Summary
Rob Riggle joins Adam Carolla to talk standing up to bullies, hitting open mics in New York, and building resilience through the Marines. They discuss discipline, lessons from fathers and coaches, and why stand-up doesn’t need Hollywood to succeed. Rob shares what it felt like to finally get “the call” and Adam reflects on climbing vs. maintaining a career; including his chaotic Loveline audition story. Packed with hilarious and brutal honesty, Rob’s new book, Grit, Spit, and Never Quit: A Marine's Guide to Comedy and Life, dives even deeper into fear, failure, discipline, and never giving up.
