Curtain Jerkers, Episode 37: BOTCHII-Mania

February 18, 2026

If you read nothing else of our show notes, please read this!

Our friend and universally beloved hardcore king – “King Ugly” to be exact – Jeff Cannonball was recently diagnosed with ALS. If you do nothing else, even if you shut off this podcast, we ask you consider to throw a few bucks at his GoFundMe, his family really needs everyone’s help!

On this episode, the Jerks get ROWDY talking Roddy with action filmmaker Tom Botchii, whose new movie Relentless is available to stream at Fandango, Prime, and all of the major VOD platforms.

The three discuss the late great Mr. Piper getting Tough and Deadly, much like Tom himself. Then, they switch gear to look at three distinctly different eras and matches with Roddy facing Playboy Buddy Rose, Ravishing Rick Rude, and Dustin “Golddust” Rhodes. A great time is had by all – in fact, in the matter of only a few minutes Tom is invited to be the third podcast co-host, an offer originally made in jest but fully real is he wants in.

Listen to the Jerks and Tom chat about all things Roddy, then go follow Tom on Instagram and watch his new film Relentless. The trailer is below:

Special thanks to Trais Colton Barhaug for the awesome logo and Justin’s long time friend, Kwalified, a diehard wrestling fan and dope emcee hailing from Hawaii, for our great intro song (even though we replaced with with Jericho covering a Kinks classic on this one).
