Struggling With Sozio

Max Barsky, formerly known as pro wrestler David Starr, is a good friend of mine. During the #SpeakingOut movement of 2020, Max's wrestling career came to a screeching halt when some of his past partners spoke out against him. In this 3 part episode, he and I cover everything from 2016 to now[June 2022] and even touch on some of his early teenage relationships. We talk about the work he's done on himself the last 2 years and how he's truly grown as person on his road to recovery from sex and love addiction. Max also speaks very candidly about his struggle with alcohol. Some names mentioned in our talk have been redacted for their privacy and protection. As always, my goal is to show people that there is hope and that your past doesn't have to be your future. Music Credit: "Do You Wanna Touch Me" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Follow Max!

Nancy Becker FKA "Annie Social" is a long time friend of mine from the Pro Wrestling biz. Similar to myself, Annie doesn't sugarcoat anything, which is why we always got along so well. We cover a lot in this episode. We share some hilarious stories about Trent Acid. The influence of Trent and Ruckus seen in wrestling today. Does she plan to return to wrestling? Breaking into the business Then vs Now. Women's wrestling Then vs Now. Who's the biggest creep promoter? How it felt to wrestle naked.

It was 10 years ago today that Danielle was woken up by police in the middle of the night to learn her husband passed away in a car accident. While some friends and fans of the late Justin "JT" Roberts know the details surrounding his death, most have never heard the story told like this. In effort to remind everyone just how fragile life can be, Danielle gives a detailed testimony of that horrible night. Music Credit: "Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum.

This was recorded one year ago when Grant "Danny Havoc" Berkland passed away. At the time, I didn't think it was for everyone to hear and only shared it with the relevant members of the CZW locker room who were badly hurting. It's a bit of a bummer, but I'd like to offer these words now as a means of comfort to those still mourning. If you don't like to hear a 38 year old man cry, don't listen. We all miss and love you Grant. Music Credit: "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran

Mark Whited is a friend I met some years back when I was still in the biz[pro wrestling]. Back then he was writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer and a founder of the "Wrestledelphia" website. We got to know each other a little when he interviewed me for a piece and have since stayed in touch.From 2010 going forward Mark has had a rough go of it to say the least. Imagine finding out the girl you've been dating has been murdered via your Facebook wall. Then being robbed at gun point and nearly stabbed to death five years later. We go on to discuss how he's been struggling with depression and anxiety ever since. As always I try my hardest to give the best bad advice anyone will listen to.You can reach out to Mark on Twitter: @MarkWhited215. Music: "Winds of Change" and "Newsbreak" by Dayseam.

Felt like doing a quick solo-cast about conspiracy theories. I share some of my feelings on the topic and the stigma that comes with being labeled a "conspiracy theorist." How the average person is quick to dismiss the "alternative" narrative because it's not the "mainstream" media. I tend to believe the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Zach Burns is a real asshole. And for that reason we get along GREAT! We met through the Pro Wrestling business and have been friends for nearly ten years. It's been miserable. Zach and I recap the loss his mother, Rose Burns, back in March 2017. He talks about the days leading up to her hospitalization and the grueling 48 hours that followed. Follow Zach! Instagram zburns012.
