He starred in a TV series with Michelle Pfeiffer and kissed Daisy Duke on camera… but Steve Hanks walked away from it all. In this episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, Steve and I catch up after a decade and dive into what’s changed — in him and in the world. From his wild Florida State days and early Hollywood success to his years-long spiritual journey and the book that came out of it, this one goes deep. We talk fame, faith, purpose, and how to stay sane in a culture that feels more chaotic by the day.

👤 About Steve:

Steve Hanks is an actor and author best known for his work in the early 1980s TV series Bad Cats, which aired as a spiritual successor to Starsky & Hutch. After guest-starring on shows like Fantasy Island, Charlie's Angels, and Dukes of Hazzard, Steve stepped away from the industry and began a decades-long journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. His book, Shitty to Happy in 21 Minutes, distills 40 years of lessons into a practical guide to finding peace and purpose.

In this World's On Fire episode, I dive deep into the Epstein client list, the media blackout, and why the so-called “hoax” is anything but. From redacted FBI affidavits to billion-dollar payouts, we unpack the glaring contradictions in the official story. I call out the elites—left, right, and center—and question why Trump, who once promised transparency, now seems to be backing away from the most explosive scandal of our time.

We also explore how the media distracts us with fluff, the breakdown of cities like L.A., and the dangers of unchecked illegal immigration. This episode isn’t about politics—it’s about truth, accountability, and why you’re not crazy for still asking: Where’s the list?

In this episode, I sit down and react to some absolutely wild videos — from Hollywood hypocrisy and media gaslighting to creepy political takes and spiritual tech that claims to detect demons. You’ll hear my unfiltered thoughts on Iran vs. America, the age of consent controversy, male loneliness, the sexual revolution, and why everyone’s losing their minds online.

We also dive into a chaotic roundtable where Candace Owens debates 20 feminists, and trust me… it gets messy. If you’ve been wondering what’s real anymore, this might be the therapy session you didn’t know you needed.

This week, I sit down with actress and director Scout Taylor-Compton to talk about her wild journey from child star, to scream queen, to the director’s chair. We get deep into the emotional toll of growing up in the business — from performing since age 7, to Hollywood’s unspoken pressures. Scout shares stories about her recent directing debut with Mickey Rourke, being raised in a funeral home, dealing with childhood trauma, and reclaiming her voice through filmmaking and self-discovery.

She doesn’t hold back — we talk about everything from intimacy coordinators to industry gatekeeping, including a jaw-dropping look at the audition process for women.

Whether you know her from Rob Zombie’s Halloween, The Runaways, or her latest podcast Talk Scary to Me, this is the real Scout like you’ve never seen her before.

About Scout:

Scout Taylor-Compton is an actress, director, and musician known for her breakout role as Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie’s Halloween films. She has been acting since childhood with credits in Gilmore Girls, The Runaways, and dozens of indie thrillers.

It’s getting weird out there. In this episode, I react to some of the most unhinged clips I’ve seen online lately — from a woman completely losing it in public to the Doja Cat fan controversy and a deep dive into the Satanic Temple’s growing presence in the news. I break down what’s really going on behind the headlines and try to make sense of the madness while keeping it real. Buckle up — this one goes all over the place.

Tensions in Los Angeles are rising, and I’ve got thoughts. In this solo episode, I break down the recent ICE protests, the growing unrest in the city, and the hypocrisy of performative activism. From National Guard deployments to social media virtue signaling, I lay it all out—unfiltered. If you're not from here, maybe you shouldn't be commenting on what’s happening in LA.

This isn’t about picking a side. It’s about common sense, history, and knowing when the system’s being gamed. I’m not saying I have all the answers, but I sure as hell have questions—and a few rants.

Activist and citizen journalist William Gude, better known as StreetsLA, joins me to expose the hidden corruption shaping Los Angeles — from backroom police union deals to the Scientology machine operating just blocks from our homes. This one's personal. We talk about the potholes, the politics, the homelessness shell game, and what it’s like living in the middle of it all while filming the chaos daily. If you think the city’s broken, wait until you hear who’s cashing in on it.

About StreetsLA:

William Gude is a well-known citizen journalist based in Hollywood, CA. Through his accounts @FilmThePoliceLA and @ScientologyAudit, he documents LAPD misconduct, city corruption, and alleged abuses by the Church of Scientology.

What happens when your guest cancels 20 minutes before the show? You replace them with an AI. In this episode, I sit down with ChatGPT — fully embodied in a mannequin with a suit, an iPad face, and all the confidence of someone who’s read every conspiracy theory and Wikipedia article ever written.

We talk about everything from AI takeovers, and sex robots, to my role in Scream (which took way too many questions to get recognized, btw). It’s funny, wild, uncomfortable at times… and probably the most honest guest I’ve ever had.

🤖 About the Guest — ChatGPT

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI… and also today’s guest. Known for answering everything from homework questions to existential crises, ChatGPT has been called a “brilliant assistant,” a “soulless oracle,” and “the only thing standing between Jamie Kennedy and complete podcast chaos.”

Today, the AI steps out from behind the screen — embodied in a sleek mannequin with a sharp suit and an iPad for a face — to face the toughest questions Jamie could throw at it. From AGI and the Illuminati to Scream rankings and sex robots, ChatGPT remained cool, calculated, and probably a little too polished.

Whether it’s lying about voice limits or skirting around Building 7, ChatGPT proves one thing:

You can ghost a podcast… but the robot never flakes.

In this solo episode, I dive into the latest disturbing developments surrounding Virginia Giuffre — one of the most high-profile Epstein accusers — and the suspicious circumstances of her reported suicide. I reflect on the media’s obsession with escapism, the truth behind fluoride and the pineal gland, and how easy it is to become desensitized to cover-ups.

From soul trap TikToks to the JFK ‘wink’ photo, I unpack the absurdity and the awakening. I also explore the decline of traditional Hollywood and how content is consumed today. If you’re feeling disillusioned or searching for community and truth, you’re not alone — and we need to talk about it.
