Interludes - Power Rangers, Pandas, and Presidents with Phil Stamper, Caitlyn Fitzgerald, and TJay Sykes
Illness has struck again, which means it's time for a new assortment of Interludes - hidden gems and deleted scenes from past episodes stored away to deliver big for just this moment! This week's collection is a series of entertaining anecdotes grouped together largely by one of my favorite rhetorical devices - alliteration. So much like an Episode of Sesame Street, today's episode is brought to by the letter P - for Power Rangers, Pandas, and Presidents! First up is the President of Wrestling, PHIL STAMPER, who shares the origin of his title and some advice on leadership & responsibility. Next CAITLYN FITZGERALD and Jason dive into the defacto mascot of the National Zoo, the Great Panda, and take issue with a certain subset of trolls rooting for species extinction. And finally, "The Red Prince" TJAY SYKES gets passionate about his immense love for Power Rangers, and Jason accidentally trips into a genuine sore spot for the man & his fandom - because even after the better part of a lifetime, some pains remain the same. Enjoy these untold tales of past possibilities, and assuming Jason & his colon are on speaking terms next week, look forward to a new adventure then!

CELESTE This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Brittany's niece Celeste Perry, who tragically passed several weeks ago. Celeste was smart, filled with personality and attitude, and had a wonderfully dark sense of humor at a young age. She was a little girl who loved cats, unicorns, paw patrol, and had just developed a fascination for the Super Mario Brothers. She was also very strong, very brave, and determined to communicate and connect. When illness took her ability to speak, she fought and found a way to do so despite the complications. Celeste unfortunately suffered from Reducing Body Myopathy, an incredibly rare genetic condition that causes a breakdown of the muscular system. RBM is such a rare & little known disease that it doesn't have a significant level of public awareness or spokesperson to lead research fundraising.

Welcome to another Friday Edition of Collected Possibilities, an Existential Explorer's guide into the human heart and mind, where somehow every week we manage to convince an amazing assortment of interesting people to get very personal very quickly by asking them the Existential Question of The Week. This episode we're trying to desperately turn back the clock on graying hair, creaky bones, and abandoned dreams. We are chasing youth, baby, through a medium that deeply most inspires memories - songs. Our panel this week includes a Roller Derbist, a Women's Wrestling Champion, a Space Lawyer, and more, all heaping up a healthy dose of musical nostalgia as they answer the question - "What Song Makes You Feel Young?"

Welcome to the very first Friday edition of Collected Possibilities, focused on our Existential Question of the Week! This week's focus is sauces, spreads, toppings, and the like - the added & enhanced flavor experience only a condiment can provide. There are so many different options out there and only a few are so ubiquitous that you can find them in nearly ever US restaurant or home regardless of culture, price point, or style of cuisine. We know our Main Eventers, our Mount Rushmore, dominated by familar named like Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonaise, and BBQ Sauce. That leaves incredible ingredients as relative unknowns to large swathes of people. So lets open our eyes, and mouths, to the possibilities by asking - "What is The Most Under Rated Condiment?" Along the way try not to get caught in the Honey Mustard hate, ruminate on the essence of "zing," and confront our underlying fear of fruit spreads. Be a fly on the wall at Geek Brunch, and learn which condiment is the only one to be picked twice by our esteemed panel of experts!

Cosmic Bowling at Northside Lanes with Zakar Shah, or "An Empty Bar-Mitzvah Meets a Disco"
It's not often you get to experience something with someone for the first time, and that's what makes this episode special. "The Exile" ZAKAR SHAH was born in Iran where bowling was... not as essential to the childhood experience as it is in the states. He rolled one frame in his early teens before being bowling shamed by his brother, and has never returned to an alley since. We're redressing that childhood wrong right here, right now as we head to Northside Lanes in Winchester, VA for his first full game & our first round of Cosmic Bowling in show history. We discuss the difference between having fun in Iran vs. America and what that reveals about both countries.

The Smithsonian's National Zoo with Caitlyn Fitzgerald, or "Having an Adversary is Very Useful"
05/10/2023
The Smithsonian's National Zoo with Caitlyn Fitzgerald, or "Having an Adversary is Very Useful"
The Smithsonian's National Zoo, located in the heart of Washington DC, is home to more than 2,100 animals, representing almost 400 different species, including some of the planet’s most critically endangered species. Their goal is to "instill a lifelong commitment to conservation through engaging experiences with animals and the people working to save them." But even under these most worthwhile of intentions, the essential conflict of animal attractions remains - is it ever truly ethical to attend the zoo as a consumer? Here to unpack this thorny quandry, and to look at all the cute critters, is theater professional CAITLYN FITZGERALD! We talk about her living with Lupus, the necessity of being your own advocate in the medical system, and how a woman's pain still isn't taken as seriously as a man's. She explains spoon theory as someone living with a chronic condition, and tells her story of losing the ability to drive due for nearly a year due to mysterious blackouts. And of course we have animals galore - from her obsession with Elephants, her recovery from childhood turkey attack trauma, and a Tiger vs. Duck showdown that provided the most stressful Zoo moments we've ever experienced. Plus Collected Possibilities Co-Founder DAVID PRATT celebrates an important birthday and answers the Existential Question of the Week: Where do bad folks go when they die?

