0:54🔗VoiceoverLoveline may contain sexually oriented content. I'm Adam.
1:05🔗AdamDr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-A-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, and we'll welcome back to the show, master drummer, Matt Sorum from Velvet Revolver.
1:20🔗AdamMatt has been in here representing the cult, I think maybe Guns N Roses.
1:27🔗Velvet RevolverI came down here once with Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols. And John Taylor. We had a band called Neurotic Outsiders. Wow, a long time ago.
1:51🔗Velvet RevolverYeah, I kept busy. I've been a very lucky guy.
1:55🔗AdamIt seems like Matt had a turnaround at some point, gotten a mountain bike riding and taken multiple vitamins or something. And it's probably worked out.
2:04🔗Velvet RevolverI don't do the mountain bike thing, but I do the vitamins. And we'll talk about that later because I have some vitamins for people out there that are keeping active in different areas of their lives.
2:14🔗AdamWell, you made some, I thought you were riding mountain bikes.
2:20🔗Velvet RevolverThat's Duff, that's Duff, my bass player. He's like, you know, he's a black belt in karate now. And, you know, he got off the drugs and he's into martial arts and he's around mountain bikes and, you know, climbing the Andes and whatever else he's doing.
2:33🔗AdamThat's the problem with people who get off drugs. They get on to everything else, including my nerves, Drew. I like the better when they're on to drugs. Like now they're into everything. He's like, come on, we're going parasailing.
2:42🔗Velvet RevolverYeah, he's up way too early. I still sleep in. Duff gets up at like, you know, 5 a.m. and, you know, runs 15 miles. And then he's, you know, then he goes kickboxing and I don't get it.
2:53🔗AdamSo of Velvet Revolver, you got you and you got Slash and you got Duff. And obviously you Axel is gone. It's like, was Axel the troubled part of Guns N Roses, as far as you know?
3:08🔗DrewI mean, I mean, what I mean is, We've seen Slash drop lit cigarettes into his boot and not move.
3:18🔗Velvet RevolverYou know, they kept us pretty liquored up through the whole thing. I mean, the idea was keep the band inebriated and they won't mind. But at one point we were kind of like, Hey, we're missing out here. This is an especially when we're trying to make this album that still hasn't come out, the Chinese democracy of sorts or whatever it's called. We basically spent like four years hanging around a room trying to record an album that never got done. So we all said, Hey, we got to figure out what we're doing here. And I discovered again that I'm a musician when got back with the cult. And then this time, after all that happened, about four or five years went by, put this Velvet Revolver thing together.
4:00🔗AdamSo Axl Rose is like impossible to work with. Would you say that?
4:07🔗AdamI don't mean impossible. Like, well, he's such an a-hole or such a maniac. I just mean, there's some guys that become like Howard Hughes or something. It's just at a certain point, you just can't, you couldn't work with them. They might be able to work or do something, but I just mean you couldn't work with them.
4:23🔗Velvet RevolverWell, you know, when it was great, it was great. I mean, we would do shows, you know, we'd be playing, you know, all over the world doing stadiums and arenas all over the world. But, you know, we'd wait an hour or two hours to get on stage. And, you know, it was a drag. But once we get up there, you know, some of the gigs were unbelievable. And people would walk away going, oh, my God, that was the best rock show I've ever seen. So it's kind of like, you know, it's the it's the deal that goes with being a lead singer, I guess. I mean, it seems to me that all the good ones are a little bit on the edge. It seems like, I don't know. I mean, the great ones, Jim Morrison, you know, you know, some of the greatest rock performers of all time. I mean, yeah, you know, it's a drag. Half of them are dead. But it's like, yeah, seems like there's a lot that goes with having that thing that makes rock and roll.
5:08🔗AdamSpeaking of that, what's going on with Scott Weiland?
5:10🔗Velvet RevolverScott's doing great, man. He's doing great. We just went out on about an eight week tour. He had a six month deal with the courts and he fulfilled his commitment.
5:22🔗AdamHe seems skinny. I don't want to, you know, cast the aspersions, but he looks like he's...
5:28🔗Velvet RevolverHe's got that heroin look, but let me tell you what it is. He doesn't eat.
5:32🔗AdamBecause he's doing heroin or he just doesn't eat because he's not on the ground?
5:36🔗Velvet RevolverTrust me, if Scott was on heroin, he wouldn't be on stage. I mean, not with us, no.
5:41🔗Velvet RevolverNo, he wouldn't be able to perform like he does.
5:43🔗AdamOkay, because Drew's got a puss on. I got to tell you, I know Drew. You know, it's a sensitive subject and you got your laws and your rules and stuff. Stop talking so much, Drew, you're making me nervous. But you know what I'm saying, I don't know anything. All I know is Scott Weiland looks like a guy who's back on with the drop.
6:05🔗Velvet RevolverYou know what, he's in the gym every day.
6:07🔗AdamI'm not saying he acts like it, he doesn't sing like it, he doesn't sound like it, he just looks like it.
6:13🔗Velvet RevolverHey, but all those skinny front men, man, they have that look. Look at Iggy Pop. Come on, Iggy Pop's skinny, just drinks like six diet Pepsi's before he goes on stage. He doesn't do drugs anymore. Egg whites or whatever they do. Look at Dave Navarro. I'm backing Scott.
6:33🔗AdamI know we're all fans, there's no doubt about it. That's why we're talking about it. So, Velvet Revolver, we'll hear something off the new CD in just a couple of few. We'll get to the phones and speak to Christy, who's 23. Christy? What's happening? Let me tell you the other thing about Scott Weiland, too. Scott Weiland, a lot of people don't really know this, is a really great front man. I mean, you don't hear about it, I don't know, SDP was a good band and he sounded good and the songs were good and stuff. But if you see him perform, you realize he's a great front man for a band. He's a great guy to have up there as a lead singer. Not just he has a charisma, he has a stage presence that I'm not so sure. A lot of guys in the kind of bands that he was in before don't have. You know what I'm saying?
7:28🔗Velvet RevolverWell, we were looking, you know, Slash and Duff and myself got back together and we looked for almost a year and a half for a lead singer and what we realized is there isn't any out there.
7:40🔗AdamHave you seen though, I mean, you probably caught some SDP shows back in the day and probably remembered that Scott Weiland was pretty good.
7:49🔗Velvet RevolverWell, we did. We had an idea, but we knew what we were kind of getting ourselves in for being as, you know, we kind of wanted things to run a little bit smoother than our previous band. So, you know, we really, when we went into this whole thing, we were like, okay, we know what we're getting into. We know what kind of character he is, but we're, you know, we're very supportive of him and we've all been there. You know, I was an alcoholic, cocaine, snorting party guy for years and, you know, I got through it and I'm, I'm cleaned up now and I'm living life healthy and Duff McKagan, same guy. Oh, yeah. Slash shot some speed balls in his day, you know, and heroin and everything else. And now he's got two kids and throws back a couple of Guinness in there. But, you know, he's off the hard stuff. And, you know, so we're kind of like, hey, man, if we can pull that out, if we can do it, he can do it. I am a poster child for a guy. If I can do it, anybody can get caught.
8:48🔗AdamWell, how many years of sobriety do you have now?
8:51🔗Velvet RevolverSeptember will be six years I haven't had any drugs or alcohol. Yeah, yeah. But that night, that last night, let me tell you, that last night was a lot of fun, as much as I can remember.
9:04🔗AdamLet's talk to Christy. Was I speaking to Christy before? Christy. You're 23. What's up?
9:10🔗CallerI am 23. And by the way, I love Velvet Revolver. Big fan. I keep getting spoon fed all these sweet, like, emotions and guys telling me, I guess, basically what I want to hear. And I never seem to find the right one. It's like they put on all this, I guess you could say a front. And, you know, a couple of days later, after I start responding to it and making sure that they're making the first move, it's like, oh, wait, I don't want that.
10:21🔗Velvet RevolverHey, you know what I know about the Illinois side? When you go over the bridge there from St. Louis, that's where all the good strip bars are.
