Episode 1000754886936

10:20 Voiceover Listener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.

10:32 Voiceover Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Dr. Drew is a board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, and he's in New York tonight, correct?

10:47 Drew Correct.

10:49 Adam How's the mood over there, Drew?

10:51 Drew I was just talking to Matt about it. It's kind of interesting. I went all the way down to Ground Zero, and that was a little freakish.

10:58 Adam How did you get out there?

10:59 Drew I just kept walking until the police said stop, and I got within about two blocks of it. What's interesting, people are affected, okay? But walking through Greenwich Village, it's Sunday night, and people were out and relating, and bonding, and enjoying every moment, it seems to me. There's a certain energy in the city that's very, very positive right now.

11:21 Adam So it's like... Do you think it was like a wake-up call to people where they said, look, we got to enjoy every day, or tell our loved ones we love them, or be good to our fellow human beings?

11:33 Drew Yeah, all this divisiveness needs to be put aside. There's an element to that. I mean, people, believe me, are rattled. But there's a quality to it that I'm very surprised about.

11:41 Adam All right.

11:41 Drew It's really nice.

11:42 Adam Our guests tonight are POD. They got themselves a CD out, which came out, ironically enough, on September 11th. Trey, Sonny and Marcus are all here from the band. And we're going to... And this is a pretty diverse band. I mean, you got a lot of different ethnicities going on within the band itself, right? What do you got? Lean up on that mic, speak right in. What do you got in the band?

12:08 We got the brothers.

12:09 Adam We got the brothers.

12:10 Representing the brothers. Representing the brothers. Myself, I'm all mixed up. I'm Italian, Guamanian, Hawaiian, Spanish.

12:17 Right.

12:18 P.O.D. I'm Chicano. You know what that means. That's Mexican-American. I'm American, but I have Mexican roots and Spanish roots. And I'm just a Latin mutt. I guess you could say that.

12:29 I guess I'm Filipino. What was Filipino?

12:30 P.O.D. Si quieres que hablo en español.

12:32 Adam And this is basically... Are you guys from Southern California or San Diego?

12:38 P.O.D. San Diego.

12:39 Adam Yeah, but it's about the same there as it is here out in LA., which is a real mix to bag. And, you know, for all... I think we get a bad rap as the United States for having a lot of racial difficulty. But I think for the mixture we have, it could be a lot worse. I mean, I don't think it's as bad as it could be.

12:59 Drew I was actually thinking that these terrorists must be disappointed. They kill all kinds of different ethnicities and nationalities when they go after people in the United States.

13:07 Adam Right. That's why I believe LA will never be attacked because they don't look at it as part of the United States. It's a small satellite of many different countries.

13:17 But tonight...

13:18 Drew Exitos en español.

13:19 Adam Thank you. Thank you, Drew. Tonight we were going to make tolerance one of the topics and maybe the topic because it is it is sparked that discussion in this nation, especially as it pertains to Islam and all the all the Middle Eastern and different Arab nations we have represented in this country. And this is when it could get ugly. I mean, we've been through this before with World War II and the Japanese internment camps and all that kind of stuff. And I think it's been, I think there's been a minimum of that since this, but there's been some of it. And I would expect there to be some of it. And I don't want to minimize what there has been, but I think it could have been worse. But we're interested in talking to, you know, what your experiences are and what the listeners and callers' experiences are. And I mean, Drew, what have you seen? You've been traveling around the country.

14:15 Drew Yeah, there seems to me there's more anxiety about it than there is actual problem with it. Although, I was in Michigan yesterday and they had a large international residence hall. They had to shut the whole thing down. They had to lock it down with security. They got so anxious about there being backlash. Now, there wasn't, Eddie, but people are terribly, terribly nervous that there's going to be.

14:35 Adam Right. All right. And New York is probably even more diverse than LA. Wouldn't you say ethnically? Or at least is, I was going to say is bad, but at least is good, right? I mean, it's at least as mixed up as LA is, right?

14:51 Drew Yeah. Yeah.

14:52 Adam And there's not been too many reports. I'm glad to report, although there has been reports of some bigotry going on and people being unfairly prosecuted. And that's the way it works. I mean, you never get the people you want to get. You get the people who look like them who didn't do anything.

15:10 Drew Right. I had a patient, a Japanese woman, who was in the internment camps in the 40s. And she said that she said, you know, I feel so sorry for people. But she said this exactly as she said, I feel so sorry for people with darker skin because suddenly their friends are not going to like them anymore. And she said, you know, the people that did that 1940 are the same people that do it now, which was interesting.

15:33 Adam You mean the same people that hate those people?

15:35 Drew Same kind of same hate, hateful people are hateful people is what she was saying.

15:39 Adam Right. Right. And I do think for every one American that is that way, there's 10 of them who bend over backward trying not to be perceived as that one person. Although sometimes it's that one person that makes the news. I think there's, and I'm glad to say that. And I feel it, I do it myself sometimes. I would hate to be considered a racist. And if a white guy comes up to me and wants some money, I tell him to beat it. And if a guy from any other nationality comes up to me, I'll either give him some money or explain to him why I can't, but it's not because of the color of his skin.

16:18 Drew And then that again then gives you license on radio to call people the blacks, the Mexicans, the cute ones.

16:23 Adam I'm trying to...

16:24 Drew You refer to all those other races, yeah?

16:25 Adam I'm trying to simplify it for the kids, Drew. That's all.

16:28 That's all.

16:28 Adam I'm not sure about the blacks.

16:30 All right.

16:30 Adam POD is here tonight. Please, Anderson, are you trying to get my ass kicked over there? How dare he? We're going to hear something off of Satellite which is the newest CD and we're going to take your calls. Drew, now you got a board over there in New York, Drew?

16:45 Drew We are set.

16:46 Adam All right. April?

16:48 Hi.

16:48 Adam You're 16. What's up?

16:49 Caller Yeah. I just wanted to thank POD because they've totally helped me get through it and with the CD being released three weeks late and it came out on the perfect date and all that.

17:02 Drew Get through what, April?

17:04 Adam You mean the tragedy?

17:05 Caller Yeah. Like, you know, September 11th, like, their studio was supposed to come out three weeks earlier and it didn't, you know.

17:10 Drew What have you been feeling?

17:12 Caller I don't know. It's just like the lyrics and everything, like, has brought a total peace to me, you know what I mean? So it's just really cool and, you know, and also thank you guys for not compromising your beliefs on this album.

17:27 Adam Thanks.

17:27 Caller You know, because you guys have gotten so big and you totally have not compromised and I think that is so right on.

17:33 Thank you so much.

17:34 Caller So and you guys, I'm totally praying for you.

17:37 Adam Oh, thank you.

17:37 Caller Every day. I totally and thank you.

17:39 Adam Do you really? Do you say their name out loud when you pray?

17:43 Caller I say POD.

17:44 Adam Awesome.

17:44 Caller And Adam, I'm a born-again Christian and the bombing the abortion clinics, that is so wrong. Totally against God. Yeah. And I support the morning after.

17:53 Adam Good. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's, I mean, that's what I was saying. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's drawing this analogy, but when we were talking about the radical fundamentalist fringe of any religion, they're things that they do in the name of their God and in the name of their religion, that the 99, and it's more than 99% of the rest of the people that follow their religion, don't agree with and don't condone. And it's, like I said, it's not one out of every hundred guys. You know what I'm saying? It's not one out of every hundred born-again Christians bombs an abortion clinic. It's one out of every million. You know, it's not even close to 1%. And yet, it's so easy to blame that entire religion or that entire ideology. And yet, it's such a small, small portion of those people. Josh? Of those people. Of those people. No, I mean those people meaning whoever those people, whatever the religion is. Please, how dare you, Drew?

19:03 P.O.D. Drew.

19:04 Adam Always trying to start a fire. He ain't even here either. That's right. Josh?

19:08 Yeah.

19:09 Adam You're 15. What's up?

19:10 Caller Yeah, well, Adam, you're great.

19:12 Adam Thank you. Thank you.

19:13 Caller Yeah, and then POD, you guys, helped me. I almost died on Friday.

19:17 P.O.D. What happened?

19:18 Caller Oh, I had surgery and just stopped breathing. What? I had surgery on my elbow and I stopped breathing in the middle of it. So it's all right. I'm all better, though.

19:26 But anyway, it's good to hear you.

19:27 Caller Okay. Well, I mean, just that that song alive, it's you know, I, I feel I can relate to it really well.

19:34 P.O.D. Right on, man.

19:34 Caller Yeah. Yeah. First time caller and there's some Arab people at my school. And recently, my really good friends, I've just been giving them a hard time, you know, just verbally harassing them and, you know, and doing stuff and I just don't know what I should do. You know, I don't want to just stand there and watch that happen. But they're my really good friends.

19:54 Drew Why don't you tell the school?

19:57 Caller Because I've like known these kids since I was like five.

19:59 Drew Yeah, but they're they're committing crimes. Basically, they're doing the wrong thing.

20:02 Adam Well, what are they doing? I mean, because that's the other thing, too. I don't mind a little razz and I don't want it to get dangerous. But in what high school don't you screw with whoever? Do you know what I mean? I mean, maybe this is not the time. But I mean, do they seem dangerous?

20:19 Caller Well, you know, kind of. I mean, because you can kind of hear it in their voice, you know, when they're like, you know, you F'ing A-ass.

20:25 Adam Right, right.

20:26 Well, this is a sensitive time, too. I mean, I don't even know if that's funny to even play around like that, you know, but take it upon yourself, man. If you have to step in and just, I mean, if they're your boys, they're your boys, you know. You have to tell them to cool off, hot sauce, and tell them to cool off.

20:39 P.O.D. You have to put them in check, man.

20:41 Adam Well, I agree, which is one of two things. Either you don't know them that well, so you should just go ahead and rat them out, who cares, or you're real tight with them, in which case you should be able to step in and they should listen to you.

20:54 Drew Yeah.

20:54 Caller So, right, right. You know, it's kind of- I want to be like, you know, like a wuss or anything, having to be like, you know, well, since I've known them for so long, I don't want to-

21:02 Drew I know. I think a wuss is not saying anything.

21:05 Caller Right.

21:05 I think you'd be more of a man if you just step up and tell them to chill out, you know? Yeah.

21:10 Adam All right. Could you do that?

21:12 Caller I mean, yeah, I'm going to have to, because I just don't want, you know, anything mad to happen to-

21:17 P.O.D. Hey, we're glad you're alive too, man.

21:20 Adam What happened to your elbow? You threw it out, beaten off, or what happened?

21:23 Caller Well, you know, they say it was tennis elbow, but you know, I think it was more of a meditation elbow.

21:29 Adam Who told you you stopped breathing?

