Episode 027 - Crime and Comedy with James Pietragallo

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.

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!
