0:52🔗 Voiceover Loveline is meant for an adult audience.

0:54🔗 Voiceover Loveline may contain sexually oriented content.

1:00🔗 Loveline with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew.

1:04🔗 Who?

1:06🔗 Voiceover I'm back to ruin the entire operation. It's Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-1-on-1, me, Stryker, along with Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, John and Serj from System of a Down. What's up, you guys?

1:20🔗 Stryker What's going on?

1:20🔗 Adam Oh man, I'm so excited. I've had the best day ever. Capping off the night with you guys here. This is fantastic.

1:26🔗 Stryker Thanks, man.

1:26🔗 System of a Down with Stryker The night's not capped off here, Stryk.

1:28🔗 Adam Or going somewhere after this? Of course. For some food other than the cookies?

1:33🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Well, yeah, definitely food.

1:35🔗 Adam Definitely food. You're always hungry, but you're in the best shape of almost any person I know, John.

1:41🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, I have a rigorous training routine.

1:44🔗 Adam It's these cookies that you're eating, right? Man, Drew, how are you?

1:47🔗 Drew Good, how are you? Now, Stryker and I have been sort of working on our boundaries together, so last night he kept reaching across and touching me.

1:55🔗 Adam But not out of like this. I was so excited.

1:58🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, yeah.

1:59🔗 Drew I'd rather leave it.

2:00🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Is that why? Where do you usually have Adam?

2:03🔗 Drew Usually I sit there. I sit there.

2:04🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Oh, okay.

2:05🔗 Adam So why am I sitting here?

2:06🔗 Drew Because I feel like sitting here. I'm in charge.

2:08🔗 Adam So you're going to pick on me like he kind of picks on you?

2:12🔗 Drew No, no, because I'm picking the calls, remember?

2:13🔗 Adam I see.

2:15🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You don't know how to use the computer.

2:16🔗 Adam No, I don't. I don't know how to use any computer.

2:18🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Okay, I don't even have email, so come on.

2:21🔗 Drew You guys have a concert coming up.

2:22🔗 Adam Hold on, Dr. Drew. I wanted to say something before you get to the concert part. This is very important, because we're going to screw around a lot, but also we're going to, I think, educate a lot of people tonight on stuff going on with your Armenian people and Armenian genocide. We're also going to take calls, play some music the whole night, but as Dr. Drew just alluded to, let's talk about the concert you're doing April 24th at The Greek, which sold out like that. Either one of you guys, take it away, what it's for, why, who, what, when, where, and then Drew and I will chime in and try to educate.

2:55🔗 Stryker It's a benefit concert to commemorate the Armenian genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman government in 1915. One and a half million people were massacred, and it's something that we've always talked about with the band and the press, media. We actually did a show a couple years ago called Souls, I think it was in 2000, and raised some money for that. There's a postcard campaign going on right now in the US. Congress with getting attention to the Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader to vote on a genocide convention.

3:27🔗 Drew What prompted that genocide?

3:30🔗 Stryker What prompts most genocide?

3:32🔗 Drew No, but I mean, what was the political situation at the time? Most people, when you say Ottoman, people go, uh-huh.

3:37🔗 Stryker The predecessors to the government of Turkey. And it was during World War I, however, the actual genocide was a racial, racial cleansing. And you know, I think a lot of genocides and holocausts are, they use race and religion as an excuse, but the underlying motive is usually economic, in my opinion.

3:56🔗 Adam Is April 24th a date chosen for a specific reason, or is that a date that happens to be open at the Greek?

4:04🔗 Stryker No, it's the day of commemoration of the Armenian genocide worldwide. And it's the 89th, you know, year since the genocide. And the important thing about it is the denial aspect of it. A lot of countries in the world have fully recognized the massacres as a genocide, France and European Parliament and Italian Parliament, the Vatican, Russia. However, certain countries still lag behind, including our own Congress here. And the government of Turkey obviously is the big denier. And in that way, they're participating in the crime of their predecessors.

4:40🔗 Adam Do you feel, Serj, that there's a lot of weight on your soldiers being in the position you're in now to get your point out and teach people about this? I mean, you guys are huge, not just, of course, in LA where you're from, but all over the world now. So, I mean, you can really get your voice out to people. Do you feel responsibility or do you think you would get this out there even if you were still playing just Roxy shows or whiskey?

5:04🔗 Stryker Exactly. I really don't feel a responsibility. It's more of something that's, I think, in our hearts. And like to us, the whole Armenian Genocide issue is not even political. We are partially a political band. We do all other sorts of things as well, obviously. But to us, this issue is personal, you know. All our grandfathers have our survivors. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. And, you know.

5:26🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Actually, I wouldn't be here at all if my grandmother's first husband wasn't killed during the genocide.

5:33🔗 Drew If he wasn't killed?

5:34🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah.

5:35🔗 Drew Because she took off after that or?

5:36🔗 System of a Down with Stryker She escaped. He didn't.

5:38🔗 Drew Were there concentration camps or something?

5:40🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It was similar to concentration camps except they never really waited for it. It all happened in a matter of a few days. It was not a long term thing. We were not at war with anyone at the time. You know, it was basically farmers, villagers taking care of their families and soldiers coming in, killing them and then moving on to the next village, killing them.

6:05🔗 Stryker The intellectuals were rounded up, sorry to interrupt, but the intellectuals were rounded up first so that they won't disseminate any type of revolt or anything like that and then the men were gathered in the pretense of taking them to war or camps but they were all killed and then the women and children were sent toward the desert between what is now Turkey and Syria and they were left to die there.

6:26🔗 Adam Well, if you guys are just tuning in to Loveline, I'm Stryker with Dr. Drew, John and Serj are here from System of a Down. I've known you guys maybe four and a half, possibly five years now and when the 24th, April 24th has rolled around, I think I've spoken to John a lot on that day when you guys have had either rallies or gone to maybe different parks, I can't remember especially what you did. Are you still going to do stuff during the day on that day before you play that night? And you recall what I'm referring to John and then we'll talk about it on there.

6:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, there's things that take place actually all over the world on that day, it's like Serj said.

7:00🔗 Stryker Memorials.

7:01🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, memorials and it is a commemoration. We don't, you know, we're living in trying times. Many things are happening all over the world that are disturbing, you know, not necessarily just in the United States but everywhere in the world and it's difficult for us as Americans to put ourselves in the shoes of others but in doing so we help prevent things like the Armenian genocide and other things that are taking place right now and it's important to reflect on that and not just reflect on the fact that Armenians were killed but the people are killed unfairly every day.

7:32🔗 Adam What's bugging you outside lately, Serj, not bugging you but is anything in the world just eating at you that's gone on the last few years, the war?

7:42🔗 Stryker I got a list.

7:44🔗 Adam Is it a list now? Is that list being written down as lyrics in new system songs? Is there a, you know, maybe a couple of songs with a theme of how you're feeling?

7:53🔗 Stryker Everything in our lives as far as thematically come through the music and the lyrics between all of us, Darren, myself, Shavo and John, and so I'm sure it will reflect it.

8:07🔗 Adam I think you guys do a really good job of getting out how you feel about things but without necessarily shoving it down your audience's throat, they can take it if they want or they can say ah.

8:18🔗 Stryker No one wants to be preachy and no one wants to listen to a speech, you know what I mean? But when you put things in an emotional realm, if you open your heart and really reflect how you feel and people feel that, that's important.

8:31🔗 Adam Definitely. So 1-800-LOVE-191, let's grab some phone calls, we'll talk about it some more, talk about the show, maybe play a system song, one that we haven't heard a million times on the radio station all over the world. No.

8:43🔗 Stryker No.

8:44🔗 Adam But, you know, I always wanted to play Forrest as a single, that is, oh man, I love that song, which I would throw on every now and then, prison song as well.

8:52🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Didn't you start playing Psycho?

8:54🔗 Adam Yes, I did, and then everyone jumped on, I was the first one on there with Psycho, man. There we go. Alright, Rachel, you're 20 on Loveline with 50% of System of a Down.

9:06🔗 Caller My question was that I heard you guys talking about how people that have been abused can't get in normal relationships unless they have therapy.

9:18🔗 Drew What we say is that if you have a trauma history, a very common consequence of that is disrupted relationships or inability to maintain intimacy.

9:27🔗 Caller Yes, I was just wondering why you say that.

9:30🔗 Drew Because it's a fact. And it's one of the strange features of the human being is that everything that happens early in life has a disproportionate effect on everything else that is to follow. That's one strange feature. The other strange feature is that when something really traumatizing happens to you, you keep doing it over and over again. So you're trying to recreate it and make it right or recreate it and control it. You'll do the same thing that happened to you when you were three or five. You'll recreate that in your relationship over and over and over again.

9:58🔗 Adam What if it happens to you at 14, 15, 16?

10:01🔗 Drew It doesn't happen like that. It may traumatize you and you may have post-traumatic stress symptoms, things like that, but it won't lock you in the way that earlier stuff does typically. So there you go. All right. Yes.

10:14🔗 Adam Put it on hold, Drew. What's that going on?

10:16🔗 Drew Go ahead.

10:17🔗 Adam Jackie. You're 17, Jackie, on Loveline. What's up?

10:22🔗 Caller I just wanted to say I love System of a Down and I wanted to ask them something. I am a really big fan of everything, but there's one question I don't know. How did you guys like start out? Like were you guys playing in a like a club or something in Rick Rubin just discovered you or like how did that happen?

10:39🔗 Adam Good question, especially if you're not from LA.

10:41🔗 Caller Yeah, I'm not. I'm from New York. I'm just in Arizona right now.

10:44🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You can actually become really well informed on the band if you go on our website. www.systemofadown.com There's pretty much everything on there that you would want to know about us.

10:57🔗 Caller Alright, I think you guys rock. Until Darren, you're the best guitarist ever.

11:00🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You got it.

11:01🔗 Adam Oh man, that was cool. Well, John, let's talk about new sister music which I don't know when it's going to come out, but you guys have been writing and writing and the music and lyrics. They're working on it now. Working on it. I'm aware of that.

11:12🔗 System of a Down with Stryker We're actually working on it right now.

11:13🔗 Adam I was going to set up John so he can mention Rick Rubin is working with you guys once again. Is that right?

11:18🔗 Stryker Yes.

11:19🔗 Adam And are you guys actually in the studio with them yet?

11:23🔗 Stryker We're actually still in the writing phase and we're at a rehearsal studio, so we haven't started recording anything. And yeah, we are slowly starting to work on pre-production.

11:32🔗 Adam And does he ever pop his head in and say, hey, can I just hear what you guys are working on?

11:36🔗 Stryker Yeah, absolutely.

11:36🔗 Adam And is that nerve-racking or you guys know him so long, it's like whatever he says, we'll take it.

11:42🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Actually, when Rick comes in, it's really cool when he comes in. We enjoy it. He's such a cool guy. You know, we really don't look at it like, oh, he's our producer, you know, and we have to act a certain way or anything. It's just it's more comfortable when he's there.

11:55🔗 Stryker He's a positive type, yeah.

11:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, very. And he's always got a big smile on his face.

11:58🔗 Drew It's like if Stryker were your producer.

12:00🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Exactly. Except we would get nothing done in front of him.

12:05🔗 Adam You would get a lot of cookies, but they were delivered to me. And I pawned them off to you guys.

12:10🔗 System of a Down with Stryker There you go.

12:10🔗 Adam All right. Coley, you're 26. Oh, Shannon, you're 15.

12:15🔗 Caller OK, your phone screen is kind of making fun of me on this, but I'm 15. And is it possible for girls to have hernia?

12:24🔗 Ah, yes.

12:26🔗 Drew Yes, it is.

12:27🔗 Caller It is.

12:28🔗 Adam What is a hernia?

12:29🔗 Drew It's a hernia.

12:31🔗 Adam Bastard.

12:31🔗 Drew A hernia is a hole in the wall of your abdomen where bowel basically extrudes through.

12:37🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Wow, that's not as pretty as I thought it was.

12:39🔗 Adam Can't you get it from picking up heavy things?

12:41🔗 Drew Yeah, I mean, that stuff extrudes the bowel down.

12:45🔗 Adam And what has to happen to fix a hernia?

12:47🔗 Drew Well, it depends where it is, but the typical one is an inguinal hernia. They can do it now with a laparoscope. They open a space up in here and put a little sheet down in there and close it off.

12:55🔗 Adam Why do you think you have a hernia, Shannon?

12:57🔗 Caller I don't know. I just I thought it was like a couple of days ago. I had eaten some of my friend's macaroni, so I thought I had like had gotten sick. I couldn't even sit up straight. And then it's still like that. I can't sit up straight.

13:09🔗 Adam It says in Drew's book, you can get a hernia from lifting weights or eating macaroni.

13:14🔗 Drew What are you talking about? You cannot sit up straight. You have vomiting after you ate something.

13:17🔗 Caller No, I didn't. I wasn't puking. But I like at first I thought I was going to. But it didn't really feel nausea.

13:23🔗 Drew And then what? Abdominal pain?

13:24🔗 Caller Yeah, like major bad.

13:27🔗 Drew OK, there's about 10,000 things that can cause abdominal pain and nausea.

13:31🔗 Adam It's not a hernia?

13:32🔗 Drew Way down the list would be hernia.

13:37🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Unless it was a heavy plate of food.

13:40🔗 Drew What's that?

13:40🔗 Adam You never know.

13:41🔗 Caller It's like a cramp, like terrible, terrible cramp. And when I feel it, it kind of feels like it's swollen than on the other side. It's like the muscle is bigger than on that side.

13:50🔗 Drew On that side, appendicitis down in your in your abdomen.

13:54🔗 Caller Yeah, it's like this could be.