21:30 Caller The doctors. They had to-

21:32 Adam But Drew does that all the time. He's just screwing around.

21:36 Caller Yeah, but this was pretty serious. I guess they had to give me a paralyzer pill.

21:39 Adam But that's what I'm saying. Drew does that and then charges them more. He goes, hey man, while we're scraping that bunion, you stop breathing. So we had to give you the paddles and we had to give you the adrenaline shot in the heart and the nitroglycerin pills. And that's an extra 2600 bucks. But thank God you're around. And no one questions it, right, Drew? It's not like they videotaped it. Drew, do you ever do that?

22:08 Drew No.

22:08 Adam No, you don't do that?

22:09 Drew No.

22:10 Adam But you understand you could pad it just a little bit. You know what I mean?

22:15 Drew I understand.

22:16 Adam Like what they do. Like, you know, when you bring your car to a place and the mechanic tells you he turned the rotors, but he didn't really do it, he just replaced the pads.

22:24 Drew It's a little different.

22:25 Adam I don't know. I don't know. All right, Drew, you got a call or what?

22:30 Drew Yeah.

22:31 Adam What's the matter, Drew?

22:32 Drew You pissed me off.

22:33 Adam Oh, really? Oh, please. I've done so much worse to you.

22:38 Drew That's true.

22:38 P.O.D. You know what? Nothing. Hey, Drew, P.O.D.'s a big fan of you, man.

22:41 Drew Oh, thanks, POD.

22:42 Adam POD was P.O.ed that you weren't in the studio.

22:46 P.O.D. Yeah.

22:47 Adam They said, they said, we always thought Drew was in the studio with you. And I said, he normally is. Lizette?

22:53 Yes.

22:54 Adam Drew's not mad. He was just distracted. Go ahead. You're 21.

22:58 Caller Yeah, I am 21. And I had a question for POD. Here they are. Hey, guys.

23:04 Hello.

23:04 Caller How's my warrior men doing?

23:07 Oh, very good.

23:09 Caller Well, see, I have a question for you guys. I'm a Christian myself, and it's really hard to go out and represent the whole Christian world because it's, you know, they have a whole vision of what we are, what we're supposed to be. And they're always looking at us and what we do. So, you know, the questions they always ask is like, well, how do you find God? And since you guys are in the air, like thousands of people are listening.

23:36 Adam But who, the Jews, who's they?

23:39 Caller Oh, like the neighbor, the guy cutting his lawn, the guy next to me trying to raise in the line.

23:46 P.O.D. I don't understand the question.

23:48 Adam What, she's, she's from Moreno Valley.

23:52 Caller Yeah, the little town out in the outskirts of, what would it be, Riverside?

23:57 Adam And, and, and so basically you're saying, what are you saying? I wasn't listening, I'm sorry.

24:03 Caller God, see, you're just like the typical man.

24:05 Drew No, that what, what do you want?

24:08 Adam I don't mind being a typical man. I mean, if you really break it down, it's not such a bad thing to be as a guy.

24:14 Caller It's a great thing to be. You guys get to decide everything. We're going to end up doing.

24:18 Adam No, please. You guys barely work and you live eight years long. Please.

24:26 Caller No, so my question was find God. And I'm not saying like, you go in a closet and you hide, but it's more like, how do you really get to that point of, you know what, I found God?

24:36 P.O.D. You know what?

24:37 Caller How would you describe that or answer that question to a person?

24:40 P.O.D. I'll say, you know what, it's definitely personal. A lot of people, they tend to find God in different ways in their lives. And individually, I didn't like find God because I met Sonny and said, hey, man, you made me find God, bro. It's like personal, like my daily life, my daily struggle. You know, like in this country right now, when you look at, you know, I've never seen people mention God so much ever in this country. And it's kind of tripping me out because I'm just like, wow, man, I mean, this is a country that has God on its dollar bill. And I've never really heard people talk about God this much. And it's definitely personal. And it's just sad that it took a tragedy like this for people to acknowledge that there is a God that this country was founded on.

25:23 Adam Very well said, Drew.

25:26 Drew I was just thinking, I did an interview with an Australian television company or something one time. And I forget what the topic was even. And she was interviewing different countries. And I said, well, anything different in the United States compared to the others? And she said, oh, yeah, I can't do an interview for more than two minutes without somebody bringing up God. Without a religion coming up immediately. That's completely different as relative to other countries.

25:49 I think people are just looking for answers. It's this whole tragedy. Some people want to know something. So I think now it's just kind of like, hey, well, if there's a God, what's going on? I think it's just natural for people to say, hey, God, what is going on? If you're out there, if you're real, how did this happen? And so I think it's just...

26:08 P.O.D. How did this happen to America?

26:09 All right, it's just questions that people are searching.

26:13 P.O.D. Drew? Yep?

26:15 Adam You got another call there, Sean? You're 23?

26:19 Caller Hello?

26:19 Adam What's up?

26:20 Yeah.

26:21 P.O.D. Yeah.

26:22 Adam Yes, you got a question? You're on with POD.

26:25 Hey, what's going on?

26:26 Caller What's up, man?

26:28 Adam Uh-oh, he's got his radio on.

26:29 Drew Put him on hold. Put him on hold. All right.

26:31 Adam All right. You know, his question is, he wants to know if this could escalate into a global war. And I don't, I mean, here's the thing. I keep, there's a couple of things I keep hearing about this war. One is they say, this is going to be unlike the other wars. But it strikes me that most wars we've had, they announced this is going to be unlike the other wars. I mean, if you think about it, Vietnam was a very different kind of war than World War II. World War II was different in the sense of there was, you know, the airplane didn't factor in in World War I, and the airplane practically won the war in World War II. But I think every time there's a war, somebody somewhere announces this is a new war. Do you know what I mean?

27:21 Drew There's an armed conflict between nations. There's no nation fighting here.

27:24 Adam Yeah, well, I do agree that it's different, but I think to think that it wouldn't be different would be naive. Do you know what I'm saying? That it's always going to be different, and it's almost kind of the nature of it.

27:38 Drew Right, it just makes them different.

27:39 Adam Right.

27:39 P.O.D. I think it's more of a test, man. Sometimes, you know, a lot of people want to see what they can get away with with America, and I think we really have to defend ourselves.

27:49 Adam Oh, absolutely. But, you know, when people people talk about, oh, hold on a second, Drew, I'm yapping.

27:55 Drew No kidding.

27:56 Adam People, how dare you? You fly off to New York because someone dropped a roll of nickels. You leave me to get my ass kicked here with POD., and then you critique my very insightful views on war. How dare you? All right, here's what I wanted to say. You know, people are looking for a time limit on this war, too. Is it going to be three years? Is it going to be five years? Is it going to be ten years? To me, it's just going to be an on-going sort of way of life, and that doesn't mean a horrible way of life. It just means we cannot have one eye closed anymore. Like we did before. We have to live a certain way of life, and it's a way of life that makes us aware of what's around us, and maybe that means we're more aware to appreciate certain things that we should be appreciating, which I'm seeing now. I'm seeing people at the football games, and they're singing God Bless America, and they're doing the Star-Spangled Banner, and people are appreciating it. They're listening to the words, and they're singing along, and so for as much bad awareness, like we take an extra hour at the airport, there might be good awareness, like you telling your wife you love her when you were taking her for granted before. Not me, but you telling your wife. Dustin, I have a girlfriend. Thank you. That was very poignant. Dustin, you're 18. What's up?

29:20 Caller What's up? First, I just want to say what's up to POD. Like, Sonny and Wolf, I met you guys like two years ago at Spirit West Coast.

29:26 Caller Uh-huh, right on.

29:27 And like, recommitted my life.

29:29 Caller Just want to say thanks for that. My question is, I got a girlfriend, she's like half-black, and like, all my boys are pretty down on it, you know?

29:40 Drew Why? Yeah, why?

29:41 Caller Where are you from?

29:42 Caller Salt Lake. Oh. Yeah, and like, all my boys.

29:46 Drew Come on, you guys.

29:47 Adam Well, Salt Lake, come on.

29:49 Caller Come on.

29:49 Adam What do you expect? How old is she?

29:52 Caller Uh, she's 17. Okay.

29:55 Drew Speaking of religion, I don't know where that religion excludes certain races.

29:57 Adam Well, they're a little uptight over there. You can have ten wives, just as long as one of them's not mulatto.

30:03 Caller We didn't say nothing.

30:04 P.O.D. Yeah, I didn't say anything.

30:05 Caller That's Adam, we'll be...

30:06 How do you feel about her?

30:08 Caller I think she's cool. Like, I haven't been with her that long, and like, it's nothing real serious, but I just don't think it's cool. You know, my friends are down on that.

30:14 P.O.D. You know, you just got to put your friends in check, man, if that's, you know, straight up. Like, if one of my friends was saying something that I just felt uncomfortable about, you got to address that. You know what I mean? And if they blow you off, you really got to tell them you're serious, you know? And if...

30:28 Caller Yeah.

30:28 P.O.D. It's all about communication, you know?

30:31 Caller Yeah.

30:31 Adam And also, it's how you define your friends at a certain point. I mean, if you've got friends that are, you know, skinheads, then they shouldn't be your friends. It's okay not to like people who are bad, even if they're good to you.

30:47 Caller Yeah.

30:47 P.O.D. Plus, you got to do what you want to do, not what your friends tell you to do. Hey, if you're down with the Browns, it's all good.

30:53 Adam I'm not sure about the Blacks. Oh, please, Anderson, Anderson, Jesus Christ.

30:58 P.O.D. See, man, you out of town right now.

31:00 Adam Yeah, and by the way, that's totally out of context because we were talking about checkers. And I said, I always played red. And you had to have been there, but it had nothing to do with ethnicity.

31:14 Drew I thought it was roulette we were talking about.

31:16 Adam Right, I mean roulette, roulette. We're talking about roulette. That's right, I was going to Vegas. Hey, Dustin?

31:21 Yes.

31:21 Adam Listen, if you're into her, you stay with her.

31:24 Caller If she's a beautiful person, man, then go for it.

31:27 Yeah, she's cool.

31:28 Caller Exactly, exactly.

31:29 All right.

31:30 Adam Cool.

31:30 Hey, can I say one more thing?

31:31 Yeah.

31:32 Caller Hey, you guys are coming to Salt Lake, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

31:34 Caller Yeah, we're going to be there for the first time, man.

31:37 P.O.D. I've never played Salt Lake. Not ten years of being a band.

31:40 Adam Drew, give your explanation about the mutts again, would you please?

31:45 Drew About genetic diversity?

31:46 Adam Yeah. I like this one and it works, I think.

