Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-carolla">Adam Carolla</a> is predicting that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wildfires">wildfires</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california">California</a> will help turn the tide on the state&#8217;s endless red tape.
The actor spoke with The Daily Wire in the aftermath of the disaster, discussing how California can come back from the fires and blasting leftists&#8217; focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Carolla also mentioned how he had tried to become a firefighter in L.A. but was turned down. 
“I tried to be a firefighter, you know, when I was 19 … I wasn&#8217;t black enough, or Hispanic enough, or female enough to be let on to the crew. So I did have a little kind of special place in my heart for equity, ‘cause I was poor, and needed a job, and was willing to work,” Carolla said in an interview that aired on Morning Wire.

He continued, “The people who just want their property saved or just want their kids saved or their pets saved or their husband or their wife saved don&#8217;t care about equity. And I also don&#8217;t think people in 2025 America care at all.”
“We just sort of want the best-qualified person,” Carolla went on. “I think it&#8217;s racist and a lot of projection when they would say …the fire department needs to resemble the community that it serves. I&#8217;d always go, I don&#8217;t know, why? Who cares?”
The podcast host is one of thousands who had to evacuate his home. Carolla said his apartment survived the inferno, but the entire area around it was burned down.

When asked if the rebuilding process will help cut down on regulations and government red tape, the comedian was optimistic, saying most people don’t realize how much exists until they come face to face with it. He said the rebuilding after the fires will inspire a “renaissance.” 
“I had a front-row seat to like really bad regulatory systems and lots of overreach and too much intervention by the government early and I&#8217;ve complained about it my entire radio career, but no one else cared because they just didn&#8217;t come from that,” he said. “So they didn&#8217;t really experience it, but I think now they&#8217;re getting a little bit of a front-row seat to it. And so I hope sort of globally it is impactful.”

The Daily Wire’s first animated comedy series “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mr-birchum-series-premiere-event-drops-tonight">Mr. Birchum</a>” goes where mainstream comedy won’t, a respite from the woke agenda everywhere one looks.
Created by comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-carolla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Carolla</a>, “Mr. Birchum” is headed by Carolla as the voice of no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher, Mr. Birchum, along with a star-studded cast which includes Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/brett-cooper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brett Cooper</a>, journalist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megyn Kelly</a>, comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/roseanne-barr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roseanne Barr</a>, and so many more. 
“Whatever turn society takes and whatever bothers regular folk, normal people, we will skewer,” Carolla said on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morning Wire</a> about what viewers can expect of the new DailyWire+ show. “So Birchum just sort of represents normal people who don’t get any of this crap. And that’s what you should expect Birchum to attack.”
“At a certain point, this stuff started being forced upon us and fed to us, and then I think that was the problem, like a lot of normal people [said], ‘I don’t want to know your pronouns, or I don’t want to embrace the trans movement, or Hamas, or anything like that, and I like to walk outside without a mask,’” he added.
The first episode premiered <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclusively</a> on Sunday, May 12 on Daily Wire+ and deals with Birchum coming face to face with his new nemesis, fanatical social justice warrior, Karponzi voiced by comedian Tyler Fischer, who tries to enact his woke agenda on his new school.
The woodshop teacher’s foes not only include Karponzi but indoctrinated, snowflake students and a school board that’s jumped in head first to adopt the DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) agenda.
<h3>Origin Of “Mr. Birchum”</h3>
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-carolla-tells-ben-shapiro-the-origin-of-mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carolla</a> recently talked about the origin of “Mr. Birchum,” telling Daily Wire’s Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro that, “this is a project that’s been 30 years in the making.”
<div id="attachment_737709" style="width: 394px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-737709" class="size-large wp-image-737709" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/2151989414-384x576.jpg" alt="LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 07: Adam Carolla attends the Mr. Birchum Series Premiere on May 07, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

