1:20🔗
Drew
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. This is Dr. Drew. Phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Dr. Drew is a board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist. Tonight from American Idol, Constantine is with us. Constantine.
1:36🔗
What's happening?
1:37🔗
Drew
One of my favorites. I watched, I did watch almost every episode of Season 4. Really? Yes, I was all over it.
1:46🔗
Drew
And Constantine was one of the odds on favorites early on and stayed that way throughout. I think one of the biggest surprises of the of the tournament, as it were, was you getting voted off with. Was there then there was four after you?
2:15🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I think ultimately that probably led to my demise. I thought I was doing pretty well for a while there. And we had a great time on the show. Honestly, just the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, frankly. I was just psyched to have gotten that far and to for them to put me on like that.
2:32🔗
Constantine Maroulis
We're going to tour this summer. The top ten of us. I thought it was a great year, too. So we're really excited about the tour. We got some great stuff planned for the show. Everyone's going to be there. I have a theory.
2:48🔗
Drew
Lay it on me. I was telling Drew this. Constantine was one of the top two or three, I think.
2:57🔗
Drew
And then they went and talked to everyone's family. And everyone else's family came across as very sympathetic. Like these guys, like they're Russian. They moved here.
3:09🔗
Drew
You know, it's the story that I just mean, like you were like, I know where you're going. Oh, my God. They came here. Well, your parents, your family seem like they have money. They seem educated. It's like Constantine's when you saw Constantine's family, you went, oh, they're fine.
3:24🔗
Drew
These other ones, it's like I can't remember the guy with the bucket head. But his parents, his parents are sitting there.
3:31🔗
Drew
No, no, the bucket head one, they're in like trailers and they're like, you know, this is just basically this is this ticket out of the ghetto.
3:45🔗
Drew
Yeah. His parents were like, this is all they have. And then Anthony was the kid from Ukraine, Ukraine. And his parents were like, this is all we have. And then Constantine's parents were like, yeah, he'll be a dentist if he doesn't do this.
4:04🔗
Drew
The point is, is you saw it and you went, this kid's fine. I mean, his parents are fine. They'll land on their feet.
4:17🔗
Constantine Maroulis
There's so many theories circulating. I thought I was doing really well. That is a good one.
4:23🔗
Drew
It is because when you saw Anthony's parents and Anthony was the weak link, he picked horrible songs. I'm surprised.
4:35🔗
Drew
Yeah, people like horrible music. I'm surprised he didn't do Man Eater, by the way. It's the only bad song he didn't do.
4:42🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Oh, man. His mom goes, I am happy, mom. Honestly, Anthony is my boy. He's like my little brother. He's overcome so much. The kid, he's had like...
4:59🔗
Constantine Maroulis
He had tracheotomy when he was, you know, a newborn or something crazy like that. He was never supposed to speak. And, you know, he's got actually a really great instrument.
5:08🔗
Drew
It's funny, Drew was never supposed to speak either, but that's just because he was boring.
5:13🔗
Adam
Yeah, I still live up to that. But I don't see my wife and daughter just love the show. And they come home, they'll be like, Oh, you've got to see this guy's parents.
5:26🔗
Constantine Maroulis
So I went from like one, two or three to just freefalled off the show because my mom looked normal, normal.
5:33🔗
Drew
No, because you you didn't your family did not come across as needing you to win this. They had lives of their own. And you didn't don't come across that way either. You're you're a little bit older, a little bit more seasoned.
5:46🔗
Drew
And you have the I will I will get laid. I will make money. Whereas Scott does not seem like he's going to do either one of those. Oh, that's all I'm saying. So when you saw the parents, you went like, I was going to vote for this guy. But I would break these guys' hearts from the Ukraine. I'm going to vote for that.
6:11🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I wanted to win. I'll tell you, I went out there every week. I tried to challenge myself, the audience, take risks, you know, have some fun. And hey, you know, I came up a little short, but I think it was a great year overall for all of us.
6:34🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I'm doing the new Queen record. It's going to be hot. We were doing Bohemian Rhapsody on there. Oliver Lieber is producing and we're really excited about it. So it's the 30th anniversary of Bohemian Rhapsody.
6:49🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Hey, man, I just I went out there. I tried to just put them out there and I said it's either going to go over big or it's going to go over bad.
6:56🔗
Drew
It went over well. And, you know, at a certain point, I believe once you get into the top six, seven, maybe even eight, it just becomes a coin toss. I mean, that's right. Everybody's so talented with the exception of that Anthony and his horrible song selection. That kid just picked, I would start yelling at the TV set. But I will say this, I don't know if you want to talk about vindication, Bo Bice brought back Vehicle, which has long been my karaoke song. Oh, that's right.
7:26🔗
Constantine Maroulis
That's a great song. And it was a great song for Bo. I think he turned that out, man. He turned it out.
7:31🔗
Drew
Yeah. Well, you haven't seen the Ace man pump one of those out with a couple of Heineken in him in his underpants over at Kimmel's house. But it is not to be missed. And then I break right into Hell Is For Children by Pat Benatar. And there's not a dry eye or seat in the house.
7:49🔗
Drew
No, it's in the house. Yeah, that's how it works. All right. So so here's the thing. Now, who's on the tour? I know you mentioned some of the people on the tour.
7:56🔗
Drew
How does the tour work? Is it it's it's it's top ten and there's nobody from season three or any other co-mingling of the season?
8:03🔗
Constantine Maroulis
No, last year, apparently, I don't know. I know all I know is that this year is going to be hot. You know, this was a great year for the show. You got me out there with Nadia and Bo and Carey and Anthony and Scott. And who the heck else is going to be with us? Everybody, man. Anwar, of course, it's going to be hot. And we're going to feature songs, sure, some from the show. But we got a bunch of surprises in store, too.
8:29🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Vansel, of course, is going to be there. I mentioned her. She's she's my girl.
8:52🔗
Adam
How long were they going to be for a song? Did you like the night before you pick it and have to work?
8:56🔗
Constantine Maroulis
No, it's actually a long process. As you can imagine, you know, there's music publishing issues that you have to deal with, too. So it actually your week sort of starts. Let's say the theme is sort of announced, you know, Sunday night or something. And you go ahead and try and compile a list of songs. And you want to do. Yeah, you know, they kind of give you like a master list of, hey, listen, if we're going to do when it's real specific, like Lieber and Stoller, you know, you're kind of limited with what you're going to do. But if it's the 60s, right. And they give you like two, three hundred songs that are popular songs from that era.
9:38🔗
Drew
That's what me and like guys like me and Bo, we would always find our own songs and how you know, the tough part, too, is, you know, you hear them on the radio and they're three minutes and 28 seconds long. And you guys have a minute and 40 seconds to do it. So obviously you're less. You have to make cuts. Once you've heard it in your head a thousand times at three and a half minutes, getting it down to a minute and a half, it's got to be tough to do that editing.
10:03🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Absolutely. And that that plays a big part in the song selection, too, because some songs you're like, Oh, I'm definitely want to do like, there was a point I want to do Rock Sam by The Police. I thought it was hot. But when you try to cut it up, all it was just the same chorus repeating, repeating. It didn't didn't work in that sort of a minute and a half. So you need a song that's going to tell a good story. It's going to have like a bridge and a great chorus. And it seems like a complete piece in a minute and a half.
