    #664 - Amanda Kroepfl - Sex and Relationship Coach
    Dec 9 2025
    In today’s episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Amanda Kroepfl, one of the top sex and relationship coaches working today. Amanda has coached several members of Jimmy’s community, she has spoken at We Are The They events, and the feedback has always been incredible. So Jimmy brought her on the podcast to talk openly and honestly about sex, intimacy, attraction, communication, and everything couples struggle with but rarely discuss.

    Amanda breaks down why it’s so difficult for couples to talk about sex, why belief systems from childhood and religion shape adulthood intimacy, and how unspoken expectations quietly damage relationships. She explains the “squirrels” that hijack the brain, the role of masculine and feminine energy, scheduling sex, aftercare, fantasies, porn, nervous-system regulation, repairing a sexless marriage, and how partners can create safety instead of pressure.

    Jimmy shares his own experiences—from leaving a strict religious upbringing, to hiring sex coaches, to navigating shame and redefining intimacy in a healthy way. The conversation is raw, honest, and designed to help couples finally understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.

    This episode is for married couples, people dating, men in Jimmy’s community, and anyone who wants more connection, better communication, and a happier sex life.

    #663 - Jay Paterno - Former Penn St Assistant Coach & Son Of All Time Winningest NCAA Football Coach
    Dec 3 2025
    In today’s episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Jay Paterno, former Penn State assistant coach, current member of the Penn State Board of Trustees, and son of the all-time winningest coach in NCAA football history, Joe Paterno. Jay has spent his entire life inside college football and just released his new book, Blitz, which pulls back the curtain on the pressures, politics, and realities shaping the sport today.

    Jimmy and Jay start with the one thing everyone in Utah has been talking about this week — Penn State’s pursuit of BYU head coach Kalani Sitake. Jay shares what he was hearing behind the scenes, how seriously Penn State considered Kalani, and why it now looks like he is staying at BYU. From there, they dive into the changing landscape of college football: NIL, the transfer portal, player mental health, the explosion of sports gambling, and the lack of leadership at the top of the NCAA.

    Jay also opens up about growing up as Joe Paterno’s son, what leadership looked like in his home, and how he has navigated criticism and controversy while trying to honor his father’s legacy.

    #661 - Chase McWhorter - Controversial ex husband stars on hit TV series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
    Nov 20 2025
    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.

Thurl looks back on being the No. 7 pick in 1983, falling in love with Utah and its fans, and the lessons his mom taught him about letting basketball open doors to serve the community. He also relives NC State’s iconic 1983 title run with Jimmy V—manifesting by “practicing” cutting down the nets, the game plan against Phi Slama Jama, and why leadership, belief, and defense still win.
