Today, the media landscape is flooded with cries for police reform. We are bombarded with images of the problem, and far too little of the solution. Today's guest, Officer Ernie Stevens, is a big part of the solution. The HBO documentary "Ernie & Joe" profiles Stevens and his partner and their special detail in San Antonio.

Such a large number of police calls involve a party with a mental illness, yet so few of the respondents are ...

You'll get a taste of that in this week's episode.

Join Sean and Vito as they cover the underground w...

The face (and then some) of the adult film industry has transcended that industry into mainstream entertainment. Ron Jeremy has become truly enigmatic, now one of the most recognizable in multiple segments of offbeat entertainment. Who better for Sean to spend some time with, talking the adult industry, Ron's unlikely popularity in a business predicated on looks, Boogie Nights, the disparate salaries of men and women in that busine...

WCW enhancement talent Randy Hogan positioned himself well as the lookalike to wrestling's biggest star, and WCW was happy to show him laying down every week! Randy was trained in the traditional way though, and planned to come up the ranks like every other young wrestler with a dream. Who would've imagined he'd be enshrined in fans' minds as the Hulkster that got beat every week!

That and Sean's sedentary lifestyle in Florida is t...

Howard Stern fans know he is one of the most private, secretive enigma's in entertainment. Who would know the inside dish on him better than his former intern Steve Grillo--better known as Gorilla, baked potato prep man extraordinaire. We're not kidding...this guy had Howard's second book dedicated to him solely for his ability to prepare Howard's frigging potato. Sean delves into this with the depth and precision of a mental patie...

This week, Sean and New Jack, just two geezers sittin' on the back porch, talk old times. They cover ECW, its talent, and why it was the perfect storm. Since then, the wrestling product hasn't been the same and Jack isn't shy about discussing the reasons.

This podcast is getting crowded! Sean plays host to Vampiro and whatever supernatural forces he chooses to bring in. The wrestler was a guest on YouShoot several years ago and his tales of encounters with the dark side have left fans speculating for years.

Recently, Vamp took issue with Sean's appearance on a podcast from Ireland in which Vampiro's claims of afterlife contact were disputed. Well, this is Vamp's and Sean's chance to...

It was the smack heard 'round the world--the Iron Sheik's open hand haymaker, landed at the conclusion of Ring Roasts I. Though Sean has exposed the altercations as a work, what was very real was that shot! If you were there, your ears confirmed that. Now, for the first time since the event, Sean and Brian get together to talk about it as well as Brian's background.

Obviously all of our dads were communist exile mercenaries, CIA trained killers, and muscle for Miami's cocaine kingpins. But here's yet another child of one of those.

Monkey Morales rose to both fame and infamy when he escaped Cuba after working there as a member of the secret police and went to work for the CIA, eradicating those they wanted eliminated. His assignments of bombings and shootings would take him around the globe. Fr...

Who better for Sean to sit with and dissect Martin Scorsese's new mafia tour de force than RVD himself. Hear them review the new Netflix film and drop their copious mob knowledge in general, from the New York families to the midwest heavies in Kansas City.

Who cares what his clients say about him--Eric Simms is the most recognizable name in his line of work.
