Chelsea Handler is not afraid to say exactly how she feels about Joe Rogan being named as one of the highest-earning podcasters. 

The comedian voiced strong criticism regarding Joe Rogan’s substantial earnings from his hit podcast, arguing that such massive wealth would be better directed toward a better cause. 

Meanwhile, Rogan was recently at the receiving end of backlash after being accused of sucking up to Donald Trump despite speaking out against the MAGA movement.

Handler expressed open disbelief after Forbes released its evaluation of the highest-paid podcast hosts for 2026. The outlet placed Rogan in the top position with an estimated annual revenue of $82 million. 

Reacting directly to the media outlet’s announcement on social media, Handler questioned the justification for such a massive payout. 

“WHO IS PAYING JOE ROGAN 82 million?” she wrote. “Give that to our vets, or our children!!! 82 million to be completely uninformed and say ‘whoopsie doodle,’ every time he’s wrong, which is FREQUENT?”

Rogan, who launched “The Joe Rogan Experience” back in 2009, continues to dominate stream counts across major distribution networks. In 2024, he finalized a multi-year deal with Spotify valued at up to $250 million, per Entertainment Weekly. 

His financial success places him ahead of several other prominent podcast creators featured on the list, such as Ashley Flowers of “Crime Junkie” with $42 million, the comedy trio behind “Smartless” earning $37 million, and self-help host Mel Robbins at $35 million. 

Joe Rogan Criticized The MAGA Movement And Its Supporters

In addition to facing criticism over his income, Rogan has also sparked debate with a noticeable shift in his political commentary. Despite endorsing Trump during his 2024 presidential run, the broadcaster’s recent remarks demonstrate growing skepticism toward the political movement he previously backed. 

The Blast reported that during a broadcast, the UFC announcer openly criticized the political faction and its main slogan, questioning the premise of the “Make America Great Again” catchphrase. 

“That phrase sucks. America is great. Make America greater? I’m down,” Rogan stated during the episode. He argued that the political brand has transformed into a gathering space for “a bunch of dorks,” describing many associated individuals as “really weird, f-cking uninteresting, unintelligent people”.

Joe Rogan Was Slammed For His Shift In Stance

Following his sharp critique of the political movement, public commentary online swiftly erupted in response to his remarks.

Users across social platforms immediately dissected the host’s changing political stance. Opinions split sharply between former supporters feeling betrayed and critics pushing him to go even further in his repudiation.

Many commenters accused him of out-of-touch hypocrisy, pointing to a contradiction between his harsh words and the controversial figures he routinely invites onto his broadcast. 

Other listeners labeled him an “elitist” and “the ultimate uninteresting dork.” One user noted on X, “When did Joe become an elitist? You only matter to Joe if you’re an amazing, accomplished, intelligent person.”

Joe Rogan Garnered Mixed Reactions To His Viral Trump Handshake Video

Despite taking a harsher stance on the political movement, the popular podcaster still faced intense public backlash after a cordial interaction with the former president went viral. 

According to The Blast, video footage of the host greeting Trump with a warm handshake sparked widespread skepticism regarding the sincerity of his political critiques. 

Following the release of the greeting clip, social media users expressed doubt about the broadcaster’s consistency, with critics accusing him of appeasing the political leader despite his earlier callouts over policy decisions. 

Many commenters expressed skepticism about his changing views, with one individual posting, “He is a very large part of the blame in how we got here, so this makes sense based on that. I don’t believe his recent change.” 

The Podcaster Also Received Public Backlash For His Oval Office Appearance

Adding to the relentless heat Rogan received for his political stance, he also came under fire for joining Trump at the White House. Standing beside the chief executive in the Oval Office, the broadcaster was present as a new directive was signed to speed up approval for alternative mental health treatments. 

Ironically, the host’s involvement sparked immediate outrage from observers who accused him of abandoning his previous principles. Online commentators aggressively condemned the host for standing with the administration so soon after insulting its supporters, per The Blast.

Critics quickly highlighted the glaring contradiction, with some calling him a “phony” who remains loyal to the political leader regardless of his public complaints.

“Say what you want about Rogan, but you gotta admit it’s pretty impressive to be a spineless little b-tch who stands for nothing,” another critic commented. 

