Collected Possibilities

Collected Possibilities is taking a Summer Break, and before our hiatus host JASON HEAT explains why and says "see you in a bit." COLLECTED POSSIBILITIES E-Mail: collectedpossibilities@gmail.com Instagram  Facebook

Illness has struck again, which means it's time for a new assortment of Interludes - hidden gems and deleted scenes from past episodes stored away to deliver big for just this moment! This week's collection is a series of entertaining anecdotes grouped together largely by one of my favorite rhetorical devices - alliteration. So much like an Episode of Sesame Street, today's episode is brought to by the letter P - for Power Rangers, Pandas, and Presidents! First up is the President of Wrestling, PHIL STAMPER, who shares the origin of his title and some advice on leadership & responsibility. Next CAITLYN FITZGERALD and Jason dive into the defacto mascot of the National Zoo, the Great Panda, and take issue with a certain subset of trolls rooting for species extinction. And finally, "The Red Prince" TJAY SYKES gets passionate about his immense love for Power Rangers, and Jason accidentally trips into a genuine sore spot for the man & his fandom - because even after the better part of a lifetime, some pains remain the same. Enjoy these untold tales of past possibilities, and assuming Jason & his colon are on speaking terms next week, look forward to a new adventure then!

This week we're adding a new state and a new genre of attractions to the books in one fell swoop, with a trip to the New Jersey Renaissance Festival! BRITTANY TRUSKE returns as we enter a real life Choose Your Adventure book across an Arthurian backdrop; featuring themed performances, vendors, activities, and more! We debate whether to cosplay or not to cosplay, discuss the importance of ambiance and immersion to a successfuk Renn Faire Experience, cuddle with cows, sling bows, throw ninja stars, and drink Mead. Hear about a duck named Winston, the best costumes, and the dearth of interesting faire food. Is the New Jersey Renaissance Faire something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out! CELESTE This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Brittany's niece Celeste Perry, who tragically passed several weeks ago. Celeste was smart, filled with personality and attitude, and had a wonderfully dark sense of humor at a young age. She was a little girl who loved cats, unicorns, paw patrol, and had just developed a fascination for the Super Mario Brothers. She was also very strong, very brave, and determined to communicate and connect. When illness took her ability to speak, she fought and found a way to do so despite the complications. Celeste unfortunately suffered from Reducing Body Myopathy, an incredibly rare genetic condition that causes a breakdown of the muscular system. RBM is such a rare & little known disease that it doesn't have a significant level of public awareness or spokesperson to lead research fundraising.

Welcome to another Friday Edition of Collected Possibilities, an Existential Explorer's guide into the human heart and mind, where somehow every week we manage to convince an amazing assortment of interesting people to get very personal very quickly by asking them the Existential Question of The Week. This episode we're trying to desperately turn back the clock on graying hair, creaky bones, and abandoned dreams. We are chasing youth, baby, through a medium that deeply most inspires memories - songs. Our panel this week includes a Roller Derbist, a Women's Wrestling Champion, a Space Lawyer, and more, all heaping up a healthy dose of musical nostalgia as they answer the question - "What Song Makes You Feel Young?" Along the way we uncover crushes on Canadian Pop Icons, sing a requiem for the toy store, and go see Blink 182 in the year 2023. FEATURING JOHN OZKIRBAS (Space Lawyer) JANICE JENSON (Associate Director of Production at the Shakespeare Theatre) DAVID PRATT (Entrepeneur, Would Be Super-Villain) ASHLEY HARRIMAN (Systems Admin for the Washington Nationals, Punk Rock Mom) JOCELYN KNAZIK PHELPS (Roller Derbist) THE UNWILTING TATIANA (Pro Wrestler)

BRITTANY TRUSKE returns to the show for a visit to Washington DC and a pilgrimage to spend some time with the Priestess of Polka Dots. We're heading to One With Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection to visit the real Great Pumpkin, enter Infinity Mirror Rooms, and spend some time in a very Phallic Mushroom Kingdom. It's a deep dive into the work of one of the world's most famous artists, but can the exhibit live up to all the instagram hype? We attempt to forget ourselves and become one with oblivion. Along the way we debate what's scarier - death or eternity? Jason shares his experience with sleep deprived hallucinations, we pay tribute to the Polka Dot Prince of Pro Wrestling Dusty Rhodes, find more reasons to never put off trying something new, and do admire a truly stunning pumpkin. Is One With Eternity something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

Welcome to the very first Friday edition of Collected Possibilities, focused on our Existential Question of the Week!  This week's focus is sauces, spreads, toppings, and the like - the added & enhanced flavor experience only a condiment can provide. There are so many different options out there and only a few are so ubiquitous that you can find them in nearly ever US restaurant or home regardless of culture, price point, or style of cuisine. We know our Main Eventers, our Mount Rushmore, dominated by familar named like Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonaise, and BBQ Sauce. That leaves incredible ingredients as relative unknowns to large swathes of people. So lets open our eyes, and mouths, to the possibilities by asking - "What is The Most Under Rated Condiment?" Along the way try not to get caught in the Honey Mustard hate, ruminate on the essence of "zing," and confront our underlying fear of fruit spreads. Be a fly on the wall at Geek Brunch, and learn which condiment is the only one to be picked twice by our esteemed panel of experts!

