I saw, so this was, Oh my god. 7 00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:38,880 Yeah, I think John Sorrow went to the fucking market. Here's what 8 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,399 happened. Does he do this stuffing every year? He does this stuffing, 9 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:46,039 but he fucking loves them chestnuts? Recording before Thanksgiving? Are we are? 10 00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:49,520 You're very uh, I'm very excited. It's kind of great because you know, 11 00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:53,880 King of the Jews ends the weekend before Thanksgiving, so it's kind of 12 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,520 like work work work, work, work, work work, and then ah, 13 00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:04,760 that's like that beautiful holiday break. College. That's what you know. 14 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,159 We talk about the magic of Christmas every year. I feel like that's kind 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,239 of I mean, I've talked about this before. That's what we're reaching for. 16 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,280 We're reaching, of course, for the gifts, we're reaching for the 17 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:19,480 warmth we're reaching for the sites, the sounds, the smells, the family, 18 00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,920 the camaraderie, but we're also reaching for that guaranteed time off. Yes, 19 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:30,599 that that guiltless period of time where you can just do what you want 20 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,799 and you know every year that these days are yours. And there's nothing more 21 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,120 magical than that. As you get to be high school and college age, 22 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,719 because it's like full liberal, oh my god, Like I remember, I 23 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,079 would just watch all the movies that are there for Christmas. I remember one 24 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,920 time I one year, I don't know what it was, in college, 25 00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:57,840 and it was when they came out with the Alien four movie box set, 26 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:05,920 and I remember I got that for Christmas and I just fucking spent the next 27 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,840 day just watching all four Alien movies. And you can count on it. 28 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,520 Even when you get to be an adult and you have a job, you 29 00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:16,960 still can't you can't necessarily count on it being free time. But in those 30 00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:21,680 years when you're in school, man, it's like ye put that in the 31 00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:23,560 camp because you got you got a you know, semester's over so right, 32 00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:29,319 it's not even like it's not even like there's stuff you have to keep brushed 33 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,520 up on. So when you come back to school. You cannot forget all 34 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120 the material. It's a totally new slate of classes in college, right, 35 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,800 and it's like a month off. It's fucking unbelievable. I highly recommend it. 36 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,719 Yeah, it costs a lot to go to college, but that's one 37 00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:44,599 thing. It's a definitely perk to have a month off. It's funny how 38 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,120 much you pay for college and you have all this time off. Yeah, 39 00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:51,599 it's almost like the opposite. You know, public school is free and you're 40 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,599 in there like two times longer. It's almost like they're fucking you, right, 41 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,120 Yeah, it's almost like it's all a hustle. And speaking of a 42 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:00,840 hustle, we continue to dip into the Kiddy of Christmas. Package is sent 43 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,960 our way by incredibly generous and thoughtful members of the Lapsed Fan Solar System. 44 00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:09,080 Of course, the best audience in podcasting, the envy of all podcasting, 45 00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:14,680 is the ISTLFN and of itself, let alone the Solar Systems once again here 46 00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:20,240 with this bounty, proving themselves worthy. So it's it's it's packaged too. 47 00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,000 The unwrapping number two for twenty twenty three, and what do we have? 48 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:25,080 This is from Cliff Cliff Perino. Oh, we love Cliff, We do 49 00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:30,439 love Cliff. He was the first recipient of our surprise Yes Hopper giveaway, 50 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:35,400 which we hope to resurrect for twenty twenty four. So this is twenty three. 51 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,560 So Manila envelope that's been taped. It definitely feels like I'm going to 52 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:43,719 Guess magazine. Yeah, Cliff, for those who don't remember, his wife 53 00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,560 reached out to us on Christmas and said he really wants a Hopper show, 54 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:51,599 but he knew he couldn't justify it in terms of household expenses. Yeah, 55 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,199 so he said, let's do it. Let's fucking do it. And he 56 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,439 put that great New Year's Eve ninety seven raw, remember the one with gold 57 00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,840 with gold dust stuff like the lew Year's Baby. It gets thrown into the 58 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:08,080 camode by Steve Austin. Okay, what did Cliff send us? Oh my 59 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:14,680 god? What dear co chairs. It's a letter to start.

