Brace yourselves to enter the unique mind of one Jon Moxley.

When he was chatting to 'The Store Horsemen' podcast, the AEW and New Japan sensation likened his controversial appearance on Chris Jericho's show to an episode of Frasier. In one episode of the comedy, a dog named Eddie is totally depressed. When the cast find out he's depressed 'cause his favourite toy got stuck in the couch, they remove it and he's happy immediately.

That's how Moxley sees his situation. In WWE, he was deflated and his toy (happiness) was stuck in the couch (WWE's corporate structure). When he pulled it out and went back to doing his own thing, Jon was happy overnight. At the same time, he had some steam to blow off, and that's how the Jericho pod came about.

Moxley claims he couldn't do another podcast like that again. It was a one-off, and indicative of where his head was at post-WWE. All that emotion he was feeling poured out and manifested itself into rage. At least it made for one of the best wrestling podcasts ever. Every cloud, and all that.
