Episode 98: What's New, Battle Kat?

Brandon Stroud of With Leather and Progressive Boink is back for another round on the show. Did you know he wrote a movie? Meet Me There is filming now, but he took some time out to talk wrestling and other things. A lot of other things, actually. We set out to preview Extreme Rules, the ACW Prom, and Chikara's Tag World Grand Prix, but we took a lot of entertaining detours, including exploring Vegan poutine, Disney's attempted sexifying of Merida from Brave, a long line of Don Henley and Eagles-related puns, religions in India, the career of Dan Marino, and an explanation of the Tom Jones classic "The Young New Mexican Puppeteer." Oh yeah, and there was Avatar: The Last Airbender talk too, because of course there was. Wrestling-wise, we covered Austin Aries' disgusting actions, why Triple H just won't go away, what WWE is doing wrong with Brock Lesnar, why Antonio Cesaro is the opposite of boring, how Goldust helped Brandon grow as a person, the strap match, how Gabe Sapolsky is bad and should feel bad, and a treatise on Chris Jericho's last two years with WWE.
