Spike Feresten, Jon Cryer + Investigative journalist Suzanne Rico; Race Cars, Classism, and Investigating a Nazi Past
Kicking things off, writer and car aficionado Spike Feresten shares what it was like working with Jerry Seinfeld on Unfrosted, but the conversation quickly veers into the fast lane—vintage race cars, high-stakes auctions, and legendary motorcycles. From Jerry’s Porsche 917 auction to Jay Leno’s crash wisdom, Adam and Spike swap stories about the machines that shaped them.
Later, Adam takes on the latest cultural battlefield: classism, after a weekend tweet explodes into controversy. He defends his stance on self-reliance and claps back at critics who accuse him of privilege, sharing a no-nonsense take on paying your fair share and pandemic-era handouts. Jason "Mayhem" Miller breaks down the biggest headlines, including a $100M grant linking racism to Alzheimer’s, a push to remove soda from food stamps, and the NYC subway attack victim’s family demanding justice.
After the break, Jon Cryer joins Adam to reminisce about their days as neighbors and his wild ride working with Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men. He then introduces Suzanne Rico, whose shocking new podcast, The Man Who Calculated Death, uncovers her family’s dark Nazi past—a gripping real-life historical investigation.

Actor Seann William Scott + Body by Jake Jake Steinfeld + Adam discusses fires in depth
Adam kicks off the show with actor Seann William Scott, diving into his latest ABC sitcom, Shifting Gears. The conversation quickly turns nostalgic as they revisit the comedy classic Windy City Heat before Seann shares behind-the-scenes stories from The Dukes of Hazzard—talking car stunts, working with Johnny Knoxville, and leaving Minnesota at the ripe young age of 18 to become a movie star. Things take a turn when Adam and Seann discuss the recent chaos in California, from the devastating Malibu wildfires to the wave of Tesla arsonists. With countless classic cars lost in the fires and electric vehicles being torched in protests, the past two months have been brutal for car lovers.
Jake Steinfeld then joins the show with an unbelievable story—losing his home, a lifetime’s worth of memorabilia, and, in what truly breaks Adam’s heart, his Ferrari 550. But the real kicker? California’s nightmare bureaucracy is stopping him from rebuilding. Adam and Jake go off on the state’s insane permit process, red tape, and government inefficiency that keeps disaster victims in limbo. But in classic Body by Jake fashion, he refuses to wallow, preaching his lifelong mantra: DON’T QUIT!—he even casually mentions a run for governor. Could Body by Jake become California by Jake?
