Summary
Adam Carolla joins Sage Steele for a wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation about California, the media, and where the country is heading. Adam explains the viral trick behind his Gavin Newsom interview, how he reassigned every word of the transcript to a Burt Reynolds voice and a generic NPR reporter to expose what was really said, and recounts the night he ambushed Newsom on live television with 22 seconds to think of a question. He and Sage get into why the media lost its way, why so many young voters are drawn to democratic socialism, the demographic shift he thinks explains it, and the red tape stalling the rebuild after the Los Angeles fires. Adam also confirms he has finally broken ground on a new home in Nevada after years of talking about leaving, and reflects on why standup comedy became the last place you could tell the truth. Racing, journalism, gender dynamics, and the state of American cities, with plenty of laughs along the way. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.
