John 5: Ghost, Guitar, and Going 50 for 50

Rocky Huynh grew up loving pro wrestling, and that inspired him to start the first and only wrestling promotion in Vietnam – Vietnam Pro Wrestling. Rocky, and VPW English commentator, the Canadian-born Carey Wass, share the incredible and unlikely story of Vietnam Pro Wrestling from their early days wrestling on mats with no ring, to having veteran Japanese wrestler Fugofugo Yumeji come to Saigon to train them to putting on their first show and finally getting a real ring. They talk about the help they’ve received along the way from Pete Dunn (of NXT fame) and Viva Van (who’s appeared on AEW), and what they hope to achieve in the coming year. They also introduce their talented roster, and describe some of their flagship live shows.   STAY CONNECTED: TikTok: @ChrisJericho Instagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy  Twitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJericho YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzy Website: https://www.webisjericho.com/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

New York Times best-selling author and true crime expert, Jillian Lauren, extensively interviewed the most prolific serial killer in American history, Sam Little, and as a result of her effort, aided law enforcement in clearing 63 of Little’s alleged 90-plus murders. She spent a year visiting Little in prison, and built such a rapport with him that he left her all of his worldly possessions along with his brain when he died in 2020. Jillian recounts what led her to contact Sam Little in the first place, how letter writing turned into in-person visits, and what it took to get him to reveal details about his killings. She also talks about what it was like to put the entire, horrific experience into written form in her book, “Behold The Monster: Confronting a Serial Killer,” and the toll the entire process took on her mental health and her family.    Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

John and Jamie from True Crimecast return to discuss the circumstances surrounding the death of actor/comedian Bob Saget of “Full House” fame. America’s dad was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, Florida on January 9, 2022. His death was ruled an accident and attributed to hitting his head in a fall, but due to numerous unanswered questions about his passing, many are not convinced the case is as open and shut as authorities would have the public believe. There was no blood found anywhere in the room, and all of the furniture was padded or soft. There were no eye witnesses and no card key records or video footage indicating someone else entered Bob’s room between the time he checked in and the time his body was discovered. His family also immediately had all of the records around his death permanently sealed. So what exactly happened to Bob Saget? John, Jamie and Jericho dissect the many alternate theories and explanations for his untimely passing.   Thank you for supporting our sponsors!
