From Bad Bunny’s halftime takeover to AI actresses replacing real talent, this week’s episode is pure chaos in the best way. Saraya is joined by Joey and Producer Adam (plus a surprise drop-in from Shelby) for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the wildest stories in pop culture, fandom, and the internet.

They unpack the drama behind Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B (including that brutal kid comment), the backlash against AI-generated talent in Hollywood, and whether Selena Gomez’s surprise wedding to Benny Blanco is a PR move or true love. From Metallica stans mourning another Super Bowl snub to Travis Kelce conspiracy theories and why Saraya’s dog is the unofficial fourth host, this one covers it all.

Also on the docket: Tyler’s emotional night meeting Tommy Lee, Wicked confessions, Joey’s accidental Broadway audition in a parking garage, and why Hot Topic might be sponsoring Adam’s next emo makeover.

Unfiltered, unscripted, and unhinged in all the right ways.

From haunted house bartending to tattooed necks at 15, Tyler Burgess has never lived a conventional day in his life, and this episode proves exactly why. Saraya sits down with the creative force behind the explosive new band American Monster to talk about leaving Ohio at 16, getting recruited via MySpace, and why building his debut project from the ground up means more than any tour he’s ever done.

They dive into Tyler’s early years cutting his teeth in dive bars and strip clubs, the emotional reality of losing his mom at 19, and a surreal encounter at a Las Vegas Dairy Queen that left everyone in the studio speechless. From long nights flyer'ing with his wife Shelby to designing his own merch, staging his own music videos, and writing every riff, Tyler opens up about doing the work no one sees, and the drive it takes to make something that actually lasts. He’s a marketer, a metalhead, a soft-spoken chaos engine, and one of Saraya’s real-life best friends.

Oh, and yes… there’s a couple’s trivia game, 10 shots of hot sauce, and Shelby makes her podcast debut (and suffers through the spiciest mistake of all).

This one’s vulnerable, funny, and full of fire. An absolute Rulebreaker.

From viral hot dog trays to one-take nightmare fuel, Weapons stars Callie Shuterra and Clayton Farris prove that it only takes one unforgettable scene to become horror icons. In this episode, Saraya sits down with the breakout duo behind the movie’s creepiest moments to talk all things culty, creepy, and controversial - from choreographing that now-infamous marionette walk to accidentally igniting a hot dog-fueled internet debate about queer representation in horror.

They talk about how they landed their roles (spoiler: one auditioned, one didn’t), Zach Cregger’s meticulous vision on set, and what it’s like to go mega-viral while only being on screen for five minutes. Callie breaks down the family superstition that led her to tape her belly button before possession scenes, while Clayton shares the pressure of making your character lovable just seconds before a gruesome death. They also get candid about long-distance love, staying grounded in Hollywood, and how horror fans might be the most loyal on the planet.

Oh, and yes… they’re already plotting their Weapons spin-off. Prequel energy only.

This one’s eerie, hilarious, and weirdly heartfelt. Pure October Rulebreakers magic.

From haunted dolls to death matches in graveyards, Shotzi is the rule-breaking, horror-loving wrestling renegade you need in your life and this episode proves exactly why. Saraya sits down with the former WWE star, indie icon, and paranormal thrill-seeker to talk about life after getting released, the real reasons she shaved her head, and how she’s taken full control of her career (and her chaos) outside the machine.

They dive into her 12-year journey in wrestling, from almost winning Tough Enough to getting scouted WrestleMania weekend, and the emotional rollercoaster of losing both her dads, supporting her sister through cancer, and navigating public scrutiny, all while still making spooky content and getting back in the ring stronger than ever. Shotzi opens up about her childhood trauma, her Filipino roots, and how finding love, therapy, and storytelling helped her heal.

Oh, and yes… she wrestled in her wedding dress after eloping in Vegas, wants to adopt a baby with her architect-turned-Disney-designer husband, and once had to poop during a WWE drug test. Traumatizing.

This one’s vulnerable, wild, hilarious, and deeply empowering. A true Rulebreaker.

From bees and butt plugs to ants and ADHD, Brandon Rogers is a creative chaos gremlin in the best possible way, and this episode proves exactly why. Saraya sits down with the iconic YouTuber, voice actor, and unfiltered comedy king to talk early internet fame, mushroom-fueled writing binges, and why he still edits everything in iMovie like it’s a sacred ritual.

They unpack Brandon’s California sober lifestyle (weed, yes - prescription drugs, no), the spiritual downloads he gets mid-trip, and how the internet felt lawless and alive back when we were all spreading that Marilyn Manson rib rumor. Brandon opens up about his Catholic upbringing, the deep grief he felt over Robin Williams’ death, and how ADHD has shaped his career, his relationships, and his sense of humor.

