There is a reason that the story of Robin Hood is a classic and appeals to the masses as a story of one that steals from the rich to give to the poor. If you’re not part of the ultra-wealthy, odds are you feel at least a little slighted by “the man” at times. Well, once in a while, one of “the men” truly does work to give more to those he serves. But as time has shown, as will this show, the ability to stay true to your values often goes out the window when power and the almighty dollar is involved. Huey “The Kingfish” Long was a powerful Senator that had eyes on the presidency, running on a platform of “every man is a king, but no one wears a crown” policies. It sounded great to many, but obviously not that great to the people that gunned him down. But were Long’s intentions as pure as he portrayed? Did he himself get tied up in political corruption? And how many times will the guys mistake Huey Long for Huey Lewis during this episode? We’ll dive into all this and more in the Huey Long episode of AHC Podcast.

We see careers in the acting world come and go at a rapid pace. If you ask any random person to name their favorite 10 actor or actresses, they will most likely struggle to even name 10 at all. But the subject of today’s show will most likely make the top ten list for a lot of people and has made his name one to remember. Jim Carrey blasted on to the scene when he joined the cast for In Living Color and it blossomed into a movie career that has spanned decades and made him a ton of money. If you go through his list of hits, you may not be human if you don’t love at least 2 or 3 of them. But what was like as a kid for Jim, growing up in Canada? How did he get his start in comedy? And can he answer the question we all asked, “will you face really get stuck like that?” We’ll dive into all this and more in the Jim Carrey episode of AHC Podcast.

We’ve all had that experience in life, when what you get is way different than what you thought you were getting into. It’s fair to make some assumptions, and when I see a band that has spiked shoulder pads, explosions everywhere, and their faces painted, I assume what I’m about to hear is going to be loud and wild. And then KISS begins to play….and everything you assumed goes right out the window. The theme seems to trickle down to its members of the band and the subject of our show today, co-founder and bassist, Gene Simmons. Simmons and his weirdly long tongue has found a way to stay relevant long after his famous band’s cycle had run it’s course. The stories around Simmons, the band, and the days on the road are epic, but I’ll go ahead and tell you that the book doesn't always fit the cover. What was Gene’s upbringing like? How did he get into music and the weird look the band used? And what does he exactly do with that long tongue? We’ll dive into all this and more in the Gene Simmons episode of AHC Podcast.

It seems like some people “have all the luck” when it comes to intelligence, charisma, and good looks. Ball all that up, throw in the fact that this show subject is the greatest quarterback to play in the NFL, and you have the ever-charmed, often-despised, Tom Brady. Brady went from a low-level draft pick out of Michigan to the elite player we all know, who holds the record for most Super Bowl victories and is considered the GOAT of pro football. But his controversies haven’t avoided the headlines. What was it like when his girlfriend found out that his recently dumped girlfriend was pregnant? What was it like in the Brady household growing up? And many fans have had their hearts ripped out of their chest by this man? We’ll dive into all this and more in the Tom Brady episode of AHC Podcast.

As for us, get ready for a new Asshole Court episode in two weeks, followed by a whole bunch of new episodes after that.

There have been many celebrities to lose their lives to unfortunate auto accidents, but there is one rumored accident that had potential to change the world of music forever. In 1966, while working on the Sgt. Peppers album, Paul McCartney was involved in an auto accident. While it's fairly obvious Paul is fine and well, the rumor that Paul had died surfaced and took the world by storm for a short time. Is there any truth to the odd circumstances around the rumor? What would the Fab Four have been like as George, Ringo, John, and Billy? We'll dive into this and more in this hilarious episode of Conspiracy Court.

We've all heard the phrase, "you like to eat the sausage, but you don't want to see how it's made". Well, in this episode we're going to do just that. We'll give you the low-down on how we got our start, what goes into making all this happen, who does what, and more. We hope you all enjoy a little peek behind the curtain at AHC Podcast!

There are some celebrities and businesspeople that make where they are from part of their identity. Jay-Z and New York, Mark Wahlberg and Boston, and who can forget Abe Froman the Sausage King of Chicago. But as we embark on our 5th year of doing our show, we are going to pay homage to one of the icons of our city. Ted Turner and Atlanta. Ted followed loosely in his father’s footsteps but built a cable empire that changed the way we watched television. While Ted was a pioneer in the television world, he went on to do even more in his conservation efforts. But there has to be some skeletons in that massive, walk-in closet after all these years, right? Ever wonder why so many people are Braves fans in Pocatello, Idaho? And what would you do if your wife turned into a religious fanatic mid-marriage? We’ll dive into all this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.
