Nonsense vs ILWPod: Wrestling Fans Forced to AGREE… or Drink THIS - Nonsense Podcast S5E3

April 8, 2026·1 hr 41 min·8 clips

Taco Bell once sold a 'Bell Beefers' burger for 20 years, and the hosts can't believe anyone ordered it.

1. NonSense Podcast Season 5 Episode 3 is a crossover episode featuring the full three-person ILW Pod crew competing in a wrestling-fan consensus game. 2. FN Bob hosts alongside permanent co-host Henny Invincible, who receives a new title of 'tangent officer,' while guests are Nasty Nate, Pops (Nate's father), and Dustin from the ILW wrestling podcast. 3. The episode's central thesis is whether five opinionated wrestling fans can reach unanimous agreement on pop-culture and wrestling questions without Bob's deliberate instigating tipping them into chaos. 4. Pre-game conversation establishes that Taco Bell sold a sloppy-joe-style item called the Bell Beefer from the 1970s to the early 1990s, a fact the entire group finds 'diabolical.' 5. A detour into West Virginia food culture covers coal-topped pizza served with cold toppings, the pepperoni roll's origin as a coal-miner lunch staple, and differing KFC coleslaw quality by state. 6. The group debates Star Wars watch order: Pops argues starting with Episode 1 for narrative continuity, while others push Episode 4 first to hook newcomers, and the Darth Jar Jar fan theory comes up as a missed opportunity. 7. A Lego game ranking discussion covers Lego Batman 2 as a standout, Lego Harry Potter as many fans' first entry to the franchise, and Lego Indiana Jones drawing a strong split opinion. 8. Nikita Koloff's gimmick is raised as a contender for best character wrestler on the grounds that he was from Minneapolis but convinced the entire wrestling world, including locker-room colleagues, that he was Russian. 9. Nasty Nate recounts waiting outside a Wintrust Arena Dynamite show to get Jeff Jarrett to sign a WCW world title replica, succeeding by approaching him privately after the crowd cleared. 10. The group discusses the Britt Baker and Mercedes Mone confrontation from that same Wintrust Dynamite, which the crowd met with visible hostility, including the ILW crew leaving to get chicken during it. 11. In the Nonsense Consensus game, 'best gimmick wrestler' reaches the quickest agreement on Undertaker, with only Mick Foley offered as a counterpoint before Taker is confirmed. 12. The fast food round produces the most friction: one panelist doesn't eat cheeseburgers, Burger King is defended on price alone, and the surprise consensus lands on the Checkers/Rally's Big Buford after Culver's and Five Guys are ruled too slow. 13. The Big Buford consensus produces a spontaneous on-air Twitter campaign with hashtag 'Bring Back the Big Beef,' referencing the old Taco Bell Bell Beefer from earlier in the episode. 14. The wrestling theme round generates the longest debate, cycling through Metalingus, Batista's Walk Alone, Jeff Jarrett's With My Baby Tonight, CM Punk's Cult of Personality, Bobby Roode's Glorious, Randy Orton's Voices, and Kurt Angle's Sexy Boy. 15. Bobby Roode's Glorious wins the theme consensus, surprising the group since it was not on anyone's initial mental shortlist, with one host saying 'Glorious was nowhere near the list' before hearing it re-argued. 16. The group argues that Scott Steiner's math promo beats CM Punk's pipe bomb as the greatest wrestling promo, with one panelist citing two-thirds as now permanently associated with Steiner. 17. A side discussion on Ultimate Warrior promos produces the observation that 'nobody understood a damn thing about what he was saying, but you understood what he meant,' applied also to Penta El Zero Miedo's Spanish promo style. 18. The episode's energy is loose, rapid-fire, and dominated by cross-talk, with Bob acting as a deliberate instigator to prevent easy agreement and push the group toward punishment rounds. 19. Wrestling fans who enjoy chaotic multi-host crossovers, pop-culture trivia, and debate formats will find this episode engaging. 20. Listeners looking for structured analysis, match reviews, or current wrestling news coverage will not find it here.