10:27🔗Velvet RevolverYeah. On the other side. That's true, right? I'm right.
10:35🔗DrewWhat Adam's asking is, do you meet these guys at work or through friends at school?
10:40🔗CallerI've met one at work and some are through mutual friends and some are just people that... I go to college, so some of them have been from college.
10:49🔗DrewAnd you actually go on a dinner. Who cares?
10:52🔗AdamIt's just luck. She's 23. She's going through that thing that everyone goes through. You meet, you have a couple of bad... Yeah, actually, probably a good thing to have a couple of bad dates, a couple of bad relationships, a couple of bad outings. True. And everything, you know what I mean?
11:08🔗AdamYeah, you dump somebody, they dump you, somebody cheats on you, you bust somebody, they bust you a little this and a little that, a couple of bad first dates before you know it, you're married and you have something to go off of. I think people that marry, like the chick they met in the ninth grade, always have it in the back of their head of, whoa, wait a minute, I don't even know what it's like to be with somebody else. I mean, you need to know, Drew, you've been with a lot of crazy broads, Drew, I mean, hundreds, hundreds of crazy broads to know, to know that the crazy broad that you married was the right choice, right? I mean, you know your wife, you've been through it, enough candy stripers, not to mention, I mean, there's the staff at your office, I mean, it just keeps going, it just keeps the bae, the poor guy.
11:59🔗AdamDrew has three kids, three kids and a lovely wife, but the point is, is he didn't marry the first lady, dip the wick in, that's all I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
12:27🔗Velvet RevolverI got married for a year. What happened? And it was, you know, I was still doing drugs and drinking, you know, drugs and drinking and being married just doesn't mix.
12:35🔗AdamYeah, because here's the thing, really, if you think about it. It takes all your energy not to F up as a guy in a relationship. As a male. As a male. It's almost like driving a big rig that if you start getting loaded, you're going to jackknife immediately. Like, I'm just saying, I'm serious. As a guy, you know, not to cheat, not to say stupid stuff to your wife, not to spack her a little bit once in a while, to pay attention, to not try to screw her friends, all this stuff you can't do. You have to be sober and focused to do that.
13:11🔗Velvet RevolverIf you're drinking and doing drugs, other things start coming in.
13:14🔗AdamA couple rails of blow, a few heinies and you're out on the road. You go in a direction that you would easily go. You want to go that direction anyway.
13:24🔗Velvet RevolverYou end up in Vegas usually. Then it's just bad. That's right.
13:28🔗AdamAnd even though they say what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas, oftentimes other people leave and tell your wife what you did.
13:59🔗Velvet RevolverOh, no, they loved to. That's right. It was before the Internet.
14:02🔗AdamI'm sorry you have to hear it from me, but did you know what went on at the Bachelor party? Well, I mean, well, first off, you would have thought Matt was the Bachelor the way he carried on.
14:11🔗Velvet RevolverNo, you know what it was with my old lady, like living in Hollywood, right? Like everyone calls everybody. If you like have any sort of celebrity, everybody knows everything about you and they want to talk about it. So it's like I get home, got the wife, I get home about 6 a.m. I was at the studio with the band, honey. Actually, no, you weren't. You stopped by the body shop on the sunset. Then you went to Crazy Girls. Then you're at this party at 12304, right, that drive with some chick. And her name was Lisa.
14:42🔗AdamIf a guy found this information out, he wouldn't report it back to his friend. He would try to get in on it. He would try to capitalize. Do you know what I'm saying? If you swapped it around, like let's say, I found out that so-and-so's wife was out making the rounds. I wouldn't be like, I got to go tip him off. I'd be like, I got to get in on some of that now. I mean, that's how guys think. Guys are like, what's in it for me? Girls are like, I'll tell you what's in it for me. I get to make you feel like ass. That's what's in it for me. I thought you should know. Listen, I'm only telling you this because I love you. You know I love you and I love Matt, but other people love Matt too. They love him. They give him like an oral love job. Anyway, I just thought you should know. I really thought you should know. Oh, if you knew what went on at that bachelor party, do you want to know? I thought you should know. I think you should know. It's best that you know. So you guys can get divorced.
15:37🔗Velvet RevolverYou know, when I got married, see, that's the problem. When I got married, my wife didn't let me have a bachelor party. You know what she said to me? She said, your whole life has been a bachelor party. You're going to have a bachelor party.
15:48🔗AdamShe should have let you in. She should have purged you. Chris?
15:57🔗CallerI just wanted to say, man, you guys are my favorite people in the world. I listen to you all the time.
16:02🔗DrewI'm coming to Phoenix next week. I'm going to Phoenix on Friday.
16:07🔗AdamYeah. He's calling from Phoenix, everybody. When Drew says that, it's because he's...
16:12🔗CallerI was just wondering, Adam first, I just want to know, you guys talk to yourself all the time. I was just wondering, how come, I mean, we sit on hold forever. And I was just wondering why you can't go in the corner and jack up and get a little of that frustration out.
16:30🔗AdamHey, Drew's coming out to Phoenix next week.
16:51🔗AdamListen, everybody, I don't mind a critique of the show. I don't mind a prank phone call. I don't mind some chop-bots. I don't mind any of it.
17:01🔗AdamYeah, here's the whole thing. If you want to do a practical joke, do a practical joke, but don't walk up to some guy and go... Boo! No, just walk up and smack him in the back and have the ball peen hammer. It's not like it's a practical joke. Do something funny. Anyway, Drew, he's out in Phoenix.
17:20🔗DrewI'll visit him. I'll get his address from...
17:25🔗AdamBy the way, if you think you're insulting me by telling me to go in the corner and beat off...
18:15🔗AdamNo. Drew, you look at the schedule. Now, the schedule, I've seen the junior college schedules. They just have pictures. They don't have words because a lot of the people that go there, they don't read real good, but they'll have a smiley face if it's good.
18:30🔗DrewMr. Sick Man at the Blackboard doing the arithmetic.
18:32🔗AdamRight. Well, that's what it would be. Like math, they'll just, math will just have a picture of a calculator. Oh, okay. It won't have words there. And history is a picture of a...
18:45🔗AdamWell, it's going to say globe, but it's actually flat with a ship sailing off the edge of it. We haven't really got the... Perfect. They don't got globes yet over there. All right. Oh, no. We're going to hear a song. That's right. That's right. You crewed up there?
18:57🔗AdamA little something from Matt Sorum, by the way, is here tonight from Velvet Revolver. We'll hear a little something off that. And this song is called Slither. Yeah, a little Velvet Revolver for you, Matt Sorum. Super drummer.
23:16🔗AdamDrummer of the Stars is here tonight representing. We will take ourselves a little bit of a break. We'll hear something else from Velvet Revolver in the second hour. And when we come back, Amy, yes Drew, who do you want to talk to? Sex addict, Mark, Virgin.
23:35🔗AdamHere's a Virgin, Courtney the Virgin. Folks don't believe her. When I put her on the birth control pill, your folks don't believe you're Virgin. Courtney?
23:56🔗AdamThe exact opposite. Dad, I'm 33. I'm getting laid now. Please son. Who are you kidding? You're Corolla. Yeah, but dad, I'm on MTV. You're Corolla first. Corollas don't get laid. Now focus.
24:10🔗Velvet RevolverYeah, but dad, I'm on MTV. That's for sure.
24:14🔗AdamLet's take a little break. Matt Sorum here tonight. We'll be right back after this. Check this out.
25:18🔗Velvet RevolverYou know, the other Drew Barrymore.
25:20🔗AdamSpells the name Dramond. It's Dramond, yeah. Yeah, those are Drew and Drew. Okay, here's a good question. The two, you know, there's the chick version and the dude version of a lot of names. Drew and Drew, same, right?
25:34🔗DrewSpelling-wise, yeah. Yeah. Chris and Chris.
25:44🔗Velvet RevolverI've heard chicks named Sam. I like chicks named Sam, but that would be Samantha, but then the guy's version is just Sam.
