1:01🔗VoiceoverListener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.
1:13🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That's Dr. Drew over there. Man from Atlantis. Phone number 1-800-LOVE-191, Dr. Drew, Board Certified Physician and Addiction Medicine Specialist. Drew just commented that in the men's bathroom here at the station, it smelled like a dolphin took a crap in there.
1:39🔗DrewIf you can imagine what that would be like, yes.
1:41🔗AdamJeremy McGrath is our guest tonight, the big man in Supercross and went out last week. Let me say this about crap before I forget. Tell me if you guys, be honest, has this ever happened to you? About, I've noticed this, about every 37th crap I take smells like cat crap. Do you ever get that cat crap crap?
2:07🔗AdamMost of them smell like just good old fashioned duke, but once in a while you get that weird like, what is it? A cat sneaking me and crapping me or something?
2:16🔗DrewYou have no smells, you see? And so, when you get a bad smell, that's the cat smell.
2:29🔗AdamJeremy, I saw down at the Supercross in Anaheim, last, well, wait, two Saturdays ago I was there. And now it's coming up again this Saturday. I don't know how many people that place holds, but they had, it was about full. I think there was 44, 45,000. And I know people exaggerate when they do that. That means 38,000. But the official thing said 44 in change when I was, when I was leaving. And it didn't seem like you could get too many more people in there.
2:59🔗Jeremy McGrathNo, we, see, all four races so far this year have been sold out. So it's been a really good turnout this year.
3:06🔗AdamIs it, is it bigger than it ever was, Supercross?
3:11🔗Jeremy McGrathI would have to say, yeah, I think it's more popular, bigger, yeah, bigger than it's ever been.
3:15🔗AdamWhat, what year are you on in the circuit?
3:19🔗Jeremy McGrathI knew you were going to bring that up.
3:20🔗AdamWell, I mean, I want to know what it was like. I mean, you've been around 10 years, right?
3:25🔗AdamWhat was, what was it like 10 years ago at Anaheim? Was it sold out?
3:30🔗Jeremy McGrathWell, I don't, I don't quite remember. I think my first pro season was 91. I raced the 125 class back then, but I mean, I was kind of a young kid, so I probably, I, what I remember, I think it was pretty packed, but.
3:45🔗AdamRight. Could it just been your folks in the stands and you were.
3:50🔗Jeremy McGrathI was so stunned because I was so young.
3:51🔗AdamRight. It's really, it's turned into, remember the Super Bowl used to just be a football game that was played a couple of weeks after the season? Kind of thing.
4:00🔗AdamNo, it's fireworks and guys being announced, and people riding through hoops of fire, and laser shows. It's really, it's become like what the Super Bowl halftime show is over there.
4:15🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, it's basically a giant production now.
4:19🔗AdamIt's great. Then I went to Jeremy's premiere. Jeremy did, I don't know, Bloody Sprockets or Krusty Dirt Demon or Mud Horses.
4:27🔗Jeremy McGrathNo, no, it's called Steel Roots 3, SR3.
4:30🔗AdamSteel Roots 3. That's right. SR3, New Blood. It was great, but I'm always so loaded by the time, because the thing starts at midnight, and there's a theater right there in Anaheim, right off the parking lot there. And the place was packed. I mean, there's too many people in that place. I don't know what... We were there last year watching Steel Roots 2, and we're in the VIP section there. We basically had it to ourselves. This year couldn't move.
5:01🔗Jeremy McGrathI went in there right after the race. I mean, I got there at 12, and the video was set to start at 12. I mean, there was more people. I think what the problem was is everyone was crammed in the VIP.
5:12🔗Jeremy McGrathAnd there was no one out anywhere else, it seemed, but couldn't move.
5:18🔗AdamAnd then, you know what happens is people, you know, this quasi-B slash-C celebrity life is generally a good one until people get lit around you, and then the business cards start flying at you and the long-winded conversations, and then just the dudes, the dudes who got a quarter-acre out in Bakersfield, they want you to ride with them, you know, and you're like, I don't even know how many cars you got. And then they start slamming you on the back, and then the good one is when they start screaming across the room at their buddy, and god forbid their buddy doesn't know who you are, then their big argument breaks out, dude, man show! And then his buddy's like, huh? And he's like, dude, the man show! And his buddy's like, I don't have cable. And then they get into an argument, you know this, dude! And you're like, I'm like, hey, he doesn't know me, leave me alone. Well, don't worry, you're gonna, you know, you were doing a shot, we're doing a shot, and we're gonna take a picture. We're gonna do a shot, we're gonna take a picture doing a shot. Hold on, hold on, dude, let me get, hold on, let me get the, and then you just, you're just caught up in this hole. It was just a sea of humanity back there. Yeah. But I had a good time. You're only, you're only recourse, your only option is to get loaded yourself and just try to numb yourself up, blend in, numb up. And I don't know what, I don't know if people are high on X or what's going on, what's going on, Drew and Anna Hunt. You got your finger on the pulse of the kids. Everyone was like out of their mind.
6:47🔗Jeremy McGrathThey were all excited. They just got to, just got to, went away from the Supercross race and no, no.
7:28🔗AdamPulling there with the drug mobile. Yeah. It's true, though, whether it's a Super Bowl, or it's Mardi Gras, or it's a Supercross race, a lot of people want to go out and tilt a few, and this is a good way to do it. But I really enjoy myself at this thing. I mean, we're going nuts. We always go move down for the main and just start screaming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How's your arm? Jeremy's having a little problem with his forearm, little muscle problem there.
7:55🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, you know when I figured it out? I mean, I was going nuts racking my head against the wall, and I was struggling with arm pump, and I would ride like two or three laps, and I would just, my right arm would just be so locked up, you know, pumped up. And I went to the chiropractor, and I've been there, and I took a pretty good header at the Supercross track where we practiced a couple of months ago. You know, I didn't go get lined up after that, and I think from what my chiropractor told me, my back was pretty pinched, and the right side was kind of falling asleep when I was starting to ride.
8:31🔗DrewThere's like the equivalent of a shin splint though in this compartment here. If you really bruise it and got blood in there, it will swell in the sheath, and it can swell to the point that pressure is so high you can't get blood in it.
8:42🔗Jeremy McGrathI mean, the first few races I could barely ride.
9:02🔗AdamA couple weeks? No, no, he's a competitor. He's a warrior. He's in a couple of weeks. You know what? You rest when you die. All right, man. People say that, and people say you sleep when you're dead, too, but I question both of those things. I really, if someone could give me a real guarantee that I could actually get some napping in when I was dead, you'd go there. I would sleep less now. But I don't trust them. And I don't want to, I don't want to get caught. You know what I mean? I want to be in my deathbed and realize I hadn't napped enough. That's what I'm saying. All right. So anyway, it's it, Drew, you got to watch this. You got to watch this sport. It's crazy.
9:36🔗Jeremy McGrathSomeday we're going to get them there.
9:37🔗AdamThese triple jumps. How far are those triple jumps apart?
9:43🔗AdamAnd like I said, everyone exaggerates. Seventy feet is a seven story building that's been tipped over basically. And it's each and every lap. I mean, if you made it once, you'd stop and celebrate. You'd be up on the podium, waving, blowing kisses, doing that two handed clinch thing that no one does anymore. People be singing for you, Jolly Goodfellow. But they're doing it every lap. They're doing 20 laps. Or 20.
10:22🔗Jeremy McGrathYou get in the air and then you kind of loosen your grip and relax, take a few breaths and, you know, then when you land, you're set to go again. The hardest part is the whoops.
10:30🔗AdamYeah, there's literally a couple seconds of hang time. Now, most people would be freaked because you're on a motorcycle and you're 45 feet in the air. I mean, you're getting more height than Evil Can Evil ever did jump in any of those buses. But these guys are like, well, they got some downtime. Now, it's time to relax, reflect.
