From host Matt D’Elia comes ‘The Private Record’, where ordinary people come to tell their most extraordinary stories.
The Private Record — Episode 39 — When You Save Your Child From A Most Unlikely Abuser THIS IS THE FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON ONE OF 'THE PRIVATE RECORD'. (More on that below!) But boy oh boy, do we go out with a bang! We don't want to give too much away though, so we're just gonna use these three words to describe this episode: Munchausen by Proxy. Beyond that, we have a couple VERY IMPORTANT announcements / notes for you— First— Youtube won't let us show you this interview as is. It's too... well, it's too a lot of things! So the only way to actually get it on here was to heavily edit it. Obviously, this censored version isn't nearly as powerful as the uncut version. So to watch the FULL and UNCENSORED version of the episode, go to patreon.com/mattdelia — and sign up FOR FREE. You'll not only be able to watch the interview exactly as it was conducted, without any cuts, but there are some pleasant surprises (unrelated to this episode) for you over there as well. So go do that now! Second— as stated above, THIS IS THE FINAL EPISODE OF SEASON ONE OF 'THE PRIVATE RECORD'. But do not despair! Because while THIS show is on hiatus, Matt and his team are ramping up and getting ready to launch the NEW and (some say) IMPROVED version of Matt's original podcast, 'Matt D'Elia is Confused'. To make sure you have access to every episode of THAT show (AND this show), make sure you're signed up FOR FREE at patreon.com/mattdelia. (Did we mention it's FREE?!?! What are you waiting for!

The Private Record — Episode 38 — When Your Dad is a Victim of Domestic Abuse When this submission came our way, we honestly had NO idea what to expect. But when we followed up with the woman who submitted the story (who has chosen to remain anonymous), we knew we had to have her on. Not just because it's an important story to get out into the world. But also, frankly, because it's... well... STRANGE. The idea that this man, our guest's father, could be a sweet and loving and devoted father for our guest's ENTIRE life... and then just... completely change in almost every way... WITHOUT EXPLANATION... it's just totally crazy and wild AND... we think you will agree! NOTE: This is the SECOND TO LAST episode of SEASON ONE of The Private Record. If you think Matt is going anywhere, though, you are sorely mistaken... during TPR's downtime, he's got big things coming!

The Private Record — Episode 37 — When You Witness a Man Burn Alive This one is short and sweet... actually... hmm... not exactly 'sweet', per se. More like the opposite of 'sweet', in fact! Because, as the title suggests, this episode features a story about a boy named Philip (now an adult— but at the time he was only 12 years old) who randomly and entirely unexpectedly happened to witness a grown man BURN HIMSELF TO DEATH... ON PURPOSE. We're going to leave it at that, but for full context (and to satisfy anyone who finds themselves morbidly curious) here are some links to news stories detailing the tragic and horrifying scene Philip unwittingly stumbled upon... Brief summary of events, from The Keene Sentinel (local news source): https://www.sentinelsource.com/news/local/man-who-set-himself-on-fire-had-a-history-with-courts/article_a2d27492-9840-11e0-9fe9-001cc4c03286.html The man's (rather lengthy) suicide note (or, in his words, his 'last statement'), also from The Keene Sentinel: https://www.sentinelsource.com/news/local/last-statement-sent-to-sentinel-from-self-immolation-victim/article_cd181c8e-983b-11e0-a559-001cc4c03286.html WARNING FROM MATT: the man's 'last statement' is not only very long but it is also incrediblyyyyyy upsetting. NOT saying 'don't click'— AM saying 'consider your mental state before you do so' ! You're welcome. Welcome to 'The Private Record', where ordinary people tell their most extraordinary stories.

