This show was slammed packed full of pure, wrasslin', awesomeness. We were joined by Appalachian Wrestling Star Ric Reeves, and special guest co-host Carter Chitwood, to dive into the world of professional wrestling.

We also dove into some of our favorite wrestlers over the years, our thoughts on the best, and the best personalities.

We also jumped back into the inconsistency of the FDA, health issues that come from processed foods, label requirements that mislead you, deception, took some shots at Simon and British food, the disgusting amount of time shelf food sits, how the price difference to shop local isn't as outrageous as many think, plus much more .

In this show we brought back Thad Montgomery and Chris Montgomery (The Appalachian Farmer ep88) along with Jonah Deborde (Come Home to Christmas Special ep90), and Gayle Montgomery (Thad's Wife/Melvins Farm to Fork Store) to have one hell of an episode that dove into issues we face with our food supply. We discussed how the entities that "control" us, and the supply chain, have put small farmers, and consumers, into a corner. From the FDA to corporate America, crap science, and greedy shareholders, we're seeing major issues in the supply chain, with health, and a plethora of other hurdles that we have to overcome.
