Wrestling Omakase is back already after going 9 and a half hours for our two part Wrestle Kingdom Week preview, but thankfully this time we kept it under 3.5 hours. Yes, somehow! John and returning guest Arametha are just a few days away from leaving from Japan and somehow manage to keep the off topic/trip chatter to a minimum (well, at the start at least- later on there's a Gundam tangent among other things), and that's a good thing because they have a whole bunch of final wrestling shows to talk about leading up to all the upcoming big ones! They open up with (what else?) STARDOM with a trio of shows: the special 12/18 PPV from Shin Kiba featuring the "first and last" Natsu & Saori vs. Team 200KG match, 12/21 from Osaka in front of another super hot crowd, and finally the 12/24 Korakuen. They discuss a very long title reign coming to an end, how John is feeling about Saori Anou's red belt chances in the final days before Dream Queendom, and a whole lot more!Then it's over to NJPW to discuss the Road to Tokyo Dome shows: first, the continued road to Hiroshi Tanahashi's retirement as he took on Hiromu Takahashi and El Desperado, then the full 12/22 Korakuen featuring his main event with Kosei Fujita, a baffling TV Title match, a lot of angles of varying quality heading into Wrestle Kingdom, and much more! DDT is next up with their own last Korakuen of the year on 12/21, as they break down an excellent KO-D title match, ass paint, and more, then discuss the upcoming D-Generations tournament.In NOAH, they review the 12/23 Korakuen featuring an excellent tag match from the juniors and a bunch of other stuff that also existed. Finally, they wrap things up with some Dragongate talk as they review their 12/16 Korakuen, and Arametha gives some interesting thoughts in particular as a longtime puro fan who never really watched DG before this year. Another fun show, and up next we'll be coming live from Japan!Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Peso Pluma's world has been busy in ways that say a lot about where his career and image are heading. In Los Angeles, LAist reports that fans recently packed YouTube Theater for two sold out nights, a reminder that his corridos tumbados crossover moment is not a phase but an entrenched chapter in U.S. pop culture. Those shows spawned a cascade of fan photos and outfit posts across Instagram and TikTok, with regional Mexican and Latino outlets amplifying clips of him onstage and fans outside the venue, reinforcing his status as a generational touchstone rather than a niche act.On the lighter pop culture side, LAist also covered a Peso Pluma lookalike contest at Echo Park Lake, where dozens turned up in his trademark haircut and streetwear. That story, while playful, underlines something biographically important: he is now an instantly recognizable visual brand, not just a voice on the charts. When your silhouette becomes a contest theme, you have entered the iconography tier.Businesswise, long‑tail coverage of his touring continues to revolve around earlier cancellations tied to security concerns. Outlets such as AOL and other U.S. local media have kept alive the narrative of his decision to cancel shows in Tijuana and several U.S. cities after cartel death threats, treating it as a serious intersection of music, fame, and Mexican security politics. Those are past events, but they keep resurfacing in new explainers and backgrounders, shaping how editors frame him: a star whose rise is shadowed by real‑world risk, not just tabloid drama.On social media, influencer‑tracking platforms like Favikon now routinely cite him as a top‑tier engagement driver in Mexico, and his name appears in analyses of how regional Mexican stars like Luis R Conriquez leverage collaborations and online presence. These are not splashy headlines, but they carry long‑term weight, positioning Peso Pluma as a central node in the digital economy of Latin music.There are scattered gossip‑style posts and fan accounts speculating about new collaborations and relationships, but as of the last few days, no major outlet has verified any new romance or scandal. Those rumors remain unconfirmed and, for now, are just background noise around a star whose real story is still being written onstage and online.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Several of the classic hit song's she sings backup on: Sam Cooke's ~ "Chain Gang", Bobby "Boris" Pickett ~ "The Monster Mash" "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" ~ The Righteous Brothers "Walking In The Rain" ~ The Ronettes The Beach Boys ~ "In My Room" "Poor Side of Town" ~ Johnny Rivers "Rock and Roll Lullaby" ~ B.J.

