15:28 Voiceover Listener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.
15:39 Voiceover Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That's Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew, board certified physician. He likes to start the show with a nice yawn. It's that dead voice. That's how I know. The mics are hot, and it's time to rock and roll when Drew lets that huge yawn go about 10, about 10 seconds into the show. Brett Scallions and Kevin Miller are both here from Fuel. Fuel, this is Drew's theme song, by the way.
16:10 Drew It's what triggers in my head every time I hear your voice.
16:13 Adam Fuel was in here a year ago. I guessed eight months. I'm always light, or at least always off, and it's been almost a year to the day. It's just been about a week away from a year, and it's good to see you guys again. Good to have you back.
16:29 Fuel It's good to be back. We missed you.
16:31 Adam Thank you. Drew, in the five years I've been doing this show, have I ever said good to have you back? No. Once in a while, I say something that sounds like radio, and then I realize, what are you doing?
16:43 Fuel This is the first time.
16:44 Adam Yeah. I thought it, but I've never actually said it.
16:47 Fuel Because starting history right here.
16:49 Adam Yeah. Fuel is going to be in Anaheim. Where in Anaheim, by the way?
16:56 Fuel We're doing the House of Blues there on Wednesday.
16:58 Drew So I saw you guys at the House of Blues, a big sign for you guys at the-
17:01 Fuel Yeah, we just did two sold out shows there.
17:03 Fuel Yeah.
17:04 Fuel The Anaheim show is already sold out, so pretty excited.
17:07 Adam You did the sold out, where did you see the sign?
17:09 Drew On Sunset.
17:09 Adam Yeah, you did at the Sunset House of Blues, and now Anaheim. Then I got a whole bunch of other Fuel tour dates for you guys to find before the night is through. What have you guys been doing since we saw you? Just non-stop touring?
17:23 Fuel Yeah, more or less. The whole year we've been basically supporting others for a while. We went out with Aerosmith all summer, which was an amazing way to spend the summer. Great time with those guys. Earlier in the year, we were out with Kid Rock and stuff like that. So now we're just going to finish out the year doing our own headline tour and finish out the cycle of this record on the touring aspect. Then next year we'll start making another record.
17:48 Adam How was Aerosmith?
17:51 Fuel It's exactly how you expect a band. Those guys are such amazing guys. They've been down every road imaginable when it comes to the musician's life. There's so much history in that band. It's amazing to be able to hang out with those guys and just get a little bit of the trial and tribulation, I guess you could say.
18:13 Fuel In the dictionary.
18:13 Fuel What they go through.
18:15 Adam Rockstar. Yes, he did.
18:19 Fuel She just had Steven's picture.
18:21 Adam Yeah, I know. God, that guy.
18:22 Fuel He's like the perfect, like he's the ultimate Rockstar.
18:24 Fuel Yeah, the epitome, you know.
18:25 Adam I know, he screams like it, he looks like it. And what is he? He's got to be, was he in his 50s?
18:30 Fuel 53.
18:31 Adam 53. And he's got some hard miles on him too. But he looks good.
18:37 Fuel He does.
18:39 Drew He looked bad when he was 20. Yeah.
18:41 Fuel You know what, I'd agree with you.
18:43 Adam That's right.
18:44 Fuel Better now.
18:45 Fuel Now, he's off the booze and drugs, you know.
18:48 Adam It's absolutely amazing. And hey, do they play Rats in the Cellar and Toys in the Antique?
18:54 Fuel They do toys.
18:54 Adam They do toys? Oh, that's good. I always miss that song.
18:57 Fuel Yeah, this summer when we toured with them, we were doing all sheds, outdoor amphitheaters and stuff, and they had two different stages. They had the main stage and then they had a smaller stage up on the grassy knoll, I guess, if that's what you want to call it, you know. And so, but they would go up there and do songs like Dream On and Toys in the Attic, and they did one other song, I can't remember off the top of my head right now, but it was a really cool thing because it would kind of take it up there and small little stage kind of back to the roots of where they started, you know, so it was really cool.
19:27 Adam You know, one of my greatest strengths as an interviewer is talking to bands about other bands for long periods of time. Fuel will be down at the House of Blues Wednesday talking about Aerosmith if you want to come.
19:41 Fuel Yeah, if you want to continue this conversation, come on to LA.
19:42 Adam It'll be an open forum.
19:43 Fuel Play Aerosmith songs.
19:44 Adam They're going to cover a couple of Aerosmith songs, then it's going to be Q&A, Steven Tyler and the Boys, whatever.
19:50 Fuel But that's quite all right though because Aerosmith is such an intriguing band for people, you know, because they've been down the road for so long, and so people get excited about a band like that, so, and we were really excited to be able to share a stage with them and get to know them as human beings, so it was really cool.
20:04 Adam Well, hopefully, I don't know if this sounds trite, but 15 years from now, we'll talk to some upcoming band. I won't be here, Drew will still be here.
20:13 Fuel Johnny.
20:13 Adam And we'll be talking to them about touring with Fuel, and what an honor it was.
20:19 Fuel We can only hope.
20:19 Adam Then it's payback time because I'll do 10 minutes on Fuel. Here we go.
20:25 Fuel And then everybody go, what the hell is Fuel?
20:27 Adam Oh, no, no, you guys will be legendary.
20:29 Fuel That would be nice.
20:30 Adam By the way, who the hell is Fuel? Double Platinum. Something like Human is gone, which is quite amazing. Jesus Christ.
20:38 Fuel It's been a long and whiny road.
20:40 Adam Well, we wish you success, but you still have to stay another hour and 54 minutes.
20:46 Fuel We can talk about sex.
20:47 Drew You're getting the flu shot tonight.
20:48 Adam Oh, Drew, yeah, Drew brought this up. Drew brought the flu, a flu shot for me.
20:54 Fuel Are we going to do this live?
20:56 Fuel I thought we might as well do it on air. I was wondering what that was about there.
21:00 Adam Drew, you've never given me a flu shot before though, have you?
21:03 Drew Now it is your civic duty.
21:04 Adam Why?
21:05 Drew So we don't have to worry about the flu this year. We can concentrate on anthrax and smallpox.
21:09 Adam Right.
21:09 Fuel There you go. Why do you have two syringes?
21:11 Drew One's for Ann, but she's sick, so I'll get to her later.
21:14 Adam It's ironic.
21:14 Fuel I was getting nervous there. I was like, I hate needles and he's going to shoot me up.
21:17 Adam Isn't it ironic that Ann is sick the night you want to give her the flu shot?
21:20 Drew Yeah.
21:21 Fuel You can't give it to her then, right?
21:22 Adam Why is it our civic duty to do this? Because do they present the same way? Is it confusing?
21:29 Drew That and this is something that we don't want to have to worry about this year. We got other things to worry about.
21:34 Fuel Isn't it normal for when you get a flu shot that you get sick afterward? Because you're basically shooting someone up with the virus.
21:42 Drew You're shooting with pieces of the virus, proteins, and so you can't get sick from it. It activates your immune system so you can feel kind of headachy and weak, but that's it.
21:50 Fuel But that's not sick. Just headachy and weak.
21:51 Drew That's normal.
21:53 Fuel I mean we normally feel that because we're always hungover. We're musicians so if somebody says I'm headachy and sick, I go, oh you were drinking.
21:58 Drew Now most people won't notice even anything.
22:01 Adam Hey Drew, I heard that they don't want everybody getting this flu shot because there's going to be a shortage of it for those who really need it. Elderly and people with weak hearts and things.
22:11 Fuel That's why you're getting it, I'm sure it is.
22:13 Adam Oh because I'm old.
22:14 Fuel He's giving it to you.
22:15 Adam Did Steven Tyler get his?
22:16 Drew I'm sure.
22:16 Fuel As a matter of fact, they had a physician come in once a week and they got like B shots.
22:21 Drew Really?
22:22 Adam Yeah. Oh yeah. Drew laughs at that stuff.
22:26 Fuel What's up with the B shot then? Can I ask, does that do squat?
22:29 Drew Nothing.
22:31 Adam It doesn't do anything, but what if it makes you think you feel good?
22:35 Fuel Then that's it. That's three quarters of the battle, isn't it?
22:37 Adam Right. All right, Drew, give me that shot later on. I'm not emotionally up to it.
22:41 Fuel Do it on the air. Give it to him now.
22:42 Adam I want to hear it.
22:43 Fuel Hear him scream like a little girl.
22:46 Adam Alan?
22:47 Yes.
22:48 Adam You're 24?
22:49 Caller Yes.
22:49 Adam What's up?
22:51 Caller For the past two months, I've had some erectile difficulties. My penis has been very irritated. It's been painful, actually.
23:00 Drew Are you on any medication?
23:02 Caller I was on Paxil, but I got off of that because of a low sex drive.
23:05 Drew How long have you been off it?
23:07 Caller About a month and a half.
23:09 Drew Has the symptoms improved?
23:11 Caller No, they've gotten worse, actually.
23:13 Adam He says his penis was irritated, like kind of hurts in the inside?
23:17 Caller Yeah, well, irritated. It's very sensitive to the touch.
23:22 Fuel Sores and stuff like that?
23:23 Caller It gets red.
23:24 Fuel Any discharge?
23:27 Caller No, not really.
23:28 Drew Any new partner?
23:30 Caller Yeah, but I've had trouble having sex because of it. I've tried, and I've tried bravely, and she's been very patient with it.
23:40 Fuel Do you have possibly a latex reaction? Do you wear condoms?
23:45 Caller Yes.
23:45 Drew Oh, good one. Wow. I like that.
23:47 Caller But it didn't start when I was wearing condoms, though. It started before I even had sex.
23:53 Drew Well.
23:55 Fuel Do you have any latex on your hand?
23:57 Adam Never mind.
23:59 Caller No, I don't wear rubber, hospital gloves.
24:01 Drew I'm concerned it's somehow related to the Paxil. I don't know why you'd still be having it off the Paxil, but boy, I mean, you want to get back and get looked at and checked out because we're sort of not coming up with empty here.
24:12 Adam Yeah.
24:12 Caller Everyone else has, too. I mean, I went to Ural. I've been to Ural just a couple of times. He hasn't really, he's looked at, he's checked me out, but he hasn't.
24:21 Drew Is whatever would make you-
24:22 Adam Hold on a second. By the way, I was just thinking he was just, he's with a new partner. Not being able to get it up for the first three or four times you try with a new partner is like showing up drunk for your first day at work. It's like it's the worst impression. I mean, ironically, you can do this a few years, a few months into the relationship, but the very beginning point-
24:44 Fuel It's probably not a good start.
24:45 Adam No, it's a bad start. The worst part is when the girls talk and they're like, how is he?
24:51 Fuel How is he?
24:52 Adam How- And then there's that weird silence and everyone bows their head. So what do you want him to do, Drew?
24:59 Drew Whatever he went on the Paxil for in the first place, may be rearing its head here. You know what I'm saying? That's another possibility.
25:04 Adam Alan?
25:05 Drew Who put you on the Paxil and why?
25:07 Caller Anxiety attacks, usually, or just general anxiety.
25:10 Drew Are you having similar symptoms now?
25:13 Caller No, not really. I think I've gotten over that mentally, or I've worked that out on my own.
25:19 Fuel But you said this situation started before the new partner, right?
25:22 Caller Yes.
25:23 Drew Do you have obsessive compulsive disorder? Do you think about things now and obsess about stuff?
25:27 Caller Not really. Not obsessive compulsive.
25:29 Drew Well, you've seen urologists. There was something that was obvious he would find it, okay? And if he comes up completely negative organically, you've got to start going down the emotional path.
25:39 Adam Speaking of going down, do you do that on her?
25:42 Caller Oh, yeah.
25:43 Adam Yeah, that'll keep her quiet for a while. Yeah. That's good.
25:48 Fuel What could this be? What could it be, though? Like it's a form of herpes or something?
25:52 Drew No. I don't think it's going to be anything organic because he's seen urologists a couple of times and these things are not hard to nail down. And he's had anxiety disorders. He's been on Paxil. Maybe it's something neurologic from the Paxil or maybe it's some whatever psychiatric problem is coming up.
26:07 Adam And listen, once you start questioning your penis, it's tough. You're screwed. It's like when you're batting and you strike out a few times. So you get up there and you start trying to change a bunch of things and you're thinking too much and that's it. Now you're screwed.
26:21 Fuel Question it like a cop, sit in a dark room, put a light on it, go, yo, what's up?
26:24 Adam That's right. That's right.
