On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Jessimae Peluso stops by the studio! Adam starts off with a bleak observation about Malibu’s slow recovery, noting that the local Equinox has been shuttered for six months while the Taco Bell across the street never closed. Jessimae and Adam take a look at Erewhon’s absurd prices—including Hailey Bieber’s $20 smoothie and question the legitimacy of trendy health fads like sea moss.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Jessimae Peluso stops by the studio! Adam starts off with a bleak observation about Malibu’s slow recovery, noting that the local Equinox has been shuttered for six months while the Taco Bell across the street never closed. Jessimae and Adam take a look at Erewhon’s absurd prices—including Hailey Bieber’s $20 smoothie and question the legitimacy of trendy health fads like sea moss. They also weigh in on the bizarre cultural crossover of celebrities like Travis Scott having signature smoothies and McDonald’s meals, and wrap up the segment with a cringe-worthy clip of E. Jean Carroll’s awkward interview with Anderson Cooper.

In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins to cover some wild headlines. A former MLB pitcher has been convicted of murdering his father-in-law in a chilling home invasion that involved hours of shocking security footage. Then, things take a lighter, but weirder turn with a viral TikTok story about single women in Manhattan allegedly stealing lunches to get dates, hoping a swiped salad will turn into romance via LinkedIn. Finally, they review a new 2028 Democratic primary poll showing Kamala Harris as an early frontrunner, despite her recent landslide loss to Donald Trump.

Legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao calls in to talk about his upcoming WBC welterweight title fight against Mario Barrios. He opens up about how his training and recovery have changed with age, and reflects on his long relationship with legendary trainer Freddie Roach. Manny also shares thoughts on stepping away from politics to refocus on boxing, and discusses how his humble beginnings in poverty shaped his drive and determination. Adam wraps the episode with a funny personal story about why he learned never to mess with Filipinos.

Get it on.
