Justin Bartha Teases National Treasure 3 + L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Calls Ice Raids “Un-American”

In This Episode

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off by reflecting on who’s really keeping cities like Los Angeles running—and how traffic patterns seem to be changing in surprising ways. He shares a bizarre memory of acting in Frank McKlusky, C.I., a film that tried (and failed) to ride the coattails of Ace Ventura. Plus, Adam recaps his recent tour of the Pacific Palisades and gives an update on the progress (or lack thereof) in rebuilding.

In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins to break down some wild headlines: A disturbing attempted kidnapping caught on camera in Coney Island, Mayor Karen Bass’s furious response to an ICE raid in a gang-heavy LA neighborhood, and new drama surrounding Gary Coleman’s death as his ex-wife flunks a televised lie detector test.

Later, actor Justin Bartha calls in to discuss his new movie Nuked, and chats with Adam about his career highlights—including National Treasure and The Hangover. Adam asks the question on everyone’s mind: Will there ever be a National Treasure 3? Justin also opens up about the reality of making good comedy films, his recent experience at a mental health retreat, and how he stays grounded amidst the chaos of Hollywood life.

Get it on.

Only 1% of the victims of the Palisades fires have been issued permits to rebuild.

CA Dems didn’t have water to put out the fires and now won’t give victims permits.