26:26 Fuel Give it up.
26:27 Drew Sweat your penis.
26:28 Adam You do what I do. You do good cop, bad cop with the balls. Take the balls in the other room and my partner comes there and they go.
26:35 Fuel They can't talk because they all stick together.
26:37 Adam Right. And he plays the nice cop with the balls. A cup of coffee, a cigarette. Yeah. You seem like a good set of balls. Yeah. You don't have to go down with that penis. He's going down. He's doing some real hard time. But I get the feeling he just sort of dragged you along.
26:53 Fuel Just dragged you along. They're just smacking the shit out of you.
26:55 Adam Oh, wait a minute. Watch the S word there, please. Anderson's going. Nicole?
27:05 Yes.
27:05 Adam Yeah. What's up? You're 27. You're on with Fuel.
27:09 Caller Hi, Fuel.
27:10 Fuel Hi.
27:11 Caller I do a lot of kegel exercises, and I was wondering if that could have an adverse effect, like with your bladder or with your cervix, because my bladder is sometimes weak.
27:22 Drew Your bladder or your what?
27:24 Caller My cervix.
27:25 Drew Your physics?
27:26 Adam Cervix.
27:27 Fuel Cervix.
27:28 Drew What about you? How do you?
27:30 Fuel How does that connected?
27:31 Drew Honey, what do you mean your cervix?
27:32 Caller Well, I'll tell you, because my bladder is sometimes weak, and my cervix, I've noticed over the last couple of months, is always really pushed really far down, almost right at the opening, which I didn't know that it moved that far.
27:45 Drew Have you had children?
27:46 Caller No, I haven't.
27:47 Adam Why are you doing the kegel exercises?
27:49 Caller To keep my boyfriend happy.
27:51 Adam Why? What do you do? You get his penis in a half nelson every time it goes inside you?
27:55 Fuel Sometimes you get the clamp down. It's a good thing.
27:58 Caller Yeah, that way you get to massage him while you're having sex.
28:01 Adam So you get on top of him and then you do those contractions?
28:05 Fuel No, I think she's saying she doesn't want her own.
28:07 Caller It's like working out, you know, so that you're stronger.
28:09 Adam But you're massaging him when you're having sex.
28:12 Caller Right.
28:13 Adam I mean, do you get on top of him and do that?
28:16 Caller It doesn't matter what position we're in.
28:17 Adam You can do it on your back?
28:19 Caller Sure.
28:19 Adam What a keeper. What about doggy or a wheelbarrow?
28:24 Caller Well, when it's doggy, I don't really need to because it goes in so far with that position that there doesn't seem to need the extra stimulus. But especially when you're going slow, if you massage, it seems to feel better for both of us.
28:37 Fuel All right, Doc, you're confused.
28:39 Adam You do the contractions. All right, so how long have you been doing the Kegel exercises?
28:44 Caller I started doing them when I was like 16, but I do them, I've been doing them in earnest since I started going out this time.
28:51 Drew And what was the bladder problem?
28:53 Caller Like my bladder is like kind of weak, you know? If I feel like I have to go and urinate, if I don't do it right away, then I start to spot a little bit.
29:01 Drew Well, maybe you have a urine infection.
29:03 Caller I've gone to my doctor, I've gone to my GYN, and they took all the tests and everything, and they said it's all right.
29:09 Drew Did they also say your cervix was at the...
29:12 Caller Yeah, and he said that it's good for a cervix to be so mobile that it's supposed to move around somewhere.
29:17 Adam Sure, you want a cervix like a good college quarterback when you're running the option, you're running a...
29:24 Fuel Stay in the pocket but move around.
29:26 Adam Yeah, you want a good flutey type cervix.
29:28 Fuel Jump over the line.
29:29 Adam Right, to the jump pump.
29:31 Caller It's a little too mobile for my comfort, it's a little too...
29:34 Adam Hey, Nicole though, I'm very interested in this, starting the Kegel at 16, and you're like the only chick you know doesn't have to pull the tampon out, right? You just check it, it's like a shell casing coming out of a gun, out of a shotgun.
29:50 Drew It's like a ball player with a spade tackle.
29:52 Caller You know what? It's actually the exact opposite.
29:55 Caller Oh, really?
29:56 Caller It's hard to get it out.
29:57 Interesting.
29:59 Fuel Hey, since you got a quarter, you want a scrimmage match?
30:02 Drew It doesn't have anything to do with... The cervical issue has nothing to do with the kegels. The bladder, if anything, should be better with the kegels, so you're actually... I mean, you need to have that looked at again to see... At your age, you shouldn't be having leaking.
30:15 Fuel How about cranberry?
30:16 Caller I drink a lot of cranberry juice, so I never have infections.
30:21 Drew Do you bicycle a lot or are you spinning or anything like that?
30:25 Caller No.
30:26 Adam So give me the kegel routine.
30:29 Caller 50 to 100 contractions three to four times a week.
30:34 Adam And do you do that... Can you do it when you're at work and that kind of thing?
30:37 Caller Yeah, it's not like anyone can tell you're doing it.
30:40 Drew How long do you hold them for?
30:43 Caller I do them rapidly in succession about 50 times and then for the second 50 times, I hold them for 3 to 4 seconds and then the last one I hold for as long as I can.
30:53 Fuel I would have been done ready for a sandwich after the first 50, I'll tell you.
30:57 Adam Starting at 16.
30:59 Caller Yeah, I read about it in a book and it just seemed like a nice skill to have.
31:02 Drew It's an abnormal energy.
31:03 Adam Yeah.
31:04 Drew It's not a bad thing.
31:05 Adam All right.
31:05 Fuel A woman's body is too complicated. Thank God I'm a man.
31:09 Adam I know. I'd be ruined. I'd be using the same tampon I had in high school. I really would. I'd have like the same napkin, the same tampon. I'd be a complete mess.
31:19 Fuel You'd be dead.
31:20 Fuel You'd be staring at yourself in the mirror, right?
31:22 Adam Yeah. There'd be cats following me around.
31:25 Fuel You'd have some severe toxic shock, pal. You'd be out of here.
31:28 Adam It'd be like a family of possum would be living in my vagina. God knows what I'd do if I needed money. I'd be a mess.
31:36 Fuel You'd have to sell the possums.
31:37 Adam I'd be like... You want to touch the possum?
31:43 Fuel It's got two pockets.
31:45 Adam 16 with the Cagle's. Antonio?
31:49 Yo, yo, what up?
31:50 Adam Right.
31:51 Yo, yo.
31:51 Adam You're 16. Yeah.
31:53 Caller Before I get to my question, I want to kiss a little ass a little bit.
31:55 Adam All right.
31:55 Caller I just want to say that Adam, you were funny as hell at The Roast for Have Sunday Night.
32:00 Adam Oh, thanks.
32:01 Caller And Fuel, I saw you guys at the HFS, where you guys kick ass, you guys kick ass live. Thanks, bro.
32:06 Fuel Great, thanks.
32:06 Caller And Drew, you're just awesome all around.
32:09 Drew Thanks, Antonio.
32:10 Caller All right, no problem. Yeah, damn straight. Okay, so this past Saturday, I had sex with my girlfriend, it was like first time, and she was on her period, and I used a condom, but I want to make sure like I'm clear for everything, and I don't have anything to worry about, no.
32:24 Drew Say that again? You used a condom?
32:27 Caller Right, but she was on her period, and I just want to make sure I'm clear.
32:31 Fuel Well, first of all, it's probably not the safest time to engage in any sexual activities, but it's...
32:35 Drew Well, it's more of an issue for her.
32:37 Fuel Oh, really?
32:38 Drew Yeah, because that's how you, when there's sort of an open conduit to the upper regions of the genital tract, they can get tubal infections.
32:43 Fuel But what about him and the blood?
32:45 Drew You know, it's debated whether or not it's a substantial increase in risk of any of the blood-borne sex-transmitted diseases.
32:52 Fuel I'm glad I'm here.
32:53 Adam Yeah, well, if she has, well, you're not sleeping with 15-year-old high school chicks. You're sleeping with a lot of seasoned road veterans.
33:00 Drew They've been there.
33:01 Fuel But they all bleed, man.
33:02 Adam I know. I'm saying there's a higher, you got to have something in your blood, though. These chicks don't have anything.
33:08 Drew Right.
33:08 Adam You got hepatitis and AIDS and everything.
33:10 Caller We'd like to hope so.
33:11 Fuel I'm going back then. I'm going back to the younger ones.
33:13 Drew And you wore a condom, Antonio, so you're in pretty good shape. It's a smart thing. Listen, I tell you, on the home page of drdrew.com, there's a really good article about this business of being tested for everything. It's sort of a ridiculous idea. And it discusses the different combination of things you might want to be tested for, depending on what your symptoms are.
33:32 Fuel Are you feeling anything to make you...
33:33 Caller Oh, no. I'm straight. I just wanted to get that all checked out.
33:37 Drew Right. Go read that article. Honestly, it's a good one.
33:40 Caller And as far as that goes, actually, I tried to go to your site a couple of times and had trouble finding it, actually. The site?
33:46 Drew It's NoSpace, D-R-D-R-E-W.
33:48 Caller That's fine.
33:49 Drew nospaces.com.
33:50 Adam All right. Good times. Let's hear a song from Fuel. You queued up there, Anderson?
33:56 Drew Yep.
33:56 Adam All right.
33:58 This one.
34:02 Adam Yes, you did.
34:03 Fuel That's us, yeah.
34:04 Fuel Thank you very much. Thank you very much. You know, it was really hard to give that song up to those guys.
34:07 Adam What was your inspiration? This one is called Last Time. Villa, yep, that's Fuel, that's our guest tonight. Brett and Kevin are both there from the band, Something Like Humans, the name of the CD. We're going to take ourselves a little break, and we'll be back with more Fuel, more you, more us after this.
37:57 Drew Hello? Is this Loveline?
37:59 Caller Call 1-800-LOVE-191. Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back.
38:32 Hey, this is John.
38:33 Fuel Hey, hey, this is Tony.
38:35 Caller This is Max.
38:37 Fuel You're listening to Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
38:41 Adam Hey, folks, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew over there. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191.
38:50 Drew Let's get this vaccine out where the ants decided she wants one, too.
38:52 Adam Brett and Kevin are both here from Fuel.
38:55 Fuel We're gonna watch you get stuck.
38:56 Adam Where's producer Anne?
38:57 Drew Oh, you wanna bring her in here to do it, too?
38:59 Adam No, I thought she wasn't here.
39:00 Fuel Is this a butter and arm shot?
39:02 Drew It's an arm shot. It's a troll suit up.
39:04 Fuel That's good.
39:04 Drew You gotta bring her in or make her do it, too.
39:06 Fuel I don't know if we need a room full of ass.
39:09 Adam It would be.
39:10 Drew Oh, in Adam's case, this needle's not long enough to get through the hair.
39:14 Adam I'm gonna share you, Drew.
39:16 Drew Adam, be serious.
39:17 Adam All right, I got a lot of hair, but shouldn't there be some sort of affirmative action for guys who have hair in their ass? Yes. And Drew, you're not gonna butcher me like you did when you tried to pop that thing in my... Hey, and don't you suave it down first? All right, all right, go ahead. Drew, hold on a second. How high do you need my sleeve? Oh, here? Well, you need me to take my shirt off. All right. All right. Hold on a second.
39:45 Fuel It's gonna have some sort of triceps tomorrow.
39:47 Adam Can't you just do it through the shirt?
39:49 Drew No. Although I had some diabetics who do that.
39:51 Fuel You want them to dull the needle first, right?
39:52 Drew I had some diabetics who would shoot their insulin through their pants.
39:54 Fuel Oh, no way.
39:55 Adam Why?
39:56 Fuel Because they don't want to take their pants off? Just lazy?
39:59 Drew Just lazy, yeah. Isn't that wild?
40:01 Adam That's something I would do if I had to.
40:02 Drew I know. You and your possum filled vagina, you'd be...
40:06 Adam All right. Drew is the...
40:08 Fuel Scream a lot so you can really scare her.
40:09 Adam Yeah, I already got the small poxing.
40:10 Fuel I can see there's some possums crawling around on his chest.
40:13 Adam That's it?
40:13 Fuel That's it. Look at that.
40:14 Adam You barely screwed that one up. All right. So now, what does that mean? I can eat stuff off the floor now?
40:20 Drew Well, more than usual.
40:23 Adam Good.
40:24 Drew Come in here and get hers, too.
