Interesting it says may be offensive/disturbing

I am a big fan of history. Sometimes it’s beautiful, sometimes it’s ugly and sometimes it’s horrific. I prefer all things to be unfiltered and include all of the good and all of the bad. I think it’s great/important you put a disclaimer on there as not everyone enjoys hearing the ugly and people should have a choice upfront. I, however, absolutely love hearing about the real and uncensored aspects of everything, including pro wrestling. Excellent episode.

That was a doozy but it was also incredible. Best episode Conrad’s ever done across all of his podcasts. I was super invested the entire time!

This was a superb episode. Haven't heard any of thr grilling JR in a while but heard this was a doozy so checked it out. Yeah, some dark stuff, soon as I heard one of the names pop up, knew it wasn't gonna be particularly nice but it's honest and part of the journey. Some hilarious stuff there too. Well done guys. 👍

Good show, but I don’t understand the hoopla. The KKK story has been told before by numerous people, including JR’s book, and the one guy who said that comment about the 10 year old, I don’t know if he’s as heinous as Buck Zumhofe who actually went to prison for that shit. I was thinking there was gonna be something catastrophic or gut-wrenching.

Dick Murdoch bar story is roughly the same as the Charlie Daniels song “Uneasy rider 88” 😂🤣

I mean the Grizzly Smith and Bob Sweetan stuff about kids is pretty terrible. If not completely spelled out here than from the other stories over the years.

Love JR but I couldn’t get thru this one

This was fantastic and hard at the same time

I’m sure everyone knew Grizzly Smith was no saint from long ago with that Beyond the Mat documentary. Everyone is different but none of this on the show was unheard of before.