Darlene Love was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeoning girl group called The Blossoms, who began recording for Phil Specter. Soon thereafter, other artists like Sam Cooke were attracted to her powerful sound, and sought Darlene on their recordings. With The Blossoms and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, Darlene sang lead vocals on some of the greatest music hits of the 60's. The Blossoms landed a weekly spot on the landmark television series SHINDIG & Elvis's 1968 Comeback Special and through the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and back-up such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher.

His upcoming album, Celestun, set for release on January 15, marks a continuation of his work with longtime collaborator Tyler Ramsey, formerly of Band of Horses.  In this landmark year, My Morning Jacket released both a new album, “IS,” and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the album “Z” in a year-long celebration of spectacular live performances.Carl talked to me about how he sees the current state of the band, and he discusses with me exactly how he goes about continuing to feel refreshed and energized in this ever-changing musical landscape. Carl shares with me many of his “life hacks,” as we discuss the importance of being in the moment, and the unstoppable force of incremental growth in pushing forward towards one's life goals, whatever they may be.=======================================Episode Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg04:05 Reflecting on a Year of Music and Growth06:59 The Spiritual Connection in Music09:59 The Creative Process Behind 'Is' and 'Z'12:49 The Live Performance Experience15:47 Navigating the Challenges of Touring18:49 The Influence of Family and Background21:54 The Journey of Self-Discovery in Music24:45 The Importance of Incremental Growth27:31 Finding Balance in a Chaotic World30:43 The Joy of Collaboration and Connection33:33 Exploring New Horizons in Music and Life54:25 Resonating with the Crowd58:09 The Power of Community and Incremental Growth59:21 Navigating Stardom and Popularity01:04:17 The Challenges of Modern Music Promotion01:04:30 Maintaining Humility in Success01:10:04 The Emotional Connection to Music01:13:08 The Journey of Finding Your Place in Music01:20:39 Exploring the Dynamics of Band Relationships01:22:38 The Solo Experience and Personal Growth01:25:21 Stripping Down to Basics in Music01:31:04 Reflections on Spirituality and Music01:18:33 The Solo Experience and Personal Growth01:21:16 Stripping Down to Basics in Music01:26:59 Reflections on Spirituality and Music01:38:34 Episode Outro with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For Carl Broemel and Tyler Ramsey tour dates, click hereWe discussed the book Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman: Click hereFor more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Patti LaBelle: The Untold Story of the Godmother of Soul

A Breath of Fresh Air

Born Patricia Louise Holte in 1944 in Southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the woman we know as Patti LaBelle was raised in a large family as the second-youngest of five children. Her father worked on the railroad and performed in clubs, while her mother was a domestic worker. From a young age, Patti found solace and purpose in music — she joined her church choir at age 10 and by 12 was singing solo. Her early life wasn't easy. The marriage of her parents was troubled, and after her parents separated when she was 12, she experienced deep personal trauma. Yet despite hardship, she held onto music — both for comfort and as an outlet — listening to jazz, R&B and gospel as she grew up.In her mid-teens Patti began dreaming of making music beyond the church. By 1960, she formed a girl group called The Ordettes with friends at school. The next year members changed and the group evolved into Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles — soon to become simply Labelle in the '70s. The Bluebelles enjoyed moderate success: in '62 they scored a Top-20 hit. Later, they found acclaim covering classics like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” In the '70s Labelle's sound evolved. The group embraced funk, soul, and rock — culminating in the '74 smash hit Lady Marmalade. The song and its style cemented their place in music history.But amidst growing fame, internal tensions and changing musical landscapes led to the group's split in '77. That difficult moment became the launchpad for Patti's solo journey. Patti's debut solo album, simply titled Patti LaBelle, came out in '77. Her true breakthrough came mid-'80s. A string of hits turned Patti into a household name. 1986's album Winner in You — featuring the duet On My Own with Michael McDonald — topped U.S. charts and solidified her commercial success.In the '90s Patti continued to release albums. She earned a second and sold tens of millions of records worldwide.Patti's talents reach far beyond singing. Over the decades she's dabbled in acting and is also a successful author. Her 1996 memoir Don't Block the Blessings: Revelations of a Lifetime gives insight into her hardships, faith and perseverance. She later penned cookbooks, launched a food brand with frozen comfort foods, and her signature sweet-potato pies.Today Patti LaBelle shows no signs of slowing down. In 2024, she marked her 80th birthday by announcing a brand new album titled 8065 — a tribute to her 80 years alive and 65 years in show business. She's also hit the road with the “8065 Celebration Tour,” which will take her to audiences around the world — including stops planned for Australia and New Zealand early in 2026.At 81, Patti remains a powerhouse performer. Her message to fans? Age is just a number — and she's proof. Reflecting on her decades-long career, she recently said she feels blessed to still be “standing” — able to sing, walk, and create. Her fans, across generations, couldn't agree more.From “The Ordettes” to Stardom, this episode details the rise and rise of the legend we knowas Patti Labelle.Catch her on tour here:Jan 16 Rancho Mirage, CA, United StatesJan 17 Thunder Valley Casino Resort Lincoln, CA, Jan 20 Riverside Theatre Perth, AustraliaJan 22 Palais Theatre St Kilda, Jan 24 Adelaide Entertainment Centre Jan 25 Sydney Event Centre Jan 28 The Star Gold Coast Jan 30 The Civic Auckland, New ZealandFeb 12 Jacksonville, FL, Feb 13 Charlotte, NC, United StatesFeb 15 St Louis, MOFeb 19 New OrleansFeb 20 Houston, TXFeb 22 Fort Worth, TXMar 14 Westbury South, NY

