AHC PodcastBetty WhiteWe always like to start the year off on a positive note and this show subject most certainly fits the bill. Betty White had a career in show business that lasted seven decades. She was one of America’s sweethearts and won over the hearts of many in her prime-time roles. Just when you thought she was in her twilight years, she had a career resurgence like we’ve never seen before. She entertained us until she was in her 90’s and the country mourned when she passed. But with all the people and characters she ran into during her career...

AHC PodcastJohn DeLoreanThere 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...

AHC PodcastThe Liver KingThe 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 supplement...

AHC PodcastSaddam HusseinOn 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? We...

AHC PodcastJeff BezosIf 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...

AHC PodcastChris PrattSome 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 show...

AHC PodcastSean ”P Diddy” CombsMany 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...

AHC PodcastJoel OsteenThe 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 mo...

AHC PodcastBill CosbyThe #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’...

AHC PodcastDavid KoreshThe 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 gl...

AHC PodcastGordon RamsayMost 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...

AHC PodcastElvis PresleyTo 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 gyratio...

AHC PodcastTupac ShakurWe’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 actua...

AHC PodcastLindsay LohanEveryone 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? We’ll dive into all this and a whole lot m...

AHC PodcastGG AllinWe’ve covered a wide variety of subjects in our courtroom, and while GG Allin may not be a household name, he may be the nastiest person we’ve ever discussed. It’s not the “nasty women” nasty, it’s the poop on the stage, spit on your fans kind of nasty. While his music was mostly forgettable, his cult-like legacy in the punk rock world continues to live on. Throw on the jockstrap that looks best in public and check out the GG Allin episode of AHC Podcast!

AHC PodcastJerry SpringerThroughout 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 re...

AHC PodcastRupert MurdochWe’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 pion...

AHC PodcastConor McGregorHave 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...

AHC PodcastMiley CyrusWe’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 go...

AHC PodcastDolly Parton“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...

AHC PodcastJordan PetersonThe 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...

AHC PodcastJoe RoganWe’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 commenta...

AHC PodcastThe Pilgrims - Thanksgiving Reboot!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.

AHC PodcastJohn WayneThere 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.

AHC PodcastOJ SimpsonIt’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 s...

AHC PodcastHilaria BaldwinWe’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 qui...

AHC PodcastAndrew TateEveryone’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 o...

AHC PodcastAndrew JacksonIt’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...

AHC PodcastPablo EscobarPaul 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 weal...

AHC PodcastRudy GiulianiAmerica 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 fro...

AHC PodcastFred DurstAt 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 charact...

AHC PodcastShia LaBeoufBeing 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...

AHC PodcastHulk HoganThe 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...

AHC PodcastL. Ron HubbardIt’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.

AHC PodcastMike TysonProfessional 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 legen...

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 l...

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 th...

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...

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...

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...

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 per...

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?

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 t...

AHC PodcastJenny McCarthyIf 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...

AHC PodcastRick JamesWe’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 r...

AHC PodcastBonnie and ClydeFor 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 mad...

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 car...

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.
