Tunnel Talk

This week's Dynamite brought us all the extremes of human emotion. We're so sad both at the loss of the Butcher and for Rebel and her ALS diagnosis, as well as very moved by everyone coming together to support her and ALS research. And then the rest of Dynamite was incredibly fun AND incredibly horny at a level that frankly didn't feel appropriate under the circumstances? Wrestling, you are quite a medium. From Thekla and a man being beaten with a raw chicken carcass to Hangman and Swerve doing All Time Horny Looking, to literally everything about Steven James...

Ohhh my God we went SO long. But it was NOT our fault—it's our post-All In ep, and there was SO much to cover! We start with Kenny and Will's long awaited Wembley dance and the girls dig into what worked and what didn't! And then it was over to Dynamite where Will had his big first speech to the whole school as class president and he was NOT a very good role model. Then we have NEW MEN to discuss! We meet the New Level for the first time, and we LOVE their bounce. Brit Baker's back— your...

It's an early drop from Tunnel Talk! The All In build was so boring that Anne left town, and we roped in friend, artist and previous guest host of the pod Blorb to join us! We take All In match by match and discuss how it was built, what happened this week, and whether any of it made sense. Plus, we flesh out further the HDU of Big Jangman, propose some perfect ideas for the Casino Gauntlet, and dig in on what exactly is going on at the Death Riders' Kids Table. Tony it's not too late to make...

Well, the girls said drearily, it's almost All In. And boy oh boy very little makes sense! We go in depth on Kenny and Ospreay's big sit down this week, which was coherent... unless you remember anything that happened more than one (1) day ago! We go on to complain about Cope and Christian and how insane it would be if they retain the belt. Then we go on to complain about Nigel! What a WEEK. At least Willow and Mercedes are doing great work, and it looks like Darby has found a lover in Steven James Borden. Let's hope...

We did a slightly new format this week, with Anne and Lea taking turns guiding the discussion, and we need you to be REALLY nice about it -- but not too nice! You'll find it, you'll find it. This week in AEW, Kenny and Will decided that a face vs. face feud was bad so instead they're going to do... heel vs. heel? Hmm. Darby and Jericho continue to be aligned, and we're pretty sure that Darby's the only one that Big J is telling about his new exciting relationship with Hangman. Too bad Darby let it slip to...

We're Back! We catch up on everything we missed--the attempted bagging at Redemption, the war of words between Kenny and Ospreay, and Mox's slow descent into madness. Also, surprisingly, the reveal that Pac is the Death Riders' beloved dog. We validate your kink, King! Plus MJF's back, Willow's our champ, and we officially meet the Motor City Machine Guns! Hangman fans are not gonna like this one, but for the rest of you? Enjoy us!

It's the last day before the girls' vacation week, and we're a little zonked! Cope n Christian are challenging the Death Riders to challenge them for Their Championships, and the Young Bucks think that's soooo cute. Kenny and Mox put their dogson between them and makes him choose to his total dismay. Plus the girls come to terms with Willow's Redemption, muse on Mick Foley's bigfoot headache, and some of us are stll so horny for Clark Connors. See ya in two weeks!

The summer’s moving forward, but are the storylines on AEW? Well, some more than others. Kenny took us to heaven this week inventing new kinds of English, a real Dadaist painting of a promo. That’s the words that he’s talking to you, Maxob! We’re really not sure where the Ospreay and Mox thing is going, and honestly - should we be bad? Should we just let Kenny stay champion? Plus, the Young Bucks are on their classic bad-friend behavior, Cope and Christian are FOR SOME REASON teasing that they might break up, the Bang Bang Gang gav...

Dynamite came to us live this week from the art scene of St. Pete Clearwater Florida, and everyone dressed down for Kenny Day! We discuss our champ’s big win, the return of Gabe Kidd, Mick Foley’s Dead Dog Shoes, Thekla’s joyful terrorism of the commentary table, and The Old Man Boyslap Sand Fight. Come, put a layer of clothes on and join us!

Thank GOD we're out of Forbidden Door season because Tony Khan showed back up ready to Reagan! And Kenny Omega? We saw him on TV more this week than we have in years! He had a big emotional journey, from telling Will Ospreay that he loves him to deciding whether to wager it all on The Hangman Stipulation for a title shot next week, while his doting Young Bucks tried not to fight about what he should do. This storyline is as tight and perky as his nips! Meanwhile Ospreay's officially a Death Rider, Andrade is playing with the...

