00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:07.000
It's the Lapsed Fan Wrestling podcast with
Jack and carn s e O and JP

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:14.400
Sorrow He's a lapsed fan in all
my years and wrist plan you never seen

3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:23.519
anything. And it's the laps fan
man if I the one in the ring,

4
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.199
forget about Osada, be the real
king of swing with the bell goes

5
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.320
egg and the kick like me soon
in the corner with its lash like stack.

6
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.439
Even Jerry King can take off the
crowd nodded in his head like his

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.560
lee. Low Brown would just get
low down the goat even high up flipp

8
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.159
you on your head, but you
know couldrivel spit Monu and Dragon spits fire

9
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.679
if you more shot than in age
retire dropping more truth than the con of

10
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.920
sniper. Bless you with a coconut, Roddy Piper checking JP he like Jay

11
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.119
d drop the cupcakes and gold and
the brain. Bob means the best podcast

12
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.079
Frost start to close, flop you
all benefit. It's a classic a pose.

13
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:10.799
It was WrestleMania XL, but it
was also TLF XL. Was it

14
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.560
not almost to TLF Triple XL in
many ways? And we thought what better

15
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.040
way to come off the high of
TLF taking the stage and ripping Philadelphia a

16
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.920
new asshole on WrestleMania forty weekend,
than to open up the mail bag to

17
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.760
kick back and chill with our favorite
people, boss, the members of the

18
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.519
Lapsed Fan Solar SS. I think
that's very appropriate. I mean, they

19
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:38.000
are nearer and dearer to our hearts
than ever before after Philly, totally,

20
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.519
no question. I mean, just
postgame thoughts if you could. I mean,

21
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.760
number one, it's a it's a
wild ride just to see as many

22
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:56.040
people show up as did for the
live show, but then to have everybody

23
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:05.120
else like show up for all these
other things and and to uh, you

24
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.840
know, just to see people at
WrestleMania who weren't at the show. You

25
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.840
know, that's the wild thing.
To see people at at at at at

26
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.759
con Con who weren't at the show. That's where it gets really trippy.

27
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.840
If you ask con by the way, that's a good one that it is.

28
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.639
They they came for the wrestling,
they stayed for the reality. Damn

29
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.800
fucking straight, they did. And
we said what had to be said.

30
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:36.520
Yes, and those in the room
know exactly what we're talking about. It's

31
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.039
been a long time since we've heard
unalloyed lapsed, Vince, and for good

32
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.439
reason. Yes, I think now
people realize why, and I think people

33
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.400
realize as well that when the co
chairmen take the stage for a live experience,

34
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.759
it's it's gonna feel like the old
days where all you have are your

35
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.800
memories. Yes, you know,
you can't you can't count on being able

36
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.159
to pull up exactly you know what
was said, but you can count on

37
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.840
remembering what it felt like to experience
it, which is all we have when

38
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.840
we go on the fucking ground anyway, That's damn right. And it was

39
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.039
just it was wild. It was
an absolutely wild time. It was.

40
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.199
It was full of twists and turns. It was so much more like demanding.

41
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.120
There was a point in time we're
just walking Philly, no clue where

42
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.199
we're going. I have ecw A
Rena directions on my phone, but they're

43
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.919
driving directions and I think it's ten
minutes away, and then you point out,

44
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.120
hey, those are not the walking
directions, it's actually an hour away.

45
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.759
Why is the thing moving so slowly? Why has it been Why has

46
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.159
it been nine minutes for like fifteen
minutes, been nine minutes away for a

47
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.960
half hour. Yeah, that's right. Just from those lows to the absolute

48
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:52.120
highs of people just exploding at the
the notion that we're spitting the truth.

49
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.599
We were spitting that's part of wrestling
any weekend, just tip hat tipped everybody.

50
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.680
Absolutely, it was. It was
a tremendous experience. I would like

51
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:08.520
to note too that I still have
a somewhat swollen uvula. Oh do you

52
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.400
really that that that is gone down? Nope? Nope. Uh, but

53
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.319
my dad did talk to doctor Tom
Fazzio. Oh Jesus, now we're talking

54
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.079
about real advice, right, all
right, we're talking big time here,

55
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.680
and he, you know, he
said that it could take several days before

56
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.560
it goes down fully. Wow.
But yeah, all week, all week.

57
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.240
I had it all week. It
was like it was ridiculous. It

58
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.319
was absolutely ridiculous, Like what the
fuck? The absolutely I thought you could

59
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.319
never have to experience the feeling of
waking up on show morning on a live

60
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:44.000
spoken word stage show and you know, not being able to talk. Yeah,

61
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.639
is that a first for you?
I mean, have you ever had

62
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.040
that on a stage show or No, never had it on on on the

63
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.519
day of a show. Literally,
its only happened one Thanksgiving is when it

64
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.160
happened where I couldn't you know,
I couldn't speak, and I just I

65
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.319
didn't even know what it was the
time. I just was like, there's

66
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.040
this fucking thing my throat that is
preventing me from speaking. I'm choking on

67
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.519
it at times, and you know, I was horrified that first time I

68
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.439
had it. But now now I
get it. Now it happens. Now

69
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:14.000
it's real, So now it's a
risk fact, yes exactly. A hearty

70
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.959
shout out to Punchline Philly, to
Rake Amster, all of our stand up

71
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.759
comic friends. Thanks to Postal for
his surprise appearance wrapping the t theme song

72
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:27.079
live on stage. Could have been
a better sport about it. Unbelievable stuff.

73
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.519
And shout out to Garage Beer for
lacing all attendees with the first round

74
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.639
on the house. Love it,
It's feeling good, It's feeling TLF.

75
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:41.480
That's appropriate. Oh yeah, and
long may it continue. We've only just

76
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.120
begun here, of course, in
our ten year celebrations, and then much

77
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.720
more to come from the wonderful members
of the Solar System who are working in

78
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.199
all manner of initiatives to make it
real and make you feel it. And

79
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.839
of course the mailbox remains wide open
for your TLFX testimonials, which we've been

80
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.040
posting as they've been coming in and
as the quality screener determines. Yep.

81
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.240
So you know, grab your audio
recorder, grab your phone and record an

82
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.800
audio messages you've been hearing drop regularly
on the feed and tell us why it

83
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.920
is. If you were to explain
to a stranger that tlf has been around

84
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.319
for ten years and what it means
to you and why it's the cast that

85
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.079
just you know, you just can't
shake and look, we cast. We

86
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.160
don't know anything else. Yep.
That's what we offer to you. It's

87
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.959
either enough or it isn't. Yep. But we do very much appreciate folks

88
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.680
letting us know where we fit into
their routines, where we fit into their

89
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:35.040
lives, and how it can be
better. It's a remarkable thing to see

90
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:41.319
it made manifest with so many friendly
faces and you know, spouses and significant

91
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.680
others and sisters. You know,
that's a wild thing too. To come

92
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.879
out of doing a show like that
and to have the support of women in

93
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:54.439
the crowd was quite a feeling.
Yes we I mean they could be forgiven

94
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.439
and for right rolling their eyes.
I'm sure many dip, but they dipped

95
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.160
before we did the sort of show
meet and greet. I would imagine there

96
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.120
weren't as many, just one one. I think, just one guy.

97
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:12.800
Well, I mean there's there's our
our regular couple, but then there's the

98
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.959
there was a one. I'm sorry, I can't forget it. I can't

99
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.680
remember his name, but the guy
with the sister who was there, who,

100
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.319
yeah, you know she was.
That was a riot. That's wonderful

101
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.519
stuff. Yeah, so many,
so many faces and big shout outs to

102
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.879
uh to Dicky from Australia who came
away with the Terry Funk branding iron Wow,

103
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.240
which we were proud to give away. And I know he was jumping

104
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.519
in the bit to get his hands
on. Just it's it's all good,

105
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:36.800
it's all it's all positivity, it's
all right. And you know what,

106
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.959
and you know what, Brandon from
New Jersey showed up. Oh my goodness,

107
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.759
he was there. The legend he
was there. He was there.

108
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.199
It didn't you know. He he
nutted up. I saw him. We

109
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.040
shook hands, he tapped up.
Yeah, he was in the fray.

110
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.600
He was not like, you know, hanging on the periphery trying to get

111
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.240
noticed. No, but I was, I was. I had my doubts

112
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:05.560
because I'd heard the day before that
he dipped out of doing something else for

113
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.319
a so called wedding. So I
was like, well, you know,

114
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.240
maybe I'm not I'm not buying it
yet in person, in person in Philly.

115
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.279
So that's big thanks to the aforementioned
Dicky as well. Yes, indeed,

116
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.319
so that's that's huge props there.
Yeah, I mean you got to

117
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.720
think about it, pass. I
mean, as long as the legend of

118
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.120
Brandon from New Jersey has been built
up in your head, you got to

119
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.319
realize. I mean, I've been
talking to the guy you know, even

120
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.000
years longer that right exactly, and
never met him before. I never met

121
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.480
him before, No, not in
person, no, wow. So a

122
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.320
lot of special moments like that.
So thanks to everybody who made it possible

123
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.679
and who made it worth it.
We're here to crack up in the mail

124
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.559
bag, of course, and it's
as good a time as any as I

125
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.000
think a lot of the missives will
be sharing with you this week. Attests

126
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.519
to to go over to patreon dot
com slash the lapsed fan, to put

127
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.639
your pride to the side and to
realize that you know the only reason to

128
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.759
wake up in the morning is to
do something that people find enough value and

129
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.440
that they'll pay for it. Absolutely, and you got to keep working til

130
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.159
you find that thing. We found
it. Yep, not a problem.

131
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.639
Not a problem. No, no, not at all. And there's so

132
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.039
much in it for you. And
if you join now and join the executive

133
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.159
producer and above here, it's a
very very special time, is it not

134
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:20.360
under it's a very special time.
We are currently on our our Carneies are

135
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:30.080
Forever journey with our James Bond deep
dive into the franchise into uh you know

136
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.759
how it's impacted. Why is it
still around, you know to this day

137
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.240
where we're you know, we're we
we we may I believe we. I

138
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.759
don't know if it's been officially announced, but we may have a new James

139
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.200
Bond, uh, you know,
taking over the reins and stuff. So

140
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:56.080
it's really it's a it's an amazing
franchise that probably the the longest, the

141
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:03.720
longest continuous franchise, yes, I
would say, in the in the history

142
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:11.440
of the film business. And uh, it's loaded loaded with carnies. Oh

143
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.679
my goodness, what a fucking unbelieving
exploration of the legacy of Peter my Va

144
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.840
on Hall of Fame Weekend where my
Va was inducted. No less, Rock

145
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.240
and his family were so celebrated.
We you know, the serendipity came through

146
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.679
and we did like the definitive dive
I to Go. We did like a

147
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.320
Peter my Va Straight to Your Left
tribute show on the main feed. We

148
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.200
sound pretty much like that episode of
the Bond series. I would, I

149
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.200
would hope. So that's my goal. That's my goal. Especially when you

150
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.200
have guys that only have one or
two major appearances. It's like, you

151
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.600
know, we don't. We don't
have much time with these guys in theme.

152
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.960
Otball tremendous to look at his wrestling
job whatever you want, Oh he

153
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.879
is an oddball. After all,
he was a wrestler. So, oh

154
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.240
my god, you can tell how
much I'm retaining here. I know a

155
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.840
little little bits and pieces. It's
a lot of information. You know,

156
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.200
we we trace. I'm going to
call odd job. It's pretty bad that

157
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.159
It's not a good sign. Hey, the last Saffery either trying to put

158
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.919
together at Chushio Needa versus Dory Funk
Junior at Kawaisashi Stadium on Twitter. I

159
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.799
mean, come on is that hashtag
lapsed funk? I let the guy fucking

160
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:28.759
rest Dory is getting blown up.
Well, I figure it might as well

161
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.200
give it one more go. You
know, Terry used to do it all

162
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.639
the time. I might as well, And I figured it made Terry immortal.

163
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.360
I don't want to die. I
made it, made Terry immortal.

164
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.039
I don't want to I don't think
that's not what we meant. I don't

165
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.559
think I want to die. I
haven't checked lately if that's what I want

166
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.200
to do or if that's what I
should do. I do know that that

167
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:56.519
I am a fan of professional wrestling, and I like to see fans go

168
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:05.879
round and round, found and wrap. I'll just say this. I'm on

169
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.919
the sentiments Laptovin shared on stage in
Philly. I didn't know that anyone was

170
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.919
suffering as a result of my behavior, But if presented with evidence that I

171
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.440
did know, I am very willing
to change my mind about what I knew.

172
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.919
What a world we're in now with
you know, the Triple H regime

173
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.360
and the Triple H era and Cody
winning and you know, you know something

174
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.279
I didn't even know until we know
because we were we were you know,

175
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.600
you had your ticket problems on day
two. I didn't even realize that Stephanie

176
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.480
came out for that for an intro. I really didn't either. I actually

177
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.600
went back and watched the show on
the cock get a sense because a lot

178
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.120
of people were saying that our live
call was like, especially on that night

179
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.519
one main event, tag match with
The Rock, was kind of off based

180
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.519
on the energy we were feel in
our section versus how it came across the

181
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.159
television. Having watched it, I
agree, I get it. The crowd

182
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.039
brawling is not as much of a
oh it's hard, Well, it's hard.

183
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.159
You know, you can't how do
you? I mean, I remember,

184
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:15.960
I remember, you know the WrestleMania
in in in New Jersey that the

185
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.559
last one went to where it was
like everybody was there were two things,

186
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.159
two matches that brawled in the crowd
though, and it was like, it's

187
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.039
hard to really enjoy that when you
can't see close up. I mean,

188
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.799
I would say, you know,
those matches are definitely TV oriented, and

189
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.919
you're so looking forward to seeing the
Rock and what he has showcased in center

190
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.200
rain right right, and then when
he ducks like that, ducks out of

191
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.039
out of view, it's kind of
like, okay, like this is you

192
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.000
know, this is them trying to
elongate the match because he doesn't have much

193
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.000
more to produce in the ring.
He went on to do and well,

194
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.159
we'll get to a lot of the
feedback that arrived approximate to WrestleMania. We're

195
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.960
going much further back than that,
of course, because the last time we

196
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.320
hit you with the mailback episode has
been quite a while. Not quite a

197
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.679
while, but a season has passed, so yeah, we've still got stuff

198
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.639
lapsed funk relevant to go through.
But suffice to say, coming off the

199
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.559
thing, it's like and watching it
on television as well, that was that

200
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.279
was a tremendous piece of business,
the way they put together that Cody Roman

201
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.799
main event with all the run ins
and everything. Yes, but I can't

202
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.480
help but feel a little bit of
sympathy towards the point of view that like,

203
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.639
really, you couldn't have just done
Cody versus Roman, Like what was

204
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.039
all that about? And it was
epic, It was awesome. The crowd

205
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.360
went nuts, and people are never
going to forget those run ins from seeing

206
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.320
a rock Undertaker, et cetera seth
rollins. That that one's a little more

207
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.879
forgettable. But yeah, you know, these are all triggers worth pulling.

208
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.960
And I guess they had Austin and
Q and then it, you know,

209
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.200
they couldn't put the deal together,
so it was Undertaker instead. I mean

210
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.600
it is you know, I get
it. I don't mind. I mean

211
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.559
I think it could have been done
better. I think had been done a

212
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.480
little more. Uh, I don't
know. It was to me it felt

213
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:07.639
very segmented, yes, where it
could have felt more like the calvarys Ave.

214
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.919
Yeah, you know that would have
been they could have it could have

215
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:18.759
been you know, I never I'll
tell you what when when when? Uh

216
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.720
was it Solo who came out?
No, No, it was who came

217
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.480
out first, Jimmy j So.
So when Jimmy Usso came out that I

218
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.240
didn't feel like Roman was at a
point where he needed to be saved,

219
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.919
you know, And that to me
was kind of it like I I didn't

220
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:35.919
I was like, okay, oh, I guess it's going to happen now.

221
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.240
But I wasn't there yet where I
was like, to me, as

222
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.159
a fan, I should have I
would have hoped that they would have gotten

223
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:52.600
to the point in a match where
I would have forgotten that to expect Runnings

224
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.440
by the Bloodline, where I'm so
involved in the match that I am like

225
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.720
I would have I should have been
at a moment where I really thought Cody

226
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.279
was gonna win it on his own, you know, like I should have

227
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:11.799
been at that moment, but it
never happened. And that happened when Solo

228
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.879
came in and helped with the super
Spear. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well

229
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.600
in the opposite way, I felt
that way, right because Cody was in

230
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.919
trouble, right, but I never
felt like Roman was like like oh shit,

231
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.639
like we could have had it right
there. You know. They clearly

232
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.320
structured it for the pop of each
entrance song, and that's you know,

233
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.240
which I'm not pharo criticizing it,
but I am sort of thinking, like,

234
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.559
wow, like they really couldn't have
just had Cody beat Roman in a

235
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.279
clean match. They really had to
do all this because it's eventually people caught

236
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:42.519
on to this is where they were
going with the Bloodline rules. And then

237
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.960
once once fan expectations get there and
you lead people to expect this kind of

238
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.840
thing, you do kind of have
to deliber it. You don't have to,

239
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.279
but I think that's what's going to
be different in the Triple A regime

240
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:55.519
versus the Vince regime is if the
fans kind of you know, start to

241
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.519
detect something and start to demand it
and start to count on it psychologically,

242
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.919
He's going to give it to him. Yeah, even if even if it

243
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.799
isn't necessarily in keeping with where he
sees things going long term. And I

244
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.200
think that, you know, that
could have some drawbacks. We'll see,

245
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.240
but for the most part, you
know, if you've got people going nuts

246
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.039
and a sold out building, it's
you can't argue with that. No,

247
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.039
I'm sort of like, well,
then what is ever going to be enough

248
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.440
if the way they build up Cody
Robin isn't enough to just have it clean

249
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.359
one on one like everything's so it's
like they kind of have to though.

250
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.319
It's like, remember it's a rematch. It's not even the first time they

251
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.680
ever they ever wrestled, So it's
like we had that pretty much until the

252
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.200
end when Solo came in and and
and waffled Cody last year. So it's

253
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.160
like, I don't know, I
I'm I'm fine with it. I I

254
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:47.759
will say this, I think the
one thing that really that really uh kind

255
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.359
of I thought about afterwards. Is
I forget who wrote about it. I

256
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.200
think it was on on On on
Patreon, who says, someone said,

257
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:57.680
you're gonna tell me that these guys
are just kind of waiting back there for

258
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.960
this to all kind of go down. That's what I mean. Yeah,

259
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.799
they structured that. That would have
been It would have been more interesting.

260
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.240
I think it would have been.
I mean, granted kind of gives it

261
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.920
away, but it would have been
nice to maybe know that these guys were

262
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.599
in town at least, like maybe
Sena made an appearance. You didn't have

263
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.720
to be at WrestleMania per se,
but we could have known that he was

264
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.240
there. I don't take us a
little bit different because he's undertaker, and

265
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:22.519
you know he's supposed to be.
I don't get if you knew they were

266
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.839
there, what does that solve?
Well, if I knew that John Cena

267
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.480
was there, if I saw that
John Cena was there WrestleMania weekend, I

268
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.640
would know that he's there and that
he's probably in the back watching and wondering

269
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.920
what's going on. It's too much
for you, is the thought that he

270
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.720
would fly out secretly just in case
he was needed, right exactly, Yeah,

271
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.759
interesting, exactly I kind of you
know, they were saying this,

272
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:45.920
and they didn't drive it home as
hard as I would have expected. But

273
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.920
the message of the Seth you know, a Cody alliance was that we need

274
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.920
to save WWE from the iron grip
of the Bloodline and like it's in it's

275
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.519
in way more than just our personal
interests to see to it that the bloodline

276
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:02.039
doesn't just totally run this company and
call all the shots. And so the

277
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.480
idea was that I think that veterans
of the past would also see the wisdom

278
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.720
in that and think, you know, we can't have a situation where Roman

279
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.240
just consolidates so much power that he
never gets knocked off the throne and no

280
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:15.000
one ever you know what I mean. But they didn't really tell that story.

281
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.119
It was just right just ended up
being pops for the entrance, because

282
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:19.880
that could have been the thing too. I mean, maybe you don't even

283
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.240
show them that they're there. Maybe
you just like you could have had you

284
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.640
know, how come you they didn't
go and get you know, legends like

285
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:34.119
Sena Undertaker or whomever doing promos like
even just like doing doing like Yeah,

286
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.079
that's that was what I was saying. They they opted for the version of

287
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:44.119
this where the entrance gets the massive
pop instead of the version where they still

288
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:45.000
could have gone the massive pop it. You know, if you had,

289
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.519
if you had enough legends the surprise
just said the surprise, it would have

290
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:53.440
been a massive pop. I mean
the surprise like they This regime is clearly

291
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.319
marks for entrance music playing when no
one expects to be there. But you

292
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:03.440
still could have done that if you
over over the weeks leading up to WrestleMania,

293
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.839
like every week you had two or
three legends, like cutting a video

294
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.000
from home, like saying you know
what I I you know, I got

295
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.880
to agree like Cody that you know
this, or even disagreeing too, like

296
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.359
you could have guys disagreeing and how
co who that had been of? Like

297
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.880
you know, mckpholis says, well, you know, I'm kind of down

298
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:26.240
with the the uh, the bloodline. They're fine by me. You know,

299
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.359
interesting, interesting have offun seek a
fucking do something. You've seen Sammy

300
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:32.400
out there too, I mean he
came out for the Cody celebration, but

301
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:36.079
he had more story than anybody in
terms of breaking the Bloodlin's iron grip,

302
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:37.720
right exactly like that could have been. That would have been a great thing

303
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:44.200
too to kind of see him come
out so interesting. Interesting, interesting that

304
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.599
one of the last things we saw
was really the last grand entrance of WrestleMania

305
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.440
forty, was Triple H walking down
the Red. Of course, I I

306
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.000
don't know if I'm ready for this. I don't think I realized the uh,

307
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.680
the implications of him having the book
in terms of, like, we

308
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.319
always have to see him as a
creator. Oh yeah, he's always judging

309
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.039
his way into the frame. It's
getting it's gonna get old real quick.

310
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:11.200
Instead of erased to care about the
guys winning and losing matches, not the

311
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:17.720
director, Like, nope, you
care about the booker, the the writer,

312
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.680
the chief creative content explorer as far
as I know, and I didn't

313
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.960
pay very close attention. Remember they
promoted that documentary during the show about how

314
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:32.720
they put this whole thing together and
how they pivoted hasn't aired yet. Something

315
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:34.759
in that, something in there.
The Rock doesn't like about the narrative.

316
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:40.960
We wo who wha whoa whoa whoa
whoa WOA turn us down right, you

317
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.880
know what I mean? Oh god, I love it. They let the

318
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:48.000
narrative battles begin to Yeah, really
really, Dwayne and Paul is. It

319
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:49.640
is a new era, but it's
the Dwayne era. Let's not forget that.

320
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.400
Okay, well, yeah, it's
the Paul like running doing most of

321
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:57.680
the busy work until Dwayne decides like, actually, actually I'm gonna take credit

322
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.960
for this one. This Wayne's Vince
McMahon totally. He could just dig put

323
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.720
in and just totally reshape all the
creative based on what would make him feel

324
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.079
like he's achieved something that's never been
done before. That's that's that's the way

325
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.640
to talk to Rock Ust to have
the thing, talk to Evince. That's

326
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:17.559
how you talked to Rock like this
is here's here's the case. Here are

327
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.759
the four PowerPoint slides of how what
you're about to do is never been done

328
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.839
better or bigger, And that's that's
the thing, and we'll never be done

329
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.640
again. Yeah of course, right, let's shut that down too. Well,

330
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.200
a fascinating weekend and thanks to social
Semian. Thanks. I need to

331
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.240
give a big shout out to Dave
and Todd Martin too for massive oh fuck

332
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.119
yes, logistical assistance. I mean
to get out of that fucking place after

333
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.720
those shows. Without them, I
don't know how we would have done it.

334
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.759
We would still be walking down out
free or I'd still be at least

335
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.400
passed out someplace. Yeah, you
have the chance to take a down like

336
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.599
I was. So you know,
after every night, I'm like I was

337
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.680
done. I was so fucking done, And I was like, you know,

338
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.440
I always feel like I'm being I
was. They're very very gracious because

339
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.079
I feel like it's rude to just
kind of fall asleep, but I couldn't

340
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.559
help it. I was just so
done. Well, it's better than fall

341
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:08.240
asleep during the show, which we
saw for the New Japan one. Yeah,

342
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:11.079
they got to chuckle out of that
story about it. Did you tell

343
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.119
them? Man, that's really funny. Think, Oh my god, that's

344
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.400
hilarious. Ask you a question,
boss, Yes, was it cold enough

345
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.319
in those seats? I mean Financial
Field. That's the only reason why didnt

346
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:29.279
fall asleep because I couldn't. I
was it was freezing like it's inappropriate,

347
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:32.359
honestly, and it should be borderline
April, it really was. I mean,

348
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.160
just to have just what the fuck
is going on in Philadelphia where the

349
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:38.680
wind is that cold? Well,
your your sky high in and open your

350
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.920
air stadium too. I don't remember
being that cold in fucking New Jersey.

351
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.119
My god, I wore short New
Jersey. That was a beautiful week that

352
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:55.680
show. Yeah, but still like
I guess yeah. Last year was our

353
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.440
firstwo night Wrestlelingia went it, but
because the two nighter hurts a little more

354
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.640
in terms of the like, oh
god, and I didn't want even want

355
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:04.839
to go. I was like that
second night fucking wake me up. I

356
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:11.160
was out fucking Benadryl knocking me out, so I can fucking speak Jesus Christ.

357
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.880
That's this is legendary. It was
all legendary, but we fucking can't

358
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.920
win. We move forward, and
we turn the aperture, We turn the

359
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.680
spotlight where belongs on the solar system. Because as big as fans as you

360
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.559
are of us, we're bigger fans
of you, and that is that continues

361
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.319
to be. We love all of
our children, yes, okay, and

362
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.160
that continues to be reinforced every single
time. So we dip into the mailbag

363
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.160
and we look to uh Ronaldi,
who writes, I've learned this is back

364
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.440
in the lapsed Funk days that Dory
Funk Junior son is a doctor that goes

365
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:47.799
by Dink Funk the third Doctor Dink
Funk, I am doctor Dink Funk.

366
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:51.559
The third I do. I appreciate
that statement. I do go by doctor

367
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.119
Dink. Sometimes I go by doctor
Funk some guy. Sometimes I go by

368
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:59.720
doctor Dunk. Sometimes I go by
doctor Fink. It doesn't really matter which

369
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.599
way goes. I'm really not a
doctor legally speaking, and I do find

370
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:10.880
my practice is to be very dangerous
in terms of medical conditioning. I believe

371
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.799
he said, and I'm correct me
if I'm wrong in me simply saying his

372
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.720
son's name is Dan Funk. I
believe he says in response, I appreciate

373
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.759
that statement, the statement being at
he has son and doctor dan Funk.

374
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:27.039
The fact I appreciate that statement.
I didn't say good, I didn't say

375
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.119
you're wonderful. It is said nothing
that we could be appreciated. I stated

376
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.119
a fact. And speaking of stating
facts, by the way, before we

377
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.279
get too far off Patreon, we
were fucking rocking on behalf of paying customers

378
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.039
on. Yeah, I'm really proud
of the ship we pulled off on the

379
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.240
ground out there. You know,
when when we get on the ground together

380
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.599
like that, we just can't help. But doing a bit of an audio

381
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:53.839
diary for the patrons, and and
oftentimes uploading, weird uploading, weird ass

382
00:25:53.920 --> 00:26:00.000
ship in weird going to damn straight
paying admission to get into an old lady

383
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:06.599
Stamp convention so we can walk around
and try to observe the architecture. And

384
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.160
the woman looking at you, you
guys know this is a stamp collection reference,

385
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.160
right, and she's like, you
know that, we don't. You

386
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.960
know, it's not you know,
it's it's stamps. It's not fun.

387
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.759
And I gave some off. I'm
still like crams when I think about it.

388
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.039
Some awful mealy mouthful. Actually,
I don't know if you guys know,

389
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:25.119
but wrestleman, he's in town.
They shoot TV in this building and

390
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:30.160
so you know, and she's looking
at me like, okay, oh this

391
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.839
is stamps, right, they call
the security. Do they shoot? Did

392
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.640
they shoot stamps in the building as
well? Guess what we're doing. I

393
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.319
mean they take television in there for
like, you know, fifteen years,

394
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.880
and there's nothing. They have a
whole like mural on the front entrance to

395
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:48.279
ag Hal of all the stuff that
you know from the agricultural Fair over the

396
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.079
years, a huge montage photos and
clippings. Nothing about that. I don't

397
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.960
know. They want to forget about
it. They want to not acknowledge that

398
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.240
it exists. Well, we're able
to go to a restaurant that all the

399
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.720
wrestlers used to go to after doing
the tapings called Ringers Roots, and interviewed

400
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.319
the proprietor there, Amaron don And
you got to check that out on Patreon.

401
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.359
That was a trip to be a
wild that room of his restaurant where

402
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:17.079
he's got all the autographed Carney pictures
up and some real cool keepsakes, and

403
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.960
just the he's one of those guys, you know, he'll just like you

404
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:23.640
talk to him for twenty minutes and
he'll name thirty five people that he's met,

405
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.359
you know, and that's he just
goes and goes and goes and goes.

406
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.799
Oh yeah, one time, Arnold
Scolland was in here, yep,

407
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.039
yep here, So I had nothing
to do with him, but he was

408
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.359
in here, I hear. And
then he introduces us to Jerry Sagg's mom

409
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.799
and sister. What the fuck is
going on? What is this? What

410
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.240
is this lie life? Oh Jesus
Christ. And of course we brought cash

411
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.839
for Carnei's to the table. Don't
ever say we don't put your Patreon dollar

412
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.359
back into the show. Uh,
you greased our palms so we could grease

413
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.440
theirs and get time with the likes
of Ahmed Johnson and Earl Hebner, who

414
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:59.880
I got to ask the burning Montreal
question to from Jeohn Michael's book, longtime

415
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.400
fan will know what I'm talking about. We talked to Robert Gibson from The

416
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:11.640
Rock and Roller, Robert Gibson insisting
that the the if the Crockett name is

417
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.400
would be legendary at Greensboro, call
Sam, which we know it is not

418
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:22.519
right, Yes, that was you
know, helpfuls realize you know, because

419
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.759
because we have this shared vocabulary over
ten years on this show, and because

420
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:32.480
we have these things that only lapsed
fan listeners would these things come to mind

421
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.240
when you say a wrestler's name because
of our history. Right, We've done

422
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.559
jokes, we've done bits, we've
done things. You've gone as you're referenced

423
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.559
into the Greensboro Coliseum and asked if
anybody knows who Jim Crockett is, and

424
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.400
no one knows who the fuck he
is in the building, that any wrestling

425
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.839
fan of that area would tell you
he's like his name echoes like some sort

426
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.960
of giant legend no one knew who
the fuck he was. And for us

427
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.680
to get five minutes with Robert Gibson
which turned into fifteen once it got started.

428
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:00.680
Of course, of course, always
the way, only for us,

429
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.640
uniquely for us, Is it worth
it to have that little bit of time

430
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:10.240
because we can set up stuff from
the show. Yes, we can ask

431
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.599
Kevin Sullivan about shoveling snow and it's
already worth it. Yes, exactly.

432
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.359
We can ask on Met Johnson about
whether he takes it personally that the Rock

433
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.839
called himself the People's champion, or
what he actually said when he would get

434
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:26.839
intense the toy Fu's toy and get
confirmation what he was saying. For anybody

435
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.920
else, five minutes of these guys
at a Restaican is not worth it for

436
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.519
us, It's worth twenty times.
And that he's eating a fucking Jimmy Dean,

437
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.839
you know, a sausage, egg
and cheese breakfast sandwich. The powers

438
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.960
of observation by the Boss there on
full display. Cash for Carney's Baby coming

439
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.839
to a town near you. You're
better watch that next convention, oh my

440
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.519
god, because we'll be asking just
incredible about you know, how they thought

441
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:53.799
it was funny that he was Portuguese. Just incredible, man, you talk

442
00:29:53.839 --> 00:30:02.319
about a reality chat oohs him to
hope he thrives. But I know that's

443
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.599
all I can think about all weekend
when people kept out about ECW Nostalgiams Philly,

444
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:08.599
Yep, how about that? What
do you think about the downfall of

445
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:15.160
just incredible? And maybe if you
keep donating to the cause, Solar System

446
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:19.000
members, maybe one day we'll be
able to afford saboos price Because you want

447
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.880
to ask him about you want to
ask about Black Narcissus and talking about that,

448
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:29.160
who was gonna ask him about black
narcissts. It's like so telling you

449
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:30.599
you know your I know your uncle. You know you got the name Saboo

450
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.200
from the actor Saboo. Now,
now what was his favorite man? And

451
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.079
I know it's like, oh,
it was the the Thief of bag Dad

452
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.880
or whatever the fuck? Okay,
did he ever watch Black Narcissus? Did

453
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.680
you ever watch that one about the
nuns? Amazing and the sexual tension with

454
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.039
the nuns? Oh, but there's
a white narcissist right here, Lex Luger

455
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:53.440
and his reel chair, which I
was weird aot it should be a pro

456
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.160
I didn't know, but maybe next
time. And Jim Duggan, if you

457
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.640
don't know, very rarely he does
podcast. That's right, We're told,

458
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:06.279
that's right. Big loss there,
Yeah for him. Tough guy. All

459
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:11.279
right, why don't you go ahead
and share this missive from Steve Funker My

460
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.960
Tail of Lapsom Greeting's CoA Chairs.
My Tail of Lapsom is one as old

461
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:21.359
as time. I'll describe myself as
a as Thrice. Lapsed first time,

462
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.240
beginning in nine ninety three when I
started getting hair on my crotch and the

463
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:30.279
product was pissed poor wait your crotch
product or at the customers. Okay.

464
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.640
Then back in the groove around the
time of Bad Blood, which took place

465
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:41.079
in my home base of Saint Louis. Around then I became a rabbit fan,

466
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.319
found ECW and still hold memories from
ninety seven through two thousand and two

467
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.160
or so, very dear. I
lapsed again in two thousand and two as

468
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.480
things weren't quite the same without ECW
around, plus I finally started giving regular,

469
00:31:53.279 --> 00:32:04.599
plus I started getting regular pussy.
I clawed my way back around for

470
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:09.440
one nice stand and the subsequent ECW
reboot, but found the WWECW was not

471
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.359
for me, unsurprisingly, and lapsed
again. I'm lapsed to this day,

472
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.880
though I still watch the pl s
and stay relatively current with the goings on

473
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:25.640
so goings on, so maybe not
so much. I've never really lapsed in

474
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.880
terms of the nostalgia. I stumble
on something to Wrestle early on, and

475
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.079
was a loyal listener to the Conrad
Cast and still am to some degree.

476
00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:38.119
But since Bruce has to tow the
company line and Jr. Only gets excited

477
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:47.119
about Alpha males and barbecue sauce,
I found myself wanting more. I kept

478
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:51.319
reading about this thing called the lapsed
fan. Hey that's me, I thought

479
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.519
to myself. But who are these
guys and why the fuck do I want

480
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:58.559
to listen to them talk about Survivors
Series eighty eight or seven hours. As

481
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.759
you know by now, I didn't
want to listen to anything I fucking needed

482
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:07.000
to on that topic. Can we
just shout the following from the fucking rooftops.

483
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:12.200
The podcast is seven hours, because
that's how long it fucking takes.

484
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:23.000
They laugh at their own jokes because
they're fucking funny. Now that's now,

485
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.400
that that's out of the way,
the truth is I don't have all that

486
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.119
much time to listen to podcasts these
days, I'm a single father with shared

487
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.319
custody of two young children brother,
I have a demanding job that I can

488
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.000
rarely cast during, and I no
longer commute to the office, so the

489
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.720
time that time is gone, I
still have over three hundred episodes in my

490
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:51.000
backlock. Oh yeah, hear this, like after we're all dead and who

491
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.119
knows if I ever will get to
them. For two years, I have

492
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:59.119
used this as a poor excuse for
not tithing, and I am so very

493
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:05.799
ashamed of being such a bitch because
my need is not about the volume of

494
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:10.719
content TLF provides. My need is
deeper than that. It's because I am

495
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:15.559
depressed because I miss my kids.
It's because if I am depressed, oh

496
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:17.639
oh, it's because if oh sorry, It's because if I am depressed,

497
00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:21.639
thank you, uh, I depressed
about because I miss my kids or have

498
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.519
had a rough day at work,
TLF can turn me around. It's because

499
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.079
if I'm busy on a weekend with
one of the multitude of house jaws or

500
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:37.960
repairs, I have TLF in my
ears and deep up my ass to get

501
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.400
me through it with a fucking smile. What it all boils down to is

502
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:49.440
that I if I was about this
podcast, it would affect me emotionally.

503
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:54.039
As Vince would say, you put
smiles on faces. It's not the only

504
00:34:54.079 --> 00:35:01.039
podcast I listened to, but it's
the only one that fucking matter. I

505
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:06.000
devoured the Lamentable Tragedy ahead of the
Iron Claws release. I can't wait to

506
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:10.280
learn more about the Funks than I
ever thought I needed to know. The

507
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.920
Teenage Journey was a fucking phenomenon,
and I gobbled it up despite my having

508
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:21.719
never watched more than five minutes of
TNA in my life. Welcome TNA,

509
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:23.519
by the way. I know,
all of a sudden TNA was really hot.

510
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.800
And why all of a sudden people
talking about TNA again? They brought

511
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.599
the name back. It seemed like
their pay per views were doing relatively well

512
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:32.519
all of a sudden, It's like, what changed? Oh, I don't

513
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.719
know, I don't know what it
could have been last year? Will hold

514
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:43.679
him? TNA Wichill Holgan makes a
come back there too, why's that happen?

515
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.480
I am actually really bummed that he
didn't come out to stop Roman from

516
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.719
beating his rain. I mean,
that would have been better than than than

517
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:55.679
undertaking it was the lamest final.
Yeah, you know what the gong wasn't

518
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.440
we gotta pop and even got a
pop from me. I will admit that

519
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:05.320
evidence saying because it's like, you
know, but the glass shattering or real

520
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:09.880
American playing would have been so much
fucking and it makes sense like in the

521
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.159
dorm room when he attacked Rock and
Pine two. Yes, exactly exactly.

522
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:16.800
I want you to know, by
the way, and I don't appreciate this.

523
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.159
I've been walking around, you know, in my own head since we

524
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:29.480
since we went to Philly doing the
Roman Reign song. But I mean everywhere.

525
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:37.559
I don't know why it's in my
head. Hold on, I get

526
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:38.679
it now, I gotta. I
gotta ask you to do it. I'm

527
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:42.199
just saying I have to now,
now I have to. I mean it's

528
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:49.719
like, you know, Roam and
he's like standing on the apron looking at

529
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.719
the ceil. Yeah, he knows
the head of the here. He is

530
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:53.440
the head of the head of the
tabla, the head of the tableau.

531
00:36:53.480 --> 00:37:23.000
Oh fuck off and your commercial brother

00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:45.400
slim gyms have been out in the
sun a long time. Give us the

594
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.360
only reason why they're a little damp
aut right, They're not want you know,

595
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.639
I'm not saying they're bad they got
them, purchase them today, all

596
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.199
right, expires in two weeks.
We got two weeks to eat these.

597
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:01.159
But they've been outside. There's no
place for us to go inside right now,

598
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:04.800
so they might be a little sweaty. I'm a little bit of that,

599
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.199
you know, if you will,
condensation, you know, you know

600
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:10.199
what I'm talking about. All right, Oh now, I don't mean any

601
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:14.239
disrespect, not trying to pull anything
over on you, on you fans,

602
00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.679
on your announcers, on anybody,
on everybody who's snacking on a slim gym

603
00:44:17.800 --> 00:44:21.360
right now. Now, what I'm
trying to do, I'm here. I'm

604
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:23.719
here being honest. I'm telling you
the way that it is. The macho

605
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:30.199
main Randy Savage got these sl gyms
this morning at the hotel. Here they

606
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:32.360
are right now, Uh huh.
They might be a little bit sweaty.

607
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:35.559
You know, they've been out in
the sun for a little while. You

608
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:37.639
know, it's a hot day here
on Huntington Beach. What are you gonna

609
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:45.039
do with that slim jet You're gonna
eat it good, They're gonna you're gonna

610
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.920
take it. You're gonna snap into
it. I don't know that's up to

611
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:51.199
you right not my place to tell
you what to do. You are your

612
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:53.960
own people out there. What I
am suggesting is that not you. That

613
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:58.920
you all understand. Right now,
slim gym is presenting Bash at the Beach.

614
00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:00.000
Bash at the Beach, the number
I want to show, the summer

615
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:06.360
biggest party, the place where you're
gonna take the meat. You're gonna eat

616
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.719
the meat, You're gonna shove it
up your ass. You're gonna take it

617
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:12.679
in your hands like I I got
mice Jim, and I'm gonna shoot it

618
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:20.639

talk about a tour to fours, talk

619
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:24.599
about tlf AX right, Holy shit, holy shit. I think my favorite

620
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:28.920
is when he says, I'm telling
you the way that it is, macho

621
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:34.199
man, Randy Savage got these sling
drids this morning at the hotel. That's

622
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:36.760
the way that it is. I
don't know you want Yeah, it makes

623
00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:42.760
sense to me. How does Steve
conclude now if that isn't worth my three

624
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:46.039
sixteen every month and nothing is also, Come on, people don't be like

625
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.639
me. He's thirty eight dollars a
year. You know what else? I

626
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:54.559
pay thirty eight dollars a year for
fucking dishwasher, booster powder, rock salt

627
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:58.559
from my driveway cheese. It's get
your wallets out and do what's right.

628
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:01.960
Thank you for making my life just
a little bit better every week. Thank

629
00:46:01.960 --> 00:46:07.239
you for Holkamania, and thank you
for filling my oozing filth chasm. Yes,

630
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.880
for always invading a hole that was
at one time alone and empty,

631
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:16.320
and for making me gape like Carrie
vance Malthaz. He scrambles for the next

632
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:22.960
line of promo. Oh to that, I can only say, you're welcome.

633
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.440
Thank you for the letter, Gary
Sayingherra, Thank you very much for

634
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:29.840
your pledge to us on Patreon.
We appreciate it and we will prove worthy

635
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.199
of the vote of confidence seemed to
you, George Holden. These are all

636
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:35.840
folks, by the way, who
have pledged to us afresh since we last

637
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.719
hit you with some mailbag. Tips
of the cap to those who saw fit

638
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:43.360
to put the cake on the table
and change the game, change the equation.

639
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:46.519
Jeff writes on Patreon, the paper
shudder and porch lamps are akin to

640
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:52.480
Kastanza getting John voyds LeBaron. This
is up from a lot of thanks.

641
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:57.559
Terry Funk's the state sal do you
know the rest? I kept it here

642
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.440
because I'm not sure I know because
stands of course from Yeah, but is

643
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:05.320
there an episode where he gets John
voyce Leberon that's something. Yeah, yeah,

644
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:10.039
he gets his he get gets his
fucking car. It's really he may

645
00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:14.880
and if I remember correctly, I
don't even think he ended up being John

646
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:16.679
Void John Vote. It think's like
some of the random clown named John Void

647
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:19.719
or something like that. I could
be wrong. Maybe that's what they think,

648
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:21.480
or I don't rememb It's been a
while since I seeen in the episode,

649
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:23.760
but I do get the reference.
Scott Michael Ferry. I really hate

650
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:25.519
to do this to you guys and
t all of us in Solar System,

651
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:29.519
but if the Boss really wants another
shot at being able to dive deep into

652
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:31.800
legendary Peter Falk, he was once
in a movie where Rena Lesnar is Rena

653
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:37.480
Merrow had a role as a female
bouncer. That film defeated Zi Corky Romano.

654
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:43.679
Oh fuck, well, let's put
on the list. I don't know

655
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:49.320
that is absolutely, but if Reena
is in it, it counts. Yes.

656
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:52.760
DJ. Thank you very much for
your pledge. Zach Thinks as always

657
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:57.159
for your votes of confidence over the
years. Very much appreciate you having you

658
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:00.280
out there in the solar system.
Pal Robert, who writes shadowt to local

659
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:05.440
eighties nineties department stores weekends with Grandma
getting strawberry pie at Hes Brothers and Allentown

660
00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:08.880
Pa. Thinking the store was bullshit
because it had no hasbros oof us.

661
00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:13.480
Some of the days to me digging
that my good friend Steven over in Ireland.

662
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:15.320
I really feel Boston. I could
spend then afternoon exchanging war stories on

663
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:20.039
dealing with the public and museum atmospheres. Some of his recollections of working at

664
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:24.760
MSG gave me Vietnamese Vietnam esque flashbacks. Hopefully he never had a member of

665
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:28.559
the public try to pick a fight
because they disagree of the historical facts that

666
00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:30.280
paint a person, country, or
institution they care about in a bad light.

667
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:34.599
Do you remember that you remember getting
pushed back anything he said on the

668
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:39.559
tour, No, not really pushback, more just like, you know,

669
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:45.480
the the worst things were when I'd
have a crowd that just didn't you know,

670
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.599
they didn't fucking they spoke no English, and so were they all,

671
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:52.840
you know, and so they're just
kind of like a curious choice that to

672
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:57.280
take an English language tour I agree. I agree, but like you know,

673
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.519
we I'd go through things and I'd
be like and then I'd do one

674
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:06.679
of my one of my jokes and
it just be complete utter silence, and

675
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:09.559
I just have to like walk on
to the next thing, you know,

676
00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:14.280
let alone the wrestling references. Oh, it's it's completely it's it's I mean,

677
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.360
it is so emasculating when that happens. Like you know, when you

678
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:20.440
when you're you know, because you
have you have good crowds, you have

679
00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:22.679
bad crowds, and it's like,
you know nothing, they're never any bad

680
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:28.400
crowds. But it's like there are
crowds that just don't know, you know,

681
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.079
they don't know what I'm I'm saying. You know, it's it's not

682
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:36.480
their fault, you know, and
so it's it's it's it's it's it was

683
00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:38.519
rough. That was that was kind
of no real pushback though on stuff,

684
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:44.159
Like I never really got any Everyone
was pretty pretty cool that I that I

685
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:45.199
had. Anyway, I mean,
they're they're definitely stories. You know,

686
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:52.920
people always have weird stories about about
people and stuff, and you know,

687
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:59.079
some some would some would I heard
people would, some people would get questioned

688
00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.280
further there for the fact, but
I never had that issue. Okay,

689
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:06.920
I just dealt with, you know, just people who were just like just

690
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:12.320
you know, staring at me like
a fucking idiot, which I was.

