0:57🔗VoiceoverLoveline is meant for an adult audience. Loveline may contain sexually-oriented content. Listener discretion is advised. This is Loveline. With Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
1:20🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody, it's Loveline. Well, not really Adam Corolla. I'm Dr. Drew. The phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. Corolla is in New York City and in his stead Mark Hoppus, Blink-182.
2:01🔗AdamYeah, that was interesting. That was more awkward than when you try and talk to a guy when you're standing next to him with the urinal.
2:06🔗DrewWay worse. I'd much rather we've been peeing next to each other. Yeah. That has certainly manly quality to it.
2:11🔗AdamYeah, getting our hair washed next to one another, I didn't know where I was supposed to look or where my hands were supposed to be. It was really awkward.
2:17🔗DrewYeah, with the fact that I am gay. You had him on your junk the whole time. I didn't quite know what that meant, but whatever.
2:23🔗DrewI guess, I guess so. Again, the phone number is 1-800-LOVE-191. Mark's going to be my co-host tonight. He's got a new band with Travis called Plus 44. You guys are in the studio with that now?
2:52🔗AdamYeah, it was great. She was really happy to have just a lot of equipment sitting in our dining room for a long time.
2:57🔗DrewOh yeah, waiting for your three-year-old to get electrocuted. It's a beautiful thing.
3:01🔗AdamIt's great. My kid loves the studio. It's really cool. When we were recording the last Blink album, he was in the studio all the time and he really thinks it's a cool thing to go to the studio, so it's rad.
3:09🔗DrewOh really? That's nice. Now, your wife has a new clothing line called Childish Clothing.
3:21🔗AdamYeah, actually I met her. She used to work at MTV and I met her. We did Loveline. I met her again in the Bahamas when we were there playing a show, and then I actually started to hang out with her. We were shooting all the Small Things video here in Los Angeles. Yeah.
3:38🔗AdamShe just happened to be in the Bahamas, yeah. She kept booking us on all these shows, and afterwards I come to find out that she really just really needed to have me and just kept booking us until I noticed her.
3:49🔗DrewOh, she mentioned it to me when you showed up on our show.
3:56🔗DrewI'm going to be right here when this happens.
3:58🔗AdamNo, she's really busy with her clothing company, and that's going great for her, and she's rad.
4:02🔗DrewAnd then Blink has the greatest hitset. We're going to hear a song from that called Not Now in a Few Minutes. And two of those songs have never been released before, and we're going to hear one of them. But for now, let us go to the phone, shall we?
4:28🔗Well, first of all, I just like to say that I'm gay, and I've only, when I have sex, like I was with somebody for a year and a half, and whenever she would go down on me, it just would happen too fast. Like I would come too fast, and it was kind of aggravating because I just wanted it to last longer, and I was wondering if there was any way that I could make it last longer, but still, you know, come.
4:59🔗DrewMark, you've had lots of lesbian experiences.
5:02🔗AdamI'm really not the one to ask about lasting longer. I'm sorry. I wish I had some.
5:07🔗DrewWe're learning a thing or two about Mark.
5:09🔗AdamYeah. Man, when I was 16, I didn't even have sex yet.
5:16🔗DrewAll right. Well, Jessica, how about a second round? Yeah.
5:20🔗I mean, it's still fast. I mean, I can, it'll like maybe a minute to four minutes, and that's how fast it takes. I mean, it doesn't take very long at all.
5:32🔗DrewBut maybe you're one of these multi-orgasmic people. You just can have one right after the other until exhaustion.
5:37🔗Yeah, I am. I mean, I've had multiple orgasms in a short amount of time, but I just wish it would just last longer, and I feel kind of uncomfortable.
5:47🔗DrewI think, A, you have to work with your partner on that one if you want to try to have just a single large orgasm. But if you, why not go with the way your biology is sort of configured, which is frequent? You know, I mean, people would die for this. A lot of women have difficulty of orgasms. You're someone that could probably have 20 or 30, and just one right after the other.
6:28🔗Good. All right, I have a question about sour semen. Yeah, classy. OK, well, here's the story. Me and my boyfriend, when we have sex, I'm on birth control, but we don't use a condom. But so I don't feel comfortable with him ejaculating inside me. So instead, he pulls out right before. And, you know, I hold on.
6:58🔗Yes. I don't know. I'm on the patch or whoever.
7:00🔗DrewOn the patch. So you don't need to use condoms.
7:03🔗All right. Yeah, I don't. We usually do, but we just didn't have any left.
7:07🔗DrewSo why are you concerned? You're on the pill. Why are you concerned about this?
7:12🔗No, I'm concerned about the taste of his semen.
7:16🔗DrewI see. So that's why you don't want to be exposed to semen. You're worried he's got an STD or something.
7:20🔗Yeah, but because it's never happened before before. Okay, so that same night, it was about the fourth time that I had to give him oral and... What?
7:57🔗But yeah, so the fourth time, it just, it just tasted, you know, it tasted like a bad cucumber, you know? And I was just like, wow, that was interesting. I got a bad one. But yeah, I was just wondering if that, imagine that was the first time it's ever tasted bad. Like, out of the, I don't know how many times that, you know.
8:20🔗AdamWell, I mean, because it'd be, because you're really at that point after four times, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. I mean, that's not, you know.
8:28🔗He said it must have been like the end of the, you know, like that must have been the bottom of the tank or something. And I was just like, yeah, I guess. And I didn't really think anything of it, but I wasn't sure because it, you know, I never.
8:39🔗DrewIt doesn't, there can be all kinds of funky tastes. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Okay. It doesn't not mean anything by the same token. If he's concerned that he has something, if he has a discharge or hurts when he pees, that sort of thing, that'll be looked into. Smell is more a thing I'd say than taste. If there's a foul smell, that's more a sign of infection than, oh, fuck you taste.
8:59🔗Okay. Then I think it's probably okay. But can, can I say something quick on behalf? I know Adam's not here, but I think I did something I think he'd be proud of.
9:15🔗Well, I went through one just for him. And it was pretty cool because it was super long and everyone behind me followed. So well done, Sarah Renegade, civil disobedience. I was like, this is for Adam. And it was, it was wonderful.
9:32🔗DrewJust sorry you didn't get your lights to suspend and fold over.
9:38🔗DrewAnd I was like, okay, you're a responsible, responsible adult, even though you're 17. I got a question about the fact that Adam is encouraging this in young people's rural. You had a question about why?
9:49🔗AdamIs it true that if you eat certain types of fruits or certain type of food, it changes the taste of the?
9:55🔗DrewNot that I've ever seen substantiated. I really have grave doubt about that whole thing.
10:12🔗DrewAnd think about it. If you ate marshmallows and strawberries and whipped cream for three days, your poo gonna taste any, smell be any different? Really?
10:22🔗DrewYou know what I mean? Things come out of your, basically it's like trying to get something to come out of your pancreas differently. These are exocrine glands. They're not some sort of tube that goes from your gut. People get very confused about stuff that's absorbed into your system. Where it goes, what happens to it, how it gets into other parts of your body.
10:38🔗AdamBut when you eat garlic, you smell like garlic afterwards.
