In this episode Joe and John take over while Ellis tackles a nightmare job interview, leading to a chaotic mix of wrestling chat, life rants, and off-topic nonsense. From disastrous meal kits and supermarket frustrations to surprisingly futuristic translation tech, the conversation goes everywhere.
On the wrestling front, they dive into the shocking WWE releases (including New Day), AEW highlights featuring Darby Allin, Brody King, and MJF, plus the latest news and rumors shaking up the industry. There’s also a more serious moment referring to Rebel’s ALS diagnosis and her impact during AEW’s pandemic era.
Equal parts confusing & ridiculous—this episode blends wrestling analysis with nonsense, personal tangents, and the kind of chaotic energy you’d expect from two hosts left unsupervised.

This week, things go completely off the rails.
We kick off with technical issues, low energy, and a mild existential crisis before spiralling into strange charity shop vinyl finds, disappointing exhibitions with no gift shop, questionable purchases, gaming frustrations, and driving lesson chaos.
Then the tone shifts as we dive into wrestling talk—covering a shocking fan incident at an indie show, the boundaries of fan behaviour, and the latest news, rumours, and updates from AEW and WWE—plus an unexpected detour into Street Fighter films.
We also break down AEW Dynamite and Collision, including Omega vs Swerve, MJF’s current run, match highlights, bold takes, and plenty of nonsense along the way.
Unfiltered, unfocused, and full of tangents—just how it should be.

Ellis is finally back to review OPW shows with Joe!
In one the best shows they've done, OPW put on a stacked card kicking off with the OPW Champion, Rico Markus, defending against Joey Hayes which set the tone for the evening.
The Overboard Rumble was all action with stellar performances and storytelling throughout leading to RPD winning his first rumble and setting up the the trilogy match with Markus at War on the Shore as well as a returning Ryan Hunter Vs Teddy Reay.
Kollins and Grey fought to be the inaugural Morecambe Bay Championship in a hard hitting affair and emotional crowning, Reece and Rogan made a triumphant return to take the tag titles of Viral Connection and inject a bit of “poison” back into OPW.
Main eventing was Lana Austin winning her first OPW championship defeating Leah Raven in a falls count anywhere match which was the match of the night and included a tremendous run in by Hollie Barlow.
The title victory celebrations with Venga Boys dancing and a conga line was heart warming and a special moment to end the night.
