Comedian, actor and author are just a few of the many labels that Adam Carolla has under his belt.

Carolla recently stopped by the Howard Stern SiriusXM radio show to chat about all of the many tasks he's a part of including the Paul Newman documentary, "Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman."

Stern made a very relevant joke about Carolla taking on a ton of jobs "like a Jamaican guy," to start out the interview.

Carolla has his hands in many different projects but both he and Stern dove into "Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman" early on in the interview.

Carolla owns and races some of Newman's cars according to the MarksFriggin rundown of the interview.

"Howard said that Paul Newman was a great actor but it was important for him to be a champion in racing," according to the rundown.

"Howard said Adam isn't built that way. Howard said Adam can do 20 things 'okay.' Adam said that's right.

He said that Paul focused on driving for 3 months of the year.

Howard said Paul could have made 3 movies a year but he was so obsessed that he gave up a lot of his film career. Adam said the sport is dangerous too."

Thanks for the new hat @jokoy

Carolla said that one of the most crazy things about Newman racing was that it was for charity.

The documentary took about a year according to Carolla and to get a bit more insight on Newman, he interviewed his brother and Robert Redford.

Carolla also does his podcasts and told Stern that he "banked a couple" because he was doing the Stern show.

Carolla complained about people tweeting him about it all the time and how they "should just shut up about it." He later on discussed his friendship with Kevin Costner and his TV show, Catch a Contractor.
