Adam kicks things off by sharing his excitement for the upcoming Rolex Historics at Monterey’s Laguna Seca before chatting about his plans to spend time aboard Rick Caruso’s massive superyacht. He then reacts to Stephen A. Smith’s explanation of why Pete Buttigieg is polling at 0% among black voters despite leading the 2028 Democratic primary race overall, and weighs in on Denver’s bid to host the Gay Games. Then, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller dive into trending headlines, from Emma Raducanu wanting a crying baby removed during a tense 23-minute game, to Jannik Sinner’s Wimbledon serve being interrupted by a rogue champagne cork, to Los Angeles officials cracking down on dangerous street takeover meet-ups with tougher penalties and possible jail time.

Then, renowned attorney and author Alan Dershowitz calls in! Adam opens by asking about the importance of political balance in American governance before shifting focus to the growing challenges of living in California. Alan connects the homelessness crisis in major cities to policy decisions dating back to Ronald Reagan, while Adam voices concern over the increasing trend of corporations and publications blacklisting people for their political views. They also touch on the controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein—including Alan’s own legal entanglements, Trump’s alleged involvement, and the mystery of Epstein’s wealth—before Alan shares his candid thoughts on the Democratic Party and the Obamas.

Lastly, Adam recaps his recent fire vlog where he interviews Rick Caruso about how he successfully protected his properties during the Southern California wildfires. Adam and Jason Mayhem Miller discuss the value of trade work, with Adam arguing that college isn't always the best—or only—path to a successful career. They also point out Caltrans work trucks they always see on the freeway and imagine the nightmare of crashing into one. Finally, Adam vents his frustration over a Los Angeles tunnel being tagged with graffiti less than a day after it was repainted, using it as a jumping-off point to rant about modern parenting and the need to teach kids common sense.

Get it on.
