THE HANG Episode # 4: Now With More Fiber! (featuring Brandon Overholser)

On Episode #4 of The Hang, titled “Now With More Fiber!”, the crew welcomes Brandon Overholser for another loose, unpredictable ride through wrestling, music, weed talk, old stories, and pure chaos. Hosted by Alex Jaffe, with J.R. Butcher, Uncle Frank, and the rest of the crew hanging out, this episode delivers exactly what the show promises: friends kicking back, watching wild wrestling clips, telling stories, and letting the conversation go wherever it wants to go.The episode opens with the usual smoke session and strain-of-the-week talk before diving into a notorious WWC Puerto Rico match between Manny Fernandez and Invader #3, including the infamous blood-vomit finish and the very questionable stories that have been told about it over the years.From there, the show rolls through a mix of segments, including Kendo’s JCW Match of the Week, featuring Tracy Smothers vs. Booker T from Juggalo Championship Wrestling, along with discussion of Tracy’s heat with the Juggalos, JCW history, and why Smothers was one of the absolute best at making a crowd hate him.The crew also talks music with a spotlight on Odd Squad Family, including their song “Smoke My Pain,” and Alex brings some high-class culture to the proceedings with a dramatic reading of “Disco Duck” that somehow makes perfect sense in the world of The Hang.A big part of the episode centers around Brandon Overholser’s history in wrestling, his battles with the New Mexico Athletic Commission, outlaw wrestling stories, and the upcoming Sunflower Festival in Mountainair, New Mexico. Brandon also shares the story behind uploading and preserving a rare American Kickboxer / Tarek the Great match from Japan, leading to a full breakdown of Tarek stepping into a kickboxing-style fight with only a week of training.Uncle Frank also shares a personal and genuinely great story about working with The Iron Sheik, including why he refused to embarrass one of his childhood heroes, how he made Sheik feel like a world champion, and the unforgettable post-match invitation to smoke “good marijuana” with the legend himself.This episode is part wrestling watch-along, part smoke session, part music hangout, part road-story collection, and part “what the hell did we just watch?” If you like your wrestling podcasts polished and professional, this probably ain’t the one. But if you like friends talking wrestling, trading stories, laughing at nonsense, and somehow tying together Manny Fernandez, Booker T, Odd Squad Family, Tarek the Great, The Iron Sheik, Jerry Lawler, and Disco Duck in one episode, The Hang Episode #4 is exactly where you need to be. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
