Adam Carolla Show
Barry Rothbart on Growing Up With a Mob Dad & Bon Jovi Lies + MSNBC Roasted after Name Change
20 Aug 2025
On today’s episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Barry Rothbart joins Adam in the studio! Barry shares stories about growing up with a father who was secretly involved with the mob, all while being told his dad was Bon Jovi’s manager. He reflects on discovering the truth, viewing his dad as a kind of anti-hero, and even how his first climax happened while listening to Loveline. Adam and Barry swap stories about their earliest exposure to adult content before shifting gears to Adam’s recent trip aboard Rick Caruso’s luxury yacht, sparking a conversation about the realities of extreme wealth and fame. Jason “Mayhem” Miller chimes in to break down some trending headlines, including MSNBC’s much-mocked rebrand to “MS NOW,” which critics are calling the worst renaming effort since New Coke. The guys also react to Hillary Clinton’s surprising recent comments, where she said she’d nominate Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize if he manages to broker an end to the war in Ukraine without Kyiv giving up territory to Russia.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH BARRY ROTHBART:PODCAST: Searching For Allan Rothbart - Available on AudibleINSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @barryrothbartFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineForThePeople.com/ADAMoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvLife insurance is never cheaper than it is today.