691
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:15.480
So they're fair to get they're fair
to do so well, speaking of not

692
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:17.159
their fault. One of the more
jarring moments of Philly Weekend was at Wrestle

693
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:20.239
Khan and some guy I don't even
know from a hole in the wall walking

694
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:22.960
around saying do you know where Gene
Snitzky is? That? That was like,

695
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:27.039
that was alarming. That was very
and like and why are you come

696
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:29.400
up to set it in a way
where it's like Snitzky is loose, like

697
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:30.960
he's not in his cage. Well, not only that, but also that

698
00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:35.119
I should be responsible for it.
Yeah, he came up to me like

699
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:37.519
as if it was something that I
should be taken care of. No,

700
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:40.800
I don't worry again, right,
I don't. I don't work here.

701
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:44.360
You know, Maybe that's the guy
Shane Douglas said we had to talk to.

702
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:46.599
Maybe maybe that's it. Maybe that's
it because he has a contract.

703
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:51.800
Maybe this is bad when we do
cash for carneies. I remember equally as

704
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:55.440
vividly the stories about no, as
well as I do the wonderful things people

705
00:50:55.480 --> 00:51:00.239
who gave us the time said yeah, yeah, oh yeah. I mean,

706
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:01.880
you know, it's funny too.
I remember, I remember the first

707
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:06.840
the first time we did Starcast too. It's funny how we've kind of evolved

708
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:10.960
from that because at the when we
did Starcast, remember uh uh uh Teddy

709
00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:15.280
Long wanted money for an interview.
He wanted like fifty bucks for it,

710
00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:16.840
and we said no because we weren't
doing anything. We're only getting free ones

711
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:20.119
at the time. Yeah, we
just you know, it was like,

712
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:21.519
okay, well, if you want
to get paid, that's fine, we

713
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:22.719
respect that and we're not going to
you. Yeah, I'm not gonna do

714
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:24.679
that. But now it's like,
okay, let's see what let's see what

715
00:51:24.760 --> 00:51:28.000
kind of havoc we can cut.
I don't know, there was something about

716
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:31.360
that Brett Hart experience where I was
like, Okay, oh, totally,

717
00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:34.519
well, these guys will do it, and like, yeah, we're the

718
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:37.000
only podcast in the world that that
kind of a short, bite sized interaction

719
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.599
with can be worth it to our
listeners, right because the random ass ship

720
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:45.360
will ask them. So let's fucking
go. Yeap Lap lapsed veteran I want

721
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:47.519
to thank you very much for your
generous pledge. Welcome in GMB eighty five.

722
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:50.880
Same to you. Thank you very
much for the cake. Rich Molton

723
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:53.400
saw fit recently to bump up his
pledge on Patreon, and we thank him

724
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:57.960
very much for that. Same to
Brandon m who saw fit to do much

725
00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:00.719
the same thing. Welcome into Philip
Guessert. Thank you for the pledge,

726
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:05.920
and Cody Hinkel as well. This
one from Declan co Chairs. Thank you

727
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:07.920
so much for ten years of entertainment. The show has helped me become secure

728
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:12.039
in my wrestling fandom to the point
where I now embrace it. I've lapsed

729
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:14.719
since two thousand and three and never
looked back. After the ben Wah tragedy

730
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:15.719
in two thousand and seven, we
hear a lot of that, don't Yes,

731
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:20.880
we do. That was a real
demarcation line for a lot of people,

732
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.079
you know, and I actually do
think that I do fall in that

733
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:28.320
as well. You know, I
think that I never really realized it,

734
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:32.159
but I think it makes sense.
It goes on to write. My favorite

735
00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:35.920
TLFX moment came in the ten year
University of the ben Wa Tragedy, Part

736
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:38.480
one, where Jack says who killed
Chris Benoir grab a fucking mirror. Yes,

737
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:42.800
yes, Kat. The cast's ability
to meet this tragedy head on and

738
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:46.559
do comprehensive shows is about It is
what makes this cast different from all others.

739
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:51.519
Agreed, I've stopped purchasing PBR and
Wily jump back in when they do

740
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:52.679
the right thing by the co chair
as well, declan, that's kind of

741
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:57.119
you hit that garage instead. Uh
yeah, we've got somewhere else to point

742
00:52:57.199 --> 00:53:00.119
to these days. We're growing with
somebody else over here much because hey,

743
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:02.400
it makes it only makes sense,
right, you know, PBR, you're

744
00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:07.559
in that sort of stage of still
kind of you're like you're clinging to still

745
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:09.880
being part of the scene, but
you're a little old, right, Oh

746
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.880
yeah, you're drinking it. You're
in that phase now. Someone put this

747
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:17.079
brilliant interface you someone else talking to
It's like PBR is like I'm you know,

748
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:22.760
you drink it when it's the cheap
beer in college and it's sort of

749
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:24.840
like an ironic thing, and then
later, like twenty years later, when

750
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:29.000
you have money in a job,
you drink it to try to relive those

751
00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:31.039
days, right, right, sort
of, But but garage beers for those

752
00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:34.400
who are like now dads and they're
in the garage and they don't having time

753
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:37.440
for that shit exactly, and we
doubut people that have been with us through

754
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:40.079
their thirties right trying to avoid,
trying to avoid their children and their families

755
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:45.000
totally get it. So I think
it's appropriate. I think it's very brand

756
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:50.480
and avoid your families. What did
you kids? Now? Garage beer,

757
00:53:50.519 --> 00:53:52.199
by the way, not available across
the United States. They're they're growing.

758
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:55.199
Philly is one of their oly attack
markets. So it's a match made in

759
00:53:55.239 --> 00:54:00.280
heaven. But when they come to
your area, you gotta let it know

760
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:05.559
that a TLF feels the love and
is interested in reciprocating. It's real.

761
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:07.840
Rye Rae, thank you very much
for your pledge. Morgan Brown, thank

762
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:12.639
you. Welcome into the inner circle. We appreciate it. This one coming

763
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:19.360
from our boy Chris. It's relevant
to the Funker as well. Definitely getting

764
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:22.280
a lot of Funk love both here
in the mailbag and when we were in

765
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:27.159
Philly. And for sure, I
will you can do much worse than being

766
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:30.360
associated, even in some small way, with Terry Funk Absolute Podcast. I'll

767
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:38.440
tell you that. Hello figured it
appropriate to start an email about a past

768
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:44.559
legend with an intro from another.
So I pounded through the Funk Tribute episodes

769
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:50.440
like one of Rob Black's Extreme associates
male parts, Oh Jesus, pounding the

770
00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:55.800
asses of xtpw's future roster pallets.
It was amazing and emotional. I think

771
00:54:55.840 --> 00:55:00.639
it stands out as your very best
work, which is a mother fucking bar

772
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:04.760
and a half to raise as is. All I can say about it is

773
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:08.400
thank you, and then and continue
the pain and suffering I always need and

774
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:15.679
likely deserve more. That said,
I wanted to share an autograph from Terry.

775
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:21.800
I have many pictures with wrestlers from
monster Mania, cons and New Jersey,

776
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:27.679
but the only autograph I ever got
was from Terry. It was in

777
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.159
fact the Ring of Honor show where
he fought Punk, which was also my

778
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:35.840
first live Ring of Honor event.
He was sitting in the lobby area during

779
00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:38.440
the intermission at the Murphy rec Center. Barely anyone was approaching him, and

780
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:42.719
I was like, why is no
one talking to this guy? This is

781
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:46.000
Terry fucking Funk. I'm forty six
now, so I was first introduced to

782
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:52.239
him outside of after Mags in WWE. Is a crazy cowboy that in WCW

783
00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:54.400
trying to murder Flair. Then growing
up in New Jersey, about ten minutes

784
00:55:54.440 --> 00:56:00.079
from Philly, I went to ECW
regularly, and lastly back and forth with

785
00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:04.280
w c W and w w E. So the absurdity that only one person

786
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:07.800
was talking to this amazing person was
overwhelming. I decided I was going to

787
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:12.119
change that circumstance and got into the
three person line, prepping how I would

788
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:16.840
impress him with my deep and wide
knowledge of wrestling, but uh more so

789
00:56:17.079 --> 00:56:23.480
of his origins, only to effectively
become Ralphie. Confronted with the ruddied nosed

790
00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:28.280
Santa in the mall. As I
approached, he looked me up and down

791
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:30.599
and with a kindly smile, asking
my name and what I'd like him to

792
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:37.840
write. I brilliantly stated, anything
you want works for me, really anyway?

793
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:42.639
He wrote, you know, No, I asked you, what do

794
00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:45.320
you know? I don't know what? I asked, what you want me

795
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:46.920
to write? I don't. I
don't want to go ahead and write something

796
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:50.320
I want to write because I don't
know what the fuck you're talking about.

797
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.320
Honestly and sincerely. Honestly and sincerely, I'd rather go shoot myself in the

798
00:56:53.400 --> 00:57:00.239
head. What huh, Jesus Christ, answer the question. Wait, that

799
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.599
was a question, you said,
honestly and sincerely, I'd rather go shoot

800
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:10.800
myself on the head. That was
a question. Anyway. He wrote his

801
00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:15.760
note, and as I took it
to read, he smirched or rascally smiling

802
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:23.280
softly said read that I had it, and it said, Hey, Chris,

803
00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:30.920
stay out of jail. Just kidding, you're pal Terry Funk. I

804
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:36.719
replied, Oh yeah, thank you. Another of my witty responses. Funk

805
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:39.159
goes, I'm just kidding with you. Enjoy the show, Chris, to

806
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:45.880
which I nervously chuckled and said,
oh, it's okay, appreciated it,

807
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:54.599
thank you, thank you for all
the memories. But I'm sure I don't

808
00:57:54.639 --> 00:58:02.440
take a breath these interactions with Terry
Funker, like, oh god, unbelievable.

809
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:07.000
Yes, yeah, it's so true. So uh, oh, it's

810
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:09.880
okay, not offended at all,
appreciated and thank you, meaning thank you

811
00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:13.239
for all the memories. But to
him, I'm sure it was a polite.

812
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:16.559
Thanks for the autograph, Oh well, that's my story and for your

813
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:21.800
optical pleasure. Included a pick of
the only rest only wrestler autograph that I

814
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:25.639
have, and that matters. It's
a beautiful thing. By the way,

815
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:31.880
this just made me remember for some
reason, uh fucking Christian Hollister, uh

816
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:39.360
championship belt a title Like you know, here I go off on all I

817
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:42.719
mean, granted, listen, I
didn't bring it. I stood by,

818
00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:44.880
I stood my ground, and I
had no intention to bring it because you

819
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:46.840
know what, bring bring it?
Wrestling it because I don't want to fucking

820
00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:51.239
wants to care. Honestly, the
more you think about it, yes,

821
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:55.159
it's stupid from a from a a
logical context, but who wants to carry

822
00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:59.000
that ship around? I'm telling you. One of the craziest things, Like

823
00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:01.320
when I was having my aforementioned difficulty
getting into the stadium on night too,

824
00:59:01.400 --> 00:59:06.599
I'm like, like observing the guy
who wands you through, who works for

825
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:10.079
the Lincoln Financial Field that he's like, if anybody has wrestling belts, you

826
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:14.000
got to put them over here.
Have the metal detectors? Like yeah,

827
00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:16.280
right, but you can't. You
can't say no to bring wrestling belts into

828
00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:21.239
WrestleMania. They'll be a fucking riot, exactly. There'll be a mutiny because

829
00:59:21.239 --> 00:59:24.079
people want to fucking you know people, people want to show off their championship

830
00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:27.880
winnings. They don't let you bring
pocket night. Yet think of the things

831
00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:30.440
they don't let you bring into a
stadium for security. They let you bring

832
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:34.400
these huge fuck you could fucking belts. You could fucking waffle somebody over the

833
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:36.480
head with one of those belts and
it would hurt. Just take off at

834
00:59:36.519 --> 00:59:39.679
the price and turn like a shift
or something exactly. It's just so much

835
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:43.480
damage. You can whip somebody to
death with it. It's very bizarre.

836
00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:46.159
But you can't say because there's too
many. There's just every other person has

837
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:50.719
those things. And when we went
to wrestling twenty years ago, no one

838
00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:52.880
had those, No one, no
one, you're the phone. They were

839
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:58.280
even a thought, like you know, you don't even think about it because

840
00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:01.079
they were so you know, like
they were so unique, and no nobody

841
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:06.519
had the wherewithal the have like something
that with the half of the actual WWF

842
01:00:06.599 --> 01:00:08.199
title. You wouldn't take that out
of your house. Of course, it

843
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:13.840
would be like a keepsake. You
wouldn't wear it to the matches. Oh

844
01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:16.760
my god. I mean, it's
like it was out of control, and

845
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:20.199
it is. I will say this, that that belt that he the AWA

846
01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:23.400
belt, that is very unique belt
at number one. It's a lovely piece.

847
01:00:23.559 --> 01:00:25.840
It's kind of the only belt that
I would want to get, and

848
01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:30.159
I would again not want to buy
it, but it's it's also it's it's

849
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:35.960
it's like real metal. It doesn't
it's not cheap. It's really well done.

850
01:00:36.280 --> 01:00:40.000
So that's a fucking great, great
gift. I do. I do,

851
01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:43.239
listen, you know what, it's
the one I do pick it up

852
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:45.039
every now and again and I just
kind of look at it for a bit.

853
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:50.440
I don't walk around the house with
it yet. You know, I'll

854
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:53.840
tell you that just holding that belt
in the hotel room give me more appreciation

855
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:57.840
for the half dollar year. Now, I will never look at belt shots

856
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:00.400
the same. I used to think
it was kind of stupid and a wrestler,

857
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:01.280
we're head of the wrestler over the
head with the title belt, and

858
01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:07.559
then sell it like it's really hard
metal, you know. Yeah, yeah,

859
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:09.199
if it's anything like that belt,
that is a legitimate knockout machine.

860
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:14.000

Hurts for that generous plank. Yes
we do. I'm glad you agree.

882
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:45.199
Freshly Squeezed Garrick writes to us Derek
co Chairs respectfully and lovingly, fuck you

883
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:49.800
guys, short time listener, first
time correspondence, but in light of TLFX,

884
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.679
I feel compelled to share my perspective
on this undertaking you have unleased upon

885
01:02:52.719 --> 01:02:55.079
our readers and assholes. I never
wanted to be a wrestling fan again.

886
01:02:55.800 --> 01:02:59.360
I never know what a lapsed fan
was, and now I count myself amongst

887
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:01.039
their numbers. And like many things
in my life, I didn't know what

888
01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:05.159
I wanted, what I needed until
I found it. My story, in

889
01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:07.800
many ways, is a story of
many a lapsed fan, likely a small

890
01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:12.119
contingent and one I'm sure you never
considered. And I have found mutual ground

891
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:15.000
with many folks that likely never considered
me either. Like Benny, I first

892
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:20.960
found predetermined pugilism and the hallote isles
of the local video rental. I didn't

893
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:22.199
know which was first. I was
very young, but over time I'd rented

894
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:25.880
and consumed every tape they had,
and then found another store and looked through

895
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:30.239
theirs. I needed it all.
Yes, the Sport of Kings, the

896
01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:32.719
superheroes and the flesh, the American
Dream, Big, Van Vader, Ravishing,

897
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:36.039
Rick rud the Hart Foundation in the
Legion of Doom. I love them

898
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:38.039
all, except that weird dude from
Demolition that couldn't stop making faces every few

899
01:03:38.079 --> 01:03:43.320
seconds like a character select screen on
Loop. I guess he means Barry Darcel

900
01:03:43.360 --> 01:03:46.719
On that one, I guess Christ
the fuck are you doing? My guy?

901
01:03:46.960 --> 01:03:51.480
These felt like mythical stories of long
ago. And then television was this

902
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:54.480
Shawn Michaels live in real time on
my screen? Is that Golddust? One

903
01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:58.519
of my all time favorites from recent
tape acquisitions? What is this raw?

904
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:01.280
On the age of nine, I
realized that these tapes and these Warriors were

905
01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:05.159
Square Circle still existed right now in
real time, and I was hooked about

906
01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:08.800
that, thinking, first time it's
you wrestling that it's something that no longer

907
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:12.880
exists in it's only video too,
that's wild. My parents weren't thrilled the

908
01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:15.719
shame fallow it. Well, I
can't remember, you know. I was

909
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:16.599
talking about how my dad Remerit and
No Holds Barred one time, and that

910
01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:20.000
was really my first exposure to Hultkogan. I do kind of remember being blown

911
01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:25.320
away that actually, the thing that's
portrayed in No Holds Barred is on television

912
01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:27.920
every week with new matches and characters. Yeah, yeah, I can see

913
01:04:27.960 --> 01:04:30.599
that still going. It's a thing. It's not just right in the movie,

914
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:32.599
it's a thing in real life.
Well, exactly what he's talking about,

915
01:04:32.599 --> 01:04:36.639
but it's close. My parents weren't
thrilled to a fine real life.

916
01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:42.599
Yeah, that's a that's more of
a cinemac conversation, that's true. Good

917
01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.000
point welled soon after by me convincing
them to order a pay per view for

918
01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:47.440
my birthday party so I could invite
all the kids in my grade to watch

919
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:49.679
it together. The pay per view. Being King of the Ring nineteen ninety

920
01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:54.039
eight the pain. There were plenty
of unhappy parents, I'm sure. After

921
01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:57.280
several more years, I found myself
lapsed. Something about being a young punk

922
01:04:57.360 --> 01:05:00.079
kid living through the Second Iraq War
made the product post nine to eleven more

923
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:02.360
and more unbearable. The first inkling
that maybe these characters that I had learned

924
01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:05.719
from Mick Foley's book were acting apart, especially the dastard lead mister McMahon,

925
01:05:05.719 --> 01:05:10.760
were doing less acting and more traumatization
of their true selves. I love that,

926
01:05:10.880 --> 01:05:14.559
right. Everybody's an extension of themselves
except mister McMahon. Fucking right.

927
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:17.800
I threw my time into music and
dating and becoming an adult, and he's

928
01:05:17.840 --> 01:05:21.440
actually entertainment. He's actually not an
extension. He's just himself. That's right,

929
01:05:21.639 --> 01:05:24.920
exactly. There's not even any exaggeration, as we came to find.

930
01:05:25.480 --> 01:05:28.920
As we've been telling you for about
ten years now. Then twenty years later,

931
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:30.639
COVID destroyed much of the life I
had built, a career I was

932
01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:34.000
proud of that. I would retire
on that quirk quickly became too dangerous to

933
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:39.199
continue, leading to unemployment lasting years
with some free time, though like everyone

934
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.320
had during the initial attempt at lockdowns, did bring my attention to new streaming

935
01:05:42.360 --> 01:05:47.280
services. What is peacock? It
has read interesting? What is that?

936
01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:50.639
I partner and I were curious and
watch some of the newer things, finding

937
01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:54.280
and entertaining, but clearly very different
from what I had as a kid.

938
01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:58.239
Oh wow, this thing has all
the pay per views ever, brother,

939
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:00.920
I wonder with the last one I
remember seeing was maybe I'll look just for

940
01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:05.480
curiosity again, It's not like I'm
going to watch them or anything. No.

941
01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:10.880
Two years later, at two hundred
and forty shows later, Yes,

942
01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:15.360
and once again a full time wrestling
fan, but the deeper appreciation and understanding

943
01:06:15.360 --> 01:06:16.639
of why I loved it in the
first place. I don't keep up on

944
01:06:16.679 --> 01:06:19.480
modern WW because it's simply too painful, and if I'm going to hurt that

945
01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:21.440
much, I'm going to choose to
do it to myself more than that.

946
01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:26.079
Later. Oh oh boy, something
else happened in the isolation of COVID nineteen

947
01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:28.280
along with my journey back in a
wrestling fan. And it turns out that

948
01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:30.440
when you don't have to go out
in public and uphold the mask you have

949
01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:32.679
created to protect yourself every day,
that mask begins to slip fully ah,

950
01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:36.199
and you are forced to finally see
the person beneath it. How long with

951
01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:39.760
falling in love with wrestling again,
I came to realize and accept that I

952
01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:43.559
am, in fact a trans woman. Now, after several years into both

953
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:45.440
of these journeys, I have found
that the two may not have been mutually

954
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:49.800
exclusive from my personal experience. Interesting
and then my experience, there are actually

955
01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:54.840
quite a few of us. I
found that entire community of trans wrestling fans

956
01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:58.519
yep, and it has been amazing
to behold. It turns out that much

957
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:01.400
like the queer coating of Disneyville in
the nineties, having queer coated heels like

958
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:05.400
gold Dust just gave some of us
examples of queer people kicking ass in the

959
01:07:05.440 --> 01:07:10.760
face of slurs from a society that
hates them. It had the opposite of

960
01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:14.679
the intended effect. I found out
you could be pretty and strong and not

961
01:07:14.840 --> 01:07:17.119
take shit from those that don't want
you to live your truth. Fuck yeah

962
01:07:18.039 --> 01:07:21.440
the New Year's Baby, though,
that was fucked up? Dustined, what

963
01:07:21.519 --> 01:07:25.760
the hell? Yeah, Well that's
wrestling, man, I don't care.

964
01:07:26.039 --> 01:07:28.639
Right, they're gonna take it.
They are point everybody. They are going

965
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:32.639
to take it. One step or
five steps too far exactly exactly. Now,

966
01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:35.920
be careful about being represented. Okay, we talk about the importance of

967
01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:42.159
representation well and pro wrestling. It's
it's a dicey proposition. Now that I

968
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:44.639
was caught up on things and had
the right hand head on my shoulders,

969
01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:47.119
I started searching out everything I could
about wrestling history. I needed to know

970
01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:50.440
it all. I started by dredging
through all the shoot interviews and podcasts of

971
01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:54.760
the same stories being told and retold. Still felt like cafabe. I needed

972
01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:58.360
more. Was I going to have
to do this myself? I looked again

973
01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:00.360
for wrestling podcasts that did not present
these workers. Tall tales is the only

974
01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:05.079
possible truth with no further research.
What was this? The lapsed fan?

975
01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:10.440
What's that? My god? Six
hours? Never heard of it? Okay,

976
01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:16.000
maybe maybe one just to see possible. You were saying, that's like

977
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:20.399
a that's like a fucking teenager saying
just the tip, yeah, famous last

978
01:08:20.399 --> 01:08:25.479
words. Possibly my favorite tape from
the rental store, the search for Sweet

979
01:08:25.479 --> 01:08:31.399
Sapphires. Oh no, no,
it's good and they're funny. It reeks

980
01:08:31.439 --> 01:08:34.159
of cis hat, white guy.
But the research, my god, the

981
01:08:34.239 --> 01:08:41.600
research totally does absolutely there's no no
denying that at all. I believe I

982
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:44.880
fit the description. I have to
do some gruggling, but oh shit,

983
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:46.720
this butt stuff is funny as hell. Yes it is. Oh my god,

984
01:08:46.920 --> 01:08:50.479
Oh my god, ooh a steroid
trial. Jesus father, Oh no,

985
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:53.880
no, my dear CoA chairs.
In a few short months, it

986
01:08:53.960 --> 01:08:56.960
became even clearer. This is not
what I wanted, it is what I

987
01:08:58.119 --> 01:09:00.600
needed. Hey, you know this
is We don't say it because it's not

988
01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:03.680
true. We don't say it because
it's catchy. We say it because everyone

989
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:08.680
says it back to us tenfold.
I took the main's journey. I scar

990
01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:11.920
blated and ran hot. I learned
the art of war games. I learned

991
01:09:11.960 --> 01:09:14.800
the history of my current homeland of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the rise and

992
01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:17.800
fall of the AABA. And by
God that I suffer through the lamentable tragedy,

993
01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:21.079
because god damn it have been needed
several champions, Oh damn straight.

994
01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:24.119
So, as much as I hate
to admit it, as some of the

995
01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:27.199
bits are hard to stomach. As
a woman, a survivor of sexual assault,

996
01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:30.119
and a trans person living through a
modern world, it seems to want

997
01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:31.880
us dead more than ever. If
anyone were never asking me, you a

998
01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:35.199
fan I'd only have one honest answer
in radical honesty, is how I live

999
01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:40.479
nowadays. Yes, yes, I
am so thank you for having me ten

1000
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:43.279
years late to the party. And
on a final note, speaking of parties,

1001
01:09:43.479 --> 01:09:45.239
it turns out I still feel the
need to make a wrestling podcast no

1002
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:48.079
offense, But it turns out there's
a lot of voices that aren't sis had

1003
01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:54.039
men that have things to say about
their absolutely long love and hate of bullshit

1004
01:09:54.119 --> 01:10:00.439
Brawlingularly, anything from Staggerly Marshall is
that you have to be the pan gendered,

1005
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:02.439
no loads refused, nitro funk party
that you want to see in the

1006
01:10:02.520 --> 01:10:06.760
world. So go ahead and release
the podcast. I wish you the best.

1007
01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:12.479
I love that. I think it's
a great fucking idea. Oh shit,

1008
01:10:12.880 --> 01:10:16.600
I know, well yeah, you
know, hey I I I certainly

1009
01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:25.119
want to say I hear you h
regarding the sexual assault, and I wish

1010
01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:28.199
you the best. On a final
note, I'm willing to bet there's a

1011
01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:31.359
lot of us chronically online transferm lapsed
fan listeners. Interesting. If your back

1012
01:10:31.399 --> 01:10:34.479
catalog tells me anything, it's that
you guys also love pills to get your

1013
01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:39.079
dick card. Well wait, what
remember we do with the blue two days.

1014
01:10:39.159 --> 01:10:42.960
Oh fuck yes, and shoving things
are very swollen. You get yes.

1015
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:45.239
If this email is too long,
too much info in anyway and pleasant

1016
01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:49.600
energy to revisit its opening missive.
Fuck you guys, complimentary, never apologize,

1017
01:10:49.640 --> 01:10:53.880
but like the funker said, we
do it our way because we love

1018
01:10:53.920 --> 01:10:57.520
it that way. Damn right,
great stuff. Fuck yeah, I love

1019
01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:00.399
it for the missive, that's fantastic. H uh, Anthony FIORI thank you

1020
01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:03.199
very much for the pledge. We
appreciate the cake. Dean writes the night

1021
01:11:03.319 --> 01:11:08.600
Edge and mcfoley attack Cactus Jack on
Raw was five days before my college graduation.

1022
01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:11.760
That's how I spent the last Monday
night of course college days. Of

1023
01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:14.439
course, you could have been doing
anything. You could have been. You

1024
01:11:14.520 --> 01:11:19.439
could have been like partying, you
could have been fucking whatever, But you

1025
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:26.880
know what you were where you needed
to be, because that's where, you

1026
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.079
know. That's what we give up. We give up all the good ship

1027
01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:35.680
because we need to see what is
going to happen on Raw. Dean Cliff,

1028
01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:40.279
whatever your name is. Rights,
not drinking, not seeing friends,

1029
01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:44.920
watching fake sports, that's right,
and eating chicken tenders from the food hall.

1030
01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:49.520
I don't see the problem. It's
fucking go Boss, chicken tenders from

1031
01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:51.960
the food hall. Does that not
put you in a particular place in time?

1032
01:11:53.079 --> 01:11:59.640
Chicken patties at the thin chicken?
Feel? My god, you know

1033
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:01.960
what I mean? Christ I can
feel the jacket I owned that. Oh

1034
01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:04.159
I know, I can, I
can, I can. I can remember

1035
01:12:04.199 --> 01:12:11.319
my my, my leather blazer that
I used to wear. Because it's totally

1036
01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:15.800
okay. How about Jeff who writes
Hogan nineteen eighty four and the rest well

1037
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:18.840
is up to you, boss.
Hey, guys, saw that one of

1038
01:12:19.000 --> 01:12:24.920
the Hogan casts. H dropped saw
that part one of the Hogan What Hogan

1039
01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:29.319
cast? Do you remember doing Hogan's
first to win titling? Oh shit,

1040
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:32.039
Oh my god? Hap we to
do that? It's been been a long

1041
01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:41.199
year, a long TLFX. All
right, it's only just begun. Hope

1042
01:12:41.199 --> 01:12:44.960
it's not too late to send memories. But here's my story. It's a

1043
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:47.720
bit of a lapsed X recollection mixed
in with early Hogan. I found this

1044
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:51.960
podcast when you were when you all
were about halfway into the WrestleMania journey.

1045
01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:57.319
One thing tlf has always made me
think about was I don't remember not watching

1046
01:12:57.399 --> 01:13:02.279
wrestling or quote finding wrestling as far
back as I can remember. I remember

1047
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:04.920
being a wrestling fan, and it's
not like I was choosing what was on

1048
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:09.439
TV when I was a toddler in
the mid eighties. I was born a

1049
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:12.279
year after Hogan won the title for
the first time. My parents were young

1050
01:13:12.359 --> 01:13:18.439
when I was born. They are
early in the MTV era and the perfect

1051
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:23.760
demo for that early rock and wrestling
Hogan era. In the nineties, my

1052
01:13:23.840 --> 01:13:29.039
brother and I got a TV in
our room because they didn't want wrestling on

1053
01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:31.880
the TV. Wow. But the
older I get, the more obvious it

1054
01:13:32.039 --> 01:13:35.600
is that they were drawn into a
sport, into the sport of kings by

1055
01:13:35.720 --> 01:13:40.560
Hogan because I was too young,
quite frankly, to decide I was a

1056
01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:44.600
hulkamenagg I remember us checking out the
Rocky movies from the library in my late

1057
01:13:44.720 --> 01:13:48.439
teens. While most of you were
Blockbuster millennials, we were at checkout movies

1058
01:13:48.479 --> 01:13:53.039
from the library. Family they did
that too. They didn't have any wrestling

1059
01:13:53.079 --> 01:13:56.279
movies though. That's kind of thing
like, they didn't have any wrestling fucking

1060
01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:00.880
videos at my library, So yes, I would, I would borrow movies.

1061
01:14:00.960 --> 01:14:01.279
Well, I said, no,
you know what, I wouldn't.

1062
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:05.560
We didn't have them really like it
was. It was after I graduated high

1063
01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:11.159
school when the Town Library, Yeah, that's definitely more of a DVD.

1064
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:14.399
They didn't they didn't have like good
VHS tapes. They had like it was

1065
01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:16.720
crap. It was always not crap. I shouldn't say that, that's very

1066
01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:20.079
derogatory, but it was like,
you know, fucking PBS shit, and

1067
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:23.520
I don't want to watch that as
a kid, you know, right exactly.

1068
01:14:23.600 --> 01:14:27.439
It's like stuff, it's it's it's
it's video books is what it was,

1069
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:30.840
you know, and I don't.
I didn't want to read, sure,

1070
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:33.439
as I didn't want to fucking watch
something about basically reading. I definitely

1071
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:36.840
remember time in my life where I'm
like, wait a minute, so libraries

1072
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:41.000
are like best buy now Yeah,
oh yeah, I was, Oh my

1073
01:14:41.079 --> 01:14:43.800
god, are you kidding me?
The at the time, the uh,

1074
01:14:44.399 --> 01:14:50.880
the the Amherst Town Library in twenty
twenty twenty twenty one was the uh,

1075
01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:58.720
the original uh place, you know, kind of the original hotspot for under

1076
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:02.479
the cinemat. Oh, I'd get
all the fucking movies there, like if

1077
01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:05.840
I when I when I found I
basically go in there with my list and

1078
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:10.439
just see what they had from my
list. That was that I could that

1079
01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:14.520
I could uh uh you know,
borrow and rip. Wow, really I

1080
01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:15.600
didn't know that. Yep, yep, I'd do that. I would go

1081
01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:19.640
in there and uh yeah. I
tried to just grab as much as I

1082
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:25.640
could, just about everything or not. They did a lot. They had

1083
01:15:25.680 --> 01:15:30.720
a good selection, certainly more of
like you know, more current stuff and

1084
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:33.159
you had to do a physical DVD
home, right, that's what they were

1085
01:15:33.159 --> 01:15:35.359
offering. Yeah. Yeah, at
the time, it was it was that

1086
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:40.720
and you know, then you find
your ways around all that stuff. Brother,

1087
01:15:40.920 --> 01:15:45.479
go on, brother, what uh? What my parents told us about

1088
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:48.840
Hull Cogan was when he came on
the screen of Rocky three. You hadn't

1089
01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:53.720
seen me won that big on TV
before. To them, still oone seemed

1090
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:58.720
huge, but seeing Hogan towering over
him had them and everyone they knew awestruck.

1091
01:15:58.960 --> 01:16:01.319
Well, to forget about the apple
box he was standing on. Well,

1092
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:03.039
yeah, that's the thing. That's
why it was such a stroke of

1093
01:16:03.079 --> 01:16:06.279
genius, because not only is hulkogan
and taller than Rocky, but they realize

1094
01:16:08.079 --> 01:16:10.479
that if we made it even that
much taller than were still alone, it

1095
01:16:10.520 --> 01:16:14.039
would be legendary. That was such
a stroke of genius. How many people

1096
01:16:14.079 --> 01:16:16.439
did we hear from and have heard
from over the years that said that that

1097
01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:19.520
was the thing about Hogan and Rocky
three is how much taller he was.

1098
01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:23.279
It wasn't just the muscles, it
was how much taller he was. Yeah,

1099
01:16:23.279 --> 01:16:28.119
because it made him seem like completely
huge, like a giant, as

1100
01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:34.600
opposed to just you know, Hogan, Yeah, ripped up and my dad,

1101
01:16:34.680 --> 01:16:39.520
whether he wants to admit it or
not, it's clearly a closet hulkamaniac.

1102
01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:43.119
I love when you all talk Hogan
knows best in his first book because

1103
01:16:43.159 --> 01:16:49.600
I can remember coming home from college
and finding my dad watching this reality show

1104
01:16:49.640 --> 01:16:54.199
with Hogan I didn't know about because
I was lapsed from the product at the

1105
01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:57.680
time. As I was I was
in college. When you read the book.

1106
01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:00.800
When you read the book, it
takes me back to my dad telling

1107
01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:05.039
me everything he learned about the Hulkster
when I'd call home from college. Recently,

1108
01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:09.000
un a visit home, we watched
the AA and documentary on WrestleMania one

1109
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:13.079
uh uh, and it was great
to hear my parents talk about early MTV.

1110
01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:16.079
A couple of other quick Hogan thoughts. Number one, as it is

1111
01:17:16.399 --> 01:17:21.239
lapsed x TLFX and Hogan. It's
finally time to tell you about the artsy

1112
01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:29.960
girl I dated in college who claimed
to see people's aura and said she couldn't

1113
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:34.880
see the colors red and yellow together. Brother, that's concerning. I'm very

1114
01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:38.159
concerned. That's what do you What
do you mean? What do you mean?

1115
01:17:38.239 --> 01:17:40.920
Do when you say when you say
when you say together, what does

1116
01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:43.119
that mean? Dude? He's saying
like I were all red or I were

1117
01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:45.800
all yellow or what's brother? I
just need to know exactly what it is,

1118
01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:50.479
what's going on? That's that's my
question because I'm feeling wait for an

1119
01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:54.880
answer, and you're standing. I've
asked you the question about five times already,

1120
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:56.960
dude, and you're sitting there saying, I don't know Hulk. I

1121
01:17:57.000 --> 01:17:59.439
don't know Hulk. I don't know
Hulk. And I'm wondering exactly what it

1122
01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:02.119
is you don't Oh right, what
do you know? What? What can

1123
01:18:02.199 --> 01:18:03.800
we talk about? What you do
know? Maybe I didn't think so,

1124
01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:05.680
Bro, I know more than you
do, you know more than me?

1125
01:18:06.039 --> 01:18:09.560
Where are we? Dude? We're
going to separate red and yellow now?

1126
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:12.960
I mean I thought this was America, brother, I thought those were primary

1127
01:18:13.000 --> 01:18:16.479
colors. Dude, woman, you
can't see him together. Dude, I

1128
01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:19.039
can't see these colors together. I'm
not a racist, dude, I never

1129
01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:23.319
have been. I am not a
racist. Do you have against red and

1130
01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:28.319
yellow being together? Brother? Dude? What who my wiretap right now?

1131
01:18:28.399 --> 01:18:32.880
Dude? Are you going to release
this tape in twelve years? Dude?

1132
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:39.039
Brother? Are you recording this call? Dude? Okay, now I finally

1133
01:18:39.079 --> 01:18:42.640
have the title of my Hoogan biography. Are you recording this call? Dude?

1134
01:18:45.319 --> 01:18:46.520
It's kind of like guess who's coming
to dinner? Yes, yep,

1135
01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:56.479
yep. Are you recording this call? Dude? Absolutely? Uh two.

1136
01:18:56.560 --> 01:18:59.600
I'd love to hear the Hulkster listen
to the song this is It by Kenny

1137
01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:02.680
Logger and Michael McDonald and get more
and more paranoid as he listens to the

1138
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:06.079
lyrics. That sounds like, that's
not like a Cameo thing to me.

1139
01:19:08.439 --> 01:19:14.920
Good you go to the het so
you sweat it out on stage? Do

1140
01:19:15.079 --> 01:19:18.279
it a live lap ju the people? It's no, it is not,

1141
01:19:18.600 --> 01:19:24.359
it is not. Tell him tell
about Cameo you've been absolutely yeah. We

1142
01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:26.960
had a couple of good ones here
at cameo dot Com. Slash laps fan

1143
01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:32.319
just we just had one. Go. Oh, they should probably post it,

1144
01:19:32.359 --> 01:19:36.760
actually post a link to it on
on Twitter. Uh. The the

1145
01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:42.760
call a bit on the call the
uh, someone asked to do the uh

1146
01:19:43.279 --> 01:19:53.000
what the the newsroom meeting was before
WrestleMania x L in Philadelphia? And what

1147
01:19:54.159 --> 01:19:57.960
is of the paper? Yeah?
And what it is that? He?

1148
01:19:58.239 --> 01:20:00.640
Uh? You know what the editor
told the people there? And so it

1149
01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:05.640
was. It was quite funny.
It was pretty fucking funny. I won't

1150
01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:11.600
lie. That really fucking had me. Uh And yeah, you know,

1151
01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:15.079
listen, a lot of a lot
of things were revealed. I'll say that

1152
01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:18.600
a lot of things were revealed,
so well, we'll post it. But

1153
01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:21.880
I would say this Hogan thing paranoid
of a song, that's definitely a cameo

1154
01:20:23.000 --> 01:20:26.760
thing. So let's do it.
Yeah, a little more for a little

1155
01:20:26.800 --> 01:20:30.520
more selective about those things. Indeed. Okay, thank you very much for

1156
01:20:30.520 --> 01:20:31.960
the pledge. We love it.
I appreciate the cake. Matt writes,

1157
01:20:32.680 --> 01:20:35.159
I was in a rack for Royal
Rumble two thousand and eight. WHOA,

1158
01:20:36.439 --> 01:20:39.479
my dearest co chairman. I would
like to start by giving you all the

1159
01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:42.520
credit that is deserved for the lapsed
funk your workdor in that series was second

1160
01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:45.600
to none and will never be duplicated. One more quick false start. I

1161
01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:47.960
recently finished my second or third Listen
to the Momentable Tragedy after watching The Iron

1162
01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:51.159
Claw and once again absolutely unbelievable work
there as well. That movie. Can't

1163
01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:55.439
hild a candle to what you all
uncovered as the truth. Now for the

1164
01:20:55.479 --> 01:20:58.439
actual subject of my email. In
January twenty oh eight, I was deployed

1165
01:20:58.439 --> 01:21:00.840
to the tour Rock with the US
Army. We deployed No. December oh

1166
01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:02.720
seven, the day after Armageddon,
when Orton won the title twice at one

1167
01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:08.520
night. The fact that you remember, Oh my god, I'm I'm I

1168
01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:12.079
feel bad, feel awful for you, sir. In a rock the pay

1169
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:15.119
per views would started like two AM, and because I'm a lifelong degenerate wrestling

1170
01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:17.239
fan, I was up and loading
up the thenww dot com pay per view

1171
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:21.640
stream. Oh my god, you
imagine in a rack on the stream the

1172
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:25.279
Internet. In racks, you might
expect what'sing exactly great, So the stream

1173
01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:29.439
wasn't crisp before it settled my need
for the show. I'm sitting outside my

1174
01:21:29.479 --> 01:21:31.840
housing unit, freezing my balls off, watching fake sports while un deployment.

1175
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:36.359
The shame. I remember the show
not being much for me overall until the

1176
01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:40.119
rumble. Having kept up with the
Week tw week online, I fully expect

1177
01:21:40.119 --> 01:21:42.319
a triple H to win, that
is until number thirty. Now. I'm

1178
01:21:42.319 --> 01:21:44.720
a twenty five year old man at
the time and have known the dirty truth

1179
01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:46.279
about wrestling for most of my life. But when Sina came out, I

1180
01:21:46.359 --> 01:21:49.439
had to remind myself it was almost
five am and no one else cared.

1181
01:21:49.560 --> 01:21:54.640
That's right. Ye'll be careful out
there. Yep. It was obviously a

1182
01:21:54.720 --> 01:21:57.640
huge shock and made the show.
While I'm sure most of the emails you

1183
01:21:57.720 --> 01:22:00.359
get will have similar themes, overall, just wanted to give you a different

1184
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:01.760
viewpoint. Continue to love the work. Thank you for seeing them. Ania.

1185
01:22:01.880 --> 01:22:04.560
That's yeah, that's amazing. You
know they talk about being on the

1186
01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:08.560
Armed Forces Network and everything, and
oh yeah, you never think about people

1187
01:22:08.600 --> 01:22:12.359
in military installations across the world watching
wrestling. Oh god, no, I

1188
01:22:12.439 --> 01:22:15.279
mean, like that's the thing,
Like you never really thought about people doing

1189
01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:20.159
that and what you know, or
more importantly, how embarrassing it would be

1190
01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:25.119
to do that. Absolutely get caught
by, you know, some of your

1191
01:22:25.800 --> 01:22:28.800
fellow soldiers and like they're like,
what the Fuck's wrong with you? What

1192
01:22:28.840 --> 01:22:30.720
are you doing? Ok? You
watch it? Can you tell me you

1193
01:22:30.800 --> 01:22:32.720
watch this? Fucking shit? What
do you think? The war's fake?

1194
01:22:32.800 --> 01:22:36.119
Too? Just hovered watching a stream
like at the way in the morning,

1195
01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:44.560
complete immediate accusation, absolutely going right
to fucking wait you watch wrestling? Do

1196
01:22:44.560 --> 01:22:45.920
you think? Do you think what
we do here is fake? Oh?

1197
01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:49.000
My god? Being deployed is fake? You? The war's fake? Right

1198
01:22:49.600 --> 01:22:53.640
determined? How can I trust you
to have my back when the ship goes

1199
01:22:53.720 --> 01:23:00.479
down? A real shooting from fake
shooting? Fuck her? So our man

1200
01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:02.079
Brian, longtime supporter. We'd love
to have him the Solar System. Was

1201
01:23:02.119 --> 01:23:06.720
great to see him front row in
Philly. Damn straight coming out sports cause

1202
01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:10.119
yeah, some Strailia bag. Since
we were last with you this one.

1203
01:23:10.199 --> 01:23:13.439
I'll also take a deep breath and
a swig of water. This one he's

1204
01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:24.760
calling the second annual Motor Mega mail
Bag. Oh shit, make movies,

1205
01:23:28.399 --> 01:23:31.000
Hello, CoA Chairs, you topped
yourselves again in twenty twenty three. I'll

1206
01:23:31.039 --> 01:23:36.840
save my larger thoughts on the show
for lapstacks Jesus Christ. For now,

1207
01:23:36.960 --> 01:23:43.079
I'm just sending you my very not
brief thoughts on some of the funniest lines

1208
01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:46.560
in Moments from twenty twenty three,
broken down by episode category, along with

1209
01:23:46.760 --> 01:23:50.479
a few random thoughts and questions.
I hope you enjoy rereading some of your

1210
01:23:50.600 --> 01:23:55.600
lines as much as I did listening
to them. Keep in mind that this

1211
01:23:55.720 --> 01:24:00.359
email was significantly trimmed down from more
of a novel length to novella length.

1212
01:24:00.840 --> 01:24:02.960
Yeah, this is the level of
interest and passion that you two inspire.

1213
01:24:03.479 --> 01:24:06.039
Jack can read the first few sections
and JP can read the end of the

1214
01:24:06.079 --> 01:24:11.720
cinemat and Wrestle Mammy as sections,
Oh Boy, Sane Show tnh JP said,

1215
01:24:11.720 --> 01:24:15.399
if homicide and suicide could team up, you would have pushed that up.

1216
01:24:18.039 --> 01:24:23.479
It's true. Jack came up with
the phrase extract, transform and larry

1217
01:24:23.520 --> 01:24:32.319
it laps, Hogan said to Dixie, can we talk Terry brother? Jack

1218
01:24:32.399 --> 01:24:38.920
accidentally said Brooke Hogan broke Hogan brook, Well, that's true too. Actually

1219
01:24:38.920 --> 01:24:43.119
it's not. I it's not wrong, which would perfectly describe Hulk if not

1220
01:24:43.199 --> 01:24:45.439
for the Gawker Laws. It Indeed, j JP, by episode two of

1221
01:24:45.479 --> 01:24:47.880
T and H sound that is despondent, as he did by the end of

1222
01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:54.439
the World Class Journey lapsed. Vince. We are looking to efficiently socialize the

1223
01:24:54.520 --> 01:25:00.680
actionable and degree we are looking to
efficiently soci the action of olyndic race.

