2:05🔗DrewIf you're wondering where that delightful, those delightful tones are, they'll be here in a second. There's a lot of traffic. I guess he got stuck in some of that traffic.
3:14🔗Dave NavarroYeah. It was a bicycle injury. You know, you fall off with the bar underneath the seat. Smash the testicles. Pretty good.
3:22🔗DrewGood times. There are a number of things. And interestingly, most of the things that cause blood in the semen are not serious. Okay. But it does need to be kind of looked into because very occasionally it can be.
4:01🔗AdamWell, why shouldn't I be happy? I got the world by the tail. I got a partner who cares enough to sit down and start the show. Dave Navarro is here.
4:36🔗DrewBut there are other things. Anything that basically causes broken vessels in that area can do this, and very occasionally tumors and things. But the bottom line is that something needs to be checked out, but not something to freak out about. Sam is 16.
4:47🔗CallerYeah, two days ago, my girlfriend told me she had a foot fetish and I have webbed feet.
5:20🔗AdamYeah, but wait a minute. Wait, there's something I don't understand. I like boobs, but if a girl told me her boobs were fused together down the middle, it wouldn't make me more attracted to her.
5:35🔗DrewBut wait a minute. You don't talk about it. Look, basically, it goes up to the first knuckle, and then it comes out, and then the other toes are normal.
5:42🔗DrewSo this would be the big toe. This is the common thing.
5:45🔗AdamBut someone who's a foot fetishist would like a nicely laid out foot, not a web foot.
5:51🔗DrewYou would think that, but we've never really asked a foot fetish what they find attractive in feet. Well, there may be qualities that have nothing to do with the joints.
6:20🔗Dave NavarroYou never know what's going to happen.
6:22🔗AdamYou hit your own sister up and that's what happened.
6:24🔗DrewI would like to wait. Now, here's the deal. Hey, Damian, I would like to hear from what foot fetish is, what they find attractive in feet. You know, I mean, even if it's a guy, just to see what who knows.
6:34🔗AdamAll right. Well, so Sam, is is do you think that's why she loves you?
6:39🔗CallerI don't know. She hasn't seen him. I mean, she's not perfect either. She's got a butt hole the size of a...
6:46🔗AdamWell, you know how we enjoy those? I do. Yeah, I do. Anything that cuts into this two hours, anything that breaks up the monotony, but we should have known that was a bogus call because we've never had a female who had almost any kind of fetish, but especially not feet.
7:28🔗CallerSince he has anal sex now and he's also 19 years old, when he gets to be around 60 years old, will it be hard for him to hold in his...
7:40🔗AdamWell, first off, let me put Tony at ease. He'll be dead in his late 30s from hepatitis, so don't worry. Do not worry. He's telling us not to worry.
8:08🔗DrewAnd I've not heard much upset about that, and you would think there are enough people doing that, both men and women, that if it really were a big issue, we'd hear an awful lot about it. It makes sense to me there would be minor kinds of problems, and it would also depend on the partner. And if you kept doing this until you're 60 or 70, I mean, seven-year-olds already have that problem.
8:26🔗Dave NavarroHow opened up is he going to get?
8:29🔗AdamWell, wait a second though. If there's no trauma, there's no trauma, right? I mean, if he's got, let's say Tony's boyfriend is slow-moving, well-looped, and modest in size, and caring, and careful, and he feels no pain. It's not like he's being raped in prison or at a holding tank at some backwater sheriff place where everyone's having to go at him with a mop handle.
8:54🔗AdamSo, if there's no trauma, he'll probably be okay. All right.
8:57🔗DrewYeah. Kegel exercise. I don't know. It doesn't seem to be a big issue.
9:01🔗AdamI would, you know something, I'd be curious to find out the circumference of the average male's BM is probably about the average width of a penis. I know it's not something we choose to think about, but just think about it for a second.
9:38🔗AdamRight. You're a cuticle pusher. Thank you. Seriously though, what do you think is wider, the average penis or the average BM from the adult male? Think about it for a second. What if someone put a gun to your head? What would you go with?
9:52🔗DrewCould I produce an average BM the size of an average penis?
9:55🔗AdamIf someone put a gun to your head. No, I'd say penis, but it's marginal, wouldn't you?
10:14🔗I'm going to be moving four hours away in about a month and a half. And the guy that I'm dating now and I get along great, but we both know that long-distance relationships don't work.
11:11🔗AdamBecause if she has any kind of pardon the pun, mobility financially, I mean, has a decent ride. Can go to medical school, go to med school. Twenty eight can get herself a plane ticket every once in a while. She's deeply in love. And women who are 28, if they meet Mr. Wright, I mean, they're starting to think about marriage in the next six months. Or not breaking it off because he's moving 200 miles, she's moving 200 miles away.
11:32🔗DrewSarah, he's right about that. But listen, here's my advice, is that every couple that started out medical school with me did not make it.
11:40🔗CallerYeah, but you haven't listened to my question. My question isn't that.
11:43🔗AdamAll right. I'm not, I don't care what it is. I'm just telling you, you're not breaking up with this guy because you're deeply in love and you're moving four hours away.
11:50🔗CallerOkay. Well, here's the real question. Okay. We were going to spend the summer together and then break up right before I left, but then a couple of weeks ago we decided that we better break it off now because we're falling harder for each other. It's just going to be harder at the end of the summer.
12:10🔗AdamWho cares? It's not like your parents are both diplomats and one's going back to India and the other's going to the New York. You're 28. How old is he?
12:29🔗DrewYeah. But Sarah, but that's the point. You're going to double down and think that somehow it's going to be easier than at the end of summer. And Adam is saying go for it. Try to keep it going. Go for the summer and go beyond. I'm saying no. I'm saying it doesn't work in the relationship.
12:42🔗Dave NavarroIt seems to me like the drama of the separation is enough of a defocus for you. And so like almost stay addicted to the relationship in a sense by focusing on the fact that it's going to ultimately be in, you know, a perilous situation for you. That drama is taking you out of whatever fears you're dealing with to begin with, which might not be school or moving or all of the above.
13:03🔗AdamAll of it. All right. You're both in the same goddamn state of Minnesota. For Christ's sake, he's 35. 35. Yeah, I know. She's 28. You're falling deeper and deeper in love.
