Talk Is Jericho

It’s metal, it’s mayhem, and it’s... mayonnaise? Charlie Benante of Anthrax and Z2 Comics mastermind Josh Bernstein dish on Drumming Up An Appetite, the brand-new cookbook from the late, great Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul. From backstage breakfasts and "1, 2, BBQ" war cries to raiding the Abbott family archives for down-and-dirty recipes (spoiler: there’s nothing green in those salads), this is a full-course tribute to Vinnie’s love of food, fun, and feeding the party. Plus, tales of tour madness, Guy Fieri connections, cherry bomb mushrooms, and the time Vinnie made Jericho PB&Js like a rock n' roll mom. Grab your Black Tooth Grin and dig in.

Born into a chaotic, hellraising and deeply tight-knit family, Saraya learned to never back down from a challenge. She’s a rule breaker and drawn to people with the same mentality. In “Rulebreakers,” her DGAF attitude takes center stage while also exploring vulnerability and transparency with listeners. Every week, Saraya and a guest will explore their unconventional paths to success. Inspired by the honesty of “Dumb Blonde,” the unapologetic nature of “Cancelled,” and the humor and undeniable charm of “Chicken Shop Date,” Saraya is ready to ask the hard questions and talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of her guests’ lives.

Documentary director Alex Braverman unravels the beautiful madness of Andy Kaufman in his

new film, Thank You Very Much. He reveals how he tracked down hidden gems from Kaufman’s inner circle, got Danny DeVito to spill hilarious stories, and uncovered the Iranian roommate who inspired one of Andy’s most iconic characters. He talks unearthing the never-before-seen 70s footage from Andy’s longtime collaborator and close friend Bob Zmuda’s vault, including the legendary Tony Clifton meltdowns (like his infamous Taxi firing), and addresses the rumors that Andy faked his own death. He also shares some of the stories and interviews that were left on the cutting floor like the time Andy Kaufman hid out in a Las Vegas hotel just to meet his idol. Elvis Presley, and the words of wisdom that Elvis passed onto his biggest fan. Alex shares stories about Andy Kaufman and his dad, Andy’s funeral and why no one really attended, and how then SNL Executive Producer Dick Ebersol got regular guest Andy Kaufman thrown off the show!

Jeremy Padawer, Chief Brand Officer at Jazwares (the company behind the AEW action figures), avid toy and card collector, and TIJ alum, returns under very different circumstances. Jeremy and his family lost everything in the devastating LA firestorm this past January. Their Pacific Palisades home, and nearly all of Jeremy’s multimillion-dollar collectibles collection, was destroyed – rare baseball cards, Pokémon cards, action figures, comics, and even a first-edition

Harry Potter book.  Not even “fire proof safes” or a commercial bank vault could withstand the flames. Thankfully, Jeremy and his family made it out safely, and insurance covered most of the financial losses. And now Jeremy’s focused on something bigger – helping his Palisades neighbors and community rebuild. He talks about advocating for changes at the government level and fighting to ensure residents can keep their lots and actually rebuild their homes. He even launched a resource website to help – PacificPalisades.com. If you or someone you know has been impacted by the LA fires, this episode, and Jeremy’s mission, might offer some much-needed support and hope.
