In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Spectator columnist and cultural commentator Bridget Phetasy joins Adam in studio for a wide-ranging conversation that kicks off with her early days doing background acting and how that led to her media career. Adam pitches a new idea for content creation and shares a hilarious memory of doing a live Loveline show with Dr. Drew.

The two dive into the dismal state of California's leadership and the lack of progress in rebuilding homes destroyed by wildfires. Adam offers some philosophical thoughts about fires, earthquakes, and chimneys, while Bridget shares how her husband’s blood pressure dropped after moving out of the state. They discuss the decline of common sense in modern society and Bridget reveals her most unpopular opinion.

Later in the show, legendary writer and director Larry Charles joins Adam to talk about the creative process behind comedy, his early days selling jokes outside The Comedy Store, and how he broke into the industry. Larry shares stories from working on Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and directing Borat, revealing why Sacha Baron Cohen deserved an Oscar. They also discuss why Bruno didn’t resonate like Borat and reflect on the personalities of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David in real life.

Get it on.
