RJ City Returns!
Pro-wrestler, actor and talk show host RJ City (AEW's Hey! (EW)) is in town and in studio. He gives me an inordinate amount of sh*t for the previous night's debacle, maligns otters, tries to drive a wedge between Tony and me, and refuses to accept that I "get" wrestling now. We also talk about aliases, arachnophobia, attending a "happening" drama school, Kaye Ballard, sex, threesomes, protein bars, Don Knotts, and more. Plus the return of How Dare You and audience questions.