13:16🔗Dave NavarroAnd if she's going to medical school, she's going to be set up well enough. The guy should just move with her.
13:21🔗AdamShe's got an intimacy issue here. I guarantee it. Oh, yeah. You got it.
13:26🔗AdamOkay. A little bit. Just be honest with yourself.
13:28🔗DrewBut I believe that people used to call it drama, call it arousal to just gratify in the moment and get away from the more difficult feeling. Lila?
14:09🔗Dave NavarroI masturbate a lot. I want to be a stripper. I know this is not normal. So am I a nymphomaniac?
14:15🔗DrewWell, there's no such thing as nymphomaniac. That's not a term that has any meaning anymore. But the question is, are you a sexual compulsive or are you a sexual addict? You want to address that?
14:23🔗Dave NavarroSounds like a good yes to me. Especially if you're using that to avoid other issues in your life.
15:02🔗Dave NavarroFinally, they turn to me when it comes to this.
15:03🔗DrewNo. You've been speaking the language of this.
15:06🔗Dave NavarroI can totally relate to this whole. But for me, compulsivity basically is applicable to everything I do. Ultimately, what's going on in my life is like there's something I'm trying to avoid and I'm looking into these other areas to help me deal with whatever it is that's actually going on. Is there anything going on in your life that you're trying to avoid or hide or run from, especially in your childhood like Dr. Drew said?
15:31🔗Dave NavarroFeelings-wise, well, I actually have a problem with my feelings. I can't ever show my real emotions. They mostly sound really happy to people I know.
15:39🔗DrewYeah, but you sexualize feelings though, too.
15:49🔗Dave NavarroIs that a place you go when you're angry or a place you're going when you're happy or feeling celebratory or when you're in fear or when you're scared? Sex is the answer to all those things, isn't that correct? Isn't that so?
16:01🔗DrewYes, counselor. But you know what's interesting about people like this is it, and this is where I look to you, is that you know what's going on with her, I know what's going on with her, but how do you get her to get it? To really get it, to be willing to change, to get what she, because in her mind she's like, no, I just do a lot of, I just understand, just have a lot of sex.
16:18🔗Dave NavarroI mean, yeah, that's the problem is are you finding that your sexual behavior is making your life unlivable right now, unmanageable? Are you uncomfortable with it?
16:27🔗Dave NavarroThen that's, you know, then there's really, there's really no answer right now.
16:31🔗DrewUnfortunately, we know where she's headed.
16:33🔗Dave NavarroYeah, I mean, when it's, you know, give us a call when in your life it starts, you know, being a problem as a result of it.
16:37🔗DrewAnd it will. That's the, that's the, that's the sort of clairvoyance of being around people, of having been with and talked to a lot of people that have what you have, Lila, is that eventually you keep up in the ante, you keep getting more and more thrill into your situations, more and more pain, more and more shame you try to avoid, and it just compounds, it gets worse and worse and worse.
16:58🔗Dave NavarroSo are you saying I'm going to end up being a hooker? Or in the porn?
17:01🔗DrewNo, not necessarily. I'm not saying where you're going to go, but you're going to probably strip and that kind of thing.
17:06🔗Dave NavarroYeah, and even if it doesn't end up that way, which I'm not saying that at all, but what I am saying is like it more than likely will end up in a place where you're very uncomfortable with it and unhappy.
17:17🔗AdamYou'll look back on these years and regret many, many encounters that came along those years, and then you'll have to live with that, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be doing snuff films.
17:34🔗DrewSee, people somehow take that and go, oh, you're telling me I'm bad, I'm wrong, is something wrong with me? No, no, no. You have a thing. And it's, you've fulfilled the recipe for what you have and now you have it.
17:43🔗Dave NavarroWhat's interesting or what I'm curious about is like why the call to find out if this label applies to you, if there's no, if you're not getting into any problems with it right now.
17:53🔗Dave NavarroWell, my friends are just like dude, that's not normal. You should talk to somebody about that.
17:58🔗Dave NavarroBut doesn't even that kind of turn you on when they tell you that? You kind of dig feeling different that way.
18:11🔗AdamAll right. So you know what the future is now. And the question is you want to live it or do you just want to see it and avoid it? Why don't you see if you can see it and avoid it?
18:20🔗DrewAnd if you do their essay or maybe if you have there's another drug involved here you haven't talked about, you can start any kind of 12 step program would be very, very useful for this.
18:28🔗AdamI also worry about her friends who call her dude.
19:00🔗CallerHi. Yesterday, I did shrooms for the first time. Now today, my stomach really hurts and I don't know if it's normal. I also smoked a gram of weed yesterday and I usually don't smoke. I mean, I usually smoke like once or twice a month.
19:18🔗AdamAnd were you laughing? No, I'm serious. Like I've eaten mushrooms like three times and each time I laughed so hard that I woke up with a stitch in my side, you know, the next morning because I overdid it.
20:42🔗Dave NavarroBut I mean, it sounds to me like, you know, she's sitting here saying, I put a pencil in my eye and I can't see today.
20:47🔗DrewExactly. I don't know. I've not, you know, again, mushrooms are one of these drugs that you don't see.
20:51🔗CallerWell, because all my other friends, they didn't have any stomach pain.
20:54🔗DrewI've not heard of people complaining about stomach pain from doing a lot of mushrooms. And mushrooms are one of the drugs that nobody does a lot of. So I don't get a lot of experience seeing a lot of people who do a lot of the drugs.
21:03🔗AdamBut they grow in cow crap. So you could see where they may cause some irritation in some of the users. All right, Sarah. Now, you're not going to die.
21:14🔗CallerI know. But I mean, like, next time when I do mushrooms, like, what can I take to not have that huge pain?
21:19🔗Dave NavarroI want to throw some Tums back there with it.
21:21🔗AdamRight. How did you eat the mushrooms, Sarah? Did you put them in peanut butter? Did you make tea or something?
21:28🔗CallerI made them by themselves. And then I had, like, chips afterwards.
