Episode 232 - Darby Allin wakes up to find every single backstage worker shaved bald to mock MJF, which is one way to start the morning, and from there it's straight into Owen Tournament brackets, Ospreay tapping Ace Austin out with his first AEW submission ever, Kevin Knight retaining the TNT Title against a returning Brian Cage, Speedball calling out the world champ, Mark Briscoe coming back to declare the Word of the Day is "Reunification," Thekla hitting Hayter with a title belt for a rare AEW DQ, and Darby surviving Konosuke Takeshita to officially sign a hair vs. title contract for Double or Nothing while bleeding directly onto the paper. MJF then closes the show by spearing Darby through the table and getting run off by Kevin Knight. Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico break it all down.

This week on AEW-Some Pod (Episode 231), Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico break down a packed night of AEW action from Charleston featuring Darby Allin's wild title reign, MJF agreeing to put his freshly imported hairline on the line, Jon Moxley's ongoing recruitment of Will Ospreay, and one absolutely unhinged amount of storyline overlap. The crew dives into Sting's emotional tribute to Ted Turner, Darby vs. Kevin Knight stealing the night, Okada chasing more gold, and whether AEW may finally be setting up a major Ospreay heel turn. Plus: live crowd insight from Diana in the building, Gringo's continued war against underwhelming finishers, and the official debut of “How You Know?” as the greatest catchphrase in wrestling today.

AEW-some Pod Episode 230.

AEW-some Pod Episode 226. Darby Allin is your AEW World Champion and apparently he's defending that thing every single week until his body physically stops working. This week's victim: Tommaso Ciampa, who bled all over the place and still couldn't get it done. Plus MJF cries about the Seattle Screwjob, Kevin Knight shuts him up, Mark Davis puts Ospreay down with a piledriver on the apron, Samoa Joe is back and immediately terrifying, Jericho's mystery partners turn out to be Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MVP (just business), and Brody King challenges Darby for next week before the confetti even hits the floor.

Episode 227 brings your favorite podcast pals (Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico) back together to chat about this week's Dynasty go-home AEW Dynamite taking place from Roger's Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! Will Ospreay brings back-up from the East to deal with his Deathrider problem, leading to a monster impromptu 8-man tag main event! We get an update on Kyle Fletcher's injury leading to a "Fletcher Strong" movement from the Callis Family. Andrade, Mark Davis, and Takeshita take on the even more emo than normal Darby Allin, Jack Perry, and Bandido in more than physical match up. Willow defends her TNT Championship against a returning Queen Aminata to have one hell of a sleeper, banger match. Gabe Kidd continues to be the dark abyss of charisma, meanwhile FTR gets the upperhand on Cope and Cage. Jericho gives a very real, emotional speech, brings back a classic to annoy Ricochet, and challenges him to a match at this weekend's PPV. Finally, Omega makes us believe that he will take the championship from MJF this weekend! It was a very powerful go-home show for AEW that may lead to one of, if not, the best PPV's of the year!

On Episode 226, your faithful trio of Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico celebrates the return of the “Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rolla,” Chris Jericho, who makes is long awaited return “home” to All Elite Wrestling. Kenny Omega and MJF sign the contract for their highly anticipated match up at AEW Dynasty. Speedball inserts himself into things which leads to a main event match against MJF later in the night. AEW's answer to Kraven the Hunter, Jack Perry, Kenny Omega, and Brody King team up against Ricochet and the Gates of Agony (The Demand). Meanwhile, Darby Allin claims that until he has a religious experience, he will continue his quest for the AEW Heavyweight Championship. Unfortunately, his next hurdle is Andrade, which might actually lead to meeting his maker. The Brawling Birds and Mina Shirakawa prove their worth against Thekla and the Sisters of Sin because why not, while Cope stops Cage from hitting Renee with a chair because she's there. Will Ospreay's night doesn't turn out the way he expected, nor did the match that we expected to get. Check out the pod for the Jericho praise and stay for the hot takes!

Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico unpack the first Dynamite after Revolution, covering Will Ospreay's quick win and immediate neck-war escalation with Jon Moxley and Pac, plus Mox and Wheeler Yuta's uneasy tag victory that proves the Death Riders are anything but stable. They dig into Darby Allin and Gabe Kidd's completely unhinged parking-lot beatdown that turns into a Coffin Match, Swerve Strickland's promo where he stops talking about just the AEW World Title and starts calling his shot at Kenny Omega's EVP power, and Speedball Mike Bailey's “I earned this” showcase victory over Mark Davis. The crew also covers Mina Shirakawa beating Marina Shafir in a no holds barred fight using Toni Storm's own Storm Zero as the mystery attacker angle deepens, the Jurassic Express bus delivering Jack Perry to team with the Young Bucks against Okada and Best Friends, and the closing scene where Adam Copeland and Christian Cage announce they are coming for FTR at Dynasty and finish the night holding the tag belts while the Bucks watch from the floor.

The AEW-Some Pod is back for episode 223 with hosts Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico, to talk some good ole Texas Death Match Fallout and this past weekend's nearly 5-hour Pay Per View, AEW Revolution! The Bucks and FTR had one of the best matches of their respective careers ending with the return of two legends, hellbent on revenge. Toni Storm finds out what it's like to get "Rowdy" after her match with Marina Shafir. Takeshita and Moxley exceed the normal 20 minute time limit for their Continental Championship match resulting in a return only made possible by a Star Wars Bacta tank and three gallons of Red Bull. Andrade and Bandito played a weird game of "Pants off Dance off" resulting in one of the top matches of the night! The women's tag team championship match led to a surprise upset. The Toxic Spider went 2 out of three falls in a hell of a banger. Swerve attempted to teach us who the real most violent man is as long as Omega didn't obstruct... Oh, wait. New trios champions were crowned. It was insanity at it's finest, until insanity was redefined by the the AEW World Heavyweight Championship Texas Death Match (takes breath) between Hangman Adam Page and current champ, the double cross ranch's own MJF, in what could possibly be the most violence injecting (See what I did there?), bloody, dog collar wearing, light bulb flinging, rig exploding, barbed wire infusing, Texas Death Match in history! Was inflicting this amount of pain excessive? Possibly. Was it AEW-some? Absolutely!

It's episode 222 of the AEW-Some Pod, and your favorite trio of a comedian and two horror hosts, Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico, is here to break down the action inside of the Mission Ballroom in the "mile high city" of Denver, Colorado! Moxley goes face to face with Hologram's better side, El Clon. Swerve Strictland lets us all know his frustrations with AEW and one fan's "momma!" Gabe Kidd continues to take up air time. Kevin Knight and Mansoor have a high flying match up, while Brody King and Mark Davis have a clubbing session. The AEW Women's tag team title ends with concern, while unsurprisingly, MJF attempts to swerve the upcoming World Heavyweight championship match with a fake coin to manipulate before Hangman can stipulate. (Rhyming is fun!) The main event could have been a show all of it's own as the Rascalz, the Bucks, and Jack Perry went above and beyond as they took on the The Demand's Ricochet and the Gates of Agony along with FTR in Mile High Madness where anything goes and it most certainly does!

Then they go long on the main event as Kenny Omega and Swerve Strickland finally collide: Snap Dragons on the apron, avalanche Dragon suplexes, double Swerve Stomps, and a clean Swerve win followed by one of the nastiest post-match beatdowns they've done on TV as Swerve hangs Omega with a chain in front of a horrified Sacramento crowd.

On Episode 220 of The AEW-some Pod, Diana Prince, Johnny Taylor, and Gringo Fantastico hit Grand Slam Australia: Moxley and Takeshita beating each other to a 20-minute draw before Mox cheap-shoves him and eats a Raging Fire receipt, Babes of Wrath hanging onto the tag belts while Lena Kross forms a new monster trio, Toni Storm and Orange Cassidy finally shaving Wheeler Yuta bald, and Kyle Fletcher surviving a sick ladder match with Mark Briscoe to keep the TNT Title. They close with MJF vs. Brody King, where Brody throws everything at Max, hits the Eliminator finish that killed him in Vegas, and still watches the champ chew up his knee and win with a Heat Seeker as “F--- ICE” chants echo through Qudos Bank Arena.