10:50🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, exactly. That's what it's all about.
10:51🔗AdamTake care of personal grooming, whatever business you need. Things are a little out of adjustment, the nuts itch. Whatever it is, now is the time to take care of it. It's like when we're at the airport and the flights delay. Wow. It's the same mentality. All right.
11:08🔗DrewMy kids are getting age with her into that stuff too.
11:17🔗CallerMy question is, I've been going out with this girl for about a month. I'm engaged to be married to her. I gave her consent to sleep with one of her friends.
13:44🔗DrewIt's a total, total meltdown mess. You don't seem to understand that.
13:49🔗Jeremy McGrathI have a question. Was this like a test? Was he testing his woman? Like saying, okay, yeah, you can do it. Just to see what she'd do, and she just did it or what?
13:58🔗CallerYeah. Well, I was wanting to know if it was right for me to say that, to tell her she can do it.
14:06🔗DrewGary, you didn't know what you're doing. You didn't know what you're doing.
14:08🔗AdamJeremy, get used to people not answering your questions on this show, by the way. I hear that from you a lot. I'm listening. Hey, Gary, no getting married, no having kids.
15:13🔗AdamBut his thing is, he's moving away. So he has to figure out a way to keep her satisfied so that she doesn't cheat. I'm not sure what his strategy is.
15:22🔗DrewYeah, where the thinking is all over the place.
15:25🔗AdamAll right. Let's talk to Star. Star? Yeah. You're 19? Star's one notch above Angel in the-
15:42🔗AdamWell, eventually, you're going to get to Jeremy's girlfriend's name and he's going to be pissed. Wait, what is your girlfriend's name? Kim. Oh, you wouldn't have got to Kim. I would have done like 180 more.
16:00🔗Well, I have two questions actually. My first question is, well, I've been having sex since I was 14, but I've never really actually had an orgasm.
16:19🔗So I didn't know if there was something wrong or-
16:21🔗DrewNo, you should really work on trying to figure out how you can have a climax. That's something you have to kind of figure out by yourself usually, or sometimes with a stable relationship, if you've got a partner sort of listening to you and want to work on it. But it's a normal thing for it. What you're describing is a normal thing for a 17, 18, 19-year-old.
16:39🔗Well, I mean, I can do it with my clitoris, but like any vaginally or anything like that.
17:39🔗AdamAll right. All right. Listen, are we going to examine every penis that's been in you? We'd be here all night. You understand different positions. There's more penetration and that hits your cervix.
17:56🔗AdamLove grommet. Actually, it's a good thing Jeremy's here because they used to have these donuts for motorcycle grips. There were these little leather padded maybe before your time, Jeremy.
18:08🔗Jeremy McGrathNo, they were like foam. They got blisters right here, right?
18:12🔗AdamRight, right. It was really so that your inside of your thumb and forefinger didn't get caught up or get blisters or maybe get pinched by the clutch.
18:23🔗Jeremy McGrathIt's because the old grips when you used to ride used to be like petrified rubber.
18:28🔗AdamNo. We used to use just old socks. They didn't even invent the grip and then the breakthrough of the donkey dick. We're allowed to say that. Remember that grip? Had no end on it. Had no flange. That was the one that just looked like a dildo.
18:47🔗AdamIt was ribbed and it had no end on it. I was yelling at a friend of mine the other day, who invents such a grip with no end on it? That's one of the most important parts. Otherwise, your hands get sliding off and it's getting pinched in the clutch and the brake and everything. Oh, yeah. That's right.
19:03🔗AdamElsinore, red wet racer, 250. A couple of laid down shocks, 500 Navi on the back. Couldn't be stopped on the hill climb, so I'll tell you that. Brock?
19:18🔗Well, I've got a few questions. I've got a question for Adam and Drew, and I just want to say congratulations to all of Jeremy McGrath's success.
20:06🔗AdamGo ahead. I was right, Brock. He hit his head pretty good a couple of weeks back. Go ahead, Brock.
20:12🔗Okay. Well, Drew, I've got a question. I'm actually a pharmacy technician out here in a great horrible state of Utah. I've just noticed an abundant amount of prescriptions like Ritalin and Adderall, just prescriptions for ADD. Right. I'm just wondering if your opinion is the same as mine. I'm actually writing a term paper on it. I'd like your permission to quote you if at all possible.
20:34🔗DrewWell, sure, you can quote me. But I'll tell you what, the people that study this, whom I respect and read, believe that there is probably over-prescribing in urban centers, but under-prescribing elsewhere. That if you look at the data on kids who meet formal criteria for ADD, I mean people who are assessed by people who really know how to make that diagnosis, they have far better outcomes when they're treated in terms of personality disorders, mood disturbances, substance abuse, everything is better. Okay. The problem is it tends to become a panacea and it tends to get over-prescribed.
21:17🔗DrewFor enthusiasts. And that tends to be in urban environments where you're living, living in Salt Lake City, right? Yeah. So you tend to see a tendency towards over-prescribing there. But nationwide when they really look at it, it looks like overall there's a lot of people getting through that are being missed and aren't getting it and could be benefited from it. So it's a really complicated issue. I'm also the opinion that in adulthood, ADD in adulthood is addiction. And I've seen using stimulants on adults, just really a disaster so many times.
21:46🔗AdamAll right, Brock. Me and Jeremy have ADD, so we got to cut this call shorter, right? We're going nuts.
21:51🔗All right. Can I ask you a question real quick, Adam?
21:54🔗Okay. I'm not sure if you remember this a while back. You did a brief commentary on basically the LAPD, not doing their job, basically too many traffic cops and not enough cops doing the real thing.
22:04🔗AdamYeah. All PD, but especially LAPD and Burbank and those places. Too many of these guys sitting around, camped out at four-way stop signs.
22:14🔗DrewYeah. That was not a single diatribe. No.
22:17🔗AdamI've been in a thousand of those rants. Get to work. Here's my advice to any law officer, especially the people, not the guys out on the street, but the guys that are in charge.
22:30🔗AdamYou do what we want, what the taxpayer wants, what the public wants. We don't want any candy-ass sitting around with a radar gun. No. Once you're out there taking down perps. And you know what? The average street cop, he wants to take perps down too. Not this candy-ass BS.
23:13🔗AdamYeah, like where you'd pull that up. Yeah. I don't know what year that was. I've done it a hundred times. Who the hell knows? I can warm over another one for you.
23:23🔗DrewMaybe something about Jay Walken or courts in Burbank.
23:26🔗AdamWell, here's the other maybe misnomer here. Yeah, and by the way, the city of Burbank can still kiss my hairy ass.
23:35🔗Jeremy McGrathWho knows how to get you going?
23:36🔗AdamStill kiss my hairy ass, you pussies over there.
23:38🔗DrewBrock, put that in your commentary for your ninth grade teacher. That'd be good. I'll get season college.
23:42🔗Jeremy McGrathActually hit record because here we go.
23:45🔗AdamJ-walking ticket in Burbank beat their ass and you guys owe me. You owe me. Do you know why? I'm not going to get excited, but here's the deal.
24:10🔗AdamYou not paying 80 bucks is not winning anything. Go to Vegas, put your money down on the Rams. They won. You win. You didn't lose. You didn't lose your money. The Patriots, yeah, but someone's got to pay you. You're not winning.
24:23🔗DrewWell, after all, he started writing the ticket before he reconsidered, which is also BS.
24:27🔗AdamI told this puss, I said, listen, stop the ticket now. I'm going to fight it. I'm going to beat it. You're wasting your time and you're wasting my time.
24:36🔗AdamWhat are you doing? Candy-ass crap. We don't have enough cops. Burbank's the worst. Burbank's a little crappy city that's outside of LA where they film all the things and their cops do nothing but write tickets. It's the number one ticket-writing municipality in the country, I'm sure. Just get to work, you guys. You guys on the street, you're good guys. And I know you don't want to do the candy-ass stuff. I blame the bureaucrats. Tickets, parking tickets everywhere, money funneling back into the system. Stop raping the public. Stop raping everybody. You want money, ask for money. But don't rape. Don't rape the people that pay your taxes.