40:25 Adam Oh, please.
40:25 Fuel Come on in. Next victim.
40:27 Adam It's not painful enough, Ann. Yeah, sit down, Ann. You don't need to do this on the air. Drew, we need to hear her scream. That wasn't bad. Dana?
40:36 Hi.
40:37 Adam Thank you. You're 17. What's up?
40:39 Caller Hey, I have a question for Fuel.
40:41 Caller Oh, go ahead.
40:43 Caller Hey, Brad, I think that you have got to be probably like the sexiest guy alive, next to Adam, of course.
40:49 Fuel Adam's a pretty sexy guy.
40:50 Drew Puts you in an interesting group.
40:53 Fuel But I don't think Brad has a hairy butt.
40:56 Caller Hey, that's even better.
40:58 Adam I know.
40:59 Fuel Sorry, Adam.
40:59 Caller Yeah.
41:00 Caller I just want to say that, first of all, you guys helped me get through a really hard time.
41:04 Caller I saw your CDs and your lyrics and everything. I really related to it and helped me get through a lot. I just want to thank you for that.
41:13 Fuel Oh, thank you very much.
41:15 Caller My question is for you, Brad. Is it difficult to get motivated to sing the lyrics that aren't really yours? I know Carolla writes most of them.
41:26 Caller How do you get the inspiration to sing them?
41:31 Fuel Well, I think it all goes back to growing up and listening to all the music that I've loved in my lifetime. I think that anyone who is a music fan, when they listen to music, they soak in the music and the lyrics of whatever songs they're listening to, and they kind of incorporate them in their own lives, and they take from the songs what they feel they need to. And it helps as a listener and as a fan of the music to kind of relate to it and just search yourself and give your own interpretation of what it's about. And that's kind of what I do.
42:14 Fuel Make it your own.
42:15 Adam Hey, Dana.
42:16 Caller Yeah.
42:16 Adam But you sing songs whose lyrics you didn't compose all the time, right?
42:22 Caller Yeah, all the fuel songs, but no.
42:23 Adam Well, there you go. How do you do that?
42:25 Caller Obviously, I just like I don't have the kind of passion here for it like when I hear him sing, it's like it gets like straight to like my bones.
42:33 Fuel Well, I mean, I have the songs that I do and stuff and Carl has his and Carl gives me what he composes and stuff. And I just, Carl and I, we don't discuss what his feelings and thoughts are where as the song was being written. And I take it and decipher it for myself and basically give my own interpretation. And it gives it gives myself more meaning to the song, you know, whether it's right, whether the song, whether what I feel the song is about, it could be completely different from what the song actually means. But yet it is what it is to me.
43:09 Adam It's it reminds me of when I was in the sixth grade and my buddy Steve Hughes was taking the song Taking Care of Business by BTO and singing Taking Care of Pistons. And to him, it was a song about automotive maintenance.
43:24 Fuel There you go.
43:25 Adam And to Randy Bachman, it was about something completely different. But that's the beauty of music.
43:30 Fuel There you go.
43:31 Adam Thank you. Amara? Hello?
43:37 Drew Sleeping?
43:38 Adam Possibly. Can you hear her there?
43:41 Drew We hear her there.
43:42 Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
43:42 Adam Put her back on hold. Annabelle? Yeah. You're 16.
43:48 Caller What's up?
43:49 Caller Well, last weekend my boyfriend broke up with me on our six-month anniversary on the date and he wanted, he was like, I still want to be friends and stuff like that. I was like, okay, I want that too, but it's going to take me a while. He was like, that's fine, however long it takes you. The next day his friend called me and he was like comforting me and he was like, I'm so sorry and all that. Then he was like, I have to tell you he cheated on you twice while you were gone during the summer and at a party three weeks ago.
44:21 Drew Who is this friend you were talking to?
44:23 Caller It was actually my ex-boyfriend's really good friend from school that I was kind of friends with also.
44:29 Adam Benedict Arnold.
44:30 Fuel Yeah, we can see what's going on here. First of all, he's not comforting you for your comfort. He's comforting you because he wants to get some loving on.
44:38 Adam That's right.
44:40 Drew He's been your friend because he's been hanging around weeding on the sidelines for the opportunity to ditch.
44:45 Fuel The truth is, he's a rat. He's a rat.
44:49 Caller Yeah, and I was kind of thinking about it.
44:50 Adam Did you like my use of Benedict Arnold, though? I don't think that's been used in about 40 years.
44:55 Fuel A lot of applause on that one.
44:56 Adam A lot of you kids don't know who Benedict Arnold is.
44:58 Fuel We'd go to rat because otherwise if you...
45:01 Drew More Benedict Arnold's humor.
45:02 What?
45:03 Adam Yeah. Annabelle, you know who Benedict Arnold is?
45:05 Fuel Yeah, she has him for breakfast.
45:07 Adam All right.
45:09 Thanks.
45:10 Adam All right, baby. So now, do you like this guy who was comforting you?
45:14 Caller No, not at all.
45:15 Fuel Well, just be careful.
45:16 Caller He was nice and all that like when we're going out, and he was really chill to hang out with. But like now, it just kind of disturbed me and I don't know really who to believe like.
45:26 Fuel I mean, your boyfriend may have done it.
45:28 Adam Oh, yeah, he did.
45:29 Fuel You know what I mean? But this guy is he's, he, look, we've all been the comforting guy.
45:34 Adam Yeah.
45:35 Fuel So I think that's why we can all relate to what's going on here. Everybody has ulterior motives. Just watch your back.
45:40 Adam He did it, but your boyfriend broke up with you, and that's what he should have done.
45:45 Fuel Yes.
45:45 Adam And don't worry about the order of things. The bottom line is, here's what everyone likes to do. Somebody breaks up with you and you go, it's not that they broke up with me, it's how they did it or it's not that they cheated, it's that they lied. No, you're hurt that the relationship is over, and that they dumped on you, and women and men do this too. You spend a whole bunch of time racking your brain trying to put things in the right order. Wait a minute, he cheated on Tuesday, and then he broke up on Friday.
46:12 Drew Then I got to go back and talk to him about this.
46:14 Adam Yeah, I got to confront him.
46:15 Drew Now you're dancing.
46:16 Adam That's just another excuse to get back and stir things up and dance more with the person.
46:20 Fuel It's over.
46:21 Adam It's over.
46:21 Fuel At least he gave you the chance to move on. Yeah.
46:24 Adam That's right.
46:25 Fuel I was married for six years, and I've been separated now for going over a year, and my wife and I are actually best friends now.
46:33 Adam Really?
46:33 Fuel Yeah.
46:34 Adam Do you have a kid?
46:35 Fuel No.
46:35 Adam Wow. See, I would assume maybe you had a kid, and that's what kept you guys.
46:39 Drew Adam would never be best friends with a woman, period.
46:41 Fuel See, that's why he's questioning that. So let him be your friend. You know what I mean? Take the time. My wife needed time to heal.
46:48 Adam Yeah, but she's angry at him now, so leave him alone.
46:50 Fuel Yo, be pissed. Don't worry about him now. If he calls you now, flipping the bird, hang up.
46:55 Fuel Be pissed. He screwed up. He knew it, and he gave you the chance to get out.
46:58 Adam Right. But don't call him and try to get satisfaction. It's never going to work.
47:02 Fuel And as other thoughts you were thinking about his other friends, you should move on with that.
47:05 Adam Right. But imagine. You know she's going to call him. And you know she's going to tell him who she heard this information from. And boy, this is going to be good.
47:14 Fuel There goes the end of my fuel records on that stereo.
47:16 Adam Amara?
47:17 Caller Hi.
47:18 Adam What's up?
47:19 Caller I have a question for you about the story that I'm writing.
47:23 Adam All righty. Is it about the girl who fell asleep on hold?
47:28 Caller Yeah.
47:28 No, it isn't.
47:30 Adam It's a parable. Yes.
47:33 Caller I felt like this girl, she was born and pretty much raised in most of elementary school in this small little farming town. And then she gets put into like this big story, like cities kind of thing.
47:47 Adam What are you writing this story for?
47:49 Caller Oh, well, just because I'm trying to get some extra credit on it pretty much.
47:54 Adam For like English class?
47:55 Caller Yeah.
47:55 Caller Okay.
47:57 Adam So you need an ending?
47:59 Caller Yeah.
47:59 Caller Because like all this bad stuff happens to her.
48:02 Drew At the high school? At the new big school?
48:06 Caller Yeah. She wants to be a psychological profiler and all this stuff. And she's gotten to the point where she's getting ready to go to college. I don't know like how many years or something she'll want to go. I'm like, what school?
48:19 Adam Right. Well, Drew, you got a big ending for this.
48:24 Fuel Make it a happy one.
48:26 Drew I just know what the question is.
48:28 Fuel She should go on to be on the dean's list and kick everybody's butt.
48:30 Fuel She saves a litter of drowning puppies or something.
48:33 Drew Have her go to University of Ohio. Okay.
48:36 Adam All right. And then give it a carry like prom.
48:40 Drew And then she has to go to four years of graduate school, and then she has to do four years of clinical work after that.
48:45 Adam All right. And then after...
48:47 Drew We're talking about 12 years after you're...
48:49 Fuel When she marries Bill Gates and never has to worry about any of the stuff she just did.
48:52 Adam But after all that, she then wakes up. We do one of those dream things where it turned out it was all a dream, and it's an alarm going off in the morning, and she lives in a gutter. Okay, Amir. Good times, baby. See, this is why I didn't write when I was in high school. I realized I had no thoughts. Well, I tried to write.
49:10 Fuel And then I met my possum.
49:13 Adam Yeah, and he moved into my vaginal den.
49:17 Fuel I could just picture the tails wiggling out.
49:20 Fuel Why leave home? I got possum stimulation.
49:23 Adam Yeah, I saw a giant... Well, actually, all possums seem like giant possums because they look like giant rats, but you start with the word giant, and then you figure it out, and you put the word possum at the end of it, but they're all about the same size, but they look too big. Like, you know, there's certain animals that seem too big and some that seem too small. Like, I'm trying to think, like, there's certain bears that could be bigger.
49:44 Fuel I bet you just started something here. You don't even know this. You know, I'm going to have all my friends now.
49:48 Drew Armadillos are too big. They should be small.
49:49 Adam Armadillos should be small, and possums should be small.
49:51 Fuel I'm going to have all my friends walking around and going, man, I bet she's got a nice possum. It's going to happen.
49:57 Drew Now, what is too small?
50:00 Adam What animals are too small? I don't know. Do you guys know?
50:02 Fuel The shrew.
50:03 Adam The shrew too small?
50:04 Fuel Shrew's pretty small.
50:05 Drew What about some North American animals that are too small? Skunks are too small when you see them sometimes.
50:09 Adam Moles are small. No, they look like what they are.
50:12 Fuel Keep them small.
50:13 Adam There are certain things that look small, like wolverines look like they should be bear size. They're really small dog size. Coyotes are small. They should be bigger.
50:22 Fuel Not like a chipmunk or something.
50:24 Adam No, they're not big. They're scrawny.
50:26 Fuel Little scrawny. How about a weasel?
50:29 Fuel That's a good one.
50:30 Adam A ferret could be a little bigger.
50:31 Fuel A ferret could be bigger.
50:32 Adam A ferret could be otter size.
50:34 Fuel Here's the mongoose.
50:36 Adam Mongoose could be bigger too.
50:37 Fuel They got that really mean.
50:39 Adam Mongoose would take over the world. Another question.
50:41 Fuel Where are we going with all this?
50:42 Adam I don't know. But the point is... This is wonderful. I saw a possum in my backyard and Jimmy thought it was a giant rat. Because he's from Vegas, so he doesn't know anything.
50:54 Fuel Does he go, hey, hey, you got a rat in the backyard. That's a big rat. I saw that rat.
50:57 Adam Yeah, because it just looks like a giant rat walking around.
51:00 Fuel I looked at him and put some light on his eyes, lit up and everything.
51:03 Drew Did he go nuts?
51:03 Adam Yeah. You know what could be smaller too is nutria, which are those crazy rat things that are in New Orleans that are eating New Orleans. Do you know what I'm talking about?
51:12 Drew Yeah, I heard about this. I don't see one.
51:14 Adam I'm going to tell you guys, Fuel is here and I'm going to tell you all about this nutria.
51:17 Fuel Yes, please let us know because we're on our way to New Orleans.
51:20 Adam Oh, this is good. Yeah, when we come back.
