And believe me, 40 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.599 santas Sac has been bursting over the holidays. It has 41 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.080 been months since we've gone through the best missives from 42 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.639 any fan base on any podcast that has ever existed 43 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.520 on the face of God's green Earth. Indeed, I'm going 44 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.560 to get to business here because that's the way to 45 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.280 start the year, right.

I'm pretty sure. Yeah. I mean 71 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.319 I'm not sing like per email, I should say. 72 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.960 I think that's how it works. I've hesitated to vote 73 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.439 myself because that's a little weird, but yes, you do have. 74 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.800 I voted for us, absolutely. 75 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.800 It's all my emails, so you know then, so yeah, 76 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.000 you know the answer to the question, did you try 77 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.680 to vote with the same email twice? 78 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:56.800 You know, I feel like I did it. You know, 79 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.039 I did it a while ago. I did it when 80 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.680 we first did it, and I don't really remember, but 81 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:01.879 I feel like that was the case. 82 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.159 You know, when we took a step in this direction, 83 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.240 it wasn't even clear to us that this is something 84 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:11.680 that the broad populist decides that this was a popularity 85 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.560 contest because you had to submit, you know, like an 86 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.199 application and sort of give them samples of what you 87 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.720 thought your best stuff was to make the cut, and 88 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.439 you sort of go into that with this sense that, Okay, 89 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.000 there's actually going to be a judge that decides best podcasts. 90 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.720 So that sounds like that sounds like something we can win, 91 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.920 you know, yeah, right, But if it's a if it's 92 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.040 a numbers game. Then unfortunately, we've got to marshal the resources, 93 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.839 just like we do every time around this year. When 94 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:38.879 you know, the past couple of years there's been a 95 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.079 live show, which there won't be this year coming up 96 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.560 in association with WrestleMania, we go a whole hog. 97 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:44.480 We don't leave any. 98 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.519 Stone unturned, right pounded the pavement and getting the word out. 99 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.199 We don't want to leave anything on the table when 100 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.240 it comes to numbers games, and so we're going to 101 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.480 need everything you can muster here in the new year. 102 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.360 Make it your resolution to get the coach here much 103 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.199 needed recognition on the year of TLFX for Best Wrestling 104 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.800 Podcast in the Sports Podcast Awards twenty twenty five. It's 105 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:14.480 Sports Podcastgroup dot com is the url for the organization 106 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.480 that puts the awards on and then it's pretty easy 107 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.120 from there to find the twenty twenty five Sports Podcast 108 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.480 Awards and then the best Wrestling category.

It 114 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.040 isn't just a one click thing. It does take a 115 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.439 little bit of inputting of information and such to get 116 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.360 your vote across the transom. But look, we've got the 117 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.879 fans that are willing to go that extra mile to 118 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.800 deal with that inconvenience. Yes, and I think it's I 119 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.879 don't know, it feels right, boss, It feels like it's 120 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.639 time to proved to motherfuckers that like, the only reason 121 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.399 we don't have all the awards is because we don't 122 00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:59.360 bother most of the time. 123 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.680 It's not even trying to nothing to prove. It's more like, 124 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.839 now's the time to show the world, and show the 125 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.560 world what I mean. 126 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.120 I think on the New Year, it's always healthy for us, 127 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.399 let alone for the solar system at large, to be 128 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.639 reminded what it is we're trying to establish here. 129 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.360 To show the world that there is only one all right, 130 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.240 that there is only one that when it comes down 131 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.120 to it, right, when it comes down to putting together 132 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:36.240 the history, putting together the story, and most importantly, being 133 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:40.079 able to more accurately than not not by any sort 134 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:45.480 of pretense on our part, but to accurately get in 135 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.959 the minds of these fuckers. There's none out there. It's 136 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:58.000 not possible.

Categories in the Sports Podcast Awards Best 151 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:56.120 Comedy Podcast, Hello, Best overall podcast. Hello. But it's wrestling, 152 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.079 so no one's going to give you. Yeah, you don't 153 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:00.839 get to be the best of other things when you're 154 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.720 you know, we're in the we're in the bastard step 155 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.399 child category. Exactly. 156 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.360 Let's practice what we preach. If we're gonna mock a 157 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.959 wrestler for trying to write a memoir, for example, that 158 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.319 they trick themselves into thinking anybody but a wrestling fan 159 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.040 is going to buy and enjoy. We can't just as 160 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:19.319 well turned around and pretend that we can step outside 161 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.199 our bounds for recognitions. It's there, of course, and we're 162 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.680 blessed to have it, but we also make no allusions 163 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.560 as to what base it is that we're seeking to 164 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.759 firm up and give sort of an outlook that allows 165 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.600 them to live with some self respect. Yeah, after having 166 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.679 been bitten by the bug of one of the most 167 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.720 ludicrous industries to ever exist, and it just gets more 168 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.720 and more ridiculous all the time, and we just get 169 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.879 more and more ramped up to do what we can 170 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.919 to put the lapsed lens on it all. You do know, 171 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.480 of course, that the live calls are going to be 172 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.120 rocking this year on Patreon, because we've got the Netflix 173 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.320 raw that we're going to cover. We've got Saturday Night's 174 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.279 main event, which apparently is going to be quarterly, including 175 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.480 one coming up the end of January. Yes, Jesus fucking Christ, 176 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.120 get some letters. Hearing the feedback show about that. How 177 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.720 you feel in coming off that thing? It kind of 178 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.480 feel good. I mean I don't have any lingering negativity 179 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.559 towards it at all. 180 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:17.759 I mean I don't know about like actual negativity. I 181 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:21.440 would say that it you know, they could have done. 182 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.360 I feel like they were too. They were a little fearful. 183 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.960 I think Trips was a little fearful in actually going 184 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.679 full fucking hog into what Saturay Night's main event was. 185 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.360 I think there were some opportunities that were missed. I 186 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:46.639 think no graphics really affected my entertainment of it. And then, 187 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.840 you know, but it was good. It was fine. I'll 188 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.240 tell you what. The highlight of it Jesse Ventura. So 189 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.919 that's it for me. He was amazing, absolutely, absolutely, and 190 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.080 apparently we'll be back. And what do you know? It did? 191 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:06.720 Used to be better? 192 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.759 Yep, because when you bring someone in cold who probably 193 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.000 hasn't watched more than ten minutes of professional wrestling in 194 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.919 twenty years, and he can say things on commentary that 195 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.559 make you actually care about the match in a way 196 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.360 you haven't in twenty years. That's what we've been saying 197 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:25.799 since twenty fourteen. Exactly the instincts that were drilled into 198 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.000 people who were good enough to be on national television 199 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.360 and professional wrestling just aren't there in the volume and 200 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.240 quantity they need to be in the current crop, and 201 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.240 it's not their fault. They do what they have to 202 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.720 do to thrive in the business conditions that they're handed. However, 203 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:43.240 that does not mean that the way of institutionalizing, I 204 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.639 guess is one way to put it. These guys in 205 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:51.159 the past wasn't better, wasn't superior, and didn't produce an 206 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.159 instinct in the performer, the wrestler, the commentator or whatever 207 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.639 that just makes it more satisfying to watch. That just 208 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:01.120 makes it easier to watch you in it instead of 209 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.759 takes you out of it every ten minutes. So big 210 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.799 ups to the body and big ups to the thesis 211 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.279 of the lapsed fan. As Saturday Night's main event returns, 212 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:10.919 then we get the rumble, and then you know what 213 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.840 the deal is, and we're gonna go extra hard around 214 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:14.679 WrestleMania because we're not going to Vegas. So of course 215 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.679 we're going to service the patree, the patreon we haven't 216 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.519 in years for Mania, and as far as live shows, 217 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.000 it doesn't mean we're taking twenty twenty five off. We've 218 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.120 got our eye very strongly on doing maybe a summer 219 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.279 thing around Summer Slam in the New York City area. 220 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.840 We're particularly strong in the East Coast. I think we've 221 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.919 demonstrated that to ourselves and everybody else, and so maybe 222 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.200 that's maybe that's the play we'll see. I want to 223 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.679 stay tuned for information in that as we go. And 224 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.159 we're really excited here in the first episode of twenty 225 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.480 twenty five as we turn the page in so many 226 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.039 ways to bring it the conclusion of this episode, an 227 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.679 update on a near and dear Solar System member. These 228 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.360 mail bag shows, Boss, of course, they're about in the 229 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.679 Solar System and how valuable a part of the ecosystem 230 00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.559 they are, how they are into the gasoline to the 231 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.000 whole upper. You've heard us talk about our good friend Gabe, 232 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.399 who's been in the show a bunch of times. Yeah, 233 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.960 we've told you before about the podcast the Whole Ballgame 234 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.759 that he started with fellas fellow Solar System member Blake, 235 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.200 about baseball, kind of taking a lapsed lens to baseball. 236 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.840 You've heard from them in the year before Gabe had 237 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.279 health challenges. We shared a lot of info over the 238 00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:20.840 weeks on the show about his gofund me as he 239 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.960 wanted to wunn open heart surgery. And we're proud to 240 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.960 say thrilled to say that Gabe is not only back 241 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.279 on his feet, but sounds amazing, sounds just as he 242 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.559 did before the procedure. And we saw it to it 243 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:35.759 over the holiday season to reconnect with Gabe now that 244 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.080 he's feeling up to it, and just to kind of 245 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.799 get get a report back on what it was he 246 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.000 went through and what it is boss his experience can 247 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.000 tell us about how we should proceed in the new year. 248 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.440 I'm sorry say that again, you went out there for 249 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:50.960 a moment. 250 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.720 Sure, just his experience and what it tells us about 251 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:55.080 how we should proceed in the new year. 252 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.960 Oh, indeed, absolutely, I think that's I think that's important. 253 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.240 I think I think Gabe has a lot to say 254 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:06.480 in that regard, and he will and do what he 255 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.679 does and enlighten us very much. 256 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.480 And that'll be coming your way here at the end 257 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.879 of the episode. So we do want to let you 258 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.919 know that if part of your new year's resolution includes 259 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:23.120 not only getting right with living a moral life, which 260 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.200 we might be able to help with, probably not, but 261 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.879 maybe to the fallen angel that is the wrestling fan, 262 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.240 we can offer some support if it's not already too late. 263 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.039 If you're going to hit the gym, everyone does this 264 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.960 right New Year. You've probably had some runs with this 265 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.799 right January first, baby, hit the gym? 266 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:45.919 No, okay, me either. Good. 267 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.480 I think that has a I think that has more 268 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.960 to do than we probably realize with. Why we can 269 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.080 cast so hard and be so relatable to so many 270 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.879 is because we didn't have this period of time where 271 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.200 we decided we were going to be someone we're not, 272 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:05.559 which is one way to. 273 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:05.879 Go at it. 274 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.799 But we got to tell you. We have to tell you, folks, 275 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.279 if this is the year, if this is the time 276 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.639 when you're going to try to be a protein guy, 277 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.919 be a gym guy or gal and make that happen, 278 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.440 there is a lapse to prove way to do it. Because, 279 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.320 for all we just said, our good friends at Titan 280 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:27.000 Nutrition remain very much in our corner and believe in 281 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:31.080 the solar system as a cohort worth catering too.

Yes, 314 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.919 You're all gonna try yes, and I and I don't 315 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:08.480 fault for that. 316 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.559 And there's virtue in that. There's virtue. Indeed, thankfully it's 317 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:15.159 not New Year's Revolution season. 318 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:20.360 Well that would suck. I mean they didn't bring that 319 00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:24.039 one back yet, so we can count our blessings, don't. 320 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.519 They do it with something? Though fairly recently, like in 321 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:28.840 the last couple of years, they did something New Year's Resolution. 322 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.200 Is it Day one you're thinking of? No, they actually 323 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.200 called something New Year's Resolution, but I don't remember what 324 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:34.600 it was. 325 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:40.159 They do, I believe use that for NXTX supercards. Yeah, 326 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.200 and they have New Year's Evil. Maybe they call it 327 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:44.759 something like that. 328 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.879 Yeah, Can I can I just stop for god's sake, 329 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.279 it's gonna be evil. It's gotta be you know, medieval 330 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:59.919 like knock it off. So we were counting our webs 331 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.000 what it is. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Well, they're 332 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.720 not gonna level up. They canceled that show, which is 333 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.240 like an NXTB brand if you can believe it. And 334 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.640 we're entering the era of Netflix. Man, this is gonna 335 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.039 get really gross. I'm sorry to tell you, but it 336 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.240 does not look like they are even thinking for a 337 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:18.920 second about how to allay the fears of those who 338 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.039 know that while in any given week or any given month, 339 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.200 the archives aren't the most watched things on Peacock or 340 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.960 the former WW network, the erswild WW network, why would 341 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.799 they That wouldn't make any sense. Why would Why would 342 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.039 anybody watch a show from ninet eighty five and great 343 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:38.720 enough volume to register? But over time, as we demonstrate 344 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.200 the existence of our podcast demonstrates, over time, what matters 345 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.839 to the is the archive. Over time, what the archive 346 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:47.240 is all that matters because that's that's your legacy, right 347 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.119 is it that hard to understand? Over time? 348 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.440 Is knowing what matters is knowing that everything is there 349 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.759 to rewatch or that if you lapse in your watching. 350 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:57.960 This is so big. 351 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.880 I don't think they ever think about this. If somebody 352 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.039 is following WWE and for whatever reason doesn't for six months, 353 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.960 five months, four months, it happens to all of us. Well, 354 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:07.920 it doesn't happen to Toss, but you get my point. 355 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.519 It happens still a lot of people. Well, yeah, yeah, 356 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.079 that's true. We sort of force you to not fall 357 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.759 into that pattern, but you would. Yeah, those people are 358 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:19.039 still gonna subscribe if they know they have access to 359 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:20.880 something that can catch them up when they feel like 360 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:23.279 they have the time or when they feel like, you know, 361 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.680 poking through. And they may never do it, but they'll 362 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:29.599 still pay for it. And that instinct is going to 363 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.519 be extinguished if the archive isn't full and robust. So 364 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.079 the people that you lose, you're gonna lose like typical 365 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.799 Netflix style churn, Like I don't care this month. I'm 366 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:44.680 not subscribing, literally not. I don't understand. I really don't, 367 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.359 because it's there, it's done.

We've 412 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:47.519 got one, honest to god, We've got one that I 413 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.960 I just found out about, just found out about. Wow. 414 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.480 You found out that it qualifies. I found out that 415 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.000 it's a movie like that. Yeah, that qualifies, not even 416 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.359 that it qualifies. But I never heard of this movie 417 00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:05.119 and it stars Humphrey Bogart. All Right, that's all I'm 418 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:10.480 gonna say. And I was like, holy shit, and it's 419 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.319 gonna happen. It's gonna happen this year. I know, I 420 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.599 do want to say, I do want to apologize. You know, 421 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.319 I know I did promise a complete Christmas movie season 422 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.599 this year. It just, you know, when when I started 423 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:28.680 digging into the Wizard of Oz, it just was taking 424 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.720 up too much time and it was too important for 425 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:35.440 me to do that one. And I also needed a 426 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:40.400 couple of weeks just off of the James Bond you know, 427 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.000 the James Bond journey, and then scheduling it just was 428 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.119 it was weird how it just was not meant to be. Well, 429 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.400 it's such a short season too, and it was very short, 430 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.599 three and a half weeks of Christmas. Fuck that you 431 00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:53.680 had basically like a week, you know, right, I mean 432 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:55.559 that was like I was kind of you know, I was, 433 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.119 I wanted to start, you know, slowly the week after 434 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.920 Thanksgiving and then kind of dig into stuff. And then 435 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.000 I was like, wait a minute's Christmas. It's like it's 436 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.880 already Christmas, Like there's no time to do anything else. 437 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:08.759 And let me cut into that, because I can attest 438 00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.079 to having done the sid tribute for instance, like what's 439 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:13.480 great about it? What keeps it going? Like if this 440 00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.440 wasn't true, it would be it wouldn't be long before 441 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.119 it isn't worth doing the show anymore, honestly right its 442 00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:22.680 What has to be true for TLF to be TLF 443 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:25.839 is that when we find ourselves going down a rabbit 444 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.839 hole and things start taking on a life of their own, 445 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:31.880 and the tail end of the process just keeps getting 446 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.240 elongated and elongated til we can barely see it on 447 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:38.240 the horizon, we have to know that you are going 448 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.319 to keep handing us the ball to run to the 449 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:42.119 finish line, no matter how far away it may be. 450 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:42.599 Yep. 451 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.039 We have to know that we've got the only audience 452 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:48.759 on any podcast that we could ever hope for that says, 453 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.400 do it, go for it, don't stop until the corpse 454 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:56.079 is exhausted, don't stop until the account is serviced. This 455 00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.119 customer needs service, and this customer is a movie that 456 00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:01.680 the boss Man's dive for under the cinemat this customer 457 00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.400 is a tribute subject like sid for the main feed 458 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.200 or some kind of long form journey on all of 459 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.960 the different things we've covered over the years, and it's 460 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.079 always the thing you go back to. It's always the 461 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:15.839 thing you're glad we overdid. And by god, a couple 462 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:17.960 of years pass and it seems like we underdid it 463 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:23.200 every single time, right, be exactly things keep getting pointed out, tentacles, 464 00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.240 new branches on the tree that we didn't consider it 465 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:28.759 first blush, even though we felt we were exhaustive and 466 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.920 exhausted going through the process. 467 00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:31.759 Exactly it. 468 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.160 But that's the virtuous cycle that makes all this worth it, 469 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:36.160 and the mail bag is going to be further proof 470 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:38.519 of that here as we crack it open for the 471 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.359 first time in several months on the show. Now, we're 472 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.519 gonna go in kind of verse chronological order. No, yes, 473 00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.599 we're going to go from most current two oldest letters 474 00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:50.240 this time because we're coming off the unwrappening and it 475 00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:52.480 was epic, and it was even more epic not only 476 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.279 to record it, but even more epic to roll it 477 00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:57.519 out like we did twenty five Days of Christmas style 478 00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:59.960 and have Mama Sorrow in the room for the first time, 479 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.440 and so many members of the Solar System appreciated that 480 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.720 we're picking up on all these great nuances along the way. 481 00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:08.240 The silver Tuna, in a lot of ways was the 482 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.920 care package from Saint Mary's Cathedral. Oh yes, this was 483 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:16.079 something that we had a decent degree of information on 484 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.799 while we were opening the gift on the unwrappening in 485 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.960 terms of how it came together, But we just felt 486 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.599 like it begged more clarification, because how do your CoA 487 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.200 chairs end up being in position possession? I should say 488 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:34.400 of an autograph picture of sid Udy signed from the 489 00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:36.640 church that he was trying to get people to send 490 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:39.920 cases and cases and cases of Vienna sausages to in 491 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.319 his last years on Earth. And Brandon, who is responsible 492 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:47.279 I put his head together with some of the other 493 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.839 homies out there in the Solar System. Didn't he see 494 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.039 what make this thing happen? Was kind enough to lay 495 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.440 out for us. Now that the gift is in receipt 496 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.640 and it's been opened and reacted to, for all the 497 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:01.200 Solar System to hear and re joice in. We shared 498 00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:04.440 an image of the materials on our social media accounts. 499 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:09.119 I turned out to you, Boss, please convey Brandon's blow 500 00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.480 by blow for a process that only the lapsed Fan 501 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.640 could engender someone to retake. 502 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.200 That's that is exactly it. I mean, you think about, 503 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:20.599 you think about I mean, I want to, I really 504 00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.640 am here. I would be curious, are there any other 505 00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:28.319 podcasts now who could elicit this kind of a response. 506 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:30.440 I'm waiting and I'm not trying to. I'm not trying 507 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.000 to toot our own horn, and I am, but I'm 508 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:38.000 also genuinely curious because this is one of the most 509 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:44.640 wackiest yes, and most incredibly thought out resources and dedicated 510 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:50.559 right gift that I mean, the whole, the whole presentation 511 00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:55.160 of it was just completely just out of this world. 512 00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.599 And didn't it feel like there was some divine intervention 513 00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.359 having your mom there to explain the same way, Oh god, 514 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:02.839 the significance of the shawl. If she wasn't sitting with us, 515 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:04.519 we would have just put that to the side, like, Okay, 516 00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:06.880 I guess this is just a rapping like and she. 517 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:13.960 Was excited about it, excited about it. I mean, just wild, 518 00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:15.359 just absolutely wild. 519 00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:32.759 Fan wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that knows the boys 520 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:33.680 need their candy. 521 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.759 It's the lapsed fan just because we posted a new 522 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.960 episode of The Lapsed Fan doesn't mean we are done 523 00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:41.400 with the campaign to take what is rightfully ours. If 524 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.880 you haven't yet vote for The Lapsed Fan to win 525 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.440 the award for Wrestling Podcast of the Year, click on 526 00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:49.200 the show's notes, follow the link and do the right thing. 527 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.599 He's an Lapsed Fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carno 528 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.000 and JP Soro. 529 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:16.519 So here we go. I knew this year I wanted 530 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.599 to finally send a gift for the Christmas show. I 531 00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.640 was originally thinking about some w CW stickers or maybe 532 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.160 every Raven Trading card that's been made. But after hearing 533 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.079 part one, I love that. That's part one, by the way, 534 00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:34.799 it was part one where the fucking Vienna's come into play. Yeah. 535 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.079 In fact, I just you know, I was like, oh, 536 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:39.880 it's funny he keeps. As I was researching the interviews 537 00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:41.920 he did in his later years after his wrestling career, 538 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:43.799 he would bring it up a lot, and I'm like, oh, 539 00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:44.640 that's kind of a funny thing. 540 00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:45.240 I'll mention that. 541 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:47.440 But I did not think it was going to be 542 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.279 every single episode and it would come to characterize I mean, 543 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.960 Vienna sausage is sid that's why you need to trust 544 00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:58.319 us when we do this stuff, when we do this 545 00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:00.440 kind of digging, because we don't know on the front 546 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.440 end what's going to end up being the gems and 547 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:04.680 the diamonds we have to mine. 548 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:10.400 We have to mine. Yeah, And that's exactly exactly that's 549 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.200 why you know. Otherwise, if we don't do that, things 550 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:19.160 are less than sanguine. Things are less than sanguine and 551 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:23.240 less than worth it, that's for sure. But after hearing 552 00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.440 part one of the Sid Tribute, I knew I wanted 553 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.400 to get you a SID meal pack. Then Part two 554 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.079 of the tribute came out and we could see, we 555 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:35.119 could all see that viennas were now a full fledged gimmick. 556 00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:37.759 I figured every member of the Solar system would now 557 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.200 be sending in viennas for the Christmas show. My gift 558 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.119 would be worthless. But then I thought, what if I 559 00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:51.319 could send them real viennas, Sid's actual viennas from his church. 560 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.720 I went back. I wasn't prepped for that. I should 561 00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.559 have had that. I went back. There we go and 562 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.799 owned through part one to find the street address a 563 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.599 name of the church Sid gives out in the interview. 564 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.279 I google the chur church's name and the address separately. 565 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.640 To double check that this was the right place, I 566 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:16.240 navigated to the Saint Mary's of Memphis website, found the 567 00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:19.839 con found in the contact section, and began crafting an email. 568 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:24.440 But I can't tell this church that they were indirectly 569 00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:27.559 mentioned on a wrestling podcast. Now that's how I hung 570 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.680 up on. Yeah, yeah, that's how. That's how you don't 571 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.680 get a response. I can't ask them to send me 572 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.039 food meant for the homeless. I'm going to need to 573 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:40.359 convince them. I'll have to touch their hearts to make 574 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:43.519 this happen. Now, this is the time I mentioned that 575 00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:46.559 as a teenager, I joined the bullshit carnival. I was 576 00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:49.839 ushered into adulthood and taught life's lessons by such ethical 577 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:53.960 athletes as Larry's Obisco. To quote Larry before you continue reading, 578 00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:58.039 If you want to enjoy the circus, don't peek behind 579 00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:58.720 the curtain. 580 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:04.960 Why am I not surprised that someone who's actually been 581 00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.359 in the business was able to pull this off? 582 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.519 Yeah? Exactly. That's that's kind of the that that's it, 583 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.599 I mean, that's that's that's who you get to to 584 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.920 pull something, pull a caper like this off. And this 585 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:25.519 is definitely a caper, hands down. I lied to the church. Wow. 586 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.440 Wow, I wouldn't recommend that, But my God, are we 587 00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:30.519 the beneficiaries of it? 588 00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.240 I mean, depends on depends on how you feel about 589 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.920 the church, you know. I guess it was in the church. 590 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:39.079 It was just yeah, in general, you know. I told 591 00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:44.119 them about my grandfather Jack, whose parents were Italian immigrants 592 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:49.079 that emigrated from Italy to West Memphis. God, this was 593 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.799 to explain his last name in Carnassio, an Italian name. 594 00:30:53.039 --> 00:31:03.599 Come on, Oh, that's fucking great in case it came up. 595 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.839 Grandpa Jack was born in Memphis and spent his entire 596 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.000 life living by the Word of God and attending Saint 597 00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:17.839 Mary's Cathedral, but apparently not a registered member of the congregation. 598 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.960 It's amazing that he told these people that this guy 599 00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:21.519 went to the church for years and they don't know 600 00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.000 you that you went to the church. But yeah, well, 601 00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:25.720 as far as they're concerned to the sky, you know. 602 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.720 Yeah. When his health started to decline fifteen years ago, 603 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.359 he moved to Florida to be closer to family. This 604 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.960 set up distance and explained why the package would be 605 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:41.920 delivered to me in Florida. Grandpa Jack is dying. Oh 606 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:48.000 my god, Grandpa Jack is dying. That's going to be 607 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.359 shorthand as the years ago. Yep, and won't make it 608 00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:55.079 past Christmas. As a family, we decided to have his 609 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.240 birthday three months early, on November first, as a way 610 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:03.480 to say goodbye. He loves his church so much. The 611 00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:07.319 beautiful columns and this is I mean, if this is 612 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.119 the kind of email you know you send to a 613 00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:15.599 church if you're if you have accepted your seat in hell. Yeah, 614 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:19.920 I don't know. 615 00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:21.559 I think I think the Good Lord might have a 616 00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.559 little more appreciation before the the trick starter. 617 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.400 Than we give. I would imagine. I would imagine God 618 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:29.960 has a sense of humor always. Nobody else would have 619 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:33.319 a sense of humor better. Yeah, yeah, right. He loved 620 00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.200 his church so much. The beautiful columns and highclating are 621 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:47.640 what inspired him to be The beautiful columns and high 622 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.000 ceiling are what inspired him to become an architect. Oh 623 00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:58.920 my god, this is quote he quotes, He quotes you. 624 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.240 He's never been shy to let anyone and everyone know 625 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.000 that that building is the most beautiful structure on God's Earth. 626 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:10.960 Why do I feel like after this call was over. 627 00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:14.319 The lady hung up at the church and said, something's 628 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:18.720 wrong with that boy? He like, he didn't pull wool 629 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.480 over her eyes at all. She was just like, Okay, 630 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.759 what's wrong with that boy? Know that Carnasio is a 631 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:25.440 Portuguese name. 632 00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.279 Better to just give him what he wants, you know, 633 00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:37.200 instead of seeing what happens if we ignore him. I 634 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.400 asked him if they could help me with a birthday 635 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:46.720 gift from my dying grandfather and hit send. Twenty six 636 00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.599 hours later, I got a reply from a woman using 637 00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.799 a private Saint Mary's email address. We'll call her Nancy. 638 00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.559 Nancy said that she would be glad to help and 639 00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.480 asked what I had in mind. God. I told her 640 00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:06.200 how Grandpa Jack loved helping out with feeding the needy, 641 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.280 and how how every so often he would sneak a 642 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:10.840 meal box for himself. 643 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:21.480 I don't appreciate that this is somehow me okay, a 644 00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:22.559 fictitious person. 645 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:29.760 Yet no Jew Jew this amazing. Oh my God. 646 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:31.440 I invite you out there and listener to land to 647 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:35.880 consider what would be like to know that possibly someone 648 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.360 is doing this in your name without you having any knowledge. 649 00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:44.960 Throughout the month of November, tremendous, just tremendous. I was 650 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:48.239 wondering if the church could send a special meal package 651 00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:51.280 and some kind of printed materials that showcase the building 652 00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:51.960 to comfort him. 653 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.400 I added the print so she wouldn't just tell me 654 00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:02.800 to go to the grocery store. Nancy replied suggesting a 655 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:06.679 prayer shawl with a card showing the church, but didn't 656 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:09.159 like the idea of sending food in the mail. Well, 657 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:10.039 that is just. 658 00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.360 That is not in keeping with the spirit of the 659 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.159 pop top, not at all. Sid would not agree at 660 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:19.039 all with that stance. In fact, he wants you to 661 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.840 send food in the mail. Yeah, so we can send 662 00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:26.119 you an autograph picture. I brought up a donation and 663 00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:27.440 her opinion changed. 664 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.920 So who's the carny really here? 665 00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:32.239 Yeah? 666 00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:32.480 Right. 667 00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:35.480 I gave her the list of items I needed, and 668 00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:38.719 she came up with a fifty dollars donation. I wasn't 669 00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:41.079 sure if all this would be worth the fifty dollars, 670 00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:43.559 so I took the night to think about it. Little 671 00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:49.519 did I know, Little did I know, it would cost 672 00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:51.599 me a lot more. That was just the opening bid. 673 00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.519 My friend, Hm, you're dealing with a five oh one 674 00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:00.400 C three. Listening to the show. That night, I was 675 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:06.400 getting more ideas. What about an autograph picture? Great call 676 00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.239 I would have loved, actually an auto picture of water 677 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:14.079 that would have been great too. Sure should I buy 678 00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.880 one on eBay and send him with the food like 679 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:21.840 a happy meal prize? I purchased one. I purchased one 680 00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.599 on eBay, but didn't feel like he was special enough. 681 00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:28.360 Well, he made the right decision because he was gonna 682 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:30.320 that this is the only way you could top the 683 00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:32.440 guy who sent us the Sid picture with peanut butter 684 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:33.599 and jelly so much. 685 00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:37.320 Over seriously, Oh my god, you know I had forgotten 686 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:39.280 about that, and I was happy about forgetting about that, 687 00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:44.559 and now you've reminded me that that happened. I then 688 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:48.920 came up with the idea of the church signing an 689 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:55.039 eight by ten of Sid. I emailed Nancy the next 690 00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:58.599 day and accepted the donation price. I mentioned personally being 691 00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:00.760 a fan of Sid beauty, and how I would be 692 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:09.440 happy to make the donation in his name. See how 693 00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:12.599 long you waited before you mentioned Sid? Mm hmmm mm hmm. 694 00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:16.199 She of course knew of his passing, but she wasn't 695 00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:20.159 too familiar with him personally. I asked if she could 696 00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.599 write a note thanking me for the donation, thanking me 697 00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:26.719 for the donation, on a picture of Sid so I 698 00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:36.239 could hang it in my home. She politely declined, like, 699 00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:40.000 I'm wondering here does this? I mean, what does this 700 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:40.840 woman believe? 701 00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:44.119 I'm telling you she's just she's doing it for karma 702 00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:45.719 so that it doesn't come back to bite her that 703 00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.559 she didn't help this poor child who. 704 00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:53.719 Clearly write his issues. Yeah. I wanted this to happen 705 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.119 really bad. I didn't care about the food anymore. Really, 706 00:37:56.280 --> 00:38:02.559 I wanted an autograph picture. I not even to picture 707 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:08.320 of Sid, but an aggraph picture of Sid signed by 708 00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:12.480 somebody else who's got nothing to do with the wrestling 709 00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:13.480 business whatsoever. 710 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:19.159 This guy, the homie Brandon, Okay, he he started from 711 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:21.559 a place of I don't want to just buy viennas 712 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.559 at the supermarket. That's not epic enough. I want the 713 00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:30.119 church to send vienna's. And he got that done, as 714 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.039 incredible as that is. And then he's like, yeah, I 715 00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.639 don't care about that anymore. They're right, I accomplished that. 716 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.440 I don't care about that now. I want them to 717 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.920 sign the picture, yeah, And I want them to sign 718 00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:41.360 the picture. 719 00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:48.199 Yes. Oh God, it's fucking money, money, money, money, money, money. 720 00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:52.280 I wanted this to happen really bad. I didn't care 721 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.920 about the food anymore, really I wanted to I figured 722 00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.159 I had one last shot, and asking before Nancy would 723 00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:03.920 probably would maybe bail on the whole thing. I quadrupled 724 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:08.639 down and offered two hundred dollars for her to sign 725 00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:13.159 a photo for me. I explained how I wanted to 726 00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:17.320 be able to remember doing all this for Grandpa Jack, 727 00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:21.000 how it would be an honor to give it, to 728 00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:26.360 give to the church and have this memento. Nancy accepted, 729 00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.719 and I donated. I knew my best friend Andrew would 730 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.840 have some kind of photo of Sid for me to send. 731 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:36.599 We dug through a box of magazines and found that 732 00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:40.159 awesome poster of Sid in a suit. I mailed it 733 00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:47.119 out and asked if she could, and asked if she 734 00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:49.960 could make it out to Jack and his brother JP 735 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:56.119 and signed it from Saint Mary's. She didn't ask any 736 00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:00.480 questions and said she would. I finally received the package 737 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.679 and it was perfect. I bought a gift box from 738 00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:08.199 Hobby Lobby for the food and repacked everything. I don't 739 00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:10.280 know if they had all the food and stock or 740 00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:12.880 if they just bought what they didn't have. I don't 741 00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:15.519 know if Nancy signed the poster herself or if some 742 00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:18.960 underling did. I don't know if Mama Sorrow's new shawl 743 00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:22.079 has bad juju on it. All I know is that 744 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:28.039 this was a Christmas miracle. That's right. That's right, And 745 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:34.000 I'm glad you found it entertaining. Ah, I mean entertaining. 746 00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:37.000 That's not even the word, not even the word for it. 747 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:45.400 It was. It was insane and absurd and just postmodern 748 00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:51.320 even it was. It was a postmodern gift. It totally was. 749 00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:56.599 It really was. And you know, we adore everything everyone 750 00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:57.880 sent us. Yep. 751 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.440 It's it's not to say that this is like, you know, 752 00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.960 it's just the story. The story speaks to why anyone 753 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.920 would send us anything in the first place. Right, Yeah, 754 00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:13.440 It's like, no, it's not just that people like, you know, oh, 755 00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:15.639 they love the podcast and they want to give you gifts. 756 00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:17.599 It's like, yeah, but no, you don't understand. It's it's 757 00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.360 about it's about using that as a as a as 758 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.519 a springboard to create more lapsed moments. It's it's about 759 00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:28.199 moments we all get to enjoy. It's not just about 760 00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:34.079 like regaling us. Oh, man, I've looked at that picture 761 00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:38.199 of the Vanna's in there and the moon po ball 762 00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.800 water pash of crackers. So maybe some some raisins, as 763 00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:44.159 he said in one of them, which blew my mind. Raisins, 764 00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:50.039 what the raisins? And I just I just can't believe 765 00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.920 that it went from him saying that in that Sean 766 00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:54.679 Mooney interview. When I was researching, I was like, Oh, 767 00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:58.719 that's yep, writ not down that one's getting involved somehow, yep, 768 00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:01.320 to the church at self within a matter of months 769 00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:05.000 sending us cans of Viennas. 770 00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:09.920 Just unbelievable, unfucking believable. 771 00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:11.719 And if you did a reason to hang around for 772 00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:14.480 our interview later with Gabe, know that unlike us, he 773 00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:18.159 has eaten viennas. You damn right grew up on that 774 00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:20.000 kind of stuff, and he's gonna we got we got 775 00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.159 a whole, we got a whole fucking we got a 776 00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:25.079 thing of Viennas. I didn't even touch it. I was horrified, 777 00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:30.000 horrified to put those things in my mouth. Maybe we'll 778 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.440 do it for a live show. Yeah, maybe maybe that'll 779 00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:34.320 be the thing. We'll eat a can of Vienna's life. 780 00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:37.159 And I guess they it spreads like I just don't 781 00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:39.119 give it away or don't give it away, No, don't 782 00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:40.559 give it away. Oh sorry. 783 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:42.639 Of course ninety percent of the people probably know exactly 784 00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:44.039 what the HEAs like and have had it and don't 785 00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:46.719 think it's a big deal because it isn't. SID makes 786 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:49.440 it a big deal, of course, right, But yeah, that 787 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:50.400 that that to come. 788 00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:55.920 So we're here. Wow. I don't know what more can 789 00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:59.400 be said besides my god, what have we done? Yep? 790 00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:04.679 And what if you've done out there? We started doing 791 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.760 these because all those years ago TLFX style, we started 792 00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:11.559 getting these unbelievable letters when we do shows unsolicited. Really yeah, 793 00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:14.719 and people were just blowing our minds by how fascinating 794 00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.199 the insights were that they could bring to the table. 795 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:19.559 You've seen it on cinemat I mean, it's unbelievable how 796 00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:24.599 many cinophiles are on Patreon, and like, you must be 797 00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:26.679 so happy to know that, like when you go deep 798 00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:28.639 on a movie, like if there's a blind spot or 799 00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:30.360 if there's something, people are going to find. 800 00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:34.840 It for you, yep, yep, absolutely absolutely, And and I 801 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:40.079 enjoy engaging I enjoy engaging with them on Patreon whenever 802 00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:43.840 I can, but yeah, it's great, it's great. I love 803 00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:47.960 there is a it's a wonderful forum. For sure. I 804 00:43:48.039 --> 00:43:49.639 break this rule all the time, but I do. 805 00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:52.320 I basically have like this soft policy of I can't 806 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.840 read on these feedback shows all of the does this 807 00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:58.159 qualify for X reason emails? Because we get so many 808 00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:00.000 of them, and you see them all, so it's not like, oh, yeah, 809 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:01.760 you're the person that needs to see him. It's not 810 00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:03.280 like everyone necessarily needs here all of them. Some of 811 00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:04.440 them are just hilarious though, like. 812 00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:09.599 I do love some of the What was one one was, oh, 813 00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:15.119 I know, to qualify to qualify from Russia with Love? 814 00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.679 The fact that the end of the movie takes place 815 00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:21.960 on the Orient Express and that the Oran Express was 816 00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:23.519 a tag team in the w W A. That's a 817 00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:26.239 pretty good one. It's pretty fucking amazing, you know what 818 00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:26.599 I mean. 819 00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:30.559 It's like, why is the term Orient Express a thing 820 00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:33.079 that would cross Vince's mind when naming the tag team? 821 00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:35.679 But I don't think it was from Russia with Love? Though, 822 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.239 Oh really I think it was. I mean, the Oran 823 00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:41.159 Express is a train and there was also murder on 824 00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:43.800 the Oron Express. Yep, you know there's a bunch of movies. 825 00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:46.039 I mean, maybe maybe James Bond, but I don't I 826 00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:47.960 make a good point. I'd have to get some at 827 00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.000 that point, you need to find proof that. I had 828 00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:51.760 to find proof that that was it, Like, oh, they 829 00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:53.880 know'm a big fan of from Russia with Love and 830 00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:55.559 you know they rode the Orn Express. 831 00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:59.599 Yeah, tag team. So I thought there was something an 832 00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:03.480 Express that's right. Started also doing it because we couldn't 833 00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:06.840 believe how many people, even in the earliest days, deemed 834 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.360 us worthy of financial support via this Patreon platform, and 835 00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:12.119 we put it out there. We thought it would be cool, 836 00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:14.800 but but like people are like no, like, seriously, tell 837 00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:16.960 me where to fucking sign Like, okay, this could actually 838 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:19.719 be a thing here, Like yeah, you know, the amount 839 00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.960 of hours we're putting in isn't just personal pride, it's 840 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:26.039 also something that people want and want to give us 841 00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:28.599 a signal that they wanted to keep doing. And so 842 00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:32.079 we've made it a practice ever since, no matter how 843 00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:34.199 much time passes and how long the list gets, to 844 00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:38.159 thank everybody who logs into patreon dot com and puts 845 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:39.639 a little money in the kitty to help this whole 846 00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:42.800 machine run. And so we'll engage in the exercise one 847 00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:44.519 more time here as we embark on a new year 848 00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.639 and a new decade of lapsed What do you say, boss. 849 00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:49.760 I'm a fan Victor. 850 00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:52.039 We want to thank you for upping your pledge significantly 851 00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:57.079 and for your support here at TLFHQ. We do also 852 00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:00.719 want to thank Graveyard Entertainment, who's a long time serious 853 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:03.199 ass supporter who recently upped his pledge a bit and 854 00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:06.960 even said, you know another podcast I was pledging to stopped. 855 00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:08.559 Guess where that money goes too. 856 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:10.599 That is the spirit, yep. 857 00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:13.199 When you've got something to redeploy because other people just 858 00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:16.719 can't take on the water that we do and stay afloat, 859 00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:21.800 you know where to reprovision resources.

