11:44🔗VoiceoverYep, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191, fax number 310-854-4455. Dr. Drew is a board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Tonight, our guest, Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas is here and Adam Gainer both here from the band. Drew, when do you think the band was in here last?
12:06🔗Matchbox TwentyTwo years. Two years? A week ago. About a week.
12:49🔗DrewWe missed them because they're gone. They don't come back.
12:52🔗AdamWell, all right, so it's a little bit of a launching pan. Loveline, but Matchbox Twenty has taken a little time out of their meteoric rise to swing by and grace us with their presence, maybe for the last time. They're going to head out to Europe, so a lot of you want to start making reservations and following the band. No, actually, they're going to be out in LA, the Will Turn Theater on the 6th of June. So when is that? It's like day after tomorrow. Will Turn, have you guys played the Will Turn?
13:24🔗No, this is our club tour. It's funny because most of the other shows are like clubs that we visited when we first started, you know, right before theaters, maybe a thousand seats they would hold and we couldn't even fill it. And now we're going back and doing those clubs again, but this is one of the ones that we've never even been in.
13:38🔗Matchbox TwentyCheck it out, I found out they haven't had a concert there in nine years.
13:42🔗Matchbox TwentyI swear, that's what our advance guy says. They have not had a music show, like a rock show in nine years there. Am I wrong? Is that wrong?
13:50🔗AdamYeah, it's because Gallagher booked the place for the last eight and a half years, and then Helly Mandel.
13:59🔗AdamWell, no, it's a great old art deco place, which coincidentally is on the corner of Wiltshire and Western, and I think that's where the Will Turn came in.
14:09🔗That makes sense. I've been telling people about it, and they have no clue where it is.
14:30🔗AdamYeah, I'm sure Fiona hand picked Gallagher to open for. That's great.
14:35🔗Matchbox TwentyI saw the Magic Show on Broadway, by the way, with Doug Henning in the 70s.
14:39🔗AdamI almost killed Drew and my co-host Catherine McCord on the TV show one day last season, about six months ago, where I started talking about Doug Henning. And Drew gave me that snake eyes look that he always does. And I said, Drew, Doug Henning. I was saying something funny. I was making a funny Doug Henning reference. And Drew had to look like, huh? And I said, Drew, you don't know Doug Henning? And he said, no, I never heard the name. And I went, that is how I'm going to be my wife.
15:06🔗I'm like, and then I wind up becoming like an idiot.
15:11🔗AdamAnd you want to know what's worse. Then I looked to my right. I see Catherine McCord sitting there. I go, he doesn't know who Doug Henning. And I'm realizing halfway into the he doesn't know Doug Henning look. Now it's two against one. And that's it.
15:23🔗Matchbox TwentyHe's brilliant. That's why a lot of people don't recognize his brilliance.
15:26🔗His brilliance was over it was overshadowed by his clothing.
15:28🔗DrewI was going to say it was the way he dressed.
15:30🔗AdamYes, he's really he's here. But his flares overshadowed his brilliance.
15:48🔗AdamAll right. So if you even if you weren't interested in Doug Henning as a musician or a man, and I knew him as a man. Oh, yes. You can go down to the Wiltern Theatre on Wilshire and Western and see the fabulous Matchbox Twenty coming up this Tuesday. And then if you're in San Francisco, magic, you can see him on Wednesday. And we're going to hear something off the new CD, Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty and just a couple of few. But I guess we'll hop on the phones first. Yeah, Debbie? You're 29. What's up?
16:26🔗I just want to tell you guys you're awesome.
16:27🔗CallerOh, thank you. So many times live. You are fantastic live. My question, actually, I have two.
16:35🔗First question is, what are you guys looking forward to most being back out on the road? And second, Rob, do you still have the Q card from Boston?
16:44🔗CallerI want to say thank you for the Q card. There's people like on this club tour, you know, it's just a certain limited run. And so people come to a lot of the shows. And two shows in a row, for one song Back to Good, I forgot the lyrics on the second verse. And so the third show, it almost happened again because I was so conscious of it that when it came up again, I blanked and they held up this Q card for the lyrics so I could read them. So yes, I do still have the Q cards and thank you very much.
17:07🔗AdamWhen you're singing a song, if you stop and think about the lyrics, aren't you screwed?
17:13🔗AdamIt's all over. It's like chewing while you're stoned. If you think, where's my tongue? You'll bite it immediately. You ever do that, Drew? You get really baked and you're eating.
17:24🔗AdamAnd you think, hey, I wonder where my tongue is and why it's not in between my teeth while I'm chewing and then you bite it on the next one.
17:30🔗CallerYeah, Adam, it's the exact same thing.
17:31🔗AdamSame thing? Well, I just mean like, I think like a song, you know it's like in your muscle fiber and if you stop to think what's the lyric or what's around the next corner, you'll fumble.
17:42🔗CallerYou work so hard at like, the whole thing about getting a show and getting it together is that you work enough so that you as a band can play it without thinking about it so that you can just have a good time and then it really comes through. And so once you get to that point, then when you start thinking about it, you know, you're like digressing your whole thought process and you go back and then it's over.
17:57🔗DrewYeah, coming back right on the other side.
17:58🔗AdamIt's what happens with the erectile difficulties to the callers on the show.
18:02🔗CallerIt's exactly the same thing. It's exactly the same thing. I mean, I wouldn't know about that, but it's the exact same thing.
18:08🔗AdamThe problem is, no one can have a cue card that says keep the boner on the foot of the bed.
18:13🔗DrewIt's going to help you. It just has, hey, Vern's face.
18:15🔗AdamThat's right. Yeah, good times there. What name is that? Hadasha?
18:39🔗Matchbox TwentyYeah, I knew it. I was really not getting too excited. I was wondering because she was 16, so I thought, oh, you know, that's just really wrong. I'm sorry.
19:12🔗CallerYeah, I've had sex five times. And today? Every time I have sex, it feels like I break my hymen again. I bleed and everything.
