1:07🔗VoiceoverAdam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline Coast to Coast.
1:12🔗DrewHey, it is Loveline. I'm Dr. Drew. Adam Corolla will be with us momentarily. In the studio with me, Puddle of Mudd, new album is, well, not new album, it's been out for a while, Come Clean. In the studio is Wes Scantlin, lead singer and Greg Upchurch, the drummer. How long has the album been out for?
1:58🔗DrewOh my God. How many guys are there in the band? Four?
2:01🔗Puddle of MuddFour. Four people. Paul Phillips is a guitar player and Doug Ardito is the bass player. He got Greg Uppchurch on the drums and Wesley Scanlon on the drums.
2:09🔗DrewFour musicians stuck in a van for how many months?
2:21🔗Puddle of MuddYeah, Kingston, Oklahoma. A little thousand town.
2:25🔗DrewHow did you guys meet up? How did this happen?
2:28🔗Puddle of MuddWell, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I went to a Family Values Concert and Limp Bizkit was playing with Korn and a bunch of other awesome bands. And I had a demo tape with me and a friend of mine had some fake backstage passes and we got backstage and I gave it to Fred's security guard, Richie, and he called back a few weeks later. And then we flew out to Los Angeles and that's where I met my homeboy over here, Greg, and Paul.
3:40🔗DrewOkay. And that fell apart. You came out here to perform with them or?
3:44🔗Puddle of MuddNo, I just came out here because Fred called me up and he was like, hey man, I really like the music and I think you're a great singer and I want to help you out.
3:54🔗DrewSo, he brought you out and he put everybody together out here?
3:57🔗Puddle of MuddWe didn't really, I mean, I guess, you know.
4:12🔗Puddle of MuddThere you go. All right. Got it.
4:14🔗DrewNow I got it. All right. You know this show works. You just chime in whenever you want. You can't say anything. Well, you can't say things wrong, but I'm here to make sure nothing happens as a result.
4:55🔗DrewThat is disgusting. I feel sorry for you guys.
4:58🔗If you do that too many times, swallowing and stuff, is it true that you can have to have your stomach pumped?
5:04🔗DrewI've never seen... You sit around Sacramento thinking about these things. I've never seen that happen. I've spent a lot of hours in emergency rooms.
5:12🔗Because I heard that happened to little Kim. I'm so serious.
5:17🔗DrewI would think at the point at which you would want your stomach pumped, you'd be vomiting anyway. And the real issue here is that there are potential for sexually transmitted diseases. Just the same ones you can get by gentle contact. You can get them from giving the old oral sex.
5:46🔗DrewHow would we know that video? What happens in it?
5:48🔗I don't remember the name of the song, but it's where you're walking down the middle of the road and you grab the keys out of the truck and you throw the keys out in the mud.
5:57🔗Puddle of MuddRight. That's a good video, man. Thank you.
6:00🔗I bought the CD yesterday. I haven't learned all the tracks on it yet, but just got it.
6:08🔗My question is, for the last two years or so, I've been kind of living with anxiety disorder. I think it's an anxiety. I'm not sure yet.
6:17🔗DrewYou're 22. You should kind of have that figured out.
6:20🔗CallerYeah. Well, okay. I guess, yeah, I kind of do. I'm just kind of curious. Basically, is there anything that I can do by myself and on my own? Maybe reading materials or anything that I can research or learn about? Maybe I can overcome this on my own? Or should I?
6:37🔗DrewYou might check out the website, the National Institute of Mental Health, but anxiety disorders, there is a behavioral component. I know at University of Washington, they have a big behavioral program for treatment of anxiety. So they may have something out. So you might try the medical school at University of Washington. But generally, anxiety is thought of as something that responds to either medication or to therapy. Therapy is about developing a new sense of yourself in relationship to another person. So it's not something you can really do by yourself. Oh, really? Yeah. You can certainly read about how to change behavior. You can read about how this works. You can read about the biology of it. And there are medications that are very effective, too. Oftentimes, this is really a mood disorder associated with it. So NIMH and University of Washington, okay? National Institute of Mental Health and University of Washington. Check out their websites for the medical school at University of Washington.
7:31🔗All right. What's up, Dr. Drew? I've been listening for a long time for Spine Caller. And last weekend, my girlfriend and I, we had a threesome with another chick. And I was just wondering, because she was like totally into the other girls.
7:46🔗Puddle of MuddI'd never got a threesome at 17.
7:47🔗Puddle of MuddThere was only like four girls in my high school.
7:50🔗DrewThey had to form a rock band and go on the road for a few years before the death of them. Who was this person? Who were these women? Women. How old were they?
8:58🔗Puddle of MuddOh man, they're breaking out the toys.
9:00🔗DrewWell, no, here's the deal about threesomes is that everyone has their own sort of nefarious reasons for getting into them, but they always cause feelings that you don't expect and it always destabilizes the relationship. Very few relationships survive this. If this were someone you wanted to stay with, your girlfriend, you shouldn't have let this happen. But on the other hand, it was her idea. It sounds like she's kind of lesbian anyway, that she's more into her girlfriend than she is into you. Was she sexually abused or anything?
9:24🔗CallerNot that I know of. But when we're together, we have sex on a regular basis.
10:53🔗And I've noticed as I've gotten older, my nipples are like turned in. And what can I do to bring them out?
11:05🔗DrewThere are, I believe, there's some surgical procedures for that. And you can sort of keep them worked out. There's, you know, lubricants and things that you can see a dermatologist might be able to help you with that. General surgeons can.
12:00🔗AdamDrew, I'm trying to ask if she can get her nipples out. Does she not know what I'm asking?
12:06🔗DrewShe can, and she was actually experimenting with them as you asked her, but she really needs you to know how big her breasts are. That's the big thing.
