Summary

In this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie and Nikki sit down with the endlessly charismatic Josh Segarra to talk wrestling dreams, Broadway roots, dad life, and his latest role in Fox’s Best Medicine. From starring in Abbott Elementary, She-Hulk, Scream 6, and The Other Two, to lighting up the stage on Broadway in On Your Feet, Josh has truly done it all, and somehow still makes time for school pickups and rehearsal at 4:30. We love a working dad king! Of course, we had to dive into his wrestling fandom. Josh shares how he grew up idolizing the Ultimate Warrior and why he’d absolutely say yes if WWE ever called. We’re already fantasy booking Sheriff Mark with handcuffs at ringside to help The Bellas snag those tag titles. Manifestation activated! And when it comes to comedy, Josh opens up about sharpening his tools on Broadway, honoring great writing, and how the best laughs often come from truth, not improv. He also gets candid about rejection, jealousy, overthinking, and dealing with online hate, dropping wisdom that honestly feels like its own form of best medicine. Between talk of Chinese food therapy, Frosty-and-fries debates, and heartfelt reflections on fatherhood, this episode is funny, grounded, and unexpectedly inspiring. Josh reminds us that comparison is the thief of joy, that overthinking is usually fiction we write in our own heads, and that sometimes the best cure is turning off the noise and going home to the people who love you. So whether you need a laugh, a pep talk, or just a reminder that you’re doing better than you think, you’re going to want to press play.

0:45.4	I mean, you, I mean, if I'm correct, you've been part of an wrestling indie show.
0:52.2	Oh, well, I have to tell you, I'm slightly embarrassed to
0:55.6	even talking to two of the goats right here. So I feel, I was part of, I was part of All In. I came

1:11.6	I hadn't even looked at the ring yet. Cody was like, you guys, you guys saw all the setup and everything. And just the adrenaline was pumping. So I was like, yeah, man, we're ready. Let's go. We were backstage and that music hit. And I came out and those lights were just blaring. and the crowd started and I didn't know there were

1:36.2	crazy experience you know but I'll never forget now being out there did it give you an itch
1:43.3	at all like do you see yourself ever coming to WWE and getting in the ring? Absolutely, but I'm going to be honest with you. I have so much reverence for what you guys do that I don't know if I'll ever be able to take like a proper bump. I don't know like if my neck can handle that or my back can handle that. So I'll get on a mic. I'll go out there and I'll take part any way they let me. But there's a there's a little bit of fear inside for sure. I know I know how hard it is. So I'm not, I'll get ready. I'll get ready for a couple months. I'll put a ring somewhere and I'll figure it out. To make sure that we can do it to the way it should be done.