25:13🔗DrewDidn't you call the judge a heroin addict or something?
25:16🔗AdamListen, here's what... Well, I got on the air and said a few things. But here's my point. Here's my deal. Okay, just all I want to say. A guy writes you a ticket for nothing, okay? You then say to him while he's writing the ticket, hey, what are we doing here? This is a waste of time. He says, yeah, so what? And he writes it out anyway. You then make a trip to the court and you say, I'd like to make an appearance. So they make you a date. And then you take another day off and you go in to talk to the judge and he throws it out. Now you're supposed to be thankful? Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, my fear is kiss my ass. You guys owe me two days. Who am I thanking here? Oh, I'm so thankful. I don't have a jaywalking ticket on my record. You know, you can't work in radio. You get a couple of walking violations. No, kiss my ass. I want to be compensated. I took two days off work. Where's my money?
26:10🔗Jeremy McGrathActually, you probably went and paid the ticket because then you could work the two days that you would...
26:15🔗AdamYeah, you're better off just paying it. And that's what they're counting on, too. They know it's chicken ass, but don't worry. These guys will just pay it. It's too much trouble. It's 40 bucks. He's not going to care. He'll write it off or something. Just stop the chicken ass stuff. Get to work. Bring down the perps. Yeah, we don't have enough. Jeremy's going, too. I like it. Yeah, and it's always, oh, we don't have enough cops. We don't have enough men on the street. Yeah, you do.
26:39🔗AdamThey're parked at the four-way stop sign up Beachwood Canyon. And there's two of them in the car. Take that guy and send him down to the bar. He owned him. Fire off a few rounds. That's what I want to see. You got guys. You know where they are? They're in meter-made cars. And they're following everyone around. That's where they are. Take those resources and put those guys on the street and start doing what we tell you to do, not what you feel like doing. We're your boss. That's what I'm saying. Bernard Parks, whoever's running this crappy LAPD, we tell you what to do. And you know what? I took a vote and I looked around and I spoke to some people and we don't like chicken ass. We don't. Nobody does. So get to work. Quit pussing out. Thank you. We'll be back.
27:55🔗AdamHey, yo, Loveline, I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew over there. Jeremy McGrath is our guest tonight. Hey. 74, 250 Supercross wins. 74, nearest guys like 26, 27. That's what you call dominance there. Yeah, those guys were the biggest names of the day, Rick Johnson.
28:17🔗DrewAre they gonna have a Supercross, like Hall of Fame somewhere? Do they have something like that?
28:21🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, there's a motorcycle Hall of Fame back in Ohio, yeah.
29:05🔗AdamI would completely believe him except for everything he says into my ears, completely erroneous. All right. So Cooperstown is in upstate New York or something like that. Well, look it up. I want to find out. But yes, why does that little dump known as Ohio have all- and don't- that's not meant to be a slight for the beautiful, beautiful people from the Ohio area. But why do they get everything? You know, we got the La Brea Tar Pits. It's a hole with a tar in it. Great. Hey, we'll put a museum next to it. Well, that big hole with the tar? Well, you're not going to find that anywhere. Shouldn't we just bury it? You know your town sucks when that's what you got. What do you got? La Brea Tar Pits. It's great over there.
29:50🔗AdamWhat do they got? They got these skulls from like hyenas and wolves and then there's this big pit. It's got tar. Well, it's not really tar. It's just kind of crappy water. It's polluted water. It's a hole with polluted water. It's basically what your swimming pool would be if you let it go for a couple of years. Yeah, it's great. Come on down.
30:13🔗AdamYeah, it's a beautiful, beautiful area. Oh, no, we don't got any Rocky Mountains or anything. No, no, no, no Golden Gate Bridge, nothing like that. But we got this pit. Come on in. Don't get too close. There's a fake, there's a fake elephant that looks like it's stuck. That thing cost, that was $1,500. You can't, you don't see that everywhere. You'd have to go to like a opening of a shoe store or something to see a fake elephant. Chris?
30:39🔗CallerYeah. You guys are cool. This is actually a question for Jeremy. I've read a lot of stuff in magazines and stuff lately about like what's been going on with your season. And they're saying that, are they just saying it's being sarcastic or what about disease with arm pumpers that just regular arm pump?
30:58🔗Jeremy McGrathNo, no. Like I was saying earlier, I think I had a little bit of a back injury going on and I was getting arm pumping. You know, I've never, throughout my whole career, I've never experienced what I was for the first few races.
31:10🔗DrewSo is this something in which you had a typical injury of a motorcycle riding?
31:14🔗Jeremy McGrathWell, a lot of guys, I see a lot of guys in our sport that suffer from arm pump which is what we, you know, when you ride.
31:49🔗DrewOr that if he begins to believe he's got this problem.
31:51🔗AdamJust listen to me. When you're out on that track, all you've got is your confidence. You've got to think like a winner. You start thinking about arm pump, back alignment, you can blow.
32:16🔗Jeremy McGrathBut now I'm fine. I mean, the first few races, I mean, we have brand new Bud Light Yamaha team, everything going good, really working hard over the summer, looking forward to this year. And then the first few races, I mean, geez, I was just struggling like I haven't before. So, you know, last weekend in Phoenix, I led the race for seven laps and it was a great, like, head clearing experience for me because the first three races were really tough.
32:41🔗CallerYeah. But I went to round one and I was like, I've been watching, I've been going, I've been going to Anaheim since about 95.
33:26🔗AdamWell, yeah, there's a lot of scooters and mopeds and stuff.
33:29🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, other than the US, France is pretty hip on the two-wheel thing. Really? We've got a lot of road racer, road race guys in here too, so.
33:39🔗AdamRoger DeCoster was probably a French guy. DeCoster's a French name. Belgium. Yeah, that's all the same place to me. Yeah, that's really, that's the difference between Glendale and Burbank to me. There's no big difference there. Same fun.
34:12🔗CallerMy, all right, I just write everything in my journal.
34:17🔗AdamUh-oh. You don't even have to read a journal. Just find a journal. You know, the kid's gay. It's not like you had to open it and says I'm gay. It's just you hold it up and go, he's gay, he's got a journal. Honey, can you believe this? You just leave it locked.
35:04🔗CallerI don't like just holding back since it's just writing to myself. So I just said everything I talked about, you know, how I have this friend who's gay and I phoned him a lot.
35:46🔗DrewI'm trying to keep it a log. How do they react tonight?
35:51🔗CallerActually, they, like a year back, they kind of caught me with like a hickey after I came from my friend's house. So they stuck me in therapy for like eight months.
36:07🔗CallerWell, they did, but she's just never written my journal before and I'm so mad.
36:13🔗AdamIs your mom, okay, you're mad, but they're not going to, you know, take, your dad's not going to take a swing at you or anything. I mean, they kind of saw this one coming a year ago, right?
37:14🔗DrewIt's going to be tough to you though. You're going to need, you know, you need a connected relationship with people who you can feel safe with and trust. Orange County has a very well-developed gay and lesbian youth center. Check that out. I have an 800 kind of number for you. It's 888-T-H-E-G-L-N-H, gay and lesbian national hotline.
37:38🔗DrewIt's the GLNH and just open the phone book, wherever you are there and look at the gay and lesbian youth center in Orange County. They're a very, very good center.
37:46🔗AdamYou're kind of gay or homo or what would you?
38:03🔗AdamYou didn't go to crappy schools like I did. That was real excitement. You can either kick the utility ball around the black top in no particular direction or we got Karems. Karems was like a flat piece of ply with little pockets on it.
38:18🔗DrewYeah, sort of pool with little movable spheres.
