Also, not a plug, but something I just wanted to talk about, the Long Beach Grand Prix. So I just got back from the Mojave Desert. Well, actually, Lancaster. I don't even know where that is. It's about 80 miles away from where I live and spent some quality time with the celebrities in the Celebrity Grand Prix out at Willow Springs.
Now, for those of you who want to know how it works, I'll tell you how it works. I am one of the celebrities that's racing in the race. Adrian Brody, Academy Award winner from his role in Roman Polanski's The Penis. He was in King Kong, The Village, Jacket.

Chapter 3: What highlights are featured from The Adam Carolla Show?
You've seen all those. You know Adrian Brody, right? He's the guy who kissed Halle Berry up on stage when he won his Oscar. Brian Austin Green. Brian Austin Green, by the way, Donnie, I hope you're listening. The hottest girl in my grade school was named Lori Kovacs. And Brian Austin Green is her half-brother, which I knew nothing of.
But it turns out he grew up two blocks away from me with me wanting to hump his sister. You know, dry hump. It was a long time ago. But Brian Austin Green and I basically grew up in the same place. He went to North Hollywood High and the whole nine yards. Of course, you remember Brian from Beverly Hills 90210, stuff like that. Christian Slater, nicest guy in the world, also doing it.
Keanu Reeves, who I spent quite a bit of time with on the track yesterday. Now, boy, you want to talk about a treat, and I'll tell you why I got in the show business. I was at Willow Springs Raceway yesterday in a Scion that was supercharged with a roll cage in it. And it was a nice track up there.
And me and Keanu did about 10 hot laps where he was behind me and he was attempting to pass me for at least 8 of the 10 laps. And I mean up my ass. I mean literally bumping me inches away from my rear bumper. And this is a road course. This is not... an oval.
So it's, you're going uphill, you're going downhill, you're doing right hand turns and left hand turns and sweeping turns and hairpin turns and long straightaways. And you're going all the way through the gears and you're dropping it back down into the gears and you're, you know, smoke coming out of the tires and, you know, tire screeching and whatever. And, uh,
Keanu was up my ass for eight laps and I cut him off. He won the Toyota Grand Prix celebrity race last year, so he's no slouch, but I literally just looked in the mirror and cut his line off every single time he tried to pass. I blocked him. And then when I got home that night after doing a whole bunch of laps, the next time I went out, I told Keanu, you go first, and I'll see if I can pass you.
And I did pass him, by the way, but then later on at the end of the day, he got the best of me. But either way, I did that. So there I am at Willow Springs, just me and Keanu Reeves having a one-on-one, mano-a-mano, sky-on-ee, sky-on race. Sion-y Sion? Whatever you say.
Race in the desert all goddamn day, and then I go home, I get home, I eat dinner, I plop down in the den, I turn on the TV, and there's Point Break is on, and I watch the entire Point Break beat off and go to bed. I mean... brush my teeth and go to bed.
But it was so surreal to be out on this track battling with Keanu Reeves the entire day and then go home and watch Point Break before I went to bed that night. Nice guy, Keanu. And I will say this. I sort of misjudged a guy. I never interviewed him. I thought he was too cool for school. I didn't know the guy.

Chapter 4: What memorable experiences does Adam share about racing?
I mean, those guys like part of the race was to cheat and not be caught.
Yeah. Now, Tanner Faust, who's going to come on our car cast show. Oh, excellent. A great driver, Donnie, who's just blowing the shit out of everyone out there. Tanner, I was talking to and I said he's in the pro group with Steve Millen. And I said, you better keep an eye on that guy. And he said, I'm going to keep an eye on him.
And then he said to me, I bet for qualifying, he takes his side mirrors and bends them in. And I said, you're right. I said, somebody's got to keep an eye on that guy because he's the sweetest dude in the world. And he's like, hi, Adam, how are you? But he said his brother and he works with his nephew, too. Oh, shit.
the Millen, I'll think of the guy's name, but he said, they're all tricky Aussies, and you better go, they come across real nice, but watch out when you get on the racetrack. And Tanner and Steve Millen were racing, and it was like two of the fastest guys you've ever seen going balls out.
And Steve was cutting across the course, like, I mean, not driving on 80 feet of dirt, but clipping the corners, like on an S- He was going straight and catching a lot of dirt and throwing a lot of shit up and just going balls out. Were you on the big track or small track? We're on the streets of Willow, the back track, but they opened the whole thing up. And it was pretty crazy.
Like Jimmy Vassar, who was a cart champion, we came down at the end of the straightaway. He just dipped inside. It was like three wide. These guys are taking people out. We haven't even started yet.
Did Danny give the speech about, listen, this is practice, don't want anybody banging the cars up?
No, he did kind of tell people to take it easy. You're out there, learn the track, learn to drive. But the pros are going nuts on each other. It's like trying to take a racehorse and tell them to not run. right right yeah can't can't help it so uh good times and uh the last three days that's where i was for eight hours a day and you have no idea how it takes it out of you it's just
Just that crazy belted in, helmet on, crazy adrenaline rush of going at it.