10:31🔗
Drew
And if they do it right, it seems like the song could have went that way instead of the sort of jump cut. I guess it's like any edit, you know, cleanly done.
10:39🔗
Constantine Maroulis
What do you think of the Bohemian Rhapsody edit? I mean, we cut about five minutes out of the song.
10:45🔗
Drew
I thought it worked. I mean, obviously, I thought it was one of the showstoppers that night. And of all the nights, just because of the difficulty factor.
10:56🔗
Drew
Well, that's the whole thing, too, is it's like you're like an Olympic diver. You could just do a cannonball, but you and you could score 10. But it wasn't difficult. They want to see you do it. That was a double twist, half gainer, camel, cow.
11:10🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Yeah, everyone was like, oh, you can't see, you can't do all this. So I was like, all right, let me go out there and show the pipes a little bit and do a great song. And of course, that's, you know, a great song from the year I was born. So it was either that or Lady by Styx. So I'm glad I went with that. I'm glad I went with Human Rhapsody.
11:29🔗
That's a horrible song.
11:40🔗
Drew
He did Free Bird, Vehicle and Sweet Home Alabama 128 times, so those are the three. You know, I was just thinking.
11:46🔗
Drew
I was thinking when Constantine was doing the voice that we always do with the dumb naysayer guy where he goes, you can't do that. We should always make that guy stupid. We should make him sound smart because that's an educated guy telling you, you can't.
12:04🔗
Drew
That'd be a, so you'd go like, when I decided to do Bohemian Rhapsody, everyone said, oh, you can't do that. And I did it anyway. See, now it's like a smart, college-educated guy from England who would do it.
12:17🔗
Constantine Maroulis
And of course, they are all English, you know, the producers of the show.
12:27🔗
Constantine Maroulis
And of course, Bruce Gowers, excuse me, who directs the show. He does, you know, all the camera work, everything. He directed the original Bohemian Rhapsody video.
12:40🔗
Drew
He was high as a kite on Peyote. The time has no recollection of it. They showed it to him.
12:54🔗
Constantine Maroulis
We kick off July 12th in Miami or that area at least. So we're really psyched. We're going to be at the Staple Center August 17th.
13:04🔗
Drew
And are you looking forward to being with everyone out of and not in a competitive environment?
13:10🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Honestly, we really grew into, I know it sounds cheesy, but like a family. And we were there for each other, supporting each other and rooting each other on.
13:20🔗
Drew
And now that the sort of pressure of the competition is gone, they can just rock. It was like at the end of Rocky III, where the Italian stallion and Apollo Creed got back in the ring, but just for sparring, if just for themselves. You know what I'm saying? That's it.
13:42🔗
Drew
You ready to go? Yeah. Maybe it was Rocky IV. I can't remember when him and Apollo got back into the ring. Three. Maggie?
13:59🔗
Let's talk to Maggie.
14:03🔗
Real quick.
14:05🔗
Hi guys. How are you doing tonight?
14:14🔗
What about it?
14:16🔗
Caller
I was just, I just found out that I had it and I was just worried. Like they didn't tell me anything about it.
14:20🔗
Adam
Okay. It's a bacteria that grows in your stomach. It's very, very common. It's associated with recurrent gastritis and maybe ulcers and esophagitis. It's a very complex issue whether it actually even means anything. When it really overgrows, it can cause a growth around the stomach. So it's something that generally a doctor will try to eliminate, but about eight times out of ten, we never do get rid of it.
15:08🔗
Adam
They may have you taking a bunch of antibiotics for about six or eight weeks, though, to try to get rid of it. But most people never complete the antibiotics. What's your other question?
15:16🔗
Caller
I'm sorry. I thought about it while I was on hold. And if you don't have time, that's okay.
15:21🔗
Drew
Go ahead. It took too... The setup took too long. We didn't get to the punch line. She had to do the whole roll-in about thinking of it when she was on hold. By the way, it's not Johnny Cash getting ready to sing a song, where he's just strumming, going, you know, this song, my grandfather, he had a tobacco farm in Mississippi, and he used to tell me, just get to the goddamn song, right? Oh, man. All right, now I feel bad.
15:47🔗
Sorry about that, guys.
15:49🔗
Caller
All right, I have a niece whose parents just got a divorce. They're my stepsister and her husband. And she calls me every couple days, and I don't know, it's kind of this thing that she has where she looks up to me.
16:10🔗
Adam
All right, all you can do, you can't change anything, you can't make anything better, you can just be an available, supportive, listening, active listener. Well, I don't mean you can't change this, you can't relieve her of her pain, but you can be useful and helpful to her by just being an active listener. Just listen, don't try to solve her problems. Just be available to her.
16:28🔗
Drew
Explain to her that it's her fault that her parents are getting divorced. Now that helps because it empowers the child. They think they can do something now. Otherwise, they feel out of control when you say, it's not your fault, there's nothing you can do about it, it has nothing to do with you. Drew, then what does the child do? Child feels out of control. But if you say, this is your fault, you should have done things differently and there's still time to change, well then the child is empowered.
16:55🔗
Drew
Corolla. Hey, let me just tell you something, Constantine. Yes, sir. Summer's, summer's heating up.
17:27🔗
Drew
Go down to public schools and public pool and teach the young urban kids how to play Adam Corolla.
17:38🔗
Adam
Speaking of summer heat, my television show is going to premiere on Wednesday. I need our Loveline listeners' help on this one. Yeah.
17:45🔗
Adam
Discovery Health Channel, Wednesday at 10. So please just leave your TV on. Listen to Loveline.
17:52🔗
Yeah?
17:57🔗
Caller
Uh, yeah. And... Well, first, may I just say that ever since you guys have gone out there in Chicago, my life has just been that much crappier.
18:24🔗
Drew
Huh? Yeah. Whatever. We'll find that out. We'll give a shout out to them. We will. Actually, let me tell you something. Something that's funny about this show. Most other shows do that thing where they like welcome. We'll welcome WPZY and Talladega. We do just the opposite, which is we abuse. We do. Somebody calls from from Tampa and we say, what are you doing out? You get our show out in Tampa and they go, yeah, it's been here for years. And we're like, whoa, what what station is it on? Which is horrible for the station that's out there in Tampa.
19:18🔗
Drew
Well, whatever. I've done it once. We've been dropped by 150 stations since I've been here. And I don't even know when we're dropped off a station. Anderson.
19:58🔗
Drew
Yes. Oh, we get dropped. We'll get picked up usually by somebody else like what's going to happen in Chicago. Matt.
20:16🔗
Caller
Okay. So yeah, this call was completely bogus. I'm six. I just really wanted to hear your voice.
20:52🔗
Drew
Oh, okay. All right. Well, we'll try to. Yeah, but here's what I don't understand about people. Like I might listen to Howard Stern or I might listen to Kevin and Bean or I might listen to Rick Dees or whoever, but I could tell you what station the other guy was on.
21:14🔗
Drew
What is it with the people like, no, I just listen to this one. I can't tell you what's on the other. WCKG FM.
