Let me put this into words you might understand. . .

Oh, it’s happening Mr. Oliver.

Fellow wrestling Podcaster and host of International Object Sawyer IO came to us with the softest of soft ball pitches.

At it’s core much of this show is an ongoing discussion on the many ways of telling a story.
In that sense we have been given a fat juicy slop steak of a meal today with that pillar of broadcast television, the American Soap Opera!

Ella Tailor (Wednesday Night Fake Fights) has a Theory of Everything

Bugs Maytrix (Podatag Podcast, Attic Magic) has a Magic Card for Everything.

Together we are going to prove that Everything is Wrestling.

There is literally grappling. . .

This week Beowulf expert, Summer Santos Webber ( aka TS-Eliot, @ts-eliot@bsky.social, SaintRidley on cashapp, venmo, and paypal) take Ella and Bugs on an epic journey that is likely to cause very little discourse, though is indeed Sexless as Matt Damon on an Island with Charlize Theron for 7 years apparently.

Normally I’d allude to the ways in which Beowulf is Graps but it would be easier to ask HOW ISN’T BEOWULF WRESTLING?!

The best part of “Believe” is the Lie. . .

Author of Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America, Podcaster of X-men and uhhh let’s go with everyone’s favorite broad abroad Josephine Riesman (josie.zone) is here for a conversation several years in the making.

In 2023 Josie laid out how professional wrestling and the art of Neokayfabe has shaped our politics and planted the seed in Ella’s brain that is this very podcast.

On this episode we discuss what that meant and more importantly what it means now.

Plus, a way to support those using Kayfabe to fight back against the Fascists that have used the Sport of Kings to attempt to appoint one.
