07 Aug Johnny Ferraro and Payne Lindsey
Adam welcomes the co-creator of “American Gladiators” Johnny Ferraro to discuss the making of his hit reality tv show, and to get into the nitty gritty of the recent documentaries about that memorable franchise. They discuss how the title was created, the blood, sweat and tears to get the show made, and how friendships were lost and gained. Adam and Johnny lament about how many documentaries take creative liberties at the expense of the truth.
Next Adam welcomes podcast host Payne Lindsey who has a podcast aimed at breaking the stigma around UFO’s. Adam delves right in as we learn about real people who’ve experienced UFO’s, including highly decorated military personnel. Adam queries if other countries have stories to tell as well?
Chris brings the news about that human looking bear at a zoo in China, the “Preppy Killer” being released from prison, and why beavers are now considered important for our environment.

This is a real bear, not a human dressed in costumes! A four-year-old Malayan sun bear named Angela in a Hangzhou zoo went viral on China’s social media as a video showed the world’s smallest bear standing upright and waving to tourists just like a human. pic.twitter.com/Azv2tTVJhv
