Jesse Klein takes a break from his endless quest to find the meaning of jazz to try to convince Stephen to love wrestling with the match that’s meant to steal the show, TLC II: Edge & Christian vs The Hardy Boyz vs The Dudley Boyz from WrestleMania X-Seven. Jesse points out all the great set up being done in this match how it’s true team work the whole way through, which includes the story of Edge’s balls getting destroyed. Seriously. And, Stephen admits to being super impressed with the Dudley Boyz entrance, until he realizes that Bubba Ray Dudley is just Will Sasso. Plus, Nick brings back some of our favorite characters, Kid in a Bag, Larry The Cable Guy Stuck in a Vent, and Toilet Fish. Plus we talk about Mae Young going through a table which causes an uncomfortable to watch Dudley orgasm. Plus, we watch a second clip where William Regal screams defending that poor boy. And Stephen that gives a rating that makes everyone go WOAHHH!

This week, the boys welcome writer, comedian and old pal Adam McCabe (Bangarang @ UCB, Detective Detective Detective) to the show to examine an individual that proves to be a truly confounding enigma for Stephen: the luchador enmascarado La Parka. From his over-the-top ring entrance set to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to getting squashed by Goldberg in WCW and even punching a fan, the chosen clips are just a little too much for Stephen to handle, let alone comprehend. Plus, Adam also talks about how good La Parka is at selling the comedy in his matches and segments - including comparing his work to that of the Looney Tunes - which Nick agrees with, only adding to the perplexity.

In this week’s episode, Nick and Stephen welcome writer and actor Ben Rodgers (Workaholics, Action Boyz, Hollywood Masterclass) to the show to talk about ECW, with the main highlight being the absolutely bonkers Scaffold Match between Tommy Dreamer and Brian Lee from ECW High Incident 1996. Plus, Stephen gets a sampling of other key crazy ECW moments including the infamous chair throwing incident and the night the ring collapsed. Also, Ben talks about spending time in the ECW arena and witnessing many of these insane moments in wrestling history live in person. And, on Ben’s recommendation, we watch Ted DiBiase kick a basketball out of a kids hands, and it’s nothing short of poetry. Also, Stephen pits Nick and Ben against each other in a game of Rocket League, the racing/soccer hybrid video game that Nick thinks sounds stupid, but then immediately enjoys.