13:55🔗 Drew You need to see a doctor immediately. This could be a hundred things. OK, some of them could be surgical. So it's not something you can just wait on.

14:03🔗 Adam Bye Shannon. Let's go to Lauren.

14:05🔗 Drew Lauren.

14:06🔗 Adam Yeah, you're 18. Lauren, what's going on? You're on System of a Down on Loveline.

14:11🔗 Drew Sleeping. There she is.

14:14🔗 Adam What's up, Lauren?

14:16🔗 Um, I recently just moved to Ohio and my boyfriend moved to Vegas and we used to have sex like all the time and like I'm probably one of the hornyest people I know and now it's like really hard for me.

14:31🔗 Adam You don't know John Dolmayan that well.

14:35🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I was just about to give you my bass player's number. Really?

14:40🔗 Adam Me? What?

14:41🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Shabam, shabam.

14:43🔗 Adam Strike two. Sorry, go ahead, Lauren. You're horny and you're 18 and your boyfriend lives in Vegas.

14:49🔗 Caller Yeah.

14:50🔗 Adam And?

14:50🔗 Drew What's your question?

14:52🔗 Caller Um, like, I try to control it but I just like, I can't I guess, I don't know but I was wondering if there's anything that, um, I could take to make me not so horny or something.

15:06🔗 Drew Birth control. Well Lauren, it sounds a little naive here. What is going on? Are you a sexual abuse survivor?

15:13🔗 Caller No, no.

15:14🔗 Drew Are you, were you physically abused growing up?

15:16🔗 Caller No.

15:17🔗 Drew Are you bipolar, genetic depression, anything like that? No. So, why don't you just, are you having sex with guys you don't want to have sex with?

15:25🔗 Adam Well, they're fulfilling a need she's after, I'm sure, right?

15:32🔗 Drew If she's, if she's doing behaviors that she doesn't want, really genuinely doesn't want to and can't contain them, that's a problem. But if, on the other hand, she just, you know, is having consequences and just doesn't want to manage them, but she really wants to do these things, that's a different question.

15:48🔗 Caller It's like I do, but once I do them, I, like, I regret it a lot.

15:52🔗 Drew How many times that happened?

15:57🔗 Adam More than five?

15:59🔗 Caller Probably around there.

16:01🔗 Adam And how long, how long has he been in Vegas? Why don't you break up with this guy? You're only 18. You live in Ohio. He lives in Vegas. I don't think there's any flights to get there in an hour from Ohio.

16:13🔗 Drew That's the bottom line. You need to break up with this guy.

16:15🔗 Adam And I guarantee you right now, he's a crazy horse, too, hanging out, throwing away dollars.

16:18🔗 Drew That really is what needs to happen. You need to keep yourself a little room here, break up and start dating other guys. It's fine.

16:25🔗 Caller Well, it's not just that.

16:26🔗 Caller I mean, I've been like this for a long time, so.

16:31🔗 Adam Are you worried that you're overly horny and maybe sexually compulsive, probably?

16:36🔗 Drew Well, that's what I was getting at. It's hard to be sexually compulsive without having a trauma history. And you're telling me things have been perfect. You're completely delighted with your life, yes?

16:45🔗 Caller Well, no.

16:46🔗 Drew Well, wait a minute. Magically, it's not that way. What?

16:50🔗 Caller I said no, but I mean, my life hasn't been perfect, but I haven't been abused.

16:54🔗 Drew You haven't been traumatized? No one ever hit you?

16:58🔗 Caller No, not me.

17:00🔗 Drew Who did they hit?

17:01🔗 Caller My mom.

17:03🔗 Drew And who hit your mom?

17:04🔗 Caller My dad.

17:05🔗 Drew So you had to be around violence in your home? Mm-hmm. Was there alcoholism and drug addiction in the family?

17:11🔗 Caller Yeah, both my parents are alcoholics.

17:15🔗 Drew Okay, that's traumatizing.

17:16🔗 Adam So she may have the gene that doesn't know it yet?

17:18🔗 Drew Yeah, that's another possibility. This could be part of sexual addiction. You're a trauma survivor, both from the standpoint of having alcoholic addict parents and physical violence in the home. And I bet if you really sat down and started being honest with yourself, you'd find a lot of other things were very unsettling about your childhood. And the way to manage those feelings are to have sex. And so it's really not about being horny. It's about trying to escape overwhelming, painful feelings. So, you know, are you an addict also yourself? Do you do drugs or alcohol?

17:48🔗 Caller Um, I drink quite a bit, but...

17:50🔗 Drew Okay, so you may also have the gene of alcoholism. This could be sort of as asexual. This is all could be alcoholism, the whole thing. Coming from an alcoholic family, having the gene, all this. So if you really... It's naive to think that you could have a... take a pill to fix such a complex problem.

18:05🔗 So if you want to...

18:06🔗 Caller I heard that birth control could like control that, but I'm on DeporZero.

18:11🔗 Drew Which is about as powerful a suppressant as you can take from the standpoint of suppressing your sex drive. It's naive, Lauren, to think you can put something in your mouth and make these complex problems better.

18:21🔗 Adam Unless, of course, it's...

18:23🔗 Drew It's with John. No. I thought he was going there again.

18:26🔗 Adam No, I was not going there.

18:28🔗 Drew No, Lauren, you need to... What's with you two today?

18:30🔗 I don't know.

18:31🔗 Drew You need to start... Stop it. You need to start going to 12-step meetings, Lauren. It is a complex process you need to work your way through here. This is not going to magically get better than a magic pill for stuff like this.

18:42🔗 Adam Oh man, Lauren.

18:43🔗 Drew Heavy.

18:44🔗 Adam Last night we were talking about more double D breast girls. It was ridiculous. Line two.

18:48🔗 Drew Oh, line two. Yeah?

18:50🔗 Adam That's what. What's up, man? You're 19. I want System of a Down.

18:53🔗 Caller Yeah, System of a Down? Hey. I just want to say I'm a big fan of you guys. And I love your message in general, especially Serj and all the lyrics.

19:03🔗 Stryker Thanks, brother.

19:03🔗 Caller I think we need more bands like you guys out there. And I wanted to ask you guys if you're going to be participating in the international protests against the war this Saturday?

19:15🔗 Stryker Axis of Justice is actually... We've put it up on the website. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to go myself. But we've helped disseminate some of the information. And there's a possibility I might be able to go actually.

19:28🔗 Adam Is there any time where people in the band have different views on politics? All the time.

19:34🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Absolutely.

19:35🔗 Adam Do you need to resolve that within the band?

19:37🔗 Drew You have room for different opinions.

19:39🔗 System of a Down with Stryker We always have room for different opinions because we're four different human beings. But what we try to do instead of arguing about it is kind of educate each other on our views. We do a pretty good job of it. We don't really step on each other's toes too much. I've learned a lot from these guys.

19:58🔗 Adam I think one thing I want to say also is you guys are coming across a little bit political and so smart, but you guys also have a personality not only in person when you're not performing, but on some of your songs as well. So if you guys haven't heard any System songs, check it out.

20:14🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I laugh at some of our stuff personally. If you know us as individuals, you'll laugh a lot too, which you have.

20:21🔗 Drew Yes, I have. John gets his inspiration from the Taboo series. He and Adam have linked things. Taboos.

20:30🔗 Adam Is that song? Wait, what's the song? Is the song around?

20:33🔗 Drew Anderson's not in there.

20:35🔗 Adam Can you sing it, John? Come on.

20:37🔗 System of a Down with Stryker My singer's here.

20:38🔗 Adam I'll search.

20:39🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I'll lend him the video.

20:41🔗 Drew All I remember is it's a classic film pornography from the 70s that John and Adam have communed about over the years.

20:49🔗 System of a Down with Stryker But the best part is when we first met, actually before I met them, Adam left the show early, like 20 minutes early.

20:58🔗 Drew To go to John's house.

20:59🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Because I was with some friends playing cards that night and I had to go home from there to give him the video.

21:07🔗 Drew He hadn't seen it in 25 years or something. Then he had to see it that moment.

21:10🔗 Adam So he left you early to go get it. And you left your card?

21:12🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And from what I understand, he didn't show up to work for two, three days.

21:15🔗 Drew It's not been the same since. And it's a movie, it's a classic story of a young man having sex with both his mom and his sister.

21:23🔗 Adam That's why it's called Taboo.

21:24🔗 Drew That's right.

21:26🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It's a long, you know, it's a four or five, four or the five of the first like 20 are great.

21:33🔗 Adam There's that many of them?

21:34🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, the first three are classics in my opinion.

21:35🔗 Drew Like I said, John's inspiration in life is so...

21:38🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I wouldn't say I want to go that far. Inspiration on many ways.

21:46🔗 Adam We just heard, we just got the last knowing.

21:47🔗 Drew There's a folksy song about a guy you'd want to know.

21:50🔗 System of a Down with Stryker At least it was production value back then in porn.

21:52🔗 Adam Now it's just like, who needs production in porn, my friend?

21:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You got to have a story.

21:59🔗 Adam It's kind of like the pizza delivery one.

22:01🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Who is it?

22:02🔗 Adam Pizza delivery. Do I look hot? Yes.

22:04🔗 Drew John has always been playing you need romance.

22:07🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You do? Yeah, why not? Romance is important in life. In porn? In porn.

22:12🔗 Adam In porn, right.

22:14🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Adam.

22:15🔗 Yes.

22:15🔗 Adam Adam, you're 18 on Loveline. What's up?

22:18🔗 Drew Yeah, hi.

22:19🔗 First of all, I just want to say, Dr. Drew, you're freaking awesome, man.

22:23🔗 Drew Thank you, Adam. What's going on?

22:25🔗 Adam Drew, hold on. You're very, very serious tonight.

22:28🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Is that Adam Corolla calling?

22:29🔗 Drew What's wrong?

22:30🔗 Adam Are you all right?

22:30🔗 Drew No, I'm good. I'm good. What is up with me?

22:33🔗 Stryker Yeah.

22:33🔗 Adam Hold on one sec, Adam.

22:35🔗 Stryker You sure?

22:35🔗 Drew No, I'm good, yeah.

22:36🔗 Adam You're a little testy.

22:38🔗 Drew Am I? I'm sorry. Yeah. I don't mean to be.

22:39🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You're a little testy.

22:40🔗 Drew Am I? I don't mean to be.

22:41🔗 Adam You were very relaxed last night. You were petting me. You were being mean. I was being mean back. It was fun.

22:45🔗 Drew Come on.

22:46🔗 Adam You all right?

22:46🔗 Drew I'm good.

22:47🔗 I'm good.

22:47🔗 Drew Don't touch me. There you go.

22:50🔗 Adam.

22:50🔗 Yeah.

22:51🔗 All right.

22:51🔗 Go ahead.

22:51🔗 All right.

22:52🔗 Yeah.

22:54🔗 I just got this girlfriend like three months ago and I have this uncontrollable erection all the time that like I'm around her, like kissing her or something like that, you know? And like I was wondering if there was like some kind of pill or something like I could take it. It's really embarrassing.

23:09🔗 Adam Why is it embarrassing?

23:10🔗 Drew On one hand, I'm disturbed that we have young callers asking for pills to fix their spiritual, physiological problems.

23:17🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Don't fight it. It's the one that you may miss it.

23:19🔗 Drew Your body is telling you something.

23:22🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Then you're going to want pills to fix that.

23:24🔗 Drew Your body is telling you something.

23:27🔗 It's embarrassing, you know?

23:29🔗 Adam Why is it embarrassing? Because you're kissing and all of a sudden you're poking out?

23:32🔗 Drew Wear some heavy jeans. Don't wear sweatpants.

23:35🔗 Adam You should be honored that you're getting a boner, man. Seriously.

23:39🔗 Drew How old are you?

23:40🔗 Adam He's only 18.

23:43🔗 Drew And you're not having sex with her, right? Correct. That's good times. It's fine. Good.

23:47🔗 System of a Down with Stryker How long have you been going out with her?

23:49🔗 Stryker All good.

23:49🔗 How about three months?

23:51🔗 Adam Can you have an orgasm while kissing her?

23:54🔗 No, no.

23:55🔗 Drew Good. That's good.

23:56🔗 Adam I have a friend. I have a friend. I'm not going to say his name.

23:59🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Wear a condom when you go out.

24:00🔗 Adam His first name rhymes with Havid.

24:04🔗 System of a Down with Stryker David Bevanisti?

24:05🔗 Adam No, no. Not him. He can have an orgasm at a strip club from a lap dance. And he spends $20 on one dance and he goes home and he walks. Yeah, seriously.

24:16🔗 Stryker With himself?

24:17🔗 Adam It is unbelievable.

24:18🔗 Stryker It's great.

24:18🔗 Adam I don't know if it's, I don't want to be jealous of that.

24:21🔗 System of a Down with Stryker No, because you certainly don't want to be his girlfriend, right? If he's getting, that's like a ten second love affair.

24:27🔗 Adam But here's the thing. He says he's fine at round two right away.

24:30🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Round two what? Like two in the morning?

24:32🔗 Adam No, no. Round two, two minutes later. What happened to our screens?

24:35🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Two minutes later.

24:36🔗 Adam Oh, we're taking a break?

24:37🔗 Drew It was screwing up.

24:38🔗 Adam We're going to take a break. This is Loveline. I'm Stryker for Adam, by the way. John and Serj are here from System of a Down. We're going to talk more about the show April 24th. The Souls Benefit Concert, it's sold out, and probably play a little System of a Down music as well. More Loveline after this.

24:51🔗 Hello.

24:58🔗 Loveline is brought to you by Metro PCS.

25:00🔗 Caller Permission to speak freely.

25:03🔗 Loveline.

25:04🔗 With Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.

