The conversation also turns to Donald Trump’s first term in office, exploring how insiders in his administration were secretly working against him. Ralph Pezzullo shares insights from his new book, Stolen Elections: The Plot to Destroy Democracy, which exposes threats to democratic institutions worldwide and calls for vigilance, reform, and a renewed commitment to democratic values.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off by sounding off on a bizarre story about a woman who discovered swastika-shaped tiling in her basement and is now suing the home seller for not disclosing it. Adam calls out the performative outrage behind her lawsuit and shares his own frustrations with the culture of virtue signaling. He also plays a clip from one of his recent vlogs, where he visited Home Depot and criticized the city of Malibu for its overly restrictive regulations regarding the cutting of pressure-treated lumber.  In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to cover the biggest trending headlines, starting with Ilhan Omar’s explosive financial disclosures revealing a net worth of up to $30 million—despite her repeated claims that she is “not a millionaire.” They also react to the retirement announcement of one of the Democrats’ longest-serving House members, and break down the viral moment when Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek snatched a signed hat from a child at the US Open. Szczerek has since issued a public apology, but Adam and Elisha question whether that’s enough to undo the bad optics of the viral footage. Later, author Stayton Bonner and private investigator Joe Ford stop by to discuss The Million-Dollar Car Detective: Inside the Worldwide Hunt for a Stolen $7 Million Car. Joe and Stayton recount the incredible real-life heist of a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Teardrop coupe—one of the rarest and most beautiful cars in existence—and the decades-long investigation that followed. They share how the trail went cold for years before Joe got a tip that reignited the search, leading to an international chase involving the FBI, Interpol, and a global crime ring. Along the way, Adam gets Joe’s take on other legendary missing cars, including James Dean’s infamous Porsche.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor Tom Pelphrey stops by the studio! Adam and Tom dive into Tom’s early career, starting with soap operas, which Tom describes as a kind of boot camp for actors. The conversation shifts to his relationship with Kaley Cuoco and the massive success of The Big Bang Theory, with Adam pointing out the lack of hit three-camera sitcoms since. They also discuss the importance of turning off your phone, staying present, and finding purpose in productive work. Tom asks Adam about his tough upbringing and whether it contributed to his success, leading to a candid exchange about Adam’s transition from radio to podcasting and the financial struggles of building his show in the early days. Later, singer, songwriter, and actress Debbie Gibson joins the studio to talk about her new book Eternally Electric: The Message in My Music. She reflects on the challenges of writing an autobiography at this stage in her career and the whirlwind of finding fame at such a young age. Debbie explains how she hustled her way into the music industry by performing in small clubs, the sacrifices she made to protect her artistic integrity, and the pressure she faced from record producers to change her style. She also opens up about how touring has evolved over the years, how fame affected her when she was young, and what it was like to meet her musical heroes, including Elton John, George Michael, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Rudy Pavich joins Adam to break down the latest headlines, starting with Snoop Dogg admitting he was caught off guard when his grandson asked about a same-sex couple in Pixar’s Lightyear. The hosts of The Breakfast Club weighed in, defending Snoop’s concerns over LGBTQ themes in children’s movies. Adam and Rudy also discuss a viral video of a North Carolina mom who physically restrained a suspected Italian pickpocket for nearly an hour, Delta’s $79 million settlement with Los Angeles residents over a 2020 jet fuel dump, and the news that former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler has been sentenced to jail time following a DUI and gun possession arrest. Later, criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos stops by the studio to talk about his involvement in the Menendez brothers case, which he says Adam inadvertently influenced him to take on. Mark explains what made the brothers’ recent parole hearing so frustrating, and he and Adam debate whether the Menendez brothers still pose a danger to society or if they’ve served enough time for their crimes. The conversation turns to the role politics may have played in the case, whether Governor Gavin Newsom could pardon the brothers, and what happens next. Adam also gets Mark’s take on the ongoing P. Diddy case, as well as a tragic accident involving an immigrant truck driver whose illegal U-turn resulted in multiple deaths. Get it on.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor Lou Diamond Phillips stops by the studio to share stories from his life and career. Lou opens up about the origins of his name, the strange ways fans insist they’ve met him before, and his love of cooking for family and friends. He recalls making sandwiches his mom would make him as a kid, working at Whataburger and even preparing lunch for Willie Nelson, and the worst job he ever had. Lou also dives into Hollywood life, from his early days being cast in Hispanic roles despite not being Hispanic, to getting dragged 100 yards behind a horse on the set of Young Guns 2, and talks with Adam about how hard it is to make a good comedic film or TV show. Later, stand-up comedian Mike Vecchione and MMA personality Jason “Mayhem” Miller join Adam in the studio. They kick things off talking about the myth that white people don’t want to work the typical manual labor jobs that immigrants take, and compare sports in high school back then to today, where schools make special accommodations for kids who aren’t as athletic. Adam shares a brutal story about being rejected when he tried asking a girl out, while Mike and Mayhem weigh in on the challenges of growing up and competing in those environments. Adam also asks Mayhem for his take on the Raja Jackson situation. In the news, Mayhem joins Adam and Mike Vecchione to discuss the week’s trending headlines. They cover Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, joking about the couple as “your English teacher and your gym teacher getting married,” and react to Burning Man 2025’s Orgy Dome being destroyed by fierce desert winds, with organizers vowing to rebuild.  Get it on.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Dana Gould joins Adam in the studio! Adam praises Dana for being one of the few comics beloved across the board before diving into his legendary career writing for The Simpsons and Seth MacFarlane’s Ted. Dana reflects on his love for writing, the different career paths he could have taken, and how the “hero’s journey” became the template for nearly every Hollywood movie. The two share their admiration for Albert Brooks and the classic film Defending Your Life, reminisce about old favorites like Smokey and the Bandit, and even discuss the sad sight of abandoned buildings scattered across the desert on the drive to Vegas. Dana also discusses his conscious decision to be extra polite in traffic and the reasons behind it.  Later, Adam explains why he regularly blows through red left-turn arrows, makes the case for why the laws around them are ridiculous, and tells the story of running a red on PCH right next to a fire truck full of firefighters. That sparks a bigger conversation about people’s inverted relationships with rules and authority, as Adam and Dana break down how modern culture often treats common sense like a liability. Along the way, they explore how shifts in comedy, film, and everyday life reflect broader changes in society, giving the episode a mix of humor, nostalgia, and sharp social commentary. Get it on.
