Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast

Join Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver for another laid-back, no-filter conversation that dives deep into wrestling, life, and everything in between. Kevin opens up about the holiday season, the lure of huge lottery jackpots, and the reality of whether that kind of money would truly change his life. Sean keeps things lively with his anecdotes and takes on crowd behavior—because if you can’t laugh at a spontaneous sing-along or random flash mob, what can you do? From there, the duo veers off into the world of ring psychology and what actually makes a “worker” in the wrestling business. It’s not always about high spots and fancy flips, but rather believability, storytelling, and the subtle art of controlling a crowd. Kevin shares memorable stories of wrestlers who understood this craft perfectly, and others who learned the hard way about when to ease off the gas. The conversation also meanders through music, pop culture, and the strange quirks we develop over time—like how certain tunes can evoke powerful memories, or how a well-placed F-bomb can sometimes be the perfect exclamation point. You’ll hear Kevin recall moments that have shaped his perspective on performing, both in wrestling and in everyday life. Throughout it all, the trademark candor and camaraderie shine through, leaving you feeling like you’re just hanging out with two friends who have seen and done it all. It’s an unfiltered look at the finer—and funnier—points of wrestling, with plenty of tangents that only Kevin and Sean can deliver. Pull up a seat, hit play, and let the guys give you their honest take on everything from power moves in the ring to the real motives behind billion-dollar ambitions.

In this holiday-themed episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver take a heartfelt look at how the season has shifted for them over the years. Kevin shares memories of his family’s Christmas traditions and reflects on how holidays have changed since the passing of loved ones—especially how the house used to light up for his late son, Tristen. He also talks about his recent bicep surgery. He gives a glimpse into his world of recovery, complete with tips on mobility, dealing with post-op discomfort, and adapting to daily life while healing. Sean chimes in with plenty of laughs and good-natured ribbing, making even the more challenging topics lighthearted and fun to follow. The conversation swings toward their classic wrestling road stories—late-night drives through snowstorms, brushes with near-disasters, and the camaraderie shared among friends in the business. Kevin discusses the old-school grit that defined the locker room in his era, and he and Sean riff on how the sport has evolved into today’s style of performance and production. Between the tales of unexpected adventures behind the wheel, sharing holiday sentiments, and reminiscing about how wrestlers bonded on the road, this episode offers a warm and entertaining window into the holiday spirit and the enduring friendships that made it all worthwhile.

On this week’s episode of Kliq This, Kevin Nash sits down with Sean Oliver to recap what might be Kevin’s most grueling milestone yet—his 38th surgery. Kevin breaks down the details of the procedure, the challenges of post-op recovery, and what it means to bounce back at age 65. In between rounds of surgical talk, the guys riff on a range of topics including health supplements like bovine colostrum, the reality of pain management, and why getting older makes you eye anesthesia a whole lot differently. Kevin and Sean also dive into the lighter side of things—from the nostalgia of old WWF charity softball games to the evolution of sending out holiday cards (and how the “paper Christmas card” might be on the way out). Along the way, they laugh about old-school Detroit desserts, the art of manscaping before surgery, and the mystery of black curtains in AEW arenas. This is vintage Kevin Nash: honest, unfiltered, and surprisingly funny while recovering from a tough surgery. Whether you’re tuning in for wrestling stories, candid life updates, or just to hang with the guys, this episode proves that Big Sexy’s still got plenty left in the tank—even at surgery #38.