1224
01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:04.239
So actually don't mind doing that?
Can we get that on the on the

1225
01:25:04.279 --> 01:25:12.479
to do list? Please to efficiently
socialized actionable innovationally and then the next next

1226
01:25:12.520 --> 01:25:17.119
phase of evolution in the w E
followed by w w E action zone creates

1227
01:25:17.159 --> 01:25:25.960
diversity and boils the ocean. Yes, Jack referred to Linda Hogan as our

1228
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:29.359
hell in heart for T and H
does that mean Nick Hogan is Bruce brother?

1229
01:25:30.119 --> 01:25:32.760
JP revealed in college he bought San
Fernando Jones and the Temple is King

1230
01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:44.600
I did. I did my first
ABYSS, my first fucking porn tape.

1231
01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:47.359
I bought that like my first weekend
at ned Emerson. I went down there

1232
01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:50.640
was like a the used to be
there, used to be a uh there

1233
01:25:50.720 --> 01:25:54.079
was like an adult video shop like
right behind, and I was like,

1234
01:25:54.119 --> 01:25:59.119
oh, there on my own,
I'm gonna go buy a porn. Yeah.

1235
01:25:59.119 --> 01:26:02.359
It wasn't good at internet. Wasn't
good enough too, surely not to

1236
01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:08.960
get fucking Indiana Jones based porn.
During a discussion about abyss and business,

1237
01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:17.279
Jack said they are stakeholders that s
T E a k and the end of

1238
01:26:17.439 --> 01:26:21.000
part one of Teenage episode seven might
be the hardest I've ever heard Jack laugh.

1239
01:26:21.159 --> 01:26:25.880
JP had played various audio clips,
had mixed in the sound of repeated

1240
01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:38.720
shots he started mixing and Dixie over
the top of various clips, Jack the

1241
01:26:39.119 --> 01:26:44.119
immaterial llog, I don't remember that
at all. Lap's O gonna ask Bischoff

1242
01:26:44.119 --> 01:26:48.720
if he wants to take a whack
with Brooks. Did you want to take

1243
01:26:48.720 --> 01:26:54.720
a whack with these? Dude?
Just hit him? Brother Jack or JP

1244
01:26:54.920 --> 01:27:00.840
came up with six tape sex tapes
and aces Bishoff name drop Tom Beers who

1245
01:27:00.920 --> 01:27:04.279
bought me because my brother worked for
Tom for years. That was a big

1246
01:27:04.399 --> 01:27:08.319
name drop for Bischoff. Just shows
how much of a nothing in Hollywood he

1247
01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:14.079
is, always has been, always
will be. Now out of the bunkhouse

1248
01:27:14.119 --> 01:27:17.119
stampede. During a union riff,
someone says, we know you want Hawk

1249
01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:31.840
to prevail, but the only thing
that will prevail is wages. Excellent,

1250
01:27:31.880 --> 01:27:35.680
He writes, Oh my god.

01:27:47.720 --> 01:27:51.279
Made his first reference of the night
to the Sooner as Jack said sooner or

1253
01:27:51.399 --> 01:27:58.479
later actually an hour, laters,
Oh my god. Yes. During a

1254
01:27:58.520 --> 01:28:01.680
riff on Dusty covering up for eels
being cheered resulted in one of you saying

1255
01:28:01.720 --> 01:28:05.720
we have no idea who our fans
will cheer for, and w c W

1256
01:28:05.960 --> 01:28:13.920
we have no idea. You discussed
Dusty going to an in and out and

1257
01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:19.079
note that animal style means the hamburger
has growed onions. One of you mentioned

1258
01:28:19.199 --> 01:28:48.319
Rang. Then JP asked about Smack
and Jack Jack asked about two five live

1259
01:28:55.439 --> 01:29:05.560
oh Shire too much? Oh my
god, christ Brian writes Mendez a discussion

1260
01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:10.520
about Nikita Coloff in the Middle East

01:29:10.880 --> 01:29:26.119
c CCP stands for a cock Jock
said, Jack said Jack, are you

1262
01:29:26.279 --> 01:29:43.600
really miss Jack? Jack said,
daped fistmatch. I thought it was lying.

1263
01:29:43.840 --> 01:29:56.199
Oh fuck me. I guess it
was a good year. Ay w

1264
01:29:56.359 --> 01:30:00.279
revolution. Jack said the young books
associated with Recida for p W, but

1265
01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:06.039
the only receded now is their hairlines. In response to the commentary line the

1266
01:30:06.119 --> 01:30:17.000
body shuts down to protect the liver, Jack gasked about what about the it's

1267
01:30:17.039 --> 01:30:23.760
a pat for that matter? Yeah, lapsed funk. During a discussion on

1268
01:30:23.960 --> 01:30:28.079
a e F American Expeditionary Force.
Yeah, because that's what Doys Senior was

1269
01:30:28.119 --> 01:30:38.479
in. JP guessed it to Frau
Fakers. JP said Dusty came from Hamburg

1270
01:30:38.560 --> 01:30:44.760
and Frankfurt. Oh, that was
great. Jack then said he was on

1271
01:30:44.840 --> 01:30:57.960
the Hidden Valley Ranch. This isn't
you know, this isn't fun. Are

1272
01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:01.439

so bad? In the spirit of Dornce

1273
01:31:01.479 --> 01:31:16.479
Funk you coined Corance Graves, Torrance
Wilson, Codence Roadwance Culkin. Talk about

1274
01:31:16.600 --> 01:31:20.800
Terry's grandfather being a policeman led to
Jack saying Dori Senior was also a cop

1275
01:31:21.199 --> 01:31:25.800
because he could because he could shoot
on people. Trying to expose the business

1276
01:31:29.840 --> 01:31:34.039
laps Funk Japan. Talking about Terry
ordering food in Japan, laps Terry said,

1277
01:31:34.079 --> 01:31:36.760
you order a dish and you might
get something else, And Jack said,

1278
01:31:38.039 --> 01:31:46.880
you order a dish and the cable
company comes. You know, I

1279
01:31:46.960 --> 01:31:49.039
saw I went to a restaurant,
I ordered a dish, and all of

1280
01:31:49.119 --> 01:31:54.960
a sudden, I had cable TV. I on a head and change the

1281
01:31:55.079 --> 01:32:00.239
channel. Mail bag. JP read
an email where I just about Tom Savini.

1282
01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:03.880
JP explained to Jack that he looks
like the horny guy, before remembering

1283
01:32:03.920 --> 01:32:08.680
he was thinking of Lee Marshall hilarious
called back to the start KD the mayor

1284
01:32:08.800 --> 01:32:15.880
did the horny guy funk laps,
Terry said, I didn't say I'd never

1285
01:32:15.880 --> 01:32:23.319
wrestle again. I said I'd never
wrestle again. Jack then said, I

1286
01:32:23.359 --> 01:32:32.319
guess it depends on where you put
the com up like ware Oh, hilarious.

1287
01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:35.800
During a discussion about the Brisco,
someone said, don't you know grammar?

1288
01:32:36.119 --> 01:32:41.279
Then the other CoA chair said she
died before I was born. Dory

1289
01:32:41.359 --> 01:32:47.880
Junior was described as being significantly sweaty
in the nether regions. I mean it's

1290
01:32:48.000 --> 01:32:53.920
very true, you know, sometimes
I can't control the liquor. Thanks Tory

1291
01:32:54.479 --> 01:33:02.079
that liquid. He said, there's
a there's an immense amount of condensation that

1292
01:33:02.199 --> 01:33:15.279
happens underneath my my jockey shorts and
other reflections. Last laps, Jack Criscal

1293
01:33:15.399 --> 01:33:21.640
said, the thing about pancakes is
sometimes I forget who I am. That's

1294
01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:30.920
not fair to you. That one
that's that's one of your favorite t l

1295
01:33:31.039 --> 01:33:36.079
f X. Fucking you get what's
good? What's really good? What it

1296
01:33:36.199 --> 01:33:46.840
do? Idiot Jack briscol JP and
Jack Briscal. He looks like he can

1297
01:33:46.880 --> 01:33:53.279
go all around and still not know
what's coming, followed by Jack. You

1298
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:57.520
can say that again, JP said, Jackie, you get it all the

1299
01:33:57.560 --> 01:34:01.119
way around. And I'd say,
said Jack Briscoe will forever make me think

1300
01:34:01.159 --> 01:34:06.920
of SAP, and Jack said,
I will forever hear his maple syrup voice.

1301
01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:17.439
JP described Jack Briscoe as the Eli
Manning of laps Funk Dusty laps Terry.

1302
01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:19.359
I want ahead, and I want
ahead, and I want ahead.

1303
01:34:19.399 --> 01:34:25.880
Then Jack asked, is this Millie
Vanilli? Jack described Dorry is looking as

1304
01:34:25.960 --> 01:34:30.560
comatose and down syndrome as ever.
That was wrong, I said that.

1305
01:34:31.880 --> 01:34:35.720
JP said Dorr's hair is a real
problem and he looks like the pro over.

1306
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:54.720
You say someone's hairror is a real
lapsed funk Lawler. During the two

1307
01:34:54.720 --> 01:35:01.439
thousand and three Funk Lawler, Matt
Jack said Lawler goes unmolested. I did

1308
01:35:01.560 --> 01:35:08.439
say the same for some of his
girlfriends. Laps Funk Hogan, someone called

1309
01:35:09.199 --> 01:35:18.119
someone coined double cross ranch dressing Lapstogan
said the lapsed funk Terry leading to laps

1310
01:35:18.199 --> 01:35:21.039
Funk. I don't know if you
were saying double or I'm saying single.

1311
01:35:24.319 --> 01:35:29.159
Oh, you had an amazing refund
Bunk looking up Hogan in the phone book,

1312
01:35:29.239 --> 01:35:31.279
las Funk said, I was gonna. I was looking at ats for

1313
01:35:31.359 --> 01:35:35.800
Hogan. Then I realized this your
real last name. And I tried teas

1314
01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:44.199
for Terry. Then realized it is
not that I called every Terry in the

1315
01:35:44.439 --> 01:36:04.239
phone book. Hm hmm water.
I really can't. Oh god, mh.

1316
01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:10.840
I'm gonna drink some prime, getting
fucking Christy. You're gonna get prime

1317
01:36:10.920 --> 01:36:15.600
for this chip. Oh, mother
of God. I'd ask if the person

1318
01:36:15.720 --> 01:36:19.000
is Terry the wrestler. When they'd
say no, I think, well he

1319
01:36:19.119 --> 01:36:26.399
is paranoid to it kid him.
Jack then said Hogan's biopic should be Terry

1320
01:36:26.479 --> 01:36:31.680
the Wrestler. Jack, as Funk
said, I called the police and a

1321
01:36:31.800 --> 01:36:39.039
sting picked up. I say,
Hey, is this Terry the wrestler?

1322
01:36:39.720 --> 01:36:43.560
Hey, is Terry there? Yeah? This is this is she? Are

1323
01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:47.039
you Terry the Wrestler? No?
Oh, sorry, I'll call you back.

1324
01:36:48.680 --> 01:36:54.680
I'll call you back. Look,
there's still more to be done here,

1325
01:36:54.760 --> 01:37:00.159
but for now I can't prioritize him. I'll call you back. Other

01:37:00.399 --> 01:37:04.960
unwrapping a chat GPD story involving Virgil
created the term spaghetti wrestling. Oh God,

1327
01:37:05.680 --> 01:37:10.239
Jesus Christ. Jack then clamored for
a spaghetti wrestling shirt with a ring

1328
01:37:10.319 --> 01:37:13.399
made out of linguini and a tomato
stain on it. Has this been made

1329
01:37:13.439 --> 01:37:15.680
of shirt? And yet I don't
believe it has that one. I guess

1330
01:37:16.359 --> 01:37:21.720
Christmas Chat gpt Vince. What we're
principally engaged in is the transfer of digital

1331
01:37:21.800 --> 01:37:26.159
files, which led to laps Vince
dating. And I'd rather have an r

1332
01:37:26.159 --> 01:37:30.800
O I than an r O H
fucking hilarious. I had a random thought

1333
01:37:30.840 --> 01:37:32.880
during Lapsed Funk can lapse Terry say, goozle me to ketch it a,

1334
01:37:34.760 --> 01:37:42.279
gozele me to cash it. I
had I gotta take Asheta as well.

1335
01:37:42.319 --> 01:37:46.079
After the damn match went ahead and
took Ashida. I had the fortune of

1336
01:37:46.119 --> 01:37:48.760
seeing JP live and King of the
Jews. The show was great and JP

1337
01:37:48.960 --> 01:37:51.840
was fantastic. JP was directly in
front of me at points with his back

1338
01:37:51.880 --> 01:37:55.560
turn to me. I can only
imagine Hoping literally quaking, and I don't

1339
01:37:55.560 --> 01:37:58.479
mean tenta in his boots if he
was performing that setup. There was a

1340
01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:00.359
line in the play about Jewish names
into Horowitz. I felt like I was

1341
01:38:00.399 --> 01:38:08.199
listening to Jack of a ninety five
issue of the Observer. That's good one

1342
01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:12.479
more for me live calls rollin versus
Baller, money in the bank, catchiatory

1343
01:38:12.520 --> 01:38:18.199
Shabbata was coined. It was commentary
said Damian Priest is a significant threat.

1344
01:38:18.279 --> 01:38:24.279
JP said all prices are a threat, or at least wait a minute,

1345
01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:27.800
at least like what was the I
forget what the percentage was and in spotlight,

1346
01:38:28.640 --> 01:38:32.239
Oh yeah, whatever it was,
I forgot to eighty ninety Oscar Bianca

1347
01:38:32.359 --> 01:38:35.479
running the bank. There was a
discussion about Paul Hayman's wait for some reason.

1348
01:38:35.560 --> 01:38:41.960
Jack said Cody is the only person
who needs more weight aid A than

1349
01:38:42.039 --> 01:38:46.359
JP said he has an infinite weight. Oh my god, trash Trish versus

1350
01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:50.319
Becky from Payback. Someone said Becky's
twist of fate was a tribute to lead

1351
01:38:50.359 --> 01:38:54.760
her. Then the other co host
said she is familiar with the leaders being

1352
01:38:54.840 --> 01:39:02.039
a pier. Oh god, ray
theory. Somehow a riff resulted in the

1353
01:39:02.079 --> 01:39:13.760
coach chairs imagining if WW had debuted
road as Ol mysterio or or Bob mister

1354
01:39:15.359 --> 01:39:19.319
Usso's backlash. Someone said they were
victims of a one dimensional program, and

1355
01:39:19.399 --> 01:39:24.399
the other co chairs said the USO's
finisher is a one dimensional finisher for a

1356
01:39:24.439 --> 01:39:30.520
one dimensional entertainment property and most importantly, one dimensional entertainment ode is what Endeavor

1357
01:39:30.600 --> 01:39:35.920
bought Becky Zoe Stark. JP described
Zoe Stark by saying her forehead keeps golden

1358
01:39:36.039 --> 01:39:43.159
going. Cody Brock SummerSlam. While
talking about Cody taking Suplex's Jack said,

1359
01:39:43.399 --> 01:39:46.000
if we are talking about brand integration, this should be brought to you by

1360
01:39:46.079 --> 01:39:51.880
Salesforce. At the end, there
was a discussion about rebuilding Cody, and

1361
01:39:51.960 --> 01:39:56.600
JP said they'll never rebuild the Twin
Towers and they'll never rebuild Cody Roads.

1362
01:39:56.800 --> 01:39:59.279
Hey, you know what I will
admit when I'm wrong about one thing.

1363
01:39:59.319 --> 01:40:02.800
Man, They did rebuild the Twin
Towers. Oh shit, boo, oh

1364
01:40:02.920 --> 01:40:06.199
shit. Charlotte Riea. Jack said, of course Charlotte is entitled. She

1365
01:40:06.359 --> 01:40:14.399
is the SmackDown champion. Puts to
deation. How many times has she been

1366
01:40:14.600 --> 01:40:19.760
entitled? Cody fast laying tag the
co chairs had the autumn feeling that's a

1367
01:40:19.800 --> 01:40:26.000
good move to have. In October, a gordbuster Jack called the series of

1368
01:40:26.079 --> 01:40:32.119
roll ups, prompting a perfectly timed
browler. Cody priest Crown Jewel put a

1369
01:40:32.199 --> 01:40:36.720
fork in him. He's JD McDonald
oh Rollin's Drew crownjewel. There was a

1370
01:40:36.760 --> 01:40:41.039
discussion about Vince calling Saudi Arabia our
home, which led to one of the

1371
01:40:41.079 --> 01:40:48.720
CoA chairs coming up with sand Martin
seen a solo Crown jewel. JP hated

1372
01:40:48.760 --> 01:40:53.760
seen his hair and kept repeating over
and overlooking him, It's so true.

1373
01:40:54.039 --> 01:40:58.319
You were trying to keep his hat
on. It may and then when the

1374
01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:00.840
hat came off, how many times
did he slick his hair back after putting

1375
01:41:00.880 --> 01:41:06.720
solos? He knew his hair is
just completely out of control, and you

1376
01:41:06.800 --> 01:41:11.239
know, like, honestly, he
should go out there. They should.

1377
01:41:11.279 --> 01:41:14.159
Someone should fucking spray paint that bald
spot, all right. It's not that

1378
01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:16.800
hard to spray paint it, right, I mean it's would have done the

1379
01:41:16.840 --> 01:41:19.479
trick. Oh. Instead, he's
growing it as long as he can,

1380
01:41:19.720 --> 01:41:21.840
and it's just it looks trying to
get the hair from the front to cover

1381
01:41:21.920 --> 01:41:25.119
the bald spot in the back by
slicking it back. I know he's doing.

1382
01:41:25.239 --> 01:41:29.319
He's doing like a very an awful
comb over. And it's just like

1383
01:41:29.920 --> 01:41:32.560
it gets worse because his hair is
so thin. The longer it gets,

1384
01:41:32.720 --> 01:41:38.880
the more the more like non committal. His hair is right, It's so

1385
01:41:39.079 --> 01:41:43.800
true, it's not it's not with
him all the way to the end Women's

1386
01:41:43.840 --> 01:41:46.079
War Games. When Becky was bleeding, JP said she had juice. Jack

1387
01:41:46.159 --> 01:41:49.800
said about juice just waiting till Randy
Orton and the Men's war zones hilarious.

1388
01:41:51.159 --> 01:41:54.720
Randy's nex certainly didn't look like a
stack of nimes. That night, when

1389
01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:57.319
EO put on a trash can,
one of you dubbed her the idiot of

1390
01:41:57.399 --> 01:42:05.079
the sky, one of my favorite
nicknames, idiot. I pretty proud that

1391
01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:11.000
was good. Yeah, Roman J
SummerSlam. I don't remember the context at

1392
01:42:11.000 --> 01:42:15.000
all, but JP said Roman was
soaking in the genitalia of reality. What

1393
01:42:15.119 --> 01:42:18.920
a hilarious use of playing or I
had some very bizarre autogorrect on my phone.

1394
01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:23.600
I think JP was just coming up
with magic. If it was Roman

1395
01:42:23.720 --> 01:42:26.640
J, that means it was the
main event, and likely I was inebriated,

1396
01:42:28.000 --> 01:42:32.680
so very it's very it's very possible
that I did say that Sammy Roman.

1397
01:42:32.800 --> 01:42:43.159
JP was annoyed with new beverige On
Smith Ever announcing him as Roman horangeman.

1398
01:42:43.800 --> 01:42:47.319
Hooray. JP said, that is
what you go to court for,

1399
01:42:47.520 --> 01:42:54.880
a horrange utc. It's all you
I get to take a break, all

1400
01:42:54.960 --> 01:42:58.079
right, all right, here's some
of my favorite lines and a few questions

1401
01:42:58.159 --> 01:43:01.319
comments about eligibility for UTC. Scream
three j P played a clip from a

1402
01:43:01.439 --> 01:43:05.079
ne F Campbell interview where she said
she didn't have a body double because there

1403
01:43:05.199 --> 01:43:10.319
was no nuty except quote, I
only showed my back and we've all seen

1404
01:43:10.399 --> 01:43:17.399
them laps get im erupted. Brother. There was an extended ogan riff uh

1405
01:43:20.840 --> 01:43:26.000
where he said, who's back?
Nobody told me about exposing back? Brother,

1406
01:43:26.279 --> 01:43:29.079
I'll show my fucking cock. What
are you exposing my back to?

1407
01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:33.920
Jack said to everyone behind you laps
so gonna who's gonna roll me up?

1408
01:43:33.960 --> 01:43:39.560
Brother? What a delightful detour from
a standard breslam from a movie and noan

1409
01:43:39.640 --> 01:43:45.520
fumpman in Roadhouse, JP played a
Terry Funk song about Barbarestreuisen's nose which uh,

1410
01:43:46.239 --> 01:43:49.600
which contained a line about Liberachi smiled. That made me wonder if Liberaci's

1411
01:43:49.600 --> 01:43:57.600
appearance at the initial Wrestlmanium makes him
eligible for UTC. Possibly. I mean,

1412
01:43:57.640 --> 01:44:00.880
it is pretty it's one of those
legendary moments. It's it was possible.

1413
01:44:00.000 --> 01:44:03.560
Yeah, I'm not opposed to it. If a celebrity appearance in wrestling

1414
01:44:03.640 --> 01:44:08.800
counts that that one does. Yeah, yeah, I mean especially for that,

1415
01:44:08.920 --> 01:44:11.319
I mean it was such a you
know, I would I would almost

1416
01:44:12.000 --> 01:44:16.680
I would pretty much say that anyone
who appeared at WrestleMania one kind of has

1417
01:44:16.760 --> 01:44:20.159
an automatic celebrity, right, you
know, has an automatic in with that.

1418
01:44:23.479 --> 01:44:27.680
So, yes, Labaracci would would, which I don't think I'll take

1419
01:44:27.720 --> 01:44:29.960
a look at that now, because
I would love I would love forty five

1420
01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:33.039
minutes on how his appearance at WrestleMania
game together. Yeah right, yeah,

1421
01:44:33.159 --> 01:44:36.960
seriously, Bob Bucher is in the
Hall of Fame, so I believe major

1422
01:44:38.079 --> 01:44:42.159
League, Yes, major League is
eligible for the Seibor movies. Bob Bucker

1423
01:44:42.319 --> 01:44:46.359
is all Bob Yucker stuff. Is
Michael Buffer eligible? Yeah, absolutely,

1424
01:44:46.399 --> 01:44:50.159
he is, absolutely so I assume
so based on his recent coverage in the

1425
01:44:50.279 --> 01:44:55.279
Rady Rumball episode. He has an
extensive filmography, including Harlem Knights with Eddie

1426
01:44:55.359 --> 01:44:57.880
Murphy. I was actually good Light. Yes, Paul Walter Hauser, Yes,

1427
01:44:57.960 --> 01:45:00.600
has eaten a guitar, Shart and
agent. Actually now, especially now,

1428
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:02.479
I mean, listen, anyone,
anyone who wears a fucking t L

1429
01:45:02.520 --> 01:45:08.359
left shirt in the ring gets an
automatic fucking you know, you know,

1430
01:45:08.479 --> 01:45:15.079
immediate entry shouting and wrestling. Yeah, he qualifies the covered your jewel.

1431
01:45:15.760 --> 01:45:17.800
Yeah, I do want to do
that. And the only thing more ninety

1432
01:45:17.840 --> 01:45:21.439
six, uh, Atlanta than Ted
Turner and d c W. That's true,

1433
01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:27.960
w W W right some and it's
right there, right in the Ted

1434
01:45:28.000 --> 01:45:31.039
Turner back backyard there. That's crazy. Uh. Someone posted a clip where

1435
01:45:31.079 --> 01:45:35.479
JP talked about Robert Parrish ropes of
seamen. Actually it was you saying that,

1436
01:45:35.640 --> 01:45:40.239
but we've I've I've adopted it because
it was one of the fucking funniest

1437
01:45:40.279 --> 01:45:43.840
things I've ever heard of in my
life. This naturally made me think of

1438
01:45:44.279 --> 01:45:50.119
when you said fucking shooting ropes,
fucking extream of cum just like like a

1439
01:45:50.279 --> 01:45:59.960
like a like a yeah exactly.
This naturally made me think of basketball players.

1440
01:46:00.039 --> 01:46:02.399
I believe Shack should be No,
Absolutely, he would be eligible.

1441
01:46:02.439 --> 01:46:05.640
He's been involved in quite a bit. Blue chips eligible. Yes, Blue

1442
01:46:05.680 --> 01:46:10.079
chips will allow you to cover early
nineties Nick Nolty again, as well as

1443
01:46:10.119 --> 01:46:15.039
Celtics greats. Bob is a Kousie, I don't even know Couzi, Bob

1444
01:46:15.079 --> 01:46:18.359
Coozy and Larry Bird Shaq would also
make he a game eligible. Yep,

1445
01:46:18.359 --> 01:46:23.000
I'd say all that stuff. Oh, could Spike Lee, Rosario Dawson,

1446
01:46:23.079 --> 01:46:27.520
Celtic Great Ray Allen, and most
importantly, as we learned from Beyond the

1447
01:46:27.520 --> 01:46:33.239
Matt Newjack's friend Denzel Washington. Creed
three features both Maral Ronaldo and Todd Grisham.

1448
01:46:33.319 --> 01:46:38.760
Yes, the Qualifies air has clips
of Hogan and mister t and the

1449
01:46:38.800 --> 01:46:45.319
opening credits. Yeah, that qualifies
for sure. Is Genie Buss available for

1450
01:46:45.359 --> 01:46:46.960
you to be the owner of the
Lakers as the producer of Women of Wrestling?

1451
01:46:47.039 --> 01:46:50.720
Yes, absolutely that. She's also
prucer on The Last Man Hunt,

1452
01:46:51.279 --> 01:46:56.279
which features Oscar nominee Lily Glass.
Absolutely. Definitely someone who's someone who's behind

1453
01:46:56.319 --> 01:47:00.640
the scenes especially, I think is
important. That's why you know, Jason

1454
01:47:00.680 --> 01:47:04.439
Hervey is like a you know he's
gonna be great. Bill Murray and Groundhard

1455
01:47:04.520 --> 01:47:08.640
Day gives wrestling. Yes, I
do want to do that when that I

1456
01:47:08.840 --> 01:47:12.920
I it's definitely a long shot,
but I think it's I think it's important.

1457
01:47:13.079 --> 01:47:17.920
But he does wrestling tickets to uh
Michael Shannon and some woman and they

1458
01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:21.920
go crazy over it, which would
have been wrestling nine. Actually, I

1459
01:47:21.960 --> 01:47:27.680
believe Wow, would the movie be
I I think so. I think I

1460
01:47:27.760 --> 01:47:32.600
think mentioning WrestleMania specifically, is uh
is is important? Is Alice Cooper appearing

1461
01:47:32.600 --> 01:47:38.239
in Wrestlming You three enough to be
eligible? This would make John Carpenter's principle

1462
01:47:38.279 --> 01:47:41.720
Prince of Doctor is already on there
anyway, for another reason, Wayne's World.

1463
01:47:41.760 --> 01:47:45.479
That'd be fun. I need I
need. Jack's commentary on O'Neil's cameo

1464
01:47:45.560 --> 01:47:51.439
in Wayne's World. Nice, it's
really fucking funny. I liked that cameo

1465
01:47:51.479 --> 01:47:55.720
of his. When will Scary three? Because Serio Movie three be covered.

1466
01:47:56.039 --> 01:47:59.600
Lesie Nielsen is in it and it
has a wrestling he eleven reunion of Pan

1467
01:47:59.680 --> 01:48:02.840
and And and Jenny McCarthy. It
also features a favorite of mine and Jack,

1468
01:48:03.039 --> 01:48:08.159
George Carlin. Yeah, it'll be
there, listen, Leslie Nielsen,

1469
01:48:09.159 --> 01:48:15.079
is is is a qualification for sure
because the whole leadout Summer some Money.

1470
01:48:15.119 --> 01:48:16.479
Don't even just Summer s money before, but the whole you know, he

1471
01:48:16.640 --> 01:48:21.199
was on TV every week for like
two months. Absolutely, would Richard Belzer

1472
01:48:21.319 --> 01:48:26.000
qualify for UTC because of the incident
with Hogan. This would qualify a number

1473
01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:30.920
of movies, including Fame. I
don't think Richard Belzer would oh qualify interesting,

1474
01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:32.600
Yeah, it didn't happen. It
didn't happen in wrestling, and he

1475
01:48:32.720 --> 01:48:36.920
didn't like make an appearance with wrestling. It happened, you know, it

1476
01:48:38.000 --> 01:48:42.399
happened on his show, right right. I mean, granted, I know

1477
01:48:42.439 --> 01:48:45.479
it's a little bit different because he
yeah, because he choked him out.

1478
01:48:45.520 --> 01:48:47.880
But I don't think so because there
was there was never like a return appearance

1479
01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:53.239
on Hogan's turf. You know,
if bells that's a good point. If

1480
01:48:53.279 --> 01:48:56.279
Belser had made a return appearance,
I would say yes, but he didn't.

1481
01:48:56.520 --> 01:48:59.640
It's tough, like you're saying,
any any platform or wrestler has appeared

1482
01:48:59.680 --> 01:49:03.359
on Larry King would would qualify,
right, Yeah, no, no,

1483
01:49:03.439 --> 01:49:08.199
because it's gotta be the opposite really
because Russell here would qualify tho because they

1484
01:49:08.239 --> 01:49:15.520
mocked him on Yeah. Yeah,
interesting, maybe you wouldn't. But no,

1485
01:49:15.640 --> 01:49:16.079
it's a good point. I didn't
really think about it like that,

1486
01:49:16.239 --> 01:49:18.600
but that's actually a good point.
They did do that. That might put

1487
01:49:18.640 --> 01:49:23.600
that. I'll look into that Ghostbusters
too. JB talked about will Wilhelm vald

1488
01:49:23.640 --> 01:49:27.840
Hamburg being a butcher. In Hamburg, the coach has showed he was not

1489
01:49:27.960 --> 01:49:33.279
a butcher in jobs or anything else, just the Butcher said to Jack,

1490
01:49:33.359 --> 01:49:44.760
saying the burger in the Blade jav
Coin of burgers in blades, Oh my

1491
01:49:44.960 --> 01:49:49.199
god. Jamie described Dan Accord as
the Vince Russo. To ivant wrightman Vince

1492
01:49:49.279 --> 01:49:55.079
McMahon after discussing his terrible ideas,
you talked about Irish, Bob McKinney,

1493
01:49:55.119 --> 01:50:03.119
Jack said, you know, you
know, Bob, you know you don't

1494
01:50:03.119 --> 01:50:10.920
have to say Irish. That doesn't
distinguish you. Oh. Robert Lipside of

1495
01:50:10.960 --> 01:50:14.359
The New York Times wrote in an
article about wrestling as being quote filled with

1496
01:50:14.560 --> 01:50:20.720
smoke and the smells of linimen steam
and too many people trendous, he writes.

1497
01:50:21.279 --> 01:50:26.640
JP also read from the article about
a quote well placed hoax, leading

1498
01:50:26.760 --> 01:50:30.840
JP to say, isn't that what
wrestling is? Jack said, I don't

1499
01:50:30.880 --> 01:50:35.039
know about well placed. Then JP
dropped the quote wrestling fans have been dricked

1500
01:50:35.079 --> 01:50:42.039
again. Clip Fantastic. Ernie Hudson's
cameo had one sentence about Wilhelm, leading

1501
01:50:42.119 --> 01:50:47.359
Jack to saying he gave a bishoff
response, Oh, Jack could increasing the

1502
01:50:47.840 --> 01:50:51.640
drink clip from Michael Chapman of the
future Never No, Never, Never know.

1503
01:50:53.359 --> 01:50:58.000
Jmikin laughing was the man in the
clip. Jack said, what a

1504
01:50:58.119 --> 01:51:02.640
world, what a word salad,
This guy sucks. It's a wonderful life.

1505
01:51:02.680 --> 01:51:06.359
Jack's reaction to JP's revealed the movie
is by far the happiest I have

1506
01:51:06.479 --> 01:51:12.840
ever heard. He was even happier
than Jimmy Steward. At the end of

1507
01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:17.119
the movie, I had a similar
look on my face. I can tell

1508
01:51:17.119 --> 01:51:25.000
you bet way to go. Clarence
JV mentioned something with quote a lack of

1509
01:51:25.159 --> 01:51:31.039
taint Jacks, I'd love to see
him actress Trace Tate, and JP said

1510
01:51:31.479 --> 01:51:45.560
there was with naked midion. You
read this called freak Capra Carnie fuck and

1511
01:51:45.760 --> 01:51:50.560
said no, ladies and gentlemen before
him, before noting that Capra Fi America

1512
01:51:50.880 --> 01:52:01.199
faster than both Freak Capra ship drag
fucking Opera. During the scene where Jimmy

1513
01:52:01.239 --> 01:52:06.680
Stewart tells his daughter to continue playing
after his Outbridge said quote, it will

1514
01:52:06.720 --> 01:52:16.199
relieve me my responsibility. Oh my
god, it will relieve me of my

1515
01:52:16.359 --> 01:52:21.479
responsibility for your tears. Okay,
practically your fucking content. God damn it.

1516
01:52:25.039 --> 01:52:29.439
Wonderful movie, wonderful episode, wonderful
line from Jack Shadow Warriors too.

1517
01:52:29.479 --> 01:52:31.079
We're going back to the beginning of
the year now, JP said the arc

1518
01:52:31.199 --> 01:52:36.840
Focus Life is a series of quote
this things which brought the JACKA says,

1519
01:52:36.920 --> 01:52:48.760
opposed with sad things. Oh my
god, I mean it's supposed to be

1520
01:52:48.760 --> 01:52:51.560
Princess Bride, but it has written
Princess Bridge. I fucking love it,

1521
01:52:51.560 --> 01:52:56.600
brother, I never thought i'd here. JP. Compare William Goldman to Eric

1522
01:52:56.640 --> 01:53:00.800
Pischoff. Goldman said, quote stars
don't have friends, they have a associates

1523
01:53:00.960 --> 01:53:06.520
and serfs Lisle. You do note
this describes Hogan perfectly. Golan Goldman would

1524
01:53:06.560 --> 01:53:16.439
all Goban would always call Andre Andre
one of you coined crimp soup play and

1525
01:53:16.720 --> 01:53:27.840
there the giants, Oh my god
money. Uh. Somehow there was a

1526
01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:32.479
rough about Hogan becoming apparently lovely Crystal
becoming the champ off all the David arquette,

1527
01:53:33.000 --> 01:53:40.760
Tim, what do you do?
What are you doing? Dude?

1528
01:53:41.520 --> 01:53:47.640
Exactly? Why are you talking?
Brother? Is Billy Crystal put the belt?

1529
01:53:48.840 --> 01:53:50.760
He put the belt and Billy Crystal? Dude? What's he doing here?

1530
01:53:50.800 --> 01:53:59.800
Brother? Darry? Why are you
here for that matter? What Crystal

1531
01:54:00.479 --> 01:54:03.239
before the David? Are you give
him my strap? Terry? I'm not

1532
01:54:03.319 --> 01:54:05.960
killing anybody your strap. I don't
know why you're here. You weren't called

1533
01:54:05.960 --> 01:54:13.680
into the the building. You don't
have an office here. What do you

1534
01:54:13.760 --> 01:54:15.520
mean a Roman office? Dude,
Terry, you don't have an office.

1535
01:54:15.560 --> 01:54:18.880
You don't actually officially work for the
w W E you are a private contractor

1536
01:54:19.840 --> 01:54:30.119
Yeah, when did you do this? Dude, Terry? It's in your

1537
01:54:30.119 --> 01:54:35.279
contract. Does Billy? Does Billy
Crystal the contract? Dude? Exactly like

1538
01:54:35.560 --> 01:54:41.159
you trying to scot around this very
important Terry. Billy does have a contract

1539
01:54:41.159 --> 01:54:44.640
with the w W We're trying to
do some momentum with him. I'm trying

1540
01:54:44.680 --> 01:54:55.880
to build momentum with Billy Crystal.
What you mm hmm? Bill? You're

1541
01:54:55.880 --> 01:55:00.319
gonna build with Billy? Dude?
Is that the new slogan for the eight

1542
01:55:00.520 --> 01:55:03.720
Are we talking? We're talking building? Is that it too? Are you

1543
01:55:04.840 --> 01:55:13.439

giving him this strap at WrestleMania four?

1544
01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:31.000
Brother? Yeah? What h m

1545
01:55:31.039 --> 01:55:36.920

saying this? Brother? What I mean,

1546
01:55:38.000 --> 01:55:41.560
Darry? I don't believe you have
creative control and con in your contract?

1547
01:55:42.159 --> 01:55:47.600
What about sexual elevens of paragraphy?
Brother? Not? My contract won't

1548
01:55:47.600 --> 01:56:04.840
happen for another eight years, give
or take with Turner. So Tim White

1549
01:56:04.840 --> 01:56:15.159
described Andre lifting his leg to fart
as these the launch position, which Jack

1550
01:56:15.279 --> 01:56:24.600
loved, Jacket preferring to Mandy Patinkin
as Mandy Potenkin. Now we just need

1551
01:56:24.680 --> 01:56:30.800
the battleship Patinkin and patink In villages. Jack brought up particularly Curtis being married

1552
01:56:30.840 --> 01:56:43.319
with Christopher guests, and JAF said, imagine Titty fucking her. Jesus j

1553
01:56:44.760 --> 01:56:58.960
exactly exactly. Oh shit, this
episode, they're rereading things they've said in

1554
01:56:59.039 --> 01:57:05.520
the past and last exactly exactly,
so now you can see exactly preside adventure.

1555
01:57:05.600 --> 01:57:12.880
Jack talked about Shelley Winters and her
affairs, then said Winters is coming

1556
01:57:19.600 --> 01:57:30.000
take that Game of Thrones. Oh
God, Torry Inferno. After japing note

1557
01:57:30.039 --> 01:57:35.079
of that John Williams is the conductor
laureat for the Boston Pops. Jack said,

1558
01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:45.800
Sterne Has is the conductor lariat.
Oh, I fucking can't ten commandments

1559
01:57:45.840 --> 01:57:49.279
the coach has noted how Vince is
like Charlton Heston and will be the mill.

1560
01:57:49.640 --> 01:57:54.640
Listening to the Heston n R clips
makes me need someone to photoshop Vince

1561
01:57:54.680 --> 01:57:59.840
holding w w WEE with the text
from Heston's cold Dead hands line in Vince

1562
01:58:00.119 --> 01:58:02.960
about to push the button got it. Uh, a shark attack, a

1563
01:58:03.039 --> 01:58:09.720
riff about the obituary for a principal
secretary Mary McDonald on the tea in Boston.

1564
01:58:10.039 --> 01:58:15.840
But oh sure, this is a
good one. Man, I forgot

1565
01:58:15.880 --> 01:58:23.520
about this. Oh what is it
saying Mary mcconald's that pitture? What does

1566
01:58:23.560 --> 01:58:27.079
it say? What does it say? Well, we said we didn't.

1567
01:58:30.039 --> 01:58:45.159
We said she always smelled like yesterdays. She always smelled like yesterday's. Did

1568
01:58:45.279 --> 01:58:48.520
We played a clip of a podcast
interview with someone involved making the movie,

1569
01:58:48.600 --> 01:58:57.279
and shodcast was not a podcast.
And if you were a park parkin Oh,

1570
01:58:58.960 --> 01:59:05.199
oh god, oh shit, the
mailbag workout with Oh god, seriously,

1571
01:59:05.359 --> 01:59:11.000
it really is Marine four JP reds
are mixed metrics from Vince on an

1572
01:59:11.079 --> 01:59:15.399
investor's call. Can we get a
fixed metrics or a mixed metrics arts shirt?

1573
01:59:16.359 --> 01:59:25.359
Jack had an incredible line, Dolph
doesn't DOLP doesn't sell. He offers

1574
01:59:29.279 --> 01:59:38.800
Marine five. Someone coined the name
Marine Man Randy Savage. What I'm digging

1575
01:59:38.920 --> 01:59:43.159
that? Uh huh? Here we
go into the movies. Here I think

1576
01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:49.000
we're gonna do Marine Man, Marine
number seven, Marine Man Randy Savage,

1577
01:59:49.159 --> 01:59:57.920
coming to serve your duty. Bone
saw nos bone saw is ready for the

1578
01:59:58.079 --> 02:00:02.800
marine man last action here. During
a riff on upset locals, Jack and

1579
02:00:02.880 --> 02:00:12.880
I Pitch Squeal said my property values
unbelievable. The wrestler in two thousand and

1580
02:00:12.880 --> 02:00:15.239
eight, Mickey Rourke said about his
character, quote, I hope he dies.

1581
02:00:15.399 --> 02:00:23.520
It's the only thing going for him. After a click clock clip of

1582
02:00:23.760 --> 02:00:29.520
Roork about heaven saying quote, my
brother's over there and the girls are over

1583
02:00:29.600 --> 02:00:40.359
there, Jack responded legend alert.
Jack said he would say cunt in James

1584
02:00:40.439 --> 02:00:45.880
Linton's face. JP did the right
thing. He was shameless and getting cameos

1585
02:00:45.880 --> 02:00:47.159
from wrestlers. He said he was
a fan of Blue MIENI since the e

1586
02:00:47.239 --> 02:00:51.439
c W dayson, even better than
he was a fan of Asty since the

1587
02:00:51.560 --> 02:00:57.119
DNA days. That's what I do, That's what I do. Agreed,

1588
02:00:57.840 --> 02:01:04.800
everybody should salut JP for his efforts
instead of Darren Aronowski. How just how

1589
02:01:04.840 --> 02:01:14.600
willing are you to call the movie? The sports entertainer Terry Gross described wrestling

1590
02:01:14.680 --> 02:01:20.920
as the quote theater of cruelty and
suffering. Theater what what do you mean?

1591
02:01:21.560 --> 02:01:28.439
What? But get rid of that
part of it? Cruelty and suffering

1592
02:01:28.520 --> 02:01:32.239
and alone. During a sex scene
in Rahway, New Jersey. Jack said

1593
02:01:34.079 --> 02:01:41.600
he was tearing her the raw way. Oh God. The wrestler. In

1594
02:01:41.640 --> 02:01:46.920
nineteen seventy four, Eugene gump Enough
said I think it was JP who said

1595
02:01:47.079 --> 02:02:00.199
ed astors quote unending squest, unending
quest for snatch regarding his relents, et

1596
02:02:02.920 --> 02:02:15.239
J be rid about squaring the beef, and Jackson like, what, oh

1597
02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:24.880
God, my good things? We
say so so we just say them to

1598
02:02:24.960 --> 02:02:29.399
hear ourselves saying I know, it's
like, you know, there's there's It's

1599
02:02:29.479 --> 02:02:32.840
just like, you know, it's
just constantly saying ship, not knowing what's

1600
02:02:32.920 --> 02:02:36.000
gonna be the one that that that
has us rolling on the floor. But

1601
02:02:36.199 --> 02:02:40.640
just try to get there. Just
fucking keep throwing words out there, and

1602
02:02:40.720 --> 02:02:45.479
if one of them works, it's
gonna go oh shit. I love hearing

1603
02:02:45.520 --> 02:02:50.680
about Vern getting out conned by David
Friedman Beyond the Mat after a clip of

1604
02:02:50.720 --> 02:02:56.840
the director having shame about naming a
favorite Matt shape, he said, in

1605
02:02:56.960 --> 02:03:00.359
the United States of America, it
is unacceptable to be a professional wrestling fan.

1606
02:03:02.319 --> 02:03:05.000
Talking about the director's wife hiring Dusty
for his birthday, Jack said,

1607
02:03:05.079 --> 02:03:15.359
so Virgil, it was worth the
money. Oh God, an incredible line.

1608
02:03:15.399 --> 02:03:24.359
He says laps. Vincent to Barry
blaustein ari his Parkinson's I I did

1609
02:03:24.439 --> 02:03:28.039
not give you Parkinson's. I deny
it. I always knew you had a

1610
02:03:28.119 --> 02:03:34.239
steady hand as a shit Jesus Christ. Jack said, Vince sends Bury a

1611
02:03:34.279 --> 02:03:43.720
package every week that says fragile,
do not drop laps. Vince then gave

1612
02:03:43.800 --> 02:03:56.079
instructions to some underling. All right, hide behind a bush film it.

1613
02:03:56.760 --> 02:03:59.720
Then throw a rock in his head, in his head, or better yet,

1614
02:04:00.079 --> 02:04:08.279
the rock, ah, Jack,
that's what it sounds like, intern

1615
02:04:08.680 --> 02:04:15.680
like taking the rock up over his
head and throwing him. Jack said,

1616
02:04:18.920 --> 02:04:28.199
throw a rock. That's a very
big last and said just throw Dwayne.

1617
02:04:30.680 --> 02:04:33.880
Oh god, Jake on a podcast
with Conrad. You can't do cocaine and

1618
02:04:34.000 --> 02:04:45.399
do a job, Jack. That's
why okan always money. Has t l

1619
02:04:45.479 --> 02:04:49.520
Lef made a life is about food? Shirt? Yet no, this line

1620
02:04:49.520 --> 02:04:53.880
you come up again during this episode
because you called blouse and a master destroy

1621
02:04:53.960 --> 02:04:58.800
Tillip for specifying on the commentary track
that Jake was eating taco bell nachos.