19:25🔗DrewWell, there is such a thing as a partial rupture, but more commonly, I would think it would be just the kind of discomfort that you might be going through just because of anxiety. You know what I mean? Are you nervous about the pain? Are you nervous about the act?
21:04🔗CallerAnd so when I got into high school, I happened to be like really like pretty and everything. And plus the fact I'm black. So, you know, the white guys, they just love that.
21:15🔗AdamThey do? Oh, yeah. Wow. All right. Good. We do. Martin Luther King would be happy to hear that.
21:23🔗DrewWell, look, the reason that you are in an hour with older guys is not because you're so intellectually advanced. Okay.
21:33🔗CallerI think it's just I look older than I am now.
21:36🔗AdamWhere's your dad? Did he abandon the family?
22:33🔗CallerUh, I have no idea. I had relationships with two older guys, but...
22:38🔗CallerYou know, I think the thing is, in all seriousness, is that you really should just have, I mean, just a little, some respect for yourself. I mean, you're a special person and you should not, you shouldn't subject yourself to this until it's something that you want to do. Find someone that you relate to on a personal level. Find someone on an emotional level that you get along with. And then, have sex that means something, have something that's going to be special. And I don't think it's going to be that way for you if you do that.
23:05🔗DrewHadasha, I've got some reading for you. You're smart. You read for me? Okay. It's called Dreams of Love and Fateful Encounters.
23:14🔗DrewDreams of Love and Fateful Encounters, Amazon, any of those, you know, Barnes and Noble, whatever, Dreams of Love and Fateful Encounters by a woman by the name of Person, P-E-R-S-O-N.
23:24🔗AdamGod forbid you ever recommend our goddamn book. Hey, Hadasha, I haven't read many books. The one that I have read that I like to recommend is called The Phantom Tollbooth. Okay? That's the only book I've read.
23:36🔗DrewWhy don't you recommend our book, since we haven't discussed it in two years on the radio?
23:40🔗AdamYou guys got a book? You know we have low self-esteem. We sit here and recommend other people's books and don't bring ours up, although I guess in a roundabout way, I just did.
23:48🔗DrewPart of the reason I don't bring our book up is I'm embarrassed by the title.
24:50🔗AdamThis year in the Man Show, we have two new Juggie dancers and they're twins from Kentucky, these great-looking blondes, Julie and Shani. They went to a Kentucky university, not a big one, not University of Kentucky, but a small private school on a basketball scholarship. I was drunk one night talking to them at the El Ray Theater, as a matter of fact, and they were telling me that they were 48 percent from the three-point range and that one of them had a 34-point game in college and the other had a 28-point game, and the other one was second in the nation from three-points. Wow. Ville and all that kind of stuff, and I was thinking, we should play you guys in basketball, me and Jimmy, against the two Kentucky twins. They're super hot blondes. Strong. And they're good, right? They're going to kill you. And then I thought, now what's going to make this good? And I thought, strip basketball. There you go.
25:47🔗CallerSo you guys are going to be naked on TV soon.
25:50🔗AdamThere's a very realistic possibility, but I got to tell you, I have no idea what to expect.
25:57🔗AdamI'm doing it tomorrow morning and I just pray to God I'm not in a pair of hi-tops and a Jugg strap. You're nervous, right? Well, it's like, on one hand, they're chicks, so I think I can handle them.
26:41🔗AdamIt's a full game. It's two on two. Well, we've worked it out. Yeah, it's two 11 and we've worked out the articles of clothing so that obviously winner take all.
27:01🔗AdamYeah. So I may be playing like the fourth quarter and just a jockstrap or something. You know, the only thing more humiliating about being nude is doing something athletic while you're nude and wearing high tops.
27:14🔗Matchbox TwentyThose things are going to be flapping around pretty good.
27:16🔗AdamI'm going to have to duct tape them to my leg or something. Our executive producer, Daniel Kelsen, has already got 500 on the twins, by the way. There's a lot of money going around the office and Jimmy and I never play. Well, it'll air on the Man Show, but however it comes out, it's coming out. And that's tomorrow at 8.
27:34🔗CallerSo to the boy with no pubic hair, you think you got problems, don't worry about it.
27:37🔗AdamYeah. I may have a lot this time tomorrow. Liz?
27:57🔗AdamI know you've answered this 5,000 times. I was thinking on the ride here. I'm not going to ask any Santana questions, but I'm asking for myself. I don't know. Did he contact you? How did that? I know you've told it a thousand times.
28:09🔗CallerAnd you know what? I've got it down to the super condensed version. Good. I got a call actually just that I was living in New York. There was a guy that lived two blocks from me named Etal who was working on a track for the new Santana record. It was the last song that was going to be put on the record. They wanted to know if I wanted to come and write it with him because he didn't have any lyrics or any melody and he couldn't finish the song. And so I went over and we put it together and that was supposed to be it for me. And then about two weeks later, I got a call from the management asking if I wanted to sing it because originally they didn't know who was going to sing it. He sang on the demo. So I got a call like a week later that said, Hey, do you want to sing this song? It was actually a great compliment. They said that Carlos listened to the demo and was like, they were going back and forth and they were like, What about this guy, this guy? And they said, and Carlos just looked at the tape player and he's like, What about this guy? He's like, he never heard of Matchbox when he had no clue who the hell we were.
28:53🔗AdamWell, he's pretty stoned. He's so into that Santeria, who's got time? I mean, how cool is that? And why wouldn't he sing it?
29:20🔗CallerThe big thing is, no one knows who sang Black Magic Woman for the most part, which, you know, I mean, the whole thing with this record, it was a Carlos record, you know, and in the end, it'll...
29:28🔗Matchbox TwentyIt's like Gang Van Malmsteen, just Latin.
29:31🔗AdamI thought he... I always thought he sung.
29:42🔗Matchbox TwentyThe Hanson guy is going in there and doing the tracks.
29:43🔗CallerThat's a tribute to him. I mean, he plays the hell out of the guitar. That's why he's such a legend now, because, you know, that's what it takes.
30:51🔗CallerYeah. But should I have an abortion or should I have the kid and give it up for adoption?