25:49🔗AdamAny chick with a dude name is always a good thing, or goes terribly wrong, but there's a better chance of not, it's a good thing. All right, so here's the question then, Drew and Matt. Are there more, now are there more, you know, spelled the same names, the ambiguous names, or unisex names are the ones that are spelled differently?
26:10🔗DrewI think there's more kind of spelled the same, basically.
26:12🔗AdamYou're probably right. Yeah, I thought it was a really crappy point I brought up.
26:16🔗DrewThank you for the waste of one more time. Now we're gonna go to Sean, which is generally spelled differently.
26:22🔗AdamYeah. Ah. Yes, very interesting. But we're not gonna go to Sean, we're gonna go to Courtney. No, we're going to Sean because I gotta make my point. Sean? You're, hold on, Sean, you're a dude? Get out of my face.
26:35🔗DrewWell, wait a minute, maybe that's how Brian spelled it.
27:04🔗Well, my parents were gone for Friday and Saturday and me and my friends decided to go out, but like there wasn't anything going on, so we didn't do anything. And my parents found out and I got in big trouble. And then they started screaming at me that I'm not a Virgin anymore. They wanna put me on the pill and I have no reason to go on the pill.
27:24🔗AdamWell, wait a minute, just because you came home late?
27:51🔗AdamYeah, yeah, she did take, yeah, it's right there. Courtney. I'm gonna need you to take a number two pencil and jam it into your ear so you can pop that membrane that keeps all the information from getting into your head. Now, thank you. Now, here's what we need. What were you doing?
28:08🔗DrewInstead, other than being at your friend's home, where were you and what were you doing?
28:12🔗CallerWell, we were behind the Western Express just talking. Like we were trying to find somewhere to go get drunk.
28:41🔗AdamMaybe more. Yeah. We're not out in Corvallis? No.
28:46🔗DrewWe might not know where the Western Express or what the hell this is.
28:49🔗AdamWestern Express. All right. Well, listen. All I know is every time I drive in from New York, right from JFK to Manhattan, I pass the Gaseteria. And I think to myself, that is a great name for a gas station. And why can't we have one out here?
29:07🔗AdamIf we had a Gaseteria out here, I would drive out of it. Like if I was in the Valley and on E, I would drive over the hill to get to the Gaseteria out on like Pico and Venice or something, just to say I was seen at the Gaseteria. All right. So you're sitting behind the gas station.
29:24🔗DrewAnyway, your parents knew you were up to no good.
29:25🔗AdamSomehow they're hanging out with your friends.
29:27🔗DrewThey figure this problem and being on the birth control pill may be just sort of an overreaction they're having to the whole situation that maybe the virgin issue is sort of a manner of symbolic virginity that you've sort of shown them that you're no longer chaste and that you're into things that they don't approve of. And oh, by the way, we're going to be sure you're protected if that's the way it's going to be.
29:47🔗Velvet RevolverYou're three friends, were they guys, girls? What were they? All girls.
29:52🔗DrewBut not an irrational thing to sort of want you on the, and I'm glad they're talking about the birth. There's a flip side to this. A, they're doing their job as parenting. They're involved in your life, maybe a little bit over involved. They're talking about the birth control, and I'll be at, they're not sort of presenting it in a way that makes it sort of useful to you, but at least they're on board. Courtney, I think more than anything, it's just you don't like the fact that they're coming down on you. That's what's most unpleasant. Forget how they're coming down on you.
30:18🔗AdamWell, and that they don't believe you, except for you're angry at them for not believing you about being a virgin when you just get them lying to them about some other activity.
30:55🔗AdamI don't think, and they're just threatening. They're not gonna make you take the pill. And I don't, by the way, I don't think legally parents could make a kid take a pill. Do you think they could? I don't think they could. I mean, even if the kid's a minor, I don't think they could do that.
31:10🔗DrewYou can make them take treatments, yeah.
31:11🔗AdamYou make them take treatments, but I think you could argue that this is not a treatment, it's a prevention.
31:18🔗DrewIf they need psychiatric care or whatever, they could require them to take things.
31:21🔗Velvet RevolverWell, I think a girl being 16, parents are probably starting to think, hey, you know, she's gonna be getting up to some mischief soon.
31:27🔗AdamI'm hip. Maybe she just really has bad skin and her parents think she's gonna clear it up.
31:31🔗DrewYou know, a 14-year-old gets an ammonia, says, I don't wanna take the antibiotics. Well, they're not in an age- The same kind of thing. They're in harm's way, they're not in a position to make judgments like that.
31:41🔗AdamYeah, but I would guess you would have to prove that the person was in harm's way. I mean, if you wanted just to sort of go through the court system, her being a virgin is not a great case for the parents forcing her to take the pill. You know what I mean? If she'd had eight abortions and was going to lose her uterus, then I think you got a pretty good argument for forcing your minor to take the pill.
32:06🔗Velvet RevolverDon't you think they're just reacting to her lying to them and they're thinking, hey, you know, she's lying to us, so she must be getting laid.
32:15🔗AdamAnd here's the thing too, they're just threatening her. They're not going to go do it. Unless you do what my dad did with my sister, which is you crush it up and put it in her food.
32:28🔗AdamYou get like when you want to get your dog, you can take it out of cereal or.
32:31🔗DrewApplesauce. Does he feed it, the spoon it in still? He would do it.
32:36🔗AdamHe would do it in strain peas. Cause he had her on it, had her on about three or four. But she was really young. Cause North Hollywood's a little dicey. And a lot of girls lose their virginity, five or six over there. Yeah, so he had her on that. And then later on, he just started working it into solid foods, hash browns, things like that. He would crush it into a fine powder. I would see him every morning with the mortar and pestle. It just crushing up the birth control pills and evenly weighing them and then putting them into the.
33:04🔗Velvet RevolverWell, who came down on you more, Courtney? Your dad or your mom?
33:11🔗AdamWho came down more, your mom or your dad?
33:15🔗DrewIs there alcohols in your family somewhere?
33:17🔗CallerNo, but I know my dad, the real big pothead.
33:20🔗DrewYeah, because I just get, I get that they see a problem. They know there could be a problem. They're freaking out.
33:26🔗AdamAll right, so here's the thing. Don't freak on your parents. They're just lying. They're not going to make you take this pill. Meanwhile, try not to get busted, all right? And look, that whole thing where I'm at, I'm at, I'm at. Your parents would pick up the phone and call where you're at. You got to say stuff like camping. First, I'm making noise. You got to say, you got to say like you're in the wilderness. You can't say, I'm going to be over at Jenny's house and Jenny says, I'm going to be over at Sherry's house. And then Jenny and Sherry's parents pick up the phone and call each other. You're not there. You can't do that.
33:53🔗DrewI'm putting a chip in my kids and just using a GPS system, that's it.
33:57🔗AdamHe didn't have to do that, Drew. You just, here's what you've got to do, Drew. Again, you just got to fool your kids. What you do, just get a nice clean hypodermic needle from your office, right? It's sterilized in the package and everything. You just tell your kid, look, I got the chip. It's in this needle right here. You stab in the arm with it, they're like, ow! Okay, now I know where you are. That's it.
34:18🔗Velvet RevolverThey have those for kids now, I've heard.
34:27🔗AdamThe chip knows when you're smoking pot. The chip knows when you're getting a handy. The chip knows when you're giving a handy. You just got girls and boys. The chip knows when you're not staying. The chip knows everything. You just stand with that thing, they feel the break.
34:40🔗Velvet RevolverHow much of that are they doing now with the chips? Very little, very little.
35:00🔗Velvet RevolverIn case he got lost or kidnapped or something.
35:03🔗AdamKidnapped, yeah, there's so much kidnapping going on over there. And again, wonderful people, you can't judge.
35:09🔗DrewYou can't judge the culture, you can't judge the culture.
35:12🔗AdamEverything's the same, everything's the same. All cultures are great, they're all beautiful. They just have a problem with kidnapping over there. And like they do in a lot of these land cultures, they like kidnapping, that's their thing, we can't judge.
