The Joe Rogan Experience Arguably still the biggest podcast in the world right now after all these years, former TV host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan has cemented his place as the king of podcasts. Originally started in 2009, the podcast has grown to over 190 million downloads a month and has seen music streaming service Spotify sign an exclusivity deal with Rogan. The podcast has been described as “an important node of the intellectual dark web” and has featured a diverse ideological mixture of political guests including Democratic presidential candidates and conservative figures. The show itself has featured a plethora of guests ranging from Kanye West, Elon Musk to Oliver Stone. Although the podcast often comes under fire, claiming that Rogan sets the stage for various undesirable opinions without…

Everyone wants to be a millionaire (or billionaire - aim high!), but not everyone has what it takes to get there, or the idea to get there. At the age of 17, Kyle Deever almost died and from that moment on he knew he had to make money. Not only to change his life, but to help change others. He went from being in almost $200K worth of debt to a couple million in net worth in the span of a year and a half through his window company. He is living proof that anyone can do it, but you have to have the desire to succeed and not be lazy. While all of the big Hollywood stars love Kyle’s attitude and have appeared on his podcast now, we spoke…

"A SENSE OF THEATRE IS PROVIDED BY THE REAR DOORS WHICH HINGE REARWARDS, AND THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THEM IS ALL DONE ELECTRONICALLY." I still can’t help but call it an SUV, no matter how it makes the facial muscles of all those wearing red Ferrari jackets tighten and tense. Station wagon? Shooting Brake? Crossover? None of those really provide an adequate description of its perceived exoticness, but this is just Ferrari’s way of saying that this is not a competitor to the Aston Martin DBX or Lamborghini Urus. As we know, trying to differentiate one’s product in consumers’ minds is half the battle, and Ferrari are masters of making you drink their expensive marketing cool-aid. What the Persangue does have going for it in the exclusivity department is…

Now, given how BMW has carved up the M3 name in recent times, we understand how all this badge engineering might be a bit confusing. BMW has already launched the Competition version and the CSL version, and that has established a pretty good context for the CS to fit into it. For added context, you only need to look back about five years when the badge was placed on the bootlid of the previous generation M4. The recipe back then was to fit some stickier rubber, tweak the suspension, bump up the power and hollow out sections of the interior. What remained was replaced with carbon fiber. Despite being a meaner monster on paper, paradoxically, it felt more planted than the regular M4. So what of this new version? Does…

Happy to have you featured on FHM! Tell us what are some of the things you did to prepare for this shoot? I’m happy and thankful to be featured! To prepare for this shoot I did some shopping at Agent Provocateur (if that’s where the lingerie came from) what I usually do, is put some makeup on, and voila! But I do work out on my pole 5 times per week and do some weights and machine work. If you want a hard body it takes work and you have to watch what you put in your mouth. I like to eat a lot of protein especially. You’ve got an amazing figure and beauty about you, we’re keen to know what you would say is your best feature? Oh, my…

Divorce rates around the world don’t lie. It is almost 50% that couples divorce these days, and the truth be told, many cannot afford it. FHM sat down with Charlotte Christian, the founder of Charlotte Christian Law which is the largest female-owned family law firm in the country. Over the past two years, Charlotte has become a prominent figurehead in the national family law industry and has devoted her career to defending the rights of individuals undergoing a complex separation, divorce and custody processes. We asked her all about what people can do when preparing for a divorce and what it actually costs! What are the top reasons today that couples split? We hear many reasons for faults in divorce, adultery, abuse, etc, but what I believe to be the…

The motor industry is at a crossroads and we seem to reflect on it every issue: the inexorable transition from internal combustion engines, to hybrid and to full EV. The momentum is with the latter, with the occasional V8 or V12 clinging on for dear life. And nobody is more synonymous with V12s than Lamborghini so news that it’s charismatic normally aspirated V12 is coming to an end is significant, and emotional. Lamborghini has announced that its 6.5-liter V12 will take the stage for a final time in two special edition models; And this really is the last of the bloodline, so savor these technical highlights. Both are based on the Aventador’s carbon-fiber monocoque but distinguish themselves by having an exterior made exclusively of carbon fiber. There is no room…

She is now making headlines as the “Copioneer of smartphone filmmaking” with her own film, Cinema Rebel.

As a cop, there were some delicious moments when I left the claustrophobic confines of an interview room and punched the air in triumph! Unfortunately, these were rare, since the vast majority of these exchanges – made by fictional television adaptations to feel unnaturally compelling and characteristic of good prevailing over bad ─ followed a rehearsed and predictable routine. However, before I comprehensively extinguish all thoughts of police interviews being some sort of celebration of justice, let me regale you with one instance that still makes me smile. A relatively low-level crime – a burglary at a school – was witnessed by a passer-by who called it into the police. Believing that a suspect had removed something out of school hours and hot-footed it towards a nearby housing estate, they…

More than any other Lexus, the new RZ packs the most novel features of the lot. And we’re not just referring to the fact that it is Lexus’s first fully electric SUV, which correctly so is quite a big and bold statement in the market. The Lexus RZ is built on an entirely new electrical platform. It’s been intentionally designed around the batteries so it is less compromised than other Lexus models which were adapted later on in life. Fewer compromises mean improvements in weight management, range and interior packaging. The battery itself is a 71.4kWh unit which is smaller than you’ll find in a Jaguar I-Pace and BMW iX. Nevertheless it pushes out 201bhp to the front axle and 108bhp to the rear axle, and the all-wheel drive system…

Ford’s performance following may have taken a knock with the tapering of its popular hot hatches and sedans but there is light at the end of the tunnel thanks to vehicles like the Ranger Raptor – a slightly compacted version of the infamous F150. In several markets there simply isn’t anything quite like it; a fusion of motorsport DNA that will give ordinary owners the feeling of what it would be like to drive in events such as the Baja 1000 desert race, but also do the school run. The ultimate performance bakkie is headlined by its 3.0-liter twin-turbo petrol EcoBoost engine punching out an angry 292kW and 583Nm. It’s actually the same engine found in the most popular selling derivative of the F150 in the United States… Rarely does…