Despicable rich people doing despicable things is not a concept we haven’t seen before. Netflix’s new release, Master of the House, certainly plays into this concept in a grotesquely confronting way, but it combines two well-loved ideas in a way that makes it fresh and worth the watch. Stylishly shot, the series immediately begins with a Knives Out premise, kicking off the underhanded drama and deception with the death of the patriarch. This is cohesively woven in with scandalous Succession-like rivalry, where characters are constantly at each other’s throats, vying for the inheritance and willing to cross unimaginable lines to get their greedy fingers on it.

Fans of both series will adore this thriller, though you will need a strong stomach for it, as it becomes a provocative tale about possession adorned with visuals that are often difficult to witness. With sexual assault, murder, and manipulation, the characters are all armed with the insatiable need for ownership that is so abhorrently graphic that we may need to look away from time to time, but our diligence is rewarded with the most gratifying ending.

Netflix’s ‘Master of The House’ Offers a ‘Knives Out’ Murder Mystery

One of the earliest relationships established in Master of the House is between the head of the household, Roongroj (Teerapong Leowrakwong), and his personal attendant, Kaimook (Narilya Gulmongkolpech). It is immediately set apart from the traditional master-servant model we see among the other staff members, as Roongroj asks for Kaimook’s input during a quarrel between his sons. By simply giving her a voice, he establishes a “special” connection between the two and also lauds his power over his sons, belittling them with an inferior’s opinion.

This is immediately reminiscent of Knives Out‘s Harlan (Christopher Plummer) and Marta (Ana de Armas), where Harlan is disparaging towards his greedy family members but clearly cares for Marta. However, Master of the House takes this a step further in the pilot, as Roongroj and Kaimook, shockingly, become husband and wife. But, of course, a murder mystery cannot begin without a death that all characters would benefit from, and in these films, that would be the patriarch.

Like in Knives Out, we mainly go through the whodunit plot through the perspective of the maid, while the rest of the family squabble over the inheritance and are usually aghast by what they received (or what they didn’t). Kaimook seems to be the only one who is vaguely interested in solving the murder, with even the police content to rule it an accident. As she picks up clues and scours for camera footage, we are faced with a handful of unsavory characters who all have fitting motivations. Despite the tangled web of deception that evokes the twists and turns of Knives Out, Master of the House‘s cinematography is clean and precise, fluidly moving from scene to scene cast in moody hues. While Knives Out is thoughtful and vibrant, Master of the House is provocative and shadowy, preferring its filming style to reflect its dark subject matter.

Runroj and Naimook’s Master-Servant Dynamic Is Creepy in ‘Master of the House’

While darkness certainly permeates throughout the show, there is something distinctly sinister and creepy about Roongroj and Kaimook’s relationship. While Harlan is fond of Marta because she is genuine and guileless, completely unlike the rest of his dysfunctional family, Roongroj is drawn to Kaimook’s obedience and beauty. As we learn more about Roongroj’s tyrannical and brutal ways, his marriage to Kaimook seems more like the same master-servant agreement, but now Kaimook gets to dress up and is more accessible in his bedroom. There is a holistic portrayal of their mysterious relationship in the show’s finale — it is as deeply unsettling and profoundly inexplicable as you would expect their relationship to be, yet still elicits a gasp. But the most intriguing way to dissect their bond is through the motif of butterflies.

Roongroj’s butterfly collection becomes a chilling visual metaphor for his worldview. Beauty isn’t admired—it is captured, pinned down, and possessed. He shows his appreciation through the act of pinning it down and encasing it in a glass prison with careful precision. The show plays on the link between power and beauty, as we usually see the elite carefully curate their appearances and indulge in lavish items. But Roongroj takes this further by holding a living thing captive, thus translating to how he views Kaimook. Interestingly, there are scenes where we also see Kaimook partaking in his hobby after he dies, hinting that perhaps the two aren’t so different after all.

