There’s been some really strong matches lately, not the least of which was Finn Balor’s effort against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title. There’s also a really promising rivalry coming up between Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace. But we haven’t been able to get excited about the Royal Rumble, mainly because of how poor the build to the show has been. What gives? And can WWE heat this thing up in a week? The Main Event: Wrestling Interview Shows Sometimes we just wanna take a break from all that wrestling on our wrestling show. That is when WWE makes a change in presentation and throws in the classic wrestler-hosted interview show. So let's talk about some of our favorites from over the years and what makes them work. The Three Count Danielle put over Jojoblacco. Lindsey put over Jade Cargill's interview skills. Hal put over John Cena making Bruce Prichard's Streak Baby.

[caption id="attachment_155496" align="alignnone" width="394"] (Photo: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)[/caption] At the very end of 2025, we lost Isiah Whitlock Jr. He was 71. He had been a working actor for a very long time. He got his first TV parts in the 80s, but started acting on stage well before then. Whitlock performed in movies like _Goodfellas_ and _Da 5 Bloods_. And was well known for playing State Senator Clay Davis on _The Wire_. When we talked with Whitlock in 2021, he was promoting the show _Your Honor_. A legal thriller starring him and Bryan Cranston that aired on Showtime for two seasons. During the conversation, he chatted with us about landing a role in _Goodfellas_ , how he came to embrace his signature catchphrase, playing complicated characters and much more. _A version of this interview originally aired in January 2021_

There are many transportation options in New York. It’s not all subways and taxi cabs that cut in front of you and make you yell about how you’re walking here like in that movie. There are also regular old cars, like the one comedian and writer Jordan Carlos has for getting around that city. He tells us in detail what that’s like, what the sky tram to Roosevelt Island is like, and how complicated things can get with local transportation bureaucracy if you accidentally drop your phone on a railroad track. Jordan is the author of _Choreplay: The Marriage-Saving Magic of Getting Your Head Out of Your Ass_ , which comes out next month, and he also shares with us the power of changing the toilet paper roll in making your relationship a successful one. Pre-order your copy of _Choreplay: The Marriage-Saving Magic of Getting Your Head Out of Your Ass_ by Jordan Carlos at the bookstore, online or brick and mortar, of your choice. Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you’d like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?