Transcript:Da: Vejen snoede sig gennem det danske vinterlandskab, dækket af et hvidt tæppe af sne.En: The road wound through the Danish winter landscape, covered with a white blanket of snow.Da: Axel sad ved siden af Freja i bilen, og skovene omkring dem så ud til at strække sig uendeligt.En: Axel sat next to Freja in the car, and the forests around them seemed to stretch endlessly.Da: Luften var frisk og fyldt med duften af grantræer.En: The air was fresh and filled with the scent of pine trees.Da: Det var juleferie, og hvert hus, de passerede, var pyntet med lys og dekorationer.En: It was Christmas vacation, and every house they passed was decorated with lights and decorations.Da: Axel var nervøs.En: Axel was nervous.Da: Skolens musikalske konkurrence nærmede sig, og hans hænder rystede ved tanken.En: The school's musical competition was approaching, and his hands trembled at the thought.Da: Han var en talentfuld pianist, men scenefrygt havde altid været hans største modstander.En: He was a talented pianist, but stage fright had always been his biggest adversary.Da: Freja, hans bedste ven, sad ved rattet.En: Freja, his best friend, was behind the wheel.Da: Hun vidste, hvad denne konkurrence betød for ham.En: She knew what this competition meant to him.Da: "Vi er der snart," sagde Freja med et opmuntrende smil.En: "We're almost there," said Freja with an encouraging smile.Da: De var på vej til en lille, hyggelig hytte, hvor Axel kunne øve uden forstyrrelser.En: They were on their way to a small, cozy cabin where Axel could practice undisturbed.Da: "Dette vil hjælpe dig med at finde din ro, Axel."En: "This will help you find your calm, Axel."Da: Axel nikkede og kiggede ud af vinduet.En: Axel nodded and looked out the window.Da: Han spekulerede på, hvordan han kunne klare sig mod Lars, klassens konkurrent, der altid stræbte efter at være den bedste.En: He wondered how he could measure up against Lars, the class rival who always strove to be the best.Da: Men i Frejas tilstedeværelse følte Axel sig en smule modigere.En: But in Freja's presence, Axel felt a bit braver.Da: Da de nåede hytten, blev de mødt af en smuk udsigt.En: When they reached the cabin, they were met with a beautiful view.Da: Sneen lå tungt på de høje træer, og alt var stille og fredfyldt.En: The snow lay heavily on the tall trees, and everything was quiet and peaceful.Da: Freja tændte op i pejsen, og snart fyldte en hyggelig varme rummet.En: Freja lit the fireplace, and soon a cozy warmth filled the room.Da: Axel satte sig ved klaveret, der stod i det lille hjørne.En: Axel sat down at the piano in the little corner.Da: Han spillede forsigtigt, og tonerne fyldte hytten.En: He played cautiously, and the notes filled the cabin.Da: Dagene gik, og Axel fortsatte med at øve.En: Days passed, and Axel continued to practice.Da: Freja sad ofte ved siden af ham, tilbød råd eller lyttede bare.En: Freja often sat beside him, offering advice or just listening.Da: Hendes støtte fik Axel til at føle sig bedre tilpas.En: Her support made Axel feel more comfortable.Da: Han besluttede sig for at spille et nyt stykke, noget mere udfordrende som han havde arbejdet på i hemmelighed.En: He decided to play a new piece, something more challenging that he had been working on in secret.Da: Den store dag kom, og Axel stod bag scenen.En: The big day arrived, and Axel stood behind the stage.Da: Han kunne høre publikums summen og mærkede nervøsiteten stige.En: He could hear the murmur of the audience and felt the nervousness rising.Da: Lars havde allerede optrådt og vundet stort bifald.En: Lars had already performed and received great applause.Da: Axel tog en dyb indånding.En: Axel took a deep breath.Da: Han kunne vælge det sikre stykke eller risikere alt med det nye.En: He could choose the safe piece or risk everything with the new one.Da: Da det blev hans tur, gik Axel frem til klaveret.En: When it was his turn, Axel stepped up to the piano.Da: Han så ud over publikum og fangede Frejas smilende ansigt.En: He looked out over the audience and caught Freja's smiling face.Da: Det gav ham styrken.En: It gave him strength.Da: Han valgte det nye stykke.En: He chose the new piece.Da: Musikken flød ud, og hver tone blev spillet med en selvtillid, han aldrig før havde følt.En: The music flowed out, and every note was played with a confidence he had never felt before.Da: Han lod sig selv opsluge af rytmen og melodien.En: He let himself get absorbed in the rhythm and melody.Da: Ved slutningen af stykket var der et øjebliks stilhed, før publikum brød ud i et stort bifald.En: At the end of the piece, there was a moment of silence before the audience erupted in a huge applause.Da: Dommerne annoncerede resultatet: Axel og Lars delte førstepladsen.En: The judges announced the result: Axel and Lars shared first place.Da: Axel kunne næsten ikke tro det.En: Axel could hardly believe it.Da: Hans hjerte svulmede af stolthed.En: His heart swelled with pride.Da: Senere stod han med Freja ved sin side.En: Later, he stood with Freja by his side.Da: Sneen faldt blidt omkring dem.En: The snow fell gently around them.Da: "Du klarede det, Axel!"En: "You did it, Axel!"Da: sagde Freja begejstret.En: Freja said excitedly.Da: Axel nikkede og smilede.En: Axel nodded and smiled.Da: Han havde lært, at det at skubbe

