Summary
On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Darren Carter, “The Party Starter,” joins Adam in the studio! They kick things off with the challenges of doing clean stand-up comedy in Los Angeles before shifting to the rise in street brawls and society’s fading respect for consequences. Adam keeps Darren on his toes with some tricky “would you rather” hypotheticals about controversial jobs, then pivots to California’s bizarre bait car laws. The two also take aim at a head-scratching Kia EV commercial showing a couple dining in Las Vegas and then magically driving to an empty Los Angeles beach the next day. Adam closes the segment with his take on the tragic story of an illegal immigrant truck driver whose reckless turn led to a deadly crash.
Jason “Mayhem” Miller drops in with the latest headlines, starting with former LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley’s legal claim against the city of Los Angeles, where she accuses Mayor Karen Bass of orchestrating a campaign of misinformation and retaliation following the deadly Palisades wildfire. They also cover the remarks from Bed Bath & Beyond executive chairman Marcus Lemonis, who made waves by refusing to reopen stores in California, citing high costs and stifling regulations that he says make doing business in the state nearly impossible.
Get it on.
