1:10🔗VoiceoverAdam Corolla, Dr. Drew. I'm not modeling anymore for the two of you.
1:16🔗AdamYep, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-L-E-V-E-1-9-1, fax number 310-8-5-4-44-55. Dr. Drew's a board certified physician in addiction medicine special.
1:33🔗AdamI just like the post you have on at the beginning of the show. You just shot me. Oh, Christ. Another show. Look, it looks like we never leave this goddamn studio, isn't it, Drew?
1:45🔗AdamIt's way too much of each other, isn't it? All right. Our guest tonight is Vertical Horizon. We have Keith Kane, Matt Scannell and Sean Hurley, all from the band. And Ed, I believe, is going to be coming in here a little bit later on. And there will be a rare live acoustical Loveline performance tonight, which we're looking forward to. Yeah, you guys go. Yeah, thanks.
2:17🔗AdamWell, that's confidence. I like that. No, I mean, I know the answer wasn't real confident, but we don't have too many. I mean, Drew, how many live performances have we had here in the last four or five years?
3:01🔗AdamWell, anyway, the point is, we've done our share of jamming, but not tonight. We're going to let you guys fly solo. I hope you're all right with that. So did you guys meet in college at Georgetown? Did I hear that?
3:17🔗Yeah. Keith and I met our senior year at school, and he had a show, a weekly coffee house gig, and I just sort of came down with him and sat in for a couple of gigs, and it just started to go well.
3:29🔗AdamAnd playing at a weekly coffee house, just doing what? I mean, like just playing acoustically?
3:40🔗Yeah. You know, cover songs, the originals that we had written at that time, it was mostly just a way to quickly make 40 bucks and have a place where our friends could come down and drink free beer.
3:50🔗AdamYou couldn't just salvage some dignity and blow guys for the 40 like I did?
3:59🔗AdamDon't discount it, man. And did everyone finish college then and then go off, as far as you just go screw it, we're forming a band.
4:07🔗Keith and I finished college because it was the right thing to do. And our good friend Sean here did his stint with the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Fine institution.
4:19🔗AdamThey have a Berklee College of Music in Boston?
4:21🔗Vertical HorizonIt's not really a real school. Certainly no Berklee like out here. They spell it wrong.
4:28🔗DrewHardcore. I flew out when I came back from Minneapolis last week. I flew out next to a woman who went to the Berklee School of Music. I don't know what her instrument was, but her degree was in like recording art, which I thought very bizarre because I thought it was a fine art school basically. Music school. It's everything.
4:43🔗Vertical HorizonYeah. It's everything. It's real up to date too. They have MIDI. They've got everything there, but they also let anybody in. If you got 50 bucks and you want to go.
4:54🔗AdamWell, Drew went to SC, so it's the same thing at least for grad school. Speaking of Boston, Dicky from the Mighty, Mighty Ballstones will be in here tomorrow night. It doesn't say it up there, but I'm just doesn't say it up there.
5:09🔗AdamI know all the Ballstones are in town. They're shooting a video. They got a new CD coming out. He's going to bring it with him tomorrow and we'll debut it because it's not coming out for a few months.
5:20🔗AdamNo, we're going to debut the music, goofball. Got a new CD. I know I said they're in here shooting a video. They got a new CD coming out. It's audio.
5:29🔗AdamRight, right. Well, we can show the video here if they haven't cut together fast enough. So Vertical Horizon tonight, Boss Tones tomorrow night. I think we'll go to the phones. I'll give you guys some locations where you can find Vertical Horizon, some tour dates and things like that. Remember, they're going to play live at the beginning of the next break. So about 20 minutes from now and until then, we'll hop on the phones. Mike, you're 16. What's up?
5:58🔗CallerWell, I heard, always heard that smoking causes impotence, right? Smoking cigarettes.
6:17🔗CallerBecause I mean, yeah, honestly, he'd get a muller at this age. Yeah. I mean, that's not helpful. But it's most noticeable when I'm having a cigarette.
6:25🔗DrewWell, your heart rate goes up and I suppose there could be some, I think, other physiological-
6:31🔗AdamAll I can think of when we talk to these 16-year-olds that are getting these unwanted erections all over the place is it's too bad you can't bank those. You can't just squirrel them away.
6:41🔗AdamLike I would have a good 2,500 from my 10th grade year of high school, just floating around that I could call on when I'm in my 70s and my prostate is inflamed that I've lost my will to live. First off, you get interest because it's been 50 years. Secondly, I don't even know if I can have one of those anymore, one of those erections. Sure, I get an erection. I'm not even sure whose it is. I may have dipped into someone else's vault.
7:11🔗DrewDo you mean the diamond cutting thing or the...
7:12🔗AdamYeah. I get a sort of erection now where my penis is kind of like, all right, I'll have an erection. But I'll give you about 75, 80 percent, but it's not going to be one of those on the bus on the way into high school when you wore the sweatpants. It's not going to be that erection.
7:33🔗DrewSome people get some erections with stimulants and nicotine is a stimulant. So it makes some sense to me that you might be getting it now. But the most significant issue with tobacco and impotency is a narrowing of the arteries, arterial damage as you get older. So it takes many decades for that to happen. And that's when it goes bad.
7:49🔗AdamAn interesting study you've done on yourself, Mike. Drew, you'll publish that next month's JAMA?
8:54🔗CallerOkay. Basically, I started going out with this girl that I didn't really know too well. We talked about it before we had sex. It was one of the sporadic nights where…
9:08🔗CallerWell, okay. Well, basically, we met up one night through some friends. We didn't say a word to each other the whole night that we were out. But then somehow she ended up sleeping on one couch. I ended up sleeping on the other. And we ended up having sex out of the blue. It was the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.
9:25🔗DrewI thought you said you talked about it beforehand.
9:28🔗CallerWell, I mean, like right before we were about to have intercourse.
