Listen to the full episode at https://www.webisjericho.com/category/talk-is-jericho/ The mysterious Isaac Weishaupht runs https://illuminatiwatcher.com, and explains who they are, what they want, and how they plan to achieve their ultimate goal. He talks about the suspected celebrity Illuminati members and why they "hide" in plain sight, the everyday symbols that really serve as subliminal messages from the Illuminati, and the importance of the number 666. Isaac speaks to the Star Wars, Rolling Stones, aliens, and Kobe Bryant Illuminati connections, and the role that Aleister Crowley plays in the Illuminati belief system.

WINNIPEGGERS: EPISODE 10 – Leaving Home Dave Spivak left home at age 18 to go to broadcasting school in Thunder Bay, and learned about Shake N Bake, hard boiled eggs, nunchucks, and dealing with same sex crushes (who also happened to be the local drug dealer). Rybo moved out in order to furnish someone else’s apartment, and have a place to park his hand-me-down Oldsmobile. And then there was the time he lived in the Town Inn Suites in Toronto for 2 months and drank white wine for nutrients. Chris Jericho moved out and discovered that Van Halen songs actually had guitar solos, and that his dad’s driving advice and tips were actually useful. Hey @SpeweeMemes – a little inspiration for ya! #GuyLiner #Buckethead #NunchucksMaster Thanks to our sponsor!

Mark is the creator and director behind the horror short, “Coven,” and the subject of the 1999 film, “American Movie,” which documented the 3 years Mark spent writing, shooting, and editing “Coven.” Mark and Eli talk personal movies versus studio films, the creative process, the benefit of film school, what it was like to shoot on actual film and have to wait for it to be developed, and how they feel about the future of movies and the theater experience in the age of COVID. The threesome also talk about some of their favorite movies and directors (like Werner Herzog), and Mark speaks to the “Coven” sequel and when that may be available. It’s a great discussion about the art of film!

Listen to the full episode at https://www.webisjericho.com/category/talk-is-jericho/ The “Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour” launched in May of 1991, and was Warrant’s first headlining tour of that size. It was Firehouse’s first big tour, and Trixter had already been on the road for 7 months when they got the call to open the bill. None of the bands had ever really crossed paths before, but by the time the tour wrapped in October, not only had they all become fast friends, they also ended up with one of the highest-grossing tours of the year. And then grunge happened, and almost overnight, the three bands found themselves virtually out of work. Warrant’s Eric Turner, Firehouse’s Bill Leverty, and Trixter’s Steve Brown and PJ Farley reunite to tell tales from that storied rock tour (probably the last of its kind) including the pranks they played on each other, the after-show hangouts, jamming in local bars, Jani Lane’s video game obsession, and the night Judas Priest’s Rob Halford came to see them play in Phoenix, Arizona.

Eddie chronicles his wrestling journey from his days with Chikara to his run at Impact Wrestling to the public challenge he issued that landed him a shot challenging Cody for the TNT title, and ultimately a contact with AEW! Plus, you’ll hear how Eddie developed his character, and his incredible ability to cut promos.

He shares why the band had to go to Germany to get a record deal and make a name for themselves, why Ratt bassist Juan Croucier was in the initial Dokken lineup, and how The Scorpions factored into the band’s early success. Dokken talks about his love-hate relationship with guitarist George Lynch and the fist-fights they used to get into on a daily basis, how Metallica blew them off the stage on the Monsters of Rock Tour in 1988, and what he had to do to get his name back after losing the right to perform as Dokken!

Everybody’s got a doppelganger – someone else in the world who looks just like ‘em! Dave hates that his is Simon LeBon from Duran Duran (or maybe Tom Johnston from The Doobie Brothers). Rybo’s been called a lot of things, including Jesus (could be worse), and someone else equally as questionable but for completely different reasons!

You’re gonna have to ask him yourself (twitter @dspivakproject). Can’t wait to see what @speweememes shares for this one (anything but the giant cat mask, please)!