30:58🔗DrewI think it's courageous to put yourself out for nine months in order to save some, well, to allow somebody else a chance at life and give them up through adoption. There are tons of parents out there would love to have a nice kid.
31:13🔗AdamYeah. Hey, Liz? Yeah. Is your mom married to your dad still? They're separated. I see. Are you the youngest? Do you have a few brothers and sisters? Yeah. They're all out of the house?
31:45🔗CallerThrough the entire pregnancy to get her ready for what she's about to do.
31:47🔗DrewShe sounds great and she sounds ready for that kind of thing.
31:50🔗Matchbox TwentyCan I add something? Even though it's your decision, Liz, I would sit down and talk to your mom and see why she wants to have the baby. Maybe you can learn something about her.
32:14🔗AdamI'm the black sheep of the family now because I have a job and make money. They're so ashamed of me. I've become anyone in my family, anyone who makes more than 28 grand a year becomes the man and shouldn't be trusted. That's how I grew up. I grew up like all people that have jobs are evil. Guys who wear suits are evil and anyone who produces anything, certainly anyone who employs more than like 20 people, evil.
32:40🔗CallerBut I still think some with the guys in the suits, they could be on to something though.
32:45🔗AdamYeah. A small percentage of the people they call the man are actually still the man. Heidi?
32:52🔗DrewHey, boy, let me give her a phone number, please. Hang on. I've got two numbers. One is a Planned Parenthood number, 800-230-PLAN. And we got another family planning number, 800-942-1054.
33:05🔗AdamAll right. But you can just call information and get family planning and talk to them.
33:11🔗AdamWhat Rob was asking, which was interesting, is if you know you're going to give your child up for adoption and you know you got about seven months before D-Day, should you be working with someone constantly in that seven months?
33:25🔗DrewNot constantly, but you should be definitely supported through the entire process.
33:29🔗CallerThere's two things you're dealing with. You're dealing with the fact that you're going to have a child at 15, which is enough to really mess up anyone like her mother, perhaps. Then you're dealing with the fact that you're going to have to carry this baby and then give it away, which you think you're ready for, but then when that happens, man, I don't know if you could be. It's a miracle.
33:45🔗AdamIt can be very tough. When I'm in charge, I'm going to have the time from nine months shaved down to six months so people don't get so attached. It's going to be one of the platforms I run on, Drew. What do you think?
34:10🔗AdamIt's been nine. Yeah. Ass or get off the pot is basically what it's going to be. Well, look at it this way. It's been nine months for how long? A billion years? Yeah. You know, if guys got pregnant, we'd have that trimmed down about three weeks by now.
34:46🔗AdamAll right. Fantastic. We'll also hear something off the new CD as well. What do you say? Hang on there, Heidi.
34:52🔗DrewShe actually has a question about the song we're going to play.
34:55🔗AdamFantastic. We'll be back with Matchbox Twenty, Heidi, you, me, Drew, everyone after this. Loveline. Be right back. Not since Tusk if I heard a band work in unison with a rock and roll band like that.
36:02🔗AdamGod, do I need a raise working with you?
36:06🔗DrewIs that what they called when the band and Fleetwood Mac were together?
36:10🔗AdamWell, Tusk was the name of the song. You know what it's like working with Drew? Remember those episodes of Bewitched when she'd bring back Benjamin Franklin, and he'd walk around the house all big-eyed? What is this box with images in it? That's called a television set. Do tell. The phone would ring and he'd give a startled look. Why is she talking into that box? That's what it's like working with Drew, minus the powdered wig.
36:41🔗DrewBut, Adam, there was so much comedy potential that they put it on a sitcom. So come on now.
36:46🔗Matchbox TwentyAnd he knows medicine, which is really important to a lot of my job.
36:57🔗AdamAll right. That is David Allen and Graham. All right. Let's say hi to Heidi, and then we'll hear the new song entitled Tusk. You can see them performing it down at the Will-Turn Theatre. Yeah, right?
37:10🔗CallerOkay. We were terribly wrong about that, and I'll take all the blame for it. It's not the Will-Turn Theatre at all, even though I'm sure it's a lovely theatre. It's the Wilshire Ebell Theatre. The Wilshire Ebell Theatre that we'll be at. I'm sure that there's some nice people at the Will-Turn Theatre, but it's not us.
37:23🔗DrewIs that word Kevin of Bean? Wait a minute.
37:25🔗AdamAll right. I don't know, Drew, but don't go down that road.
37:29🔗CallerLet's not take it too far, because the next break, it could be a different theatre.
39:32🔗CallerYou know, it was funny. The song itself, what we thought had a kind of an uplifting tone to it. And we wanted to have that to be the video as just the idea of you keep getting knocked down and no matter what life throws you, you keep getting back up. And then there was the underline of the idea that we had been right before we made the video, there had been so many people after the Santana thing talking about if our band was mad at me or if they were jealous or if they had problems with the fact that, you know, the Grammys and everything going on, that we thought it would be really funny if in the video we had our band beating me up. And so originally the original plan for it and the original script for the video had Adam or Kyle beating me with a Grammy. And actually the Grammys wouldn't let us do it. They said you're not allowed to use that likeness of the Grammy and beating somebody over the head with it. So they said no go. But originally that was it. So we used those two things.
40:18🔗AdamIt's always great to, you call, I know how this works from the mansion, you call the police and you go, yeah, we'd like the clearance to use the Grammy for a comedy bit we're doing. And they go, yeah, that's great. Just fax us over a script of what you'll be doing with the Grammy. And you go, we don't have to fax a script. We're just going to be sort of showcasing it. Oh, that's great. We appreciate that. Just fax it over because the script says Grammy gets rammed up ass of monkey. You know, so you go, listen, I could fax over a script, but why kill a tree? We just wanted you to sign off on this because it's just in good fun. And they go, fine, just fax over.
40:58🔗CallerAnd we could lose the monkey. Doesn't have to be a monkey.
41:01🔗AdamYeah, and then you go, okay, read the script, but put it in context. Yeah, that's what the...
41:06🔗Matchbox TwentyWe're using a Yorkshire terrier.
