Episode 1000754886855

1:01 Voiceover Listener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.

1:12 Hey, hey, hey, everyone, it's Loveline.

1:16 Voiceover I'm Adam Corolla, that's Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191, Dr. Drew, Board Certified Physician, Addiction Medicine Specialist. Nick Hexum is here tonight from the Fabulous 311.

1:30 311 What's up?

1:31 Adam 311 and Nick, Nick was in here a few months ago, not too long, right?

1:37 311 Regular.

1:38 Adam When From Chaos came out?

1:40 Drew True.

1:41 Adam Approximately, right? Over the summer? Yeah, yeah.

1:45 Drew I think it was around Winnie Rove's time.

1:47 Yeah.

1:47 Adam I think Nick's a car guy.

1:50 311 I am a car guy. We went out and picked up our cars.

1:53 Adam I think he's got a new car coming soon.

1:55 Oh yeah.

1:55 Adam Or maybe he already got it.

1:56 Drew The CLK, we're saying it's his car.

1:58 311 There's always something on order.

2:00 Adam Yeah. Drew lives through, vicariously through me and my automobiles now.

2:07 311 Jaguar. A Jag man, right?

2:10 Drew No, that's his pot around car.

2:11 Adam I just got one, but I wouldn't call him. I'm a BMW guy. I think Drew is too. We like, and you're a Mercedes guy, right? Yeah. Yeah. You hate to admit it, but those crouts, they do a hell of an automobile. They just do. That's the culture you need building your car. You don't want them to throw you a party. Leave that to the Mexicans.

2:34 311 You don't want to listen to their albums.

2:36 Adam No.

2:37 Drew Don't hear them rap.

2:38 Adam You're like Hasselhoff from The Berlin Wall Live, 1988. You don't need anything from them, but you do need the stuff that moves. The turbine engines, anything that's got wheels or parts. Clocks are good. All good. You know, it's funny. Somebody showed me a miniature little jet turbine engine that's all made out of like titanium, and it's $4,000, and it spools up to 100,000 RPM. And I was just looking at this thing, and he said, where do you think this is from? And I said, Germany. Nope. Like, I mean, if he would have said, if he would have said somewhere in Central America, I would have just fallen on the floor and had a heart attack like Fred Sanford. You just, all the good crap comes out of there.

3:24 311 What? A miniature working engine.

3:26 Adam A miniature turbine.

3:27 Drew For his version model and jet engine. You gotta fill in the blanks in the story.

3:33 Adam Oh, crazy, crazy.

3:34 311 Too much free time.

3:35 You're brain's damaged, you're addicted, you're pervert, you're not normal, you're suicidal, you're schizophrenic.

3:41 Adam Right.

3:42 311 Psychophrenic.

3:43 Adam Very hard work in this, Germans, except for my brother-in-law. I got the one lazy crowd, married my sister. The one slacker German, and all of Germany marries my sister.

3:54 311 When I was over in Japan, I saw a guy that had a shirt that said, I am the one inefficient Japanese. The one.

4:05 Adam 311 is playing the Acoustic Christmas, which of course is the big flagship station out here, KROQ's big show. Man, it must be, what is this, nine years? Ten years? What is this one? Ninth annual? Tenth annual?

4:22 Drew Ten or 11.

4:23 Adam Do you think it's 11?

4:24 Drew No, it's like 12, isn't it?

4:25 Adam No.

4:26 311 I want to do some research to find out if any band has done more KROQ shows than 311.

4:31 Adam I couldn't, if you combine, I think, Acoustic Christmases and Weenie Roastesses.

4:37 Drew You're in.

4:38 Adam Yeah, I think 311. And I'll tell you why, 311 never disappoints live either.

4:43 311 Well, thank you.

4:44 Drew 12, see?

4:45 Adam It's the 12th.

4:46 311 12th annual.

4:47 Oh my God.

4:48 Adam Drew, how old are you, that you, that you were around for 6 years before they decided to have one?

4:54 Drew I was around for 6 years before the company came along that bought the station.

4:57 Adam Oh my God.

4:58 Drew That could decide.

5:00 Adam Oh, Drew, you're such a loser. You're just gonna die here. You, we're just gonna slide your earn up against the mic.

5:07 For 30 years from now.

5:08 Drew You'll get about as much action out of it, won't you?

5:10 Adam Probably maybe a little more. From the novelty side of it. So anyway, we'll hear something from 311. Actually, probably a couple of things from 311 as the night wears on. And also give you guys some places you can find them touring, coming to a city near you. Let's hop on the phones. And as I've been plugging all week, next week Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Kiedis. Robert Downey Jr. is a kind of a spacey guy.

5:38 Drew When you talk to him?

5:39 311 After all that, go figure.

5:42 Drew Shocking, Adam.

5:43 Adam But no, I mean, they're guys who've done a fair amount of drugs and seem to have gotten through it. And then they're guys who've been affected by drugs. And then they're guys who were affected before they got to the drugs.

5:53 Drew Which I think this might be one of those cases.

5:54 Adam I think Robert was always kind of a spacey guy. An immensely talented guy, but kind of a spacey guy before the drugs got to him. And between Robert Downey and Anthony Kiedis, I mean, who's done more drugs than those two?

6:08 Drew You'll find out.

6:10 Adam I don't know if we will. All right. Drew, you ask that question. No, don't tell him I said it.

6:14 Drew So you're extremely interested. Adam has to know.

6:17 Adam Desiree?

6:18 Yeah?

6:19 Adam You're 24?

6:19 Caller Yes, I am.

6:20 Adam What's up?

6:21 Caller What's up? Well, actually, I've got like two quick questions.

6:25 Adam All righty.

6:26 Caller One of them is fairly quick.

6:27 Adam All right.

6:28 Caller So shoot.

6:29 Drew Yeah, please.

6:30 Caller Well, the first question is like for the last year, and I read somewhere in a medical journal that I might have something to do with my ears.

6:35 Drew Why do you read medical journals? You're 24.

6:37 Caller I'm into the medical thing. I want to be like a nurse, though.

6:39 Drew Yeah, but you shouldn't be reading medical journals. It's like me reading flight manuals. What?

6:44 Caller Desk reference. I read like the desk reference guides and stuff.

6:47 Adam Okay.

6:48 Caller Well, anyway, the problem for like last year has been like I have this inability to clear my throat completely. And I read somewhere that I might have something to do with my ears.

6:57 Drew Desiree. Oh boy.

6:59 Adam Hypochondriac, baby. Anyone who wants to be a nurse is insane anyway. So there's some trouble. Oh, no.

7:06 Drew This is, Desiree, this is post-nasal drip. That's what you're talking about, all right? And so just focus on maybe use some ocean nasal spray and if you have allergies, take care of that.

7:16 Caller Okay.

7:17 Drew Yes, there are over-the-counter solutions. You can take a little thin the secretions a little bit sometimes.

7:21 Caller Okay. The other thing is I've been with my boyfriend for like almost a year and a half, okay? And at 23, I got it. He was the first person I ever fell in love with. So I was open to a lot more things with him, like role playing during sex, dressing, sex, these things like that, that I've never done for anybody else.

7:37 Drew Why were you suddenly open with him?

7:39 Caller Because he was the first person I ever felt comfortable enough with. I fell in love with him, first person ever, you know?

7:43 Adam Okay.

7:44 Caller Anyway, so I got into all that stuff with him, and then now he's like, well, everything's boring. I've done everything, and he doesn't want to do anything anymore.

7:51 Drew Maybe the reason you start experimenting with this guy is this is the first guy that wanted to do something like that.

7:55 Caller Well, no, others did too, but I wasn't comfortable enough.

7:58 Adam What do you want to do? Give us a role playing scenario.

8:01 Caller Oh, I don't know if I should. Well, I've played, like, I don't know. I've been like his Dopor. I mean, I've played, like, all different roles.

8:09 Adam His what?

8:10 Drew Dopor.

8:11 Adam Cocor? Dopor?

8:13 Caller Adam's got it.

8:14 Adam Okay. Cocor.

8:15 Caller I mean, I've played things I won't even get into.

8:19 Adam Well, go on, tell us another good one. Come on.

8:22 Caller His ex?

8:23 Adam You played his ex? Oh, Cocor and ex. You got range, baby.

8:26 Drew So he needs to be shamed in order to be aroused. Did you have to hit him or anything, too?

8:31 Adam What?

8:32 311 I missed something. What was the second?

8:33 Adam His ex.

8:35 311 Pretend you're my ex-girlfriend?

8:38 Adam Yeah. Does he get to call you by the ex's name?

8:42 311 Sure.

8:43 Caller Until it angered me, yeah.

8:45 Caller Oh my God.

8:48 Adam You know what I'd start doing? I'd get with the ex and start talking about you.

8:52 Caller No, I got to tell you, though. I mean, nothing else.

8:54 Adam I can't do half of what you do, baby.

8:55 Caller He's not a bad guy, though. He's been there for me when I need him.

8:59 Drew Yeah, well, he's got some issues.

9:02 Adam Well, he's slowed down, though, right?

9:04 Caller Tremendously.

9:05 Adam Well, here's the deal. This role-playing thing.

9:09 Caller It's gone down to like twice a month.

9:10 Adam Well, yeah, because it bites him in the ass. You end up getting mad at him.

9:15 Drew No, she's not down to twice a month. He is.

9:17 Adam Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean, he's getting the crap kicked out of him when he does this.

9:23 Caller He's had long-term relationships, and he's been my first long-term, so he's had more experience to do the same thing.

9:27 Drew Yeah, but no, no. Desiree, I want you to understand that the next relationship you have, he's not going to ask you to do all this stuff.

9:34 Caller Well, I know. I would hope not.

9:35 Drew So it's not like, well, gee, just because he's had long-term relationships, he experiments with all these bizarre, no, this is him. And he does this as a way of arousing himself and avoiding the dangerous feelings of intimacy. He can't really be close. It's too dangerous, too scary. So he has to create all these sort of roles to calm himself down so he can function sexually. And you run out of opportunities. I mean, eventually you sort of run out of steam with this stuff. And these are the kinds of guys who will get on to some other weird things to try to help to distract them from the more real feelings.

10:02 Adam You know, my first line would be in the role playing if she was playing my ex, it would be like, holy S, you put some weight on. Wow.

10:10 311 You let yourself go.

10:12 Adam What happened?

10:12 Drew You would quickly graduate to S&M.

10:16 Adam Power in the nuts. Desiree, you are, you're nutty in an old-fashioned kind of way. It's almost a quaint kind of crazy.

10:24 Drew Like Napoleon.

10:25 Adam Yeah, like you should be chased with a butterfly net kind of crazy. Maybe, a little therapy, a little less reading of the physician's reference and more into the therapy.

10:36 Drew And a little more willingness to look at reality, not just go with reality.

10:41 311 Obviously the relationship isn't really, you know, substantive if, you know, your intimacy isn't based on, you know, real things. It's like all these role playing and now that those are extinguished, he's going to lose interest.

10:52 Drew Right. You can't kill it with a toy.

10:54 311 There's nothing there anymore.

10:55 Adam That X thing, like what were the chances that one was going to blow up in someone's face? I ran in to be real today.

11:02 Drew Yeah.

11:02 Adam He followed me in my house and then gave me a big handful of marijuana.

11:07 Drew It's the kind of life I had. That's how he greets everyone, isn't it?

11:11 Adam Yeah, like some guys hand out fives.

11:13 Drew Oh, there were cards, greeting cards.

11:15 Adam Yeah, that's basically what it was. Danielle?

11:19 Yes?

11:20 Adam You're 20?

11:20 Caller Yes, I am.

11:21 Adam What's up?

11:22 Caller First, I want to say thank you for taking my call. And I was wondering if I could maybe forfeit my question to talk to Nick.

11:29 Adam Here he is.

