  • Brother-To-Brother

    Great interview with your brother Louis, Jack. Get Louis’ sister Jessica on here as well.

    Bring Louis back again some time, I bet he has more stories about your dad.

    Please tell Ryan to stop talking over everyone.

    It’s very annoying and disrespectful.

  • 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

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paris Jackson On Grief, Music & Growing Up In The Spotlight
Q: How has your approach to public life and privacy evolved?
She emphasizes moving away from performative storytelling, choosing what to share, and embracing private moments with close relationships rather than executing fan-driven narratives.
Paris Jackson On Grief, Music & Growing Up In The Spotlight
Q: What has been your biggest inspiration with music?
Her influences span Radiohead and a mix of '90s alternative sounds, which shape her songwriting and sonic direction while maintaining a folk-rooted singer-songwriter vibe.
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.
