Two Kings Podcast

This week, the Two Kings talk about mental health, family relationships, and doing what you have to do to preserve your spiritual and emotional health and well being, even if that means cutting off contact with a family member. This is a very special episode that may possibly set off some emotional triggers if you have experienced a similar situation. As always, we share our personal stories with you in hopes that if there is anyone out there who is also experiencing toxic family relationships, you are not alone, and you are not obligated to keep those relationships. join in the conversation but dropping us a comment on our Facebook page, our website (twokingspodcast.com), or via email at twokingspodcast@mail.com.

For our first Two Kings Playlist, Brian brings you his personal countdown of the greatest hits of Summer, 1995.

For more than 25 years, Brian has been sitting on a concept for a film, and several years ago had the chance not only to flesh out his ideas to a treatment for a screenplay, write scenes, but also pitch the film to a Hollywood producer. He was warned at the time to never share this idea, for fear it would be stolen. This week, learn the story of the best movie you've never seen, "Bathhouse". --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/two-kings-podcast/support

Adam and Brian ask each other more off-the-wall questions from Chuck Klosterman's "Hypertheticals" card deck.

On the outside, "Aftershock" Adam Ricker had it all. Four-time IWE Triple Crown Champion. Executive Director. But what most people couldn't see was that there was a high price to pay for Adam's lifelong ambition to be a professional wrestler. Racism, homophobia, sexual misconduct, misogyny, and more - Local celebrity is not always glamorous. This week, we take the Two Kings Podcast in a different direction. Recently, there has been a movement in the world of professional wrestling, exposing the people and actions that have gone on for far too long, with he hashtag #SpeakingOut. Several weeks ago, Adam shared a portion of his story on his social media, but our listeners deserve the full story of one local wrestling promotion, and one man's journey through the firestorm. As a performer, and as a a behind-the-scenes part of the company, Adam has a unique opportunity to show both sides of the industry, and we urge you to join us this week for a very special Two Kings Podcast. This week, we are devoting the entire podcast to an in-depth interview with the Artist Formerly Known as "Aftershock" Adam Ricker.

A guilty pleasure can sometimes have a pretty broad definition, but The Two Kings consider it to be something we really, really enjoy that either we shouldn't or isn't popular. We may or may not feel actual guilt, but Adam feels some kind of way after housing that Domino's thin crust with 8x the regular cheese. No amount of "Friends" reruns gonna cure that. And we spend some time with Brian reliving so-awful-it's-a-cinematic-masterpiece disco-themed motion pictures. Turns out, you really *can't* stop the music. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/two-kings-podcast/support

This week, Adam talks about wrestling, and Brian talks about soap operas. So... basically a normal Saturday. There are different segments of the entertainment industry that have a high level of similarity. Two of them are professional wrestling and soap operas. The over-the-top performance and storylines, the larger than life characters, and of course, the drama. That said, there are vast differences. Viki Buchanan would no sooner give a piledriver to Dorian Lord than we would find that Triple H and Chris Jericho are actually twins, separated at birth by Vince McMahon. (Although both of those scenarios would be INCREDIBLY entertaining, I don't care who you are.) Bonus Fun: This week's title is a reference to Brian's favorite all-time WWE tag team, from the Attitude Era - Mick Foley and The Rock, also known as "The Rock & Sock Connection". --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/two-kings-podcast/support

This week, Brian and Adam take a look back at their first experiences discovering sex. from childhood crushes to 'turning in the v-card', we learn what Santa is bringing Adam (if he is a good boy) and what movies Brian thought to be appropriate for sexy time...

*CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING* In today's episode, Adam and Brian discuss personal stories of childhood bullying, stemming from a variety of differences with the "regular" kids. We have both discovered over the years that speaking the truth will set you free. Sensitive topics are discussed, including racism and homophobia.

In this episode, the Bald Beardy Bear and Big Ricker discuss what they were watching on Saturday mornings, at age 7 and age 10. In the 80s, Brian was definitely rocking out to Muppet Babies and eating his ninth bowl of Smurfberry Crunch, but in the 90s, Adam was housing a bowl of Urkel O's when he was in front of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