35:27🔗DrewI was at dinner the other night and somebody said to me, goes, that's just a business in Mexico, just a business. Everyone accepted, just a way of doing business. You pay your money, get your person back, it's just business.
35:37🔗AdamNo, we, for instance, we have textile mills. They kidnap and torture officials.
35:48🔗Velvet RevolverAnd we landed, we landed, and we both guys, each guy in the band had two security guys. And we get to the hotel and there was a tank and guys with machine guns. And I was like, why are all those guys out in front with machine guns and that tank's there? And our manager's like, they're here to protect you guys. And we're like, from what?
36:11🔗DrewI was in Cartagena with a group of businessmen and we had three or 4,000 machine gun guards and the Coast Guard cruising around. And we had to protect 500 businessmen.
36:20🔗AdamOh, listen, Columbia- Let me tell you something about Columbia. Columbia's the nastiest place on earth. It is the meanest people in the world.
36:28🔗Velvet RevolverThe cocaine is very cheap though, $7 a gram.
36:46🔗Velvet RevolverIt's all happening down there.
36:47🔗AdamGotta get out of that way. Yeah, it's a crazy culture over there. It's tough. Like Roberto Duran is a Colombian, considered a pussy, by the way. The biggest pussy for me.
36:59🔗DrewThat country's got a tremendous history.
37:01🔗AdamGreat. But again, here's all I'm saying.
37:11🔗AdamYep, yep. And by the way, if you do about 20 bucks worth of Coke over there, like two and a half grams, everyone looks good. Penis doesn't work. Everything looks great. No, they do. Here's what they say about Colombia. You know what they do? They say, not me, not the white, not the round guy, not the white man. They say, it's a beautiful, beautiful country in mean, mean, mean people.
37:34🔗AdamNo, we can't judge. We cannot judge. It's just, there's a good chance you get killed if you go over there. That's all. That's all. They were just, during the whole drug thing, they were just killing everyone every day, every day, all the time. No, I mean, it's great. That's great. No, it's great. We can't judge. It's, everything's the same. There's no difference.
37:52🔗DrewYou know, here's the, I always say, we had guys with machine guns surrounding us all the time, like hundreds and hundreds. And I thought to myself, all the drug cartels do is pay off one of these guys. They pay off one of these guys, he turns his gun on everybody. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
38:06🔗AdamWell, they don't want to slaughter you. They want to get you out of there and then sell you back. But I mean, I mean.
38:13🔗AdamDuring the whole, during the whole drug, oh, I mean, first off, I know we're going all over the place. Pablo Escobar, crazy stuff going on over there. There was a documentary called Killing Pablo. It's a crazy single world. It's like he wanted to get rid of an official. He put one of his guys on a commercial commercial flight. By the way, he just told his guys, this is one of his close guys like, hey, I want you to take this suitcase with you on your flight out, out, out to Costa Rica. Here you go. 150 people on a commercial flight took, took down the plane. The official wasn't even on the plane. He knew there was, this just a commercial flight with 150 citizens on it and one of his lieutenants, hey buddy, just take this suitcase on this flight. Would you buy it? The, the dignitary that he was trying to take down ended up not taking the flight. It took all commercial jetliner down and his, and his buddy, no problems.
39:10🔗AdamWell, again, we can't judge. It's the cultural thing. That's what they do. They take down commercial airliners over there and it's their beautiful people. We can't judge. But I'm just saying, oh, you get in a whole Pablo Escobar thing over there. Crazy violence, crazy violence. We'll take ourselves a little break.
39:30🔗AdamFill the revolver, everybody. Well, listen, they've done some drugs in that band in their day.
39:34🔗Velvet RevolverWe'll probably go back to Bogota, Colombia, too.
39:36🔗DrewSo you're saying these guys support terrorism, are you suggesting?
39:38🔗AdamThey support terrorism. Well, no, no, because let me explain how you support terrorism. You support terrorism by funding these groups that make money off of the drugs, where, with the huge markup, you know, I'm paying a hundred bucks a gram, sometimes more depending, you know, the ones around the, you know, New York, Manhattan. Matt and the boys, they go straight to Colombia, get their stuff.
40:02🔗Velvet RevolverActually, I think the guys that were promoting the gig were all cartel drug dealers, actually.
40:07🔗AdamThe profit is cut out. They take out the middle man, and that's where the profit is. Whatever.
40:12🔗Velvet RevolverHey, we're just down there trying to rock the people, man.
41:02🔗AdamPhone number, 1-800-LOVE-191. Matt Sorum is here tonight from Velvet Revolver. They're gonna be playing, let's see, Saturday. They're gonna be at Club Largo, and then Sunday, they're gonna be in Bogota, Columbia, actually playing a soccer venue. So, yeah, we will hear something from Velvet Revolver before the night is true. I think we'll hear something else in the 11 o'clock hour, and we'll get back to the phones, and we'll, let me ask you about, oh boy, let me ask you about Slash, by the way. I really like Slash. Actually, Slash and Duff are both what I would call sweet guys. They're nice, they're good, you know, like, there's guys.
41:49🔗DrewWe're talking about Dog. I know he's going there.
41:52🔗AdamNo, they're guys, the guys out there that are nice guys, that are pleasant guys.
42:04🔗AdamHe's not, he's not a smart, he's not a water dog. If he went to a pool, he'd drown. I think his hair would get wet, take him right down to the bottom.
42:11🔗Velvet RevolverBut his hair is actually wet, it's down to his ankles.
42:24🔗Velvet RevolverThis groovy hypnotist guy that's out here in LA. He's got like 500 people on the waiting list. And he went in there three times, guy scared him to death, showed him pictures of livers and lungs ridden with soot.
42:38🔗Velvet RevolverAnd he came back like the poster child and I didn't even notice it first. We were rehearsing and he was smoking like three packs of cigarettes a day. I mean, from when he would put one out, he'd light another one. Oh yeah. And I didn't notice, I was all of a sudden, I didn't have to go home and dry clean my clothes. Right. I thought, oh my God.
43:00🔗Velvet RevolverHe started up again. As soon as we started the tour, Slash is back to smoking.
43:03🔗AdamBut he strikes me as a nice guy. I mean, you know, crazy at times, maybe a little left up, sometimes out of it, but a really nice guy.
43:14🔗Velvet RevolverNo, very even keeled guy. You know, very shy actually. I mean, a lot of the reason his hair is in front of his eyes and he's got the top hat, he's a fairly introverted guy and just had another baby. He's got baby number two, Cash Hudson. That's why we came off tour. He had another kid with his wife.
43:32🔗AdamGod bless him. I was just, I always thought, I don't know if people don't know slash, they must think he's just whatever, standoffish, or he thinks he's too cool for school or something, but he's really a sweet guy, really nice guy.
43:46🔗Velvet RevolverI think a lot of rock guitar players are like that. You're in your bedroom, you're a kid, you want to be a rock star, you're jumping around in front of a mirror with your guitar, doing the whole air guitar bit.
43:56🔗AdamYeah, that was true. That was true. Replace guitar with stethoscope.
44:01🔗Velvet RevolverYou did that, didn't you? Really? You play guitar, right Drew? No?
44:55🔗AdamThe bass player's a little flaky, just glad to be there kind of thing. And the drummer, drummer's got energy and could go off at any time. And I think historically this is proven out by, you know, your tooth moons and your tongue bottoms and all that stuff. Amy? Amy? Yeah. All right, so you're 14.
45:15🔗DrewWhat's up? Somebody listening? All right, mom's there. I think she let the F word go there.
45:21🔗AdamDoes it count if you whisper the F word? Yes.
45:26🔗AdamIt was funny too, cause she's like, my mom's here. Oh, okay, so I'm gonna, I will use profanity on the airwaves, but I'll do it in a way that my mom won't be able to hear. Only North America can hear me. Great. She's a class act, this Amy.