“In 1994, I was a boxing coach. I was training Jimmy Kimmel to box. Jimmy, the sports guy back then, for KROQ radio, for a morning stunt. He thought I was funny. He said, ‘I think I can get you on the radio. But you’ve got to come up with a character,&#8217;” Carolla explained.
He continued, “I said, ‘I don’t do characters.’ He said, ‘You better come up with one.’ And I came up with a character called Mr. Birchum. Thirty years ago on KROQ radio in Los Angeles for the morning show.”
Carolla said the character “immediately became insanely popular” and added, “This is how I got into show business.”
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: &#8220;Mr. Birchum&#8221; now on DailyWire+</a></h4>
Next, Shapiro asked about the character and what he represents. “Who was the character? Why did it become so popular?” he asked.
“He’s an amalgamation of every mean shop teacher I had in junior high,” Carolla replied. “I went to Walter Reed Junior High, and I had Mr. Gage and Mr. Smith and all these horrible shop teachers. They were angry guys with big mustaches and big forearms who loved woodworking and hated kids.”
“Even as a 13- or 14-year-old, I thought it was interesting that these guys went to school every day to work with kids, but hated kids,” he added.
“They loved their shop. And they looked at it as their shop, and the kids were sort of a nuisance and an annoyance who were coming in and who were using their tools. That’s sort of the approach for every shop teacher I had,” Carolla continued. “And so, as I went through life, I would tell people, ‘Did you ever have a mean shop teacher?’ And they’d go, ‘Oh, mine was the worst!’”
Carolla said, “I sort of realized everyone had a shared experience of the horrible, mean shop teachers. And I thought, I’ve never seen an ‘SNL’ sketch about a mean shop teacher. No one has captured this guy. But I’ll capture him. And that’s where Mr. Birchum was born.”
Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing, who is the executive producer of the series, previously said, “Hollywood wouldn’t make ‘Birchum’ today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.”
“We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Fischer, and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends,” Boreing added.
<h3>Star-Studded Cast</h3>
<div id="attachment_737723" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-737723" class="size-large wp-image-737723" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/05/2151989360-864x576.jpg" alt="LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 07: Roseanne Barr attends the Mr. Birchum Series Premiere on May 07, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.

Carolla-who brings to life Birchum-is joined by his family— wife Wendi, voiced by the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show”; son Eddie, voiced by Kyle Dunnigan; and stepdaughter Jeanie, voiced by The Daily Wire’s very own host of “The Comments Section with Brett Cooper,” partnered with Birchum’s friend Gage, voiced by Alonzo Bodden.
Other celebs involved in the project include Sage Steele (Deena), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Riggle (Gunderson), and Barr as Principal Bortles.
During the Sirius XM “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-need-a-guy-like-birchum-more-than-ever-cast-of-mr-birchum-discusses-new-comedy-on-the-megyn-kelly-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Megyn Kelly Show</a>” podcast, the host and Carolla talked about the series and the insanity of the radical anti-America and anti-Israel protesters on college campuses across the country, with Kelly saying the country needs more Birchums in school.
“I will say, the timing for this is perfect,” the host said. “But we need a guy like Birchum more than ever. We could use more like Mr. Birchum in our K-12 and college education right now because we are producing a bunch of soft [people].”

Cooper was also on the show where she and Kelly joked about being mom and daughter on “Mr. Birchum.”
The Daily Wire host said she grew up as a child actor in Los Angeles for ten years and later went to college at UCLA. During the pandemic, she said her life changed and it was then she decided to speak out about “politics, values, current events, and culture” by making videos online, becoming a voice for the Right for a generation that was inundated with leftist ideology.
<h3>Hollywood Launch Party</h3>

The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTaXLgtcGlg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digital billboard</a> was 7 feet tall and 12 feet long and was made to resemble a school bus since the show centers on a junior high woodshop teacher voiced by Carolla.
The mobile billboard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTaXLgtcGlg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drove around</a> some Southern California hotspots, including Hollywood, West L.A., Culver City, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach.

