It's our last episode before our November break and boy do we have senioritis. After a long chitchat time about Unitarians for some reason, we get down TO it. AEW presented FRIGHT NIGHT this week, and it was truly a theatre of the absurd. We cover Mark Davis's big return in his "running to 7-Eleven" fit, OC's promo on how children don't understand true grief, baby lion cubs Private Party finally proving they're big predators who can DEFINITELY take down the Bucks. Plus Darby descends from the rafters, and Malakai is now doing close-up magic. A++, AEW, thanks for the glorious send-off!

Chuck Taylor got dead-wife murdered this week, and thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers in these exhilarating times. So yeah, this weekâs episode goes long! We talk through exactly how it happened in loving detail, and really get into the best-friend-destroyed-heroâs-journey of it all. Were they roommates? Yeah! Are we horny about it? You bet your sweet bippy! Some people didnât enjoy this week in AEW, but for us, it gave us everything we could ever need: Kyle Fletcher shaving his head over his feelings for Will Ospreay, Shelton Benjamin impressing us solely through good wrestling, and on top of that? Christian and the Patriarchy did things so confusingly sexual that we were honestly floored. Itâs another week of Tunnel Talk!

Itâs our post-Wrestledream episode and AEW is UNDER attack from hooligans in a pickup truck! We discuss the MULTIPLE patricides that took place this week, and the moms who just watched it happen. Plus Adam Cole came back and tried to sell us a story about evil being good sometimes, Ricochet became our biological son with one simple mispronounciation, and we give out the inaugural Best Behaved Boy award to our beloved new homeowner Dustin âNice Suitâ Chuck Taylor.

Surprise! The podâs out early because otherwise weâd have another lame duck podcast situation on our hands. Listen to our takes quick, before WrestleDream makes them all obsolete! We discuss the Moxley vs. Danielson feud and what parts of himself Bryan Danielson may not be comfortable with, plus Darbyâs manic-guy-on-bus energy and the difference between a good promo and an entertaining promo. Also Danny Garcia isnât leaving! The womenâs division might be backsliding! And you wonât predict who we talk about doing the wettest of kissing. Seriously â take a guess right now and see how that turns out. Welcome to Tunnel Talk!

The AEW/WBD deal has been signed and your girls are breaking down all the details--the equity stakes, the YOY implications and more. Join us for a rousing fiscal analysis conversation as we--lmao, can you even imagine? What a goof. No, we talked about the normal stuff, like whether Claudio is tailoring his shirts for better boob contouring. We know our niche!

Big announcement: Tunnel Talk has merch now at chopped-tees.com! Go pick some up quick! Here!
This week we delivered what I would call a "normal" episode. We graciously allow the ROHheads to have their fun with Nigel/Danielson, we talk through Mox and Darby, we celebrate the Young Bucks and their good match and their mind-blowing sartorial choices. Mariah and Mina are giving us the lesbian drama we so crave, and don't worry, we definitely somehow got distracted talking about James FitzJames and the Terror for like 20 minutes as we filibuster the ending of our own podcast.

Every Sunday, Tunnel Talk triumphantly publishes an episode weâre proud of and worked hard on. This week, we decided to do something a little different. This episode is not good. The girls incoherently discussed the developments in the BCC, tried valiantly to make any sense at all while covering Mariah and Mina, absolutely misremembered half of the Elite storylines, and I think somehow lurched through vague thoughts on Ricochet, Hangman, and OC. Look, weâre allowed to have bad weeks. Just skip this one.

The girls were exhausted this week but brought a real Friday night party energy to the pod, where we could NOT stop from circling back on our billionaire vanity project, a wrestling promotion that shows only at our very special and VERY popular gas station. So thatâs fun. We also talk through what makes for a sexy storyline (and itâs NOT copying what other people are doing) as we review the highs and lows of All Out. Swerve and Hangman were soooooo violent and sooooo sexy, Mox was sooooo violent and sooooo sexy, Willow and Kris were â well, you get it. Yeah, we like the sexy murder pay-per-view for freaks!

The girls are back together and JUST in time as Hangman burns down Swerveâs house in the most romantic way weâve ever seen. Not to be outdone, Mox shows up and sexually rewires little Jack Perry, and we overheated about it. Plus MJFâs turkey hair was NOT worth his money, Okadaâs Continental Congress better yield some fun results, Matt Jackson took down his lovely hair for us, and weâre starting a wrestling company that airs only on gas station pumps. Enjoy!

Anne is out this week, and we had our bestie James Boyd help us tackle the electric events of last weekendâs All In and this weekâs abrupt lurch towards All Out. Our cold, drizzly, British summer has given way to the SEXIEST autumn imaginable as Swerve finishes up his feud with Danielson and immediately admits to sitting outside Hangmanâs house for hours just to get a glimpse. Whoâs doing it like them? Plus Mox is home from his long voyage on the seas ransacking royal navy ships, Ricochet goes here now, and we guess Dax Harwood is better than Hitler. Itâs a good one!

