Adam Carolla is on tour! For dates, tickets and more go to

Actor Joe Mantegna joins Adam for an engaging conversation about his long-running career in film and television, his early start in theater, and his passion project: co-owning a boutique tequila brand called Señor Rio. They also chat about growing up in Chicago, his surprising path into acting, his views on firearms and Second Amendment rights, and how he’s kept a steady career while staying grounded in his values.

In the news: Two biological males compete in the UK Women’s Pool Championship, while a Colorado bill could allow the state to seize children from parents who “misgender.” Plus, Gavin Newsom backs a new plan to issue speeding tickets based on income, and teens are delaying their driver’s licenses—raising questions about a generation drifting away from independence and responsibility.
