“Wanda Sykes, JB Smoove, Adam Carolla”
Adam Carolla in I Need Your Hands
Birchum quizzes a carpenter on his occupational expertise and this is coming from an Adam Carolla who used to be a carpenter.

Not only that, this just happens to be working on his motorcycle, for which, Adam also knows quite a lot about.