Betty Boyd Caroli's biography of Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch is the first full-length work on a seminal figure in the settlement house movement, which spearheaded efforts to improve the life of immigrants and to counter urban squalor in cities around America in the early 19th century. Greenwich House, the community center Simkhovitch founded in 1902 in Greenwich Village, then a destination point for new immigrants to New York, quickly gained a reputation equal to that of Jane Addams's Hull House in Chicago, providing services in health, recreation, education, and the arts (which Greenwich House continues to do to this day). Simkhovitch became a tireless advocate of public housing and has been called by some "the mother of public housing." She played a central role in designing and administering the first public housing projects in America during the New Deal, in which she was an integral figure. The National Housing Conference, which she founded in 1931, continues to operate in our current "housing crisis" as among the most prominent advocates for safe, affordable housing. She co-wrote the National House Act of 1937, the first piece of legislation to establish the federal government's responsibility to help provide low-income families with housing. A Slumless America: Mary K. Simkhovitch and the Dream of Affordable Housing (Oxford University Press, 2026) by Caroli, best-known for her work on presidential First Ladies, which has gone through multiple editions, will become the standard account of a truly remarkable life. Born in New England and educated in Boston and at the University of Berlin, Simkhovitch married a Russian intellectual seven years her junior who spoke no English and had no job prospects. Raising a family while working for her rapidly expanding set of causes, Simkhovitch was portrayed in a DC Comics series (also featuring Diana Prince) in the early 1940s as a "Wonder Woman of History" for her seeming ability to do it all: take on the full spectrum of urban ills while also raising and supporting her family. Her husband eventually joined the Columbia faculty and became a noted art collector, advising collectors such as J. P. Morgan, while she exposed the squalor of Downtown slums. The stress of trying to do it all took a heavy toll on Simkhovitch, but her lifelong, passionate advocacy of and contributions to housing reform continued unabated and remains both inspiring and relevant. Betty Boyd Caroli is a graduate of Oberlin College and holds an MA in Mass Communication from Annenberg School of University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Ph.D. in American Civilization from New York University. She studied at the Università Per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy, and the Salzburg Seminar in Austria. A Fulbright in Italy led her to teach at the British College in Palermo, the English School in Rome, and two branches of City University of New York (Queens College and Kingsborough Community College).

She played a central role in designing and administering the first public housing projects in America during the New Deal, in which she was an integral figure. The National Housing Conference, which she founded in 1931, continues to operate in our current "housing crisis" as among the most prominent advocates for safe, affordable housing. She co-wrote the National House Act of 1937, the first piece of legislation to establish the federal government's responsibility to help provide low-income families with housing. A Slumless America: Mary K. Simkhovitch and the Dream of Affordable Housing (Oxford University Press, 2026) by Caroli, best-known for her work on presidential First Ladies, which has gone through multiple editions, will become the standard account of a truly remarkable life. Born in New England and educated in Boston and at the University of Berlin, Simkhovitch married a Russian intellectual seven years her junior who spoke no English and had no job prospects. Raising a family while working for her rapidly expanding set of causes, Simkhovitch was portrayed in a DC Comics series (also featuring Diana Prince) in the early 1940s as a "Wonder Woman of History" for her seeming ability to do it all: take on the full spectrum of urban ills while also raising and supporting her family. Her husband eventually joined the Columbia faculty and became a noted art collector, advising collectors such as J. P. Morgan, while she exposed the squalor of Downtown slums. The stress of trying to do it all took a heavy toll on Simkhovitch, but her lifelong, passionate advocacy of and contributions to housing reform continued unabated and remains both inspiring and relevant. Betty Boyd Caroli is a graduate of Oberlin College and holds an MA in Mass Communication from Annenberg School of University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Ph.D. in American Civilization from New York University. She studied at the Università Per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy, and the Salzburg Seminar in Austria. A Fulbright in Italy led her to teach at the British College in Palermo, the English School in Rome, and two branches of City University of New York (Queens College and Kingsborough Community College).