12:13🔗AdamI know, but I just want to know if she can get them out. She doesn't. She's sort of, I guess, or maybe, or I'm not sure.
12:19🔗DrewAll right, here we go. Jen? Jen? Yes. Can you get them? Can you coax them out?
12:24🔗One of them I can and the other one I can't.
13:01🔗AdamAll right. Let me do some quick radio math here, fellas. 5'3, 5'4, 155. I got 5'1, 5'8, 168. So she's a stout gal. What if the breasts were smaller, Drew? Would it help?
13:32🔗AdamBut would you say it's less likely or you don't know?
13:35🔗DrewI'd say it's less likely. It's less likely to be a problem, that's for sure. This is like, this is when they're like this, they sort of fold in and get irritated and it can be a real pain in the neck. Right, right, Jen? Jen?
14:44🔗Puddle of MuddYeah. What's up? Go ahead, brother.
14:46🔗What's y'all's relationship with Fred Durst?
14:49🔗Because I was watching one of your music videos and I noticed that he directed Come Clean.
14:58🔗Puddle of MuddYeah. He directed Control and he directed Blurry, both the videos and he originally signed me in the band and stuff. And he's a great friend of ours and he helps us. You know, amazing. Gives us amazing help and guidance, man. He's a really.
15:15🔗Puddle of MuddHe doesn't really overdo anything.
15:34🔗CallerHey, how you doing? Hey. I have a question. Yeah. About the most contagious one. I was wondering about a year ago, Dr. told me that I have it and I was just wondering what kind of sex life I can have with it.
15:48🔗DrewWhat kind of? Well, it's easily curable. Didn't he take care of it?
16:15🔗DrewNo, they don't. They usually go away. In fact, it's molluscum contagiosum. The band is looking very- here. I'm confused. Molluscum contagiosum. Okay. It's a virus, common, causes a little- looks like zits with a hard top on them. And if you peel them, a little shell pops off usually.
16:32🔗AdamDrew, I love when you say, I love when you say spoon them out.
16:35🔗DrewYeah, you can spoon them out. Shell them out is what I say, shell them out.
16:40🔗DrewNo, it's like a melon baller. You shell them out. Oh, man. And that's it. It's a virus. It's contagious. It doesn't hurt anybody. And it's actually transmitted. Do women get them? Yeah, women do get it. It goes away. It probably could go away if you left it alone, but it can be pretty awful. It can be spread all over the place. They need to be taken care of. Why in the hell don't you have them taken care of? I have.
17:27🔗Puddle of MuddIt was really awesome. But anyways, my question was, I just found out I'm like about a month or so along. I'm pregnant and I have my nipples pierced and I was wondering if you can, if I have to take them out to breastfeed.
18:22🔗Puddle of MuddThis is why I'm getting help, okay, because I can't stop drinking.
18:25🔗DrewYeah, but you need to go somewhere now before you harm this child.
18:28🔗Puddle of MuddYou can go to an AA tomorrow, probably.
18:30🔗Puddle of MuddI go to AA meetings with my father.
18:32🔗DrewAll right, but you need to get yourself a sponsor and get some peers that can support you and keep you abstinent. This is of life-threatening importance to your child. There's not no effing around time right now.
19:03🔗Puddle of MuddNo. I drank with him until I was, like, three months pregnant. And then, um...
19:09🔗DrewYou listen, just because you die... First of all, he may start to have problems. I'm sorry to say, Kaylee, as he develops...
19:15🔗AdamWell, but, Drew, are you ever going to be able to tell whether it was because of fetal alcohol syndrome or because Kaylee was his mom?
19:22🔗DrewIt's hard to tell, but sometimes you can tell those things. Number one. Number two, if for the grace of God it doesn't happen, it doesn't mean you can dodge the bullet a second time. Right. So let's take care of this immediately. Immediately, Kaylee. Come on.
19:34🔗AdamWell, hey, Kaylee, what are you doing pregnant again? Is it the same guy or a different guy?
20:44🔗Puddle of MuddBut that's why I'm getting help.
20:46🔗DrewI understand. But the situation is so out of control that you're still abusing, even though you want to get better and you're going to get help. This is a very serious situation.
20:57🔗DrewAnd I'm not sure. You're going to make your own mind up. And I understand that. And I hope you recover. And I hope that you can recover and manage two children by yourself. But I don't know how.
21:10🔗DrewYou're the parent. You're the only parent. And believe me, as you know, having one kid, doesn't matter how much help you have.
21:15🔗Puddle of MuddYou're still a parent. The father of my child that I have now, I live with his parents and his mother is she runs the daycare and she helps me a lot.
21:29🔗AdamWhat is second? What's the second boyfriend? Is he your boyfriend?
22:36🔗AdamIf it was up to me, I'd just take him away from you. You're endangering this kid. It's complete and utter chaos, your life. I'm sorry what your evil stepdad did you. If your dad was in front of me, I would kick him in the nuts as hard as I could swing my god damn foot. I'm sorry for what they did to you, but that doesn't give you the right to repopulate the earth with more screwed up kids. You're being selfish. Focus on the one kid, get yourself cleaned up and give this kid up to adoption, to a nice family can take care of him.
23:10🔗DrewAll right. Good luck with the program. But you need to get with it immediately. Call someone in the program tonight, tell them you're having trouble stopping drinking and you're pregnant. Okay.
23:19🔗AdamJust think about what these kids are growing up with. They're living at the house of the parents of the first boyfriend who's not really on the scene. Second daddy's not around. Mom was drinking pretty good through the pregnancy. She wants to know about pulling out her nipple rings in order to breastfeed.
23:45🔗AdamI don't. Here's all I'm saying. And Drew's heard it enough, but I'll speak to Wes and Greg. I don't know that our society clearly gets the correlation between Kaylee's kids and the trouble society has. Do you know what I'm saying?
