This podcast is made possible by the generous contributions of our MaxFun Members! It's always a great time to help this show continue for as little as $5 a month. Just go to maximumfun.org/join.The Royal Rumble has come and gone; the first ever edition of the show to be in Saudi Arabia. And once again, it's the clearest sign of WWE placing profit before the fan experience.The audience felt slim, the women were forced to wear their full-coverage jumpsuits and the whole just had a vibe that wasn't befitting a Big 5 PLE.But there were things that we enjoyed: Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan won the titular match; the former sets up an incredibly compelling match for the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk.Plus seeing Gunther retire AJ Styles was something that clearly emotionally affected everyone in attendance and around the world. But we'll explain why we actually think this is really compelling booking.All that and plenty more, but we're left dreading the next time WWE decides to hold another show in Saudi Arabia. The Three CountDanielle put over The Bellas on ImpaulsiveJulian put over Roman's shoes.Hal put over Dominik Mysterio's three dads. Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.This show was produced by Julian Burrell for Maximumfun.org

This episode of OnlyLands is a wide-ranging, uncensored roundtable that blends dark humor, media skepticism, and deep dives into recent Epstein document revelations. The hosts unpack viral claims about Jeffrey Epstein allegedly being photographed inside a “CIA” facility, carefully breaking down how misleading imagery and shorthand labeling fueled mass misinformation. From there, the conversation turns sharply toward disturbing email language found in Epstein communications, including repeated references to “pizza” and “grape soda,” and what those coded phrases may imply when viewed in context. The discussion expands into how long-suppressed narratives are finally breaking into the mainstream, with figures like Bill Maher cautiously acknowledging elements once publicly mocked. The panel debates the psychological toll of the information war, the slow conditioning of the public over nearly a decade, and why institutional credibility is collapsing in real time. Along the way, the hosts weave in commentary on Bitcoin, state power, media manipulation, and why certain truths require years of exposure before the public can confront them. Raw, irreverent, and deeply analytical, this episode captures the uneasy moment when denial gives way to reckoning.

Ask, Tell, Confess is back—and nothing is off-limits. The Coven kick things off riding high from what Bunnie calls the best episode they've ever recorded with Sharon Osbourne.Then the inbox gets wild: a listener opens up about relapsing into a porn addiction, another admits to a prank involving a toenail and a bag of Fritos that absolutely crosses a line, and one confession goes into way more detail than anyone was prepared for. The crew also dives into catfishing stories and reassures a listener worried about being “too horny” that she's completely normal.Raw, awkward, hilarious, and brutally honest—Ask, Tell, Confess at its finest.

There's something about being on a motorcycle that just feels right — in ways that are hard to explain, but easy to recognize. Not long ago on the show, cognitive scientist Mark Changizi, author of Motorcycle Mind, talked about how riding a motorcycle is unlike anything else we do, because the physics involved mean the bike responds directly to your body — your balance, your inputs, your movement — reacting instantly, almost like a hybrid of human and machine moving as one. That connection sharpens focus and pulls you fully into the moment, and according to Changizi, it can change how our brains process space, motion, and risk. Those changes don't necessarily stop when the bike is shut off, and for some people, riding becomes a place to return to — a way forward when other things aren't working, a focus when life is closing in — and that idea sits at the center of today's episode, as Rusty David shares his story.This episode contains a brief reference to suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

What does it take to build a million-subscriber YouTube channel, launch a best-selling book, and then walk away from it all for over a year? Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo, joins Nathan to candidly discuss his journey from full-throttle content creation to a deliberate pause. Noah shares the unexpected internal and external pressures that came with his meteoric rise on YouTube, the strategic decisions that led to viral success, and why, despite achieving his goals, he ultimately stepped back.

