Voiceover
Hey, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew. That's John on the lead chair over there. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191, Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. Our old friend System Of A Down are here. John and Shavo both here from the band. We just, uh, Shavo promised if he got drunk at dinner, he'd start speaking Armenian during the course of the show.
1:47🔗
Adam
He's not disappointed. Not at all. We all went out for some lovely Armenian food before we came here tonight.
1:55🔗
Adam
Yeah. We talked to the guys about going out for some of their native food, Armenian food, and we'd been discussing it for a while, and we decided to finally do it this time. So we all met up about around 8 o'clock, ate a ton of food. Somebody paid for it. I don't know if John did. I'll tell you, it had to be expensive. It was delightful.
2:20🔗
Adam
Yeah, I think a lot of Americans are a little freaked out by the Middle Eastern fare in general. It's not bad. It's all the stuff you know just put in a little different shape.
2:32🔗
Drew
But you gotta know that the place we went was a Middle Eastern place. It was an Armenian authentic place. So it was more like Eastern European. So it wasn't like the casual Middle Eastern stuff you would have.
2:49🔗
Adam
Yeah, they like the yogurt over there. They like a lot of parsley and lemon and lots of good beef. Although my Kafka didn't come until the very end of the meal when I was stuffed, but I had to shove a few in me anyway. But very, very delightful, had some Ouzo, which is a sort of a licorice wine liqueur thing that was kind of nice and a little champagne.
3:20🔗
Drew
Very, very enjoyable. Do you know that Champagne wouldn't be called Champagne unless it came from the province of Champagne?
3:25🔗
Adam
Yeah. Yeah, dude. Other than that, it's like sparkling wine. But we don't keep track of that stuff. We're going to hear something off of System Of A Down's Toxicity CD and probably a couple of things off of that.
3:52🔗
Oh, wait a minute.
3:53🔗
Adam
Let me get fired up here. Well, it really kicks in, you know, when it kicks. That's when I kick. Drew jumps in, too, on this one, too. Every night we do this. This may be one of my new karaoke songs, by the way. Oh, yeah.
4:17🔗
What is that? Shigar, mugger, mugger, mugger. Shigar, mugger, shigar, mugger.
4:25🔗
You want to. Shigar, mugger, mugger, shigar, mugger, mugger, shigar.
4:38🔗
Adam
I know, but that's the part where I sing, because that's the break, and then we come out of the commercial, and we got to get on with the show at that point. But we do do a lesson.
4:49🔗
Shigar, mugger, mugger, shigar, mugger, mugger, shigar, shigar, mugger, mugger.
5:01🔗
Adam
I should have laid down like a backing vocal somewhere. Anyway, well System Of A Down is going to be going to Australia and going to Europe. So if you're listening to the show, there's probably not a great chance you can find them stateside for just a little bit. Although John was telling me they had a small tour.
5:31🔗
Adam
Are you guys going to be like the House of Blues or something? Where are you going to be?
5:36🔗
Where is House of Blues?
5:43🔗
Adam
That's what happens. We get older and you smoke. All right. Let's go to the phones and speak to Lucas who's 14. Lucas.
6:00🔗
Caller
Before I go down, I wanted to know if I could access someone down question because I didn't tell the phone screen to that.
6:10🔗
Caller
Oh, yeah. Since I'm on down, I want to know why in your Chop Suey song you say, when angel deserves to die, and then you say father later on in the song.
6:21🔗
Drew
It's father, why have you forsaken me? And it's lyrics coming from Sarajit, what was in his mind at the time. I don't know what was in his head, but it has its own interpretation for you and for him, I guess.
6:33🔗
System Of A Down
So, I remember last time, last time these guys were on, somebody asked what the meaning of certain lyrics, I think it was this show, and Javo answered the same way, which was, it was in Sarajit's mind when he wrote it down.
6:46🔗
Drew
And then he wrote it down, and then that's how he does most of the songs. You know, I can't really explain his lyrics because it's really hard. And Darren writes really good lyrics too at times, like the ones where you, on the album, that you can actually understand, where there's like, you know, those things. No, actually the ones that have like actual, like you know what he's saying, you don't have to really go at a certain point. It's mostly Darren, yeah.
7:07🔗
System Of A Down
He has more of a straightforward style, that's what it is. Whereas Sarajit uses more metaphors and innuendo.
7:17🔗
Caller
Yeah, I wanted to ask Dr. Drew if like if there's something wrong with me because when I see my parents make out like I'll start to get a wood and like I just want to know if like it's just me or...
7:27🔗
System Of A Down
What are your parents, I mean how how into it are they getting in front of you?
7:36🔗
Caller
Yeah, they're just like right there in front of me like when they before they go to work to say bye and then like when they get kissed and then...
7:44🔗
System Of A Down
But here's the deal, look, here's the deal. You're you're sort of conscious brain may not like this but your more primitive brain doesn't know it's your parents. You know what I'm saying?
7:54🔗
System Of A Down
There are parts of your body that can respond to these things just because they're sexual and there are other parts of your brain that think, oh my God, what is this?
8:23🔗
System Of A Down
Yeah, that's when he had to get out and get into that. Stepping out at that point.
8:27🔗
Adam
As it turns out, John and myself lived just blocks apart growing up pretty much. I mean, we were between the same busy streets, off of the same busy street, right?
8:37🔗
System Of A Down
But by the time John was living on those streets, you were living in a one bedroom with five guys.
8:49🔗
Adam
So I'm seven, eight years older than you. So yeah, I may have been out of there by then. But and by the time John got in the neighborhood, that's 17.5 pounds was probably worth.
9:04🔗
Hey.
9:11🔗
Caller
Hey, I had a couple of questions for you guys. First one is on the song Chop Suey. Was it originally titled Suicide?
9:20🔗
System Of A Down
That was its working title. What we did is during the recording process, we had about 33 songs that we were contemplating recording, which we ended up recording actually. And you know, we couldn't name it song number one, song number two. And then all the way up to song 33, we had to give it some kind of title. And that happened to be, you know, a lyric that was in the song. So we're like, okay, that's what it's called for now. We had, you know, Toxicity, as you know, it used to be called Virgin 7.0. And before that, what was it? Sushi song?
9:48🔗
I don't know.
9:49🔗
System Of A Down
We had so many names for these songs we don't even remember. But to answer your question before you ask it, no, we didn't change the name for any specific reason. We just wanted to change it to fit what we liked.
10:17🔗
Adam
For me and Drew, none of you screw balls. Yeah, Shavo directed it. Shavo was editing it tonight before he came and met us for dinner. He brought a copy with us. It's like a rough cut basically, right?
10:29🔗
Drew
It doesn't have any effects, but it's actually like the edits that I chose finally. Okay.
