Max Barsky, formerly known as pro wrestler David Starr, is a good friend of mine. During the #SpeakingOut movement of 2020, Max's wrestling career came to a screeching halt when some of his past partners spoke out against him. In this 3 part episode, he and I cover everything from 2016 to now[June 2022] and even touch on some of his early teenage relationships. We talk about the work he's done on himself the last 2 years and how he's truly grown as person on his road to recovery from sex and love addiction. Max also speaks very candidly about his struggle with alcohol. Some names mentioned in our talk have been redacted for their privacy and protection. As always, my goal is to show people that there is hope and that your past doesn't have to be your future. Music Credit: "Do You Wanna Touch Me" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Follow Max!

Nancy Becker FKA "Annie Social" is a long time friend of mine from the Pro Wrestling biz. Similar to myself, Annie doesn't sugarcoat anything, which is why we always got along so well. We cover a lot in this episode. We share some hilarious stories about Trent Acid. The influence of Trent and Ruckus seen in wrestling today. Does she plan to return to wrestling? Breaking into the business Then vs Now. Women's wrestling Then vs Now. Who's the biggest creep promoter? How it felt to wrestle naked. How we're both dealing with social anxiety and anxiety in general. Working through injuries to "protect the biz" and MORE! Music Credit: "13" by Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza.

It was 10 years ago today that Danielle was woken up by police in the middle of the night to learn her husband passed away in a car accident. While some friends and fans of the late Justin "JT" Roberts know the details surrounding his death, most have never heard the story told like this. In effort to remind everyone just how fragile life can be, Danielle gives a detailed testimony of that horrible night. Music Credit: "Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum.

This was recorded one year ago when Grant "Danny Havoc" Berkland passed away. At the time, I didn't think it was for everyone to hear and only shared it with the relevant members of the CZW locker room who were badly hurting. It's a bit of a bummer, but I'd like to offer these words now as a means of comfort to those still mourning. If you don't like to hear a 38 year old man cry, don't listen. We all miss and love you Grant. Music Credit: "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran

Had a great time catching up with my old pal Anthony Fermonte. We met some time back in 2010 at a little company called Force1 Pro Wrestling.
