Joe Versus The World #75: Developmental Heaven/Hell

[powerpress]

Joe vs. the World returns!  This week, we’re joined by Dylan Hales of the Wrestling Culture podcast, as we run down the entire NXT roster.  We go from A(drian Neville) to Z(ayn, Sami) and decide who stays, who gets called up, and who gets cut, plus thoughts on incoming talent, and who we would sign.  Plus Bull Dempsey on Hey Dude!, what the hell are the Ascension?, nobody likes CJ Parker, and much much more!  Over an hour of podcast power!

As always, donations to the March of Dimes are appreciated. https://www.marchofdimes.com/giving/support_general.html

List ‘Em and Learn Episode 3: Microchips and Mood Music

List ‘Em and Learn returns for its third installment. This time Matt and his schoolyard bully…I mean schoolyard chum Roger Matthews list the top 10 games for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Roger bullies Matt again by dropping all kinds of knowledge about each game on the list. If you thought the wrestling podcasts were nerdy, wait until you hear about the MMC3 chip. Parsing and perusing through pixels of plumbers and princesses, it’s an alliterative wonderland of video game excitement. Did your favorite game make the list? The answer is yes, unless you like some weird game no one has ever heard of. IT’S A PODCAST ABOUT VIDEO GAMES SO CHECK IT OUT!
