Rulebreakers with Saraya

From missed recordings and prank-level miscommunication to shit stories, and full-blown existential spirals, Saraya, Joey, and Adam deliver a Best Of episode that’s chaotic, unhinged, and accidentally heartfelt. What starts as Adam showing up to the studio alone—only to discover Saraya is casually in the UK—spirals into a self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking recap of the season’s wildest moments. With no one else around, Adam leans into the madness, pulling clips that prove RuleBreakers has never had structure, HR, or a safety net—and that’s exactly the point. The highlights fly fast: brutal shock collar games, disgusting food challenges, dating horror stories, bathroom confessions, AI scam prank calls, and guests oversharing in ways that should honestly be illegal. Saraya relives some of the show’s most infamous moments, from sexual awakenings via Disney villains to AI boyfriends getting a little too flirty, to stories that somehow manage to be both traumatic and hilarious. Midway through, the episode takes a sharp turn into the real stuff—sobriety journeys, community, chosen family, wrestling realities, fan pressure, and what it actually takes to survive in public life without losing your mind. It’s messy, vulnerable, and deeply on brand. Along the way, they detour into reincarnation theories, haunted encounters, ayahuasca nightmares, bar-fight fantasy teams, Skims controversies, grooming debates, and the undeniable truth that RuleBreakers works best when absolutely nothing goes to plan. Part clip show, part therapy session, part “how did this even make it to air?”—this Best Of episode is loud, honest, and the clearest snapshot yet of what RuleBreakers really is.

From Secret Santa chaos and unhinged Christmas gifts to wrestling heartbreaks and billion-dollar spectacle fights, Saraya, Raquel, Joey, and Adam deliver a Hot Topics episode that’s chaotic, funny, and unmistakably RuleBreakers. The crew opens with holiday catch-ups, canceled flights, Mexico escapes, and why Saraya went fully off-grid. That quickly spirals into Secret Santa mishaps, gift betrayals, TikTok “grail” toys, Skims boxers, fuzzy boots, and more proof that RuleBreakers has zero HR oversight. The conversation then pivots to combat sports and spectacle culture: Jake Paul getting demolished by Anthony Joshua, the business machine behind modern boxing, and why audiences love watching villains get humbled. That debate rolls straight into wrestling history as Saraya reacts to John Cena’s controversial final match, the tap-out heard around the world, and whether legends should ever go out on their backs. Along the way, they detour into British bulldogs, Saraya’s dad accidentally recording voicemail chaos, heel heat, retirement tours, conspiracy theories, and why entertainment doesn’t feel fully real anymore. The episode wraps with gift reveals, a surprise $500 giveaway, and loose end-of-year energy that only RuleBreakers can deliver. Part holiday hangout, part pop-culture breakdown, and fully unfiltered. Loud, messy, and exactly what you’d expect from Saraya, Raquel, Joey, and Adam. Follow the show Instagram & TikTok: @rulebreakerspod Follow Saraya: @saraya Enjoy the episode?

From burger-gate betrayals and accidental mukbang ASMR to Disney’s not-so-hidden sex jokes and SpongeBob officially losing the plot, Saraya and the crew deliver a chaotic, hilarious, and completely unfiltered Hot Topics episode that feels like Rulebreakers fully off the leash. They spiral from fast-food insanity (Grinch meals, Krabby Patties, and unhinged pickle dust) into a full-blown debate about how kids movies fell off, why Ice Spice in SpongeBob broke everyone’s brains, and whether Disney has been sneaking adult jokes into animated classics this whole time. Along the way, Adam fields a real-time crypto scam call on mic, the Adam vs. Joey cheeseburger feud escalates, and the team questions cancel culture, nostalgia, and how inconsistent modern “standards” have become. Somehow it all turns into Saraya breaking down a wildly successful Comic-Con weekend, meeting Elvira (and absolutely fangirling), discovering she’s somehow a BMW mood-board inspiration, and reaffirming why giving fans real time and respect still matters. It’s messy, loud, nostalgic, conspiratorial, and exactly the kind of controlled chaos Hot Topics was built for. It’s part food-fight meltdown, part pop-culture conspiracy spiral, part Comic-Con victory lap — and 100% Saraya, Joey, Raquel, Heather, and Adam being their most unfiltered, distracted, and hilarious selves.

