Hey everyone, it's Anders here to tell you about

0:02

another new Wondery Sports podcast.

0:04

This one is called Over the Top. It's hosted

0:07

by our friends Michelle Beadle and Peter Rosenberg,

0:09

and it's a fun Royal Rumble style

0:11

format that packs all the big stories

0:13

from the world of sports and pop culture that

0:15

week into one weekly podcast

0:17

episode. The way it works is this. Two

0:20

stories enter, one gets tossed over

0:22

the top rope, and Michelle and Peter continue discussing

0:25

the one that remains. Eventually, one story

0:27

from the news is left standing as the undisputed

0:30

most important thing to happen in sports that

0:32

week. We're going to play a clip from Over the Top

0:34

here. If you like it, please go and follow the show

0:36

on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:39

All right, here's a clip from the show.

0:41

Hi

0:41

Peter. Hey Beadle. I've

0:52

been thinking, you and I talk for hours and

0:54

hours and hours a day, right? And

0:57

sometimes it's fun, but then sometimes there are news stories that you just want

0:59

to bash your head into a wall rather than talk about all

1:01

over again, right?

1:02

I literally experience this every

1:04

day of my life. Yeah, but why can't we do

1:06

it differently? What are you saying? I'm

1:09

saying, why don't we treat the news

1:11

like it's the Royal Rumble?

1:12

Two stories

1:15

enter, one gets tossed over

1:17

the

1:18

top.

1:27

From Wondery, I'm Michelle Beadle. And

1:29

I'm Peter Rosenberg. And this is

1:32

Over the Top. Every

1:34

week, we're going to settle all the biggest, wildest,

1:37

and most hyped sports and pop culture debates

1:39

the only way we know how, using

1:41

Royal Rumble

1:42

rules. That means we'll start with two stories,

1:44

toss one out on its ass, and dive into the

1:47

other stories with ruthless aggression. Oh,

1:49

but it never

1:49

stops because every 90 seconds

1:52

after that. By God, whose music is

1:54

that? Another story comes down to the ring. One

1:57

story is going to get the full Beadle-Rosenberg

1:59

unpacking. See ya! Wouldn't

2:02

want to be ya. That's right! Grand

2:04

opening, grand closing until time expires and

2:06

one final story from the news is left standing in the

2:08

middle of a ring with its hand raised high

2:11

as the reigning, defending,

2:14

undisputed, most important

2:16

thing on planet earth that week.

2:17

YEAH! Follow and

2:20

For the record, this is not a wrestling

2:43

podcast. No, no, but it is inspired

2:45

by wrestling. Isn't everything

2:48

inspired by Wrestling Beetle?