24:01🔗DrewKaylee's kids in the overpopulating jails.
24:05🔗Puddle of MuddWell, whatever. That kid's adopted. That kid could turn out to be the president of the United States, but it's got a hell of a chance of probably being with Kaylee.
24:16🔗DrewAll right. In the meantime, we're going to a break.
24:18🔗AdamOkay. We'll take a break. Puddle of Mudd is our guest tonight. Wes and Greg are both here. Come clean the name of the CD and we'll be right back after this.
24:27🔗CallerHello. This is your radio. Love Line will be right back.
25:07🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Carolla. That's Dr. Drew. I'm in Nevada tonight. Puddle of Mudd is our guest. Come Clean is the CD. Wes and Greg are both here. Drew, you'd appreciate this about two minutes before the show started. There was this nine-year-old kid wandering the halls here at the radio station. And I said, hey, kid, you know how to make coffee? And he said, I think I do. And I said, great, go in that kitchen and knock yourself out. He comes in here a minute ago. He hands me this cup. It's half full. It's sort of warm, suspiciously warm, but not like it went through a coffee thing. It's just warmer than room temperature. And it is just like somebody drained transmission fluid into a cup. It is black. It is just black is the night. It is thick as oil. And I have no idea what this kid just did.
26:00🔗DrewYou got to give him an E for effort, boy. I got one kid would make you great coffee. The other two will make you sludge.
26:05🔗AdamAll right. Well, oh, you mean your kids?
26:32🔗AdamWell, what if I enrolled them in some sort of coffee making program instead of all this crappy swimming and math and all this other nonsense?
26:39🔗DrewYou see how fluid is to define when life begins?
26:41🔗AdamRight, right. That's what I'm saying. Instead of taking my kid and putting him in like a tumbling class, some nonsense he's never going to use, or if he does, it's to get at his own junk when he's in high school, I'm going to teach him, I'm going to enroll him like some culinary coffee school. That's a good plan. I got to write that down.
27:59🔗AdamWe know she was victimized because if she hadn't been victimized by her dad, she would have like screamed and clawed and torn this guy up and made a bunch of noise.
28:10🔗DrewWhen she has had that ability, she has been sort of indoctrinated into being a powerless person by parents who were supposed to empower. They took that all away from her. And now when somebody else takes advantage, she's a willing victim. Not a willing victim, Stephanie. We're talking about you behind your back in front of you here. But this is just the way these things get set up. It's a disaster. Can you can you report this guy?
28:33🔗Puddle of MuddI don't know. I'm scared to. Like, I don't know what I'm going to get out of this.
29:43🔗DrewBut Lauren, we were supposed to get a Torrance policeman in here to talk about how to do the reporting of rape and how the procedure goes. And at very least, Stephanie, it may not do much for you to report this, except maybe to get you a little bit out of that victim role. And secondly, it'll at least create a record for him, which I suspect is already quite lengthy. And at least it might increase the likelihood that the next time this guy perpetrates a crime, something really will happen to him.
30:39🔗AdamStephanie, you've got to get yourself some help. I mean, not so much for this recent event, but more for what your dad did to you. Can you talk to a counselor or something?
30:54🔗Puddle of MuddMaybe she like visualizes her dad as she was getting like abused by the other guy.
30:59🔗DrewNo, no, no, no, it's just that the wiring gets screwed up as a result of parents doing this to their kids. I mean, this is sort of a typical Loveline call, I'm afraid to say.
32:51🔗I have a question about the guys I'm attracted to. I've been victimized in the past and so I realized that the guys I'm normally attracted to that are a little bit not nice guys typically.
33:42🔗DrewYeah, much better. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. But listen, Katie, that is, to me, I know it's sort of a superficial brush with your story, but I think that's a little less victimization and a little more alcoholism. Okay. You're an alcoholic, right?
33:59🔗I don't actually drink very much. Like, I will drink maybe on average two drinks a week. And I work at a place where I have full, like if I want to drink, I can go up and get a drink. Oh, really?
34:13🔗AdamYou steal me a bottle of Meyers or something for later?
34:15🔗It's harder to steal the hard alcohol, sorry.
34:17🔗AdamOh, okay, that's cool. Well, give me like a keg.
34:25🔗DrewThere we go. Here we go. Because here's the deal. She did fight him off. She created a drama, which is sort of an alcoholic thing to do. And this all happened in a blackout. It all happened as a consequence of her alcohol use. This is about her addiction. This is not about being a victim. See the difference? If she were a victim, she would have frozen, and it would have happened three more times after that.
34:44🔗CallerWell, the thing is, is that after that, I have a very hard time, like...
35:05🔗CallerNot really. I... There's one guy that I've been... that I guess I have sex with when I get really horny for the last year. But it's not a relationship thing.
35:19🔗CallerUm, I don't... I don't really know what to do with myself in a relationship. Once a guy... he... Well, he doesn't want a relationship either. I know you guys are going to say, oh, he... this is a cop out, he's like getting the deal, but...
35:32🔗DrewNo, no, no. This is kind of a complicated situation, Katie. this is... this is an addictive process underway, number one. That's sort of the through line here. And then number two, there is this inability to form attachments. It's an ability to have relationships and using just arousal as a way of sort of getting your... your human contact.
35:52🔗DrewAnd that's... that's again more sort of using the same part of your brain you use when you're smoking pot or doing a lot of alcohol. That's sort of trying to be gratified in that moment to try to escape things. And that's not a relationship. That's not reality. That's not a good... that's a way of treading water, but you're going to get very unhappy and your disease is going to progress going down this path.
36:11🔗CallerAnd I... I don't know, now I've met somebody that is really nice, but when I meet really nice guys, I eventually get sick of them really really quick.
36:19🔗DrewWell, you sabotage it, it's too uncomfortable, it's too real, it's too vulnerable.