Chapter 5: What unique experiences does Adam Carolla share about Paris?
You walk down, you go literally under the city and see these skulls piled high. It's almost as cool as Pirates of the Caribbean. No, it's cooler because it's real. Oh, it's real. That's right. I can't keep forgetting it's real.
What did you say about France or Paris that this is what happens, I guess, when you just throw your hands up in the air when the Germans invade or something?
Because England's all brand new. It's true, because all the people that fought Germany got burned to the ground. They were like, they're like a FabergƩ egg, and Hitler's like a crazy, retarded five-year-old with a hammer. And they were like, no, no, no, no, no, listen. I will give you the egg. I don't want to fight you. I don't want to break the egg. Take the egg. Put the hammer down. Thank you.
Now, Chucky, take the egg, and we're cool. And then they figured, you know, later on, the Americans will get the egg back for him, but it'll be one piece. Whereas Britain was like, you're not taking our fucking egg.
Chapter 6: How does Adam compare the cultural differences between cities?
And then Germans started firebombing the egg. So now, whereas, you know, they got Big Ben over there and, you know, a lot of cool things, Buckingham Palace and all that kind of stuff. How come Big Ben? Like, that's got to be the biggest target in London. Yeah, but they're not going after clocks. They're going after ball-bearing factories. You're right. Jack off. Point is this.
I would definitely do the War Museum in England. The Imperial War Museum. The Imperial War Museum is really bitchin' over there. The Harrods, the department store, is kind of fun just because you can buy beer. What about the London Tower where you saw all the royal jewels? Yeah, London Tower was pretty cool. Diamonds the size of an ice cream, a scoop of ice cream.
Yeah, I mean, everyone will do that, try to talk you out of the common shit, but why not? If it's your first time, just do, you know, go see all the big stuff. I mean, it's like... You go to Paris, you go to the Eiffel Tower, it doesn't disappoint.
Chapter 7: What insights does Adam provide about parenting and family dynamics?
I will tell you this. The Eiffel Tower is scary. People don't tell you that. Because they don't want you to think they're a pussy. But I'm man enough to tell you I'm a pussy. The first time I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower is fucking scary. It's weird. It's like you're out in the open and you don't trust a 200-year-old elevator. So, you know, I would ā here's what I would do.
I would hit Paris. I would spend more time in Paris. I would take one of those boat rides that takes you around the city. I'd get myself ā Donnie and I went over there. We sat next to ā What cathedral were we next to? Where we had that liter of beer. We had like a liter. At like 10 in the morning. It was like 10 in the morning. We had like a half gallon of beer.
Chapter 8: What are Adam's thoughts on the impact of culture on education?
Sidewalk.
We just sat on a sidewalk, drank a half gallon of beer, staring at... It wasn't St. Patrick's. What the... I mean... Oh, it was Notre Dame. Yeah, sorry. It was the Notre Dame Cathedral. It's... That... Just go... Notre Dame is just... It's absolutely amazing. The architecture and all that shit. It's a... You know... Focus on Paris. The channel's a little bit long, but it's a cool ride.
You see a lot of English countryside and that kind of stuff. And there you have it.
Cool. We can see you making any movies or get one of those pilots that we keep hearing about on any network TV?
Yeah, I did a pilot for NBC, so maybe that'll be on in the fall. Let me have that to look forward to.
Absolutely. And then I will get off here. I appreciate you taking the call, but I got what can't Adam complain about? Sure. I don't think anyone on the planet could complain about northern Iowa knocking off Kansas.
Oh, talking a little NCAA ball. Well, I can because I spoke at Northern Iowa. I went to Northern Iowa and I went to DeKalb. And I had a casserole over there. It was like going back to a time machine. Me and Drew went over there. I hadn't had a casserole since I was nine. And they gave us a casserole. And it's a couple, I guess, what is Northern... Iowa. Is that a couple hours?
How far away from Chicago is that, do you know?
Well, it's closer to the Twin Cities, I think.
