Lou opens up about the origins of his name, the strange ways fans insist they've met him before, and his love of cooking for family and friends. He recalls making sandwiches his mom would make him as a kid, working at Whataburger and even preparing lunch for Willie Nelson, and the worst job he ever had. Lou also dives into Hollywood life, from his early days being cast in Hispanic roles despite not being Hispanic, to getting dragged 100 yards behind a horse on the set of Young Guns 2, and talks with Adam about how hard it is to make a good comedic film or TV show.Later, stand-up comedian Mike Vecchione and MMA personality Jason “Mayhem” Miller join Adam in the studio. They kick things off talking about the myth that white people don't want to work the typical manual labor jobs that immigrants take, and compare sports in high school back then to today, where schools make special accommodations for kids who aren't as athletic.

Adam also asks Mayhem for his take on the Raja Jackson situation.In the news, Mayhem joins Adam and Mike Vecchione to discuss the week's trending headlines.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Dana Gould joins Adam in the studio! Adam praises Dana for being one of the few comics beloved across the board before diving into his legendary career writing for The Simpsons and Seth MacFarlane's Ted. Dana reflects on his love for writing, the different career paths he could have taken, and how the “hero's journey” became the template for nearly every Hollywood movie. The two share their admiration for Albert Brooks and the classic film Defending Your Life, reminisce about old favorites like Smokey and the Bandit, and even discuss the sad sight of abandoned buildings scattered across the desert on the drive to Vegas. Dana also discusses his conscious decision to be extra polite in traffic and the reasons behind it. Later, Adam explains why he regularly blows through red left-turn arrows, makes the case for why the laws around them are ridiculous, and tells the story of running a red on PCH right next to a fire truck full of firefighters. That sparks a bigger conversation about people's inverted relationships with rules and authority, as Adam and Dana break down how modern culture often treats common sense like a liability. Along the way, they explore how shifts in comedy, film, and everyday life reflect broader changes in society, giving the episode a mix of humor, nostalgia, and sharp social commentary.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH DANA GOULD: SHOW: Hanging With Doctor Z - Live in person and live streamed - LOS ANGELES - Dynasty Typewriter - September 7thWEBSITE: DanaGould.comPODCAST: The Dana Gould HourINSTAGRAM: @danagouldSPECIAL: Perfectly Normal - on YouTubeThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomeChef.com/ADAMhomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMRosettastone.com/ADAMPluto.tvThriveMarket.com/ACSLIVE SHOWS: August 29 - Provo, UTAugust 31 - Torrance, CASeptember 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Avi Liberman joins Adam in studio to talk about his new book Strange Gigs, which chronicles the bizarre and unexpected shows he's had to perform while on the road.

Dean shares stories from his unconventional upbringing in a Malibu trailer park with hippie parents and reflects on his early career in Hollywood—remarkably similar to Adam's own path. The two dive into the decay of Los Angeles and California, questioning why residents pay the highest taxes and gas prices yet receive so little in return.

Then they turn to Massachusetts, where left-leaning Governor Maura Healey is shutting down the state's migrant hotel shelter program after it ran nearly a billion dollars over budget. With critics, including her potential 2026 Republican challenger Mike Kennealy, saying "I told you so," the group dissects the policy failure and larger implications for state-run social programs.FOR MORE WITH DEAN CAIN:MOVIE: Little Angels - Now streaming on Angel.comGRAPHIC: DEAN CAIN ALL-AMERICAN AVAILABLE NOW on BIG MAN COMICS.COMTWITTER: @deuces1966 INSTAGRAM: @realdeancainFOR MORE WITH ELISHA KRAUSS: INSTAGRAM: @elishakraussWEBSITE: elishakrauss.com JOURNAL: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/author/elisha-krauss/Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Get $10 Off @BRUNT with code Adam at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/Adam #BRUNTpodchime.com/AdamHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMLife insurance is never cheaper than it is today.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Dusty Slay joins Adam in the studio to talk about his new comedy special Wet Heat, the grind of performing on the road, and the balance between speaking your truth and reading the room on stage. Their conversation takes a wild turn as they dive into the strange saga of The Beach Boys, from Brian Wilson's mental health battles to their bizarre connection with Charles Manson. That segues into a morbidly funny discussion about burial methods, celebrities buried at sea—including Dennis Wilson—and a classic Crank Yankers prank call to a burial-at-sea business.