51:23 Caller See you in a minute.
51:59 Adam Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Drew. Brent and Kevin are both here from Fuel. What's up? We're having a spirited conversation about what should be bigger and what should be smaller.
52:09 Fuel I should be bigger. My penis should be bigger.
52:12 Drew Naturally.
52:13 Adam We've, we left this off our last break. We decided that, well, it started with possums, and I decided the possums really should be smaller than they are. They look way too big. Koala bear could be bigger. Drew suggested the scorpion could be smaller. Some of the scorpions get really big.
52:32 Drew Yeah.
52:33 Fuel They're like hand size, aren't they?
52:34 Drew Yeah.
52:35 Adam Even bigger sometimes. They look like they're insects. They should be smaller. Alligators could be smaller. I mean, they're like lizards.
52:42 Fuel I'll say on the Aerosmith tour, though, we had one of the crew guys got stung by a scorpion.
52:46 Adam Really?
52:47 Fuel On the loadout. Yeah. He leaned up against the wall. Vettel. He leaned up against the wall and got whacked in the arm. Wow. At first, he was like, ow, he just thought he hit a piece of copper wire or something.
52:58 Adam Right.
52:58 Fuel It stuck him. He was like, shit.
53:01 Adam Watch the S-word again.
53:02 Fuel He did that thing again and he just kept wrapping up the cable. One of the other guys looked at his foot and he's like, dude, there's a scorpion by your foot. Oh, and that was the one that tagged him. Yeah. One of the guys stepped on it and they laminated it. They put any word on his laminate, but he was really sick, man. He got really sick.
53:21 Adam It's funny because that's Rock and Roll getting stung by the scorpion, and there it is on his laminate. Catfish could be smaller, the ones that weigh three or 400 pounds. Groupers could be smaller, the three, 400 pound ones. Then the nutria, and I'll be real fast, I don't turn to a nature show. But the guy who invented Tabasco sauce in New Orleans imported these things. I'm going to butcher this a little bit around the turn of the century because he wanted to use their coats. They're really cheap. They make fur coats out of these nutria, which are like giant rats that just breed like crazy. Then apparently some typhoon blew in, knocked over all the cages, and now all these nutria were loose in New Orleans. They just chew away everything and trees fall over, and bridges come down, and they're just this huge mess. So they put a bounty on them, and it's like a buck a nutria. And these guys drive around with these flatbed trucks with 500 piled up in the back, and they're all in the swamplands in the backlands and eating everything. So they're like crazy big rats that just chew everything.
54:32 Fuel This is a rat that's maybe almost the size of a possum?
54:37 Adam Yes, this is almost a possum-sized rat. That's right. Okay, shall we keep moving here? Yeah. All right. Asians could be bigger. Rachel?
54:51 Caller Yeah?
54:52 Adam They're not so dangerous, the Asians. I wouldn't mind them being a little huskier set, a little stockier Asian. I wouldn't be scared.
54:58 Caller Adam, I'm half Asian.
54:59 Adam All right.
55:00 How tall are you?
55:02 Adam Are you small?
55:03 Caller No, I'm 5'7.
55:04 Fuel Wow. See? All right. That's the Asian right there.
55:07 Adam You wish.
55:08 Fuel Boom. Like that.
55:09 Adam Recruit you for my new program. Who is number one? I'm going to mate you with a possum. What's up?
55:17 Caller I snuck out to go see Fuel in San Jose. Actually, like a week ago, and my mom wants to kick me out of the house.
55:25 Fuel Is mom around?
55:27 Adam Is your mom there?
55:29 Drew Fuel wants to talk to her?
55:30 Adam Yeah.
55:30 Caller I don't know if I really want you guys to talk to her. I'm really nervous right now because Fuel is my favorite band.
55:36 Fuel Okay. Well, why wouldn't she let you go to the show?
55:39 Caller Because she says there's going to be sex and drugs.
55:43 Fuel Well, that goes for any rock show.
55:45 Drew This can't be your first sort of conflict with your mom, right? This has been going on for a while here?
55:51 Caller Not like this, but I have had problems with my mom in the past.
55:55 Drew What's the problem?
55:57 Caller She doesn't really like try to understand what's going on with me and my brother too. Like she doesn't give us that much attention.
56:05 Adam Where's your dad?
56:07 Caller My mom's divorced with my dad, but my dad's sort of abusive.
56:11 Adam OK.
56:12 Caller Where's my bourbon?
56:13 Adam What's he do?
56:15 Caller He's a truck driver.
56:16 Adam Oh, that's always bad. Always bad. Drew, isn't it always bad?
56:23 Drew Seems to be.
56:24 Adam OK. So he's out of the way, though. At least he's not around, right?
56:28 Fuel OK. So but in all honesty, like you have to talk to your mother, too, and you have to let her know that by her trying to shelter you like that doesn't mean that.
56:35 Drew Well, for a 14 year old to go out to a rock concert by herself.
56:38 Fuel By herself? That could be. I don't know. We have lots of 14 year olds there. I mean, our shows are not.
56:44 Adam There was probably not the fuel as much as it was the defiance.
56:48 Fuel Yeah.
56:49 Adam She told her to stay in and she defined her.
56:52 Fuel Backstreet Boy concert.
56:53 Adam Right.
56:53 Fuel You know.
56:54 Caller No, I don't like the Backstreet Boy.
56:55 Fuel I'm using that as an example.
56:56 Adam Hypothetically.
56:57 Fuel But you do, in all honesty, you have a whole lifetime ahead of you. So it's really the more conflict you just caused with your mom, it's just not going to make things better either.
57:05 Fuel Is your mother very religious? Is that what she's trying to shelter you from reality and try to teach you the way of the Bible?
57:11 Caller It's not religious at all.
57:13 Adam OK. Hey, Rachel, here's the deal. Because then we got to go. But because we care, but only so much. Your dad's the idiot. He was an abusive guy, was probably abusive to your mom. And he's out of the picture. Now your mom is saddled with the burden of raising a couple of kids. And I know you're angry and I know you're hurt. And I know there's a lot of feelings running around in you. And a lot of them meant for your deadbeat, abusive dad. But mom's getting the brunt of this because you're living with her. Do you think you can just say to your mom, listen, I love you. I know it's tough. And I know we have our arguments. But I'm going to try real hard to respect you and make things as easy as I can around here. Because it's a tough time that few years between 14 and the time you leave the house, especially with girls and everyone's really rebellious. But you guys have the same mission, which is getting through the next few years without anyone dying or getting hooked on heroin.
58:05 Fuel Exactly.
58:06 Adam And one of you is going to have to just step up and say, look, I'm your daughter. I love you. I'm sorry I defied you. Let's just keep open and talk about things.
58:13 Fuel And actually, the cooler you are with her, she'll probably be more apt to let you do some things. You know what I mean?
58:19 Fuel Of course.
58:20 Fuel Like if you give a little bit to your mom. So if you don't try to do every see every concert, see every this and once in a while and save it for the special occasions, and then go, look, mom, I didn't go to this concert, I didn't go to this concert. I was really wondering if I could go to the fuel show. And even ask her to say, mom, I'd be really honored if you went with me.
58:40 Fuel Are you into section drugs and stuff like that? Does she have a reason to be nervous about going to places like that?
58:46 Caller I'm not really interested in any of those.
58:48 Adam All right, give it three weeks.
58:50 Fuel Ask your mom to go to the show with you sometime, just so you'd really just like, let's make it mom and daughter night and let's go. Let me show you what it's about, mom.
58:57 Adam Yeah, tell her you'd like to catch Fuel New Orleans.
59:00 Caller I have a really quick question. Hurry. Brett, there's this girl in the audience who gave you the picture. I was just wondering what you thought of it.
59:08 Fuel Picture of what?
59:10 Caller You. She had drawn a picture of you.
59:13 Drew What city?
59:14 Fuel Oh, like a bunch of different pictures. Oh, I thought it was great. Was that you?
59:18 Caller Yeah.
59:18 Fuel Oh, that was awesome.
59:19 Caller I saw you saw the cut and I was really embarrassed.
59:22 Fuel No, I thought it was great. You did a great job. Thank you. Thanks.
59:26 Adam Thanks, Rachel. Mind your mom. Listen, I had the same pain in the ass sister. Chicks are a big handful. Guys are their own kind of trouble, but I think women are even more so.
59:39 Fuel I'm so afraid to have children. You don't have a daughter.
59:42 Adam My mom, my sister, a big pain in the ass. I'm still hating them. Tim?
59:47 Caller Yes?
59:48 Adam You're 32?
59:49 Caller Yes.
59:50 Adam Let's see. You were molested as a kid. Now you're attracted to young girls. How young?
59:56 Caller Mid-teenagers.
59:57 Drew How old were you when you were molested?
59:59 Caller 15.
1:00:00 Drew So you were right in your wheelhouse. That's right when that happened to you, right?
1:00:03 Caller Yeah.
1:00:04 Adam Were you molested by a woman?
1:00:06 Caller By a man.
1:00:07 Caller My interest is in teenage boys.
1:00:09 Adam Oh, teenage boys. Now it's making sense. I thought you wanted teenage women. All right. Can you not do this?
1:00:17 Drew I cannot do this. I can't live with myself if I did. Yeah. Well, you need to get this treated. An effective way for this to be treated is through jumper cables. No, the prism of sexual compulsion, sexual addictions. There are some really good programs out there that have decent success with this, and it's nice that you're calling us before you actually harm someone.
1:00:37 Adam So what should he do? I mean, an SA?
1:00:41 Drew You might try. There's a Delamo Treatment Center in Torrance, California, that might be able to give you some referrals up your area. I don't have any off hand. What's the name of it? Delamo Treatment Center. Okay. Are we on the air right now?
1:00:52 Adam Yeah.
1:00:52 Drew Okay.
1:00:53 Adam All right.
1:00:53 Drew In Torrance.
1:00:54 Adam Hey, listen, Tim, I'm sorry for what happened to you growing up. You're smart enough guy to know that innocent people don't deserve the same pain that you had when you were growing up. And that gives us hope. And really, if we could eliminate this, if the people who were the victims did not become the perpetrators, if they were like Tim, if they said, look, I had somebody hurt me, now I have these confusing feelings and these urges, but I'm not going to hurt somebody else, I'm going to act on it, and I'm going to go get myself some help, instead of screwing with somebody.
1:01:27 Fuel He took a big step. That's a big step tonight, is you're already recognizing that you feel you have a very, very large problem.
1:01:36 Adam And it's a big problem, but if it was that big, you probably would have done something horrible by now at age 32.
1:01:42 Drew He didn't say he did.
1:01:42 Adam He said he had, he said he couldn't live with himself if he did. So get yourself some help so you can live with yourself. Fuel's here, and we'll take a break.
1:01:49 Caller Here it is, bottom line, it sucks being single today.
1:01:52 Caller Tons of lame people and no decent prospects.
1:01:56 Call the Dateline. 1-877-889-DATE.
1:02:03 Caller Love Line will be right back. So get your problems ready.
1:02:06 Ready.
1:03:07 Drew Hey!
1:03:11 Adam Now, I've cornered myself, Drew, because I'm forced to sing along with System of a Down every single night.
1:03:18 Drew You have to. It's like, I can't appreciate this.
1:03:21 Fuel Yeah, you have another career out there. You have another career option now.
1:03:24 Adam Yeah, singing for System of a Down. Yeah, now I'll be driving in my car alone in this song. Come on, I'll be chickening out. Guy next to me thinks I have turrets or something. Fuel is here. Mugga, Mugga, Mugga, Mugga, Mugga, Mugga. I think I could do backup, play like the tambourine or that hollowed out serrated fish. Do they have one of those?
1:03:54 Drew They must.
1:03:55 Fuel They have to.
1:03:56 Adam I drag the number two pencil across it and then pop it in?
1:03:59 Drew Every concert. They're punk, man.
1:04:04 Adam I'd like to see that hollowed out serrated fish instrument.
1:04:08 Drew Or how about the little thing that you twist like that?
1:04:11 Adam Yeah. Yeah, that thing.
1:04:13 Drew Yeah.
1:04:15 Adam Right. Kebasa. All that good stuff comes from Mexico because they don't have like a Strativarius over there. They got the fish that's hollowed out. They got to drag the chopstick across it. Oh, no, they always painted the front up like a fish. Didn't they, Drew?
1:04:28 Drew Yeah.
1:04:29 Fuel Absolutely.
1:04:29 Adam All right. All right. And so they got that, Nutria and Benedict Arnold.
