Talk Is Jericho

mammoth II drops Friday (August 4th), and Wolfgang Van Halen has plenty of stories about the making of his second, full length album! He talks songwriting, recording, and solos, and discusses how playing live influenced the making of this album. He talks about what it’s been like opening for Metallica and how that all came together, what he learned touring with Van Halen and playing alongside his famous father, and his strategy for putting together those Van Halen setlists. He shares why drums were the first instrument he learned to play, and the best advice he got from his dad. Plus, he reveals which Edward Van Halen guitar solo is his favorite.

Can’t think of a better guest for TIJ 1000 than the great Marc Maron – talented comedian, actor, and one of podcasting’s original stars! He started his pod before anyone really knew what podcasting was, including Marc! And since that day, he’s welcomed some pretty impressive guests like President Barack Obama and Sir Paul McCartney! He’s sharing those stories as well as talking about his comedy start, his friendship with the late, great Sam Kinison, his trip to see AEW Dynamite, and what it was like immersing himself in the world of Netflix’s GLOW as director Sam Sylvia.

Howie Mandel is the A-list guest celebrating 1000 episode of TIJ this week! The stand-up comic, “Deal or No Deal” host, AI proponent, and judge of “America’s Got Talent” shares some pretty incredible stories from his days guesting on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He made 22 appearances with Johnny and details his first-ever spot to the last stint that resulted in his ban from the popular late night talk show. Howie discusses the role that both Joan Rivers and The Comedy Store’s Mitzi Shore played in his career, why he left the country when “Deal or No Deal” premiered on NBC, and what he hopes artificial intelligence will do for his legacy after he’s gone.

Rocky Huynh grew up loving pro wrestling, and that inspired him to start the first and only wrestling promotion in Vietnam – Vietnam Pro Wrestling. Rocky, and VPW English commentator, the Canadian-born Carey Wass, share the incredible and unlikely story of Vietnam Pro Wrestling from their early days wrestling on mats with no ring, to having veteran Japanese wrestler Fugofugo Yumeji come to Saigon to train them to putting on their first show and finally getting a real ring. They talk about the help they’ve received along the way from Pete Dunn (of NXT fame) and Viva Van (who’s appeared on AEW), and what they hope to achieve in the coming year. They also introduce their talented roster, and describe some of their flagship live shows.

New York Times best-selling author and true crime expert, Jillian Lauren, extensively interviewed the most prolific serial killer in American history, Sam Little, and as a result of her effort, aided law enforcement in clearing 63 of Little’s alleged 90-plus murders. She spent a year visiting Little in prison, and built such a rapport with him that he left her all of his worldly possessions along with his brain when he died in 2020. Jillian recounts what led her to contact Sam Little in the first place, how letter writing turned into in-person visits, and what it took to get him to reveal details about his killings. She also talks about what it was like to put the entire, horrific experience into written form in her book, “Behold The Monster: Confronting a Serial Killer,” and the toll the entire process took on her mental health and her family.

John and Jamie from True Crimecast return to discuss the circumstances surrounding the death of actor/comedian Bob Saget of “Full House” fame. America’s dad was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, Florida on January 9, 2022. His death was ruled an accident and attributed to hitting his head in a fall, but due to numerous unanswered questions about his passing, many are not convinced the case is as open and shut as authorities would have the public believe. There was no blood found anywhere in the room, and all of the furniture was padded or soft. There were no eye witnesses and no card key records or video footage indicating someone else entered Bob’s room between the time he checked in and the time his body was discovered. His family also immediately had all of the records around his death permanently sealed. So what exactly happened to Bob Saget? John, Jamie and Jericho dissect the many alternate theories and explanations for his untimely passing.

The Gambler Jeff Gann of WCW fame is very much alive and well despite the erroneous reports of his death last month! Jeff sets the record straight about the false story. He and Chris Jericho also watch the 5-minute match (and Jericho’s second ever at WCW) that resulted in Chris getting signed. Chris explains the circumstances surrounding that match, and why it was “make it or break it” for him at that point in his career. They also talk about The Gambler’s 9-year tenure at WCW from how he got signed to why he left in 1999 and never looked back.  Jeff remembers working with Kevin Nash, Rick Rude, and Dustin Rhodes. He talks about what he learned from his idol and mentor, Ole Anderson, the feedback he got from Arn Anderson that he carried through his career, and how he ended up being among the first to train a young Paul Wight aka Big Show!

Tim Chizmar is a nudist versus a naturist, and explains the difference between the two, and then clarifies how “artists” fit into the picture. He talks about the unlikely television series that inspired him to become a nudist, how he started participating in nude events like bike rides and marathons, and why there is nothing sexual about it. He discusses the unspoken rules of the nudist scene, the major faux paus to avoid, nudist etiquette, and the one taboo word in the community. Tim shares stories from his nude stand up comedy tour, the infamous Bay To Breakers run in San Francisco, the many naked bike rides that take place all over the States, and his nude comedy film, The Nudels of Nudeland (streaming on Troma). He talks about the positive impact that nudists have on body acceptance and positivity, and what’s attracting the younger generation to the scene. Plus, he details the celebrities who support the nudist scene.