From Joey’s hibachi birthday blowout to Sydney Sweeney’s interview backlash and a full-on deep dive into stalker fan culture, Saraya and the crew deliver a chaotic, hilarious, and totally unfiltered Hot Topics episode that defines Rulebreakers energy at its peak. They unpack why the Sydney Sweeney discourse exploded overnight, debate whether celebs owe the public anything when scandals hit, and break down the viral Ariana Grande red-carpet grab that has everyone questioning security and parasocial culture. Somehow this spirals into scam sneaker raffles, Crumbl pie addictions, ChatGPT giving everyone unhinged AI voices, and a surprisingly heated conversation about animal cruelty laws, shock-collar controversies, and horse carriages in New York. It’s part backstage birthday chaos, part pop-culture minefield, part internet-safety PSA, and 100% Saraya, Joey, Raquel, Tyler, Shelby, and Adam being their loudest, rawest, and most unfiltered selves.

From vasectomies and birth-control chaos to Princess Diana conspiracies, Illuminati rumors, and the never-ending mystery of the Epstein files, Saraya and the crew deliver one of the wildest, most unfiltered Hot Topics episodes yet. They dive straight into the big stuff — why men avoid vasectomies, how birth control wrecks women’s bodies, and why sobriety culture is finally having its moment. Then things spiral quickly into royal assassination theories, Obama birtherism truthers, COVID bioweapon speculation, and who actually runs the world (spoiler: it’s probably not Beyoncé, but Joey has thoughts). Between cloud-making machines, political cover-ups, and whether the Illuminati is just rich people being weird, this one turns into a full-blown conspiracy carnival. It’s part social commentary, part late-night group therapy, and 100% Saraya, Raquel, Joey, and Producer Adam in their most chaotic form.

From Skims underwear with a full bush to unsolicited DMs and nipple bras, Saraya and Arielle Raycene deliver one of the most unhinged, hilarious, and empowering Rulebreakers episodes yet. They dive headfirst into the chaos of sex positivity, body image, and modern womanhood - tackling everything from modeling scams and creepy hotel encounters to intuition, therapy, and why women’s gut instincts are a real superpower. It’s raw, unapologetic, and surprisingly deep, proving that confidence and vulnerability can coexist beautifully. Arielle opens up about leaving LA for New York, rebuilding from scratch, and creating her own lane as a filmmaker, performer, and founder of Small Town. With laughs, truth bombs, and a few unexpected scares (yes, there’s a haunted box game), this one’s equal parts funny, fearless, and totally Rulebreaker.

Saraya sits down with the creative force behind the explosive new band American Monster to talk about leaving Ohio at 16, getting recruited via MySpace, and why building his debut project from the ground up means more than any tour he’s ever done. They dive into Tyler’s early years cutting his teeth in dive bars and strip clubs, the emotional reality of losing his mom at 19, and a surreal encounter at a Las Vegas Dairy Queen that left everyone in the studio speechless. From long nights flyer'ing with his wife Shelby to designing his own merch, staging his own music videos, and writing every riff, Tyler opens up about doing the work no one sees, and the drive it takes to make something that actually lasts. He’s a marketer, a metalhead, a soft-spoken chaos engine, and one of Saraya’s real-life best friends.

