So, the original idea for the show was going to be about another accused pedophile, and honestly, we just wanted to talk about something else. So what better topic to discuss with 40-something year-old white guys, than the history or diss tracks and rap battles? This show just isn't a revisit of Biggie vs. Tupac, it's breakdown of the history of the rap battle. Did you know the public, verbal "dissing" between people has been around for a long time? And of course, we dive into the current frenzy of Kendrick vs. Drake. Chiggity check your mic and get ready for this episode of AHC Podcast!

The British have seemed to corner the market for celebrity TV personalities that can be more or less classified, as pric*s.  We’ve already done a show on Gordon Ramsey, I’ve heard that the second-best Bond, Pierce Brosnan, can be a bit of a jerk, and today’ show subject has made a name for himself not only in the music business but with his snarky putdowns.  Simon Cowell was a star in the UK before coming to the US in the early 2000’s and the show he brought with him, American Idol, took the US by storm.  It wasn’t just the singers and their stories that people enjoyed, Simon stole the show with his sharp criticism and dream-crushing comments.  We all seemed to enjoy it, but did the contestants?  What other collateral damage might we have seen over the years with all his different shows?  What is it like being friends with him?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credits: FAYZED - MATRIX - Hard Flute Type Beat - Trap Instrumental Beat [ FREE NO COPYRIGHT MUSIC ] Track:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHAzr77s5Qs&list=PLxtj0Fzm7DkhQlXlBXVot_xbqjdcn8N_k&index=15 License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Support FAYZED: youtube / @retroblue69696  Instagram / ricky_fayzed     Citations: Armstrong, L.

We’ve seen a few of our courtroom contestants meet their maker, as we all will one day, after we release the episode where they are the subject.  Just recently, OJ Simpson, passed away and lots of people made one final dig at The Juice.  Many would say it was well-deserved for what most view as him “getting off” for killing his ex-wife and her friend, but some still say that if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit. In this episode, we’ll reboot our OJ show and tell his story one more time.  Enjoy!     Intro Music Credits: [ SHORT BEAT NO COPYRIGHT HIP HOP ] [FREEUSE MUSIC] Sports and Car Energetic Trap - Alex Productions License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

Once we got done with our Update Show a couple months ago, we thought we had done a good job of getting everyone caught up on some of shenanigans our subjects had gotten into since we did their show. And I mean, we couldn’t leave Steven Seagal sitting where he was in our final ratings. But then came the absolutely insane stories about Sean “P Diddy” Combs just weeks after our Update Show.  The stories coming out are absolutely nuts and the names involved make this story even more salacious. So, we decided to revisit P Diddy and his latest escapades and allegations.  How deep do these allegations run and how many celebrities are just hoping and praying their name doesn’t come out?  Is Diddy the monster he’s been made out to be?  C’mon Usher, why is your name in all this?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credits: Dark, Rap, Trap, Instrumental Beat [No Copyright Sound] [ FREE USE MUSIC ] - FAYZED - Dead Or Alive License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYPFYi5fL_M&list=PLwc9yMzmTQNWZ7_8mAWAz5-ntgg0vsQ6i&index=2       Citations: Cowen, T.

Howard Stern has been at the top of the radio world for decades, making headlines with his crazy antics and intriguing interviews. His shows have remained at the top of the ratings, but as both he and his antics have aged, the show isn’t quite as insane as it once was.  And it was those older shows that made the headlines and Howard a pile of money in the meantime.  But how far is too far?  Has Howard toed the line one too many times for some fans?  We’ll dive into this guy’s crazy story in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: The Joker - Hip Hop - Royalty Free Music Produced by Danya Vodovoz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz2XCAr0rc0&list=PLq4r2IOXma9DSwR-JOVaCm3uqYrqwhV1x&index=17 Royalty Free Music       Citations: Buffa, D.

Have you ever had a friend or someone you know recommend a movie that you’ve never heard of, and they “swear it’s unbelievable”, and it really is terrific?  What if someone told you that the coolest person that ever lived, passed away before America even became a country?  Many would say, “no chance”, but they may not have heard the story of John Law.  Law was like a 17-century gambler and economist who pretty much invented the idea of centralized banking and at one point may have been the richest man in the world.  How do you think this guy was cool? What caused his downfall?  If this guy is so cool, how come I’ve never heard of him?

“Men want to be him, and women want to be with him”, that line couldn’t have been more fitting for the show subject in this episode, Hugh Hefner.  Hugh was a pioneer in the porno world and his creation, Playboy, was the introduction of naked women to many in the American public.  Hugh lived the life that many only dream of, and it seems as though all the stories have a ring of truth to them, both good and bad.  As you can only imagine, the shenanigans that went on at the world’s wildest party house can only be left to the imagination.  But did things go to far?  What kind of craziness could have led to trouble?  What did it smell like in the infamous Grotto?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: [No Copyright Sound] Beat [ Hip-Hop, Instrumental, Rap ] [ FREE USE ] - Unwritten Stories - Flowers License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...   Support Unwritten Stories: https://soundcloud.com/unwritten-stories/tracks / tracks  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkUe6tctg4HJLp2jC47AMBg / @unwrittenstories2171  https://www.facebook.com/creative.commons.beats     Citations: Hugh Hefner - wife, Children & Death.

In the 4+ years we've been discussing the many subjects in our courtroom, it's very much come to our attention that some of our older scores may not align with where we are now. How we got to some of the earlier scores, we can't really explain, but we'll chalk it up to alcohol and inexperience. But we're here to make it right! In this episode, we are going to dive into updates on a number of people we've discussed in the past, as well as go back and make a few scores right. And and of course we're going to talk about one of our biggest misses of all time, Steven Seagal. This was one of our favorite episodes to record, enjoy!

If you are a celebrity, I would imagine the goal for your career would be to ride out your prime years and then gracefully age out into Hollywood history.  There may be some bumps along the way, but if you can avoid that big blowup, it should be smooth sailing.  And then there are those that don’t quite have that made-for-tv ending.  Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman, was killing it career-wise when it all came to a screeching halt after a night out at the local theater.  Problem was, it wasn’t the kind of place you would pick for a date night to catch a Marvel flick… The number of jokes that followed were countless, but Pee Wee quit.  We saw him a few more times before more trouble popped up and that pretty much did it for the character so many of us grew up watching.  But was Pee Wee the perv everyone made him out to be?  How did the character even come to be?  What was he thinking when he went to the flick show that fateful night?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: "MBB - Wake up" is under a Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA 3.0) / mbbmusic  Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/wake-up-song       Citations: Alter, E.

Some of the subjects in our courtroom may require a little jog of the memory when you first hear of the person, others not so much.  And unless you’ve been living under a rock or in a coma for the last 10 years, Taylor Swift is a name you probably have heard much about, regardless of your taste in music.  The hardworking star has been topping the charts for about a decade, and probably the most remarkable thing about her, is that she has seemed to avoid that one big blowup.  But are there stories behind Tay Tay that the public isn’t in the know about that may cast a different light on her?  How did she get her big break?  Did Travis Kelce really put her on the map when he decided to be her boyfriend?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro music credits: Modern Pop / Rock Instrumental (Journey Guitars) NEW 2021 [prod.by Percy Arnold] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOktAsWl3oI https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8VsDGNJit-E1Zu7fJCY1rg     Citations: Coroneos, T.