‘Succession’ Rivalries Emerge in ‘Master of the House’

Image via Netflix

While Kaimook spends much of her screen time investigating the murder and being tormented by the family, the rest of the Thevasaitipaisarn clan compete in a rivalry that Succession fans would delight in. The back alley deals and games begin before the will is even read, particularly between the two brothers, Phupat (Charttayodom Hiranyasthiti) and Mavin (Thanavate Siriwattanagul). Everyone is vying for a hefty chunk of Roongroj’s multi-million-dollar diamond company, Theva Gems, and, like every true nepo-baby, is willing to cross lines to get it. The playing field is corrupted as blackmail firmly places one of the brothers at the helm of the empire, and naturally, below-the-belt deals, nasty jabs, and pitiless conniving ensue. This cutthroat debacle is also served with a disturbing dose of incest and numerous murders, and each culprit is elitist and arrogant enough to believe they will undoubtedly get away with it.

While Succession hosts an array of inherently unlikable characters, the show still manages to make them compelling through depth and complexity, even if a redeemable quality is nary in sight. Our obsession with the show exposes our glutton for villainy, as we invest in characters and stories to revel in the delicious drama. The characters of Master of the House may be unlikable in somewhat similar ways, but compelling, they are not. Instead, the series makes us revile them, particularly evident in Mavin’s characterization, who repeatedly sexually assaults and harasses his maids in repulsively graphic scenes. While we are hypnotized by Succession’s villainy, we are more traumatized by Master of the House‘s. But these disconcerting shots are effective in making the ending more powerful and celebratory, and we spend much of the runtime clutching onto the hope of seeing the family face their retribution.

‘Master of the House’ Is a Tale About Possession

Master of the House becomes a chilling and compelling tale about possession, as every motivation behind every decision in the household is based on taking ownership of something. The most overt example of this is the inheritance, where greed and power drive characters to head down ungodly depths just to gain a slight advantage. But greed and power also become their downfall, as the competitors are so blinded by their pride and extravagance that they don’t even realize there is another contender on the chessboard. This is inextricably linked to their desire to control the narrative around Roongroj’s death. While Kaimook is the only one actively seeking out the truth, the rest of the family members only become interested in the case when they can manipulate the facts to their advantage.

Most disgustingly, however, is when the characters try to possess other people. This is overtly done through the slave-like contract all the servants sign that strips them of autonomy and even allows the house to punish them by imprisoning them in a cage. The animalistic imagery paired with their visceral reaction is an absolutely harrowing viewing experience, and as we continue to watch the show, it’s almost as if we’ve sold our souls to this family alongside the staff. Murder and sexual assault also run rampant throughout the grounds, as masters “toy” with their staff just to prove that they are “above” them and own them. Despite all the brutality, the show also possesses us, holding our eyes captive with stunningly grim cinematography that delivers perfectly revolting images. As such, at the intersection of Knives Out and Succession is a provoking story about ownership and all the twisted forms it can manifest in that leaves us with a satisfying conclusion and rattled nerves.

Master of the House is available to stream now on Netflix in the U.S.

The Marías frontwoman María Zardoya paid tribute to her late niece and Milania Giudice‘s longtime friend, Victoria Zardoya.

“Rest in peace to my sweet niece, Victoria,” the Grammy nominee, 31, wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, July 30. “Heaven gained an angel too soon, but she lives on.”

María added that the following day would be Victoria’s honor walk. (An honor walk is a ceremonial event where doctors, nurses, staff, and family members commemorate a deceased person who chose to donate their organs.)

“She’ll give the gift of life to 8 others,” the singer continued. “As we play music this weekend, she’ll be saving lives and I know she’ll be singing and dancing along with us.”

An autopsy for Milania Giudice’s late friend Victoria Zardoya has been delayed following her sudden death at age 20. A spokesperson for the Manatee County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to Us that Zardoya will be transferred once organ donation is completed. It was reported this week that Zardoya died from injuries sustained in a fall […]

María included a throwback video of Victoria as she performed The Marías song “No One Noticed.” Victoria rocked a cowboy hat as she strummed a guitar and sang along to her aunt’s track.

“Light a candle and say a prayer for the family and for the families of the recipients. We love you, Victoria,” María concluded.

Earlier this month, Victoria unexpectedly died at age 20 following a fatal accident in Florida. Us previously reported that Victoria sustained a fall while with friends as they explored the historic ruins at Fort Dade on Egmont Key. Victoria’s friends called 911, and she was subsequently hospitalized. She died on July 24 due to her injuries.