31:51 Drew That health of populations of any biological systems are improved by genetic diversity, meaning the more you mix the genes, the more the population evolves.

32:02 Adam Right.

32:03 Drew So, if you isolate a genetic pool, that's how you get inbreeding of diseases and things like that. That's why when you inbreed dogs, they tend to get medical problems and hip problems and they're not so healthy.

32:13 Purebred dogs have bad hips and their livers explode when they're like five years old.

32:18 Adam But when you get those mutts, they live forever. They're ugly, but they live forever.

32:24 Drew Occasionally beautiful.

32:25 Adam Occasionally super hot. Yeah, but usually really bad. And then they eat stuff like rope and stuff. Are we talking about dogs?

32:35 Drew Yeah, you are.

32:35 Adam Oh, okay.

32:36 Drew I hope.

32:37 Adam POD is here. We're going to take ourselves a little break. We're discussing tolerance and mainly that. But we'll talk about anything you want to talk about. If you got questions for POD, that's great too. We'll hear something off the new CD satellite when we come back. Hey, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That's Dr. Drew. He's over there in New York. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. PODs are guests tonight. Trey, Sonny and Marcus are all here. Is it Marcos?

33:19 P.O.D. Marcos.

33:20 Adam Sorry, it's Marcos. Smoothus.

33:22 P.O.D. It's Marcos, man.

33:24 Adam Sorry about that. You doing all right over there?

33:28 Drew Doing great.

33:29 P.O.D. Drew's just kicking it.

33:30 Adam I'm going to be in New York tomorrow, actually. Where are you going to be? Back here?

33:34 Drew Somewhere where you're not.

33:35 Caller Oh, Drew.

33:37 Adam Drew, pouting. Please, after our bonding on the road, we were in Ohio State yesterday, right?

33:44 Drew Was that yesterday?

33:45 Adam I don't know, was it? No, I swear it was yesterday. I flew home yesterday.

33:51 Drew Right.

33:51 Adam Good times.

33:52 Drew We did it the day before.

33:53 Adam All right.

33:53 Drew That was fun.

33:54 Caller I think we're going to be there on Halloween.

33:56 Adam Lean up on that mic, Trey. When are you going to be in Ohio State?

34:00 Caller Halloween, I think, 30th October.

34:02 Drew Hey, Trey, you got to go, you got to put your hands over your head and go O-H.

34:05 O-H.

34:05 Drew Just remember that. Just yell that.

34:08 Adam When you get there, because they'll go nuts.

34:10 P.O.D. Trey's from Cleveland.

34:11 Drew Just yell O-H.

34:13 Adam And they'll do the I-O. I-O. Chugatamon. Brian?

34:19 Brian?

34:20 Adam Yes?

34:21 Hey.

34:21 Adam That's you. You're 24. What's up?

34:23 Caller Hey, guys. This is Brian. You also know me as DC Warrior.

34:28 Caller Oh, what up, big man?

34:30 Caller What up, dog?

34:31 Caller How you doing?

34:33 Caller I'm all right. Hey, Adam, first of all, I think you're hilarious.

34:36 Adam Oh, thanks.

34:37 Caller 99% of the things I disagree with you on, but I think you're hilarious, so.

34:41 Caller All right.

34:42 Adam Well, we agree on that.

34:45 Caller Right on.

34:45 Caller Hey, guys, I guess this has to do with tolerance. There's a question about a song on the CD here. Anything Right? A lot of people are wondering exactly who you're singing to and what it's about. So, I think we have an idea, but I just want to get y'all's thoughts on it.

35:00 Caller I don't think it pinpoints anyone in particular, you know. I think just as us and being us of faith in the industry that we're in, it's like no matter what you do, there's always someone that has an opinion, there's always someone that has something to say that...

35:15 P.O.D. The critics on both sides.

35:16 Caller You know, on both sides, whether we believe the same, whether we don't, there's always someone that's got to talk louder than you, you know. So, for us, like, we're just being us, you know. This POD we do...

35:27 P.O.D. Like for Drew, it's Adam.

35:29 Adam Right. Shut up, Drew, I can hear you thinking.

35:34 Caller So, it's not anyone in particular, you know.

35:37 Caller It's a pillar at the rock.

35:38 Caller No matter what you go through, there's always going to be someone that disagrees or is trying to tear you down. So, you just got to keep your head up.

35:43 Caller All right, well, then another quick question for those people that...

35:45 Drew It's good to be thankful you don't have to work with them every night.

35:47 Adam That's right.

35:48 Caller I think you guys are closer than you need to be.

35:50 Drew Oh, yeah.

35:50 Adam There's a lot of them.

35:51 Caller Oh, yeah.

35:51 Adam There's a lot of them.

35:52 Caller There's a lot of them. That's true.

35:53 Adam Lots of love.

35:54 Go ahead, Brian.

35:56 Adam What's that?

35:57 Caller Quick question for the guys. What about the people that are always asking, do you cuss on your CD? Are you rock the bar in it? Do you smoke pot? Clear that up for the people.

36:07 Caller Of course not, man.

36:10 Caller I know the answer. I just want everyone else to hear it.

36:12 Caller It gets so petty where people try to look into so much stuff. Marco's writes something on his thanks. It could even be a typo. It's like, oh my gosh, I think he said this or he said that. Honestly, it's like, who has that much time to look so closely in those things?

36:27 Caller I think some people sit down some time and actually are looking for stuff.

36:30 Caller That's just it. You can't do anything right. There's people that they're just waiting to point their fingers at you, man.

36:35 P.O.D. One other thing too, man, no matter what you believe in. I mean, no one's ever perfect. People seem to think like POD is like perfect.

36:43 Caller We're not.

36:45 P.O.D. I'm like sitting there going, you know what, man? I'm just as human as anyone else.

36:49 Caller It almost makes it real hard because it's like you're always trying to watch your back. The moment you stub your toe and say a curse word, instantly you're the bad guy. It's so hard to live up to.

37:01 P.O.D. We're just trying to be gentlemen, dude. Straight up, man. You know what I mean?

37:05 Adam Aaron?

37:06 Oh, hey.

37:06 Adam What's up? You're 15.

37:08 Caller Yeah, I never realized how much of a time delay there is on this thing.

37:11 Adam Go right ahead. Yeah.

37:14 Caller I heard a lot of people commenting about nuclear attacks on Afghanistan. I just want to say, clear it up. That won't work. You know, I'm tired of hearing it.

37:26 Adam Wait a minute. Who's commenting on that?

37:29 Caller I'm from Monterey, California. Our radio stations are huge talk things and people are calling up.

37:38 Adam I don't believe that there's anybody in any kind of position of power or import that says, we should bring out nuclear weapons against Afghanistan, do you?

37:49 Drew Yeah, no.

37:50 Adam These are yokels who are calling the show trunks saying, nuke them towel heads. But nuke means microwave too. I don't think they're serious about it. You know what I'm saying?

38:03 Caller Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. It's just completely not possible because there's like eight other countries that completely hate our country. They'll return 20 of them, especially Russia because we stopped them from invading Afghanistan in the Cold War.

38:18 Adam Yeah, but I don't think Russia would return a nuclear strike on us if we did something to Afghanistan, do you?

38:27 Caller Oh, yeah, if we nuke them, they would.

38:29 Adam I don't believe they would. First off, they'd like to see them nuke more than we would. I mean, we were the ones who were, we were helping Afghanistan. Didn't you see Rambo 3?

38:43 Caller Yeah.

38:43 Adam I mean, everyone go out and rent, is it Rambo 3? Go out and rent Rambo 3. It's all spelled out very clearly, very clearly.

38:51 Caller I think that movie is 16 years old. He's 15, you didn't see this movie.

38:54 Adam Go rent Third Blood or whatever it is. Well, it makes sense that they would call it Third Blood.

39:01 P.O.D. What do you think we should do as a country then?

39:04 Caller Us as a country, we should, for right now, I have a big theory on this, but for right, for a while, we should get our priorities straight and what we should do with the other countries. There's a couple of countries that are pretty much in ruins that we have to deal with still. And we need to straighten out some of our problems before we go into...

39:32 P.O.D. All right, Aaron, I just gotta say this one thing.

39:34 Adam Aaron, you have no plan, right? Yeah.

39:37 P.O.D. What if that was one of your family members on one of them planes? That's all I gotta say, man. What are you gonna say?

39:41 Caller Yeah, I can extend the emotional issues.

39:44 Adam All right, listen. What are the next plans? Here's the deal. Listen, I'm getting on a plane tomorrow, Drew, please. Here's what I think we...

39:52 P.O.D. I don't mean to interrupt you, but we have signals down. We sit in different seats.

39:56 Adam Right.

39:56 P.O.D. And we're always like, the guy looks suspicious, and you're two. You know what I'm saying?

40:01 Adam Yeah.

40:02 Caller And that's bad.

40:02 P.O.D. And that's bad.

40:03 Adam You do that thing with the Navy SEALs, too, where you pop your head out of the water, you do that, you're two. Yeah, here's what I think we ought to do. I don't think we should use nuclear arms on other countries, but I think we should bomb one of our own states, like a smaller one, like Arkansas, or something that's unimportant, maybe Rhode Island, and say, do you see how badass we are? We just did it to ourselves. Do you see how nuts? You're messing with mad men over here. Do you understand? If we're willing to nuke ourselves, imagine what we do to you. I think that's good. It's like when a real badass guy punches himself in the head a couple of times, and you look at him and you go, no, I'm not messing with him. He's crazy.

40:48 Drew He breaks a bottle over his head or something.

40:49 Adam He breaks a bottle over his own head and smacks himself in the head a few times. I think we need that, and I haven't decided on the state, but listen, we got enough of them. We could waste one. Well, just one. Let's give everyone a 48-hour heads up, let them move out. I haven't thought these out yet, but not a bad plan. All right, you guys aren't with me on this.

41:14 Drew Hey, Adam.

41:15 Adam Yeah?

41:16 Drew How about a song?

41:16 Adam All right. What song? You want to hear the Dreidel song? Or you want to hear the theme from Taboo 2? Oh, you're talking about from the band? Oh, you want to hear one from POD.? Okay. All right, we'll do that. All right, no, I'm not going to start singing that, please. This is Off of Satellite, which is the new CD from POD. You queued up there, Anderson? Yep. This one's called Alive. That is POD. Satellites, the name of the new CD that's alive, of course. We're going to take ourselves a quick break. Drew's over there in New York, and we'll be back with more of your questions, calls, and comments in POD after this. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That is Dr. Drew over there in New York. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Drew, I think nuking one of our own states is almost as good an idea as moving Israel to Baja, which was one of my other brilliant plans to cure, my world peace plans. Lot of real estate in that area. Mexico could use a few Jews over there to sort out some of the numbers. Crunch a few numbers, that's all I'm saying. A beautiful ocean there.