What did you think of WWE Raw? Let me know in the comments.WATCH: Jey Uso FRUSTRATION, Roman Reigns Vs CM Punk Confirmed! WWE Raw Review

Today we jump back 15 years to the Jan. 25, 2011 episode of the PWTorch Livecast featuring host PWTorch editor Wade Keller and ProWrestling.net's Jason Powell. They took calls on the Royal Rumble and the previous night's Raw, Shawn Michaels Hall of Fame inductor candidates, and more with live callers.

Welcome to Episode 166 of Wrestling Tonight, a mini episode powered by G FUEL, Dick Lazers, and Code TAVERN. Use code TAVERN to save 20 percent at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Acefield Retro breaks down Roman Reigns officially selecting CM Punk as his WrestleMania 42 opponent, a decision driven by long-standing personal history rather than championships or accolades. On Monday Night Raw, Reigns—fresh off his Royal Rumble victory—made his choice clear. He did not present the match as an opportunity or a legacy play. He stated plainly that he chose Punk because he hated him. That framing immediately shifted the segment from promotion to explanation. This mini episode examines why that moment worked. Punk entered the exchange as the World Heavyweight Champion, positioning Raw as his domain and revisiting familiar critiques of Reigns' schedule and WWE's historical protection of him. Reigns responded by addressing an issue WWE had largely avoided for over a decade: Punk's 2014 podcast comments, which helped shape public perception of Reigns before his singles push fully began. We revisit those remarks, why they mattered at the time, and why WWE acknowledging them now signals a more historically grounded approach to building WrestleMania 42. The episode also touches on Punk's role during The Shield era, the tension between influence and resistance, and how both men have evolved since their first professional overlap. Episode 166 focuses on intent over spectacle—why Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk feels rooted in reality rather than construction, and why WWE's willingness to incorporate real history gives this WrestleMania match added credibility.

Guns in Paradise is a South Korea–set short film that blends fantasy, action, and romance through a metafictional lens. Trapped in routine, a DVD store clerk imagines a violent, passionate love story between two doomed assassins — unaware that the fantasy she's creating might hold the key to rewriting her own life. Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? In my recent projects, I've been deeply hands-on, taking on nearly every imaginable role within the filmmaking process. Over time, I've worn almost every hat—except one: set design. That gap stayed with me. Wanting to push myself further and expand my visual language, I decided to build a set for the first time. This wasn't just about learning a new skill. It was about deepening the knowledge I've accumulated over the years and becoming a more complete filmmaker. While I don't intend to keep doing everything myself forever—I'm very aware that this approach isn't sustainable long-term—I do believe strongly in understanding every department at a fundamental level. That understanding is what allows meaningful collaboration. When I work with seasoned professionals in the future, I want to communicate my vision clearly, elevate their strengths, and create work that feels unified rather than fragmented. That creative momentum was amplified when I acquired a dream camera: the Canon C700 shooting RAW. I've been a Canon user my entire life, and finding an affordable C700 at auction felt like a sign—fuel added to an already growing desire to create something ambitious and uncompromising in quality. At its core, this project is a love letter to cinema itself. It reflects my personal relationship with movies—the inspiration they've given me, the hope they still represent, and the quiet sadness I feel about the current state of the medium. It's both a tribute and a reckoning, born out of admiration, concern, and an enduring need to create. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?This project took two years to make. In general, my short films come together in about two months, featurettes take closer to two years, and full-length features require a minimum of four years. ——- Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Adventure riding has a strange relationship with risk. We prepare, carry tools, research routes, ride with friends, and do everything we can to stack the odds in our favour on adventure motorcycle rides. But every now and then, something appears that wasn't on the map or in the plan, and it shows up faster than we can process it. In those moments, the problem isn't just the obstacle itself, but what happens next. This story takes place on a remote stretch of Nevada's historic Pony Express Trail, a well-known backcountry route for adventure riders—experienced riders, familiar terrain, and a route travelled for generations. It's the kind of ride where preparation feels like it should be enough, until it isn't, and decisions suddenly matter in ways you don't expect when riding far from help.