The Giudice family — which includes Milania, parents Teresa Giudice and Joe Giudice as well as siblings Gia and Audriana Giudice — were quick to pay their respects to Victoria as she was a childhood friend of the Real Housewives of New Jersey star.

“There are no words for this kind of pain,” Joe, 54, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 26, sharing a photo of himself with Milania, 20, and her friends. “Victoria, you were like a daughter to me. I watched you grow up with my daughter Milania. We were neighbors for years, and you became part of our family. I can’t believe you’re gone.”

Victoria’s twin sister, Alexandra Zardoya, broke her silence nearly a week later.

“Victoria, I can’t believe this is real life. Tears are falling down my cheeks as I type every word,” Alexandra, 20, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 31. “My twin sister, my other half, we were in the womb together, and ever since then we have been inseparable. You are the only person in this world who truly understood every single part of me. You truly were a light in everyone’s life, especially mine. … You were everything and more to me.”

This week, one of the trailers we’ve all been waiting for finally landed as fans got their first full look at the return of Jason Sudeikis‘ soccer coach, Ted Lasso. Following his departure at the end of the third season to spend more time with his son back across the pond, Ted is reuniting with Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) and Hannah Waddingham‘s Rebecca Welton to tackle an all-new adventure in AFC Richmond.

In Season 4, which debuts on August 5, Ted will be putting his strange sense of optimism and baffling yet moving motivational quotes to good use in the women’s second division, as he takes charge of the Lady Greyhounds, and the men’s team continues their hunt for glory under Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein). Other fan-favorite faces will return in Season 4, alongside plenty of new blood to the squad, including Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely. But don’t let Ted Lasso be the only heartwarming sports-based tale to keep you entertained next month.

Starting August 1, you will be able to stream the 1993 classic The Sandlot on Paramount+. The sort of optimistic sports tale that Ted himself would look to for inspiration, this king of the childhood baseball movies follows Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) as he looks to make friends in the San Fernando Valley, finding solace with a group of kids who play baseball at the titular sandlot. Thanks to earning just $35 million at the box office, the film is now considered a certified cult classic, and one that many still return to for comfort viewing to this day.

‘The Sandlot’ Is Stepping Back Up to the Plate

A viewing of The Sandlot next month isn’t just advised for those looking to keep in the Ted Lasso spirit, as it also acts as the perfect reminder of what came before ahead of an exciting return to the plate. Despite two underwhelming direct-to-video sequels that followed the original, no one has managed to return to The Sandlot and recapture the magic. It has now been confirmed that Patrick Renna, who played Hamilton “Ham” Porter, is co-creating a new comedy series titled Dugout Dads with Kyle Howard. Renna will star alongside Chauncey Leopardi, Marty York, Brandon Quintin Adams, Victor DiMattia, Shane Obedzinski, Grant Gelt, Will Horneff, and even Guiry himself.

The Sandlot is coming to Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for more stories.

Mike “The Miz” Mizanin has faced John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania, starred in movies, and spent years performing under the bright lights of WWE. However, his next challenge comes with a different kind of pressure and a staggering number of hot dogs. On Saturday, August 1, the Ohio native will team up with Smirnoff Ice in Put-in-Bay to attempt two Guinness World Records: the Largest Display of Hot Dogs and the Largest Hot Dog Party.

Although the concept may sound like a lighthearted way to celebrate summer, The Miz revealed in an exclusive interview with The Blast that there are strict rules behind the attempt. If even one participant fails to follow the instructions, it could jeopardize the entire record-breaking event.

5

When asked how he was handling the pressure of attempting two records in a single day, The Miz pointed to his lengthy WWE résumé as proof that he knows how to perform when the stakes are high.

“Well, I’m a pressure player. That’s what I like. I thrive on pressure,” he told The Blast. “I beat John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 27 and retained the WWE Championship. So in the lights of the brightest, that’s when I step up to the plate.”

The WWE Superstar will serve as the host of the event, but his responsibilities will go beyond keeping hundreds of attendees entertained. He will also have to make sure everyone understands and follows the requirements necessary for Guinness World Records to recognize both attempts.

