Chapter 2: What are the best moments from The Adam Carolla Show?
It's unreal. Yeah, because if you just woke me up in the middle of the night and you went, give me an example of new rock, I'd be like, Nirvana, smashing dumplings. Stone Temple guys.
Stone Temple guys. But see, I wonder what Natalia thinks of Nirvana. Like if you were to play them for her, would that sound like grandpa rock to her?
I don't know, but she did piss me off when I was... I think Maneater or another Hall & Oates song came on, and she announced to the heavens that it was one of her favorite songs. But she's doing it just to fuck with me. She was raised right. Yeah. Now, here's my thing with Hall & Oates. Like the guys, like some of their songs, but to me... Look, O.J.
was a great NFL player, but then he cut someone's head off, and now we feel differently about him.
So Maneater would be equivalent to that murder?
No, Maneater has caused far more pain. That's just two lives that didn't directly impact me. Maneater has spread a way bigger net.
It's like if O.J. drove his white Bronco up onto the off-ramp and took out the people cheering him on after he killed the two people.
Even that, I wouldn't mind if those people were gone because imagine those people have had kids by now and have been in and out of the joint and rehab.
At least Manny, there's an off-white Bronco.

Chapter 3: How do the guests feel about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
His bark is worse than his bite.
If you push him too far, he just might... Because he may look like a sort of safe family guy, but there is... sexuality in danger there. Yeah.
That's the message. Yeah. They wrote great zero entendre songs. Man eater. Ugh.
There's the one. When I had a TV show called Musicians on Bravo, they were one of my first guests because I love them. And when we did the set list, they said, we're doing Maneater. And I didn't want to say, no, you don't have to do Maneater. But they did do, on the other hand, Fair Time. I think She's Gone is maybe one of the best songs ever written.
Good. There you go. That's O.J. winning the Heisman.
Yes. Easy. They get in the Hall of Fame.
No, but we count. We still count. There's a body count here. My ears. It's Manny. It's adult. I got to hear some adult education now. Love this one. Look. Produced by Nile Rodgers. Adult. Adult.
Adult.
We can't tell what year this is from or decade, can we? You are so white in your taste.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the secondhand smoke discussion?
And there's this great thing where he said somebody after he got out of Bob Sharp's car, somebody said, wasn't that Paul Newman? And Bob Sharp said it was Paul something or other. I don't remember.
That's funny. That was the first time I got to look at that. I don't think any of us had. It was really good.
Give it a B plus.
Was that hard to get some of the older footage?
Yeah.
No, the thing that's weird about the Newman doc is I had people ā there's like underground geek videos that if you have some of his cars or you're into Bob Sharp racing or whatever that is, people will feed them to you. And so I've been aware of them for a long time. And I remember seeing that thing of him going, you know, the Academy Awards, they vote. It's him or her, but it's this.
They don't vote. It's whoever crosses the line first. And I thought ā Man, yeah. And then I thought, that's the opening. That should be the opening of the documentary. But I saw so much footage of him. And then every time I would talk to somebody about it, they'd go, what? Salad dressing? What? And I'd be like, no, no, it was really in a car racing. And like, oh, like the celebrity circuit?
And I'd be like, first off, there is no celebrity circuit. I wouldn't be here right now. And secondly, no, he raced professionally. He had sponsors and he raced. That's all. He got out of the car when he was 83 and then he died six months later. He raced the last 35 years of his life nonstop.
He was also such a handsome leading man that maybe I'm wrong, but my impression was it was in later performances where he really like absence of malice. To me, not absence of malice, the verdict to me is the greatest performance he ever gave. And, you know, that was late in the career.

Chapter 5: What unconventional hygiene practices are discussed?
You know what I'm saying?
Keep the spark going. Keep the spark alive.
Wait, you don't regularly use soap down there?
Not regularly. Hot water will suffice. I don't... See, here's why I know we don't need soap. Oh, there it is. First off, if I have a bottle of shampoo, it will last me 11 years. Number one. Number two... There's no way ā I always say this. It would be a horrible and cruel joke to all who came before us who did not have the Pantene option.
And I know the whole shampoo, conditioner, strip away the stuff, put it back. I know your hair does not benefit from this.
How do you feel about the fact that Adam does not use soap to wash his balls?
I don't know if you really need soap to wash the balls. Just answer the question.
I don't think you really need to.
Thank you.