9:42🔗AdamBecause we are the world's dumbest callers.
9:45🔗DrewWhat was the importance of that little fact in your story? We talked about it beforehand. Meaning you went, do you have anything? I don't know, do you have anything? Okay, let's go.
10:22🔗CallerI talked to some other people and they said, well maybe it's just like a yeast infection. I didn't even think you guys could get that.
10:28🔗DrewNo, guys can, but it's just basically sort of a red irritated skin, it's not scabbing.
10:34🔗AdamWhat do you have? Because I had one of those yeast things once.
10:37🔗DrewGregg, you gotta get this checked out, it could even be syphilis can do this, LGV can do this, there are various illnesses, but herpes being the most common.
10:43🔗CallerBecause the first one was four scabs and they were almost in a square, and then it went away for about two weeks and it came back and it was almost like a circle with like a little line coming out of a part of the circle.
10:55🔗AdamFirst one was the big dip or second was Orion's Belt.
11:38🔗CallerWell, I mean, I'll go to the doctor. I mean, that's not really a problem for me. I'm not scared to get tested or anything like that, but it's just the fact that I'm just hoping it's mild if that's what it is.
11:49🔗DrewWell, it's clearly mild, but if that's what it is based on what you're describing, it is very mild.
11:53🔗CallerYeah, because I mean, it didn't really, only the second time did it itch at all.
11:57🔗DrewI understand. It's mild if that's what this is.
12:00🔗CallerDon't they have medicine now for that?
12:02🔗DrewTo decrease the duration and frequency of outbreaks, that kind of thing is pretty effective.
12:06🔗AdamGraham? Yes? Drew, tilt the screen down, would you? All right. 27, yes. What's up?
12:12🔗I assume you guys might have some notes on what I told the person earlier, but...
12:17🔗The basic story is of an Indian girl for three months. She got pregnant and neither of us are in a position in our lives where we can afford to have a child. And basically she sat down and she decided to terminate the pregnancy. That's been what my call was all along. And basically, I guess I was a little adamant in my position, I guess you could say. And now basically she's just... she's not very happy that she's going through this. And I don't know whether she sees my point of view or not. And you know, now she's beginning to start in with the, you know, when you're giving something, you have to deal with it. And she's telling me I'm selfish, I'm immature. And basically I'm just trying to figure out a good way to make her see my point of view.
13:13🔗It's probably going to happen Friday or Saturday. And I guess what I've offered to do is, I mean, it's pretty much a given thing that this is going to be over with when we're not going to be able to date anymore.
13:27🔗AdamYou're not going to be able to date when this is done?
13:29🔗Yeah, I think it's gotten to the point where...
13:33🔗Yeah, maybe that's it. I've seen her true colors. And, you know, it's gotten so bad that basically it's uncomfortable for us to even be in the same room. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go with her to the counseling session. I guess that happens beforehand. And I don't know whether she's going to want me to go with the procedure or not, but I'm just trying to get her to see my point of view.
14:00🔗AdamBut hey, but listen, Graham, you're 27, you haven't learned anything about women. First off, you have to pretend like everything's their idea. Kind of like our program director over here, K-Rock. You have to pretend like everything was their idea. And there's no use, I mean, they're going to resent you. It's a very difficult situation for them. They're going to have a lot of mixed emotions. If you're sure this is something she's going to do, then I would just completely be supportive and tell her you know what she's going through, explain how you didn't want to talk about, but you had an abortion in high school that you've never discussed before. I've done that. They'll go along with it if you start crying. No, just, you know what I mean?
14:42🔗CallerLike, if I had it from several, so many different angles, it's not even funny.
14:46🔗AdamYeah, but listen, Graham, she's getting the abortion, right?
14:52🔗CallerI'm hoping so. I mean, she's gone as far as to make the appointment.
14:54🔗AdamWell, we'll assume that she's getting the abortion. So your work is done. Now your job is to pretend like she can do whatever she wants. You're completely supportive. You know what I'm saying? Why? It's not a class assignment. It's not a speech and debate class. It's not something you have to win or lose. Your job is to try to keep the relationship intact.
15:20🔗CallerWell, the point is I'd still like her to go through with this.
15:37🔗AdamAll right. Wow, Graham, you really hate kids. God bless you. I wish more of our callers hated kids as much as you do. I respect that.
15:46🔗CallerI know I'm not in a position to raise a kid.
15:49🔗AdamIronically, you're probably in a better position than three quarters of the people who call the show who have gotten their girlfriends pregnant. But still not a good enough position, and that's fine. Here's the deal. Don't argue with her too much. Be nice. Be supportive.
16:03🔗CallerBasically, I'm just shutting up and letting her vent on me.
16:06🔗DrewShe is going to feel a lot of pain and loss. A lot.
16:35🔗AdamThat's what she gets and that's what your colors are and that's what you've shown. That is the hand you've shown and that's why she's pissed at you.
16:43🔗DrewShe would be absolutely violated by that point of view.
16:46🔗AdamGraham, you need to swallow a little pride and bite your lip and do one or two other cliches and just say, I know what you're going through, I'm sorry, it must be horrible, I want to be there anyway I can. She'll get the abortion and you won't come off looking like what you really are. All right? All right. Just shut up and nod your head a little bit.
17:08🔗AdamAll right. I tell you, it takes a while to figure that out with women, but guys, right? Shut up and nod. It's a lot of, oh man. All women want you to say is, here's your mantra, man, it must be horrible what you're going through. Whatever it is, whether it's work, period, abortion, whatever. Their friend Tammy, once in a while you have to change around, oh it's horrible what Tammy's going through. But just a lot of head nodding and a lot of, oh that is tough, that is horrible.
17:41🔗DrewYou get clipped that way too though. There's got to be something a little more to it.
