Today, weâre diving into the wild, leather-clad legend of Jim Morrisonâthe man who fancied himself a poet, a prophet, and a psychedelic sex god all rolled into one. He was the voice of a generation, or at least the voice echoing through a lot of smoke-filled dorm rooms. Frontman of The Doors, self-proclaimed Lizard King, and walking contradiction, Morrison blurred the line between genius and trainwreck with every slurred monologue and shirtless stage dive. Was he a visionary artist or just your drunk philosophy major friend with a tambourine and a God complex? Letâs find outâon this episode of Asshole Court.MUSIC CREDIT:"Bobby Renz - Oceans" is under a Free To Use YouTube license / bobby-renz-524042408 Music powered by BreakingCopyright: âą [Non Copyrighted Music] Bobby Renz - ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYCR0kvz2R4&list=PLfP6i5T0-DkJ0thUypSlonFr1cgJdtiLj&index=9SOURCE CITATIONS:Davis, S.

Weâve all heard the phrase, âdonât ever meet your heroesâ and while it may ring true for some Hollywood elites, there are some exceptions to the rule. It would depend on what kind of âmeetingâ you would want to have with todayâs show subject, but for most, we would most likely ask to be dropped off after dinner and a couple drinks. Lawrence Taylor is considered by many to be the greatest defensive player the NFL has ever seen. His recklessness and athleticism were something the league hadnât seen before, leading to new blocking schemes to try and slow him down, extensive professional accolades, and two Super Bowl rings along the way. LT seemed to have the football part of his life down pat. But to quote the late, great Rick James, âcocaine is a hell of a drugâ. LT lived a hard partying lifestyle of epic proportions, and at some point, it almost cost him his career. Did his love of the white lady ever effect his play on the field? How early did all his drug use start? How many hookers did this guy buy in a day? Weâll dive into all this and more in the Lawrence Taylor episode of AHC Podcast.

Have you ever been around someone that just makes you nervous the whole time? You never know what they are going to do, what they may say, or what kind of trouble YOU may get in just by being around them. From the image heâs created over the years, Conor McGregor definitely seems like someone you would want to be on your toes around. Heâs knockout out many of people, legally, in the octagon, becoming one of UFCâs most celebrated champions. But he has a tendency to not keep his hands to himself when playing with others in the sandbox of life, and itâs seems it could start to catch up with him. Can Conor chill with the public pugilism and enjoy the bookoos of bucks heâs made, or will he find his way into the cancel culture whirlwind? Weâll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Back in the 80âs you had the surfer bros out in California and of course the Wall St. bros on the east coast. Time evolves and we had to endure the popped-collar Jersey Shore bros, and most recently we may have run into the most annoying version of them, the crypto bros. And this show is about none other than the king of the crypto bros, Sam Bankman-Fried. SBF (as the bros call him) made a massive splash as he took his company, FTX, to the top of the crypto world in very short order. There were celebrity endorsements, cutting-edge software and lots and lots of money to be made. Until it all came crashing down and the ponzi scheme SBF had been running was brought to light and he now gets share a cell block with Diddy and Luigi. What got Sam into the crypto space to start with? Did his upbringing lead him down the path he went down? Is he going to trim those curly locks in prison? Weâll dive into this and a whole lot more in the Sam Bankman-Fried episode of AHC Podcast.

It appears history lets a few folks slip through the cracks when it comes to who makes the history books. The show subject today lived a life thatâs straight out of a James Bond movie â espionage, bribes, business deals and of course, multiple women. But it seems as though most of the public has never heard of this dude. Armand Hammer worked directly with 7 presidents, along with Russian leaders, to grow diplomacy and his personal fortune in the process. But there was a lot of ulterior motives behind a lot of what Hammer did. How does a guy that supported Russian spies in the US now have highways named after him? Was his relationship with the Russians in good faith, or was he a traitor to the country that made him rich? And how far did he go to try and hide his mistress from his wife? Weâll dive into all this and more in the Armand Hammer episode of AHC Podcast.

