1:37🔗VoiceoverListener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew. Loveline, Coast to Coast.
1:48🔗VoiceoverYep, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Facts number 310-854-4455. Dr. Drew is a board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Well, he went to Chicago because somebody dropped a nickel. He picked it up and now he's back.
2:07🔗DrewI'm triumphant with that. I'm looking for that... What was my prize again when I got back here? Honey child?
2:13🔗AdamI was going to give you a... You're getting a rim job and a felching when you get back. Oh, that's right. Jesus. What's become of us? Tony Hawk is our guest tonight. Tony, you know, is probably the world's greatest skateboarder or at least the biggest name in skateboarding. I don't know enough about skateboarding to know if he's the best in the world, but I certainly know that he makes the most money and he's the biggest name and has video games and books. And he pulled last year at the X Games, he did the 920? 900. Just 900?
2:53🔗AdamI was in the lobby with somebody at the X Games because Jimmy and I went out there, my other lover, a couple of weeks ago, and I was talking to someone and I said, Oh yeah, Tony's big time after he pulled that 675. And the guy like, 900. I was like, Oh, sorry, man. I should have won up.
3:31🔗AdamAnd is it, is anyone pulled this off yet? I mean, it's been a year, right?
3:36🔗Tony HawkYeah. There's a guy on the East Coast, actually, that's coming really close and I've heard he's landed it.
3:40🔗AdamAre they, so people are gunning for your, for your degree.
3:44🔗Tony HawkYeah. I mean, you know, a lot of people think that that's the pinnacle of skateboarding, but really it's, it's one trick that's actually a vert trick, so it's more specialized, you know, when you were, you do it on a ramp and some random street skater somewhere probably could care less about doing a 900, so.
4:41🔗AdamYeah. I'll tell you, I don't know what the viewership is or was for the X Games this year. And I don't know what the attendance was as opposed to three or four years ago. But this seems to be one of the fastest growing sports around. I mean, certainly press-wise, there's a hell of a lot more talk and a hell of a lot more hype about it this year. And there was a lot last year. But I know this thing's been around for six years. And you weren't hearing that much about it the first couple of years.
5:12🔗Tony HawkYeah, it's been growing every year. And I think skating is a big part of it, one of the focuses of it. And it's amazing. I mean, they really couldn't fit any more people there. There was a line three hours long just waiting to get into the venue.
5:27🔗Tony HawkIn San Francisco. So it's incredible.
5:30🔗AdamWhat did the grandstands hold there for just like the half pipe event?
5:33🔗Tony HawkI don't know. I would say at least like 5,000, I would think. Just the way, from the view, there was a lot of different viewing areas, but there was one main viewing area.
5:49🔗AdamOh, they had an opening ceremony with me and Jimmy and No Doubt, like Andy Dick hosted it and Randy the Macho Man Savage and an eclectic group, someone from Survivor. Not Survivor the show, Survivor the band. It was a bass player from Survivor. He did Eye of the Tiger. The crowd wasn't too hip on that. A lot of 14, 15-year-olds in there didn't know who Survivor actually was. That's what we ought to do. We ought to have a guest from Survivor on the show and get one of the guys who was wearing the beret in the video in 1983. But yeah, it was great and it's a beautiful location. I guess they're doing it in Chicago next year, or at least that's what I heard.
6:32🔗AdamOh, was it Philadelphia? Whatever it is, I thought, it's not going to be as nice as this. I mean, they hold it right out on the bay, right next to the bridge. I mean, it's really a picturesque, and the motorcycle stuff is really game and speed. Yeah, it's incredible. A few years ago when you thought X Games, you didn't think motorcycles. You thought pretty much street luge, half pipe, and some rock climbing. But I wasn't even, I thought super cross and stuff.
7:22🔗AdamHow does it work, by the way, that whenever you go out of town for a couple of days, or you go do an event or something like that, there's a guy who's assigned to you, somebody you're going to run into three, four times. Probably see him at the airport. Then you'll probably catch him in the hotel lobby. Then that night you'll see him at the party. Then the next day you'll see him at the event. It's never a hot chick. It's Lusjenstein. I ran into Lusjenstein in the lobby of the hotel when I was walking in. I ran into Lusjenstein in his leathers. When we were driving out of the place, Lusjenstein was pulling up into the place. And the goddamn day I left, I was talking to Lusjenstein.
8:03🔗Tony HawkI actually ran into him on the street a couple times myself.
8:06🔗Tony HawkAnd I didn't run into anyone on the street.
8:07🔗AdamThere was like tons of babes running around there and smart, interesting people. I could have had provocative conversation with him. I ran into Lusjenstein 300 times. And I thought, why is that? How does that work? How do you just, how does God just assign you to one guy? And it's always, it's always a big scary guy too.
8:33🔗DrewAnd then you find out, I'm away, I got away. Nope, six more times.
8:37🔗AdamLusjenstein. That is the guy I saw 650 times while I was there. Meanwhile, I'm hearing about everyone else being there and I never see any of them. Just Lusjenstein. And Lusjenstein is a 6465, he's got to be 250 pounds, he's just a, he took like six cows to make his leathers.
9:02🔗AdamOh, did he win? Good. We don't upset Lusjenstein. He put skateboard trucks on a coffin and just went right down that hill in it.
9:11🔗Tony HawkI saw him cruising on a motorized board around the set.
9:14🔗AdamOh. Lusjenstein. And like an idiot, Jimmy was calling him Lusjenstein. So I thought it was just some big Jew who was like some big German Jew who was into skateboarding. I didn't know. Jimmy like yelled at me that he made up Lusjenstein. You idiot. I didn't even know.
9:36🔗AdamFor Christ's sake. He's like a pro wrestler with a skateboard. All right. But a good guy. I don't want to say anything bad about Lusjenstein. It'll crush me. Tony is here promoting tonight amongst the other things. Adrenaline Theater and we had who do we have on here from Adrenaline Theater? Who's the surfer? Who do we have?
10:01🔗AdamKelly Slater. Oh, you weren't here. Oh, somebody dropped a nickel in Idaho. Oh, Iowa. Yeah, that's right. Kelly Slater was in here promoting this for the surf version, and now I guess this is a skateboarding version of it, right?
10:16🔗Tony HawkYeah. We made a video, actually a skating film of our team, and now they're releasing it into theaters. It's all shot on film.
10:25🔗AdamIt's real high quality. This is a picture. This is not some home movie.
10:32🔗Tony HawkI mean, at its core, it's a skate film. It doesn't pretend to be anything else, but it's got a lot of themes to it, and it's all very visual. It's all, you know, 60 and 35 millimeters.
10:42🔗AdamAnd it's playing up on on the big screens. It plays weekends at AMC theaters nationwide and over 40 cities. So and this one is called The End, and it's the is it the second in the series or we got the surf, the skate. Right. So we had the surf. Now the skate. Then they'll do the snow, the motocross, the BMX. And then Lusjenstein returns and then Lusjenstein versus the Three Stooges. That'll be the sixth and seventh in the series. And oh, the eighth. Lusjenstein kicks Corolla's ass.
