This is also a beautiful and inspirational story of love and deep compassion. Don't miss this episode. If you know someone going through a tough time, making remarks, making threats to kill themselves, it's time to speak up. You can be the difference in someone's life. And here is the proof of that.

Then we bid goodbye...for now to an AFC staple...Evil Dave Wansted.  I tell you how he won our mental chess match this week and send Evil Dave into the darkness.

In this episode, I tell you stories about my former drug life.  I used to have a real passion for dropping acid in my childhood bedroom by myself.  I tell you how i narrowly avoided killing myself and my sister, I tell you why I thought Star Wars was real, how I got lost at a concert in the privacy of my own room and much more.

I don't condone the use of drugs but hopefully my stories will make you think twice about doing them and help you laugh a little bit as well.

First episode of 2014! 

    Dom Yosi (@serebrius) stopped by and we sat down and watched the classic 1992 WWF Royal Rumble and did audio commentary over it.   We talk the feud between Ric Flair/Sid Justice/Hulk Hogan, we talk about the the creepiness of the bushwackers licking heads of children and we talk about some of our favorite wrestling gimmicks like Tugboat, and Repo Man.  You can find this full match on Youtube, if you want to follow along, or you can just sit back and listen. 

Please let us know if there are matches or ppvs, you would like us to talk about! We are going to try and do an episode like this one around once a month or so.

 Also we need a name for this wrestling themed podcast, so send us your suggestions.

Do you want to come on AFC and be a guest?  Everyone has a story to tell...let's tell yours!