10:47🔗DrewWell, it's gotta be something. You're right. There's stuff that could get into your exocrine sweat glands somehow, but it's not as though it's like, how does it get there? These are specialized glands that are out inside your body. So it doesn't make sense. Let's get a question from Mark. It's Jen19.
12:06🔗DrewWell, hang on a second. Let him set it straight. Go ahead.
12:08🔗AdamI'd like to go on record as saying that that's not true, but I find it fascinating. There's a lot of cool things that happen like this that we actually have incorporated into our band. What's that?
12:21🔗No coincidence whatsoever. And also the fact that you in the song, all of this, you change it to he instead of she.
12:38🔗DrewNo cryptic. But listen, you can let it go, let it go. Don't spend your time on this. It's not healthy thinking to be obsessing about stuff like that.
12:47🔗AdamI'm interested, what was the logic on the untitled CD?
12:51🔗It's just like the lyrics to it, they're very paranoid.
12:57🔗AdamOn all of this? Well we didn't write the lyrics to all of this. Those were lyrics written by...
13:01🔗It's not just the lyrics to that. It's like the song Doe.
13:29🔗AdamI haven't spoken with Tom in a long time. Good enough. But you know what's interesting is there was a theory that was started online because, you know, we had this demo tape that had this shape on it that kind of looked like an A. And then the next album was called The Buddha Record. And then after that it was Cheshire Cat and then Dude Ranch and then Enema of the State. And so people thought that Blink was releasing albums alphabetically. And so there was this big theory online that we were doing all this stuff and we actually ended up incorporating that.
13:59🔗AdamYeah, we ended up using it because, oh, and then on the live record there was a famous Stars and Straps sticker on Travis' bass drum that had an F on it. So that was counted as the alphabetical on that. And then we released Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. We intentionally put a G on the cover.
14:14🔗DrewHere's the deal by human beings. They take random events and they try to render meaning out of them.
14:20🔗DrewThe humans desire to know that's all they do. They try to make sense of things. And more often than not, when they're paranoid, they make sense. That's nonsense.
14:28🔗DrewThey just they just make order out of non order.
14:31🔗AdamDid we and did we mess people up by doing that?
14:34🔗DrewNo, but it's so ridiculous that people do that and insist upon it. And you're trying to make music.
14:40🔗AdamYeah. But I think it's interesting, though. I don't know. I think that all the... I don't know. There's lots of stuff like that that goes on that I find interesting, even though it's not true. Sorry, it's not true.
15:04🔗DrewWell, I don't read mammograms, but I know it can affect the accuracy of mammogram reading. But I don't think it's a big deal anymore. I think they're pretty much with ultrasounds and whatnot can work around that.
15:14🔗Oh, OK. And I actually have one more question.
15:16🔗DrewWhy? What's going on with you? What are you planning?
15:18🔗Well, I want to get implants, but my mom just died of breast cancer that she had in like 16 years.
15:28🔗DrewMaybe you want to get the genetic testing to make sure you don't have the BRCA gene and are at very high risk for breast cancer, because if you are, when you get the implants, they can take out the breast tissue at the same time and just really put some implants in. So like preventative removal of mastectomy? I'm not recommending that, but I'm saying it's something to think about since you're going to go to the knife anyway.
15:52🔗DrewI'm saying they might be a good idea, because you might be able to take out the breast tissue that could be putting you at risk for cancer. This is Ian 14. Mark, this is a game called Germany or Florida.
16:46🔗A 16 year old student bit into a razor blade while eating a chicken sandwich he purchased at his school. Medical reports show that the boy was not injured. Investigators do not know how the razor got in the sandwich, as no razors are used in the manufacturing process. Germany or Florida.
17:02🔗DrewThere's a lot of razor talk around Halloween. Yeah, always. When you were a kid, did you always get to get apples with razors in them and check the food before somebody put stuff in it?
17:09🔗AdamBut the strange thing was that it was only in apples.
17:23🔗AdamIt was probably actually propagated by kids that didn't want to eat the apples and they just want to eat the candy so they make up this crazy excuse.
19:10🔗AdamYou know what? Honestly, these are not problems.
19:13🔗DrewThese are not problems. These are not problems, right?
19:15🔗AdamOh, I have lots of orgasms in a night. Oh, my boyfriend goes four times. Oh, I have an erection for two hours. I want people with actual problems. I want to feel good about myself. I'm leaving here humiliated and shamed about my own self.
19:42🔗But at first he was taking them like he's supposed to, but now he just crushes them up and shoots them up just like it was heroin.
19:49🔗DrewWell, that's what happens to buprenics. In my experience, the buprenics for anything other than opiate withdrawal has been catastrophes. Really? People that use it long-term get strung out on it, abuse it, get going again. It's very close relative of heroin. It has what's called a partial antagonist effect, so it's hard to overdose on it and hard to get high on it. But believe me, addicts find ways to do it. So your friend needs to be in a hospital and get detoxed.
20:14🔗But I mean, is it in any way healthier than actually doing heroin?
20:17🔗DrewNo. In my experience, it's actually worse because the detox is worse.
20:21🔗DrewYeah. It's the same thing. It's an opiate. He's got to get in the hospital. He needs six months somewhere. He's in, baby. Brian, he's really seriously ill. Yeah. He needs to get detoxed and go into a residential program. It's been a few months focusing on this because he's not going to live to see 30 if he doesn't.
20:52🔗Or whatever at the most. But I take drug tests once a week for probation. And I smoke weed like five days a week. Then I just take two days off and I drink a bunch of water. And I pass my drug test every single time.
21:24🔗DrewThat's a different phenomenon entirely. So you can't really say that. You're lucky. You know, when people ask me, am I going to pass a drug test? I have to tell them the worst case scenario, right? Right. So you're one of the best case scenarios.
22:24🔗I was actually asking, what about Plus 44? Are you most looking forward to doing with it as far as creativity and stuff like that?
22:33🔗AdamI'm just doing a bunch of different stuff. I mean, we've only just started the whole process of Plus 44, so it's really taking shape in a bunch of different ways. We have ideas for 16 songs demoed out, and like I said, we're about to go into the studio, and it's very schizophrenic already. I don't really know what shape it's going to take, but it's going to be fascinating.
22:50🔗DrewSomething with Travis schizophrenic? You're kidding.
22:53🔗AdamWell, there's all these different influences. I mean, Travis has all these different beats, and we have all these different ideas, and we're working with our friend Carol, who plays guitar and sings, and our other friends are coming in and playing instruments as well. It's just, it's kind of all over the place, but very inspiring to try these different things out, and it's going to be a lot of fun.
23:11🔗DrewCool. Actually, you guys come back up here when you want to do that, please?
23:14🔗DrewI mean, Mark, it's only been, hey, let's see, today's, today's, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven years since we've seen you here in the show. It's all right.
23:20🔗AdamHey, I thought that we held the record. I thought I held the record for most times, except for-
23:24🔗DrewYeah, but you've been passed up by many people.
23:27🔗AdamAll right, I'm taking up permanent residence, though.
23:30🔗DrewFair enough. When the new CD comes out. All right, we're going to take a break now. We come back. We're going to talk to Ryan. We're going to keep the pop topic going. For right now, the phone number here is 1-800-LOVE-191. Mark Hoppus in for Adam Corolla.
23:49🔗Keep things up with new Durex Warming Condoms.