45:55 P.O.D. As long as they don't change the food.

45:57 Adam No, no, they, well, they'd change breakfast. They'd change the breakfast because the Jews will do that.

46:04 P.O.D. You guys are down with the carne asada burrito, right?

46:06 Adam Listen, I'm down with all Mexican food, but I do got to say this, there's not a lot of variation in the Mexican food. It's the beans, the rice, the beef, the cheese, and the tortillas, and that could cover any meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Do you guys have brunch? Does Mexico have brunch? No. No, but if Mexico had brunch, it would be beef, cheese, tortillas, rice, and beans.

46:31 Caller And tripas.

46:32 Caller Pan.

46:32 Adam What's a tripas?

46:35 Caller Pig intestines.

46:36 Adam Oh, yeah. Oh, like tripe.

46:37 Caller Yeah.

46:38 Adam Tripe, yes. Ooh, yeah. Yeah. They're into that menudo and all those parts we throw away. They make a soup out of it. No, it cures everything.

46:50 P.O.D. Hey, that's the first boy band, man.

46:51 Caller What's up?

46:53 Adam Love is in here, by the way. Filling in for Trey.

46:57 Caller We're tagging him. We're just giving each other high fives.

46:59 Adam Little flip-flop. All right, POD., our guest satellite, name of the CD. Let's take ourselves a call that has a question about the last song alive. Jacob?

47:09 Caller Oh, yeah.

47:09 Caller Hey, Adam, you rock, Drew, you rock. Adam, just love you guys.

47:13 Adam Thank you.

47:14 Caller Okay, I have two questions. My first is for POD. What was your inspiration for writing that song alive?

47:22 Caller Good times.

47:23 P.O.D. Yeah, just being happy to be alive, man. I mean, when we were talking about it, when we were writing the song, we were like, hey, man, let's try to write something that's going to be positive to everybody. You know what? If you like hard rock or not, you know, if you pop the CD and hopefully you feel alive, you know, we're not a real depressed band at all.

47:42 Caller We've never been a depressed band.

47:43 Adam That's kind of nice and kind of refreshing.

47:45 Caller So, I mean, whenever we write songs, most of the time they're uplifting and they're a feel good type of song.

47:51 Adam You know what?

47:51 Drew A band union that requires depression.

47:53 Adam Well, you see, that's the thing, though, and that's what I do like that about you guys. And I think there's a lot of bands that aren't depressed, but they feel like they have to act depressed because their audience is depressed and they don't want their audience to think they're having a good time without them. But, meanwhile, these guys, they're driving around Vipers and living up in Malibu. What is there to really be depressed about?

48:17 Caller Nothing.

48:18 Caller You can get over it real quick. You get that kind of money. You know what I'm saying?

48:20 Adam Yeah.

48:21 Caller Depression.

48:22 Caller They say it sells records these days, I guess.

48:24 Adam Yeah, but you guys are selling plenty of records.

48:27 You're not depressed.

48:28 Caller Before we wrote the lyrics, that song, even the music alone just made you feel good playing in the studio. And so it kind of led the direction of the lyrics. It was like, man, we want to be positive always, and we want to be uplifting and encouraging, so it just kind of fell into place.

48:43 P.O.D. Hey, that was the whole thing about this record. We were totally just saying, you know what, we just want to be universal and positive.

48:50 Adam Hey, Jacob.

48:50 Caller Yeah.

48:51 Adam Does that answer your question?

48:53 Caller More than I wanted.

48:54 Caller He had two questions.

48:55 Caller Jacob.

48:56 Adam Did you have another one?

48:57 Caller Question two.

48:57 Caller Yeah.

48:58 Caller Okay.

48:59 Caller Lately, my dad, my sister say that I've been crying in my sleep. I wonder what your opinion of that would be, like what could be the cause?

49:07 P.O.D. Crying in your sleep.

49:08 Caller Sure.

49:08 Adam You just say I'm in wetting the bed and maybe they're being polite.

49:12 P.O.D. Well, I've been woken up because I laugh in my sleep. You know what I mean? My wife's like tripping. She's like, oh my gosh, the exorcist. I'm like, dang.

49:19 Drew Is anything bugging you, Jacob?

49:22 Caller Well, about six months ago, my mother died.

49:25 P.O.D. There you go.

49:27 Caller But I don't know. That hit me really hard, but I came to grips with that.

49:32 Drew Yeah, but that takes a long time to really get over, and so that's probably what it is, Jacob.

49:37 Adam Yeah, and sometimes what goes on in the sleep is obviously the subconscious, and you're letting yourself go at that point. So feelings that you may be holding back or repressing a little during the day may come out when you're in that state.

49:53 Caller That's happened to me a couple of times. I woke up crying because I've had dreams of my aunt or my grandfather, you know, passed on, and I would see them in my dream, and I would be so happy to see them, and I'd be crying, and I'd wake up, and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is so real.

50:07 Adam So I didn't cry, but I fell asleep on an airplane to Minnesota last week, and I woke up, and I had a boner, and it was humiliating. I was sitting totally true. I had the seat reclined. I was on my back. I had fallen asleep.

50:25 Caller You woke up because you were uncomfortable.

50:26 Adam I had like a three-

50:27 P.O.D. Did you have a blanket over that thing?

50:28 Adam No, no.

50:29 Drew The lady next to you was crying.

50:32 Caller They were laughing.

50:33 Caller I swear to God.

50:35 Adam I was wearing like those-

50:37 Caller Coffee, sir?

50:38 Adam I was wearing like those old Navy cargo pants that have almost no penis hold at all, those things. I'd lean back and I'd fallen asleep and when I woke up, the boner was hanging right out. Yes, very humiliating.

50:53 P.O.D. That used to happen to me in gym class.

50:55 Adam Yeah.

50:56 P.O.D. I'd be wearing sweats. I'd be like, dang, how am I going to get out of this?

50:59 Adam You'd fall asleep on your back. You'll get one. What?

51:03 Drew Could they really tell?

51:04 Adam Oh, how dare you? How dare you? They thought it was a weapon. Then was turned the plane around. Please.

51:13 Caller I think that's a little... Those dreams are different than my man's. I think what you said exactly, I think during the day, just trying to grip and keep it together. In the night time, it just kind of comes out.

51:26 Drew It feels like he's got to cope.

51:27 Caller It really is no trouble. I understand that one, man. I lost my mom years ago and I don't think... You said it's only been six months, man. Don't give yourself a time limit. You know what I mean? You're always going to go to those feelings and those emotions, so don't feel bad, man.

51:42 Adam Amber?

51:43 Yeah.

51:44 Adam You're 15? What's up?

51:47 Caller I just think that it's really sad, all the intolerance that's going on. I've seen it happen at my school, a lot of it. My school is mainly like stoners and stuff, so they're like really numb, and they just really don't care, but to the air of Americans at my school, and not even just them, everyone that looks like it, they're just like, they're outsiders now.

52:15 Adam Where do you go to school?

52:18 Caller Kanoga Park High.

52:19 Oh yeah.

52:19 Adam So you got a lot of stoners, right?

52:22 Caller Yeah.

52:22 Yeah.

52:24 Adam That's a horrible school. You gotta get out of there. That Kanoga, you guys got a big pine trees out front of that school? No. All right. I'm thinking of something else.

52:35 Caller That's probably El Camino.

52:36 Adam Oh yeah, that is El Camino. But it's not too far, right?

52:39 Caller No.

52:39 Caller That's like our rival school.

52:41 Adam Oh, sorry. Sorry about it. All right. So anyway, how large is the Arab population at your school? Do you have any idea?

52:49 Caller It's not very big, but we're a pretty mixed school. Right. And you don't really see racial intolerance. But this year, since this has happened, they're just on the outside now.

53:03 Adam Have you seen-

53:04 Drew Have they put themselves on the outside? Or have you seen somebody do something to them to make them-

53:08 Caller No, I didn't. I haven't seen them put themselves on the outside. I've heard people start talking about them when they walk by and stuff like, oh, they smell, oh, they're going to bomb the school and stuff.

53:16 Drew Have you- Really, Amber?

53:19 Caller Yeah.

53:20 Drew Those are the words they've said.

53:21 Adam Well, are they saying it to these people or are they saying it behind their back?

53:26 Caller Like behind their back.

53:27 Adam Have they had any assemblies or any meetings or anything like that to deal with this?

53:32 Caller No. I don't think anybody's really taking it seriously.

53:36 Adam So, the school administration has not- you've not had any kind of assembly since the tragedy that's discussed these topics?

53:44 Caller No. The day that it happened, teachers- every teacher in the school put on the radio or a TV and they were saying, you know what, whatever you do, don't take this out on your fellow students. And if we see you do that, we're going to do something.

53:59 Adam Well, that's something, right?

54:00 Drew Yeah. They obviously have concern about it. Why don't you tell them that's happening a little bit?

54:04 Caller Yeah. I've told some people so.

54:07 Adam All right. You're doing okay?

54:09 Caller Yeah.

54:10 Adam What color are you?

54:12 Caller I look white, but I'm not.

54:13 Adam Well, as long as you look white.

54:16 Caller I may be white on the outside, but I'm brown on the inside. To the bone, you see.

54:24 Adam Amber, you're all right.

54:25 Caller Huh?

54:26 Adam All right. Enjoy that Kanoka Park high there. It's a great school. It's an institution is what it is.

54:32 Caller It's a learning institution.

54:33 P.O.D. Who put a color on what American is? You know what I mean?

54:36 Adam Oh, I don't even know anymore. I mean, like I said, I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, so I've seen everything my whole life. And I don't know. Maybe, I mean, do you think more of this is coming from parts of the country that are a little more isolated? Do you know what I'm saying?

54:55 Caller I think this comes down to every individual. You have to ask yourself what kind of person you are. You know what I mean? It's cool that people will address the whole thing. But I think once it comes down to it's who you are and what kind of person you are, you know what I mean? How you're going to react to people. I think, I think obviously everybody's going to be nervous and scared. You know, like I heard these stories of these planes that had like full flights in those like three Middle Easterners there and they all said they were going to leave the plane if they didn't get off and they actually had to get off the plane.

55:21 Adam Did they?

55:21 Caller Yeah, they had, they had been like five different times on the different flights.

55:24 Adam I've been hearing that too.

55:26 Caller That's hardcore, man. I mean, that's wrong. But it just, what are you going to do in that situation?

55:30 Caller People are scared, you know?

55:31 P.O.D. People don't know how to deal with it.

55:32 Caller Naturally, people are going to be scared. That's just natural.

55:35 Adam Right.