1622
02:05:02.319 --> 02:05:05.800
Jack, in response to Jake getting
angry, You know who is most upset

1623
02:05:05.840 --> 02:05:11.680
about about being lied to liars?
They are mad you lied to them before

1624
02:05:11.720 --> 02:05:15.800
they could lie to you. If
there is a lapse, Hall of Fame,

1625
02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:19.239
Dennis Stamps, I'm not booked.
Poem belongs there. Blousing also said

1626
02:05:19.279 --> 02:05:24.640
when wrestlers say brother, they mean
bullshit. Yep, please give me a

1627
02:05:24.720 --> 02:05:35.560
lapse. Hope brother what brother?
No bull brother, not bullshit, just

1628
02:05:35.880 --> 02:05:43.880
brother. What? After reading Dennis's
boring grandfather like stories, Jack said,

1629
02:05:44.359 --> 02:05:56.640
it is like Romney was a wrestler. Someone coined taco Michinoka, Taco roll

1630
02:05:56.720 --> 02:06:03.760
Michinoku, uh JP kepacks and calling
Dennis as Terrence Stamp. That's funny because

1631
02:06:03.840 --> 02:06:08.319
Terrence Stamp is as an actor.
When talking about Dennis's death, he was

1632
02:06:08.399 --> 02:06:11.800
quoted as saying the quote only time
I was really alive was in the ring.

1633
02:06:12.359 --> 02:06:15.199
Jack said, or electrify me.
In response to Terry Funk saying the

1634
02:06:15.319 --> 02:06:18.960
only place you show real pain is
at home with family, and that it

1635
02:06:19.079 --> 02:06:24.079
is worse when they know it is
fake but you are really hurt. Wow,

1636
02:06:24.880 --> 02:06:28.520
Jack lob Blausen saying he was disturbed
that fully went to Vince when he

1637
02:06:28.720 --> 02:06:32.079
wasn't even an employee and that quote
Vince's might as touch as that disappointing him

1638
02:06:32.359 --> 02:06:38.600
would be the worst days of their
lives. Bingo JP said about Roland Alexander,

1639
02:06:38.640 --> 02:06:44.600
he has never earned honest dollar in
his life. Know me, when

1640
02:06:44.680 --> 02:06:48.520
JULIETT. Hogan and a Clip said, he quote isn't strictly Dickley, So

1641
02:06:48.640 --> 02:06:59.640
one of you said the occasionally,
Oh Jesus, Ryan's like the fucking best,

1642
02:07:00.239 --> 02:07:03.239
these little assaults. Oh my god. Everyone remembers the big sweeping bits,

1643
02:07:03.399 --> 02:07:06.439
you know, but this ship is
like, yeah, the things we

1644
02:07:06.560 --> 02:07:10.600
say that, you know, like
just fucking out of nowhere, last in

1645
02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:15.359
the moment and poof, they just
go away. Okay, oh man,

1646
02:07:15.439 --> 02:07:17.239
get ready, here we go wrestle
Mamia. I'm for the home stretch of

1647
02:07:17.279 --> 02:07:25.800
this holy shit elimination chamber With edge
cash in, Mama hypothesized that Scena became

1648
02:07:25.920 --> 02:07:31.640
less edgy and more clean cut because, quote me, maybe his mother asked

1649
02:07:31.680 --> 02:07:38.000
him to do that wrestle Mamia,
moat tear only boss sits with his mom

1650
02:07:38.079 --> 02:07:41.840
and watches old matches and it is
it is everything. We just did another

1651
02:07:41.920 --> 02:07:45.680
session and we did wrestle bating weekend
and oh my god, god, I

1652
02:07:45.680 --> 02:07:47.760
can't wait for you to hear some
of this fun ship. After the cash

1653
02:07:47.840 --> 02:07:50.279
in, she was livid. And
said, quote, it's not fair.

1654
02:07:50.760 --> 02:07:55.359
Somebody should write to whomever takes care
of this and require at least twenty four

1655
02:07:55.439 --> 02:08:01.640
hours. She got so mad talking
to JP that she said, quote,

1656
02:08:03.000 --> 02:08:09.359
it shouldn't John Peter incredible, it's
incredible. Oh shit, Eddie versus Ray

1657
02:08:09.560 --> 02:08:13.640
Halloween Having ninety seven, Mama asked
about w W and w W E,

1658
02:08:13.800 --> 02:08:18.199
then asked if w w W is
still around. Should be said those are

1659
02:08:18.279 --> 02:08:28.840
websites she has raised the Purple Guy
and the other guy. She said that

1660
02:08:30.760 --> 02:08:33.399
I guess so, so Ray is
the purple guy and the other guy is

1661
02:08:33.560 --> 02:08:41.199
Marty Martyre. Should be said,
yes, Marty Guerrero, correcting her later,

1662
02:08:41.720 --> 02:08:52.000
Marty, I'd like to see a
match between Ray and Marty fucking takes

1663
02:08:52.039 --> 02:08:56.520
place in a fucking uh uh uh
in like a garage fucking freaking morning Ray

1664
02:08:56.560 --> 02:09:03.039
and Martin happening. He had a
fucking uh you know, auto body shop.

1665
02:09:03.760 --> 02:09:09.119
The legendary battle between Ray and Marty. The very end of the match,

1666
02:09:09.199 --> 02:09:13.279
she asked, do you think it
smells near the ring because of all

1667
02:09:13.399 --> 02:09:18.800
the of all the estrogen or whatever? You call it? An amazing question

1668
02:09:18.960 --> 02:09:24.159
and I do think, she said
ring rather than ring ninety five Halloween ha

1669
02:09:24.279 --> 02:09:28.000
ac tag JP's plain Flair wasn't out
for the start of the match because he

1670
02:09:28.079 --> 02:09:33.640
was attacked backstage. Mama said,
quote that should be illegal. Fighting is

1671
02:09:33.720 --> 02:09:37.680
in the ring knock something out,
so knock something out of a potential forsome

1672
02:09:37.319 --> 02:09:48.960
doesn't appropriate, replied did? They
replied, I don't recall if there was

1673
02:09:48.000 --> 02:09:54.199
a lawsuit after that. At the
end, JP kept asking your thoughts on

1674
02:09:54.319 --> 02:10:01.239
Ric Flair. Mama kept ignoring.
Eventually said, I thought you meant it

1675
02:10:01.359 --> 02:10:13.279
was a book foughts on Rick Flair. This is everything, This is great

1676
02:10:13.720 --> 02:10:22.039
feating Rawland telling us so. Mama
asked about seth rawlins is what the fuck

1677
02:10:22.439 --> 02:10:31.640
did sname prentice? Name apprentice?
She asked one year it took place,

1678
02:10:31.000 --> 02:10:35.720
and JP said twenty nineteen. Mama
said, no, wonder this country in

1679
02:10:35.760 --> 02:10:48.640
the world are getting more and more
disturbed. Huh Ray Mulenko, JP explained

1680
02:10:48.680 --> 02:10:52.640
cruiser weight them. Hamma asked,
it isn't lightweight, medium weight and heavyweight.

1681
02:10:56.000 --> 02:10:58.279
She said, so many two is
not making it to three. They

1682
02:10:58.359 --> 02:11:01.279
must be exhausted in the out.
Oh my god. She was appalled by

1683
02:11:01.359 --> 02:11:09.760
Malenko winning with his feet on the
ropes and asked the the movie man saw

1684
02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:18.279
it is about how they gage it
the camera man. She also she also

1685
02:11:18.439 --> 02:11:22.359
that's why there aren't replays like football
severs Series eighty eight. Mama asked about

1686
02:11:22.439 --> 02:11:26.720
how Vince paid the wrestlers and said, did that guy who was retiring Vince

1687
02:11:26.800 --> 02:11:35.760
have have all that paperwork? Unbelievable. She also yd Fooji get out,

1688
02:11:37.239 --> 02:11:46.760
Oh God starkad Bugsy mcraw match.
Mama asked, did you say did you

1689
02:11:46.840 --> 02:11:52.640
say he's Irish? I go No, I did not, and that's the

1690
02:11:52.760 --> 02:11:56.920
end of that one. Oh my
God, Flair a Stark eighty three.

1691
02:11:58.079 --> 02:12:07.640
Mama described Flair during his entrance almost
like a hinto priest or royalty. JP

1692
02:12:07.800 --> 02:12:11.079
said to watch for the referee gen
Kinisky that Mama said, oh Polish.

1693
02:12:16.439 --> 02:12:26.600
That might be one of the fiest
tour statements in podcast history. She asked,

1694
02:12:26.000 --> 02:12:31.279
is this Chrisinski still in the picture
before JB clarified that Kinsky, not

1695
02:12:31.439 --> 02:12:37.079
Krasinski, is dead. JP told
her about fans going to wrestling after Thanksgiving

1696
02:12:37.079 --> 02:12:39.399
dinner, which I do, Ima, saying I'd be throwing up the turkey

1697
02:12:39.479 --> 02:12:48.800
with something this gory sorrows, some
absolute treasure w W E c W Chamber.

1698
02:12:48.960 --> 02:12:52.039
JP explained that Paul Hayman was the
head booker, and Mama said,

1699
02:12:54.760 --> 02:13:01.399
I thought you said head booker.
Oh god, yes, whaling Mercy Savio

1700
02:13:01.479 --> 02:13:05.760
Vega. JP said Whalen looked like
he was in a psych Word then asked

1701
02:13:05.840 --> 02:13:09.039
how he could wrestle if he was
in a psych ward. JP said,

1702
02:13:09.239 --> 02:13:16.279
I don't know. I don't know
how the contracts work was used the star

1703
02:13:16.319 --> 02:13:22.239
of the episodes, but JP was
MP like her Pilman fine the last one.

1704
02:13:22.800 --> 02:13:33.279
Mamaske JP if he ever went to
a wrestling show, priest what she

1705
02:13:33.439 --> 02:13:35.840
asked you, if you've ever been
to a wrestling show with it? But

1706
02:13:35.960 --> 02:13:39.479
you know she hadn't she I would
imagine she gave a name because there used

1707
02:13:39.520 --> 02:13:45.399
to be when I was when That's
how I got into wrestling, if you

1708
02:13:45.439 --> 02:13:48.720
remember. So they would do they
would sing it at at at Mass and

1709
02:13:50.760 --> 02:13:54.199
they'd sing a different churches they do
the singing and and your parents my parents

1710
02:13:54.520 --> 02:14:01.159
sorry, I'm trying to gather myself, and and had one of them.

1711
02:14:01.199 --> 02:14:03.279
It was, uh, this one, priest was my parents knew for years,

1712
02:14:03.399 --> 02:14:07.119
like they would you know, they
used to like long long time and

1713
02:14:07.319 --> 02:14:13.039
so at this on the Sunday Mass, because I'd go like we'd do Mass

1714
02:14:13.159 --> 02:14:18.159
Saturday and Sunday because they'd seen it
both days nauseating, and so I'd go

1715
02:14:18.279 --> 02:14:22.720
Saturday nights and then on Sundays the
priest that was a friend of the family

1716
02:14:22.760 --> 02:14:28.079
would let me go and watch TV
at the rectory and I would watch.

1717
02:14:28.479 --> 02:14:31.760
That's where I stumbled on wrestling.
That's where I stumbled on fucking you know

1718
02:14:33.319 --> 02:14:39.359
sat all American wrestling and started it
all. So I think she was asking

1719
02:14:39.439 --> 02:14:45.840
about fat priest and not just a
priest. But anyway, what a bizarre

1720
02:14:46.039 --> 02:14:48.319
question. She then mentioned a local
scandal, then clarify, all yeah,

1721
02:14:48.319 --> 02:14:52.439
because it was about father father Roland. She then mentioned a local scandal that

1722
02:14:52.920 --> 02:14:56.840
and then clarified it was not with
boys, but the priest was gay.

1723
02:14:58.079 --> 02:15:01.000
Make people for the dear. I
don't know what will Ryan, thank you.

1724
02:15:03.800 --> 02:15:09.439
I'm going to bed now a buss
You are right. Holy shit,

1725
02:15:09.359 --> 02:15:16.359
Wow, that is too. That
is unfucking real. Really one of that

1726
02:15:16.560 --> 02:15:22.479
last fucking an hour and a half
truly is unbelievable stuff there, Jesus,

1727
02:15:22.439 --> 02:15:26.119
you know that's what we do.
All right, I'm gonna go, you

1728
02:15:26.239 --> 02:15:30.880
do the next one. We feel
my water and Brian apologies. We couldn't

1729
02:15:30.880 --> 02:15:35.720
connect after WrestleMania got really hectic.
But man, what service to the solar

1730
02:15:35.760 --> 02:15:39.479
system keeping track of things like that, especially for folks who don't know about

1731
02:15:39.479 --> 02:15:43.239
wrestle Mommia. Man, it's available
into the moat tiers, so we understand

1732
02:15:45.560 --> 02:15:48.960
if it's too rich for some blood. But I'm telling you, I've done

1733
02:15:48.960 --> 02:15:50.000
a couple of these now, sitting
in the living room with them, and

1734
02:15:50.079 --> 02:15:54.760
it's it is. You have no
idea what she's going to say next.

1735
02:15:56.560 --> 02:15:58.239
You have no idea what she's going
to lean into and notice, and what

1736
02:15:58.359 --> 02:16:03.960
she's not gonna notice You just can
never tell with the come out of her

1737
02:16:03.000 --> 02:16:07.239
mouth. It's it's. It's a
remarkable thing because it's it's organic, man,

1738
02:16:07.319 --> 02:16:09.199
it is, and it's as real
as it gets. There's no shtick.

1739
02:16:09.319 --> 02:16:13.880
It's just this. It's just the
most honest like thing I've ever heard

1740
02:16:13.960 --> 02:16:18.880
in terms of trying to replicate that
feeling of being being a kid and watching

1741
02:16:18.960 --> 02:16:22.840
pro wrestling in a room where people
who aren't fans are sitting there and letting

1742
02:16:22.880 --> 02:16:28.600
you watch it, and just like
weighing in or asking these questions that are

1743
02:16:28.680 --> 02:16:33.920
so kind of like prosaic and quaint
and and like almost like innocent, but

1744
02:16:35.040 --> 02:16:37.520
but also kind of there's a little
sting to the questions because it's like it's

1745
02:16:37.559 --> 02:16:41.799
it's a it's in some ways acknowledging
that you're kind of ridiculous for watching this

1746
02:16:41.840 --> 02:16:46.319
stuff. Oh man, all right, hugely, thank you for the pledge.

1747
02:16:46.360 --> 02:16:48.760
We appreciated. Eric Coleman, thanks
for the cake. That's what's up.

1748
02:16:48.840 --> 02:16:56.159
Jordan Galbraith, you are absolutely goddamn
correct. Thank you for the cheese.

1749
02:16:56.040 --> 02:16:58.200
Chris k, thank you very much. Johnny C. Welcome in.

1750
02:16:58.319 --> 02:17:03.760
Welcome to that premium taste, my
friend. We we very much appreciate your

1751
02:17:03.760 --> 02:17:07.879
support back in the saddle here.
Yes, shit, it's back to Hawaii

1752
02:17:09.040 --> 02:17:13.479
and our boy Kai boats underground.
Of course, I thank you in atonement

1753
02:17:13.520 --> 02:17:16.319
and lapsed moments in life. He
writes, Dear co chairs of Harsh cruel

1754
02:17:16.360 --> 02:17:18.159
ass Pain, I'm writing to you
today fully aware that I missed the winter

1755
02:17:18.239 --> 02:17:20.440
mail bag, but I needed to
get a letter in. It's been two

1756
02:17:20.479 --> 02:17:24.239
damn long. I'm fully prepared to
not hear this letter for a few months,

1757
02:17:24.239 --> 02:17:26.840
and that's okay, because you beefcakes
are busy enough as it is.

1758
02:17:26.360 --> 02:17:28.879
I wanted to write you to thank
you for the countless hours of entertainment that

1759
02:17:28.920 --> 02:17:33.000
fill my ear holes daily. I've
mentioned before that I'm a postal carrier,

1760
02:17:33.159 --> 02:17:35.680
and while it's not best practice to
wear headphones while I work, I can't

1761
02:17:35.680 --> 02:17:37.239
help it. I throw in those
white ear pods and get lost in the

1762
02:17:37.280 --> 02:17:41.319
cabanish journeys TLF provides. This particular
funk journey brought me pain, happiness,

1763
02:17:41.360 --> 02:17:45.360
sadness, and every other emotion you
can think of. It also made me

1764
02:17:45.479 --> 02:17:48.920
laugh out loud on multiple occasions,
which definitely sparks in confusion among my various

1765
02:17:48.959 --> 02:17:52.479
customers who are retired and are just
waiting for the mailman to deliver their mail.

1766
02:17:52.879 --> 02:17:56.159
One particular moment was when I blew
the butcher exclaimed that he wants a

1767
02:17:56.280 --> 02:18:01.000
ring rat to rub deodorant under his
tits. It suck and suck, cocking

1768
02:18:01.079 --> 02:18:07.239
of his ass. I think I
always said that one now the atonement he

1769
02:18:07.399 --> 02:18:11.760
writes, I'm a huge football fan, strictly that San Francisco forty nine ers

1770
02:18:13.239 --> 02:18:15.639
when they were on their playoff run, I lapsed from TLF to focus on

1771
02:18:15.639 --> 02:18:18.600
the various YouTube videos, podcasts,
and all things niners. I was far

1772
02:18:18.680 --> 02:18:20.600
behind on the lapsed funk and UTC, but when the Niners unfortunately suffered the

1773
02:18:20.639 --> 02:18:24.959
Taylor Swift screw job. I'm back
one hundred po so I'm in confession right

1774
02:18:26.000 --> 02:18:28.520
now to die for my sins and
repent to you Jack and JP. Lastly,

1775
02:18:28.600 --> 02:18:31.280
some lapsed moments in my life.
These are a collection of moments that

1776
02:18:31.280 --> 02:18:37.120
I've perpetuated around non TLF listeners for
my own amusement. One. In Hawaii,

1777
02:18:37.239 --> 02:18:39.920
the Department of Transportation is making a
conscious effort to limit drunk driving by

1778
02:18:39.959 --> 02:18:43.760
putting messages on those big sign boards
that hang on overpasses. One says,

1779
02:18:45.000 --> 02:18:46.879
bring a d D to your next
party. I told my wife, bring

1780
02:18:46.959 --> 02:18:52.000
your dunkin Donuts to your next party? Damn right, maybe a lage regular.

1781
02:18:52.280 --> 02:18:56.719
What does a DD mean? Bring
a DDT desert driver? Oh yeah,

1782
02:18:56.479 --> 02:19:01.520
she laughed. Two whichever is amazing
that someone's saying that in Hawaii.

1783
02:19:01.879 --> 02:19:03.440
Whether I don't think they're already duncans, I can't remember it right now.

1784
02:19:05.680 --> 02:19:09.000
Whenever I see a particularly disturbing hairstyle
or fashion style, I tell my wife

1785
02:19:09.040 --> 02:19:13.159
that is not appropriate. Yes,
that's awesome. Three When my wife thanks

1786
02:19:13.200 --> 02:19:15.399
me for something I did, I
always reply, in typical Hogan fashion,

1787
02:19:15.440 --> 02:19:18.600
thank you for Four I use my
Jesse Ventura impression when we go to eat

1788
02:19:18.600 --> 02:19:22.200
Mexican and my wife is taken to
have conversation with me and call me Jesse.

1789
02:19:22.319 --> 02:19:26.639
It helps that you like to Jimmy
Changa's Yes, what are we doing

1790
02:19:26.680 --> 02:19:28.959
to people? We are doing the
right thing. Lastly, a shameful story.

1791
02:19:30.239 --> 02:19:31.399
The Royal Rumble is my favorite time
of year, and I will watch

1792
02:19:31.440 --> 02:19:35.360
previous rumbles to get excited and remind
myself that things used to be better.

1793
02:19:35.559 --> 02:19:37.520
So I thought that I would ask
my wife this year if she wanted to

1794
02:19:37.559 --> 02:19:41.319
watch the Rumbles with me. It
could bring it was something cool for us

1795
02:19:41.360 --> 02:19:43.440
to do, and I could show
her some history this product. That is

1796
02:19:43.479 --> 02:19:46.079
the sole reason why we still have
cable to this day. A response,

1797
02:19:46.719 --> 02:19:50.520
why would I want to do that? Sounds boring? Agree, Shaven Pain.

1798
02:19:52.360 --> 02:19:54.479
Thank you for ten glorious years.
Thank you for journey after journey.

1799
02:19:54.680 --> 02:19:58.360
If you are a lapsed fan and
are currently going through the catalog and doubting

1800
02:19:58.399 --> 02:20:01.840
yourself, keep ongoing it only it's
better. Podcasts come and go, but

1801
02:20:01.920 --> 02:20:05.719
the lapsed fan will always be here. Tlfol. Just stay like the cast,

1802
02:20:05.799 --> 02:20:07.479
a role that Jerry Stiller was talking
about in Zoolander. When he was

1803
02:20:09.000 --> 02:20:11.840
yelling at his wife on the phone. We love you and we like you,

1804
02:20:13.000 --> 02:20:16.200
Kaypo from Hawaii. Currently seventy degrees
in Sunday outside and we have people

1805
02:20:16.200 --> 02:20:18.879
wearing bubble jackets. Ridiculous, I
know. He asked, perhaps boss Man

1806
02:20:18.920 --> 02:20:22.680
can indulge me as I pop a
quarter into the lap jukebox. I don't

1807
02:20:22.680 --> 02:20:28.040
know if you're Laps Vince singing Teddy
by Austen Junior song I Come from money.

1808
02:20:28.559 --> 02:20:31.799
Thank you. I don't have it
right now, Okay, understandable.

1809
02:20:31.879 --> 02:20:35.120
Look, it's there's a reason people
ask and don't request, because it's not

1810
02:20:35.159 --> 02:20:39.559
always a yes, it's fine,
but that that's just wonderful stuff. And

1811
02:20:41.120 --> 02:20:43.360
you know he's talking about how you
know, stick with the catalog, keep

1812
02:20:43.399 --> 02:20:46.000
on going on. It gets better
and better every now and someone will have

1813
02:20:46.079 --> 02:20:48.000
the bright idea, as you well
know, boss of saying, hey,

1814
02:20:48.079 --> 02:20:50.319
laps Fan used to be better too. Oh yes, and I'll think it,

1815
02:20:50.360 --> 02:20:54.479
okay, fair if that's If that's
your opinion, I respect it.

1816
02:20:54.920 --> 02:20:56.959
However, you're gonna ask yourself a
question, yes, is it us that

1817
02:20:58.120 --> 02:21:01.719
used to be better or is it
you? I agree in every sense of

1818
02:21:01.760 --> 02:21:07.840
the term. I agree that the
conversation is that I I also, you

1819
02:21:07.959 --> 02:21:13.159
know you, I'll say this,
you did take the time to comment and

1820
02:21:13.559 --> 02:21:18.399
that steercoa chairman. Some like it
hot. I think this one might be

1821
02:21:18.479 --> 02:21:22.120
more a little more for you because
it's that's a great episode sitting there for

1822
02:21:22.319 --> 02:21:26.280
you right now, absolutely in the
EP and above tier some like it hot,

1823
02:21:26.360 --> 02:21:30.799
Marilyn Monroe and what's the rest of
the people. It was our two

1824
02:21:30.920 --> 02:21:33.920
actually there were two. I don't
remember the second guy because he was a

1825
02:21:33.000 --> 02:21:39.680
last minute discovery. But for sure
we have Mike mczerki, who has a

1826
02:21:39.719 --> 02:21:46.639
significant role in the movie, and
uh, you know he qualifies on just

1827
02:21:46.760 --> 02:21:56.120
how fucking mh brilliant he is.
I should note too, also another big

1828
02:21:56.239 --> 02:22:00.479
thank you to Tom Antanasio for providing
us and oh my good by us.

1829
02:22:00.959 --> 02:22:09.520
By us, it's me who inherited
a fucking arcade wrestleast tabletop arcade, tabletop

1830
02:22:09.799 --> 02:22:15.280
arcade. I mean it's also got
I mean, listen, anyone who's gotten

1831
02:22:15.360 --> 02:22:22.719
those these that this these consoles,
that are these bizarre phenomenons that they've got,

1832
02:22:22.840 --> 02:22:26.639
Like it's got like five thousand games
on it. It's got like every

1833
02:22:26.799 --> 02:22:31.479
arcade game that you could fucking possibly
imagine from would from back in the day

1834
02:22:31.040 --> 02:22:35.840
and like nineteen ninety three to have
an arcade cabinet in my fucking house.

1835
02:22:35.920 --> 02:22:39.920
Oh my god, Oh my god. It in like a free one too,

1836
02:22:39.000 --> 02:22:45.639
for that matter, like one that
you wouldn't have to fucking actually you

1837
02:22:45.760 --> 02:22:50.959
know, fucking uh uh uh,
you know, shove coins in. But

1838
02:22:50.040 --> 02:22:52.000
like it's got, it's got.
It's got not only does that have Wrestle

1839
02:22:52.079 --> 02:22:58.000
Fast, it has all the wrestling
games. It has uh, it has

1840
02:22:58.079 --> 02:23:01.879
Superstars, the other arcade game.
It has a bunch of unknown games that

1841
02:23:01.920 --> 02:23:07.680
I've never heard of before. It's
got the original World Championship Wrestling game on

1842
02:23:07.799 --> 02:23:11.840
it. No, it's not,
but they have a bunch of Nintendo games

1843
02:23:11.879 --> 02:23:16.559
too. What it's got the original
WrestleMania, It's got WrestleMania Challenge, Super

1844
02:23:16.600 --> 02:23:22.840
WrestleMania for both Genesis and Super Nintendo. It's got both Royal Rumble games.

1845
02:23:24.639 --> 02:23:30.520
It's got just a ton of fucking
It's also got a bunch of like Japanese

1846
02:23:30.559 --> 02:23:33.559
wrestling games as well. It's wild, It's it's chock full of shit.

1847
02:23:33.639 --> 02:23:37.760
Let alone. I mean, that's
just wrestling games. It's also got all

1848
02:23:37.840 --> 02:23:41.120
the Ninja Turtle Arcade games, the
Simpsons arcade games and the Nintendo versions.

1849
02:23:41.120 --> 02:23:46.600
It's it's loaded with shit. It's
unbelievable. What lifetime goal you've had in

1850
02:23:46.600 --> 02:23:50.000
wrestle Fest that now you have the
chance to actually realize. I well,

1851
02:23:50.200 --> 02:23:52.520
actually, it's funny you brought this
up too, because uh so, finally

1852
02:23:52.719 --> 02:24:03.280
I can now achieve the goal of
eliminating all the gay from from the from

1853
02:24:03.360 --> 02:24:07.040
the game. And I was playing. Listen, I will admit I probably

1854
02:24:09.399 --> 02:24:11.559
play russell Fest at least once a
day. You know. It's like kind

1855
02:24:11.559 --> 02:24:15.559
of right there in my basement.
I do a rumble, you know,

1856
02:24:16.520 --> 02:24:20.719
and and the goal is to be
Hogan and eliminated every Hogan el eleven other

1857
02:24:20.799 --> 02:24:28.280
people. I did find a loophole, especially in this free version, because

1858
02:24:28.479 --> 02:24:35.920
I can add people. I can
add people as a second player, So

1859
02:24:37.120 --> 02:24:41.920
when it came down to me and
the last person, I just kept adding

1860
02:24:41.000 --> 02:24:48.000
somebody, and so I ended up
eliminating fifteen people in a game that has

1861
02:24:48.040 --> 02:24:50.719
twelve royal Rumble participants. Wow,
because I had like, so you did

1862
02:24:50.760 --> 02:24:54.200
it. I did do it,
but I'll say this, it wasn't legitimate.

1863
02:24:54.280 --> 02:24:56.639
But I was glad to get the
top high score for once. But

1864
02:24:56.760 --> 02:25:01.239
I do want to try to legitimately
eliminate all eleven eleven guys. It's hard.

1865
02:25:01.319 --> 02:25:05.159
It's very hard because there's no way
to control. If there was a

1866
02:25:05.239 --> 02:25:09.600
way that could really control how to
body slam people over the top rope,

1867
02:25:09.680 --> 02:25:11.879
it would work. But it's not
an easy thing to do. Like it's

1868
02:25:11.920 --> 02:25:18.559
not it's not like the moves have
you know, moves are different like they

1869
02:25:18.680 --> 02:25:22.159
they all change. Like you know, if you do if you grapple with

1870
02:25:22.280 --> 02:25:24.719
somebody and are like pushing the buttons
and going with the left for the joystick,

1871
02:25:24.760 --> 02:25:28.760
it'll be a different move each time. It doesn't you know, it

1872
02:25:28.840 --> 02:25:35.520
doesn't matter like it's it's it's very
non sensical in that way. But I

1873
02:25:35.639 --> 02:25:37.639
do want to do it legitimately.
But I did. I did get that

1874
02:25:37.760 --> 02:25:43.000
top score for once, but I
know it was I cheated. I will

1875
02:25:43.000 --> 02:25:48.159
admit that I did cheat to get
it. But it'll happen. I'll get

1876
02:25:48.200 --> 02:25:56.079
there. I will uh tom Atchinasio, dear coach chairman. I thoroughly enjoyed

1877
02:25:56.079 --> 02:26:00.280
the cinemat journey through Something like It
Hot, especially the conversation about Wilder pushing

1878
02:26:00.319 --> 02:26:03.399
the envelope on sexual content with the
Hayes Code still an effect. I talked

1879
02:26:05.479 --> 02:26:11.920
Billy Wilder, mister Billy Wilder,
the incredible filmmaker who will very well acquainted

1880
02:26:11.959 --> 02:26:16.959
with episode indeed, and you know
we we'll definitely be able to revisit him

1881
02:26:16.079 --> 02:26:22.520
there. You know, there have
been some I wanted to. I was

1882
02:26:22.639 --> 02:26:30.399
very hoping to get to get the
Sunset Boulevard as uh put that on the

1883
02:26:30.440 --> 02:26:37.280
list. And I guess the the
ae W character, the the black and

1884
02:26:37.360 --> 02:26:39.159
White woman, she did all the
stuff in black and white. What's her

1885
02:26:39.200 --> 02:26:46.440
name? I guess her stuff is
directly based on, Yes, the character

1886
02:26:46.000 --> 02:26:52.120
of Nesma of Norma Desmond. Yeah. So, so that that right there

1887
02:26:52.000 --> 02:26:58.079
qualifies Sunset Boulevard. I taught a
course on the Hayes Code about twelve years

1888
02:26:58.079 --> 02:27:01.079
ago now, and I alway found
the pre code films and the fight around

1889
02:27:01.159 --> 02:27:05.159
the enforcement of the code fascinating,
especially the mythology of the code, which

1890
02:27:05.239 --> 02:27:09.879
made the states in Hollywood in particular, seem a lot more chase than it

1891
02:27:09.959 --> 02:27:13.000
really was. Really. The Code, although officially enforced from nineteen thirty four,

1892
02:27:13.120 --> 02:27:16.479
didn't really come into full effect until
nineteen thirty nine, and from the

1893
02:27:16.559 --> 02:27:22.520
beginning, filmmakers and studio heads were
focused on ways to get around it.

1894
02:27:22.440 --> 02:27:26.319
With the rise of noirs in the
late forties, there were a bunch of

1895
02:27:26.399 --> 02:27:30.520
films that really started to push the
envelope, most notably Notorious, The Lady

1896
02:27:30.600 --> 02:27:35.600
from Shanghai and Strangers on a Train
Hall all Hitchcock films, or Lady from

1897
02:27:35.600 --> 02:27:37.000
Shanga. I don't think it's a
Hitchcock film, but Notorious and Strangers on

1898
02:27:37.040 --> 02:27:41.760
a Trainer. In the early fifties, there was the attempts at a crackdown,

1899
02:27:41.840 --> 02:27:46.159
with McCarthy IDEs arguing that as part
of the Communist infiltration of Hollywood,

1900
02:27:46.159 --> 02:27:50.600
they were trying to inject more depravity
into our films, really all our entertainment,

1901
02:27:50.600 --> 02:27:54.760
which would inevitably lead to moral degradation, which would in turn weaken the

1902
02:27:54.840 --> 02:28:01.520
country during I love how of it? Like, so the communist infiltration was

1903
02:28:01.559 --> 02:28:09.079
all about, like destroying the morals
of the country. That's what it was

1904
02:28:09.120 --> 02:28:13.520
all about. I guess I don't
get me started. It's kind of funny,

1905
02:28:13.559 --> 02:28:16.360
like when you think about it,
like you think about all the countries

1906
02:28:16.399 --> 02:28:22.559
and how strict those communist countries are
or were or whatever, and it's like

1907
02:28:22.799 --> 02:28:28.920
you like, well, it doesn't
seem like they'd want to open the censorship

1908
02:28:28.239 --> 02:28:31.079
they'd want to close the censorship.
They want to make even tighter, not

1909
02:28:31.280 --> 02:28:39.920
just run, you know, run
rampant shit, but whatever. During this

1910
02:28:39.920 --> 02:28:43.840
period, essentially from nineteen fifty one
to nineteen fifty six, the Hayes Code

1911
02:28:43.959 --> 02:28:48.760
was more strictly enforced whenever possible by
various censorship boards, and there was also

1912
02:28:48.799 --> 02:28:52.799
a crackdown on comics, leading to
the Comic Book Code of nineteen fifty four.

1913
02:28:52.879 --> 02:28:58.799
We did talk about that, what
do we talk about that? Maybe

1914
02:28:58.840 --> 02:29:01.120
with Batman with that return, I
think so, I talked about it with

1915
02:29:01.159 --> 02:29:07.000
them. With American films, more
tightly controlled print exploded, especially pulp fiction

1916
02:29:07.120 --> 02:29:11.200
novels and magazines, eventually leading to
the release of the first Playboy in December

1917
02:29:11.280 --> 02:29:15.920
nineteen fifty three, which we did
talk about with some like it hot.

1918
02:29:16.280 --> 02:29:20.120
While these types of publications had done
increasingly well since the late nineteen twenties,

1919
02:29:20.280 --> 02:29:24.799
the early fifties saw a marked rise
in sales as Americans turned to print to

1920
02:29:24.879 --> 02:29:30.799
provide more titillating stories images a few
examples attached. By mid fifties, foreign

1921
02:29:30.840 --> 02:29:37.120
films not restricted by the Hayes Code
started garnering big box office receipts, even

1922
02:29:37.159 --> 02:29:39.879
with the limited releases, and the
studios decided to push back, culminating with

1923
02:29:41.040 --> 02:29:45.799
Jane Mansfield in The Girl Can't Help
It in nineteen fifty six, which essentially

1924
02:29:45.959 --> 02:29:50.760
was a one hundred minute showcase of
Mansfield's considerable cleavage. Despite bad reviews,

1925
02:29:50.879 --> 02:29:54.040
The Girl Can't Help It was a
hit and there was no going back,

1926
02:29:54.120 --> 02:29:58.200
and studios rushed to greenlight movies that
skirted the code or in some cases just

1927
02:29:58.280 --> 02:30:01.840
outright ignorore as for Some Like It
Hot. Wilder, who had worked in

1928
02:30:01.879 --> 02:30:07.920
the completely uncensored Weimar Republic, had
always fought to get as much innuendo and

1929
02:30:07.040 --> 02:30:13.559
skin in his pictures as possible,
believing strongly that americans puritanical ideas of sex

1930
02:30:13.600 --> 02:30:16.079
were not only absurd but unhealthy.
Some Like It Hot was the type of

1931
02:30:16.239 --> 02:30:20.719
movie Wylder had tried to get past
studio sensors for years, to no avail.

1932
02:30:20.920 --> 02:30:24.239
As soon as it became clear the
studios had decided to effectively ignore the

1933
02:30:24.319 --> 02:30:28.559
code, Wilder jumped on the Champs
to make a big budget production for the

1934
02:30:28.600 --> 02:30:33.879
time that really took aim at what
he considered completely fictional American morals. The

1935
02:30:33.040 --> 02:30:35.840
studios pushed to set the film in
the nineteen twenties, because of the nineteen

1936
02:30:35.840 --> 02:30:41.079
twenties reputation for having loose morals during
Prohibition and the fact that it would take

1937
02:30:41.120 --> 02:30:45.760
place in the pre code era.
If the sensors pushed back, they would

1938
02:30:45.879 --> 02:30:48.680
argue they were telling a pre code
story. Look at that, and that's

1939
02:30:48.719 --> 02:30:54.079
funny. Oh, we're basically making
a pre code movie that. Look but

1940
02:30:54.159 --> 02:30:58.920
no, see, see, it's
taking place as a commentary right on pre

1941
02:31:00.159 --> 02:31:03.639
code morals and the lack of so
we're just kind of you know, geez

1942
02:31:03.319 --> 02:31:11.840
see, it's very moral in its
immorality. Say that again, a point

1943
02:31:11.879 --> 02:31:16.760
studio lawyers actually used when Kansas initially
refused to show the film. At the

1944
02:31:16.840 --> 02:31:24.159
same Wilder's sometimes rival Hitchcock had begun
pre production on his sexually charged Cold War

1945
02:31:24.280 --> 02:31:30.399
thriller north By Northwest. Oh God, please somebody find me, get me

1946
02:31:30.479 --> 02:31:33.319
a reason? Is that right?
Oh? I would love to dissect north

1947
02:31:33.360 --> 02:31:37.360
By Northwest. Wilder and Hitchcock had
a strange relationship. Both men were foreign

1948
02:31:37.399 --> 02:31:41.799
filmmakers who came up in the nineteen
twenties, Both were disciples of Ernest Lubitch,

1949
02:31:43.280 --> 02:31:46.799
and both had had unbelievable success in
the States. But they didn't really

1950
02:31:46.920 --> 02:31:50.680
know each other, and although they
were never outwardly hostile, they were incredibly

1951
02:31:50.719 --> 02:31:58.120
competitive, especially after Sunset Boulevard,
when critics began crediting Wilder for out hitchcocking

1952
02:31:58.319 --> 02:32:01.520
Hitchcock. Anyway, the making of
Hot and north By Northwest, Wilder and

1953
02:32:01.559 --> 02:32:05.840
Hitchcock both were trying to include as
much sexual content as they could reasonably get

1954
02:32:05.879 --> 02:32:09.440
away with, and rumor has it
they were actually trying to outdo the other

1955
02:32:09.600 --> 02:32:13.440
on this front. Thanks to Marilyn
Monroe and the boat scene, Wilder won

1956
02:32:13.559 --> 02:32:16.680
this battle out right. North By
Northwest doesn't fuck around when it comes telling

1957
02:32:16.680 --> 02:32:20.280
a very adult story, but it
doesn't have anything like the boat sex scene.

1958
02:32:20.360 --> 02:32:24.000
Some like it. Hot Hot also
was critically and commercially a much bigger

1959
02:32:24.079 --> 02:32:28.440
hit than north By Northwest. Interestingly
enough, the boat scene in HoTT is

1960
02:32:28.479 --> 02:32:31.799
credited for leading directly to the shower
scene in Psycho and the Trevie Fountain scene

1961
02:32:31.840 --> 02:32:37.079
in La dolce Vita. With Boat, Hitchcock and Fellini determined to go further

1962
02:32:37.319 --> 02:32:43.559
than Wilder to great box office and
critical success, the hit hotchkick Denny Hudge.

1963
02:32:46.040 --> 02:32:48.639
The Hitchcock Wilder rivalry, if it
can be called, that ended in

1964
02:32:48.719 --> 02:32:54.479
nineteen sixty when Hitchcock broke the ice
after seeing the Apartment, writing Wilder to

1965
02:32:54.559 --> 02:32:58.719
express his admiration for the film.
Anyway, this is a very long winded

1966
02:32:58.760 --> 02:33:01.799
way of saying that while every one
in the movie business was careful with how

1967
02:33:01.920 --> 02:33:07.120
much skin slash sexual sexualized content they
showed between nineteen thirty five to fifty five,

1968
02:33:07.200 --> 02:33:11.280
the Code was never quite as stingents
as it's made out to be now.

1969
02:33:11.959 --> 02:33:16.479
Wilder in Hitchcock especially hated it because
they felt it was completely hypocritical to

1970
02:33:16.559 --> 02:33:20.280
what American society was like during the
time. Sorry, this is so ridiculously

1971
02:33:20.360 --> 02:33:22.920
long. Started with the idea of
throwing in a bit of context and ended

1972
02:33:24.000 --> 02:33:28.120
up with this monstrosity. Please feel
free to ignore all of it. Oh

1973
02:33:28.200 --> 02:33:31.719
it's good stuff. There no way
I love about that anything. I was

1974
02:33:31.760 --> 02:33:35.319
surprising to you in there. Yeah, I didn't know about the Hitchcock Wilder

1975
02:33:35.520 --> 02:33:39.200
rivalry. I'd also didn't really,
I mean, because yeah, look,

1976
02:33:39.280 --> 02:33:43.399
look I took I took my fair
share of history of you know, media

1977
02:33:45.440 --> 02:33:52.040
classes and whatever in college, and
everyone talked about the fucking the Code like

1978
02:33:52.120 --> 02:33:54.440
it was like it was the law, Like it wasn't even a code.

1979
02:33:54.479 --> 02:34:01.040
It was like the law. So
it's interesting to hear that it really wasn't

1980
02:34:01.159 --> 02:34:03.719
and that that's kind of a more
modern take on questions. Yeah, you

1981
02:34:03.840 --> 02:34:07.600
know, and and I mean,
listen the fucking it really makes sense that

1982
02:34:07.959 --> 02:34:11.600
to hear them, to hear Hitchcock. I mean, have you seen north

1983
02:34:11.600 --> 02:34:15.959
By Northwest? A great movie?
And I just watched it again recently,

1984
02:34:15.959 --> 02:34:18.920
and it's very true, like there
is a lot of like there's a lot

1985
02:34:20.000 --> 02:34:28.040
of of of a really extreme sexual
innuendo and it's uh, I don't want

1986
02:34:28.040 --> 02:34:31.559
to spoil anything, so hopefully we'll
be able to go to watch it's wonderful,

1987
02:34:31.959 --> 02:34:35.639
wonderful reason. I don't have a
reason yet. Yeah, but solar

1988
02:34:35.680 --> 02:34:37.680
system activating, get on it.
Fine, give me, give me north

1989
02:34:37.680 --> 02:34:41.319
By Northwest. Please tell them about
another great letter. On a recent episode

1990
02:34:41.319 --> 02:34:43.600
of Under the Cinemat, I don't
remember what movie this was, but remember

1991
02:34:43.680 --> 02:34:48.040
we were talking about filming a novel
page by page. Yeah, yeah,

1992
02:34:48.040 --> 02:34:50.959
that was that was probably it was
recent. It was one of the one

1993
02:34:52.000 --> 02:34:54.959
of the Bond films. It might
have been Casino Royale actually might have been.

1994
02:34:56.040 --> 02:34:58.239
I feel like playing around with this
idea that you know, in a

1995
02:34:58.280 --> 02:35:01.799
Netflix world where you can do forty
projects, one hundred hour projects. Why

1996
02:35:01.879 --> 02:35:05.840
hasn't someone taken a classic novel and
tried to represent every page of said novel

1997
02:35:05.879 --> 02:35:09.440
on the screen as opposed to trying
to, you know, sum it all

1998
02:35:09.520 --> 02:35:11.159
up at an hour and a half. And Tom did some research. J

1999
02:35:11.159 --> 02:35:13.920
your co chairman. I've been thinking
a lot about Jack's idea of filming a

2000
02:35:13.959 --> 02:35:16.799
novel page by page, something obviously
easter to do as a TV series,

2001
02:35:16.879 --> 02:35:22.920
but readily really definitely conceptually more interesting
as a film. We've talked about experiential

2002
02:35:22.399 --> 02:35:26.159
experimental films before that you do in
real time where the audience sleeps at the

2003
02:35:26.159 --> 02:35:30.159
same time the characters on screen sleep, and when the characters wake up at

2004
02:35:30.200 --> 02:35:33.000
six am or whatever, the film
continues whether the audience, who has slept

2005
02:35:33.040 --> 02:35:35.959
in the theater is up or not. Jack's idea is obviously much more palatable,

2006
02:35:37.000 --> 02:35:39.840
but similar in theory. As Jack
pointed out, Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of

2007
02:35:39.920 --> 02:35:43.000
Tristram Shandy is a great example of
trying to adhere to themes of a book

2008
02:35:43.040 --> 02:35:46.319
that is Jack noted as near impossible
to film. Pete Anderson's in Here Advice

2009
02:35:46.600 --> 02:35:50.600
is page by page for a while
and then loses the thread and kind of

2010
02:35:50.600 --> 02:35:52.840
becomes a mess. To Kill a
Mockingbird and Green Mile are often cited as

2011
02:35:52.840 --> 02:35:56.559
the most accurate adaptations of all times. Stephen King was particularly fond of Green

2012
02:35:56.639 --> 02:36:00.680
Mile, but neither is still anything
close to what you are talking about.

2013
02:36:01.079 --> 02:36:03.760
The two projects that come to mind
that are in this realm but aren't based

2014
02:36:03.799 --> 02:36:07.159
on books is Charlie Kaufman's Senectady,
New York. I remember hearing about it,

2015
02:36:07.200 --> 02:36:15.159
but it never saw it. And
Iyah Krassamski's deau Cinema Senectai New York

2016
02:36:15.479 --> 02:36:20.079
features a theater director using his Arthur
Fellowship to create a piece of brutalist realism

2017
02:36:20.280 --> 02:36:22.680
where he tries to recreate all the
pain of his real life at an experimental

2018
02:36:22.760 --> 02:36:26.399
theater piece. Kind of a depiction
of what might happen if a director actually

2019
02:36:26.479 --> 02:36:31.120
tried to adapt a specially difficult material
page by page. Interesting, definitely worth

2020
02:36:31.159 --> 02:36:35.360
your time if you haven't seen it
it allth Admittedly it tends to elicit fairly

2021
02:36:35.399 --> 02:36:39.440
strong opinions. Ilia Krasamsky's dau Cinema
project began in two thousand and seven as

2022
02:36:39.440 --> 02:36:45.639
a feature attempting to be the most
realistic depiction of the post Stalinist Soviet Union

2023
02:36:45.719 --> 02:36:50.440
ever made, eventually morphed into multiple
films and other art pieces meant to use

2024
02:36:50.520 --> 02:36:54.680
film to accurately provide a living memorial, essentially a real reenactment of Soviet life.