The Private Record — Episode 036 — When Your Boyfriend Snaps and Tries to Kill You This episode's guest, Kayla, has a wild and harrowing tale for us. In short, she was almost killed by her then-boyfriend. And she absolutely WOULD have been killed, if not for a number of totally unlikely and random coincidences that are, quite frankly, enough to make even the most hardened atheist reconsider whether or not there is a god. As nightmarish as Kayla's story is, experiences like hers are all too common. If you or anyone you love are in a situation like Kayla's, please call The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

The Private Record — Episode 35 — When Your Roommate Fakes Having Cancer Many people have ‘crazy roommate' stories. But Hayley's truly boggles the mind. The short version of the story is— Hayley's college dorm-mate ‘Becky' made everyone at school (from Hayley to her classmates to her teachers) think she had cancer, when she in fact did not have cancer. But the LONG version of the story, which Hayley tells to Matt in full detail, is absolutely and utterly batsh*t insane.

The Private Record — Episode 34 — When a Child Beats You Up Title kinda says it all this time, no? Bu here are some specifics for you: our guest Danielle is a teacher. A couple years ago, one particular student in her classroom was a bit of a... well... PROBLEM. And one day, that student took it upon herself to beat up another student. Danielle, being a good teacher (and a good person in general) wasn't having that. So instead of letting the student take a beating, Danielle put herself between the two students, physical punishment be damned! This one is just plain old crazy. And an all-time favorite of Matt's. Here's hoping you enjoy it as much as he does! Welcome to 'The Private Record', where ordinary people tell their most extraordinary stories. New episodes every Wednesday!

The Private Record — Episode 033 — When Your Friend Steals Your Wife's Nudes After last week's VERY heavy episode, we decided to do a 180 this week and bring you a story that is very... well... NOT heavy. Adrian and his wife's best friend's husband had become pretty good friends, thanks to the closeness of their spouses. But when his purported 'friend' offers to 'fix' his wife's phone and takes a liiiiiittle too long doing so, Adrian gets slightly suspicious. And it doesn't take him very long to find out his suspicion is warranted— EXTREMELY warranted, in fact. Because it turns out his wife's best friend's husband wasn't JUST fixing his wife's phone... he was also stealing VERY explicit, VERY graphic, and VERY private nude photos and videos from said phone. One would THINK the story ends there. Buuuuuuut it's actually just getting started. You will not believe where it ends up!

The Private Record — Episode 032 — When You Give Birth And The Unthinkable Happens Hey guys. Listen up. There's no way around this, so we might as well come out and say it upfront— this one is brutal, and at times just plain hard to listen to. That being said— we not only believe our guest Dylan's tragic tale is an IMPORTANT story to share, it also ultimately has a happy ending! And if you watch through Matt's intro to the episode, you'll come to know what that happy ending is, before you even get to Dylan's heart-wrenching, gut-punch of a story. Also, instead of writing out a little synopsis of the story you're about to hear in this episode (like we usually do every week) we'd rather let Dylan tell her story, fully and exclusively in her own words. If you are moved by her story, please let her know in the comments! After everything she's been through, AND for working up the courage to come share her story with Matt (as well as the whole world), we think she deserves some love and appreciation!

The Private Record — Episode 31 — When You Unexpectedly Run Into Your Birth Mother (Who You've Never Met) Time for a little change of pace! No cults this time, no murders, no medical horror stories... just a really cool and kind and sweet young woman with a very crazy story about the day she randomly ran into the one person she'd spent more time thinking about than any other person in all her life... the woman who gave birth to her. Amy-Leigh loves her adoptive parents. They ARE her parents. And always will be. But that doesn't mean she didn't always wonder what her 'real' mom was like. In fact, she wondered about her A LOT. And one day... in the most unexpected of places... she just... SAW her. If this one doesn't put a smile on your face or pull at your heartstrings... honestly, you might be a sociopath!

The Private Record — Episode 30 — When You Escape a Cult (Part Two!) Several weeks ago we dropped what is by now (by far) our most beloved episode (EP06), featuring Ben, a brave young man who escaped a strange and little-known Christian 'cult' (his words, not ours!) that goes by the name of 'Gospel Outreach'. Needless to say, the episode dropped on Gospel Outreach like a bomb, instantly turning Ben into their Public Enemy Number One. Since then, the leaders of GO have tried to silence him, defame him, harm his business, and outright intimidate him. But Ben ain't stoppin! In fact, he's SO not-stoppin' that he agreed to come back on the show and do it all over again... this time, with an even bigger chip on his shoulder, and even more brain-popping details about Gospel Outreach. If his first episode was explosive, this one is downright nuclear. Ben names names and pulls no punches. We highly recommend checking out Episode Six before hitting play on this one, as Ben and Matt pick up where they left off in that conversation.