10:35🔗
Breaking it down.
10:41🔗
I had a question. I am on antidepressants. First I was on Zoloft and now I'm taking Selexa. A lot of my friends do ecstasy. I know drugs are bad and all that, but if I do ecstasy, do I have a greater risk of it having a worse effect on me because I'm also on antidepressants, which are already increasing my serotonin?
11:07🔗
System Of A Down
It's an interesting question. Probably not, particularly probably not with Selexa. There is a theoretic possibility of developing something called a serotonin excess syndrome, which can be fatal and it's the result of flooding your brain with serotonin. I've never seen that actually happen. The main issue is though that you are depressed, you need antidepressants and ecstasy can make that worse.
11:29🔗
Adam
Right. What about the depression of not being able to do drugs? People don't talk about that, how depressing that can be for a young teen.
11:38🔗
Adam
All your buddies partying, getting laid, thinking they can fly. There you are, sitting around drinking a yoo-hoo. That's depression.
11:49🔗
Well, I mean, my depression has never really gotten in the way of.
12:02🔗
Because some people can. Lately, since I've been on the antidepressant, I haven't. I mean, I don't really do drugs, but I do drink, and I haven't drink in since I've been on the antidepressant. Because I felt that the alcohol really did have an effect on the depression. I haven't done it, but just in general, I mean, just sort of as a general question, I wanted to know about the ecstasy, just because it is something that's around. Not like I have plans to do it, but just...
12:32🔗
Because it's, I mean, it's possibility. I mean, it's all around me.
12:36🔗
Drew
No, there's a lot of good, no, there's a good chance of you doing it. If you do it, be careful. Don't mix the drugs. Don't take them together, because, you know, one's a downer and one's an upper. You know that, right? And that might screw up your heart.
12:51🔗
Oh, my God.
13:27🔗
I want to be free.
13:36🔗
Drew
All right, so don't do both at once. I mean, that's not good. I don't think I got a downer.
13:40🔗
System Of A Down
Well, there's actually some people, some people actually believe that taking a serotonin reuptake inhibitor before you take ecstasy may decrease the damage from ecstasy.
13:50🔗
System Of A Down
Because they want to preserve their brain. But there is a theory of risk. And there's also the fact that it could make depression that this woman already has worse.
13:59🔗
Drew
Well, just know that ecstasy brings on depression in the future, not in the present. That's right. It's not something that happens right now. You'll be happy. You'll love it. And then in a few years, you'll understand what it's done to you.
14:20🔗
Caller
I was going to ask the system of a down a question about the LA Riot you have in your free show.
14:24🔗
Yeah, what were your guys' comments on this?
14:26🔗
System Of A Down
It sucked. They stole our equipment, they broke everything, it was pointless and stupid.
14:32🔗
They took Serge's rug.
14:43🔗
System Of A Down
Basically, we're going to have this free show to show our appreciation to our fans.
14:50🔗
System Of A Down
In Los Angeles, Hollywood to be exact. Right, Hollywood. And we thought it would be a really cool idea to do it. We haven't done an outdoor show like that in a long time in LA, and here it was. There wasn't enough security, I guess, and too many people showed up. They were expecting like 4,000. I don't know why, but they were expecting like 4,000 people, and 10,000 showed up. So the fire marshal shut it down for safety reasons, and at that point, you know, all hell broke loose, basically. It was a pretty sad occasion.
15:29🔗
Drew
Yeah, my brother and all his friends in the crowd. So I had security go and get them out. Because they wanted us to leave. And I was like, I won't leave the area until my family and my friends are out of there. So I had security go into the audience, bring them out. And then I took up, you know, I got in the van.
15:53🔗
Adam
You should find him. He's the guy in the members-only. He's got the mustache. With the OP shorts. He's in his 50s. He's wearing loafers with a tassel on it.
16:00🔗
System Of A Down
Well, the police actually threatened to arrest us if we went out there. We were going to go and just tell the crowd that we weren't going to be able to play and try to end it peacefully and have the crowd dissipate.
16:13🔗
Drew
Well, the people that were on the news, actually, that I saw that night didn't even know how to say our name. They're like, well, we're such big fans of System Of The Down that when they're not here, we get mad, System Of The Down.
16:28🔗
System Of A Down
Some of the reporters had interesting ways of saying our name, though. What the hell was it?
16:38🔗
Adam
Didn't... but I know this was... it didn't work out the way you wanted it to work out. But as the months and years wear on, isn't it a little bit of a feather in the camp of any band to have a free show and have too many people show up?
16:53🔗
Adam
Right. They estimate 3,000 or 4,000 people, 10,000 people show up. It's a good story for down the road. You know? It's like, hey, we wish we could do another one.
17:04🔗
System Of A Down
But it could have been a lot worse. Somebody could have gotten killed. Then it wouldn't have been a story I would like to tell anyone. You know, we were very lucky that no one got seriously injured. Right. And people should realize, you know, I mean, some kids got arrested. You know, we don't know how that's going to affect their lives in the future. Control yourself a little bit. You don't have to destroy things just because things don't go your way.
17:23🔗
Drew
One thing I do think of is how would the show have gone? Because there were so many insane people that I think if we played, it would have been like the most amazing show.
17:37🔗
System Of A Down
I got really lucky. One of the, I don't know how it happened, but some kid got a hold of my snare. It was a very special snare because I used it to record this album. And I have like a sad story. The whole drums, all our equipment got stolen from the first album. So we had no mementos, you know, the first album. And now my whole drum set got stolen from the second album. So I had nothing basically. I'm renting the kit for the next album, by the way. I'm not taking three times a charm. We're going to rent this time. But I got the snare back actually last Friday.
18:13🔗
Adam
Now what, how do you, well first off, you really should, I do this with my tools. You take those engraving things and you just buzz your driver's license number in it in case it shows up at a pawn shop somewhere. But how much is a decent drum kit?
18:30🔗
Adam
Jesus Christ. And was your equipment out there and none of the other guys' equipment out there or did everything get screwed?
18:36🔗
System Of A Down
No, I don't know why the drums got stolen. Probably because the hardest thing to put away is the drums. They could put away, I mean other stuff got destroyed, like the amps and stuff got messed up, but the basses and the guitars, they had them put away.
18:50🔗
Adam
Is there any insurance for that kind of thing? I mean, do you guys get compensated by your label or anything?
18:55🔗
Drew
We do have insurance. Not by our label, though. We do have insurance, but insurance pays only a part of it. And a lot of it doesn't really matter because it's not monetary. It's mostly like it's your own equipment. You're a musician, you're an artist, your bass, your guitar, your drum means something to you. It's not just that $2,000 toy that you bought.
