1:26🔗DrewDid you hear me yell, hurry? She was hurrying. I just slipped something past her. Oh, there it goes.
1:35🔗AdamHey, everybody. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Yowch. We just heard some crazy feedback in our ear.
3:12🔗AdamYeah. You don't know where you've been, man. You only know where you're going.
3:16🔗311You know what I'm saying, dude? Look forward to that.
3:19🔗AdamYeah. You're just looking at the back of the tour bus, man.
3:21🔗311In front of the tour bus, it says, Further.
3:24🔗AdamThat's where we're going. What's behind you is he who have been rocked. And what lays before you is those about to rock. You see what I'm saying?
3:33🔗AdamYou worry about those who are about to rock. The band... You know what I like about the band? It says, Self-Described Friends for Life, which is nice.
3:46🔗AdamYou're gay. And it's hard to do. We were... All partnerships usually, and bands which are sort of larger partnerships, they end up hating each other, like Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. And then, Drew, that's going to happen.
4:13🔗AdamWe reunite in the name of cerebral palsy or something with a weird hug. And I got my bow tie undone and I'm all bloated. And we just cry. And you know, I talk about neither one of us knows what went wrong.
4:47🔗AdamAnd I guess if you go on for long enough, you either get stronger or you just start to want to kill each other and you guys both. No, you're on the strong route.
4:57🔗311Yeah, we're stronger than ever right now. We're in the zone, man. We just made this album in a third of the time that the previous one took.
5:10🔗311Just a lot of momentum and confidence that came from a really good year with the 51st dates thing and then the love song, Cure cover that we did. And just our fan base was getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And we just had a lot of ideas and we just recorded them quickly at our own studio. And we just feel like...
5:42🔗AdamNo ass. Oh, I've looked. Yeah. I kept telling Drew to look, but he wouldn't listen.
5:49🔗311That was another reason why Evolver took so long, is we were putting that studio together. So when we went in this time, we could just get to work and just be creative like we like.
5:58🔗AdamYeah. I'm from North Hollywood, so I know your digs. Where are you guys about? You don't have to give the address, but-
6:14🔗AdamI went to North Hollywood High, which is good because I tell people, I'm from North Hollywood. They go, what high schools you go to? I go, North Hollywood High, which really proves you are from North Hollywood.
6:24🔗DrewThey're building a new high school. You've seen this?
6:51🔗311In the meantime, I can say that I had a celebrity go-kart race underneath the Big Huge A. It was incredible. It was so much fun. These things go-
7:01🔗311I was leading for the first half and then I hit a hay bale and just came in last. But guys from Pennywise were there. Corn and yes. Well, not Fletcher.
7:22🔗AdamYeah, I know. I did one of those things, too. And I got my ass kicked by Chick. But my argument was the weight factor, the extra weight. She's lighter. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Steve?
8:04🔗AdamIt's like you're rushed into the house, you're getting your pistols. Where are you going? Somebody said good day to me. And in a different tone than a friendly one.
8:14🔗AdamYeah. I'm just thinking what it... Now, I mean, you see, this is what, you know what we did, you know what we did with cussing in this culture is we effed the S out of it and now it's no good anymore.
8:34🔗AdamThey just, too many N words and MFers and now nothing means anything anymore. And now you can't raise an eyebrow. Used to be you could tell someone F off or suck or whatever.
8:42🔗DrewIt's just a comma. Yeah, it's just a semicolon.
8:45🔗AdamYeah, it's no good anymore. It's been taken out.
8:48🔗311Give Lenny Bruce some credit. Come on, he started it. And he got arrested for doing a 311, which is an indecent exposure, doing an indecent performance.
10:11🔗311Wait, so is it because your girlfriend won't do it to you because you're carrying this?
10:16🔗DrewOr she has warts and you're afraid you're going to get it?
10:19🔗She actually just told me last week and it was nice of her because her previous boyfriend, she didn't even tell, but she decided to tell me before we've done anything. So now I'm pretty concerned about that.
10:31🔗DrewIt could mean a couple different things by the way. Let me guess, you mean she's trying to turn them away.
10:36🔗AdamI wouldn't take it as a good thing necessarily.
10:58🔗DrewYou may have had it at one time because now what they are showing is that they last less long than they thought they had. But they're very common.
11:05🔗AdamHere's what happened. I told Drew I didn't have warts and he said, oh, yeah, you do. I said, no, I've never had a wart.
11:15🔗DrewI'm saying you must have had it because it's been usual.
11:19🔗AdamDrew says 50% of people, youngish people living in urban areas or whatever, have this which just to me means Drew has it. But I told him I didn't have it and he just refused to believe me. So eventually, I bet him $100 and he dumped acetic acid on my pepe. Oh, Jesus Christ.
11:51🔗AdamAnd by the way, that's like trying to wrestle a pot of honey away from a grizzly bear getting 100 bucks from Drew. So believe me, if he paid me that 100 bucks, I say good day to his wallet, is what I say.
12:06🔗DrewFact is, it's exceedingly common. Everyone that gets a pap smear now gets tested for this because it's so common.
12:36🔗Well, actually, this time around two weeks, we hadn't seen each other for two years, and then she was STD-free, that I know of, and we just kind of hooked back up two weeks ago.
12:47🔗AdamSteve, it doesn't sound like this is a marriage made in heaven.
12:59🔗DrewAll this energy about General Wartz is a little disturbing to me. I mean, yes, it needs to be...
13:04🔗AdamBut he has other issues, which is they broke up, she had sex with some guy for a while, maybe a friend of his, and now they're back, and he's angry, but he's still into her. Steve, here's the deal, I've learned in my travels, maybe I'd just start with a clean sheet of paper. This has too many marks on it from the eraser, you two, sketches you've drawn, erase plans you've made and crossed out, just start with a fresh sheet. Let's go find some chick that you don't know dated one of your friends, or you don't have that weird history with. Okay. Or drop it, get over it, and get on with the relationship, but don't live in limbo. Okay.