It couldnât be truer that people pay attention to who the President, King, or Prime Minister is hanging out with. It would make sense that the people closest to the person in charge would have at least a voice in the ear of the person calling the shots. We have an interesting situation going on now, but imagine if the person closest to the person in charge of an empire was a self-proclaimed mystic and faith healer? What would it look like with Ms. Cleo in the ear of George W. during the tough days following 9/11? Enter the tale of Rasputin. Grigori Rasputin came from the remote area of Siberia to become one of the major influences of the Russian Empire. His rise to prominence was carved by the path of religion and many thought he had healing powers, including the King and Queen. But did Rasputin live the holy life he preached about? What was his relationship with the Kingâs children really like? If he wasnât funny, and not good looking at all, how did he pull so much tail? Weâll dive into all this and more in the Rasputin episode of AHC Podcast.

We always like to start the year off on a positive note and this show subject most certainly fits the bill. Betty White had a career in show business that lasted seven decades. She was one of Americaâs sweethearts and won over the hearts of many in her prime-time roles. Just when you thought she was in her twilight years, she had a career resurgence like weâve never seen before. She entertained us until she was in her 90âs and the country mourned when she passed. But with all the people and characters she ran into during her career, was it all sunshine and roses? How did her co-stars feel about her? Was the beef with her and Bea Arthur real? Weâll dive into all this and more in the Betty White episode of AHC Podcast.

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 youâre not part of the ultra-wealthy, odds are you feel at least a little slighted by âthe manâ at times. Well, once in a while, one of âthe menâ 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 âThe Kingfishâ Long was a powerful Senator that had eyes on the presidency, running on a platform of âevery man is a king, but no one wears a crownâ policies. It sounded great to many, but obviously not that great to the people that gunned him down. But were Longâs 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? Weâll 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 todayâs 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 donât 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, âwill you face really get stuck like that?â Weâll dive into all this and more in the Jim Carrey episode of AHC Podcast.

Weâve all had that experience in life, when what you get is way different than what you thought you were getting into. Itâs 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 Iâm about to hear is going to be loud and wild. And then KISS begins to playâŠ.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 bandâs cycle had run itâs course. The stories around Simmons, the band, and the days on the road are epic, but Iâll go ahead and tell you that the book doesn't always fit the cover. What was Geneâs 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? Weâll dive into all this and more in the Gene Simmons episode of AHC Podcast.

It seems like some people âhave all the luckâ 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 havenât 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? Weâll dive into all this and more in the Tom Brady episode of AHC Podcast.

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.

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 fatherâs 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? Weâll dive into all this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Well, we hit a bit of a milestone with this show. Not only has this been our most requested show subject, but weâre also celebrating our 5-year anniversary! Thank you to all of you that listen and give us your support, it means the world to us!
Now, on to business⊠Weâve talked about royalty on our show, weâve talked about people being the âgreatest of all timeâ at their particular craft, but itâs hard to deny that Michael Jackson earned his title as the âKing of Popâ. MJ dominated the airwaves from the time he was a kid in the Jackson 5, to creating some of the most recognizable hits in his solo career. While his music and dancing inspired generations to come, there was a lot, and I mean a lot, of off-stage behavior that had people asking a lot of questions. And some of those people were the police. Did MJ get a fair shake in all this, after seemingly being guilty in the court of public opinion? How did his childhood play into his odd behavior? And what did that room smell like when Michael caught his hair on fire? Weâll dive into this and more in the Michael Jackson episode of AHC Podcast.

Tiger Woods lit the golf world on fire in the mid 90âs and his meteoric rise to the top of golf was something the sport hadnât seen before. He brought a completely new audience to the game and kickstarted a renaissance that golf is still reaping the benefits of today. He maintained a squeaky-clean public image, until that all came crashing down in one of the most publicized, extra-marital affairs of all time. But with all the accomplishments he saw on the golf course, how much will the âwaitress heard âround the worldâ impact his legacy? Did Tiger have a type, or was he open to what was available? Was Tigerâs ex, Elin, really an undercover ninja? Weâll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.
