Chris Jericho

Listen to the full podcast @ https://www.webisjericho.com/talk-is-jericho-danhausens-podcasthausen/ Danhausen has only been wrestling in human form for 5 or 6 years but has been wandering the earth for centuries! He shares his journey to wrestling and explains the jar of teeth he carries with him (what it means and who they belonged to). He talks about the horror films and characters that inspire his look, how he came up with the No Swearing catchphrase, and how his friendship with The Rock developed on Twitter over tequila. Danhausen speaks to his love of Seinfeld and Conan O’Brien and his close friendships with Orange Cassidy and Ethan Page. Plus, he remembers his short-lived stint as Donovan Danger and debunks a myth or two about some wrestler guy named Santiago.

Listen to the full podcast at https://www.webisjericho.com/talk-is-jericho-the-atrocities-of-graham-james-worst-scandal-in-nhl-history/ It’s the biggest sex scandal in hockey history, and it started in Canada’s famed junior hockey league and arguably contributed to the death of Jay Macaulay, a former high school classmate of Chris Jericho’s who died of a drug overdose in April. Winnipeg Free Press reporter Jeff Hamilton details the unbelievable story of disgraced ex-Western Hockey League coach Graham James and how he was able to sexually abuse junior hockey league players (some of who went on to become Stanley Cup winning NHL professionals) for years and years across multiple teams and territories. Jeff recounts all he uncovered in his years-long investigation into James, including the multiple coverups and enabling by some of Canadian hockey’s top officials. Jeff shares the NHL player's stories who came forward to ultimately take James down and why the predator only served 18-months before being released to live his life.