Oh, and yes… he sticks his hands into a mystery box of raw eggs, worms, spaghetti, and canned tomatoes for our brand-new segment “What’s In the F**king Box.”

He also eats some of it. On purpose.

This one’s hilarious, chaotic, and full of unfiltered brilliance. Rulebreakers, assemble.

Saraya sits down with the legendary stand-up, TikTok Yoda (without even having TikTok), and host of Friends with Privileges to unpack a lifetime of big talk, fearless comedy, and the kind of wisdom that vibrates through your soul and leaves you changed.

They dive deep into Monique’s rise from the chaos of 1980s Miami to becoming the breakout star of Dry Bar comedy, how she flipped pain into power with a single prayer, and why Iceland, Amsterdam, and a Disney annual pass were all portals to personal rebirth. From her surreal friendship with a gay Disney prince to a life philosophy rooted in energy, boundaries, and radical love, Monique proves that healing can be hilarious, and that life is your movie, so you better cast it right.

Oh, and yes… she absolutely blew up a Coinbase scam call in under 30 seconds. Boss behavior.

From surviving an abusive relationship in high school to leading the National Domestic Violence Hotline through a $30 million expansion, Katie Ray-Jones is proof that healing is possible and powerful. In this deeply personal episode, Saraya sits down with the CEO, survivor, and fellow board member to talk about the long road from trauma to purpose, and how Katie has turned her pain into protection for millions.

They unpack the emotional layers of abuse that often go unseen - financial, emotional, psychological - and the heartbreaking realities of what it means to survive in silence. Katie shares how her early dreams of becoming a lawyer shifted after witnessing the terror victims face in courtrooms, how being hands-on with hotline operators keeps her grounded in the work, and why she didn’t even realize her first relationship was abusive until years into her career. Saraya opens up about her own past with intimate partner violence, and the two women share a raw, candid conversation about resilience, recovery, and reclaiming your sense of self.

They talk PTSD, therapy, the power of community, and why the phrase “Why didn’t they just leave?” needs to die forever. Plus, what happens when the person causing harm calls the hotline? And can abusive behavior really be unlearned? This episode answers those questions and then some.

Oh, and yes… Katie crushes the mouthguard challenge and turns out to be a dark horse Rulebreaker game-night champ. Absolutely iconic.

This one’s vulnerable, vital, and packed with truth. Listen with your heart open.

From chicken cutlet dinners to the chaos of shock-collar trivia, Deonna Purrazzo and Steve Maclin are the wrestling world’s favorite power couple, and this episode proves exactly why. Saraya sits down with the AEW star and the former Marine-turned-TNA champion to unpack their unlikely love story, the unfiltered reality of being in a relationship across rival promotions, and how they’ve built a life around mutual respect, relentless ambition, and a whole lot of teasing.

They talk about Deonna’s early start in indie wrestling (and a pea coat Steve threw out thinking he’d never see her again), the surprise South Carolina proposal that had parkgoers cheering, and the emotional highs and lows of navigating public scrutiny, especially for women in wrestling. From internet trolls criticizing body image to producing your own character vignettes when no one else will, Deonna opens up about what it really takes to stay empowered in the ring and behind the scenes. And yes, Steve gets deep about his time in the Marines, how wrestling saved him post-service, and why Deonna is the rock that keeps him in line.

Oh, and yes… there’s a couple’s trivia game, a live shock collar challenge, and somehow Steve volunteers for a full-power jolt. Maniac.

This one’s romantic, hilarious, and full of heart. Rulebreakers to the core.

Episode Description:

From MySpace bulletin boards to Warped Tour pit reporting, Tori Kravitz has always known how to make noise in the music world. What started as a teenage blog turned into interviews with Ariana Grande and All Time Low, a fan-voted win that made her the face of Warped Tour, and now a powerhouse career as a publicist and podcaster. In this episode, Saraya sits down with the self-made scene queen to talk hustling her way into green rooms at 15, the grind of proving herself in a male-dominated industry, and how she’s built a reputation as one of the most trusted voices in rock.

They dive into the chaos of internet trolls accusing her of sleeping her way into interviews (while she hadn’t even had her first kiss), surviving toxic industry dynamics, and navigating dating when everyone assumes backstage passes are part of the deal. Plus, Tori opens up about her quarter-life crisis detour as a fitness coach, her vegan journey (yes, that includes handing out questionable PETA cheese), and the confidence it takes to reinvent yourself again and again.

Oh, and yes…Saraya somehow ends up talking Goo Goo Dolls, paranormal vibes, reincarnation theories, and Tori takes on the mouth guard challenge. Drool was spilled.

This one’s raw, funny, and fiercely inspiring, a true Rulebreakers ride from start to finish.