21:42🔗AdamThe Lestra. Hey, Drew, can you put that on vibrate? I was listening to that while... You know, it was funny. I was driving in and I was listening to the first minute of the show and I heard Drew's pager go off and I thought, Jesus Christ, how unprofessional. And then I thought, wait a minute, I host the show and I'm in my car, so maybe I shouldn't pass any judgment tonight. It's unacceptable. All right.
22:04🔗DrewIt is Love Line. We're here with David Navarro. We'll be right back. Hello. It is Love Line.
22:09🔗Call 1-800-LOVE-191. Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back.
22:44🔗Hi, this is Isabella Mico, and you're listening to Loveline with Adam and Drew.
22:50🔗AdamYes, you is. I don't know who Isabella Mico is either. All right. We shouldn't say that on the air. Dave Navarro is our guest tonight. The new CD is called Trust No One, comes out on Tuesday, the 19th. Also, Conan and Leno, 19th and 22nd. 22nd would be Conan. Reunion with Jane's Addiction.
23:37🔗AdamYeah. When Dave was on the TV show a couple of years ago talking about it, I think, with the book, the photo book, I thought it was a slice of genius back then.
23:48🔗Dave NavarroIt still is a slice of genius. Actually, the book's done, so. You stop. I'm sorry. We stop, yeah. The maintenance on the booth alone is just kind of a pain.
23:56🔗DrewYou can safely deliver pizza at his house, having to have your ass dragged into the photo booth.
24:01🔗AdamWell, I like the idea that I think Dave had like a disclaimer on his front door or something.
24:07🔗DrewIf you come in here, you're going to be photographed.
24:08🔗Dave NavarroSubject to having your lightness.
24:11🔗AdamRight. Like, you know, when they film out in the street sometimes and they hold that sign up, if you're walking by, you're liable to getting a shot. Yvette?
24:23🔗CallerI have a question. Okay, I thought of this really cool idea because I thought it would look cool. Now, my boyfriend said I could do it, but he said if they got stuck, I'd have to take them to the hospital and explain to the doctor how it happened. And I don't want to do that.
24:38🔗Dave NavarroBut I have to explain a lot better than you're explaining now.
24:41🔗CallerI'm going to explain to you right now what it is I want to do. And he said I can do this.
25:24🔗CallerOkay, there you go. Well, I thought that if I stepped those down his pee hole and I jacked them off, that when it shot out, it would shoot out like a confetti, you know? Now, he told me I could do this, but I put one of those in my mouth and they don't dissolve very fast, so I'm afraid they'll get stuck in there. I don't want to take them to the hospital and tell them that I stuck these in.
25:44🔗AdamNow, is this just because or is there a birthday coming up?
25:47🔗CallerIt's just because I want to see if it'll do well.
25:54🔗AdamI do too. I once filled my scrotum with silly string, attempting to do the same thing. Apparently, it's not hooked up the same way, and a very bad infection broke out.
26:04🔗CallerThey wouldn't go all the way down. They would just be there.
26:07🔗AdamThat's a good question. Quiet down, Nuts job. Let me ask Drew about this. How much... Is that urethra basically barren before that?
26:17🔗DrewThat is inside your body. You could put stuff in the rectum and have it come out and be okay.
26:28🔗Dave NavarroIt's going to assimilate into the wall.
26:30🔗DrewUrethra is a sterile environment. You put anything down there and you're going to get infections and all kinds of things.
26:35🔗AdamBut here's what I'm asking. What is in the urethra moments before one ejaculates?
26:41🔗DrewLubricants. The stuff from the prostate that keeps it lubricated.
26:44🔗AdamSo nothing really. But also, it's not like a cigar tube. It's not like you can put a funnel in the top and fill it up. The first piece you try to put in there is going to stick to the wall, clog it up.
26:54🔗DrewIt's not going to hurt like hell and probably start bleeding. And then get infected. That is inside your body. You might as well put something in your eye.
27:05🔗DrewDo you understand that Adam has trouble with this inside versus outside thing. You have a tube going from your mouth to your anus that is outside your body.
27:38🔗AdamFrom 10 feet away. I mean, it just wouldn't... It wouldn't stick to the side.
27:42🔗DrewAnd once you do that, you will get infections. It will cause stricturing of the urethra and you will have lifelong problems from your little game. I am serious. I am dead serious about it.
27:52🔗AdamReally? But, Yvette, what would your plan for filling the urethra be?
27:57🔗CallerI hadn't thought about how I was going to get him in.
28:01🔗DrewCan we go down the path of what the F is up with that boyfriend that he's even willing... Is he a heroin addict or something? Does he not feel pain? No, no, no.
28:07🔗CallerHe's just willing to let me do whatever I want to do.
28:10🔗AdamWell, how about you just give him an anema with, like, Clamado or something.
28:22🔗CallerYou know, I mean, I would imagine that since when he shoots it out, it shoots out, so I would imagine it would, with the force, it would shoot the little things out.
28:32🔗AdamI know. You're picturing sort of a room filled with sparkly magic and semen, but it wouldn't go that way. Yvette, you're not a mother, are you?
30:21🔗AdamListen, I really, I know it's sort of comical and sad at the same time. I really don't mind goofballs or insane people, and I don't mind them executing hair-brain schemes or floating stupid notions. Don't hurt anybody else. But when you got a couple of boys, already got molested by ex-jackass dad, that kind of thing.
30:40🔗Dave NavarroI want to make that the focus. Yeah.
30:43🔗AdamYes. Everyone, now your mommy. Focus on your sons, please, for the sake of society. Amy, and God knows what kind of guy, stepdad or new boyfriend is.
31:34🔗CallerOh, well, that was us. Thank you. Look, this is my question. I was thinking of getting the hood of my clit pierced or getting the lips pierced. I was just wondering if this is part of the body that would reject a piercing, or would it heal fast?
31:50🔗DrewWait, you went by that pretty quickly, what you're actually wanting to do.
31:58🔗Dave NavarroI would recommend the hood over the lips.
32:01🔗DrewThe thing about the hood, though, is that some people claim, report that it's desensitizing later.
32:06🔗Dave NavarroOh, is that right? Better for a while, and then it kind of gets My understanding was that the friction would create more of a stimulation.
32:12🔗DrewThat's what people report sometimes, but then they become sort of desensitized after a while.
32:15🔗Dave NavarroIf you do both, you know, the lips, if you do two of them, then they become handles. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Which is a nice change.
