May 28, 2025 THANK GOD! NO MAYHEM!!!! Please please please please Please please please please PLEASE keep Elisha on permanently!!! She's lovely; her laughter is endearing; she has wit and grace and intelligence; the sound of her voice is mellifluous, and, unlike Mayhem's, does not leave one writhing in agony as if the skull's being flattened in slow motion by a Zamboni -- as it always will whenever Mayhem's in there with his uncontainable interjections and guffaws. May 14, 2025 Mayhem has destroyed yet another show. I don't get it. Erica Rhodes is hilarious and charming. Mayhem stomped all over her. Very (very) annoying. If Mayhem can't be trained to stop the jarring explosions of unpleasant laughter, the spasmodic roaring, guffawing, and unfunny, non-comprehending interruptions, he should be released to find another line of work. 5 stars for Adam and Erica, Zero for Mayhem. April 22, 2025 So pleased not to be subjected to Mayhem's excessive, disruptive laughter and guffaws throughout the show. He was really ruining the rhythm. As said in my earlier review, Mayhem could be a fun addition to the show if he were taught to curb his enthusiastic laughter and to speak more sparingly. March 2025 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.

very well informed individual

4 mins of commercials at the beginning of the show. This Show has changed my life and prospective, but enough PodCast 1 commercials already. The 30 second skip button is strong w/ this one. Now the crazy loud commercials have started. Adam has gone corporate folks.

Bald and Gina and Laxamana made the show in the recent past. Mayhem Miller is trying a little too hard to be funny. Adam is his usual brilliant self and guest roar is always strong.

Whose bright idea is it to bust in a commercial, which is louder than the show, in the middle of Adam saying a sentence? Maybe I should drink less coffee so I don’t startle so easily, but these recent loud and interrupting commercial breaks have caught me off guard lately. I wonder why someone thought this approach to advertising was a good idea. I do like the show and have listened for years.

Everybody abandoned the pirate ship(poor Dawson) used to be a fine tune automobile, the show would go off without a hitch… used to be an epic show(similar to radio/Tv) very entertaining now it’s a podcast… and everybody has a podcast, even a kid in his basement has one , it’s like you’re trying get the kinks out and telling everybody how to do their job but what do you expect. you need to throw money at it. free help isn’t cut it

Nope, Nope, Nope! I listen to podcasts for either comedy or knowledge and this has neither. The laughter is awful and there’s no knowledge on this podcast, just the usual right wing talking points. If you’re a die hard Trump follower, this podcast is for you. If you’re not, there’s thousands of better ones out there.

Just getting back into the podcast after talking a break for a few years. The fires brought me back. Adams situation was very compelling. I stopped down loading the shows because it was getting stale with Bald Brian and Lisa. Mayhem is really great for the show he’s pretty smart actually. With the destruction of the fires there are new beginnings. PS: Adam don’t move away from LA. You are LA’s finest son.

Love the show, but please get rid of Mayhem. The laugh is terrible and he interjects too much.

Adam used to be funny - I've been listening to him since the Loveline days. Now all he can do is rant about his politics (and views in general) and ignore and quite often illogically dump on anything that doesn't support them. Every time I decide to go back and listen to a new episode I'm sorely disappointed. He claims to be for logic, but below is an example from his most recent show: FOR CONTEXT FIRST - Adam anytime Joe Biden is mentioned: Angry rant, talking about how corrupt Biden is, how Hunter Biden is also corrupt and had shady business dealings in Russia. Adam when told about Trump receiving a $400 million plane from Qatar: "Nobody can pass up flying private." Subsequently, Adam's response when Mayhem tells him some of the reasons people think this is shady, including that Trump's son has business dealings in the area: -nothing, moving on- As Adam would say, "shhhhhhhhocking." Tell me you're biased without telling me you're biased, Adam. So much for logic from the guy who says his hypervigilance and "crystal brain" help him to know what's right all the time. This kind of disingenuousness and one-sided viewing of facts - on both sides - is exactly what's wrong with our world these days. For the record I didn't like Biden as a president, and his son's ties to Russia didn't look great to say the absolute least. This is no longer a comedy podcast though. If you're on the right and want to feel justified in shrugging off information that doesn't support your worldview, this is the podcast for you. If you want comedy, there's much better stuff out there.

You’re so boring

Monday May 12th’s pod was brutal. Erica Rhodes is brutal, Mayhem was annoying, and you can sense Ace was frustrated.

My friend kept asking me to listen so I did. I made it halfway through one episode. He could seriously not be more uninformed. Why do men like him have a voice and a platform? I seriously suggest people learn more factual information instead of taking opinions from raving white men who don’t have a clue about anything.

4 1/2 STARS! I only gave one so my review would be read! Like Adam, I’m a Valley kid too. I’ve been an on/off fan since his 1st days at KROQ. He hasn’t changed that much, you people on the spectrum have. Yeah, HIS financial success has eroded a bit of his memory on the daily struggle, but he’s not that far off. Yes, he’s a bit repetitive on some of the stuff he has said, but a lot of effers keep forgetting how WRONG our “official leadership” was! Mayhem has his place, just not always. Sometimes he does surprises us with his insight. Glad Gina is gone!

Please keep Dawson quiet!

I’ve been a listener since the radio days. Loved Teresa Strasser. Liked Alison Rosen. Gina Grad was somewhere in between. Mayhem is horrible as a “sidekick”. The rest of the show is good.

Drink a shot every time Adam says Covid. Long time listener, but dude, it’s been 5 years. Let it go.

The unnecessary laughter is tough to listen to

Adam you are so fast on your feet. When you have a guest that can keep up with you. The show is at its best.

I’ve been a fan for years - have hardly missed an episode. Lately, however, every episode sounds the same. Hunter Biden’s laptop, Adam was right about COVID, etc etc. I tend to agree with Adam politically, but it’s getting hard to listen to the same thing on every episode. Sounds like I’m being lectured to. I think dismissing Bald and Gina was the wrong call. The show was more entertaining with some diversity of opinion (and the drops!). Also, Mayhem is out of his league. Please, PLEASE, no more Mayhem. When he gets excited, or starts in with the questions, it becomes un-listenable. Seems like a nice guy, but this is too big of a show for an amateur broadcaster. I’ve started to skip episodes that I can tell will just be all politics, no comedy. I’ve heard everything Adam has to say on that. I’m a fan, but I don’t know that I will listen for much longer. Hoping you shift back to a more entertaining format.

This show used to be funny with a variety of funny guests, now it’s all politics and covid talk all the time

Adam is hilarious and Mayhem is awesome. Love the show

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.

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.

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

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.

Great chemistry with guests, Kyle Dunnigan always a treat, great intellectual 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!

I love Adam and Mayhem. Great combo

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.

The new format doesn’t work, and the feed is clogged with excessively long best-of episodes.

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

Mayhem is horrible That is all

More Dawson please ♥️

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.

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

So Angry! Used to be funny and light hearted. Can’t stop hating on Fauchi, parents,Newsom,Hunters laptop……… Poor oppressed rich guy.

After awhile he grates. Dr.Drew.& Carolla are magic. Dawson? Any day please👌🏻 Enjoy Adam’s take so I’ll continue watching.

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.

Please. More spam!!!! Ugh come on guys, so tacky.

Yucky. icky.

Unlistenable at this point

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.

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."

Came full circle trading Bonafuce for Mayhem. He ruins it.

I rarely finish an episode since the new cohost started.

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.

I can relate to all your youth stories so funny and entertaining!!Always keeping it REAL!!