Let's get ready to fly! Today we travel to Hagerstown, MD to test our bounce endurance at Sky Zone Trampoline Park.  We're joined by a man with far more trampoline experience than expected - comedian, podcaster, retired wrestler, and Jason's commentary partner at the World Domination Wrestling Alliance, TRAVIS DuFOUR! Travis talks about his time backyard wrestling on the trampoline and how it prepared him for this very moment. We get into his transition from Wrestling to Stand Up Comedy, how he has addressed a family history of alcoholism, and how his father's struggles both taught & inspired him. We bond over Disney Deaths as first memories, get caught in the quicksand like Foam Zone, and learn that trampolines are... a lot. Is Sky Zone something you have to do before you die?

It's not often you get to experience something with someone for the first time, and that's what makes this episode special. "The Exile" ZAKAR SHAH was born in Iran where bowling was... not as essential to the childhood experience as it is in the states. He rolled one frame in his early teens before being bowling shamed by his brother, and has never returned to an alley since. We're redressing that childhood wrong right here, right now as we head to Northside Lanes in Winchester, VA for his first full game & our first round of Cosmic Bowling in show history. We discuss the difference between having fun in Iran vs. America and what that reveals about both countries. He shares the story of his multi-year journey of getting from Iran to US, what it's like coming somewhere you don't think you're wanted, and how Professional Wrestling is his personal American Dream. Plus JACOB CUNNINGHAM answers the Existential Question of the Week: Do you believe in Good & Evil? Is Northside Lanes something you have to do before you die?

The Smithsonian's National Zoo, located in the heart of Washington DC, is home to more than 2,100 animals, representing almost 400 different species, including some of the planet's most critically endangered species. Their goal is to "instill a lifelong commitment to conservation through engaging experiences with animals and the people working to save them." But even under these most worthwhile of intentions, the essential conflict of animal attractions remains - is it ever truly ethical to attend the zoo as a consumer? Here to unpack this thorny quandry, and to look at all the cute critters, is theater professional CAITLYN FITZGERALD! We talk about her living with Lupus, the necessity of being your own advocate in the medical system, and how a woman's pain still isn't taken as seriously as a man's. She explains spoon theory as someone living with a chronic condition, and tells her story of losing the ability to drive due for nearly a year due to mysterious blackouts. And of course we have animals galore - from her obsession with Elephants, her recovery from childhood turkey attack trauma, and a Tiger vs. Duck showdown that provided the most stressful Zoo moments we've ever experienced. Plus Collected Possibilities Co-Founder DAVID PRATT celebrates an important birthday and answers the Existential Question of the Week: Where do bad folks go when they die?

Get ready for the most raw, powerful, and revealing episode we've ever released - alongside a trip to the circus! And not just any circus, but Cirque Italia's Water Circus - Gold Squad; a hodgepodge fever dream of the 1950s, H2O, action movies, and more. Will Cirque Italia bring us soaring to new heights, or will they drown under the weight of their own ambition? Joining us this week is actor, performer, and painter WILL NEAL KENYON. Will is a also Crystal Meth addict currently in recovery. He shares his journey with addiction, how quickly and completely the drug took over his life, his relapses, and current recovery process.  He tells an absolutely harrowing story of how close he came to recently dying and how the experience, and that fear, changed his life. It's deep, complicated, and incredibly human and shines a light on areas that are often kept hidden in the dark due to shame, fear, and stigmas. An incredible thank you to Will for being so open and honest in sharing his story, along with lending insight and inspiration for those struggling with these same issues. We also celebrate embracing the strange, analyze what makes a successful circus, and celebrate an archery act that blew our minds. Is Cirque Italia's Water Circus something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out! CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains significant depictions of drug abuse, addiction, self harm, overdose, & suicide, as well as a reference to sexual abuse.