When you think of the “mastermind” behind successful things, you usually find someone with a high level of education, decent business sense, and most importantly, a good idea.  Al Capone ran the largest organized crime ring in Chicago in the 20’s with the education of a 6th grader, a penchant for violence, and an idea that’s been tried many times.  But there is something to be said about being in the right place at the right time. Capone was one of the first “dons” to take his underworld fame to the public eye.  But was the cavalier attitude of the original Scarface what eventually brought him down?  How many dudes did this guy kill to climb our charts?  What kind of damage can with done with all those rendezvous with ladies of the night?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Al Capone episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: Royalty Free 1920s Music 01 · 1920s Music Firm Royalty Free 1920s Music, Vol. 2 (Special Edition) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwT72vi2VD0&list=OLAK5uy_kXLDxl2ax0rV152qLGkXRKir5r8n9u3NM&index=1       Citations: Al Capone, the most famous American gangster in the world was of Anglo origins. .

“Back in my day…” is a phrase we are staring to hear more and more as the advancement of society continues to move forward at breakneck speed.  Hearing stories of the “old days” when times were more simple and stresses were different, brings many folks back to the friendly days of childhood.  The phrase “times were different then” seem to be a common mask nowadays for culturally inappropriate behavior, racism, sexism, and anything else that was cool then, but is frowned upon these days.  When talking about the subject of this show, there is pretty much no way to even get through the discussion without the overarching phrase “times were different then” looming overhead.  Genghis Khan was the head of one of the largest empires in human history, stretching from eastern China to central Europe, and the way he governed and overtook those in his way, carved out his place in history and most likely Hell.  Brutal murders, savage overtaking, mass expansion and spreading his seed was the formula for Genghis, and his success has literally been the subject of books, movies, and the study of war.  How brutal was he really? Did the folks in his way have an option, or were they just destined to either be knocked up or knocked out?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Genghis Khan episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credit: "yangkaiji - Emperor's Battle" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0) license.  / yangkaiji  Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: 🌏 Oriental & Epic (Royalty Free Music...     Citations: 8 brutal acts of Genghis Khan and his successors.

It’s always sad when the world loses someone too soon, and the music world seems to lose people at the age of 27 in a freakishly odd rate. Many of these talents were generation and changed the landscape of the current time and this show’s subject is no exception.  Kurt Cobain was seemingly at the top of the world when the stress and fame seemed to unravel his life.  There are many conspiracies around his death, but the story leading up to it is just as interesting.  How might his childhood have played a part in his all of his anger issues?  Is Courtney Love the basis of all of these songs?  What would Kurt Cobain look like now?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHFC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: TeknoAXE's Royalty Free Music January Grunge Love Fest - Grunge/Rock - Royalty Free Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXZR8BuaQ-0         Citations: Azerrad, M.

You’ve got to be dedicated to make the decision to go off the grid.  The reasons people go off the grid differ, most are pretty insane, but some are just looking for a place to hide. The subject of today’s show, Ted Kaczynski - The Unabomber, was a mixture of both.  The Unabomber’s randomness of targets and timing had America on edge and had Kaczynski at the top of the FBI’s Most Wanted list.  The way his story played out is interesting, but was the manifesto he wrote as insane as most think?  Well yes, but how did he get to this point in life?  We’ll dive into this and more in this explosive episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Download Free: / sad_guitar  TIK TOK [No Copyright Sound] Sad Guitar - Aries Beats - [FREE USE MUSIC, Sad Piano Beat, Instrumental] Let's type 100,000 followers.

The evolution of TV and media is moving rapidly and the number of viewing options we’ve got these days is just insane.  We’ve seen things change over time, some for bad, some for good, but the invention of trash TV is one thing that appears here to stay.  One of the figures that is on the Mt. Rushmore of trash TV, and the subject of today’s show, made paternity tests fun again and finally hung it up a few years ago. Maury Povich is synonymous with the likes of Jerry Spinger and Geraldo and stamped his show with the famous, “you ARE or ARE NOT the father” DNA test antics.  But were there antics off set that caused an issues?  How many guys would you need to sleep with to hold the record for most tests on the show?  We’ll answer these questions and more in the Maury Povich episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: [ Tropical House Type Beat ] Vlog Travel Instrumental [FREE NO COPYRIGHT MUSIC] MBB & ASHUTOSH - Sky License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...       Citations: Baldwin, M.

There are many iconic images that stick with people over time, and the DeLorean DMC-12 whizzing through town to take Marty McFly Back to the Future is definitely one of those.  We didn’t see too much of the DeLorean automobile in general.  Why is that?  Who the heck is DeLorean anyway?  John DeLorean made his way through the automotive industry, gaining acclaim for his work at GM.  Once he went out on his own, history was made, but the long-term prospects weren’t good.  Why didn’t the DeLorean pan out?  How fast did Marty McFly need to get up to in order to fly off?  Did DeLorean get the shaft in the end?  We’ll dive into this and more in the John DeLorean episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: (FREE) Hard Trap Banger Type Beat - "Woah" (Prod.

The title of “King” has been around awhile, and as time goes on, it seems to have definitely lost its luster.  Being the King of Rock and Roll, or the King of Pop, those seemed to have stuck.  But in the age of social media the desire to have followers and likes, it feels like the “King” title is getting thrown around a little loosely to gain attention.  Enter this show’s subject, The Liver King. The Liver King, aka Brian Johnson, has taken to his social media platform to promote his ancestral way of living and the line of supplements he sells to make him look like the real-life version of The Incredible Hulk.  But, as with most things, everything seemed too good to be true.  Is the diet that Liver King promotes, bull testicles, raw animal organs, and of course, liver, actually going to provide all the things your body needs?  How in God’s name do you choke something like that down?  How did he afford his massive steroid habit?  We’ll dive into this and much more in the Liver King episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Short Sport Trap - Instrumental Beat [ FREE NO COPYRIGHT MUSIC ] - Alex-Productions - LUXURY License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/ Support Alex- Productions: https://soundcloud.com/alexproduction... @alexproductionsnocopyright  https://www.instagram.com/aylexmusicx... https://audiojungle.net/user/alex-pro... https://alex-productions.bandcamp.com/   Track lengthened to fit intro         Citations: Brayton, R.

On this show, a person’s score is bound to be high when their image is what an entire generation of people think of when they hear the phrase, “bad guy”.  Saddam Hussein cemented his status in history as one of these bag guys, with his ruthless dictatorship of Iraq, including the murder and torture of many of his own people.  He made the mortal mistake of pushing the limit one too many times, and was one of the first public executions the world was able to view in a long time.  How high on the scale will Saddam land?  Were his kids even worse than him?  Was he able to catch any royalties off that bad guy image along the way?  Check out all this and more the in Saddam Hussein episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Turkish Music Free Royalty - Turkey - Ald No Copyright Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iJ5dLG30Z8&list=PLzAjbIkNoEMk0v3jtnOTcPgvivo7_lTGh&index=15       Citations: Anderson, J., & Atta, D.

If you ask a small child what they want to be when they grow up, odds are you will get the answer from some, “the richest person in the world”.  Well, there can only be one of those people at any given time and the subject of today’s show is not only chart-topping rich, but he’s also changed the way the world buys things.  Jeff Bezos started Amazon from a garage in Seattle and has transformed it into something many of us depend on to get pretty much everything we buy, from paper towels to sex toys.  But how has Bezos, along with his company, Amazon, transformed over the years to keep up?  What kind of stuff do you buy when you’re the richest man in the world?  How much does it cost to transform into an X-Men bad guy lookalike?  We’ll dive into this and more in the Jeff Bezos episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credit: Song: "Ryan Little - Wake." under a (CC BY-SA 3.0) license.