46:04🔗AdamYou guys live in a small house? I grew up in a small house, it sucks. You know, it's nice to have an upstairs and a downstairs because, I forget it. Like when you're coming, you can hear your dad coming down the stairs, hear the stairs squeaking, you know, uh-oh, my dad's coming, I gotta go. You know, when you live in just a crappy little, you know, 1200 square foot apartment or there's none of that, they're on top of you. And the doors are holocore, you know, I can hear right through the door. You need, you need a nice squeaky staircase and a fat dad, you know what I mean? I would encourage my dad to get fat if I was a kid. Hey, daddy, eat up, here, eat my pudding. Have a second portion. You get a fat dad and a squeaky staircase, you're cool. That, that, that's like, that's a mark.
46:47🔗Velvet RevolverYou know, in a stash, the mag.
46:48🔗DrewWe don't have either of those things, but we do have to need to take a break right now.
46:51🔗AdamWe gotta take a break. See, Drew, you got stairs at your house, but you're not fat enough and you've got carpet on the stairs and your staircase are formed. I don't think they're wooden. I think, I think you have concrete steps in your house.
47:04🔗AdamOkay, the concrete steps with the carpet on it and the thin dad, that's a zero. It's nothing. That's a ninja coming down the stairs.
47:11🔗DrewI'm the phantom, I'm a ninja in my house.
47:12🔗AdamDrew comes down on one of those cords, a zip cord. He comes from the pulley.
47:16🔗DrewBlack hood with a little thing for my eyes.
47:18🔗AdamHe does a shoulder roll and he pops up. You see his head pop up out of the kid's hand and then goes down again and then it pops out of the closet.
47:45🔗Velvet RevolverCall the Dateline. This hour brought to you in part by Axe. Experience the Axe Effect.
48:07🔗AdamHey everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Matt Sorum is here tonight. From Velvet Revolver. Played with The Colt and Guns N Roses and many other bands. Who's the, what do you think your, I don't know, who's the best?
48:31🔗Velvet RevolverI would say that Velvet Revolver has been my best experience yet.
48:41🔗Velvet RevolverI always replace guys in those other bands. I was the drummer that replaced the guy in The Colt. And then I was the drummer who replaced Stephen Adler in Guns N Roses. This band actually, I know it's kind of like other bands and all that stuff, but it's a new band and I'm the original drummer.
49:00🔗AdamYou know what he is? He's the Ted McGinley of drummers. Ted McGinley is that actor that replaced the guy from Married with Children, became the neighbor guy. Then he replaced the other guy on Happy Days. He keeps replacing guys on shows.
49:13🔗DrewBut when he replaces guys, the shows end.
49:16🔗AdamYou know what? They say that, because I know there was the Ted McGinley curse, but the shows end up going, you know, he replaced the neighbor guy from Married with Children. And yes, the show ended seven seasons later. I mean, you know, it's unfair to say.
49:31🔗Velvet RevolverBut you know, it's a good feeling for me. Yes, to be there. I've done a lot of stuff. You know, I've got the big career, I got the resume, the whole deal. But just starting your own thing and having to be successful is very fulfilling and gratifying.
49:44🔗AdamYeah, and you got in on the ground floor. That's what I'm saying. All right, and we will hear something else from Velvet Revolver before the night is true. Amy.
49:56🔗DrewCan you talk now? What's going on? Amy. That's when you talk right now.
50:07🔗AdamOkay, all right, listen, please, hold on. Let me just say something very quickly. Calling all tarts, attention all tarts. Stop calling this goddamn show. It's been, I'm calling on nine years of you idiots calling the show.
50:30🔗AdamI've been here for nine years. One out of every five calls from a teenager, they act like you called them and they're in the movie theater. Like it's as if they're sitting in the theater and their cell phone rings.
50:41🔗Velvet RevolverAre they choked up? Or is it like one of those, like when you're in a dream and you can't talk?
50:50🔗AdamThey're bothering them. It's like if they're in a theater and their cell phone rang and Adam and Drew were on the other line, how you doing? What's going on? Oh Christ.
50:59🔗Velvet RevolverListen, can we talk? Well, you guys have been on for nine years. It's like you're in their living room every night.
51:23🔗CallerAnd then it hurts like a few minutes after it. And then it kind of goes away.
51:26🔗DrewAll right, that's an infection, Amy. You need to get that seen by a doctor immediately. You're having sex with him? It could be something called honeymoon cystitis, where the bacteria around your vagina gets forced into your bladder and causes a bladder infection. The problem with that is it can get up into your kidneys rather quickly and cause a very serious infection. So you need to get that treated now. The other possibility, this is also the symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease, if you get a discharge and burning when you pee. Now, if both of you have been virgins and not been with anybody else, that makes that less likely. And certainly urinary tract infections are very, very common. But you're 14, you're having sex at 14. You can't even handle the basic biological realities.
52:10🔗Velvet RevolverI hear a lot from girls that if you're having a lot of sex, there's a lot of problems with yeast infections.
52:15🔗DrewSome women, yes, some women, no. But that doesn't cause burning when you pee like this.
52:20🔗DrewThis is this disuria, this urgency and all that stuff is all.
52:22🔗AdamHow old is your boyfriend? 16, yeah. That's a little creepy. That's a big two years, that 16, 14 thing.
52:30🔗DrewJust the 14 is creepy. 14 with anybody is creepy.
52:33🔗AdamYeah, I know, but 14 on 14 is, same grade young sex is not as creepy. What grade is your boyfriend in? Oh, I see now, this is getting creepy, yeah.
52:53🔗DrewHe's going into the 12th grade. Yeah, yeah. Senior and freshman.
52:57🔗AdamNo, no, no, no, okay. All right, so go to the doctor. And by the way, I've been screaming about this for.
53:02🔗DrewThe name of this has to be treated. The kidney infection's gonna be very serious from this.
53:05🔗AdamIt's something I've been screaming about for a while. No one ever listens to me. By the way, a couple things. First off.
53:10🔗Velvet RevolverYou think the guy's too old for her? Or she shouldn't be having sex with him?
53:13🔗DrewShe's four to one. The point is, there's really clear scientific evidence that the brain isn't developed sufficiently to handle all the emotional realities that come with this kind of intimacy until you're about 16, most people. And even then, most people are not of an age for developmental maturity where they can handle it. She can't even handle the basic biological responsibility. She's got a bladder infection from sex, sitting around wondering what it was. Meantime, this thing's getting up into her kidneys and cause kidney failure. I mean, that's a serious deal. She can't tell anybody about it. It's secretive. She doesn't understand it.
53:47🔗Velvet RevolverOkay, where can she go and get this taken care of then without going to the doctor that knows of her parents?
53:54🔗DrewAnywhere you go, your care will be confidential. It's illegal for doctors to tell your parents anything. You can go to Planned Parenthood, who are really designed to take care of a teenager and adolescent.
54:04🔗AdamLet's go to Planned Parenthood. All right, so now, here's the thing. Couple of things I've been railing about for a few months is one is, is really, can someone invent a microwave that you put metal in? It'd be real nice. I had a burrito tonight, had to surgically take the thing. Needed a shot. I took it home. And you know, stuff, you just needs a shot in the microwave. You know that thing where you go get a little Mexican food and you bring it home and it's like, it just needs a blast in the microwave.
54:29🔗DrewYou need about 20, 30 seconds. Why don't we decrease the reliance on metallic substances?
54:31🔗Velvet RevolverThey do the tin foil underneath the paper. Yeah, yeah. They do the triple thing.
54:35🔗AdamYeah, they screw with you. So you gotta take the whole goddamn thing apart before it goes into the thing. I'm just saying, the microwave has been around for 40 years now. Let's go ahead and work one out that works with a little metal in there, huh?
54:47🔗Velvet RevolverIt's just like they forget about it and go on to something else.
54:50🔗AdamPut the Italian, you know, the Italian food container, you know, the one, the metal one that has the lid, the little plastic lid on it, slide that whole thing in. There's nothing worse than the transference of the old food, especially when it's a greasy stuff and it hardens, you know what I mean? You know, when you're scraping the container and you're putting it onto the plate, it would be nice to slide the whole thing in. That's all I'm saying. Okay, that's one thing I want them to work on. That's all I'm saying. It doesn't seem like that tall an order.
