  • One bad bastage

    Dutch might not remember anything, but he’s still more entertaining than many other podcasters. That old bastage alongside James’ natural “lovable” assholiness is a marriage that is easy on the ears!

  • The best wrestling podcast

    The last man standing for me is Dutch. Where others have shown their ignorance on past and current events, Dutch has always been a gentleman. He shares his opinion but knows how to put out just enough that he never sounds stupid. James is awesome and is not afraid to attack the business when it’s necessary. Clear and concise Dutch and James keep it on point and relevant. Great job guys.

Ask Dutch Anything 110 | Mass Transit Incident
Q: How likely was it for wrestlers to be audited by the IRS back in the territory days?

Ask Dutch Anything 108 | Creating Beer Money
Q: What made Beer Money a great tag team, and how did the idea come about?
