Wrestling
Wrestling and video games interests recently has seen an overlap. Chuck even owns a Snorlax named Samoa Joe in Pokemon Go. Chuck and the crew reminisce their favorite wrestling memories and moments, such as Scott Steiner and Macho Man promos. They also discuss current wrestling, where the WWE is the most stronger and why to keep an eye out for AEW.
I was a huge Jeff Hardy in the Attitude Era. I think it’s because he was the wrestling equivalent of the band Nirvana. Every time that you saw him on screen could be the last time you ever see him. I gotta watch him. He could fall on his neck and die.

Marvel Universe and Comics

The crew and Chuck also discuss their theories with the upcoming Marvel Universe and how other Marvel will be introduced. Chuck is looking forward to the new Dr. Strange, and was disappointed with the recent Dark Phoenix movie.
When you get a character that the comic book version is so incredibly hokey, it could have went sideways real easy. (With) the most recent Spider-Man movie, it did not occur to me until I was sitting in the theater how easily you could of got Mysterio wrong. Look at the comic book version of Mysterio. He’s wearing wearing a goofy green outfit and a fish bowl head.
