From body slams to box office gold, the path from the wrestling ring to Hollywood has been walked by legends, icons, and a few surprises along the way. In this action-packed episode of Pop Culture Roulette, we’re diving headfirst into the glitz, the glam, and the grappling to determine once and for all: who is the greatest wrestler-turned-actor of all time?

Using our tried-and-true bracket format, we pit heavy-hitters like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Dave Bautista, and John Cena against cult favorites and unexpected scene-stealers like Roddy Piper, Kevin Nash, Andre the Giant, and Ronda Rousey. Can charisma beat championships? Does versatility matter more than muscle? And will the winner be a box office juggernaut or a beloved underdog?

Expect fierce debate, surprise upsets, and plenty of suplex-level hot takes as we whittle down the competition and crown the king (or queen) of Wrestlewood!

🎤 Ever confidently belted out a lyric, only to be told it’s completely wrong? You’re not alone—and this week on Pop Culture Roulette, we dive headfirst into the wonderfully confusing world of misheard lyrics with our new episode: The Treble Lie. Inspired by the infamous mondegreens that have haunted radios for decades, we’re putting our co-hosts to the test with a game where they must choose between the real lyric, the famously misheard version, or a totally fabricated one.

🎶 From “Hold me closer, Tony Danza” to “There's a bathroom on the right,” we explore the most hilarious, bizarre, and downright confusing misinterpretations in music history. But beware: some of these fake lyrics are so convincing, even YOU might second guess your memory. Can our contestants separate the truth from the treble?

Hit that play button, subscribe if you haven’t already, and tell a friend who’s still convinced the real lyric is “excuse me while I kiss this guy.” Trust us—this episode hits all the wrong notes in the best way possible.

This week on Pop Culture Roulette, we crank up the volume and drop into the chaotic, thrilling world of bands that changed lead singers. Whether it was the result of artistic clashes, personal meltdowns, sudden tragedies, or behind-the-scenes power plays, some of the biggest names in music have faced the daunting challenge of replacing the voice that defined them. We look at who nailed the transition, who barely survived it, and who flatlined after the mic was passed.

From arena rock titans to punk upstarts and pop juggernauts, we explore how a new frontman or frontwoman can either revive a band's legacy or send it crashing into obscurity. Did they win over fans, or alienate their core? Were the replacements better, worse, or just... different? We break down the risks, rewards, and the wild stories behind the curtain.

In this episode of Pop Culture Roulette, things take an unexpected turn as Jeremy is off enjoying the world of anime at a convention, leaving Justin and Nicholas to tackle a fascinating and often controversial topic: lifetime bans in professional sports. The duo dives deep into the stories behind individuals who have been permanently banned from the four major U.S. sports leagues—MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL. From high-profile scandals to lesser-known cases, they explore what led to these harsh penalties, examine whether they were justified, and debate the broader implications of such bans on the integrity of the games and the futures of those involved.

As the conversation unfolds, they shift gears to dissect the fine line between gambling and being banned for gambling—a hot-button issue in today's sports landscape. But just as the discussion heats up, technical difficulties strike: Justin's internet connection drops out unexpectedly, leaving Nicholas to fly solo for the rest of the episode. Undeterred, Nicholas takes the reins and rounds things out by sharing what he's been watching lately, offering listeners some fun and fresh viewing recommendations.

Get ready for a sitcom smackdown like no other! In this episode of Pop Culture Roulette, we dive headfirst into The Mom Wars — a bracket-style battle to determine who truly reigns supreme as the greatest TV sitcom mom of all time.

From the loving wisdom of Carol Brady to the sarcastic brilliance of Lois from Malcolm in the Middle, we’re stacking decades of iconic television motherhood against each other in a March Madness-style showdown.

We debate, we laugh, we reminisce, and yes — we make the hard choices so you don’t have to (but you’ll want to).

Whether you're Team Sitcom Classic or rooting for a modern-day matriarch, this episode is packed with nostalgia, pop culture deep dives, and heated (but loving) arguments.