13:43🔗311Yeah, but don't fool yourself if, you know, you can tell she's not really of your ilk.
13:48🔗311I mean, maybe you're the worst one, but from what you're saying by having this concern, you're worried about her sort of cleanliness and also, therefore, ethics.
13:59🔗DrewThat is so ridiculous. Not what you're saying, but that he would feel that way about somebody that has something that most people have. It has nothing to do with her cleanliness. Most. Most people have, or have had. It's true.
14:40🔗AdamOh wait, Nick, come back and answer this question. We'll do it during the song. Drew, don't become like Lenny Bruce with his court papers up there going insane.
15:29🔗CallerWell, my question was about the new album, Don't Tread On Me. I know that Evolver definitely had some new sounds and vibes compared to your previous albums. I was wondering if you guys personally think if the new album bring back the classic 311 sound or something similar or different to Evolver?
15:48🔗311Well, I think we go through a back and forth phase of wanting to really reinvent the wheel as we know it and albums like Evolver, Transistor or more all new sounds and then some are more back to basics like the Blue Album and I believe Don't Tread On Me is more of a, it's more of just a fun album that was made a lot quicker than some of our previous albums and but there's definitely departures there but I wouldn't characterize it as a big departure album. It's more a lot of songs are going to be fun to play live and just a snapshot of what we're doing right now and people like Peanut's mom here said that when she heard it, it reminded her of us in 1993, 94 era. So maybe that's what some people want to hear, other people want to hear a brand new stuff, but we're just doing what naturally comes out.
16:44🔗AdamLet me ask you guys a question. When you're doing new music and you're doing it live, obviously there's not a comfort level or not as comforting and familiar as songs you know and have done a dozen, a million times. Is it still fun or do you have to think about it a little more, and does it turn into a little more of a job? You know what I'm saying?
17:10🔗311It just takes a little while to be comfortable with new stuff, just like anything. I would say what you're doing, but you've got a handle on it. You've been doing this for so long. I don't think people could surprise you by saying anything. I think every time I come in and do this show, I'm always surprised by what the people say, but it seems like you two hold it down so deeply that you're not really that surprised by it. And I think the same is kind of true. Even with new songs, they're really not that different because we're working with the same group of people in this same format that we've been doing for 15 years.
17:44🔗AdamAnd you guys created this song, so it's not like someone dropped the song off and told you to learn it.
17:49🔗311And we rehearsed really hard, and everything just leads up to it. And we tour for a living. That's the one thing we can really rely on. So it's what we focus on.
17:59🔗AdamObviously there's songs you like more than other songs when you're playing live. Are there any songs that you just kind of like to get through to get to the ones that you're really looking forward to? Or if you had one of those, would you put it on the set list? Or does that vary from band member to band member? And do you ever talk about it or argue about it?
18:20🔗311Well, you take a song like the one that closed out our last album, Off Evolver, Sometimes Jack's Rule of the Realm. Now this is a song that's basically like six or seven movements strung together and there's like a really...
18:45🔗DrewPut that down. I'm in Atlanta in the 19th century.
18:48🔗AdamThe 17-year-old black one, like Ann Aster over there. Yes, I'm sorry, Nick.
18:52🔗311I apologize for Drew. It's harder to pull off. Yeah, the first time we played it, it was pretty nerve-wracking because it starts out with just like my vocal and it's kind of very at the top of my range and acoustic guitar and then there's this like mandolin-y thing and it's this big long journey. So yeah, you're pretty much on your toes. It's pretty nerve-wracking. But the sense of satisfaction you get when you do that is fantastic. It's not, you know, if we played the same old stuff over and over, like the Beach Boys out doing Fun, Fun, Fun 30 years later, that would maybe get boring. But we're still finding ways to change it up all the time and we've got so many different songs to choose from and we're not just all about regurgitating the hits.
19:31🔗AdamIf I was in the Beach Boys, I'd be like, let's change it up and let's do Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun. I don't want to totally go a different direction, but let's add one more Fun.
19:43🔗AdamYeah, let's add two more Funds. All right, Drew, what do you got there, buddy?
19:47🔗DrewThis is from the American Cancer Society and the US. Preventative Services and Task Force. The researcher says, the vast majority of adolescents, wait, wait, where am I? Okay, noted that 50% of sexually active adolescent girls have been exposed to HPV and their PAP test will show mild abnormalities as a result. Some researchers go even farther and say that more than 50% have been exposed.
20:12🔗AdamAll right, exposed is different than having.
20:52🔗AdamI just, I got to find a helicopter shot of this thing. This is from 311 off the new album, Don't Tread on Me. And this one's called Don't Tread on Me.
24:33🔗AdamWant to dress up your sex life? Visit durrex.com.
24:37🔗There's sex and then there's Durrex. Hey, everybody, it's Loveline.
25:07🔗AdamI'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew, 311, in the studio tonight. Peanut, Nick Hexham, here tonight. We will hear another song off Don't Tread On Me in the 11 o'clock hour. Drew did his research on the genital warts, and Drew.
25:26🔗DrewFound that 50 to 75 percent of people will contract the wart virus at some point in their life. But that presently, the data shows somewhere between 10 and 30 percent have it. And my point was-
26:13🔗AdamWhat happened to the days, by the way, when a commercial would come out and then TV talk show host would take hold of it and then for like three years it'd be, I can't believe I ate the whole thing was the punch line of every sitcom and all. There's too many channels, too many commercials now, like we can't do it anymore.