The first episode will be available for free to everyone with the rest of the series available to <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/birchum/?utm_campaign=birchum&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=googlesearch&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwrvyxBhAbEiwAEg_KgmgCEmCBKjKe2DpLDwB3ZRXRRJHS4UWgwuisG_eQWugy9rM6LhY3TRoC6GQQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DailyWire+ members</a>, who can watch the no-nonsense woodshop teacher face off with JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) officer Karponzi in a clash of traditional craftsmanship against modern values, starring Carolla, Megyn Kelly, Roseanne Barr, and more.
Viewers can also stick around for the Q&amp;A post-show following the premiere of episode 1.
Carolla was on the Sunday edition of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morning Wire</a>” this morning to discuss the new DailyWire+ show and reveal what viewers can expect from the comedy series.
“Whatever turn society takes and whatever bothers regular folk, normal people, we will skewer,” Carolla said. “So Birchum just sort of represents normal people who don&#8217;t get any of this crap. And that&#8217;s what you should expect Birchum to attack.”
“At a certain point, this stuff started being forced upon us and fed to us, and then I think that was the problem, like a lot of normal people [said], ‘I don&#8217;t want to know your pronouns, or I don&#8217;t want to embrace the trans movement, or Hamas, or anything like that, and I like to walk outside without a mask,’” he added.
Carolla previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-carolla-tells-ben-shapiro-the-origin-of-mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro that he first created Mr. Birchum as a character 30 years ago on the “Kevin and Bean Show,” which aired on L.A.’s KROQ radio station.
“In 1994, I was a boxing coach. I was training Jimmy Kimmel to box. Jimmy, the sports guy back then, for KROQ radio, for a morning stunt. He thought I was funny. He said, ‘I think I can get you on the radio. But you’ve got to come up with a character,&#8217;” Carolla said, adding, “I said, ‘I don’t do characters.’ He said, ‘You better come up with one.’ And I came up with a character called Mr. Birchum. Thirty years ago on KROQ radio in Los Angeles for the morning show.”

“This is a project that’s been 30 years in the making. So what’s the origin of ‘Mr. Birchum?’” Shapiro asks.
“In 1994, I was a boxing coach. I was training Jimmy Kimmel to box. Jimmy, the sports guy back then, for KROQ radio, for a morning stunt. He thought I was funny. He said, ‘I think I can get you on the radio. But you’ve got to come up with a character,'&#8221; Carolla explained.
He continued, “I said, ‘I don’t do characters.’ He said, ‘You better come up with one.’ And I came up with a character called Mr. Birchum. Thirty years ago on KROQ radio in Los Angeles for the morning show.”
Carolla said the character “immediately became insanely popular” and added, “This is how I got into show business.”
Next, Shapiro asked about the character and what he represents. “Who was the character? Why did it become so popular?” he asked.

“He’s an amalgamation of every mean shop teacher I had in junior high,” Carolla replies. “I went to Walter Reed Junior High, and I had Mr. Gage and Mr. Smith and all these horrible shop teachers. They were angry guys with big mustaches and big forearms who loved woodworking and hated kids.”
“Even as a 13- or 14-year-old, I thought it was interesting that these guys went to school every day to work with kids, but hated kids,” he continued.
“They loved their shop. And they looked at it as their shop, and the kids were sort of a nuisance and an annoyance who were coming in and who were using their tools. That’s sort of the approach for every shop teacher I had. And so, as I went through life, I would tell people, ‘Did you ever have a mean shop teacher?’ And they’d go, ‘Oh, mine was the worst!’”
Carolla said, “I sort of realized everyone had a shared experience of the horrible, mean shop teachers. And I thought, I’ve never seen an ‘SNL’ sketch about a mean shop teacher. No one has captured this guy. But I’ll capture him. And that’s where Mr. Birchum was born.”
Carolla voices Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense teacher navigating Teddy Roosevelt Junior High with his family — Wendi (Megyn Kelly), Eddie (Kyle Dunnigan), and stepdaughter Jeanie (Brett Cooper). Partnering with his friend Gage (Alonzo Bodden), Mr. Birchum faces off against a progressive poster child for change, the fanatical social justice warrior, Karponzi (Tyler Fischer).
Other celebs involved in the project include Sage Steele (Deena), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).
“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing previously said of the series.
“Of course, Hollywood wouldn’t make ‘Birchum’ today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.  We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer, and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends.”
“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum">Mr. Birchum</a>” premieres Sunday, May 12, exclusively on DailyWire+.