32:25🔗AdamAnd you slide a padlock through them. You know what I mean? When your boyfriend leaves town, just clamp the thing shut.
32:34🔗AdamYeah. Hey, but how does that stuff heal, by the way? Like, you know, I was thinking about the tongue, too. Like, if it's in a moist environment, you put a hole in it.
32:43🔗AdamYeah, I understand the lobe of the ear, you know, you sleep with the fan on it, and two days later, it's all closed up. But, I mean, it's dried up, but how does your tongue or your clitoral hood dry up?
32:56🔗Dave NavarroI don't mean dry up, but you actually have to keep it moist, actually, while it's healing.
33:02🔗DrewBut he's asking, because it's tough for some wounds to heal when they are moist, and mouth sores take forever to heal, and how does the tongue thing not get infected? It epithelializes very quickly, the tongue for some reason heals real fast.
33:15🔗DrewI guess also, I don't know for sure that's quickly, but in terms of rejection, rejection primarily, or the most common rejection sites is the eyelid, excuse me, the eyebrow, the eyelid would be very interesting, the eyebrow and the belly button, those are the two most common rejection sites.
33:29🔗Dave NavarroOh, cool. I mean, I have the nipples done, that was like about a nine month to a year long healing process. Really? Yeah.
33:37🔗Dave NavarroNo, about nine months is about average. Really? I had no idea. Before you can like start tugging on it, and you know, I mean, it's sensitive for that long, you know.
33:44🔗CallerWell, I only had my ears pierced, and they only take like two weeks to heal.
33:47🔗DrewThat's the earlobe, though. That's where piercings belong.
33:50🔗AdamRight. God intended piercings to go on the lobes, but not on the hood. Or he would have put your hood on your ear.
33:59🔗AdamRight. You too? No. What? Dave. All right. Hey, Amy. Yeah, good luck. I mean, good times. And who do you get to do this? You get to just... I don't know.
34:08🔗CallerI'm going to look around LA somewhere.
34:40🔗CallerI wanted to know if prolonged use of a ring would have any kind of damaging effect.
34:46🔗AdamSeems like it. Yeah, but hold on a second. We're going to take a break and then we'll get back with the question, OK? OK, there it is. Dave Navarro is our guest tonight. We'll hear something off the new CD, Trust No One, which is out on Tuesday, the 19th. And we'll also get back with Lenol and his penis ring after this.
36:35🔗DrewBut whatever happened to your store? Oh, rings and lava lamps?
36:40🔗AdamYeah, I was going to open a store in a mall just called simply C rings and lava lamps. But then I was told by our program director, I could not say the C word on air. So I didn't want to open the store. But now the balls are not threaded through the C ring as far as I know, at least not traditionally.
37:00🔗Dave NavarroI think there's some that incorporate the testicles. Yes. Just simply cut off the circulation.
37:04🔗DrewThe traditional penis ring worn by the kings of European royalty.
37:29🔗AdamDid not. I see. But here's what I'm asking. You wear this C ring at the base of your penis to keep the blood, and keep your penis engorged. So wearing one for six months straight would be near impossible. Right. Because as soon as you deflate it, it would fall off.
37:45🔗Dave NavarroThat's why it would be a problem.
37:47🔗DrewWell, what if you could keep it erect all the time?
38:15🔗DrewIt would probably be equivalent to priapism, which is that a prolonged erection, a painful erection can result in no erection.
38:21🔗Dave NavarroIt's a side effect from some kind of medication sometimes.
38:24🔗AdamI'll tell you where the real damage would occur, the area surrounding the toilet in one's bathroom. As they try to relieve themselves with a full-blown erection. We've all got up in the morning and whizzed all over the magazine rack, and then all over that shag carpet you keep around the bowl, and all that kind of stuff. I mean, can you imagine urinating for six months, what that bathroom would look like?
38:59🔗AdamWell, that's a man. I have three of them actually. Thank you. Dave Navarro is our guest. Trust No One is the name of the new CD, which is out on the 19th, and this one is called Rexall. There's Rex All Off A Trust No One, new Dave Navarro CD, which will be out on the 19th. And then that night on The Night Show with Leno, and then the 22nd on Conan. And also Jane's Addiction, Reunion, Reunion, Reunion.
44:17🔗CallerWhy did you leave the Red Hat Chili Peppers?
44:20🔗Dave NavarroWe just, you know what, we made a record together. We weren't coming from the same place musically. I think it's evident if you listen to that record. I think it's a good record. I don't think it's an amazing one. I'm proud of it. I think that it's obvious that we just have different schools of playing and after that album was done and the cycle of touring was done, it was just kind of time to move on. We gave it a try and that was that.
45:10🔗AdamBut listen, Carolyn, anybody can be a jerk at any given time and just like you can be a bitch depending on when we catch you, what happened, the events leading up to it and all that stuff.
45:21🔗DrewYou'd be shocked to find that Adam can be an a-hole once in a while.
45:26🔗Dave NavarroBut I can guarantee you that he's not a jerk and it was probably the time of day.
45:30🔗AdamI'm sure of it. All right, should we take a break? Who are we going to talk to when we come back, Drew? Heroin? No. What's the no, you want a heroin question?
45:39🔗Dave NavarroI thought that we were going to do that in the break.
45:42🔗AdamAnd then we're going to talk about it. Dave Navarro is not a jerk, is here tonight and we'll be back after this. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Pennywise in here tomorrow night.
46:37🔗AdamYeah, that ought to be a good time. And I have no idea why they're back, but they are back tomorrow night.
46:43🔗DrewWe have low self-esteem, as you pointed out.
46:45🔗AdamWell, also, it was presented. I mean, Pennywise, when they did the show seven years ago, they left and the quote was, never again. Then, they did the show two years ago, and still the quote went back to, never again.
47:00🔗DrewWhy did we do that again? What was the matter with us? What the hell is going on here?
47:05🔗AdamAnd then, when it was presented to us three weeks to a month ago, we said, what the hell? But listen, here's the way I look at it. And I don't want to sound like I'm unselfish or trying to do good radio for a second, because I don't like our listeners for the most part. But I thought to myself, well, you and Drew will be uncomfortable when Pennywise comes into the studio tomorrow night, but the folks at home will probably enjoy it.
