On the season 16 finale, Harley is joined by author, journalist, and former Incredibly Strange wrestler Bob Calhoun!

He discusses competing as Count Dante, Dante The Baptist, and... others... in ISW, where ISW existed within the wrestling ecosystem of the late '90s, finding himself as a commentator, favorite characters, and what he'd like the legacy of Incredibly Strange Wrestling to be.

It's the return of 20 Questions as Harley talks to "The Wicked Witch Of The Ring" Jay Alejandra about vegan food, why they live in North Carolina (and will never live in New Jersey), favorite gear, VHS tapes, untrained opponents, and animals rights activism!

Em, Harley, and Lindsay take a look at three women who surpassed patriarchal expectations to show that being hot doesn't mean you can't also wrestle.

In honor of Pride 2026, Harley sits Em and guest referee Brie Montoya down to tell them the story of forgotten San Francisco promotion Incredibly Strange Wrestling!

In 1995 a group of untrained wrestlers in a transmission repair shop put on bootleg lucha libre masks and adopt names like The Man From M.O.N.K. and Chango Loco, fighting each other between sets from local punk bands, while fans hurl corn tortillas at their head.

Within a few years they'll be featured in The New York Times and Teen People, tour Europe, attract members of Green Day and Limp Bizkit to their shows, and draw the ire of the Church of Scientology.  How did it all happen?

Em and Harley discuss episodes 5-8 of season one of Margo's Got Money Troubles, the complete first season now streaming on Apple TV!

It's the fourth annual women's wrestling draft and this year Harley and Em are joined by Danjerhawk and Razorhawk of Power Pro Lucha!

They compete to draft their own rosters, drawing wrestlers and broadcasters of marginalized genders from WWE, AEW, TNA, NWA, MLW, and the indies.  Who will be their #1 draft picks?  What themes will emerge?  Why don't any companies value tag team wrestling?  And where our horse girls at??

(Originally aired January 9, 2024.)