38:22🔗AdamCheckers pieces that rolled. You'd shoot with a little piece of crap. In the backside, every bad kids game, you know it's bad when there's a baseball game on the back, like dart boards have that, the Karems. Inexplicably, there's some sort of baseball thing, but it never works out. No one knows what it is or even how to do it.
38:42🔗AdamOnce in a while, someone will flip it over, look at it and go, no, no, no, no, flip, come on. I'm getting a headache. Flip it back. Same with the dart board. It's like behind every dart board in every pub, in every bar, in every house, in every garage, there's a baseball diamond that no one ever touches. I'd really like to give a lecture to the Dart Board Manufacturers Association of Americans. Save your ink. Nobody knows what's back there. You could put me just bending over and spreading my ass cheeks and no one would ever see it. No one knows.
39:12🔗Jeremy McGrathIt always stays on the dart board.
39:14🔗AdamPeople are flipping it back and forth. We're used to one side, the dart part of the dart board. That's the part we're interested in.
39:30🔗AdamOkay. Jeremy McGrath is our guest tonight, big super cross star. We will take a little break. When we come back, we'll speak to Gina with a mystery problem after this.
40:23🔗AdamHey, everybody. Loveline, I'm Adam Corolla, that's Dr. Drew, phone number 1-800-LOVE-191. Jeremy McGrath is here, the superstar of Supercross, and the next race is back at Anaheim this Saturday, correct?
40:38🔗Jeremy McGrathYes, sir. It's this Saturday night.
40:42🔗AdamAnd it sells out. A lot of trucks out in that parking lot with lift kits on it. And it's a family fair. Lots of guys out there bringing the kids, and it's a good time. You just can't go wrong. I love, like I always say, I love that KTM 50 race. Got this little 7- and 8-year-olds.
41:07🔗Jeremy McGrathLittle tiny kids going around the Supercross track.
41:10🔗AdamYeah, they just tip over every once in a while. And you know, when kids tip over, they wait to get un-tipped. They just lie there. Okay, I'm tipped over. Somebody write me.
41:18🔗Jeremy McGrathThe jumps are so peak that they go up and they just teeter-totter on the top of the jumps.
41:22🔗AdamWell, yeah, the jumps are so big that these kids on these little 50s, it becomes like the perfect storm. It's like a little tuna boat going over 80-foot swells. They can't see to the other side of them. They just roll up one and roll down the other. Like I said, I believe we're talking about this. Last year, some kid tried to hot dog it a little bit because they're heroes. Guys like Jeremy, when they win the race, they go over to the last jump and it's a big can-can move or something I invented called the Anne Flander. But feed off the pegs on both sides of the bike or they pancake it or they do whatever. So the kids try to, you know, they want to emulate, they try to do a little hot dog. Last race, I mean, last lap, last jump, guys lead in the race, the kid comes down the backside, tries a little hot dog move and eats crap, eats crap, crying all the way. I felt bad for laughing. It must have been the beer laughing, but everyone...
42:22🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, they do good though, considering these kids are awesome.
42:29🔗Jeremy McGrathThey're like, I think they're seven, seven eight year olds, six, seven eight year olds. They like divert them around the whoops, so they don't have to do that part.
42:39🔗AdamBut yeah, they took them out of the whoops this year. And they do great. And the bikes are like water-cooled, mono shocks and the bikes got like more travel in them than bikes did 15 years ago.
42:52🔗AdamIt's crazy. They're great. They're probably too grand, those little bikes. Gina? Yes. Drew, you gotta get your kid on a motorcycle. Get him on a bike.
43:05🔗The reason why I was calling is I have a medical question. I had went to the dermatologist. I had like a rash and she had given me some medicines and things to put on it. It was like an ointment and some pills to take. And I started noticing that I had these like, they kind of look like blood vessels on my legs that was busting and they were blue and they were red. Well, then they started kind of getting lighter. And then as the time went on, I started noticing all these like red and purplish dots. And they were, they started breaking out all over on me, like on my lower legs and up on my chest and on my stomach.
43:48🔗DrewYou're talking about bruises? You're talking about bruises?
43:51🔗I don't know if they're bruises. They're like little, they look like blood underneath my skin. They're like red.
43:58🔗AdamNo, no, but there's those, the red dots.
44:00🔗DrewAre you talking about little dots like a hickey would leave? Little tiny dots.
44:03🔗Yeah, they're real, real tiny. And they're in my mouth too now.
44:05🔗DrewOK, that's a serious thing. You've got to go see someone right away. Has Dermot Childs seen this?
44:10🔗She's seen it and she took blood from me. But the thing was, when I showed her on my leg, I only showed her down at the bottom part of my leg. She asked me if I had any more and I said no because I didn't realize that I had so many till I got home. Because you know how you don't like to examine every little mark on you.
44:24🔗DrewDo you have them in your eye? Like if you pull part of your eyelid back, look in there?
44:29🔗I hadn't seen them in my eye. I just noticed in my mouth because I felt something on my, because they're down, they're like in my mouth, you know, where your cheeks are and stuff. Not on the gums or anything but on the outer.
44:56🔗DrewWell, a lot of things can do this but it's a typically a sign of the platelet dysfunction.
45:03🔗AdamSo maybe she should go to a general doctor.
45:05🔗DrewWell, Jeannie, you ought to call a dermatologist and tell her that it's spreading and something you need to take care of right away, okay? Okay. Because on the lower, again, I'm trying to imagine what you're describing. There's something on the legs that you can get that looks like this. It's called a leukocytoclastic vasculitis and other kinds of vasculitis.
45:20🔗AdamJeremy wrote that down on a post-it and slid it over to me.
45:23🔗DrewBut the big thing that does this is platelet dysfunction. That's like leukemias and things like that.
45:28🔗AdamOh, bad times. All right, check it out. Tyler?
45:47🔗CallerI just wanted to know what you had planned for the, just if you're going to race anymore or how many more seasons are you going to go?
45:56🔗Jeremy McGrathWell, I mean, you know what? I just turned 30 in November and really, I never thought I'd be racing at this age right now. I thought all the guys that I looked up to when I was younger, retired when they were 26, 27 years old from racing. And I mean, shoot, I've been still having a lot of fun at it, still been very competitive at it. And we just signed a great deal with Bud Light, Yamaw for next couple of years. So I plan on fulfilling that and see how it goes. As long as I'm competitive and having fun, I think I don't see any reason I can't go on for a little longer.
46:34🔗AdamAll right, we will take ourselves a break and we'll come back with Jeremy McGrath and Dr. Drew and you after this.
46:42🔗DrewAll right, guys, here's the deal. Looking to hook up?
46:56🔗CallerAdam and Dr. Drew will be right back on Loveline.
47:37🔗AdamYeah. There you go. Mike wasn't on there, and it's old. Oh, okay. Hey, everybody, Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Jeremy McGrath is our guest tonight.
47:49🔗AdamAnd just talking to Jeremy about, when you watch the Supercross race, and it's interesting when the guys are 35 feet in the air, once in a while you see their back tires stop. And next, I was saying, why are they putting the brake on in the air? And he's saying that it pulls the bike.
48:10🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. What I was saying is, a lot of us, when you're in the air, if you jump, say you get a little squirrely and you're jumping a little front end high, you can pull on the clutch and hit the rear pedal, the rear brake lever, and then it drops the front down.
48:24🔗AdamYeah. I'm guessing because it's like a gyro. I mean, there's inertia to that thing. And when you stop it, it's going to force the front end down, right?
48:33🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, that's exactly right. And then, for instance, if you jump with the front end low, and you're going to maybe endo or go over the bars, you open the throttle wide open and it pulls the front up because the rear wheel starts spinning extra fast.
