The Offspring's Dexter Holland has joked that he gets his bandmates to call him Dr Dexter ever since he was awarded with a PHD. The 55-year-old punk rock legend got his doctorate in molecular biology in 2017 and has quipped that he "insists" on Noodles, Pete Parada, and bassist Todd Morse using the title. Asked if he is a doctor now, he quipped: "I am! I insist that my band members call me Dr Dexter! Guitarist Noodles joked back: "Itâs a huge pain in the a**. I mean, first of all, lead singer disease and then you go and give him a PHD, come on!"
