A Drunk White Woman Yelled the N-Word at Our Show Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Aries and Andy break down the viral clip of a drunk woman in Cincinnati who kept saying the N-word mid-set, and how Aries turned the chaos into part of the show. Aries also gets choked up talking about a fan who told him his comedy got her through her boyfriend’s death. Andy talks about meeting parents who have just learned their child is autistic. Plus: a guy pukes mid-show, a fan spins in a fabric-store outfit, a cook sweats straight into the food on 34th Street, a surprise Christmas pregnancy reveal, the birthday-cake face-smash trend, and a wife who refuses to live in the house her husband just bought.

Is Quentin Tarantino the Biggest Thief in Hollwyood? Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Andy made Aries sit through two '70s women-in-prison classics, Caged Heat and The Big Doll House, and Aries is NOT happy about it. Andy makes the case for why these Roger Corman grindhouse flicks matter: they launched Pam Grier, gave Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) his first directing gig, and laid the groundwork for Quentin Tarantino.That opens up the big fight: is Tarantino a genius or just the best thief in Hollywood? From the Pulp Fiction briefcase to the Django sleeve gun, Aries brings receipts and Andy compares it to hip-hop sampling. Plus Aries tells the story of shooting his shot with Pam Grier on the MADtv set, reacts to rumors of a Zendaya-led Bourne movie, roasts Tarantino's "posse" moment on the Django press tour, and gets into the From Dusk Till Dawn foot scene. It all ends with a heated debate over whether a man could really be overpowered in the Jodi Arias case.

Harland Williams | Spears and Steinberg Podcast Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

Harland Williams joins Aries Spears, Andy Steinberg and Mark Silverstein for one of the most unpredictable episodes yet. The Rocketman star talks about working with a trained chimp, getting mock-charged by a 500-pound silverback in Rwanda, and his days as a Canadian forest ranger dealing with moose and black bears.

Harland also tells the story of his Sheridan College roommate Steve Williams, who went from making "stupid circles" on VHS to creating the digital T-Rex that changed Jurassic Park. Aries and Harland go back and forth on AI, Neuralink and whether art is evolving or devolving, then the conversation turns to comedy: crowd work, memorial tattoos, "punching down," the power of sitting in silence, and why every emerging comic should get to Austin.

Plus: Harland's new animated series The Art Avengers, the comfort slug from The Harland Highway, and who makes Harland laugh.

DJ Vlad is Suing Us | Spears and Steinberg Podcast Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Aries addresses the Vlad fallout head-on this week: an apology to his fans for how he handled it, the lawsuit threat, the "Uncle Tom" jab, and why he says Vlad's claims about his openers and crowds don't hold up. Andy pushes him on accountability, and the conversation turns into a real debate about holding your own community to the same standard you hold yourself to.

Then the crew gets into the Converse ad controversy. Was it a dog whistle, a bad crop that went viral, or both? Andy tells the story of accidentally running a swastika in a college newspaper ad, and Aries asks why these "coincidences" always seem to land on Black people. Plus: a viral take on why Batman is the real villain, Colin Kaepernick comparing the NFL Combine to the slave trade, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Tim Tebow, freedom of speech versus consequences, and a full review of Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story with a fact check on what the show made up. Who should Monster do next, Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy? Let us know in the comments.

DJ Vlad Gets KICKED OUT Mid Podcast Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

Aries Spears and Andy Steinberg sit down with DJ Vlad (VladTV) to finally hash out the beef that's been brewing between him and Aries for months. What starts as a "let's clear the air" conversation turns into a full-blown confrontation — covering the money dispute that started it all, accusations of lying and narcissism, the "culture vulture" label, a Kung Fu Panda joke controversy, a studio staff incident, and a moment so tense Vlad ends up getting kicked out of the interview before it's smoothed back over. Aries lays out his side of the pay negotiation (going from $1,000 to $4,000 per appearance and asking for more, being compared unfavorably to Boosie's numbers), while Vlad defends his business practices and denies going "scorched earth" on purpose. Andy Steinberg plays mediator throughout, trying to get both sides to actually listen to each other. Watch till the end to see if these two ever actually squash it.

Tony Rock | Comedy Is Currency, Childhood Racism & Tracy Morgan Green Rooms Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Tony Rock joins Aries Spears and Andy Steinberg in studio for the very first official guest episode of Spears & Steinberg — and it does not disappoint. Tony tells the full story of getting fired by Tracy Morgan (and the wild night that led to it), shares what he learned shadowing Adam Sandler and John Witherspoon early in his career, and opens up about his brother Chris Rock's recent Asperger's diagnosis and how it shaped their family dynamic growing up. From getting bused to a mostly-white elementary school in Brooklyn to developing his "comedic muscle" through jonesing and playing the dozens, Tony traces exactly how a kid from Bed-Stuy turned pain, poverty, and survival instinct into a career. He also breaks down his viral "N-word dial" bit, weighs in on being underrated, and debates whether comedy is still "currency" in the social media era.

Aries Ranks The Greatest Sopranos Episodes of All Time Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

Aries and Andy dig into The Sopranos this week — starting with the episode Aries thinks is the most overrated in the entire series, then running through his personal top 5, closing out with a full debate on whether Tony Soprano was actually a weak man underneath all the bravado, and a breakdown of that infamous finale cut to black. Then the guys shift gears into a reaction to Christy, the new boxing biopic starring Sydney Sweeney as Christy Martin — her physical transformation for the role, Don King's involvement, the true story behind her husband's attack, and how it stacks up against Million Dollar Baby as a piece of cinema.
