Tunnel Talk

The girls are still on their big November Break but we pre-recorded just a little something to throw on up here. This week, the girls sit down and talk romcoms--the rules of the genre, our top fives, and the wrestlers that should star in them. MISS YOU ALL, SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!

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 week’s episode goes long! We talk through exactly how it happened in loving detail, and really get into the best-friend-destroyed-hero’s-journey of it all. Were they roommates? Yeah! Are we horny about it? You bet your sweet bippy! Some people didn’t 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. It’s another week of Tunnel Talk!

It’s 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 “Nice Suit” Chuck Taylor.

Surprise! The pod’s out early because otherwise we’d 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 Darby’s manic-guy-on-bus energy and the difference between a good promo and an entertaining promo. Also Danny Garcia isn’t leaving! The women’s division might be backsliding! And you won’t predict who we talk about doing the wettest of kissing. Seriously — 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.

(1:36:13) Shibata vs Akiyama (requested by @black_urn on twitter)

Every Sunday, Tunnel Talk triumphantly publishes an episode we’re 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, we’re 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 that’s fun. We also talk through what makes for a sexy storyline (and it’s 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 — well, you get it. Yeah, we like the sexy murder pay-per-view for freaks!
