    Use your improv skills
    It’s been nearly 6 months since your guy won. Maybe find a new angle to every news story and guest interview. I’ve gotta unsubscribe for at least 6 months. Dude. You won. Try returning to the improv and dynamics that made the show big in the first place.

    keep it trivially deprecating…that’s your roost ace-man.
    you deserve five stars, because (i think) you’re a comedic genius. i miss the old days, where you’d prattle along about an airport, lyft, or hot tub incident…the adam carolla show’s become polarizing. still, as a lefty - if i’m keeping it real, you deserve five stars. merch request: i like fanny packs, which i call sacks…can you sell some fanny packs with a patch of the ace-man’s face? because i’d absolutely enjoy looking down at my sack, to find the ace-man’s face.

    Mayhem's guffaw and bad bellowing are incessant, excessive, and annoying
    Mayhem can be interesting and funny, but his incessant loud laughter throughout the podcast is not enjoyable. He doesn't need to be fired, as some reviewers are saying. He just needs coaching and direction, and perhaps better understanding of his role vis-a-vis Adam and the guests. If he laughed once or twice per episode, at a respectable distance from the mic, the podcast would be great. As it is, he roars with laughter after every single joke. It's a rough guttural disruptive sound, not pleasing to the ear. As such, it ruins all the fun. The timing, rhythm and flow of the humor are all impacted by the behavior of one person. Sadly, at times the once entertaining show has become insufferable. Also, when you listen to the show with earphones, the cacophonous outbursts right into the skull is kind of gross. (Q. Is he deep-throating the mic? ) It's surprising that Adam with his exacting standards and aesthetic appreciation of phonetic quality seems not to perceive how Mayhem's bad bellowing wrecks the show.

    Mayhem trying way to hard
    I like him and he does great with the news, he has a nice laugh during the show But lately he’s trying to go joke for joke with Adam and he’s no comedian, he’s 5 bad jokes in the first 30min of the Sam Tripoli show
  • AmericanEvents G Rock Rock!
    Comedic genius- stop the politics tho!
    When Adams on humor he’s the best. When he’s on same story political attacks he’s un-listenable. There are political pods and serious news info. Thank god those outlets stay in their lane. We go to comedians to avoid the noise. Why some comedians continue to go serious damages their product. Especially when the POV are so repetitive and un funny. His gift is humor, not politics.

    Funny & Topical
    Great chemistry with guests, Kyle Dunnigan always a treat, great intellectual comedy.
  • @Gilmour
    Comedy?
    I am old enough to remember when beginning 2025, Adam said he was focusing on comedy. What happened? Let’s play a game Adam, go one week without covid talk, we can do this!
  • grammycandy
    I love this Podcast
    I love Adam and Mayhem. Great combo
  • connorish
    Adam Corolla podcast.
    Like Adam’s comedian guests, especially those who push back like Orney and Greg Fitzsimons. Tired long ago of Adam complaining about his upbringing and his diatribe against Covid issues. Granted, he has valid points but has turned way toward the right. Mayhem seems pleasant but is way out of his league. The show was much more interesting with Theresa Strasser.
  • algorithmfodder
    Once great; on the decline
    The new format doesn’t work, and the feed is clogged with excessively long best-of episodes.

    Thank you
    Love Yakov. His story is a must listen for every U. S. Citizen. Or want to be citizen. Thanks Carolla

    Still the Ace after all these years!
    Still the Ace after all of these years. Funny to hear people hate saying he’s changed. I enjoy Adam’s takes and think Mayhem is a fun addition. I do miss Bald and Gina, but still listening since episode one.
  • Franklinmills
    It’s gotten old
    I’ve gotten exhausted with the going over the exact same subjects over and over again and pulling up the same clips with the same angry rant that we’ve heard 10000 times, it gets to the point where Adam is more worked up than the people he’s mad at for being outraged, really weird subjects to get so attached to

    Minus Mayhem
    After awhile he grates. Dr.Drew.& Carolla are magic. Dawson? Any day please👌🏻 Enjoy Adam’s take so I’ll continue watching.
  • CanadianFan
    Mayhem is absolutely awful.
    I have been listening to this show since around 2010, and have loved it. It’s always been my go to podcast. I have to say that when Gina and Brian left it went downhill. Now that Mayhem is on, it’s almost unbearable. Please get rid of Mayhem. Please. I’m begging. The first time I heard him, I thought it was a joke or something. Like they were messing with me. Turns out it was not a joke. I still love listening to Adam, but Mayhem has got to go.