1:04:33 Drew There we go.
1:04:34 Adam Learned about tonight. We're going to hear another song from Fuel and just a couple of few.
1:04:41 Drew Yeah.
1:04:41 Adam You're 25? What's up?
1:04:45 Caller I was diagnosed with ADHD. My doctor put me on Zoloft. And now my fiance wants to leave me because I can't, it just doesn't work anymore.
1:04:58 Drew Listen, that's sort of not acceptable in terms of the side effects of the Zoloft. You need to talk to your doctor. The inability to have a quality relationship and to have physical intimacy is not healthy. And that can impair your mental health as much as anything else. And you shouldn't have to suffer through that because of a side effect of a medication, particularly for ADHD. There's lots of choices out there. And just get back to your doctor. Make sure he or she is someone who is skilled at treating ADD, ADHD, and has treated a lot of it as a psychiatrist or a mental health professional and has some expertise in that area. And then get going. This is not right. This is not okay.
1:05:36 Adam But if your fiance wants to leave you, it may be more than this.
1:05:41 Drew Maybe an excuse.
1:05:43 Adam Right. You may want to look into that.
1:05:44 Fuel How was your relationship prior?
1:05:47 Caller I thought it was good.
1:05:48 Adam Right. But guys always think it's good. Yeah.
1:05:50 Fuel Because we walk around going, it's good.
1:05:52 Adam I thought my relationship was good with a chick who had moved out. Well, I thought it was good.
1:05:57 Fuel While he was helping her move into her new place.
1:05:59 Adam I really showed up. I got back from Hawaii, bought her this Gecko T-shirt and she was gone.
1:06:04 Fuel I thought everything was good.
1:06:05 Fuel I think it was the Gecko T-shirt.
1:06:06 Fuel Did you use the shirt to wax your car then?
1:06:08 Adam I did use the shirt. I cut the sleeves off. It's sort of a rebellious move.
1:06:11 Mom, I'm so mad at you.
1:06:13 Adam I'm so mad at you, mom.
1:06:16 Fuel How long have you been seeing this girl?
1:06:18 Caller About five years. Yeah, my doctor even offered me Viagra, but I...
1:06:22 Drew No, what kind of doctor is this?
1:06:24 Adam He's a doctor, Bombay.
1:06:25 Drew He's a regular doctor. No, you need someone who is a mental health professional, psychiatrist. That's ridiculous.
1:06:32 Fuel He's just throwing prescriptions at this guy left and right.
1:06:34 Drew Well, he may have some idea what he's doing, but this is not working, so...
1:06:38 Adam Julie?
1:06:38 Caller Hi.
1:06:39 Adam You're 19?
1:06:40 Caller Yes.
1:06:40 Adam What's up?
1:06:42 Caller Okay, about nine months ago, I started dating my boyfriend, ex-boyfriend now. And we broke up, like, we were engaged. We broke up, like, two weeks ago. And it was, because he found, he found this girl, he says, it's more, has more in common with him than we did.
1:07:01 Adam Right.
1:07:01 Drew How long were you together with him?
1:07:03 Adam Nine months. All right.
1:07:05 Drew And you were getting married until all of a sudden, pow, he's gone?
1:07:08 Caller Yeah. I called him one night, and he's telling me, oh, we should be just, just be friends, and...
1:07:15 Drew All right. So what's the question? He's done. He's over. It wasn't what he thought it was.
1:07:21 Caller And now I'm sort of being friends with his, his best friend, this guy, Robert.
1:07:28 Adam Yeah.
1:07:29 Drew And this is the night of the...
1:07:30 Fuel We've heard this before.
1:07:31 Drew Yeah, the friends waiting on the sidelines.
1:07:32 Fuel We've heard this before.
1:07:33 Adam Robert Arnold.
1:07:35 Fuel Yeah, he's been sitting on the...
1:07:36 Drew Robert Benedict Arnold.
1:07:37 Adam Wait, was Benedict Arnold, was Benedict the guy's first name?
1:07:41 Drew Yeah.
1:07:41 Adam Oh, he's a BR.
1:07:41 Caller Arnold.
1:07:42 Fuel Will the real Benedict Arnold please stand up?
1:07:44 Adam You think he's related to Tom Arnold?
1:07:46 Caller Oh, yeah.
1:07:47 Fuel He's probably a little thinner.
1:07:49 Fuel Yeah.
1:07:50 Adam So, Julie, yeah, and you like his friend now?
1:07:53 Caller Yeah. Well, we were in... We brought an ex-boyfriend, Ryan, and we were engaged for like nine months.
1:07:58 Adam Right.
1:07:59 Caller And now he's getting close to the same way... Close to his girl the same way we were. They're going to get married now, and she's... She's going to move in with him, and...
1:08:12 Adam Wait a minute.
1:08:12 Fuel He's only been seeing her two weeks.
1:08:14 Caller Something like that.
1:08:15 Drew Just count your blessings. You're away from this guy.
1:08:18 Fuel Yeah.
1:08:18 Drew Yeah. This is not a healthy guy.
1:08:19 Fuel And, you know, in all honesty, on my end of it is, I think 19 is too young to get married anyway.
1:08:23 Drew Oh, yes.
1:08:24 Fuel I think you have a whole life ahead of you, kiddo.
1:08:27 Fuel Go ahead and sow your oats.
1:08:29 Drew Just count your blessings. This is a guy who doesn't know what he wants. Any port in the storm he fuses with, and it becomes an idealized relationship. It's not based on reality.
1:08:37 Fuel It probably would have been a real ugly marriage anyway.
1:08:39 Drew I was going to say, this is the kind of guy that will have to have lots and lots of these idealized and arousing relationships.
1:08:44 Fuel Yeah, it's very indecisive.
1:08:46 Fuel And you would have been probably hurt over and over and over again. It sounds like you're a real nice girl. You probably would have hung in your marriage, taken all the hits for this guy. I haven't. Well, don't do it anymore.
1:08:57 Drew Forget it. No.
1:08:59 Fuel Stay single for a while. Go on and enjoy yourself.
1:09:01 Fuel Roll off and hit Benedict.
1:09:02 Drew Read a book called Codependent No More.
1:09:04 Adam All right. Julie, just forget about this guy. Well, you know, take up with his friend. Why not?
1:09:10 Caller I call him like every so often and he's like, what? He's not here. And I still want to be my ex's friend, but.
1:09:18 Fuel Don't worry about it.
1:09:19 Adam No.
1:09:19 Fuel Shake it off.
1:09:20 Adam You don't want to be his friend.
1:09:21 Fuel Shake it off.
1:09:21 Drew You want to get back in with him.
1:09:22 Adam You want to have contact with him. Yeah.
1:09:24 Drew That's no.
1:09:25 Adam My God.
1:09:25 Fuel He's going to burn you.
1:09:28 Adam Does it ever happen where somebody really needs to be friends with somebody three or four weeks after they break up?
1:09:34 Drew Women are a little more healthy that way. They don't like to have the loss of the person. The man, the whole thing is like, oh, get me out of here. It also feels a little guilty and ashamed. He doesn't want to be anywhere near it. Women are much healthier. It's like, hey, this is somebody I care about. I don't want to lose that person from my life.
1:09:51 Adam I know. But how often does it ever work out?
1:09:53 Drew No.
1:09:53 Adam Are you friends with anybody you've dated? Your wife wouldn't let you do that.
1:09:58 Fuel Guys just think of all the guilt-free sex I can have now with all the other girls.
1:10:02 Adam Right. And then they get into a little maintenance program with the yaks. It's a disaster. Just walk away. Thank you. Jay?
1:10:11 Drew Yeah. Jay, you got a follow-up question?
1:10:13 Caller I have two more questions, actually.
1:10:15 Drew All right. Let's finish with Jay.
1:10:17 Caller First question was, I have a friend of mine, he was trying to get me to use like a steroid or a growth hormone, and he said that would help.
1:10:24 Drew Jay, please. Please. Please. Please. Don't do that. Do not do that. That is ridiculous.
1:10:29 Caller Would it kill me if I, I mean...
1:10:32 Drew Listen, are you doing drugs or alcohol or something also?
1:10:35 Caller No, just on the Zoloft, that's why.
1:10:37 Drew You don't take any drugs, you don't drink a lot.
1:10:40 Caller Well, I did steroids before.
1:10:42 Drew All right. Well, that may be why you're having the problems you're having.
1:10:45 Caller Okay.
1:10:45 Drew Okay. Steroids, and by the way, there's a tremendous cross addiction with steroids and other stimulants. Do you have a history of speed or cocaine or anything?
1:10:52 Caller No, just a growth hormone.
1:10:55 Drew This is a, this has nothing but adverse effects on your body and lots of them. And mood disturbances are one of the more common problems we see from steroids.
1:11:06 Caller Yeah.
1:11:06 Adam Were we talking to Jay before?
1:11:07 Drew Yeah, yeah. He didn't finish with us. He wanted to do that.
1:11:09 Adam Yeah, we were done.
1:11:10 Drew Well, what's the other question?
1:11:11 Caller The other one was, Goodbye. How do I tell if the doctor is qualified?
1:11:18 Drew You ask for a psychiatry consultation. You want to see a psychiatrist.
1:11:22 Caller He did send me to one and he sent me back to my physician.
1:11:26 Drew All right. Then you go back to that psychiatrist and say, This isn't working. This is not good. Okay?
1:11:30 Fuel Second opinion time.
1:11:31 Drew And you tell them about the steroids. You tell them about the steroids. That's important information.
1:11:35 Adam And don't see anyone in the city of Whittier. Not a great, it's not the cradle of mental health over there. What psychiatrist worth his weight in salt would be in Whittier?
1:11:46 Caller They must be in Whittier, sure.
1:11:47 Adam No.
1:11:49 Fuel You think they'd probably need a lot of them there, though.
1:11:52 Drew They're just driving down that avenue of cars.
1:11:54 Adam I know. But that's the thing. You go to Whittier when you need a good port job done on the heads of your boss 302. You don't go to Whittier for mental health. Nate?
1:12:06 Yeah?
1:12:07 Adam You're 19?
1:12:07 Caller Yep.
1:12:08 Adam What's up?
1:12:09 Caller I just got a question for Fuel.
1:12:10 Adam Hear that?
1:12:11 Caller You guys are great. I listen to you all the time. Thank you. Thanks. And Dr. Drew, my favorite part of the show is when you just chime in and say, you're gay. I think that's a lot of fun.
1:12:19 Drew You're gay.
1:12:20 Adam There you go.
1:12:21 Caller Thanks. That's great.
1:12:22 Drew That's actually Anderson chiming in. That's not me.
1:12:25 Caller Per se.
1:12:26 Drew It is.
1:12:28 Fuel It's a sample there, bro.
1:12:29 Caller Right.
1:12:30 Drew You're fat. Yeah, you're fat. You're gay.
1:12:33 Fuel Okay. Which question?
1:12:35 Drew You're lesbian.
1:12:36 Caller Well, what's the motivation behind Hemorrhage in My Hand? What's it really mean? What's it about?
1:12:40 Fuel It's actually, Carl wrote the song about his grandmother, who got diagnosed with cancer.
1:12:47 Caller Really?
1:12:48 Fuel Yeah. When Carl's mom had come to Carl to tell him, the look on her face was something Carl couldn't really explain. And it kind of haunted him.
1:13:01 Fuel Wow. And she was on her deathbed, and she just looked at his mother and looked at him and just said, how do you die? Words like that can really leave a large lump in your throat. So it spawned a-
1:13:24 Fuel I mean, imagine one of your parents looking at you going, hey man, how do you die? Yeah. Because she was in so much pain.
1:13:30 Fuel It's a tough thing.
1:13:31 Drew Help me die.
1:13:32 Fuel And now she said, how do you die?
1:13:33 Drew How do you die?
1:13:34 Fuel She just wanted, you know, she was just like, how do you die? She just had no will to live anymore. So if you really dig through the song and tear it up, you'll get it now. You'll see it.
1:13:43 Fuel It's one of those things, you know, it's inevitable, you know, you're sitting there waiting, you know. It's a hard thing.
1:13:50 Adam Hey, Nate. Yeah. I'm glad you asked that because that's the next song we're going to hear. So it'll be a good time for everyone to turn it up and examine it.
1:13:59 Fuel Dissect it.
1:14:00 Adam Right. All right, Nate. Thanks for the question. And here it is, Hammer It In My Hands. Wow, that sounded great. The story before really gave it a poignancy. I just left the headphones on and cranked it up for that. There you go. Wow, it sounded great.