26:31🔗DrewTivo. We don't watch commercials anymore.
26:37🔗AdamYou come up with Where's the Beef and you would just ride that pony into the ground for like five years and now, nothing, song parodies. Yeah.
26:54🔗CallerWell, like a year ago I moved out to California with this guy I was dating who was a skinhead. And he left and he came back and we started to have a relationship again. Well, now-
28:06🔗AdamAnderson plays that every time Michelle speaks into the mic and nobody can understand what it is. But it's one more reason we don't want to hang out with Anderson.
28:29🔗AdamWhat a legacy. And then hundreds of years from now, Marco Polo has been dead for like 900 years. Hundreds of years from now when they were playing Adam Corolla, people will be like, who is that guy? My dad told me he made beat-off jokes on the radio.
28:46🔗311He invented a car called a Corolla that would go and go and go.
29:00🔗AdamPlease try not. Here's what will prevent you from swearing on the air. Do not gather any momentum verbally. Because when people gather verbal momentum, then their mouth gets a little head of their brain. Well, you were drunk at least. Their mouth gets ahead of their brain and they can't get it back into the bar. So slow down. Go ahead, Jen.
29:42🔗AdamAll right. Did you see what happened? She was at a nice steady 55. Then she saw the cop pull off the off-ramp. She start putting her right foot down. Next thing you know, she went to Coo-Coo City.
29:56🔗DrewThat's a disturbed person. Can I even contain, can I utter three or four sentences on an environment where she knows clearly she can't do those things?
30:07🔗AdamWell, perhaps we should have brought it up. That's a disturbed person. I just want to put her on hold. I want to get her number off the air. I'm looking for her nanny. It's not that she would be good, but I feel like I could get her cheat. You know what I mean? To me, let's face it, it's about money.
32:00🔗AdamI had this idea today, shifting gears. I was thinking about tranquilizing Jen. I thought the evolution of dentistry. I was thinking about dentistry. Well, I have to go to the dentist.
32:16🔗311I fixed a chip that I got playing basketball. It was bonded up. One of my insizers, yeah, cleaned it up. And I had a little decalcification going on in my molars. Had to get that worked on. It was great. I just brought in my iPod and put the songs on shuffle.
32:33🔗AdamGot to get in. I got to get that iPod. Smart.
32:35🔗311It was fine. It was a good thing to be able to block out.
33:58🔗AdamYeah. The thing is, the way they get it to stay there is they drill into your jawbone, and then they tap it. The fact that I'm a carpenter and I know how this stuff works even makes it hurt even more.
34:27🔗AdamI don't need this. I don't need this now. But here's the point. I'm doing this on Friday. And so there's the evolution of dentistry. I was thinking of it. First thing, you did nothing. You just have to bite on a spoon and then they give you a little brandy and then some ether or something came in and eventually Novocaine came around and that evolved into some sort of Twilight sleep where they give you a little gas and they knock you down with some nitrous. But here's the next evolution I was thinking about. Even with the nitrous and the pills and all that stuff, you still have the psychological part of driving to the dentist to have this crazy work done on your jaw. I would like to be darted. I realize anywhere. I would be out at a restaurant raising a toes and be like, you know, when I met Cheryl and Steve about eight years ago, and it just fall over.
35:28🔗AdamBut wouldn't that be awesome? You'd feel a sting in your neck and the next thing you know, you just wake up, you'd be driving, your wife be driving you home and you'd be like, what's up? You remember that post you needed? Well, it was time. Well, when do we? It's done.
36:23🔗AdamEvery episode would be like, BA., we're getting on a plane, we're going to the conga. You know I don't travel by airplane, sucker. And he'd be like, okay. And the next day, he'd be like, buttermilk.
36:46🔗AdamGive me that bit of milk, Joe. The other thing I love about the A-Team, and I was just thinking about the A-Team today, they were Vietnam vets who were accused of a crime they didn't commit.
36:58🔗AdamAnd they were living in the, they were roaming the LA underground, all right? And there was an MP that was hot on their heels all the time. They were keeping a low profile. It's like, hey, have you seen these guys? There's a black guy with 70 feet of gold anchor chain around his neck. He's wearing coveralls and his sleeves are cut off. He drives a van with orange. The black van with the big red stripe. Yeah, there's other guys driving a canary yellow Corvette. You ever seen those guys?
37:32🔗AdamCould you miss these guys? Could you miss these? Yeah, they're five adult males all living in the same house driving a custom van, open headers. Yeah, it's like, no, I don't know who those guys are. Never seen them before.
37:45🔗311Now, this is very entertaining for us, over 30 people, but most people at home are like, what's an A team?
37:51🔗311Flip over to Nick at Night. It's probably on right now.
37:54🔗AdamLook up TUA. Holes. That was TV. Yeah. All right, let's take ourselves a little break. Michelle, please find that venue in the parking lot.
38:01🔗DrewWell, let's clarify, that's TV we suffered with when we were your age.
38:03🔗AdamThat's all we had. We didn't have that great educational stuff.
38:05🔗311Yeah, we need a break. We've helped so many people.
38:07🔗311It was better than the Golden Girls and Alf, though. Fits right in the middle.
38:10🔗AdamCombined. Yes. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back with 311 after this.
38:56🔗Adam311 is here tonight. We have Peanut, Nick Hexham here. From the band, the CD, which is not going to be out for about three and a half to four weeks.
39:08🔗AdamYeah, we are going to hear another song. Drew, into us. Drew called dibs on the 311 CD almost immediately, which he normally doesn't do. Just as long as I have one for myself. Where is my 311? I don't even have a copy of it.
40:37🔗My problem is I like this guy and he's really cool and he's really nice, but I found out today that he is actually a she and that he takes hormones to be a guy.