It's another all "Existential Question of the Week" episode, featuring the stars of Voltage Wrestling!  It was 1993 when Haddaway unleashed the earworm that would spark a million head bops, both asking and singing "What is love?" and then plaintively and desperately begging for the pain to stop. We're going to leave the uncomfortable implications of the second half to the side, and focus on the query that has played on repeat in our heads almost every day for two decades. Love can be many things - from a chicken being born, to a 4 letter word, to a trap. We have tales of aparment fires and suddenly losing your home and all your belongings. Stories about fathers and sons, and craving a kind of love out of a parent you can never get. We discuss the impossible goal of perfection, and the difference between destination and direction. And one man hopes to protect us mere mortals from the danger of his sheer beauty.

It's our first all "Existential Question of the Week" episode, featuring the stars of 1CW Wrestling!  It was in 1993 that the man, the myth, the Meat Loaf launched a mystery of modern music that would haunt a generation via his legendary power ballad: "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I won't Do That)"  But what? What won't he do? Where is the line drawn? What is the one deed, the one act, the one step too far that not even this love, this operatic melodramatic, sexy piano laden love can justify? We may never know. Except to look inside ourselves and ask that very question - you would do anything for love. But you won't do that. What. Is That? A number brave souls are going to look deep inside the limits of their heart and answer that very question for you today. Strap in. Lets learn something about the human condition. Along the way we have Superman slander, deep cut Gothic Literature rerommendations, advice on how to protect yourself from being slandered, and Myles Millennium tries to give Jason an aneurism.  FEATURING: DOUG WILDER "THE DON" CHAZ EVANS RED DAWG MIKE FRESH DUSTIN TARR MYLES MILLENNIUM ALAN CLAYBALL JB ANDERSON JASON ANDREWS COLLECTED POSSIBILITIES E-Mail: collectedpossibilities@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectedpossibilities/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/collectedpossibilities  DOUG WILDER Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doug_wilder/ BETTER TOGETHER MEDIA GROUP Website: https://www.bettertogethermediagroup.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettertogethermediagroup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertogethermediagroup CHAZ EVANS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chaz_thedon/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DonChaZEvans EPISODE 58: ROUND 1 w/ "THE DON" CHAZ EVANS RED DAWG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_reddawg85/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GetTheKO YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RedDawg85 EPISODE 27: MAIN EVENT w/ RED DAWG THE 3 COUNT PODCAST Listen Here: https://anchor.fm/the3count Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/3countpod/ MIKE FRESH LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/mikefreshtwi EPISODE 57: MUSEUM OF ILLUSIONS w/ MIKE FRESH DUSTIN TARR Twitter: https://twitter.com/TARRtweets Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarrpix Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1812865791 MYLES MILLENNIUM Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mylesmaaaaan/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MylesMillennium ALAN CLAYBALL Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlanClayball Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alanclayball JB ANDERSON Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/violentbreedjba/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/violentbreedjba Twitter: https://twitter.com/ViolentBreedJBA EPISODE 54: GAMEON BAR + ARCADE w/ JB ANDERSON JASON ANDREWS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejason_andrews Twitter: https://twitter.com/thejason_andrew 1CW PRO WRESTLING Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1CWPRO   YouTube: 1CW Commentary: https://www.youtube.com/@1cwprowrestling291

This week we're headed to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve in Thurmont, Maryland - and joining Jason is the Senior Referee of the World Domination Wrestling Alliance: DANIKA MYERS! An area trailblazer, Danika talks about what it's like being a female referee, the importance of representation of women in wrestling, and the societally ingrained misogyny that still permeates our industry. We also cover her experience being a woman with both ADHD and autism, the difference between awareness & acceptance of neurodivergence, and how she's setting an example for her son as both a parent and a referee. Get ready to meet an incredibly interesting collection of animals - including one of the rarest leopards in the world, a psychotic goose, a horny peacock, a big sexy iguana, and so much more.  You'll also learn some important animal safety tips - like why the smell of cucumbers can sometimes mean danger is lurking just around the corner. And in the Existential Question of the Week, we're at WDWA's Holy Grail Tournament asking wrestlers RANCHHAND CARLSON & ZAKAR SHAH to answer one of pop music's great mysteries - "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

This week we're spending an afternoon with the absolutely delightful CHAZ EVANS. "The Don" is one third of the wrestling stable Pure Ignorance, 1/2 of the SWA Tag Team Champions, and the current 1CW Cruiserweight Champion. We head to Round1 Bowling and Amusement in Towson, MD - where, spoiler warning - we do not go bowling at all.  We do talk about race and representation in Pro Wrestling, balancing being a parent while still maintaining lead character status in your own life, and the importance of both god and the women in Chas' life to leading him on the path he's on today - a quest to be the greatest entertainer in the fucking world. Chaz is a man who has been professionally trained to rip your balls off, does not take an "L" easy, and is looking to lift up the youth of his city to be the best they can be. I think he's going to make a lot of new fans. Plus in the Existential Question of the week we sit down with Actor / Director / Producer LEE LIEBESKIND to ask: "Do You Believe in Magic?" + our very first Collected Possibilities give away!

