Catoctin Wildlife Preserve with Danika Myers, or "A Deep Seated Fear of Large Winged Creatures"

Collected Possibilities

This week we're headed to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve in Thurmont, Maryland - and joining Jason is the Senior Referee of the World Domination Wrestling Alliance: DANIKA MYERS! An area trailblazer, Danika talks about what it's like being a female referee, the importance of representation of women in wrestling, and the societally ingrained misogyny that still permeates our industry. We also cover her experience being a woman with both ADHD and autism, the difference between awareness & acceptance of neurodivergence, and how she's setting an example for her son as both a parent and a referee.

Get ready to meet an incredibly interesting collection of animals - including one of the rarest leopards in the world, a psychotic goose, a horny peacock, a big sexy iguana, and so much more. You'll also learn some important animal safety tips - like why the smell of cucumbers can sometimes mean danger is lurking just around the corner.

And in the Existential Question of the Week, we're at WDWA's Holy Grail Tournament asking wrestlers RANCHHAND CARLSON & ZAKAR SHAH to answer one of pop music's great mysteries - "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

Is Catoctin Wildlife Preserve something you have to do before you die? Listen and find out!
