WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.320
And so thanks to everybody for the
fulsome lapsed Funk feedback. It was a

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.919
journey we won't soon forget. But
as I mentioned, the mail bag has

3
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:13.880
been brimming for months now with some
great missives and insights and you know,

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.800
warranted appreciation prompts from members of the
Solar System. Boss. Sure, I

5
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.359
couldn't believe my eyes on this one, considering how we started this mailbag episode,

6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.239
this one from Brandon, Jack and
JP. I don't listen to every

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.839
episode of Under the Cinemat, but
I couldn't resist the Punisher. Sorry,

8
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.759
I'm sorry that you couldn't resist the
Punisher. Last week's episode had it all

9
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.439
laps Nash cameo JP requested was awesome. Yeah, what are the odds?

10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.560
It's fucking funny we're hitting one all
these months later. That's hilarious. Duncan

11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:50.679
talk. Yeah, I talked to
him because I was like, I asked

12
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.640
him because I askedhim about the hair. The hair on my cameo. That's

13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.560
what it was. I asked him
about his hair getting Like why they had

14
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.799
to do it on TV as opposed
to like that that's right, not on

15
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.439
set, Like why not just do
it the fucking day? Before, like,

16
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:03.640
why do you have to make a
fucking gimmick out of it? It's

17
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.079
a dandy episode available in our Patreon
archives. Indeed, the episode Brendan's Has

18
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.799
also has Duncan Talk fig feds.
I personally mixed in Batman the animated series

19
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.879
and Power Rangers figures with my hasbros. Clay faced like major heel and did

20
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.159
a great choke slam. Tommy the
Green Ranger had great mobility and did a

21
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.239
money hurri Kanana who would have shut
boss? Sure? Sure, hey,

22
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.719
you know that's you know, blending, blending the Toy universe. The Toy

23
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.959
Universe is into wrestling. I mean
I did he Man all the time,

24
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.519
The he Man, the he Man
figures back in the day. They they

25
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.799
were they could do a great superkick. Oh really, the way that their

26
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:46.239
bodies were they had got there.
Their legs were connected by like a rubber

27
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.640
band, like a giant, you
know, thick rubber thing, and so

28
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.439
they could bend in the right way
and their their knees were slightly bent.

29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.000
So they did a great, a
great superkick. And most of them looked

30
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.640
like they had been to see George
Zahian, right, Yeah, they did

31
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.840
look like like patients of the Good
Doctor sections of old newspaper articles is another

32
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.080
mark in favor of the Punisher.
Cinemat episode, Brandon says also Jim Barnett

33
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:13.439
my personal favorite lapsed character, offering
to blow a guy under a desk city

34
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:23.879
council traffic discussions. Oh yes,
Hogan, brother, what I was thrown

35
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.599
in there? I'm sure to throw
somebody off, in particular down in Tampa

36
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.439
Bay. Well, we did,
we did, I do remember if you

37
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.840
remember correctly he was he was supposedly
because they were shooting. They shot in

38
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:38.000
Tampa. They they he supposedly shot
scenes in that that club sequence of the

39
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.360
movie. Yes, yes, but
we they if they if he did,

40
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.680
they cut it out because there's nothing. There's no Hogan in there at all.

41
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.280
Southern Lawyer of Massachusetts mashups. Yeah, this ship was also with greatest

42
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.879
hits on most of t That's where
we did that. Yeah. If you're

43
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.360
looking forward TLFX, where we did
holy shit, that's the Punishers where we

44
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.400
did the because yeah, because the
director's from Massachusetts and he's from he's from

45
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:13.439
that area. The fucking do that
kind of it feels good to remember these

46
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.479
things. Oh my god, he
right to this show is almost the greatest

47
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.319
hits of TLF all right, I
think it will definitely be a cast.

48
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.719
I revisit anyone listening to this not
signed up for the EPTR, stopping a

49
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.319
bitch and go sign up. He
writes, this UTC episode alone was worth

50
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.680
twenty dollars. I was fifteen when
The Punisher was released in theaters. I

51
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.280
actually remember going to the mall with
my friends to see the film. I

52
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.400
also purchased the soundtrack. Yeah,
I know, fucking loser. TLF brought

53
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.520
me back to this simpler and happier
time. I never listen. Listen.

54
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.400
Nobody who buys a soundtrack for a
movie is a loser in my book.

55
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.840
Yeah, there's no room for boss
on that front. I'm a fucking I'm

56
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:54.840
such a fucking film score nerd that
there's no no, that's that's that's fucking

57
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.280
cool in my book. The Punisher
definitely punished my ass, But I'm for

58
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.599
more VTC, he says. That's
right. As we get closer to tlf

59
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.960
X ten years in the making,
I wanted to share some additional thoughts.

60
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.159
I found the cast in twenty seventeen
due to my late discovery, I am

61
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.919
not a Day one listener. But
when utc rolled out, I knew I

62
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.439
could be a Day one EP,
so I signed up the first day at

63
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.600
Month Live. Now I can proudly
say I have joined the mote. The

64
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.759
mote. Fucking that's a fucking man
right there. That's the story of our

65
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.360
lives right there. Get him on
the hook and before you know, it's

66
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.000
something that they scoffed at in the
beginning as something they can't do without.

67
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.000
I don't want to get misty.
I'd like Richard Fleer. Then i'd have

68
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.279
to the mains twenty four. But
just like a lot of other members in

69
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.800
the Solar System, this cast means
a lot to me. Every time you

70
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.959
turn on the microphone's history is made. In my opinion, TLF, it's

71
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.560
like a phone called you missed between
your two best friends. However, they

72
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.879
recorded the entire conversation and sent it
to you afterwards, so you didn't miss

73
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.240
out. TLF has seen me through
rough days of the office, fucking COVID

74
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.680
lockdowns, and late nights rocking my
newborn son to sleep. Deep down,

75
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.040
I know one day I will be
gone, or the cast will be gone.

76
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.720
This day will hurt, but thankfully
we have the back catalog hashtag's Shelf

77
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.480
Life tag goat podcast for generations of
lapsed fans to come. Hopefully my son

78
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.040
won't be included in this, but
who am I kidding? I will force

79
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:10.079
him to watch wrestling as an excuse
to take him to shows, purchased toys,

80
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.000
et cetera. What a sad state
of affairs pause? Isn't that the

81
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.879
true? Any lapsed fan before the
kids are too young to know any better

82
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.120
are going to have all these wrestling
figures that they really didn't even ask for.

83
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:26.040
Yep, yep, No, it's
true. I'd like empathetic. I

84
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.279
remember my dad buying a bunch of
toys that he actually wanted from the play

85
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.560
I bought, you know, back
in the day. I bought my daughter

86
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.439
like about twenty five of those women
wrestlers trying to get it in before they

87
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:44.680
realized how fucking laming stupid it was. Fucking idiot dad. Although she she

88
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.439
does say she would go with me
to Madison Square Garden again if I asked,

89
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.199
Well, yeah, of course,
it's a fun, live thing to

90
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.720
do. Yeah, it's not that, it's just like really all the time

91
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.120
that it's entertaining. You gotta go
talk about that shit more. You have

92
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.160
a whole round of shame in pain
right when you're in school as a rest

93
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.959
fan. Oh absolutely, And then
you have a whole other round of shame

94
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.720
and pain when your kid looks at
you and you're like, they're like,

95
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.199
you watch this, Like I can't
tell my friends you watch this? Like,

96
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.839
right, what kind of parent are
you? Like at some point she's

97
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.439
going to say, she's gonna say, oh, what does you know?

98
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.720
Does your dad do anything? He
records a podcast? Oh? Really,

99
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.399
what's it about any of those?
Any of those recently boss where somebody asks

100
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.319
you what you what you've been doing
lately and you say, I know,

101
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.759
not since the show. Actually,
actually it's not true. I have Well,

102
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.879
although you know what did the question
didn't ask? I actually did tell.

103
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.040
I did tell somebody today, but
they didn't. They didn't ask,

104
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.240
like what it was about? All
right, I know totally they I would

105
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.600
have loved to have gotten the nothing
over the holidays from a relative you haven't

106
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.000
seen it in a while or anything
like that. Well, they always ask

107
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:56.120
how the podcast is going. They
always ask how it's going. It's like

108
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.600
it's going great, Like we have
another fucking banner year? What do you

109
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.319
want from me? I say,
it's going lousy? Is that like you

110
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.399
ask me these questions about the fucking
pot? I mean, yeah, it's

111
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:12.720
going. It's going phenomenal right now, So eat ship exactly, hope,

112
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.199
I hope you weren't expecting another answer, by the way, right hopefully my

113
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.560
son. Okay, Yes, this
wrestling ship, Brennan writes, is a

114
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.040
disease. We as lapsed fans,
have no cure for it. But Jack

115
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.560
and JP you make it so much
better. Ding ding ding. That is

116
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.319
that is perfectly stated. Also,
I noticed someone online saying, asking,

117
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.600
have you what made you lapse from
TLF h Oh big mistake. Uh listen,

118
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.959
we need to get we need to
get this guy the crisis counseling line

119
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.560
right away. When people start talking
that mess, you know that they're people

120
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.240
do and you know what people do. And then and then what happens they

121
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.519
come back. They had tone they
do to they weren't that they were talking

122
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.920
ship. You know, it's fine, very tolerant of that. We understand.

123
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.560
We've been through several cycles cycles of
it ourselves. Of course personally in

124
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.279
my life lapsed from WWUFC and now
aw He writes, Wow, that was

125
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.639
fast ever well I Ever lapse from
TLF. The listener patron for Life brothers

126
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.199
holler Brandon, Thank you, Brandon. It's wonderful to have you in our

127
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.639
corner and can verify by the way
that that motherfucker bumped up to the moat

128
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.800
Tear damn right, Derga, Welcome
to the TLF Patreon universe. We appreciate

129
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.040
your pledge and hope you're enjoying the
content. Christopher Emily, Welcome to that

130
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.720
fucking executive producer, Tear. Thanks
for the cake, James writes, dearest

131
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.440
inflictors of shitcutter oblivion, shit cutter
oblivion. Wow. Just listening to the

132
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.840
Summer Mailbag episode part one and the
listener who mentioned the death of modern wrestling

133
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.919
is when commentators started to talk about
story, or at least something to that

134
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.399
effect. Are we still talking about
finishing the story, aren't we? Boss?

135
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.559
We are? I mean we're talking
about story onishing the storytelling, finishing

136
00:08:50.679 --> 00:09:03.240
said storytelling sequences, sequences of moments
of momentary excitement, of of of choreographed

137
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.039
mayhem. And as we look upon
yet another new year, I do need

138
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.919
to make it a resolution every year
to come out with my annual shortlist of

139
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.399
phrases, we must retire to retain
the integrity of the species, and this

140
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.360
year's is in this moment. This
is a very lazy shortcut. You hear

141
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.320
a lot on like NPR and a
lot of formats where people are trying to

142
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:31.799
sound very sort of aerodite and very
learned and very kind of like sensitive,

143
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.360
and it's it's a red herring for
me in this moment. What exactly do

144
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.480
you mean do you mean today?
Because that's one way to say it.

145
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.480
I mean, are you talking about
like this very second right just past,

146
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.679
like we're how about we're not in
a moment. How About we don't know

147
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.879
what moment we're in until a decade
after it happens. Right, how about

148
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.240
we stop pretending that something that happened
last week is momentous before we have any

149
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.960
fucking clue if we're going to remember
it. We don't know what's in this

150
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.919
moment. What's happening now, more
often than not, is irrelevant as to

151
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.399
how it impacts the future. How
many moments did we go through during COVID

152
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.039
that like, oh my god,
we look back at it even it was

153
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.919
like we were wearing a different skin. I don't even fucking remember moments,

154
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.159
got her. You have to you
have to respect the memory's ability to sort

155
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.519
out what is and isn't significant.
And you know, you have to wait

156
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.080
for that moment otherwise than that moment, for that time to pass, because

157
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.399
otherwise you seem like a moron talking
about a moment every two weeks, like

158
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.480
you catch you, I don't know. We got to record every moment.

159
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.120
Every moment needs to be a moment. Yeah, it's it isn't even it

160
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.879
isn't even a reference to a particular
short passage of time, like a moment.

161
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.759
Like you know, somebody came up
to me today and said, Hi,

162
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.360
that I guess was a moment.
But what they mean is this moment.

163
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.879
They mean like there's a theme that
ties together everything that's happened in the

164
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.919
past six months. And it's like, can you keep that first draft of

165
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.360
history and the drafts folder please?
You know what? I had a moment

166
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.919
today. I had a yeah,
a moment in the bathroom took a leak.

167
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.960
In this moment, I'm shitting my
brains out about that. I don't

168
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.720
know. In this moment, I'm
evacuating my my bowels. I just have

169
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.600
bos. That's all. That's all
it comes down to. No, No,

170
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.399
I mean, listen, you're you're
you're on the right side of it

171
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.159
all. Thank you. Let me
know when I'm not okay, I know

172
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.919
I can. I will, I
will. And a listener who mentioned me

173
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.080
like like when my grandfather, my
dad always said, he said, if

174
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.399
I ever act like my father,
take me in the back and shoot me.

175
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.360
So I'll do the same thing.
Look Out, I didn't say to

176
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.039
shoot me, but okay, well
I'll shoot on you. Yeah, that's

177
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.039
right, or at least something to
that effect. I would like to trump

178
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.840
that suggestion, James writes with sequence
who I knew that was coming. I

179
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.399
said it before I even read it. It was bad enough when fuck heads

180
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.519
on Twitter would say it, and
companion to a ten second clip of something

181
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.559
only mildly exciting. But the shark
was well and truly jumped. When you

182
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.039
hear Michael Cole or Corey Graves exclaim, wow, what a sequence on the

183
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.519
call fucking hate fucking rast laying Yes, awkward landing. That's another one,

184
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.240
Like we're now acknowledging on the wrestling
broadcast that there's a clean way to take

185
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.120
a fall because it's totally phony,
right, ooh, bad landing. Where

186
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.559
was this figure skating? I thought
this wasn't ballet. It is ballet.

187
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.879
Come on, it's a dance like
oh that would actually hurt folks because he

188
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.559
fucked it up? What are we
doing here? What are we doing?

189
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:26.080
Maybe Zach going answer late mail bag? All right? Uh, Zach morning

190
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.840
Chentz. Sorry for this late late
email, but I'm just now getting to

191
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.039
the tnh mail bag and figured i'd
shared my TNA house show experience for you.

192
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.360
It's pre Hogan, but I do
think it's relevant to how To.

193
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.639
I think it's how sad empathetic TNA
was at the time. The show was

194
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.720
in el Myra, not to be
confused with el Vira, New York,

195
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.399
and I got a couple of my
high school buddies to meet up there since

196
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.440
it was sort of in the middle
of our for all our colleges. It

197
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.519
was a tiny hockey arena that was
maybe half full at best, like one

198
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.639
hundred people, so being college kids, we were pretty rambunctious all night.

199
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.440
In particular, this show happened right
after Christian joined up and Kurt Angle got

200
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.159
hit with a dui like the week
prior, so when their main event match

201
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.240
started, I stood up in the
AA did it quiet, and shouted,

202
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.200
de you way, Oh boy,
those were the dead at the top of

203
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.919
my lungs. That's really fucking great. I will never forget the death stare

204
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:37.559
that Kurt Angle shot my way full
ninety degree pivot to the soft cam side.

205
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.360
He probably wanted to handle me like
Bob Holly did Daniel Peter. And

206
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.200
that's not even the best part.
Later in the match, Christian has him

207
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:52.080
a kneeling an, a kneeling rest
sleeper. When my buddy yells that's right,

208
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.639
get him in his weakness, his
broken freaking neck, and then I

209
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.519
chime in, this is fucking you, and I would do no, get

210
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:07.279
him in his real weakness, give
him a beer and his keys. Jesus

211
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.200
christ guys, ruthless, Come on, Perkangle deserves better than that. The

212
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.759
entire place, No, he doesn't. The entire place erupts in laughter,

213
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.159
and Christian corpses so much that he
actually dropped the headlock. I'm sure he

214
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.799
had some hard words for Christian backstage, but at least Christian wasn't banging his

215
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.480
wife right well, Karl's best finisher
would have been the key lock. I'll

216
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:41.519
tell you that I don't remember much
else about that show, about the show

217
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.759
because and eight two thousand and eight
TNA wasn't much better than DNA era,

218
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.519
but figured i'd share since the same. Then, the shame of being a

219
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:56.720
wrestling fan binds us together, and
we deserve it. That's right. Shame

220
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.200
to tell you, Zach. But
those those or the memories you have,

221
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.039
even if you remember every single thing
that happened in the ring on the oh,

222
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.679
yeah, you know, you're gonna
remember joking around with your friends and

223
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.600
trying to pop each other. That's
like, it's the whole fucking thing We've

224
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.000
been doing over ten years here.
It drives some people nuts, thankfully they're

225
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.799
gone ten years. But we've been
doing it since fucking two thousand and one.

226
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:20.200
Right, this is just a continuation
of the same fucking thing. We

227
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.600
would fucking do it at all these
shows, sitting in it was baked in

228
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:30.480
alright, sitting up at a quarter
filled dunkin Donut Center, up in the

229
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.960
fucking rafters, dressed like JR.
Purposely screaming yes balcony tickets for a show

230
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:41.919
we knew would not sell out the
lower bowl. We can screen forward better

231
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.960
seats, but we chose to see
the balcony shows. We said, how

232
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.399
funny would it be if we sat
up there by ourselves? Essentially because we

233
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.600
knew how like how much like you
know, when you buy the tickets,

234
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.960
they just show you what's what's available. It's like everything was available. You

235
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.399
know. It was a fucking It
was ridiculous. And what do I remember?

236
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.799
I remember saying things like, you
know, he should team book a

237
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.720
TSHA team with Goldberg and call the
team whoopee Goldberg. Yes, I remember

238
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.080
these things, you know, yes, and and uh, you know,

239
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:18.039
probably spouting our favorite big show.
You know, he's he's got a family

240
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.240
to feed. Hell, he's got
himself to feed. In this vain Zach

241
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.919
writes in My Wrestling, I want
carnies, not social media personalities pretending to

242
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.080
be cool wrestlers. And he also
urges you, boss to eat that WWF

243
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.519
cereal that we got for Christmas.
All right, but those preservatives, he

244
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:33.759
says, it will be all good. And this is a member of the

245
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.960
bar here, So there we go. You could take that to the bank,

246
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.679
John calla Hill. We want to
thank you for the Patreon pledge.

247
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.080
Welcome to the vip t or same
to you, Tim Brick it's a pleasure

248
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:49.399
to have won your confidence and your
business. Ellis rights. Regarding the passage

249
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.679
of time, we are now as
far away from Lex Luger slamming Yokazuna and

250
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.080
the intrepid as Lex Luger slamming Yokozuna
was from Bruno Si Martino's title win over

251
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:03.399
Buddy. Wow. That's horrifying.
I mean that is because Nobodice's black and

252
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.200
white TV. Yes, you know, it's like you can't there was a

253
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.160
year where there wasn't where there wasn't
color TV, and the next year when

254
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.200
there was. And even though that's
one year, it had to have seen

255
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.319
like thirty year difference between the two, oh totally. And so when you

256
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.680
tell me that like ten years before
something that happened in the sixties was the

257
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.319
fifties, I ah, just can't
process it. Time moves more slowly,

258
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.880
and that's the way it should have
been. I don't know who said it.

259
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.039
Someone said it just so plainly the
other day on something I was watching,

260
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.920
and I son of a Bitch,
and I made a point to remember

261
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.000
who said it. Now I already
forgot. Someone just came right out and

262
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.119
said life was so much better before
social media no, yeah, and they

263
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.400
just said it in a way that
wasn't like they weren't trying to make a

264
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.359
case, they weren't trying to,
like, you know, get engagement.

265
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.160
They were just in a talk format
And I was like, God, damn

266
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:55.359
it isn't that. Isn't that so
simple? Yes? I argue with that.

267
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.720
You can't. You can't argue with
that. I mean, come on,

268
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:03.039
folks. Some things it's improved,
but there's no way in the final

269
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.119
math, it's I mean, really, the thing that that it's really improved

270
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:12.160
for the most part is it just
allows people to remember other people's birthdays.

271
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.240
Yeah, that's something, right,
It makes people feel special. I'm not

272
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.960
against that, No, I'm not
against it. But what's great is you

273
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.880
can keep in touch with relatives and
friends you otherwise wouldn't keep in touch with

274
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.839
and watch them get radicalized every day. That's great. Well, the the

275
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.559
and the really the best part is
the fact that you can you can keep

276
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.160
in touch with people without actually have
keep in touch with it, right,

277
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.200
you can keep in touch with it
the way you really want to, which

278
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.079
is by doing nothing at all.
Doing nothing at all. It's like just

279
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.839
watching them and making comments in your
mind. When you see the picture of

280
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.400
them. We're trying to be happy. It's a fucking beautiful situation we're in

281
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.519
here. Chris, thanks very much
for the pledge. We appreciate it.

282
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.119
My friend Evan Schlansky, Yes,
we appreciate that. Cake Ben Oddsley,

283
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.599
longtime supporter, recently up the pledge. We did notice that. We want

284
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.720
to make sure to send a shout
out your way. Zach also right,

285
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.920
you know, we haven't got a
lot of pap us Sorrow on the cast.

286
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.680
Had no offense to Mama Sorrow or
JP. But after meeting him at

287
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.960
Survivor series, which Zach did when
we did the Moat get together at at

288
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.559
the Garden, I think he might
be the star of the show. Yeah.

289
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.640
Anybody who meets John Sorrow and you
come home, except he doesn't.

290
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.519
He wants like nothing to do with
it. Tell me about it. He's

291
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.839
wise. What does he think about
wrestle Mamia? Oh well, he thinks

292
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.920
hilarious, Like he thinks it's hilarious, especially you know when my mom goes

293
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:32.039
off on these weird tangents about like
her childhood and shit like he he you

294
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.759
know, when he's in the room
for that, he's oftentimes. You know,

295
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:37.960
if you, if you listen,
if you, if you're if you

296
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:45.319
are a motor you you've probably heard
by this point the sound of like dishes

297
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.759
being cleaned in the background at times, you know, because because there's my

298
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.880
dad cleaning dishes while we're while my
mom and I are watching wrestling phenomenal.

299
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.119
Yeah, and it's like if you
if you ever saw half the ship that

300
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.200
my mom says gets the reaction of
him like turning around and looking at her

301
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:11.440
like yeah, or or just like
shaking his head like, oh, you

302
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.200
know, just disappointed the best.
Yeah, he showed up, man,

303
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.680
he showed up. That's virus series
get Together and like the pizza was on

304
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.039
order and it was glorious. He
took their of business. Yeah, he

305
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.279
has lapsand shirt on too, didn't
he. That's right, that's right,

306
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:29.279
he listen't he's he fully supports the
show, and he'd probably come on at

307
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:34.480
some point, but I don't think
he he he wouldn't have the same like,

308
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.759
he wouldn't have the same train of
thought with like my mom, would

309
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.279
you know right right right? He
wouldn't sit there and be as inquisitive no,

310
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:47.599
no, and he would mind and
yeah, yeah, he wouldn't be

311
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:55.079
able to also, you know,
freely and innocently, right, Uh,

312
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.759
suspend disbelief as my mom does.
Right, it just comes naturally. No

313
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:02.359
man could. There's a reason that
there's a reason we say wrestle Mamia,

314
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:06.279
not wressell parent, because it's right. It's the mom guarantee, the mom

315
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.680
reaction. In particular to the Cave
of Nature wrestling, Nick writes a possible

316
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.839
link to get planes, trains,
and automobiles to qualify for Under the Cinema

317
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.119
if the film was set in nineteen
eighty seven. Neil and Dell arrive in

318
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.240
Chicago the night of Star K eighty
seven, which was held a mile from

319
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.200
La Sale van Buren station at the
UIC Pavilion. Okay, there's there's there's

320
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:32.400
that there there is that. There
is that I'm willing to investigate it.

321
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.960
Have you ever read the planes?
Trains? I have. I have tried

322
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:45.119
to find there's so ah there.
I've tried. I forget where I stumbled

323
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:51.759
on this, but I stumbled on
one thing that said, and this would

324
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.119
have been this would have done it, and this would have opened up a

325
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:59.000
whole other window. But I did
stumble upon and I God, I can't

326
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:04.200
remember where I found it, but
a some some claim that in the eighties

327
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:11.240
John Candy was a fan, that
he was a fan of wrestling, and

328
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:18.160
that occasionally he would do not on
television shows, but I think on house

329
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:25.960
shows he would occasionally be a guest
ring announcer. Oh wow. But I

330
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:33.400
found nothing to back that up,
So I don't know. We can dream.

331
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.319
I can't imagine John Candy being a
fan. I can imagine John Candy

332
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.960
being a fan for sure. Tom
Deary, thanks for the increased pledge.

no, no, let's it's hanging in

it seriously. Jonathan Kershner, Welcome to

Dorian writes, I've lived in Saint
Louis all my life, and it's so

344
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:32.960
surreal to know that my grandmother probably
had chances to buy Rumble tickets from her

345
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:37.680
favorite department store, Famous Bar.
Remember we found the newspaper ads for that

346
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.880
first house show, Royal rumbaugh Ough
how you could buy tickets to see The

347
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.000
Rumble before it was a television special, having no idea that she could have

348
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.839
gotten that nda action from the McMahon
on a historical night in Rostling history.

349
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:55.359
Okay, Dorian, It's an interesting
place to take it, but the real

350
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.440
nice you can take it, honestly. Huh. Famous Barr takes me back

351
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.599
to that beautiful time. Macy's bought
them in the late nineties, I believe,

352
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.000
because you know, we can't have
shit. That's right, That is

353
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.759
right, it is. Come on, you know I have a lot of

354
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.880
respect for eighties department stores, I
really do. Yes, yep, in

355
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.759
seventies apartment stores, I mean that
was you know, you grow up thinking

356
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:21.039
that your department store is all across
the country, and then you realize it

357
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.799
isn't right. Nope, you realize
that it's really a regional thing at best.

358
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.359
Paul the Saints fan, an incredible
supporter of the show. We want

359

James writes, I am a real
Canadian fight for the rights. Oh

370
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.000
okay, this is these are lyrics. Can I get it? Yes?

371
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:15.640
First I want to see what what
do you put this comment on? Let's

372
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:22.079
see Royal Rommel nineteen eighty eight.
I am a real Canadian fight for the

373
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:27.160
rights to back bacon. I am
a real Canadian fight for what's right.

374
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:33.640
Be so polite when it comes crashing
down like a hockey fight. Brother,

375
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.720
you gotta drink it down like a
can of sprite, purple sprite. If

376
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.680
you hurt my friends, then you
hurt my pride. I got to lend

377
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:45.200
a hand and maybe a moose hide. Conrad Benjamin, thank you very much

378
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.680
for the pledge. You appreciate it. Buddy Rus Paxon, coming in strong

379
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.319
with a meaty pledge. We love
it. William Boyle, welcome in,

380
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.599
my friend. We appreciate it.
Probably Enchilada's rights. I can't get enough

381
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:59.119
of lapsed Harley In general Harley talk
during World Class, Jack called him the

382
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:10.880
living embodiment of an anchor tattoo.
He's always dragging. He's always dragging some

383
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.440
He's always dragging someone out in the
woods and plotting all kinds of sadistic ship.