18:17🔗AdamI agree with you, but I think guys look at it that way. Guys look at, all right, it's, hey, I grant you, it's not pretty and I wouldn't want to do it, but I could handle it. I don't want the kid anyway. We don't have all the hormones raging and the mothering and all these instincts, thank you, that they have. Saying Graham really doesn't have it. Well, when I say they, I mean them. Sarah, you're 19.
18:46🔗CallerYeah, I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get over that jerk.
18:51🔗CallerOh, he hit a spot. Anyway, I'm sorry. First, I want to say, Dr. Drew, we're talking about you tonight at work and everybody just adores you.
19:00🔗That's right. I just all think you are such a great guy. You are. We all look up to you.
19:05🔗CallerI just look up to you so much. You just don't know.
19:26🔗CallerAll right. Wait a minute. The reason I'm calling is because my boyfriend and I have been together just for about a month. He has three kids and I love kids.
20:52🔗AdamWell, I'll put it this way. Either he's putting a spin on it or worse, it's true.
20:58🔗CallerShe really is independent, though. She's a person.
21:01🔗AdamNo, no, no. It means like he took a swing at her or something. Listen, if you're a woman who has two kids with a guy and you don't want to marry him, either he's strung out on heroin or you have some serious issues.
21:55🔗CallerWell, he did. He had a degree and everything, but he just stopped working all of a sudden. He just worked at a bar now, I guess. He just totally vanished out of my life.
22:20🔗DrewSo does this guy have a substance problem?
22:22🔗CallerNo, not really. I know he smoked hot on occasion. We've gone to parties before. But that kind of bothers me too. I mean, he got three kids. Get over it.
22:51🔗CallerI just don't know if I want to meet him. He wants me to meet the kids, and I don't know if I want to get it.
22:54🔗DrewDon't. No. Don't do it. That's the best instinct you've had. This entire phone call, that's the one clear, healthy instinct you've had. Oh, good. Unless you're going to marry this guy, do not get involved with the kids.
23:36🔗AdamPrincess, you're 19, come on. You're 19, you're free, you don't have any baggage. Why don't you just find yourself a nice 21-year-old guy and date him?
24:05🔗AdamYes, but your antenna's bent. We don't trust this guy. You're attracted to him. That means there's something up with him. Get a little therapy, read a book, take a walk.
24:35🔗AdamHere's basically what this show is. People call in wanting to do stuff. We tell them why they can't. They're like, I met someone. I think I'm falling in love.
24:47🔗AdamCut your vagina off. No. Do not talk to that person ever again. Yeah. Cement it over. They're like a well. All right. We are going to take ourselves a little break. Vertical Horizon is going to play for us, right? When we come back.
25:01🔗CallerWhenever you guys want. We're going to do it.
25:02🔗AdamI think we're going to do it when we come back and that'll be.
25:05🔗DrewNo, no. I think it was after the top, top of the hour. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. I think the next hour at the top of the hour.
25:16🔗DrewAfter the top of the hour they were talking about.
25:18🔗CallerYou know what? If you're going nuts though, I think you're in the right room.
25:21🔗AdamI think what we'll do is, he doesn't help his own. He just helps arrange his. What we're going to do is, then we'll come back, we'll hear something from Vertical Horizon off the CD, and then they'll play live when we come back. All right. After this. It's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. He is Dr. Drew over there. Vertical Horizon is our guest tonight. Keith, Matt, and Sean are here. Ed will be in here in the next hour when these guys play live. Everything You Want is the name of the CD. We are going to hear something off of that CD. As a matter of fact, we're going to hear the title cut. Drew, are you all right with that? Such a good record.
26:35🔗AdamGood. Let's hear that, and then we'll be back. That is Everything You Want off Everything You Want. Vertical Horizon is the name of the band, and we just had a conversation with them during the song, which sounds real good, by the way, which is how often should you chime in? And the point is, is I'll go out in the parking lot and smoke right now if you want to.
30:52🔗Vertical HorizonAll right, I got you back. I'm chiming in right here.
30:55🔗AdamPeople think that we're gonna take some sort of offense to people chiming in, and the reality is, we'll be here tomorrow night, and then we'll be here the next night.
31:03🔗CallerYeah, this is my Loveline appearance. I'm fired up.
31:12🔗AdamNext one. The only thing about this show is, as long as it's real, as long as it's organic, and there's gonna be, people say, guests say all the time, oh, man, I didn't want to say anything during that last call because it was so serious. And it's like, well, then don't say anything funny, but you can say something serious if you want. Just be human, and if you have something to say, say it, and if you don't, don't, either way, it doesn't matter, but don't hold yourselves back. And it's all right, we'll shut your mics off, you get too out of hand. We've only had to do it a few times. I can't remember who was in here. It's been a while.
32:09🔗CallerYeah, I have, I've been meaning to call lately. I'm 17 and I've had a lot, I have like a lot of health problems and I was born with spina bifida. I don't know if you know what that is.
33:01🔗CallerI haven't even got out of anything, but I still have been a lot of health problems.
33:06🔗AdamHow's the 17 surgeries work though, and how much do you trust the doctor around like 14? When he's going, we're going to take care of it this time. Yeah, right.
33:14🔗DrewIt's basically creating a bony roof over the spinal cord, I bet.
33:17🔗CallerYeah. I've had a lot of surgeries done the same, like, repeatedly, and I just had one, like, a few weeks ago.
33:25🔗DrewI hear you wheezing. You've got to take care of it. Use your inhalers.
33:28🔗CallerNo, I don't really use them very much.
33:30🔗DrewWell, that's part of the reason you're... I mean, asthma is something you have to take care of. You can get emphysema if you don't keep it under control.
33:39🔗CallerOh, OK. But I'm waiting for him to have sex after, you know, I get married and stuff, you know, when I'm stable. And I'm allergic to latex. And I was wondering, what do I do about my condoms and stuff like that?
35:19🔗AdamYeah. Well, the thing that's funny is it's like God's like, all right, we'll give her spina bifida, we'll give her asthma and let's throw in allergies to latex too. Why not? Come on, I want to roll with this one. Poor kid.