21:29🔗
I know that it's right here in front of me.
21:40🔗
Drew
All right. A little FM talk for you. We have a question for Constantine, I think. Diana, bring it on.
21:57🔗
Caller
Me and my daughter love each other. Can you say good night to my daughter really quick?
22:17🔗
Caller
I just wanted to tell you, I'm in this group where we go online. We're called the Connie's and we email each other about you almost every day.
22:37🔗
Caller
We love you, Constantine. We voted for you. And there's no way that we think that you got the lowest amount of votes. Yeah. American Idol.
22:53🔗
Constantine Maroulis
No, you know what? I was just happy to have been there and to have gotten that far. I give you the Miss America answer here.
23:02🔗
Caller
We know that you're still going to be a big success. We love your, we love your Pray for the Soul of Betty CD.
23:07🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Thank you. You're going to come see us this summer with the tour, with the Idol Store?
23:36🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I'll look out for them at the show. They got to get me one of those shirts.
23:47🔗
Caller
I love your voice. It's not only that you're hot and all that. And anyway, I'm so nervous right now.
23:56🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Don't be nervous. It's cool. But I think I think Dr. Drew asked you where your husband is.
24:10🔗
Caller
It's funny because all these women in this in these groups, like their husbands all know about it and it's cool, you know.
24:18🔗
Drew
No, no, it's true. Let me explain. Hold on a second. When you get a little bit older and you're married to Diana, you hope they have a crush on some guy they're never going to meet. You know, it's better.
24:32🔗
Drew
Get a little whipped up a little in the bedroom. Number one. Number two, takes their focus off you a little bit and they can focus on and better than some dude who's working with them.
24:43🔗
Drew
I mean, you know, much better to have a crush on a young guy from TV than the new dude three cubicles over at the insurance agency. She's working at well said that now that's trouble.
24:55🔗
Drew
And here's a guy. You know, Constantine. Now, I don't I don't want to speak for him, but he's, you know, he's not going to be swinging by any middle age broads house and throwing throwing down. You know what I'm saying? He's he's young.
25:10🔗
Drew
He feasts on a steady diet of young groupies. He doesn't go to postmenopausal broads house and Loma Linda and have sex with them.
25:18🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Hey, anything to keep their marriage is strong and and healthy. You know, if I can if I can be of any assistance.
25:28🔗
Caller
Yeah, he can be our fantasy. And and I mean, I'm still hoping to meet you when I come to the concert.
25:36🔗
Caller
If we could like maybe see like when you go to those things, if we could maybe meet you at the concert. Yeah.
25:46🔗
Drew
Do you know, do you share my theory and that that Constantine's family during a family interview night did not come across as needy enough or sympathetic enough?
26:01🔗
Caller
You mean like, no, I don't know. I don't agree with that. I don't think that he got the lowest amount of votes.
26:12🔗
Caller
I don't know how much you want to go into this, but I think the show is fixed and they already predetermined who was going to win.
26:22🔗
Adam
We'll tell you, Dan, we've been inside these television shows. I've been in reality shows. They're all fixed.
26:33🔗
Drew
Don't don't get so weird with your kid. You're going to give her eating disorder, right?
26:50🔗
Drew
It's not like that's what I'm saying. Take it easy. Take it easy. That's all I'm saying. If my dad was a Bobby Sherman fan when I when I was a huge Bobby Sherman fan, when I was 12, it would have freaked me out.
27:10🔗
Drew
Drew, who were you into when you were when you were 12 or 13? Rudy Valley. Who were you into?
27:30🔗
Drew
You're here listening to the doors. And so what a freak out if your dad just walked through your bedroom door wearing like a Jim Morrison Liv shirt or something and said, We're going to the concert tonight.
27:50🔗
Constantine Maroulis
And I think that's what this show does, though. The show sort of brings, you know, families together and they get to root someone on and stuff.
28:00🔗
Drew
Yeah. Yeah. We'll see you at the concert. Constine is here. Yeah. Who was obviously from American Idol.
28:20🔗
Hold on to your coconuts.
28:33🔗
Drew
Hey everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Constantine Maroulis is here tonight from American Idol. Thank you.
28:42🔗
Drew
Constantine was, he was the powder, the heart throbbing powder. Give him a little tongue action every once in a while. He'd do a little pouty, a little puppy dog eyes.
28:53🔗
Drew
Yeah, girl. No, he knew what he was doing. See, Drew, you're hot, but you don't know you're hot. That's part of the reason you're hot.
29:17🔗
Drew
It brings you back to that. Hopefully you can get a hand job before you get back to not hot. That's how it works.
29:23🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Not hot is the new hot, I think, though, especially with like this whole indie rock resurgence. You know, everyone's like the regular looking dude with like the messy hair and the black frame glasses. That's like way hot now for, I think, hipsters doing that.
29:51🔗
Drew
Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, look, whenever you can sing, it always makes you hot as a guy. What what better? What better for the ladies than to sing? Yes.
30:03🔗
Dr. Sports.
30:09🔗
Constantine Maroulis
But then I think sports definitely does. Have you seen some of these players spouses? I mean, they look pretty good.
30:17🔗
Drew
Well, they do all right because they're millionaires. And we got to look at it that way. But OK, here's OK, here's the test. Are you ready? You're ready?
30:25🔗
Drew
Here's how it goes. Here's a test. You could go into any club on any given night. You could go to the Roxy or Gazaris or whatever.
30:36🔗
Drew
Maybe Gazaris is gone. He's a godfather of rock and roll. Yeah, over on the Sunset Strip. I don't think he's there anymore. Maybe it's the Rainbow. Who the hell knows? On any given night, there could be a band you've never heard of who does not have a record deal and every guy has a job working moving furniture the following morning up there doing their songs with a couple hundred hot chicks in the audience all wanting them badly.
31:02🔗
Drew
It's everyone in the band, whatever, up on stage doing their thing. Now, when it comes to sports, you show me a guy who's at the semi-pro level playing for the Mud Gamecock Hens, the Mud Hens over in the Toledo AAA League.
31:20🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I think they're doing well locally, though. Fairly well, those guys. I know some Monolith baseball players.
31:26🔗
Drew
They draw well locally in the tang department, but they don't cross the international borders like Constantine does, you know what I mean? He's like a the euro, you know what I mean? He's accepted in all nations. You know what I'm saying? All states, all nations.
31:45🔗
Hi.
32:33🔗
Drew
What are you doing? I wouldn't let a 15 year old buddy pop a zit on my back. You know what I'm saying?
33:08🔗
Adam
Well, who knows? You've been sort of your body, your soft tissue has been violated. It could be part of the healing process. You know how sometimes mucosal areas will put out more, what these are called mucopalic saccharides and try to heal that.
33:22🔗
Drew
By the way, are you two in prison or something? This is like, it's like your cellmates in the joint.
33:30🔗
Are you sexually active?
33:42🔗
Adam
A doctor needs to look at you. You need a pelvic exam anyway since you are sexually active.
33:49🔗
Adam
You can go to Planned Parenthood and you can do it. You're entitled to, most states, 14 is the age in which you can get confidential health care.
34:07🔗
Caller
I mean, I've heard, I mean, you talk about getting your clip pierced and how you shouldn't do it because you like lose stimulation, right?
