Podcast appearances and mentions of Jerry Springer

Oxford-educated archaeology student turned freestyle sensation Chris Turner joins Mike Pesca to explain how his "British period" of deadpan one-liners evolved into the show-stopping rap flow that now defines his Comedy Cellar sets. Turner discusses the "evolutionary advantage" of not knowing the rules of hip hop as a ten-year-old in Manchester—a blissful ignorance that convinced him freestyling was just "making up a story"—and how he uses those same instincts to neutralize hecklers today. Along the way: a masterclass in the "tennis match" of flow state, the absurdity of 50 Cent's car-based fax machine, and a spontaneous freestyle that weaves together Jerry Springer, RFK Jr., and the "Antilles heel" of Hispaniola.

Ross Benes is the author of the book 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. Together we revisit what popular culture was like at the turn of the millennium and how things like Juggalos, professional wrestling, boy band rivalries, nü-metal, Jerry Springer, teen movies, the tech bubble, and the fear of the end of the world predicted the uncanny hyperreality we find ourselves in today.

"Weight loss isn't controversial in science, only on social media." What happens when a former smoker and self-described non-athlete turns into one of Canada's most refreshing voices in fitness and habit formation? In this episode, I talk with Oonagh Duncan about Gen X women, body neutrality, the power of pleasure, and her dream of fronting an 80s hair band at brunch. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael Dargie talks with Oonagh Duncan—fitness coach, author of Healthy as Fck*, and host of the podcast Goals, Grit and Some Woo Woo Shit. From her home on Salt Spring Island, BC, Oonagh shares how she helps Gen X women build habits that actually stick, even when nothing else has before. Once a reluctant exerciser who smoked and hid from gym class, Oonagh discovered the power of habits while walking on a salvaged treadmill, watching Jerry Springer. That single act of curiosity led her to build Fit Feels Good, an online community helping women find fitness through pleasure, not punishment. She and Michael talk about niching down, the evolution of the fitness industry, and how new weight-loss drugs like Ozempic are transforming the conversation around health. Oonagh also opens up about her beginnings as a fat activist, her pivot to inclusive wellness, and why the ectomorph-mesomorph body type theory belongs in the past. Beyond business, she talks about life on Salt Spring Island, Sunday hikes, fart reels, fake meat, and why living in a small community has taught her to be kinder. They also dive into her creative past as a playwright, the pain of a sophomore flop, and why her next big dream involves spandex, power ballads, and brunch. Her message to rebels in waiting: don't wait to have everything figured out. Move toward whatever feels warmer, follow the good feelings, and the rest will come. Quoteable Quotes "If you hate exercise, you just haven't made it small and pleasurable enough." — Oonagh Duncan "Don't be a dick." — Michael Dargie "Weight loss isn't controversial in science, only on social media." — Oonagh Duncan "You just have to move towards warmer." — Oonagh Duncan "Living on an island makes me a better person—reluctantly." — Oonagh Duncan Episode Highlights Finding Her Niche | Why Oonagh focuses on Gen X women and habits that feel good. Fitness for Everyone (Almost) | The lessons from bootcamps and niching down. The Weight Loss Shift | How GLP-1 drugs are reshaping the wellness industry. Habit Loops | The treadmill, Jerry Springer, and discovering pleasure in movement. Body Neutrality | From fat activism to inclusive health conversations. Small and Pleasurable | The secret to habits that stick. Island Life | How community keeps her accountable and kind. Fake Meat & Fart Reels | Her unapologetic guilty pleasures. Sophomore Flop | The tough lesson from her second play, Talk 60 to Me. Brunch Rock | Her dream of fronting an 80s hair band… before noon. Rebel Advice | "Move toward the warmer."

