AHC Podcast

It seems like some people “have all the luck” when it comes to intelligence, charisma, and good looks.  Ball all that up, throw in the fact that this show subject is the greatest quarterback to play in the NFL, and you have the ever-charmed, often-despised, Tom Brady.  Brady went from a low-level draft pick out of Michigan to the elite player we all know, who holds the record for most Super Bowl victories and is considered the GOAT of pro football.  But his controversies haven’t avoided the headlines.  What was it like when his girlfriend found out that his recently dumped girlfriend was pregnant?   What was it like in the Brady household growing up?  And many fans have had their hearts ripped out of their chest by this man?  We’ll dive into all this and more in the Tom Brady episode of AHC Podcast.

What’s up AHC nation, we hope you are doing well.  We have a special treat for you this week as we are doing a show swap with our friends over at Midnight Facts for Insomniacs.  In the episode, Shane and Duncan are going to do their thing and dive a topic popular among stoners and 80% of women, Astrology.  They do a little friendly debunking of some of the aspects of Astrology, and as always, keep you entertained and learning a little something something along the way.  As for us, get ready for a new Asshole Court episode in two weeks, followed by a whole bunch of new episodes after that.  Like we said, just needed a short break to catch our breath, but we’re back baby!  Be kind to one another and enjoy this episode of Midnight Facts for Insomniacs.

There have been many celebrities to lose their lives to unfortunate auto accidents, but there is  one rumored accident that had potential to change the world of music forever.  In 1966, while working on the Sgt. Peppers album, Paul McCartney was involved in an auto accident.  While it's fairly obvious Paul is fine and well, the rumor that Paul had died surfaced and took the world by storm for a short time.  Is there any truth to the odd circumstances around the rumor?    What would the Fab Four have been like as George, Ringo, John, and Billy?  We'll dive into this and more in this hilarious episode of Conspiracy Court. 

We've all heard the phrase, "you like to eat the sausage, but you don't want to see how it's made". Well, in this episode we're going to do just that.  We'll give you the low-down on how we got our start, what goes into making all this happen, who does what, and more.  We hope you all enjoy a little peek behind the curtain at AHC Podcast!

There are some celebrities and businesspeople that make where they are from part of their identity.  Jay-Z and New York, Mark Wahlberg and Boston, and who can forget Abe Froman the Sausage King of Chicago.  But as we embark on our 5th year of doing our show, we are going to pay homage to one of the icons of our city.  Ted Turner and Atlanta.  Ted followed loosely in his father’s footsteps but built a cable empire that changed the way we watched television.  While Ted was a pioneer in the television world, he went on to do even more in his conservation efforts.  But there has to be some skeletons in that massive, walk-in closet after all these years, right?  Ever wonder why so many people are Braves fans in Pocatello, Idaho?  And what would you do if your wife turned into a religious fanatic mid-marriage?  We’ll dive into all this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Well, we hit a bit of a milestone with this show.  Not only has this been our most requested show subject, but we’re also celebrating our 5-year anniversary!  Thank you to all of you that listen and give us your support, it means the world to us!

Now, on to business… We’ve talked about royalty on our show, we’ve talked about people being the “greatest of all time” at their particular craft, but it’s hard to deny that Michael Jackson earned his title as the “King of Pop”.  MJ dominated the airwaves from the time he was a kid in the Jackson 5, to creating some of the most recognizable hits in his solo career.  While his music and dancing inspired generations to come, there was a lot, and I mean a lot, of off-stage behavior that had people asking a lot of questions.  And some of those people were the police.  Did MJ get a fair shake in all this, after seemingly being guilty in the court of public opinion?  How did his childhood play into his odd behavior?  And what did that room smell like when Michael caught his hair on fire?  We’ll dive into this and more in the Michael Jackson episode of AHC Podcast.

A lot of our show subjects have many, often well publicized incidents that make it no surprise that they find themselves in our courtroom.  There are also a lot of shows that we’re sure listeners see the subject and think, who?  Well, most of you have seen Terrence Howard on television and the movies, but today we’ll dive into one of the more, we’ll just say, interesting, people we’ve talked about on our show.  When a celebrity dives into other areas outside of their expertise, we’ve seen some crazy things happen.  But Terrence’s ideas of how basic math and physics work, now has a lot of people shaking their head.  Does his thinking prevent him from getting roles?  Is there more than just some crazy ideas that shone a negative light on the Hustle and Flow star?  Does 1x1, really equal 1?  We’ll dive into all this and more in the Terrence Howard episode of AHC Podcast.

Tiger Woods lit the golf world on fire in the mid 90’s and his meteoric rise to the top of golf was something the sport hadn’t seen before.  He brought a completely new audience to the game and kickstarted a renaissance that golf is still reaping the benefits of today.  He maintained a squeaky-clean public image, until that all came crashing down in one of the most publicized, extra-marital affairs of all time.  But with all the accomplishments he saw on the golf course, how much will the “waitress heard ‘round the world” impact his legacy?  Did Tiger have a type, or was he open to what was available?  Was Tiger’s ex, Elin, really an undercover ninja?  We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

If you don’t recognize the name, don’t let that deter you from listening to this episode.  If you do recognize the name, you’ll definitely understand why he’s in the courtroom today.  David Duke was an influencer before the internet, and the brand that he was promoting and platform he was trying to gain followers on, is not what the world needed (or needs).   Duke tried his best to bring the KKK from the backwoods to the boardroom, then took his act to the political stage.  How he made it as far as he did baffled us, but we’ll let you be the judge. How did David Duke get his rise to prominence?  Who was his target demographic?  Is it a common thing for a white supremacist to get face-altering plastic surgery?  We’ll dive into all this and more in the David Duke episode of AHC Podcast.

The world we live in now is much different than the one we all knew 30 years ago, all thanks to the internet.  The number of ways to make a living online these days is astounding, but the subject of this show made his mark long ago and seems determined to dominate YouTube.  Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson started out a young age, but quicky figured out the right way to captivate audiences and use the YouTube algorithms to his benefit.  His main channel is the most subscribed to page on the planet and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight?  But is everything as hunky-dorey as the mega-influencer makes it out to be?  What’s it like to work for him?  And would you cast your vote President in 2036 to this guy?  We’ll dive into all this and more in the MrBeast episode of AHC Podcast.