41:48🔗CallerOkay. I have a bisexual girlfriend, and I'm bisexual, and she has a strap on, and she wants to have anal sex with me with that. I think, I'm afraid it's going to hurt.
41:58🔗AdamYeah. Here's what I'd do. I would strap on an anus and let her go to town.
42:03🔗CallerI think that you should buy a variant degrees in size of strap-ons, and just start with a really tiny one, and then work your way up.
42:09🔗AdamYeah, like those Russian dolls, those wooden walls that-
42:12🔗CallerYou can get the Tycho Starter anal kit, that'll get, you know, like it's from, like, Swamp Co or something. Yeah, Play School. It's plastic.
42:19🔗AdamYeah, Little Slut, Junior Starter kit is called. Right.
42:25🔗AdamAnal buddy. Yeah. Right. There's a bunch of different names, but they all make one. You start with that, and then you move your way up to one of those big novel sites.
42:32🔗CallerAre you intrigued by this, or are you disgusted by it, or are you thinking about it? Sounds like she's thinking about it, too.
42:37🔗CallerI'm thinking, but I'm kind of disgusted, actually.
42:39🔗DrewWhy would you do it, or why would you even consider doing it if it's not something you want to do?
42:42🔗CallerI'm not really considering it, but I was thinking about it, and I was thinking about all the problems. Would I not be able to hold it in if I had to go to the bathroom or something, if this happened?
42:51🔗DrewNo, that's not usually what comes of all this.
42:58🔗CallerYou know, in all seriousness, it sounds funny, but it's not. It's a common practice, so that's not a problem, or else people would just be running around holding their asses all day.
43:05🔗DrewWell, it's not particularly healthy. You can cause fissures and terrors and hemorrhoids and things, but to lead to incontinence, the inability to control all that, not that likely, not that likely.
43:17🔗Matchbox TwentyHey, does she want you to do it to her, by the way? I'm just curious about that.
43:20🔗CallerNo, she just gets turned on by it, like just the idea of her doing it to me.
43:24🔗Matchbox TwentyYeah, but why don't you just bend her over for a couple minutes and see if she's digging it?
43:28🔗CallerI don't really want to have butt sex with anybody.
43:30🔗DrewBy the way, for all young ladies who, men are pressuring them to do this, their Adam has just come up with a perfect comeback.
44:21🔗Matchbox TwentySomebody gave me some cigars.
44:21🔗CallerDo you think that that's responsible for why I smoke? When I was eight years old, I used to chew those candy cigarettes, and now I smoke like a fiend.
44:42🔗AdamWe're going to hear something from Matchbox Twenty right now. This is off of, what the hell is the name? Ah, yes, Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty, and this one is called Bent.
49:05🔗CallerWe'll be right back with more Loveline.
49:35🔗Matchbox TwentyRecognition is the first step.
49:36🔗AdamIt's Loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Rob Thomas is doing this trick where he takes his beer and he puts it through his nose. And Adam Gaynor.
49:50🔗AdamRight, Matchbox Twenty. And we were just talking off the air because Adam's on his fifth Melon wine cooler. And we were talking off the air about the, about the, Metallica likes the breezers. The yummy phase is something that I've.
50:05🔗Matchbox TwentyI wanted to learn more about this. If I'm going through it, I need to know what the yummy phase.
50:09🔗AdamWell, it's not that you go through it, it's you never get out of it.
50:12🔗AdamAnd here's my, here's my theory on this because I know a couple of guys like this. Every, everybody starts off in the yummy phase. I mean, Drew, you have a couple of seven, three seven-year-olds, right?
50:32🔗AdamRight, and everyone goes through that. And then it stays with you for a while. And then somewhere around, I don't know, 13, 14, you start getting into like a steak and maybe some stew and some stuff, a vegetable, you pick a vegetable or two, but it's not liver and it's not mushrooms or anything. It's maybe a little broccoli or asparagus or something. But then as you get older, especially for men, and men do this, they start getting into brandy and they start getting into beer and then eventually it can spin out into like monkey brains and stuff like that.
51:07🔗CallerThey've lost the pretense that they like to drink. Like it used to, you know, you could, well I like this, but now it's just like, screw it, I just want to get drunk, I'll just take whatever it takes, but just get quick.
51:14🔗DrewSome of it's a biological change, I think.
51:22🔗Matchbox TwentyI was just drinking it. I was, you understand what that is? I'm a nice Jewish boy, and it's the stuff you drink at like Passover. And I was like, man, I went out and I bought a bottle of it for the house, man. I'm 30 years old, I got problems.
51:35🔗AdamYeah, because Manashevitz really is, it's a Jewish wine cooler.
51:51🔗AdamYes. So my yummy face theory goes that you start to progress, and usually about 19 or 20 or something like that, you start getting into maybe tobacco, cigars, chewing tobacco, cigarettes, hookers. You start getting into beer, and you start getting into eating punta. You know what I'm saying? These are all things that are-
52:15🔗AdamThat ain't the yummy face. That's after the yummy face.
52:18🔗Matchbox TwentyThat's pre-yummy face, or post.
52:19🔗AdamYeah, you took one of Drew's triplets and told him to go down on a hooker. They'd be like, no way, unless you put some puddin down there. It would be a good training-
52:30🔗AdamIt would be a good training device for you. But a lot of guys, not a lot of guys, but some guys I've met, they just stay in the yummy face and they never get out. It's wine coolers and pixie sticks for the rest of their lives.
53:00🔗CallerI just chew on the beans and therefore I'm here with the beer. Yeah.
53:03🔗AdamYou're nowhere near the yummy. Yeah. To me, I'm trying to think, but when you start getting into some serious raw fish, caviar, that kind of stuff, you're way out of the yummy. Like if you have some brandy, smoke a cigar, and eat some caviar, you're way out of the yummy face.
54:41🔗Matchbox TwentyWell, there you go, baby. It's a good thing, I think. I mean, you know, maybe one day you'll get a grasp and you'll get bored of them and you'll stop crying. But I think right now you should enjoy it.