Florida, 2000: ‘Secret Mistress Confronted' had been the name of the The Jerry Springer episode Ralf Panitz, his new wife Eleanor and ex wife Nancy Campbell-Panitz had been on. The whole episode was a car crash, full of lies, humiliation and manipulation.But the aftermath would be deadly. Behind the cameras of this love triangle, was a history riddled in domestic violence, abuse and threats to kill. And when the episode aired, one of them would follow through on that threat.Resources:Domestic Shelters https://www.domesticshelters.org/https://linktr.ee/eleanornealeresourcesWatch OUTLORE Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@EleanorNealeFollow Me Here for Updates & Short Form Content:InstagramTikTok

Today we're joined by Anthony Crislip of Akron, Ohio's THE NIGHTLIGHT cinema for the vanity projects of the two most controversial broadcasters of the 90's. Both Howard Stern and Jerry Springer helped reinvent their respective mediums, whether for better or worse, but they only ventured onto the big screen once (and within one year of each other). We see if these *very* 90's star vehicles are as unwatchable—or unlistenable--as the shows their stars hosted: Betty Thomas' 1997 Howard Stern biopic PRIVATE PARTS, and Neil Abramson's 1998 Jerry Springer comedy RINGMASTER.You can find out more about The Nightlight at https://nightlightcinema.comUnwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

Send us a textA teenager sent to rehab without ever touching drugs. A yellow‑Formica childhood stitched with bullying and bravado. A school shooting buried by a bigger headline. Jessica Danel's story doesn't ask for sympathy—it demands your attention and rewards it with candor, humor, and hard‑won wisdom. We sit down with Jessica to unpack the heartbeat behind her memoir, Bucket List from a Redneck Girl, and the Just Saying podcast she launched to give other moms a place to breathe.Jessica walks us through the chapters that shaped her: Park Circle friendships and Catholic school scars, an El Camino first love on her terms, and a wedding day so chaotic she calls it “Jerry Springer.” She shares how she built a 208‑child preschool from her living room—then watched the 2008 crash squeeze the life out of a thriving business while her newborn needed open‑heart surgery. The conversation turns deeply personal as she details her daughter's ongoing medical journey, a later genetic answer—16p11.2 duplication—that reframed years of questions, and the daily realities of autism, speech delays, and sensory‑driven anxiety. We talk inclusion that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, the steep jump from elementary to high school supports, and the small, stubborn wins that keep families going.Through it all, Jessica's voice stays warm and grounded. She owns her mistakes, explains how reconciling with her mom reshaped old narratives, and offers clear advice on marriage (be friends, share goals, compromise) and advocacy (document, ask, try again tomorrow). If you've ever felt misread by the systems meant to help, this conversation will feel like a hand on your shoulder.

In this episode of Serial Streamers Jami and Jessi discuss the Netflix documentary, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action. This doc chronicles the rise and fall of the long-running, wildly popular and very controversial tabloid talk show. What began as a traditional talk show in 1991 covering current events, The Jerry Springer Show quickly became a racy and explicit tabloid talk show featuring controversial guests such as Ku Klux Klan members and mistresses wanting to air out their dirty laundry on national tv. The show often turned into something similar to what you'd see during a WWE match with guests getting into physical altercations, which only boosted the show's ratings. Jami and Jessi give their thoughts on the documentary and recall their experience watching The Jerry Springer Show back in the 90s.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONBefore she was raising millions to preserve fertility for cancer patients, Tracy Weiss was filming reenactments in her apartment for the Maury Povich Show using her grandmother's china. Her origin story includes Jerry Springer, cervical cancer, and a full-body allergic reaction to bullshit. Now, she's Executive Director of The Chick Mission, where she weaponizes sarcasm, spreadsheets, and the rage of every woman who's ever been told “you're fine” while actively bleeding out in a one-stall office bathroom.We get into all of it. The diagnosis. The misdiagnosis. The second opinion that saved her life. Why fertility preservation is still a luxury item. Why half of oncologists still don't mention it. And what it takes to turn permission to be pissed into a platform that actually pays for women's futures.This episode is blunt, hilarious, and very Jewish. There's chopped liver, Carrie Bradshaw slander, and more than one “fuck you” to the status quo. You've been warned.RELATED LINKSThe Chick MissionTracy Weiss on LinkedInFertility Preservation Interview (Dr. Aimee Podcast)Tracy's Story in Authority MagazineNBC DFW FeatureStork'd Podcast EpisodeNuDetroit ProfileChick Mission 2024 Gala RecapFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Roz finds out he's older than a classic Gordon Lightfoot song, and the team dives into the viral “6-7” meme taking over basketball games. Maurie reveals why his house smells like onions (hint: Matthew's bizarre home remedy), and Roz vents about cold pizza deliveries. Plus, we've got big interviews with Will Arnett and Blue Jays legend Buck Martinez, Mocha goes off about John Cena's huge WWE win, and we hear a wild Helluva Story from a woman who was inside a bank during a robbery. Add in drama from waiters, leather jacket debates, and Mocha bingeing Jerry Springer on Tubi—this episode is packed!

