You get exactly one chance at being here & the only thing that matters is that you are kind to the people who love you honestly & know you holistically, and that you make a concerted effort in turn to love yourself as honestly & kindly as humanly possible. RIP PAC, you lived it.

it is important to remember that wrestling is designed to illicit a strong emotional response from you. When done well, it approaches beauty. When done perfectly, it transcends that & enters into something ethereal & beyond words. No wrestler deserves this more.

One of the wrestling podcasts I host could be best described as "a master's level class on professional wrestling" and the other one could be best described as "a trans woman has a series of existential crises as her three cis cohosts watch a giant head lick a boobie."

really weird seeing a Hayley Williams career resurgence that is at least a tiny bit rooted in a subset of queer people finally realizing that she is incredibly sexy.

when Joey Styles said "Gloria Steinem, this one's for you," he was being critical of second-wave feminism's exclusion of black women and other oppressed groups.

I sent Orchid a bunch of Tommy Dreamer matches when really my contributions to the playlist should have been “burying ECW on his first CZW date,” “him going W W F’n E during a match” and “the Philly-based EV2.0 promotion”

An absolutely wild one. As grandiose and winding as Okada/Omega IV. A complete burial of at least one member of The Elite. So long that I have to trim it before uploading to our podcast hosting platform. A seven star masterpiece.

Apparently if you really want to rig the wheel you can give us like $18 and say “Trish Stratus six times,” which is ingenious.

Good news if you’re the sort of person who is too embarrassed to leave a podcast review (I sure as shit would be): you can now add your favorite wrestler’s name to THE WHEEL for a measly $3, meaning we might cover them on an upcoming episode of @patronsaintspod.bsky.social ko-fi.com/s/772dfcd10d

any time you log on twitter (and probably here, too, in all honesty, I just don't use it enough) it feels important to remember that ~50% of American adults have literacy skills well below that of a 6th grader.

Chi Chi vs. Senka was a big too sloppy & inconsistent to make the thread but very encouraging to see two promising young workers work w/ a narrative match structure that neither has much experience with--Senka as the bully, Chi Chi caught cold & on her back foot

Officially the most listened to episode of Patron Saints yet, after just three days. Thank you for listening — I legit had no idea whether or not this kind of thing would work when I pitched it to @ascaredwhale.bsky.social and the fact that it does kinda blows my mind.

it only took 3 days for 'Kenny Omega: Part 1' to become our most-streamed episode. Endless thank-yous to everyone; I still cannot get over how quickly this silly project has taken off. If you haven't listened yet, check it out. If you listened and liked it, tell your friends. tr.ee/94xgjTmv6W

This is my favorite podcast episode of 2026! This feels like a definitive appraisal and there's no two people I want to hear about Omega from more than @ascaredwhale.bsky.social & @colettearrand.bsky.social. The comprehensive level of game film consumed for these episodes is insane.