Okay, Oh this is 65 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,160 fucking great. So chat GPT knows enough about our pod that it can write 66 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,160 a script. I didn't know that. Oh God, what the fuck? 67 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,480 This is such a great gift. Okay, this is good, this gift 68 00:04:56,519 --> 00:04:59,480 that's going to keep on giving. Oh yes, all right, so number 69 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,120 one, Yeah, I'll do the uh things. Interior Sorrow's basement. Oh 70 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:09,079 no, shit, that's exactly where we are right now. How fucking serendipitous 71 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,839 is that? Jack and Carnassio and JP Sorrow, both in their late twenties, 72 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:15,560 sit at a worn out couch, a large TV in front of them. 73 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,199 They're surrounded by wrestling memorabilia. What is happening? That's exactly what's happened. 74 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:26,920 We're not on a couch or They're surrounded by wrestling memorabilia, posters, 75 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,480 and action figures. Eagerly anticipating Royal Rumble two thousand and five. The room 76 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:33,160 is buzzing with excitement, but suddenly the tranquility is shattered as a loud, 77 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,480 gushing sound echoes through the basement. Water begins to pour from a broken pipe. 78 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,720 Oh, for the love JP, Jack, help me quick. The 79 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,279 basement is flooding. JP and Jack look at each other, seemingly unfazed by 80 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,120 the crisis at hand. Mister Sorrow dashes to grab a bucket and desperately tries 81 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,839 to contain the deluge of water. Well, that's inconvenient, Jack and Carnassio 82 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:58,439 nods, seemingly more concerned about the impending wrestling event. That's me, that's 83 00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:03,639 me, Okay, the rumble's about to start. The ambulance is going to 84 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,800 have to come pick yet, I'm not going on. We don't, you 85 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,279 know, find someone else to take care of the flood. I mean, 86 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,199 does chet GPT know that your dad had that hilarious meltdown because your basement flooded 87 00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,040 once I mentioned it once. Well, we talked about it, and I 88 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,720 guess that's what you know. He remembered that that's sick and we can have 89 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:27,480 a whole scene about it. Yeah, this is an ideal timing, JP. 90 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,800 I would say this in my head, thought out loud. Mister Sorrow 91 00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:35,399 continues to curse and scream as the water level rises. He's now knee deep 92 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:39,120 in the mess, frantically looking for a way to shut off the water, 93 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,040 you know, Jack, Rumble nine two thousand and five is once in a 94 00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:50,399 lifetime event. We can't miss it. It's fucking so brilliant and random. 95 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:55,839 Jack nods in agreement, his focus firmly on the TV screen. Absolutely, 96 00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:01,920 it's not every it's not every day you get to see stone cold Steve Austin 97 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:08,439 backing out. Sit mister sorrow overhears the conversation and glares at them, dripping 98 00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:12,160 wet and furious. Are you too kidding me? My basement is drowning and 99 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,920 you're talking about wrestling? Help me, damn it? All right, all 100 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,759 right, Dan, we'll be upstairs watching our wrestling show. All right, 101 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:27,040 all right, how about you gonna help them? And then you so so 102 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,959 when he says help me, damn it and you say all right, all 103 00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:33,360 right, dad, that means we're just gonna watch wrestling. Like in other 104 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,480 words, we know what you want us to do. We're gonna go upstairs 105 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:40,360 and watch it. Right, I get a Dad, we're in your way. 106 00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:43,199 We'll go. We know our lack of help is type the fact that 107 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,680 we're downstairs of him. Jack and I say, good luck with this though, 108 00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:53,480 put in your mouth. I mean they know you too well, I 109 00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:56,319 guess. Jack and JP casually get up and make their way to the door. 110 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,680 As they exit, they leave mister Sorrow to deal with the basement disaster, 111 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,480 the mind set on the wrestling spectacle awaiting them. Mister Sorrow's angry rands 112 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,560 continue in the background. Is the two friends ascend the stairs to enjoy going 113 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:15,800 up the stairs. That's funny like slowly like like knees creaking like flour boards, 114 00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:20,639 creaking, total disregards for the chaos below, Send the stairs to enjoy. 