“It’s basically me being the host that I can be, Smirnoff Ice being the product that it is, and basically putting on a party of a lifetime, but not only that, everyone needs to follow directions,” The Miz explained. “So I’m gonna make sure that everyone is following the directions, so we can break two records.”

He added very confidently, “If everyone doesn’t come together as a cohesive team, this will not happen, but we’re not talking about that because this is gonna happen.”

The Hot Dog Display Comes With A Surprising Rule

5

The first goal is to create the World’s Largest Display of Hot Dogs, which The Miz was told will be larger than an NFL logo. However, simply arranging a massive number of hot dogs will not be enough to secure the title. According to The Miz, every hot dog must have a condiment, and separate participants will be responsible for adding those toppings.

“Now, it’s weird, because you have to have a condiment on there, and each hot dog will have a different condiment, and a different person has to put that on there,” he shared. “So there’s going to be a lot of direction, a lot of people.”

Once the display is completed and officially recognized, the event will immediately transition into the attempt to hold the world’s Largest Hot Dog Party. “And then right after we break the record for World’s Largest Hot Dog Display, we’re going right into the World’s Largest Hot Dog Party, and it is going to be big,” The Miz declared. “It’s gonna be gigantic.”

One Participant Could Jeopardize The Entire Attempt

The Miz emphasized that Guinness World Records does not simply hand out titles to anyone who gathers enough people and supplies. The organizers held an hour-long meeting ahead of the event to review the requirements and make sure every detail was accounted for.

While The Miz did not want to introduce any negativity, he acknowledged that one person failing to complete their assigned role correctly could affect everyone involved. “There’s a lot of rules in the Guinness Book of World Records. They don’t just give it to everybody,” he told The Blast. “You don’t just throw something together, and it happens.”

“I’m not going to put negativity out there, but if someone doesn’t do what they need to do, they can ruin it for the entire city,” he continued. “And for the entire state of Ohio. And I’m not going to let that happen as host.”

The Miz admitted that the amount of planning behind the event may surprise those who initially viewed it as nothing more than a giant hot dog party. “It sounds like a joke. It sounds funny, but it’s a lot of work. It’s for real,” he said. “We’re gonna break two records, and it’s gonna be the best time ever.”

Returning To Ohio Makes The Event Personal For The Miz

Beyond the possibility of adding two Guinness World Records to his list of achievements, the event holds personal significance for The Miz because it brings him back to his home state. He grew up visiting the Put-in-Bay and Sandusky areas with his family, making his return especially nostalgic.

“As soon as they said Cleveland, Put-in-Bay, I instantly remembered memories, my family and I, being at the beach, you know, going in that area of Sandusky where you’d go to Cedar Point,” he shared. “It just brought back such fond memories.”

For The Miz, returning to a place tied to his childhood while attempting something unprecedented makes the occasion different from many of the other partnerships he has taken on throughout his career. “When you can go home, to the Cleveland area and go to Put-in-Bay, where I used to go as a kid with my family and break a couple world records. It feels warm in my heart,” he said. “Like I’m giddy about it. I’m excited about it, and I can’t wait to do it.”

His friends have already been reaching out about participating. “My friends are already texting me, going, ‘Hey, we’re doing this. It’s happening,’” The Miz revealed. “And I go, guys, I know. Not every day you get to break two world records in one day.”

The Miz Has One Rule For His Own Hot Dog

The Miz may be willing to oversee hundreds of uniquely topped hot dogs, but his personal order is far less complicated. He named ketchup and mustard as his go-to combination, with relish or cheese occasionally making the cut.

Chili, however, is not welcome anywhere near his hot dog. “Some people like chili. I’m not that guy,” he admitted. “I’m not a chili on my hot dog type of person. It gets too sloppy. Too messy. Not for me.” He is not particularly interested in onions, either, joking that he does not want the bad breath following him around for the rest of the day.

Whether every topping involved in the display meets The Miz’s personal approval will not matter nearly as much as every participant following the official directions. With the supplies secured, hundreds of people registering, and extensive preparations underway, the WWE Superstar is confident Ohio will end the day with two new records.

“With Smirnoff Ice’s help, my help, my friends from Cleveland’s help, and everybody that’s gonna be a part of this event at Put-in-Bay,” he said, “Oh, man, it’s gonna be something special. It’s gonna be something to watch.”