Some stars get their start from a very young age.  Many are born into the show biz world, others have parents that saw that special “something” in their kids from an early age and got them in front of the right people.  Some people seem to blossom later in life, and small part after small part, eventually turns into stardom.  Then, there are stories like the subject of today’s show subject, Chris Pratt.  We’ll dive into how he got his big break in Hollywood and try to figure out why he’s been one of our most requested shows.  Has all this fame and fortune changed who he is as a person?  Is he really this funny or is he just a pretty face reading someone else’s jokes?  We’re going to touch on all this and more in the Chris Pratt episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: "Topher Mohr and Alex Elena - Hot Heat [Rock]" is free to use.

Many of the trendsetters from a couple decades ago have started to see the sun set on their careers.  Whether it’s just a lack of work for an aging star or doing something dumb and getting cancelled.  Then there are those that withstand the test of time, adapt and change with new generations, and figure out how to last. We’ve covered many of these folks on our show before and we’ll add another to the list today, Sean Puff Daddy Puffy P Diddy Diddy Combs. While Diddy made his many names in the music world, his business ventures outside of music have really added to his cash stash.  But on his way to the top, Puffy has found his way into the news for a number of reasons.  It’s a mix of gangster rap stuff, graduating over the years into a dad defending his son.  But has it all been on the up and up, or has Diddy really been a Bad Boy, like he started out?  How was he linked to Biggie Small’s murder?  What do he and Nick Cannon have in common?  We’re going to dive into these questions and a whole lot more in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: [No Copyright Sound] Old Times - Aries Beats - [ FREE USE MUSIC, Creative Commons, Rap, Hip Hop, Sad, Old School,  Instrumental Beat ] License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...         Citations: Ausiello, M.

The pastors of mega churches are a different breed of people.  We’ve covered a number of them here on AHC Podcast, and the scandals discussed, and corresponding scores seem to shed some of the light on the true work of these “men of the pulpit”.  This episode is about perhaps the most famous of the predatory preachers, Joel Osteen.  With tycoon-type wealth and a following in the millions, it does seem that Osteen has brought good to a lot of people.  But have the private jets and suits worth 3 mortgage payments all come to him in good faith?  Is there more to this Tim Allen/Martin Short look-alike than we know?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more on this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: "Sappheiros - Embrace" is under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) / sappheiros  Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://bit.ly/embrace-song       Citations: Bowler, K.

The #MeToo Movement has brought forward several contestants to the AHC Courtroom, but in this episode, we summon the white whale of the group, Bill Cosby.  With a career lasting back to the 1960’s, Cosby was a pioneer in the TV industry before he became America’s favorite Dad – and then that squeaky clean image he worked so hard to maintain, all went away.  With the accusation of sexual assault from scores of women dating back decades, and the eventual conviction of one, Cosby has fallen so far from the top where he once sat.  Was there any truth to Cosby’s claims of innocence?  What was Bill’s drug dealer thinking about when all this came to light?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more in the Bill Cosby episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credits: [No Copyright Sound] Trap Beat [Hip Hop, Rap, Instrumental] [ FREE USE MUSIC ] - FAYZED - Visionary Download Free: https://soundcloud.com/fayzed/visionary License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...   Support FAYZED: https://soundcloud.com/fayzededm/tracks / @fayzed2989  https://www.instagram.com/ricky_fayzed/ http://shop.spreadshirt.ca/FayZed/ https://fayzededm.bandcamp.com/ https://www.twine.fm/FayZedEDM     Citations: BBC.

The Waco Siege was an insane standoff between the Branch Davidians and the US government.  What started as an attempt to see what was going on inside the infamous compound, turned into a months-long horror story that still has America talking today.  The leader of that cult and the subject of today’s show, David Koresh, can rightfully be classified as a monster, but what was it that drew his followers to him?  Was it his insane, ultra-conservative message?  The idea that he was the second coming of God?  Was it that curly head of hair, paired with the pedo glasses?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more in the David Koresh episode of AHC Podcast.   Want to help the AHC Boys get to Denver?  Any and all help and support is appreciated! https://gofund.me/70060003       Intro Music Credits: [ GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL BEAT ] Sad Rock [FREE USE MUSIC] Punch Deck - I Cant Stop Support Punch Deck: https://soundcloud.com/punch-deck/tracks  / @punchdeck  https://open.spotify.com/artist/7kddu...

Most of us have jobs that, if televised, may not make for great TV.  Let’s face it, taking phone calls at your desk, laying concrete, or meeting with a customer doesn’t really rake in the ratings.  But, some of the more interesting jobs are accentuated by even more interesting characters.  Enter someone like the subject of this episode, Gordon Ramsay.   While cooking shows have captured audiences for decades, Ramsay has taken the celebrity chef status to the next level.  His restaurant empire stretches around the world, but other than his food, what is he best known for?  That fiery temper of his.  There have been a lot of conversations around its authenticity and how it plays well for TV, but is it the real Gordon?  With all the success he’s had, are there some skeletons in the kitchen closet that we may not really hear about?  We’ll dive into this and much more in the Gordon Ramsay episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: Rock Guitar Type Beat, Instrumental [ FREE NO COPYRIGHT MUSIC ] Punch Deck - Maximalism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdoySFE_mrw&list=PLxtj0Fzm7Dkjhinb2bBHoQUyqxDUGKM-w&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/@WorldwideBeats       Citations: 60 minutes Official Website - Australia’s leading current affairs program: Latest News, stories and headlines: Nine.com.au.

To be called the King or Queen of something, you’ve got to have the public buy-in for it to stick.  The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, or Lebron “King” James, and don’t forget the Sausage King of Chicago, Abe Froman.  But for many, if you just reference “The King”, Elvis Presley, will come to mind.  Elvis was a larger-than-life celebrity in his prime and more has been documented about him than most US Presidents.  His southern twang and soulful sounds sold millions of albums and those swangin’ hips caused plenty of controversy along the way.  But was it just his gyrations that had everyone up in arms?  Elvis seemed to be a good guy, but is there more to those karate kicks and quaaludes?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more in this rockin’ episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: The Southmark - Minor Kick - Psychobilly/Rockabilly Style Instrumental Epiphone Swingster + Fender Mustang I V.2 + Mixcraft 7 & something mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bm7K_BcKeE&list=PLktdtTNubKSq1KjhXfhjvj22kwijCXNFO&index=15       Citations: Deezen, E.

We’ve had many musicians depart this world far too soon, leaving us wondering what could have been. Today’s show subject, Tupac Shakur, may just be near the top of that list.  From poverty to Poetic Justice, to 2Pacalypse, Shakur showed the world his many talents in the short time he had with us.  But, there seemed to be many different sides of ‘Pac, many we knew about, some perhaps not. Could you imagine a world where Tupac was a Broadway star and not living that thug life?  Maybe one where he stayed in his native New York and actually teamed up with Biggie?  We’re going to dive into this and a whole lot more in this thug-tastic Tupac Shakur episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credits: ♫ OLD SCHOOL G FUNK WEST COAST PIANO & VIOLIN BEAT 2012 [Aries 4Rce BeatZ] Dr Dre Type INSTRUMENTAL By Aries Beats [Free Music] is licensed under a Creative Commons License.     Citations: Chung, J.

Everyone loves a good comeback story, and the subject of this episode is queen of second chances.  Lindsay Lohan went from childhood star to tabloid headline during her late teens.  She went on a spree of run-ins with the law and stints in rehab that put the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Brittany Spears to shame.  But was this all just a string of bad decisions or was there more to the story than what we saw on TMZ and on the magazines in line at the grocery store?