115 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,959 Roy Rumble two thousand and five, seemingly unburdened by the chaos below, 116 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:39,039 has can you do him? As water continues to flood the basement, Hardcore 117 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:54,360 Holy arrives. He his rugged face, stern and determined. He immediately joins 118 00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:01,279 mister Sorrow in the in the back against the flood, taking buckets and helping 119 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,320 to contain the water. Once they managed to get the situation somewhat under control, 120 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,240 Hardcore Holly climbs the stairs, water drenched, and heads straight for JP 121 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,200 and Jack. You too, you think it's finally Mitter Sorrow dealing with this 122 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,080 mess while you watch wrestling all have you? No? But before Hardcore Holly 123 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,440 can unleash his fury. Jack and Carnassio, with his characteristic sense of humor, 124 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:30,279 nonchalantly responds, cool, it came up with that came up with the 125 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:39,600 hardcore. Holly stares at Jack, I'm actually feeling nervous and yes, his 126 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:45,159 anger momentarily deflated. He had expected a more apologetic response, but Jack's casual 127 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,480 reply leaves him speechless. Well that's not what you should be. Jack and 128 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,039 JP exchange a glance, clearly not taking hardcore Holly's threat too seriously. Hardcore, 129 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,320 if you want to include us in the sequel to your book, feel 130 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,480 free, we'll be flattered. Hardcore Holly, still dripping with water and flustered 131 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,320 by their nonchalant attitude, seems to be at a loss for words. He 132 00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:07,279 eventually shakes his head, seemingly realizing that he might not get the reaction he 133 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,360 expected. I can't deal with this right now. Hardcore Holly walks away, 134 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,240 leaving Jack and JP to their wrestling show. Their attitudes unchanged and they're focused 135 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:20,000 firmly on the Royal Rumble match they were watching. What a bitch, that's 136 00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:24,039 what they hit? You say about hardcore? Ali and he's there in person, 137 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:31,000 hoping my dad fucking like as if he heard my dad, Oh here 138 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,399 for you, mister, so I'm gunning. He's like, he's somebody that 139 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,399 would say hardcore Holly would save six people from a flood and then complain why 140 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,600 when the news interviewed him about it, He's goddamn, six people were sitting 141 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:48,720 there. Shit. I don't know what the fuck they're thinking, but they're 142 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,399 putting everybody at risk. Jack and Carnassio turns to JP, raising an eyebrow. 143 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,639 JP, you know sometimes it's entertaining to watch people with bad attitudes. 144 00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:05,320 How do they know that keeps life interesting? That's something I would totally say, 145 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,440 Oh my god. J. Britten's conceding the point as they both continue 146 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:20,080 to enjoy their wrestling show, Episode one from Cliff's fucking legend already legendary Christmas 147 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:26,559 Show Gift and oh my god, he's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack 148 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:39,679 and Carnacio m JP sorrow, He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast.

The 150 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,480 atmosphere and the MMA Arena was electric as fans gathered around the autograph booth to 151 00:11:48,480 --> 00:12:07,320 meet the legendary fighter to pro wrestler. Legendary some legendary fighter turned pro wrestler 152 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:15,960 turned MMA fighter. The fighter was he before? A freedom fighter?

Sean, oh Hair, Jack 155 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,120 and Carnassio, a seasoned m and a journalist approaches the booth, his notepad 156 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:39,840 and recorder in hand. Sean, it's great to see you back in the 157 00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:43,519 world of mma. How does it feel to be here again? Thanks? 158 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,720 Jack, It's good to be back. These fans have always showed me tremendous 159 00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:50,559 support. Sean signed a photo of himself throwing a signature grin in the process. 160 00:12:50,559 --> 00:13:00,639 But Jack had an agenda and he leaned it a little closer. I 161 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,159 just did it. I just did the face. That's the magic of getting 162 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:11,080 us the gift early as we can. Sean, there's been some talk lately 163 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,039 about the possibility of the APA making an appearance tonight. Do you fear a 164 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,840 sneak attack from those guys during your fight? You want to see what it 165 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,240 feels like. Jack, don't want to throw you with a Charles River. 166 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,480 This is unreal. Jack tried to maintain his composure, pretending not to catch 167 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,480 Sean's veiled threat. No at tension was palpable, but Jack managed to steer 168 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,919 the conversation back towards the m and a fight. So, Sean, your 169 00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:37,399 fight is just a few hours away. What's your game plan for tonight? 170 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,399 Game plan? You know what?