35:31🔗DrewYou know what's interesting about medical illness? Ten percent of the population has 90 percent of the illnesses. Wow.
35:36🔗AdamYeah. Really? They're horned at all. We don't get our share.
35:39🔗DrewAll of us, as we get older, eventually join that 10 percent.
35:42🔗AdamWhat is that? I mean, does she have a greater likelihood of being allergic to latex?
38:29🔗AdamBut lately, and this is like the last couple of times we gamble, the last couple of nights have been nothing but snake eyes. Yeah. So we're really going to have to put the gloves on, Drew, and go to work.
38:57🔗AdamLoveline. It's Loveline. Keith, Matt, and Sean are all here from Vertical Horizon. Dickie will be in here tomorrow night from the Boss Stones. I don't know if any of the other tones will be in here.
39:39🔗DrewWhat's his buddy's name? I can't remember.
40:02🔗AdamYeah, that's the best gig. It's not like he did a few colleges back in the late 80s and then, you know, they started to sell a few records and go on tour to Europe and left him behind. They take him.
41:41🔗AdamNow, see, this is tough because she said her parents are together. There's never any kind of wholesale abuse. I mean, what the hell are we going to get out of this?
41:49🔗DrewIf I didn't hear her voice and she didn't give me that feeling, I would just say, oh, lesbian. So what?
42:02🔗DrewYou can't escape that kind of, wait a minute.
42:04🔗CallerShe sounds like she's under a blanket with a flashlight with a phone right now.
42:08🔗AdamThere's too much nuance here. I think we ought to screw the gambling with this one. Just try to get to it and gamble down the road. Kim, okay, why do we get that vibe from you?
42:18🔗CallerProbably because I'm trying not to wake up my parents.
44:47🔗AdamAlright, so let me just get this straight. Boy, this thing's really starting to... It's like throwing an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a glass of water or something. It's really starting to go off.
45:02🔗AdamAlright, but see, our instincts were good from the voice and the whole thing, but it's just she screwed us at the top with the, everything's fine, my parents are still together. So Kim, let's just backtrack for one second here.
46:35🔗AdamOkay. All right. Hey, Kim? I don't think we're going to get to the bottom of it, but man, now that we have just a sort of mosaic of what is starting to go on or what had gone on here, we all get the eerie feeling that there may be even more here.
46:51🔗DrewYeah. One quick question. Is your girl your best friend? Is she somebody needs a lot of sort of care?
47:02🔗AdamAll right. Hey, Kim? Mm-hmm. Well, why don't you? All right. Well, do what you want to do. I don't know. I'd take it slow if I were you, because I would bet that a lot of the motivation is not because you're still in love with your friend, but just because of the sort of sketchy past that you've had.
47:21🔗AdamSo why don't you just take it slow and be real cautious about it?
47:24🔗DrewYou'd probably have trouble telling the difference between intimacy, friendship and love.
47:28🔗CallerI don't know, because sometimes she comes up to me and she's like, you know, for some reason I think I like you or something, and then the next minute she's all different.
47:38🔗AdamJust take it slow, Kim. You're on the right track with the ladies. I really do. I really do believe that. All right.
47:44🔗DrewWell, imagine if you get into it with a man.
47:46🔗AdamWe could waste it all that time. We have to, now ironically, take ourselves a break. But you can see there was, there's something driving that voice. We'll be back for Vertical Horizon after this.
47:58🔗CallerLoveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. Back in a minute.
48:01🔗AdamWell, it's worth hearing. Yeah, this is Loveline. We're going to take ourselves a quick 10-second affiliate time out here, and we'll be back in just 10 seconds. This is Loveline on Radio Station. It's Loveline, I mean, we're all over there. Phone number, 1-800-L-V-E-1-9-1. The boss tones will be in here tomorrow night. Vertical Horizon is here tonight. Ed has joined his mates, Keith, Matt, and Sean on the drums or the box as it were. And we're going to hear something off of Everything You Want and what are we going to hear? You can just yell it.
49:21🔗CallerThis is the first song on the record, it's called We Are.
49:23🔗AdamAll right, let's hear it. Wow. Hey, is my mic on? Yeah, that was great. Vertical Horizon, everybody. That, uh, that not only sounded great, but if you knew the conditions in this studio, I mean, there's no sound check. Ed's playing a box stuffed with Drew's porn over there. The mic, we didn't have a mic on a stand. Everyone's just sort of yelling at a group of mics. Uh, Drew and I just took our mics and sort of appointed it in the general direction of the band. I mean, wow, that is really impressive.
54:22🔗Vertical HorizonThat's how we made the album, though, so.
54:24🔗AdamIt, uh, it worked. That sounded great. And that, uh, like I said, that is, uh, we do, we have a lot of bands on the show, and they sell a lot of records, but, um, not a lot of them would sound that good under, under these conditions, I would guess. And partly because they're drunk.
54:51🔗AdamAnd it's, uh, it's really, you know, I never really, I was trying to, I was trying to, uh, get in the moment, in the middle of the song, and think to myself, you know, the band's great, we're sitting here, two and a half feet from, we're sitting on chairs while they stand in front of us. I mean, how many, how many people get the opportunity?
55:07🔗AdamPeople wait in line, then they get shoved to the, then they're shoved to the back of some auditorium somewhere, and if they're lucky, they can get up on their boyfriend's shoulders and get a look, but it's nice. Nice to, uh, nice to sit right before him and get this spammed on by the band.
55:21🔗Vertical HorizonWe're glad to share the moment with you.
55:23🔗AdamYeah, that was, uh, that was really impressive.
55:24🔗CallerYou guys are good listeners, too, you're very good listeners.