25:22🔗 Adam All right, we are back on Loveline. I'm Stryker, and for Adam, who I think is in New York, along with Dr. Drew, John is here, and Serj from System of a Down, the April 24th show. It's a benefit show. It's sold out like that. How many different charities is the money going to you guys? It's just one charity, and how is it divvied up, and why and what is the money going to end up doing?

25:42🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Well, first of all, there's the John Dolmayan Mercedes-Benz Fund.

25:44🔗 Stryker Yeah, right, if you wish. There's about six or seven charities. There's an organization called Genocide project.org. They interview survivors of the Armenian Genocide, and an organization called Teach Tolerance. Teach Genocide, International Association of Genocide Scholars, and Facing History and Ourselves, which is a really good educational organization that deals with a lot of high schools and colleges and goes out there and teaches how to prevent genocide and the story, the history of genocide and Holocaust.

26:19🔗 Adam And then when these charities get the money, I guess my question is, how is that money going to be utilized if you even know the answer, I guess? Do you know what I mean? You're going to hand this money off to many of the organizations, and then do you know what exactly they're going to do?

26:37🔗 Stryker They already, these are all organizations that deal with educating regarding genocide and whatnot. And this organization called Armenian National Committee of America, they're a Washington, DC based organization, and they lobby for genocide recognition in Congress. We've worked with them, and we're donating part of it to them as well.

26:54🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Didn't we come, you were mentioning something when we came close to a vote. What is genocide? What is that? What happened?

27:03🔗 Stryker In 2000, there was a vote, a resolution in Congress that was pretty much getting a majority, and the congressmen that were basically sponsoring the bill knew that they were about to get it passed, and it was about to come to a vote on the floor. And President Clinton at the time called Speaker Hastert and asked him to withdraw the bill from a vote, which happened. There was a letter, there was a press release at the time, and he said that American lives would be endangered in Turkey or something like that, but it was mostly geopolitical reasons having to do with our ally status with Turkey, which is a terrible excuse for denying genocide.

27:46🔗 Adam Where in the US is, I'm curious, is there a large Armenian population? I know in the-

27:51🔗 Drew Eagle Rock.

27:52🔗 Adam No, I was going to name the places in Southern California, Glendale. But is there, are there any other states, cities in California where there's a large population of Armenians?

28:04🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Population in Boston, Chicago, you know, most major cities.

28:07🔗 Adam I'm sure, but is there one place more-

28:08🔗 Stryker Fresno, I think, has a bunch of-

28:10🔗 Adam Really?

28:11🔗 System of a Down with Stryker To be honest with you, I think there's more Armenians in the United States than in Armenia at this point.

28:16🔗 Adam Because you're here, John. They followed you. John Dolmayan. Let's live with him.

28:21🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I only came here 20 years ago.

28:23🔗 Adam Wait, what about number two? Zar. Zar, you're 21, on the System of a Down?

28:30🔗 Caller Yes. Hi, how are you guys?

28:32🔗 Stryker How are you?

28:33🔗 Caller Good. I'm actually calling because I just wanted to get a chance to thank System for what they're doing and getting their message out and getting their word out and helping the, I guess, youth population realize that there's other outlets besides violence of getting their words out and their feelings out and getting the message out to the government and to everyone that, about what's going on. And you know, like my brother, he just formed a band, you guys being kind of like role models to get his feelings and outlets out through that. And I just wanted to thank you guys and that it's greatly appreciated what you guys do.

29:14🔗 Stryker Thank you, Zara. That's really cool for you to call and say that.

29:17🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Those are very kind words.

29:18🔗 Adam What do you guys do outside of music, Serj, if you want to reveal, because I mean, I see John into into many fun things, nothing bad. But I'm watching his taboo and he eats, John, right, John, eats and playing cards and hanging out and listening to music, I assume. And he wants Mercedes.

29:37🔗 System of a Down with Stryker No, I don't really want a Mercedes. I'm just kidding.

29:39🔗 Adam And you're in a football, aren't you?

29:41🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I like the Bills, Buffalo Bills, right?

29:43🔗 Drew How many siblings do you have?

29:45🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I have one. My sister, who is mad at me right now.

29:48🔗 Drew That's right. Why? It's because you were yelling at her before we went on the air.

29:51🔗 System of a Down with Stryker No, that's the way we communicate.

29:53🔗 Adam Why were you yelling at your sister?

29:56🔗 Drew Let's talk about this.

29:56🔗 Adam Yeah, come on. How about the guy that can't close the deal?

30:02🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You know who you are.

30:03🔗 Adam Coyote la Boca, Senora Stryker. All right, let's move on. Drew wanted to go to line number one this time. All right, 19, Renee, what's up?

30:12🔗 Caller Um, okay, so I was told a couple months ago by a doctor that I have herpes and.

30:18🔗 Drew Oh, you were told, wait, wait, wait, you were told what?

30:21🔗 Caller I have herpes.

30:22🔗 Drew You were told at a pelvic exam or something?

30:24🔗 Caller What, how did it? Yes, I went to a gynecologist and they told me this.

30:27🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Oh, I thought, I thought you said that Dr. Drew told me I had herpes a couple of months ago.

30:32🔗 Drew And you were having an outbreak at the time?

30:35🔗 Caller Yes.

30:36🔗 Drew Okay, all right, and so what's the question?

30:37🔗 Adam Is that why you went to the doctor, I assume?

30:41🔗 Caller And I'm kind of curious on how you teleguide this. What's like the correct way to say it?

30:46🔗 Drew Put on a condom.

30:48🔗 Caller Okay, I know that part. Is that all you'd say?

30:51🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Is it just me or are there a whole lot of herpes ads on TV nowadays?

30:55🔗 Adam So many. It's always a girl running on the beach, too.

30:59🔗 Drew Kickboxing, biking.

31:00🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, it's always like some crazy sweaty activity.

31:03🔗 Drew Does it make you want to have herpes?

31:04🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Doesn't make me want to see it, actually. Just another, you know, they got the song, they got the whole deal.

31:10🔗 Adam It's the best produced commercial on TV. They got the music.

31:13🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It was on during the Super Bowl, wasn't it?

31:14🔗 Adam Hot girls that have herpes running on the beach in a bikini.

31:18🔗 System of a Down with Stryker But they're not even that hot, though. They're kind of like average. They just want to show that anyone can get herpes. You know, the girl next door. Anyway, back to you.

31:26🔗 Adam Drew, is it easy to avoid getting herpes because it's visible and that's when you mostly can catch it from somebody?

31:32🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It's hard to see when the lights are off.

31:34🔗 Adam I'd make love with the lights on, Dolmayan.

31:36🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, but that's because there's cameras.

31:39🔗 Drew You can transmit it even when there is no outbreak.

31:41🔗 Adam Really?

31:42🔗 Drew And you cannot see an outbreak on a woman. Because it's inside.

31:46🔗 Caller Ah.

31:48🔗 Adam I don't have it. I wear protection.

31:52🔗 Drew Good. So wearing a hat is not protection, by the way, Stryker. Right. They wear it kind of might. Well, it certainly wouldn't protect you if you're having it, if somebody's having an outbreak.

32:02🔗 System of a Down with Stryker But Stryker uses a saran wrap.

32:04🔗 Drew So what should Renee do? How should she tell a guy?

32:06🔗 Adam Serj, how should she let the guy know she's got her?

32:09🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Just be honest with him.

32:11🔗 Drew And what point does she do it?

32:14🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Right when you start seeing each other and you feel that if you're going to get sexual and you're ready for that, because he's going to be ready right away, when you're ready for it, you let him know.

32:22🔗 Drew So let's think about that. You're dating Renee now, John.

32:26🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Don't wait until I have it out of my pants and I'm ready to go.

32:29🔗 Drew It could go one of two ways, right? She could bring it up early and you could be like, you could be in touch now, like, well, I know what that means. You could be into it, right?

32:38🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Well, I don't think you're ever into, hey, have herpes. All right, then I'm guaranteed sex.

32:42🔗 Drew No, or, well, that's what I'm asking you. Or are you going to say, oh, no, no, I'm not going to.

32:46🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I think that if you really care about the person, you'll take it into consideration and you'll get educated on it. And then you'll kind of weigh the risks compared to how much you care about that person. And then you'll make a decision based on that. Otherwise, but if you don't tell him, that's completely unfair.

33:03🔗 Adam Very unfair and mean and bad.

33:04🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And he might give it to someone else without knowing it. You never know. And then he's going to be how this stuff spreads.

33:10🔗 Drew That happens all the time.

33:10🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You know, and then you're going to have a volleyball commercial deal with and all kinds of bad things.

33:15🔗 OK, thank you.

33:17🔗 Drew It didn't help her a bit. So Rick, she's disappointed because she doesn't want to tell him. Rick is 20.

33:21🔗 Adam What's up, Rick?

33:22🔗 Hey, you guys going on?

33:24🔗 Caller Hey, hey, yeah.

33:27🔗 Adam Was that big band music in the background?

33:29🔗 Drew It was either big band music or a train horn.

33:31🔗 Stryker Wow, you guys are getting good.

33:33🔗 Drew What was that in the background?

33:35🔗 I got up from a chair.

33:37🔗 Stryker Oh, it's a squeaky chair.

33:40🔗 Adam Sample that, you guys.

33:42🔗 Yeah, exactly.

33:44🔗 Adam What's going on, Rick?

33:45🔗 Yeah, anyway. All right. So I have first of all, I guess I should ask first. Do third nipples grow like are you born with them?

33:53🔗 Drew You have to be born with them.

33:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Why, are you hoping to grow one?

33:57🔗 No, no, no, no. All right, so then I have this thing on the left side of my chest, right? And it's just developing and it feels different when I press it, other than when I press another part of my skin or something. So I'm kind of wondering what the positive is.

34:13🔗 Adam Well, is there a nipple attached to this thing?

34:15🔗 No, no, no, okay.

34:16🔗 Drew It's so bizarre how people go to these bizarre notions that you have a growth. Where's the growth?

34:22🔗 It's to the left.

34:23🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It's on my ass. That's a nipple.

34:25🔗 It's like three inches under my left nipple, that's where it is.

34:28🔗 Drew Directly underneath.

34:30🔗 No, it's to the right a little bit, yeah. It's right, yeah.

34:34🔗 Adam I have nipples, John, can you milk me?

34:37🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Actually, I think I have.

34:38🔗 Drew You need to see a dermatologist. It could be a tumor, it could be a wart.

34:41🔗 Adam It's not a tumor.

34:42🔗 Drew No, no, that's the thing.

34:43🔗 I don't have like any insurance at all. I can't see anybody. I just want to tell you something. Anything you can give me, I'd appreciate it. Just if it...

34:50🔗 Drew It could be cancer.

34:51🔗 Adam How could it be a tumor if it's just on the...

34:54🔗 Drew I don't know what it is. Skin tumor.

34:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker That's sad that this guy has nowhere to... I mean, there must be somewhere you can go.

35:00🔗 Drew Yes, you can go to the San Francisco General. Just go and walk in. Go to the county hospital. You can walk in and get health care. That's it, just go. It could be cancer for all I know. I mean, you're just describing a growth on your scan. It could be anything.

35:16🔗 Adam Have you seen a third nipple before? And I'm being serious, Drew. Have you seen one on a human?

35:20🔗 Drew Many times. Is that like the third eye? They're very kind. They can sometimes just look like a mole. And sometimes they can look like a nipple.

35:26🔗 Adam Is it sensitive like a nipple?

35:29🔗 Drew No.

35:29🔗 Adam No, okay.

35:30🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Have you ever seen a third vagina?

35:32🔗 Adam I've seen many more than three vaginas.

35:34🔗 Drew But I've seen a one with two vaginas.

35:36🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Really?

35:37🔗 Drew They can have septated vaginas. Not that important.

35:40🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Explain what kind of porn have you been watching?

35:42🔗 Drew A woman can have basically two chambers in there.

35:45🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Firewall.

35:46🔗 Drew I had one once that even had two uteruses and two systems. Wow, two systems? Systems.

35:52🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Does that mean if they have twins they can come out of at the same time?

35:56🔗 Drew No.

35:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker No.

35:58🔗 Adam Wow. Still mine, kills me. Where we going, Drew?

36:01🔗 Drew Megan.

36:02🔗 Adam Megan, what's up? You're 18. Hi, what's going on? Nothing.

36:05🔗 Caller I was just wondering why I like to sleep with older men.

36:10🔗 Adam Sleep with them? Where's your dad?

36:13🔗 Caller My dad is in Nantica.

36:15🔗 Drew What's he doing out there?

36:16🔗 Caller He's living there.

36:19🔗 Drew He doesn't live with you?

36:21🔗 Caller No, I was his dad.

36:23🔗 Drew How old were you when your biological dad left? Why'd he leave?

36:28🔗 Caller He was an alcoholic.

36:31🔗 Adam I nailed that one, Drew. You seem to call that one out.

36:33🔗 Drew Yeah, Stryker got that one. So there you go. That's where you're, that's coming from. Oh. It gets wired in. That gets wired into the implicit mechanisms of your brain. And then a puberty, those things that were traumatizing get turned into attraction. And there you go. You got to make that right. You got to find a guy like that and make him love you the way the one that you needed when you needed him didn't.

36:54🔗 Yeah.

36:55🔗 Drew Yeah.

36:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You get along with your stepdad?

36:58🔗 No, not really.

36:59🔗 Drew Yeah.

36:59🔗 System of a Down with Stryker That'll help too.

37:00🔗 Adam How old are the guys that you're sleeping with? You're 18. How old are they?

37:04🔗 Caller Well, my first boyfriend was 28.

37:05🔗 Adam That's not that bad. That's not terrible.

37:08🔗 Well, I mean, we got together when I was 16.

