GREETINGS FROM THE QUARANTINE HOLE! Rachel coaxes Kirby from his sad boy quarantine gamer hole to catch up outdoors in this responsibly socially-distanced episode. In addition to talking about life in the age of COVID, we take time to touch on wrestling's #SpeakingOut movement as well as how promotions have been handling the virus. Also: bird sounds! Hi, we missed you!

(PRODUCTION NOTE: There's a little bit of audio weirdness due to equipment issues in the beginning and about halfway through.)

OH HEY WE GOT 2019 HUNK OF THE YEAR HANGMAN PAGE!!!! Rachel and Hangman sat down in Pittsburgh and shot the shit for two hours and he was to say the least, a dream. We love you Hangman. Congrats on being on TV.

David and Khris sat down with Rachel to explain Goldberg to her. Wow, that guy is big and it rules! We talk being big and yelling, silly entrances, DDP's insane talent, Magic Mike, ad reads, David's tinder options and much much more!

Rachel went on the road with Wheeler Yuta to not only watch Uncharted Territory but to talk to him for you all! We get into high school sports, meeting your idols, trampoline entrances, teaching your mom how to use instagram, who is secretly jacked, and much much more!