55:35 Caller But I mean, it just comes down to individually, what type of person you are and how you're going to stand up for it.

55:40 Caller But then calling people names and then acts of violence, and that's just coward, you know? That's ridiculous.

55:45 Adam Right. And I get the feeling that these people who are perpetrating this kind of racial violence would, if it weren't for this, they would do something else that was equally as ugly. Someplace, some time. Yeah, absolutely. Alright, we gotta take ourselves a break. POD is our guest tonight. Drew's over there in New York and we'll be back with more of your questions and thoughts after this. Hey everybody. Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew over there in New York tonight. You're at Westwood One, Drew? Yup. Good times. Getting a little late over there for you. Yeah. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Love, Sonny and Marcos are all here from POD. Satellite's the name of the CD. It is in stores, hopefully, if it's not sold out. It is in stores as we speak. The guys are going to be playing tomorrow live on Kevin and Bean on K-Rock, the mother station out here. So anyone out in the Los Angeles area is going to want to check that out. Gumby is on line 6. Say Gumby. All right.

57:02 Caller Gumby.

57:03 Adam Gumby's clay phone is not working very well. Let's talk to Kim, who is 28. Kim?

57:10 Caller Hey, what's up?

57:11 Adam What's up?

57:12 Caller Hi. Yeah. Okay. I guess, okay, I'm Christian, but I'm not very proud of it because I don't know. I'm really embarrassed to be calling right now, but wait, okay, don't make fun of me. Anyhow, I'm just ready to convert to John Lennon at this point. I am Christian, pro-life, everything, but I'm at the point where I have an appointment with the nun next week because I'm just questioning religion right now. I mean, I just think it's pretty sick that it's all come down to killing people to make change.

57:51 Adam Well, what are you talking about as far as Christianity goes?

57:55 Caller There's been racism going on forever and nobody's recognized it. I mean, I've grown up in this honky-tonk small town of Snoqualmie Valley, Fall City.

58:07 Adam That's in Washington?

58:08 Caller Yes, Washington State.

58:09 Adam And?

58:10 Caller Yes, and I don't know. I mean, it's just like, okay, I work at this shelter this weekend and teens, okay, and I'm not even really stable right now with this whole situation that's going on and I'm stuck with these teens trying to like be professional and strong. Okay, but I'm a nervous wreck and...

58:31 Adam Well, why are you a nervous wreck?

58:32 Caller Why am I a nervous wreck? What do you think?

58:35 Adam Well, no, I...

58:36 Caller Take a look around.

58:37 Adam I know, because of the events.

58:39 Caller Yeah, exactly. There you go. Okay, anyway...

58:42 Adam Well, listen, don't be a smart ass and a nervous wreck.

58:44 Caller Yeah, you're never a smart ass, are you?

58:46 Adam Be one of the... Well, look, honey, why are you so angry?

58:49 Caller Why am I so anxious? Because this is bull...

58:51 Adam Oh, well, she's got quite a tongue on her for a Christian. All right, we'll put her on hold for a second because she used the S word, which I'm not sure if that's in the Bible. I haven't looked at it in a while. Well, New Testament, sure, but the Old Testament, I don't think I had that. Kim is like kind of agitated and angry, and I realize it's not a great time for any American or anybody who calls themselves a friend of this country, but I've been pretty satisfied overall with the way this country is rallied and sort of picked itself up by its bootstraps and all. I mean, to me, there's been a lot of things that have been pretty promising that have come from this tragedy.

59:37 Drew I don't understand why it's okay for her to be hateful towards you, but other people are not.

59:42 Adam I don't know.

59:43 Caller She was just kind of scattered because of the events, but it sounds like she's talking about the letdown of most people, most people that call themselves Christians. She's confused maybe by their actions or maybe what they say and what they've done. It sounds like she's let down one by people rather than God.

59:58 Adam Is it maybe by, was it Duff Farwell who had the comments on the 700 Club?

1:00:05 Caller Let's hear her.

1:00:06 Adam Kim, are you there?

1:00:07 Caller Yeah, I'm here.

1:00:08 Caller All right.

1:00:08 Caller I'm sorry. No, I think you guys are doing a great thing. I mean, just because I don't agree with everything you say doesn't-

1:00:17 Caller Are you entitled to that?

1:00:18 Caller Everything is so- You know, you try to do your best and everybody's always judging you, you know, for everything and it gets old. I mean, I guess, like I told you, Spiener, I work at a shelter and this weekend I wanted to take them. I was scared to go to Seattle, you know, just because I've heard rumors flying. Anyway, so I took them out to, you know, the country and this black girl, you know, she was like scared to come out here because we're all crackers and we're all honky tonkers, you know. There's, you know, there still are rednecks out there that exist. I know I grew up out here and so, I mean, and it's just sad that she has to be scared to come out here to a farm, you know. She enjoyed herself. She fed the animals. She picked some flowers and she actually had fun and I just think everybody's in denial and...

1:01:12 Adam Well, wait a minute, Kim, she did come out to the farm and she had a good time and so you've converted her in a sense.

1:01:20 Caller Yeah.

1:01:20 Adam Well, wouldn't you say that you've changed her a bit in some of the thoughts that you had?

1:01:25 Caller No, I think it's just sad.

1:01:26 Caller I mean, it's still out there. I mean, and I am pro-life, but that doesn't mean I hate people who have abortions and it doesn't mean I want people to die, you know, it's just, I mean, I'm...

1:01:38 P.O.D. You're categorizing it, I mean, I don't know.

1:01:41 Adam Kim, are you sure working with kids is the greatest field for you?

1:01:47 Caller You know what?

1:01:48 Adam Yeah?

1:01:49 Caller I don't need you to ask me that.

1:01:50 Adam Well, I just mean you seem pretty scattered.

1:01:53 Caller I am scattered right now.

1:01:54 Adam All right, well, calm down.

1:01:56 Caller I actually, I am scattered and I'll admit that and that's because...

1:02:02 Drew You're a lesbian.

1:02:02 Adam Drew, please, you're making things worse. I know, he didn't mean that.

1:02:06 Caller I'm totally in the guys.

1:02:10 Adam Oh, she just threw the F word in there.

1:02:14 Caller To Drew. To Drew.

1:02:15 Caller Oh my God. I think if you're somebody who has faith and who loves God, I think you're more grounded than anything. I don't think you're scattered as far as what your mind is going.

1:02:28 P.O.D. I just think people, they get confused about, you know, comparing like, religion is one thing and having a personal relationship is a whole other thing. And religion is something you do because, dang, I have to do my chant today or I got to do my ritual. Right. You know what, man? There ain't nothing. It's personal, man. Like, I talk to God like I talk to you. I ain't trying to be all like.

1:02:50 Caller We ain't holy one canoes.

1:02:51 P.O.D. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't like holier than thou. I'm just a normal average person that's just trying to make it every day.

1:02:56 Caller It sounds like she's a good person and she's just like anybody else. She's trying to help out some teenagers and stuff. You're doing a good thing, you know. It's okay to be scattered once in a while, you know. Just don't let it get the best of you.

1:03:07 Adam She used the S word and the F word.

1:03:11 Drew I'm a Christian in a hateful way.

1:03:15 Adam All right. Well, let me say this. Let me say this, and I think I was feeling this from Kim, which is there's a lot of people out there who are feeling like they're under a lot of pressure and that maybe things in their life aren't going according to plan. And then when a tragedy like this happens, it opens the floodgates and there's a lot of feelings. Some are attached to the tragedy, but some are just feelings that have been locked up for a while and are now spilling out. And I felt some of those spilling out from Kim. Did you get that vibe, Drew?

1:03:47 P.O.D. Absolutely. Well, you know, I think as Americans and as people, I totally, you know, I'm not trying to get all like this and stuff, but at the same time, I'm scared, you know? When this stuff went down, you know, I was like, my wife's like telling me, don't hop on a plane, you know, it's a bad time, we're about to go to war. But at the same time, I know what we do, and we've always done it for the past 10 years, just try to uplift people with music. Right. And if I decide to say, you know what, I'm not gonna do this anymore because I'm scared, then they got the best of me, those guys that did that. And I think as Americans, I think we can't let our life be ruled by fear. You know what I'm saying?

1:04:25 Drew A lot of talk recently about the Battle of Britain, where Britain was under constant bombing siege for a long period of time, and Churchill stood up and said, get about your business. And so they would protect themselves during the bombing, then they would come out from the bomb shelters, and they would go back to work and go back to school, and they were able to prevail because of that.

1:04:45 Caller Right.

1:04:45 P.O.D. Yeah.

1:04:45 Caller Yeah.

1:04:45 Adam I mean, England was bombed for years by the Germans constantly, and it didn't demoralize them. And the fact that they weren't demoralized, I think, demoralized Germany.

1:04:57 Caller Right. Right.

1:04:59 Adam Darren?

1:04:59 Caller Yes.

1:05:00 Adam You're 24. What's up?

1:05:01 Caller Hey. Hey, Adam. Hey, Drew. Well, I have a question and a comment. Well, first of all, I just want to thank the show for being a source of therapy for me for the last 10 years. I just want to say thanks for that.

1:05:14 Adam Oh, sure.

1:05:15 Caller But, well, my comment is that basically, yeah, I do agree with you, Adam, that overall this country has to handle the situation pretty well, but a lot of your responses to a lot of Arabic American callers that express fear of discrimination is that, you know, is there any fatality? And I just want to tell you that there has been, I think there's been like about ten, five or in Texas.

1:05:40 Adam Well, I had stated that a week ago, or maybe even more than a week ago now, when somebody was saying that it was sort of out of control, that there was all this bashing going on, and at that point there had not been a fatality. And I basically said that I don't agree with it, and wrong is wrong, but if there's been no fatalities, you can't say it's out of control. You know what I mean? I mean, one is bad, and anything is bad, but to say that this country has all turned on Arab Americans and that there's been no fatalities, and again, this was over a week ago I stated this, is not to me a problem that is out of control at that point. That's just what I was saying.

1:06:25 Caller Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's out of control like it would be in the Middle East, but I think 10 is still a lot. And I think a lot of people should listen to President Bush and all the politicians that we shouldn't suspend the civil liberties of Arabic Americans because of this. But I do know that there's a lot of retinacs who are ready to take advantage of this situation to engage in their agenda.

1:06:49 Drew Right.

1:06:49 Adam Oh yeah, absolutely. And you know, I bet in any given two week or week and a half period in this country, there's a certain amount of that that would go on anyway.

1:07:01 Caller Yeah.

1:07:01 Adam Right. And certainly in certain parts of this country.

1:07:04 Caller Yeah.

