Nick kicks things off with pro-wrestling insider Dr. Keith Lipinski from AAW Pro, diving into everything from WWE's controversial Saudi Arabia deal to what might truly be Goldberg's final match. There's also plenty to say about John Cena's surprise heel antics, and a deeper look at AEW's packed schedule—including the buzzworthy "Mexico Grand Slam," already being called one of 2025's standout shows. Swerve Strickland, Toni Storm, and MJF all get their due in a smart, rapid-fire rundown of what's hot in the ring. After the wrestling chat, Nick and Esmeralda Leon catch up on their summers—spoiler: there's sun, stories, and probably a complaint or two. They take on a few listener questions before swerving into stranger territory: Hollywood's most eccentric stars. From Joaquin Phoenix's head-scratching interviews to Shia LaBeouf's unpredictability, it's a gallery of oddball fame. [EP 362]

We are continuing my Pride Month Feature on the show with first time guest Stephanie Williams, who also happens to live in my now home state of North Carolina. RAISE UP! I never pass up a chance to get in a Petey Pablo reference. I'm excited to finally get a chance to pick Stephanie's brain about some of the influences behind her smash comic hit Nubia and the Amazons and how writing in Themyscira is a unique pocket to be able to explore queer narratives at DC. It was recently announced that she will be returning there with Warriors And A Wee Wonder launching in July on DC GO! Also covered in the episode is some fantastic conversation about her book Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse: A Visual Encyclopedia including a dream opportunity to meet the Peacemaker himself, John Cena, and her fantasy project of developing Justice League Antarctica. Hey, the book includes King Shark so you know I want to talk about it. Stephanie's website Stephanie's newsletter As mentioned in the show, check out the Bitches On Comics podcast. Warriors And A Wee Wonder From the publisher In Warriors and a Wee Wonder by writer Stephanie Williams (Nubia & the Amazons) with art by Jane Pica, Emily Pearson, and Dominic Bustamante, what happens when an island of powerful, immortal Amazons is tasked with…raising a baby?! In this charming slice-of-life comedy, fierce warriors find themselves tactically outmaneuvered by a tiny princess (a.k.a. the future Wonder Woman, Diana) whose emerging magical abilities cause delightful chaos. With meddling Olympian gods watching from above and little Diana causing havoc below, the Amazons devise their greatest battle strategy yet: the Wee Wonder Warriors rotation system. Because on Themyscira, it truly takes an island to raise a child! Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse: A Visual Encyclopedia From the publisher Move over Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman—Peacemaker is now on the scene and he's bringing along more than 100 of the most colorful characters from all corners of the DC multiverse in this officially licensed book. Peacemaker had a long road to the spotlight and he's not alone. There are dozens of unique, sometimes absurd, and yet truly memorable characters waiting for their chance to shine. Strange and Unsung All-Stars of the DC Multiverse celebrates some of the quirkiest, most compelling, and ready-for-primetime characters from throughout DC's history. With peculiar powers—from Matter-Eater Lad to Arm-Fall-Off Boy—and one-of-a-kind costumes—from Red Tornado with her red long johns and a cooking pot for a helmet to Blue Snowman with her wintry robotic armor—these characters are truly unforgettable.

John Cena vs CM Punk for the Undisputed Championship and the crowning of the new King and Queen of the Ring Tournament.  

The lights dim. The murmuring crowd nibbles subpar soft pretzels anxiously. The Sounds Like a Cult theme music begins to blare at ear-splitting volumes, pyrotechnics nearly blinding an old lady caught in the front of the mob as a spandex-clad (think Barbie meets Barbarella) Reese Oliver steps into the ring to tackle her biggest opponent yet: The Cult of the WWE. *DINGDINGDING* This time, Reese is flying solo— no tag team parter— but the glitzy world of WWE is too flashy, mythical, and impressively immersive to knock out alone. Joining her is James Bryant (of the YouTube investigative commentary duo Fundie Fridays) to help demystify: the sacred chants, fak- *ahem* scripted storylines, and secret right wing ties lying beneath the sequins that characterize this cult. If you've never watched wrestling, the inherent culty nature of WWE might not occur to you at first glance, but we invite you to ponder…Why are toddlers and senior citizens alike crying about John Cena in 2025? Is wrestling fandom culture ripe with toxic masculinity, or a healthy expressive outlet for unironic passion? Why does WWE's storytelling feel less like sports *yawn* and more like a shared religious experience? Is Vince McMahon's empire the ultimate cult of spectacle, or just capitalism in a sparkly Lucha mask? And wtf is his wife doing in the white house? Tag someone who smells what The Rock is cooking—this one's a steel chair straight to the dome.

Lydale, who just won the Defiant Pro Wrestling Championship this past weekend, joins Windy City Slam Podcast for the first time to discuss how a family friend pushed her toward Tommy Else, who in turn prepared her for the rigors of the Freelance Wrestling Academy, her upcoming Freelance World Championship match against Devon Monroe, winning the Freelance Rumble, her previous title match against Storm Grayson, what era of wrestling drew her into the business, working for Defiant Pro, Ego Pro Wrestling and POWW Entertainment among other local companies and more. Plus, we recap Chicago Style Wrestling and preview John Cena vs. CM Punk at WWE Night of Champions, Freelance vs. The World XI, AAW Pro, NWA Chicago, ZOWA Live and GALLI Lucha Libre.
