In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, New York Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo stops by to talk with Adam about the differences in how men and women approach work, and how radical gender ideology has reshaped society in a surprisingly short time. Adam shares his opinion on female aggression, and Ralph explains what led him to write his new book, The Great Chinese Art Heist. The conversation shifts to election integrity, foreign influence, and the dangers of electronic voting machines—prompting Adam to recount his own experience trying to vote in California. They also delve into how foreign adversaries seek to undermine the U.S. and how mainstream media selectively reports stories to push a narrative.

In the news, Mike Dawson joins Adam to break down some headlines: Sean “Diddy” Combs is found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted on lesser charges; Lia Thomas is stripped of swimming titles at UPenn after administrative pressure; and Los Angeles hotel owners raise the alarm over a looming $30 minimum wage that could shutter businesses citywide. Plus, a harrowing ocean rescue goes viral after a dad jumps from a Disney cruise ship to save his daughter.

Later, journalist and author Alex Thompson calls in to discuss his new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, co-written with Jake Tapper. Adam and Alex examine how the media downplayed Biden’s cognitive decline, draw parallels to the media’s handling of COVID, and revisit the Hunter Biden laptop controversy. They wrap up with a big question: What, if anything, can the media do to win back the public’s trust?

Get it on.

Comedian Steph Tolev joins Adam in the studio to discuss her new Netflix special Filth Queen, the mental toll of online trolls, and unhinged social media comments. They dive into the pressure comedians face over appearances, from nose jobs to iconic stand-up outfits. Steph talks about her podcast tour, a touching letter her dad received, and how her mother wanted her to run their highland dance studio. Plus, she and Adam rant about dumb commercial tropes, Adam pitches a new product idea, they vent about oddly spelled names, and weigh in on the viral clip of Theo Von allegedly shoving a fan.

Later, author and commentator Michael Malice calls in to talk about his new book, Not Sick of Winning: A History of President Trump's First 100 Days, and the strange trend of liberal men crossing their legs “like women.” He and Adam dissect the manipulation of language in political discourse, revisit Trump’s controversial “China virus” comment, and engage in a thought experiment on the difference between builders and talkers. They also discuss what it would actually take to fix California—and whether New York’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is part of the problem or the solution.

In the news, comedian Rudy Pavich stops by to break down some wild headlines. First up, The Simpsons shocks fans by killing off Marge in the Season 36 finale, prompting Adam to reflect on his voice work as Death on Family Guy. Then, they react to Florida’s controversial plan to detain migrants in a new Everglades facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—a low-cost, high-risk detention center surrounded by dangerous wildlife. Finally, they unpack the bizarre saga of disgraced influencer “Liver King,” who was arrested in Texas after posting unhinged videos and challenging Joe Rogan to a fight.

Get it on.