Jeremy up his pledge. 867 00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:46.000 We'd love to see the upping of pledges. That means 868 00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:49.199 people put their toe in the water and said, fuck this. Yep, 869 00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:51.320 I'm not about to look at like posts that I 870 00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:54.119 can unlock because of what tear I'm in. We're going hard. 871 00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:56.239 Austin Turner did it. He came right into that VIP 872 00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:59.159 level and we want to thank him very much for 873 00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:03.000 doing that. Chromas Slam, one of the best Solar System members, 874 00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:05.480 pointed out in our Saturday Nights Made have had live 875 00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.679 call that of all the throwback figures featured in that 876 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.280 intro that we saw, remember that yeph the one that 877 00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:13.800 basically was all about nineteen ninety one and two, even 878 00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.679 though right that was hardly the heyday. The reason it 879 00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:18.119 was like that is because he didn't want to show 880 00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:20.440 Hulk Cogan. Did you realize hul Cogan was nowhere to 881 00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:24.360 be found in that whole thing? No Chromas Slam rights 882 00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.920 No Hogan in the intro Dot Dot Dot Brother, which 883 00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:29.840 is a good point. I mean, Hogan was actually in 884 00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:33.079 Florida walking a UFC fighter to the cage who got 885 00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:38.360 his ass b what exactly someone total health. There's a 886 00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:41.920 shooter that wants to see him and he he showed up. 887 00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:44.599 He showed up ten deep in terms of personal security 888 00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:47.920 as well. Who's this guy, dude, who were meeting you? 889 00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:48.559 What do you? 890 00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:52.960 What's the brother? What's the disio? Right? 891 00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:53.239 What? 892 00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:54.480 So? 893 00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:57.679 I mean that's another thing, Like you said, they're not 894 00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:00.079 ready to go all the way, you're gonna act like 895 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:03.519 Saturday Night's main event. Nostalgia is about anybody more than 896 00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:06.880 it's about Hulkgan. That's a little ridiculous, but there's a 897 00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:08.800 there's a there's a there there. I mean, of course, 898 00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:11.000 there's a million reasons why you wouldn't welcome Hulk back 899 00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:14.119 into the into the fold wholehearted the line. But I 900 00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:17.159 thought that was interesting because we're learning under the Triple 901 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:19.800 AH regime, or what appears to be the Triple A 902 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:21.960 T regime, that there still are some third rails, there 903 00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:22.519 still are. 904 00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:23.199 Some no goes. 905 00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:27.360 He's not just gonna, you know, undo every bit of 906 00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:31.239 bad will that Vince had towards former folks. And so 907 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:34.199 I thought that was really fascinating and well observed there 908 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:38.280 by Chroma slam a Neil point. Ye fan of that 909 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:40.480 point today. I appreciate that, yeah, for sure, And I 910 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:42.159 didn't realize it. I can't believe it. I'm sitting there 911 00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:44.840 watching the intro and marking and every wrestler they're showing 912 00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:46.559 even was like, oh, yeah, of course we got to 913 00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:48.800 pretend Sean Michael's winning the intercontinental title on the on 914 00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:52.119 the last Saturday night's main event was an important milestone 915 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.199 on the show as opposed to the death now you know, 916 00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.599 a symptom of it at being over. But kind of 917 00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:00.559 in that same vein, Neil pointed out something that I 918 00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.039 thought was intriguing. Of course, Cody wore the winged Eagle 919 00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:05.559 belt to the ring that night. That's because it didn't 920 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:07.159 used to be better. By the way, if you're keeping 921 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:11.039 score at home, and he says, one of the reasons 922 00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:15.079 I'm inherently distrustful of nostalgia is you guys rhapsodize about 923 00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:17.440 the wing eagle belt being the symbol of excellence and 924 00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:20.000 boom times when it wasn't the belt from the landmark 925 00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:22.480 Cogan nineteen eighties run. Yeah, I read this one. This 926 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.480 was actually very fascinating to me. The Austin late nineteen 927 00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:27.360 nineties title Rain. Yeah, it was the belt when I 928 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:28.840 was a kid, and the belt when the company was 929 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:33.360 in its worst shape. Creatively and financially. He also says, 930 00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:36.119 why not keep the big Eagle belt? I get, not 931 00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:38.960 the winged eagle, it's the symbol, despite what Jack asserts 932 00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:41.679 of the company's dramatic decline in the nineteen nineties. But 933 00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:44.719 the big Eagle, the Austin Rock belt, that one symbolizes 934 00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:47.679 the promotion at its peak. Let's say, you to start, 935 00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:53.079 I mean, yeah, I mean I understand where that's coming from. 936 00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:59.320 It makes that makes sense, right, I mean, the fact 937 00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:04.159 is that that belt literally was brought in at the 938 00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:09.800 very the very, very very beginnings of what would become 939 00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:21.800 the decline. And but at the same time, I, I, well, 940 00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:28.000 what what design did the what designs last lasted longer? 941 00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:30.599 I guess I guess the scene of design. Huh, yeah, 942 00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:33.639 I guess that one lasted longer. To me, it's not 943 00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:37.079 about last long. I think what it's about is no 944 00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:39.880 one has ever suggested bringing back the belt Hogan war 945 00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:41.320 before the winged Eagle belt. 946 00:50:41.679 --> 00:50:44.039 Right, well, he also had like eighteen belts that he were. 947 00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:48.960 He had the green strap like travesty, and then he 948 00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:51.719 had the then he had kind of that that weird 949 00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:56.519 little oval shaped thing, and oh no, then he had 950 00:50:56.559 --> 00:50:58.079 that that I don't know what you call it, but 951 00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:00.960 it was looked like the w W the end WATV title, 952 00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:07.840 right right. And you know, so the belts that Hogan 953 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:09.719 wore when they were on fire, no one wants to 954 00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:13.199 bring back. And the belt that Austin wore when he 955 00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:15.719 was on fire. I don't ever hear anyone talk about 956 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:18.639 bringing those back, which is the point. The point has 957 00:51:18.719 --> 00:51:21.719 never been that the belt signifies the boom period. The 958 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:24.679 point has been that it's the most beautiful professional wrestling 959 00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:27.840 belt ever created, right because I mean it was also unique. 960 00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:33.119 It didn't look like any other wrestling championship belt, you know, 961 00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:35.840 I was very very very unique. 962 00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:38.800 Look no further than the fact that Cody's whole psychology 963 00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:41.719 about winning the world title was to do what his father, 964 00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:44.119 Dusty couldn't when he went against Billy Graham and the 965 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:45.960 Garden in seventy eight for the belt. That's not the 966 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:48.320 belt Billy Graham wore, and that's certainly not the belt 967 00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:51.239 Dusty would have hoisted if he became champion. It's not 968 00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.199 like Cody wanted to bring that belt back. Even though 969 00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:55.119 the whole idea is to do what Dusty couldn't, he 970 00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:57.840 wants to bring back the belt that Dusty barely sniffed, 971 00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:00.480 never even challenged for as far as I recall, yep, 972 00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:04.000 because he knows what we know in our hearts that 973 00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:08.119 the wing Egle belt is the only belt that has 974 00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:14.119 ever mattered in terms of the absolute peak of design, geometry, 975 00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:18.280 proportion impact. And while it might not have been around, 976 00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:20.760 waste set a time of record business for the WWF, 977 00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.920 it's the only one anyone wants to keep alive. And 978 00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:30.079 so point made. But yeah, definitely, definitely a good observation 979 00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:32.000 in that you got to remember, it's the end of 980 00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:33.880 whole comania when that belt comes out. It really is 981 00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:38.599 right beginning of the end, we should say. All right, 982 00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:44.519 so let's see. We also hear from Carlo who writes 983 00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:46.719 to us regarding out living Vince, and this is of 984 00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:49.360 course in reference to the CID tribute where we played 985 00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:51.159 a clip of a shoot interview remark he made one 986 00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:54.119 time about after leaving WWF, he would run the bleachers 987 00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:56.119 like he would do for his exercise, and then get 988 00:52:56.199 --> 00:52:58.440 to the top and spit and step down. And it 989 00:52:58.559 --> 00:53:01.400 was like, Vince, he was stepping on right. And he 990 00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:03.119 took solace in the idea that he was going to 991 00:53:03.119 --> 00:53:05.280 outlive Vince McMahon one day and feel like he won, 992 00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:07.320 because at the time of that interview he was at 993 00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.400 a very clear loggerheads with Vince McMahon. Carla makes a 994 00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:12.360 great observation regarding out living Vince and to bring my 995 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:19.280 English to gree to bear see lago and Othello Othello Iago, 996 00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:23.880 not lago Iago? Did he spell it right? Oh it's 997 00:53:23.880 --> 00:53:25.360 a capital I I'm sorry. I thought it was a 998 00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:31.559 lowercase l okay Iago and othello Othello. If that thou 999 00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:35.199 beest a devil, I cannot kill thee he stabs Iago, 1000 00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:41.280 Lodovico wrench his sword from him, or Othello is disarmed Iago, 1001 00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:42.480 I bleed, sir. 1002 00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:48.840 But not killed. M that's Vince, baby, that is Vince. 1003 00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:53.719 Of course, sid also had that weird fucking crash out 1004 00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:56.719 thing about the Israel character that he came up. Oh 1005 00:53:56.840 --> 00:54:00.679 my God, and Carlosa points out Genesis thirty two, twenty 1006 00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:02.960 two to thirty two. After Jacob wrestles with God, God 1007 00:54:03.039 --> 00:54:05.480 gives him a new gimmick, a new name, Israel. What 1008 00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.679 do you think about that? Pal mm And she wrestled 1009 00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:10.559 with God. That's me And every time you do, I'm 1010 00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:13.920 gonna break your body part your body apart, you worthless 1011 00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:16.840 piece of shit. I'm not a theologian, but I think 1012 00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:20.199 it went something like that. I mean, it's just too 1013 00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:22.199 rich some of the things that Sit ended up saying. 1014 00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:24.639 We also talked about it really is. I mean he 1015 00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:26.880 was such a I mean, what a bizarre He's sound 1016 00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:29.679 of his fucking mind, he really is. You hear the 1017 00:54:29.719 --> 00:54:34.480 guy talk for like twenty minutes and you're like, what, Like, 1018 00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:37.559 it's not psychobabble, it's not like he's speaking in tongues, 1019 00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:40.920 but it's like, like, why did you say all that? 1020 00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:41.159 Like? 1021 00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:41.599 What? What? 1022 00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:44.159 What point you're trying to make there? Like I followed 1023 00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:45.639 the words that came out of your mouth, but I'm 1024 00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:48.920 not understanding why you said that. That's like, what am 1025 00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:49.639 I supposed to write? 1026 00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:52.599 How is that to follow? 1027 00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:53.000 Right? 1028 00:54:53.239 --> 00:54:53.440 Right? 1029 00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:57.880 That's how he would say it. We also talk about Lambert's, 1030 00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:01.920 which is a restaurant that, uh, that was I believe 1031 00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:04.519 it came up. I'm not mistaken. Sid was trying to 1032 00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:06.320 recall where he met with Eric Bischoff to come back 1033 00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:08.440 in ninety nine. Was it a Cracker Bell or was 1034 00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:10.599 it a Lambert's? Or maybe he met someone at a 1035 00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:13.280 Lambert's down the street or something. Yeah, and we're like, 1036 00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:15.039 what is Lambert? We just won't hip to it, and 1037 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:17.760 Blake immediately pipes up, I saw Lambert's mentioned. I come 1038 00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:20.840 from Sykeston, which is in Missouri. Not sure if you 1039 00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:23.039 were aware of the story of the family when Todd. 1040 00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:27.880 I guess Todd is the progenitor of Lambert's restaurant. Of course, 1041 00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:31.119 this is the home of the throw role. I think 1042 00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:36.880 it's called where they actually they throw. They throw the 1043 00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:39.039 roll across the restaurant if you put your hand up 1044 00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.159 instead of delivering a basket of bread to your table. 1045 00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:44.039 I'm okay with that. It's kind of funny. Would I 1046 00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:45.440 would love to experience that? 1047 00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:47.400 And you tell me, would this be the story of 1048 00:55:48.199 --> 00:55:50.199 somebody who found out a restaurant chain that engaged in 1049 00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:52.840 such tactics. When Todd died, I'm sure high in cocaine 1050 00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.079 and ludes, Blake writes, just took it. Just look at 1051 00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:00.239 the face. Norman, the patriarch fell apart. He eventually shot 1052 00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:03.320 himself in his driveway, but there were rolls to be sold. 1053 00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:05.639 The later turmoil involved in one of the suns being 1054 00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:08.519 a child sex pest gentlemen, we are beyond the looking glass. 1055 00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:17.519 Here we are Vienna. Yeah that I'm down with. We 1056 00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:23.920 are Vienna. And he's sent us a tweet about someone 1057 00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:26.079 in the family and the guy who killed himself named Norman, 1058 00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:28.719 and it says the tweet says, it's just it's just 1059 00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:31.519 a screenshot, so it's it's kind of funny, and it's 1060 00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:33.440 just like someone tweeted this in all earnestness. 1061 00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:35.960 Norman got cancer and didn't want to be a burden 1062 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:39.400 to his family. He mowed front and backyard, washed both cars, 1063 00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:41.960 then blew his brains out with a handgun. What the 1064 00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:47.760 fuck Lambert's Lambert's darkness. That's right, So just the line says, 1065 00:56:48.599 --> 00:56:52.679 throwing a roll, all right, boss. The the end of 1066 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.280 the Bond Journey hit people in the fields, Luke wrote, 1067 00:56:55.360 --> 00:56:57.320 I wept watching this movie at the cinema. You know 1068 00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:01.599 what movie is talking about? Take care, guess well, no 1069 00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:04.280 time to die, No time to die.

Just beautifully done. 1072 00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:16.800 Stuff boys, Thanks UTC, Yep, Matt, Hello CoA chairs. I 1073 00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:18.840 was sick and tired of being a three sixteen tier 1074 00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:21.400 jobber and decided to politic my way into the mid 1075 00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:24.119 card by joining the executive producer Tear. I'm not sure 1076 00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:26.679 if anyone Lapsed Universe or the mainstream media has picked 1077 00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:27.920 up on this yet, but I wanted to share a 1078 00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:31.039 quick observation about Chapel Roane. Do you know Chapel Roane 1079 00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:33.679 Boss Chapel ron No, I don't know a singer. 1080 00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:34.000 Okay. 1081 00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:36.679 At the roughly fifty one second mark in her hit 1082 00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.280 single Pink Pony Club, she says club exactly like lapsed 1083 00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:45.599 Bruno Club, Merry Christmas in. 1084 00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:51.320 That that would be CLAHB Club.

I don't know why 1087 00:57:54.480 --> 00:57:56.320 should say it like that, but now I must find it. 1088 00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.880 He also wrote back this hilarious. He writes back and says, 1089 00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:02.679 I dropped the bisl I put Universe instead of Solar 1090 00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:05.480 System in my email. The pain and shame never rands 1091 00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:09.159 does not. There are proprieties around here, there are, you 1092 00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:14.239 know etiquette.

I forgot to tell an amusing story. I 1147 01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:05.400 was in a tag team with a man called Bruce Britton. 1148 01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:07.840 He had no shape at all, so someone nicknamed him 1149 01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:12.320 snake Hips. We were top of the bill against the 1150 01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:15.639 Coggins Brothers, glamour Boys of the South, white boot trunks 1151 01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:18.440 and jacket. Bruce arrives with an Ali Baba basket. It 1152 01:01:18.480 --> 01:01:20.800 had a snake inside. His friend had a pet shop, 1153 01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:23.239 so we were in the ring first to lots of booze. 1154 01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:25.000 I lift the lid off the basket and pulled the 1155 01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:27.000 snake out. It's limped like a piece of rope. 1156 01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:28.960 It had died. Oh. 1157 01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:32.280 I shook it about, draped it around Brook's neck. We 1158 01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:34.119 both had our hands on it. I then put it 1159 01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:36.400 around my neck. Then we looked like we fought to 1160 01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:38.880 get the snake back in the basket and had suffocated 1161 01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:41.079 because of the cigarette smoke. His friend was not too pleased. 1162 01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:44.280 In nineteen seventy one, it was worth seventy dollars all 1163 01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:48.159 the best, tony seventy pounds, all the best, Tony.

Yeah. 1197 01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:29.760 It really was refreshing to hear how head on he 1198 01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:32.440 was able to tackle those questions that I've always wondered about, 1199 01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:37.480 you know, those styles in early nineteen hundred's British club wrestling, 1200 01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:39.639 Like what what did the spectator think they were watching? 1201 01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:40.000 Like? 1202 01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:42.800 Right, did the spectator think it was real?

They were out there, 1206 01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:53.440 you know, exaggerating and trying to get laughs out of 1207 01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:54.960 the crowd as much as they were trying to get 1208 01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:57.400 you know, a dramatic rise out of them is just wonderful. 1209 01:03:57.920 --> 01:04:01.719 And if we did nothing else in podcasting to surface 1210 01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:03.519 the story of a guy like that, or a guy 1211 01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:05.440 like Tom Fleming who worked for ww F in the 1212 01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:08.039 art department, these little moments and opportunities we've had talking 1213 01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:11.400 to fucking Brell Kurt Fuller, mm hmm, these little moments 1214 01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:13.920 where we actually like talk to the outside world and 1215 01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:17.840 in some cases elevate the stories trick me under the 1216 01:04:17.880 --> 01:04:20.480 cinemat yep of people that you never would have really 1217 01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:22.719 known about the contributions that that would have made it 1218 01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:25.800 worth it. Another miss of relative to a gift under 1219 01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:28.280 our tree this year is part of the unwrappening. Remember 1220 01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:30.119 we got a copy of the European Rampage show in 1221 01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:32.000 Germany and one on a big wrong thing about what 1222 01:04:32.159 --> 01:04:36.320 is European Rampage, because there's twenty three shows named European Rampage. 1223 01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:40.320 Ben who sent the gift from Germany, was quick to 1224 01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:44.519 follow up immediately to let us know his perspective on 1225 01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:47.880 things and try to delineate show from show. Dear coach Chairman, 1226 01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:50.719 this follow up emeal is necessary for different reasons. First off, 1227 01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:53.800 you asked yourself how merry Christmas is said in German, Well, 1228 01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:55.880 that's freu wine Hutchin. 1229 01:04:56.480 --> 01:04:59.679 I hope I didn't screw it up too badly freu Viimhunchin. 1230 01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:01.960 At the end of my letter that you butchered would 1231 01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:03.679 have been it, Yeah, butcher did. All right, Yeah, it's 1232 01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:07.199 Vine right you pronounced w V. Then you wanted to 1233 01:05:07.239 --> 01:05:08.719 know what I had against the Pain in the Pacific 1234 01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:11.440 series and you wanted to follow up on that. Oh yeah, 1235 01:05:11.480 --> 01:05:13.159 I forget this. Let me say first, I'm a big 1236 01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:14.880 fan for almost a decade now, and I've listened to 1237 01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:17.440 every single TLF episode multiple times, so it's very rare 1238 01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:19.199 that I don't dig what you, chairman offer. And I 1239 01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:21.480 also encountered countless times when you drop something that I 1240 01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:23.480 was skeptical about it first and then totally in love 1241 01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:25.639 while listening to it. So that is that the only 1242 01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:27.400 exception in all these years is the Pain in the 1243 01:05:27.440 --> 01:05:30.559 Pacific series. I liked the North Korea episode and everything 1244 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:34.840 after that felt like you guys say, changiyachi, pumba gachi, 1245 01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:37.559 and sompahachi for. 1246 01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:38.440 Hours on end. 1247 01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:45.039 I was very surprised myself and glad when it was over. 1248 01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:47.440 But since you guys are so proud of it and 1249 01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:49.360 I normally love everything you take a deep dive on, 1250 01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:51.199 I will give it a second try in the new year. 1251 01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:54.039 That's the spirit, Ben. But what about again, I don't 1252 01:05:54.079 --> 01:05:54.719 know what about it? 1253 01:05:54.840 --> 01:05:56.239 What was I don't know. 1254 01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:58.599 He just doesn't think it's funny when we have a 1255 01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:01.239 laugh at the way words are pretty instant Japanese. Oh, 1256 01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:06.119 I mean, I'm yeah, okay, I mean it's fair. It's 1257 01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:08.800 there's some legendary matches too, that we had a lot 1258 01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:10.559 of fun with. When I think of pan Off s Pacific, 1259 01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:13.000 I don't think of like. I don't think of laughing 1260 01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:15.760 at the Japanese announcers. I think of a ready Savage 1261 01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:19.079 versus nature Tenryo, like I think of power bombs where 1262 01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:21.079 he's being stacked up like he's a junior heavyweight. 1263 01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:25.000 I think of I think of Randy Savage not knowing 1264 01:06:25.039 --> 01:06:29.480 who Lanny is, and Lanny, uh, you know, watching Elizabeth 1265 01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:31.559 for Randy when he's overseas. 1266 01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:35.480 That's where that came. From That's exactly right. I do 1267 01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:37.840 think he Chubon is Hogan's on, but I think of 1268 01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:39.599 a Axi boom bag, you know, I think of like 1269 01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:42.639 I think of Hogan. I mean this step over and 1270 01:06:42.760 --> 01:06:46.280 maybe maybe it's the you know, I don't have to 1271 01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:49.119 go and and and re listen to it myself, but 1272 01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:53.320 I for me anyway, it's not necessarily the im I 1273 01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:57.159 don't want to be laughing or making fun of the words. 1274 01:06:57.159 --> 01:07:01.119 It's really the enthusiasm. Yeah, well, the announcers and I 1275 01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:03.920 just don't know how to say Japanese words, so murder. 1276 01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:06.280 Every time someone does something right, it's like it's more 1277 01:07:06.320 --> 01:07:10.199 about how they scream and and are you know, just 1278 01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:14.800 fucking blowing blood vessels left and right that I think 1279 01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:18.480 is hilarious just because of their intensity, Like it's amazing. 1280 01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:20.760 I mean, and again I don't know how to say. 1281 01:07:20.920 --> 01:07:22.599 If I knew how to say Japanese words, I would 1282 01:07:22.599 --> 01:07:24.599 be more respectful of the Japanese words, but I don't. 1283 01:07:25.239 --> 01:07:28.719 I don't know Japanese, so it's I if I'm going 1284 01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:34.840 to imitate a Japanese commentator, it's gonna be complete nonsense. 1285 01:07:35.119 --> 01:07:36.719 I'm just here for at the top of my lungs 1286 01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:39.719 Hogan stepping over into an armbar exactly. You know what 1287 01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:42.719 I mean. We're fucking doing a drop toe hold, you know, 1288 01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:45.840 into a yeah, like come on, yeah, when he does 1289 01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:50.360 the fucking rolling arm bar, that's just you know, we're 1290 01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:51.719 in a whole different level here, right. 1291 01:07:52.519 --> 01:07:54.119 And last, but not the least, he writes, I wanted 1292 01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:56.440 to clear up the European Rampage nineteen ninety two BS. 1293 01:07:56.679 --> 01:07:58.519 That name was used so often by the WWE that 1294 01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:00.639 it stays confusing to you. I noticed all that other 1295 01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:03.280 European Rampage nineteen ninety two stuff aside. The event you 1296 01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:05.960 got from me is a German only event from Munich 1297 01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:07.880 which ushered in the Golden. 1298 01:08:07.559 --> 01:08:10.599 Period over here. Very interesting as far as I know. 1299 01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:13.519 The Colisseum European Rampage nineteen ninety two also has a 1300 01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:15.079 Savage versus h Tobk match? 1301 01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:17.239 Is that true? Do you resin? Yeah, yeah, we did 1302 01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:19.800 that one. Then it has the Sid and Sid and 1303 01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:22.439 Undertaker match, but that is after WrestleMania two. 1304 01:08:22.600 --> 01:08:25.399 But that is from London. WrestleMania right, nineteen ninety two? 1305 01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:29.159 You mean yeah, you said WrestleMania too. You mean WrestleMania 1306 01:08:29.159 --> 01:08:31.560 in Russlania. Yeah, Wrestlinia eight rather, but that. 1307 01:08:31.640 --> 01:08:32.279 Is from London. 1308 01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:34.640 Maybe one or two of the Munich matches also made 1309 01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:36.239 it to the other cassettes, but this event as a 1310 01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:38.840 whole is forgotten by time and surely was never on 1311 01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:41.159 the network because it only exists in German and was, 1312 01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:43.159 as far as I know, only released in Germany. 1313 01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:43.720 Back then. 1314 01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:46.319 The ww station Tel Aviv made it a big weekend 1315 01:08:46.359 --> 01:08:48.680 sports special. That is the version I've sent you this year, 1316 01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:51.279 and they also released it as a German cassette. That's 1317 01:08:51.319 --> 01:08:53.840 the version from last year. So I'm ninety nine percent 1318 01:08:53.960 --> 01:08:56.000 sure that you have not seen the show before, you 1319 01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:58.079 would remember a good two hours of the Finest nineteen 1320 01:08:58.119 --> 01:09:01.439 ninety two German commentary by Karston Shah. Trust me, I think, 1321 01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:03.560 oh yes, I think the show has some amusing moments. 1322 01:09:03.680 --> 01:09:06.479 Hitman wants to fuck, the interview Lady the Bulldog is 1323 01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:09.399 on all wow, good old times. Plus Germany was totally 1324 01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:11.760 on fire with the WWF in nineteen ninety two. So 1325 01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:13.399 if you guys want to give it the treatment, let 1326 01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:15.159 me know in advance and I'll give you back story, 1327 01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:17.960 translations and everything.

That motherfucker. 1330 01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:23.840 Enough of all that, he writes, I hope you guys 1331 01:09:23.880 --> 01:09:25.000 haven't say there were two. 1332 01:09:25.079 --> 01:09:27.319 He gave us two, yeah, he said, the year before 1333 01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:28.760 he gave us the one that was released as a 1334 01:09:28.840 --> 01:09:32.119 German VHS cassette. Oh so it's that European rampage, but 1335 01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:33.840 this is the one that aired just to say television 1336 01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:37.880 special and wasn't released as a standalone VHS tape. 1337 01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:39.279 Enough of all that. 1338 01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:41.359 I hope you guys have an awesome Christmas with your 1339 01:09:41.439 --> 01:09:44.159 loved ones.

Exactly? 1353 01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:26.920 I love the homie Zack's insights. He immediately picked up 1354 01:10:26.920 --> 01:10:30.239 on this one on Sid. He wrote on Patreon, someone 1355 01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:32.880 like Sid thinks they're a great liar because of the 1356 01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:37.000 details in their lies. M But the extra small details 1357 01:10:37.199 --> 01:10:39.680 just clue everyone with half a brain to the fact 1358 01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:42.840 that this fool is lying to me. Yes, isn't that 1359 01:10:42.920 --> 01:10:45.880 the truth? Yes, he's got these big convoluted like I 1360 01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:47.880 walked in the door.

Myron isn't with that, Myron 1367 01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:05.520 writes on Patreon. Why did they only do ten deep 1368 01:11:05.560 --> 01:11:09.520 dives for Sid? Is it because he's not a big 1369 01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:10.800 movie star like Hull Cogan? 1370 01:11:16.039 --> 01:11:17.159 Yes?

