Dean Cain Slams DEI, Taxes & Hollywood Hypocrisy + Howard Stern Show Coming to an End?

Adam Carolla is on tour! For dates, tickets and more go to http://adamcarolla.com!

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor Dean Cain stops by the studio! Dean shares stories from his unconventional upbringing in a Malibu trailer park with hippie parents and reflects on his early career in Hollywood—remarkably similar to Adam’s own path. The two dive into the decay of Los Angeles and California, questioning why residents pay the highest taxes and gas prices yet receive so little in return. Dean recounts advice from his director father to keep personal beliefs private—advice he proudly ignored—and they both critique DEI and other progressive movements, calling them deceptive and destructive. Dean discusses his commitment to preserving traditional values like family and education, and the two reflect on the media’s ongoing struggle with Donald Trump. They also talk about the rumored end of The Howard Stern Show, sparking memories of Adam and Jimmy Kimmel’s past appearances on it.

Elisha Krauss joins Adam and Dean to break down some of the day’s headlines. They react to a couple in Idaho charging guests nearly $1,000 for access to their wedding weekend—offering various ticket tiers in an effort to fund the celebration and avoid debt, ultimately donating over $130K in proceeds to charity. Then they turn to Massachusetts, where left-leaning Governor Maura Healey is shutting down the state’s migrant hotel shelter program after it ran nearly a billion dollars over budget. With critics, including her potential 2026 Republican challenger Mike Kennealy, saying "I told you so," the group dissects the policy failure and larger implications for state-run social programs.
