  • Ryan Makes this Borderline Unlistenable

    I listen to this pod for Jack. The minus one star is for Ryan. He is absolutely insufferable and contributes nothing but awkwardness. Jack, please consider doing this solo.

  • Cohost Drove me Away

    Really tried to enjoy this, but Ryan is hard to listen to. Listened to the Howie Mandel episode and had to push to finish. Can’t say I’ll try another episode with Ryan there. Interrupts, derails the conversation and seems a bit insufferable. Sorry, Jack.

  • Ditch Ryan

    Jack is a fantastic host and clearly awesome person. He has a certain inherent kindness that makes listening to him soothing like a good friend. There is wisdom and maturity there. Also, he understands social cues and how to have a conversation. He brings out the best in his guests. Conversely, Ryan Drexler is obnoxious, talks over and tries to one up the guests, and for reasons unknown has a huge ego. I’m sorry, I don’t like being so blunt but he’s just really unlikable. It sounds like he still... more

    Jack, you should try an episode where you ask Ryan how he ripped off 1,000’s of investors in his failed company Musclepharm by diluting their investment and then issuing the company shares to himself via bonus. That would be a good business “what not to do unless you’re a douche” episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Howie Mandel Talks OCD and Conspiracy Theories
Q: What sparked your shift from hiding OCD to using it as a platform to help others?
The Howard Stern reveal was a turning point that, while terrifying at first, connected me with others and underscored the importance of removing stigma and sharing coping mechanisms.
Howie Mandel Talks OCD and Conspiracy Theories
Q: You've always been open about OCD, but when did it first pop up for you and how did people around you react?
OCD has been part of me for as long as I can remember, and it wasn't talked about in my generation; the realization came later with diagnosis and coping strategies that helped me live with it.
Dan MacPherson On Acting, MMA Training, Ironman & Mental Health
Q: What impact did aging and personal life have on your career decisions?
Mid-life shifts, such as starting a family and navigating aging, prompted me to refocus on acting while maintaining health routines, which ultimately informed the depth and responsibility I bring to characters.
Dan MacPherson On Acting, MMA Training, Ironman & Mental Health
Q: How did you approach learning so many martial arts for a role and still keep acting elements authentic?
I trained in boxing, Muay Thai, and Jiu-Jitsu separately to build fluency in each language, then integrated them to create a cohesive on-screen performance with the help of a dedicated coach and a strong team.
Chris D'Elia on Addiction, Accountability, and What Comes After Losing Everything
Q: What did you do when you were getting death threats?
You develop a very thick skin, a very thick skin because on stage you realize that's not real life, the hate online isn't true.
