Which it turns out are mostly stupid, idiotic, or just plain ridiculous. We also hear an excellent set of Hep Snaps.. why are they excellent? Cause Busby didn't write them... ha!

Or as Bad News Allen would say.. Wrestle-a-mania predictions; we finish our discussion on top wrestling finishing maneuvers.. well.. not exactly as we realize we need to do our Wrestle-a-mania picks as we are halfway through and we table what's left. We also chair it.. but that all the dining room props we use. Basically we talk about wrestling for the majority of the show in anticipation of the Busby-free episodes to come and I'm not sure how I feel about that, the wrestling not the Busby. And of

After a stellar 100th episode, Raven and crew (meaning Busby) try to scale the bar set by a 100 previous episodes immortalized in the previous.. uh, 100 episodes(?).
