1:08🔗 Voiceover Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, coast to coast.

1:14🔗 Adam Yep, it is Love Line. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number 1-800-L-V-E-1-9-1, fax number 310-8-5-4-44-55, Dr. Drew, board certified physician. Takes a minute to do this. Yeah. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. I'm excited to see Bryan because I love race car driving. Actually, I dig cars. I'm not nuts about the guys who drive them, but I'm really crazy about the cars themselves. Bryan I like a lot, but I don't go nuts over the guys who are piloting them.

1:47🔗 Drew I just appreciate the cars. It's not even the racing. It's just the power of the vehicle, yeah? Yeah.

1:51🔗 Adam I don't even like to see them moving.

1:52🔗 Drew Right.

1:54🔗 Adam I like to get down in the pits and look at stuff. As you know, I like to confound the race drivers by asking them all sorts of nonsense questions that I can't answer. Like, are you catheterized and do you... What do you got? A six-speed in there?

2:12🔗 Bryan Herta There you go. Six speeds.

2:14🔗 Adam Nice. Does that car have a reverse or do they just push you back?

2:17🔗 Bryan Herta It's got a reverse. It's got a reverse. It's next to impossible to use, but hopefully you don't need it.

2:22🔗 Adam You mean you can't get it... It's hard to find, hard to get it in there?

2:25🔗 Bryan Herta It's a whole different lever. It's on the other side of the car. It's, you know, only if you're in a really bad spot.

2:32🔗 Adam Bryan has been in here, well, let's see. He was here in, I don't know, 97, 98 or 98, 99. He missed last year and he's back. He got, he was telling us off the air, he got second and third. And then what was it last year?

2:48🔗 Bryan Herta Fifth.

2:48🔗 Adam Fifth, and this year, I'm going with first. So this is the kart series. And has it always been the kart since you've been?

2:57🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Championship auto racing teams. It's always been the same series. Although, you know, they used to be called Indy cars and now they're called champ cars.

3:06🔗 Adam Right. And basically these are a step down from the formula one.

3:12🔗 Bryan Herta Oh, well.

3:13🔗 Adam Well, in there, put it this way.

3:15🔗 Bryan Herta All right.

3:15🔗 Adam Let me, let me, let me draw. Let me draw an analogy and I'll stick to cars here. Formula one would be like the Ferrari and the, the cart or the, yeah, the cart stuff would be more like an American car that was beefed up in the sense that it had the same, they both may have 400 horsepower, but the Ferrari engines are pain in the ass to fix and a lot more complicated.

3:39🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. So it's a little more technology intensive in formula one. Yeah.

3:42🔗 Adam I mean, what, what is, I'm sorry.

3:44🔗 Bryan Herta Go ahead. Just from the car standpoint, that's the big difference.

3:46🔗 Adam What is a formula one car?

3:48🔗 Drew What does that mean?

3:49🔗 Adam What's that formula one cost? That car. I mean, that's a million bucks, right?

3:53🔗 Bryan Herta Well, they all build their own. Oh, no, no. Way, way more.

3:56🔗 Adam Way more than a million.

3:57🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the top team over there spending $200 million for two cars.

4:03🔗 Adam No, but I mean, I mean just the car itself. I know it's hard because you got research and development and all that stuff.

4:09🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. I don't know how you could put a price on it. I mean, they got to be spending millions of dollars.

4:13🔗 Adam If I wanted to buy someone's extra car off them that was two years old, I could get it for under a million.

4:20🔗 Bryan Herta Maybe.

4:21🔗 Adam I bet you I could. I know some guys.

4:22🔗 Drew Yeah.

4:23🔗 Bryan Herta Maybe you could.

4:24🔗 Adam But the cart car itself is more, you know, the 300 grand or something like that.

4:29🔗 Bryan Herta That's about 500,000. 500 grand. Without an engine. So it's much more economical.

4:34🔗 Adam You don't need an engine.

4:35🔗 Drew What is the difference, really, I mean, other than the price?

4:37🔗 Bryan Herta To look at, not a lot. Just we have a less, a more restrictive technical regulation package. So basically our cars are a lot more similar to each other because there's so little we can actually do to them compared to a formula one car where there's really the sky's the limit. If you can dream it up, you can put it on your car.

4:57🔗 Adam Yeah. So it's unlimited. I mean, they may have, you know, 12 cylinders with twin turbochargers and stuff like that. You guys have a limit on displacement.

5:06🔗 Bryan Herta All the engines are same specification, maybe different manufacturer, but same specification, things like that.

5:11🔗 Adam And how many liters is that?

5:14🔗 Bryan Herta 2.65.

5:15🔗 Adam All right. There you go.

5:17🔗 Bryan Herta See, you asked me when I knew.

5:18🔗 That's right.

5:19🔗 Adam All right. So this is going down this weekend in Long Beach. I will be there. I've not missed it for the last five years. And I love it. It's just a good day, just walking around with other, you know, fat white guys who are wearing Winston caps and everyone's got a windbreaker on and everyone's eating a hot dog and everyone's got earplugs. You know you're at a good place when everyone's sporting earplugs, whether it be a concert or a race or drag race or whatever.

5:49🔗 Drew Basically you're saying a place where there are no women.

5:51🔗 Adam No women.

5:51🔗 Bryan Herta Oh, no, no, no. Make a difference.

5:53🔗 Adam No, there are over there in Long Beach. But here's what they are, whole bunch of guys, a handful of women, but all the women are super hot, but they all have something to do with the race. They're either...

6:05🔗 Drew And they're not talking because you can't hear them.

6:07🔗 Adam Well, no.

6:08🔗 Drew So that's for Adam. Adam, that must be a good orvana for you.

6:11🔗 Adam Right. Right. I know I don't like the sound of a woman's voice. Thank you. Yes, there are good looking women there, but they're usually some kind of pit girl or something. Thank you. Bryan, you're going to set me up, right?

6:23🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, absolutely.

6:24🔗 Adam Yeah.

6:24🔗 Bryan Herta Absolutely.

6:25🔗 Adam All right. Good. Good. I'll be down there. I'll be cruising the pits and drinking some beer. Everything. All the above. Drew, you'll be home on a scavenger hunt for your scrotum. That's what you do on Sunday. You look for your testicles while your wife beats you.

6:41🔗 Drew I look for my testicles while she beats me with my scrotum.

6:44🔗 Adam Right. That's ironic. All right. Drew, you want to head down there? Seriously?

6:49🔗 Drew I'll be down there. I actually would really like to.

6:51🔗 Adam Why don't you bring those kids down there?

6:53🔗 Drew My sister's having a baby shower at our house on Sunday. Okay.

6:56🔗 Adam Enough said. Enough. Maddie? Yeah. Last week was the Boston's. He couldn't go to that. Maddie, you're 18. Yes, I am. And by the way, everybody, just listen for one second. I know people think it's a little bit of a cliche, like as to why you shouldn't get married as a guy. But every weekend, I got something fun to do. I had Dickie from the Boston's in town last week. I was at the concert Saturday night. I'm going to go to the races this weekend. I was at the Supercross a couple of weeks ago. I was at the Winter National Drag Race. All things Drew was not allowed to do.

7:30🔗 Drew But it may shock you that I enjoyed spending time with my family.

7:33🔗 Adam Not allowed. Thank you. Not allowed.

7:35🔗 Drew I didn't miss them.

7:36🔗 Adam Forbidden. Maddie?

7:38🔗 Yes.

7:39🔗 Adam What's up?

7:40🔗 I don't think this is a joke.

7:41🔗 I'm very serious about this. I want to know what is in sperm.

7:44🔗 Like when you're having...

7:46🔗 Drew 3000 calories.

7:47🔗 Shut up.

7:48🔗 Drew Yes. Oh, yes.

7:49🔗 It's 3000 calories?

7:50🔗 Drew Yes.

7:50🔗 No.

7:52🔗 Adam What's in it?

7:54🔗 Drew Nothing. Almost essentially nothing.

7:56🔗 Adam What's in a loogie?

7:58🔗 Drew Yeah.

7:58🔗 I don't want to swallow that.

8:00🔗 Adam I know. But you know what I'm saying?

8:03🔗 Drew It's just... It's muco-polysaccharide.

8:06🔗 Adam What's in a zit?

8:08🔗 Drew No. Zit's actually a little more protein in it.

8:10🔗 Adam All right. But you know what I'm saying. It's not going to kill you. It's not going to taste good.

8:14🔗 I was just wondering because the guys are trying to say that it's got protein. Yeah.

8:18🔗 Drew About a tenth of a gram.

8:21🔗 But is it...

8:22🔗 Drew Nothing. A milligram.

8:22🔗 Is it like fattening or anything?

8:24🔗 Drew Well, that's what I'm going to tell my daughter. It's 3,000 calories, you know, but it's, in fact, about two.

8:29🔗 Adam Yeah. You know, your fat grandmother from Philadelphia, you want to know what happened to her?

8:33🔗 Too much sperm.

8:36🔗 Adam My dad used to tell my sister.

8:38🔗 Oh, yeah.

8:39🔗 Adam Grandma from Philadelphia, she took in gallons of sperm when she was younger.

8:42🔗 Well, look, what happened?

8:45🔗 Adam Oh, yes.

8:46🔗 Bryan Herta That's what I'm saying. The thing is, how much of that stuff do you have to consume to start worrying about the calorie content of it?

8:52🔗 Adam Uh, plenty. Hey, Maddie, are you taking in a lot?

8:57🔗 No.

8:57🔗 Adam No?

8:58🔗 Well, me and my boyfriend decided that maybe we're not going to have sex so much anymore and we're just going to stick to that for a while.

9:06🔗 Drew Did you decide that or did he decide that?

9:08🔗 Well, this is mainly kind of my decision.

9:10🔗 Adam Why?

9:11🔗 Because it has to do with having orgasms and stuff. Like, I...

9:16🔗 Drew Well, take notes on this, Adam. You got that?

9:17🔗 Adam Yeah, go ahead.

9:18🔗 Drew She's going to not have sex because it has to do with orgasms.

9:21🔗 Adam I understand. Why don't you want to have an orgasm?

9:23🔗 No, no, no, no. I do. Okay, the thing is like, the only way I can have an orgasm is from oral sex.

9:30🔗 Drew Which is normal for your age.

9:31🔗 Adam Performed on you, right?

9:32🔗 Huh? Yes.

9:33🔗 Drew Yes, good.

9:35🔗 I guess. So like every time me and my boyfriend have sex, I like to have oral sex performed on me first and I am kind of like becoming a problem because you know, like it's not that I expect it every time. It's just like I should be able to have some pleasure, you know, as much pleasure as he's having. So whatever. And he's like not liking that he had to do it like every single time we had sex. So I just said we weren't going to have sex anymore. We were going to stick to the head.

10:02🔗 Adam Oh, you're punishing it.

10:03🔗 Drew I see.

10:04🔗 Adam I see.

10:04🔗 Drew All right. We endorse this. Yeah. We should assert their power. Yeah. Yep.

10:09🔗 Adam The fastest way to punish a man is through his penis. The way to man's heart is through his stomach. But the way to punish a man is through his penis. It's another thing my grandmother from Philadelphia. I didn't really care about half that stuff. What the hell were we talking about with her? Jamie?

10:29🔗 Yeah.

10:29🔗 Adam You're 21.

10:31🔗 Caller Hey.

10:31🔗 Adam Hey.

10:32🔗 Caller Um, yeah. My boyfriend's got a third nut.

10:35🔗 Drew No, he doesn't.

10:37🔗 Caller Well, it's like, okay, he had a hernia repair. He had like a massive hernia. Um, and he got it repaired in January and since then.

10:50🔗 Drew Yes.

10:52🔗 Adam All right. I got to put on hold because our phone line's crappy. Bryan, I'm going to pay you quite a compliment. I'm really, I'm really wanting to get through these calls, get to break so we can talk about cars. Do you understand? I'm with you. I rarely have that feeling on this show. Like when we have a band in here, it's not like I want to hurry up and get through the calls so we can get to commercial so we can talk about cars.

11:12🔗 Drew No, then you want to get through the shows, you can talk to me about cars and then drive home.

11:15🔗 Adam I love cars. Ironically, I probably like them more than you do, right? You just drive them.

11:21🔗 Bryan Herta You probably do, yeah.

11:23🔗 Adam Yeah, you're like a porn star that doesn't really like sex that much, but you're good at it and you have a big penis and it's a gig.

11:30🔗 Bryan Herta I like that analogy.

11:34🔗 Rebecca?

11:35🔗 Yes.

11:36🔗 Adam You're 14.

11:37🔗 Caller Yeah.

11:37🔗 Adam What's up?

11:39🔗 Caller Just a lot of stuff's been going on lately with me and my mother.

11:43🔗 Drew Uh-huh.

11:44🔗 Adam Are you depressed?

11:45🔗 Caller Yeah, it's really depressing me and I've been considering committing suicide. I've tried it before, but I have access to a garden.

11:53🔗 Drew Does she know you're thinking like this? Does anyone know?

11:58🔗 Caller No, I haven't really talked to anybody about it. I just recently, like, I ran away a few times.

12:05🔗 Drew Is your mom beating you or something?

12:08🔗 Caller Oh, she was abused a lot when she was younger and it's, it's really mentally screwed her up.

12:14🔗 Drew What's she doing to you?

12:16🔗 Caller And she's gotten aggressive with me before and she's, like, verbally abused me a lot. She's like, called me, like, obscene names, I don't think I can say.

12:28🔗 Adam Yeah. Where, where's the gun?

12:31🔗 Caller Um, it's in my dad's closet. It's his gun, but I have access to it.

12:36🔗 Adam I see. And so your parents are still together?

12:39🔗 Caller Yeah. But they don't share a room or anything. They haven't done anything together for, like, years.

12:45🔗 Adam Why? Your dad just living there for financial reasons?

12:48🔗 Caller No, he's, he's trying to keep it together for the kids, I guess.

12:52🔗 Adam I see.

12:53🔗 Caller Like, I think it'd be better if they get divorced because that way would get her out of the picture because I think he'd most likely get custody because he's bringing in the income and he's, he's an x-ray technician.

13:06🔗 Adam I see. And, and your dad, and you sound like you have a decent relationship.

13:11🔗 Drew Why don't you talk to him?

13:12🔗 Adam Yeah.

13:13🔗 Caller Um, well, I'm afraid if I talk to him, he'll try to admit me or something.

