Show notes

The mainstream media wants you to believe that rock stars live a charmed life of glamour and easy romance. They are lying to you.

You won’t believe which rocker’s ex-girlfriend demanded he ignore his own son’s cancer diagnosis just to pay her more attention—hit play to find out how deep the depravity really goes.

Chris Akin and guest host Jon Drake are tearing the lid off the absolute chaos of the modern dating scene, and let’s just say—the truth is uglier than a Motley Crue morning-after.