41:01🔗So I mean technically he's still a girl, but I've known him only as a guy. And I'm just wondering, I still like him, but should I try and go for it or not?
41:50🔗DrewCouldn't tell that to make light of your comment.
41:53🔗AdamNot to make light of it, but to make light of all the a-holes who say, Look, everyone is an individual and you don't know anybody and everyone's story is different and you can't judge and tell you. Of course she was molested. That's why her compass is spinning around like she's in the devil's triangle.
42:27🔗AdamYeah, so one syllable into our conversation, Drew thought gay, I thought molested.
42:34🔗You know, I always listen to you guys and you always get the molestation thing in like two seconds. And I just knew if I ever called, you would get it in like a second.
42:42🔗DrewWell, God bless you for sort of caving in real quick and easily with us. Yeah.
42:46🔗AdamAnd listen, you wear it. I mean, people sound like what they are. They sound like what they're thinking. Even if the words aren't what they're thinking, it's the tone. I don't think people realize...
43:07🔗DrewAll right. A certain quality that's always there.
43:09🔗AdamThe point is, is now that we've done this, so we're not gonna judge because it's impossible, but here's the deal. You gotta get some therapy for what was done to you.
43:26🔗AdamIt sounds like that because we didn't have to wring it out of you.
43:29🔗DrewBut here's what I was gonna say. I think, this is my humble opinion, and this is sort of maybe even irresponsible jumping through up to this so quickly, but aren't you, is it not the case you were struggling with your homosexuality?
43:44🔗DrewYou don't want to be gay. You don't want to be gay, do you?
43:46🔗CallerI don't want to have to tell my parents.
43:48🔗DrewRight. You don't want to be gay, and that's what you've been struggling with. I think it's time you kind of maybe had a homosexual relationship and sort of see what-
43:55🔗CallerI haven't had a relationship, but I've been with girls and stuff like that.
44:02🔗AdamWhy don't you want to tell your parents and how were they involved with the molestation?
44:06🔗CallerAll right. This is- you guys are going to have fun with this one first of all. I don't want to tell my mom because I know that she's going to be like, have you ever been in a relationship with a girl, Sarah? How do you know that you're gay? You're not gay, Sarah. Just because you've kissed a girl, just because you've had a dream about a girl, doesn't mean that you're gay. That's why I don't want to tell her, because she's going to have holes in my face.
44:28🔗AdamAll right. But why- okay, you're 17, you don't have to tell her, but who molested you?
44:34🔗CallerAll right. This is where it gets really fun and interesting. My mom's boyfriend molested me when I was seven years old. She walked in on him molesting me, and she didn't do anything.
44:57🔗AdamHow do we know? It's easy. That's all. I just wish society would understand this and then act accordingly. I mean, so people could get help and so we could prevent this. You know what I mean? I mean, if society would understand, in my humble opinion, it's sort of society's job to understand these patterns and sort of head things off to protect people. If we understand there's an al-Qaeda attack that's coming this way, our job is to go head it off, not clean it up after the bomb goes off. If we have this information, we have this information. We probably could have prevented you from getting what you got based on what we know about your mom's history and the kind of guys she'd be attracted to and who she'd bring into the home. But we choose to act like everyone is an individual. Therefore, we can never really anticipate these things and we can never focus on them and they never get corrected. We just wait around until somebody gets victimized again. It's rudimentary stuff. It's very easy. And I just wish someone would talk about it. We could focus on it and see if we could reverse the trend a little bit. All right. So anyway, you got molested and obviously you're angry at your mom.
46:26🔗AdamObviously it's payback. That's another thing. This is all filled with sort of Loveline cliches. But when somebody worries about devastating their parents because they're telling them, because their dad's a racist and they have to bring home their black boyfriend, it's not about worrying about their dad. It's payback time. It's payback time for your horrible mother.
46:44🔗DrewThis is a little bit different though because she's preoccupying about not doing that, not preoccupying about doing it.
49:01🔗AdamDon't tread on me. Name of the new CD is going to be out in about three, three and a half weeks or so. We'll hear something else off the best of, which is the best of 311, which is the one that or actually the greatest hits. 311. I'm 0 for like 10, because I think there's probably as many best of as there is greatest hits, but I always say the wrong one whenever the band is in here. If they have a best of, I call it the greatest hits and if it's the greatest hits, I call it the best of.
49:29🔗311Well, to us, it's two totally different things because this is just based on like what was on the radio and best of could just be obscure tracks that our fans really love. So did you guys do? We haven't done a best of, but it would just be hard.
49:48🔗311Yeah, there's like a fan's favorite lists and so forth. But as far as putting it into an album, no.
49:54🔗AdamAre you surprised ever by what the fans like based on their notes compared to what you like? Are there songs that you thought weren't so great that they love and vice versa? Or does it seem to be consistent with your thoughts?
50:13🔗311They'll sometimes pick ones that are, you know, we didn't think that people would really like. Like I was talking about that song, Sometimes Jacks Roll The Realm, it's very expansive. It's almost like a, you know, orchestral and how it has no repeating and everything. And it turned out to be a fan favorite, but would never have a chance in hell at being on the radio. So we're pleasantly surprised by the depth of our fans. It's all the time.
50:42🔗AdamWe will, we're gonna give a website out, www.311.com. It's 311, the number.
51:11🔗311In some cities, and I think it was being held for that, and then when they decided not to do it, that we bought it back.
51:17🔗311I thought it was an individual, but hey, it's free advertising every time you go to New York. Every wastebasket has dial 311 instead of 911.
51:26🔗AdamRight, I had, somebody bought my name about 10 years ago, and remember that, Drew? And I just laughed like a hyena, please keep it. I'll give you 50 bucks to hang on to it. Well, Drew, what would I do with a website?