This is a can't miss episode and one of the most compelling, intimate, and fascinating conversations in show history as Jason's 1CW WRESTLING Broadcast Partner MIKE FRESH joins the show for a trip to the Philadelphia outpost of the Museum of Illusions. The attraction is interesting enough on it's own - filled with immersive examples and explanations of illusions of all sorts. Mike's story is the real focus, though. He shares what it was like growing up in, and then eventually leaving, a cult; being raised by and processing the loss of a father who was gay but never able to come out of the closet, even to his own son; how 9/11 was the catalyst for his mother to change her life; and his own journey with mental health, being neurodivergent, and how owning and embracing that diagnosis helped change his sense of self.  Plus in the Existential Question of the week we sit down with MARIANO D'AGUIAR of RIVER-SEA CHOCOLATES; Collected Possibilities Co-Founder DAVID PRATT; and WORLD DOMINATION WRESTLING ALLIANCE Senior Referee DANIKA MYERS to ask: "When you die, what do you want your legacy to be?"

It's an episode full of firsts. Our first time on the West Coast. And for the first time ever, Guest Host BRITTANY TRUSKE takes the reigns for a solo trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California! She dives into the ethics of animal based attractions, explores the importance of sustainability when it comes to seafood, and explains how otter surrogacy works. She investigates a case of potential crustacean defamation, and introduces us to an entirely new species of Jellyfish! Listen as Britt makes a strong case that she should take over the podcast going forward, and Jason is just so much dead weight. Plus in the Existential Question of the week we sit down with KRISSEE D'AGUIAR of RIVER-SEA CHOCOLATES; Ring of Honor Star LADY FROST; Pro-Wrestlers MYLES MILLENIUM, ISAIAH FRAZIER, & RD MOSH; and announcer MIKE FRESH to ask: "What brings you joy?"

Attraction: GAMEON BAR + ARCADE (Barcade) Guest: JB ANDERSON (Pro Wrestler / Musician) Location: ANNAPOLIS, MD Theme: SOBRIETY, THERAPY, ADDICTION Existential Question of the Week: "WHAT MAKES A BETTER WORLD?"  Featuring: REINA GALLION (Jewelry Artisan) & BREAUX KELLER (Pro Wrestler) Our headliner this week is Professional Wrestler and Metal Head JB ANDERSON in one of the most personal, powerful, and intimate conversations we've ever had on the show. We're visiting GameOn Bar + Arcade in Annapolis, MD for some old school, retro nostalgia but the real story is JB's journey to sobriety - which he opened up about to share in detail, both how he found himself in a relationship with drinking he didn't want be in, and particularly the series of large and small revelations that culminated in him deciding to give up alcohol for good. We get real honest with each other about therapy, mental health, trauma, and addiction. And we smash the Simpsons side scroller, learn about Pizza Thrash, and analyze what makes a good arcade. Plus Jewelry Artisan REINA GALLION and Pro Wrestler BREAUX KELLER answer the Existential Question of the week - "What makes a better world?" Is GameOn Bar + Arcade something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

Tjay talks about growing up in Baltimore & how getting out in the world and meeting more and different people helped change his overall attitude and perspective. He's a big advocate for how choosing kindness creates a better world, absolutely loves Robin Hood + a Bow & Arrow, and has a deep seated vendetta against Kevin Costner. Jason rants about Batman, and both get a fucking work out in an archery battle against Orcs & Ogres. It's one of the most fun, easy, and entertaining conversations we've ever had in show history.

Our Main Event this week is a trip to the Glenstone Museum in North Potomac, MD with my friend EZZAT SALEH OBAID, a DC area based Photographer, Filmmaker, and Coffee Maker. We talk about the creation of community through art, being an outsider, Punk Music in 80s & 90s DC, and the power of metaphor. And we journey to Glenstone - a beautiful and uneasy fortress of art, and incredible juxtaposition of peaceful nature with brutalist bricks. Glenstone is a combination Museum, Arts Installation, Sculpture Garden, and Gallery centered inside a compound that has to be seen to believed. The whole experience is a vibe that blends natural serenity with an ominous tension, and themes of confinement, surveillance, and defense.  And we have our very first Existential Question of the week. Pro Wrestlers ISAIAH FRAZIER, SAGE MATTHEWS, and THE BOAR each make their Collected Possibilities debut to share what keeps them up at night, as they answer "What do you fear?" Is Glenstone something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

The cure for your Valentine's Day hangover is here, and it's a signature blend of fun & fear: the Love is Blind themed horror pop up event at Laurel's House of Horrors. Joining us this week is show editor and "The Most Romantic Man in All the Land" - your valentine, my valentine, Mike Valentyne! Get love and relationship advice from Cupid's Arrow himself, as Mike answers your burning questions of desire. We talk formative haunted house experiences, how bad baby sitters unwittingly inflicted a life long love of horror to a traumatized child, and "The Art of the Jump Scare." Stitchy the Clown makes a cameo, and then things get as real and raw as they ever have when we go in deep on Jason's fears of death, the hypothetical, and the void.