384
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.880
Yes, yes, he drags them
like he's bored with it. Yep,

385
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:32.000
I'm gonna burn down a building.
Well, I can do that,

386
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:40.519
Harley, is there need to be
a reason. That's exactly what he's say

387
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:45.960
and you look at you likeet that. Don't ask me why I'm gonna do

388
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.880
it because the damn thing tells me
to do it. Wait a minute,

389
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:59.960
the damn thing also known as the
voices in your head. Perhaps my tattoo

390
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.880
tells me to do it. Casey, thanks for the increased pledge. We

391
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:10.799
appreciate it very much. Zach Golaher, Jonathan Pierce, Dylan Smith. How

392
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:15.279
about the kid? How about Joseph
Nubauer pumping up that pledge? We love

393
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.359
it, Paul writes Nit Pickery.
While I think your overall point about Men's

394
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.599
Rumble winners almost never winning and the
main event is sound, I think it

395
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.839
is worth noting days these days,
Becky Lynch and Bianca bell Air did both

396
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.920
win the Rumble and the main event
of WrestleMania in recent years. Boss.

397
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.480
Yes, no, it's true.
No, listen, I'm with you.

398
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:41.039
But if you look at the Men's
Rumble in the last you know, the

399
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:47.799
last god maybe like twenty thirty years
whatever it is now, it's not been

400
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:53.559
that it's been. The majority is
otherwise. I think the first time it

401
00:27:53.599 --> 00:28:02.160
really really came to my attention was
the uh it was I think the Alberto

402
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:04.799
del Rio win. Yeah, And
it was just kind of like that was

403
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:10.960
the most artigious one by mine,
because because you think they're gonna fucking okay,

404
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:12.000
it's like, you know, I
didn't. I didn't buy the rumble

405
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.440
win at all. It wasn't something
that I was excited about. But okay,

406
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:21.799
we're here, so go with it. And no, and then it

407
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.599
just seemed like and he lost to
Edge who were tired the next night,

408
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.640
right, right, exactly? Can't
you know, I understand if you don't

409
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.519
want to go with Alberto, but
have the foresight to have him win the

410
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.079
rumble, because at that point,
all you're doing is hurting the rumble,

411
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.079
right, which is like one of
your key assets and should be something that

412
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.160
people can rely on to send a
signal. That's part of why people are

413
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.000
so pissed about Cody. I swear
to god, it's it's it's not so

414
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.960
much Cody as it is. They're
so mad that they still believe that the

415
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.880
winner of the rumble matters, right, and when they realize that that can

416
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.240
just as easily that that's not any
more sac or saying than anything else.

417
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:59.359
They tell themselves as a rule of
thumb about wrestling that WW can do whatever

418
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.480
the fuck they want want and you
will continue to page exactly. I agree.

419
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:04.960
I agree with that that that's really
what it is. I don't think

420
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.039
people would have its problems as part
of it. I think I think people

421
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.319
would be fine, would be more
or less fine with it if fucking rock

422
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:17.480
was in the rumbland one. That's
right, if they had their fucking head

423
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:19.480
on straight ahead of time in terms
of like, if we know we're going

424
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:25.799
rock Roman, what is the point
and making people you get it? Getting

425
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.960
excited about Cody. It's so stupid, right, but we'll see, uh

426
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.559
the geek critique. Thank you for
increasing your pledge, my friend. We

427
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.799
appreciate your support very much. Tim
Lenares, thanks very much for upping your

428
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:42.240
pledge, saying to you Richie Smiley
and Andreda balas Sobrenominium, which is tough.

429
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.200
I tried my best there. We
appreciate the support. Mark Henry,

430
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.079
sure it's not that Mark Henry.
Could might be I never know, couldn't

431
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:52.519
be. Paul p thanks for the
increased pledge. Dylan McIntyre, We love

432
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.799
it. Welcome to the You think
you think people, you think anybody calls

433
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:03.519
them backstage Mark Hank. I think
the chances there And I never say this

434
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:10.680
about Mark Henry slim to none.
I would call him Mark Hank. I

435
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:15.240
feel bad for Chris because he commented
under our coverage of Last Action Hero under

436
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.720
the Cinema, Yes, yes,
back last Summer, which I didn't care

437
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.519
for at all. He wrote,
I must admit it hurt to hear Jack

438
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:25.599
shit on a movie that I'm wah. Yeah, But if TLF has taught

439
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.599
me anything, it's that life is
pain, that's right. Yeah, I

440
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:33.400
mean, I'm sorry, I can't
it's you know, honestly, I feel

441
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.400
like the only reason why I enjoy
it is because because I saw it as

442
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.119
a kid, and I saw it
when it was in theaters and I and

443
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.240
I enjoyed it, but you know, and so it has a nostalgia flavor

444
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.720
for me. But it's not a
great movie at all. Yeah. Yeah,

445
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:49.839
that's that's totally sensible. I mean, we talk all the time in

446
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:53.400
terms of full disclosure when we look
at old shows on laps fan mad.

447
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:59.000
Yeah. Yeah, that that's a
huge that that is of course, a

448
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.279
part that you cannot disassociate from how
you feel about old matches, old wrestlers,

449
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:06.119
old shows. Of course, that's
the case. You can you can

450
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.000
be diligent and studious about saying,
Okay, what are the composite reasons for

451
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:12.640
why this was great? And let's
not be so lazy as to say that

452
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:17.359
in every single case ninety eight percent
of it is nostalgia, because if you

453
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:21.279
have a discerning eye, it's probably
ten percent nostalgia. And that's not enough

454
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:23.160
of an advantage to say that that's
the only reason I think this is better.

455
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.799
No, I think this is better
for mostly reasons that have nothing to

456
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:32.200
do with what age I am.
I found myself after the Lapsed Funk being

457
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.640
incredibly nostalgic for the pace, the
tone, and the style of nineteen seventies

458
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.039
wrestling. I didn knew I wasn't
alive in the seventies, So how do

459
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.960
you account for that? I mean, it's the same thing I felt with

460
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.480
the von Erics, like all that
world class stuff. I was like,

461
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.279
right, it's because it was better. That's why we feel the way we

462
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.480
do about it. Yeah, now, because we lived it, but because

463
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.480
in an honest Frank assessment. You
know, the bigger bias is being The

464
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:02.799
bigger bias isn't pstalgia. The bigger
bias is anti nostalgia. Right, That's

465
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:07.799
the more corrosive force. That's the
thing that makes people more dishonest, is

466
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:15.359
just constantly striving to insulate themselves from
being accused of liking something simply because it

467
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:22.160
took place during their childhood. Yes, the right, the the the absolute

468
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:30.960
not people tie themselves up into avoid
being accused of having those rose colored glasses

469
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:37.880
on is doubly absurd compared to people
citing their childhood as a reason they love

470
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.079
something. You know, if you're
if you're worth a shit, you can

471
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:44.519
explain why it was great, and
you're yeah, maybe you're making the case

472
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:46.960
that the way entertainment was conceived,
thought of, and produced in your time

473
00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:50.720
was superior to the way it's thought
of, conceived, and produced today.

474
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.759
And come on, when it comes
to like the general diet of entertainment that's

475
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.319
out there, you're going to argue
that. I mean, I understand that

476
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:01.279
prestige TV streaming ten episodes a season, it's made on the level of cinema,

477
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:04.920
And yes, television blows a blow
a minute for a minute, is

478
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.519
better if we even consider it television, because they have so many fucking advantages

479
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:12.880
with swears and yeah, you know, hardly any ads if you subscribe to

480
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.079
a high enough to year and all
that shit that it's really ridiculous to almost

481
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:16.880
say that, like a TV is
better than it was. Then it's a

482
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:22.400
yeah, well, they had to
actually make a product that that appealed to

483
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:23.720
people and sold ads back then,
I was gonna say, right, like,

484
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.400
the difference was is that is that
you know, you're not you know,

485
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.039
you're not asking for subscriptions. You
know, you're not asking for people

486
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:35.480
to fucking pay to watch your shit
like you actually had to. That wasn't

487
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.000
even the thing. Now, people
wouldn't have done it back then. It

488
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.920
was like it had to have a
beat on the people, you know.

489
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:44.920
And right, and we're not wants
to complain because a show like this could

490
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.839
never have thrived in the time period
we yearn for. It's too hyper niche,

491
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.519
you know, right, So thank
god that there's a way to you

492
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:57.119
know, just to demonstrate value by
broadcasting obsessively to a niche like this.

493
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.039
We love that fact. It does
not change, however, the fact that

494
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:05.880
show for show production for production,
dollar for dollars spent. Entertainment produce way

495
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:09.039
better stuff twenty years ago than it
does today. There's still great stuff,

496
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:15.159
but I'm talking about the barriers to
entry. Used to matter. There,

497
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.920
used to actually be people that decided
this is worth making and this isn't It

498
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.360
wasn't all just a big fucking well, I'll just throw it up there.

499
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.119
Because content hours, Thank god,
that era is coming to an end.

500
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:29.679
That was a nauseating time, wasn't
it. Yes, streaming services competing with

501
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:32.320
each other because we have fourteen thousand
hours and they only have ten thousand.

502
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:36.039
Like you're ever going to watch more
than one hundred hours before you're in the

503
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:40.079
fucking grave, I know, Like
as if you know, think of a

504
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.960
millions of different things you're not gonna
watch before you die, right, It's

505
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:46.960
like this is a problem that there's
that many hours. That's not a good

506
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.039
thing. I mean there is some
component if if it's like a hyper narrow

507
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.599
casted thing to a devoted fan base
that yeah, having every show ever is

508
00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:00.920
awesome conceptually. Having every sl available
is awesome conceptually. And I'm not saying

509
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.760
people don't go back and watch them. It's it's that is, that is

510
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.639
a value, that there's a there
is money that that's worth. But that

511
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:15.360
is not a proposition to me,
to the consumer. That's not like this

512
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:17.840
is what you're getting if you buy
it. That's almost always like a fringe

513
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:22.880
benefit. I'll even say that about
the network. You know, obviously it

514
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.280
is. I mean, considering how
many people watch the archive stuff. I

515
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.280
mean, they can't people trip over
themselves to to say that, you know,

516
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:34.119
no one watches the old stuff because
they're to watch the old stuff because

517
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:37.239
right, they're very favorably with the
current stuff, right or vice versas so.

518
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:39.840
Joseph Goodbert, thank you very much
for bumping up the pledge. We

519
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:44.000
love it and we appreciate the support. Logan Love Thanks very much, Daniel,

520
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.320
we appreciate the cake. General Smedley
butt Sex goddamn right. Hopefully he

521
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.920
just pledged to get us to say
that, consider it. You think they'll

522
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:55.199
you'll think they'll you think they'll make
uh, you think they'll make Cody dresses

523
00:35:55.239 --> 00:36:00.320
Stardust to wrestle Inia. This fucking
hell. There's no way he gets through

524
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.199
the rest of his WWE career without
having to put that on one more time,

525
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.719
even if it's just for like a
they'll tell themselves it's just for like

526
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:07.679
a little nostalgia, a posography,
a Halloween, a Halloween thing. Oh

527
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.159
god, yeah, yeah, like
a Halloween episode. Well, that's the

528
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:15.000
whole reason they brought him back is
to eventually make him do that. Veterans,

529
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:17.679
right, listen, listen, listen. All right, here's the Deal's

530
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:23.400
boss wants to deal. Well,
we know, we know, we know

531
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:28.320
what Vince nick Mann said, we
know what laps Vince said about about Cody.

532
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:35.239
But let's not forget too that Cody
brought a sledge hammer to the throne.

533
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:39.000
Oh all right, And and I'm
sorry, but I don't think and

534
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:44.239
try to turn himself and Brandy in
contriplation stuff. Hated them so much they

535
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.119
try to become them, and that
I don't. I don't think Triple H

536
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:51.400
forgets, Absolutely not. There's no
way he's Triple H if he forgets stuff

537
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:58.360
like that. He is the most
like grudge harboring guy like you've ever heard

538
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:00.559
of. Yes, absolutely, his
face, his bald head is glasses.

539
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:06.599
His like that the Tony uses in
press conferences. Can you like think about

540
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:12.039
it? Think about him like hearing
an annoying idea in like a conference room,

541
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:14.599
all right, and he's looking down
at papers, and he looks up

542
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:20.880
eyes over the glasses, just with
the complete oh, you feel like you

543
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.400
want to die in your seat,
Yes, exactly, makes you feel like

544
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:28.239
you're two feet tall. But he
doesn't say anything. He just says it

545
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.599
with his face. Yep. And
then when you leave the room, he

546
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.480
talk shit, that's the power of
the game. And when the light's on,

547
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:36.400
he tends his fingers on the table
like he's I guess you could say

548
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.559
that's the way the game is played. You can hear the jangle of the

549
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:45.400
four thousand bracelets he wears on the
tabletop. I mean, I hope folks

550
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:49.480
realize by now that most of it, in terms of business, most of

551
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.079
it is the sound that your cufflinks
make when it hits the top of the

552
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.159
tabletop, the glass tabletop. Yes, And the way you move your hands

553
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:59.960
and sweep something away, or the
bullshit where you like move your coffee cup

554
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:02.639
one hundred times while you're talking,
or the way you like or the way

555
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.440
you're you know, when you stroke
your beard the yea, the sound it

556
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:09.599
makes people who have glasses just so
they can take them off when they make

557
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:15.880
a comment. Yeah, please stop
with all this performative nonsense. I'm so

558
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:21.119
glad we're on audio only for that
reason. You know we can't exactly I'm

559
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:25.239
out here to fucking dance for people, labs. Veteran, thanks for your

560
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:29.360
increase in pledge. We appreciate it. Pal Willie Thompson, your goddamn right.

561
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:30.800
Where's that cake? Myer Mania?
What a great member of the solar

562
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.880
system. He is putting his money
where his mouth is. Luke Polly writes.

My mother in law walks into the
kitchen as the lapsed woman in the

564
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:43.280
front row screams. This is from
Rumble eighty eight. Remember we show the

565
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:49.880
megaphone m H as the front row
woman screams, Ricky, I'm putting a

566
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:58.480
dildo into my wet pussy Ricky.
Yeah. I consider myself in the business

567
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:02.159
of collecting moments where leaf is on
the loud speaker and yes, somebody who

568
00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:06.920
isn't hip to the scene, those
are my moments. Okay, yes,

569
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:15.760
drive throughs in that moment fucking the
world rocked. Thank you, that's exactly

570
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:20.440
right. Okay, Let's see what
else we have here in that in that

571
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:22.519
good old male bag. Morgan Brown, thank you very much for the cake.

572
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.639
Appreciate it. Matthew McIntyre, once
again, Thank you, Damon Torres,

Omar abdel Satar, thank you so
much. Cyrus the virus. I'm

much for the cake. Hardway Butt Juice

brother remembers calling TKR Cable to see
if they were going to show the bunk

576
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:45.119
House Stampede, and the lady on
the phone laughed at me and said no

577
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:53.159
and hung up right. Good for
good for her. Awesome, Damian Thorn,

578

Ryan Morris, thank you so much, Alex writes, or Ali writes

Boss. Out of the following lapsed
characters, Hogan, Macho, Vince,

580
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:07.079
Dusty Jesse. Tell the Solar System
which voice gives you the most elation when

581
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:14.480
you have them say the word fuck? Ah, Hogan, Vince, dust

582
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:21.199
Jesse. I think it's Savage.
I think Savage is the one that pops

583
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:28.719
me the most, but just because
because because you know, I think it's

584
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:32.519
because there's there's so much emotion in
his voice as it is, you know,

585
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:37.559
the coming out that you really don't
need, you don't need fuck,

586
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:43.440
And so when it happens, it's
just like it's like, well, wait,

587
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:46.440
like put whose ship like you don't
need it exactly right, you don't

588
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:52.280
need it, and so when it
happens in right exactly I love that.

589
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:54.599
Like the first time you said big
fucking beef, doing the same, Jim,

590
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:02.840
it's a T shirt. That's how
good that. Gotta have spice,

591
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:08.360
gotta have this big fucking beef,
this idea that just stopped the commercial shoot

592
00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:15.519
Cat, you know, because he
can't not say fuck. I think he

593
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:25.360
said I got my taking my head
or something. So so oh my god,

594
00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:30.119
Cold Stone Steve Austin honed right in
on something that I totally agree with.

595
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.119
That Under the Cinemat episode ninety nine
on The Wrestler the two thousand and

596
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.239
eight Mickey Rourke picture one of the
best, he writes new UTC masterpiece,

597
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:44.000
maybe the best ever, Jack tossing
out ladies and gentlemen left and right as

598
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:49.400
is only approachriate absolutely Mickey Warick saying
about the ending, I hope he dies.

599
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.480
It's the you know what's funny,
you know what's interesting. I don't

600
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.599
think there's been one since that actually
ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I don't

601
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:58.440
think I don't. Yeah, I
don't force it. No, And that's

602
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:04.239
what I love about it. I
love that that that it it truly it

603
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:07.280
truly I want to keep you hunting
for those money flights. Yep, yep,

604
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.599
so that maybe. I mean it's
all and it's all a thing like

605
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:15.559
I sit there and I and I
say to myself, I wonder I I

606
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:20.960
It's like I don't think about it
until it happens. Yes, and then

607
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:24.159
when it happens, I'm like,
oh shit, this this is going to

608
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:27.920
be it. This is going to
be it. Yeah. I mean that's

609
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:30.800
that's a huge motivating factor for me. When I research episodes. It's like,

610
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.159
is this going to pop the boss? And I don't mean just make

611
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:37.039
you laugh. I mean it's going
to be a moment like I'm presenting my

612
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.760
findings to you. It goes back
to reading the observer, Yes exactly.

613
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:45.559
It goes back to dropping information on
you that that you just didn't know about.

614
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:49.760
Yep. That's the joy of that. Yeah, And the fans and

615
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.320
the listeners get to share on that. But that's really why we're doing it.

616
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.480
Yeah, that's it. That's all
it's always been, right exactly.

617
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:59.760
Okay, new UTC masterpiece, maybe
the best ever. Jack tossing out ladies

618
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:01.639
and him and left and right,
Mickey Work saying about the ending, I

619
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:06.320
hope he dies. It's the only
thing for him. Yes, about the

620
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:10.079
about the Randy the Ram character,
Jack saying he would say cunt to James

621
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:20.360
Lipton's face JP, JP lying that
he loves E. C W and t

622
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:29.199
NA and his cameo requests you just
fut it. No, I heard it.

623
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:34.079
I didn't. I didn't have time
times and not to say it's never

624
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.920
happened. No, no, oh
my god. Honestly, you know,

625
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:45.320
big man, I say that.
I say that as much again to to

626
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:49.159
get it, to get a pop
out of you and listeners. Honest to

627
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.199
god, that's always what it is
like. I don't I say it like

628
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.039
partially to like kiss ass, but
mostly it's like I want people to hear

629
00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:58.599
me say this. If you didn't
say that, they'd still probably give you

630
00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:02.159
the same cameo, right right.
Ernest Miller saying Rickie Mickey warr he's so

631
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:06.159
different than me. Asking fucking Kevin
Nash what his favorite classic film was like

632
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:10.000
that was it was only to fucking
have him go into that ship. Yeah,

633
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:14.679
and just fucking yeah. Do you
think I really wanted to know what

634
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:22.119
Kevin Sullivan's snow shoveling routine was when
we asked him at startcast, Oh so

635
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:24.800
fucking great. Do you think I
really wanted to know what hul Cochin has

636
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:28.719
for breakfast? When we asked Brian
fucking Knobs to answer the question, we

637
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:30.920
better come, we better come to
Philly with some clean fifty dollars bills,

638
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:36.119
any questions to answer? That's exactly
exactly Selim heard back from Warlord. Have

639
00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:39.280
we gonna fucking shoot up to shoot
that cash out? Fucking like a like

640
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:44.440
a goddamn card dispenser. Next the
next time in my move, I thought

641
00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:46.440
about this because if you if you
follow us on Patreon, last time we

642
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:49.519
were on the ground to wrestle me
and you you know, we do live

643
00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:53.719
journaling for patrons only audio journalist as
we you know, take in the environs

644
00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:57.239
of the Carney Show coming to town. And so we were at the Wrestlicon

645
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.880
Hotel in La and Barbarian and Warlord
were there with their manager Guy, and

646
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:04.840
I wanted to ask Warlord about putting
his ear up to the courtroom door in

647
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.679
the Vince trial and other things I'm
sure you can't wait to talking about MM

648
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:12.840
and they asked us forty questions before
we can ask them one, and then

649
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.320
they have to write our number down. Look back in touch with this later

650
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:20.159
because they're so busy sitting there twiddling
their fucking fucking sitting there fucking jerking off

651
00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:22.239
under the table. That was before
we rentedto Brian Knobbs, where I realized

652
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:24.840
here's the move. You say,
hey, guys, can I pay you

653
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:30.199
two hundred dollars to do a five
minute interview? And they'll say no,

654
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:34.599
and then you walk away and then
they'll wait a minute. Yeah, that's

655
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:37.840
exactly. That's just the counter with
a number. They'll go not forget it,

656
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:39.280
and then they'll that's it worked with
Brian, it works with all of

657
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:42.960
them. They're just you know,
they just want to look. Look.

658
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.360
All they want to do is make
sure that they don't have to pay for

659
00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:49.159
their lunch. Yeah, they've told
themselves their stars, so they've told themselves

660
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:52.199
their time as much. Yeah,
and their time is not there is no

661
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.519
longer money, but we're willing to
humor them. Yes, if their time

662
00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:00.519
was money, they would not be
at this convention, right, Ernest Miller

663
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:07.079
saying Mickey Warwick looked like an old
ass DDP that's funny, discussing bagels with

664
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:14.119
the Aronofskys and getting salmon from the
locksmith Terry Gross saying wrestling is the theater

665
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:20.760
of cruelty and suffering. When talking
about the sex scene in Rahway, Jack

666
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:29.360
said he was doing her the Rahway
too many great moments to mention that it

667
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.360
was delightful listening to the live call
of Mickey slinging egg salad as reference to

668
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:40.639
God's nothing better than him, fucking
it's the ultimate scene, the ultimate scene,

669
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:50.519
slinging, slinging. It does,
but it's fucking just Hey, don

670
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:52.639
what are you? What are you
beautiful? What are you? What do

671
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:57.519
you have for me? And Nash
nailed it in that cameo, like you

672
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:01.159
can't get away with iron Claw because
the wrestler got made. So you can't

673
00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:04.599
tell me, you know what I
mean, that you have to make a

674
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:07.880
shit wrestling, no shit wrestling movie. That's unfair. You can't tell me

675
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:12.480
that I can that because I'm such
a hardcore wrestling fan that I can't enjoy

676
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:15.280
a wrestling movie that I can't ever
be satisfied. You can't tell me that

677
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:19.360
because the wrestler got made, and
I would watch that movie four hundred thousand

678
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:23.039
fucking times. It's a really good
movie, you know, like it's it's

679
00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:29.360
a really really good movie. It
deserved all the all the Academy Award nominations

680
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:31.519
it got. But you know,
you look at the story of Von Erics

681
00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:36.199
and you think that that deserves an
Academy Award nomination before you even make the

682
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:40.639
fucking movie. I mean, in
reality, it does. It does in

683
00:47:40.760 --> 00:47:45.320
theory, but it's not an execution, not not this not this version.

684
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:49.440
But like the only reason you would
think that that it isn't worthy is because

685
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:53.039
you know, the Von Eric's story
is such bullshit. It's a bad movie.

686
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:57.440
It's a bad movie. More time, I was kind of I was

687
00:47:57.519 --> 00:47:59.760
light on it. Right afterwards,
I didn't I wasn't impressed, but I

688
00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:00.960
was. The more time passes,
I'm just like, yeah, that was

689
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.519
nothing. Man. No one can
no one can look back and be like,

690
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.800
yeah, man, like I know, Adele said, zach Efron did

691
00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:10.119
a good job, but that's about
the extent of it, especially because like

692
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:14.639
the fucking I mean, look how
quickly it died. I mean, there

693
00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:19.079
was so much there was so much
hype going on. They were trying so

694
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:22.599
hard, and it died a fucking
miserable death. It did. It did

695
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:25.199
well second week. Actually, it
did way better a second week than you

696
00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:29.159
had any Yeah, I mean well, I mean I'm talking about like in

697
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:34.440
terms of recognition and totally and and
and you know, you know, there's

698
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.079
nobody, you know, the moment
it came out, people stopped talking about

699
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:40.199
it. Maybe did well box office
wise, but nobody was talking about it,

700
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:43.960
and it was it was only a
matter of time. It's amazing,

701
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:47.320
It's amazing, clearly, you know, when it comes down to the finderic

702
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:52.280
movie is coming gone, we're on
the other side of it being made so

703
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:55.559
bizarre. It's it is bizarre.
It is bizarre. And you know again

704
00:48:55.559 --> 00:49:00.360
it's it's a it's a damn shame. Like I meant, and I was

705
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:04.920
selling. I was selfish, I
really I just wanted I wanted Holt to

706
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:08.599
get nominated, just to oh,
yeah, hear him say particular podcast of

707
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:14.199
anybody in the movie. He did, he did, absolutely he did.

708
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:17.800
But yeah, what I mean,
I guess it did well. I'm looking

709
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:21.480
at the box office right now.
We don't know, though, I'll never

710
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:30.840
know because you never really know in
terms of because the budgets that they put

711
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:35.239
out there. We don't know if
it's the actual budget or if it's or

712
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:42.000
if it's you know, just their
production budget and not talking about their marketing

713
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:45.280
budget, which usually doubles the budget. Whatever it is. I see,

714
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:50.199
Yeah, I mean, I just
remember hearing the box office returns. I

715
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:53.119
remember Meltzer looking at him and it
was like it actually went up week two,

716
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:57.760
which movies never do. Yeah,
so there was a positive buzz.

717
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.800
It was that holiday thing too.
The first week two was like Christmas week,

718
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:05.239
and I know that's a good movie
going week in theory, but the

719
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:07.400
week after Christmas, to me,
is is also just as likely to be

720
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:13.079
shore of course. Yeah, I
mean that whole that whole holiday week is

721
00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:17.880
is uh, the week between Christmas
and New Year's is always good box office.

722
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:21.320
People are going to go to the
movies, terrific. You know,

723
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:22.639
it's a chance, it's a chance
for people to go. I mean,

724
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:24.840
I used I used to love that. There were there were a couple of

725
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:29.480
friends that I had like that would
be a thing, like it was a

726
00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:30.840
time to kind of get caught up
on movies that we may have missed.