55:15🔗Velvet RevolverYou just put it out there, man.
55:16🔗AdamJust putting it out, just let's get to work on that. Number one, number two, when I was in junior high, it was seventh, eighth and ninth grade, and then you got to high school, 10th, 11th and 12th.
55:29🔗AdamNow somebody decided some years ago, we gotta throw the ninth graders in with the high schoolers. Anyone who's in your high school is fair game sexually when you're in high school. Now you got guys, sometimes 18, sometimes 19, if you missed a grade, you got held back. I'm guessing Duff was probably in his mid 20s, still going to high school.
55:49🔗AdamSlash, Slash was 31 when he was going to Granada High. And now you got chicks. Now once in a while, also you got chicks that made it the other way. They're young, whatever, they're 14, you know, 13, 14, whatever. You got a bunch of 14 year olds running around with a bunch of guys that are chain smoking and driving El Caminos and it's fresh meat and it's game on. I mean, would you know your kids are gonna attend your alumni of your alma mater, the Little Lord, Fauntleroy School for albino hemophiliacs. But if they went to a regular high school, could you imagine your daughter, 14 years old, the bunch of guys that have licenses that are smoking and drinking Mickey's Big Mouth at the park and stuff, they're pulling up in a Camaro covered with Bondo, an I Rock, an I Rock C, got the Kragers, face right letters, torque twister tires on it, you know what I mean? Like a bunch of dudes. I mean a dude at 18 is good to go. Your penis can never gonna cause more damage than it does at 18.
56:48🔗Velvet RevolverOkay, but the 18 year old dude with the 14 year old chick, that's not acceptable, is it Drew?
56:53🔗Velvet RevolverOkay, but the 17 and 11 month year old dude is cool with that. No, that's a good thing.
57:00🔗AdamI'm just saying, whoever decided, hey, we gotta take the ninth graders and slide them into high school, I think was, didn't think this thing out completely. All right, that's all I'm saying. And that's how all the public schools are out here. I mean, imagine you're going out to school at Sun Valley out here or something.
57:17🔗Velvet RevolverYou know, that's more how it is in Europe, isn't it? The school system there. They keep them up, they keep them in a different school system up until about, which would be equivalent to the ninth grade.
57:28🔗AdamYeah, they're not animals over there though.
57:31🔗AdamThey have civilizational rules and stuff. We just have anarchy and chaos and guys with boners and guns.
57:36🔗DrewYou know, the other thing was, the Americans only kind of thing went from, from barbarism to decadence without going through civilization.
57:41🔗AdamYeah, we never made it. We just, just a bunch of guys, bunch of gang bangers with boners. That's all high school. Guys and gangs with boners. Boner gangs, they call them. They run wild. Yeah. Dustin, I was in the South Side Chubs, we call ourselves, yeah. Dustin?
58:04🔗CallerI am, I had a question for you. Every time I have an orgasm, I feel really sleepy right afterwards.
58:11🔗DrewThat's normal, there's a surge of certain neurochemicals that cause that in men. In women, they have a different chemical that goes up, sort of the adrenergic system is stimulated, which makes them want to talk, makes them awake.
58:24🔗Velvet RevolverWasn't that Eddie Murphy that said, I have sex for three minutes and I got to sleep for three hours?
58:28🔗AdamYeah. So they said, you're a great black guy, man. By the way, and let me just say this, ladies, ladies are like, why do you guys get so tired after sex? Here's the thing, we're tired all the time. It's just, when we think we're gonna get sex, we wake up a little bit, we get it together, we rally.
59:39🔗DrewThat's right, it's just there it is, and it's all its glory.
59:41🔗AdamThat's what it is. Sorry, don't worry about it, though. And then, I don't know why guys want to sleep. Well, actually, we want to get out of talking.
59:51🔗DrewNo, no, it's actually a difference in the chemistry.
59:53🔗AdamNo, I understand that, but you got to ask why does nature, you know what I mean?
1:00:01🔗AdamOkay, look at it this way, Drew. We were having a lot of conversation and contact that we probably didn't want to have except for to get laid.
1:00:12🔗AdamAnd we've had an ass full of the, oh my God, I can't believe what's her name from work, said that, and all that, oh, you're totally right, and I'm like, please, can we have sex? Oh, yes, no, yeah, we're gonna eat, we're gonna talk about this, and then when we're done, it's not that we're tired from sex, we're tired from the talking that went into getting you into bed. And we no longer process any more information.
1:00:33🔗DrewLet's evaluate what Nature might have been doing. Maybe it was Nature didn't want man getting back up and going, looking for some more action somewhere else.
1:01:01🔗DrewAnd then the woman's got to stand over and watch guard, make sure the animals get up, make sure that some other woman doesn't come up and wake him up and get going again. It's true, right?
1:01:15🔗AdamYeah, no, listen, Drew, your next book should be, What Did Nature Want? You know what I mean? Why does this happen? Why do we have our nipples? Do it, what does nature want?
1:03:20🔗AdamI don't know, Matt's a drummer. I gotta agree with Matt.
1:03:23🔗Velvet RevolverI'm just thinking, man. I'm trying to think here. I'm just asking questions of Dr. Drew. Is there tryptophan in the, can I say pussy?
1:03:30🔗AdamI guess you can, yeah, I guess. We're talking about vaginas. Like on one hand, well, this guy has a medical degree. On the other hand, this guy's banging so much trouble on the road. He's practically a gynecologist. It's kind of a toss up.
1:03:41🔗Velvet RevolverI keep chicks around just so I can have a good nap. That's my thing.
1:03:44🔗AdamYeah, I'm trying to think who I should side with.
1:03:47🔗Velvet RevolverHoney, can you come over? I want to take a nap. That's what I want to do.
1:03:52🔗CallerI had a quick question about, well, let's see. I don't have any sensation in my orgasm. I was wondering, is there any way to get that back?
1:04:01🔗DrewYou have no sensation. You have zero sensation when you orgasm?
1:04:06🔗CallerYeah, it's pretty much just like peeing.
1:05:02🔗AdamThat half always, I just added 30 pounds. By the way, hold on a second. Whenever you're talking to a chick and you hear a half, go ahead and add 25, 30 pounds. I know whatever they take. They're stretching as long. All right, Sean. So 5'9 and a half, what's the weight?
1:05:39🔗DrewBut no, you weren't beaten or anything.
1:05:42🔗AdamSpeaking of beating, well, why are you beating off a few times a week if you get no sensation out of it?
1:05:47🔗CallerOh, I still get excited. You know, I just, I don't know if I don't like to wash like sticky underwear. You know, do you get that crusty underwear?
1:06:00🔗AdamYeah. You get that crusty. Oh, man. Yeah, because if you don't beat off for like two and a half days, you'll just start spontaneously ejaculating.
1:06:10🔗AdamEven if you're walking down the street and there's semen dripping down your leg, you'll explode. It's tough on long car trips and stuff with the folks.
1:06:20🔗AdamGood times. Sean's been a hold for 88, 81 minutes. Yeah. All right. What are we going to do, Drew? You want to take a break? Just found out she's pregnant. Methods of abortion.
1:06:32🔗CallerThat's depressing. A question for Matt.
1:06:34🔗AdamA question for Matt about doing a little rock and roll drama. Megan?
1:07:13🔗CallerMegan? I just wanted to say thank you to you guys. I went through a long period of depression and I listened to your show every night and just that little bit, Adam Drew, little jokes just brightened my night and I mean, I could get through the rest of the day. And I fully recovered now and also I was raised very conservative Catholic. So when I listened to your guys, it broadened my horizon, broadened my sexual horizon. I mean, now I'm more accepting than I was back then. And I also wanted to say hi to Matt and Velvet Revolver is the most awesome band ever. I can't stop listening to the CD.
1:07:50🔗Velvet RevolverHope that inspires you as well.
1:07:51🔗CallerI was doing pretty good imitations of Scott on the stage. I saw you guys at Weenie Roast and it was the most amazing show ever.
