Cody Rhodes to launch podcast as part of WWE's partnership with Fanatics
Cody Rhodes will host an upcoming podcast as part of WWE's partnership with Fanatics, the company announced on Tuesday, days before WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
Rhodes' "What Do You Wanna Talk About" podcast will be sponsored by Wheatley American Vodka. The first episode will debut later this month.
"'What Do You Wanna Talk About' will feature Rhodes one-on-one with WWE Superstars across the WWE roster as well as WWE Legends as they share never-before-heard stories, discuss their career-defining moments and more," the company said in a news release obtained by Fox News Digital.
"The podcast expands on the Rhodes-led digital franchise which launched in July 2024 and featured interviews with Randy Orton, Bianca Belair and others, as 'The American Nightmare' traversed the country in his Wheatley-wrapped tour bus. New episodes will be available across all platforms as well as WWE's YouTube channel, which has amassed more than 107 million subscribers."
WWE said additional podcasts from other superstars and legends will be announced in the future.
Fightful Select first reported Rhodes' podcast last week.
Rhodes' podcast comes weeks after WWE and Fanatics announced "The Raw Recap Show," hosted by Megan Morant and Sam Roberts.
Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena at Allegiant Stadium on Night 2 of WrestleMania 41.
He has held the championship for more than a year after he defeated Roman Reigns. If Cena wins, he would set a record with the 17th WWE Championship reign of his career.

U.S. Open: What if these are the good ol' days?
Over the course of the next seven days, you'll see, hear and read a whole lot about the majesty of Oakmont — the depth of its viciously penal rough, the siren-like call of its Church Pews and Piano Keys, the miracle playoff between Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer in 1962 and the magnificent final-round 63 of Johnny Miller in 1973. That's what happens when you stage golf's toughest test at one of golf's finest, most revered courses — history swirls and surges, resurfacing memories of past glories and honoring the gods of the sport. Advertisement No sport worships its past with fanatical devotion quite like golf. If you've spent any more than 10 seconds around the game, you've heard of Nicklaus and Palmer and Tiger Woods and all the other goliaths who strode the fairways of Oakmont and its fellow legendary tracks. The implication in all this reverence is obvious: Golf's greatest days are in the past. Today's players might play the same holes, but they're nowhere close to the icons on the sport's Grand Leaderboard. Allow me to offer a different perspective: What if these are the good ol' days we'll be talking about decades from now? What if this is another golden age, and we can't see the glow because we're too close? Advertisement Granted, no player today can match the breadth of popularity of Arnie's Army, or the ruthless brilliance of Woods, or the all-encompassing excellence of the Golden Bear. But consider what we do have in this era: • A generational player in Scottie Scheffler who's drawing comparisons to the career trajectory of Woods and Nicklaus. It's way too early to put him in their class, but with every win, every major, he stays in the hunt. • An icon in Rory McIlroy who just engineered maybe the finest morality play in the game's history, a journey from the mountaintop to the depths of the underworld and back to the mountaintop. • A fascinating conundrum in Jon Rahm, a Hall of Fame-level talent who may have made the most foolish career decision in golf history. Advertisement • A trailblazer in Bryson DeChambeau, who's creating an entirely new brand framework for a professional athlete, combining talent, showmanship, social media savvy and niche obsessiveness in a way few people in any entertainment field have managed. • A competition in the Ryder Cup that grows more vibrant, crucial and popular every time it comes around. • A thriving golf ecosystem that extends beyond the PGA Tour of Palmer, Nicklaus and Woods to encompass everything from LIV Golf to YouTube influencers to an energetic independent golf media. Consider DeChambeau, for instance — his day job is as a LIV player, his most notable inside-the-ropes performances come at majors, and he's a YouTube star. (His Oakmont preview racked up more than 2 million views in its first four days.) The world of golf continues to grow … just not in a way that, say, Arnie's Army would have expected or predicted. Bryson DeChambeau reacts after winning the 124th U.S. Open Championship at Pinehurst No. 2 a year ago. (Photo by Tracy Wilcox/PGA TOUR via Getty Images) (Tracy Wilcox via Getty Images) It's all too easy to focus on the infuriating distractions, the obsession with purse sizes, the petty factionalism and bureaucracy that have shredded golf over the past four years. And yes, many of those tasked with protecting this game and shepherding it forward have sacrificed long-term stability for short-term pocket-stuffing. Advertisement But as the latest major arrives, take a look at what we've seen over the last few years in the sport's biggest moments. Scheffler, McIlroy, Rahm and DeChambeau racking up victories. Dramatic finishes that raise spring and summer Sundays to the level of art. Epic tournaments — like Pinehurst 2024 and Augusta 2025 — that will rank among golf's greatest ever. Regardless of what's happening outside the ropes, the game, and its best players, are rising to meet the moment. Another Oakmont element you're likely to hear often this week: club president W.C. Fownes' (alleged) declaration that at Oakmont, 'a shot poorly played should be irrevocably lost. Let the clumsy, the spineless, the alibi artist stand aside!' That admonition applies to the game outside Oakmont, too. Golf's best are stepping up and delivering, major after major. I'd say we should hope this glorious run continues this week … but at this point, I pretty much expect it.

Nintendo Switch 2 lacks a YouTube app at launch — but it's coming ‘soon'
The Nintendo Switch 2 is proving to be a very capable game console. Our Switch 2 review in progress is filled with praise for Nintendo's latest hybrid system. However, one notable omission from the console's capabilities is the absence of a YouTube app. Thankfully, YouTube fans won't have to wait too long to get an app, as Google-owned YouTube says it's coming "soon." The official YouTube X account posted that the company is working with Nintendo to bring the app to your Switch 2, as spotted by 9To5Google. "We're working with Nintendo to make YouTube available on the Switch 2 soon," reads the post. Currently, the YouTube app is available on the original Switch console, so it's not a stretch for the follow-up to have access to the popular video streaming app too. However, it's worth noting that it took more than a year for the app to launch on the Switch — hopefully, YouTube and Nintendo are quicker this time. It's interesting that the original YouTube app isn't compatible with the Switch 2, as plenty of games and other apps have made the jump between generations without issue. It doesn't seem like there'd be anything prohibiting the YouTube app from working, but there could be something else preventing the original app from running. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Of course, this announcement comes after we heard that Hulu and other streaming apps wouldn't work on the Nintendo Switch 2, which clearly shows that Nintendo intends for the Switch 2 to be a gaming device first.