37:11🔗 Adam Yeah, that's bad.

37:14🔗 Caller Is there something wrong with him?

37:17🔗 Drew Yes, wait till you're 26. You'll vomit when you realize who you were dating. At 26, you'll date a 16-year-old and it will freak you out when you're 26.

37:25🔗 Caller Well, it freaks me out now.

37:27🔗 Drew Good. That's good. That's a good sign. So date somebody your own age.

37:30🔗 Adam Why are you just brushing her off like that?

37:32🔗 Drew What are we going to do?

37:33🔗 Adam I guess just tell her to go get a date.

37:36🔗 Drew I'm about to get into some platitudes about therapy, therapy, therapy. My point is either she can stop this and have healthier relationships or she can do something about this.

37:46🔗 Adam Casino. You're 21 on Loveline. What's up?

37:48🔗 Caller Hey, what's up? Drew, you're the greatest system. I love you guys. You're my favorite band ever.

37:57🔗 Adam Ever?

37:58🔗 Caller Wow. Ever. Definitely. What do you guys think about like the FCC cracking down on just radio period? You know what I'm saying?

38:08🔗 Caller On all airwaves.

38:09🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I think it's ridiculous. Don't even get me started on that subject.

38:12🔗 Stryker No, John, take it away.

38:13🔗 Caller I think it's a bunch of BS. I don't know. I just, what do you guys really think about it though?

38:18🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I mean, personally, I feel like we're, I think we're going backwards. You know, we really made a lot of advancements as a culture and we've also gone backwards in a lot of ways. And it feels to me like we're going back to the 50s, right after World War II, when people were dubbed communists and, you know, artists, actors were blacklisted. And I see us going towards this kind of attitude with this regime that we have in power right now. And I think it's sad. And I'm very afraid. I'm very afraid as an American of what I'm going to be allowed to say in a couple of years. And I think everyone should be afraid of that.

39:00🔗 Adam Dr. Drew and myself, you know, I'm not the normal host in here, but last night I kept, I asked you probably two or three times, I actually caught myself thinking, can I say that, Drew? And you're like, no, you can't say that anymore. Freaks me out and it pisses me off more than anything that I have to think that much about if I can get away with something.

39:16🔗 Drew Let's sort of try to stay positive about this. We should be thinking about what we say. We should, it's okay that public airways have rules. I wish they would tell us those rules. Right now we don't even know what the rules are. They're gray areas.

39:27🔗 No list on the wall.

39:28🔗 Drew Please give us a set of rules. We are law abiding citizens. We will be happy to follow the rules if you would be kind enough to give them to us. In the meantime.

39:34🔗 I thought the people owned the airwaves, though. I don't think they should regulate anything.

39:38🔗 Drew Well, okay, that is a separate issue.

39:40🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I'll tell you what. On your comment.

39:41🔗 Stryker The people don't own the airwaves. That's the truth.

39:44🔗 System of a Down with Stryker On your comment, who's going to be the one that dictates what is okay to say? You have a minority dictating it, not the majority.

39:53🔗 Drew But my point is that that's true of a lot of regulations and laws and things, and I'm delighted to be a law abiding citizen, but you got to give me the rules. In the meantime, I'm trying to help some kids, and we have to go into territory that might be a little uncomfortable. We got to go there and give us those rules, and we'll be happy to abide by them. What bothers me is that two people took the law in their own hands, and those of us that are law abiding are eating doo-doo because of it.

40:14🔗 System of a Down with Stryker That's just a scapegoat. What happened at the Super Bowl?

40:17🔗 Drew I understand that.

40:17🔗 Adam But it really got the ball rolling.

40:19🔗 Drew But it really is what happened. We were fine, and we were all abiding by the rules of the land because we knew we had public airways. That was a public airway. That was not cable. That was public broadcasting, and that has rules. And two people decided they weren't going to follow those rules, and we are all, the rest of us, are eating.

40:35🔗 Adam And before that happened, I was never more relaxed on the radio before all this has happened. I was free-flowing doing this.

40:44🔗 Stryker I'm sure it changes you.

40:45🔗 Adam It does.

40:46🔗 Drew But that's okay to think about what we're saying. That's fine. It's just, we need to understand what we're supposed to think. And that's fine. Anyway, we have to take a break. We do? I'm that heavy.

40:55🔗 Adam Are you calling the shots?

40:56🔗 Drew This is a heavy show tonight.

40:59🔗 Stryker It's my fault.

41:00🔗 Adam No, no, no.

41:01🔗 Caller All right.

41:01🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Serj, you're saying nothing.

41:02🔗 Drew Genocide and FCCs and oh my goodness.

41:05🔗 Caller All right.

41:06🔗 Adam There's more to come. Any lesbians with large breasts, John and I would like to speak to you immediately. Not because we want to make out, but John likes...

41:12🔗 Drew Because Stryker likes this stuff.

41:14🔗 Adam Fine, I do.

41:14🔗 Drew Stop picking on John. I'm going to start coming up with his race.

41:16🔗 Adam I'm not picking on John.

41:18🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, this is political John tonight.

41:19🔗 Adam All right. This is PJ tonight. Political John.

41:24🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It reminds me of Robin in a Disney movie. Vince John.

41:29🔗 Adam All right, we're taking a break. More with System, me, Stryker and Dr. Drew next on Loveline.

41:34🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Hold on. Loveline, we'll be right back.

41:46🔗 Adam All right, we are back. It is Loveline. I'm excited to be sitting in for Adam. I'm Stryker, by the way, here in LA with Dr. Drew and John and Serj from System of a Downer here. Toxicity sold over 4 million worldwide or in the States? That seems like 4 million, more than 4.

42:03🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It sold about 3 million in the States.

42:05🔗 Adam It did. Yeah. Huge. And then Steal This Album came out after that, which I love Steal This Album, and the way you guys promoted it, which was none.

42:12🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah. You know, most people, I mean, I don't know how many people bought Steal This Album, but I love that album.

42:19🔗 Adam It is so good. There's so many good songs on it.

42:20🔗 System of a Down with Stryker People probably think it's just like a, the one they see it in the stands, cause the cover, you know, it's kind of a play on what was happening back then with people downloading and whatnot, just kind of stealing music, that we don't really have like a cover, so to speak, for it. It just looks like a burned CD.

42:35🔗 Adam The actual CD and the cover of the CD looks like, I did that in my basement or something.

42:40🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And I think actually Sony hired you to put those out, right?

42:42🔗 Adam Did they? Unfortunately not, because I didn't see a dime. Join the club! There are some great freaking songs on that thing like, I AIO and then Intervision came out there.

42:55🔗 Stryker Really?

42:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And it's on that album. If you don't have that album, I don't care if you buy it, borrow it from a friend, listen to it, because we're really proud of it.

43:03🔗 Adam It could have been the next System record. If you just guys didn't want to do anything, but I know you want to do something, you can't have something that you did three years ago coming out in 2004.

43:13🔗 Stryker We just had a lot of stuff recorded, and we wanted to put it out and not wait five years to put it out or anything like that. And we didn't want to, we just got off a tour, a touring cycle, so we didn't want to go on another touring cycle for a year just to do that. So we just thought it would be cool to release it as an extra record.

43:29🔗 Adam Do you guys miss touring at all? Are you completely content hanging in LA and working right now on the new record? Are there any things you miss about the road, John?

43:36🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I probably miss the road more than Serj does.

43:39🔗 Stryker Yeah, I like touring for the first two weeks.

43:41🔗 Adam You like touring for two weeks?

43:42🔗 Drew Yeah, well, after that it's 87 weeks, you're in trouble.

43:45🔗 Stryker No, I mean, if you space it out, it's fine, you know, because you're playing shows, you know, you're playing a similar show in a different city and you want it to be fresh. And for the audience sake, you don't want to be able to, you know, be worn out after a month and whatnot. I mean, we still do it and, you know, we try to be pro about it, but, you know, for their sake, I really always think that we should always go back to ourselves and come back enriched in some way.

44:10🔗 Adam I mean, Serj, you can harmonize fantastic. You can scream. How is your, how's your voice? Do you see, do you have to see a doctor after touring during?

44:18🔗 Stryker I'm never worried about my voice, only my heart. And your brain, hopefully, sometimes, right?

44:24🔗 Drew Janette, 26.

44:25🔗 Caller All right.

44:25🔗 Yes. Janette?

44:27🔗 Caller Yes, hello.

44:28🔗 Drew Hello. What's up there? Yep, we're here.

44:30🔗 Caller Yeah, I'm here.

44:31🔗 Drew Well, this is great.

44:33🔗 Adam Put her on a seat. See, Drew, why did you choose that one? We were talking with System of a Down.

44:36🔗 Drew We have one minute to go before you're able to break.

44:38🔗 I'm here.

44:39🔗 Adam Go ahead, Jeanette, what's up?

44:40🔗 Okay, what I would like to know is I've kind of chased away two different guys that were sort of in the boyfriend potential category in the last month. The first one, first guy, we kind of hung out. I didn't sleep with him right away, waited like eight dates, and then finally we slept together, and it was all right. And...

45:02🔗 Drew And it was all right.

45:03🔗 Adam That is a long time to make them wait.

45:07🔗 Drew What is your question? We have very limited time, Regina.

45:09🔗 Okay, the second guy I slept with right away, and both of them still have never called me back. But I'm wondering if it's because I told them that I have breast cancer, which I had to tell them because the nipples inverted and I have lumps, visible lumps in the breast.

45:21🔗 Drew From, from lumpectomies or why?

45:23🔗 Caller Well, no, actually the surgeon said that they can't do surgery because it's too extensive. They want to start chemo. But I only have, they've given me within a few months, like 14 months to live. So I'm wondering if maybe that just scared the guys away.

45:40🔗 Adam Why are you making them wait eight dates then?

45:42🔗 Get it done.

45:43🔗 Caller Well, it was his choice.

45:44🔗 Caller I would have jumped on him before then, but he was, he was reticent.

45:49🔗 Drew You seem to have an awfully good attitude about all this.

45:51🔗 Yeah.

45:52🔗 Caller Well, you know what?

45:54🔗 Caller I'm a rape survivor, four different rapes. I've been kidnapped. I survived that. I've survived being shot. And so, and I've, and I've been clean for one, well, off the methadone program clean for one year.

46:06🔗 Drew You're on methadone or off methadone?

46:07🔗 Caller Off methadone. I was on methadone for two years and I completed the program in March of last year.

46:12🔗 Drew Oh, hold on. We got to talk some more to you, Jeanette.

46:14🔗 Adam Are you sure her name's not Lucky?

46:16🔗 Drew Yeah. Except for the breast cancer, I'd say so, yeah.

46:19🔗 Adam Kidding, John.

46:20🔗 Drew Man. All right, let's, let's take a break and we'll get back to Jeanette. She's an amazing story.

46:26🔗 Adam Is that real?

46:27🔗 System of a Down with Stryker This could be a whole show.

46:28🔗 Adam She's, she's got more injuries than 50 cents. She's been shot, she's gonna die in 13 months from cancer. She's been raped four times. Four times. And what is she, off the wagon now or something?

46:42🔗 Drew She's off methadone.

46:42🔗 Adam Okay, well we'll find out what is going on with Jeanette and System of a Down and Dr. Drew and Me Striker after this on Loveline. Hello there, you guys, what's up? This is Loveline, I'm Stryker, along with Dr. Drew, who is staring at the computer like a deer in the headlights across the room. And now we have 25% more of System of a Down, the bassist, the man with the long goatee.

47:38🔗 Drew Yeah, 50% more.

47:40🔗 Adam No, we added 25%.

47:42🔗 Drew Now that he's here, he's 25% of three, but-

47:44🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Hold on, let me get my abacus.

47:45🔗 Adam All right, see, the doctor has to step in. For the love of God, here we go. Javo, System, hello.

47:51🔗 Caller What's up, brother?

47:52🔗 Adam How long were you outside trying to break in the compound?

47:54🔗 Caller Well, I couldn't find the place. They told me, someone told me it was like Robertson and something else and I was driving to the old place and then I realized I called the line. Yeah, the back line? Yeah, the back line and then he's like, no man, you're going the wrong way. He hit Fairfax and I didn't and I'm here. And here you are. And then I walked in with the pooch.

48:09🔗 Adam Yeah, I saw the wiener dog.

48:10🔗 Caller Oh, he's so cute.

48:11🔗 Adam You didn't stop at Canter's on the way, did you?

48:13🔗 Caller No, no, I'm actually full. All right.

48:16🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Don't talk about food.

48:17🔗 Caller I miss you guys.

48:18🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I'm starving forever.

48:19🔗 Caller You, especially you.

48:20🔗 Adam I know. You, for real.

48:23🔗 Caller We're supposed to have dinner at my parents' house.

48:25🔗 Adam I know. I don't know. Well, your mom never called me.

48:27🔗 Caller OK, we got to go Ario to my mom right now. My mom is listening.

48:30🔗 Adam She is?

48:31🔗 Caller Mom, we're going to come to dinner next weekend with Stryker.

48:34🔗 Adam Next Sunday. We're going to eat some food.

48:36🔗 Caller It's going to be good.

48:37🔗 Adam Were you listening to your bandmates talk about...

48:39🔗 Caller Yes, I was. Of course I was. They did a great job. And I was like impressed by everything they said. I was tripping.

48:44🔗 Adam Is there anything that you want to add that, you know, you heard them talk, you're like, I want to add this and when I get there about anything...

48:50🔗 Caller This whole thing to me is not a political thing. I know it's political to, you know, a few of us.

48:55🔗 Drew Which whole thing?

48:55🔗 Caller Yeah, the genocide. To me, it's really personal. Like I heard John talk about his gramps. And I don't even know how old my grandpa is because everyone...

