Are Mel Brooks Movies Actually Funny? w/ Adam Yenser + Obama Criticizes LA’s Homeless Crisis

Rob Riggle joins Adam Carolla to talk standing up to bullies, hitting open mics in New York, and building resilience through the Marines. They discuss discipline, lessons from fathers and coaches, and why stand-up doesn’t need Hollywood to succeed. Rob shares what it felt like to finally get “the call” and Adam reflects on climbing vs. maintaining a career; including his chaotic Loveline audition story. Packed with hilarious and brutal honesty, Rob’s new book, Grit, Spit, and Never Quit: A Marine's Guide to Comedy and Life, dives even deeper into fear, failure, discipline, and never giving up.FOR MORE WITH ROB RIGGLE:BOOK: Grit, Spit, and Never Quit: A Marine’s Guide To Comedy and LifePAT’S RUN: Rob will be official Race Starter for Pat’s Run honoring Pat Tillman - April 11, 2026 - Tempe AZGo to pattillmanfoundation.org/pats-runFOR MORE WITH RUDY PAVICH:INSTAGRAM: @rudy_pavichWEBSITE: www.rudypavichcomedy.comLIVE SHOWS: February 27 - Dallas, TX (2 Shows)February 28 - Dallas, TX (2 Shows)Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineProtect your family with life insurance from Ethos.