52:21🔗CallerI sure do. First of all, I absolutely love you guys. Cannot wait to see you at The Grove in Anaheim. And would totally love to hear Jack Shurel, The Realm Live. I think that'd be awesome.
52:34🔗311It's a very difficult song and it's really early in the tour. Is there anything else you'd like to hear?
52:41🔗CallerActually, there is. A song you always used to close the shows with. I don't suppose I can say the name on the radio, but F the BS, yes, we know the one.
53:05🔗AdamDo you guys, when you have a good rehearsal, does everyone have a good rehearsal? I mean, is it all like almost just like an energy thing where you all almost agree silently to have a good rehearsal, and then other days you all agree silently to have a bad rehearsal?
53:19🔗311No, I think we always try to do well, but-
53:22🔗AdamNo, I mean, you try every time, but sometimes it's just not happening.
53:28🔗AdamI mean, anyone, I know I'm asking you the question, but I used to do group improv stuff, and it'd be like there'd be nights when everyone was on their period, no one talked about it. It was just a horrible night and everyone sucked. It wasn't like one guy was good and everyone sucked. It was like everyone sucked and the nights where everyone was great. Do you have that as a band, that kind of energy?
53:49🔗311I just think with the transition from doing an album to getting ready to perform these new songs live and everything else and continue our road dominance that we've been focusing on, I think it just goes to a strength thing. Like the first practices aren't that good because we're not that strong, and now that we're about three and a half weeks into rehearsing, we're as strong as we need to be and we're ready to rock.
54:14🔗311But sometimes you'll go, I'll come off stage and be kind of frustrated, and people will be like, that's the best show I've ever seen you do.
54:23🔗311That's a sign of someone that's pushing themselves to another level. So if you get down on yourself about a performance that other people appreciated, you're just taking it to another level. That's how I'm starting to learn how to understand it. Even though I've never had that problem. Every show is great. I screw up. I don't care. I leave it on the stage. But I know Chad has a hard time with some shows. He's just mad after these great shows.
54:48🔗311But it's because he's so great, and he's pushing himself to another level. I just don't understand that I have too much fun on stage. I'm never going to worry about it.
55:03🔗CallerI do have a question about the DVDs. They're so fun to watch. I have them all. I was wondering if you are planning a large to show detail three anytime soon.
55:12🔗311We're filming for it. We filmed quite a bit of the making of this new album. We're going to film some live 15 year anniversary concerts because this is our 15th year since forming on June 10th in 1990. We got a bunch of stuff coming down the line as far as when it'll all be ready to be put together and put out. We don't know, but we'll always be doing things like that.
55:37🔗AdamWhat's the June 10th? What was that date? I mean, how do you... Is it the first time you played or the first time you met or...
55:44🔗311No, we had met. We opened for Fugazi in Omaha, Nebraska. And we were sitting there with our 40Os, even though they don't drink or anything. Wow.
55:57🔗311But that was like the best show we could have could have had because it was like a built in audience of Omaha punks that were ready to slam. Ready to rock. And most of them were our friends.
56:07🔗311And even though we hadn't played a show yet.
56:09🔗AdamThat's the first show that 311 played. But you guys had known each other and obviously rehearsed and that stuff. How long before that? When did you meet?
56:18🔗311Well me and Tim go back to high school days since we were 15. So Tim and I are on our like 20 year anniversary of playing together and elitists. It's a little source of tension. No but and Chad was in the school jazz band with me. So we go back a little further but then we hooked up with Essay and Peanut around 89, 90 or in 90. And then we had our first gig. And that's really where it all starts. This is June 10th, 1990.
56:49🔗AdamBecause Drew's pretty heavily in a Fugazi.
57:25🔗AdamWhat is, but I'm not that familiar with them other than I know who they are, but I don't know what their angle is or what their ramp is.
57:33🔗311Well, they come from Minor Threat, which was a similar punk band. And then, DC. Yeah, DC. But they are so curious, they won't do any interviews with anything that promotes alcohol. Promotes alcohol or tobacco.
57:51🔗311So if you want to interview, you have to take out all the ads out of your pop magazine.
57:58🔗AdamWow. Awesome. I'm angry, but awesome. Well, I'm glad they weren't here, because we were started arguing about something like we started arguing with Chumbawumba.
58:07🔗311Oh, man. That's a battle. There's 20 of them, right?
58:10🔗AdamI know. They're anarchists. They tub thumped Drew's head.
58:15🔗311But they're in a band. How can you be in a band? I'm forming an anarchist club. Anybody who wants to join?
58:28🔗AdamHere's what anarchy is. It's sort of angry without a plan. And whenever you start scraping beneath the surface of their anarchy, there's nothing there. It's like, so wait a minute. One day a jet pilot should be flying commercial aircraft. The next day he should be a garbage man. And the next day he shouldn't be working. And then someone else, a housewife, should get her turn flying the commercial aircraft. How does it, who's picking up the garbage? Like this is awesome, except for the part where nothing's ever going to get done. No roads will be paved, no prisons will be staffed, and no street lights will ever be repaired. There'll be nothing. Which is awesome if you don't have anything, but it sucks if you got a few nice cars in a decent house. Not for this.
1:00:35🔗Well, after the kid, you know, up and down. It was crazy, you know, she was riding high when she was totally pregnant. And then after that, you know, I don't know if it was postpartum or what, but...
1:00:47🔗DrewWell, it's typically let down. Look, one thing that God had right is you're not supposed to get pregnant one right after the other.
1:00:59🔗DrewAnd China. And childbirth. Excuse me, and breastfeeding makes that even more so.