Maybe Emily and Ky's baggage is the friends they made along the way. Not just the people I'll-advisedly assigning them jobs at the beach, but arrange men buying shots as bathroom passes, too. That sounds nice, but let's be real: their baggage is their truly stunning inability to stay on topic for more than five seconds at a time to the extent that sober Emily had to pop in post to explain how the show actually works. Beach days are behind us, but at least you can watch Jerry Springer explain the most normal facts about women as deal breakers without a hint of irony!

Offense vs Michigan State Starts at 1:05 They watch games in Craig's garage but to be clear it's a very nice garage. This game means different things based on if you're from Michigan or not. This game is like "Jerry Springer: the Rivalry". Michigan went back to the 2023 "we can just run the ball and get away with a win" gameplan. 'Road Bryce' seems to be a real thing. Every time they show Jonathan Smith he looks like he doesn't want to be there. Should there be an ingrained hatred of Michigan if you're going to be the head coach at Michigan State? Bryce doesn't have a good game but both backs go for over 100 yards. Bryce looked great last week, what happened? Or is this just the case of a true freshman in a road environment again? Sprague and Guarnera had great games, El-Hadi maybe not so much? The pieces for the 2026 offensive line may already be in place. Let's talk about Semaj... We're mostly out on Semaj, do you bench him now for his own good? Jordan Marshall: runs through guys and runs through guys. The Crippen high snap was unfortunate. Can anyone play fullback better than Max Bredeson?  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Michigan State Starts at 59:04 We've been down on Wink but this was a good game for the defense. You can't take much on this based on the performance of the opposition. Chiles was awful in a vacuum, Michigan was not forcing his problems. Hillman had a really good game, he's been given a lot of criticism but this was a chaotically good game. Jimmy Rolder was a little bit of everywhere, he's a playmaker now. Derrick Moore is pretty good, he should start! Everything around the defensive tackle position is fine but we're used to a defense designed around great defensive tackles. Defensive backs should have as equal right to the ball as wide receivers.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:26:57 Takes hotter than the bacteria and/or virus that really got up in Brian's business this week. Glue the hat and pants on, Michigan State's not getting the trophy back. Some of us don't think that guy was off-sides... or was he? The hold on Crippen is not even remotely a hold. If that's a hold then we need to talk about Jaishawn Barham. Why are we accepting a fair catch on the 20?? We are out on J.B. Brown as special teams coordinator. Hollenbeck had a nice game at least. Semaj gets run over by Goodwin?! Should they have taken a shot in the endzone before the end of the half?   4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:51:10 Rutgers 27, Purdue 24 The Purdue QB catches his own pass and spectacularly hands the game over to Rutgers in dramatic fashion. Rutgers gets yards, not points. Purdue wins a game they probably shouldn't have. This game kind of saved Rutgers' season, they could potentially compete with Penn State for bowl eligibility.  Nebraska 28, Northwestern 21 Northwestern outgains Nebraska and Dylan Raiola was un-inspiring. That said, Raiola was still the better QB. Northwestern always seems to find the worst QB in the portal. Nebraska seems to think they can solve their offensive line problems with the portal but they can't.  Indiana 56, UCLA 6 There was a pick-six a minute into the game and that's all she wrote. Last year Indiana was a fun story, this year THEY'RE SCARY.  Washington 42, Illinois 25 Road Washington is a thing. The worst roughing the passer call we've ever seen is in this game. Could Oregon be a play-in for a playoff spot for Washington??  Oregon 21, Wisconsin 7 Wisconsin doesn't get shut out three games in a row! All things considered, the Wisconsin defense is playing their hearts out.  Iowa 41, Minnesota 3 Iowa had 274 total yards. How do you get 41 points on 274 total yards? It's Iowa. We need a Floyd of Rosedale pose on touchdowns in this game. Playoff Iowa??? No, that's silly.  MUSIC: "Chokkan Way"—Haku "My Girlfriend Doesn't Worry"—Jeffrey Lewis "Nausea"—Jeff Rosenstock “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