11:17🔗Tony HawkI think you're heading for that one.
11:21🔗AdamYeah. So anyway, you can you can check this out. And it is I'm trying to find the the www.com thing, here for it. Anyway, I'll figure that one out in a minute. We'll give you more more details on it. Also, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is September 20th. That's when the and the one sold pretty well. Right.
11:45🔗Tony HawkYeah. I think it remained one of the top sellers since it was released last year. Up to now.
11:50🔗AdamWow. Oh, when you're 85 and you're looking at that thing and you're all full of sedatives, you're going to freak out. That could be weird.
12:01🔗Tony HawkYeah, it'll be. Yeah. Bad flashback.
12:08🔗CallerOkay. I'm two months pregnant. And ever since I got pregnant, I mean, I just cannot stand the boy I'm pregnant by. I don't know why. I just hate him. I can't stand looking at him. I don't want him around me or nothing.
12:20🔗DrewWhen did this happen that you became so aversive to him?
12:23🔗CallerI mean, it just, I mean, a couple days after I got pregnant, it just started getting worse and worse every day. So I just, I don't like him no more.
12:30🔗AdamWell, he's your brother. You're going to have to live with him and learn to cope.
12:57🔗CallerAn hour and a half to take a bath. Like, you know, stupid stuff, like it takes him an hour and a half to get up and take a shower. I mean, stupid things like that.
13:03🔗AdamHe's going to make a great father. And don't the folks over at the mill or the Arby's or wherever he barely works, don't they miss him when it takes him an hour and a half to get out of bed?
13:18🔗AdamAnd some, hold on a second. I bet when Christine gets really mad, she pulls the tobacco out of her mouth and throws it at him as he leaves down the front porch.
13:55🔗CallerHe stays the night. But my question is, should I just break up with him and leave it at that? Or should I stay with him? Will this get better? Will it change?
14:28🔗AdamThat's what I like about our listeners. No way. You don't leave that thing up to chance. You ruin it yourself. There's a chance they might get to a good family. And there's no way. I'm with you.
16:01🔗AdamHey, fifteen dollars an hour at eighteen. Listen, I'm not going to argue with that. Five years ago, I was making fifteen bucks an hour, Drew.
16:10🔗Tony HawkIs that straight out of high school? Yeah.
16:12🔗AdamYeah, she's fifteen. I mean, I remember having a hypothetical conversation with my carpet-cleaning boss. Although now that I look back on the conversation, I realize it sort of was to help him. What Would You Do For Ten Bucks An Hour? Was the title of this bizarre conversation I had while driving home from a colony kitchen in his carpet-cleaning van at four in the morning. And it was like, I was probably eighteen or nineteen. Ten bucks an hour? Work in like a flatter house, like, you know, like shoveling brains or something like that, I guess. Or maybe like a manure farm or something. Ten bucks an hour. I think that conversation was, he intentionally had it with me so I wouldn't ask for a raise. Philip?
17:11🔗AdamAll right. Hang on there Philip. Collect your thoughts. You know you're in bad shape or you smoke a lot of weed when someone says what's up and you go, huh? Huh? Okay. Hold on. Let me process that for a second. What do you mean by that? Let's try Philip one more time. Philip?
17:32🔗I've been with my girlfriend for about six months now. I went to visit my cousin and I got hooked up with another girl. This was about a month ago. She called my cousin and my cousin called me and she says that she has HIV. She tested positive and I went and got a test like last week and it hasn't come in yet. I was just wondering how I should tell my girlfriend.
19:03🔗Tony HawkWe did a tour of different skate parks across the country and made them into shows for ESPN. Actually, the tour is over, but the shows are going to still be produced. We still have four more to do, actually.
19:35🔗AdamYeah. That's where I'd go with my black nightboard with the clay. We didn't actually have even clay wheels back then. We just said they're made out of-
19:45🔗AdamNo, they're made out of soil. Dirt. Yeah. You'd sit on it, they'd crush it.
19:50🔗Tony HawkThey shot an episode of Chips there.
19:52🔗AdamOh, yeah. I remember that. Yeah. So he's going to do it, Elizabeth, or he's trying to do it.
19:58🔗Tony HawkWe're trying. If ESPN gives us a go, then we're on again.
20:01🔗CallerOkay. That's cool. Are you guys planning to have another Birdhouse video coming out?
20:08🔗Tony HawkWe're tentatively working on that as well, but that'll probably be throughout next year.
20:13🔗CallerWho's going to be on Tony Hawk for a skater, too?
20:16🔗Tony HawkAll the same guys, including adding Eric Costin, Steve Cavallaro, and Ronnie Mullen.
20:22🔗AdamGeez, you speak fluent skateboard gibberish. Here's what it sounded like to me. I got another question. How's that one? Eric Cavallaro will be on that one. And Skateboard Jam, is that what it is? Well, now the management of ESPN has green-lighted the project. And one last follow-up, Skateboard Jam. Drew, did you understand anything she said?
21:11🔗AdamSome braggots and some bros and some bros. I was like, when are Bill Cosby's characters calling in? All right, see, Tony knows he has to deal with these people.
22:07🔗AdamHold on a second. We got to go commercial. I don't even want to know. And, uh, Lusjenstein came over with one of those chef hats, made him eight feet tall. Listen.
22:23🔗DrewMom was making hot dogs. It's like a Bergman movie or something.
22:27🔗Tony HawkThis is where you guys start placing bets.
22:29🔗AdamIt's getting a little weird. Yeah, we may do some gambling tonight. All right, listen. Tony Hawk is our guest tonight. Candy's mom was cooking hot dogs. This is the beginning of the story. This is something that happened to her before she had her first sexual encounter at age 11. And we'll find out why ballparked Frank's plump when you cook them.
23:38🔗AdamWhat are they, beds? These are bumpers. Another five years in radio, I'll figure this out. Tony Hawk is our guest tonight. He's here pimping Adrenaline Theater, which is something that we... Kelly Slater was in here a few weeks back talking about the surf version of it, and this will be the skateboard version of it. And it can be found at AMC theaters all across the nation on weekends. And this is a high-end, top-quality big screen and radical stuff, right, Tony?
24:36🔗AdamNow, what's it take for you, what do you have to do to make a video like that? Do you have to do anything?
24:43🔗Tony HawkYeah. Well, I mean, besides just giving my expertise, I did a day of motion capture where I had all the walls attached to me, and skated this ramp for hours and hours and a few times.
24:58🔗AdamSo they set up that hole, and we've seen these guys wear the very tight Lycra suits.
25:05🔗AdamVery revealing. And Tony told me during the break, he shoved a couple of socks down in his just to really add a certain flair to it. And then they put these like ping pong balls all over the thing.
25:17🔗Tony HawkThey look like ping pong balls. They're iridescent. From what I found out later, they cost something like, I don't know, they're saying like 50 bucks each or something.