48:48🔗AdamYeah. Why don't you bring some drugs in tomorrow night. In case I have to bite down on something. I'll keep it in my cheek. If all hell breaks loose, I'll just chomp down on it. Go to sleep. You can wake me up in the ER. Right. All right. Dave Navarro here. Don't Trust No One, name of the CD. Also 311 and Sum 41 coming in here a little bit later this week. And Dan.
49:18🔗CallerWhat's the cause? I'm an addict. I went to a psychiatrist for a consultation appointment and he told me that first of all that no psychiatrist would treat me except if it was in a rehab center. And the second thing he told me was that well he threatened to have me committed because he said I was slowly committing suicide.
49:44🔗DrewWell I wish he could commit you. I don't know what the laws are like in New Jersey but if he can it possibly could save your life.
50:05🔗CallerWell it was that and I've kind of gotten a little bit brighter since then but I still have the issue that I started, were the reasons I started in the first place.
50:17🔗DrewAnd that is nondoubtedly the case but nothing can be done for those until your heroin addiction is treated. You have a disease now and that clouds everything else and that requires inpatient treatment for many, for several weeks at minimum.
50:30🔗DrewAnd any psychologist or psychiatrist worth a damn would require that. No way this could be done as an outpatient and no way is individual therapy going to have much of an impact on this at this point.
50:39🔗AdamHey Dan, is your angle to work out the problems that got you into the heroin in the first place and then eliminate the need for the heroin?
50:48🔗CallerNo, I realize that I can't do it that way but I was hoping to get a head start because I'm... No.
50:54🔗Dave NavarroI mean, it's not much of a head start that you can get. I mean, it is encouraging to see that you are looking somewhere for some kind of help but I would say that if you have the means, go to rehab man.
51:05🔗DrewCheck in. That's it. That is the only hope, Dan.
51:07🔗Dave NavarroAnd I'll tell you something, it's like a 30 day vacation in a sense from like killing yourself. You can always get high afterwards.
51:14🔗AdamThat's a good point. They don't tell you that.
51:16🔗Dave NavarroThey won't. You can always get high. You don't always have a chance to save your life.
51:21🔗AdamThat's right. Double your heroin back. I'll give you an even bigger balloon if you don't graduate.
51:26🔗CallerAnd what about the other thing that he told me though?
51:29🔗DrewAbout him committing you? I don't know what the... In California we couldn't do that. I wish we could. I swear to God there are times when I could have could save people's lives.
51:40🔗DrewIf I could just get somebody locked somewhere for a couple weeks. And get them physically off, their brain is working differently at the end of those two weeks.
52:05🔗CallerOkay. Um, uh, Drew, you're awesome. But Adam, I have to say, how dare you? Why? I've been home school all my life and you're always this not home school and stuff. But anyway, my question is this. Like, I'm home schooled and all and I wonder if that makes me screwed up enough to be a psychologist.
52:21🔗DrewOh, to be a psychologist. Interesting question.
52:23🔗CallerYeah. Like, you're always saying that, you know, you have to be really screwed up and stuff.
52:25🔗DrewHey, there's a book. Oh, I got a great book for you. What's it called? The, The Drama of the Gifted Child.
52:31🔗DrewAnd, uh, that's a good one for co-dependents like yourself, Craig.
52:34🔗AdamIt was banned from the home school library.
52:36🔗DrewGo read that book and you see if that doesn't ring out what, what homeschooling has done for you and why you might be, be good therapists. Okay? Okay.
53:36🔗AdamAll right. Well, they won't be clouding your thinking with all that Darwinism and all that other scientific nonsense, right? That's really the bottom line. The earth is 2,000 years old and get used to it. All right, Craig. Good times there, buddy.
54:05🔗Dave NavarroIt's good. Extra curricular water activities.
54:07🔗AdamGood times there, Craig. Is your mom your teacher? Yes. Could you imagine? Sitting home with your mom all day.
54:15🔗Dave NavarroYeah. I think she's actually a porpoise.
54:19🔗AdamDrew, could you imagine your mom sitting home with your mom?
54:22🔗DrewYou know, but that's all day. Not all moms are meant to be teachers. So maybe some moms would be fun to be, you know, they're sort of into it.
54:34🔗CallerReal quick, I'm actually a resident professional in body modification at a studio out here in LA. And for that girl with the clitoris thing, that takes like six months to heal and you can't have any sexual activities until exactly two months after you get it.
55:08🔗CallerThe Prince Albert, well it depends on who does it because there's a bunch of new methods out now where they don't actually use needles anymore. Instead we're using scalpels now.
56:45🔗AdamThat's a great way to start a conversation. What happened to you, Jerkoff?
56:49🔗DrewThat's the reason they come up to you? Sometimes, yeah.
56:52🔗CallerI get the biggest response, actually, from older black women. Oh, really? They go crazy when they see that. They're like, Oh, my God, Todd, what did you do?
57:01🔗AdamOh, great. So you can date Aunt Esther. Fantastic. All right, Todd, what was your question?
57:07🔗CallerAll right. Today being Father's Day, I don't spend a lot of time with my dad, and I spent some time with him when we were talking, and he was telling me about some stories from my past that I had no recollection of. Like, when I was three years old, I was actually really physically abused by one of my mom's boyfriends.
57:23🔗DrewThat's where the impulse, we find that's where the impulse comes to do a lot of body modifications.
57:30🔗CallerYeah, because that's what I was thinking, because I mean, I'm pretty, like, I'm really tatted down for being twenty years old. I have about seventy-five percent of my body tattooed.
57:38🔗DrewBut isn't it interesting how that drive comes from somewhere? It gets wired into your brain by those physical abuse experiences, and then you just do it, and here you are talking very abstractly about it with us, yet the connection with those drives are sort of not available to your consciousness.
57:53🔗CallerThat's what I was wondering, because he told me about this big situation where he used to beat the crap out of it. I was like three years old, and he beat the crap out of me for wetting the bed, like leaving well-
58:02🔗AdamYeah, now this was your mom's boyfriend, your stepdad?
58:06🔗CallerIt was, yeah, he was there for like, I guess, six or seven months.
