1:13🔗 Voiceover Ah, we're back here, it's Loveline. 1-800-LOVE-191, Adam Corolla is not here. I'm Stryker in again with Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist.

1:22🔗 Stryker Michael, what's going on?

1:24🔗 Adam Not much, I'm just like, speeding here, 405 Freeway was packed.

1:28🔗 Stryker Oh no.

1:29🔗 Adam Eating nuts outside, there's red vines, you're drinking out of the VIP glass, and did you get a haircut?

1:36🔗 Stryker What was that?

1:37🔗 Adam He thinks I'm sniffing stuff at the nighttime.

1:38🔗 Stryker Oh, you're speeding, so you're speeding, right?

1:40🔗 Adam Yeah, like last night.

1:41🔗 Stryker Oh, sure. Oh, I'm feeling it. I get haircuts all the time.

1:42🔗 Adam Did you get a haircut?

1:43🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:43🔗 Adam It's looking, you look, you're a handsome man, but it's looking a little short.

1:47🔗 Stryker Oh, really?

1:47🔗 Adam Yeah, a little bit.

1:48🔗 Drew All right.

1:48🔗 Adam It looks like I could just pick it off your head right now. Dupe-ish kind of.

1:52🔗 Stryker Oh, it's not.

1:53🔗 Adam Yeah. I know it's not a dupe, but it kind of looks like one.

1:56🔗 Stryker That's nice.

1:56🔗 Adam All right. So I just got here literally two minutes ago. The guests, The Living End, the punk man from Australia, were they here and you sent them out somewhere?

2:03🔗 Stryker No, Anderson did. This is a sort of reenactment of what happened with Cisco. Cisco showed up early. So Anderson said, hey, you better find some else to do. Our guests are so thrilled to be here that when you send them away, they just figure out to go back.

2:15🔗 Adam Well, The Living End are big drinkers.

2:17🔗 Stryker Oh, no.

2:17🔗 Adam I bet you right now, they are guzzling some Australian beer, Fosters.

2:22🔗 Stryker No, Ozzy is drinking hard. No way.

2:24🔗 Adam They could drink all of us, you know, of course. Right. So take some calls before The Living End gets here. If you guys want to speak to The Living End, feel free to ask them anything you want. 1-800-LOVE-191 is a number or ask anything else you want. I will try not to suck too bad. All right. We'll start with Joanna. Hi. You're 20. I'm Loveline. Go ahead.

2:44🔗 Caller I'm just calling to ask if it's safe to have anal sex because every time I do that, the next day I'll start bleeding. And I don't know why. I've been doing that for seven years.

2:55🔗 Stryker You've been. Wait, wait, wait. You've been having anal sex since you were 13?

2:58🔗 Caller Yes.

2:59🔗 Adam With who at 13?

3:03🔗 Caller Well, with my husband.

3:04🔗 Adam At 13? Wait. The guy you're married to now is who you were with at 13? And at 13, how old is he now? So he was 18. And he was trying to do it in a booty then?

3:18🔗 Stryker He was 18. You were 13?

3:21🔗 Adam There's something goofy with him.

3:22🔗 Stryker Well, he's a despicable asshole. But aside from that, something up with Joanna, that she would be with an 18 year old and marry him and have, you know, submit anal sex at 13. That's bizarre.

3:31🔗 Adam But how many kids do you have?

3:33🔗 Stryker None. Oh, God bless you.

3:34🔗 Caller Yes.

3:35🔗 Stryker But be that as it may, I hope you're taking your iron because you can certainly lose a fair amount that way. Secondly, you need to see a doctor. They need to look in there and see where that bleeding is coming from.

3:45🔗 Caller Do you think something's wrong?

3:47🔗 Stryker Yeah. Bleeding means something's wrong. It doesn't mean something's right. It means something's wrong. Right. It can be fissures, tears, hemorrhoids, polyps, colitis. A lot of different things can cause that bleeding. It needs to be checked out.

3:59🔗 Adam It's not safe to be doing it in the booty, is it? Dr. Drew, if you take the proper, like use the lubricant.

4:05🔗 Stryker The point is, S happens. I mean, how can I say that better about this particular act? Stuff goes down. Things happen to people when they mess around.

4:16🔗 Right.

4:17🔗 Caller Okay, but is it safe to do it that way?

4:21🔗 Adam It could cause fissures, hemorrhoids, colitis. You've got to be careful. And if you're bleeding over and over, I would probably stop, if not slow down and wait till it heals up and then try it again later.

4:31🔗 Stryker You get looked at so you know what you're dealing with there and then you can decide whether or not you've caused some harm. You can hurt yourself, yes.

4:37🔗 Adam The good news is you won't get pregnant if he, does you know what, up the booty, correct Dr. Drew?

4:43🔗 Stryker Stryker, you're a genius.

4:43🔗 Adam I am a freaking genius. All right.

4:46🔗 But is it safe?

4:50🔗 Caller Very good. Jason?

4:52🔗 Yo.

4:52🔗 Adam What's up, man? You're 23 on Loveline.

4:54🔗 Caller That is correct. Yeah.

4:56🔗 Adam Good.

4:57🔗 Caller I have a question for Dr. Drew or pretty much whoever might have a philosophy on this particular subject.

5:05🔗 Stryker Jason, you're freaking me out already.

5:07🔗 Caller Oh, really?

5:07🔗 Stryker What's up?

5:08🔗 Caller Yeah. I can get myself oral sex. I was wondering if y'all would consider that as gay or bisexual or anything like that.

5:20🔗 Adam Only if you swallow your own semen.

5:23🔗 Caller Well, I did the first time, but I'm excited that it was rather disgusting.

5:27🔗 Stryker Thank you, Jason, just for all of our sensibility.

5:29🔗 Adam Well, if you've only done it once and you don't do it, I'd say you're normal. If I could do that, for Christ's sake. Oh, my God. I would do it every time. Hey, boys. Chris.

5:39🔗 Stryker Hey. They may want to have a little ring, you know. Yeah.

5:42🔗 Adam Jason, can you hold on one sec? Sure. All right. We got two-thirds of The Living End coming in here. We're old mates, you know.

5:47🔗 Caller We are, mate.

5:48🔗 Adam How are you? We got a half of The Living End. What's up? Yeah, we got the better half. Where is, is it Scott? No, Travis is missing. Travis is missing. All right. Travis is the drummer.

5:58🔗 Drew He should be getting to the Canadian border about now, and I reckon they're going to turn him away.

6:02🔗 Adam You think so?

6:03🔗 Drew I don't reckon they'll let him in.

6:04🔗 Adam He's got something hidden on him, right? He's holding.

6:06🔗 Caller Oh, it's just that he looks like a serial killer.

6:09🔗 Drew Between him and our road crew, there's no chance.

6:10🔗 Adam There you go. Well, The Living End, you guys, they're from Australia. They are an amazing punk band. I don't know how, with just three guys, they get the sound they do. But it's unbelievable. Roll On is the CD that's out. The first song is great. Pictures in the mirror. The second song kicks ass. And just to give you a refresher course, you guys in Radioland, they don't know who The Living End are. Can you play a quick clip of... No, he's shaking his head. Of Prison Society? No, he's putting it in there. We'll get to that in a minute.

6:35🔗 Drew We'll put him on the spot.

6:36🔗 Adam Yeah, we'll put him on the spot. So you guys, we were just talking to this guy, and he was asking... He gives himself...

6:41🔗 Stryker Let him ask the questions of these guys.

6:44🔗 Adam Okay, put on the headphones, you've got to mess up the do. Jason, ask The Living End the question you just asked Drew and I.

6:51🔗 Caller Hey, Living End, how's it going, guys?

6:53🔗 Drew Good, how are you?

6:54🔗 Caller Pretty good.

6:56🔗 Caller Pretty good, but you're ringing up to complain to a radio station.

6:59🔗 Caller Yeah, yeah, it's great. What is it?

7:01🔗 Caller What's the problem?

7:02🔗 Caller Well, I can like get myself oral sex and I was wondering if you guys think that's gay or bi.

7:10🔗 Stryker So far, they look impressed.

7:11🔗 Drew I think you're very gifted, my son, definitely. What do you think, Scott?

7:15🔗 Caller I think the circuses will be chasing you.

7:19🔗 Stryker Yeah, it has nothing to do with sexual preference.

7:22🔗 Caller I don't think it's a bad thing.

7:25🔗 Stryker Well, I'm sort of wondering why Jason does this if it freaks him out so much.

7:30🔗 Caller Yeah, don't do it.

7:30🔗 Adam Because he can do it.

7:32🔗 Drew Yeah, I don't think because if it's there...

7:34🔗 Stryker Yeah, but he has other ways of doing that without seemingly doing something that disturbs him so much.

7:38🔗 Adam Jason, can you do it because you're so big or because you can can tort yourself like a pretzel?

7:44🔗 Caller Not really like pretzel. I mean, I'm pretty flexible.

7:46🔗 Adam Yeah.

7:47🔗 Caller I got like seven and a quarter down there, but I mean, it's not like it's huge or anything.

7:52🔗 Caller No, that's not, you know.

7:53🔗 Caller I just I can stretch myself pretty well.

7:56🔗 Adam I would say you're fine and everyone says you're fine. Just don't swallow your own stuff.

8:01🔗 Caller I heard it tastes good, though.

8:02🔗 Stryker It has nothing.

8:03🔗 Caller Oh, I don't have.

8:04🔗 Caller Women have told me it tastes, some women say they like the sweet taste.

8:08🔗 Adam We were talking about this last night.

8:09🔗 Caller Maybe it's just me, but.

8:11🔗 Stryker Marshmallows and strawberries, that's what it is. You have to eat pineapple. But Jason, it just has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Now, you may be gay. We don't we don't explore whether you are or aren't, but nothing to do with that weird habit.

8:20🔗 Adam You sure about that?

8:22🔗 Stryker Yeah.

8:22🔗 Adam Chris from The Living End, have you ever tried to do that in the history of your living? Try to get your mouth down there.

8:27🔗 Drew No, I'm not I'm not very flexible at all. But you know, I say to this guy you know if you can't if you can't please yourself, and if you can't give yourself a pat on the back or a whatever else right then who's gonna?

8:39🔗 Stryker There you go.

8:39🔗 Adam I agree.

8:40🔗 Stryker A spank. Yeah, not flexible. That's what it is.

8:43🔗 Adam Yeah. Yeah, of course.

8:44🔗 Stryker If I could do it for God's sakes, it's not the size of the flexibility.

8:48🔗 Drew Yeah, that's right.

8:49🔗 Adam The size of the flexibility. All right, get a quick clip of Prisoner's Society. Sorry to brand you guys with just this song, but most people know you from this.

8:59🔗 Drew It's all right.

9:00🔗 Adam It's a live version on the new album. But listen to this, you guys, for just a quick second. Yes, that song is just every time you guys play that. You know, I saw your first US show ever in New Orleans. Wasn't that there?

9:23🔗 Caller That's right, it was House of Blues.

9:26🔗 Adam House of Blues show, yeah.

9:27🔗 Caller I was there, that thing, yeah.

9:29🔗 Adam Yeah, I flew out there and saw you guys years ago.

9:31🔗 Caller Oh, wow.

9:31🔗 Adam Yeah, it was really cool.

9:32🔗 Caller You're welcome.

9:33🔗 Drew Thank you.

9:33🔗 Adam So, The Living End is here and let's grab that guy over there.

9:37🔗 Caller Is that cool? All right.

9:38🔗 Adam Hey, Jeremy.

9:39🔗 Yeah, hey, what's up?

9:40🔗 Adam What's up? You're 15, on with The Living End.

9:42🔗 Caller Yeah, hey guys, what's up?

9:44🔗 Drew Hey, how you going, all right?

9:45🔗 Caller Pretty good.

9:46🔗 Dude, you guys are like one of my favorite bands of all time. I mean, when Pruders in Our Society came out as a single on the radio in like 98 or 99 or whatever, it's automatically hooked and I went out and I haven't gotten a new album yet.

9:58🔗 I've heard some of it. It's really good.

10:00🔗 Drew Come on, what are you waiting for?

10:02🔗 What's that?

10:02🔗 Drew What are you waiting for?

10:03🔗 I'm going to get it as soon as I get some money, man.

10:05🔗 Drew Yeah, it's much better than the first one.

10:06🔗 I'm a little teenage. Oh, I love the first one though.

10:09🔗 Caller Thank you.

10:09🔗 Drew Cool.

10:09🔗 Adam You got a question for the guys? You just want to do take care of their oral sex.

10:15🔗 Well, I have just a question about like, is there, are there any other like, you know, punk bands that really haven't been discovered in Australia that really deserve to be?

10:25🔗 Caller Yeah, yeah, there's tons of them. There's tons of them that haven't been able to, you know, haven't had the money or the opportunity or whatever to come over here and tour and stuff. But yeah, there's a huge scene for it in Australia. You know, it's like anywhere in the US, I guess. It's kind of like LA or whatever, you know. There's a really big kind of underground scene. There's a lot of bands that have been around for years and years doing that kind of music but just really kind of haven't broken out of Australia or out of the cities that they live in or whatever. So yeah, there's all kind of good stuff going on in Australia that the rest of the world doesn't know about.

11:00🔗 Adam Can you name one or two bands? Maybe Jeremy, he seems like a plus for us.

11:03🔗 Caller Well, there's a band, the first band that springs to mind is a band called Body Jar from Melbourne who have been around for years and years and years. They've got about three or four records out and they're going to be here in the summer actually for the first time on the Warp Tour. They're doing some of the Warp Tour and they're also opening up for Blink 182. As far as I'm concerned, they kind of stand up on a worldwide scale as one of the better kind of poppy punk rock kind of bands.

11:30🔗 Adam Wow, long answer, long winded, but good answer. I'm proud of you.

11:35🔗 Caller They will set a good example.

11:36🔗 Adam Very cool. Let's speak to Victor. What's up? You're 15 on Loveline with The Living End.

11:43🔗 Caller What's up, Stryker?

11:43🔗 Adam Nothing, man.

11:44🔗 Stryker How are you?

11:44🔗 Caller I'm alright. Cool. I kind of lied about my question.

11:49🔗 Stryker Uh-oh.