Throughout history, pioneers have blazed trails for new ways of life.  Lewis, Clark, and Sacajawea headed out west, Thomas Edison lit up our lives, and Rosa Parks showed everyone that it doesn’t matter where you sit on the bus.  Today’s show subject is one of the pioneers of the entertainment world and changed the template of TV forever, Jerry Springer.  Love him or hate him, Jerry Springer was must see TV back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.  Kids rushed home from school to tune in to the latest hair-pulling, clothes-ripping fistfight as parents everywhere cringed once they realized what their kids were watching.  With Jerry’s past primarily in law and politics, how did the former Mayor of Cincinnati become one of the most hated men on TV?  Did he know the impact he would have on society as a whole?  Would you try to get Jerry Beads if you went to a taping of the show?  We’ll dive into all this and more in the Jerry Springer episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Liborio Conti VLOG Background Music While Talking | Background Music For Vlogs While Talking | No Copyright https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6gtRAjAa2I         Citations: Ap.

We’re all familiar with the names and faces of the anchors on our local news stations. They provide us with the top stories in the area, the weather, sports, and all the while, intentionally staying (mostly) politically neutral.  Then, there are the cable news stations.  We’re all familiar with their anchor’s names and faces as well, but their agendas are clearly catered to one side of the aisle or the other.  But who is it running the show and determining the message behind the scenes?  How did all this get started anyway?  Rupert Murdoch is one of the pioneers in the cable and TV industry, and the empire he has been able to amass over the years is astounding.  His reach is literally around the globe and in so many different mediums.  But, is the pioneer of political posturing nearing the end of his time?  What is the succession plan for his empire after he kicks his golden bucket?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.             Citations: Dickinson, T.

Have you ever been around someone that just makes you nervous the whole time?  You never know what they are going to do, what they may say, or what kind of trouble YOU may get in just by being around them.  From the image he’s created over the years, Conor McGregor definitely seems like someone you would want to be on your toes around.  He’s knockout out many of people, legally, in the octagon, becoming one of UFC’s most celebrated champions.  But he has a tendency to not keep his hands to himself when playing with others in the sandbox of life, and it’s seems it could start to catch up with him.  Can Conor chill with the public pugilism and enjoy the bookoos of bucks he’s made, or will he find his way into the cancel culture whirlwind?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credits: Title: Fiddle-De-Dee Artist: SilvermanSound Genre: Celtic    "SilvermanSound - Fiddle-De-Dee" is under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0) Music promoted by BreakingCopyright:     'Fiddle-De-Dee' b...   SilvermanSound https://www.silvermansound.com/   BreakingCopyright Twitter: https://twitter.com/BreakingCopy       Citations: Boyd, F.

When life gets tough, some people find themselves reaching out to others for help. In many cases, this is a friend or family member or mentor. But some will reach out to complete strangers who offer advice on how to overcome adversity, improve themselves, or simply cope. Call them whatever you want-- life coach, guru, motivational speaker-- they are not a new phenomenon. In this episode, we dive into the man who is arguably the biggest to ever fill a conference center-- Tony Robbins. Is he a legit force for self-help or just another charlatan?

We’ve touched on a number of celebrities that were child stars on our show, but arguably none of those have risen to the levels of adult superstardom of today’s show subject.  Miley Cyrus went from pre-teen royalty as Hannah Montana, to coming out swinging like a wrecking ball as a young adult.  She’s continued to produce hit album after hit album, all while keeping her name in the news for the craziest of reasons.  But is the Miley we see on TMZ the true depiction of the person?  How does one come to be Hannah Montana?  Has your godmother, Dolly Parton, ever put you in your place?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Miley Cyrus episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: POP Instrumental, Guitar Chill Beat [No Copyright Sound] [ FREE USE MUSIC ] - Niwel - Little Things https://www.youtube.com/@WorldwideBeats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSt90NxCxT0 License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...       Citations: Bacardi, F.

“There’s nothing more American than baseball and apple pie”… if you throw in today’s show subject, you may just have the ultimate American trio.  Dolly Parton has been in the music industry for over 50 years and has sold millions and millions of albums.  She’s worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment and has made a resurgence over the past 10 years or so (probably doesn’t hurt to be Miley Cyrus’ godmother either).  Usually show subjects will have some dirt on them or at least something negative to talk about. Dolly has seemed to dodge the headlines with any nonsense over the years, but is there more to the story of the big-boobed beauty?  Check out this rootin’ tootin’ good time on the latest episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credits: Cryin In My Beer by Audionautix Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

The transformation of individual people is an amazing thing.  As we all grow older and wiser, the lessons we learn and apply in our everyday lives make things easier and less stressful.  Well, this goes for most of us at least.  You still see the 50-year old guy in the mall, rocking an Affliction shirt, spiked hair, jeans with a design on the back pocket, and a pair of Oakley's on the forehead.  The subject of today’s show, Jordan Peterson, didn’t take the Benjamin Button approach to dressing himself, but did take a highly respected career in academia and transform it to be an online influence - who’s started to go off the rails in recent years.  What made the former Harvard professor make the change?  What message does he give that draws such a large audience?  Why so much hate for one group of people?  We’ll dive into this and more in the Jordan Peterson episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart       Citations: Anders Behring Breivik.

We’ve all heard the phrase “jack of all trades, master of none”.  Unfortunately, most of us seem to fall into this category and is the reason WE aren’t the subject of podcasts people listen to.  But we all may know someone that does seem to be quite good at several things.  It’s quite annoying actually, but the respect is there.  The subject of today’s show definitely seems to fit into that latter category.  Joe Rogan has been the face of multiple successful enterprises, stretching over multiple decades now.  As the host of Fear Factor and the color commentator of UFC, these were just a few of the roles that put Rogan in the spotlight.  His podcast, one of the most listened to in the world, has risen his stardom to new levels.  But not everyone is a huge fan.  The platform he provides comes with a lot of responsibility and not all have praised how’s he’s gone about it.  How much control does Joe have over his show?  How much heat does he get from his guests?  How cool was it to smoke weed with Elon Musk?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.   Intro Music Credits: TeknoAXE's Royalty Free Music Tough Guy Inc - Alternative Metal - Royalty Free Music   Citations: 27 Joe Rogan podcast best guests ever [your ultimate joe rogan guide].

The Pilgrims and the Indians laid the groundwork for one of America’s favorite holidays, Thanksgiving.  Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower, weird hats with buckles, and of course, the big feast, painted a picture of harmony and unity between the new settlers and the natives.  But what was this scene really like?  Was the New World the first choice for the Pilgrims?  Did the Pilgrims live up to their end of the bargain to the people that financially backed their voyage?  Fill that paper plate full of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and enjoy this Thanksgiving episode of AHC Podcast.           Music credit: https://audionautix.com/">Creative Commons Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.com   Citations: Cain, Á.

There aren’t many things more American than baseball, apple pie, and John Wayne.  Wayne lived in a time where movie stars were revered, almost as mythical figures, and due to lack of social media, 24/7 coverage, and the good ‘ole boy system.  He dodged the cancel culture by multiple decades, but as the internet has shown, you can’t hide forever.  What could “The Duke” have done to bring him to our courtroom?  Was he a real American hero, or was there a lot more to his war-time story?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.               Intro Music Credits: Wild West by ZitronSound http://bit.ly/2nXGy9W Promoted by MrSnooze https://youtu.be/wTm-WFM0v-g Creative Commons — CC BY-ND 3.0 https://goo.gl/QHshNa   Song shortened to fit intro time                 Citations: Dowell, P.

