
38:35
Drew
I wanted to find my righteous indignation again. Can we give you a break?
38:38
Adam
I know. But now you got to lose it because it's bothering me.
38:40
Bad Religion
Can we hear some of the lascivious details?
38:42
Bad Religion
Yeah, what happened?
38:44
Bad Religion
I'll send you the videotapes.
38:45
Bad Religion
No, we don't need to see it. Just tell us.
38:48
Adam
Well, I'll close your eyes and picture a couple of gals in trucking school.
38:52
Bad Religion
I'm thinking cut-off shorts.
38:53
Bad Religion
With a guy with no radio.
38:55
Bad Religion
Merle Haggard tank top.
38:57
Adam
I'm picturing, like, a fishing hat fashioned out of bud cans.
39:04
Bad Religion
I'm thinking a mechanical bull.
39:06
Adam
And when she gets angry, she starts reaching for a tobacco to throw it at you.
39:10
Bad Religion
You guys, not all truckers are like that, okay?
39:12
Adam
No, that's true.
39:13
Bad Religion
Knock it off.
39:15
Bad Religion
No, no, no. The one girl was one of the, she worked for the truck driving school and we met her there.
39:20
Adam
See?
39:21
Bad Religion
Was she a lot lizard?
39:22
Bad Religion
No, she was actually very beautiful.
39:25
Bad Religion
She was a teacher.
39:27
Bad Religion
Well, not really. She set up the pilot. I started to feel that I was losing both of them to each other.
39:35
Bad Religion
Right, right.
39:36
Bad Religion
And I got frustrated and I have one of those anger problems and I hit a wall, broke my finger.
39:42
Bad Religion
Right.
39:44
Bad Religion
And then... This always worked out. Well, because I was always taught never to hit a woman.
39:50
Adam
Right.
39:51
Bad Religion
Smart move. I didn't hit my fiancé at the time. I turned around and hit the wall.
39:55
Adam
Right.
39:56
Bad Religion
Not a good idea.
39:57
Adam
Right. Broke your finger and that was the one you used to activate the turn indicator. So you were thrown out of truck school.
40:04
Bad Religion
And got oil spotted by the two girls because it was all over and they left you behind.
40:08
Adam
Fast forward, radio gone, hand in a cast, on the doll.
40:11
Bad Religion
They moved out to the one sister's place and a week later after I broke my hand, my fiancé, who I just asked to marry me, you know.
40:23
Adam
All right. Mike, let me just jump in here for a second. Do you have any kids?
40:29
Bad Religion
No.
40:30
Adam
Good. Good. Okay. Here's what I want to say about you, Mike.
40:32
Bad Religion
There was a kid involved, though.
40:33
Adam
Okay. But not, not, not of your loins? No. Okay. Fine. So here's what I think we can all agree on this, Mike. You're 25 years old. You have no kids. You're not married to any of these crazy hillbillies. You have and it sounds like an intelligent guy who sort of, there's something sort of articulate or interesting about Mike for a guy. Look, put it this way.
40:59
Bad Religion
Well, he's called you four times. He's very interested in helping himself.
41:03
Adam
Well, but what I'm saying is, if you read Mike's resume, you would expect a different sounding guy.
41:09
Bad Religion
Yeah.
41:10
Adam
You know what I mean? Like one of the guys who played the banjo from Deliverance or something like that.
41:14
Bad Religion
Mike is interested in self-improvement.
41:16
Adam
Mike truly is. Mike, you got a good mind and you're not strung out on drugs. We don't think. Right?
41:22
Bad Religion
Really?
41:23
Adam
Not really?
41:24
Bad Religion
I use pot every now and then.
41:25
Adam
Okay. But you're not strung out on a substance per se. You don't have a bunch of illegitimate kids. You don't have a bunch of axes. You don't owe anyone money. You're not wanted by the police. Right? No. Okay. It's time for you to sort of focus a little bit here. Stop getting caught up with these chaotic women. Stop living in the past. Do something about the anger. Find your niche in life. Think about what you want to do. Your mind works fine. Once you go to school, study for something, get a career and move ahead in life.
41:51
Bad Religion
You sound like my fiancée.
41:53
Adam
Oh, you got one now? Or is this the old one?
41:55
Bad Religion
I let the ex-fans.
41:56
Adam
Listen, screw her. She's in the past. You got a lot of anger in you. She's with the instructor.
42:03
Bad Religion
My question was, I'm stuck here a thousand miles away from my family and I'm not a suicidal person, but occasionally that handful of time I'll be in kind of looks good.
42:17
Drew
Adam, will you not tell people they sound good ever again, please?
42:20
Adam
Sorry.
42:21
Drew
You really are pissing me off.
42:23
Caller
All right.
42:24
Adam
No, he sounds like his mind works okay.
42:27
Bad Religion
Until that last statement, I agreed with you.
42:30
Bad Religion
Well, this was, I mean, three-year relationship, everything I've known, everything I've lived for.
42:35
Drew
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
42:36
Caller
He's depressed.
42:37
Drew
Yeah, of course.
42:38
Adam
These two were nut jobs, Mike. You're not that stupid. I don't think you're that stupid. I just think you're depressed and you got to do something about that.
42:46
Bad Religion
Well, that's because I have a decent job here in Colorado, but my thought, and I have this problem that I run away from my problems, my thought is that maybe I should just kind of vanish off the face of the earth for a while.
43:04
Drew
That is a thought that comes from profound biological disturbance of your brain. We call that depression. And the quality of that thought is a sort of expression of how bad that situation is, how much you're affected by your depression, by your biology. So let's go get that taken care of.
43:21
Adam
Give me somewhere to call or something. Maybe you should get off the pot.
43:24
Drew
Give me the resource book.
43:26
Adam
Does this mean I got to move?
43:27
Drew
Yeah.
43:28
Adam
Can he, can he, why don't you talk to him during the break? We'll play a Bad Religion song. Okay, let's do that.
43:34
Drew
You still have to lean forward.
43:35
Adam
I know, but let me just throw it to the song and then I'll get the thing. Oh, you want to go to break, Anderson? Yeah, we can't squeeze a Bad Religion song. Let's just play like the first ten seconds of the song and we'll fade out and go to break. That works. Yeah, that's good.
43:48
Caller
All right, let's try it.
43:49
Bad Religion
Thank you very much.
43:50
Adam
That was great. Can we hear? All right, we're past break.
43:54
Bad Religion
Make sure you don't lose the guy on the phone. I'm a little more worried about him than the Bad Religion song.
43:59
Adam
Good angle, good angle. That's going to move some product. We'll take ourselves a little break. We'll be back with the concerned Bad Religion after this. Hey, everybody, Loveline. Bad Religion in here tonight, 311 in here tomorrow night. Greg and Brett and Jay are all here from the band. We're going to hear something off the new CD. I think we should just hear it now, right?
45:05
Drew
Yeah, you can keep rambling and we'll miss this hour.
45:08
Adam
Thank you. It's a possibility. The Process of Belief is the name of the new CD, out the 22nd of January, and this one is called Sorrow. Love that Bad Religion.
48:31
Bad Religion
Thank you, guys.
48:32
Adam
That was a great song.
48:33
Bad Religion
You guys are too kind.
48:34
Adam
Really enjoyed that.
48:35
Bad Religion
We're steeped in old timey.
48:37
Adam
Yeah, that was real nice. Nice guitar work there, Brad. That was you playing.
48:42
Bad Religion
That was me.
48:43
Adam
Fantastic. You know what I like about that song? Never heard it before, enjoyed the hell out of it first time around.
48:48
Bad Religion
Thank you, sir.
48:49
Adam
Hard to say that about a lot of songs.
48:50
Bad Religion
You have discriminating taste.
48:52
Bad Religion
I can see you are a man of taste.
48:54
Adam
Yeah, that was nice. Bad Religion, everybody. The Process of Belief is the name of the CD out on the 22nd of January and I am going to see them at the Acoustic Christmas on Saturday and be real happy. How many songs do you think you will do?
49:10
Bad Religion
In a half an hour?
49:14
Adam
So old and new and everything in between?
49:17
Bad Religion
Yeah, we will be playing that one and we will be playing some of the old favorites.
49:21
Bad Religion
We just want to basically let everybody know that the record is coming out and thank K-Rock too. They are playing the damn thing. Can you believe it?
49:30
Adam
Yeah, well they should. I will be real happy to see you guys Saturday night. David?
49:35
Caller
Hi.
49:36
Adam
You are 16?
49:37
Caller
Yes, this is I am.
49:38
Adam
What's up?
49:39
Caller
I just wanted to say hi to Bad Religion. You guys are absolutely my favorite band in the whole world.
49:44
Bad Religion
Thanks a lot. Thanks for calling.
49:46
Caller
Yeah, Greg, you are just absolutely brilliant, like comparable to John Lennon or Jimmy.
49:52
Drew
Nice.
49:52
Bad Religion
Well, thank you very much.
49:54
Drew
That's how he thinks of himself, interestingly.
49:57
Bad Religion
I was just bragging about that when we were at break. You did?
