How does one merge the art of Wall Street savvy with Main Street Wisdom? Rich Nuzum of Mercer, a subsidiary of parent company Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC), may have the answers. He goes Inside the ICE House to unpack how the company is transforming investing from a solo pursuit to a collaborative effort. He also discusses Mercer’s newest innovations, his corporate journey, and the results he’s looking forward to seeing from COP28.

Today we have a g-g-g-g-g-giant episode with a very special guest. He’s a TV legend, he’s an emcee, he’s one of the faces of the top bass fishing circuit in the world, he’s an underwater cinematographer, he’s.. Canadian, he's Dave Mercer! We sit down with Dave almost an hour and a half to get the full Mercer backstory, a fun peak behind the scenes at Bassmaster, and we learn a TON about fish behavior through Dave’s years and years of filming bass underwater.

I think it’s fair to say that most academics are guilty of using particular words on their essays and books that are generally understood by all, yet we rarely take the time to flesh out the definition of that word beyond a sentence or two because we’re too eager to make a bigger and flashier point. And when it comes to pornography studies, words and abbreviations like the “money shot,” “BDSM,” “gay-for-pay,” and “bareback” have been a part of the popular vernacular around the genre for so long, that we just utilize these terms based on their face value, and often fail to update or properly contextualize the terms. Pornographic language is so embedded in our discourse, that we don’t often do the work of defining it. Today’s guest—John Mercer—dedicates a large portion of his book doing exactly that, creating a glossary of terms utilized within popular and academic descriptions of gay pornography that give rich historical and culturally specific definitions of terms like “the boy-next-door,” “twink,” “daddy,” “the beautiful boy,” “the ‘fooled’ straight man,” “the international,” “the amateur,” and “the star.” Mercer is a professor at Birmingham City University and today we’re going to talk about his book, Gay Pornography: Representations of Sexuality and Masculinity, published by I.B. Taurus in 2017. What makes this book remarkable is how it works to establish a linguistic foundation for gay pornography studies moving forward. It’s perhaps the best introductory book for anyone looking to contribute to the porn studies cannon. In addition to defining terms, he also explores his concept of “saturated masculinity,” which for him, accounts for the multitude of ways gay pornographic aesthetics signify beyond the gay community, and in fact spread into heterosexual constructions of masculinity as well. Mercer is also one of the primary editors of the journal Porn Studies, and edited a special version of the journal titled “Gay Porn Now,” where he was kind enough to include my essay on Chris Crocker in the issue. In that issue, he wrote about a popular user created genre of poperbate videos, where the creator edits a porn video with music and prompts instructing the viewer to huff poppers at the appropriate moment. It is one of a series of user-generated porn videos that Mercer’s future research will cover extensively. In this episode we talk about how he actually had to travel to over counties to complete his dissertation because hard core gay pornography was still banned in England at the time. We talk about the hypocrisy of the Conservative Party in England when it comes to the issue to freedom, poppers, and gay sex. And he explains why the smell of old beer reminds him of gay porn to this day!

Iron sharpens Iron as Gregory Iron chats with Game Changer Wrestling's "The Iron Demon" Shane Mercer!

Whether it's power moves, lucha libre, backflips off the top, backflips from the top while holding another 300 pound human, or picking up an ENTIRE SET OF BLEACHERS to use them as a weapon, the 6'0" 220 pound Shane Mercer can do it all. Greg and Shane sit down for the first time to discuss Mercer's life and career.

Shane talks about his upbringing in Kentucky, coming up through backyard wrestling, buying a wrestler's license and becoming pro without any formal training, his love of video games, his views on psychology and love for "explosiveness" in pro wrestling, his incredible feats of strength and maneuvers that defy logic, refusing to follow the blueprint of life, ECW, The Undertaker, wrestling Hurricane Helms, and the importance of IWA-MS to him and professional wrestling.

Before the interview, Aaron debuts his own theme and talks about leading his team of young men and women to special olympic gold, Aaron and Greg answer more of your questions, and Greg rips apart a Hulk Hogan/Mike Tyson lie that upon further investigation.. has a bit of truth.