1:07:05 P.O.D. You know, I just say this, it just really, I mean, a lot of people are just getting hyped up by the media and they just, you know, they shouldn't mistake.

1:07:12 Caller It's an event.

1:07:13 P.O.D. Yeah, they shouldn't let their fear turn into hatred, you know what I mean?

1:07:17 Caller I think there's a lot of fear out there too, and I think that's real because I watched the news and they said that Arabic-American stores are being burned and this bread delivery guy, some guy drove up to him and said, go back to where you belong, you know?

1:07:32 P.O.D. Yeah, that's sad, man. That's foolish. And you know, that's really sad. It's just, you know, it's scary too, man, when you look at the news and you see people after this happened to us, you know, jumping around, giving candy out to everybody over there. And I saw this on the news and I was kind of tripping. I was like, you know what? Right.

1:07:48 Caller That makes you angry.

1:07:49 P.O.D. Yeah, it makes you mad. So I think people have a hard time dealing with their feelings, man.

1:07:54 Adam And that was isolated too, you know? I mean, we shouldn't and we all saw the news footage of them celebrating.

1:08:02 Caller They don't explain that. It's just you just see the clip on TV.

1:08:05 Adam Right. And you think the whole country is taking the day off in celebration when it's a small, small, small group that is celebrating it. And we shouldn't think their whole country is that way. We shouldn't be judged because some hick threw a brick. Wait a minute. I got to find some of the rhymes with with some hick. No, that's chic. All right. And the point is, is we shouldn't be judged for a couple of rogue guys who do a couple of horrible things either.

1:08:34 Caller As like you said, for every idiot that's doing something like that, there's hundreds of people that are helping out. Millions.

1:08:41 Adam Millions. All right. Hey, Gumby, you're back?

1:08:45 Yeah, I'm here. All right.

1:08:46 Adam You're 16. What's up?

1:08:47 Caller Well, I just want to ask, I think mainly Sonny, about the two songs that I've heard off there. One off the Brown LP, which is full color and how he talks about getting up and getting shot in, how should I say that, about getting up and how he shot the two people, the lady and the baby, and how that relates to...

1:09:09 P.O.D. No, that's not...

1:09:09 Caller No, that's a different song.

1:09:10 P.O.D. That's Live or Die, I think, on Brown LP.

1:09:12 Caller Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry, and how it's like Youth of the Nation, on the new LP, on the new album.

1:09:19 P.O.D. Oh, Youth of the Nation?

1:09:20 Caller What's your question?

1:09:21 Caller I think you got confused. He didn't say he shot.

1:09:24 Caller Yeah, he didn't...

1:09:24 Caller What's the story behind it, should I say?

1:09:26 Caller Which one? Live or Die, full color, Youth of the Nation? What?

1:09:29 P.O.D. I guess what he just said is the violence.

1:09:30 Caller Live or Die and Youth of the Nation, because it kind of sounds the same.

1:09:33 P.O.D. Storytelling, you know?

1:09:34 Caller Yeah, I think that's the most similarity, is just it's more storytelling. You know what I'm saying? Brown's an older album and I think that might have to do more with gang violence, you know, the story of gang violence, whereas Youth of the Nation on the new album, I think it just talks about more of where our kids are at today, you know, and being inspired by the Santee shooting, you know, being that we were a mile away and always kind of wanting to address this issue, it just kind of came up in a song, you know.

1:10:06 P.O.D. We had done a couple...

1:10:07 Adam That was a school shooting, by the way, about it. Was it about a year ago in San Diego? Was it six, eight months ago?

1:10:12 Caller No, just a few months ago, yeah.

1:10:13 Adam Well, we went out there, Drew, right? We went out to San Diego just a week or so after that.

1:10:20 P.O.D. We were writing this record like a couple blocks away, wow, when this happened, so...

1:10:25 Adam Jeez, the school shootings seem so quaint now compared to what's going on. It's like, oh, if we could just get back to the good old days with some school shootings. What a great world. I mean, it's so...

1:10:38 Caller The world keeps topping itself.

1:10:40 Adam I mean, it's like, I know it sounds horrid and morbid, but it was like the school shooters were almost an innocent time. Like, it sounds ridiculous, but it is true.

1:10:53 P.O.D. That's all numb, everybody.

1:10:54 Adam All right, Gumby, I hope that answered it for you.

1:10:57 P.O.D. I hope you have the Gumby hairdo.

1:10:58 Adam Let's talk to Angela, who's 27. Angela?

1:11:02 Hi there.

1:11:03 Adam What's up?

1:11:04 Hey, first I want to commend you guys for doing such a wonderful job of listening to your show on and off for the last few months, and I really enjoy it. It's uplifting, and you're getting out there and really making a big difference. Oh, thanks. Hey, I'm from a, not a recent immigrant, I've been here for about five years, but coming into the country and seeing what's going on at the moment, I've got sort of a couple of issues that I wanted to bring up that hasn't really been brought up so far tonight, and we're talking about intolerance, and it's really kind of, I've noticed quite a bit in the community I live in, which is very diverse. I'm in San Jose in California. I've noticed that, you know, there's been so many different reactions, even going to the airport, on how people are reacting as far as security, but more so towards each other, and it's like really brought out the best and the worst of human nature. I kind of, I had a question to you guys whether, you know, a couple of times tonight it's been brought up, the issue of going to war and religion, of course, with POD, who are a wonderful band. I love listening to you guys, too. But whether or not, for a start, war is the right way to go, of course, you know, that would be the big issue, and we don't know until we actually get there, whether or not, you know, going out there and retaliating and two wrongs don't make a right. That was one thing that really concerns me, and I'm sure it does everyone else. But also, the way that we are responding to our peers and to our neighbors and fellow citizens and all across the world, whether or not we're actually learning what we should be out of this, well, I kind of feel like sometimes I notice myself, as you've said tonight several times too, that you kind of have to stop and think about how you're reacting to people or not trying to be racist or prejudiced against a specific ethnic group. It's hard not to, the way it's been portrayed in the media, it's like a big propaganda.

1:12:58 Drew But you said we should stop and get a message in terms of our relationship with the world based on this experience. What would that be?

1:13:05 Um, get a message, um.

1:13:08 Drew Isn't that what you said?

1:13:09 Say that again, sorry?

1:13:10 Drew I thought you said, didn't I hear her say that we should be getting a message?

1:13:14 Adam I think so, but you may have gotten lost in the Kiwi accent. You don't mind being called a Kiwi, do you by the way?

1:13:22 Yeah, I'm trying to get at a hundred things at once and they're all getting jumbled together.

1:13:26 Adam What is a good derogatory term for a New Zealander?

1:13:30 There isn't a good, is there ever a good derogatory term?

1:13:33 Adam Well, I mean, I just mean, in case one cuts me off, I want to be able to yell something good. The Kiwi sounds so quaint, you know?

1:13:39 Give me some foresight here into where this conversation is going.

1:13:43 Adam Oh, okay. Well, listen.

1:13:44 Drew And what else is funny is that just because she has a little bit of the Queen's English, immediately we sit and listen, like the teacher's talking.

1:13:50 Caller Well, it's silent. It's dead silent.

1:13:52 Adam I know. It's so sad that we had to import someone in order to get a concise question on this show. But Angela has asked some good questions, but I'm still not clear what her overall one is.

1:14:07 Drew Yeah.

1:14:08 Adam And I'm not sure if she is either.

1:14:09 P.O.D. I'm going to war.

1:14:10 Yeah. No. I've got several things that are kind of that I wanted to talk about, but they're not really questions. It's sort of like putting things out there. The war thing. I don't personally agree that war is an answer to this, and I don't think that the majority of the population do as well, but I kind of feel like we're getting pushed into that. I feel like we're getting fed it through the propaganda of the media.

1:14:35 Adam Well, you see, hold on. Let me cut you off, because I disagree with that. I think, I don't think the media is going to... I think it's too convenient and too easy to blame the media for everything. I mean, this country, whether it's music, blue jeans, or late night TV, we watch what we want to watch and then the media jumps on. It's not the media telling us what to watch, what to listen to, and what clothes to buy. I think we as consumers or we as Americans start the trend and the media climbs on board. Maybe they perpetuate it after we get it started, but I don't think they could create something that we didn't want to do. If the media decided, hey, there's this band we really want to push, but the music really sucked, I don't think it would, they might sell a few more records, but it would never catch on.

1:15:27 Drew In fact, the poll suggests that the American population is sort of too anxious to get involved in sort of military activity.

1:15:34 Adam That's what I wanted to tell Angela, that if you stopped most Americans in the street, most are eager, maybe too eager for a little payback. I don't think it's the media foisting that on us.

1:15:47 P.O.D. Listen, I'm not always for war and stuff, but at the same time, I mean, if we don't do something about it, don't you think people are going to just take that event, take that...

1:15:56 Drew All I know is that when we have patients that escalate and become aggressive, okay, which is basically what we're dealing with here. We're dealing with people that are aggressive and are out of control. Yeah. The only, and I mean the only...

1:16:08 Adam You're talking about your psychiatric patients?

1:16:11 Drew Yeah, psychiatric hospitals and things, but you're dealing with people in clinical settings. The only thing they respond to is overwhelming force. You don't have to be violent with them, but you have to make a show of overwhelming force and then they de-escalate.

1:16:24 P.O.D. Yeah. And I think we definitely have to do something about it because I mean, if we don't, I think terrorists are going to say, oh, they didn't do nothing about it.

1:16:31 Caller I think this might be some of the tolerance the US has had to, you know, this place. It's like we just sit there and we take it, we take it, and all of a sudden it goes to this. Right. It's like, dude, we have to do something.

1:16:43 Adam I was saying last week that we're like a big, strong, good-looking jock with low self-esteem. This country, that we could kick the ass of anyone else in our school, but we feel so bad about ourselves most of the time that we're scared, and so we let guys kick us in the nuts and run, and we just stand there and argue over whether we should do anything or not. I mean, look, let's face it, this is, you know, I don't know if this is the best nation on earth, but I do know this. This nation has the ability to dismantle any other nation on this planet ten times over, and we have had that ability for quite a few years, and we have not done it. Yeah, we've had some bad moments, and we've had some foreign policies that, looking back on those, probably wasn't the greatest foreign policy. But how many other countries could have the ability to come over here and take us apart and not do it, knowing that they would have an easy victory? And I think that says a lot for this country. Every time someone wants to beat this country up, and it's usually one of our own who wants to beat us up, the ability, the fact that we could smash just about anyone else on the planet, and we've not done that, is pretty damn, it shows that we're decent people.

1:18:00 P.O.D. We need to take care of the bully in this situation.

1:18:02 Caller You know what I'm saying? It's like everybody's aggressive, and we're not. We're just sitting back.

