I think our dinner with Howie Mandel is finally going to take place.
The long, gestating dinner with the wives?
Yes. You guys will never experience this anguish firsthand. But as a celebrity... When you get together with other celebrities, you always make promises to get the wives and you together and go to dinner at some point, but it never, ever happens. Why? Why? Why does it happen?
These are very busy men, Brian.
It doesn't... Usually, because one celebrity is above the other celebrity, I find probably doing America's Got Talent in this particular case... Poor Howie.
Someone's got to break it to him. Yes.

Chapter 2: What are the challenges of celebrity social gatherings?
I think you said you were excited about that. It was great.
Sherry O'Terry was there? Yeah.
She was crazy that night.
It was great because I was sitting between Meg Ryan and Helen Hunt, and Helen just sort of looked at me and said, Hey, Adam. And I said, oh, hey, Helen Hunt, who I've never met before and only seen on television. And she went, hey, I really enjoyed your movie. And I said, you saw my movie? Yeah. How did you see my movie?
I went to the movie theater with my boyfriend, and we saw it, and we loved it, The Hammer. We loved it very much. We thought it was great. And I was like, oh, my God, oh, my God. And then I turned to my right. I can't believe there's a picture up here. The internet's good that way. I know, I guess so.
I was like, holy shit, Helen Hunt went to the theater and saw The Hammer and then I turned to my right and Meg Ryan was sitting there and she said, and what do you do? And I said, all is right with the universe. I can breathe again. We're back. Yes, Meg Ryan had no idea what I did. But as it should be, right? Meg Ryan should not have any idea what I do, right? I'd be shocked if she did.
Well, you... I'm supporting it. It's a yes and, people. Yes and. But who else was there, Dan?
If Meg Ryan marries John Cougar Mellencamp, does she become Meg Ryan Mellencamp or Meg Ryan Cougar Mellencamp?
Wow. That's deep. The question is the plague man. Hey, Dixie Riddle Cup people, look out. There's a new sheriff in town. And his name is Dana Gould. Cosmic. Yeah. I think those days of writing clever things, for me, I went from the Dixie Riddle Cup to the bottle cap of the Lucky Lager. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

Chapter 3: How does Adam Carolla share his celebrity encounters?
Who else was there? Was like Charlotte Rae there? Oh, shit. Yeah, probably Charlotte Rae. Fucked her. Yeah, I know. Mrs. Garrett. She was at your party, right? Yes, she was. I don't know. Gary would have to dig really, really deep into the alternate to find out who was on this show. I think they used to just shove me and Dr. Drew on whatever.
They should just start a game show and just call it what it is. Sloppy seconds. Like celebrities you don't give a fuck about making an ass of themselves in the afternoon.
Yeah, yeah, right. But...
Who are you to pass judgment guy in his socks in house code at 1.45 p.m. on a fucking Thursday? Who's just cracked his third tall boy? You want to pass judgment on me and my fucking career? Yeah, all the commercials are for trade schools. Yes. Want to learn to work in a doctor's world but not actually be a doctor?
Yeah, yeah.
Would you like to learn to draw? We can get you your Class D long-haul trucker's license in as little as nine days. God rest his soul. Yeah, yeah, Wally Thorpe, School of Trucking, yeah. Well, it is something we talk about, which is a sad, sad testimonial.
which is when I used to stay home from school and watch commercials that were playing during the day for unemployable adults, it was learn to repair toasters and get certified and begin your lucrative career in toaster and toaster oven repair. There'd be learn to drive an 18-wheeler, learn to be a dental technician. It was all this learn to be Debbie Dootson. Debbie Dootson would tell you.
You want to know how you know Debbie Dootson knows about long-haul trucking? She could tell you. She's Debbie Dootson for the Dootson School of Trucking.
Dan, remember I told you about the decades-old references?

