We get to talk fandom, his passions, and so much more in this episode. We kick things off with the dual threat of Marvel and DC.<\/p><\/blockquote><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We kick things off with the dual threat of Marvel and DC. We stay mostly in the realm of the movies, talking about the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe. We talk about his favorite characters, favorite movies, and I catch him off guard when I ask him to form his own Avengers team. We talk about the upcoming DC slate of movies and more. (This was recorded prior to Deadpool &amp; Wolverine&#8217;s release)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, we journey into the realm of Professional Wrestling. Emmanuel talks about what drew him to Pro Wrestling, the time period that he grew up watching wrestling, and some of his favorite wrestlers. While the focus is mostly WWE, we do touch on AEW briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it&#8217;s time for\u2026 musicals?! That&#8217;s right, Emmanuel is a big fan of musicals. We talk about some of his favorites, but then the conversation swerves into unexpected territory &#8211; and I will not spoil it here. You have to listen to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wrap things up with a conversation about Cosplay. Emmanuel talks about his first steps into the world of Cosplay as a Power Ranger here in Orlando, and then taking the big steps in the Big Apple. He talks about some of his favorite characters and cosplays, and some of what he has planned for the future. And I&#8217;d be remiss if we didn&#8217;t share some love about The Real Assemblers too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find Emmanuel at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_samoan_lone_wolf\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_samoan_lone_wolf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@the_samoan_lone_wolf\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@the_samoan_lone_wolf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find The Real Assemblers at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/therealassemblers\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/therealassemblers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stumbling across members of The Real Assemblers earlier this year, I was pleased to have Emmanuel aka The Samoan Lone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast-episode"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/talesfromthefandom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_3136-e1722219234776.jpg?fit=1284%2C874&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8zDtl-1pj","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5413\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5415,"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5413\/revisions\/5415"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
