    HIGH ON MEDIOCRITY or BUSFLIP 2026 (Wrestling Soup 5.1.26)

    Anthony and Joe record from a temporary new space, discussing the transition to a home with an acre of land and the financial sanity of renting versus owning. They explore the "Dead Internet" theory and the prevalence of AI bots, while warning against the dangers of flaunting physical cash on social media. The conversation takes a culinary turn with a breakdown of Gordon Ramsay’s scrambled egg technique and the "exceptional" addition of pesto to breakfast. Turning to wrestling, the guys analyze the latest wave of WWE roster cuts—or "bus flips"—noting reports that these releases are age-related as the company aims for a younger roster. They debate the botched handling of Kairi Sane’s departure, the "slow death" of Santos Escobar on the main roster, and why the Wyatt Six gimmick is "deep for the sake of being deep". The episode wraps up with thoughts on Alexa Bliss retiring her spooky persona, a critique of the "tepid" Laredo crowd, and a satirical pitch for a "Himbo" title to solve the Roman Reigns problem.
