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.

Get it on.