49:59
Drew
You mentioned it.
50:00
Caller
Yeah.
50:01
Adam
He called himself John Hendricks, actually.
50:04
Caller
Brett is just awesome too. Thanks for getting back together.
50:08
Bad Religion
Yeah, we are happy too.
50:09
Caller
I wanted to ask you guys like two questions. What do you guys feel about what's going on in Afghanistan right now? What the United States is doing?
50:18
Bad Religion
Is that number one?
50:19
Caller
Yeah. The other one was just could you explain the song Seize? I just think it's amazing.
50:25
Bad Religion
All right. Well, luckily we just got back from a promo tour of Europe where we were asked this question virtually every day for a week. We've been kind of silent on the issue because it's a pretty serious topic to talk about. And we are a band. We're not political leaders. But we do sing a lot about social issues. And basically, we are not pro-war. We don't believe in war. We suggest that you avoid war at all costs.
51:02
Drew
I'm against it.
51:03
Bad Religion
Dropping bombs on people is not what we're all about.
51:08
Adam
However, to be fair to us, we do kill a lot of our own people with the bombs.
51:15
Bad Religion
And it's also hard to say. It's really, you know, the thing is so fresh and new. And we get so little information from over there. You know, we hear the same news every day. We pounded Kabul. You know, one thing I think that we can say with certainty from the stance of bad religion is that as a result of this war on terrorism, that many of our civil liberties may be in danger. And I think it's important for young people in bands and watchdog organizations to make sure that our civil liberties are protected in this time of crisis.
51:51
Adam
The thing that happens to me with these in the time of wars, I start incorporating some of the language into my everyday conversation. Like I got a stronghold, which is my garage, you know, and you just, these things like stronghold, you know, the Taliban stronghold, you just hear about it every day. And you hear about the theater and you hear about sorties.
52:14
Bad Religion
And your opposition, Bunker Busters.
52:16
Adam
Right.
52:17
Bad Religion
Your roommate becomes your opposition.
52:18
Adam
Right, right. And you go, I'm going to do a sortie down to the Circle K. You guys need anything?
52:24
Caller
You just start like working, working in the lingo.
52:26
Adam
That's really my favorite part.
52:28
Bad Religion
That's true.
52:28
Adam
David?
52:29
Caller
Yeah.
52:29
Adam
So that's an important part of what's going on over there. Do you have a second question for the guys?
52:34
Caller
Yeah. Just for Greg, on The Gray Race, you write a Cs. I just think it's an absolutely fantastic song. I spent literally hours not doing my homework, analyzing that song. And I just want to know what you think, what you're trying to convey.
52:54
Bad Religion
Well, that song, it's an interesting contrast because it seems to be almost nihilistic in saying everything must cease. But somewhere in that seemingly negative statement, it's surrounded by a bunch of hopeful elements. Because basically I believe that even though we live in a closed universe and we live in a place that I don't believe in spirituality in the sense that it's projected to us from some higher deity, I don't think that's meaningless or hopeless. I think in fact it gives us the option to look for meaning in the world we have here.
53:36
Drew
That's what I like about Greg and Bad Religion. If any other band gets asked that question, it's whatever you think means to you.
53:40
Adam
Whatever it means to you, man. I don't know. I was pretty jacked when I wrote it.
53:45
Bad Religion
Well, it still comes down to interpretation. The best thing about music in general is that the listeners get to interpret it the way they want.
53:55
Adam
Yeah. If you think about it, it wasn't them who broke up with this girl that you're writing about. It wasn't them who got fired from this job or had their dad kick off or something. So why not just take whatever the energy of the song is and translate it into whatever their life is? Yeah.
54:12
Drew
But at least Greg has some meaning in this song. You know what I'm saying?
54:15
Adam
Yeah.
54:15
Drew
Why not the people writing it also have something that they put into it of their own?
54:19
Adam
Right. Like what I did with, I remember Ferre Jacques all those years ago. I turned it into my own family structure. Pain and work that, twisted that around.
54:28
Drew
Sure, Le Pont d'Avignon was yours too.
54:31
Adam
Had no idea it was about a French cook. What the hell is that? What's that song about? We'll be right back. Vive la France. We'll take ourselves a little break. Bad Religion is our guest tonight and we'll be back with them after this.
54:49
Bad Religion
Alright guys, here's the deal.
54:51
Bad Religion
Looking to hook up?
54:52
Caller
Call the Dateline.
54:53
Bad Religion
Sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
54:54
Caller
Call the Dateline.
54:55
Caller
One call is all you need to make. 1-877-889 DATE You know what I'm saying, I'm there.
55:04
Caller
Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back on Loveline.
55:49
Adam
Hey, folks, Loveline. I'm Adam. That is Dr. Drew over there. Brett, Greg, and Jay are all here from Bad Religion. Process of Belief is the name of the CD, out on the 22nd of January, and we'll hear another cut off of that CD sometime in this 11 o'clock hour, 311 in here tomorrow night. And is 311 playing the Acoustic Christmas too? Yes. Sort of makes sense.
56:17
Bad Religion
They're not playing the same night as us.
56:19
Adam
Oh, they're playing Sunday night.
56:20
Bad Religion
They're playing the second night.
56:21
Adam
Well, they're a good band to see live too.
56:22
Caller
Not a bunch of good guys.
56:24
Adam
Yeah, good guys. So we'll look forward to them Sunday night. All right. Let's take some calls and start off with Andrew who's 15. Andrew.
56:32
Bad Religion
Hey, what's going on?
56:33
Adam
Hey.
56:34
Bad Religion
Hey, Andrew. Hi. I have a really strange birth defect. I was born with a third leg. It's not a complete third leg, but it's got like the foot and the toes and everything, and it's sort of coming off from the pelvis, and I was wondering if this could be passed on if I were to have a child.
56:59
Adam
Well, it'll be a different leg.
57:02
Drew
No, he actually wants to pass this leg on to us.
57:04
Adam
That's what I'm saying.
57:07
Bad Religion
It can't be passed on.
57:10
Adam
Wait a second now. How long is this leg?
57:13
Bad Religion
It's like, it's not the size of a normal leg, though.
57:16
Bad Religion
Right.
57:16
Adam
How long is it?
57:17
Bad Religion
It's about the size of my femur.
57:21
Drew
To your knee.
57:21
Adam
It's a pretty good size, though.
57:23
Bad Religion
It's like 18 inches.
57:25
Bad Religion
Yeah. I mean, it's not like a whole entire leg.
57:28
Adam
Oh, I know.
57:29
Bad Religion
Hold on a second. Does it go straight out the side or just down the side?
57:32
Bad Religion
I have hardly any control over it.
57:34
Adam
Yeah. There's no balls hanging under it, is there? Because I know what that is.
57:39
Bad Religion
It's almost like it's not... It's like I can't control it at all.
57:43
Adam
Right.
57:44
Bad Religion
But does it kick out on its own and curl the toes up on its own?
57:47
Bad Religion
Sometimes it'll sort of twitch, but that's about it.
57:50
Drew
Do you feel it?
57:51
Bad Religion
Yeah. Like, I can't...
57:53
Adam
You think it's possessed?
57:54
Bad Religion
I don't have control over it.
57:56
Drew
You can feel it, but you don't have...
57:57
Adam
Hold on a second. Hold on, Drew.
57:59
Drew
Stop it.
57:59
Adam
The band is falling apart here. Well, wait a minute. Wouldn't this thing... If this was a legitimate call, wouldn't this thing be removed at birth?
58:05
Drew
Well, that's why I want to find out why it hasn't been removed.
58:07
Adam
Drew, why aren't you laughing?
58:08
Drew
No, because I'm listening. I'm still taking this in.
58:11
Adam
Doesn't this sound like a bogus call to you?
58:13
Drew
No, it doesn't.
58:13
Caller
No?
58:13
Adam
Have you seen that?
58:14
Bad Religion
You would never call you tripod.
58:16
Drew
You name the defect. It's happened.
58:18
Adam
I know, but this guy is 15 years old. It wasn't born in the 1800s. I mean, this thing would be removed early on. Let's ask.
58:26
Drew
Maybe that's something about the way it's been.
58:27
Adam
Even my cheap parents would have popped for the removal of my third leg.
58:31
Bad Religion
Well, yeah, you have to see it when you're born and grow.
58:33
Adam
Do you have parents? Right. What? Why wasn't this removed?
58:36
Bad Religion
Do you live with your parents? My mother couldn't afford it. She really didn't even have the money for it.
58:43
Drew
How about now?
58:44
Bad Religion
Now she passed away. Well.
58:46
Drew
No, you.
58:47
Adam
How about it? She can't afford the removal, but she can afford three shoes?
58:51
Bad Religion
No, I'm living with my aunt right now.
58:54
Drew
What did she die of?
58:55
Bad Religion
What?
58:56
Drew
What did she die of?
58:57
Bad Religion
What did she drive?
58:58
Drew
Your mom died. What did she die of?
59:00
Bad Religion
Oh, she died of cancer.
59:02
Drew
Okay.
59:02
Bad Religion
She was a smoker.