727
00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:35.199
I love it so much the end
there, Oh, it makes me so

728
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:37.159
happy. I was so glad we
could get that done before Christmas to get

729
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:38.960
a lot. Yeah, me too. That that was fun. That was

730
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:45.079
a lot of fun and cold Stone
Steve Austin continues, I don't know if

731
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.079
she did as much training and on
screen wrestling as Mickey work, but Florence

732
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:52.480
Pugh played page and fighting with my
family. Would she be eligible? If

733
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.360
so, you could do a feature
Barbenheimer run with her in Oppenheimer and Johnson

734
00:50:55.480 --> 00:51:00.559
and Barbie seen. It was also
the new animated team. That's true,

735
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:02.000
that's true. Now we got a
lot of John Johnson is doing a lot

736
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:06.840
of stuff. One of these days. I do want to see Actually I

737
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:13.440
do, Oh god, I do. I liked uh wrestling, wrestling with

738
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:15.559
my family, even my family.
Whatever the fun was. That was pretty

739
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:20.119
good. Actually, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's you know,

740
00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:23.599
I wanna I'm waiting for a good
time to do it. It's there,

741
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:27.920
of course and qualifies. Gee yeah, I mean it's one of the

742
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:31.559
easiest ones. Stephen Dame, thanks
very much for the pledge. We appreciate

743
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:36.480
the support. Man Adam writes TLF
in tough times. This message is a

744
00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:38.559
sincere thank you to TLF and the
lap solar system, for always being there

745
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:42.960
for those of us in need,
each laugh, each amazing deep dive,

746
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:46.039
the hours of research from both co
chairs, from cucks to carnies to gluttonous

747
00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:51.119
grapplers and everything in between. I've
said it before, I still don't know

748
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:54.400
how the fuck you do what you
do in in Oh Man, You're you're

749
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:58.239
coming strong though, You're you're blowing
my mind on cinemata every week. If

750
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:01.960
you folks, I'm telling you,
boss, he's learned well, Grasshopper,

751
00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:06.519
I can't. Yeah, I mean, it's just like I don't. I

752
00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:08.639
just don't understand how the fuck you
put it all together in that amount of

753
00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:15.360
time because I'm always I'm there.
You know, I certainly do have a

754
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:19.320
pattern of sorts. But you know
there's sometimes I mean, I guess here's

755
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:21.920
what it is. I don't know
how you do it and have you know

756
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:23.599
a day job life. Yeah,
that's what it is. Really well,

757
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:25.599
you know what it is. It's
like when I think about it, because

758
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:29.960
people ask me this often, it's
like, it's the reason I do the

759
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:35.119
podcast is because I have enough already
in my instincts, because I knew the

760
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.039
subject so well to begin with that
I don't have to ramp. Like if

761
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:39.519
I taught somebody how to do what
I do, they would never be able

762
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:43.800
to do it in a short period
of time because their mind wouldn't be as

763
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:45.679
full of the shortcuts to get to
the stuff. Yep. You know,

764
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:51.199
I was like absorbing all of the
kind of stuff that we touch on already

765
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:52.880
before we even had a podcast,
just so like, you know, who

766
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:58.360
said what when, where's the shoot
interview, where's the book? Where's the

767
00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:00.880
right? Which newspaper is most likely
to have covered it? What? You

768
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:06.679
know? What documentaries WW come out
with? When did the Observer cover this?

769
00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:09.840
Like these little things, And it's
like, can't discount the head start

770
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:15.159
that gives you when you can sit
there without looking up a single thing and

771
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:17.000
say this is almost definitely where it
is. You know, so many of

772
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:21.679
the wrestling books are chronological, you
know, which helps so much. Yeah,

773
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:23.519
totally, if you talked about it, it's probably especially this sort of

774
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:29.400
like this absolute explosion of wrestling books
in the past like twenty years or fifteen,

775
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:32.239
ten years really has been such a
wonderful thing because they just fucking lay

776
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:37.039
out the chronology of their whole life
and career, and it's so easy to

777
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:37.920
sort of jump in and be like, all right, if you said anything,

778
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:40.880
it's going to be here, and
wrestlers repeat themselves over and over again.

779
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.000
So it's not like, oh man, he did thirty interviews, there's

780
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:47.719
thirty versions of the story. No, there's probably just two, right if

781
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:54.519
only if that? Yeah? So
whatever? Truly okay, from Cux to

782
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:59.159
Carnies to Gluttonous Grapplers and everything in
between. Truly the best podcast around,

783
00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:02.800
like many others, and like only
half and like one hefty toe headed erstwhile

784
00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:07.079
great booker and shit booker. I've
fallen on hard times. Life has gone

785
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:09.440
full heel on me like Larry on
Bruno, like a triple H on HBK

786
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:13.800
and twenty oh two, like the
Horseman on Sting forty five thousand times.

787
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:17.119
First, I lost the love of
my life. I'm sorry, but you

788
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:22.079
know I don't wonder up again.
But the said Larry on Bruno. You

789
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:24.440
know, I know, I know
the reference, but I immediately thought of

790
00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:29.280
Larry David on Bruno. That was
the first thing you know on mine.

791
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:31.840
Oh man, that's he's on the
mind. Man. They did a wonderful

792
00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:37.679
time getting people dialed in. Did
you watch it? No yet. I'm

793
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:43.079
actually I'm actually watching. Uh.
I want to wait actually till they're all

794
00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:45.960
out. Okay, So I've been
watching. I've been watching everything, like

795
00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:52.800
all old episodes, and so I'm
like, seas he's the last one.

796
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:57.000
Yeah, he's the last one.
Man, It's uh. I've been watching

797
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.559
season by season, and so by
the time I get to the end of

798
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:05.159
season eleven, all of them will
be out and I'll be able to just

799
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:08.360
plow through them. Yeah, and
savor it and not you know, I

800
00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:15.440
want to Seinfeld Humor finally disappearing.
Yeah, yep, yep. So yes,

801
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:17.360
first, I lost the love of
my life. I'm sorry to hear

802
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:21.400
that, man. Yes, anyways, I lost my last family member,

803
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.199
and just today my oh fuck did
the Seattle screw job and kicked me out.

804
00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:28.760
But I remain with TLF in my
ears and just the right amount of

805
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:30.239
bitterness in my heart. I know
I will bounce back, much like Rickey

806
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:36.239
Steamboat whenever a sundowing George Scott is
within fifty miles. This goes out to

807
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:38.760
all the lovers of the nine decade
old podcast and it's loving ode to fictional

808
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:42.559
flipping and flopping. It will get
better for all of us. Hang in

809
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:45.480
there. I'll be seeing you guys
down the road when things are better for

810
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:50.079
us all and looking forward to another
decade of debauched food related wrestling shenanigans.

811
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:53.760
Adam PS. If you're reading this
and you're rich, good for you,

812
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:58.360
he says, support the cast,
love you, Adam, Good luck,

813
00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:02.159
pal. That was awesome, Ryan
James, thanks for the meaty and generous

814
00:56:02.199 --> 00:56:06.639
pledge he took up the cause.
R K. Thanks for increasing the amount

815
00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:08.960
that comes our way, Ryan writes, YouTube butt fuckers had to pledge because

816
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.840
I'm no bitch, that's right.
And the fact I listening to you guys

817
00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:15.559
for eight hours daily is that not
enough to justify throwing us some scratch?

818
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:20.800
I mean, what more do we
happen too? You know how many pitches

819
00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:24.280
of yours do we have to scratch? People? People don't understand when I've

820
00:56:24.360 --> 00:56:29.719
when I've said to them, you
know I've said that. How you know

821
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:32.760
when they ask about the podcast,
and you know, it goes from this

822
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:37.880
to this, and eventually it comes
down to you know, well, you

823
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:38.599
know, I do want to give
it a listen, and I'm always like,

824
00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:43.119
well, you know you read it, be ready for it, like

825
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:46.880
it's it's it's it's long, like
we you know long episodes, Well how

826
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:55.039
long long? Uh? We average
about six hours in episode? What it's

827
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:58.440
like, yeah, you know,
and it's weird, like you know,

828
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:02.960
we're we're we're a unique breed because
you know, our listeners get angry if

829
00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:07.400
it's less than four hours exactly.
I always say, the podcast is not

830
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:10.440
that long because we want it to
be. The podcast is that long because

831
00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:15.840
we don't have a choice, right, because we stop when we're done.

832
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:19.320
That's what's beautiful about it. It
is what it is. And I ain't

833
00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:22.719
listen. I'm not gonna fucking you
know, you don't want don't you edit

834
00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:24.000
it? Like, because I don't
want to, right? What do you

835
00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:27.159
mean edit it? I don't want
to fucking Are you kidding me? It's

836
00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:30.119
funny. Is this like a production
here? Done? This is a like

837
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:35.440
you want me to go back and
edit? Listen, someone's going under someone's

838
00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:37.679
gonna pay me, like on a
contractual basis if we're gonna be Yeah,

839
00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:42.559
Like I understand if someone wants to
go back and edit a two hour podcast

840
00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:45.960
down to like an hour ninety minutes, that boring. I decided that's boring.

841
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:49.320
Cut it but you want to,
like fucking you want me to cut

842
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:54.400
down a six hour show to ninety
minutes. The guts are gone, The

843
00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:58.360
guts are gots are gone. And
you know, I don't know how we

844
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:02.199
got ten years under our belt to
prove this. Someone's super One person finds

845
00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:07.760
boring is what someone else finds completely
indispensable. Yes, how do you score

846
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:10.360
goals? You take as many shots
as you can, right, And I'm

847
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:15.320
sorry that other podcasts don't have the
wherewithal or the ability to keep up with

848
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:19.519
that, or don't necessarily think it's
worthy. Good on them, you know,

849
00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:22.039
you know what it comes down to. You know what it comes down

850
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.320
to. And and I get to
say, just because I don't you got

851
00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:34.320
it hard. I I listen,
you know, because I listen to stuff

852
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:37.719
because when I'm looking, mainly it's
for cinemat. So when I'm looking for

853
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:43.079
stuff I look, I often look
to podcasts to see if so and so,

854
00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:45.559
if they've talked about a movie.
But I but I but I've learned.

855
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:51.880
I learned within the first like six
months of doing cinemat that a podcast

856
00:58:51.880 --> 00:59:00.960
talking about a movie isn't giving me
shit because nine and nine hence out of

857
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:06.480
the time, it's just two people
talking about how they feel about the movie.

858
00:59:06.599 --> 00:59:08.760
Yeah, which is nobody's actually done, which is fine, right,

859
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:15.079
But like, but I want to
know so limited, Yes, and I

860
00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:19.679
want to know how it was built, how was put together? If we're

861
00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:22.079
taking this much time, Like,
I don't understand, Like you have to.

862
00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:27.199
You owe it to yourself to say
something definitive, don't you. I

863
00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:30.199
mean that's to me, it's not
even worth hitting record unless you can bring

864
00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:32.679
work to the table. Yeah,
maybe I'm just like weird about it.

865
00:59:32.679 --> 00:59:37.519
I don't think I know, because
I mean I think we think of it

866
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:42.559
as it's it's it's more than that. I think I think there's there's truth

867
00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:45.840
that that. That's what I want
to I want to uncover. I don't

868
00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:51.119
want to just give my opinion.
I want to say, look, this

869
00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:54.880
is what happened, and this is
fucking crazy, or this is amazing,

870
00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:59.760
or look how brilliant this person is, or look how fucking crazy this person

871
00:59:59.840 --> 01:00:04.320
is, Look how dumb this person
was, Look how you know this is

872
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:08.719
why this person is is a legend
like that that's yeah, it's the passion

873
01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:13.480
for the material. It's not us
being in love with our idea of ourselves.

874
01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:15.599
Yeah, a lot of podcasts are
that way. It's kind of like,

875
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:20.400
you know, I'm interesting. It's
like, well, no, you

876
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:22.119
know, maybe what you have to
say about something is interesting, but the

877
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:27.280
something has to have some right rigor
to it. I mean, fortunately we

878
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:30.440
are interesting, so that works too. You got to talk this way,

879
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:34.119
folks. I don't know why people
don't get this like this, and no

880
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:37.639
one's going to give you your flowers
in life. Oh, you got to

881
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:39.440
give them to yourself. Self care. That's what we practice around Yeah,

882
01:00:39.519 --> 01:00:46.400
self care right, and self tearing
too. When it comes to drilling a

883
01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:52.400
new anus, Ryan says YouTube butt
fuckers had to pledge because I'm no bitch,

884
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:54.920
and the fact to listen to you
guys for eight hours daily. I

885
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:59.280
work a factory job forty hour weeks. Yes, and the great thing is

886
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:00.800
I get left alone and get to
have one earpiece, and so that ear

887
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:06.039
spends every shift getting penetrated by your
two venue members. I have so many

888
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:08.199
stories of work life, like the
time my boss was yelling at me for

889
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:12.039
some shit I'd done wrong, and
I was smiling because I could hear was

890
01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:19.079
JP doing the Ringmaster theme. God
to release at the mood that's great,

891
01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:21.800
What a great story. I'm obsessed
with those. By the way, I'm

892
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:24.639
obsessed with stories. If people who
are listening to us when they should be

893
01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:34.400
present, Oh man, it's a
deep cut. I forgot all about that

894
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:37.760
one or the time a girl from
work had to leave because of a serious

895
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:40.360
injury. But I had a smirk
on my face because you two were explaining

896
01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:45.559
a story about w CW referee Mickey
j in a hotel room with a prostitute

897
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:50.039
with one leg on the bed,
pulling his brick while crying about his ex

898
01:01:50.079 --> 01:02:00.559
wife. Oh, I'll tell you, there's nothing gives me great enjoying the

899
01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:07.519
idea of these fucking, fucking carnies
in a motel with a prostitute like it

900
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:14.239
just gives me absolute pleasure. Mickey
Jay didn't stand a chance that week,

901
01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:20.039
not a chance. We were going
to have our way until no one could

902
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:25.239
think of him in any other way
besides how we say if you're it's like,

903
01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:30.800
it's like what cousin Eddie says in
Christmas Vacation. He's gont been a

904
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:35.440
little bit at Mississippi leg Hound in
him. But between you and me,

905
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:40.800
it's just best to let him finish
gods right, so many more stories maybe

906
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:43.920
for another day. Keep up the
great work, gentlemen. You guys are

907
01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:45.639
fucking awesome. Thanks Ryan. I
mean, I couldn't be more thrilled to

908
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:50.840
hear that and can't wait to hear
more dispatches from the front. Ben Wrights

909
01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:53.400
just watched this movie for the first
time. Listening along, I think about

910
01:02:53.400 --> 01:02:57.519
the wrestler. Oh, I think
Rock really portrays that sort of above it.

911
01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:00.920
Let's just get the shit over with
air about some veterans well, with

912
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:04.400
the way he walks over matches,
talks over matches rather and comes down to

913
01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:06.880
the ring, like how he just
slides in without playing to the crowd.

914
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:10.719
That is true. He does get
that little chip on the shoulder thing down

915
01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:15.519
perfectly, Yes, Like he's a
sad, pathetic, sad sack and he

916
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:19.360
knows that, and he's he's just
as ready to wallow and self pity as

917
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:22.800
any broken down wrestler. That's why
guy in fucking two thousand and eight is

918
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:30.440
playing fucking Nintendo right, you know, right exactly, But he still gets

919
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:32.880
down that little bit of you know, cock of the walk body language where

920
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:38.440
when he's among other wrestlers, he's
still he's still able to carry this idea

921
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:42.239
that he's worth a lot more than
you're paying him, and he knows it.

922
01:03:42.519 --> 01:03:45.199
Yes, Tim l thanks very much
for the increased pledge. We appreciate

923
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:47.760
it. Looks like you were looking
for some cinemat content. Hope you enjoy

924
01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:52.920
it. Neil writes on further to
the wrestler, he says, something I'm

925
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:57.480
thinking about is Piper spinning the wrestler
into an uplifting story about what people like

926
01:03:57.559 --> 01:04:00.079
him give up for the fans.
To every normal person the movie, he

927
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:02.519
is a tragedy. But if you
are inside wrestling, you cannot confront the

928
01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:06.519
waste. Wasted lives, wasted families, wasted money, wasted bodies. It

929
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:15.199
had to have been for something right. He also writes, what makes Randy

930
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:16.599
such a unique character is you think
much less of him by the end of

931
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:20.039
the movie, ding ding ding ding
ding. Yes, Yes, that is

932
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:26.360
Darren Ronofsky's genius in this film,
in my opinion, is exactly that work

933
01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:29.000
plays Him is very charming and gracious
in the beginning, but as the movie

934
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:30.760
goes on and as you see wrestling
be taken away from him, he seeks

935
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:35.199
a very one sided kind of adulation
from his daughter a prospective girlfriend, people

936
01:04:35.239 --> 01:04:38.719
at work, et cetera. You
reach the conclusion at the end that this

937
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:43.800
is someone who isn't really interested in
reciprocating love in any meaningful way. It's

938
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:46.599
about what the world can give him, and all the doe eyed speeches and

939
01:04:46.880 --> 01:04:53.719
meaningful gestures are just a means to
an end. Let's fucking go, Yes,

940
01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:58.400
let's fucking go. That's so true. That's it. That's it in

941
01:04:58.400 --> 01:05:02.639
a fucking nutshell, that's the progress. That's the pro wrestler. They memorize

942
01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:10.679
the forms and the mannerisms of somebody
that appears to have a deep humanity and

943
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:16.519
is worthy of your sympathy or empathy. But that's just one tool in their

944
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:24.000
toolbox. Pal yep, and until
cold cash is slapped into their palm,

945
01:05:24.039 --> 01:05:28.239
nothing's real. Rich Molton, thank
you very much. We appreciate the pledge.

946
01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:32.480
Justin Hornicker, thanks for increasing the
amount of cake coming our way.

947
01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:38.519
Our very good friend Gordon out in
Long Island has written to us in regards

948
01:05:38.519 --> 01:05:43.800
to our rumble nine eighty eight slash
Bucking Stampede eighty eight January eighty eight.

949
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:48.400
Wars Arab shows that we did and
he's got some great perspective love. The

950
01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:53.880
January eighty eight shows got me reminiscing
about the good old days. I simply

951
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:58.840
remember the excitement around the Royal rumble
was off the charts, and the Hog

952
01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:03.239
and Andre contract sign was headline news
among friends in my second great classroom.

953
01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:09.679
Also, the timed battle royal concepts
seemed really intriguing to us, as we

954
01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:15.280
immediately began replicating it with our ljns. Here's the funny part. I lived

955
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:19.800
just twenty minutes away from the Nassau
Coliseum and it was like my second home

956
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:25.280
for w shows. I saw at
least a dozen cards there across eighty six

957
01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:30.239
and eighty seven. Now, the
NWA's bunk House Stampede was happening as stone's

958
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:36.760
throw away from my home, and
guess what what, I had no idea.

959
01:06:39.039 --> 01:06:43.360
The NWA was like a distant relative
I'd heard of but never really knew.

960
01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:47.480
I was aware of guys like Dusty
Flair and the Road Warriors primarily for

961
01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:54.039
magazines, but I'd occasionally see them
on TV. It just wasn't appointment viewing.

962
01:06:55.039 --> 01:06:58.880
And somehow they failed to hit me
with any marketing of this event,

963
01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.199
despite the fact that I was there. Target demographic I was a seven year

964
01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:08.360
old kid obsessed with wrestling who lived
the Stones Throwers away from the coliseum.

965
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:13.519
Everything about the NBA was second rate. I'd tape Clash of the Champion shows

966
01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:16.880
and keep up with them peripherally,
but I didn't really watch regularly until the

967
01:07:16.960 --> 01:07:21.920
early to mid nineties. Something I
found hilarious was when I later found out

968
01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:27.800
about the show. I thought that
the NWA was copying the WWE's bunk House

969
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:32.760
Battle Royal gimmick, well the other
way around, but I had seen it

970
01:07:33.840 --> 01:07:43.440
at the coliseum previous Excuse me leading
someone who observed a live in person WWF

971
01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:47.559
bunk House Battle Royal pre rumble leaping
Lanny in his dumbass suit of armor and

972
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:53.079
all that shit. Little did I
know that Vince was stealing an NWA gimmick

973
01:07:53.119 --> 01:07:56.039
and basically making fun of that.
But not stealing is the wrong word.

974
01:07:56.119 --> 01:08:00.079
Lampooning would be more right, right
right at any rate ausome shows, I

975
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:06.960
particularly enjoyed laps, Bob Coddle,
Why did you say what? I particularly

976
01:08:08.039 --> 01:08:14.519
enjoyed lapse? Bob Coddle promoting the
WWE's NBC show off the WA paper few.

977
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:19.840
He's confused, I don't know what, they'll give him just a hard

978
01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:24.960
time about that. Oh my god, I've forgot about that. Well,

979
01:08:25.039 --> 01:08:30.159
Jim Tony WWF is on tonight,
and well, Jim, I'll tell you

980
01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:35.920
on free TV the WWE is putting
on a royal rumble, way better competitors

981
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:40.560
than we have here on pay per
view. You just paid for. He

982
01:08:40.680 --> 01:08:44.960
just paid for. But I suggest
you turn over to USA. Oh my

983
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:48.960
god, Bob, you know we're
not going to fire you, but can

984
01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:54.800
you not do that anymore? Scott
Gallagher, thanks for the increased pledge.

985
01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:58.760
Right, I can guarantee you right
now, Jim, I was not bought

986
01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:02.880
out by Vince McMahon. Well,
thank god for that. I'm so glad

987
01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:05.800
you addressed it before i had to
ask you the uncomfortable question. With that,

988
01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:12.520
onward onward, Bob Caddle, Yes
again, Ryan Old Cogan, honor

989
01:09:12.600 --> 01:09:16.039
the giant, such a long time
supporter, and we appreciate the recent bump

990
01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:19.239
up in confidence. I keep up
the great work, Ryan, Timothy Lee,

991
01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:23.920
Danny d thank you very much for
your pledges to us on Patreon.

992
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:27.359
The money we'll go to good use. Jeff writes on The Wrestler Again,

993
01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:29.960
Man under the cinemat you gotta find
this thing if you didn't listen to it.

994
01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:32.159
Jesus, I finally finished this today
and want to say that this is

995
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:36.479
probably the best podcast ever made any
genre. Oh Jesus Christ, I don't

996
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:40.119
remember this email at all. It's
the perfect movie for the cast, and

997
01:09:40.199 --> 01:09:43.760
JP did a wonderful job of research
and presenting everything that makes this a classic

998
01:09:43.800 --> 01:09:45.119
movie. I don't know if Mickey
Orke is still doing okay or not,

999
01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:47.600
but I hope he is, and
the way you presented his story is so

1000
01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:51.319
well done. Bravo, gentlemen here
worth every penny. Do you think it's

1001
01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:58.399
going to end well for Mickey Rourke? Ultimately, this is a renaissance that's

1002
01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:01.319
now like twenty years old. Almost. Yeah. I mean, I don't

1003
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:03.800
know if he's see I don't know
if it's bad. I mean, he

1004
01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:11.199
certainly has had some good shit,
but in terms of I mean, I

1005
01:10:11.199 --> 01:10:13.640
don't know what his last movie was, for God's sake, but I think

1006
01:10:13.680 --> 01:10:16.279
it was the the Sin City remake. Maybe that's a that's a while ago

1007
01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:19.720
too. That is like the yeah, fact we don't know says a lot.

1008
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:24.039
Yeah, Like I mean, he's
done. I'm looking at him right

1009
01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:26.800
now and I mean, just he's
back to doing a bunch of shit that

1010
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:31.560
I've never heard of. Yeah,
you know, like, yeah, I

1011
01:10:31.640 --> 01:10:34.760
don't know. I mean, is
it going to go. I think he's

1012
01:10:34.840 --> 01:10:38.279
fine. I don't know if it's
going to be like the tragic end that

1013
01:10:38.439 --> 01:10:44.800
we may have we might have seen
earlier on. But in terms of like

1014
01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:48.479
is he going to get back,
I mean, you know, I guess,

1015
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:51.000
yeah, I guess since the city
had deigned to kill for it is

1016
01:10:51.119 --> 01:10:55.399
ten years old, that's the last
thing I remember him. But he's done

1017
01:10:55.439 --> 01:10:58.680
a bunch I mean he works again. He works every year. I don't

1018
01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:02.600
know how much money he's making.
Uh. Oh, he was in the

1019
01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:08.800
Rowan Polanski movie for fox Sake the
Palace last year, and they get better,

1020
01:11:08.960 --> 01:11:11.720
you know. I so, dude, there's similar. There's so many

1021
01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:16.000
movies out in these days. There
are so many fucking movies out And I

1022
01:11:16.279 --> 01:11:19.840
think I've said this before. It's
it's it's it's one of the things that

1023
01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:26.840
I always hope. I always think
I know the movies that are gonna be

1024
01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:30.760
uh, that are gonna get that
where I'm gonna get screeners for the SAG

1025
01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:34.880
Awards, Like I always think I
know the movies that are that I'm gonna

1026
01:11:34.920 --> 01:11:41.079
get, and then I get none
of them, and it's a bunch of

1027
01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:45.479
fucking movies that I've never even heard
of and could care less about. Wow,

1028
01:11:46.239 --> 01:11:54.199
And it's so frustrating because that's that's
kind of the world. I mean,

1029
01:11:54.399 --> 01:11:58.760
talk about it used to be better. I mean, I'll say movies

1030
01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:04.000
used to be better. Yeah,
I'm not saying that that that that movies

1031
01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:09.439
that that there aren't great movies.
Now there certainly are. But in terms

1032
01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:15.239
of like you you don't know about
the good ones, or you don't hear

1033
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:19.920
about movies or or or there are
so many movies that are being made that

1034
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:27.399
it's like it just oversaturates the output
of it all, and it's like,

1035
01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:34.199
I can't I used what I used
to love about. It's why I don't

1036
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:39.560
really give a shit about awards anymore. I used to love awards. Oh

1037
01:12:39.640 --> 01:12:42.680
my god, I used to write
these wonderful Yeah I remember, yes,

1038
01:12:43.439 --> 01:12:45.800
who who will win? Who should
win? Great synopsies of all the films

1039
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:50.840
that were up for consideration. I
used to love being like because you I

1040
01:12:51.479 --> 01:12:57.000
would always have a movie to root
for, because like, the movies that

1041
01:12:57.079 --> 01:13:01.680
were being nominated were were like everyone
knew about them. And I'm not saying

1042
01:13:01.680 --> 01:13:05.159
that these movies that aren't good that
that get that win and get nominated.

1043
01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:10.520
But what's frustrating is that more often
than not, it's movies that I don't

1044
01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:14.960
fucking ever even hear about. And
that's the shame too, in that these

1045
01:13:14.960 --> 01:13:19.720
great movies are being ignored. But
I'm also like, you know, that's

1046
01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:23.960
what the Independent Spirit Awards are about, you know, fucking let them have

1047
01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:26.840
that, don't give them yeah something
he said for that, you know,

1048
01:13:26.920 --> 01:13:30.680
Like, I don't think it necessarily
makes sense that movies on an independent budget

1049
01:13:31.159 --> 01:13:38.000
should compete with big studio movies for
awards. I've always been against that.

1050
01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:43.159
I've always I've always been against against
network shows. Yeah, seriously, it's

1051
01:13:43.199 --> 01:13:45.640
true, Like they should have their
own sense of Emmys, and for god's

1052
01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:51.920
sake, they got their fucking goddamn
idiotic local Emmy Awards for every other fucking

1053
01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:56.600
exactly mom and pop. Like,
you know, you should have your your

1054
01:13:56.640 --> 01:14:01.520
your your h whatever you call it, what premium cable Emmys and then your

1055
01:14:01.560 --> 01:14:04.720
fucking bar let's do it weight classes, you know, based on a budget.

1056
01:14:05.199 --> 01:14:10.199
Yeah, right, Best movie five
hundred thousand or less best movie.