Chapter 6: How does the rise of the metrosexual influence men's grooming?
Look, I think every now and then, yes, if you've been a little sweaty or if you've worked out or something, sure. But I think there is ā I mean when I was living through the era of the rise of the metrosexual, when I was writing about Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, That's really when it started to come into play where men needed all of these creams.
He's the anti-Carolla with all the creams and the mask and the peel.
And it was kind of the ā what you call the dandyfication of American men. And they started to ā
believe in it they believe that it made them look better it made it made them believe they were more attractive to women and in reality it was just a huge money making kind of scheme I mean it was that's what it was but it's still in the culture I mean it's still as men believe this here's my feeling which is lip balm chapstick whatever and hand cream only means you need more of it it just creates a necessity for it
Once you start getting on the hand moisturizer, you're on. Once you get on the chapstick, you're on the chapstick. We're not designed to require chapstick, especially because we're not spending hours. My entire face feels very conspicuous right now. Well, you're not spending hours. It's one thing if you're doing for an aesthetic appeal. Women do this. But for guys, even if you're spending ā
hours tilling soil in the fields we're still not designed to need that that's all i'm saying but i still think there's a kind of comfort level that you do need i have dry skin i have combination skin with an oily t-shirt i need i do need moisturizer and it does lessen that kind of like tight there it goes yes it could be i want that music to follow me around for the next week wherever i go um
So I do believe in that and I do ā there's like some good basic moisturizers that I think you should use. But otherwise I think it is overboard and I think the hand sanitation thing is incredibly annoying. You see it everywhere when you go to the market. There's a little ā Yes, it is all over the place.
If you're that much of a germaphobe, I just don't know how you're going to make it through the rest of society, the rest of your life. Agreed. All right. What's next?
Well, here's a story that involves our guest at the San Diego show, the one who will be topless. Miley Cyrus tweeted a photo of herself, and she said, Merry Christmas. Thank you, New York, for being one of the few states to free the nipple. And she is showing her chest, but there's two hearts over there.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Miley Cyrus's public persona?
I'm working on a doc called Back the Sack.
Oh.
It's where I feel like I want to walk out with just one ball.
I was going to say.
Just hanging out. You have opportunities. Ladies, if you can show your nipples. We're on VPN. I feel like I'm just a little sack. You should live in my neighborhood, West Hollywood. Really?
No problemo.
A lot of guys willing to back the sack. A lot of guys walk their dogs naked where I live. Really? Really? Oh, it's warm. Late at night. Late at night.
Like totally naked?

Chapter 8: How does the episode address societal expectations and personal identity?
Totally naked. No, of course, not totally naked, but very skimpily clothed. Very little covered. Much left to the imagination.
Just a hint of clothing.
I like Miley Cyrus now. Although not attracted to her. Don't find her attractive. Are guys attracted to her? I think so. I think she's generally attractive. I think she's...
Do you want to snap off a piece of that, Brian?
I think there's a difference between attractive and sexy. I think she has like a vibe to her that is kind of maybe sexy or sexual. But I don't think you would call her traditionally attractive. I don't think she could be a model.
I mean, look, how many she could. I don't know.
I mean, when you have like 100 million hits on a video like Wrecking Ball. in a week, I think a lot of men are watching that because they find that... She's over 18, right? She's 20. She's 20. And Terry Richardson, who directed the video, is our age. He's a bit of a perv. Likes them young. And he shot that for maximum impact, more or less. And I think it worked in terms of the response it got.
So I don't know. I think a lot of guys do find Miley sexy. I think she's... I feel like she must be under a lot of pressure sexually. You know what I mean? She can't mail it in in the sack. Oh, I see. You know what I mean? She'll rise that wrecking ball, for God's sake.
Like, if you got together with Miley and she just sort of mailed it in, you'd be really disappointed and you'd hit the Twitter and the social media pretty quick. I feel like she's got to be dynamite in the sack. Well, she was with Liam Hemsworth for four years. I don't know. He's a pretty big catch. There must be a reason. That's long term for people in their 20s. Four years. Four years?
