<p>Poddy-Slam! 🛎️</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Memory Foam: Wrestling with Pro Wrestling</strong>, Josh and Vince step into the ring to try and pin down the allure of Professional Wrestling. First things first, Josh asks Vince, the reigning champ of wrestling love, the timeless question: <strong>“Do you still watch wrestling?”</strong> (Spoiler: Vince says “no”… then immediately drops a watchlist longer than a WrestleMania runtime.)</p><p>The Tag Team duo also cover hard-hitting topics such as:</p><ul><li><strong>Recap culture</strong>: why Vince prefers breakdowns, “Ups &amp; Downs,” and behind-the-scenes lore over week-to-week shows</li><li><strong>WWE vs AEW</strong> (and what’s tempting about that AEW back catalog)</li><li>The <strong>price-gouge pile-driver</strong> of modern streaming packages</li><li>The eternal debate: **“fake” vs “scripted” vs “these people are still getting wrecked”</li><li>Why wrestling is basically <strong>SNL + athletics</strong>… and why the “corny” stuff is part of the charm</li><li>A detour into how <strong>Dragon Ball Z </strong>is similar to Pro Wrestling</li></ul><p>And to close it out, there’s a listener challenge: <strong>you pick the sports team Vince has to follow</strong> (two games… maybe), and in exchange Josh will watch <strong>two of the greatest wrestling PPVs of all time.</strong> Deal’s on the table. Bring your best suggestions.</p><p>🎧 Press play if you like friendly debates, pop-culture rabbit holes, and two dudes trying to figure out why we love the things we love.</p>

<p>Superhero Fatigue… Even in My Dreams</p><p>In Episode 2, Vince opens up about a dream where a squad of overly helpful superheroes keeps swooping into his life, only unasked, uninvited and wildly overenthusiastic. Think: Avengers-level intervention for extremely normal tasks like opening a pickle jar or finding a parking spot at the supermarket.</p><p>Josh does his best to interpret the symbolism, while Vince tries to figure out why his subconscious is apparently staffed by a full Justice League.</p><p>Then Josh and Vince tackle the topic of the never-ending avalanche of superhero movies and TV shows or The Great Cape Overload! Our dynamic duo discuss fan burnout, completist guilt and the pressure to be “caught up” in a universe that expands faster than we can watch. </p><p>In this episode they debate:</p><ul><li>Are we oversaturated?</li><li>Is it possible to actually keep up anymore?</li><li>Does skipping one Disney+ show or movie disqualify you from “true fan” status?</li><li>And why does it seem that every single plot if for the fate of the world!?</li></ul><p>________________________________</p><p></p><p>Want more?