48:51🔗AdamYeah, that's great, but you got to think of that. And you got to do that thing that goes against all human nature. You know, like when people tell you, like with certain cars, if you start losing it in the corner, don't hit the brakes. Give it more gas. It's like, yeah, tell that to my balls and my foot. I'm cool with that, but my balls and my foot don't understand. Me going over the bars, I don't want more throttle. Yeah. What does crying do? Does that write you at all? That's what I would do. I would just start crying.
49:21🔗Jeremy McGrathNo, because if you don't hit the pedal or if you don't hit the gas, in those situations, you will cry.
49:26🔗AdamYou will go over it. Yeah, it's really weird. Yeah, guys sort of adjusting themselves in flight.
49:33🔗Jeremy McGrathWell, oftentimes when we're racing and you jump the triple, if you jump with the front end a little low, you can stay lower in the air.
49:43🔗Jeremy McGrathSo oftentimes you'll see us with the front low and think, oh, something's wrong and he's going to crash or something. But right at the last second, you just hit the throttle and the front comes up. And it's all instinct by now.
49:56🔗AdamYeah. Repetition, man. The 125ers are making it over those triples, some of them now too.
50:03🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. A lot of them are making it in to see Drew too.
50:10🔗Jeremy McGrathI mean, if they make any little mistake, it's 75 feet or 70 feet, depending on which track with often like a double right before it. So you got to do a double perfectly. Then you got to do everything you can do to get this 70 feet in on a 125. And a lot of the guys are like we were talking about it. A few of the guys out there got broken legs and broken arms.
50:33🔗AdamIt's just not enough torque, not enough power to accelerate you into the triple.
50:38🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, just not enough horsepower. And if you make, you can do it as long as you do the section really good. But if you mess up at all, you know, then that's the whole thing too.
50:48🔗AdamLike this is the kind of thing that you would want. You would want a parking lot size take off area. You'd want to check the wind. You'd be down there at the end like Evil Knievel. You'd want to give the thumbs up. Not every, not coming out of woof-dee-doos or coming out of a berm or just coming off a jump and going into the 75 foot jump which is what these guys do. It's not like they got a long run at it. They can't adjust themselves. They're coming off of something that screwed them up into this monster jump. That's a crazy part. And then the 125, half the guys are now on the ground on the triple jump and the other guys are 30 feet above them. Which doesn't seem, it just seems like there's trouble waiting to happen.
51:34🔗Jeremy McGrathI mean, especially if you're one of the guys that's not jumping the triple, you better move to one side or the other because, you know, some guy behind you might be going bananas and not thinking and jump and land on you.
51:46🔗Jeremy McGrathAnd I mean, that's happened. A kid just got hurt at one of the first rounds. He's kind of got in a coma because he got landed on. So.
52:00🔗AdamHe had the helmet on and everything, right? I mean, Jesus. Yeah.
52:03🔗Jeremy McGrathBut it was the same scenario, you know, someone landed on him. You just got to be real careful that. I mean, 250, you have a lot of horsepower, so most everyone's going to triple.
52:34🔗CallerSo we decided to split up for a little while. We didn't see each other or talk to each other for about a month and a half.
52:40🔗We didn't really get back together, but we kind of met up one time. We just started hanging out. We became really good friends. Decided that we wanted to get back together, but she turned out to be pregnant. She still is obligated to this other guy.
52:51🔗DrewLet me translate that. He started desperately hanging around her, and she sort of allowed to have him.
52:56🔗AdamWell, she's like a little vulnerable now. Where's this other guy?
53:00🔗DrewThe other guy's probably an idiot, so she's got to have him in the bullpen, especially when she's pregnant. She needs this guy.
53:10🔗AdamWell, you do, but is he going to be around? Does he want to get married?
53:14🔗Well, he's going to be around, and apparently he wants to get married, but the only reason why she's holding back is because of me. And I don't know what to do. I don't know whether to tell her to just go ahead and go on or. I mean, to me, I just want her to be happy. I don't care if it's with me or with her or with him, but there's a little piece of me in the back of my mind. It's like, I hope it ends.
53:38🔗I really don't care. I mean, I don't care the fact that she's pregnant with another guy's baby or not. I mean.
53:42🔗AdamLittle piece about the size of the Washington Monument? That size little piece in the back of your mind? Yeah. Hey, Mike. Yeah. I know you're 20 and you're squirreling. It's hard to think about other people being into you, but this chick's pregnant and she's just close to marrying some other guy, and you guys already broke up once and just-
54:05🔗DrewHer reasons for having you around are sort of spurious.
54:07🔗AdamYou need to do that thing. You know when you play 21 and they change the dealers out? They do that clap and spread thing. I'll do it after I drain a three-pointer on the backyard court that- That's what you need to do. That's it. It's a new dealer. New dealer. Mike, you're going to be raising this kid. Then you're going to have another one with her, and then things are going to get rocky in a couple of years, and then this guy's going to be coming around all the time. I don't want to say you can do better, but you can do less complicated. You're 20. Find some 19-year-old college chick who doesn't want to get hitched for a few years, and have a good time.
54:47🔗Jeremy McGrathExactly. Take your time with it. You don't need to get involved in that.
54:52🔗DrewHe's hanging around, grooming it, and she's grooming him for the bullpen. I mean, it's crazy dance. She's working the fence.
55:00🔗DrewWe're just really good friends now. I was like, oh, come on.
55:03🔗AdamAnd what happens with guys, too, especially if high school wasn't real good to them sexually, they hook up with someone at 19 or 20, and they think, well, this is it.
55:17🔗AdamFinally found someone who's into me. Someone is going to hold still for me to have sex with them? I can't let this person go. And they get really into them, and then they start talking about soulmates and stuff. And they just think they're never going to meet anybody else, and they break up, and they hang around. And there's just, you'll get, you'll go out with, well, not a thousand, but several hundred.
55:37🔗Jeremy McGrathI think that often happens, especially with the first one, maybe.
55:40🔗AdamOh, absolutely. Absolutely. And the problem is you then commit, and then you have kids, and then it gets screwy, and it doesn't work.
55:49🔗DrewAgain, that example of how different men and women deal with one another in a state of weakness, you know? Guys are just waiting for a woman to have some sort of disability, some sort of problem to keep her down, some sort of vulnerability. Men, if they are sort of down and out or vulnerable women, like, will not have anything to do with them.
56:09🔗DrewI mean, just fuh, fuh. It's something faulty about it. It's like looking at faulty merchandise in the store or something like, fuh, fuh. Somebody else, nobody will touch this.
56:16🔗AdamYeah, well, yeah, women are great. Women are like...
56:19🔗DrewIt's on sale? Nobody wants it then. I don't want it.
56:22🔗AdamYeah, yeah, we got to wait till there's another, another chick grabbing the other side of the bra that we're having a tug of war with, and now we're into it.
56:29🔗DrewBut guys is like, we're like lions waiting in the brush.
56:32🔗AdamWell, because we're smart. I mean, we are. We're like lions waiting in the brush. Why go after the fastest gazelle? Let's go after the one with the bum leg who's lagging behind that we can get a free meal off of.
56:50🔗Jeremy McGrathWho's that guy leading out there?
56:51🔗AdamYeah, who's the one out front? Oh, it's great. That just means they kick you when you're down. You women are so brutal that way. You know what I love? I love this one too, like when a chick is really hot for a guy and she's like, he's really cute and we're going out and he's really hot and I'm really into him, and then they come home and it's like, what happened? I don't like him. What happened? He asked if he could kiss me. It was so weird. They get really weird about nothing. If there's a chick that you think is really hot and that you're really into and you're going out with her, she could just burn a rebel flag in front of you and start talking about joining the Aryan youth, or attack you with a crocheting needle and you'd be like, it's cool.
58:00🔗DrewHe asked me where I wanted to go for dinner. Can you imagine that?