36:26🔗DrewNo, this is... Katie, really, if you want to get better, if you're interested, go to MA or AA and get started 12 step process and make some close relationships in the program and see if that doesn't start attracting you to and attracting to you healthier people. We want to hear a song, but is this... Is it okay to play a song now Anderson? Okay, Adam. Yeah, this first song is called Control, Puddle of Mudd.
40:33🔗AdamPuddle of Mudd, everybody off of their CD. Come clean. I'm Adam. That's Drew. Wes and Greg are both here from the band. I'm guessing we're going to take a little break.
41:05🔗DrewShe's been on hold the longest. Let's take her.
41:07🔗AdamLet's do migrating testicle first and then we'll go pee standing up, and then burning semen. Yeah. Wasn't that an Elvis song?
41:14🔗DrewThis all sounds like movie titles to me.
41:17🔗AdamOkay. We'll be right back after this. All right. Hey everybody, it's Adam, that's Drew. Puddle of Mudd is our guest tonight. Wes and Greg are both here from the band. Hello, hello. Hello. Is the name of the CD, and let's see if we can burn a few more calls here. What do you say?
42:03🔗DrewYeah, we're starting with the migraine testicle, remember?
42:11🔗Puddle of MuddHey, what's up? Adam, you'll probably understand this, but I was a wrestler big jock in high school and had a little injury when I was wrestling. A guy put it in the legs when he was riding me, and it really hit my testicles really hard and felt a lot of pain.
42:48🔗Puddle of MuddWell, this is Greg. I'm the drummer. I wrestled for about 10 years in high school and stuff. What happened exactly? How did this happen?
42:57🔗Puddle of MuddSo I got hit really hard in the in the nose.
43:02🔗Puddle of MuddOh. And it went up inside that little part of the where the testicle can like escape to.
43:09🔗Puddle of MuddBut it went way up. So I just stopped the match and I pressed it back down and I went on with the match. But it just kept coming up thereafter.
43:16🔗DrewAnd then would it go up there only like after you masturbated or ejaculated that kind of thing?
43:22🔗Puddle of MuddI didn't really notice it when I was younger. But the only thing that I noticed when I was like in high school is one testicle was lower than the other. So I had to endure the nickname one hung low.
43:37🔗DrewAgain, if you could answer my question, would it go back into that slot up by your abdomen when you masturbated or when you ejaculated?
43:45🔗Puddle of MuddWell, that's only started to happen now.
44:22🔗DrewNo. Listen, you may have damaged the testicle. That testicle, the one that's smaller may be dead, may not work anymore, may be sort of atrophied, we call it. The migrating business is no big deal at all.
44:48🔗CallerOh, thank you. I wanted to, well, I can pee standing up. It's a feat I have mastered. Well, like, I've been, I've known how to do this for about, like, three months now. I'm pretty good at it.
45:48🔗CallerAnd I wanted to know if if there's like anybody else that knows how to do this, because like they.
45:55🔗DrewWell, as with most things, humans have figured out just about everything. But Debbie, this may be something that no one, no one has quite mastered part of.
46:02🔗Puddle of MuddShe's probably the first female that can write her name in the snow.
46:37🔗DrewYeah, but she could, you know, here in Los Angeles, we don't have like dividers. She could go to the man's room and stand at the trough with the guys.
46:42🔗Puddle of MuddNo one would care in Van Nuys, I don't think.
46:45🔗DrewAll right, Adam, we gotta go to break. Jesus Christ.
46:47🔗AdamOh, man. You know what, I crapped on myself this morning when I was in bed.
46:53🔗DrewWhat are you crapping? Whoa! Wait a minute. No, wait a minute. Okay, we gotta go to break. And you're gonna tell me. No, yeah, yeah.
48:30🔗AdamWell, it was this morning, I had to make an early flight out here to Vegas. I was going to get up about 730, but instead I got up about 645, when I thought I had blown an innocent fart. And as it turns out, some liquid form of the fart had come out of me.
49:07🔗AdamYeah. You know that quick, you know that damage assessment? You have to do that damage assessment when you're a little bit out of it and it's dark in the room and you're not sure just how bad the damage is. And then you realize you're stepping in something and you realize, okay, this is bad.
49:22🔗Puddle of MuddAnd then after it's all over, you're like, man, what am I going to do with my pants? Like, you soak them in the bathtub.
49:28🔗DrewDo I go back to bed after this or take a shower?
50:01🔗AdamDrew, there's stuff floating all over the place.
50:03🔗DrewWe don't know what it is. You must smell like you stepped in dog poop.
50:08🔗AdamI cleaned myself up as best I could and then I realized that I had about another 35 minutes I could get in. So I flipped my comforter completely over, which looked like a Rorschach test on one side, slid over to the good part of the bed.
50:23🔗DrewYour poor girlfriend wasn't there, was she?
50:25🔗AdamWell, no, she's run, but she's going to get suspicious when I tell her we have to change sides now, but I'll make up something about being closer to the alarm clock.
50:34🔗DrewHave you had any further movements since this morning?
50:37🔗AdamNo, you know, but you know what? And I'll tell you, here's the real dangerous part. And it's like any great athlete who gets injured out on the playing field. I'm scared now. I'm scared to fart. My confidence has been riled.
50:51🔗DrewWow, and for you, that's your primary means of enjoyment during the day.
50:54🔗AdamEntertainment. You see what I mean? You see what I'm saying?
51:16🔗CallerNot much. Not too long ago, I started having dreams about this guy at work that I work with. I'm a mechanic, so things like this usually don't happen out there on the floor. They're not talked about much. But I started having these dreams, like these sexual dreams about him.
52:58🔗DrewIf he intended to make contact with you, he would have made contact with you. So this suggests that he's not really, I mean, you've done what you need to do. You sort of stated your case. You've given the necessary sort of equipment for him to contact you, and that's it. It's not happening.