1:07:59🔗AdamWell, you know, I think Megan's got kind of a crappy line. Drew nodded, by the way, acknowledging the compliment that you gave us. Thank you. We will hear something from Velvet Revolver. Well, I think...
1:08:14🔗Velvet RevolverThis is the ballad. This is the next single that's coming out. Well, you guys are playing it already on K-Rock, but I think it's coming out next month. We're going to make the video this weekend.
1:08:32🔗Velvet RevolverWell, check it out. It's going to be a period piece. It's going to take place in like 1979. And we're going to recreate... There was a club on Crescent Heights and Santa Monica Boulevard called Starwood back in the day. And there was a very cool scene there. And Rodney had his disco there. It was called Rodney's New Wave Disco. But the parking lot was very mixed in those days. It was like glam rockers, early punks, like there was bands like The Germs and Fear and those kind of bands that came out of Orange County, TSOL.
1:09:02🔗DrewI just remember a lot of people wearing brown in the parking lot.
1:09:06🔗Velvet RevolverAnd there was a lot of drug dealers in that parking lot, too. There used to be a lot of dudes selling Shurm cigarettes, laced with PCP. That was always cool to be on PCP.
1:09:24🔗Velvet RevolverIt was a lot like the whiskey at GoGo, but they tore it down. There was a guy there that used to run the joint and his name was Eddie Nash. And he got involved in the famous Laurel Canyon murders.
1:09:39🔗Velvet RevolverAnd he was the manager and ran the club. So after all that stuff went down, things kind of went downhill.
1:09:45🔗AdamI'll tell you, they slide under the radar a little. Everyone hates attorneys. And then if you're in this business, you hate publicists and stuff. I'll tell you one of the diciest of all professions, club owner, the guy who owns a couple of clubs, because club owner, you got, you got, he encompasses all the horrible attributes of the attorney and of the publicist and stuff, mixed in with a little, hey, I'll pistol whip your ass and rape you.
1:10:13🔗Velvet RevolverWell, look, I actually played the Starwood when I was in, I came to Hollywood in my early teens and I played there. I used to have Sunday Night, amateur rock band night, and I went in to get paid at the office, the band, and he offered me Quaaludes.
1:10:27🔗Velvet RevolverOr money. That's what I'm saying. And I was like, great. I think, you know, it was like 75 bucks or something so we could get gas to get back to Orange County. But, you know, it was either Quaaludes or cash.
1:10:38🔗AdamI'm saying, like, when somebody says, like, yeah, oh, my daughter's seen a guy, what's he doing? He owns a couple of clubs.
1:10:45🔗Velvet RevolverPlus, the guy was looking at me kind of strange, if you know what I mean.
1:10:49🔗AdamYeah, yeah. It's a club. They're sexually ambivalent in the sense they'll F anyone who comes into the room or kill anyone. They might F you, they might kill you, they might fill you full of drugs. There's always something going some murky deep dark thing.
1:11:04🔗Velvet RevolverHe was wearing one of those kind of silk jackets, you know, from the 80s. Remember those things? Or it was, like, members only or whatever the thing was. It was just in kind of greasy hair.
1:11:13🔗AdamYeah, he did a little time in the joint for that whole Wonderland slot. I think it went on up there. Yeah, Drew remembers that. Drew, please tell me you had a members only jacket in 1979.
1:11:31🔗Velvet RevolverI've seen some kids wearing members only, and I'm like, that was never cool.
1:11:35🔗DrewYou have to have not been in the 70s to pull that off.
1:11:38🔗AdamAlright, let's take ourselves a little break. Matt Sorum is here tonight from Velvet Revolver. We'll hear something off the new CD after this.
1:11:55🔗CallerThe summer's never been hotter. The Olympics begin August 13th on the networks of NBC.
1:12:14🔗AdamThat's Dr. Drew. Matt Sorum is here tonight. Rock and roll drummer, extraordinary. Now with Velvet. Yeah, that would have been him.
1:12:25🔗Velvet RevolverIsn't that like what they do at the end of a joke?
1:12:33🔗AdamI know, it seems like an insult, but it also, it is apropos to a rock and roll drummer who makes a drum sound, a thump, thump. You know, the thing about engineer Anderson, ever since we moved out of Westwood 1 over to here, he's become brazen. Yeah. He plays insulting quotes to the guests and realize there's no way they're gonna find him.
1:12:56🔗Velvet RevolverUnderstand what you're gonna do?
1:13:17🔗CallerAnd bitch, she didn't like bitch much.
1:13:20🔗DrewI think you weren't there that night. I don't think Adam was there.
1:13:22🔗CallerOh, well, there was a problem. That's why, yeah, I was the mean one.
1:13:25🔗DrewYou mean-spirited, you're mean, you're a mean, awful person.
1:13:28🔗AdamOh, I had trouble with, well, something happened. Janine Garofalo, something happened to her a few months ago where she, instead of being funny, got just really bitter and weird and freaking everyone out now. Maybe she needs a CAT scan or something.
1:13:42🔗Velvet RevolverRefresh my memory on who that is, actually. Who is that again?
1:13:45🔗AdamJanine Garofalo is a stand-up comedic actress who was like, she was the girl buddy of the hot chick in about every movie from like 1995 to like 2001 or something. She's did a ton of stuff.
1:14:04🔗DrewShe did that thing about the pet talk show.
1:14:06🔗AdamTons of good movies, you'd recognize her in a second. And then about two years ago, decided to stop eating and stop telling jokes and just got angry. And I don't know what the hell happened, but something happened and I'm not sure what it was, but it wasn't good. Anyway, a dear friend though, and wish her well. Don't get me wrong.
1:14:30🔗AdamThank you. That's a Dr. Drew, engineer Chris, pull up a list of a top 10 Janine Garofalo movies. So Matt will know exactly who we're talking about. All right.
1:14:43🔗Velvet RevolverCould be that low carb diet again. You know, not calming, angry.
1:15:01🔗Velvet RevolverI never can get through on the phone. I try to call, but you know, it's cool.
1:15:04🔗AdamDrew, what about, what about mood? I mean, what about guys, you know, eating nothing but steaks and chops as opposed to pasta and bagels? Is anyone any different now? Does it make a difference? Is there more testosterone?
1:15:18🔗AdamTalk about meat eaters and that kind of thing.
1:15:21🔗DrewBut again, you see, your body adjusts to background. You know, if you're doing something all the time, that just becomes the background. If you're changing it up all the time, you can change how you feel.
1:15:32🔗Velvet RevolverBut isn't carbohydrates more of a brain food?
1:15:36🔗DrewNot necessarily. I mean, your brain uses glucose, but it gets it from your liver.
1:15:39🔗AdamSpeaking of, yeah, imagine what slash his liver's giving him.
1:15:52🔗Velvet RevolverWe have a juicer, a juice man.
1:15:54🔗AdamYeah, oh, so when Velvet Revolver performs, there's got to be the guy with the juice tiger and the crazy eyebrows who's sitting there talking about the assets.
1:16:03🔗Velvet RevolverWe got all that. And he's actually the guy, we have the guy backstage doing the juice with the celery.
1:16:10🔗Velvet RevolverWe do celery, you know, carrot, a little ginger, some beet.
1:16:15🔗AdamBeet's nice. I do an ABC, apple, beet, carrot, nice.
1:16:20🔗Velvet RevolverYou know, it's replaced the agameister, but that's cool. You know, it's-
1:16:24🔗AdamLet me tell you something about the juice. You know, you get yourself some nice OJ going, hey, if you got to dump a little Kamchatka in there, so be it. You know what I mean?
1:16:45🔗Velvet RevolverSpeaking of juice, a friend of mine, another drummer friend of mine, Tommy Lee, I had a discussion with him the other night about juice. He's a big believer in the pineapple juice.
1:17:57🔗DrewIf you suggest it, they're like, oh, it's pineapple, great, oh yeah, pineapple. But as soon as you blind it and say, this one ate pineapple and he didn't, they can't tell.
