    Jake the Snake was popular when I watched wrestling, this was such a blast from the past! I didn't realize his debut was against one of my faves, Lanny Poffo! Loved hearing that Andre the Giant wasn't even afraid of snakes! Chris, you are so good at getting stories out of people, I love listening to your interviews! Hope you are doing ok.

    What a jewel to hear the stories with producing the videos with Kurt Cobain. I can see how Kurt would have felt comfortable with Kevin. So neat he got to hang out with him at him home. I wish some of the unreleased footage would be released one day. Kevin is so casual about the stories...even the incident with the guitar and the bouncer at the show with Kurt.

    Yeah, great observation about how Kurt would feel comfortable with Kevin. When I was talking with him, I thought the same thing, I could totally see how they were friends aside from working on the music videos. Thanks for the excellent comment, Red!

    Awesome interview! I just found the tv series Dark Side of the Ring so it was cool Jake the Snake on there and hearing some of these behind the scene stories. I didn't know he had his own podcast, we'll have to check that out! So interesting about the snakes. It's always interesting to hear how these guys are in their personal lives and what they put on for the fans. Just makes me love these guys even more.

    Chris, great job landing these guests. Killer blast from the past here. JTS was one of my fav WWF wrestlers as a kid. You mentioned Leaping Lenny, too. He was another of my unsung heroes. I didn’t know he passed away recently. Great story with he and Jake. I saw Jake on a WWF tour in LA. He was a genius at riling up the crowd. Great work dude!

    Wow! I don't really remember seeing Jake, but I also didn't watch much wrestling. Last I remember it was WWF, then they changed it to WWE, and fan girling on Chyna for a bit. Jake "The Snake" went through quite a bit and I definitely could not handle the snake. I can't believe the snake broke stuff in the bathroom either, haha. That Vader stroy is scary! This was a very exciting interview Chris, keep it up!!