19:14🔗
System Of A Down
I mean I wanted to give that to my kids one day and be like, when I recorded this album, this is what I used to record.
19:20🔗
Drew
It's a piece of history. We get free stuff, but some of the stuff that got jacked was not just the free stuff. It was like important stuff.
19:30🔗
Adam
No, I mean, it's like what a baseball is worth after it's hit over a fence, as opposed to what it cost at Big Five.
19:49🔗
Drew
Because I saw on the news, I went back to my room afterwards, my hotel room, and I was watching the news and it was showing the live coverage. And it showed this girl with a hammer. It was our hammer that was in his drum tech's case, right, in Sako's case.
20:04🔗
Drew
She had the hammer in her hand and she was just whacking my rig. And it was like, I could see the gray case, because that's what I use, the gray ones. And she was whacking at the whole time. What a crazy look on her face.
20:21🔗
System Of A Down
It was kind of funny though, because she could barely lift the hammer to strike down. But she was doing it. It would be like, I don't know, me hitting you with this water bottle, empty water bottle on the head. That's what it looked like.
20:33🔗
Adam
I'll tell you, I think it's that, I don't know, Drew, if you've ever done this, but I've been caught in a van with a whole bunch of people around it going nuts. And there's this weird mob mentality that takes over. And alone, there's not a criminal in the group. Together, they're all felons. And it's a weird frenzy thing that when you get caught up in it, and it's a real scary situation.
21:00🔗
System Of A Down
That's why when Adam was caught in that kind of situation, hundreds of people were surrounding the van, he told the driver to step on it.
21:07🔗
Adam
Well, look, one of the guys, the guy started punching a window. I said, roll the window down. I said, I'll hit this guy with a hook if this guy comes around. And I just said, look, if you're stupid enough to stand in front of a van and bounce up and down and start yanking on the windshield wipers, I said, look, this is Darwin at its best. Start going, baby.
21:26🔗
Adam
I don't feel sorry for anyone who gets run over. I mean, I don't want to kill any college kids. But listen, I told him, start moving. And the deal is, is they'll move. Don't you worry.
21:36🔗
System Of A Down
When the crap with the fan, they they marshaled us into this van. And I'm telling you, I felt like the president or something, because this guy was not stopping for anything. Yeah, I'm talking about other cars.
21:49🔗
System Of A Down
You know, he was out. There could be a wall of flame in front of us. And we were going through it. You know, nothing was stopping us.
21:59🔗
Drew
Yeah, you know how that was? I was like, if that was me, I was just driven on their asses. You know, he's got a big old 18 wheeler, right? Why'd he stop and look out the window?
22:08🔗
Drew
That's exactly how I felt. That's how it was. That's how the whole scene was over there.
22:19🔗
Yeah.
22:32🔗
Adam
John and Shaav are both here from System Of A Down. We'll take a little break. We'll be right back.
23:05🔗
Adam
Hi, this is Jon Favreau, and you're listening to Love Line with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew.
23:31🔗
Adam
Yeah. Shavo and John are both here from System Of A Down. Toxicity is the name of the CD. I think we'll what we'll do is we'll take a call. I could back this band up.
23:57🔗
Adam
You know what I would play in the band is I would play, I would balance you guys with that hollowed out fish.
24:15🔗
System Of A Down
I really do wish we had a microphone on you the whole dinner that we had tonight.
24:28🔗
Adam
Big into the sauce they bring. I like anything where they light it up. I've always had a hankering for Armenian sausage. They pour the sternouk in the bottom of the pot and the guy lights it up and it's flaming there. And then I don't know Armenian etiquettes. I didn't want to blow it out or take it off before the flame had gone out.
24:52🔗
Adam
Well, very solid. We had ourselves a lovely Armenian dinner with System Of A Down tonight. And now we're back in the studio. We just made it on time and well, here's something.
25:04🔗
Adam
Here's something off the CD. Yeah, Drew couldn't eat a couple of the things because we'll give him the gas.
25:24🔗
Adam
We'll speak to Chelsea. And let me just kiss System Of A Down as I ask for a second. Boy, every call we've gotten up here has been for System Of Down. Place was... and it really takes... I mean, Drew, how often is there anyone waiting out in the parking lot to talk to a band on this show? It's fairly rare. And even when a guy like Ozzy comes in here, there's 15 people standing out there.
26:09🔗
I've been taking, like, birth control, and I missed it for three days. And then, like, me and my boyfriend had sex during that three days, and, like, I missed my period, so could I be pregnant?
26:24🔗
And also, I just have to say, oh, my God, like, Shalva, you're like, oh, my God, you're the love of my life.
26:29🔗
I swear to God.
26:31🔗
That's all I have to say.
26:34🔗
Yeah.
26:37🔗
Drew
You shouldn't be having kids at seventeen. You shouldn't be getting pregnant at seventeen.
26:43🔗
I don't know. I mean, I don't know, I just.
27:03🔗
Adam
All right. So, Chelsea, go on to play in parenthood or something. Get a pregnancy test, all right? OK.
27:09🔗
Thank you.
27:11🔗
Adam
See what I'm saying? What do you have for her? No, I still think she missed her period and did her thing. Here's the point. There's a lot of young people prioritize. I mean, a kid is something we can all have. But speaking to Shavo is a once-in-a-lifetime situation.
27:33🔗
Adam
Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. I remember. We, Shavo showed up late for dinner, but there was a sort of nervous anticipation waiting for him to show up.
27:50🔗
Adam
The band started playing a song when he came through the door. It was that Elvis song, right?
28:03🔗
Adam
Yeah, and then Shavo was outraged. And wait, what was your buddy's name who made a trip to the kitchen?
28:11🔗
Adam
I'll tell you that you see that's a risky move because that's a power move. When you do that, you're talking to the waiter and they go, no, sorry, we don't do that.
28:19🔗
Adam
And you go, it's a ballsy move, but it's a risky move where you go, let me go in the kitchen.
28:25🔗
Adam
And then you go in the kitchen and you come back dragging your tail. And then he told me to ask myself. He said if my daughter came in and wanted a chicken sandwich, I'd tell her to F herself.
28:42🔗
Adam
Right. We wanted, the guys wanted the famous chicken sandwich, but the management didn't want to see people eating sandwiches in their classy joint. So there was a little problem.
29:16🔗
Adam
He didn't eat it. He didn't eat the sausage. But I took a bite of it and we did like a French kiss thing. I think he might have got some of it.
29:55🔗
Caller
My question is actually for the band. I wanted to ask about their influences and their background for their music. What inspires them?
30:04🔗
Drew
Well, I'd like to say life in general because all of us have something to do with the band. Darren writes a lot and Serge writes words and we write a lot of other things. It's mostly life because we listen to all types of music. It's not like I can't say kiss or metal or jazz because we've listened to it all. It's life that influences us to write music.
