Spike Feresten, Jon Cryer + Investigative journalist Suzanne Rico; Race Cars, Classism, and Investigating a Nazi Past

In This Episode

Kicking things off, writer and car aficionado Spike Feresten shares what it was like working with Jerry Seinfeld on Unfrosted, but the conversation quickly veers into the fast lane—vintage race cars, high-stakes auctions, and legendary motorcycles. From Jerry’s Porsche 917 auction to Jay Leno’s crash wisdom, Adam and Spike swap stories about the machines that shaped them.
Later, Adam takes on the latest cultural battlefield: classism, after a weekend tweet explodes into controversy. He defends his stance on self-reliance and claps back at critics who accuse him of privilege, sharing a no-nonsense take on paying your fair share and pandemic-era handouts. Jason “Mayhem” Miller breaks down the biggest headlines, including a $100M grant linking racism to Alzheimer’s, a push to remove soda from food stamps, and the NYC subway attack victim’s family demanding justice.
After the break, Jon Cryer joins Adam to reminisce about their days as neighbors and his wild ride working with Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. He then introduces Suzanne Rico, whose shocking new podcast, The Man Who Calculated Death, uncovers her family’s dark Nazi past—a gripping real-life historical investigation. Fast cars, deep dives, and classic Carolla takes—this episode delivers it all.