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to Rolling Stone and Billboard the past few days have capped a pivotal stretch for Post Malone as he continues his pivot from hip hop hybrid star to full scale country mainstay while still playing global pop headliner. Multiple outlets report he has been riding sustained momentum from his country crossover hits including I Had Some Help with Morgan Wallen and Pour Me A Drink with Blake Shelton as year end charts and Grammy chatter keep his name circulating in industry columns and trade press. Entertainment Tonight and People magazine note that his recent live sets have leaned harder into this new country persona with stripped back arrangements and cowboy aesthetics while still delivering staples like Circles and Sunflower to keep mainstream pop audiences locked in. On the business and branding side Variety and The Hollywood Reporter describe him as increasingly strategic aligning appearances with major festival style events and premium sponsorships and emphasizing a cleaned up image after earlier years dominated by tattoos and party heavy narratives. Recent commentary from The New York Times music desk frames this as a deliberate repositioning toward long term Nashville credibility rather than short viral cycles. According to social media tracking summarized in USA Today his name has trended repeatedly on X formerly Twitter and TikTok as fan clips from recent shows circulate highlighting his more relaxed sober seeming stage presence and affectionate moments with fans including signing cowboy hats and pausing mid set to talk about gratitude and fatherhood. Gossip focused outlets like TMZ and DeuxMoi have floated unverified whispers about new collaborations and possible engagement rumors but none of these claims are confirmed by his representatives or by major newsrooms and should be treated as speculation only. The most contentious headline of the week comes from regional Indian press including The Assam Tribune which reports that police in Guwahati say they have received no formal complaint so far after a UK travel vlogger alleged on Instagram that she and a friend were touched without consent in the crowd at his recent concert there. Authorities told the paper they attempted to reach the women via social media and stressed that any investigation can only proceed if a complaint is filed while also insisting that womens safety remains a priority at such large events.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