Shohn O'Hare abruptly stood up, 176 00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:18,320 leaving the autograph session behind, and started making his way toward the arena's 177 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,480 exit. Sean, are you sure about this? Your fight is just a 178 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:28,399 few hours away. But it was too late. Sean O'Hare had made up 179 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,279 his mind. He headed towards the Charles River, a mischievous smile on his 180 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,000 face, leaving behind a perplexed Jack and Carnassio and a gathering of baffled fans 181 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,720 who couldn't quite believe what they had just witnessed.

They were all there to celebrate JP's upcoming wedding in Joe 190 00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:35,919 had planned an unforgettable bachelor party. As the evening unfolded, the laughter and 191 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,320 clinking of glasses filled the air. Suddenly, the room buzzed with excitement. 192 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:46,639 As Virgil that's the last thing.

That thing was buzzing with excitement. I'll tell you that a former 195 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,960 professional wrestler entered the restaurant. His larger than life presence made it impossible to 196 00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:02,919 go unnoticed. Yeah it is Peluka. Joe Jack with a grin that stretched 197 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:04,200 from ear to ear. Well, that's accurate, that's true, stood up 198 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,960 and welcomed Virgil with a hearty hand shake. Virgil, my man, thanks 199 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,240 for joining us. This is JP, the groom to be. JP extended 200 00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:14,519 his hand to Virgil, who gave it a vigorous shake. Pleasure to oh, 201 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,159 pleasure to meet you, JP said, his eyes wide with awe. 202 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:26,399 Virgil chuckle the deep booming laugh. Can you do Virgil? Likewise, JP 203 00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:33,480 happened. He's really dusty. But I've heard great things about you. You're 204 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:44,679 about to join the most exclusive club in the world, married life. Well, 205 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,200 one thing I will give chat GBT is that's exactly how Virgil talks. 206 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,679 I can picture Virgil saying, you're about to join the most exclusive club in 207 00:16:52,679 --> 00:17:00,960 the world, married life. The classes and the party was in full swing, 208 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,240 but as soon as the conversation turned to Virgil's career, he seemed oddly 209 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:15,319 preoccupied. Diddy uh, Virgil, tell us about your wrestling days. I'm 210 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:22,839 also diddy. Virgil's eyes darted around, his gaze, settling on a bowl 211 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,519 of bread sticks. Wrestling was great, but you know what was bit of 212 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:30,759 mythos? You guys tried the Metho's ears to die for. The friends exchanged 213 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:34,400 puzzled glances, and JP cleared his throat. Yep, we're here for some 214 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,119 wrestling stories, Virgil. How did you get into the business? Virgil nodded, 215 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:45,880 but his attention was clearly divided, especially with with him talking about his 216 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,240 career. Com ou up here exactly. Well, the thing is, I 217 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,640 started as a substitute math teacher before I hit it big in wrestling. I 218 00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:56,720 was pulling it over one hundred thousand dollars a year just from substitute teaching alone. 219 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,160 The guests were flabbergasted, but Virgil was undeterred. But you know what's 220 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:10,720 even But you know what's even better than one hundred thousand dollars. Meat sauce 221 00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:18,640 is the stuff of legends, Virgil says, of meat sauce, It's the 222 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:27,359 stuff of legends. Now what exactly does he mean by that? I mean, 223 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:33,119 also he would prefer meat sauce over one hundred grand Jesus Christ. I 224 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:40,799 mean, oh, fuck, big show, wouldn't Jack leaned in, trying 225 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:48,480 to get the conversation snickers and meat sauce. You know what, you prefer 226 00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:52,519 meat sauce on a one hundred grand? Jack leaned in, trying to keep 227 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,680 the conversation on track. Virgil, what was your most memorable match? Virgil 228 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,039 paused for a moment, then brightened. Oh was this one time I was 229 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:03,440 wrested as a giant and he tried to body slammy, But instead of slamon 230 