11:50🔗 Caller Drew, I was kind of wondering.

11:52🔗 Caller Two questions for you.

11:54🔗 One, I wanted to know long term effects, if any, of mixing Tylenol and alcohol.

12:00🔗 Stryker Well, if you're drinking lots of alcohol...

12:02🔗 Caller Well, it was one night.

12:04🔗 Stryker It was around... In a single night, that typically doesn't do anything. It provides you taking usual doses of Tylenol. Listen, eight Tylenol can kill you.

12:11🔗 Caller Well, I took ten.

12:13🔗 Stryker No way! So, yeah, Tylenol is a very toxic drug. What happens is, it very easily exceeds your liver's capacity to metabolize it, and the remainder gets shunted into a metabolic pathway that creates a very, very toxic chemical, and your liver will shut down in about three days. Now, if you're lucky, you make it through that. Some people... It's different for different people, how much they take and how high their blood levels get. Some people have to take 30 or 40 before they really get that toxic effect. But eight can kill you. And if you're a heavy drinker, to burn a heavy drinker for a long time, that enzymatic machinery that's there to metabolize the ethyl amyl or the acetaminophen is actually reduced, so you're more likely to get that toxic drug. So that's the problem with using it without alcohol.

12:52🔗 Adam That's eight at one time, just swallowing it in.

12:54🔗 Drew Yeah, yeah. All right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I was sick, actually, last time we were here in New York, and I was down in those suckers like nothing else. And man, I felt good. You know, I really did feel good. And so Chris, don't try that at home.

13:07🔗 Adam Last time I saw you guys, Scott and Chris, you guys were pretty drunk. You were downstairs in the building. Remember that before you came up?

13:13🔗 Stryker Yeah, yeah.

13:14🔗 Drew And now we've been across the road.

13:16🔗 Stryker You were taking plain Tylenol or Tylenol number three?

13:19🔗 Drew I don't know.

13:20🔗 Stryker Yeah. Probably something a little more than just Tylenol.

13:22🔗 Drew Yeah.

13:22🔗 Adam If it's white and it's round, they swallow it.

13:23🔗 Stryker Your manager was giving it to you.

13:25🔗 Drew Yeah, yeah.

13:25🔗 Caller It came in a brown paper bag.

13:28🔗 Stryker Nice.

13:29🔗 Adam That wasn't Tylenol.

13:31🔗 Caller Hi.

13:31🔗 Drew Hi.

13:32🔗 Adam You're 28 on Loveline. What's up?

13:33🔗 Caller Yes. I'm sorry Adam's not here because I think he would get a kick out of it. I'm an update call. Dr. Drew, do you remember I'm the girl with the two-way Yasa Sopo?

13:43🔗 Stryker No.

13:44🔗 Caller Do you remember that as my code word for sex? No. Adam just went crazy.

13:48🔗 Stryker Kind of.

13:49🔗 Caller Okay. No, I'm the girl that had sexual abuse and I was getting freaky with my boyfriend and we were doing like S&M stuff and two-way Yasa Sopo was our code word.

13:57🔗 Stryker Oh, I do remember that. I do remember that, yes.

14:00🔗 Caller And Adam was like, I can't even say two-way Yasa.

14:03🔗 Caller The Living End just freaked out when they heard that.

14:05🔗 Drew S&M! You guys are ventriloquists. Yeah, he is good.

14:08🔗 Caller Okay. No, the update is I started a therapy, which is what you told me to do.

14:11🔗 Stryker Great. Great.

14:12🔗 Caller And it's getting better, but now the main issue is I have a control issue and I was wondering like if things don't, it's like almost OCD. If things aren't the way that I want them to be, if my lawn isn't mowed a certain way.

14:24🔗 Adam Which lawn?

14:26🔗 Caller The lawn in my house.

14:27🔗 Stryker Okay. That's not almost OCD. That is OCD.

14:29🔗 Caller Well, if my lawn isn't mowed a certain way, like my sister mowed it, I'll just go out and do it again.

14:34🔗 Stryker Yeah, that's OCD.

14:35🔗 Caller And it's not with everything and I wonder if the control is from the abuse because I didn't have any control about the abuse.

14:40🔗 Stryker Yeah, you can explore what the OCD means to you, but it's that quality you're certainly developing, probably because something you're getting into is more troubling to you than you might otherwise understand.

14:48🔗 Adam Who owns a lawnmower? You own a lawnmower?

14:50🔗 Caller No, I own the one you push by real. I've got a 5,000 square foot lot and I mow it by hand like every two days.

14:56🔗 Drew Wow, bloody Nora.

14:59🔗 Caller And that's because I like to garden, that's my pastime.

15:02🔗 Adam What's your favorite fruit to garden?

15:04🔗 Caller I have blueberries and I have a vegetable patch, I have a lot of perennials, a lot of stuff. I don't have OCD about everything.

15:11🔗 Stryker I understand, but just understand that your therapy is certainly beginning to scratch some stuff.

15:17🔗 Caller I've always had these problems. I was the oldest and I was always put in control and responsible for all my other stuff.

15:23🔗 Stryker I understand, and that's a way of managing feelings for you. As these feelings start to surface, it's hard to know what symptoms you're going to get, but clearly something's happening.

15:31🔗 Caller It doesn't make me happy to do it. It just makes me anxiety level push down.

15:34🔗 Stryker That's the point. It helps you manage feelings.

15:37🔗 Caller I can just let go. But I don't know what feelings I'm managing.

15:40🔗 Stryker Well, that's right. That's what you'll figure out in therapy over the next few months.

15:42🔗 Caller Okay.

15:42🔗 Adam All right, Zoe.

15:43🔗 Caller Okay, good. Thank you very much.

15:45🔗 Adam Chris from the Living End said if you ever need your lawn mowed, he'll do it for you.

15:48🔗 Caller I don't think enough.

15:49🔗 Drew It's a ride on. It's a ride on mow, right?

15:51🔗 Adam I'm sure it is.

15:52🔗 Caller I don't think enough people take pride in their gardens.

15:54🔗 Drew No?

15:55🔗 Caller No.

15:55🔗 Adam You guys have a lot of gardens out in Australia?

15:57🔗 Caller Well, we have some beautiful gardens out in the suburbs. Yeah.

16:00🔗 Drew Well, Victoria is the garden state.

16:01🔗 Caller It's the garden state that we live in.

16:03🔗 Adam Okay.

16:04🔗 Caller It is.

16:04🔗 Adam Is that near where, I don't know if you've heard this question, is that near where Survivor was filmed, where you guys are from in Australia?

16:10🔗 Drew No. That's the Outback, right? I haven't even watched that show, but that's like Alice Springs kind of airs rock.

16:15🔗 Adam Like kangaroos hopping around on the road. Is that how it is?

16:18🔗 Drew Not where we live.

16:18🔗 Adam Okay, no. It's just a normal city with night gardens. Is that it?

16:22🔗 Drew You can go to the zoo and see a kangaroo.

16:24🔗 Adam Yeah, that's true. We got one out here. All right. You guys listen to Loveline, and The Living End is here, and we'll talk to Stephen.

16:30🔗 Yes.

16:30🔗 Adam What's up? You're 25.

16:32🔗 Caller Yes. My wife and I have been married for two years now, and at first we were having sex with condoms, and just recently she switched over to birth control pills, and now when we have sex without condoms, she complains about 12 to 24 hours or so after we have sex that she kind of feels a little sore, kind of uncomfortable down in that area, and she's wondering if perhaps she could have an allergic reaction to my semen.

17:03🔗 Stryker There is such a thing, but why not maybe they're being an infection?

17:07🔗 Caller Well, this is something that's been going on for a couple months or so.

17:11🔗 Stryker Oh, still she should get checked.

17:13🔗 Caller If we don't have sex, if we have sex with condoms, it doesn't bother her, but if we have sex without condoms...

17:19🔗 Stryker But that's the point. Maybe it's not an allergic reaction. Maybe she has some sort of vaginitis that's been there all along, and whenever something else gets in there, it causes some irritation.

17:26🔗 Caller Okay.

17:27🔗 Stryker So she hasn't had a pelvic exam this year?

17:30🔗 Adam She hasn't had one since 86.

17:31🔗 Stryker Yeah, it's time to go get it checked out.

17:33🔗 Caller Not recently.

17:33🔗 Stryker All right, well, she's got to get checked out.

17:35🔗 Caller Okay.

17:35🔗 Stryker All right, maybe there is such a thing as allergy, and it's kind of rare, but it happens.

17:39🔗 Caller Okay.

17:40🔗 Drew Good luck.

17:40🔗 Caller Thanks.

17:41🔗 Adam Yeah, I hope she can take the semen at some point.

17:45🔗 Drew We all hope that.

17:46🔗 Stryker Well, they're very poetic there, Stryker.

17:49🔗 Adam Jay, I'm not in here for nothing, Drew, you bastard.

17:53🔗 Caller Not just a pretty face.

17:54🔗 Stryker Exactly.

17:55🔗 Adam Jay, what's up? You're 14 on Loveline.

17:58🔗 Caller Yeah, I love living in.

18:02🔗 Caller I was at the Palace on the 11th.

18:03🔗 Stryker Okay, cool.

18:04🔗 Caller Watch you guys, it was great. Thank you. You didn't play like my favorite, like, read about it and...

18:10🔗 Adam Pictures in the Mirror?

18:11🔗 Caller No, you played that.

18:12🔗 I just like, read about it.

18:13🔗 Caller That was like my favorite.

18:15🔗 Drew And we didn't play it. Sorry.

18:16🔗 That's terrible, you guys.

18:17🔗 Adam Well, they maybe were going to come to your house and play it tomorrow.

18:22🔗 Caller That'd be the best.

18:23🔗 Adam So you have a question for the guys?

18:24🔗 Caller Yeah, just, what instance do you guys have when you write your music?

18:29🔗 You know, like, what do you do with that?

18:32🔗 Drew I mean, musically, probably kind of anything over the last 50 years, really, we draw a lot of influences from jazz and blues and country, obviously, like punk and rockabilly and stuff. And I don't know, I guess lyrically, just kind of everyday sort of situations and stuff like that. We try and write stuff that's kind of honest and stuff that's real rather than kind of making it up.

18:55🔗 Adam You guys are from Australia. The Ramones were from New York. Did they have much influence on you out there?

19:02🔗 Caller No.

19:03🔗 Drew Well, I like the Ramones a lot, you know, but personally, I was never a huge fan, you know, never kind of... I was too busy listening to kind of the 50s stuff, you know. That was kind of my punk rock, you know. But I really admire the Ramones. I think they're an extremely important band.

19:17🔗 Adam And you guys out there, they don't know of The Living End. They're a three-piece band. And Scott, you play a stand-up bass.

19:23🔗 Caller That's right.

19:24🔗 Adam How did that... Why did you decide to go that route instead of, I guess, just the, whatever, the six-stringer?

19:30🔗 Stryker The one he played.

19:31🔗 Caller I guess it just comes from the 50s thing, you know? You're like being into 50s rock and roll and rockabilly and that kind of thing. Although, you know, Bill Haley and The Comets and Elvis and Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent and Eddie Cocker and all those guys had stand-up bass players. And that was the kind of music I was into when I started playing. So it was just, if you're going to play in a rockabilly band, you've got to play a stand-up bass.

19:51🔗 Adam There you go. And you bounce on that thing. You pounce on it. You jump on it. It's really cool.

19:54🔗 Caller It's more fun than your regular bass.

19:56🔗 Drew He's quite a contortionist himself.

19:58🔗 Adam Is your bass allergic to your semen?

20:02🔗 Caller We're not that close.

20:03🔗 Drew Okay, good.

20:03🔗 Caller Hey, Eek.

20:04🔗 Adam Oh, what's up? What's up? You're on with The Living End.

20:06🔗 Caller Oh my god, you guys rule. I got a question for the bass player. Thanks, Eek.

20:10🔗 Caller But I got a question for Stryker first.

20:12🔗 Adam Uh-oh, yeah?

20:13🔗 Caller Are you a DJ at an LA rock station?

20:15🔗 Caller Yeah.

20:16🔗 Caller Do you guys play heavy stuff there, head punk?

20:19🔗 Adam Yeah, we do.

20:20🔗 Caller Yeah, because I'm here in San Francisco and at Live 105, they don't play any heavy stuff there.

20:24🔗 Caller They just play weak rock.

20:26🔗 Adam Well, you better call Aaron up and tell him.

20:28🔗 Caller Yeah, I tried telling him, but he said, like, the musical director, we only want to play, like, Everclear and some other stuff.

20:34🔗 Drew Oh, man, that's dog-ass.

20:35🔗 Stryker I like Everclear. But listen, you guys...

20:36🔗 Adam You're 50 years old, Drew!

20:37🔗 Stryker I was going to say, that probably says it all right there. But listen, they have a thing, was it Sunday night, with the college students put on?

20:44🔗 Caller Yeah, but that's like two hours, and then when you try to request some heavy stuff, they don't want to play. They're like, they don't want to play white zombie.

20:53🔗 Adam Oh man, well, eek, if I was there, I'd help you, but unfortunately, I'm here and maybe they just heard you. But if you want to talk to the Living End, man, take it away.

20:59🔗 Caller Oh, the bass player, you're amazing.

21:01🔗 Caller Whoa, thank you.

21:03🔗 Caller How could you play a big bass and rock out at the same time? Can I play just a regular bass and when I saw you live, I got to learn how to play that. How do you do it?

21:11🔗 Caller It is a very physically demanding instrument to play. It is a matter of having bruised fingers all the time and blistered fingers all the time. But, I don't know, there is something, I don't know, there is adrenaline pumping when you are playing on stage. You really do feel quite invincible. So, you feel like you can manage pretty much anything, whether it is swinging a massive piece of wood above, six foot tall piece of wood above your head or standing on top of it. I don't know, something takes over and those things become possible. Very cool.

21:44🔗 Caller How long did it take you to master the big bass?

21:47🔗 Caller I think it takes a lifetime to master most musical instruments. So, I don't feel fit to answer that question, but thanks for asking.

21:58🔗 Caller How old? One last. Go ahead, E. Curry. How long have you been playing the big bass?