30:30🔗
Caller
That's all good. Any chance that you guys will play a show out in the Soviet Armenia when all the action dies down?
30:38🔗
Drew
That's a possibility for the future. We really haven't thought about it yet. We don't know what's happening, but let's take care of the world.
30:51🔗
System Of A Down
In Armenia, actually, yeah. Because our singer visited Armenia recently. And he told me that obviously they don't have a lot of money over there, and they're still rebuilding after communism and all that. But there is a movement. A lot of the kids know of us, and he actually got recognized. I think for him, it was more spiritual than anything else, just going back to our homeland, basically.
31:20🔗
Adam
Thanks, Maggie. We were this close to having a nice moment there. The job had to ruin it with this cramp humor. Total turnoff.
31:32🔗
Adam
Too late now, dude. Well, let's hear something from System Of A Down off of toxicity. This one is called Needle. System Of A Down. John and Shavo are both here from the band. We're going to watch a new video from System Of A Down. I don't know, when would this thing hit TV? I mean, we just got a rough cut here that Shavo just finished editing.
36:09🔗
Adam
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That's Dr. Drew. John and Shavo are both here from System Of A Down.
36:19🔗
Adam
It's the name of the CD. Just had a funny conversation. Drew was, John from System Of A Down was and is into comic books and was and made his living selling these things and trading these things. And I was just talking to Drew about comic books, a decent way to get your kid to start reading. And he was telling me about his kids. And and I thought it is every conversation eventually distills down to me complaining about my childhood, especially when I hear about Drew's great, his kid's great childhood. And I was saying, you know, when we were kids, you could watch cartoons Saturday morning, but then that was it. You were screwed for the rest of the week. And at night you had to sit around and watch Mod with your mom at age seven and a half, which didn't make a whole lot of sense. And it wasn't funny. But I was saying to Drew, yeah, we'd watch Saturday morning cartoons. And then at night you'd be watching Upstairs Downstairs on Masterpiece Theatre, narrated by Alistair Cook. And John walked in and he said, Upstairs Downstairs, man, that's great. I got that on tape. And I was thinking, he's got some PBS Masterpiece Theatre on tape. Doesn't sound like John. And he goes, Seca's in that. She's blowing this dude.
37:37🔗
System Of A Down
I thought we were going to avoid it this time, but I guess it always comes back.
37:47🔗
Caller
Oh my god! He does it with me. Oh, yes, he does. I know that you thought that you knew him.
38:45🔗
Adam
Well, what happened with this movie, this is where the love affair with System Of A Down began, is I had, I did not have a VCR, but my buddy, the Wheeze had one. And this is not when I was 15, but I was 18 or 19, but it was still exciting, the idea that somebody had nudity on, you know, in the form of a cassette and I could rewind it and watch it over and over again. It was amazing to me. And I used to go up to his house and he had Taboo II. So, it's like your first girlfriend. You know what I mean? It's like the songs you used to listen to in junior high and why you'll always like them.
39:30🔗
Adam
Yeah, hadn't seen it for 15 or 20 years and somehow found out that John had Taboo II and not only had it, but had an extra copy for me. And I cut out of the show about a half hour early.
39:45🔗
Adam
We were playing poker. I got on the phone. I got on the phone and I think I finished up the last couple of calls on the 405 freeway and got Taboo II from John. And there's quite a great soundtrack on that. It's not only he's got it all, but there's the good bass line one.
40:29🔗
Adam
You guys really should really should cover cover. What is the one other one from my Taboo II that I can't remember?
40:42🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's it's it's it's going to come to me. And then when I start up, you guys are going to jump right in. Believe me. Colin.
40:49🔗
Yeah.
41:20🔗
System Of A Down
We're not doing it justice. You need like Elton John over here with a piano and stuff.
41:28🔗
Caller
Yeah. Listen, I just want to say, first of all, Adam and Drew, you rock. I listen to your show every night.
41:55🔗
System Of A Down
You're awesome. Thank you, but you don't have to do that. I mean, as long as you enjoy it. No, we don't need to make the record company any richer.
42:03🔗
Caller
I feel bad I lied to your screener because that's all I had to say. I made up some bull story just to talk to System Of A Down.
42:25🔗
Caller
Okay. I just wanted to first say System Of A Down. You guys are really, really talented. One of my favorite bands. I'm sure everybody says that, but it's true. Thank you. I bought stickers. I have CDs. I have everything here.
42:50🔗
Caller
Yay. Okay. My question is, I have an older sister. She's 21 and she has a boyfriend that's really, really abusive. I mean, he's like, he's been with him for like six years and he hasn't hit on me recently, but he hit on me like a couple of years ago.
43:09🔗
Caller
Yeah, and he hits her because I've seen bruises and stuff. My dad says, oh, she deserves it or something.
43:16🔗
Caller
Yeah, he said it because I guess she can make everyone in the family really mad. She gets kind of angry and stuff. But anyways, I've always told her, I told her he says mean things behind her back to me and hits on me. He cheats on other girls and she knows all this, but she just won't break up with him. My whole family is like, we hate her relationship with him.
43:58🔗
System Of A Down
I think the more you try to get her out of the relationship, the less likely she is to get out of the relationship.
44:06🔗
System Of A Down
If anything, it's going to ruin your relationship with your sister. Yep. I think what you should do personally, what I would recommend is you just try to give her as much support as possible. And advise her without giving her advice to break up, to break up. You know what I mean?
44:20🔗
Drew
Sort of make her understand what's happening to her and that it's wrong and let her make the decision of leaving him.
44:27🔗
System Of A Down
And the only thing you know so far is that drugs and alcohol are involved in this in a substantial way.
44:31🔗
System Of A Down
And you can't change him, but you can certainly help her in dealing with that issue and maybe get her to an Al-Anon meeting and get a sponsor and work some steps. And maybe the two of them can actually work this thing out. Maybe the guy is treatable. But if she starts changing and growing, he'll freak out and it will motivate him to make some changes too.
44:51🔗
Adam
Don't, I mean, you may piss her off, but you need to make sure she's using birth control. Because you need to say, look, whether you're going to be with this guy forever or not, I don't know. He doesn't seem like a great father. And you don't seem like you're in a position right now where you'd make a great mother. And why have that permanent bond between the two of you? You know, in case you change your mind down the road. And it's hard to change your mind when you have a kid. So I just encourage her to, you know, ask her if she's on the pill or what she's doing. And just encourage her at least not to get pregnant. And then you can buy yourself some time. And possibly have a drifter kill this guy.
