In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with local legend and breakout reality-TV personality Chase McWhorter, one of the most talked-about husbands on Hulu's hit series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Fresh off Season 3, Chase opens up about being edited as the “villain,” relives the infamous Halloween party, and breaks down the moments viewers only see in fragments on screen.From public backlash to being labeled “America's fuck-boy” while trying to show up as a dad, Chase shares the unfiltered version of his story—what he owns, what he regrets, and what people get wrong about him off-camera. Jimmy and Chase dive into accountability, consent, and how exaggerated accusations hurt real victims. They talk about infidelity, “yellow-light” behaviors that lead to cheating, and why radical honesty is the only path to rebuilding trust—in marriage, friendship, and co-parenting. Chase discusses his Mormon upbringing, stepping away from the LDS Church, and working to maintain a healthy relationship with his ex-wife Miranda, while Jimmy connects it all back to men's work, healing modalities, and becoming a man capable of real connection.If you're fascinated by Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, interested in modern relationships under scrutiny, or just want to hear two guys talk honestly about the messiness of growth—this episode delivers.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction01:25 – Chase on Season 3 and instant backlash04:10 – Being painted as the “villain”07:00 – The Halloween party chaos & what really happened10:45 – The “assault” claim & why context matters14:30 – How serious accusations hurt real victims18:20 – Marriage, separation, and accountability22:15 – “Yellow lights” that lead to cheating26:00 – Jimmy on owning your mistakes30:40 – Chase on stepping away from the LDS Church33:55 – Co-parenting with Miranda & public perception38:10 – Dakota, Taylor, and the show's most complicated relationship42:05 – Men's work, breathwork, and healing45:50 – Jimmy on relationships vs singleness50:00 – Chase on fame, labels, and being misunderstood54:20 – Why Secret Lives resonates nationally59:10 – What's next for ChaseRelated Episodes:Layla Taylor – Secret Lives of Mormon Wiveshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/559-layla-taylor-star-of-hulus-new-1-show-the/id1315033271?i=1000669280139Taylor Frankie Paul – The MomTok / Swinging Scandalhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/421-taylor-frankie-paul-the-mormon-momtok-swinging/id1315033271?i=1000613581753Follow Jimmy:Jimmy's Instagram: https://instagram.com/mrjimmyrexJimmy's Website: https://mrjimmyrex.com

Tucker Carlson is once again at the center of media and political attention following a series of high-profile interviews and public appearances over the past few days. Most notably, Carlson conducted a widely discussed interview with Nick Fuentes, a figure known for his antisemitic views, prompting immediate national controversy and raising heated debate about Carlson's platforming choices. President Donald Trump publicly defended Carlson, stating that he has said good things about him, and criticized media coverage that focused on the antisemitism issue, claiming it was a diversion from political challenges Trump faces. According to Fortune and ABC News, Trump avoided direct criticism of Carlson regarding antisemitism and instead lashed out at other political figures, including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, for their stances on unrelated matters. This reaction fueled ongoing discourse about Carlson's influence within conservative circles and his complex relationship with Trump.Carlson's recent visit to Alabama has also drawn considerable attention, with local and national outlets noting the political speculation sparked by his appearances. According to the Alabama Gazette, these public events are being interpreted by some observers as part of Carlson's campaign to build grassroots support for his expanding media ventures, as well as to inject momentum into broader cultural and political initiatives. The Heritage Foundation and other right-leaning organizations have factored heavily into coverage of these efforts, signaling Carlson's strategic positioning within networked conservative activism.Meanwhile, Carlson's media projects continue to grow in scale and reach. The Tucker Carlson Network, buoyed by fresh investment from 1789 Capital, is expanding both its personnel and content portfolio, amplifying Carlson's voice in American media and politics. Industry insiders suggest that Carlson is leveraging his notoriety and influence to attract talent and investment, with speculation that he is eyeing collaborations with other controversial media figures.The recent Carlson interview with Nick Fuentes remains a lightning rod for criticism and defense, with reactions ranging from condemnation by anti-hate advocates to applause from some fringe groups. The controversy has reignited debates about Carlson's responsibility as a prominent media host, especially regarding the amplification of extremist voices. At the same time, defenders—including Trump and some conservative strategists—argue that Carlson is exposing uncomfortable truths and challenging mainstream narratives.There have been no public reports of new legal actions or regulatory challenges facing Carlson in the past few days, though some professional observers note that his escalating provocations could invite scrutiny from advertisers, partners, and political adversaries in the future. Media watchdogs and advocacy organizations are actively monitoring his content and considering further responses to his decisions.The broader impact of Carlson's recent moves is reflected in renewed debate over his role in shaping the boundaries of American political discourse. Commentators point to his continuing ability to influence both the Republican grassroots and elite conservative circles, while opponents warn of the dangers posed by mainstreaming extremist ideas. Carlson's interactions with Trump, other pundits, and contentious guests reflect his ongoing strategy to maintain relevance and set the pace of conversation for the right.Listeners, thank you for tuning in to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

On this edition of Political Breakfast, we talk about the very public rift between President Donald Trump, and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene -- who Trump now calls Marjorie "Traitor" Greene. Greene said on CNN this week that she wants to "put down the knives in politics" and is rethinking her past divisive antics. What do Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson think about this very uncharacteristic apology, and how Greene will have to navigate the Georgia political landscape in the future? Both share their thoughts with host Lisa Rayam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's She Rises episode, we take a closer look at Alexandra Cooper, the polarising voice who shook up the podcast world, landed multi-million-dollar deals, and proved that being bold, unapologetic, and multifaceted is a strength, not a weakness. We share what makes her different, the power of having an insatiable drive, and why successful women are often the ones willing to be “too much.” Alongside her story, we open up about our own struggles,fears of not being taken seriously, feeling like we have to wear different hats, and the pressure to tone ourselves down to be accepted. From silly to serious, sexual to professional, this episode is about breaking free of those limiting beliefs and owning every side of yourself without apology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