Megyn Kelly said “we need a guy like Birchum more than ever” as she sat down with her fellow cast members of The Daily Wire’s first animated sitcom series “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum">Mr. Birchum</a>,” the show that will go where mainstream comedy won’t.
During “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1v8cwFuCtc">Sirius XM</a> on Wednesday, the host spoke with Adam Carolla, the creator of the new series about the no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher, Mr. Birchum, who’s firmly rooted in his traditional convictions and fearlessly confronts a world he deems baffling and mediocre.
Carolla told Kelly that the idea of the character he voices was based on “all the shop teachers I had in junior high school,” who he said were these “tough, scary, big forearm guys who hated kids and were mean as hell.” 
“But [they] liked the idea of getting paid to be indoors around this equipment and work in a wood shop,” Carolla added. “So, these are guys who didn’t go to college. Never wanted to work with kids. Didn’t want to mold society or help shape youth.”
“So, I always had in my head that it was a funny archetype that here were these guys going to school everyday to work with kids but they hated them,” Carolla continued.
Kelly pointed out the insanity of the radical anti-Israel protesters on college campuses across the country and said the country needs more Birchums in school.
“I will say, the timing for this is perfect,” the host said. “But we need a guy like Birchum more than ever. We could use more like Mr. Birchum in our K-12 and college education right now because we are producing a bunch of soft [people].”
One such person Mr. Birchum must face off with regularly is the extremely woke Karponzi, a fanatical social justice warrior, played by comedian Tyler Fischer. Carolla told Kelly that Karponzi basically represents “society at large.” 
“Karponzi is really a compilation of all the idiots who have been trying to force this [woke] stuff down our throat for the last 10 years,” Carolla said. “His character represents everybody who was wrong about COVID-19, [wrong about] anything that comes down the pike.”
Created by Carolla more than a decade ago, “Mr. Birchum” has a star-studded cast that includes Kelly, Fischer, Roseanne Barr, Jay Mohr, Kyle Dunnigan, Daily Wire&#8217;s Brett Cooper, Danny Trejo, Sage Steele, and more.

Cooper was also on the show where she and Kelly joked about being mom and daughter on &#8220;Mr. Birchum,&#8221; with Cooper voicing Birchum&#8217;s daughter and Kelly his wife.
The Daily Wire host said she grew up as a child actor in Los Angeles for ten years and later went to college at UCLA. During the pandemic, she said her life changed and it was then she decided to speak out about &#8220;politics, values, current events, and culture&#8221; by making videos online, becoming a voice for the Right for a generation that was inundated with leftist ideology.
&#8220;When COVID started happening I was faced with a lot of anger and hatred from friends at college,&#8221; Cooper said. &#8220;These were close friends I was about to live with next year&#8230;and all of that sort of blew up in my face. I was like &#8216;Oh, my gosh I disagree with all of you.'&#8221;