54:01🔗Puddle of MuddYou need to be more on top of things.
54:04🔗AdamI'm just tired of her and her snot-faced attitude. Oh, who cares? So we call, so he doesn't call, she'll be fine.
54:15🔗DrewHello? No. We'll cut this one off. All right. This is Jason, 15.
54:21🔗Hi. How's it going? What's up, Jason? Hello. I was wondering about marijuana because I'm a Luciferian and the whole religion is pretty spiritual. Yeah. They have you do a whole bunch of mind exercises where you can get more into it. Well.
54:44🔗It's like Satanism, not devil-worshipping, though. It's about self-belief and Adam, this is something for you. More spiritual.
54:54🔗AdamYeah. Maybe I could pray to Lucifer and not to pramp myself anymore.
55:00🔗DrewWait a minute. Pot seems to be a very necessary ingredient in this whole thing. This is what Jason's laughing.
55:05🔗Well, the whole thing is that like these mind exercises for me are really hard. Like they have you hold things in your mind as still as you can for like five minutes, like a cube or something. And it's hard for me to do it for like five whole minutes.
55:19🔗Puddle of MuddSo you need weed for that round.
55:21🔗Well, yeah. See, I smoked like about two bowls and I sat down to do it and I could do it actually really good.
55:30🔗Like if I do just a little bit, I'll laugh like nonstop. But if I do a lot, I just get in like deep thought. And I was wondering what the whole process was of like marijuana. Like why it makes you think the way you think and like what the outcomes are if you keep doing it like more and more and more.
55:45🔗Puddle of MuddWell, I smoked before and I know I stared at a cube, but I called it a television. You can do that. You can stare at that for hours and hours, it's a lot longer than five minutes.
55:55🔗DrewIf you look at electron micrographs of brain cells after they've been exposed to marijuana for a period of months, they actually develop a layer over them. The cells become sort of encased and no one knows what that chemical is, but it decreases the functioning of the cells in your brain.
56:33🔗Puddle of MuddThey're like cousins. They're like cousins.
56:35🔗AdamI don't know. See, I think Satan needs a publicist then because he's oftentimes confused.
56:42🔗CallerThat's Satanism, and that's just more of non-spiritual. It's very humanist base. It's just, you know, I believe in me, and if you don't believe in me, then…
56:50🔗Puddle of MuddOkay, and you're off the f-word.
57:25🔗AdamHow bummed out are that guy's parents, by the way, the guy who went to join the Al-Qaeda network?
57:30🔗DrewGuess what? His parents are pathetic. The dad's thing, when he started dressing in robes and Afghan outfits in wherever he was in Northern California, and chanting, the father thought, oh, hey, good, you're expressing yourself. You idiot.
57:46🔗Puddle of MuddHe said, I saw that, he goes, he got caught up in something.
57:49🔗Puddle of MuddI mean, you get caught up in cocaine.
57:58🔗Puddle of MuddThat kid is like piercing your ears.
58:00🔗DrewThat kid needed treatment just the way this kid needs treatment badly. This is someone who's profoundly disturbed and searching for answers and not-
58:09🔗AdamThat's part of the problem. I like the fact that that guy's parents, John, whatever his name was. First off, I love the fact that he has the world's most American mundane name. His name is like John Smith or Miller or something, or Williams. And the thing that's funny, those parents are worried about him now.
58:32🔗AdamThis kid was just living on the desert, eating scorpions and shooting, you know, hanging out with a bunch of bearded rapists who were praying to Allah for the last few years, and they didn't seem to be worried about him at the time. And now that he's in American hands, they're very concerned. How long was he over there? How long was he doing that? I mean, since he was 18 or something?
58:55🔗Puddle of MuddI think he'd been sleeping for a long time, because when I saw him on CNN, he looked like he just woke up.
59:18🔗A couple months ago, like two or three days after my boyfriend and I had sex, his balls started hurting, and he said it felt like I kicked him in the nuts or something.
59:41🔗DrewThat's an inflammation. It's often associated with infection, inflammation of the prostate. It is an infection and inflammation of the little cap that sits on top of the test tube. It's a very simple thing to diagnose and a pretty easy thing to treat. Usually.
59:54🔗Puddle of MuddIt gives you like an inflammatory...
59:55🔗DrewIt gives you an antibiotic and or an anti-inflammatory. You have to take it for a few weeks. And Chlamydia can cause it. Other bacteria can cause it. It could potentially be an STD. And it's a common thing. And it's sometimes going to become sort of chronic and become a real pain in the neck. It can be difficult to eradicate in some cases. But it's very, very common.
1:00:14🔗Does it have anything to do with like the type of sex we're having? If it's like anal sex or anything like that?
1:00:22🔗Puddle of MuddIt might depend on the position, you know?
1:00:25🔗DrewNo, you do real barrel or doggy. Your urethra is getting exposed to more bacteria, right, in the backside? Okay, so that could definitely have something to do with it. She'll be wearing a condom.
1:00:54🔗AdamAnd so, the only time I really saw it in anybody I knew, and then it went away, and I'm just wondering, is this something that happens to guys in their early 20s, or does it happen more? You don't see guys in their 40s with this, do you?
1:01:07🔗DrewThe guys in their 40s aren't having multiple partners. And that's where your risk for this.
1:01:20🔗DrewWell, the fact is, it's not a classic STD, and that it's not necessarily gonorrhea or chlamydia, though it can be. It can be any other bacteria, but when you're being exposed to multiple environments, there are lots of different bacteria that you can be exposed to.
1:01:34🔗AdamYeah, he's been in all her environments.
1:01:43🔗Hi, guys. I have a question. My girlfriend and I just had sex tonight, and she's on her period right now, and we were just wondering what the possibilities were of her being pregnant, the, I guess, physical possibilities.