It’s a story told countless times – star athlete has a great career, wins over the hearts of countless fans with incredible performances, and when it’s time to hang it up, they ride off into the sunset.  Until they pop up in the news a few years later for something like a DUI arrest, or a good ‘ole fashioned assault charge.  You see the mugshot and cringe, only remembering the glory days and what it had become.  The show subject of this episode not only told that tale, but has taken that story to a whole new level.  OJ Simpson stamped the history books of American culture when he led police on that low speed chase in the white Bronco that was watched by almost 100 million people.  But that wasn’t the incident that put him behind bars.  The wild and crazy tale of one of America’s athletic heroes has been told many times, so we’ll give it our best shot in this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credits: [ SHORT BEAT NO COPYRIGHT HIP HOP ] [FREEUSE MUSIC] Sports and Car Energetic Trap - Alex Productions License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

We’ve covered multiple adult liars over the years in our courtroom, but this show’s subject just may take the cake.  It’s one thing to tell a little white lie that hurts no one, but to completely create a new personality for yourself, accent and all, is just weird.  Hilaria Baldwin apparently has done just that, and it appears as though she’s going to pull it off.   What would you do if your best friend just started talking with an accent one day?  Besides wondering if they smell burnt hair and may be having a stroke, most will quickly shut that down or find a new friend.  How did she go from New Englander to Spanish hottie?  Does she have family in Spain, or is it just a cool place to visit?  And we gotta know, what is it like to be married to a Baldwin brother?  We’ll dive into all this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: {Link: Download https://www.no-copyright-music.com/wp...} Free no copyright background royalty free music, composed by Liborio Conti.

Everyone’s life leads itself down a different path.  If we look back at some of the decisions we’ve made along the way, it seems as though we all play our own game of Choose Your Own Adventure.  The subject of today’s show had so many different options after a successful career, the possibilities seemed endless.  While the route taken may have led to fortune and fame, Andrew Tate’s stint as America’s Bad Boy may be coming to an end sooner than he had anticipated.  How did this guy become the most searched person on the internet over the summer?  Why are Karen’s around the world uniting to cancel the former kickboxer?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Andrew “Cobra” Tate episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Trap Beat, Instrumental, Hip-Hop&Rap [No Copyright Sound] [ FREE USE MUSIC ] - FAYZED - Chains License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

It’s 2022, and as a society we are in full swing to “cancel” many historical figures.  There is a lot of merit to most, some could be viewed as questionable, but it hasn’t been a good run lately for some of the folks we read about in our history books.  This episode’s subject is no different, the slave-owning, face of the twenty himself, Andrew Jackson.  Depending on which side of the aisle you sat on, you either held him in high regard, or wanted to see him held high and dropped on his head.  But was Jackson as evil a dude as he’s been made out to be?  Were you safe to leave him alone with your girlfriend?  And who decided that haircut was a good idea?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Andrew Jackson episode of AHC Podcast.           Citations: The attempt to kill "king andrew".

Paul Revere and the Ride, Henry Ford and the assembly line, Lee Harvey Oswald and JFK, Monica Lewinsky and cigars…. All famous names in history and the automatic associations we have with them when we bring up their name in thought or conversation.  Now the subject or today’s show, Pablo Escobar, whoop, yep, there it is – cocaine, is definitely another one of those names.  Pablo came from nothing in the streets of Medellin, to become the head of one of the largest drug cartels in the world.  In his prime, he was in the top 10 list of Forbes most wealthy people in the world and responsible for about 80% of the cocaine in the United States.  But as most would suspect, things did not end well.  But was all the violence around the cartel at the hands of Pablo?  Was he the one ordering the murders of cops and competition, or was this a plan by his employees?  How much money can a rat eat in one year?  We’ll dive into this and much more in the Pablo Escobar episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Music For Every Occasion Upbeat Latin Music No Copyright https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTjF8nisyiY         Citations: A&E Networks Television.

America is a beautiful place of second chances and limitless opportunity.  It’s also a place that will point and laugh as you publicly fall from grace and will talk trash about you the whole way down.  That brings us to the subject of today’s show, Rudy Giuliani.  Giuliani started at the bottom and worked his way to some of the most prestigious offices within the legal system of New York City, eventually becoming mayor.  Rudy was the darling of New York, people admired his work and it seemed he could do no wrong.  But over time, Rudy faded from the spotlight as most politicians do… until he reappeared, with crazy eyes, melting hair, and lots to say.  As Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Giuliani was at the forefront of the 2020 election and the aftermath.  Was there one certain event that took Giuliani from public darling to the butt of jokes?  Was that really his fake hair melting?  Who set up that infamous press conference at the Four Seasons Landscaping Company?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in the Rudy Giuliani episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credits: Dar Golan - Royalty free army music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tbj1YElpg4         Citations: Bromwich, J.

At one point or another, everyone has an encounter with a “cool guy”.  You know who I’m talking about – over the top laughter, outlandish clothing, the center of attention always… yeah, that guy.  Fred Durst was the epitome of the cool guy in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.  He and his band, Limp Bizkit, were the hottest thing in music for about a 4-year stretch, until the sheen seemed to wear off.  In fairly short order, Durst began to be the butt of jokes, Limp Bizkit went on hiatus, and it all kinda came to an end.  But was the character we all got to know as Fred Durst, really the person Fred Durst?  If he knew how to build a brand, capitalize on everything he could, knowing it wouldn’t last forever, would you still think he’s a d-bag?  Let’s rip into it with a f*n chainsaw in the Limp Bizkit episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: TeknoAXE's Royalty Free Music Psycho Nu Metal Loop Remastered -- Loop 23-A -- Royalty Free Music Metal/Rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ljqtnwce9c       Citations: Bezer, T.

Being a star in Hollywood, if you like to go out and have a good time, there is no doubt you’ll always have eyes on you.  The media and fan base will forgive most drunken, stupid behavior, such as yelling at people in a Walgreens on your birthday, or smoking inside and raising general hell at a show at Studio 54.  But, when the accusations become more serious and of the physical nature, it can sometimes spell the beginning of the end for some careers.  Shia LaBeouf has had many starring roles on the big screen, but over the years his reputation has taking a little bit of a beating for behavior that you know if going to make the tabloids.  But what is to blame for Shia’s antics?  Is it all even true?  Find this out and more in the latest episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credits: FAYZED - Hollow Rap, Trap, Hip-Hop, Instrumental Beat [No Copyright Sound] [ FREE USE MUSIC ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIrHz-tBnHc   Support FAYZED: https://soundcloud.com/fayzed/tracks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtQ8... https://www.instagram.com/ricky_fayzed/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4Mimp... https://fayzededm.bandcamp.com/ https://www.twine.fm/FayZedEDM   https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldwideBeats     Citations: Bruner, R.

The 80’s and 90’s were some wild times in the professional wrestling world, and let me tell you something brother, the subject of today’s show was right in the middle of it.  Hulk Hogan was the face of the WWE during it’s meteoric rise and has continued to stay in the spotlight 30 years later.  With that one of a kind haircut, that super cool mustache, and that permanently tanned, leather skin, the Hulkster’s image and personality are easy to like, but there have been some stories that have come up over the years that test the immortality of the Real American intro man.  Is it true that the Hulkster stepped on people on his way to the top?  Do you need to keep an eye on your wife if he’s your buddy?  Or is he perhaps misunderstood, after living in the crazy world of pro wrestling for so long, that he’s making his way back to normality?  We’ll dive into these questions and more on this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: Song: RocknStock - One More Time Music provided by RocknStock.

It’s not too often a new, major religion is created and develops a strong, devout member base.  The leader must be strong and the story or basis of the religion believable, right?  Well… One of the more interesting and documented stories of religious leaders is from the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard.  The tale of Hubbard’s life is one that involves multiple twists and turns, failures and victories, and some stories that may leave you questioning what to believe.  Grab your audit cans and get ready for the L. Ron Hubbard episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credits: Punch Deck - Conflicting Ideas [ROCK NO COPIRYGHT, COSMIC CHILL] GUITAR BEAT [FREE USE MUSIC] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3M9CX5HWSw25k5QL3FkDEA       Citations: Crowley, M.

