In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Elisha Krauss and Adam react to the passing of Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson and the bizarre beach laws still on the books in California. Adam also responds to a viral video of a crane flying into a Bengal tiger enclosure at a Chinese zoo, and the jailing of a Brazilian comedian over “bigoted” jokes made during a 2022 performance. To wrap things up, Adam and Elisha discuss Donald Trump’s endorsement of arresting California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Later, Adam is joined in the studio by legendary writer and filmmaker David Mamet. They dive into a wide-ranging conversation covering Mamet’s political evolution, including how his views have led to professional blacklisting and why he believes the modern Left is out of touch with everyday Americans. The two discuss the dangers of blindly towing the party line, the Left’s history of misogyny, and the absurd ideological leaps seen in figures like Greta Thunberg. Mamet also shares his thoughts on timeless lessons from the Bible—even for atheists—and talks about his new film Henry Johnson and working with Shia LaBeouf. Get it on.
