On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian and author Phil Hanley joins Adam in the studio! They start things off by bonding over their shared struggles with dyslexia and talk about how it was misunderstood in the past versus how it’s viewed today. They also run through a list of celebrities who’ve dealt with the condition and swap stories from their careers—like Adam’s struggle with reading cue cards on The Man Show while Jimmy Kimmel breezed through them. Later, Adam sounds off on the tsunami warning that disrupted his evening and uses it to critique the media’s tendency to overhype minor threats.
In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins Adam and Phil to discuss some of the latest headlines. They break down reports that Donald Trump might consider a pardon for Diddy depending on his bail ruling, and react to a $6 million UCLA settlement over discrimination complaints that included a so-called “Jew Exclusion Zone.” The trio also weigh in on Tom Brady’s recent parenting comments, speculating whether his words contained subtle digs at ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.
In the final segment, former MMA fighters Keith Jardine and Tait Fletcher stop by the studio to preview their new film, Kill Me Again. Keith shares the story behind his iconic nickname “The Dean of Mean” and recalls his wildest fights from the early days of MMA. The guys talk about the grind of writing their script, raising funds, and launching an independent film project. They also reflect on their time playing sports in high school and college, and what it’s like transitioning from full-contact combat to storytelling on screen.
Get it on.