2025
02:36:56.120 --> 02:36:58.840
As absurd as that sounds, Wow, this is getting there. GQ

2026
02:37:00.159 --> 02:37:03.200
visited the set of DAU in twenty
eleven and wrote about the insanity that was

2027
02:37:03.280 --> 02:37:05.079
going on there even then, as
the film had evolved into a really occult

2028
02:37:05.159 --> 02:37:09.719
even at that point. The first
films to come out of DAU didn't premiere

2029
02:37:09.799 --> 02:37:13.760
until nine years later at the Berlinale, right before the pandemic. I have

2030
02:37:13.879 --> 02:37:16.479
watched most of the films, and
it might be close to what you'd get

2031
02:37:16.520 --> 02:37:20.479
if you tried page by page,
something like Thomas Pinson's V or maybe Caz's

2032
02:37:20.639 --> 02:37:24.399
Sometimes a Great Nation. I don't
know. The whole thing is utterly insane,

2033
02:37:24.760 --> 02:37:28.760
and the movies themselves are a mixed
bag. There was a real brilliance

2034
02:37:28.760 --> 02:37:31.440
and a few of them, and
self indulgent shite in others. It's hard

2035
02:37:31.479 --> 02:37:33.280
to get your head around. But
thought, as you were masters of the

2036
02:37:33.280 --> 02:37:37.639
postmodern uber modern arts, you might
get a kick out of exploring it a

2037
02:37:37.719 --> 02:37:41.000
bit. Definitely nothing. I didn't
know Uber was doing modern arts now instead

2038
02:37:41.000 --> 02:37:46.680
of just all yeah, as long
as as long as you know they're not

2039
02:37:46.799 --> 02:37:50.399
responsible for your car, that's true. Definitely nothing else quite like DAU and

2040
02:37:50.440 --> 02:37:54.079
the history of Cinema. Here's the
official link to DAU World, and I've

2041
02:37:54.079 --> 02:37:56.920
also attached the gqu article which you
made run across before I got to check

2042
02:37:56.959 --> 02:38:01.440
these out. This is fucking dangerous. The something that I'll come back a

2043
02:38:01.559 --> 02:38:09.239
changed man. Yes, I think
so. DAU Cinema, Wow, all

2044
02:38:13.040 --> 02:38:15.600
the conclusion. I'd like Jack's idea. There's definitely something there. Picking the

2045
02:38:15.680 --> 02:38:18.360
right book that could attract the financing
is an interesting puzzle in itself, but

2046
02:38:18.440 --> 02:38:20.719
definitely fascinating to consider. Thanks for
everything, as usual, especially the food

2047
02:38:20.760 --> 02:38:24.000
for thought you've been shoving down our
gullets in the first few months of the

2048
02:38:24.040 --> 02:38:26.840
TLFX celebration. Gonna be a banner
year already, is yours and Cinamania Tom

2049
02:38:28.319 --> 02:38:31.959
exactly true. The book is Gulliver's
Travels. If you ask me, that's

2050
02:38:33.000 --> 02:38:37.760
the book, page by page.
Yeah, man. Brian Ferriss, always

2051
02:38:37.760 --> 02:38:41.639
such a strong supporter, sends us
some cake and says heading to Saudi Thursday.

2052
02:38:43.600 --> 02:38:45.879
I just found out about it yesterday. Salute. I think he's back.

2053
02:38:46.280 --> 02:38:48.760
I watched the crappy pl Saturday,
but somehow with my CoA chairs,

2054
02:38:48.760 --> 02:38:50.280
describing the action always makes it sound
a couple of stars better. In my

2055
02:38:50.319 --> 02:38:54.079
book, wife is less than thrilled. I'm going, and honestly so am

2056
02:38:54.120 --> 02:38:56.840
I. But this dropping tonight was
just what I needed. I'll be back

2057
02:38:56.879 --> 02:38:58.799
in four long alcohol free weeks.
Here's fifty bucks drink one for me.

2058
02:39:00.079 --> 02:39:03.600
Thank you, Brian. Brian's a
great exerciser of another option that you have

2059
02:39:03.639 --> 02:39:07.120
at your disposal. If you don't
want to sign up for Patreon, you

2060
02:39:07.200 --> 02:39:09.120
can just type the lapsed fan at
gmail dot com into your PayPal and drop

2061
02:39:09.159 --> 02:39:13.399
a digital tip in that fucking jar
and keep us going. We got an

2062
02:39:13.440 --> 02:39:16.399
incredible surprise gift, which is a
great wind at our sales as we were

2063
02:39:16.440 --> 02:39:22.239
heading into Philly. It made us
that much more confident and secure and being

2064
02:39:22.280 --> 02:39:28.280
able to spend what it took to
deliver an experience to not only ourselves but

2065
02:39:28.840 --> 02:39:33.319
very much the listeners and the followers
on Patreon. So yeah, that was

2066
02:39:35.319 --> 02:39:37.360
It's just it just tends to happen
that way, you know. It does.

2067
02:39:37.840 --> 02:39:41.559
All of a sudden, someone has
like Kevin Gleeson, we want to

2068
02:39:41.600 --> 02:39:45.040
thank you so much for sending us
big time cake just as we were heading

2069
02:39:45.040 --> 02:39:46.760
out, and he wrote being a
bitch for literally a decade, see you

2070
02:39:46.840 --> 02:39:54.239
in Philly. That's what this money's
for, you know, it's it's a

2071
02:39:54.280 --> 02:40:00.680
special thing, and long may it
continue. Let's see this one here from

2072
02:40:00.760 --> 02:40:07.920
Sean and we're gonna get this to
the boss here. It's mail backtime bosses.

2073
02:40:07.920 --> 02:40:11.239
You know. Oh you're damn right, Spring twenty twenty four. Go

2074
02:40:11.280 --> 02:40:16.520
ahead. It's a cliche and joke
these days to say men will do anything

2075
02:40:16.559 --> 02:40:22.719
except go to therapy. Well,
wrestling is my therapy, and that fucking

2076
02:40:22.920 --> 02:40:24.959
cast is a big part of that. Don't get me wrong. I go

2077
02:40:26.079 --> 02:40:28.840
to real therapy too, but without
a few hours a week of rectal wreckage

2078
02:40:28.879 --> 02:40:33.879
from TLF, I'm just not the
same. I wish I could say that

2079
02:40:33.040 --> 02:40:37.120
I have a specific memory that I'm
looking up on LATS, but unfortunately a

2080
02:40:37.200 --> 02:40:43.879
life of epilepsy impossible, probably probable
CTE from being an indie wrestler myself has

2081
02:40:45.000 --> 02:40:48.680
ruined my memory and is a big
contributing factory to my depression and anxiety.

2082
02:40:48.159 --> 02:40:52.319
Memories come and go like snippets.
What I do know is that I found

2083
02:40:52.360 --> 02:40:56.760
TLF by happenstance during the Ben Wah
tragedy Deep Dive. I was a funeral

2084
02:40:56.799 --> 02:41:01.520
director at the time and listened for
hours while driving around the city picking up

2085
02:41:03.079 --> 02:41:05.760
bodies. A few months later,
as I was getting back into being an

2086
02:41:05.799 --> 02:41:11.120
active part of wrestling by becoming a
manager and commentator, safely away from any

2087
02:41:11.200 --> 02:41:16.159
more shots to the head, cabana
man Dan and I were in the locker

2088
02:41:16.239 --> 02:41:20.719
room laughing and talking about uncooked,
uncut, uncooked and uncensored. It's raw.

2089
02:41:20.319 --> 02:41:24.559
And now, seven years later,
as I do commentary and occasionally agent

2090
02:41:24.079 --> 02:41:30.520
matches for Spartan Pro Wrestling, sometimes
I sometimes have to remind our students that

2091
02:41:30.719 --> 02:41:33.440
while we work our asses off and
should be proud of what we do,

2092
02:41:33.959 --> 02:41:46.479
never forget that wrestling is still fake
fighting ye bullshit amazing and should be taken

2093
02:41:46.520 --> 02:41:48.879
with a grain of salt. Amazing. In the weeks between shows, helping

2094
02:41:48.920 --> 02:41:52.920
these young indie wrestlers as best I
can in ways that will hopefully benefit them

2095
02:41:54.040 --> 02:41:56.399
doing it because I didn't have the
same help to the same extent, I

2096
02:41:56.520 --> 02:42:00.600
turn on TIA left to laugh to
remember when it was better to start a

2097
02:42:00.639 --> 02:42:05.479
conversation in my head about something the
co chairs that that I might agree with

2098
02:42:05.760 --> 02:42:09.479
or disagree with. To push the
goddamn intrusive thoughts away, just so I

2099
02:42:09.600 --> 02:42:11.840
can hang out with my wife and
my daughter and not be a distant,

2100
02:42:11.959 --> 02:42:16.559
fake shell of a person, so
I can be my fucking self again for

2101
02:42:16.639 --> 02:42:20.680
a few days. Thank you for
bringing this entertainment branded vehicular sports themed audio

2102
02:42:20.840 --> 02:42:26.239
programming that so many of us need. Thank you for the time and effort

2103
02:42:26.319 --> 02:42:30.399
in fucking hours put it to put
into a wrestling podcast that literally no other

2104
02:42:30.440 --> 02:42:35.280
wrestling podcast has the fucking balls to
do. I know, I wish,

2105
02:42:35.399 --> 02:42:37.959
like many other members of the Solar
System do. I'm sure that we could

2106
02:42:39.040 --> 02:42:41.079
thank you more, but a few
months at a time donating on Patreon is

2107
02:42:41.200 --> 02:42:48.399
all I can do besides this email. So thank you, Salute you,

2108
02:42:48.520 --> 02:42:52.440
sir, Scott Scott Resner. That's
correct. Fuck it, let's go all

2109
02:42:52.520 --> 02:42:58.760
right, get in on that circle, do the right thing. Will went

2110
02:42:58.799 --> 02:43:01.559
through up our best pal makes it
great point. Oh boy. The Vince

2111
02:43:01.600 --> 02:43:05.360
McMahon story would need to be told
in a TV series with multiple actors of

2112
02:43:05.399 --> 02:43:09.559
different ages taking on the role,
similar to the Crown and for current Vince

2113
02:43:09.600 --> 02:43:13.840
he's putting forward ray Wise. Oh, it's a good one. I don't

2114
02:43:13.879 --> 02:43:16.440
know what ray Wise do. I
Yeah, he's good. He's a great,

2115
02:43:16.520 --> 02:43:22.760
great actor. I still god just
like him in some way. He's

2116
02:43:22.760 --> 02:43:26.719
got a lot, he's got like
the same pampadour hair. Yeah, yeah,

2117
02:43:26.040 --> 02:43:31.680
I still think I still stay with
with with Brolin. I think Brolin

2118
02:43:31.680 --> 02:43:33.120
would be the fucking money one.
But no, But how about this notion

2119
02:43:33.239 --> 02:43:37.360
of different vinces different I do like
that for different eras. For sure,

2120
02:43:37.559 --> 02:43:41.799
that's a great idea. I can
see a team that you remember that that

2121
02:43:41.959 --> 02:43:50.479
fucking uh oh god, I can't
think of the goddamn guy. He's a

2122
02:43:50.440 --> 02:43:52.959
give me anything to go on here, pal, I know he's Uh,

2123
02:43:54.680 --> 02:44:03.479
he's a legendary singer, a weird, weird voice. Oh my god,

2124
02:44:05.840 --> 02:44:09.559
this is good for what this person? This the reason that they did a

2125
02:44:09.639 --> 02:44:18.319
movie about him that was played by
different actors of different genders as well.

2126
02:44:20.000 --> 02:44:28.600
Yeah, the fuck uh Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan. Jesus, So they

2127
02:44:28.639 --> 02:44:31.600
did a movie about Bob Dylan different
actors for different points of his life.

2128
02:44:31.799 --> 02:44:35.120
Yeah, and like different, Like
it's not a real accurate it's called I'm

2129
02:44:35.159 --> 02:44:43.559
not there it's not a completely accurate, like it's more thematically accurate of a

2130
02:44:43.639 --> 02:44:46.799
biopic, like yeah, they say
six right, they different they do,

2131
02:44:48.079 --> 02:44:54.799
like different different eras of his life, different actors play him, Like even

2132
02:44:54.879 --> 02:44:58.840
Kate planned Chett plays him at one
point. Yeah, I think that'd be

2133
02:44:58.920 --> 02:45:03.360
totally So that's a great idea for
Vince. Yeah, because that's the thing.

2134
02:45:03.520 --> 02:45:05.200
He's totally different people. I mean, he probably has the same deep

2135
02:45:05.239 --> 02:45:11.120
inner monologue, but I mean the
Vince that's like sitting at his desk doing

2136
02:45:11.159 --> 02:45:13.600
interviews in nineteen eighty five about this
thing being on NBC and how they actually,

2137
02:45:13.959 --> 02:45:16.920
you know, take it, take
it as seriously as any scripted drama

2138
02:45:18.000 --> 02:45:20.959
and Dick eversol vouching for him,
and he's sort of like, you know,

2139
02:45:20.040 --> 02:45:24.440
the one that was on David Letterman
New Years and eighty four doing the

2140
02:45:24.479 --> 02:45:28.879
New Year's Baby thing. I remember
we looked at that. That's a different

2141
02:45:28.959 --> 02:45:31.840
Vince, the one that's half like
cup salesman and half wrestling TV announcer.

2142
02:45:31.959 --> 02:45:35.600
Yes, still trying to win his
father's favor kind of being let in the

2143
02:45:35.639 --> 02:45:39.040
front door of the business, versus
the Vince that was going to East Carolina

2144
02:45:39.079 --> 02:45:45.239
and trying to like make his make
his way in the world independent of pro

2145
02:45:45.319 --> 02:45:48.520
wrestling, perhaps, I mean especially
one of Matt Linda fascinating if you look,

2146
02:45:48.639 --> 02:46:00.799
I mean especially you know Ray Wise
in Twin Peaks, m specifically the

2147
02:46:00.959 --> 02:46:11.879
movie he is so fucking creepy,
and he is so horrifying in Fire Walk

2148
02:46:11.920 --> 02:46:20.000
with Me that it would be he
would be great as like as as creepy

2149
02:46:20.440 --> 02:46:28.000
Vince, you know, as as
as perverted, as as the diabolical Vince

2150
02:46:28.079 --> 02:46:33.479
that we have been exposed to in
recent months. Fascinating. Yep, so

2151
02:46:33.559 --> 02:46:35.680
he would be. He would be
the final boss one. Oh yeah,

2152
02:46:37.799 --> 02:46:45.319
I was thinking Richard Lewis before he
died, Poor Richard Lewis. I just

2153
02:46:45.399 --> 02:46:48.959
finished watching Finish, Yes I did. I did, like something, isn't

2154
02:46:50.000 --> 02:46:52.079
it? It was? It was, it was great. I loved it.

2155
02:46:52.600 --> 02:46:58.920
I love yeah, Yeah, I
mean I there's you know whenever they

2156
02:46:58.040 --> 02:47:05.680
have whenever, like I love that
they that they sparingly had Jerry Seinfeld in

2157
02:47:05.840 --> 02:47:11.159
the series, like just very minimal, which is great because the times that

2158
02:47:11.239 --> 02:47:16.799
he is there, it's so fucking
money. Yeah, it's like rock coming

2159
02:47:16.840 --> 02:47:22.440
back to right right, Like the
exchanges they have there's such like you can

2160
02:47:22.840 --> 02:47:28.920
just the the it would be like, you know, like the two of

2161
02:47:30.040 --> 02:47:33.280
us doing a movie scene, like
if I was doing a whole if if

2162
02:47:33.280 --> 02:47:35.799
one of us is doing a show, and then we just had a couple

2163
02:47:35.840 --> 02:47:39.200
of guest appearances and just said just
do whatever, and like we just rambly,

2164
02:47:39.719 --> 02:47:41.479
you know, ramble on about weird
shit and talk about King of the

2165
02:47:41.559 --> 02:47:46.879
Ring ninety three and you know,
and and bizarre puns and shit like that's

2166
02:47:46.920 --> 02:47:50.719
it. And and they're talking about
the you know, if she had a

2167
02:47:50.760 --> 02:47:54.520
beard but she shaved it. Yeah, right, Like it's like, what

2168
02:47:54.600 --> 02:47:56.520
do you think about in the courtroom? And this is it? This is

2169
02:47:56.520 --> 02:47:58.840
what he fucking thinks about in the
courtroom the whole time about the beard?

2170
02:48:01.280 --> 02:48:07.280
Is it rabbinical? Very rabbinical.
Ah, we're going to miss that show.

2171
02:48:07.360 --> 02:48:13.760
That was the last gasp that right
there of its kind. We want

2172
02:48:13.799 --> 02:48:18.879
to thank a new patron by the
name of the King of connelingis the master

2173
02:48:18.959 --> 02:48:22.920
of Dictionary, the Duke of Doggie
style Morgism, than the schism Dick the

2174
02:48:24.000 --> 02:48:30.600
cock Johnson. We'll take it right
in the wallet. Something that's available to

2175
02:48:30.719 --> 02:48:35.000
MOAT tier members that's occasional but very
special that we decide only to share with

2176
02:48:35.079 --> 02:48:39.200
them is the call mm hm.
When we find out about someone of prominence

2177
02:48:39.239 --> 02:48:43.280
in wrestling business passing away, as
any longtime listener to the show now is

2178
02:48:43.319 --> 02:48:46.600
our tradition between us is to make
the call to see who can be the

2179
02:48:46.639 --> 02:48:48.959
first to call the other to make
the announcement. And of course the call

2180
02:48:48.079 --> 02:48:54.040
is simply the name of the dearly
departed. We decided why not, you

2181
02:48:54.120 --> 02:48:56.639
know, if if if the moat
tear is going to be, you know,

2182
02:48:56.040 --> 02:48:58.680
closer to the heart of the cast, in the heart of the co

2183
02:48:58.799 --> 02:49:05.200
chair, why not share with that
exclusive company that this idea. And when

2184
02:49:05.239 --> 02:49:09.799
Only Anderson passed away, dig I
was able to get Boss you know on

2185
02:49:09.920 --> 02:49:13.559
the horn to record his immediate reaction
just to the name Only Anderson, but

2186
02:49:13.639 --> 02:49:16.920
also the passing of Virgil. Oh
yes, and the reaction to the Virgil

2187
02:49:18.000 --> 02:49:20.879
news was huge and said in motion. Of course, the tribute shows that

2188
02:49:20.959 --> 02:49:22.159
we did that. You're going to
hear some pieces of feedback from here at

2189
02:49:22.200 --> 02:49:28.000
a moment. But folks like Vernon
pointing out this makes only and Virgil I

2190
02:49:28.040 --> 02:49:30.600
found out via the call. Okay, folks are finding out about this.

2191
02:49:30.920 --> 02:49:33.000
Yeah, yes, our Patreon,
Yes, that's how lapps. They are

2192
02:49:33.360 --> 02:49:37.959
Oh, they find out on our
Patreon before they find out anywhere else that

2193
02:49:37.079 --> 02:49:41.559
Virgil died. Austin writes, this
is becoming my preferred way of finding out

2194
02:49:41.559 --> 02:49:48.079
about wrestler deaths. It's amazing,
Zach writes. When I hear these,

2195
02:49:48.120 --> 02:49:52.440
I almost feel like the moats tier, the mote tears. Existence is killing

2196
02:49:52.520 --> 02:49:56.319
people. Jesus, doctor Wiz.
Pip, thanks for the increase in pledge.

2197
02:49:56.360 --> 02:50:00.520
We appreciate it. Mark Sullivan,
welcome into the en circle. My

2198
02:50:00.600 --> 02:50:03.760
friend, Ian Forsyth, thanks for
the cake. Mack mud Almarty, thank

2199
02:50:03.799 --> 02:50:05.799
you very much, my friend for
the pledge. Scott Sudokof great to see

2200
02:50:05.840 --> 02:50:09.879
him in Philadelphia. Oh yeah,
I appreciate the recent bump up and pledge.

2201
02:50:09.000 --> 02:50:11.559
My man, thanks very much.
Timothy Wiss, thank you very much

2202
02:50:13.360 --> 02:50:16.760
for the cake. Mike points out
we did the Hogan thing that. Not

2203
02:50:16.879 --> 02:50:20.840
only did the Madison Square Garden program
the night he defeated the Aron Chiek mention

2204
02:50:20.959 --> 02:50:24.719
Hogan's blasty connection, but so did
Backlan when endorsing Hogan, saying Hogan told

2205
02:50:24.760 --> 02:50:28.040
me he's not running around with Blassy
anymore. We talked about how wow,

2206
02:50:28.120 --> 02:50:31.479
last I've seen him on one of
the double oh seven episodes. Carlos Stallion

2207
02:50:31.520 --> 02:50:35.120
rights after watching Doctor No again for
the first time since I was a kid

2208
02:50:35.159 --> 02:50:37.079
when I rented all the Bond movies
in Beta Max in the eighties. I've

2209
02:50:37.120 --> 02:50:41.719
got two takeaways. One, Double
O seven has desires, Yes, Two

2210
02:50:43.680 --> 02:50:50.000
Double O seven has needs. That's
all true, pretty well established. Yes,

2211
02:50:50.120 --> 02:50:54.920
absolutely definitely. I think Double O
seven it's very It's a very accurate

2212
02:50:54.920 --> 02:50:58.600
statement to say he has desires,
and I think it's an equally accurate statement

2213
02:50:58.600 --> 02:51:05.239
to say that he has needs,
and he will fulfill both desires. Every

2214
02:51:05.280 --> 02:51:09.159
every single movie he seems to he
will fulfill desire and necessity to his heart

2215
02:51:09.200 --> 02:51:13.639
looking at what he wants, Yes, and what he wants melts before him.

2216
02:51:13.719 --> 02:51:18.920
That's right, very simile. Pushy
our pal Moondog Murray writes the following,

2217
02:51:20.280 --> 02:51:22.319
Terry Funk Forever here, co Chairs. I want to start by thanking

2218
02:51:22.360 --> 02:51:24.799
you for reading my email about the
fak a w a show I wrestled on.

2219
02:51:26.680 --> 02:51:28.000
Actually had another member of the Solar
System reach out to me about that.

2220
02:51:28.000 --> 02:51:31.760
I recently celebrated three years and two
hundred matches wrestled in the Midwest,

2221
02:51:31.840 --> 02:51:35.399
California and Texas. Very cool.
Anyways, I just want to thank you

2222
02:51:35.440 --> 02:51:37.600
both for going in depth that you
always do in these journeys. However,

2223
02:51:37.639 --> 02:51:39.879
there was something special about the Lapsed
Funk Journey. Every episode I listen to

2224
02:51:39.920 --> 02:51:43.200
while on the way to shows I
was working, and on the way home,

2225
02:51:43.399 --> 02:51:46.280
each layer of terror you both noticed, whether it was watching his matches

2226
02:51:46.360 --> 02:51:48.959
or listening to his promos and shoot
interviews, helped me better understand pro wrestling.

2227
02:51:50.079 --> 02:51:52.639
Yes, miss and accomplished. Fuck
It. Lapsed Funk Journey, I

2228
02:51:52.719 --> 02:51:56.799
feel has made me better understand my
role and gave me ideas on how to

2229
02:51:56.879 --> 02:51:58.319
sell, how to do promos,
how to work, and most importantly,

2230
02:51:58.360 --> 02:52:01.920
how to make my and it looked
like a monster in the ring, the

2231
02:52:01.000 --> 02:52:05.360
bashful babyface. The appreciation of fans
and understanding there's no us without them.

2232
02:52:05.399 --> 02:52:09.879
You'd be surprised how many wrestlers on
the gudias and even worse promoters forget that.

2233
02:52:09.280 --> 02:52:11.879
Now I approach fans and mingle with
them with the intention of connecting with

2234
02:52:13.000 --> 02:52:15.479
them, make them feel like I'm
their guy fighting for them in there as

2235
02:52:15.520 --> 02:52:18.360
well as sell some gimmicks. That
was another thing I picked up on with

2236
02:52:18.479 --> 02:52:20.280
Terry during the journey was him connecting
enough with the people, but also being

2237
02:52:20.280 --> 02:52:24.479
able to make money off those same
people merchant ticket wise. Yeah, it's

2238
02:52:24.200 --> 02:52:28.040
so how it should be. Yeah, right, yep. You don't have

2239
02:52:28.159 --> 02:52:31.840
to you don't have to trick people
into supporting you financially. You just have

2240
02:52:31.920 --> 02:52:37.520
to deliver for them. It's very
simple. There's no there's no voodoo involved.

2241
02:52:37.680 --> 02:52:41.079
You just deliver and they're more than
happy to pay. And if they're

2242
02:52:41.159 --> 02:52:43.639
not, then you know, fuck
them, right, I mean, they're

2243
02:52:43.680 --> 02:52:46.360
they're going to float away eventually anyway. You can't concern yourself with them.

2244
02:52:48.840 --> 02:52:50.760
And yeah, that's that's what Terry
Funk's career stands and testament to. We

2245
02:52:50.840 --> 02:52:54.440
just read an email a little bit
before in this very show about how much

2246
02:52:54.440 --> 02:52:56.719
of that autograph meant to that guy. Right, it's exactly that's Terry Funk.

2247
02:52:56.959 --> 02:53:00.319
Okay, you can get autographs from
anybody, but you not going to

2248
02:53:00.360 --> 02:53:03.879
remember it like you did at Terry
funk autograph. Because he understood every single

2249
02:53:05.319 --> 02:53:07.920
dimension of being a pro wrestler in
out of the ring. He knew how

2250
02:53:07.920 --> 02:53:11.479
to be a pro wrestler twenty four
to seven in a way where he can

2251
02:53:11.520 --> 02:53:13.159
look in the camera and say,
I live the way I want to live

2252
02:53:13.239 --> 02:53:16.840
now without having a kiss Fince's ass
as he told Dark Side of the Ring

2253
02:53:16.879 --> 02:53:22.799
and the Unheard podcast that we help
with amazing. When it came time for

2254
02:53:22.879 --> 02:53:24.079
me to listen to the final episode, I was on my way to a

2255
02:53:24.120 --> 02:53:28.120
show in the Green Bay, Wisconsin
area. You were both watching Terry's actual

2256
02:53:28.200 --> 02:53:31.719
last match. When I heard the
opening chords to Desperado and hearing you both

2257
02:53:31.760 --> 02:53:35.079
describers we were seeing, I broke
down and cried because I knew the long

2258
02:53:35.200 --> 02:53:37.879
lapsed Funk journey was just about over. It was thanks to this journey I

2259
02:53:37.959 --> 02:53:39.639
became an even bigger Terry Funk fan, and I learned so much listening to

2260
02:53:39.760 --> 02:53:43.959
it. Knowing wrestling is now without
someone of his Staturette crushed me. I

2261
02:53:43.000 --> 02:53:46.639
couldn't help it be sad. However, it also lit a fire under me

2262
02:53:46.680 --> 02:53:48.680
and I went on to have a
pretty fun match. I walked in the

2263
02:53:48.719 --> 02:53:50.559
match with the Funker in the back
of my mind. When it came to

2264
02:53:50.639 --> 02:53:52.280
giving and selling, I worked with
a VET who was very giving himself and

2265
02:53:52.319 --> 02:53:54.799
even out of his way to change
the finish from him going over to me

2266
02:53:54.879 --> 02:53:58.440
going over instead. In an Indian
wrestling world full of selfish, never was

2267
02:53:58.559 --> 02:54:01.719
vet's clutching out of their spots and
these local feds. There's guys like my

2268
02:54:01.760 --> 02:54:05.159
opponent that night, Joey Avalon.
There's guys like Vic Capri, who recently

2269
02:54:05.159 --> 02:54:09.120
started slowing down after twenty five years
and had one of his last matches at

2270
02:54:09.120 --> 02:54:11.440
my home promotion, giving his top
student most of the match before finally putting

2271
02:54:11.520 --> 02:54:16.319
him over clean her overclean. There
are vets who are like Terry Funk when

2272
02:54:16.360 --> 02:54:18.959
it comes to giving Thinking about those
vets that look out over the newer guys

2273
02:54:20.319 --> 02:54:24.079
like myself was another reason I cried
hearing Desperado one last time. Because Justice

2274
02:54:24.120 --> 02:54:26.719
Wrestling is worse without the Funker.
It'll be worse without them as well.

2275
02:54:26.959 --> 02:54:31.239
I hope to follow on theirs and
Funk's footsteps when it comes to giving back.

2276
02:54:31.719 --> 02:54:33.360
Finally, I'll end with this while
listeners piss and moan about the length

2277
02:54:33.399 --> 02:54:37.120
of these journeys you both do.
I always hate when they have to end.

2278
02:54:37.479 --> 02:54:39.520
That's right. The ending to the
lapsed Funk hurt the worst, but

2279
02:54:39.600 --> 02:54:43.399
it hurts so good. That is
what makes TLF that fucking cast. That

2280
02:54:43.520 --> 02:54:48.360
is why TLF will always remain supreme
over any other wrestling podcast out there.

2281
02:54:48.479 --> 02:54:50.840
Thank you Moon. Doug Murray,
well, thank you sir. Keep up

2282
02:54:50.840 --> 02:54:54.959
the good work and glad to be
a wind at your sales. Brett Hamilton,

2283
02:54:54.040 --> 02:54:56.239
thanks for the cake man. Welcome
in. We appreciate the pledge.

2284
02:54:56.280 --> 02:55:01.079
JF Welcome in. Very good stuff. Dylan wants us to know why Putsky

2285
02:55:01.159 --> 02:55:07.760
bladed. He talked about this and
that Genuary twenty fourth, nineteen eighty four

2286
02:55:07.760 --> 02:55:11.200
show that we did Hogan winning the
title was twenty fourth, Right Yeah,

2287
02:55:11.280 --> 02:55:18.239
Jenner, thirty fourth, nineteen eighty
four, according to my sources, Dylan

2288
02:55:18.239 --> 02:55:20.159
writes on Patreon, which, by
the way, is another reason to subscribe

2289
02:55:20.159 --> 02:55:24.319
to the Patreon because of the banter
oh yeah comments under the show files.

2290
02:55:24.399 --> 02:55:28.319
The ad free versions of our show, by the way, just amazingly hilarious

2291
02:55:28.360 --> 02:55:35.559
and insightful and helpful background contexts,
comments, witticisms from the best listenership and

2292
02:55:35.639 --> 02:55:39.399
podcasting. According to my sources,
this is exactly what happened. Dylan writes,

2293
02:55:39.760 --> 02:55:43.559
Putsky was looking out at the house
in Madison Square Garden with Howard Finkel,

2294
02:55:43.879 --> 02:55:46.479
and while it was mostly full,
he noticed some scattered patches of empty

2295
02:55:46.520 --> 02:55:52.799
red seats. So we told Fink
do it, at which time Fink on

2296
02:55:52.879 --> 02:55:56.120
on a special PA mic that addressed
not on the inside but the outside of

2297
02:55:56.200 --> 02:56:00.280
the garden. Fink's voice rang out
in the streets of New York announcing attention,

2298
02:56:00.399 --> 02:56:07.440
ladies and gentlemen, Ivan Putski will
be gouging his forehead with a tiny

2299
02:56:07.559 --> 02:56:13.000
sharp piece of metal at tonight's show. People with an earshot casually going about

2300
02:56:13.000 --> 02:56:16.360
their business then promptly decided to change
their plans for the evening and clicked those

2301
02:56:16.760 --> 02:56:22.280
turnstiles. The boys in the locker
rooms today just don't understand that level of

2302
02:56:22.360 --> 02:56:26.719
commitmentared to that hie sir atis,
thank you very much for the pledge.

2303
02:56:26.760 --> 02:56:31.159
We appreciate it, Mystic Annabis.
Welcome to the executive producer to here,

2304
02:56:31.239 --> 02:56:35.799
Jim Rocco, rocketing up the the
co chairman's of Favor TOTEM. Thank you

2305
02:56:35.920 --> 02:56:41.360
very much for the continued and full
bodied support. Thanks to Jay Christopher Brown,

2306
02:56:41.639 --> 02:56:45.440
who threw an extra donation in via
PayPal in honor of a tlf X.

2307
02:56:45.479 --> 02:56:48.399
We always appreciate your support, buddy, Thanks very much. A great

2308
02:56:48.479 --> 02:56:50.040
question from Ali, he writes,
Dear Jack and JP, do you think

2309
02:56:50.120 --> 02:56:54.000
Rihea Ripley is coming for rips Heat? And he put a picture rip them

2310
02:56:54.040 --> 02:57:01.079
from Noel's Boy and then he wrote
brother, that's the whole email. Josh

2311
02:57:01.159 --> 02:57:11.040
Goder, who's ripping brother? What
Corey and Winnipeg makes a good point because

2312
02:57:11.079 --> 02:57:13.399
Hogan's mom, Ruth Bolea, is
of course in the locker room before he

2313
02:57:13.440 --> 02:57:18.040
beat Cheek along with his dad on
the interview. Yes, yes, and

2314
02:57:18.079 --> 02:57:18.959
we thought it was the first time
we'd ever seen her in the last time.

2315
02:57:20.000 --> 02:57:22.120
He's a small correction. This would
not be Hogan's mom's only appearance.

2316
02:57:22.159 --> 02:57:28.000
That's inappropriate. She had a pivotal
role in the Mother's Day party in the

2317
02:57:28.040 --> 02:57:31.239
first ever Saturday Night's main event.
For the record, Blass, he steals

2318
02:57:31.280 --> 02:57:35.440
that segment with his mother Laura.
Isn't she Beota Fall? That's a good,

2319
02:57:35.879 --> 02:57:41.000
good call, Mike Bethy, thanks
very much for the plage. We

2320
02:57:41.040 --> 02:57:43.879
appreciate the support. Will Winter Boss
writes the best t LEF episodes with the

2321
02:57:43.879 --> 02:57:46.040
ones where I come out feeling nothing
but shame and embarrassment for your pathetic clowns.

2322
02:57:46.200 --> 02:57:48.479
This is almost as bad as Jack
going to an event where Jericho and

2323
02:57:48.600 --> 02:57:52.159
Leader were reading to school children.
Absolutely pathetic. Can't wait for John sorrow

2324
02:57:52.959 --> 02:58:01.120
line at Pro Wrestling teas the attribute
to Virgil as we went through with your

2325
02:58:01.200 --> 02:58:09.639
dad and others. Yes, okay, what's this here? Trevor sent us

2326
02:58:09.719 --> 02:58:13.760
screen grab. He writes, listening
to the brilliant Virgil tribute, I felt

2327
02:58:13.760 --> 02:58:16.360
the urge to share the sad news
of his passing with my dad. See

2328
02:58:16.360 --> 02:58:22.120
the attachment, and it's a text
Virgil died. Reply, remind me who's

2329
02:58:22.159 --> 02:58:24.399
Virgil and that has had a picture
of Virgil And then all the dad says

2330
02:58:24.440 --> 02:58:33.719
is, oh, okay, that's
the end. Steve writes, Papa Sorrow's

2331
02:58:33.719 --> 02:58:35.120
description of what it's like to be
a parent of a wrestling fan is my

2332
02:58:35.200 --> 02:58:39.280
mother and grandparents rolled in a one. Condolences for the end of the original

2333
02:58:39.360 --> 02:58:43.280
laps Icon Virgil of course to the
Solar members. Yeah, he really nailed

2334
02:58:43.319 --> 02:58:46.479
it on that one. Yep,
Timothy Wise, thanks for the increase in

2335
02:58:46.520 --> 02:58:50.520
pledge. We appreciate the support.
Christopherdamar's long time support. Are going all

2336
02:58:50.959 --> 02:58:54.159
sums up to you know, I
need to support my child, but how

2337
02:58:54.200 --> 02:58:58.680
do I support my child? It's
exactly a what comes through and what he

2338
02:58:58.760 --> 02:59:03.200
said, Yeah, it's perfect.
It was like exactly what all dads think,

2339
02:59:03.399 --> 02:59:05.440
Yeah, when they're not wrestling fans
and their kids get into it.

2340
02:59:07.920 --> 02:59:11.920
Poll cautiously writes on Patreon, I'm
ready to do this affair, quoting who

2341
02:59:13.479 --> 02:59:18.520
who but Mike Virgil Jones. I'm
ready to do this affair. I forget

2342
02:59:18.559 --> 02:59:24.079
there. It is to this affair. Neil writes. Virgil's best era was

2343
02:59:24.120 --> 02:59:26.680
as a job or to the Stars
from ninety two to ninety three, after

2344
02:59:26.760 --> 02:59:30.399
his initial post faded. He had
the responsibility of putting guys over who were

2345
02:59:30.440 --> 02:59:31.600
on their way up the card.
It seemed like every wrestler who came in

2346
02:59:31.680 --> 02:59:35.280
had to get by Virgil first on
their way to the bigger and better things

2347
02:59:35.360 --> 02:59:37.360
Yo Kuzuna, Raiser, Ramone,
Dooink Nails, Lex Lugret, et cetera.

2348
02:59:39.000 --> 02:59:41.639
Verge would get some jabs in and
a few hope spots before getting beaten

2349
02:59:41.719 --> 02:59:43.799
soundly. Was a good role for
him, and he still had the crowd

2350
02:59:43.799 --> 02:59:45.760
behind him, even though the outcome
is obvious. What do you think,

2351
02:59:45.799 --> 02:59:48.399
boss, was that Virgil more valuable
to the company than the ninety one million

2352
02:59:48.399 --> 02:59:54.760
dollars champions valuable? Yeah? Probably? Hmmm, you know, because like,

2353
02:59:54.879 --> 02:59:58.879
I mean, what value did he
actually bring? He? I mean,

2354
03:00:00.079 --> 03:00:03.959
he wasn't necessarily considered a draw.
In ninety one was he I mean,

2355
03:00:03.000 --> 03:00:09.280
he was no, he was just
a you know, it was he

2356
03:00:09.479 --> 03:00:11.760
was the bonus sentimental thing, right. It was exactly you know, like

2357
03:00:11.840 --> 03:00:16.360
you don't you don't, you don't
go to see him, but you know

2358
03:00:16.600 --> 03:00:20.000
he he You're happy that he's there
and you and you want to see you

2359
03:00:20.120 --> 03:00:22.719
know, it's like, okay,
I'll also get to see this as well.

2360
03:00:24.520 --> 03:00:26.879
And so yeah, I can see
that in a way, letting up

2361
03:00:26.920 --> 03:00:30.719
Sid for a big money made event
against Hogan, you could probably argue that

2362
03:00:30.799 --> 03:00:35.959
that produced more money than his you
know, absolutely, and so ninety two

2363
03:00:35.079 --> 03:00:37.559
yeah, but be it. You
know that ninety two, ninety three run

2364
03:00:39.239 --> 03:00:41.920
for sure he was, you know, and the way he puts over Yokozuna

2365
03:00:43.079 --> 03:00:46.559
and at Survivor series ninety two,
oh yeah, after you know, when

2366
03:00:46.559 --> 03:00:48.559
he gives he gives Brett Hard a
warning about it, I think it's pretty

2367
03:00:48.559 --> 03:00:54.879
fucking money. I would definitely say
he was more valuable in that regard because

2368
03:00:54.959 --> 03:01:01.000
he he made guys seem credible,
you know, comment for everybody. Now,

2369
03:01:01.120 --> 03:01:03.760
Yeah, yep, Virgil was the
Nails to me, he killed nail.

2370
03:01:05.040 --> 03:01:11.319
Nails killed him to it that the
SummerSlam nails points sound Yoko Razor yep,

2371
03:01:11.479 --> 03:01:13.040
I don't remember a razor, but
I wouldn't doubt that it happened.

2372
03:01:13.680 --> 03:01:20.120
Doink, I remember Doink went over
him on Superstars. I think he also

2373
03:01:20.200 --> 03:01:24.159
writes, does kneel? If Virgil
had the second identity, which you kept

2374
03:01:24.200 --> 03:01:26.719
a secret? Is that why he
was so anxious about getting a check at

2375
03:01:26.719 --> 03:01:33.120
the bachelor party? Oh? That
revelation is to me everything you need to

2376
03:01:33.200 --> 03:01:39.520
know about what what Virgil was all
about. A bank has a basic screening

2377
03:01:39.600 --> 03:01:43.079
process when you open an account to
look for malfeasans. While the criteria is

2378
03:01:43.200 --> 03:01:46.120
usually pretty loose, if you have
a history of overdrafts, suspicious behavior,

2379
03:01:46.319 --> 03:01:48.479
or have used a bank in the
past and connection with the crime, they'll

2380
03:01:48.479 --> 03:01:50.760
flag you. To cash a check, you usually just need a driver's license,

2381
03:01:50.799 --> 03:01:54.079
maybe a utility bill, or something
to verify your address. It's a

2382
03:01:54.159 --> 03:01:56.399
quick transaction. In those cases,
the bank is mostly concerned about if issuer

2383
03:01:56.479 --> 03:02:00.639
is good for the cash. But
that's an interesting point. Maybe Virgil didn't

2384
03:02:00.719 --> 03:02:03.120
like banks. I'm sure. I'm
sure he was freaked out by it,

2385
03:02:03.200 --> 03:02:07.159
you know, wasn't he has as
a shady pass that he was hiding he

2386
03:02:07.239 --> 03:02:09.479
wanted to cash the thing. I'm
not sure he was looking to avoid a

2387
03:02:09.520 --> 03:02:11.719
bank. I just think he just
wanted to cash on hand as opposed to

2388
03:02:11.799 --> 03:02:13.479
Yeah, well, I mean because
that's the thing. You know, what's

2389
03:02:13.520 --> 03:02:16.680
the if he goes to the bank
and you gave him a bad check,

2390
03:02:16.799 --> 03:02:20.639
He's not going to anything for that. That's true. Man, You're never

2391
03:02:20.639 --> 03:02:22.959
going to You're never going to respond, right, and you're never going to

2392
03:02:24.000 --> 03:02:26.479
respond to an email after that.
Again, he knows that. Wow,

2393
03:02:26.600 --> 03:02:30.159
that's a great point. That's a
great point. We'd already paid him up

2394
03:02:30.159 --> 03:02:33.360
front a bit, so it's not
like he made nothing. But uh,

2395
03:02:33.559 --> 03:02:35.600
you know, if we did that
to him, But that's a good that's

2396
03:02:35.639 --> 03:02:37.639
I didn't think of that actually,
And that tells you how uh, how

2397
03:02:37.799 --> 03:02:43.040
unprepared I am for the Valley of
the Carnes. Oh they're they're they're ready

2398
03:02:43.079 --> 03:02:48.959
for anything. They're they're ready for
nothing. Do you want a Tombstone to

2399
03:02:50.040 --> 03:02:56.280
qualify? Uh? Sure. Because
we were wondering why Virgil was called curly

2400
03:02:56.360 --> 03:03:00.399
Bill in w CW at the hand
Okay and Hull, Cogan reminds that curly

2401
03:03:00.440 --> 03:03:03.399
Bill is a villain from Tombstone played
by Powers Booth. Interesting, I'm not

2402
03:03:03.479 --> 03:03:05.920
sure if that was the reference but
if Nash was around, who knows,

2403
03:03:07.000 --> 03:03:09.959
Yes, I believe that I would
imagine that it is. Dusty was around

2404
03:03:11.040 --> 03:03:13.879
too, Yeah, and and Kevin
Sullivan. But you can buy that carle

2405
03:03:13.920 --> 03:03:20.239
a bill in Tombstone. Eventually you've
seen toomtone, buddy, you've seen You've

2406
03:03:20.280 --> 03:03:26.639
seen Tombstone. No. Uh oh, well, I guess he's not going

2407
03:03:26.719 --> 03:03:31.879
to respond, Chris writes Virgil at
Willing Casino. That's a good setup.

2408
03:03:33.639 --> 03:03:37.319
Can confirm Virgil would hang out at
Wheeling Island Casino in West Virginia. I

2409
03:03:37.399 --> 03:03:39.760
live at about an hour south of
Wheeling. My wife and I went to

2410
03:03:39.799 --> 03:03:41.520
the casino for a rare night out
in December twenty twenty one. At some

2411
03:03:41.559 --> 03:03:43.319
point I went to get something out
of the car for my wife, and

2412
03:03:43.360 --> 03:03:46.719
when I came back in the front
door, Virgil was standing there talking to

2413
03:03:46.760 --> 03:03:48.639
the security guard. He was leaning
on the guard's a little stand, like

2414
03:03:48.680 --> 03:03:50.719
he'd been there for a while.
Our eyes met and he said, how

2415
03:03:50.760 --> 03:03:52.959
you doing, brother? Yeah,
it's me. At a moment where I

2416
03:03:54.000 --> 03:03:56.440
thought maybe I should stop and say
hi or ask for a picture, but

2417
03:03:56.520 --> 03:04:00.239
instead I just smiled and kept walking. I couldn't figure out why Virgil would

2418
03:04:00.239 --> 03:04:01.760
be hanging out in the front door
of a casino in West Virginia. Is

2419
03:04:01.840 --> 03:04:07.479
so was Curly Bill the only time
Virgil had a role where he wasn't based

2420
03:04:07.559 --> 03:04:11.399
on somebody else, like in the
way that he was Mike Jones in WW

2421
03:04:11.559 --> 03:04:16.399
for a little while, Okay,
soul Train Jones whatever his alright, sol

2422
03:04:16.479 --> 03:04:20.600
Train Jones about them as the job
are on Superstars and the Paul and Roof

2423
03:04:20.639 --> 03:04:28.479
match we watched already forgot what they
called him was luscious or something. But

2424
03:04:28.520 --> 03:04:31.280
I should say his own yeah,
right, But but I should say though

2425
03:04:31.319 --> 03:04:35.600
his own he's out of the out
of the main Listen, he's not known

2426
03:04:35.680 --> 03:04:39.600
for that stuff as much as he's
known for being Virgil Vincent. And I

2427
03:04:39.680 --> 03:04:45.719
would say his third most famous is
probably Curly Bill, whatever he did in

2428
03:04:45.879 --> 03:04:50.319
w CW mainstream TV. Him Shane
too, all right, Shane as well?

