About this listen

 In this episode of the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast, host Meredyth Willits sits down with former Major League Baseball agent and current viral truth-teller Joshua Kusnick, and his brilliant partner-in-chaos, Sarah Ann — co-hosts of the Damage Control podcast and one of TikTok's most unpredictable creative duos. With over 75 million views across platforms and a reputation for being completely unfiltered, Joshua isn't here to win popularity contests. From taking down media grifters and political hacks, to exposing the dark side of professional sports, to writing a book and gearing up for a comedy tour — he's doing it all his way. Sarah brings balance to the madness with her lived experience in mental health, addiction recovery, cruise travel, and the beauty industry. Together, their energy is raw, unscripted, and surprisingly heartfelt. Meredyth, Josh, and Sarah dive into: ✅ What it really takes to be "uncancelable" in today's world ✅ Why Josh left behind a high-profile MLB career to speak the truth online ✅ The childhood trauma, medical history, and fire that made him who he is ✅ Why the sports industry is more sociopathic than you think ✅ Mental health, ECT therapy, and surviving the darkest moments ✅ Sarah's story of addiction, recovery, and eight years clean ✅ Navigating chaos, TikTok trolls, and being real in a curated world ✅ Why some stories are easier to tell to strangers than family ✅ The rise of Aaron Parnas and the danger of fake experts ✅ Israel, antisemitism, and the cost of speaking out ✅ Making space for dark jokes, love, and complex people They also talk about starting their podcast Damage Control, building a life with both boundaries and brutal honesty, and why Sarah refuses to watch Josh's content (but still makes fun of his hot tub videos anyway). Whether you're a politics junkie, a creator trying to find your voice, or someone who just appreciates real talk — this episode will make you laugh, cringe, nod your head, and maybe even scream into the void. 00:00:00 Welcome to the show.