34:15🔗
Drew
We're saying you're 15 and you thought it would be a good idea to have when your friends put a spear through your parts.
34:21🔗
Adam
In our experience, people that have that impulse or think that would be a cool thing were physically abused when they were growing up.
34:28🔗
Adam
Or something, or banned, or something. I can't hear her again. These phones are driving me insane.
34:39🔗
Constantine Maroulis
You got so much growing up to do. You know, I don't know. These piercings and these kids get bad tattoos when they're young. It's crazy.
34:52🔗
Adam
It's just this thing again where they're not talking. It just blanks out and we can't hear them when they start talking again.
35:01🔗
Adam
It's when they stop, then it turns off and then we don't hear them again when they start up.
35:05🔗
Drew
I think you're doing that. I think you're putting that together like one of those pigeons.
35:10🔗
Drew
Now hers just seem to stop altogether and I have no idea whether anyone can hear her now.
35:18🔗
Drew
Oh, it's a record though because normally they just drop off for three seconds at a time.
35:35🔗
Drew
Well, first off, I'm not going to start being scientific now. You know what I'm saying? I've made it my whole life without doing anything scientific.
35:46🔗
Yeah.
36:26🔗
Adam
All right. Well, that's where people get the good idea of putting sharp objects to their jaw. I tell you.
36:31🔗
Drew
And by the way, this is Ashley. Get some therapy, please. Here's why people, this is why people steer clear instinctively of people with aggressive piercings and tats and stuff. We know something is up. We all don't know as much as Dr. Drew and know that there's some specific form of abuse. We just know something's up. And it's not attractive to guys. Is it Constantine? You're not into it, are you?
37:00🔗
Constantine Maroulis
You know, I like I like, you know, I prefer not to see that stuff. You know, I like I like when girls are, you know, confident in themselves and natural. And, you know, that's what attracts me. But, hey, everyone's got to experiment and they got to go through those things. And, you know, she'll learn later.
37:28🔗
Drew
I'm gonna say that a piercing and a tat is a lot like a bumper sticker on a car. It never really helped the car. If you got a Ferrari, it's a Ferrari. If you put a bumper sticker on it, it looks like a Ferrari with a bumper sticker on it. You could do without the bumper sticker. And if you have a beat up Nova and you put a bumper sticker on it, it looks like a beat up Nova with a bumper sticker. No guy ever went, wow, look at that car. Look like crap. And now it has a bumper sticker on it. We're very excited about this.
37:56🔗
Adam
People with similar kinds of histories of abuse are naturally drawn to that, you know? It's a signpost for them.
38:03🔗
Drew
Yeah. And last, well, I was going to make, I was going to put some clarity to that, which is the gas, grass, or ass. Nobody writes for free. One.
38:19🔗
Constantine Maroulis
With a little teeny, teeny, weeny little pierce. And her nose, you know?
38:23🔗
Drew
Even that girl would look bad. That's a hot chick with a piercing you can barely see. If you remove the piercing you could barely see, it would be a hot chick.
38:34🔗
Drew
We get confused every once in a while because you go, I don't know, you know, Britney Spears got that little thing and it looks kind of, yeah, yeah, but her without that thing is good too.
38:43🔗
Drew
Yeah, everyone is better without it. All right, let's take ourselves a little break. Constantine is here tonight from American Idol.
38:51🔗
Drew
We'll hear something off the Pray For The Soul Of Betty, which is his band's CD, which was out before American Idol.
39:00🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Out before American Idol and sort of came out again while I was on American Idol. It's just a little something. This band has been so weird. We were together for a little bit. We jumped on the road while I was touring with Rant and then I got myself into this show. So it's never been a time where we just sit down and for months and write a record in the studio. It's kind of been like, all right guys, off I go again. Right. So it started out being just some pre-production and there's some cool melodies on there. We're excited about it and people seem to like it.
39:35🔗
Drew
So we'll hear something off that when we come back after this. It's Love Line, man. That's Dr. Drew. Constantine is here tonight. One of my favorites from American Idol. Yeah, Von Zell and Constantine, I think.
40:17🔗
Drew
It is, yeah. On the road with Von Zell, you could do worse. And you know, the thing, it struck me too, is it's a weird competition because it's not all about just your pipes, purely the pipes.
40:31🔗
Drew
Yeah, because Constantine had the pipes and Von Zell certainly had the pipes, too, and didn't make it to the end. I mean, and as a singer, and I don't know, see, to me, just as a lay person, I thought like, well, Von Zell has better pipes than Carrie Underwood. She has a better voice, more powerful voice, bigger voice.
41:01🔗
Drew
I don't even know about from the heart. I just mean when God was giving out the voice, you know, a vocal quality, just pure instrument, just the pipes. Yeah, just like a like a boxer that just had a devastating right hand.
41:12🔗
Constantine Maroulis
You know, rock, definitely. And she came on very strong. It was really cool to see the progression of everybody in the competition, especially the top ten. And then from even six on, it was it was awesome to be a part of.
41:25🔗
Drew
Who did you who were you most impressed with? And what about my assertion that like Voncell had better pipes than Kerry?
41:32🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I think that's, you know, it's open for discussion. Definitely. I think what's great about the show is, you know, everyone can sort of root for their, you know, their own person. And it's fun. It's great to see like, you know, an underdog sort of making their come back. And Voncell came on very strong. And that's that's great. I think Kerry's an awesome American idol. Yeah, I think she's, you know, she represents a lot of what this country loves and adores and needs. In fact, the red states.
42:07🔗
Constantine Maroulis
She's a good kid and I'm psyched for her. I'm very psyched for her. So it's going to be a great summer. Go check out the compilation that we have out right now. It's actually doing very well. It's still number six in the charts.
42:20🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I don't think they've done that well in the past. We've scanned like an insane amount of CDs.
42:27🔗
Drew
Well, I mean, obviously, the show keeps getting more popular and the talent level goes up with the exposure because, you know, season one, you know, it's like all these shows. It's like The Apprentice, season one, 10,000 people try to get into it and then season two, 500,000 people try to, you know, obviously, when you have this many people going, vying for one spot, the talent is amazing.
42:51🔗
Drew
So I mean, the top, you know, I'll go out on a limb here and say that, you know, anyone in the top 10 of season four probably could have won season one.
43:07🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Hey, man, I don't know how they're going to top it next year. This was crazy that, you know, the rockers, the expanding the age, they're going to need to do something to top it next year.
43:17🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Well, how about as funny as people thought it was going to be done almost after last year because it, you know, the numbers were great, but they're like, OK, OK, enough's enough. But we came back, you know, and just exploded this year. They changed up the format. They had the guys night, the girls night. They extended it to three nights a week at one point.
43:36🔗
Constantine Maroulis
And all of a sudden, they're going to start auditioning in August. We're here already. It's been a year in the middle.
43:42🔗
Constantine Maroulis
You guys have got your your sleeping bags ready to go as you hit the pavement.
43:46🔗
Oh, hell yeah.
43:47🔗
Drew
Like I said, a vehicle right into Hell Is For Children, right into Just Dropped In to see what condition my condition was in by Kenny Rogers in the third edition or the first edition. Yeah. Maggie.