I said that it seemed like he 1451 01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:43.319 had a loving family than Frank. 1452 01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:45.279 Poor kid. 1453 01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:50.840 And still, after what forty hours William Wright's of the 1454 01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:53.520 most definitive testimony to Sid's life, I still don't know 1455 01:15:54.119 --> 01:15:56.680 what made him tick. I'm going to have to go 1456 01:15:56.760 --> 01:15:58.000 back and do it again and see if I can 1457 01:15:58.079 --> 01:16:00.640 glean more clarity. Thank you, gentlemen for your service, and 1458 01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:02.479 Maysanta Claus bring you out what you want, but what 1459 01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:05.399 you need. That one was that was a hidden gem, 1460 01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:06.159 that Sid thing. 1461 01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:08.439 Yeah really was really was. 1462 01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:10.560 Lucas mckechern. We want to thank you very much for 1463 01:16:10.680 --> 01:16:12.880 your generous pledge and hope you enjoy the content that 1464 01:16:13.039 --> 01:16:16.319 it affords you. Scott writes new utc Er. I was 1465 01:16:16.359 --> 01:16:18.479 walking in my house, clicked on this, puzzled what it 1466 01:16:18.520 --> 01:16:20.960 could be, and I stopped and stared when the boss 1467 01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:22.800 said what it was? What do you think he was 1468 01:16:22.880 --> 01:16:23.319 referring to. 1469 01:16:25.640 --> 01:16:28.039 I believe I saw that. I think it was the 1470 01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:29.520 Home Alone Christmas Special. 1471 01:16:29.600 --> 01:16:32.479 Yes, the under the Centiment twenty two Christmas Special, which 1472 01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:34.760 you posted without any hint in the title is time. 1473 01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:36.680 I don't ever, that's the thing I do Christmas, the 1474 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:40.119 Christmas specials, never any That's what it is. It's the 1475 01:16:40.199 --> 01:16:43.439 Christmas Special. There's no I don't want any give me clue. 1476 01:16:43.439 --> 01:16:44.079 It's a surprise. 1477 01:16:45.439 --> 01:16:47.079 We talked a little bit in the Sid Journey about 1478 01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:51.119 a company that Sid worked for way later when he 1479 01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:53.000 was doing some indie shots in his last years in 1480 01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:55.840 the ring, called aw R and Steve and are men 1481 01:16:55.920 --> 01:16:58.479 on the ground in Ireland quickly jumped in intoid a 1482 01:16:58.479 --> 01:17:01.119 small correction for Jack A double A was an Irish 1483 01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:04.760 wrestling company. American Wrestling Rampage. Okay, oh you got that straight. 1484 01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:09.760 American Wrestling Rampage was an Irish promotion They did frequent 1485 01:17:09.800 --> 01:17:10.479 tours of Europe. 1486 01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:12.880 To be confused with the European Rampage. That's a whole 1487 01:17:12.880 --> 01:17:16.800 different thing that was in America exactly. I understand African 1488 01:17:16.920 --> 01:17:20.079 Rampage was in Columbia as well. Yes, that's what I heard. 1489 01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:23.079 They did frequent tours of Europe with guys like Sid 1490 01:17:23.119 --> 01:17:24.960 and Brett Hart. All the Irish wrestlers I've talked to 1491 01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:26.640 have nothing but good things to say about working with 1492 01:17:26.640 --> 01:17:29.279 Brett on these shows. RVD and Dupree were also semi 1493 01:17:29.319 --> 01:17:32.159 regulars on the Irish scene, and we're champions in AWR. 1494 01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:36.199 AWR itself was the precursor to OTT. I know, Ott. Yeah, 1495 01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:40.680 the Irish promotion. The elite worked at Scrapplemania three Steve Wrights. 1496 01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:42.840 If I ever choose to go bankrupt, it will be 1497 01:17:43.159 --> 01:17:46.359 trying to get that into the hopper. Wow, all right, 1498 01:17:46.359 --> 01:17:49.000 I want to watch one day that the Young Bucks 1499 01:17:49.079 --> 01:17:53.479 breakthroughs as global indie sensations and an Irish wrestling promotion. 1500 01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:58.399 Boss. I mean, honestly, I would be fascinaing to see that. Nice, 1501 01:17:58.760 --> 01:17:59.880 I would be fastening to see that. 1502 01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:02.960 Well, Steve, I mean Savior Pennies, So go for it. 1503 01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:07.800 Graveyard entertainment rights. Sid is the carneist of the Carnie. 1504 01:18:07.840 --> 01:18:08.920 That podcast proves it. 1505 01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:09.439 Damn. 1506 01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:18.560 Jorome writes to us, Sid's passing was the greatest gift 1507 01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:21.039 to this podcast because this tribute served us the perfect 1508 01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:23.560 ending to the tenth year. That montage of him talking 1509 01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:26.560 about Vienna's was absurd, hilarious, Oh my, sad and oddly moving, 1510 01:18:26.640 --> 01:18:27.720 tlf and a nutshell. 1511 01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:30.399 I couldn't. I could not handle that. What were you 1512 01:18:30.479 --> 01:18:35.279 going through? I mean I was. After about the first 1513 01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:41.039 ten seconds, I put my thing on mute because I knew. 1514 01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:46.600 I knew that I didn't want to be heard during this, 1515 01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:52.399 and I also knew I could not contain myself listening 1516 01:18:52.439 --> 01:18:52.640 to this. 1517 01:18:53.039 --> 01:18:55.920 I lost it when he said stuff, tell somebody that 1518 01:18:56.000 --> 01:19:02.079 can't have a can of viennas, like we all sympathize. 1519 01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:06.600 What is this talking about? Where did you come from? 1520 01:19:07.880 --> 01:19:12.359 It's tough Jack, Tracy, So tough Jack Tracy. There's a 1521 01:19:12.439 --> 01:19:14.039 name for the ages. Thank you very much for your 1522 01:19:14.079 --> 01:19:17.560 Patreon pledge. Welcome in, Jeff writes to us on Patreon. 1523 01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:19.640 And in the end, the autograph pictures you take is 1524 01:19:19.720 --> 01:19:20.359 equal to the. 1525 01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:21.159 Vn as you make. 1526 01:19:24.880 --> 01:19:26.920 Chad writes, I've got questions, had a few questions for 1527 01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:28.399 you when you get around a Q and A one 1528 01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:31.279 maybe somewhat relevant to the CID era and ninety two WWF. 1529 01:19:31.399 --> 01:19:34.720 Have you ever contemplated a world boss where late ninety 1530 01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:36.479 two Vince had made a play to get Piper back 1531 01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:38.800 and put the world title on Piper instead of Brett. 1532 01:19:39.399 --> 01:19:45.920 Oh my god, No, I've never thought of that once, 1533 01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:48.960 Not one s has that ever crossed my mind. 1534 01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:50.640 I don't think it would work. I don't know if 1535 01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:52.640 Piper going in in ninety three is some is a 1536 01:19:52.720 --> 01:19:55.880 recipe for success. I feel like we got the answer 1537 01:19:55.880 --> 01:19:58.199 at King of the Ring ninety four what Piper was 1538 01:19:58.239 --> 01:19:59.560 worth in that era, and it wasn't. 1539 01:19:59.439 --> 01:20:04.199 Much even I mean he was listen his his ninety 1540 01:20:04.279 --> 01:20:08.399 one ninety two run was obviously for me, it was 1541 01:20:09.399 --> 01:20:14.560 just wonderful, wonderful, absolutely, because I that's that's what I remember, 1542 01:20:14.840 --> 01:20:16.760 you know, that was right right there in that sweet 1543 01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:17.279 spot for me. 1544 01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:19.720 But that was a Piper who was like but transitioned 1545 01:20:19.720 --> 01:20:21.920 out of the ring, had the hit problem, was an 1546 01:20:21.920 --> 01:20:23.920 announcer and was forced to come off the bench to 1547 01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:26.199 kick ass one more time. That wasn't a Piper, that right, 1548 01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:28.600 was going to be the best you know, wrestler in 1549 01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:29.760 the promotion, thus reigning war. 1550 01:20:29.880 --> 01:20:31.960 I mean, listen, there's a part of me that damn 1551 01:20:32.000 --> 01:20:37.159 well wished he fucking won the Royal Rumble ninety two. Yeah, 1552 01:20:37.359 --> 01:20:39.479 just to say that he fucking won both titles in 1553 01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:39.920 one night. 1554 01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:41.560 Does it get any better than when he comes out 1555 01:20:41.560 --> 01:20:44.880 against Flair. I could watch that every day. That's amazing 1556 01:20:44.920 --> 01:20:45.760 for the rest of my life. 1557 01:20:46.279 --> 01:20:49.840 Yep, yep. And then because you know what, ultimately it 1558 01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:55.000 leads into this great fucking this great bit bye bye 1559 01:20:55.319 --> 01:21:00.319 by Bobby Heenan, because then Jake's the next one out, 1560 01:21:01.079 --> 01:21:05.640 and so Jake then attacks both Piper and Flair and 1561 01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:08.960 Pipe and then Piper goes after Jake, and Bobby Heenen says, 1562 01:21:09.399 --> 01:21:12.479 it's not a skirt, it's a kilt. It's a kilt. 1563 01:21:12.600 --> 01:21:16.840 It's not a skirt. Then Piper goes to work on Flair. 1564 01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:20.319 It's not a kilt, it's a skirt. Wow, he goes 1565 01:21:20.439 --> 01:21:22.359 right back to it. He goes right back to it 1566 01:21:22.720 --> 01:21:28.039 in mere minutes. Just some of the best like it's 1567 01:21:28.239 --> 01:21:29.760 it's you want. 1568 01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:33.800 To say it what Bobby Heenan, Bobby Heenan's Royal Rumbled 1569 01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:37.000 nineteen ninety two call is the greatest call in the 1570 01:21:37.079 --> 01:21:38.279 history of professional wrestling. 1571 01:21:39.079 --> 01:21:42.800 Yes, easily, easily, I couldn't. I you can't disagree with 1572 01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:49.399 that easily. It's so brilliant. There's so much it's. 1573 01:21:49.319 --> 01:21:49.920 The uh. 1574 01:21:52.720 --> 01:21:58.760 Because he's he's, he's in the he's he's just torn 1575 01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:02.960 on so many different areas because he does have loyalties 1576 01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:06.000 to other wrestlers, but none are as important as Flair. 1577 01:22:07.720 --> 01:22:10.560 He gets Flair way over, Yes, he does. I mean 1578 01:22:10.600 --> 01:22:13.039 without him as the voice as the soundtrack to Flair 1579 01:22:13.079 --> 01:22:15.279 coming into WWF, it would have hit the skids a 1580 01:22:15.319 --> 01:22:16.159 lot earlier than it did. 1581 01:22:16.720 --> 01:22:24.399 I think way way more valuable for Flair as a 1582 01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:28.960 commentator and a financial advisor, yes, than a manager or 1583 01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:34.159 executive consultant. No question, Well there you go. 1584 01:22:34.439 --> 01:22:35.960 No, I haven't considered it, and I'm not sure it 1585 01:22:35.960 --> 01:22:38.920 would work, but Piper electrified me in that era. Man, 1586 01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:41.359 I've been considering all the options. It might not have 1587 01:22:41.399 --> 01:22:42.279 been a bad one if they had. 1588 01:22:42.479 --> 01:22:46.319 I mean, if you had maybe, if you had you know, 1589 01:22:46.560 --> 01:22:49.039 Piper win. I mean, I'll tell you what, this could 1590 01:22:49.039 --> 01:22:54.239 be interesting if Piper does win the title. But you 1591 01:22:54.359 --> 01:22:58.039 are trying to go to Brett, have Brett win the 1592 01:22:58.119 --> 01:23:01.600 ninety three Rumble, Yeah, and then you have Piper and 1593 01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:05.600 Brett have a rematch'd at WrestleMania nine. 1594 01:23:05.920 --> 01:23:10.000 But again, that's like, that's putting the title on Piper, 1595 01:23:10.119 --> 01:23:11.920 not because we want to see Piper rain. It's it's 1596 01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:13.600 putting the title on Piper because it's a way to 1597 01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:15.560 get to Brett, which is great. I'm not saying it's bad, 1598 01:23:15.600 --> 01:23:17.520 but I think what he's asking us to consider it 1599 01:23:17.600 --> 01:23:19.760 is putting the belt on Piper to see what he 1600 01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:20.359 can do with it. 1601 01:23:22.079 --> 01:23:24.520 I don't think he don't much guy at that point. 1602 01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:26.000 I don't mean ever was that guy? 1603 01:23:26.159 --> 01:23:26.199 Not? 1604 01:23:26.319 --> 01:23:26.560 Really? 1605 01:23:26.640 --> 01:23:28.239 No, I don't think so. I think he could have 1606 01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:30.840 been a good heel champion eighty five. Hogan could have 1607 01:23:30.880 --> 01:23:32.079 chased him for like a year and a half and 1608 01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:33.399 they could have made a lot more money than they 1609 01:23:33.439 --> 01:23:38.279 did together. But at that point in Piper's career. Maybe always, 1610 01:23:38.319 --> 01:23:41.600 if we really think about it, it was Piper's appeal 1611 01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:43.760 was what would it look like if Piper got in 1612 01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:46.600 this guy's face. It wasn't Piper right in and of himself. 1613 01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:49.520 That was money. It was always what does Piper do 1614 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:52.039 to mister two? It was how Piper matched up with 1615 01:23:52.119 --> 01:23:53.960 different people on the mic and in the ring. That 1616 01:23:54.039 --> 01:23:57.239 intrigued us, not so much Piper reigning as champion, you know, 1617 01:23:57.520 --> 01:23:59.600 and taking on all comers that I don't think that 1618 01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:02.199 would work. It's like, you got to build up. People 1619 01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:04.239 want to see Piper go after this guy, not build 1620 01:24:04.319 --> 01:24:06.720 up other guys going after Piper. That just doesn't right, 1621 01:24:07.600 --> 01:24:09.680 even if he's a gray baby face at that time. 1622 01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:11.960 And he writes number two is the Colosseum collection still 1623 01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:15.239 going to be a thing? You keep fucking tuned, Chad, 1624 01:24:16.039 --> 01:24:18.840 because the video store never closes around here, and damn right. 1625 01:24:19.039 --> 01:24:21.079 Thanks for Vienna Mania and keep up the good work. Well, 1626 01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:24.880 thank you, pal for the letter. Christopher also writes, when 1627 01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:27.239 this started the Sid tribute, I felt Sid wasn't interesting 1628 01:24:27.279 --> 01:24:28.520 to cover for more than one episode. 1629 01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:29.119 I was wrong. 1630 01:24:29.520 --> 01:24:31.960 Sid's a TLF cornerstone, and this has proven it to me. 1631 01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:34.319 It hit me in the ass like a shot. I've 1632 01:24:34.359 --> 01:24:37.680 looked forward to each episode since. Yeah, because it's not 1633 01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:40.239 that Sid in and of himself, deserves like this. It's 1634 01:24:40.279 --> 01:24:43.560 a Sid is It's so TLF like who he was 1635 01:24:43.760 --> 01:24:46.399 and the way he talked and the way he decided 1636 01:24:46.439 --> 01:24:50.279 to move through the world is just exactly what we're 1637 01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:54.800 out to analyze on this show. Like he's not a 1638 01:24:54.880 --> 01:24:57.039 SID tribute wouldn't really make sense. I don't think on 1639 01:24:57.079 --> 01:24:59.279 any other podcast or any other wrestling news thing. 1640 01:24:59.319 --> 01:24:59.800 I mean, you do it. 1641 01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:04.279 He dies, of course, but his career doesn't really warrant 1642 01:25:04.319 --> 01:25:09.680 examination unless you have the peccadillos we do about the business, 1643 01:25:09.760 --> 01:25:11.239 you know, and look for the things we look for, 1644 01:25:11.399 --> 01:25:13.159 and then all of a sudden, he's the fucking the 1645 01:25:13.279 --> 01:25:17.600 ultimate gold mine, which is another ruzon detra for us. 1646 01:25:19.399 --> 01:25:21.720 Adam writes, the other podcast are competing for who's going 1647 01:25:21.760 --> 01:25:24.520 to be number two? Number one is already written in stone. 1648 01:25:25.319 --> 01:25:28.279 He also writes SID culturally in twenty twenty four, Vienna 1649 01:25:28.319 --> 01:25:31.720 sausages child neglect being on the cover of Art of 1650 01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:36.239 Rap Albums thoroughly dissected by the best goddamn podcast out there. 1651 01:25:37.399 --> 01:25:39.600 That's how we're living boss going into twenty twenty five. 1652 01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:41.199 That's yeah, so we're flowing. 1653 01:25:41.640 --> 01:25:42.279 Absolutely. 1654 01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:43.760 When I was going through some of the opponents that 1655 01:25:43.840 --> 01:25:46.119 SID acrossed in that last decade on the indies, one 1656 01:25:46.119 --> 01:25:47.920 of them was Big Larry, which I was not aware 1657 01:25:48.359 --> 01:25:51.640 was a former wrestling name of the current Sammy z 1658 01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:54.640 Ain of WWE and Sam from Michigan was quick to 1659 01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:57.359 mention on Patreon Jack casually dropping a Big Larry reference 1660 01:25:57.399 --> 01:25:58.520 and not mentioning that he would go on to be 1661 01:25:58.520 --> 01:26:00.800 Samy's Ain as hilarious. I will, I do not know that, 1662 01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:03.680 So that wasn't me being cute with it. 1663 01:26:03.720 --> 01:26:05.479 Wait, what I don't understand. 1664 01:26:05.600 --> 01:26:08.600 Big Larry was a former name of Sammy's ain. Oh 1665 01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:10.600 and when we were reading some of the guys sid 1666 01:26:10.640 --> 01:26:12.880 wrestled on the indies, Big Larry was one of them. 1667 01:26:13.119 --> 01:26:15.079 And I think Sam thought I breezed by it, knowing 1668 01:26:15.159 --> 01:26:17.840 full well who he was, when I didn't. He provided 1669 01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:21.479 a great YouTube link where apparently, I mean, I don't 1670 01:26:21.479 --> 01:26:23.479 know what to make of it. He's speaking in almost 1671 01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:26.880 like a like a give accent, and he's it's it's 1672 01:26:27.039 --> 01:26:31.399 it's Sammy's Ain trying to pass himself off as someone 1673 01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:35.439 who's not a Caucasian, which I don't know if you 1674 01:26:35.960 --> 01:26:38.159 it's very I don't writ anything about this gimmick, but 1675 01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:40.760 it is very strange and very against type, and I 1676 01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:42.479 would urge folks to check it out. I love more 1677 01:26:42.520 --> 01:26:46.560 color on Big Larry was all about who apparently getting 1678 01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:49.880 color what right Urban Douglas is. He's getting green. He 1679 01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:52.119 came in big with a recent pledge on Patreon and 1680 01:26:52.199 --> 01:26:53.960 is now entitled to all kinds of good He's mister 1681 01:26:54.039 --> 01:26:55.960 fake entertainment. It goes for him too, as he's up 1682 01:26:56.039 --> 01:26:59.520 the pledge significantly. Matt Anderson knows where it's at, and 1683 01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:03.199 now he's ep in style and in substance work great 1684 01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:07.720 midget rights to us. WCW had a standard CGL policy. Yes, 1685 01:27:07.760 --> 01:27:09.479 we have folks in the solar system that know about 1686 01:27:09.479 --> 01:27:13.000 life insurance boss and work with insurance. Oh my god, 1687 01:27:13.239 --> 01:27:16.279 we have so many. He Sid made a third party 1688 01:27:16.439 --> 01:27:20.680 over action claim high level and without the complaint. WCW 1689 01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:24.520 insurance Company attempted to claim SID was an employee of WCW, 1690 01:27:24.680 --> 01:27:27.399 thus the fellow employee exclusion was applicable. But SID was 1691 01:27:27.479 --> 01:27:30.079 ten ninety nine, so the exclusion was not applicable. Hence 1692 01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:31.600 WCW was granted coverage. 1693 01:27:31.640 --> 01:27:35.680 Got that, No, but sure, thanks for the clarification. 1694 01:27:36.800 --> 01:27:38.920 That's one man, you know, no matter how many times 1695 01:27:38.960 --> 01:27:41.840 I read over stuff about the insurance, it's it's very hard, 1696 01:27:42.479 --> 01:27:46.720 yeah to sink in. But yeah, so SID is trying 1697 01:27:46.720 --> 01:27:49.880 to claim like he he wasn't. Wait a minute, hold on, 1698 01:27:52.159 --> 01:27:55.720 there's an exclusion not applicable. There's an exclusion to what 1699 01:27:55.920 --> 01:27:58.920 though attempted to claim Sid was an employee of WCW. Okay, 1700 01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:01.439 So the insurance company of WCW was trying to claim 1701 01:28:01.439 --> 01:28:03.760 he was an employee because apparently if they could prove that, 1702 01:28:03.800 --> 01:28:06.399 they wouldn't have to pay as much or they wouldn't. Oh, 1703 01:28:06.720 --> 01:28:09.000 you couldn't argue that Sid wasn't paid by what they 1704 01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:12.279 paid WCW. Okay, this is correctact. Remember that they're like, 1705 01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:14.920 we already paid WCW, and Sid's like, well, I don't 1706 01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:18.560 work for WCW. So whatever clause you think means that 1707 01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:21.399 I get paid what I'm paid just because what I 1708 01:28:21.520 --> 01:28:24.079 deserve to be paid because you paid WCW doesn't apply 1709 01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:26.199 because the way wrestling works, I am not an employee, 1710 01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:30.199 So I'm not like you know, somebody that I can sue. 1711 01:28:30.239 --> 01:28:32.119 I'm like a third party of this whole thing. I'm 1712 01:28:32.199 --> 01:28:36.239 not an employee of WCW. The WCW gets paid for 1713 01:28:36.439 --> 01:28:38.319 the injury and then give some to me. No, I'm 1714 01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:41.000 on the outside of this whole arrangement. They got paid 1715 01:28:41.039 --> 01:28:43.079 for revenue that they can claim they lost because I 1716 01:28:43.119 --> 01:28:45.319 couldn't perform for them, but they didn't share any of 1717 01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:48.560 it with me. He did get something, but he didn't 1718 01:28:48.560 --> 01:28:50.039 get as much as he wanted, or something like that. 1719 01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:53.319 So God damn, I'm just glad that work Greate Midget 1720 01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:55.279 is out there the next time we have an insurance issue. 1721 01:28:55.319 --> 01:28:56.119 That's all I have to say. 1722 01:28:56.119 --> 01:28:58.880 Okay, but I hope for anyone that was confused by 1723 01:28:58.880 --> 01:29:00.920 that part of the CID journey that what I just 1724 01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:04.039 read to clarify something, or rather, Jared writes to us. 1725 01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:09.760 This is important because the subject line boss is something 1726 01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:12.640 we don't say as much as we used to, but 1727 01:29:12.960 --> 01:29:15.439 it still rings. And that's for a reason. No longer 1728 01:29:15.479 --> 01:29:20.359 a free loading bitch hmm. It is with great humility 1729 01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:24.279 and a reckoning of my freeloading ways that I write 1730 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:27.760 to inform you I have ceased to be a freeloading bitch. 1731 01:29:27.840 --> 01:29:32.000 Gratulations. I have joined the EP tier, finally taking responsibility 1732 01:29:32.079 --> 01:29:35.319 for the immeasurable joy you've brought into my life this year. 1733 01:29:36.520 --> 01:29:38.880 My journey here has been unexpected for years. A close 1734 01:29:38.960 --> 01:29:42.279 friend and Solar System member insisted I listened to your show. 1735 01:29:42.359 --> 01:29:47.000 I resisted staunchly. Yes, you did. I don't like podcasts, 1736 01:29:48.279 --> 01:29:50.239 and I certainly wasn't going to commit to a five 1737 01:29:50.399 --> 01:29:54.319 plus hours of one. But earlier this year I finally caved, 1738 01:29:54.359 --> 01:30:00.199 and life would never be the same, right right. I'm 1739 01:30:00.239 --> 01:30:02.880 not a chronological listener. I pick and choose the shows 1740 01:30:02.920 --> 01:30:06.319 that appeal to me. I've journeyed through Scarblade and the Mains, 1741 01:30:06.359 --> 01:30:12.520 and most recently, I finished the painfully satisfying Teenage Journey. 1742 01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:17.039 I truly could not wait for it to end, but 1743 01:30:17.079 --> 01:30:19.319 at the same time I needed it to keep going. 1744 01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:23.000 Each of these has left a permanent mark. The true 1745 01:30:23.079 --> 01:30:25.840 depths of the podcast penetration in my life became apparent 1746 01:30:26.119 --> 01:30:29.399 when I took my youngest son, YEP, to his first 1747 01:30:29.640 --> 01:30:33.279 WWE event in Buffalo as Bianca Belle air pinned Tiffany Stratton. 1748 01:30:33.600 --> 01:30:43.199 I heard him count out loud one two fornoli. He 1749 01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:49.560 did not what he says. That was the moment I 1750 01:30:49.640 --> 01:30:52.119 knew this was no longer just a podcast. It was 1751 01:30:52.640 --> 01:30:57.920 a way of life. YEP. When Spotify wrapped revealed over 1752 01:30:58.079 --> 01:31:02.520 thirty one thousand minutes of sports podcast this year, could 1753 01:31:02.600 --> 01:31:05.239 no longer bear the shape. I could no longer bear 1754 01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:08.840 the shame of freeloading. I knew those minutes did not 1755 01:31:08.920 --> 01:31:12.479 truly belong to that category, but alas Spotify does not 1756 01:31:12.840 --> 01:31:16.960 have a separate category for that fake shit, right, it 1757 01:31:17.079 --> 01:31:19.720 was clear as day now the time had come to 1758 01:31:19.800 --> 01:31:23.760 step up, pay my dues and support the unmatched excellence 1759 01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:26.840 you provide. Of course, as we know, this is America, 1760 01:31:26.920 --> 01:31:30.439 so my generosity isn't completely selfless. This is a transactional 1761 01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:33.399 relationship after all. Let's be real, correct, this is mostly 1762 01:31:33.439 --> 01:31:36.880 about me wanting access to be under the cinematic content. 1763 01:31:37.720 --> 01:31:39.840 That said, I'm happy to give back in exchange for 1764 01:31:39.920 --> 01:31:42.399 all the amazing work you do. Thank you for the 1765 01:31:42.479 --> 01:31:45.560 end of this laughter inside an absurdity, and thank you 1766 01:31:45.640 --> 01:31:51.600 for hule Commania. Proud to now Stand Tall? Wait shit, 1767 01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:55.520 what happened here? Why is this doing this? Brother? Okay, 1768 01:31:56.279 --> 01:31:58.680 he's proud to stand Tall, so stand tall. It just 1769 01:31:58.760 --> 01:32:02.800 a whole fucking away. Another program is suddenly opened up, 1770 01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:06.439 and I couldn't get my fucking rob when I was 1771 01:32:06.479 --> 01:32:10.239 reading Proud of sand Tall with my fellow Solar System members. 1772 01:32:11.600 --> 01:32:14.600 Love it. Great stuff. That's the story right there. It 1773 01:32:14.680 --> 01:32:15.279 is all in there. 1774 01:32:15.880 --> 01:32:31.720 It's the la Fan Wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that 1775 01:32:31.880 --> 01:32:35.319 knows the boys need their candy.

Great to have you in the solar system. 1788 01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:23.399 Alex Or Ali rather writes Jack and JPM. Sorry, but 1789 01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:25.279 only a goof like Sid would have the last name 1790 01:33:25.439 --> 01:33:28.920 Udi for a shoot, it's all, he wrote. 1791 01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:31.399 No, I take that, baty. 1792 01:33:31.560 --> 01:33:33.319 He also said, Hey, Jack and JP, when discussing Sid, 1793 01:33:33.359 --> 01:33:35.000 you forgot one key thing about his appeal. At least 1794 01:33:35.039 --> 01:33:36.520 a ten year old me, this is a huge point 1795 01:33:36.560 --> 01:33:39.239 that I can't believe I didn't emphasize more than we did. 1796 01:33:39.640 --> 01:33:45.880 You see, it's real simple. The body glove, elbow sleeve yep, 1797 01:33:46.039 --> 01:33:49.119 Oh yes, I mean that's fucking critical. Yes it is 1798 01:33:49.960 --> 01:33:52.319 his size, goofy promos that barely made sense and the 1799 01:33:52.359 --> 01:33:53.800 power bomb were all part of the package, but it 1800 01:33:53.840 --> 01:33:55.640 was the elbow sleeve that put him over the top. 1801 01:33:55.720 --> 01:33:58.800 With ten year old me and my elementary school aged friends, yeah, 1802 01:33:58.800 --> 01:34:00.760 because the body Glove was like a the the Bodyglove 1803 01:34:00.800 --> 01:34:02.239 brand was like a thing when we were kids. 1804 01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:07.640 I mean, I I I you know that that that 1805 01:34:07.840 --> 01:34:11.039 that yellow logo I used to always think was some 1806 01:34:11.279 --> 01:34:13.840 kind of I don't know what it was. I think 1807 01:34:13.840 --> 01:34:19.439 it was like represented sid somehow. Well it was like, yeah, 1808 01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:21.239 in a weird way, it did, Yeah, in a weird 1809 01:34:21.279 --> 01:34:22.640 way it did. But I didn't know it was a logo. 1810 01:34:22.720 --> 01:34:24.880 I thought it was some kind of weird like it 1811 01:34:24.920 --> 01:34:27.680 almost look like a nipple at times, like a weird 1812 01:34:27.760 --> 01:34:29.439 yellow nipple. And I thought it was some kind of 1813 01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:32.399 I don't know device with that with that armband. But 1814 01:34:32.880 --> 01:34:35.119 for some reasons, quintessential, I always knew what it was. 1815 01:34:35.159 --> 01:34:37.239 I must have been because kids were in bodyglove stuff. 1816 01:34:37.479 --> 01:34:39.520 But that would happen today, like you can't, you're not 1817 01:34:39.680 --> 01:34:41.199 really supposed to. I guess think I were a Nike 1818 01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:43.880 sneaker sometimes, but you're not really supposed to wear like 1819 01:34:45.079 --> 01:34:47.960 you know, brands on television that haven't you know, agreed 1820 01:34:48.000 --> 01:34:49.800 to sponsor you and to be associated with you. 1821 01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:51.399 But right there he is. 1822 01:34:51.760 --> 01:34:54.800 Let that hit you like a shot.

Let the monkey dance ball, water. 1827 01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:21.600 Shawmachaels Viennis, autographed picture, wrestler, movie. 1828 01:35:21.359 --> 01:35:27.119 Star, lovely, the Bushwhackers Win.

