The Rock Bottom Podcast is a brutally honest, no-holds-barred, fire-breathing satire show that digs into the dysfunction of public institutions—especially the American education system—with sarcasm sharper than a school board member’s ego.

It’s hosted by Eric Scott Gold (DJ ESG), a Philly-area native who’s got zero chill, less patience, and absolutely no problem torching overpaid administrators, underfunded schools, and the clown car of committees driving districts like Council Rock straight into the ground.

What you’ll hear on the Rock Bottom Podcast:

Savage solo rants that roast everything from budget meetings to broken leadership.
Sarcastic takedowns of bloated bureaucracy and bad policy.
Audio memes, crowd sound effects, Mortal Kombat punches, and podcast segments that sound like a WWE promo and a PTA meeting had a lovechild.
Hysterical characters like Andy the imbecile & Al the halitosis.

It’s part comedy, part commentary, and fully fed up—a podcast for teachers, parents, and taxpayers who are tired of watching school systems crash and burn while the suits collect paychecks and pass blame.

Want a one-liner to sum it up?
“Where education meets demolition.”

Who Is Eric Scott Gold, Really?

Let’s get something straight—Eric Scott Gold isn’t just another voice with a podcast and a chip on his shoulder. He’s a 30-year entertainment veteran, a master of the mic, and a human Swiss Army knife when it comes to creating unforgettable experiences. From acting and hosting at Universal and Disney, to running large-scale event operations as a general manager, to spearheading 501C3's like the Bucks County Anti Bullying Association and Wish Upon A Wedding, Eric’s career has always been about one thing: making moments matter—and making them loud.

Born with hustle in his DNA and a mic in his hand, Eric built his name in the Philly-area entertainment scene as DJ ESG, packing dance floors and perfecting the art of connection. But it didn’t stop at music. With a sharp eye for business, a sixth sense for storytelling, and zero tolerance for BS, Eric expanded into podcasting, launching The Rock Bottom Podcast—a raw, hilarious, and unfiltered show that calls out dysfunction wherever it hides (especially in public schools).

Behind the sarcasm and sound effects is a guy who lives for growth. Eric’s not interested in doing what’s easy or expected—he’s driven by a relentless need to break ceilings, push boundaries, and get people thinking and laughing at the same time. He’s led teams, built brands, managed chaos, and somehow still finds the time to create content that hits home. With over 175,000 podcast streams across 18 platforms since May 2023, he’s proving that when you mix real talk with real talent, people listen.

He’s not perfect—and he’ll be the first to tell you that. But he’s honest, fearless, and allergic to mediocrity. Whether you’re hearing him rant on Rock Bottom or watching him run the show at an epic wedding, one thing’s guaranteed: Eric shows up real, every damn time.