1057
01:14:10.199 --> 01:14:12.760
You know what I mean, Yep, let's do it. I'm not I'm

1058
01:14:12.760 --> 01:14:15.960
not afraid of it. Why are
you afraid of it? I'm by all

1059
01:14:15.960 --> 01:14:21.359
that. I don't mean you part
for it. Fucking fuck Christ then people

1060
01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:26.079
would then people would ca fave their
budgets, right of course, of course,

1061
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:29.600
want to watch play out? Oh
my god. Speaking of a Bob

1062
01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:31.880
Coddle, Bez makes a point we
always failed in that reference when Bob Caddle

1063
01:14:31.880 --> 01:14:35.319
comes up, which is important.
It should be noted that Bob Caddle was

1064
01:14:35.439 --> 01:14:40.159
very close with one of the most
racist politicians new US history, Jesse Helms.

1065
01:14:40.399 --> 01:14:43.439
Oh yes, Coddle was Helms's legs
lave assistant and worked on his nineteen

1066
01:14:43.479 --> 01:14:45.840
seventy two Senate campaign. I don't
think it's far fetched to suggest that old

1067
01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:50.479
Bob is likely a bigoted motherfucker.
Oh I'm sure he is. You kidding

1068
01:14:50.520 --> 01:14:56.920
me? Behind that innocent uh oh
you know visage that that that good old

1069
01:14:56.920 --> 01:15:00.640
papa face, you know. Can
you imagine him like going in a rage

1070
01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:03.479
like order, if like the fire
hoses to be used to get orders,

1071
01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:09.039
being comfortable with it, thinking that
we have to crack down, like if

1072
01:15:09.079 --> 01:15:12.479
he if he had a daughter.
You know, oh she had like he

1073
01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:16.319
style, Yeah, which she had
like a fucking you know, a boyfriend

1074
01:15:16.399 --> 01:15:18.439
or a girlfriend of color. I
mean god, we can imagine if you

1075
01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:23.239
had a girlfriend a girlfriend, let
alone a girlfriend of color. Fuck.

1076
01:15:23.439 --> 01:15:31.600

dating Mike Tyson, Damien Thorn, thanks

Thank you. Andy Yellinich, longtime
supporter, recently coming in strong.

1087
01:16:11.840 --> 01:16:16.720
We love to see this sustained support. It's such a satisfying counterpoint to anybody

1088
01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:20.439
whoever suggests that podcasts are not worth
paying for. Well, I got a

1089
01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:26.239
whole lot of people here who disagree. You tell me what gives Logan writes,

1090
01:16:26.239 --> 01:16:29.479
Do you think Greg ganya ever walks
around the park where his dad's house

1091
01:16:29.600 --> 01:16:34.239
used to be in Reminiscence? Absolutely, I think it's been totally taken and

1092
01:16:34.279 --> 01:16:39.399
it's subdivided now. I don't even
think it's walkable. But I imagine,

1093
01:16:39.479 --> 01:16:43.439
well, I imagine that he walks
in the neighborhood and like every Sunday,

1094
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:45.640
I think, like, yeah,
every Sunday. Yeah, yeah, he

1095
01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:51.239
drives over there and he and and
looks at the at what he thought he

1096
01:16:51.399 --> 01:17:00.960
was going to inherit wo wow,
sorry Pale the greater Good. It was

1097
01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:05.319
more important York Sammy Conduit, Big
Dick Pledge. We love it. Thank

1098
01:17:05.319 --> 01:17:08.760
you so much, Dominant, thanks
very much for the cake s. You

1099
01:17:08.800 --> 01:17:17.640
think if you think if vern had
had like maintained a successful promotion that they

1100
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:24.319
they they wouldn't have done that.
I don't. I don't know, I

1101
01:17:24.359 --> 01:17:26.399
don't. I don't know if that
had much to do with it, Like

1102
01:17:26.439 --> 01:17:29.800
if he ever remained a person of
note in yeah, they would SI would

1103
01:17:29.800 --> 01:17:32.039
have taken it. Really, he
might have been more effective in terms of

1104
01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:36.279
having the resources to hire lawyers to
fight it them domain taking. But yeah,

1105
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:41.199
usually that's just you know, some
political prerogative takes over and yes,

1106
01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:44.439
and it's just like they have to
see it through. It's right. Can't

1107
01:17:44.439 --> 01:17:47.680
stand in the way. R K
thank you for the pledge. Joseph Nubauer,

your way into our hearts. Corey Liptak,

increase in pledge. Ohen Taylor writes

We appreciate the pledge. John Callahill, thank you so very much for

your support on Patreon, Luke writes
the audience, this is breckt in quotes.

1120
01:18:43.800 --> 01:18:48.000
Predicting, he says, twenty twenty
three wrestling, the audience is required

1121
01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:57.359
to engage critically with the performance rather
than becoming emotionally absorbed. Yes, yes,

1122
01:18:58.439 --> 01:19:02.279
and that, my friend, is
the problem. Mm hm. Chris

the support on Patreon, he writes Coach

Chares, this is Chris from Tom's
River, New Jersey. To jog your

1125
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:13.199
memory. You two played my acoustic
rendition of your theme song to open your

1126
01:19:13.239 --> 01:19:17.319
twenty seventeen Christmas special, which was
the honor of a lifetime. Anyway,

1127
01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:20.119
a few years ago I lost interest
in wrestling and had some financial woes which

1128
01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:26.359
necessitated the cessation of my Patreon membership. Now I am back. The memories

1129
01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:29.119
of your show pulled me back in
like a magnet. I'm back to the

1130
01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:30.920
ten dollar a month membership. I
missed a lot, so I can't wait

1131
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:33.560
to get back to listen to everything. Thanks for all you do, Jack

1132
01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:35.680
and JP. Love to see that, love to see people. Yep,

1133
01:19:36.119 --> 01:19:40.199
yep, Like you said earlier,
they come back around. That's right.

1134

Andrew Bernhack and Rich m Moulton all

1139
01:20:05.159 --> 01:20:12.479
Ryan has this to say ahead of
the TLFX. He writes in the subject

1140
01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:20.399
line, Sean teaches Vince how to
be cool? Oh my God. As

1141
01:20:20.479 --> 01:20:25.920
Lapstack's approaches, I've felt compelled to
sort of honor you, most importantly with

1142
01:20:26.039 --> 01:20:29.520
my Patreon dollar, but also by
sharing with you my favorite moments from that

1143
01:20:29.680 --> 01:20:33.279
cast. My favorite journey ever is
Montreal. I've listened to the entire journey

1144
01:20:33.319 --> 01:20:39.239
several times over and will listen to
it several more times. I was able

1145
01:20:39.239 --> 01:20:43.359
to obtain backstage audio of Vince asking
Sean Michaels to teach him how to be

1146
01:20:43.479 --> 01:20:48.199
cool. I transcribed it and is
included at the end of his email.

1147
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:53.720
You guys got me through the worst
period of my life. Last year.

1148
01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:59.239
My mom passed away rather suddenly from
a violent end stage cancer. Apologies man,

1149
01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:05.439
sympathies. That's that is uh,
I can't even I can't. I

1150
01:21:05.479 --> 01:21:09.479
did not leave her hospital room for
the last week of her life except to

1151
01:21:09.479 --> 01:21:13.039
get food, and your podcast was
the only way I could even remotely relax,

1152
01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:16.079
relax and lessen my tears so I
could portray strength from my mom and

1153
01:21:16.119 --> 01:21:19.560
my sister's. Yes. Yes,
I'm forever indebted to both of you for

1154
01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:24.039
helping me during that time and the
difficult year that has followed. I hope

1155
01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:28.439
this transcription makes you laugh like it
did for me. They likely will.

1156
01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:32.199
I just had to to Oh god, okay, I think it was definitely

1157
01:21:32.239 --> 01:21:38.279
your calling here. Oh my god, we think got me other it is.

1158
01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:51.119
Oh my god, you're gonna be
Sean. Uh yeah, sure,

1159
01:21:51.159 --> 01:21:54.279
let me please, you gotta be
se I need to be Sean. I

1160
01:21:54.319 --> 01:22:01.640
can't do Sean as well as you
can. John. I've been thinking,

1161
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:06.520
you know, about this whole entertainment
thing, and well, I've come to

1162
01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:12.119
the realization that I need a bit
of help, a touch of finesse if

1163
01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:17.079
you will. You want to learn
to dance, Vince, Well, not

1164
01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:25.000
just dance, Sean, I want
to be cool. I've watched you over

1165
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:28.560
the years, and you've got that
charisma, that that swagger. I need

1166
01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:34.640
some of that Sean Michael's magic.
You bet you've been in the business for

1167
01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:40.039
decades, Vincy, you practically built. It's got your wanting to dance and

1168
01:22:40.039 --> 01:22:44.960
be cool. Now, Jack,
let's be clear. You know we're not

1169
01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:48.159
in the wrestling business anymore. It's
all about entertainment. That and notwithstanding,

1170
01:22:48.239 --> 01:22:53.399
I feel the need to connect with
the audience on a different level. Dancing,

1171
01:22:53.640 --> 01:22:55.960
being cool, it's all part of
the show. You see, I

1172
01:22:55.960 --> 01:22:57.840
get it. Vince. So you
want me to teach you how to dance

1173
01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:02.359
and be cool? Yes, exactly. You're the heartbreak kid, the showstopper.

1174
01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:08.600
You've got that magnetism. Teach me
your secret, Shawn. All right,

1175
01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:11.720
Vince, let's start with some basic
dance moves. Have you ever done

1176
01:23:11.760 --> 01:23:16.479
the moonwalk? Like this? Close? But ah, got some work to

1177
01:23:16.479 --> 01:23:18.840
do, my friend. Okay.
Moreover, it's it's not just about the

1178
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:23.079
moves. It's it's about the attitude, the confidence. You've got to own

1179
01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:26.880
the stage. I can do the
show and when I'm out there, remember

1180
01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:30.239
it's not wrestling, it's pure entertainment. You got a Vince, We'll turn

1181
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:36.439
you in the coolest entertainment mogul in
no time. That's to luck Ryan.

1182
01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:42.520
We appreciate that. It's a fucking
great laps GPT style. That was a

1183
01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:45.760
fucking little Christmas treat for people.
Oh yeah, son fun. It's put

O Murchu, all these folks, hearty,

1188
01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:18.760
thank you for your support on Patreon. Mike asks the question, I'll

1189
01:24:18.760 --> 01:24:24.000
give this one to you. I
think it's to bret up your wheelhouse subject

1190
01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:29.560
line who should play? We've talked
about this before, Vince McMahon. Oh,

1191
01:24:29.880 --> 01:24:33.399
especially in light of recent developments as
lapsex approaches, I felt compelled to

1192
01:24:33.399 --> 01:24:36.399
sort of honor you, most importantly
with my Patreon dollar, but also by

1193
01:24:36.399 --> 01:24:40.840
sharing with you my favorite moments from
that cast. My favorite Wait a minute,

1194
01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:45.000
I read this one. Journey is
mont No, wait a minute,

1195
01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:46.520
I read that one right. Wait
a minute, no, no, yes,

1196
01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:49.840
hello chairman. Sorry, I was
having a discussion with my friends about

1197
01:24:49.840 --> 01:24:54.359
who should play Vince McMahon a movie
or mini series. I'd like a lapse

1198
01:24:54.479 --> 01:24:59.680
ruling to on some names that came
up that I thought were good or interesting.

1199
01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:04.039
Michael Shannon, Uh, do we
want to go through these now?

1200
01:25:06.039 --> 01:25:13.640
Michael Shannon, Josh Brolin, Brian
Cranston, Joe Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy,

1201
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:16.880
Jon hamm Alec Baldwin. Some names
were that were suggested that I just

1202
01:25:17.279 --> 01:25:21.239
don't see being very good. I'd
like to get elapsed ruling when you guys

1203
01:25:21.760 --> 01:25:26.119
with you guys on these as well. Nicholas Cage, Robert Downey Junior,

1204
01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:29.880
Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Michael
Keaton. Thanks for all that you do

1205
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:34.000
and I'm looking forward to future episodes. Oh yeah, for sure, if

1206
01:25:34.039 --> 01:25:41.479
you ever what I'll never forget what
won me over with it is his performance

1207
01:25:41.640 --> 01:25:47.800
in Hail Caesar, the uh the
the Cohen Brothers movie, and at one

1208
01:25:47.840 --> 01:25:54.399
point he just slaps George Clooney and
I'm like, oh shit, this is

1209
01:25:54.479 --> 01:25:59.560
Vince McMahan. This is it.
I think Josh Brolin is the best choice

1210
01:25:59.600 --> 01:26:02.359
to play Vince McMahon, hands down. I think he would I think he

1211
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:11.399
would fucking nail it. Michael Keaton, I feel like, and I love

1212
01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:15.399
Michael Keaton. I think Michael Keaton
is so great. I just don't know

1213
01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:25.119
if he's got that there's something about
him. Yeah, he's like a little

1214
01:26:25.119 --> 01:26:32.319
too quirky. I feel like to
be to be vincmick Man, I mean,

1215
01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:39.720
I I I imagine, I mean, I'm sure I can't picture it

1216
01:26:39.720 --> 01:26:43.000
in my head, but I'm sure
that Robert down and Junior can do it

1217
01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:48.560
because he's just so fucking brilliant and
he can he can metamorphoise into anything.

1218
01:26:48.680 --> 01:26:55.159
Yeah, but my personal favorite would
be Josh Brolin hands down, out of

1219
01:26:55.159 --> 01:26:59.840
all them. I don't like Brian
Cranison, I don't I don't know,

1220
01:27:00.520 --> 01:27:03.279
I don't know, I don't I
don't see it. Josh Brolin would be

1221
01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:08.640
fucking perfect. Yep. Yeah,
there's the answer, folks. In we

1222
01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:12.359
we've we've gone through this before and
that's that's that's the verdict right there from

1223
01:27:12.359 --> 01:27:15.079
the camp Shares, I think that's
absolutely the best call. Let me look

1224
01:27:15.079 --> 01:27:18.800
at his face just to be sure. In what role as what do you

1225
01:27:19.000 --> 01:27:28.079
oh in uh uh Hail Caesar in
the movie Hail Caesar. He just he's

1226
01:27:28.119 --> 01:27:33.000
just perfect in that and Yeah,
yeah, that's him. That's absolut dude

1227
01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:38.520
with the mustache too. Now yeah, exactly right. Oh my perfect at

1228
01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:44.319
them pell fucking perfect. Oh they'll
make it in our lifetimes. That movie

1229
01:27:44.399 --> 01:27:48.239
is gonna come out, and it's
gonna be so probably after he dies dies,

1230
01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:54.319
which seems like it might be sooner
than later. Well, you talk

1231
01:27:54.359 --> 01:27:57.159
on episodes about how we were kids, there was people saying w c W

1232
01:27:57.359 --> 01:27:59.800
was real and w w F was
fake. Remember this, Yes, yes,

1233
01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:02.439
totally British stew Dog and Patreon lets
us know can confirm the debate of

1234
01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:06.199
WCW being real and WWF is fake. Made it to the school playgrounds of

1235
01:28:06.239 --> 01:28:11.079
Liverpool, England. Yes, I
think he writes it was because of the

1236
01:28:11.119 --> 01:28:15.600
Flair blade jobs. Of course that
would makes sense, Daniel writes, in

1237
01:28:15.680 --> 01:28:17.159
my local toy shop as a kid, also from the UK, the ww

1238
01:28:17.239 --> 01:28:20.960
figures were a pound cheaper than the
WWF ones. It was either two nine

1239
01:28:21.039 --> 01:28:24.520
and three ninety nine or three ninety
nine and four ninety nine, So I

1240
01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:26.720
had to stock up in the globes
as that was the best way to make

1241
01:28:26.760 --> 01:28:30.399
my pocket money go further. So
that's probably why so many people had Dad

1242
01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:32.000
galubs. Oh he likes wrestling,
I'll buy the cheaper of the two I

1243
01:28:32.039 --> 01:28:34.920
love, Yeah, exactly. Oh
shit, I'm gonna buy these two ninety

1244
01:28:35.000 --> 01:28:39.119
nine fucking things. Do you remember
galubs being cheaper than hasbros? Uh?

1245
01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:42.720
Maybe like buy like a dollar,
yeah or something like that. It's funny.

1246
01:28:42.720 --> 01:28:46.560
I don't think my I don't think
anybody ever bought me galubs. I

1247
01:28:46.600 --> 01:28:50.159
think I bought them myself. I
bought them for my definitely bought for me

1248
01:28:50.199 --> 01:28:55.279
because I was like, what are
these now? I never I never bought

1249
01:28:55.279 --> 01:29:00.000
I never, they were never bought
for me. I definitely was like because

1250
01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:08.079
because so many of them at the
time were in WWEE that I was like,

1251
01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:11.199
oh shit, this is like the
roster that I can't fucking find.

1252
01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:15.920
Sure. You know amazing, man, those gallub figures. What a fucking

1253
01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:18.039
time to be a live, right, I fucking I mean speaking a price

1254
01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:21.319
choice. One time I tried to
take the tag off a cheaper one and

1255
01:29:21.319 --> 01:29:25.960
put it on a more expensive one
to see if at I'd get the cheaper

1256
01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:30.079
price. Uh. No one told
me about barcodes, so oh they did,

1257
01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:33.479
Sam. That kind of sucked,
Adam. One of my favorite WW

1258
01:29:33.479 --> 01:29:38.079
moments is right after Doom breaks up, speaking of globs. Right after Doom

1259
01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:40.800
breaks up, they interview some young
black child in the crowd and ask him

1260
01:29:40.800 --> 01:29:45.399
his favorite wrestlers Doom, He says
in a dejected tone. Wow, just

1261
01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:48.359
broken up. A microcosm and future
glimpse of how wrestling and especially life will

1262
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:51.199
always be disappointing in the end.
This is why it's one of the best

1263
01:29:51.199 --> 01:29:55.640
moments in the history of bullshit buffoonery. It's a good thing to hone in

1264
01:29:55.680 --> 01:29:59.039
on right there, Yeah, William
Wright's unsmoking. I was at the Brian

1265
01:29:59.079 --> 01:30:02.239
Pillman Memorial Shit in nineteen ninety nine. They held silent auctions for wrestler donated

1266
01:30:02.239 --> 01:30:05.119
items in Rick flare m Seed,
where he would invite the two highest bidders

1267
01:30:05.119 --> 01:30:09.039
to the ring for a final auction. There were some pretty high end items,

1268
01:30:09.039 --> 01:30:11.680
like a ring worn Flair robe.
I was a poor college student,

1269
01:30:11.760 --> 01:30:13.960
so I had a bit only on
one thing. I thought I had a

1270
01:30:14.000 --> 01:30:16.279
chance at an autographed Al snow head. I was still surprised when I got

1271
01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:18.880
called into the ring. I was
standing there in the ring with the other

1272
01:30:18.920 --> 01:30:21.960
bidd Al snow and Rick Flair,
but back and forth got to one hundred

1273
01:30:21.960 --> 01:30:25.479
fifty dollars and the other guy jumped
to two hundred dollars. Sanity hit me

1274
01:30:25.880 --> 01:30:28.800
and I realized that I didn't want
a mannequin head that badly and bout out.

1275
01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:30.319
I returned to my seat with my
friends, who screamed at me for

1276
01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:33.199
not going higher. I was coming
down from the adrenaline rush from the auction,

1277
01:30:33.239 --> 01:30:35.159
and since it was nineteen ninety nine, I went to find a play

1278
01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:39.880
somewhere in the small arena to pound
a cigarette. I should say that security

1279
01:30:39.920 --> 01:30:42.600
was non existent, and I somehow
found my way to a loading dock with

1280
01:30:42.640 --> 01:30:45.199
a door open. As I'm staring
out the bay door having my smoke,

1281
01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:48.239
I hear a door open behind me
and Nancy Penoah walks over. WHOA,

1282
01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:51.119
and I think I'm going to get
thrown out of the building, but she

1283
01:30:51.159 --> 01:30:55.840
comes up and asks me for a
cigarette. I give her one and she

1284
01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:58.840
makes a little small talk. I
only knew her from WCW at the time,

1285
01:30:58.880 --> 01:31:00.640
but I told her that I was
a fan of her and Chris,

1286
01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:02.159
but not wanting to be a total
douche, I mostly left her alone.

1287
01:31:02.319 --> 01:31:05.079
She finished her smoke and said wait
here. She went back in the door.

1288
01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:10.399
She came back from and came back
shortly with the murderer. She brought

1289
01:31:10.399 --> 01:31:13.560
a home. She said, My
wife said, you're a fan. I

1290
01:31:13.560 --> 01:31:15.800
said I was, and that he
was one of the best parts of WCW.

1291
01:31:15.880 --> 01:31:17.439
I'm about six feet tall and I
had easily four to six inches on

1292
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:20.399
him, but his fucking torso was
over twice as wide as mine. And

1293
01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:27.279
of course he was being nice to
me, but he was still terrifying.

1294
01:31:27.720 --> 01:31:30.840
That's right. Thanks for the dispatch, will Oh, that's what we're looking

1295
01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:35.960
for. Ah, those moments that
only a lapsed fan can appreciate the gravity

1296
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:46.600
of. Chris writes the Book of
JR. Oh Boy Chairman. I will

1297
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:50.760
probably need to build this theory up
into a more fully developed piece. However,

1298
01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:54.720
I am out of time today.
And the brief discussion about Jim Ross

1299
01:31:54.760 --> 01:31:58.479
I heard at the start of the
Revolution twenty twenty Deep Dive brought a comparison

1300
01:31:58.520 --> 01:32:03.039
between JR. And the Book of
Job from the Bible. Job quote was

1301
01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:09.560
blameless and upright. He feared God
and shunned evil. God let Satan test

1302
01:32:09.680 --> 01:32:14.680
Job to see if Job would deny
God by taking everything from him. The

1303
01:32:14.720 --> 01:32:19.880
devil did everything he could to Job
get Job never cursed or denied God what

1304
01:32:19.960 --> 01:32:24.680
was happening to him now? JR, by his own admission, is not

1305
01:32:24.720 --> 01:32:29.600
blameless, but is mostly upright and
has mostly shunned evil as much as one

1306
01:32:29.640 --> 01:32:38.560
canon wrestling here is was JR.
Here, here is what, here is

1307
01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:42.680
what JR. Has been tested with
the top of my head. Some of

1308
01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:45.079
these may be out of order,
and apologies for the block of text here.

1309
01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:49.600
Jr. Has had two divorces,
sold his house in Texts at a

1310
01:32:49.640 --> 01:32:55.199
huge loss after JCP was sold to
Turner after about six months, lost his

1311
01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:59.560
job when Eric Bischoff took over WSW, was hired by Vince. Probably still

1312
01:32:59.560 --> 01:33:03.680
has some appliances in storage in Atlanta. Fired by Vince, brought back by

1313
01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:08.479
Vince. Made to move to Connecticut, fired by Vince, brought back by

1314
01:33:08.560 --> 01:33:12.479
Vince. Lost his health, had
he give up his job with the Atlanta

1315
01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:16.319
Falcons that he really enjoyed, had
a disastrous heel turn, watched his best

1316
01:33:16.319 --> 01:33:20.199
friend get beat up for real by
Bart Gunn and brawl for all, lost

1317
01:33:20.239 --> 01:33:25.079
his mama, had an attack of
Bell's palsy during a pay per view,

1318
01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:30.119
backstabbed by Johnny as out of his
talent relations job. Traded a SmackDown on

1319
01:33:30.199 --> 01:33:33.159
live television without knowing it, made
to train his replacement without knowing it,

1320
01:33:33.279 --> 01:33:39.279
replaced by the guy he was training, brought back again when the new guy

1321
01:33:39.319 --> 01:33:43.560
didn't work out. Humiliated every time
the company went to Oklahoma, including an

1322
01:33:43.640 --> 01:33:48.920
ugly blade job to help sell Austin's
heel turn after Main's seventeen, Constantly berated

1323
01:33:48.960 --> 01:33:54.000
by Vince and Kevin Dunn, made
fun of, almost made fun of almost

1324
01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:58.680
everyone in Vince's inner circle, probably
a bye right made fun of by almost

1325
01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:02.159
everyone in Vince's innercer. Had his
boss make fun of his colon surgery in

1326
01:34:02.640 --> 01:34:06.800
a segment on live television, had
his boss specifically tell Jr. And his

1327
01:34:06.880 --> 01:34:13.319
wife to make sure to watch that
segment live. Ease to the sideline.

1328
01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:15.680
His wife and the love of his
life is killed in an accident just before

1329
01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:19.479
he has scheduled to work Mania thirty
three, signed to a deal but never

1330
01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:25.000
used by Vince, losing his health
again and just moved to the B and

1331
01:34:25.079 --> 01:34:30.840
C shows with a e W.
All of this, Jr. Has never

1332
01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:36.319
denied wrestling or even the people in
wrestling who have done this to him.

1333
01:34:36.840 --> 01:34:42.000
A quick refresher from eight years of
Catholic school and a quick Google search reminds

1334
01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:45.760
me of that Job learned the hard
lesson that when everything is tripped away from

1335
01:34:45.800 --> 01:34:55.439
our lives, all we have is
God. Wow, and God is enough.

1336
01:34:56.159 --> 01:35:00.680
No matter how bad life gets,
God's love and his grace are enough.

1337
01:35:00.439 --> 01:35:08.119
Can that be translated into JR learned
the hard lesson that when everything is

1338
01:35:08.159 --> 01:35:18.439
stripped away from our lives, all
we have is wrestling, and rolling is

1339
01:35:18.600 --> 01:35:28.760
enough. No matter how bad life
gets, Wrestling's love and its grace are

1340
01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:33.279
enough. In closing, JR so
beloved because he is one of us.

1341
01:35:35.279 --> 01:35:39.720
Think of all the tragedy, criminal
behavior, stupid segments, and times we

1342
01:35:39.800 --> 01:35:44.159
have been made the butt of the
joke by the people running the quote sport

1343
01:35:44.279 --> 01:35:54.760
we love, yet we are still
here. That's correct. We us are

1344
01:35:54.920 --> 01:36:15.640
all Job, we are all JR. Just something to think about thoughts.

