Yo Mama en Agorum Est (Pt 1)

From John Cena to Catullus, from ancient Greece to the WWE, join us this week as we have a few drinks with Emily about the incredibly homoerotic world of wrestling (and shit-talking)! In this part one of two, we cover the industry standards of schtick, appropriating culture, and pecking orders (complete with chickens)!

NOTE: The wrestler I couldn't remember the name of during this episode was Damarchus (some translations call him Damaenetus). I had quoted the wrong book, though in Man Into Wolf Dr Eiser makes several mentions back to a text which would go into the Arcadian wolf-cult in more detail, it is in Dennis Hughes’ Human Sacrifice in Ancient Greece that the specific wrestler is mentioned.

The Blink 182 music video mentioned can be found here, and the chicken video mentioned can be found here.