Steve writes about 1833 01:35:40.119 --> 01:35:42.840 Sid's leg break, can confirm how serious Sid's break is. 1834 01:35:42.960 --> 01:35:45.199 My mom had the equivalent in her foot, where everything 1835 01:35:45.279 --> 01:35:48.159 but one bone broke just before COVID shit. All these 1836 01:35:48.239 --> 01:35:50.000 years later, it still causes her pain even with a 1837 01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:53.439 successful surgery. Thanks for this much needed episode. Tomorrow I 1838 01:35:53.560 --> 01:35:55.520 bury my one hundred and three year old grandmother, and 1839 01:35:55.600 --> 01:35:59.720 listening to this has made tomorrow feel more manageable. Well, 1840 01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:02.680 be about that ice indeed glad to be of service 1841 01:36:02.680 --> 01:36:05.159 as always. Adam writes, I think what stands out of 1842 01:36:05.199 --> 01:36:07.479 most TLF most is how organic and fluid it is. 1843 01:36:07.880 --> 01:36:09.800 A two or three episode SID tribute turns into a 1844 01:36:09.840 --> 01:36:12.359 near ten episode mini journey. Then someone else might die 1845 01:36:12.439 --> 01:36:14.600 like OI and the cast gives him a few words. 1846 01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:17.000 It's so true. 1847 01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:20.000 What makes the TLF stand out is that it's consistently awesome, 1848 01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:21.600 always funny, and no one knows where it's going to 1849 01:36:21.640 --> 01:36:23.079 go next. Here's to another ten years. 1850 01:36:23.119 --> 01:36:27.119 Boys. It's always about the timing. Honestly, of course it is. 1851 01:36:27.319 --> 01:36:29.560 It's always about the timing. If someone dies, we're in 1852 01:36:29.640 --> 01:36:31.920 the middle of something. They just no matter how important, 1853 01:36:32.000 --> 01:36:35.079 Unless they're unless they're of something, you know, of real, 1854 01:36:35.199 --> 01:36:37.560 real importance, you know we're not on time for that show. 1855 01:36:37.640 --> 01:36:40.399 Look on, if Hulk Hogan died during the Lamentable tragedy, 1856 01:36:40.520 --> 01:36:41.800 we would have known what to do. 1857 01:36:42.640 --> 01:36:44.600 I know that would have been hard. I mean that 1858 01:36:44.640 --> 01:36:48.399 would have been very, very hard. Paul writes. 1859 01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:51.359 He had time code to one of the SID episodes 1860 01:36:51.439 --> 01:36:54.359 where he quotes me saying favorite nations right and laps 1861 01:36:54.399 --> 01:37:04.039 Hogan goes what the point about insurance? A minute ago? 1862 01:37:04.199 --> 01:37:07.960 Andrew bakes a great point. Aren't all wrestler contracts workers compensation? 1863 01:37:14.800 --> 01:37:20.600 Yes? The following is a workers compensation agreement wrestlers to receive. 1864 01:37:20.600 --> 01:37:23.239 Oh my good, let's hear from Jake from Wisconsin. Hit 1865 01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:32.760 it all right, here we go, dear co chairs. I'm 1866 01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:37.119 reliving the thirty week journey, which I do every I 1867 01:37:37.199 --> 01:37:40.199 guess year, along with the Stark Tour and hearing a 1868 01:37:40.239 --> 01:37:43.119 fellow Sol's a member saying that WrestleMania eight was his 1869 01:37:43.279 --> 01:37:46.079 go to show. That made me think of what what 1870 01:37:46.319 --> 01:37:49.479 my go to think of what my go to shows are? 1871 01:37:50.239 --> 01:37:52.760 Mine have to be WrestleMania three because growing up I'd 1872 01:37:52.840 --> 01:37:55.520 always see the stair down between Hogan and Andre And 1873 01:37:55.600 --> 01:37:57.760 when I finally got the DVD when I was twelve 1874 01:37:57.840 --> 01:38:02.520 or thirteen years old, that hurts me. The fact here 1875 01:38:02.600 --> 01:38:05.439 I am thinking that, you know, he's like, you know, 1876 01:38:05.520 --> 01:38:09.640 grew up watching that show. But no, he's thirteen. If 1877 01:38:09.640 --> 01:38:11.880 you're thirteen years old when DVDs are fucking coming out, 1878 01:38:12.000 --> 01:38:14.399 you're I'm gonna kill you. He was born I said, 1879 01:38:14.439 --> 01:38:17.159 right there, I was born ninety four. Fuck you, I'm kidding. 1880 01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:19.319 Maybe maybe I'm not. 1881 01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:22.920 How dare you might be ten or twelve years older 1882 01:38:22.960 --> 01:38:23.880 than the younger than I am. 1883 01:38:23.960 --> 01:38:26.880 I know, I know, thirteen there, you'd be thirteen years 1884 01:38:26.920 --> 01:38:30.880 old younger than I am. What And I still got 1885 01:38:30.920 --> 01:38:33.399 goosebumps even well, I appreciate this, and I still got 1886 01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:35.800 goosebumps even watching it all those years later and still 1887 01:38:35.880 --> 01:38:39.199 gives me goosebumps. And my second go to show is 1888 01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:42.840 jarr K eighty three, which I watch every Thanksgiving. I 1889 01:38:43.159 --> 01:38:46.399 just love the dirty gritty look and I love the 1890 01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:48.720 cage match and dog collar match. Well, all right, you 1891 01:38:48.760 --> 01:38:49.920 won me back with all this stuff. 1892 01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:51.880 I'll tell you when I watch star K eighty three, 1893 01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:53.600 I can smell turkey cooking. 1894 01:38:54.359 --> 01:38:57.920 Yes, yes, I can smell. I mean right, I would 1895 01:38:58.399 --> 01:39:01.239 to me, I look at that at that building, and 1896 01:39:01.520 --> 01:39:05.239 I it to me, it must reek of the smell 1897 01:39:05.359 --> 01:39:06.319 of stuffing, right. 1898 01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:08.439 Because everyone's got it on their clothes, because right, the 1899 01:39:08.520 --> 01:39:11.399 kitchen was full of aromatic sense before you run out 1900 01:39:11.439 --> 01:39:12.239 to the matches. 1901 01:39:12.159 --> 01:39:15.680 Exactly, and you've got like turkey grease on your fingers 1902 01:39:15.720 --> 01:39:16.039 and stuff. 1903 01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:20.920 It can't help it, totally, absolutely, such an under discussed 1904 01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:23.800 part of star K eighty three and future star Gredes 1905 01:39:23.800 --> 01:39:26.720 for that matter, agreed just the sloppiness of the eaters, 1906 01:39:29.159 --> 01:39:31.800 the sense baked into the fibers of their sweater exactly. 1907 01:39:36.000 --> 01:39:37.960 And finally, my absolute go to show is not a 1908 01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:41.279 fan favorite, and I really don't give a fuck, but 1909 01:39:41.439 --> 01:39:43.880 it's my It's my show because it's the show I 1910 01:39:43.960 --> 01:39:47.439 remember first seeing ever, and that's Star k ninety seven, 1911 01:39:48.199 --> 01:39:50.760 even though I was only three years old. I can 1912 01:39:50.840 --> 01:39:53.399 remember watching that show live on pay per view. Seeing 1913 01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:56.640 Hogan versus Sting is what made me a lifelong fan 1914 01:39:56.720 --> 01:39:59.039 of the sport of kings and I will always watch 1915 01:39:59.119 --> 01:40:02.159 that show at least one year, sometimes twice. I love 1916 01:40:02.199 --> 01:40:04.920 Austin Rock and Undertaker, but it was Hogan and Sting 1917 01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:10.000 will always be my all time favorites because they are 1918 01:40:10.039 --> 01:40:12.560 the two that made me fall in love with pro wrestling. 1919 01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:15.800 Have a Merry Christmas. Love that, Yeah, I dig that. 1920 01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:18.239 I totally dig that. That show has Mormon fuzzies for 1921 01:40:18.359 --> 01:40:20.880 me too, for sure. I mean, you know, that's the 1922 01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:25.239 thing you got to remember. I mean, favorite wrestlers are 1923 01:40:25.279 --> 01:40:29.000 always about what you saw, you know, what was right 1924 01:40:29.079 --> 01:40:32.159 there in front of you when you you know, whenever 1925 01:40:32.199 --> 01:40:34.920 you saw wrestling for the first time, it's like it's 1926 01:40:35.039 --> 01:40:39.359 so crucial, it's one of those beautiful things about it, 1927 01:40:40.079 --> 01:40:45.039 and that's about the whole mess of fucking business. Yep. 1928 01:40:45.960 --> 01:40:47.880 Yeah, And just see, it's so fun when you become 1929 01:40:47.880 --> 01:40:51.319 an adult and get access to resources to be able 1930 01:40:51.359 --> 01:40:54.960 to actually spend time figuring out why was that so impactful? 1931 01:40:55.039 --> 01:40:57.840 Because it's not like everything I saw when I was 1932 01:40:57.880 --> 01:41:00.640 a kid I remember fondly, So why was it that 1933 01:41:00.760 --> 01:41:03.640 this match is the one I remember? And that's what's 1934 01:41:03.680 --> 01:41:06.359 worth discussing as opposed to the broadstroke. You were a kid, 1935 01:41:06.399 --> 01:41:07.560 and that's why you loved it. Now, there's a lot 1936 01:41:07.560 --> 01:41:09.520 of stuff I didn't like when I was a kid, yep. 1937 01:41:10.039 --> 01:41:12.079 And so what did rise to the level rose to 1938 01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:13.640 the level for a reason, and it rose to that 1939 01:41:13.760 --> 01:41:16.800 level for a lot of other people too. Scott Matthews, 1940 01:41:16.840 --> 01:41:18.920 thank you very much for the pledge. We appreciate the cake. Tom, 1941 01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:22.079 the homie, the number one Solar System member, writes TLF. 1942 01:41:23.119 --> 01:41:26.199 He quotes something I said on the SID Tribute Volume nine. 1943 01:41:26.239 --> 01:41:29.039 The quote is if only they knew the realities we 1944 01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:33.039 uncover and the conclusions we are left to reach. Yes, 1945 01:41:33.479 --> 01:41:35.680 he says, I don't suggest as lightly, but this, my friends, 1946 01:41:35.800 --> 01:41:39.720 should be a T shirt. Tom will take it under advisement. Yep, 1947 01:41:41.359 --> 01:41:43.720 Scott pointed out when we were going through the Fulton 1948 01:41:43.760 --> 01:41:46.800 County court records on the sid injury stuff. Lol, we 1949 01:41:46.920 --> 01:41:54.680 haven't tried the well meaning judge and Scott can confirm this. 1950 01:41:54.760 --> 01:41:57.000 You know why because he happened to have listened to 1951 01:41:57.119 --> 01:42:01.680 the UTC on Santa Claus, the movie which feature Daphne Daphne. Yes, 1952 01:42:02.039 --> 01:42:03.800 where the judge a courting I don't remember this, but 1953 01:42:03.880 --> 01:42:06.119 I laughed out loud and he read it back where 1954 01:42:06.199 --> 01:42:09.119 the judge called the plaintiff Daphne guilty and I'm pretty 1955 01:42:09.119 --> 01:42:17.319 sure he called her a fuck Yeah, so definitely not 1956 01:42:17.399 --> 01:42:18.479 a well meaning judge there. 1957 01:42:21.119 --> 01:42:24.039 I don't know what fucking would I remember going to 1958 01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:26.680 court with Daphne, but yeah. 1959 01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:29.199 It's probably when she she sued over the concussion she 1960 01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:33.760 got in TNA. Oh maybe William Wright. Hogan's lawyer ringtone 1961 01:42:33.840 --> 01:42:36.720 is a MIDI version of real American the vibrations of 1962 01:42:36.800 --> 01:42:38.960 which are so intense that they shake the pull chain 1963 01:42:39.079 --> 01:42:42.159 off the bedside lamp. Yes, I agree with that phone 1964 01:42:42.239 --> 01:42:46.319 is almost spinning from vibrating so much when Hogan calls. 1965 01:42:47.279 --> 01:42:50.159 I just thought there was a funny image. One of 1966 01:42:50.159 --> 01:42:51.840 the things we do in these feedback episodes. If you're 1967 01:42:51.840 --> 01:42:54.720 not familiar, is pass along word pictures painted by the 1968 01:42:54.800 --> 01:42:57.880 Solar System as well. Doesn't have to just be a letter, 1969 01:42:58.800 --> 01:43:02.199 Jeff Wright. Let's do a tribute in the style of 1970 01:43:02.279 --> 01:43:06.159 Sid to Savage Dusty or Piper you son of a bitch. 1971 01:43:07.439 --> 01:43:11.439 That'd be something, be something, because you know, Piper died 1972 01:43:11.760 --> 01:43:14.000 and Dusty died before we were equipped to really go 1973 01:43:14.279 --> 01:43:14.840 like this, you know. 1974 01:43:15.039 --> 01:43:17.079 I mean we did, we did do tributes for them, 1975 01:43:17.119 --> 01:43:20.760 but not we did not they were single shows. They weren't. 1976 01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:23.000 We didn't have the hubris to think that our fans 1977 01:43:23.039 --> 01:43:26.199 would support us going right year by this before we did, 1978 01:43:26.399 --> 01:43:28.880 like the medical tragedy, year by year, before we realized 1979 01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:31.680 that we could get away with really taking our time. 1980 01:43:31.800 --> 01:43:34.319 Yeah, I mean listen, you know, like when they died, 1981 01:43:34.359 --> 01:43:37.399 I mean they both I think they both died. The 1982 01:43:37.520 --> 01:43:40.399 only thing we had done of that nature was, uh, 1983 01:43:42.039 --> 01:43:45.600 was the Main's Journey. It's just there's year two. 1984 01:43:45.760 --> 01:43:48.239 It's such a mischievous suggestion because over the years I've 1985 01:43:48.279 --> 01:43:51.239 always thought of that. It's just there's no hours, there's 1986 01:43:51.319 --> 01:43:52.560 no hours in the day. 1987 01:43:53.560 --> 01:43:54.199 That's the thing. 1988 01:43:54.560 --> 01:43:58.239 Like everything feels like something we should do above and 1989 01:43:58.359 --> 01:44:01.239 beyond what we did what we the main show, you know, 1990 01:44:02.279 --> 01:44:06.119 So it's it's hard, but I hear you, I hear you. 1991 01:44:06.439 --> 01:44:11.359 That's all I can say. Because God help anybody else 1992 01:44:11.399 --> 01:44:14.760 out there who thinks they're in the telling a wrestler 1993 01:44:14.840 --> 01:44:19.640 story space. If we decide to go hard and anybody 1994 01:44:19.680 --> 01:44:22.239 and everybody is supposed to just who happens to pass 1995 01:44:22.239 --> 01:44:24.479 away at a convenient time for us to set aside 1996 01:44:24.479 --> 01:44:26.960 the agenda? You know, like if Terry Funk died at 1997 01:44:26.960 --> 01:44:29.239 another time, we wouldn't have done that, but he died 1998 01:44:29.319 --> 01:44:33.079 at that time when you were doing the play, and 1999 01:44:33.319 --> 01:44:34.840 we kind of didn't. We had kind of a wide 2000 01:44:34.880 --> 01:44:37.760 open schedule with nothing that was so concrete that people 2001 01:44:37.800 --> 01:44:39.079 would really miss it if we moved it. 2002 01:44:39.439 --> 01:44:41.840 And it was it was, you know, and for me 2003 01:44:43.800 --> 01:44:47.359 it was great to not have to really watch shows 2004 01:44:47.600 --> 01:44:50.199 because I didn't have the time rehearsing the play. That's yeah. 2005 01:44:50.199 --> 01:44:51.760 And that's what emboldened me too, to be like, you 2006 01:44:51.800 --> 01:44:54.000 know what, let's actually do a watch a long style 2007 01:44:54.079 --> 01:44:57.039 for the first time. Let's like let's come in cold 2008 01:44:57.079 --> 01:44:59.439 and let's watch it like we watch cinemat movies or 2009 01:44:59.520 --> 01:45:02.399 like we ww pay per views on Patreon now, yep. 2010 01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:05.720 And because of that, we just could watch Terry Funk's 2011 01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:08.279 whole career. Yeah, we didn't have to just decide, oh, 2012 01:45:08.319 --> 01:45:11.399 we'll watch this match and we'll talk about these ten matches. No, well, 2013 01:45:12.039 --> 01:45:14.560 we'll pretty much watch every match in promo of consequence 2014 01:45:14.680 --> 01:45:17.520 that he ever did and the most remarkable career any 2015 01:45:17.560 --> 01:45:22.680 wrestler has ever had, with the most diversity cross styles, geographies. 2016 01:45:22.840 --> 01:45:24.720 Oh, it's just ridiculous what he was. 2017 01:45:25.960 --> 01:45:28.279 However, I think back on him, I'm like, wow, that 2018 01:45:28.520 --> 01:45:31.079 was like ten careers that we talked about basically. 2019 01:45:31.279 --> 01:45:33.640 Yeah, I mean no, seriously, it really was. 2020 01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:35.840 The whole history of pro wrestling is there, from the 2021 01:45:35.960 --> 01:45:39.600 NWA Champion era and the territories to to you know, 2022 01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:42.399 what became of the business when he was still barely 2023 01:45:42.439 --> 01:45:44.680 able to move but crack and Jerry Lawler over the head, 2024 01:45:44.760 --> 01:45:46.520 you know, with three hundred people there, whether with a 2025 01:45:46.560 --> 01:45:49.560 trash can or whatever the case is. Vipin writes, the 2026 01:45:49.600 --> 01:45:51.880 game we play as simple. Two co chairs speak, one 2027 01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:58.960 man listens like that, not too like that, Willie Thompson, 2028 01:45:59.000 --> 01:46:01.079 thanks for the pledge, my friend, Cyrus the Virus always 2029 01:46:01.119 --> 01:46:03.079 a strong supporter. Great to hear from him and thanks 2030 01:46:03.119 --> 01:46:08.960 for the cake. Yancey writes subject line, yes, shut up, 2031 01:46:11.119 --> 01:46:12.159 I'll take it away please. 2032 01:46:12.840 --> 01:46:18.239 Oh my goodness, I love a good shot up that 2033 01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:26.239 makes me happy. Here we go, okay, co chairs, Happy holidays. 2034 01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:29.319 After you had another six hour drive back and forth 2035 01:46:29.359 --> 01:46:32.399 to visit my parents for Thanksgiving, a ride consisting of 2036 01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:35.159 you guys in my ear and Vienna's in my dreams. 2037 01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:39.439 I knew what I had to do yet again. I 2038 01:46:39.560 --> 01:46:42.640 quit being a freeloading bitch years ago, and I'm a 2039 01:46:42.680 --> 01:46:46.039 faithful listener. But sometimes between the journeys, the live calls 2040 01:46:46.079 --> 01:46:49.199 and the regular episodes, my little stink hole can only 2041 01:46:49.319 --> 01:46:52.880 take so much, and I fall episodes, weeks and journeys behind. 2042 01:46:53.279 --> 01:47:00.319 But I persevere. I have resolve. It will be zoomed. 2043 01:47:01.800 --> 01:47:04.760 But the long and meaty hours of content is partly 2044 01:47:04.760 --> 01:47:06.960 why I have never made the jump to a higher level. 2045 01:47:07.319 --> 01:47:10.119 I can barely take all of your girthy giving as 2046 01:47:10.520 --> 01:47:13.520 is do I dare have the courage to open up 2047 01:47:13.520 --> 01:47:18.079 a little more. But as I recently sat on my 2048 01:47:18.199 --> 01:47:27.600 lunch break listening to the monchamen, go ahead, you can 2049 01:47:27.680 --> 01:47:32.000 do it. Listening to the monchumen trying his damnness to 2050 01:47:32.159 --> 01:47:35.399 get it hard, for a ride of fuck, for a 2051 01:47:35.520 --> 01:47:40.720 night of fucking yes, and Sid telling Vince and any 2052 01:47:40.840 --> 01:47:46.439 and everyone to shut up, and my personal favorite, a 2053 01:47:46.520 --> 01:47:48.640 line that has stuck with me since the night my 2054 01:47:48.800 --> 01:47:51.800 brother and I saw it so many years ago, Live 2055 01:47:54.680 --> 01:47:59.680 I don't know shit crown Baby the Best, the Best, 2056 01:48:06.239 --> 01:48:10.119 which I found equally cutting to Brett and hilarious for 2057 01:48:10.199 --> 01:48:15.119 obvious reasons. I felt that tug, that little tinge of 2058 01:48:15.199 --> 01:48:19.520 guilt yep, yep. And I'm not nearly giving back I'm giving. 2059 01:48:19.600 --> 01:48:23.159 I'm not that I'm not given nearly back to even 2060 01:48:23.199 --> 01:48:25.399 come close to match what you have given to the 2061 01:48:25.479 --> 01:48:31.000 solar system and to me. And then JP starts talking 2062 01:48:31.000 --> 01:48:32.920 about those who have pledged, always a favorite part of 2063 01:48:32.960 --> 01:48:36.520 the episodes for me, and why people pledge, and asks 2064 01:48:36.600 --> 01:48:38.640 us to think about the hours and hours and hours 2065 01:48:38.680 --> 01:48:41.479 and hours and hours that go into making this wonderful 2066 01:48:41.520 --> 01:48:43.600 piece of art. And I knew I needed to jump 2067 01:48:44.079 --> 01:48:46.920 to a higher level. So I have not because I 2068 01:48:47.000 --> 01:48:51.800 can handle it, not because I necessarily even want more content, 2069 01:48:52.319 --> 01:48:54.840 not because I'm dying to dive into movies, but because 2070 01:48:55.159 --> 01:49:00.760 I need to. I need the lapsed, and I need 2071 01:49:00.840 --> 01:49:05.039 it bad I need that voice in my ear, that 2072 01:49:05.239 --> 01:49:09.239 voice that makes me laugh, think, reflect, the voice of reason, 2073 01:49:09.720 --> 01:49:15.760 a steady hand in a not so steady world. So 2074 01:49:15.960 --> 01:49:19.800 take my measly offerings and forgive me for not making 2075 01:49:19.840 --> 01:49:24.760 the jump Center. It feels so good to give, so good. 2076 01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:26.960 In fact, as someone who grew up in the deep 2077 01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:29.399 Deep South, I can't tell you how many cans of 2078 01:49:29.560 --> 01:49:37.279 delicious and vicious piannas sat on the shelves of my 2079 01:49:37.800 --> 01:49:41.239 pantry growing up and ended up as a snack fishing 2080 01:49:41.439 --> 01:49:46.680 hunting game with my dad playing church softball, shout out 2081 01:49:46.720 --> 01:49:49.800 to City's team, and other similar times. Now that I'm 2082 01:49:49.840 --> 01:49:53.439 living in Tennessee, just a few hours from everyone's favorite 2083 01:49:53.520 --> 01:49:58.640 church and homeless mission, maybe I'll take a trip over 2084 01:49:58.720 --> 01:50:00.920 to West Memphis and do the right thing for those 2085 01:50:01.399 --> 01:50:04.840 in need this holiday season. And maybe they'll do the 2086 01:50:04.920 --> 01:50:09.680 right thing and send me an Aurgraft picture.

During 2099 01:50:38.039 --> 01:50:40.680 the pandemic and for a year or so after, Alamo 2100 01:50:40.880 --> 01:50:44.399 Draft House did convert many of their theaters into makeshift 2101 01:50:44.479 --> 01:50:46.520 drive ins. We were talking about well, yeah, we're talking 2102 01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:50.600 about this. Yeah, by having moving projectors out on outside 2103 01:50:50.640 --> 01:50:53.159 and using the big outer walls of the building as screens, 2104 01:50:53.239 --> 01:50:55.159 the one in my areas seem to do very well. Yes, 2105 01:50:57.039 --> 01:50:59.399 just bring them back. I'll put them on walls. I 2106 01:50:59.399 --> 01:51:02.039 don't give a fuck. Yeah, I mean I see projections 2107 01:51:02.079 --> 01:51:06.600 now on buildings that are like four K. They have 2108 01:51:06.840 --> 01:51:09.720 like this technology nowaday just have like images dancing on 2109 01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:10.840 fucking stone walls. 2110 01:51:11.600 --> 01:51:11.800 Yeah. 2111 01:51:12.199 --> 01:51:14.359 So don't get me an excuse about infrastructure that you 2112 01:51:14.439 --> 01:51:17.239 can put it on anything. Just put a big fuck it. 2113 01:51:17.319 --> 01:51:20.399 I don't care a big edifice. Just bring back drive 2114 01:51:20.479 --> 01:51:24.279 ins as soon as possible, and bring them back for 2115 01:51:25.199 --> 01:51:29.520 closed circuit events, not just movies. Bring them back for this, 2116 01:51:29.720 --> 01:51:32.239 you know, go see the super Bowl in a huge 2117 01:51:32.279 --> 01:51:35.800 ass parking lot somewhere with the biggest screen in the county, 2118 01:51:36.239 --> 01:51:39.840 in the state, and let people grill, and let people rejoice, 2119 01:51:39.920 --> 01:51:42.760 and let people recreate, and let people try to recreate 2120 01:51:42.840 --> 01:51:47.079 the experience of experiencing something live. Right, That's what I'm 2121 01:51:47.159 --> 01:51:51.399 calling for, the return of closed circuit Are we ready? 2122 01:51:52.960 --> 01:51:55.159 Can we handle it? As a people? 2123 01:51:56.239 --> 01:52:00.319 I think it's a great idea. Put it outdoors. Mm hm, 2124 01:52:01.039 --> 01:52:02.600 you know, in warmer class and you know what, here's 2125 01:52:02.640 --> 01:52:05.479 the thing. I mean, you know, well maybe maybe not, 2126 01:52:05.560 --> 01:52:07.119 I don't know. But if you if you limit it 2127 01:52:07.960 --> 01:52:11.359 to that, depending on the on on what it is, 2128 01:52:11.439 --> 01:52:11.960 people will go. 2129 01:52:12.600 --> 01:52:15.800 I think if you if you set up a if 2130 01:52:15.840 --> 01:52:17.640 you set up a way to do it that's modular, 2131 01:52:17.840 --> 01:52:22.680 that isn't a permanent, fixed screen somewhere that can't be uninstalled. 2132 01:52:23.640 --> 01:52:26.479 It's a fucking home run because you only set up 2133 01:52:26.800 --> 01:52:29.039 when there's an event and good enough climate to do it, 2134 01:52:29.439 --> 01:52:31.600 and sometimes rain will fuck you up, you know. Doing 2135 01:52:31.680 --> 01:52:34.840 the winter, I guess and really cold climates, maybe you 2136 01:52:34.840 --> 01:52:36.399 could pull it off. Maybe people would be willing to, 2137 01:52:37.319 --> 01:52:39.840 you know, bundle up. They certainly do it for tailgates 2138 01:52:39.880 --> 01:52:43.479 during NFL season, right, But I'm talking big events, big 2139 01:52:43.520 --> 01:52:49.479 boxing matches, concerts, you know, on a big screen, since 2140 01:52:49.600 --> 01:52:51.239 money waiting to be made, and you just do it 2141 01:52:51.319 --> 01:52:53.439 out in the middle of some field that no one's using, 2142 01:52:54.720 --> 01:52:57.359 and you have you know, some kind of a just 2143 01:52:57.439 --> 01:52:59.880 like you would erect the screen at raw they put 2144 01:52:59.880 --> 01:53:02.039 the thing on the coat. Just go around the country 2145 01:53:02.079 --> 01:53:05.399 and do it. Maybe fucking awesome, and you could franchise it, 2146 01:53:05.520 --> 01:53:08.960 you know, like everyone can. It's not like a permanent thing, 2147 01:53:09.039 --> 01:53:10.560 but every now and then when there's a hot event, 2148 01:53:10.720 --> 01:53:12.239 you can make a good amount of money by being 2149 01:53:12.279 --> 01:53:14.199 the guy in your metro area that knows how to 2150 01:53:14.239 --> 01:53:17.039 set it up and you know, pays for the license 2151 01:53:17.159 --> 01:53:19.079 to show it and pays for the license to be 2152 01:53:19.119 --> 01:53:22.039 associated with, maybe like a national brand that's known for 2153 01:53:22.119 --> 01:53:23.880 doing these things in a big way. I mean, you 2154 01:53:23.920 --> 01:53:26.800 see the movie theaters try to do it to add revenue, 2155 01:53:27.039 --> 01:53:28.399 you know. And I think it's cool to go see 2156 01:53:28.399 --> 01:53:30.439 a concert in a movie theater or I've seen wrestling 2157 01:53:30.479 --> 01:53:31.920 in m a pay per views in movie theaters and 2158 01:53:31.920 --> 01:53:35.239 I think it's awesome. Yeah, but I think it's it's 2159 01:53:35.439 --> 01:53:37.000 it's on a higher level if you can make it 2160 01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:39.520 an outdoor party. Do you know what I mean yes, 2161 01:53:40.119 --> 01:53:42.199 and everyone's got their phones so they can all bluetooth 2162 01:53:42.239 --> 01:53:45.239 the audio. It's not like even even the audio infrastructure, 2163 01:53:45.279 --> 01:53:46.640 which I know is a huge part of the drive 2164 01:53:46.680 --> 01:53:49.520 in movie theater experience, you know, broadcasting it over the radio, 2165 01:53:49.560 --> 01:53:51.680 you gott to be sitting in your car. Sometimes they 2166 01:53:51.720 --> 01:53:53.840 get the speakers you know, actually installed into the ground 2167 01:53:53.880 --> 01:53:55.880 and that's all pretty cool. But you don't even need 2168 01:53:55.960 --> 01:53:56.479 that anymore. 2169 01:53:56.880 --> 01:53:57.000 You know. 2170 01:53:57.039 --> 01:53:59.119 Everyone can just have one bluetooth in if they want 2171 01:53:59.119 --> 01:54:01.920 to hear the audio, which is great because it kind 2172 01:54:01.920 --> 01:54:03.800 of sucks sometimes to go to a setting like that, 2173 01:54:03.960 --> 01:54:05.199 like to watch a game in a bar, and if 2174 01:54:05.199 --> 01:54:07.119 you want to hear the commentary, you can't hear it, 2175 01:54:07.279 --> 01:54:10.760 you know, but fun, I mean, what are we waiting for? 2176 01:54:11.600 --> 01:54:11.760 I know. 2177 01:54:12.199 --> 01:54:14.359 Tim Lee, thank you very much for the increase in pledge. 2178 01:54:14.479 --> 01:54:16.399 Deeply appreciated.

Daniel writes in the two KWW Games, 2184 01:54:27.920 --> 01:54:30.680 when new entrants join the Wargames match, they actually pull 2185 01:54:30.760 --> 01:54:33.560 out weapons from under the ring and bring them heart 2186 01:54:34.119 --> 01:54:37.319 of the built in entrance. You can believe that's a 2187 01:54:37.319 --> 01:54:40.039 comment on one of our War Games Survivors Series twenty 2188 01:54:40.159 --> 01:54:45.079 twenty twenty four live calls on Patreona. They just do 2189 01:54:45.199 --> 01:54:46.880 it like it's part of the rules of war games 2190 01:54:46.920 --> 01:54:48.039 that you have to bring weapons with you. 2191 01:54:52.359 --> 01:54:55.760 Just awful. And you know it used to be like. 2192 01:54:58.000 --> 01:55:00.640 Fortuitous, even though unfortunate. Once someone would come out of 2193 01:55:00.640 --> 01:55:03.039 the war Games with an injury because the match was 2194 01:55:03.079 --> 01:55:05.119 pretty you know, dangerous, and you hit each other pretty hard, 2195 01:55:05.159 --> 01:55:08.840 and you know, Hawk got carried away and JJ Dillon 2196 01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:10.800 broke his shoulder on the doomsday device in the first 2197 01:55:10.840 --> 01:55:12.640 war Games and that's part of the legend of the match. 2198 01:55:13.479 --> 01:55:15.079 But now we're in an era where all the war 2199 01:55:15.159 --> 01:55:18.399 Games injuries are ones that people inflict on themselves because 2200 01:55:18.439 --> 01:55:20.279 they can't stop jumping off the top of the cage. 2201 01:55:20.640 --> 01:55:24.680 Both Jimmy Usso and Bronson Reid busted their ankles diving 2202 01:55:24.720 --> 01:55:27.640 off the cage through tables and wargames, the injuries are 2203 01:55:27.680 --> 01:55:31.039 happening to the people who are jumping themselves, who are 2204 01:55:31.079 --> 01:55:34.359 doing it to themselves. They're not even booking war games 2205 01:55:34.399 --> 01:55:36.640 to have guys come out of war games worse for wear. 2206 01:55:37.560 --> 01:55:40.000 No one's selling that they can't move for weeks because 2207 01:55:40.159 --> 01:55:42.960 people are actually getting hurt for things they voluntarily did 2208 01:55:44.600 --> 01:55:46.479 in spots that do not belong in the war games 2209 01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:49.439 that you can do every other month, joke, every other 2210 01:55:49.479 --> 01:55:50.039 show of the year. 2211 01:55:50.079 --> 01:55:57.479 You can do that shit wargames. I don't whatever. Edward Zeman, 2212 01:55:57.520 --> 01:55:58.600 thank you for the increasing. 2213 01:55:58.720 --> 01:56:01.600 Said a million times. It's it's a disaster this year. 2214 01:56:01.800 --> 01:56:03.560 When you see those injuries, it's like, this is what 2215 01:56:03.640 --> 01:56:06.119 I'm trying to say. It is fucking stupid. This is 2216 01:56:06.159 --> 01:56:07.920 the one match where you don't have to do that 2217 01:56:08.000 --> 01:56:11.000 to yourself, but you already ruined it because now the crowd, 2218 01:56:11.319 --> 01:56:13.359 the WW crowd thinks of war games is tables and 2219 01:56:13.479 --> 01:56:14.880 chairs and shit and garbage cans. 2220 01:56:14.960 --> 01:56:17.199 Yeah, but you know what, stop doing it. They could, 2221 01:56:17.279 --> 01:56:19.600 but that's my point. It's like down in them condition 2222 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:22.279 the fans had a chance to. 2223 01:56:22.239 --> 01:56:25.039 Start, had a chance to start in the right way, 2224 01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:29.960 and they set themselves back. Dylan Mack and Tyre thanks 2225 01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:32.640 for the pledge.

I'm feeling the same way as 2237 01:57:03.479 --> 01:57:06.039 I start this final Bond episode of Under the Cinemat 2238 01:57:06.079 --> 01:57:07.920 I would say, I'm feeling like a pussy.

Well, we'll never have 2288 01:59:51.520 --> 01:59:53.199 a real good reason to dive into him because he's 2289 01:59:53.239 --> 01:59:56.279 not in any shows. He did Japan shows that will 2290 01:59:56.319 --> 01:59:56.840 never cover. 2291 01:59:58.760 --> 02:00:03.479 He's done.

Unfortunately for the Sid journey, 2303 02:01:00.039 --> 02:01:03.800 there isn't too much to it. But Dan remembered that 2304 02:01:04.399 --> 02:01:08.359 when WW did a special countdown episode Biggest Blunders.

What they're 2491 02:11:47.800 --> 02:11:48.960 both stakeholders. 2492 02:11:55.960 --> 02:11:59.560 I mean I should have held that go ahead. Sorry, 2493 02:12:01.960 --> 02:12:03.479 it's almost like a double cross almost gone on. 2494 02:12:03.560 --> 02:12:07.359 The Big Show suddenly appears out of nowhere with a 2495 02:12:07.439 --> 02:12:13.119 cheeseburger in his handy. He casually rolls up Hogan for 2496 02:12:13.199 --> 02:12:16.399 a three count. The referee, who also appears out of nowhere. 2497 02:12:16.439 --> 02:12:18.600 It counts at one. At two three I. 2498 02:12:18.680 --> 02:12:25.760 Believe actually called would have been one. Two. Ghost stops. 2499 02:12:25.840 --> 02:12:26.640 Hord's done. 2500 02:12:26.800 --> 02:12:28.560 Everyone in the room bursts in the laughter as hult 2501 02:12:28.600 --> 02:12:30.720 Cogan scrambles to his feet, looking horrified. 2502 02:12:31.399 --> 02:12:34.199 Hurrah, I knew it, I told you, brother, I told 2503 02:12:34.239 --> 02:12:34.560 you all. 2504 02:12:34.600 --> 02:12:37.119 Everyone continues laughing as Hogan disappears into the distance. 2505 02:12:37.239 --> 02:12:39.840 Hi, I knew it was for you, Jack. That was hilarious. 2506 02:12:42.319 --> 02:12:46.840 A lot of fun, A lot of fun. Thank you, Kaypo. 2507 02:12:46.960 --> 02:12:49.920 Always great to hear from him. George writes to us, 2508 02:12:49.960 --> 02:12:51.920 what a journey you have taken us through, and what 2509 02:12:52.039 --> 02:12:54.000 a pleasure it has been to watch along with you lads. 2510 02:12:54.279 --> 02:12:56.600 Being a huge Bond fan, I didn't even realize that 2511 02:12:56.720 --> 02:12:59.399 most of the series qualified for that cinemat treatment. I 2512 02:12:59.479 --> 02:13:02.560 had no idea about so many wrestling connections. Hopefully we 2513 02:13:02.600 --> 02:13:06.640 can get those loose end films squared away, Bravo, chaps. 2514 02:13:07.920 --> 02:13:09.920 It's the goal. That's the goal. You heard it here, 2515 02:13:09.960 --> 02:13:10.800 first goal. 2516 02:13:12.800 --> 02:13:16.199 When was Andrew Writ's Mitsuhara Matsunaga and Wang discussed on 2517 02:13:16.279 --> 02:13:19.520 that cast under the cinemat. No time to die, of course, 2518 02:13:26.199 --> 02:13:29.279 what's the problem, Zach writes, am I missing something or 2519 02:13:29.319 --> 02:13:32.039 as an adult, being into slow pitch softball the equivalent 2520 02:13:32.079 --> 02:13:34.800 of being into bumper bowling. It seems like something only 2521 02:13:34.880 --> 02:13:42.439 for children to me. Sid Oh God, how about this? 2522 02:13:42.800 --> 02:13:46.560 You should feel proud about this one. Robert Reynolds a 2523 02:13:46.560 --> 02:13:48.079 couple of things he wrote on the end of the 2524 02:13:48.119 --> 02:13:49.840 Bond Journey. One, I felt it at the end of 2525 02:13:49.880 --> 02:13:53.199 the Funk Journey too. I'm not ready to go. And 2526 02:13:53.319 --> 02:13:55.439 he also writes, Roger Moore has been dead for seven years. 2527 02:13:55.600 --> 02:13:57.520 I've not seen a film he was in until this year. 2528 02:13:57.720 --> 02:14:00.760 And yet when the newscaster announced his death, on this episode. 2529 02:14:00.880 --> 02:14:02.439 I got a lump in my throat. 2530 02:14:03.000 --> 02:14:06.760 Mm hmm. That's service, boss, You've done service. Do what 2531 02:14:06.840 --> 02:14:10.520 I can. That was what we want, you know, honestly, 2532 02:14:10.640 --> 02:14:13.680 he and that was not a planned thing, Okay. I 2533 02:14:13.880 --> 02:14:16.840 was not out there to celebrate Roger Moore. That was 2534 02:14:16.880 --> 02:14:21.239 a thing that just happened because he's Roger Moore, right, 2535 02:14:22.760 --> 02:14:24.119 Hall Cogin put it beautifully. Damn. 2536 02:14:24.119 --> 02:14:26.319 I don't want this one to end, but I guess 2537 02:14:26.359 --> 02:14:29.119 it's time to die. M then, right, So I'm sure 2538 02:14:29.159 --> 02:14:30.640 you've looked into it. But in the next part, will 2539 02:14:30.640 --> 02:14:32.680 you comment on the WW trying to hire Sidne too? 2540 02:14:32.920 --> 02:14:33.600 Yeah? I included this. 2541 02:14:33.680 --> 02:14:35.720 I couldn't find anything better about what you're talking about, 2542 02:14:35.880 --> 02:14:37.760 he said. Pritchard has talked about it on his podcast. 2543 02:14:37.840 --> 02:14:40.760 I can't believe WW would try to hire Sidne no 2544 02:14:40.840 --> 02:14:43.359 too when he wasn't even mobile yet. His leg hadn't 2545 02:14:43.359 --> 02:14:45.720 be fully healed as far as we can glean, and 2546 02:14:45.800 --> 02:14:48.119 he just disappeared from this. 2547 02:14:48.319 --> 02:14:50.600 Is better when he's not mobile. Maybe they try and 2548 02:14:50.720 --> 02:14:51.399 do more with him. 2549 02:14:51.359 --> 02:14:53.399 To poach him from like that WWA group where he 2550 02:14:53.439 --> 02:14:55.800 did like a shot as a commissioner. Maybe that was 2551 02:14:55.880 --> 02:14:56.600 the idea, But I don't. 2552 02:14:56.600 --> 02:14:56.840 I don't. 2553 02:14:56.840 --> 02:14:58.720 I couldn't find anything. So if anyone out there can 2554 02:15:00.199 --> 02:15:03.640 in that loose end for us and find some instance 2555 02:15:03.680 --> 02:15:05.600 where people talked about WW trying to recruit Sid in 2556 02:15:05.600 --> 02:15:07.720 two thousand and two, at which point he basically disappeared 2557 02:15:07.720 --> 02:15:08.760 from the scene for three years. 2558 02:15:08.800 --> 02:15:10.960 I would love to hear it. Bruno. 2559 02:15:11.479 --> 02:15:13.920 Yep, thanks for the for the cake and the support. 2560 02:15:13.960 --> 02:15:17.279 In the three sixteen membership, Jerome puts out a fun thing. 2561 02:15:17.520 --> 02:15:19.399 I was supposed to see Hogan and Sid at Spring 2562 02:15:19.520 --> 02:15:22.760 Stampede two thousand before the big changeover in management, ended 2563 02:15:22.840 --> 02:15:24.520 up seeing neither wrestle. It was my one and only 2564 02:15:24.640 --> 02:15:28.760 WCW show. That's easy to forget. Before Russell and Bischoff 2565 02:15:28.840 --> 02:15:31.119 came in, they were having they were going to reignite 2566 02:15:31.159 --> 02:15:33.880 A Hogan. Remember we did that quick mention of the 2567 02:15:33.960 --> 02:15:36.560 press conference angle where Hogan takes the spotlight. Yeah, that 2568 02:15:36.640 --> 02:15:39.119 was building to the Spring Stampede main event that never 2569 02:15:39.359 --> 02:15:43.359 was because Bishoff and Russo take over in early April 2570 02:15:43.399 --> 02:15:45.399 on that Nitro and reshuffle the whole deck and Spring 2571 02:15:45.479 --> 02:15:47.640 Stampede is the first pay per view under that new regime. 2572 02:15:48.800 --> 02:15:49.720 That's wild, it is. 2573 02:15:51.880 --> 02:15:56.159 Ah Ronaldi quotes from the SID Journey. Frank, I am 2574 02:15:56.640 --> 02:15:59.239 disappointed that you got a ninety nine percent ahead instead 2575 02:15:59.239 --> 02:16:01.560 of a one hundred and will never attend an event 2576 02:16:01.640 --> 02:16:09.039 of yours, But I love you very much, okay. Steve 2577 02:16:09.119 --> 02:16:12.840 writes there was meant to be a SID website, but 2578 02:16:13.039 --> 02:16:19.319 Frank was left in charge of it. Yeah, we are 2579 02:16:19.359 --> 02:16:21.600 the best, the best listeners. Chris writes SID as a 2580 02:16:21.640 --> 02:16:24.000 character from a Coen Brothers would be Tex Cobbs, mounty 2581 02:16:24.039 --> 02:16:27.720 hunter from Raising Arizona. Big badass with an awesome reputation, 2582 02:16:27.800 --> 02:16:30.119 and he ends is running the most hilarious fashion possible. 2583 02:16:30.600 --> 02:16:32.719 Do you know, uh, Raising Arizona. 2584 02:16:33.479 --> 02:16:35.239 A little bit. I've seen him once or twice. I 2585 02:16:35.280 --> 02:16:38.280 haven't seen it. It's not my favorite Cohen movie. 2586 02:16:39.159 --> 02:16:44.120 Brian Blake, it's real Simpleton the TLF SID tribute, That's 2587 02:16:44.239 --> 02:16:46.399 that's the truth. Read to stuff, Sam Ouie, thank you 2588 02:16:46.440 --> 02:16:48.360 for the pledge, my friend. We appreciate it. Jeff Ruben, 2589 02:16:48.440 --> 02:16:51.440 Welcome in to the Inner Circle. Richard Mann writes, how 2590 02:16:51.479 --> 02:16:53.280 did Jack not bring up random task? 2591 02:16:53.399 --> 02:16:54.319 Was Joe's son? Yeah? 2592 02:16:54.600 --> 02:16:58.680 Random task from Austin Powers, Yeah, which we spent some 2593 02:16:58.799 --> 02:17:01.840 time naturally talking about the Bond Journey. Yeah, Joe Son 2594 02:17:02.040 --> 02:17:06.479 was an early early proto era UFC fighter who's in 2595 02:17:06.559 --> 02:17:08.319 the movie. He's kind of like an odd you know, 2596 02:17:08.360 --> 02:17:09.600 the odd job take off character. 2597 02:17:09.959 --> 02:17:11.120 Yeah, yeah, random task. 2598 02:17:11.440 --> 02:17:14.079 So he was he He fought in UFC and did 2599 02:17:14.159 --> 02:17:16.000 some pro wrestling as well, and was a total pervert 2600 02:17:16.079 --> 02:17:17.719 and ended up going to jail for like a gang 2601 02:17:17.799 --> 02:17:18.399 rape or something. 2602 02:17:18.680 --> 02:17:19.000 Wow. 2603 02:17:19.600 --> 02:17:21.440 But it's like, you know, he's not it's not a 2604 02:17:21.520 --> 02:17:23.879 bond character. So it's like a little far afield. But 2605 02:17:24.000 --> 02:17:26.840 I should have brought it up. I accept my culpability 2606 02:17:27.000 --> 02:17:29.280 if we ever do Austin Powers, know that I'm ready. Okay, 2607 02:17:29.760 --> 02:17:32.719 I believe it there. I mean I knew, Yeah they're there. 2608 02:17:32.879 --> 02:17:36.399 I think they believe they are. I don't know if 2609 02:17:36.440 --> 02:17:36.959 all of them are. 2610 02:17:37.280 --> 02:17:39.840 What do you mean they being Oh the Powers movies, 2611 02:17:40.239 --> 02:17:41.040 Awesome Powers movie. 2612 02:17:41.079 --> 02:17:42.840 Yeah, I also distinct. Remember at one point someone saying 2613 02:17:42.840 --> 02:17:46.280 Austin Powers was the last movie Vince McMahon saw, or 2614 02:17:46.360 --> 02:17:46.760 it was like his. 2615 02:17:46.879 --> 02:17:49.799 Favorite at least we someone said that. I remember hearing that, 2616 02:17:49.920 --> 02:17:54.079 and then we kind of always talking to moms gonna 2617 02:17:54.079 --> 02:17:57.120 move his awesome Powers? Right, yeah, what what more can 2618 02:17:57.200 --> 02:17:57.760 you see after that? 2619 02:17:57.959 --> 02:17:58.120 Right? 2620 02:17:58.600 --> 02:18:00.559 He said it was the greatest thing you'd ever said. Yeah, 2621 02:18:00.639 --> 02:18:03.600 if you want to know how Vince's mind works, Josh Burr, 2622 02:18:03.680 --> 02:18:05.440 thank you very much for the pledge, my friend.