1:18:04 Drew It was kind of rude in fact, we were talking to him.
1:18:06 Adam Yeah, I was rocking and I was looking down at the lyrics and reading along and hearing the headphones. And there's nothing, I mean, Drew, you don't do this too much, but we pipe it in over the speakers in here. But something about the headphones that...
1:18:22 Fuel You get the stereo imaging in them.
1:18:23 Adam Much more intimate environment in your own head what those stereo phones are. Oh yeah, headphones, or cans, I like to call them actually, you're right.
1:18:30 Fuel You're a pro.
1:18:31 Adam Thank you. Where are we here? Tracy?
1:18:36 Caller Hi.
1:18:37 Adam What's up?
1:18:38 Caller Okay. I took birth control for about four years and I just recently switched to an IUD. And before I was on birth control, I had irregular periods and now I'm starting to have irregular periods again and it really sucks.
1:18:57 Drew Well, that's what your cycles normally are, you're irregular. Unless you take over with the pill, you're going to be irregular.
1:19:04 Caller There's no other thing other than the pill too.
1:19:09 Drew You could take Depo Prevara and get rid of your cycles altogether.
1:19:12 Fuel How healthy is that?
1:19:14 Drew It seems okay. I don't like that because there's a lot of side effects from it.
1:19:20 Fuel That's what I heard.
1:19:21 Fuel Is it the shot?
1:19:23 Fuel Yeah, it just completely eliminates the...
1:19:27 Drew Even nowadays they're advocating that women take the pills continuously and don't menstruate at all. You can do that also. I've heard about that as well.
1:19:35 Adam What's a norplant do to you? Does that take away your period?
1:19:40 Drew I still think you menstruate on the norplant.
1:19:42 Caller I believe.
1:19:43 Adam I didn't.
1:19:43 Caller My doctor said it was unhealthy to take...
1:19:46 Adam But I ate it, so I may have screwed that up.
1:19:48 Drew To take what?
1:19:49 Caller To take the pill so that you didn't take the sugar pills. He said it was really unhealthy to do that.
1:19:55 Drew Well, is she a gynecologist?
1:19:57 Caller No, he's not.
1:19:58 Drew Most gynecologists would say that's an okay thing to do, but it's something open for debate.
1:20:03 Caller Okay.
1:20:03 Drew Okay, but the Depo-Provera shot would take your periods away. But you said you have an IUD in there, right?
1:20:11 Caller Yeah.
1:20:12 Drew So you're done. That's it for contraception. You don't need anything else.
1:20:15 Caller So, but there's still like a chance and every time, now that my periods are irregular.
1:20:20 Drew No, Tracy, no, no, no, no, that's ridiculous. That you have an IUD, you're fine. What is it about the irregular periods that bothers you so much?
1:20:27 Adam Tracy?
1:20:28 Caller Yeah.
1:20:29 Adam What is that?
1:20:30 Fuel Because she never knows when they're coming and she can't make plans, right?
1:20:32 Drew What is it that bothers you so much about the irregular periods?
1:20:36 Caller I don't want children.
1:20:37 Drew You're not going to have them. You have an IUD in. You're fine.
1:20:40 Caller Really?
1:20:41 Drew That is an extremely effective contraception.
1:20:43 Caller Okay.
1:20:44 Adam All right?
1:20:45 Caller Okay.
1:20:45 Drew That's fine. Relax.
1:20:46 Adam Good times.
1:20:47 Caller Thank you.
1:20:47 Drew Yeah, relax.
1:20:49 Adam I had my possum on Norplant.
1:20:51 Fuel I was going to say, nobody likes a bloody possum.
1:20:53 Drew Your possum.
1:20:54 Adam Bloody possum. That would be a good name for a band. There you go.
1:20:57 Fuel Ladies and gentlemen, bloody possum.
1:21:04 Fuel Ladies, it's great to be here. Child all the way over. Coats a little rough.
1:21:10 Adam I was sitting in my comedy office today, and I don't know why we're talking. We were working on something. We were making up bands, hard edge bands that didn't exist, and someone came up with Hateplow.
1:21:24 Fuel That's pretty good.
1:21:25 Adam That's a good tough name for a band.
1:21:27 Fuel Yeah. That's something I might just call a grudge. Never mind.
1:21:31 Adam You'd see like Hateplow, Bloody Possum, and Narfax. All on the same Narfax.
1:21:38 Fuel Special guest Queef.
1:21:39 Caller Queef.
1:21:43 Fuel I always thought Crush Baby Ducks was good.
1:21:45 Adam Yeah, but it ended up getting abbreviated and shortened.
1:21:49 Fuel Yeah.
1:21:50 Adam Well, though Hateplow probably turned into HP. Hey, Kim?
1:21:54 Fuel Yes.
1:21:55 Adam You're 20?
1:21:56 Caller Yes, I am.
1:21:57 Adam What's up?
1:21:58 Caller Hi.
1:21:59 Caller Hi, Brett and Kevin.
1:22:00 Fuel Hello.
1:22:01 Caller I'm a big Fuel fan.
1:22:03 Fuel Big Fool fan.
1:22:05 Caller Yes. I saw you guys play at the Whiskey last December. I went to the show by myself because I loved Hemorrhage.
1:22:13 Caller I just sit in the corner and watch you guys.
1:22:15 Caller I'm absolutely in love and I've seen you guys seven times since then. Thank you. I saw you at the Universal City Walk appearance last January or whatever it was and was able to get a picture with you guys. And since then, all your appearances and concerts, I haven't been able to be able to meet you guys and get like anything signed because I wasn't prepared that time. So I was just wondering, I was at the two shows in LA last night and Saturday night and you guys were unbelievable.
1:22:45 Fuel And so your question is, how can you get to us to get us?
1:22:49 Caller I'm going to be at the House of Blues on Wednesday.
1:22:52 Fuel I don't understand. We couldn't have been any more accessible, so unless you were hiding in the closet.
1:22:57 Caller Well, we were, we hung around for a long time. We actually had some friends that said they were going to be able to go backstage and we stayed there forever and nothing happened.
1:23:08 Fuel Well, we had huge meet and greets before the show. We had after show parties with Nescafé.
1:23:14 Adam What about the boys from Hate Plow and Bloody Possum were there hanging out?
1:23:20 Caller So I was wondering, on Wednesday, I'm going to be there and where should I go? What should I do? Because when I was there at the House of Blues in LA.
1:23:29 Fuel Baby, you always got to hang out by the busses or the limos.
1:23:31 Fuel I tell you what, after we're done talking, stay on the line and they will get your information and stuff. We'll put you on the list and you can come back and meet us at the meet and greet and stuff.
1:23:39 Fuel Oh boy.
1:23:40 Adam Thanks, Jim. That would be awesome. All right.
1:23:42 Fuel Somebody will take your information.
1:23:44 Adam Are you going alone again? Okay, good. It's hard corn. It's a real compliment, but I could never go to, would you imagine going to a concert alone? I can't eat alone. I can't eat a sandwich alone. I can't go down the corner and get a meatball sub unless someone goes with me.
1:24:00 Fuel I'm the same way. I'll wake up today at the hotel and I'll call up my basement. You want to go to IHOP?
1:24:06 Adam You know what's funny?
1:24:06 Fuel I can't do it. I'm not going to sit here and eat by my loser.
1:24:09 Adam It's funny when you invest the first two hours in trying to get people to do stuff that would have taken you half an hour. You're on your 18th phone call. Hey dude, I know we haven't talked since high school. Oh, Adam, Adam Corolla. That's right. We had Mr. Sopanzi. Listen, I'm hungry. Are you hungry?
1:24:25 Fuel You want to eat?
1:24:26 Drew Are you hungry?
1:24:26 Adam You're living in Seattle? Oh.
1:24:28 Fuel Well, I'll fly there. We'll go get something to eat.
1:24:30 Adam What are you doing for dinner?
1:24:31 Fuel How am I going to eat?
1:24:32 Caller How am I going to eat?
1:24:33 Fuel How about if you just order something and we eat at the same time over the phone?
1:24:37 Adam Right. I'll put you on speakerphone.
1:24:38 Fuel Right. We can hear each other, too.
1:24:39 Adam Yeah. People play chess over the phone.
1:24:41 Fuel How's your pasta?
1:24:43 Adam Okay. I'm the same with movies. Movies and food. But concert, I think, would be way at the top of the list of things I just couldn't do alone.
1:24:52 Fuel It's really hard to mosh by yourself. I just run around in a little circle.
1:24:57 Adam But that is the dedication of the Fuel fans.
1:25:00 Fuel That's awesome.
1:25:01 Fuel You never have someone else that can wait in the beer line for you.
1:25:03 Caller Right. Yeah.
1:25:04 Adam You go wait in the beer line. I'm taking a leak.
1:25:06 Fuel You got to go to the head.
1:25:07 Adam All right. We'll take a little break. We'll be back with Fuel after this.
1:25:12 Caller Hello. This is your radio. Loveline will be right back.
1:25:51 Adam Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Drew. Brett and Kevin are both here from Fuel. Something Like Human is the name of the CD. I appreciate Brett and Kevin, especially Brett because Brett looks like a Brett, and Kevin looks pretty much like a Kevin too, but Brett really looks like Brett.
1:26:12 Fuel I look like Brett?
1:26:13 Adam It's easier to remember people's names when they look like who they are.
1:26:16 Fuel Right.
1:26:16 Fuel Good thing my name's not like Iggy or...
1:26:19 Fuel Svend?
1:26:20 Adam Yeah, once in a while you run into that guy who doesn't look like his name and you'll never remember it.
1:26:25 Fuel Right.
1:26:25 Adam Because it just doesn't work. It's like you see the guy, there's a list of possible names and his name is not on it. So how could it be something else? Yeah.
1:26:35 Fuel My name's at the top of the list of names I do look like, I guess.
1:26:39 Adam It's in the top three. Yeah.
1:26:41 Drew Yeah, Brett.
1:26:42 Adam Right?
1:26:42 Fuel Yeah. Okay.
1:26:43 Adam Thank you. Have you been told that before?
1:26:47 Drew No.
1:26:48 Fuel That's the first.
1:26:48 Adam But people are pretty good with your name, right?
1:26:51 Fuel I guess.
1:26:51 Drew That'll screw it up a lot.
1:26:52 Adam Yeah.
1:26:52 Fuel Considering when he steps out, everybody goes, Brett.
1:26:55 Fuel That's probably him, not me.
1:26:56 Adam Everybody in the audience. Right. Kevin's pretty good.
1:26:58 Fuel But they do tell me I sing really well, which amazes me every time I hear it.
1:27:04 Adam Kevin looks like a Kevin too. Yeah. Jenny?
1:27:07 Yes.
1:27:08 Adam But not as much as Brett does. You're 23.
1:27:11 Caller I'm 23.
1:27:12 Adam What's up?
1:27:13 Caller Well, actually, my sister, long history, I guess, short. Sexual abuse, alcoholism, physical abuse, mental abuse.
1:27:22 Adam All perfectly natural and perfectly healthy.
1:27:25 Caller Perfectly normal.
1:27:25 Drew We should have sort of, we should have like, abbreviations. Yeah, Loveline caller A, Loveline caller B.
1:27:31 Adam Right.
1:27:31 Caller Anyway.
1:27:32 Caller And your father?
1:27:33 Caller Father died when I was 12. I have an older sister and an older brother. My older sister had the, followed after my father and became an alcoholic. She's been recovering for about 10 years, yay.
1:27:49 Adam Did your dad abuse you sexually?
1:27:52 Caller Actually, me, I'm not sure about. I haven't really explored that whole part aspect. It hasn't really become, I know the baggage is always there and I'm aware of it. My sister went through more of the psychotherapy and remembers being abused herself. By him. Right, by him. Hasn't told me if I was, she was six years older than me though, and so I was pretty young when he died.
1:28:19 Drew So what is it about her?
1:28:20 Caller Okay, about her. She's been married for five years, and when she got sober, she was the great one of the family, breaking the cycle. You know, oh, Stacey's so good. Her husband came along and he was also recovering, had more years than her, and everybody thought he was wonderful. They've been married five years, two and a half years ago. I actually moved away from the family, and she confided in me that he is bisexual.
1:28:47 Drew So what, he's married?
1:28:49 Caller Yeah, he's married, but he is not monogamous.
1:28:53 Adam So he's with guys.
1:28:54 Caller He is with guys, and she knew that before.
