It's a full house this week as we've got Sorg, Larry, Bobby, Mad Mike, Billy, and Mainstream Matt in studio. As a special treat, comedian Jaye Cooper joins us as we kick off Mayhem Mania! This week's show is packed. We're a few days removed from NXT Takeover, the Royal Rumble, and a host of other wrestling shows over the weekend - which means we have a TON to talk about:WMS The worst thing for Sorg - when he can't recognize local wrestlers in their street clothes. So much rumbling happened this weekend! We're giving our thoughts. Royal Rumble appearance of Rey Mysterio confused us after watching the last season of Lucha Underground. We have mixed reviews of the return of The Hurricane from Royal Rumble. We're crossing the wrestling streams because of NJPW, WWE, and IMPACT happenings and shuffles. We're fans of all kinds of wrestling. OH: I met him one time at a funeral... Welcome to Wrestle Kingdom two years ago WWE fans. The Women's Rumble exceeded many of our expectations. Sorg wants a Total Taker show with Undertaker and Michelle McCool. We're following the #JacobsForMayor campaign, because Kane. Royal Rumble had matches other than rumbly things. Things happened. Braun Strowman teaching Alexa Bliss how to flip a car is the best thing ever. Mad Mike was in the same building as Ray Rowe, Ricochet, and EC3 this weekend. We're rebranding Ricochet as Rick O'Shea so he can keep his name. Mad Mike and Larry are teaming up to take on War Machine for the Tag Titles. We're talking some NXT Takeover and Johnny Wrestling. We're talking some Kassius Ohno options with NXT. Holy $#!% Adam Cole match at NXTTakeover. As big a night Royal Rumble was for Japan, NXT Takeover was just as big for Cleveland. This week's Big Question: Who left from IMPACT Wrestling do you want to see pop up in WWE? It's Mayhem Mania time! What did YOU learn in wrestling this week? We learned collaboratively that Jaye Cooper thinks he can take on Ray Rowe. (For the record - we vehemently disagree.)

We’ve got a special guest in studio this week as we’re joined by comedian Matt Light. And, there is a ton of stuff to talk about this week, including: Our guest Matt Light mixes wrestling with comedy. The best of both worlds. Larry has a foam finger – but not the finger you’re thinking… We are 1 degree of separation from Honky Tonk Man at this very moment. RVD has a comedy (?) show? So, RAW 25 happened last night. We’ve got plenty of thoughts. When Christian is compared to Marty Jannetty. We’re sharing some thoughts about the RAW 25 venue split and how WE thought it should have been done. The APA segments of RAW 25 made the night for most of us. Royal Rumble is this weekend. And, Dolph Ziggler is favored to win? Our guest Matt Light is calling it now – Dolph Ziggler comes out at #30 – – – to Daniel Bryan’s theme music. Sorg is waiting for Jason Jordan to snap. Mad Mike is waiting for a Shield break-up turn by Jordan, and Matt Light is just calling for him to get his future endeavored letter. Why did they not have Jerry Springer on RAW 25 with a “You are not the father!” spot with Kurt Angle and Jason Jordan.

Nia Jax v. Asuka can be this generation’s Andre v. Hogan. Will AJ Styles v. Sami and KO match be the comedy match for Royal Rumble? Science: Shane McMahon cannot win a Royal Rumble match because he goes to the top rope too much. Will we see Karma for the Women’s Royal Rumble?

Matt and Steve start this week's episode as they do - with their fantasy football standings. They've been running neck-and-neck all season. This week they're tied up on their weekly picks with a 1-point difference on their season standings as they're headed into the fantasy championships! In other news, it's Christmastime! But, apparently not for the Penguins. The boys bring us up to speed on their recent losing streak. Thankfully it's a long season and we have some time to correct the early follies. As for NCAA news, we're into the basketball conference season! Matt and Steve share some thoughts on that - as well as the start of NCAA hockey season. We saved the best conversation for last as the boys dive into NFL news. At the top of the segment? James ****ing Harrison. There are certainly thoughts on his move to New England. As far as actual Steelers gameplay, the team showed a lot of promise on their Christmas Day outing with plays by Bryant, Bell and JuJu. Matt and Steve head out of their Steelers wrap up with an overview of their thoughts for the playoff picture. As they do, the guys wrap up this week's show with some BOLD predictions about NFL - Week 17.