Roberta writes in Greeting's co Chairman, 2625 02:18:12.280 --> 02:18:13.959 just wanted to give my two cents in the Millennium Man. 2626 02:18:14.280 --> 02:18:16.239 In nineteen ninety nine, I was sixteen years old. I 2627 02:18:16.319 --> 02:18:19.120 was a diehard WWF fan, hated the old folks home 2628 02:18:19.159 --> 02:18:21.520 that was WCW. But Sid maybe change the channel whenever 2629 02:18:21.600 --> 02:18:23.600 he was on. I knew it was fake, obviously, but 2630 02:18:23.680 --> 02:18:25.520 I still wasn't really smartened up, and I just thought, 2631 02:18:25.600 --> 02:18:27.520 no one else in WCW does a choke slam and 2632 02:18:27.719 --> 02:18:30.879 a power bomb. Sid still rules. I would give anything 2633 02:18:30.920 --> 02:18:32.799 to be able to watch wrestling that credulously. 2634 02:18:33.000 --> 02:18:33.280 Again. 2635 02:18:33.600 --> 02:18:39.639 Amen, Amen to that absolutely good point. Jeff writes, Okay, 2636 02:18:39.680 --> 02:18:41.479 co chairs, just tell me how much a podcast if 2637 02:18:41.520 --> 02:18:44.799 the Adventures lapsed Michael G. Wilson and lapsed Jesse would cost, 2638 02:18:45.639 --> 02:18:47.719 so I can let the bank know these excessive charges 2639 02:18:47.760 --> 02:18:52.120 to Patreon aren't fraudulent. The Adventures of Michael G. Wilson 2640 02:18:52.760 --> 02:19:00.399 and Jesse the Body of Ventura. Hey, Michael, Michael, what 2641 02:19:00.479 --> 02:19:01.319 you're doing over there? 2642 02:19:04.319 --> 02:19:04.559 All right? 2643 02:19:04.760 --> 02:19:08.520 I'm just well, I'm wondering what it is that I'm. 2644 02:19:08.440 --> 02:19:11.639 Doing for cinemat Fans know Michael G. Wilson, but those 2645 02:19:11.680 --> 02:19:12.760 who weren't him tell him. 2646 02:19:13.440 --> 02:19:17.280 He is. He is the step son of Albert Kubby Brockley, 2647 02:19:17.399 --> 02:19:24.680 the producer, creator, galactic overseer of the James Bond franchise 2648 02:19:24.920 --> 02:19:28.159 from day one, and he came on and if he 2649 02:19:28.600 --> 02:19:33.639 you know, he's just he looks better now, all right. 2650 02:19:33.680 --> 02:19:35.280 I'm going to give him that. He looks better now. 2651 02:19:35.840 --> 02:19:38.799 But when you see him in doing interviews in the 2652 02:19:39.079 --> 02:19:42.520 late seventies early eighties for the Bond movies, he just 2653 02:19:42.719 --> 02:19:48.719 he looks like someone who has done wrong, right, and 2654 02:19:49.520 --> 02:19:52.120 you know, and he apparently knows martial arts, and he 2655 02:19:52.159 --> 02:19:54.760 definitely looks like a guy who would know martial arts, 2656 02:19:55.159 --> 02:19:59.280 just you know, and he would try to kill you. Absolutely, 2657 02:19:59.280 --> 02:19:59.959 he would try to kill you. 2658 02:20:00.159 --> 02:20:02.879 I think that's any talks like that, he just doesn't 2659 02:20:02.879 --> 02:20:05.159 have much inflection or volume in his voice. He just 2660 02:20:05.760 --> 02:20:06.920 kind of mumbles very softly. 2661 02:20:07.000 --> 02:20:09.319 Yeah, he'd be totally calm and disconnected about it. That's 2662 02:20:09.360 --> 02:20:09.680 the point. 2663 02:20:09.719 --> 02:20:13.159 Sometimes sometimes I wonder to myself what it is that 2664 02:20:13.319 --> 02:20:16.959 makes me angry, and then when I get angry, I. 2665 02:20:18.959 --> 02:20:19.520 Killed people. 2666 02:20:20.760 --> 02:20:22.719 He said, Sometimes I wonder to myself what it is 2667 02:20:22.799 --> 02:20:30.200 that makes me angry? What does that even mean? Chuck writes, 2668 02:20:30.239 --> 02:20:32.120 to be fair to Big Van Vader, his book was 2669 02:20:32.200 --> 02:20:36.760 called Vader Time, and it was published by Walking on 2670 02:20:36.840 --> 02:20:40.000 Hot Waffles. That's the name of the publisher, not the name. 2671 02:20:40.079 --> 02:20:45.479 Oh my god, the book. However, ironically, Boss Vader often 2672 02:20:45.559 --> 02:20:46.680 walking on hot waffles. 2673 02:20:46.920 --> 02:20:49.639 That's very true, as he would put and also often 2674 02:20:49.719 --> 02:20:51.040 eating hot waffles. 2675 02:20:51.079 --> 02:20:53.159 Because he would put six hundred of them in toasting 2676 02:20:53.200 --> 02:20:55.879 at a time and they'd all pop, and inevitably, in 2677 02:20:55.920 --> 02:20:58.440 the rush to get his face on them, he'd step 2678 02:20:58.520 --> 02:21:01.079 on some. Ryan James, thank you very much for the pledge. 2679 02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:03.680 Welcome in, Brett Derezo. It's great to have your support, pal. 2680 02:21:03.920 --> 02:21:08.159 Thank you very much. Jerome says, just get into the 2681 02:21:08.159 --> 02:21:10.600 commentary on the Bond series over the British premieres of 2682 02:21:10.680 --> 02:21:13.360 Bond films, and I move that we replaced the live 2683 02:21:13.440 --> 02:21:16.079 calls of w W shows with live calls of British premiers. 2684 02:21:18.760 --> 02:21:20.639 People love that shit. I loved it. That's one of 2685 02:21:20.719 --> 02:21:23.520 my favorite parts of the Bond Journey me too. It's 2686 02:21:23.600 --> 02:21:27.440 just absolutely hilarious. I mean, honestly, we when when when 2687 02:21:27.520 --> 02:21:29.319 I when I found when I found footage of the 2688 02:21:29.520 --> 02:21:31.399 of the first one that I was able to get, 2689 02:21:31.479 --> 02:21:33.520 and I was like, holy shit, this is just fantastic. 2690 02:21:33.639 --> 02:21:36.200 And just the way you kick into that gear of like, ah, yes, 2691 02:21:36.840 --> 02:21:39.600 oh my god, are you good at that. I like 2692 02:21:39.680 --> 02:21:42.440 the idea of doing alternate commentary for like the Macy's 2693 02:21:42.520 --> 02:21:45.399 Day Parade or something, you know, absolutely just being like 2694 02:21:45.639 --> 02:21:49.760 just totally obnoxious about it. Cody Meek, thanks for the pledge. 2695 02:21:50.159 --> 02:21:50.840 We appreciate it. 2696 02:21:50.920 --> 02:21:53.719 Christopher Marriing Rights reaching River of Darkness on my first 2697 02:21:53.719 --> 02:21:55.600 pass through under of the Cinema. That's one of Sid's 2698 02:21:55.760 --> 02:21:57.959 indie hits, right, the one with kurent Angle. 2699 02:21:58.399 --> 02:22:04.399 Yeah, just after. I mean, that's he's his filmography is 2700 02:22:04.479 --> 02:22:05.840 not long, no, not at all. 2701 02:22:05.920 --> 02:22:07.799 That is one of them, and we covered that before 2702 02:22:07.879 --> 02:22:11.319 we lionized Sid yep ye by my first pass th 2703 02:22:11.440 --> 02:22:13.440 under the Cinemat just after finishing this episode of the 2704 02:22:13.479 --> 02:22:17.239 Sid Tribute, his proof of lapsed Serendipity apparently said in 2705 02:22:17.280 --> 02:22:19.680 the episode says, I never met Kurt Angle before this movie, 2706 02:22:19.760 --> 02:22:21.680 and then later says, yes, I met him when Kurt 2707 02:22:21.760 --> 02:22:23.920 was first starting in this business in the Memphis territory. 2708 02:22:25.120 --> 02:22:27.840 It can't be both, Sid, When did you meet this sure? 2709 02:22:28.360 --> 02:22:29.159 Do you sure came both? 2710 02:22:30.239 --> 02:22:32.680 Suit Williams, Welcome back, my friend. Thanks for the pledge. 2711 02:22:32.719 --> 02:22:36.360 We appreciated. Logan, Yes, give me that fucking cake. Matthew Muns, Yes, 2712 02:22:36.600 --> 02:22:39.760 up that pledge. Parker Soul saying, yes, welcome into the 2713 02:22:39.799 --> 02:22:43.159 inner circle. Aaron Horton keep going up? Why stop there? 2714 02:22:44.879 --> 02:22:47.399 Derga points out when we're going through ninety nine Sid 2715 02:22:47.719 --> 02:22:50.639 when he was in that Randy Savage stable. Remember we 2716 02:22:50.760 --> 02:22:53.879 talked about that thing where Sid slap Tory Wilson. Pardon me, 2717 02:22:54.319 --> 02:22:57.200 Randy Savage slap Tory Wilson a nitro one time when 2718 02:22:57.239 --> 02:23:04.360 it wasn't scripted. Yes, Durga points out an important nuance 2719 02:23:04.399 --> 02:23:06.680 about that. He says, this has probably been pointed out already, 2720 02:23:06.680 --> 02:23:08.399 and it's a small thing. But the Tory Wilson's lap 2721 02:23:08.479 --> 02:23:10.360 was that she was laughing at Randy's intensity, so he 2722 02:23:10.399 --> 02:23:12.959 slapped her, not the other way around. I remembered it 2723 02:23:13.079 --> 02:23:16.399 being Randy slapped her, and it was like such a 2724 02:23:16.479 --> 02:23:19.479 fake slap that she couldn't help but laugh. But Randy 2725 02:23:19.520 --> 02:23:22.159 slapped her because she was already laughing at how over 2726 02:23:22.239 --> 02:23:25.000 the top he was being so right, that really makes 2727 02:23:25.040 --> 02:23:26.879 it a little darker, you know what I mean, that 2728 02:23:28.120 --> 02:23:30.200 we can't We can't take solace in the idea that 2729 02:23:30.280 --> 02:23:32.280 the slap was k faved enough that she could laugh 2730 02:23:32.319 --> 02:23:32.559 it off. 2731 02:23:32.639 --> 02:23:35.680 No, in fact, she gots slapped for laughing right, that 2732 02:23:35.799 --> 02:23:38.440 was out of his fucking mind, That's what happened. Just 2733 02:23:38.479 --> 02:23:40.280 think of like the state of his upper body in 2734 02:23:40.319 --> 02:23:42.760 that run, and the look on his face and the 2735 02:23:42.840 --> 02:23:45.840 recedingness of his hairline and the leather of his cangle 2736 02:23:46.559 --> 02:23:55.120 and then he can't get it up. I mean, what 2737 02:23:55.239 --> 02:23:58.079 a story. Yes, indeed, maybe we have to do that journey. 2738 02:23:58.079 --> 02:24:01.399 I don't know. There's too much man, and there's a 2739 02:24:01.479 --> 02:24:04.040 lot there. Oh, he's a fascinating one for sure. 2740 02:24:04.280 --> 02:24:06.120 Alex writes, I'm not trying to be funny when I 2741 02:24:06.159 --> 02:24:08.319 say I actually think the series finale of TLF is 2742 02:24:08.319 --> 02:24:09.600 going to be the Hogan tribute show. 2743 02:24:16.479 --> 02:24:19.280 No, I don't know, Mike says, I mean, listen, depends 2744 02:24:20.239 --> 02:24:23.559 if we're like on our way to the grave. 2745 02:24:23.680 --> 02:24:26.440 Maybe, well, I don't see how. I don't see how 2746 02:24:26.479 --> 02:24:30.559 we can't do a hog contribute until We're in the grave, 2747 02:24:30.600 --> 02:24:34.559 because it was just it have to be thirty years long, 2748 02:24:35.040 --> 02:24:36.040 it'd be so crazy. 2749 02:24:36.920 --> 02:24:37.920 Why do they do this to us? 2750 02:24:37.959 --> 02:24:40.639 Why do they make us think about these things? And 2751 02:24:41.040 --> 02:24:43.639 that's what we do, Mike says. JP's memory of Great 2752 02:24:43.639 --> 02:24:45.920 American Bash ninety nine and the many copies the video 2753 02:24:46.000 --> 02:24:48.600 store had unlocked my own memory. I worked at Hollywood 2754 02:24:48.639 --> 02:24:50.319 Video from two thousand two to two thousand and six, 2755 02:24:50.360 --> 02:24:52.319 and we had a VHS copy of Great American Bash 2756 02:24:52.399 --> 02:24:54.760 to rent and three used copies for sale. Even as 2757 02:24:54.760 --> 02:24:56.559 a huge nineties wrestling fan, I knew better than to 2758 02:24:56.639 --> 02:24:58.239 check out WCW from that era. 2759 02:24:58.760 --> 02:24:58.959 Yeah. 2760 02:24:59.040 --> 02:25:02.600 Man, such a so much excess inventory of those nineteen 2761 02:25:02.680 --> 02:25:04.280 ninety nine WCW tapes. 2762 02:25:04.479 --> 02:25:07.559 Oh for sure. And again like that that weird. It 2763 02:25:07.680 --> 02:25:13.440 was just that weird, you know. I didn't know anything 2764 02:25:13.479 --> 02:25:17.000 about it, and so just seeing Nash and Savage just 2765 02:25:17.079 --> 02:25:18.920 like this a weird thing. Like I'm thinking, this is 2766 02:25:19.000 --> 02:25:20.799 not a thing I ever had any desire to see. 2767 02:25:21.600 --> 02:25:23.559 And on those videotapes, we were wondering during the SID 2768 02:25:23.600 --> 02:25:26.280 tribute what Mandalay Entertainment possibly could have in terms of 2769 02:25:26.360 --> 02:25:30.680 connection because Mandalay entertainment displays on those WW home videotapes. Yes, 2770 02:25:31.079 --> 02:25:33.840 and Tom ex Nacio always with the Intel, comes forward 2771 02:25:33.840 --> 02:25:36.559 and says Mandalay was Peter Gouber's parachute when he got 2772 02:25:36.600 --> 02:25:40.479 fired from sonywhile Jason Hervey worked for Mandalai. So when 2773 02:25:40.520 --> 02:25:44.159 Sony bought licensing rights to distribute WW home video from Turner, 2774 02:25:44.280 --> 02:25:46.040 which I guess that was something I was missing too. 2775 02:25:46.120 --> 02:25:49.159 That Sony bought the rights from Turner in nineteen ninety nine, 2776 02:25:49.360 --> 02:25:51.840 they put Hervey, who had broken the deal, and Mandalay, 2777 02:25:51.879 --> 02:25:54.520 which was interested in sports rights, in charge. Gooper went 2778 02:25:54.559 --> 02:25:57.280 on to be a minority owner of the Warriors, So 2779 02:25:57.399 --> 02:25:58.840 there you go. That was almost like a baby step 2780 02:25:58.840 --> 02:26:02.000 in the direction of Mandela Consis during buying WCW YEP, 2781 02:26:02.159 --> 02:26:04.479 they were already in in the home video side of things. 2782 02:26:04.559 --> 02:26:07.120 And Jason, because you got Hervey there right. 2783 02:26:07.840 --> 02:26:09.879 He also writes a Tom, it's so funny. The three 2784 02:26:09.920 --> 02:26:12.680 biggest licensing deals WW you ever made, Sony for home 2785 02:26:12.760 --> 02:26:15.399 video rights, EA for video game rights, and toy Biz 2786 02:26:15.440 --> 02:26:18.319 for action figure rights all began in January nineteen ninety nine, 2787 02:26:18.520 --> 02:26:20.040 and by the end of ninety nine the business had 2788 02:26:20.079 --> 02:26:22.840 fallen off a Cliff and all those rights were essentially worthless. 2789 02:26:24.280 --> 02:26:28.559 Timed beautifully, guys, real, real, great job by your crack staff. 2790 02:26:29.879 --> 02:26:31.920 William Wright's co chairman. I have lived in the Little Rock, 2791 02:26:32.000 --> 02:26:34.520 Arkansas area for ten years now. I needed a job 2792 02:26:34.600 --> 02:26:36.360 and got on as a server of the local Chili's. 2793 02:26:36.559 --> 02:26:38.520 One of the managers there is gorgeous Gary Jung of 2794 02:26:38.559 --> 02:26:41.159 Global Memphis in Dallas Fame. He once told me about 2795 02:26:41.159 --> 02:26:42.719 some ring gear that he used for a while that 2796 02:26:42.840 --> 02:26:45.280 was the goofy half trunk with one leg covered down 2797 02:26:45.319 --> 02:26:48.040 to his boot. I think we talked about how unfortunate 2798 02:26:48.079 --> 02:26:50.159 that ring gear is during an episode along the way. 2799 02:26:50.719 --> 02:26:52.639 He said that the gear seemed cool at the time, 2800 02:26:52.680 --> 02:26:55.920 but every time he got slammed or suplexed, his balls 2801 02:26:55.920 --> 02:26:58.319 would pop out. Oh my god, So you got to 2802 02:26:58.319 --> 02:27:01.639 consider that, Chris Man, thanks for the support, my friend. 2803 02:27:01.680 --> 02:27:05.280 Welcome to the executive producer tier. Appreciate it very much. 2804 02:27:06.120 --> 02:27:09.399 Vippin with this letter, dearest coach chairman, this message has 2805 02:27:09.440 --> 02:27:11.639 meant more for Jacks though. I hold you both dearly 2806 02:27:11.719 --> 02:27:13.959 for getting me through tough circumstances and being the wrestling 2807 02:27:14.000 --> 02:27:16.639 friends that I need. This is a private message. Please 2808 02:27:16.680 --> 02:27:18.719 do not share publicly. I just want to say thank you. 2809 02:27:18.879 --> 02:27:21.280 We won't but I wanted to say thank you. That's 2810 02:27:21.280 --> 02:27:23.719 all I can say. Kevin Hiknutt, thank you very much 2811 02:27:24.040 --> 02:27:26.639 for the pledge. We appreciate the support. Blake says, just 2812 02:27:26.680 --> 02:27:28.440 a thought, But I was thinking. And don't think there's 2813 02:27:28.440 --> 02:27:30.760 ever been a year from a theatrical release perspective that 2814 02:27:30.879 --> 02:27:34.520 was quite like nineteen eighty nine. Oh yeah, hell, I'll 2815 02:27:34.559 --> 02:27:36.040 spare the list, but it's almost like it had to 2816 02:27:36.079 --> 02:27:38.719 be destined from the gods. Something magical happened that year. 2817 02:27:39.040 --> 02:27:40.399 Not sure if you can do anything with that, but 2818 02:27:40.520 --> 02:27:43.000 some type of nineteen eighty nine cinema journey would fucking 2819 02:27:43.079 --> 02:27:46.000 hit everyone right between the eyes. I think, just yeah, 2820 02:27:46.120 --> 02:27:48.680 to go by year instead of by some. 2821 02:27:48.799 --> 02:27:50.399 I mean I'd have to look. I mean again, I'd 2822 02:27:50.559 --> 02:27:52.600 look to see. I mean I know that there are 2823 02:27:52.760 --> 02:27:56.159 we'd listen. I mean, he talked about it, but we 2824 02:27:56.520 --> 02:27:59.159 already do have one connection at least to the biggest 2825 02:27:59.280 --> 02:28:02.479 movie of night Canadian nine, which was Batman uh in 2826 02:28:02.639 --> 02:28:06.159 Tony Van Silva. Yes, so, I mean it's something to 2827 02:28:06.239 --> 02:28:09.120 look at, you know, something to consider looking at what 2828 02:28:10.280 --> 02:28:15.479 uh you know, like see what what movies are are 2829 02:28:15.639 --> 02:28:19.040 available doing this to you for us. I mean it's 2830 02:28:19.120 --> 02:28:23.200 always the same. I love it, Damiens, We've done and 2831 02:28:23.239 --> 02:28:26.040 we've done some of them already.

Love? It? It is so awesome? 2858 02:29:54.479 --> 02:29:55.079 Makes me happy. 2859 02:29:55.440 --> 02:29:57.920 Rick Rude is the subject line here from Brian. Hello, 2860 02:29:58.120 --> 02:29:59.920 long time, first time in that ass, and I don't 2861 02:30:00.079 --> 02:30:03.559 mind so remember you briefly touched on the rumors regarding 2862 02:30:03.639 --> 02:30:08.319 Rick Rude and being castrated. Donky Tonk, Jake Morocco, and 2863 02:30:08.360 --> 02:30:11.159 Petra have all said the same things. I always thought 2864 02:30:11.159 --> 02:30:13.879 it was probably big Bs, because if the testicular cancer 2865 02:30:13.959 --> 02:30:15.920 rumors were true. However, I did find a bit of 2866 02:30:15.920 --> 02:30:18.159 an interesting post. I went to the Google obituary forms 2867 02:30:18.159 --> 02:30:21.440 and searched Rude. There are around twenty different forms regarding 2868 02:30:21.479 --> 02:30:23.399 his death. Four or five of them were from September 2869 02:30:23.559 --> 02:30:26.360 of ninety nine, shortly after it was officially released in June. 2870 02:30:26.600 --> 02:30:27.920 I opened all of them up and one had a 2871 02:30:27.959 --> 02:30:31.040 comment from September seventh, nineteen ninety nine. Here's a quote 2872 02:30:31.079 --> 02:30:33.840 from the September ninth, nineteen ninety nine Google forum. How 2873 02:30:33.879 --> 02:30:36.399 come the article doesn't mention anything about his pecker falling 2874 02:30:36.440 --> 02:30:39.799 off due to gangren after he shot so much viagra 2875 02:30:39.920 --> 02:30:42.120 into it to get a heart on after losing his 2876 02:30:42.319 --> 02:30:45.680 balls to testicular cancer. We can't believe I got it 2877 02:30:45.719 --> 02:30:46.559 all in one sentence. 2878 02:30:49.559 --> 02:30:50.040 How about that. 2879 02:30:51.840 --> 02:30:54.440 I had heard that in a way, but I hadn't heard. 2880 02:30:55.719 --> 02:30:58.239 I hadn't heard that he did it because he had 2881 02:30:58.920 --> 02:31:00.280 lost his balls due to care answer. 2882 02:31:01.079 --> 02:31:01.639 I just heard that. 2883 02:31:01.799 --> 02:31:04.280 I just always heard the story that he was experimenting 2884 02:31:04.319 --> 02:31:06.639 with it because he wanted to stay hard. I didn't 2885 02:31:06.680 --> 02:31:08.879 know that there was like this kind of medical component 2886 02:31:08.879 --> 02:31:09.040 to it. 2887 02:31:09.200 --> 02:31:10.159 But let's put it this way. 2888 02:31:10.200 --> 02:31:13.280 There's a reason there hasn't been, you know, a Dark 2889 02:31:13.360 --> 02:31:16.159 Side on Rick Rude, or an any biography on Rick Rude, 2890 02:31:16.200 --> 02:31:20.120 or anything approximating like a career documentary on that guy 2891 02:31:20.280 --> 02:31:23.520 or a life in times, because you got to touch 2892 02:31:23.559 --> 02:31:25.159 on that subject at the end, and I don't think 2893 02:31:25.200 --> 02:31:26.639 the family wants to go anywhere near it. 2894 02:31:27.239 --> 02:31:29.280 So embarrassing, you know, right. 2895 02:31:29.319 --> 02:31:33.280 And sad too, because he was he was pretty much 2896 02:31:33.360 --> 02:31:36.920 gearing for an ring comeback, you know, when he died, 2897 02:31:37.520 --> 02:31:39.319 he was about to have another chapter of his career. 2898 02:31:39.360 --> 02:31:42.719 He made that impactful jump to WCW from DX that 2899 02:31:42.879 --> 02:31:44.440 famous ninety was on both shows. 2900 02:31:45.159 --> 02:31:48.920 Really sad. Yes, so that's that. 2901 02:31:49.040 --> 02:31:52.159 Thanks for passing it along. Andrew writes Sid's Vicious viennas. 2902 02:31:52.200 --> 02:31:54.079 So I'm listening to the latest SID Tribute part six 2903 02:31:54.239 --> 02:31:55.799 and there was a shout out to Andrew who purchased 2904 02:31:55.799 --> 02:31:57.879 sid Vienna shirt. My name is Andrew, Yes, that's you. 2905 02:31:58.000 --> 02:32:00.360 I just want to say you're the man. I recently 2906 02:32:00.399 --> 02:32:02.600 purchased the Sid's Vicious Vienna shirt. Now, I don't know 2907 02:32:02.840 --> 02:32:04.680 if it's me you're talking about on the show or 2908 02:32:04.680 --> 02:32:06.159 if it's some other Andrew who got in touch with 2909 02:32:06.200 --> 02:32:07.959 you after buying the shirt, but I thought y'all might 2910 02:32:08.000 --> 02:32:10.079 get a kick. And of why I got the shirt recently, 2911 02:32:10.120 --> 02:32:11.520 my wife and I made a trip to Canada to 2912 02:32:11.559 --> 02:32:13.600 see a family. A fifteen hour drive for us, so 2913 02:32:13.639 --> 02:32:15.360 I always load up on the podcast to make the 2914 02:32:15.479 --> 02:32:18.159 drive easier. For context, my wife has heard the cast before, 2915 02:32:18.159 --> 02:32:19.680 and let's just say she doesn't get it. Is this 2916 02:32:19.799 --> 02:32:22.120 the email boss that inspired the lapsed wife t shirt. 2917 02:32:22.959 --> 02:32:24.879 I think it's the same one. Okay, I might have 2918 02:32:24.879 --> 02:32:26.680 just put it in this folder. Andrew, thanks again. Yeah, 2919 02:32:26.719 --> 02:32:28.399 we passed that along. It was just too money when 2920 02:32:28.440 --> 02:32:30.440 it happened, and it was relevant to the sid journey, 2921 02:32:30.479 --> 02:32:32.639 so we read it there. But I got lapsed. Wife 2922 02:32:32.680 --> 02:32:35.040 moving a couple of units this Christmas season. Oh fuck yeah, 2923 02:32:35.319 --> 02:32:37.319 very nice to say, William Murphy, thanks for bumping up 2924 02:32:37.319 --> 02:32:40.680 the pledge. We appreciate the cake and the support mister 2925 02:32:40.799 --> 02:32:44.120 Rick bell Bottom's rights. I have often nearly prolapsed with 2926 02:32:44.239 --> 02:32:46.399 laughter with your content, and I've always wanted to not 2927 02:32:46.479 --> 02:32:48.760 be broken enough to not subscribe. However, I found that 2928 02:32:48.760 --> 02:32:50.639 I couldn't enjoy the CID episodes. I didn't think he 2929 02:32:50.719 --> 02:32:53.000 was cold enough to be Frank Frank. As for the 2930 02:32:53.120 --> 02:32:56.280 Vienna sausages, the first State WrestleMania's the first five Survivor series, 2931 02:32:56.399 --> 02:32:58.040 Summer Slam eighty one to ninety one, and one or 2932 02:32:58.040 --> 02:32:59.959 two row rumbles, you literally had a six foot eight 2933 02:33:00.120 --> 02:33:04.079 hot dog and trunks for ages. I subscribe to say 2934 02:33:04.159 --> 02:33:06.040 thanks for your content, but plead with you all stop 2935 02:33:06.120 --> 02:33:08.479 wasting time and to please just get on with making 2936 02:33:08.520 --> 02:33:12.559 the Randy Savage biopic. Everyone keeps talking about Savage, and 2937 02:33:12.639 --> 02:33:16.159 it's not like something recently happened with him that would 2938 02:33:16.159 --> 02:33:19.120 make people want it. It's just it's too serendipitous. 2939 02:33:19.159 --> 02:33:20.559 I don't know. I think I'm gonna have to answer 2940 02:33:20.600 --> 02:33:22.399 that weight not have to think about that. But I 2941 02:33:22.479 --> 02:33:25.399 mean it's interesting. I mean, I guess, I guess because 2942 02:33:25.399 --> 02:33:27.360 out of all of the of the rest of us 2943 02:33:27.360 --> 02:33:32.559 who've died, I mean, you know, he's He's prime beef 2944 02:33:32.799 --> 02:33:34.639 of that totally, yeah, of that era. 2945 02:33:34.879 --> 02:33:38.399 If Sid is as lapsed as it gets, then Randy's 2946 02:33:38.399 --> 02:33:42.520 even a higher level, you know, right, Sid has that 2947 02:33:42.639 --> 02:33:45.680 quality of somebody that you wouldn't at first blush think 2948 02:33:46.520 --> 02:33:48.360 to do a tribute for. And that's really where we 2949 02:33:48.399 --> 02:33:52.840 can do damage. Whereas Savage. Everyone knows Brandy Savage is 2950 02:33:52.879 --> 02:33:56.760 worth saving and worth you know, examining. 2951 02:33:57.440 --> 02:34:00.239 I mean, especially because when you consider he you know, 2952 02:34:00.360 --> 02:34:04.239 he died well before we even yes conceive of the show. 2953 02:34:04.159 --> 02:34:06.600 Right, so we didn't have the chance to decide to 2954 02:34:06.680 --> 02:34:09.559 do a tribute show about him. We weren't even in 2955 02:34:09.639 --> 02:34:13.000 that mode yet. Unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't know, it might 2956 02:34:13.079 --> 02:34:15.799 be something, there might be an initiative. I'm in a 2957 02:34:15.840 --> 02:34:18.520 New Year's resolution kind of frame of mind. That's what's 2958 02:34:18.520 --> 02:34:20.399 always so dangerous about the holidays is you get your 2959 02:34:20.440 --> 02:34:23.319 time off, you know, and you start like fucking around 2960 02:34:23.479 --> 02:34:26.079 and your mind starts wandering and you start getting ambitious, 2961 02:34:26.559 --> 02:34:28.559 and you kind of lose it gets a little You 2962 02:34:28.639 --> 02:34:32.239 get a little loss of perspective for how little time 2963 02:34:32.280 --> 02:34:34.280 there actually is in a day in a week when 2964 02:34:34.319 --> 02:34:38.120 things ramp back up, so you like overload all these ambitions, 2965 02:34:38.120 --> 02:34:38.719 which is a good thing. 2966 02:34:38.760 --> 02:34:39.200 It's healthy. 2967 02:34:39.239 --> 02:34:41.200 And we love the solar system pointing us in a 2968 02:34:41.239 --> 02:34:43.879 direction that always makes it easier when people ask for 2969 02:34:44.000 --> 02:34:46.040 us to do it instead of us doing it hoping 2970 02:34:46.040 --> 02:34:48.280 people accept it, which we know they will. But yes, 2971 02:34:49.079 --> 02:34:51.040 this is one too many. This is one too many 2972 02:34:51.360 --> 02:34:54.200 random mentions of savage when we did the sid thing. 2973 02:34:54.959 --> 02:35:01.399 Uh oh, I'd subscribe to say thanks your content. Oops, 2974 02:35:01.399 --> 02:35:03.559 I almost forgot the main reason for my subscription, He writes, 2975 02:35:03.680 --> 02:35:05.399 to put it out there that the third annual Survivor 2976 02:35:05.479 --> 02:35:08.799 series is begging for the lapsed treatment. For sure, It's true. 2977 02:35:08.840 --> 02:35:11.239 Still my favorite pay per view. I'm happy to feel 2978 02:35:11.280 --> 02:35:14.280 happy and ashamed and equal measures. Well, thank you for that. 2979 02:35:14.360 --> 02:35:18.680 I always open to the entreaties and thanks for the 2980 02:35:18.760 --> 02:35:23.360 cake as well. Here is Abibe from Toronto and we're 2981 02:35:23.399 --> 02:35:25.200 going to pass this on to the boss. Abebe's a 2982 02:35:25.200 --> 02:35:27.319 long time supporter. Always great to hear from one of 2983 02:35:27.360 --> 02:35:30.280 the more astute I would say, members of the Solar system. 2984 02:35:30.319 --> 02:35:35.639 What does he have for us this time? The laps 2985 02:35:35.680 --> 02:35:38.399 fan is my favorite piece of media, and I constantly 2986 02:35:38.440 --> 02:35:41.239 go back to it over and over again. I have 2987 02:35:41.280 --> 02:35:43.360 a hard time explaining this even to myself, as I 2988 02:35:43.440 --> 02:35:46.360 honestly don't have any connection to wrestling anymore. This is 2989 02:35:46.440 --> 02:35:49.760 not a work. But after buying my old wrestling buddy 2990 02:35:50.159 --> 02:35:52.520 burying my old wrestling buddy a few months ago, it 2991 02:35:52.600 --> 02:35:55.120 has become clear to me why this podcast has that 2992 02:35:55.319 --> 02:36:00.920 quot quote warm blanket feeling short. My best friend in 2993 02:36:01.000 --> 02:36:03.159 high school in middle school was a huge wrestling fanatic. 2994 02:36:03.239 --> 02:36:05.479 He would tape every raw. I was not allowed to 2995 02:36:05.559 --> 02:36:12.159 watch wrestling because Adnan al Casey Fakeness offended my father 2996 02:36:12.680 --> 02:36:16.239 so deeply, so I would rely on his tapes every 2997 02:36:16.319 --> 02:36:20.959 weekend and we would obsess over every angle. For whatever reason, 2998 02:36:21.040 --> 02:36:23.920 we thought the Rock was an Arab and so he 2999 02:36:24.000 --> 02:36:26.360 became a favorite even before he was cool. Honestly, back 3000 02:36:26.399 --> 02:36:28.840 then with that haircut, he did look like a Saudi 3001 02:36:28.920 --> 02:36:30.840 or a Kuwait. That's amazing. I never thought of that. 3002 02:36:30.920 --> 02:36:35.600 Really funny. We even tried to get buff and ripped 3003 02:36:35.680 --> 02:36:38.680 like our favorite wrestlers, although we were smart enough to 3004 02:36:38.840 --> 02:36:42.520 have other career goals unlike the retarded Bell brothers. His 3005 02:36:42.680 --> 02:36:48.799 words says direct yet Yeah. Anyway, those were some of 3006 02:36:48.840 --> 02:36:51.479 the best years of my life, even though we both 3007 02:36:51.639 --> 02:36:53.959 couldn't get women to touch us even if our life 3008 02:36:54.000 --> 02:36:57.239 depended on it. But unfortunately we grew up. I went 3009 02:36:57.319 --> 02:36:59.799 away to university. He became a dentist and a prompt 3010 02:37:00.120 --> 02:37:03.840 quote prominent figure in the community mosque. So even the 3011 02:37:03.920 --> 02:37:06.639 old wrestling tapes were taped over to delete all evidence 3012 02:37:06.959 --> 02:37:11.079 of wrestling fandom, and we lost touch up until about 3013 02:37:11.079 --> 02:37:13.280 a year ago. I got a text from him that 3014 02:37:13.360 --> 02:37:15.680 he had terminal cancer and that he was that he's 3015 02:37:15.760 --> 02:37:18.799 going to fight. He is going to inject himself a 3016 02:37:18.920 --> 02:37:22.719 lethal dose of poison. He was talking about chemotherapy. We 3017 02:37:22.840 --> 02:37:25.799 both had a good laugh about about that ridiculous McMahon 3018 02:37:26.000 --> 02:37:28.719 and w O promo. I kept in touch with him 3019 02:37:28.719 --> 02:37:33.520 this past year. He passed around from very various unsuccessful 3020 02:37:33.520 --> 02:37:36.639 treatments and began to lose hope and knew he was 3021 02:37:36.680 --> 02:37:39.520 reaching the end. A few days before he passed, he 3022 02:37:39.639 --> 02:37:43.719 mentioned to me those days we had spent watching raw 3023 02:37:43.959 --> 02:37:47.440 and eating his mom's home cooked meals were his favorite 3024 02:37:47.520 --> 02:37:50.959 days and that he and that was the last conversation 3025 02:37:51.079 --> 02:37:54.440 I had with him before he died. Wow, so now 3026 02:37:54.520 --> 02:37:57.040 my fan with the lapse fan makes a bit more sense. 3027 02:37:57.120 --> 02:38:00.319 It's two friends obsessing and making fun of a dumb 3028 02:38:00.399 --> 02:38:06.200 product that they once enjoyed. The wrestling fandom lapses with 3029 02:38:06.360 --> 02:38:09.360 the friends and the good time staying. You don't need 3030 02:38:09.399 --> 02:38:12.239 to read this email on air. Just wanted to place 3031 02:38:12.280 --> 02:38:15.040 the share, and quite frankly, the funeral was not the 3032 02:38:15.079 --> 02:38:18.920 best place to do it. I talked about our share 3033 02:38:18.959 --> 02:38:22.840 wrestling fan in that environment, I would have been judged harshly, 3034 02:38:23.000 --> 02:38:25.959 and unlike him, I'm still alive and have to live 3035 02:38:26.479 --> 02:38:31.040 with the judgment and shame. Wow. That's a hell of 3036 02:38:31.079 --> 02:38:34.360 a letter. Yeah it is, and he's right. 3037 02:38:34.479 --> 02:38:36.200 We don't set out to be that, but we can 3038 02:38:36.280 --> 02:38:39.920 certainly serve that purpose for folks who needs the sin. Hitman, 3039 02:38:40.000 --> 02:38:42.040 thanks for bumping all the way up to that moat tier. 3040 02:38:42.319 --> 02:38:44.760 It's time to shout out the Moat Tier. It's been 3041 02:38:44.879 --> 02:38:49.479 too long. Look, it's not for everybody, yep, but it 3042 02:38:49.639 --> 02:38:53.920 is our richest, highest level of participation in support, and 3043 02:38:54.120 --> 02:38:56.879 it is a bunch of people that are the envy 3044 02:38:57.040 --> 02:38:59.680 of any podcast in the world that they would put 3045 02:38:59.719 --> 02:39:02.760 this cake on a monthly basis really for support. I mean, 3046 02:39:02.799 --> 02:39:04.239 there are a lot of extra goodies we try to 3047 02:39:04.280 --> 02:39:06.200 throw to the Moat Tier, but with the exception of 3048 02:39:06.200 --> 02:39:08.319 Wrestle Mamia, which of course is more than worth it, 3049 02:39:08.319 --> 02:39:12.079 it's really truly a spirit of like, no, I want 3050 02:39:12.120 --> 02:39:14.600 to I want to show the highest level of support 3051 02:39:14.760 --> 02:39:17.159 because you keep doing what you're doing, not because there's 3052 02:39:17.200 --> 02:39:19.920 something directly in it for me. Just the existence of 3053 02:39:20.000 --> 02:39:22.319 the podcast is what's in it for me, and so 3054 02:39:23.040 --> 02:39:26.239 as is only appropriate, here's the honor roll of folks 3055 02:39:26.280 --> 02:39:29.680 that are way way high up in that solar system 3056 02:39:30.280 --> 02:39:34.360 in the Moat Tier.

