In this episode of the podcast Joe provides you with an extra special "rewind" edition of the podcast. Instead of providing a "Best of" episode or replaying an older episode again, we bring you a previous episode of a different podcast, Hellbound. Joe was a guest on this podcast back in June of this year. Joe and former DTALKS guest Lara Whitley discussed the heartbreaking tale of The Von Erich family. Known as legends both in the wrestling world and in the Dallas, TX area this family suffered more tragedy than most. Take a listen as Lara & Joe cover the story at length. About this episode of Hellbound Joe joined the podcast to talk about the Von Erich family. They were a wrestling family in the 80s in Texas and all but one have died an extremely tragic death. This story is so crazy interesting. It's an incredibly heartbreaking example of how damaging unaddressed mental illness can be.