Itâs a punchy one this week as the girls discuss the run up to All In! What a strange and inadequate build most of these matches have had. We get into what worked and what didnât with MJF and Ospreay, and big ditto for Bryan Danielson and Swerve. Heel patriotism, MJF? During the summer of the Olympics and the newly revitalized DNC?!? Bad timing, brother. And otherwise, what donât we talk about? The Hangman interview, a BTE obituary, a wrestling game where you lose health points as you try to convince your stars to lose matches, and of course, Minnesota senior senator Amy Klobuchar.

It was an enjoyable week of wrestling and BOY, does that go a long way when it comes to our tolerance for nonsense! Which Bryan Danielson is still mostly providing on the main event scene, but we felt more charitable towards it this week and hey: he tried. (Sort of.) But Swerve is doing the work all by himself, and you know what else we got to see? Mercedes and Shida, opening Dynamite! Mariah May cutting a promo thatâs an all-timer! The Young Bucks, wrestling! Finally, some treats for girls!!

The girls are feeling AWFULLY targeted by the booking decisions on AEW this week, so we take a speed run through most of it, pausing to discuss how Swerve is carrying the entire upper card on his back, Toniâs making break up graphics to spam her tumblr with, Orange Cassidy is acting OUT, and Sweetie boy Kyle is trying his very best to understand Ospreayâs new code of ethics. After that, we play a game called, âHey Tony, booking tag teams isnât THAT hard!â

This week in AEW, Bryan "Rafiki from Lion King" Danielson was in the moment and preaching the gospel of stability and emotional balance. Disgusting. Your girls breakdown that promo and also compare the success of Swerve's response! Then we turn our attention to two gladiators who have never fought each other for us before: Darby and Hangman. We are at our leisure to see that again. Plus Mariah elaborates on her motivations, Kyle Fletcher defends his big brother with all the fire in his sweetieboy heart, we ADORE the new tag men MxM, and for the love of god, will SOMEONE get Orange Cassidy an appointment with a guidance counselor?

Wrestling is in a summer slump, but this week we had BLOOD N GUTS, BABY, and it reinvigorated us! The girls spend waaaaay too much of the podcast talking through that match and the related stories, because we deserve it! We also discuss a frankly inexplicable promo where Jeff Jarrett (??) tries to inspire (???) Bryan Danielson, why Swerve vs. Danielson isnât working, and how weâre going to off ourselves if they make us watch Bucks vs. FTR AGAIN at Wembley. But the womenâs division is doing great and Swerve and Hangman? Theyâre going to make us [redacted] [redacted] until we [redacted].

Weâre back!!! Refreshed, rejuvenated, with our feelings now much smaller fish in their beautiful pond. And we tackled a week that â well, it couldâve been better, but it certainly couldâve been worse. Danielson is going to fight Swerve in the electric atmosphere of Wembley Stadium, and maybe someday theyâll start building that match. Meanwhile, the Blood n Guts build hasnât been that compelling but at least we got to see Nick Jacksonâs beautiful boobs â on twitter, not TV, because TV was busy spending one full hour on Ospreay fighting MJF. But while the men are phoning it in, the woman could not be doing better, and we are absolutely THRILLING to Mariah Mayâs brutal psychotic heel turn on Toni Storm! Plus, Mercedes and Britt are doing great work and Britt got to do a Big Old Fashioned Mask Reveal. Join us for this and so much more!
P.S. Weâre going to be on the Gateleapers podcastâs AEW episode being released on July 25! We didnât even embarrass ourselves that bad!

It's a big juicy PPV episode and we had a LOT to talk about. There was an epidemic of male tenderness sweeping AEW as rivals cradled each other post match and uhhhh yeah, your local freaks were into it! You know what else we were into? Mina and Toni settled their issues with a threeway kiss! And Hangman came back and was the meanest maddest heel ever before sexually menacing Matt Jackson! And Britt came back and her abs were incredible! And OC did some sexual exploration with Zack Sabre Jr.! Is that enough exclamation points?!?!

The Forbidden Door is wide open, and all our favorite boys from the camp across the lake are paddling on over! The girls discuss the arrivals of Zack Sabre Jr, Tanahashi, Ishii, Gabe Kidd and more guys we definitely recognize! Plus the Owen wildcard is making everyone loco in their brains, Toni, Mariah and Mina are making *us* loco in OUR brains, Mark Briscoe is making Kyle O'Reilly loco in HIS brain, and MJF is real mad not to be the prettiest boy at the party anymore. Hey, just tell us. Is this going okay?

It was a fun week in AEW and we hit the highlights, from the Young Bucks actually wrestling to Christian Cageâs Fatherâs Day tribute! Swerve and Ospreay did sexy sexy kissing pose, and so did Orange Cassidy and Zack Sabre, Jr, so thatâs right, boys, kissingâs back on the menu! The girls have of course had it covered the whole time, and Mariah, Mina and Toni brought even more weird psychosexual stew to the table with a big contract signing this week. Join us as we discuss that and so much more!
We're also going to be the â Poisonrana Podâ 's Charity Stream to â raise money for the Maddy Cusack Foundationâ on Saturday, June 29! We'll be appearing from 2:00-2:30 pm Eastern time, so tune in to watch us play some games and then donate to this great cause!