44:11🔗
Drew
Yeah. Complete with like a 20-minute bass solo in the middle of it. And each time they try to stop me, I'm going to yell, I'm not done. I'll wait for the bass solo.
44:22🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Oh, there was a lot of talk because a lot of people in the top 10 could play this year. So we did work some of that into one of the shows.
44:40🔗
Constantine Maroulis
We study classical acting and voice and speech and fencing. Fencing, chess.
44:48🔗
Constantine Maroulis
A little piano, some guitar, but I'm a vocalist, you know. But you just, I pick it up. When I was in rent, I had to learn some guitar for the show because my character played the guitar in the show. So with that, I've picked up some stuff and just write some songs that way.
45:05🔗
Drew
Ma'am, maybe they will. Well, but here's a question. If you played, let's say the acoustic guitar, and you wanted to do a song that just, you and the acoustic guitar, you want to do a Jim Croce song, would they let you bring it out there or they would claim that's unfair?
45:21🔗
Constantine Maroulis
They were a little worried about the fairness issue and with that this year, they weren't ready for that because everyone could, could play and I think they wanted to keep it as even as possible but, you know, Bo's going to come out with his guitar on his record so definitely. Gary too.
45:50🔗
Drew
And a fur hat. Your 36 year old boyfriend can't orgasm when he's hard only when he's soft?
46:13🔗
Adam
Okay. This is a medication side effect. You need to have him talk to his doctor about probably the doxepin.
46:24🔗
Adam
Well, it may be important that he stay on the doxepin but he's got to go back and reinforce how important it is that his sexual functioning be maintained. Let's say if you've been depressed, which is what the medications are for, and you can't be sexually active and you can't be intimate in a relationship, that's going to make you depressed again.
46:41🔗
Drew
Plus, if you orgasm when you're soft, you never know. I mean, you could be in the middle of like a boardroom meeting. You're just talking to your doctor. Doc, my prep...
47:00🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Watch a little sports center. That sounds crazy. How do you come like that?
47:03🔗
Drew
That would be rough too, because every meeting would be like, you'd just be sitting in the middle of waiting. Some guy would be showing some slides or something like... And you'd be like, oh, all right, I gotta go.
47:15🔗
Drew
Constine is here from American Eye. We'll take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll hear something from him after this. Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Constantine is here tonight from American Idol. Constantine has some self-out of CD as well as the American Idol CD, which is doing quite nicely. Thank you. Also, the tour will start. When does the tour begin?
48:22🔗
Constantine Maroulis
We open July 12th down in Miami. But we're going to be moving around everywhere, man. We're doing 43 dates in about two months.
48:55🔗
Constantine Maroulis
They work... You know, each person gets their own sort of section of the show. And then, you know, maybe some overlapping duets, whatnot, a group number, perhaps. You know what? We really don't know a lot of the details. I only just spoke with sort of like the producer of the tour and got, you know, laid down some thoughts I had as far as like what I want to do. And then they were driving on that.
49:25🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Sure. I think I think they'd like to do that. You know, that's what people recognize us from. They'd love to see perhaps me do Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah. Or one of these songs.
49:36🔗
Constantine Maroulis
That'd be cool. So and then maybe something else. You know, I have some surprises up my sleeve.
49:56🔗
Constantine Maroulis
They didn't do it like that in the past, huh? I didn't really watch the show before.
50:00🔗
Constantine Maroulis
From what I'm told, there's a lot of tracking going on in the past. Ricky Miner stepped in this year and put a huge band together. I mean, that dude is just a monster. And with the backup singers, incredible band. The whole process, I mean, what a team they have over there. That's why they're number one. You know, they have an incredible production team from top to bottom. Everyone just works round the clock. Great producers, great runners, incredible musicians, supervision. Everybody is just amazing there.
50:31🔗
Drew
So it's an ambitious show to do as many times a week as they do. But still, the show is a horrible opening, by the way. I must say that.
50:41🔗
Drew
I don't like, no, I don't like the computer-generated, crappy opening. It's really, it's a horrible opening.
50:55🔗
Drew
They used that for the pilot. They had no budget. And no one's bothered to change it, because I think it's gotten carved in to everyone. Like a Brady Bunch theme or something.
51:03🔗
Constantine Maroulis
But you hear that music, that... You know it's synonymous with American Idol.
51:10🔗
Drew
Make no mistake, it's a horrible song. And the graphics are horrible at the beginning, too. It's like a cheap sports show that's on deep cable.
51:22🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I think they have two also, because sometimes it's a guy sort of at the end as a winner with like the jazz hands, and then there's like the girl, too. So I think they rotate, so they might even have two.
51:33🔗
Drew
It's all crappy, it's all bad. But then the show's good. And you know, maybe they're smart. It's like, Oh, can't wait. Oh, the show seems, you don't.
52:14🔗
Constantine Maroulis
We had a good time. That was, we threw a big party when I was home after the show to celebrate the release of the CD back, I think, last month. And we're planning another party similarly out here in Los Angeles. So stay tuned to prayforthesolarbetty.com and, you know, just keep your ear to the grind for a party coming out here in the next couple of weeks somewhere right in Hollywood. So it's going to be fat. But thank you for coming up and supporting us like that. Yeah, people were coming from all over the place, sleeping out the days before to get tickets.
52:45🔗
Drew
Here's the problem, when you live in Alabama, whenever there's record release parties, yeah, chance are you're getting on an airplane.
52:52🔗
Caller
Yeah, definitely. I knew I definitely had to be there. That was my first time going anywhere, much less New York, and we were actually in New York, like less than 24 hours, and it took like three days and all to get there and get back. But it was so worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat, and I'm planning on flying out to LA in the next couple of weeks. I'm just waiting to hear the date. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
53:15🔗
Why?
53:33🔗
Caller
No, I'm, you know, I'm married and I have three kids, and I don't know, I mean, I think actually at first my husband was a little bit upset about the whole, you know, I'm in love with Constantine thing, but yeah.
53:55🔗
Constantine Maroulis
No, but you guys got to, you got to, honestly, there's this amazing community of people that have come together in support of the band and they found each other and they've, you know, listen, the show put the band on, that premiere, man, and all of a sudden everyone knew who the band was and it's so cool. They have this, all these communities, there's this board on our website and everyone's been really cool and they get along and stuff.
54:18🔗
Drew
All right, well Mandy, so are you, you're gonna come out here for the LA record release party?
54:32🔗
Caller
I'm a stay at home mom and I'm with him all day, every day and, you know, I think he's been kind of reaping the benefits of the whole of the whole thing.
54:39🔗
Adam
Because you know, what if what if he fell in love? What if it was the he was in a Jessica Simpson, the Jessica Simpson record release party? Ashley said Ashley's both just saw them both last night. And he's going to fly out to New York and then Los Angeles to be at their party. How are you going to feel about that?
54:59🔗
Caller
Now, I actually had like a five hour drive to the airport and then flew. But, well, before this thing, I probably wouldn't have understood, but I can tell you after this, I think I can understand just about anything. I mean-
55:12🔗
Adam
All right, so we'll get him involved with that. We'll see if we can get him on to something. Maybe Britney Spears or something like that.
