AHC Podcast

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s actually going to be a double dose of Conspiracy Court for you, all wrapped into one download.  Don’t forget, you can get in on the fun and join the AHC Podcast Patreon page at Patreon.com/ahcpodcast.  Kick back, relax, and enjoy the Conspiracy Court episodes!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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? We’ll dive into all this and a whole lot more in the Lindsay Lohan episode of AHC Podcast.

We’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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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? Listen up and decide.
