Comedian Steph Tolev joins Adam in the studio to discuss her new Netflix special Filth Queen, the mental toll of online trolls, and unhinged social media comments. They dive into the pressure comedians face over appearances, from nose jobs to iconic stand-up outfits. Steph talks about her podcast tour, a touching letter her dad received, and how her mother wanted her to run their highland dance studio. Plus, she and Adam rant about dumb commercial tropes, Adam pitches a new product idea, they vent about oddly spelled names, and weigh in on the viral clip of Theo Von allegedly shoving a fan.
Later, author and commentator Michael Malice calls in to talk about his new book, Not Sick of Winning: A History of President Trump's First 100 Days, and the strange trend of liberal men crossing their legs “like women.” He and Adam dissect the manipulation of language in political discourse, revisit Trump’s controversial “China virus” comment, and engage in a thought experiment on the difference between builders and talkers. They also discuss what it would actually take to fix California—and whether New York’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is part of the problem or the solution.
In the news, comedian Rudy Pavich stops by to break down some wild headlines. First up, The Simpsons shocks fans by killing off Marge in the Season 36 finale, prompting Adam to reflect on his voice work as Death on Family Guy. Then, they react to Florida’s controversial plan to detain migrants in a new Everglades facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—a low-cost, high-risk detention center surrounded by dangerous wildlife. Finally, they unpack the bizarre saga of disgraced influencer “Liver King,” who was arrested in Texas after posting unhinged videos and challenging Joe Rogan to a fight.
Get it on.