13:17🔗 Drew Had you been admitted before?

13:19🔗 Caller Um, no, I just, I just don't want to be admitted. I've heard a lot of bad things about it.

13:24🔗 Drew Wait a minute. The idea there is for you to get help. So you don't feel the way you're feeling, right?

13:29🔗 Caller Yeah.

13:31🔗 Drew That will be what happens if people started feeling worse after they were hospitalized, they would not be hospitalized. Hospitals. They wouldn't, right?

13:38🔗 Caller Yeah.

13:40🔗 Adam Hey, Rebecca. Your dad and you, you guys sound okay. Why don't you talk to the guy?

13:47🔗 Caller I've tried, but it's not like, it's not really making anything better because he's still gonna stay with her and he's also a preacher, so he's like staying with her for his ministry because he doesn't want to look bad. And it's like, he doesn't give.

14:03🔗 Adam All right. First of all, preacher, X-ray technician.

14:06🔗 Caller Yeah, because the church doesn't bring in very much income. And he also had that job, like he had the training for that job on the side. So he started getting into that.

14:14🔗 Adam This guy's versatile.

14:16🔗 Drew Rangey.

14:16🔗 Adam He's rangey. I mean, yeah, this, this.

14:18🔗 Drew Rebecca, you've got to commit to us that you're not gonna hurt yourself. You have to do that. And then what I'd like to do is call you back in about a week. And about a week for her, okay? Can we do that?

14:30🔗 Caller Yeah.

14:30🔗 Drew We go week to week here?

14:31🔗 Caller Yeah.

14:32🔗 Drew Like about a week to 10 days. We'll check in with you. In the meantime, you commit to us. You're not gonna be anywhere near that gun.

14:37🔗 Caller All right.

14:38🔗 Drew All right. And I'd like you to promise me that you're gonna try to get some help.

14:43🔗 Caller Well, I have a counselor and stuff, but...

14:45🔗 Drew All right. You got to be open with that counselor and you got to talk to her.

14:49🔗 Caller It's him.

14:50🔗 Drew Yeah.

14:50🔗 Adam Him. Is it a school counselor?

14:52🔗 Caller No, no. It was court ordered.

14:56🔗 Adam Oh, boy. How's that... How's she doing? I mean, you talk... Or he... You talked to him?

15:02🔗 Caller Oh, I've only been to one session with him. He's kind of out there. He keeps saying, like, I need to have fun and stuff. You need to get outside. You need to socialize with your friends. And I'm like, OK.

15:15🔗 Adam Well, you make some points.

15:17🔗 Caller And I was like, unless my friends are, like, in the pot, so I need to be around pot and get in trouble with my probation officer, that's going to help me.

15:24🔗 Drew Probation.

15:25🔗 Adam Well, you got a lot of people working for you.

15:27🔗 Caller Probation for running away three times and stealing my mother's van.

15:31🔗 Adam I see. Your mom drives a van, huh?

15:33🔗 Caller Yeah. Well, she doesn't anymore.

15:35🔗 Adam Oh, yeah. You wrapped around a telephone pole. Nice. It wasn't one of those custom vans that said Love Tron on the side. And rainbow tape, was it?

15:43🔗 Drew Big white tiger on the side.

15:45🔗 Caller It was a ghetto.

15:46🔗 Bryan Herta Oh, really?

15:46🔗 It was falling apart.

15:48🔗 Caller The doors were slinging open when I was driving.

15:51🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

15:51🔗 Adam But, you know, back in my day, we had vans, vans with water beds, vans with captain's chairs, vans with shag carpet on the roof.

15:58🔗 Drew Now crushed velvet all around.

16:00🔗 Adam You know, it's weird. When people go, yeah, my dad picked me up in the van. I'm always like, your dad's got a van? I'm picturing something jacked up with Kragers and, you know, like a wooden steering wheel. And I realized, now he's talking about a Chrysler minivan.

16:14🔗 Drew Yeah, and he's being like an airport pick up.

16:17🔗 Adam Yeah, I didn't know. Yeah.

16:18🔗 Caller It was just an old little minivan.

16:21🔗 Adam All right, but you wrecked it?

16:24🔗 Caller Oh, me and this guy that I was like seeing and stuff, we took it out in the woods and we were like mudding with it. And you're not supposed to take a minivan mudding.

16:33🔗 Adam No.

16:35🔗 Caller It had rained for days before that, so the mud was really bad. We got, like we camped out in the van for three days in a row because it was stuck out there.

16:43🔗 Adam Now listen, do you guys do donuts?

16:46🔗 Caller No, we didn't have any food. We had like two.

16:48🔗 Adam No, no. Donuts, donuts. It's a move you do when you get out in the mud with the van.

16:52🔗 Caller No, no, no, no, no, no. No, we were jumping.

16:55🔗 Adam Okay. We'll watch the S-word there, baby. And I'm picturing like a young Matt Dillon you're on the run with. Who is this guy?

17:04🔗 Caller Oh, he's, I have no clue anymore.

17:06🔗 Adam Okay. Hey, Rebecca?

17:08🔗 Drew Rebecca, we'll call you back in about ten days.

17:09🔗 Adam Don't kill yourself, but hey, don't come down, baby. You're running away. You're stealing the van. You're you're smoking the weed. You got a probation officer. I mean, baby, you're 14. Come on. Just slow it down. Could you do that?

17:25🔗 Caller I can try.

17:26🔗 Adam All right. Oh, my God. First, I was first I was thinking, geez, her parents. Then I was kind of thinking, I think Rebecca is kind of a wild child.

17:36🔗 Drew Yeah.

17:37🔗 Adam Stole mom's minivan.

17:39🔗 Bryan Herta My whole perspective has changed so much. I mean, since the first time I came on this show, I've got a three year old daughter now. And every time I hear 14 year old girl calling like that, I think that's 11 years away from me.

17:51🔗 Adam Oh, yeah. Oh, no, probably only like nine years, really, because things, they progress faster. Yeah, because today's 14 year old does what yesterday's 18 year old was doing. So it makes sense that tomorrow's 12 year old will be doing what the 14 and 15 year olds are doing. There's a figure about eight or nine years. Awful. Same with you, Drew. Oh, and Drew, you only got about three, three, four years. Thank you.

18:16🔗 Caller Yeah.

18:16🔗 Adam You're 18. Yes.

18:17🔗 Caller How are you doing?

18:18🔗 Adam What's up? You're on with Bryan Herta. He's a big time race car driver.

18:22🔗 Caller Awesome.

18:23🔗 Bryan Herta Hi.

18:23🔗 Caller Hi. How are you doing?

18:25🔗 Bryan Herta Good.

18:26🔗 Caller I'm just trying to find out my boyfriend's uncircumcised and the head of the penis will not come out of the foreskin. And also, I pulled it back earlier this evening and there seemed to be a piece of skin that attached to the foreskin and also to part of the head of the penis.

18:45🔗 Adam Well, here's how it works. If it does come out and it sees its own shadow, it means it's going to be a long winter. And if it doesn't see its own shadow, it's an early spring. Is that how it works?

18:57🔗 Drew Something like that. Well, there can be little pieces of skin that tack it down like that. Okay. And those can be cut if he wants to try to roll things back if it makes a difference to him.

19:06🔗 Caller But I know I've thought I've heard you talking on the show before about another girl that had a problem like this with their boyfriend and that it's something that could be concerned about.

19:14🔗 Drew No.

19:15🔗 Caller No. So it's okay that...

19:16🔗 Drew What I was talking about was stenosis where his whole life it was normal and all of a sudden he traumatized it and it starts shrinking around the tip and so it can't come out and then it keeps tearing and narrowing and tearing and narrowing and the only way to really undo that is to cut it all off, cut the portion of the body.

19:34🔗 Adam So what should he do? What should this guy do?

19:36🔗 Drew Probably nothing.

19:37🔗 Unless it bothers him.

19:39🔗 Drew Yeah, unless it troubles him.

19:40🔗 Adam All right. But you know, work a little armor roll or something into it. See if we can kind of loosen it up.

19:45🔗 Caller A little utter bomb?

19:47🔗 Drew Yeah.

19:47🔗 Adam I take mink oil to my penis every night before I go.

19:51🔗 Caller What about some clothespins? Maybe that'll work.

19:52🔗 Adam Some string.

19:53🔗 Drew To hold it back?

19:54🔗 Adam Yeah.

19:55🔗 Drew Yeah, just run a little barracks.

19:56🔗 Adam Yeah, no, use... Pull this up? No, you get the foreskin back by loosening up the prepuse with the mink oil. And then you use zip ties as plastic ties electricians use. Actually, cops use them now when they got a handcuff, a ton of people, like at a demonstration.

20:12🔗 Drew Good times.

20:13🔗 Caller Yeah.

20:14🔗 Adam Yeah, those things are strong.

20:16🔗 Bryan Herta You get the sense is bothering her more than it bothers him.

20:19🔗 Adam I think so. Yeah.

20:20🔗 Drew Well, you know, women are concerned about what they're exposing themselves to. It's like, whoa, what's up with this thing?

20:26🔗 Adam Yeah. I mean, I don't think she thinks there's a health hazard here.

20:29🔗 Drew I'm going to freak out a little bit about it.

20:30🔗 Adam You're a little cosmetic. All right. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. You can find him racing his car.

20:37🔗 Drew Adam has never gone to the first break ever. Ever.

20:41🔗 Adam He'll be down at the Long Beach Toyota Grand Prix or the Toyota Times Grand Prix. They used to call it way back, way back in the day. Race is on Sunday. Celebrity race is on Saturday. I hope they all go into the bay.

20:59🔗 Bryan Herta You're going to be in turn one watching it happen, aren't you?

21:03🔗 Adam Yeah. It's going to be like an Aaron Spellings old show from the 70s. I'll be wearing a silver jumpsuit, some wraparound sunglasses. David Allen Grier will be going through the chicane. You'll see me pull the antenna up on a little remote control box, light a cigarette and flip a toggle switch on it. Little red light goes off and his car goes into flames.

21:25🔗 Bryan Herta I thought maybe that you're sitting in the stands and they rush out looking for you. They call you down at the last second and come down from the stands and hop in the car, start from the back.

21:34🔗 Adam Yes. And I win and I weave my way through the pack.

21:37🔗 Bryan Herta Yes. In the Aaron Spelling version you do.

21:39🔗 Adam All right. Thank you. That's better. We'll take a little break. We'll be right back.

21:46🔗 We'll be right back. Call on the 1-800-LOVE-191.

22:21🔗 Adam Yep, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That'd be Dr. Drew over there. Phone number, 1-800-LAVE-191. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. Bryan is a good race car driver and a good guy. And he's been in here, with the exception of last year. This'll be his fourth time?

22:39🔗 Bryan Herta Oh my, more.

22:40🔗 Adam Fifth time.

22:41🔗 Bryan Herta Fifth, sixth.

22:42🔗 Adam Fifth, sixth time.

22:43🔗 Drew Weren't you up here once, the guy that got killed driving? Was that you?

22:48🔗 Bryan Herta No.

22:49🔗 Drew We had someone up here. Remember this?

22:50🔗 Adam Yeah, we had a driver who was on here with a few other drivers. And I'm going to think of those guys' names in a second. He was killed in the Toronto Grand Prix.

23:02🔗 Bryan Herta Oh, Jeff.

23:03🔗 Drew Jeff.

23:04🔗 Adam Yeah, just a week later.

23:07🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, it was. That's right.

23:08🔗 Drew You were up here with him. That's what I thought.

23:10🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

23:11🔗 Drew That was like your first time up here.

23:13🔗 No.

23:14🔗 Drew Second time.

23:14🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. I was I was on in the previous incarnation of this show.

23:20🔗 Adam I mean, you were here when I wasn't even here.

23:21🔗 Bryan Herta That's right. Yeah. Technically, I've been here longer than you.

23:24🔗 Adam Oh, I think I got more hours logged.

23:27🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, I really do.

23:29🔗 Adam God, I hope so. All right. And what? So anyway, Brian's going to be racing this Sunday in Long Beach at the Toyota Grand Prix. And that thing has been going on. Don't tell me. I'm going to guess. I'm going to say that thing started like, oh, man, it probably got on longer than I think. I think probably started like 79 or something right around there.

23:53🔗 Bryan Herta Seventy nine, eighty, early eighties.

23:56🔗 Adam And what now? It's a pretty tight course, isn't it? Do they change it a little bit each year?

24:01🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, it's changed the last few years because of the construction around the the aquarium and all the stuff that's going on down that area. But this year's layout is the same as last year's.

24:12🔗 Adam And what's the top speed there?

24:16🔗 Bryan Herta Almost 200, right around 200 down the shoreline.

24:19🔗 Adam Really? Really?

24:20🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, it's pretty fast.

24:21🔗 Adam That's nothing. That's fast.

24:24🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, it's fast on that surface because it's a street. It's not a smooth racetrack. It's bumpy.

24:32🔗 Adam Sure.

24:33🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

24:33🔗 Adam Yeah, and you got those left turn signals you got to wait for. The arrows, the kids running across the street, crossing guards, bums pushing shopping carts. I mean, it's a challenge. I didn't know. See, I knew it was kind of a tight track. And I know the shoreline is where the where the big straight is. But I thought it was more like I was going to say like 130 or something. I didn't I didn't know there's that big a straight.

24:56🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

24:57🔗 Adam Is it the same this same as it was a 200 the last five years? Oh, yeah. Well, I'll tell you, if you go to that race, I looked at Drew like it was going to go that way. If you were to if you were to leave outside while the sun was out, anyone who goes or the thing that's to me most interesting about it is, is right when you you walk across a bridge to get basically to the sort of infield of the racetrack. And that's a fairly long straight away that goes under that bridge. Probably the second longest straight away on the track. It's, I don't know, a half mile long or three quarters of a mile long or something. And they probably get up around 150 or something there.

25:38🔗 Bryan Herta No, about 180.

25:40🔗 Adam 180 there. Wow. The point is, is it goes right into a pretty tight hairpin. And as they go by you, you look down the straight away, and these guys are going through the gears, and they're whining, tacking the thing out. And you're looking at the thing, and you're going, throttle stuck. Guy's going into the wall. He's going into the wall. He should be slowing down. He's going into the wall. And then it's just huge downshifting and fire coming out of the exhaust pipe. And these guys just make this corner. But the next one will go by and you go, he's going into the wall. It's the same thing. And he makes a corner too. I mean, it's not even so much the top speed as it is the deceleration, then the turn, and then the acceleration again, then the deceleration again.