2429
03:04:50.600 --> 03:04:54.719
Right, he's Shane for so okay, So out of his four main

2430
03:04:54.920 --> 03:05:01.200
characters on on real television, only
one was named after a fictional person as

2431
03:05:01.200 --> 03:05:07.799
opposed to a play on strange existence. It seriously is like I'm a walking,

2432
03:05:07.879 --> 03:05:11.879
living, breathing inside joke, Like
like I remember asking him that too,

2433
03:05:11.920 --> 03:05:16.559
if it bothered him like that.
He that his only notable gimmicks were

2434
03:05:16.600 --> 03:05:20.479
as plays off other people's names.
Ah nah, he would never It was

2435
03:05:20.600 --> 03:05:24.600
that he was fine. He was
down with he said, na A part

2436
03:05:24.639 --> 03:05:28.120
of the well I was hanging with, I was hanging with, I was

2437
03:05:28.159 --> 03:05:31.159
hanging with with with Hulk, Hogan
and nWo. I was part of them.

2438
03:05:31.280 --> 03:05:37.319
Big Okay, you're still a joke. No no, no, no,

2439
03:05:37.360 --> 03:05:41.639
no no, yeah, stop right
there. I couldn't figure out what

2440
03:05:41.799 --> 03:05:43.319
Virgil would be hanging out at the
front door of a casino in West Virginia.

2441
03:05:43.360 --> 03:05:46.200
I had no idea until your tribute
show last week that he lived in

2442
03:05:46.280 --> 03:05:50.520
Pittsburgh, which is only an hour
from Wheeling. Hmmm. I walked through

2443
03:05:50.520 --> 03:05:52.920
the casino in kind of a daze
until I found my wife. She asked

2444
03:05:52.920 --> 03:05:54.360
if something was wrong, and I
said, yeah, I think I just

2445
03:05:54.440 --> 03:06:03.000
saw Virgil. Her response, who
a Declan molloy, Thanks very much for

The love never stops. Anonymous writes on

2451
03:06:22.920 --> 03:06:26.760
Patreon that a two thousand and eight
Roll Rumble would have been as Hopper pick

2452
03:06:26.799 --> 03:06:30.159
as a gen Z fan. This
was the first pay per view my parents

2453
03:06:30.200 --> 03:06:31.799
ever bought me. My cousin spent
the night to watch it with me.

2454
03:06:31.840 --> 03:06:35.319
In the next night, my grandfather
took us to our first live wrestling event

2455
03:06:35.360 --> 03:06:37.879
Money naighte Raw and Philadelphia. My
extremely lapsed grandfather, who grew up watching

2456
03:06:37.879 --> 03:06:41.239
Brunos and Martino and Buddy Rogers cards
at the Philadelphia Arena, was now being

2457
03:06:41.280 --> 03:06:46.079
disposed to triple ehs for Snitsky and
Maria versus Molina. He didn't like it.

2458
03:06:46.520 --> 03:06:48.639
The only wrestler he got out of
his seat for was Jim Duggan,

2459
03:06:48.719 --> 03:06:50.479
who wrestled the dark Match against one
of the Highlanders who he remembered from the

2460
03:06:50.520 --> 03:06:54.680
Hulk Coggin days. Having no Internet
access since I was only eight years old

2461
03:06:54.680 --> 03:06:56.239
at the time, I was shocked
at how much the Philadelphia crowd was booing

2462
03:06:56.360 --> 03:07:00.799
my hero John Cena. Wow.
To me, to be was for kids

2463
03:07:00.879 --> 03:07:03.360
only, since all my friends at
school watched it and no adult I knew

2464
03:07:03.399 --> 03:07:05.399
did at least admitted to watching it. It confused my little mind how grown

2465
03:07:05.440 --> 03:07:09.159
men could take a show that had
such goofy characters like Hornswoggle and Santina Morella.

2466
03:07:09.399 --> 03:07:13.000
So seriously and so true, so
true, even a kid knows it's

2467
03:07:13.120 --> 03:07:16.079
yeahlish exactly. The kid looks at
adults like, what's wrong with you guys?

2468
03:07:16.239 --> 03:07:20.079
Exactly? Eight year old me would
be horrified to learn that I would

2469
03:07:20.120 --> 03:07:22.399
turn into that same annoying fan years
later. No matter what people say about

2470
03:07:22.399 --> 03:07:24.920
the year, I will always have
my nostalgia for two thousand and seven to

2471
03:07:26.000 --> 03:07:31.600
twenty ten. W w E amazing. I still remember when a punk beat

2472
03:07:31.680 --> 03:07:35.239
scene at night of Champions twenty thirteen, I think it was I went to

2473
03:07:35.319 --> 03:07:39.920
the show and these kids were crying
that John Cena lost, balling their lies

2474
03:07:41.000 --> 03:07:43.680
out and I thought everyone had moved
on from taking matches that seriously. I

2475
03:07:43.760 --> 03:07:48.159
didn't appreciate that. The new generation, you know, kids are a little

2476
03:07:48.200 --> 03:07:52.840
bit different. They I can see
that they expect something. I guess they

2477
03:07:52.879 --> 03:07:56.319
were never die with one guy like
that. I thought that was over after

2478
03:07:56.479 --> 03:08:00.920
uh, I guess after Brett kind
of I thought I told myself it was

2479
03:08:00.959 --> 03:08:03.040
over and that well, certainly the
top baby Face had their supporters. There

2480
03:08:03.040 --> 03:08:05.719
wouldn't be children crying if Stone Cold
lost the belt, you know, but

2481
03:08:07.360 --> 03:08:09.680
or the Rock lost the belt.
But here John Cena HadAM in a different,

2482
03:08:09.760 --> 03:08:13.719
unique way. Jeff right to the
Boss's Belgium story is either a great

2483
03:08:13.799 --> 03:08:18.360
A twenty four movie or a great, a great Wes Anderson movie. I'm

2484
03:08:18.360 --> 03:08:20.719
not Jeff Witch. Yes, maybe
maybe maybe Wes Anderson doing an A twenty

2485
03:08:20.719 --> 03:08:26.399
four movie something like that. Right, that's that's actually excellent. I could

2486
03:08:26.399 --> 03:08:28.440
totally see that being like the premise
for the movie trying to protect the rabbit,

2487
03:08:31.200 --> 03:08:33.399
yep, awkward light coming off a
breakup, yep. Yeah, it's

2488
03:08:33.520 --> 03:08:39.120
very Wes Anderson quirky comedy type thing. You know. I imagine like I

2489
03:08:39.200 --> 03:08:45.000
imagine like model toy planes being used
in the air, you know. So

2490
03:08:45.159 --> 03:08:48.760
good, Yeah, be fun.
Such a launch point. Sam O'Connor,

2491
03:08:48.799 --> 03:08:52.040
thanks for your increased pledge. We
appreciate all that support. Cameron Watkins,

2492
03:08:52.079 --> 03:08:54.760
thank you very much for the cake. Nicholas Chiappara, thanks very much for

2493
03:08:54.799 --> 03:08:58.879
the support. We appreciate it.
Here coming your way, Boss is our

2494
03:09:00.040 --> 03:09:11.600
man Sewan meer Mania and his tlf
X journey love it. Okay, greetings,

2495
03:09:11.799 --> 03:09:15.280
co chairs. I needed the right
level of motivation in order to sit

2496
03:09:15.319 --> 03:09:20.840
down and type out this beast,
and I think I'm finally ready. I've

2497
03:09:20.879 --> 03:09:24.159
written several times over the last decade, but I don't know that I ever

2498
03:09:24.280 --> 03:09:28.079
told the story of how I became
a fan not only a fake fighting,

2499
03:09:28.159 --> 03:09:35.600
but of TLF. I was born
in eighty five. I remember seeing Ultimate

2500
03:09:35.680 --> 03:09:39.879
Warrior on an episode of Superstars,
but I could never remember what time it

2501
03:09:39.040 --> 03:09:43.520
was on. I know that feeling
or what channel this must have been about

2502
03:09:43.600 --> 03:09:48.239
the time I got my VHS copy
of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles two Secret of

2503
03:09:48.280 --> 03:09:52.920
Views, because I distinctly remember the
trailer for Suburban Commando playing before the movie.

2504
03:09:54.440 --> 03:09:58.239
My aunt had recorded Gremlins to you
know the new batch I do off

2505
03:09:58.280 --> 03:10:03.559
of HBO for me, and this
version had the Hogan cameo. Either the

2506
03:10:03.600 --> 03:10:11.600
Suburban Commando preview or the Gremlins two
cameo were my first taste of hul Camania.

2507
03:10:11.559 --> 03:10:16.399
Fast forward a little and I have
a friend that has this yellow Hulk

2508
03:10:16.440 --> 03:10:22.840
Hogan suitcase. So the attached the
photo is that there? Do you see

2509
03:10:22.879 --> 03:10:24.840
it? I want to let me
take a look here sounds amazing. This

2510
03:10:24.920 --> 03:10:31.559
sucker was loaded with Hasbros. Hasbros
on the go, the most portable way

2511
03:10:31.600 --> 03:10:35.399
to take a five star Classic to
whatever family function, recess or car right,

2512
03:10:35.440 --> 03:10:39.040
et cetera you could think of.
Over the next few years, I

2513
03:10:39.120 --> 03:10:43.360
got to where you couldn't add another
one to the case. For some reason,

2514
03:10:43.399 --> 03:10:46.239
the Mounty and Texas Tornado were always
the ones I grabbed first. Like

2515
03:10:46.360 --> 03:10:50.799
so many others, As the New
Generation era took over and the Hasbros disappeared,

2516
03:10:50.879 --> 03:10:56.959
my fandom was put on hold until
about sixth grade. Look at that

2517
03:10:56.040 --> 03:11:01.319
beauty ninety seven. Let me see, wow, look at that? Look

2518
03:11:01.399 --> 03:11:03.879
at that? I could I could
have whatever I could have used that.

2519
03:11:03.920 --> 03:11:07.200
That's a toy carrier, is what
that is. I kind of you know,

2520
03:11:07.479 --> 03:11:09.200
that's what It looks a little familiar. I wonder if I had that.

2521
03:11:09.600 --> 03:11:13.319
Oh I'd be jealous. Yeah,
I think I had it. The

2522
03:11:13.399 --> 03:11:18.920
only way it got random shit and
like I wasn't like you know, like

2523
03:11:18.000 --> 03:11:20.520
it would be a thing where it
wasn't instant gratification. Like I'd beg my

2524
03:11:20.600 --> 03:11:24.639
parents for something on the catalog and
I'd get it sometimes, but it wouldn't

2525
03:11:24.639 --> 03:11:26.120
come until like six months later.
Right, Well, that was those are

2526
03:11:26.159 --> 03:11:30.440
the days when it was like it
took forever for for shit to ship.

2527
03:11:31.520 --> 03:11:33.079
Absolutely, when I finally got it, it was sort of like this faded

2528
03:11:33.159 --> 03:11:35.760
memory. It wasn't like, oh, like you remember when you get something,

2529
03:11:35.760 --> 03:11:37.959
I don't remember getting it, so
I remember having it either. It's

2530
03:11:39.040 --> 03:11:41.799
very strange, you know, like
the fucking when I see it, I

2531
03:11:41.879 --> 03:11:48.479
recognize it. Yeah, like you
know, today you get ship that is

2532
03:11:50.520 --> 03:11:52.959
you know it comes. You know, obviously Amazon you get it within two

2533
03:11:54.040 --> 03:11:56.520
days. But I remember as a
kid it was like it was weeks to

2534
03:11:56.760 --> 03:12:01.680
months at least. It seemed like
months before something would get and we didn't

2535
03:12:01.680 --> 03:12:05.479
have any way to check the tracking. We were the better for it,

2536
03:12:05.600 --> 03:12:07.920
let me tell you. Because as
agonizing as it would be to wonder if

2537
03:12:07.959 --> 03:12:11.559
it's ever coming in, or if
they got my order or where is it.

2538
03:12:11.639 --> 03:12:15.399
As agonizing as that is, especially
considering the prime era we live in

2539
03:12:15.479 --> 03:12:20.079
now, I got to tell you
it made it four thousand times sweeter the

2540
03:12:20.159 --> 03:12:22.479
day it came, you know,
that's the thing. The day it came

2541
03:12:22.799 --> 03:12:28.120
was And this isn't this isn't contradiction
what I just said. I understand this

2542
03:12:28.200 --> 03:12:31.120
in terms of not remembering getting it
because I felt like what would happen,

2543
03:12:31.200 --> 03:12:33.360
honestly is the package would come in
and I wasn't home, and it would

2544
03:12:33.360 --> 03:12:37.159
be like open for me, and
I'd find it there presented. I wouldn't

2545
03:12:37.159 --> 03:12:39.719
retrieve it from the porch, you
know what I mean, like that it

2546
03:12:39.719 --> 03:12:41.600
would just suddenly be in the house. Right. It was just something right

2547
03:12:43.040 --> 03:12:45.840
right, because it was it was
very strange to get a package, so

2548
03:12:45.879 --> 03:12:48.760
people didn't just like you know,
stack them up in the sun porch or

2549
03:12:48.799 --> 03:12:52.040
whatever or the mud room and just
wait for you to come and open them

2550
03:12:52.120 --> 03:12:54.600
yourself. You know, it would
be opened immediately because what the fuck is

2551
03:12:54.639 --> 03:12:58.239
this thing on my doorslap? Like
two packages a year, like exactly,

2552
03:13:00.239 --> 03:13:05.040
and man, oh man, god, I just I feel so bad for

2553
03:13:05.079 --> 03:13:07.639
people, for generations that are going
to get that experience. Yeah you should,

2554
03:13:09.120 --> 03:13:13.200
you should. I mean you know
now it's now there's no patience.

2555
03:13:13.200 --> 03:13:16.000
It's instant gratification to Ralphie's dad,
right, and like it's that yeah,

2556
03:13:16.079 --> 03:13:20.600
yeah, exactly gone. Exactly,
it's gone. The feeling that we worked

2557
03:13:20.600 --> 03:13:28.360
ourselves out of because we wanted it
easier. It's our fault. We wanted

2558
03:13:28.360 --> 03:13:31.879
it easier. We wanted it easier. Listen, we have the greatest experiences

2559
03:13:31.959 --> 03:13:41.159
and we created the worst experiences because
as kids we loathed the long waits.

2560
03:13:41.959 --> 03:13:43.920
Well that's the thing. We lose
the long way. We innovate ways and

2561
03:13:45.159 --> 03:13:46.879
right, so we need to create
ways that I don't have to loathe waiting.

2562
03:13:48.079 --> 03:13:50.600
I need it now. And then
all we end up doing is robbing

2563
03:13:50.639 --> 03:13:54.920
the next generation of something magical.
And ourselves well well ourselves, but we're

2564
03:13:54.920 --> 03:13:56.000
old enough now we don't care.
It's the height, it's the height of

2565
03:13:56.079 --> 03:14:01.079
selfishness, you know, it's I
don't want to have to wait for anything.

2566
03:14:01.159 --> 03:14:05.440
So therefore, the kids of my
generation, you know, the kids

2567
03:14:05.000 --> 03:14:09.319
behind me, are never going to
get the feeling of And now kids don't

2568
03:14:09.319 --> 03:14:16.000
even care about you. They want
electronics. Meanwhile, I'm playing with Hasbros.

2569
03:14:16.520 --> 03:14:22.879
It's is so fucked up. Mm, it's life. You know,

2570
03:14:22.959 --> 03:14:26.559
what did you expect? I guess
you're right. What do you think?

2571
03:14:28.079 --> 03:14:31.319
You just picked a nice, happy
existence? No, come on, you

2572
03:14:31.399 --> 03:14:37.559
know better than that. Got Barry
Wyndham glue right there? Yeah? Does

2573
03:14:37.559 --> 03:14:41.280
he still do a good what is
the power slam? He does? He

2574
03:14:41.360 --> 03:14:45.360
does a great spinebuster, absolutely phenomenal
spinebuster. Can pick him up like nobody's

2575
03:14:45.399 --> 03:14:50.079
business here. He's got Scott Steiner
and he's gonna drop him boom beautiful.

2576
03:14:50.479 --> 03:14:52.280
Yeah. Yeah, he can do
a great cutter as well. It's really

2577
03:14:52.479 --> 03:15:00.559
he's he is a very versatile rest
real action figure. So okay, Fallow

2578
03:15:00.559 --> 03:15:05.799
of ninety seven A buddy bought the
latest copy of WW magazine to school Owen.

2579
03:15:05.879 --> 03:15:09.559
Hart's head was stuck on the wall
of a like a damn buck.

2580
03:15:09.440 --> 03:15:15.440
I was immediately hooked again. Do
you remember that one? I do?

2581
03:15:16.159 --> 03:15:20.159
I do? It's a Owen season, I think is what the you're amazing

2582
03:15:20.440 --> 03:15:30.360
thing was exactly what oh god,
this fucking look at that Owen's Look at

2583
03:15:30.440 --> 03:15:39.280
Owen's face. Yeah, idiot,
oh, poor dead bastard. All right,

2584
03:15:39.120 --> 03:15:41.479
the time, my fan, This
time, my fandom ran until about

2585
03:15:41.799 --> 03:15:45.799
the summer of two thousand and six. I went to WrestleMania twenty two in

2586
03:15:46.159 --> 03:15:48.239
Chicago. Big time, Yes it
was. It was the big time and

2587
03:15:48.399 --> 03:15:54.479
the big time so much larger than
life, so so much larger. Then

2588
03:15:54.760 --> 03:16:01.600
it's like the only time they fucking
used an older song wrestle you know,

2589
03:16:01.120 --> 03:16:05.840
like it was an eighties song they
fucking did big time, like weird.

2590
03:16:05.600 --> 03:16:09.959
I mean it doesn't make any sense, but I loved I did. I

2591
03:16:09.120 --> 03:16:13.520
liked it so I could that I
could that I can email or text uh

2592
03:16:15.040 --> 03:16:18.959
uh did and say, hey,
guess what the Wrestmania theme is this year.

2593
03:16:18.000 --> 03:16:22.639
It's sucking Peter Gabriel's Big Time.
You must love that. No,

2594
03:16:22.760 --> 03:16:26.159
yeah, absolutely introduced that song to
me. Actually in college, I didn't.

2595
03:16:26.159 --> 03:16:31.479
I wasn't as familiar with the only
Peter Gabriel song I knew before college

2596
03:16:31.719 --> 03:16:37.600
was in the Uh no, no, that's uh, that's that's that's uh

2597
03:16:37.159 --> 03:16:43.239
Phil Collins. But Peter Gabriel,
I knew, uh Steam, I knew

2598
03:16:43.319 --> 03:16:46.959
Steam. I remember, I remember
I watched the fucking first uh, the

2599
03:16:48.079 --> 03:16:52.440
debut of of the music video for
Steam Amazing. It was so great.

2600
03:16:52.879 --> 03:17:00.520
Dean, There's no way that's the
first time in the history show that I

2601
03:17:00.760 --> 03:17:03.600
mistook Peter Gabriel for Phil Collins.
I don't know if we ever talked about

2602
03:17:05.239 --> 03:17:09.120
I would imagine that we maybe did
it at the time when we did wrest

2603
03:17:09.200 --> 03:17:11.520
May twenty two, but I don't
think we've talked about Peter Gabriel that much

2604
03:17:11.440 --> 03:17:16.120
on the show. Maybe if we
can do uh maybe I under the cinemat,

2605
03:17:16.120 --> 03:17:22.639
I we can do uh uh the
lastentation of Christ. Wow, really

2606
03:17:22.959 --> 03:17:26.520
because he did the score for that, which is fucking unreal, just fucking

2607
03:17:28.360 --> 03:17:33.440
only Martin Scorsese would do a movie
about the life and death of Jesus Christ

2608
03:17:35.079 --> 03:17:41.479
and have Peter Gabriel do the score. It will do the Miami Vice trailer.

2609
03:17:41.959 --> 03:17:46.719
There we go and have uh and
then and have Harvey Kaite Harvey Kayitel

2610
03:17:46.840 --> 03:17:56.959
played Judas Iscariot. Fucking that's that's
that's a movie, Judas bro there,

2611
03:18:00.120 --> 03:18:05.479
it's a big time. I followed
the Vince mcman versus God and HBK fewed

2612
03:18:05.559 --> 03:18:07.680
because it's how ridiculous it was.
A few weeks after the mains, I

2613
03:18:07.760 --> 03:18:13.840
went to a Raw SmackDown super show
in Saint Louis. Carlito was my guy

2614
03:18:13.000 --> 03:18:16.559
and I was rocking one of his
fake wigs with a do you Spit or

2615
03:18:16.760 --> 03:18:26.520
Swallow shirt in a second row.
But something was starting to feel different after

2616
03:18:26.600 --> 03:18:31.559
going to WrestleMania and knowing the product
was kind of shit at the point anyway,

2617
03:18:31.559 --> 03:18:35.360
it didn't feel like there was anything
left to accomplish as a fan.

2618
03:18:35.959 --> 03:18:39.920
My viewership was hit and miss.
After the Ben Wat tragedy, I totally

2619
03:18:41.000 --> 03:18:46.239
quit watching for a long time,
the entire punk era, the scene of

2620
03:18:46.360 --> 03:18:50.559
rock program all the way until my
friend suggested I give this podcast on Wrestle's

2621
03:18:50.600 --> 03:19:03.840
Own a try because quote they talked
to Meltzer and one of the guys who

2622
03:19:03.920 --> 03:19:09.399
does a decent McMahon impression. I've
worn several hats in my professional career after

2623
03:19:09.559 --> 03:19:13.239
graduating from college. When I began
listening to t LF, I was a

2624
03:19:13.360 --> 03:19:18.479
territory sales brother. What are you
selling out territories? Dude? What do

2625
03:19:18.479 --> 03:19:24.559
you mean Terry what? Terrytown?
Brother? What selling? What do you

2626
03:19:24.639 --> 03:19:31.120
mean selling? What? Selling tickets
to or selling? You're gonna sell a

2627
03:19:31.200 --> 03:19:35.079
leg drop, right, dude,
Exactly. You're not trying to say you

2628
03:19:35.159 --> 03:19:39.440
sell something else. You're gonna You're
gonna manage your sales, your sale of

2629
03:19:39.520 --> 03:19:43.479
the leg drop, right dude?
In Hershey, Brother, you're gonna sell

2630
03:19:43.479 --> 03:19:46.000
the leg drop right Like you saying
you sell something else. Isn't the sneaky

2631
03:19:46.040 --> 03:19:48.840
way of saying you won't sell the
leg drop? Right? Brother, You're

2632
03:19:48.840 --> 03:19:52.159
saying you're a sales manager for Hershey, means you're gonna sell the leg drop

2633
03:19:52.360 --> 03:19:56.040
in Hershey, Right, dude,
right? Why are your sales manager for

2634
03:19:56.120 --> 03:20:00.600
leg drops. If that's the case
we're managing. He drops, Now,

2635
03:20:00.680 --> 03:20:09.239
dude, it was my leg drop. Not good. What I gotta know

2636
03:20:09.280 --> 03:20:16.079
what's going on, dude. Nobody
tells me anything in this sort. Nobody

2637
03:20:16.120 --> 03:20:20.680
tells me anything. On the road, eight hundred plus miles a week,

2638
03:20:20.719 --> 03:20:26.200
all over Illinois, my car was
my office, and TLF quickly became my

2639
03:20:26.360 --> 03:20:30.319
soundtrack. The earliest shows, The
Main's Journey Star came Memorial Tour. All

2640
03:20:30.399 --> 03:20:35.040
helped get me through those long drives. The only bad thing about the show

2641
03:20:35.159 --> 03:20:41.760
back in those days it was too
short. After getting burnt out from being

2642
03:20:41.799 --> 03:20:46.200
on the road, I started working
for the state as a tax collector.

2643
03:20:46.280 --> 03:20:52.399
It's okay, Irwin, Seriously,
he goes from goes from selling out in

2644
03:20:52.719 --> 03:20:58.159
Hershey to fucking selling out. Indeed, Yeah, in the fall twenty seventeen,

2645
03:20:58.159 --> 03:21:01.600
I could go full Nash on folks
that would call complaining about their situations.

2646
03:21:03.319 --> 03:21:05.520
I believe in an email send a
long time ago, I'd mentioned that

2647
03:21:05.680 --> 03:21:11.840
one particular delinquent taxpayer cussed me out
pretty good, and I can only respond

2648
03:21:11.920 --> 03:21:16.440
with, Hey, I'm just a
guy. Oh my god, what is

2649
03:21:16.079 --> 03:21:22.000
what the fuck man like? Look
listen, I didn't create your tax problem.

2650
03:21:22.440 --> 03:21:26.120
All right. Like, that's right. I'm just the guy making the

2651
03:21:26.239 --> 03:21:30.000
call, you know. I mean, look, maybe you and I can

2652
03:21:30.120 --> 03:21:31.760
sit down, you know, have
a glass of wine, kind of chit

2653
03:21:31.879 --> 03:21:37.079
chat over, you know, steak
dinner or whatever, and we can kind

2654
03:21:37.120 --> 03:21:39.520
of talk through this. But I'm
not the guy that did this to you,

2655
03:21:39.559 --> 03:21:43.040
all right, I'm just the guy
calling you to remind you that you

2656
03:21:43.159 --> 03:21:50.600
did it to yourself. Well,
thank you for that. In twenty seventeen,

2657
03:21:50.639 --> 03:21:54.600
the ninety seven Journey to Survivor series, this is my favorite individual section

2658
03:21:54.799 --> 03:21:58.040
of TLF right. In the heart
of the multiple part episode covering the Montreal

2659
03:21:58.079 --> 03:22:01.719
screwjob, my daughter was born.
I sat in the hospital cracking up when

2660
03:22:01.799 --> 03:22:09.920
JP introduced the evil bred hard voice. Well, reading from Danner's book,

2661
03:22:11.520 --> 03:22:22.600
what do you mean? I am
Brett Hart, I'm evil. I continued

2662
03:22:22.680 --> 03:22:26.479
working for irmin r Scheister for five
years, but ended up moving to another

2663
03:22:26.559 --> 03:22:33.559
state agency as a supply procurement executive. Excuse me, brother, Well,

2664
03:22:33.639 --> 03:22:41.360
what kind of supply are you going
to procure for me? Let's sit down

2665
03:22:41.360 --> 03:22:48.239
and talk about I'm talking about supply
and demand. Supply. You are a

2666
03:22:48.319 --> 03:22:52.120
supply and I have a demand.
Let's get on with it. I will

2667
03:22:52.200 --> 03:22:58.879
procure a demand. You have a
supply, I have a demand. Let's

2668
03:22:58.920 --> 03:23:07.280
get on with it. Tremendous shit, tremendous shit. Uh, it's America,

2669
03:23:07.399 --> 03:23:13.959
Dammit. You can only take so
much verbal abuse from those jacks sheets.

2670
03:23:13.879 --> 03:23:18.879
Now I'm at a new office with
a new desk without having to be

2671
03:23:18.120 --> 03:23:22.399
in the phone, on the phone, more time for that cast to be

2672
03:23:22.040 --> 03:23:26.040
You know where. I've been in
that solar system since before it was called

2673
03:23:26.079 --> 03:23:31.000
the solar system. I've been on
the Patreon gimmick. You've been there for

2674
03:23:31.120 --> 03:23:33.440
me, through the valleys and the
peaks. And like WrestleMania four, when

2675
03:23:33.520 --> 03:23:37.680
the fault lines break off and other
subpar podcasts fall into the ocean, the

2676
03:23:37.760 --> 03:23:41.000
Solar System will be saved from the
bottom by the sea of that fucking cast,

2677
03:23:41.120 --> 03:23:46.159
like Hogan, save the Trump Family. I've gone far too long.

2678
03:23:46.440 --> 03:23:48.959
I've gone too long with your Carney
at a Hall of Fame ceremony, I

2679
03:23:48.040 --> 03:23:50.799
look forward to another ten years of
TLF. I wish I could make it

2680
03:23:50.879 --> 03:23:54.040
to Philly, but I know it's
going to be amazing, and I'll be

2681
03:23:54.120 --> 03:23:56.159
there in spirit. Next time we
make it to the Midwest, I'll be

2682
03:23:56.760 --> 03:24:01.920
there. Well, maybe many thank
you for the memories, Thank you for

2683
03:24:01.959 --> 03:24:07.799
the inspiration. Thank you for as
Michael Buffer would put it, hulk Mania,

2684
03:24:09.760 --> 03:24:13.879
hulk Mania. Thank you, dude, brother, what hi hoof?

2685
03:24:13.399 --> 03:24:20.159
And thank you Michael Trimarco and and
then Morgan Cameron and and and and Travis

2686
03:24:20.399 --> 03:24:22.639
who went up to the moat tier
in a big gigo. We appreciate that.

2687
03:24:22.799 --> 03:24:28.639
And and nick O and Michael Herndon
and Jane Altoyds and Ryan Harvey and

2688

Ziggler and t JK TGK sorry and uh

2689
03:24:41.000 --> 03:24:50.559
Edward Jeffrey and Joseph Russo and how
about Timothy Weiss and Rick Murphy and Paul

2690
03:24:50.600 --> 03:24:56.360
Augustine and Carl Bennett. I mean, folks, Fox, I mean,

2691
03:24:56.440 --> 03:25:01.360
come on now, what more do
you need? Ron Rights Terry Funk memories.

2692
03:25:03.399 --> 03:25:05.120
Thanks to my friend that got me
into wrestling, Ritchie, I saw

2693
03:25:05.120 --> 03:25:09.440
a lot of mainstream A D's WW
and going forward with Funk's career. My

2694
03:25:09.520 --> 03:25:13.159
friend's mother and father were tape traders
in the nineties. Might excuse me,

2695
03:25:15.639 --> 03:25:18.120
excuse me? His mom loved Funk
and Foley, so maybe it's her I

2696
03:25:18.200 --> 03:25:22.159
have to thank for seeing so much
A Funk I remember at age twelve thirteen,

2697
03:25:22.239 --> 03:25:24.559
Richie showed me the full built up
of Flair Verse Funk, everything from

2698
03:25:24.600 --> 03:25:26.440
Funk attacking Flair pile Driver on the
table all the way to the I Quick

2699
03:25:26.520 --> 03:25:30.680
match, which quickly became my favorite
of my early fandom. Also to a

2700
03:25:30.719 --> 03:25:33.120
twelve year old, the Thunderdome was
crazy as fuck. He gave me a

2701
03:25:33.159 --> 03:25:35.120
handful of ECW tapes, which when
it was Eastern Champs to Wrestling, I

2702
03:25:35.159 --> 03:25:37.680
believe Funk winning the TV title.
They had been on those tapes. Fast

2703
03:25:37.680 --> 03:25:41.520
forward to the late nineties, and
that middle aged and crazy bastard used a

2704
03:25:41.600 --> 03:25:43.040
chainsaw to cut his way out of
the box and into my heart. During

2705
03:25:43.079 --> 03:25:46.040
the hardcore fight between Foley and Charlie
when they were tossed into the dumpster and

2706
03:25:46.079 --> 03:25:48.120
shoved off the stage, I fully
marked out for it. I was just

2707
03:25:48.159 --> 03:25:52.280
shy of turning fifteen and knew everything
was fake as hell by then, but

2708
03:25:52.360 --> 03:25:54.840
that moment was real to me.
For some reason, I bought into the

2709
03:25:54.879 --> 03:25:58.719
angle, likely because they had to
take it up about thirty minutes of live

2710
03:25:58.799 --> 03:26:01.399
TV. I'm listening to this part
of Lapsed Funk now and just had to

2711
03:26:01.440 --> 03:26:03.559
write in. I guess in nineteen
ninety eight, ECW finally started to get

2712
03:26:03.600 --> 03:26:07.000
more popular on their and on their
website. I sent out messages about them

2713
03:26:07.079 --> 03:26:11.479
touring further out and then just on
than just the East coast. Finally,

2714
03:26:11.520 --> 03:26:15.799
in nineteen ninety nine and two thousand
they came to Peoria, Illinois, which

2715
03:26:15.879 --> 03:26:18.639
was something I suggested a few times
while chatting with whomever manned the ECW chat.

2716
03:26:20.040 --> 03:26:22.799
Thanks to our video having so many
tapes, my friends and I bought

2717
03:26:22.840 --> 03:26:24.520
roughly four to five different tapes.
Among them was IWA King of the death

2718
03:26:24.559 --> 03:26:28.719
Match ninety five, the Best of
Hi Busa, ECW's Best of Hardcore,

2719
03:26:28.719 --> 03:26:31.879
and at least one of the other
Japanese death match compilations. I was able

2720
03:26:31.920 --> 03:26:33.479
to see Sabo Verus Funk, Born
to be Wired, Funk Versus Folly,

2721
03:26:33.520 --> 03:26:37.719
and loads of Funk Wrestling and FMW
and others in a variety of death matches.

2722
03:26:37.959 --> 03:26:39.360
Funk Owing to WCW is somehow not
a part of my memory. In

2723
03:26:39.360 --> 03:26:45.040
the two thousands, skip forward,
ECWWCW both clothes and some books come and

2724
03:26:45.120 --> 03:26:48.440
documentaries come out. So they decided
to bring ECW back for one night,

2725
03:26:48.479 --> 03:26:50.920
and there were whispers of the real
ECW originals doing their own show and documentary.

2726
03:26:52.000 --> 03:26:54.000
Jack, thank you for including the
forever Hardcore interview of Terry Funk.

2727
03:26:54.000 --> 03:26:56.200
I don't know why, but that
interview, when I heard at age twenty

2728
03:26:56.239 --> 03:27:00.399
two, stuck with me. Someone
like Funk would rather stay true to himself

2729
03:27:00.639 --> 03:27:01.920
and go back up and down the
roads with guys he loved working with,

2730
03:27:03.079 --> 03:27:05.479
rather than earn some big Vince McMahon
money. I've done my best to live

2731
03:27:05.559 --> 03:27:07.239
up to that ideal, staying true
to oneself for selling out to the man,

2732
03:27:07.360 --> 03:27:11.280
even if one year later he still
got to make man money in hand.

2733
03:27:11.440 --> 03:27:13.799
That's right, that's Terry Funk for
you. Yeah right, he'll get

2734
03:27:13.920 --> 03:27:18.719
he'll get the money, but he'll
do something to make himself be able to

2735
03:27:18.719 --> 03:27:22.079
look himself in the mirror. Right
and closing, I guess I have Funk

2736
03:27:22.120 --> 03:27:24.600
to thank for my love of hardcore
wrestling and being a stubborn ass. And

2737
03:27:24.680 --> 03:27:26.879
that's why I'm not a millionaire.
You know, that's why I'm not a

2738
03:27:26.959 --> 03:27:31.680
millionaire. Well, the things that
I wanted to do probably should have done.

2739
03:27:31.680 --> 03:27:33.399
I should have gone the Walmart.
It took a long time to send

2740
03:27:33.440 --> 03:27:39.040
this. Walmart take a long time
to send this because it's like saying a

2741
03:27:39.079 --> 03:27:43.200
final goodbye to him. It hurts
in the next few years, won't get

2742
03:27:43.200 --> 03:27:46.399
any easier for us fans. Man, It's yeah, it's irreplaceable. It's

2743
03:27:46.479 --> 03:27:50.959
gone. Yes, Clarkson comes Comes
Clean on Patreon Listen. He writes,

2744
03:27:52.200 --> 03:27:54.719
when I first started listening to the
show, the singing was what most annoyed

2745
03:27:54.799 --> 03:27:58.879
me the most. Was what annoyed
me the most. Where do you think

2746
03:27:58.959 --> 03:28:01.319
is going to happen next? Boss? Uh? He's gonna not be able

2747
03:28:01.319 --> 03:28:07.079
to live without it. At some
point it broke me and I started laughing.

2748
03:28:07.239 --> 03:28:09.879
Yes, I haven't stopped laughing at
it. So good ship, Pal,

2749
03:28:11.159 --> 03:28:13.920
I know. And you're out there
right now, You're out there,

2750
03:28:15.799 --> 03:28:18.799
you have a pause, you go, oh, these guys are like God,

2751
03:28:18.200 --> 03:28:22.200
that was cringe Like. I can't
think is wrong with these ass clowns.

2752
03:28:22.440 --> 03:28:24.879
I need to be with people that
never put themselves on the line.

2753
03:28:26.799 --> 03:28:33.319
I need to listen to people that
don't uh, unapologetically laugh And all I'm

2754
03:28:33.319 --> 03:28:35.879
gonna say is that the seat at
the table will be kept warm for you,

2755
03:28:37.120 --> 03:28:41.000
and we were gonna welcome you back
with open arms. I mean,

2756
03:28:41.319 --> 03:28:43.760
has anyone ever fucking been in the
middle of saying something like are there are

2757
03:28:43.799 --> 03:28:48.879
there so many people who who just
don't do Like if you're in the middle

2758
03:28:48.879 --> 03:28:52.440
of saying something that you know is
ridiculous and then all of a sudden you

2759
03:28:52.520 --> 03:28:54.040
catch yourself, whether you when you
realize it, and it's fucking funny,

2760
03:28:56.479 --> 03:29:00.200
Like do people not do that?
Or are we just like fucking unicorn in

2761
03:29:00.280 --> 03:29:03.719
that? In them? It seems
that way. Like I'm into that my

2762
03:29:03.760 --> 03:29:09.040
whole life, where I'm in the
middle of saying something bizarre and completely nonsensical,

2763
03:29:09.200 --> 03:29:13.239
and I catch myself because it starts
to make sense in my brain as

2764
03:29:13.280 --> 03:29:18.959
I'm saying it, and I think
it's hilarious because it's so stupid. Yeah,

2765
03:29:18.079 --> 03:29:22.360
something like that. I'm with you, Andre writes TLF often brings a

2766
03:29:22.360 --> 03:29:24.879
smile to my face. I enjoyed
many a chuckle listening to the coach chairs.

2767
03:29:24.879 --> 03:29:28.479
However, sometimes I get so caught
off guard that I lose all breath

2768
03:29:28.520 --> 03:29:31.319
from my body and begin to wheeze
with laughter at the most random of lines

2769
03:29:31.319 --> 03:29:33.079
that others may forget instantly. I
hear you, I hear you. Man.

2770
03:29:33.520 --> 03:29:37.760
The most recent I quote he Flair
took a knee to the head in

2771
03:29:37.840 --> 03:29:39.920
the Sting retirement match and laid there
dead for the rest of the match.

2772
03:29:41.120 --> 03:29:43.879
Don't ask me why these things tickle
my pickle. They just do. Yeah,

2773
03:29:45.079 --> 03:29:48.959
dude, I won't ask because it's
it's it's kind of self explanatory.

2774
03:29:48.120 --> 03:29:52.399
Yeah, Cliff writes wearing Umble twenty
eight. I was there. Wow,

2775
03:29:52.920 --> 03:29:54.079
I love it. I wanted to
share my recollections were on BLEW eight.

2776
03:29:54.079 --> 03:29:56.680
Because I was there first, I
should tell you about the festivities. It

2777
03:29:56.680 --> 03:30:00.680
took place earlier that January day.
My best and Tony and I went to

2778
03:30:00.719 --> 03:30:03.520
Wrestlemaniafan Access at the South Street Seaport
in Manhattan because Rick Flair smacked up in

2779
03:30:03.559 --> 03:30:07.520
the middle of his retirement tour,
was signing autographs. The line to get

2780
03:30:07.680 --> 03:30:09.000
out the door and we ended up
waiting for what had to have been at

2781
03:30:09.079 --> 03:30:13.000
least two hours. This gave us
a chance to expose the wonderful, diverse

2782
03:30:13.079 --> 03:30:15.959
personalities of wrestling fans. Of course, at one point I thought to myself,

2783
03:30:16.000 --> 03:30:18.840
I can't believe I'm one of these
people. One guy in particular was

2784
03:30:18.920 --> 03:30:22.559
especially grading. He was doing impersonations
of different wrestlers. At first, he

2785
03:30:22.639 --> 03:30:24.200
was funny. He did an impersonation
for Ady Savage cutting a promo and a

2786
03:30:24.239 --> 03:30:28.559
bird flying above us. Then he
kept going, with each imitation less funny

2787
03:30:28.559 --> 03:30:30.799
than the one before it. He
eventually got into an argument with another guy

2788
03:30:30.799 --> 03:30:33.479
who was trying to cut the line, topping the quarrel off with a DX

2789
03:30:33.600 --> 03:30:37.440
crotch chop. I was embarrassed for
him and myself. We eventually got to

2790
03:30:37.479 --> 03:30:39.639
Rick Flair's autograph table. Those of
us who without memorabili he had a sign

2791
03:30:39.719 --> 03:30:43.239
got a postcard with Flair's face on
it for him to sign. When Rick

2792
03:30:43.239 --> 03:30:45.319
signed my postcard, I said thank
you. He shot me a look,

2793
03:30:45.360 --> 03:30:48.959
look, I just drunk his sea
breeze. H I was legitimately intimidated.

2794
03:30:48.000 --> 03:30:50.920
I don't know what he thought I
said. I mean, he was probably

2795
03:30:50.040 --> 03:30:52.520
drunk. That could have had something
to do with it. Maybe he thought

2796
03:30:52.520 --> 03:30:54.840
I was eyeing his fourth wife,
who was seated next to him. Either

2797
03:30:54.879 --> 03:30:58.920
way, I moved on and watched
a Tony got his autograph. Tony said

2798
03:30:58.959 --> 03:31:01.479
nothing. He just smiled at Ricky
and Rick smiled back. Lesson learned,

2799
03:31:01.520 --> 03:31:05.799
don't thank wrestlers. It all makes
sense to me. We spent another hour

2800
03:31:05.920 --> 03:31:09.799
or so there. Some people from
a TLC Haunted House show were holding a

2801
03:31:09.840 --> 03:31:13.280
contest to see who could tell the
best ghost story. Tony made up a

2802
03:31:13.319 --> 03:31:16.440
story and actually won. They posted
the video of it on their website.

2803
03:31:16.520 --> 03:31:18.879
He made up a story, Oh
my god, that's happens that wrestling fans

2804
03:31:18.920 --> 03:31:22.520
are around. Then he and I
lost a WW trivia contest to a kid

2805
03:31:22.520 --> 03:31:24.399
who had been a fan way less
time than either of us. We were

2806
03:31:24.440 --> 03:31:28.200
both twenty three and had been fans
since the late eighties early nineties. After

2807
03:31:28.239 --> 03:31:30.559
walking around and grabbing me some dinner, we had an MSG. While we

2808
03:31:30.600 --> 03:31:33.000
were walking into the initial flight of
stairs to get in, I noticed someone

2809
03:31:33.079 --> 03:31:35.120
famous. It was a member of
Run DMC. I don't know if it

2810
03:31:35.200 --> 03:31:37.639
was Run or DMC, so I
just took a chance and scream run no

2811
03:31:37.760 --> 03:31:41.120
response, run hunts again. Finally
I spartaned up and yelled DMC. Turned

2812
03:31:41.120 --> 03:31:43.479
around, let me shoot a photo
over and it was nicer than Rick Flair.

2813
03:31:48.159 --> 03:31:50.520
That was a good one. Our
seats were on the floor. If

2814
03:31:50.559 --> 03:31:52.680
you could envision the show from the
hard camera, we were on the left

2815
03:31:52.719 --> 03:31:56.120
side of the arena, rather than
perhaps, what's that? Can I not

2816
03:31:56.479 --> 03:32:00.200
envision the shows? It's up to
you. Since this was perhaps the only

2817
03:32:00.239 --> 03:32:01.680
well rumble we'd ever see, Tony
insisted we sit on the floor. I

2818
03:32:01.719 --> 03:32:05.120
don't usually like floor seats, but
I saw everything going on into the ring,

2819
03:32:05.159 --> 03:32:07.079
so I was happy. Now on
to the matches. I wish I

2820
03:32:07.120 --> 03:32:09.760
could be all jazzed over the fact
that I got to see Flair's last match

2821
03:32:09.799 --> 03:32:11.120
in MSG, but for whatever reason, I'm not. In fact, the

2822
03:32:11.200 --> 03:32:13.959
highlight of the Flare MVP match was
what happened before and after the match.

2823
03:32:15.120 --> 03:32:18.040
Before the match started, his sun
Usher escored a woman in brown dress to

2824
03:32:18.120 --> 03:32:20.959
her seat in the front row.
Tony and I recognized hers, Flair's wife.

2825
03:32:20.120 --> 03:32:22.959
When she was being escorted to the
back. After the match, we

2826
03:32:22.040 --> 03:32:24.760
heeled Missus Flair. She looked at
us and waved. Tony and I high

2827
03:32:24.799 --> 03:32:28.719
fived each other, celebrating the fact
that Acartney's latest trophy wife gave us subhuman

2828
03:32:28.719 --> 03:32:33.280
wrestling fans some attention. Jericho JBL
was nothing special. I was disappointed with

2829
03:32:33.399 --> 03:32:37.239
Jericho's return. He was trying too
hard to be the white Jave old By

2830
03:32:37.280 --> 03:32:39.479
that spring, I was over him. That change that changed real quick when

2831
03:32:39.479 --> 03:32:43.200
he started feeding with Sean Michaels and
went on to become the best all around

2832
03:32:43.239 --> 03:32:46.719
performer in pro wrestling for the next
two years. When you think you know

2833
03:32:46.840 --> 03:32:48.920
me plays over the loudspeakers. You
can see me on camera jumping out of

2834
03:32:48.959 --> 03:32:52.000
my seat and applauding. Edge was
my favorite wrestler at the time. I

2835
03:32:52.120 --> 03:32:54.399
just loved how much of a Dicky
was. I was happy he got the

2836
03:32:54.440 --> 03:32:58.639
main event spot at WrestleMania twenty four
against the Undertaker. He earned it as

2837
03:32:58.639 --> 03:33:01.799
far as roar room with the last
eight go sorry was I think most of

2838
03:33:01.799 --> 03:33:03.639
the cracks behind him. The right
springboarded off the ropes. At the end

2839
03:33:03.639 --> 03:33:05.479
of the match. I screamed,
oh shit, because I knew it was

2840
03:33:05.520 --> 03:33:09.719
coming next Bam spear awesome finish.
Next match did not have such an awesome

2841
03:33:09.719 --> 03:33:13.600
finish, which fell flat with me
because of how strong they had built Jeff

2842
03:33:13.600 --> 03:33:15.760
Hardy up in the weeks leading up
to the World Rumble. He had a

2843
03:33:15.799 --> 03:33:18.000
whisper and the went off the top
of the cage on to Omago one week.