23:54🔗DrewIt's Love Line, 1-800-LOVE-1-9-1. I'm Dr. Drew, he is Mark Hoppus, Blink 182. And we are going right back to the phones. We're keeping this marijuana topic alive. Joey, 25.
25:07🔗DrewIt'll raise your estrogen levels. It can actually even give you breast development, some men, particularly around puberty age. But if you stop smoking, everything should go back to normal. So it's not as though there's, I'm not aware of any evidence of chronic injury to your testicular function.
25:21🔗You can actually, it increases your estrogen levels. So is there any way to counteract that or?
25:40🔗DrewYes. And if you want, and if you want to not have the deleterious effects of the drug, go ahead and, it's one of the most addictive drugs we deal with for some people.
25:51🔗DrewOh, it's a horrible drug for people to give up.
25:53🔗AdamIt also increases my laying in the ground, curled up in a ball, thinking that people are talking about me through the walls.
25:59🔗DrewWell, that's why you're not, you couldn't be a marijuana addict because, because people that become marijuana addicted love how they feel.
26:04🔗I can definitely agree to that. Marijuana is the most addictive drug.
26:07🔗DrewYeah. Well, for some people. No, not for everybody, Joey. But I would tell you that people that, let's say you were to go on to other things, pot would be the one that you would miss the most.
26:16🔗AdamI feel like I'm left out of some joke or something because I-
26:19🔗DrewYou don't have the gene. You don't have that gene. And it's unfortunate on some respects.
26:23🔗AdamLike everybody else is having fun and everything else that I just, when I have tried to smoke pot before, it just really makes me paranoid in a bad, bad way.
26:32🔗DrewYeah. And that's how you know you don't have that gene because someone who's going to get addicted gets high, goofy a couple of times, but the third time it's, oh my God, this is the greatest thing ever. And that's all you think about from that after. And you use it every day and it's a natural herb. It's good for you. It's medicinal. And you're in. That's it. And it's like heroin when it comes time to stop. It's very difficult to get people off it. Monique, 19.
26:57🔗My question is, well, me and my boyfriend, we're trying to get pregnant or whatever.
27:02🔗DrewWhy? You're 19? You're not married? What's the plan here?
27:06🔗CallerWell, it's just like my family, like, well, especially like my mom, she just like asked for that, you know, alone.
27:14🔗DrewShe wants, she wants, she, well, yes, thank you.
27:16🔗AdamYou can't have a kid to make your mom happy. Your mom will be happy if you have a kid in five years, 10 years.
27:22🔗DrewI never thought those words would be spoken on this show, but you're right. But one of the things we do leave out on this show, we are not culturally sensitive with Mr. Corolla going off about different ethnicities and things, but the reality is that, yes, in certain Hispanic populations, young girls are encouraged to get pregnant by the mom.
27:40🔗CallerYeah, well, that's half Hispanic, half black, so, yeah, it's just like my mom expects it now.
27:48🔗CallerNot really, and sometimes, yeah. And like we've been trying to do it for a while now, and it's like, I don't know if it's him or me, but it's not working at all.
28:01🔗CallerI've been with him for two years and for the past two months, we've been trying to, so.
28:07🔗DrewWell, you think you're gonna get pregnant instantly?
28:09🔗AdamThat's the thing, that's as crazy as like, when I was growing up, so paranoid every time I had sex. Oh my God, did I get my girlfriend pregnant?
28:16🔗DrewBut that's the time it's going to happen.
29:20🔗AdamYou know, I don't know what the future holds. You know, 10 years ago, I never would have thought that I'd be sitting here with Dr. Drew talking to you.
29:31🔗DrewChad, it's been a moment that you've always thought. You've dreamt, dreamt of, and here you are.
29:50🔗AdamI help with marketing. I help with Atticus for those of you who don't know. How's that? How's that for radio knowledge? Atticus Clothing, for those of you that don't know, is a clothing company that I am a partner in. My involvement with Atticus is with the design and the marketing. We actually have people that run the business and the day-to-day things that are amazing at that.
30:09🔗DrewCoincidentally, there's a website www.atticusclothing.com.
30:12🔗Adamatticusclothing.com for your clothing needs.
30:15🔗DrewIs there somebody on Line 7 I'm supposed to be talking to? I see that that usually means a VIP caller. Yeah, I don't know what that is, but let's keep moving here. This is Kristen, 21.
30:28🔗CallerOh, hey, Mark. I just want to say hi to Mark and, well, you too, Dr. Drew. But yeah, I have a weird question. Okay. I'm eight months pregnant right now, and I have been getting these really weird sex dreams.
30:41🔗CallerI wanted to know if there was any correlation between being pregnant and having weird dreams.
30:47🔗DrewWell, one of God's many, many, many jokes on humanity, particularly on men, is when a woman is in their last trimester pregnancy, they get very horny and have all kinds of wild sexual fantasies that are sort of spontaneous and unusually intense. And it can be weird. It can be weird. Because you're on drugs when you're that far in your pregnancy. Your placenta is pumping so much hormones into your system that you're effectively on a drug. And you're very swollen and congested down there, making things more easily aroused and away you go.
31:18🔗CallerOkay, and I have a comment. Can I throw that out there?
31:22🔗DrewIf you stop breathing directly into the phone like that, you're making it freaking us out. What is it?
31:27🔗CallerMark, I just wanted to say that Blink was a great band and I'm going to miss you.
31:31🔗DrewWas a great band? Wait a minute. What do you mean?
31:41🔗CallerHiatus. You guys are great and wonderful. I love everything you guys do. And Mark, I hope you talk to Tom again sometime because you guys were the best.
31:51🔗DrewWell, you know what? I would second it because you're both great. All three of you guys are great guys. You know what I mean? It's rare that a band has just great guys and that everyone loves and whatever. So, you know, there you go.
32:10🔗CallerHi, Mark. I've met you numerous times and I want to thank you completely for that. For taking your time to talk to me. And my question is in regards to, I relate to your songs so much and it's hard to believe that anybody can write a song that I completely relate to like to the fullest extent. And I want to know if those, what you write about is based on real life things.
32:36🔗AdamYeah, pretty much everything that we write about is based on things that happen to us or things that happen to our friends.
32:42🔗DrewHow old were you when you started writing music?
32:49🔗DrewWhich is it? That's what I imagine. Because it's a lot of 20 year olds relate to that stuff. It's very pertinent to any 20 year old.
32:56🔗AdamCool. Yeah, I mean, we've always tried to write from the heart, things that happened to us, things are important to us. And it's interesting because people say like your song affected us or affected me in a certain way. And it's strange to think that it's just as much a trip for me to think that something that we wrote affected people that we've never met before. And you go to countries around the world and there's people in Japan.
33:33🔗AdamThere was one stoplight in town when I grew up. And when there was a second stoplight installed, the mayor came out and cut the tape and there was a parade.
33:41🔗DrewI can see where you got your cultural influence. A very rich, romantic region of the country, the world really. And so very, very rich cultural influence. That's good.
