Louis Posen of Hopeless Records Pt. 2

This week we are joined by metal royalty as Dave Mustaine sits down to have a chat with Johnny Christ. The two talk about crossing paths over the years and how they came to finally meet in France before Megadeth and Avenged Sevenfold would share the stage at Hellfest. From growing up in Huntington Beach and attending the same high school, the common threads start to show in this conversation. They cover the life of playing shows around the world and the preparation as well as some extra curricular activities. Join the laughs and stories as these friends learn a little more about one another. Cheers!

This week Johnny has the pleasure of catching up with WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page, and that’s not a bad thing, that’s a good thing! 💎 The two old friends start off the conversation about how they met at the Fuse Fangoria Chainsaw Awards show in LA back in 2006, and how they lost touch for a bit before re-connecting at The Icon Sting’s last match back in March. Johnny and DDP talk about some of their mutual friends, and one in particular that helped their paths cross again - Darby Allin - who introduced Johnny to Dallas’ workout program and health guide DDPY. DDP shares with us some upcoming plans for the company involving a new retreat and a podcast/show idea. Dallas shares some fun stories about his days wrestling including how he got into the industry from managing night clubs and bars in Florida, and what the late great Dusty Rhodes and the Rhodes Family means to him. We hear how close DDP remains with Cody Rhodes to this day and he shares some fond memories of watching the boy become a man become THE Man. With some hot takes on today’s wrestling along the way, we move into the world of acting covering guys like The Rock, John Cena, and of course the man of the hour, the Diamond One. We hear a behind the scenes alternate ending idea to the wrestling movie classic “Ready To Rumble” and what that set was like having actors and wrestlers mingling about in the late 90’s. We could tell you about every part of this conversation here, but that would take too long so do yourself a favor and just go check this one out. Cheers!

Let’s welcome back to the show our old friend from Fame on Fire, Bryan Kuznitz! This week join Sam, Johnny, and Bryan as they catch up on everything Fame on Fire have been up to since the last time Bryan stopped by, and get to know each other a little better. As some of you may recall, the last time Bryan was on the show the band was just releasing their first full length album of originals and since then things have changed for the guys. The conversation has a bit of a mentoring vibe as Johnny asks about the touring life and seeing new places for the first time. The two share stories about their first experiences in Japan and the cultural shock & education they feel they’ve gotten from a life on the road. With some laughs and fun stories along the way, these three give a look into the life of a fresh budding artist compared to that of an old grizzled vet and highlight the common ground in this whole thing called music and entertainment. So pour yourself a glass of whatever makes you happy and enjoy!