25:24🔗AdamAnd how many of them do they put on? Quite a few?
25:29🔗AdamAnd they need it for all the parts that are moving?
25:32🔗Tony HawkYeah, and then they have about 20 cameras or something that collect all the information and then put them into a 3D model. And those, each ball or area gets mapped into the character on the game, so it moves exactly the way you move in that motion.
25:47🔗AdamAnd when you get this video, it is Tony Hawk skating.
25:51🔗Tony HawkYeah, my character. How's it look? It looks great. Yeah, it's awesome.
25:55🔗AdamAnd where's the half pipe set up? Did they do it on a sound stage?
25:59🔗Tony HawkNo, they used a skate park. They used Skate Street in Ventura.
26:03🔗AdamAnd they just brought all their equipment out there?
26:05🔗Tony HawkThey brought all their equipment and we spent a whole day doing it.
26:08🔗Tony HawkAnd then for the tricks that we didn't get there, I provide the reference material for it and reference material for maybe some of the terrain they're creating. Some of the places are actual skate spots in the game.
26:20🔗AdamThat's all foreign to me. I don't play any video games.
26:23🔗DrewI'm trying to think what your equivalent Corolla game would be. Trampolines.
26:31🔗AdamI only need two ping pong balls for that by the way. All right. So wait a minute. Before we left, we were talking to Candy. Just let me make sure Candy's still there. Candy? Yes. Okay. Now you have never had an orgasm. You're 16 years old. You started having sex at age 11. And we want to know if there was any trauma before the age 11. And you said, now don't finish this line. But once when your mom was cooking hot dogs, all right, and then you stopped there. I'd like to see if we can finish this story.
27:45🔗CallerWell, okay. I was like three. She told me that, you know, I did this when I was about three. I asked her what it was, and she said, it was hot dogs. And I was like, oh, so that's what daddy stuck in my mouth.
29:32🔗DrewBut they'll find another way. They'll find another way.
29:34🔗AdamYeah. They figure themselves out. All right. Hey, Candy. Yeah. So just slow down and wait. Should you go to like Alateen or something like that?
31:35🔗AdamI know, listen, I know it's not convenient, but it never really is. You have to get roommates. I moved out, I got a one bedroom, I had two roommates, there's three of us living in one bedroom.
31:46🔗AdamYeah, it's great sleeping on bunk beds when you're an adult. You're bringing chicks over.
31:51🔗CallerYou didn't get enough of it when your little sister was below you crying all night.
31:55🔗AdamOh, I thought he said something else. Hey, John, your mom is a mess. I'm sorry for it, but you living in that house is going to be a bitch. It really is.
32:04🔗DrewIf she's coming back and has not made some substantive change in terms of getting treatment for what's going on with her, her addictive process, her manic behavior, things are not going to change. So you got to at least advise your dad to see to it that some professional intervention occurs.
32:18🔗AdamYeah. Like I say night after night, people hang in, whether it's bad roommates or bad parents or bad whatever, bad living situations, there's nothing that's worth that. There really isn't. I mean, hey, if you want to take a semester off college, go to work, get your ass together, move out, that's better. It's all better than that.
32:40🔗Tony HawkTaking a chance is better than just dealing with it. Trying to deal with it.
33:16🔗DrewJust talk about it just before orgasm. That's all you got to say. You don't have to say under what circumstance. Believe me, the doctor knows you're 15 and you're having orgasms. Okay? It's important that he or she know that's the context. And it can be some serious stuff. There are migraines and there are also things like aneurysms and whatnot, and high blood pressure problems. It's something that does need to be evaluated, David. Okay?
33:41🔗AdamRemember, when I was 15, I'd get a headache if I didn't masturbate every 15 minutes. It was like a little different. And now I've upped that to 35 minutes as an adult now, which by the way, what time is it?
33:53🔗AdamOh, it's 10.35. Interesting. David? So listen, talk to your doctor. Really, you could have something going on. It could be a bad thing, right?
34:35🔗AdamI swear to Christ, nothing is sacred in the Corolla house. She pulled me aside and she wasn't telling me because she was worried about me or maybe she was.
34:54🔗AdamYeah, for sport. Some older people play bingo. She makes her grandson squirm with the talk of rim jobs and auto-asphyxiation and things like that. Auto-erotic asphyxiation. I remember she was telling me this story and half of me was repulsed. The other half thought, hey, that's something.
35:17🔗Tony HawkYou don't want to give people that kind of idea either.
35:50🔗DrewAbsolutely. It's one of the more common manifestations of the injury caused by that drug.
35:54🔗CallerBecause, I mean, I was listening like last night, and I stopped doing it the past like two months, and everything has been fine. But I don't know if it's because I started to hear about it more often or...
36:05🔗DrewNo. Katie, this drug is well known to damage brain. How much more do you need to know than that? Panic attacks are one of the more common outcomes. This will often be associated with mood disturbances later.
37:00🔗AdamYou're fine. You're on Easy Street. Mary Lusjenstein. Easy Street.
37:04🔗CallerI'm just so glad I found out about it now and not like two years from now.
37:08🔗DrewOr that you really, the more exposure, the more serious the consequences.
37:12🔗CallerThese kids don't even know what they're getting into.
37:15🔗DrewYeah. And hopefully, if you keep having panic or if the mood starts to crap out on you, go get treated because this often requires medication. The medication can be very effective.
37:25🔗AdamDrew, how come the Negroes never do acts? Are they, are we, oh, are we calling them Negroes now? Are they still, what is that called? Is there's a new name now? What is that name? The new name for Negro?
37:41🔗AdamAfrican Americans. How come the African Americans don't do the OE? All right, all right. I'm going to work this all out. I'm going to work this out. I'm telling you. I got to get, I got to get with the times here. Really, don't people call it X?
37:55🔗DrewNo, I've been meaning to correct you for like last month. And I keep forgetting to.
38:53🔗AdamWe'll be right back. Yep, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. He is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Tony Hawk's our guest tonight. He's here to Hawk Adrenaline Theater. The end is what this is called in the series of, I believe it's about five. And this is the skateboarding stuff. And if you want to log on to monsterskate.com or adrenalinetheatre.com, you can find out where it's gonna be near you. It's at AMC Theaters, it's on weekends, and it's nationwide. So see skating in its full glory on the big screen, where it belongs. And Tony also is gonna release on September 20th, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. And do you have a book out too?
40:17🔗Tony HawkYeah, it's called Occupation Skateboarder. It's Autobiography.
40:45🔗Tony HawkNo, not at all. It was just a title that you held. I'm now a pro skateboarder because I was an amateur and now I'm pro.
40:52🔗AdamBecause you have a sponsor. I mean, what makes you a pro? You get a sponsor? Is that essentially?
40:56🔗Tony HawkYou get a sponsor. And then if you at the time, it was more based on competition. So if you reach the top of the amateur ranks, the next step was to turn professional. And I think the pro prize money then was $150 at first place for an event. Oh, that's bad.
