Q: All those experiences, Adam, all that exhilaration, lead to this. And then when it came time to talk to Paul from the I-80 Sports Blog, everyone else was like, “Oh my God!” But I was like, “Relax - I got this.”

But I took those experiences and I put them in my pocket. Well actually I got booted on the fourth episode. I did Dancing With The Stars, I was scared of that.

So, I’d done the professional Trans Am race ad I was scared to death. Q: What did you find on the other side, after the fear, past the exhilaration?Ī: You get to take that experience with you. And then I said yes, because it scared me to death. I can’t dance.” Then I thought wait a minute, I’m scared to death. I did Dancing With The Stars specifically because I couldn’t dance. I think about those experiences and you have to put yourself into that position. And when I got out of the car, I never felt better in my entire life – I couldn’t believe I was able to do that. I got to the track to race and I thought, “My God, what have I done? This is the worst idea I’ve ever had.” I ended up getting third place which got me up on the podium. I was driving a C7 Corvette with 850 HP, that I’d never driven before. I did a professional trans am race about a year ago at Willow Springs, one of the fastest tracks in the US. Put yourself in a situation that is exhilarating. It kind of sounds like that is what you are talking about.Ī: Yes. Q: The email I received prior to this interview noted the importance of every day exhilaration. You’re just destitute and poor, and you just skip rope all day. Q: It sounds like you’re telling me that if you don’t eat at all and work out intensely, with a high level of “edge” if you will, you will lose weight.Ī: Yes! I’m thinking of writing a very controversial diet book called “Stop Eating So Much And Start Skipping Rope And You Shall Lose Weight.” I call it the North Hollywood diet. And now I just sit around and they bring me food. But now, I st around all day and talk to schmucks - not you - journalists, I mean. So all I did was skip rope all day and I couldn’t eat. There’s a still of you jumping rope and you’re just ripped.Ī: Yeah, I used to be in good shape. Q: I was looking at the Castrol Edge video provided by Castrol Edge. And look at us, 25 years later almost, we’re living the dream. Because I was poor, and he was poor, and he wanted money so he could buy pizza ovens and big houses in the Hollywood Hills, and I wanted money so I could buy race cars. And at a certain point, we became friends. He wasn’t trying to be a professional boxer or anything.
#Jimmy the boxer how to
I trained him how to box for a morning radio stunt. Q: Is it true you trained Jimmy Kimmel how to box?Ī: Yes, I was Jimmy’s boxing coach. Then, they were looking for somebody who embodied their spirit and they said, “Hey Carolla – you like cars, you race cars…how about we get together and make a really cool video and out it on the Castrol YouTube page?” And so we did. A: I started a podcast many years ago and Castrol came aboard as a sponsor.