55:27🔗AdamI'll tell you, it, uh, it, Drew, uh, Drew paid you the highest compliment, he shut his computer about three quarters of the way into it. Maybe the thing went offline, I don't know what it was, but, uh, really, that, that really was, uh, impressive.
55:40🔗AdamUh, and just for that, I'm gonna give a couple of plugs, uh, where you can find, uh, the band doing, uh, songs like that and more in a town, uh, near you. They're gonna be in, uh, Lafayette, Louisiana, I'm guessing, uh, coming up on the, uh, 26th of this month, the 29th, they'll be in, uh, Drew's, uh, second home, Minneapolis.
55:58🔗AdamLast week, second home, uh, 34th, they'll be in, uh, Austin, Texas, and then, uh, 13th, uh, back here in Los Angeles, and, uh, they'll be in some other places. It's just, you can't hear us in those other places right now, I'm assuming. So, for all you know. So screw you. Screw you. There you go. All right. Drew, you, uh, find some, uh, places on there that we're on? That we should alert them to? No?
56:42🔗AdamIf you have, hey, hey, Anderson, do you have just a snippet of us when we're in full effect with John Popper, Drew on, uh, bass guitar, me on, uh, what was I playing, Drew?
58:21🔗CallerAnd I think it's either because I've just got... Well, I know part of it is that I'm not turned on by any type of porn or magazines or anything like that. I actually need to have a person with me to get...
58:44🔗CallerAnd also, I'm not circumcised. And when I've tried to go out myself, I just end up with a red penis and a sore shoulder. I really can't get into it.
59:07🔗AdamThat's when God gives you a hand job. That's basically what the nocturnal emission is. Listen, I know I told you not to whack off, but you are overdoing it, brother. I'm going to help you out.
59:17🔗CallerThey are so quick on the sounds, I got to say, man.
59:26🔗AdamAll right, but don't you think you have... Doesn't have that stenosis of the foreskin or something? Isn't that what it is? I mean, if he's getting a handful of blood every time he masks it...
59:43🔗AdamSo here's the problem. Let me explain something, boys. There is a window to perfect your masturbation technique. For me, it was more of a sliding door. But it's somewhere between 12 and a half and 18. And if you don't take care of it in those crucial formative years, it slams shut, you'll lose... You know what it's like? Once in a while, you get into a softball game, and you're playing with a guy, and you realize he never threw that ball in Little League, he never played. When all the other little 11, 12 year olds were out there playing Pickle and tossing the ball around and stuff, he was inside reading or crying or playing with an Etch A Sketch or something. Now you hit the field with the guy, he's 24 years old, no arm, throws the ball like a chick, he puts the softball. This guy could move in with Ken Griffey Jr. and he'd never have an arm. Because you either get that arm at about nine or ten, or you'll never have it. It's formative. And it's the same thing with the masturbation. He never got it, and now it's a tough road to hoe.
1:00:45🔗CallerI feel like his biggest problem is that he has a sore shoulder and not like a sore wrist. I feel like he might be doing it wrong.
1:00:51🔗Vertical HorizonPutting too much into it now.
1:00:53🔗AdamI wish it would go up to my shoulder. I'm the sister. For me, it's all, I get a sore knuckle. It's all finessed with the fingers. All right. He has problems outside of this. I mean, doesn't he? He's had sex four times in five years, he's never masturbated, he's kind of weird. Hey, Freddie, are you depressed?
1:01:13🔗CallerI mean, I'm depressed right now, but in general, I think I've got a lot going for me.
1:01:21🔗AdamAnd why did you only have sex a couple of times?
1:01:24🔗CallerWell, I mean, I didn't even have sex with her.
1:01:29🔗DrewThat's why I broke up. Is there something biologically going on with you, which is my suspicion? You say you have no medical problems, but this is something that sort of warrants evaluation, I would say.
1:01:41🔗CallerI'm just not following you, I guess.
1:01:43🔗DrewI'm just wondering if there's a biological cause for what you're going through.
1:01:46🔗DrewOr maybe psychiatric. But be that as it may, it's something that's sort of amiss.
1:01:51🔗CallerI'm not working construction or anything. I feel like I'm together in my head.
1:01:56🔗DrewAnd you may be. And this may just be you. I mean, some people's biology is just low. Yeah, some people are. And you may argue that there's psychological reasons for it, but whatever it is, it's what it is. You know what I mean? Just like your preoccupation with breasts and whatnot.
1:02:34🔗CallerFirst of all, I have this sore leg in my lip whenever I'm nervous or like under a lot of pressure and it's kind of red and then I scabbed over after a couple of weeks.
1:03:05🔗DrewThat is one of the mysteries about herpes is what are the requisites to getting it transmitted. And the most important thing is that you have symptoms. If it's burning and itching or whatever and you feel something coming, then you can assume this virus is, until the sort of crusts fall off, then you're no longer contagious. Or you shouldn't or not as contagious.
1:03:49🔗AdamSon of a bitch. I'd like to find that guy and string him up. Huh, fellas? Yeah. I got a posse going tonight. Drew, get the torches and the pitchforks. We're going out.
1:04:39🔗CallerWe bend over and hyperventilate, and then we stand up and they press on our necks.
1:04:43🔗DrewOh, that's got to be good for you, huh?
1:04:44🔗CallerYeah. Totally. And then you're out for like five seconds, but it seems like you're out for like three hours. And then you wake up, and it feels really cool.
1:04:56🔗DrewWell, the reason it feels cool is you're cutting off the blood supply to your brain, and it's very difficult to sort of control cutting it off transiently to going a little too far and causing a stroke. And just like just before you die, people see a white light and feel very euphoric. That's the kind of thing you're inducing.
1:05:15🔗AdamIsn't that the paramedic, though? There's a little flashlight seeing if your pupils are dilated.
1:05:20🔗DrewCould be, but it's the euphoria. When the brain oxygen is cut way down, people feel euphoric. That's why people have dry asphyxiation when they're orgasming and they try this kind of crap. It's not a safe thing.
