This week we’re joined by The Modern Day Outlaw, Chandler Hopkins.

We sit down with Chandler to talk about his roots, his football career, how he found his way into professional wrestling, and the road that led him from selling cars to chasing his dreams in the ring. We also discuss his time with Reality of Wrestling, character changes throughout his career, some of his biggest pet peeves, and plenty of stories from inside the wrestling business.

It’s a fun, honest conversation with one of wrestling’s rising stars that you won’t want to miss.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Moonshine Mantell, we go deeper than wrestling.

Moonshine opens up about the darkest chapters of his life, including his battle with drug addiction, the devastating loss of people who helped shape him, and the personal struggles that nearly consumed him. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about pain, consequences, survival, and the difficult road back when life feels like it’s falling apart.

We discuss the reality of addiction, the toll it takes on relationships and families, and the moments that forced him to confront the path he was on. Through heartbreak, setbacks, and self-destruction, Moonshine shares how he ultimately found purpose, redemption, and faith when he needed it most.

This isn’t a wrestling interview. It’s a story of loss, resilience, recovery, and the search for something greater than yourself when everything else seems lost.

Whether you’ve battled addiction yourself, watched someone you love struggle, or simply appreciate stories of perseverance, this is an episode that will stay with you long after it ends.

The story is real. The pain is real. The redemption is real.
