**Adam Carolla** (1:23)
Good day, Paul Bryan.

**Alison Rosen** (1:24)
You look like you've been chowing box, man.

**Adam Carolla** (1:27)
I was, Gary, I forgot to tell you before the show, somebody tweeted me something on KTLA where the guy was making fun of me. That was me.
Oh, it was you. Well, no, a few people tweeted it to me.

**Alison Rosen** (1:39)
I believe I was the first.

**Adam Carolla** (1:41)
I'm gonna go with Bryan as being the first. I don't know.

**Alison Rosen** (1:44)
Because that's so Bryan to tweet you something as someone making fun of you.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:48)
He's not really so protected.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:50)
I will give you the reason.

**Bryan Bishop** (1:51)
No, it was fine with me.

**Adam Carolla** (1:52)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:52)
No, it was my friend, Rich Jamiro, who had done the story, who actually interviewed you as a college buddy of mine.
Yeah, I was roommates in the same room. Now, his wife and my wife were best friends in high school, so we have that connection there. But anyway, he did the story and there was some cross talk at the end of his segment. He has a tech segment syndicated. There's some cross talk at the other anchor who was like, why is Adam asking for my money? And they got into a debate. Rich is like, well, a lot of slumbers are doing. It's kind of a thing that people are doing.

**Adam Carolla** (2:19)
It was interesting. We'll find it for you. We'll whack it up or something. But god, I have so many thoughts. First off, pumped about Shark Nation. Secondly, Sharknado, sorry.
Secondly, it is sweeping the Shark Nation. Yes.
Some wild thoughts, a lot of range here. First, I just thought to myself when I was eating dinner tonight, I don't need zucchini. I don't need it anymore. I don't need it. I'm done.

**Bryan Bishop** (2:50)
I don't need it.

**Adam Carolla** (2:52)
Listen, look, don't give me the deep fried bullshit. You can fucking deep fry a golf ball. It's good. You know what I mean? Like, oh, you never had the zucchini when it's put in breadcrumbs and then they deep fry it and then you put it in the dipping sauce. If you cut off my son's finger, you rolled it in breadcrumbs, you deep fried it.
I would dip it in ranch and it would not be bad.

**Alison Rosen** (3:18)
No, it wouldn't. It's just a waste of my time.

**Adam Carolla** (3:19)
Obviously, there's a psychological element that would be difficult.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:22)
You get past it if the ranch is good enough.

**Adam Carolla** (3:23)
If it would be difficult. Well, obviously, for the first couple or at least eight or so, it would be weird, but eventually.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:30)
Would you nibble it like you would like a wing?

**Adam Carolla** (3:32)
Yeah, I'd work on it. Yeah.
I'm just saying, don't give me the fucking and don't even give me the soaked in olive oil overnight with the balsamic vinegar and the fresh ground pepper thinly sliced on the barbecue because it's basically a substrate. It's something that you attach good tasting stuff to, but it's not really good on its own. It's not even up. Cucumbers mock zucchini in the flavor department. And then people do this. Well, what about the zucchini? You ever had zucchini? Someone tweeted, what about zucchini chocolate cake? It's like that's chocolate cake.