    Maybe it’s time to hang it up. He has gotten so stale. Same old takes with the only twist being a women-hating bend.
  • Randycoxsd
    Mayhem is really bad
    The show is in decline. The high-water mark was when Gina and Bryan were on the show. Mayhem is like nails on a chalkboard. They also include clutter in the feed...other podcasts "you may also like."
  • Salad Face
    Adam has still got it.
    Came full circle trading Bonafuce for Mayhem. He ruins it.
  • justinsidious
    Ace Mans sidekick ain’t cutting it.
    I rarely finish an episode since the new cohost started.
  • DougieRocko
    Ditch Mayhem
    I’m done with this podcast. I’ve been listening for years but I just can’t handle that moron Mayhem Miller any more. That stupid f’n annoying voice and personality. He’s Bald Bryan without the humor. I’ll check back in 2026 to see if Ace wised up.

    Out of touch
    I loved listening to Adam and Dr. Drew on Loveline growing up. Thanks to internet radio, I followed him to his morning show and podcast for years after. I was even a guest on this version of his show once for a segment. But for many recent years, I’ve seen him become a hack and regurgitate old bits into failed projects multiple times, surround himself with an echo chamber of sycophants, and recycle a short list of guests before they die or their careers do. This was once a #1 podcast, but hasn’t been for a long time and this formerly relevant celebrity can’t keep up with the media landscape that has changed and left his tired jokes and viewpoints in the past. This pirate ship has long since sunk into a cesspool of mediocrity

    Mayhem Ruined This Show
    Everything about Mayhem is terrible. Voice hurts my ears, chimes in way too much, and talks over Adam. Needs to go!
  • RedV$blue
    Pete!
    Listener since the beginning, and while there has been a changing lineup of cohosts, I appreciate that the show continues to evolve. 98% of the guests are hits, and Adam does a good job at keeping the conversations with the other 2% as interesting as possible. By orders of magnitude, Adam is right more times than he is wrong on matters of culture, politics, and society in general. He is often on the cutting edge of discussing topics, long before broader conversations on those topics emerge in the mainstream…. I miss Teresa, Bryan, and Gina. The Alison Rosen years were good, but it was evident that she wasn’t a right fit (though she is talented in her own right). The addition of Mayhem Miller was something to get used to, but he grows on you. Lastly, Dawson has the voice of God (if God had a two pack a day smoking habit).
  • Sidekicks women
    Mayhem as cohost?
    There are a lot of funny-ish people in the world, and they hire a woman beater as a cohost? I know his ex, I saw the bruises and know things he did to her that would make you sick to your stomach. And not just before he “got sober”, it was up until she left a couple months ago. Shame on you for supporting this man.

    The show keeps evolving, Ralph and Dov should be permanent hosts with Adam or host their own show. Absolutely funny! Adam is best when his views and comedy are questioned and challenged. I loved this episode.
  • Skidoocam
    I'm done! Too much complaining.
    Almost every podcast he complains about his parents and how "hard" his childhood was! Who wants to hear a grown man crying about his parents all the time! I couldn't hear it anymore!! What happened to the comedy? Too much political talk now. Listened to him since he started his podcast but had to stop. Long time, last time.

    Selling out the feed
    Seems like half the episodes are forced downloads of other podcasts. They are all there from a company that charges podcasters for forcing their podcasts on this and other feeds and of course they pay the feed. Here Adam, the Adam’s and drew shiw, etc. I respect he has to monetize but forcing content on our devices is pretty underhanded. I hardly listen anymore because I don’t like that advertising tactic and would rather just avoid this all together. Come on Adam. The on air lives reads are great. Stop trying to cash grab every chance you get. Sad stuff
  • REEE EVERTHING TACKEN
    From Swinging the Hammer to Swinging Right
    Alright, lemme tell ya something about Adam Carolla, man. Back in the day, this guy was like the everyman philosopher, you know, the dude who’d rant about traffic, home improvement, and why it’s impossible to find a decent plumber who shows up on time. He was the guy at the bar who could break down both sides of an argument like he was playing ping-pong with himself, right? The ol’ What Can’t Adam Complain About? bit classic. He was everyone’s cranky uncle, but like, the fun one who knows how to fix your garbage disposal. But now? The dude’s on full tilt. It’s like success handed him a megaphone and a Fox News subscription. He’s still sharp, don’t get me wrong—he can out-logic a Mensa meeting—but the nuance? Gone. Now it’s all “Let me tell you why everything’s broken, and it’s their fault.” Feels like he traded in the Craftsman toolbox for a political soapbox. Still, you listen ‘cause the guy’s got that blueprint for common sense comedy. But sometimes, you miss the old days when he’d just yell about low-flow showerheads and bad coffee instead of filibustering every episode.

    Love the show but Missing Chris
    Enjoying Adam’s long interviews, but hoping for a new person to do the news. Jason’s voice is hard to take
  • stellar lucynda
    Adam Carolla is a genius
    Let me start by saying long time fan, since love line followed your career without knowing, keep up the good work. Hard working in show business and off inspiration to all. We should all tip a page out of carollas book and don’t do your best do Adam’s best get it on.
  • drpepper421000
    Politics ruined the show
    I can’t listen anymore because of all the politics. He will not let things go from 8 years ago and constantly beings it up in every show. The show doesn’t interest me anymore.
