Five-hour energy. Ignite your taste buds with a freezer pop classic.
Re-imagine 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. Five-hour energy shot to keep you going through the night. It's five-hour energy, right Dawson?

From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Carolla Show. Adam's guest today, Jiaoying Summers. Plus the news with Adam Yenser and now, Adam Carolla.

**Adam Carolla** (1:58)
Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the show.
You get it on now. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend, Jiaoying Summers. Friend, comedian, very funny standup. Back in studio, nine weeks ago, she had a baby.

**Jiaoying Summers** (2:13)
Yes, I had a baby and you had a star on the Walk of Fame, so yours is better. Even though I had a boy, but it didn't really matter.

**Adam Carolla** (2:20)
No, I'm with you because everybody shits out a kid, but only a certain select few get a star on the Walk of Fame.

**Jiaoying Summers** (2:26)
Exactly.

**Adam Carolla** (2:27)
Yeah, I'm with you. Now, did you give the kid, because you're Chinese, a name like Elon Musk would give their kid, like a number and a symbol or something, or is it just Matt?

**Jiaoying Summers** (2:38)
My baby, because my husband's a white man, but somehow he's not mixed. He's a white boy. He look white, blue eyes and light hair. The baby.
I call him, I can't pronounce it, Arthur.

**Adam Carolla** (2:50)
Arthur.

**Jiaoying Summers** (2:50)
I keep calling him Arthur. I can't say it, but he didn't have a crazy name yet.

**Adam Carolla** (2:55)
Listen, Arthur's good. I'll tell you why.
You want a name with variation potential. Now, let me explain. My name is Adam. It can only be Adam. There's not much variation or potential. If you're named Arthur, you can be Arthur, you can be Artie, you can be Art.
See, and it all depends what the relationship is. So like when Arthur becomes famous and becomes an actor, and then the other actor sitting around talking to him about him, they will always use the different name. So whenever blowhard actors are talking about Robert De Niro, they go, Bob, Bob's a good guy, right? Because they have their own name for him that you don't, because they're cool.

**Jiaoying Summers** (3:43)
You see what I'm saying?

**Adam Carolla** (3:44)
And Art, so Arthur will become Art if he's a famous actor, when actors are talking about him.

**Jiaoying Summers** (3:50)
That's exciting.

**Adam Carolla** (3:51)
Yeah, it's exciting potential.

**Jiaoying Summers** (3:53)
Yeah, I like that.

**Adam Carolla** (3:54)
And when things get official, like graduations or court summonses or something, it'll be like Arthur, and they'll give the full name. You see what I'm saying?

**Jiaoying Summers** (4:03)
Yeah.

**Adam Carolla** (4:04)
Middle name?

**Jiaoying Summers** (4:06)
I don't have... Leon, L-O-N-E, Leon.

**Adam Carolla** (4:10)
Leon.

**Jiaoying Summers** (4:10)
Sounds like my maiden name, Leon, but I think Leon is too Chinese for him. Leon is sounds like...

**Adam Carolla** (4:17)
Arthur Leon.

**Jiaoying Summers** (4:18)
Yeah.

**Adam Carolla** (4:19)
Leon's old school, must be, your husband must have a Leon in his family?

**Jiaoying Summers** (4:25)
Actually, it's my maiden name, Leon, L-I-A-N-G, but I don't want to be too chinky, you know?
I just want to sound like my name is, stuff is L, but it sounds like more Americanized. I want him to have an easier life. He don't need Leon in his life right now.

**Adam Carolla** (4:41)
A lot of recent trouble with the Chinese. I don't know if you're feeling the pinch out here, but lots of talk about China, and China ripping off our AI and our technology and all that kind of stuff.
