On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Dusty Slay joins Adam in the studio to talk about his new comedy special Wet Heat, the grind of performing on the road, and the balance between speaking your truth and reading the room on stage. Their conversation takes a wild turn as they dive into the strange saga of The Beach Boys, from Brian Wilson’s mental health battles to their bizarre connection with Charles Manson. That segues into a morbidly funny discussion about burial methods, celebrities buried at sea—including Dennis Wilson—and a classic Crank Yankers prank call to a burial-at-sea business. They wrap up the segment admiring how rock guitarists coolly balance lit cigarettes on their fretboards mid-solo.
Then, Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins Adam and Dusty to break down some of the latest headlines, including a female police officer in Houston under investigation after vowing on social media to ticket "everyone" because she didn’t get any action the night before. They also discuss Conor McGregor’s surprising move to petition for a spot on Ireland’s presidential ballot and Jim Acosta’s controversial interview with an AI avatar of a Parkland shooting victim, which has drawn heavy criticism online for being exploitative and inappropriate.
Actress and comedian Kym Whitley stops by to chat about landing a role in Happy Gilmore 2 and what it was like working with Adam Sandler, whom she calls one of the nicest people in Hollywood. Kym and Adam dive into his reputation for bluntness, and she shares heartfelt memories and career advice she received from the legendary Redd Foxx. They also discuss how she scored a role on Curb Your Enthusiasm and reflect on the incredible real-life story where footage from the show helped exonerate a man falsely accused of murder.
Get it on.