Forbidden Door Season swings to a close, and Kyle O'Reilly is LOCKING it behind him. We cover all the goings-on with the newly formed DCMJF family and the Conglomeration, and Swerve and Ospreay's sexy stare-offs. We finally admit there might be some issues in the sexy Death Riders training story, and extensively laud what Mercedes, Athena, and Maya World are up to. Plus, the Dogs are covered in peanut butter, Ciampa marries Jericho, and ZSJ sees us next Tuesdays. Bye summer camp visitors! See ya next year!

We’re still deep in Forbidden Door season, but thank God TK didn’t leave us in the doldrums of last week and we DO seem to be building some storylines again! Kenny showed up to work and revealed his plan to get back on top: fighting Zack Sabre Jr…? Huh. Love to see you though, Ken! Thekla’s the only one absolutely killing it with a Forbidden Door storyline, but she’s working hard enough for ten men and doing an incredible job. Of course she doesn’t have the glass ceiling over her that Mark Briscoe does, but still. A...

It's Forbidden Door season and you know what that means: they are NOT our favorite episodes of Dynamite. Tony's really gathered up some dregs for storylines, and is Zack Sabre Jr the only guy left at NJPW? But at least Mox is still hamming his heart out, Will Ospreay is the most hapless little doof on Earth, and Mercedes is back! Plus, Ciampa and Jericho: is the way they see each other the most romantic way anyone can? All this and more!

It's a sleepy little float down a lazy river at AEW this week, but you KNOW your girls make their own fun. First, we check in on the Men's Title Scene which Mark Briscoe is part of now. Sure! Kevin Knight and Speedball had their Divorce Match which sort of underwhelmed us, but don't worry, we had some great ideas for how they could spice it up. Plus, Tony got scared of how mad we were last week and brought Mercedes back! And not a MOMENT too soon! Plus, Mox gives Ospreay Daddy Lessons, Ciampa's in a one-sided feud...

It’s our post-Double or Nothing episode and you’ll never BELIEVE the quality of the opinions you’ll hear from us: that’s right, they’re bad. Think of someone with good taste, someone the IWC would like and respect, and then reverse those opinions! We’re pervert perverts, not moves perverts, and we WON’T apologize. Anyway, we take you through what we loved, what we hated, what we snoozed to and what we jerked off to. Plus, a few meditations on an extended AEW sleepover our son is having at our shared house, and what Andrade gets up to in...

We’re back and we’ve got Double or Nothing Senioritis baybee! We learn some new pertinent facts about Darby’s corporate BDSM contract with Tony, Chantilly Lace Thighs Kylo Reilly has got Mox’s number, Cope finally gives the girls what they want, and Jericho should become a lighthouse keeper. Also we saw Swerve’s butt. Hey everyone? Gratitude moment.

It was a somewhat boring week in AEW, but don't you worry, we found things to discuss! There's Darby's title reign (which rules) and his beautiful insistence on MJF offering up his hair plugs as collateral for a title shot. We popped 30 boners over Moxley's seduction of Will Ospreay (that's right: ten each), and after horning out for awhile you can hear us painfully, carefully try to imagine what the storyline looks like for those without eyes to see. Statlander shoved Shida up against a wall, which begs the question: are we booking AEW right now? We'll look as...

Big Anne was taken of commission this week, and so Friend of the Pod Mike Meginnis stepped in to save the day! There was a lot to cover this week--Darby came down from the sky like the itsy-bitsy spider, Shida's causing trouble, The Tag Team Street Fight Retirement I Quit Match is insanely overegged, and Mox and Ospreay were getting into stufff so demented we needed new vocabulary. Did we lose our minds a little? OK, how you know?

Tony Khan didn’t Reagan this week, but we tried to keep our spirits up anyway, even if we HAVE tipped over the “Too Many Old Men” threshold. At least quite a few people stood or posed weirdly, we got to discuss who’s a good bottom (normal wrestling term), and got to view the Death Riders spiriting Will Ospreay away to their dungeon! Plus, how many Dogs are there? We’re down a dog!

This week's Dynamite was Tunnel Talk's PERFECT episode. We saw so many perfectly absurd things, we were on the moon! From Darby's breathless sobbing promo to Kenny's Big Soliloquy to Thekla's dirtbag catcalling Renee, it was an episode meant for us! Plus Jericho's pants are bigger than the whole sky, Takeshtakada are having a blast clowning, and FTR sucks wind. What a week!

Are you ready for another Tunnel Talk episode that will be jossed mere hours after it comes out by another one of Tony Khan’s PPVs? Well, have I got the episode for you! We talk everything important in AEW running up to the show: Moxley giving us the thesis statement of a PPV about identity and self-determination; Will Ospreay’s friends who go to another school; MJF’s title reign overall and of course the State of Kenny’s Tummy. Plus, Thekla says the most evilly horny things to Lexy Nair that we’ve ever heard, our beautiful blue-eyed...

