Podcast appearances and mentions of Kurt Angle

Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver open this week's episode with real talk about money, government, and survival. What starts as a look at the SNAP program turns into a full-blown discussion about how the system fails the people it's supposed to help. Between rising prices, broken promises, and the next storm on the horizon, Nash gives his unfiltered take on who's really keeping the lights on in America. The conversation spirals from there, hitting everything from insurance scams to hurricanes in Florida to the political blame game in Washington. Nash doesn't hold back on either side, while Sean tries to make sense of a system where logic rarely wins. It's political frustration told with the timing of two guys who've seen it all, inside the ring and out. Sean keeps the energy moving with stories from his new espionage book and a wild connection to a Medellín cartel pilot. Nash answers with tales from the road that include stolen ambulances, Madison Square Garden parking nightmares, and what life was like when coffee came from Mr. Coffee instead of Starbucks. It's nostalgia and chaos in perfect balance. Then the talk shifts back to wrestling as Kevin reacts to Raquel Rodriguez being called "Big Mami Cool" and reflects on what it means when today's stars borrow from the legends. They also touch on Kurt Angle, the grind of training, and why Nash still treats every gym session like it's game day. His mix of honesty and dry humor cuts through every topic. By the end, they've covered SNAP benefits, the economy, stem cells, AI bubbles, and gym etiquette without missing a beat. It's smart, unpredictable, and funny in the most Nash way possible.

Ryan and Cindy are back for the start of their sixth year, deep into 2000. We start talking about the big reveal of Stone Cold's assailant and get into the big show, ending with Olympic glory. We start talking about the big reveal of Rikishi hitting Stone Cold and how it was either a let-down, or at least out of nowhere.  We talk about the Dudley Boys Tag Team Invitational and how it is an unique way to get a lot of guys on the card. The ending, it seems, of the Chris Jericho/X-Pac feud, with the match taking place inside the confines of a steel cage. We talk about how Eddie Guerrero has gone full heel, taking a shower with the ho's and how he is now adjacent to the RTC due to their hatred of Chyna and her Playboy issue.  The (kind of) in-ring return of Stone Cold Steve Austin as he takes out his frustrations on Rikishi and attempts to kill him, before police intervene. A little levity with Naked Mideon taking on William Regal for the European title.  The saga of the Los Conquistadors winning Tag Team gold…2 nights in a row!?! Kurt Angle capping his first year in the WWF with a World title win. We look at clips of the next few Raws, including Ivory joining the RTC, Edge Christian and Kurt Angle celebrating Edge's birthday and Rikishi confessing that the Rock was the mastermind behind hitting Steve Austin. All this and much more. Enjoy!