34:02🔗AdamI went to Cal State San Marcos and Palomar, Palomar, is that what it's called? Palomar Junior College? Yeah, yeah, cool. Went there. Here's the thing with me in college. I went to a couple of years at Palomar, did great, got great grades, and then I transferred to Cal State San Marcos and I was an English major. So I just started taking all these English classes and at the end of my second year there, about four years in college, I went and I talked to my counselor and I said, hey, what happens with graduation? Am I supposed to sign up for something? The counselor pulled up my file and said, you're nowhere near graduation, you don't have any chemistry, you don't have any physical education stuff. I was two years short of my degree because I had taken so many English classes.
34:53🔗AdamHe was actually touring with the Aquabats at the time. We met him on tour. I forgot that he was an Aquabat. We instantly became friends with Travis.
35:00🔗DrewWas he all suited up like an Aquabat at the time?
35:02🔗AdamHe didn't suit up, no, he didn't wear the full suit. He had the suit on but he didn't wear the mask.
35:07🔗DrewThey had a heavy Christian band, didn't they, back in the day?
35:09🔗AdamYeah, they were cool. I love the Aquabats, those guys are so rad.
35:20🔗DrewLet's do that, this song is called Not Now. Not now. Blink 182 on the SYNC The Greatest Hits, two unreleased songs, that's one of them. I'm here with Mark Hoppus co-hosting with me tonight, and we will be right back after this. Mark Hoppus from Blink 182, again Loveline phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. What kind of name is Hoppus?
39:37🔗AdamHoppus is actually my dad, it's funny you asked me this, because my dad got really into genealogy over the past few years, and he's been researching the name Hoppus, and it comes from this valley in Switzerland, and my father actually traveled back to Switzerland last summer and found records and all kinds of stuff. So he traced our heritage back to the 1300s somehow.
40:04🔗AdamYeah, but it has something to do with like where these rivers come together and there is a hawk and a mountain or something like that, for real. And I'm sorry, dad, that I don't remember the exact story because he's told me it like 10 times, but the name means like where the rivers come together and there's a hawk or something.
40:48🔗AdamNo, because jealous. No, you know what? Honestly, it's just and I feel like I'm dating myself when I say this, but these kids today. I mean, I honestly feel like that when I was 16. It was a big deal if like a girl made out with a guy. And now, you know, you have girls calling up radio shows that are 16 saying, I love to give head. It's just a little. It's a little hard for me to get my head around, you know?
41:30🔗DrewYou know, so it really is something that you want to be treated for. Has anyone ever approached you about that? Has anyone in your family know about this?
41:46🔗DrewHow about it depend on whether or not you want to have a reasonably pleasant life because these experiences have a profound effect on how you develop emotionally. Unless you get some help with that, it's going to be a never-ending life of you trying to get something out of males through indulging them in ways that are exploitative of yourself and denigrating.
42:09🔗AdamYeah. You definitely need to go find some help and talk to some people.
42:12🔗DrewThis is not a good path, John. I see the future and it's grim. There's no reason it has to be like that, okay?
42:20🔗Yeah. I was in fifth grade and my dad surprised me with these tickets to a show here in Boise for Blink-Brain 82. Then I saw you playing your bass or whatever, and then I started playing bass because of it.
42:43🔗DrewThere we go. Very uplifting. Wake Up Dead?
42:49🔗AdamGo ahead, Mark. I'm glad that you're playing bass and I'm stoked that you came to the show. I really think that you need to go and get some help and talk to some people and find some help out there.
43:39🔗CallerWhen I was in high school, I was strung out on acid for about three or four years. And then I was diagnosed bipolar about two or three years ago.
43:52🔗DrewIf anyone wants to know what they're going to sound like to do a fair amount of acid, do 30 or 40 hits acid, there's Reinhardt. That's what you're going to sound like. Really? Yeah. If you wonder, does it change you? Just I want you to introduce you to a couple of people. Acid damages brain. It makes people depressed. It changes the personality structure. In fact, it's very funny. I was looking through some textbooks on this when I was in, I guess I was a resident and they were from the seventies and they were basically going, well, you know, of course there's these personality changes. These people are clearly not the same as they were before, but they're happier now. And they seem very different to all this. So anyway, it's a good thing. So here we go. It's like, what? You gotta be kidding me.
44:31🔗AdamAre there any drugs that people do that really don't have addictive qualities, that don't really leave people worse for the wear afterwards?
44:40🔗DrewYes. Opiates do not hurt your brain. That was why there was such a huge breakthrough. You could control brain without any real harm being done to you. They cause the worst addiction that you can possibly have. They change your life. They, you know, reorder how your brain functions, but they don't damage anything. Right. Cocaine, if you survive the use, you don't get a stroke, don't have a vascular problem. Yeah, it maybe upsets mood centers a little bit, but for the most part, it leaves things pretty much alone.
45:05🔗DrewPot seems to, again, if you're not smoking under the age of 18 and you stop smoking, things tend to go back to normal.
45:11🔗AdamNow, when I was, one of the other shows that I was on, I actually talked to you during one of the breaks and I was asking you, I was asking you because when I was growing up, I remember people saying that inhalants were like the worst drugs you could do that would leave your brain just ravaged afterwards.
45:32🔗DrewYeah, nitrous, not so much. I love to scare you.
45:35🔗AdamI felt really liberated after that, like I didn't really harm myself. And I was wishing that you would afterwards, I found out that I wish you had told me that I destroyed myself.
45:56🔗CallerYeah, I was just wondering if the acid use when I was in high school would be the cause of having the bipolar.
46:07🔗DrewIt's hard to say which came first. Obviously, there was something going on that was motivating you to use the acid. But there's no doubt that LSD can cause mood disturbances of various types, typically depression. But I could see bipolarity being on that list of potential, at least bringing something out, making something worse, for sure. LSD can do that. Mark Hoppus is joining him here tonight. The phone number at Loveline is 1-800-LOVE-191. We're going to take a quick break.
46:32🔗CallerAlright, guys, here's the deal. You're looking to hook up, sick of wasting time with the wrong person?
47:55🔗AdamYeah, I'm actually getting a lot better. I used to be really bad about the germ thing, and my thought process is still such that I think about things that I shouldn't.
48:04🔗DrewWell, probably a good thing, really. I mean, that's how most viruses are transmitted, is really on your hands.
48:08🔗AdamYeah, but I still get as sick as anybody does during the course of a year, you know?
48:12🔗DrewWhen your kid really goes to school regularly, then it's going to be bigger.
48:15🔗AdamYeah, that's what I hear. When your kids go to school, you just have a runny nose pretty much for the rest of your life.
48:19🔗DrewYeah, I see parents from basically age three to age eight.
48:32🔗AdamToo late, yeah, a few weeks ago. And during the commercial break, we were talking, I was drinking a glass of water, and then I put my glass of water down, but there was already glass there that was in the spot where I put my glass, and I realized I was actually drinking out of Adam's cup.
48:45🔗DrewThat is disgusting. Oh my God, I have to test you.
48:47🔗AdamThat really put an end to the germ thing for me, because I figure if I can be walking around after drinking out of Adam Corolla's glass, I'm pretty much good to like touch doorknobs and use silverware.
48:59🔗Hi. Okay. I was a virgin like two weeks ago, but then I had sex with my boyfriend. And now like for two weeks, like this weird stuff has been coming out of me.
49:12🔗DrewOh, I wonder if you're pregnant. Did you use birth control?
49:24🔗No, it seemed like everything went fine. And when I left, I mean, everything seemed OK. And just like like when I go to the bathroom and stuff, like weird stuff would be on my underwear and I didn't know what it was.