It's our milestone Episode 50, and we're celebrating in style with the return of the OG: actor, writer, director, and Episode 1 guest TYLER HERMAN! And he's not coming alone, because he's bringing younger brother JUSTIN with him as we break the format in more ways than one.  Because, what if instead of going out, we stay in, and see how well we can recreate the Escape Room experience in our own homes with Exit the Game: The Enchanted Forest? We want Collected Possibilities to be as inclusive as possible and there are times when you just can't get out of the house, no matter how much you may want to. So how to bring the adventure to you? Let's see how an attempt at an "at home escape room" measures up to the real deals we've done before. The Brothers Herman are game geeks extraordinaire, and we get into all of it. What makes a good Board Game? What makes a good Escape Room? Plus hint shame, the power of puzzles, and the intersection of gaming & performance art; all while being strung along by a posse of selfish, carnie woodland creatures.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: infiltrate the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC and discover if the world of duplicity and espionage is as cool in real life as it seems on TV. But you won't have to do it alone - joining you is returning guest, and proprieter of Little Britt Pottery, BRITTANY TRUSKE! One of Britt's childhood fantasies was to be a Super Spy, and now she gets to see if its all she dreamed as we go on an interactive, undercover mission through the museum. Is the spy game filled with crazy cool gadgets and disguises, or complicated moral quandaries and potential torture and death - or a little bit of both?  Along the way hear the real life story of a woman who faked her own death, find out if Jason successfuly saved the world from a Nuclear explosion, and learn how studying the theater apparently makes a great undergraduate education for espionage.

Welcome to Norwood Massachusetts, where we continue our ongoing "Talking to Pro Wrestlers in a Bowling Alley" series, but with a twist! Forget regular, boring old ten pin - Candlepin Bowling is a hyper regional specific Bowling variation located along the northeast, starting from Nova Scotia and heading down towards Providence, Rhode Island. And we're going to try it for the very first time! Of course we can't go bowling without a wrestler, so we have with us, coming straight from the gym, "True Talent" BOBBY SHIELDS! We're catching Bob at a point of major transition, just after he his retirement from a twenty year career in the squared circle. We're capturing a moment in time and diving into expectations and disappointments, body image, and what it means to call it quits on your own time and terms. Bob reflects on his career and legacy, as we question what does and doesn't define you as a person, and how to transition into a new chapter of your life. All that, and tiny balls.

This is genuinely one of my favorite episodes, and I think it will be for you, too. The time has finally come time to pay visit to the OTHER House of Mouse, the Pizza Emporium of Rodentia, the Charlie of the Cheddar Factory - my man Chuck E. Cheese! And if we're set to visit a magical land where "a kid can be a kid," we best bring one along; and so we have! We're joined my girlfriend's niece, and absolute delight, CADENCE, who is so smart, so kind, and wise beyond her 10 years. And make no mistake, she leads us right into the deep end; we tackle responsibility & accountability, reincarnation & spirits,  and make a case for the defense of Pineapple Pizza! But most importantly we ask: what does it really mean to be a kid, while you're living through it?  Is Chuck E. Cheese something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

This one has it all: a story of life, death, and beyond; filled with incest, illness, and the underworld!  We're joined by multi-disciplinary artist and performer MADEE KEY for a deep dive into death that leaves no mortality stone unturned. How we do or don't want to die, what we think happens after, and what we'd take with us if we could - all questions on today's docket.

Happy New Year! Here at Collected Possibilities, 2023 is officially the Year of the King - Kings Dominion! We got ourselves a season pass to one of the biggest attractions in Virginia, and throughout the year we'll be looking at each of their seasonal events and attractions in a comprehensive deep dive of our very first, fully fledged theme park in show history. First up is their off season holiday spectacular WinterFest. And who better to interrogate a king than a president - in this case, The President of Wrestling: PHIL STAMPER! Phil is the Swiss Army Knife of the fights and tights crowd, and he'll be my tag team partner as we fight a battle for joy and whimsy against a rapidly dropping temperature. We dive into how and why Phil's body hates him - from injuries, to neck surgery, and going into shock. He shares the joy of being dragged behind a car in a crazy stunt, our side quest to Denny's goes awry, and we learn that Santa once got drafted? All this and a parade!

