Professional wrestler Jay Joshua joins us to discuss trying to fit the title belt into his suitcase, his best ever sandwich, and why he's quite happy driving long distances by himself, actually...

We also covered Jay's favourite empty arena match, the wrestling chants he hates, and traumatic kids' movies. Honestly, just endless joy.

it's our final episode of 2025, and we've got some awards to dish out!!!

first, though, we're disappointed with MJF and with crowd responses to gross promos and the way all wrestling promotions book women.

but then we've got gremlins to count and listener awards to award.