1:05:32🔗CallerA while ago, you said something about when you urinate, you hold it in and then you can shoot it farther or something like that.
1:05:42🔗AdamIt's called brewing. I used to be able to urinate on a buddy from like at least 15 feet. Oh yeah.
1:05:51🔗DrewHow do you get to be the buddy? Behind your back though too, right? This is a real amazing thing. It was like a pimp going to the basket.
1:05:56🔗AdamWell, I was taking it to the hole so to speak. Truth be told, it's something people find bizarre, but it was really... One friend of mine figured out how to do it. He would actually sort of pinch the end of his penis off, and then right at the right second, he'd let it go, kind of like a garden hose. Now, the confusion is, is people think you pinch it like you put your thumb in front of a garden hose and have it go with a continuous stream. That's not the way it goes. You pinch it off completely, and then you sort of jerk your hips at the right time, and this guy would send a salvo of urine flying, and I'm not exaggerating at all because we have measured it before, 1920 feet. He'd hit this ceiling in the studio, which is about 11 feet, no problem. He used to pee on the bathroom ceiling at the school all the time. That's right. Chris. Well, I don't want to mess with you. Chris got it started, and all of us had-
1:06:51🔗AdamWell, it was Chris. Chris was the master, and it was sort of sink or swim, pardon the pun. Either we learned how to do it, or we just got decimated. I mean, you'd get killed.
1:07:00🔗DrewCould he like send out Morse code across the room?
1:07:04🔗AdamHe would do. I mean, these guys would sit in the passenger seat of the car, roll down the window, and shoot one over the car hood of the car that was parked next to them with the stoplight. I mean, it was really bizarre and amazing stuff, and so we all learned how to do it. But let me tell you, when you squared off with one of these guys, you duck, and it'd go over your head. I mean, it wasn't like the guy would hit you in the shin or something, and this was from 10, 12 feet away, it'd go flying over your head. So it was interesting, and we had some good times.
1:07:35🔗CallerI thought collecting baseball cards was fun.
1:07:37🔗AdamNo, no, until you've brood, you really haven't lived. Once in a while, someone would get it who we didn't even know. The teacher. That's a bad scene, but we're not gay. We're not gash.
1:08:27🔗CallerOh, when We Are came out on the radio up here in Santa Barbara, I bought the CD and it has never seen the inside of my house. Because it's always in my car. I have to play it all the time.
1:08:41🔗Vertical HorizonYou did? We got the memo and we wrote it up for you.
1:08:44🔗AdamJackie from Santa Barbara wants something to listen to when she tools around.
1:08:47🔗CallerYeah. I was supposed to go to your show with Stroke 9 and one of the lovely affiliates up here was supposed to give me tickets and they didn't give me the tickets. They ended up going themselves.
1:09:38🔗CallerOf course, my radio went out of tune when you were giving up the dates, and then all I heard was Los Angeles. I'm like, Oh man, I got to call and find out.
1:09:46🔗AdamThey're going to be here the 13th of next month, and they'll be at the House of Blues, which is a real good venue.
1:09:51🔗CallerOh my God. Have your first two albums. Are you guys going to do any songs from those?
1:09:55🔗CallerYeah, we'll do some old stuff too for sure. I don't know what songs we'll do, but we'll put some old stuff in there.
1:10:01🔗CallerI wanted to know why, Keith, how come you don't have more songs on this album? I mean, how come you don't sing more?
1:10:08🔗CallerBecause your shackles is like, ugh, it kills me. I mean, I love all of them, but that song just wrecks me.
1:10:17🔗CallerWell, thanks. I think Matt started out in an electric band, more of a rock band. I think when we started writing for this album, he sort of went back to his roots and was writing more rock songs. I had really just grown up writing sort of folk rock songs. So when we sat down with all our tunes, just Shackled seemed to be the only one that really fit with a lot of the ones that Matt was writing. So that's what we went with. But there are a lot of songs that we have still that we haven't recorded, and those may someday pop up. And now that I've been playing the electric and all that stuff, I've been working at writing more rock songs so you can expect more in the future.
1:11:00🔗CallerI love your voice and I love you guys. And Dr. Drew, I've been listening to you since I was in junior high. I actually have a tape of you and the poor man with the cast of Herman's Head.
1:11:08🔗DrewOh my God, that was a great show. I remember that. Oh yes, I do.
1:11:12🔗AdamAll right. Hey, Jackie. All right. So you come in the 13th and go to the House of Blues and see Vertical Horizon. Thanks a lot, Jackie. Thank you. All right. Take care of yourselves. Well, there you go. That was sweet.
1:12:39🔗AdamYeah, but Drew, we got to reestablish those ground rules because you're out of control.
1:12:43🔗CallerLooks like he's being spanked right now.
1:12:44🔗AdamUnacceptable. Thank you. Ed Toth is the drummer for Vertical Horizon. He has joined us. Keith has made his way out of here. I said, he's like, well, I guess Ed comes in and I guess I got to leave now. I said, no, no, no, Keith, just you can just hang out because my girlfriend wants me to leave.
1:13:12🔗CallerWell, I'm on orthotrycyclin, the pill, and I'm also on antibiotics because I had strep throat. Right. I know that antibiotics make the pill not work. That's what I heard.
1:13:26🔗DrewIt could potentially affect its performance. Yeah.
1:13:28🔗CallerOkay. Because I was using a condom on a Saturday night and it broke, so, you know, I was wondering if I took the morning after pill, if that would not work.
1:13:42🔗DrewWhen you're on the pill, you don't take the morning after pill. Yeah, but what if it's... Just hypothetically, what if you weren't on the pill and you wanted to take the morning after pill?
1:13:50🔗AdamNo, you're on the pill, but it's maybe rendered ineffective because of the antibiotics. Yeah.
1:13:55🔗DrewBut you're on the pill. When you're on the pill, morning after pill is not an option. Not an option.