Chris Jericho is back and we REALLY needed that. Welcome home Big J! Plus Kenny and MJF had their big showdown and it was...weird, cadencewise. And DON'T talk to us about jingoism. Darby's trying to catch sight of the face of God, apparently and Mox is being beautifully condescending to Will Opsreay who just can't get it together. And Thekla? She's a lunatic. Join us!

It's the moment everyone's all been waiting for — that's right, it's the finals of the B2 BEST BODIES TOURNAMENT! But first, your girls go through the week in AEW, from MJF's cartooning to Kenny Omega's cartooning in response, from Will Ospreay's attempt at parenting Jon Moxley to Moxley's far superior attempt at parenting Ospreay. Plus, ChrisnChristian are at it again, Darby makes his case for being the most dangerous man at AEW (because he IS a danger to himself), Lio Rush has a new gimmick and is Roddy gonna turn on OC??? All this and more this week on Tu...

It's Tunnel Talk's fifth anniversary! Can you believe we've been doing this for five years? Neither can we! With our wrestling themed cocktails in hand, we tackle Revolution and the events afterwards. Ospreay's back! Cope and Christian only have eyes for the Young Bucks! Gabe Kidd got flipped in a car! And the time of night the main event started caused the girls to have seething resentment towards Hangman and MJF. We were way over time before we even got to Week 4 of the B2 where there was a SHOCKING upset! Join us!

Watch the B2 Slideshow...

It’s the week before Revolution, and we honestly went on a storyline cleanup tear—the most fun a girl can have with her clothes on. We talk through Hangman and MJF and the world title, why their press conference didn’t really work and how they could’ve done it better. We ALSO had a couple of nonsensical turns this week, with typical wrestler-pretending-for-nobody work, but don’t worry, Roddy and Ciampa, we figured out how everything you’re doing makes perfect sense. We also talk through the interpersonal dynamics of THE DOGS, whether Willow is signaling a heel turn, a...

Great energy in this one as the girls twirl and trip through this week in wrestling! Kevin Knight teaches us a little something about charm, and we think MJF is falling for it! Tommasso Ciampa does NOT like FTR and neither does our new favorite youtuber who satisfyingly annihilated them! Hook is absolutely in charge of the Opps, and he's backstage playing Killer, Killer, Killer? A hot new game! And we have a new man, and we're split on whether to like them! PLUS it's week two of the B2, and we're thrown into a few crises! Too many...

AEW hit a lot of semi-nonsensical but mostly enjoyable beats this week, with Hangman and MJF’s weird stipulation negotiations, Swerve justifying his heel turn, and Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander continuing their weird ?? friendship question mark?? Though we might have cracked that one open with a beautiful little cloud story. And then… it’s March, and you know what that means! That’s right, it’s the inaugural week of the 2026 Best Bodies (B2) tournament! This year it’s a round robin between the top 12 bodies nominated by listeners, and BOY did we have an upset right out of the gate...

Your girls got TRICKED into watching Grand Slam, a show where nothing actually happened, but that's okay. We're off the wall about it anyway! We discuss Hangman's similarities (or not) to MJF, Swerve's bad boy adventures, FTR aka Drip and Dribble's resentment of the beloved Young Bucks, and Yuta's Big Haircut. Plus, Hook's the head of domestic recruitment for the Opps now, and we COULDN'T be happier.

Help us build our bracket for our annual March Madness Best Bodies Tournament!

The girls are back in town! That’s right, FINALLY all three Tunnel Talkettes are reunited and it feels sooooo good. Let’s get this car OFF the rails already! And it was a crazy week, with multiple unexpected title changes for us to work through. We get back in the swing of things with a discussion of the men’s world title scene* and how Kenny and Swerve are going about their feud. From that big new matchup, we go into a matchup we’ve seen many, many times before, FTR and the Young Bucks. Also, Thekla’s the new Wo...

Listeners, as of recording, Allie was still stranded on the East Coast, so Anne and Lea bravely carried on, serving as two legs of a stool, barely balanced on a hope and a dream. Hell yeah! Mister New Man Ciampa has a belt now thanks to the support of the fans. What fans? The ones who watched NXT, I guess. Darby’s experiencing exquisite agonies at the hands of our newest NJPW pals who may or may not go here. He may be erotically satisfied but we’re not entirely sure we are. Thank God Andrade, Kenny, Swerve and Hang...

