Will Sasso

On this episode of Lifelong, Ethan Suplee sits down with Will Sasso for a conversation that goes far beyond weight loss. Will has lived through the extremes—at one point weighing over 450 pounds, then losing more than 200. But as he explains, the real story isn’t the transformation—it’s what comes after. They get into the parts of this journey that rarely get talked about: the urge to hide food—and why it isn’t really about hunger the feeling of wanting control more than anything else how identity gets tied up in being “the big guy” and why changing your body doesn’t automatically change your mind This isn’t a before-and-after story. It’s a conversation about what it’s like to still be in it. If you’ve ever struggled with food, weight, or the push and pull between who you are and who you want to be—this one will hit.

The guys also reminisce about their favorite bags in "Bag Heads," revealing a lot more about their pasts than you might expect. And finally, Will shocks the world by confessing he's been wrestling-free for weeks in "Will Sasso Weedless and Wrestlingless," leaving fans wondering if the man can survive without his two favorite pastimes.

Will talks about his earliest wrestling memories. He shares amazing stories of working in the ring with Bret Hart, Steve Austin and Chris Jericho.

Follow Tales from The Attitude Era on all social media http://youtube.com/@TFTAttitudeEra http://twitter.com/TFTAttitudeEra http://instagram.com/TFTAttitudeEra http://tiktok.com/@TFTAttitudeEra Tommy Blacha made his name in Hollywood as a writer on Conan O'Brien, co-creator of Metalocalypse on Adult Swim, and a writer on shows like The Eric Andre Show and Da Ali G Show. But, a little-known fact about Tommy's career is that he was the head writer of WWE (WWF at the time)) during their most successful period, starting in 1999, taking over for Vince Russo, who left for the competition. This podcast, Tales from the Attitude Era will be a retrospective of Tommy's time in the head writer position and the roller coaster ride that is pro wrestling, co-hosted by Rob Pasbani.

Smalls https://smalls.com/dudesy Code: dudesy Rocket Money https://rocketmoney.com/dudesy Alright, buckle up, pals! In this episode, we kick things off with "Wrestling and Anime." I had Chad watch WrestleMania 3, and he dives into his thoughts on the epic Macho Man vs. Ricky Steamboat showdown. Meanwhile, I had Will check out Demon Slayer, and he can't stop raving about the stunning artwork. Then, in "Arnold's Faves," I dug into Arnold Schwarzenegger's Google Drive and found a gem called "My Faves." Will reads from it, impersonating Arnold as he lists his favorite "holes," from donut holes to black holes. It's pure comedy gold. Next up, "Drug Boys" gets philosophical. Will shares his cautious drug experiences, while Chad's all about those mind-expanding substances. Finally, we wrap it up with "A Standard Psychological Evaluation." I show Will and Chad some images and gather data based on their immediate reactions. It's another day of humor, nostalgia, and a sprinkle of wisdom. Get ready for a wild ride.

We dive into juicy wrestling predictions, chat about Chad's new couch and his cat's love affair with it, and even discuss the wild world of reality TV and why modern sports are just extensions of gladiator battles.