1:01:04🔗AdamCanada got the word, but China and Mexico missed that memo. They were so busy laughing, they didn't go out and check the mail.
1:01:11🔗DrewSo, the let down of the drop in hormones can drop people's sex drive. And sometimes, getting on a birth control pill, something like that to restore the hormones will help restore the sex drive.
1:01:19🔗AdamWhat about certain cultures like China, Mexico, that seem to crank out the kids?
1:01:40🔗DrewThey don't have a kid every nine months, they have like every 18.
1:01:43🔗AdamThat's about 10 or 11. But if you checked the libido of a woman from India, China, up against a woman from Sweden or Denmark or United States, do you think that postpartum thing, do you think it would evolve any differently? Is there any difference?
1:02:05🔗DrewI don't know if it's been looked into. I don't know the answer to that. I would bet there could be differences.
1:02:09🔗AdamMaybe the difference is in the guys. Here's another thing, too. I think certain countries are talking about, Chick says no, that means no. Chick says no, it's like, all right, I'll be fast.
1:02:20🔗311But isn't there a kind of a thing that...
1:02:23🔗311In more developed, more financially well-off cultures, they place a lot more emphasis on the whole, am I depressed, am I not depressed, places like that.
1:02:34🔗AdamYeah, I agree. I don't know that some of these cultures we're talking about can even afford to be depressed. They don't have the luxury of being depressed.
1:02:45🔗AdamAre you physically able? Yes, get to work. You know what I mean? It's like, well, I have Epstein-Barr syndrome. Get to work. I have chronic fatigue.
1:03:23🔗311Just be patient. Try not to take it too seriously.
1:03:27🔗311Try and keep her out of the mosh pit at the show.
1:03:29🔗DrewShe will have libido in the third trimester. Again, God's one of God's many tricks on humans. When she's fully pregnant, that's when she'll have to come up with special positions.
1:03:53🔗DrewBut I think more it's what creates the letdown afterwards. But they're flooded with hormones, their system gets downregulated and then it just shuts off.
1:03:59🔗AdamBut be a mama. A couple of thousand years ago, if a chick was pregnant, she might pass, you know, might be with more than one guy. At the early stages and therefore plenty of confusion surrounding who the actual, who sired the kid.
1:04:17🔗DrewYeah, but when she gets more horny later in the pregnancy, more guys.
1:04:21🔗AdamYou know, by then, you know who the dad is because he's only with the one guy. Know what I'm saying? Listen, there's got to be something they can do other than have sex with you when they get into that eighth month. Well, you know what I mean? Like what you do in high school. You know what I mean? Work it out.
1:05:24🔗DrewDiscovery Health Channel Midnight Wednesday. That's right. Which is now we're talking about phobias on the show. And one of the things. Yeah. And one of the phobias men have is about pregnancy and having sex during pregnancy. That's what they're afraid of. And they have, lots of men have all kinds of sort of fantasies, even when they sort of know better, they still become convinced that the child's watching, the child's going to feel it, the child's going to grab the penis, the child's going to come down.
1:05:47🔗DrewYeah, and so there's sort of a primitive sort of a preoccupational on those lines, but you can get over that and get on with it. No? You can get over it?
1:05:54🔗AdamWell, here's the thing, you're a man of passion, exquisite passion. And that passion is so great that there's no obstacle, no hurdle large enough to prevent that passion from finding its mark. Do you know what I'm saying? There's no tampon big enough, there's no woman pregnant enough, there's no penis drunk enough to prevent that passion. I don't share your passion for anything.
1:06:31🔗AdamI do share that. But what I'm saying is there's a whole range of sort of libido's even within men. And some guys are a little more like chicks. I got a little more of that. Which is, well, I'd definitely be a horny chick. Don't get me wrong. I'd be a slut. But you're all man. I mean, for you, it's business.
1:06:58🔗AdamI just mean it's a visceral, you need to eat and you need to eat every day. You know what I'm saying? For me, I'm like a cat, I'm a little finicky. I sniff it, I'll be up on the sofa.
1:07:13🔗AdamI walk the tail up so you can see my a-hole. That's the one thing I got to do with my dog. I got to get a dog's tail that my dog has a prodigious a-hole. It's like the size of a silver dollar. It actually moves when she barks and stuff in her tail.
1:07:30🔗AdamIt tails up like the dog from the Archie's Cartoon. It actually goes up in bows and hits her in the back of the neck. It's just that a-hole I stare at when she stands in the French door, just bellows at the side of the mountain.
1:08:35🔗DrewAll I'm saying, Drew, is you drew sex drive.
1:08:39🔗AdamYes. You're a passionate, passionate man. I don't share your passion and I'm good with it. But if there's an obstacle, then I can wait it out. You know what I mean? Three months is a long time, so there's got to be something done. You don't have to call in a hooker or something like that.
1:08:58🔗Adam311 in studio tonight. Going to hear a oldie but a goodie from 311 off of the greatest hits. We'll do that when we come back after this.
1:09:11🔗CallerLove Line will be right back, so get your problems ready.
1:09:18🔗How do we know what incredibly voluptuous guest model Diora Baird looks like when she takes off her jeans and everything else? We have pictures. See them in the August Playboy on Newsstands now.
1:09:44🔗CallerYeah, Loveline, Adam, that's Dr. Drew.
1:09:51🔗CallerOh, like the Gorillaz. We hate the Gorillaz.
1:10:47🔗311The next album, he's talking to the helicopters, he's gathering children's toys from the neighborhood, he's lining up rocks and doing all these weird schizophrenic things.
1:11:04🔗AdamWow. It is amazing what you'll put up with or endure when you don't know any better and you're green. It's just that's the way it is. This is all producers and who's going to say anything?
