Talk Is Jericho

It’s true crime, mystery, and the paranormal all rolled up into one historic location – Alcatraz! Alcatraz Island is a small island a little over one mile off the coast of San Francisco. It’s home to the infamous Alcatraz federal prison which housed the worst of the worst criminals for 29 years before it was shut down in 1963. Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and Robert Stroud, The Bird Man of Alcatraz, were among its famous inmates. It’s the also the inspiration for the 1979 Clint Eastwood movie, “Escape From Alcatraz” which was based on the true story about 3 inmates who allegedly successfully escaped from the prison. San Francisco native, researcher, psychic and paranormal investigator Jeff Dwyer, and ABC News 7 Bay Area journalist and producer, Casey Pratt share the history of the prison and some of its inmates, recount the real-life details of the famous escape story, and more importantly, delve into the paranormal experiences and ghostly sightings that have plagued the island almost since its discovery.   Thank you for supporting our sponsors! eBay Motors: get the right parts, the right fit, and the right prices. https://ebaymotors.com Metro By T-Mobile: Switch and get unlimited 5G starting at $25 a month per line for 4 lines, and a FREE 5G phone.

Rudy Sarzo (of Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, & Dio fame), Raven’s John and Mark Gallagher, and bassist PJ Farley (of Trixter & Fozzy fame) bring the sex, drugs and rock & roll to the Evolution of 80s Heavy Metal! The stories from the studio and the stage are almost unbelievable and include the immensely talented Randy Rhoads, a very young Metallica, the mythical KISS, and the behemoth 1983 US Festival! There are tales about the origin of Quiet Riot and the writing of the “Metal Health” album, what caused Raven to be dropped from the massive Judas Priest Turbo Tour, the truth about Randy Rhoads planning to quit Ozzy’s band, and why three "heys" from Paul Stanley was more than enough acknowledgement for PJ Harvey and Trixter. The guys talk gold records, bad record deals, the MTV influence, Winnebago tours, and the grunge cloud that all but killed heavy metal as soon as it burst onto the scene.   Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

MLW Underground debuted on Reelz, and CEO, founder and promoter, Court Bauer, returns to talk about his promotion’s new TV deal and how it all came together.

And Court shares more stories from his time on the creative team at WWE. He gives a behind-the-scenes look at the big Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio feud that involved Rey Mysterio’s then 8-year-old son Dominik, and some of the ideas that Eddie brought to the table.

Court talks Taboo Tuesday, Cyber Monday, and discusses what he learned working alongside Dusty Rhodes, Bruce Prichard, Paul Heyman, and Vince McMahon. Plus, he talks about MLW’s luck in signing generational talent like Hammerstone and Jacob Fatu, and why he’s so excited for everyone to see the up and coming Microman.   Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

There’s a secret society called the Bohemian Club that holds a two-week exclusive event every year at Bohemian Grove in the Redwoods just north of San Francisco. Tim Chizmar (of The Game fame) returns to discuss this invitation-only, elite club that offers membership exclusively to rich and powerful men (most of whom are white). Famous actors, musicians, artists, business men and politicians are among the members who dress like druids and worship a 40-foot giant Owl god voiced by Walter Cronkite. Alex Jones infiltrated Bohemian Grove in 2000 and filmed one of their rituals, the Creation of Care. Journalist Phillip Weiss from Spy Magazine also snuck into Bohemian Grove in 1989, and wrote an in-depth piece on their activities and location. And Tim Chizmar has three first-hand accounts about Bohemian Grove from former employees. But the real question to ask is, is Bohemian Grove just a summer camp for powerful, rich men or is there something else more sinister and nefarious going on among the trees and in the elaborate tunnels rumored to run beneath the forest?   Thank you for supporting our sponsors!
