HangUps
Hollywood Breathwork/Health & Wellness expert Jon Paul Crimi - along with his best friend, uber-music-producer and rock legend John "Feldy" Feldmann - interview high profile musicians, actors, athletes and related VIPs about what personal obstacles they face and how they overcome them. What makes their show so unique is their no-nonsense, no-holds-barred, rock 'n roll candor mixed with deep insights and state-of-the-art solutions. It’s flat-out hysterical and also surprisingly emotional. With a friendship spanning over two decades, they’ve been through everything, seen it all and now they’re sharing the tools that helped them not only survive but thrive. Their colorful tales range from the unusual challenges of life on tour, to subjects closer to home like marriage issues, dating, diet, exercise, parenting and addiction recovery. These candid, always raucous conversations address timely, more internalized subjects as well, that rockstars and everyday folks alike can relate to: anxiety, depression, impulse control, panic disorders and a galaxy of other modern-day concerns. Jon Paul and Feldy offer easy-to-understand, proven solutions that have worked wonders for their A-list clients and their civilian pals as well. HANGUPS' edgy humor, surprising depth and spot-on, practical advice makes it an entertaining, relatable and above all, inspirational experience. If you like Joe Rogan and Howard Stern, imagine them co-hosting a show about personal transformation. That's Jon Paul and Feldy's HANGUPS.

How do people cope with the challenges of staying sober? HangUps throws that question right into the spotlight, with Hollywood breathwork coach and sober companion Jon Paul Crimi teaming up with his long-time friend, rock legend and producer John "Feldy" Feldmann. Together, they’re setting up a show that’s part recovery chat, part rock ’n’ roll therapy session, and part comedy.
Jon Paul lays it out straight: he's a breathwork teacher who also supports people in sobriety, and he wants this podcast to "help you change your life" by sharing practical tools. He makes it clear that nothing is off-limits – depression, anxiety, stress and the messy stuff that often sits behind addiction are all on the table. Feldy adds his own story with the same honesty. Known from his band Goldfinger and producing acts like blink-182 and Panic!
At The Disco, he talks about learning breathwork from Jon Paul and how it "changed my life" after years of battling anxiety and depression. He calls HangUps a "solution-based show", stressing that they’re not just swapping war stories, they’re talking about what actually helps.
You’ll get high-energy banter, blunt truth, and real talk about mental health and sobriety, especially aimed at people who might feel alone in their struggles – including fans who look up to artists, athletes and actors and assume they’ve got it all figured out. The teaser also hints at plenty of humour, with a playful promo drop-in from fictional character Uncle Drank, reminding you that even serious conversations can make room for a laugh.
If you’re sober, sober-curious, or just tired of pretending everything’s fine, this show promises raw honesty, practical ideas and the kind of friendship dynamic that makes tough topics feel a bit less heavy. Ready to hear what your heroes actually do when life hits hard?