41:12🔗Tony HawkI received a royalty check for my signature model actually for 85 cents for the month.
41:18🔗AdamAnd his, it seems to me that skateboarding made a sort of technological leap in a, you know, like a five-year period between, I don't know, 1980 and 1985 or something. But it seems like stuff has remained equipment wise. The boards.
41:36🔗Tony HawkPretty much the same construction. Board trucks and wheels.
41:40🔗AdamA little better design, but same materials, same stuff?
41:43🔗Tony HawkYeah, same like wood, maple, seven ply and urethane wheels and just...
41:49🔗AdamDo you think it sort of hit a plateau? And I don't mean that in a bad way, but I mean, this is what you're using?
41:54🔗Tony HawkWell, we've seen a lot of changes, you know, in shapes and in sizes. And now we've really, over the last, I'd say five years, we've really kind of come to a happy medium and nothing's really changed very much.
42:12🔗Tony HawkYeah, but the actual construction of the skateboards. Right. I think the only real revolution that we can see is something to replace the wood. And we haven't found the right substitute yet.
42:23🔗AdamIt's bizarre how many, like, sports, especially high-tech, no-holds-barred sort of things, still rely on wood as sort of the basis of their equipment.
42:35🔗DrewThe bicycle freaks me out. A friend of mine was showing me his $7,000 bicycle this weekend.
42:39🔗AdamRight, one of those titanium mountain bikes with the springs everywhere. Yeah, you know what he does with it? He puts it on the rack of his Range Rover and drives in circles around the Gelsens trying to score, right? And that's what he does, right?
42:54🔗Tony HawkWhere's the tights into the coffee shop?
42:56🔗AdamYeah, it's funny. I was laughing with Drew the other night about how cars' big selling points now as they come with a bike. And I thought, you know, like, the whole point of buying a car so you don't have to get on the bike anymore. I mean, at least when I was growing up.
43:11🔗Tony HawkAnd it's just welded to the frame, doesn't actually come off?
43:14🔗AdamRight. I think they are now. Yeah, they're actually stamped into the mold of the body. It just has a thing that's shaped like a bicycle stamped to the roof. You look cool. Don't worry. It comes with a bike and a bandana keychain. You'll get laid for sure. Elaine?
43:33🔗The very first time I had sex, I did not bleed at all. The first time I had anal sex, I did not bleed either. I heard that it's very rare for you to have sex the first time, both anal and regular sex and not bleed. I was wondering if it's the elasticity of my skin.
43:53🔗DrewThe anal sex does not typically cause bleeding.
43:56🔗AdamBut here's a very eerie and interesting earmark to the story. The Virgin Mary that her father has on the dashboard of his truck bled a bloody tear when she had that anal sex. Very interesting.
44:09🔗DrewHow old were you when you had intercourse first time?
44:12🔗DrewSo you're old enough that there may not have been a hymen. An anal sex shouldn't cause bleeding. If it does, you have to get it checked out, in fact. So no, nothing really unusual about all this.
44:57🔗CallerWhat's up? I really don't have no sick demanded sex question for you guys. I listen to you guys every night coming on from work, and I've listened to you guys for years. Adam is the most hilarious guy I've ever heard. Striker filled in for you, and it was cool, but so good to have Adam back.
45:21🔗CallerI had a question for Tony. I'm not really a big video game fanatic. I was, and I was younger. But when Tony Howard came out, I was addicted to this game. Me and my friends just had addiction for this game. We'd go anywhere we could just to play it. Wake up in the middle of the night and play this game. And I just want to ask you if you play your own game, if you feel it like how we feel about this game.
45:44🔗Tony HawkYeah, the best thing about me playing it is that I can actually tell my wife that I'm working. So I was up, well yeah, when it first came out, I was up till like three o'clock in the morning every night trying to finish it.
45:57🔗Tony HawkI'm pretty good, but there are kids that have so much time to play it that I really can't compete.
46:01🔗CallerThat's another question I was going to ask because I have a friend, man, and he is amazing on this game. Like, I don't know what the highest score you've ever seen, but my homie pulls like 800,000 tricks. Like, not tricks, but 800,000 runs.
46:24🔗AdamOh, I see. OK, I thought he meant like no cheats.
46:26🔗Tony HawkYeah, no, like he's not entering special codes that allow him to do stuff better or slow mo.
46:30🔗CallerWithout a special code, he'll pull like 500. That's good. With a special code, dude, he pulls like 200,000 point tricks just one trick alone.
46:38🔗AdamHey, Robert, I bet he traded all in to get laid once. You'd give it all up, wouldn't he?
46:44🔗Tony HawkYou know what's scary is that, not scary, but surprising, is that a lot of girls play this game.
46:49🔗Tony HawkAnd there aren't too many games that really cross over.
46:52🔗AdamYeah, that's kind of interesting because video games are predominantly kind of a male phenomenon, aren't they?
46:57🔗Tony HawkYes, definitely. But I hear a lot and I hear a lot of girls say, Oh, I hated my boyfriend. I was playing all the time and then he let me try once and now we play it together and now we compete.
47:06🔗AdamAnd when you compete, it's your score against their score. I mean, I know it sounds obvious.
47:11🔗Tony HawkThere is a dual player mode that you can play at the same time.
47:32🔗AdamThat's my thing. Yeah. And you can play it against the wall when you get bored. It's great. All right. We'll take a little break. Tony Hawk is our guest tonight. When we come back, we'll speak to more of you after this.
48:28🔗AdamIt's Loveline, I'm Adam Corolla, this is Dr. Drew with AirFo, number 1-800-LOVE-191. Tony Hawk is our guest tonight, the world's greatest skateboarder. He is here talking about Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, which will be out September 20th, also Occupation Skateboarder, which is a book, which is out. And the book, pardon me, the movie, Adrenaline Theater Presents the End, which is the skateboard part of the series of, what do you call, sort of extreme filmmaking.
49:06🔗Adammonsterskate.com or adrenalinetheater.com is where you can log on and check out a location near you at an AMC theater playing on the weekends. We're just talking during the break about games played in the schoolyard and growing up. I'm talking about grade school and junior high. Most of the games revolved around hitting guys with utility balls. That was the whole thing. The idea was to hit somebody with a ball, beam them and knock them out. We were talking about playing a game called Smear the Queer, which I don't know if that game goes on anymore in schoolyards. But it's like-
49:47🔗Tony HawkIt's probably like Fight Club now. There's this underground movement of Smear the Queer, but no one's really allowed to do it.
