Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver are back with another wild ride on “Kliq This,” and this week kicks off with Kevin sharing some outrageous stories sparked by a visit from his longtime friend Adam. Though Adam's not actually on the show, his stay at Kevin's house brings up memories of how they once bonded while filming “Magic Mike,” including a near-brawl over coffee and a close-knit camaraderie forged by dancing in their underwear on set. Kevin also reveals how their grand scheme to buy a minor-league baseball team nearly came to fruition and why they never stopped talking about the Savannah Bananas. The wrestling world still looms large as they dig into the phenomenon of the Sheik impression popping up in every locker room. Kevin offers sharp insight on how classic terms like “Jabroni” managed to infiltrate the modern wrestling lexicon, and Sean can't help but crack up whenever they recall Iron Sheik's legendary banter. They also toss around some thoughts on what makes certain wrestling figures outlast their own eras, from Gorilla Monsoon's “gorilla position” to Andre's famous stickers found around the globe. Midway through, the conversation veers into side-splitting territory when Kevin describes a certain “towel joke” that's both cringe-worthy and laugh-out-loud hilarious. It's the kind of humor you expect when he and Sean get going, made even funnier by the lingering influence of Adam's visit and all the freewheeling banter that comes with old friends reuniting. Their chemistry only gets sharper as Kevin drops a few more stories about his latest run-ins and some unfiltered advice you might not want to follow in public. If you're looking for a mix of wrestling nostalgia, Hollywood antics, ridiculous side stories, and genuine friendship, you've come to the right place. Kevin and Sean manage to balance it all while reminding fans why “Kliq This” is unlike any other podcast out there. No matter how crazy the discussion gets, these two always bring it back to the laughs—and this episode is no exception.