59:03
Drew
And where's your dad?
59:04
Bad Religion
My dad is in North Idaho.
59:06
Drew
And he's not in your life anymore?
59:08
Bad Religion
No.
59:09
Drew
How come?
59:10
Bad Religion
He moved away when I was really young.
59:12
Drew
How come?
59:14
Bad Religion
I don't know. I guess he said he didn't like the city. Like he's more of like, you know, the country type of person.
59:20
Drew
Yeah, I think I like the beach. I think I'm gonna leave my family behind too.
59:22
Adam
Yeah.
59:23
Bad Religion
You know, he was always, you know, living out in the middle of nowhere.
59:27
Bad Religion
So your main concern is if you can pass this on to the next generation.
59:32
Drew
No, I don't know of any specific genetics.
59:34
Bad Religion
There's no way you can pass this on.
59:35
Drew
Although strangely, do you smoke a lot of pot?
59:37
Bad Religion
No, I don't.
59:39
Bad Religion
No, him.
59:39
Drew
Him and your dad.
59:41
Adam
Oh, you're him.
59:41
Drew
Yeah, him and your dad. Because I've heard of some interesting orthopedic, weird orthopedic birth defects in sons of heavy pot-smoking dads.
59:50
Adam
They smoke a lot of weed, your dad?
59:51
Bad Religion
Did you hear that in Reefer Madness?
59:53
Drew
No, it was reported in a medical journal.
59:54
Bad Religion
Really? It's interesting.
59:56
Bad Religion
But developmental traits like this normally aren't passed on to the next generation.
1:00:01
Drew
This is not a part of a bigger syndrome.
1:00:03
Bad Religion
No, this was some...
1:00:05
Adam
Andrew, you can't smoke weed because you can't get high and look at a third leg. You just go out of your mind. I get high and look at a zit and go insane.
1:00:13
Bad Religion
So Andrew...
1:00:15
Adam
Oh, wait a minute. Where is this thing coming from?
1:00:17
Bad Religion
My pelvis on the left side.
1:00:19
Adam
Pelvis, left side.
1:00:20
Drew
Why don't you have it removed?
1:00:22
Bad Religion
Right now, it's like...
1:00:24
Adam
And get thrown off the soccer team?
1:00:26
Bad Religion
We don't have the money for it.
1:00:27
Drew
Go to the county hospital, LAUSC. You're in Torrance. Go to the county hospital. Or go to the harbor.
1:00:34
Adam
You shouldn't be able to wear pants.
1:00:35
Drew
Yeah, how do you wear clothing?
1:00:37
Bad Religion
My aunt is a really good seamstress, and she's able to make special pants for me.
1:00:44
Adam
And... Okay, wait a minute. We got to compete.
1:00:47
Bad Religion
You should go to Harbor Medical Center or USC.
1:00:49
Bad Religion
Can we just take a vote?
1:00:50
Adam
Just get it.
1:00:51
Bad Religion
We have five guys in here. How many think this is a real call, and how many think this is a fake call?
1:00:55
Caller
It doesn't matter.
1:00:56
Adam
I think it's a bogus call.
1:00:58
Bad Religion
Dr. Drew's the responsible party here.
1:01:00
Adam
I think you can't. But Drew is on board with it. But let's at least agree on this. It can no way be as big as his femur. I mean, because from your knee to your hip, even on a regular size 15-year-old kid, that's 16, 14, 16 inches easily.
1:01:17
Bad Religion
Even as an infant, do you wear a shoe on it? The doctor would have immediately noticed it as when he was born, and it would have been removed, wouldn't it?
1:01:27
Adam
Yes, it would have, and it wouldn't have been about money.
1:01:29
Caller
I mean, that kind of stuff has to come off, period.
1:01:33
Adam
Yeah, absolutely.
1:01:36
Bad Religion
Where were you born?
1:01:37
Bad Religion
Yeah, maybe he was born in another country. Where were you born?
1:01:40
Bad Religion
I was born in Carson.
1:01:42
Adam
That explains it. Riverside, Carson and Bakersfield don't have any procedures.
1:01:49
Bad Religion
I really don't know the whole story behind it.
1:01:51
Drew
Does he seem like somebody, Adam, hang on a second, who's processing, trying to one-up us and thinking, No, no, no. He's telling you what's on his mind.
1:01:59
Adam
I understand that his story is sort of checking out.
1:02:02
Drew
It's just pooms is what it is.
1:02:04
Adam
I can't, Andrew, let me just describe the leg one more time. Is it really?
1:02:11
Drew
How does your hip work?
1:02:13
Bad Religion
My hip is kind of like funny, like it's kind of like sort of lopsided a little bit.
1:02:19
Drew
Is it sort of folded over at one point and then this other leg comes off?
1:02:23
Bad Religion
A little bit, like towards the left a little bit.
1:02:27
Adam
But he was saying the leg had movement in it.
1:02:30
Bad Religion
Andrew, have you resigned yourself to just accept this and you're not going to get it, I mean, do you want to get it fixed or removed? Because it seems the only thing that's on your mind right now, you're 15 years old and you're worried about reproducing. Isn't there a more immediate concern of getting the thing taken care of?
1:02:50
Drew
So there might be an opportunity to pass your jeans on?
1:02:53
Adam
It's going to be hard getting laid with that thing.
1:02:54
Drew
That's what I'm saying, if he wants to pass those jeans along.
1:02:57
Bad Religion
Right. I'm mostly staying at home, I'm homeschooled, everything's done at home.
1:03:02
Drew
Because of this deformity?
1:03:04
Bad Religion
Yeah. I don't know, I just feel so sad.
1:03:06
Bad Religion
Well, then what are you?
1:03:07
Bad Religion
I'm so sad, Andrew. If this is a real call, it's very sad.
1:03:11
Bad Religion
I mean, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
1:03:14
Bad Religion
You're supposed to get it removed.
1:03:15
Bad Religion
I don't even know my options, how am I going to pay for it?
1:03:17
Bad Religion
I will tell you your options.
1:03:19
Adam
Now he's sounding like he is. What about this? I know this sounds radical. How about, instead of removing the leg, we add a third arm. Just to kind of add some symmetry.
1:03:27
Bad Religion
On the other side.
1:03:29
Bad Religion
That is an expensive operation you're talking about.
1:03:32
Adam
Andrew, I just don't believe you.
1:03:34
Bad Religion
The third leg is like, it's...
1:03:36
Adam
Okay, let me just ask a few questions about this third leg. In inches, how long is it?
1:03:42
Bad Religion
Okay, hold on a second. I actually have a ruler, hold on.
1:03:46
Caller
Oh my god.
1:03:48
Adam
When you're home schooled, you got all your equipment right there in the bedroom.
1:03:51
Bad Religion
Compass, ruler.
1:03:53
Adam
There's lockers right there in the entry hall.
1:03:58
Drew
Your aunt's teaching you?
1:04:00
Bad Religion
Eleven and a half inches from the pelvis area to the foot.
1:04:06
Adam
To the toe. And how many toes does it have?
1:04:08
Bad Religion
It has normal. No, wait.
1:04:11
Bad Religion
All right, he's lying.
1:04:12
Caller
You gotta check this out.
1:04:14
Bad Religion
Wait, come on.
1:04:15
Bad Religion
Wait, man.
1:04:15
Bad Religion
You're 15, you've had this thing on your body your entire life and you don't know how many toes are on it?
1:04:20
Bad Religion
Wait, something about toes, what'd you say?
1:04:22
Adam
Oh, how many toes?
1:04:24
Liar whore, liar whore, and you know it.
1:04:27
Adam
How many toes?
1:04:28
Bad Religion
It doesn't have all the amount that my normal foot feeds.
1:04:31
Adam
How many?
1:04:31
Bad Religion
That's four.
1:04:32
Adam
Four.
1:04:33
Drew
How many does your normal feet have?
1:04:34
Bad Religion
Five.
1:04:35
Adam
And how, like if you get a pedicure, a regular price? And so four toes and a heel and an arch and an ankle?
1:04:46
Bad Religion
No, it's really kind of deformed.
1:04:48
Bad Religion
Andrew, can I ask you a question? Do you wear a shoe on it?
1:04:51
Bad Religion
No, I don't.
1:04:52
Adam
No, and can it be tucked down? I mean, can you move it wherever you need to move it?
1:04:58
Bad Religion
No, I have to practically, like, grab it and push it towards my...
1:05:02
Bad Religion
It fights you back? Does it kick you?
1:05:05
Adam
No. But it has movement on its own independent to you?
1:05:08
Bad Religion
Um, a very slight amount. Like, it'll... I can make it go out a little bit, but that's about it.
1:05:14
Adam
So if, like, you were signaling for a turn or something on a moped?
1:05:18
Bad Religion
Yeah, sort of, but not quite.
1:05:20
Bad Religion
That's not possible. Okay.
1:05:22
Bad Religion
This is the thing, Andrew. This is the thing. If you're... If you're pull... If you're pulling our leg, then you deserve to be laughed at, you know? But if it's a real call, then this is very sad, and then I'll feel terrible for laughing.
