Summary

Comedian Chrissie Mayr joins Adam and Mayhem to share stories about pregnancy, comedy, and her experiences navigating the ever-changing media landscape. She and Adam riff on Covid-era misinformation, the medical industry's history of stretching the truth, and bizarre internet trends, including the strange rise of “hot” Down syndrome influencers. New York Times columnist and author Ross Douthat joins Adam to revisit their recent debate and continue their discussion on elite failures, media narratives, and government overreach. They break down how institutions push fear to control narratives, why politicians and the press distort reality, and the ever-growing divide between the ruling class and everyday Americans. In the news, L.A.'s parking ticket system is so broken that it’s losing millions, while Chicago realizes it sold its parking meters to the UAE until 2083 and now regrets everything. Plus, pit bulls high on cocaine attack, and the Karen Bass recall effort stirs controversy.
