S1E11: Season One Finale w/Guest: Producer Tom Yungerberg

We did it! We took Thanksgiving off! But we also watched ten great wrestling matches over the past couple of months with a bunch of great non-wrestling fans... but what did we learn?

Joining us on hosting duties is Producer Tom who guides us through a discussion regarding our findings (or lack thereof) from Season 1. Join us next week for our off-season, where we'll be doing short episodes just talking rasslin' and have some goofs!

S1E10: Ric Flair vs Sting w/Guest: Ryan Saucier

/

We're going to Disneyland and we're going to ride Space Mountain! It isn't actually the oldest ride and right now the deliciously 90s Nightmare Before Christmas has the longest line (or the Cars ride), but on our way there we ran into former professional body-builder and excellent bassist Sting and now he's showing us his first big world title match against the Nature Boy Ric Flair from the first Clash of Champions! Wowzers!

Joining us on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is Imzy's own Ryan Saucier and he's going to tell us how we somehow ended up in hell and why it's made of cardboard.

Apologies for stretching this analogy out and for the delays in posting this podcast!
