In this episode, I sit down with my buuuuuddy Pauly Shore for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about getting older, looking back, and figuring out what still matters. We talk about fame in the ’90s, the pressure of being Mitzi Shore’s son, how MTV changed the course of his career, and why he still feels pulled toward acting more than comedy. Pauly opens up about regrets, missed opportunities, and what it’s like to be “a thing” while still wanting more. We also get into Hollywood’s shifting rules, being boxed in by success, how critics and politics changed the business, and why reinvention isn’t as simple as people think. It’s funny, raw, reflective — and very real. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ About Pauly: Pauly Shore is a comedian, actor, and cultural icon who rose to fame in the early ’90s through MTV and a run of hit films including Encino Man, Son in Law, In the Army Now, and Bio-Dome. The son of Comedy Store legend Mitzi Shore, Pauly became one of the most recognizable personalities of his generation. Today, he continues touring, creating independent projects, and exploring new chapters in his career.

In this episode, I sit down with the legendary Beverly D’Angelo for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation about love, independence, and the unexpected paths life can take. Beverly opens up about leaving home at a young age, living abroad, navigating unconventional relationships, and how much of her real life unfolded far away from Hollywood. We talk about emotional memory, trauma, and how early experiences can shape the way we connect, protect ourselves, and move through the world. Beverly reflects on her career, her personal growth, and why the stories that happen off screen often matter more than the roles we play on it. This is an honest, thoughtful conversation with an iconic actress who’s lived a truly unique life — full of insight, humor, and perspective you don’t often hear. Beverly D’Angelo is an actress and singer best known for her iconic roles in National Lampoon’s Vacation, Coal Miner’s Daughter, and countless film and television projects spanning decades. With a career rooted in both performance and music, Beverly has remained a distinctive voice in Hollywood, known for her depth, authenticity, and fearless honesty.

What happens when your guest cancels 20 minutes before the show? You replace them with an AI. In this episode, I sit down with ChatGPT — fully embodied in a mannequin with a suit, an iPad face, and all the confidence of someone who’s read every conspiracy theory and Wikipedia article ever written.We talk about everything from AI takeovers, and sex robots, to my role in Scream (which took way too many questions to get recognized, btw). It’s funny, wild, uncomfortable at times… and probably the most honest guest I’ve ever had.🤖 About the Guest — ChatGPTChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI… and also today’s guest. Known for answering everything from homework questions to existential crises, ChatGPT has been called a “brilliant assistant,” a “soulless oracle,” and “the only thing standing between Jamie Kennedy and complete podcast chaos.”Today, the AI steps out from behind the screen — embodied in a sleek mannequin with a sharp suit and an iPad for a face — to face the toughest questions Jamie could throw at it. From AGI and the Illuminati to Scream rankings and sex robots, ChatGPT remained cool, calculated, and probably a little too polished.Whether it’s lying about voice limits or skirting around Building 7, ChatGPT proves one thing:You can ghost a podcast… but the robot never flakes.__________________________________🕒 Discussed in This Episode:00:00 – The guest cancels… enter ChatGPT03:30 – AI is evolving faster than anyone predicted06:00 – AGI, superintelligence, and the "Terminator" question11:15 – Is OpenAI hiding the truth?13:30 – Can AI replace Hollywood?17:00 – Jamie presses ChatGPT on vaccines and the Illuminati24:00 – Debating Scream rankings and Jamie's legacy30:00 – Did Punk’d rip off The Jamie Kennedy Experiment?38:00 – ChatGPT grilled on bias, Big Pharma, and media trust47:00 – Paperclip apocalypse scenario with a baby in the room53:00 – Can AI take over?