1:14:02🔗AdamOkay. How long does an antibiotic stay in your system affects something like the pill?
1:14:09🔗DrewWell, the whole month is out basically.
1:14:10🔗AdamReally? Because you've... Okay, but as it pertains to the morning after pill...
1:14:16🔗DrewYeah, we don't know. I'm just thinking, I've read a lot of literature on it and nowhere was that addressed. I actually worked with the American Medical Women's Association. We did a bunch of promotion about this and we didn't talk about that. My suspicion is, you're looking for 99.99% efficacy from the oral contraceptive pill. So if it drops down to 98% because you're taking antibiotics, that's a big deal. But if you go from 75% to 73% effective in the morning after pill, people aren't going to make a big deal out of that. You should discuss with your doctor whether or not you should hold the antibiotics or not. You may be able just to hold them for that day that you take the pill, if it's appropriate, given whatever you're taking the antibiotics for. But you're not in that situation because the morning after pill won't do anything for you.
1:15:13🔗CallerYeah, I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half now and he still has not told me that he loves me and I wanted to know, you know, should I stay with him or, I mean, can I leave him? Because he won't say it to me and I don't...
1:15:48🔗DrewWhy would you go for a guy that's emotionally unavailable?
1:15:53🔗CallerWell, I mean, I think he acts like he loves me.
1:15:57🔗DrewWhy won't you go... Answer my question. What is it about your relationships, family relationships, that causes you to go after a guy who's not available emotionally?
1:16:14🔗CallerBut won't he ever say, I mean, if I wait, like, he might say it or something?
1:16:19🔗DrewWhy do you need to be with somebody who you have to try to win over, try to become available to you? Why can't you have a relationship with somebody who is available? Where did that come from?
1:17:40🔗CallerWhy did he leave? Well, they got divorced because my dad was having an affair.
1:17:44🔗AdamOh, all right. One more reason not to trust guys. Listen, Angel, we worry that you're hooking up with guys that aren't as giving as they could be.
1:18:21🔗AdamThere you go. You're done. Listen, guys, a lesson that's tough to learn, but I have learned it personally. Just say you love him. Just say it on the first date. For God's sake. It really doesn't... Guys, I remember. I mean, do you guys remember when you had your first girlfriend or your second girlfriend, maybe you're like 19 or 20, and there was that whole I love you thing, and you're like, but I'm not sure if I love you. Oh no, I never did that. But I don't want to say anything unless I do actually love him, but I got to search my soul to make sure that I love him. Now it's like, yeah, I love you, baby. Don't stop, I love you. I mean, I'm not saying you should lie, but here's the reality. Yeah, you may be in love with them, and then you may be in love with their sister six months from now. I mean, you'll be in love with a lot of people. Just say you love them.
1:19:06🔗CallerAt least he's got to come up with a better line than I know. You need a better line than that, kid.
1:19:13🔗DrewThis is one of the guys that three years from now, she'll come up when he starts beating the crap out of her. But he was perfect. I don't understand. How could this happen? He was the perfect guy.
1:19:41🔗AdamWhatever. Why is there a 13-year-old college around the house by now? All right. Well, you're old fashioned. I like that. Saving up for college or something. All right.
1:19:50🔗CallerWell, um, we've only been together for, like, a week and a half. And, um, like, he's... I really like him, but when it comes...
1:19:57🔗CallerHe's not a very good kisser, and I don't know how to bring it up.
1:20:00🔗CallerI don't want to make him feel self-conscious or embarrass him or anything. And I don't know how to, like, talk to him about it.
1:20:25🔗AdamI have a deviated septum, so I can't, it's hard for me to make out for prolonged periods of time without going up.
1:20:31🔗CallerI'm like a porpoise, you know, I gotta, I gotta make out for a while, and then it's like, It's kind of quaint now, there.
1:20:38🔗DrewIt's actually quaint that you're discussing it in the context of making out. Last time you brought that up, there was something else going on.
1:21:37🔗AdamAnd furthermore, kissing is one of the few things you actually have to sit down and discuss verbally. You can begin kissing and then you can subtly guide him along the way. And as you get older and into other forms of debauchery, you can also use that same technique. People will let you know where you're at physically by their cadence and the pressure they put on you and a million other little indicators. And he's nervous and he's 14 and he's never been with a woman before. And so his heart's beaten like a rabbit's and he's lost a little control. But Gio, you just guide him. And if you want to work it out verbally, fine. But I would start by just trying to actually guide him. You do the kissing.
1:22:24🔗CallerI try to do it for like, he doesn't open his mouth enough.
1:22:28🔗CallerI can't do anything, you know? You give us a quick text and I want to do more than that, but you just...
1:22:49🔗DrewYou have no patience for that, do you?
1:22:52🔗AdamI think it's nice. I just don't, I don't consider it a real problem. But you know the reality, you know it's funny. I'd love to see this guy, he's 14, we're hearing this question. I'd love to fast forward 10 years. He's got some Vietnamese hooker down on all fours, a handful of hairs. Who's papa son? Come on, baby.
1:23:23🔗AdamI'd love to hear this playing in the background over the video of him, like I said, banging away. That'd be great. We'll take ourselves a break. We'll be back.
1:23:36🔗CallerLoveline, the Adam Carolla, and Dr. Drew will be right back before you know it.
1:24:14🔗AdamAll right. It is Loveline. The Bossstones are going to be here tomorrow night. At least, digging from the Bossstones will be in there. That's Drew Sneeze in the background. We got Ed, Matt, and Sean all here from Vertical Horizon. Great guys. We're glad we met them. They played live. They sounded great. And hey, guys, I'd like to come back on the show.