58:09🔗DrewThat's just so awful. Do you have any impulses to hit kids or anything yourself?
58:12🔗CallerNo. I actually do have a son, and he gets treated great, because my dad, my real dad, he would never lay a hand on me, because he was really beat down when he was a kid. Right. He brought that over to where he would never be.
58:25🔗AdamWhere was he when you were being beaten around?
58:27🔗CallerThat's actually a funny story, because as soon as he found out, he went to this guy's work with like a 45, and he held it to his head and told the guy, I'm not afraid to pull this trigger, and if you ever touch my kid again, you're dead. Then after that, the guy took off. He was gone.
58:43🔗Dave NavarroIt's still a pretty violent background.
58:45🔗DrewYeah. Right. I'm curious if he has any sexual fetishes or anything with this dude too, because that's the other thing that comes out of this sometimes.
58:52🔗CallerYeah. I have a lot of sexual fetishes.
59:29🔗DrewGiven that you make that, we're all making that connection here between the physical abuse, the bondage, sexuality, and the piercing, and the rendering of piercing.
59:38🔗DrewWell, let's keep addiction out of it because that's a different thing. The addiction piece is the rocket fuel behind what you're doing. You know what I mean? Because it gives you that much more thrill to all this. Yeah. But let's just take the recipe of being physically abused and wanting to pierce and wanting to give piercings and stuff. Do you think that it's a good thing, that somebody should help you contain those impulses to do all this to your body, and that would be better? Or somehow it's therapeutic for you to do all this? You understand the question I'm asking? The question I'm asking, Dave, I'll throw the question to you too, is containing these impulses that come from these early traumas a good thing?
1:00:18🔗CallerI can't contain them mostly because I'll explode.
1:00:20🔗DrewI understand. And finding other maybe creative ways of letting them out. Or is it therapeutic for you to do this stuff to yourself and other people?
1:00:27🔗CallerSometimes when I sit down for like a setting on a tattoo that's going to go seven or eight hours long, like the work I have done on most of my books, it's like real therapeutic. For some reason, it kind of makes me feel like I can handle more from handling that and dealing with that.
1:00:42🔗DrewIs that in fact what happens or does it just feel that way?
1:00:45🔗CallerSometimes that's what happens and sometimes it just feels like that.
1:00:48🔗Dave NavarroFor me, the creative and the therapeutic process is always the best way to handle something like that and dealing with those kinds of issues. And I've always found that the actual modification or the sexual acting out, the piercing and so forth is more of a form of denial. It's more of a distraction.
1:01:06🔗DrewIsn't it getting stuck in? It's a repetition compulsion of sorts? It doesn't get you out of...
1:01:12🔗Dave NavarroWell, it takes you out of the head. You know what I mean? It would take me out of the head.
1:01:24🔗Dave NavarroAnd it's empowering. I mean, there's something that's empowering about it. I think that's why a lot of sexually abused people...
1:01:29🔗DrewWell, the empowering is reclaiming the body, like you say. And one addict patient described it as, hey, I'm going to f myself up as far as somebody else fs me up again. I'm going to take it over myself and do it to myself.
1:01:41🔗Dave NavarroAnd there's also, in sexual abuse, there's also that whole thought process of making yourself unattractive for future, you know, station.
1:01:53🔗AdamAll right. Yeah, but then you end up attracting a bunch of other people that were abused in a way, so you end up getting more tail.
1:02:01🔗Dave NavarroBut you also, at the same time, connect with those people on an intimate level.
1:02:05🔗AdamRight. Well, in a way, it's a sort of, it's a non-verbal connection. I mean, you're walking around, you've modified yourself, you've marked yourself in a sense, you see someone across the bar has been marked, then you're brought together.
1:02:29🔗CallerFirst off, a comment on that girl with the nymphomania. I am 40 and really getting in deep with a lot of, you know, old issues from my life. I've been in therapy, real therapy, for about four months now. And it's like, that sounds like, I mean, nymphomania to guys, you know, it sounds like fun and all that. And I know in the past, I've always felt like you're losing something, you're gonna give something up, you know, if you start dealing with your issues, you're gonna lose your edge or whatever, you know. And it's like, it's hard, but your life really does get better. And it's not like, you know, you get treated for that and you're never gonna enjoy sex or anything like that.
1:03:12🔗DrewYou're finally gonna be actually gratified by it.
1:03:21🔗AdamI don't mean, I mean it metaphorically, but I mean, any time, you know, any time you do want anything to sort of make yourself whole, whether it's, you know, getting a tat, doing some heroin or banging some transvestite, it's good. You're good for 20 minutes, but then there's tomorrow night and you got to do it again.
1:03:41🔗CallerRight. I mean, I don't have any experience directly with that, but it's all vaguely similar and you're not losing anything. You know, it's just, it's...
1:03:53🔗Dave NavarroWell, on the sexual tip, you're also kind of learning what's beautiful about it as opposed to using it for something to hide behind.
1:04:01🔗CallerWell, yeah, exactly. You've still got...
1:04:03🔗Dave NavarroThe motivation isn't to run from fear. The motivation is to experience something intimate and beautiful.
1:04:08🔗CallerRight. Well, it takes on so much more depth. Right. It just becomes incredibly deep and enriching. And I mean, you know, I don't know, when I was 20, that probably sounded pretty dull. You know, I don't know. I just remember, you know, when I was younger, you just always kind of felt like somehow you were going to lose your edge. You were going to lose... You know what I mean?
1:04:28🔗AdamWell, you know, whatever... And thanks for the call, John. Drew, we've talked about this time and time again, but whatever it is you're working hard to avoid does not want to be... I'm trying to think of the word here, but does not want to be brought to the light.
1:04:46🔗DrewYeah, it will do anything. It will make you think all kinds of things as good reasons not to do it.
1:04:50🔗AdamRight. You will call the therapist, rent a friend, and that kind of stuff, and you'll avoid... Whatever that part of you that's sort of controlling you and running you does not want to be brought to justice, does not want to read the books, does not want to sit in the therapist's office. It just wants to get high and get in the denial or engage in gambling or whatever addictive behavior it wants to engage in. So that's a pretty powerful part, and I believe it starts to subside as the years wear on. Maybe it loses its strength, maybe you get older, maybe you stop producing so much testosterone, maybe you get a little wiser, maybe it gets tiring. I don't know what it is.
