Summary

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.
