  • Summary

  • All the world’s a stage. Or, sometimes it feels that way, especially these days. In this episode, originally aired in 2015, we push through the fourth wall, pierce the spandex-ed heart of professional wrestling, and travel 400 years into the past to unmask our obsession with authenticity and our desire to walk the line between reality and fantasy.

    Thanks to Nick Hakim for the use of his song "The Light".

Their hook on the pro wrestling story is wrong

The Montreal Screw Job wasn't real. The entire thing was a work. This kind of defeats their entire point and invalidates the segment.
