Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

On episode 190 of Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver kick things off by examining the rapidly evolving world of AI-generated content, reacting to a shockingly realistic AI film featuring digital recreations of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. The duo debates whether this technology will ultimately replace traditional entertainment or remain a novelty, with Nash offering his characteristically skeptical take on the promises of Silicon Valley and the tech industry at large. The conversation shifts into the financial arena as Nash and Oliver dissect what they see as modern-day Ponzi schemes, from Bitcoin's volatile valuation to the murky world of precious metal ETFs. Nash channels his inner Warren Buffett, passionately arguing that nothing has true value unless it produces something tangible, while Oliver highlights the absurdity of paper silver trading at 350 times the amount of physical silver that actually exists. The pair also takes aim at Pam Bondi's now-infamous claim that the Dow crossed $50,000, using it as a springboard to discuss the current state of political and financial literacy. In the heart of the episode, Nash fields fan questions about the inherent dangers of professional wrestling, delivering a masterclass in ring safety. From his death-defying descent from the ceiling as Sting at World War 3 1997 to his philosophy on Hell in a Cell matches, chair shots, battle royals, and blading, Nash reveals the tricks of the trade that kept him safe over a decades-long career. He explains why he insisted that Hell in a Cell should stay "in" the cell, how he took chair shots without contact, and where wrestlers hide their blades — including Hulk Hogan's notorious habit of stashing his in his mouth. The Mount Ashmore segment crowns Nash's picks for wrestlers who could hold their booze, with The Undertaker, Steve Austin, Scott Hall, and Nash himself earning spots on the mountain. From there, the episode veers into Nash's hilarious gym stories — including a run-in with Nickelback-loving powerlifters — his meticulous approach to planning workouts on the road, and a weather report from a brutally cold Florida winter that cost him tens of thousands in landscaping. Nash and Oliver close out the show by tackling Trump's tariffs on Canada and the controversial delay of the Gordie Howe Bridge, with Nash connecting the dots between billionaire bridge owner Matty Moroun's influence and the political maneuvering behind the scenes. The episode wraps with a heartfelt look at the real-world impact on Canadian snowbirds in the Daytona Beach area, proving once again that Kliq This is equal parts wrestling history, cultural commentary, and unfiltered conversation.

Kliq This is back with another 11Soft hangout that starts with Big Kev vs. the concept of "checkout time" and immediately spirals into hotel paranoia, road life rules, and the eternal question of whether your toothbrush has ever been through some things. From there, Kev and Sean pivot to the halftime show discourse, why certain "talking points" become white noise, and Kev's oddly wholesome reasoning for loving physics (because if he's leaving Earth, he's driving the spaceship himself).
Then it gets heavier. Kev and Sean get into the Bondi hearing, "gaslighting" vs. lying, and the frustration of watching important information stay buried forever. After that, the show swings back into pure Kliq This chaos, including smoked old fashioneds, Vince McMahon as a scotch guy, travel stories that feel like a movie, WWE allegedly blocking WrestleMania watch parties in Vegas, and a Mount Ashmore draft for the best action movie stars. Plus, an all-timer prank story featuring Owen, Davey Boy, Lex Luger, and cops who were definitely "in on it."

This week on Kliq This, Kev and Sean go everywhere. And I mean everywhere. It starts with Bitcoin vs gold, market volatility, paper assets versus physical assets, and how fast trillions can disappear when the market sneezes. From there it turns into conspiracy theories, precious metals, and why trusting anything "on paper" might be the biggest gamble of all. Then Kev recaps a Milwaukee trip where he was treated like royalty… until housekeeping tried to kick him out of a literal tribal chief's suite. From hotel horror stories and privacy paranoia to room service etiquette, airline lounges, bidets, and the unspoken rules of using someone else's bathroom, this episode goes fully off the rails in the best way possible. On the wrestling side, the guys dig deep into modern booking philosophy, Gunther's heat, AJ Styles' future, and why some stars don't need titles to matter. There's real talk about WrestleMania main events, Roman vs Punk, Drew McIntyre's positioning, and how much "real" emotion still exists when two pros get nose to nose. Plus, insight you won't hear anywhere else about money, miles, and why leaving cash on the table is the ultimate sin. And yes… it all leads to a Mount Ashmore debate you didn't know you needed. Kev breaks down his picks for hottest female athletes across sports, explaining not just the looks, but the attitude, swagger, and athletic edge that makes them stand out. It's funny, unfiltered, wildly inappropriate at times, and exactly why Kliq This never sounds like any other wrestling podcast. Unpredictable, uncensored, and somehow still insightful.

Episode 187 starts in one place and ends up everywhere. Big ideas, sharp detours, and the kind of conversations that only happen when nobody is sticking to a rundown. If you like episodes where you don't quite know where the next turn is coming from, this one lives in that lane.
There's a lot of side-eye at the state of media right now. What we pay for it, what we actually use, and why some things still feel non-negotiable no matter how many streaming apps exist. It turns into a broader conversation about habits you can't quite shake, even when technology says you should.
Money comes up, but not in the obvious way. Less "hot takes," more real-world perspective. Value, scarcity, and why certain things suddenly feel heavier than they did just a few years ago. It's not a lecture, but it's not nothing either.
Wrestling threads weave in and out without ever taking over. Careers, longevity, expectations, and how fans talk about performers versus what those performers actually give up. It's reflective without being sentimental, and blunt without trying to be edgy.
And because it's this show, it doesn't end without drifting into pop culture, nostalgia, and a few questions that absolutely did not need definitive answers but got debated anyway. Episode 187 is loose, opinionated, and very on brand.

Kliq This #186 is one of those episodes where Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver start in one place and end up everywhere, in the best way. Kev goes off on what's real, what's performative, and what people don't understand until they've actually lived it, whether it's politics, money, or the grind behind the curtain. And when the conversation turns to Becky Lynch, it turns into a legit "wait a second…" moment, because the gap between the TV character and the actual human being gets way more interesting than most fans ever get to see. There's also a run of wrestling talk that hits that sweet spot where it's not about "ratings discourse" or internet yelling, it's about why certain stuff works, why certain people feel like stars, and what WWE is quietly doing better lately. Plus: a brand new recurring bit gets introduced that immediately threatens to derail the entire show, and Nash is absolutely the last person on earth you'd want trying to keep it organized.