2844
03:33:18.200 --> 03:33:20.559
The next week he exted you to
a swanton bomb off the ross set

2845
03:33:20.600 --> 03:33:22.959
and sent himself an orton out of
the arena on stretchers. That's why he

2846
03:33:22.040 --> 03:33:24.559
was so overpacked. Then he was
jumping off things. Yeah right, I

2847
03:33:24.639 --> 03:33:28.959
forgot. Every week it was like
a stunt and they go home run.

2848
03:33:30.000 --> 03:33:31.520
He dropped off, fucking kill yourself. That's pretty much what it was,

2849
03:33:31.680 --> 03:33:35.920
you know, just kill yourself.
How about the go home run? Jeff

2850
03:33:35.920 --> 03:33:41.040
Hardy dropped Steve Austin with a twist
of fate, boss, You ready for

2851
03:33:41.120 --> 03:33:45.879
that? No, I'm not okay
with that, and it's completely irresponsible.

2852
03:33:46.000 --> 03:33:54.399
It's irregular and it occasional. When
they played the video package played the match,

2853
03:33:54.440 --> 03:33:56.120
I said, man, I hope
he wins. The guy in front

2854
03:33:56.120 --> 03:33:56.760
of me just looked at me and
shook his hand as if to say,

2855
03:33:56.799 --> 03:33:58.600
no, man, it's not happening, and he was right. All it

2856
03:33:58.639 --> 03:34:01.399
took was one sudden Arcaiot to put
Hardy down and clean for the three count.

2857
03:34:01.440 --> 03:34:03.239
Hardy got his due later in the
year, and frankly, the way

2858
03:34:03.360 --> 03:34:05.799
w B had Hardy chase the tad
over twelve months was done well. I

2859
03:34:05.840 --> 03:34:09.719
got up to get water after the
Santino segment, which proved to be a

2860
03:34:09.760 --> 03:34:11.120
dumb decision. The person in front
of me at the concession stand was getting

2861
03:34:11.159 --> 03:34:13.920
nachos and there was no more cheese
left. The concession worker had to go

2862
03:34:13.959 --> 03:34:16.479
to the back and get a new
back of nacho cheese. Then they had

2863
03:34:16.479 --> 03:34:20.680
to install it in the machine that
dispenses it. What the fuck this took

2864
03:34:20.760 --> 03:34:24.120
forever? I ended up missing Michael
Buffer's royal rumblin introduction, the Undertaker's entrance.

2865
03:34:24.159 --> 03:34:26.239
I know you guys don't care about
Buffer, but his stick has led

2866
03:34:26.120 --> 03:34:35.280
so cool to see the fun of
how he has these overly verbose entrances.

2867
03:34:35.520 --> 03:34:39.680
I love Buffer. Buffer is great, tremendous. I got back into the

2868
03:34:39.719 --> 03:34:41.200
arenas Michael's theme song started, so
who didn't miss the start of the match.

2869
03:34:41.360 --> 03:34:43.200
Wasn't the best rumble match of all
time, but it was good.

2870
03:34:43.399 --> 03:34:46.520
We had to keep getting up every
time a new entrant came down the aisle

2871
03:34:46.559 --> 03:34:48.520
because all the people in front of
us kept standing, and got to a

2872
03:34:48.559 --> 03:34:50.559
point where everyone was just stayed standing. When the clock hit zero for the

2873
03:34:50.600 --> 03:34:52.959
thirty entrant, it felt like time
had stopped. And then the white lights

2874
03:34:54.000 --> 03:34:56.000
flashed and the familiar horns of my
time is now blared over the speakers.

2875
03:34:56.000 --> 03:34:58.319
The first reaction of everyone in the
arena was just noise. No booming,

2876
03:34:58.360 --> 03:35:01.799
no cheering, just noise. Holy
shit, John Cena was back. Wasn't

2877
03:35:01.840 --> 03:35:05.000
his injury supposed to keep me out
for close to a year. Holy shit,

2878
03:35:05.079 --> 03:35:07.559
John Cena was back. Once the
shock. I've seen it. Returning

2879
03:35:07.559 --> 03:35:11.319
war Off, every one returned to
their anti scenic corners. I wasn't one

2880
03:35:11.360 --> 03:35:13.159
of the anti Sena people. I
wasn't a fan of his and I wanted

2881
03:35:13.200 --> 03:35:16.639
him to be less of a superman. But that night I was a Sena

2882
03:35:16.719 --> 03:35:18.120
fan. After the show, Tony
and I went to catch her train.

2883
03:35:18.479 --> 03:35:22.040
Let's go see a scene a suck
chance. Continue down into Penn Station.

2884
03:35:22.360 --> 03:35:24.920
One guy near a screen. He's
a cancer, No, it was something

2885
03:35:24.959 --> 03:35:31.159
else? Is he? Do we
know that a zodiac sign? Yeah?

2886
03:35:31.639 --> 03:35:35.440
We could never. When Sena defends, the defenders would say that he was

2887
03:35:35.440 --> 03:35:39.000
the top guy because he got the
reaction. This is what they were talking

2888
03:35:39.040 --> 03:35:41.200
about. They had guys, the
guy had fans going back and forth as

2889
03:35:41.200 --> 03:35:43.799
if they were still in the arena. I hadn't been in many live wrestling

2890
03:35:43.799 --> 03:35:46.840
events by that point in my life, but Roy Rumble two thousand and eight

2891
03:35:46.920 --> 03:35:48.399
was the greatest show I had seen
in person, and it was because of

2892
03:35:48.479 --> 03:35:52.200
those few minutes between Seena's return and
the end of the show. Just a

2893
03:35:52.239 --> 03:35:56.520
few quick thoughts to end the show
came in the middle of ww's last good

2894
03:35:56.559 --> 03:35:58.959
creative period. I know a lot
of people think we're in the middle of

2895
03:35:58.959 --> 03:36:01.280
a good creative period right now,
and maybe we are. The stuff with

2896
03:36:01.360 --> 03:36:03.799
Roman over the last four years has
certainly been unique. But I don't want

2897
03:36:03.799 --> 03:36:05.000
to watch week to week look I
used to. I don't watch week two

2898
03:36:05.000 --> 03:36:07.040
week look I used to. So
I don't think I can make a fair

2899
03:36:07.120 --> 03:36:11.079
judgment. However, at the time, between two thousand and seven Survivors Series

2900
03:36:11.079 --> 03:36:13.159
and Summer Slam two thousand and nine
was really good. Michael's Jericho, Edge,

2901
03:36:13.200 --> 03:36:16.200
Undertaker and Jeff Hardy CM Punk were
three feuds that were done very well,

2902
03:36:16.440 --> 03:36:18.760
with the Michael Jericho feud being the
best out of all of them.

2903
03:36:18.879 --> 03:36:20.920
I kind of agree with that,
and that was pretty good stuff. Yeah,

2904
03:36:22.079 --> 03:36:24.479
I was definitely still watching. I
I enjoyed that stuff quite a bit.

2905
03:36:24.920 --> 03:36:28.600
I know the Hopper winner who picked
the show it said that Sina was

2906
03:36:28.639 --> 03:36:30.719
not as big a hero after the
show because he didn't go on to win

2907
03:36:30.719 --> 03:36:33.120
the Deputy B title for Wharton.
But I actually liked Elcina was booked for

2908
03:36:33.159 --> 03:36:35.520
most of two thousand and eight.
He seemed human. He couldn't get the

2909
03:36:35.520 --> 03:36:37.959
Deputy be title from either Worton or
Triple Ag. She lost to JBL.

2910
03:36:37.040 --> 03:36:41.079
He lost to Patista, he wasn't
a dominant baby face that he had been

2911
03:36:41.159 --> 03:36:43.479
between two thousand and five and two
thousand and seven. It was refreshing.

2912
03:36:43.639 --> 03:36:46.280
Of course, he had beat Jericho
later that year for the World Heavyweight Championship

2913
03:36:46.319 --> 03:36:48.120
into real Jericho's momentum. I wish
that their feud could have gone to WrestleMania

2914
03:36:48.159 --> 03:36:50.879
twenty five and culminated with Sena winning
the title at that event. Instead,

2915
03:36:52.079 --> 03:36:54.719
Jericho deserved a main event match,
and it would have been better than stupid

2916
03:36:54.719 --> 03:36:58.120
angle between Sena, Edge and Big
Show, which saw Vicky Guerrero cheating on

2917
03:36:58.319 --> 03:37:01.120
Edge by making out with Big Show. Okay, maybe not every creative decision

2918
03:37:01.159 --> 03:37:03.920
during this time was great, but
the has Brown attitude urists weren't perfect either.

2919
03:37:05.040 --> 03:37:07.040
Anyway, Tony and I are going
to wrestle Manty forty this year and

2920
03:37:07.120 --> 03:37:09.479
we'll be at the bozos, biceps
and bullshit. Bruce. I remember seeing

2921
03:37:09.520 --> 03:37:11.680
you, guys. I remember the
fist bump. Very nice, yep.

2922
03:37:13.120 --> 03:37:15.399
If I approach you to say thank
you for everything you do, please be

2923
03:37:15.520 --> 03:37:18.879
nicer to me than Rick Flair,
all the best. Cliff Well, it

2924
03:37:18.959 --> 03:37:22.319
was glad to be just that.
Absolutely. I was thrilled, like the

2925
03:37:22.399 --> 03:37:24.559
way you know it was. I
mean, listen, I'll be the first

2926
03:37:24.639 --> 03:37:28.879
to admit, like, you know, it's it's awkward. It's awkward as

2927
03:37:28.920 --> 03:37:37.120
hell to have a fucking receiving line
going as long as it did. First,

2928
03:37:37.319 --> 03:37:39.280
we didn't even know there was going
to be right, you know,

2929
03:37:39.399 --> 03:37:41.000
that was not playing. To step
out of the concert hall and there's there's

2930
03:37:41.040 --> 03:37:45.799
like a lot of someone set up
up one of those rope things. Yeah,

2931
03:37:45.959 --> 03:37:48.120
there was a whole fucking thing.
And listen, I'm glad to do

2932
03:37:48.200 --> 03:37:52.799
it. Its just I was very
taken aback and it made me nervous,

2933
03:37:54.040 --> 03:37:56.479
like no, no question, like
I don't feel that, you know,

2934
03:37:56.680 --> 03:38:01.680
worthy of that shit. But listen, love you guys. Yep, they

2935
03:38:01.719 --> 03:38:07.559
did, and you know, happy, happy to be there and to do

2936
03:38:07.959 --> 03:38:15.959
something that you know, put a
smile on your face. Okay, here's

2937
03:38:16.040 --> 03:38:24.040
Chris my first WrestleMania Oh boy,
who use you? Hello? Co chairman,

2938
03:38:24.239 --> 03:38:26.239
first time riding Beta fan since nineteen
ninety? Wow were we done the

2939
03:38:26.280 --> 03:38:30.360
podcast nineteen ninety? I don't even
know that, brother, that's what broa

2940
03:38:30.600 --> 03:38:33.840
dude. I still have my Macho
King wrestling buddy. After hearing the summer

2941
03:38:35.000 --> 03:38:37.799
the Suma Slam ninety two episode of
That Fucking Cast with my very dear,

2942
03:38:37.879 --> 03:38:43.079
close personal, longtime trash friend trace
friend Darren. A little over a year

2943
03:38:43.120 --> 03:38:46.959
ago, I knew that I wanted
to know, I needed more, so

2944
03:38:46.079 --> 03:38:50.360
I started from the beginning and I'm
currently on WCW one censor ninety five with

2945
03:38:50.559 --> 03:38:54.360
ninety six episodes behind me. Over
the Edge ninety nine was a couple of

2946
03:38:54.399 --> 03:38:58.520
episodes before this one. Good Lord, that was a tough listen, but

2947
03:38:58.600 --> 03:39:03.840
I digress. We've got this friend, a twan aka Montezy. He's a

2948
03:39:03.959 --> 03:39:07.440
rapper that specializes in theme songs for
wrestlers. He's got a song in basically

2949
03:39:07.520 --> 03:39:13.079
every company except WWE, including Sammy
Guivara, Guava with Cheese, and Big

2950
03:39:13.239 --> 03:39:20.440
Swols aew Themes Moves from TNA,
among others. We met at mcw's Maryland

2951
03:39:20.520 --> 03:39:26.440
Championship Wrestling Shamrock Cup twenty fifteen.
We were both there to meet Roddy Piper.

2952
03:39:26.520 --> 03:39:30.200
This was the night of the Night
of the Last Piper's Pit. We

2953
03:39:30.319 --> 03:39:33.600
became fast friends. Fast forward about
two years and we're going to our first

2954
03:39:33.600 --> 03:39:39.840
Wrestlemanium, WrestleMania thirty three at Camping
World Stadium in Orlando. This is when

2955
03:39:39.879 --> 03:39:43.319
we went to the opposite direction right. Antoine lives in Florida, so he

2956
03:39:43.559 --> 03:39:48.280
and his grandma met me at the
airport and picked me up Thursday before the

2957
03:39:48.399 --> 03:39:50.000
mains. I'm not the type to
ask for comp tickets, but I won't

2958
03:39:50.040 --> 03:39:54.360
refuse them if offered, and as
a result, got to do a lot

2959
03:39:54.440 --> 03:39:58.920
of cool shit I'd otherwise not be
able to do. My friend opened the

2960
03:39:58.000 --> 03:40:01.799
Russell Kahn Kicko party with a short
set before a Q and A with sting

2961
03:40:03.000 --> 03:40:05.959
Rick Flair and Jim Ross. I
was surprised to see Jim Ross theirs.

2962
03:40:05.000 --> 03:40:09.840
His wife just died a week or
so before this. That's right, Wow,

2963
03:40:11.399 --> 03:40:13.440
I don't know it was right there, that's crazy. He got me

2964
03:40:13.520 --> 03:40:18.399
into the Evolved show happening in Orlando, where I got to see Zach Saber

2965
03:40:18.600 --> 03:40:22.280
Junior twist Ach into a pretzel,
along with being the first time I ever

2966
03:40:22.360 --> 03:40:28.040
saw Keith Lee Russell. That big
man can fucking fly. I walked into

2967
03:40:28.079 --> 03:40:31.760
Russell Khan with my pink and black
zubaz An American flag fanny pack with a

2968
03:40:31.840 --> 03:40:35.760
tight budget. The only meet and
greet side I went for was Al Snow

2969
03:40:35.840 --> 03:40:41.719
and mean gene Oakerland also told me. He but only admired my zubaz but

2970
03:40:41.879 --> 03:40:46.840
also my fanny pack. Made me
feel like a million bucks. Despite my

2971
03:40:46.959 --> 03:40:50.920
budget, Antoine managed to get me
pictures with Sabu, Johnny Mundo, and

2972
03:40:50.040 --> 03:40:54.639
Rikishi too. While walking around the
convention. At one point, out of

2973
03:40:54.719 --> 03:40:58.920
nowhere, Tony Atlas walks up to
Antoina starts shaking his hand all aggressively and

2974
03:40:58.000 --> 03:41:03.280
saying, Hey, Coco, Beware, how you doing, Go go beware.

2975
03:41:03.680 --> 03:41:07.239
Nice to see you, Coco,
Beware. We couldn't tell at the

2976
03:41:07.280 --> 03:41:09.000
time if this was a rib or
if he was serious, but looking back,

2977
03:41:09.600 --> 03:41:13.319
I think he was fucking with us. Next up was NXT Takeover Orlando,

2978
03:41:13.399 --> 03:41:18.040
where I get to see the debut
of Alistair Black and bask in the

2979
03:41:18.120 --> 03:41:20.639
gloriousness that is Bobby Rude. We
got lost on the way out of the

2980
03:41:20.760 --> 03:41:24.000
Armway Center. We couldn't find our
parking spot and our phones were dying.

2981
03:41:24.520 --> 03:41:28.760
My friend got a lift and the
guy didn't speak any English. Just left,

2982
03:41:28.920 --> 03:41:31.040
right and straight was all he knew. We went in a circle like

2983
03:41:31.159 --> 03:41:35.639
three times before we ended up back
where he picked us up, where I

2984
03:41:35.719 --> 03:41:41.120
looked across the street and saw my
friend's fucking car turns out the turn.

2985
03:41:41.319 --> 03:41:43.879
Turns out the ass hat running the
lot took down the ten dollars parking sign

2986
03:41:45.280 --> 03:41:46.799
and put up a twenty dollars one
while we were in the venue. We

2987
03:41:46.920 --> 03:41:52.159
were laughing all the way back to
the hotel. WrestleMania Sunday. This wasn't

2988
03:41:52.319 --> 03:41:54.879
though, This wasn't the best WrestleMania
by a long shot. The atmosphere was

2989
03:41:54.920 --> 03:42:00.479
electric, the fighter jets flying overhead
after America the beautiful was bad as it

2990
03:42:00.600 --> 03:42:03.680
was cool being a part of a
U suck chant. When they announced the

2991
03:42:03.719 --> 03:42:07.399
headliner for the Hall of Fame that
year, Kurt Angle. I enjoyed a

2992
03:42:07.479 --> 03:42:11.600
solid five minute match between old Berg
and Bork Laser. It was disappointing to

2993
03:42:11.639 --> 03:42:16.559
see the Underseellar do just that and
sell and job to Roman Reigns. I

2994
03:42:16.719 --> 03:42:20.280
was in the nosebleeds on the opposite
end of the stadium for the entrance ramp,

2995
03:42:20.559 --> 03:42:24.840
but I swear I could feel the
heat from Taker's entrance. It's true,

2996
03:42:24.879 --> 03:42:28.200
you can that. I remember feeling
the heat for those and very You

2997
03:42:28.280 --> 03:42:31.719
know, I should not have felt
the heat from those things. From all

2998
03:42:31.840 --> 03:42:37.680
that, the Pyro for Cain,
for Undertaker, it's not okay. Especially

2999
03:42:37.920 --> 03:42:39.799
yeah, if I can hear it
if I can feel it, you know,

3000
03:42:41.479 --> 03:42:46.000
you know, in the opposite you
know place of you know, the

3001
03:42:46.000 --> 03:42:50.239
opposite position of the of the arena
or stadium. I would not want to

3002
03:42:50.280 --> 03:42:56.520
be close. That's not fun.
My favorite moment of that night, by

3003
03:42:56.600 --> 03:43:03.520
far was the Hardy's comeback. That
was deafening. All in all, it

3004
03:43:03.639 --> 03:43:07.239
was a great time, so great. I did it again this the following

3005
03:43:07.280 --> 03:43:09.159
year in New Orleans, and I'm
about to go to my third in less

3006
03:43:09.159 --> 03:43:11.639
than three weeks when it comes to
Philly. Thank you, guys for all

3007
03:43:11.680 --> 03:43:15.879
that you do. Thank you for
all the laughs. Thank you your time,

3008
03:43:16.120 --> 03:43:20.600
your clothes, and your motorcycle.
Brother, and of course thank you

3009
03:43:20.760 --> 03:43:26.159
for Hulk Mania. Brother, Thank
you, dude. Why great memories?

3010
03:43:26.200 --> 03:43:33.399
There cross section of experiences from the
solar system. This has lapsed poly cautiously

3011
03:43:33.520 --> 03:43:35.680
rights listening to the task master fulfill
the prophecy. Been talking about shoveling while

3012
03:43:35.719 --> 03:43:39.639
driving through a late March snowstorm to
get work. To get to work this

3013
03:43:39.760 --> 03:43:46.239
morning, I finally cut the rare
white Bengal Tiger vala. Recently, Kevin

3014
03:43:46.319 --> 03:43:50.479
Sultan Neil writes, as touches Vader
can be, I got to take a

3015
03:43:50.559 --> 03:43:52.600
side on this one. I remember
this is Hogan Verusvader for all five.

3016
03:43:54.159 --> 03:43:56.799
I remember as a kid thinking that
after the Hogan matches that Vader was kind

3017
03:43:56.840 --> 03:43:58.559
of finished as a dominating force.
Wow, he left him in the dust,

3018
03:43:58.559 --> 03:44:01.319
didn't he He had lost before,
but it was always something like Flair

3019
03:44:01.360 --> 03:44:05.399
or Sting managing to seize on a
mistake and pin him. Hulk always beat

3020
03:44:05.479 --> 03:44:09.239
Vader soundly and finished him off as
a force in North America. They were

3021
03:44:09.280 --> 03:44:11.120
even prepping him for a baby face
running WCW before he was fired, which

3022
03:44:11.159 --> 03:44:15.280
probably reflected his diminished reputation. There
was even a sense when he came to

3023
03:44:15.399 --> 03:44:18.520
WWF that he was spent force looking
to gain some of his menace back.

3024
03:44:18.559 --> 03:44:22.959
I was thrilled when he came to
w Yeah, that was another one of

3025
03:44:22.000 --> 03:44:26.280
those guys where it was like,
oh shit, but died is turning amazing,

3026
03:44:26.479 --> 03:44:30.200
isn't it? Well? I mean
people, I mean people that fou

3027
03:44:30.239 --> 03:44:33.399
on ww ninety five. After that, the Vader they knew was gone.

3028
03:44:33.639 --> 03:44:37.440
Yeah right, he's not only gone
from the company, but he could incredibly

3029
03:44:37.520 --> 03:44:39.280
be portrayed again like he had been
because Hogan was there, and Hogan had

3030
03:44:39.559 --> 03:44:45.239
you know, had sunned to him
basically, guess I never saw it like

3031
03:44:45.319 --> 03:44:48.040
that, but I know I'm weird. Nick for AM Minnesota Good Day co

3032
03:44:48.159 --> 03:44:50.600
Chairs. Looking back over the past
ten years of listening to that cast,

3033
03:44:50.600 --> 03:44:54.159
since I heard t J and Cheap
Seats talking about having to produce a seven

3034
03:44:54.200 --> 03:44:56.120
hour podcast in Wrestleman he seventeen,
I have a lot of memories. The

3035
03:44:56.159 --> 03:45:01.399
most prominent one happens to be with
getting my mother to listen to My mom

3036
03:45:01.520 --> 03:45:05.159
is as normal as they come,
two kids, middle class receptionist at an

3037
03:45:05.159 --> 03:45:07.920
insurance company, and never had an
interest in anything to eccentric like pro wrestling.

3038
03:45:09.200 --> 03:45:11.280
That was until you guys, dropped
the deepest of dies into the Cris

3039
03:45:11.360 --> 03:45:13.639
Ben Wat tragedy. Oh boy.
Since I knew she was a fan of

3040
03:45:13.639 --> 03:45:16.879
true crime books and stories, I
went out in a limb and recommended this

3041
03:45:16.959 --> 03:45:18.159
episode to her, maybe just to
humor me. She told me she would

3042
03:45:18.159 --> 03:45:20.000
give it a try on her way
to work the next day. Two days

3043
03:45:20.079 --> 03:45:24.879
later, I got a text I
finished that podcast. I think there were

3044
03:45:24.920 --> 03:45:30.000
any more episodes, I'd lene,
Oh my god. I thought she was

3045
03:45:30.079 --> 03:45:33.399
mistaken and only had listened to part
one because two days just seemed too fast.

3046
03:45:33.520 --> 03:45:35.319
To my amazement, though she had
gone through all the parts, yes,

3047
03:45:35.879 --> 03:45:39.600
even connecting her work headset to her
phone so she could listen while at

3048
03:45:39.639 --> 03:45:41.559
work. The only other episode I
could think of that she would like was

3049
03:45:41.559 --> 03:45:45.200
Over the Edge nineteen ninety nine.
She blew through that episode of No Time

3050
03:45:45.200 --> 03:45:46.319
and asked if I ever think of
any of the episodes that she might like

3051
03:45:46.399 --> 03:45:50.000
to let her know. I couldn't
think of anything else to recommend that it

3052
03:45:50.239 --> 03:45:54.440
was until she watched The Iron Claw
and asked me how accurate it was.

3053
03:45:54.680 --> 03:45:56.879
Oh, my god, no,
no, no, that there happens to

3054
03:45:58.000 --> 03:46:01.760
be. Oh, there's a particular
podcast the actor who played Fritz used to

3055
03:46:01.799 --> 03:46:11.920
prepare for the role. There's a
particular podcast. There's a particular podcast called

3056
03:46:11.000 --> 03:46:20.239
time Fan Cold, time Lapse Fan. My sixty four year old mother is

3057
03:46:20.319 --> 03:46:24.440
now going through the entire My god, why. When I asked her how

3058
03:46:24.520 --> 03:46:28.319
she liked it, she responded with
they can be a little dirty sometimes,

3059
03:46:33.360 --> 03:46:35.040
but I just make sure no one
else can hear me listening to it.

3060
03:46:35.360 --> 03:46:39.920
Oh my god, what a what
a fucking what a what a trooper?

3061
03:46:41.000 --> 03:46:43.559
She is? All you have in
your heart is shame and pain. You're

3062
03:46:43.639 --> 03:46:46.399
damn right, Thank you, both, Nick writes for being with me in

3063
03:46:46.399 --> 03:46:48.920
the good times and helping get through
the bad. Tlf for life. That

3064
03:46:50.079 --> 03:46:52.479
one, God treasure, that one
I'm going to try. Yes. Yes,

3065
03:46:52.680 --> 03:46:56.920
the fact that we have four year
old mom used four year old mom

3066
03:46:56.040 --> 03:47:03.760
fucking like, oh shit, that
is fucking me up right now. Justin

3067
03:47:03.840 --> 03:47:07.520
Harmon, Thank you very much for
that deep and abiding and high level pledge.

3068
03:47:07.959 --> 03:47:13.600
Michael Shop, thank you very much
for increasing your pledge. Sean makes

3069
03:47:13.600 --> 03:47:16.000
a great point, you know,
as we talked about Bob Holly in the

3070
03:47:16.040 --> 03:47:18.520
two thousand and eight Royal Rumbo.
By the way, Ronda Rousey's going to

3071
03:47:18.559 --> 03:47:24.600
be quickly added to this pantheon of
Oh Frank, I cannot wait, Oh

3072
03:47:24.680 --> 03:47:28.719
my god. I mean, I
know some people can't stand her, but

3073
03:47:28.040 --> 03:47:31.840
man, is she a gift when
it comes to Joe. I love it

3074
03:47:31.639 --> 03:47:37.639
having no fox given about you know, anybody who pissed her off, she's

3075
03:47:37.680 --> 03:47:41.879
gonna like she's gonna talk about it
until she's in the grave. Tremendous,

3076
03:47:41.760 --> 03:47:46.040
Sean says. Bob Holly is the
retired wrestler who appears to friend's family and

3077
03:47:46.079 --> 03:47:48.000
neighbors to live a normal life.
Wakes up early to go for a morning

3078
03:47:48.079 --> 03:47:50.799
run with the dog to come back
and pick up the recently delivered newspaper on

3079
03:47:50.840 --> 03:47:54.959
his porch, volunteers to coach Little
League, helps out with anyone's car trouble

3080
03:47:54.959 --> 03:47:58.040
in the neighborhood, and only asks
for a six pack his payment. However,

3081
03:47:58.079 --> 03:48:01.680
everyone knows to leave Bob alone on
Monday Friday nights, even in the

3082
03:48:01.719 --> 03:48:07.399
house of sisters. Come on,
you know this is Bob. Yes,

3083
03:48:07.520 --> 03:48:11.959
this all makes sense, all gets
all busy. Yeah, you know,

3084
03:48:11.079 --> 03:48:15.840
like he fucking yes exactly, he
gets ready, sits down, and he

3085
03:48:16.120 --> 03:48:22.600
is going to go for it.
Bob spends those evenings watching general grappling with

3086
03:48:22.760 --> 03:48:26.000
organized pretent. Yes, his hands
on his hips, standing up the whole

3087
03:48:26.079 --> 03:48:33.280
time, and fucking going back and
forth and back and forth. He's ready,

3088
03:48:33.479 --> 03:48:37.159
He's just like he's waiting for his
moment to just fucking pounce. That

3089
03:48:37.239 --> 03:48:41.159
could have been him, It should
have been him, and this is bullshit.

3090
03:48:41.120 --> 03:48:46.079
The only safeway to approach him is
with a bomb disposal outfit. Tuesday

3091
03:48:46.120 --> 03:48:48.600
and Saturday mornings are spent putting the
living room back together and driving to Target

3092
03:48:48.639 --> 03:48:52.079
to buy a new TV. No
one bats an eye as it's good old

3093
03:48:52.120 --> 03:48:56.920
Bob brother. Sean that was poetry. I love the paint you painted there,

3094
03:48:56.959 --> 03:49:00.399
and I think you're exactly correct.
By the way, I agree,

3095
03:49:01.120 --> 03:49:03.520
I mean tremendous. I mean we
need cranky rest often. You know how

3096
03:49:03.799 --> 03:49:07.760
I said before, you know,
learn to be entertained by people with bad

3097
03:49:07.760 --> 03:49:11.239
attitude. Yes, yes, that
extends here, by the way, Oh,

3098
03:49:11.360 --> 03:49:16.920
without a doubt, without a doubt, fucking tremendous. Yes, just

3099
03:49:16.000 --> 03:49:18.440
people that are just you know,
they were a big enough deal that they

3100
03:49:18.479 --> 03:49:22.200
could see the big stars operate,
yes, but a small enough deal that

3101
03:49:22.239 --> 03:49:28.520
they cycled out and felt left in
the dust by the nis tremendous. Steven

3102
03:49:28.559 --> 03:49:31.799
writes, hmm, oh, this
is us wondering why Slaughter would have been

3103
03:49:31.840 --> 03:49:37.120
received as such a clear heel before
the Chic feud in wwwf uh huh.

3104
03:49:37.559 --> 03:49:39.600
You know, like, what was
it about him besides the Gomer pile teasing

3105
03:49:39.719 --> 03:49:43.319
chance that made people so hate an
American drill sergeant, somebody who was supposed

3106
03:49:43.319 --> 03:49:48.280
to be an American military heroes who
really did nothing different to become an uber

3107
03:49:48.319 --> 03:49:52.200
babyface against iron Chic besides confront him
in the isleway Ones and Steve puts it

3108
03:49:52.280 --> 03:49:56.360
nicely, and others explain it to
us as well. Slaughter is a heel

3109
03:49:56.360 --> 03:49:58.239
gimmick makes a lot more sense if
you place yourself in the average wrestling crowd

3110
03:49:58.280 --> 03:50:01.840
in the late seventies in the early
eighties, where you're going to have a

3111
03:50:01.920 --> 03:50:05.159
large percentage of the men in attendance
having served and probably as enlisted men.

3112
03:50:05.760 --> 03:50:11.079
The slots represents every hard hassed drill
instructor or staff sergeant or whatnot that private

3113
03:50:11.120 --> 03:50:15.840
wrestling fan had to endure well in
the service. Of course, this was

3114
03:50:15.920 --> 03:50:18.399
back before the middle and upper classes
in this country stopped serving in the military

3115
03:50:18.479 --> 03:50:22.799
and we started hollowing the men willing
to be violent and mean on our behalf

3116
03:50:24.120 --> 03:50:28.040
a personal heel from a time before
every veteran became a hero. That's fascinating.

3117
03:50:28.879 --> 03:50:33.399
I mean, yeah, right,
everyone hated mister McMahon because it was

3118
03:50:33.440 --> 03:50:37.600
their boss. Yes, well,
every every military man, Sergeant Slaughter was

3119
03:50:37.680 --> 03:50:43.399
their boss, right, I guess
that's true. That's true. Jeff writes,

3120
03:50:43.399 --> 03:50:48.639
when your wife thinks something ki,
yeah, Jeff writes, when your

3121
03:50:48.680 --> 03:50:52.399
wife thinks something is wrong because you
yell, oh fuck. When Jp says

3122
03:50:52.559 --> 03:50:58.239
Dutch is coming soon under the cinema, Aiden Kivelhan, thanks for that incredible

3123
03:50:58.239 --> 03:51:03.000
support. My friend, We really
appreciate it, Fred Denstroff getting the job

3124
03:51:03.079 --> 03:51:07.600
done. Yes, Christopher Manning,
thanks for the cake, He writes Chairman,

3125
03:51:07.040 --> 03:51:09.840
I got caught up on all of
my other podcasts and had nothing left

3126
03:51:09.840 --> 03:51:13.479
to listen to in the car on
long walks or in short runs. Upgraded

3127
03:51:13.520 --> 03:51:16.799
to executive producer, tire and have
your movie podcast to have his company forever,

3128

to hearing this email in September when

3129
03:51:20.239 --> 03:51:22.040
you get to the next mail bag
after the next unexpectedly long journey takes up

3130
03:51:22.040 --> 03:51:26.879
the entire summer. Oh god,
you know these things happen. Keep up

3131
03:51:26.879 --> 03:51:28.920
the great work and have an amazing
time in Philly. W Well, an

3132
03:51:28.920 --> 03:51:31.520
amazing time was had, Alli writes, Dear Jack and JP, what was

3133
03:51:31.559 --> 03:51:35.840
the most off brand thing about Hulk
Cogan's initial WCW run. I'll go first

3134
03:51:35.680 --> 03:51:41.559
the shade of yellow used for Hogan's
merch. Did you detect a different yellow

3135
03:51:41.600 --> 03:51:46.840
in WW then? W F absolutely
absolutely, he had a yes, Yes,

3136
03:51:46.920 --> 03:51:50.440
it's a brighter. It's like the
yellow in WW is a more of

3137
03:51:50.479 --> 03:51:56.319
an orange yellow, okay, whereas
the it's like more of almost Neon esque

3138
03:51:56.920 --> 03:52:03.600
yellow in WCW and is neon one
problematic. Oh yeah, oh god,

3139
03:52:03.680 --> 03:52:07.120
yeah, absolutely. I mean it's
it's it's like it's weird because it's like,

3140
03:52:07.200 --> 03:52:13.040
yes, it is, it is. It's just yeah, it just

3141
03:52:13.159 --> 03:52:18.440
does not work. It's not okay, it's unhealthy. It's like too cartoonish.

3142
03:52:18.520 --> 03:52:24.920
What it's too bright. It's like
it's it's it's it looks it means

3143
03:52:26.000 --> 03:52:28.120
you know again, it's like neon
yellow. It's a bright bright yellow.

3144
03:52:28.399 --> 03:52:33.319
Like no, that's not Hogan,
No, it's gonna be. It's almost

3145
03:52:33.319 --> 03:52:39.159
it's like it almost a light orange
is what it was, you know.

3146
03:52:39.200 --> 03:52:43.200
Rick Kobos, thanks for the support. Steve Tackett, thank you so very

Josh Hunter Shannon. I've just joined
your patreon. Not three, sixteen,

talents and turmoil or getting fifty right off?

3159
03:53:54.920 --> 03:53:56.840
If you tell me for a bit, I'm going to tell you and

3160
03:53:56.840 --> 03:54:01.719
those who haven't joined your Patreon yet
why I did. I've been an amputee

3161
03:54:01.159 --> 03:54:05.840
for a larger percent of my life
than you've standard vernngagny talent take in nineteen

3162
03:54:05.879 --> 03:54:11.680
eighty one, at fourteen months old
and contracted mining h mening o coal meningitis.

3163
03:54:13.280 --> 03:54:16.639
I've heard of that kind before.
I don't know mening a coal meningitis.

3164
03:54:16.840 --> 03:54:18.159
I was in a coma for six
weeks and had to have my toes

3165
03:54:18.200 --> 03:54:22.760
and my right foot amputated as well
as needed extensive skin grafts over a third

3166
03:54:22.799 --> 03:54:24.520
of my body. My parents were
told by multiple doctors that if by some

3167
03:54:24.639 --> 03:54:26.879
chance I did survive, I wouldn't
be able to walk, talk, feed

3168
03:54:26.959 --> 03:54:31.000
myself, et cetera. I surprised
everyone lapsed vents. Of course you did,

3169
03:54:31.040 --> 03:54:33.239
you dumb shit. You fucking writing
it up. You're fucking writing it

3170
03:54:33.639 --> 03:54:37.280
ahem. Anyhow, fast forward five
years. Off come the leg braces.

3171
03:54:37.360 --> 03:54:41.399
No more seizures, Run forest run. I added that. Fast forward another

3172
03:54:41.479 --> 03:54:43.559
five years. I then ten,
and all other elementary students in our school

3173
03:54:43.559 --> 03:54:46.920
were given exams. When the results
came back, I had the math skills

3174
03:54:46.959 --> 03:54:50.639
and understanding of a college student,
and for English it was post college.

3175
03:54:50.680 --> 03:54:52.959
Please don't consider I'm bragging. It's
just just illustrating my point. I will

3176
03:54:52.959 --> 03:54:56.200
get you shortly, lapsed, Michler. Better be shortly, mister Shannon.

3177
03:54:58.280 --> 03:55:00.879
I've got a Ruben waiting for me. I gave leeway to Vince McMahon,

3178
03:55:00.920 --> 03:55:03.200
but you sare no Vince McMahon lapsed. Vince from the background. You're damn

3179
03:55:03.280 --> 03:55:07.680
right, he ain't. Mischler McMahon, What did I say about you or

3180
03:55:07.719 --> 03:55:11.639
any of your carnies in my side? Again? Vince huh, what what's

3181
03:55:11.719 --> 03:55:16.200
going on? Where am I?
Oh? Sorry? Wrong? Room closed

3182
03:55:16.239 --> 03:55:18.600
to the door he was listening behind. May I continue? Okay, So

3183
03:55:18.040 --> 03:55:20.600
this is when I first recall falling
in love with pro wrestling, and my

3184
03:55:20.719 --> 03:55:24.319
markedroom was formed. Over the passing
years and painful surgeries, much of what

3185
03:55:24.440 --> 03:55:30.760
got me through for the production of
Vincent PTSD Barnum McMahon. I knew,

3186
03:55:30.799 --> 03:55:33.399
or at least greatly suspected it was
fake from the start, but I was

3187
03:55:33.440 --> 03:55:35.360
lost in that world and wanted to
know everything about it. At twenty eight,

3188
03:55:35.479 --> 03:55:39.520
the epilepsy returns, resulting concussions and
TBI from a couple of accidents.

3189
03:55:39.840 --> 03:55:43.479
At thirty six, a heart attack, one stint, at shortly after forty

3190
03:55:43.520 --> 03:55:48.040
a second, four more stints.
Three weeks later, during the height of

3191
03:55:48.079 --> 03:55:50.280
COVID, I was rushed to an
emergency room because I had a blood clot

3192
03:55:50.319 --> 03:55:52.719
in my colon, half of which
was dead, and I was dying of

3193
03:55:52.799 --> 03:55:56.399
toxic shock. And due to COVID
it was literally air tight. It was

3194
03:55:58.040 --> 03:56:01.120
sorry, I due to COVID,
it was literally air flight me the one

3195
03:56:01.200 --> 03:56:05.680
place they finally found they could take
the hour then or I die. Wrestling

3196
03:56:05.719 --> 03:56:09.639
got me through it last year,
someone who I was close to and lived

3197
03:56:09.639 --> 03:56:11.879
with became a meth head and had
a psychotic break and tried to kill my

3198
03:56:13.000 --> 03:56:16.200
father multiple times Jesus bashing indoors to
try. This is where you, my

3199
03:56:16.280 --> 03:56:20.079
heroes, come into my story.
You two laps holes got me through it

3200
03:56:20.719 --> 03:56:22.319
from the stress three weeks ago a
third heart attack. But when I opened

3201
03:56:22.319 --> 03:56:24.719
my eyes after surgery, I knew
it was okay. I was going to

3202
03:56:24.760 --> 03:56:28.600
survive this. I had you two
by my side. The lapsed fan just

3203
03:56:28.639 --> 03:56:31.760
doesn't change lives, it saves them. I swear to our Lord and Savior,

3204
03:56:31.840 --> 03:56:35.120
the Warlord, this is all shoot. Thank you for the laughter both,

3205
03:56:35.239 --> 03:56:37.799
thank you both for the strength,
and thank you for the lapsed fucking

3206
03:56:37.920 --> 03:56:39.159
fan. I know this is long. You don't need to read it all

3207
03:56:39.200 --> 03:56:41.680
on the cast, but if you
read any of your all of it,

3208
03:56:41.760 --> 03:56:45.600
can you let me know what GP
it drops on EPs is the same.

3209
03:56:45.639 --> 03:56:48.920
Fine? Uh no, but you'll
find it one day, Joe. It'll

3210
03:56:48.959 --> 03:56:52.920
happen. Yes, And we're very
glad to be of service and that you're

3211
03:56:54.760 --> 03:56:58.719
you're still still alive and kicking.
Andre writes, as we head into Man

3212
03:57:00.200 --> 03:57:01.840
and I'd once again throw an extra
cheddar to the deserving CoA chairs to give

3213
03:57:01.879 --> 03:57:05.200
all I can at this special time
of year, time and jump back in

3214
03:57:05.239 --> 03:57:09.799
a cinemat and find out if Carney's
truly are forever. I would like to

3215
03:57:09.840 --> 03:57:13.239
share a quick story about how it
only ten years old, my daughter may

3216
03:57:13.239 --> 03:57:16.079
already be lapsed. As a lifelong
fan of over thirty five years, I

3217
03:57:16.120 --> 03:57:18.360
figured eventually my daughter would at least
briefly flirt with per determined pugilism. This

3218
03:57:18.440 --> 03:57:22.159
past December, I managed to secure
some front row seats to a WW show

3219
03:57:22.159 --> 03:57:24.760
and was going to take my daughter
as a surprise. I introduced her to

3220
03:57:24.799 --> 03:57:26.799
fake fisticuff some months earlier and was
blown away at how much it enraptured her

3221
03:57:26.840 --> 03:57:31.239
attention. She was hooked and had
no idea what she was in for a

3222
03:57:31.319 --> 03:57:33.799
few months down the road and we
piled them to the family trucks her for

3223
03:57:33.920 --> 03:57:37.159
what she thought was a boring shopping
road trip. Her surprise was palpable and

3224
03:57:37.200 --> 03:57:41.079
she couldn't believe that she was about
to witness spurious suplexus. To my surprise,

3225
03:57:43.360 --> 03:57:46.639
that's good. To my surprise.
During the opening tag match with Sammy's

3226
03:57:46.680 --> 03:57:48.399
Ana and jay Uso taking on the
judgment day, she became quite quiet and

3227
03:57:48.440 --> 03:57:52.159
whispered to me that she thought maybe
she preferred to just watch at home.

3228
03:57:52.360 --> 03:57:56.079
I could tell that she'd become overwhelmed
with a loud music, noise and perceived

3229
03:57:56.200 --> 03:57:58.799
violince up close. It sure seems
like the wrestlers are hitting each other hard.

3230
03:57:58.479 --> 03:58:03.639
I knew what I had to do, Yes, podcast purveyors, I

3231
03:58:03.719 --> 03:58:13.840
had to tell my daughter that it's
fucking fake. I explained to her that

3232
03:58:13.879 --> 03:58:16.200
the wrestlers knew what was going to
happen, that they weren't actually trying to

3233
03:58:16.280 --> 03:58:18.000
kill each other. Her wheels turned, her gears churned. She said,

3234
03:58:18.040 --> 03:58:22.319
oh, well, that makes me
feel way better. Dad. Have you

3235
03:58:22.399 --> 03:58:28.120
been lying to me? Yes?
Are they lying to me? Yes?

3236
03:58:28.799 --> 03:58:31.680
Why did you do it for your
entertainment? Why did you lie to me?

3237
03:58:33.600 --> 03:58:35.639
I wanted you to have fun.
I wanted to put a smile on

3238
03:58:35.719 --> 03:58:45.479
your face. Why do you make
me read the Satanic verses as well?

3239
03:58:48.879 --> 03:58:52.079
You did made me go to a
I'm not going to do it, but

3240
03:58:52.200 --> 03:58:54.879
I went to a very dark place
right there. I explained to her that

3241
03:58:54.959 --> 03:58:56.159
the wrestlers knew what was going to
happen. Yes, yes, yes.

3242
03:58:56.639 --> 03:59:01.120
Within a minute, her anxiety lesson
in her body language relaxed. Then she

3243
03:59:01.280 --> 03:59:03.319
knit her brows with righteous indignation and
crossed her arms and looked at me.

3244
03:59:03.399 --> 03:59:05.840
Great, So who's going to be
scripted to win the next stupid match?

3245
03:59:07.120 --> 03:59:13.479
Oh she's maturing quickly. These guys
are fucking CUNTSI lapsed at only ten years

3246
03:59:13.520 --> 03:59:16.200
old. Oh, I fucking love
it. After a little explaining that we

3247
03:59:16.239 --> 03:59:18.879
don't get mad about movies being scripted, she got back on board and had

3248
03:59:18.879 --> 03:59:22.239
the most fun I've ever seen her
have, cheering and screaming, and even

3249
03:59:22.280 --> 03:59:26.000
went on to be the recipient of
Cody Roads's white belt, making her making

3250
03:59:26.079 --> 03:59:28.879
four a truly magical night. But
I almost lost her at match one.