55:22🔗
Drew
Yeah, she's doing something out in Manhattan. He's got to get on a plane. You're going to have to watch the kids.
55:26🔗
Adam
Yeah, he's got to be with her. He's 26 and he's in love with her, so you never know what might happen, but okay.
55:32🔗
Caller
I've just met so many cool girls on the board and we've just become such good friends.
55:40🔗
Drew
Drew is looking at me right now like my dog looks at me when I'm masturbating. Just like what? What is she trying to, that ain't food. I don't know what's going on. I'm just going to lie down.
55:59🔗
Drew
Drew, the idea that you have three kids and you're just getting on these planes, I know it's great for Constantine, but Drew is befuddled.
56:17🔗
Drew
It's a mitzvah. Listen, as long as you're not getting any trouble and your husband understands, that's fine.
56:25🔗
Caller
All right. She understands. It's just for fun. I wanted to ask Constantine if he enjoys the fiction writer story on the board. Fantasy?
56:38🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Man, these girls get, they're enthusiastic. And this one girl goes on there and she writes, she's a fiction writer and she's got like all these fantasies. She sort of spells out and everyone sort of chimes in and comments on it. And it's sexy, definitely.
57:19🔗
Drew
Try roofing. That's when you're when you roof. That's when it's hard to meet people. When you're on TV and you sing, it's much easier to meet people. That's as a matter of fact, that's why you sing. And that's why you get on TV. But have you have you been hit on by any? No, I know you've had and you don't want to mention any names.
57:38🔗
Drew
I'm sure you don't find. But what I'm saying is, is American Idol is one of the shows where you might get somebody famous as publicist to call you and see if you want to go have lunch or something like that.
58:07🔗
Drew
So for you, because, I mean, you're you're always been on stage, but not on this large stage.
58:13🔗
Drew
And so all of a sudden the phones ringing. It's Morgan Fairchild. And she wants to go nosh with the Constantine. I'm trying to think of somebody you grew up watching. Anybody you grow up watching or, you know, I have no comment.
58:28🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Oh, man. But it's cool, man. It's it's going out a little bit. And I'm sure you have a good time. And God knows who he's been working, working really hard also.
58:39🔗
Drew
So it's, you know, that show I'm trying to think, you know, and you want to compare that to, you know, a football player. You know what I'm saying, Drew? That is a launching pad right there. That is a well, I think it depends.
58:57🔗
Drew
Is he doing Rubin is doing? Here's the deal, everyone is doing a lot better than what? Yes.
59:04🔗
Drew
Everyone is doing quite a bit better than what they would have been doing. Had they not been on the show once in a while, you get your clay types who probably just ain't into the scene. You know what I'm saying?
59:15🔗
Drew
I'm sure there's I'm sure there's something he's into. But no, but here's what I'm saying. Oh, there's a horrible sound.
59:25🔗
Drew
What I'm saying is, is if you're a single guy and you want to have yourself some kicks before you settle down, this is a good place to get started on that journey. And I think what I'm hearing from Constantine is he's begun that journey.
59:39🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Well, it's crazy because, you know, six months ago, you know, approaching my 30th birthday, you know, and I'm not a young and anymore and sort of like, all right, this is what it is. You know, I went to school. I'm happy being a working actor, job to job, got my rock and roll band. And I would love to meet a nice girl and settle down and, you know, get married and do the whole thing, get a house in New York somewhere and sort of make a life together. But all of a sudden, the show happens. And, you know, I still feel that way, but I have felt a resurgence of youth.
1:00:25🔗
Drew
You know, also being in doing a little musical theater, like yourself, Constantine, that's a good gig for chicks too, because there's tons of chicks.
1:00:37🔗
Drew
Stop me if I'm wrong. Please stop me if I'm wrong. There are tons of hot chicks. They're from all over the place. So none of them have any supervision, really. They're not dads aren't around. Boyfriends aren't around. That's sort of they're they've broken free and they're going to go wild a little bit. Also, weird eating disorders and self-esteem issues, which make them super sexual. And your competition is nothing but gay guys. So you are you are the fat cat. You're the alpha male. You're the there's there's a handful of straight guys in the whole company. Bunch of hot chicks with self-esteem issues and they've broken free of their hometown in Kentucky and they're ready to get busy.
1:01:16🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Now think about how it was for me at the Boston Conservatory. So we did OK. Actually, my class had a fair amount of straight guys in it, but the majority of the school.
1:01:39🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Yeah, I think we have like everyone's got the same name with Ashley, Ashley, Maggie, Maggie.
1:01:50🔗
Caller
Um, okay. Um, I kind of have this like rule where all guys that I date, um, have to be versions because I, I'll feel like uncomfortable because I'd rather like keep my virginity until marriage.
1:02:10🔗
Caller
And, um, this guy that I've, I've kind of, like we've been kissing for like two months now, but he just like, uh, actually just kind of like, he's now my boyfriend and it's been like this for about a week and a half now. And just like a couple of days ago, I found out that he and his ex-girlfriend had like, been having sex, oh, like they had been having sex and, um-
1:02:39🔗
Caller
Um, one of my best friends and then one of his ex-girlfriend's best friends. Like I had to confirm.
1:02:48🔗
Caller
Um, I'm not sure whether I should break up with him or not or whether I should like wait for a while and see if he does anything or-
1:03:14🔗
Drew
Yeah. Well, I want to know what, like, where do you stop? Do you have a place where you stop? Can you do everything but have sex?
1:03:33🔗
Adam
It sounds like this guy may not be the right guy for you. But we don't know. We don't know the guy.
1:03:49🔗
Adam
There you go. He's old and new. He's got different priorities. Hold on a second. I don't like this guy. I'd like to ask you to break up.
1:03:55🔗
Drew
I drew what's everyone to break up, but is it because you found out this information that is not right for you or did you feel this way before you found out the information?
1:04:05🔗
Caller
I felt this way kind of before too, but I don't want to break up with him because I don't want everybody to... I don't know. I just feel like I don't want him to look at me and be like, oh, she's so stupid because she broke up with me after we were together for a week.
1:04:17🔗
Adam
No, that's not stupid. That's mature. That's what you're going to do all through your life. If you assess somebody, you decide it's not really working out, let's move on.
1:04:25🔗
Drew
Here's all I'm saying. If you're breaking up with him because he's had prior relations...
1:04:31🔗
Drew
Had priors. He's got a few priors. You can, you know, if he still treats you and still acts like a gentleman around you, that's fine. But if you're not really into him anyway, then forget about it.
1:04:54🔗
Yeah.
1:05:42🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Yeah, we had it out on our website, it shows and whatever, and then we touched it up a bit. And the fine people at Koch Records did the distribution, but it's a baby Julius productions effort.
1:05:56🔗
Drew
So this one's called Cry. That is also called Cry For Pray for the Soul of Betty. Constantine is here from American Idol. We will take ourselves a quick break, and we'll be back with more humor. Constantine and Bill with a little penis piercing question after this.
1:11:21🔗
Thank you for calling Loveline.
1:11:31🔗
The Real Gilligan's Island is back on TBS. Premiers Wednesday at 9, 8 Central on TBS.
