G1 Climax Special with Benjamin Linzy and Allen Thomas

G1 Climax Special with Benjamin Linzy and Allen Thomas

WARNING: This episode is about pro wrestling. If that's not your thing, my feelings won't be hurt if you don't listen to it. This podcast follows me on a special day where I attended the opening day of the G1 Climax in Dallas, Texas. To be honest, I hate the first 15 minutes where I'm on my own, but I really didn't want to record a new intro to explain the changes. Once our recap of the show starts, it gets really good. Ben, Allen, and I have a great time breaking down a great experience.

Episode 7: #AskOutlaw

I'm flying solo this episode, and the result is a miraculous disaster of a podcast! I go in way too deep on my depression, then answer some Twitter questions, and then somehow or another I ended up reading my high school term paper. This episode might as well be called the Outlaw Mud Show Podcast.