1345
01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:24.760
There's absolutely right. I feel like
I'm doing the job. Yes, heavy

1346
01:36:24.800 --> 01:36:30.079
stuff there, pal yep. From
Our aw Revolution twenty twenty episode David writes

1347
01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:39.119
triumphant tragedy over Niagara Falls and an
MSG lapsed journey. Greetings co chairs,

1348
01:36:39.640 --> 01:36:42.720
longtime listener with two accounts, I
thought you might enjoy. Sorry for length,

1349
01:36:43.319 --> 01:36:45.239
My family and I recently took a
trip to Niagara Falls. As is

1350
01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:47.800
my usual routine, I endeavored to
read a book about the history of the

1351
01:36:47.800 --> 01:36:51.079
location prior to going to better appreciate
the region. I thus read Niagara,

1352
01:36:51.079 --> 01:36:55.720
A History of the Falls by Peter
Bertone. One of the later chapters tells

1353
01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:59.079
the well known tale of one Roger
Woodward, who in nineteen sixty eighth age

1354
01:36:59.119 --> 01:37:02.039
of seven, unwittingly jurneyed over the
Horseshoe Falls after an up river boating accident

1355
01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:05.560
with no protection other than a life
jacket. The author describes his final thoughts

1356
01:37:05.560 --> 01:37:09.479
prior to being hauled over the mammoth
Roaring Falls to what he thought was certain

1357
01:37:09.520 --> 01:37:13.880
death. He wondered what his parents
would do with his pet dog, Fritz,

1358
01:37:14.399 --> 01:37:17.920
named for his idol Fritz von erik
Wow, a local wrestler who lit

1359
01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:21.880
a feudorus down from the Woodwards trailer. Yeah, this is when Fritz lived

1360
01:37:21.880 --> 01:37:27.399
in Niagara Falls and the trailer and
Jackie dyed. Amazingly, Roger's tragedy was

1361
01:37:27.439 --> 01:37:30.000
turned into triumph as he survived the
terrifying ordeal, becoming the first and only

1362
01:37:30.039 --> 01:37:33.359
person to emrge alive after going over
Niagara Falls with only a life jacket his

1363
01:37:33.439 --> 01:37:36.760
protection Thus, while his neighbor,
the real life fritzvan Eric lived a life

1364
01:37:36.800 --> 01:37:40.880
filled with tragedy. I found it
somewhat uplifting that Fritz van Erks the dog

1365
01:37:41.399 --> 01:37:45.359
experienced a triumph of sorts when he
greeted younger Roger upon returning home after his

1366
01:37:45.439 --> 01:37:49.359
death defying encounter. Or recently,
my family journey to NYC to see Billy

1367
01:37:49.439 --> 01:37:54.520
Joel play Madison Square as part of
his famed residency. You've been aching to

1368
01:37:54.560 --> 01:38:02.439
get over there, Hambas get that
text. I was, I was,

1369
01:38:03.239 --> 01:38:09.319
I had tickets. I had bought
tickets for my wife for an anniversary.

1370
01:38:09.479 --> 01:38:15.800
And then what did you have?
They were scheduled for January and the week

1371
01:38:15.840 --> 01:38:20.479
of the fucking concert, we both
got COVID. You had more than tickets,

1372
01:38:20.479 --> 01:38:28.920
as it turned out. Yep Ah. How would you counsel people to

1373
01:38:29.119 --> 01:38:40.279
interpret things like that happening in their
lives? Just don't no point here.

1374
01:38:40.319 --> 01:38:45.680
I was hoping for an uplifting message. No silver lining, none, There's

1375
01:38:45.720 --> 01:38:48.239
been none so far. People don't
talk enough about that. I guess.

1376
01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:53.000
I guess the silver lining is that
you know, I gave my parents a

1377
01:38:53.039 --> 01:38:55.920
fucking good night out that they never
thought they would have had. Yeah,

1378
01:38:55.920 --> 01:38:58.720
they got to take the tickets,
right, Yeah, fucking great. Thanks,

1379
01:38:58.720 --> 01:39:01.439
Oh you'll get you'll get there.
Don't want sorry. Done in July

1380
01:39:01.800 --> 01:39:10.800
is done in July. I mean, people don't talk enough about the moments

1381
01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:15.720
in our lives where we learn nothing, yes, where nothing of value is

1382
01:39:15.800 --> 01:39:20.159
derived and it's only negative you know, yes, yes, we need to

1383
01:39:20.199 --> 01:39:24.159
know how to process those too,
instead of like, oh, actually it

1384
01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:27.680
worked out for the It did not
work out for the best. Sometimes sometimes

1385
01:39:27.720 --> 01:39:30.439
it just sucks. It worked out
for the worst. How about this right?

1386
01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:34.840
And it left me thinking it's not
worth it. Sometimes it's just a

1387
01:39:34.880 --> 01:39:41.159
fucking disaster. I can. Oh, man, let me tell you.

1388
01:39:41.399 --> 01:39:44.359
I feel bad for the boss,
but what he ends up in those situations,

1389
01:39:44.439 --> 01:39:47.319
it is joy to talk to him. Of course, the ship that

1390
01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:50.000
comes out of his mouth when he's
in that mood. Oh my god,

1391
01:39:50.520 --> 01:39:54.920
forget it. I mean again,
I should have known better. I should

1392
01:39:54.920 --> 01:39:57.880
have I mean, look, here's
the thing, here's the thing. This,

1393
01:39:57.880 --> 01:40:01.680
this is the reality of it.
Okay. My wife and I have

1394
01:40:01.720 --> 01:40:06.359
been together since you know, we've
been together since since two thousand and nine,

1395
01:40:06.600 --> 01:40:15.640
and I I don't even remember a
time that I have tried to organize

1396
01:40:16.039 --> 01:40:28.840
us going out that has succeeded,
Like every time that I plan something for

1397
01:40:29.000 --> 01:40:30.600
us, and the irony is that
I get you know, it's like,

1398
01:40:30.640 --> 01:40:32.600
you know, why don't you ever
think of stuff to do for us?

1399
01:40:32.600 --> 01:40:39.920
And it's like because it's not going
to work, Like it's just it's not

1400
01:40:40.079 --> 01:40:43.840
going to work. And and so
I'm like, see what I'm talking about?

1401
01:40:43.880 --> 01:40:46.560
This this is like so key to
life, like how to deal with

1402
01:40:46.600 --> 01:40:51.159
this? And I'm just like,
like, I seriously, I think of

1403
01:40:51.640 --> 01:40:56.000
I once tried to get us to
go on a cruise and it fucking fell

1404
01:40:56.039 --> 01:41:02.760
through. I tried, I've tried
a miss things just and it's like,

1405
01:41:02.800 --> 01:41:12.319
no, fuck it. Tell me
like when you realize that Billy Joel wasn't

1406
01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:16.640
going to happen? Do you I'm
trying to picture like your countenance, your

1407
01:41:16.640 --> 01:41:19.239
general is it kind of yep?
See yep? Or is it like fuck?

1408
01:41:19.640 --> 01:41:21.359
Is it anger? Is it like
see yep? Of course yep.

1409
01:41:21.359 --> 01:41:32.119
Absolutely no. I'll tell you.
There was a so when when my so

1410
01:41:32.520 --> 01:41:35.720
my kid was the first one to
get it, she got COVID yeah,

1411
01:41:36.720 --> 01:41:43.520
and I was like fuck, countdowns
on, but she was like she wasn't

1412
01:41:43.600 --> 01:41:45.439
really it didn't really hit her hard. Oh yeah, thank God for that.

1413
01:41:45.479 --> 01:41:54.399
Absolutely. Then my wife got it
and she get and it was like

1414
01:41:54.439 --> 01:41:57.720
it's like it was okay, Like
I was like, okay, I'm like,

1415
01:41:57.840 --> 01:42:03.800
I'm like, I'm willing to sacrifice
twenty thousand other people to go see

1416
01:42:03.840 --> 01:42:08.319
Billy Joel. Yeah, we're way
past the point where there's any virtue and

1417
01:42:08.680 --> 01:42:13.640
yeah, yeah, I'm not interested
in saving other people. I want to

1418
01:42:13.640 --> 01:42:20.680
go see Billy Joel. Why about
the tickets? Right? And then she

1419
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:26.279
like, you know, like the
day after she got it, it was

1420
01:42:26.960 --> 01:42:30.279
it was rough, yeah, and
she wasn't good, and I was like,

1421
01:42:30.319 --> 01:42:31.199
okay, I was like, all
right, we can. I was

1422
01:42:31.199 --> 01:42:36.800
like, but I'm but I'm okay, hasn't happened. And then the next

1423
01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:45.279
day I got it and I felt
like shit, and it wasn't there wasn't

1424
01:42:45.319 --> 01:42:51.640
even, there wasn't anger, there
wasn't like a moment of it was just

1425
01:42:51.720 --> 01:42:56.000
like this, I just it's just
not going to happen. It was just

1426
01:42:56.760 --> 01:43:02.840
it was just complete acceptance in it. And that's just I guessious. It's

1427
01:43:03.159 --> 01:43:08.039
hilarious. It's it's it's it's ridiculous. It's like you know, and and

1428
01:43:08.079 --> 01:43:12.279
I was like, yeah, it's
just there was just complete acceptance. And

1429
01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:16.359
it was like, okay, we
got to sell the tickets now or whatever,

1430
01:43:16.680 --> 01:43:21.800
and there was just complete acceptance.
Yes, yes, so much.

1431
01:43:24.079 --> 01:43:27.399
And I just knew. I knew, like there was just no way we

1432
01:43:27.399 --> 01:43:31.800
were going to be because it was
the concert was on a Thursday, and

1433
01:43:32.159 --> 01:43:36.479
this must have been Tuesday, and
it was like, yeah, no,

1434
01:43:36.640 --> 01:43:43.159
this is not going to happen.
And so maybe it was Wednesday. Probably

1435
01:43:43.159 --> 01:43:46.520
was Wednesday actually, and and we
were going to sell the tickets and then

1436
01:43:46.800 --> 01:43:51.159
we you know, my I was
able to talk my parents into doing because

1437
01:43:51.159 --> 01:43:55.880
they weren't. You know, my
mom's a wreck physically, and so it

1438
01:43:56.000 --> 01:44:00.199
was it was not something that my
dad was but I was like, I

1439
01:44:00.239 --> 01:44:02.079
was like, you don't understand,
Like, this is actually the best place

1440
01:44:02.079 --> 01:44:06.680
for you to do it, because
having been an employee of Madison Square Garden,

1441
01:44:08.760 --> 01:44:15.279
I can tell you that their motto
is treating their guests better than their

1442
01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:18.560
employees. Sure, so you're gonna
be fine, You're gonna be great.

1443
01:44:18.600 --> 01:44:21.520
They didn't call the number. They
had a great time. They fucking loved

1444
01:44:21.520 --> 01:44:25.000
it. So happy to hear that
they had a blast. Like, honestly,

1445
01:44:25.319 --> 01:44:27.239
in some ways, it was like
I was great. I was so

1446
01:44:27.319 --> 01:44:30.399
happy that they were able to do
that because they never do shit like that,

1447
01:44:30.119 --> 01:44:35.880
and and they had an absolutely amazing
time. And it was like,

1448
01:44:35.920 --> 01:44:40.800
you know, I can't eat.
I I the last time my parents went

1449
01:44:40.840 --> 01:44:45.039
to a fucking you know, like
rock concert or like pop music concert,

1450
01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:50.520
God, like sixties, seventies at
you. So it was good. It

1451
01:44:50.560 --> 01:44:55.600
was good. It was definitely good. I'm hoping we can. It's just

1452
01:44:55.640 --> 01:44:58.760
hard, you know, we don't
fucking you know it is. What's the

1453
01:44:58.880 --> 01:45:02.199
riskiest thing you could do with life? Make pass? Oh? Absolutely,

1454
01:45:03.159 --> 01:45:08.880
Like the riskiest thing you can do
in life is try I hate getting sick,

1455
01:45:09.000 --> 01:45:12.000
of course, But what do I
hate the most about getting sick.

1456
01:45:12.760 --> 01:45:18.239
It's the fact that every hour I'm
calibrating in my head what it's going to

1457
01:45:18.279 --> 01:45:21.960
cost me that I'm sick. And
I don't mean work wise, I mean

1458
01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:27.199
everything plan wise, because I mean, we've now I don't know if people

1459
01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:30.159
have realized this, they probably have
that we've now entered an era where every

1460
01:45:30.279 --> 01:45:36.199
single holiday there's going to be two
or three family members who simply cannot participate

1461
01:45:36.239 --> 01:45:40.479
because of the ature of COVID.
Yes, it used to be that if

1462
01:45:40.479 --> 01:45:44.000
they were sick around the holidays,
they'd still show up, you know and

1463
01:45:44.079 --> 01:45:46.119
just kind of stay away from people
and feel like shit. And people didn't.

1464
01:45:46.560 --> 01:45:50.039
But now, like it's not that
people are deathly afraid of COVID,

1465
01:45:50.039 --> 01:45:55.079
but that the the sort of you
know, the I don't know how to

1466
01:45:55.079 --> 01:45:59.239
put it. The cultural expectation is
you you don't go, you cancel,

1467
01:45:59.680 --> 01:46:02.520
right, and you can feel less
sick than you would have felt, you

1468
01:46:02.560 --> 01:46:05.880
know, with with the old cold
or something. And still it's like it's

1469
01:46:05.920 --> 01:46:11.239
a different palculus. God, God, God forbid the host of the fucking

1470
01:46:11.279 --> 01:46:15.800
holiday act. Gets it ever gonna
be this fucking tap dance thing every year.

1471
01:46:15.800 --> 01:46:18.640
I hope we realize we've entered this
reality that you're talking about here.

1472
01:46:19.119 --> 01:46:20.880
Yeah, that's it. I mean, that's just it. I mean,

1473
01:46:20.880 --> 01:46:27.399
there's that is that is the COVID
age, you know, that is the

1474
01:46:27.399 --> 01:46:30.319
COVID age. We you know,
who knows if we actually had an opportunity

1475
01:46:30.359 --> 01:46:34.439
to fucking if we if we if
we actually if people actually had the had

1476
01:46:34.439 --> 01:46:40.600
the fucking brain to work the herd
mentality, if we'd still be here or

1477
01:46:40.640 --> 01:46:43.319
not in this is the same situation, we might well we might as well,

1478
01:46:43.439 --> 01:46:45.560
we might have been We might be
here anyway we might not have been

1479
01:46:45.880 --> 01:46:49.920
who the fuck knows, but like
we're here, and it's a it is

1480
01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:57.840
a a A devastating truth, devastating
we have, thank you, devastating truth.

1481
01:46:58.079 --> 01:47:01.479
There will be it's scary. It's
not scary, no, no,

1482
01:47:01.520 --> 01:47:06.399
but but it'll still pissed off.
Yes, exactly. It ruins things for

1483
01:47:06.479 --> 01:47:14.079
me, yes, exactly. Expectations
Expectations are now. I mean, because

1484
01:47:14.159 --> 01:47:16.159
here's you know, here's the thing
too, Like we think people are over

1485
01:47:16.199 --> 01:47:19.039
it, and then all of a
sudden, somebody in your circle gets it,

1486
01:47:19.039 --> 01:47:23.199
and people's true color comes out,
and they don't want them anywhere around.

1487
01:47:23.520 --> 01:47:25.640
No, they don't want them in
the same country. Nope. I

1488
01:47:25.960 --> 01:47:38.600
have I have my my wife's partner, the first get together we had.

1489
01:47:41.399 --> 01:47:48.800
I mean, she is so she
is so fucking petrified of getting COVID.

1490
01:47:49.640 --> 01:47:54.560
No she did, she has now
see I thought that would be the the

1491
01:47:54.640 --> 01:47:58.119
anidote for most, but I guess
not like no, no, she's still

1492
01:47:58.159 --> 01:48:01.399
petrified of it. And and but
she's she's the kind that wears the fucking

1493
01:48:02.600 --> 01:48:08.119
you know, the the the has
mat yeah, yeah, with the strap

1494
01:48:08.199 --> 01:48:10.720
in the back of the head,
yeah, you know what with the and

1495
01:48:10.800 --> 01:48:16.159
with the mat like the full plastic
face mask right right right, well like

1496
01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:23.319
uh uh dx with sergeant slaughter.
You know, are you serious, Like

1497
01:48:23.359 --> 01:48:26.800
the windshield wipers, yes, well
not the windshield wipers, but like that

1498
01:48:27.000 --> 01:48:30.239
full o, that full plastic face
mask. Years oh yeah, yes,

1499
01:48:30.520 --> 01:48:34.319
in the wild. She fucking brought
that up. I'll never forget the first

1500
01:48:34.319 --> 01:48:38.439
holiday we had and she's like walking
around with this thing on. I'm like,

1501
01:48:39.119 --> 01:48:44.359
I'm like, look, Jesus Christ, like live a little, like

1502
01:48:44.640 --> 01:48:46.880
live a little for the lover of
Christ. I mean, people were as

1503
01:48:46.920 --> 01:48:49.960
the people wearing beaeper suits. I
know, yep, yep, yep.

1504
01:48:50.279 --> 01:48:54.520
But like you think you look back
at your high school yearbooking, cringe.

1505
01:48:55.079 --> 01:49:00.960
Wait till you look back at how
people were dressed in twenty twenty in terms

1506
01:49:00.960 --> 01:49:06.920
of gearch gear. It's almost like
it's almost like it wasn't real. It's

1507
01:49:06.960 --> 01:49:13.840
like with somebody else's life that I'm
thinking about so bizarre. It's bizarre thing

1508
01:49:14.039 --> 01:49:15.520
it really was. I mean,
when you think about all that shit,

1509
01:49:15.800 --> 01:49:20.760
just the mentality that you were in
every day was so so unusual that it

1510
01:49:20.880 --> 01:49:26.119
did not feel like your life.
I mean, you had such a it

1511
01:49:27.079 --> 01:49:35.199
was so it was so bizarre with
with the Yeah, just like being shut

1512
01:49:35.239 --> 01:49:42.439
in and they were like a small
a bit of restaurant, a small list

1513
01:49:42.479 --> 01:49:45.039
of restaurants, a very limited list
of restaurants we'd go to. And every

1514
01:49:45.039 --> 01:49:48.079
time I go back to one of
those, I like get in this weird

1515
01:49:48.119 --> 01:49:53.640
headspace of like it's almost like a
deja vus. It's almost like a but

1516
01:49:53.720 --> 01:49:57.520
deja vous, the kind where you
don't know why you're remembering, like why

1517
01:49:57.560 --> 01:50:00.840
does this? Why am I feeling
like I'm actually revised in a routine I

1518
01:50:00.920 --> 01:50:03.720
had because I am. But it's
a routine that was not It wasn't choice.

1519
01:50:03.840 --> 01:50:06.760
It was like, right, it
was due to lack of choice that

1520
01:50:06.800 --> 01:50:10.760
this was my routine because like there
was yeah, there were there were a

1521
01:50:10.800 --> 01:50:15.119
couple of places that you know,
we would Yeah, it was so weird.

1522
01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:20.880
It's such a fucking bizarre time.
More recently, he writes, my

1523
01:50:20.880 --> 01:50:25.359
family journey to NYC to see Billy
Joel play Madison Square. That's how we

1524
01:50:25.399 --> 01:50:28.640
got to that. Yeah, right, I just said, go on my

1525
01:50:28.680 --> 01:50:31.640
own laps journey by touring MSG beforehand. You got it so I could appreciate

1526
01:50:31.640 --> 01:50:34.600
the most famous arena in the world
in more relaxed and uncrowded way and reflect

1527
01:50:34.680 --> 01:50:38.520
upon the many great wrestling moments that
occurred there. Although I believe you no

1528
01:50:38.560 --> 01:50:42.279
longer give tours JP, and envisioned
you giving this one during the hour long

1529
01:50:42.319 --> 01:50:44.560
tour, I was hoping that guy
would acknowledge some of the great moments in

1530
01:50:44.600 --> 01:50:46.159
wrestling that occurred within the arena alongside
I want to know who. I want

1531
01:50:46.159 --> 01:50:49.960
to know who the tour guide was, and I probably know them also a

1532
01:50:49.960 --> 01:50:55.199
lot of people who do tours there
alongside the other concerts, boxing events and

1533
01:50:55.239 --> 01:50:57.560
other pivotal moments, but I was
not totally surprised when he did not.

1534
01:50:58.680 --> 01:51:01.279
As we walked around the level concession
area, I was enamored by the Claga

1535
01:51:01.319 --> 01:51:04.319
photos adorning the upper wall of the
arena, recounting the great moments that occurred

1536
01:51:04.359 --> 01:51:08.840
there. There are hundreds of such
photos and I naturally sought out any wrestling

1537
01:51:08.880 --> 01:51:12.560
related ones with anticipation. The tour
guys seemed a bit rushed and I couldn't

1538
01:51:12.600 --> 01:51:15.119
understand half of what he said as
he spoke so fast while hurting the tour

1539
01:51:15.159 --> 01:51:18.279
group along. I was definitely that
guy who lagged behind trying to look at

1540
01:51:18.279 --> 01:51:21.199
eating every photos, who has not
miss any I'm sure you can relate JP.

1541
01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:25.720
There. There are a lot there
there there I think there are three.

1542
01:51:26.840 --> 01:51:33.520
There are three wrestling related photos on
the on that that that thing there

1543
01:51:33.600 --> 01:51:42.560
the uh whatever the fuck it's called. They there's obviously WrestleMania one, SummerSlam

1544
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:46.840
eighty eight interesting is pictured, and
then also there's a picture of Jim Londos.

1545
01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:49.199
Oh. Yeah, we talked about
that. Yeah, you know,

1546
01:51:49.279 --> 01:51:53.560
coming up on Punchline Philly April seventh. That was kind of the first one,

1547
01:51:55.079 --> 01:51:57.000
the first WrestleMania Labs to get together. I mean, we did do

1548
01:51:57.039 --> 01:52:00.600
at Parking Lot Show Wrestling thirty two
in Dallas, but that was impromptu.

1549
01:52:00.840 --> 01:52:05.279
That was kind of a last minute, was arranged occasion for our fans with

1550
01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:11.399
ticketing the tour that was that was
fun, Like, it was so cool

1551
01:52:11.399 --> 01:52:14.479
to be able to offer that to
people. Yeah, and and and to

1552
01:52:14.680 --> 01:52:21.000
do like to be able to do
a wrestling centric one, which was great

1553
01:52:21.000 --> 01:52:25.479
because it was like this game of
the opportunity to go to all the real

1554
01:52:26.720 --> 01:52:30.000
the places that I like to go
to. But everyone else, who I

1555
01:52:30.039 --> 01:52:33.520
fucking you know, everyone every other
tour, all the tours that I had,

1556
01:52:33.560 --> 01:52:36.199
they were like, I don't give
a shit. About this phenomenal and

1557
01:52:36.239 --> 01:52:42.760
to work the co workers into doing
the end suddenly that was fun. Fucking

1558
01:52:42.880 --> 01:52:45.000
that guy. Oh god, he
got fired. Oh did he? People

1559
01:52:45.039 --> 01:52:47.479
wonder about him all the time.
Yeah, he got fired. I heard

1560
01:52:48.520 --> 01:52:53.560
my friend Mark, who was a
tour guy there. He still he's still

1561
01:52:53.560 --> 01:52:57.760
a tour guy there, although he's
he's he's playing on windening it up.

1562
01:52:57.800 --> 01:53:06.520
But you know, the the the
pandemic really changed a lot of MSG internally.

1563
01:53:06.800 --> 01:53:12.239
And I know he got he got
let go, and he was like

1564
01:53:13.039 --> 01:53:18.319
he was pissed. He was like
talking about how he actually said he said,

1565
01:53:18.479 --> 01:53:21.880
he said something like how I don't
know if it was this dramatic,

1566
01:53:21.920 --> 01:53:30.000
but like I am MSG or something
like that, it's tremendous. Like he

1567
01:53:30.079 --> 01:53:34.000
had a lot of pride, like
in his mind, in his mind he

1568
01:53:34.039 --> 01:53:38.760
actually said like he's I heard him
say this that he was like, how

1569
01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:42.800
much, how much bigger can you
get than than working Madison Square Garden.

1570
01:53:42.840 --> 01:53:45.199
And I'm like, he bought all
that he bought. Dude, you're you're

1571
01:53:46.920 --> 01:53:51.359
it's different. You're not you're not
working Madison Square Garden. You're working at

1572
01:53:51.439 --> 01:53:57.279
Madison Square Garden. It's different.
Guy who's making pretzels over there. So

1573
01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:01.760
yeah, it's like the guy making
fucking fried chicken sandwiches over there. Oh

1574
01:54:01.880 --> 01:54:08.600
sounds good. Yeah, kim chi
on top, Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

1575
01:54:09.319 --> 01:54:11.800
I think it's called fuku, but
I always called fuck you chicken.

1576
01:54:13.399 --> 01:54:15.119
In New York, that's what they
call it. Yes, And how amazing

1577
01:54:15.239 --> 01:54:19.079
was it that while we were giving
the tour to last fans, yes,

1578
01:54:19.159 --> 01:54:23.399
they were setting up the Ring of
Honor show. Yes, yes, people

1579
01:54:23.439 --> 01:54:26.399
would look at the ring and see
them. Yes, so cool. Yep,

1580
01:54:26.439 --> 01:54:29.079
it was a lot of fun.
It was great that we could do

1581
01:54:29.159 --> 01:54:32.039
that. And yeah, it was
a lot of fun. I was definitely

1582
01:54:32.039 --> 01:54:34.399
that guy who lagged behind trying to
look at each and every photo, so

1583
01:54:34.439 --> 01:54:38.720
it's not miss any. I was
pleased to locate three wrestling related ones just

1584
01:54:38.760 --> 01:54:42.479
like you said. Hogan vers Iron
Cheek from nineteen eighty four. Mm hm,

1585
01:54:42.680 --> 01:54:45.920
oh okay, I forgot. I
forgot about that one. Hogan tea

1586
01:54:45.960 --> 01:54:49.840
Piper Wonderful from Tanya one and Hogan
Savage DBAs Anddre SummerSlam eight eight to mis

1587
01:54:49.840 --> 01:54:54.439
Londo's So there are four. So
there's four. Then there will pleased with

1588
01:54:54.479 --> 01:54:57.760
these somewhat interwhelming discoveries. I noticed
there were approximately a dozen large and closed

1589
01:54:57.800 --> 01:55:01.680
displays with original memorabilia from most notable
of notable MSG events through the years.

1590
01:55:01.720 --> 01:55:04.800
Adorning the opposing wall, I could
tell this was where the real money was.

1591
01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:08.279
Our tour took us about two thirds
of the way around the arena,

1592
01:55:08.359 --> 01:55:11.000
highlighting these, thus missing a few
of the showcases. The ones we saw

1593
01:55:11.039 --> 01:55:13.720
featured the likes of Muhammad Ali,
the Pope, the New York Knicks,

1594
01:55:13.760 --> 01:55:16.000
the New York Rangers, et cetera. I was naturally disappointed, but again

1595
01:55:16.039 --> 01:55:18.359
not surprised that none of them featured
wrestling. In any case. They do,

1596
01:55:18.800 --> 01:55:24.159
they do, they do. There's
one if you go, I know

1597
01:55:24.239 --> 01:55:27.960
exactly the way that they went,
So there are there were different There are

1598
01:55:27.960 --> 01:55:31.680
different routes you can take for the
tour, right and depending on how busy

1599
01:55:31.720 --> 01:55:39.319
of a day it is. And
if you go a B route you go

1600
01:55:39.680 --> 01:55:44.319
so normally you always hit when you
get up to the main main concourse,

1601
01:55:45.159 --> 01:55:50.960
you always hit Muhammad Ali, Joe
Frasier first. That's always that's always a

1602
01:55:51.000 --> 01:55:56.239
thing, right. If you're doing
an A route, you go down one

1603
01:55:56.279 --> 01:56:03.760
side and you hit the and you
hit Gretzki. You go the other way

1604
01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:09.760
and you hit WrestleMania one and they
got Hogan. They got Hogan, Hogan

1605
01:56:09.880 --> 01:56:16.439
shirt, pipers, boots and whatever. Yeah, absolutely phenomenal, great insight.