1:18:04🔗Velvet RevolverAnother thing I heard about for semen is the vitamin zinc. I heard that it brings your semen count up.
1:19:04🔗Velvet RevolverOkay. I could shoot a couple of field goals.
1:19:06🔗AdamOkay. Peter North, it's, it's obnoxious. Like you leave the room and come back, he's still going. And, and just when you think it's over, there's like one, one thousand two and as a guy gets older, though, Drew does the semen.
1:19:20🔗Velvet RevolverI mean, like when you're a kid, when you're like, you know, in your teens and early twenties, you're just shooting like crazy.
1:19:26🔗AdamYou can go two, three, four times, Matt asking the tough questions tonight, by the way.
1:19:48🔗AdamAll right. Drew, let me say this, by the way, apropos to nothing, but Drew and I are wise. We went out, ate some dinner last night. So we like to, five nights a week, not enough for us. I like to get together sometimes on the weekends. Oh, have a good time. Drew has heard me rail many times about following in the etiquette of following. And I've yelled about my dad who does this. So, you know, my dad, I'll say to him, we'll meet at some diner, we'll eat some breakfast. And I'll say, dad, I'm up at the new house. You've not been there yet. Follow me up to the new house. And he will leave 75 car lengths between my rear bumper and his front bumper. And meanwhile, cars are sliding in between and I'm going 28 miles an hour and people are flying past me. And then inevitably you make a signal and then they don't make the signal. And then you're sort of pulling over and some guys are trying to get out of the driveway. Yes.
1:20:42🔗DrewWhat your dad doesn't have is a woman in the next seat.
1:20:45🔗AdamI'm gonna vomit, I'm gonna vomit. Okay, now here's what happened. So I've gone nuts about this. I'll do this sometimes. I'll go like, I'll say to him, follow me. And the person leaves three football fields between. Actually, there's two types of followers. If there's a guy leaves the three football fields between you and meanwhile, cars are sliding in between and you can't find him.
1:21:14🔗AdamOkay, quiet over here, you P-whipped MFer. So I'm saying to my wife the whole time, now I'm looking at Drew and he's got the Xenon headlights so I can tell his car, you know, cause he ain't no low rent here with Drew. I see the Xenon and I'm looking and we're driving up La Brea and I'm looking and he's way back. And I'm going 35, 36 miles. I'm going the speed limit. I'm not speeding. And he's way back. And then I make the signal naturally and he doesn't. And I'm pulled over. Then it starts that thing where you're pulled over and you're looking in your rear, trying to see when they're starting. And then I, and I'm screaming at my wife. I'll go, what the hell is wrong with Drew? I've given him the follow speech a thousand times. What's he doing? I can't even see him back there. I'm barely moving. And, and, and so my wife is saying, well, you know, Drew's, you know, he's a doctor, he's conservative. I said, no, Drew's a maniac behind the wheel. He's an animal. I said, that's his wife. That's gotta be his wife. So when he's talking about it, I said, no, Drew, Drew's an a-hole. Drew's an a-hole when he drives. And he drives like a piece of prick, you know? You son of a bitch. I can't stand that guy.
1:22:15🔗Velvet RevolverYou're different around the old lady.
1:22:16🔗AdamAnd, and, and I said, yeah. And I said, I said, I said, that, that's the old lady. I said, that's his navigator. She's slowing him down. And me, I'm driving. I said, would you get behind me? Cars are sliding in between us up. Now we're not on the mountain road yet. Now what's going on? What is your wife complaining about? You're going in a straight line.
1:22:33🔗DrewYou're going too fast. You're slowing down. You're going 36 miles an hour. I'm going to vomit if you speed up too fast and slow down too fast.
1:22:39🔗AdamJust open the window and throw her out.
1:22:41🔗DrewLiterally it was about speeding up too fast. Oh, your car makes me vomit.
1:22:45🔗AdamWhat is she talking about? What about the earth revolving? Does that make her want to throw up too?
1:22:51🔗DrewShe sits down in my car and goes, I'm going to vomit.
1:22:54🔗AdamWe're going in a straight line up La Brea.
1:23:01🔗AdamI know that's what I'm yelling. Now, but now worse than a guy who drives slow. Pee with Andretti over here.
1:23:10🔗DrewAnd how about the mountain road? You lost it.
1:23:13🔗AdamThe mountain, the mountain. As soon as I start going up the mountain, I would say it's true it's gone.
1:23:16🔗DrewYou notice I picked up a little bit and she's like, what are you doing? She goes, you know where he's going. I've never been this road before.
1:23:22🔗AdamYeah. But seriously in a straight line.
1:23:26🔗DrewSeriously, it's about accelerating and decelerating.
1:23:29🔗Velvet RevolverIt's nice that you guys talk about this stuff though. So, you know, it's nice that you get out these.
1:23:33🔗AdamStraight line, man. We're going in it.
1:23:36🔗Velvet RevolverI'm really, I'm really, I'm really happy that you guys are able to talk openly.
1:23:40🔗AdamI know. I look and she's a lovely woman, but it's not like, it's not like she's, you know, nine months pregnant or it's not like we polished off a bottle of Mezcal tequila in the parking lot or something. We just went out to dinner. She can't drive in a car going straight.
1:24:24🔗AdamThe car, it's an M, it's an M5. And the car will do zero to 60.
1:24:29🔗Velvet RevolverOh, that is the sporty version of that BMW.
1:24:32🔗AdamWill do zero to 60 in well under six seconds. Although with Drew's wife in the car, it's gonna take a couple of days to get to 60. Couple of days. Jesus Christ, what she wants you to do? Get out and push or something? Like what? You're going in a straight line. What? As I'm saying, Drew. Put the right foot down, put the foot down symbolically with the old lady. Got it. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. My old lady start complaining about that. She get the Thomas guide right across the face. Just the whole thing. The big fat city one too, just. Included Orange County. Pow! Right upside the head. That's right. Like a man would do. All right.
1:25:14🔗DrewShe actually does get, say I've had her vomit in the horrible one.
1:25:23🔗DrewIf I accelerate a little, I don't know.
1:25:25🔗AdamI was barely moving. I was yelling at it. One time we're all in a cab. This is, this is a pleasant. She yelled at the cab driver to slow down. And I yelled at her to stop. And then I yelled back at the cab driver to speed up.
1:25:36🔗Velvet RevolverOh, New York City should be done.
1:25:45🔗DrewI just keep that plastic thing shut. Tomorrow the window's open.
1:25:49🔗AdamMatt Sorum is here tonight. Oh, we got to hear. We're taking a break. We're gonna come back right here soon. That's where I need it. All after this.
1:26:37🔗AdamVelvet Revolver. We're gonna hear something else from Velvet Revolver. Matt Sorum is here tonight, drummer for Velvet Revolver. And first guy in the band, by the way. First time this ever happened. We will take one call, and then it's Velvet Revolver time. Yes, because I see Sex Anakin, you know.
1:27:52🔗AdamAnd so do you want to stop doing this?
1:27:55🔗CallerYeah, I've actually gone to a SAA meeting once and I thought it was stupid, so I didn't go back at all because I didn't think it could help me.
1:29:13🔗AdamRight. All right. Let's hear something from Velvet Revolver. How about it? Chris, what do you say, buddy? This one is called Fall to Pieces. Another good one from Velvet Revolver, everyone.
1:34:22🔗Velvet RevolverThis hour brought to you in part by Axe. Experience the Axe Effect.
1:34:46🔗AdamEverybody, that's the show. Ozo Motley's gonna be in here tomorrow night. Haven't seen those guys in quite some time. Oh yes, they've been on the show before. Drew, don't make that face when they come in tomorrow night.
1:35:11🔗DrewZinc and semen production. That's where it went tonight.
1:35:16🔗AdamMy pleasure, Matt. So until next time, this is Adam Carolla for Dr. Drew, saying mahalo.
1:35:28🔗CallerThis has been Loveline. The opinions expressed on this show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors or this station. The producer for Loveline is Ann Ingold. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