The Private Record — Episode 029 — When You Are Not Your Girlfriend's Only Boyfriend Our guest Mark has a crazy but unfortunately all-too-common type of story for us this week... Some time ago, Mark had the unique displeasure of discovering that his longtime girlfriend was not only cheating on him, but was simultaneously carrying on a whole OTHER longterm relationship with another man, totally unbeknownst to Mark. Lucky for us, as sad and upsetting as these stories tend to be (Mark's is both!), this one also happens to be HILARIOUS. This episode is dedicated to everyone who's ever been cheated on. AND... for anyone who is either CURRENTLY cheating on their longtime partner, or even just PLANNING to cheat on their longtime partner, here is some free advice: however good you think you are at keeping your indiscretions secret... we promise, you are NOT THAT GOOD AT IT. One day, you WILL get caught. Just like Mark's ex eventually got caught. Just like everyone eventually gets caught. So stop it! Stop it right now!

The Private Record — Episode 028 — When Your Mom Dates a Serial Killer Our guest this episode, who understandably chose to remain anonymous, experienced the unimaginable at age 12, when his mom (unbeknownst to her) began dating a serial killer. You'd think that alone would be bad enough, but where things end up is truly a billion times worse. Without getting into the tragic details, let's just put it this way: things don't end well. The story of how all of this unfolds is utterly fascinating, and this is the very first time our guest has told it. Highlyyyyyy recommended viewing right here. But fair warning— this one is NOT for the faint of heart. If you're squeamish or highly sensitive, please proceed with caution.

Are you familiar with 'Butlers in the Buff'? If not, that's okay— neither was Matt. In short, they're basically male strippers for hire, for private events, who act like butlers. Naked butlers— at your service! It's actually a good-paying gig, if you look the part and can put up with...uh...ya know...being naked and pretending to be someone's butler. And most gigs are pretty simple and straightforward, despite the job's basic requirements. But what happens when one of these gigs goes wrong? Well that's what John is here to tell us about. We don't wanna give too much away and spoil the story for you, but the headline John gives Matt before telling it is this: 'strippers, cops, and cocaine'. Sooooo yeah.

Kelsey's first pregnancy was going about as well as it possibly could. No major concerns or issues along the way… until it came time to actually deliver the baby. When Kelsey's baby daughter began having difficulty entering the world the ‘normal' way, her doctors decided a c-section was necessary. But these happen all the time, so it was no big deal— until they began operating, and Kelsey realized the anesthesia wasn't working… AT ALL. Unlike most surgeries, during child birth you can't just stop everything and try to figure out what's wrong. There's a baby coming, and that baby ain't waitin'… not even for the drugs to start working on mom! This is, in Kelsey's own words, ‘the birthing story from hell'. ENJOY!!!

The Private Record — Episode 025 — When You Bleed To Death Episode 025 is here and… just... wow. JUST... WOWOWOWOWOWOW! OK here's the deal: When Jaron was a young dude, he and his young dude housemates were always pranking each other, as young dudes tend to do. Unfortunately, one of these pranks went bad — way bad, like as bad as a prank can go — and resulted in Jaron not just coming very close to dying but also FULLY ACCEPTING HIS DEATH while he was at it. Now, obviously, Jaron didn't die. He is the one telling the story, after all. But what Jaron has to SAY about fully accepting his death is quite possibly the wildest, AND the most interesting, AND the most intense thing anyone has told Matt in all of the first 25 episodes of this show.