11:30 Caller OK, Nick, hi. I'm a huge fan. I've been listening to 311 for years now. You guys are absolutely amazing. Thanks. My question for you is, I know you guys are putting out In Launch to Show Detail 2 next week. Yep. And you guys put out Omaha Sessions a couple of years ago. And I know the video comes with like a CD of like some rare songs and stuff. And I was wondering...

11:52 Adam Hold on, I'm going nuts with Drew. Drew, that thing goes on Vibrate, right?

11:57 311 He's being paged. Anyway, yeah, there is going to be a CD with rare tracks.

12:03 Caller Yeah, I was wondering, are you guys going to be putting out another like more full-length CD like Omaha Sessions anytime soon with, you know, more of the old stuff from the earlier days?

12:13 311 And we pretty much cleaned out the vaults. Really?

12:17 Caller That was seriously like, that's my favorite album. And like, you know, I'm sure you guys probably like, you know, look back at the songs and say, oh, goodness, you know, but like, that's seriously my favorite album.

12:27 311 And that's nice to hear. It was recorded for like 400 bucks. You know what I mean? It was like very low budget, but there's definitely some feeling there. And but anyway, I'm glad you like it. But then the new, the DVD comes out with a CD of rare songs and like an acoustic version of I'll Be Here A While, which I think we're going to play later in the show.

12:47 Caller I've heard that. It's great. It's amazing.

12:49 Adam Hey, is a band ever, I know this doesn't sound, it's a little unscrupulous, but how about recording some stuff now, making it kind of rough sounding and say it was uncovered on earth from like 12 years ago and get everyone hyped up about it. It wouldn't have to be that good because you guys were just starting out, it could be a little raw sounding. I wonder if a band's ever done that.

13:09 311 Get on to something.

13:10 Adam It might be a good plan. I've come up with a lot of good ideas this week. I came up with the heated sofa. Sounds too basic to not exist.

13:18 311 I have a heated mattress pad on my bed and it's the best.

13:21 Adam It's the best. The best.

13:22 Drew Heated mattress pad. What did you think of that?

13:25 311 It's the bomb.

13:26 Adam Why didn't I think of that?

13:27 311 My dad bought it for me. He's from Nebraska. It gets below zero there in the winter and he used that. It's way better than an electric blanket and it's way better than a furnace because that like creates all this dry air.

13:37 Adam Right. Solid. Okay. Now what's wrong with a heated sofa? I'm talking about the sofa being wired up.

13:43 311 Your car seats are heated.

13:44 Adam Car seats.

13:44 311 Just like a car seat.

13:46 Adam I came up that. I came up with a yogurt with fruit in the middle. Not at the bottom, but in the middle. I came up with jeans that had a panty line sewn into them. You know, because a lot of ladies wear the thong back, but a lot of guys I think missed that panty line. And now, new music that is made to sound old and uncovered.

14:06 311 Brilliant.

14:07 Adam Thank you.

14:08 Drew Fruit in the Middle. You have fruit in the middle. Music about Fruit in the Middle.

14:10 Adam Oh, we could write a whole Fruit in the Middle song, Drew. That's very interesting.

14:14 I like a girl with a big butt, but fruit in the middle is juicy, is sweet, cuz it's fruit, and in the middle...

14:22 Adam David Alan Greer did that little rendition of Fruit in the Middle.

14:27 That'd be me.

14:28 311 You're 37.

14:29 Adam What's up?

14:30 I had a facial automy on my legs. They got crushed, and they had to go in and fix it.

14:34 Drew Facial automy.

14:35 That's it.

14:36 Adam You had your legs crushed?

14:38 Yeah.

14:39 Drew They said it was an accident.

14:40 Adam His girlfriend rolled over?

14:41 I wish. At least then I was doing something.

14:43 Adam Oh, boy. I don't know why. I know this is gonna hurt my teeth, but tell us what happened in the construction accident.

14:50 I had... I sent everybody home, and I was picking up all the thought-off pieces, it's just policing the area. We had the second floor basically stuck up on the... on the rack above us, and the pins sheared, and 37 sheets of 3 1⁄4-inch Pollywood and about 200 2x4s landed on me.

15:11 Adam CDX or ACX? Good one, son?

15:13 311 They had the sting.

15:15 Adam And it just caught you from what down? The knee down or the hip down?

15:19 I landed on my legs, and they wanted to take my left leg off at the hip and my right leg off at the knee. So, I've got plenty of pretty scars all the way up my legs.

15:28 Adam But they didn't take the leg?

15:30 No. They said they could try and save them, but it would be expensive and painful. And I said I have insurance, and that's the last thing I remember saying.

15:39 Adam How many folks do they talk to where they go, I like to take the right leg off and the part of the left leg, and you go, well, do what you got to do. I mean, like, oh, it's going to be expensive. Well, if it's over 800, I mean, this conversation is over.

15:54 Over.

15:55 Adam I mean, how many people just go, yeah, I shouldn't be needing those.

15:59 311 It's like a scene out of Gone With The Wind.

16:01 Adam Yeah.

16:01 311 Like, I'm keeping my leg, dog.

16:03 Adam Yeah. Heat up the tar, and give this guy a wooden spoon to bite on. We're going in. And how old were you?

16:11 I was 37. This only happened in April this year.

16:13 Adam Oh boy. But they just thought you were sort of lukewarm on your legs, like, I could take them, I could leave them.

16:21 Well, apparently, I wasn't awake enough by the 14 hours later is when everybody found me.

16:25 Adam Great.

16:25 Oh my God.

16:26 Adam Oh, you were crushed under there?

16:28 311 No one was around.

16:29 Adam Oh, because you spent the whole night there?

16:30 Yes.

16:31 Yes.

16:32 I sent everybody else home.

16:33 311 Going to shock or anything?

16:36 I never woke up until I hit the hospital, and that's when they were trying to get me, because they couldn't get in touch with my stepmother.

16:41 Adam Oh, man.

16:42 311 Crazy.

16:42 So they tried to get me to wake up enough, and he got me around enough to say that.

16:47 Adam Yeah, and I've worked with a ton of construction guys. I know. Here's what happened. They walked in. Geez, Wes is crushed under two tons of CDX ply. Wait a minute, the lunch truck's here.

16:59 Caller Where's the coffee?

17:01 Adam He's been here for 14 hours. He can make another 10 minutes.

17:06 311 Roach Coach is here.

17:07 Adam Yeah, he's got a cup of cocoa and a Danish, and we'll come back and deal with it when we get back. Okay, Bob, don't sit on the plywood. Jesus Christ, you're rubbing it in.

17:16 You guys are great. I love you guys.

17:18 Adam So did you sue everyone?

17:21 I was the owner of the company. Thank God I had insurance, but there's really no one to sue.

17:24 Caller Oh, boy.

17:26 Adam Oh, man.

17:26 Drew What kind of building was it?

17:27 Adam So, well, it was like some commercial, right? I mean, he said some pins popped.

17:32 Yeah, it was a retail center, and we had all of our scaffolding out as we were setting up for the second floor and just put the wood on the scaffolding.

17:39 Drew I see.

17:39 It should have held it. It's all metal, but the pin popped, and the whole thing just collapsed right on top of me.

17:44 Adam The pins in between the scaffolding.

17:46 That's correct, in between the scaffolding of floors.

17:48 Adam Right. Oh, man.

17:50 So what they used for me on painkillers started with morphine and oxycontin. Now, I'm off those two, but I'm still on Neurotin and a few other things.

17:59 Drew What other things?

18:01 Amitriptyline, Tendo, Plendyl, excuse me, Celexia, Hydrocodone for pain.

18:09 Drew There's your back with your morphines again right there.

18:11 Yeah, Vioxx.

18:13 Drew Hydrocodone is Vicodin. How much of that are you using?

18:16 Actually, I'm pretty much not taking that. Every once in a while, if I do too much, I get a little pain, a little too much pain to deal with, I should say, and my pup wonders.

18:23 Drew I would say West not addicted. You know, it has to do with how different West is and people are addicted.

18:27 Adam Yeah, he doesn't say on it.

18:28 No, I don't think so. I mean, I've been watching it too. I didn't even take morphine for the first two days that I've been watching it.

18:33 Drew No, no, we understand. So what's the question?

18:35 The question is, how long before some of this moves out of my system? The reason being, there's a young lady in Oklahoma that could use one of my kidneys.

18:42 Drew Oh boy, how'd you find that out?

18:45 By accident, purely by accident. I work at a place right now that is a call center, and I was talking with these people, and some just in her daughter. Am I allowed to mention the dinner theater I work for? I don't know what the rules are to that. Okay, I work for Medieval Times here in Dallas.

19:02 Caller Oh, Jesus.

19:04 Drew Adam has a thing about that.

19:05 Adam Crushed my thigh with now this.

19:09 Drew What is that like? We've been discussing about Renaissance.

19:12 311 Oh, Renaissance.

19:13 Adam Dinner and tournament. Let me tell you my thing. I'm just yelling in my office about this. When I go out to eat, I want everyone to focus full time on the food. I don't want part of their attention to be taken away to Battle Axe or Jow's. I want everyone to just fully focus. Even with full attention on the food, it doesn't always come out that good. But dinner and guys' jow's, it's crazy. Oh my god, really, I could talk to Wes for hours.

19:43 Drew Wait, but here's the deal about Wes. Wes hasn't spent enough time in a hospital yet. He's got to go have his kidney removed. Yeah, no. I mean, Wes, you're like humanitarian of the year.

19:53 Adam Are you in love with this girl?

19:54 I don't even know her. Her mom called Medieval Times to see if we had a video because she wanted to see the show, but she's too sick to travel. I said, too sick. And she goes, well, her kidneys are failing, and they're not sure how long she'll live. She's got kids, and I felt real bad, and I figured, I lived through this thing that I went through for some reason. I'm supposed to do something in this earth.

20:19 Drew Wow, how interesting.

20:20 Adam Well, isn't working at Medieval Times enough?

20:22 Drew I mean, Medieval Times and a scaffolding company.

20:28 I'll get back to the construction when I walk straight again, but until then.

20:31 Drew Did you go get yourself typed to see if you match with her?

20:37 I know my blood is right. I'm more positive, so is she. And I've got the paperwork that I'm about to send back out tomorrow, but we haven't. That's as far as the hospital in Oklahoma has let us go at this point.

20:48 Drew Well, you've got a ton of work to do to see if it's your kidney that will do any good.

20:51 Adam Why? Now, how does the typing work, Drew?

20:54 Drew These are proteins that appear on the surface of every cell in your body that have to match up to some extent. And with what her body has. I mean, that's why identical twins are a perfect match.

21:04 Adam How do they get that type? How do they figure that type?

21:07 Drew It's called HLA typing.

21:08 Adam Can you just get it from blood?

21:09 Drew Yeah, I think they can.

21:10 Adam Hey, Wes?

21:11 Yes, sir.

21:12 Adam But first off, how can you work? What do you do over there?

21:17 I do reservations. You call in for reservations.

21:20 Adam Oh, so you can just answer the phone and do that kind of thing. And number two, can you walk? Can you move around?

21:26 I am back to walking. I sometimes have to use crutches or a cane, but I am out of the wheelchair.

21:30 Adam And number three, doesn't this person have a whole slew of people to choose from as far as the kidney goes, family members and things like that? How tough is it to find a match, Drew?

21:43 Drew It's an excellent match. It's tough. But you want to use siblings and things. You want to be people who are genetically related.

21:48 Adam That's how you get your match. Because you always hear about the guy's brother or sister doing it.

21:52 Her brother had hepatitis, which cancels him out.

21:55 Adam Oh, junkie. Yeah.

21:58 I just happened to hear about it. I lived through mine for a reason.

22:03 Drew It says on the window here in the computer that you're wondering if these medications you're taking are going to prevent you from doing it. I don't think it should.

22:10 Really?

22:10 Drew But I think the probability of you being a match is so remote. But we'll see. There's something about it.

22:17 311 That's a very nice thought, Wes.

22:19 Drew Yes, an amazing, amazing, I mean, it sort of renews faith in humanity for me that someone come out of something like that and go, I don't think I'll go back to the hospital with my kidney taken in.