49:05🔗 Drew 137.

49:06🔗 Caller Maybe. But he looks like he's 60. But he's like 70, 80 something. We don't know his birthdate or his age because everyone was killed. That new brother.

49:17🔗 Drew With all the records.

49:18🔗 Caller Yeah, everyone. So he was raised in an American orphanage in Greece. And like John said, I wouldn't be here if he wasn't taken in by Greece, you know, which is amazing. Americans in Greece. So...

49:29🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I would like to say one thing, though.

49:31🔗 Caller Hi, Gramps.

49:32🔗 System of a Down with Stryker A lot of Armenians would have perished if it wasn't for very brave Turkish people in Turkey at that time, but took Armenians in, and they could have lost their lives for harboring Armenians.

49:44🔗 Caller I mean, countries like Iraq took us in. I'm talking about, we're a Christian, and Muslim countries like Iraq took us in because they said, what the hell is going on here?

49:51🔗 Drew Was this a religious thing?

49:53🔗 Caller No, no, but you know what? Turks are Muslim, and we're a Christian, and we're the first nation to accept Christianity as a national religion. That probably took some, not major, because I know a lot of it is economic and political, but it was just weird to have a country like Iraq and Iran and all these countries that people always look at in America as the negative vibe of the world and all this stuff, and they took us in, and they were like, you know what? We don't care what they do and what they believe in. They're good people, and it shouldn't be happening to them.

50:24🔗 System of a Down with Stryker A lot of countries actually took us in at that time.

50:27🔗 Caller That's why we're so spread out. You know, that's why there's Armenians from Iraq, there's Armenians from Lebanon, there's Armenians from Turkey, there's Armenians from Greece. My headphone just went out. You're on. I'm cool. I'm cool. Anyway, yeah, so that's why we're all spread all over the world, America, you know? Right. Australia.

50:46🔗 Adam If you just turn it into Loveline, John, Shavo, and Serj are here from System of a Down, and we've been talking about the show that they're doing. It's a benefit show, the Souls Benefit Concert. April 24th. Go ahead, John.

50:58🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I do want to mention that our guitarist was going to be here, but he couldn't make it.

51:01🔗 Really?

51:04🔗 System of a Down with Stryker He was actually going to come here.

51:05🔗 Caller Yeah, he was really going to come. He was really... We've been as a band, honestly, tighter and closer than we've been for years, and I love the vibe.

51:13🔗 I love it.

51:14🔗 Caller We're like stronger than ever, I feel, and we're like a juggernaut right now as a unit. Yeah.

51:19🔗 Adam Very good. It's 1-800-LOVE-191 if you want to talk to System, ask them questions about Armenian. Genocide, anything else about there, their takes. Now we want to get back to Jeanette, she's 26, she's been shot four times, raped a hundred times, and she's going to die in a year of breast cancer.

51:43🔗 Drew Right. Is that about you, Jeanette?

51:44🔗 Adam No, no.

51:45🔗 Caller That's about it.

51:46🔗 Caller I don't believe you.

51:48🔗 Caller Well, let me tell you this, okay, when I was shot, it sounds a lot worse than, well, it was bad, but I was 15 and I was shot with buckshot, and the only reason it was serious is because two of the buckshots hit an artery on my inner thigh, I was climbing up a ladder to a hayloft, and my cousins, well anyway, you don't need to hear the whole story. Pardon me?

52:09🔗 Caller Where did you grow up, where were you?

52:10🔗 Caller I grew up in Seattle, but my cousins live in Colorado, so we visited.

52:14🔗 Caller Where did this happen? In Colorado.

52:16🔗 Caller This happened in Colorado.

52:18🔗 Drew But now, and so you got strung out of heroin somewhere along the way, right?

52:21🔗 Caller Yes, well I have, not that this is an excuse by any means, I have bipolar syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder, go figure that, you know? Yeah, what happened? But, yes.

52:33🔗 Adam I love that you're laughing about it.

52:34🔗 Drew How do you get this attitude? Did you have some treatment, or are you just in recovery just on E right now?

52:39🔗 Caller Two years of therapy, but I mean, what else am I going to do? Am I going to go burrow in a hole and just spend my life?

52:45🔗 Drew Well, most addicts would use this as a great excuse to go use.

52:48🔗 Caller Oh, you know, do I want to spend the last who knows how long of my life strung up? Definitely not.

52:55🔗 Drew And why aren't they giving you any chance at more of a response with your breast cancer?

53:00🔗 Caller Well, when I saw my regular doctor, I mean the breast specialist, what he had said was that it's 75% of my left breast and it's spread into the lymph nodes.

53:14🔗 Drew I understand it's widespread, but why won't they give you any chance of any sort of aggressive interventions? Yeah.

53:20🔗 Caller I'm responding. I'm not really sure. I'm talking. I have a meeting with the oncologist tomorrow at 3 and I saw my regular doctor on Wednesday to stop smoking because she said that would help my immune system definitely. But what she had told me is that he's already scheduled me for chemotherapy because they want to start attacking it aggressively, but I'm not really sure.

53:42🔗 Adam Why go through chemo, Dr. Drew, if they're saying you only have a year or so to live?

53:47🔗 Drew Maybe less, maybe six months without the chemo.

53:49🔗 Adam Well why go through that pain and...

53:50🔗 Drew The breast cancer, it depends on which one they're going to give her.

53:53🔗 Caller Hey, I'm sorry for saying I don't believe you because...

53:55🔗 Drew Now he does.

53:58🔗 Caller Actually, I thought you were messing with me.

53:59🔗 Drew The original question was though, what happened to these guys? Did they get scared up because of the breast cancer? Is there anything else about the way you relate to guys that might scare them off? Are you kind of aggressive sexually or anything?

54:09🔗 Adam It took her eight dates to sleep with one guy.

54:12🔗 Drew Is there anything about you? Because you've been a trauma survivor. Oh, she's gone.

54:17🔗 Caller We hung up on her.

54:18🔗 Drew Oh, no.

54:19🔗 Caller Her last home. That's terrible.

54:21🔗 Adam I don't think she should worry about scary enough guys and maybe concentrate on her illness and be happy.

54:26🔗 Caller I concentrate on doing as much as I could in life before, you know, the time came. I do as much as I can.

54:31🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Get healthy. Concentrate on getting healthy.

54:33🔗 Drew Congratulations on your recovery. Rebecca 21.

54:36🔗 Caller Heart's cool.

54:37🔗 Drew Hey, Rebecca.

54:38🔗 Caller Hey, can I ask a better question?

54:40🔗 Caller Well, the most part of the day.

54:42🔗 Drew Here they are.

54:50🔗 Adam I mean, you ride bulls there, don't you?

54:51🔗 System of a Down with Stryker El Paso.

54:53🔗 Caller Every time I'm in El Paso, yeehaw. No, it's if our agent sends us there, I mean, we don't usually book our own tours.

54:59🔗 System of a Down with Stryker We definitely tour Texas, but El Paso is in Texas, right?

55:03🔗 Caller No, it's in Chicago. It's in Illinois, bro. It's near Chicago.

55:07🔗 System of a Down with Stryker No, I don't think we've ever played there, but maybe just for you we'll come down. K-Rock's now off the air.

55:18🔗 Caller We're done.

55:19🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Because of the new rules of the FCC, K-Rock is now on your love lines off the air. That's it.

55:23🔗 Adam You guys should see Serj is going, of course we can't see that.

55:26🔗 Caller Are you serious? But they say that on Comedy Central and stuff.

55:30🔗 Adam No.

55:31🔗 Caller Oh, you can.

55:32🔗 Drew Can't. You gotta block that out.

55:33🔗 Caller I apologize.

55:34🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You know, we were talking about this off the air and everyone should really be concerned because like I said, the regime that's in place right now, there should be a separation of church and state. And Drew, what you just read me made me sick.

55:51🔗 Adam What did it say, Drew? I was outside running for a system record. If you want to get into it.

55:55🔗 Drew I didn't read it carefully enough, but I was just reading something about the definition of profanity.

56:01🔗 Caller You know, South Park, they use that word like that was one episode.

56:05🔗 Drew That's cable.

56:06🔗 System of a Down with Stryker They can do whatever they want. And you can do whatever you want if it's NYPD Blue. But if you're having a normal conversation and you're an adult, watch what you say.

56:15🔗 Drew No, it's public airways versus cable.

56:18🔗 Caller That's the beginning of it.

56:20🔗 Drew Sorry, Becca, that's it. What was the question?

56:24🔗 Adam I forgot. Oh, El Paso.

56:25🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, that makes me mad. Can I say that?

56:29🔗 Drew Go ahead.

56:31🔗 Caller We'll be near El Paso. How's that?

56:32🔗 Drew Rebecca, what's up?

56:33🔗 Caller We're planning a good, long tour.

56:34🔗 System of a Down with Stryker We usually play Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, just to be honest with you, when we play in Texas.

56:41🔗 Caller Yeah, we have.

56:42🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Have we?

56:42🔗 Caller Yeah, we have.

56:43🔗 System of a Down with Stryker That's not in Texas, though, is it?

56:44🔗 Caller No, it's in New Mexico, but it's the closest thing to here.

56:47🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Wow, we played New Mexico? I don't remember that.

56:50🔗 Caller Yeah, we did Albuquerque. You don't remember? It was a five o'clock show headlining. Five o'clock?

56:55🔗 Drew This is Arnavina.

56:56🔗 Stryker It's your black label, these.

57:01🔗 Adam On the Rezox black label.

57:02🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I don't remember that tour.

57:03🔗 Caller And then he passed it on to Maya.

57:05🔗 Drew 21, Arnavina.

57:06🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You can't say that either.

57:07🔗 Adam Yes, you can.

57:09🔗 System of a Down with Stryker As.

57:10🔗 Drew Arnavina's from Glendale.

57:12🔗 Caller Alio. Vontes.

57:20🔗 Drew What did you say?

57:20🔗 Caller Quimosa. What would you say? Audio? Kitsabe? What is that?

57:25🔗 Stryker No.

57:25🔗 Drew Do you have pain?

57:28🔗 Caller Oh, that's nice.

57:30🔗 Stryker He's a doctor. Kitsabe.

57:36🔗 Adam What's going on, Armina?

57:38🔗 Caller I just want to call and give you guys a heads up for all the effort you guys have been putting for the Armenian genocide, educating everybody about it. I'm really excited that, you know, someone's actually voicing the, voicing something about what happened.

57:55🔗 Caller Well, someone needs to.

57:56🔗 Caller Hello?

57:57🔗 Caller Yeah, someone needs to. So, if we're the people that are doing it.

58:01🔗 Caller Yeah, no, because I was born and raised here. I'm from Grand Island. I was born and raised.

58:04🔗 Caller Of course you are.

58:05🔗 Caller I personally grew up not knowing much about it, and it's really nice to know that there's actually people that, you know, that are doing something about it.

58:14🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And just keep in mind that the point isn't that, yeah, there was a genocide that took place in Sarmina. The point is that these things are still happening, and how do we prevent them from happening? We educate ourselves and each other about things that happened in the past. The Holocaust that took place, you know, during World War II probably wouldn't have been, would never have happened if the Armenian genocide was recognized. And that's something that's very important.

58:40🔗 Caller You guys remember the quote, the Hitler quote?

58:43🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Why don't you go ahead and do that?

58:44🔗 Caller What's the museum, Serj? Do you know which museum that was at?

58:47🔗 Stryker Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC has a quote on the third floor from Hitler that basically says who remembers the Armenians now as he was, you know, starting to give orders for persecution of the Jews in the 30s. His mindset is very obvious as to what he thought he could get away with. And that's really important to note.

59:07🔗 System of a Down with Stryker He was stationed in Turkey during World War I, so he saw it first.

59:12🔗 Caller Yeah, he saw these things happen and he was, well, I've heard he saw this happen because, well, they were allies in World War I, so they were very aware of what was going on. Don't the Caucus Mountains go through Armenia? Isn't that one of the...

59:25🔗 Drew Liz is 19.

59:25🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Can you say that on the radio now?

59:28🔗 Caller Hey, the Caucus Mountains go through Armenia and like, you know, when Hitler went, he was offended by the whole thing. He was like, why are they doing this to these people?

59:38🔗 Adam This is such a rollercoaster level. Dr. Drew, seriously, we've got crazy, serious education combined with the other stuff.

59:46🔗 Caller OK, the fact that I can say Caucus on the air is amazing for me.

59:51🔗 Adam Liz, 19. What's up? You're on Loveline with System of a Down, Shavo.

59:56🔗 Caller I am having this is for Dr. Drew. I'm having, I think possibly the best sex I've ever had in my entire life.

1:00:10🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Definitely not doing the thing in the lamp dance, right?

1:00:14🔗 Caller All right, go on, I'm sorry, you had the best sex of your life and then what?

1:00:19🔗 Caller Well, the problem is that like I can orgasm, but I can't completely, fully climax. I can't reach that output.

1:00:29🔗 Caller Then you're not having the best sex of your life.

1:00:31🔗 Caller No, I mean, I am like literally out of out of everyone else in the past.

1:00:36🔗 Adam I mean, you guys are in San Antonio, right?

1:00:38🔗 Caller Yes, we did.

1:00:39🔗 Drew That's where she is.

1:00:41🔗 Adam You're in San Antonio.

1:00:43🔗 Caller I can't go from genocide to sex. I'm sorry.

1:00:45🔗 Drew By the way, this this this highlights the differences between men and women. Men cannot cannot get their head around, cannot imagine the idea of great sex without an orgasm. For women, the way their brain works, they can have an experience called receptivity, where they can have an experience that is highly sexual, highly arousing without a climate.

1:01:07🔗 Caller But see, also women come, you know, can climax a couple, you know, a few times and men can't.