26:25🔗 Bryan Herta I can't even watch it sometimes.

26:26🔗 Adam It's crazy, isn't it?

26:28🔗 Bryan Herta It's more difficult for me to watch than to do.

26:30🔗 Adam Yeah, you ought to get up there with the gutsy guys and stand up on the bridge, buddy. Watch those cars go by. Sit nice and safe inside your little race car putting around the track. Get up with the men on the bridge. That's where the action is, right, Drew?

26:44🔗 Yeah.

26:45🔗 Adam Brad? Yeah. Yeah. Especially if you're stone. Then it's like 15 cars.

26:50🔗 He's gone in the wall.

26:52🔗 Adam Brad?

26:53🔗 Yeah.

26:53🔗 Adam What's up?

26:54🔗 I had a question about amdroids.

26:57🔗 It's like a steroid type thing.

26:59🔗 I was wondering if it's like damaging your health or whatever.

27:01🔗 Drew What is it you're talking about?

27:03🔗 It's like a legal steroid type thing.

27:05🔗 Drew You're talking about androstenedione, something like that?

27:06🔗 Yeah. Yeah.

27:08🔗 Drew That's not good for you.

27:09🔗 It's like some growth or anything.

27:11🔗 Drew Well, it could. It's converted to testosterone. It might accelerate the closure of your growth plates. It might cause heart problems and strokes.

27:18🔗 Adam What are you doing, Brad?

27:20🔗 Oh, nothing. It's just that like it can like increase like how bigger you get when you're...

27:24🔗 Drew That's right. Because you're taking testosterone basically.

27:26🔗 Adam It's how more bigger you get, by the way.

27:29🔗 Excuse me.

27:31🔗 Adam Proper verbiage. Are you playing football?

27:34🔗 No.

27:35🔗 Adam What are you doing? Listen, you're not doing anything. Don't bother. Chicks like skinny guys, not big guys.

27:42🔗 Yeah.

27:43🔗 Adam Yeah.

27:44🔗 All right. All right.

27:45🔗 Adam All right. Guys get big to scare other guys, not to get laid.

27:48🔗 Drew That's right.

27:49🔗 Adam It's all the, you know, David Bowies and Keith Richards of the world that are getting all the tail and like.

27:54🔗 Drew So guys are doing anything other than that which focuses them on getting laid, shouldn't waste their time.

27:59🔗 Adam I'm saying most guys who get themselves all bulked up are doing it to sort of screw with other guys or to intimidate other guys or to gain respect from other guys or so that other guys think they're getting laid. But when's the last time you talked to a woman who liked a big bulky guy? Like when a woman goes, I like a guy who's kind of short but thick, real thick, thick neck and huge arms. That's the guy. Unfortunately, chicks don't go for that. It's kind of nice of them, really. And the ones that do, you got to be nervous about. You know what I'm talking about, Drew? Oh yeah. You've dated a few of them. Jamie?

28:39🔗 Caller Yeah.

28:39🔗 Adam You're 21?

28:40🔗 Caller Yeah.

28:41🔗 Adam What's up?

28:41🔗 Caller So, the hernia.

28:43🔗 Adam Yeah, yeah. That's right. Third nut.

28:45🔗 Caller Yeah. So anyway...

28:46🔗 Drew You had a hernia repair.

28:48🔗 Caller Yeah. The doctor wants to lance it but he's worried on what it's gonna do.

28:52🔗 Drew So it's not a third nut. It's like it's a cyst or an abscess or something, right?

28:56🔗 Caller Yeah. What he was explaining was I guess you can only dig so far into the scrotum to remove the hernia material. And so it's like the leftover stuff that's been collecting fluids and since the beginning of January.

29:09🔗 Drew Right. So he needs to have it. It's a cyst. It needs to be taken out.

29:12🔗 Caller Yeah. So he wants to wait two more months to see if it absorbs into the body.

29:16🔗 Drew That's fine.

29:17🔗 Adam Is that your kid or do you have a bobcat?

29:19🔗 Caller No, that's my kid.

29:20🔗 Adam I see.

29:21🔗 Caller She won't go to sleep.

29:22🔗 Adam Yeah. You got to get her drunk.

29:24🔗 Caller Well, no, usually I turn on Loveline and she falls asleep.

29:27🔗 Adam Yeah, that doesn't for most people, really. Drew usually starts going to bed when the show begins.

29:32🔗 Caller Well, I can't go to sleep until it's over.

29:34🔗 Adam I see. Oh, thanks.

29:36🔗 Drew So he's in underpropriate care. He doesn't have a third nut. He has a cyst, which is a remnant of the surgery. Why are you calling us?

29:44🔗 Caller Well, because I want to know is because he's scared. He doesn't want to get it done because he thinks it's going to absorb, but it's been like this.

29:49🔗 It hasn't gone down at all.

29:50🔗 Drew We'll see. We'll see. If it doesn't absorb, he will have to have it done.

29:55🔗 What exactly are they going to do?

29:56🔗 Caller Are they just going to like cut it and drain it?

29:58🔗 Drew Sometimes. Sometimes they actually take them out.

30:00🔗 Caller Ew.

30:01🔗 Adam Hey, Jamie.

30:02🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

30:03🔗 Adam You had a kid, right?

30:05🔗 Caller Yeah.

30:05🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

30:05🔗 Adam You know about gookie stuff.

30:07🔗 Caller Yeah.

30:08🔗 Adam This is nothing compared to that.

30:10🔗 Caller Yeah. He won't let me watch stone. I want to watch.

30:12🔗 Drew You want to watch the operation?

30:13🔗 Caller Yeah.

30:14🔗 Adam Yeah. What's in it for you?

30:16🔗 Caller I don't know.

30:16🔗 Puss.

30:18🔗 Drew I don't think it's going to be a Puss. It might be. It might be Debbi.

30:20🔗 Adam Well, why don't they save the Puss? And you can freeze it and make it into a pupsicle.

30:26🔗 Caller Oh, yuck.

30:27🔗 Adam Well, what's up with you? Why do you want to be near that hospital when he's getting his sack drained?

30:32🔗 Caller I don't know. It's just it's fun. My friend had gotten bit by a black widow and I watched him drain it.

30:38🔗 Yeah.

30:39🔗 Caller I just like Puss. It's fun.

30:40🔗 Adam Are you one of the Hatfields or the McCoys? What the hell is going on over there?

30:46🔗 Caller I'm not your average chick.

30:47🔗 Adam No kidding. All right. Listen, Vampyra.

30:51🔗 Caller Yeah.

30:52🔗 Adam Don't you have any more kids? You understand me?

30:54🔗 Caller Oh, come on.

30:55🔗 Adam Oh, please. Yeah. Listen, I see you. I can just see you now up at Sturgis on the back of a Harley right now throwing your chewing tobacco at some guy. Come on.

31:06🔗 Caller Thanks.

31:07🔗 Adam All right. You got some tattoos?

31:10🔗 Caller Three.

31:10🔗 Adam Yeah. You like a biker chick?

31:13🔗 Caller No.

31:13🔗 Adam All right. Yeah.

31:15🔗 What's really to do with pigtails?

31:17🔗 Adam What's your what's your guy do? Is he do some welding, construction?

31:21🔗 Caller No, he does customer service for a DVD rental place.

31:24🔗 Adam That was my next guess. I know it was a welder or a biker or he did customer service for a DVD rental place. Drew, that was that's usually my third, right?

31:35🔗 Drew That and furniture sales.

31:37🔗 Adam Yeah. All right, baby. Take care of that kid of yours. Okay, thanks.

31:41🔗 Drew Bye bye.

31:42🔗 Adam I tell you, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near my significant other's private parts when they were being lanced, cut into, operated on.

31:52🔗 Drew How about stuff coming out of them like babies?

31:55🔗 Adam No, no. Not my bag.

31:58🔗 Drew Were you present when you were born?

31:59🔗 Bryan Herta I was, I was. And my theory is this, other people having kids is gross. Your wife having a kid is pretty amazing.

32:07🔗 Adam Yeah, but you're healthy, right?

32:09🔗 Drew It freaks unhealthy guys out.

32:10🔗 Adam Bryan's healthy.

32:11🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

32:12🔗 Drew It freaks whacked out guys.

32:14🔗 Adam He was in his fire suit though, so he's not going healthy.

32:17🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, with my Superman costume underneath.

32:20🔗 Adam Oh man. Kyle?

32:22🔗 Yeah.

32:22🔗 Adam You're 26.

32:24🔗 Caller Yeah, I'm old.

32:25🔗 Adam Yeah, what's up?

32:28🔗 Caller I had a question about smoking pot. I had history with smoking pot, like when I was younger. Started when I was 16 and smoked until, I'd say about 23. So I've been off of it for about three years. And recently I just started smoking it before bed to get to sleep. That's like my main thing. I'm getting a little concerned about it just because...

32:56🔗 Drew Well, marijuana addiction, it's like an addiction. The hard part is not stopping, it's staying stopped. Yeah, and you're not able to do that. And secondly, what concerns me is there are other things you're doing, right? No. No alcohol?

33:13🔗 Caller Oh yeah, I drink all the time on the weekends.

33:15🔗 Drew Okay, exactly.

33:16🔗 Caller On the weekends, I'm a...

33:17🔗 Adam No, I don't get kind of sending Drew.

33:19🔗 Drew I'm a lush on the weekends.

33:21🔗 Adam All right.

33:21🔗 Caller I am a lush on the weekends. Yeah, I don't drink during the weeknights. And I think that's another reason why I smoke pot at night.

33:29🔗 Adam Weeknights are Tuesday through Thursday?

33:32🔗 Yeah, no, Monday through Friday.

33:34🔗 Adam Oh, okay, because really a lot of our listeners don't count Monday and Friday.

33:39🔗 Caller No, no, I don't drink on the weeknights just because I know I won't be able to get up.

33:43🔗 Drew And there's alcohols in your family, right?

33:46🔗 Caller Oh, yeah, yeah. My dad's an alcoholic. My grandmother was an alcoholic.

33:51🔗 Drew Well, you inherited the genetic potential and the marijuana is your primary drug. What happens with pot is it wears off. It's affectionate, whereas if you switch over to this stuff, so you've made the switch over to alcohol, but you're supplementing it with the pot, but you won't go all the way back to the pocket. It doesn't work as well as it used to for you.

34:07🔗 Adam So what's he doing now? What's he got to do?

34:09🔗 Drew He's got to stop everything completely.

34:11🔗 Adam Oh, boy. That is it. I'm telling you, that's why I'm not getting out of control with anything. I love everything so much. No way. You know what I'm saying, Drew?

34:20🔗 Drew Good times.

34:21🔗 Adam Yeah. I mean, I like everything, you know?

34:25🔗 Drew You love everything.

34:26🔗 Adam I love things.

34:27🔗 Drew Masturbation, pot, red wine.

34:29🔗 Adam What was that first one? Yeah.

34:31🔗 Drew Napping.

34:34🔗 Adam Oh, I didn't take a nap. I was going to take a nap tonight. I didn't do it.

34:39🔗 Bryan Herta Big nap fan.

34:40🔗 Adam Are you a big nap fan?

34:41🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

34:41🔗 Adam All geniuses nap.

34:43🔗 Bryan Herta Is that true?

34:44🔗 Adam I don't know. I'd like to think that was true. Yeah.

34:47🔗 Bryan Herta I'm with you on that theory.

34:48🔗 Adam Geniuses and Mexicans, they all nap. I think the Mexicans are geniuses because they close down from noon to like four. Every day. And take a nap. I love that. I love that. I gotta move there. Or somewhere in Europe, Spain or something. I like a town that naps. This town doesn't nap. I don't like that. You nap, right?

35:09🔗 Bryan Herta Absolutely.

35:10🔗 Adam What's your, what are you good for? I mean, you get the quick nap? You get the long nap?

35:16🔗 Bryan Herta I can put in two hours without thinking about it.

35:18🔗 Adam Nice. Wow. Wow. I just went from infatuated to in love with Bryan Herta, everybody. Now I found out he's a nap. Leave your wife. Let's start a super race of car enthusiast nappers.

35:30🔗 Bryan Herta It's not an everyday thing.

35:32🔗 Drew How would you guys form your genetic union?

35:34🔗 Adam I don't know.

35:35🔗 Drew How would that happen?

35:36🔗 Adam We'd whack off into a Cuisinart and give it to some supermodel.

35:41🔗 Drew Yeah, we'd clone. You'd put the sperm together and then take the genetic material out of an egg and then insert your combined sperm.

35:48🔗 Adam That's right. That's right. Hey, can we combine our sperm or just one sperm would win out?

35:54🔗 Drew No, I'm just talking about cloning. We actually take the center of the egg out so none of her stuff contaminates anything.

36:01🔗 Adam We take the yolk out of the egg.

36:02🔗 Drew Yeah, put the combined...

36:04🔗 Adam I see...

36:05🔗 Drew .half of...

36:05🔗 Bryan Herta It would be half Adam, half Bryan.

36:07🔗 Adam Interesting.

36:08🔗 Drew Yeah, see?

36:09🔗 Bryan Herta Wow.

36:10🔗 Adam That's doable. Yeah, I mean, you know, you got good hand-eye coordination with the race car driving. I got good hand-eye coordination flying the model airplanes. You know, we, we, yeah, I mean, we could create the superhuman. I'm cagey. You're crafty. We love napping. We love cars. Really do something here. All right, write that down, Drew. We're going to get to work on that. Don't tell your wife, though.

36:34🔗 Drew I don't want to get...

36:34🔗 Adam No, that's all right. This is none of her business.

36:37🔗 Drew He just doesn't want to fight with her.

36:38🔗 Bryan Herta She's not listening tonight, sir.

36:40🔗 Adam All right, good. When we come back, we'll have a question for Bryan about getting into the Cart Series after this.

37:11🔗 Caller You're listening to Loveline on Outrageous Talk Radio. 100.7 The Buzz.

37:22🔗 Caller Hi, this is Nav Campbell, and you're listening to Loveline with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.

37:27🔗 Adam Hey, it is Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. He is a big time race car driver who you can find in Long Beach this Sunday, going 200 miles an hour down Shoreline Drive at the Long Beach Toyota Grand Prix, 25th year. Just talking to Bryan about his 2.6-liter motor.

