Join us for an unfiltered and heartfelt chat with Actor/Comedian Spankey Hayes, a Detroit native who found fame in Hollywood. With a bowl of tuna and rice, Spankey dishes about his journey through the glitz and grit of showbiz.

From Detroit's streets to Hollywood's lights, Hayes' story is a roller-coaster of auditions, rejections, and triumphs. He took an 8-year hiatus, diving into the real world—jobs, marriage, and family life. But now, he's back with a Netflix special and an upcoming movie "Back on the Strip."

Over a simple yet satisfying meal, we discuss fame, money, child support, and the authenticity he's carried from real life to the spotlight. Tune in to discover how this Detroit boy navigated Hollywood's twists while staying true to himself.
