Boss, what's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast

called The Lapsed Fan?

Ugh, it's, what is it about?

And why is that, do you think?

Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others.

Now, what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is, and why it's

kind of deserved.

For over a decade, we've taken fact-finding missions through the thicket of half-truths, that is

wrestling history. We watch old matches, call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much

fun doing it that some people actually can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life?

Think again.

Same powered games, same office politics, same people lying to your face.

Just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances.

All I offer is opportunity, not benefits.

As do we, Vince, the lapsed fan podcast.

Come for the wrestling history. Stay for the uncomfortable truth about why it used to be better and why you still care. Deval! Deval! He's here! Four-finger discount mailbag here for April 2026.

We're going to be covering a lot of Simpsons news and answering all of your questions. I'm Dando. And I'm Guy. Yes, it is the first of April as you record. There's April Fool. Oh, shit. Yeah, I'm going to do my annual April Fool's prank on the Facebook page before we are. Oh, shit. Okay. Well, people are not going to listen to this on April 1st. So I haven't blown it. I am not the fool. Well done me. Every year I do a thing on Facebook and it always links to the planner saying, now who's laughing? Do you think people appreciate it? I think people appreciate being fooled on April Fool's Day in the year of our Lord 2026. It always works for us because we live in the future and everyone in the States is like, actually it per fools it, you guys have fucked it up. And everyone's like, they're on Australian page. We don't care. We run the world. Go by our time, please. But everyone always, it always gets the Americans and those in the UK because we are ahead.

So we've fooled them.

We've fooled them, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Australians, we're just better at it than pretty much everyone. Yeah, yeah. The best way to be in April fuller is to be in the future. Indeed. I'm glad you've got a strategy for it. But yes, welcome to the April mailbag. We have lubed up our hands and dove right into that bag and rummages around and pulled out a few messages.

But also... Welcome to the April mailbag. We have lubed up our hands and dove right into that bag and rummaged around and pulled out a few messages.
