Five-hour energy, ignite your taste buds with a freezer pop classic.
Reimagine as a delicious firework freeze, five-hour energy shot. It's a great summer flavor that will remind you of your childhood with all the caffeine needed to be an adult.
I'd describe it as a citrusy lime and candy-like blue raspberry combination and as great as it tastes. It has no sugar. Amazing. It's super convenient, too. The small bottles fit right in your pocket. Do it very easily so you can always grab one for the road. When you're watching fireworks during the Fourth of July, enjoy a Firework Freeze 5-Hour Energy Shot to keep you going through the night. It's 5-Hour Energy, right Dawson?

From Carolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Carolla Show.
Adam's guest today, comedian Anthony Rodia. Bless the news with Elisha Krauss and now, Adam Carolla.

**Adam Carolla** (2:36)
Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. If choice is made, get it on.
If choice is made, get it on. Welcome back, Anthony Rodia. Anthony's very funny, stand up, and he's got to be funny because he's going to Australia and touring in Australia, which had to sound pretty weird when you were a kid, right?

**Anthony Rodia** (2:54)
Yeah, I mean, dude, I never even thought I'd be doing this full time. I started this for extra golf money. And, you know, I mean, to tour on the opposite side of the world, it's kind of, you know, I wouldn't say overwhelming, it's like, you know, shell shock. And then when I went there last year, you automatically think, oh my God, are they gonna understand me?
And, you know, then I learned they grew up on American TV, so they understood me a lot more than I understood them.

**Adam Carolla** (3:21)
That's interesting, yeah, they spoke our language. Anthony's also got a special coming out sometime in August, but I'm not sure where it's coming out. It's on your page, or is it a YouTube thing?

**Anthony Rodia** (3:33)
It'll be on Prime Video and it'll be on Tubi.

**Adam Carolla** (3:36)
Prime and Tubi.

**Anthony Rodia** (3:37)
It'll be early August, we'll be announcing it soon.

**Adam Carolla** (3:39)
Is it an hour, I mean, I guess we call 51 minute specials an hour long special, an hour and three minute long specials, an hour long special.

**Anthony Rodia** (3:48)
I think I went over an hour, I think it's like an hour and 14 minutes.

**Adam Carolla** (3:52)
You know, let me ask you this. I was thinking about specials and doing one, and I thought, you know, traditionally you go out and you do two shows and you wear the same shirt and you cherry pick the best stuff from that.
But I was sort of thinking, I don't know, how about one show where you just did everything and then you just picked the best stuff that worked on an hour and a half show?

**Anthony Rodia** (4:18)
I did one show and we didn't edit anything out.

**Adam Carolla** (4:20)
Oh really, just straight through it?

**Anthony Rodia** (4:22)
The first special I did, we did two shows, and it's a pain in the ass. Like I noticed that I had a solo cup on the stool that wasn't on there for the second show, and I had a stain on my shirt that I'm watching, I'm like, fuck, the stain was still there.
