One day we're going to die, so let's make sure we're living our best life before then.

Take a trip all across America, from the midway to the highway, the arcade to the concession stand, and listen in on some incredible conversations with fascinating guests.

    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!

    New Jersey Renaissance Faire with Brittany Truske, or "The Curse of Growth"

    This week we're adding a new state and a new genre of attractions to the books in one fell swoop, with a trip to the New Jersey Renaissance Festival! BRITTANY TRUSKE returns as we enter a real life Choose Your Adventure book across an Arthurian backdrop; featuring themed performances, vendors, activities, and more! We debate whether to cosplay or not to cosplay, discuss the importance of ambiance and immersion to a successfuk Renn Faire Experience, cuddle with cows, sling bows, throw ninja stars, and drink Mead. Hear about a duck named Winston, the best costumes, and the dearth of interesting faire food. Is the New Jersey Renaissance Faire something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out! 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.

    "What Song Makes You Feel Young?" with Space Lawyer JOHN OZKIRBAS, Pro Wrestler THE UNWILTING TATIANA, Shakespeare Theatre's JANICE JENSON, and More

    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?" Along the way we uncover crushes on Canadian Pop Icons, sing a requiem for the toy store, and go see Blink 182 in the year 2023. FEATURING JOHN OZKIRBAS (Space Lawyer) JANICE JENSON (Associate Director of Production at the Shakespeare Theatre) DAVID PRATT (Entrepeneur, Would Be Super-Villain) ASHLEY HARRIMAN (Systems Admin for the Washington Nationals, Punk Rock Mom) JOCELYN KNAZIK PHELPS (Roller Derbist) THE UNWILTING TATIANA (Pro Wrestler)

    One With Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection with Brittany Truske, or "An Attempt at Self Obliteration"

    BRITTANY TRUSKE returns to the show for a visit to Washington DC and a pilgrimage to spend some time with the Priestess of Polka Dots. We're heading to One With Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection to visit the real Great Pumpkin, enter Infinity Mirror Rooms, and spend some time in a very Phallic Mushroom Kingdom. It's a deep dive into the work of one of the world's most famous artists, but can the exhibit live up to all the instagram hype? We attempt to forget ourselves and become one with oblivion. Along the way we debate what's scarier - death or eternity? Jason shares his experience with sleep deprived hallucinations, we pay tribute to the Polka Dot Prince of Pro Wrestling Dusty Rhodes, find more reasons to never put off trying something new, and do admire a truly stunning pumpkin. Is One With Eternity something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!

  6. "What is the Most Underrated Condiment?" with Big Gold Belt Media's NAGIER CHAMBERS, Theater Director ERIC SWARTZ, Comedian TRAVIS DuFOUR, Wrestler MYLES MILLENNIUM, and More

    "What is the Most Underrated Condiment?" with Big Gold Belt Media's NAGIER CHAMBERS, Theater Director ERIC SWARTZ, Comedian TRAVIS DuFOUR, Wrestler MYLES MILLENNIUM, and More

    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! FEATURING NAGIER CHAMBERS (Executive Producer of Big Gold Belt Media) ERIC SWARTZ (Theater Director) TRAVIS DuFOUR (Comedian, Wrestling Commentator) MYLES MILLENIUM (Pro Wrestler, Goon, Nemesis) JASON ANDREWS (Pro Wrestler, Online Dating Correspondent) DOUG WILDER (Actor, Filmmaker, Executive Producer of Better Together Media Group) LEE LIEBESKIND (Actor, Director, Producer) PAUL REISMAN (Actor, Director, Educator) DAVID PRATT (Lawyer, Entrepeneur, Would Be Super-Villain) COLLECTED POSSIBILITIES E-Mail: collectedpossibilities@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectedpossibilities/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/collectedpossibilities  Episode Recommendations: PLAYERS CLUB w/ NAGIER CHAMBERS - https://collectedpossibilitiespod.libsyn.com/players-club-with-nagier-chambers-or-adulting-is-hard SKY ZONE w/ TRAVIS DuFOUR - https://collectedpossibilitiespod.libsyn.com/sky-zone-with-travis-dufour-or-that-natural-high LAUREL'S HOUSE OF HORROR w/ DAVID PRATT - https://collectedpossibilitiespod.libsyn.com/laurels-house-of-horror-with-david-pratt-or-no-touch-all-go BIG GOLD BELT MEDIA Website: https://biggoldbelt.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BigGoldBelt/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Biggoldbelt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biggoldbelt/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/biggoldbel  THEATER ALLIANCE Website: https://theateralliance.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheaterAllianceDC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theateralliancedc/  TRAVIS DUFOUR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedufourbrand/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedufourbrand YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedufourbrand9131 WORLD DOMINATION WRESTLING ALLIANCE https://www.facebook.com/wdwawrestling MYLES MILLENNIUM Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mylesmaaaaan/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MylesMillennium JASON ANDREWS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejason_andrews Twitter: https://twitter.com/thejason_andrew 1CW PRO WRESTLING Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1CWPRO   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1cwprowrestling291 BETTER TOGETHER MEDIA GROUP Website: https://www.bettertogethermediagroup.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettertogethermediagroup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertogethermediagroup DAVID PRATT  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david.pratt.2020/

    Sky Zone with Travis DuFour, or "That Natural High"

    Let's get ready to fly! Today we travel to Hagerstown, MD to test our bounce endurance at Sky Zone Trampoline Park.  We're joined by a man with far more trampoline experience than expected - comedian, podcaster, retired wrestler, and Jason's commentary partner at the World Domination Wrestling Alliance, TRAVIS DuFOUR! Travis talks about his time backyard wrestling on the trampoline and how it prepared him for this very moment. We get into his transition from Wrestling to Stand Up Comedy, how he has addressed a family history of alcoholism, and how his father's struggles both taught & inspired him. We bond over Disney Deaths as first memories, get caught in the quicksand like Foam Zone, and learn that trampolines are... a lot. Is Sky Zone something you have to do before you die?

    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. He shares the story of his multi-year journey of getting from Iran to US, what it's like coming somewhere you don't think you're wanted, and how Professional Wrestling is his personal American Dream. Plus JACOB CUNNINGHAM answers the Existential Question of the Week: Do you believe in Good & Evil? Is Northside Lanes something you have to do before you die?
