Comedian and fan favorite Adam Ray returns for a sharp, off-the-cuff conversation with Adam Carolla. They kick things off discussing how celebrities have become totally shameless about doing commercials and why no one seems to care anymore. Adam Ray then shares stories from his live Dr. Phil parody shows—including a standout performance at Dave Chappelle’s club in Ohio and reflects on what drives him as a performer and the importance of self-responsibility in comedy. The two Adams also trade stories about being attacked by cats, and Carolla recalls catching the very first Dr. Phil show at The Laugh Factory.
The conversation takes its usual unpredictable turns, covering everything from creating your own luck to Adam Ray’s new character Jeremy, and why it’s a good thing that the so-called "rules" in comedy have disappeared. They also riff on failed TV catchphrases, Carolla building a sandbox for Jimmy Kimmel’s kids, Adam Ray’s obsession with videos of above-ground pools being destroyed, Carolla’s love of microwaves, and a truly ridiculous hotel incident involving Adam Ray and a can of Beefaroni.
Later in the show, Ja Rule joins the guys to talk about his upcoming "Where the Party At" tour and his new whiskey brand, Amber & Opal. The conversation hits on Ja's early start in hip hop, how much his music influenced Adam Ray’s childhood, and what it was like being a chart-topping artist during the peak of MTV and TRL. Ja Rule shares his take on the new era of independent artists making it big without gatekeepers and discusses the difference between closing a show for the audience versus for yourself. The guys also sample Ja Rule’s whiskey, dive into tour life on a bus versus flying, and get his honest thoughts on the legacy of the infamous Fyre Festival.
To close out the episode, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins for the day’s top news stories, including a mass jail escape, a wild coyote attack, Trump reportedly suing Beyoncé and other celebrities for accepting money to endorse Kamala Harris, and a new study revealing that 75 percent of store-brand sunscreens aren’t effective. Get it on.