A forthcoming article by our guests today – appropriately titled “Rethinking Stardom" - argues that: Star performers are increasingly capturing the attention of both researchers and practitioners alike. However, studies on these uber-performers often employ disparate definitions, theoretical foundations and assumptions, and methods and analyses, which creates significant tension and confusion in the comparison of findings and the formation of a clear understanding of what star performance truly entails and its impact on individuals, teams, and organizations. To better explore the concept of star performers in organisations I am delighted to be joined by the two authors of this paper: Professor Ernest O'Boyle, Dale Coleman Chair of Management and Professor at Indiana University - Kelley School of Business, and Martin Gotz, Senior Teaching and Research Assistant in the Department of Psychology at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.The article discussed in the interview is available here: O'Boyle, E.

Bewitched By Classic TV & Finding Joy After Child Stardom with Erin Murphy

We welcome actress Erin Murphy, who spent her first eight years of life charming TV watchers as young Tabitha Stephens on Bewitched. Erin takes us behind the scenes at one of television's most beloved classics, sharing vivid memories from a childhood spent witnessing the creation of Hollywood magic.Erin and her fraternal twin sister Diane were originally cast together to share the role of Tabitha, following child labor laws which severely limit the number of hours a toddler can spend working. But, as Erin reveals with a laugh, in the 1960s, rules were “suggestions.” Erin was the twin who took to the craft of acting and she was often brought right back to the set while producers pretended to swap her out. Soon, Erin became the show's singular Tabitha.Erin recalls the delight of working with fantastical props, whimsical effects, and a cast she adored. A natural performer, she memorized not only her own lines but everyone else's, and she truly cherishes her time on the set. Erin and Diane were treated with kindness and respect and were even given Donna Reed's former dressing room where the amenities of home gave them space for play and nap time. Erin's success on Bewitched soon led to appearances on other iconic shows, including Lassie.Erin is coming with “two Darrins” insights. She worked with Dick York and Dick Sargent for three years each and she  shares a touching story about reconnecting with the original Darrin, Dick York, years later through the Kevin and Bean morning radio show. She weighs in on whether Bewitched can be read as a metaphor for being different or even being closeted and she opines on why the show still resonates today as a fun, campy, nostalgic, yet surprisingly modern-feeling classic.Erin also recalls the many rising stars who made early Bewitched appearances and she shares thoughts on why she never truly  connected with Paul Lynde. She reflects on a groundbreaking episode, written by high-school students, that confronted racism. The story involves Tabitha and her best friend Lisa who is black. When told by an adult that they  could never be sisters, Tabitha uses witchcraft to turn them both polka dotted. Erin identifies this as Elizabeth Montgomery's favorite episode.After her early TV career, Erin enjoyed a normal childhood in Orange County before returning to the entertainment world as a host and reality-show participant in projects like Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Wrestling and RuPaul's Drag U. She went on to raise six children, including a son with autism, and has devoted herself to community service and volunteerism. Erin even launched her own alpaca farm, and turned it into a thriving business selling knit goods! This TV icon is as endearing as she is inspiring and Erin's Hollywood and beyond journey is a testament to her grace, charm and character.In current media --Weezy: One Shot With Ed Sheeran on NetflixFritz: The American Revolution from Ken BurnsPath Points of Interest:Erin Murphy on FacebookErin Murphy on InstagramErin Murphy on WikipediaErin Murphy on IMDBOne Shot With Ed Sheeran on NetflixThe American Revolution - PBS