Journalist Megyn Kelly discussed the cultural momentum of The Daily Wire while showing off the trailer for &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dailywire-announces-adult-animated-comedy-series-mr-birchum-created-by-adam-carolla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Birchum</a>,&#8221; DailyWire+&#8217;s first animated scripted series, which features Kelly&#8217;s voiceover work as a character named Wendi.
&#8220;Mr. Birchum&#8221; is the brainchild of comedian and actor Adam Carolla. The series follows Carolla’s classic character, Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher who&#8217;s trying to navigate a world he doesn’t understand or approve of.
&#8220;It was so fun,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;My character is Wendi, she&#8217;s married to Adam Carolla (Mr. Birchum), and she&#8217;s like &#8212; she&#8217;s definitely a Lefty, unlike yours truly. And one of her best friends is Candace Owens&#8217; character, and so she and I have some scenes together.&#8221;
&#8220;The whole thing is so fun,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I really just did this because Adam asked me to, and I love Adam. I was like, this is not my thing &#8212; I&#8217;m usually pretty good at knowing what my &#8216;thing&#8217; is. And they were like, &#8216;just try it, just try it!&#8217; It was so fun. I cracked up, I was crying when I saw the script.&#8221;
Kelly said the actor Kyle Dunnigan, who plays the character of Eddie, &#8220;is one of the funniest people I&#8217;ve ever heard &#8212; all these guys!&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s so much goodness for our side, the side of normalcy, the side that doesn&#8217;t get offended at everything,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s just refreshing to be a part of something like that.&#8221;
&#8220;And there&#8217;s such fertile ground for it, too,&#8221; said Stu Burguiere, host of BlazeTV&#8217;s &#8220;Stu Does America.&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;ve got a great all-star cast, there.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Burguiere noted that the Left has abandoned mocking what&#8217;s so obviously mockable and commended The Daily Wire for including people who are so talented. &#8220;Adam Carolla is legitimately funny, I don&#8217;t care who you are. [And] he&#8217;s been successful before &#8216;woke&#8217; was a thing, he&#8217;s always been really funny.&#8221;
Kelly added that the show also includes comedian Roseanne Barr, who plays Principal Bortles. Burguiere describes Barr as a legendary comedian, adding, &#8220;It&#8217;s really cool that this is happening, and maybe this is the way that this stuff finally gets turned around.&#8221;
&#8220;Mr. Birchum,&#8221; which is set to be released in 2024, also features Alonzo Bodden (Gage), Brett Cooper (Jeanie), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), and Rob Riggle (Gunderson).
“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” said Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire. “Of course Hollywood wouldn’t make Birchum today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.