22:26 Adam Yeah. Give him a round of applause, Engineer Anderson plays. Although I think something's wrong with him.

22:32 Drew I know, I know.

22:33 Adam Not the kidney, the medieval times is really, I'm stuck on the dinner and jousting.

22:39 Drew It's more Renaissance stuff. Isn't that bizarre? It's been Renaissance week here.

22:44 311 This is like a big industry that we would have seen it for once or twice. It looks really, my kids love it. Really?

22:52 Drew Love it.

22:53 Adam Well, your kids have gone to medieval times?

22:55 Drew I've not gone, but they've gone with friends and stuff.

22:57 Adam Really?

22:57 Drew Yeah.

22:58 Adam It's kind of like, it's like what, it's like ferals for screwy adults, right? You know, for Dungeon and Dragons guys?

23:06 Drew I don't think it's really an adult thing at all. Okay. It's a fairy kid.

23:10 Adam All right. Nick Hexum is our guest tonight. He's from 311, of course. He doesn't have any problems compared to you guys. And we're going to hear something from 311. We'll be back after this.

23:27 Caller Hey, everyone, Loveline, I'm Adam Carolla, that's Dr. Drew.

23:32 Adam Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Nick Hexum is here from 311. This is the time of the season I hate the most. The Big Mother station, KROQ, out here has a big concert. The Acoustic Christmas, 311 is going to be there. Many, many huge bands that are on this show will be there as well. Everyone and their mother wants tickets, and the money all goes to charity. And here's the problem. And Drew, you know exactly what I'm going to say. We have to pay for the tickets. And so you cut a check for 500, 600 bucks. Sometimes if you get a bunch of tickets, you're up 700, 800 bucks, right? And then everyone wants them one or two at a time. And they're all people that you can't say, give me the money for. And you feel like a dick going, hey, that's 55 bucks, or I'm giving you two tickets, that's 110 bucks, because it's all a bunch of, you know, it's like Kathy Griffin. I had Kathy Griffin work on this show that we're working on last week. She went out to Nevada, she helped us out, blah, blah, blah. She called me tonight, she wants some tickets. What am I supposed to do? Tell her it's 110 bucks or do I just give it to her?

24:40 Drew Just give it to her.

24:41 Adam And I wouldn't mind that, but then you end up with this big lump and you gotta just give it out to everybody.

24:46 Drew You need little Christmas cards and you can go, Merry Christmas.

24:48 Adam But here's the weird part, and here's the part I'm screwy about, and you guys tell me what a normal human being would do. They think you get them for free, so it's no biggie, because you work for the state.

25:01 311 But it's like you want them to know. Like when I had my birthday party, and I paid for open bar, and then I was like, that's 5,000 bucks, and not one person even noticed.

25:10 Drew Right, you want credit. But here's what we didn't get credit, is no one would believe we have to pay for tickets.

25:15 Adam Oh, how dare you, Drew. This is going to a good charity.

25:18 Drew No, but I mean, still, no one would believe that we set up it. I'm happy to do it.

25:22 Adam Their impression is, and they couldn't be further from more wrong, their impression is, is me and Drew are like big shots, and we're the stars of the station.

25:32 Drew My boyfriend, literally a millionaire.

25:34 Adam And we just go in and tell them we need like 500 tickets, and they say, where should they be delivered, Mr. Corolla? Do you need a limo? The reality is, producer Ann says, how many tickets are you going for this year? And we go, we have like six pair, and she rolls her eyes and shakes her head and walks away and goes, don't count on it.

25:52 Drew You can get an eight. You can get eight tickets.

25:54 Adam Maybe. Maybe. Because there's phone ops and van drivers that need tickets. But the point is, nobody would think we would pay for them because it's our station, and of course, they would give us tickets. So what do I say? Do I give them to the guy? I got like my stereo guy. He wants a pair. Do I give it to him and go, I need... And I did it before, and then I feel like an idiot where I go, here's the tickets, don't pay for them, but you... I just want you to know, I bought them. And then they're like, oh, well, here, take some money. You're like, no, it's cool. That's not what I wanted. And they're like, well, why'd you say it? And you're like, I just want you to kiss my ass. Come on.

26:32 Drew This was a credit.

26:33 Adam So what do you do? What would you guys do?

26:36 Drew I'd go through the same thing.

26:37 Adam What do I do with Kathy Griffin?

26:38 Drew Are you giving her?

26:39 Adam She makes more money than I do.

26:41 Drew She did you a favor. Big one.

26:43 311 Do we pay her?

26:45 Adam Okay, should I then?

26:46 311 Adam, you do fine.

26:48 Adam Okay, I should just give it to her. But should I say something? Because she just thinks they just give it to me.

26:53 311 You could make a joke out of it. You'd say KROQ, they're such cheapskates, they made me pay for the tickets. But anyway, it's my treat. Here you go. I mean, no, you shouldn't even say anything.

27:00 Adam I shouldn't say anything.

27:01 Drew No.

27:02 Adam But then to her, it's like a zero. It's like they just gave him some and he gave them to me. No big deal.

27:06 311 Like Kathy, if you're listening.

27:08 Drew No, no, no. Adam, I'll talk to her. I'll talk to her.

27:10 311 Okay.

27:11 Drew We'll talk to her tomorrow night.

27:13 Caller Saturday night.

27:13 Adam You'll see her Saturday night when you tell her I paid for her?

27:15 Drew Yeah, I will.

27:15 Caller I'll talk to her.

27:16 Adam Tell her Adam would kill himself if he knew we were having this conversation.

27:19 Drew I said this would kill Adam, but he spent 20 minutes on the radio talking about it. And I had to stop him finally by telling him I'd talk to you.

27:25 Adam All right. All right.

27:28 311 David? Yeah.

27:29 Adam Nick, do you guys, you get, 311 gets some tickets, right? People want them?

27:33 311 A few.

27:34 Adam Do you have to pay for them?

27:36 311 We get a small portion of free tickets for our family members and then a small list of.

27:44 Adam You're going to tell people you pay when you hand it to them? I'll tell them. I'll tell them for you. You tell them for me.

27:49 311 The secret's out.

27:50 Adam David?

27:51 Caller Yeah.

27:51 Adam You're 18?

27:52 311 Yeah.

27:53 Adam What's up?

27:53 Caller Um, I just wanted to talk to Nick. Nick, big fan. Um, listen to all your albums. Own all your albums.

28:00 311 Cool.

28:01 Caller Great.

28:02 311 Thank you.

28:03 Caller Thanks. Favorite. Um, I just wanted to want to know, in freeze time, you have a very golden butter jam for your slam. What does that mean?

28:13 311 Uh, it was just like stream of consciousness, rhyming, as it's whatever you think it is. There you go.

28:21 There you go. There you go.

28:23 311 It's whatever you think is the cleverest, most wittiest definition for that.

28:28 Caller Okay.

28:28 311 I'm just, you know, the song Freeze Time is about like appreciating, you know, really good moments of trying to, you know, like say you're with all your friends, you know, and you want to, you just take, take, take a moment to notice when, when things are good because there's so many, so many, you know, stresses and bad things in life that, you know, the quality of life is, is measured by how many times you stop and say, you know what, things are good right now. So that's what that song is about.

28:56 Adam Thanks David.

28:57 Caller Thanks.

28:58 Adam Yeah, and a good, a good message. I think people get caught up like, it, I mean, at the end of your life, here's, here's what could happen. I know this is, will be my life. Someone will give me something I don't want to do three weeks from now, and I'll just focus on that thing I don't want to do, and it'll be countdown to what I don't want to do for the, for the next three weeks. And then those three weeks, anything good in that three weeks will just be swept right under the carpet. It's countdown to crap.

29:25 Drew It's because we spend our lives trying to manage, manage our feelings, run away from feelings, make feelings better, manage, manage, manage, as opposed to taking inventory and appreciating what we got. And really letting that in.

29:38 Adam Let's do that. But really, Kathy Griffin, I should tell her about this.

29:43 Drew No, I'm talking to, I am talking to you. You'll get it, you'll get it. I don't know.

29:46 Adam I got a better, full credit.

29:47 Drew Full credit. She'll come up to you and kiss your ass.

29:49 Adam Do me one better. Don't tell her 110 for the pair. Tell her like 185. Okay?

29:54 Drew Yeah, she'll buy that.

29:55 Adam Thanks.

29:55 311 No, she's in the pit and she has to mosh.

29:57 Drew Plus, she got passes. You're going to get your passes too, probably.

30:00 Adam Yeah, I'm going to get her some lamblets.

30:02 311 She's a fiery redhead.

30:03 Adam Right.

30:04 Look for her up front.

30:05 Adam She'll be surfing. Mike, you're 17. What's up?

30:09 Caller Yeah.

30:10 Caller I was just wondering if it's possible to be impotent at 17.

30:15 Drew Impotent?

30:16 Caller Yeah.

30:16 Drew What do you mean impotent?

30:18 Caller Like, you know, getting ready to-

30:21 Drew Turn your radio down. Turn your radio down.

30:23 Adam What's that? Your radio down. I said Janice Ian song, impotent at 17. What's another one I'm thinking of?

30:29 Drew At 17, yeah.

30:31 311 18 and Life To Go. What was that band?

30:34 Adam Hey, Mike? Yeah. Has your penis ever worked correctly?

30:39 Caller Only when I masturbate.

30:41 Drew But when you're with a woman, what happens?

30:43 Caller It just won't go up like I want it to.

30:47 Drew Are you on medication?

30:50 Caller No, not right now.

30:52 Drew Are you supposed to be on medication?

30:53 Caller No, I used to be on all kinds of medication for like depression and things like that.

30:58 Drew Did you do a lot of drugs?

31:00 Caller Pot.

31:01 Drew Just pot. Are you still doing pot?

31:03 Caller No.

31:04 Drew Really?

31:05 Caller Yeah.

31:06 Drew Really?

31:07 Caller Seriously.

31:07 Drew What are you doing?

31:08 Adam A little hesitation there.

31:10 Drew Are you doing stimulants? Anything else you're doing?

31:12 Caller Uh-uh. Cigarettes.

31:14 Drew Just cigarettes. All right. Well, all the drugs work against erection, so it's hard to sometimes hard to get erection with that. If you've been depressed, have psychiatric problems, obviously those symptoms can overwhelm your normal biological functioning, your normal sexual functioning. And when you get in the heat of a relationship, and that can be very anxiety provoking, you feel overwhelming, and that can make things not work. And once that happens once, boy, just the anxiety that might happen again makes it happen again.

31:38 Adam Yeah. You need one good outing.

31:41 Drew Yeah. But he's got a long history of psychiatric problems.

31:45 311 Well, I think he needs to find a girl that he's comfortable enough with to just goof around with her, wrestle with her, flirt with her, until all of a sudden you're just like stimulated and raging. You know what I mean? It's like there's probably a lot of pressure, like, oh my god, it's time to do it right now. She's taking off her clothes. What's going to happen? Just be like, we'll do it when the time's right, and if you have a girl that you're just not focused on doing it at all, and if it happens, fine.

32:08 Adam Well, you do what I did in high school. You start with a corpse, takes all the pressure off, and then you work your way up until a chick with a coma, and then eventually just someone with Down syndrome, and you work your way up to an actual human being.

32:22 311 He had a job at the morgue, and it just went south from there.

32:27 Adam Look, and you know what?

32:28 Drew Actually, it was a cemetery.

32:30 Adam I made lemonade out of lemons. The lemons, that's what I did with that morgue job. That's my policy. Life gives you lemons, you hump a corpse. Let's hear something from 311. I think that would be a good plan. You queued up there, Anderson? Yep. All right. This is called I'll Be Here Alone.

36:12 311 That was the premiere.

36:14 Adam Yeah.

36:14 311 That was the first time in Los Angeles that's been played.

36:18 Adam Drew is rarely touched by a song.

36:21 Drew Yeah. Now it got me right away.

36:23 Adam Right.

