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.Get it on.FOR MORE TOM PELPHREY:TV SHOW: Task - September 7, 2025 on HBOINSTAGRAM: @tommypelphreyTWITTER: @tompelphreyFOR MORE WITH DEBBIE GIBSON: BOOK: Eternally Electric - Available Sept 9, 2025NEW SONG: Legendary TOUR: "Newstalgia Live Greatest Hits & Beyond"INSTAGRAM: @debbiegibson Thank you for supporting our sponsors:Get $10 Off at BRUNT with code ADAM at https://www.bruntworkwear.com/ADAM #BruntpodHomes.comMASAChips.com/CAROLLAoreillyauto.com/ADAMSIMPLISAFE.COM/ADAMPluto.tvLIVE SHOWS: September 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I don't know what in the heck is going on at Carolla Digital or with my podcast app, but this is the first release of the Adam Carolla Show I've received since March, and it's a dang Classics episode. I like em and all, but I want my daily ACS. It's been 15 years on a daily basis, and I don't like change. Grumpy face.
Did anyone else get these shoes late, or was it just me? I didn't get a show Mon or Tues, and then 2 drop at once on Wed. And the shows weren't on Ace's website either, cause I checked.