1:05:37
Bad Religion
All right.
1:05:38
Bad Religion
So I'm really in a quandary here.
1:05:39
Adam
We need to take it as a serious call and say that you must present yourself to a to a university.
1:05:46
Bad Religion
Yeah.
1:05:48
Adam
And they'll take care of it. They'll probably be very interested in it. And you can talk to say so. He's in Torrance.
1:05:56
Drew
Harbor General.
1:05:56
Adam
Go to Harbor General. Just to have your aunt or your mom or whoever drive you down there and let him. But I just I can't believe that Drew, what a doctor, this guy was born in 1986 for Christ's sake. In 1986, is a hospital going to let the guy go home and never follow up with it?
1:06:14
Bad Religion
It's Carson we're talking about.
1:06:16
Adam
That is true. You're right. I forgot about that.
1:06:18
Bad Religion
Carson General.
1:06:19
Adam
That's right. That's right. They still got, there was like some bleeding.
1:06:23
Bad Religion
The large animal clinic is right in the Sherwood facility.
1:06:26
Drew
Hawaiian Gardens is next door. They want to run away to that garden spot.
1:06:30
Adam
Wouldn't you, if you moved from out of state and you just moved to Hawaiian Gardens side unseen, do you think you'd have a legitimate lawsuit against that city? Your Honor, when I read Hawaiian Gardens, I thought I was moving into some sort of tropical utopia and it's nothing but industrial parks and gunfire. I would sue. I think you could sue the planners of the city and make some money. All right, Cody?
1:06:58
Yeah.
1:06:58
Adam
You're 19?
1:06:59
Caller
Yeah. Adam, Drew, you guys are gods. I love you. I listen to you every night for about three years.
1:07:05
Adam
Thank you. How many legs?
1:07:07
Caller
I have two. All righty. Adam, my girlfriend gets jealous about how much me and my guitar player talk about you. We talk about you every day.
1:07:15
Adam
Thanks. What's the name of the band?
1:07:17
Caller
We actually knocked off your name, Sprew, but we're actually coming up with a different name called Mediocre Presidents.
1:07:25
Adam
All right.
1:07:25
Drew
Didn't we have a-
1:07:26
Adam
I like Sprew.
1:07:26
Drew
What was the name we had?
1:07:27
Bad Religion
Sprew's got a ring to it.
1:07:30
Drew
Celiac Sprew would be good.
1:07:32
Adam
Hate Plow is a name I've been tossing around for a band. I think would be a good edgy sounding band.
1:07:37
Bad Religion
That's cool.
1:07:38
Drew
How about Sprew? Sprew Plow.
1:07:39
Caller
We're going to be more punk like Bad Religion.
1:07:42
Bad Religion
How about Aspirin Feast?
1:07:43
Bad Religion
Cool.
1:07:44
Caller
That's a good name. I hadn't thought of that one.
1:07:46
Bad Religion
Particularly good if you're noisy.
1:07:48
Caller
Yeah. All right.
1:07:49
Adam
So you have a question?
1:07:50
Caller
Yeah. Actually, I hate to say it, but I made up my question to talk to Bad Religion.
1:07:54
Adam
Here they are.
1:07:54
Caller
All right. Mr. Brett, you're incredible. Me and my friend Bobby, we talk about you all the time. He thinks you're God.
1:08:01
Bad Religion
Well, I assure you I'm not.
1:08:03
Caller
I hope you aren't.
1:08:03
Bad Religion
He's demigod.
1:08:05
Adam
Yeah.
1:08:06
Caller
In the Flat Earth Society, the chorus, it says, the bright ship humanity is sailing far away.
1:08:13
Bad Religion
Yeah.
1:08:13
Caller
What were you referring to in that?
1:08:15
Bad Religion
I can't remember. It's whatever you mean. Yeah. It was mankind's progress kind of moving forward mindlessly and without deliberation.
1:08:29
Caller
Okay. I just want to know because in one of my songs that I'm writing, I quote that right there and I just wanted to get my bearings straight on that.
1:08:38
Bad Religion
Yeah. It seems like sometimes we indulge in technology for technology sake and progress isn't really progress and that's what it's getting at.
1:08:47
Adam
Like when you get interviewed and people want to know what your mindset was when you're ripping off bad religion, you can tell them.
1:08:52
Caller
Yeah, exactly.
1:08:53
Bad Religion
And you just wanted to clear, basically.
1:08:55
Bad Religion
He said it was okay on the radio, I haven't written.
1:08:58
Caller
Yeah, that and I was also wondering in I Want to Conquer the World where it says, is your fecundity a tremor or a treasure?
1:09:05
Bad Religion
Right.
1:09:06
Caller
Me and my friends looked up fecundity and isn't it the same as fertility?
1:09:10
Bad Religion
Yeah.
1:09:11
Caller
Could you have just used fertility or did you use fecundity for big word sakes?
1:09:15
Bad Religion
I used it because I liked the I like the phonic.
1:09:17
Drew
The narration, yeah.
1:09:19
Bad Religion
I like the phonic quality. It had more of a in it.
1:09:22
Caller
Oh yeah, we think it's great. We think everything you do is great.
1:09:25
Adam
All right guys.
1:09:26
Caller
I just want to say thanks for all the inspiration you've given us.
1:09:29
Bad Religion
Thanks for being so supportive.
1:09:31
Caller
All right.
1:09:31
Adam
Ghost Brew.
1:09:32
Bad Religion
Thanks a lot.
1:09:32
Adam
All right. I want to, we're going to hear another Bad Religion song. Drew, read the box with the song title in it. And what does that mean? Tell him not to hang up after.
1:09:44
Drew
I think he was talking about where we were talking about here.
1:09:47
Bad Religion
Oh, the guy with the leg?
1:09:48
Drew
The guy with the leg, yeah.
1:09:49
Adam
Really? All right. Well, we screwed that because we hung up, right? Okay. We can go back. Well, let's all, let's make a little comeback with some more Bad Religion. What? This song is called The Defense. There you go, Bad Religion.
1:13:55
Thank you, thank you.
1:13:56
Bad Religion
Thank you very much.
1:13:59
Bad Religion
Thank you.
1:14:00
Adam
Brent and Greg headed out to the car to hear the song over the radio, to hear how the compression went.
1:14:05
Bad Religion
Get out of the car.
1:14:06
Bad Religion
Unacceptable.
1:14:07
Adam
How did it sound, guys?
1:14:08
Bad Religion
Pretty good, really good out there.
1:14:09
Bad Religion
Yeah, pretty good, see?
1:14:10
Bad Religion
Well, we got... Pretty good. It's because we got a rental car, and, you know, rent-a-car stereos are not very good.
1:14:15
Adam
Yeah, right.
1:14:16
Bad Religion
But it sounded really great coming off of the K-Rock compressors.
1:14:21
Adam
Yeah, no, a different...
1:14:22
See? See?
1:14:24
Adam
See, I... It sounded great in here, but the band was explaining about compression and how that changes.
1:14:31
Bad Religion
These are killer studio speakers in here. Right. You know, 99% of the people who hear that song are going to be listening on those crappy car stereos, so... The goal, when you're making a record, is to make it sound great on the crappiest speakers you can find.
1:14:45
Adam
Right.
1:14:46
Bad Religion
And if it sounds good on those, it's going to sound great in here.
1:14:48
Drew
Interesting.
1:14:50
Adam
And so, when stuff gets put out over the air, it gets compressed?
1:14:54
Bad Religion
Yeah, they add top and bottom in compressing.
1:14:57
Adam
And is it different for different radio stations?
1:14:59
Bad Religion
Yeah. Definitely. Most of the radio stations, if they're not a class act like K-Rock, they have some schmoe who doesn't even know how to set the compressors to make it sound good. Sorry.
1:15:11
Bad Religion
We're really sorry.
1:15:13
Bad Religion
Wow. No, no.
1:15:14
Bad Religion
That is a professional name. It's a schmoe.
1:15:19
Adam
Oh, schmoe.
1:15:20
Bad Religion
That's what you call the guy who adjusts your compressor.
1:15:23
Drew
Key grip schmoe.
1:15:24
Bad Religion
SMO.
1:15:26
Adam
Oh, I see. I thought it was a derogatory.
1:15:28
Bad Religion
Wait, wait.
1:15:28
Drew
Do that again.
1:15:28
Bad Religion
No, no, no.
1:15:29
Bad Religion
It's not derogatory. No.
1:15:30
Drew
This is the schmoe. The schmoe is offering.
1:15:32
Bad Religion
I heard that.
1:15:32
Drew
Go talk at him.
1:15:33
Bad Religion
Yeah.
1:15:33
Drew
Yeah, the schmoe is doing it.
1:15:35
Bad Religion
He's in there working.
1:15:36
Bad Religion
Schmoe is a very desirable job position.
1:15:42
Bad Religion
We're going to talk to Ethan.
1:15:44
Drew
When we get back.
1:15:45
Adam
Oh, we're going to come back?
1:15:46
Drew
Yeah.