22:03🔗 Caller Been playing it? Well, I started playing that. I've never really played a standard electric bass. I've been playing for about eight years now. Very cool.

22:11🔗 Caller All right. We got to take a quick break.

22:13🔗 Adam Ike, thanks for calling from San Francisco. Tell Aaron Hello and to work on his three-point shooting. I'm Stryker in for Adam Corolla with Dr. Drew. Living End is hanging out and I guess we'll probably hear a little song probably roll on right after this on Loveline.

22:25🔗 Caller You know what I'm saying, I'm there.

22:26🔗 Caller Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back on Loveline.

23:01🔗 Caller Hey, we're back. It's Loveline.

23:04🔗 Adam 1-800-LOVE-191 is the number. Anderson's looking at me like a deer in headlights. I'm Stryker for Adam Corolla along with Dr. Drew. Two-thirds of The Living End are here. We got Scott, the big-ass bass player who will never master it.

23:16🔗 Caller I'll play the big-ass bass. Thank you.

23:18🔗 Adam That's right. I'll call it that all night long.

23:19🔗 Caller I have a normal-sized chair beneath me.

23:21🔗 Stryker Yeah. The point is, he's not the big-ass player.

23:24🔗 Caller Yeah, exactly.

23:25🔗 Stryker He plays the big-ass bass.

23:26🔗 Adam And Chris is here also, and we'll probably play a song with first, Isaac, who's 14, wants to talk to you about your band.

23:32🔗 Caller Hey, what's up, guys?

23:33🔗 Drew Hey, Isaac. How are you?

23:34🔗 Caller Good. How are you?

23:35🔗 Drew Good.

23:36🔗 Caller I saw you guys at the Fillmore last night.

23:38🔗 Drew Oh, okay.

23:39🔗 Adam In San Francisco?

23:40🔗 Caller Yep. Cool.

23:41🔗 Caller Good times.

23:41🔗 Adam You got a question or just a statement?

23:43🔗 Caller Yes, I do have a question. I have a bunch of questions, actually. But, um, all right, first question for The Living End. Are you guys playing with Green Day anytime soon? I heard that somewhere.

23:52🔗 Caller Yeah, we are. We're going to do the national tour. It starts mid-June and finishes at the end of July.

23:58🔗 Caller Nice, nice.

23:59🔗 Caller Yes.

24:00🔗 Caller Both my favorite bands. Great.

24:02🔗 Caller Awesome.

24:03🔗 Caller Yes, so, uh, also, uh, if later on this show, could you play Uncle Harry for the, like, on the music?

24:12🔗 Adam Well, I'm going to play the drums. Chris is going to play guitar and sing, and the big-ass bass, uh, will be with Scott. So, yeah, yeah, I think we'll do that.

24:19🔗 Caller Play Uncle Harry for us?

24:20🔗 Adam Yeah, yeah.

24:21🔗 Stryker Is Uncle Harry something radio appropriate?

24:23🔗 Adam No, I'm just messing around, Drew. All right, well, let's hear the title track from the new CD, which is out, and I hope there's people out there going, man, these guys are getting so many calls, my station's never even, you know, didn't play Prisoner Society, I don't know about this band, so check it out. This is Roll On from The Living End. Here we go. There is punk rock on Loveline for you guys. The Living End, that's Roll On. Yeah. The first song off the new CD Roll On, you guys should go check it out. That's The Living End. Now, I hear that song and I immediately think of the movie Gung Ho. You guys ever see that with Michael Keaton? It's about these guys that work in a car factory, and then they bring in Japanese things, and then these other guys want to quit their job, and then when they want to go back, these guys are doing their job better. Is that it?

28:08🔗 Stryker Thanks for sharing, Stryker.

28:10🔗 Adam Gung Ho is one of the best movies of all time.

28:12🔗 Stryker Evidently.

28:12🔗 Adam George Wendt watched this lady from eating Twinkies, and it's very funny.

28:16🔗 Drew I've never seen it. I'm going to check it out.

28:17🔗 Adam Yeah, you should go look. But is that song a true story? Like about a strike and people want to leave, and then they get back to work, and you meet your new replacement.

28:26🔗 Drew Well, basically, yeah, there was a big strike, and they kind of said, well, fine, if you're not going to work, we're going to bring in other people. It's like get back to work, or you'll make a new replacement. That's where that came from. So it's kind of a keep your chin up.

28:37🔗 Adam Definitely. And what's cool about your punk music is, it's not just about girls and beer, but about serious things, strikes and work and yeah.

28:46🔗 Drew Like I said before, it's kind of everyday stuff.

28:48🔗 Adam Cool. All right. Hey, Wayne.

28:50🔗 Yeah.

28:50🔗 Adam What's up? You're 26 on Loveline.

28:52🔗 Yeah, I am. Hey, Dr. Drew, you rock.

28:55🔗 Stryker Thank you. Wayne, what's going on there?

28:56🔗 Adam I'm no good, Wayne. We're going to put you on hold a minute.

28:58🔗 Stryker No, no.

28:58🔗 Adam I'm just kidding.

28:59🔗 Stryker Go ahead.

28:59🔗 Adam I'm just kidding. Go ahead.

29:00🔗 Caller Sorry about that.

29:02🔗 I got a problem. I am mentally addicted to hot sauce. This is no joke whatsoever. Any kind of peppers or anything, hot sauce? You know, I love it and I'm afraid that it's going to start hurting my body, my ulcers and stuff like that.

29:18🔗 Stryker No, it tends not to. You can get a little reflux from it. Do you have heartburn, that kind of thing?

29:22🔗 No, actually I don't. But I was also wondering, I was like reading in the magazine where they say hot sauce is actually good for you and everything.

29:30🔗 Stryker There is some theory about that and there are also theories that it releases endorphin. And so there could be a truly sort of addictive process, not per se, but sort of a facsimile of that. If indeed you have that gene, do you have addiction to alcohols in your family?

29:47🔗 No, not that I know of.

29:49🔗 Adam Do you have a Taco Bell in Kentucky, Wayne?

29:51🔗 Oh, I have plenty of them.

29:53🔗 Adam So you just load up on the hot sauce on your tacos?

29:56🔗 It's not that. It's like I go to the grocery store and I buy like a gallon of hot sauce, you know, twice a week and I go through it, you know. Any kind of peppers and you know I grow my own peppers and make my own hot sauces and I'm like obsessed about it.

30:09🔗 Caller There's nothing wrong with having a bit of spice in your life.

30:12🔗 Stryker Yeah, but Wayne's getting into full scale like, you know, sort of conflagration. Yeah, yeah.

30:17🔗 It's like that, you know, when you're an alcoholic, you build up this tolerance and I've built up this tolerance to all these peppers and hot sauces, you know, and you know, like a jalapeno would be nothing to me.

30:32🔗 Stryker So you can't taste things unless they're very highly spiced.

30:35🔗 Exactly.

30:36🔗 Stryker I would bet that if you took a couple weeks off, your taste would return. I don't know of any syndrome where you can actually destroy taste with that.

30:45🔗 Adam It's like masturbating too much. You do it, you do it, you do it. All of a sudden you get with the woman, you can't do anything, but you lay off for masturbating a week, you get with the woman, oh, you're in good.

30:53🔗 Stryker Something you want to share, Stryker?

30:53🔗 Adam No, I'm not going to share.

30:54🔗 Stryker Not right now.

30:56🔗 If I go a while and I don't have any, I start to crave it, I'll salivate, and you know, I've just got to have it.

31:01🔗 Stryker Yeah, yeah. Salivate. Yeah, this is an addictive kind of thing, but it's not truly an addiction, that there's not progression, there's not consequence, there's no genetic history, so it's just a very high compulsion.

31:13🔗 Adam Should he be careful that he could be doing something on the inside if he goes? He's only 26. Not that I'm aware of. Not that you're aware of.

31:19🔗 Stryker I don't know anything he can really truly do.

31:20🔗 Adam I'm not a doctor.

31:21🔗 Drew I bet he's a Donna Summer fan.

31:22🔗 It's not going to hurt me whatsoever.

31:24🔗 Stryker Yeah, I can't say not whatsoever, because I've never dealt with someone who would expose himself to this much. The hot issue is a chemical called capsaicin. That's where the sense of hot comes from. That's thought to be sort of an okay chemical.

31:36🔗 Adam Wayne, I'm no doctor. I'd be careful, though, okay?

31:39🔗 Stryker Too much of anything tends to be not so good.

31:42🔗 Adam I agree.

31:42🔗 Stryker Where are those chocolate raisins?

31:44🔗 Adam What do you mean by Donna Summer? What song was it by Donna Summer?

31:46🔗 Drew Isn't that a Donna Summer song? Hot Stuff Baby This Evening?

31:51🔗 Adam How does it go?

31:52🔗 Stryker Come on, get it, Anderson.

31:54🔗 Adam Anderson, anyone know? How does it go?

32:00🔗 Drew That's it!

32:00🔗 Adam I know that song.

32:01🔗 Drew Yeah.

32:02🔗 Adam I'm a huge Donna Summer Tony Orlando fan. Steve. Steve.

32:07🔗 How's it going?

32:08🔗 Adam What's up, man? You're 37 on Loveline.

32:10🔗 Caller Yeah, I have a couple of questions. Actually, first for the band.

32:15🔗 Caller How are you?

32:16🔗 Caller How's it going?

32:17🔗 Caller I was wondering if you heard Plonker.

32:19🔗 Caller They're from Darwin.

32:20🔗 Caller Plonker?

32:22🔗 Caller Yeah.

32:22🔗 Stryker Where's Darwin?

32:23🔗 Caller Darwin is in the Northern Territory. It's about 400 kilometers north of Ace Rock.

32:30🔗 Drew I haven't heard of them, but I'll tell you what.

32:31🔗 Stryker Why did you say so?

32:32🔗 Drew By Christ, I'm going to remember that name. That's a great name, especially for an Australian name.

32:36🔗 Stryker Does that mean something in Australian?

32:37🔗 Drew Well, Plonker is in a drink. I mean, that's the Australian thing.

32:41🔗 Adam It's like calling you a drunkard.

32:42🔗 Caller I guess if you're a Plonker, you're a drinker.

32:44🔗 Adam But it sounds like a fat woman actually. Look at that Plonker over there.

32:48🔗 Caller Actually, they're really good. A friend of mine is up there with them right now.

32:52🔗 Caller Cool.

32:54🔗 Stryker What else, Steve?

32:56🔗 Caller My actual question is, I went to get a tattoo recently and I have a lot of tattoos. I have hepatitis C. I was diagnosed back in the early 90s.

33:07🔗 Stryker You've been treated for it?

33:09🔗 Caller No, I have never been treated for it.

33:11🔗 Stryker Why not?

33:12🔗 Caller I didn't know there was any kind of treatment for it.

33:14🔗 Stryker Listen, if you have chronic C, you're going to get cirrhosis in all likelihood.

33:18🔗 Adam What is it? I'm not even sure I know what hepatitis is to begin with.

33:21🔗 Stryker It's a liver infection and there's three big types, A, B, and C. C is the one that has the highest likelihood to become chronic. When it becomes chronic, the very high likelihood of causing cirrhosis, especially if you drink. So you're going to get cirrhosis if you don't get it treated. There's interferon plus ribavirin. Take it for about three to six months, depending on what the plan is. It has a good likelihood of curing it.

33:43🔗 Caller Yeah. My big thing was that when I went to get the tattoos, a new tattoo, they were like treating it like I had AIDS.

33:51🔗 Stryker So let me get this straight. You really don't want to talk about curing this potentially fatal problem. You're interested in getting your tattoo.

33:56🔗 Caller No. No. I'm interested in both. I got the tattoos.

34:01🔗 Stryker If you hadn't gotten the tattoos, that's what we'd be talking about. But HIV virus and the hepatitis C virus are very close cousins. And they operate in a similar way. And it is a highly infectious disease. It is a very devastating disease. It is sort of the new AIDS. And people need to be extremely cautious about it. It's transmitted sexually. It's transmitted through IV drug use.

34:20🔗 Adam Can you get a shot to prevent it?

34:21🔗 Stryker And there's no vaccine yet.

34:22🔗 Adam There's no vaccine. OK.

34:23🔗 Stryker So, Steve, you've got to get this treated.

34:25🔗 Adam Do you have a question like anything specific?

34:28🔗 Caller I mean, my thing is that I was I mean, I did HIV. I mean, I did intravenous drugs for about, I don't know, 15, 20 years. And I stopped. And my thing is that I didn't realize that hepatitis C was so like virulent or deadly until I went. And they were, you know, comparing it to HIV.

34:51🔗 Stryker Right. So, here we go.

34:53🔗 Adam Well, why don't you go to a doctor and just sack up and get this thing taken care of?

34:57🔗 Stryker First of all, find out how active it is, whether or not you're at risk for cirrhosis, whether or not, even if you have chronic C, which you probably do.

35:04🔗 Caller I mean, that was my question. And also my warning for everybody out there was like, this is like, I mean, there's a lot of people out there that only think that HIV is.

35:12🔗 Stryker Steve, I've been talking about hepatitis C for 10 years on this show, and I've been telling them all along, this is the next story you're gonna hear.

35:18🔗 Adam Well, Steve was shooting up for 25 years, he wasn't listening.

35:20🔗 Stryker He wasn't listening. This is the next story you're gonna hear after HIV, it's a big one.

35:23🔗 Caller Right, well, when you're shooting up, you don't listen to anybody.

35:25🔗 Stryker That's right.

35:26🔗 Adam I just said that, Steve. Well, be careful out there, get to a doctor, find out how serious your hepatitis is, and hopefully they can start some treatment on you, okay?

35:35🔗 Caller Well, yeah, that's exactly, I mean, that's what I was hoping to hear, is that there is something out there that is treatable.

35:40🔗 Stryker It is treatable, it has about, depending on what you read, almost a 50% chance of complete recovery. Really?

35:47🔗 Adam That's not that bad, actually.

35:48🔗 Stryker No, it's pretty good.

35:48🔗 Adam Do you see a lot of your patients in drug counseling that got that because they shared needles and everything?

35:53🔗 Stryker Oh yeah, all the time.

35:55🔗 Adam Yikes.

