This week, Nikita Breznikov and Benny "The Playa" Scala take a deep dive into the epic life and legacy of Pierre Clermont, better known to the wrestling world as Pat Patterson — one of the most influential minds in the business!
Before revolutionizing the WWF in 1979, Patterson dominated the territories as a flamboyant, tough-as-nails heel — especially on the West Coast and in San Francisco’s legendary Cow Palace. Under the guidance of The Grand Wizard, he perfected his craft as a top-tier antagonist, engaging in bloody rivalries that left fans in awe for over two decades.
But it was in the WWF where Patterson etched his name in granite — from his unforgettable steel cage war with Bob Backlund, to becoming the first-ever Intercontinental Champion, and eventually moving behind the curtain to help shape the Attitude Era and beyond as Vince McMahon’s most trusted right-hand man.
Also: hear the real story of Patterson’s transition to color commentator, his often-overlooked comedic brilliance on-screen, and why his influence is still felt in every Royal Rumble to this day.
💥 Don’t miss this tribute to a true architect of professional wrestling greatness.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