What happens when Spooky & Jolly decide to tag team it up? You get "A Christmas Nightmare," a special mash up attraction at Laurel's House of Horror. Prepare yourselves for both a festive Haunted House and an Escape room in this unique juxtaposition of wholesome and horror. With me for all the thrills and chills is my friend KENTON STALDER! We dive into aging, wisdom, and parenting while turning 40; celebrate watching other people's trauma (under specific circumstances), and confront the little known phenomenon that is Hint Shame. Along the way we ask the big questions -  Is fear a good time? Who killed Santa? And what happens when your friend gets kidnapped during an Escape Room? Is A Christmas Nightmare something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

This week we ask the big question on everyone's lips - what does a sober boy do at The Whiskey Fest? It's simple - he brings a friend, serves as designated driver, and scarfs down Hors D'oeuvres! When Collected Possibilities received tickets to the Washingtonian's Whiskey & Fine Spirits Festival, there was only one man to call - JORDAN HARRIMAN came to the rescue and was more than willing to bite the bullet and be our taster in chief. Hear his picks for the best sips of the night while we also tackle the unexpected affects of aging on our rapidly approaching middle aged bodies, learn how and and why Jason immediately reverts back into "Bar Mitzvah Mode" when he sees finger food on trays, and discover why forevermore Jordan will be known far and wide as the Popcorn Bandit.

The Holiday Season continues as we're joined by the returning CANDICE BLOCH, Podcaster & Creator extraordinaire, for a visit to Meadowlark's Winter Walk of Lights in Vienna, VA! Promising a million sparkling lights on a half mile walking trail, accompanied by a warm beverage and capped off with s'mores, we're here to see how a night stroll compares to our previous drive at it's sister festival The Bull Run Festival of Lights (see Episode 39!) Along the way we'll have plenty of questions that need answering. Like what's the best hot beverage for a winter walk? What's the proper technique for making the perfect S'more? And is it double dipping to celebrate both Christmas & Hannukah? We go crazy for turtles and squirrels, recount an old friend's hot take on alcohol, and accidentally overhear the wildest snippet of conversation in show history.

This week we continue in the grand Collected Possibilities tradition of talking to Professional Wrestlers in Bowling Alleys. The self described smartest man in wrestling, PROFESSOR JAKOB EDWINN, joins us for an epic two out of three falls bowling match at Pikeside Bowl in Martinsburg, WV! The competition is neck and neck in this battle for ten pins, instead of one. While we hit the lanes (and dart board), Jakob reflects on the unexpected tolls on the body from a wrestling lifestyle, how he keeps from caving to society's pressures to carve his own path, and how despite his current appearance he remains a good Goth boy at heart. We also recognize the bowling alley as a sort of living time capsule, and try to explain why so many other amusements fail while bowling endures in small towns nationwide. This is a rare inside look at a traditionally very private performer. Is Pikeside Bowl something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

We're getting a jump start on the holiday season with the Bull Run Festival of Lights - a 2.5 mile trail of light displays and animatics, followed by a winter carnival. Health Science Specialist ELIZABETH PARTAN joins us to see how much good cheer we can muster in late November, as we journey through images of familiar storybook characters and scenes of winter wonder. We explore how our appreciation of light based attractions is connected to the stars and the sky, reflect on how being small in the universe can be a comfort, and excavate how an early childhood trauma can indirectly lead to a lifelong appreciation of colorful lights.

We've got a new Foodie Festival in town, celebrating the dynamic duo of Coffee & Chocolate! These two mighty beans are having a party and we're all invited. My Plus 1 happens to be the whip smart robotics expert CHRISTIE OPIEKUN, who is on a personal journey to learn more about what kind of coffee she likes. Along the way we discuss whether I have to worry about a robot uprising, learn about a formative experience that almost ruined coffee for Christie for good, and she does the near impossible - eats something that breaks my heart. We also chat with Potomac Chocolate, River-Sea Chocolates, and Weird Brothers Coffee to learn about Bean to Bar Chocolate, Commodity vs. High Quality ingredients, and how creativity influences chocolate and coffee creations!

We close out our first ever Spooky Season with a trip to Laurel's House of Horror, advertised as Maryland's largest indoor haunted house. Built inside of an abandoned movie theatre, we have high hopes for immersive thrills with a cinematic flare - but can they deliver? There's no better person to journey into mystery with than Collected Possibilities Co-Founder, Horror aficionado, and returning guest David Pratt! We do a thorough analysis of the tropes & mechanics of a Haunted Attraction and brainstorm ideas on how to elevate the format for future years. We compare the differences between horror and suspense on a genre level, dial in on David's fear of losing control, and pitch a Haunted Bar-Mitzvah as a very niche new attraction. David hates Zombies, Jason REALLY hates line dancing, and we compare the cathartic experience of horror to the rhythmic patterns of orgasms.