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:14,319 me, he speaking of the ball white. Let's say this instead of a 231 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,000 sammy big butt of meat say it again, say that blind again. But 232 00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:22,799 instead of slam and me, he ended up in a big butt of meat 233 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:29,839 sauce. It was incredible. I mean, how how do you instead of 234 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,799 being slammed or instead of slamming, end up in meat sauce? Just don't 235 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:36,279 even let me, let me, don't even read it. Don't me next 236 00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:38,440 line, my next line, because it's it's me anyway. Then JP's eyes 237 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:48,400 furrowed. Virgil. Yes, I'm pretty sure you're talking about a spaghetti wrestling 238 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:56,480 match, not an actual wrestling match. Spaghetti wrestling match they do. They 239 00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:03,519 call it that because it's film in Italy. That's a fucking Italian wrestling scene. 240 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,519 That's what it is. Spaghetti wrestling supposed to spaghetti western that's right. 241 00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:14,759 Oh fuck, that's good. Wow. Virgil waved his hand dismissively. Details 242 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,720 details, wrestling, spaghetti wrestlers all the same to me. Meat sauce is 243 00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:25,079 where it's get that fucking spaghetti wrestling shirt going. Wrestlings gonna happen a ring 244 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,680 linguini or something. You gotta put a tomato stain. Oh yeah. The 245 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,200 friends couldn't help it laugh at Virgil's bizarre obsession with meat sauce. As the 246 00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:48,559 night continued, Virgil regaled them with wild stories about about meat sauce, while 247 00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:53,079 the conversation about wrestling remained mostly untouched. As Virgil continued to enjoy the Italian 248 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,960 cuisine, JP and his friends couldn't help but appreciate the unique and unforgettable bachelor 249 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,039 party experience that Jacket orchestrated. It was a night filled with laughter, outrageous 250 00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:07,759 claims, and of course, an unexpected fascination with leach sauce. Holy shit, 251 00:21:08,759 --> 00:21:22,279 he's an lapsed fan. Wrestling podcast with Jack and Carnacio and JP Sorrows, 252 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:30,000 a lapsed fan wrestling podcast, and finally Number four God Interior Abandoned Pontiac 253 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,960 Silverdome night dimly lit and echoing with silence. The abandoned Pontiac Silverdome was a 254 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,759 relic of a bygone era. Jack and Carnassio and JP sorrow both wrestling enthusiasts, 255 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,160 walked across the dusty, cracked floor of the once mighty Stadium. The 256 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,440 place was vast and eerie, the remnants of a wrestling world that had ooh 257 00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:52,119 gone. Jack, an avid fan of Hulk Hogan, couldn't resist the opportunity 258 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,480 to recreate one of wrestling's most iconic moments. He tore his T shirt, 259 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,000 emulating the Holsters style and flexed his muscles as they reached the center of the 260 00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:12,920 stadium, JP, you ready for this, brother, JP, who was 261 00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:18,000 considerably taller and heavier than Jack, took on the roll of the legendary Andre 262 00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:21,200 the Giant. He let out a deep, rumbling laugh in his best Andre 263 00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:26,279 in person balls. Jack, channeling his inner Hogan, crouched low and hoisted 264 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,680 JP ono his shoulder. He struggled, I wish I know that'd have been 265 00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:33,640 nice to fet, you should have want to runaissance rumblefort before we went there, 266 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,079 actually taking it. He struggled, putting everything he had, and yeah, 267 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,480 right like that, that trains you to do that, right. He 268 00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:45,720 struggled, putting everything he had into the performance, and then with a tremendous 269 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,799 effort, slam JP onto the mat. Okay, the abandoned silverdome has a 270 00:22:48,839 --> 00:22:52,039 mat, has a mat. Yeah that's the Ai, that's the AI. 271 00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:56,200 Hallucinating as they say, they both shared a laugh, relishing the homage. 272 00:22:56,519 --> 00:23:00,759 Just as they're about to celebrate further, JP has his hand over his mouth 273 00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:03,880 because he's reading ahead of me. So I can't wait to see what's coming. 