49:37🔗DrewTwo weeks, two weeks. It's hard to understand how you would get an STD if you're wearing a condom. It's also hard to imagine how you could get pregnant if you if the condom had worked properly.
49:47🔗That's why I'm I'm not sure why it's happening.
49:51🔗DrewSometimes it can just be a yeast infection, just introducing smoke alarm. A little beep in the background.
50:06🔗AdamYeah. So in about 10 seconds here, just in the interest of fire safety, after we finish this phone call, please replace the battery in your smoke alarm.
50:32🔗DrewAll right. I want you to take the phone over by the smoke detector. I want you to stand there. You taking it over there? Please. If you love Blink 182, you'll do this for Mark.
50:45🔗DrewOkay. And then about another 30 seconds, so it'll go again. So it could just be a yeast infection just from introducing something new into the vagina. So you might want to try some over-the-counter yeast medication, okay?
51:50🔗DrewIt's funny, but it's not. You've been living with something in your room, chirping at you.
51:53🔗AdamThat would drive me crazy. I've only been on the phone, how long have we been on the phone? Two minutes and I'm already annoyed by it.
51:57🔗DrewAny human would be driven to distraction by that. And by the way, there's a reason it's chirping, right? You know why it's chirping? Why?
52:06🔗AdamBecause the battery is dead and you desperately need to change the battery in case, God forbid, there's a fire, smoke in the room, you need to be alarmed.
52:22🔗DrewAnd God forbid, your central nervous system begins functioning again and if it does and you wake up from your coma, this will drive you insane. Okay? Okay.
52:32🔗DrewHappens all the time in the show. People call in that there's smoke textures going off the back. It drives us crazy listening to it at 20 yards distance across the... Anderson's chirping it for us.
52:42🔗AdamMaybe it's the battery here in this studio.
52:43🔗DrewNo, he's doing it. He's doing it. There it is. Okay. Let's see. Let's get a call from Danielle who's 19.
52:56🔗I had a question about... I know that you guys have just talked about breast enhancement and getting your breasts done. I'm 19 and I've heard things where, you know, getting them at like 18, 19 would be a bad idea because it could propose a problem if you're not... if you haven't fully developed, if you're still growing.
53:17🔗Well, I've already had my daughter, but if I ever decided to have children later on, I propose a problem.
53:26🔗DrewI don't know how serious a problem. I mean, you can get... there are cosmetic issues. You can get involutional changes of pregnancy and get sort of things sagging on top of the implant. I don't know if it precludes... it might preclude you from being able to breastfeed.
53:44🔗AdamI have no medical reason to say that at all. I'm just guessing. I'm a dude. What do I know?
53:49🔗DrewWell, if you have any... I don't have any direct knowledge of this. I remember asking about this one time for a plastic surgeon and him bringing up some issues, but I don't think it precluded breastfeeding.
54:00🔗AdamWhen they put an implant, don't they put the actual boob behind the plastic?
54:03🔗DrewIt depends where they put it. They can't put it out of the muscle and whatnot, so some of that can be taken into consideration based on where they put the implant.
54:11🔗Also, I've heard from other people, which I don't know if they know what they're talking about or not, but you have to get them redone every 10 years.
54:19🔗DrewThat often happens. You need to realize when you get breast implants, you're usually signing up for a series of procedures. It's not you get them in and that's it for the rest of your life. You're usually having revisions and scars and removals and things.
55:08🔗CallerI'm doing a lot of just waitressing stuff and that's about it.
55:13🔗AdamWomen have to go through so much. I don't know why they'd go through the surgery of breast implants after, especially after childbirth. I mean, if you go through childbirth, I would be done with all medical procedures after that.
55:23🔗DrewDon't you think if a man had to have a child, there would be no further propagation of the species? Yeah. That'd be it.
55:29🔗AdamIt's rough. My hat's off to you ladies because I couldn't do it.
55:34🔗CallerYeah, I'm going because I've got a pretty bad problem. I mean, every long-term relationship I've been in, I've cheated on them. I mean, I need to know if this is something compulsive. I mean, I try not to and I mean, I just, I can't stop. But it's like, I mean, every night I'm out.
55:51🔗AdamNo, this is the part where you come in and you're like, I know exactly what happened. This happened to you. And then they're like, that's right.
55:57🔗DrewWell, hold on. I need to find out what the deal is. How many long-term relationships have you had?
56:02🔗CallerI've had two, and I've been one that's currently been going on for about a year and a half.
56:06🔗DrewThis is number three or this is number two?
56:32🔗AdamI like how he just went with it. That was cool.
56:34🔗DrewWell, that's what I'm picking up on. Well, that's sort of... If you go stand in front of the sort of the section of the bookstore for gay and lesbians, and you'll see most of that is populated with how to deal with cheating boyfriends and how to try to have a relationship when you have difficulty and you're compulsively... You know what I'm saying? That's a really common problem in the gay community is staying in a stable, monogamous relationship. Some of it is that you're men, you know what I mean? And if men running amok, it's just tons of opportunity. It's hard to contain that. Some of it is that sexual abuse is a common heritage, common history in people who are gay. Is that something you have?
57:38🔗DrewYeah. All right. So we don't have that to sort of go on with you, because that's another reason people get compulsively sexual and have trouble being in stable relationships. And then finally, is there other issues in your past that make it difficult to be intimate and stay intimate?
57:55🔗CallerI think maybe intimate as far as like, you know, emotionally, I think I have pretty much issues with that.
57:59🔗DrewAnd from where is that coming from? Where did that get started?
58:03🔗CallerPretty much being rejected by my dad. I mean, yeah, that's a huge issue, but.
58:09🔗AdamThis is what you do. This is what I listen to the show and Dr. Drew.
58:12🔗DrewSo being close to a man with you're gay, so it's going to be a man. And being close is a very treacherous place for you. It carries with it the probability of rejection. So naturally enough, a way to avoid that is to you first sabotage the relationship or be the rejector yourself. One of the amazing things about humans and trauma, aside from the fact that they reenact it over and over and over again, is that when you have a trauma, often times you either become the perpetrator or the victim. You play both roles. You know what I mean? So you become the one that gets left or the one that does the leaving. In your case, you're busy doing the leaving to make sure you don't become the one that gets left. What's going to happen, you're really going to fall deeply for some guy and that guy's going to leave. So you need, why don't you get a little therapy about this, Eric? You seem smart and you sort of understand what's going on here. You have a healthy goal. You want to have a stable monogamous relationship. That's wonderful. You're not going to have that with all that S flying around your head.
59:08🔗AdamBut at least you know, that's cool. I mean, at least you know that you want to be with somebody and that's cool.
59:15🔗DrewAlrighty. Cool, thanks so much. Alright buddy, take care. That's what we call born gay. I mean, he's gay, that's it, that's him. That's who he is and he needs to figure out how to have monogamy and all of his issues, of course, are with dad because-
59:31🔗DrewThere's people that are created, made gay. Really? When male sexual abuse on males helps sort of bring that out. But either way you get there, it's a deep wiring and it's there. And you ain't going to change that. If you're looking at Newsweek or something, they're talking about trying to change guys, it just doesn't work.