1:05:28🔗Dave NavarroSometimes it just gets old. It just gets boring.
1:05:32🔗AdamYes, it rarely gets boring at 19 or 21 or 23, but somewhere in the 30s, hopefully, it gets boring, it gets old and you're looking for a change. The saddest people are the people that are like in their 50s and 60s and still knee deep in their ass. Then it's like, okay, well, you've just taken it to the grave at that point. Let's talk to Kimberly, who's 30.
1:07:03🔗CallerAnyways, I'm such a spaz. Okay, hey, one more thing. Okay, are you going to do a solo tour? And if so, where and how can I come and see you? You're probably thinking, I want you to come and see me.
1:07:16🔗Dave NavarroNo, you know what? I'm thrilled to have you come and see me. At least somebody will be there. Well, we got Jane's Addiction coming up in August, and I think that's going to go to mid-September, and then hopefully sometime in the fall, October. Want to do The States?
1:07:29🔗CallerI think that would just be so awesome.
1:07:30🔗Dave NavarroWell, thanks. Yeah, I mean, I'm planning on doing it in the fall sometime, and you know, it's hard to plan that far in advance, especially when I have some things open-ended as Jane's Addiction happening, but it definitely will happen, and I will definitely see you there.
1:07:42🔗CallerI saw you at the Santa Barbara Bowl.
1:07:44🔗AdamAll right. Oh, no. Hey, Kimberly, the CD is out the 19th, Leno the 19th, and Conan the 22nd, and when we come back, I want to talk to Jen, who's 12, had sex, might be pregnant. Oh my God. All right. We'll get into Jen after this. Hello.
1:08:05🔗This is your radio. Love Line will be right back.
1:08:45🔗AdamHey, it's Pennywise. Pennywise, tomorrow night. You can hear them right now if you're listening to me and or the radio. That ought to be an interesting reunion. Dave Navarro is our guest tonight. Trust No One is the name of the new CD, which will be out coming up the 19th. And then also on the 19th, Leno and Conan on the 22nd. Of course, the Weenie Rose coming up and the Jane's Addiction, Reunion, Reunion, Reunion. So it's all good and it's always good to see, Dave, and really very insightful, very insightful, and very thought provoking as usual. Jen?
1:10:10🔗AdamOh, baby. And what's happening at home? Bad things?
1:10:16🔗Dave NavarroYeah, well, I used to get abused by my mother, my father and mother, but then they divorced and now my mother beat me and I went to a foster home for a bit and I came back but she doesn't beat me that much anymore.
1:11:14🔗AdamBecause it's going to be a real, I mean, we can get into the pregnancy and all that stuff in a second. We will. But if you keep going this way, Jen, it's going to be a real long unhappy life for you. You know what I mean? I mean, I know you're spinning around like a like a dreidel and your parents are horrible people and they dumped all this crap on your lap. But don't care. Don't keep the crap going yourself. And they did the abusing. Now you're going to abuse yourself, essentially. Do you know what I'm saying?
1:12:19🔗Dave NavarroI mean, because you're feeling pretty uncomfortable, right? And that's only a result of your actions here, which, you know, nothing we can do about now, but you can definitely not repeat them. You can pick up an EPT. You know what that is?
1:12:37🔗Dave NavarroOh. Um, I don't think I can, because I don't want my mother to figure it out.
1:12:43🔗Dave NavarroWell, is there a way that you can get a whole, you got, you know, you can get a hold of one of those without your mother finding out. You definitely, you had sex without her finding out.
1:12:57🔗Dave NavarroIt's just like a little, it's like a little stick, and I think you put urine on it, and it gives you a plus or a minus, or depending on the brand. I got a bunch of them in the trunk.
1:13:08🔗AdamHey, Jen. Do you have anybody at school you can talk to, a counselor, anything like that?
1:14:31🔗DrewNo. It has nothing to do with your mom. You can go and get treatment. It doesn't have to cost you anything and no one else has to know except you. Okay? That's what you need to do. Let's stay focused on one thing at a time.
1:14:55🔗Dave NavarroYou don't even know if you're pregnant yet.
1:14:57🔗DrewBut then if you get a punch hard enough, you'll rupture a viscous and you'll go in the hospital and then your mother will find out that you're pregnant. Yeah.
1:15:04🔗AdamYeah. And wouldn't you feel stupid getting socked in the stomach and not even being pregnant?
1:16:05🔗AdamJust a nice working over. I could do it in one, just one big left hook, right in the kidneys there. They don't even realize what they're doing, and I'm sure mom was beat on by her dad, and so it goes. But I'll tell you, girls, we talk about this all the time, they're so much more fragile than guys. When this happens to guys, they end up getting in fights. They get into trouble, they beat up guys on the football team and that kind of stuff. But I mean, picture Jen, picture what the next five, ten years for Jen is going to be looking like. She needs to find help, she needs to find it today. Todd?
1:16:51🔗CallerI guess my question is, I've been really good friends with this girl, probably my best friend for about six months. Tonight we just had sex and I was just wondering, we talked about it and we don't really seem to have romantic feelings towards each other, but I was wondering whether you thought that having a sexual relationship with a best friend necessarily will ruin the relationship or the friendship.
1:17:17🔗DrewWell, at your age, usually the friendship develops because somebody has some sexual inclination or at least romantic inclination.
1:17:28🔗DrewWell, she's into it. She's just telling you she's not.
1:17:31🔗CallerShe... I'm pretty sure she's not. I mean, she's actually here, right here. She's... She's pretty not... I mean, I don't think she's into me.
1:17:43🔗Dave NavarroThere's a lot of things about this whole like, will it do this or that kind of questions that, like... No one's going to know the answer to that until it happens.
1:17:52🔗DrewUntil it happens already. What's your name?
1:19:58🔗AdamWhy? But you just said the reason you don't want to make this a relationship is because of his track record with women. He doesn't treat women well.