1:01:58🔗DrewIt's possible. How can anybody give you a number at any point during your period?
1:02:05🔗DrewYeah, but Mike, let's say you had intercourse at day 16. What's the number, what's the probability that I'm going to have a, nobody can give that number.
1:02:29🔗She has some, she feels nauseated every once in a while after we have sex, like a pocket of air, she says, in her stomach. That will last for like a day or two sometimes. Is that natural or?
1:02:40🔗DrewNo, that can be cysts and can be other kinds of inflammation like endometriosis. Mike, you're 29, you're talking like an 8-year-old about the human body. Does she see a doctor regularly?
1:02:55🔗DrewYeah, she's got something going on there that's causing some sort of visceral discomfort and it may be no big deal, but it's something that should be looked into.
1:03:02🔗AdamYeah, but listen, don't beat on poor Mike after all.
1:03:05🔗DrewBut he was like, well, we have my, put my peepee in and then she feels like tummy pain for, it's like, yeah, you're 29.
1:03:12🔗AdamNo, he didn't say peepee, he said ho-ho.
1:03:33🔗CallerHe is so beautiful. Okay, my question is this. My boyfriend is diabetic and... I know. He has a very low sex drive, very low, and I have a very high sex drive, so it tends to make a few complications in our relationship. And is there anything you can take that's natural or anything that could help him with that?
1:03:53🔗DrewWhy would it matter to you whether it's natural or not? Don't you just want something effective?
1:03:57🔗CallerWell, because he's diabetic, I don't want him to take something that might... so much stuff that he...
1:04:02🔗DrewI understand that, but for instance, a medication that Viagra was specifically designed for situations like this.
1:04:08🔗CallerThat's why... It's not that he can't get it up, he just doesn't desire it.
1:04:27🔗CallerIt's good. Sometimes, you know, sometimes it's real high. He's been working on it. They're giving... They're changing his insulin amount right now, so...
1:04:34🔗DrewWhat do you mean it's good if it's real high? It's not good.
1:04:36🔗CallerWell, no. Well, sometimes it's high, but...
1:04:39🔗CallerWhat they're doing right now is they're changing the insulin amount to see if they can monitor it a little bit more and keep it down more.
1:04:53🔗DrewOkay, that's unacceptable. Totally unacceptable. And that's what's going on here. He's having the damage to the nerves to the penis and that part of his body from the elevated blood sugar.
1:05:03🔗AdamWell, hold on a second now, Drusky. What should it be? What number should it be?
1:05:08🔗Drew80 to 120. And then when he eats, it goes up in the 200s, no doubt, too.
1:05:52🔗DrewAll right. You know, he's done a lot of damage to himself by not having meticulous control over his blood sugar. Is he on what's called an Ace inhibitor to protect his kidneys? Is his blood pressure being monitored carefully?
1:06:03🔗CallerHe's been doing his blood pressure every four times a day now.
1:06:08🔗CallerSo you see, it's not his blood pressure, his blood sugar.
1:06:10🔗DrewWell, his blood pressure is important to maintain also. And there are things that he can take to protect his kidneys.
1:06:15🔗CallerHe does take a pill, but I'm not sure what it's for. I think it has something to do with his kidneys.
1:06:19🔗DrewAll right. Well, in this day and age, there's just, it's inexcusable for him not to have very, very tight control over his blood sugar. And he could avoid all the problems if he really gets it back under control.
1:06:29🔗CallerControl of the blood sugar would help him.
1:06:31🔗DrewWell, might. It might. It will certainly prevent progression of the damage.
1:06:40🔗AdamWhen you're diabetic, what can't you do? I mean, can you just chug a glass of orange juice? Is that OK?
1:06:46🔗DrewNo, no, no, no, no, no. Everything has to be in certain balance. Your fat and protein and carbohydrate intake, it has to be adjusted for the amount of insulin you're taking and the amount of exercise you're getting. You have to really superstructure. And what happens most adolescents just don't do that. And that's when they really get out of control and have ketoacidosis and end up in the hospital and they damage them. It's nerve damage, it's a vasculopathy. The blood sugar elevation causes certain byproducts to develop and damage tiny tiny blood vessels that restrict the blood supply to the nerves. All the nerves get damaged. It's a mess.
1:12:21🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Puddle of Mudd is our guest tonight, and the phone number for the show is... What's the phone number, Drew?
1:12:34🔗Drew1-800-LOBE-191. Let's go with a little more easy type call here. Melissa, 14.
1:12:43🔗Yeah, I wanted to know if you guys have any ideas. I'm going out with a guy who is 14 too, but he's never kissed a girl. He's never had the chance to, right? We've been going out for almost a month, and I don't know how to approach him about kissing him because I want to because he's really sweet. I've liked him for four years almost, and same with him. We've kept it a secret from each other without even knowing it. Isn't that weird?
1:13:08🔗Puddle of MuddJust grab him by the back of the head, squeeze his hair and just lay one on him.
1:14:32🔗Puddle of MuddWe'll get the tongue. Just say, open your mouth, baby.
1:14:35🔗Because I went out with guys who are more experienced than me, and all I've done is make out and stuff. So I haven't done anything else. And now I'm going out with a guy that hasn't done that. I feel like...
1:14:46🔗Puddle of MuddYou're a little bit more advanced than him.
1:14:56🔗AdamI mean, it'll just take its course. You just kiss him and the next time you kiss him, you don't pull your head away. You just kind of keep it there.
1:15:27🔗Puddle of MuddIf you start off a date with a fringe kiss, like next time you go to the movies or you see him and you just start off with your tongue on your throat, you know, he won't stop till the end of the date, probably.
1:16:27🔗Puddle of MuddWell, there you go, man. So you're good, man.
1:16:30🔗AdamWell, maybe you can get custody of him.