1:18:05 P.O.D. Yeah, it's like a bully goes up to your kid at school, and you're just like, you know what, unless he touches you, don't hit him back. We don't want to encourage fighting, but you know what? They've done some low blows, man.

1:18:16 Caller They killed our families, man. You know what I mean? They killed our peoples without even thinking about it.

1:18:20 P.O.D. They blew up a boat, you know what I mean? And we know this stuff. And it's at the same time, you got to say, you know what, we have to do something about this.

1:18:25 Caller We have to.

1:18:26 Adam I totally concur. And I think the only problem is, and I think we can all agree on this, is we want to make sure we punish the right bully. And that bully is running around in a place with a lot of bullies that look like him, and we're not sure which one was the guy that kicked us in the nuts.

1:18:43 Caller I think it's people getting confused with us, just saying we want to go over there and just blow the whole country up, you know what I mean? I think we have to think about it, you know what I mean, and try to strategize.

1:18:53 Adam And I believe, by the way, we're coming on two weeks without a retaliatory strike, and that is what we're in the process, hopefully, of doing. But when we do discern who and where, I'd like to...

1:19:08 Caller We're talking thousands and thousands of people. This is not like some little thing that just went down. This is, I mean, this is major.

1:19:14 Adam Right.

1:19:15 Caller You know what I mean? This is huge. And for the US to even think about sitting back and just saying, well, this is the way it's going to be, you know, that's unacceptable. I think the people of America...

1:19:24 Drew Forget the US., the world.

1:19:25 Caller Yeah, the world. The whole world's hurting over this now.

1:19:28 Adam And I think for one of the few times we do have these folks, other countries, united with us on this, and hopefully they'll help out with the bully weapon. All right, we're going to take ourselves a little break. POD is here. We'll be back. We'll hear something else off the new CD satellite. We'll take more of your questions and comments after this. Hey, y'all. It's Love Line. I'm Adam Carolla. That's Dr. Drew over there in New York City. And, Drew, so you say the mood there is what? How would you describe it?

1:20:12 Drew Communal. It's like people are flipped out, and there's definitely a reaction.

1:20:18 Adam Right.

1:20:18 Drew But there's a remarkable degree of sort of dynamism and togetherness. Remarkable. And it really was sort of striking to me.

1:20:25 Adam All right. So I'm going there tomorrow. You're saying I may get laid?

1:20:29 Drew Yeah. The strip clubs were very busy.

1:20:31 Adam Unacceptable. All right. Love, Sonny, and Marcos are here from POD. We're going to hear something off the satellite CD, which is out in stores as we speak. I think we'll take a question from Josh, who's 19, and then we'll hear Youth of the Nation off the satellite. Josh?

1:20:51 Yeah.

1:20:51 Adam You're 19?

1:20:52 Caller Yes, I am.

1:20:53 Adam What's up?

1:20:54 Caller Well, I just wanted to first say, with up to POD., I think it's really cool. You guys are in the mainstream and still are able to express your faith and your belief in God, and basically just be totally unafraid of basically preaching that you're Christians and stuff like that. The other thing I wanted to say is my girlfriend is Egyptian, and Lebanese, and even some Turkish, and her family, well at least her grandparents are still Muslim, and her mom and her dad are Christians, and her grandparents are like the coolest people you could ever meet. I mean, they're total patriots of the US., they totally are true Muslims, and these terrorists that are being labeled as fanatical Muslims, I don't even think they should be called Muslims, because I mean, if you really look at the Islamic faith, it's actually all about loving everybody and loving your enemies and people who think differently than you, and just kind of embracing them as just, you know, all children of God, regardless of religion or race or any kind of ideology. And I just, that's basically what I wanted to say.

1:22:05 P.O.D. Except when they're saying, they're crying out Jihad.

1:22:08 Caller Well, the Jihad, the Jihad, actually, I talked to some people that I know that are Muslim, and all a Jihad is, is like the equivalent of when Christians do spiritual warfare. It's nothing but praying. It's praying for your enemies and praying for things to change so actively and so hard that, you know, and so it was such enthusiasm and passion that, you know, you know things will change. It's all it really is.

1:22:34 Drew I'm a real Buddhist at that point.

1:22:35 Adam Right. Well, yes, it means that for well over 99% of the Muslim population, but for a very small fringe element, it means war and war in the United States.

1:22:50 Caller Exactly. But that's exactly why I don't think they should be called Muslims at all, because the hide behind the faith...

1:22:56 Drew I have an inner question. Is the restrictions on women because of their religious faith, or is that purely a cultural thing?

1:23:02 Caller Absolutely not. What it is, is it's actually just... It's... It's basically a cultural thing. It's not a religious thing at all. In fact, women are supposed to be, as far as the Islamic faith is supposed to be, from what I've heard and from what I've been told by people who are Muslim is women are supposed to be held in such a high regard. I mean, they're believed to be like one of the best gifts from God. Any man can receive and they're supposed to be, you know, totally loved.

1:23:28 Drew We don't agree on that one.

1:23:30 Caller I mean, that's how I feel, personally. I'm a Christian, you know.

1:23:33 Caller I think it's the same thing as how you get these people bombing the abortion clinics and these people that get on TV and preach and ask for their money and they say, I'm a God-fearing Christian man. Or they're down with the KKK. It's like, that's not what being a Christian is. But it's the same thing as what people are looking at the Muslim thing. It happens. People just stereotype people. And that's just the way.

1:23:51 Caller Or they stand up with signs and say that God hates homosexuals, but they're not that polite. And that's the same thing. And people think, like, oh, that's what a Christian is.

1:24:00 Caller But that has nothing to do with it.

1:24:01 Caller Exactly. Those are fools.

1:24:03 P.O.D. Those are sour apples.

1:24:04 Caller Sour apples in the bunch.

1:24:05 Adam Right. And there's, you know, per capita, there's probably more of them than there is, you know, fanatic Muslims. I mean, if you really break it down now, to be fair to the fanatical Christians, they're beaten up on gays and are flying planes into, you know, financial centers, which does up the ante. Just a little bit, not that beating up on gays is good, but I'll take it over the World Trade Center. But that's the problem that I think a lot of people are having is it's such a small fringe element that is tainting in the eyes of many people that are sort of don't have the time. I mean, as Americans, we don't have a lot of time to put into world affairs and religions other than our own.

1:24:56 Caller We always make it a huge issue. No one ever wants to look at the person that says, hey, I love God, I'm a Christian, or whatever religion, and they're out serving their community, and they're raising awesome families, and they're out giving and doing whatever they can to help out. No one ever says, oh, that's awesome. But as soon as they do something wrong, it's like, oh, I see what you're all about now. It's unfair.

1:25:18 P.O.D. You got to understand something too, man. I mean, POD.

1:25:20 Adam Hold on. What's that, Drew? Are you saying something?

1:25:23 Drew No, go ahead. We'll wait till they're finished.

1:25:26 P.O.D. All right, well, shut up.

1:25:27 Adam Go ahead.

1:25:28 P.O.D. I was going to say, man, POD is definitely not about religion. We never have, and a lot of times we get religious people that come out to our concerts or they're picketing at our shows and they're picketing saying that we're of the devil and they got too many tattoos or they listen to hard, radical music. You know what?

1:25:44 Caller We're not good enough.

1:25:45 P.O.D. We're not good enough, and that's what anything right on the record kind of can actually be associated with, I guess, you know?

1:25:52 Caller You're the good bad guy, you're the bad good guy.

1:25:54 P.O.D. And the thing is we're just like, you know what? To set the record straight, we're just trying to just straight spread love through our music, man, and peace. You know what I mean?

1:26:02 Adam And anybody could have, I can't understand anyone who would have a prom with that, but unfortunately, there are.

1:26:08 Caller They do, but they do exactly.

1:26:09 Adam Drew, what were you going to say?

1:26:10 Drew I was just thinking about two other impressions I had about New York City that were different, that you're going to find when you get here. One is there's a policeman on every corner. There's a huge show of force here.

1:26:21 Adam Still not writing jaywalking tickets like they do out in LA though, right?

1:26:25 Caller Just standing here.

1:26:26 Drew Right across the middle and they stand and look right at you.

1:26:28 Adam That's what I love about New York.

1:26:30 Drew As you go down to the World Trade Center, there's like three state troopers on every corner. You know how the guys sell pictures of like New York City, the skyline pictures?

1:26:39 Caller Right.

1:26:40 Drew It's a little bizarre because the painted pictures and the photographic pictures, they're still on every corner selling, like really pushing the World Trade Center pictures.

1:26:48 Adam Really?

1:26:49 Drew It's a little, it's just peculiar.

1:26:51 Adam Right, right.

1:26:52 P.O.D. Anything to make a buck, right?

1:26:54 Adam Yeah, I mean maybe they're now looking at it as some sort of keepsake or something.

1:26:59 Caller I see this thing on TV where they're trying to, they got these people trying to make these beams of light. They're going to take the place of the World Trade Center and the skyline.

1:27:06 Adam Oh really?

1:27:06 Caller Yeah, it's pretty nuts.

1:27:09 Adam It'd be like Vegas with the Excalibur, whatever that film it is.

1:27:13 P.O.D. It's pretty weird because we actually just did a show like a couple days before that and a friend of mine in New York was like, we played in Battery Park and he was like, hey man, have you ever seen the Towers up this close? And that was the first time I'd ever seen them. Really?

1:27:26 Adam And that was just a few days?

1:27:27 P.O.D. Yeah, we got home a couple days later and then I woke up and I thought it was a dream. I was like, what is this? And it just tripped me out, man.

1:27:35 Caller Hey, Clank?

1:27:36 Caller Yo.

1:27:37 Caller Yo.

1:27:37 Caller Clank.

1:27:38 Caller Clank.

1:27:39 Caller New York Clank.

1:27:41 Caller Yes, yes, this is East Coast Clank.

1:27:44 Caller What up, dog?

1:27:45 Adam I'm guessing you guys know Clank.

1:27:46 Caller There's only one Clank in this world.

1:27:48 Caller Just like there's only one POD brothers, money brothers from the East Coast.

1:27:51 P.O.D. Right on, man.

1:27:53 Caller My question is, me and my fellas here have been talking about a lot of stuff. Now think about growing up, what you heard about the Tribulation, the End Times, the Revelation. Now, we were reading the paper over here in San Jose, and there's this cat that's saying that he wants to donate software so people can have like a picture ID, a thumbprint, all your information basically in like this one master computer. Doesn't this sound a little bit like the beginning of the end to you guys? Because it sure as hell is tough.

1:28:20 Caller It's kind of scary.

1:28:22 Adam You know what?