54:47🔗CallerI always, you know, I always, it always seems like, like, if you really intensely hate someone, if you really intensely love someone, the difference between those two emotions is really scarce. Like everything that comes with those emotions, the heatedness, the loss of being able to think straight, like all that is the same and then there's that one little component that makes it different, you know? And so it would be the same way, like this is such an intense emotion that it would cause you to do something like that because it's this release and this unloading.
55:33🔗CallerAdam, I love you from Matchbox Twenty.
55:36🔗Matchbox TwentyYou know, this is why I stayed here this long, by the way. It was really close to leaving. I'm having another wine cooler just for you.
55:43🔗CallerThank you. I was wondering, Mercedes, you had the twenty with like two zero.
56:02🔗CallerAnd it really wasn't at all, right? But we didn't change our name. We did it on our record. We spelled it out. We don't care how people write it. It was in Entertainment Weekly that we were the loser of the week, because I made a joke that we were sick of being compared to bands like Blink 182 and Eiffel 65, which I thought was an obvious joke, but sarcasm in print doesn't translate ever. It just came out, and people thought that we were way too precious for our own good. The truth was, we didn't change our name. We just wrote it differently on our record.
56:28🔗Matchbox TwentyYou can call us the VervePipe.
56:30🔗CallerYeah, it doesn't matter. You can call us Tonica.
56:31🔗Matchbox TwentyWhatever you want. It's fine. It was just something that we wanted to have it written out, and we thought it was a cool, fun little idea. It was just kind of, we like to see it, and we had to put out a press release. That's how it works in this business.
56:41🔗CallerIt was in no way supposed to be noteworthy.
57:49🔗CallerWe don't drink anymore, which is a funny thing. I just lost 40 pounds because I stopped being a drunkard and I was drinking a lot. I don't even need to say you look good by the way. I stopped drinking after every show and I stopped having it. And it was a funny thing. It was a conscious decision. We were coming here and the other times we've been here, we always brought the beer.
58:19🔗AdamAll right. That is it. Matchbox Twenty just came in for the first hour. But you know, we'll play another song off the CD anyway. We like you that much. And we do really appreciate you guys coming by. And it's so nice to see, and Drew and I know you'll back me up on these, how nice the guys are, how little success has changed them.
58:41🔗AdamThanks for coming in guys. We do appreciate it and we'll be right back after this. Yep, it is a love line. I'm Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew over there.
59:47🔗AdamAnd off the air, too. Just friendly as hell.
59:50🔗DrewWe didn't get a chance to talk about it with the guys, but Rob was telling me, as I walked in here tonight, I said, oh, the tour must be exhausting. He goes, hey, look, I was doing construction four years ago. This is a dream come true. What are you talking about?
1:00:21🔗DrewI went to those MTV Movie Awards last night.
1:00:23🔗AdamOh, yeah. I was going to ask you about that. Drew went to the MTV Movie Awards, which will air on MTV, I guess, on Thursday, this coming Thursday.
1:01:21🔗AdamHere's the deal. Usually, we go to these movie awards or any awards put on by MTV, and we sit in the back of the bleachers, and we have trouble getting in, and they tell us not to walk down the red carpet, and we can't get laminates, and we're not allowed backstage. It's really as if we just-
1:01:40🔗AdamOkay, you had good seats. But you didn't get your laminates or anything, did you? And you couldn't get backstage or anything like that. And did you- MTV's great. They don't give their talent laminates to get backstage, yet I'll see every one of those mother f-ing publicists running back and forth backstage all night. One- next time I go to MTV Awards ceremony, I'm going to charge the backstage area so that I can be tackled by security and dragged out of the place.
1:02:10🔗DrewThis year is particularly poignant because I walk up to the backstage area and the security guards are, Drew, I love your show, come on back. Three barriers worth of security guards until I get to the MTV area, and it's, hey, out of here, you're never gonna have a laminate.
1:02:34🔗AdamLongest running failure on MTV. It's the longest running day in, day out show, a five day a week show that they've ever had, but yet, you still ain't getting backstage for that.
1:02:44🔗DrewLook, great seats, it was a nice show.
1:02:46🔗DrewI recommend the show, it's a fun show.
1:02:47🔗AdamDid you go to the party afterward? No. You couldn't get in. Oh, yeah. Well, there wasn't a party for you. No, there was a party for the celebrities. They didn't tell you about that one, did they? Where was it?
1:02:59🔗DrewIt was on the lot at Sony, right down the street here. It was cool.
1:03:14🔗DrewYeah, I had to get home, wanted to get some dinner and get to bed.
1:03:16🔗AdamI understand. Kim, you're 21, what's up?
1:03:19🔗CallerYeah, I have a question about medication I'm on. All right. I'm on Celexa. It's a new antidepressant. And I was just wondering if that is a bad sign that I can't orgasm anymore.
1:03:33🔗DrewNo, it's not a bad sign. It's a typical sign. Celexa, if you're taking 20 milligrams, is a milder antidepressant and as such has lesser of those side effects. Are you taking 20?
1:03:43🔗DrewAnd so the fact that you get that with Celexa means you'll probably get it with all the serotonin reuptake inhibitors, so the Zolofts and the Prozax and et cetera, except maybe serozone. You might talk to a doctor about serozone or wellbutrin, which are slightly different classes. And they don't affect sexual functioning the way the other ones do.
1:04:03🔗CallerOkay. Since I've been shaving my pubic area, me and my boyfriend haven't been having sex as much, and I think it's not pleasing him as much, but he still asks me to shave.
1:04:14🔗DrewThat's bizarre. What makes you think that it's... I'm not following your logic all the way.
1:05:29🔗AdamShopping or during school hours. I see. So not all the time? Not all the time. Okay. Yeah. For instance, like when you guys were driving, he wouldn't be in you? No. Right. Okay. But quite a bit though, right? Not all the time, but a lot?
1:05:47🔗AdamRight. Like when you're eating, like let's say Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving or something, he wouldn't be in you at the dinner table? No. No. Okay. Hold on. Let me write this down. Okay. So not all the time, but quite a bit?