37:56🔗 Drew 2.65.

37:57🔗 Adam Yeah, I know. But I just said 2.6 because they will, they round up. They don't go into the hundreds with the liters. Know what I'm saying?

38:06🔗 Drew I see.

38:06🔗 Adam You got a 4.4 in your BMW. I got a 3.2. That's where they, they round up usually. But 2.6 and a half liter engine putting out 800 or 900 horsepower.

38:21🔗 Drew Oh, my God.

38:22🔗 Adam Oh, yeah. That's what you can get through the beauty of turbocharging and alcohol fuel. Yeah. But you see, you don't, you don't feel that horsepower under 6000 rpm, do you really?

38:39🔗 Bryan Herta No, you're never, you're never under 6000 rpm.

38:42🔗 Adam No, it's got to be wound up all the time, right?

38:45🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

38:46🔗 Drew Where do you run it usually?

38:47🔗 Bryan Herta 14, 15, 16,000.

38:50🔗 Adam Yeah, that's crazy. You got to have a built engine to take that. But that's the only time it's really producing power. You have no torque on the lower end. And the engine is such a low compression engine to accommodate so much boost from the turbocharger that you have to have it wound up. That's the only way you can produce power from the turbocharger. Because the turbocharger is powered by the exhaust gases. So it's got to be spun up all the time, right?

39:20🔗 Bryan Herta I'm impressed.

39:21🔗 Adam Oh, yeah.

39:22🔗 Bryan Herta You know more about it than I do.

39:23🔗 Adam Yeah. I mean, see, the thing is you can't have a high compression engine and put a turbocharger on it. It'll blow up. It's too much too much pressure in the cylinder. You'll have pre detonation, pinging.

39:36🔗 Yeah.

39:37🔗 Adam All right. But they got to make them real low compression. So they don't really run very well until they're really wound up. You know, yeah, you're 16. What's up?

39:48🔗 Caller I'm like really interested in becoming a race car driver.

39:52🔗 Adam Done.

39:52🔗 Caller I'm just wondering how I could go about that. Like I got this fire from like the Skip Barber Racing School.

39:59🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

39:59🔗 Caller I know they have something to do with cart and stuff.

40:02🔗 Bryan Herta Right.

40:03🔗 Caller I wasn't like, I just wasn't sure like, what did you do?

40:06🔗 Bryan Herta Uh, go, going to one of the racing schools is a good first step. Uh, another thing you can do is you can go on, uh, you can go online and look at www.lasvegascarting.com, Carting with a K. And, uh, carting is, is pretty much the way most guys start out. Uh, especially at 16, you're, you're probably a little young to go to the racing school.

40:28🔗 Caller I wasn't sure if they'd let me go to Skip Barber.

40:31🔗 Bryan Herta See that Las Vegas Carting, I actually own a go-kart track in Las Vegas. So I'm, I'm really, I'm plugging a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. But, um, What is it?

40:40🔗 Drew There's like a racetrack outside of Las Vegas.

40:42🔗 Adam Sort of a speedway.

40:43🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

40:43🔗 Drew Oh, the speedway. Every time I fly over Vegas, I'm like, what the hell is that thing?

40:45🔗 Bryan Herta That's to the north. Yeah. To the south. If you drive in off the 15, right before you get to Lake Mead Boulevard on the right side there, you see, you see, uh, our track, which, uh, if you go on the website, it's got all kinds of information on carting and you can kind of research it and go out to a race or two and get a look around. That's, that's the best way to get started. It's the cheapest and, uh, really the way you can learn the most.

41:10🔗 Adam Most race car drivers start carting, right?

41:13🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. 90, 95% of the guys that I'm racing against all started, you know, at a young age doing that.

41:19🔗 Adam They, uh, Reno?

41:21🔗 Caller Yeah.

41:21🔗 Adam There you go.

41:22🔗 Caller Also, wait, one other thing, Adam, I remember, like, probably, like, it was a while ago, like a month ago, you were bitching about how your grandmother left, like, some long message on your cell phone.

41:31🔗 Drew Adam bitching?

41:31🔗 Caller I'm shocked.

41:32🔗 Drew Yeah. No way.

41:33🔗 Adam Yeah, it was me, yeah.

41:34🔗 Caller And you couldn't, like, skip it.

41:36🔗 Adam Right.

41:36🔗 Caller Skip it and erase it, just press 7-7.

41:38🔗 Adam Yeah, uh, 7-7, really? Cause, you know, I had somebody tell me how to skip it and erase it, too, and I tried and it didn't work on my cell system.

41:46🔗 Caller I had the Nokia, too, and it took me, like, forever, and somebody finally told me that.

41:50🔗 Adam So you pressed 7-7?

41:51🔗 Caller Yeah, and it helps a lot.

41:52🔗 Adam Oh, okay. Thank you.

41:54🔗 Caller That's a waste of time.

41:55🔗 Adam Thank you.

41:55🔗 Caller You guys are awesome.

41:56🔗 Adam Thanks. Good luck racing.

41:59🔗 Caller All right. Thanks a lot. All right.

42:01🔗 Adam My grandmother called me and didn't put the phone, she called me on my cell phone, and she didn't put the phone back down on her receiver properly. So my phone kept recording it, and because my phone's a piece of ass, I can't erase calls that I want to erase by just, you know, at the end of the call they tell you if you want to erase it you can erase it. 3-3. 3-3?

42:23🔗 Bryan Herta 3-3.

42:24🔗 Adam Not 7-7?

42:26🔗 Bryan Herta Someone told me that too. If you have AT&T, it's 3-3. All right.

42:30🔗 Adam I got to work this out because I heard my grandmother rambling on in the distance, in the background for like 40 minutes, and I was going insane because I couldn't fast-forward it and I couldn't hang it up, and I had to wait for the thing to go all the way through, and it just kept going. I don't even know why it eventually hung up.

42:47🔗 Bryan Herta 3-3, put you at the end of the message.

42:49🔗 Drew It's not the phone, it's the service, and you just have to figure out what that is.

42:52🔗 Adam Thank you. Thank you, Anderson. Anderson says, don't blame the phone, blame the service.

42:57🔗 Drew Yeah.

42:57🔗 Adam Okay. I feel better now. Thank you.

43:00🔗 Caller Connor?

43:01🔗 Hey, how you doing?

43:01🔗 Adam Hey, you're 14.

43:03🔗 Caller Yeah.

43:03🔗 Adam What's up?

43:04🔗 Caller Nothing much.

43:05🔗 Caller So...

43:06🔗 Adam All right. Did we catch you at a bad time?

43:08🔗 Caller Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

43:10🔗 Caller You know, it's kind of hard to talk when you got a towel around you.

43:15🔗 Adam Where's it? Where's the towel?

43:19🔗 Drew How old are you?

43:19🔗 Adam You know, 14.

43:21🔗 Bryan Herta 14.

43:24🔗 Adam See, we get 14 year olds. Well, this guy's not a virgin.

43:27🔗 Drew No.

43:29🔗 Adam Connor?

43:30🔗 Caller No, I, um...

43:31🔗 Adam Are you a virgin?

43:32🔗 I made up that question.

43:34🔗 Adam Are you a virgin?

43:35🔗 No, I'm not. I mean, yeah, I am. You are? All right. Hang on, honey.

43:39🔗 Adam Listen, everybody who calls the show and says, um, I made up the question, just ask your question because, Drew, back me up here. I don't read the screen, do I?

43:49🔗 Drew No.

43:49🔗 Adam Do I have any idea what the question is?

43:51🔗 Drew No.

43:51🔗 Adam No, you write, you don't even write a number anymore. Drew puts a little Post-It stick-um piece of paper A little flag. next to the number of the call he wants. That's the number button I'm supposed to push on this thing. And I do. So you start telling me you made up your question. I haven't even heard it.

44:10🔗 Drew But see, if you say that, we have to hang up on you because we can't have people rewarded for making up questions.

44:16🔗 Adam That's right.

44:17🔗 Drew Only to get through. If you get through and no one else finds out about it, all right, we'll let it go.

44:23🔗 Adam Juan?

44:23🔗 Yes?

44:24🔗 Adam You're 24?

44:25🔗 Caller Yeah. The question I had was, well, I'm on the line with my wife, Christina. She's also on the line. The question we had is that I have a problem with sleepwalking. And I've had it for a lot of years, of course. But now I'm starting to, I guess I'm having sex with my wife. No. I'm asleep.

44:43🔗 Drew No, that happens. Yeah.

44:45🔗 Caller I'm sorry?

44:46🔗 Drew That happens. How often does that happen to you?

44:49🔗 Caller Well, it's kind of funny, but it only happens to me when I think about sex before I go to sleep. Well, that's what I noticed.

44:56🔗 Drew How often is that?

44:58🔗 Adam When you think about it?

44:59🔗 Caller Like four times a week.

45:02🔗 Adam Hey, Christina?

45:03🔗 Caller Yes.

45:03🔗 Adam You there?

45:04🔗 Caller Yes.

45:04🔗 Big joker here.

45:06🔗 Adam Does this bother you?

45:08🔗 Caller It bothers me because we don't realize till we wake up that we're not using protection.

45:13🔗 Adam I see.

45:13🔗 Caller I'm not sure exactly what has happened.

45:15🔗 Caller Don't you wake up?

45:18🔗 The truth is, I must sleep most of the time too.

45:21🔗 Adam Wow, he must be good. He's rocking your world.

45:26🔗 Caller But I might get pregnant if there's no protection being used.

45:29🔗 Drew Why don't you go on the pill?

45:32🔗 Caller I'm considering it now.

45:33🔗 Drew Well, that's what we need to do.

45:36🔗 Adam Why don't you strap a condom on?

45:38🔗 What should I tell him?

45:40🔗 Adam Yeah, before he goes to bed. That way, if he dreams he's on the toilet, you have protection. Well, can't you... You couldn't use my condom garter idea?

45:51🔗 Drew You could if you'd actually manufacture it the way you should have.

45:54🔗 Adam Yeah, this is basically a piece of elastic with two alligator clips, two roach clips on each side. You stretch it around your back and you snap it on each side of the condom. It's a condom garter. It keeps the condom up. I think they're offering one that's wide in the back for lower back support. Guys like me are a little bit older but still enjoy sex.

46:11🔗 Drew Little heating device back there?

46:13🔗 Adam Well, it's going to have the holster for the beer and the TV remote, the dental floss.

46:18🔗 Drew Local heat for the low back there.

46:19🔗 Adam Yeah, but then you're getting in electronics and potential for fire.

46:24🔗 Drew Okay.

46:25🔗 Adam You're really asking for trouble there, Drew.

46:27🔗 Caller But is there any way that we could prevent this? I mean, is there like any treatment?

46:31🔗 Drew You would have to have a sleep study done to see what the nature of your sleep disturbance was and there may well be medication that could help you. But at this point, the important thing is to be sure that you shouldn't get pregnant. So she's got to get on the pill. And I'm sure there are also behavioral techniques and some of the things they can do, barriers and things they can put in there so you're not...

46:48🔗 Adam Yeah, you put a little cinderblock wall in between the two of you. Is that what you're saying?

46:54🔗 Drew Or the equivalent.

46:55🔗 Adam OK. Hey, Juan, you a Hispanic guy? Yeah. You know what I love? I was just telling some guy, we got a Mexican guy who works with us, writer on The Man Show. I love when they yell, siéntate. You know what that means?

47:12🔗 Caller Say it again?

47:12🔗 Adam Siéntate.

47:14🔗 Drew Be quiet.

47:15🔗 Adam Sit down.

47:15🔗 Drew Sit down.

47:16🔗 Caller It's just siéntate.

47:17🔗 Drew Siéntate.

47:19🔗 Adam It's the greatest thing to yell at somebody.

47:22🔗 Caller Yeah, when we yell at our kids.

47:23🔗 Adam Yeah.

47:23🔗 Caller Siéntate.

47:25🔗 Adam It's great. I never knew what it meant, but it's like, all right, enough said. It's a great thing. And it's great when they put the please at the end, too, because it's very bizarre. It's like, siéntate.

47:36🔗 Bryan Herta Far, far, far.

47:40🔗 Adam All right, so let's see. You gotta get a sleep study done. Go to a local college and see about it.

47:45🔗 Drew No, no, no. Any hospital would have a sleep center these days, and get it evaluated if you wish. Okay?

47:49🔗 Adam All right.

47:49🔗 Bryan Herta Not possible to wake someone up to sleepwalking?

47:52🔗 Drew No, yeah, they could wake up, but I don't know why she doesn't wake up.

47:54🔗 Adam She doesn't wake up either.

47:56🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

47:56🔗 Drew But this is sometimes part of a more global sleep problem, even seizure disorders.

48:01🔗 Adam Okay, me huh. We're going to...

48:03🔗 me huh.

48:05🔗 Adam Me huh? We'll take a little...

48:10🔗 Drew Until we get back.

48:11🔗 Adam We'll take a little break. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight, and we'll be back after this.

48:18🔗 Loveline will be right back, So get your problems ready, ready.

49:02🔗 Adam Yep, Loveline. I'm Adam, that's Drew, phone number 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. He's a race car driver. He's got himself, well, he's second and a third in the Toyota Grand Prix, and he's shooting for first this weekend, Sunday, in Long Beach. Still tickets, I guess. That's what I hear. I don't know how they figure that out, by the way. How many people they get out there?

49:29🔗 Bryan Herta I don't know. It's a couple of hundred thousand.

49:31🔗 Yeah.

49:31🔗 Bryan Herta It's over the three days. It's about a quarter of a million people.

49:35🔗 Yeah.

49:35🔗 Adam A good three days. Now, the celebrity race is on Saturday.

49:39🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. Friday's practice. Yeah. All the cars are going on Friday. We qualify on Saturday, and then they have the celebrity race, a couple of other things, and then our race on Sunday.

49:49🔗 Adam Do they have go-kart races there anymore, or is that a million years ago?

49:53🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah. That was a long time ago. Yeah.

49:54🔗 Adam It's back in the day, Drew.

49:55🔗 Bryan Herta Back in the day. Yeah.

49:57🔗 Adam I used to run the track five in the morning. The only way you really learn a track is to run it.

50:01🔗 Drew Oh, actually run on foot.

50:02🔗 Adam Run it on foot. Full uniform, helmet.

