In this special episode of The Ned and Josh Podcast, we’re joined by Bryan Danielson, one of the most respected figures in professional wrestling, who’s in Australia ahead of AEW Grand Slam in Sydney (Feb 14) and AEW House Rules in Brisbane (Feb 15).

We talk through some of the biggest moments in his career, including his emotional All In match with Swerve Strickland at Wembley Stadium, the pressures of wrestling live in front of massive crowds and how his mindset has changed since returning from forced retirement.

Bryan opens up about the surprising impact of Total Divas, why the “Planet’s Champion” was really just him turned up to 11 and how he felt wrestling Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35 with his daughter in the crowd. He shares why WrestleMania 30 is hard to revisit, what it’s like handing over the spotlight and how he was approaching each match like it could be his last.

There are also reflections on AEW vs WWE, the rise of Australian talent like Toni Storm and Buddy Matthews, the grind of independent wrestling and why Bryan doesn’t keep social media on his phone. Plus, head shaving debates with his wife, vegan guilt, climate change promos and the real reason he once thought he was going to die mid-match.

If you knew him as Daniel Bryan in WWE, you’ll recognise the passion, but this is Bryan Danielson in 2025, thoughtful, honest and full of perspective. We couldn’t be more grateful for the time.

Whether you're a lifelong wrestling fan, new to AEW, or just love a wide-ranging chat with someone who’s lived a truly unique life, this one’s worth the listen.

Ahead of his appearance at GAMMA Canberra this weekend, we catch up with Australian actor, stuntman and voice artist Neil Fanning. He’s the guy behind Scooby-Doo in the live-action movies, and honestly, a huge part of so many of our childhoods.

Neil takes us through his wild career, from being one of the first performers at Warner Bros Movie World and starring in the Police Academy Stunt Show, to scoring the gig as the voice of Scooby-Doo. He worked alongside legends like Matthew Lillard, Sarah Michelle Gellar and James Gunn, and he’s got some seriously great behind-the-scenes stories from the Gold Coast set.

We get into the voice-off that landed him the role, the moment Scooby went Aussie and how he ended up voicing literally every ghost in the movie. Plus, there’s some exciting news about the upcoming Netflix live-action Scooby-Doo series.

If you’re into animation, theme parks or just want to hear from a bloke who helped bring one of the most beloved characters of all time to life, this one’s for you.
