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 sa...

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...

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, eve...

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...

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 som...

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, th...

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...

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 g...

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. ...

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...

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 w...

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 ang...

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 on...

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? On this lat...

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...

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 s...

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 s...

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 ende...

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 t...

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...

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 tota...

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 ge...

Almost 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 st...
