It's your sandwich zipline apparently.

**Adam Carolla** (3:30)
Let me give you Sonny's impression of yesterday after the podcast. I put him on the zipline and I just went like, let's just go on the zipline. We don't have to go from the top. We'll just go from the whatever. And he went close to the top and went down a time or two and then found him crying in his room moments later.

Salutations to you, Adam Carolla.

**Adam Carolla** (4:21)
What would freak me the fuck out is when Jimmy would bring his son over here, when his son was like 10 or 11 and he'd be walking around the back of the shop, and he'd like step over a go-kart and just keep walking. And if I picture myself at age nine or 10 with a minibike, a go-kart, something, a fucking football with no threads, I don't give a shit. I would have just been like, what is this? Whose is this? Does it run? Does it run? Can we start it up? Can we go for it? Like whatever it was. I learned to ride a unicycle because my dad was fucking a chick on the west side and her son had a unicycle, but he was gone and my dad was just with this, hanging out with this chick all day. And I was bored as shit and I just got his unicycle and I just went out in the street and I hung on to a Buick fender and I just kept going and going and going until I learned to ride the unicycle. There's no way I was going to walk past. I discovered a unicycle in a guy's house. It had a wheel.