1:15:46
Adam
All right, everyone. I'm going to ace Rockolla.
1:15:52
Drew
I'm going to talk to Schmoe when we get out of here.
1:15:53
Adam
Well, we'll beat the Schmoe after this.
1:16:01
Caller
Um, back in a minute.
1:16:32
Adam
No bad religion in the studio tonight. In the house. In the hissy. Over here. 311 in here tomorrow night.
1:16:40
Drew
And Schmo needs to get the mic.
1:16:43
Adam
Schmo, Schmo, Schmo, Schmo.
1:16:47
Bad Religion
Check the Schmo.
1:16:48
Adam
We will get back to the phones and speak to Alex who has a question for Bad Religion. Alex?
1:16:55
Drew
Hello?
1:16:55
Adam
Hello.
1:16:56
Bad Religion
Hello.
1:16:56
Caller
Hi, Alex.
1:16:57
Bad Religion
Thanks for waiting, Alex.
1:16:59
Caller
No problem.
1:17:00
I'm really excited to talk to you guys.
1:17:02
Bad Religion
You're one of my favorite bands of all time, I'd have to say.
1:17:04
Bad Religion
Well, we're excited to talk to you.
1:17:05
Adam
Thank you.
1:17:07
Bad Religion
First question, would you guys influence it all by Frank Zappa? Because I noticed that since Bobby Shear left the band, and is it Brooks Wackerman?
1:17:17
Bad Religion
Yeah.
1:17:18
Chad Wackerman's little brother.
1:17:20
Bad Religion
Yeah, very good. Very observant.
1:17:22
Bad Religion
Well, I read that on your guy's website.
1:17:25
Bad Religion
Okay. Well, that's still observant.
1:17:27
Bad Religion
Well, yeah. My brother's actually a drummer. We're both...
1:17:30
Bad Religion
So what's the question?
1:17:33
Bad Religion
You know, Brooks is a great drummer from a great family of drummers.
1:17:37
Bad Religion
He asked if we were influenced by Zappa. No.
1:17:40
Bad Religion
Oh, right. Not really in Bad Religion, although I really love Frank Zappa. I wouldn't say that he served as an influence in our music.
1:17:48
Oh, yeah?
1:17:49
Adam
You're saying he's a beard and half, a pretty profound impact on the band?
1:17:53
Bad Religion
Not much.
1:17:54
Adam
No?
1:17:56
A little bit.
1:17:56
Adam
Whatever.
1:17:57
Bad Religion
I was really hoping that.
1:17:58
Bad Religion
Is this testing?
1:17:59
Bad Religion
Can we get the Shmo in here to work on Jay's microphone?
1:18:01
Caller
I need a Shmo. Hello.
1:18:03
Bad Religion
Jay's microphone has some distortion.
1:18:05
Adam
Hello. Alex?
1:18:06
Bad Religion
That's better. That's better.
1:18:07
Adam
Any other questions?
1:18:08
Bad Religion
Yeah. I was wondering, like, songs like Leave Mine to Me and I think On the Promised Land, you guys kind of use this kind of like relativistic kind of, I don't know, language. I was wondering if you guys really buy into that sort of...
1:18:21
Bad Religion
Well, what's a relativistic?
1:18:22
Bad Religion
He means cultural relativism. I assume.
1:18:25
Bad Religion
Yeah.
1:18:26
Bad Religion
I am not a cultural relativist at all. I believe there's a single truth to the way things happened and a single truth to the way things are. And it's science's job to try and figure out the truth.
1:18:38
Adam
What is cultural relativism?
1:18:40
Bad Religion
This is not helping the ratings at all.
1:18:42
Drew
No, no, it's what you talk about when it's okay for one culture where it's a giant.
1:18:46
Adam
Oh, I was just yelling about that last night. I think some things are wrong and some things are right. And the Taliban beating women is wrong regardless of your culture and doing things to incest is wrong. And no matter what part of the world you're from.
1:19:01
Bad Religion
And we can go even a step farther and say that some cultures might think that the moon is made out of cheese. And it's not. And it's like cultural relativists would say, that's cool, man. That's their way of seeing it. Well, the moon ain't made out of cheese. And that culture is wrong.
1:19:20
Drew
Yeah, that's it. They can go ahead and believe it. They're free to believe it. But they're wrong.
1:19:24
Bad Religion
But they're wrong.
1:19:24
Bad Religion
So Alex, is that what you meant?
1:19:26
Bad Religion
Yeah, so I was wondering, so what are you trying to get at with the song Leave Mine to Me?
1:19:33
Bad Religion
Exactly what you're doing right now means don't do it, leave mine to me. Right? You're asking him a question about a song where he's saying, don't worry about what I do, you worry about what you do.
1:19:44
Bad Religion
Well, but also here's an important distinction that you have to remember. In music and art, there's only one real truth and it's not that important. The only one truth is what came from the mind of the creator of the piece of music or art. And that truth isn't that relevant when it comes to a fan or a listener's interpretation of it. So leave mine to me just means leave my interpretation to me. Okay.
1:20:13
Adam
All right. Have fun with your head. Hey, Jake.
1:20:21
Yeah.
1:20:22
Adam
You're 13.
1:20:23
Caller
Yeah, man. There's a girl right there in the summer. Right. Yeah. And we were we would make out or whatever.
1:20:32
Adam
Right.
1:20:32
Caller
Because we worked at the same after school program.
1:20:35
Adam
Right.
1:20:35
Caller
I know. I'm pretty sure she liked me, you know, because I was made out or whatever.
1:20:39
Adam
Was she one of the kids from the after school program? Co-worker.
1:20:44
Caller
Teacher like me.
1:20:45
Adam
I see.
1:20:45
Caller
It will sound like teachers like CIT because I'm only 13.
1:20:49
Adam
Right.
1:20:49
Caller
But now, like I...
1:20:52
Drew
CIT counselor in training. Is that what that means?
1:20:54
Caller
Yeah.
1:20:54
Adam
Right.
1:20:55
Caller
Exactly.
1:20:56
Adam
Right. Not a schmo.
1:20:58
Caller
What?
1:20:58
Adam
OK. Go ahead.
1:21:00
Caller
OK. So now it's like during the school year and I called her because she gave me her number or whatever. And she didn't stay on the phone long. She was just like, it could be better if she called me. And now she hasn't called me. It's been like a month. I don't know what to do.
1:21:16
Adam
She's scared of the feeling she has for you.
1:21:18
Drew
Forget her.
1:21:18
Adam
Too powerful.
1:21:19
Drew
Forget her.
1:21:20
Caller
I don't know.
1:21:20
Drew
Move on.
1:21:21
Adam
That's it.
1:21:21
Drew
Move on.
1:21:23
Adam
Jake?
1:21:24
Caller
Thanks, Elmer.
1:21:25
Adam
Yeah. You have to. You have no choice.
1:21:28
Drew
I sure do. Something you'll get good at as you get older.
1:21:30
Adam
Yeah.
1:21:31
Drew
This is an important skill. You might as well learn it now.
1:21:33
Adam
Summer fling. You know, like in Greece.
1:21:36
Drew
Don't mean a thing.
1:21:38
Adam
You smoking a lot of weed, Jake?
1:21:39
Caller
Uh, not yet. I'm waiting till the end of 8th grade.
1:21:43
Caller
Oh, wow.
1:21:45
Adam
Smart. Wow.
1:21:48
Bad Religion
That's when you make that transition.
1:21:51
Bad Religion
If you can make a good decision like that, then you can take Drew and Adam's advice, I think, and move on.
1:21:58
Adam
Waiting till the end of the 8th grade?
1:22:01
Caller
Yeah, cause all my friends do whatever, but...
1:22:04
Bad Religion
Well, why don't you wait till the end of the 9th grade, cause that's when you shift schools, isn't it? That's when you go to high school?
1:22:09
Drew
Yeah, and actually there's some evidence that you should really wait till 11th grade, because before that, even relatively small amounts of pot can have been shown to possibly hurt people. In fact, your development, anyway.
1:22:20
Adam
All right, so you really start... Now, can he eat brownies until then, or no more smoke? 16. And in the 10th grade for brownies?
1:22:28
Caller
Why can't he eat cookies?
1:22:30
Bad Religion
No, you're not supposed to eat the cookies.
1:22:31
Caller
Oh, cookies are good.
1:22:32
Bad Religion
That's got sugar in it. You don't want any part of that.
1:22:34
Adam
That's right. All right.
1:22:36
Caller
All right, man. Hey, also, I do a little music thing. I was wondering if I could play you guys some.
1:22:42
Adam
What do you do?
1:22:43
Caller
I kind of do rap, and I know it's not a big thing.
1:22:46
Bad Religion
Yeah, give us a little rap.
1:22:47
Caller
We like rap.
1:22:48
Bad Religion
We'd like to hear a rap.
1:22:49
Caller
It's just an instrumental, but I think y'all like it.
1:22:51
Bad Religion
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No instrumental raps.
1:22:53
Drew
Bitch! I didn't know there was such a thing.
1:22:55
Adam
How can you do that?
