Truth Hurts Show

He was the face of a generation. Then he disappeared.

Mayhem Miller had it all, a career in the UFC, global fame from MTV’s “Bully Beatdown,” a seat at the table with Hollywood elites, and the kind of charisma that made him unforgettable. But somewhere between the spotlight and the street fights, everything came crashing down.

In this brutally honest episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Mayhem walks us through his life from childhood brawls in Fayetteville, North Carolina, to fighting in Japan, to the peak of mixed martial arts fame, and the dark spiral that followed. He opens up about addiction, arrests, lost opportunities, and the haunting silence that follows fame when the cameras stop rolling.

But this isn’t just a fall-from-grace story. It’s about what it means to rebuild when the world has written you off. Mayhem talks about the new fighters he's coaching, the discipline martial arts gave him, and how he's using his pain to guide the next generation.

In this explosive episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Dory Benami announces his run for Congress in California’s 32nd District and explains why he’s taking on a 30-year incumbent in one of the most politically entrenched states in America.

From the mass exodus of wealth leaving California to the rise of the homeless industrial complex, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening inside the Golden State. Dory breaks down why 90% vote-by-mail changes the political game, how party insiders protect career politicians, and why challenging the establishment won’t be a fair fight.

Born in Israel, raised in the San Fernando Valley, and formerly working in Hollywood and Democratic campaigns, Dory explains why October 7th became a turning point — and why he believes the Democratic Party is dangerously drifting away from its core values.

Former Democratic political strategist Jay Carson joins the show to share what 15 years inside Washington taught him about power, corruption, media narratives, and political courage. Having worked with President Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and other national leaders, Jay offers an insider perspective on how corporate influence, party loyalty, and fear of backlash shape decision-making behind the scenes. He reflects on key turning points in his career, including the Iraq War vote, media bias during the 2008 election, and his personal shift in thinking during COVID.

This episode dives into how the “revolving door” between government and corporations operates, why courage is rare in politics, how media narratives get formed, and why most Americans are less divided than social media makes it seem. The conversation also explores Trump’s relationship with the press, ideological identity, and the cultural heaviness felt in major cities today.

Key Topics
• Inside 15 years of Democratic politics
• The Iraq War vote and political fear
• Corporate influence and the Washington revolving door
• Media bias and narrative control
• COVID, censorship, and ideological shifts
• Party polarization and the illusion of division
• Trump and modern media strategy

In this episode of the Truth Hurts Podcast, Megan Bentley, known as The Color Countess, breaks down how color functions as a strategic tool rather than a fashion trend. She explains how wearing the wrong colors can subconsciously create mistrust, age the face, and weaken authority, while the right colors instantly sharpen features, project power, and increase attraction in business, dating, and leadership. Megan walks through the modern 16-season color analysis system, demonstrates live color draping, and exposes how the fashion industry pushes trends like black that actively work against most people. The episode reframes color as one of the fastest, cheapest, and most overlooked ways to improve presence, confidence, and first impressions.

In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why the brain looks for harmony first and how color affects trust
• The difference between undertone and overtone and why undertone matters more
• Why the traditional four season color system no longer works
• How the modern 16 season system creates precision and stronger results
• Why black is not universally flattering and how fashion trends mislead consumers
• How correct colors can visually lift the face and act as a low cost facelift
• Executive and power colors for leadership, interviews, and authority
• Using color strategically for dating, Zoom calls, and first impressions
• Why color analysis is exploding on social media and not going away

Former SWAT commander Josh Schirard reveals shocking statistics about rideshare assaults and explains why most people are completely unprepared for violence. After 20+ years in law enforcement, he breaks down threat assessment tactics cops use, the "run hide fight" protocol for active shooters, and why locked doors save lives.

Josh shares his journey from patrol officer to SWAT commander and operations bureau leader, teaching active shooter response to both law enforcement and civilians. He explains why he left policing to become a pilot, only to return with a mission to help everyday people protect themselves with less-lethal defense tools.

In this episode, you'll learn:
The "spidey senses" techniques cops develop working bar security that civilians can use

How to read faces, hands, and behavior to spot threats before violence erupts

Why most violent encounters happen within 3-7 feet with almost no warning

The truth about active shooter response and what actually stops attackers

Why 1 in 8 women using rideshares face sexual assault and what to do about it

The less-lethal alternative to firearms that Josh now trains schools and law enforcement to use

Why being prepared isn't about being paranoid—it's about living freely without fear

Whether you're a parent worried about your kids' safety, someone who uses rideshares, or just want to develop better situational awareness, this conversation could save your life.
