Derek is joined by pro wrestling superstar and motivational speaker, Marc Mero (aka Johnny B. Badd).
Marc discusses his life after wrestling, doing motivational work through his non-profit organization, Champion of Choices. He tours schools around the country and shares his incredible life story with young impressionable students in search of hope and inspiration. Marc's journey is sure to bring tears to your eyes, and enlighten your own journey through trials and tribulations.
As a mental health advocate, Derek and Marc talk about the importance of communication, family, support, self-worth, and much more. Of course, we couldn't have the "wildman" formerly known as Johnny B. Badd without discussing his time in the wrestling business. Marc talks about:
- His divorce from ex-wife Rena Mero (Sable) and her relationship with Brock Lesnar - The time X-Pac (Sean Waltman) shit in her bag - His short run as WWE Intercontinental champion - The backstage altercation with Butch Reed on his first night in WCW - Vince McMahon pitching the "Wildman" gimmick - Dusty Rhodes pitching the Johnny B. Badd gimmick and being a mentor - Would Johnny B. Badd be considered "black-face" in 2021 - Dealing cocaine and being raided by the cops in the 80s - and much more.

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.
