31 - The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of John Cahill and Derek Billington (feat. Jeff Stormer)

Over the first five episodes of Kris' tenure on The NXT Wrestling Fan, MeganBob whiffed every attempt to predict the next big thing in the story of NXT. For reasons that we assure you are reasons, that has resulted in nearly two hours of Bob and Kris talking about Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew!, an obscure yet beloved funny animal superhero comic published by DC in the early 1980's. Rather than boring you with the origin story of this bonus episode, we'll just tell you that many DC Comjcs tropes are explained, many animal puns are uttered, many low-key quacks are quacked, and the word "sexecutioner" unexpectedly comes up. What are you waiting for? Let this strange episode into your ears so it can punch you directly in the brain!

The episode of NXT that originally aired on January 21st, 2015 didn't intend to teach us a new word, but in our defense, Afrikaans words are simpler to spell on an American keyboard than 'Coup de Grâce' is. Not that we don't love a circumflex around here. Other things we loved and just generally had emotions about include: 

• Day job promo packages
• Is William Regal a Spring
• Excited about brackets
• Deferral of inevitability
• Ulnar Nerve Manipulation
• Murder Chalk
• Treat yourself to a Bargument
• An Ode to Dinosaur Training
• Steak Fight
• The deadly Fucktapus
• Some beautiful hands
• "You too, Princess."