1:01:13🔗 Drew Most women cannot do that, but some can.

1:01:17🔗 Caller Some can.

1:01:17🔗 Adam Well, some guys can have one after another.

1:01:19🔗 Caller No, I can't do that. But I mean, I've been with, you know, people that have.

1:01:23🔗 Drew Yes, some women can.

1:01:24🔗 Adam What was his name?

1:01:25🔗 Caller I guess them. John. He plays for this band that's on the air right now.

1:01:33🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, I did climax a couple of times. Thanks, Chef.

1:01:35🔗 Caller Yeah, no problem, bro.

1:01:37🔗 Adam So your question is what? You want to know how you can fully climax, I guess?

1:01:42🔗 Caller I mean, well, I've been able to have an orgasm with a complete climax. And it was great. But I'm having sex and it's like right there. It's right there. But I just, it won't finish.

1:01:53🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Stop thinking about it.

1:01:54🔗 Caller It's mental. It's fully mental for you, I'll be honest.

1:01:56🔗 Caller Well, what do I think about?

1:01:57🔗 Caller Well, you don't think about nothing and just enjoy the moment. Enjoy the moment. Don't think about having to have an orgasm. Don't think about anything because, I mean, even as a guy, you know, if I am stressing over orgasm, you know, having an orgasm, I probably won't be able to. So just don't think about it. Enjoy yourself. And don't stress on it. They're laughing right here. They're tripping that I'm talking about.

1:02:19🔗 System of a Down with Stryker What was that movie Singles where he's like, you know what I'm talking about, right? Oh, yeah.

1:02:26🔗 Caller Drew, do you know who we're talking to?

1:02:28🔗 Adam Drew, please don't be a d***.

1:02:29🔗 Caller Where's Adam Carolla? Where did he go?

1:02:31🔗 Adam He's in New York.

1:02:32🔗 Caller What is he doing over there? What are you saying? Nothing. He'd be like this. He'd have the mic right here. And he's got his eyes closed all the time. Yeah, I know everything and you don't. I know you're a doctor, but I can tell jokes. My name is Adam Carolla and my eyes are closed right now, but you can't see me. That would be Adam if you ever were in the studio. And then you go, you know what? I love taboo. And that's all I can talk about when John shows up. And even Shava from System is sick of hearing about it. I'm Adam Carolla and I love being that guy.

1:03:09🔗 And you know my wife?

1:03:10🔗 Caller You know? And the TV shut down and I got scared.

1:03:16🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I'm Rick James, bitch.

1:03:18🔗 Adam That's funny. I like that show. Yeah, that's funny.

1:03:21🔗 Caller The show is on. My favorite show is out right now. And I'll give him props if he's listening.

1:03:24🔗 Adam My friend named his dog Rick James because of that.

1:03:27🔗 Caller That show is so funny. I mean, I was a fan before that.

1:03:30🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Amazing bit.

1:03:30🔗 Caller But when the Rick James thing happened, then he's the Prince the week after where Prince is ripping on basketball shirts and blouses. Oh, man. That guy has balls. I can say balls.

1:03:41🔗 Adam Yes, you can. Or you can say wave us. Wave us. Let's go to Morgan.

1:03:45🔗 Drew Collie. Collie.

1:03:46🔗 Adam Oh, do we have to go to that one? About the liver?

1:03:48🔗 Drew Ninety-one minutes.

1:03:49🔗 Adam Hell. Go ahead. Ninety-one minutes.

1:03:52🔗 Hi, Dr. Pinsky, Striker System of a Down. Thanks. Dr. Drew, you correctly identified me with the dual rare liver disease, polycystic liver disease, and parole disease. And a month ago, I called you to let you know I was hung up on this one beautiful girl. I was fortunate enough to share intimacy with her a few times, and I felt bonded. Of course, she said, yeah, I know you're not the one. And on your and Adam's advice, I moved on. Well, the other day I was with this amazing young girl that I've started seeing, and I had trouble performing.

1:04:22🔗 And I don't know why.

1:04:23🔗 Is it because I've been out of the game so long, or does the liver actually affect sex?

1:04:28🔗 Drew Well, certainly your overall health condition can affect your, I mean, one of the things that has become very clear in recent years is that male sexual performance is very much involved with the biological state. That to put too much emphasis, particularly young male, on psychological is not right. That if you're not working, more often than not, it has a biological basis to it. And again, particularly older guys, too. So yeah, you've got a chronic illness, certainly can affect your performance, absolutely.

1:04:56🔗 Adam Morgan, 16. What's up? Number 2.

1:05:00🔗 Caller I've been dating a guy on and off since last spring. And we've had sex four times.

1:05:08🔗 Adam Since last spring, only four times?

1:05:10🔗 Caller Yeah, well, we just started a few months ago.

1:05:13🔗 Caller Quarterly sex.

1:05:15🔗 System of a Down with Stryker He faces taxes in any band.

1:05:17🔗 Caller Every season you can do it. Enjoy lunch.

1:05:20🔗 Drew She's 16.

1:05:22🔗 Caller He only orgasmed one of the times. And so I'm wondering, like, should we be having sex? Should we break up because of that?

1:05:31🔗 Caller How old is he?

1:05:32🔗 Drew No, he shouldn't break up, shouldn't be having sex.

1:05:34🔗 Caller How old is he?

1:05:34🔗 Caller He's 16.

1:05:36🔗 Caller You guys are pretty young. And if he's not able to get to that situation, you know...

1:05:41🔗 Caller Well, see, he can have an orgasm with, like, oral sex and with, like, hand jobs.

1:05:47🔗 Adam Are you guys using protection as you're wearing a condom?

1:05:50🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:05:50🔗 Adam Well, that could be something...

1:05:52🔗 Caller But, you know, I never... I mean, you should always use a condom.

1:05:55🔗 Drew But don't you guys hear, like, a 10-year-old here?

1:05:57🔗 Adam I was gonna say, what happened to you when you were 5?

1:05:59🔗 Caller No, nothing. I don't know. I think it's something when I get on the phone that my voice goes up and I get nervous.

1:06:05🔗 Caller You sound really young.

1:06:06🔗 Drew You sound 10.

1:06:08🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:06:08🔗 Drew 12. So what happened when you were about 10?

1:06:11🔗 Caller I've had no abuse, but...

1:06:14🔗 Drew Did your family break up or something? Did anybody die or did anything happen around that time? Hello?

1:06:23🔗 Caller No trauma.

1:06:26🔗 Drew You sound very young and you sound very sort of lost, too. You're engaged in an intimate physical relationship and asking questions that are just sort of...

1:06:38🔗 Caller Well, like you said, the guys won't have good sex if they're not orgasming, so I guess I'm just...

1:06:45🔗 Adam So your mind's playing tricks on you now.

1:06:46🔗 Drew No, Morgan, you're saying because this happened, should we break up? Those two things don't even...

1:06:54🔗 System of a Down with Stryker What does one have to do with the other?

1:06:55🔗 Drew Right, they don't connect at all. You're sort of just spinning out of control. You sound so naive and so immature. It makes you wonder if you have been sort of exploited or taken advantage of. Is there something in that in this relationship, too?

1:07:11🔗 Caller No, I don't think so. He's a good guy.

1:07:14🔗 Caller That's not the question.

1:07:17🔗 Adam You were thinking of breaking up with him and ending it because he's not having orgasms quarterly.

1:07:22🔗 Caller Yeah, well, I don't want him to be just staying in there for me when he's not enjoying himself.

1:07:30🔗 Adam Let me tell you something there, sweetie, and I don't call people sweetie that often. Any sex for a guy, he's enjoying it.

1:07:36🔗 Caller At 16?

1:07:37🔗 Adam Yes.

1:07:38🔗 Drew All pizza. All pizza is good.

1:07:40🔗 Adam Right.

1:07:40🔗 Caller All pizza is good.

1:07:42🔗 Adam Is it break time?

1:07:43🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You've got to flick the anchovies off sometimes, though.

1:07:49🔗 Adam All right, we're going to take a break.

1:07:51🔗 System of a Down with Stryker How many breaks are we going to take here?

1:07:52🔗 Adam A lot of breaks. We've got Xavier McDaniel here. We've got Karl Malone and Gary Payton. The System of a Down is here. John, Salvo, Serj, more of the guys. I'm Stryker and Dr. Drew in Loveline after this.

1:08:09🔗 Caller 1-800-LOVE-191.

1:08:10🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Loveline will be right back.

1:08:16🔗 Loveline is brought to you by Metro PCS.

1:08:19🔗 Caller Permission to speak freely.

1:08:28🔗 Adam It's Loveline. We got about a half hour left. We're system of a damn. John, Shavo, and Serj are here. Hey, when you guys are done with the record and it comes out in your tour again, do you think maybe just for a warm up, you may do a few smaller venues, just maybe for the fans, for the website, for them.

1:08:45🔗 Drew The striker can announce it in his show.

1:08:47🔗 Adam Yeah, no, no.

1:08:48🔗 System of a Down with Stryker 10,000 people there.

1:08:49🔗 Adam No, no, I'm serious. Something like Roxy, Whiskey, and a couple places like that.

1:08:53🔗 Caller I don't know if everyone's done, but I thought maybe before the album comes out, we do a little tour around, you remember what I told you? We do like small clubs, like just like the major cities, we do little clubs without it announcing and maybe take a tour and sell the day off at the venue. Something like that. I'm not a hundred percent, so don't quote me on that, but that's an idea, which would be really cool because I think every one of us enjoys playing smaller places compared to bigger places because the vibe in there, the energy.

1:09:20🔗 Adam Instamacy, probably.

1:09:21🔗 Caller Yeah, it's so amazing. I mean, I miss playing the whiskey, the Roxy and stuff.

1:09:25🔗 Adam I remember seeing you guys in a three night span, years ago.

1:09:30🔗 Caller Yeah, on all three clubs.

1:09:31🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You saw most of us.

1:09:32🔗 Caller Yeah, the third night at the Troubadour when Serj, you don't understand the things I and the rest of the band went through. He was so sick. It was last night, it was Sunday or Saturday. It was Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Saturday at the Troubadour and fans are lined up all outside like, I'm talking about, it was like 3 p.m. there was like 100 kids outside and Serj lost his voice and had a fever and could not sing and I tripped out and I thought he was just maybe exaggerating the fact that he was.

1:10:01🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Well, I went to his house.

1:10:02🔗 Caller Well, I went to his house too. He was green. I had to go to Ozzie's house, pick up some medicine or something. Something that actually might work.

1:10:09🔗 Drew Some sort of leftover from Ozzie.

1:10:10🔗 Adam Why did you have to go to Ozzie?

1:10:12🔗 System of a Down with Stryker We actually got some of Ozzie's blood and just injected it in a Serj.

1:10:16🔗 Caller We were tripping on it just to make him better as quick as possible and we thought, the greatest rock and roll guy, let's go see what he does when he can't perform and he has to. So, it did not help. I went to his house, he was in bed. He could not even say a word. I felt so terrible. And then we understood, you know, and then we were like, how could we just not play? Everyone's outside already. And we had done something before on tour. He had gotten-

1:10:38🔗 System of a Down with Stryker For different reasons.

1:10:39🔗 Caller No, but he had gotten bronchitis or something.

1:10:41🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Well, what about the basketball day?

1:10:43🔗 Caller Oh, that was different. That was totally different.

1:10:45🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Let's segue this, okay? This is a segue.

1:10:47🔗 Caller Here are a couple of stories. This was the first one happened in South Carolina. Okay, he was.

1:10:51🔗 Stryker You guys are making me look bad.

1:10:53🔗 Caller No, no, we toured extensively. I'm talking about years, you know? And you're allowed to get sick. And this is a vocalist and his instrument is his vocal chords. And if you can't use him, you can't. My bass breaks and I don't have another bass. I cannot play. Anyhow, he couldn't do it. And we didn't want to cancel more than like three, four shows. And we had already canceled a few cities. So we're in South Carolina. I remember Spartanburg. And I think Darren had this idea. He was a man of ideas. He was like, dude, let's have the kids come up and sing. And he's like, this will be like, you know, imagine if you were a kid and, you know, your favorite band or, you know, the band you're going to see, you can get up and sing their lyrics and be the singer for one day. So we did it in South Carolina. And it was a success, even though we fought with Incubus for some small reason. And we made friends again. But anyway, and then we did it in Pittsburgh once because this guy was in DC playing basketball, right? And he got stuck in traffic. So we brought the kids up there. It was almost a riot.

1:11:47🔗 System of a Down with Stryker The best thing was as we're getting off stage, Serj was coming up the stairs.

1:11:53🔗 Caller I'm glad you guys aren't on yet. And I'm going, no, bro, we're done. And the stress, we were just waiting for him. And there was cell phones and going on. And it was like 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes. We have the crowds chanting system for 40 minutes, an hour. We're like, what are we going to do? Darren is wearing his make-up. I'm, shh. My mom was like, I said, I didn't say anything anyway. Mr. Shabbo. So anyway, we played in Pittsburgh without Serj. So we got kind of good at it.

1:12:30🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Hold on, hold on.

1:12:33🔗 Give the mic to the lead singer now.

1:12:35🔗 System of a Down with Stryker That's enough of you.

1:12:36🔗 Stryker There he goes. Serj, what did you take before coming here?

1:12:39🔗 Adam Man, he's so excited. I love it. He's only been here for 30 minutes.

1:12:43🔗 Caller That's why he's full of all the PNP right now.

1:12:45🔗 System of a Down with Stryker He's already had six cups of coffee. I don't know, you put two in the middle.

1:12:47🔗 Drew He dropped the S-bomb twice.

1:12:48🔗 Caller I've been listening. I've been listening to you guys and I've been going, oh my God.