The Private Record — Episode 023 — 'When 20 Cops Pull Their Guns On You For Stealing Your Own Car' When Ryan was young and dumb, he and his young and dumb guy friends were out on the town looking for the things young dumb guys out on the town are always looking for— girls and a good time. Unfortunately, before things even got going, Ryan's car got towed. But when Ryan and his young and dumb crew got to the tow yard, no one was there. Just a bunch of cars. All they could do was wait. Until one of Ryan's young and dumb pals (the designated driver for the night, no less!) decided to bust Ryan's car out of vehicle prison. Off they went, back onto the town looking for girls and good time. The next day Ryan woke up with a hangover and big fat dose of anxiety— was he in trouble? Wasn't that... illegal? What the hell were he and his friends thinking?! He waited for the cops to come calling— but they never did. At least, not the way Ryan expected. It took a few years, but eventually those cops DID come calling... and there were about two dozen of them... and they all had their guns pointed at Ryan's head. Ryan may be a real piece of sh*t (by his own admission!) but if there's one thing he's good at, it's telling this story. You don't wanna miss this one, folks!

The Private Record — Episode 022 — 'When a Psychic Scams You Out of Thousands of Dollars' We've all heard stories about scammers who pose as psychics to swindle innocent people out of their hard-earned money by telling them things they want to hear. But what if one of those scammers REALLY WAS a psychic? And just happened to ALSO be a scammer? That's what our guest Alexis is here to tell us about... and her story is truly bingbong bonkers. Now, Matt does not exactly 'believe' in 'psychics'. But some of the details of Alexis's account of her experience with this scammer-psychic (who shall remain nameless, because of an NDA Alexis had to sign to finally get her money back!) are just TOO outrageous to wave away as part of some well-thought-out scam. But where does the scam begin? And where does the psychic-ing end? And honestly how the HELL did Alexis (AND two of her friends) end up forking over a total of MORE THAN TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS to this woman??! Gotta listen (or watch) to find out!

The Private Record — Episode 021 — "When You Are Robbed and Left For Dead" While staying with his family in Oklahoma for a brief spell, our guest Brandon was going to visit his friend in Arkansas a for a quick weekend camping trip. On the way there, he decided to make a stop in Fayetteville to get a little of that sticky icky green stuff for a little extra enjoyment. (This was in 2017– well before it was legal in most states.) When Brandon finally found someone who said she had a connection who could hook him, he was stoked. Unfortunately, her connection had other ideas— which included a concrete slab to Brandon's skull, and a steel toe boot to Brandon's face (15+ times). Robbed and left for dead, Brandon somehow survived. And THIS is when Brandon's story REALLY gets wild. Trust us when we say— if there's one episode you wanna listen to or watch all the way to the very end, this is the one!

The Private Record — Episode 020 — “When The SWAT TEAM Is In a 6-Hour Standoff With Your Dad” This week's guest Harlie was only 9 years old when a SWAT Team surrounded her house, guns drawn from every possible angle — street level, rooftop, you name it — hunting her father, who police suspected had shot up his former girlfriend's apartment in a meth-fueled rage. Believe it or not, this is just the BEGINNING of Harlie's wild tale. This one's got a shootout in broad daylight, a 6-hour SWAT Team standoff in suburban Utah, a dog drenched in tear gas, a meth-head named ‘Tigger', another meth-head escaping a crime scene in a woman's wig, and whole lotta other crazy details too— but it also has a big heart, one that sneaks up on you and eventually takes over the whole frigging episode, thanks to Harlie and the earnest, honest way she tells her family story of crime, addiction, violence, forgiveness, and an unbreakable father-daughter bond.

The Private Record — Episode 19 — "When You Try To Be Nice To Someone But End Up With a Stalker" Spencer! Poor Spencer! Was just trying to be nice to someone who was clearly in need! And ended up experiencing several months of hell at the hands of a woman who thought (unbeknownst to Spencer at the time!) that Spencer was her one true soulmate. We'd write more (and there IS a WHOOOLE LOT more!) but honestly you have to hear the details from Spencer himself for this story to have its most maximum mind-blowing effect. Make sure to sound off in the comments about what you think is the craziest part of Spencer's story! (Without giving too much away, Matt thinks it's the part about the 'bread crumbs'.)

