Comedian and fan favorite Adam Ray returns for a sharp, off-the-cuff conversation with Adam Carolla. They kick things off discussing how celebrities have become totally shameless about doing commercials and why no one seems to care anymore. Adam Ray then shares stories from his live Dr. Phil parody shows—including a standout performance at Dave Chappelle’s club in Ohio and reflects on what drives him as a performer and the importance of self-responsibility in comedy. The two Adams also trade stories about being attacked by cats, and Carolla recalls catching the very first Dr. Phil show at The Laugh Factory.
The conversation takes its usual unpredictable turns, covering everything from creating your own luck to Adam Ray’s new character Jeremy, and why it’s a good thing that the so-called "rules" in comedy have disappeared. They also riff on failed TV catchphrases, Carolla building a sandbox for Jimmy Kimmel’s kids, Adam Ray’s obsession with videos of above-ground pools being destroyed, Carolla’s love of microwaves, and a truly ridiculous hotel incident involving Adam Ray and a can of Beefaroni.
Later in the show, Ja Rule joins the guys to talk about his upcoming "Where the Party At" tour and his new whiskey brand, Amber & Opal. The conversation hits on Ja's early start in hip hop, how much his music influenced Adam Ray’s childhood, and what it was like being a chart-topping artist during the peak of MTV and TRL. Ja Rule shares his take on the new era of independent artists making it big without gatekeepers and discusses the difference between closing a show for the audience versus for yourself. The guys also sample Ja Rule’s whiskey, dive into tour life on a bus versus flying, and get his honest thoughts on the legacy of the infamous Fyre Festival.
To close out the episode, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins for the day’s top news stories, including a mass jail escape, a wild coyote attack, Trump reportedly suing Beyoncé and other celebrities for accepting money to endorse Kamala Harris, and a new study revealing that 75 percent of store-brand sunscreens aren’t effective. Get it on.

Adam kicks off the show by reminiscing about his co-starring role in Wreck-It Ralph and the surprising reaction it still gets from fans. He then unveils yet another classic Al Pacino scene, this time with Jay Mohr putting his own spin on the character—proving once again that Pacino impressions never get old. From there, Adam riffs on coaster weight, the gnarly side effects of Niacin, Biden’s cancer diagnosis, the sheer brilliance of pit crews, and the fine line between first and last place—not just in racing, but in life.
Next, Jay Chandrasekhar joins the show and dives into:
Jay and Adam also break down the realities of directing low-budget movies vs. TV shows, and Jay introduces his new app, VouchVault, which he swears will revolutionize review sites and help him finally get revenge on Rotten Tomatoes. They wrap up their chat by agreeing that seeing Phish live is overrated, and Jay shares his comedic influences: John Landis, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor. Naturally, both Jay and Adam declare Spinal Tap the greatest comedy of all time.
Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins the show and kicks off the news with a must-see clip of Adam singing "Big Bottoms" with John Popper. From there, the trio dives into the top stories of the day, including:

Adam kicks off the show by giving a heartfelt shoutout to a fan in Florida who shared
how Adam's comedy helped her through the loss of her husband. This sparks a
conversation about the weirdness of accepting love from fans, the secret to Tom
Cruise's action star dominance (it's all in the grip, baby), and the absurdity of
Aspercreme's dad-drumming commercial. They also break down the performative
confidence of Jasmine Crockett and Gavin Newsom.
Comedian Monique Marvez then steps into the studio and she and Adam dive into the
idea of coaching guys up (some can be fixed, some are just broken), her time at KFI
Radio, and a few choice stories about Mike August at the Montreal Comedy Festival.
Monique schools us on her two-point takedown, opens up about her relationship with
her father, and shares the life lessons her parents left her with. Adam jumps in with his
theory that difficult people don’t know they’re difficult (and wouldn’t change if they did).
The conversation gets personal when Monique reflects on her journey with marriage
and kids, while Adam muses about why mama’s boys make the worst business partners
(too much nurturing, not enough grit).
News with Mayhem covers the day's top stories, including: Baristas protesting
Starbucks' new dress code and Bruce Springsteen ranting about Trump.
To wrap things up, Monique and Adam bond over their mutual hatred for "tagging" which sends Adam spiraling into a story from his past about graffiti, a guy named EGGBERT, and a little something called frontier justice. Get it on!

Comedian Jiaoying Summers joins Adam for a wild ride through today's most outrageous headlines. They kick things off with the shocking new allegations from the Diddy trial, claiming Diddy forced Cassie to engage in acts with male prostitutes. The conversation takes a bizarre turn as they discuss Lyoto Machida and the supposed health benefits of drinking your own urine.
Adam then shares a surreal AI video of himself jump roping, using it as a springboard to critique a questionable deodorant commercial that he believes symbolizes the decay of American society. From there, Adam pitches his outrageous idea for a certified gay gynecologist, claiming it would solve a host of ethical issues in that field.
The laughs continue as Adam riffs on the Al Pacino classic "Cruising," recreating an improv scene from the BEAT IT OUT PODCAST with Jay Mohr—where Jay channels his inner Pacino and Adam takes on the role of Powers Boothe.
News with Mayhem: Schwarzenegger’s son shedding some serious weight, Gavin Newsom's new “plan” to end homelessness, Meghan Markle making headlines again and the internet being divided over a woman bringing a full rotisserie chicken onto an airplane.
The show wraps up with Morgan Langley, the producer of the legendary TV series COPS. Morgan and Adam dig into the show's journey from being canceled to making a comeback, the role of media in public perception, how cowardice perpetuates misinformation, and why the mainstream media’s Ponzi scheme might finally be unraveling. Get it on!

Comedian Dustin Ybarra joins Adam in the studio for a wild ride of laughs and unexpected topics. They kick things off with a hilarious discussion about "D**-Joke Island," the challenge of writing clean jokes, and a deep dive into bands like ABBA, performing at the Sphere, and the concept of hologram bands vs. cover bands. The conversation takes a turn to women fighting, fast-food brawls, and the blue-collar mindset before Dustin opens up about his Jehovah’s Witness upbringing and his viral metal detector videos. Adam then shares a video of a long arm extractor in Malibu, sparking a virtual tour of Malibu lots for sale.
In the news segment, Mayhem breaks down the top stories of the day, including: Trump being gifted a plane from Qatar, French President Emmanuel Macron seemingly hiding something in a candid video, an Amazon delivery driver caught on a Ring camera in a less-than-ideal situation and the astonishing story of a slaying victim forgiving his attacker through AI technology.

Comedian and friend of the pod Erica Rhodes drops by the studio. They talk about what goods or services people like Brad Williams should pay more or less for, anime commercials for pharma products, and wonder who’s really taking more drugs for mental health in America—men or women.
Adam, Jason “Mayhem” Miller, and Erica then break down today’s headlines, including statues of black women, Frontier Airlines firing employees after they harass passengers, and Democrats slamming Trump’s baby bonus.
To wrap up, Craig Rothfeld hops on Zoom to share his wild ride from faking financial statements and getting indicted, to prison and now working as a prison consultant. He chats about how it’s shaped his view on justice, tossing in some thoughts on Bill Cosby and, while he can’t go there legally, Harvey Weinstein. Get it on.

Gary shares stories about joining the Navy, and how he managed to serve while simultaneously hosting a TV show.
Later, Adam, Gary, and Jason “Mayhem” Miller tackle some of the day's top news stories, covering everything from Catholic priests and Alcatraz to Smokey Robinson. The conversation wraps up with talk about Boba and Poke, Richard Dreyfuss’ grandfather, and the film The Rock. Get it on.
