Split Screen Introduces: Discount Dave (and the Fix)

Everyone has a party story. Host and creator of Personally: Discount Dave (and the Fix) Rebecca Auerbach’s involved in a run-in with rock icon David Lee Roth (you know, from Van Halen). At least, that's who he said he was. It’s Vancouver. 2005. Becca, a young actor who loves hard and parties harder gets her first big break at a Shakespeare Festival. She’s young, she’s having fun, party girls are FUNNNNN… Rehydrate, recuperate, recalibrate, repeat. But when her best friend goes on a date with the aging rocker, Becca is on a mission. To get a piece of the action. And maybe it's because she loves rock and roll, or maybe it's because she’s trying to fill a hole, but she holds onto that night. And it ultimately leads to her own reckoning. A harrowing and hilarious blend of memoir and auto-fiction, Discount Dave (and the Fix) is the true-ish story of a fake rockstar, a real trial and what it means to stop running, face yourself and fight to heal. Episode one of this series, "I Runneth with the Devil" is an Official Selection of the 2026 Tribeca Audio Festival.More episodes of Discount Dave (and the Fix) are available wherever you get your podcasts, and here: https://link.mgln.ai/DDxSS

As filming wraps, the girls fly back home, and the producers have a surprise waiting for them when they land. As surprises go, this isn’t exactly a great one.

Who is Matt Hicks? A questionable Prince Harry lookalike… but also the man who might be able to tell us what was really going on behind-the-scenes. All we need to do now is find him.

Film crews, cults and coercion. A handy guide on how to get people to believe what you want them to.

Just whose idea was this anyway? And how did they intend to pull off such an absurd stunt? Scott needs answers. And he knows just who he needs to speak to. Danny Fenton — the creator of ‘I Wanna Marry Harry’.