1:22:56
Bad Religion
Well, it's silent.
1:22:58
Caller
Yeah, all right.
1:22:59
Drew
Go ahead.
1:22:59
Adam
You ready?
1:23:00
Caller
All right, man. Just let me go get the CD.
1:23:02
Adam
All right.
1:23:04
Caller
I'm going to put you on hold.
1:23:06
Adam
Listen, if you're going to rap, you got to rap. You can't play the spoons.
1:23:09
Drew
He's got to get a CD.
1:23:10
Bad Religion
He's got to give us some freestyle right now.
1:23:12
Adam
Yeah. You know what I miss? I miss guys playing novelty items like the saw, the spoons, the jug. You remember when a guy every once in a while would pop up on some late night show and he'd have a saw that he'd be playing Melancholy Baby on? What happened to that art form?
1:23:29
Bad Religion
But do you really miss it?
1:23:30
Bad Religion
Well, there's a reason that it's gone, Drew. I mean, Adam, there's a reason that those things didn't persist.
1:23:37
Adam
You know, quite frankly, I think what happened is with the advent of power tools, a lot of people just got away from the old handsaws.
1:23:44
Bad Religion
They're not laying around anymore.
1:23:45
Adam
Kids didn't have access to that. That's right. It's all Nintendo and 18-volt Makita's now.
1:23:51
Bad Religion
Plus, all the saws are really short, those toolbox saws, and they're not good for music.
1:23:55
Adam
Right. Those little banjo ones. That's the one. Well, you know a lot about saws?
1:24:02
Bad Religion
I'm a lumberjack.
1:24:03
Adam
All right. We're going to talk during the break. Matthew?
1:24:07
Caller
Hello.
1:24:08
Adam
Year 23? What's up?
1:24:10
Caller
I have a question for Bad Religion.
1:24:11
Adam
Here they are.
1:24:11
Bad Religion
Shoot.
1:24:12
Hello.
1:24:12
Caller
I got your new album.
1:24:13
I was at the Epitaph store.
1:24:16
Bad Religion
Vunderbar.
1:24:17
Caller
Monday with The Noise Conspiracy. So it's really good.
1:24:19
Bad Religion
The Epitaph what?
1:24:20
Bad Religion
The store?
1:24:21
Bad Religion
The Epitaph headquarters on Sunset.
1:24:23
Bad Religion
Oh, you mean our office?
1:24:24
Bad Religion
Yes. The store. And you just happened to pick up a new record?
1:24:27
Bad Religion
Well, Inge from The Noise Conspiracy picked one up, so he told me it was out.
1:24:31
Bad Religion
Awesome. It's not out actually till January 22nd.
1:24:34
Caller
Well, he told me the warehouse had some, so I got one. It's really good.
1:24:38
Bad Religion
What you're saying is you pilfered one from my office.
1:24:41
Bad Religion
You stole one.
1:24:42
Bad Religion
That's okay.
1:24:43
Caller
I have permission from the librarian, I swear.
1:24:45
Drew
Dude, Adam, he piped it.
1:24:47
Bad Religion
From the librarian of my store. Well, just listen in good health.
1:24:53
Bad Religion
I'd like to hear both Brett and Greg's different opinions and experiences about Bad Religion's move from Epitaph to the major and back to Epitaph again, and just about political punk bands in general being on major labels. I know Brett wasn't in the band during the major label years. Punk scene gave you guys a lot of flacks for the move. So I was just curious about your different.
1:25:09
Bad Religion
Well, actually Brett was with us when we recorded our first major label record called Stranger Than Fiction. That was one of our most successful ones. Right.
1:25:21
Bad Religion
He wanted to hear both our takes, so just tell him who you are.
1:25:24
Bad Religion
Okay. This is Greg speaking. Okay. I'm going to tell you something about Brett. Yeah.
1:25:28
Bad Religion
Just to invite the other big political punk fans regarding major labels.
1:25:32
Bad Religion
I actually have an interesting story because it's so boring, because most people want to hear when you go to a major label that there was this big mean guy standing over you, forcing you to write hit songs. But actually, there was very little of that at all, and there was no creative interference at all. But the worst thing about it was that Brett was not with me.
1:25:55
Bad Religion
So this is Brett speaking, and as you may know, I own Epitaph, and you're not going to hear any major label bashing from me. I think the whole issue is overblown.
1:26:04
Adam
Well, it seems to me that they're not evil just because they're big. They're evil if they try to water down your product or influence you in a negative way. But if that is not going on as much as people would like to believe it is...
1:26:15
Bad Religion
You know, Britney Spears is on an independent label. I mean, not too many people know that, but Zamba is the biggest independent in the world. And Radiohead Kid A came out on a major label, and it was one of the most creative and innovative records of last year or so.
1:26:28
Bad Religion
Yeah, it was not our experience.
1:26:31
Bad Religion
And the Clash were on Epco, so that eliminates all of that.
1:26:33
Drew
Yeah, but it's a typical way we think, Adam. What would be in it for them to squash some of this creativity?
1:26:40
Adam
I think big is bad to a lot of people.
1:26:44
Bad Religion
It's the man.
1:26:45
Adam
Especially if they're fans of the punk scene. Hey, this is Jack.
1:26:49
Bad Religion
And this is Mike, and we're from TSOL. Well, I thought Jack was on the phone.
1:26:54
Bad Religion
Hey, yeah, and we want to ask a...
1:26:56
Bad Religion
I'm giving a shout out to Jack and Mike from TSOL right now.
1:26:59
Adam
All right, Matthew. All right, thanks a lot. Thank you. Big is not always bad. Let's talk to Bobby, who's 19. Bobby?
1:27:08
Hi.
1:27:08
Adam
What's up?
1:27:09
I actually had two questions for you.
1:27:11
Adam
All right.
1:27:12
One was, how does pop affect your sperm count?
1:27:17
Drew
It can drop it. It can drop it. It lowers your testosterone level, raises the estrogen level. It can drop.
1:27:23
Caller
It could?
1:27:24
Drew
Yeah. It won't make you infertile, but it can drop.
1:27:26
Adam
As a 19-year-old, you'll still be able to do damage with your penis, so don't worry.
1:27:29
Drew
Yes, you can certainly cause a pregnancy.
1:27:31
Caller
Okay.
1:27:32
Also, my other question was-
1:27:34
Bad Religion
It's not a contraceptive.
1:27:35
Caller
Right.
1:27:36
Adam
Oh, if you wear the bong over your penis, like I've done on numerous occasions-
1:27:40
Drew
You were using it as a penis enlarger.
1:27:41
Caller
Come on.
1:27:41
Adam
You got to keep your thumb over the carb, though, because it will come out.
1:27:45
Bad Religion
I thought that was a penis pump. Was that a bong?
1:27:48
Adam
I've said many a time, they ought to combine those two things. First off, it's the same audience. You know what I mean? Same consumer. They're pretty much- Interesting. Same guys who are spending money at the head shop for the bong, or spending for the penises.
1:28:01
Drew
Overworked on the vacuum principle, the sucking principle.
1:28:04
Adam
A couple of components, just a carb adapter.
1:28:07
Bad Religion
It's like a Swiss Army knife.
1:28:10
Adam
All you need is one of those blood pressure pumps in a little carb adapter, just a little air fitting that you could snap on like they have for compressed air fittings and pump, pump, pump.
1:28:20
Bad Religion
I think we're on to something here.
1:28:22
Adam
I don't know who would want to use it next.
1:28:24
Bad Religion
Right. Is that a pubic hair on my bong?
1:28:26
Bad Religion
I think we could sell them on the home shopping network. I'm pretty sure we could.
1:28:29
It's a big item.
1:28:30
Adam
Yeah.
1:28:31
Drew
Lovely.
1:28:32
Bad Religion
What's the second question?
1:28:32
Drew
This combination bong penis pump.
1:28:34
Adam
When your mom said, is this a bong? You didn't get indignant and go, how dare you? This is a penis pump.
1:28:39
Bad Religion
This is private, mom.
1:28:40
Bad Religion
This is guaranteed to add three inches.
1:28:42
Drew
What's your other question?
1:28:45
Okay, the other question is, I watch a lot of porno and I was wondering, because I may masturbate three or four times a day, how does that also affect my sperm count?
1:28:56
Adam
Well, you let a lot of them loose, right?
1:28:58
Drew
Yeah, it could be lowering it a little bit. Why are you worried about your sperm count?
1:29:01
No, I'm just-
1:29:02
Drew
Do you know what you're asking? I mean, why is that an issue to you, Bobby?
1:29:07
Because, I don't know, I just don't want it to go bad after a while.
1:29:11
Drew
No, it's not gonna go bad.
1:29:12
Bad Religion
It won't go bad. Even when you're an old man, you'll still have a sperm count.
1:29:17
Bad Religion
Yeah, it doesn't run out. It doesn't go stale and it doesn't go sour. It just keeps going.
1:29:21
Adam
Hold on. It can't go sour.
1:29:22
Bad Religion
Besides which, we've just recently cloned the first human, so men are obsolete, aren't they?
