    Space-Truckin', Ass-Stompin' with MOTHER TRUCKER creator "Animal" Andy Belanger

    Space-Truckin', Ass-Stompin' with MOTHER TRUCKER creator "Animal" Andy Belanger

    IWS is back. MOTHER TRUCKER is back. All in all, it's a good time to be Animal Bob Anger!  We've talked to Bob at length about MOTHER TRUCKER on previous episodes, and since then his sci-fi comic about a space-truckin' ass stomping wrestling goddess has come to fruition. Much like the kickstarter for book one, the crowdfunding campaign for book two "The Cut Off" was fully funded in a matter of HOURS!

    But now that MOTHER TRUCKER is no longer an idea and a real book in readers' hands, now what? We talk about what's next for Bob, Lethal Comics, IWS, and more-- including the return of CONVERSATION SMARKERS on the Smark & Friends Podcast.

    Threat Level: Money Plane! Reviewing Money Plane with Flying Frank Milano

    Threat Level: Money Plane! Reviewing Money Plane with Flying Frank Milano

    We've been wanting to cover Money Plane for a while, and with a moniker like that of our guest, now is the perfect time. Professional wrestler Flying Frank Milano joins the show today! Frank is a second-generation wrestler who makes the Quebec wrestling scene his stomping ground. We talk a little about that but mainly, we're here to review Money Plane, starring WWE's Rated R Superstar Edge alongside Kelsey Grammer. The stakes are high - literally and figuratively - in this heist flick, and we have almost as much fun reviewing the film as Kelsey Grammer had twirling his mustache.

    Half a Granola Bar, Half a Banana featuring BUDDY!

    **Disclaimer : The video in this watchalong begins with a strobe light**

    It's the first episode of the summer, and in the spirit of rest and recreation, Zak welcomes his five-year-old son and return guest Buddy to Smark & Friends. This lucky kid got to watch TWO wrestling matches this week after some technical difficulties in our first attempt, but we landed on a watchalong of the enigmatic Orange Cassidy taking on Psycho Mike at Smash Wrestling - which goes exactly as you'd expect a match between Orange Cassidy and Psycho Mike to go!

    Conversation Smarkers with Taryn From Accounting

    Conversation Smarkers with Taryn From Accounting

    We're proverbially heading back to the West Coast to speak to one of Albertan wrestling’s rising stars. Balancing books with striking good looks, we're speaking to the master of the Number Cruncher, Taryn From Accounting joins the show. Taryn’s been wrestling for 3 years and has recently gotten back into the ring as COVID-related restrictions begin to ease up out west. We talk about that, we talk about her finishing move, we talk about Dolly Parton, AND, Taryn helps us kick off a new format of Smark & Friends with Conversation Smarkers - a series of oddball questions thrown out over a couple o' beers!

    When The Going Gets Weird with Ravenous Randy Myers

    When The Going Gets Weird with Ravenous Randy Myers

    Call him the punk hunk, the weirdo hero, call him Ravenous, Zak welcomes west coast’s wrestler Randy Myers to the show. Randy’s a vet, having worked for 20 years in the wrestling scene, but he’s now about a year removed from wrestling - which, admittedly, sucks, but that hasn’t stopped Randy from being busy. Down time in the wrestling scene has afforded this absolute creative force of nature the time to double down on his interest in stand-up comedy. He’s kept busy with live shows, particularly stand-up in front of a Zoom audience. We gab about stand-up, we also chat at length about his web series “The Weirdo Hero” and what drove him to creating the series, and much more.

Not a wrestling fan? WELL YOU WILL BE

As a novice wrestling... viewer?... this podcast is PERFECT for a fun kickback conversation while having a cold one and watching an old Wrestlemania match. Zak always comes prepared with the jokes and I love listening to how much he loves sharing what he loves with other people!! Keep up the podtastic work!!!!
