Katy, or should we say, Miss Baker's first semester of teaching has almost concluded, but her students still have to take finals (Jenna and Ellis comment on the absurdity of this scheduling). Katy reflects on her triumphs, struggles, and lessons to build upon moving forward in her teaching career. She also offers some advice for prospective teachers (0:30-16:59). Ellis receives a gift from the Baker family, but also reveals his punishment for placing last in his fantasy football league. Continuing the football talk, Jenna boasts about the Mizzou Tigers becoming Cotton Bowl Champs, and of course gives Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles updates (17:02-30:47). Chris (Jenna's fiancé, we're still getting used to saying that) and Jenna were determined to have Taco Bell for dinner on New Year's Day, but Jenna's ordering process was a little obscure. Jenna gives a couple social media updates from last week regarding photographer Houston Vandergriff potentially joining on the podcast AND Dakota Kai sending a special message to Derek! (30:48-36:02). WWE LEGEND, our good friend Rey Mysterio joins the podcast and reminisces about meeting us and how impressed he was with Derek's wrestling knowledge (36:47-42:46). Rey shares his bittersweet feelings about his son Dominik, his strategies against larger wrestlers, and his relationship with fellow masked-man Dragon Lee (42:48-52:29). Speaking of the masks, Valerie's intrigued by their origins and Rey shouts out the makers behind them. Derek shares his predictions for Rey's daughter, Aalyah, and asks the big question we all want to know the answer to; will he be competing in the Royal Rumble? (52:31-1:01:21). Katy tries her hand at the Weekly Wrestling Wrap Up intro and is promptly ousted by Derek and Jenna. Derek shares some AEW drama regarding those three random men we've been talking about. There was a BIG return on RAW Day One, and plenty of other wrestling action (1:01:30-1:23:58).BAKER BANTER P.O. BOX: Letters only: P.O.