The descent into Cosmic Horror-Tastic Month continues! This week, The Filmlosophers—Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy—are setting coordinates for Hell as they tackle the terrifying 1997 sci-fi cosmic horror classic, Event Horizon. The crew will dive deep into this film's unique blend of futuristic terror and pure, Lovecraftian dread. They'll dissect its shocking visuals, the incredible set design, and the palpable atmosphere of dread as the Lewis and Clark crew investigates the ship that's been... somewhere else. They'll debate whether the film's brutal reputation is fully deserved and discuss its lasting impact on the sci-fi horror genre. But before they even reach the terrifying gravity drive, the hosts get hilariously derailed! Amy lets slip a ridiculous off-air mistake: she somehow confused Jerry Seinfeld with Jerry Springer. Get ready for absolute mayhem as the entire crew loses it over this bizarre celebrity mix-up and ponders why that logic even made sense to her! Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that balances serious, unsettling horror with a truly unglued moment of comedy! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "ship-tastic" episode of The Filmlosophers!

In this episode, we take a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of daytime TV, from Oprah's iconic interviews to Jerry Springer's flying chairs. We explore how these shows shaped pop culture, family dynamics, and our after-school routines.

Guest Ken LaCorte unpacks the history of news production, behind the scenes of how it's made, information vs entertainment & how human psychology ironically drives the train we're all so desperate to get off. Ken LaCorte left main stream media in 2016 after nearly 20 years of serving in senior management at Fox News.

Was 1999 the inflection point in American culture and politics? Writer Ross Benes joins me this week to talk about his book 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. Ross's work connects the trashy Americana of Jerry Springer, pro wrestling, Insane Clown Posse, and a million other bits of carnival weirdness to the larger political economy of the late 90s, and in this conversation he offers his takes on why so-called “low culture” really matters.

"If you don't have anything to offer somebody, especially in showbiz, they don't want anything to do with you."   "Any day on set is a good day."   "I learned like patience, like a lot of patience."   "Life is short. Do what you love."   "Without them, I don't know where it would be. It probably be still sitting on a shelf."   In this captivating episode of Better Call Daddy, hosts Reena Friedman Watts and Wayne Friedman sit down with David Seth Cohen, the creative mind behind the documentary "Finding Sandler."

The conversation delves into the creative process, including the significance of fair use in documentary filmmaking and the collaborative efforts that brought the film to life. David also shares anecdotes about his interactions with celebrities and the unexpected moments that shaped his experience. Listeners will appreciate the insights on balancing personal life with professional aspirations, as David discusses becoming a father later in life and how it has transformed his perspective.

On this episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast, host Cody Cook sits down with author and journalist Ross Benes to discuss his latest book, 1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times. The conversation dives deep into how the most sensational and “trashy” pop culture of the late 90s—think Jerry Springer, pro wrestling, Insane Clown Posse, Pokémon, and Beanie Babies—not only shaped our current media landscape, but also influenced today's political and cultural divides.Ross explores the ascent of “low culture,” tracing how it blurred the boundaries between entertainment and politics—culminating in a world where reality TV tactics rule the public sphere. They talk about the rise of populism, the persistence of elitism, and why figures like Trump are both symptoms and products of this cultural shift. Cody and Ross also debate whether democracy is better off now that the “facade of respectability” is gone, or if we've lost something essential along the way.Ross Benes' work can be found at rossbenes.com, and his book 1999 is available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible formats.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Leon Neyfakh joins the show to discuss Final Thoughts, his new podcast chronicling Jerry Springer's transformation from charismatic progressive politician to ringmaster of daytime TV chaos. They explore how Springer's earnest civic ambitions unraveled into tabloid infamy—and why he never fully distanced himself from the circus he hosted. Mike also reflects on America's confusing birthday—whether 1776, 1787, or the neglected Articles of Confederation truly mark the founding—and why the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth never made it to its own sestercentennial. It's a conversation about spectacle, civic identity, and the uneasy line between public service and entertainment.