Whoa, what a shock! There's like 30 minutes of it I think if you'd like to fast forward to the actual wrestling- there's your damn timestamp for ya. Then they discuss the last four nights of the Goddesses of STARDOM Tag League- nights 10 (11/26), 11 (11/28), 12 (11/29) & the finals (11/30). They break down all the remaining tournament matches, discuss who the best & worst teams in the field ended up being, talk about the rather heartwarming little story they ran with Bozilla & Akira Kurogane, break down Saori Anou's recent losing streak and what it may (or may not) mean for the Dream Queendom main event, discuss the return of Maika, and finally of course talk about the crowning of Sakurara as this year's champions!Up next they discuss DDT's 11/30 Korakuen show, which featured Super Sasadango Machine in the main event title challenger position, a great match with Konosuke Takeshita & Shinya Aoki, The Greatest Weapon In Wrestling History, problem gambling, and a whole lot more! They also look ahead to what's coming next across not just DDT but also Tokyo Joshi and Ganbare as well. Finally, they wrap things up with Sendai Girls' 11/22 show from Fukuoka, which just so happened to be Mika Iwata's 10th Anniversary Show! They discuss another unfortunate performance from YUNA, FWC finally appearing as themselves instead of fake Mexicans, Mika celebrating her tenth anniversary by NOT having to job for once (!!!), some definitely real sexual tension with her and a certain wrestler, and a whole lot more!Here's the link to the newest Social Suplex newsletter that Snazzy plugged on the air: https://www.socialsuplex.com/frontpage-11/Joshi-ing around podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5vEhF921sFtprCxTsWhqt6?si=d1da6785766042cdFollow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome back to Bringin' It Backwards, the podcast where legendary and rising artists share their stories before the stardom. In this episode, Adam Lisicky sits down with Elliot—better known as M.A.G.S.—to talk about reinvention, collaboration, and finding new creative life in familiar songs. A couple years after his album Destroyer made waves, M.A.G.S. returns to discuss his latest project, Creator—a reimagined record featuring ambient, genre-crossing versions of the original tracks. For the first time, he opened up his process to collaborators and crafted the entire album in just nine days, with each song emerging from a blend of spontaneous inspiration and experimentation in Chicago. Adam and M.A.G.S. dig into the impact of growing up in a musical family, the challenges of band life, and the transformation that comes with letting go of creative control. The conversation is packed with insights on collaboration, personal growth, and the delicate balance between career and passion. Plus, M.A.G.S. shares personal advice for aspiring artists and the excitement about opening for indie legends American Football.

This week on Wrestling Omakase the double John connection is back at it again, as John is once again joined by John Bivins! First, some complaints about a much too tiny anime convention John just went to, plus John B. also went to a renaissance faire (can you believe both these people have girlfriends??) where he ran into a Randy Savage impersonator, for some reason. Hear all about it! Once the assorted wackiness is out of the way the two of them start off with a pair of Korakuen shows from joshi promotions: first, Sendai Girls' 11/16 show that just so happens to have been Chihiro Hashimoto's 10th anniversary event. They discuss a Chihiro vs. Sareee match that's getting MOTYC buzz, Mika Iwata making an extremely appropriate tribute, the finals of the Jaja Uma tournament for young wrestlers and more!The second Korakuen show comes to us from Dream Star Fighting Marigold, as they talk about a match that both of them really loved, some stuff they were more meh on, another very strange Rossy booking decision and where things look to be going heading into their 1/3 PPV show from Ota Ward.Next, they head back to STARDOM for four more nights of the Goddesses tag league, two of which were quite good and two of which, well, weren't really. Plus: the We Hate STARDOM crew is at it again with maybe their dumbest complaint yet (and that's REALLY saying something), and the standings look to be taking shape, for better or worse.And for the sake of diversity they finally talk some men's wrestling, as they break down NOAH's 11/15 show from Osaka that featured two second round matches in their junior tournament, a very strange GHC Tag #1 contenders match, and a preview tag for next week's Mr. Smack Daddy vs. The Dang Joker showdown.

Once that unfortunate topic is out of the way, they break down NOAH's 11/8 Korakuen show which featured two title changes, one welcome and one not-so-welcome.