1606
01:56:16.479 --> 01:56:19.119
In any case, our tour continued
to some of the locker rooms and

1607
01:56:19.159 --> 01:56:23.479
arena floor, where I pictured such
events as Hogan pinning iron cheek to inaugurate

1608
01:56:23.479 --> 01:56:27.239
the era, Hulkamania, Liz removing
her skirt to help the Megapowers to victory

1609
01:56:27.279 --> 01:56:30.680
at the original Summer Slam in the
ladder, Yes politically teetering above a prone

1610
01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:32.920
Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels of WrestleMania
ten. As a tour ended, I

1611
01:56:33.000 --> 01:56:36.560
left someone unsatisfied regarding the lack of
acknowledgment of the Royle wrestlings played in the

1612
01:56:36.560 --> 01:56:40.319
Arida's history. However, I reminded
myself that I would be back in a

1613
01:56:40.359 --> 01:56:44.039
few hours for the concert and could
thus conclude my own tour privately. When

1614
01:56:44.079 --> 01:56:45.800
I returned that night, I arrived
early so I could view the remaining showcases.

1615
01:56:45.800 --> 01:56:48.319
There were three or four I hadn't
yet seen. I excitedly found them,

1616
01:56:48.399 --> 01:56:51.840
but one by whole was disappointed.
Oh, with only one left.

1617
01:56:51.840 --> 01:56:55.319
The outlook was grim. But as
I walked up to it, I noticed

1618
01:56:55.319 --> 01:56:57.880
a gload of the red and yellow
there we go. As I approached it

1619
01:56:58.000 --> 01:57:00.399
with my son, I realized all
my efforts it paid off. That featured

1620
01:57:00.439 --> 01:57:04.159
hul Cogan memorabilia, tights, shirt
belt, as well as WrestleMania one artifacts,

1621
01:57:04.159 --> 01:57:08.119
Piper's boots, commotial poster, et
cetera. Yes, I had that

1622
01:57:08.159 --> 01:57:10.560
warm feeling I used to get thirty
years ago. And after weeks of searching,

1623
01:57:10.560 --> 01:57:14.199
I finally located that long lost Colisseum
home video at some remote walk Pastore,

1624
01:57:14.479 --> 01:57:17.119
New Hasbro figure to Sketchy Toys r
Us. I've included a photo below.

1625
01:57:17.319 --> 01:57:20.319
It was nice to see the great
history of ww wrestling at the Garden

1626
01:57:20.359 --> 01:57:25.479
acknowledged appropriately up in the I'm surprised
too that what are you gonna say?

1627
01:57:25.960 --> 01:57:28.000
I was just going to continue with
the email go ahead. Oh, I

1628
01:57:28.039 --> 01:57:30.800
was on one thing too, I'm
I'm I don't know if he if he

1629
01:57:31.000 --> 01:57:35.359
if he mentioned this, but on
the tour, you're supposed to go down

1630
01:57:35.359 --> 01:57:43.359
a hallway up in the up in
the suites, and of course, granted

1631
01:57:43.399 --> 01:57:49.439
you never know, sometimes they skip
the luxury suites and they go to the

1632
01:57:49.079 --> 01:57:53.399
the upper tier suites, depending on
you know, because sometimes you can't.

1633
01:57:53.439 --> 01:57:56.720
They don't want people on, yeah, depending on what's going on. But

1634
01:57:57.640 --> 01:58:06.600
there's also a picture of Hogan Tea
and Liberaci in in the main suite area,

1635
01:58:08.359 --> 01:58:14.319
and I used to stop people there
a lot, and until my tour

1636
01:58:14.399 --> 01:58:15.279
was starting to run along, and
then I cut it out. But I

1637
01:58:15.359 --> 01:58:21.079
used to always try to actually build
up the pro wrestling element of Madison Square

1638
01:58:21.079 --> 01:58:26.479
Garden and talk about absolutely that that
would be the time where I would bring

1639
01:58:26.560 --> 01:58:33.079
in I would talk about WrestleMania,
but then I would also talk about brunos

1640
01:58:33.079 --> 01:58:40.680
Ha Martino and I talk about his
the record, the record, the record,

1641
01:58:40.800 --> 01:58:45.760
yeah ye, the records sellout.
And then also the first the first

1642
01:58:45.800 --> 01:58:56.720
time that that wrestling was held at
at Madison Square Garden, which was years

1643
01:58:56.760 --> 01:59:01.640
prior, the centuries prior. Those
people got a lot more bang for their

1644
01:59:01.680 --> 01:59:05.039
buck. Oh yeah, oh yeah. I mean I also gave I mean,

1645
01:59:05.079 --> 01:59:09.600
listen, I don't I don't mind
saying I I gave a fucking kick

1646
01:59:09.640 --> 01:59:14.520
ass tour exactly what I got more
than more than a handful of compliments from

1647
01:59:15.319 --> 01:59:20.640
from uh other employees who would be
walking around the concourse in the arena and

1648
01:59:20.720 --> 01:59:29.000
catch me doing my thing. Excellent
brother, I was I love joy impression.

1649
01:59:29.279 --> 01:59:31.479
Yeah, yes, that's what I
thought. Yes, And it made

1650
01:59:31.520 --> 01:59:36.800
people very uncomfortable because it's like,
it's like, what the fun was a

1651
01:59:36.800 --> 01:59:40.199
lot of times, yeah, because
keep in mind, it's a lot of

1652
01:59:40.239 --> 01:59:45.920
people are are very a lot of
a lot of uh tourists from other countries

1653
01:59:46.600 --> 01:59:56.199
don't do who yes, who don't? Yes exactly, like right, sloud

1654
01:59:56.279 --> 02:00:00.279
and floush and all that. Yeah, you know, flash Still it's just

1655
02:00:00.319 --> 02:00:06.520
sisky and you're scaring much very nervous. I'm screaming at them, you know,

1656
02:00:08.920 --> 02:00:13.520
fucking terrorizing these people, and they're
like, oh god, so many,

1657
02:00:14.000 --> 02:00:18.640
so many, so many times you
think you know, you're trying to

1658
02:00:20.039 --> 02:00:24.720
because you work obviously, you work
your punchlines a lot in those things.

1659
02:00:24.760 --> 02:00:29.279
Oh yeah. And it's like,
you know, if you get a group

1660
02:00:29.359 --> 02:00:35.199
that just speaks littleton zero English,
oh my god, it's so fucking funny

1661
02:00:35.439 --> 02:00:42.560
to have jokes just completely bomb,
completely bomb, and I'd go into my

1662
02:00:42.680 --> 02:00:47.960
fucking crazy I would get so intense
during the uh the Muhammad Ali shit,

1663
02:00:48.199 --> 02:00:53.399
like just go fucking crazy, like
talking about how you know, this is

1664
02:00:53.439 --> 02:00:57.319
America, so obviously you have to
obviously you have to make a sequel to

1665
02:00:57.359 --> 02:01:00.680
make more Mondy, they have to
have Fraser Ali two. All right,

1666
02:01:00.720 --> 02:01:03.000
this is you know, and then
and then and then look, if you

1667
02:01:03.119 --> 02:01:06.359
got two, you gotta have three. You gotta have a rubber match.

1668
02:01:06.520 --> 02:01:12.039
I actually say would say rubber match
in my tour, And and people was

1669
02:01:12.079 --> 02:01:19.119
fucking sitting there like what is wrong
with this animal? David concludes one final

1670
02:01:19.199 --> 02:01:21.680
humorous note. At the entrance to
the garden, there is a Walk of

1671
02:01:21.720 --> 02:01:25.920
Fame, similar to the Hollywood version, but featuring those athletes and performers that

1672
02:01:25.960 --> 02:01:29.880
have contributed significantly in the history of
success. Yes, I searched for any

1673
02:01:29.920 --> 02:01:32.680
wrestling related individual to be immortalized along
the lights of Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan,

1674
02:01:32.760 --> 02:01:36.920
and the Rolling Stones and found the
one and only Yes AND's McMahon.

1675
02:01:36.960 --> 02:01:40.319
So honor, Yes, Yes,
indeed. Do you think that's still there?

1676
02:01:40.399 --> 02:01:45.800
Pal? I imagine that it might
be being removed as we speak.

1677
02:01:45.079 --> 02:01:48.560
However, I chuckled as I read
the central bronze plaque describing the qualifications for

1678
02:01:48.600 --> 02:01:51.479
induction, which dates that each person
is honored with a plaque that designates the

1679
02:01:51.520 --> 02:01:57.319
performance category broadcasting, boxing, baseball, basketball, hockey, track and field,

1680
02:01:57.359 --> 02:02:01.000
tennis, skating, music circus in
which their contributions have been made,

1681
02:02:01.000 --> 02:02:04.239
with wrestling not specifically listed, I
naturally assumed he was included out of the

1682
02:02:04.239 --> 02:02:08.560
category of circus Fergus. Yes,
indeed, thanks again for reading and help

1683
02:02:08.560 --> 02:02:13.239
you enjoy the photos we did and
you remember too, I posted this back

1684
02:02:13.439 --> 02:02:15.680
in the day, so when I
first started working there. So if you

1685
02:02:15.760 --> 02:02:21.359
walked in the UH, there's an
employee section where you have to kind of

1686
02:02:21.479 --> 02:02:24.960
check in. Yeah, when you
get to the When you get there,

1687
02:02:25.800 --> 02:02:29.640
and I would go, so you
walk along, they had kind of these

1688
02:02:29.760 --> 02:02:35.279
murals on the the UH, the
cinder block walls, you know, like

1689
02:02:35.319 --> 02:02:41.039
they painted them and stuff, And
there was a Hulk Hogan forever there.

1690
02:02:41.399 --> 02:02:49.199
Hulk Hogan was there forever. And
then one day I was walking in to

1691
02:02:49.399 --> 02:02:58.479
check in and Hulk Hogan wasn't there
anymore. It was John Cena. That's

1692
02:02:58.600 --> 02:03:03.840
fucking amazing. I think I tweeted
that photo amazing. That's right. Actually

1693
02:03:03.920 --> 02:03:08.079
I'm sitting here thinking about it and
I thought that was our bit, but

1694
02:03:08.159 --> 02:03:12.760
that actually happened. No, that
that actually happened where they replaced Hull Cogan

1695
02:03:13.159 --> 02:03:17.760
with John Cena. Incredible, such
a and it's like it's the same exact

1696
02:03:17.800 --> 02:03:24.119
pose that that whole Cogan, the
whole Cogan painting was in, but it

1697
02:03:24.159 --> 02:03:30.560
was just now John Cena, unreal, oh Man. So many wonderful things

1698

That's right, Carlos Stallion writes, My

1716
02:04:58.399 --> 02:05:00.920
gorgeous, long suffering wife was considering
a logo design. She has started working

1717
02:05:00.920 --> 02:05:04.199
transport in the local film industry after
a lifetime of trauma working in the child

1718
02:05:04.199 --> 02:05:09.199
welfare system. She's a newly minted
IATZI member and loves working on productions and

1719
02:05:09.239 --> 02:05:12.760
learning the industry. The current strike
had a direct effect on her career prospects.

1720
02:05:12.760 --> 02:05:15.640
This is back during the Hollywood strikes. Yes, she has taken it

1721
02:05:15.680 --> 02:05:18.359
picking up part time shifts with Canada
Post driving mail trucks. It's a pay

1722
02:05:18.439 --> 02:05:20.720
cut at a job she does not
enjoy or care about. She wants to

1723
02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:24.840
invest in her own crafty catering truck
to work on film productions as well.

1724
02:05:25.039 --> 02:05:27.840
So She was musing about a logo
use AI. It's awesome, mikesed great

1725
02:05:27.840 --> 02:05:30.239
logos, says I all impetuous.
Mmmm. This point I could hear a

1726
02:05:30.239 --> 02:05:32.960
faint snapping sound. I think a
wire sprung in her brain because she begin

1727
02:05:33.039 --> 02:05:36.119
a TI rate in slow crescendo,
cutting a moving, stirring, angry promo,

1728
02:05:36.199 --> 02:05:40.760
grieving about how AI is a direct
threat to her livelihood and career,

1729
02:05:41.199 --> 02:05:44.079
how people are suffering, how an
industry is at risk of collapsing, and

1730
02:05:44.199 --> 02:05:46.399
thousands of people artists, support staff, trades, people, hard work and

1731
02:05:46.439 --> 02:05:50.760
common people are at risk of falling
into economic crises hard times, baby,

1732
02:05:50.800 --> 02:05:56.159
I add, hmm, with enthusiasm. People can't pay their wages, Daddy,

1733
02:05:56.680 --> 02:05:59.439
I'm on board with their sentiments.
I share her concerns. I feel

1734
02:05:59.439 --> 02:06:05.439
the amass on if looks could kill. Are you being stupid right now?

1735
02:06:05.439 --> 02:06:09.680
What the fuck is wrong with you? She says, yes, walks out

1736
02:06:09.720 --> 02:06:15.000
and slams the door. Sham,
be very careful about working yourself into a

1737
02:06:15.039 --> 02:06:19.000
shoot. Solar System members, Brother
Joe and some others had to point this

1738
02:06:19.039 --> 02:06:24.720
out. There was an article in
a newspaper in Australia called The Age that

1739
02:06:24.800 --> 02:06:29.840
said the following this is about the
ww coming to Perth for the Elimination Chamber

1740
02:06:29.880 --> 02:06:34.800
coming up this month. The promoter, headquartered in Connecticut, facilitates shows which

1741
02:06:34.840 --> 02:06:41.359
are not legitimate contests, but entertainment
based partially choreographed performance theater. Brother,

1742
02:06:42.520 --> 02:06:47.760
I repeat, not legitimate contests,
but just just not to make this too

1743
02:06:47.760 --> 02:06:56.239
wordy, entertainment based partially choreographed performance
theater. Take that. I don't see

1744
02:06:56.279 --> 02:07:00.560
what the problem is that in Women
of the WWE broadcast in more than one

1745
02:07:00.600 --> 02:07:02.600
million homes globally, so thanks to
Joe for pointing that out. Thanks for

1746
02:07:02.680 --> 02:07:08.560
Tim writing LAPS editor in Australia.
Though I was love when the fucking alarm

1747
02:07:08.600 --> 02:07:14.039
bells go, always great to see, Nick writes to us. It was

1748
02:07:14.079 --> 02:07:15.640
when I realized I'm just as embarrassed
to listen to you guys in front of

1749
02:07:15.640 --> 02:07:18.439
my wife as I am to watch
wrestling in front of her. Yes,

1750
02:07:18.520 --> 02:07:21.279
that I finally accepted the fact that
you guys are so far above and beyond

1751
02:07:21.279 --> 02:07:26.520
all the wrestling podcasts it's not even
fair keep giving me what I need.

1752
02:07:26.880 --> 02:07:30.119
That's right, we are that guilty
pleasure. Robert writes Coach Heirs, long

1753
02:07:30.159 --> 02:07:33.600
time listener, first time emailer,
just discovered that hul Cogan is selling vapes.

1754
02:07:34.079 --> 02:07:36.840
Brother, I would love to hear
in the show how you think he

1755
02:07:36.880 --> 02:07:40.439
would sell these? No need to
roll up tobacco anymore, dude, who

1756
02:07:40.479 --> 02:07:46.439
you've been smoking with? Keep up
the good work. But A wall say

1757
02:07:46.520 --> 02:07:48.840
vape? You mean? What do
you mean selling? Dude? Who's selling?

1758
02:07:48.920 --> 02:07:54.840
Dude? I'm on, brother,
I want selling vape? Dude?

1759
02:07:55.079 --> 02:07:57.840
Are you about selling it for Vader? Brother? I'm not selling for Vader?

1760
02:07:57.920 --> 02:08:11.279
Dude? Is that what you do? I don't understand WHOA. Let's

1761
02:08:11.319 --> 02:08:18.079
come back, Yeah, all right, let's kind of let's get this thing

1762
02:08:18.239 --> 02:08:22.319
back on track, dude, And
I want to understand exactly what it is

1763
02:08:22.760 --> 02:08:37.600
that you're trying to say when you
say vape? Mhm, are you what

1764
02:08:37.640 --> 02:08:46.640
do you? WHOA? You have
to remember the key to Hogan is that

1765
02:08:48.560 --> 02:08:54.439
his brain's working faster than he can
say words. He's he's making he's making

1766
02:08:54.520 --> 02:08:58.760
logical leaps. You know. Yes, he's got like you know, you

1767
02:08:58.760 --> 02:09:03.760
know one one one moment right here, like one thought, has a got

1768
02:09:03.840 --> 02:09:15.640
about fifteen possible you know, next
moves? And I just I just want

1769
02:09:15.640 --> 02:09:18.039
to know exactly what is So I'm
willing to be honest with you, brother,

1770
02:09:18.199 --> 02:09:22.399
I'm willing to tell you exactly what
is you want to know. I

1771
02:09:22.439 --> 02:09:28.680
just don't know what is that you
want to know. So, so when

1772
02:09:28.680 --> 02:09:33.119
you talk about selling vapes, what
do you mean by what? What is

1773
02:09:33.159 --> 02:09:35.479
a vape? Dude? Is a
vapor? What do you mean by vape?

1774
02:09:35.520 --> 02:09:41.239
Brother? What is vape? Vapor? Big van vapor, befo water

1775
02:09:41.359 --> 02:09:46.640
vapor, hydro fuel cells. I'm
not digging big van vapor? Brother.

1776
02:09:48.000 --> 02:09:50.920
Brother. You know, hydrogen fuel
cells aren't zero emission, right, Dude?

1777
02:09:50.640 --> 02:09:54.560
If they suck in polluted air and
they're going to admit it, probably

1778
02:09:54.000 --> 02:09:56.359
this is not so. I mean, I'm talking to you. You know,

1779
02:09:56.399 --> 02:10:01.680
we're talking about and we're talking about
about climate change. Now, dude,

1780
02:10:01.680 --> 02:10:03.119
do you got to increase those axles? Dude? How does that not

1781
02:10:03.199 --> 02:10:07.319
emit? Are you like? Do
you check? I don't know about where

1782
02:10:07.399 --> 02:10:11.920
you live, brother, but we
have to call it check exactly where where

1783
02:10:11.960 --> 02:10:20.840
we're at? Where our emissions?
You know, admissions to emissions. And

1784
02:10:20.960 --> 02:10:28.199
you know I'm as equally concerned of
about emissions as I am admissions to the

1785
02:10:28.279 --> 02:10:31.720
arena. Brother. Right, you
talk about global warming, dude, I

1786
02:10:31.720 --> 02:10:39.079
mean I'm talking about global audiences.
I think we canna leave it there because

1787
02:10:39.159 --> 02:10:43.640
it reached the point where they're like, let's go down in the Hogan climate

1788
02:10:43.720 --> 02:10:48.720
change route. And what brought that
to an abrupt end the fact that I

1789
02:10:48.720 --> 02:10:54.079
said global and then he says global
audiences, and then it's like, okay,

1790
02:10:54.119 --> 02:11:01.399
well that's it. That's the end
logical conclusion that this probably belonged the

1791
02:11:01.439 --> 02:11:03.720
laps Trunk portion. But Neil writes, Dorry Senior's wife was named Dorothy.

1792
02:11:03.880 --> 02:11:13.560
Is that short for Doriance? No, would be Dorothans. Actually is what

1793
02:11:13.560 --> 02:11:18.720
it would be? Dorothan's Ronaldi.
Many thought Terry's y Vicky was short for

1794
02:11:18.840 --> 02:11:30.119
Victoria, but it's actually Vickians,
Vickens, Vickens. Oh yeah, you

1795
02:11:30.239 --> 02:11:33.840
know, I shot there with Vickens, and we going way back and we're

1796
02:11:33.880 --> 02:11:43.680
there with Doncan and Dorothan's and and
the sitting there and something with the Caroardly

1797
02:11:43.800 --> 02:11:50.399
Lions and then the tin Woodman's and
just doing the whole damn thing. Howardly

1798
02:11:50.520 --> 02:11:56.000
Lion is that whole Cogan? What
do you why do you even say that?

1799
02:11:56.039 --> 02:11:58.000
Brother? What are beyond the mad
episode of under the Cinemat, of

1800
02:11:58.039 --> 02:12:01.119
course, brought to you as part
of the Lapsed Funk some great comments,

1801
02:12:01.159 --> 02:12:05.960
including Adam, who writes much better
than Barry's follow up film, which chronicled

1802
02:12:05.000 --> 02:12:09.039
pm News, Abdullah the Butcher,
one Man, Gang Yoka's Innovador, and

1803
02:12:09.039 --> 02:12:13.199
a few other rotund wrestlers as they
travel cross country discovering the best food and

1804
02:12:13.239 --> 02:12:30.199
each other. Beyond the fact,
I would absolutely want to be part of

1805
02:12:30.239 --> 02:12:35.479
a documentary that just follows heavy wrestlers
in their diet on the road, you

1806
02:12:35.520 --> 02:12:37.239
know, Like I would just want
to do a dog just about the meals,

1807
02:12:37.680 --> 02:12:41.039
you know, I would. I
just want to see them fucking yeah,

1808
02:12:41.079 --> 02:12:43.279
like, what what is their solution
to hunger? Right? Because they

1809
02:12:43.279 --> 02:12:46.880
don't have they have no options,
and they have no time, so they

1810
02:12:46.920 --> 02:12:50.800
absolutely have to make it count when
they sit down, right, Yeah,

1811
02:12:50.880 --> 02:12:54.720
you have to think about how much
more calories a fucking rakishi or a yah.

1812
02:12:54.800 --> 02:12:58.880
Yeah, and we're talking about I
mean while flying around, are you

1813
02:12:58.960 --> 02:13:05.760
kidding? Six six thousand calories?
Probably these guys are meeting right needing right.

1814
02:13:05.880 --> 02:13:09.159
I mean they let him, they
let him out, they let him

1815
02:13:09.159 --> 02:13:11.239
into the restaurant out back, they
let him into the fucking freezer locker,

1816
02:13:11.279 --> 02:13:16.119
you know, they just like feed
him in there. Yeah, right,

1817
02:13:16.159 --> 02:13:20.720
I mean you're better off doing that
anyway, Andrew right on the cinemat love

1818
02:13:20.760 --> 02:13:22.159
this movie. My uncle took me
and my cousin to see this the day

1819
02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:26.920
it came out. Oddly, Michael
passed away earlier today. So all right,

1820
02:13:26.920 --> 02:13:28.840
p uncle Sonny, thanks for taking
me to this and all those baseball

1821
02:13:28.880 --> 02:13:33.680
and hockey games. Yes, rest
in peace, Uncle Sonny. Thank you.

1822
02:13:33.720 --> 02:13:37.920
Jim writes, Oh God, about
an hour and I'm physically uncomfortable at

1823
02:13:37.920 --> 02:13:43.520
the thought of Barry's birthday. Oh
can you imagine this stuff of nightmares?

1824
02:13:43.960 --> 02:13:48.079
As a lapsed fan. I still
can't deal with it, and it's been

1825
02:13:48.680 --> 02:13:52.079
weeks months since we talked about it. Months. I can't sit here and

1826
02:13:52.119 --> 02:13:56.479
think about I mean, I think
about honestly, you know, you know,

1827
02:13:56.600 --> 02:14:05.119
the the only equivalent that I have
is is at my bachelor party when

1828
02:14:05.119 --> 02:14:11.399
my dad brought out the wrestling toys. Oh, Virgil wasn't even as bad.

1829
02:14:11.640 --> 02:14:16.199
Virgil wasn't even that wasn't Virgil was
horrifying. But like, my dad

1830
02:14:16.239 --> 02:14:24.479
bring out the the fucking wrestling toys
and my makeshift cage, like that was

1831
02:14:24.520 --> 02:14:28.640
a fucking like, oh shit,
my dad, there are real people here,

1832
02:14:30.039 --> 02:14:39.359
Oh, you know people, how
fucking mortifying. Here's his toys.

1833
02:14:39.760 --> 02:14:43.600
Here's yes, here's his wrestling toys. It's wrong with you, Oh my

Mark Simpson, Nick E Jack Gillespie,

1851
02:15:58.880 --> 02:16:03.399
I go on, I will,
I can't go on, I'll go

1852
02:16:03.439 --> 02:16:09.800
on. Michael shop pinballa Narjar again
upping the pledge. Hilton, Jonathan Clark,

1853
02:16:11.439 --> 02:16:16.800
murphyer, I think is the way
to pronounce that Ben Brown, Folks,

1854
02:16:16.840 --> 02:16:20.479
the proof is in yes. Dean
writes, It's funny to hear about

1855
02:16:20.520 --> 02:16:24.159
the wrestling coach who became a pro
wrestling promoter. I did youth wrestling when

1856
02:16:24.159 --> 02:16:26.439
I was in elementary school, and
I remember that at the beginning of the

1857
02:16:26.439 --> 02:16:28.920
first practice, I attended the coach
that this isn't like the wrestling you see

1858
02:16:28.960 --> 02:16:33.000
on TV. Right. A few
months later, my phys ed teacher started

1859
02:16:33.000 --> 02:16:35.760
a unit on Greco Roman wrestling and
yelled, if I see you doing any

1860
02:16:35.799 --> 02:16:39.200
that WWF, I'm going to WWF
you right out of this room. Wow.

1861
02:16:39.319 --> 02:16:41.799
As wrestling coaches really had to make
it a point that they don't tolerate

1862
02:16:41.840 --> 02:16:45.040
that fake shit. Yeah, well, that's the only reason anybody showed up,

1863
02:16:45.040 --> 02:16:50.559
so they had to immediately dispel people
of that notion so they didn't feel

1864
02:16:50.600 --> 02:16:52.239
like they were sold a bag of
goods. I'd imagine a bill of goods.

1865
02:16:52.280 --> 02:16:56.680
I should say, yep. This
is a nice moment, pointed out

1866
02:16:56.799 --> 02:17:00.159
in the spirit of TLFX by Adam
on Patreon episode two thirty three, which

1867
02:17:00.200 --> 02:17:05.520
is WWSWS Rustled Dream Part two an
hour ten minutes into an hour thirteen minutes,

1868
02:17:05.559 --> 02:17:11.879
Hogan accuses Jack of trying to talk
to Yoshiaki Yatsu. Jack denies this.

1869
02:17:13.959 --> 02:17:18.639
Hogan claims that the denial is proof
Jack had indeed spoken to the future

1870
02:17:18.680 --> 02:17:22.760
Pride Fighter. Yes, Jack warily
retorts that he only wants a Japanese gatorade.