Chapter 4: What humorous insights does Adam provide on pissing stories?
Like that don't have a prescription. Sponsor. It's magnifying glasses in a frame.
Oh.
Right.
I watch Perry Mason on MeTV, so all the commercials are like, why not buy your coffin now so your family doesn't have to?
Everything's craftmatic adjustable. Everything's craftmatic adjustable. The elevator, stair, well, a lot of that.
The bathtub you walk into. I love the bathtub.
The bathtub with the barn doors on it.
I want that shit. That's what success looks like to me, by the way.
Tired of being lowered in your bathtub with a cherry picker? Well, now you can waltz in your bathtub. And all the products are named for things that the people buying them no longer have. Pride, serenity, assurance, continence. By the way, growing up, if there was one of those bathtubs with the suicide door on it, is there any possible way that somebody could get to double digits in bath?

Chapter 5: What incident caused a door to be blown off?
He literally tore a hole through the door.
Was it an Olympian or was it just a random guy?
He must have been because what average human being could do such a thing?
I think it was like a luge or toboggan guy.
You know what I mean?
Yeah. It was not ice dancing. It was one of the more manlier sports. And he just tore apart the door. That's what I'm saying.

Chapter 6: How does the conversation shift to personal anecdotes?
Sure, too. Yeah.
As a former carpenter, that's a pretty shoddy door.
Yeah, what? Well, that's called a hollow corridor. It's not a solid corridor, and that's just a bunch of honeycombed cardboard that's inside. Still, as the first person that walked up on the bathroom with the door blown off, you're like, whew, someone ate Mexican. Easy, Chad. What was it? Navy beans and pinto beans and Pepsi? What did this?
What's the culprit here?
Yeah, you can hold some borscht.
Like what went on here?
Yeah, I just I think that was more. He probably could have worked it out, but I think he probably just got angry at the door.
One of my favorite things is because in order to do the music with these guys, they have to come up and hang with me at the mountain. It's the only way it's going to get done. We're writing the album. After I've been writing for three hours, we come down, and then the music starts.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of transitioning from sports to music?
And these guys, Davis grew up in Van Nuys, but you put them in the mountains, and he's just like... I mean, he had to get cigarettes one day, and that was probably...
It was sort of a snowstorm, and I had to walk a mile to the next 7-Eleven.
But they're bundled up like they're touring Alaska.
Poor Davis grew up in Van Nuys. I know. City boy. I grew up in North Hollywood, so I feel your pain.
The good part.
My dad's first house after they got divorced was on Laurel and Oxnard on Vantage Street. Bought it for $15,000. That's not the best area in the world.
No.
I mean, it's not Compton, but... No, but it's weird because you trade in the random gunfire of gangbangers for super boring architecture. It may not... Just as damaging? Well, psychologically, well, not everyone gets hit in a drive-by just because you grew up in Compton. What I'm saying is, like, it's devoid of culture or architecture or anything.
Like, everything is bad sponge stucco with aluminum sliding windows and a flat roof with rocks on it. It's just weird. Like, there's just no culture. When you go into, like...

Chapter 8: How do personal experiences shape artistic collaboration?
Formally, when you go like, oh, it's the south side of Chicago, it's a bad part of ā but at least the architecture is something from the turn of the century or something. North Hollywood is just shitty 7-Eleven, mini Van Nuys, just mini malls with zero.
And you park your yellow Harley there and it's just ā Yeah, man. There goes the neighborhood. So many yellow Harleys.
Now, where in Van Nuys did you grow up? It was like Sepulveda and ā
Van Owen or something. Just the asshole of Van Nuys. Actually, Van Nuys now, I guess, is Sherman Oaks, right? There isn't really a Van Nuys proper.
Well, at a certain point, North Hollywood decided to call themselves Valley Village. And Van Nuys decided to call themselves Sherman Oaks or something because they're tired of the stigma of the piece of shit that they created for themselves. Now, one good thing about Sepulveda and Van Owen is you're near Dr. Hogley-Wogley's Tyler, Texas barbecue. And that's all I can say. The rib joint.
That's right. That's the only good news about that entire place.
Silver lining. You're right next to... Barbecue sauce lining.
A good rib joint. Very good rib joint.
Is that still there?