58:03🔗AdamYeah. He said, where do you want to go? I said, I don't care where you want to go. He said again, where do you want to go? Yuck. Now they're turned off sexually. The world's best-looking guys now physically amassed to them because he said something stupid or asked them where you wanted to go.
58:19🔗DrewThen they can't tell that that's happening to their perception of the attractiveness.
58:27🔗AdamRight. By the same token, this is the way the ugly guys get laid who have the cool vibe. They fool women into that. We're so much smarter. It's so easy. We like the good-looking ones. We want to kill the ugly ones. It's very straightforward. The personality, not a factor. That's why guys marry chicks that don't even speak English. Other guys are happy about that. They're like, yeah, I met Mitsuk. She's from Korea.
58:54🔗Jeremy McGrathThat's why they have those e-mail brides or whatever.
59:26🔗Thank you very much. I have a question for Dr. Drew. I broke my leg and I couldn't work out any more, and I gained like 10 pounds during the healing process, and my breasts got a lot bigger. They were like double Ds, and now that I've lost the 10 pounds, I miss my double Ds, and I was wondering if there's a way to do it naturally so that they can get larger again.
1:00:43🔗DrewHow can you have a non-physiologic experience without pharmacology? What are you asking, Sarah? Magic?
1:00:52🔗AdamWe should put our hands together, form a circle, and chant under our breath.
1:00:56🔗DrewYou're asking for there to be some alteration of your physiology. That's called pharmacology.
1:01:01🔗Well, do you advocate the herbal pills or anything like that?
1:01:07🔗DrewThey don't work, but to the extent that they could, it would be because of estrogen effects, which is the pill.
1:01:13🔗So you think that I could go from D to double D by getting on the pill?
1:01:18🔗DrewSome women do that. That happens sometimes. But it's no way it's going to happen. Your natural state is your natural state. There's nothing you can do to that to make it different except by altering it. And you can alter it with pharmacology, whether it's an herbal pharmacology or a synthetic pharmacology, it's all the same to your breast. It's just estrogen.
1:01:41🔗AdamGive your speech about the man and the herbs and all that.
1:01:44🔗DrewI mean, chemicals are chemicals. It doesn't matter if they come out of plants or whatever, just because they're, you know, you don't know specifically what's in them because they come out of a plant product. All pharmacology agents, ultimately, or many of them come from plant products. They're just more refined. They're more specific when they're in a pill form.
1:02:00🔗AdamLook at it this way. They're just cleaner.
1:02:01🔗DrewYeah, it's bizarre. I mean, it's like, well, those are the man's drugs. It's all the same. Listen, I just read an article today about kava kava causing liver failure. I mean, resulin was a great diabetic medicine because three people had liver failure. It was this huge scandal. Kava kava has caused it in dozens of people now. And barely a whimper. Well, take it off some shelves and switch to Germany.
1:02:23🔗AdamBasically, though, it's like this. If you take a Valium, you'll get screwed up. And if you eat a peyote cactus, you'll get screwed up, you know? And you're getting screwed up. Yeah. One of them is at least monitored and regulated and you know where it's been. And the other one could have, you know, could have coyote crap on it. That's all. And I don't know. And it's that sort of feeble-minded.
1:02:49🔗DrewWell, it's bizarre. If it's the man, it's bad. Right. If it's the plant, it's good.
1:02:55🔗AdamHere's what I have to say for all the people that are worried about the man. You wait till you get something. Wait till you get hepatitis and you need some of them pills, you need some of that AZT or that Xerac or what the hell is that stuff you get with the liver, the hepatitis pills.
1:03:14🔗AdamInterfere on. Yeah. Yeah. But you know what I want to do? I want to cut all those pussies off because they talk smack about the man. No, no, no. Go to your Chinese friend, the herbalist and have him prescribe some crap that grows in cow dung. Yeah. Have fun there, Chachi. No, they're all kissing the man's ass at that point. I'd like an apology as a friend of the man at that point. When all these herbal nut jobs, they finally get the hiv and then they want to get on the triple cocktail. No, no, no. I'd like you to kiss the man's ass. Yeah. How about a little vitamin C and some cava cava?
1:03:50🔗AdamEat some root. Yeah. No, the man, they all stay at the hospital. Don't go there. Husses. Drives me nuts. It's sort of, and everyone buys into it. It's like, oh yeah, it's cool though. He's doing it naturally. Please.
1:04:05🔗DrewI was just thinking, I read another article in a medical magazine. It was talking about pharmacists advocating on behalf of stuff going over the counter, which you know that you and I are both enthusiastic about, and that physicians were going up and saying, well, we need to people need monitoring, we need control of these out of hand, and that's a viable point. The pharmacist goes, well, they're going to lose their business. That's why it's like, no, wait. Doctors now get paid when people don't come to their office. That's how the system is set up. The system is set up, you get responsibility for a group of people, and if they don't visit you, it works better.
1:04:58🔗CallerHey, before I get going, I wanted to comment on the Man Show the other night when you had the Man Show boy was going around and using his fake ID.
1:05:11🔗CallerThat was hilarious. I don't think I've laughed that hard in many years.
1:05:14🔗AdamWell, did you see the Man Show boy selling beer?
1:05:18🔗CallerNot selling, only buying. When he said, I don't ask to check your green card. That was just classic humor.
1:05:26🔗AdamWell, thanks. If you get on the Internet, you can find the Man Show boy selling beer somewhere, and that's a funny one too. Jeremy, did you get the tape you're in?
1:05:36🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. Yeah. Cheryl just gave that to me.
1:06:22🔗AdamI pick up my hand from the airport. I got to slide in and booze it up a little.
1:06:25🔗CallerThe only problem with that is you don't get the little bottles of liquor. See, those are kind of cool because...
1:06:29🔗AdamNo, no, no. I get drunk at the airport bar and it's weird. It's like Pavlovian now. I mean, I never had... I would never drink at 7 in the morning. You know, I go to bed at 2 a.m. for Christ's sake. I get up at 5.30. I got a 7 a.m. flight to make out of LAX. To New York. I'm sitting at a bar at 6.30 having a Bloody Mary, getting loaded. I would never do that. I would do it if I stayed up continuously. I would never get up and get loaded. It's now part of my travel plans. I get loaded.
1:07:00🔗DrewYeah. You're saying it as though you don't do it. That's not me. I never do that.
1:07:04🔗AdamThat's not like me. That doesn't sound like the kind of thing I would do.
1:07:20🔗AdamWe'll take a break. We'll be right back.
1:07:25🔗CallerLove Line, with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew.
1:07:26🔗Caller1-800-LOVE-1-9-1 We'll be right back.
1:07:59🔗AdamHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Carolla, that is Dr. Drew over there, Jeremy McGrath. The world's greatest supercross rider is here tonight, and if you want to see him, you can see him on Friday, February 1st. That's this Friday, right?
1:08:38🔗AdamWell, what's the Hooter plan? That there's not one within like 50 miles of LA County or something? I mean, there's no Hooters. There is one now?
1:08:49🔗AdamThere is? Okay, because there's never just, shouldn't there be one in Sherman Oaks or something? I mean, shouldn't there be one in the valley somewhere I can go to? Because you're going to get loaded.
1:08:59🔗AdamYou need to drive 70 miles loaded. I mean, I can't, but you kids don't do that. Bucket of wings between your legs. And also Saturday, the second at seven o'clock, that's the fifth round of the Supercross at Anaheim Stadium, Edison Field. But I think that's going to be sold out. They try to get tickets anyway, though.
1:09:20🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. I don't know if it's sold out yet, but I would say that your best bet is to try and get tickets early if you're planning on going, for sure.
1:09:28🔗AdamWhere is the... What's the best town for Supercross right now? I think I ask you that every time.
1:09:34🔗DrewWhat's the best audience or what's the best stadium?
1:09:36🔗AdamYeah. Who sells out the fastest? Where are the most enthusiastic?