50:04🔗 Bryan Herta That's nice. Yeah.

50:07🔗 Adam That's the way you learn the track. I tell Bryan to do that. He doesn't listen. It's a big time. But that's going on all weekend, and I'm going to be out there Sunday, standing on the bridge, freaking out. The people are going to go into the wall too fast. Chris?

50:22🔗 Yeah.

50:23🔗 Adam You're 29?

50:24🔗 Caller Yeah. How are you guys doing?

50:25🔗 Adam What's up?

50:26🔗 Caller Good. I had some questions for Bryan. Hey. Yeah. You're still driving for Chip?

50:33🔗 Bryan Herta No.

50:34🔗 Caller No?

50:35🔗 Caller Were you with him before?

50:36🔗 Bryan Herta Long time ago.

50:37🔗 Caller Oh, okay. Well, I guess I missed a few years there.

50:40🔗 Adam He's on Foresight now.

50:42🔗 Caller Oh, okay. I was just kind of wondering how you thought about Juan's move over to the F1.

50:48🔗 Adam You're talking about Juan Montoya? Juan Montoya?

50:50🔗 Caller Yeah.

50:51🔗 Adam It's up on the screen. Yeah, we don't want to.

50:55🔗 Drew The Spanish guy?

50:56🔗 Adam Yeah, Juan Montoya, the flying fan.

50:59🔗 Bryan Herta I mean, I think it was inevitable that he came over here from Formula One testing and always wanted to go back. So, you know, I'm fine with it.

51:10🔗 Drew What makes someone want to go from one to the other?

51:13🔗 Bryan Herta Prestige and money. I mean, the top guy over there, Schumacher, he's making, I think, 40 or 50 million dollars a year.

51:22🔗 Caller It's like 75 last year.

51:23🔗 Drew Does he own the cars too or?

51:25🔗 Bryan Herta No, no, that's just racing. Yeah, he's just a salary. Yeah, he's yeah, he's one of the top or if not the highest paid sports figure in the world.

51:33🔗 Adam Is that is that really his salary?

51:35🔗 Drew Is that the salary of the person?

51:37🔗 Bryan Herta No, that's the salary. No, and then he makes he makes he makes 60, 70, 75 million with all the merchandising and everything on top of the salary.

51:47🔗 Caller That's huge.

51:47🔗 Adam Total, total.

51:48🔗 Bryan Herta In addition to, yeah.

51:49🔗 Adam Oh yeah, salary is finally 25 million.

51:52🔗 Bryan Herta The salary is 40, 40 or 50.

51:54🔗 Caller Jesus Christ.

51:55🔗 Bryan Herta So I mean there's a lot, there's obviously there's a lot of money to be had, but probably in level of overall prestige worldwide, Formula One is still the top, but.

52:05🔗 Adam You know what's weird and I don't know if you have an answer for this, I can't figure out the economics of this stuff, like especially if you're, let's say you're talking about Formula One. I mean, you have millions of dollars.

52:18🔗 Drew Hundreds of millions.

52:20🔗 Adam Yeah. Well, I mean, many, many millions to keep a team running. I mean, you need a couple of cars, you need a couple of drivers, you get the whole crew and all support system and these, you know, these amazing rigs that are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars and everything. You have these events and I guess there's, you know, there's TV revenue that's generated from it. But, you know, there's a bad revenue on the car. There's a little bit on the car. There's the prestige, you know, where's all the profit coming from? I mean, is Ferrari selling more cars because they win Formula One?

52:57🔗 Bryan Herta I mean, is it making that translation? I mean, like, if you take a Ferrari example, that's part of their tradition, their history.

53:04🔗 Drew Yeah, but they're a business. Eventually, they go, Ah, fair enough.

53:07🔗 Caller Development, too. It's how they produce what eventually becomes on the production cars in the future.

53:15🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, I mean, that happens for sure.

53:17🔗 Adam But they could figure that out. There's cheaper ways of doing R&D.

53:21🔗 Bryan Herta It's a...

53:21🔗 Caller It's a prestige, too, definitely.

53:24🔗 Bryan Herta It becomes part of the culture. Just like, I mean, even Honda, you know, racing is part of the whole culture of the company.

53:31🔗 Adam Right. And... But I'm just wondering where the millions and millions and millions of dollars are coming in from.

53:40🔗 Bryan Herta Well, a lot of... A lot of it's come from the manufacturers.

53:42🔗 Adam Yeah, but it has to be, you know, cost-effective for them at a certain point, doesn't it?

53:48🔗 Drew The stockholders go, hey, enough of that crap. Let's put that back into the business.

53:51🔗 Bryan Herta Well, they must see results from it. They must see returns for it.

53:54🔗 Drew They just don't know what's happening.

53:55🔗 Bryan Herta No, come on. That kind of money wouldn't continually be spent, you know, year after year without some kind of result, without them seeing anything. I mean, I don't care how much you love something, you know, if you're spending 10, 20, 30 million dollars not getting anything for it, eventually you're not gonna love it so much anymore.

54:16🔗 Adam It's amazing too, because a lot of these companies were pioneers, they were in it for a long time, like Mercedes and Jag, and then they were out of it for a long time. Yeah, they were out of it, and now they're all coming back into it again, and it seems like just about everybody's into it.

54:34🔗 Drew What brought them back?

54:35🔗 Adam I don't know, how does that ever work? They just...

54:40🔗 Drew They saved the money to run the businesses.

54:42🔗 Adam Mercedes was a big time in the racing, and I don't know, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s maybe, and then they got out of it for like 20 years, and now they're huge again. I don't know, new guy takes over the company or something? I guess the same with Jag too. Yeah. Alright, but you know, the Porsche and Ferrari have always been around Ford. Hey Chris?

55:06🔗 Caller Yeah.

55:07🔗 Adam You're right. Are you done?

55:09🔗 Caller Oh no, I could have sprained tons of my...

55:11🔗 Adam Okay, you could, but you can't. Alex?

55:18🔗 Caller Hi.

55:19🔗 Adam You're 21?

55:20🔗 Caller Yes.

55:20🔗 Adam What's up?

55:21🔗 Caller I have a question about AIDS. I actually have two questions. My first question is, how long does it take for them to detect it? Like if you have it, the HIV virus or AIDS?

55:33🔗 Drew Well, you detect the antibody response to the virus and that can take up to, within two to four weeks, up to six months.

55:40🔗 Caller Okay. And my second question is, are there any places around here where I can go and like I don't have to tell them my name or...

55:49🔗 Drew Yeah, there are places called alternative test sites. And if there are any AIDS clinics, AIDS Project Los Angeles, you're in Pomona, that's some place you can call and get a referral.

55:58🔗 Caller Can you give me a number for that?

56:00🔗 Drew AIDS Project?

56:01🔗 Caller Yeah.

56:01🔗 Drew It's just in Los Angeles directory. I don't think we have that.

56:04🔗 Adam Let's call information and ask for AIDS Project LA.

56:08🔗 Caller Okay.

56:09🔗 Drew That's it.

56:10🔗 Caller All right.

56:11🔗 Adam What's up?

56:13🔗 Caller Basically, I had like a unprotected sex this weekend and I'm kind of freaking out about it. Yeah.

56:21🔗 Adam With what? A chick or a dude?

56:22🔗 Caller I was with a guy. Uh-huh.

56:24🔗 Adam Well, good times. And you suspect that the guy maybe wasn't playing it safe in the past?

56:31🔗 Caller Well, it's not so much that. Like we've talked about our histories before and he told me that he had like a blood transfusion a while ago. And how long ago? He said it was like a couple, not a couple months ago, but...

56:46🔗 Drew Well, that shouldn't put him at significant risk. Why did he have a transfusion?

56:49🔗 Caller He said he's like borderline hemophiliac.

56:53🔗 Drew No, he's lying to you.

56:54🔗 Caller Really?

56:55🔗 Drew That's something.

56:55🔗 Adam You don't have a transfusion for that, do you?

56:57🔗 Caller That's right.

56:57🔗 Drew Unless you've been massively bleeding because of the blood disorder.

57:00🔗 Caller Well, he said that like he had got a cut and he had lost a lot of blood and he's already been tested for that, but...

57:08🔗 Drew Well, there's something very fishy about his story. Something very fishy. But be that as it may, I don't know. Again, there's nothing specifically that puts him at risk.

57:19🔗 Adam Well, go get tested.

57:20🔗 Drew Let me ask you one last question, Bryan.

57:22🔗 Adam We can't just go get tested?

57:24🔗 Drew Was he the receptive partner?

57:25🔗 Caller Yeah.

57:27🔗 Drew Were you the catcher?

57:29🔗 Caller Yeah. I guess I would be the... If anything, I would be the catcher.

57:32🔗 Adam That puts him more at risk, right?

57:34🔗 Drew Yeah.

57:34🔗 Caller All right.

57:35🔗 Adam Get self-tested, Alex.

57:36🔗 Caller Okay.

57:37🔗 Adam And be careful, would you?

57:38🔗 Caller All right. Thank you. All right. Bye.

57:42🔗 Adam Let's talk to Chad, who knows how the economics of all this stuff works out. We were just asking a few minutes ago, how does Ferrari put out $100 million a year and make their money back, essentially, doing Formula One? And Chad has an answer. Although I'd be willing to bet that Chad's answer is not going to satisfy any of us. Because if I know Loveline, we never get a satisfactory answer, but hopefully we'll be surprised. Chad.

58:10🔗 Caller Adam.

58:10🔗 Adam How are you, buddy?

58:11🔗 Caller Hey, pretty good. Dude, it's an honor to be talking to you. I listen to you guys every night.

58:15🔗 Adam Thanks, Chad.

58:16🔗 Drew Thanks, dude.

58:17🔗 Adam How does this work, this economics, is shelling out $100 million and making it back? Okay.

58:22🔗 Caller Well, the thing with Ferrari, actually, a couple of years ago, they were doing pretty bad financially, so Fiat bought them out. And Fiat makes, like, tons of cars and just tons of little piece of ass cars that they sell in Italy and Europe and stuff.

58:39🔗 Drew Where does the money come from for racing?

58:41🔗 Caller Fiat just dumps it into Ferrari.

58:43🔗 Drew Where does that money come from?

58:44🔗 Adam No, that's where it comes from. But that's not how they're making it back.

58:48🔗 Drew Yeah.

58:48🔗 Adam That's how they're spending it. I told you we weren't going to get an answer.

58:51🔗 Drew That's like saying Ford is a big company.

58:55🔗 Adam Well, the CEO of Ford's uncle died and left them a lot of money. So now they're back in racing. But it doesn't explain the economics of it. It just means they got more revenue to do it.

59:04🔗 Caller Well, there's that and the stickers on the cars cost a ton of money to put on.

59:09🔗 Adam The sponsors.

59:10🔗 Drew Hundreds of millions?

59:12🔗 Caller No, not that much, actually. Michael Schumacher's payroll is all from his endorsement. Ferrari doesn't pay him anything to race.

59:22🔗 Adam Really?

59:23🔗 Caller Yeah, it's all from what? Marlboro and Tic Tac and...

59:26🔗 Adam No.

59:27🔗 Caller Yeah.

59:27🔗 Adam No.

59:28🔗 Caller Yeah, it really is.

59:29🔗 Adam We have Bryan Herta here and he says no.

59:30🔗 Drew He goes somewhere else, I think, because people are willing to pay him a salary in addition to all those endorsements he gets.

59:36🔗 Caller Well, I don't know. I guess he likes Ferrari a lot or something.

59:39🔗 Drew All right. Yeah.

59:39🔗 Adam All right, Chad.

59:40🔗 Drew I don't know it was the right thing. Thanks a lot. That was the operand. I don't know.

59:44🔗 Adam But I'm glad we had some light shed on that because it was bothering me.

59:48🔗 Bryan Herta You know, the thing is here, I can't even satisfactorily answer that question. I mean, obviously it happens and there's got to be some economic.

59:58🔗 Adam Well, the answer the answer is they don't make their money back directly off of it, but they make it back hypothetically or theoretically in prestige and in label branding.

1:00:13🔗 Bryan Herta That's the word they use now.

1:00:15🔗 Adam Branding, but you would just think Ferrari just had enough branding to go around, but I guess that's why they're Ferrari.

1:00:22🔗 Drew There must be some historical precedent with what Mercedes did, for instance, that they could study and say, hey, you know what, it's worth it to be back in this business.

1:00:29🔗 Bryan Herta And I wouldn't even be surprised if in that particular case there's some government money. I mean, Ferrari is an institution in Italy. I mean, I think the country would be upheaval if they tried to pull out a race.

1:00:41🔗 Adam Oh, yeah.

1:00:42🔗 Bryan Herta Fanatical on a level that, you know, sports fans here probably couldn't even understand. I mean, it's Ferrari.

1:00:48🔗 Adam Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

1:00:49🔗 Bryan Herta They've got their fans are called the Defosi, and they are, I mean, unbelievably passionate towards racing.

1:00:57🔗 Adam No, Defosi means drunken Guinea in Italian, by the way. Yeah. Well, listen, these are people who tear down soccer stadiums when their team loses. This is all they got. They got soccer and Ferrari over there.

1:01:09🔗 Bryan Herta That's it.

1:01:10🔗 Adam Yeah. They're crazy. And you can see them taking a certain amount of pride in Ferrari over there.

1:01:15🔗 Drew I guess to own one of their cars over there is what they find bizarre.

1:01:18🔗 Adam Nobody in Italy. No, no, but that doesn't matter. They don't play on the soccer team either. It's theirs. That's the way they look at it. All right. And sometimes, and then we won't labor this point anymore, but sometimes some guy will die, some old guy, and his grandson will take over the business, and he'll just be a crazy racing enthusiast, and he'll say, we're going racing again. And who cares how much it costs? And that happens a lot of times historically with these car companies. Dave?

1:01:51🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:01:51🔗 Adam You're 28.

1:01:52🔗 Caller Yeah, what's up?

1:01:53🔗 Adam What's up?

1:01:54🔗 Caller Nothing.

1:01:54🔗 Caller I've been hooked on heroin. I'm not afraid to say it, obviously, for about two years. And my friends, everyone I know is on methadone. I mean, and it just seems to me it's like another drug.

1:02:07🔗 Drew It is.

1:02:07🔗 Adam Yeah. And by the way, that means your life ain't going great when everyone you know is on methadone.

1:02:13🔗 Caller No, absolutely. That's why I extract myself from that situation.