274 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:14,359 A figure and a yellow bandanna and sunglasses. Suddenly Beard from the Shadows. 275 00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:15,440 What's going on here? Brother? What are you trying to do? 276 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,400 Should I hate? Dude? Are you trying to take my spot? Jack 277 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,799 and JP turned to see the real Hul Cogan standing before them, his gaze 278 00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:26,839 piercing with suspicion. Uh, Hulk, it's it's just a tribute, man. 279 00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:29,400 We're big fans, just just having some fun. Brother. Yeah, 280 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,559 we're not trying to take anyone's spot. We're just we just love the wrestling 281 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:44,480 business, hul cogin we want the wrestling What hull Cogan is staring at you 282 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:52,880 with a deep paranoid suspicion that what you might be I saw my live hoof. 283 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,119 I saw a live hoof, with a suspicion that what you're doing might 284 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:03,559 harm his enterprise. The way out of it is to say, just love 285 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:11,519 the wrestling business. Paul Higan stared at them for a moment before nodding approvingly, 286 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,319 his paranoia dissipating. All right, brothers, as long as you're not 287 00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:17,440 here to mess with the Holtzer's legacy, you'll carry on with your fund, 288 00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:29,039 dude. Just as the tension seemed to subside, a spectral figure began to 289 00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:33,920 materialize in the dim light behind them. It was the ghostly form of Andre 290 00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:40,279 the Giant. Jack and JP turned to see the towering specter of the eighth 291 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:44,799 Wonder of the World. Other boys, you're a the blue like the jarb. 292 00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:49,680 Jack and JP exchanged a perplexed glance as they ghostly as the ghostly Andre 293 00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:56,240 stepped closer. Without warning, Andre extended his massive ghostly thumbs, very ghostly 294 00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:03,079 as Andre, Yes, yes, CHATCHYBT assume Andrea is ghostly and performed the 295 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:08,759 infamous wrestling move known as the here's a Christmas surprise. But talk about a 296 00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:22,519 stock on stocking and how about an anal stuffer? And look, hold on, 297 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:29,440 hold on a second. So I said, you know, because it 298 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,160 was a pun. It was it was a call. I said it because 299 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,119 it had something to do with Christmas, and it was a callback to something 300 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,720 we've already said, talk about a stocking stuffer. And there was like, 301 00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:42,240 you know, and it was subtle. It was like, you know, 302 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:48,240 oh, let's say you know and you go no subtle to here you go. 303 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:52,000 You'll be funny if instead of that, I said, yeah, how 304 00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:02,279 about an anal stuffer? Is that the noise? I can't want you to 305 00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:04,440 know? Then when he made that noise, he stuck a thumbs up. 306 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:11,039 The skyworks because when you when you oil check someone, you go up because 307 00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:18,400 are above your your their asshole is above you. Oh what's the noise again 308 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:27,079 about oil check? God, that's funny. Is the person that makes the 309 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:40,599 loud noise is not the person getting Andre's thumb jammed up their ass. It 310 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:47,440 does hurt, it's hurts in person. Oh my god, it's that fucking 311 00:26:47,559 --> 00:26:53,160 Christmas show you stupid pichails, motherfucking pieces, and you already know what it 312 00:26:53,319 --> 00:27:00,400 was? The hell?

It's like being visited by the ghost of Christmas 315 00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:15,160 pant as Andre's ghostly form faded into the ether. Jack and JP looked at 316 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,559 each other, their expressions a mix of surprise, confusion, and amusement. 317 00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:22,599 Well, I guess we could say we've been blessed by the Giant himself. 318 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,519 That's a once in a lifetime experience. Brother. With the memory of the 319 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:30,359 Pontiac Silver Doma and their encounter with the legendary wrestlers, they continue to explore 320 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,160 the abandoned stadium, paying their respects to the wrestling history that still lingered in 321 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:40,559 its decaying walls.