1:29:26
Bad Religion
Don't worry about it. Right.
1:29:27
Adam
Society is not lucky enough for your sperm to go bad, Bobby. You will impregnate many a woman on numerous occasions.
1:29:34
That's actually my plan.
1:29:36
Adam
Good. That's right.
1:29:37
Bad Religion
Go forth, my son, and multiply.
1:29:38
Adam
A lot of Bobby's running around.
1:29:41
Bad Religion
With multiple moms.
1:29:41
A lot of nice guys, probably.
1:29:43
Bad Religion
There you go.
1:29:44
Adam
Okay there, Bobby.
1:29:45
I also had to say one more thing before I hang up.
1:29:47
Adam
Right.
1:29:48
How come you guys don't play System of a Down anymore?
1:29:50
Adam
What do you mean?
1:29:51
Bad Religion
They play it all the time.
1:29:52
Bad Religion
What are you talking about?
1:29:53
No, you guys don't play it all the time when it starts. When the actual show starts.
1:29:57
Bad Religion
It's playing right now.
1:29:59
Adam
I don't know. I think we play System of a Down quite a bit.
1:30:01
Bad Religion
I heard them today on K-Rock.
1:30:03
Bad Religion
It's playing right now.
1:30:04
I would appreciate if you can play it at the end when you guys- There you go.
1:30:07
Adam
Whatever. All right.
1:30:08
Drew
Adam sings to it every night.
1:30:09
Adam
Will that adversely affect his sperm? Yes. Okay. Let's take ourselves a little break. Bad Religion is here. One of the only bands that's actually good for your sperm. We'll take a break.
1:30:21
Bad Religion
We'll get the Shmo in here and we'll be back after this.
1:30:58
Hey, I'm Clive Barker, and you're listening to Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew on Love Live.
1:31:04
Adam
Adam Corolla, English never get tired of putting R where the A needs to be and never get tired of taking the R and putting the A there.
1:31:12
Drew
Remember he was supposed to send me those books on book writing or something, some pamphlets?
1:31:16
Adam
Yeah.
1:31:16
Drew
Remember that?
1:31:17
Adam
Clive Barker.
1:31:18
Drew
Barker, Adam Corolla?
1:31:19
Adam
Yeah.
1:31:19
Drew
Never got it.
1:31:20
Adam
Well, screw him.
1:31:21
Drew
Shoot. He is a world class. No, he's not. I think he just forgot.
1:31:25
Adam
That's what you're saying.
1:31:26
Caller
He just forgot.
1:31:27
Adam
Bad religion.
1:31:28
Drew
I think all the stuff we forget to do for people.
1:31:30
Adam
All right. Bad Religion is here tonight, and the new CD is out on January 22nd. We will pop back to the phones and speak to Jessica, who's 18. Jessica, turn that radio down, Jessica.
1:31:45
Caller
I have it all. Hi.
1:31:49
Adam
Hey.
1:31:49
Caller
Hello. How's it going?
1:31:51
Adam
Good. How are you doing?
1:31:52
Caller
Good.
1:31:52
Adam
Good.
1:31:53
Caller
What's up?
1:31:56
Caller
Yeah.
1:31:57
Bad Religion
Yeah. All right. All right. You know what? We're talking about a penis bong right here, right now.
1:32:04
Caller
What?
1:32:05
Drew
Hello?
1:32:05
Caller
Yeah.
1:32:06
Drew
All right. Go.
1:32:07
Caller
Okay. Every time I have sex with my boyfriend, I have to watch the man show in order to get an orgy.
1:32:16
Drew
An orgy? I already get an orgy.
1:32:18
Bad Religion
Well, that's the only way you can get one, I've heard.
1:32:20
Drew
An orgy.
1:32:20
Bad Religion
It's in the TV Guide, apparently. That's the only way you can get it.
1:32:23
Drew
Get orgies.
1:32:25
Adam
Do you mean orgasm?
1:32:27
Caller
Orgasm. I'm sorry. I'm a little out today.
1:32:30
Drew
Yeah, a little.
1:32:30
Adam
Today.
1:32:32
Drew
All right.
1:32:33
Adam
Yeah. Well, thank you. Thank you. And in it was Jimmy or Adam?
1:32:37
Caller
Is it Adam?
1:32:38
Adam
Yeah. Is it my matinee idol good looks or my cutting wit?
1:32:42
Caller
It's your wit and your good looks.
1:32:44
Adam
Oh, man. You know all the right things to say.
1:32:48
Caller
Yeah, I had like when I'm having sex with him.
1:32:51
Adam
Right.
1:32:51
Caller
I picture Adam's face.
1:32:54
Caller
Where?
1:32:54
Adam
Where? I'm not going down on you, am I? Because that's a policy. No, no, no.
1:32:57
Caller
I don't like that.
1:32:58
Adam
Okay. Oh, good. Good. Oh, we could really get along.
1:33:02
Bad Religion
I didn't know you were a Jamaican.
1:33:05
Caller
No, I'm not Jamaican.
1:33:07
Bad Religion
No, no, no.
1:33:08
Caller
Adam is.
1:33:08
Adam
No.
1:33:09
Bad Religion
No. But Adam understood what I meant.
1:33:10
Adam
Right. Right.
1:33:11
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:13
Adam
No, I did. I've told this theory about black guys not liking to go down. I had a guy on a football team told me he would not eat anything that got up and walked away when he was done. And I took that to heart.
1:33:24
Bad Religion
No, but black men will, but Jamaican black men won't. Oh, really?
1:33:26
Adam
Interesting.
1:33:27
Drew
Yes.
1:33:27
Adam
Interesting.
1:33:28
Bad Religion
It's a cultural relativism.
1:33:30
Drew
Jamaicans have a lot of stuff they have thinking about homosexuality too. You were talking to them about that.
1:33:34
Bad Religion
Yeah.
1:33:34
Drew
They get very, I mean, no way, Mond.
1:33:37
Bad Religion
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:33:38
Adam
Hey, Jessica.
1:33:39
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:39
Adam
I'm flattered.
1:33:41
Caller
Right.
1:33:41
Adam
And, you know, Sunday nights, 10 o'clock Comedy Central, that's where you'll find your orgasm.
1:33:47
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:47
Adam
All right, baby.
1:33:48
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:48
Caller
Wait, wait, wait. I want to tell bad religion. They're pretty dope.
1:33:52
Adam
Pretty dope?
1:33:52
Bad Religion
Thank you very much.
1:33:53
Bad Religion
Word up.
1:33:55
Adam
Word up there, Jessica.
1:33:56
Caller
Oh, Adam.
1:33:57
Adam
Yeah, right.
1:33:57
Caller
Yeah.
1:33:57
Caller
When are you going to smoke some blunts?
1:34:00
Adam
When?
1:34:01
Caller
Yeah.
1:34:02
Adam
I don't know. I'm proud of this weekend.
1:34:04
Caller
All right.
1:34:04
Adam
All right. Good times. Good times. Yeah. This acoustic Christmas is coming up. And once in a while, you do make the mistake of getting stoned at that thing. And then I run into General Manager Tripp Reeb and start getting weird. You know, it's not, it's not good. Best to wait, wait until the evening wears on when everyone gets loaded and they're not, they don't rush to judgment as quickly.
1:34:26
Bad Religion
Why don't you get a costume and no one will know it's you.
1:34:30
Adam
That's like, what, what should I go as like?
1:34:32
Bad Religion
Like the Grinch.
1:34:34
Adam
Oh, oh, yeah, go, yeah, it does have a Christmas theme, Drew. We should do that.
1:34:38
Drew
Go as the Grinch?
1:34:39
Adam
Yeah, you go as like Mrs. Claus and I'll go as the Grinch.
1:34:41
Drew
I'll go as Wendy Lou Who.
1:34:43
Adam
Sarah? I like that. Sarah? Yeah.
1:34:47
Caller
Hi.
1:34:48
Adam
What's up?
1:34:49
Caller
First, I want to say hi to everybody who's there.
1:34:51
Bad Religion
Hi.
1:34:52
Caller
Hello.
1:34:53
Caller
Actually, this question was for Dr. Drew.
1:34:55
Bad Religion
Yeah?
1:34:56
Caller
I wanted to know if you have sex, if I have sex with two different people and one's bigger than the other one, is my vagina going to stretch?
1:35:04
Drew
Let me see if what you're asking is, if you have sex, would one guy be able to tell if you're having sex with another guy?
1:35:11
Adam
Well, the big guy's not going to be able to tell.
1:35:15
Drew
No, there's no way.
1:35:16
Adam
But the little guy's going to be like humping the Liberty Bound.
1:35:20
Bad Religion
We're talking about a hot dog in a hallway here.
1:35:22
Adam
Yeah.
1:35:23
Drew
That part of your body was designed to stretch and recoil, okay?
1:35:27
Bad Religion
But not like one right after another.
1:35:31
Adam
Is the one guy tagging out and the next guy stepping in, or is it later that day?
1:35:36
Caller
They don't know.
