Adam has a gruesome farm accident dismemberment example, Matt brings up ball pain and Adam is now addressing that and how it’s not a guarantee it will hurt.
Gina asks about how a testicle injury actually travels, the pain of it.

CLL #1145 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2000 – GUEST: VIN DIESEL • HOST: ADAM, DR. DREW
Matt is now talking about Tokyo Drift but he’s not bringing up the timeline, Adam shares his take on the end of the film and the Vin Diesel cameo, Matt argues that Tokyo Drift is better than part 4 ‘Fast and Furious’ and even though Adam has been schooled in the timeline he’s forgetting about it.
The movies go 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, and 7. With Vin Diesel’s short film taking place between 1 and 4 and explaining most of the backstory of Dom and Letty from the end of the first movie where they take off.
The Character ‘Han’ was played by the same actor who played ‘Han’ in Justin Lin the director and Carolla Superfans earlier work ‘Better Luck Tomorrow’ a very solid movie, his character is essentially the same guy from that movie, killed off in part III, then brought back in 4, 5 and 6 which time shifted part III Tokyo Drift to right after the end of part 6 then augmenting a key scene of part III to feature the enemy from Furious 7.
I actually explained this entire timeline to Adam prior to the release of Fast 5 while he was on tour and we were in Denver walking to Starbucks, he has referenced that since.
Adam is now riffing about ‘Fast and Furious’ and hitting a lot of the same bits from his Basic Cable Commentary 3 ‘Fast and Furious’ (2009) which you can purchase for only 99 cents and watch the movie along with Adam, it’s totally worth it.
