California Screamin’ with Erica Rhodes + Robots Are Finally Taking Over!

<p>In this episode of <em>The Adam Carolla Show</em>, comedian Erica Rhodes joins Adam in the studio! They kick things off by unpacking some of California’s most ridiculous laws—especially those related to fireworks—as Adam reveals which cities go all out on the Fourth of July. Adam also reflects on the passing of actor Michael Madsen, sharing a story from when he appeared on the show, and recounts a recent conversation that perfectly captures his personality. Later, they react to a baffling speech from Gavin Newsom filled with trademark political word salad.</p><p>In the news with Jason “Mayhem” Miller, reports reveal that Amazon now employs more robots than humans, while Hertz faces backlash for its AI damage scanners charging customers for tiny scuffs. Plus, a man is convicted for impersonating a flight attendant to score over 120 free flights, and new research shows a single dose of psilocybin—aka magic mushrooms—can provide up to five years of depression relief.</p><p>Get it on.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>FOR MORE WITH ERICA RHODES</strong></p><p>INSTAGRAM &amp; TWITTER: @ericarhodes</p><p>WEBSITE: www.ericarhodescomedy.com</p><p><strong>FOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>INSTAGRAM &amp; TWITTER: @mayhemmiller</p><p>WEBSITE: <a href="http://www.mayhemnow.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mayhemnow.com</a>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Thank you for supporting our sponsors:</strong></p><ul><li>BetOnline</li><li><a href="http://betterhelp.com/CAROLLA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BetterHelp.com/CAROLLA</a></li><li>Listen to Cocaine Air wherever you get your podcasts</li><li><a href="http://homes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Homes.com</a></li><li><a href="http://oreillyauto.com/ADAM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">oreillyauto.com/ADAM</a></li><li><a href="http://pluto.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pluto.tv</a></li><li><a href="http://simplisafe.com/ADAM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">simplisafe.com/ADAM</a></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>LIVE SHOWS:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>July 10 - Irvine, CA (Live Podcast)</li><li>July 11-12 - Covina, CA (4 shows)</li><li>July 16 - Rosemont, IL</li><li>July 17 - Plymouth, WI</li></ul><p><br /></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
