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.

Comedian Sam Tripoli returns to the show to discuss media manipulation, deep-state narratives, and personal misadventures. Sam breaks down how the Tesla protests are proof of media programming, as they mostly consist of older progressives who are still glued to CNN and MSNBC, blindly following narratives pushed by corporate media. They also discuss defensive driving, with Adam ranting about how slow, overly cautious drivers cause more traffic than speeders and how race car training has made him completely comfortable weaving through lanes at high speeds. Adam reveals that his middle name is “Lakers”, leading to a discussion on parents' questionable naming decisions. The crew also touches on pop star Chappell Roan and her recent “Call Her Daddy” podcast appearance. In the news, a New Jersey police chief is facing shocking allegations, accused of stabbing a subordinate with a hypodermic needle, pooping on the floor, and spiking the office coffee with Adderall and Viagra. Meanwhile, California’s high-speed rail project faces a $7 billion funding crisis, with lawmakers scrambling to secure the money before the summer of 2026. And in a viral video, a repo man in Tennessee gets his head run over by a desperate driver trying to escape a tow.
