On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, former mobster Sammy “The Bull” Gravano joins Adam in the studio! Adam kicks things off by asking Sammy if the Mafia still exists in any real form today, prompting Sammy to share wild stories from his past—including what justified a "hit," details on infamous figures like “The Iceman,” and even the grisly realities of body disposal. They also dig into modern court cases like the Diddy trial, failed socialist states like Cuba, and the collapse of leadership in places like California. Sammy shares insight on political bribery, claiming Democrats were easier to bribe than Republicans, and he reflects on the importance of the Mafia “code.”

Fitness expert Vinnie Tortorich drops in to discuss today’s modern health trends and their effectiveness. Adam shares his “safe spaces and octagons” theory, and Vinnie opens up about his experiences at Mount Whitney and extreme endurance events. They explore the truth behind infrared saunas and hyperbaric chambers, and Vinnie gives his hot takes on popular diet myths—debunking the health claims behind sourdough bread and brown rice, while promoting magnesium, creatine, and olive oil.

In the news with Jason “Mayhem” Miller, the guys react to a viral airplane meltdown, where an entitled lawyer attempted to cut the deboarding line, sparking chaos and chants of “Karen!” from other passengers. The confrontation—complete with shouting, a crying baby, and social media backlash—leads to a broader conversation about travel etiquette and why patience is in short supply. 

Get it on.
