Hello, Lovelies! This Thanksgiving (or, as Brian refers to it, mac & cheese mountain day) we're taking a detour into the fun and chaotic realms of pro wrestling. Brian and his partner, KC, watched a battle royal between a number of Japanese regional mascots known as Yuru-Chara, including the baseball bat-wielding legend Chiitan. And New Japan Pro Wrestling legend Masahiro Chono was there cheering them on. It's such a gratifying 15 minutes of chaos that we had to chat about it. Consider this your pro wrestling topping for your post-meal pie!