3251
03:59:28.479 --> 03:59:31.959
Thanks for all your hard work,
boys. The cast is never long enough,

3252
03:59:31.000 --> 03:59:33.959
and as a lover of cinema,
House must commend JP, who's absolutely

3253
03:59:35.040 --> 03:59:37.959
hit a wonderful stride on cinemat which
is an absolutely necessary compliment to the main

3254
03:59:39.040 --> 03:59:41.760
show. The cast always goes deep
into my ears during mundane tasks and every

3255
03:59:41.840 --> 03:59:45.840
night before bed, and deep into
my arse at all times. Thank you

3256
03:59:45.920 --> 03:59:50.680
for whole comania andres the service we
provide. And it's a wonderful little vignette

3257
03:59:50.719 --> 03:59:54.479
there, isn't it? The coming
of age story. I love that.

3258
03:59:54.280 --> 03:59:58.879
I love that one. Hockeen Nights
CT writes on Patreon. Bob Holly is

3259
04:00:00.079 --> 04:00:03.079
the only wrestler who should have been
allowed to write multiple books just to update

3260
04:00:03.200 --> 04:00:05.959
us on any new assholes he may
have discovered. Yes, I totally agree.

3261
04:00:07.639 --> 04:00:13.879
This guy is a totally undiscovered treasure. Underdiscovered, I think is the

3262
04:00:13.920 --> 04:00:18.040
word I'm looking for. Are you
ready for somemore Brian? Oh? Of

3263
04:00:18.280 --> 04:00:22.719
course he has a kind of a
more personal one instead of just the greatest

3264
04:00:22.799 --> 04:00:26.000
hits. But it's fine. It's
a kind of combination of the two.

3265
04:00:26.280 --> 04:00:37.399
Boy uh rewind rewind rewind Holy shit, Jesus Christ, Hello, CoA chairs.

3266
04:00:37.399 --> 04:00:39.159
I first heard about the show on
a message board. Someone was discussing

3267
04:00:39.200 --> 04:00:46.319
the Canadian Stampede episode and lapsed Helen
Hart saying she should have aborted Bruce fucking

3268
04:00:46.360 --> 04:00:48.639
hell. I knew immediately I needed
to listen. It was a great episode

3269
04:00:48.639 --> 04:00:52.920
to listen to thanks to the amazing
lats. Here is a snippet of this

3270
04:00:52.040 --> 04:01:00.399
bit. Bruce, shut the fuck
up. Nobody likes you all right already.

3271
04:01:00.719 --> 04:01:03.520
Fucking Look, you were a big
mistake. Not only were you not

3272
04:01:05.319 --> 04:01:09.840
not only were you not ship Bruce. Not only not only were you not

3273
04:01:09.079 --> 04:01:13.799
planned, but I should have had
that abortion. I was in the room.

3274
04:01:15.520 --> 04:01:18.200
I was gonna do it. Bruce. You are you are a walking

3275
04:01:18.319 --> 04:01:26.399
abortion, all right. It should
have been nonexistent, the biggest mistake of

3276
04:01:26.520 --> 04:01:31.920
my life. You should not exist. So, by the grace of Hell,

3277
04:01:31.440 --> 04:01:37.760
by the grace of Satan, you're
here. I love the riff on

3278
04:01:37.920 --> 04:01:48.200
how Jr. Pronounced Great Sasuke Sasuke
as Great Sauce a k which led to

3279
04:01:48.280 --> 04:02:01.479
you the Great Meat Sausake Virgil under
a Mask, which is even funnier after

3280
04:02:01.559 --> 04:02:09.600
the tribute episode, The Great Misso
super Ka, the Great Tip to the

3281
04:02:09.680 --> 04:02:18.159
Great hip Tosske, the Charlie Hasseke, Oh my god, the Big bossa

3282
04:02:18.239 --> 04:02:28.159
ke Man Jim rossa Ke, and
the Winkle Fossaki, Oh my god,

3283
04:02:28.280 --> 04:02:33.879
that is a fucking like holy shit, I forgot all about that. I

3284
04:02:33.000 --> 04:02:37.360
wonder who, I wonder who had
just fucking watched h the uh the Social

3285
04:02:37.440 --> 04:02:45.959
Network and one of my fucking was
like Winkle foth Great. The wonderful bits

3286
04:02:46.000 --> 04:02:48.920
and the amazing insight into the ten
man tag main event immediately hooked me on

3287
04:02:48.959 --> 04:02:52.680
the show, featuring a little bit
of everything that makes TLF great, and

3288
04:02:52.760 --> 04:02:56.200
I went back to the beginning with
summer Son ninety one and caught up as

3289
04:02:56.239 --> 04:03:00.159
soon as I could. Speaking of
Sumislam, I firmly believed that Shimoslam is

3290
04:03:00.200 --> 04:03:03.479
the ultimate non journey event for TLF. In addition to the first episode of

3291
04:03:03.520 --> 04:03:07.559
the show, it has two of
the greatest standalone episodes of all time,

3292
04:03:09.840 --> 04:03:13.159
SummerSlam many two and SummerSlam two thousand
and five. SummerSlam two thousand and two

3293
04:03:13.239 --> 04:03:20.079
with the iconicness e Mon I'm Fucked
and JP's reading of Diana Hart's Pulitzer worthy

3294
04:03:20.360 --> 04:03:26.639
Tom under the mat, which should
which would provide inspiration of the name front

3295
04:03:26.680 --> 04:03:28.959
of the Somat. Indeed, she
is truly a genius for her ability to

3296
04:03:30.040 --> 04:03:35.879
recall for a word every conversation from
decades ago. Summerson two thousand and five

3297
04:03:35.040 --> 04:03:41.440
had three bonkers pieces Hogan, Sean, Eddie Ray, and Edge Matt Hardy.

3298
04:03:41.520 --> 04:03:45.360
The Edge Matt Hardy bit had an
incredible stretcher to lapse. Vince talks

3299
04:03:45.399 --> 04:03:48.479
to Edge about rewarding him with a
title in beating John Cena if he could,

3300
04:03:48.639 --> 04:03:52.879
if he would destroy Matt Hardy and
lead his relationship laps, Vince then

3301
04:03:52.920 --> 04:03:56.680
revealed that he wants the Hardy's destroyed
because they are from North Carolina and he

3302
04:03:56.799 --> 04:04:01.639
was raised in North Carolina, which
prompted Jack to say electrifying Boss. Laps

3303
04:04:01.760 --> 04:04:05.600
Vince said he wanted them destroyed because
they remind him of things he doesn't like

3304
04:04:05.760 --> 04:04:13.760
upon himself. It wasn't your fall
fence over and over like Robin Williams and

3305
04:04:13.799 --> 04:04:16.120
Goodwill hunting. Laps Vince then said, don't do this to me, Edge,

3306
04:04:20.559 --> 04:04:24.440
don't do this to me Edge,
except this is the show. It's

3307
04:04:24.479 --> 04:04:30.120
not gonna get any better than that. And then laps Hogan loses his shit

3308
04:04:30.280 --> 04:04:33.760
Gorilla grabbing the heads said training the
Undertaker match, which is one of the

3309
04:04:33.799 --> 04:04:39.559
greatest bits in Lapse history. Oh
my god. The two constants of the

3310
04:04:39.600 --> 04:04:43.239
show are You're ever deepening investigations of
being too Vince and Hogan and your ability

3311
04:04:43.280 --> 04:04:48.040
to tap into their psychees. Time
always seems to prove that laps Vince and

3312
04:04:48.079 --> 04:04:52.959
laps Hogan aren't the truth, as
revelations about there about the men mirror statements

3313
04:04:52.040 --> 04:04:56.559
made years earlier by the co chairs. I love that this Tuesday and Texts

3314
04:04:56.600 --> 04:05:01.200
episode. It was one of the
first glimpses into the co Chairs origin with

3315
04:05:01.319 --> 04:05:05.719
the discussion of Jack's valedictory speech and
all the little line thrown in that people

3316
04:05:05.840 --> 04:05:11.239
didn't get we're jokes and thought were
meaningful, including lines cribbed from Jake.

3317
04:05:11.319 --> 04:05:18.440
So the episode had an excellent discussion
of what made Jake absolutely compelling, absolutely

3318
04:05:18.520 --> 04:05:22.799
how we were likely just like lose
in our minds, like explaining Jake,

3319
04:05:24.079 --> 04:05:30.639
Oh my god, oh forget fuck
yeah, Oh he was just look he's

3320
04:05:31.399 --> 04:05:33.680
he you know he was, he
was, he was just the best.

3321
04:05:35.239 --> 04:05:39.239
Trust him as you know, exactly
exactly trust him because you know what,

3322
04:05:39.239 --> 04:05:46.040
you can't trust him. Wow,
and you never will. Uh. The

3323
04:05:46.040 --> 04:05:50.000
Wrestling Journey was incredible. Each episode
was fantastic, and the larger series chart

3324
04:05:50.040 --> 04:05:52.399
at the course of w W and
it's effect on the overall wrestling business.

3325
04:05:52.440 --> 04:05:56.559
I believe it was during the course
of this first journey that TLF stopped any

3326
04:05:58.559 --> 04:06:01.479
censoring. Yes, it is a
bit bizarre going back to older episodes.

3327
04:06:01.520 --> 04:06:07.639
After listening to years and years of
completely unfiltered episodes, still early episodes have

3328
04:06:07.159 --> 04:06:13.000
shelf life. It is also whild
listening to the death toll for early episodes

3329
04:06:13.000 --> 04:06:18.120
and realizing how many more people would
be on the list today, there's so

3330
04:06:18.159 --> 04:06:20.840
many of twenty. During a four
way tag match with Rakish, she ended

3331
04:06:20.920 --> 04:06:30.760
up with a riff about oh wow
Ah about John Depond having a conversation with

3332
04:06:30.879 --> 04:06:35.879
Laps Vince. John said I'm a
very serious person. Vince then said,

3333
04:06:35.120 --> 04:06:41.639
I'm very serious to them. I'm
very serious about defiling these hoes. Oh

3334
04:06:41.719 --> 04:06:45.879
my, Jacka should say no,
I can't afford this. I can't.

3335
04:06:46.440 --> 04:06:50.520
We're done. Twenty episodes in after
defiling the Hodes, We're done. Oh

3336
04:06:50.600 --> 04:06:52.440
my god. It's pain. It's
pain. It's so far out there.

3337
04:06:52.479 --> 04:06:56.280
I can't defend it. I can't
see my computer through the fucking tears.

3338
04:06:58.440 --> 04:07:03.040
Unbelievably funny segment, but after revelations
about Vince in recent months, it is

3339
04:07:03.159 --> 04:07:07.719
very realistic that Vince would have had
conversations with someone named John about defiling women.

3340
04:07:09.440 --> 04:07:15.000
Yikes. Yeah, I could find
each I could find which episode it

3341
04:07:15.079 --> 04:07:18.520
came from. But I loved Laps
and saying snook a push. I can

3342
04:07:18.559 --> 04:07:24.520
tell you what episode that's from.
That's from It's a Saturday Night's main event

3343
04:07:24.680 --> 04:07:26.559
from eighty nine leading into this,
the Survivor series whatever. I don't know

3344
04:07:26.559 --> 04:07:31.879
what number, Yes, yeah,
I don't know why I remember that being

3345
04:07:31.959 --> 04:07:35.319
that, but I remember it being
that episode. The Starkeare Memorial tour was

3346
04:07:35.360 --> 04:07:41.680
fantastic. A few brief highlights were
treating Bob Coddle as an ecaleptic and w

3347
04:07:41.879 --> 04:07:48.079
and Bob fra Gordon the pimp King, and making Lee Marshall out to be

3348
04:07:48.200 --> 04:07:52.799
the world's greatest preferend. My favorite
bit might be Laps Vince learning about Hogan

3349
04:07:52.879 --> 04:07:56.399
going to WW and saying, over
and over, Hogan Turner, Hogan Turner,

3350
04:08:00.120 --> 04:08:09.079
I love Jack debating Laps Thattch getting
Everybody to Me of Season five with

3351
04:08:09.159 --> 04:08:13.719
the Wire, where prosecutors had Clay
Davis seemingly dead, dead to rights and

3352
04:08:13.799 --> 04:08:18.360
he annihilated them with his routine in
front of the jury, followed by the

3353
04:08:18.440 --> 04:08:22.000
prosecutor saying, what the fuck just
happened? And whatever it was, they

3354
04:08:22.079 --> 04:08:30.280
don't teach it in law school can
lapse, Nash say, she the scapegoat

3355
04:08:30.319 --> 04:08:33.639
for the whole day. You know, fuck it, what you want from

3356
04:08:33.680 --> 04:08:37.399
me, I'm just sitting here just
doing my fucking thing, you know,

3357
04:08:39.280 --> 04:08:45.200
every fucking day, doing my fucking
thing. Just look, I'm not gonna

3358
04:08:45.280 --> 04:08:50.040
sit there and and you know,
just let fucking hypocrisy run the roost.

3359
04:08:50.120 --> 04:08:54.440
You know, I gotta take care
of shit, you know, and that

3360
04:08:54.559 --> 04:09:00.239
means me fucking sitting in my you
know, sitting in a fucking uh uh

3361
04:09:01.559 --> 04:09:03.639
Shay's lounge, you know, watching
TV all day. It's the way it

3362
04:09:03.719 --> 04:09:15.360
fucking is. It's just tremendous.
It's his face, Yeah, it's fucking

3363
04:09:15.719 --> 04:09:20.319
it's like puffy face. You know, like does this giant like you know,

3364
04:09:20.079 --> 04:09:26.639
uh, Santa Claus rosy cheeks,
you know, and his and his

3365
04:09:26.840 --> 04:09:31.040
eyes that are just like so squinty
in his old age, you know,

3366
04:09:31.159 --> 04:09:39.680
like he's just he's always half asleep. He's always half asleep. Yeah,

3367
04:09:39.799 --> 04:09:43.520
I just you know, I came
back from going to the fucking supermarket and

3368
04:09:43.639 --> 04:09:50.799
I realized I was like, oh, ship, you know what, I

3369
04:09:50.840 --> 04:09:54.319
haven't had fucking honeynut cheerios in like
two years. I was like, you

3370
04:09:54.360 --> 04:09:58.680
know what, I'm going to get
some of that, ship. Yeah,

3371
04:09:58.360 --> 04:10:05.239
a couple of hours apples and a
pair uh just strolling around down the fucking

3372
04:10:05.280 --> 04:10:09.360
aisles and in the uh, in
the publics, you know, shopping for

3373
04:10:09.399 --> 04:10:13.799
images, that's right, you know, shopping for imagery. And I always

3374
04:10:13.840 --> 04:10:18.600
thinking myself as like, you know, if I had if i'd had,

3375
04:10:18.760 --> 04:10:22.520
you know, if i'd been you
know, if I had to do something

3376
04:10:22.600 --> 04:10:24.120
different, I'd do it all over
again. I'd be a fucking DP.

3377
04:10:26.600 --> 04:10:35.120
Yeah, shooting film. I got
the eye for it. Yeah, I

3378
04:10:35.239 --> 04:10:41.920
got a good I got a good
sense of comp Oh, you can say

3379
04:10:41.959 --> 04:10:48.600
that again, Ken, you can
say that again. Check the bank account.

3380
04:10:48.799 --> 04:10:52.920
Check the ten ninety nine it said
the comp I did not know that

3381
04:10:54.120 --> 04:11:05.079
was fucking laid out for me.
Good sense of comp Yeah. On the

3382
04:11:05.200 --> 04:11:09.680
back end. Yeah, you know, like I'll be the first fucking DP

3383
04:11:09.879 --> 04:11:16.479
to get points in the film,
you know, fucking get more points of

3384
04:11:16.639 --> 04:11:22.440
fucking Will Smith. You know,
Hm, that'll be the first DP to

3385
04:11:22.520 --> 04:11:33.399
get points in a film. Awesome. Brian's bringing back all kinds of great

3386
04:11:33.440 --> 04:11:39.840
memories fucking Kevin Nash behind a fucking
camera, like fucking designing shots with the

3387
04:11:39.959 --> 04:11:46.600
director. But you know what I'm
thinking, you know, we get a

3388
04:11:46.719 --> 04:11:50.639
nice the scene, I'll tell you
what you know, Like, look,

3389
04:11:50.719 --> 04:11:54.159
you do what you want. You
know, you're the director, But I

3390
04:11:54.319 --> 04:11:58.280
tell you, you know, the
scene is calling for like a noir like

3391
04:11:58.040 --> 04:12:03.200
Stark lighting it up. Wow,
you know, and we can just kind

3392
04:12:03.200 --> 04:12:09.360
of like do a slow push in
with the dolly. Yeah, I just

3393
04:12:09.479 --> 04:12:13.799
think, I just think could be
fucking money. You do what you want.

3394
04:12:15.040 --> 04:12:16.959
You know, you're the boss,
But I'm telling you where the fucking

3395
04:12:18.040 --> 04:12:26.200
money is. Yeah, it's not
pussy footing around fucking Noir with the pushing.

3396
04:12:28.159 --> 04:12:39.000
Yeah, the old the n p
I. Yeah, so muny.

3397
04:12:39.600 --> 04:12:41.840
Yeah, we do a fucking n
p I. We call it a day

3398
04:12:46.479 --> 04:12:54.360
area show. I'm sorry, I'm
sorry, n p I. What can

3399
04:12:54.399 --> 04:12:58.520
you Yeah, Noir pushing, you
know, Noir lighting set up. We

3400
04:12:58.639 --> 04:13:05.719
push him with a dolly and yeah, what's the problem, nothing, no

3401
04:13:05.879 --> 04:13:09.559
problem, h action. I guess
we're good. And when it came to

3402
04:13:09.840 --> 04:13:16.120
GDPs trying to turn to the WO, they pushed him with the DEALI heah,

3403
04:13:16.200 --> 04:13:18.399
you know, we fucking pushed him
with a dolly and we pushed the

3404
04:13:18.520 --> 04:13:22.799
Dali. Yeah, Delli, Yeah, I fucking love Dai. It wouldn't

3405
04:13:22.799 --> 04:13:28.879
be in this fucking position with a
him. He's like the uh the only

3406
04:13:30.000 --> 04:13:39.319
non nwonwo the fucking fucket uh eat. In every journey the show is undertaken

3407
04:13:39.760 --> 04:13:43.000
has that of new layers, new
jokes, new clips, which have made

3408
04:13:43.120 --> 04:13:46.319
the show richer and funnier. It
has been interesting listening to which wrestlers really

3409
04:13:46.399 --> 04:13:50.760
click with you during a journey,
and who you consider the hero of a

3410
04:13:50.840 --> 04:13:54.559
journey like Nick Bockwinkle during the Life
and Death of the aw A ABA series

3411
04:13:54.680 --> 04:13:58.760
was memorable for a number of reasons. Laps Vern getting his ninety percent and

3412
04:13:58.879 --> 04:14:03.399
his Dinah powder of seeing how much
of the Hogan era in ww was largely

3413
04:14:03.479 --> 04:14:09.520
taken from the ABA, Larry Nelson
being a mess rod tron guard. The

3414
04:14:09.680 --> 04:14:13.440
Trial series unleashed wrestling's greatest bulldog.
It was not Davy Boy Smith or Dynamite

3415
04:14:13.520 --> 04:14:18.440
Kid, It was Jerry mcdeviit correct. I have never heard anyone more relentless

3416
04:14:18.440 --> 04:14:22.360
than mcdebit tearing apart George the Horion
on the stand. You two are absolute

3417
04:14:22.440 --> 04:14:28.799
mad men for acquiring and acting out
the complete court transcripts. Nobody comes anywhere

3418
04:14:28.920 --> 04:14:35.159
close to you too. A few
phrases are integral to the show. Whose

3419
04:14:35.280 --> 04:14:39.280
turn is it going to be?
JP saying somehow someone looks like someone looks

3420
04:14:39.399 --> 04:14:43.520
like the child of person X in
person wy fall by jacklin them up and

3421
04:14:43.639 --> 04:14:48.440
laughing. Anytime you say what's wrong
or what's the problem is fantastic. My

3422
04:14:48.639 --> 04:14:54.559
favorite recurring bit has to be anytime
you break into Lapse Boston locals, especially

3423
04:14:54.719 --> 04:15:03.799
talking about Boston cops. Any segment
that covers is beer, Gold and Jes

3424
04:15:03.000 --> 04:15:07.520
has given us annoyed locals, which
is always hilarious. Oh, I almost

3425
04:15:07.520 --> 04:15:11.879
forgot one. The Lapse editor is
to always remind us that it is fake.

3426
04:15:13.879 --> 04:15:16.760
Other great components of the show are
Jack pulling from the Laps bookshelf and

3427
04:15:16.879 --> 04:15:22.760
JP playing the Lapse jukebox. I'm
always tickled by JP's constant disdain for Seth

3428
04:15:22.840 --> 04:15:26.959
Rollins and Scott Norton. Oh my
god, Yeah, they can't go to

3429
04:15:28.000 --> 04:15:31.079
the grave fast enough. The tribute
episodes of the show have also been highlighted,

3430
04:15:31.120 --> 04:15:37.079
from Dusty and Bruno to Patterson and
Virgil. Taylor provides insight into what

3431
04:15:37.239 --> 04:15:41.120
makes them memorable, good or bad, and infuses the tributes with humor.

3432
04:15:41.479 --> 04:15:46.440
In addition to being the most insightful
podcast and the funniest podcast, the Coachairs

3433
04:15:46.479 --> 04:15:50.399
have delicately handled the most horrifying and
sad topics. I think of the Over

3434
04:15:50.479 --> 04:15:52.799
the Edge, nine to nine and
ben Wy episodes, as well as the

3435
04:15:52.879 --> 04:15:56.680
nine to eleven episode. I also
remember how hard JP took watching the Mike

3436
04:15:56.760 --> 04:16:00.719
van Eric press conference during the lamentable
chat tragedy episodes. The Patreon content has

3437
04:16:00.799 --> 04:16:04.799
been incredible with the live calls under
the cinemat Wrestle Mamia and this American work.

3438
04:16:06.360 --> 04:16:11.959
UTC resulted in one of my favorite
mainstays of family FEWD music. Oh

3439
04:16:11.079 --> 04:16:15.760
God, Guy just always las when
deployed by JP. UTC also gave us

3440
04:16:15.799 --> 04:16:18.920
the I Went Back clip from Jesse's
interview for Predator, and it has been

3441
04:16:19.000 --> 04:16:23.719
interesting hearing a bit of TLF lore
with Patreon getting uh getting to listen to

3442
04:16:25.000 --> 04:16:29.479
the call for wrestler's deaths. The
use of cameos has been a brilliant idea.

3443
04:16:29.479 --> 04:16:34.000
Of the absolute best was the recent
Neporadi cameo from Kevin Nash. Jack

3444
04:16:34.079 --> 04:16:37.760
comments on a nation's conclusion, saying, where sheep. I just want to

3445
04:16:37.799 --> 04:16:44.360
make sure I'm not one that gets
sheer for my old Kevin Nass story.

3446
04:16:47.719 --> 04:16:52.000
The fucking election coming up. You
know, you know we're just fucking shore

3447
04:16:52.040 --> 04:16:55.639
out of politics. But I don't
want to get into politics. Soo,

3448
04:16:55.879 --> 04:17:03.399
but whatever time goes su matter,
man, it doesn't matter. You know,

3449
04:17:03.479 --> 04:17:07.959
I'm just fucking sheep. I just
don't want to be the sheep that

3450
04:17:07.040 --> 04:17:17.319
gets That's why I get shorn for
his wool after a decade of episodes.

3451
04:17:17.600 --> 04:17:22.280
There are what we consider involuntary lapsisms. There are words or phrases on the

3452
04:17:22.319 --> 04:17:27.600
show like roll up or behind that
always prompt laps O, what brother or

3453
04:17:27.719 --> 04:17:33.000
who you taught been talking to?
Because of the double biz clips from TNH

3454
04:17:33.079 --> 04:17:41.079
and I find myself saying double bins
anytime I take out my cartage recycling double

3455
04:17:41.159 --> 04:17:45.600
bins. That's really funny. I
can't remember when, but one of my

3456
04:17:45.680 --> 04:17:48.920
favorite moments on the show was JP
getting extremely annoyed by Jack doing a Bruce

3457
04:17:48.959 --> 04:17:52.959
Pritchard impression and Jacks I was saying
I found my nash. Speaking of Jack's

3458
04:17:52.959 --> 04:17:56.479
impressions, his Patterson impression is a
highlight lapse of in saying Patterson get in

3459
04:17:56.559 --> 04:18:00.520
here, followed by yes boss as
a staple of the show. My absolute

3460
04:18:00.559 --> 04:18:06.399
favorite Jack impression is when he does
Suja Bangs, the bizarre accent and delivery,

3461
04:18:06.479 --> 04:18:12.760
the check bulls out and kills me
every time. Charles Dickens might have

3462
04:18:12.840 --> 04:18:15.440
written a Tale of two Cities,
but t f gave us a tale of

3463
04:18:15.559 --> 04:18:25.000
two Terry's and three thread we DNAs
and a lapse funk. I know which

3464
04:18:25.040 --> 04:18:30.000
one is a bigger gift to culture, and it came from a particular podcast.

3465
04:18:30.079 --> 04:18:34.040
Teenage gave us Laser Spine, Hogan, Legal Eath, and more than

3466
04:18:34.079 --> 04:18:37.799
any other journey, an incredible array
of all time clips. You're a clown,

3467
04:18:38.079 --> 04:18:41.639
no doubt, one, tooth Ornoli, Hide the Ball, and my

3468
04:18:41.760 --> 04:18:45.440
personal favorite, Foaming at the Crotch
are just some of the amazing clips.

3469
04:18:45.440 --> 04:18:49.280
And of course, the Dixie theme
song The Lapse Funks gave us the longest

3470
04:18:49.319 --> 04:18:53.959
time spanning and widest ranging journey of
them all. And where are We?

3471
04:18:55.239 --> 04:19:00.520
And I went ahead, hang on, dude, I hang uned Hada Honda

3472
04:19:03.440 --> 04:19:08.639
Hala Halla, what right? All
those two? Some other highlights of the

3473
04:19:08.719 --> 04:19:15.159
show Laps Barnett saying my boy and
I can't laps him hurt, talking in

3474
04:19:15.319 --> 04:19:19.280
piece metaphors, Laps pilgrimage of the
Silver Dome, the numerous amazing lines from

3475
04:19:19.319 --> 04:19:26.159
Heen and JP's Jesse impression, JP
reciting Hogan promos he had memorized when Chief

3476
04:19:26.319 --> 04:19:41.159
Brunch Jock saying, what do we
got today? Boys? Huh, I'm

3477
04:19:41.200 --> 04:19:45.559
not gonna do it. I can't
go into it. It's gonna let let

3478
04:19:45.680 --> 04:19:48.959
for now this suffice. What we
What are we doing today? Home boys?

3479
04:19:48.479 --> 04:19:52.520
Ris to the crimes. He's one
of those guys, you know,

3480
04:19:52.559 --> 04:19:56.040
because you imagine Chief Brun. Okay, he's got no he's got no neck.

3481
04:19:56.719 --> 04:20:00.360
All he's got is chin and double
chin. First. It's kind of

3482
04:20:00.360 --> 04:20:03.280
like siting here the whole time.
Man, you know, Oh my god,

3483
04:20:03.479 --> 04:20:11.879
you know who I fucking pictures as
Chief brunchuck crist of all fucking people,

3484
04:20:11.639 --> 04:20:18.239
print think people. I think we've
only seen him one time on uh

3485
04:20:18.760 --> 04:20:23.920
uh on cinemat maybe at this point, Mike Starr Stark, m I K

3486
04:20:25.120 --> 04:20:33.959
E S T A R R.
Okay, not not the musician, but

3487
04:20:33.040 --> 04:20:49.399
the actors. Chief Brunch totally am
that is perfect. He's a little too

3488
04:20:49.479 --> 04:20:52.239
tall. I picture him being a
little bit shorter, but that's still Nonetheless,

3489
04:20:52.559 --> 04:20:56.840
I pictured to the guy from NYPD
Blue, the fat guy. Oh

3490
04:20:56.079 --> 04:21:25.239
Dennis Franz. Mm hmm yeah,
friends, I think he retired after something.

3491
04:21:25.239 --> 04:21:30.840
I think I think he retired and
something happened his career, his career,

3492
04:21:30.079 --> 04:21:34.600
like he just died after he left
them, my p D Blue,

3493
04:21:34.639 --> 04:21:42.440
And I'm just looking through look at

Imagine It's like it's like globs fucking

3502
04:23:00.479 --> 04:23:04.040
shooting out of his fucking cock,
having needed a champion. JB discussing some

3503
04:23:04.079 --> 04:23:08.200
of those things, giving sandwich laps, Vince's nonsense, corporate speak, Kevin

3504
04:23:08.319 --> 04:23:14.520
Salvin shoveling snow. Some recent favorite
moments are someone joked, what movie does

3505
04:23:14.559 --> 04:23:23.280
hul Cogan hate? The blind Side
Brother? Exactly? Dude, that's not

3506
04:23:23.520 --> 04:23:29.760
cool, all right, totally not
cool. There should be no blind Side

3507
04:23:29.799 --> 04:23:32.879
Brother. We should have eyes all
around. Speaking of, look at the

3508
04:23:32.920 --> 04:23:38.239
next line, Jack noting during teenage
that he would constantly say, O,

3509
04:23:38.360 --> 04:23:44.680
brother, what why So true that
Journey fucked me up on that front.

3510
04:23:44.920 --> 04:23:48.159
So true. I'm a sorrow on
the I'm like Cactus Jack Triple Ah Street

3511
04:23:48.200 --> 04:23:52.120
Fight from the two thousand and rumble. The crowd is into it, but

3512
04:23:52.239 --> 04:24:00.280
this is stupid. No wonder,
there's so many mental health problems. JB

3513
04:24:00.440 --> 04:24:04.639
said about Todd Gordon during Lapsed Funk, how do you think this guy scammed?

3514
04:24:04.719 --> 04:24:07.559
Oh? How much do you think
this guy scammed? In a days

3515
04:24:07.760 --> 04:24:11.200
daily pass? Jack? When you
think of Todd Gordon, JB, I

3516
04:24:11.239 --> 04:24:15.719
feel like I just got robbed.
Jack. Why he's put to the gentleman,

3517
04:24:15.920 --> 04:24:21.399
he's put together by other people's money. I feel like I just swindled

3518
04:24:21.479 --> 04:24:30.639
me out of money now, and
it's from thirty years Oh, holy shit,

3519
04:24:30.840 --> 04:24:34.040
holy shit, I don't remember that
at all. That's fucking funny.

3520
04:24:36.200 --> 04:24:38.200
The James Bond you see Journey,
which is now underway, already has a

3521
04:24:38.280 --> 04:24:41.000
number of gem Jack Ass said,
the question has to be asked, is

3522
04:24:41.040 --> 04:24:47.440
it winstill the Churchill's stern during the
Casino Royal, JP said, Peter Sellers

3523
04:24:48.200 --> 04:25:02.079
is the reality we choose to ignore? Peters is the reality? Renor that's

3524
04:25:02.280 --> 04:25:08.120
tremendous. I'm discussing just incredible telling
Vince that he's Portuguese. Jack Quinton names

3525
04:25:08.280 --> 04:25:22.840
Kurti Gola just now no, I
know we've read from his book in the

3526
04:25:23.120 --> 04:25:29.959
okay, so that was kind of
the inspission laps funk during the funk sabur

3527
04:25:30.200 --> 04:25:40.639
and man, oh, well,
you know what, he is a man

3528
04:25:40.719 --> 04:25:45.600
of war, that's for sure.
Just incredible laps funk during the funk Saboo.

3529
04:25:47.559 --> 04:25:56.639
Jane Douglas's match said I got a
giant pole. I got a giant

3530
04:25:56.719 --> 04:26:12.040
pole in my pants, and Jack
so Fair lapsed funk ECW. There was

3531
04:26:12.079 --> 04:26:15.079
discussion about a wrestler from the Turn
of the Center, which led Jack to

3532
04:26:15.159 --> 04:26:27.520
say Turn of the Centrum was that
Owest in Persus b Rest me at thirteen.

3533
04:26:30.520 --> 04:26:34.360
Japs, very slowly getting the joke, said it was a double turn

3534
04:26:34.440 --> 04:26:52.479
of the century. We went again. Sorry Jesus Sorry, Ready to rumble.

3535
04:26:52.879 --> 04:26:57.399
Davy said the director made a movie
called Bigger Fatter. Liar Check said

3536
04:26:57.920 --> 04:27:07.040
that's a movie about a butcher.
Labs Vin said r O. I was

3537
04:27:07.120 --> 04:27:29.360
return on investigation. Hell work every
time. Oh my god, this is

3538
04:27:29.440 --> 04:27:33.479
too much. I cannot this American
work. Laps then said life is work

3539
04:27:33.559 --> 04:27:38.799
because work sucks. Jack, during
the most recent mail Bag episode has laps

3540
04:27:38.840 --> 04:27:45.040
hoke and talking about climate change is
co o do stand fa out to brother

3541
04:27:48.040 --> 04:28:00.680
oh ship exactly all the marvels utc
J read from an r in the Culture

3542
04:28:00.760 --> 04:28:06.319
Progress and the Child of the Carnival
and Cousin of the God, which prompted

3543
04:28:06.399 --> 04:28:10.239
Jack to say, I standing all. Then JP, from the article deception

3544
04:28:10.440 --> 04:28:15.959
is rife and determining fact is a
front check Lapp said, exactly correct.

3545
04:28:15.600 --> 04:28:41.920
Is that a deal f X sentiment
or what ja as? Just fucking hours?

3546
04:28:41.399 --> 04:28:52.559
Oh god, I'm silly lad,
Now I don't know for recording rings

3547
04:28:55.120 --> 04:29:00.360
j C. JP also talked about
Billy Wolf taking. He said, one

3548
04:29:00.479 --> 04:29:10.760
guy is taking half of all the
money that is wrestling. Oh gods,

3549
04:29:11.159 --> 04:29:14.840
fifteen boss man taker as I want
to sell, JP said, in response

3550
04:29:14.879 --> 04:29:18.280
to his mother, I've never seen
I've never seen college wrestling happen in a

3551
04:29:18.360 --> 04:29:22.079
cage. No, she said,
that's brutal and a crime. Regarding by

3552
04:29:22.239 --> 04:29:37.559
hanging hangings, Oh my god,
it's brutal and hanging there. You're making

3553
04:29:37.600 --> 04:29:41.799
her watch, Oh my god,
Hogan winning the debbat title. Jack the

3554
04:29:41.879 --> 04:29:47.600
Last Fan is about what the kitchen
looks like after the matches were getting food

3555
04:29:47.639 --> 04:29:52.879
in the hotel room. As the
coachers have said many times, it's all

3556
04:29:52.120 --> 04:29:59.559
about food. TILLEF is the best
college podcast, humor podcast, wrestling podcast,

3557
04:29:59.600 --> 04:30:02.760
the best podcast in existence, and
all sincerity. One of the great

3558
04:30:02.799 --> 04:30:07.479
pieces of art about America nostalgia deception. Yes, TALF is one of the

3559
04:30:07.520 --> 04:30:11.079
great pieces of ongoing art in the
twenty first century. It just also happens

3560
04:30:11.120 --> 04:30:15.479
to be absurd and hilarious. The
co chairs are correct and saying it used

3561
04:30:15.520 --> 04:30:18.239
to be better, but for most
things, but TILLAF keeps getting better and

3562
04:30:18.440 --> 04:30:21.520
better. Congratulations on ten years of
the show, and I look forward to

3563
04:30:21.559 --> 04:30:26.719
the next ten years. Yeah,
damn Disgus in his fucking part, I

3564
04:30:26.760 --> 04:30:32.479
can't tell you. I can't.
I really some of those knock me out.

3565
04:30:32.600 --> 04:30:38.239
O sh We can't do more than
one of those in a mail back.

3566
04:30:38.319 --> 04:30:41.319
Seriously, it's like too much.
It tastes too much on them.

3567
04:30:41.399 --> 04:30:48.799
Oh my god, wrapping up here. Timothy Lee, Saster, Brad Murphy,

know who you are, and thanks so

3570
04:30:59.680 --> 04:31:03.280
for him much for the pledge.
Zach wrightes just made the switch to moat

3571
04:31:03.360 --> 04:31:06.000
tier. I know it took me
longer than I wanted. But I'm here

3572
04:31:06.000 --> 04:31:07.639
and I'm here to stay. I've
listened to you guys for seven years now.

3573
04:31:07.719 --> 04:31:11.760
October twenty eighteen. First show was
Your Invasion Show, and I was

3574
04:31:11.760 --> 04:31:15.399
hooked from JP's graphic teardown of Kevin
Dunn. I've been a patron on and

3575
04:31:15.479 --> 04:31:18.639
off for the better part of five
years, canceling mostly because I wasn't financially

3576
04:31:18.680 --> 04:31:21.959
well enough. I've been eptre for
almost two years now, and I'm finally

3577
04:31:22.000 --> 04:31:25.200
making the jump to Moat. I'll
be starving, staying starving. There we

3578
04:31:25.280 --> 04:31:26.879
go. That's two. Here's a
fortith slip. Thanks for everything you do.

3579
04:31:27.040 --> 04:31:30.520
You guys make my life better by
being here. Cheers ZGPS. I

3580
04:31:30.520 --> 04:31:33.239
don't know if you'll remember me,
but my doggie Cobra died in October.

3581
04:31:33.440 --> 04:31:37.079
Bought a cameo from Lapsed Vince.
Oh yes, I remember that. The

3582
04:31:37.120 --> 04:31:41.120
Boss was rehearsing producing King of the
Jews was very gracious about getting it to

3583
04:31:41.280 --> 04:31:42.280
me. You guys are awesome,
have fun and Philly. Hopefully I'll be

3584
04:31:42.280 --> 04:31:47.000
there to see you live where Romania
is next year. Very interesting, so

3585
04:31:47.120 --> 04:31:51.040
waiting on confirmation on that front.
Kind of weird. Yeah, it's funny

3586
04:31:51.040 --> 04:31:55.159
because they don't. They usually announced
it during wrestling. Yeah, we always

3587
04:31:55.239 --> 04:32:00.319
know by now. Yeah, Neil
writes, this is how much TL is

3588
04:32:00.360 --> 04:32:03.000
in my day. When ordering a
new printer, my boss asked me,

3589
04:32:03.079 --> 04:32:06.479
do you need color? Brother the
urge to reply, well, in a

3590
04:32:06.559 --> 04:32:10.840
decent wrestling match, you always need
color. Oh man, that's what we're

3591
04:32:10.879 --> 04:32:17.479
doing, these little moments across the
world every single day. Let's see what

3592
04:32:17.600 --> 04:32:21.399
else. Yeah, Phil knows the
truth going. This is as we get

3593
04:32:21.440 --> 04:32:22.959
to wrestle a new weekend, going
to a Stamp convention to check out a

3594
04:32:22.959 --> 04:32:26.680
building with the WFT TV dippings forty
years ago. No, that's hardcore is

3595
04:32:29.479 --> 04:32:36.840
Carlo wrote very well on this.
The comment simply is no legitimate enterprise,

3596
04:32:37.000 --> 04:32:45.879
no legitimate people, no legitimate gross
shirt. Andrew Brister, William Uran,

3597
04:32:47.239 --> 04:32:51.040
Jack, Tracy Thomas, Pratt,
Connor Elsie Man. We really blew up

3598
04:32:51.079 --> 04:32:55.360
over this fucking wrestlming weekend. There's
so many new faces. People needed that

3599
04:32:55.479 --> 04:33:00.319
journaling, They needed that content.

3602
04:33:08.279 --> 04:33:11.799
the guys that I think we're going
to get to it that shouted you out

3603
04:33:11.799 --> 04:33:12.799
while you had pizza in your face. He said, oh yeah, that

3604

strong and very regretful that we couldn't get

3609

think it's rough. Jesus, what a

3614
04:34:10.599 --> 04:34:15.560
fucking roster, what a fucking lineup? So many great comments, so much

3615
04:34:15.639 --> 04:34:21.040
great insights, John writes to us
John Bonnie, longtime supporter, thinks is

3616
04:34:21.080 --> 04:34:23.599
always co chairs. Live calls are
always a treat. It's also the closest

3617
04:34:23.639 --> 04:34:26.439
I'll get to watching these days.
Yes, don't forget we're watching this so

3618
04:34:26.520 --> 04:34:30.599
you don't have to Josh who hooked
us up with that hilarious clip that we

3619
04:34:30.680 --> 04:34:34.279
played during our Philly show of the
local news shitting on everyone in line for

3620
04:34:34.479 --> 04:34:37.479
ww world? Yeap, she goes
what is wrong with you? On the

3621
04:34:37.560 --> 04:34:41.880
news, He writes, the Bozo's
brunch was the highlight of our weekend.

3622
04:34:41.959 --> 04:34:45.240
Just want to say thank you.
How absolutely thrilling you guys use this video

3623
04:34:45.279 --> 04:34:47.720
as part of your show. To
say I've marked out pretty hard would be

3624
04:34:47.720 --> 04:34:49.680
an understatement. My buddy Jared also
bumped into the chairman a night too at

3625
04:34:49.759 --> 04:34:52.720
Manian was so starstruck he couldn' think
of anything to say other than warned of

3626
04:34:52.759 --> 04:34:56.240
the dangers of paying eleven dollars for
a slice of cold crap little Caesars vizza?

3627
04:34:57.119 --> 04:34:59.720
Is that what it was? Was
it Caesar's Year? No? I

3628
04:34:59.759 --> 04:35:03.159
didn't you had Caesar's. I had
Caesars. Yeah, I don't know.

3629
04:35:03.319 --> 04:35:03.680
Is he talking to me? I
don't like, so, I don't know,

3630
04:35:03.840 --> 04:35:07.279
and he may have possibly said up
a big of a TLF fan he

3631
04:35:07.439 --> 04:35:11.400
is, thanks again and keep doing
what you do at the fan lapsed well,

3632
04:35:11.479 --> 04:35:14.319
Josh, thank you. That was
a critical contribution. People love that

3633
04:35:14.400 --> 04:35:19.119
show so great all Tom puts a
very interesting note out there, whole weekend

3634
04:35:19.400 --> 04:35:25.400
Russell Manie weekend was really about crowning
Paul, not Cody new Era. Paul

3635
04:35:26.520 --> 04:35:29.080
new Era is Paul got Paul him
to say, I'm a Paul of that

3636
04:35:29.200 --> 04:35:33.080
guy. All got the hero shot
with his wife on Instagram. I'm fine

3637
04:35:33.119 --> 04:35:34.959
with all of it because it wasn't
I wasn't investing Cody story after they dropped

3638
04:35:34.959 --> 04:35:37.479
the ball last year. But this
was Paul's weekend. That's so true.

3639
04:35:37.520 --> 04:35:41.599
The further away he get from it, the more that's kind of the the

3640
04:35:41.680 --> 04:35:52.680
prevailing sentiment I feel like, so
looking back on that historic weekend, Andrew

3641
04:35:52.880 --> 04:35:56.520
Patrick David, longtime supporter, Always
great to hear from him. Thanks you

3642
04:35:56.639 --> 04:36:00.400
for doing what it took to get
that, uh that Jenelle Grant complaint on

3643
04:36:00.439 --> 04:36:04.319
the record. Boss, Oh Jesus, thank you for reading the entire complaint

3644
04:36:04.319 --> 04:36:07.599
of the main feed, Andrew writes, uninterrupted by ads asides, jokes or

3645
04:36:07.599 --> 04:36:11.840
anything that could distract the listener from
the reality they must contend with themselves if

3646
04:36:11.880 --> 04:36:15.159
they are to have any chance of
living as anything remotely approaching the lowest effort

3647
04:36:15.240 --> 04:36:21.240
possible to almost technically pass for basic
human decency. No excuses, no days

3648
04:36:21.279 --> 04:36:23.919
off, no bullshit, no bitches, not then, not now, not

3649
04:36:25.040 --> 04:36:27.599
ever, stay lapsed. Thank you, Thank you very much. Andrew appreciate

3650
04:36:27.639 --> 04:36:30.319
that acknowledgment. That was it had
to be done, as we said,

3651
04:36:32.919 --> 04:36:37.119
very much so. And as we
wrap up, there was something that we

3652
04:36:37.279 --> 04:36:45.400
kind of felt compelled to do on
stage in Philly that we ended up not

3653
04:36:45.520 --> 04:36:48.520
really having the time to, but
it was it was a nod to Christian,

3654
04:36:49.240 --> 04:36:52.840
who we've talked about, who is
in the crowd and who put together

3655
04:36:52.919 --> 04:36:59.360
something rather remarkable. Yes, looking
back in the spirit of TLFX and I

3656
04:36:59.439 --> 04:37:03.400
figure year by year, boss,
but what we're going to do here and

3657
04:37:03.680 --> 04:37:07.520
maybe person by person fuck year by
year. Yeah. Sure. What Christian

3658
04:37:07.520 --> 04:37:08.959
has done is taken the time to
go back to twenty fourteen when this all

3659
04:37:10.040 --> 04:37:14.560
started, we started doing the death
toll, and so many impactful deaths of

3660
04:37:14.639 --> 04:37:19.000
so many has broke era staples right, so many it's stunning to think of

3661
04:37:19.080 --> 04:37:22.720
how many childhood heroes were still alive
when we started this thing and are no

3662
04:37:22.799 --> 04:37:27.479
longer with us. Yep. So
now, in conclusion of this mailbag episode,

3663
04:37:27.799 --> 04:37:33.279
we're going to toll the bell for
ten years worth of passing in the

3664
04:37:33.319 --> 04:37:36.759
wrestling world and beyond, sort of
like tangential characters that have come up on

3665
04:37:36.840 --> 04:37:40.119
our show or people of cultural significance
that had something to do with the show

3666
04:37:40.759 --> 04:37:44.279
are listed as well. And it's
not just wrestlers we've even talked about,

3667
04:37:44.319 --> 04:37:48.200
but wrestlers have some prominence that have
also passed in the ten years. Presenting