1:01:42🔗DrewTry it, try it. Here you go, Karen, I want you to do something for me. Okay. I want you to get it, try it and call me back and tell us, was it, is it something about it that makes it unpopular?
1:01:52🔗AdamSo this is a cup that you wear while you're having sex while you're on your period?
1:01:55🔗DrewNo, no, it's really, it's in, well, that's really not what it's-
1:01:57🔗CallerIt's inside, it's inside, so you can't see it, you can't feel it.
1:02:28🔗AdamI know it's natural. I know it's natural. It's part of God's great scheme. And, you know, it's a beautiful thing. It creates life. It's why women can have babies and the species continues. And it's still just not something I want to know about or even acknowledge.
1:02:43🔗DrewKaren, do me a favor. You sound great. Please get one. Call us back.
1:02:46🔗AdamLet us know. Hey, have a party. It's great.
1:02:50🔗DrewAll right. Bye. Hey, I would understand. I would like to hear David on a grill vomiting just to make Mark feel good. A little more. Know what? I have to do.
1:03:07🔗AdamOh, I see it on a computer screen in the background of your studio. It looks so rotten. Oh, man.
1:03:16🔗DrewYeah, there it is with the stem on it and everything. Oh, looks like a big plunger, doesn't it?
1:03:19🔗AdamIf my wife is listening, I ain't never coming home.
1:03:23🔗DrewYou know, I have to do Adam's to that show you did with him on Monday, and he's going to have me read out of the physician's desk reference, the names of medication, because David Algarro was in here one night. And I was talking to a woman about the morning after pill, what kinds of birth control products you can use as a morning after pill. And David Algarro converted every one of the names I was saying of these medications into the name of African American children, and acting it out as the big mom yelling at the kids to stop their fooling around here. Anders, can we get a little bit of that? I have micrograms of ethanol estradiol, which is the progesterone, it's the levonadestriol.
1:04:07🔗CallerNorthendrone. Put that whiffle ball back down. Come in the house. It's your behind. I'm sick of these kids.
1:04:18🔗DrewSo we're going to relive that moment for Adam's pleasure and he's going to do that on his show. So anyway, here we go. Let's get some more Mark Hoppus calls. Sarah, 17.
1:04:33🔗CallerHey, Marcus, I was just wondering what to expect on the DVD that's coming out of The Greatest Hits DVD.
1:04:40🔗AdamThe Greatest Hits DVD, to be honest, it's going to have all your favorite songs from Blink 182 in the video format and oh, so not much more. I don't know exactly. I think it's all the videos for all the songs that we have videos for. I know that they were talking about putting backstage footage and scenes from tour. We actually had our friend Estevan follow us around for about six months with a camera. I don't know if that's coming out on this DVD or if they're saving that for later. Later! I'm getting motions from the other side of the glass saying later. This one is just the videos? Am I correct? This one is all your favorite Blink 182 songs in the video format for your DVD pleasure. You have such hits as Damn It, All the Small Things, What's My Age Again, and The Rock Show.
1:05:26🔗DrewI'm sorry, I didn't mention that it's coming out on November 1st. Do we have the next song lined up? We don't. Okay, so maybe the next break, we'll get another song from the Greatest Hits CD.
1:05:42🔗I'm wondering how you got involved with your music, your bass.
1:05:47🔗AdamI actually, when I was in high school, a friend of mine gave me a cassette of The Cures album. It was the first time that I'd heard that, and at the same time, I got the Descendants I Don't Want to Grow Up album, and like those two CDs kind of changed my life. My CDs back then was cassettes.
1:06:07🔗AdamNo, no, no. I liked music and I grew up listening to music and my parents always had music playing in the background, but I never really felt like music spoke to me until I listened to The Descendants and The Cure. I got inspired by music and I don't know, I was just drawn to the bass guitar. I always thought it was cool and started playing bass and learning how to play songs of bands that I liked and that's kind of where it all started.
1:06:34🔗AdamThat's exactly right. The Descendants? Simon Gallup was bass player for The Cure and still is actually now again. He was out for a couple of years, but he was back. I started playing bass guitar then too. I know so much about The Cure. I could go on forever.
1:06:53🔗Hey, I got a good question for you. Sorry to interrupt you guys, but my wife is five months pregnant with my son. Actually, I have a daughter who is 18 months old. And I have a question considering my brother-in-law is gay.
1:07:07🔗And I'm kind of I'm not against gays at all. I don't want your college thinking I'm trying to bash gays or have a problem with gays, but I worry about my son being gay. If I bring my brother-in-law around, I care about him a lot. He's a cool guy. I have nothing wrong with him or his man or what do you want to say? But it just kind of freaks me out. I kind of worry if my son could become gay because he knows my brother-in-law or he hangs out with my brother-in-law.
1:07:43🔗DrewMade the field. And the only way I would be concerned about your brother-in-law is if he had been sexually abused himself, in which case there's about a 60% chance that he could be a perpetrator in spite of himself. And you might want to kind of keep an eye on him if that were the case. But it still isn't something that's transmitted to children, nor is it have any kind of familial sort of pattern to it. You know what I'm saying?
1:08:09🔗Yeah, he's, I mean, he's, I'll think he's a sexually, actually I can vouch he's not been sexually abused.
1:08:14🔗DrewAll right, well, there you go. Then relax, Brian, relax. Then you just relax. Let your brother-in-law be your brother-in-law. Relax, relax.
1:08:30🔗So I had a question for Dr. Drew. Yep. I called a little while back. I had a journey to Florida about a guy who got in trouble for having a sex doll. I thought he was like a corpse.
1:09:23🔗CallerI use a polyurethane condom, and I was having sex with my new girlfriend, and she had like a yeast infection down there, but I got like an infection like on the back of like my head.
1:09:40🔗DrewWhat? The hell, Max, you're like making stuff up as you go here. No, no, no. These things don't even make sense.
1:09:46🔗CallerOkay, listen. When I was having sex with my girlfriend, I had a polyurethane condom on.
1:09:50🔗DrewRight. Polyurethane condom will protect you against STDs, virtually has not been properly tested as well, but looks as though it's virtually as good as a latex condom. Maybe not quite, but good enough. Yeast infections are really not STDs, so it has nothing to do with anything. And whatever you got on the head of your penis is something from an irritation from the condom.
1:10:13🔗CallerWell, I thought it was a yeast because I asked my doctor and she said it looked like a yeast or it could have been something, I don't know.
1:10:19🔗DrewWell, if it were a yeast, are you uncircumcised?
1:10:23🔗DrewYeah, I don't know. If you got the yeast there, it's not from having sex with your girlfriend. You can get yeast in your skin, but how could you get it? You haven't been exposed to it. And what it makes, if indeed you are having sex, you need to stop now, because you don't really understand what you're dealing with here. What's your other question?
1:10:38🔗AdamDid they make condoms out of skateboard wheels now?
1:10:42🔗CallerSure, Mark, about Blink-L-82. Yeah. I've been hearing that you guys broke up.
1:10:50🔗DrewNo, he just went up to great lengths to tell you about the future, this open possibilities in the future. We don't know what the future may hold for Blink.
1:10:58🔗AdamYeah, we're just taking time off right now. It's a good, healthy thing. Travis and I have a project called Plus 44 that we're very excited about going in to the studio and recording. And that's really what we're focusing on right now.