49:52🔗AdamI was telling the guys, it wasn't an officially sanctioned recess game by the school. It's the cockfighting of schoolyard games. We'd have these little games. You played against a backboard on a handball court, and you throw a tennis ball, and whoever it bounced off, and whoever dropped it had to make it back to the board before everyone beat the crap out of them, or while everyone was being the crap out of them. But I did it once, and I dropped the ball intentionally. Instead of running to the board to safety, I ran the exact opposite way, and then I had 20 kids chase me, like at the end of Benny Hill, through an entire schoolyard. And everything was going great. I mean, I was out juking every one of these sixth graders. I was moving and doing all my great moves. And everything was going great, and I was running full blast, and I ran past a guy by the name of Mike Brown. I'll never forget Mike Brown. And I didn't think Mike Brown was involved with the game because Mike was not one of the people chasing me. But Mike was smart. Mike stopped and doubled back. And as I ran past Mike Brown, Mike socked me right in the solar plexus, about as hard as he could while I was running full speed. I stumbled about three more steps and then went down on my face, and sort of was writhing in pain. And you know what I love about kids? It's like everyone stopped and I was like, oh, oh, and there's a beat of like, I think he's really hurt. And then it was, get him. Get him. And I was like, hey, by law. You know, people are like, hey, sorry, man. It's like, we don't want to have to beat the crap out of you while you're lying on the asphalt, holding your midsection, but rules are rules. I mean, what are you gonna do?
51:34🔗Tony HawkIf you're still breathing, then it's fair game.
51:36🔗AdamYeah, I mean, if word gets out, that we let you live. And I think that's when I used one of my I'm serious calls, which is what you could do when you're a kid and someone was really screwing with you or you're really hurt. Like the time I was rolled up in a carpet. I got, I let myself be rolled up in a piece of carpet. So there was like six foot of carpet in front of me and six foot of carpet behind me. My hands were at my side and I got rolled up in the middle of it. And then people were like stomping on it and kicking it. And I was like yelling, let me out. And people were laughing. And at a certain point, if you say it with the right pitch, if you go, I'm serious, then you'll hear the guys, hey, he's serious. Let him out. Let him out.
52:20🔗Tony HawkThere was always the kid that cried wolf.
52:22🔗AdamRight. Well, you can't use too many of those. I'm serious calls. We get one per like semester or something like that, depending on the crowd you run with. But I always thought, and I've talked to Drew about this before, I always wish as an adult, I had a handful of those.
52:55🔗AdamWe'll stay together. We'll stay together. Yeah, I mean, as an adult, you should really, when you leave high school, you should get like three I'm-seriouses just to take with you. And I'd say, like I said, getting canned from a job or having a girl dump you, just use them at your own discretion. Oh, it'd be nice, wouldn't it? With the police. With the police. Right. Police pull you over. You know, your shoulder's dislocated. They're beating you with a baton. You yell. Rodney King could have yelled, I'm serious, halfway into that beating, it would have been fine. No more trouble. All right. Jamie?
54:28🔗AdamIt sends a dangerous message to the young women of the community, which is they don't have to starve themselves and work out like free. Jamie? Yeah. Are you overweight?
55:06🔗AdamI did the radio math. You can't argue with that. So you're a little bit husky, but certainly wouldn't call you fat by any stretch of the imagination, right?
56:41🔗CallerBecause like my friends criticize me for it. They're like, what? You like him?
56:44🔗AdamYeah. Listen, this is a great thing. It means you're, I don't know what it means. It's fine. You're all right, Jamie. Okay. Good. Enjoy your big love. You just get on top. That's all. Mike? Hey, how's it going? You're 19. I don't know if we've ever had that proclamation from a young lady on this show, have we, or a declaration? I hope not. What's up there, Mike?
57:11🔗CallerYeah. I was wondering what I can do about the, what is it called, penile papules?
57:16🔗DrewWhy would you want to do anything with them?
57:18🔗CallerIs there something we can do to get rid of them, like a soap or a hair follicle cream or whatever?
57:25🔗DrewWait a minute. What are you talking about?
58:02🔗AdamProbably once or twice a week, and then I even hold the flashlight up to it underneath and turn the lights off so I can see through it. I miss my balls.
58:13🔗AdamYeah, it's nice. It's warm, it's tingly, feels good. Now, get those little white things on there. Some of them just pop like butter, but some are like rocks.
59:47🔗AdamYou get a little, you don't even want to call them zits, because they're not really zits. You just get a little white heads on there every once in a while. Like you'd get, I don't know, like on your nose, you get those little black heads.
59:58🔗Tony HawkYou should get one of those strips that you put on your nose.
1:00:00🔗AdamBiore strip? Yeah, I put on my balls with it.
1:00:21🔗AdamSo you get the little ones. It's just a little like the ball and a ball point pen. That is the literal size of it. And you can just sort of pop them with your fingernail. But once in a while, you run into one and it's just hard. It's just like a little rock and it ain't moving.
1:00:46🔗DrewWe have to do another another scrotal examination. I didn't even notice your scrotum when we were down there.
1:00:51🔗AdamDrew, you know why you don't know my scrotum? It hangs so low you don't see where it ends. It just looks like a flap of skin.
1:00:57🔗DrewIt was like a curtain behind your penis.
1:00:59🔗AdamThat's right. And for my next trick. It drew. Oh, Jesus Christ. I just dumped acid all over my penis. Yeah, that was Drew examining my penis. He thought I had, what did you think I had? Warts? Warts. Yeah. Well, it turns out I won $100 from it.
1:01:15🔗Tony HawkWarts are different than lusca metastasis.
1:01:17🔗AdamYeah. You want to lose another $100, I'll send you back down below if you like. Easy money for me. I should tour the country asking doctors for $100 to look at my penis. When do you think the last time a doctor lost $100 looking at someone's Johnson? Do you know what I'm saying?
1:01:33🔗DrewWhen the last time a doctor paid a patient right there.
1:01:36🔗AdamThat's right. Paid him $100 to look at his door.
1:01:38🔗DrewI didn't pay to look. I bet you there was something on it, which I still believe there had been.
1:01:42🔗AdamDrew bet there was something on my penis. He bet me $100. He found nothing. It was like the purest driven snow, like the camp of a mountain in Alaska.
1:01:51🔗DrewListen, he put a stunt penis in there.
1:02:05🔗AdamHow dare you? Suspicious. Let me tell you what suspicious is. Drew thought he was going to lose $100, so he thought he'd plant a little seed in the juror's mind. Suspicious. Suspicious. Joe?
1:02:24🔗CallerWell, I was going out with this girl for a while and everything was fine, you know, lovey-dovey. But then she said that her feelings were like growing. And then ever since then, I just kind of, my feeling, hers got higher and then mine got lower. And that's been pretty much how it is with most of my other girlfriends.
1:02:44🔗DrewSo, you're just not ready for any kind of intimate relationship right now, right? Are you afraid that it's going to, you're going to be vulnerable? Are you going to hurt somebody or is it more than you want?
1:02:56🔗CallerI don't know because I would like to, I wish I could still enjoy being with them, but then once I hear that, they get more and more annoying.
1:03:07🔗Tony HawkSo, if they're distant, it's more fun to chase them.
1:03:11🔗AdamYeah. Hey listen, Joe, you're 16. That's the way it goes. That's fine.