1:11:17🔗311What were you going to say about Librium? I mean, I know nothing about it.
1:11:20🔗DrewIt's just a valium. It's just going from alcohol to valium to whatever.
1:11:23🔗AdamWhy do you take Librium? Do they have it anymore?
1:16:14🔗AdamForgot how much I like that song. That's off the, I was going to say the greatest hits, but it is the greatest hits.
1:16:20🔗311Originally off Sound System, is the album it came from.
1:16:25🔗AdamAlso, the new CD is called Don't Tread On Me, and that is coming out in about three and a half weeks. That'll be on August 16th. Always a Tuesday, right? I guess so. That's the-
1:16:40🔗AdamTook me about 10 years to figure out that every time a band came in here, their CD came out on Tuesday. It took about nine years for me to make the connection between them.
1:17:03🔗AdamI'll tell you, I would like a- Dog Fish. I would like a battle of the suck ass bands. We'll put the Dog Star up against the Bacon Brothers. Maybe Russell Crowe put his band in there.
1:17:14🔗311Was that nine foot pounds of some flaming man?
1:18:25🔗AdamRemember the first time they came in here wearing those Mexican wrestling masks? They scared the crap out of me because they're huge guys. And they're intimidating. Yeah, but nice. Sweetest sugar of those insane clam posses.
1:18:54🔗AdamHello. Listen, we got to get some substance. What the hell? What do we got? Save us. Lethal or what? What's the insane clown posse guy's name? Violent J. We got to get him. It's a good name. Shaggy. I got to get the guys a voiceover agent.
1:19:33🔗CallerOkay. Well, my question is, I have a four-year-old boy. He's going to be five next month. And I basically sleep with just underwear on and with him.
1:19:47🔗CallerRight. I wanted to know how much of an effect. I mean, I know that I'm not going to keep on doing it as he gets older, but up until now, I've been doing it.
1:20:01🔗DrewAll right. Generally, people think that's not a great idea. Now, let me sort of, by way of joking, express that it's not such a horrible thing. I mean, you could say, for instance, oh yeah, one of the things you want to do is make sure you shame your boy about bodies and make him feel uncomfortable and weird around people who are naked.
1:20:19🔗DrewYou don't want to do that, of course. There's something positive in this. On the other hand, by not letting him to have his own bed and his own room and his own separateness from you, you're giving him the message that he can't handle that. And that's not healthy.
1:20:33🔗CallerI mean, I understand, you know, I know that he's supposed to get his own bed and everything, but you know, since I'm, you know, it's me and him, and I don't know, we have a connection, you know, I'm a single mother.
1:20:42🔗DrewAgain, the message to him is, I need you, I can't survive without you, and by the way, I don't think you can handle being separate from me. That's a horrible message.
1:20:50🔗AdamEveryone has a connection with their kid theoretically.
1:20:53🔗DrewThis is all about you, and you've got to realize he needs some things. He needs to be able to separate and feel autonomous and feel that he is able to be okay in the world without you.
1:21:04🔗311Because one day when he's 18 years old, you're gonna be having to kick him out of the place.
1:21:07🔗DrewOh, it'll be worse than that. That'd be the best thing that could happen if he's okay like that at 18. But you're gonna, he needs to have a sense of separateness. That's what growing up is. That's what being a person is.
1:21:19🔗AdamI'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the apartment is not so big.
1:21:23🔗AdamThat he'd ever be more than 8 feet away from you anyway.
1:21:25🔗CallerI'm being a little bit greedy by saying I want my bedroom to look just like, you know, not, I mean I could put a little bed but I kind of like the big bed and you know, the comfort of him being there and me.
1:21:37🔗AdamAlright, well look, don't listen to us and just ruin the kid.
1:21:42🔗CallerWell I wouldn't have been on hold if I didn't want your advice.
1:21:45🔗DrewHello. We just gave it to you three times. You're dismissing it.
1:21:49🔗CallerNo, the best thing would be to just get him a separate bed. That's what you're saying.
1:21:52🔗DrewNot the best thing. You are acting out your needs on the child rather than giving him what he needs. Do you understand what I mean by that? A child needs to separate slowly and in doses that he can tolerate. But the message he needs to get is, I'll be fine. Don't have to worry about me because if he's busy caretaking for you, he can't get his needs met. And I know you can handle being separate and we're going to give you a separate space to be separate.
1:22:23🔗AdamThat's one thing my parents did well. Hey, I got a Pop Warner football game. Enjoy. Yeah, it's championship. Yeah, yeah. Don't let the screen door hit you on the way out.
1:22:32🔗AdamWhat's for dinner? I don't know. What you make? Yeah. It's awesome. It was like living in a flop house. It was awesome. Yeah. They did a great job at that trip. Drew, if that's how you measure great parents, I'm all wrong about them.
1:22:46🔗DrewAnd again, I don't want to tell her that it's a bad thing to be close to your child. Of course, I would not do it to shame him about bodies. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that her inability to separate makes it all about her and that is the opposite of what a child needs. What a child needs from parenting is what's all about them.
1:23:02🔗AdamHere's the other thing too I learned from watching my autopsy show on HBO. A lot of, not with the five-year-olds, but with the infants, roll over deaths. Big mama has a couple of beers, rolls over on junior, suffocates them. Kids need to be in a crib. If mama's had a couple of boozies or a little sleeping disorder and rolls over on the kid, they suffocate all the time. It's like 70 times more dangerous to sleep with your mom than it is to sleep in the crib.
1:23:34🔗311Yep, so Jasmine, if you're a big girl, do it now.