Professional fighters have a propensity to live very interesting lives outside the ring.  Think about it, they are performing one of the most primal, basic, human acts, but yet, because they the best in the world at getting the best of someone in a physical altercation, they are rewarded like kings as young adults.  Fast cars, multiple houses, paying all the bills for an entourage of people, and gold chains that would make Mr. T jealous, it’s easy to see how some of these young fighters go broke.  But, it’s much harder to understand how someone with a legendary status in boxing, today’s show subject, Mike Tyson, could wind up as another story of an athlete gone broke.  We’ve all heard the stories about the former “baddest man on the planet”, from his insane knockouts to insane antics both inside and outside the ring.  It’s landed him in jail a couple times, cost him multiple marriages, and seen his boxing career come to an end, but he’s still a relevant name after 35 years since his career began.  What could have been the catalyst to some of the issues we would see down the road in his life?  Was he truly guilty for all the things he has been accused of?  Did he really want to eat people’s children?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: Title: Groove Tube - Audio Hertz / Beat Trap (No Copyright Music) Video Link: https://youtu.be/93cvQGQv-OQ Genre Music: Beat Trap Song 2021 - Crossfit - Workout - Gym - Training - Motivational - Exercise - Total Body - Boxe - Kickboxing - Boxing - Pugilato - Arti Marziali Miste - Karate - Muay Thai - Motivation - Sport - Fitness - Music 2021       Citations: Cancian, D.

The feedback we've gotten from Conspiracy Court has been, well, freakin awesome!  We wanted to give all our listeners a little taste of the goods with a free episode of Conspiracy Court.  Come join the club at www.patreon.com/ahcpodcast to get all the Conspiracy Court shows, stickers and swag, shout outs, voting power for future shows and more!   Since the dawn of time, civilizations have had stories of mythical and other non-human creatures passed down over generations.  As time evolved, many of these stories became quite believable and found their way into popular culture.  The most famous of these characters is in the courtroom today as we ask the question, is Bigfoot real?  Over the past 100 years or so, Bigfoot sightings have been frequent and fairly consistent.  Organizations have dedicated lots of time and resources to prove the notion that what most perceive as a hoax, is in fact, very real.  But why have we never found a Bigfoot body?  Why don't we find their bones like we do other animals that die?  Was Harry and the Henderson's based on a true story?  We'll dive in to this and much more on this episode of Conspiracy Court.

I guess dreams can come true.  If you ask any 20-year-old dude what their dream job would be, odds are, porn star would be near the top.  The adult film industry has graced us with some stars that have reached pop culture status, but probably none more famous than today’s show subject, Ron Jeremy.  “The Hedgehog” has starred in over 2000 adult films and even made his way into movies and TV shows.  On the surface he seems to be likeable, funny, ugly, and not afraid to poke a little fun at himself.  But recent developments have shown a different light on the “Super Hornio Brothers” star.  If you get paid all day to have sex, would you have to have to take advantage of more vulnerable targets to get your kicks?  How much sex does one person have to have to be satisfied?  We’ll dive into this and much more on the Ron Jeremy, and quite fitting, 69th episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Dar Golan Sixties 60's music (free to use) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_cMGH7-XTU     Citations: Dickson, E.

The one-name celebrity club is a difficult thing to achieve.  Voltaire, Pele, Bono, Snoopy… the level of global fame you have to accomplish to get to the one-name club is limited to very few.  Oprah Winfrey, or as most call her, Oprah, rose from a troubled childhood to become one of the world’s most well-known celebrities.  Her charity work and good deeds have helped hundreds, if not thousands of people.  But does no good deed go unpunished?  Have Oprah’s charities actually hurt people, instead of help them?  Did she really dodge being a potential crack head?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Title: Fridaze - Lauren Duski / Inspiring Vlog (No Copyright Music) Video Link: https://youtu.be/P2UEIU3PCSs Genre Music: Inspiring Vlog - Dance - Inspiration - Inspirational - Travel - Summer - Calm - Relax     Citations: Andaloro, A.

We have all wished that our favorite characters in movies or shows was a real person.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to sit down to a plate of pasta and a glass of cabernet with Tony Soprano?  But as the saying goes, sometimes you don’t want to meet your heroes.  Mel Gibson has been making some of the biggest movies in the world for the last 30 plus years.  He’s played some characters that you would want to hang out with, but from what we’ve seen over the past few years, not sure you would want to hang out with the man himself.  But is it fair to judge someone’s career and life over a couple bad interactions?  Or does the truth of what he really thinks seem to come out after a few too many cocktails?  We’ll dive into these questions and more on this episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credit: Hidden Past Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

He’s one of the most recognized people in the world and perhaps for all the wrong reasons.  Vladimir Putin rose through the ranks of the KGB during the Soviet era, and then quickly shot up the ladder of the Russian government to become its President.  He’s currently invading neighboring country, Ukraine, and the world seems to have had about enough of his crap.  Putin has never been cast as an angel, but with his record of humanitarian issues, corruption, and power-hungry decisions, he seems to be fitting the bill quite nicely as a devil.  What could have happened in his life to cause him to turn out the way he has?  What could be at the root of his desire to punish those who don’t see eye to eye with him?  We’ll dive into this and much more in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Music Credits: Dar Golan Royalty free Russian music - free instrumental music for personal or commercial use - Copyright free.

To be the greatest of all time at anything requires hard work, dedication, and usually a little bit of luck. But keep in mind, not every GOAT is sports related.  Technically, there is a greatest TV watcher of all time… But the subject of today’s show is no couch potato.  He’s been on the cover of magazines, cereal boxes, and posters hanging on the wall of most guys who grew up in the 90’s – the one and only, his Airness, Michael Jordan.  Jordan changed the landscape of the NBA once he got in the league.  Winning world championships, slam dunk contests, and generally making the competition look like amateurs when he was in his prime.  But the stories that have come to light over the years don’t paint a picture of Jordan being the best teammate.  He defended his position in the recent documentary, The Last Dance, but did we hear all the stories?  What could MJ have done to land him in the courtroom today?  Come fly with me as we roll through the Michael Jordan episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro music credits: Title: Finally The Sun - Audio Hertz / Crossfit 2021 (No Copyright Music) Video Link: https://youtu.be/bdf82dDHn_4 Genre Music: Trap - Gym - Workout - Sport - Exercise at Home - Gaming     Citations: Dougherty, J.

What makes a man a REAL man? What does a REAL man look like? For some people, the  Instagram King, Dan Bilzerian is the poster-child of masculinity and REAL manliness. He’s built like a brick sh*t house, has a wicked-thick beard, plays poker for a living, has more money than Davey Crockett, and bangs models by the boatload.  But is the social media representation of Bilzerian accurate?

We’ve seen a number of musical artists switch genres throughout their career.  Taylor Swift went from country to pop, Darius Rucker went from being Hootie to having a successful country career, and did you know Michael Bolton once opened for Ozzy Osbourne?  Well, the subject of today’s show has also run the gamut of several different styles of music… Kid Rock.  Starting out as a rapper, moving to rock, and now more of a country musician, Kid Rock has been killing it on stage for over 20 years.  He’s not only been in the news for his talented performances, but recently, there’s been some stories that don’t paint the rocker in the best light.  Is Kid Rock simply misunderstood, or are there some racist undertones in his actions?  Did he really go from the trailer park to the limelight?  We’ll dive into these questions and much more on this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: Song: RocknStock - Rocking Trailer (No Copyright Music) Music provided by RocknStock.