1:12:52🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You know, it just makes you feel better. He drops the S-bomb twice at the studio too.

1:12:56🔗 Adam That's good.

1:12:57🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You can't walk into the bathroom for like a half hour.

1:12:59🔗 Caller What's the S-bomb?

1:12:59🔗 Adam Don't say the S-bomb word. The S-word, the S-word. All right, that's System of a Down. The guy's talking. Serj, you ever go to Laker games? Are you a Laker fan?

1:13:07🔗 Stryker A long time ago, yeah, I am. I like playing more than watching.

1:13:11🔗 Adam How do you think the Lakers are going to end up this year? A lot of injuries, but really, really good team.

1:13:16🔗 Stryker No idea. I don't have a TV.

1:13:18🔗 Adam Really?

1:13:19🔗 Stryker Yeah.

1:13:19🔗 Adam You have a radio?

1:13:20🔗 Stryker I mean, I have a TV hooked up to a VCR and DVD, but I don't have cable or regular television. I find it too distracting.

1:13:27🔗 Adam Kyle, 23. What's up, man? You're on Loveline.

1:13:31🔗 Caller Yeah. Hey, man. What's going on? I just wanted to say, System, you guys rock. That's a kick butt band, man. I don't want to curse again. I basically had a question for Dr. Drew. My question for him was that in this day and age, if you're sleeping around with different girls and whatnot, and say one of them, you don't really get to know them too well, one of them might have this drug problem that they keep a secret or something like that. Let's say they just use drugs. Now, say just for instance, you were to have sex with somebody while they were unbeknownst to you using drugs. Is there any way that you could show up positive for the drugs that they're using just by having intercourse with them, like in a UA or something?

1:14:12🔗 Drew No.

1:14:13🔗 Caller No possible way?

1:14:14🔗 Drew It's possible for a woman.

1:14:16🔗 Caller Really?

1:14:16🔗 Drew The amphetamines are concentrated about seven times more in the sperm and the semen than in the body.

1:14:21🔗 Adam Really? You can transfer it into them.

1:14:23🔗 Drew But for a male, no.

1:14:25🔗 Caller So there's no possible way because I mean I'm on probation and it's random drop.

1:14:29🔗 Drew Yeah I understand but you're using drugs and you got to stop thinking of ways to try to talk your way out of that.

1:14:34🔗 Caller No, no I'm not using drugs.

1:14:36🔗 Drew Then you have nothing to worry about.

1:14:37🔗 Caller No.

1:14:38🔗 Adam What do you have on probation for?

1:14:41🔗 Caller What am I on probation for?

1:14:42🔗 Adam Yeah I'm just curious.

1:14:43🔗 Drew Parole violation.

1:14:44🔗 Caller No, not parole violation. I've never been inside man. No, I had a drug problem and what I did was related to that drug problem, you know what I mean? Just doing stupid things but I really am. I've been clean for over a year and I'm not doing drugs anymore.

1:14:56🔗 Stryker I'm not interested in any kind of drugs.

1:14:57🔗 Drew Then you shouldn't worry about it.

1:14:59🔗 Caller Okay, well it's just something that I do worry about, you know what I mean, because I wouldn't want to work so hard for something just to throw it all away like that.

1:15:08🔗 Drew Drew, you're looking very, but he's awfully focused on there being a positive test.

1:15:13🔗 Caller Well dude, I mean, well I'm sorry, I'm not to call you dude or anything like that, but Dr. Drew, the way it is, is like this, you know. I mean, I really seriously had a problem with drugs. I know how that went for me and I don't want to be like that again and I worry about it constantly like, you know, what could I be doing, you know, like, you know, just simple stuff, like even if I kiss a girl after she's had a drink or something like that, oh my God, what if they breathalyze me, just like, you know, compulsively worry about it. I know it's like not a normal thing.

1:15:36🔗 Drew These tests are designed to pick up people who are doing drugs. That's what they're designed for.

1:15:40🔗 Adam Not screwing women.

1:15:41🔗 Drew Not for kissing somebody who's been having a beer.

1:15:44🔗 Caller Right. Yeah, it is screwing with me, man. I know it's like.

1:15:46🔗 Drew Yeah, just relax. Or if you're really in a program, go ahead and just capitulate to that and relax.

1:15:52🔗 Caller All right, cool, man. Well, thanks for answering my question.

1:15:54🔗 Drew Good luck.

1:15:55🔗 Adam All right, let's go to Francisco. Is that cool? 16, Francisco, what's up?

1:15:59🔗 Caller Hey, man. I'm like freaking out here.

1:16:01🔗 System of a Down, you guys are awesome.

1:16:04🔗 Adam Sorry to call you dude, Dr. Drew.

1:16:05🔗 Drew That's all right.

1:16:06🔗 Everyone calls me dude.

1:16:07🔗 Stryker Did the FCC take that out?

1:16:08🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:16:09🔗 Adam Yeah, probably.

1:16:10🔗 Caller Dr. Drew, you're awesome, too.

1:16:11🔗 Not to be feel left out or anything.

1:16:14🔗 I have a question for System of a Down.

1:16:16🔗 Caller Me and my friends have a big debate about the meaning behind the song Mr. Jack. In Toxicity, Serj thanks Mr. Jack for mass relaxations and we kind of assumed it was like a drug dealer or something, but can you clarify?

1:16:43🔗 Stryker Um, your assumption is more important to what you believe that the song is about than what I can tell you, so whatever you want to make out of it is cool with me.

1:16:53🔗 Drew They kind of want, but they want to know what the history is behind the song.

1:16:57🔗 Adam That is such the go-to, Serj. That's perfect.

1:17:00🔗 Caller I've been listening before I was here and all your answers were really vague and I was going, he could be president one day, especially if they pass the new, what do they try and do?

1:17:12🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, you don't have to be born in the country to be president.

1:17:15🔗 Drew But is there a history that you can talk about?

1:17:17🔗 Stryker A history?

1:17:18🔗 Drew Of the song?

1:17:19🔗 Caller It's actually a secret.

1:17:21🔗 Drew Okay, there you go.

1:17:22🔗 Caller Yeah, but.

1:17:22🔗 Drew There you go.

1:17:24🔗 Caller There is a third go-to.

1:17:26🔗 Adam All right, let's go to Serj.

1:17:27🔗 Drew Can we go right to Serj?

1:17:28🔗 Adam Is that cool? Serj 20, what's up?

1:17:31🔗 Caller I just have to say, you guys as a band are like awesome. I can't even explain how great you guys are. And it's more than just a band, you guys are like a consciousness. And I basically my question is, how do you handle people that are like, because I think that you guys are more than just a band, like you make me want to question everything around me and all my surroundings. How do you guys handle like fanatic fans that are basically it's like, I mean, like Sarah. Yeah.

1:18:03🔗 Caller Well, I mean, I don't know.

1:18:05🔗 Caller Like it's weird because more than just your music, like I try to surround myself from everything from like Sir Art to Cool Gardens to Access of Justice. I mean, like, I don't know, like I want to breathe you guys. Like I don't understand. Like, how do you guys handle fans like this?

1:18:25🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I don't think that you're a freak. You're obviously very passionate about System of a Down, but you'll probably be passionate in anything you do in your life. You might just have that type of personality. And as long as you're taking positive from it, I don't think there's a problem with it. And I don't think you're a freak.

1:18:42🔗 Caller And I can relate with you. Oh, I know I said I can relate with you because when I was younger, I mean, until today, when I'm a fan of something, I'm really a fan of it. Like I can remember when I was a kid, I loved certain bands and I did everything and I got everything that the band had and really drowned myself in it. And being a fan is and it's not being a freak. It's being actually passionate and don't look down on it. Look positive and as you grow and as you do different things in life and have passion for them, you're going to succeed because it takes passion to succeed. So, you know, good for you.

1:19:19🔗 Adam Were you guys a fan of Rage Against the Machine's music statements, the whole vibe?

1:19:25🔗 Caller I appreciated what they did.

1:19:27🔗 Adam Still a fan.

1:19:27🔗 Caller Still a fan.

1:19:28🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Whether they're around or not as a band, you know, Rage Against the Machine and a million other bands.

1:19:34🔗 Drew Kevork, 16.

1:19:36🔗 Adam Tom.

1:19:36🔗 Caller Kevork.

1:19:37🔗 Adam Tom, a super smart guy, political.

1:19:39🔗 System of a Down with Stryker He was a big Lord of the Rings fan, actually.

1:19:41🔗 Adam Really?

1:19:41🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah. Me and him have seen two of them together.

1:19:44🔗 Adam Which is your favorite of the three? John.

1:19:47🔗 Caller John had another date.

1:19:49🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I don't look at them as separate. I look at it as one movie. Just as when I read the book, I look at it as one book.

1:19:54🔗 Adam Got it.

1:19:55🔗 Cool book.

1:19:55🔗 Adam Kevork.

1:19:56🔗 Caller Hello?

1:19:56🔗 Adam What's up?

1:19:57🔗 Caller Hello?

1:19:58🔗 Adam Alio. You're on Loveline. Speak.

1:20:01🔗 Caller Oh, sorry about that. Is this John and Serj?

1:20:06🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And Shavo.

1:20:07🔗 Caller My name is Kevork and I'm an Armenian, part of Inshbesteq.

1:20:12🔗 Caller And you?

1:20:13🔗 Caller I'm doing fine. I had a question. I just want to know about your history while you were growing up and how that shapes your songs. What hardship did you go through when you were growing up in this Armenian genocide? I really knew my parents were listening to you guys when you were talking just about a second ago. And we really appreciate all that you're doing and it really means a lot to us. You know, there are a few of us now but it really means a lot and I just want to know how your past, how your history while growing up and the hardship and what motif it puts into your songs.

1:20:44🔗 Caller Well, I wish, you know, Darren was here to explain that, you know, he does a lot of those songs. He does have a lot of passion and history and I mean, each one of us, you can ask each one of us the same question and we'll have different answers for you. And so, it'd be unfair to answer that question as an individual or as a unit, you know.

1:21:04🔗 System of a Down with Stryker One way of one way of explaining it is that all aspects of life are contained and enrich each song, whether Darren writes it, you know, Darren does write most of the songs, but some of the songs written by you guys, I'm sure your lives have inspired those songs.

1:21:21🔗 Caller True.

1:21:22🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And not necessarily just our heritage, but that also is a factor. I don't know if that answers your question.

1:21:29🔗 Caller But you know, I personally grew up in Hollywood and, you know, saw what everybody else saw in Hollywood, and Darren did too, and we all have different stories. I mean... We all have our stories. I mean, it's just life. Life influences art. And you know, I've heard that said a lot, and I believe in it.

1:21:45🔗 Adam Cool. We're rolling right along here. System of a Down. John, Shava, Serj doing a show April 24th, and let's talk to Jessie, who's 22. What's up, Jessie?

1:21:56🔗 Caller Um, in the past, I cheated on the boyfriend that I've been with for almost a year now. And like, we've stayed together and we've been together for a while, and I mean, it's like, he says that he trusts me on everything, but I know it's hard for him to deal with the fact that I have a child and I still talk to my child's dad, and I mean, I cheated on him with my kid's dad before. And basically, my question was, what can I do about that? Because, I mean, I still have to have communication with my child's dad. And, you know, in a sense, because my child's two years old.

1:22:35🔗 Drew Shav already answered this. You stopped cheating. Trust is built.

1:22:40🔗 Caller You can't stop people like you.

1:22:43🔗 Drew Trust is built. It's not granted.

1:22:44🔗 Caller Terrible.

1:22:45🔗 Drew You got to build it. It's going to take a long time. You've already violated it, so now we'll see how long it takes. He will either get over it or he won't, and if he does, it'll take a long time.

1:22:53🔗 Caller Well, what can I do in the meantime to...

1:22:55🔗 Drew Not cheat. That's it. Period.

1:22:57🔗 Caller Just, I mean, communicate with my kid's dad because, I mean, another problem is, like, he comes around but he doesn't, you know what I mean? And so, like, we still kind of have our agitated fights because he's not, you know, there for her like he should be with the child's dad.

1:23:13🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:23:13🔗 Caller And he's not there like he should be, you know? So, I mean, we still have our aggriated, like, you know, fights about it kind of, you know, but...

1:23:24🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Don't let that turn into sexual frustration. Obviously, your boyfriend or whoever you're seeing cares about you and he's putting up with a lot, you know? He's putting up with you cheating on him and he's still with you. I personally would never say it was someone that cheated on me, but that's me, you know? You're lucky to have someone that's understanding and maybe a little bit more adult than I am.

1:23:48🔗 Adam Good answer, John.

1:23:49🔗 Drew We gotta go to break. We do?

1:23:51🔗 Adam I thought we were doing a 44.

1:23:53🔗 Drew 40, 42, 41.

1:23:54🔗 Adam You want to do six real quick? Because I was just talking about Tom Morello. Let's get that real quick. Ah, Hamed.

1:24:01🔗 Caller Hey, hey guys. My question is for System, I want to know if you guys are going to do like a song or something musically with Tom Morello.

1:24:09🔗 Adam That's a good question. Something musically with Tom Morello, other than maybe stuff outside of music.

1:24:16🔗 Stryker Yeah, on the 31st we've got a show at the Troubadour for the Axis of Justice. It's a benefit show and Axis of Justice is an organization that Tom and myself have started a couple years back. It's a non-profit and we're going to end up jamming and doing some stuff. I think most of my band is going to be there and if not all and we're going to end up, we're not going to play a System set or anything but just do some really cool wacky stuff.

1:24:41🔗 Adam Is that going to be mostly acoustic or not?

1:24:45🔗 Stryker It's going to be a little bit of both.

1:24:47🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I hope not because otherwise you won't hear anything if I'm playing.

