It's so good! His story telling is just like his promos(yeah a Lil redundant) he has his point, he makes a comparison, seems like he's rambling then bam he dove tails it back and bam epic story told
Even though this is only episode 4, I think I'm confident in saying that Mick and Conrad have the best chemistry out of all of the podcasts Conrad does. It just flows so seamlessly. Really good work!

1) I love the subject backdrops pics as he's talking. It's a nice touch. 2) I think Mick is the show Conrad personally enjoys the most. You can really feel his fandom come thru in each one of these.
Foley is one of the old school wrestling greats and a brilliant storyteller. He carries this show on his own. Absolute legend. Thank you Mick for many of my greatest childhood memories.
Listening to Mick talk about Steve always makes me think of the promo he cut on RAW retiring Cactus Jack and talking about the fans chanting for Steve while he was being assaulted and saying he would never admit it but him and Steve were friends
Q: Who's saying Mastodon in 1996? A: The Power Rangers.
Mick needs to tell more stories from the legimate tough guys like Meng
I just want to say Mick's Cameo promos are the only commercial I do not skip over in any media...well along with Cornette's Codecademy masterpieces 👌🔥
Not to dismiss any of the other podcasts, but this could be my favourite at the moment. Love the flow between Conrad and Mick. The stories are great and the visuals really make it.
The Blue Chew commercial gets me everytime
Just such a good for the soul type of guy
When he said "we just watched someone die but here's another match" made me morbidly chuckle and say out loud "well they kinda did that when Owen died"🤣🤣🤣
Mick Foley is the G.O.A.T.!!!
Mick and Johnny B. Badd actually did wrestle on a handful of occasions. Their biggest match being on a Clash of the Champions where Mero beat him with dreaded sunset flip off the top rope! lmfao
God I love mick Foley such a great dude and amazing wrestler
As someone who is lucky enough to have met Mick Foley in person I have to say it was a true honor. Mick is the most refreshingly kind and down to earth celebrity I have ever ran into, and I would list him as someone who I would consider a great role model for my step kids.

Foley is pod sounds like 2 friends talking about wrestling. Nothing is forced or fake. By far the best legend podcast.
There are some people that can simply smile and with that small gesture alone they are able to bring joy to others. Mick smiling is more wholesome than kittens or apple pie
I really think foley podcast is going to be the best one, no politics, no screaming profanity laced pro mos, this podcast is 5 starr, for me it goes foley,cornette,disco n konan.i cant stand the 5 min segments from cornettes podcast, i like listening to the whole podcast, wow just wow, mick foley is white hot

I have always loved Mick and enjoy hearing him retell stories from his epic career. This outlet is perfect for him to really dive back into story teller mode and be entertaining for us all. Great job Mick and Conrad! Big fan!
This more an interview than a podcast
Much respect, Mick. I’ve suffered from back problems for over 30 years and I can’t imagine doing what you did in that kinda pain.
The fact that Mick never got heavy into pain pills is probably why he is still living today. Bless You Mrs.Foley's Baby Boy,may your years be long and as painfree as possible.
Great listen. Mick is the man