35:55🔗 Stryker Problem is, you gotta stay sober for about six months before anybody's willing to treat you.

35:59🔗 Adam Okay, 1-800-LOVE-191 is the number, The Living End, they're hanging out here talking about something here with Lynn, you're 27, what's up?

36:07🔗 Stryker Hi, Dr. Drew.

36:08🔗 Stryker Hi, Lynn.

36:09🔗 Stryker Thanks for taking my call.

36:11🔗 Adam I'm the one that took it, I pressed the button.

36:13🔗 Stryker Oh, you rock.

36:13🔗 Adam I'm just kidding, go ahead.

36:14🔗 Stryker You rock wherever you are.

36:17🔗 Stryker Yeah, I know the screener was good enough to let me in. So anyway, I was married a while ago for four years, and I'm in a relationship now that I've been in for two years, and I really love the guy I'm with, and he loves me, and we have a fantastic relationship, but because the marriage that I was in was so, it was such a dark time in my life.

36:40🔗 Stryker What does that mean?

36:42🔗 Stryker Well, I didn't want to get married.

36:44🔗 Stryker Why did you get married?

36:46🔗 Stryker I got married because if I didn't marry this guy, I would have been homeless.

36:49🔗 Stryker Your parents would kick you out?

36:51🔗 Stryker Oh, I didn't even, I wasn't even living with my parents.

36:54🔗 Stryker So why were you with this guy?

36:56🔗 Stryker Well, I dated him. It's a totally dysfunctional thing. I mean, from the very beginning, from the very beginning of the relationship that I was in, when I, before I got married and when I was married, it was just completely dysfunctional.

37:09🔗 Stryker Yeah, but Lynn, the question I'm asking is, why would you have been homeless? There are lots of 18-year-olds in dysfunctional relationships that aren't homeless.

37:16🔗 Stryker Right. Because I didn't, I wasn't going to, I didn't have any place to live. At the time, I was living with him.

37:22🔗 Stryker You're really not, you're not even sort of getting the question. Where the hell were your parents?

37:26🔗 Stryker Oh, well, my parents and my mom was living with two boyfriends at the time. And my dad was in a different state.

37:34🔗 Stryker And they wouldn't have you?

37:36🔗 Stryker No.

37:37🔗 Adam They'll take the two boyfriends in, but let's leave the daughter out in the cold.

37:40🔗 Stryker Why? I'm sorry, Dr. Drew, what did you say?

37:42🔗 Stryker Why wouldn't they have anything to do with you?

37:44🔗 Stryker Well, it was not so much that, it was that I didn't really want anything to do with my mom anymore because I just grew up and my child was a complete nightmare. And at the time, she was living with two boyfriends.

37:58🔗 Stryker What about your dad? When I find him, I live with him.

38:01🔗 Stryker My dad was, you know, sort of like out of state and very sick.

38:06🔗 Stryker Sick with what?

38:08🔗 Stryker Asbestosis.

38:11🔗 Stryker And he wouldn't, well, asbestosis does not make you chronically ill.

38:13🔗 Adam Isn't that in ceilings or something?

38:15🔗 Stryker It's in all kinds of things. But smokers with asbestosis get cancer, but then they can get emphysema because of the smoking. But that doesn't make a 50-year-old incapable of taking in his daughter.

38:25🔗 Stryker Right. I didn't.

38:26🔗 Stryker So what I'm getting through is just massive denial here. You will not answer one of my questions straight.

38:31🔗 Stryker I'll try to.

38:32🔗 Stryker Why did you go live with your dad?

38:33🔗 Stryker Because I didn't want to.

38:34🔗 Stryker Okay. So you wouldn't have been homeless. You just were choosing to get rid of your parents, get out of the hell they were putting you through, and you jumped from one hellacious environment to another.

38:43🔗 Stryker That's correct.

38:44🔗 Stryker And how did you get out of that cycle?

38:45🔗 Stryker How did I get out of the marriage? I got a divorce.

38:49🔗 Stryker But you were so entrenched in that cycle of being a victim and being around chaos. How did you get out of that?

38:54🔗 Stryker Well, I went through a period of time where I was just so depressed and I thought, well, I got to get into therapy. So I was in the therapy for about three years.

39:07🔗 Stryker All right.

39:07🔗 Stryker You got treatment.

39:08🔗 Stryker I understand you can't be asked me. You can't be asked me that you just magically left in a divorce.

39:12🔗 Adam Drew can smell something cooking on his mouth.

39:13🔗 Stryker You can't be asked me your dad had asbestosis and that's why you couldn't live with him because he had asbestos in his pleura. No way. So you got treatment. You had some insight. You grew. You grew out of that relationship and you're able now to have a good relationship.

39:25🔗 Adam How's this guy you're with now for two years so far?

39:27🔗 Stryker He's the best.

39:28🔗 Stryker How come he's not interested in your past?

39:31🔗 Stryker He is but I've sort of avoided. He's never asked me.

39:36🔗 Adam You've been married for two, you've been with this guy two years and then you were married for what? Four, you said before that?

39:41🔗 Stryker Yeah.

39:42🔗 Stryker I would bet he's got a pretty hairy past too.

39:44🔗 Stryker No, he doesn't.

39:45🔗 Stryker I would bet he does.

39:46🔗 Stryker He doesn't.

39:46🔗 Stryker I bet he does.

39:47🔗 Adam I know he does because if he didn't, he'd be asking you because he's got nothing to get off his chest.

39:52🔗 Stryker Exactly right.

39:55🔗 Stryker We talk about like, oh, and I used to live here and I used to live there and he knows pretty much what my past has been.

40:01🔗 Stryker Yeah, but him, he's got something going on he doesn't want to talk about and that's why he doesn't want to get too deep with you because he doesn't want to get too deep with himself.

40:06🔗 Stryker No.

40:09🔗 Stryker Lynn, mark my words. This is more of your...

40:11🔗 Stryker No, because I know him. I know his family very well. I mean, we live together. I mean, I live with him. I live with him and his brother.

40:19🔗 Adam Now that's weird right there.

40:20🔗 Stryker How old is he?

40:22🔗 Stryker How old is he?

40:23🔗 Stryker Fourteen.

40:24🔗 Stryker He's five years younger than me.

40:28🔗 Stryker And you guys started dating when he was twenty. Did you go to college?

40:31🔗 Stryker Did I go to college?

40:32🔗 Stryker Did he go to college?

40:33🔗 Stryker Yeah, he went to college.

40:34🔗 Stryker And he met you while he was in college?

40:36🔗 Stryker Yeah, I mean, he was already out of college, but he didn't go to college.

40:41🔗 Stryker All right, we don't have time to dig any further, Lynn, but we have to go to break. But something's missing. Something's just missing in the story. Either he was over-idealizing you, and that's why he doesn't want to crack that idealization with some reality of your past, or he has some stuff he doesn't want to get into. In either case, it's kind of up to him, really, to ask you about it. I agree. I would just leave it to, but I wouldn't be dishonest, and at this point, I would say more mystery, less history.

41:04🔗 Adam And if you do tell them, maybe you can start digging into this guy's past, even though he was only 20 when you started going out with them. All right, The Living End is here, and you can speak to them at 1-800-LOVE-191. Ace Rockolla was gone. I'm Stryker with Dr. Drew. More Loveline after this. Let's go!

41:50🔗 Caller It was one of the Love Lines.

41:53🔗 Caller You know what I almost said?

41:54🔗 Adam Oh my God, that was weird.

41:56🔗 Caller That was good.

41:57🔗 Adam I almost said something else there.

41:59🔗 Caller Wow.

42:00🔗 Adam Weird. All right, I'm Stryker for Adam Corolla, along with Dr. Drew, The Living End is here, two-thirds of them. Actually, it's just one-third in the studio. Because they're...

42:07🔗 Drew The jumping lock flies.

42:08🔗 Adam All right, come on in. Scott is here. Can I say, Drew, what's going on? No, okay. They're drinking sodas, and those look damn good. They're going to be touring with Green Day, and I was just looking at the schedule here, and I may be wrong, and if I'm wrong, people in the other room shine a light at me, but I am pissed. It doesn't look like you're going to be in LA with Green Day.

42:27🔗 Drew Let's look into the other room.

42:28🔗 Adam Any lights? Any lights? All right. But they are going to be in... going to kick it off in Minneapolis on the 17th of June. Where else? It's going to be in Chicago in June. St. Louis. Looks like going to be in DC then, right in June also. New York, Cleveland, Pontiac, Pittsburgh, hitting all over the place with Green Day. That should be fun.

42:46🔗 Caller That's a national tour.

42:47🔗 Adam Billy, Joe, Trey. Those guys are nuts.

42:49🔗 Drew We can't wait. We toured with them in Australia quite a few years ago. We saw them last year in Australia for the first time since then. So it'd be great just to tour with them again.

42:57🔗 Adam Very cool.

42:58🔗 Drew Amazing band.

42:59🔗 Adam Yeah, they're really good. Hey, Carrie.

43:00🔗 Yeah.

43:01🔗 Adam Hi, you're 16, on with The Living End.

43:02🔗 Caller Yeah, I just want to ask you guys a couple of questions. First question was I was wondering if you guys were going to come to LA with Green Day because I think you guys are both really awesome.

43:11🔗 Caller Yeah, well, I believe we are.

43:13🔗 Adam How about we have a show on my apartment?

43:14🔗 Caller You've planted a seed of doubt in my mind now, but as far as I knew, we were.

43:19🔗 Caller You guys should really come out here. But my second question was in the song Bloody Mary, I was wondering if you guys had any connections to that girl or if she was just a fictional character.

43:27🔗 Drew No, it's a true story. It's a true story. Yeah, it's about a girl who used to go to kind of supermarkets and you know how they do have, at some supermarkets, they have public toilets. Anyway, she would lock herself in there and then call for help and start slitting her wrists and stuff. The cops would turn up on a regular basis and they already knew who she was. She was kind of a known felon and I just thought it would be a good sort of subject for a song. And her name wasn't Mary, it was like Jennifer or something, but I thought, well, Bloody Mary, that sounds kind of cool.

43:58🔗 Caller Double meanings.

43:59🔗 Caller I think it's really cool that you guys use political issues in your songs and everything.

44:04🔗 Drew Thank you.

44:04🔗 Caller Very smart, Kerry. I'm really happy that you guys are out now.

44:08🔗 Drew Thank you very much.

44:10🔗 Caller Are you guys single? All my friends have always been learning if you have girlfriends because we saw you a long time ago, like before we really knew who you were, and we thought we saw girls at the concert that were with you.

44:20🔗 Stryker Kerry, these are guys in a band.

44:22🔗 Caller We do have girls at the concert, but no, none of us are single. Girls do come to our concert, they still come to our concert, even though we're not single.

44:31🔗 Adam That's cool.

44:33🔗 Caller That's a bit of a breakthrough, isn't it?

44:35🔗 Adam What are you doing July 21st, Kerry? Nothing yet.

44:38🔗 Stryker Really?

44:39🔗 Adam Well, Green Day and The Living End will be in LA on that date. Where? Drew, can you just pipe down? Jesus Christ, God.

44:47🔗 Stryker We'll tell you.

44:48🔗 Adam Bren Center at UC Irvine.

44:51🔗 Caller Okay, I'll be there.

44:52🔗 Adam Can you drive down from Simi Valley?

44:53🔗 Caller Yeah, definitely.

44:55🔗 Adam Maybe you and I will drive down together to see him, all right? All right. July 21st.

44:59🔗 Cool.

45:00🔗 Adam All right, Kerry, thanks for calling.

45:01🔗 Drew See you.

45:02🔗 Adam All right, let's talk to Nate Dogg, your 22 on Loveline.

45:05🔗 Hey, what's up, Living End?

45:07🔗 Drew How you doing, Nate Dogg?

45:08🔗 Pretty good.

45:08🔗 Drew Nate Dogg?

45:09🔗 Adam No, it's just Nate.

45:10🔗 Nate Dogg? Actually, they call me Nate Ball.

45:13🔗 Caller Right.

45:14🔗 Anyway, Nate Ball.

45:15🔗 Caller Nate Ball, whatever.

45:17🔗 Caller I just had a question.

45:19🔗 Caller Are you guys still going to be on the Warp Tour this year?

45:21🔗 Because I looked on the website and it says you guys are on it.

45:24🔗 Caller We are. We're only doing three or four shows though.

45:27🔗 Where are they at?

45:28🔗 Caller They're in, where does it start? There's a break in the middle of the Green Day Tour for about a week and it's in the midwest somewhere.

45:36🔗 Adam Yeah, they're gonna be in Kansas City on the Warp Tour July 10th, then they'll be in St. Louis on the 11th of July for the Warp Tour and then the 12th will be in Indianapolis at Deer Creek Music Center.

45:45🔗 Alright, well, um, I just want to say you guys, you guys are awesome. I love the new album.

45:51🔗 Caller Thank you.

45:52🔗 Drew Thank you very much.

45:53🔗 Caller Great. And could you guys do something for me real quick just for a fan?

45:57🔗 Drew We can try.

45:58🔗 Caller Could you just go, Uncle Harry, wow!

46:04🔗 Caller Only if these guys help.

46:05🔗 Caller You ready?

46:06🔗 Drew Are you going to do it too?

46:07🔗 Caller You heard what he said.

46:08🔗 Caller One, two, one, two, three, four. Uncle Harry in the bathroom.

46:14🔗 Caller Thank you.

46:15🔗 Caller You must be happy now.

46:17🔗 Caller You're the man, Nate.

46:17🔗 Adam That was awesome.

46:19🔗 Caller You cracked a smile in the studio.

46:21🔗 Drew Again, another true story about Trav's, Trav's Uncle Harry.

46:24🔗 Caller Yeah.

46:25🔗 Adam Really?

46:25🔗 Drew Had Alzheimer's, not asbestosis, and couldn't help but pee. I thought it was the toilet.

46:30🔗 Stryker Nice.

46:31🔗 Adam I heard a story from the...

46:32🔗 Stryker Corolla does that, and he's not even had Alzheimer's.

46:34🔗 Adam And he can shoot water out of his ass.

46:36🔗 Stryker We gotta talk more about that.

46:36🔗 Adam And I can do a strawberry shortcake. All right, it's Loveline, and we gotta take a quick break more with The Living End after this.

