Summary

In this episode, Adam kicks off the show with a surprisingly deep dive into the symbolism and social dynamics of sandwich-making, unpacking how something so simple says a lot about parenting, care, and culture. He then calls out Dr. Drew’s notoriously bad bedside manners and rants about people who constantly unload their health issues on him. Later, Adam takes aim at a bizarre Jardiance commercial, tearing into its absurd list of side effects.

In the news, Adam reacts to President Biden’s first comments after a recent cancer diagnosis and his attempt at humor regarding his mental competency. He questions whether Democrats prioritize gun control over illegal immigration, shares his thoughts on the recent Boulder, Colorado terror attack, and breaks down how mass immigration can influence culture.

Finally, Mission Impossible stuntman-turned-actor Stephen Oyoung joins Adam in the studio to talk about his journey into Hollywood, working alongside Tom Cruise, and the crazy world of action filmmaking. They also discuss Asian representation in media, Stephen’s SoCal upbringing, his love of martial arts, and how Loveline helped shape his early years. Get it on.
