It's Like a Podcast or Whatever

HB and the gang welcome long time hero and first time guest, Tre the Smooth Operatin' Gangsta.  Tre is an independent wrestling legend and inductee of the New England Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame Class of 2019.  He sits with the Bane Man to talk about his time training with the late great Killer Kowalski, how rap got him booked on shows, his love for Batman and the time his mom was swept up in the magic of Professional Wrestling even though she said it was fa... nevermind. We can't bring ourselves to use the F word.  If anybody asks you, BTW stands for Black Talent'd Wrestlerz. Spread some peanut butter on a piece of bread and turn this one up in your headphones. 

In this episode of #itslikeapodcastorwhatever Handsome Bane and the returning Gorilla Monk venture to the Col. James Hartshorne House (est 1681) where we weren't sure if the Colonel was helpful on the underground railroad, but we DID meet a friend of a friend. Weare  joined by friend of the show @melysette and newcomer @bossbeautybynikki. We hang out at the @palegingerpub launch party and talk about chasing dreams into reality, proving people wrong as a fringe benefit of success and tattoos on breasts, but not the ones you might be thinking about.

The road was long and winding. But we've arrived at 100. Your reward for rocking with us this long? ASK ILAPOW 2!! 

Your hosts: Kat Chinetti, Handsome Bane and the returning Everyday Rogue!

The gang answers all of your random questions. They introduce a new bit. And finally, they all share their goals for the future of ILaPoW.

Then we take you back to Level Ground MMA gym where Everyday Rogue brings you Nancy, Obvious Nonsense and hey...is that...Franny!? Spoilers: it is. The ladies came out in full force to crown THE Fierce Fictional  Female Foursome.  OUR very best selects THEE very best in fictional sisterhood that media has to offer.  Does your favorite stand a chance?

Coming to you from the newest digs in Roxbury, the lads take the Mission Hill Health Center studio out for its maiden voyage. We introduce for the first time an old friend and new partner Eric Rivas of the Lifted Podcast. He gives us some insight to the great things he has done, is doing and will do in the community. He shares how he came by the new space and just how all that figures into ILaPoW, Lifted, Mission Hill, Level Ground and Hyphen Podcast Group. 

Then, after the boys eat their community vegetables, we talk comics and just nerd out.  We make up a couple new characters. We weigh fighting options in the X-Men world. And is Hot Girl Summer's reign of terror finally over? Can we just chill? Or go apple picking. Or Trick or Treating?  Is apple picking just Trick or Treating in nature? Some of these questions and more in THIS It's Like a Podcast or Whatever!

The Bane Man begins with an opening monologue copping mad pleas for the tardiness of today's pod. We definitely utilized the professor's grace period for late papers with this one.  He talks about his anniversary and the many new kidless hobbies he and his wife have picked up as of late. (They're sharing her hot girl summer).  He then issues a warning about the main part of the episode, THEATER FROM OUR BUTTS!  It's just the new name of the table reads that we've done so many of before. Now it's just official because it has a name. Bane kills Kayin over some money. Kit Kat faces Goofy in court and wins an Oscar. It will all make sense later. 

It's episode 96 on the road to 100 and it's a doozy. This time, Handsome Bane called in the Boss of the Hyphen Podcast Group, B. Hyphen himself along with his semi regular co-host and CFO of the HPG, THE Marc Rob(inson).  The two of them have been tasked with the Herculean job of answering one question; Which album is better, Childish Gambino's "Because the Internet" or Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, Mad City".  But rather than take each song from the two projects, they decide to take the top 5 MOMENTS from each and weigh them against one another.  Will the music be all that matters? Or will sequencing, storyline or even marketing be the deciding factor?  In the end, you will be asked to listen to each case and make a subjective and informed decision.  Put your thinking caps on because it doubles as a swim cap as we take this deep dive into two albums that set the bar really high in the early 2010s. Love trust and belief!

Look who the Kat dragged in! That's right, the lady of ILaPoW returns to the kingdom along with our darling Kit Kat to talk cosplay!  The ladies get into overrated as well as underrated female characters. They discuss cosplays they're tired of seeing as well as cosplays they would like to see more of. Possible group ILaPoW cosplay ideas get leaked.  And you get some recommendations for characters/books you might not be familiar with.  Enjoy the ILaPoW rendition of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn and episode 95 as much as we enjoyed recording them.