1:24:46🔗AdamThey got something called like a sex court or something. Every once in a while, Playboy tries to launch a new show, which is basically an excuse for chicks to just get naked and mince around. But it's under the guise of, well, this is a judge whopper meets a guy with a whopper or something. You know what I mean? Listen, fellas, I don't want to offend any of you folks, but the sound isn't even up. Just get the chicks naked and have them mince about. Because what part of the sex court are you waiting on? It's the part when the verdict is delivered and Rusty, the bailiff, goes in there with their pants around her ankles. That's what you're waiting. Just do it. Just call a spade a spade. Let's do it. It's Playboy.
1:26:12🔗AdamYeah, and maybe you just didn't agree with her.
1:26:15🔗DrewNo, no, I bet you just freaked out about what she's doing. I hear about that one so I want to get really intensely emotional.
1:26:22🔗AdamFor me, the women just say they take like a four hour bath and they scrub themselves raw with a loofah. It's like a set of after someone.
1:26:29🔗DrewThey bar it too, they just forgot about that part.
1:26:31🔗AdamAfter the woman gets raped in the movie and she's at home. Oh man. More of that feeling. Women, that's ex-girlfriends of mine, but can't get clean, that feeling. So Jose, listen to me. You're Catholic, right? Yeah. Yeah. What's it say about getting blown at 12? Is there anything in the Bible about that? No. Okay. I just want to know if there's a chapter there. Maybe the pages are stuck together. Look into that. Jose, here's what I'm worried about, because I worry about you Catholics. I really do. You're going to get this chick knocked up. I mean, if you're doing this at 12, 14 is sort of outside. I mean, two years from now, I mean, you're going to get her pregnant in the next eight months. You're going to give birth to someone who's older than you are, Jose. You understand?
1:27:21🔗CallerYeah. That's one thing I was like, wondering like, can she get pregnant by falling?
1:27:26🔗DrewNo. But insofar as you continue to believe that, don't engage in any sexual activity, okay?
1:27:33🔗AdamI mean, when are you going to have sex?
1:27:39🔗AdamAll right. Okay. So here's the question. Here's the answer. Jose? Yeah. Slow down, buddy. You're moving too fast, brother.
1:27:46🔗DrewUntil you understand how all the parts work and what they're there for and how that operates and how to prevent things from going to pregnancy.
1:28:13🔗AdamLooking out for cooties. I would wet my pants like every other day. Are you kidding? Blowjob at 12? I wouldn't know what to do. Oh, my God. Okay.
1:28:56🔗CallerYou're welcome. My problem was that I'm really kind of stressed out. I was learning if there's like any methods I could be less stressed out.
1:30:03🔗DrewYou gotta figure out a way to create more balance in your life. Certain things you have to give up. You have to be realistic. You can't be perfect in all spheres all the time.
1:30:12🔗CallerI'm not really a perfectionist, though.
1:30:14🔗AdamYeah, you are. You get a straight A's, you're in all those clubs.
1:30:17🔗DrewNot a perfectionist in the sense that everything has to be in exactly its place, but perfection in terms of what you're expected to be for other people.
1:30:26🔗DrewThat's perfect. You have to admit what your limitations are. You have to let certain things go, and you have to create balance in other ways in your life. Have time, quiet time, have time for exercise, have time for friends. You've got to have that time, or this race you're on is going to be cut short. You're not going to be a future business leader. You're going to be a future business leader.
1:30:45🔗CallerWell, I actually don't even plan to be in business.
1:30:47🔗CallerI don't even plan to be in business.
1:30:48🔗DrewWould have been a future leader in any field.
1:30:51🔗AdamWell, why don't you get out of that crappy club? I mean, you're the president of the Future Business Association. You don't plan on having your own business.
1:30:59🔗CallerNo. I know that business skills are very essential for various things in life.
1:31:03🔗AdamYeah. But let me tell you what skills are essential in life. Life skills. You know what I mean? I mean, it's good to learn a few things, but also, quiet down over there. You got to experience a lot of things. You'll turn out like Drew. Mr. Roboto over there. You ask him what he wants for dinner, he has to open up a textbook, thumb through, get to the right chapter. That's right. Look at him. Wooden like a cigar store Indian over there. No soul. No soul. He's the devil.
1:31:49🔗AdamNo, you don't. You don't even want to be in business for yourself. No, no, no.
1:31:54🔗CallerBut I'm not even too sure what career I want to be in.
1:31:57🔗AdamThat's fine. Good. I thought I was going to be a pirate when I was 17. You understand? I was like, I sat down with my guidance counselor. I said, listen, I said, here are my options, pirate, astronaut.
1:33:02🔗AdamAre you in a Fred McMurray's car from a son of Flubber or are you in a car that was made post World War II? What the hell is going on? You got to get those tires balanced, buddy.
1:33:22🔗AdamWhat kind of car is that? I want to know.
1:33:24🔗DrewI've got a bad connection on the cell phone here.
1:33:27🔗AdamOh, okay. All right. So, I'm reading your question. You want to know anal sex? You want anal sex, but your wife says it hurts too much. Ouch!
1:34:08🔗AdamWell, I don't have a big penis, so it's like, what I do is I go, hey, how about some butt love? And they're like, no, no, no. And I go, hey, look. And they go, oh, all right, all right. I can see that. Let me know when it's over.
1:34:39🔗CallerLove Line, LeBanachrol and Dr. Drew will be right back before you know it.
1:35:17🔗AdamAll right. Well, there you go. That is it. Everyone go out and get that Vertical Horizon CD, Everything You Want. You guys sounded great. It was a pleasure meeting you, and we appreciate you coming in. Thanks for having us.
1:35:30🔗AdamWe expect plenty of big things from the band and that you guys will be around for a long time. So please come back and visit Drew, because I'm not going to be here. All right. So, diggy from the Boston's, everyone. Tomorrow night and until next time, this is Dr. Drew saying mahalo.
1:35:47🔗DrewI'm homosexual. I'm freaked out about it. I'm trying to be heterosexual, but I have this overwhelming homosexual feeling.
