Summary

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor and cultural icon Steve Guttenberg calls in! Adam kicks things off by asking Steve about his experience during the Palisades fires, and the two dive into the state’s slow and confusing rebuilding efforts. Adam praises Guttenberg’s classic film Diner, and they share stories about their early days breaking into the entertainment business. Steve recalls his time at The Groundlings, where he met the legendary Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman), and they discuss the 40th anniversary of Police Academy. Adam asks Steve what kind of sandwiches his mom used to make for him growing up, then delivers Steve his earth-shattering sandwich rating.

Later, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins Adam for the news. First, they break down a bizarre story out of the Hollywood Hills where a suspected arsonist was caught in the act and stopped by fitness influencers on the Runyon Canyon hiking trail. Firefighters had to deploy both ground and aerial resources to contain the blaze, which had already spread to a quarter-acre. Then, they discuss a shocking double homicide in Encino involving longtime American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca. Police responded to a welfare check and discovered both victims dead in their home, with signs pointing to a violent home invasion days earlier. A 22-year-old suspect has been arrested and is facing murder charges as the LAPD continues its investigation.

Get it on.