The spotlight shines on a 3080 02:41:03.760 --> 02:41:07.479 giant stack of Vienna sausages. Sid then breaks into a 3081 02:41:07.559 --> 02:41:09.799 rendition of good night by someone from the music Man. 3082 02:41:10.600 --> 02:41:13.639 After he's finished, he disappears. The curtain then drops as 3083 02:41:13.680 --> 02:41:16.239 suddenly and devastatingly as a giant nineteen ninety two West 3084 02:41:16.280 --> 02:41:18.959 Memphis power bomb and scene. 3085 02:41:20.360 --> 02:41:20.600 Fart. 3086 02:41:20.639 --> 02:41:24.399 Donovan, thank you very much for your support.

They don't 3172 02:45:48.799 --> 02:45:55.680 know shit, cry baby. This is Scott Michael Ferry, one 3173 02:45:55.719 --> 02:45:58.639 of the big cinophiles on the Solar System, commenting, oh yes, 3174 02:45:58.719 --> 02:46:01.159 on our coverage of The Exorcis on Scory Movie Season. 3175 02:46:01.520 --> 02:46:03.680 He writes, are you sure this episode dropped on Halloween? 3176 02:46:03.719 --> 02:46:05.239 Because it sure feels like Christmas? 3177 02:46:05.319 --> 02:46:05.479 To me? 3178 02:46:08.200 --> 02:46:09.840 This is an all time film for me and I 3179 02:46:09.879 --> 02:46:11.760 could not have been more excited to see that episode 3180 02:46:11.840 --> 02:46:14.959 length was longer than my fucking work day, Absolutely worth 3181 02:46:15.000 --> 02:46:17.120 the weight of a full year. This is also a 3182 02:46:17.159 --> 02:46:18.760 bit of a loose connection but up here in the 3183 02:46:18.799 --> 02:46:22.159 Northeast there was a wrestling faction named Team Pazzuzu who 3184 02:46:22.200 --> 02:46:24.360 would wear that oh no shit, famous shot at the 3185 02:46:24.360 --> 02:46:26.920 Pazuzu face from the film on their knee pads and shirts, 3186 02:46:26.959 --> 02:46:29.000 even if the face was altered so you could make 3187 02:46:29.000 --> 02:46:32.440 out the words suck me, oh my god.

But I know that it's 3205 02:47:28.200 --> 02:47:30.399 you know, it's it's it can be a little hefty 3206 02:47:30.559 --> 02:47:32.600 on the wallet, and I know, but I know that 3207 02:47:32.799 --> 02:47:37.000 once you cross over, you're gonna get it. Yeah, you're 3208 02:47:37.000 --> 02:47:39.959 gonna understand.

Oh, Mama, I'm Marianne Mama sorrow. 3222 02:48:31.559 --> 02:48:33.639 Does that dog tell you when he wants to go out? 3223 02:48:34.559 --> 02:48:38.360 Oh my god, JP, No, Mama sorrow. Okay, he's just 3224 02:48:38.440 --> 02:48:42.760 looking for the sun. Her wholesomeness, he says, is untouched. 3225 02:48:43.319 --> 02:48:47.120 It's it's you know, well, yeah, go for it. It's 3226 02:48:47.319 --> 02:48:52.319 it's a So for some reason, she just has this 3227 02:48:52.799 --> 02:48:58.760 weird fear and instinct that if the dog is doing 3228 02:48:58.920 --> 02:49:04.840 anything but sleeping, it must need to go to the bathroom. Ah, 3229 02:49:05.760 --> 02:49:07.559 it must need to go out. I'm like, no, this 3230 02:49:07.760 --> 02:49:11.319 dog goes out three times a day, all right, it knows, 3231 02:49:11.920 --> 02:49:14.319 you know, it's it's very I wouldn't say, I'm not 3232 02:49:14.360 --> 02:49:16.360 going to say that that he is one hundred percent 3233 02:49:17.360 --> 02:49:20.600 uh you know, a house broken. But I'm gonna say 3234 02:49:20.639 --> 02:49:23.680 he is like eighty percent house broken, all right, And 3235 02:49:23.799 --> 02:49:27.399 he knows that we walk three times a day, and 3236 02:49:27.559 --> 02:49:30.559 so he's not you know, it's because he's walking around, 3237 02:49:30.680 --> 02:49:35.280 doesn't mean he's a fucking bathroom. Now, Now you don't 3238 02:49:35.280 --> 02:49:39.000 find yourself having to repeat that, do you? Oh my god, 3239 02:49:41.120 --> 02:49:44.040 over and over every time every time they come here, 3240 02:49:45.239 --> 02:49:46.760 every time I every time I bring the dog up 3241 02:49:46.799 --> 02:49:51.079 to their house, it's the same thing. Does he need 3242 02:49:51.120 --> 02:49:52.559 to go out? Is that poop. 3243 02:49:53.639 --> 02:49:56.639 H No, Mom, wasn't you worried during the unwrappening that 3244 02:49:56.680 --> 02:49:57.760 there was dog shit somewhere? 3245 02:49:58.360 --> 02:50:00.200 Yeah? It was like it wasn't dog shit, it was 3246 02:50:00.280 --> 02:50:02.120 something else. No, it was I think it was like 3247 02:50:02.719 --> 02:50:07.840 tree chocolate, yes, trets, Yeah, chocolate. Good thing to eat 3248 02:50:07.879 --> 02:50:11.760 that Dan the Man Noble pumping up that pledge. You 3249 02:50:11.799 --> 02:50:14.799 can never forget Dan Man.

How 3257 02:50:29.840 --> 02:50:33.040 about Luke from Manchester who heard us talking about blobby 3258 02:50:33.399 --> 02:50:35.120 because there was concerned about a blobby push? 3259 02:50:36.120 --> 02:50:38.639 Oh my god, yeah remember that it was a while ago. 3260 02:50:39.079 --> 02:50:41.479 Yeah, hi, chaps, just thought i'd share on listening to 3261 02:50:41.559 --> 02:50:43.879 Indiana Jones and the last Crusade episode. 3262 02:50:43.479 --> 02:50:45.440 Of UTC, which is episode fifty six, so he's in 3263 02:50:45.479 --> 02:50:46.639 the archives. That's a while ago. 3264 02:50:46.799 --> 02:50:46.959 Yeah. 3265 02:50:47.120 --> 02:50:48.719 Yeah, you have a wonderful time watching a clip of 3266 02:50:48.760 --> 02:50:50.319 Pat wrote to take on the British legend that is 3267 02:50:50.399 --> 02:50:52.879 mister Blobby. You even posed the question how many kids 3268 02:50:52.920 --> 02:50:55.520 had nightmares of mister Blobby to answer a question. He 3269 02:50:55.559 --> 02:50:57.680 was a British icon. He was a hero of mine 3270 02:50:57.680 --> 02:50:59.239 as a small child, and I even had a Mister 3271 02:50:59.280 --> 02:51:02.159 Blobby teddy growing up. I still have this original teddy today, 3272 02:51:02.239 --> 02:51:04.639 thirty years later, and I have the fondest memories of him, 3273 02:51:04.799 --> 02:51:08.239 including owning multiple Mister Blobby VHS tapes highlighting his numerous 3274 02:51:08.280 --> 02:51:11.120 hilarious entics. I realized this is over two years after 3275 02:51:11.159 --> 02:51:13.479 this episode dropped, but I couldn't resist in answering the 3276 02:51:13.520 --> 02:51:15.159 call of the co chairs and sharing with you how 3277 02:51:15.239 --> 02:51:17.879 loved he really was. Never in my wildest dreams that 3278 02:51:17.959 --> 02:51:20.079 I think I would ever hear Lapstogan nervously utter the 3279 02:51:20.120 --> 02:51:21.680 words mister Blobby. 3280 02:51:21.760 --> 02:51:27.559 Push dude, what do you do? Blobby? What amazing brother? 3281 02:51:27.600 --> 02:51:32.040 Your loyally p patron Luke from Manchester. Unbelievable. This blobby 3282 02:51:32.079 --> 02:51:33.399 thing has a hold on these Brits. 3283 02:51:33.920 --> 02:51:39.159 Yeah, I love it. I love it. Okay. 3284 02:51:39.399 --> 02:51:39.520 Uh. 3285 02:51:42.000 --> 02:51:45.239 This great member of the Solar system always changes its name, 3286 02:51:45.319 --> 02:51:47.920 so I never really know what to call him. It's 3287 02:51:47.959 --> 02:51:51.399 it's Cliff okay, one time, he's going by County Rhodes. 3288 02:51:52.840 --> 02:51:55.399 He wrote, talk about Wrestle Mamia. I watched A Vivar's 3289 02:51:55.399 --> 02:51:57.600 series ninety six on pay per view at my grandmother's house, 3290 02:51:57.639 --> 02:51:59.239 and on the way home, I kept trying to justify 3291 02:51:59.280 --> 02:52:01.120 how sid won the idol in My mom, who didn't 3292 02:52:01.120 --> 02:52:03.399 give a fuck about wrestling, kept exclaiming, but he cheated, 3293 02:52:03.600 --> 02:52:04.159 he cheated. 3294 02:52:05.079 --> 02:52:09.799 That is the greatest thing. That's it. That's it. There. 3295 02:52:09.879 --> 02:52:13.120 There there is such a you know, there's there's a 3296 02:52:15.600 --> 02:52:18.040 I'm not gonna say for every mom, but but for 3297 02:52:18.719 --> 02:52:23.200 for a good a good number of moms. There is 3298 02:52:23.399 --> 02:52:30.280 this this this kind of a threshold that they that 3299 02:52:30.360 --> 02:52:36.280 they cross and they they start you know, they they're 3300 02:52:36.360 --> 02:52:38.600 they're there. They get sucked into the to the story 3301 02:52:38.719 --> 02:52:41.719 and the character of it like it like a kid does, 3302 02:52:43.079 --> 02:52:48.479 and they you know, they start reacting. You know, if 3303 02:52:48.520 --> 02:52:50.399 you thought, if you think about these things like no, 3304 02:52:50.600 --> 02:52:52.399 like none of the stuff really makes sense. You know, 3305 02:52:52.440 --> 02:52:54.719 we've talked about it, the idea that well, someone throws 3306 02:52:54.719 --> 02:52:56.440 you in the ropes, why do you go with it? 3307 02:52:57.680 --> 02:52:59.440 Why do you why do you feel the need to 3308 02:52:59.559 --> 02:53:01.600 run like you're not you know, I could if if 3309 02:53:01.639 --> 02:53:03.280 someone threw me into the ropes and I and I 3310 02:53:03.399 --> 02:53:07.079 wanted to stop on staff. Absolutely, you know, but you 3311 02:53:07.159 --> 02:53:09.600 get you get sucked into it they I mean, i'd 3312 02:53:09.639 --> 02:53:12.120 imagine also because the wrestlers do a very good job 3313 02:53:12.200 --> 02:53:14.360 at making it seem like it's actually happening. Yeah, that's 3314 02:53:14.360 --> 02:53:17.120 actually a great point, Like you're not going to catch 3315 02:53:17.319 --> 02:53:20.639 the mom getting sucked in to a match between guys 3316 02:53:20.680 --> 02:53:23.120 who suck like. That's a tribute to the guys that 3317 02:53:23.239 --> 02:53:26.120 somebody who knows they're not into it and thinks it's 3318 02:53:26.120 --> 02:53:29.479 bullshit ends up getting kind of mad when a guy 3319 02:53:29.600 --> 02:53:33.799 cheats to win, right right, that means you're doing it well. Yep. 3320 02:53:34.200 --> 02:53:36.079 Tony Van Silva talked about that, and I thought a 3321 02:53:36.079 --> 02:53:38.239 really a refreshing way. He was like, you know, yes, yeah, 3322 02:53:38.239 --> 02:53:39.920 everybody knows to put on, but it's not about that. 3323 02:53:40.520 --> 02:53:44.319 It's about allowing the person's emotions next to you to 3324 02:53:44.399 --> 02:53:48.040 bleed into you so you can have this experience. Yes, 3325 02:53:48.639 --> 02:53:50.440 so you can, you can share in the emotion in 3326 02:53:50.479 --> 02:53:52.000 the room, and no matter what caused it and the 3327 02:53:52.040 --> 02:53:54.719 authenticity of what caused it, that is that's less important 3328 02:53:55.680 --> 02:53:58.440 than the experience of sharing and everyone cheering or everyone 3329 02:53:58.520 --> 02:54:02.159 booing for something that's intoxicating. Whether what you're cheering or 3330 02:54:02.200 --> 02:54:05.680 booing is actual conflict or not is immaterial, which I 3331 02:54:05.719 --> 02:54:08.280 thought was really interesting because his mind went there right away. 3332 02:54:09.159 --> 02:54:10.959 He had no trouble answering the question why do these 3333 02:54:10.959 --> 02:54:12.600 people come here if they didn't think it was real? 3334 02:54:14.040 --> 02:54:15.879 Ryan Warner, thank you very much for the pledge. Welcome 3335 02:54:15.879 --> 02:54:19.360 to the ept or Zachary Cole Yes, Felix n Yes, 3336 02:54:19.920 --> 02:54:22.040 Sean Wright. Sid as champion could be comparable to a 3337 02:54:22.079 --> 02:54:25.079 popular sitcom character who isn't as valuable unless part of 3338 02:54:25.079 --> 02:54:26.040 an ensemble cast. 3339 02:54:26.120 --> 02:54:27.159 I like that, that's true. 3340 02:54:27.479 --> 02:54:30.680 M An example would be Joey from Friends, popular with fans, 3341 02:54:30.879 --> 02:54:35.559 has noticeable catchphrase, notable catchphrase, and Garner's laughs from the audience. However, 3342 02:54:35.600 --> 02:54:38.479 when presented as the a plot or given more sincere storylines, 3343 02:54:38.520 --> 02:54:41.040 they are more of a miss. This is further accentuated 3344 02:54:41.079 --> 02:54:42.680 with the spin off sitcom of Joey. It was a 3345 02:54:42.719 --> 02:54:45.639 big flop because ultimately, despite his popularity, the character slash 3346 02:54:45.680 --> 02:54:48.680 performer is limited. This is the case with Sid popular, 3347 02:54:48.799 --> 02:54:51.520 great look, memorable catchphrase, but when the show is meant 3348 02:54:51.520 --> 02:54:54.559 to revolve around him as limitations are further accentuated. This 3349 02:54:54.719 --> 02:54:57.879 is often a struggle for monster and spectacle champions. Undertaker's 3350 02:54:57.920 --> 02:55:00.120 reigns are hindered by the limitations of his character to 3351 02:55:00.200 --> 02:55:03.360 appear vulnerable and to sell challengers as potential threats. SID 3352 02:55:03.479 --> 02:55:05.840 never evolved his promos beyond the shout Leaden style of 3353 02:55:05.879 --> 02:55:07.920 the eighties and early nineties, and exception would be the 3354 02:55:07.920 --> 02:55:11.280 scripted Nietzsche promo. Yeah, that's the Nietzsche prom that's the 3355 02:55:11.840 --> 02:55:12.840 empty arena. 3356 02:55:14.079 --> 02:55:14.280 One. 3357 02:55:14.319 --> 02:55:18.000 Before Royal Roman ninety seven, Brett, Sean and Austin provided 3358 02:55:18.040 --> 02:55:20.239 a more dynamic, grounded promo style for the time, and 3359 02:55:20.319 --> 02:55:23.079 Sid stood out for the wrong reasons. The ensemble cast 3360 02:55:23.159 --> 02:55:25.120 mentality of the main event scene in ninety six to 3361 02:55:25.200 --> 02:55:27.879 ninety seven hid some of Sid's limitations, but it became 3362 02:55:27.959 --> 02:55:29.719 clear that once he was given the A plot, he 3363 02:55:29.879 --> 02:55:33.680 was no longer the man. That's true, he couldn't be 3364 02:55:33.719 --> 02:55:36.799 the man. It was just hilarious because his catch phrase 3365 02:55:37.000 --> 02:55:38.159 was the man who's the man? 3366 02:55:39.000 --> 02:55:39.159 Right. 3367 02:55:39.719 --> 02:55:42.280 Paully cautiously writes kind of harvest a case of viennas 3368 02:55:42.319 --> 02:55:45.040 from the grocery store.

Nostalgia, 3373 02:56:00.120 --> 02:56:02.719 I guess with Sid Brett Taker and pilled up HBK 3374 02:56:02.879 --> 02:56:05.760 slurring every word that wasn't We're wrestling Federation the main 3375 02:56:05.799 --> 02:56:07.879 event promos in late ninety sixth early ninety seven word 3376 02:56:07.959 --> 02:56:11.239 dire at times.

Kaypo wants the uh the 3379 02:56:19.959 --> 02:56:21.040 pumpkin seed recipe. 3380 02:56:21.639 --> 02:56:22.200 I sent him. 3381 02:56:23.120 --> 02:56:25.399 Oh this is way back, I think, I think I 3382 02:56:25.559 --> 02:56:27.959 think I sent him to He also wants the audio 3383 02:56:28.040 --> 02:56:30.680 file of John Spencer laughing send him that memory? 3384 02:56:31.600 --> 02:56:33.159 Did I send him that?

Why did he come up 3400 02:58:04.319 --> 02:58:08.600 under the cinemat when we did the Rock? When we 3401 02:58:08.680 --> 02:58:11.440 did the Rock? So John Spencer, you know, he's a great, 3402 02:58:11.600 --> 02:58:18.559 wonderful actor, that guy of that guy's okay? And he 3403 02:58:19.799 --> 02:58:23.120 he did this interview ship. I forget if it was 3404 02:58:24.280 --> 02:58:26.639 I forget if it was on There was one on CNN, 3405 02:58:26.719 --> 02:58:29.600 but this might have been Fresh Air, I don't remember. 3406 02:58:30.239 --> 02:58:33.639 And he just, you know, he was talking about he's 3407 02:58:33.680 --> 02:58:37.559 a very genuine individual, he's a great person. He's talking 3408 02:58:37.600 --> 02:58:40.079 about addiction. You know, he's struggled with addiction in his 3409 02:58:40.120 --> 02:58:43.079 whole life. And and then he just did this fucking 3410 02:58:43.200 --> 02:58:53.959 weird ass. Lack was like, what is this? I love 3411 02:58:54.040 --> 02:58:59.319 those so much? Oh God, wow, that was a riot there. 3412 02:59:00.040 --> 02:59:03.719 I wasn't ready for that. Darren Hughes, thank you very 3413 02:59:03.799 --> 02:59:09.440 much for the pledge. We appreciate the cake. Hy Daddy 3414 02:59:09.600 --> 02:59:13.920 just writes on an episode it's sid one word. Viennasen 3415 02:59:19.959 --> 02:59:26.159 brother Joe writes co chairs. Sid is the real life 3416 02:59:26.159 --> 02:59:29.559 equivalent of Biff hand and from Back to the Future. Yes, 3417 02:59:30.000 --> 02:59:32.399 a few examples, and I'm sure there are more. Once 3418 02:59:32.479 --> 02:59:35.760 and for good this is the quote from SID. Take 3419 02:59:35.840 --> 02:59:38.319 like a tree and get out of here, Biff. Yeah, 3420 02:59:39.600 --> 02:59:41.760 work right, Midget also rights here in Wisconsin. At least 3421 02:59:41.760 --> 02:59:44.600 in print, harvest is used versus hunt. So we're talking 3422 02:59:44.600 --> 02:59:48.079 about Sid is a hunter. Oh yes, talking about harvest. 3423 02:59:48.200 --> 02:59:52.159 Yet they use the word hunter not harvester. Okay, great 3424 02:59:52.200 --> 02:59:55.639 clarification there, Jeremy, thanks very much for the for the sport. 3425 02:59:55.760 --> 03:00:00.559 We appreciate the pledge on Patreon. Neil rights after this 3426 03:00:00.639 --> 03:00:02.040 episode of Total NonStop SID. 3427 03:00:02.200 --> 03:00:02.760 That's a good one. 3428 03:00:03.520 --> 03:00:05.760 I think Diesel is still the worst funny, It's still 3429 03:00:05.760 --> 03:00:08.040 the worst WWF champion, but Sydney has a claim as well. 3430 03:00:08.159 --> 03:00:09.719 At least with Diesel, there was an attempt to put 3431 03:00:09.760 --> 03:00:11.079 him in the middle of the action, but SID is 3432 03:00:11.079 --> 03:00:13.479 a complete afterthought. I remember Jim Ross saying that at 3433 03:00:13.479 --> 03:00:15.360 this time that instead of pushing one guy, they wanted 3434 03:00:15.360 --> 03:00:18.079 a multipolar main event scene with Brett sean undertaker in 3435 03:00:18.120 --> 03:00:20.280 SID exchanging the belt, and Sid feels like the distant 3436 03:00:20.399 --> 03:00:25.200 number four on that list would you agree, bost Man, Uh, 3437 03:00:25.440 --> 03:00:26.440 distint number four? 3438 03:00:29.200 --> 03:00:29.639 I don't know. 3439 03:00:29.840 --> 03:00:31.520 I would say number four. I'm not a distant thought. 3440 03:00:31.520 --> 03:00:36.680 I feel like him and Undertaker were pretty interchangeable in 3441 03:00:36.799 --> 03:00:38.200 terms of the world title picture. 3442 03:00:37.959 --> 03:00:40.799 At the time. I don't know. 3443 03:00:41.440 --> 03:00:43.680 Yeah, maybe maybe him and Brett were pretty was a 3444 03:00:43.719 --> 03:00:48.680 pretty good program in late ninety six. Yes, yes, yeah, 3445 03:00:49.000 --> 03:00:54.079 maybe Carlo right guarding it's not like it's it. I 3446 03:00:54.079 --> 03:00:56.319 don't know why, but for me, it's requiring more thought, 3447 03:00:57.639 --> 03:01:00.760 a deeper thought. Yeah, process, So it's like a Sid. 3448 03:01:02.079 --> 03:01:04.520 Sid by beating Sean at Survivor's Series ninety six, launched 3449 03:01:04.559 --> 03:01:07.719 the whole idea of the world title picture being up 3450 03:01:07.760 --> 03:01:10.680 for grabs. It kind of revolved around him, right, he 3451 03:01:10.799 --> 03:01:14.159 was a catalyst. I'm not saying he was the one that, 3452 03:01:14.280 --> 03:01:16.520 you know, could have really supported the position. I think 3453 03:01:16.559 --> 03:01:18.600 we made it very clear and established that he was 3454 03:01:18.879 --> 03:01:20.600 never going to be a longer term champion. It really 3455 03:01:20.639 --> 03:01:23.079 didn't have the tools to be. But it's kind of 3456 03:01:23.079 --> 03:01:26.000 weird that this chaos was caused by the fact that 3457 03:01:26.040 --> 03:01:27.520 they put the belt on Sid and then all of 3458 03:01:27.520 --> 03:01:29.959 a sudden it was kind of like up for grabs. 3459 03:01:29.959 --> 03:01:32.200 Who could be considered the top man in the company 3460 03:01:32.200 --> 03:01:34.120 because of Stags your world champ. Everyone else has a 3461 03:01:34.159 --> 03:01:36.360 claim to. But he's the champ, and he's the reason 3462 03:01:36.440 --> 03:01:38.760 for it being that way at the top of the 3463 03:01:38.840 --> 03:01:43.479 card and not just all revolving around Shawn Michaels. Carla 3464 03:01:43.520 --> 03:01:47.120 writes regarding harvesting, the place described sounded like a game farm. 3465 03:01:48.000 --> 03:01:50.920 Is Sid's hunting again. They keep wild animals inside high 3466 03:01:50.959 --> 03:01:53.799 fenced land. These animals were grown and harvested like a farm, 3467 03:01:53.920 --> 03:01:57.159 people paying money to costplay hunting. Harvesting is also used 3468 03:01:57.200 --> 03:01:59.200 by some as a politically correct term to describe hunting 3469 03:01:59.280 --> 03:02:02.120 unless violent or socially acceptable language. I use the word 3470 03:02:02.239 --> 03:02:05.000 kill when I kill, not because I'm blood thirsty, because 3471 03:02:05.040 --> 03:02:06.079 it's honest and accurate. 3472 03:02:06.799 --> 03:02:09.079 That's right. Oh, we can vote for that, Brent Clark. 3473 03:02:09.239 --> 03:02:10.799 Welcome to the Executive producer tier. 3474 03:02:11.159 --> 03:02:13.920 Thank you very much. Jordan writes a new holiday tradition 3475 03:02:14.000 --> 03:02:16.520 to the co chairman of the Only Podcast Best Enjoyed, Reclellly, 3476 03:02:16.840 --> 03:02:18.600 Hope this finds you well. I'm writing to share some 3477 03:02:18.680 --> 03:02:20.280 good news that will hopefully bring some joy to the 3478 03:02:20.319 --> 03:02:23.120 Solar System's collective heart. Last Christmas, my brother, who is 3479 03:02:23.200 --> 03:02:24.799 not a fan, was kind enough to gift me, a 3480 03:02:24.920 --> 03:02:27.440 nearly thirty year old man, two tickets to the WW 3481 03:02:27.559 --> 03:02:29.840 Holiday Tour in Baltimore. I've roped picked up with my 3482 03:02:30.000 --> 03:02:31.799 parents into going with me again this year as a 3483 03:02:31.840 --> 03:02:34.239 sort of new holiday tradition, at least for me. We're 3484 03:02:34.280 --> 03:02:38.440 planning to dine at Sabatinos beforehand. That's the move right there. 3485 03:02:38.559 --> 03:02:40.520 That's it. That's exactly what you do. 3486 03:02:41.120 --> 03:02:44.159 Stroke of genius, as it seems the only appropriate choice 3487 03:02:44.200 --> 03:02:46.479 other than maybe Jimmy Seafood. Anyway, just wanted to say 3488 03:02:46.520 --> 03:02:48.399 that even in the grim darkness of the year twenty 3489 03:02:48.559 --> 03:02:51.120 twenty four, we can start something new and hope for 3490 03:02:51.600 --> 03:02:56.120 a brighter future. Mike writes Hbka's commentary on Sid's matches, 3491 03:02:56.159 --> 03:02:58.760 it buried Alive. It's time in Main's thirteen. It took 3492 03:02:58.840 --> 03:03:02.319 TLF to highlight how weird that is. He always takes 3493 03:03:02.479 --> 03:03:11.159 focus away from Sid. Yep, yep, that was always the thing. Okay, 3494 03:03:11.159 --> 03:03:14.559 I'm talking about taxidermy deer heads because Sid had one 3495 03:03:14.639 --> 03:03:16.879 on his wall. Daniel wants us to know that he 3496 03:03:16.959 --> 03:03:19.639 inherited two taxidermy deer heads through marriage, and these are 3497 03:03:19.680 --> 03:03:23.559 the most creepy, ghoulish, harrowing, night Merrish items in my 3498 03:03:23.680 --> 03:03:25.760 house extraordinarily uncomfortable. 3499 03:03:25.840 --> 03:03:28.120 He writes, Yeah, I agree, and I don't think you 3500 03:03:28.200 --> 03:03:28.479 need that. 3501 03:03:28.879 --> 03:03:32.000 Says these two deerheads eyes follow me around our living room. 3502 03:03:32.079 --> 03:03:35.159 The whole concept is alien and disturbing to me. 3503 03:03:35.440 --> 03:03:39.600 Ooh, thought of Yeah, I don't find that okay. 3504 03:03:39.760 --> 03:03:44.239 Yeah, definitely stops you in your tracks. Scott writes thought 3505 03:03:44.280 --> 03:03:46.559 in the SID ninety six Survivors series entrance. It's funny 3506 03:03:46.600 --> 03:03:48.959 that entrance, a stone cold killer, fist pumping fans who 3507 03:03:48.959 --> 03:03:50.920 want him to kill. How simple it was, even with 3508 03:03:51.000 --> 03:03:53.600 the fireworks. How that entrance sticks with me more than 3509 03:03:53.639 --> 03:03:56.520 the Dog and Pony Show WrestleMania entrances. Maybe the man 3510 03:03:56.600 --> 03:03:58.799 makes the entrance another the extra stuff. Maybe it used 3511 03:03:58.840 --> 03:04:01.440 to be better, so true. I mean, think about the 3512 03:04:01.440 --> 03:04:03.399 effort they put in these Mania entrances, and by the 3513 03:04:03.440 --> 03:04:05.760 time night two is over, you maybe remember one of them? 3514 03:04:06.120 --> 03:04:09.520 Maybe, I mean, yeah, and hardly. I mean, And you 3515 03:04:09.559 --> 03:04:14.040 know what's funny is that they go above and beyond 3516 03:04:14.159 --> 03:04:21.079 with costumes and and uh uh, you know, lighting and 3517 03:04:21.319 --> 03:04:26.120 music and pyro and all that stuff. Nothing's better than 3518 03:04:26.159 --> 03:04:30.760 Sean Michael's on the zip line, right, you know, remember 3519 03:04:30.840 --> 03:04:33.280 that shit way more than I remember anything else. 3520 03:04:34.000 --> 03:04:37.719 So true, you know, it's anything else. You can do it, 3521 03:04:37.959 --> 03:04:40.639 but just do it for one person or two people 3522 03:04:40.920 --> 03:04:41.879 so it's memorable. 3523 03:04:42.840 --> 03:04:43.200 I don't. 3524 03:04:43.440 --> 03:04:45.440 I'm getting a little annoyed with like this, fuck it, 3525 03:04:45.520 --> 03:04:48.079 WrestleMania becoming like prom for these geeks. 3526 03:04:48.120 --> 03:04:50.920 You know what I mean, Oh, totally is. It's exactly 3527 03:04:51.000 --> 03:04:51.760 what it is. It's prom. 3528 03:04:52.000 --> 03:04:54.840 Just it shows them to be so needy for like 3529 03:04:55.399 --> 03:04:59.959 dress up. You know, stop stop, like not everybody needs 3530 03:05:00.040 --> 03:05:05.120 a fucking marching band, ridiculous. It's because they're fucking assholes. 3531 03:05:05.520 --> 03:05:09.479 It's just because they're they expect something out of wrestling 3532 03:05:09.520 --> 03:05:11.840 that wrestling does not give to you, no matter how 3533 03:05:11.920 --> 03:05:15.719 much is spent on you and how you know, gussied up, 3534 03:05:15.760 --> 03:05:18.120 you feel it's like, that's not wrestling. Wrestling is not 3535 03:05:19.200 --> 03:05:21.799 something that's going to make you feel like a fucking 3536 03:05:22.559 --> 03:05:23.520 mythical superhero. 3537 03:05:24.239 --> 03:05:27.920 Well, wrestling is well more importantly, maybe it'll make you 3538 03:05:28.000 --> 03:05:30.159 feel like it if you're in the ring, but it's 3539 03:05:30.200 --> 03:05:31.760 not meant that for the fans. 3540 03:05:31.959 --> 03:05:34.760 Yeah, that's kind of what I mean. It's you not 3541 03:05:34.879 --> 03:05:36.719 to come off that way. You're supposed to be there 3542 03:05:36.840 --> 03:05:39.399 to do business. You're there to fucking kill somebody. And 3543 03:05:39.520 --> 03:05:42.559 if you have to go through a twelve step choreographed 3544 03:05:43.399 --> 03:05:46.760 fucking gimmick on the way to the ring, I just 3545 03:05:46.879 --> 03:05:47.280 it takes it. 3546 03:05:47.440 --> 03:05:47.799 I don't know. 3547 03:05:48.600 --> 03:05:50.600 You have to be a special kind of athlete. And 3548 03:05:50.680 --> 03:05:52.639 there are some combat athletes who can do this, who 3549 03:05:52.719 --> 03:05:56.120 can have that kind of showmanship and still convince the 3550 03:05:56.200 --> 03:05:58.840 public that they're they're there to kick ass. In wrestling 3551 03:05:58.879 --> 03:06:02.000 where it's fake, should be a higher premium on preserving 3552 03:06:02.079 --> 03:06:06.399 that intensity, yep, because you can't. You can't like Prince 3553 03:06:07.879 --> 03:06:10.000 and I see him come out and just do a 3554 03:06:10.239 --> 03:06:12.479 fucking dance routine and then whip somebody's ass in the 3555 03:06:12.520 --> 03:06:15.280 boxing ring and no one can question the dancing routine 3556 03:06:15.319 --> 03:06:16.479 because you whipped ass, you know. 3557 03:06:17.799 --> 03:06:23.479 But I don't know that's what it is. So what 3558 03:06:23.559 --> 03:06:23.959 do you want? 3559 03:06:25.680 --> 03:06:27.520 Jeff says The amount of time I spend thinking about 3560 03:06:27.520 --> 03:06:30.120 a case of Vienna sausages in exchange for an autograph picture, 3561 03:06:30.360 --> 03:06:31.159 That's all he writes. 3562 03:06:31.600 --> 03:06:34.440 It's so true. I can't I walk around thinking about 3563 03:06:34.440 --> 03:06:38.079 it all the time. Yeah, it's so weird because I 3564 03:06:38.159 --> 03:06:41.319 don't want, you know, I give my auto autograph picture. 3565 03:06:43.000 --> 03:06:47.000 I give myself an autograph picture. Let me tell you 3566 03:06:47.440 --> 03:06:50.520 what I did. Was I sent? I sent Saint Mary's Cathedral. 3567 03:06:51.159 --> 03:06:55.159 I said, I'm one hundred and fifty kens of Vienna Sausages. 3568 03:06:55.280 --> 03:07:04.760 And I set myself an autograph picture. I sent myself 3569 03:07:04.840 --> 03:07:08.040 an autograph picture. Is that what he said? I sent myself? 3570 03:07:11.559 --> 03:07:20.600 Now I set myself auto rap picture? What brother? I 3571 03:07:20.639 --> 03:07:24.239 didn't say anything?