1:11:09🔗DrewAll right, it's Mark Hoppus, Blink-L-82. The phone number at Loveline is 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Dr. Drew and we will be right back.
1:12:10🔗Well, I have a question. I have, my family has a history, the males in my family have a history of being sex addicts. And over the past few years, I've had, so my family members, my sister in particular, she thinks that my behavior is similar to theirs. Where most of my friends are like, no, you're just an act, you know, very active person in the early 20s, but I'm starting to get concerned that maybe I might be.
1:12:34🔗AdamWho in their early 20s is not a sex addict?
1:12:37🔗DrewWell, it's though, you gotta ask yourself a couple questions. Are you having consequences from your sexual activity? Is it troubling you?
1:12:45🔗Well, sometimes. Like I have an ex-boyfriend that I haven't been able to stop sleeping with for the past six months. And I don't know if it's because of the sex.
1:12:55🔗AdamSame with me, ex-boyfriend, six months.
1:12:57🔗DrewWhat else? I told you we wouldn't talk about this on the air.
1:13:01🔗Well, while I've been sleeping with my ex-boyfriend, I'm always protected. I'm very, very safe about the sex I've had. I've never had an ex-boyfriend or anything like that. But I've had like, I've had eight partners just in the past like eight months. And whereas most people are like, oh, you know, that's normal for a 23-year-old that goes out and has fun. I've been starting to get more interested in a lot of other things like bondage and stuff like that.
1:13:30🔗DrewAll right. So the first thing is the consequences. Is it troubling to you? Or do you want to stop sort of the questions? Secondly, do you have a history of sexual abuse?
1:13:45🔗DrewAll right. So you're an abuse survivor, which puts you at risk for various kinds of addiction. Is there a family history of alcoholism or chemical addictions?
1:13:52🔗CallerChemical addiction and alcoholism, yeah.
1:13:54🔗DrewAll right. So you're adding up to sex addiction. That's sort of the recipe for sexual addiction is physical or sexual abuse, genetics of alcoholism, and off you go. Now, the other way to get to where you are is through bipolar disorder.
1:14:09🔗CallerOkay. I have no history of bipolar in my family and I'm not bipolar.
1:14:12🔗DrewOkay. So it's probably more in the addiction realm. Addiction is a progressive process. It goes from milder states to more severe and advanced states, and it sounds like you're picking up a little steam.
1:14:23🔗CallerThat's what worries me is the more I get of it, it's almost like the first time I did coke. I can't get enough of it, and the more I do it, the more I want it.
1:14:32🔗DrewRight. Then the more arousal you need and the more bizarre things you need to do to get the same level of satisfaction out of it. That's it. That's addiction. The more you do that, the more you feel ashamed and hidden about it, weirder and feel bad about yourself, and it makes you do more of it.
1:14:47🔗CallerWell, I don't ever feel bad after it.
1:14:49🔗CallerThat's the thing, though, is every time I've ever done a drug and felt bad, after I have sex, I feel good, but then the next day, I'm like, oh, I want more.
1:14:56🔗DrewAll right, well, you can continue down this path and see where it takes you, or you can do something about it.
1:15:02🔗AdamWhat do you do about something like that?
1:15:03🔗DrewWell, there are therapists that specialize in this sort of thing, and there is always the 12-step programs for this. There are people with your story, rooms full of them, at the SA meetings.
1:15:12🔗AdamHere's my question. If she's using protection every time and she has no guilt about it, is there, I mean, obviously...
1:15:21🔗CallerGo ahead. It never leads to a relationship. I haven't had a serious relationship in five years. My boyfriend that I told you I couldn't, I can't stop sleeping with, we dated off and on for like a year, but it was never a commitment. I don't make commitments, I don't settle down with guys.
1:15:37🔗DrewI just kind of... And the other thing is, this is part of, I'm sure are going to be chemical addictions in and around all this too. Alcohol, stimulants, pot, whatever. And one of those is going to take hold as well, as you start to sort of spiral into all this. And you can either wait till that happens and then do something, or you can do something now.
1:15:54🔗AdamAlthough if you're self aware enough to call and ask about this, then you're probably self aware enough to know that you need to go talk to somebody, I guess, is that the deal? Well, I don't know these things.
1:16:03🔗DrewYeah, but you need people who specialize in treatment of addiction, because it really is a very, very specialized need that you have there, Megan. I actually would first suggest you go to an SA 12-step meeting and then ask around for therapists that people have used, that they've had success with.
1:16:18🔗CallerDo you think a 12-step program should be in order at this point? I mean, I don't know.
1:16:22🔗DrewIt's up to you. I can only tell you that it is in order, but it takes a lot of motivation to go do something like that. And most people don't or aren't motivated to do that until they really have some things happen to them. It's too gratifying now. You like it too much. It does too much for you. It has not enough negative yet for you really to get in and make it better. So you can go down that path. It's going to be rocky. Trust me. It's about another five years. You're going to be... It's not going to be pretty.
1:16:48🔗AdamWhat? I mean, what's the... Like, where does it end up?
1:16:52🔗DrewShe's not going to be... She's going to be unhappy by herself, probably alcoholic and doing lots of weird stuff with lots of weird guys and eventually feeling bad about it. Right. She'll feel very bad about it. But we'll see. Austin, 15.
1:17:56🔗AdamWhat was that? Wake Up Dead is actually the name of a Nervous Return. Is it the name of the album or is it the name of the song? Yeah, it's the name of the song. Hey, by the way, shameless plug from my friends in The Nervous Return. They are actually finishing up their next album right now and I've heard a few songs and it's great. I'm sorry.
1:18:16🔗CallerHave you heard their new material at all?
1:18:18🔗AdamYeah, I have. I heard a few songs and it's great. It's really, really good. I'm a huge fan of The Nervous Return so I can't wait till it's out.
1:18:59🔗DrewOkay. So first of all, I hope you share this with me, Mark, that we want to congratulate Amy for doing something very courageous on behalf of the child.
1:19:14🔗My mother called an attorney, and the attorney kind of forced my boyfriend and I to make that decision.
1:19:22🔗DrewWow. Well, it's a good one for the child. There are a lot of people that are really ready to raise children in this country. And 22, I couldn't have raised a raccoon. I assume most 22-year-olds can't. So, and you may have had a postpartum depression, certainly 12 months. Any depression for the 12 months after delivery is considered a postpartum depression. And just having had a child can affect your sex drive. Women typically for the first year do not have much of a sex drive at all.
1:19:52🔗DrewSometimes going on birth control pills will help kickstart things. Sometimes some testosterone.
1:19:56🔗I'm not really like looking for sex, but I...
1:19:59🔗DrewNo, I understand. But you asked about it, and so we'll address it.
1:20:02🔗Yeah, but I pretty much tend to like ruin any kind of relationship that comes along.
1:20:05🔗DrewWell, and maybe some of that is just adaptive to try to prevent the possibility of getting into that feeling of grief and loss that undoubtedly you had in relation to that adopted child.
1:20:17🔗AdamYeah, that's a lot to go through for sure. I'm sure it's not out of the question to be depressed for a while after going through something like that.
1:20:23🔗DrewBe depressed and to not want to be in a circumstance where that could possibly happen again.
