Heal Squad x Maria Menounos Regular Guy Friday Ep. 228: How Narcissists Avoid Accountability
It’s Friday and we fooled them again—made it through another week to bring you another edition of Regular Guy Friday! This week we talk fireworks, frauds, and Fourth of July reflections. From summer scams to seagulls with side agendas, we unpack what it means to take one on the chin—literally and metaphorically. We talk the new Hollywood hustle, where the old power players are now scrambling for relevance, and the real stars are influencers, podcasters, and yes—narcissist hunters. We explore the emotional weight of victimhood, why so few people take accountability, and the rare redemption in doing just that.
Plus, some real talk about shame, embarrassment, and the importance of sharing your worst moments if it means someone else can avoid them. From wiring money to a fake landlord to almost buying a scam car off Facebook, this episode is part confessional, part cautionary tale.
We talk family carnivals, unpaid dues, and how the grind of blue-collar summer jobs can shape (and scar) a life. And we ask: what if the greatest gift we give each other isn’t advice or money—but just the truth about where we messed up?
RGF Bonus: The return of Joey Chestnut, the secret logo of VictimCon, homemade baloney sandwiches, Diet Coke-fueled carney days, and a very special shoutout to Tanya Tucker (whether she wants it or not).
Happy Friday. Bye Betches.
