About this episode
Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver kick off this week diving into AI simulations that blur the line between fantasy and reality. From imagining Tyson vs. Frazier to de-aging themselves into a 1991 version of Kliq This, the conversation explores how artificial intelligence could rewrite sports, entertainment, and even history. But as Kev warns, it all comes at an electrifying cost. The mood turns cosmic when Nash brings up "Atlas 31," a mysterious object moving through space that some conspiracy corners believe isn't just a meteor. What starts as a chat about science spirals into cyanide emissions, alien theories, and how much energy humanity's digital future will really take to sustain. Back on Earth, Nash unpacks the bizarre world of tariff insurance, connecting billion-dollar bets to politics and Wall Street's newest obsession. He then takes us 35,000 feet up with stories from a claustrophobic transatlantic flight—proof that being 6'10" comes with its own turbulence. The pair also debate CM Punk's comments about airport autograph hunters, sharing firsthand stories about wrestling's gray area between fandom and harassment. Nash recalls the tricks, scams, and even a few Sharpie-based revenge tactics from his years on the road. Finally, the episode closes with a flurry of nostalgia and sharp insight—from MTV's fall from cultural dominance to the vanishing art of residual checks and the danger of cold plunges.
