There are some celebrities that seem to stay in front of viewers and listeners for decades. For many, you understand why that person remains relevant, and others, we’re often left saying, “how did they get this gig again”. Enter the subject of this episode, Nick Cannon. Nick hit the music scene long ago but branched out quickly to expand his brand. Between marrying Mariah Carey and fathering enough children to field the entire offense of a football team (plus a coach), he stayed in the headlines for years. Then, the hosting started…. While many appreciate his work, he does have his detractors. Where did Nick get his start? How tough are the mean streets of San Diego? How in the world are you picking your children’s names? We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Rockstars seem to find ways to hit headlines in some of the wildest ways. The bands of the 80’s seemed to really take things to the next level, and one of the bands leading the way was Van Halen and their frontman, Eddie Van Halen. Eddie’s incredible talent on the guitar made him a legend to anyone who was reading Guitar World in the 90’s, but as you could imagine there were wild times to go along. Was the debauchery described in their tours as real as they say? Was Eddie nightclub guy or more of a recluse? Are we really sure that Eddie understood how reproduction worked? We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.