He was born Jason DeFord in Nashville, Tennessee. By the time he was a teenager, he was in and out of jail, surrounded by addiction, violence, and survival. He thought his life would end the same way it began: in chaos. But somewhere inside those walls, he started writing lyrics and dreaming about music. Today, the world knows him as Jelly Roll, one of the most unlikely success stories in country music. He has gone from a decade behind bars to the top of the Billboard charts, winning CMA Awards and earning Grammy nominations along the way. His songs are raw, confessional, and painfully honest. They are about addiction, faith, shame, forgiveness, and the long, slow road to redemption. In this deeply moving conversation with Kate Langbroek, recorded backstage at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney minutes before he hit the stage, Jelly Roll went deep about how he turned his pain into purpose. He shares the stories of the people who saved him, including his wife, Bunnie XO, and his children. He opens up about his years in prison, his mother’s struggles, his faith, and the moment he learned that forgiveness starts with yourself. It is the story of a man who refused to give up on himself, even when the world had. A boy who became a better man, a husband, a father, and one of the most honest voices in country music today.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we talk a trio of big shows from big companies! But first, John REALLY doesn't want to talk about what just happened to the Toronto Blue Jays, but for some reason returning guest Arametha insisted, so there's that. Also there's a little bit of talk about everyone's favorite subject, AMERICAN POLITICS! Yeah! And some other stuff too, who even knows at this point. Probably the Japan trip I'm guessing.The first real topic of the show though is STARDOM (as usual), as they talk about the Crimson Nightmare show that took place on Monday 11/3 from Ota Ward Gym. John & Arametha do things a little backward here as they first discuss what's coming up in STARDOM next, mainly with the two Saya Kamitani title matches announced for Dream Queendom and Wrestle Kingdom. John gives their case for why Saya might actually lose to Saori Anou, despite what current conventional wisdom would seem to have you believe. Then they get into a full review of the show featuring a very controversial Saya vs. Momo Watanabe main event, the end of Starlight Kid's epic white belt reign, yet another High Speed title defense for Mei Seira and more. Finally, they wrap up the STARDOM portion with a look ahead to the upcoming Goddesses of STARDOM Tag League that kicks off in just a couple days, giving some early picks for who might make it out of each block and even win the entire thing.Next up they head over to New Japan and again do things kind of backwards, first looking ahead to the upcoming World Tag League and giving the thoughts on the (kind of hilarious!) field of competitors. Then they review the top matches from the Hiroshi Tanahashi Homecoming show on 11/2 from Gifu, discussing the finals of the world's most pointless tournament that apparently made everyone except John really mad, Tanahashi having one more great match against Yota Tsuji in his hometown, how we somehow STILL don't know who Tana's retirement opponent will be, and a Takeshita main event that John almost skipped right over.The last but certainly not least slot goes to DDT for their annual Ultimate Party show, also from 11/3 at Ryogoku. John & Arametha break down the entire ten match card in detail, discussing some truly funny comedy, a lot of fun matches, and the good vibes around this promotion right now in general. They also speculate a little on what might be coming next with the tease of Takeshita vs. Takechi, and look ahead to some future cards in general.

From College Engagement to Radio Stardom: Ronald Reagan's Ascent to the Hollywood B-List. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan's father, Jack, secured a job as an administrator of welfare for the New Deal in late 1933. Meanwhile, Ronald developed into a successful young football star at Eureka College, where his steady girlfriend was Margaret Cleaver, known as Mugs. They were deeply in love and engaged to be married, but after graduation they separated, and Margaret, following a trip to Europe, fell in love with an American diplomat and returned the engagement ring to a crushed Reagan. Margaret's father, the Reverend Cleaver, was highly influential, acting almost as a surrogate father to Dutch Reagan. Dutch Reagan possessed a magnificent, compelling voice for storytelling and, graduating from college in 1932, recognized that while movie studios were absent from the Midwest, radio stations were plentiful. He landed his first radio job in Davenport, Iowa, and quickly succeeded, transferring to a larger station in Des Moines, where he became a very successful sportscaster known throughout the Midwest as Dutch Reagan, the voice of the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox. In Hollywood, Reagan was recognized as a heroic figure with a consistently sunny disposition and initially started in B-pictures at Warner Brothers. Reagan's movie career generated good income, and he demonstrated responsibility by moving his parents out to Hollywood. He met actress Jane Wyman at the Warner Brothers commissary, and they were married in January 1940.