1:28:56 Fuel With her consent or without?
1:28:57 Caller With consent, with guys, not.
1:28:59 Fuel Then what's the problem?
1:29:00 Caller He's bisexual.
1:29:01 Drew With her consent?
1:29:02 Caller With her consent.
1:29:03 Fuel Well, then, okay.
1:29:05 Caller Okay, but the problem is he's very casual about it. She's never been tested for AIDS at all, and I'm worried about more of a health concern than anything, and I don't know where the actual privacy line lies between my brother and sister and my mom and I are all very close. My dad's death really brought us together. I mean, we really don't have...
1:29:26 Drew A giant celebration.
1:29:27 Adam Yeah, your rich choice, like the Munchkins did when the house fell on the witch.
1:29:31 Fuel Is she having sex with his male partners as well, or...?
1:29:35 Caller No, she's not.
1:29:36 Fuel No menage-a-trois going on there?
1:29:38 Caller This came as a total shock to me.
1:29:40 Caller All right.
1:29:40 Adam Do they have kids?
1:29:42 Caller No, they don't. Good.
1:29:43 Drew No, not with this guy.
1:29:44 Caller All right.
1:29:45 Adam Here's the deal, though. No kids until this guy stabilizes.
1:29:49 Caller Well, I know this, and I'm married, too, and it's been a big concern because her husband, I don't think it's more of a genetic thing with him. He was also sexually abused by a man when he was little.
1:30:01 Caller Right.
1:30:01 Caller And I think that these urges or behavior comes from that.
1:30:06 Drew Of course.
1:30:06 Adam Nature and nurture, he's still into the dudes.
1:30:09 Caller Exactly.
1:30:10 Adam And it's going to be hard to talk him out of it.
1:30:12 Caller Exactly. And she has talked to me a couple of times and tried to convince me that it doesn't matter when he's with another man. He has, you know, web pages out advertising his sexuality. He'll get all of these things.
1:30:27 Drew Here's the reality. Here's the reality. The doctor says.
1:30:29 Adam He's doing gay porn as we speak.
1:30:32 Drew Intimacy suffers when he is engaged.
1:30:35 Caller They don't have sex.
1:30:36 Caller She has no desire to have sex with him at all.
1:30:38 Adam Jenny, first off, I don't even know my sister has boobs. God forbid I should ever have any discussion with her about what her husband's doing to her or not doing to her. I don't even want to know.
1:30:48 Fuel Especially if he was hitting the wrong side of the possum.
1:30:51 Adam Right. Her kids were all delivered c-section. I insisted on that. I didn't want one of the kids tainted by my sister's vagina.
1:31:00 Fuel You'd never be able to kiss them on the forehead, would you?
1:31:03 Adam That's right. You're having horrible conversations with your with your screwed up to you. Your sister's sober and she's done some therapy but she's still a mass. This guy's a world-class mess. This guy's a disaster.
1:31:15 Drew In fact, Jenny, they're not sober, are they?
1:31:20 Caller No way.
1:31:21 Drew No way. No way are they sober.
1:31:23 Caller No way. No way.
1:31:26 Adam No way.
1:31:28 Drew They're doing something else. Did they have the prescription medication or something?
1:31:31 Fuel Did you meet John yet?
1:31:32 Drew Are they taking some prescription medication, Clonopin or Ativan or something?
1:31:35 Caller They're very adamant. They will not take any prescription medication. They will not. I mean...
1:31:39 Adam He's mainlining semen though.
1:31:41 Fuel Yeah.
1:31:42 Adam That's what I hear.
1:31:43 Fuel Yeah, but...
1:31:44 Adam Hey, Jenny.
1:31:45 Fuel He's got a lot of protein in his diet.
1:31:47 Adam Jenny, Jenny, two things.
1:31:48 Drew Unless they're relation with a sponsor, they're not sober.
1:31:50 Adam Here's the deal. You tell your... If you have an open dialogue with your sister, you have to say, look, you cannot even begin to think about having kids with this guy. That's number one. And number two, you can talk to her about the safety issue. But then after that, you've got to move on. You're married. You've got your own life. That's right.
1:32:08 Drew That's all you can do, right?
1:32:10 Fuel I think it's only too long. Eventually, he'll just say, he's full blown.
1:32:14 Drew Yeah, that's right.
1:32:16 Fuel He's just going to kick that closet door right open. It's going to come off the hinges, guys.
1:32:19 Fuel Next thing you know, he's barring her dresses.
1:32:22 Adam I'm married. I'm on the Internet with the gay porn sites. I'm advertising.
1:32:26 Fuel Hey, you want to have kids?
1:32:27 Adam We're not having sex.
1:32:29 Fuel What is that?
1:32:29 Adam This is gay. What is that? By the way, bi for guys, unless maybe if you're Elton John, you can pull it off for a couple of years. But bi for adult males over 30, that's gay. They just don't want to be called old queens.
1:32:43 Fuel Right.
1:32:44 Adam They cling to this bi. I always say that bi is gay with a publicist. That means it's not popular to just come out and call yourself gay, but that's what you are.
1:32:55 Fuel But if you're gay, be gay. See, that's the thing, if you're going to be gay, be gay.
1:33:00 Adam Right. Be gay.
1:33:01 Fuel I think it bothers me more when a guy tries to hide that he's gay.
1:33:04 Drew There is an intermediate stage.
1:33:07 Adam Yeah, it's when you're confused and you're 19 and you're on your way to be gay.
1:33:11 Drew But there are people also who have the need to be with a woman. They feel that impulse as well.
1:33:17 Adam Because they can't stay in the thought of being gay.
1:33:19 Drew Maybe, but whatever it is, it's a real impulse. And this guy is sort of in there and it's not fair. He's using this woman.
1:33:27 Fuel Right, she's just wasting time, wasting precious years of her life.
1:33:31 Adam Let's talk to Charmilla. Charmilla?
1:33:35 Drew Hi.
1:33:36 Adam Hey.
1:33:38 Drew Is that really your name? Yeah, it is.
1:33:40 Adam Wow.
1:33:41 Caller Hi, Kevin.
1:33:43 Adam Do you know Charmilla?
1:33:45 Fuel What's up?
1:33:46 Caller Hey.
1:33:48 Caller So I have a question.
1:33:50 Caller I actually had a-
1:33:51 Drew Is Charmilla a punchline for Kevin? Does he know who you are?
1:33:54 Caller Yeah, I was at the concert in San Francisco.
1:33:57 Fuel Hey, what's up?
1:33:59 Adam Uh-oh. That's why he got divorced.
1:34:03 Fuel No.
1:34:03 Adam Showed a little Sharma, a little bit of a big bang. So what's going on?
1:34:06 Caller Not much.
1:34:08 Caller I had a surprising phone call from my mother.
1:34:10 Caller She, I'm coming home for Thanksgiving. Basically, she told me that there's a boy that I'm Indian, and she wants to arrange me with someone.
1:34:21 Adam An arrange marriage?
1:34:22 Drew You're American Indian or you Indian Indian?
1:34:24 Caller I'm Indian Indian, American Indian.
1:34:26 Fuel Like Bombay, aren't you?
1:34:28 Caller Right.
1:34:28 Adam Right. They don't have arrange marriages in the TP Indian.
1:34:31 Drew But she said I'm Indian Indian, American Indian.
1:34:34 Fuel No, no, American Indian. She's from Bombay.
1:34:36 Drew Okay.
1:34:36 Fuel I think she's nervous. Okay.
1:34:37 Adam Right. All right. And you want, you're saying that this is, it's time for Kevin to step up and.
1:34:44 Fuel No, no, no. No, no, no. We had a conversation. Save her, Kevin. Save her. The funny thing is her and I talked about this because I said to her, like, wow, I know if you're Indian, it's really hard. Like suppose you were really attracted to an Anglo guy. Like your parents would be like, uh-uh.
1:35:00 Adam Like a drummer, right? Right?
1:35:03 Fuel And she said, yeah, my dad would probably kill you, you know what I mean? Like, or any guy that I brought home because.
1:35:08 Adam Is that?
1:35:09 Fuel So that's what and then here she's calling to say that they're arranging a marriage for her. So man, I'll tell you what, if mom and dad get that much bucks, man, I'm kicking in. Let's go. I'll take the beating.
1:35:20 Adam Are they rich, your parents?
1:35:23 Caller My father's a doctor.
1:35:24 Adam Yeah.
1:35:25 Drew In my, in these days that doesn't mean crap.
1:35:28 Adam Am I right to say though, hold on. Here's my impression of India. You tell me if I'm wrong. I've never been there. One half of the country are MDs and the other half stand barefoot in fecal matter and plant handle. There's no intermediate, there's no blue collar Indian jobs. Everyone's a doctor or everyone is just incredibly, incredibly poor.
1:35:47 Caller I was a very small middle class.
1:35:49 Adam You're right. So, and a lot of the doctors come out here and that's what your dad did, right?
1:35:53 Caller Right.
1:35:54 Adam Now he wants you to marry an Indian.
1:35:57 Caller Right. Right.
1:35:57 Adam And you don't want to do it.
1:35:58 Fuel You didn't meet this guy yet, right?
1:36:00 Caller No, I haven't met him. That's the whole point.
1:36:03 Fuel And you're nervous.
1:36:04 Caller Yeah.
1:36:04 Fuel Now, do they want to take you back to India or you get to stay here in the States?
1:36:08 Caller Well, it's not, I mean, I'm not going to listen to them, but it's not how to deal with it. Are you out of the house?
1:36:12 Adam What? Are you out of the house?
1:36:13 Caller Yeah. Yeah. I'm living in California now.
1:36:16 Adam And what is it? Well, here's, well, they're never going to understand this, but when you come and I...
1:36:21 Fuel She's a fashion designer.
1:36:22 Adam I want to... Oh, you are?
1:36:23 Fuel Yeah.
1:36:24 Caller Well, I'm in fashion.
1:36:25 Fuel In fashion.
1:36:27 Adam They, what people from other countries have to understand is they come to this country for a reason, and they can't expect to come to this country to to sort of involve themselves in our culture and not have our culture involve themselves with their kids.
1:36:44 Fuel Right.
1:36:44 Adam You know, you can't have it, you can't have it always. You can't come here looking for a better life and then create a little New Delhi in the middle of San Francisco and never have your kid leave it. It's unrealistic, and the reason this country is the greatest country on earth is because we have this diversity and this intermingling, and we have a lot of mutts running around, and they're the healthiest breeds. I mean, the mutt dogs are the ones that live until 18, and the ones that get hit by trucks and then don't even limp, they just walk away, and it's all those inbred little lap dogs that end up having hip replacement at four years old and stuff. You got to tell your dad this, you know, Indian's good, but you guys need a little cross-pollinization over that.
1:37:28 Drew You tell him genetic diversity is healthy for a population.
1:37:31 Fuel Right.
1:37:32 Adam That's right.
1:37:33 Caller No, I agree.
1:37:35 Adam All right.
1:37:35 Caller You just, you're out of the house.
1:37:36 Fuel So basically, you're calling me, you want me to call your father?
1:37:41 Drew Sharmila's really your name, huh?
1:37:42 Adam Yeah.
1:37:44 Drew There's a book called A Bad Case of Stripes. You ever heard that book?
1:37:47 Adam No.
1:37:48 Drew The kids book.
1:37:49 Adam Hey, Sharmila, what's the Indian guy's name? Just because it'll be funny.
1:37:55 Caller I think it's Raj.
1:37:57 Adam What is it?
1:37:57 Drew Raj.
1:38:00 Adam That's like John.
1:38:01 Fuel Hold on. What does Raj do?
1:38:03 Adam Raj.
1:38:03 Fuel Raj.
1:38:04 Caller Yo Raj, what's up?
1:38:06 Caller Hey, Raj, what's happening?
1:38:09 Caller What's happening?
1:38:10 Fuel Okay. So, okay, what does he do?
1:38:12 Adam Places it.
1:38:13 Caller Probably a doctor and engineer or something. I'd much rather marry a rocker.
1:38:18 Fuel Marry a rocker? You want to marry a rocker?
1:38:21 Drew You're going to put your dad in the ground.
1:38:23 Fuel For sure.
1:38:23 Caller Fine.
1:38:25 Fuel When do you get to meet him?
1:38:26 Caller Run away.
1:38:28 Fuel It's not like you meet him when you walk up the aisle, do you? Is it?
1:38:32 Fuel Yeah. They just pop a veil over her face and that's it. Like boom, boom.
