It’s the our last February episode and thank god for that.  Your girls were a leeeeeettle distracted this week, and conversations ranged a lot of new and interesting places, like our relationships with our mothers, the identity of the NHL commissioner and our new concept of a private figging stable for boys.  But we did manage to buckle down and get to a really fun week in wrestling.  Hangman and MJF put on a MASTERCLASS, and we attack their promo like the english lit nerds that we are.  Plus, Toni’s champ again to some of the pod’s surprise, Harley’s inspired Allie to make herself a puppet, and Will Ospreay and Adam Cole are NOT thrilled Orange Cassidy’s back.  Grab some smelling salts and join us!

Some storylines at AEW aren't succeeding as well as others, but between Toni-Mariah and Hangman-MJF, we got LOTS of meat on the bone this week. Just a lot of juicy juicy psychosexual characterization meat on these ole bones! Plus, guess who came back? Guess who everyone in the iwc was most excited for? That's right, we saw our son Dustin Chuck Taylor again! Looks like February might be worth it after all.

What a fun week in wrestling! Your girls had a GREAT time with this week in AEW! How could we not? Toni made Mariah SPIN out before our very eyes! Hangman's gone weak for Swerve! Ricochet put on a CLINIC on how great character work enhances your in-ring! Will is SO proud to show off his very best friend! Even the slightly less good stuff was still super fun to discuss--we cover Mark Davis's return, Dustin Rhodes's improbable existence, Cope's deeply unfortunate hair, and Jericho's bleary hangover look. Join us!

It was a sleepy little filler week in AEW, but there was still some fun stuff to talk about. Toni Storm revealed her amnesia was the performance of a lifetime, to our delight! Hangman barged into Swerve's dressing room, obviously looking for some sloppy makeouts! Ricochet wore a capelet! Mox and the Death Riders were not thriving inside a midwestern cellar! Will Ospreay threw his body over Kenny Omega's! Look for the helpers, everyone...

And we're back! It's a strange, fractious time to be a wrestling fan, but if you know ONE thing about us, it's that we've GOTTA have our fun. We start off celebrating Will Ospreay finally finding the friend he was desperate for in Kenny. Proud of you, bruv. Then, the Hurt People need to figure out who the hell they are, Mariah's indicting all of us for being complicit in Toni's derangement, and the former House of Black is sooo proud of their barking. Plus we discuss Goofus (MJF and Jeff Jarrett) and Gallant (Hangman and VPCD), and take a firm stand on cults (bad). God it's good to be home.

Finally, your girls get to react to the greatest triumph of our time as podcasters—the Young Bucks took their shirts off, and it was GLORIOUS.  Plus, Kenny’s BACK baybee, Will Ospreay is a friendship slut, the Hurt People are a tag team after all, and the old men of AEW are absolutely wildin’ out. Take off your shirt, and get on in here!

We're off next week but our episode with Sir Sam at AEW Match Guide will be airing! Join us for an UNHINGED episode devoted to Arcade Anarchy on January 15th!

We might not be back to feeling normal yet after our big Young Bucks interview, but the episode format? It's back to normal, baybee. Did we process that much of what happened at World's End? Maybe not, but we're here to discuss it anyway, along with what trends we want wrestlers to consider "In" for 2025, and what we'd like them to usher "Out." We talk Continental Classic, we talk Kenny's big return, we talk Cope, and oh yeah, what everyone's been waiting for, we talk Jeff Jarrett! All this and more on this week's Tunnel Talk!

Record-breaking multi-time "Mommy's Little Ham" award winner Matthew Jackson and the Diet Coke Daredevil himself Nicholas Jackson join your hosts for a girls chat about Dynasty, fashion, bikinis, and getting touched for the very first time. None of that is a fever dream. It really happened.

It's the Winter Christmas Collision Crash Smash Bash for the Fallen time at AEW, and your girls are just trying to keep up! As Anne eerily predicted, Toni's gone full amnesia mode and we could not be happier about it. Ricochet has revealed his secret dork ass self and he's NEVER been more over with us. Plus Darby and Ospreay took us out of this WORLD, The Bucks turned up to delight us, and Adam Cole and MJF did passably fine for once! A very Merry Christmas to us all!

Everyone's sober, prepared, and back in rhythm this week, and it's never felt so good! Your Connie girls talk about why this year's tournament simply isn't reaching the heights of last year — it's called emotional stability and it's disgusting. Luckily we've got Orange Cassidy and his proclivities to get us through these trying times, not to mention the time capsule that Will Ospreay's straightened floppy '90s boy hair put us into. Plus, we're attracted to Chris Jericho, we're NOT attracted to Matt Cardona, and we're SO worried about our son Kyle O'Reilly and the horrifying normalization process that's taken him over.