It's a wild one. • The Dolphins and Steelers are out here trading like it's a fantasy league. • Darren Waller might be back… or maybe not? • EA Sports is bringing back a college basketball game, and 2K is firing shots. Are we getting a new video game war? • Marcus Freeman to the Steelers?! What would it take for Mike to be okay with that? • The Bucks waived Dame Lillard(?!), and Malik Beasley is under investigation. • March Madness might expand again, NHL's got a new CBA, and Chris Robinson's junk led to an endorsement deal. Also: Moon Mammoths, robot soccer, Coach O at weddings, and the greatest Sip, Chug, Drainpour of all time (Maury, Springer, Dr. Phil).

There's a point where creating starts to feel like shouting into the void. You know you've got something meaningful to say, but the constant noise—online, in your head, from everyone else—makes it hard to hear your own voice. That frustration builds, especially when it feels like empty content gets more attention than thoughtful work. But deep down, the pull to create something real doesn't go away—it just waits for the right crack to break through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5k1OR0jRis Reena Friedman Watts is a media pro and podcast host with deep roots in TV, including work on Jerry Springer and Court TV.

In today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, we kick things off with Grammy-winning R&B duo Brandy and Monica, who reveal their 1998 hit “The Boy Is Mine” was inspired by a dramatic episode of The Jerry Springer Show.

Then, Michelle Obama speaks out to quell divorce speculation, attributing their privacy to their age “we’re 60, y’all” and emphasizing that if any serious marital issue existed, she’d address it publicly.

From Leon Neyfakh and Prologue Projects — the award-winning team behind "Think Twice: Michael Jackson," "Slow Burn," "Fiasco," and "Backfired" — comes a new Audible Original, "Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer." You may think you know Jerry Springer—the iconic TV host who presided over America's most controversial daytime talk show for 27 years. In that time, Springer's name became synonymous with outrageous guests, taboo confessions, and vicious on-stage fights. But before "The Jerry Springer Show" made him infamous all over the world, Springer was something else entirely: a respected Midwestern politician whom many saw as a future leader in the Democratic Party. So how did this serious-minded idealist with lofty political aspirations take such a turn in such a radically different direction? "Final Thoughts" examines timeless questions about ambition, compromise, and whether we can ever truly separate who we are from what we do for a living.

Comedian, freestyler, and archaeology grad Chris Turner joins the show to explain how a middle-class British kid  became one of the most dazzling improv lyricists in comedy. From his early days writing one-liners to mesmerizing crowds at the Comedy Cellar with rhymes about chlamydia, Hispaniola, and Jerry Springer, Turner charts a path that makes no sense—until you see it live. He talks about bombing in polite accents, fax machines causing drive-by shootings, and why freestyling is more like tennis than chess. Plus: ear-wiggling, axolotl envy, and the double-edged sword of being good at something nobody believes you can do.

Jerry Springer and his titular TV show became synonymous with trash entertainment, serving up daily episodes of sensational confrontations and bad behavior. But the host began his public life as a progressive local politician whose career was nearly derailed by a sex scandal. After a stint as a Cincinnati anchorman, Springer became one among a crowded field of new daytime talk shows. His program rose to the top, with its uniquely crude style of on-camera confrontations. Though it made him famous, Springer seemed indifferent to the show that bore his name…wishing to distance himself from its outlandish legacy and achieve something more positive.    In the Audible Original and Prologue Projects podcast series “Final Thoughts: Jerry Springer,” host Leon Neyfakh recounts Springer's unlikely journey from immigrant to politician to ring master in television's trashiest show. It takes a nuanced look at the man and whether his program created - or merely reflected - a corroding culture of misbehavior, spectacle, and cruelty.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "FINAL THOUGHTS: JERRY SPRINGER" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 14 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