1:35:38
Adam
They're not aware of each other. What about your mouth? Same question, but about your mouth for oral sex. Does that come back, Drew?
1:35:45
Drew
That's a problem.
1:35:46
Adam
They spread out. You look like a bass.
1:35:50
Bad Religion
Can I wager a guess? Is this because the smaller of the two is actually your boyfriend? Yes. A good time. So the big guy is- He's the big guy. You're doing it on the sly and you don't want your boyfriend to know.
1:36:03
Drew
Why don't you break up with your boyfriend? That's not what we're about to say.
1:36:06
Bad Religion
Sounds like the small dog is on the way out.
1:36:07
Caller
Well, I've been with him for a long time.
1:36:09
Drew
I know. That's all the more reason to break up.
1:36:13
Bad Religion
Really?
1:36:13
Drew
You're done.
1:36:14
Bad Religion
Wait, is it just over his penis size?
1:36:16
Bad Religion
No, no.
1:36:17
Caller
It's more of the tension.
1:36:20
Bad Religion
Oh, okay. He's not giving you what you need and it doesn't have anything to do with the smaller penis.
1:36:25
Drew
We tell a lot of people your age that these relationships drag on forever because you don't know when and how to end them. When you're 28, you would end a relationship like this in three weeks.
1:36:35
Adam
How long have you been with Johnny Smalls there?
1:36:38
Caller
For like six years.
1:36:39
Adam
Six years? Yeah, it's over.
1:36:41
Bad Religion
Is it really small? How small is it?
1:36:44
Caller
Oh, it's not that small, but...
1:36:46
Bad Religion
Well, you can tell the truth. He doesn't know you're on the radio.
1:36:49
Caller
No, he doesn't.
1:36:50
Adam
Smaller? Well, he's killed himself by now for yes or no. Either way, right?
1:36:56
Caller
I don't know. I never measured it.
1:36:59
Adam
I see. Okay.
1:37:00
Bad Religion
Wait, if he was okay in every other department, then the penis size probably wouldn't matter, right?
1:37:05
Caller
No, it doesn't matter. I mean, he knows how to like, you know...
1:37:07
Adam
No, this guy shows you more attention, the new guy, right?
1:37:11
Caller
He's like more flirtatious.
1:37:13
Adam
Yeah, he's more attentive.
1:37:14
Caller
More attention.
1:37:15
Adam
This is not fair. You know, this is like, it's like if you worked at a job for five years and they hired a new guy and your boss called you in and said, you're fired, this new guy.
1:37:26
Drew
He's more enthusiastic.
1:37:27
Adam
He's all smiles.
1:37:28
Bad Religion
He's got a bigger dick.
1:37:29
Adam
He's got a big dick. No, of course, a new broom sweeps clean. I mean... For a while. For a while. Yeah. Because you're enthusiastic at the beginning. And you're a great guy.
1:37:40
Bad Religion
No, you can't do that. You've got to either break it off. You can't lie to a guy and cheat on him.
1:37:44
Bad Religion
No, you cannot.
1:37:45
Adam
No, and you think you're doing him a favor by not breaking up with him. No, no, no.
1:37:49
Bad Religion
It's not a favor, especially after that long.
1:37:51
Caller
That's not even part of the day.
1:37:54
Adam
And then don't tell him about this guy and about the penis disparity.
1:37:58
Bad Religion
Just be nice and say, you know what? It's time for us to move on.
1:38:02
Bad Religion
Anything that makes you go around telling lies all the time isn't going to make you feel good about yourself either.
1:38:07
Adam
It does tend to wear on you. Robert?
1:38:10
Yes.
1:38:10
Adam
You're 18?
1:38:11
Caller
How are you doing?
1:38:11
Adam
Good. How are you doing?
1:38:12
Caller
This call is primarily for Bad Religion. You guys are my favorite band in the whole world. I had gotten to you guys when I was a freshman, and ever since then I've just been inspired to take a look at the world around me and not take face of value. Now thanks to you guys, my eyes are wide open, so thanks a lot.
1:38:28
Bad Religion
Thank you very much.
1:38:29
Caller
And Greg and Brad, I think you guys are pretty much two of the best songwriters there ever were.
1:38:33
Bad Religion
Thanks.
1:38:34
Caller
And Brett, congratulations on all the epitaph success.
1:38:37
Bad Religion
Thanks.
1:38:38
Caller
It takes a lot to work your ass off and have a great company like you got. And I was wondering, I'm gonna see you guys on Saturday night, and I was wondering, could you guys play the Fertile Crescent?
1:38:49
Bad Religion
Probably not. We're actually rehearsing this week.
1:38:52
Caller
Oh yeah?
1:38:52
Bad Religion
And well, we're gonna be playing a couple of these newer songs and they're taking a lot of our effort to get the arrangements down.
1:39:01
Caller
Yeah, I got the new album ready too, like the other guy said, and it's excellent.
1:39:05
Caller
It's amazing.
1:39:05
Bad Religion
They're just pilfering your warehouse, I gotta tell you.
1:39:07
Bad Religion
You went to Epideph also?
1:39:09
Caller
No, no, no, I didn't.
1:39:10
Caller
It was a chance encounter at McDonald's.
1:39:12
Bad Religion
Yeah, there's a leak somewhere.
1:39:15
Caller
It's a long story and too long to get into, but it's...
1:39:18
Bad Religion
We want names.
1:39:19
Bad Religion
Huh?
1:39:20
Bad Religion
We want names.
1:39:20
Caller
I don't even know.
1:39:21
Adam
Grimace. We just went by Grimace.
1:39:24
Bad Religion
Thanks a lot for your support. It's great to have great fans.
1:39:27
Bad Religion
Yeah, we really appreciate it.
1:39:28
Adam
Thanks, Robert. I will say that Bad Religion definitely has some of the smartest, most appreciative fans we've heard on this show. I mean, you know, we do talk to a lot of people who call in, and they don't seem to articulate themselves quite as well as Bad Religion fans.
1:39:44
Bad Religion
You go ahead and say it. Our fans are kind of nerdy, aren't they?
1:39:46
Drew
Yeah, they're nerdy. We like that.
1:39:48
Adam
If nerdy means smart, dedicated, and into Jesus Christ, then nerdy, nerdy, and into Jesus Christ.
1:39:56
Bad Religion
Can we get the schmo to adjust Adam's mic in here?
1:39:59
Adam
Calling all nerds. Jeff?
1:40:02
Bad Religion
Hello.
1:40:02
Adam
You're 24.
1:40:03
Bad Religion
I am 24. I am a super fan.
1:40:07
Caller
I like to call myself a Bad Religion.
1:40:10
Bad Religion
I'm so overwhelmed. I tried to tell you screen there how messed up I am right now. I got a million questions, but I am reading a book right now called Forenal Advisory by Eric Neusbaum, and he mentions Bad Religion twice, but he's not very specific. My question is, has the band ever been a subject of any kind of censorship, whether it be on an album or on a concert bill?
1:40:31
Bad Religion
You know, that question comes up a lot, and we've enjoyed very little of that in our entire history. But it's interesting you point out that book because I'd like to see what the man has to say about us, especially one titled Parental Advisory.
1:40:48
Bad Religion
Yeah, well also on Joe, he offers the last spoken word album, he mentions you guys too. He says something to the effect of each or a hard-out bad religion, and I couldn't make any sense of it.
1:40:57
Bad Religion
Well, we're friends, so I'm sure it was nothing too derogatory.
1:41:02
Bad Religion
Oh no, I didn't think that. Also, Greg, when are you going to do another American Legion album?
1:41:08
Bad Religion
Nothing in the works this year because we're busy with the Bad Religion project. This will take us all through next year.
1:41:14
Adam
Hey, Jeff, we're out of time, but why don't you give us the name of that book? We need it one more time so the guys can go get it and then sue somebody.
1:41:23
Bad Religion
Parental Advisory, Music Centrorship in America. It was published last year by a guy named Eric Nuzum.
1:41:33
Adam
Alright, thanks Jeff.
1:41:34
Bad Religion
Thanks a lot. Thanks for the call. We appreciate it. Thanks.
1:41:38
Adam
Well, take a break. We'll be back with Bad Religion to wrap up after this. All right, everybody. She's Adam.
1:42:40
Drew
I was walking back and forth in the studio in the hall here. Out in the hall, they were arguing creationism versus evolution. In here, you guys talk about building garages. It's nice.
1:42:49
Bad Religion
That's okay.
1:42:49
Drew
Diversity.
1:42:51
Bad Religion
It's how we all get along.
1:42:53
Drew
Yeah.
1:42:54
Adam
Well, I want to tell Jay about the random orbital sander and how it impacted my life.
1:42:58
Bad Religion
I'm going to go get one tomorrow, as a matter of fact.
1:43:00
Drew
Again, with the random orbital sander. Come on.
1:43:03
Adam
I enjoy it.
1:43:04
Drew
No kidding.
1:43:06
Adam
It's easy on the groin too. I know the winters are long out there in Canada.
1:43:10
Drew
Everything ends up there.
1:43:11
Bad Religion
That's right.
1:43:12
