Talk Is Jericho

Say his name and he appears! So we did, and now Joe Hendry makes his TIJ debut! He shares the story (and pitch to Jimmy Jacobs) behind his initial vignettes and gimmick, and explains how a short-lived telesales job, a few words from Eric Young, and a lesson in songwriting from Queen solidified his act. He talks about the text exchange with TNA that changed his life, how a couple of very well-placed billboards outside the Hydro in Glasgow may have led to his recent NXT appearance, and why being forced to sit home for 2 years during the pandemic ultimately saved his wrestling career. Joe has tales about wrestling Kurt Angle, cutting promos with Shawn Michaels, having a hit song on the charts thanks to Matt Cardona, how he’s come to main event the TNA Slammiversary PPV with Moose, and why he is convinced that he will find himself in the ring with John Cena next year.

Dani Mo recently set the world record for the highest elevation women’s pro wrestling match after journeying to Nepal to wrestle on Kala Patthar in the Mt Everest region. Dani wrestled Nepal’s first-ever women’s professional wrestler, Baghawait Unika at 5,600 meters in a homemade wrestling ring carried up the mountain on a helicopter! That’s roughly 18,300 feet or 3.4 miles ABOVE sea level! It’s higher than Mt. Everest base camp which is why they chose that location. Dani details the entire story from her initial invitation from Unika to her 22-hour journey to Kathmandu, Nepal to her harrowing flights in and out of the world’s most dangerous airport in the mountain town of Lukla! She explains what it was like to wrestle on uneven, rocky ground with very little oxygen, how she overcame the language barrier with her opponent, and the unbelievable reason why she had to overdub her promo once she got back to the States.

Happy Canada Day, eh? And there’s no better way to celebrate than with a Winnipeggers reunion with a bonus Clifford! watchalong! We’re not talking about the big red dog though! We’re talking about the 10-year-old boy played by fellow Canadian legend, Martin Short! It’s a movie beloved by everyone from David Letterman to Nicholas Cage to… the Winnipeggers (at least one of them, but you’ll have to listen to find out which one). And of course, in true TIJ watchalong and Winnipeggers style, there’s plenty of casting and acting discussion, behind-the-scenes stories from the set, completely useless trivia, and a plethora (good word, eh?) of tangential (another good word, eh?) anecdotes and references like perms, Fargo, bow ties, birthdays, cameo, post-pimple days, milk, mullets, and first-times. And… take a drink for every obscure reference (but please don’t drive, eh?)!

Anthony Michael Hall has starred in some seriously iconic movies starting with a very memorable turn as Rusty Griswold in the comedy classic, Vacation! He talks about working with and learning from Chevy Chase, John Candy, and Beverly D’Angelo. He explains how that Vacation experience led directly to his incredible working relationship and friendship with the late, great writer/director, John Hughes with whom he did Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. Anthony shares some great stories from those movie sets, all that John Hughes did for him personally, and what happened that caused the rift in their relationship. He also remembers the single season he spent on Saturday Night Live with Robert Downey, Jr. (with whom he remains great friends), and Damon Wayans! He discusses his favorite sketches and reveals why he thinks it’s the worst season in the show’s history.