1:03:16🔗AdamA lot of guys are that way, but here's the deal. You're aware of it, you're thinking about it, you're talking about it. So, by the time you're 55, 60, it won't be a problem. Just, I'm serious. Doesn't he sound like Be Real from Cypress Hill, by the way, Drew?
1:03:32🔗AdamYeah, that was his voice. Here's the deal. A lot of guys have this gene and especially at 16, and if you're asking questions and talking about it, and realizing it may be a problem at 16, you'll be fine. You go through a few more years of this. Good. So, you don't get married at 18 or 19. Smart. Keeps you out of trouble. In a way, I think this is a good quality.
1:03:57🔗AdamIt's protective. I think the reason most guys have this is for just that. Yeah. Then they're the guys who meet a chick in the eighth grade, and date her for three years, and marry her at 17. How smart are those guys? Where was their little protective coating?
1:04:24🔗CallerHi. I'm not really concerned about, what is it, relapse. My question was more towards, well, I've been sober for a year now, and I work with adolescents as a counselor. My question was, if you find out your child is using or doing drugs or whatever, do you suggest you have them relate to them with your own experience?
1:04:54🔗CallerOr just avoid it and tell them the truth about drugs and what they lead to?
1:05:00🔗DrewIf you're an addict and in recovery, you really can't avoid talking about it, right? And so you need to talk about the consequences and you need to talk about the solutions.
1:05:10🔗CallerWell, yeah. I know. Like when I'm the counselor there and I speak to the other people there, I relate with my own experience. But I'm saying as an adult, as a parent-
1:05:24🔗DrewBut the point is, when you're a parent and you're in recovery, you're going to meetings every night, you're having sponsors, you're talking to them, the child sees the relationship you have with the recovery community.
1:05:32🔗AdamSo listen, if they can't say out of the bag-
1:05:34🔗DrewYeah, you got to talk about it. If not, you're talking to them about what you did do, is issuing a license for them to do the same.
1:06:20🔗CallerI've been going out with this guy for three months. I found out that I was pregnant, and we decided that we weren't going to really see each other anymore. I told him about it, and he seemed really interested to help me in everything. He wanted to know everything. He wanted to go to the doctor with me. Then I was supposed to call him back, and he never returned my call. I'm just wondering if he's avoiding me.
1:06:50🔗CallerI don't know. I just took the test yesterday, and I found out that I was. He wanted me to tell him. He's like, Yeah, I talked to him today, and we talked for a long time.
1:07:01🔗AdamWell, here's her story. I dated a guy for three months, and then I told him I was pregnant. At first, he was into it. He was going to the doctor with me.
1:07:12🔗Tony HawkThey were breaking up before the sample.
1:07:14🔗AdamOkay, he was breaking up. But he was into it. They were going to the doctors together. I thought the kid was four. Yeah.
1:07:22🔗AdamWell, yesterday is when I found out. I had a whole musical montage in my head of the calendar pages blowing in the wind, them being at the doctor, her getting the angiogram or the ultrasound, them looking at it, them picking out wallpaper for the nursery. It was a whole, it really was a theater of the mind. And it turned out to, probably yesterday in the evening, about 8.30 yesterday night, I found out it was Friday. How did it work though that he was all into it?
1:08:01🔗CallerIf you don't feel that you're into this, let me know because I don't want to be going with you down the long haul and you leave me or you decide that this is for you. He was the one that was coming up.
1:08:49🔗AdamJean, give me a list, if it's a boy, of some possible occupations you might like to see. I'm just curious. I mean, different jobs, different things. Do you want to go to college? You know, different things like that.
1:09:31🔗CallerI was trying to ease my own tension, that's all.
1:09:33🔗AdamAll right. All right. So now, you were, I'm sorry, Drew was distracting me. I didn't hear every syllable that came out of your mouth. But, you know, I do, I do have the, you know, sort of a general template of your problem.
1:09:48🔗AdamYeah. And now, your boyfriend, you just found out yesterday.
1:09:54🔗CallerYeah. I haven't actually even gone to the doctor yet. This is all, like, really new. I just took the home test twice.
1:09:59🔗Tony HawkDidn't she say that he went to the doctor with her?
1:10:02🔗No, he said that he wouldn't want to go to the doctor.
1:10:03🔗DrewHe would want to go, but now that you actually know you're pregnant, he's freaking out or something. He's just not available.
1:10:09🔗CallerWell, I guess, yeah. I don't know. I mean, he seemed like, you know, he'd be willing to help. And he didn't want to take my call. His roommate said, oh, no, he's asleep.
1:10:19🔗AdamI see. Well, describe him. What kind of guy is he? I mean, give us, give us a composite of this guy.
1:11:47🔗AdamAll right. All right. Hang on, Gene. We'll see if we can get his number and see if we can get to the bottom of this during the break and then we'll come back. All right. Hold on a second. Tony Hawk is our guest tonight. We'll be back with more of the famous show after this.
1:12:50🔗AdamThank you. That's the name of my production company. You need to, how about sending him a note or a letter basically saying that, listen, whatever happened, it ain't going away and we can talk and we can, basically it's like this. It's like the letters I used to get from parking enforcement, which is now it's a warrant. Put it this way, it ain't going away. So you come down and pay your fine and deal with it now or it'll be worse. It'll keep getting worse every month and eventually you'll get pulled over on your way to a Hoffman Travel where you used to work at 18 and you'll be arrested.
1:13:30🔗DrewOn the route that your mother recommended.
1:13:32🔗AdamYes. It was a very, very bizarre story. My mother recommended a side street for me to ride my motorcycle too, that no cops would ever be on.
1:13:47🔗AdamOh, no. You got to understand that was one of the more generous acts of the Corolla family. I said to my mom, hey, I got to warn out for my arrest for parking fines that I haven't paid, and it's like 550 bucks and I don't have it, and if I get pulled over, I'm going to jail. I mean, I'm not going to prison, but the next time I get pulled over, I will not be getting back on my motorcycle. I will be getting in the back of a squad car. And she said, here's a side street that you can take. And here's the beauty of me. The notion of even saying, hey, I'm going to borrow 500 bucks to take care of this or whatever, or the fact, thinking that she would bring it up or do anything like that was ludicrous and absurd. It didn't occur to me to ask my mother or my father for it. And this was a Sunday night, and she said, this street runs parallel to that major street where all the cops are, and it runs right with it. It will get you right to work just as fast. I took that side street the following morning. I got arrested and thrown in the pokey. That next morning, I mean, I was eating dinner with her at 8.39 in the evening. This is at 8 the next morning. Twelve hours later, I was incarcerated because I took her goddamn side street. Anyway, those are the Corollas, everyone. You, Drew, do you want a better example? You know how I always explained you with my family, not bad people, but you're on your own?
1:15:12🔗DrewYeah, that's a good one. That's a good one.
1:15:14🔗AdamThat and it's not a dramatic example. It's not a shocking example. It's just that's how it went. You want a side street, here's a side street.
