Sorg returns alongside Mad Mike and guest co-host TruePrinceofPro to talk Danhausen thriving in WWE, Roman Reigns and CM Punk’s latest verbal shots, AAA Rey de Reyes, AEW Revolution fallout, and a full slate of indie wrestling updates. Plus: Mayhem Mania madness, local event announcements, and another unforgettable “What We Learned” segment.

This week on AwesomeCast, Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar bring a travel-heavy, tech-friendly episode that starts with a massive field report from Epic Universe in Orlando and ends with a handful of clever tech and gaming stories. The big headline is simple: if you’ve been wondering whether Epic Universe is worth the hype, this episode gives you a real user’s perspective instead of polished marketing copy.  Sorg and Katie spend a big chunk of the episode walking through their experience at Epic Universe and Islands of Adventure. They talk strategy for entering the park without early-access privileges, how they navigated long waits, why some online advice helped and some of it only created anxiety, and which lands felt the most immersive. Their coverage includes Dark Universe, Harry Potter’s Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and the How to Train Your Dragon area, which may have stolen the show. Food gets plenty of love too, with shoutouts to the butterbeer crepe, mac-and-cheese cone, and Toadstool

This week on Fishing Without Bait, we continue our deeply moving conversation with returning guest Emily. In this episode, Emily shares the intense and emotional journey following her daughter McKenna’s sudden medical crisis. What began as a normal day quickly turned into a life-threatening situation involving emergency surgery, strokes, and unimaginable uncertainty. Emily walks us through the overwhelming decisions, the devastating prognosis she was given, and the moments that tested her strength like never before. Despite facing the possibility of losing her child, Emily found herself holding onto even the smallest signs of hope — a breath over a ventilator, a slight movement, a reason to keep going. She reflects on the emotional toll, the fear of the unknown, and how she navigated anxiety, trauma, and the temptation of relapse during the darkest moments. This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the importance of support systems when life changes in an instant. This is Part 2 of ou

This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk the absolute wrong people invoking the bible on Married To Medicine; Amanda manifesting her new book in an unexpected place on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills; a roasted Alyssa Edwards on RuPaul’s Drag Race; and their thoughts on the world of culinary reality with new seasons of Top Chef & America’s Culinary Cup. 7:18 - Married to Medicine: Season 12: Episode 13 39:30 - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Season 15: Episode 13 1:16:28 - RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 18: Episode 11 1:49:28 - Top Chef / America’s Culinary Cup We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA.

AwesomeCast 771 features special guest hosts Missy Sorg and Dave Podnar while Mike Sorg is away, and they bring a fun mix of geek culture, health tech, AI, and gaming news. They kick things off with a Mario Day discussion about the mystery goo in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, then dive into Dave’s experience with the WatchPAT ONE at-home sleep apnea test and how healthcare technology is becoming more accessible. They also unpack Amazon’s new healthcare AI assistant, discuss privacy concerns around medical data, and explore how ChatGPT’s new interactive math and science visuals could help visual learners and change education. Plus, Chachi checks in with video game news on Nintendo tariffs and Microsoft’s Project Helix, and Dave closes things out with a lighter story about a custom Chicago-built hybrid Ford Explorer for the Pope.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, Jim welcomes back returning guest Emily — whose recovery journey inspired many listeners in her previous appearance. This time, she shares a new chapter marked not by addiction, but by maternal instinct, fear, and extraordinary courage. Emily describes how she sensed something was wrong with her healthy two-year-old daughter weeks before doctors confirmed it. Despite multiple visits and reassurances that it was “just a virus,” her body told her otherwise. The anxiety built until one terrifying afternoon when her daughter collapsed in her arms. From calling 911, to the helicopter ride to Children’s Hospital, to hearing the words “open heart surgery,” Emily walks us through the moment-by-moment unfolding of crisis. She reflects on fear, being unheard, trust in medical professionals, and the power of intuition. This is Part 1 of a deeply moving story about resilience, advocacy, recovery, and the spiritual strength that carried her through. Subscribe on your favorite p

This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk about the tragic news of Robert Cosby Jr’s passing; the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, featuring the Grande Dame’s return & possible final appearance of Dr. Wendy; Married To Medicine’s Jamaica trip full of Med Gala drama; whether Dorit’s spending is out of control on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills; and an out of the suitcase design challenge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. 14:07 - Real Housewives of Potomac: Season 10: Episodes 19 & 20 55:33 - Married to Medicine: Season 12: Episodes 11 & 12 1:29:36 - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Season 15: Episodes 11 & 12 2:20:38 - RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 18: Episode 10 We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA.

The Wrestling Mayhem Show crew is back with Sorg, Rizz, and Mad Mike, joined by special guest Referee George Ross—and it’s a loaded week of wrestling talk. First, the crew breaks down the weekend’s big talking points coming out of Elimination Chamber, including match reactions, what’s clicking (and what isn’t) on the road to WrestleMania, and how quickly the conversation shifts when a certain very-evil, very-nice wildcard shows up. Danhausen’s debut sparks debate about crowd reactions vs. internet reactions, plus what WWE can do with him now that he’s officially in the mix.  From there, the show bounces through the wider wrestling world: AEW chatter (including the crew’s love of social-media moments and crowd chants), AAA’s Rey de Reyes sword lore, and plenty of classic Mayhem tangents—including the important hard-hitting question of the week: what is the most hardcore ice cream?  Then Referee George Ross takes us inside his recent weekends in the trenches, including a deep dive into the world of CZW—fro

Sorg, Katie, and Dave Podnar hit the week’s tech and geek headlines: Nintendo’s Virtual Boy revival on Switch, Apple’s latest product wave (including iPhone 17e and iPad Air updates), and a troubling report about Meta AI smart glasses and human review. Plus Dunkin’s giant drink bucket, MuppetVision in VR, Adobe’s AI video-editing experiments, Pokémon nostalgia gadgets, Xbox 1440p cloud streaming, a Marvel retro collection, and a Women’s History Month spotlight on Grace Hopper.