1:11:45🔗
Drew
Hey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Constantine is here tonight from American Idol, of course. Pray for the soul of Betty, name of his band CD. And then, of course, there's the American Idol CD and the tour, which will ensue. And that is all the top tenors doing their thing. And man, can't go wrong with that.
1:12:11🔗
Drew
Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, you know, you shouldn't even promote it. People are going to be there no matter what. Can't help it, right?
1:12:19🔗
Drew
Yeah. All right. Let's I want to get a job judging on that show. That would be awesome.
1:12:30🔗
Drew
Just put a fourth one on there. All right. Judging is what I do best. Not really actually creating anything or doing anything.
1:12:53🔗
Drew
I think I did Star Search or something. I was a judge on Star Search. It was the greatest 45 minutes of my life. Awesome. You just sit there and like, it was good, but people are dancing and singing their ass off, and you're just sitting there going, it was okay.
1:13:12🔗
Drew
I've seen better. Do I get my 10 grand yet, or do we wait till the end of the show? Okay. I should stop saying that. Okay. Well, let's just keep going. We're just awesome. Yeah, we'll give you 10 grand. Just come on down and sit there and judge people, spinning plates or juggling or something. And then the other thing that's funny too is like, judging is the greatest gig in the world because it's like, we'll give you 10 grand, but listen, make it fast. We only got about nine or 10 seconds. It's like, can you imagine someone saying like, yeah, we'll give you 10 grand to put that drywall up, but just put like half a sheet up because we're kind of in a rush.
1:13:55🔗
Drew
I'm sure they do just fine. Randy Jackson, the easiest job in show business. It's this dog. I wasn't feeling it tonight. All right. Where's my 100 grand?
1:14:11🔗
Yes.
1:14:15🔗
Nothing. I have an Apidravia piercing.
1:14:19🔗
It's a Prince Albert and a reverse Prince Albert. It basically goes from the bottom of the penis up through the top. Hold on.
1:14:28🔗
Drew
No, no. Yeah. Because the Prince Albert goes to the bottom. Through the urethra and busts out the bottom.
1:14:37🔗
It's both piercings, but this is just one barbell that goes to the bottom of the head through the urethra and out the top. I can put a reverse and a regular one in. But my question is...
1:14:47🔗
When me and my girlfriend are having sex, there's a few occasions when I'm more having sex. I'm doggie style, she'll start to bleed. And I was wondering what kind of damage that can do. She's wondering as well. Sometimes it's just a trickle of blood. Some other times, more recently a couple of days ago, it was a lot of blood.
1:15:09🔗
A lot of blood. Yeah, for a good five or 10 seconds, it's pretty bad pain and then it goes away. But sometimes the blood just will keep going.
1:15:22🔗
No, it's internal.
1:15:27🔗
Yeah, it's up inside more. Yeah, you're tearing.
1:15:31🔗
Drew
Yeah. And what do you do when you fingerblast her? You put a Super Bowl ring on or what do you do? No. You just got to do damage.

Drew
Maybe Freddy's so angry because he can't masturbate with that hand. I never really thought about that.
1:16:04🔗
Adam
Yeah, Bill, I'm very concerned about that. You're literally ripping, you're tearing her vagina with metal. You may want to put on one of those and reinforce condoms.
1:16:16🔗
Drew
You want to hear. Here's the deal. Here's your question. In essence, I have bent a piece of steel around my dung. Then when I F my girlfriend aggressively, I draw blood. What do you think? What do we think? You're hurting her with the piece of metal that you bent around your dung.
1:16:32🔗
Caller
That's what I assume. That's what I was getting at. But she tells me she doesn't want me to take it up because every other time it's fine. It's just a few occasions where it has actually led to some pain and discomfort. But she said that she doesn't want me to take it out because all the other time.
1:16:47🔗
Adam
She better get a Pap Spirit. Plus, it worries me because the thing has a, she said it was a barbell so it sticks out the front and maybe he's actually tearing the cervix and that may impair her fertility permanently.
1:17:00🔗
Caller
Just a couple weeks ago, she had what we thought was a bladder infection of some sort and it didn't go away for quite some time. And I thought maybe that one of the terrors-
1:17:11🔗
Adam
Bladder infections don't go away if you're not taking antibiotics. All right. Bill, please, please.
1:17:32🔗
Drew
Yeah, I don't know. Do the trauma math, all you retards. Please. What is the question? She says she likes it. Obviously, she's a mess emotionally.
1:17:45🔗
Caller
Yeah, that's why I came in too. I said that, you know, I can take it out. It's not a problem, but she said not to.
1:18:09🔗
Constantine Maroulis
He had like a piercing through like my thing, and then this other one, and then she was bleeding.
1:18:22🔗
Adam
I don't know how they get, you know, the penis has the two cavernous bodies in it that fill with blood. How do you just thread the needle there?
1:18:40🔗
Drew
Yeah. I don't know why. Here's the whole thing. All that piercing stuff, it seems like more would go south than they actually do.
1:19:19🔗
Caller
Yeah, actually, we're going to go see you, Constantine. I'm part of the GGs. So the Greek God Groupies.
1:19:26🔗
Drew
The Greek God Groupies. It's a pretty awesome group. The Greek God Groupies, yeah. Hold on a second. Let me just do my weight math. I was like, okay, her name is June. For some reason, I put 20 pounds on her. We're up to 163. Then she works at the sex shop. Now I just tacked another 20 pounds on her at 183. And she's a Greek God Groupie. Now she's at two bells even. Should we try to figure this out? June?
1:20:04🔗
Drew
Oh, that's it? Wow. What happened to my radio math? What are you doing working at the sex shop?
1:20:28🔗
Drew
Right, except for it's nothing but gays that go in there and bang on the boyfriends, but it is geared. Every sex shop starts off being geared toward women and then a bunch of gays move in and start off with their boyfriends.
1:20:46🔗
Constantine Maroulis
We were in Minneapolis, there was this sex world, it was called. It was like a supermarket.
1:21:12🔗
Drew
I know, but it hadn't already been, if it weren't all those copyright problems. Hey, June?
1:21:45🔗
Drew
Yeah, what do they buy? Well, a lot of women are buying a lot of these, you know, personal toys.
1:21:52🔗
Caller
I mean, we saw like lingerie and we saw like a lot of like candles and sexy massage oils and stuff like that. But we also, I mean, women mostly buy toys, to be honest.
1:22:07🔗
Caller
All the people who work here are female. So they feel a lot. They feel very comfortable coming in here.
1:22:27🔗
Constantine Maroulis
I'm definitely coming through there. We're going to be rehearsing there the week before we open. So.
1:22:32🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Yeah, because that's the opening. So we're going to sort of tech the show that week and then open on the 12th.
1:23:22🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Again, I'm looking with the extremely popular capitalizing on the Apple.
1:23:33🔗
Drew
Now, that's why I'm telling you, that's why they have to fire everything up in person, because once you leave the store with that butt plug or the rabbit or whatever you're putting in there, there is there's no discount bin. Although I got to believe the Corollas would be hanging in the if there was a thrift store for that stuff, they would be going there.
1:23:54🔗
Adam
Although you'd be going to come out of high school, you'd be going through the bin in the back.
