Professional wrestler Steph De Lander joins Steph for a two-Steph summit of broken bodies and public rage. SDL walks through the full saga of her neck: hearing the crunch-crunch-crunch on a northern lights suplex at the WWE training center, years of injections straight into the disc, the rupture on a jumping pull-up the day before a five-day Australian tour, crying through the flight, and the two surgeries that left her with a piece of her own hip bone and brand-new microplastic tech fused into her spine, which healed so fast her surgeon called his colleagues to look at the scans. From there they get into faking 100 logged driving hours to get a license, why announcing "a women's match" just cues up the creeps, Steph's midnight Facebook fight with a fan who refuses to watch her clips, the Austin TSA agent who stuck a hand in her face, waiting five and a half hours to confront the middle-seat texter who called her insane, and Steph inhaling a solid portion of her dead dog Susan's ashes while transferring the urn. Plus: $12 Erewhon oats, the Scotch tape facelift, bullying fans into buying merch, breast reduction recovery horror, and a plan to get Steph Tolev into a WWE ring.
