1 hr 27 min - Masculinity is Confusing with Hal Rudnick
This week on That Was Wild, Adam welcome the hilarious Hal Rudnick (Screen Junkies, Key and Peele, Community) to talk about his new one man show Jersey Devil now play at the Hollywood Fringe! They dive deep into the insane character that the show is based on, Roger Rudnick - who was a gambling addict, show promoter, and thief!
Speaking of toxic, Adam and Hal dive into this wild internet trend of taking Sam Brown's poem to then super cut it with pictures of T-rex's, muscle cars, muscle men, and fighter jets. It's very base but also very cool. Hal and Adam talk about their experience with toxic masculinity with their toxic dads and how all though t-rex's are cool, maybe you don't need them to be masculine.

Google just dropped Veo 3 - their new AI video model, and the internet’s first instinct? Make it suffer. Comedian Dina Mild joins Adam Macias to unpack the absurdity of Veo-generated AI despair, and why humans immediately turned Skynet into an episode of Black Mirror.
But that’s not all—Dena opens up about her immigrant life, the Russian face of customer service, and the time she got punched by a homeless man in Hollywood. Plus, the duo dig into the concept of happiness, messy families, and whether contentment is just a 5 out of 10 marriage waiting to happen.
Also: subway envy, AI adult films, meditation injuries, and what it’s like working Moscow hours in downtown LA. This episode is deep, dumb, and definitely wild.
🎧 Listen now before the AI revolt begins.

1 hr 1 min - How to NOT Panic (Even though your Panic Coach is yelling at you) w/Viva Rose 😱
You are panicking right now and need help. So you turn to the internet and you are greeted by a creatine salesman in a PF Changs who starts yelling at you to stop panicking. Does this help??
Adam Macias and the hilarious Viva Rose dive into the weird world of TikTok “panic attack coaches” and the rise of influencer therapy… where the cure might be worse than the panic.Also, in theme of Adam’s one-person-show, Messy Ass Adam is focusing on messy stories this month!
Viva shares a story about a chaotic group chat featuring a Trump-loving theater bro who got kicked out during the George Floyd protests. Turns out his own texts were Chekov's gun, level of foreshadowing for his doucebaggery.
Viva also shares her journey from bathroom breakdowns to declaring she’s officially not mentally ill (just kind of intolerable) - which is also the plot of her one-woman show Hidden Gem, debuting this week at Hollywood Fringe. Meanwhile, Adam talks about grief, sobriety, and meeting Elon Musk on the same day he was supposed to spread his dad’s ashes - aka the emotional chaos behind his show Messy Ass.
Hit play if your algorithm thinks you’re too mentally stable. 🎧🧠💥

1 hr - Brittany Furlan, Tommy Lee, and Ronnie Radke - The Hot Topic Love Triangle ⚠️
From Vine Star to FBI Target? In this episode, Adam and Steve Sotelo dive headfirst into the messiest celebrity catfish saga of the year. Brittany Furlan (yes, Tommy Lee’s wife) thought she was flirting with bad-boy rocker Ronnie Radke… only to find out she might’ve been talking to a scammer. Or was she? Now the FBI’s involved, marriages are crumbling, and Ronnie’s doing iPhone tutorials to prove his innocence.
We break it all down — from Brittany’s hotel confessions to Ronnie’s TikTok beefs to the ethics of adult Snapchat use (spoiler: it’s gross). Plus, Steve shares his wildest workplace drama that ends in a fake HR kink negotiation, and we uncover a fast-food conspiracy that might link Five Guys to the actual mob. (Shaq is involved.)
Strap in, wild things. This one’s got catfish, canceled rockers, and a red wave that’s not what you think. 🎧

1 hr 13 min - Couple Married at CANNIBAL CORPSE Show 🤘 W/ Jason Kaye
Two words: mosh pit wedding. This week, Adam welcomes voice actor, comedian, and guitar madman Jason Kaye to talk about the couple who said “I do” in the middle of a Cannibal Corpse concert. There’s blood, there’s love, and yes — there’s breakdowns (emotional and musical).
🎸 Plus: Jason reveals how he became the Southern-fried Joseph Stalin, and they both confess to being music nerds who accidentally joined the comedy cult. From glam metal parody bands to impersonating Albert Brooks, this episode rips harder than a bass solo in a Chili Peppers cover band.

51 min - The Grind of Comedy w/Josh Edelman
In this episode of That Was Wild, Adam Macias sits down with Josh Edelman to talk about the grind of the comedy world, social media strategy, and how to juggle being a comedian, producer, and documentary filmmaker. From meme-ing the news to producing undiscovered talent at the improv, Josh is here to spill the beans on how he stays prolific and why sometimes it feels like the only way to avoid the crushing weight of existential dread is to stay busy. 🎤💥
Josh opens up about his viral documentary Mental Al about Al Lubell, the legendary comedian who mixes dark humor with an alternative style of comedy before it was even cool, and how creating content for social media isn’t always as glamorous as it looks. From Instagram memes to creating viral stand-up videos, Josh gives us an inside look at the trial and error of trying to keep up with the pace of content creation.
Plus, Adam and Josh talk about the chaotic world of producing multiple comedy shows and how comedy is often about community building as much as performing. They dive deep into what it’s like being part of a scene that’s constantly evolving - whether it’s through social media clout or a tight-knit comedy club family.
So, if you're ready for some behind-the-scenes insights into the real grind of the comedy industry and how social media can make you or break you, hit play, like, subscribe, and share with your friend who thinks they can "do comedy full-time"—but still hasn’t posted their first TikTok. 🎧🔥

1 hr 1 min - Are Crowd Work Videos Fake? The Truth About Social Media and Rage Bait 😡
This week on That Was Wild, Adam Macias is joined by comedian Sam Harte. They dive deep into the world of crowd work and whether the viral videos we see on social media are really as spontaneous as they seem. Are these clips of comedians roasting their audiences all real, or have they been carefully crafted for maximum laughs? 🎤📱
Aries spears recently posted a series of videos that featured a very racist and also very well-lit audience member that had Adam questioning whether or not this was real. They dissect the hilarious video to see if there are any clues to it authenticity.
Plus Adam and Sam dive into the most rag bait-ey topic there is on the internet - the homeless crisis in LA. Or the Mental health crisis. Or is it Both and is LA just filled with mentally unwell people who watched a bunch of movies that made it ok to move here with no money? These two comedians get to the bottom of it! 🤡
So grab your popcorn, scroll through TikTok for some “real” comedy, and get ready to unpack the truth behind social media and rage bait. Like, subscribe, and share with your friend who still believes everything they see on the internet. 🎧🔥