1:20:27🔗Of course not. Of course I'm not looking for that to happen. But I think the problem is I feel that like in hopes of not getting over, but in hopes of kind of pushing through it, that you know a relationship would.
1:20:47🔗DrewI think that's the right attitude to have. I think it's a good idea. I think you keep pushing forward. And I think this will kind of take care of itself. If it doesn't, if you have trouble functioning, if you really can't have a relationship, if you're having thoughts of suicide or going to work, that kind of thing, or not sleeping, feeling anxiety attacks, please go ahead and look at some help. That's treatable condition. On that note.
1:21:08🔗AdamThat's so much to go through. I mean, so much to go through.
1:21:11🔗DrewGod bless her. The child is much better off on behalf of it.
1:21:15🔗AdamI mean, just being pregnant is so much to go through.
1:21:18🔗DrewYeah. I mean, what happens afterwards, you've been on those tremendous hormones, and the one that your body suddenly lets down from that, it changes you for a while. For sure. Postpartum depression is a common and intensely biological process. But on that happy note, why don't we hear a Blink song? Yeah, please. Hey, good Mark, I want to do that. This song is called I Miss You. Mark Hoppison here with me tonight, Blink 182, that is I Miss You. And Mark and I will return in just a moment. One hundred L.O.V.E. Mark Hoppus is joining me in the studio. Mark, you just brought up off the air a few seconds ago before we came to the mics here, before they heated up, that he enjoyed Adam's and my discussion about hobo power. And that just to recapitulate what we discussed was that we were discussing someone's stinky.
1:25:58🔗AdamYeah, someone's lady didn't smell so good down there.
1:26:00🔗DrewAnd we were trying to measure it out or sort of get a sense of it in terms of hobo power. Now, there's all kinds of units of measurement out there. There's horsepower and there's energy and jewels and dines and all kinds of stuff. But there's no units of smell, of stench. And so Adam and I invented something called hobo power. And basically the scale is 10 hobo powers rough, 50 hobo power you barf. 100 hobo power, only a theoretic possibility. Somebody actually achieves 100 hobo power, it could be that the universe could collapse.
1:26:34🔗DrewYeah, right, it's the speed of light, exactly. It's only a theoretic possibility. So please feel free to use hobo power in the future. My kids use it. Oh, really?
1:26:42🔗DrewAll right. Well, my sons gleefully announced about 30 hobo power farts. Oh, yeah, it's great. Twelve year old humor. All right. Another call for Mark. Trisha, 25.
1:26:55🔗CallerDo you have any plans to go kind of back into the studio and do kind of more production work like you did for a Motion City soundtrack?
1:27:02🔗AdamYeah. I love producing and I'm actually supposed to go into the studio this weekend and do pre-production with a band called The Matches that I'm excited to work with. I'm going to produce a couple of songs for them and there's a bunch of other stuff that I have coming up. I love producing. I love being in the studio and the whole creative process. So definitely.
1:27:25🔗CallerI just want to thank you for being like my hero. I play bass because of you and I just like what you do. Like with the clothing line, I want to have my own clothing line too.
1:27:34🔗DrewIs Tommy really your name or is it just a Blink reference?
1:27:39🔗CallerYeah, it's a cool name. Cool. And I also want to say that I had missed a show that Blink was playing and I actually missed it. So I wondered if there was any way that you could make it up, like an autograph or something?
1:27:53🔗AdamSure. If someone off the air can get her address or whatever, I'll send an autograph.
1:27:57🔗DrewWe need to send Tommy on line four an autograph if Mark wants to do that, okay? This is Gloria20. Gloria.
1:29:05🔗CallerSo I don't understand why I don't feel like I'm bipolar, yet I have to be taking medication and, you know, I...
1:29:14🔗DrewWell, there is some evidence that if you suppress some of the violent swings of mood, you know, bipolar is about going from very, very high highs, manic episodes to very, very low lows. That's sort of an over-simplification, but that's basically what happens. And I've seen some research that suggests if you suppress those swings early, they may not be as bad later on in life, or you may even suppress the whole process. And so it's something that somewhere between age 18 and 22, where if those swings really get going, then you are stuck with that the rest of your life. So they may have done you a favor and maybe they have dodged a bullet in some respect. Maybe this will be something that will become an issue later.
1:29:56🔗AdamBut when you're like, when you're 13 to 15, 16, It's hard to make a diagnosis of anything.
1:30:01🔗CallerIt's very hard to make a diagnosis. That's why I question it all the time because of the fact that, yes, it runs in the family, but are you sure that that was the reason why I was acting out at 14 or, you know what I mean?
1:30:12🔗DrewIt's all reasonable questions. I thought you were going to tell me that you've been put on medications recently and you were now questioning it. But no, this is a reasonable thing.
1:30:20🔗CallerActually, the recent medication I've been taking haven't been working.
1:30:24🔗DrewBut, Gloria, here's the deal. It's a serious enough question that, again, an expert, let's say you were a psychiatrist, you would still go get evaluated by another professional and get their opinion as to what you should do. You shouldn't be managing this on your own. So it's a serious disorder.
1:30:41🔗CallerYou know why it's hard? It's hard because I'm a psych major.
1:30:44🔗DrewWell, listen, like I said... I can't evaluate myself. If you were a psychiatrist with 20 years of experience, the last thing you would do is evaluate yourself. You can't do that. It doesn't work. You can't be objective about a subjective state. So go get evaluated, let them decide, work with that person and make sure it's somebody you trust and feel good about and communicate with and go check it out.
1:31:07🔗CallerI have a psychiatrist for 10 years now and he's the same person.
1:31:11🔗DrewMaybe you want another opinion because you're having trouble believing or trusting this person.
1:31:16🔗AdamCan even a psychiatrist diagnose him or herself?
1:31:19🔗DrewYou shouldn't. You can suspect what's going on. You can go and say, hey, I'm having these symptoms. I'm worried. I've got this going on. But you would never treat yourself. So the worst thing you can possibly do never works out. Priscilla, 15.
1:31:45🔗AdamI freak out on airplanes because I just think of how dirty the airplane bathrooms are.
1:31:50🔗DrewI want to hold your urine the whole way across the states.
1:31:52🔗AdamNo, but honestly, when I use the restroom in an airplane, I make sure I'm very conscious of which hand I'm like touching handles with.
1:31:58🔗DrewI wish you could see the disgust on his face.
1:32:00🔗AdamOh, I travel with the hand sanitizer stuff. I'm always, like I said, very careful to not use the hand that I touch the door with or anything.
1:32:30🔗CallerI've only gone like three times. I don't really see it going anywhere.
1:32:34🔗DrewTakes a long time. Do not expect to see any improvement. It will happen like snail's pace. It's what it takes. You're changing your brain's function. Let's say it. Takes a long time.
1:32:45🔗AdamIf I were going to go in and have someone talk to me about germs in the outside world, what would baby steps be?
1:33:50🔗DrewThat's what I'm saying. We started with that, we'll finish with that. So again, the CD is coming out November 1st. He's also got the new project with Travis Plus 44, and when you guys put the CD out from that or finish the CD, at least come on in here, we'll talk about that.
1:34:22🔗CallerThe opinions expressed in this show are not necessarily those of the staff, management, sponsors, or the station. The producer for Loveline is Aningold. Loveline is a presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
