    #34 - Real Men, Real Conversations - The Vice All Young Men Must Avoid
    Jan 8 2026
    Today’s episode is directed specifically at young men ages 18–30, and it covers one of the most destructive and overlooked addictions right now: sports gambling...

    With betting apps, prop bets, and “risk-free” offers everywhere, gambling has become a casino in your pocket. In this solo episode, Jimmy breaks down why sports gambling is uniquely dangerous for young men, how it rewires dopamine, why most gamblers lose long-term, and how this addiction quietly destroys finances, focus, relationships, and mental health.

    Jimmy shares real stories, real numbers, and personal experiences to explain why this vice is being normalized, how it traps people into chasing losses, and why it has one of the highest relapse and suicide rates of any addiction.

    This episode isn’t about judgment. It’s about protecting your future, building discipline, and choosing long-term freedom over short-term dopamine. If you’re a young man, or you know one who’s caught in this cycle, this episode is worth listening to and sharing.

    #668 – Stefanos Sifandos – Author “Tuned In and Turned On” Discusses How to Elevate Your Relationship
    Jan 5 2026
    Stefanos Sifandos is a close friend of mine, one of my personal coaches, and the author of the book Tuned In and Turned On. I had the chance to read it before it was released and finished it in less than 48 hours. It felt like he was speaking directly to me the entire time. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be “tuned in” in your relationship, why so many men unknowingly disconnect through busyness and achievement, and how that disconnection slowly erodes intimacy.

    Stefanos breaks down how childhood conditioning, shame, and unprocessed pain show up in adult relationships and what men can do differently starting today.

    We also cover masculine and feminine dynamics, how safety creates attraction, why presence matters more than productivity at home, and the simple daily practices that help men reconnect without losing their edge.

    This episode is for married men, men in serious relationships, and anyone who wants deeper connection and fulfillment.

  • #667 – Jimmy Shares His Yearly 2-Hour Goal-Setting Strategy

    #667 – Jimmy Shares His Yearly 2-Hour Goal-Setting Strategy
    Dec 29 2025
    Every year between Christmas and New Year’s, Jimmy takes a couple of hours to slow down, review the year he just lived, and intentionally design the year ahead. In this episode, Jimmy shares the full audio from his annual 2-hour goal-setting session. This is the exact process he has personally used for over 15 years to gain clarity, set direction, and build his life by design.

    Over 200,000 people have gone through this training over the years, and the reason is simple. Most people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning their year. This session is about fixing that. You’ll walk through how to review the past year honestly, identify what actually mattered, clarify what you want your next year to be about, and start building a plan that aligns with the life you want, not just goals on paper.

    If you want to watch the full video version of this session or learn more, visit: jimmyrexgoals.com

    There is also a goal-setting guidebook for this session to help you work through the exercises as you listen. Jimmy also shares why accountability matters and announces that We Are The They Tribe, his men’s group focused on brotherhood, accountability, and real follow-through, is now open again.

  • #666 - Jayson Edwards - Founder of J-Dawgs Builds Food Empire from Selling Hot Dogs

    #666 - Jayson Edwards - Founder of J-Dawgs Builds Food Empire from Selling Hot Dogs
    Dec 23 2025
    Jayson Edwards is the founder of J-Dawgs, one of Utah’s most iconic food brands. He started it as a BYU student with $600 from pawning his guitar to his dad, running a tiny shack near campus that somehow turned hot dogs into a full-blown movement. In this conversation, Jayson breaks down what actually made J-Dawgs explode early, the painful lessons that come with scaling a food business, and why focus, quality, and community matter more than hype. In this episode, we talk about:
    • Starting J-Dawgs with $600 and no clue what he was doing
    • How the “shack” created crazy demand before social media
    • Why he stayed narrow instead of expanding into everything
    • Supply chain chaos, owning the IP, and protecting quality
    • What COVID was really like as a food business owner
    • Hiring, culture, and the weight of 300+ employees
    • Temptation to sell, and how to make decisions without emotion
    • Contentment, family, and not chasing “happier than happy”

  • #665 - Megan Del Toro - Known as “Kambo Meg” Healing Through Administering Frog Poison

    #665 - Megan Del Toro - Known as “Kambo Meg” Healing Through Administering Frog Poison
    Dec 16 2025
    Today Jimmy sits down with Meg Del Toro, better known as Kambo Meg, a Kambo practitioner who facilitates one of the most intense and misunderstood healing experiences out there.

    For those unfamiliar, Kambo is a traditional Amazonian medicine that uses peptides from frog secretion to intentionally activate the body’s fight or flight response. It is not psychedelic, it is legal, and it is designed to purge, reset, and regulate the nervous system.

    Jimmy has personally sat with Meg multiple times and regularly brings her in to facilitate sessions for men in his group. Meg shares her personal story of childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and the long road through therapy, plant medicine, and embodiment work that eventually led her to Kambo.

    Together, Jimmy and Meg talk about why chaos feels familiar after trauma, how the nervous system gets stuck in survival mode, and why practices like Kambo, Sananga, cold exposure, and breathwork help retrain the body to stay present under stress. They also break down what an actual Kambo ceremony looks like, why surrender matters more than toughness, the role of purging, boundaries, emotional regulation in relationships, and how healing the nervous system changes the way you show up as a partner, parent, and leader.

    This conversation is raw, grounded, and honest. If you struggle with anxiety, addiction patterns, emotional reactivity, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will give you a new framework for understanding why and what you can do about it.

  • #664 - Amanda Kroepfl - Sex and Relationship Coach

    #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.

    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.