46:45🔗 Caller Love Line, with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew.

46:47🔗 Caller 1-800-LOVE-191 How, how, how do you feel?

47:26🔗 Adam All right, you guys are listening to Loveline.

47:28🔗 Caller We are back along with Dr. Drew.

47:30🔗 Adam I'm Ted Stryker, hanging out with The Living End. So Travis is in Canada right now. When you first got here, you said he was in Canada.

47:37🔗 Caller I thought you were kidding.

47:39🔗 Drew No, we're serious. No, but we were serious when we said we didn't know whether he was gonna be in Canada, like whether they'll let him in or not.

47:45🔗 Adam Right.

47:45🔗 Drew If I was them, I wouldn't let him in.

47:48🔗 Adam Was he a boxer at some point, fighting? He likes to box, doesn't he?

47:53🔗 Drew He's got an unhealthy obsession with it. He's never been a boxer, but he loves it. He's got a dog that's a boxer.

47:58🔗 Stryker Okay. Got it. Well, therefore he boxes.

48:01🔗 Adam Yeah, that's right. There you go. All right, you guys ready to take more questions?

48:04🔗 Drew I think so.

48:05🔗 Adam All right, let's do it. Hey, Ryan.

48:07🔗 Hey, how's it going?

48:08🔗 Stryker What's up?

48:08🔗 Adam You're 20 on Loveline.

48:09🔗 Caller Yeah, I had a question about a girl that won't quit calling me. The whole thing was I started, I had sex with her on last New Year's.

48:18🔗 Stryker Nice.

48:19🔗 Caller And then after that, Drew, I praise the man for that.

48:24🔗 Drew So what's the problem here?

48:27🔗 Caller Well, I actually had sex with her two days before New Year's. Then on New Year's, she brought me a letter and chocolate that basically said that she was in love with me. So I told her she meant nothing to me and I just wanted to see what she was like in bed.

48:43🔗 Drew You beast.

48:44🔗 Stryker How'd she take that?

48:45🔗 Caller And she got really pissed off that night. She didn't even stay for the ball dropping or anything like that.

48:49🔗 Caller You are an asshole.

48:50🔗 Stryker She what?

48:51🔗 Caller And then after that she started calling me every day like three, four times a day, five, sometimes even five times. But she won't quit calling and she's still calling to this day.

49:01🔗 Adam She's getting the best of you and trying to screw with you or you were so god damn good at the sack.

49:05🔗 Stryker No, oh please.

49:06🔗 Caller What?

49:07🔗 Stryker Ryan, why don't you even change your phone number? Why don't you block the calls? Why don't you even talk to her?

49:12🔗 Caller I tried that once.

49:13🔗 Adam Is she hot, man?

49:14🔗 Caller Yeah, she's pretty hot.

49:15🔗 Adam Well, why don't you give her a little something something late at night?

49:18🔗 Caller Well, I had my, I had said she left for Oregon like like two weeks after New Year's.

49:23🔗 Adam Yeah.

49:23🔗 Caller When she came back, I had sex with her again.

49:26🔗 Caller That's wrong. You're mad. You're, no, you're really, you are. Well, no, I don't know if mad is the right word.

49:33🔗 Stryker He's a dick.

49:33🔗 Caller Cruel.

49:34🔗 Stryker He's a dick.

49:34🔗 Caller That is a cruel thing to do. I don't know if you can understand that with my Aussie accent, but you are, that's a cruel thing to do. Because your intentions are different to hers.

49:42🔗 Stryker He is a world-class dick.

49:44🔗 Adam Well, he's 20 years old, you guys.

49:47🔗 Caller Give him a break.

49:48🔗 Drew Yeah, yeah, that's what I reckon. Come on, give the guy a break.

49:52🔗 Adam What should you do?

49:52🔗 Caller Change your number.

49:55🔗 Stryker It's one thing to sort of have made a mistake in One Night Stand, to try to sort of weasel your way out of it, but to know that this has harmed this person and to go back to the well for more, that's pretty despicable.

50:05🔗 Caller Women are not there to be used for that reason.

50:07🔗 Adam You are a wussy.

50:13🔗 Caller Sex can be a One Night Stand, but it can be sacred too.

50:17🔗 Drew Bloody Nora, it's getting a bit serious in here.

50:20🔗 Caller What are you, in the Backstreet Boys of The Living End, Scott? Come on, you mate. Grab a foster.

50:26🔗 Stryker Ryan, you've harmed this person, and I think you ought to figure out a way to sort of cut ties, but do it in a way that...

50:34🔗 Caller I was kind of wondering how to get her to quit calling me, because she, like...

50:37🔗 Adam Stop being an asshole.

50:37🔗 Caller Go away.

50:38🔗 Drew Have you tried just, like, saying to it, kind of one-on-one, like, you know, really not interested?

50:44🔗 Caller Thank you.

50:45🔗 Yeah, I've done that.

50:46🔗 Caller I'm sorry I led you on.

50:49🔗 Caller Have I led her on?

50:49🔗 Caller I'm sorry I led you on, but I did the... and I know I did the wrong thing.

50:53🔗 Stryker Very often when a woman sleeps with a man, there is a whole chemical pathway activated that creates a very intense bond. You would call that a love feeling.

51:02🔗 Adam Girls bond mentally, the guys like it physically, right?

51:04🔗 Stryker The guys can take it or leave it. They have a physical experience. Sometimes it becomes a real connection for them. Sometimes it doesn't. But for women, the biology is very intense and it's more likely to be triggered. Even when they are someone they really shouldn't be with, like Ryan.

51:18🔗 Adam Ryan, Ryan, you do kind of sound like a jerk, but change your number and I don't know how she keeps getting it and just deal with it, man, because you're the one that started this whole thing. So I wish you luck.

51:29🔗 Stryker Good luck. Thanks, man. All right.

51:31🔗 Adam Let's speak to David here. He's been on there for a while. David, you're 16 on Loveline with The Living End.

51:36🔗 Caller Hey, guys.

51:36🔗 Drew Hey, Davo.

51:38🔗 Caller Hey, I just want to say that another Australian accent is the best.

51:42🔗 You guys are great.

51:43🔗 Adam Thank you. Your music kind of sucks, but I like the accent.

51:46🔗 Drew Thank you, yeah. We didn't have much to do with the accent, actually. It's just kind of natural.

51:50🔗 Caller Yeah. So what's up? We probably get a billion chicks out there.

51:54🔗 Adam Did you get a billion chicks?

51:55🔗 Drew Did we get a billion?

51:56🔗 Adam Because of the accent.

51:57🔗 Caller Yeah. Anyways, I just wanted to ask you, Dr. Drew, some questions for a high school report I'm doing, actually, on the orgasm. I was just wondering, you know, females can have multiple orgasms. I was just wondering if male can, too.

52:12🔗 Caller Boring.

52:14🔗 Stryker What kind of class are you taking at 16?

52:17🔗 Caller It's my English class. It's an iSearch report. I go to Los Alhais.

52:21🔗 Caller Yeah, well, hang on.

52:22🔗 Stryker Relax.

52:23🔗 Caller Relax.

52:23🔗 Stryker I didn't ask for a whole...

52:26🔗 Adam Can a man have multiple orgasms?

52:27🔗 Stryker No, they really can't. The people out there, they claim they can. We had this guy up here that claimed a guy can have a zillion orgasms, an hour-long orgasm. It's BS. It really is BS. The spinal reflex, and in men, there's a very long refractory phase where there can be no further activity. So if you actually achieve the activation of that spinal reflex that results in ejaculation, which is the orgasm, people want to split hairs about what is the orgasm. Is it the slight contractions before the ejaculation? No, no, no.

52:57🔗 Adam It's the fluids leaving the building.

52:58🔗 Stryker The fluids leaving the building, it is that whole process, it's a spinal mechanism, and there's refractoriness immediately following. And as you get older, that refractory phase gets longer.

53:07🔗 Caller Okay. And I know male have like ejaculation. Do female also?

53:12🔗 Stryker Yeah, they can. Some do.

53:14🔗 Adam Some flood. It's like the floodgates have opened. There's water everywhere.

53:18🔗 Caller Damn!

53:21🔗 Adam Alright, David?

53:21🔗 Caller Yeah, thanks.

53:22🔗 Adam Good luck with your report, man.

53:23🔗 Caller You guys are awesome.

53:25🔗 Stryker I do.

53:25🔗 Adam I won't take that credit, but The Living End and Drew are. Let's go to Amanda. 1-800-LOVE-191 is the number, by the way, you guys. What's up, Amanda? You are 12.

53:35🔗 Caller Yeah. Hi.

53:37🔗 Drew Hey.

53:37🔗 Caller I just want to say that I love The Living End. You guys rock.

53:43🔗 Drew Thank you very much.

53:44🔗 Caller You're welcome.

53:45🔗 Stryker Why does it sound like you're driving a car?

53:50🔗 Caller Actually, I'm going to see you at the work tour this year.

53:54🔗 Drew Cool.

53:55🔗 Adam In the midwest?

53:57🔗 Caller No. Somebody told me that you guys were playing the Los Angeles Coliseum.

54:03🔗 Stryker That would be nice.

54:04🔗 Adam With 311 and Pennywise and all of them. I don't think I saw them on that list. But you'll have a good time with that show anyway. But you can go see them July 21st with Green Day.

54:12🔗 Caller Okay.

54:13🔗 Adam Down in Irvine, okay?

54:14🔗 Stryker Amanda, are you standing on the Redondo Pier or something? Seriously, are you driving a car?

54:19🔗 Caller No. I'm actually on my mom's cell phone.

54:23🔗 Caller She left it to me. She went to the store.

54:25🔗 Stryker I see. Okay. All right.

54:27🔗 Drew Thanks, Amanda. Drive safe.

54:28🔗 Adam Ask away, Amanda.

54:29🔗 Caller Okay. I have a question for Drew. My best friend, Ann, she's also 12. I've known her since third grade. We're friends with this boy, Alex. I've liked him for a while. And I wanted to ask him out for a while because I wanted to know if he liked me. And I'm afraid that if I do, it'll ruin my friendship with Ann. And I just don't know how to go about it.

54:59🔗 Stryker She's into him too?

55:01🔗 Caller Huh?

55:02🔗 Stryker Did you say that she is into him also?

55:03🔗 Caller Yeah.

55:05🔗 Stryker And you like the guy. How long has she been into him?

55:08🔗 Caller She's been into him for about three years.

55:09🔗 Stryker Is she into him just because you've been talking so much about him? Or she?

55:12🔗 Caller No, she liked him before I did.

55:15🔗 Stryker Wow. Have you talked to her about this?

55:17🔗 Caller No, I'm afraid to. And I've, I just recently started liking him. And I just don't know what to do because I don't want to ruin my friendship with her.

55:27🔗 Stryker So she's been liking him for a long time and you just recently started liking him, huh?

55:30🔗 Caller Yeah.

55:31🔗 Adam Did you start liking him because you heard he had the hour long orgasm?

55:36🔗 Caller No.

55:36🔗 Stryker Is he kind of into you?

55:38🔗 Caller I think he is.

55:40🔗 Stryker So that's why you're trying to figure out how to manage the situation.

55:44🔗 Yeah.

55:45🔗 Stryker What if-

55:46🔗 I don't want to hurt you.

55:47🔗 Stryker Come on. You guys, it's cute. Come on. Aren't you sick of abuse and all the crap we have to deal with? Come on.

55:55🔗 Adam You sound so sweet, Amanda. I know you wanted to ask Dr. Drew the question, but can I answer it for you or at least try?

56:00🔗 Stryker Please go ahead.

56:01🔗 Adam Because I'm closer to 12. I'm like 16. So you like this guy. You don't want to hurt your girlfriend's feelings, which means you seem like a really good person. Thank you. Now, before you destroy the thing with your girlfriend, why don't you just say in a nonchalant sort of way, Drue, you can yell at me if I'm wrong, hey, you know, I really like, what's his name, Alex or something?

56:21🔗 Stryker Alex, yeah.

56:22🔗 Adam Yeah, I kind of like Alex. Would it be okay if we go to Magic Mountain next week or something? And then if she goes crazy, then you're going to have to live with it.

56:32🔗 Stryker She says, cool, you're in. Amanda's going to have a nice friend like Amanda. She's going to go, oh, Graham, I'm happy for you. And inside going, oh, just die on the inside. So, you know, Amanda, you got to make some decisions here. You realize it's not a horrible situation. These are tough choices. And whichever choice you make, there's going to be a price of one or another one. One is to sort of preserve the stability of your relationship with your girlfriend.

56:58🔗 Yeah, because we've both known Alex since we've met.

57:00🔗 Stryker Hang on. And then give up this potential relationship with a guy. Or you're going to begin exploring this relationship with a guy and destabilize this relationship with your friend. But I will tell you what, friendships tend to survive things like this. You know, if the guy is into you and not her, that's not your fault. You like the guy. You're going on with the relationship. If she really cares about you as a friend, she'll get over it. Got it.

57:22🔗 Caller Sarah?

57:23🔗 Hey.

57:24🔗 Adam Your 20 on Loveline.

57:25🔗 Stryker Go ahead.

57:26🔗 Hey, just wanted to say that I saw you guys at the San Diego, the Hollywood show and the Santa Cruz show.

57:33🔗 Caller Oh, okay.

57:33🔗 Stryker Cool.

57:33🔗 Caller All right.

57:34🔗 I'm actually the girl that asked you to play Read About It.

57:37🔗 Drew You guys remember that? You do? You remember that? Yeah. How are you doing? All right.

57:41🔗 Fine. How are you?

57:42🔗 Drew I'm doing okay. Sarah, we didn't play it once again. We tried it in soundcheck for you.

57:47🔗 Caller We played it in soundcheck, but I guess you went there, so that doesn't count.

57:51🔗 No, we were there.

57:52🔗 Drew No, they were there. They were at the front.

57:53🔗 Caller Oh, cool.

57:54🔗 So that was cool that you tried. Well, I wanted to know is you have e-mail links on the official website.

58:00🔗 Caller Yes.

58:01🔗 I was wondering if you guys actually read it and respond back.

