'I'm Not Going to Make Out With Anybody'

Before he arrived this morning at the Adam Carolla radio show in Los Angeles, Phil Angelides stood in the hallway outside the broadcast booth and listened while a 72-year-old woman named Sarah made out with a 20-year-old man trying to get tickets to the Playboy Mansion Halloween party by doing something humiliating.

The elderly woman, who described her private parts as "Sleepy Hollow," insisted there would be no tongue involved when she kissed the young man. Their make-out session lasted a few seconds.

This was the opening act to Angelides' 30-minute interview with Carolla, whose show runs nationally and has a big audience among the people Angelides has been struggling to attract: young males. If Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger got a boost from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Angelides was attempting the same thing with Carolla's popular show.

"I want to say, I'm not going to make out with anybody," Angelides said right after sitting down.

Carolla — whose show airs in Los Angeles, Fresno, Sacramento and San Diego, and elsewhere in the country — tried to steer the conversation to a discussion about education, but Angelides kept going back to Sarah: "It's taking me a couple of minutes here to adjust from Sarah and the necking, and right into education."

"You gotta be nimble," Carolla said.

Angelides brought along his daughter, Megan, who received a hearty leering while, if I am not mistaken, someone suggested smearing mayonnaise on her.

Angelides objected to that, saying he would fight Carolla. But Angelides also made a pitch for some Playboy Mansion tickets for a staff member. "I want to be very clear, they are not for me," Angelides said. "A year and a half on the road with me, he's jumping up and down."

Angelides said he would not help Carolla build a monorail to Las Vegas, but seemed to agree with Carolla when he described Schwarzenegger as a "robot" and "a bit of sociopath when I heard him on 'Monday Night Football' talking about how great the Raiders were."

"Schwarzenegger is as little bit of a blowhard," Carolla said.

"A little bit?" Angelides said. "He's the Santa Ana winds of blowhards."

Angelides said that if he had to do it over again, he would have told Schwarzenegger at the Cal State Sacramento debate that the funniest thing in the campaign was debating "a guy whose hair looked like it was dipped in Tang."