The Private Record — Episode 018 — “When You Somehow End Up Naked And Eating Ribs in a Stranger's Hot Tub and The Stranger Has a Machete” Everyone has that one friend who is always getting into something crazy, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Today's guest, a fella named Andrew, is one of those people— and in his case, it IS intentional. He's constantly saying yes to the craziest of opportunities, so that he always has great stories with which to entertain his friends. But in this episode, Andrew tells Matt what he considers his very BEST story, which involves a Jamaican scientist who loves to cook ribs, get naked without warning, invite strangers into his sauna to EAT the ribs he cooked, and then brandish a machete. Not sure what else to say about this episode besides— strap in, this one is particularly insane! Welcome to 'The Private Record', where ordinary people tell their most extraordinary stories.

The Private Record — Episode 17 — "When Your Friend's Trauma Becomes Your Drama" Episode 17 is here and IT IS A WILD ONE! So many twists and turns in this one, it's best to keep this short and sweet, so here goes— Our guest Jason was in college in Florida at the time of this tale, when he and his brothers decided to rent a place there for a chill summer full of sunshine and partying. Only a few friends of his remained in town while school was out— one of them being the ex girlfriend of Jason's former roommate. And at a get together at Jason's place one night, this ex-girlfriend of Jason's friend showed up (AGAIN— after already having left about an hour earlier) in a very bad way... bloodied, beaten, and unable to speak— clearly severely traumatized in some way. Freaked out for his friend and just generally wanting to be a good person, Jason immediately took on a protector role of sorts, which ends up being wayyyyy more than he bargained for... To avoid giving too much away, it's best to leave it at that— but let's just say things only get crazier from there! MUCH MUCH crazier. You don't wanna miss this one!

The Private Record — Episode 016 — "When You Make Fake Money To Buy Drugs & Your Dealer Tries To Kill You For It" This story sounds and feels like a sequence from a movie BUT, the thing is, it ACTUALLY HAPPENED. And the fact that our guest Christina is even alive to tell us the tale is... well... absolutely and completely bingbong bonkers insane. When Christina was a teenager she was hooked on heroin. Like, REALLY hooked. So hooked, in fact, that at one point she needed a fix so bad that she (along with two equally heroin-hooked friends) printed fake money (on regular computer paper!!!) to buy over 200 hundred dollars worth of H from their gang-affiliated dealer. Somehow, at first, the exchange goes off without a hitch— but when Christina's friend steps back into her car to drive off with the goods, Christina quickly realizes this will NOT be the clean getaway she was hoping for. What ensues is a high speed chase along an interstate freeway, infuriated gangbangers, and gunshots whizzing by the heads of Christina and her heroin-addled friends.

The Private Record — Episode 015 — "When a Silly Prank Goes Very Very Wrong" Mason's plan to prank his college roommate was simple enough. But as we all know, even the simplest of plans don't always work out as... well... planned! And frankly, Mason's plan could not have worked out any WORSE. Right out of the gate, one unfortunate (but hilarious) development led to another, and then to another, and so on, resulting in Mason paying an absurdly (and comically) high price for his rather harmless prank attempt. This was of course all very bad news for Mason. But it was very GOOD news for Matt, and is great news for all of you, because you get to hear this prank-gone-wrong story from Mason himself— and laugh, and laugh, and laugh (both AT Mason AND with him). After some rather serious stories on the show over the last few weeks, we figured a few laughs might do you some good. And we think this is our funniest episode yet.

The Private Record — Episode 014 — "When Someone Uses You To Commit Suicide" In what is a first for The Private Record (and very possibly the last!), Matt speaks with a victim of a rare but increasingly prevalent phenomenon known as ‘pedestrian suicide'. Don't know what that is? Well neither did Matt— until this episode's guest Bekah enlightened him on the matter by telling her story. Which goes like this: around 2am, after a long night at work, Bekah was driving home along an empty Atlanta freeway when WHAM— her car slams into a blur that had suddenly flung itself right in front of her, out of absolutely nowhere. After crashing into the median Bekah somehow gained control of her vehicle, came to a stop, looked back, and— yep, that blur was a human being. And somehow, this was only the BEGINNING of Bekah's nightmare night. Speaking of nightmares— Matt's been having them ever since conducting this interview.

