Gregory Iron is joined by special guest host Benjamin Boone as they talk about a very serious, adult, old, broken down wrestler subject: life after professional wrestling.

The guys delve into their original wrestling goals and aspirations, how those changed over the years, how having a backup plan -- or not -- impacted their adult lives, the personal and financial sacrifices made along the journey towards their dreams, when they started to realize it was time to attempt thinking like a real adult human, and most importantly, how they have failed and if it's possible to have a happy ending with what they did.

Exclusive to Patreon, the guys talk for over an hour extra about Lufisto and the AEW women's division controversy, how they think AEW All In is looking, and their thoughts, said in Bret Hart's voice, "in The Summerslam" 2023.