45:32🔗
System Of A Down
Speaking of birth control, I've started getting a few calls for emergency contraceptive from pharmacies around. And I still think, why can't we find a way to create a network where on this show we could just say, hey, go to XYZ Pharmacy, use my name or some network of physician's name.
45:52🔗
Adam
I don't understand the part where it's going to be, you can get it without a prescription, but yet they need a doctor's name or referral. Yeah. How does that work?
46:21🔗
System Of A Down
Some of them have national networks of physicians, and so they just look me up and get my numbers and that's that.
46:26🔗
System Of A Down
Is it possible that you can have some kind of side effect or bad allergic reaction and just want someone responsible?
46:33🔗
System Of A Down
Well, yeah, it's not so much a side effect because of the many, many, many millions of emergency contraceptive prescriptions, there's not been one significant side effect other than vomiting, not one serious effect. What I think they want is to make sure that somebody is responsible for following up and making sure they're not using this as a birth control routinely. They're just using it as an emergency backup method.
47:06🔗
System Of A Down
Yes, some people are doing it. I get calls, I had several calls from my office to a pharmacist saying, hey, can we use your name? Yes, that's the answer. That's all my staff. Yes.
47:12🔗
Adam
All right, so if you're a young person who's listening, wants to get this, you can go to a pharmacy and drop Drew's name and they'll go, wait a minute, is that that dude who sold out to Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus? I know that cat.
47:41🔗
Looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person. One call is all you need to make. Call the Dateline.
48:31🔗
Adam
I'm Adam. That's Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. System Of A Down is in the studio tonight. John and Shavo are both here from the band. Toxicity is the name of the CD. The new video should be hitting MTV on the 15th, was it?
49:07🔗
System Of A Down
Well, usually when we're in Europe, we always get CNN. That's like a guarantee.
49:15🔗
System Of A Down
I just remember we're going to have to go to Europe again and deal with the TV there. It's really bad.
49:21🔗
It sucks.
49:29🔗
Right. You had it.
49:30🔗
System Of A Down
Hey Adam, you were giving me some grief about selling out to daytime television.
49:33🔗
Right.
49:44🔗
Oh, yeah.
49:50🔗
All right.
49:55🔗
I wouldn't mind doing some voiceover.
50:02🔗
Adam
I'll tell you. Now, I just have to tell the story very quickly. It was this crappy UPN show, and it was just a junkie show where they hide cameras and play jokes on people. They wanted me just to do the voiceover, and they're going to pay me a lot of money, and I could do it from the studio, and all I had to do was show up to the studio like an hour early, like twice a week, and make a boatload of money, so I said, fine, and the producer of The Man Show, who is a real stickler for this stuff, he said, are you high? You can't do that. I said, why not? He said, you're going to get a reputation as a hack. People are going to know it's you, and you're going to lose your credibility. I said, no one's going to know it's me. I'm not, it doesn't say starring Adam Corolla, and I don't say my name on it. All I do is the voiceover. He says, you'll see. I said, please, you're just jealous because I'm making some money, and it's no big deal. Well, like two weeks later, there's this big ad, not a big ad, but a big half-page picture of me looking fat and ugly in like the New York Times or something, and it says, Corolla embarrasses himself in big letters. And my buddy Daniel, the guy, the producer, warned me not to do it, naturally got hold of it, made about 300 Xeroxes of it, pasted it all over the office. And because I'm always the last one into the office, I walked in to find a wallpapering of Corolla embarrassing himself, and then read the review, and it was if I'd produced the show, written the show, conceived the show. It was like, I mean, how, but Drew, how, I understand this is why you can't do crap, but certainly the people that review these shows have to have a little more savvy than to think the guy does the VO, the guy does the voice over, produces the show and writes the show and creates the show, don't they?
51:57🔗
I don't know what show this is.
52:02🔗
Caller
I wasn't even working on the show then, but I was embarrassed to be working in the same building.
52:17🔗
That wasn't me.
52:19🔗
Caller
Like I said, I didn't work on the show, but I was embarrassed to work in the same building.
52:25🔗
Hey, what's going on?
52:35🔗
Here they are.
52:36🔗
Caller
Okay. My friend, he brought a CD over to my house that was basically a bunch of illegally acquired songs. And...
52:50🔗
Drew
I knew he was going to bring it up. Did you hear me say Zelda? Okay. Clear it all up. Legend of Zelda song on Morpheus or on Kazza or on any of those download programs is not us. That is not our song. We did not do that. That's someone who is trying to sound like Sarge. And it's probably some kid in his room with one of those new computer programs right in the track and releasing it as System Of A Down. It's not us.
53:18🔗
Caller
Yeah, it did sound like a lot like you, but I wasn't quite sure. But thank you for cleaning that up.
53:36🔗
Hi.
53:48🔗
System Of A Down
Yeah. But I have parents that are very strict. I grew up in a Catholic house and they would disown me. And I don't believe in abortion. And I am lost and confused and don't know what to do.
54:12🔗
System Of A Down
Well, if you're not going to get an abortion, you're going to have to tell them, right?
54:16🔗
Adam
Well, would they freak out more over an abortion? Not that they're going to find out. But just hypothetically, would they be more against an abortion or you being pregnant?
54:45🔗
He's sixteen. Actually, I haven't told him yet.
54:48🔗
Adam
Yeah. I mean, do you think he would get freaky if you wanted an abortion or if you wanted to give the kid up for adoption?
54:56🔗
System Of A Down
I think he would rather go for abortion because I don't know that he's ready to be a dad yet.
55:00🔗
He's not.
55:08🔗
Adam
Well, if she does the adoption thing, she's obviously going to have to tell her parents. Sure. So is your... I mean, you have two options. It's get the abortion and never let your parents find out unless they're big fans of the show. But I'm guessing they're in bed rubbing their rosary right now and getting ready to saw a log. So they're not... I mean, they won't find out about it or tell them about it, see the kid all the way through, and then give the kid up for adoption. On the other hand, what if the parents, because this is their grandkid, says don't give the kid up for adoption? And then how many rights do they have?
55:45🔗
Drew
Does she want to have the kid or is she just afraid of telling her parents? That's the main thing right here.
56:04🔗
Drew
Alright, you've made the decision to get pregnant, alright? Which wasn't a decision, but it was because you did it. You had sex.
56:36🔗
Adam
Yeah. That was at the Jerry Lee Lewis era. And so how have things been with your stepmom and your dad?
56:50🔗
System Of A Down
No, she was on drugs and all that crap. She's a typical 17 year old girl but likes to party.
57:09🔗
Adam
Most people don't... a lot of people don't like their stepparents because if you had to... Here's what I'm saying. Parenting is a tough job, but it's not going to win you any fans. You know what I mean? It's pretty much, especially when you have a young girl, you're telling her, don't do this, don't do that. And you can take it from your blood because there's a bond there. But when there's no bond, then it's just some a-hole living with you, telling you what not to do.
