Leonarda Jonie on Cancel Culture, Anna Vocino on Clean Eating & the Fat Shaming Flight Fiasco

2 hours 10 minutes

Comedian Leonarda Jonie joins Adam for a raw and hilarious discussion about censorship, cancel culture, and how comedy has become a battleground for free speech. Leonarda opens up about getting canceled by fellow comedians and having venues pull out of her sold-out shows—only to find new, independent spaces and build an even more loyal fanbase. She shares how her views evolved through personal experience, including her recovery from a food addiction and the politicization of her 12-step support group. The conversation covers everything from comedy industry hypocrisy to cultural shifts in education, gender, and mental health—highlighting how Jonie went from progressive conformity to outspoken contrarian.

Anna Vocino brings her culinary expertise and health advocacy to the table, discussing her brand Eat Happy Kitchen and how she helps people eat clean without sacrificing flavor. She and Adam riff on microwave leftovers, reanimating steak the right way, and the pitfalls of modern nutrition misinformation. Anna talks about creating alternatives like low-carb chicken parm that actually taste great—and the mindset shift needed to eat well without falling into guilt or restriction. The segment blends humor and practicality, offering real tips for ditching diet dogma and enjoying food again.

In the news; Elon Musk shares a “mind-blowing” chart claiming that millions of noncitizens have received Social Security numbers under the Biden administration. They also cover the shocking post from Virginia Giuffre, a key accuser in the Prince Andrew/Jeffrey Epstein case, who claims she was given just days to live following a car crash with a school bus. The team weighs in on the viral story of a father arrested for leaving his kids at McDonald’s while attending a job interview. Finally, a plane passenger's viral complaint about being stuck between two overweight people opens a fiery discussion on fat shaming and personal accountability, with Leonarda Jonie unapologetically siding with the “fat shamer” and sharing her own experiences with weight and self-discipline.