Part 4 of our conversation with Zeke Mercer dives deep into personal evolution, self-awareness, and the courage to reassess life’s direction. Zeke candidly discusses recognizing when wrestling — something she deeply loves — has become “one of the weeds,” using the metaphor of “planting flowers and pulling weeds” to frame growth and change. Jim and Zeke explore how “things work until they don’t,” the nature of ignorance (both willful and systemic), and the importance of developing critical thinking skills. The conversation expands into individuality versus group identity, referencing themes echoed in 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, and how society often claims uniqueness while gravitating toward conformity. The episode closes with a powerful message from Zeke about being yourself, questioning your choices, and understanding that nothing is permanent. This discussion is about reflection, transitions, and knowing which weeds to pull in your own life. Calls to Action: Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast

This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk the finale and reunion of The Traitors as Maura’s last opportunities to tink trough it are for naught, as the snake charmer works his magic.

Sorg, Rizz, and Mad Mike welcome 880 Wrestling TNF Champion Marco Narcisso to talk character evolution, Den of Desire chaos, and what’s next across the Pittsburgh scene. Plus: WrestleMania-season shakeups, AEW momentum toward Revolution, a Mayhem Mania rules run-down, and “What We Learned” to close it out.

Sorg and Podnar cover big and bizarre tech headlines: an alleged DJI robot vacuum security mess, AI-assisted “vibe coding,” and why camera-equipped home gadgets deserve extra caution. They also dig into the SAE Civic Progress Challenge (accessible mobility innovation), geek out over a playable Tetris magazine cover, and hit viral Winter Olympics moments—plus a Dunkin iced coffee mitten that’s as ridiculous as it sounds. Includes Chachi’s Video Game Minute and a Black History Month spotlight on Frederick McKinley Jones.

In Part 3 of our conversation with Zeke Mercer, we dive deeper into themes of identity, perception, and personal growth. Zeke discusses healthcare bias, longstanding societal beliefs, and how misinformation shapes real-world experiences. The conversation explores the dangers of bitterness and resentment, the balance between ego and skill, and the importance of cultivating environments where people can truly grow. Drawing parallels between wrestling and life, Zeke shares insights on authenticity, competence, and self-respect. This episode is a reflective and honest exploration of mindfulness, awareness, and the courage to live truthfully.

This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk Part One of the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, where Wendy must answer for recent headlines and Stacey must answer for how she actually talks. Then, a new episode of Married To Medicine, that sees Heavenly do a mock town hall, before apparently missing out on the election for the new head of the Med Gala. And finally, a new episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where Denise Richards sets the record straight on her volatile marriage, leading Erika to make a stunning confession. 4:18 - Real Housewives of Potomac: Season 10: Episode 18 1:04:00 - Married to Medicine: Season 12: Episode 10 1:37:44 - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Season 15: Episode 10 We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA.

Part 2 of our conversation with Zeke Mercer dives deeper into the realities behind ambition, sacrifice, and self-worth. Zeke speaks candidly about guiding younger wrestlers, confronting the harsh truth that “wrestling doesn’t owe you a thing,” and the emotional crossroads between acceptance and bitterness. The conversation expands into integrity, ethical living, and how actions reveal character more than words ever can. Zeke also opens up about her personal evolution, sharing reflections on transitioning, self-discovery, and navigating a world that isn’t always accepting.

Wrestling Mayhem Show 993: Tony Kincaid vs. The Inevitable Pie Monday nights don’t usually look like this—RAW is on, the group chat energy is turned up, and the Wrestling Mayhem Show crew is doing what it does best: tracking the weird little signals that become big wrestling conversations. First up: the buzz around The IInspiration showing up in AEW. The debate isn’t whether they belong (they do), it’s about the choice—dropping a moment that big on a house show instead of television, and whether the modern “social media hidden gem” approach actually builds hype or just frustrates people who wanted the pop on-screen.  From there, the WWE machine gives everyone a new toy to argue about: the mystery box. The crew turns it into a full-on challenge: send in your best “realistic but funniest” answer, and you might score a Mayhem Mania advantage.  Then the conversation takes a sharp left into the business side of fandom: talk of a WrestleMania weekend Vegas watch-party blackout and what that means for fans w

This week on AwesomeCast 768, Sorg, Dudders, and Podnar dig into the tech and culture behind the headlines: Apple Podcasts bringing video, Olympics drone chase-cam production, and the real-world challenges of taking a smartphone on a lunar mission. Plus: Sorg’s time with Riot’s 2XKO, Dudders’ 6-in-1 air safety monitor, and a wave of Nintendo cuteness with Hatchin’ Yoshi and the Mario Wonder Talking Flower. We also share an EFF privacy self-check with Cover Your Tracks, and a surprisingly useful event tool: StageCue for managing video playback on venue screens.