36:24 Not.

36:26 Adam Drew just tugged at his heartstrings. So a very lovely acoustic rendition, and we'll hopefully hear that on Sunday night. You guys are Sunday night, right? Yeah.

36:39 Drew We're introducing them.

36:40 Adam We are? Yeah. When did we find that out?

36:42 Drew It's on your thing here. It's in here. It says it right here.

36:46 Caller Oh, that's good.

36:47 Adam It says Adam and Drew are here today.

36:48 Drew It's 3.11, 9:15 PM.

36:50 Adam Oh, good. All right. So we got that to look forward to. Do me a favor, Nick. Yell something from the stage because we'll be out in the audience. Give us a thumbs up or like, hey, those are my bros or something to make us cool. You know what I mean? Because the thing is like, we're cool most of the time, but then the band show up and we're not cool anymore. But it's cool when the band goes like, hey, you're cool.

37:12 Drew He doesn't want to say yes, Adam, because he's not going to remember to do that.

37:16 Adam No, just give like a, yo, you guys, you know, this one's for you.

37:21 Drew Props to my bros.

37:22 Adam You know, like you want to dedicate the set to us. I want to give a shout out to Adam and Dr. Drew, yeah. Yeah, like a shout out. Just improvise. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I'll write you out something during the break.

37:34 311 Yeah, just jot it down. I'll say whatever it is.

37:37 Adam I'll jot it down. Yeah, well, it's a couple of paragraphs. I mean, you got a 30-minute set, right?

37:44 Drew 40 minutes.

37:44 Adam It's only going to be about 5, 10 minutes.

37:46 Drew It looks like we might be doing this on stage this year.

37:48 Adam No, they don't let us up on stage. We can't get on stage, true. Yeah, that's right.

37:52 Drew That's right.

37:54 Caller Yeah.

37:55 Adam You're 22?

37:56 Caller Oh, my goodness. Yeah, hi.

37:57 Adam What's up?

37:58 Caller Nothin. Hi, Nick. How are you?

37:59 311 Good.

38:00 Caller Okay, here's my deal. And I have to warn you guys, Damien said that he gives better advice than you guys do.

38:06 Adam Oh, a phone screener?

38:07 Caller Uh-huh.

38:08 Adam Yeah.

38:08 Caller But I don't think so.

38:09 Adam What did he tell you?

38:10 311 He's jocin for the job.

38:11 Adam He ought to listen to some of his own advice. He's single, he's bald, and he works in a mail room with some company all day.

38:18 Caller Please. I am hoping that your advice is better than his. I have a problem in that I am one of the guys. I hang out with mostly guys. Girls and I tend to not get along very well. Oh, okay. And all my guy friends sit and tell me I'm hot and tell me that if they want my friends, they'd be interested, but they're all my friends.

38:43 Adam Yeah. How much you weigh?

38:44 Caller I'm 135.

38:46 Adam And what are you, four?

38:48 Caller Five ten.

38:49 Adam Five ten.

38:50 Caller I'm really cute.

38:52 Caller I know I'm cute. So I don't know.

38:54 Adam All right. Well, hold on. Hold the side if you're cute.

38:57 Drew We got to take a break, but we are going to get to the bottom of this. Okay. All right. Hold on a second.

39:00 Adam All right.

39:01 Drew Something's not fitting. But this business is not liking women. There's something there. You can't get along with women.

39:06 Adam Well, there's a lot of women that... You know it's weird. There's a lot of women that don't get along well with women and I don't necessarily hold it against them. It's just kind of their thing.

39:15 Drew Because you don't get along with women either.

39:17 Adam How dare you? You're so lucky you're not a chick. I'll beat the crap out of you right now. But they're guys. I've been with a woman. But I don't know any guys that don't get along with guys who are straight.

39:28 Drew But they're guys that hang out with women. No, they're guys that are not guys guys. They hang out with women and they hang out with guys.

39:37 Adam Nick Hexum is here from 311. We're going to take ourselves a little bit of a break and then we'll get back with, who was that?

39:44 Drew Rachel.

39:45 Adam Rachel. We'll figure out why her guy friends don't want to hump her.

39:50 311 We'll map her life out in a jiffy.

39:53 Adam After this.

39:54 Caller That's me there, everyone. Loveline. I'm Adam.

39:57 Adam That's Drew. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Nick Hexum here from 311. You can find 311 Sunday Night at the KROQ Acoustic Christmas. And I'm going to give some other places you can find 311 as well. Nick, give the website out, 311 website.

40:20 311 It used to be 311music.com, but we just got 311.com. So you can get to the same place. But so it's really easy to remember. But yeah, we're going to play in San Diego on Saturday, but and then we're going to do our own spring tour, probably with Huba Stank. And so, is Huba Stank playing Acoustic Christmas?

40:43 Adam I don't know. I don't believe so. Nick's shaking and said no, but Huba Stank was just in here a couple of weeks ago and they seem like real nice lads. Young guys. And a good song too. So you can look forward to that. Just go to 311.com and that'll have all the tour dates and we can find 311.

41:04 311 Yes, indeed.

41:04 Adam All right. Now when we left off, we're speaking to...

41:08 Drew It's 5.

41:09 Adam I see.

41:10 311 Rachel.

41:10 Caller Yeah.

41:11 Drew She's one of the guys. She does like girls.

41:13 Caller Yeah. I do not like girls. Girls usually don't like me.

41:16 Caller Okay.

41:17 Caller Girls are like intimidated by me.

41:18 Caller What?

41:19 Caller In fact, guys are too, but...

41:20 Drew Intimidate.

41:21 Caller They're my best friend, the girl and... And I have a close small group of girlfriends.

41:26 Adam I just get along with guys better. These are... Hold on. I got to talk about Rachel. These are these people that are... Everything's great except for the math part. Is... Doesn't add up. Guys are intimidated. Girls are intimidated. I'm tall. I'm hot. But no one wants to have sex with me.

41:42 Drew Does not compute.

41:42 Adam Now, now you've just screwed the math all up. We're right along with you until the part where no one wants to hump you.

41:47 Caller No, it's true. And it's funny you say hump. That's like my favorite word and I can't get humped.

41:52 311 It's really depressing.

41:53 Adam Why are girls intimidated by you?

41:55 Caller Um, just... I'm really outspoken. I'm loud. I'm forward. I kind of say what's on my mind. And I'm tall and I'm attractive, so...

42:05 No.

42:05 Caller And I normally don't go around saying I'm tall and attractive.

42:07 Drew What do you do for a living?

42:08 Adam I know.

42:09 Caller I go to school and I work in retail.

42:11 Drew Retail. What kind of retail store?

42:13 Caller Um, a girl's junior's store. I'm like the oldest one there, but...

42:17 Drew Do you... When guys sort of make overtures to you, do you sort of miss those cues or do you put them off?

42:24 Adam How does she know?

42:25 Caller I think... Well, I think that when guys... Well, basically, the only guys I ever see doing that are my friends, and I think that I take it as more of them, like, joking around with me.

42:35 Drew Well, that's...

42:35 311 There you go.

42:36 Drew Yeah, there's your... They're not... Guys aren't joking about stuff like that, ever.

42:39 No.

42:40 311 Okay?

42:42 Drew They may be using humor to make it seem less offensive.

42:45 Right.

42:46 Drew But they ain't joking.

42:47 311 And you're probably hanging out with a pack of guys, maybe, you know, if you, you know, one-on-one with a guy, things will, things will, you know, take on a life of their own.

42:55 Drew So for some reason, you're sort of misreading the cues that guys are giving you. What about asking a guy out for a date?

43:01 Caller I do that when, okay, well, here's like the example that's going on right now is in my group of friends, there's like this guy that we just met a couple of months ago and we started talking more and I'm interested in him and he knows that and he flirts with me. And I've like specifically said, you know, we should hang out some time. I've given him my phone number and all of our friends sit there and joke about it and they're like, oh yeah, he would totally go out with you, blah, blah, blah. But then he never does. He never calls, he never-

43:27 Drew Does he have a girlfriend?

43:28 Caller Yeah.

43:29 Drew He has a girlfriend.

43:29 Adam All right.

43:30 Drew He has a girlfriend.

43:30 Caller Yeah, but that didn't stop him.

43:32 Drew No, it stops him from going the next step.

43:34 Adam Apparently, it does.

43:35 Drew Yeah.

43:36 Caller I know, and it's bad that I like a guy with a girlfriend. I know.

43:40 Adam When was your last boyfriend?

43:42 Caller I dated somebody for like, we were sort of dating from May till June.

43:48 Adam You never had a real boyfriend?

43:51 Caller Oh, no. I've had a real boyfriend. That was like over a year ago.

43:58 Drew Maybe your expectations are too high.

44:00 Adam You've got guys who have girlfriends who are probably scared.

44:03 Caller I normally totally don't go for guys with girlfriends.

44:05 Caller Like, this is the first time I've felt this guilty.

44:07 Adam You expect guys to make a move or in relationships.

44:11 Drew Also, I've never had relationships. Then you go and tell us about these multiple relationships you've had. You've been okay.

44:16 Caller I don't think I've ever had relationships.

44:18 Adam She's just saying for someone as hot as she is, she's thinking, enough. This is the way I feel about me. For B slash C celebrity, I should be getting more respect.

44:28 Caller Well, I just think for all the guys that sit there and talk about that I'm hot and everything, I don't get asked out. I don't go on dates.

44:36 Drew But these guys all have girlfriends?

44:38 Caller No, no, no. Not all of them.

44:39 Adam But you wouldn't even want to go out with half of these guys.

44:41 Drew Yeah, they probably know.

44:42 Adam You just want them to ask.

44:43 Drew Right.

44:44 Caller Oh, maybe.

44:45 Adam Yeah, that's maybe.

44:46 311 I mean, the best relationships are when you put in the friendship first. You probably just need to be hanging out one on one with one of these people. You know, you're probably like playing quarters with them all.

44:55 Drew Yeah. Here's Rachel's move.

44:56 Adam She's more...

44:57 Drew Take responsibility. Take control of your environment.

45:00 Adam Yeah.

45:00 Drew Decide what you want and go ahead. You seem to have the necessary sort of tools to do what you want to do. Go ahead and do it. Don't expect the world to come to you.

45:10 Adam Tools meaning boobs and a vagina.

45:12 Drew Those are necessary.

45:13 Adam Legs to hold them up.

45:15 Drew A platform of the head on top.

45:16 Adam And yeah, she's not so... These guys do ask out. She's just not so interested in going out with them.

45:21 Drew They know.

45:22 Adam She wants them to want her more and make her feel good about herself. That's right. But she's not that interested in getting with them. Amber?

45:28 Hello.

45:29 Adam Hey, you're 20. What's up?

45:31 Caller Yes, I am. Well, first of all, the guy who called the name, his name is Cody. And he's looking for a name for his band, looking to rename his band.

45:42 Adam Yeah, last night.

45:43 Drew This was last night.

45:44 Caller Yeah, this was last night. I was thinking for a suggestion, the name could be... hold on. Misha, go away!

45:51 Drew Okay, Amber.

45:52 Caller My dog.

45:53 Drew Okay, Amber, hang on a sec.

45:56 Adam I told him, Hate Plow. That's as good as a band name is going to get that hasn't been taken. Nick told me during the last break that if 311 was not 311, that they would have gone with Hate Plow.

46:11 311 No, we'd be Love Plow. Come on.

46:13 Caller Alright, Love Plow.

46:15 Caller S Plow.

46:19 Adam Okay, we gotta take a break. Amber, you talk to your dog. We'll take a break. Nick Hexum is here from 311. Slash, Love Plow. And we'll be back with Amber after this.

46:33 Caller Alrighty.

46:37 Adam Yeah, I like this riff too.

46:40 Caller Oh yeah. Pennywise. Alright.

46:46 Adam You can still smell him, can't you, Drew?

46:51 Drew You haven't played that tape in a long time of that night.

46:55 Adam Yeah, we have. Well, now we have to play it.