58:04🔗 Caller Yes, I do. I don't think. Well, to be perfectly honest, there are a couple of months there where I dropped my computer when I was getting out of the car and it broke. The screen didn't work, so I threw it in the bin and it was only about three or four months ago that I got mine back. Now, yeah, there's not really one that goes by that I don't respond to now.

58:25🔗 Oh, cool, because I actually just sent one today.

58:27🔗 Caller Okay.

58:28🔗 Adam Well, let's see if you respond.

58:29🔗 Caller I will. I will.

58:31🔗 And also, is it the date we were playing with Green Day in LA?

58:38🔗 Caller Isn't that Travis' birthday?

58:40🔗 Caller What date is that?

58:41🔗 Drew I think it might be.

58:42🔗 Adam July 21st.

58:43🔗 Drew Every time Travis' birthday, we're always overseas. And I think he said a few months back, Oh man, we're overseas from a birthday again. So you could be right.

58:51🔗 Adam Sarah, what's your favorite song on the new record?

58:54🔗 Oh gosh.

58:55🔗 I guess I'll have to read about it.

58:57🔗 Caller Cool.

58:59🔗 Adam Well, thanks for calling. Thank you. Bye-bye. See ya. All right, Living End is here. Roll On is the new CD, which is out. You should check it out if you like any sort of punk rock music or just music that makes you want to get pretty crazy. James. James.

59:15🔗 Stryker James is in the building. You sleeping, James?

59:20🔗 Caller No, I don't think he's there. All right, let's go to...

59:25🔗 Adam Hey Steve. Yes, sir. What's up? You're 26 on Loveline.

59:28🔗 Caller I am. Dr. Drew, I have a question for you. I was married for just over seven years. I have a six-year-old son. Went through a divorce in 98. Things just, you know, we got married really young and they didn't work out. But I'm curious to know, we lived together for a long time afterwards to try and make some sort of a functional household for proper upbringing for my son. Is there, does he, is he going to suffer greater long-term effects from, I mean, is it harder on him to live between, split between my house on weekends and her house on weekends, or is it better off to try and make some sort of a household with him here, with both of us, or?

1:00:08🔗 Stryker Well, certainly, it's, it's, the more stability, the less sort of confusion, the better, but you don't want him living in a situation that sort of represents a lie either.

1:00:19🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:00:19🔗 Stryker You know, you don't want to pretend that things are okay if they really are, if they're really separate. You want to be able to learn the difference between a relationship that is working and one that isn't. So, you know, both, the fact that you're just concerned about him and you're really focused on his well-being is really what's important here. You stay close by, spend lots of time with him, hopefully have a civil relationship with your wife, that's what counts.

1:00:40🔗 Caller Yeah, our divorce was actually final in 98. We've actually remained living together until really within the last 30, 45 days just to try and, you know, put the things that we want out of life aside to try and make the best life for him.

1:00:55🔗 Stryker God bless you.

1:00:56🔗 Caller But I don't know, like I said, at the same time I want him to understand the right values of growing up and the difference between truth and lie and functional relationship and not.

1:01:06🔗 Stryker I agree with you.

1:01:07🔗 Adam You're on the ball, Steve.

1:01:08🔗 Stryker I don't know if there's any study I can refer to that says one of these is better than the other. Just the fact that you really are prioritizing his needs is important.

1:01:15🔗 Caller A happy house is better to grow up in than an unhappy house.

1:01:18🔗 Stryker Well, they're happy, though. They're just not really involved with each other. Not a family unit there, per se. It's just sort of people live in here. That's all right.

1:01:25🔗 Adam He's on the right track. Hey, Lisa.

1:01:27🔗 Yeah.

1:01:27🔗 Adam Welcome to Love Line. You're 30.

1:01:29🔗 Caller Yeah. I'm 30 years old. I will be married in two years here in June. Me and my husband split up at 10 months because he went out with a woman that was probably about 100 pounds more than me. I'm only 130.

1:01:46🔗 Adam So she was pushing 230 and he went out with her while you were separated at 10 months?

1:01:51🔗 Caller No. We got separated because I caught him at the bar with her, and he went and did his thing with her, and he was kind of like guilty at the whole time because he got caught.

1:02:04🔗 Stryker He sounds like a delightful human being and a very lovely husband at that.

1:02:08🔗 Caller Yeah, and we've been separated for 11 months, and next month we'll be married for two years, and you know, I'm living out of state and...

1:02:18🔗 Stryker Lisa, what is with you that you would put up with this crap for a second?

1:02:20🔗 Caller He's a cheater. That's what I'm wondering, you know, why...

1:02:24🔗 Stryker How desperate do you have to be to even get near a guy like this?

1:02:27🔗 Caller Well, if I can find anything I want, you know, I'm not...

1:02:32🔗 Stryker Why are you so desperate? Why would you stay with a guy like this?

1:02:34🔗 Caller Well, we haven't. We've been separated for 11 months now.

1:02:37🔗 Stryker Well, what's the problem? What's the question?

1:02:38🔗 Adam Why are you still hanging on to this?

1:02:40🔗 Caller I don't even know what the question is. How come all these guys think that, you know, if they got a woman that's, you know, 120, 130 pounds, why do they have to have a woman that is bigger?

1:02:50🔗 Adam I mean, more bounce to the ounce, Lisa. You know that all these guys.

1:02:55🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:02:55🔗 Stryker Who are all these guys?

1:02:57🔗 Adam Chris from The Living End.

1:02:58🔗 Caller I mean, I've gone out with a couple of other guys that have done this too, but I wasn't married to them or nothing.

1:03:04🔗 Stryker How bizarre is that, though? What a coincidence that you happened to find these guys. These are not any friends of I've ever dealt with, not that some of our large women are fine, but most guys certainly wouldn't cheat on their girlfriend just because a heavyset woman came around.

1:03:18🔗 Caller Yeah, I was just wondering why.

1:03:19🔗 Stryker Why would you find those guys? Why do you find those guys?

1:03:22🔗 Caller I don't know.

1:03:23🔗 Adam Drew wants to know what happened to you when you were younger, which makes you want to go with men that are not physically abusing you, but abusing you in a cheating sort of way.

1:03:33🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:03:34🔗 When did your dad rape you?

1:03:36🔗 Caller Huh? No, my dad didn't rape me.

1:03:39🔗 Caller That's funny.

1:03:41🔗 Caller No, that, no.

1:03:43🔗 Adam I love when The Living End gets shocked.

1:03:46🔗 Drew Oh, look, it doesn't tell much.

1:03:47🔗 Stryker Why what?

1:03:47🔗 Caller I just don't understand why guys could do that, you know?

1:03:50🔗 Drew Because they're assholes.

1:03:50🔗 Caller If they got a good looking woman, small, why would they want to cheat on her after being married? You know, we were only married a month.

1:03:57🔗 Stryker Why do guys want to cheat at all?

1:03:59🔗 Drew I think you found a...

1:03:59🔗 Stryker Why do you pick these guys that cheat? Many guys, most guys don't do this.

1:04:03🔗 Drew Yeah, but you can't, can you tell if a guy is going to cheat?

1:04:06🔗 Stryker She can. She picks them every time.

1:04:07🔗 Caller I don't know.

1:04:08🔗 Stryker Well, let me ask this. Did your dad cheat on your mom?

1:04:11🔗 Caller No. My dad was very, I mean, they were in love. He died when I was 14 years old. They were married for 16.

1:04:18🔗 Stryker What happened?

1:04:20🔗 Caller He passed away.

1:04:22🔗 Adam No.

1:04:23🔗 Stryker Let me take a note here. He died. That means he died.

1:04:25🔗 Adam Hold on one sec.

1:04:26🔗 Stryker Hold on.

1:04:26🔗 Adam Hold on. Ready?

1:04:28🔗 Stryker Yeah.

1:04:28🔗 Adam So I've had a bad life. My parents were married for 16 and he died when I was 14.

1:04:33🔗 Stryker What happened?

1:04:34🔗 Adam He passed away. So sorry. Well, hold on.

1:04:38🔗 Stryker Wrong one.

1:04:38🔗 Caller Where are we going?

1:04:41🔗 Drew Lisa.

1:04:41🔗 Stryker Wait. What happened?

1:04:42🔗 Drew She's still yapping. Why did he die? Go on. Go on.

1:04:45🔗 Stryker Lisa, why did he die? Why did he die?

1:04:48🔗 Drew How?

1:04:49🔗 Caller He just, he was with my uncle and he got in the car and he just, my grandma and grandpa died the same way. They just had a heart attack and died.

1:04:59🔗 Stryker Was he a smoker?

1:05:00🔗 Caller No, never smoked. He had, you know, a shot once in a while, a little beer once in a while, but he wasn't a heavy drinker. He never smoked.

1:05:07🔗 Stryker How old was he?

1:05:08🔗 Caller He was 50 when he passed away.

1:05:10🔗 Stryker Doesn't make much sense, boy.

1:05:12🔗 Caller Yeah, you know, my question is, what is the infatuation with it?

1:05:18🔗 Stryker You know, ask these guys. We can't answer that.

1:05:21🔗 Caller Well, that's why I was calling on you guys.

1:05:22🔗 Caller Let's see if maybe they had a...

1:05:24🔗 Caller I guess people cheat because they're not comfortable in, completely 100% comfortable in the relationships they're in. They're looking for something else. I don't know, you know, I don't think size or physical proportions of any description have got too much to do with it. I just think once you kind of find what you want, you don't think about cheating if you're not happy with what you've got.

1:05:45🔗 Stryker You're thinking about something else. Well, some cheaters, some guys just cheat. They're just cheaters.

1:05:48🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:05:48🔗 Stryker And she picks cheaters.

1:05:50🔗 Caller So once a cheater, always a cheater.

1:05:51🔗 Stryker Absolutely. Cheaters cheat. Is there any common characteristics of these guys? Anything they had in common that you could pick out in terms of how they related to you? They were all wankers. They were all alcoholics.

1:06:01🔗 Adam They were all hunkers.

1:06:02🔗 Caller Well, not all of them, but you know.

1:06:03🔗 Stryker Okay, so they're alcoholics. So, your dad was an alcoholic and you sort of alluded to that. I would never describe my dad as someone who loves to toss a few down.

1:06:13🔗 Adam He had a shot in the beer once.

1:06:14🔗 Stryker Yeah, that's a prominent feature in who he was to you. Now, he wasn't a raging alcoholic, but he was an alcoholic and you thereby picked alcoholics as who you see yourself with. You should expect problems if you're picking people who are in their disease like that.

1:06:27🔗 Caller Okay.

1:06:28🔗 Stryker So, what?

1:06:29🔗 Caller Somebody that like goes to church and drink improperly and don't drink at all?

1:06:33🔗 Stryker Nah, that's more scary. That's the flip side of the same thing.

1:06:36🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:06:36🔗 Stryker Okay.

1:06:38🔗 Caller Okay.

1:06:38🔗 Stryker Just be realistic about who these guys are. If they're alcoholics, fine, they're alcoholics. Ask them to get in some recovery before you get in a heavy-duty relationship with them.

1:06:45🔗 Adam So, every time I'm here, we find out that when women are with a man and the man is like maybe cheating or abusing, the girl seems to have problems with her father in the past. And he's screwing them up. And that's when Carolla starts screaming, listen you a-hole fathers out there, quit screwing with your 7-year-old daughter because they're going to end up going out with the next convict out there.

1:07:09🔗 Drew That's true.

1:07:10🔗 Adam All right, let's speak to Jason 19 on Loveline. Jason, hi.

1:07:16🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:07:16🔗 Adam Go ahead, you're on.

1:07:17🔗 Okay.

1:07:19🔗 Caller Hello.

1:07:19🔗 Caller Speak up.

1:07:21🔗 Caller Hello.

1:07:21🔗 Caller Hi, what's up?

1:07:22🔗 Caller This is Jason Finn.

1:07:23🔗 Caller I go to school at UC Davis and I just wanted to know that you guys rock.

1:07:29🔗 Caller Cool, man. Thank you.

1:07:31🔗 Drew You're very kind.

1:07:32🔗 Caller Yeah. My friends and I went to go see you guys at Slims.

1:07:36🔗 Stryker That was awesome.

1:07:37🔗 Caller Cool.

1:07:38🔗 Adam You guys remember the names of all the venues you play in?

1:07:40🔗 Caller Yeah, Slims in San Francisco. Yeah, we played there in March.

1:07:44🔗 Stryker Yeah, we did. That was great.

1:07:46🔗 Caller We did.

1:07:47🔗 Adam You just pulled that out of your ass.

1:07:48🔗 Stryker Yeah, it was March.

1:07:51🔗 It's kind of cool. You guys are really awesome.

1:07:53🔗 Caller That show is great.

1:07:55🔗 Adam All right. Anything else?

1:07:56🔗 Caller No, I just went in. I didn't really have anything.

1:08:00🔗 Caller Oh, wow.

1:08:01🔗 Drew Whatever you're on, give me some. Huh? Nothing.

1:08:04🔗 Caller Bye, Jason.

1:08:05🔗 Drew Bye.

1:08:06🔗 Stryker Oh, boy. Uh-oh.

1:08:07🔗 Caller Oh, man.

1:08:08🔗 Stryker All right.

1:08:08🔗 Adam On that note, I say we take a little break here. Yeah. All right. The Living End, they're hanging out. They're from Australia. They play punk rock music. They're a nice band. Drew's to my left. I'm convinced he's gay.

1:08:17🔗 Drew I'm sure you guys aren't wearing any clothes tonight.

1:08:20🔗 Adam Well, we knew you were coming, boys.

1:08:21🔗 Stryker That was Stryker's firsthand to my sexual preference.

1:08:24🔗 Adam I think so. It's those weird ass pajamas you're wearing.

1:08:26🔗 Stryker Ann gave me these. Ann gave me these.

1:08:28🔗 Caller Sorry, Ann.

1:08:29🔗 Stryker Right? You hear what he said?

1:08:31🔗 Adam Where's my pajamas?

1:08:32🔗 Stryker Call these weird ass pajamas.

1:08:34🔗 Adam All right. God, Ann Wingold is so hot. Loveline Morvitt is coming back after this.

1:08:40🔗 Caller Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. We'll be right back.

