Like a long lost friend returning, it’s good to see WRA back for 2011. Can’t wait to see what Chris & Matt through of Axe Cop.
Wow. JMS is already off Superman? That’s … unsurprising.
I told you this, too, would pass.
My question got read!! My name mispronounced!! More wrestling talk!! Axe Cop!! Matt’s assessment of “CM Punks” made my morning!! Excellent interview with Roberson!! Best episode of the 11!!
“kuh-rah-tee-kah”
Great interview, great episode!
I third the Yacht Rock love. But I think Matt means “Valerie” by Steve Winwood for those looking for the song. “Call on me” is part of the chorus. Also, “Ride like the Wind” is the Christopher Cross/Michael McDonald song. “Sailing,” while amazing, is pure 100% Cross.
great episode
congrats chris!
I’m sure you will add anothe quality product to the great and ever growing oni library
congrats matt!
I’m sure you will become famous as the guy who Chris belittles and abuses when he’s drunk on his power(I mean more than now)
Huzzah! My favorite moment got read!
Hey guys. Funny show as usual; just wanted to say thanks for reading my listener question, and more importantly, for pronouncing my name right. Most people pronounce it Zee-ah. Happy new year!
I am glad to know that in all my butchering of video game titles, names and Steve Winwood song titles, I got at least one thing right.
1. Copies of MIRACLE MONDAY are pretty readily available on Amazon for .01 (with $3 shipping) in “acceptable condition” which is pretty reasonable for an almost 30 year old book.
2. I’m glad somebody pointed out that CM Punk’s song is not punk at all. However while he may not adhere to the look CM Punk is punk enough to have an Operation Ivy tattoo.
3. I wish I had remembered to submit my favorite WRA moment. I assumed someone else would have mentioned it, but the Castlevania trivia contest where Aaron invoked the legitimately tragic death of a 10 year old little girl in order to come up with a question Chris couldn’t answer… that was as hard as I’ve ever laughed at any podcast.