Think Different.  That seems to be the secret sauce for many of the ultra-successful. Just like that Big Mac sauce that we all love, but will never admit to, the recipe of today’s show subject has also reached global fame.  Steve Jobs came from very humble beginnings but wound up being the face for one of the biggest companies in the world.  If you go into any trendy coffee shop, you’re bound to see the full assortment of products that Jobs created, and to be honest, it’s quite impressive.  But, was he the true mastermind behind Apple?  Did his management tactics start a very negative trend in the business world?  Did the black turtleneck bring magical powers?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more on this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: "ASHUTOSH - Inspire" is under a Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) license. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzmw...

Daytime TV – it’s a subject we’ve broached a couple times on AHC Podcast, but this episode is about one of the heavy hitters of the afternoon antics.  Dr. Phil has been on our TV’s for over 20 years and has made a name for himself for a number of reasons.  In the beginning, it seemed he was all for helping couples in need, a troubled teen, or a drug addict looking for help.  As time wore on, the show topics got wilder and tales of potential exploitation have clouded the once clear image.  But is Dr. Phil really out to expose people in their darkest hour, or is he really looking to offer a helping hand to those that could use it?  We’ll dive into this and much, much more on this episode of AHC Podcast.         Citations: Batheja, A.

If you were a male in the 1990’s above the age of, oh, say 10 years old, you were probably fully aware of our show subject today, Jenny McCarthy.  From Playboy’s Playmate of the Month, to Playmate of the Year, to TV star, to anti-vax spokesperson, McCarthy has worn many hats in her almost 30-year celebrity career.  Regardless of the reason, she seemed to easily find the spotlight whatever the endeavor may be.  But, is she truly the hardcore anti-vax quack she’s been made out to be, or is there a bit of a different side of the story to her beliefs?  What is it like to be married to a New Kid on the Block star?  What was it that took the photographer by surprise when she posed for Playboy?  We’ll dive into these questions and a whole lot more in the Jenny McCarthy episode of AHC Podcast.   1) A&E Networks Television.

We’ve covered some of the biggest names in music on this show, but this episode may take the cake for level of crazy.  Rick James lived the life of a rock star, pretty much from out of the womb, and the stories that go along with his crazy life may make you laugh, cry, cringe, or flat-out leave you saying WTF, dude?  From his early days engaging in illegal activity, to draft dodging, to being in the right place at the right time, Rick James lived a life that movies are made of.  But was his troubled upbringing the reason he became a Superfreak?  Did the Chappelle show do his stories justice in one of the funniest set of skits in television history?  We’ll dive into the life and times of the insanely crazy story of Rick James in this episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro music credit: Author: Kevin MacLeod Website - http://incompetech.com/ Royalty Free Link - http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-...

For years, Hollywood has glamorized some not-so-glamorous people.  If the tale is “based on a true story” you can guarantee the real subject probably didn’t look like Johnny Depp or Tom Cruise.  The same goes for one infamous duo, the first true ride or die couple, Bonnie and Clyde.  Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow terrorized police and the public for a couple years during a crime spree that would go on to become one of pop culture’s biggest references.  But, between some self-mutilation, prison rape, car wrecks, and gonorrhea, the duo’s journey wasn’t as Hollywood as it’s been made out to be.  But what drove them to a life of crime?  Were they really both the cold-blooded, outlaw killers they’ve been made out to be?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro music credit: [No Copyright Sound] Old School, Gangsta Beat - Aries Beats - [ FREE USE MUSIC, Vlogs, Piano ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmh1N1HsI48     Citations: Blatty, D.

Once upon a time, there was no social media. In the early days of the 21st century, the idea that you could-- or would even want to-- post up pictures and details about yourself online seemed crazy. And then MySpace showed up on the scene and suddenly everyone wanted to share their lives with everyone else. And one MySpace user leveraged the platform to such an extent that she went from being totally obscure, to being internet famous, to being real-world Famous.    15 years ago, MySpace queen Tila Tequila was climbing her way up the cultural pile and became a household name. And then her fame rocket ran out of gas and she came tumbling back to earth, a flaming wreck. On this latest episode, we delve into what happened to the tiny Asian social media star and ultimately beg the question: Why would anyone possibly care?

Internet celebrities come and go, but there are a few that have hung on longer than their 15 minutes of fame usually allow.  Jake Paul gained fame as a teenager for his crazy antics and the YouTube videos he posted “Everyday Bro”.  As he’s gotten older, both he and his brother have transitioned into the boxing world, where they have become fighters that everyone loves to hate.  But how did Jake get to where he is, after “coming from nothing”?  Have all of his money-making ventures been on the up and up?  And I guess the real question, why does anyone care about what he does?  We’ll dive into this and a whole lot more on this episode of AHC Podcast.           Intro Music Credits: TeknoAXE's Royalty Free Music Destination Sky - Glitch Hop/Synthwave - Royalty Free Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdoSvCBvSj4&list=PL904AuFDEgeglpBENzQkNEf3w9Pjqlql-&index=5           Citations: Asarch, S.

The people have spoken and the AHC boys have listened... Welcome to the all new AHC Podcast show - Conspiracy Court!  We are going to cover some of the greatest mysteries of all time and rate their believability on our traditional 1-11 scale.  The content will be exclusively available on Patreon, but like your neighborhood drug dealers, we're going to give you the first hit for free!  Don't worry, you'll still get your regular AHC fix every two weeks as well. In the first episode, we'll discuss one of the funnier conspiracies that have come to light in recent years - is Steve Wonder really blind?  Is the Songs in the Key of Life hitmaker really good at living life without sight, or has he been pulling the wool over our eyes this whole time?  We'll dive into this and much more on the inaugural episode of Conspiracy Court.

With the Elizabeth Holmes fraud trial in high gear, we decided it would be a good time to dig out one of our earliest episodes in which we discussed (and scored)  the dead-eyed wannabe mogul. Was she aware that her Theranos technology was a fraud or is she simply an innocent, highly ambitious bystander? Listen and judge for yourself. Enjoy! 

Osama bin Laden – the name itself stirs up emotions of hate, anger, and disgust.  Once considered a “freedom fighter”, bin Laden transformed himself into one of the most hated and wanted men in the world with his radical views.  How did the devil incarnate come to be such a terrible human being?  What were his influences that got him to the point where he masterminded the 9/11 attacks?  We’ll dive into this and much more in this deep dive, 2-year anniversary show of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: Belly Dance Arabic Middle Eastern Music | Royalty Free | No Copyrights | Music for Videos Creators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRLzy4vnM0E&list=PL5QIvgR6Fi2QDKA1kSkjXEQ_EPmiV9Dlf&index=10       Citations: Atwan, A.

To be confident is one thing, but to be Kanye-confident, well, that’s just a whole new level of self-belief.  Hip-hop and shoe mogul, Kanye West, has been at or near the top of the rap world going on 2 decades now.  Love him or hate him, his albums sell like hot cakes when released and those Yeezy’s continue to fly off the shelves.  The self-made billionaire has put himself front and center in many, many headlines over the years, and sometimes, for all the wrong reasons.  Do we really understand where Kanye is coming from, or are there more serious underlying issues we need to understand?  We’ll dive into this and much more in this latest episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro music credit: Prod. by Danya Vodovoz - Urban Traffic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk-POX6lXRI ROYALTY FREE MUSIC       Citations: A&E Networks Television.

There is a reason that Chevy Chase has had a four decade-long run on TV and as a movie star - the dude is freakin' hilarious.  But, as we've seen with many of our favorite stars over the years, there is more behind the Clark Griswold persona than many of us know about.  Chase was one of brains behind the early Saturday Night Live years, which catapulted him into the spotlight, but the stories many have told about run-ins and incidents with Chase may shed a different light on him.  We'll dive into these stories and much more in the latest episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: TeknoAXE's Royalty Free Music Run to the Light - Alternative/70s Rock - Royalty Free Music https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtgf00GvfFQVsYBA7V7RwUw     Nickolai, N.