1:06:00🔗AdamYeah. How many times a week would you say?
1:06:04🔗CallerProbably about three times a week. Well, in a five-day week, not Saturday and Sunday, yes.
1:06:11🔗AdamHold on a second. Hold on a second. Would you write that one down, please? Write it down when we... You know how I constantly try to come up with concrete examples about how stupid our callers are, and how confusing they are, and how combative they are?
1:06:28🔗AdamI have to ring their goddamn necks like chickens to get any answers out of them at all?
1:06:32🔗DrewLet's role play. How many times a week, Gavin Sachs?
1:06:35🔗AdamWell, no, the beginning is, so you're having sex all the time. Not all the time, but a lot. All right, how many times a week? Three times, but that's...
1:06:48🔗AdamYes, that's based on a pagan calendar. Now, if we're talking about a Roman calendar, that's something else. Which calendar are you talking about? The Gregorian calendar?
1:07:00🔗AdamOr the lunar calendar? I think there's also a Mayan calendar. I'd like to tell you how many days a week we're good for on that calendar. All right, so three days on a five day a week calendar.
1:07:10🔗DrewTo quote her, Saturday and Sunday, yes.
1:08:21🔗AdamOkay. I don't want to do any more math there. I don't know if it has to do with that. Couples do get sort of hypersexual for... That eight months is about right.
1:08:33🔗DrewIt's about right, but usually it's a slow taper.
1:08:48🔗AdamYeah. It's like a car you know you're going to sell so you don't bother changing oil and you throw it in the reverse and you do Brody's in the parking lot when it's raining at night and you go screw it I'm going to have some fun.
1:09:01🔗DrewI think something like this is going on here.
1:09:02🔗AdamHmm. I wonder if guys, you know guys do do that. They go that, they get themselves a girlfriend and they're kind of sensing it's getting to the end and so it's like screw it I'm going to have a good time.
1:09:16🔗AdamYeah threesomes, shave this, let me get in the cornhole with this. Let me, I'm going to nail one of your friends and if you find out, you find out. You know what I mean?
1:09:27🔗DrewIt's like. Well some guys are like, oh that'll just give me the reason to go.
1:09:31🔗AdamYeah for me, I remember that, I remember being in junior high, getting about the last couple of months of ninth grade thinking oh screw it, screw it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm going to high school, I'm getting a fresh start, I'm going to start telling teachers to f off and showing up late. Just being a general nuisance, why bother? You know what it's like? It's like being in a dream that you know you're in. You go, oh screw it, I'm going to do what I want now.
1:10:45🔗AdamTo me, it's like, how can you be gay and be a virgin? It doesn't... It's like being a... To me, it's like being a virgin prostitute. It's like, well, you know what you're going to get into, but for now...
1:10:59🔗AdamHey, I appreciate it, but it just sounds strange. You don't talk to too many gay virgins.
1:11:03🔗DrewWell, the reason it sounds strange is you really... We have a definition in our society where you're sort of not gay until you have sex with a male, which is sort of silly.
1:11:12🔗AdamYeah, well, hey, no corpse, no murder. That's what I say.
1:11:17🔗DrewOh, God. All right, Todd, so nothing you can tell us about where you are in your life, are you on medication, where you're doing drugs, are there anything unusual about this circumstance?
1:11:26🔗CallerIt's just every time, like, with my ex, I get a reaction.
1:13:00🔗DrewIt may have something to do with why you're ambivalent about your feelings about men. God knows what you pick up on in this new guy that might be something that reminds you or who knows what of that traumatic experience.
1:13:08🔗AdamYou get molested at five, it can kill the junk at 16, no matter whether you're with a guy or with a girl.
1:13:24🔗AdamJust one of our hundreds and hundreds of lucky guesses on this show.
1:13:27🔗DrewI was last week getting criticized in the press a little bit.
1:13:31🔗AdamLet me say something, Drew. Let me cut you off. It's funny, I make lucky guesses night after night after night on this show with startling regularity. I mean, I'm very consistent in my lucky guesses. Yet, I go the horse track, I lose every bet I place. Why is that? Why am I so lucky in here, Drew?
1:13:51🔗DrewWhy is it that just because we do that, we get criticized for bringing it up?
1:14:00🔗DrewI just got some recently, we're doing a shtick that goes against the current literature and it's like, we're not doing anything, we're just asking the questions.
1:14:07🔗AdamYeah. All right. Well, listen, all those who criticize can come below me. That's my response to that. Drew, and I don't know why you read it or buy into it or whatever, but all the critics, all the people that don't like the man show, they don't like Loveline or they don't like me, or they don't like Drew can just blow me.
1:15:17🔗CallerI was wondering, I was reading up on the drug, Ecstasy.
1:15:20🔗DrewYeah. Did you read that Time Magazine article?
1:15:22🔗CallerYeah. I read that and I'm kind of confused. I heard you talk about a lot how it's like really dangerous, but I don't really get how it is dangerous.
1:15:30🔗DrewThat's why I'm mad at that article. I could see how you could read that article and come away very confused because... David, God bless you. I thought the same thing.
1:15:42🔗DrewWell, that's fine. Listen, I'm not judging anybody for what they choose to do, but to provide people with information that is confusing or inaccurate is dangerous. That's going to hurt people. My deal is, David, let me try to be as clear about this as possible. First of all, you guys want to do drugs, enjoy. It breaks my heart to see people hurting themselves. What I experience every day in my practice is seeing people who have permanent mood disturbances, really agonizing awful states of affect, that they're stuck with their entire life from LSD and ecstasy, and relatively moderate exposure.
1:16:21🔗AdamHow much ecstasy damage do you see? Drew, please, whatever estimate you give me, I will cut it in half because you exaggerate like a Jewish grandmother.
1:16:30🔗DrewI didn't give it as accurate as possible.
1:16:33🔗DrewWith, I'd say, how many hits, how many exposures?
1:16:37🔗AdamWell, I mean, are you seeing as an addiction medicine specialist, are you seeing people that are damaged solely from ecstasy, or are you seeing people that did a lot of acid and some ecstasy, and we don't know where the damage has come in?