1:23:37🔗AdamYeah, it was heartbreaking. Dr. Bodden had to explain, the guy's a forensic guy, had to explain to the mom who's lost a couple of kids, don't worry, you're off the hook. I mean, you didn't kill the kid in the eyes of the law, you just rolled over on the kid. Yeah, she went out drinking, slept with the kid, rolled over on the kid.
1:24:01🔗DrewBy the way, if that's not in the eyes of the law, it should be.
1:24:04🔗AdamWell, considering there were a couple other kids that didn't make it in her brood.
1:25:05🔗How do we know what incredibly voluptuous guest model Diora Baird looks like when she takes off her jeans and everything else? We have pictures. See them in the August Playboy on Newsstands now.
1:26:51🔗AdamOh, how did the guy give her a yeast infection?
1:26:54🔗DrewIt wouldn't be. There is such a thing called oral thrush that people get if they have AIDS or when they're immune suppression, cancer patients, that sort of thing. It can happen in other situations too, people using drugs, drinking, on psychiatric medications sometimes even. But that's not usually-
1:27:07🔗AdamThis is just sort of screwing with the flora and fauna.
1:27:09🔗DrewThis is just changing the environment there. Yeah. That gives them-
1:27:16🔗DrewHow do you know it's yeast infections, Carla, and not an STD or a vaginitis?
1:27:20🔗311No, it's nothing like that. I've done tested everything else. The first time it happened was like a month ago, and I took one of the little pill and it went away in a day.
1:27:31🔗311Yeah, but like this time I got it again. The guy did oral again and I don't know, a few days later, but he was drinking alcohol. Could that have something to do with it?
1:27:40🔗DrewI guess it could, but it's not- I wouldn't- It could, yeah.
1:27:45🔗AdamI don't think that is a good sign that your leading man had to have a couple of boozes before he got into the bedroom with you. You know what I'm saying?
1:27:52🔗311Yeah, I don't know, but that's what he does to relax, and he's one of those big guys known for his acting skills, I should say. But yeah.
1:28:01🔗DrewWell, all those guys are known for their acting, aren't they? Oh, the thespians. Yes, that's-
1:28:06🔗AdamYes. Carly said you've done how many films?
1:28:09🔗311Like five. I've done five tomorrow and five day on my six and seven. I'm actually doing very well. I've only been in it for like, what, a month and I've done five years.
1:28:18🔗311Okay, you're doing well cash wise, but how do you feel about yourself doing this?
1:28:22🔗311Oh, that's- Oh, God. This is like the best career for me at this point. I'm saving money for culinary school.
1:28:33🔗311All right. It's a good thing. And I know when I'm getting myself into them. I wasn't abused. I wasn't anything as a kid. So that's out of the picture.
1:28:42🔗AdamOkay. Well, that's all behind you. And I'm going to go. I know wrong. You know, my Jewish or Asian thing. Jewish. Am I right, Carla?
1:28:54🔗AdamI've been wrong almost every time. I just can't. I drew. And you know, I have good instincts about things. Shocking. Wrong every time on this one. And how much money do you make per movie?
1:29:05🔗311About 800. And it's about two hour scenes.
1:29:30🔗AdamNow, I know, but here's the reason you're getting a little more compensation is because this guy shows it to his buddies and has a good laugh five years from now and you get divorced over it. See, so you have to be.
1:29:43🔗311My boyfriend's so supportive. My boyfriend's on set with me. And like anytime I need like a tissue paper to dry up the sweat, I think he's right there.
1:31:14🔗DrewMy mom's like that's fine. She's really supportive actually. Where's your dad?
1:31:18🔗311My dad is, he's around, he works a lot. So he's a security guard. So I see him here and there, but he's at home. We have a great life. It's not like, I noticed you might say I was abused because I'm doing this, but no, nothing ever happened and that's all right.
1:31:36🔗AdamWell, you have the support of your mom, you have your boyfriend there manning the wet naps, just out of camera frame. All right, baby. Well, as your people say, Mazel Tov, she did say she was Jew?
1:32:31🔗311For what? I couldn't understand that one. No, don't worry.
1:32:34🔗AdamI'm just saying on normal sets, you break for lunch a little bit late, you get a little bump, you get a little meal penalty, they call it. So what do you mean, Carla?
1:32:45🔗AdamThere's something going on. Well, now I don't know, could she have not been abused and she just has a sort of a little loose circuit kind of thing?
1:32:58🔗DrewI think possibly. Because you have to wonder what's going to happen as this stuff becomes more and more mainstream. You know what I mean?
1:33:16🔗DrewThat's the barriers to going into there.
1:33:18🔗AdamThat's a big deal. I saw the e-true Hollywood story on Jenna Jamison tonight. I realized that most teenage boys probably just look at her as a celebrity, like Pam Anderson is a celebrity or whoever. Well, you know what I mean? But what I mean is you, Jennifer Love Hewitt, some foxy chick that they grew up kind of digging.
1:33:46🔗AdamAnything with the word woman at the end. Here's my thing. If it's got the word woman at the end of it, I'm into it. If you've got the word mix at the end of it, like Fiesta Mix or Trail Mix or Chex Mix, I'm out.
1:34:03🔗AdamIf it begins with drink, I'm gone, daddy. Gone. Do you hear me? All right. Drink, punch, and mix, gone. Woman, in. We'll take a quick break. We'll be right back after this. Well, 311, where did the time go? We helped 3 1 2 people.
1:35:17🔗AdamNick's outraged because normally comes in here loaded and gives mastermatorial techniques for two hours, but this time, we helped 3 1 2 people up on his high horse. So judgmental.
1:35:27🔗311I'm just so pleased to be back after my terrible gaffe. Thank you.
1:35:34🔗AdamI say good day too. Well, that's the show. Don't tread on me, everyone. Name CD out in about three and a half weeks, three and 11, always a pleasure to come back anytime.