1:02:16🔗 Adam Right.

1:02:17🔗 Caller And you can't run from your problems within yourself, but you can run from the surroundings that create these problems. Does that make sense?

1:02:26🔗 Drew Being in safe surroundings is helpful.

1:02:28🔗 Caller Yeah, it helps a lot.

1:02:29🔗 Drew It's helpful. Yeah.

1:02:30🔗 Caller Absolutely.

1:02:31🔗 Drew Leaves you just to your heroin.

1:02:33🔗 Caller Yeah. So my question to Drew.

1:02:36🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:02:37🔗 Caller Excuse me. Dr. Drew is basically, I mean, I've heard a lot of bad things, constipation, sexual drive, a lot of things diminish.

1:02:45🔗 Drew With methadone.

1:02:45🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:02:46🔗 Drew Yeah. Same thing with heroin too.

1:02:47🔗 Caller Well, absolutely. I mean, you don't even, you know, you can't even get out of bed.

1:02:51🔗 Drew Yeah. So what's the question?

1:02:53🔗 Caller Well, the sickness basically is what's getting to me and I'm...

1:02:57🔗 Drew Well, why don't you go get treated?

1:02:58🔗 Caller So what's your theory on treatment to get away from this? Basically, you're saying I got to get through this sickness regardless.

1:03:05🔗 Drew No, you get through, you mean the detox?

1:03:07🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:03:08🔗 Drew You get through the detox, you'll start using again. Guaranteed. 100%.

1:03:12🔗 Adam Well, now we will. You just get in the case of death.

1:03:14🔗 Drew That is a 100% probability with heroin or you'll use something else.

1:03:18🔗 Caller Say that again? I couldn't hear you.

1:03:21🔗 Drew The detox is no big deal. You'll get through that, no problem. But then you'll use again with 100% prediction.

1:03:28🔗 Adam So he should kill himself? What is he saying?

1:03:30🔗 Drew Because of the nature of addiction. It's a part of your brain that's operating without any influence in your conscious brain.

1:03:36🔗 Caller Absolutely. I've been ADD since I was nine.

1:03:39🔗 Drew Well, be that as it may, you need to get treatment for your addiction, which is a long process. It would take a couple of months, at least in some sort of structured environment. And you need to do it.

1:03:48🔗 Caller Yeah, well, I...

1:03:48🔗 Drew You need to go call the Impact House or call Loss of Sinus and get your butt in there.

1:03:52🔗 Caller Yeah, well, I've been on programs before I quit. And I mean, it says in the book, you get a relapse. It's not like a free, you know, get out of jail card. But you still have this period where you automatically, you're feeling good and you get back into it. And that's just the reason of my chemical imbalance.

1:04:10🔗 Drew It is you weren't doing adequately in your treatment. I don't know what you were doing, but you weren't you weren't participating thoroughly in treatment.

1:04:17🔗 Adam All right, Dave, hang on the line, because producer Ann wants to talk to you possibly about borrowing money or what? No, I think we're going to put together a show down the road.

1:04:28🔗 Bryan Herta Go ahead.

1:04:29🔗 Drew Oh, really?

1:04:30🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

1:04:31🔗 Drew We'll give them Los Encinas and A. Ann. Ann, Impact House and Los Encinas Hospital. Those are the two.

1:04:37🔗 Adam Yeah, Impact House.

1:04:39🔗 Drew Yeah, that's a good one.

1:04:40🔗 Adam That's like a good positive kind of name, a little scary. What a good Impact House.

1:04:44🔗 Drew Really scary place.

1:04:45🔗 Adam I'm scared to get hit with something.

1:04:46🔗 Drew Big walls and it's a good place.

1:04:49🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:04:49🔗 Adam Don't they have something called Pillow House?

1:04:51🔗 Drew No, they have a...

1:04:52🔗 Caller Hmm.

1:04:53🔗 Adam How about House of Pancakes? Now, that's the kind of treatment I could check myself into. House of Waffles.

1:05:00🔗 Drew They have the Duvet House.

1:05:02🔗 Adam The Duvet House. Yeah, something like the House of Quilts, House of Bedspreads. Something that sounds just a little less in your face than Impact House. Chris?

1:05:14🔗 Caller Yes?

1:05:15🔗 Adam You're 24. What's up?

1:05:17🔗 Caller Well, I'm sitting here at work and for the last couple weeks, everybody's been making fun of me because I seem to like heavy set girls. Yeah.

1:05:25🔗 Adam That's funny.

1:05:26🔗 Caller That's not funny because I even have a house. Bring home girls and everybody laughs at me because they're big girls.

1:05:33🔗 Adam Yeah, it's funny to your friends, so.

1:05:36🔗 Caller You know, I don't know what's up with that.

1:05:39🔗 Adam What do you do for a living?

1:05:41🔗 Caller Well, I'm kind of at work right now, so I'd rather not say.

1:05:44🔗 Adam Okay.

1:05:45🔗 Drew Well, what's wrong with your preference? I think it's great.

1:05:48🔗 Caller Yeah, I think it is too. I like big breasts, big butt.

1:05:50🔗 Adam Nice.

1:05:51🔗 Caller All nine yards and they all just bag on me and I getting kind of sick of it.

1:05:55🔗 Adam Yeah, don't listen to them.

1:05:55🔗 Drew They're prejudiced.

1:05:57🔗 Adam Yeah. And it's easy pickings for you too. You got your pick of the litter when you like the big guys. Low self-esteem. You can have sex with them quick.

1:06:07🔗 Caller Oh yeah. Yeah. All right.

1:06:08🔗 Adam What happens when you get with one and she starts losing weight on you, though? That can happen.

1:06:13🔗 Caller I haven't had that happen yet.

1:06:15🔗 Adam No, it never happens. That's why.

1:06:16🔗 Caller I don't think it ever does happen.

1:06:18🔗 Caller No, it's not going to happen.

1:06:19🔗 Caller Yeah, they're all in their bag now. They're all laughing at me because I'm sitting back here.

1:06:22🔗 Drew I'm going to curse those guys, will you?

1:06:24🔗 Adam As friends. I put a curse and a pox on all of your friends. May their head grow in the ground like an onion.

1:06:32🔗 Caller But I'm real fat. But I'm real fat.

1:06:36🔗 Caller Are you hot, daddy?

1:06:37🔗 Adam Listen, big gals need love too. And like I said, it's just the line isn't as long around the big gals. You know what I mean? It's like when you go in an amusement park, you know, the Pirates of the Caribbean, the Matterhorns going all the way around the block. Then they got that crappy little train. No one wants to get on that. You hop right on.

1:07:00🔗 Caller Right?

1:07:01🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:07:01🔗 Drew You're beating out some of your brethren.

1:07:04🔗 Adam What's that?

1:07:04🔗 Drew Well, isn't there a sort of ethnic?

1:07:07🔗 Adam Yeah, yeah. But yeah, the black men like big women.

1:07:11🔗 Drew Is it big or just the big booty?

1:07:14🔗 Adam Well, it's a big booty, but that comes on the big women. Then they're like big.

1:07:18🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:07:19🔗 Twinkie-hole, baby.

1:07:21🔗 Adam They're very lucky that way. Carrie?

1:07:25🔗 Caller Yes.

1:07:25🔗 Adam You're 28?

1:07:26🔗 Caller Yes.

1:07:27🔗 Adam What's up?

1:07:28🔗 Caller So I get urinary tract infections whenever I'm with my boyfriend. I really see each other like every four or five weeks.

1:07:35🔗 Adam What kind of infection?

1:07:36🔗 Drew Urine.

1:07:36🔗 Adam Urinary tract infections.

1:07:38🔗 Yeah.

1:07:38🔗 Drew Is that just because they're so long in between visits, you guys go nuts when you're together?

1:07:43🔗 Caller I went to a nurse practitioner who thought that maybe that was what it was. When we were in the same state, it was better.

1:07:50🔗 It happened.

1:07:51🔗 Adam So what did they do? Did they ask if he was banging the bejeezus out of you?

1:07:55🔗 Drew Yeah, I think those were the words, yes. I think the holy ass was the other thing she might say.

1:08:02🔗 Caller The nurse actually called them moments of fun.

1:08:06🔗 Adam I see. So when you're having vigorous sex, you can get that.

1:08:11🔗 I guess so, but we're not compatible or something.

1:08:13🔗 Drew No, no, no. In some way, we get it real easily, real readily.

1:08:16🔗 Caller Well, so they prescribed antibiotics.

1:08:19🔗 Drew So you give them Bactrim or Sulphur or something?

1:08:21🔗 Caller Yeah, Bactrim, half a pill every time I know I'm going to have sex. And I'm just wondering, because I told them I was on birth control pills, and I'm wondering if that's going to affect it.

1:08:30🔗 Drew It really shouldn't. I've never heard of a single dose once a month affecting their birth control effectiveness.

1:08:36🔗 Adam And they know you're on the pill.

1:08:37🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:08:38🔗 Adam So why would they give it to you? They wouldn't. Or if it did make a big impact, to bring that word back, they'd ask you wear a condom if you're on it, right?

1:08:47🔗 Drew Yep.

1:08:47🔗 Adam All right. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. He's going to be down in Long Beach, racing 200 miles an hour at the Toyota Grand Prix this weekend. I'm going to go see him. Drew's going to be running around his living room, looking for a scrum, and we'll be back after this.

1:09:03🔗 Loveline, Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191, back in a minute.

1:09:22🔗 Caller You're listening to Loveline on Outrageous Talk Radio 100.7 The Buzz.

1:09:37🔗 Adam Yep, Loveline, Adam Corolla, that is Dr. Drew over there. Phone number, 1-800-L-O-V-E-1-9-1, Bryan Herta. Bryan comes in here every year, and he's definitely one of the guests I look forward to, because I love talking about the cars. I like to kiss Bryan's ass, so he can get me some pit passes and stuff. And I'll tell you, you go to that race, and you go right in that VIP tent, and you start slugging down beers, right there. And then you help yourself to brisket. There's always brisket at those. Try to get in, I try to eat like 80 bucks worth of beef and beer at those things.

1:10:16🔗 Bryan Herta See, you like me coming on, because I don't talk that much.

1:10:19🔗 Adam Right, you leave me alone.

1:10:20🔗 Bryan Herta I just sit here, I just, you know, it's like listening to the show, and I get to watch it too.

1:10:25🔗 Adam I squeeze him for some passes at the end of the show.

1:10:28🔗 Drew Was he not talking?

1:10:29🔗 Adam I think he talked about not talking. Okay, so that counts as talking, doesn't it?

1:10:35🔗 Bryan Herta Well, now, okay.

1:10:36🔗 Drew Sorry, sorry, it's hard for me to tell what Adam's, you know, what somebody else is talking.

1:10:39🔗 Adam Oh, shut up. I'm an enthusiast, Drew. I embrace life. You know, while you're cowering in the corner, I look at life in the eye, I say, bring it on. And then I jack off and I nap. The world is your oyster. I mean, because that's all the world is. That's right. Your oyster. What the hell with that?

1:11:04🔗 Caller What did that come to?

1:11:06🔗 Adam I could have been serious when I said that.

1:11:08🔗 Drew What came after that? Was I serious?

1:11:10🔗 Bryan Herta You were way on your high horse.

1:11:13🔗 Adam Was I on my high horse or was I high? Because there's a difference.

1:11:16🔗 Drew I think you were drunk that night.

1:11:17🔗 Adam I may have been drunk. It's not that I drink every night. It's just sometimes. Well, I could have got back from the airport. I was drinking at the airport. Boy, am I drunk. Rina?

1:11:34🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:11:35🔗 Adam You're 15.

1:11:36🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:11:36🔗 Adam Jesus Christ, Drew, if I ever start talking about that oyster again, I want you to hit me at the microphone.

1:11:41🔗 Drew I will just be in you.

1:11:43🔗 Adam Rina, the world is your oyster. I mean, because that's all the world is.

1:11:49🔗 Drew A big oyster.

1:11:50🔗 Caller Are you drunk?

1:11:51🔗 Adam No, I must have been screwing. I could have been drunk, but even then, I must have been screwing around.

1:11:56🔗 Caller Oh, God, I love you, Adam. I love the man. Yeah. That's one of my favorites.

1:12:00🔗 Adam Thanks, baby.

1:12:00🔗 Drew Okay, Rina, what's up?

1:12:02🔗 Caller Well, I have this problem. It's like every guy I get with, I cheat on him.

1:12:07🔗 Drew What does that mean, cheat?

1:12:09🔗 Caller Like go with some other guy, just like, mack on him, give him moral pleasure, something like that.

1:12:14🔗 Drew Wow.

1:12:15🔗 Adam Jeez, should we do a little gambling? All right, we haven't gambled in a long time. I'm ready to do some gambling. Let's do some gambling.

1:12:23🔗 Drew I don't have a clear...

1:12:24🔗 Adam Where's my wallet?

1:12:24🔗 Drew I don't have a clear...

1:12:25🔗 Adam That makes it better. Bryan, you got any money?

1:12:28🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah, I do.

1:12:29🔗 Drew I only...

1:12:30🔗 Adam Yeah, not Schumacher money, but you got your own money, right? You got a dollar? You know, do a little gambling on Reena's past.

1:12:38🔗 Bryan Herta Okay.

1:12:39🔗 Adam Reena, all we know about her, she can't stop cheating on her boyfriends, all right? And she's giving oral sex to other guys. And Drew, you don't get a real beat on her, right?

1:12:49🔗 Bryan Herta Not at all.

1:12:50🔗 Adam But you know something's going on, right?

1:12:52🔗 Drew Here's what I know. No sexual abuse, no physical abuse.

1:12:55🔗 Adam Oh, really?

1:12:55🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

1:12:56🔗 Adam It's all going out of the limb. What do you got there, Drew?

1:12:58🔗 Drew That's all I got.

1:12:59🔗 Adam Ten?

1:12:59🔗 Drew That's all I got.

1:13:00🔗 Adam It's a lot of money.

1:13:01🔗 Drew Need some change?

1:13:02🔗 Adam Yeah, I think I can break that.

1:13:03🔗 Caller Okay.

1:13:04🔗 Adam Yeah. All right. So I'll, should I go first then?

1:13:08🔗 Caller Go ahead.

