Waffly Bollox

Not your usual Waffly Bollox content. This is a serious one: last year, we got sucked in by known cancer scammer Abbey Arthur, who befriended us and then lied to us in order to try to steal our money. And then, after she'd been outed, immediately came back to try again under yet another fake name.

We talked to the people who got caught up in her original cancer scam, we combed back through tweets to figure out how she tricked us, and we talked to a fraud investigator about his thoughts on her lies - and how to avoid getting scammed in the future.

Tweets not read by their original authors. (Except ours.)

Sincere thanks to @almostodiena, @SmarkInfested, @drfunkin, and @WrestleChaps for talking to us about this - plus the many many people who lent us their voices to help bring this story to life.

a bumper episode this week, because this week AEW went down under for Grand Slam, and also, Tony Khan gave us all the treats he could afford (which was a lot). our happiness meter filled up to 11 at one point.

still found some demands to make, mind you.

contrary to appearances, your girlies(gn) are actually very easy to please. show us our guys, make us laugh, and tell us a little story. oh, and if you want us to like someone we didn't like very much before, just have them be a bit pathetic and we'll open our hearts up right away.

we're very very into Hangman being plagued by Maxes, in short.

this week, we've lost patience with the Death Riders and we're fed up of complaining about the booking of the women's division (even though we're still annoyed about it) so we asked our Bluesky followers for some dilemmas and games and wow, they delivered.

for this special episode, we're joined by postmodern pro wrestler Liam Slater! Liam's the head coach at Pursuit Pro Wrestling in Sheffield, so we did ask him some sensible questions, but then we asked him about going to the supermarket, baby ducks, and which masked wrestler he thinks is the hottest. standard.

did this week's Dynamite have the best opening 15 minutes of any episode ever or is that just us? we're delighted that a certain program seems to have been dropped in favour of a different one, so hopefully Tony Khan isn't teasing us because we are very much ready for some proper psychological torture!!! also, some of our fave little guys seem to be starting a fraternity and we're a bit worried about what they might get up to...

it's that time of year again! nope, not time for New Year's resolutions - time for New Japan Pro Wrestling subscriptions! we watched Wrestle Kingdom 19 and then Wrestle Dynasty, the brand new collaboration between NJPW, AEW, ROH, CMLL and Stardom. was that a lot of wrestling for one weekend? yes. are we slightly delirious? also yes. but Kenny's back!!!! joy abounds. three hours of it.