The Private Record — Episode 013 — "When Your Stomach Explodes" Our guest today is a charming Australian fellow named Kirby. And boy oh boy does he have a medical nightmare of a story for you! About 4 years ago, at the peak of the world's initial Covid freak-out, Kirby's stomach had a freak-out of its own… unthinkable, unbearable, impossible-to-imagine pain. Usually not one to worry, Kirby knew he had no choice but to rush to the hospital, which of course was being flooded with panicked (and dying) Covid patients. Basically, it was the absolute worst time in world history to go to the emergency room. But it's a good thing Kirby DID go to the emergency room. Thanks to an underlying condition Kirby didn't even know he had, his large intestine had quite literally exploded, causing his body to go into septic shock, putting him on the precipice of death. 5 weeks, 3 surgeries, 1 bout with Covid, 1 (temporary) colostomy bag, and 1 gnarly scar later, Kirby would be able to say he had gone through complete and utter hell— and was extremely lucky to still be among the living. This is his story! Welcome to 'The Private Record', where ordinary people tell their most extraordinary stories. New episodes every Wednesday!

It took Tess 30+ years to realize she was a lesbian. When she finally came out of the closet, she understandably felt overwhelmed and inexperienced, like she had a lot of ‘catching up to do', so to speak. And so in an effort to make like-minded friends, she joined an online community of local gay women, becoming fast friends with one of them in particular. But when Tess fell in love with another woman for the first time, this new friend revealed herself to be less of a ‘friend' and more of a ‘one-woman terrorization campaign'— the details of which make Matt shout ‘what the F#%K?!' many times during Tess's story. See if her story makes you do the same! Welcome to 'The Private Record', where ordinary people tell their most extraordinary stories. New episodes every Wednesday!
Episode 11 is here! CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP! When Matt (this episode's guest, not its host!) was in his late 20s, he was a broke meth addict who needed an easier way to score — which is exactly what he got when he got hooked up with a high-quantity dealer who needed a hand moving product in Matt's upper-class NorCal neighborhood. 'Good deal!', Matt thought... but what Matt did NOT think, or even have the slightest clue about, was that this new dealer pal worked for the infamous (and murderous) Zetas cartel— that is, until the FEDs came-a-knocking, with the threat of a MINIMUM sentence of 25 to life, unless Matt became an informant for them. So without much of a choice, Matt went to work (undercover!) for the FBI, helping put scores of dealers and middle men behind bars over the course of three chaotic, high-stress years. But between the mental strain of the undercover work, his newfound sobriety, and his growing conscience, Matt knew he would not be able to live like this forever. So Matt asked himself the ultimate question: continue living like this under the proverbial sword of Damocles, or finally face the music and spend some time behind bars? New episodes every Wednesday!
Episode 10 is here! Behold, the story of a genuine MEDICAL MIRACLE! Bode was a happy, able-bodied, athletic 14-year-old kid— until a completely random, totally freak accident left him with a nearly severed spinal cord, entirely unable to move from the neck down. His doctors warned him not to even HOPE to walk again, as literally no one in the history of medicine has recovered from such an injury. (Not one!!!) Somehow, against all possible odds, he not only began to recover— but he was suddenly recovering at an astonishingly rapid clip. Which bred hope, optimism, and determination. Which in turn sped the pace of his recovery even further. Until one day he was completely back to full health, walking and talking and LIVING as he always had, even getting back into his sport of choice (which, being that he is from the American Northeast, is of course lacrosse).
Episode Nine is here— and with it comes our very first HERO'S STORY. Jonathan was just your average shy, emo 15 year old kid— until a schoolmate brought a 9mm to the classroom, threatening to kill everyone in sight. Thinking fast and knowing he wasn't going to die a sitting duck, Jonny Boy took it upon himself to DISARM and BEAT THE HELL out of the would-be mass-murderer. All of a sudden, Jonathan was a national hero, even appearing on programs like 'Dr. Phil' to tell his story of bravery and strength. Sounds crazy, right?! Well, what's even CRAZIER is that that's just the BEGINNING of Jonathan's story, as this heroic incident — while initially bringing him notoriety and popularity — led him down a confusing path of anxiety and self-destruction. Once again, Jonathan had to find the strength to confront the beast in front of him. And once again, he BEAT THE HELL out of it!