1:09:40🔗Jeremy McGrathYou know what? Southern California has been great this year. I mean, the first four rounds have sold out this week and will probably sell out and then we go to Indianapolis. We start going out east after this. But I mean, what's amazing about Supercross is we've had... This will be the third round we've had at Anaheim and I'm sure it's going to sell out. I mean, everyone is digging.
1:10:00🔗DrewIs it proximity to desert more of the issue than like NASCAR thing? You know what I mean? The open spaces where we can ride motorcycles are really what enthusiasts come from. So it's really desert.
1:10:32🔗Jeremy McGrathWell, they don't have a, we didn't, I don't know what the stadium is there, but we didn't race in the stadium. We raced at a Juliet drag strip or something. So it was kind of...
1:10:42🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, it was outside of town. All right. Well, we go to like Minneapolis and it's freezing. Snow on the ground. It's cold and it's packed.
1:10:50🔗DrewBut those Minneapolisites, Minneapolis will do anything.
1:11:16🔗AdamWhen you walk through the LA airport, you're nothing. You go out to Crapville, and hey, it's Dr. Drew, everybody. You ought to move to Crapville and hang out at the airport. Get a job at the Jody Morrone's.
1:11:31🔗Jeremy McGrathA lot of the cities we go to, they don't have any competition exactly there. So it's packed.
1:11:38🔗DrewDo all airports have Jody Morrone? Just LA.
1:11:41🔗AdamI don't know. I don't know. But it's the best $9 hot dog I've ever had. So people are like, hey, this is a really good dog. I was like, that was $14. It better be goddamn good.
1:11:54🔗AdamYeah, I'll go get a side of brisket somewhere. I'll go get a brisket and go down to Black Angus for that goddamn money. Joe? Yes, sir. I'm sorry. So-
1:12:05🔗DrewAdam, Jeremy, I see Cheryl over there crapping herself. Read from this card, please. Read from the card.
1:12:12🔗AdamNational Sports Bar on State College Boulevard. This is going to be the Steel Roots 3. There's going to be another premiere of this movie, right?
1:12:24🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. It's a brand new video, SR3.
1:12:27🔗AdamIt's a great video, by the way I saw it. You can't go wrong. It's Jeremy riding a bike like a madman with a bunch of other crazy guys.
1:12:34🔗DrewAll hopped up on drugs and it's great.
1:12:37🔗AdamYeah. Where's that at? National Sports Bar? That's the second, right?
1:12:43🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. It's a Saturday night after the Supercross. The video will probably show at midnight again. Right. We had it last, you went last time. We were at the Grove there.
1:12:51🔗AdamYeah. It was great. It was too many idiots. They're all left out.
1:12:55🔗DrewThey did everything they need to do? All right.
1:13:16🔗CallerI heard he had problems with the diaphragm.
1:13:18🔗DrewAnd what does it give you? What kind of pain does it give you?
1:13:20🔗CallerReal sharp stabbing pain with any kind of aspiration or breathing, coughing, sneezing, all that. And I had a major, I had a cholecystectomy, a pilaroplasty and a fundoplication done open. It was supposed to be a lapin.
1:13:36🔗DrewNow wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You're 30 years old and you've already had a fundoplication? Yeah. What's that?
1:13:45🔗DrewIt's like the stomach has to be pulled down through the diaphragm because it's going up the hiatal hernia and it's the pleuroplasty because he had a bad ulcer probably. I mean, what is going on? Are we a heavy drinker?
1:13:55🔗CallerNo, no. I had a really extreme, a real extreme hiatal hernia.
1:14:01🔗DrewYeah, that's why I'm asking. Why would a 20-year-old get these awful problems that normally happen to a 70-year-old?
1:14:05🔗CallerOh, no. I was in the Army at the time. I was in great physical condition. I weighed 175. I had about 12 percent body fat. I ran two miles in 11 flat.
1:14:16🔗DrewYou were not drinking, not doing steroids?
1:14:41🔗CallerWhat we're trying to do is I'm going in on the 4th for an interstitial pump placement. Or they're going to do the trial.
1:14:50🔗DrewThis is just a disaster, Joe. But go ahead. It puts morphine right into his spine.
1:14:56🔗CallerYeah, unfortunately, they can't do morphine because I'm allergic to it. But it's going to be something like that. Yeah, so but the problem is I take, you know, the Oxycontin and I take Elaville and I take Sandostatin. It's a synthetic Samandastatin because I have dumping syndrome now after the, what is it, the phyloplasty. But my ex-wife decides during our divorce proceedings that she wants me, she says I'm an addict. I'm an opium addict and our opiate addict.
1:16:33🔗DrewWell, no, it's got to be random. I got to pick it.
1:16:35🔗AdamOh, you picked the night. Yeah, I'm cool. All right, Joe was, whoa.
1:16:42🔗Jeremy McGrathHe had some stuff going on. He had a tough time there for a while.
1:16:45🔗DrewBut there is just something missing from that story.
1:16:49🔗AdamDon't, like I said, don't you go bad every once in a while?
1:16:52🔗DrewNo. You know what that must have been? That must have been him coming in and complaining about pain.
1:16:57🔗AdamPain, pain, pain. You know, Joe did have a rap. Yeah. A lot of drug guys have a rap. They talk fast and they say, here's what happened and they don't leave a lot of room for question. But when you start exploring things, you find out there's more.
1:17:16🔗DrewWe thought he was a drug addict two seconds into the conversation.
1:17:35🔗CallerWhat's up, dude? I just want to call to say that first of all, it's Saturday, me and the guys from Dubb are going to be out there rooting for you, dude.
1:17:43🔗AdamDid you just crap or come or what? What came out of you?
1:18:18🔗CallerMy question is, MC, how do you feel about, it's like a lot of foreigners are coming into the sport making a big name for themselves and it seems like the future is leaning towards guys from out of the country and younger guys like Bubba Stewart who made an amazing race last weekend coming from dead 22nd to 2nd and were they taking 1st with another couple of laps.
1:18:44🔗AdamYeah, it's the black guy. I was still talking about that.
1:18:47🔗Jeremy McGrathWhat I feel about that is, you know, eventually the sport has to have new guys, whether they're foreigners or not. I mean, oftentimes in our sport, the foreigners have a tough time with the PR part of it, you know, because there's a language barrier and stuff like that. Yeah, but, you know.
1:19:05🔗DrewHow does your sport progress professionally? I mean, if you're a pro football player, you become a coach or you become a manager. Where do you go?
1:19:12🔗Jeremy McGrathWell, a lot of the guys, when they're done racing, they teach schools.
1:19:35🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. Well, you know what's funny is our sport is just getting into that. I mean, every sport, tennis, baseball, basketball, everyone has a personal trainer, personal coach, and all this stuff.
1:19:48🔗Jeremy McGrathAnd we're now just starting to get into that. But it's not something that the manufacturers hire or anything like that, or the teams. It's more like, if I want a trainer, then I'm going to have to go take care of that myself.
1:20:00🔗AdamRight. Well, it's more like you're going to get your kid a trainer when he's nine. You know, I mean, in their elements of that, too.
1:20:08🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, there is actually many kids, amateur kids, that race. Sometimes that happens often now, especially with the sport being so popular. And a lot of the parents seeing the dollar bills, that's become more popular.
1:20:22🔗AdamBecause it's a hard sport to us, not unlike golf or tennis. It's a hard sport to step into at 18.
1:20:31🔗AdamYou know, I mean, you better be on a bike by the time you're five or six.
1:20:35🔗DrewI would think it'd be dangerous. You got to have all kinds of instincts going.
1:20:38🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, by that time, by the time you're 18, it has to be all natural. You have to.
1:20:42🔗AdamYeah, it's got to be, you know, put that brake on in the air and even out the endo there, the wheelie or whatever the hell you got going on. Jesus Christ. Flipping it. You can do that in your sleep. That's what we used to call it, the flipping it. Yeah, not me. I like to panic. But I did get the bike. I got the bike and put it in the garage now. I got a dirt bike I never ride.