Lmao Mick is amazing. Those cameos are great! Such a great rifter! Very impressive.
Conrad you my boy !!
Been watching wrestling since I was 8. I'm about to turn 42. Was always a WWF guy but always knew who Cactus Jack was!!!! Had the honor of meeting you n you signed my Mr. Socko n called me a sick bastard for having The Rocks tattoo at Tri-county!!! Thanks, still have it, you are a legend n always have been!!!! Mick fuckin Foley called me a sick bastard!!!!!!!!
in regards to the vader paul orndorff fight: vader liked throwing his weight around and hurting or intimidating people. maybe he thought he and paul were even after the first punch but thats the problem with picking a fight with someone who isnt intimidated by you - you dont get the luxury of choosing when to stop it sounds like vader learned a valuable lesson that day
This is a great conversation. Keep up the good work, guys.
Best show going!
Misses foley baby boy
Mick foley and conrad thompson great podcast period awesome story tell .
Foley went easy on Micheals and his smile I feel. It was Shawn's life at the end of the day, fair enough to him. My fav foley WM was 15, I liked him versus Big Show as a kid, Paul Wight looked terrifying and you felt afraid for Mankind. When He ran in as the ref at the end of the the main event I popped. "Cmon Mankind Quick". I thought it was great.
GREAT PODCAST
Can’t wait for this!
Inversion tables are amazing
It’s often said of late that Bret Hart’s matches are “timeless” in that they are still fresh and relevant (true). I would argue the same for Mick, in my opinion if you got a time machine and brought mid 90’s Foley and brought him to 2022, if he wasn’t immediately signed by a major company he would probably be world champion in Impact, GCW or NWA.
An entire generation of kids knew mastodon because of the original mighty Morphin power rangers
If your reading these comments Mick Foley, (Just for the fans sake on the podcast), I know your using these guys real first names and putting the pictures up when telling the stories but, maybe the first time or so you can say Im going to call whoemever by their real name or the name that you know him as for ex, when i say Leon thats Vader for everyone else or something like that... I say this cause it took me a minute like whos Leon, even tho the pics came up but it took me a second to catch up (how would i know that ya know). Sure we'll be able to put it together but it makes it a little easier to understand. This is the 1st podcast Ive seen but Im stickin around. -Rah T.
Great story terry bam bam gordy he was great gone too soon. Mick foley great tell that story
Conrad, thanks for finally somebody speaking up on the obvious boringness of iron man matches. (A “2 out of 3 falls” is a bit odd too but at least it feels like an iron man match without the boringness, as it can go a looong time but still end at a moment’s notice)
Mick Foley I love see stand up
Please at some point discuss your matches against the Nasty Boys from SuperBrawl and Spring Stampede. You took two of the worst bumps in your career in those matches and I've never heard you specifically speak about them. Thanks for the great podcast and all the memories.

Also we often mimic each other's language during conversations. Mick isn't the type of guy to use profanity, get very upset, or scream, so Conrad follows suit. Meanwhile with someone like Bruce you'll hear more profanity and them losing their temper.
These r like a high budget, linear RF video shoot
Foley and cornette, make it happen
Yessssssss
Foley's the f'in man.
Mick has great memories about WWE…..
6:40 check out fink & gorilla totally no-selling the chaos surrounding them during the timekeeper superkick spot. I don’t dislike the iron man gimmick as much as Conrad, bc it can work very well at times (HHH/rock from judgement day 2000 was very underrated & loved the rude/steamboat stuff from 92 WCW) … but main event of mania isn’t the place to trot out the gimmick

Imagine working at your job having no idea how much money you would be making from month to month. The whole business model was leveraged so badly against the wrestlers: people down play guaranteed contracts but given Vince could pay you as little as he wanted, they were a necessary evil. Plus, for the record, WCW was giving guaranteed contracts way before Hall and Nash. Just watch Jim Cornette's 1989 and 1990 timeline videos. What changed is WCW started winning so Vince had to give guaranteed contracts to compete.

@@GameTime-yj6qv Yeah, which makes sense. Look at when Mero came in...who was leaving literally at the same time. The thing was, it wasn't just Vince...the whole wrestling industry(other than post 1988 WCW) used that weird fuzzy math to pay their talent. I'm no big supported for unions in general, but the wrestling biz definitely needed one back then and an argument could be made does still.
I'll be honest, had no idea Marc Mero was just a straight up white guy. I thought he was mixed.
Wrestlemania 13 was very quiet……..
Wow, 10k for a mania match when you are 3 of the hottest tag teams on the planet. Vince loves that fuzzy math.

The Iron Man match started very slow, to pace themselves. But the last 20 minutes was outstanding. I do feel though, that they should have been tied at one fall a piece instead of 0-0 heading into sudden death.

Tyson was not a wrestling fan, who the hell keeps saying Cold Stone and calls themselves a wrestling fan.
The closest you get to fanny packs in the UK are womens sanitary pads.
Something I've always put together from this, and other wrestler's podcasts is the absolute sociopath McMahon is. The schedule he subjected these guys to was absurd. And the life long and permanent damage is disgusting. Vince was asking, telling, and having wrestlers do things he would never do himself.

"Oh but he'd never ask you to do something he'd never do." He told Lawler to stay away from the ring until the sex pest shit cleared, and look who is trying to get back on tv now despite it being a far worse and more easily proven circumstance thanks to him paying out out of the company till. McMahon is a tool.