From viral hot dog trays to one-take nightmare fuel, Weapons stars Callie Shuterra and Clayton Farris prove that it only takes one unforgettable scene to become horror icons. In this episode, Saraya sits down with the breakout duo behind the movie’s creepiest moments to talk all things culty, creepy, and controversial - from choreographing that now-infamous marionette walk to accidentally igniting a hot dog-fueled internet debate about queer representation in horror. They talk about how they landed their roles (spoiler: one auditioned, one didn’t), Zach Cregger’s meticulous vision on set, and what it’s like to go mega-viral while only being on screen for five minutes. Callie breaks down the family superstition that led her to tape her belly button before possession scenes, while Clayton shares the pressure of making your character lovable just seconds before a gruesome death. They also get candid about long-distance love, staying grounded in Hollywood, and how horror fans might be the most loyal on the planet. Oh, and yes… they’re already plotting their Weapons spin-off. Prequel energy only. This one’s eerie, hilarious, and weirdly heartfelt. Pure October Rulebreakers magic.

From bees and butt plugs to ants and ADHD, Brandon Rogers is a creative chaos gremlin in the best possible way, and this episode proves exactly why. Saraya sits down with the iconic YouTuber, voice actor, and unfiltered comedy king to talk early internet fame, mushroom-fueled writing binges, and why he still edits everything in iMovie like it’s a sacred ritual. They unpack Brandon’s California sober lifestyle (weed, yes - prescription drugs, no), the spiritual downloads he gets mid-trip, and how the internet felt lawless and alive back when we were all spreading that Marilyn Manson rib rumor. Brandon opens up about his Catholic upbringing, the deep grief he felt over Robin Williams’ death, and how ADHD has shaped his career, his relationships, and his sense of humor. Oh, and yes… he sticks his hands into a mystery box of raw eggs, worms, spaghetti, and canned tomatoes for our brand-new segment “What’s In the F**king Box.” He also eats some of it. On purpose.

From surviving an abusive relationship in high school to leading the National Domestic Violence Hotline through a $30 million expansion, Katie Ray-Jones is proof that healing is possible and powerful. In this deeply personal episode, Saraya sits down with the CEO, survivor, and fellow board member to talk about the long road from trauma to purpose, and how Katie has turned her pain into protection for millions. They unpack the emotional layers of abuse that often go unseen - financial, emotional, psychological - and the heartbreaking realities of what it means to survive in silence. Katie shares how her early dreams of becoming a lawyer shifted after witnessing the terror victims face in courtrooms, how being hands-on with hotline operators keeps her grounded in the work, and why she didn’t even realize her first relationship was abusive until years into her career. Saraya opens up about her own past with intimate partner violence, and the two women share a raw, candid conversation about resilience, recovery, and reclaiming your sense of self. They talk PTSD, therapy, the power of community, and why the phrase “Why didn’t they just leave?” needs to die forever. Plus, what happens when the person causing harm calls the hotline? And can abusive behavior really be unlearned? This episode answers those questions and then some. Oh, and yes… Katie crushes the mouthguard challenge and turns out to be a dark horse Rulebreaker game-night champ. Absolutely iconic. This one’s vulnerable, vital, and packed with truth.

Episode Description: From MySpace bulletin boards to Warped Tour pit reporting, Tori Kravitz has always known how to make noise in the music world. What started as a teenage blog turned into interviews with Ariana Grande and All Time Low, a fan-voted win that made her the face of Warped Tour, and now a powerhouse career as a publicist and podcaster. In this episode, Saraya sits down with the self-made scene queen to talk hustling her way into green rooms at 15, the grind of proving herself in a male-dominated industry, and how she’s built a reputation as one of the most trusted voices in rock. They dive into the chaos of internet trolls accusing her of sleeping her way into interviews (while she hadn’t even had her first kiss), surviving toxic industry dynamics, and navigating dating when everyone assumes backstage passes are part of the deal. Plus, Tori opens up about her quarter-life crisis detour as a fitness coach, her vegan journey (yes, that includes handing out questionable PETA cheese), and the confidence it takes to reinvent yourself again and again. Oh, and yes…Saraya somehow ends up talking Goo Goo Dolls, paranormal vibes, reincarnation theories, and Tori takes on the mouth guard challenge. Drool was spilled. This one’s raw, funny, and fiercely inspiring, a true Rulebreakers ride from start to finish.