1871
02:17:24.319 --> 02:17:28.959
Brother, nonplused, the future star
of a celeb sex tape suggests Jack

1872
02:17:28.000 --> 02:17:33.920
tried the Yunagi flavored one, then, without missing a beat, immediately asks

1873
02:17:33.959 --> 02:17:41.799
the erstwhile accused, to get him
one to drink two. After Jack leaves,

1874
02:17:41.360 --> 02:17:50.879
Hogan suspiciously asks him if he's going
to talk to Yatsu. Great shit,

1875
02:17:52.079 --> 02:17:56.360
that's really funny. That's really fucking
wacky. In the archives, oh

1876
02:17:56.440 --> 02:18:00.600
yeah, oh my god, Haystacks
were at a great list from from the

1877
02:18:00.719 --> 02:18:03.600
Archives presenting. I'm going to give
you this. You know, of course,

1878
02:18:05.520 --> 02:18:09.959
the Lamentable tragedy, right, yes, yes, Heaven needed okay,

1879
02:18:09.959 --> 02:18:13.879
Heaven needed a champion. But we
also have said over the years, because

1880
02:18:13.920 --> 02:18:16.680
that sparked it, Heaven needed a
blank. Heaven needed a blank. We

1881
02:18:16.760 --> 02:18:22.559
did that for years after the Lamentable
Oh yeah, and using that lapsed archive

1882
02:18:22.639 --> 02:18:28.680
transcription service lats on Patreon, folks
supported on patreos, he went through and

1883
02:18:28.719 --> 02:18:35.719
found all of the things that Heaven
is needed and most of the things Heaven

1884
02:18:35.760 --> 02:18:43.959
has needed on TLF go ahead,
a champion, Yeah, sure it,

1885
02:18:48.719 --> 02:18:56.280
Oh man, can you have mischief
with that one? An ass whipping a

1886
02:18:56.360 --> 02:19:11.440
lapsed fan. But on tracked,
Heaven needed monetization. That again, Heaven

1887
02:19:11.520 --> 02:19:22.600
needed first last and security said that
Heaven needed a deposit. Heaven needed a

1888
02:19:22.680 --> 02:19:35.000
stuffed trunk. Heaven needed an African
champion. This was a fucking great.

1889
02:19:35.040 --> 02:19:45.159
Heaven needed a boneer boner, okay, a boner. Heaven needed a van

1890
02:19:45.360 --> 02:19:56.639
Eric in the sixth man. Heaven
needed a soundstage, Heaven needed an upper

1891
02:19:56.280 --> 02:20:07.000
Yeah. Heaven needed a downer.
Heaven needed a quelude. Heaven needed a

1892
02:20:07.040 --> 02:20:16.840

crack. Heaven needed eleven million dollars that

1893
02:20:16.959 --> 02:20:20.319
sure, did we all did it? Yes. Heaven needed a parade of

1894
02:20:20.440 --> 02:20:30.680
champions. Heaven needed a cringe.
Heaven needed a doppel Ganger. Heaven needed

1895
02:20:31.120 --> 02:20:39.799
a novelty songwriter. Heaven needed a
car salesman. Heaven needed a forty five.

1896
02:20:43.159 --> 02:20:52.799
Heaven needed my Mom. Heaven needed
a stick man. Heaven needed a

1897
02:20:52.920 --> 02:21:05.799
kid what kidney? Heaven needed a
rebate yea. Heaven needed a temperature controlled

1898
02:21:05.879 --> 02:21:18.120
service the magic of lats. Heaven
needed me to hashtag me too. Uh.

1899
02:21:18.600 --> 02:21:26.360
Heaven needed some get discussed. Heaven
needed some Heaven needed Downtown Dallas.

1900
02:21:28.000 --> 02:21:37.600
Heaven needed a footless man. Heaven
needed a deep dive. Heaven needed a

1901
02:21:37.719 --> 02:21:54.000
social media manager. Heaven needed a
delicacy. Haven't needed a bodega. Heaven

1902
02:21:54.280 --> 02:22:03.639
needed a Sullivan. Yes, Heaven
needed a ring rat. Heaven needed a

1903
02:22:03.920 --> 02:22:16.239
fucking duck corpse. Hm. Heaven

1948
02:27:58.440 --> 02:28:01.319
to be a motor. I have
to ask as they're planned to take the

1949
02:28:01.360 --> 02:28:03.920
Iron Claw under the Cinema. I
perused the IMDb page, did not see

1950
02:28:03.920 --> 02:28:07.920
a cast character listening for Gary Hart
Glenn. This is when before it came

1951
02:28:07.959 --> 02:28:13.200
out Ken Manteller Glenn goes up for
shame thoughts. I mean, of course

1952
02:28:13.239 --> 02:28:16.120
it's a shame that they didn't fucking
you know, use them. But and

1953
02:28:16.239 --> 02:28:22.280
yes, of course, the I
mean Iron Claw is coming under the cinemat.

1954
02:28:22.360 --> 02:28:24.600
Just need a certain amount of time
to pass, right, Yeah,

1955
02:28:24.760 --> 02:28:26.159
yeah, I mean we got to
get we need a little bit more of

1956
02:28:26.200 --> 02:28:31.280
the truth coming out as to the
making of you know, it's it's it's

1957
02:28:31.680 --> 02:28:33.680
uh, not that I'm saying there's
anything bad that happened, but you know,

1958
02:28:33.879 --> 02:28:37.959
stories don't always Yeah, you want
the buy them out right away.

1959
02:28:37.159 --> 02:28:41.120
Yeah, I want to know what
really happened, good or bad, good

1960
02:28:41.159 --> 02:28:46.079
and bad whatever it is. I
like to hear a MJF story about how

1961
02:28:46.079 --> 02:28:48.719
he ended up nowhere anywhere to be
found. I mean, that's just that's

1962
02:28:48.879 --> 02:28:52.639
that's that's Hollywood filmmaking right there.
You know, like you got to cut

1963
02:28:52.680 --> 02:28:58.200
things for time, you never know. Yeah, but uh, I mean

1964
02:28:58.399 --> 02:29:03.520
yeah, I would be Yeah,
I mean I'm curious to see how you

1965
02:29:03.559 --> 02:29:09.680
know, what why he uh uh
wasn't in it more? Any of the

1966
02:29:09.680 --> 02:29:15.600
stories that happened behind the scenes.
Yeah, yeah, really interesting. Back

1967
02:29:15.600 --> 02:29:18.040
on the progressing tease, Tip Kevin
writes, Jack and JP, I didn't

1968
02:29:18.079 --> 02:29:20.719
start in my journey until the Pandemic. I finally caught up with the cast

1969
02:29:20.879 --> 02:29:22.840
in the Pandemic era. I first
bought my I bought my first three shirts

1970
02:29:22.840 --> 02:29:26.680
in twenty twenty one for my buddy, two for me. I heard recently

1971
02:29:26.680 --> 02:29:28.719
you two talking about someone who bought
the adult version of the Pimp King of

1972
02:29:28.760 --> 02:29:33.479
the Cad shirt. Yes, few, the few, the proud Boss.

1973
02:29:33.639 --> 02:29:37.200
I received my all Me Sawa Championship
Wrestling shit today, so I decided to

1974
02:29:37.200 --> 02:29:41.159
snap my growing collection. I supported
Golden Sword Gordon solely uncensored. Thank you

1975
02:29:41.200 --> 02:29:45.920
for all the hours of paid and
laughter. Praise be the Warlord and good

1976
02:29:46.000 --> 02:29:50.159
ship barf Hendrix too. Oh I
love it. Got the deep cut in

1977
02:29:50.200 --> 02:29:52.120
the collection. Oh that's amazing.
Yeah, pim King of the Cad.

1978
02:29:52.200 --> 02:29:56.600
That's a tough one to buy,
man, it is that it is when

1979
02:29:56.600 --> 02:30:01.959
you get the fucking you got the
uh the stripper with the with the tassels

1980
02:30:01.959 --> 02:30:05.559
on her tits? What's the Sonco
pain shirt? Someone just bought that and

1981
02:30:05.680 --> 02:30:09.239
I don't even remember that one.
Uh yeah, I mean I did do

1982
02:30:09.879 --> 02:30:15.959
I did do a son Co Oh
yeah, yeah, there it is.

1983
02:30:16.159 --> 02:30:18.520
Wow. I wonder who the fuck
that is? Why would someone buy that?

1984
02:30:18.520 --> 02:30:22.159
That's fascinating. I mean, and
I believe it was bought by a

1985
02:30:22.239 --> 02:30:26.879
woman. Yes it was. I'm
actually for her husband or her boyfriend or

1986
02:30:26.879 --> 02:30:33.799
something. Fascinating, fascinating old anything
you need on it, Yes, that's

1987
02:30:33.879 --> 02:30:35.840
right. I mean, what's the
problem with that? I can't tell that

1988
02:30:35.920 --> 02:30:39.440
much joy gives me when someone buys
one of those deep shirts. Oh,

1989
02:30:39.600 --> 02:30:43.319
I mean when someone buys a fucking
Sonco shirt. That's a whole different level.

1990
02:30:45.440 --> 02:30:48.440
That's a whole different level, faster
than Chuck Wrights. I just watched

1991
02:30:48.440 --> 02:30:50.959
a YouTube video making fun of old
wrestling games, and I shit, you

1992
02:30:52.000 --> 02:30:54.200
not in w W Thunder. If
you hold your player selector cursor on Kevin

1993
02:30:54.239 --> 02:30:58.360
Nash long enough, he tells you
not to pick him because he's already made

1994
02:30:58.360 --> 02:31:03.520
his money for being in the video
gaming. Wow. Sounds on brand.

1995
02:31:05.520 --> 02:31:09.559
Marcus Crouds, thanks for the cake, Aaron Busby, thank you very much.

1996
02:31:09.799 --> 02:31:16.159
Bryce bar two and Haiko Nichols Junior
and Stephen Milkowski and Alexander Slocum and

1997
02:31:16.399 --> 02:31:22.319
connelingis Grand Prix World Champion of the
World brother. Exactly very concerning. Thank

1998
02:31:22.360 --> 02:31:26.799

to that one the Hammer meet h thank

1999
02:31:26.840 --> 02:31:33.719
you very much for your support.
Raymond Barone also had to put an increased

2000
02:31:33.719 --> 02:31:43.399
spread punch down. It's actually Joe
who writes fellas Joe from Denton here County

2001
02:31:43.399 --> 02:31:48.159
seat of Denton County, home to
von Erics, about thirty miles north of

2002
02:31:48.280 --> 02:31:50.840
Dallas. Yes, I work for
University of North Texas where one Steve Williams

2003
02:31:50.879 --> 02:31:54.360
played ball. I'm still looking for
some kind of plaque or something on campus

2004
02:31:54.360 --> 02:31:56.200
dedicated to him. There has to
be something. Lapsed Austin by Jack is

2005
02:31:56.239 --> 02:31:58.520
one of my favorite characters, by
the way, always at the damn house

2006
02:31:58.559 --> 02:32:01.559
and whatnot, or going on about
how he almost broke his damn neck.

2007
02:32:01.680 --> 02:32:07.040
I'm loving the Lapsed Funk series.
I've been talking to myself in that kind

2008
02:32:07.040 --> 02:32:09.840
of high pitched monotone Terry Funk Hank
Hill accent NonStop while I do chores around

2009
02:32:09.840 --> 02:32:13.760
the damn house. That voice replaced
my lapsed brick flair voice, where I

2010
02:32:13.760 --> 02:32:16.760
would just mumble the words sea breezels
and rum and cookes over and over again.

2011
02:32:16.799 --> 02:32:20.879
Wilt's doing chores and listening to TLF. That's the fucking magic, Joe,

2012
02:32:20.920 --> 02:32:24.200
you got it. Figure it out, be efficient and be entertained at

2013
02:32:24.239 --> 02:32:26.280
the same time. Anyway, I
just stopped from ten to five to ten

2014
02:32:26.319 --> 02:32:30.680
a month since I got a pitty
raise. You get a pitty raise.

2015
02:32:30.760 --> 02:32:33.799
No money on my education boys,
Happy holidays, Thanks Joe, appreciate your

2016
02:32:33.799 --> 02:32:41.000
support. Man. Glad to hear
that we're we're delivering for you. Remember

2017
02:32:41.000 --> 02:32:43.600
when we did Art of War Games
and John Zandig was hung by his skin?

2018
02:32:45.000 --> 02:32:48.079
Oh yes, Chris writes to us, I just listened to your Art

2019
02:32:48.120 --> 02:32:52.120
of War Games about CZW. I
was cracking up. A friend of mine

2020
02:32:52.159 --> 02:32:54.440
was a body piercer. He was
also a photographer for CCW for a while,

2021
02:32:54.479 --> 02:32:58.319
and later a performer. He's the
one who helped orchestrate this. Oh

2022
02:33:00.159 --> 02:33:03.440
done very safely. In reality,
You're right, suspensions aren't as bad as

2023
02:33:03.440 --> 02:33:07.280
they look. The weed whackers and
broken glass are in reality far worse.

2024
02:33:07.520 --> 02:33:11.840
But this is visually worse to those
unfamiliar. The crowd was genuinely upset.

2025
02:33:11.920 --> 02:33:15.959
It was pretty funny, actually,
was it pointless? Oh, absolutely,

2026
02:33:16.360 --> 02:33:18.559
But the time it was just a
way to appear more extreme. Right or

2027
02:33:18.559 --> 02:33:20.879
wrong. I didn't care. Wasn't
my thing? I do understand. I

2028
02:33:20.920 --> 02:33:26.879
mean safe or not? Okay,
here's the thing. A guy's flesh was

2029
02:33:28.079 --> 02:33:33.520
pierced by a hook. Correct,
multiple hooks. Correct. I don't.

2030
02:33:33.159 --> 02:33:39.440
I'm not interested in safety. I'm
interested in not doing that. It's as

2031
02:33:39.440 --> 02:33:45.440
if you pinched the skin and we're
able to pull up hard and strong enough

2032
02:33:45.479 --> 02:33:54.840
that it stretched like a piece of
pizza cheese. I'm not interested. I

2033
02:33:54.879 --> 02:33:56.840
wish he raised his hand. We
were doing out of war games. I

2034
02:33:56.840 --> 02:34:00.520
would love to have gotten an interview
in with how that's pulled off. Right.

2035
02:34:01.040 --> 02:34:03.680
He thought it was funny that everyone
was fine with all the bloody gore,

2036
02:34:03.799 --> 02:34:05.920
but this was too much. Yeah, I mean that's what they were

2037
02:34:05.959 --> 02:34:09.319
going for. They were trying to
find that line, and they found it.

2038
02:34:09.399 --> 02:34:15.200
You ever gonna show Mama sorrow that? No, because I don't think

2039
02:34:15.200 --> 02:34:18.760
I want to watch that again.
There you go, fair. Brian writes

2040
02:34:18.760 --> 02:34:26.319
to us a night at the theater. Oh boy, here we go to

2041
02:34:26.399 --> 02:34:30.639
the co chairs. I just wanted
to say write in and said to say

2042
02:34:30.639 --> 02:34:33.799
thank you for a wonderful evening.
Of Live Theater this past weekend. This

2043
02:34:33.920 --> 02:34:37.719
is oh, I haven't King of
the Jews featuring the Price. Although I

2044
02:34:37.719 --> 02:34:41.840
haven't watched wrestling in over two decades, my intense fandom during that glorious period

2045
02:34:41.840 --> 02:34:46.920
from ninety seven to two thousand and
one burned bright imprinting on my psych you

2046
02:34:46.959 --> 02:34:50.239
to the point where I still listen
almost exclusively to podcasts of people talking about

2047
02:34:50.239 --> 02:34:54.440
wrestling from twenty five years ago.
Anything before ninety seven, I only had

2048
02:34:54.440 --> 02:35:01.239
only vague memories of watching over my
brother's older brother's shoulder. Post two thousand

2049
02:35:01.239 --> 02:35:03.959
and one, I couldn't bring myself
to watch anymore once Austin hugged McMahon,

2050
02:35:05.440 --> 02:35:09.159
and so I had only the handwritten
recaps of Raw and SmackDown that my younger

2051
02:35:09.200 --> 02:35:11.559
sister would put together for me each
week. Until two thousand and three.

2052
02:35:13.440 --> 02:35:16.520
I have been a TLF listener for
years, but I must admit that sometimes

2053
02:35:16.959 --> 02:35:20.680
that I sometimes get intimidated by your
epic journeys and their length, their girth,

2054
02:35:22.280 --> 02:35:26.440
which can at times seem daunting,
the downside of my joyful obsession with

2055
02:35:26.479 --> 02:35:31.840
TLF is that no matter how long
a life I lead, I know I

2056
02:35:31.879 --> 02:35:35.200
will be dead and buried before I
ever make a dent in the thousands of

2057
02:35:35.280 --> 02:35:39.760
hours of content thrust upon me to
point I've done the math, and at

2058
02:35:39.799 --> 02:35:48.000
my current pace, there is just
no way that being said, I have

2059
02:35:48.079 --> 02:35:52.440
dedicated every free moment of the past
month taking the ninety seven WWE journey,

2060
02:35:52.840 --> 02:35:58.440
and it has been a revelation,
having not seen these shows in decades.

2061
02:35:58.479 --> 02:36:01.639
I remember the details you described like
it was yesterday. But more importantly,

2062
02:36:01.719 --> 02:36:05.719
each episode introduces me to new lapsed
character moments I never knew I needed in

2063
02:36:05.719 --> 02:36:11.520
my life. From Sid calmly explaining
to Vince that he has no intention of

2064
02:36:11.520 --> 02:36:18.000
fulfilling the dates on his current contract, to Austin explaining what neapolitan ice cream

2065
02:36:18.120 --> 02:36:24.159
is to JR. That's funny,
vanilla? What chocolate? What strawberry?

2066
02:36:24.200 --> 02:36:30.440
Watt to Vader in the rain telling
us what time it is, before immediately

2067
02:36:30.440 --> 02:36:35.479
slipping out of character, oh my
gosh backstage during wrestling with Shadows to detail

2068
02:36:35.520 --> 02:36:41.159
his latest real estate development project.
No matter what I am doing or saying

2069
02:36:41.200 --> 02:36:45.879
throughout the day, those characters are
in my head. Regardless of how far

2070
02:36:45.959 --> 02:36:48.799
I've gotten from my years of peak
fandom in the nineties, it seems clear

2071
02:36:50.559 --> 02:36:54.360
that the whole this business has over
my life will never be relinquished. I

2072
02:36:54.440 --> 02:36:58.639
call both of my toddler daughters brother
and dude. Toddler daughters brother and dude

2073
02:37:00.959 --> 02:37:03.760
with such frequency that they have now
taken to addressing me as the same.

2074
02:37:05.680 --> 02:37:09.600
My wife has become accustomed to being
referred to almost exclusively as mister hitman.

2075
02:37:09.920 --> 02:37:15.399
Yes. Even the woman at the
drive through has to put up with me

2076
02:37:15.559 --> 02:37:20.760
ordering a lie right yaw, and
I don't even like coffee. Yeah,

2077
02:37:20.760 --> 02:37:24.399
sorry about that one. That one's
a yes. Because I am hundreds of

2078
02:37:24.399 --> 02:37:28.159
episodes behind and listening, I had
no idea that the Boss would be appearing

2079
02:37:28.200 --> 02:37:31.479
live and in person right in our
own backyard this month. Thankfully, my

2080
02:37:31.559 --> 02:37:35.639
wife must have taken to heart the
fact that I had been wandering the house

2081
02:37:35.719 --> 02:37:41.000
for weeks repeating the phrase I went
back, Yes, I went back in

2082
02:37:41.040 --> 02:37:45.840
a very distinctive Minnesota accent. Although
never having watched a single second of pro

2083
02:37:45.920 --> 02:37:48.440
wrestling or listened to a minute of
TLF, she was able to deduce,

2084
02:37:48.479 --> 02:37:52.719
through the magic of Twitter that an
esteemed code chair would be in town as

2085
02:37:52.760 --> 02:37:56.719
a birthday present. My father could
appreciate my wife, Oh, any father

2086
02:37:56.719 --> 02:38:01.120
could appreciate my wife gifted me not
all with a ticket to the show this

2087
02:38:01.120 --> 02:38:05.319
past Saturday, but also an excuse
to spend the entire day by myself in

2088
02:38:05.319 --> 02:38:09.760
New York City, left totally to
my own devices. I spent most of

2089
02:38:09.760 --> 02:38:13.079
it wandering Chinatown, and perhaps it
was something in the air that day,

2090
02:38:13.120 --> 02:38:20.840
but I just could not escape the
Federation. I stopped in a thrift store

2091
02:38:20.920 --> 02:38:28.879
and was greeted by an oversized Sean
Michael's doll, the one with the plush

2092
02:38:28.040 --> 02:38:33.600
body and plastic head, with slicked
back mid nineties hair and grotesque proportions.

2093
02:38:35.319 --> 02:38:39.319
I wandered through a martial arts supply
shop and was faced with obscure looks on

2094
02:38:41.159 --> 02:38:46.680
Comma and double Axe technique. I
meandered down a small side street and looked

2095
02:38:46.719 --> 02:38:50.639
up to see the sign I expected. I was at the corner of Baxter

2096
02:38:50.799 --> 02:38:58.559
Street and Hogan Place. Brother Oh, before long, it was showtime.

2097
02:38:58.600 --> 02:39:01.159
I arrived the theater and took a
seat at a table near the stage.

2098
02:39:01.559 --> 02:39:05.360
The cast members began to trickle in, and then there he was the Boss.

2099
02:39:05.600 --> 02:39:09.120
Yes, I already knew the incredible
talent I would be witnessing from the

2100
02:39:09.120 --> 02:39:16.159
countless conversations I had heard between two
completely distinct characters toggled everlessly by one man.

2101
02:39:16.239 --> 02:39:20.879
But I was not expecting to see
the Boss Hunter up to the stage

2102
02:39:20.280 --> 02:39:26.200
and immediately sit down to join a
jazz ensemble and begin playing a brass wind

2103
02:39:26.239 --> 02:39:31.000
instrument I've never seen before. That
is the first scene. My understanding of

2104
02:39:31.079 --> 02:39:35.639
JP's drue talent was that was,
at that moment taken to the next level.

2105
02:39:35.760 --> 02:39:39.479
And that was ever even before he
took out an entirely different brass wind

2106
02:39:39.520 --> 02:39:46.680
instrument. I started like that,
Boss, I knew you would. Oh

2107
02:39:46.719 --> 02:39:52.559
shit, oh god. My appreciation
for this man's talent continue to go off

2108
02:39:52.559 --> 02:39:56.159
the charts into a new realm during
the preceding two plus hours on stage,

2109
02:39:56.159 --> 02:40:00.159
showcasing an incredible range of emotions,
all while doing a very specific accident and

2110
02:40:00.239 --> 02:40:03.760
even dipping into song at one point. You know, it's one of those

2111
02:40:03.799 --> 02:40:09.000
things you don't really realize. You
know. What I find funny is I

2112
02:40:09.040 --> 02:40:13.959
don't even think of it as being
a big deal, just doing the ship

2113
02:40:15.040 --> 02:40:18.520
that I did in the show.
I can't do it successful enough if you

2114
02:40:18.520 --> 02:40:20.239
do. Yeah, I didn't,
you know, I didn't even think,

2115
02:40:20.360 --> 02:40:24.440
you know, I didn't even think
twice. But I'm very appreciative of this

2116
02:40:24.520 --> 02:40:28.760
email. This is a great email, and I you know, I'm always

2117
02:40:28.760 --> 02:40:31.040
a fan of stroking my own ego
at times. It's good to see yourself

2118
02:40:31.079 --> 02:40:35.000
through others eyes, you know,
Yeah, absolutely is it absolutely is.

2119
02:40:35.079 --> 02:40:41.280
Absolutely you can't. I see enough
negativity on through other people's eyes about ours,

2120
02:40:41.319 --> 02:40:46.440
about us, So it's fine,
you know, truly truly unbelievable to

2121
02:40:46.440 --> 02:40:50.360
finally get to witness this level of
talent in person, after so many hours

2122
02:40:50.399 --> 02:40:54.399
spent listening each and every week,
I was lucky enough to catch JP outside

2123
02:40:54.440 --> 02:40:56.719
the theater of the show after the
show, and while I am sure I

2124
02:40:56.719 --> 02:41:00.479
stumbled over my words and have no
idea what I even said, Cat,

2125
02:41:00.479 --> 02:41:03.360
such a warm and friendly interaction with
the boss was a wonderful caper to an

2126
02:41:03.399 --> 02:41:05.200
amazing evening of theater. I remember
that it was great. It was really

2127
02:41:05.280 --> 02:41:15.319
nice, you know, especially because
it was someone you know, not part

2128
02:41:15.360 --> 02:41:18.239
of the group that came. Yeah. Yeah, this is a totally independent

2129
02:41:18.239 --> 02:41:22.600
ticket buyer. And I'm always I
I say this if you, if if

2130
02:41:22.600 --> 02:41:26.360
I'm in a show and you're around, please let me know. I will

2131
02:41:26.559 --> 02:41:31.559
always I like coming out and hanging
out with people after the show and seeing

2132
02:41:31.600 --> 02:41:35.280
people and I'm as you know,
believe it or not. I mean,

2133
02:41:37.000 --> 02:41:39.399
I am very appreciative when people make
the effort to come out and see it's

2134
02:41:39.440 --> 02:41:43.040
so great hitting the after we did
that, Oh it was so much fun.

2135
02:41:43.159 --> 02:41:45.920
Good fucking cats and ship afterwards was
a plan. Mow tier, get

2136
02:41:45.920 --> 02:41:48.159
together, walk in the streets.
Just bullshit, stupid. It is great.

2137
02:41:48.239 --> 02:41:52.040
Fucking eating a ship ton of fucking
corn beef overdid it big time.

2138
02:41:52.799 --> 02:41:54.799
Let's got to eat before the show, and then after the show, let's

2139
02:41:56.079 --> 02:41:58.399
to cats. Yeah, let's eat
more. Let's eat like actually ten times

2140
02:41:58.399 --> 02:42:01.079
more than we're going to eat.
Then we ate at the fucking Burger place.

2141
02:42:01.120 --> 02:42:03.920
That's that mote to your benefit,
folks, only select few got the

2142
02:42:03.959 --> 02:42:07.760
invite. That's the way it's going
to have to be. Thank you for

2143
02:42:07.799 --> 02:42:11.040
all the countless moments throughout the day
when I think of something you both said

2144
02:42:11.040 --> 02:42:15.639
and kind of stop smiling, even
when that day has otherwise got me down.

2145
02:42:15.719 --> 02:42:20.280
You're dueling awesome impressions during this ninety
seven journey will light up even the

2146
02:42:20.399 --> 02:42:22.520
darkest corners of my life for the
rest of my days. And now I

2147
02:42:22.600 --> 02:42:28.840
began the twenty plus hour Montreal deep
dive for the first time. Sincerely,

2148

that I am able to contribute, I

2149

lapsed audiobook of the two thousand and six

don't know what the fuck that is.

2151
02:42:39.360 --> 02:42:45.520
I don't know what that is either. All right, interesting interesting notion there,

2152
02:42:45.639 --> 02:42:50.959
interesting notion. So thanks very much, great email. Yeah, big

2162
02:43:35.040 --> 02:43:39.520
listened to you guys for thirty thousand
minutes in twenty twenty three. If you're

2163
02:43:39.520 --> 02:43:41.200
trying to be in my ass that
hard and long, I better nut up.

2164

You can do better than that,
Yeah, I know you can.

2165
02:43:45.920 --> 02:43:48.040
Mike writes two things that have destroyed
my sides recently in The Lapsed Fan.