46:57 Drew You want to play it?

46:58 Adam Not really, but you can't in radio, I don't think, you can't bring stuff up and then not do it. Can you?

47:04 Drew I've been doing that for 18 years.

47:05 Adam Oh, you have? I guess it's tried and true for you, Drew.

47:08 311 Can I tell you, if you ever get a chance to gamble against Fletcher, do it. Okay? He is just all balls and just like...

47:17 Drew No judgment.

47:18 311 He doesn't even look at his cards and he's like, I'll bet it all.

47:21 Adam Really? You play cards with Pennywise?

47:23 311 Yeah, and then the Warped Tour, we did the whole Warped Tour with him and it was a lot of fun.

47:27 Drew Whatever it is, I don't want to piss off Fletcher.

47:29 Adam Playing cards, playing poker with Fletcher just sounds like trouble. Doesn't it sound like trouble?

47:36 Drew Because he knows he's going to drink.

47:38 Adam He's going to be drinking, right?

47:39 311 Oh, yeah.

47:40 Adam And you kind of want him to win, don't you?

47:42 Drew Yeah.

47:43 Adam I mean, it would be worth a couple hundred bucks if he won, wouldn't it?

47:46 311 Yeah, I mean, it got bad one night. We were in Miami, we were outside, we were in Florida somewhere, and Fat Mike from NoFX held these epic poker games, and for the first few hours, it was all friendly, and then it would go to high stakes late at night, and it got nutty, the amount of money that was being passed on.

48:09 Adam How much was out there?

48:11 311 Well, I would say five to ten thousand dollars was...

48:16 Adam Oh, really?

48:18 311 This was like, serious. It was not punk rock at all.

48:23 Caller No.

48:24 Caller Wow.

48:25 Adam Yeah.

48:26 Drew Until the flesh got up and crapped on the table, then it was punk.

48:29 Adam Well, well, maybe they were maybe they were shooting cramps. He did say to Auntie. Yeah, I always liked that later on when everyone gets drunk and stoned. And if there's like eight guys and there's seven aunties out there and it's, oh, who didn't auntie? And everyone just looks at, hi auntie, hi auntie, hi auntie. And everyone just sits there. And then one guy, the guy who actually didn't auntie will go, well, I auntie, but I'll put it in, just to shut you guys up, you know? But whoever, whoever decides to do it is the guy who didn't do it. And then some guy wants to play like Anaconda or Night Baseball and hold everything up. And yeah, it always turns into an argument. All right, let's...

49:08 Drew Back to Amber.

49:09 Adam Amber, where are we? Oh, do you want to hear? All right, let's hear it. Let's hear Pennywise vomiting on Drew eight years ago.

49:16 Drew Many years ago, Fletch came in here, legendary, had been drinking excessively, sitting right where Nick was sitting now, or at least in a similar space on a different studio. And all of a sudden, he heard this cough and was sprayed with vomit. He was eating pizza and drinking tequila. Then he got up and started chasing people around the room, intentionally trying to vomit on them, and chased me into a corner. The only way I could deal with him was by, he was leaning over me, cramming his finger down his throat, retching and vomiting, was to punch him in the head to get him to stand up, while I climbed up onto a bookshelf. That was good.

49:45 Adam I was not there, thankfully. I do feel like I was after hearing this. All right, let's hear it, Anderson.

49:50 Okay, go ahead. That's fine, I mean.

50:08 Caller Love Line is over. I'm pretty much currently...

50:16 Caller Okay, bye.

50:18 Caller Yes, Love Line is over. It's not our fault.

50:22 311 We have a big, ugly man in our guitar band.

50:41 Adam I like the, I like Ann saying, are we on the air?

50:43 Drew And letting a few good Fs fly.

50:46 Let's get the F out of here.

50:48 Adam Producer Ian throws a few Fs in, and then asks them for all the air. What do we do, like roll best of in the middle of the vomit? We got that queued up?

51:00 311 Oh man, legend.

51:01 Adam But the huge sound garden from 1991. I mean, we don't have anything prepared.

51:06 Drew You heard that music came up at the end? I actually took control of the board and pod that music up and turned the mics off. So somebody got, I had to work my way back to the board through the vomit. That's true.

51:14 Adam You are such a consument professional.

51:17 311 Oh, and then a couple of years later he bluffs and says that he's got an explosive device.

51:23 Adam Oh, well we're going to Pooh Pooh City, barricades in the studio. It was really our fault for having him back though. What did you say?

51:31 Drew Yeah, I'd say so. And allowing him, he was using alcohol then too.

51:34 Adam Yeah. That wasn't using. I use alcohol.

51:38 Drew Deploying.

51:39 Adam Deploying alcohol.

51:40 Caller Yeah.

51:44 Adam Amber, you're 20. What's up?

51:49 Caller But anyways, the name for the band would be Two Legs and a Finger. But.

51:54 Adam Two Legs and a Finger.

51:55 Caller Yeah.

51:56 Adam Well, but only if there's. Well, how many guys are in the band though?

52:00 Caller Guy, he didn't mention.

52:02 Adam Let's see, that thing is like there's a math thing that goes on, like two legs and a finger would have to just be one guy.

52:09 Drew Or three guys.

52:09 Caller Yeah, but that stands for all the guys.

52:12 Drew All right. What else going on?

52:14 Adam Thanks, Amber.

52:15 Caller Anyways.

52:16 Adam It's always worth the wait, isn't it?

52:19 Caller Sometimes.

52:19 Adam Go ahead, Amber.

52:20 Caller But my brother Ted called up while I was in hold and he wants to say hi to you guys from Lake Elfenor.

52:27 Caller Whatever.

52:29 Adam Is he on the other line or something?

52:30 Caller No, no. He just called up real quick.

52:32 Adam Okay. So Ted says hi.

52:34 Drew Hi, Ted.

52:35 Caller All right.

52:35 Drew You know, Ted. Sure.

52:37 Adam Ted from Lake Elfenor?

52:38 311 Moving right along.

52:39 Adam All right. What else can we do for Amber? You must be good looking.

52:43 Caller Kind of.

52:44 Adam Yeah.

52:46 Caller Yeah. I'm pretty cute.

52:48 Adam I know. You're not used to people telling you to shut up.

52:51 Caller What's up? Did somebody tell me to shut up?

52:52 Adam No. They wouldn't because you're cute.

52:55 Caller Oh.

52:57 Caller Okay.

52:58 Adam Anyway.

52:59 Caller Shut up, damn it.

53:01 Caller I got two questions. You know, Dr. Drew, how you say that if a guy has AIDS and a woman gives him a BJ, she can get the AIDS, right? I was talking to my friend about that and he said only if she consumes over an ounce. Is that true or not?

53:20 Caller Shut up.

53:21 Drew That has not been substantiated.

53:22 311 But have there been documented cases?

53:25 Drew Yes. Homosexual cases of transmission through oral sex. Four cases.

53:29 Adam Over an ounce? That sounds ridiculous.

53:31 Drew Those were absolutely categorically prospectively shown.

53:36 Adam Do you put out more than else?

53:39 Drew Evidently. I think that's right because the mouth is not a great environment for the virus. It doesn't like the mouth and it dies in the mouth, but it gets down to the esophagus and that's where it can do its thing.

53:48 Adam But the amount is, that's a ridiculous hypothesis.

53:51 Drew I agree. I think the virus is so dilute in body fluid that that might be what that's referring to. You have to have a certain amount in order to have a probability that the virus is even present. And now it sounds about right to me, but you know, you could get a bad drip too. It could have the virus.

54:06 Adam Sure. There's the name of your band.

54:08 311 It would depend upon how far the person was along, how concentrated it was.

54:13 Drew That's a great point. There are different phases of the disease in terms of the viral, the concentration of the virus. And later in the early, very initially in the disease and much later in the disease there can be a lot more virus and people are a lot more contagious then.

54:25 Adam I don't think the average guy puts out more than an ounce. Do you?

54:31 311 I'm trying to picture an ounce.

54:33 Drew A fluid ounce is a hard thing for me to...

54:35 Adam Well, I always picture a shot glass.

54:37 Drew It's like five, it's like 10 cc's. It's like two...

54:40 Adam Is what comes out of a guy is like 10 cc's?

54:43 Drew No, I think it's like five cc's comes out.

54:45 311 I mean, I can picture it like a puddle size, like you gotta use like with the cross.

54:49 Adam Yeah, to me it's like, yeah. There's the two Kleenex load and the five Kleenex load, but...

54:56 311 Like I said last time I was on the show, if like the guy was saying that he can't do it because he has a real problem cleaning up, do it in a sock, okay?

55:04 Adam Yeah, oh yeah.

55:04 311 Put the sock in the laundry.

55:06 Adam Yeah, except for my maid gets hold of the stuff and then I have to beat her down to the washing machine and stuff. It's really, it's humiliating. It's weird. You don't get into that. Nick, have you had this humiliating problem?

55:21 311 No.

55:22 Adam The lady comes once a week and she's doing all this. Oh yeah.

55:26 311 She just throws it in the laundry.

55:27 Adam No, look at some of that stuff like a t-shirt when it's stuck together and you're pulling it apart.

55:32 311 It's on the inside of the sock.

55:33 Adam Inside of the sock?

55:34 311 Yeah, she has no business looking in there.

55:37 Adam Do you put the sock over your penis?

55:39 311 Yeah, what do you think?

55:41 Adam I would find that a distraction. At what stage does the sock go over the penis?

55:45 311 No, it was really something like that.

55:48 Drew Very Adam, you just mix it up. Surprise yourself.

55:51 Adam I don't know, because I've had some t-shirts that have been used more than once. And then they get stuck together.

55:56 Drew Before it's washed?

55:57 Adam Yeah. As I've said many a time, when dirty clothes come off me, they've just begun the journey. They're not even halfway into what their duties are around the house. There's many things that will go on with socks and t-shirts between the time they come off of me and the time they make it into the washing machine. And it's all bad. And the maid gets hold of it. And I don't know what to do. I get down there and pull it out. No, I'll take care of this.

56:25 Drew I'll sort it for you.

56:26 Adam She wants to know why I'm just doing the whites and I don't seem to handle anything else. Anyway, Drew, when you take a shot, tequila shot, what is it, two ounces?

56:38 311 Two or three ounces?

56:39 Adam Couple ounces?

56:40 Drew I think it's two ounces.

56:42 Caller So a shot is two ounces?

56:43 Adam Yeah, a shot is a couple ounces. So one ounce, you got to fill half, not half the shot glass, but...

56:49 Drew You don't put out that much.

56:50 Adam Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. But, you know, bottom's up anyway, fellas.

56:55 Drew Good times.

56:56 Adam Tim?

56:57 Yeah.

56:57 Adam You're 16?

56:59 Caller Yeah, Adam, you're my hero.

57:00 Adam Thank you.

57:01 Caller And Drew, you're the most passionate man in the face of the surf.

57:04 Adam He is a very passionate man. Very.

57:06 Drew But, um... How does Tim know that? It scares me.

57:10 Caller Common knowledge again.

57:12 311 Word about town in Chicago.

57:13 Drew It's on the web.

57:15 311 It's all over the web.

57:16 Caller But, Nick, you're coming to Twisted Aid next week, right? In Chicago?

57:21 311 Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.

57:22 Caller I was wondering what kind of songs you're going to be playing?

57:26 311 Hard ones, catchy ones.

57:29 Drew Is that venue suitable to certain kinds of music?

57:32 311 No. That's the name of their radio show.

57:35 Drew Oh, I see.

57:36 Adam It's funny. I knew that, Drew, and I was supposed to talk about other radio shows. But I didn't know that there was any Twisted Aid radio show. I just could tell by Nick's reaction, like, yeah, you're going to be there, that we're supposed to talk about other radio shows. But you not being a human being didn't pick up that at all.

57:56 Drew Even knowing it, I can't get it out of what I just heard.

57:58 Adam Yeah. Well, that's okay. What station is it for? We'll give them a plug.

