Strap yourselves in for what might be the most adorable episode yet. Before listening to the episode that we recorded with the future of wrestling himself, Money Miguel, tune in to this bonus episode where we meet his two biggest fans - Aaliyah and Juelz. These two are SUCH huge fans that they travel to every show with him, know him inside and outside the ring, and even live under the same roof as this future superstar. These two, of course, are the future super stars younger siblings and boy do they have a lot to say. We discuss our potential for making Santa's nice list this year, as well as discuss our favorite types of balloons. Call a dentist because this might be the sweetest thing Double Up has ever recorded and we have not even gotten to our interview with Money himself!
Twin Cities Double Up makes its debut at Iron Heart Pro and who better to kick off the new series than the one they call "Your Savior" - David Ali. This man has been a pillar of Iron Heart Pro Wrestling in Rosemount, MN and proves that raw talent combined with hard work and dedication make the ultimate force in the ring. Speaking of rings, we were able to squeeze this interview in just before him and the Killer Bae Heather Monroe exchange rings and become husband and wife. The interview takes a turn when Icarus Alexander crashes the set to usher a warning to all of Iron Heart and we hear a troubled David Ali respond to an incident involving Royal Flavuh and a pair of brass knuckles in the ring.
After months of transitioning, we finally get the soft launch of Twin Cities Double Up and who better to kick off the series then our good friend Steve from I Still Call It a Lariat. Though the Cole Mind may have died, our friendship remains very much alive as we catch up on the shows recent wave of big interviews and hear about what's in store next. We also pick Steve's brain regarding the wrestling industry as Mister Brock has officially begun his training at The Academy and is ready to absorb everything he can from the pros who went before him. Tune in for the beginning of a yearlong saga of interviews with local eccentrics while Mister Brock makes his way to the ring.
Mister Brock stays true to his word and heads to Dee Mack's chair for a tattoo. To add to the fun, we are joined by one of the most widely hated man in independent wrestling Johnny Oxbow. We have wanted to get an interview with Johnny for a while and what better place to conduct this interview than shirtless in the middle of a crowd of people while getting poked with needles. The interview seems to go off without a hitch until strange rumblings lead to tragedy and we witness the death of the ever-popular Cole Mind podcast.
We begin day two at the Ink Fusion Expos with a missing Meko and fire in our hearts. Dee Mack from the Black Label Collective tattoo shop in Duluth, MN joins us for our first interview of the weekend. He doesn't disappoint with a round of rapid-fire burning questions and seeds are planted for a future on air tattooing of Mister Brock. Will Mister Brock stay true to his word and get an on-air tattoo? As always you will have to tune in to fine out!
Meko and Mister Brock head to Danbury, WI for one last ride under the Cole Mind banner. This is the weekends we decided to exit the Cole Mind and return to reality where we could have real interviews with fascinating people in the community. We start this journey by interviewing a few of these very individuals at the first ever Ink Fusion Expos tattoo convention. Krissy and Dan from Three Tentacles in Hayward, WI join us for our first interview of the weekend, and we are even graced with a surprise drop in guest named Ben Jones. Who is Ben Jones? No idea but with a name like that you know he has to be a pretty cool guy.
We have reached the finale of our concert series as we pack up for the summer and it appears the sun is setting on the Cole Mind podcast. Another week without Cole and a whole special series void of his presence has the boys wondering if it is time to move on. A chance encounter with Yelawolf to end the night, however, keeps our hopes alive and inspires us to continue on with the podcast regardless of the form it takes. All of these recent episodes have been in preparation for our biggest opportunity yet as we co-host the Ink Fusion Tattoo Convention at the end of the month. Tune in for our special three part series live from the event where we interview local artists and perhaps even get a little ink of our own.
We are slowly inching towards the final days of Cole Mind as we come to you, once again, live for our final show in the concert series. This time, we record live from Yelawolf and for the first time actually get the chance to meet the artist! This two-part concert series finale concludes with the boys meeting the man himself and realizing that just because he's got "yela" in his name, doesn't mean this guy is a coward. Tune in to hear us interview guests who have come from all over to check out this innovative artist and see who has what it takes to hang with the crew of Twin Cities Double Up!
Meko and Mister Brock continue their show live from Iron Heart Pro Wrestling with an interview with a Ref who gives us his take on working the business. We get commentary over the main event matches and believe we all grow a little from our deep insightful conversations.
Our favorite blood spitting, tights wearing, highflyer returns for another interview as he sits on the sideline during the Iron Heart show at TruPlayerz in Rosemount, MN. We get to meet the only woman in the world that could tame Icarus and we hear his commentary as we watch some great matches. Who does Icarus currently have beef with and what does he have lined up in the future? Tune in to find out as we come to you live from Iron Heart Pro Wrestling!
