Chaos in California, EV Nightmares & the Case for Running Over Protestors

In This Episode

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam recounts his trip to Palm Springs and how his electric car ran out of battery in the middle of the night. That story sparks a rant about California’s looming EV mandate and Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit against Trump for canceling it. Adam then tells a hilarious story about “accidentally” giving his vegetarian staff meat tacos and explains his biggest beef with ESPN. He also reacts to a cringeworthy Bill Maher clip featuring Rob Reiner and Amy Klobuchar, and closes out the segment with some sharp observations about Stephen A. Smith’s mustache and the possible reasoning behind Michael Jordan’s infamous ’stache.

In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins Adam to cover Joe Rogan’s claim that two former presidents contacted Spotify over his COVID commentary—which ironically boosted his podcast by 2 million subscribers. They also react to MrBeast’s outrageous $500K date night at an empty Disneyland and discuss Candace Cameron Bure’s fear that scary movies open portals to Hell. Adam wraps the news segment with a story about the time he was the most terrified in his life, then continues with a breakdown of the recent Indian plane crash. He reacts to a viral video of white protestors blocking a Black woman from getting to work, unleashes a fiery rant on the entitlement of modern-day activists, and explains why he—and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—believe running over protestors who block traffic might just be justified.

Get it on.

White leftists block her from leaving.

“Oh, no! Not going to work!”

The Democrats will lose every election in the near future if they continue with this garbage.

This Bill Maher clip with Rob Reiner and Amy Klobuchar is instructive—replace the Hunter Biden laptop story with putting people in camps or anything horrible the government would do to the Right, and here’s approximate the response you’d get. pic.twitter.com/ewAYTNOkVK