58:02 Caller Q101.

58:03 Adam Oh, we're on Q101.

58:04 311 Yeah.

58:04 Adam Oh, you have our blessing.

58:06 Caller Yeah.

58:07 311 Plug away.

58:08 Adam Well, aren't, isn't, I demand, I mean, how much does your set change from, I mean, obviously, it's shorter if you're, if, obviously, when you're headlining and when you're playing one of these radio shows, you've got 40 minutes.

58:22 311 We just have 30 minutes at this, you know, the KROQ show is so packed full of people. So, yeah, but we're just pretty much just play like a selection, maybe one song off each album, a couple of ones from the new one in 30 minutes. But, well, why you got a request? Not really.

58:43 Caller I just can't wait to see you guys rock.

58:45 Adam Is it kind of nice in the sense that you get to do a little, like, you know, all star? I mean, pick your ten favorite songs.

58:54 311 Yeah, but we're used to playing 90 minutes minimum, so we're just getting warmed up when the set's over. So that's a little bit frustrating, but we get used to it.

59:03 Drew Also used to getting paid for the gigs.

59:05 Adam Oh, yeah, I guess you're used to making money, not paying for the tickets.

59:07 311 That's a little frustrating, too.

59:11 Adam Yeah, well, you want to keep playing the records. You got to play the gigs. Let's see, Paola is alive and well. It's just sort of done in an above-the-board way.

59:22 Drew For charity.

59:23 Adam Yeah. But in a way, I mean, it's like, all right, so you got to play these radio shows, because it's a charity, it's a wonderful event and a good cause, even though none of us are sure what it is. But you got to keep in good with the radio station because they play the songs, but they sell the records, and that's business. I mean, in a way, it's like you're not getting paid, but on the other hand, the album goes platinum and you're getting paid.

59:48 Drew It's your marketing. It's your marketing.

59:50 311 Yeah.

59:51 Adam Yeah. It's like when a company takes out an ad in the Super Bowl, it costs them a bunch of money, and then theoretically, they make it back at some point.

1:00:00 311 Yeah. But really, I mean, it's basically like one day sort of Lollapalooza as you're hanging out with all these different bands and you get to go play in front of a bunch of people that maybe came to see someone else. So it's a way to play for new people and it's cool.

1:00:19 Adam Yeah. It's fun. I think it's kind of fun for the audience too. I mean, of course it is. There's a bunch of bands that would play the venue alone who are basically playing it with 10 other bands that size. I like it when you run too long and they just start turning the turntable on you and spin you around like they did to the Fugees at the Weenie Roast like five years ago. They just start turning it. Guys are in the middle of the song and they just start turning the turn. Yeah, because the golden time is so much for the venues. It's like five grand a minute or something. It's like some crazy amount of money that they can't run late. Think about how much it costs to get the Universal Amphitheater, how much 10 minutes is past the cutoff time with 500 people working there and security and the whole nine yards.

1:01:11 Caller Alex?

1:01:12 Caller Yes.

1:01:13 Adam You're 23?

1:01:14 Caller Yes.

1:01:14 Adam What's up?

1:01:15 Caller I have a, I guess, bad breath and I was wondering like what would be some of the, I guess...

1:01:21 311 Floss.

1:01:22 Drew Yeah, well make sure you see the dentists, make sure it's not dental caries.

1:01:25 Caller Yeah, I've done all that.

1:01:26 Drew And then the tongue is the next place, the back of the tongue particularly. There are actually some dentists that can specialize in helping you with this to the point they actually measure the gas produced by the bacteria that tend to overgrow the back of the tongue and whatnot. But your first order of business is to brush regularly your mouth, get a tongue scraper, okay? And watch your diet. Also, what's in your stomach? And if you have a little heartburn or reflux, that sort of thing can affect you.

1:01:47 Caller Could it be like any throat problems or anything like that?

1:01:49 Drew I mean like what?

1:01:51 Caller Like, I don't, it just, it kind of feels like it's coming from the throat.

1:01:55 Drew Yeah, well, I just gave you a whole lecture about that. It's the throat and the tongue are connected. And you really, you don't have accurate sensation of what's going on behind your tongue.

1:02:05 Adam Well, what could you possibly do for your throat anyway?

1:02:08 Drew Well, that is your throat. I mean, think, what is your throat? It's the back of your mouth, right?

1:02:12 Adam Well, I don't know.

1:02:12 311 And the tongue is really long.

1:02:13 Drew The tongue is the main part of that back of your mouth. There's the roof, there's the soft palate and what's behind that, which basically connects with the nose and your tongue.

1:02:20 Adam I think people look at the throat as basically the tunnel that goes from your mouth down to your belly.

1:02:25 Drew No, the first part of that tunnel is the tongue.

1:02:28 Adam Yeah, I know.

1:02:28 Drew And then the next part is larynx and pharynx.

1:02:30 Adam Well, that's where they're thinking the throat part.

1:02:32 Drew No, that's, they don't, mm-mm.

1:02:34 Adam Oh, look, when someone socks you in the throat, does your tongue hurt?

1:02:37 Drew In the neck?

1:02:38 Adam Does your tongue hurt when someone socks you in the throat?

1:02:41 Drew If they hit you up here, yeah.

1:02:42 Adam If someone, no.

1:02:43 Drew This is all talk.

1:02:44 Adam No, your tongue doesn't hurt.

1:02:46 Caller Your throat hurts.

1:02:47 Adam You're Adam's apple.

1:02:48 Drew Yes.

1:02:49 Adam You're larynx hurts.

1:02:49 311 Adam's been socked in the neck enough times.

1:02:52 Adam Yeah, my tongue never hurt. Now, I get socked in the tongue, that's different. Or the guy doesn't pull out.

1:02:59 Drew That is where the breath of bacteria are, is in the back of the tongue.

1:03:01 Adam There's a whole science now to this.

1:03:03 Drew Give me my hand out of your book, come on.

1:03:05 Adam They hook you up to the hobo meter, they can tell how much stinks coming out of you.

1:03:09 Drew How much hobo power? Down there.

1:03:11 311 Right. While I'm looking this up, you know, I heard that like, scope and stuff like that, it doesn't do anything, but like Listerine, it does more because it's-

1:03:21 Drew The bacteria is the idea.

1:03:22 Adam Because it tastes like ass. I mean, yeah, Listerine, it tastes like it's doing something because it hurts a little.

1:03:29 Caller I mean, it's not really pleasant.

1:03:30 311 It actually kills germs.

1:03:31 Caller Right.

1:03:33 Adam All right. Drew's got out his book. He's now going to bore Saul with the picture of the throat. Can I take another call or are we going to do this?

1:03:42 Drew This is the throat you're talking about right there, right?

1:03:44 Adam No. When people say throat, this is what they're talking about.

1:03:47 Drew When you get a sore throat, this is what hurts up here.

1:03:51 Adam I'm not going to argue with that, but I'm saying people put a scarf around their throat. They think their throat is in the neck. See what I'm saying?

1:03:59 Drew That's bizarre.

1:04:01 Adam Why is that bizarre?

1:04:02 Drew This is your airway. This goes into your lungs. This is your esophagus right here. Your throat is way up here. Look, this is all tongue. This part just connects with the nose.

1:04:11 Caller All right.

1:04:12 Adam Good times.

1:04:13 311 The excitement of listening to someone point at a diagram on the radio.

1:04:19 Adam Nick plays in a band, smokes a ton of weed and still knows more about radio than you, Drew. Does that bother you at all? No.

1:04:26 311 He's a passionate man.

1:04:28 Adam He's a passionate, passionate man.

1:04:29 Drew I need you to know, Adam. I need you to understand.

1:04:32 Adam You're right. You're right. I just neck and throat are what idiots from the valley think of and I'm one. Go ahead, Annie.

1:04:41 Hi. I just wanted to say hi to Nick and ask him a question. Hi, Drew and Adam.

1:04:47 Caller Hey.

1:04:48 311 Lay it on me, Annie.

1:04:50 Caller All right. Wow. I can't believe this.

1:04:53 I just want to know what happened that made you write Flowing.

1:04:57 311 Flowing is about insomnia and it's about like saying, the more it will spin, the more that I try to stop my mind flowing. You know, my mind's spinning and I can't turn it off at night. I really found out that it was just a matter of just a lot of things that were going on in my life that I wasn't really happy with, you know, personally, like relationship-wise at that time. And, you know, I found, yeah, I just wasn't sleeping and that's what that song's about and how you just feel like when you're up all night and everyone else is just like sleeping happily, you feel really like alone and, you know, I just found I could, I really, I have no problem with that now. I like, just have a real active day and, you know, don't, you know, make sure I stay awake until like, you know, sometimes I would go to bed really early for no reason, then I would wake up at like one o'clock in the morning and stay up pretty much for the rest of the night, which really sucks. So now it's not, it's not a problem anymore, but that's what that song's about.

1:06:05 Caller Oh, wow.

1:06:06 And I just wanted to tell you that your band is absolutely amazing.

1:06:10 Caller And I love you guys.

1:06:11 And I adore you guys for all that you stand for and all the positive love vibes you send out to your listeners. And thanks, your music has really made me change my views on people and life. And I just really wanted to let you know that. Oh, my gosh. And I saw you guys at Warped Tour and you guys rocked.

1:06:27 311 Thanks.

1:06:28 Caller Yeah. And you guys. Oh, my gosh. You came here twice and like they're both 21 and up shows and I'm only 17. I can't go.

1:06:34 311 And I was wondering where we don't really play 21 and over shows. Usually. Where was that?

1:06:39 Drew San Diego.

1:06:40 Caller In San Diego. Yeah.

1:06:41 You came to Street Scene and it was 21 and up day. And then like you're coming to Fosse the Showman on Saturday.

1:06:47 311 I was wondering why that crowd didn't really go off that hard. We played between like the Black Crows and someone else's because everyone was old.

1:06:56 Adam Bunch of 22 year old geezers.

1:06:59 Caller Yeah, you guys played.

1:07:01 Yeah, I missed it.

1:07:02 Adam How's your life going there, Annie?

1:07:04 It's great. I love life and I love living.

1:07:07 Adam That's right.

1:07:08 311 It's nice to hear for a change.

1:07:09 I'm young and I'm going to live it up and try and stay young forever.

1:07:12 Adam Embrace every day.

1:07:14 Drew We want to be free.

1:07:14 Caller Yeah, we want to do what we want to do.

1:07:16 Exactly.

1:07:17 Caller Here, that's right.

1:07:18 Caller Just what is it that you want to do? We want to be free.

1:07:22 Caller We want to be free to do what we want to do.

1:07:25 Caller We want to get loaded and we want to have a good time. That's what we're going to do.

1:07:29 Caller Well, when baby, let's go.

1:07:31 Caller We're going to have a good time.

1:07:33 Caller We're going to have a party.

1:07:34 I just had one more question.

1:07:36 Caller Are you guys having a sound check for Frosty the Showman?

1:07:39 Adam You're having a sound check?

1:07:40 311 Oh, is that Saturday?

1:07:42 Caller Yeah.

1:07:42 Drew We have to know whether to hang out or not. Yeah.

1:07:44 311 No, no. We're not sound checking that day.

1:07:46 Caller Oh, no.

1:07:48 Caller All right. Thank you so much.

1:07:51 311 All right, Annie.

1:07:51 Adam Thanks, Annie.

1:07:52 Caller I love you.

1:07:53 Adam Good times, baby.

1:07:54 Caller Bye.

1:07:55 311 Bye.

1:07:56 Adam How do you do a show without having a sound check?

1:07:59 311 Oh, man. That's one of the ins and outs of a radio show, you know, especially like I use in-ear monitors so I can hear exactly what's going on. And if you don't have a sound check, you might have some just screaming right in your ear hole. Oh, it's not fun.

1:08:16 Adam But man, yeah, it is. So meaning you don't need those feedback monitors that are out on stage or do you have those still?

1:08:26 311 They're there, but I don't use them.