57:37🔗
Adam
Right. And they're resentful because it's like, hey, your druggy mom flew the coop. I'm over here trying to do what I can and you hate my guts?
57:46🔗
System Of A Down
Are there any other, do you have any brothers or, do you have any siblings at all?
57:50🔗
System Of A Down
I have a stepbrother, a half-brother, and a half-brother that's on my biological mom's side.
57:58🔗
Drew
Well, that's really nothing we can really tell you to do besides, I mean, if you want to have it and you don't believe in abortion, then you got to bite the bullet and tell your dad and have the kid and seriously grow up. Or you got to have the abortion and, you know, bite the bullet in that way, in that sense, I guess.
58:17🔗
Adam
And what do you think, Christina, if you had this kid, do you think you'd be emotionally open to giving it up for adoption?
58:31🔗
Adam
Okay, well, yeah, I think what you're going to have to do is head over to a place like Planned Parenthood and sit down with somebody over there and figure out your options.
58:42🔗
System Of A Down
And if I did choose the abortion side, is there a way that they could find out?
58:57🔗
Drew
But I think adoption is like twice as bad, I think, because then you got to go through the nine months of carrying the baby, then you got to give birth to the baby, and you feel so attached to the baby, then you got to give it away.
59:11🔗
System Of A Down
But the argument is that you're bringing some... It was meant to be that she got pregnant. This is the argument that I'm making. She should take care of it.
59:18🔗
System Of A Down
But taking care of it means getting the child to parents that are prepared to be a parent. And it's very painful for the biological parent, but on behalf of the child, make that sacrifice.
59:31🔗
Drew
But if someone can't make the decision between getting an abortion because she doesn't want to tell her parents, then that doesn't stand.
59:37🔗
System Of A Down
I don't think a 16-year-old girl is capable of making that kind of decision. I think she definitely needs to go and talk to someone. If there is a family member outside of your immediate family that you can trust with this, that wouldn't be a bad idea. At least you have a relationship and you can feel comfortable talking to them. Or, if one of your really good friends has, if you trust one of their moms, go and talk to them and get their advice, if you trust them.
1:00:04🔗
Adam
And don't have any more use of birth control. And also, the morning after pill would have been something that had been more readily available, probably used here.
1:00:20🔗
Adam
Go down to Planned Parenthood and talk to them. You know how, guys, I was just thinking about these big moral dilemmas, guys would settle this with a rock, paper, scissor or something. I mean, eventually when it really just gets down to that, don't guys get out of a deck of cards or something?
1:00:46🔗
Caller
First of all, I'd just like to say System Of A Down. Awesome. Awesome band. Thank you. And Drew? Yeah. You need to realize that without Adam, nobody would listen to the show.
1:01:42🔗
Drew
Okay, wait. You just said you've had sex with a girl and a guy, but you said you haven't had sex.
1:01:46🔗
Drew
What's being with a girl and a guy? What do you mean by being? Like kissing? Holding? What?
1:01:53🔗
Drew
Kissing and holding. Going out with them. But you haven't had sex yet. How old are you?
1:02:06🔗
Adam
Would you rather, I'm going to ask, Drew, I ask this every once in a while. I know my answer. I would rather blow a guy for 30 seconds than seriously tongue make out with a guy for three or four minutes. Yeah, I think so. There's the stigma of blowing, but ultimately less intimate. I think if he promised not to come in my mouth.
1:02:35🔗
System Of A Down
You've got a whole thing about kissing, that you won't watch kissing in porn films.
1:03:29🔗
Caller
Well, I'm pretty sure they won't care. And I don't know, I'm just kind of sick of hiding it from them.
1:04:16🔗
Caller
No, I said I always thought that it was really cool that she was bisexual. It's not really payback time.
1:04:39🔗
System Of A Down
You know what? What is telling them going to accomplish? If you're not doing anything dangerous, if you're having a good time doing what you're doing, whatever it is...
1:04:56🔗
Adam
All right. Well, listen, they're half right. I mean, look, we run into this all the time, and maybe it's not totally analogous, but when you're 15 or 16 and heterosexual, you don't announce to your parents, hey, dad, sniff my finger. Do you know what I'm saying? I mean, you don't tell them what you've been doing. The last thing you want is a 15 or 16 year old is to share any of that, whether it's you masturbating or some chick you dig or some porno you got. I mean, that's just none of their business.
1:05:30🔗
Adam
Right. And if you're gay or you're bisexual, it's still none of their business. It's your sexuality.
1:05:41🔗
System Of A Down
You're not hurting yourself or anyone else. It's not really their business.
1:05:51🔗
Adam
Well, because it's like, look, people at your work don't need to know what your sexual proclivity is.
1:05:56🔗
System Of A Down
It's like if you masturbate, you don't tell everybody. You're living a lie. Tell me that.
1:06:04🔗
Adam
I went into work today and told everyone about these. I got this porn on a DVD, and my DVD player broke down, and my big screen TV went on the fritz. But I remember, I have these virtual reality DVD goggles.
1:06:45🔗
System Of A Down
Like, look, Johnny Mnemonic or something. This was a terrible film in itself.
1:06:50🔗
Adam
All right, so Trevor, we opt not to tell your folks about this because we would give that answer to a heterosexual guy who called, too. All right, let's speak to Shana, who's 15.
1:07:07🔗
Hello.
1:07:10🔗
Caller
Well, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. And my doctor told me that I have a really bad chance of being held up by babies because I had surgery. And they had me on the Depo-Provera shot, so I won't bleed because when I do, when I have my period, it hurts really bad and gives me really bad cramps. And well, my question was, what is my chance of having babies and why wouldn't I be able to?
1:07:42🔗
System Of A Down
Well, I don't know that anyone knows for sure why endometriosis affects fertility, but it does. And it typically does when you're in your 30s and late 20s. So if you are going to have babies, you have them in your 20s, usually you do okay. So it's more an issue of having fertility problems and the problems become more prominent as you get older.
1:08:04🔗
System Of A Down
Yeah, and the treatment of the endometriosis. But it's a hassle for women to try to get pregnant when they have bad endometriosis.
1:08:10🔗
Adam
Right, but all that stuff's kind of moving fast, isn't it? I mean, you know, I mean, what percentage of society couldn't have kids 50 years ago and what percentage can't now?
1:08:26🔗
System Of A Down
But then the other hand, they believe now that they're more infertile couples by a large margin.
1:08:31🔗
System Of A Down
They used to be. Why? People are more sexually active, they're waiting to get married, they're further along in life when they're trying to get pregnant.
