1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,360
A decade of destruction and here we
are ten years. That's a long time.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,240
Boys. You've been doing this for
a decade now, and we would

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,240
come to celebrate a decade of fucking
holes and taking souls like like only a

4
00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:21,800
LAPS fan can. And I'm just
here to share my little testimonial and my

5
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,519
experience in piece of the Pie.
I'd like to say I've been here for

6
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:36,759
the whole ten years, but that
that would not be accurate. I found

7
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:47,039
the LAPS fan at the at Carney's
convention in Shamberg in twenty twenty eighteen.

8
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:53,320
I believe it was the last day. I was just kind of walking around

9
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:58,000
in the aftermath of everything, and
I saw this name on the sheet,

10
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:00,840
said the Lapse Fan, and I
was like that, that sounds like it's

11
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:07,439
something I might be interested in.
So I uh, I think I had

12
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,079
even looked like you guys up maybe
even a couple of months before that.

13
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,599
I was looking for some I was
like, I'll start listening to some wrestling

14
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:22,640
podcasts, and uh, I saw
the Lapse fan and I remember thinking,

15
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Jesus fucking Christ, this shows like
five six hours long. How the fuck

16
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:34,480
am I gonna think I gonna do? That idiot. So I believe that

17
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:41,159
that was around the time that uh
Brucey was coming out and something to wrestle

18
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,879
with and uhh but I uh so
I listened to that, and you know,

19
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,879
I enjoyed and a little hour and
a half shows and all that,

20
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,599
and I thought it was pretty cool. So I get to uh Shamburg and

21
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,280
I walk in. You know,
there's the big ten area in and Cody

22
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:07,120
and all his cigar bullshit's going on
outside. What a fraud, But anyway,

23
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,800
he We're in there and then then
the coach heirs come in do their

24
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,520
thing, and we got the lapse
vents and this is all brand new to

25
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,120
me. And the moment and I
think I've said it a couple of times

26
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,879
to anybody that cares to listen to
me. The moment that got me it

27
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,520
was laps events talking about doctor Jerry
Graham and I have done large amounts of

28
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,280
cocaine together, and I was like, oh fuck, what's this ship I

29
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,199
was in, Like, you know, that's it set the tone and let

30
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,240
me know like, Okay, this
is some big boys shit here. We're

31
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:52,360
not fucking around with horseshit stories and
and and lies. You know, we're

32
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,439
I mean, we're kind of sort
of fucking around with life. But in

33
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,120
more ways there's more truth in those
lies than the supposed truth that we're presented

34
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:05,080
with. And that's all the fucking
matters at the end of the day,

35
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:10,800
is that output. Motherfuckers. So
anyway, I was hooked. I I

36
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:17,879
completely was enamored, listened to uh
believe it was was one of the I

37
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,199
thinkst battle the Superstars on the way
home on the plane, lord Al laps

38
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,599
lord Ow. I fucking love lord
Al and to hear somebody else like go

39
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,199
into a Lord owl. I I
was smitten. I was smitten quite frankly.

40
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:38,439
But you know those six years ago, so I I gotta say,

41
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,960
if it wasn't you know for the
Labs fan, uh, I'm I gonna

42
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,599
get corny and so it's like,
oh, it wouldn't be here today,

43
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:53,840
but I wouldn't be doing you know, shit, didn't get good. It's

44
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:57,879
been a rough last few years and
the need to get in my soapbox.

45
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:05,439
But I I don't think I would
have been as good as I was without

46
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:13,759
the Lapse fan. It it gave
me, he gave me shelter from the

47
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:20,120
stone Daddy. If nothing else,
I had something to grab onto. I

48
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:26,600
had something I knew was going to
be there. I found people I know

49
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:34,279
we're going to be there. It's
it is outside of my family. It's

50
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:42,480
probably been the most transformative thing in
my life. And I cannot pay that

51
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:49,000
back. I couldn't even I can't
even put it into words. So I

52
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,959
wanted to do my best to try
to not be the nature boy and and

53
00:04:54,199 --> 00:05:02,839
go, God, I shot got
But the feeling is real. That's that's

54
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:09,240
how I feel about this show,
these guys. At the end of the

55
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:14,480
day, the what it creates,
what it gives out to the universe is

56
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:19,360
the only the thing that makes our
existence is worth anything on this planet.

57
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:27,079
And I'm fearful and I'm terrified that
we're going in every other direction to avoid

58
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,759
those things. And the laps Fan
is a beacon of light that shines and

59
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:38,480
leads the way and says, no, this is how we do it because

60
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,480
we're the fuckers that know, and
we know how it used to be when

61
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:48,839
it was better. We know more
than anybody how to make it better.

62
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:57,959
And the co chairs, I hope
you have ten more decades. I don't

63
00:05:57,959 --> 00:06:01,319
know if I'll be around for all
of those. You know that would make

64
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,160
me one hundred and forty something.
But with the advancements in modern medical science,

65
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:11,519
I'm sure we'll be hooking ourselves to
ports very shortly and consuming our nutrients

66
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,160
and coming through them and it all
be fantastic and it'll be fine, is

67
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:20,000
what I'm saying. So I'm looking
forward to it. I can't wait.

68
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:27,000
Thank you, guys, Thank you, just I mean to everybody out there,

69
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,279
it's a collective. Unless you're one
of the dipshits, then you can

70
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:35,639
go fuck yourself and get lost.
But you know, you know if you

71
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,680
are, and if you're not,
I'm not talking about you and you know

72
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:43,600
that too, So I love all
of you. Thank you,