1:16:32🔗CallerWell, that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to better myself, get a better job, and try to save up some money and that kind of stuff.
1:16:39🔗Puddle of MuddThat is hilarious. It's like he, this, this, his son wants to hang out with his dad all the time. But the father has no custody of the son. That is amazing. That is shocking to me, man. I cannot believe that.
1:17:41🔗AdamWell, you know what's just got to be a back breaker is when you know there's some a-hole stepdad floating around. Right. And the reality is is the stepdad is spending five times as much time with your kid than you are because you're getting them every other weekend.
1:17:58🔗Puddle of MuddAnd he probably doesn't, he didn't care, probably. Well, not saying that, but nine times out of ten usually in that situation, sometimes it happens.
1:18:06🔗AdamYeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, I've had, I have a couple of step parents and you know, let me tell you, even, even good step parents aren't great. I mean, even ones that aren't bad, it's like, hey, you're not their kid. Oftentimes they have other kids and it's kind of, kids a pain in the ass. I mean, if it's not your blood, it's kind of tough on them.
1:18:27🔗DrewWhat do you mean you didn't have a bad step mom?
1:18:30🔗AdamShe was, she wasn't, she wasn't bad by Loveline's standards.
1:18:34🔗DrewShe cast you to the garage, had you showering in the hose bib out back and crapping into a popcorn tin.
1:18:40🔗AdamWell, actually, I made the decision to crap into the popcorn tin. Yeah, well, I was 18 by then.
1:18:47🔗DrewOh, okay, oh, that sucks, as long as you retain it, okay. Okay, this is another Chris, he's 29, 27, Chris.
1:18:53🔗CallerHey, how's it going, fellas? We're good.
1:20:20🔗DrewWould she understand this? You know what I'm saying? Would she have a way of understanding what you're saying?
1:20:27🔗CallerI don't think she really does. I mean, she's come from this family that, you know, her father, he was a great guy. You know, he died recently. And her mother, she's the best. And she comes from this family that, you know, you only see on like, you know, like movies and stuff.
1:20:45🔗DrewWell, she married you, Chris. You know what I mean? Probably when you were in your disease. Right?
1:20:50🔗CallerNo, no, actually I was sober about a year and a half when she met me.
1:20:55🔗AdamHow many brothers and sisters does she have?
1:22:30🔗AdamAll right, hold on. Put him on hold. We need to talk about him behind his back for a second.
1:22:34🔗DrewAdam, this is the women that maintain their virginity at any cost, but do other stuff?
1:22:40🔗AdamWell, okay, first off, let's not ruin poor Chris' evening by explaining how many hundreds of times she had anal sex. In order to save her virginity.
1:22:51🔗Puddle of MuddThis goes back to that swallowing story at the beginning of the hour.
1:22:54🔗AdamBut no, you show me a woman who up until the age of 29 was a virgin because her dad scared her into believing that she would be outcast from the family and cursed by Jesus if she did give up her virginity. Now, I'm going to show you someone with some issues at 31.
1:23:14🔗Puddle of MuddYou know what it might actually might be? It might be like she's a, you know, whatever. I don't know.
1:23:20🔗Puddle of MuddIt's a scary old man. Whatever it is, he's got to be horrifying.
1:23:23🔗DrewShe married a guy that has abusive tendencies, but he's in recovery and he's doing well.
1:23:28🔗Puddle of MuddAnother thing though, you got to think about financial issues whenever it comes to abusive parents is whenever if they're not, I mean, where is his financial status? Is he prepared to have a kid? Is he prepared to be responsible enough to do that? Because if he's going to have problems at home, it's going to end up coming back to a kid anyway.
1:23:45🔗DrewI think the only answer for him is to talk to his wife about it. And maybe he can get some treatment, maybe he can work on this little bit as a recovery program. The wife needs to understand what she's getting into. About 60 percent of people who have been abused will themselves become abusers. And that needs to be sort of dealt with. And he may need to be on medication. There's all kinds of things that might be necessary to contain this guy's behavior. It certainly needs to be watched carefully by someone other than the wife.
1:24:09🔗AdamHe seems like he's on the right road. And if he's still nervous, why doesn't he maybe get into a little therapy and say, you know, I'm going to work on this for a year and I'll feel comfortable. I'll be 30 and we'll start having some kids. Do you think his wife believes in the Chupacabra, Drew?
1:24:26🔗DrewThat's probably why she didn't have sex.
1:25:24🔗AdamHey, everybody. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Wes and Greg are both here from Puddle of Mud. Come Clean is the name of the CD, and let's get to more calls before the night is through.
1:25:44🔗CallerGot a question from Puddle, man. Yeah. I had heard some stuff that CRETE ain't going to do no TRL or nothing like that. They're going to be sellouts. I was wondering how do you guys feel about that? Are you guys going to do the same?
1:26:03🔗Puddle of MuddNo, I mean, what do they mean they're not going to do TRL?
1:26:05🔗AdamWhy does that make you a sellout if you're not going to do it?
1:26:08🔗Puddle of MuddI thought that would make you, yeah, I thought that would be, I don't know.
1:26:11🔗CallerI'm just asking, are y'all going to keep it real? I mean, Freddie D compared you guys to Nirvana and stuff like that. So what's the haps, man? Are you guys going to be pumping out videos on TRL every month like Britney? And are you guys going to have Britney all up in your videos or?
1:26:31🔗Puddle of MuddI don't know, I mean, we got, I mean, we were on TRL with the first video, but that really, I mean, we don't have any control of that. I mean, if these kids like to call and request it, that's cool, and we did it because, you know, it's a good thing for our band, you know, it's a brand new record. We gotta promote the band, you know, it's like any other product, but I mean, I don't think we really care if we're on TRL or not. I mean, I know I don't, I know Wes doesn't, so I don't think it matters to us.