This week we're taking a trip to the beach - Ocean City, MD for some Thrashers Fries and Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Both the Odditorium and the Mirror Maze are on the agenda, and we're joined by the returning CHRISTIAN SULLIVAN! (Who you may remember from Episode 15 at the Maryland State Fair, where he literally helped save someone's life.) Ocean City is a second home to Sully. We reminisce about his childhood connections to the beach & boardwalk, talk about why it's healthy to acknowledge that we're not always happy, and get lost in a maze. We also explore the world of the paranormal - like is Ripley's haunted, and do we even believe ghosts? A Voodoo Curse Box, Human Skull Coffee Mug, and Shrunken Head are on display; and don't miss the part where I eat a cricket and give you the live play by play.   Is Ripley's Believe It Or Not! something you have to do before you die?

It's a super-sized Spooky Season special edition of Collected Possibilities this week, as we visit one of the most highly rated haunted attractions in the Mid-Atlantic: Field of Screams Maryland! We're joined by special guest MILES RADIO TYLER PELL for a Slaughterhouse themed Haunted House, creepy carnival games, and the main event mile and a half of Haunted Trail. Along the way dive into the relationship between fear and vulnerability, discuss whether we prefer gore or suspense in our horror themed attractions, and reflect on how people craft identities in response to class and economic disparity and other trauma in formative social situations.

Spinners Pinball Arcade in Frederick, Maryland is a celebration of the creativity and variety to be found in the seemingly humble game, and we're here for it! I'm joined on my quest by Musician and Wrestler, "The Wild Eyed Headbanger" MADD MAXX MORRISON for an afternoon of gaming and cathartic reflection. We dive into the three different  and uniquely named aspects of Maxx's persnality, and explore whether these names represent metaphorical differences or actual separate identities sharing a physical space. Maxx also opens up about his struggles with ADHD and rejection sensitivity, we ruminate on the meditative nature of the pinball experience, and play a wild game of Sonic the Hedgehog Air Hockey!

This week we're taking a road trip to Front Royal, Virginia, and a trip back in time, to visit Fireball Arcade - a self described 80s themed Pinball and Video Game Arcade. Joining us is educator, metal enthusiast, and viking lookalike SCOTT MAXWELL!   This one's got it all: Jason rants about birds again, a chicken sandwich makes Scotty cry, and a dude pees right in front of us. We also delve into the true nature and original meaning of nostalgia, reflrect on the changing generational attitudes towards in person socialization and communal spaces, and muse on whether the arcade as a concept still has a place of relevance in the modern world.    Is Fireball Arcade something you have to do before you die?

The fall may be Spooky Season, but it's always Foodie Season here at Collected Possibilities; and that's never been more on display than with this tribute to an absolute spectacle of the shopping experience. In an episode as big as the store it's about, we aim to answer the burning question - can a grocery store also be an attraction?    Record setting three time guest, founder of Little Britt Pottery, and my girlfriend BRITTANY TRUSKE is our guide on a food safari to Jungle Jim's International Market, located just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. We journey through this incredible blend of supermarket and theme park, full of fresh produce, animatronic set pieces, and an actual movie theater. Along the way we analyze our relationship via our different thoughts on food, explore the pressure placed on the experience of eating, and learn how spite and resentment motivates Jason to eat well.

It's the start of our first ever Spooky Season as we ring in Autumn with a Monstrous take on Mini Golf! Professional Wrestler "The Undeniable" Rob Myers joins us this week for an afternoon of shooting lasers, swinging clubs, and excavating childhood trauma. Rob is wonderfully open in this incredibly revealing conversation, where he goes into detail on his extremely difficult childhood - being abandoned at nine months old, sadly seeing himself as a monster growing up, and how being reunited with his mother and meeting a brother he never knew completely changed the direction of his life. We talk his love of horror, how he wants to be the father he never had, and his upcoming road to recovery after a scary seizure. All that, plus air hockey!

We're heading to Bladensburg, Maryland for the most honestly advertised and least imaginatively named attraction in all the land - Go Kart Track (that's the whole name). Andino is always entertaining and mildly controversial, with the hottest takes in show history, so get ready to laugh and shake your head in equal measure.   We're down for some wacky racing as we talk all about pushing boundaries and poking the bear, the impact of consequences on growth and regret, and the relationship between fathers and sons.

CARRIE JAHN is on the show this week as we head to National Harbor, Maryland to ride The Capital Wheel for the very first time. We talk all about the integration and reclamation of identities, the rituals of healing, and finding new paths in your thirties.