1:21:02🔗DrewRobin, you must be honest here. This is ridiculous. You're going around in this denial about how you feel about this guy. And if you do not open with him about what you're feeling and with yourself, you're going to get badly hurt and this obviously isn't going to go anywhere. And you're afraid if you're open with him, you're going to lose the friendship, too. Well, the friendship is just there so you can cling to those feelings.
1:21:20🔗AdamRight. You're scared you're going to scare him away in general if you don't sort of play along with him.
1:21:27🔗DrewOr worse yet, you'll get into a relationship and he'll leave. It's all bad if you're honest, but it's all bad if you're not honest.
1:21:33🔗AdamI'm still curious about Robin though. Family intact. Where's dad? What's he do?
1:22:02🔗AdamOkay. Here's the deal with Robin. Yeah. She likes you. All right. It's not just a platonic thing with some fringe benefits. She's 18. She's a female. She wouldn't mind having it be more than that. What do you think about that?
1:22:16🔗CallerI think that would definitely ruin our friendship.
1:22:30🔗AdamNo. That's just a company line you're towing. That's nonsense. You're not interested in her as a girlfriend.
1:22:38🔗CallerI'm not. But I honestly don't think she's interested in me as a girlfriend.
1:22:41🔗AdamOkay. She is. But here's the deal. What do you care about the friendship? If you're interested in her as a girlfriend, the friendship could be damned. I mean, when's the last time you said, well, I'm really attracted to someone and I'd like them to be my girlfriend, but I can't because it'll ruin our friendship?
1:23:13🔗CallerI won't. Let's just say that happens, right? And then let's say, hypothetically, that she did want to be my girlfriend, which I'm not saying is true, but if that was true, then we're still not gonna go out.
1:23:26🔗DrewThat's fine. Then you work through that as friends.
1:23:34🔗DrewYou're not into it. You should not be dishonest with your feelings either, but you should help her get a boyfriend. She should be a good friend. You should be very supportive. She'll appreciate you being kind to her.
1:23:41🔗Dave NavarroProbably shouldn't be having sex with her.
1:23:42🔗DrewYou should not be having sex with her. That is not okay. That is not okay that's gonna harm her.
1:24:07🔗AdamAlright, we'll take ourselves a little break. Dave Navarro here. We'll hear something off the new CD after this.
1:24:15🔗Love Line will be right back, so get your problems ready. Ready.
1:24:49🔗AdamHey, everybody, Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Drew. Pennywise in here tomorrow night. That ought to be an interesting affair. 311 and some 41. Also coming up this week, Dave Navarro is coming to the studio with a revelation.
1:25:06🔗Dave NavarroI just need to ask a friend of mine something. Sure. PH, will you please swing by the bakery? You have 15 minutes.
1:25:21🔗AdamAnd we're going to repay Dave by playing something off the new CD, Trust No One, which is out on Tuesday the 19th. This one is called Hungry. There you go. Hungry, that is another good one, off of Trust No One, Dave Navarro's latest CD, which again will be out coming up this Tuesday on the 19th. Also, find him with Jane's Addiction in a town near you over the summer, right?
1:29:38🔗CallerYou know that thing you said that the only cure for AIDS is not to get it? Right. There's a commercial on TV and it says the only way to get rid of debt is to get out of it.
1:29:49🔗AdamThe only way to get rid of debt is to get out of it?
1:29:56🔗CallerMy question is, my friend, she's 19, she had a kidney transplant a few years ago. I'm not exactly sure how many years. She's been drinking and I was wondering if that could affect the kidney.
1:30:08🔗DrewAlcohol? Not really. It may raise her blood pressure a little bit. It might change her medication, depending on what medication she's on.
1:30:14🔗Dave NavarroIt's more a liver issue, isn't it?
1:30:16🔗DrewMore liver, but it's not a good thing. Let's put it that way. It's not like she's doing cocaine, which would be a very bad thing.
1:30:49🔗CallerHe was for a brief time, but I'm pretty sure, we're both pretty sure, he contracted it through tattoos. Both of his tethers were home made guns.
1:30:57🔗DrewOh, that's interesting, but he's an IV drug user. IV drug addicts get hepatitis C.
1:31:01🔗CallerHe did use a few needles at one point in his life.
1:31:04🔗DrewHey, Denise, people don't use just a few needles, okay? That never happens like that.
1:31:08🔗CallerHe's been sober for six years. I've been sober for five. It's non-issue now, but...
1:31:12🔗DrewI understand, but IV drug addicts get hepatitis C. That's how you get it. You don't have to worry about anything else.
1:31:18🔗AdamLeave the guy in his stigma alone. Say he got it from a prison tat, so he can save some face.
1:31:29🔗CallerHe hasn't now, and I could be at risk. My question was, is I've had three different opinions on how easy it is to contract it sexually. We know about the blood issue, and we're very careful about that. We don't care if there are toothbrushes, combs, nothing. But I've heard there's a 3% chance, I've heard there's a 7% chance, I've heard there's an up to a million percent chance.
1:31:49🔗DrewAnd no one knows, Anise, that's why you're getting so many opinions. I have seen cases where I'm convinced there was sexual transmission, but it's relatively uncommon.
1:31:56🔗CallerNow, the day before yesterday, he was using his fingers to please me sexually, and while he was extracting his finger, he scratched me pretty hard with his fingernail and caused an abrasion. So I don't know what the, if there's an increased chance of...
1:32:10🔗Dave NavarroThere's no membranous part of his finger.
1:32:13🔗DrewThere was no fluid coming out of him, so we've got to let that heal. But listen, here's my bigger concern is, why is he not having his hepatitis C treated?
1:32:20🔗CallerHe is. He's just now, we had took a while. We found out through a blood donation.
1:32:27🔗CallerThat he got this virus and we had no insurance. And we kind of, I hope he's... By the way, I gave you a false name, not to insult you, but there's a reason why. We had to pretty much lie to get coverage.
1:32:38🔗DrewAll right. But did you, do we know what his viral loads are now, his viral titers?
1:32:43🔗CallerHis, I think it's the white blood cell count.
1:32:46🔗DrewNo, no, no. They should be able to tell you that his viral, actual viral load may be way, way down.
1:32:50🔗CallerYeah, it's about three times higher than it should be normally.
1:32:54🔗DrewNo, no, no, no, no, no, no. The actual viral, just like with HIV.