1:08:28 Adam Is that for the rest of the band or is that for you?

1:08:31 311 I'm the only one that uses them in my band, but I'm trying to talk the rest of them into doing it because I think that you don't hear the bouncing, so you can play a lot tighter and for a vocalist, you can hear the notes really well. So I'm into them and a lot of really good singers are. And some bands are completely on them, but everyone has their individual tastes or what they want.

1:08:55 Adam Yeah, they've been around for a few years, right? But not that long.

1:08:59 311 I've helped design a new style that has like a, people don't like them because they feel too cut off because it's like completely takes over your whole ear, right? You can't hear anything except what's on through the wires. But now I told them like a year and a half ago, make a little port, make a little hole so you can hear what's going on so you can hear the crowd and stuff as well. So now that's the new ones that are coming out are going to have that.

1:09:28 Adam Wow, that's nice that you're able to give them that feedback and aid in the design.

1:09:32 311 Yeah, but I love my in-ears. I go jogging with them. I mean, they're like the best headphones in the world.

1:09:38 Adam Oh, you mean you have them fitted like we had that once. Drew, didn't you used to have an IFB thing? And yeah, they pour like wax in your ear, like make a mold. And so it's all fitted exactly in there.

1:09:53 311 Exactly.

1:09:53 Adam And when you say you go jogging with it, is it, do you just plug it into a CD player?

1:09:57 311 It's just a regular headphone jack that would go into a CD player or an iPod, which is what I've been using. And...

1:10:06 Adam Do you use two of them on stage or just one ear?

1:10:09 311 Both ears.

1:10:09 Adam Both ears.

1:10:10 311 Yeah.

1:10:11 Adam And how much are those things?

1:10:14 311 Like 900 bucks for a pair. But you got to get the mold for your ear made separate, which you pay an ear doctor to do.

1:10:21 Adam Right.

1:10:22 311 So, every time I buy a new pair, since they already have my mold, it's like 900 bucks. To start up, probably 1500.

1:10:28 Adam And the iPod is like, holds like a whole bunch of songs and doesn't have any like CD or anything in it?

1:10:35 311 Yeah.

1:10:36 Adam Is this all like digital and everything?

1:10:38 311 My iPod, I mean, it has hundreds and hundreds of songs in there.

1:10:42 Adam How do you get them in there? Off the computer?

1:10:44 311 Yeah.

1:10:45 Adam Oh, Drew, I got to get someone to do this for me. I couldn't do it myself, but I... I have an 8-track cassette and a car battery that I bring on a dollar.

1:10:55 Drew Do you have to have...

1:10:55 Adam And there's huge headphones with the antennas come off. I jog with this thing.

1:10:59 311 Do you have to...

1:11:00 Drew If you use iPod, do you have to have a Mac system? Or can you...

1:11:03 311 I do use Mac, but I read that it is Windows compatible, but it works really, really easily with iTunes, which is the Mac, you know, encoding and music playing.

1:11:18 Adam So do you... How do you get the... I'm a total layman here, but yet... See, I never get on board with any of this technology, but the notion of having hundreds of songs in digital quality, and it doesn't skip or anything, right?

1:11:33 311 No, see, it's my third MP3 player, and the first two only held about one CD worth.

1:11:38 Adam Right.

1:11:38 311 You know what I mean? And this one holds a thousand songs.

1:11:42 Adam And it's the size of what?

1:11:45 311 It's the size of a deck of cards.

1:11:47 Caller Geez.

1:11:49 Adam What's on them? Nudie Chicks or? Oh, just the size. It's not...

1:11:53 311 I have the entire Beatles catalog on mine.

1:11:55 Adam Oh, you jog and listen to nothing but 311.

1:11:58 311 No, listen, system of it down. That's my jogging music lately.

1:12:02 Drew Really?

1:12:03 311 Really, man.

1:12:04 Drew Come back with that.

1:12:05 Adam All right, I got to get into this. Drew, wouldn't you love to have this thing?

1:12:08 Drew Yeah, iPods, yeah. Want to get me one?

1:12:11 Adam Just real quick, real quick. How do you get the music, if you got a CD?

1:12:15 Drew Let's ask him during the break.

1:12:16 Adam No, no, people want to know. I want to know. If you got the CD, how do you get it into the iPod? You put the CD into the computer and then put the computer into the iPod?

1:12:26 311 You put the CD in the computer and if your computer has an internet connection going, then it'll quick scan that CD and then it'll know all the song titles and the album and the artists and everything.

1:12:38 Adam Okay.

1:12:38 311 And then it'll encode those files and then it knows and then it encodes with the song names and everything and then when you zap it over to your iPod, then it has all the...

1:12:48 Adam Dr. What's he saying? I don't know.

1:12:50 Drew I'm speaking French I think.

1:12:51 Adam All right. All right, I love this notion. Drew, let's work on this during the break. We'll be back.

1:13:28 311 It is indeed, I really think it is a genius album.

1:13:32 Adam Nick Hexum is here from 311, talking a little tech with Nick, and talking about our good friend, System of a Down, who since they gave me the movie Taboo 2, it was just always...

1:13:47 Drew We're supposed to have a dinner with their family too. They've been bugging us about that.

1:13:52 Adam Yeah, they want to whip us up some Armenian food?

1:13:54 Drew Yeah, the moms are Armenian genius cooks. We've got to eat at their house.

1:14:00 Adam Let me tell you guys something. A lot of people are a little bit freaked out by the Middle Eastern cuisine. It is solid. I think they're a little freaked out by... They got names like...

1:14:12 Caller Shwarma.

1:14:14 Adam Baba Ghanoush, Shwarma, and what the hell is that?

1:14:19 311 The food is solid, but your bowel movements may not be accurate.

1:14:22 Adam Right.

1:14:23 Drew Also, I think we're used to stuff that's on the street. It's not as good as homemade ramen.

1:14:27 Adam And they're very goat-heavy, and they're cooking too.

1:14:31 Drew Yeah, lamb and goat.

1:14:32 Adam It can be a little tough for a lot of us white folk, but it is solid stuff over there. You should go out. And the service isn't always as friendly as it could be. What do you want? I'll have the falafel. $4. I told you, I went to buy falafel at a place, and the guy goes, $4. And I go, um, jeez, I don't have any cash. Can I pay for it with my credit card? And he goes, yes, $10 minimum. And I go, um, OK, you know what? Just give me the falafel and discharge me $10.

1:15:08 Caller No.

1:15:09 Adam I said, no, no, you misunderstand. Charge me the $10 minimum with the credit card. Just give me the $4 falafel. No, cannot do that. Next. I said, you can't charge me the $10 for the $4 falafel.

1:15:20 311 I'll take three.

1:15:21 Adam No, no, I swear I got a chick next to me.

1:15:24 He goes, get baklava.

1:15:26 Adam Pat it with the baklava. She was like helping out. If you get two baklava and one of those yogurt-flavored drinks, you'll be right about ten. And I was like, no, I'm not. Just charge me the ten for the $4 falafel. And he's like, no. Then I left.

1:15:45 311 That kind of food is huge in Europe. When we were on tour there, you live on that stuff, like a kebab joint on every corner.

1:15:51 Adam Oh, really? What part of Europe?

1:15:54 311 Like London, Amsterdam, just all over.

1:15:58 Adam Interesting. You cannot go wrong. Tahini. There's another good one. Good name. Brenda?

1:16:05 Yeah.

1:16:06 Adam You're 21?

1:16:07 Caller Right.

1:16:08 Adam What's up?

1:16:09 Caller I'm having somewhat of a problem. I've been with my boyfriend for about three years now. Went to my gynecologist. When I have intercourse with my boyfriend, I'm not getting wet in the beginning. So when I went to my gynecologist, he said, oh, here's just some KY gelling. I'm like, no, something's seriously wrong here. I'm supposed to produce this stuff and nothing's happening. And he just gave me the KY gelling.

1:16:32 Caller So when I'm with my boyfriend, we have to foreplay before we do anything at all.

1:16:37 Caller And then we have the intercourse. And then eventually, something happens.

1:16:41 Caller But I'm just wondering...

1:16:42 Drew No, I've yet to meet a woman that didn't need foreplay. So are you expecting you wouldn't need that?

1:16:46 Caller Wait, excuse me?

1:16:47 Drew I've never seen a female human that didn't need foreplay.

1:16:50 Caller No, no, no, I mean like, like, I mean, I don't mind it. Don't get me wrong on anything. But like, I'm talking to my female friends and they said, you know...

1:16:57 Drew Well, and what is it? What is it? Your con... Is this interrupting?

1:17:00 Caller I think something is wrong with me because I'm not getting wet at all. And it takes a while.

1:17:03 Drew What is your fantasy? What is your fantasy that's wrong with you?

1:17:06 Caller Nothing wrong with me that I know of.

1:17:07 Drew No, what is it? Why are you worried? What's the fantasy that could be wrong here? Why is it will concern you?

1:17:13 Caller Because nothing is happening and it takes so long for it to happen.

1:17:16 Drew I understand, but here's the reality, some people are just that way.

1:17:20 Caller I mean, is it just me? I mean, he's also my first. So I was thinking maybe that had something to do with it, you know, I'm not, you know, my experience. I've only been with my boyfriend. This is the only guy I've been with, so...

1:17:30 Drew What are you doing in terms of birth control?

1:17:32 Caller I'm on a prepper-preparation.

1:17:34 Drew Okay, that commonly does this.

1:17:36 Caller Really?

1:17:37 Drew Yeah, real common.

1:17:38 Adam How come the gyno didn't pipe out?

1:17:40 Drew Yeah, I don't know why. I was afraid she was going to say this thing.

1:17:42 Adam Maybe he gave her the depot shot and it didn't feel like back-paddling.

1:17:46 Drew Right, and they're more worried about achieving proper contraception. They just go here tonight, now you had the shot, now you got to use the KY. But you might know when that shot wears off after three months, you might want to switch over to a pill that's got some estrogen in it.

1:17:58 Caller But I actually heard that the pill, that the shot was more effective than the pill, because that's what my gynecologist told me.

1:18:03 Drew It's not more, it's more effective because people don't have to remember to take it. That's the only reason it's more effective.

1:18:10 Caller So you think, I mean, like as soon as, but before I even became sexually alternative, I got on the shot, so I mean, that might have something to do with it, because I'm thinking something's wrong.

1:18:19 Drew No, no, it's, I bet you it's the shot, I bet you. I bet you, yeah, I bet you.

1:18:23 Adam All right, so you use the KY until the shot wears off.

1:18:26 Caller I know, but it starts to suck after a while for three years, every time we just want to have sex.

1:18:31 Drew Yeah, get on the pill. Get on the pill. When was your last shot?

1:18:35 Caller I'm actually due next month.

1:18:36 Drew Perfect, get on the pill, try the Triphasic Pill.

1:18:38 311 There's your answer.

1:18:39 Drew Triphasic Pill, all right?

1:18:40 311 Helping people nationwide.

1:18:42 Caller Okay, can I ask you one more question?

1:18:43 Drew Yeah.

1:18:44 Caller After, let's say, because I have to go in late January for the next shot, and you have to go in every three months. Now, how long can I not be on the shot and have intercourse before the trend is in me getting pregnant?

1:18:57 Drew I mean, if you start the pill up right away.

1:19:00 Caller Yeah, you don't have to wait for three months before it wears off. I can just start it.

1:19:04 Drew No, you have to. It's best if you wait. You'll be starting the pill in January, when the shot wears off. And what you've got to talk to gynecologists about is whether you'll have adequate contraception the first month you take the pill. Most guys will say, most gynecologists will say you should wait the first month and add a condom during that month. But the triphasic pills though, there's some people believe they might be adequately safe even the first month.

1:19:27 Adam What if she got on the pill in like early January? Yeah. Would that be too much hormone in her body?

1:19:32 Drew Not necessarily. I mean, again, that's something she could talk with every gynecologist about.

