I got choked out by King Kong Bundy and Razor Ramon today.  It was a nice way to start the day as a wrestling fan.

This episode is chock full of “fiscal responsibility” as the crew discusses Previews and what they are getting or not getting due to responsible adulting.

GoForGibby, Silverfox, and the Strikemaster are live (to tape) at Krav’n Comics for a special Halloween episode! The ghoulish group starts by discussing the comic book related news from the week, but things get fun and frightening as they ask customers terrifying trivia questions for prizes and talk about their favorite Halloween memories, candy, movies, TV shows/specials, comics, and current traditions! Costumed customers get to choose their fate by selecting a Halloween or comic book related question, but do they have the knowledge to earn their victory and pretty darn cool prizes? Listen to tales of Ben Cooper costumes, trick or treating at 20, coveting full candy bars, and more! Beware, dear listener, and enjoy! End Song: Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway and his Orchestra