Allie’s still in exile, but Lea and Anne have intrepidly brought the podcast back anyway, and frankly we should all applaud their bravery in these difficult times! We brought on our friend Mike for a catchup/amnesty episode to bring us up to speed on all the AEW fun that we’ve missed, from Jon Moxley’s Grindset Influencing to the pleasures of watching two big men cheerfully yell. That’s right, we invited some mansplaining and we loved every single second of it! It was thrilling to hear about Swerve and Hangman’s psychosexual escapades with Kenny and with J...

It’s our final podcast of 2025! And what a way to go out. We do a deep dive into MJF’s return and his returning promo, which we did not find to be successful. Then we get into the Connie and all the men’s emotions in their pretty good post-match promos! The Elite and the DCF also had a very fun match and we talk about how we’ll all get old someday, so that’s pretty normal and cool. And finally, we finish the year with a holiday edition of the dating game, for our deep winter imagines...

It's our penultimate episode before Christmas break, and the girls show up tipsy and distractable. After an extra-long chitchat section, we finally get down to business and dig into Swerve and Hangman's sexy new partnership and the eternal cockblock that is Josh Alexander. Plus the Women's Tag Team tournament finally crowned their winners and we were NOT expecting the result! Then it's Connie Season and there's some real highlights to cover and perhaps some room for improvement as well. Don't worry, the girls have some ideas that could help! Also, The Elite are back together to defeat the Ham...

We’re back from Thanksgiving break and frankly? We had a lot pent up that we needed to get out! From accidentally implying new kinks that make everyone uncomfortable to an expansion of our rich ham-based world, we go into hysterics for many, many very stupid reasons. In between, we talk through a weird, slightly-off episode of Dynamite, make up a few rumors we’re hoping make their way back to Dave Meltzer, and are ready to be enchanted by our Third Connie! Join us… if you dare.

It’s our post-Full Gear episode, and thanks to Thanksgiving, your girls are recording on a Monday, which is quite destabilizing—also destabilizing us? Samoa Joe is our champion. Again. Thank GOD we have Sexy Big Muscles Swerve to comfort us in our (and Hangman’s) time of need. Plus, Anne and Lea attempt an intervention on Allie about her Pac situation, The Elite Hug It Out, Mark Briscoe won his match (derogatory), and none of Kyle Fletcher’s suitors even tried to help him. Sad!

It's Double Bloody Gutty time and your FREAK hosts had a blast of a time. The girls opened the show and lost their damn minds. Blood! Murder! Violence! Willow spurns Kris again! Toni dies so that Mina may live! Our women's division ROCKS. Then we had an intermission featuring Hangman's tits (good) and FTR rambling (bad) before the boys unleashed. Blood! Murder! Violence! OC's little hands get stapled! Roddy gets gnawed on and NOT by Kyle! Mox taps again! What a night. PLUS: The Young Bucks are in quite a pickle and Mark Briscoe brings ham!

It was a pretty weird week and your girls are revved up! We're coming out of the gate with a streak of good ideas, one right after the other — an AEW Clue Game! A remake of 3 Men and a Baby but it's Two Men and a Hook! Josh "The Cockblock" Alexander! Brian Cage with a third knee! And then we kind of narrow in on One Big Good Idea that you might be able to guess: that's right, it's Ham. Anyway but yeah, the wrestling: we're talking about Hangman's new alliance with Eddie and Hook, we're talking about the Do...

Everything dies, baby that’s a fact. The girls are in MOODS this week, but it’s not the fault of Dynamite! It was a fun show, and we run through a discussion of OC’s beautiful eyebags, Mox’s campaign for a spot on the MLH award’s commemorative choker, Kris Stat has a Stat Chat, and we close our hearts once again to FTR. We run through it preeeettttty fast though, because for our health and wellbeing? We play the dating game!

It’s a post PPV week and we had a lot to say! Moxley and Darby gave us a truly sexually unhinged I Quit match, which Mox obviously only quit because he had to get somewhere private to [redacted]. Sting showed up and so obviously we talked about catfish (the fish kind) (not the internet kind). We also do a deep dive into why Samoa Joe isn’t working for us, though his Official Heel Turn did help, and what kind of narratives need some moralizing and which ones don’t. In the Hall of the Mountain King started playin...

Early Pre-PPV episode! Hangman shows his quietly competent side once again by stirring himself to save Samoa Joe despite Joe not remotely deserving it. Mox visits Darby in jail and sends the girls into fits of ecstasy and Kris and Toni are panting to get to each other and we’re panting to see it. Bring on Wrestledream!
