On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian and author
Phil Hanley joins Adam in the studio! They start things off by
bonding over their shared struggles with dyslexia and talk about
how it was misunderstood in the past versus how it’s viewed
today. They also run through a list of celebrities who’ve dealt
with the condition and swap stories from their careers—like
Adam’s struggle with reading cue cards on The Man Show while
Jimmy Kimmel breezed through them. Later, Adam sounds off on the
tsunami warning that disrupted his evening and uses it to
critique the media’s tendency to overhype minor threats.

In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins Adam and Phil to discuss
some of the latest headlines. They break down reports that Donald
Trump might consider a pardon for Diddy depending on his bail
ruling, and react to a $6 million UCLA settlement over
discrimination complaints that included a so-called “Jew
Exclusion Zone.” The trio also weigh in on Tom Brady’s recent
parenting comments, speculating whether his words contained
subtle digs at ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

In the final segment, former MMA fighters Keith Jardine and Tait
Fletcher stop by the studio to preview their new film, Kill Me
Again. Keith shares the story behind his iconic nickname “The
Dean of Mean” and recalls his wildest fights from the early days
of MMA. The guys talk about the grind of writing their script,
raising funds, and launching an independent film project. They
also reflect on their time playing sports in high school and
college, and what it’s like transitioning from full-contact
combat to storytelling on screen.

Get it on.