1:15:21🔗DrewThere's a chapter two to it, which is when he gets arrested, it never occurs to call family.
1:15:27🔗AdamI had three buddies all put together like 200 bucks each and get me out of there. Chris, Snake and Ray all got me out of there. And they spent the next five years paying them up.
1:15:40🔗AdamAll right, so, Gene, I would suggest the adoption or abortion. Either way, she needs to contact this guy.
1:15:47🔗DrewYeah, some way to get that. And don't assume the worst. Maybe there's some explanation for this, but be real clear with him. You need his support now.
1:15:54🔗AdamKira? Hello? Kira, Drew, what if one of your kids had a warrant out for their arrest and was explaining that to you? Would you pay the fine?
1:16:05🔗DrewIt would trigger a very long series of responses and consequences. It wouldn't be, oh, good, well, here's how we'll avoid the police, dodge them.
1:16:14🔗AdamWould you basically tell them how to become a fugitive and then go back home and go to bed?
1:16:52🔗CallerWell, I was just curious what you guys thought about... If I told you about the guy that I'm dating, I'm not sure if he's using me, just trying to get me in bed or if maybe you think... Because I do exotic dancing for a living and I'm not sure if people seem to hit on me because they find out that I do that.
1:18:16🔗AdamI see. So that's the pasty. That's why. Because if you were topless, they'd have to put away the hard stuff, right?
1:18:22🔗CallerRight. There's no... Well, it depends on the state and the county that I'm in. Yeah, there's no nudity if there's alcohol.
1:18:28🔗AdamThat's great. That's what I love about Canada. Canada... It's like... Hold on a second. Here, I was explaining this to the Canadian press. At least in Los Angeles and California, here's the rules. Topless in beer or bottomless and... Now, topless in beer only, no hard stuff or bottomless, no beer, no hard stuff, just soda. But no booze, no alcohol with the topless, bottomless places and only beer with the topless. I was saying, in Canada, it's a-holes and heroin is basically, I mean, whatever you want to do, just do it. And they're like, hey, you're an adult. Who are you kidding? You know what I mean?
1:19:18🔗DrewWell, how about they get around the topless part by putting pasties on?
1:19:22🔗AdamI know, but there's nothing more bizarre than seeing six surly guys sitting around a totally nude place. Yeah, Bob, what do you have? Climato, Jim Mountain Dew, Roy Rogers and a surly temple over here. And could I have two maraschino cherries with that? Thank you, hon. And bring over a pitcher of Sprite. Meanwhile, Jade is up on stage and she's spread eagle.
1:19:54🔗Tony HawkYou can get daring with an O'Douls.
1:19:57🔗AdamI don't even... I guess they have them. I don't even know if they have those in there because they're like 100% alcohol or something. That's interesting. It's really bizarre to see a guy sipping soda at one of these all nude places. Anyway, what the hell is that, Kara? Kara?
1:20:18🔗CallerAll right, well, he called me up just out of the blue, like at the end of June, beginning of July, and he just said that he wanted to hook up with me. And then the first time that we hung out, he asked me out. And it just seems like he's always wanting to be really physical.
1:20:32🔗DrewWell, he's just very attracted to you.
1:20:33🔗AdamYeah, he's a guy, and you look good in your paces.
1:20:36🔗DrewHe didn't know you were an exotic dancer.
1:21:03🔗CallerAnd I know he's a really physical guy to begin with, and it seems like all he ever wants to do is just hang around my place, watch TV, and then just get real physical.
1:21:17🔗AdamThat's what I wanted to do, 24. Now it's a nap, whack off, and contemplate suicide. Not in that order.
1:21:25🔗CallerI'm not sure if maybe I'm doing this just because of the last relationship I got out of was really long and really serious, and it seems like I've just sort of been doing everything a lot more haphazardly. Yeah.
1:21:35🔗AdamAll right. Well, listen, if it's uncomfortable, you're the woman, you set the ground rules, you check.
1:21:41🔗DrewRight. And you're picking up on something that makes you feel uncomfortable with this guy. He's not into you. He just sees you as an object.
1:21:48🔗AdamAnd men will slide into their comfort zone very quickly. And that is not about ballroom dancing and going out for sushi. That is about hanging out, watching TV, and getting a BJ. And it's up for women, it's up to you to motivate.
1:22:03🔗Tony HawkThat's a formula for some serious jealousy, too.
1:22:07🔗AdamDrew, your wife cracks that whip pretty good, right?
1:22:12🔗AdamKeeps a little fire burning under you. And they're sort of right. You do kind of need to go out and air it out every once in a while. Not as much as they want it, but every once in a while. Tony Hawk is our guest tonight. We're going to take ourselves a little break. When we come back, we'll speak to Andrew. He's 19. He just found out his girlfriend slept with another guy and jumped in front of a bus. Who jumped in front of the bus, he did or she did? And we'll find out after this.
1:22:39🔗CallerLoveline, Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm back in a minute.
1:23:20🔗AdamHype? All right, we on the air? Yeah, there we go. It's the only radio show that doesn't act like a radio show, ladies and gentlemen. It is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew. Tony Hawk is our guest tonight. Tony has been on the show a few times. You know him from, oh, every X game in the world. And what about doing the commentating this year? Is that something you enjoyed?
1:23:45🔗Tony HawkYeah, it was pretty fun. It was kind of challenging to try to make up the banter instead of just actually being interviewed. But, you know, I got to lend my expertise and just talk about the stuff I was really familiar with. So that was a lot of fun for me.
1:23:58🔗AdamAnd yeah, I saw you on it, I think it was the night before last. I'm trying to remember.
1:24:06🔗AdamIt was definitely, maybe it was Monday night. I don't remember. Anyway, you seem pretty poised. You seem pretty comfortable. Oh, thanks.
1:24:17🔗Tony HawkAs long as I'm talking shop, I can do it.
1:24:19🔗AdamRight. Yeah, I guess so. You know the problem, I swear to God, it's the worst thing I do. And it's the only thing I don't like about this job is having to talk to a whole bunch of different people about a whole bunch of different stuff that either I don't know about or I don't care about. I'm interested in my skateboarding, skateboarding for instance. Yes, good, good, yes. No, I, listen, I can relate to that. I've seen enough of it and this is, I'm a relative expert in this field compared to half the S we talk about. Imagine if you had to interview people who are on TV shows that you've never seen before. Right. Constantly. You don't even know what part they played. And producer Ann gave you the wrong network in the wrong time. Which I think she does on purpose so I can yell that over there. It's really horrible. I want a place where I can talk about my high school football stories and how my family screwed me.
1:25:13🔗DrewSpeaking of talking about things, somebody was telling me that they believe you still can get the HIV blood test from pharmacies, these little pinprick tests that I thought were not available anymore. So that guy may have been truthful so we have our guilty of it.
1:25:28🔗AdamWell, I'm sure he's already killed himself a long time ago. Speaking of killing themselves, Andrew?