2166
02:43:48.120 --> 02:43:52.559
First, when JP was doing his
Abbey impression and slipped in a you know,

2167
02:43:52.879 --> 02:43:58.600
and it sounded very Nashurally. The
thought of a nash Abby synthesis tickles

2168
02:43:58.639 --> 02:44:01.159
me away that I can't describe.
Please, for the love of all things,

2169
02:44:01.520 --> 02:44:05.920
I need to hear JP's Abbey voice
saying nash things. Snacks, money,

2170
02:44:05.760 --> 02:44:18.760
I don't ten. Motherfucker's not about
you. Uh. What's the only

2171
02:44:18.840 --> 02:44:24.600
thing that is real is the money
and the mine. It's Kevin learned at

2172
02:44:24.600 --> 02:44:37.639
all. Uh, you know,
motherfucker is not all about you. Eat

2173
02:44:37.079 --> 02:44:48.319
something anything about French connection, maybe
French press connections. Fucking I'd like to

2174
02:44:48.719 --> 02:44:54.799
I'm a big fan of, you
know, the Gene Hackman film. Always

2175
02:44:54.920 --> 02:45:05.120
whenever I get practice about it,
I get the French toast and the French

2176
02:45:05.200 --> 02:45:09.399
toast connection with that Dulo Butcher.
Yes, I think that's look, I

2177
02:45:09.399 --> 02:45:13.920
think you know what that is.
It's absolutely correct me. This guy,

2178
02:45:13.559 --> 02:45:18.600
the French toast plates that he has
put down the fucking oh fucking Christ,

2179
02:45:18.639 --> 02:45:22.719
the diners that didn't stand a fucking
chance when the Abbey mobile pulled into the

2180
02:45:22.719 --> 02:45:26.600
fucking parking lot. Think of the
amount of butter lost on this man.

02:46:28.719 --> 02:46:35.040
Emily, and of course David Prows. Another thing Mike said, besides the

2196
02:46:35.079 --> 02:46:41.319
Abbey thing, second contemplating suicide with
Jack Briscoe. I never considered how funny

2197
02:46:41.319 --> 02:46:43.879
it would be to imagine Jack brisco
of all people, contemplating suicide while he

2198
02:46:43.959 --> 02:46:48.239
runs down the mundane nous of his
life. But here we are. There's

2199
02:46:48.280 --> 02:46:54.040
some sleepers in that NW a old
title episode of the Last Yeah, yeah,

2200
02:46:54.200 --> 02:46:56.719
I think those that to get us
yep, yep, I mean,

2201
02:46:56.719 --> 02:47:01.319
I think that's just the nature of
Jack Briscoe, to imagine him narrating his

2202
02:47:01.399 --> 02:47:05.200
memoirs, Mike writes in a scene
not unlike Brooks from Shashank Redemption, when

2203
02:47:05.200 --> 02:47:07.840
he steps on the chair and hangs
himself. Yes, yes, Jess Risco

2204
02:47:09.079 --> 02:47:13.760
was here, Jack, right,
brisk yess exactly. Yes. This is

2205
02:47:13.760 --> 02:47:20.239
from Fred Peter Weller and Capitol Combat
nineteen ninety Return of RoboCop. Yes,

2206
02:47:20.639 --> 02:47:22.879
DeReKo Chairman. I'm out of New
Orleans Fan XPO and just met Peter Weller.

2207
02:47:24.760 --> 02:47:26.319
I'm a history teacher and got him
to talk by asking him about his

2208
02:47:26.399 --> 02:47:30.479
PhD in Renaissance history. After I
took my picture, I had to ask

2209
02:47:30.520 --> 02:47:33.440
him if it was him in the
suit of Capitol Combat ninety. He jokingly

2210
02:47:33.479 --> 02:47:37.399
put his head down in sighed when
I mentioned I was a wrestling fan.

2211
02:47:37.479 --> 02:47:39.680
That you get, by the way, Fred, that's right, that's right.

2212
02:47:39.719 --> 02:47:46.879
Fucking get a complete listen. He
now totally regrets is spending. He

2213
02:47:46.959 --> 02:47:52.920
knew better than to warm up his
days. God forgetting that he ever talked

2214
02:47:52.959 --> 02:48:01.360
to you. Ah, His goal
is to forget it's you. It was

2215
02:48:01.399 --> 02:48:05.200
adamant that it was not him in
the costume. He then went on to

2216
02:48:05.239 --> 02:48:09.559
say that people got sued, especially
in Japan, for copyright and infringement.

2217
02:48:09.600 --> 02:48:11.840
Not sure what he's referring to,
he stated that people in Japan say stuff

2218
02:48:11.840 --> 02:48:16.280
because they don't think people in America
will find out or hold him legally responsible.

2219
02:48:16.680 --> 02:48:20.440
I'd my tongue about what Hogan said
in Japan about the IGP Championship versus

2220
02:48:20.479 --> 02:48:24.239
the WWF Championship. Yeah, I
don't think that would have done you any

2221
02:48:24.239 --> 02:48:28.399
favors with Peter Well, yeah who. So you know that's always a subject

2222
02:48:28.399 --> 02:48:31.120
of speculation. I think we settled
it pretty strongly, RoboCop under the cinemat

2223
02:48:31.120 --> 02:48:33.840
that it was not him. Yes, it's not him, but it's not

2224
02:48:33.959 --> 02:48:37.639
him. But if you need to
hear a dispatch from a Great Solar System

2225
02:48:37.639 --> 02:48:41.479
member, making sure to keep us
in mind and checking out the box in

2226
02:48:41.520 --> 02:48:45.959
person, there it is. I
love it. Boss, Let's hit.

2227
02:48:46.079 --> 02:48:48.680
Let's hit Neil Forbes's email. I'm
not sure we're going to be able to

2228
02:48:48.680 --> 02:48:52.200
play the link, but we can
tell people about it and they can check

2229
02:48:52.200 --> 02:48:56.879
it out if they wish. Greeting
his code chairs. I hope you and

2230
02:48:56.959 --> 02:49:00.520
your families are well. I mean, I'm a bit behind the podcast.

2231
02:49:00.600 --> 02:49:03.959
Your work ethic continues to be enviable, but I must say the Lapsed Funk

2232
02:49:03.040 --> 02:49:07.840
Journey is some of your best work
yet. I'm a bit of a I'm

2233
02:49:07.840 --> 02:49:11.639
a bit young to ever see much
of Terry Funk's career, although amusingly,

2234
02:49:11.680 --> 02:49:15.360
if you ask my mother to name
five wrestlers. I guarantee you she would

2235
02:49:15.360 --> 02:49:20.360
include Chainsaw Charlie in that list.
She was obviously in the room during that

2236
02:49:20.440 --> 02:49:24.879
episode of Raw and found it hilarious. But what more do I need to

2237
02:49:24.920 --> 02:49:30.680
say? TIEF transports me into different
places and times and lets me properly appreciate

2238
02:49:30.760 --> 02:49:35.000
this legend. Now, none of
these other wrestling podcasters, because it could

2239
02:49:35.040 --> 02:49:37.840
succeed in this goal. They quite
simply do not have the skill, the

2240
02:49:37.840 --> 02:49:45.280
work, ethic, or indeed the
balls to do. So yeah, fuck

2241
02:49:45.399 --> 02:49:50.040
them. There's only one wrestling podcast
that matters, that's right, only one

2242
02:49:50.120 --> 02:49:56.280
that is fuck them, only one
that is going to stand the test of

2243
02:49:56.360 --> 02:50:01.319
time far in the future. Will
be Really, we listen to TLF on

2244
02:50:01.399 --> 02:50:07.520
our fucking deathbeds now wanted something sillier. It's quite possible someone already pointed us

2245
02:50:07.520 --> 02:50:11.520
out, and if so, just
ignore this male. But I recently heard

2246
02:50:11.639 --> 02:50:16.680
Metallica's nineteen ninety eight cover version of
the song Whiskey in the Jar. The

2247
02:50:16.760 --> 02:50:18.760
music video for this played all the
time on the rock stations when I was

2248
02:50:18.760 --> 02:50:22.440
growing up. At this time.
There was something extra special about it because

2249
02:50:22.479 --> 02:50:31.360
this was my first time hearing the
song since the TNAH journey Oh. Vocalist

2250
02:50:31.559 --> 02:50:39.200
James Hetfield's prominent ad libs are particularly
exaggerated in this performance. Go to the

2251
02:50:39.200 --> 02:50:45.520
start of the chorus at two thirty
one in the official video. Okay,

2252
02:50:45.680 --> 02:50:58.040
I'm now opening it up. This
is an ad rather skip two thirty one,

2253
02:50:58.079 --> 02:51:01.319
he said, for the sounds like
the fucking funk theme right there.

2254
02:51:01.360 --> 02:51:11.399
It does. But anyway, two
thirty one, here we go. Let's

2255
02:51:11.399 --> 02:51:24.680
see what goes on here. Whoa
you mean? It sounds just like it?

2256
02:51:24.680 --> 02:51:39.879
It does suit again, that's awesome. Oh that's funny. That's very

2257
02:51:39.920 --> 02:51:43.479
TNH. Well done, great dispatch. Wait to keep your ear to the

2258
02:51:43.520 --> 02:51:46.079
ground. Pal, Thank you you, and thank you Burning Hammer and Chris

2268
02:52:28.799 --> 02:52:35.000
How about seriously Vernon coming out at
the fucking mote tier level right out

2269
02:52:35.000 --> 02:52:39.280
of the gate, and writes deer
coach chairman, I trust this message finds

2270
02:52:39.319 --> 02:52:41.719
you well. My name is Jeffrey, though in the wrestling circle I go

2271
02:52:41.799 --> 02:52:45.559
by Vernon. I recent made the
decision to step away from free loading after

2272
02:52:45.559 --> 02:52:48.399
finding inspiration in your Collision in Korea
episode Jack's word struck a chord with me

2273
02:52:50.200 --> 02:52:52.440
put my money where my mouth is
as a true consumer, not a freeloader,

2274
02:52:54.159 --> 02:52:56.280
and I'm delighted to express my deep
appreciation by becoming a Mote Tear member.

2275
02:52:56.319 --> 02:52:58.920
From day one, my journey with
your podcast began as I sought an

2276
02:53:00.000 --> 02:53:03.280
alternative to my weekly Jim Cornett episodes, which have been a staple since twenty

2277
02:53:03.280 --> 02:53:05.920
sixteen. While I've explored various wrestling
podcasts over the years, your stood out

2278
02:53:07.040 --> 02:53:09.840
with the insane deep dive you did
in TNH. When I heard the announcement

2279
02:53:09.840 --> 02:53:11.479
clip and wanted to see how anyone
could discuss Hull, COGD and TNA at

2280
02:53:11.520 --> 02:53:16.360
such length. Needless to say,
I became obsessed. Your in depth explorations

2281
02:53:16.360 --> 02:53:20.360
of the sport of kings has become
the soundtrack to my daily routine as a

2282
02:53:20.360 --> 02:53:22.280
self proclaimed wrestling story and among my
friends. My fandom dates back to the

2283
02:53:22.280 --> 02:53:26.840
early nineties growing up in the Bronx. My fondest memory is cheering on hul

2284
02:53:26.879 --> 02:53:30.040
Cogan from the Nosebleeds of MSG for
the one show my grandfather and father took

2285
02:53:30.079 --> 02:53:33.879
me to my family. Immigrants from
Nicaragua during the contrast Sendenista conflict, added

2286
02:53:33.879 --> 02:53:39.040
a unique perspective to my wrestling journey. Despite language barriers, my grandfather introduced

2287
02:53:39.040 --> 02:53:41.639
me to the world of wrestling,
creating a cherished tradition of bonding over weekly

2288
02:53:41.680 --> 02:53:45.840
TV and my daily bombarding him to
tell me more stories. He often talked

2289
02:53:45.840 --> 02:53:48.159
to me about Olsanto and Blue Demon. I was learning all those stories about

2290
02:53:48.239 --> 02:53:52.399
legends and about things I had never
seen, but fell deeper in love with

2291
02:53:52.440 --> 02:53:54.559
because he loved it so much.
I developed my Spanish speaking as well as

2292
02:53:54.559 --> 02:53:58.680
my love of wrestling. School life
demands took over during my seniorear of high

2293
02:53:58.680 --> 02:54:01.799
school and O two, so I
stopped watching WWL together. My wrestling passion

2294
02:54:01.840 --> 02:54:05.000
resurfaced in college after my grandfather's sudden
death. Being lapsed, I was lost

2295
02:54:05.079 --> 02:54:09.680
until four I discovered the early wrestling
internet radio shows. I explored Japanese wrestling,

2296
02:54:09.680 --> 02:54:13.920
any wrestling, and embraced the world
of tape trading. I realized much

2297
02:54:13.920 --> 02:54:18.239
of what I enjoyed about wrestling and
is the communal part and getting to talk

2298
02:54:18.239 --> 02:54:20.120
about it and argue with my friends. In that small way, The IWC

2299
02:54:20.280 --> 02:54:24.079
became my secret friends that I could
talk about wrestling while still getting to be

2300
02:54:24.120 --> 02:54:28.559
a cool college guy while wrestling nerd. At the same time, I am

2301
02:54:28.600 --> 02:54:31.120
a pastor, and of course,
my wrestling passion became intertwined with my studies.

2302
02:54:31.159 --> 02:54:35.239
During my final semester of getting my
master's Boston University School of Theology,

2303
02:54:35.280 --> 02:54:41.000
I pursued pro wrestling training in Rhode
Island, while my ring aspirations shifted to

2304
02:54:41.040 --> 02:54:43.079
being a manager due to my athletic
limitations. It brought me joy and some

2305
02:54:43.120 --> 02:54:48.479
mild success pro wrestling and became the
focus of my doctoral project titled Getting Over

2306
02:54:48.000 --> 02:54:54.360
Leadership Lessons from two Corinthians and Territory
Professional Wrestling. My paper was approved and

2307
02:54:54.399 --> 02:54:58.559
wrestling helped me become a doctor.
I shared the snippet of my journey to

2308
02:54:58.559 --> 02:55:01.639
express my gratitude for what I've learned
about your story and to convey my thanks

2309
02:55:01.680 --> 02:55:05.799
with both words and some support in
the form of cash. Best regards,

2310
02:55:07.479 --> 02:55:13.760
Vernon, tremendous story, tremendous origin
story. Yep, it's happening out there

2311
02:55:13.799 --> 02:55:18.799
every single day, every single time
we pick up the mic. It's to

2312
02:55:18.879 --> 02:55:24.399
see through things like that and wrapping
up here Cold Stone, Steve Austin.

2313
02:55:24.600 --> 02:55:33.079
I loved Mama Sorrow referring to Big
Boss Man as mister Boston. Oh God.

2314
02:55:33.280 --> 02:55:37.719
Even better was her asking who's the
blue guy walking around like he's having

2315
02:55:37.719 --> 02:55:41.920
his nails done? Yes, what
a bizarre, but hilarious and accurate way

2316
02:55:41.959 --> 02:55:48.879
to describe Achem. Yes, like
he's having his nails done. That's true

2317
02:55:48.639 --> 02:55:54.920
at the wrist, Yeah, it
makes total sense. I had no problem

2318
02:55:54.920 --> 02:55:58.559
with that whatsoever. The live calls
continued to drop. We did our rumble

2319
02:55:58.680 --> 02:56:03.520
duty this year and Andre Andre picked
this up. There's never been a more

2320
02:56:03.520 --> 02:56:07.280
prophetic live call in history like there
was with this one. Between Jack calling,

2321
02:56:07.280 --> 02:56:09.719
the t Anda involvement and JP's dating
Punk would tear something and not make

2322
02:56:09.719 --> 02:56:16.760
it to Mania. Yep, just
another reason why there's only one fucking cast.

2323
02:56:16.399 --> 02:56:20.319
Yes, and Stephen, on that
same live call writes, finally,

2324
02:56:20.319 --> 02:56:24.799
after almost eight years, the co
chairs have popped the Missus Rumble twenty four

2325
02:56:24.840 --> 02:56:31.840
call our truth entrance. Mmm,
price is right theme, Well, it's

2326
02:56:31.879 --> 02:56:37.760
a family feud, But I digress, and we close this episode with Steve

2327
02:56:37.799 --> 02:56:43.559
and Saint Louis greeting's co chairs.
My tale of Lapstom is one as old

2328
02:56:43.559 --> 02:56:48.520
as time. I described myself as
thrice lapsed, the first being in nineteen

2329
02:56:48.559 --> 02:56:52.680
ninety three when I started getting hair
in my crotch and the product was pissed

2330
02:56:52.680 --> 02:56:58.000
poor. Then back in the groove
around the time of Bad Blood, which

2331
02:56:58.040 --> 02:57:01.159
took place in my home base of
Saint Louis. Around then I became a

2332
02:57:01.239 --> 02:57:05.600
rabbit fan, found ECW and still
hold memories from ninety seven through two thousand

2333
02:57:05.600 --> 02:57:09.120
and two or so, very dear. I lapsed again in two thousand and

2334
02:57:09.120 --> 02:57:13.159
two, as things weren't quite the
same without ECW around, Plus I finally

2335
02:57:13.159 --> 02:57:18.319
started getting regular pussy. That's right. I clawed my way back around One

2336
02:57:18.399 --> 02:57:24.520
Night's Stand and the subsequent ECW reboot, but found the WWECW was not for

2337
02:57:24.639 --> 02:57:28.719
me, surprising unsurprisingly, and lapsed
again. I'm lapsed to this day,

2338
02:57:28.840 --> 02:57:33.319
though I still watched the plees and
stay relatively current with the goings on,

2339
02:57:33.799 --> 02:57:39.959
So maybe not so much. Sonthing
b exactly like? Yeah, and and

2340
02:57:39.159 --> 02:57:43.600
you by proxy by force? Yeah? Right, I've never really lapsed in

2341
02:57:43.680 --> 02:57:46.719
terms of the nostalgia, he writes. I stumbled on something to wrestle early

2342
02:57:46.760 --> 02:57:50.520
on and was a loyal listener to
the Conrad casts and still am to some

2343
02:57:50.600 --> 02:57:54.280
degree. But since Bruce has it
to the company line and Jr. Only

2344
02:57:54.280 --> 02:57:56.600
gets excited about Alpha males and barbecue
sauce, I found myself wanting more.

2345
02:57:58.280 --> 02:58:00.799
I kept reading about this thing called
the lapse. F Hey, that's me,

2346
02:58:00.879 --> 02:58:03.319
I thought to myself, But who
are these guys and why the fuck

2347
02:58:03.559 --> 02:58:05.719
do I want to listen to them
talk about Survivors Series eighty eight for seven

2348
02:58:05.760 --> 02:58:09.000
hours? Oh boy, that's what
they always say. In the beginning isn't

2349
02:58:09.000 --> 02:58:13.319
it. Yep. That's how we
got them. Yep. And you know

2350
02:58:13.360 --> 02:58:18.520
by now I didn't want to listen
to anything I fucking needed too. Did

2351
02:58:18.520 --> 02:58:20.680
he underline a word needed, boss, Yes he did. And on that

2352
02:58:20.719 --> 02:58:26.200
topic, can we just shout the
following from the fucking rooftops? The podcast

2353
02:58:26.239 --> 02:58:30.719
is seven hours because that's how long
it fucking takes. They laugh at their

2354
02:58:30.760 --> 02:58:35.239
own jokes because they're fucking funny,
he writes in bold. So far,

2355
02:58:35.319 --> 02:58:39.760
I'm not really seeing any problems now
that that's out of the way. The

2356
02:58:39.799 --> 02:58:43.120
truth is, I don't have all
that much time to listen to podcasts these

2357
02:58:43.200 --> 02:58:48.399
days. I'm a single father with
shared custody of two young children. Dude,

2358
02:58:48.639 --> 02:58:50.600
that's fucking that is some tough shit, man. I have a demanding

2359
02:58:50.719 --> 02:58:54.680
job that I can rarely cast during, and I no longer commute to the

2360
02:58:54.680 --> 02:58:56.840
office, so that time is gone. I still have over three hundred episodes

2361
02:58:56.879 --> 02:59:00.879
in my backlog, and who knows
if I will ever forget to them.

2362
02:59:01.040 --> 02:59:03.200
For two years, I have used
this as a poor excuse for not tithing,

2363
02:59:03.680 --> 02:59:07.600
and I'm so very ashamed of being
such a bitch, because my need

2364
02:59:07.719 --> 02:59:13.000
is not about the volume of content
TLF provides. My need is deeper than

2365
02:59:13.040 --> 02:59:18.920
that. It's because if I am
depressed because I miss my kids, yes,

2366
02:59:18.120 --> 02:59:22.680
or have a rough day of work, TLF can turn me around.

2367
02:59:22.559 --> 02:59:26.719
It's because if I'm busy on a
weekend with one of the multitude of house

2368
02:59:26.799 --> 02:59:31.440
chores or repairs, I have TLF
in my ears, yes and deep up

2369
02:59:31.479 --> 02:59:35.000
my ass to get me through it
with a fucking smile. What it all

2370
02:59:35.000 --> 02:59:39.280
boils down to is that if I
was without this podcast, it would affect

2371
02:59:39.319 --> 02:59:45.520
me emotionally. As Vince would say, you put smiles on faces. That's

2372
02:59:45.639 --> 02:59:48.799
right. It's not the only podcast
I listened to, but it's the only

2373
02:59:48.840 --> 02:59:52.840
one that fucking matters. Yes,
it is his words, folks, not

2374
02:59:52.959 --> 02:59:58.799
ours. I devoured the lamentable tragedy
ahead of the Iron Claws release. I

2375
02:59:58.799 --> 03:00:01.479
can't wait to learn more about the
Funks than I ever thought I needed to

2376
03:00:01.520 --> 03:00:03.639
know. The TNH journey was a
fucking phenomenon, and I gobbled it up

2377
03:00:03.639 --> 03:00:07.000
despite my having never watched more than
five minutes of TNA in my life.

2378
03:00:07.360 --> 03:00:11.479
You're welcome, TNA, by the
way. By the time we were done

2379
03:00:11.479 --> 03:00:16.120
with TNH Boss, they were bringing
back the TNA name like Jesus. I

2380
03:00:16.239 --> 03:00:20.760
decided after completing that one that I
would make TLF my first and only Patreon

2381
03:00:20.840 --> 03:00:24.040
purchase. Hoof Double Bizz Boss do
the thing hit Dixie's music for us one

2382
03:00:24.079 --> 03:00:28.479
time. Oh fuck, But it
was this gem I have transcribed below that

2383
03:00:28.520 --> 03:00:33.000
truly put me over the edge.
LAP Scribes feel free to use as you

2384
03:00:33.040 --> 03:00:37.719
please Episode three twenty four, Bash
at the Beach ninety five for the universe,

2385
03:00:37.719 --> 03:00:39.000
I direct you to timestamp two fifty
two, and if you have the

2386
03:00:39.000 --> 03:00:41.760
time, I would humbly ask Jack
to read this back as only he can,

2387
03:00:41.840 --> 03:00:46.920
and I quote as JP comes like
a fucking inferno when Randy Savage makes

2388
03:00:46.920 --> 03:00:48.280
his way to the ring to do
battle with Brick Flair, holding as Jack

2389
03:00:48.319 --> 03:00:58.079
so aptly indicates a fistful of slim
gems in his hands, slim Jim for

2390
03:00:58.159 --> 03:01:01.360
everybody, everyone needing a snap.
I'm telling you right now, I got

2391
03:01:01.360 --> 03:01:03.440
no chips, I got nothing else, but I do have some little slivers

2392
03:01:03.479 --> 03:01:07.000
of meat. Here we go,
handing out the sweaty meat here at Bash

2393
03:01:07.040 --> 03:01:11.280
at the Beach. This has gotta
be you. Oh, this is you?

2394
03:01:11.360 --> 03:01:15.360
This is it? Why do you
have me say it? Oh?

2395
03:01:15.520 --> 03:01:22.799
All right, alright? Said it? To me, it's fucking do it

2396
03:01:22.959 --> 03:01:28.840
in the spirit of TLFX. It's
that fucking mailbag show Winter twenty twenty four.

2397
03:01:33.239 --> 03:01:41.799
Oh God, swim gym for everybody. Everyone needed a snick, telling

2398
03:01:41.840 --> 03:01:45.040
you right now, I got no
chips, I got nothing else, but

2399
03:01:45.079 --> 03:01:52.159
I do heal some little slivers of
meat. Here we go handed the sweaty

2400
03:01:52.239 --> 03:01:58.760
meat. Here at bish at the
beach, sweaty sticks of beef cured beef.

2401
03:01:58.840 --> 03:02:03.239
You know what I meant. Here
we go smoky, sweaty cured beef.

2402
03:02:03.319 --> 03:02:07.719
Ah huh. I like it.

But I want just want to offer

gyms. We're doing the same thing. Wait, because it gets better.

2426
03:04:11.600 --> 03:04:16.399
One is about exercise the ether.
One is about exercising your right to eat

2427
03:04:16.719 --> 03:04:26.520
sweaty smoke meat. Ah, shit. I'm telling you right now, these

2428
03:04:26.520 --> 03:04:31.479
slim gyms have been out in the
sun a long time and that's the only

2429
03:04:31.600 --> 03:04:35.319
reason why they're a little damp.
All right. They're not ones. I'm

2430
03:04:35.319 --> 03:04:41.639
not saying they're bad. They got
them purchased today, all right, expires

2431
03:04:41.639 --> 03:04:45.639
in two weeks. We got two
weeks to eat these. But they're but

2432
03:04:45.760 --> 03:04:52.280
they've been outside now. There's no
place for us to go inside right now,

2433
03:04:52.360 --> 03:04:56.079
so they maybe a little sweaty,
a little bit of that, if

2434
03:04:56.159 --> 03:05:01.000
you will, condensation. You know
what I'm talking talking about now. I

2435
03:05:01.040 --> 03:05:03.000
don't mean it is respect. Not
trying to pull anything over on you,

2436
03:05:03.319 --> 03:05:07.719
on you fans, on your announcers, on any everybody who's snacking on a

2437
03:05:07.799 --> 03:05:11.520
slim gym right now. Not what
I'm trying to do. I'm here,

2438
03:05:11.600 --> 03:05:15.559
I'm being honest. I'm telling you
the wave that it is. Macho man,

2439
03:05:15.719 --> 03:05:20.760

here they are right now, Uh
huh. They might be a little sweitty.

2441
03:05:24.600 --> 03:05:28.600
They've been out in the sun for
a little while. It's hot day

2442
03:05:28.600 --> 03:05:31.520
out here at Huntingdon Beach. What
are you gonna do with the slump Gym.

2443
03:05:31.959 --> 03:05:35.520
Are you gonna eat it? You're
gonna take it, You're gonna snap

2444
03:05:35.639 --> 03:05:41.479
into it. I don't know.
That's up to you. Not my places,

2445
03:05:45.920 --> 03:05:50.440
not my place to tell you what
to do. All right, you

2446
03:05:50.600 --> 03:05:54.879
are your own people out there.
What I'm suggesting is that you all understand

2447
03:05:54.959 --> 03:06:00.959
right now, Slim Gym is presenting
badge at the beach Bade best of number

You're gonna take in your hends that
I got, my Slim Jim.

2451
03:06:15.559 --> 03:06:20.959
I'm gonna shoot it off into the
fans. Now, if that he writes,

2452
03:06:22.239 --> 03:06:24.479
wait, did I say that?
Is that what you're saying? He's

2453
03:06:24.479 --> 03:06:28.600
saying you said all that? I
fucking said that. Jesus. Now,

2454
03:06:28.600 --> 03:06:33.559

my three sixteen every month and nothing is
