We've come to the end of Season 2! They discuss the ups and downs of Season 2 while, of course, reviewing some of he latest movies and television shows. Alan and Joey had been invited to the cast & crew screening of "After Forever", the Prime Video series now airing its third and final season and decided to have as their final guest, actor Kevin Spirtas, best known for paying the dashing Dr. Craig Wesley on NBC's "Days of Our Lives." Among his many credits is Nick in the slasher film Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) which, of course, is our favorite.

Many listeners have requested that Alan and Joey do an episode on their own, without a guest. The holidays felt like the best time not to intrude upon a guest appearance so the Two Guys sat down and ranted and raved about some of their most unfavorite things, from driving while texting, mixing and matching designer labels and the general complacency of the world! Join them so you can complain a little alongside the pros!

Interview with Brandon Straka - interesting and a little combative. Born and raised in rural Nebraska and now a resident of New York City, Brandon created and promotes his #WalkAway Campaign message and his desire to bring a new awareness and understanding to the reality of politics in America today. He left his hatred for Trump and the Democratic party and "walked away" to the MAGA Republicans where he claims his mission is to unify America. We thought his message, while interesting, was a bit extreme in that he feels to fix America means burning the government to the ground. The most interesting takeaway here is that we agreed with Brandon on many topics and it was clear we wanted many of the same things despite our opposing party affiliations. We just felt there was a different way of achieving the goals than "walking away."

Exclusive interview with the author of THE REAL T AND ME: Two Decades of Love, Life, and Friendship with Tina Turner, which is publishing for the first time in North America on the same day this podcast premieres. At a young age Eddy used to pray he would become Tina's best friend and, years later, through perseverance and ingenuity, he met Ike & Tina Turner when he was only 14 years old and started their fan club. Then he lived through the tumultuous breakup of their marriage and became Tina's personal assistant, confidant, travel companion, and eventually became the person who created her new look as she broke into mega-stardom on her own. His story is, without a doubt, the most honest and intimate access to the private side of this international rock superstar and you will come away loving her even more!

It all started with an anonymous piece in the NY Times in 2018 from a high source inside the Trump administration who revealed publicly what Trump's cabinet members were saying privately - that the President was unstable and unfit for office. While serving in top roles in the Department of Homeland security, Taylor had witnessed shocking acts of corruption that led him, with the support of other high ranking Republicans within the administration, to write the essay and, later, a book about his observations. Now, Miles, under his own name, has published a second book which appeared on the NY Times Bestseller List. We had the opportunity to speak with this conservative patriot and ask about some of the things he saw and why he's so concerned about Trump's, or a facsimile, return to the oval office. We also pressed him on what he does and doesn't like about the new direction of the GOP and the Biden administration.It sounds like a sobering episode and much of it is but, you know the Two Guys. They are not going to allow the destruction our of democracy to get in the way of humor and, surprisingly, this serious author blended right in. Anderson Cooper and Kanye West on the Stink list. Why?

Randal Kleiser, the film and television director, producer, screenwriter and sometime actor is best known for directing the 1978 musical romantic-comedy film Grease, among some other iconic films you may remember, such as The Blue Lagoon, Summer Lovers and Big Top Pee Wee to name a few. He has a new book out which is charming titled Drawing Directors and Randal has drawn each of the illustrations live in the presence of these directors without their knowledge. He joins us in the studio to tell us what this is all about. We also discuss his films, his past, his present, his passions and what he has coming up! He's a charming man with some great Hollywood stories. And, as usual, the Two Guys are causing a ruckus and saying something wildly politically incorrect. Watch out Lizzo!

Five women had no idea they were about to form a pornography sorority — a sisterhood that would change their careers, their lives and eventually, the way much of the public viewed people who work in porn. There was the "superstar" turned mom, Jane Hamilton aka Veronica Hart. The Jewish, artsy, exhibitionist, Annie Sprinkle, who claimed to have had sex with more than 3500 men. The former Girl Scout, Candida Royalle, an aspiring actress who was exiled from ballet at age 15 because she was too curvaceous. Veronica Vera, the girl with the strict Catholic upbringing who had a great sexual curiosity. And Gloria Leonard, the "nice Jewish girl" who had been a Wallstreet stockbroker and ended up taking on Larry Flynt and Bob Guccione as the publisher of her own High Society magazine.Join us as we speak to Vera, Jane and Gloria's daughter, Robin, about this "club" and why it was formed as we take a stroll back to 70's porn!

A world EXCLUSIVE 40 minute interview with Duane Chapman, aka Dog the Bounty Hunter, and his wife Francie, (specifically talking about the accusations thrown at Dog) after the couples appearance on a Facebook Live show to promote their upcoming appearance at a church in Washington state. Alan Nevins (a past but longtime manager of Duane and Beth Chapman), and his co-host, Joey Santos, had lots of questions for the duo about their remarks, especially since the press promoted his outburst as a "homophobic rant" and a threat against failed Bud Light promoter Dylan Mulvaney. The video went viral hitting news outlets across the country. The co-hosts point out that the person who was inferred in the appearance does not identify as gay but as a transgendered woman. Both podcast hosts have their own annoyances with how the press handled the announcement. The interview gets heated on both sides, especially when talking about Christianity vs. “Hypo-Christianity” and how homosexuality is interpreted by the Christian faith and the various mis-interpretations found in the bible itself. The hosts breakdown the Facebook interview piece by piece so that the audience can understand how Duane and Francie’s remarks might have been taken out of context. The “Two Guys” insist that in a world where no one “listens and learns” everyone deserves the chance to at least be heard! Many will find this interview enlightening but certainly will be shocked by what Dog and Francie ultimately say about Dylan Mulvaney and gays. They stand by their faith and are unapologetic for how they want to live their lives and their perspective on the world around them. .

After a forced 3 week break, Alan explains what happened with some sad news. But that doesn't keep the duo from skewering or praising their latest media consumption.Then things turn for the very funny when they bring Gene Simmons into the fold, which took the Two Guys by surprise. Also known as his stage persona, The Demon, he is the bassist and co-lead singer of KISS, the hard-rock band he co-founded in the early 1970's. Well known for his intelligence and bad-boy behavior, he proves himself here - wild, funny, crass and generally over the top as he opens up about the band's farewell tour, money, marriage, a few choice words about his fallen band members, and the time he spent dating Cher and Diana Ross. As you can imagine, the Two Guys loved it!

They’re back! Two Guys From Hollywood returns for Season Two. Continuing with their unique brand of humor for this grab-bag pop culture podcast, the Hollywood based literary agent, Alan Nevins and his longtime friend, celebrity chef & columnist, Joey Santos, return in their second season premier. It's a shocking, no holds barred interview with Michael Fanone, the officer nearly beaten to death on January 6th at the U.S. Capital who then later testified on national television for the Senate Investigative Committee. The two hosts have captured a side of this conservative Republican and self proclaimed redneck that has yet been seen on any of the news networks promoting Fanone's new bestselling book, HOLD THE LINE. Often touching and passionate yet done with style, humor and respect that ultimately creates a bond between these three men which feels like you’ve dropped in on their dinner conversation. As in season one, we open with Joeys signature cocktail creation, and then the conversation quickly turns to opinionated observations by Fanone about how the most powerful people in government disrespected law enforcement and the hypocrisy of the members of Congress. No one is spared here from the 24 hour news networks to “lunatic” Marjorie Taylor Greene, “Miss” Lindsey Graham and “Trump’s Bottom Bitches”. You’ve probably not heard an interview quite like this!