1:13:11🔗 Adam She's needy. She needs attention. She needs a little chaos. Fifteen already screwing around and not just making out oral sex. So we know dad was in the dad could have been around and pay attention. Really sounds like that. You don't think physical or I think I got it now.

1:13:30🔗 Drew I got it. I got it.

1:13:32🔗 Adam Well, you're going to go alcohol like dad, right? Alcoholic dad. You might go work a hall like dad. All right. All right.

1:13:41🔗 Caller All right. You're all night. Listen, you.

1:13:42🔗 Adam All right. No, I'm going to go alcohol like dad, who was an oyster farmer. I'm going to alcohol like dad. I got to get more specific. That parents divorced, but he didn't pay attention while he was there. And then they got divorced. They just never saw the guy again. All right. That's my that's my past prediction. Bryan, you have one.

1:14:06🔗 Bryan Herta OK, I'm going to go with alcoholic mom who had numerous husbands and boyfriends.

1:14:13🔗 Drew Good one. Like that.

1:14:14🔗 Bryan Herta Who were a part of her life for a period of time, but she now has no contact with.

1:14:20🔗 Adam Nice.

1:14:21🔗 Drew Nice. Strong. I'm going to go alcoholic dad mom cheated.

1:14:25🔗 Adam Oh, all right. It's like some variety here tonight. Reena.

1:14:30🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:14:31🔗 Adam What's what's up with the past?

1:14:33🔗 Caller OK, you guys are right. My dad is an alcoholic. He left me when I was one. He pops in and out of my life. I hate him. He like makes a bunch of empty promises. Oh, yeah, I'm going to move down here to someone with you and you're going to live with me. You don't have to live with your mom anymore. And he's just like totally full of it. And he he came around the summer. He was here for about a week. Then he left again and all he does is sit at home and drink beer.

1:14:59🔗 Drew And they broke up when you were three. One, one. Why did they break up?

1:15:02🔗 Caller You know, he, I guess, like both of them had drug problems and she wanted to quit. And he really didn't. And he lied to her and said he was going to, but he never actually did. And she got tired of him and she didn't want me around that and kind of environment. So she left him.

1:15:18🔗 Adam So you don't know if anyone cheated on anyone?

1:15:20🔗 Caller No, I don't think so.

1:15:22🔗 Drew That's good enough story. Is that sort of Bryan's?

1:15:25🔗 Adam Well, Bryan had the alcoholic mom and the... What did you have? And dad left? Did you have that?

1:15:31🔗 Bryan Herta I had several dads over the course of her life.

1:15:35🔗 Drew With a lot of boyfriends with your mom? Rana?

1:15:39🔗 Caller Huh?

1:15:40🔗 Drew Did your mom have a lot of boyfriends?

1:15:41🔗 Caller She's had two boyfriends. The one she has now, I can't stand. He's drunk every night.

1:15:46🔗 Drew Oh, another alcoholic. Yeah.

1:15:48🔗 Bryan Herta She's mad at that.

1:15:49🔗 Drew Well, so we all got the alcoholic dad.

1:15:50🔗 Adam Yeah, we all got the abandoning alcoholic dad, angry dad.

1:15:55🔗 Drew Yeah, we got that.

1:15:56🔗 Adam Drew, what did you have?

1:15:58🔗 Drew Mom cheated.

1:15:59🔗 Adam Yeah, I may take the buck on this one.

1:16:03🔗 Drew I'll concede it.

1:16:04🔗 Adam Well, it's kind of by default, you know?

1:16:05🔗 Drew Yeah.

1:16:06🔗 Caller All right.

1:16:06🔗 Adam Thank you. I feel good about myself.

1:16:08🔗 Drew So, Rana, are you an alcoholic or addict too?

1:16:11🔗 Caller Am I an alcoholic?

1:16:12🔗 Adam Two bucks.

1:16:13🔗 Caller I've been caught for being under the influence of alcohol.

1:16:16🔗 Drew Maybe you're looking at some allotin or some support for this. These behaviors don't become so awfully destructive and painful to you, really. You're saying that you don't understand why you do this. It suggests you want to stop. If you do, you really need to get into what it is that's motivating this, all the pain and misery that your dad has foisted on you.

1:16:34🔗 Adam Yeah. Let me tell you about your oyster. It's not looking good, baby.

1:16:41🔗 Drew You hear me?

1:16:41🔗 Caller Oh, I love you, Adam.

1:16:42🔗 Adam I mean, because that's all the world is. That's all the world is, is that oyster? I swear to Christ, I got to get to the bottom of that. There's no way I was serious when I said that. Rena, you really, I mean, you're 15, you're halfway down the road to hell. Jesus, is that going to be on a cartoon? You really are. You're going to get pregnant, you're going to get strung out, you're going to be in worse shape than your mom, and there's just going to be succession of screwball guys just like your mom did and does. You got to break that cycle. Do you understand me?

1:17:16🔗 Caller Yes, but how do I stop cheating on my boyfriend?

1:17:19🔗 Adam Stop cheating on your boyfriend. Stop it. You know what the behavior is. You stop.

1:17:23🔗 Caller It's hard.

1:17:24🔗 Adam Yeah, but that's what separates us from the apes.

1:17:28🔗 Drew Go to Alateen. Go. You got to change that. What's going on in your head?

1:17:33🔗 Adam Go to Alateen. Thank you. Yes. Really, everyone, that's what separates us from the animal kingdom. We actually have choice.

1:17:41🔗 Drew We don't poo and pee wherever we please. We don't masturbate and nap whenever we please.

1:17:47🔗 Adam Oh, I see where you're going. I should have known where you're going with the poo and the pee butt.

1:17:51🔗 Drew And if we can't contain behaviors, then you have to get treatment. You have to do something about it.

1:17:58🔗 Adam I almost urinate exclusively in the sink now. Do you realize that? You're halfway down the road to hell.

1:18:04🔗 Drew Was it ever otherwise?

1:18:07🔗 Adam It's gotten progressive.

1:18:10🔗 Drew It's a compulsion now. You see a sink, you have to pee at it.

1:18:13🔗 Adam No, no. I only want to have to urinate. But I am very used to urinating in the sink. I got to tell you. Not the kitchen sink.

1:18:20🔗 Drew Oh, that's off limits.

1:18:21🔗 Adam Kitchen counters are 36 inches off the floor usually. And I can't get up there with my junk.

1:18:27🔗 Drew So it's not just only where you wash your hands and face.

1:18:31🔗 Adam Oh, I don't wash my face. But the thing is, is bathroom sinks are usually in the 32 inch range, which is right in my penis's wheelhouse. But I don't like those big bathroom pullman's, you know, the ones with the cupboards and everything in the bottom, because there's too much lip between the edge of the sink and the front of the cabinet. I like the freestanding pedestal kind, you know, the sink is right there. Yeah, well, right there, right there. Yeah, right there.

1:19:00🔗 Drew No, there. Victoria, 27.

1:19:03🔗 Hello.

1:19:03🔗 Adam You're 27.

1:19:04🔗 Caller Yes, I'm 27.

1:19:05🔗 Adam What's up?

1:19:06🔗 Caller Well, my husband is in Mexico. He'll be here Friday.

1:19:09🔗 Adam Good times. Turn your radio down.

1:19:12🔗 Caller I'm really afraid to have sex, because I'm...

1:19:14🔗 Drew Victoria.

1:19:15🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:19:15🔗 Drew Turn your radio or television down, whatever that is, please.

1:19:18🔗 Caller Sure.

1:19:18🔗 Drew Thank you.

1:19:20🔗 Adam Oh, boy.

1:19:20🔗 Drew So you don't comply with that if you're nice with them?

1:19:22🔗 Adam Who's they? The Mexicans?

1:19:23🔗 Drew Victoria, what's up? So he's in Mexico.

1:19:26🔗 Adam How dare you?

1:19:27🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:19:28🔗 Adam Yeah. Go ahead.

1:19:29🔗 Caller And he'll be here Friday. And it's been a while since we've seen each other or anything, but I'm afraid to have sex with him.

1:19:37🔗 Drew Why?

1:19:38🔗 Caller Well, because I'm getting ready to have a baby the 15th of April.

1:19:41🔗 Drew You're, like, really ripe.

1:19:43🔗 Caller I'm just, like, scared. I don't want to do anything.

1:19:46🔗 Drew What do you... Because you're afraid you're going to deliver?

1:19:47🔗 Caller I'm afraid, no, it's not just the deliver part. It's... I'm afraid that if he has something and if I catch it...

1:19:55🔗 Drew Oh, whoa...

1:19:56🔗 Caller .and have the baby...

1:19:58🔗 Drew Tell him your doctor said you can't have sex till after the delivery.

1:20:01🔗 Caller Huh?

1:20:01🔗 Drew Tell him your doctor said you can't have sex till after the delivery.

1:20:04🔗 Caller Well, that's what I told you before, and he... Because we already had twins.

1:20:08🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:20:09🔗 Caller And they came out normal, healthy, you know, but I'm just still afraid.

1:20:13🔗 Adam Hold on a second. But this guy doesn't sound like a dynamite individual to me.

1:20:17🔗 Drew He had twins up here and he's left for six months? What is going on here?

1:20:19🔗 Caller He was deported.

1:20:21🔗 Adam I see.

1:20:22🔗 Caller And...

1:20:23🔗 Drew Are you a citizen?

1:20:24🔗 Caller Yeah, my sons, we went down there to be with him because my kids were, at the time, they were like two and a half.

1:20:30🔗 Drew And is he just screwing around on you down there?

1:20:33🔗 Caller No. He's been working.

1:20:35🔗 Drew So what are you afraid of?

1:20:37🔗 Caller I'm afraid that he's going to come back and start cheating, for one.

1:20:40🔗 Drew So he would not have been cheating down there when he was thousands of miles away from you, but he come up here to do the cheating?

1:20:46🔗 Caller Sometimes he does. This is when we were together the first time and then after he left.

1:20:52🔗 Adam How many kids do you have?

1:20:53🔗 Caller I have two.

1:20:54🔗 Adam Okay. All right. Slow down with those kids, would you? See you at the day. Tell your vagina to sit down. Stop with the kids. This guy.

1:21:06🔗 Caller This is the last. I'm going to have my tubes tied tightly.

1:21:09🔗 Caller All right.

1:21:10🔗 Caller The reason for being is it's hard for me because I've been single, you know, being a single parent for my two sons.

1:21:17🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:21:17🔗 Caller And I'm playing the father figure and the mother figure.

1:21:20🔗 Adam Right.

1:21:21🔗 Caller The grandfather figure. And yeah, so many.

1:21:24🔗 Adam Well, that's what I'm saying. I mean, your husband ain't around. In comes short. You know, you keep having the kids and it's just going to get you behind the eight ball.

1:21:34🔗 Drew And you're afraid it's going to expose you to illness. That's a bizarre relationship. What is with this guy?

1:21:39🔗 Adam Hey, you're basically saying he you're scared he's going to rape you when he comes back.

1:21:43🔗 Caller True.

1:21:44🔗 Adam You're scared of this guy.

1:21:46🔗 Caller Yeah, I'm scared.

1:21:47🔗 Adam What does does he drink? Is he abusive?

1:21:49🔗 Caller Well, when he gets around his familiar.

1:21:54🔗 Adam Yeah, that's his family.

1:21:56🔗 Caller Yeah, they're all Mexicans and I do speak Spanish. But it's just being around the drinking, the alcohol, the drug, I mean, just total.

1:22:09🔗 Adam Really?

1:22:09🔗 Caller I mean, my brother-in-law Miguel, his wife beat him up and I don't understand that one.

1:22:16🔗 Drew His wife beats him up.

1:22:17🔗 Adam Watch the S word there.

1:22:18🔗 Bryan Herta Whole family thing going on here.

1:22:20🔗 Caller And then the other one, Alfonso and his wife, he pagulates her and I don't understand why.

1:22:27🔗 Drew He what?

1:22:28🔗 Caller He hits her.

1:22:29🔗 Caller Where do you use?

1:22:30🔗 Caller In the last time he hit her.

1:22:32🔗 Adam She sprinkles a little Spanish in. What's that?

1:22:35🔗 Caller I knocked my brother out for hitting his wife.

1:22:37🔗 Adam Oh, that's nice. Hey, it's nice that the kids can be basically raised in a Mexican circus.

1:22:43🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:22:43🔗 Adam I mean.

1:22:44🔗 Caller They're bilingual anyway. All right.

1:22:45🔗 Drew Can you come?

1:22:47🔗 Adam Thank you, Drew. Can you calm down a little bit there and see if you can create a bit of a stable environment for the kiddies?

1:22:53🔗 Caller I have. I have my own place. I got everything going for my kids.

1:22:58🔗 Adam OK.

1:22:59🔗 Caller OK.

1:23:00🔗 Adam But listen, coming back. Listen to me. If this guy starts drinking or he starts getting violent.

1:23:06🔗 Caller That's the only rule I have. I don't want.

1:23:08🔗 Adam Yeah. If he drinks, if he hits you, if he rapes you, if he does any of that, he's out and keep him out again. Yeah. And let him go back with his his Lovita Loca. I mean, his Lovita is Lovita family is.

1:23:27🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:23:27🔗 Adam What does that mean? Yeah. Familia Loka.

1:23:30🔗 Caller Yeah. Yeah.

1:23:31🔗 Adam It's crazy. Barrio family. All right there, Victoria. Get them tubes tied and don't take any crap from that.

1:23:40🔗 Caller I never have taken.

1:23:42🔗 Drew All right.

1:23:42🔗 Adam Easy with the S word. It's the second time she's worked it in. Oh, this guy sounds like a real party.

1:23:50🔗 Drew Awful.

1:23:50🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:23:51🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

1:23:51🔗 Adam It's good times. OK, we're going to take ourselves a little break. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. He's a big time race car driver.

1:23:59🔗 Bryan Herta And we're going to come back.

1:24:00🔗 Drew Lots of questions for Bryan coming up.

1:24:02🔗 Adam Yeah, a question. We're going to get the answer to the millions and millions of dollars Ferrari shells out each year and how they make that work financially after this.

1:24:29🔗 Caller You're listening to Loveline on Outrageous Talk Radio. 100.7 The Buzz.

1:24:43🔗 Hi, this is Billy from Green Day, and you're listening to GIO Bline.

1:24:48🔗 Adam Yeah, you is. I like that Green Day. That's a good live band.

1:24:53🔗 Drew I would say you like them live.