Just days after dropping a viral trailer for its first feature-length comedy, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers">Lady Ballers</a>,” the Daily Wire announced its first animated scripted series, “Mr. Birchum,” created by comedian Adam Carolla.
The teaser trailer, which was first screened at the “Lady Ballers” red carpet premiere, will be released before the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers">premiere of “Lady Ballers”</a> on Friday, December 1, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET exclusively on DailyWire+. “Mr. Birchum” features an all-star voice cast: Adam Carolla (Mr. Birchum), Megyn Kelly (Wendi), Tyler Fischer (Karponzi), Alonzo Bodden (Gage), Brett Cooper (Jeanie), Candace Owens (Deena), Kyle Dunnigan (Eddie), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).
“I am super excited to be working with my friends Ben Shapiro, Jeremy Boreing, and our terrific cast of talent to bring ‘Mr Birchum’ to life on the Daily Wire!” said Carolla.
“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” said Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire. “Of course Hollywood wouldn’t make Birchum today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.  We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends.”
WATCH THE TEASER TRAILER FOR ‘MR. BIRCHUM’ BEFORE THE PREMIERE OF ‘LADY BALLERS’ TONIGHT AT 8 PM ET.  
The series follows Carolla’s classic character, a no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher. Popularized on KROQ radio and brought to life in puppet form on Comedy Central’s ‘Crank Yankers,’ Mr. Birchum has entertained audiences for decades. In 2024, the animated version of Mr. Birchum attempts to navigate a world he doesn’t understand or approve of. He’s befuddled by his gaming streamer son, Eddie (Dunnigan), annoyed at his selfie-taking, snowflake students and is constantly at war with the school district’s appointed “J.E.D.I.” (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion officer) Mr. Karponzi (Fischer), whose feelings-over-facts style of administration is everything that’s wrong with education today. 
This is DailyWire+’s first animated comedy, produced by David Coleman for Daily Wire and Dallas Sonnier for Bonfire Legend, with Daily Wire’s co-founders Jeremy Boreing and Ben Shapiro and CEO Caleb Robinson executive producing. Chassy Media is the physical production Company for the show. Executive Producers for Chassy Media are Adam Carolla and Mike August along with Showrunner/Executive Producer Nate Adams and Supervising Producer Curtis Koller. Mike Lynch is the head writer for the show with additional episodes written by Byron Kavanagh and Mark Hoffmeier.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-owens">Candace Owens</a> appeared on Adam Carolla’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rpO2gzEm1A&amp;t=2548s">podcast</a> to talk about how she made “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/convicting-a-murderer">Convicting a Murderer</a>” to seek out the truth rather than pursuing a single narrative by hiding facts like “Making a Murderer” did.
The 2015 Netflix <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/documentary">documentary</a> exploded in popularity as viewers became convinced that Steven Avery had been wrongly convicted for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. Owens said she originally doubted Avery’s guilt until she did some digging, which included her finding a ton of information that filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos left out.
Carolla said these types of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">projects</a> are often “cooked” in a way that’s more subversive because it’s not as obvious as straight-up fictional movies, which viewers usually know aren’t real. “You can shape a documentary any way you want,” Carolla said during the podcast episode which aired Monday. 
“I think that the common perception when you’re watching a documentary is that, ‘This is true.’ For some reason, we trust a documentary more,” Owens agreed. 
She also mentioned how documentary filmmakers are also trusted more as a rule. And it helped that Steven Avery was wrongly convicted of rape before he was convicted of murder, which automatically helped make him a sympathetic character. 
Owens called it a “perfect atmosphere” to cast doubt on the guilty conviction. 
Carolla and Owens also discussed how average viewers couldn’t understand how someone who had been wrongly imprisoned for 12 years would commit a crime so soon after being released. But both agreed that this line of thinking was trying to “rationalize the irrational.” 
They said criminals commit crimes even though it’s not logical. That’s what makes them criminals. 
Owens said the difference between her documentary and &#8220;MAM&#8221; is that it uncovers the “dark history” Avery had, including grotesque animal abuse and escalating crimes leading up to Halbach’s murder. The “CAM” creator said these types of “inconvenient facts” were left out of the Netflix series because they didn’t fit the narrative.
During their conversation, Carolla and Owens noted how two women made the documentary, which they agreed makes it more susceptible to ignoring facts in favor of emotion because women are naturally more emotion-driven.
“We obviously live under a matriarchy,” Owens insisted, which Carolla agreed to. She went on to say how the same feminists “screaming about the patriarchy” are actually the ones in charge and are driving the radical social movements so prevalent in modern society.

An independent bookstore in England has reacted to going viral after the shop&#8217;s window display showed copies of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/silence-is-betrayal-prince-harry-sits-down-with-60-minutes-ahead-of-memoir-release">Prince Harry&#8217;s</a> new tell-all memoir next to a novel called &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kill-Your-Family-Bella-Mackie/dp/0008365911">How To Kill Your Family</a>.&#8221;
The owner of Bert&#8217;s Books in Swindon, Alex Call, shared that staff thought the idea of showing the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-carolla-posts-bookstores-window-display-that-torches-prince-harrys-new-book">Duke of Sussex&#8217;s</a> book &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spare-Prince-Harry-Duke-Sussex/dp/0593593804/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_w=aOKmf&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.f05f10a7-d30f-4cc9-9521-a1dfe37686ab&amp;pf_rd_p=f05f10a7-d30f-4cc9-9521-a1dfe37686ab&amp;pf_rd_r=HY87QR33WKSQXD4JHQ4V&amp;pd_rd_wg=nYPOF&amp;pd_rd_r=bbf9c86b-1329-410f-a50a-32c8944f2384&amp;ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi">Spare</a>&#8221; next to Bella Mackie&#8217;s publication would be &#8220;quite light-hearted and make a few people smile,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-wiltshire-64227200">BBC</a> reported. Mackie&#8217;s fictional book is about a girl who decides to enact revenge on her entire family and kill every one of them.
&#8220;It&#8217;s been interesting today how people have projected some very different meanings onto this picture,&#8221; a <a href="https://twitter.com/bertsbooks/status/1612843834668367874?s=20&amp;t=LTd3UV8gJcQ6nF7KgfipNw">tweet</a> from Bert&#8217;s Book&#8217;s read.
&#8220;Some have thought I&#8217;m supporting Harry, others think I&#8217;m doing the opposite,&#8221; it added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t really have strong opinions either way, tbh.&#8221;