And not just any circus, but Cirque Italia's Water Circus - Gold Squad; a hodgepodge fever dream of the 1950s, H2O, action movies, and more. Will Cirque Italia bring us soaring to new heights, or will they drown under the weight of their own ambition? Joining us this week is actor, performer, and painter WILL NEAL KENYON.

"What Is Love?" with Myles Millennium, Steven Fuerte, David Pratt, and More

"What Is Love?" with Myles Millennium, Steven Fuerte, David Pratt, and More
It's another all "Existential Question of the Week" episode, featuring the stars of Voltage Wrestling! It was 1993 when Haddaway unleashed the earworm that would spark a million head bops, both asking and singing "What is love?" and then plaintively and desperately begging for the pain to stop. We're going to leave the uncomfortable implications of the second half to the side, and focus on the query that has played on repeat in our heads almost every day for two decades. Love can be many things - from a chicken being born, to a 4 letter word, to a trap. We have tales of aparment fires and suddenly losing your home and all your belongings. Stories about fathers and sons, and craving a kind of love out of a parent you can never get. We discuss the impossible goal of perfection, and the difference between destination and direction. And one man hopes to protect us mere mortals from the danger of his sheer beauty.

"I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" with Red Dawg, Myles Millennium, Alan Clayball, JB Anderson, and More
It's our first all "Existential Question of the Week" episode, featuring the stars of 1CW Wrestling! It was in 1993 that the man, the myth, the Meat Loaf launched a mystery of modern music that would haunt a generation via his legendary power ballad: "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I won't Do That)" But what? What won't he do? Where is the line drawn? What is the one deed, the one act, the one step too far that not even this love, this operatic melodramatic, sexy piano laden love can justify? We may never know. Except to look inside ourselves and ask that very question - you would do anything for love. But you won't do that. What. Is That? A number brave souls are going to look deep inside the limits of their heart and answer that very question for you today. Strap in. Lets learn something about the human condition. Along the way we have Superman slander, deep cut Gothic Literature rerommendations, advice on how to protect yourself from being slandered, and Myles Millennium tries to give Jason an aneurism.

Catoctin Wildlife Preserve with Danika Myers, or "A Deep Seated Fear of Large Winged Creatures"
This week we're headed to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve in Thurmont, Maryland - and joining Jason is the Senior Referee of the World Domination Wrestling Alliance: DANIKA MYERS! An area trailblazer, Danika talks about what it's like being a female referee, the importance of representation of women in wrestling, and the societally ingrained misogyny that still permeates our industry. We also cover her experience being a woman with both ADHD and autism, the difference between awareness & acceptance of neurodivergence, and how she's setting an example for her son as both a parent and a referee. Get ready to meet an incredibly interesting collection of animals - including one of the rarest leopards in the world, a psychotic goose, a horny peacock, a big sexy iguana, and so much more. You'll also learn some important animal safety tips - like why the smell of cucumbers can sometimes mean danger is lurking just around the corner. And in the Existential Question of the Week, we're at WDWA's Holy Grail Tournament asking wrestlers RANCHHAND CARLSON & ZAKAR SHAH to answer one of pop music's great mysteries - "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

Round1 with "The Don" Chaz Evans, or "What the F*ck is Duffing Season?"
04/05/2023
Round1 with "The Don" Chaz Evans, or "What the F*ck is Duffing Season?"
This week we're spending an afternoon with the absolutely delightful CHAZ EVANS. "The Don" is one third of the wrestling stable Pure Ignorance, 1/2 of the SWA Tag Team Champions, and the current 1CW Cruiserweight Champion. We head to Round1 Bowling and Amusement in Towson, MD - where, spoiler warning - we do not go bowling at all. We do talk about race and representation in Pro Wrestling, balancing being a parent while still maintaining lead character status in your own life, and the importance of both god and the women in Chas' life to leading him on the path he's on today - a quest to be the greatest entertainer in the fucking world. Chaz is a man who has been professionally trained to rip your balls off, does not take an "L" easy, and is looking to lift up the youth of his city to be the best they can be. I think he's going to make a lot of new fans. Plus in the Existential Question of the week we sit down with Actor / Director / Producer LEE LIEBESKIND to ask: "Do You Believe in Magic?" + our very first Collected Possibilities give away!
