  • Steph Tolev Is the Filth Queen + Michael Malice on the War of Words
    Jun 26 2025

    Comedian Steph Tolev joins Adam in the studio to discuss her new Netflix special Filth Queen, the mental toll of online trolls, and unhinged social media comments. They dive into the pressure comedians face over appearances, from nose jobs to iconic stand-up outfits. Steph talks about her podcast tour, a touching letter her dad received, and how her mother wanted her to run their highland dance studio. Plus, she and Adam rant about dumb commercial tropes, Adam pitches a new product idea, they vent about oddly spelled names, and weigh in on the viral clip of Theo Von allegedly shoving a fan.

    Later, author and commentator Michael Malice calls in to talk about his new book, Not Sick of Winning: A History of President Trump's First 100 Days, and the strange trend of liberal men crossing their legs “like women.” He and Adam dissect the manipulation of language in political discourse, revisit Trump’s controversial “China virus” comment, and engage in a thought experiment on the difference between builders and talkers. They also discuss what it would actually take to fix California—and whether New York’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is part of the problem or the solution.

    In the news, comedian Rudy Pavich stops by to break down some wild headlines. First up, The Simpsons shocks fans by killing off Marge in the Season 36 finale, prompting Adam to reflect on his voice work as Death on Family Guy. Then, they react to Florida’s controversial plan to detain migrants in a new Everglades facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—a low-cost, high-risk detention center surrounded by dangerous wildlife. Finally, they unpack the bizarre saga of disgraced influencer “Liver King,” who was arrested in Texas after posting unhinged videos and challenging Joe Rogan to a fight.

  • Stephen Baldwin and Adam Carolla love bad movies + Jeff Abraham—CEO of Absorption Pharmaceuticals
    Jun 25 2025

    In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Stephen Baldwin joins Adam for a wide-ranging conversation. They kick things off reminiscing about Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, poke fun at sibling rivalry among the Baldwin brothers, and discuss Stephen’s decision to leave politics. Adam shares his theory on Alec Baldwin’s intelligence, and they revisit Stephen’s win at the 1990 Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. The segment wraps with a look at Stephen’s upcoming podcast One Bad Movie, and a conversation about his daughter Hailey’s billion-dollar brand and her marriage to Justin Bieber.

    In the news, Elisha Krauss and Adam dive into a recent American Family Survey showing that liberal women are the least happy and most likely to experience loneliness compared to their conservative peers. Adam and Elisha break down the data and what it might say about modern values and lifestyle choices. They also react to Bill Maher’s surprising admission that he’s never truly been a Democrat, despite typically voting that way. Maher’s comments spark a discussion about political identity and the shifting landscape of both major parties.

    Finally, Jeff Abraham—CEO of Absorption Pharmaceuticals (maker of Promescent)—shares his remarkable journey: from building and selling a tech firm, walking away from a multimillion-dollar Hyundai deal upon learning it required discrimination, to stepping out of retirement to grow Promescent into a leader in sexual wellness following the tragic, mistaken-identity murder of its founder.

  • Grown Men on Bicycles are Ruining America + Comedian Nate Jackson
    Jun 24 2025

    In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Nate Jackson joins Adam in studio! They kick things off talking about Nate’s stand up shows at the iconic Wiltern Theater and dive into how different comics attract different kinds of crowds. Adam reflects on his own upbringing on food stamps and responds to an NPR piece about a mother relying on SNAP benefits as the program faces cuts. Nate shares the origin story of his stand-up career, which began on a dare to enter a comedy competition, and Adam questions whether UFC legend Jon Jones is truly retired. They wrap up with a classic Carolla rant about grown men who ride bicycles in the street.

    In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins Adam and Nate to break down some of the week’s wildest headlines: Margaret Cho slams Ellen DeGeneres in a brutal podcast interview, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department walks back a controversial post about Iran, and Telegram CEO Pavel Durov reveals he plans to leave his fortune to his 100+ children.

  • Jeff Leach Doesn’t Sit like a Chick + Brotha of Gaza Hostage Ilay David Calls In
    Jun 23 2025

    In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Jeff Leach joins Adam in studio to talk about his recent film Predator: Killer of Killers. They kick things off with a conversation about the film’s success and some laughs over raunchy In-N-Out bumper stickers. Adam also shares his take on why people with more refined tastes steer clear of gas station food, and recalls a major ad offer from Mountain Dew that he accepted after a long stint of publicly hating the drink. They then react to an insane video of Whoopi Goldberg stating that it is just as bad living in America as it is in Iran.

    In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller unpacks some shocking headlines, including the reported $10 billion sale of the Los Angeles Lakers, a $1 million court payout to a California teen who endured a brutal bullying campaign, and a chilling update from Ireland where nearly 800 babies are believed to be buried in a former home for unwed mothers. They close the segment with a laugh over a Texas judge scolding a man for wearing a “World’s Best Farter” T-shirt to court.

    Later, Ilay David calls in to share the heartbreaking story of his brother, who was taken hostage during the October 7th Nova Music Festival Massacre. He details the ongoing efforts to bring his brother home, the challenges involved, and how the Israel-Iran conflict—and shifting U.S. leadership—have impacted his family’s situation.

  • Jamie Lissow On the Left’s Obsession with Diversity + Raymond Arroyo on New Orleans & His Theater Roots
    Jun 19 2025

    In this episode, actor and comedian Jamie Lissow joins Adam in the studio for a wide-ranging conversation. They kick things off by listening to a new track from legendary Alaskan singer Don Hodiak (aka Mike Dawson), before Adam launches into a rant about the Left’s obsession with diversity—including the absurdity of pride flags on police and athlete uniforms. Adam also shares a hilariously brutal method for breaking someone’s psyche.

    In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to unpack a new study that names San Francisco the worst-run major city in the U.S., citing failures in financial stability, public safety, and infrastructure. They also highlight the remarkable journey of Messiah University’s baseball team, which prioritized faith and Bible study over traditional game strategy—a surprising move that propelled them all the way to the Division III World Series.

    Finally, Raymond Arroyo stops by to talk about his New Orleans roots, his theater background, and his memorable interview with Jerry Lewis. The conversation shifts to the brilliance of Mel Gibson, a nostalgic look at the classic Chrysler Cordoba “Corinthian Leather” ad, and a thoughtful comparison between classic and modern theater. Adam wraps things up by breaking down the stark differences between clean and dirty comedy.

    Get it on.
