Description

In this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, host Zoe Scott sits down with Dr. John Zambetti — A Malibu local, an ER doctor, lifelong musician, and storyteller whose life bridges rock ’n’ roll, medicine, and love. John’s journey begins in the Bronx in the 1960s, where his passion for music first took root. As the decade unfolded, he followed that passion west to California, where he continued making music with his band The Malibooz while also pursuing a demanding career in medicine. Along the way, John crossed paths with rock legends like Stevie Nicks and Mick Jagger, all while building a remarkable second life as an emergency room doctor. For decades, he balanced the intensity of working in the ER with the joy and creative freedom of playing music. In this fun and heartfelt conversation, John shares stories from his musical journey through the ’60s and beyond, what it was like to live a life between two very different worlds, and how music helped him stay grounded while witnessing the raw realities of life and loss in the emergency room. He also opens up about grief, resilience, and the unexpected gift of finding love again in his 70s with actress Jane Seymour. This episode is a powerful reminder that life can hold many chapters — and that it’s never too late for music, passion, or love. ✨ Topics in this episode: • Growing up in the Bronx in the 1960s • Moving to California to follow music • His band The Malibooz • Encounters with Stevie Nicks and Mick Jagger • The realities of working as an ER doctor • Music as a lifelong creative outlet • Loss, healing, and finding love in his 70s with actress Jane Seymour

Confessions of a Lead Singer: Little Dume's David Frank Gets Real About Love, Music & Life.

David Frank, lead singer of the Malibu-based band Little Dume, joins Zoe for a wide-ranging conversation about music, growing up in Malibu, love, privilege, personal growth, and the experiences that shaped both the man and the artist he is today. He opens up about growing up in Malibu, the advantages—and unexpected challenges—of being surrounded by wealth, success, and opportunity. He candidly talks about being bullied as a kid, how television producer **Mark Burnett** helped change the trajectory of Little Dume, and why he's not afraid to admit that growing up in Malibu opened doors for his music career. He also shares the story behind Little Dume, the inspiration for the band's newest album, and what music has taught him about life, relationships, and authenticity. No Confessions episode would be complete without a few unexpected questions. David reveals his celebrity crush, the riskiest place he's ever had sex, the last time he cried, and why, after years of one-night stands, genuine connection has become just as important as chemistry. He also reflects on navigating divorce, taking time to focus on himself, and what this next chapter of life looks like. This episode is filled with laughter, honest confessions, stories from behind the scenes of the music industry, and a refreshing conversation about success, privilege, love, and becoming comfortable in your own skin. 🎵 Follow Little Dume: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/littledumeband/ Website: https://www.littledume.com Follow David Frank: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidfrankmusic/

This conversation is filled with honesty, deep reflections on identity and creativity, insight into Hollywood culture, and lots of unexpected laughs along the way. 🎬 Julie Pacino’s directorial debut *I Live Here Now* premiered in 2025 and stars Lucy Fry, Madeline Brewer, Sheryl Lee, and Matt Rife.

Confessions of Darin Olien: From Superfoods to Soul Searching to Biohacking.

Known around the world as the “Superfood Hunter,” Darin Olien became a household name through the Emmy-winning Netflix series "Down to Earth" with Zac Efron. But this conversation on Confessions at the Cabana goes far beyond health trends, superfoods, and biohacking. Darin sat down with Zoe Scott for what was supposed to be one kind of interview… and it turned into something completely different. In this intimate and inspiring Malibu conversation, Darin opens up about loss, purpose, relationships, spirituality, and what it really means to live consciously in today’s world. Zoe and Darin also dive into the importance of taking accountability for your life — owning your choices, facing hard truths, and realizing that healing, growth, and change ultimately start with you. The episode moves from wellness and survival to deeper conversations about the human experience, emotional resilience, personal responsibility, and the search for meaning. Darin briefly shares details about his upcoming documentary series exploring the meaning of happiness around the world, including episodes where he travels with Jason Momoa and Elijah Wood. This is not the polished version you usually see online. It’s raw, personal, funny, soulful, unexpected… and deeply human. From living in a tipi after losing his home, to questioning modern society, fame, health, and connection — Darin shares a side of himself that rarely gets seen. This episode explores practical habits for health, the role of vulnerability and listening, and how small consistent choices can lead to large, positive changes in yourself and the world. 🎙️ Confessions at the Cabana is Malibu’s raw and unfiltered podcast where celebrities, creatives, surfers, healers, and locals open up about life beyond the image.

episode Confessions of an Unhoused Man in Malibu: I'm on a Mission from God ~Daremo’s Story artwork

Confessions of an Unhoused Man in Malibu: I'm on a Mission from God ~Daremo’s Story

On this episode of Confessions at the Cabana, we do something that doesn’t happen nearly enough… We give an unhoused person the space to share his story. ~Daremo is a familiar face along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, walking daily with his two dogs, Sweets and Friend, cleaning up trash and caring for the community. Not for recognition—but in the hope of inspiring others to do the same. He doesn’t resonate with the word “homeless.” He prefers unhoused, reminding us that home isn’t a place—it’s something you carry within your heart. ~Daremo says he’s on a pilgrimage—living with purpose, devoted to serving God, and guided by compassion. But beyond his story, this conversation is an invitation… To slow down. To listen. To see the human being in front of you. Because so often, people who are unhoused are judged, dismissed, or overlooked—without anyone ever asking who they are, what they’ve lived through, or what they have to say. ~Daremo’s message is simple: Judge less. Love more. Care for each other and the world we share. He even hands out bumper stickers that read “Don’t Litter” and “Our Community Cares”—small reminders that we’re all responsible for this place we call home. This episode is about presence, compassion, and the power of giving someone a voice. New episodes drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays. Watch or listen—and maybe the next time you see someone who’s unhoused, you pause… and choose curiosity over judgment. If you’re in Malibu and see ~Daremo with Sweets and Friend, stop and say hi.