1:38:35 Fuel Is that what it is? Seriously?
1:38:37 Fuel Yeah.
1:38:37 Adam How does this arranged marriage work?
1:38:40 Caller Typically, I mean, it's getting better these days where you get to court for a while. Right. And then eventually marry. But still, I mean, it's like...
1:38:52 Fuel Well, I mean, I would say go home and it may work out. Do you know what I mean? You may find a guy really attractive or something. He might have a nice possum.
1:39:01 Adam He might be a stud. Maybe Raj isn't so hot on it either. I mean, you never look at it from that side.
1:39:06 Fuel You guys might get together on the side and go, look.
1:39:08 Adam Yeah.
1:39:09 Fuel And we just tell both our parents to kiss off.
1:39:11 Adam Yeah.
1:39:11 Fuel Just wear the nastiest clothing you possibly can have in your closet.
1:39:16 Adam Make it like a sitcom episode from the 70s where you just show up belching. And you do this thing where you play the violin real bad. And you say, I practice four hours a day, every day.
1:39:26 Fuel And just tell them you just ate a meal. Just tell them you just ate a meal and the curry is killing you.
1:39:31 Adam All right. Belch it up in his face. OK, listen, I just I got to tell everybody this. This is the greatest country in the world. And look, I just I don't want any of our listeners to take offense. But the reason you left whatever dump you came from to come to this great nation of ours is because your country sucked. I mean, just admit it. That's why you're here. There's no getting over that. You know why you can hear my voice and I can't hear the voice of the people who speak on the radio in your country is because you're here and we're not there. So that's fine. We appreciate it. We're glad that you've come to make a contribution to our country. But as far as clinging to the old ways of the old world, the reason that place you left was a dump is because of all those horrible traditions you have. You understand? So just give them up. You just leave them right at the airport when you get on the plane or on the boat and you come on over. The worst is people that come here and they constantly cling to all this old garbage. This tradition.
1:40:29 Fuel Where's that at the airport? I don't see I should say please leave tradition.
1:40:32 Adam Check your tradition. Thank you.
1:40:35 Fuel Well, thank you.
1:40:37 Adam All right. Fuel is here and we'll take a break.
1:40:41 Drew Hello. This is Loveline.
1:40:44 Fuel Winning every love one night one.
1:40:45 Caller Loveline will be right back.
1:41:10 Caller Hey, this is Eddie K. Thomas from American Pie, and you're listening to the two smartest people that will be born back in here in America.
1:41:18 Adam Thanks, I think. Kevin's in the studio now. I just got off the phone with Tashmina.
1:41:23 Fuel Tashmina. Tashmina.
1:41:26 Adam Trying to get his dignity back.
1:41:28 Fuel No, I didn't lose any dignity.
1:41:30 Fuel I think you proposed.
1:41:31 Adam We, Fuel is here tonight. Brent and Kevin are both in the studio. They'll be at the House of Blues on Wednesday, not the one up on Sunset, but the one in Orange County, right?
1:41:43 Fuel Anaheim.
1:41:44 Adam Oh, Anaheim. That's not in Orange County. Is that in Orange County?
1:41:47 Fuel Yeah.
1:41:48 Adam All right. That's good. I was born and bred here. I'm not sure what's in Orange County. Danny?
1:41:55 Drew Oh, he's sleeping. He is sleeping.
1:42:05 Fuel Danny?
1:42:05 Adam Danny's been on hold for 73 minutes.
1:42:07 Fuel Wow. He gave up.
1:42:09 Adam All right.
1:42:10 Drew I'd say he won't let her have a boyfriend.
1:42:12 Fuel Danny, if you can hear this.
1:42:13 Drew The question is, why won't her mom let her have a boyfriend?
1:42:16 Caller All right.
1:42:17 Adam Teresa?
1:42:18 Caller Yeah.
1:42:19 Adam You're 40?
1:42:20 Caller Yeah.
1:42:20 Adam Yeah. Don't listen to Anderson or whoever said that in your ear that it was a chick or a guy. What's up, Teresa? You're 40. You want to know if cyber sex is cheating?
1:42:29 Caller Yeah.
1:42:30 Adam You're married?
1:42:31 Caller Yeah.
1:42:31 Adam What are you doing? Or is your husband doing it?
1:42:33 Caller Well, it's actually me.
1:42:36 Adam Okay. And what are you doing?
1:42:38 Caller Well, I talk to a guy on the Internet.
1:42:41 Drew Same guy?
1:42:42 Adam Same guy?
1:42:44 Caller Yeah.
1:42:45 Adam And how long have you been doing this?
1:42:47 Caller Um, about two weeks, three weeks.
1:42:50 Drew I think that most guys would not be particularly disturbed about this. They'd be a little threatened about the fact that it's the same guy, that they fantasize that somehow you're going to meet up with this guy.
1:42:58 Fuel Do you live close to him?
1:43:00 Caller Uh, no.
1:43:01 Fuel Do you have your guys exchange photos?
1:43:03 Caller Um, well, he sent me pictures, but I haven't sent him any.
1:43:07 Fuel Were they clothed pictures, non-clothed pictures?
1:43:10 Fuel Was it actually him?
1:43:12 Caller Well, let's hope so.
1:43:14 Fuel Can you tell the airbrushing?
1:43:15 Drew Why haven't you said it?
1:43:16 Adam I got a big red ad on the back of it.
1:43:18 Drew Why haven't you?
1:43:19 Fuel Marlboro, man.
1:43:20 Fuel Are you attracted to this guy on his photos?
1:43:23 Caller Um, well, in some ways, yes.
1:43:27 Drew Why haven't you sent a picture?
1:43:28 Caller Well, I don't have a digital camera, so that's kind of a problem.
1:43:32 Adam Oh, I see.
1:43:32 Caller The thing is, it's really exciting, and I...
1:43:36 Drew You're fat.
1:43:37 Adam Drew, please.
1:43:38 Caller I do. I get into it, but... And I don't feel guilty, but everybody's telling me I should.
1:43:44 Adam Well, what's up with your marriage?
1:43:45 Drew See, that's the problem, is it... For a man to be doing this, most women would be disturbed about it. I think most men would not be overwhelmingly bothered by you doing it, although he'd be a little threatened about the fact that it's the same guy over and over again, for fear that you might meet him. But the bigger issue here is, what is deficient in your marriage that you feel the need to do this?
1:44:03 Caller Well, I think there's definitely something lacking, but not in that respect. I mean, I think it's emotional.
1:44:11 Drew Yeah, that's what we're talking about.
1:44:12 Caller Yeah.
1:44:13 Fuel What doesn't your husband give you that this guy is giving you? Do you still have sex? Is it the attention?
1:44:17 Caller Attention.
1:44:18 Fuel Do you still have sex?
1:44:19 Caller Yeah. Yeah.
1:44:20 Fuel Do you think of this guy now?
1:44:22 Caller No.
1:44:23 Fuel So when you're with your husband, you're with your husband?
1:44:24 Caller Right.
1:44:25 Fuel And it's good?
1:44:27 Caller Hmm?
1:44:27 Fuel And it's good?
1:44:28 Caller It's all right.
1:44:29 Fuel So the cyber sex is outwinning the actual physical sex?
1:44:33 Caller It is. And you know what the thing is, it's a lot more exciting than the physical sex.
1:44:37 Adam Do you masturbate?
1:44:38 Caller Do I? Of course.
1:44:40 Adam Oh, okay.
1:44:40 Fuel That's good. I don't know. All right. So hold on. Let me, you know, sorry, I was just shaving.
1:44:47 Caller Hey.
1:44:48 Adam Yeah. Hey, Theresa.
1:44:50 Caller You've been in my drawer.
1:44:51 Adam Listen, here's the deal. You don't feel real good about this, right?
1:44:54 Fuel I can hear some good.
1:44:55 Adam Right.
1:44:55 Caller So no, no, I do, actually.
1:44:58 Adam No, I know you don't feel like you're cheating, but you do feel like there's something up with the relationship that's not going right that you're avoiding.
1:45:04 Caller Right.
1:45:04 Adam And you're putting your energy into this cyber sex instead of into the relationship. Maybe it's your husband's fault because he won't put the energy into it. But that's where you got to focus.
1:45:13 Drew You got to get him to respond in ways that you need. People that write about this stuff talk about what might be called emotionally significant conversation. And that's what you're getting from across the web. You're not getting from your husband.
1:45:25 Adam She's getting a release.
1:45:25 Fuel How long are they married?
1:45:27 Adam Who cares? Danny? We've got to wrap it up here. You're awake, you're 14. You're a girl? No, I'm a boy. Oh, you're a boy. Sorry about that. And your girlfriend's mom is...
1:45:40 Drew Girlfriend's mom, I see.
1:45:41 Adam Oh, won't let her... Won't let your girlfriend do what?
1:45:44 Caller Won't let her actually go out with me. She doesn't want her to.
1:45:47 Adam Is she your girlfriend? Are you sure she is?
1:45:49 Caller Yeah. We've been going out since like two or three years ago. Since junior high, first year.
1:45:55 Fuel So, why doesn't she like you?
1:45:58 Caller Like, she likes me. It's just that she doesn't want her cousin, because we go to the same school now, her cousin and me. And, she doesn't want her cousin to know, so he doesn't tell her mom, so she doesn't get in trouble.
1:46:09 Adam Alright, but why doesn't, okay, so you're, wait a minute.
1:46:12 Drew Wait, why were you able to date two years ago, but not now?
1:46:15 Caller No, like, we're still dating, just her mom never knew about it.
1:46:18 Drew And now the mom is getting involved with this?
1:46:20 Caller Yeah, because of her cousin that goes to school with her.
1:46:22 Drew And the mom won't let her have a boyfriend no matter who it is?
1:46:26 Caller Won't let her have a boyfriend until she's sixteen.
1:46:28 Drew Okay.
1:46:29 Adam All right.
1:46:29 Caller Well, that's gonna be tough.
1:46:30 Fuel I think you're pretty much screwed.
1:46:32 Drew What if you hung out at the, at her house, got to know her mom a little bit?
1:46:35 Adam Chained yourself to a radiator or something and never left? That's not gonna work.
1:46:40 Fuel Have you met her mom?
1:46:41 Caller Uh, yeah.
1:46:42 Fuel Does her mom like you?
1:46:43 Caller Uh, yeah.
1:46:44 Fuel So why don't you just see if you guys can hang out at, at their house, like, under parental supervision?
1:46:50 Caller Okay.
1:46:51 Fuel Do you know what I mean? Like, go over there and go, look, everything's cool. You know, I'm not gonna try anything, just wanna hang out. I enjoyed spending time with your daughter. And we're gonna play some backgammon and have at it.
1:46:59 Adam Tell mom she can smell your fingers before you leave.
1:47:05 Fuel Hey, that's why I know dipping in the candy dish, man.
1:47:07 Adam That's right. Smell the possum on there. Now, look, stay with your girlfriend and let your girlfriend whittle away at mom, too, before you head over.
1:47:17 Fuel But make sure, yeah, yeah.
1:47:18 Adam Soften her up.
1:47:19 Fuel Make sure it's cool. Let go over for dinner or something.
1:47:21 Fuel Buy her mom flowers.
1:47:23 Fuel There you go. That's always a good one. Send them on flowers.
1:47:25 Adam Right. Tell her she doesn't look as fat.
1:47:27 Caller We'll be right back.
1:47:28 Adam We'll take a break.
1:47:30 Caller All right, guys, bottom line, here's the deal.
1:47:32 Caller Looking to hook up.
1:47:33 Caller Sick of wasting time with the wrong person. One call is all you need to make. Call the Dateline.
1:47:38 Drew 877-889-DATE.
1:47:43 Caller Loveline, with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:48:19 Adam Well, that is it. I want to thank Fuel for coming in here and being great. Just delightful.
1:48:26 Fuel Thanks for having me, Pete, sitting in the room, having my hangover there.
1:48:29 Adam Good. Real good to see you guys again. Best of luck, although it doesn't seem like you're going to need it. And come back anytime you like. We'll do it in a little less than a year. What do you say? Absolutely.
1:48:42 Fuel We're down.
1:48:43 Adam All right. Going to be at the Anaheim, by the way, House of Blues this Wednesday and then on Downtown Disney. On tour everywhere. So look for them. Thanks, Fuel. And until next time, Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo. Did your dad abuse you sexually?
1:48:59 Caller Actually, me, I'm not sure about. I haven't really explored that whole.