1:09:10🔗 Caller Hi, this is Billy from Green Day, and you're listening to Loveline.

1:09:17🔗 Stryker We're back.

1:09:19🔗 Adam Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191, Living End. They're hanging out. They were so cool to fly in here. And then from here, you're probably going, or you are going north of the border.

1:09:28🔗 Drew You all right there?

1:09:29🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:09:30🔗 Drew A little bit of wind, Fikes, it's a bit windy in here.

1:09:32🔗 Adam All those girls that did like you, now they're like, I don't know about that.

1:09:36🔗 Drew I'm early human.

1:09:37🔗 Adam Well, let's hear another song from your CD, which is called Roll On. Anderson has given me the little finger here.

1:09:43🔗 Stryker All right, you ready, dude?

1:09:44🔗 Adam You guys out there, this is called Dirty Man from the Living End, now. Dirty Man, Dirty Man, that's The Living End right here on Loveline. I'm excited I'm filling in for Adam because Living End truly one of my favorite bands to be out in the last three or four years or so. Just really cool music. Roll On is the CD out. They're going to be on the Warped Tour. They're playing with Green Day at a city near you this summer. So find them. And it's not even time for you to leave. I was like acting like I was closing the whole shop down. But we're not closing down. Okay, cool. We're just going to keep it flowing. Is that cool?

1:13:36🔗 Drew That's fantastic.

1:13:37🔗 Caller We are open for business.

1:13:38🔗 Adam That's right.

1:13:39🔗 All right.

1:13:39🔗 Adam Hey, Steve.

1:13:40🔗 Yeah.

1:13:41🔗 Adam What's up? You're 18.

1:13:42🔗 Caller Hey, what's up?

1:13:44🔗 Caller Hey, I got a question for the band. I was just wondering how did you guys get your start and who are your influences?

1:13:50🔗 Adam Well, we kind of covered that earlier, but you can just go to it real quick again.

1:13:54🔗 Drew How are you doing, Steve? How did we get our start? I don't know. All we did was kind of play. We just played our bums off for many, many years. Me and Scott kind of formed the band in 1990, 1991. It wasn't until kind of 96.

1:14:08🔗 Stryker You went to school together? How did you know it was?

1:14:09🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:14:10🔗 Drew We were just in high school. It wasn't until 96 that we got on the radio. Every weekend, we'd just be playing little pubs all around Australia and we just kept slogging away.

1:14:19🔗 Caller Well, that's cool. I'll probably see you guys on Warped Tour. Hey, can I ask you another question?

1:14:22🔗 Stryker Yeah.

1:14:23🔗 Caller Hey, Drew, me and my buddies, we smoke a lot of pot.

1:14:26🔗 Stryker Nice. Good time.

1:14:28🔗 Caller I guess you could say we're total potheads.

1:14:29🔗 Stryker Nice.

1:14:30🔗 Caller But we were just wondering, what are the side effects of, like, you know, smoking a lot of pot and being, like, you're losing fertility and shit like that?

1:14:39🔗 Drew Hey, why, man? Are you paranoid or something?

1:14:41🔗 Stryker I don't know whether that deserves that question.

1:14:42🔗 Adam He's already off.

1:14:43🔗 Stryker He was swearing. Bottom line is, I know you're not interested in stopping the pot and you really don't care what the hell I answer anyway, but be that as it may, it will really significantly elevate your estrogen levels. It can cause actually breast development in males sometimes.

1:14:56🔗 Adam That's right.

1:14:56🔗 Stryker Lowers your sperm count, can decrease your libido, and but it doesn't affect fertility per se. It's not as though you can't get someone pregnant or you'll have problems with pregnancies or increase in birth defects. So there was a school of thought out here in this coast for a while that there might be an increase incidence of orthopedic defects when the dad is smoking a lot of pot. I don't believe that.

1:15:16🔗 Adam When you quit after smoking a long time, you become depressed as hell, right?

1:15:19🔗 Stryker Oh, yeah.

1:15:20🔗 Adam Is that a guarantee or some people can fight it?

1:15:22🔗 Stryker No, not guaranteed. But what is guaranteed is you smoke long enough, heavy enough, you will eventually start getting depressed and start smoking more and get more depressed. And in trying to find a way out, switch over to speed or alcohol or heroin sometimes or have to get treatment.

1:15:35🔗 Adam Is it possible for somebody to lead a normal, so-called normal life that smokes pot every single day?

1:15:41🔗 Stryker Yes.

1:15:42🔗 Adam And is that, does that bother you being that you're like this specialist? No. Because I know, I think I know some people like that. They do it every day and are smart as hell.

1:15:50🔗 Stryker Oh, no.

1:15:51🔗 Adam Get to work on time.

1:15:52🔗 Stryker Get everything done. It will come down. The House of Cards will come down. What do you mean? I will see them some day. Really?

1:15:57🔗 Drew It's inevitable.

1:15:58🔗 Stryker That's right. I was with the election group of addicts tonight trying to sort of, as a group, we're talking about whether or not you could take somebody like that and motivate them to change. I mean, things are working for them. They're okay. They like their pot and they haven't any consequences yet. And the consensus amongst the addicts was, no way. We wouldn't listen to you. No way. Even if you'd guaranteed us we were going to be in trouble in five years, we'd wait those five years. And that's what people tend to do. They wait till the house of cards falls, till the problems start developing. And I guarantee you, what's weird about pot is that there's a huge variability in the time intervals between starting the heavy pot smoking and the time in which the S starts hitting the fan. Some people can function fine for like 30 years, and then it really comes down.

1:16:36🔗 Adam So eventually the S is going to hit the fan if you're actually smoking every single day. You may be cool as can be, you kids out there that are 23 that smoke every day in college right now.

1:16:45🔗 Stryker Usually it's within 5 years, sometimes within 1 year. But there are guys that do it for 20, 34, decades, and they don't seem to have problems, but eventually they do.

1:16:53🔗 Caller Interesting. Hopefully they can just realize that most stone is pretty much just boring before it gets too serious.

1:16:58🔗 Adam Well the only thing good about them is their laugh.

1:17:02🔗 Drew That's cool.

1:17:03🔗 Adam Brittany, what's up? You're 15 on Loveline.

1:17:07🔗 Caller First of all, I want to just tell Loveline and they've helped me through a lot of times, stuff with their music, and my favorite song is probably, I think it's Time Is Almost Up. I forgot the name of it.

1:17:17🔗 Drew Staring at the light?

1:17:19🔗 Caller It might be.

1:17:19🔗 Drew Is it Time's Up Heading for a Brighter Light? Is that the first line?

1:17:23🔗 Caller But I stole it from my sister, so I don't know what it's called.

1:17:25🔗 Adam That's cool.

1:17:26🔗 Caller Anyways, and I also, oh crap, I don't remember your name, but you're filling in for Adam?

1:17:29🔗 Adam Yes, Stryker.

1:17:30🔗 Caller Okay. Hi. A couple of nights ago, a guy named Kyle, he was like dissing on you way back saying, oh, you're not going to take his spot.

1:17:40🔗 Stryker What? Oh, you had somebody called in? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:17:44🔗 Caller I just want to say you rock, and so did Adam, but everybody rocks, but he's just stupid.

1:17:48🔗 Stryker Oh, well, thanks. Thank you, Brittany. What's going on? What else is going on?

1:17:50🔗 Caller Damn you, Kyle.

1:17:52🔗 Caller Okay. This is my question.

1:17:55🔗 Caller My mom is kind of been sleeping around with a lot of guys her whole life. Ever since my dad and they split up, then I was thinking, well, I'm worried about her and I don't know how to ask her if she can stop so she doesn't get a seizure protection or get checked.

1:18:13🔗 Adam Wow, you sound responsible. That is impressive, Brittany.

1:18:16🔗 Stryker Unfortunately, Brittany, it's an awful situation when children have to be the parent and it's not good for you, frankly. I mean, it's better than acting out in different ways, but your mom's not giving you what you need and she needs to give you an opportunity to have a childhood and to give you the nourishment and emotion that you need as you go through that childhood not require you to skip your childhood and move right on to mom, motherhood for your mom on behalf of your mom so she can deal with her f'd up life. You know, Brittany, try to stay focused on your life, your friends. Your mom's a big girl. She has to take care of herself and it is egregious that she should rely on you to help her manage her chaos.

1:18:56🔗 Caller It's kind of hard to like talk to my friends and stuff because they're all younger than me and they have all done way more than me.

1:19:02🔗 Adam How are you doing in school?

1:19:03🔗 Stryker I'm just really afraid you're going to start modeling your mom's behavior at some point in your life.

1:19:08🔗 Adam How are you doing in school?

1:19:10🔗 Caller I hate to go off and on. Right now, I don't know what's going on.

1:19:14🔗 Adam I mean, you're what, in 10th grade or something?

1:19:16🔗 Caller I'm supposed to be.

1:19:17🔗 Adam Okay, well, what does that mean, you're supposed to be?

1:19:20🔗 Caller I got held back in second grade.

1:19:21🔗 Adam Oh, okay, well, do well in school. You're three years away from being 18. If you do well enough, go to college, leave the state, and just make yourself into the best person you can. And as Drew said, don't become a mom for your mom, even though you care about her.

1:19:37🔗 Caller Okay, I also want to tell Drew something. Yeah.

1:19:40🔗 Caller I wanted to tell you that some people don't really give you compliments, and I always thought you were probably the best, because you always give the best stuff.

1:19:46🔗 Stryker Well, Brittany, you make us all feel good.

1:19:47🔗 Adam Unacceptable.

1:19:49🔗 Stryker Oh, God, the ghost of Corolla.

1:19:50🔗 I'm sorry.

1:19:51🔗 Caller I like him the best. He's my favorite.

1:19:53🔗 Stryker Who, Adam or me? Oh, Adam Buggs.

1:19:56🔗 Adam All right, you're a little...

1:19:57🔗 Caller Pushes people down, but okay.

1:19:59🔗 Adam Thanks, Brittany.

1:20:00🔗 Caller All right.

1:20:01🔗 Adam Good luck with your momma.

1:20:01🔗 Caller Unacceptable.

1:20:03🔗 Caller Thank you very much.

1:20:04🔗 Adam And Anderson, you're not a deer in headlights. I apologize for that from the first minute of the show.

1:20:08🔗 Caller Daniel.

1:20:10🔗 Caller Yeah, hey.

1:20:10🔗 Adam You're 14.

1:20:11🔗 Caller Stryker.

1:20:12🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:20:13🔗 Caller I listen to your show every night.

1:20:15🔗 Adam Thanks, man.

1:20:15🔗 Caller And you're awesome. And Drew.

1:20:17🔗 Stryker Daniel.

1:20:19🔗 Caller My dad is a psychiatrist in the Los Angeles area. And he says, you're just basically the best thing that could happen to a teenager.

1:20:27🔗 Caller You thought he was going to say a croc.

1:20:29🔗 Stryker You know his direction.

1:20:30🔗 Stryker I understand, man.

1:20:31🔗 Stryker Could have gone either direction there, Daniel.

1:20:32🔗 Caller I appreciate it. I think you're the greatest. He thinks you're the best.

1:20:36🔗 Stryker Well, that's very kind.

1:20:37🔗 Caller That's good. And I've just got a question for The Living End. You guys are awesome. And I've noticed when I listen to your songs that they're usually like Public Enemy number one or like Second Solution about like On Death Row or like West End Ride. I'm just wondering what that comes from. I'm just curious because I'm not a fan of music.

1:21:04🔗 Drew You know, it's a good question. I don't really know. I think there's just certain things that kind of appeal to me as a songwriter and things that I'm kind of interested in. And I guess maybe half of that is because I think there's a lack of bands that are really doing that sort of thing. And a lot of my favorite bands, whether it be like The Jam or The Clash, or anything kind of saying about subjects like that. And I don't know, I just find it interesting. Lyrically, I find a lot more appealing than writing songs about your girlfriend kind of stuffing you around, whatever.

1:21:39🔗 Caller Yeah. And also is Scott in there tonight?

1:21:42🔗 Caller Yes. Hello.

1:21:43🔗 Caller Scott. All right. I have a, I had a counselor at camp who's from Melbourne. And he claimed that his brother went to high school with you and that you guys were best friends. And not best friends, but you guys were good, that you guys talked to each other.

1:21:56🔗 Adam They were mates out there.

1:21:57🔗 Stryker You actually spoke.

1:21:58🔗 Caller They were mates.

1:22:00🔗 Stryker What's his name?

1:22:01🔗 Caller I don't know his first name, but the last name was Gould.

1:22:04🔗 Stryker Gould. Gould.

1:22:06🔗 Drew Jason Gould? Did we go to a school with an uncle Jason Gould?

1:22:13🔗 Caller I'm sorry, it doesn't spring to mind. I can't say that I can remember everyone that I went to and might have been friends with in high school for a certain period of time, but it doesn't automatically spring to mind. It's obviously not someone who was super important in our life.

1:22:30🔗 Stryker Chris has a good memory.

1:22:32🔗 Adam All right, Daniel, thanks for calling, man. We appreciate the compliments. I have a question for The Living End. So do you take care of the lyrics or is it a group effort?

1:22:41🔗 Drew Chris? I pretty much take care of the initial lyrics and stuff and then take it in and we jam it out for a few hours in a rehearsal room. Then there's a couple of lines that sound a bit dodgy. Scott or Treble kind of go, that line sounds a bit dodgy. We're pretty honest, which is a good thing. They're not afraid to sort of say, that bit sucks.

1:23:03🔗 Adam What about the music, Scott? How do you guys come up with your riffs and just the whole tune of a song?

1:23:09🔗 Caller Chris has written pretty much most of the stuff on the album. It's pretty much a matter of he comes in with ideas. Sometimes they're almost songs that are completely structured. They're the kind of thing I'd hear and I'd go, look, I don't want to touch that. I think it sounds fantastic. Or it's something that I'll just go, I get, no offense, but I get bored when I listen to that part. Maybe we should chop that and add some more of that and this and that. I guess it's more of a kind of group collaboration when it comes to arranging the songs. But Chris comes up with most of the parts, the guitar riffs and all that kind of stuff. Me and Trav have ideas and we've written a few parts in our time. But yeah, that generally comes from Chris' head.