1:16:56🔗DrewPeople that do a lot of acid tend not to do a lot of ecstasy, so I tend to blame that on the acid. I'll see like somebody does 30 hits of acid and 3 hits of ecstasy. I don't even count that.
1:17:06🔗DrewIf I see somebody on speed who's done ecstasy every weekend for a year, that's ecstasy, and I've seen that regularly. I would say anybody that has had more than 30 exposures to ecstasy is going to have some problems. That would be my estimate, and again, there's not a lot of good science to back that up, and that's why that article was so confusing. They don't really, they sort of call into question whether it's in fact the case when in fact if you talk to anybody that deals with addicts they will tell you it's obvious. It's obvious.
1:17:35🔗AdamAll right. So I can do it 27 more times.
1:17:38🔗DrewWell, we don't know. Well, let me tell you one...
1:17:40🔗AdamLet me write that down. Can you put that in a note?
1:17:42🔗DrewListen, one large hit of acid will give you a lifetime of trouble. So my guess is also one large hit of ecstasy will do the same thing.
1:18:05🔗DrewAll right. Please be careful, especially at your age. There's lots of evidence that under 18, there's more damage done with all these hallucinogenics.
1:18:24🔗CallerOkay. Well, my question is kind of weird. Okay. I like guys. I like guys and I like chicks, but I imagine myself being with them as a guy. So I would want to be a guy to be with a guy, and be a guy to be with a guy.
1:18:39🔗DrewYeah. This happens and I don't understand it. I've dealt with a number of male to female transsexuals who do that operation in order to have lesbian relationships with women.
1:18:51🔗AdamYeah. Well, F'd up is F'd up. Don't try to make any sense out of these screwballs. Hey Amy.
1:19:25🔗AdamI bet a gay guy, if you gave him enough wine coolers, would let you do that to him. Yeah. Yeah. Because gay guys do appreciate women. They just like the penis. They're scared of the vagina. But if you strapped the penis on over the vagina, I think you could do that. What about that? What happened to you? Listen, we're going to commercial. Amy? Yeah. We're going to come back. We're going to find out what happened to you, all right? Was it something good?
1:19:53🔗AdamYeah. All right. Maybe a little gambling going on.
1:19:56🔗DrewI don't got it. So if you want to beat me off on this, beat my pants off on this one.
1:20:02🔗AdamThat was a good save there. I beat you off and then now the pants are coming off. Good save. All right. Drew, seriously, have yourself a cup of coffee. We're going to come back and we're going to do some gambling on Amy. There's got to be something up here. All right. We'll get to that after this. Yep, it is the Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1, Matchbox Twenty was in here in the first hour. They took off because they had to do something very early tomorrow morning. And we're going to get back with Amy. Yeah, Amy, we're going to gamble on.
1:21:22🔗AdamAmy, you want to, you have fantasies about, or even maybe a little more than fantasies about becoming a man so that you can have sex with a man.
1:21:53🔗AdamYeah, it's important for me to let people know when I'm making a joke. Because otherwise between Drew and the Collars and the rest of the Loveline crew, there's going to be no tip. Nobody would know. All right. You ready to do some gambling here, Drew?
1:22:07🔗DrewYeah, but I'm going to go purely on instinct. I got nothing really. You go first.
1:22:12🔗AdamWell, what do you do normally? Open a dossier?
1:22:14🔗DrewNo, but I have a sense of it at least. Now I'm just letting whatever comes in my mind.
1:22:18🔗AdamNow my money's out in the car. I swear I'll go get the buck. She wants to be a man. Something had to go on. Did your mom do something weird? Like maybe your mom had a pass at her or something. Sexual abuse.
1:22:54🔗AdamI'm going, I'm going whacked out mom. Alright. Whacked out mom. Not a dad whacked out. Whacked out mom. You know, most of the stuff we always chalk it up to the dad side, I'm going mom side on this one. Maybe even grandma or something.
1:23:09🔗DrewOkay. Was she like abusive or something?
1:23:27🔗DrewThe dad was really unavailable. Like maybe he was gay himself. But then I'm seeing like something happened to him, like something violent happened to him or something.
1:23:40🔗AdamYeah, okay. Gay dad bought it on his moped.
1:23:50🔗CallerOkay, you guys were both wrong on your gambling.
1:23:54🔗AdamWell, my instinct to gamble was good. I just, we couldn't get a clear beat on you.
1:24:00🔗CallerOkay, my mother's great. My mother's a great person. The only thing that's wrong is she married a loser. My mother is verbally abusive and, you know, mentally abusive.
1:24:22🔗CallerHe just, he hasn't had a job. He doesn't, he doesn't work. He, he takes her money basically. He keeps it for himself. He's, he's mean to everyone.
1:24:33🔗AdamOoh, I'm getting a buck back. Yeah. Calls the nurse. Felt the nurse vibe coming out of mom. Ever, and hold on a second. You know all nurses are nuts. I mean, Drew, you know, you work in a doctor's world. You know.
1:25:21🔗AdamOh, man. I'm wrong again. So your mom's a nurse, and your dad's just a no-count loser. Basically. And what does he do? Is he verbally abuses you?
1:25:31🔗DrewYeah. There's something more about him, though. That's not enough.
1:26:30🔗CallerI really don't know because it's just kind of like a flashback. It's just kind of bits and pieces and I never really told anyone. I'm pretty sure it happened between maybe four or five.
1:26:40🔗AdamI should have went with molestation. I'm an idiot.
1:26:43🔗DrewWell, you got the dollar for the nurse thing.
1:26:44🔗AdamYeah. I did call the mom's profession. All right. Hey, listen, Amy.
1:26:49🔗AdamI know a lot of people do this and your mom's a saint, and your dad's Satan. But you think about your mom. She married this guy. She brought him home and she lets him do what he does.
1:27:08🔗AdamAs much as you love her and hate him, and he deserves to be hated, but she deserves some responsibility as well. You should be a little more realistic about that.
1:27:20🔗AdamNow, get yourself some counseling and all that stuff, because you were molested and all bets are off and who the hell knows. Do you know what I'm saying?
