They Call Me Baba Booey by Gary Dell'Abate, Chad Millman

From Barnes & Noble –

Gary Dell'Abate is not exactly a household name, except that is in the millions of households that tune in daily to The Howard Stern Show. Gary, or "Baby Booey" as he is commonly known, is the show's indefatigable producer, stoic scapegoat, and full-time comic relief. In this surprisingly revealing memoir, this affable butt speaks candidly about his Long Island childhood, his personal obsessions, and his strange encounters with fame and mock infamy. An entertaining, sometimes hilarious read for Howard Stern's many fervent fans.

In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks: . . . And Other Complaints from an Angry Middle-Aged White Guy by Adam Carolla

Amazon.com Review – Guest Reviewer: Seth MacFarlane

Seth MacFarlane is best known for creating the animated sitcoms Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show.

Reading In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks opened my eyes to three things: 1) Adam is a top-notch complainer, probably the best in the world, 2) America is in serious trouble, and 3) Adam is hilarious.

Adam uses this book to break down our societal shortcomings using the combination of logic and humor that he’s perfected. He made me glad that I never leave the house. Going out entails interacting with the general public, and the general public is dumb (no offense to those of you in the general public). And when I say dumb, I don’t mean the innocent kind of dumb like a dog that thinks his reflection is another dog. I mean the dangerous kind of dumb, like Lennie in Of Mice and Men—good-natured, mentally limited, and tremendously powerful. You leave your house one morning to get groceries, and you end up getting your neck accidentally broken by the guy giving you directions out of the parking lot.

In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks is less of a book, and more of a guide for how to be a better man and/or woman (mostly man). Buy this book. Don’t buy it because I told you to; buy it because it’s funny. Buy it if you think Phillips Head is an alt rock band or if you wear V-neck T-shirts. Definitely buy it if you call appetizers “tapas” or if “LOL” is anywhere in your vocabulary. Buy this book and study it.