Matt and Steve are feeling pretty jolly this week as we head into Christmas. They've got an even playing field on this week's fantasy scores with 10-6 for both of them. And, they're neck-and-neck as far as their fantasy seasons go, too. But, it looks like Matt and Steve are both out of their respective leagues. As they recap some NCAA hoops action, Pitt, PSU, and WVU are all looking at some conference games after Christmas. In MLB news, there's some updates on what the Dodgers and the Yankees are up to. Apparently the Pirates are trying to work out a trade for Cole. Matt and Steve definitely have some thoughts on how that looks - as well as the status of talks with Cutch. Even though he's no longer a Penguin, the guys are keeping up with Fleury as he stood tall in their series with the Avalanche. They also touch base on recent Penguins moves, including the acquisition of Jamie Olesiak and some trade updates. We're headed into the home stretch of the football season! Pro Bowl selections are looking good as far as Steelers are concerned. But, it looks like we're going to be a couple guys short until further notice. And, don't get us started on the Patriots game. But, at least the boys have some great content for this week's podcast - including some thoughts on the reason for the game-ending call. As they do, the guys wrap up this week's show with some BOLD predictions about NFL - Week 16.

As we near the end of 2017 we take the opportunity to fill the couch – both IRL and online – with some familiar faces. It’s a full house indeed with Jim Lokay, Will Rutherford, Mike Pound, Cynthia Closkey, John Carman, Bobby Cherry, Brian Crawford, and Krause. But, we’ve still got our usual faces with Sorg and Chilla, and a very special visit from our Patreon supporter, Michael Fedor. We’re starting the top of the show with everyone’s Awesome Thing of the Year items. Chilla’s Awesome Thing of the Year is his Apple AirPods. Brian’s Awesome Thing of the Year is NOT the tech items he recently purchased – but the sweet bag he got to carry it all! Krause’s Awesome Thing of the Year is his Google Pixel 2XL. Will’s Awesome Thing of the Year is a “really interesting idea.” He’s interested in TXT.FYI – a stripped down blog. Lokay’s Awesome Thing of the Year is HQ – the quiz app. Cynthia’s AirPods are her Awesome Thing for Life. As her Awesome Thing of the Year, she’s going with 17776. Mike Pound’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Amazon Echo. Patreoner Michael Fedor’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Patreon’s redo of their fee structure. Bobby is sharing his Awesome Thing of the Year – his Google Home. John Carman’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Google’s Pixel Buds. Sorg’s Awesome Thing of the Year is the realization of handheld internet through his AT&T Wireless plan. We’re running through our 2017 predictions from last year – and whether or not they actually came true. And, then we turn to predictions for 2018!(With a shout out to Rob Johnston and the Vine 2 launch!) Lokay: Vine2 is going to be a failure. Will Rutherford: Net neutrality is going to get pushed through and it’s going to be a kerfluffle. ISPs are going to do what ISPs do, but customers are going to drop like flies. They’re going to lose so much business that they’re going to roll things back and it will all be for naught. Mike Pound: Digital side of journalism is going to continue to build in 2018. Cynthia Closkey: Continued escalation of Google/Apple/Amazon streaming war. Apple TV available for sale on Amazon again. Michael Fedor: Disney will have one major purchase in the next year. (Jokingly introduced with: Living under the United States of Disney. Disney will pay down national debt and come in on some sort of crisis.) John Carman: We’re going to see the first Amazon Key burglary. Bobby Cherry: Elon Musk is going to have some breakthrough next year – through one of his companies. Chilla: We’re going to see another huge dropoff on PC technology. Brian Crawford: We’re going to start turning into cyborgs with our wearable tech and implant devices. We’re also going to see regulations regarding drones. Krause: AR is going to be a much bigger deal than even VR is now. Sorg: Podcasting is going to be de-emphasized in 2018.