1:27:49🔗AdamShe's working in a mash unit. She's seen it all, heard it all, done it all. You know what I mean? Yeah, she's 16, everybody. It's horrible parents. I know dad's a piece of work because mom's a nurse, but not gay.
1:28:03🔗AdamNo, he's not gay. Drives a truck and he's a mechanic.
1:28:08🔗DrewYou notice how you couldn't get a clear image of who he was? Right. What's your dad do? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Right. Who is he? I don't know. And that's sort of what I was going at with her.
1:28:19🔗AdamAll right. Well, I'll get my buck back. And Drew, what did you have, dad? Yeah, that was a push. Daisy? Yeah? Wait a minute. I'll get your buck for guessing the nurse. Thank you. Daisy, you're 14. What's up?
1:28:32🔗CallerWell, me and my cousin, we found out this way to make yourself faint and I was wondering if it was dangerous.
1:29:00🔗CallerWell, you just choke yourself, take a deep breath and you faint.
1:29:04🔗DrewThat's because the blood supply has been cut off to your brain. They can go from passing out to stroke very easily. Okay? Don't do that.
1:29:12🔗AdamIn your body, Daisy, your brain is your second most important organ. Do you understand that? You wouldn't want to cut the blood supply off to your second most important organ, would you?
1:30:19🔗DrewI started learning about health. That's when I started drinking coffee.
1:30:21🔗AdamThat's right. The more you know. Well, listen, they do all these studies, and they end up finding out that coffee is not bad for you, and neither is the booze, and it turns out everything that they thought was bad is good. So I say enjoy. Good times. Jude.
1:30:52🔗AdamJude was on hold for 15 minutes. We got a lot of people that are on hold for an hour and a half on this show. She has to announce she's falling asleep.
1:30:59🔗CallerOkay. My problem is basically my penis, my brain are playing a game of backgammon.
1:31:13🔗CallerWhen I'm with her, I can have sex just fine with her, but then I'm away and I just start thinking it disgusts me. I can't put my finger on it.
1:31:22🔗AdamThat it disgusts you that she's 30 or disgusts you that you had sex with her?
1:31:27🔗CallerIt disgusts me that just sex in general with her, I guess.
1:33:10🔗AdamShe's married for seven years. What is it with our callers? What is it with them? Because this goes beyond stupidity. It's a, like I said, ego-tard. It's a retard meets huge ego, or something. What is that? How come you can't just answer a goddamn question?
1:33:28🔗DrewHow about, how about we develop another new term, like grandia-tardado.
1:33:37🔗AdamYeah, that does it. Egotard works nicely. And how do these people get through customs, by the way? How do our callers get through customs? You know, when they ask them if they have anything to declare or if they're bringing any fruit or produce across the border, how do they do that?
1:33:53🔗DrewThey just either say yes or no. I have to tell them.
1:33:55🔗AdamNo, I assume they're going to be arrested immediately.
1:34:00🔗CallerOne more question. Yes. It's regarding ecstasy kind of, and about two years ago, I was in an accident. A rock hit my neck and it formed an aneurysm.
1:34:35🔗CallerShe threw a rock into the river and I came around the corner and it hit my neck. About an hour later, I started losing feeling in my right side, the right side of my body.
1:34:57🔗AdamBecause that's like slit in your throat. I mean that artery, right?
1:35:01🔗DrewIt's basically a tear in the left side. He got it in the left because the right side of the body went out. It tears and goes right up into the brain and just occludes the main arteries into the brain.
1:35:41🔗DrewLet me get a little bit in with him a little more.
1:35:43🔗AdamDo it during the commercial. I mean during the commercial. You're gonna go talk to him during the commercial? All right, good times. We'll be back. Yep, it is Loveline, I'm Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew over there. Let's get back on the phone, see what kind of damage we can do. Al?
1:36:37🔗CallerAll right, I had unprotected sex with a girl, and then five days later, I was tested for STDs, and when I got the results, I was positive for chlamydia.
1:36:51🔗CallerNo, I wasn't. And then I just really paranoid, I was like, okay, I have to get tested, because unprotected sex isn't one of those things that I try not to do it.
1:37:41🔗DrewBad times. I would, you know what, you're never going to know. It's whatever it is you get treatment. Did you take the Zithromax or what did you take?
1:38:49🔗DrewIf it raises estrogen levels, testosterone is suppressed, it makes sense you may not develop fully, doesn't it?
1:38:53🔗AdamListen, it's not going to help. But if you are short, it's not going to be because of this. That's how life works. There's nothing like a genetic hand.
1:39:04🔗DrewAt the MTV Movie Awards last night, I saw the mini me guy.
1:39:25🔗AdamYeah, she's looking right up her skirt. Absolutely. Think about that. Think about being that mini me guy. You go to these MTV shows and all the chicks are wearing stiletto heels and mini skirts. It's just some kind of prune fest.
1:39:55🔗AdamThat's what we're going to do. We're going to play ourselves a song from Matchbox Twenty because we promised them we would. It was their last request before they stumbled out of here loaded on wine coolers. This is for Rob and Adam for being such great guys coming in and hanging out tonight. This song is from Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty and it's called Angry.
1:44:29🔗DrewWell again, another Loveline brought to a close. Want to thank Matchbox Twenty for coming in here. These guys are really substantial, great guys, and all their fans, they're worth every bit of your enthusiasm and support. Enjoy seeing them, I hope it won't be another two years before the next time we see them in here. Of course, the higher their success, the lower the probability that we'll see them in Loveline. No, actually, people have been pretty good to us these years about coming back and visiting, and Matchbox Twenty is one of the guys we've sort of been in contact with since the beginning. It's great to see them doing well. Again, I'm Dr. Drew. This has been Loveline, and let's see who's coming up here. We've got Perfect Circle tomorrow, Amy Mann after that. Couple good shows coming up, so please tune in. Until then, this is Dr. Drew on behalf of Adam Corolla saying mahalo.
1:45:15🔗AdamYou know, I have very sensitive nipples. Well now.
