Sean Oliver's Kayfabe Podcast

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 trained in it. Ernie and his partner prepared a department for tackling the most unpredictable of calls by focusing intently on the driving factor in policing--humanity. Plus, racist rasslin and Sean answers your questions...on this edition of Kayfabe: Stories You're Not Supposed to Hear.

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 business in the 80s. Also, Ron plays a game of "What a Dick" and who better to judge. Plus...no one's reading, everyone's just watching TV, Sean's movie and TV residuals read on air, and more.

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 turning him into a walrus.

Well get ready to have our myths and misconceptions laid bare by retired agent Jerri Williams, now an accomplished author of fiction and non-fiction.

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 patient sifting for grays in his pubes. The Howard Stern Show was always filled with idiosyncratic personalities, warring with each other, goofing on each other, and Grillo has the inside track on the show's Golden Years. Sean is a maniacal fan of Classic Stern (the non-douchebag years) so he and Steve chop it up Old School about the show that changed radio forever, here on another episode of the podcast that has done nothing. Plus, singers serenading us during the virus sequestering and your questions for Sean. Check it!

Host of the very popular podcasts Crime in Sports, Small Town Crime, and some other one his wife made him do with her, comedian Jimmy Pietragallo joins Sean for fun discussion. Once the two hosts get done lathering each other's asses with compliments, they jump into exploring the back alleys of the comedy road, as well as the frontierland of the podcast world. Pietragallo is also a lifelong wrestling fan so naturally Buck Zumhoff's statutory rape and incest background needed to be discussed. As always, the discussion goes to places you won't expect and covers a wide range of topics. Plus, it's the end of the world as we know it, and Sean feels fine...in another edition of Sean Oliver's Kayfabe!

Bill Alfonso has worked all over the world as a pro wrestling referee. Fonzie was in the ring for so many memorable matches it's hard to keep track of them. But he gained real fame working with Sabu, Taz, and RVD in ECW. He joins Sean to talk about working as a ref back then and now, and also all things ECW. Plus, the Oscars and the Shooties!

In the middle of Sean musing about how stupid we are for watching the Super Bowl, extreme legend Sabu phones in to catch up. He and Sean talk about his new book and recount some of the hilarious stories in it. Sean keeps it short as Sabu seems to need a new cell carrier. Suggestions?

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 iron it all out, with you guys in the room. Plus, Sean on what it takes to write a bestseller and your questions!

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. Brian was a legitimate amateur who made it in the worked world of wrestling, so it would stand to reason that Blair has also successfully crossed over into the equally unpredictable world of politics. Brian is as passionate about his classic bouts with Orndorff as he is about Mexicans bringing dope across the border. Also, Vampiro gets a little fired up with Sean on Twitter, and the correct pronunciation of Guidice. Leading the podcast world in hot topics like the Iron Sheik work and a New Jersey Housewife's name...it's Sean Oliver's Kayfabe Podcast!

In keeping with allowing KISS to creep into seemingly every podcast episode, Sean has gone out and landed Michael Brandvold. Michael's show, "Three Sides of the Coin," is the premiere KISS podcast which can be found on YouTube and all podcast platforms. The series can boast hundreds of episodes and guests, having introduced hours and hours of KISS stories and collectors' memorabilia. Michael is also an old school AWA fan, having grown up in Verne Gagne's backyard of Minnesota. Additionally, Michael runs a music business marketing company and he and Sean mix it up about the podcast industry, entrepreneurship, and...yeah...KISS MANIA!

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. From there the Monkey ends up at the den of iniquity that was Coconut Grove's Mutiny Club working for the real life Scarfaces that inspired the film. (Need a refresher? Here's our interview with Hotel Scarface author Roben Farzad: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-009-hotel-scarface-author-roben-farzad/id1479489504?i=1000455957411) Join Sean and Ricardo Morales as they take you inside a not-your-average family for a wild first-hand account.

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. Sean must've lost a bet somewhere having Simms on the show, but he's here nonetheless, talking about what it takes to be wrestling's Super Agent. Eric discusses that, as well as the long time working relationship with his most famous client, The Iron Sheik.  Sean heads down memory lane with Eric as they talk about Ring Roasts and the resulting PR tour with Sheiky. Simms's job is a thankless one, and you'll hear just how grueling his schedule can be. Plus, equality for women and why Sean should induct Dave Bautista into the WWE Hall of Fame!
