⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unlikely partnership here but it works and then some. Dutch seems like a real good guy from wrasslin’ and James is excellent at moving the show along and asking great questions.

Recommend! (Especially if you need a break from the other overly ad heavy shows)

Ditch is the BEST!

This shoe is great to listen to as Dutch is so funny! A lot of the time, he doesn't mean to be funny, but he cracks a good one every now and then. He is a good man, not as a jerk or has attitude. I know him personally and he still cracks me up! Suggestion - Buy his two books! You’ll lover them and laugh through every chapter. This was not paid for the. I did it as a favor to my friend. By the way, Dutch is the man who gave Steve Austin his name, when Steve couldn’t think of one.

Love that theme song!

Reminds me of a cross between Deadwood and Tarantino. The show is great too! I like a no nonsense crusty veteran wrestler talking to refined young Brit any day of the week!
Updated: JAN ‘24: the show keeps getting better and better. The new formats and 2/week is appreciated. Best way I can describe the show is it’s an easy listen…falling asleep at night or driving to the gym, I can enjoy it any time of day when it pops in queue.