1:19:36 Adam Hmm. Good times. Let's talk to, and yeah, you know, it bothers me when Drew knows a pet peeve of mine is this sort of data with a spin on it where they say, well, this is not as effective a birth control device as this is. Well, the reason it isn't is because people get stoned and don't take it, and that's what they're factoring in, but what they should say is taken, you know, according to direction, it is just as effective.

1:20:04 Drew Right.

1:20:05 Adam They leave that part out, and it doesn't give you the opportunity to make a choice.

1:20:09 Drew Yes.

1:20:09 Adam They go, this one is more effective, this one works better, and you take it.

1:20:14 Drew They do the math for you, which is, your young female have seemed to be kind of, I don't know if you're, how you're, you stay able to take a pill.

1:20:20 Adam You hit your head on the door on the way in, because it said, it said pull, and you push on it.

1:20:25 Drew Therefore, I decided for you, for people like you, this is more effective, so the math's already done for you.

1:20:30 Adam I see. All right. Gina.

1:20:33 Caller Hi. Hi, guys. I'm 18.

1:20:35 Adam All right.

1:20:35 Caller And I just want to tell you that I think you guys are hot. I'm a stripper, and I'm having this kind of dilemma at the club that I work at. One of the bouncers used to be my track coach in high school.

1:20:48 311 Oh, my God.

1:20:50 Caller Yeah. And we've gotten a little bit closer. And when I go out to bachelor parties, you know, he offered to come with me because he's really protective of me.

1:20:59 Adam Sure.

1:21:00 Caller And so we've...

1:21:01 Adam With the Olympics coming up, keep an eye on you.

1:21:04 Caller And we've gotten a lot closer. In fact, two months ago, we ended up having sex. But the thing that draws me off is that both of us were a little bit buzzed. Me personally, I had to get buzzed because I was... I had to relax. I was so... I'm so...

1:21:18 Drew You had a buzz because this guy had a plan. Is he reacting as though you're... Like, we just think just one thing went through another. This guy had a plan.

1:21:26 311 He was putting drinks in front of you, wasn't he? No.

1:21:28 Caller I was the one who asked for it. He was already out with his friends. He already had a little bit of a buzz.

1:21:34 Adam Okay. How old is this guy?

1:21:36 Caller He's 25.

1:21:38 Adam Does he still work at the school?

1:21:40 Caller Yeah, he does. But he's not a teacher.

1:21:42 Caller He's just a coach there.

1:21:44 Drew That implies similar responsibility.

1:21:47 Adam I would have rather buffed one of my teachers than one of my coaches. I mean, if you were just going to give me a choice. Mr. Nielsen, are you kidding? Guy in his 60s, big, thick forms and fat fingers? No way.

1:21:58 Caller Yeah. And you got to give 110 percent.

1:22:04 Caller The weird thing is that ever since that incident, we have not talked about it. We've been cool with each other.

1:22:09 Adam Did he coach you when you were having sex? It looks like, come on, leg it out.

1:22:13 Caller No, no. Seriously.

1:22:15 Adam You got to want it.

1:22:16 311 Feel the burn.

1:22:16 Caller The thing that I had done while he was coaching me was check out my butt. That's the most. And then...

1:22:23 311 Why did you pick this particular profession, may I ask?

1:22:26 Caller Because I'm in college right now.

1:22:28 Drew You just needed some money for college.

1:22:30 Caller Yeah, I needed money for college.

1:22:31 Caller And my parents kind of... I'm on half scholarship here, but I have to worry about the other half.

1:22:36 Adam Half of the strip joint or half of the college?

1:22:38 Caller Half of the college.

1:22:41 311 Stripper college.

1:22:42 Drew How much is tuition per year?

1:22:44 Caller It's about $24,000.

1:22:46 311 Wow.

1:22:47 Caller Where are you at?

1:22:48 Caller Mount St. Mary's.

1:22:49 Caller Wow.

1:22:49 Caller I go to this Catholic school, but I'm a naughty girl, I strip.

1:22:56 Adam I'm going to use this later. Where do you strip?

1:22:58 Caller What club?

1:23:00 Caller You want to know? The Truth or Mike's Club?

1:23:02 Adam Make up one I've never heard of. It's not in the area, so I can have no satisfaction.

1:23:06 Caller It's the Valley Ball.

1:23:08 Adam The what?

1:23:08 Caller The Valley Ball.

1:23:10 Adam Oh, is that like out on Sepulveda or something?

1:23:14 Caller Yeah, it is.

1:23:17 Drew Have you ever seen Adam there, Gina?

1:23:19 Adam Yeah, he used to be called something else. He used to be called like the, I don't know, high ball or the crazy ball or oddball. Yeah, the oddball.

1:23:28 Caller I mean, I'm only a tiny nose. I've heard of it. Here's the weird part. I haven't told him my feelings or anything like that. In fact, even after we had sex, I didn't want him to diss me, so I actually pretended as if I didn't know him.

1:23:42 Caller He actually felt kind of hurt.

1:23:44 Caller He told me, you know, why are you avoiding me? I said, we have to pretend like nothing happens to none of the coworkers.

1:23:50 Adam Oh, hold on with the S word there.

1:23:54 Caller Some of our coworkers talk a lot about us.

1:23:56 Drew Do you have a boyfriend? Do you want a boyfriend?

1:24:00 Caller No, I don't have a boyfriend. And I don't want a boyfriend either because, you know, college is just very high.

1:24:06 Adam Okay, so what do you care if this guy is paying attention to you or not, if you don't want a boyfriend?

1:24:11 Caller Here's the thing, like, I feel like I want him, but I don't want him in a relationship.

1:24:16 Drew Oh boy.

1:24:17 Caller I want him in my life and I feel close to him when we have sex.

1:24:21 Adam Sure, he's on top of you.

1:24:23 Caller And in fact, I went to this big party last Saturday and I got drunk and, you know, when I get drunk I get very honest and so I called him and I started telling him I want him.

1:24:33 Adam You're not exactly a closed book when you're sober.

1:24:36 Drew I have news for you. I would call her a pipe. But you do have a lot of features of alcoholism here. I suspect that disease is going to begin to be a big part of your life.

1:24:48 Adam Hold on, we got to take a break. I'm not nearly done. What we're going to do is we'll dedicate the rest of the show to Gina and then part of Monday's show to Gina as well. I've got a lot of questions. 18, doing a lot of drinking, having a lot of chaos, but goes to a good college and is on the track team. And what a boner for that track coach. You know what I mean? She's in those dolphin shorts, getting down in those blocks. She's checking her ass out all semester.

1:25:18 Caller Oh, the blocks.

1:25:19 Adam Pow, pow. But I want to talk to her. I want to talk about these bachelor parties she's doing too, because there's a whole, I mean, stripping is one thing, but the bachelor part is like a whole other level. I mean, that's pornography.

1:25:32 Drew Oh, really?

1:25:33 Adam Oh, yeah. Don't play stupid.

1:25:34 Drew No, I've never been to one.

1:25:37 311 Then, I mean, the girls that come to strip and then afterwards they'll do whatever you want for the right price. I mean, that's right. They're not just strippers, they're usually hookers. I mean, yeah, often times.

1:25:48 Drew Often times.

1:25:48 311 I mean, you're more of an expert on it than me, but...

1:25:50 Adam Well, when you front a big band, they're all hookers. The world's a hooker when you front a big band. When family turns into prostitutes, when you front a big band, of course. We'll take a little break and we'll be right back with Crazy Gina.

1:26:12 Caller Loveline, I'm Adam, that's Drew. Nick Hexum is here from 311.

1:26:18 Adam When we left off, we were speaking to Crazy Gina, who goes to a decent college, ran track in high school, but is 18, getting drunk a lot, and working as a stripper.

1:26:30 Drew Chaotic relationships.

1:26:31 Adam Gina, what about these bachelor parties you do?

1:26:34 Caller Um, bachelor parties are honestly just the place where I make bank. I don't do anything with those guys. It grosses me out. That's why I bring, you know, a body guy with me all the time.

1:26:45 Adam Well, and he's got to flip the cassette on the boombox too. I know it's part of his gig and make change.

1:26:53 Caller Yeah.

1:26:53 Adam Yeah, and well, but these...

1:26:54 311 Just be careful. I mean, after I said that, I was like, well, I'm sure there's, you know, plenty of them that don't do anything. I've only been to one in my life and they were really, you know, sleazy.

1:27:04 Caller Actually, I'm not a typical stripper. Like, I'm honestly, I honestly just love to be naked and I like to dance.

1:27:11 311 I love dancing and, well, for me, I like to be naked. They're just not in front of things.

1:27:16 Adam The only time I truly feel free is when I'm dancing. And I think that's with Gina, too, right?

1:27:21 Caller Yeah, definitely.

1:27:22 Adam That's how I know I'm alive.

1:27:23 Caller Yeah, I don't, I don't, you know, find myself in other aspects at all.

1:27:28 Adam But, but these bachelor parties, you're getting into some pretty funky stuff, right?

1:27:32 Caller Yeah. I mean, you know, it definitely can get dangerous sometimes.

1:27:36 Adam I mean, getting into like dildos and stuff?

1:27:39 Caller Um, sometimes, yeah, you know, they're, they're props you can use, but I don't, I don't get involved with any of the guys.

1:27:45 Adam But the props are dildos, they're not like breakaway bottles or anything.

1:27:48 Drew Speaking of props, we got to hear another 311 song.

1:27:51 Adam Are they talking in your ear?

1:27:52 Drew Yes.

1:27:53 Adam Didn't I just tell them no?

1:27:55 Drew Oh, don't want to play it?

1:27:56 Adam Well, no, I like, I like 311, but I was, I was looking at the clock too, and I was thinking...

1:28:01 311 We've taken like three calls.

1:28:02 Adam Yeah, I don't know. You think we can squeeze it in?

1:28:05 Drew Yep.

1:28:05 311 Whatever.

1:28:06 Adam You want to do it? All right. Hey, Gina?

1:28:09 Caller Yeah?

1:28:09 Adam Hey, we got to sell more 311 now. I'm sorry about the alcoholism.

1:28:13 311 No, we can talk to Gina right now.

1:28:14 Caller No, I'm kidding. Is there any way I didn't, there's an important question that I didn't get to. Is there anything I can ask you?

1:28:19 Drew Call her back. We're gonna call you back on Sunday. Can we do that?

1:28:22 Caller You're gonna call me back?

1:28:23 Drew Monday.

1:28:23 Adam No, we're not.

1:28:24 Drew There, they said yes, they're gonna...

1:28:25 Adam All right, call her back.

1:28:27 Drew All right, put her on hold. Yeah, put her on hold.

1:28:29 Adam Okay. All right, well, she's dancing.

1:28:31 Let them know.

1:28:33 311 She likes to be naked.

1:28:34 Adam All right, here's 311 with Amber.

1:29:42 311 Fly through my headline to fear.

1:32:13 Adam Well, there you go, over in the blink of an eye.

1:32:17 Drew Yeah, good show.

1:32:19 Adam I thank Nick Hexum for that, because the show just blew by.

1:32:23 311 It did, it flew by.

1:32:24 Adam And enjoyable as well. Everybody go out there and buy anything that has 311 printed on it. You can also just go to the website.

1:32:34 311 We got our home video coming out on December 11th. It's our second home video. It's called The Large Show Detail Part 2. It's on DVD and VHS.

1:32:52 311 My pleasure.

1:32:53 Adam I want to thank Damien for doing a great job on the phones all week long. I want to thank Tara, don't call me Tara, god damn it, for doing a good job on the phones as well. Lauren for doing whatever Lauren does around here. Producer Ann for putting her feminine sthink on the show. And of course, the passive aggressive one, Engineer Anderson for working those magic fingers. So until next time. Hey, you're a prick. This is Adam Crawford. Dr. Drew is saying, Mahalo.

1:33:18 Caller Oh, Adam.

1:33:19 Adam Yeah, right. Yeah.

1:33:20 Caller When are you gonna smoke some blunts?
