The Fabulous Freebirds on Talk Is Jericho - EP237

Handsome Rusev and Lana are doing their first podcast EEEVVEERRR… and the only thing we can say is, “why did they wait so long?!?” They have fantastic stories about NXT, Dusty Rhodes, debuting at the Royal Rumble, and how they balance work and married life. You’ll hear how Rusev discovered wrestling in Bulgaria, learned to speak English, and the odd jobs he worked when he final got to America. Lana talks about growing up in Russia, dancing ballet professionally in NYC, and eventually moving Florida to try her hand at pro-wrestling (wait till you hear her WWE audition story)!   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy 25th Wayne’s World, and to celebrate this epic anniversary, director Penelope Spheeris is here to share plenty of behind-the-scenes stories and tidbits about what it took to make this iconic film – from filming the “Bohemian Rhapsody” car scene to Alice Cooper’s cameo to teaching Mike Meyers how to drive to Rob Lowe’s comedic come-out! She’s also got stories about Chris Farley, Donald Trump, and the film’s overseas release! And Penelope is the woman behind “The Decline of Western Civilization 2: The Metal Years,” so you better believe she’s explaining how she got the biggest names in hard rock & metal (Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS, Aerosmith) to take part in her incredible documentary! Party On, Penelope Spheeris!  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The worst f*cking podcast ever returns with even more ridiculous conversation (and songs) about absolutely f*cking nothing! Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Chris Jericho… and rotating fourth, Enzo Amore, tell Steve Austin stories (or maybe not), Wrestling Court stories (or maybe not), worst smelling in the lockerroom stories (or maybe not), and ugliest ring gear stories (or maybe not).  Gordy Cannuck, Reptiley, Hell Yeah Man, and Finkel offer plenty of interruptions (as does the sold-out, live hotel room audience of 2). Grab a handful of f*cking cocktails (might be your only shot of comprehending this disastrous f*cking mess).

Devin Townsend may or may not have possibly gotten Jason Newsted fired from Metallica back in the day. He may or may not have put Jay Leno’s office telephone up his ass backstage at “The Tonight Show!” And he may or may not have taken a dump in Steve Vai’s guitar case. If you want to know what’s true and what’s fan-fiction, you’re gonna have to give this episode a listen! Can tell you this much though – he’s got rock & roll stories like no other, he’s wickedly talented, super funny, and still can’t believe that he shares a Juno Award (the Canadian equivalent to a Grammy) with Chris Jericho.

This Was The XFL is an upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 documentary directed by Charlie Ebersol, son of Dick Ebersol, who along with Vince McMahon founded the short-lived league! But for all the hype & fanfare surrounding the launch, and the spectacular public failure before the first season even ended, the XFL left quite a legacy – mic’ed players, sky cameras, and the ultimate fan experience. And those are some of the stories you’ll hear from Charlie, who was a teenager when his dad and Vince were getting the league going! He’s got great behind-the-scenes stories about some of the crazier XFL stunts like The Scramble! Charlie also spent a lot of time backstage at Saturday Night’s Main Event hanging out with Hulk Hogan!  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
