James serious question, everything good with you and your family/close ones post Helene? I know you personally dont live near Asheville but it’s been heartbreaking seeing photos and videos from homies I know
Yeah, the first thing I saw that made me notice how bad it was is posts I saw about LGR and his house being destroyed and potentially most of his computer collection, thankfully Clint himself is fine in terms of physically but must suck, I know that unfortunately there are from what I've seen quite a few not so lucky. Hoping replaceable and rebuildable stuff can be done for those that need it ASAP, this kinda stuff stinks to see.

James, I've lost track of who is in Based World. Can we get an updated roster?
I remember early days of DPW you talked about doing a review of your initial card and ideas that you had all written down. Was that ever done? If not would it be something you can cover on a show or a patreon feed thing?
Howdy! What's the deal with the random pictures on DPW's instagram stories?
I don’t have a question, I just wanted to say that I just subscribed on here and I love it. It’s so much fun watching all the matches and PPVs on here, the bad matches and bad PPVs are hilarious to watch. I also just got a membership to DPW and I love the shows and matches you guys put on, so keep up the great work and I wish you all many more years of success✌🏻

What are your thoughts on Austin saying he doesn’t believe in CTE?
What’s the worst encounter you’ve ever had with a wrestler?
I saw Chris Danger at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
For all the boys, which wrestler is your guilty pleasure?
More a request, but can we get a SGH of a DPW show so we can hear how hard it is to get mats and tables 20 more times? (and also I’m genuinely pumped to hear how the magic happens).
Do you guys like the idea of the Motor City Machine Guns being in WWE? Who do you think they should face off with first?
If you could ensure that Killer Klowns (or any other game like it) would always keep a solid player base with good queue times, but it would never get any more content from that point on, would you take the deal?
If you have been to indie shows as a kid or teenager, is there a crazy or memorable moment that you will never forget?
I recently saw a tweet saying "DPW is like if WCPW was run correctly" one of the comments said something along the lines of "DPW is the only company that could successfully run a World Cup tournament like WCPW did if they had the opportunity to" would that ever be something that you guys would ever consider doing if you had the time and alloted talents
If north Carolina exploded off the map, what other territory would you guys be interested in running in?
If you were to do a live podcast episode, what show/event (done before or new) would you like to review?
Hey boys, any big plans for kiss your homie day this year? I’m trying to give all my homies big wet fat ones!
Do you wish to make your own jobber-type wrestler with a ridiculous gimmick but you are afraid of the backlash you guys will receive?
