My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 505: The Brawl To End It All

In July 1984, the WWF and MTV teamed up for their first-ever wrestling special, The Brawl to End It All. It was unique because the only match to air on TV that night was the women’s championship match between The Fabulous Moolah and Wendi Richter.

Chad Smart joined the show to discuss the event and that era of wrestling as we were on the cusp of WrestleMania, a worldwide phenomenon.

I’ve got a raffle in July to raise funds for the cause. For every $5 donated, you’ll be entered to win this prize pack, which includes:

💪 XL Jeff Hardy T-shirt
💪 Kenny Omega AEW DVD
💪 Pro Wrestling Guerrilla DVD
💪 Eddie Guerrero Pin
💪 CM Punk Pin
💪 Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta Autographed 8×10

Donate via Venmo (@Kevin-Hunsperger), Cash App ($kevinhunsperger123), or PayPal (kevinhunsperger@gmail.com).

One winner will be drawn at random on Wednesday, July 31. Every penny donated will be used to buy wrestling figures.

Thanks, Chad Smart, for the prizes.

Greg and Chad’s Power Half Hour Episode 18: I want MY Mtv!

As a child of the ’80s, @chadsmart grew up with Mtv. As a child of the ’90s, Greg “@thehooch36” witnessed the last days of Mtv as a viable tool for emerging musicians.  Even though both hosts have fond memories of Mtv, there comes a time when they knew they were not the target demographic for the pop culture band leader.

On this episode of the Power Half Hour, Greg and Chad share their memories of Mtv and and explain when they realized their relationship with Mtv needed to end.  It wasn’t them, it was Mtv.

Positive Cynicism EP. 103: Wonder Why; Len

It’s the last stop on the throwback to 1999 month of Positive Cynicism. Jumping in the time machine, @chadsmart and @MikeDeKalb head to great white north to check out a brother and sister who team up with a hip hop crew. The group known as Len burst onto the scene in the summer/fall of 1999 with the song “Steal My Sunshine.” Before the song was off the charts, Len seemed to vanish into thin air. Where did they go?

Chad and Mike break down the history of Len and try to understand why their career fizzled out so quickly. After the history lesson, Mike gives him impromptu thoughts on the hip hop bands he’d like to see on a package tour.

POSITIVE CYNICISM EP. 73: WONDER WHY; MTV NOSTALGIA

As 2018 comes to a close, @chadsmart and @MikeDeKalb take a break from the normal Wonder Why formula as the month of nostalgia on Positive Cynicism continues. From discussing their first albums and concerts to their memories of Mtv, Chad and Mike stroll down the musical memory lane.


Positive Cynicism Ep. 68: Wonder Why; Sly Fox

This month on Wonder Why, Chad “Limited Effort” Smart and Mike “Rabbit Hole” DeKalb attempt to talk about Sly Fox’s 1986 hit “Let’s Go All The Way” and figure out why the duo of “Mudbone” Cooper and Michael “Not Hector” Camacho didn’t find success with any follow up singles.

Breaking down the history of Sly Fox does get a bit funky at times. Find out the interesting use of the back beat of “Let’s Go All the Way” as well as what a couple of clowns had to do with exposing one of Mtv’s worst kept secrets.

Once they’ve exhausted the history of Sly Fox, @chadsmart and @MikeDeKalb give your their holiday picks for the month.