1:08:48🔗
System Of A Down
No, no. It's that people in the last 20 years have been much more sexually active and getting tubal infections and things like that that affect fertility.
1:09:02🔗
Adam
Yeah, the heathens. I think I said heathens. All right. Anyway, should we take ourselves a little break? You want to take one more call?
1:09:09🔗
Adam
Wait a minute. What about Casey? I think she's overweight. 6'1, 210. That's a lot of women.
1:09:40🔗
System Of A Down
While I'm thinking of it, something I did not say last couple nights, I've been talking about these transdermal contraceptives.
1:10:08🔗
Adam
You know what I mean? Big leg one. You want to know how you can tell if you're fat, is you have to cut somebody off in your car and see what they yell. Because they yell, hey fat ass. Whatever they yell is what you are. If anyone wants to know what they are, like if they have the mono-brow like me or the Brillo head or the buck tooth or whatever you are, you want to get a check on your ethnicity, you're not sure how people are reading that, just cut somebody off and whatever they'll yell.
1:10:40🔗
Adam
Yeah, but see, a moron that's just sort of ambiguous. That doesn't really go anywhere. Shut up, Corolla, you hairy bastard. If you want to know if you're fit, yeah, see, if you want to know if you're fit, you got to cut somebody off, okay, I would say 210 is probably a little bit overweight, even for a tall gal like yourself. Maybe you go on a diet, lose a little that way.
1:11:00🔗
Caller
Yeah, I also have a problem with that because I also gain and lose weight very frequently. Very often, I'll lose 10 pounds and then the next day, I'll gain it back.
1:11:18🔗
Adam
How do you get a daughter that's 6'1, 2'10? I mean, that's good junior college outside linebacker size.
1:11:29🔗
Adam
Okay. Well, this may be a struggle for you there, Casey, but at 16, by the time you're 21, you could be 6'9, 355 or something.
1:11:45🔗
Adam
All I'm saying is maybe you should think about getting under 200. Just exercise and don't eat any junk. It's pretty basic. I mean, you know how to do that, right?
1:12:26🔗
Adam
All right, good. All right, well, just don't eat too much. Drink a lot of water and get some exercise. Exercise, yeah.
1:12:36🔗
Adam
Oh, bring it. Awesome. Take care of there, Casey. I'm trucking in. I bet you wonder where we've been. This is my cheer. We're a team that can't be beat. Because we're funky on our feet. There's a whole move that goes along with that.
1:12:58🔗
Caller
See my finger, see my thumb, we got the ball, you better run. S-O-C-K-I-T, socket to me, baby, my head is aching, my hips are tight, my lips are shaking from left to right. One, two, three, four, five, cast, don't take no job. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, come on back, we're gonna win, oh!

You know, someone brought up a term today that I have not heard in about two years of yours, recoculus.

Hi, this is Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park and Baywatch. And you're listening to Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.

Hey, yo, Loveline. I'm Adam and Drew. Yeah.
1:14:37🔗
Adam
Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. We got John and Shavo here from System Of A Down. Toxicities, the name of the CD. And let's get back to the phones and speak to Ryan who's 17. Ryan?
1:14:59🔗
Caller
I live in the Clearwater, Tampa area. And you guys haven't played here for a while, since I moved down here. You had a few shows and they were canceled. I was just wondering if you guys had anything that was coming around here because I'd really like to see you guys.
1:15:26🔗
System Of A Down
I think it was right next to Champagne. Anyway, we'll be out there probably in April. We're going to be doing a full North American tour as Spinal Tap, coined the phrase, and we will be out there.
1:15:39🔗
Caller
You can expect this. I'd like to say congratulations for being nominated for the Grammy.
1:15:50🔗
Caller
So thanks for the music. I'm really glad. A lot of real fresh, none of the real like the new metal.
1:16:01🔗
Caller
You're the bomb. As long as you guys are coming out with records, I'm going to be there every day.
1:16:29🔗
System Of A Down
We're not actually sure that we're going to be able to go because we're going to be on tour.
1:16:32🔗
Adam
Well, let me go over there and pick it up for you because let me explain. First off, I could sing it, but here's what I'm saying.
1:16:54🔗
We're only nominated for one though.
1:16:56🔗
Adam
I could probably grab you two. They were only nominated for one too, but I grabbed one from Garth Brooks. I got them liquored up at the after-party and stole it from him.
1:17:08🔗
Adam
All I'm saying is I've been to one Grammy's with one group, and that group walked with two.
1:17:18🔗
Adam
You guys are interested in bringing home a little hardware. We should take some hardware with us. That's all.
1:17:33🔗
Caller
My question sounds a little strange. I'm seeing this therapist and I've been seeing her weekly for about two months. She's decided she wants me to get a psychological evaluation.
1:17:47🔗
Caller
I really don't want to. She's gotten to the point where she says she won't see me anymore unless I do.
1:17:55🔗
Caller
Because I'm fairly certain with the reason she wants me to see they're going to say okay, she's in that, put her on medication. And I don't think that...
1:18:10🔗
System Of A Down
It helps determine what's going on diagnostically so you can figure out what's...
1:18:15🔗
System Of A Down
You just take a bunch of tests, you know, a bunch of questions or it seems sort of disconnected.
1:18:24🔗
System Of A Down
Right. And listen, tests are not done to determine whether or not you are nuts and whether or not you're nuts has nothing to do with whether or not you need medication. So all these things are bizarre misconceptions on your part. So if your doctor feels they need some clarification of what's going on with you and you would like help, I can't imagine why you wouldn't do it.
1:18:45🔗
Caller
I worry later in life, right now I'm only 20. Oh, I bet you know that. I'd like to get into politics or be a police officer and I'm worried that if I'm actually diagnosed with something and they put me on medication.
1:18:57🔗
System Of A Down
They're already diagnosing you. I can guarantee you there's already a diagnosis written down. And in order for her to see you, she has to give a diagnosis.
1:19:10🔗
System Of A Down
Now for her to have a formal diagnosis, a thorough diagnosis, it needs to be done with psychological testing.
1:19:25🔗
Adam
Alright, so you're going on your own accord and you have a good relationship with her?
1:19:36🔗

I feel like I'm setting myself up to fail though. The reason she wants me to see, she wants me to have a psychological exam is because I believe in, I don't know, it sounds silly, like supernatural, I believe that there are things beyond us. I have a hard time believing that once you're dead, that's it.

Adam
You know, it's like you could shoot people without thinking about because they're all going somewhere according to you after you kill them. Do you know what I'm saying?

Caller
I'm not a violent person at all. I like helping people. I spent my Christmas taking dinner and clothes to the homeless. I love helping people. I like to be in politics.