1:28:23 P.O.D. I just want to say this, dude. No one knows the time or the hour of anything. If you say you do, you're lying.

1:28:32 Caller Nobody knows, but it's trippy, dude, because we've been talking about this. I just got back from there a month ago, and then same just like you guys. I got woken up that day, and I was like, oh my God, what's going on? It was freaky and everything, but now sitting back like two weeks later, this stuff starts settling in, and you're saying your brain starts moving, and you're seeing all these commercials on TV, and they're talking about trying to make a one-world government and this and that, and now everybody to have one major ID card, all your information on one computer. It's kind of crazy.

1:29:00 Adam Yeah, but what do you guys... Thanks for the question, Clank. What about that? What about that? Because I know people are kind of freaked out about that, and they're always worried about the man and big brother and George Orwell and all that stuff. But to me, the righteous have nothing to fear. I don't care if a guy's got my social security number, my picture and my thumb. I just want to make it... I'll get through the airport that much faster because I'm not packing. I mean, here's the thing, and I think...

1:29:31 Caller You're not?

1:29:31 Adam I'm not.

1:29:32 Caller Well, I wasn't.

1:29:33 Caller He said you were.

1:29:35 Adam I do get a boner on the plane, but that's different. But here's what I think we do as a country is we try to do things like this every once in a while, and people speak up and people say, no, we can't give these people this kind of information for fear of what they would do with it. But I don't think the government, and I know there's a lot of wackos that really have a lot of conspiracies, but I don't think the government is interested in punishing its citizens. I really don't. I think it would like to try to punish those who are planning on punishing the government or some of its citizens. And if to me you pay your taxes and you're not a criminal and you're not violent, I don't think there's a big problem with that kind of stuff right now.

1:30:24 Caller I mean, Clay, he just raised the question. It's like this is something that obviously if he's studied it and he knows about this all of a sudden it's like wow, it's kind of scary now that maybe before I couldn't prove anything or this is just what I believe in and all of a sudden if it's starting to come into action, I mean I think it's credible to bring it up and say, hey, I think that's just what he was doing.

1:30:46 P.O.D. You gotta take it this way too at the same time when stuff was going on, when Y2K came out, everybody was going crazy, oh my gosh dude and lock your doors and everything and you're sitting there going, dang man, you're tripping me out.

1:31:01 Caller I mean it raises the question, I don't think we should be so nonchalant to be like, hey, give you all my info in the name of safety or what not.

1:31:10 P.O.D. That's just the way I am personally, even when I go get an oil change. Yeah, you don't like giving them your area code. I don't like leaving my stuff down.

1:31:17 Adam I don't do that either.

1:31:18 Caller No, actually I sit there and I look under the thing and make sure they change my filter.

1:31:23 Adam It's always funny though when they want your phone number and you're buying a stereo.

1:31:28 P.O.D. Why?

1:31:29 Adam And you don't want to tell them no, but they must know you're lying because you're like, they're like, what's your phone number and address and you're like, so you do a combination of your parents' number.

1:31:42 P.O.D. I just tell them, you know what, I might sound paranoid, but you know what, y'all, you get my name.

1:31:46 Adam Oh really?

1:31:47 P.O.D. And they're just like, oh, it's our court.

1:31:48 Adam I just go, look, I'll just give them a fake number, screw it, call my mom.

1:31:52 Drew I've got Bobby potted up here, Adam.

1:31:53 Adam All right, Bobby?

1:31:54 Caller Yeah, how you doing?

1:31:55 Adam You're 30, what's up there, Bobby?

1:31:57 Caller Hello, everybody. I just wanted to find out with the divisiveness of, you know, borders first and foremost, but religion kind of second or first, depending on how you look at it, how do you kind of go long term with the thought of tolerance and how do you, how do you blend, either blend religions or blend thought processes or like the whole idea of it all being divisive.

1:32:26 Adam Relation. Humanity being one. Well, yeah, I, I. How does it end up working out? Here's what I think you're asking.

1:32:34 P.O.D. First off, you gotta get rid of pride because every man in this world has a little bit of pride. And they always got boundaries like, you know, you go out here in LA, 18th Street's better than, you know, this or that. Or in San Diego, South Town is better than North Town.

1:32:50 Adam Right.

1:32:50 P.O.D. And you got countries. My country is better than your country.

1:32:53 Adam Well, I mean, it's a, I think it's a natural human instinct. I sat around today and watched the 10 NFL games with 10 guys who are all arguing over Miami and Dallas and...

1:33:06 Caller Chargers, baby.

1:33:07 Adam Chargers fans. That's my point. And they're playing Dallas. And we got a guy who's a Dallas fan and a guy. And so to me, that's instinct, man, to take up with some colors because if not, the NFL wouldn't be as big as it is and no major league, any major league baseball, any sports, people wouldn't care. Meanwhile, people are not... They're wearing the colors. They're wearing the jerseys. They're wearing the hats. I think that's a human impulse. Now, the question is, is can the two people watch the game without getting into a fistfight? And the answer is yes. They do it all the time. And I think you can do that with Muslims and Christians. I think they can have their own team and their own guys that they root for and not make it into a fistfight. But then the Raiders come to town.

1:33:58 Caller Oh, the Raiders.

1:34:00 Adam Now, you got to stab them. And that's what I'm saying. Now, there's those Raider fans. Raiders. And they would be like the more radical fringe that we're talking about.

1:34:11 Caller The Raiders and Chargers is good.

1:34:12 P.O.D. That was a good rivalry. I mean, they still got a nice ring.

1:34:15 Adam Whatever.

1:34:15 Drew The Raiders keep talking about G-Hot.

1:34:19 Adam But the point is, I think there's going to be that group. And a lot of people say, well, look, if you got rid of religion, and even if, let's say you could, then people wouldn't be broken up. But I would say people have that instinct, and it comes out in the NFL. We would break up by our streets. We would break up by our color, by height, by sex. Do you know what I'm saying?

1:34:42 Caller It's like the pin, man. It's like being in the pin. Right. Right. You gotta go with your group. Isn't that what Russia tried to do? You gotta get jacked up.

1:34:49 Adam That's right. Drew, you did some time, right? You ran with the white area. The Aryan Brotherhood, right? Aryan Nation.

1:34:56 Caller Miklo.

1:34:57 Drew The Chinese and the Russian tried to do away with that aspect of human nature, and it did not work.

1:35:03 Adam Right.

1:35:05 Caller It's been going on forever since the beginning of time.

1:35:07 Adam All right. Let's take ourselves a little break. POD is here. When we come back, Drew will weave tales from the joint. Tell us what it was like on the inside after this. Hey, everybody.

1:35:28 Caller It's Loveline.

1:35:29 Caller Yeah, boy.

1:35:31 Adam We just learned from Love that turning the other cheek is not always the best thing to do.

1:35:36 Caller No, you get one cheek turning and the next one you only got two cheeks to scrap.

1:35:39 Adam That's true. Sunny and Marcos are all here from POD. Satellites, name of the CD. I think we should take one call and then we'll hear some second song off the satellite. Clarissa?

1:35:54 Caller Yeah.

1:35:54 Adam Year 20, what's up?

1:35:56 Caller Yeah, I just want to say, first of all, you're at Adam Corolla's...

1:36:01 Adam Thanks. Are you drunk?

1:36:04 Caller Yeah.

1:36:04 Adam Yeah.

1:36:06 Caller No comment.

1:36:06 Caller All right.

1:36:07 Adam Yeah? Is she hung up? I just want to know if she was drunk.

1:36:10 Caller She was offended.

1:36:12 P.O.D. She was offended.

1:36:12 Adam Oh, okay. I know. I appreciate it. She sounded a little tipsy. She cussed and I helped her. Oh, she cussed? I didn't hear her cuss.

1:36:20 Caller I think she said, fricking.

1:36:21 P.O.D. We got to go to a song anyway.

1:36:22 Adam Okay. Listen, here's the deal. Engineer Anderson is dying to hear a POD song, so he just hung up on her, basically. That's how it works. No, you're not going anywhere. He just wants to hear another one off-saddle line. All right. This one is called Youth of the Nation. All right, just talking football with our POG. All right, we got to take ourselves a break. Drew, imagine me talking about high school football, huh?

1:40:57 Drew Oh my God. Are they awake?

1:40:59 Caller Oh, please.

1:41:01 P.O.D. We're actually down. We're going to start a team.

1:41:02 Adam That's right.

1:41:03 Caller Team.

1:41:04 P.O.D. We're going to be the coach, Drew.

1:41:05 Caller What's up? I'm going to start making up the claps now.

1:41:07 Adam Drew played a seven and a half man football over at the Little Lord Fauntleroy School for Albino Hemophiliac. So watch out, he's got some games. How do we become a truck in here? All right.

1:41:17 P.O.D. Please.

1:41:19 Adam Bet you wonder where we've been. So humiliating. We're a little cheering, just a little bit for the Powder Puff game. Because we're funky on our feet. Once you hear the girls would play a game and they needed the football players to cheer the Powder Puff.

1:41:33 Caller Right.

1:41:33 Adam You guys know.

1:41:34 Caller All right.

1:41:34 Adam We'll take a break. We'll be back with POD after this.

1:41:38 Caller Here it is.

1:41:38 Adam Bottom line, it sucks being single today.

1:41:41 Caller Tons of lame people and no decent prospect.

1:41:46 Caller 1-877-889-DATE.

1:41:58 Caller All right.

1:41:59 Adam I want to thank POD for coming out here tonight. Satellite is the name of the CD. Hey, you guys were great. I had a good time on and off the air with you. We stumbled on to our mutual love of football a couple of breaks ago.

1:42:15 Caller Whatever.

1:42:16 Adam It's been quite an affair. Hey, good luck to you guys.

1:42:20 Caller Thank you.

1:42:21 Adam I do mean that. You guys were great. Come back anytime you like.

1:42:24 Caller Thanks for having us.

1:42:25 Adam We much appreciate it. Satellite, again, is the name of the CD. It's sold out at a lot of places, kids, but you got to be a little persistent. Good things are worth the wait sometimes. You got to work at it a little. But go out and get that because these are good guys. And it's not like that money would be going up their nose or to one of their 15 illegitimate kids. Alright, 10% going to the church. We're going to take ourselves a little extended break. And until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo. Here we come a truckin in.

1:42:58 Caller Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh.

1:43:00 Adam Bet you wonder where we been.

1:43:01 Caller Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh.

1:43:03 Adam We're a team that can't be beat. Cause we're funky on our feet.

1:43:10 Drew You're gay.

1:43:11 Caller This has been Loveline. The opinions expressed on the show are not necessarily those of the staff, management sponsors, or this station. The producer for Loveline is Dan Wilkins Dingle. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