Marv writes Vienna Sausages with Filipino breakfast 3583 03:08:27.319 --> 03:08:29.520 pretty good during a hangover. There you go, my god, 3584 03:08:30.040 --> 03:08:35.399 A vote for consuming it is it elis rights. Having 3585 03:08:35.440 --> 03:08:37.280 the SID tribute so close to the Terry Funk tribute 3586 03:08:37.360 --> 03:08:39.920 is so serendipitous. Both sides of the coin of being 3587 03:08:39.920 --> 03:08:41.840 a pro wrestler, one guy who gave everything he had 3588 03:08:41.879 --> 03:08:43.280 to the business, one who took as much as he 3589 03:08:43.319 --> 03:08:45.760 could from it while doing almost the absolute least he could. 3590 03:08:45.840 --> 03:08:48.920 Both equally carny in their own way. Yeah, he gave everything. 3591 03:08:49.159 --> 03:08:50.879 Terry Funk gave everything he had to the business, but 3592 03:08:51.000 --> 03:08:54.159 he was very smart about not letting it take advantage 3593 03:08:54.159 --> 03:08:58.040 of him. Sid was the SID took that to the extreme. 3594 03:08:58.120 --> 03:09:00.559 But they were actually kind of kindred spirit in that way. 3595 03:09:02.280 --> 03:09:05.040 They took off, you know, Sid and Funk no matter 3596 03:09:05.079 --> 03:09:07.319 how big the opportunity, they were looking for a way 3597 03:09:07.360 --> 03:09:11.840 out as soon as they got there. Louis writes, Hey, guys, 3598 03:09:11.879 --> 03:09:13.239 I wouldn't say I had much of an opinion one 3599 03:09:13.239 --> 03:09:14.719 way or the other on Sid. He's just kind of there. 3600 03:09:14.920 --> 03:09:16.879 But for whatever reason, your Tribute to Sid episodes have 3601 03:09:16.959 --> 03:09:19.360 brought about this warm nostalgia for Sid and the nineteen 3602 03:09:19.399 --> 03:09:21.879 ninety seven WWA product in general. Despite not living through 3603 03:09:21.920 --> 03:09:24.239 this period as a fan anyways, the series has been 3604 03:09:24.280 --> 03:09:26.520 some of your best work. Finished strong, and we're watching 3605 03:09:26.559 --> 03:09:27.920 some of the pay per views of that era and 3606 03:09:28.479 --> 03:09:30.520 re listening to your nineteen ninety seven journey In between 3607 03:09:30.520 --> 03:09:32.600 the SID Tribute casts My thoughts have gone on a 3608 03:09:32.680 --> 03:09:35.520 wild tangent imagining what might have happened if Sid struck 3609 03:09:35.559 --> 03:09:37.799 around a little longer into the Attitude era. Would love 3610 03:09:37.840 --> 03:09:39.559 to get your thoughts on what you picture it being 3611 03:09:39.680 --> 03:09:41.799 like if Sid was amongst that early ninety eight boom 3612 03:09:42.000 --> 03:09:45.239 an Austin versus Sid program. Sid was the higher power, 3613 03:09:45.760 --> 03:09:47.959 or fuck put him in the nation of domination. One 3614 03:09:48.040 --> 03:09:50.920 fantasy that did occur was old school brown outfit mankind 3615 03:09:51.000 --> 03:09:53.079 teaming with Sid, who would lean far more into his 3616 03:09:53.120 --> 03:09:56.159 psycho gimmick. Somehow this would have been This would have 3617 03:09:56.239 --> 03:09:59.559 to be money. Maybe Sid could switch to brown trunks too. 3618 03:10:00.399 --> 03:10:02.600 Oh god, I suppose he could find those trunks from 3619 03:10:02.600 --> 03:10:04.840 where he had a poopoo explosion at WrestleMania a few 3620 03:10:04.879 --> 03:10:07.200 months promer. Anyway, all the butt stuff, et cetera, Louis, 3621 03:10:07.360 --> 03:10:08.600 how about that boss Sid? 3622 03:10:09.280 --> 03:10:11.680 Anyway, all the butt stuff that's the best. 3623 03:10:11.760 --> 03:10:14.479 Gets it way out of the way. How about Sid 3624 03:10:14.639 --> 03:10:15.399 in the Attitude era. 3625 03:10:17.520 --> 03:10:20.159 I just don't think. I think I don't think he 3626 03:10:20.159 --> 03:10:23.040 would have fit. Really, I just I think it was 3627 03:10:23.120 --> 03:10:27.159 too I think it was too manic. I think it 3628 03:10:27.360 --> 03:10:32.680 was too ball to the wall. I just don't think 3629 03:10:32.799 --> 03:10:35.239 he would have fit into that. I think I think 3630 03:10:35.319 --> 03:10:40.520 he's a good segue into it. I just don't think 3631 03:10:40.639 --> 03:10:46.040 he would have. I mean, I I don't know how 3632 03:10:46.079 --> 03:10:49.479 I feel about and like you know, and especially at 3633 03:10:49.520 --> 03:10:54.239 that time, he he just was not a good promoes 3634 03:10:54.680 --> 03:10:56.040 Like you know, you look at you look at some 3635 03:10:56.079 --> 03:10:59.520 of the earlier stuff, and you know, like that ninety 3636 03:10:59.559 --> 03:11:02.479 two run, he's he's not making silly shit at all, 3637 03:11:02.600 --> 03:11:08.840 like he's making sense, and by ninety six he's he's it's, it's, 3638 03:11:09.079 --> 03:11:14.120 it's he's fallen down the road. Yes, And uh, I 3639 03:11:14.200 --> 03:11:17.079 don't know, I don't know, I don't I don't know 3640 03:11:17.280 --> 03:11:21.280 if I just I don't I don't know if he 3641 03:11:21.319 --> 03:11:22.799 would have really fit. I don't know if he would 3642 03:11:22.799 --> 03:11:24.159 have been a good compliment to it. 3643 03:11:24.600 --> 03:11:27.200 Yeah, I think you're right. There's a lot there's a 3644 03:11:27.280 --> 03:11:32.600 lot more acting and being handed a script in the 3645 03:11:32.639 --> 03:11:34.760 Attitude era than Sid would have been comfortable with. 3646 03:11:34.879 --> 03:11:37.840 I think, I think, I mean, I also think too, 3647 03:11:37.959 --> 03:11:40.000 I think you know, Sid in the Attitude era is 3648 03:11:40.920 --> 03:11:43.000 what we saw in W CW. I don't think he 3649 03:11:43.040 --> 03:11:46.239 would have you know, I think he would have been 3650 03:11:47.440 --> 03:11:58.200 exposed more because everything was so uh, I mean, uh, 3651 03:11:59.120 --> 03:12:01.319 it just it just felt so much more like just 3652 03:12:01.520 --> 03:12:03.600 throwing shit against the wall and seeing what happens, see 3653 03:12:03.600 --> 03:12:04.000 what sticks. 3654 03:12:04.040 --> 03:12:06.200 And I honestly could see Russo looking at Sid in 3655 03:12:06.520 --> 03:12:09.479 ninety eight WWF or ninety nine WWF and just like 3656 03:12:09.559 --> 03:12:14.120 coming up with some really stupid, like goofy like comedy 3657 03:12:14.159 --> 03:12:15.520 sne make like a priest or something. 3658 03:12:16.120 --> 03:12:16.319 Yeah. 3659 03:12:16.319 --> 03:12:17.920 I don't know if you get a whole rapackaging, but 3660 03:12:18.680 --> 03:12:21.399 he would lean into the kind of things that make 3661 03:12:21.440 --> 03:12:25.719 Sid ludicrous to the point where I don't think he'd 3662 03:12:25.719 --> 03:12:29.159 be a very effective, like world title challenging opponent in 3663 03:12:29.239 --> 03:12:31.799 that structure. I think he would very easily, very quickly 3664 03:12:31.879 --> 03:12:33.680 go from like what gold dust was in ninety five 3665 03:12:33.760 --> 03:12:35.639 to what gold dust was in ninety eight, you know, 3666 03:12:35.840 --> 03:12:40.440 just like totally totally turning up the aspects of the 3667 03:12:40.479 --> 03:12:45.920 gimmick that are much better when subtly and minimally deployed 3668 03:12:46.200 --> 03:12:49.360 and exposed, and just like cranking it up to where 3669 03:12:49.360 --> 03:12:53.360 he'd probably he'd probably do some like incredibly cheesy thing 3670 03:12:53.399 --> 03:12:56.399 where like he killed someone in cold blood or you know, 3671 03:12:56.959 --> 03:12:59.159 or accidentally hit someone with a car because he's so 3672 03:12:59.280 --> 03:13:01.559 crazy or something. Right, it'd just be I don't know, 3673 03:13:01.959 --> 03:13:03.559 I think It would just call upon him to act 3674 03:13:03.600 --> 03:13:05.399 too much, is what I'm trying to say. And we 3675 03:13:05.559 --> 03:13:08.319 know from the sid journey that you cannot hand that manuscript, 3676 03:13:08.719 --> 03:13:11.079 not that he doesn't want to do, you can't. He 3677 03:13:11.079 --> 03:13:14.520 wouldn't be being capable of carrying those fifteen minute dogging 3678 03:13:14.600 --> 03:13:17.239 segments that was required to be a top guy in 3679 03:13:17.319 --> 03:13:20.920 that era. WWF Legion AOD, thank you very much for 3680 03:13:21.000 --> 03:13:23.440 the pledge. We appreciate the sport. Andrew Trudeau, we see you, 3681 03:13:23.520 --> 03:13:26.680 and thanks for bumping up what you send your co 3682 03:13:26.840 --> 03:13:33.120 chairman's way. Jack recognizes the very dangerous question, so what. 3683 03:13:33.280 --> 03:13:34.120 Is the kick? Carlo? 3684 03:13:34.200 --> 03:13:36.239 I have to tell you, I don't remember what that was. 3685 03:13:36.280 --> 03:13:38.239 I'm glad it's an important question, but I don't quite 3686 03:13:38.319 --> 03:13:40.680 remember what I referred to always hate that in them 3687 03:13:40.719 --> 03:13:41.520 feedback shows. 3688 03:13:41.879 --> 03:13:44.440 Yeah, maybe you can remind me. This one's from Josh Boss. 3689 03:13:44.440 --> 03:13:49.280 Why don't you share what Josh has to say? Right Josh, 3690 03:13:50.399 --> 03:13:53.200 Greetings from the Adirondacks. I'm hoping to get this in 3691 03:13:53.360 --> 03:13:55.840 by the Fall mail Bag twenty twenty four, but if not, 3692 03:13:56.000 --> 03:14:01.280 it's all good. Firstly, my dad is a huge lapsed 3693 03:14:01.319 --> 03:14:05.559 fan wow, or at least lapsed by proxies. It's actually 3694 03:14:05.639 --> 03:14:09.159 the second lapse thing he is. The first is a 3695 03:14:09.239 --> 03:14:13.600 lapsed Catholic. His priest was Irish like my father. When 3696 03:14:13.639 --> 03:14:16.239 they changed the priest with a Middle Eastern one who 3697 03:14:16.280 --> 03:14:22.000 spoke very broken English that he could not understand. However, 3698 03:14:22.159 --> 03:14:28.479 Dad played it like lapsed vince. I'm not being racist, truly, 3699 03:14:28.559 --> 03:14:31.600 he isn't. It's the whole body and bread thing. He 3700 03:14:31.840 --> 03:14:35.479 just couldn't believe saying magic words turns the water into 3701 03:14:35.559 --> 03:14:40.120 the body of Jesus, to which I told him I'd 3702 03:14:40.200 --> 03:14:43.559 rather not believe that every Sunday I'm eating over two 3703 03:14:43.639 --> 03:14:48.000 thousand year old Jesus jerky. He laughed, and I knew 3704 03:14:48.000 --> 03:14:50.959 at that point there were no sacred cows for him. 3705 03:14:51.639 --> 03:14:55.200 He could handle that fucking cast. My dad isn't like 3706 03:14:55.239 --> 03:14:58.159 a lot of the dads in the Lapse fan solar system. 3707 03:14:58.719 --> 03:15:01.520 I've been a fan since I was like four years old. 3708 03:15:01.760 --> 03:15:04.200 By the time Mains three came around, I knew it 3709 03:15:04.319 --> 03:15:08.200 wasn't real. It was predetermined. Since then, he's followed me 3710 03:15:08.360 --> 03:15:11.760 down the ringside rabbit hole in the in the ensuing 3711 03:15:11.879 --> 03:15:14.760 so far forty years being an Andrea fan, I broke 3712 03:15:14.879 --> 03:15:18.079 him in on an episode where laft Fins told Andre 3713 03:15:18.520 --> 03:15:21.319 to do some top rope move and called Andrea the Giant, 3714 03:15:21.680 --> 03:15:27.520 called him Andrea the Giant cunt. That one got me, 3715 03:15:30.639 --> 03:15:33.360 Andrea the Giant Cunt. He's been a fan ever since. 3716 03:15:34.360 --> 03:15:36.399 I've only gone to one wrestling event in my life. 3717 03:15:36.479 --> 03:15:39.000 It was a Monday night raw in Lake Placid, New York. 3718 03:15:39.280 --> 03:15:41.280 Lake Placid was home to the nineteen thirty two and 3719 03:15:41.360 --> 03:15:44.680 nineteen eighty Winter Olympics, in fifteen minutes from my hometown 3720 03:15:44.840 --> 03:15:51.639 of Saraenac. S Yeah, Saraenacy Lake Brother would this is 3721 03:15:51.719 --> 03:15:54.840 the raw? Amed Johnson turned on the on the Taker 3722 03:15:54.920 --> 03:15:57.799 and joined the nation. Oh you know who I was exciting? 3723 03:15:58.120 --> 03:16:04.840 You know well, said Sarahnac Undertaking. Yeah, damn it. As 3724 03:16:04.879 --> 03:16:06.360 soon as I came out of my mouth, I knew 3725 03:16:06.360 --> 03:16:08.719 you were going to get it. Well, you know mentioned 3726 03:16:08.799 --> 03:16:11.000 Undertaker right there for that. If he hadn't mentioned Undertaker, 3727 03:16:11.000 --> 03:16:12.639 I probably wouldn't have got it, wouldn't have got him. 3728 03:16:14.600 --> 03:16:17.559 It was exciting, even though the seats were way near 3729 03:16:17.600 --> 03:16:20.959 the back. Still I got to witness Pillman, Austin Taker, 3730 03:16:21.159 --> 03:16:25.920 gold Dust Heart Foundation all during the Attitude era. The 3731 03:16:26.000 --> 03:16:28.760 youth group I was I was with said we had 3732 03:16:28.840 --> 03:16:31.399 to go early, so I didn't get I didn't. I 3733 03:16:31.479 --> 03:16:33.159 didn't get to see the dark match at the end 3734 03:16:33.760 --> 03:16:38.840 one day. Like laps Jets Jesse, I went back. I'll 3735 03:16:38.879 --> 03:16:41.520 go back until then. I have you two and the 3736 03:16:41.559 --> 03:16:43.559 Solar System excellent. 3737 03:16:44.120 --> 03:16:49.159 Love it, great stuff, love that inspired Missive There Kaypo's 3738 03:16:49.200 --> 03:16:53.120 back and he's got an email entitled Sid to your 3739 03:16:53.159 --> 03:16:55.399 co chairs. First of all, I want to commend you 3740 03:16:55.440 --> 03:16:57.760 both for an amazing tribute Psycho Sid and his accomplishments 3741 03:16:57.799 --> 03:16:59.760 as well as blunders and pro wrestling. I wanted to 3742 03:16:59.799 --> 03:17:02.360 share my memories of Sid Udi. Hopefully the email isn't 3743 03:17:02.399 --> 03:17:05.360 too long. It's not started watching wrestling full time in 3744 03:17:05.440 --> 03:17:07.799 June of nineteen ninety eight, and it was strictly WCW 3745 03:17:07.920 --> 03:17:10.280 because my mom wouldn't let me watch WWF because of boobs. 3746 03:17:13.000 --> 03:17:13.399 But I knew. 3747 03:17:14.319 --> 03:17:16.159 But I knew of wrestling from my older cousins and 3748 03:17:16.200 --> 03:17:18.879 playing sn e s. They had WWF, Super WrestleMania, and 3749 03:17:18.920 --> 03:17:21.120 I always played a Sid Justice. Did you ever play 3750 03:17:21.239 --> 03:17:22.719 Sid Justice and Super WrestleMania? 3751 03:17:22.760 --> 03:17:27.120 Boss? I don't. I didn't have I didn't have a 3752 03:17:27.280 --> 03:17:31.280 Super Super Nintendo. Was he in Monday Night Raw or 3753 03:17:31.399 --> 03:17:34.120 Royal Rumble. No, he was gone by Oh my god, 3754 03:17:35.079 --> 03:17:36.399 that was my first time. I think the only one 3755 03:17:36.440 --> 03:17:39.520 he was in was it was the Super WrestleMania for SUPERNW. 3756 03:17:39.600 --> 03:17:41.280 Is gonna say it's it right? Was he in the 3757 03:17:42.479 --> 03:17:47.879 the nes Wrestling Challenge for the Cage? 3758 03:17:48.559 --> 03:17:51.360 No he was, Yeah, he was in Steel Cage Challenge 3759 03:17:51.680 --> 03:17:52.719 A challenge, Okay, yes he was. 3760 03:17:53.680 --> 03:17:55.799 When I got into wrestling, I rented every video that 3761 03:17:55.879 --> 03:17:58.399 my local Blockbuster had and saw Sid in various tapes. 3762 03:17:58.520 --> 03:18:00.000 He was in a couple of w W tapes they had, 3763 03:18:00.079 --> 03:18:02.040 and of course Rumble ninety two and WrestleMania eight, and 3764 03:18:02.120 --> 03:18:05.200 I acquired WrestleMania eleven nine, I think he says eleven 3765 03:18:05.479 --> 03:18:07.920 eleven from another video store. So I saw Sid there too. 3766 03:18:08.280 --> 03:18:10.760 Top that with buying a Wow magazine in early nineteen 3767 03:18:10.840 --> 03:18:12.799 ninety nine and there was a full page picture of 3768 03:18:12.920 --> 03:18:15.280 Sid from MECW. So Sid was always around, but I 3769 03:18:15.360 --> 03:18:16.920 never saw him wrestle live until he came back to 3770 03:18:17.079 --> 03:18:19.440 WCW in nineteen ninety nine. Now, and he came back, 3771 03:18:19.479 --> 03:18:20.840 I thought it was kind of a goof. He was 3772 03:18:20.920 --> 03:18:23.639 Randy Savage's lackey and probably the driver of the White Hummer. 3773 03:18:23.680 --> 03:18:26.280 But his match against Sting at Roadewild nineteen ninety nine 3774 03:18:26.360 --> 03:18:27.040 made me a believer. 3775 03:18:27.159 --> 03:18:27.719 Wow, there you go. 3776 03:18:28.360 --> 03:18:29.879 Sid thought that match was going to be a huge 3777 03:18:30.000 --> 03:18:32.000 career changer for him, going over Sting clean and no 3778 03:18:32.040 --> 03:18:32.719 one gave a fuck. 3779 03:18:32.879 --> 03:18:34.159 Pekai Bomer gave a fuck. 3780 03:18:34.399 --> 03:18:36.600 I still remember the finishing sequence, which has something about 3781 03:18:36.600 --> 03:18:38.719 its place in my wrestling memory. Sting hits a super 3782 03:18:38.760 --> 03:18:41.079 blacks on Sid and said just no. Selse gets back 3783 03:18:41.120 --> 03:18:43.079 to his feet, puts himself in the corner. Sting hits 3784 03:18:43.120 --> 03:18:45.360 two Stinger splashes, and when he goes for the third one, 3785 03:18:45.520 --> 03:18:47.120 Sid catches him with a goozle and give him a 3786 03:18:47.159 --> 03:18:48.159 choke slam and pins him clean. 3787 03:18:48.239 --> 03:18:48.360 Yes. 3788 03:18:48.399 --> 03:18:51.760 Pos, that was on the Millennium Man tape. Yes, I 3789 03:18:51.840 --> 03:18:54.079 remember Servanni just being in shock and as a Sting fan, 3790 03:18:54.399 --> 03:18:55.879 I couldn't believe it. I mean that was Sting he 3791 03:18:55.959 --> 03:18:56.600 beat decisively. 3792 03:18:56.680 --> 03:18:57.200 It was crazy. 3793 03:18:57.399 --> 03:18:59.120 I thought he ended up getting a raw deal, even 3794 03:18:59.159 --> 03:19:00.760 though he held the w state be titled for a bit. 3795 03:19:00.959 --> 03:19:02.760 Just seemed like he was there and never really showcase. 3796 03:19:02.840 --> 03:19:02.879 No. 3797 03:19:02.879 --> 03:19:05.959 A little bit of a nitro deal actues, which could 3798 03:19:06.000 --> 03:19:07.959 also be as fault as you guys expertly uncovered his 3799 03:19:08.000 --> 03:19:11.200 transgressions in the wrestling business throughout the years. Another thing 3800 03:19:11.239 --> 03:19:13.000 I remembered, based off some of the stores you Guys 3801 03:19:13.079 --> 03:19:16.319 Unearthed stories, rather you Guys unearthed, was that there was 3802 03:19:16.360 --> 03:19:19.760 a forgettable backstage segment from WCW Fallbrowl nineteen ninety eight 3803 03:19:19.920 --> 03:19:21.639 in which Scott Steiner is trying to get out of 3804 03:19:21.680 --> 03:19:24.079 a match with his brother Rick by feigning an injury. 3805 03:19:24.239 --> 03:19:25.879 He put a small band aid on the inside of 3806 03:19:25.920 --> 03:19:28.159 his bicep and another small band aid on the outside 3807 03:19:28.200 --> 03:19:30.079 of his bicep and said he couldn't wrestle Rick because 3808 03:19:30.079 --> 03:19:32.200 he was hurt. JJ Dillon didn't buy it and made 3809 03:19:32.239 --> 03:19:34.920 Scott wrestle his brother or be barred from WCW for life. 3810 03:19:35.079 --> 03:19:37.440 When you Guys mentioned the squeegee confrontation Sid had with 3811 03:19:37.559 --> 03:19:39.920 Mike Graham where he couldn't fight because of his injury 3812 03:19:39.959 --> 03:19:42.159 and the band aid on his arm, I immediately thought 3813 03:19:42.200 --> 03:19:44.440 of this segment, which was probably a rib on Sid. Yes, 3814 03:19:44.479 --> 03:19:47.719 I think we even touched on that. Yeah, it was definitely. 3815 03:19:48.079 --> 03:19:50.000 I think Mike Graham was an agent for ww at 3816 03:19:50.040 --> 03:19:52.200 the times, so that makes sense. One more story, but 3817 03:19:52.239 --> 03:19:53.799 this one was a little not safe for work. Okay, 3818 03:19:53.920 --> 03:19:55.159 let's do it, brother. 3819 03:19:55.280 --> 03:19:56.200 I had various tapes in. 3820 03:19:56.200 --> 03:19:58.600 My library that were paused at a certain time when 3821 03:19:58.639 --> 03:20:00.760 there was a bikini segment or something like that, I, 3822 03:20:00.840 --> 03:20:03.680 as a horny adolescent, could master bait two. One of 3823 03:20:03.719 --> 03:20:06.719 these tapes was WW hollywn Havoc nineteen ninety nine. At 3824 03:20:06.760 --> 03:20:09.040 this event, Medusa walks out in a bikini to promote 3825 03:20:09.040 --> 03:20:12.040 the WW Nitro cologne that Bobby Heenon describes as smelling 3826 03:20:12.159 --> 03:20:13.000 like the men's room at. 3827 03:20:12.959 --> 03:20:16.079 The Newark Airport. Well, hey, you know what happens. 3828 03:20:16.319 --> 03:20:20.760 Imagine being the cologne licensee and watching the WW show 3829 03:20:20.799 --> 03:20:23.360 to see her cologne advertise, and Bobby Heenon calls it that. 3830 03:20:24.040 --> 03:20:25.799 Yeah, imagine that would have been a little rough. 3831 03:20:25.879 --> 03:20:28.239 I would wank to Medusa walking out when and when 3832 03:20:28.280 --> 03:20:30.120 I was done, I'd rewind it to the beginning of 3833 03:20:30.159 --> 03:20:32.680 the segment for the next time. But sometimes I rewind 3834 03:20:32.760 --> 03:20:34.799 too much and get the segment right before, which was 3835 03:20:34.840 --> 03:20:38.280 Sidy yelling let it bleed after getting oh god, busted 3836 03:20:38.319 --> 03:20:40.879 open by Goldberg backstage. If the tape started there the 3837 03:20:40.959 --> 03:20:43.200 next time, it was an instant boner killer. 3838 03:20:43.399 --> 03:20:43.959 That's funny. 3839 03:20:44.559 --> 03:20:46.840 Yeah, I'd imagine that all the ways to remember that 3840 03:20:47.520 --> 03:20:50.959 infamous Cid Goldberg Halloween havoc. That's how Kayper remembers it. Anyway, 3841 03:20:50.959 --> 03:20:52.559 thank you guys for all you do. I'll have another 3842 03:20:52.600 --> 03:20:54.920 emailk qued up based in the fiftieth Big State Time 3843 03:20:55.319 --> 03:20:57.479 fiftieth State Big Time Wrestling, But this one is all 3844 03:20:57.479 --> 03:20:59.280 about the Master and the ruler of the world when 3845 03:20:59.319 --> 03:21:02.719 we look forward to them. Such a great wrestling history 3846 03:21:02.719 --> 03:21:08.399 and tradition in Hawaii. Undertold, undertold for sure. Yeah, so 3847 03:21:08.479 --> 03:21:11.159 Clint points out a good one. We were wondering why 3848 03:21:12.000 --> 03:21:14.639 Arne would settle his lawsuit against sid for the stabbing 3849 03:21:14.959 --> 03:21:17.799 all those years later in nineteen ninety seven. Yeah, so, 3850 03:21:17.920 --> 03:21:19.360 if you think about it, arn was just a few 3851 03:21:19.360 --> 03:21:22.000 months away from announcing his retirement when the lawsuit was settled. 3852 03:21:22.280 --> 03:21:23.719 I think he and his wife just had a second 3853 03:21:23.760 --> 03:21:26.079 baby too. I remember him talking about the anxiety he 3854 03:21:26.120 --> 03:21:28.000 was feeling about having to be retired with the two kids. 3855 03:21:28.200 --> 03:21:30.399 He wasn't even forty yet. Maybe he saw his financial 3856 03:21:30.399 --> 03:21:32.639 situation was changing and realized the lawsuit wasn't the best 3857 03:21:32.680 --> 03:21:34.399 thing to spend his money on. It's a good guess, 3858 03:21:34.959 --> 03:21:36.760 really good guess. If he'd say a word about it, 3859 03:21:36.840 --> 03:21:39.719 we would know for sure. But he doesn't, so that's that. 3860 03:21:39.879 --> 03:21:41.559 Josh Beckham, thank you very much for the pledge. We 3861 03:21:41.600 --> 03:21:46.600 appreciate the support. Mark Beer, thank you very much. Steve writes, 3862 03:21:46.639 --> 03:21:48.360 I wonder if what Vince loved most about the CID 3863 03:21:48.440 --> 03:21:51.040 stabbing is that arn Anderson left Vince for Turner and 3864 03:21:51.159 --> 03:21:56.559 his punishment was being stabbed. Also, Boss would love Fantagio. 3865 03:21:56.680 --> 03:21:59.000 That was the wrestler who was the magician we talked 3866 03:21:59.040 --> 03:22:03.360 briefly about during his WF tryout. His liquid flames set 3867 03:22:03.520 --> 03:22:06.239 the gorilla position to blaze and almost burnt Bruce Pritchard 3868 03:22:06.280 --> 03:22:08.319 to death in the process. Yes, I have heard Bruce 3869 03:22:08.399 --> 03:22:11.799 tell that story on his podcast, which is fucking hilarious. 3870 03:22:12.760 --> 03:22:16.360 So close did Tom sellek like a pervert on Friends? 3871 03:22:16.399 --> 03:22:21.120 He thinks he did, Sean Wright Sid being Yeah, I 3872 03:22:21.159 --> 03:22:23.200 don't remember Sid being a salesman as the real life 3873 03:22:23.200 --> 03:22:25.239 equivalent of the coin toss scene from No Country for 3874 03:22:25.319 --> 03:22:31.319 Old Men, Zach writes, twenty five minute, Mark Jack spoke 3875 03:22:31.360 --> 03:22:33.840 words that were pulled from my deepest, deepest truth. I 3876 03:22:33.959 --> 03:22:36.639 watch movies, TV shows, read books and magazines from the 3877 03:22:36.680 --> 03:22:39.000 seventies through mid nineties because I wish I was my 3878 03:22:39.200 --> 03:22:42.280 age during those times not a kid my age. I 3879 03:22:42.319 --> 03:22:44.840 could drive those cars brand new. I could be in 3880 03:22:44.920 --> 03:22:46.799 my current job at in a time with no fucking 3881 03:22:46.840 --> 03:22:48.639 internet or cell phones. I could eat all the food 3882 03:22:48.879 --> 03:22:50.799 without the constant kilt and doubt of how bad it 3883 03:22:50.879 --> 03:22:51.159 all is. 3884 03:22:51.479 --> 03:22:51.920 Subpoint. 3885 03:22:52.000 --> 03:22:54.159 I know McDonald's is shitty food, but damn do I 3886 03:22:54.200 --> 03:22:56.399 miss a time when you could go to McDonald's or gasp, 3887 03:22:56.639 --> 03:22:59.159 take your child there and not seem like your low 3888 03:22:59.239 --> 03:23:02.360 brow or being a negligent to your and their health. 3889 03:23:02.879 --> 03:23:04.959 I could go to every Monday Night Ron nineteen ninety three. 3890 03:23:05.280 --> 03:23:07.399 I would be at every classic pay per view. There 3891 03:23:07.399 --> 03:23:09.959 are thousands of scenes and images from those movies and 3892 03:23:10.000 --> 03:23:12.559 shows I just want to teleport into, most of which 3893 03:23:12.600 --> 03:23:15.280 are mundane. Sure, there are lots of great things about now, 3894 03:23:15.360 --> 03:23:17.200 but damn does it look like it used to be better? 3895 03:23:17.639 --> 03:23:19.559 That is the point. I don't know. 3896 03:23:19.719 --> 03:23:22.239 It's not because I want to be young again, It's 3897 03:23:22.319 --> 03:23:27.440 because I want to be an adult. Then looks like, Yes, 3898 03:23:27.719 --> 03:23:30.319 it looks like a great fucking deal without all the 3899 03:23:30.399 --> 03:23:34.360 bullshit on fire highlights. Thank you very much for your pledge, 3900 03:23:34.440 --> 03:23:40.280 Brian Wright. Welcome into the inner circle. Yeah that's true. 3901 03:23:40.319 --> 03:23:40.920 This is a great one. 3902 03:23:40.959 --> 03:23:41.479 From Habib. 3903 03:23:41.719 --> 03:23:44.840 Honestly, what's missing in the Muffler discussion on the Greed 3904 03:23:44.920 --> 03:23:47.760 pay per view episode Muffler is when you stick toilet 3905 03:23:47.799 --> 03:23:49.680 paper up your ass crack and go out for wrestle 3906 03:23:50.200 --> 03:23:53.399 so that you don't leak ass sweat through your trunks 3907 03:23:53.440 --> 03:23:53.959 like Dusty. 3908 03:23:54.600 --> 03:23:56.079 I don't see what the problem is. Talk about how 3909 03:23:56.120 --> 03:24:00.600 Dusty wrestled with no underwear on genes. 3910 03:24:00.719 --> 03:24:05.200 Agreed, but how he points out. What's being missed in 3911 03:24:05.280 --> 03:24:08.479 this discussion is the need to have wide adoption of bedets. 3912 03:24:08.840 --> 03:24:12.559 Boss. What's your experience with bidets? If any o them? 3913 03:24:12.639 --> 03:24:16.200 Oh saw stream up the ass, love it? If there's 3914 03:24:16.239 --> 03:24:20.719 one hotel you're using it. I I listen, we have 3915 03:24:21.000 --> 03:24:22.760 we we you know we got we got a tushy. 3916 03:24:22.879 --> 03:24:25.280 You know what I didn't know? Oh my god. Yeah, 3917 03:24:25.479 --> 03:24:28.360 it's like basically a you can you know, it's not 3918 03:24:28.440 --> 03:24:30.920 like a full blown but you can just install it 3919 03:24:30.959 --> 03:24:37.239 in your own toilet and it's absolutely remarkable. I can't listen, Honestly, 3920 03:24:37.840 --> 03:24:39.200 I can't take a ship with that one. 3921 03:24:39.239 --> 03:24:39.719 Now. Wow. 3922 03:24:40.319 --> 03:24:43.440 I just I don't feel I don't feel clean. I 3923 03:24:43.559 --> 03:24:47.399 do not feel clean. I was very wary of it 3924 03:24:47.440 --> 03:24:48.680 when we got it. I was like, I don't know. 3925 03:24:48.840 --> 03:24:51.920 I don't think I need I want something kind of 3926 03:24:52.719 --> 03:24:59.760 spraying up my anus. But but it is a very 3927 03:24:59.799 --> 03:25:05.200 se satisfying thing. I did not I did not know 3928 03:25:05.319 --> 03:25:07.600 that was coming. I really I think you could tell 3929 03:25:07.680 --> 03:25:10.079 like one story when you stayed in Belgium about how 3930 03:25:10.120 --> 03:25:13.200 you used to use it. Now, No, I mean I'd 3931 03:25:13.239 --> 03:25:15.360 never use one until we got until we got the one, 3932 03:25:15.760 --> 03:25:19.120 uh in our in our bathroom, I'd never use one before. 3933 03:25:19.280 --> 03:25:23.799 Amazing, So highest recommendation then, absolutely. Do you just should 3934 03:25:23.799 --> 03:25:25.879 it right up your asshole? Or do you like go 3935 03:25:26.079 --> 03:25:26.719 back and forth? 3936 03:25:27.120 --> 03:25:27.280 Oh? 3937 03:25:27.360 --> 03:25:29.120 I do it back and forth. I do a little 3938 03:25:29.159 --> 03:25:33.079 rocking thing like I'm just a commentary. He was rocking. 3939 03:25:33.159 --> 03:25:36.719 I saw a few angles he was doing. It still 3940 03:25:36.799 --> 03:25:41.040 does not amazing, but points out the Western world is 3941 03:25:41.079 --> 03:25:43.280 no doubt superior to the Middle East with this one exception. 3942 03:25:43.600 --> 03:25:46.040 Post defication, care is no laughing matter. One thing I 3943 03:25:46.159 --> 03:25:48.000 noticed when I came back from a rock is how 3944 03:25:48.040 --> 03:25:50.840 some people here smell like shit, sometimes not a euphemism, 3945 03:25:51.159 --> 03:25:53.840 like actual shit. It occurred to me that there were 3946 03:25:53.959 --> 03:25:57.079 legions of us walking around with dookie in our ass needlessly. 3947 03:25:57.239 --> 03:26:00.440 It's a simple fix. Call me a Bidet evangelist. 3948 03:26:00.799 --> 03:26:03.559 M it's a wonderful thing. It's amazing. 3949 03:26:04.040 --> 03:26:06.959 Yeah, there cleaner asses in other parts of the world. 3950 03:26:07.040 --> 03:26:08.479 That yeah, embrace that. 3951 03:26:10.319 --> 03:26:10.840 Faine rights. 3952 03:26:10.879 --> 03:26:14.559 I got a side with Sid against Arno. Sid has 3953 03:26:14.600 --> 03:26:16.399 probably gone off those somas and had some of that 3954 03:26:16.559 --> 03:26:18.680 stella the wife beater in him. Arn has always been 3955 03:26:18.719 --> 03:26:20.440 one of those guys that's never the bride but always 3956 03:26:20.440 --> 03:26:22.520 the bridesmaid, and Eric pulling some dumb shit to get 3957 03:26:22.559 --> 03:26:24.920 sit out because they didn't want to pay him pretty much. 3958 03:26:25.040 --> 03:26:28.760 Cements it that there was a lot more to the story. Yeah, yeah, 3959 03:26:28.760 --> 03:26:31.159 that's true. They were trying to figure out contractual terms 3960 03:26:31.200 --> 03:26:33.319 after this happened. They were not trying to fire Sid. 3961 03:26:33.600 --> 03:26:36.520 I think that's what sure that we established and Fane 3962 03:26:36.600 --> 03:26:40.239 comes down strong on one side, on popular side, but 3963 03:26:40.799 --> 03:26:43.040 one side nonetheless. Rich Molton, thank you very much for 3964 03:26:43.120 --> 03:26:44.879 your pledge. Quick to have you in the solar system. 3965 03:26:44.959 --> 03:26:48.159 De Wu, thank you very much for the cake.

