Helloween’s Michael Kiske returns to talk about the band’s brand-new album, Giants and Monsters! He explains how Helloween’s three-singer setup with Andi Deris and Kai Hansen works in the studio and on stage, and what it’s like splitting lead vocals on songs. He shares how the band picks who sings what, what happens when one of them gets sick, and how the producers played a surprising role in shaping the new album. Michael also discusses his favorite tracks from Giants and Monsters, why he avoids watching Helloween videos or even listening back to finished albums, and how that keeps his performances fresh. He recalls his early years with the band, why he left at just 24, how the Pumpkins United reunion finally came together, and what’s kept the current lineup happy and productive nearly eight years later. Plus, Michael reveals his lifelong love of Elvis, how the King influenced his own stage presence, and his all-time favorite Elvis track.

Joe reveals how he shot the entire alien gorefest inside his own apartment on 16mm film for under $200k, pulled off insane practical effects with chainsaws, alien puppets, and a POV camera strapped to his own head, and somehow kept his neighbors from complaining during four years of screaming, smashing glass, and spraying neon blood at all hours.

Gerry Morrow was one of the all-time great territory wrestlers, a master heel, a world traveler, and one of the toughest (and funniest) guys to ever step in the ring! He was also a mentor and great friend to Jericho, Lance Storm, AEW’s Don Callis, and Paul Lazenby. Hear about Gerry’s legendary giant-hand slaps (and the poor referee who took six in a row), his love for bumping and selling backdrops, and the time he sang Prince’s “Scandalous” at the top of his lungs during a 3am road trip. Don remembers touring South Africa with Gerry, and how his toughness made dangerous situations feel safe. Lance talks about wrestling in Beirut with Gerry, learning to call matches despite Gerry’s thick accent, and one specific crazy “steel can” spot! Paul shares the story of Gerry boxing his ears in his very first tag match, and how Gerry later pulled him aside with calm, constructive advice instead of ripping him a new one. They also cover Gerry’s days in Japan, his Stampede Wrestling legacy, why Vince McMahon & WWF never called him, and the immense respect Gerry earned from Bret Hart and every peer who ever worked with him. Plus, ribs, road stories, and lots of locker room laughs! Thank you for supporting our sponsors! Rula: Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Author Andrew Craneman spent 15+ years compiling over 70 years of music history into The Rock And Roll Almanac: A Day-By-Day Journey Through 70 Years of Legendary Music History, and he’s sharing how and why he did it! Andrew explains how a random discovery about the death of Snot’s frontman on December 11th, 2008 sparked the idea for the book, and how it evolved from a blank Word doc to a 2751-entry deep dive into rock & roll lore! He talks about growing up in Finland, falling in love with Blue Öyster Cult before he could speak English, and why Metallica’s Load was such a pivotal first CD. He shares stories about the research process, the fun and the grind of self-publishing, and how he decided what made the cut—including Keith Moon’s most outrageous moments, Temple Of The Dog’s surprising origins, and what didn’t make it in (but will in his follow-up Heavy Metal Almanac). Plus, Andrew and Jericho geek out on classic rock birthdays, band anniversaries, and what happened today in music history!

Samoa Joe is Sweet Tooth, literally. The former AEW World Champion talks season 2 of Peacock’s hit action-comedy Twisted Metal, where he physically embodies the iconic ice-cream truck-driving killer clown, while Will Arnett provides the voice. Joe dives into how his pro wrestling background helped shape the body language, timing, and emotional expression needed to bring Sweet Tooth to life behind the mask, and how wrestling legends like Jushin Thunder Liger and Rey Mysterio inspired his physical performance. He talks about his wild audition tape, the adrenaline-fueled stunt work on set, and the unlikely chemistry between him and Arnett. Joe also reflects on his AEW run – from working with Hook, Shibata, and Will Hobbs, to his signature “walk away” moment that broke the internet. He discusses his departure from WWE, what went wrong (and right) during his two runs there, and why his match with Brock Lesnar remains one of his favorites. And of course, there’s talk of TNA, ROH, Kurt Angle, William Regal, and the incredible journey that brought Joe to this moment—wielding machetes in post-apocalyptic ice cream trucks and dropping promos like a boss!  Twisted Metal Season 2 debuts Thursday, July 31st on Peacock! https://peacocktv.com 📸Instagram:  @samoajoe Watch this episode on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/ChrisJerichoFozzy 👍 Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes!   More from Talk Is Jericho: 📸 Instagram: @chrisjerichofozzy | @talkisjericho 🐦 Twitter/X: @IAmJericho | @TalkIsJericho 🌐 Website: https://www.webisjericho.com/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
