Mega Ran in... Random Encounters

Josh Hill, a network engineer in North Little Rock, became famous after taking home $163,721 over a seven-game winning streak in May of 2020 on Jeopardy. He's also a nerd to the core. He's a convention going furry who plays piano and spits bars about his tech exploits. Additionally, he's a great guy. Hear Josh's story and how he made the unthinkable possible. Watch Josh's Jeopardy! episodes on Netflix, streaming right now. 

Mega Ran reflects on the sudden passing of actor Chadwick Boseman and how both his legacy and work ethic continue to inspire.

Austin is currently at home recovering from an injury, but this has given him lots of time to perfect other skills. As a do-it-all kinda guy, and member of a legendary WWE tag team that wasn’t exactly expected to be successful, Austin is used to beating the odds. We get to talk to him about life in quarantine, injury recovery, fighting for your dreams and speaking things into existence.. it’s what he does. He also manages to break stereotypes and continue to show the world that we are so many different things. Shout out to Creed for the great interview.

As a bonus, enjoy Mega Ran’s track “Sunset Flip” with Austin Creed.

Be a little bit better than yesterday. The “Swiss Superman” Cesaro of the WWE and AEW lives by that motto, and along the way finds time to be one of the most physically gifted athletes in the business, yet maintains he love for dad jokes. We exchange a few groan-worthy jokes and then get down to business. Cesaro aka Claudio Castagnoli even manages to ask me a few questions. As a man with one of the most impressive skillsets in wrestling, what else could he possibly want out of life? Find out! We talk music, movies, games, and of course a little wrestling…. and a whole lot more.

In part 2 of our chat, 1/2 of the AEW Tag Team Champions Kenny Omega talks about what growing up in Winnipeg did to inspire his career, how his unorthodox training (or lack thereof) made him better, then we begin a gamer-heavy episode as we learn what great system Kenny has never played, what he’s platinum, so hopefully a mini version is coming soon, his controversial thoughts on Grand Theft Auto. Find out what game’s final boss he spent 5+ hours trying to beat, and why he can’t seem to get a grasp on Tekken. Make sure to catch Mega Ran’s song “Fighters” on AEW’s Fyter Fest this week on TNT!

Current AEW Tag Team Champion Kenny Omega has done it all, yet finds new ways to stay motivated. Find out how he's been living since the quarantine, what he feels about empty-arena shows, pleasing audiences in Japan vs the USA, what he'd be doing if not for wrestling today, training young wrestlers, and why pro wrestling is the most mentally and physically grueling vocation in the world.

In part two of our chat, K-Murdock and Mega Ran pinpoint the songs that made the album the most special to them, including “Dream Master” and “2K10.” We also talk about the song we would add to the album, Whosampled.com's effect on the genre, and reflect on the creation of what many people call a classic a decade later.

Thank you for listening!

Lio Rush has seen the highest highs of Wrestlemania and the lowest of lows in a state of depression, and through it all he maintains a positive outlook. As one of hundreds of WWE personnel released on April 15 dubbed “Black Friday,” Lio has quickly adjusted to life after WWE through music and family. Hear from Lio on his musical output and influences, what life in the WWE meant to him, and if he still maintains that he’ll never wrestle again. It’s a great chat with “The Man Of The Hour.” Get Lio Rush’s new project “Ever After” on streaming services today and follow him at @itsLioRush on all social sites.

WWE Superstar Tyler Breeze holds the distinction of being the only superstar to wrestle the legendary Jyushin Thunder Liger in a WWE ring….and managed to kick him in the nuts during that match. From sledding to school in a small Canadian town to hockey player to wrestling star who’s won championships all over, Breeze keeps himself occupied while staying entertaining. Breeze talks about the response to “Fashion Files,” as well as the strangest difference between NXT and Raw/SmackDown events, favorite video games, his obsession with the supernatural and being the “good cop” while running a wrestling school. Thanks to Tyler for a great chat.
