The Church Is a Business — Nathan Apffel Exposes the $1 Trillion Religion Racket | Ep 261 HTBITY Jun 10, 2026 8871 This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Nathan Apffel — Emmy-nominated filmmaker, Christ follower, and the creator of the docuseries The Religion Business — and what started as a conversation about his documentary turned into one of the most wide-open, genuinely surprising talks I've had on this show. Nathan drove down from San Diego to be here, and I'm glad he did, because this one we
Kelly Dodd Gets Real: Getting Fired from TV, Cancel Culture, and Why She Has Zero Regrets | Ep 260 Jun 3, 2026 5716 This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Kelly Dodd — former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, co-host of The Daily Smash, and one of the most polarizing personalities to ever appear on Bravo — and she came in with absolutely zero filter. Kelly is the kind of guest who makes you realize within the first five minutes that the reputation is real, the energy is real, and the la
Sheriff Chad Bianco Exposes California's Corruption, & Shares His Plan to Fix It All | Ep 259 HTBITY May 27, 2026 7832 This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Sheriff Chad Bianco — the 14th Sheriff of Riverside County and Republican candidate for Governor of California — and I have to say, this one genuinely blew my mind. I've had a lot of guests on this couch, but when a sitting sheriff starts breaking down the machinery of corruption in plain English, you stop cracking jokes and you start taking note
The Hole Under My Driveway, Spencer Pratt for Mayor, and the Hantavirus Cruise Ship | Ep 258 HTBITY May 26, 2026 6047 In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I get into the literal hole that opened up under my driveway — 35 feet deep, undisclosed by the previous owner, and possibly connected to LA's underground tunnel system. Or it's a leech pit. Either way, I'm thinking merch. We're also seeing angel numbers everywhere and the pod is growing, so the universe is clearly on board. From there I get into
Harland Williams Wrote, Directed & Starred in a Movie — And Ryan Gosling House Sat for Him | Ep 257 May 20, 2026 5362 This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Harland Williams — Canadian-born comedian, cult movie icon, and one of the most genuinely original minds I've encountered in 30 years of this business — and I have to tell you, this one got weird fast and I loved every second of it. We've known each other for three decades, and somehow this is the first time we've really gone deep on camera. Buck
Immigration, the Comedy Store Golden Age, and Sam Kinison Drama with Paul Rodriguez | Ep 256 HTBITY May 13, 2026 5629 This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Paul Rodriguez — comedian, actor, Air Force veteran, and one of the original Latin Kings of Comedy — and I have to tell you, this one hit different. Paul is someone I've known for years, seen work rooms that would humble most people, and watched stay out there grinding long after most guys his age would have cashed out. We got into everything: hi
Spencer Charnas Breaks Down Horror, Metal & the Ice Nine Kills Cinematic Universe | Ep. 255 HTBITY May 6, 2026 5959 Spencer Charnas joins me for a conversation about horror movies, heavy music, fandom culture, and how Ice Nine Kills evolved from a metal band into a full cinematic universe. We talk about the band’s obsession with horror films, creating music inspired by iconic slashers, building collectible merch fans actually care about, and why horror audiences are some of the most loyal fans in entertainment
Scream Years, Hollywood Friendships, and Never Leaving L.A. with Jerry O'Connell | Ep 254 HTBITY Apr 29, 2026 6921 This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Jerry O'Connell — actor, TV host, husband, dad, and one of my genuinely old friends from the Hollywood trenches — and we went for almost two hours without coming up for air. That's always a good sign. Jerry and I go way back to the Scream 2 days, and we've never really told this story in public before. So we did. All of it. Growing up as a child
From San Fernando to Sold Out: How Concrete Built a Comedy Career Apr 22, 2026 5654 This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Concrete, comedian, content creator, and Power 106 morning show host, and we didn't stop talking for almost two hours. That's usually a good sign. This one covers a lot of ground: growing up first-generation Mexican-American in San Fernando, rapping alongside Nipsey Hussle as teenagers, losing his best friend at the peak of everything, walking a
UFOs Nobody's Talking About, Coachella Narcissism, and Who Owns the Green Room | Ep 252 HTBITY Apr 15, 2026 4269 In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I get into the fireball and UFO footage that keeps showing up on TikTok and disappearing just as fast. Orbs, plasma, fireballs over Indonesia — and nobody's following up. Not CNN, not Fox. I'm starting to think we're right on the edge of the biggest disclosure in human history and everyone's just watching the national championship. From there I re
From Conspiracies to Faith… What Happens When You Go Too Deep with Jamie Hanshaw Dyer | Ep 251 HTBITY Apr 8, 2026 6763 In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Hanshaw Dyer for a conversation that goes way beyond surface-level takes on Hollywood and culture. We get into her personal journey from falling deep into conspiracy research to exploring spirituality, religion, and how she now sees the world. We talk about what it’s actually like to go down the rabbit hole, how media and symbolism shape the way people think
The Druski Controversy… Is This Acting or Something Else | Ep 250 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy Apr 2, 2026 4765 In this solo episode, I react to the Druski controversy and get into a bigger question that comedy keeps running into: what counts as acting, what counts as parody, and where people draw the line. I talk about transformation, hidden camera, why I’ve always seen character work as real acting, and why comedy still doesn’t get the same respect as drama. From there I get into some of my old JKX chara
