chris was channeling his inner-scharpling during the interview. so funny !! & we all love the pro-wrestling talk – in fact i think WRA converts a lot of listeners into fans.
MY TOP THREE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS
1. ike jerome from ZEROVILLE
2. the bride from KILL BILL
3. milhouse van houten from THE SIMPSONS
PS
i love when matt talks THE SIMPSONS. tho i think i’m the last person alive who still enjoys the new episodes … i say if batman or bugs bunny or archie can last 100 years, why not the citizens of springfield ???
In a strange moment of inter-podcast crossover, a Matt Gourley Volkswagen spot was the commercial for my version of this episode.
