Revisit the mega-viral 2013 episode of The Adam Carolla Show, where then Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom sat down with Adam for a no-holds-barred conversation on California’s biggest problem - homelessness, traffic gridlock, wasted energy, and more. Gavin laid out what he claimed were his plans to fix the state’s mounting issues, but more than a decade later, did he deliver on those promises? Has California turned a corner, or has it spiraled even further downhill on every front?

Adam kicks things off by sharing his excitement for the upcoming Rolex Historics at Monterey’s Laguna Seca before chatting about his plans to spend time aboard Rick Caruso’s massive superyacht. He then reacts to Stephen A. Smith’s explanation of why Pete Buttigieg is polling at 0% among black voters despite leading the 2028 Democratic primary race overall, and weighs in on Denver’s bid to host the Gay Games. Then, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller dive into trending headlines, from Emma Raducanu wanting a crying baby removed during a tense 23-minute game, to Jannik Sinner’s Wimbledon serve being interrupted by a rogue champagne cork, to Los Angeles officials cracking down on dangerous street takeover meet-ups with tougher penalties and possible jail time.

Then, renowned attorney and author Alan Dershowitz calls in! Adam opens by asking about the importance of political balance in American governance before shifting focus to the growing challenges of living in California. Alan connects the homelessness crisis in major cities to policy decisions dating back to Ronald Reagan, while Adam voices concern over the increasing trend of corporations and publications blacklisting people for their political views. They also touch on the controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein—including Alan’s own legal entanglements, Trump’s alleged involvement, and the mystery of Epstein’s wealth—before Alan shares his candid thoughts on the Democratic Party and the Obamas.

Lastly, Adam recaps his recent fire vlog where he interviews Rick Caruso about how he successfully protected his properties during the Southern California wildfires. Adam and Jason Mayhem Miller discuss the value of trade work, with Adam arguing that college isn't always the best—or only—path to a successful career. They also point out Caltrans work trucks they always see on the freeway and imagine the nightmare of crashing into one. Finally, Adam vents his frustration over a Los Angeles tunnel being tagged with graffiti less than a day after it was repainted, using it as a jumping-off point to rant about modern parenting and the need to teach kids common sense.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off with a rant about his recent trip to the car wash, where a worker left tape stuck to his rear window wiper. He then shares stories from his time in San Diego, including a bizarre run-in with a crazy homeless guy. This leads to a deeper conversation about Los Angeles’s homelessness crisis and an old hit piece on Dr. Drew, written when he volunteered to join the L.A. Homeless Services Authority. The article, headlined “Dr. Drew eyed for homeless commission, angering advocates who wonder: Is this a joke?”, becomes a jumping-off point for Adam to break down the politics and media spin surrounding the situation.

Later, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins the show to discuss the latest headlines, starting with the dramatic moment NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch was rushed to the hospital after a post-race celebration went wrong. The 19-year-old had just scored a major win at Watkins Glen when he fell from the roof of his car, knocking himself out in front of the crowd. They also cover the backlash to David Justice’s remarks about his ex-wife Halle Berry, where he claimed her lack of domestic habits played a role in their split—sparking a wave of online defense for Berry. Rounding out the segment, Adam and Mayhem react to news of Gina Carano settling her lawsuit with Disney and Lucasfilm, a case centered on her claim she was wrongfully fired from The Mandalorian for her political views, with speculation about what “future opportunities” with the studio might mean.

In the vlog, Adam welcomes businessman and philanthropist Rick Caruso for a candid conversation about L.A.’s future. Rick shares whether he’s considering another run for mayor, gives an inside look at his Palisades Rec Center renovation, and explains how he protected his own properties — and why a private fire department might be the smartest investment you can make.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, legendary comedian Carrot Top joins Adam in the studio! Adam kicks things off with an observation about how fans have viewed Carrot Top over the years, and the two react to a classic clip of Norm MacDonald on Conan. Carrot Top shares stories of being mistaken for other wild-haired entertainers like Gallagher, talks about how his comedic roots trace back to his father, and recalls the first time his dad saw him perform live. They dive into Carrot Top’s traditional family upbringing, his choice not to have kids, and the story behind his very first prop, which his NASA-engineer dad helped build.

Carrot Top explains why he’s baffled by moon landing deniers, prompting Adam to recount racing cars with astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The two swap hilarious Jay Leno stories—including one where Leno performed stand-up while still bleeding after he fell down a hill—and revisit Carrot Top’s 1995 appearance on The Tonight Show. They also reflect on today's outrage culture, including the backlash over Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad, and discuss how Carrot Top builds his props today. Wrapping things up, they react to a clip of Carrot Top and Gallagher on stage together and reflect on Gallagher’s passing—plus Adam shares the wild story of a screenplay he and Jimmy Kimmel once wrote called Kill Gallagher.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor Dean Cain stops by the studio! Dean shares stories from his unconventional upbringing in a Malibu trailer park with hippie parents and reflects on his early career in Hollywood—remarkably similar to Adam’s own path. The two dive into the decay of Los Angeles and California, questioning why residents pay the highest taxes and gas prices yet receive so little in return. Dean recounts advice from his director father to keep personal beliefs private—advice he proudly ignored—and they both critique DEI and other progressive movements, calling them deceptive and destructive. Dean discusses his commitment to preserving traditional values like family and education, and the two reflect on the media’s ongoing struggle with Donald Trump. They also talk about the rumored end of The Howard Stern Show, sparking memories of Adam and Jimmy Kimmel’s past appearances on it.

Elisha Krauss joins Adam and Dean to break down some of the day’s headlines. They react to a couple in Idaho charging guests nearly $1,000 for access to their wedding weekend—offering various ticket tiers in an effort to fund the celebration and avoid debt, ultimately donating over $130K in proceeds to charity. Then they turn to Massachusetts, where left-leaning Governor Maura Healey is shutting down the state’s migrant hotel shelter program after it ran nearly a billion dollars over budget. With critics, including her potential 2026 Republican challenger Mike Kennealy, saying "I told you so," the group dissects the policy failure and larger implications for state-run social programs.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Dusty Slay joins Adam in the studio to talk about his new comedy special Wet Heat, the grind of performing on the road, and the balance between speaking your truth and reading the room on stage. Their conversation takes a wild turn as they dive into the strange saga of The Beach Boys, from Brian Wilson’s mental health battles to their bizarre connection with Charles Manson. That segues into a morbidly funny discussion about burial methods, celebrities buried at sea—including Dennis Wilson—and a classic Crank Yankers prank call to a burial-at-sea business. They wrap up the segment admiring how rock guitarists coolly balance lit cigarettes on their fretboards mid-solo.

Then, Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins Adam and Dusty to break down some of the latest headlines, including a female police officer in Houston under investigation after vowing on social media to ticket "everyone" because she didn’t get any action the night before. They also discuss Conor McGregor’s surprising move to petition for a spot on Ireland’s presidential ballot and Jim Acosta’s controversial interview with an AI avatar of a Parkland shooting victim, which has drawn heavy criticism online for being exploitative and inappropriate.

Actress and comedian Kym Whitley stops by to chat about landing a role in Happy Gilmore 2 and what it was like working with Adam Sandler, whom she calls one of the nicest people in Hollywood. Kym and Adam dive into his reputation for bluntness, and she shares heartfelt memories and career advice she received from the legendary Redd Foxx. They also discuss how she scored a role on Curb Your Enthusiasm and reflect on the incredible real-life story where footage from the show helped exonerate a man falsely accused of murder.

Get it on.