1:20:49🔗
Adam
It usually lighten people up. No. It's all about, you know, taking pictures with chrome hard hats on in front of dirt lots where they're building YMCAs. Hey, hey, Anna, I think you should listen to your therapist and do whatever she asks you to do and realize that your reticence about doing it may be part of the problem.
1:21:14🔗
Adam
It's actually a test because my shrink did this too. He said, I'd like you to be formally evaluated. I said, when do we start? He said, you just passed, son. Sit back down. Then I defecated on the coffee table.
1:21:28🔗
Adam
I recalculated on it. But listen, if you tell somebody, hey, I think you ought to have an evaluation and they fight you, that means they failed the first question on the test. Do you know what I'm saying? It's like when a cop pulls you over and asks you if you think you need to take a breathalyzer and you take a swing at it.
1:21:48🔗
Adam
Yeah, that's probably a good sign that maybe you've had a few belts that night. That's all I'm saying. Right. But listen, you could probably, you know, Anna, you could probably ace this test no prom. Just write the answers on your PG folder or something, you know?
1:22:13🔗
Adam
Listen, listen. Every black person believes in ghosts. Everyone who lives in the South believes in ghosts.
1:22:30🔗
Adam
All right. All right there, Anna. Just go, listen, Anna, stop fighting with your shrinks. She wants you to do something, you do it.
1:22:41🔗
Adam
I think it's boxing out of there. We're looking into the studio now and apparently there's some food floating around.
1:23:21🔗
Caller
Yeah, one of my friends was talking about it and I was reading on the internet and you're supposed to, I mean, you're feeding up it. It's supposed to be, I don't know, you're supposed to hallucinate.
1:23:46🔗
Adam
Hey, Alex, you can't just go out and score some drugs. You got to eat 40 pounds of nutmeg to get a buzz.
1:23:53🔗
Caller
No, my logic for it was that if my parents find a bag of weed or something, they're going to freak out. But if I can explain the way nutmeg.
1:24:06🔗
Adam
You tell them you're cooking up some eggnogs in your room. That night, you needed to grate it on there.
1:24:12🔗
Adam
All right. Hey, I don't know if you guys are hip to that, but fresh nutmeg grated over like a hot drink, like an eggnog, delightful.
1:24:23🔗
Adam
Delightful. I love it. You guys took us to an Armenian restaurant tonight. The next time we go out, we'll take you to our favorite nutmeg place.
1:24:34🔗
Adam
White people just eat nutmeg. Like, Drew, where are you from? From Germany or something.
1:24:46🔗
Adam
We all sit around and we eat nutmeg. Privet. All right. We're going to take ourselves a break. We're going to watch finally the System Of A Down.
1:25:33🔗
System Of A Down
Hey, it's Loveline, I'm back, it's Dr. Drew. Adam is viewing, oh wait, there you are. I'm here with John from The System of a Down, and Adam and Shava are viewing a world premiere.
1:26:09🔗
Caller
Yeah, I have another one. Like, before every show, you make fun of Darren for being a brain surgeon.
1:26:19🔗
System Of A Down
I don't remember ever doing that. How do you know about that anyway, even if we did do it?
1:26:29🔗
System Of A Down
Yeah, we don't do it before every show, but he probably said it one time, and I don't know.
1:26:37🔗
Adam
All right. Well, listen, I just got done watching the new System Of A Down video, and it really looked great. Yeah. Man, I mean, just look, it was so, it was really clean looking, very vibrant looking.
1:26:56🔗
Adam
What made it so, I guess, vibrant is a word that comes to mind. I mean, so clean, so sharp looking. Do you know what I'm saying?
1:27:05🔗
Drew
It's just the colors I had in my head. I see because once you film, there's a process you have to go through that I had no idea about, is the day after you film, you get all the footage you have and you have to go and color the footage. So I had to go in the studio and color 17,000 feet of film that we shot.
1:27:26🔗
Drew
35. Wow. But I colored it like, okay, I took all the blacks out of the white world. That's why it's so crisp and you see gold and white only. And then our blacks are just the clothes, you know, the clothes. Black world, I got all the whites. So it made the black more.
1:27:39🔗
Adam
Yeah, it's really, it's really, it's the contrast. Yeah. Yeah, it's really sharp looking.
1:27:49🔗
Adam
Yeah, look great. So that's going to be on, like I said, on MTV, probably about the 15th. So you should definitely look out for that. Because it just looked great. And we saw it under not great conditions.
1:28:03🔗
Drew
My girlfriend was pressing the button every two seconds for the Panasonic signs to come off.
1:28:22🔗
Adam
You cued up there, Anderson? All right. Here's another one from System Of A Down. There you go, System Of A Down. Toxicity is the name of the CD. You guys get approached to do like soundtrack stuff?
1:31:31🔗
Drew
Actually, I have a story to say. Dude, I saw that movie, Not Another Team Movie, and our song is in there, and we never gave him the right. Well, you did?
1:32:11🔗
Drew
I was tripping. I'm watching a movie. I'm going, they didn't ask us for that. That's messed up. I got to go call my management. I'm going to call everybody.
1:32:17🔗
Adam
No, it's great because you get stoned and you get to enjoy things twice. Nutmeg. Movies, everything.
1:32:39🔗
Caller
Yeah, and I just want to say, Darren, I love you and Shav, I love you too. Oh my God, you guys are like gods to me.
1:32:48🔗
System Of A Down
I think this is the record for the number of bogus questions posed in order to get through to the band.
1:32:54🔗
Adam
Yeah. Like I said, you know you've arrived when every call on there is for System Of A Down, and then the ones that aren't for System Of A Down are bogus, and they're for System Of A Down.
1:33:13🔗
Caller
Yeah, and like we do this weird thing with the eyes, and you like lean back, and you play your bass. You know what I'm saying? All right.
1:33:31🔗
Adam
Do you think he knows? He didn't know he got paid for the soundtrack for Not Another Teen Movie. You think he knows about the eye-rolling thing?
1:33:42🔗
Drew
I don't remember it. I thought Metro was on Dracula 2000. How did it go on two movies?
1:33:47🔗
Adam
Hold on. Let me talk to John for a second. After the break, I'm going to announce the Grammy nomination to Shavo. What?
1:35:20🔗
Adam
That's only for Tara. I'll see you cats at the Grammys. I want to thank Tara, Don't Call Me Tara, Goddamn, for doing a great job on the phones and Damien for doing a great job on the phones and producer and for doing a great job. And I want to thank Engineer Anderson for working a sweet, sweet magic behind the board.
1:35:42🔗
Caller
So until next time, I'm going to make love to you, woman, I'm going to lay down by the fire, caress your heavenly body.