Jason Drake is a musician and professional wrestler - a member of the Riot City's Most Wanted stable and the man who broke Adam Cole's record as longest reigning EWA Cruiserweight Champion. He's also a good, everyday dude named Logan Helphenstine - a nature enthusiast who wrestles with anxiety and panic disorder outside of the ring. We met up the day after Logan was in the ER for panic attacks, and found ourselves very reflective on the subject of mental health overall - how our respective anxieties manifest and affect our lives, the importance of public conversation in reducing the stigma around mental health issues, and the changing attitudes and understanding of the issues in stereotypically hyper-masculine spaces. We also talked about the relationship between physical health and mental health, and our connection as people to the wonders of nature. So it made perfect sense to head out to Boonsboro, MD together so Jason Drake could see an underground cave for the very first time! From stalactites and stalagmites, to an unexpected waterfall, and a very curious Praying Mantis; this week's episode is all about how humanity can make an attraction of the natural world.

But not just any wrestler - the Air Force Veteran, Intel Specialist, Podcast Host, Champion of Chit Chat, your Friendly Neighborhood RED DAWG!  Alongside an afternoon of gaming, we re-learn the importance of first impressions, feel the pain of the music you love becoming classic rock, and dive into the difference between real and performative combat with a man who is well versed in both. Red Dawg really opens up, opening up about a time he was taken advantage of in the ring and questioned continuing to pursue his dream. He reflects on his relationships with his dad, daughter, and deceased best friend and how all of them helped shape the man he is now.

The Montgomery County Agricultural Fair is a local rite of passage, and a case can be made that this very fair is where the seeds of Collected Possibilities were first planted (agriculture reference). The bright lights, the vibrant sounds, the rush of the rides - chasing that feeling turned into this very show. But can a childhood memory live up to an adult's perspective? Usually we're focused on the new and novel, but this week it's about coming home and sharing the love with a person experiencing it for the first time. By day, JOCELYN KNAZIK PHELPS may be a genetic counselor and swing band singer. But tonight, she's bringing out VACAY-J, an alternate persona she adopts to go with the flow and leave the burden of anxiety behind, like an inverted Incredible Hulk. We talk about mental health and the search for joy, what it's like to be a vegetarian around animals destined for the slaughter, and make sure to talk about sheep testicles (just in case you were worried).

Get ready for a blast from the past - an honest to god arcade in an honest to god shopping mall! This week we head to Hagerstown, MD to hit up Tilt Studio; where a combination of games, attractions, nostalgia, and slight disappointments await. Dave and Busters meets Jeepers meets a Boardwalk Arcade in this sprawling amusement center that promises "fun at full blast." Voltage Pro Wrestling promoter Mike Noland (known better to some as Mike Ratick) invites us to his hometown for a trip back in time to when teenagers hung out in physical spaces.

NAGIER CHAMBERS, the visionary force behind Big Gold Belt Media, is our guide as we attempt to do what all thirty-somethings at a bar want to do - beat the X-Men Arcade Game.   Along the way we revisit the traumas of our adolescent arcade experiences, dish on the essential DC carryout order, and Jason shares a haiku about the Blob his friend wrote all the way back in 8th grade bible class.

The annual Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville, Delaware - a multi-day celebration of a regional pork product and the soul of a town; filled with pageants, feats of strength, dance parties, and whatever a "Mayoral Scrapple Sling" is! But at the heart of this episode is the journey of how one man went from a strictly observant practicing Orthodox Jew to "man who invites me to a pork organ meat festival." My dear friend from college CHANAN BERKOVITS delves into how food, mental health, and religion entwined and separated to lead him towards a life where he wants to try anything and everything there is, including scrapple. To add to the special Giant Sized nature of the event, his wife Lauren and my girlfriend Brittany both guest star as this week we attend the Opening Ceremonies, get a special report on the Little Miss Apple Scrapple Pageant, and learn what happens when you play my most hated song in the world. Is the Apple Scrapple Festival something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

Imagine: you're driving down the road in Loveland, Ohio and decide to take a quick detour to the riverbed. You round the corner, and almost hidden in plain sight is an honest to god Castle - built brick by brick, stone by stone, by one man (by hand) - which is now maintained and managed by his former boy scout troupe turned official order of knighthood, the Knights of the Golden Trail.   Well it's not a hoax, not an imaginary tale, and that's where we're going! Joined by our very first two time guest, the artist behind Little Britt Pottery and my girlfriend - BRITTANY TRUSKE, we're taking a trip inside a stone anachronism to talk about how ghosts are created, just how much is an Order of Knighthood like or not like a cult, and the power and burden of a life's purpose. All that plus swords, meteorites, and a dungeon!   Is Loveland Castle and Museum something you have to do before you die?