Episode 205 brings all the smoke as Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico break down this past weekend's AEW Wrestledream! There were betrayals, bathroom breaks, and bedlam. Jon Moxley repurposed the lost art of the swirlie in an attempt to make someone much smaller than him (Darby Allin) cry uncle, much to the chagrin of social media. Samoa Joe and “Hangman” Adam Page went full on classic wrestling match for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. Tag matches were off the chain as the Hurt Syndicate went 3 on 3 is with the terribly named “The Demand.” Brodido went to blows with a fractured team up of Okada and Takeshita, while Jurassic Express put on an absolute banger with the Bucks. Oh... and Mercedes Moné was there to take the fun out of the PPV with her 8,000 title belts as she spoiled the celebration for the winner of the Women's Championship match between Toni Storm and the champ, Kris Statlander. More happened, but you'll have to listen to find out! Join the trio for this exciting hour of all the analytics, shenanigans, and hot takes you can handle! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

THE SWIMMER (1968) We dive deep in to The Swimmer and discuss and analyze, maybe just a little bit the glorious film directed by Frank Perry, based on a screenplay by Eleanor Perry, from the 12 page short story by John Cheever. "Well-off ad man Ned Merrill (Burt Lancaster) is visiting a friend when he notices the abundance of backyard pools that populate their upscale suburb. Ned suddenly decides that he'd like to travel the eight miles back to his own home by simply swimming across every pool in town."If you're reading this I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

This week on The AEW-some Pod, Diana Prince, Gringo Fantastico, and Johnny Taylor ride into Roanoke for a Collision recap that's got it all—big boots, bigger pops, and… a suspicious amount of chopping. The Fletcher vs. Ishii TNT Title slugfest was about the only thing Gringo liked, Hangman lit up his home-state crowd, and Willow Nightingale tried to steal the night from an entire spooky trio. Plus—Big Bill keeps wandering into other people's matches, Ricochet's “respect tour” continues, and Harley Cameron's pink mask might be haunted. Strap in—this one's part love letter, part roast.
It's Episode 194 of The AEW-some Pod, and your favorite three-person powerbomb of hot takes is back — Diana Prince (actress, horror icon, wrestling superfan), Johnny Taylor (comedian, touring headliner, wrestling encyclopaedia with jokes), and Gringo Fantastico (masked marvel, lucha libre storyteller, indie wrestling veteran). This week, the crew breaks down AEW Dynamite from Cleveland — from Brodido's shock clean win over the Bucks, to MJF's war of words and fists with Mark Briscoe and Hangman Page, to Kyle Fletcher's… very revealing TNT Title celebration with Don Callis.
The trio of Diana Prince (aka Darcy the Mail Girl from The Last Drive-In), Johnny Taylor (stand-up comedian, Bummin' with the Devil on Tubi), and Gringo Fantastico (masked lucha veteran, Fantastico Disasterpiece Theater) dive into AEW Dynamite's chaos buffet: Hangman nearly hangs Yuta, FTR cheats into the next round, Ospreay's injured but vengeful, Athena fakes a cash-in, Okada jumps Swerve, and MJF gets dropped by the Hurt Syndicate—and roasted by Mark Briscoe. Plus: reflections on the passing of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan. It was a week of filled with Cowboy justice, neck trauma, and tag team treachery—served with reverence, rage, and rapid-fire wit.
Johnny Taylor, Diana Prince, and Gringo Fantastico are back with a new episode and a bit a new format for their Collision recap! The trio discusses, briefly, the ends and outs of this past weekend's AEW Collision, and for the first time ever cross promotions to talk about headlines throughout the world of professional wrestling! From a Mercedes Moné calling out fans for being pervs, Bill Goldberg being less than happy about how his retirement match went down, to a record setting weekend for TNA, the AEW-Some Pod crew (not Cru) is here to break it down story by story!
TWO Christmas Adventures in ONE! First, it's Christmas Eve, yet it's anything but a silent night when a villainous plot tries to keep Batman and Madison from a charity event at the Southside Mission!