1:21:25🔗Jeremy McGrathYou got to wear a cup. Remember that one time we talked about it?
1:21:28🔗AdamI got to wear a cup, but I got to wear a lot. Like you guys don't. I notice you guys. We don't wear cups. You don't wear shoulder pads anymore, do you? Is there anything going on on the shoulders?
1:21:39🔗Jeremy McGrathA lot of the kids when they're young, wear a chest protector up until they get to the 250 class. I don't know. I think it's more of an image thing, I guess. It's definitely probably not the right thing to do.
1:21:52🔗AdamA chunk of plastic, it's a piece of plastic going across your chest. It stops a rock that gets shot out from a guy's in front. But when you're like me and you're leading, pulling the whole shots and leading the whole race, you don't have to worry. Although when I come up on lapped traffic, I guess it can be an issue. I never thought about that. Hey, Michael, what's up?
1:22:13🔗CallerWell, I think I've earned it. All right.
1:22:57🔗CallerSomething is going in there that's not supposed to be...
1:23:01🔗DrewWell, that can be a hernia. That can be a hernia, but that goes in one side, not both sides.
1:23:04🔗AdamI tell you, he is like a master storyteller.
1:23:09🔗DrewBut sometimes I guess he would know how to feel one versus the other. It could be a hernia, but it could be a cystacy. It could be nothing. It could be a lot of things. But why in line have I been worried about it? Why didn't I get it checked out?
1:23:42🔗AdamI've been up here a couple of times. Let's just keep asking questions. Jeremy, how do you do that front wheelie? You've got to put the brake on.
1:23:52🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah. You just use the front brake and you apply it, kind of hard to get the front up like that, and then you just got to control the front wheelie. It's something that takes practice. I mean, I wouldn't advise it on pavement first.
1:24:07🔗Jeremy McGrathAlthough, you get the most traction with the front wheel on pavement.
1:24:10🔗AdamYeah. Riding the wheelie on the bikes is cool. Riding the coolest thing is the riding the wheelies on the street bikes. It's hairy, but it's cool. You know those guys, when they cross the finish, they just pull up on the, what the hell, the Can-Am or the Grand Prix racers? I love that. There's nothing better. Nothing better than a bike that's low in the front with the fairing just coming way up.
1:24:35🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, now they do those like stand up wheelies that are so cool looking.
1:24:39🔗AdamYeah. Drew, you ever do them stand up wheelies? Oh, sure. Okay. All right, we're going to take ourselves, yeah, there's that front wheelies tough because...
1:24:51🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, you go, you go fast and then you grab the, you know, a hard front brake and get the bike to tip up on the front wheel and...
1:24:59🔗Jeremy McGrathYou know, obviously you have to keep the front wheel straight because if it turns, you're going to go over the handlebars and then you just got to give the right amount of brake pressure and...
1:26:23🔗AdamHey, everybody, Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew. Jeremy McGrath is here. Superstar of Supercross. And you can find him Saturday, February 2nd at 7 p.m. over at the Anaheim Stadium or the Edison International Field as they now call it, doing the race thing. And then you can see him at Hooters, getting autograph from 6.30 to 7, out at Newport Beach on Friday. That's the day before.
1:26:53🔗AdamSorry. I wanted to put a little fire in the people's ass. And then you can see him, you can go see his film, The Bloody Demons of Sprockets 5. Wait a minute, Steel Roots 3. And I saw it. It was hard because a bunch of drunk bitches were standing in front of the plasma screen back there, you know. Not paying attention. I wanted to yell at Adam, chicks back there getting loaded. But I was, I watched the entire thing, although I have no memory of it.
1:27:24🔗Jeremy McGrathYou sure you weren't watching the loaded chicks?
1:28:18🔗CallerAnd the other one is with this girl that I like. So, what should I say first? What do you want to know?
1:28:31🔗AdamWell, I'd like to know why you're asking us what we want to know. No, you're not great at talking to the lads, are you? I am not. That's all right. Well, first off, let's address the skinny thing.
1:28:46🔗DrewYeah, the thin thing is an asset, not a liability.
1:28:48🔗AdamChicks like skinny. There's plenty of skinny guys getting laid.
1:28:58🔗AdamYeah. Look at the DJ Quells, whatever the hell his name was. Yeah. That guy gets some tail. Skinny guys, here's what I like. Here's my comment. I would say the average guy, the average guy who's 20 pounds underweight gets laid more than the average guy who's 20 pounds overweight. Wouldn't you say that's fair?
1:30:08🔗AdamYeah. When you have the junior or the community or anything that comes before the college, that nullifies the college, that then comes after it. It's like barber college, not real college.
1:30:31🔗Jeremy McGrathI think don't plan on talking to the chick that's so hot and thinking you're gonna go out with her. Just talk to her as your friend or whatever first and it becomes easier, I would say.
1:30:41🔗AdamYeah, go out and don't go after the super hot ones. You gotta build your confidence with some heifers. It's always funny when a real skinny guy goes out with a fat chick too.
1:31:22🔗CallerYeah, I've been going out with this girl for about two years now, pretty close to two years. And when we first started our relationship, we were doing lots of drugs together. And right now I'm trying to like calm it down a little bit. And she doesn't really want to.
1:31:41🔗CallerThe drugs. Right now our relationship is great. And for some weird reason, she kind of wants to get married to me. And she's kind of too young for that.
1:32:13🔗DrewBut she's an addict, though. She can't. That's the thing about being an addict. If you can stop, go ahead.
1:32:19🔗AdamIt's 17. It's a little easier to stop.
1:32:21🔗DrewIt is easy. Absolutely. The biology is actually quite different than at 17. But once it gets going, if it's going with enough intensity, as it sounds like it is here, you can't.
1:32:32🔗DrewWell, John, you can't make her want to stop. You can't. You're either going to have to accept what's happening with her or try to leverage her into treatment by saying, listen, if you don't stop this, I can't be around you while you're doing this, and this relationship won't last.
1:32:48🔗DrewThose are your choices. The probability is, I'm not sure if you're an addict or not, but if you have trouble stopping staying with her, your health and well-being is going to be dependent on this relationship breaking up as well.
1:33:00🔗CallerYeah. Am I right? Yeah. Just one more thing. Like, I mean, I'm the one that gets it. Do you think if I was to cut off all the...
1:33:11🔗DrewWell, certainly, buying drugs for her, you're not helping things, right?
1:33:15🔗AdamMight be a good place to start there, John.
1:33:17🔗DrewYou're not supplying her with the drugs. Don't feel you have to enable the behavior, and don't worry how she reacts. That's her problem, how she reacts. You're doing what's right. Yeah.
1:33:26🔗Jeremy McGrathWell, then he'll know if she likes him for the drugs or for him.
1:33:32🔗Jeremy McGrathI mean, obviously, it's not good, so.
1:33:34🔗AdamWe'll take a little break. We'll be right back. Hey, all right, there you go. Loveline, that is it. I want to thank Jeremy McGrath for coming out here. Always, always a good time.
1:34:38🔗Jeremy McGrathThanks a lot. I'm glad to be here.
1:34:41🔗AdamYou're welcome to come down anytime. Anaheim this Saturday for the big super cross race. Friday, the day before, at the Hooter 630 to 730 at Newport Beach and then the Steel Roots 3, which is going to re-premiere again after the show, after the big motocross race at about 1130 at the, where is that, the sports bar?
1:35:05🔗Jeremy McGrathYeah, we're going to show it, National Sports Bar.
1:35:16🔗AdamGood. You can stagger over there. All right, so until next time, this is Adam Corolla for Dr. Drew saying mahalo. And we're going to take a picture. We're going to do a shot. We're going to take a picture doing a shot.