William wonders, what if Vader 3970 03:27:05.840 --> 03:27:08.639 just grabs Scorpio's hash brick and shoved it into his mouth? 3971 03:27:08.760 --> 03:27:12.639 No questions, asked Scorpio, This hash tastes like fucking shit, 3972 03:27:12.680 --> 03:27:15.639 where's the corn beef? Two cold? Just sits there mouth Agate. 3973 03:27:15.760 --> 03:27:18.040 Vader choose and choose. That's how he ends up at 3974 03:27:18.040 --> 03:27:19.079 his underwear in the lobby. 3975 03:27:20.040 --> 03:27:21.840 I think that's totally fine. Yeah, I'm kind of with 3976 03:27:21.920 --> 03:27:22.120 all that. 3977 03:27:22.239 --> 03:27:30.000 Actually, yeah, okay, let's see, this is taking us back. 3978 03:27:30.079 --> 03:27:33.360 I think to the inn where it all happened. Right, 3979 03:27:34.959 --> 03:27:37.200 you have many things, he writes, interesting lapsed connection for 3980 03:27:37.239 --> 03:27:40.399 Antonina Roca. He apparently introduced Lenny Montana to the mobsters 3981 03:27:40.440 --> 03:27:42.719 that would get him involved in organized crime, as Rocca 3982 03:27:42.799 --> 03:27:46.079 was a dining guest with various mafia members. The mob 3983 03:27:46.159 --> 03:27:48.639 loved rubbing shoulders with Italian American athletes in New York, 3984 03:27:48.760 --> 03:27:51.360 even if they were frauds. Yes, that was always something 3985 03:27:51.479 --> 03:27:54.559 Bruno was very sensitive about, these dinners that he would 3986 03:27:55.200 --> 03:27:57.280 that he would be able to go to after the matches. 3987 03:27:57.319 --> 03:28:00.319 Absolute in the north end of the little mind. Yeah, 3988 03:28:00.360 --> 03:28:06.639 I think we know what's going on there, we know absolutely. Yeah, 3989 03:28:06.799 --> 03:28:10.520 So the stabbing in England the hotel that the stabbing 3990 03:28:10.559 --> 03:28:13.399 happened in. Stephen writes, what's never discussed and considered? It 3991 03:28:13.520 --> 03:28:15.719 was the early nineties. Has it ever been considered this 3992 03:28:15.840 --> 03:28:18.200 was a family run establishment who had to suffer Carney's 3993 03:28:18.200 --> 03:28:21.120 stabbing each other and wandering around and only underpants, screaming 3994 03:28:21.159 --> 03:28:24.360 for food, possibly mere feet from their own private quarters. Yeah, 3995 03:28:24.360 --> 03:28:30.719 I didn't really consider the regular guests during all this, Jason, 3996 03:28:30.920 --> 03:28:33.040 Why doesn't anyone ever cover the second near murder that 3997 03:28:33.079 --> 03:28:35.559 happened during that fateful night in England? After the Arnsid 3998 03:28:35.680 --> 03:28:37.680 stabbing match ended and people were taken to the hospital 3999 03:28:37.760 --> 03:28:39.799 to cold, Scorpio told Vader he could come up to 4000 03:28:39.840 --> 03:28:42.239 my room to finish this hash if he wanted, since 4001 03:28:42.280 --> 03:28:44.239 it was such a stressful night. Vader goes up and 4002 03:28:44.280 --> 03:28:47.200 flies into a rage. Where's the hash? Scorpio's like, here 4003 03:28:47.319 --> 03:28:49.399 hit this. Vader didn't want a joint. He wanted hash 4004 03:28:49.520 --> 03:28:50.120 corn beef and. 4005 03:28:50.200 --> 03:28:53.920 Hash smart, very exactly different kind of hash. That's what 4006 03:28:54.040 --> 03:28:54.360 he wants. 4007 03:28:54.360 --> 03:28:56.520 They had a knockdown, drag down brawl until other wrestlers 4008 03:28:56.520 --> 03:29:03.000 could lure Vader away with a Mars Barken just like 4009 03:29:03.159 --> 03:29:06.200 leading him by the note Jake Connark thank you very 4010 03:29:06.239 --> 03:29:09.600 much for the pledge.

So 4019 03:29:25.319 --> 03:29:27.319 I'm glad I didn't miss anything, because I really would 4020 03:29:27.440 --> 03:29:31.159 like to know one one emotion Arnt has thinking back 4021 03:29:31.239 --> 03:29:31.680 on that day. 4022 03:29:31.799 --> 03:29:34.440 But I know, could you just get one, Just give 4023 03:29:34.520 --> 03:29:40.520 me one fucking reaction there absolutely nothing, no, no, no, 4024 03:29:42.799 --> 03:29:44.200 I will not.

I 4029 03:29:59.280 --> 03:30:01.360 mostly just want to do my job with mental interference 4030 03:30:01.440 --> 03:30:04.159 to your jobs. I'm fine. Oh, I think he's talking 4031 03:30:04.159 --> 03:30:08.200 about Okay, we talk about waffle House, as we always do. 4032 03:30:08.360 --> 03:30:11.040 Waffle House always comes up, of course. William Wrights, gentlemen, 4033 03:30:11.040 --> 03:30:12.799 I would like to share something. I work as an 4034 03:30:12.799 --> 03:30:15.000 overnight department manager at a grocery store and we share 4035 03:30:15.000 --> 03:30:17.200 a parking lot with waffle house. As far as waffle 4036 03:30:17.239 --> 03:30:21.719 houses go, I guess it's very good. With plea, I 4037 03:30:21.760 --> 03:30:24.040 guess it's very good. Police only showing up once or 4038 03:30:24.079 --> 03:30:26.239 twice a night. We have vendors who come in during 4039 03:30:26.280 --> 03:30:27.959 my shift and I have to check them in since 4040 03:30:28.000 --> 03:30:30.200 the doors are locked. After closing, the vendors will tap 4041 03:30:30.239 --> 03:30:32.159 on the glass with their keys to alert us. Thanks 4042 03:30:32.200 --> 03:30:33.920 to that cast, which I listen to every night, I 4043 03:30:34.000 --> 03:30:36.520 have this fever dream about wrestlers coming to the door 4044 03:30:36.559 --> 03:30:39.280 and tapping, but with a fork instead of keys. Often 4045 03:30:39.319 --> 03:30:42.520 it's John Tenta. However, after this it's definitely Vader, who 4046 03:30:42.520 --> 03:30:45.079 has cleaned out the waffle house, but he isn't satisfied. 4047 03:30:45.440 --> 03:30:50.120 Let men, I know you've got waffles in there. To me, 4048 03:30:50.319 --> 03:30:52.559 I'm still hungry. I'll lead him frozen. I don't care 4049 03:30:52.639 --> 03:30:55.559 give you waffles. He sees a pallette of eggoes and 4050 03:30:56.079 --> 03:30:59.639 just charges at it. Yeah, splashes into it, smashing them, 4051 03:30:59.680 --> 03:31:05.920 eating the box, smashing open cases about cases of breakfast goods, 4052 03:31:05.959 --> 03:31:09.760 and stuffing his face with the frozen, crumbly tetritus. 4053 03:31:10.680 --> 03:31:13.680 Yep, yep, I'm not a great box. It's all real, 4054 03:31:15.360 --> 03:31:17.479 it's all real. Oh, my god, I can see it. 4055 03:31:17.559 --> 03:31:18.239 I can see it now. 4056 03:31:18.360 --> 03:31:21.079 He paints such a vivid picture. Scott Arnold.

Corey in Winnipeg answers our question, 4080 03:32:46.840 --> 03:32:49.639 who's the first bad guy you cheered for? Remember we 4081 03:32:49.719 --> 03:32:52.159 talked about that along the way first bad guy you 4082 03:32:52.280 --> 03:32:54.440 cheered for? Conversation. He writes to be very different from me. 4083 03:32:54.680 --> 03:32:56.479 I'm sure I must have at one pointment pulling for 4084 03:32:56.479 --> 03:32:58.520 a heel earlier than this, but at nineteen eighty six 4085 03:32:58.719 --> 03:33:00.840 was the year I remember mainly che to cheering for 4086 03:33:00.959 --> 03:33:04.239 heels Orndorf, Savage and Jake on TV plus the Horsemen 4087 03:33:04.280 --> 03:33:06.959 through magazines. Sid's ara and reactions were among the best 4088 03:33:07.000 --> 03:33:08.879 in the business, even if his ring skills can't match 4089 03:33:08.959 --> 03:33:10.559 up to them. Yeah, we were talking about how Sid 4090 03:33:10.639 --> 03:33:13.360 got those huge reactions in eighty nine despite never being 4091 03:33:13.719 --> 03:33:19.200 presented anything close to a babyface in NBA, and so yeah, 4092 03:33:19.280 --> 03:33:21.040 I can see that there were definitely there was definitely 4093 03:33:21.040 --> 03:33:23.799 an undercurrent during the Rock and wrestling era of cheering 4094 03:33:23.879 --> 03:33:26.959 for the heels, no question, like if you Paul Ardroff 4095 03:33:26.959 --> 03:33:29.159 would get huge reactions. People were so ready to cheer 4096 03:33:29.239 --> 03:33:31.280 for him when they were allowed to in eighty six 4097 03:33:32.079 --> 03:33:34.239 because even during his run with Hogan in some towns 4098 03:33:34.280 --> 03:33:36.959 he would get huge reactions. And Randy Savage, he was 4099 03:33:37.000 --> 03:33:40.079 just too fucking amazing in the ring, you know, yep, yeah, 4100 03:33:40.120 --> 03:33:41.840 I hate a guy that double access to the floor 4101 03:33:42.000 --> 03:33:45.639 like that for very long. Chris turg l Fierira, thank 4102 03:33:45.680 --> 03:33:49.239 you very much for the pledge and welcome into our 4103 03:33:49.319 --> 03:33:49.959 inner circle. 4104 03:33:50.079 --> 03:33:50.360 Boss. 4105 03:33:50.399 --> 03:33:55.319 Hear something Charles from Albany's Schenectady and he was at 4106 03:33:55.319 --> 03:33:56.200 the ninety two rumble. 4107 03:33:56.280 --> 03:33:56.920 He wants us to know. 4108 03:33:57.079 --> 03:34:00.159 Which is fucking I can imagine having been there or 4109 03:34:00.200 --> 03:34:05.319 what that was like. But here's the uh, here's the words. 4110 03:34:06.120 --> 03:34:09.680 All right, dear co chairman, It's time. After all these 4111 03:34:09.799 --> 03:34:12.639 years of lurking in the shadows of my guilt, never 4112 03:34:12.799 --> 03:34:15.520 sending an email, never acknowledging me on a holy impact 4113 03:34:15.600 --> 03:34:17.799 you've had in my life, I figured it's about time 4114 03:34:18.559 --> 03:34:22.000 I broke the silence. I've been listening since day one 4115 03:34:22.079 --> 03:34:28.200 on Wrestle Zone. Yes, that horrendous media player experience. We're 4116 03:34:28.280 --> 03:34:30.719 just getting through. One episode felt like a sixty minute 4117 03:34:30.760 --> 03:34:34.000 iron Man match with dial up internet, back when we 4118 03:34:34.079 --> 03:34:37.120 had to fight for our hashtag shelf life content before 4119 03:34:37.159 --> 03:34:41.479 it was cool. But here's the thing, despite your relentless 4120 03:34:41.520 --> 03:34:44.319 and soul piercing demands for Patreon dollars, I mean, after all, 4121 03:34:44.440 --> 03:34:48.680 you deserve it. I've never sent a dime, not one 4122 03:34:48.920 --> 03:34:52.959 red scent. And do I feel bad? Of course not? Why, because, gentlemen, 4123 03:34:52.959 --> 03:34:56.520 I'm a heel, a terrible person, really, the kind of 4124 03:34:56.600 --> 03:35:01.440 person who consumed without giving. In each new watching my 4125 03:35:01.639 --> 03:35:05.440 wallets like it's the last time Triple h held on 4126 03:35:05.600 --> 03:35:09.760 to the title. I don't intend to give either. Not 4127 03:35:09.879 --> 03:35:13.600 because you don't deserve it, you absolutely do, but because well, 4128 03:35:15.719 --> 03:35:20.360 we can't all be heroes, and I'm like Brett, I 4129 03:35:20.399 --> 03:35:24.000 don't want to be. Now, let's talk about the more 4130 03:35:24.959 --> 03:35:27.719 intimate side of this relationship. It's hard to find words 4131 03:35:27.799 --> 03:35:31.520 to describe the experience of having my rectum forcibly penetrated 4132 03:35:31.600 --> 03:35:35.719 by each episode. Stretched doesn't quite cover it. It's more 4133 03:35:35.840 --> 03:35:44.399 like a deep spiritual rearrangement, as if each well placed dig, 4134 03:35:44.639 --> 03:35:49.520 each impersonation, each harrowing collection of the business shreds the 4135 03:35:49.719 --> 03:35:53.680 very fabric of my soul like an unholy body slam 4136 03:35:53.840 --> 03:35:57.079 to my coloness. That makes me ask myself, what am 4137 03:35:57.079 --> 03:35:59.920 I doing with my life? Why do I keep coming 4138 03:36:00.239 --> 03:36:03.399 back for more? Well you know the answer. It's because 4139 03:36:03.600 --> 03:36:07.920 I need it? And why? Now you ask what could 4140 03:36:08.040 --> 03:36:11.239 possibly prompt this email? After all these years of silence. 4141 03:36:11.280 --> 03:36:12.959 I was re listening to your back last two thousand 4142 03:36:12.959 --> 03:36:16.840 and four episode because yes, your podcast has hashtag shelf life, 4143 03:36:17.000 --> 03:36:21.360 and it hit me this was the final push I needed. Yep? 4144 03:36:22.639 --> 03:36:25.479 Was this the birth of the lapse editor? The moment 4145 03:36:25.520 --> 03:36:29.680 when that character, the epitome of editorial disdain was conjured 4146 03:36:29.719 --> 03:36:32.639 from the depths of your collective minds? If so, bravo. 4147 03:36:33.559 --> 03:36:35.559 I'll pay for that kind of genius, but we've already 4148 03:36:35.639 --> 03:36:39.639 established I'm not going to do that. Right, keep doing 4149 03:36:39.719 --> 03:36:43.159 what you do. I'll keep not paying but needing every 4150 03:36:43.239 --> 03:36:52.000 SICI anally wrecked listener. That's funny. I like that he was. 4151 03:36:53.520 --> 03:36:57.600 It is grappling with quite a bit, there wasn't he. Indeed, 4152 03:36:57.719 --> 03:36:59.680 you know what, Brian Blake wasn't grappling with what to 4153 03:36:59.719 --> 03:37:01.799 do with the face of the Vienna stuff. We we 4154 03:37:01.959 --> 03:37:04.399 failed to mention this, but he sent us a receipt 4155 03:37:04.879 --> 03:37:08.159 delivered September twenty fifth to the receptionist or someone at 4156 03:37:08.159 --> 03:37:11.680 the front desk of Saint Mary's Episcopal in Memphis, was 4157 03:37:11.719 --> 03:37:15.600 a can of armor Vienna sausage smoked. Wow, he sent it, 4158 03:37:17.159 --> 03:37:22.000 and I love it so much, so everyone in the 4159 03:37:22.079 --> 03:37:25.200 Vienna spirit as we sate Sid. 4160 03:37:25.399 --> 03:37:28.440 It's just tremendous. That's just fucking funniest shit ever. 4161 03:37:28.719 --> 03:37:32.760 These little cans of meat. Yep, you know, to cause 4162 03:37:32.760 --> 03:37:36.399 such a sensation. Ethan writes, Rip Sid and condolences to 4163 03:37:36.479 --> 03:37:39.440 his son Frankfurt or Udy. I've already listened to bart 4164 03:37:39.479 --> 03:37:42.120 one twice instant classic. You two never failed to deliver 4165 03:37:42.200 --> 03:37:44.680 the Vienna's He says, Is it just me? Or did 4166 03:37:44.680 --> 03:37:47.079 Sid's hair look like someone poured a cup of wet 4167 03:37:47.200 --> 03:37:48.280 Ramen noodles on his head? 4168 03:37:49.360 --> 03:37:49.559 Yes? 4169 03:37:49.879 --> 03:37:52.280 For that reason, one hundred percent correct, and says I 4170 03:37:52.280 --> 03:37:54.200 could never get behind him one hundred percent. See, I 4171 03:37:54.200 --> 03:37:55.680 always thought Sid's hair was a plus. 4172 03:37:57.360 --> 03:37:59.200 Yeah, but he's right in saying that it looks like 4173 03:37:59.280 --> 03:38:02.719 Ramanus because that I like Ramen. Yeah, just another way 4174 03:38:02.719 --> 03:38:05.719 of saying that, I suppose Jessev. 4175 03:38:06.360 --> 03:38:08.399 Thank you for the pledge my friend Stuart William. 4176 03:38:08.920 --> 03:38:10.159 Thank you very much. Andy. 4177 03:38:10.319 --> 03:38:13.200 We appreciate your help. Mark Hutchinson, thanks for the support. 4178 03:38:13.520 --> 03:38:17.680 Nick Osipoff, Washa Andrea, thank you very much for joining 4179 03:38:17.719 --> 03:38:19.559 the executive producer tier on Patreon. 4180 03:38:19.959 --> 03:38:20.440 Marty F. 4181 03:38:21.000 --> 03:38:26.120 Shells, Rene Greater Carl from Saint Louis longtime supporter. It's 4182 03:38:26.159 --> 03:38:29.559 great to see all these names putting their money where 4183 03:38:29.559 --> 03:38:33.159 their mouth is. Dirger writes, interesting hearing the Squeezee story 4184 03:38:33.200 --> 03:38:35.200 regarding Sid. I can relay the version that was told 4185 03:38:35.239 --> 03:38:37.360 to me in ninety eight, ninety nine by someone that 4186 03:38:37.479 --> 03:38:39.559 says they were there. I'm pretty sure they worked for 4187 03:38:39.680 --> 03:38:41.600 WWF at the time, but it's fifty to fifty they 4188 03:38:41.639 --> 03:38:43.959 got the story from someone else. No, that makes sense 4189 03:38:44.000 --> 03:38:48.680 because don't forget Sid was in WWF when this happened, right, yeah, 4190 03:38:48.680 --> 03:38:50.680 and Pillman was in ww and they were in the 4191 03:38:50.680 --> 03:38:53.360 same hotel. Anyways, the version I have no mention of Mike, 4192 03:38:53.520 --> 03:38:56.719 just Pillman. No Mike Graham, who tells the best version 4193 03:38:56.760 --> 03:38:59.559 of the story that we shared in the episode, but 4194 03:38:59.680 --> 03:39:02.079 his mention Mike, this story has just Pilman getting into 4195 03:39:02.079 --> 03:39:04.280 it with Sid physically, with Pilman getting the better of 4196 03:39:04.360 --> 03:39:06.040 it and said, says something like you wait right here. 4197 03:39:06.079 --> 03:39:07.479 I'm going to get something on my truck to take 4198 03:39:07.520 --> 03:39:09.639 care of you. And he leaves and everyone is thinking 4199 03:39:09.639 --> 03:39:11.280 he's getting a knife or a hammer or a gun, 4200 03:39:11.600 --> 03:39:13.239 so they're all kind of nervous. But he comes back 4201 03:39:13.239 --> 03:39:16.760 with a squeegee and act like it's a handgun, pointing 4202 03:39:16.799 --> 03:39:19.559 it at people. Yep, everyone bursts into laughter, and he 4203 03:39:19.639 --> 03:39:21.719 just turns around and leaves and not close to the 4204 03:39:21.760 --> 03:39:23.559 accounts in the episode, and probably further from the truth 4205 03:39:23.559 --> 03:39:24.760 than anything, but I was fun It's funny. 4206 03:39:24.879 --> 03:39:25.719 Yeah, I like that idea. 4207 03:39:25.799 --> 03:39:28.680 That the reason it was so ridiculous, and the reason said, 4208 03:39:28.680 --> 03:39:30.200 we're trying to bring a squegee in. It's not because 4209 03:39:30.200 --> 03:39:33.040 he thought a squegee would be menacing, but because he 4210 03:39:33.079 --> 03:39:35.760 thought he could pass it off as a gun. Yes, right, 4211 03:39:36.799 --> 03:39:39.159 And that's that's hilarious to picture Sid with a squege 4212 03:39:39.200 --> 03:39:40.920 in his hand trying to convince people it's a gun. 4213 03:39:41.000 --> 03:39:43.879 That's that's something said would definitely do. So, oh, he 4214 03:39:44.079 --> 03:39:44.920 definitely would do that. 4215 03:39:45.159 --> 03:39:47.200 Giro Vargas, thank you very much for the pledge. We 4216 03:39:47.280 --> 03:39:47.799 appreciate it. 4217 03:39:47.920 --> 03:39:51.479 Miley Ripley, thanks for the support. This is a great 4218 03:39:51.520 --> 03:39:55.600 point by ar Ronaldi.

That's when we haven't tried. 4248 03:41:47.600 --> 03:41:49.639 I didn't even know Billy Joel had a song called Vienna. 4249 03:41:51.760 --> 03:41:54.120 Now you do? And what do you do with that information? 4250 03:41:54.319 --> 03:41:54.799 Is the question? 4251 03:41:55.440 --> 03:41:55.600 Oh? 4252 03:41:55.760 --> 03:41:58.879 That is that is always the thing. Although you won't 4253 03:41:58.879 --> 03:42:00.559 be able to hear it though, but I and I'm 4254 03:42:00.600 --> 03:42:03.239 sure I can read the lyrics. I don't know how 4255 03:42:03.280 --> 03:42:03.799 it goes. 4256 03:42:08.959 --> 03:42:09.760 So down. 4257 03:42:10.479 --> 03:42:16.639 You're crazy child, You're so ambitious for a juvenile But 4258 03:42:16.760 --> 03:42:20.559 then as you're so smart, tell me why you're still 4259 03:42:20.760 --> 03:42:28.159 so afraid? Where's the fire? What's the hurry about? You 4260 03:42:28.280 --> 03:42:32.520 better cool off before you burn it out. You got 4261 03:42:32.639 --> 03:42:36.200 so much to do and only so many hours. 4262 03:42:35.879 --> 03:42:40.719 In a day. Hey, but you know the woe that 4263 03:42:40.879 --> 03:42:45.680 truth is told. You can get what you want or 4264 03:42:45.879 --> 03:42:48.280 you can just get old. That's really good. 4265 03:42:50.079 --> 03:42:52.879 You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through 4266 03:42:53.719 --> 03:42:55.280 when you realize. 4267 03:42:56.840 --> 03:43:06.399 Waits for you. That's awesome. 4268 03:43:08.239 --> 03:43:11.840 I like the using vienna like it's plural, like I 4269 03:43:12.000 --> 03:43:13.479 have a vienna and I have vienna. 4270 03:43:14.159 --> 03:43:17.639 You know, yes, right, if you have multiple vienna heard 4271 03:43:17.639 --> 03:43:20.000 of this. Further to the squeegee story, Stephen writes, my 4272 03:43:20.040 --> 03:43:22.600 favorite story around the squegee incident is a few days later, 4273 03:43:22.680 --> 03:43:24.680 Sting and Cactus Jack had a no DQ match in 4274 03:43:24.680 --> 03:43:26.600 a house show, and they did a spot where Cactus 4275 03:43:26.639 --> 03:43:28.840 pulled out a squeegee and Stings started begging off like 4276 03:43:28.959 --> 03:43:32.440 Cactus was holding a knife. That's great funny. 4277 03:43:32.719 --> 03:43:34.879 I didn't know that this is from Lee and Mona 4278 03:43:35.000 --> 03:43:37.959 Rogers and it's entitled and I think this is going 4279 03:43:38.040 --> 03:43:42.559 to really hold some potential. Uh Sydney and the grocery 4280 03:43:42.600 --> 03:43:45.079 store take it away, boss. 4281 03:43:49.399 --> 03:43:57.159 And it's just hello, guys. I just have one story 4282 03:43:57.239 --> 03:43:58.840 on the Master and Rule of the world. I live 4283 03:43:58.879 --> 03:44:02.040 in Memphis, Tennessee. I've lived here my entire life and never, 4284 03:44:02.639 --> 03:44:05.639 not one single time, had I ever met Lord Humongous. 4285 03:44:07.280 --> 03:44:09.479 I have zero reasons to be at a softball field, 4286 03:44:09.559 --> 03:44:13.079 so that eliminated one path. I love wrestling, I love 4287 03:44:13.200 --> 03:44:16.520 love pro wrestling, but I never went to many shows. 4288 03:44:17.159 --> 03:44:19.559 I never went to Channel five on Saturday mornings. No 4289 03:44:19.719 --> 03:44:22.760 mid South Colisseum shows, no raws, no house shows. I 4290 03:44:22.879 --> 03:44:27.280 only went to one WCW Nitro in October nineteen ninety six, 4291 03:44:27.360 --> 03:44:30.479 and Psycho sid was on his way to Survivor Series 4292 03:44:30.559 --> 03:44:35.600 ninety six. Fast forward to May twenty twenty. Dark times, gentlemen, 4293 03:44:35.840 --> 03:44:39.680 Dark dark times. We all remember that period. I've worked 4294 03:44:39.760 --> 03:44:42.159 retail most jobs most of my life, and during that 4295 03:44:42.360 --> 03:44:45.159 time I worked at the fresh Market grocery store on 4296 03:44:45.319 --> 03:44:49.879 Union Ab in Memphis, only a ten minute drive and 4297 03:44:50.000 --> 03:44:54.520 you're crossing into Arkansas. So on a pretty chaotic day 4298 03:44:54.680 --> 03:44:58.079 early in the pandemic, I was working alone, unloading the 4299 03:44:58.159 --> 03:45:01.719 truck and stalking show else, probably listening to Pain on 4300 03:45:01.760 --> 03:45:05.399 the Pacific. My closest friend, who worked there and bakery, 4301 03:45:05.559 --> 03:45:09.799 knew I was a lifelong wrestling fan. She wasn't, but 4302 03:45:10.239 --> 03:45:12.719 would tell me a wrestler would come in there every 4303 03:45:12.760 --> 03:45:16.319 now and again and people would point him out. I 4304 03:45:16.399 --> 03:45:18.840 had a hunch it wasn't Jerry Lawler. Don't picture King 4305 03:45:19.000 --> 03:45:22.319 shopping there. Hello, well, I thought it could be said vicious, 4306 03:45:22.399 --> 03:45:25.639 and on this day she ran over to me to 4307 03:45:25.719 --> 03:45:28.959 tell me he was there, and it was Sid beauty 4308 03:45:29.200 --> 03:45:34.120 or Raymond beauty. He was tall, he was noticed with thinner, 4309 03:45:35.040 --> 03:45:37.920 still had the curly hair, was wearing blue, was wearing 4310 03:45:38.319 --> 03:45:41.920 khaki pants rather a sweatshirt, and more importantly for me, 4311 03:45:42.040 --> 03:45:46.120 at least, he was wearing a mask. We were at 4312 03:45:46.120 --> 03:45:48.639 a pretty scary time with COVID, and most folks wore 4313 03:45:48.760 --> 03:45:52.120 the mask. He carried his basket around and I watched 4314 03:45:52.200 --> 03:45:56.280 him go to the meat counter, deli and bakery. Then 4315 03:45:56.360 --> 03:45:59.239 he was in my section, which was the grocery side. 4316 03:46:00.159 --> 03:46:02.000 I was doing my thing, and he came over and 4317 03:46:02.120 --> 03:46:06.680 asked if we had mint jelly. Oh my god, he 4318 03:46:06.799 --> 03:46:11.639 did not say that mint you got? I ask you 4319 03:46:11.760 --> 03:46:19.520 something very simple. You got mint jelly for lamb chops. 4320 03:46:21.440 --> 03:46:24.479 I remember thinking vern didn't train, so all right, no shit, 4321 03:46:25.520 --> 03:46:28.280 and guys, our shelves were basically empty. During this time, 4322 03:46:28.360 --> 03:46:31.360 we had practically nothing. He then asked if we had 4323 03:46:31.559 --> 03:46:36.559 hemp seeds. Another no. He really didn't look happy, and 4324 03:46:36.680 --> 03:46:38.959 I thought about offering him the chance to power bomb 4325 03:46:39.040 --> 03:46:41.559 me pillman style, but we were in a serious time. 4326 03:46:42.600 --> 03:46:44.520 As he was checking out, I walked by just to 4327 03:46:44.600 --> 03:46:47.360 show him an inventory, an order sheet that showed we 4328 03:46:47.399 --> 03:46:49.799 put in orders for the hemp seed weeks prior and 4329 03:46:50.000 --> 03:46:53.239 things just weren't coming. He mentioned he drove a good 4330 03:46:53.319 --> 03:46:57.840 bit to get there, you know, for he's such a complainer. 4331 03:46:58.120 --> 03:47:01.680 He complains on the WW tape having to show up. Yep, 4332 03:47:02.040 --> 03:47:03.840 Oh my god, I don't want to show up here. 4333 03:47:06.040 --> 03:47:08.360 He mentioned he drove a I said sorry. I gave 4334 03:47:08.440 --> 03:47:11.920 him a ton of of friends and family coupons, and 4335 03:47:11.959 --> 03:47:14.600 he seemed appreciative. I did tell him I was a 4336 03:47:14.639 --> 03:47:16.399 lifelong fan of wrestling. He asked if I was a 4337 03:47:16.479 --> 03:47:20.600 fan of his. Lol. He offered an autograph. You want 4338 03:47:20.639 --> 03:47:27.319 autograph picture? I want to tell you what you want 4339 03:47:27.399 --> 03:47:30.200 a picture? You gotta buy me one hundred and fifty cans. 4340 03:47:33.959 --> 03:47:37.639 Cans by me, one hundred and fifty cans. 4341 03:47:40.399 --> 03:47:40.600 I was. 4342 03:47:41.600 --> 03:47:43.639 I was thirty four years old, so autographs weren't a 4343 03:47:43.680 --> 03:47:46.000 huge priority of my life, but I graciously accepted. He 4344 03:47:46.079 --> 03:47:48.719 saw my friend looking on and asked for her name. 4345 03:47:48.760 --> 03:47:52.000 I said Mona. He signed it and playfully gave her 4346 03:47:52.079 --> 03:47:57.239 grief for not having the desserts. He wanted, and then 4347 03:47:57.399 --> 03:48:03.000 Mona was like, yeah, I really appreciate you and shop Mona, 4348 03:48:03.040 --> 03:48:04.760 I want you to look me right in the eye. 4349 03:48:07.440 --> 03:48:13.600 I want you to understand something. I'm a master and 4350 03:48:13.760 --> 03:48:16.360 the ruler of the world, and you get me what 4351 03:48:16.479 --> 03:48:19.920 I fucking want. We're the only one going to be 4352 03:48:20.040 --> 03:48:23.760 Moana and Mona is you want to power bombinging through 4353 03:48:23.799 --> 03:48:31.159 the earth? Ah? She keeps telling U. Mona and I 4354 03:48:31.319 --> 03:48:33.879 recently got married and I told her about Sid's passing. 4355 03:48:34.360 --> 03:48:36.719 She keeps telling me she has both of those autographs somewhere, 4356 03:48:36.760 --> 03:48:39.280 but I'm positive those are long gone. I only saw 4357 03:48:39.399 --> 03:48:41.840 Sid once and it was for about five minutes, and 4358 03:48:41.920 --> 03:48:43.719 he was but he was a very polite man. He 4359 03:48:43.840 --> 03:48:46.319 left the good impression on me, and even more importantly, 4360 03:48:46.399 --> 03:48:48.399 he left a really good impression on the woman who 4361 03:48:48.440 --> 03:48:51.079 became my wife.

You know, 4399 03:51:00.360 --> 03:51:02.239 you don't actually know what he puts in the burgers 4400 03:51:02.600 --> 03:51:05.520 because they don't actually, you know, they just named them. 4401 03:51:05.799 --> 03:51:08.879 And then but what they did put out a cookbook delicious. 4402 03:51:09.000 --> 03:51:12.360 I actually they're good. I made some, Oh did you actually? 4403 03:51:12.760 --> 03:51:12.959 Yeah? 4404 03:51:13.079 --> 03:51:16.600 Yeah, yeah. I had a friend who had the cookbook, 4405 03:51:16.600 --> 03:51:18.200 and I just took a bunch of photos of ones 4406 03:51:18.239 --> 03:51:22.200 that that sounded good, and I made them. They're good, tasty. 4407 03:51:23.120 --> 03:51:26.280 Hilliam salivating thinking about Vader's recipe for ripping the door 4408 03:51:26.360 --> 03:51:34.280 off of Wendy's and splashing into the fry station. Sounds delicious. Okay, Now, 4409 03:51:34.600 --> 03:51:38.520 so I'm just you know, to call that a recipe 4410 03:51:38.680 --> 03:51:39.280 is pretty funny. 4411 03:51:39.399 --> 03:51:43.239 Actually, see right, He's even freaking barged through the door, 4412 03:51:44.079 --> 03:51:47.200 and people scatter. The first thing you want to do scattered, 4413 03:51:47.600 --> 03:51:49.479 all right, first thing you gotta do is you get 4414 03:51:49.559 --> 03:51:52.719 a hope. First. The first thing you gotta do is 4415 03:51:52.760 --> 03:51:56.440 you get to find a double door. Wendy's that's the priority, 4416 03:51:56.920 --> 03:52:01.280 all right. And then you push the doors through, and 4417 03:52:01.399 --> 03:52:04.600 you he has he has techniques in the cookbook on 4418 03:52:04.719 --> 03:52:09.440 how to push the doors exactly. And then everyone starts 4419 03:52:09.479 --> 03:52:12.680 screaming and you and you have to come in saying, 4420 03:52:12.760 --> 03:52:15.280 what are the food that makes that a recipe? 4421 03:52:17.680 --> 03:52:18.479 What the food? 4422 03:52:20.079 --> 03:52:23.760 Screaming? Everyone's you know, women are screaming, men are screaming, 4423 03:52:24.440 --> 03:52:26.239 trying to get out of his way, and you just 4424 03:52:26.799 --> 03:52:30.040 then you just you just thunder over to the fucking 4425 03:52:30.239 --> 03:52:32.719 to the fucking register. You push the employee out of 4426 03:52:32.719 --> 03:52:35.399 the way, and you go to the French fries and 4427 03:52:35.600 --> 03:52:37.399 just you do you know, you do one of those 4428 03:52:37.920 --> 03:52:48.399 like like you're sweeping your arms out. Okay, well, so yes, 4429 03:52:48.479 --> 03:52:51.000 we should make one. Yeah, I guess. So that's the 4430 03:52:51.079 --> 03:52:54.559 only thing I can think of as a proper response 4431 03:52:54.600 --> 03:52:58.360 to that. Mmmm, that's the recipe of that. 4432 03:52:58.639 --> 03:53:00.399 There's anybody out there who can help us put a 4433 03:53:00.440 --> 03:53:02.239 book out I think we can talk. 4434 03:53:03.000 --> 03:53:03.639 That'd be funny.