1:26:55🔗Puddle of MuddThe music will speak for itself, man.
1:26:57🔗Puddle of MuddI mean, we're playing bars for clubs and stuff. We're not doing arenas. I mean, it's...
1:27:03🔗CallerGo ahead. How do I find out where you guys are doing local stuff, man?
1:27:12🔗Puddle of MuddYeah, you can find out whatever we're doing. I mean, we're going to Europe, I believe, with Stain, and then we're gonna come back and do a headlining tour and hopefully find a cool opening band that needs some help, you know, that's not maybe getting the push it gets, you know, and just tour and travel, so it's cool.
1:27:27🔗CallerYou guys are definitely headliners and stuff, and I'm sure, I mean, you guys, how'd you guys start off? I mean, you guys got back, you guys have people, you have people that follow you guys everywhere, I mean, is Freddie D like on the way to get into the industry?
1:27:41🔗Puddle of MuddYeah, we have our palmettes, we call them these chicks with palmettes. No, well, Fred Durst really doesn't have any, I mean, he basically discovered the band, and he's a smart dude, but he doesn't have anything really to do with the band. I mean, kind of like Stain, and I know you heard it from Stain, like he gives us advice, but it's ultimately our decision over anything that we do.
1:28:06🔗DrewAdam. Yes. Yeah, Lovel is one of these guys that believes it's luck. You know what I'm saying?
1:28:11🔗AdamWell, I couldn't quite get a good read on Lovel because he was saying that, I don't know, Stain did TRL or Creed didn't do TRL, so are you going to sell out like Creed and not do TRL? I'm not sure what that meant.
1:28:28🔗DrewHe was saying that the innuendo here was, you're a sellout, you're going on MTV too much, and that somebody got you into the position you're in, right?
1:28:40🔗Puddle of MuddI tell you what, I think the smartest thing for our band to do would be to tell Radio to not play our songs in MTV to play our songs, and I think travel and play karaoke bars.
1:28:50🔗DrewAdam has some feelings about guys like Lovel, right?
1:28:53🔗AdamWell, listen, I don't want to get into Lovel, but I just want to say that people think that folks, whether they're entertainers or singers in a band, have more control than they actually do. If you put out a product and it gets popular and somebody starts playing it, it's not like you went over there, gave Carson Daly a BJ, and forced him to play, slipped your CD in his ass crack while you're giving him a BJ. Somebody gave it to him, they liked it, the people heard it, the people liked it, the people requested it, and that's how it works. It's pretty simple. Ultimately, too, we're in this to make money. I think everybody is. It's a product. It's obviously a product you believe in, or you wouldn't be playing with so much passion and cranking out CDs and you want people to hear it. There's nothing wrong with that. It's a good product.
1:29:45🔗Puddle of MuddWell, the thing is, at this time in my life, I don't want to go back to painting houses. You know, I'm not in it for the money, but still I'd like to be able to, you know.
1:29:55🔗Puddle of MuddI want to golf. I want to golf. That's what it all boils down to.
1:29:58🔗AdamWhat is the shame in people getting hip to your product if it's a product that's a good product?
1:30:05🔗Puddle of MuddWell, kids get offensive because they think that they've, you know, not in all cases, but they found the band and I was the same way when I was a kid with Metallica. And whenever they broke, it was just kind of like, oh man, they're sellouts. And I felt the same way when I was 16, 15 years old. Now, granted, I don't know how that go, I was, I know.
1:30:58🔗To talk about it, or to engage in the act of homosexuality.
1:31:02🔗DrewDid you ask, did you remind him of that?
1:31:04🔗Yeah, I tell him all the time, you know, every time he brings it up, not to put me in a position like that, because I'm required also by the same code, not to inform the authorities, if I'm aware of a situation occurring like that.
1:31:21🔗AdamHow is it that you have a roommate in the military?
1:31:24🔗That's just how it works when you're on training status in the military. The first couple of months, depending on what you're learning to do in the military, you have a roommate.
1:31:34🔗AdamAre you close to this guy? Is he a friend of yours?
1:31:37🔗We don't really hang out. We just kind of live in the same space. And he's studying something else, something different than I am.
1:31:46🔗DrewHas he ceased talking about this? Has he stopped talking about it?
1:31:52🔗No, he brings it up every once in a while, and I'll tell him, I'll say, hey, man, I don't want to hear that. You know how I feel. And I feel like I'm against the regulation, and I think that it's a stupid regulation, but at the same time, I'm mandated by the UCMJ to tell if it comes around.
1:32:13🔗AdamWell, look, next time he does it, just say, listen, corporal cream puff, bring this up again, and I'm going to say something about it, so do not bring it up again, because you're compelled to say something. I don't agree with it either necessarily, but I also don't agree with him bringing it up repeatedly when he knows he's putting you in a vulnerable situation. I don't understand why he would jeopardize his career that way.
1:32:39🔗DrewRight, or put you in such an awkward position.
1:32:43🔗AdamAre you freaked out about him, you know, coming into your room at night or something?
1:32:48🔗No, that's not a problem at all. The problem is that if it does, if it were ever to get out that he were homosexual to someone else like, you know, the unit commander or one of our platoon sergeants or whatever, and obviously they would come to me and ask me what I knew and that would put me, you know, exactly like you said.
1:33:08🔗DrewSo he's putting you in a bad situation. I think Adam is right. You just put him on notice that it's got to stop or you really can't, you're a blind.
1:34:57🔗Puddle of MuddKeep on talking there, chisel-nits.
1:34:59🔗AdamDon't forget us on the way up. All right. Come Clean is the name of the CD. Go out and get it if you haven't already. Until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying, Mahalo.
1:35:11🔗DrewWell, we have my put my peepee in and then she feels like tummy pain.
1:35:16🔗CallerThis 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 Dingle. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
