L. Ron Hubbard
June 19, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 67.6 MBIt’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 ca...
Mike Tyson
June 05, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBProfessional 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 b...

Ron Jeremy
May 08, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 48.1 MBI 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 him...
Oprah Winfrey
April 24, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 44.7 MBThe 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, inst...
Mel Gibson
April 10, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 51.2 MBWe 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 ...
Vladimir Putin
March 27, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBHe’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...
Michael Jordan
March 13, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 51.9 MBTo 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...
Dan Bilzerian
February 27, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 46.2 MBWhat 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? On this latest episode, we dig in and try to find out what the real story is. And of course, we rate how m...
Kid Rock
February 13, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBWe’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 year...
Steve Jobs
January 30, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBThink 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. ...
Dr. Phil
January 16, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBDaytime 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. Bu...
Jenny McCarthy
January 01, 2022 23:42 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBIf 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 the...
Rick James
December 19, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBWe’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 ...
Bonnie and Clyde
December 05, 2021 05:00 - 58 minutes - 40.8 MBFor 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, pri...
Tila Tequila
November 22, 2021 22:04 - 1 hour - 45 MBOnce 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 qu...
Jake Paul
November 07, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MBInternet 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 th...
Elon Musk
October 24, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 75.5 MBAlmost everyone in the world would say “yeah, I want to be rich…” – but to be Elon rich, that’s another level. Rocketman and Tesla titan, Elon Musk, has no doubt been making an impact in the world for almost his entire life. His inventions and products, such as PayPal, Tesla, Space X, and more, have provided him the ability to do a lot of good in the world. But, on his way to the top, did he step on those around him to get there? Is he a terrible boss? Is he a bit creepy in the approach...

Alex Jones
October 10, 2021 03:01 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBConspiracy theories are no longer the conversation currency of weirdos and society’s outer fringes. They’ve gone mainstream. And one of the people responsible for this is the subject of our latest show. Alex Jones started out as an oddball on Austin’s Public Access Television but ended up being a national celebrity of sorts thanks to his never-ending fountain of bullshit. Is he just a harmless nutball that sincerely believes all the insanity that he peddles? Or is there something darker to...

Elizabeth Holmes - The Reboot
September 19, 2021 03:01 - 39 minutes - 30.7 MBWith 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
September 10, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBOsama 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. ...
Ted Nugent
August 29, 2021 04:00 - 54 minutes - 39.5 MBRock stars live a life most of us normal people could only dream of. Expensive houses, fast cars, adoration of millions of fans, big game hunting, political rallies… wait, what? Ted Nugent has been slinging platinum albums for over 40 years, but he doesn’t fit the mold of the usual shredding guitar-playing front man. At this point in his life, his political views and public outbursts have him in the news more than his music does. Do we respect Ted for speaking his mind, regardless of wha...
Kanye West
August 15, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBTo 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 unders...
Chevy Chase
August 01, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBThere 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...
Anna Delvey
July 18, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBCon 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...
Kevin Spacey
July 04, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 46 MBTo 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 sto...
John McAfee: The Reboot
June 27, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 50.5 MBWe're going to revisit one of our previous episodes this week due to the death of one of our show subjects.

You probably recognize his last name from the anti-virus software pro...
Mike Lindell (The MyPillow Guy)
June 20, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBAmerica 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 poli...
Papa John Schnatter
June 06, 2021 04:00 - 55 minutes - 42.1 MBHe was one of the most recognizable faces in the pizza game - plastered on television ads and pizza boxes around the world, Papa John Schnatter built a massive pizza empire out of a broom closet in a bar in Indiana. Being the CEO of a company definitely has it's perks, but as we've seen in the past few years with him and many others, it has it's downfalls as well. But was Papa John set up by the company he hired to help him? Or is he a (broom) closet racist and let it all hang out on a co...

Tekashi 6ix9ine
April 25, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBIf 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 a...

Dr. Oz
March 28, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 47.2 MBOn paper, he is one incredibly intelligent dude. A degree from Harvard, an MBA and MD from the University of Pennsylvania… so how did he wind up being a pill pusher with a daytime TV show? Dr. Oz and his pseudoscience promotion have landed him in some controversy over the years and now have landed him in our courtroom. Is Dr. Oz on to something here, or does he just like the paychecks that roll in each month from the diet pill du jour he puts his stamp on? We’ll let you be the judge of t...
R. Kelly
March 14, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 52.1 MBIt’s happened to all of us. We become fans of an athlete, musician, or any public figure, only to have them show that they are in fact – human. R. Kelly has been revered as one of the greatest R&B singers of the last 30 years, but it’s the things he’s done off the stage that have him in all the wrong headlines in recent years. He might have believed he could fly, but that flight might land him in a cell behind bars. Get ready to bump and grind your way through this episode of AHC Podcast...
Dustin Diamond (Screech from Saved by the Bell)
February 28, 2021 05:00 - 53 minutes - 41.5 MBThe adult lives of child stars often turn into a coin flip for success. Some go on to bigger and better things, while others slide into the bushes of normalcy like the famous Homer Simpson meme. In this episode, we’ll look at the life and career of one of our favorite child stars of the late 80’s and 90’s – Dustin Diamond as Screech from Saved by the Bell. How did the skinny kid from California gain stardom at such a young age? What would the after-school years of Screech turn in to? Ti...

Mark Zuckerberg (Part I)
January 31, 2021 05:00 - 38 minutes - 29.4 MBUnless you’ve been living under a rock for the last decade, you are probably familiar with this show’s subject and his creation – Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. With about 3 billion users worldwide, the book of faces gives people a way to communicate with family, friends, random people, and people with similar interests, all at the click of a few buttons. But with all the technology used by Facebook, is it all for the greater good, or is there some down and dirty business going on? How did...
Jared Fogle (The Subway Guy)
January 17, 2021 05:00 - 57 minutes - 43.5 MBBy now we've all heard the story of Jared Fogle - a giant dude eats Subway sandwiches for a couple years, drops a few hundred pounds, and turns into a one-named national marketing sensation.

In this episode of AHC Podcast, we'll run down the rabbit hole of footlong infamy and the tale of the former fat boy. Flager, M. (2020, September 16). An Ex-Inmate Says D...
The Year 2020
January 03, 2021 05:00 - 48 minutes - 36.8 MBThe 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. Cou...

Scott Peterson
December 06, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBAs 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, i...
The Pilgrims
November 22, 2020 05:00 - 54 minutes - 41.1 MBThe 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 ...
Jerry Falwell, Jr.
November 08, 2020 05:00 - 47 minutes - 36.2 MBMost would think that the President of one of the biggest Christian universities in the country would be an upstanding, caring, evangelical person, right? In the case of this show’s subject, Jerry Falwell, Jr, unfortunately, he doesn’t check many of those boxes. Not to mention the alleged throuple that he and his wife had with the pool boy for about 8 years… We’ll take a dive into this and much more on this holy-rolling episode of AHC Podcast. Andrew, S.

Lance Armstrong

We’ll dive into these questions and more in the latest episode of AHC ...