1:23:58🔗
Drew
Look, I am not not kidding you when I tell you that we had a weirdo manager of our first apartment when we moved out, we had a bunch of guys living in one bedroom and some weirdo moved out and this guy showed up with a box of these things. I'm talking strap-ons, I'm talking novelty stuff, butt plugs, everything.
1:24:20🔗
Drew
It was just a... What isn't a butt plug is really the question. Anything could be a butt plug. That mug, that Drew's keys, Drew's glasses. Perfect. Drew's nose. What wouldn't qualify as a... It looks like a spade on a deck of cards.
1:24:38🔗
Drew
Yeah, I'll draw it out for you during the break. The point is, here's really the criteria for a butt plug. It needs to start small and get bigger. It can't be the other way around. It sort of has to be shaped like anything that's aerodynamic. You know, it's got to really cheat the wind.
1:25:01🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Oh man. So it sort of looks like the Boy Scouts of America insignia or a pacifier.
1:25:13🔗
Drew
I had a little butt plug. I made it out of latex. It kind of looks like, remember the cone heads? Yes. It's got a little of that. If you picture Saturday Night Live, the cone heads from behind would have that kind of look. You cut it right at the trapezoid muscle there. All right, we'll take ourselves a little break, Constantine, here tonight for American Idol. We're always trying to educate our guests. We'll be right back after this.
1:25:41🔗
Drew
Loveline will be right back. Hey, everybody. It's Loveline, madam. That's Dr. Drew. I forget about that phone number. Constantine is here from American Idol. Yeah. I really got into American Idol this year. I got to say.
1:26:33🔗
Drew
And the thing is, the American Idol, the first few weeks where they're doing the auditions, for me, that's not the show. I like it when the competition begins and you start picking out your favorites and all that. There's always fat people that can't sing.
1:26:50🔗
Adam
It's amazing how distorted and delusional people are, though, isn't it? The lack of insight is an amazing thing.
1:26:55🔗
Drew
There's plenty of that, and there's also, I think, people are just put-ons now. A lot of them are just on there, just saying, screw it, I'm going to get on, do this thing. I mean, you can't do a show like this without attracting a certain amount of people that are somewhere between, it's a put-on, but I want to be on TV, but maybe I think I sound good. It's hard, you know, the line is a little bit blurry.
1:27:17🔗
Constantine Maroulis
They're good at weeding out the real, you know, fake people. Unless it's something like gimmicky and that they want it on.
1:27:30🔗
Drew
That's that's for sure. And and I'm we have our favorites. I'm I'm fine with that. But to me, I start watching it in week number, I don't know, six or whatever. Whenever the competition really starts heating up, we we we trim the fat, so to speak, preparing for your judging job.
1:27:48🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Yeah. The crazy part is people follow from day one like they have their favorites right away. They pick, you know, and they try and they follow that person. It's just it's just an amazing thing to be a part of. Definitely. But I mean, the being inside of it has just blown away by how huge it is. And just it is crazy.
1:28:14🔗
Yes.
1:28:16🔗
Question for Dr. Drew. Yeah. About two weeks ago, I went to a massage parlor and a hand job turned into a actual sex, about a minute unprotected. Now, I was on Catholic at the time.
1:28:31🔗
A Catholic, nanobiotic for a chest cold.
1:28:35🔗
Drew
So you went to a massage parlor and the hand job turned into sex. Yes. So for me, the hand job turns into a back rub, turns into 110 bucks minus a tip.
1:28:46🔗
Constantine Maroulis
Did you know you were getting a hand job going to this massage parlor though? Like going into it, did you know that's an option?
1:28:53🔗
And what I'm wondering, I've had no symptoms, no burning, no redness, no bumps. I went back later and had to use the condom this time and I had spermicide I think, cause then it got itchy, then I put some, some of this hydrocortisone and then I was fine a day later.
1:29:10🔗
Drew
All right. I mean, you're, you're like any true champion, you know, it's not going to stay down for long.
1:29:21🔗
Yeah, just the skin. There was no, no bumps, no sores, no, there's no no burning. Just when, after I used the condom, I mean, I used, I got all nervous and I started using rubbing alcohol to clean myself and That won't do crap.
1:29:39🔗
Well, am I, am I, should I not be afraid of the gonorrhea or syphilis or?
1:29:44🔗
Adam
Yes, you should be afraid of the classic, classic sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid, LGV, these things are all still a possibility for you.
1:30:01🔗
Adam
It's a first-generation syphilis borne. It's like a penicillin. Oh, it's related to penicillin.
1:30:10🔗
Drew
Hey, Jacob, let me ask a couple of questions. How much for the hand job? Jacob, did he give an answer?
1:30:22🔗
Drew
How much for the hand job? 40? Not bad, not bad. And then when it turned into sex, did it get bumped up?
1:30:34🔗
Drew
Yeah. About 100. And why was that over so quickly? Because the hand job was in full effect?
1:30:58🔗
Caller
That's when I started using whatever cleaners I could find. I started trying to clean everything.
1:31:09🔗
Adam
Sure, if you're scrubbing yourself. But listen, if it were the case that you could in any way impact on transmission of sexually transmitted diseases by dousing yourself in alcohol or scrubbing yourself with soap afterwards, don't you think you would have heard of that?
1:31:24🔗
Drew
Listen, I learned firsthand, I used to have this theory that ammonia stopped everything in its tracks.
1:31:51🔗
Drew
And I put a drop of this ammonia on it and it walked right out of it. Oh, man. Yeah, it actually. Yeah. And that's where I realized nothing will kill these things.
1:32:25🔗
Drew
Would you recommend it to a friend? Because I know they have those little things you fill out at.
1:32:30🔗
Caller
Well, I was worried it's been six weeks, Dr. Drew. If I'm not burning or red or bumpy. Yeah, you're fine.
1:33:30🔗
Just do it.
1:33:31🔗
Drew
All right. Anderson's going to give you lower self-esteem. Here's the thing. We're out of time. You cannot judge yourself by, it's not like, well, if you're prettier, nicer, better, smarter, dad would have hung around.
1:33:44🔗
Drew
I know. And I can't say, just get over it. Here's all you can do if your self-esteem is bad, male or female. Getting other people to be attracted to you is not going to do it.
1:33:54🔗
Drew
You getting attracted to sports, hobbies, school, things that make you feel good about yourself. Things that make you feel good, friends, that kind of stuff, that will build your self-esteem. Or banging everyone in Hollywood, like Constantine. We'll take a.
1:34:08🔗
Drew
That's right. That's when you get to the sex, sex, sex. Take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.
1:34:32🔗
1-800-LOVE-191.
1:35:04🔗
Drew
Yeah, but maybe he won't. Maybe he'll just flatline a little, and then he'll be back begging to come on the show.
1:35:11🔗
Drew
Constantine, yes, no matter what happens. Here's the deal. If nothing ever works out, you get to come back on the show, but if you do what we think you're gonna do, and you have a meteoric rise to stardom, you still come back on the show.
1:35:24🔗
Drew
All right, everyone, Pray for the Soul of Betty is the name of the CD. Also, of course, the American Idol CD out. Look for the tour soon. Until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying, Mahalo.
