In this episode, actor and comedian Jamie Lissow joins Adam in the studio for a wide-ranging conversation. They kick things off by listening to a new track from legendary Alaskan singer Don Hodiak (aka Mike Dawson), before Adam launches into a rant about the Left’s obsession with diversity—including the absurdity of pride flags on police and athlete uniforms. Adam also shares a hilariously brutal method for breaking someone’s psyche.

In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to unpack a new study that names San Francisco the worst-run major city in the U.S., citing failures in financial stability, public safety, and infrastructure. They also highlight the remarkable journey of Messiah University’s baseball team, which prioritized faith and Bible study over traditional game strategy—a surprising move that propelled them all the way to the Division III World Series.

Finally, Raymond Arroyo stops by to talk about his New Orleans roots, his theater background, and his memorable interview with Jerry Lewis. The conversation shifts to the brilliance of Mel Gibson, a nostalgic look at the classic Chrysler Cordoba “Corinthian Leather” ad, and a thoughtful comparison between classic and modern theater. Adam wraps things up by breaking down the stark differences between clean and dirty comedy.

Get it on.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam sits down with former DEA agents Chris Feistl and Dave Mitchell to discuss the inner workings of the drug trade and border security. They break down the differences between the Trump and Biden administrations' handling of the U.S.-Mexico border, how cartels launder money, and why they thrive in South America but not in the U.S. The conversation also covers the brutal legacy of Pablo Escobar, the severity of the fentanyl crisis, and whether cartels should be classified as terrorist organizations. Plus, the agents share wild stories from their time in the field and identify the countries hit hardest by drug and human trafficking.

In the news, comedian Rudy Pavich joins Adam to unpack current headlines, starting with a revealing media study showing how often CNN and MSNBC referred to the violent riots in Los Angeles as “peaceful protests.” They also cover Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s controversial attempt to link political violence to partisan narratives following the targeted shooting of two Democratic lawmakers. Finally, the team reacts to Barbra Streisand’s bizarre public comments about her unclear sexual history with actor Warren Beatty.

Then, social media star Haliey Welch—better known as the “Hawk Tuah” girl—stops by the studio to talk about her sudden rise to fame. She reflects on the viral moment that launched her into the spotlight, how her family reacted, and the wave of brand offers that came pouring in. Hailey and Adam rewatch the video that started it all, share a laugh, and talk about her working-class upbringing. She also recounts meeting Shaquille O’Neal and appearing onstage at a Zach Bryan concert—all within days of becoming an internet sensation. Get it on.
