On today's special two-part episode Leslie chats with Josie Riesman, author of the New York Times Best Seller Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America about the apparent downfall of Vince McMahon. Ringmaster was one of my favorite books of last year and you don’t have to know or care about wrestling to enjoy our conversation.

After that, in a special bonus for wrestling fans, Bryan Quinby stops by once again to talk some of the recent happenings in AEW including the CM Punk and Jungle Boy footage.

On today’s episode I had a great conversation with returning champion Jesse Hawken. We discuss the recent stumbles and possible downfall of Disney’s MCU. We talk about the box office failure of The Marvels, the production hell of Mahershala Ali's Blade, and the Zionist superhero that may be holding up the next Captain America. All that plus a brief update with Jesse on The Beatles and their final single "Now and Then."