1:24:49🔗 Adam Because you're going to be killing them with the drums.

1:24:52🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And I don't know how to play quiet.

1:24:53🔗 Everything.

1:24:54🔗 Adam Nice.

1:24:54🔗 Caller All right.

1:24:55🔗 Adam Now we'll take a break but I wanted to get that in. That should be cool. All right. System of a Down is here. More Loveline after this. We're on the radio! What happened?

1:25:26🔗 Caller Alright, we're back on Love Line!

1:25:28🔗 Adam There's Shavo.

1:25:30🔗 Stryker And there's your point in life.

1:25:31🔗 Adam There's John. And where's Serj?

1:25:33🔗 Drew Did he play video games?

1:25:34🔗 Adam He didn't leave, did he?

1:25:35🔗 Caller Serj said, we forget this, man.

1:25:37🔗 Adam No, he didn't.

1:25:38🔗 System of a Down with Stryker He said, I'm Rick James, biatch.

1:25:39🔗 Drew Biatch.

1:25:41🔗 Adam That's a hundred dollar fine right there.

1:25:42🔗 Caller No, no, it's not.

1:25:43🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You know what? You can't say that?

1:25:44🔗 Caller You can't say that?

1:25:45🔗 Adam No, no, you can't.

1:25:46🔗 Caller You can say biatch.

1:25:46🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, you can, of course.

1:25:47🔗 Caller You can say, I'm Rick James, biatch. Hold my drink.

1:25:50🔗 Adam That's right, hold my drink.

1:25:51🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Samuel Adams won, though.

1:25:53🔗 Caller Samuel Jackson.

1:25:55🔗 Adam Samuel Adams.

1:25:55🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Look, we could talk for two hours just about the Chappelle Show.

1:25:58🔗 Caller You know who else I really...

1:25:59🔗 Adam Why do you guys get Dave Chappelle on here?

1:26:01🔗 Caller There's a great comedian, I don't know if you've heard him. David Cross, have you heard of that guy? Mr. Show?

1:26:05🔗 Adam Yes, oh yeah.

1:26:06🔗 Caller That guy is so great. I just got the DVDs and it's funny that John and I were on tour one day and we're in my room and we're watching HBO and it was the last skit. It was this, and we didn't know what it was. We didn't know the show or who it was or anything and it was this gay rock band, right? And it was like a metal band and they were gay and it was in this video. They were watching their party video and they were banging each other, but it was like they didn't realize they were gay, you know? And the record company kept going, dude, you guys are gay, you know? And he's like, no, we're not. What are you talking about? You know, they're hard rock metal and but all their videos, they're doing a hot tub together and whatever. They were called Wicked Scepter or something. Anyway, so I was driving the base of Bad Asset Trip home after a video filming, right? And then he's like, and he was, it was so funny because him and I are still talk about that. You know, like what show is that? We never knew. We never knew. And he goes, man, he goes, do you like comedy? I'm like, I love comedy. He goes, there's a show that's on DVD now. It's called Mr. Show. There's a skit. I mean, out of every skit out of the four seasons, he goes, there's a skit about this gay rock man. I go, hold on, what are they called? Wicked Scepter? He's like, yeah. So he goes, it was Mr. Show and I bought it. And I love it. I've heard David Cross on the radio. I didn't know his face. And then I've seen his face on movies and didn't know that David Cross was that guy after seeing that I went and bought his DVD. And he's just a really funny guy, man.

1:27:18🔗 Adam Do you want to maybe go out with them?

1:27:20🔗 Caller Yes, I'll date him. I am single now, guys. All you guys out there. My main catch would be a striker because, you know.

1:27:30🔗 Adam Thank you. We get along very well.

1:27:31🔗 Caller Of course we do.

1:27:31🔗 Caller Rick James, bitch.

1:27:33🔗 Adam All right, let's talk to Wade.

1:27:34🔗 Drew Eight dates.

1:27:35🔗 Adam Nineteen, line three. What's that?

1:27:37🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It takes two to get to the striker's plants.

1:27:39🔗 Caller Easy.

1:27:39🔗 Caller First date at my parents' house.

1:27:41🔗 Caller Little Linguini. All right.

1:27:42🔗 Adam What's up, Wade?

1:27:43🔗 Caller Hey, how's it going? Good. I'm in Federal Way. I'm actually originally from Alaska. And this problem, the pubic hair on my testicles is white. It's bizarre, man. And I don't know what to do about it.

1:28:03🔗 Caller How old are you?

1:28:04🔗 Caller I'm 19. I haven't had this.

1:28:06🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Go get some of that mustache bleach, whatever they do.

1:28:10🔗 Adam Get the spray paint one that they used to have on the TV. You spray paint your head.

1:28:15🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Get a flow-bee and shave it off.

1:28:16🔗 Drew Any medical illness, Wade?

1:28:20🔗 Caller No, I haven't been to a doctor since I was in middle school.

1:28:23🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Did you get really scared one day?

1:28:24🔗 Caller You should go to a doctor and get a checkup for anything.

1:28:27🔗 System of a Down with Stryker No, your ball hair turns white. I don't know. What happens? How does that happen?

1:28:30🔗 Adam Yeah, why does your ball hair turn white, Drew?

1:28:32🔗 Drew I'm not sure.

1:28:33🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You're a doctor, guy.

1:28:33🔗 Caller And Drew's a doctor and he's not sure.

1:28:35🔗 Drew That's not something I'm...

1:28:36🔗 Adam Is that one of those seven wonders of the world?

1:28:38🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Are they white or gray? Because there's a difference.

1:28:39🔗 Drew There's a sort of differential.

1:28:41🔗 Adam Let's go to line one. Travis, 16.

1:28:43🔗 Caller We forgot about the white ball hair guy.

1:28:45🔗 Adam Drew is running this board now. Look at him. He's so antsy. He wants to leave so bad.

1:28:49🔗 Caller He's tired.

1:28:50🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Drew already left. He's on phone.

1:28:53🔗 Adam What's up, Travis?

1:28:54🔗 Caller Hey. How are you? I love all you guys.

1:28:57🔗 Caller I love you too, man.

1:28:58🔗 Caller Thanks. All right, Drew. I got cracked. I read it. I bought it at the original price, like all the most expensive one. And I love your book. Thanks, man. System of a Down, I got all your CDs. I want to ask you guys, which CD do you think best describes your overall style?

1:29:22🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Well, all three of them pretty much are good reflections on our overall style.

1:29:27🔗 Caller You know what it is? It's the time when we did them and where we were. And the next one will be where we are. And we just grow from everyone. And there's not one that describes us. It just, each one is us at that time, I guess, right?

1:29:41🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You're gonna forget your ring there, by the way.

1:29:43🔗 Caller No, I'm not, it was too heavy.

1:29:44🔗 Adam Remember you were wearing that at NoBoof?

1:29:47🔗 Caller Yes, I was.

1:29:48🔗 Adam And that, the cook, the guy asked you about it.

1:29:51🔗 Caller He's like, what's with that? Anyway, but yeah, I mean, we don't, I can't say, oh yeah, System of a Down best describes us. The first album, you know, I can't do that. No one can. Where we are in the present describes us.

1:30:03🔗 Adam Do you have a favorite song to play or sing? That just gets you crazy, excited.

1:30:10🔗 Caller Needles, for me, I get off on that.

1:30:14🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Our new stuff?

1:30:15🔗 Caller Yeah, the new stuff. We played our, should I even say it?

1:30:17🔗 Adam No, no, no, no, you better not.

1:30:19🔗 Caller The new stuff is disturbing for me.

1:30:21🔗 System of a Down with Stryker It's very exciting to play though.

1:30:23🔗 Drew It's disturbing.

1:30:25🔗 Caller In a very positive way.

1:30:26🔗 System of a Down with Stryker He's positively disturbed and his, actually his testicles turned white.

1:30:32🔗 Drew Oscar. The actual testicles themselves.

1:30:33🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Yeah, not even the hair. The hair's still pitch black.

1:30:37🔗 Caller I'm just really happy with the new material that's on.

1:30:40🔗 Adam What's up, Oscar?

1:30:42🔗 Caller Oh, hello? Hello?

1:30:44🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:30:45🔗 Caller Oh, hey, how's it going? Yeah, I'm kind of sick right now.

1:30:51🔗 Caller No, listen.

1:30:51🔗 Adam You just ragged out a shovel or something.

1:30:53🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Hey, hey, that's a personal joke has nothing to do with you.

1:30:55🔗 Caller That was about somebody else not.

1:30:58🔗 Adam Sorry, John.

1:30:59🔗 Caller He's probably not listening so hello.

1:31:01🔗 Caller Anyhow, yeah, so my question is I got a problem and I don't know what it stems from, but basically I've been with my girlfriend for about a year and a half. And the issue is every time she speaks about, you know, going on a break or breaking up or something like that, I get really tense and nervous and like, you know, I don't know, I just kind of like, I can't really relax and I'm all anxious. But at points when I'm considering it, to me it's like no big deal. I think about it in my head and I'm like, yeah, you know what, whatever. Like, it's not working out for me. Maybe we should just call in a break or something and I'll fine with it. But when it's her taking a position, taking a stand, I get like really tense and I'm like nervous.

1:31:43🔗 Adam Since you're not in control. Since you're not in control, yeah, exactly.

1:31:46🔗 Caller But does that stand from anything? I mean, I'm.

1:31:48🔗 Drew No, no, no, it's normal.

1:31:49🔗 Caller It's a human thing.

1:31:51🔗 Caller Cause I have had like a.

1:31:52🔗 System of a Down with Stryker If it makes you feel better, that's how I felt when I was breaking up with my girlfriend.

1:31:56🔗 Drew Yeah, when you.

1:31:56🔗 System of a Down with Stryker When I was the one instigating the breakup, I felt much more comfortable with it than when she.

1:32:02🔗 Drew It's very different having somebody leave you than you deciding you don't want to be with them. It's a very different time feeling. Definitely.

1:32:09🔗 System of a Down with Stryker You're right, Oscar.

1:32:11🔗 Drew He's fine.

1:32:11🔗 System of a Down with Stryker Is Oscar still there?

1:32:12🔗 Drew No, he's gone. But time is up for the evening.

1:32:14🔗 Adam It is, we're done for the evening.

1:32:16🔗 Drew No way.

1:32:16🔗 Adam You've never been happier now, Drew.

1:32:18🔗 Drew No, I'm not happy.

1:32:18🔗 Caller You don't like us, Drew, what's wrong?

1:32:20🔗 Adam What's happening?

1:32:21🔗 Caller You always enjoy us.

1:32:22🔗 Drew I can't say the words anymore, I'd like to say.

1:32:25🔗 Caller We still have four minutes, guys.

1:32:26🔗 Drew Make the man feel bad.

1:32:28🔗 Adam No, no, no, no.

1:32:32🔗 System of a Down with Stryker I personally feel terrible.

1:32:33🔗 Caller No, no, I'm hurt right now. Okay, Stryker just kissed Drew on the lips.

1:32:39🔗 System of a Down with Stryker And now he's moving his way down his chest.

1:32:42🔗 Adam For the record. For the record, it's true. This guy is, I beyond enjoy working with Drew and talking to him and he makes me feel so comfortable and this is not a super easy thing to do.

1:32:52🔗 Drew Stryker, I've had a couple of good days here, we really have.

1:32:55🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:32:55🔗 Drew I have you guys, half of it. Part of it.

1:32:57🔗 Stryker But the knowledge that you've imparted when we listen to the show and helping people, it's badass.

1:33:03🔗 Caller Well, if he wasn't around, this would be a comedy show.

1:33:06🔗 Drew And tonight, I was enlightened by Shavo's invitation of Adam Corolla, that was a great moment. That was great. Don't worry.

1:33:17🔗 Caller It's on tape.

1:33:18🔗 Adam All right, now we really have to do a break or we're gonna get yelled at by somebody. I don't know who, because we don't make our own laws anymore, you bastards. Okay, more Loveline and we'll wrap up with System of a Down after this.

1:33:31🔗 All right, guys, here's the deal.

1:33:32🔗 Caller Look in the hookup, call the Dateline.

1:33:34🔗 Stick a waste in time with the wrong person.

1:33:36🔗 Caller Call the Dateline.

1:33:37🔗 One call is all you need to make.

1:33:38🔗 Caller Call the Dateline.

1:33:39🔗 One, eight, seven, seven, eight, eight, nine. Date.

1:33:44🔗 Caller You know what I'm saying, I'm dead?

1:33:46🔗 Caller Adam and Dr. Drew will be right back on Loveline.

1:34:12🔗 Adam Now, it's Stryker and Dr. Drew, System of a Down. Man, thank you so much. Hanging out the whole time. You guys educated myself. Probably educated Dr. Drew a lot because he needs a lot of help. But helping the kids, it was awesome. The show is April 24th at the Greek. It sold out so fast. It's the Souls Benefit Concert, benefiting the Armenian genocide. And is there any last things that you guys would like to say about it? And if you could do it more on the quick end than that, it would help us all out. But I would love for you to get the last word in on this.

1:34:41🔗 Stryker Thank you for letting us do this. And we appreciate everyone's support, not on just this cause, but every fan that, you know.

1:34:48🔗 Drew Let's see everybody on April 24th.

1:34:50🔗 Stryker Yeah.

1:34:51🔗 Adam That's it. All right. So for Dr. Drew, I am Stryker. I am not going to say that because he's gone. Yes, Shama?

1:34:56🔗 Caller Coming back. Good night.

1:35:06🔗 This has been Loveline.

1:35:07🔗 Drew Loveline.

1:35:09🔗 Caller The opinions expressed in this show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors, or this station. The producer for Loveline is Ann Ingold. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