1:23:57🔗 Adam Well, it definitely is working. If you guys are just joining us, Living End, that's who we're speaking to right here. They're a three-piece band, a stand-up bass, which is so cool. If you haven't seen it before live, Scott just kills this thing. Then Chris sings and plays guitar and he plays a mean guitar and can sing at the same time, which I play a little guitar and I try to sing at the same time.

1:24:16🔗 Caller I am the worst.

1:24:17🔗 Drew I mean, I can't do the old kind of a rub the belly and pat the head thing. Actually, I'm doing it right now, but that's the first time ever. But yeah, it's just practice. You need talent.

1:24:26🔗 Caller Very good.

1:24:27🔗 Drew That's all I do.

1:24:28🔗 Adam Good. Is it break time? It's break time. I still don't even get it.

1:24:31🔗 Caller I've been doing this thing for a little while.

1:24:32🔗 Adam All right. It's Love On You guys. As I said, Living End with Drew and I'm Stryker and more of this show Loveline coming up.

1:24:38🔗 Stryker Hold on.

1:24:40🔗 Caller Hello.

1:24:42🔗 Caller This is Loveline. 1-800-LOVE-191. Loveline will be right back.

1:25:10🔗 Caller Yeah, we're back.

1:25:11🔗 Adam This is Loveline and Stryker, comma Ted, along with Pinsky, Drew, the doctor.

1:25:18🔗 Stryker Yes, sir.

1:25:18🔗 Adam It's almost time for us to go. Living End still hanging out here from Australia, touring the US. Gonna be on the Warped Tour in a city near you, gonna be on tour with Green Day. That's gonna be a punk fest.

1:25:29🔗 Drew It's gonna be a hot summer. It's gonna be cool. We're pretty much spending the rest of the year over here, I think, you know, we're gonna get zip codes, the whole bit.

1:25:36🔗 Adam So you have a visa to stay in the country for a certain amount of time?

1:25:40🔗 Drew We do. We do. Beware.

1:25:42🔗 Caller I don't know.

1:25:43🔗 Adam So you could just do something to get the hell out of Dodge.

1:25:45🔗 Caller We could.

1:25:45🔗 Adam I love my eye on you boys.

1:25:47🔗 Caller All right.

1:25:48🔗 Adam We have someone that has some...

1:25:48🔗 Caller You could be Big Brother for us.

1:25:49🔗 Adam I'll be Big Brother.

1:25:50🔗 Caller I'm sure the US. Government will be happy about that.

1:25:53🔗 Adam Dr. Drew, Big Brother. All right, Deborah.

1:25:56🔗 Caller Hi.

1:25:56🔗 Adam Hey, you're 20 on Loveline. What's up?

1:25:57🔗 Caller Yeah, I just want to say hi to Chris and Scott. Hey, Deborah.

1:26:01🔗 Caller Hi.

1:26:02🔗 Caller I'm a really big fan of you guys. I've been a fan for about a year and a half. The first album, The Living End, I love that. I used to work out to that like every day for about six months.

1:26:11🔗 Drew What kind of workout are we talking here?

1:26:12🔗 Caller Just anything like treadmill, cardio, whatever. I just pop my walkman on and listen all the time.

1:26:18🔗 Caller Anything to get your pulse rate up.

1:26:20🔗 Caller Yeah. Just looking at you guys is that for me. Whoa.

1:26:25🔗 Caller I don't know how to help that.

1:26:27🔗 Caller You don't have to do anything.

1:26:28🔗 I just want to say Scott, I love the upright bass.

1:26:32🔗 Stryker I've actually bought a bass.

1:26:33🔗 Caller I could like run some of your bass lines. That would be kind of hard to do because you have an upright bass and you have an electric. But I'm really nervous right now. But I just want to say, I think you're so sexy and that watching you play is such a turn on because I love the way you just kind of like grab your bass and like...

1:26:49🔗 Caller He's masturbating right now.

1:26:50🔗 Caller You'll get over that. I got over it.

1:26:52🔗 Caller I think you have the sexiest hands too.

1:26:54🔗 Like seriously.

1:26:56🔗 Caller He does.

1:26:58🔗 Stryker You got to just listen to what women can make into sex, right? You know what I'm saying?

1:27:02🔗 Caller I'm sorry. I like to sing for bass players and you like...

1:27:05🔗 Caller You know, playing an upright bass, playing a slap bass, playing rockabilly slap kind of style gives you really bad blisters. Your fingers could even bruise. I know this isn't great for radio, but I'll show the other guys in the studio. Look at that.

1:27:17🔗 Drew That's not very sexy. There's nothing at all sexy in it.

1:27:24🔗 Caller Sorry.

1:27:24🔗 Drew She loves seeing you slap a plank of wood, man.

1:27:26🔗 Caller You get some beer in these awesomes and they start saying the F word. So I'm going to start fighting in here.

1:27:33🔗 Drew Oh, man. Well, Debra. I apologize. It's my upbringing. Okay.

1:27:36🔗 Caller But it's unacceptable. That's totally unacceptable.

1:27:40🔗 Adam Scott, can you do me a favor?

1:27:41🔗 Drew Yes.

1:27:41🔗 Adam In your best romantic way, can you say something to Debra that maybe she can think about while going to sleep tonight? Like, you would like to use your fingers on the base, but she'll be your base. Come on. You want her leg to be your third string, something like that?

1:27:55🔗 Stryker Make her base upright?

1:27:56🔗 Adam Yeah. Come on. Do it, Scott.

1:27:58🔗 Drew You want to check out our F-holes?

1:28:04🔗 Caller I could make a G-string. Surely I can make a G-string joke of some description, can't I? Or a tuning peg joke or a tailpiece joke or maybe even a bottom end kind of joke. Or how about a rubber my hand up the back of the neck kind of joke or a...

1:28:21🔗 Stryker No joke for Deborah though.

1:28:22🔗 Caller That's enough.

1:28:22🔗 Adam All right, Deborah. Thanks for calling.

1:28:24🔗 Caller You're all hypotheticals.

1:28:25🔗 Adam You're awesome.

1:28:26🔗 Thank you.

1:28:26🔗 Adam Okay, bye.

1:28:27🔗 Caller Bye.

1:28:28🔗 Adam Let's get a few more in here real quick. Bobby, 15 on Loveline.

1:28:31🔗 Caller It's getting stinging. I had a question about puberty. Yeah. Is there like a date, like a year that you have to go through it? Like if you don't, it's a problem?

1:28:42🔗 Adam Do you have hair under your arms yet?

1:28:44🔗 Caller Uh, some.

1:28:45🔗 Adam Well, you're on your way, my man.

1:28:48🔗 Caller Well, I mean, it's like been this, I've been, it's been this way for like four years.

1:28:52🔗 Stryker You've been sort of the same.

1:28:53🔗 Adam How big is your pee-pee?

1:28:55🔗 Caller Uh, well, like, limp or what?

1:29:01🔗 Caller Give me both measurements.

1:29:02🔗 Stryker Does it seem about the same size as everyone else's or behind?

1:29:06🔗 Caller Behind.

1:29:07🔗 Stryker And?

1:29:08🔗 Drew Size doesn't matter.

1:29:08🔗 Adam You're not Asian, are you?

1:29:10🔗 Stryker No. Okay. Nice.

1:29:11🔗 Caller What?

1:29:12🔗 Stryker And have you had your growth spurt yet?

1:29:15🔗 Caller Well, I've grown a little bit, but not a whole lot.

1:29:22🔗 Stryker All right. Listen, delayed or later puberty is associated with longevity. So just relax. It'll be okay. And the kids that have the growth spurt the latest tend to be the tallest. Okay. There you go.

1:29:34🔗 Adam Hey, I'm a sure sign of that.

1:29:36🔗 Stryker Yeah.

1:29:37🔗 Adam I grew. Hey, Bobby, I was a late bloomer. All my friends were getting. I was fairly tall, like 12, 13. Then they all shot right past me. Come 17, 18, 19, even 20. Up to like 6, one and a half now. I was like 5, 9 in the 11th grade or something.

1:29:53🔗 Caller Yeah. My dad grew like a foot when he got into high school.

1:29:56🔗 Adam Hey, you will be fine, Bobby.

1:29:59🔗 Drew I've got three feet now, has he?

1:30:01🔗 Stryker You just got that genetic makeup, so just relax.

1:30:04🔗 Adam All right.

1:30:05🔗 Stryker Thanks, Bobby.

1:30:06🔗 Drew He said he grew a foot.

1:30:09🔗 Caller I'm so drunk and all I'm drinking is water.

1:30:12🔗 Stryker Jenny. Three meters.

1:30:14🔗 Drew Hi.

1:30:14🔗 Caller You're 19 on Loveline.

1:30:15🔗 Drew Hi.

1:30:16🔗 I just wanted to tell The Living End that they were awesome when they played at the Crest Theater in Sacramento on Monday night.

1:30:22🔗 Caller Thank you.

1:30:23🔗 I hope you guys come back on a Friday night because there wasn't a big turnout on Monday there, but you guys are awesome. And I kind of wanted to know if you could tour with any bands that are around today, who would you kind of want to tour with?

1:30:38🔗 Drew We've been very lucky, you know. We've had the chance to tour with with kind of, you know, our, you know, idols and people that we've really looked up to, such as kind of the Rancids and we tour with the Specials and the Boss Tones and Offspring, and we've done a lot of things that we probably never thought we'd be able to do. So there isn't really that many bands left that we'd want to tour with, you know, maybe like the Beatles or something, but obviously none of them are out anymore.

1:31:04🔗 Adam So there's really no one out there that says, man, that's actually pretty good song.

1:31:08🔗 Drew Oh, I'd love to tour with Supergrass or something from England, yeah.

1:31:17🔗 Adam All right, Jenny.

1:31:18🔗 Okay, thanks.

1:31:19🔗 Adam Cool, have fun in Sacktown.

1:31:20🔗 Caller All right.

1:31:21🔗 Adam And sorry, your guys lost to our Lakers out here. Uh, Dave.

1:31:25🔗 Caller Hey, how's it going?

1:31:26🔗 Adam What's up, man? 23 on Loveline. Yeah, we only got a minute to try to make it quick, okay?

1:31:31🔗 Caller All right, if someone has a problem maintaining an erection, how would you go about curing that?

1:31:37🔗 Stryker Well, first check to see if there's a medical problem. You want any medication?

1:31:40🔗 Caller Not medication, no drugs, nothing.

1:31:42🔗 Stryker And when does the erection sort of lose, when do you lose it?

1:31:45🔗 Caller Like during, during sex, during oral, during anything.

1:31:48🔗 Stryker Same partner or with any partner?

1:31:49🔗 Caller Same girl, um, just for the past three months, like when we get all excited and ready to go and then-

1:31:56🔗 Stryker But it's never happened before with anyone else?

1:31:58🔗 Caller No.

1:31:58🔗 Stryker Any problem in the relationship?

1:32:00🔗 Caller No.

1:32:00🔗 Stryker Any anger or anything like that? Anybody cheated? I mean, anxious, is she leaving?

1:32:04🔗 Caller I love her, I think she's great, everything's like kick, kick, kick butt, but, um, yeah, I don't know what, I don't know what's going on, man.

1:32:12🔗 Stryker You've otherwise been feeling well, do you get, do you get nervous that it's going to happen again? Yeah, I do. Sometimes it is just that, it's called anticipatory anxiety, just the thought that it's going to happen again is enough to make it happen again.

1:32:24🔗 Caller Now, would, I remember last week, you said something about the level of testosterone, because of masturbation.

1:32:31🔗 Stryker No, no, no, no. Do you masturbate a lot?

1:32:34🔗 Caller No, not now, because I'm trying to, you know, think whatever is wrong.

1:32:36🔗 Stryker Good, that's a good thing, but just realize that you've got to take the focus off the inner chorus and just focus on enjoying yourself and realize that anxiety really works against sexual functioning in the male.

1:32:45🔗 Adam So the more your mind plays tricks on you, the worse you're going to be.

1:32:47🔗 Stryker That's right.

1:32:47🔗 Adam Is that it?

1:32:48🔗 Stryker Yeah.

1:32:48🔗 Adam All right, we've got to take another break. More Loveline coming up after this.

1:32:51🔗 Caller Hello, this is your radio. Love Line will be right back.

1:33:30🔗 Adam Loveline, we're back, but we're almost gone. All right, along with Dr. Drew with Stryker. Living End, thank you guys for being here.

1:33:37🔗 Caller Thank you very much for having us. Good to see you again.

1:33:39🔗 Adam Good to see you too. You guys are awesome. Everyone out there, go check them out. Definitely, they're gonna be on tour this summer with Green Day. They'll also be on the Warped Tour in a few dates. And I believe Chris will be at Many Clubs Stripping, so.

1:33:51🔗 Stryker And Stryker, thanks for filling the fray.

1:33:52🔗 Drew You've got a pleasure. Thank you. Yeah, you've done a great job. I haven't seen the other geezer, but I don't want to see you.

1:33:57🔗 Caller It couldn't be any better, could it?

1:33:58🔗 Stryker No way.

1:33:58🔗 Drew Thank you. I don't think so. I think he's lost his job.

1:34:01🔗 Adam No, I don't know about that. And you guys that called in to Loveline, thanks for being so cool. I had a great time. Ace Rockolla will be back very soon.

1:34:07🔗 Stryker So for Drew, I guess I'll be here tomorrow with Howie Mandel.

1:34:10🔗 Adam Really?

1:34:10🔗 Stryker Yeah.

1:34:11🔗 Adam Oh, that should be cool.

1:34:11🔗 Stryker It'll be interesting.

1:34:12🔗 Adam Drew and Howie Mandel tomorrow. Now can I do the sign-off?

1:34:14🔗 Stryker Yes, please.

1:34:15🔗 Adam You sure?

1:34:16🔗 Caller You all right? All right, Let me in. This is Dr. Drew, and I am Ted Stryker saying goodbye, mama.

1:34:22🔗 Caller Just calling to ask if it's safe to have animals there.

1:34:26🔗 Caller This has been Loveline. The opinions expressed on this show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors, or this station. The producer for Loveline is Ann Wilkins Engel. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