Con men (or women) and their schemes have drawn interest from the public since their inception, but the victims behind their actions almost always wish they had never gotten involved.  Today’s show subject, Anna Delvey, pulled the wool over the eyes of many and lived a life most folks could only dream of – all on other people’s dime.  But does this flimflam women stack up to the greats or was she just a low-level liar that got the right people’s attention?  We’ll dive into this and much more on this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Music Credit: Dar Golan - Royalty free russian music (no copyrights) Royalty free Russian music - free instrumental music for personal or commercial use - Copyright free.

To quote Irish writer, Darren Shan, “Destiny is a tower of cards - nudge one just an inch and everything stacked on top comes crashing down.”  Kevin Spacey had the world in the palm of his hand, winning multiple prestigious awards, headlining box office hits, and walking red carpets everywhere.  But when one brave victim of Spacey’s predatory behavior came forward, his house of cards came crashing down.  Was it something in Spacey’s childhood that sparked his salacious behavior?  All the stories that have come out seem to have a common theme, but do they all have merit?  Will Spacey make a return to the big screen or will this be the last we see of the American Beauty star? We’ll dive into this and much more in this episode of AHC Podcast.         Intro Song Credit - Artist: Kalvin Plaza Song: Something dark comes this way Music Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9s_ Gaming Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnUL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kalvin_1440p   Citations: Associated Press.

America loves a good comeback story.  It’s not too often you hear of people climbing out of the nasty hole of addiction and becoming a multi-millionaire, but the subject of today’s episode, MyPillow founder and CEO, Mike Lindell, did just that.  Plastered on TV sets across America, Mike Lindell seemed to be just another annoying pitchman, until his new group of “friends” put him in the national spotlight during the last election cycle.  But does being a wealthy business owner make you a political expert?  Was the crack addict version of Mike Lindell cooler than the CEO version?  We’ll dive into this and much more in this episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit:  Song: RocknStock - Rocking Trailer (No Copyright Music) Music provided by RocknStock.

If the word gimmick had a picture to go alongside it in the dictionary, then the subject of this show would be the perfect fit.  Tekashi 6ix9ine began to make a name for himself in the rap game and decided to live out his gangster fantasies, only to wind up facing a heap of trouble and an extended prison sentence.  The reason he became even more famous would have gangsters like John Gotti and Carlos Gambino rolling in their graves - he snitched.  We'll dive into the life of Takashi and try and understand why he looks like a human acid trip and what may have been the foundation for all the chaos that's been his life to this point.  Grab your hair dye, eat a pack of crayons and enjoy this episode of AHC Podcast.                   6ix9ine.

The year 2020 was one for the record books.  If that record book was "The Guinness Book of Terrible Years" - then 2020 could be on the cover.  Most people alive right now haven't seen the likes of a pandemic, extreme civil unrest, the world burning all around us, and so much more all happen in one calendar year.  Oh, and top it off with some murder hornets and that was pretty much the cherry on top for the sh*t show 2020 was.  In this episode, we're going to take the year 2020 to trial.  Could it be the highest score we've had yet, or did it happen to just have a bunch of bad stuff happen in 12 calendar months?  Tune in to find out on the latest episode of AHC Podcast.

Back by popular demand, the guys at AHC Podcast are going to give you a Fire Side-Chat this week!  In this episode, we'll talk about our favorite holidays, as well as some we could do without.  Do we have a Grinch in the group?  Do we all like to wear our stretchy pants and eat 'til we can't see straight for Thanksgiving?  What's the deal with Groundhog Day?  Gather around the Festivus Pole and get ready to listen to us air our grievances in this week's Fire Side-Chat.

As we all know, things don’t always go right in life.  Jobs are lost, financial difficulties occur, marriages dissolve, and people fall out of love on a daily basis.  While most normal people try to pick up the pieces and keep on keeping on, other people like today’s show subject, Scott Peterson, take a more drastic approach.  Why exactly did Scott kill his wife and unborn child?  Was it his sidepiece that drove him to do the unthinkable?  If there is a Death Penalty case worth revisiting, is it his?  We’ll dive into this and much more on this week’s episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credit: Teknoaxe Royalty Free Music Hero Redemption Small changes were made to the arrangement http://teknoaxe.com/Link_Code_3.php?q=1589&genre=Hard

The Pilgrims and the Indians laid the groundwork for one of America’s favorite holidays, Thanksgiving.  Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower, weird hats with buckles, and of course, the big feast, painted a picture of harmony and unity between the new settlers and the natives.  But what was this scene really like?  Was the New World the first choice for the Pilgrims?  Did the Pilgrims live up to their end of the bargain to the people that financially backed their voyage?  Fill that paper plate full of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and enjoy this Thanksgiving episode of AHC Podcast.           Music credit: https://audionautix.com/">Creative Commons Music by Jason Shaw on Audionautix.com   Cain, Á.

While he did sail the ocean blue in 1492, it's come to light that Christopher Columbus may not have been the person we all learned about in school.  He did trek across the Atlantic with the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria but where he landed and what he did once he got there raises a lot of questions.  In the latest episode of AHC Podcast, we take a deep dive into the actions of the explorer and see how your 4th grade teacher may have been lying to you the whole time.           Bergreen, L.

When going to the theater, people may not always agree on what movie to watch.  Some movies, however, come with so much hype that lines will wrap around the theater.  Whether those movies live up to the hype, well that's up to you.  The movies in the 1990's had a few of these hits as well as some that flopped in the theater and developed a cult following after.  We'll roll through a list of our favorite classics and debate what's good and what sucks.  Kick back, relax and enjoy our latest Fire Side-chat.

Historically, cult leaders haven't fared too well in the eyes of well, pretty much everyone.  This show's subject, Jim Jones, may top the list of cult leaders that made a name for themselves for all the wrong reasons.  The infamous Jonestown massacre was one of the worst human tragedies in United States history.  What drove Jones to control those around him?  How was he able to get his foot in the door and begin the brainwashing of thousands of people?  What's up with those dark sunglasses?  We'll dive into these questions and more in this cult-classic episode of AHC Podcast.             Jim Jones.

In this Fire Side-chat, we're going to keep our conversation going about the great things we grew up with in the 1990's.  Video games were, and still are, great entertainment for hours, but the advancements we saw in the 90's laid the framework for many of the games today.  Who remembers spending hours and hours playing playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater?  How awesome was the raccoon suit in Super Mario 3?  We'll continue our jog down memory lane in this latest Fire Side-chat.

He might be the most talked-about asshole in the world right now. Jeffrey Epstein was incredibly wealthy, insanely perverted, and oddly mysterious in every way-- including his death. As you can imagine, there is a lot to this story. So much so that we couldn’t just do one episode. To give this story it’s due justice, we’re running it in two full-length episodes. In this first episode, we cover Epstein’s early years as a student, teacher, and the start of his career in finance.

On this episode of Asshole Court, we delve into the menacing figure that is Suge Knight.

And it wasn't long before she had hundreds of millions of dollars in investment capital, a corporate board filled with household names, a sweet-ass private jet, and a net worth that Forbes put at 4.5 Billion dollars in 2015. But it appears to have been a massive financial scam of the highest order with Holmes allegedly at the helm of it all.

On this episode, we delve into the life of John Gotti to rate just how much of an asshole the Dapper Don was.   Higgins, D. R. (2018, June 7). Why Did the Working Class Love John Gotti So Much?
