  • Comforting

    So I have been going through a rough patch and have been re watching The Real World Los Angeles. The Comfort it brings me is nice. I miss those fun days of being young and living in LA. Your podcast is just as comforting. You both are like old friends I have never met!!

  • I never knew how much I would love this until I listen to my first episode.

    Jon and Beth are amazing. I never thought in 1 million years that I would love a podcast like this. I listen to them every day at work when I can. Their guests are amazing and the best guest they had was the iconic Coral Smith. The fact that they were able to get her on this podcast is killer!!!! I had the opportunity to ask her my question and have a small little conversation with her and I was so starstruck to meet her. She is truly a genuine person, despite of what anyone would think of her. ... more

  • Show is bad

    Please less complaining about not getting a call back Jon and less talk about how much you hate bananas. Beth is great on the pod but Jon just sounds like a bitter old man.

  • What a Dynamic Duo!

    The stories Jon and Beth talk about are fun and heartfelt! Their banter is unmatched! I watched them when The Real World was playing, real time on MTV. Back in those days we had to wait to see what would happen next! The guests they have always surprise me. I’ve learned so much about the guests that I would never have known if it hadn’t been for, Jon and Beth having them as a guest. I highly recommend this podcast, I look forward to each new episode. TRUE STORY!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Eli Frankel: “Sisters In Death”
Q: Eli, when you were looking at all of the files that you got, what was the biggest thing that stood out to you and you were like, oh, I've got to write a book?
The discovery that the victim's own life and experiences, not just the killer's actions, provided essential clues. This shift in focus helped frame Sisters In Death as a study of Elizabeth Short as a person and not merely a victim, guiding the investigative narrative.
Alanna Conaway: “My Bingo Card"
Q: What has been the biggest change in lifestyle or routine since diagnosis?
Dietary changes to support liver and overall health, regular CT scans to monitor progress, a shift to more protein-rich meals, increased water intake, and a focus on a lighter maintenance chemo regimen, along with staying mentally resilient through prayer and support from family and friends.
Alanna Conaway: “My Bingo Card"
Q: How did the cancer get discovered and what was the initial plan after diagnosis?
Doctors found liver metastases and stage four colon cancer after a series of tests, leading to immediate chemotherapy and the installation of a port to facilitate ongoing treatment; later, a second opinion at Vanderbilt clarified that surgery wouldn't be an option and confirmed the need for systemic chemo with plans to pursue remission and maintenance therapy.
Chris Kael: “Metal Beard”
Q: What are some memorable moments with rock legends you've met along the way?
Stories include Gene Simmons and Rob Halford watching shows, Marilyn Manson inviting him to a birthday party, and Alice Cooper being a generous, attentive presence; these encounters shaped his perspective on longevity in rock.
Chris Kael: “Metal Beard”
Q: How did you land the Five Finger Death Punch gig, and what was your audition process like?
He describes moving to Vegas, taking a pay cut, and sending a bold DM to the guitarist; after an audition week, he proved himself with his vocal versatility and was offered the role.
