Psychic medium John Edward and retired FBI Special Agent Robert Hilland share some of the incredible true-crime stories behind their new book, Chasing Evil!

Dave LaGreca Presides Over The Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7 Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

Busted Open’s Dave LaGreca joins to celebrate the launch of SiriusXM’s first-ever 24/7 Pro Wrestling channel! He explains how it all came together after 16 years, the fight to convince SiriusXM execs that wrestling fans deserved their own channel, and what fans can expect from the daily lineup that features everyone from Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer, and Mark Henry to Thunder Rosa and Nick Nemeth. Dave also shares the origins of Busted Open, how it grew from a one-hour-a-week show to a national movement, and the role Chris Jericho played in helping it gain early credibility. Dave remembers some of his wildest and most surreal moments from over the years – puking in front of Henry Winkler, karaoke’ing at Nita Strauss’ wedding in front of Alice Cooper, and a prank call from The Undertaker pretending to be Tommy Rich! Plus, Dave talks about his infamous feud with The Rock that birthed the “Cody Crybaby” movement, his favorite guests (Ric Flair, Alice Cooper, Zach Wylde), and why respect has always been at the core of Busted Open.

Helloween Presents: Giants & Monsters and Michael Kiske Aug 27, 2025

Show notes

Helloween’s Michael Kiske returns to talk about the band’s brand-new album, Giants and Monsters! He explains how Helloween’s three-singer setup with Andi Deris and Kai Hansen works in the studio and on stage, and what it’s like splitting lead vocals on songs. He shares how the band picks who sings what, what happens when one of them gets sick, and how the producers played a surprising role in shaping the new album. Michael also discusses his favorite tracks from Giants and Monsters, why he avoids watching Helloween videos or even listening back to finished albums, and how that keeps his performances fresh. He recalls his early years with the band, why he left at just 24, how the Pumpkins United reunion finally came together, and what’s kept the current lineup happy and productive nearly eight years later. Plus, Michael reveals his lifelong love of Elvis, how the King influenced his own stage presence, and his all-time favorite Elvis track.

Jimmy & Stiggs and Joe Begos Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

Horror filmmaker Joe Begos went full grindhouse with his latest batshit crazy movie, Jimmy & Stiggs, hitting 1,500 theaters this Friday, August 15th & presented by Eli Roth! Joe reveals how he shot the entire alien gorefest inside his own apartment on 16mm film for under $200k, pulled off insane practical effects with chainsaws, alien puppets, and a POV camera strapped to his own head, and somehow kept his neighbors from complaining during four years of screaming, smashing glass, and spraying neon blood at all hours. He’s also got the wild story of how he first met Eli Roth (it involves two film festivals, a cliff, and a broken back), how Eli ended up presenting the film, and why Terrifier paved the way for its massive release. Plus, Joe talks metal soundtracks, old-school gray aliens, and what it’s like to literally live on the set of your own horror movie for years.

RIP Champagne Gerry Morrow – The Best Wrestler You’ve Never Heard Of Aug 13, 2025

Show notes

Gerry Morrow was one of the all-time great territory wrestlers, a master heel, a world traveler, and one of the toughest (and funniest) guys to ever step in the ring! He was also a mentor and great friend to Jericho, Lance Storm, AEW’s Don Callis, and Paul Lazenby. Hear about Gerry’s legendary giant-hand slaps (and the poor referee who took six in a row), his love for bumping and selling backdrops, and the time he sang Prince’s “Scandalous” at the top of his lungs during a 3am road trip. Don remembers touring South Africa with Gerry, and how his toughness made dangerous situations feel safe. Lance talks about wrestling in Beirut with Gerry, learning to call matches despite Gerry’s thick accent, and one specific crazy “steel can” spot! Paul shares the story of Gerry boxing his ears in his very first tag match, and how Gerry later pulled him aside with calm, constructive advice instead of ripping him a new one. They also cover Gerry’s days in Japan, his Stampede Wrestling legacy, why Vince McMahon & WWF never called him, and the immense respect Gerry earned from Bret Hart and every peer who ever worked with him. Plus, ribs, road stories, and lots of locker room laughs!

They share stories about Hogan’s incredible rise in the ‘80s, the Vince McMahon expansion era, his game-changing jump to WCW, and the infamous heel turn that created the nWo. They break down Starrcade ‘97, Hogan’s massive contract and creative control, and how he helped WCW explode – and then later implode. Chris shares personal memories from backstage beers and house shows to Hogan’s surprising praise after a Goldberg segment. They also discuss Hogan’s legacy, controversies, and why, despite it all, Hulk remains one of the most iconic figures in wrestling history.

Ozzy Osbourne left a massive mark on metal, and in this special tribute to the Prince Of Darkness, former Ozzy bassist Phil Soussan, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello, Warrant frontman Robert Mason (who also doubled Ozzy’s vocals live on the Ozzmosis Tour while hidden behind a tent onstage), and Metal Blade founder Brian Slagel share their favorite Ozzy stories and memories. Phil and Robert detail epic Ozzy tour stories and backstage ribs (like stink bombs, water cannons, and “old fart” birthday cards), and Frank talks about opening for Ozzy on tour and playing at Back To The Beginning. They all discuss the powerful influence of Shot In The Dark and Diary Of A Madman, Ozzy’s unmatched (and underrated) voice, his devotion to fans, the role Sharon Osbourne played in his success and survival, and the legacy he leaves behind.