One person who works in the shop, Michael Ritchie, said despite the book being in all the headlines, its high price (more than $34 U.S. dollars) would discourage people from buying it, the outlet noted.
&#8220;The price is £28 which I think is quite steep for a book,&#8221; Ritchie shared. &#8220;People will go &#8216;actually I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m going to pay for that or (I&#8217;ll) wait for the paperback.'&#8221;
He also told the outlet he predicts the book&#8217;s sales would &#8220;last for a week or two and then just fade.&#8221;

Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-carolla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Carolla</a> posted a photo of a bookstore display that torched Prince Harry over the release of his new tell-all memoir, titled “Spare.”
The 58-year-old actor and podcaster shared the photo of a window display created by a bookstore clerk that made clear the person wasn&#8217;t a fan of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-harry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duke of Sussex&#8217;s</a> new book.
&#8220;This bookstore clerk has a great sense of humor,&#8221; Carolla <a href="https://twitter.com/adamcarolla/status/1612878930100514822?s=20&amp;t=feO-6zAx6HMIMjBUOnlRyQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> to his hundreds of thousands of followers on Tuesday.
The tweet included an image of the prince&#8217;s memoir mixed in with another book titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kill-Your-Family-Bella-Mackie/dp/0008365911" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How To Kill Your Family</a>&#8221; by Bella Mackie, apparently in an attempt to compare her fictional work with the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/silence-is-betrayal-prince-harry-sits-down-with-60-minutes-ahead-of-memoir-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">duke&#8217;s</a> book in which he criticizes his brother and sister-in-law, the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as his father King Charles III.

&#8220;Spare&#8221; is listed as a non-fiction memoir in which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-discloses-genitalia-frostbite-in-tell-all-book-spare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Harry</a> &#8220;tells his own story, chronicling his journey with raw, unflinching honesty. A landmark publication, &#8216;Spare&#8217; is full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spare-Prince-Harry-Duke-Sussex/dp/0593593804/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_w=aOKmf&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.f05f10a7-d30f-4cc9-9521-a1dfe37686ab&amp;pf_rd_p=f05f10a7-d30f-4cc9-9521-a1dfe37686ab&amp;pf_rd_r=HY87QR33WKSQXD4JHQ4V&amp;pd_rd_wg=nYPOF&amp;pd_rd_r=bbf9c86b-1329-410f-a50a-32c8944f2384&amp;ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amazon</a> description notes.
Mackie&#8217;s book is a fiction-thriller described by one critic as &#8220;funny, sharp, dark, and twisted.&#8221;
&#8220;When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother&#8217;s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family,&#8221; a description from GoodReads <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50224049-how-to-kill-your-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> about Mackie&#8217;s book.
&#8220;Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder,&#8221; it adds.
At the time of this publication, the tweet has been viewed nearly 200,000 times and counting.
Reading through the comments underneath Carolla&#8217;s post, the view from the majority of his followers was that the photo was &#8220;hilarious&#8221; and &#8220;amazing.&#8221; One person described the tweet, calling Harry &#8220;a traitor to his family.&#8221;