1:26:03🔗AdamI'm not picturing that one. Which bus is that? It's like no bus I've heard of.
1:26:09🔗CallerWell, how did I survive? I guess by the grace of God, man. You know, I'm happy I'm alive now, but you know, I was with this girl for four years.
1:26:18🔗AdamWell, hold on. To be fair to God, the bus wasn't moving. It was just actually parked.
1:26:23🔗DrewBut this is a classic case of what happens when you don't listen to reality.
1:26:28🔗DrewI'm sure she was one of the guys. Hold on a second.
1:26:30🔗Tony HawkHe needed one of those, I'm Serious.
1:26:32🔗AdamYeah, you could have used one of your three. Was the bus, how fast was the bus going?
1:26:40🔗CallerIt was going at full speed. We have witnesses and they said that I flew at least five or six feet. And I suffered a concussion. I have stitches in my face.
1:26:52🔗AdamFull speed is, you know, 65 miles an hour.
1:26:54🔗Tony HawkAnd it would not be five or six feet.
1:26:57🔗AdamWhat was it? And listen, I spoke to God the other day. He didn't seem to know you. I brought up your name. I don't know if you're just using the name for the radio. Maybe there's some confusion. What's your real name?
1:27:39🔗AdamOkay, but you're very upset. Yeah. Now, what do you want to do?
1:27:45🔗CallerThe thing is, after I got out of the hospital and everything, she called me up and told me that it wasn't true and everything. Because I've seen the guy before, I've seen her in a car with a dude, and I went and I talked to him, and he said he didn't know anything about me.
1:28:03🔗AdamAll right. Listen, Andrew, are you guys still together or what's the deal?
1:28:44🔗AdamYeah. Okay. It's tough. Everyone's been through it. I swear to Christ, I almost wanted to kill myself many, many times in this position, but it's life and you really-
1:28:57🔗AdamI hate to quote, Drew, but you have to accept the reality on reality's terms. How's that go?
1:29:03🔗DrewYeah. This is what happens when you don't. You're shocked when somebody actually does something that's not consistent with the way you're trying to make reality conform.
1:29:12🔗AdamRight. Here's the bottom line with this. It's like anything that is bad in your life, even though it's bad, it can still be worse. It's like cancer is bad. Denying you have cancer and not getting chemo, worse. You go to the doctor and this is exactly what this is. He drops a bomb on you and tells you something you don't want to hear. In this case, it ain't cancer. It's I want to break up with you. Your reaction is hold your ears, pretend it didn't happen and go home and threaten to kill yourself if he calls you again.
1:29:46🔗Tony HawkJumping from a bus that's about to stop.
1:29:48🔗AdamOr jump in front of a stopping bus. The point is, is you can get a little chemo, you can get a little therapy, you can beat it and in six months you can be living your life again. Or you can drag this thing out for a nice slow death. Guys do this, I think more than women do. We have an amazing capacity for this and maybe it's pride. I don't know. I don't know what it is. It's a certain tenacity that guys have and it's guys are a little more delusional in many ways.
1:30:21🔗AdamThan women but we've all been through it. Tony hasn't because he turned pro when he was 14. He never had to deal with this. He was on the circuit banging pit girls or whatever. Pit girls. Half pipe bitches or whatever. Whatever you nail out on the circuit. But the point is is Drew and I were civilians and we had to go through this and it's very painful. You're in a lot of denial. But what, Drew, give this person 15 seconds of your best advice.
1:30:50🔗DrewThat this is an important part of development. You've got to get through it. You'll look back on this and you will be glad that you let this one go.
1:31:05🔗AdamThere you go. Leonard, you're 14. I want to say one other quick thing about this. I was just talking to a buddy of mine tonight who got dumped by his girl. Here's the bottom line with this stuff. Bob, you don't know him. I know it sounds like I'm making his name up. But the point is this. I said to him, when a woman dumps you, and then when anyone dumps anyone saying, hey, I need space, I need to breathe, I need to find myself, here's the bottom line.
1:31:34🔗AdamThey want out, they want out. When somebody dumps you and says, hey, I asked you, this is the 10th time I asked you to put down the bottle, you won't stop, it's coming between us, and I'm not looking back this time. Okay, now that's something you can do. You can stop drinking and maybe salvage the relationship. Or you bang her sister, you can send her enough flowers, apologize enough, maybe you can salvage that one. But when someone says, I'm just in a place right now, or I need to do this right now, or I just came out of a long this, or blah, blah, blah, blah, that is done and there's no, they're being nice and there's no arguing that away.
1:32:17🔗DrewWell, there's endless arguing away, but don't do it.
1:32:19🔗AdamYou'll never win. It's the Rubik's Cube of arguments. Leonard?
1:32:24🔗I'm calling for Tony Hawk. I'm like your biggest fan. I've been a fan of yours since the search for Animal Tent. It's my favorite video.
1:32:52🔗I was calling because I read in the Concrete Wave that in a contest in 1993, they said that Danny Way also landed in 900. What was that true or what was that all about?
1:33:03🔗Tony HawkDanny tried it for a video. Actually, it was before 93, I think it was-
1:33:09🔗Tony HawkYeah, for the H Street video. He was the first guy to ever spin it. He spun it and got, I think his board on the wall and then he fell. A lot of people, they showed it in a video and they cut it off as he was about to land.
1:33:28🔗Tony HawkYeah, so that's it. He was the first guy to really, really go for it. I got to give him credit for it. He was so young then too. He was two or three years younger than me.
1:33:39🔗AdamHey, Leonard? I'm going to hang up on you now, right?
1:33:42🔗Tony, can I get an autograph sticker or something, please?
1:33:45🔗Tony HawkSure, go to clubtonyhawk.com and send a request. We'll send you one.
1:33:49🔗AdamHey, I know you've relived this a thousand times, but last year, I was thinking about this while I was watching the competition last night on the X Games. It was like you were trying to hit the 900 after, I mean, after your run, right?
1:34:09🔗Tony HawkI mean, that was after the allotted time for the Best Trick event.
1:34:12🔗AdamRight. And they just sort of let you go with it.
1:34:14🔗Tony HawkThey just let me go. I didn't really think it was going to count for the competition, and I didn't really care. I was so close that I was just going to keep going.
1:34:23🔗AdamBut, I mean, weren't the other people pissed off that you got like eight tries at something after your lifetime?
1:34:29🔗Tony HawkIt was really, I mean, honestly, it was a collective effort. It was like all of my peers there and all the other pros were really backing me.
1:34:36🔗AdamBut it was interesting and it was an interesting little piece of sort of surreal time because it wasn't part of the event. It was like it was after his time. It's like he kept going and the crowd was going nuts. And I guess that's what made it really cool. But I was trying to break it down and I was just trying to figure out why they let you keep.
1:34:55🔗Tony HawkBut that's really, I think it just shows the spirit of skateboarding. It's not about the competition.
1:35:11🔗CallerLoveline, Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. Uh, back in a minute.
