In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I get into the fireball and UFO footage that keeps showing up on TikTok and disappearing just as fast. Orbs, plasma, fireballs over Indonesia — and nobody's following up. Not CNN, not Fox. I'm starting to think we're right on the edge of the biggest disclosure in human history and everyone's just watching the national championship. From there I react to Trump's Easter Sunday press ...

In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Hanshaw Dyer for a conversation that goes way beyond surface-level takes on Hollywood and culture. We get into her personal journey from falling deep into conspiracy research to exploring spirituality, religion, and how she now sees the world. We talk about what it’s actually like to go down the rabbit hole, how media and symbolism shape the way people think, and why so many people feel like ...

In this solo episode, I react to the Druski controversy and get into a bigger question that comedy keeps running into: what counts as acting, what counts as parody, and where people draw the line. I talk about transformation, hidden camera, why I’ve always seen character work as real acting, and why comedy still doesn’t get the same respect as drama. From there I get into some of my old JKX characters, the Virginia Ham clip, socia...

I’m in the new studio for the first time and had to bring in someone who can go deep right out of the gate. Jay Dyer pulls up and we get into everything from how media used to work in Hollywood to how it works now, and why it feels like the biggest stories in the world barely last a day anymore. We talk about the Epstein files, how information spreads in real time, and why people seem completely desensitized to things that should ...

In this episode, I open up a bunch of memorabilia that’s been sitting around for way too long—from original artwork tied to Son of the Mask to fan-made pieces and some unexpected surprises. It turns into a weird mix of nostalgia, reflection, and appreciation for how far this journey has come. But then I start thinking about where things are at right now… I’m looking at all these shows, all these nominations, all this “content”—and...

In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I’m recording from a brand new studio inside my new house in Los Angeles. The goal is simple: create a space where I can produce podcasts, interviews, and independent content without relying on the traditional Hollywood system. From there I get into the state of Hollywood today — how the studio system has changed, why fewer movies are being made, and how creators are increasingly bu...

In this episode, I sit down with Jack Osbourne for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about legacy, family, fame, and the truth behind one of the most misunderstood figures in music history. We talk about Ozzy’s final show, what those last weeks were really like, and how the public narrative often misses the reality of the man behind the persona. Jack shares what it was like growing up Osbourne, how myths about his father took on...

In this World’s On Fire episode, I talk about how completely out of touch everything feels right now. From a flight that wouldn’t land and the strange calm that comes with realizing you’re still alive, to watching people melt down over pure inconvenience, it really hit me how much perspective we’ve lost. I get into a situation in Las Vegas that wasn’t about money, but about principle — a casino enforcing policy in the pettiest way...

In this episode, I sit down again with Michael Biehn for a long, wide-ranging conversation that moves through Hollywood, filmmaking, politics, and how culture has shifted over the years. We talk about Michael’s experiences working on iconic films, his time collaborating with directors like James Cameron, and what it’s like to watch the industry change from the inside. The conversation also drifts into politics, free speech, and wh...

I didn’t plan on making this episode. But after reading what’s been released and more importantly what’s still being hidden, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. This isn’t about conspiracy buzzwords or internet rabbit holes. It’s about something much simpler: why names keep getting protected, why accountability stops at power, and why the worst people always seem to vanish behind redactions. If this stuff wasn’t real, they wouldn’t stil...

On this weeks episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I sit down with Andy Dick for one of the rawest conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Andy opens up about addiction, relapse, sobriety, and the moment he nearly died—and what it feels like to live under constant scrutiny while trying to stay alive and stay clean. We talk about the early days of comedy in Los Angeles, the chaos of sudden fame, and how addiction distorts memory...

In this solo episode, I break down what’s happening when culture, politics, and reality collide — and why it feels like there’s no middle ground anymore. From media narratives and law enforcement, to Hollywood’s disconnect from real audiences, to the way ideology has replaced common sense, I react to the stories and videos shaping the current moment. I also talk about how fame, legacy media, and award shows are losing relevance, w...

Jeff Dye sits down with me for a wide-ranging conversation about ambition, conviction, and what it actually means to stay true to yourself in modern comedy. We talk about why Jeff believes his goal is to be the best stand-up comedian possible, how that mindset shapes his choices, and what it’s like being perceived as the “bad guy” while still leading with honesty and goodwill. We also get into navigating public pressure, playing t...

In this episode, I sit down with my buuuuuddy Pauly Shore for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about getting older, looking back, and figuring out what still matters. We talk about fame in the ’90s, the pressure of being Mitzi Shore’s son, how MTV changed the course of his career, and why he still feels pulled toward acting more than comedy.

In this solo episode, I talk through why the world feels different, why empathy seems to be disappearing, and why so many things we’ve normalized just don’t sit right anymore. From censorship and cultural numbness to grief, excess, masculinity, escapism, and the loss of innocence, this episode is about recognizing the shift we’re all feeling but rarely say out loud. I also reflect on burnout, pulling back from overexposure, and wh...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