1:24:54🔗 Adam Yeah, I really love watching that band live. They're good. People don't like Green Day that much, or they don't want to admit it or something, but live, you can't beat those three guys. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight. He is racing this Sunday in Long Beach for the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. And I'm going to be there. I'll be the guy with the brisket in one hand and the beer in the other, sitting in the hospitality tent, trying to keep it real. Right, Drew?

1:25:25🔗 Drew The trough and brew, yeah.

1:25:28🔗 Adam You're going to have a lot of food. You got a good tent this year?

1:25:31🔗 Drew Oh, yeah.

1:25:32🔗 Adam That's a beer and brisket.

1:25:33🔗 Drew Does each manufacturer, each team have its own tent?

1:25:36🔗 Adam Yes. Yeah. What do you guys drink? You got imported beer?

1:25:40🔗 Drew I don't want to be talking to some of the other teams, I bet you.

1:25:43🔗 Adam Well, no. Here's all I'm saying is, you know, you go to the Miller Lite tent and, you know, you're drinking Miller Lite. No big deal, but I'd rather have myself a Heineken or something. I mean, you guys going to have all beer, like imported beer?

1:25:55🔗 Bryan Herta I would. I don't know.

1:25:57🔗 Adam Well, let's work on that.

1:25:59🔗 Bryan Herta I will get back to you with the answer on that.

1:26:01🔗 Adam I know you got a lot on your plate. I know you got a lot to think about, Sunday. This is going to be one more thing.

1:26:07🔗 Bryan Herta Top of my list.

1:26:07🔗 Adam That's all. You can handle it. All right. Where were we here? Drew up top? Yeah. Jerry?

1:26:12🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:26:12🔗 Caller What's up?

1:26:13🔗 Adam Well, what's going on there, Jerry?

1:26:15🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:26:15🔗 Caller I was looking through a magazine and yeah, I found out what the specs are for the Formula One like or how they finance the whole thing.

1:26:23🔗 Adam I don't blame you already, but go ahead. All right.

1:26:25🔗 Caller Yeah. Ferrari's team, it's all based on sponsorship.

1:26:29🔗 Drew All of it?

1:26:30🔗 Caller Yeah. All of it. Marlboro, they paid $92 million last year to sponsor them and Shell sold out about $76 million, not including like two other sponsors.

1:26:40🔗 Drew Per year.

1:26:41🔗 Caller Per year.

1:26:42🔗 Drew There you go.

1:26:42🔗 Adam There you go.

1:26:44🔗 Caller Yeah. So in reality, they actually end up making money.

1:26:48🔗 Adam Yeah.

1:26:49🔗 Drew Just for putting insignias on the car.

1:26:51🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:26:52🔗 Adam Well, the guy wears. Yeah. I mean, when the guy wins, he's wearing the cap. Yeah, you got it.

1:26:58🔗 Caller I mean, they reach around. God knows how many million people a year when they watch that on TV.

1:27:03🔗 Adam Yeah. Especially in Europe. It's huge. Yeah.

1:27:07🔗 Caller Myself, I'm not really a big fan of it, but I just saw it in the magazine. I thought I'd tell you guys.

1:27:13🔗 Caller Thanks, Jerry.

1:27:13🔗 Caller Very good. All right. Cool.

1:27:15🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:27:15🔗 Adam The Formula One is a lot of twisting and turning and slow. And it doesn't not seem too much passing going on in the Formula One.

1:27:23🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

1:27:24🔗 Adam At least whatever. I'm not an expert at it.

1:27:28🔗 Bryan Herta It's more of a Formula One is about the technology and it's a lot more of a technical exercise. I mean, last year, I think three or four drivers won all the races. So if you're not with the best car, with the best team, you can't win. So yeah, it's a little less passing. It's a different style of racing completely. I mean, ours is a lot more competitive in terms of on track.

1:27:49🔗 Drew The other one is not competitive because the better cars are so far ahead.

1:27:52🔗 Bryan Herta Yeah.

1:27:52🔗 Adam There's such a great disparity that, you know, Well, other forms of racing have rules, such and such a displacer, such and such horsepower, such and such weight. And so it makes it competitive.

1:28:04🔗 Drew Unless there are breakthroughs every so often, in general, people would be not that different in their technologies.

1:28:10🔗 Adam Well, it takes so much in research and development, wind tunnel testing and all that kind of stuff. And what other forms of racing is like boxing. It's like 150 pound guys with 150 pound guys. It's not Tyson fighting a flyweight. All right. Jason. Jason. You're 18. What's up?

1:28:30🔗 Caller Hey, you guys rock my world, man.

1:28:33🔗 Adam Thanks.

1:28:33🔗 Caller Love you guys.

1:28:35🔗 Caller My question is for Mr. Herta.

1:28:36🔗 Bryan Herta Yes.

1:28:37🔗 Caller I was wondering what's the deal with the split in the two different leagues of the IRL and CART?

1:28:43🔗 Bryan Herta Well, there's a split between the two different leagues, IRL and CART. Basically, a few years ago, the guy that owned the Indianapolis Motor Speedway decided that he wanted to start a whole series based around that track and that event. So they started the Indy Racing League. And so now there's two Indy type racing series. There's CART, which I race in, which does Long Beach Grand Prix and does a lot of road courses, street courses, and ovals. We race all around the world. And then there's the IRL that does just ovals and basically just here in the United States. So, you know, it's basically spawned off in a two different, two different series, although they're similar. We don't race against each other ever. And the cars are a little bit different.

1:29:29🔗 Adam Yeah. Your car is more than any car, more made for handling and shifting and that kind of stuff.

1:29:39🔗 Bryan Herta It's more closer towards Formula One in terms of we have more technology than the IRL has.

1:29:44🔗 Adam Right.

1:29:44🔗 Bryan Herta We have more horsepower than they have.

1:29:46🔗 Adam Because they're doing an oval, basically, right?

1:29:49🔗 Bryan Herta And they're just, yeah, they're racing on one specific type of track.

1:29:52🔗 Drew IRL. Indy Racing League.

1:29:53🔗 Bryan Herta Indy Racing League. That's good.

1:29:55🔗 Adam Drew knows a lot about racing. He asked before the show whether he actually drove the race car to the race or do they have a trailer for it? He thought they actually just drove cross-country.

1:30:04🔗 Drew Didn't ask what speed limit they have to abide by on the way to the track.

1:30:07🔗 Adam Yeah. I wonder if the newer ones had the side impact airbags on them. Luke?

1:30:12🔗 Caller Yes.

1:30:12🔗 Adam You're 20?

1:30:13🔗 Caller Yes. The term anorexia, I don't know if this is going to describe me, but I'm having a lot of problems trying to eat certain types of food.

1:30:22🔗 Drew Why?

1:30:23🔗 Caller I only mainly eat broccoli and canned tuna and water.

1:30:26🔗 Drew Why?

1:30:28🔗 Caller I lost about 50 pounds in the past year.

1:30:31🔗 Drew Intentionally?

1:30:32🔗 Caller Excuse me?

1:30:33🔗 Drew Intentionally.

1:30:34🔗 Caller Oh, yeah.

1:30:34🔗 Drew What was your weight before that?

1:30:36🔗 Caller I'm 6'3, 146, and I was 185.

1:30:40🔗 Drew 146.

1:30:41🔗 Adam Here. 6'3, 185 is nice.

1:30:45🔗 Caller Yeah, I didn't like how my body looked, really. So I started, I lost like 10 pounds, and then I kept going and going. And now I'm having problems eating just like regular meals.

1:30:55🔗 Caller Why?

1:30:57🔗 Caller I can't, I don't know. I think I might gain some weight. All right.

1:31:00🔗 Adam So sums up. Do you like pizza?

1:31:03🔗 Caller I used to.

1:31:04🔗 Adam All right. Listen, the day you stop liking pizza, you got to end it.

1:31:08🔗 Drew But this anorexia, I mean, this is something that needs to be treated.

1:31:10🔗 Adam This is deuteroxia.

1:31:11🔗 Caller Yeah, that's another thing. I've never heard, like, a lot of men.

1:31:14🔗 Drew It's less common in men, but men get it. There's more and more cases being documented as time goes along.

1:31:19🔗 Caller What will this do in the long run if?

1:31:21🔗 Drew It could be softening bones. It could give you heart diseases, kidney problems.

1:31:24🔗 Adam Well, you're not throwing anything up, right?

1:31:27🔗 Caller No.

1:31:27🔗 Adam And how much tuna are you eating a day? And usually when we talk about eating tuna on Loveline, we ain't talking about eating tuna. It's a rare instance where we are.

1:31:36🔗 Drew You're not talking about albacore.

1:31:38🔗 Caller I'm eating probably 500 calories a day, but I'm taking a lot of vitamins.

1:31:43🔗 Adam How many cans is that? I don't know calories.

1:31:45🔗 Caller A can is like 150 calories.

1:31:47🔗 Drew How many cans? One can a day?

1:31:49🔗 Caller Yeah, one, one and a half. And then I eat a lot of salad and broccoli.

1:31:53🔗 Adam You must have a pretty regular stool going there.

1:31:56🔗 Caller But every three, four, five days.

1:31:58🔗 Adam With the Duke?

1:31:59🔗 Caller Yeah.

1:32:00🔗 Drew So wow, a little...

1:32:01🔗 Adam Yeah, spreading it out. There's nothing to move through. Start eating more Mexican like I do. You really keep it moving. I crapped up that writer's bathroom twice a day.

1:32:09🔗 Drew Nice.

1:32:10🔗 Adam Yeah, very proud of that.

1:32:11🔗 Drew Good times.

1:32:13🔗 Adam And one of the writers came out of the bathroom today at the mansion and exclaimed that he bruised the toilet badly and we should stay off it for a while. I like that. Guys come out of the bathroom triumphant. Hands above the head, high-fiving. That was me. Don't go in there.

1:32:30🔗 Drew What do you mean, don't go in there? They're calling you in.

1:32:34🔗 Adam I walk up and down the hall of the rise yard and I yell, I'm asking who's in. That's my big cry. I like to sign guys up. Luke, you got to start eating, brother.

1:32:48🔗 Drew If you can't, you got to get some treatment because this could harm you permanently.

1:32:51🔗 Adam Yeah. You're counting calories. As good as you may think you look, even though you probably don't think you do, you don't look right at 6'3 and 143.

1:33:00🔗 Drew No way.

1:33:02🔗 Adam No way.

1:33:03🔗 Caller All right? Okay.

1:33:05🔗 Adam Well, how about getting some therapy?

1:33:08🔗 Caller No. Is there like a certain thing like I can just go to like an all-male clinic maybe without the women there?

1:33:14🔗 Drew Why is that?

1:33:15🔗 Caller I'm kind of embarrassed, you know.

1:33:16🔗 Drew Embarrassed that you have an eating disorder?

1:33:18🔗 Caller Yeah. And it's mostly a woman disease and...

1:33:20🔗 Drew Well, no one's going to know you necessarily have an eating disorder. Just go to a general psychiatrist and get an evaluation and let them refer you to more appropriate kinds of care.

1:33:30🔗 Adam All right. We're going to take ourselves a little break. Bryan Herta is our guest tonight racing down at Long Beach during the Toyota Grand Prix this weekend. The celebrity race is Saturday. I'll not be in that for the 25th year. If you're... Drew, stop that, please. Yeah, that's David Alan Greer. He'll be there. He'll be there with Dan Haggerty and the chick that played Daisy Duke in Car No. 5 and I'll be sitting home. We'll take a break. We'll be back. There you go. Hey, Drew.

1:34:34🔗 Drew Two minutes early, Adam. You're dying to talk more car with Bryan.

1:34:38🔗 Adam What are we going to do with ourselves? You want to take a call?

1:34:41🔗 Drew No.

1:34:43🔗 Adam You don't want to help the kids? All right, let's talk to Bryan Herta just a little bit longer. I think.

1:34:53🔗 Bryan Herta I want to take a call.

1:34:55🔗 Adam You're right. I didn't know because I really I expect a top three for Bryan this weekend, but I didn't want to put a curse on him or anything. So I didn't want to corner him. Oh, the Corolla curse? The Corolla curse only works when I mean it. And if I really meant it, like if you really crossed me and I really hated you and I announced on the air that I was putting a curse on you, you'd probably win every race. Not just this weekend. But because I like Bryan, the curse is not going to work. So I don't want to dust that one off. I will tell everybody that it is going off this weekend on Sunday. This is an event, by the way, that even if you don't like racing, it's great. There's just a bunch of rich guys and good looking chicks. And I saw Tim Allen there past me and his Ferrari on the way down the freeway last time. It's always a nice day for some reason.

1:35:50🔗 Bryan Herta It is.

1:35:51🔗 Adam It's just clear and it's by the beach and the wind is blowing and the skies are blue and it's just good food and good beer and good times and then you got the race cars.

1:36:02🔗 Bryan Herta Southern California Party.

1:36:03🔗 Adam I recommend it. And I really, the last, it's like how the Rose Bowl usually is. It's always the best day of the year for some reason. So I expect nothing short of that this Sunday. So everyone get out there and there's still tickets available. And Bryan, thanks a lot for coming back.

1:36:21🔗 Bryan Herta Thank you. Thank you.

1:36:22🔗 Adam And I will, I will see you on Sunday.

1:36:26🔗 Bryan Herta And one of these, one of these days we'll see Drew. I'm going to beat him down.

1:36:31🔗 Drew I would love to come.

1:36:32🔗 Adam I'm always a little mildly insulted as Drew that they really want to come out there. But I realize it's because I'm so accessible.

1:36:38🔗 Drew That's right.

1:36:39🔗 Adam Because I go every year.

1:36:40🔗 Drew It's like the chick that you get.

1:36:41🔗 Adam Yeah. You're like, we can't get your panties off. So we want you more.

1:36:45🔗 Drew That's right.

1:36:45🔗 Caller All right.

1:36:47🔗 Adam We'll take an extended 22-hour break. And until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying what?

1:36:53🔗 Drew Don't forget morning after pill discussion on Sunday. We're going to have a big morning after pill debate on Sunday.

1:36:58🔗 Adam That's great radio. Saying mahalo. See you at the deck.

1:37:03🔗 This has been Loveline. The opinions expressed on the show are not necessarily those of the staff, but the management sponsors for this station. The producer for Loveline is Ann Wilkins Dingold. Loveline is the presentation of Westwood One Entertainment.