The Private Record — Episode 008 — 'When All You Want is a Prom Date But What You Get is a Possessive Stalker' EPISODE EIGHT IS HERE! AND IT IS TOTALLY CRAZY! CRAZY EIGHT! Who else has heard their fair share of horror stories about obsessive and paranoid young men emotionally and mentally terrorizing vulnerable young women? Perhaps some of you even have similar stories of your own— OR, if you're REALLY unlucky, MAYBE you have a tale like the one told by today's (anonymous) guest, who has the unfortunate distinction of having experienced THE CRAZIEST ONE OF THESE STORIES MATT HAS EVER HEARD IN HIS LIFE. Need we say more? Didn't think so! Let us know in the comments if you agree with Matt, or if you've heard (or, gulp, PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED) something even worse! Welcome to 'The Private Record', where ordinary people tell their most extraordinary stories. New episodes every Wednesday!
Seven episodes in and we think it's high time for our very first EPIC SURVIVAL STORY. Our guest Zach is an accomplished and experienced aerial photographer for movies and tv shows. One night after a long day of work on the mega-massive-hit show ‘Yellowstone', Zach loads up his gear and begins his 3-hour drive through the serpentine Montana mountains, amid cold and icy conditions, back to his hotel for a good night of hard-earned sleep. But on a particularly dangerous and desolate stretch of road, Zach encounters a patch of black ice that has other plans for him. Next thing he knows, his truck is upside down atop a frozen body of water— at which point the ice breaks, and he starts to sink. Fast. Unfortunately for Zach, avoiding a horrible death by drowning in freezing water was only the beginning of his troubles. He did, however, live to tell the tale. And tell the tale is exactly what he does. Needless to say, Matt's mind is blown. We think yours will be too!

'The Private Record' - Episode 006 - "When You Are Born Into An Unhinged Modern-Day Cult— and Then You Escape" Well. This is a wild one! Our guest (a kind, extremely tatted-up gentleman named Ben) was born and raised into a very strange, very scary, very secretive, and VERY little-known Christian sect called Gospel Outreach. By the time Ben turned 18, he knew he had to get out— so that's exactly what he did. But it wasn't easy! In fact, it was probably the hardest part of all. And now, for the first time ever, Ben tells Matt everything — the whole story — and it is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Matt, for his part, is blown away, not just by Gospel Outreach's wicked (and plain old weird!) ways, but also by Ben's rare ability to tell his story with such clear-eyed perspective, and in incredible detail. Call us crazy but something tells us the powers that be over at Gospel Outreach won't be very happy with Ben for airing out their business like this! So let us know in the comments if you would like to see Ben in a follow-up episode, to discuss the fallout that is sure to come— as well as any other dark and dirty details he may have left out the first time around!

Today's guest (who asked to remain nameless, for reasons you will very soon understand) has a confession to make: when he was just a wee teenager, he became one of Southern California's largest suppliers of fake IDs. As his ‘business' rapidly expanded throughout the entire Golden State (and eventually beyond its borders), he became a folk hero of sorts to the thousands of kids aged 16-20 for whom he provided a ‘legal' means for a good time. But as his legend grew and even some of his most faraway customers began whispering his name, so did the risk involved in his (obviously illegal) enterprise. Here, for the first time, he tells his whole story from beginning to end, and in the process, he utterly rocks Matt's world. We think it will rock yours too!

After a traumatic end to his previous relationship, Bobby is cautiously ready to start dating again. What Bobby ISN'T ready for is the particular woman he ends up dating (and very quickly impregnating!)... and when some small and seemingly harmless lies she tells catch Bobby's attention, much bigger and bolder (and frankly unimaginable) lies slowly begin to reveal themselves.
