Grab your coffee (and make sure it has a spill-proof slider lid), because the boys are back to tackle life’s most important, totally unprompted questions.
In this episode, the hosts dive headfirst into the nostalgic world of professional wrestling—paying tribute to the legendary viral clip of a tearful fan shouting, "It's still real to me, damn it!" They break down the death of kayfabe, classic over-the-top 90s character gimmicks (from Irwin R. Schyster to The Undertaker), and why modern wrestling could use a little less high-tech glamour and a lot more old-school grit.
