Speaker 1: Happy Holidays, Solar System. It's Jack certainly hoped for those
of you who enjoyed Christmas this year that it brought
all of the abundance and just my numbing generosity that
we were able to experience on the unwrappening twenty twenty four,
which by now you know has rolled out systematically day
by day as we mark another year, an important year
here at tlf HQ. It's of course TLFX and a
couple of things to share with you as the year
closes and as we head in to a flipping of
the calendar. First of all, you should know that quite
soon here on the main feed, we're going to be
closing a loop that started this year on the TLFX
series of special programming, The tlf Hall of Fame, which
was voted on by some of the more stringent and
intense and serious members of the Solar System, is going
to be rolled out in a big burst here to
close out TLFX as we look back on some of
the great moments by some of our keenest listeners in
terms of all the things that are contained in that catalog.
So do look for that one by one here in
the main feed in the days to come, and that
should prove the perfect entree for those of you who
are still in the fence, or procrastinating, or whatever the
case may be, just haven't gotten to it, the perfect
entree to remind you that TLF deserves your vote, your voice,
as well as your vote in the Sports Podcast Group's
Best Wrestling Podcast Award. The Sports Podcast Awards is nominated
that fucking cast as a finalist in the best Wrestling category.
And unfortunately, from here it's a popularity contest and TLF
is nothing if not some entity that can figure out
the rules of the game and execute upon those rules.
And so if meritocracy is to have a voice in
the world. As we enter a new decade for the
cast and a new year for the world, you ought
to navigate over to Sports Podcastgroup dot com. You'll see
the award drop down menu and the twenty twenty five
short lists at the top of the page. Click through
that get to your best Wrestling section and there you'll
see that black and red logo, and you know what
you must do. Let us know on our social media
channels where you can find that link as well to
vote that you did vote, and we'd be glad to
rebroadcast that out there and show you some love, because
this is the way the rules are written, and so
we will rise to that particular occasion. It's sort of
urgent because voting closes on January thirteenth, so this isn't
necessarily something you can put off for much longer if
you want to make sure that TLF in a year
in which we deserve it more than any other, gets
that particular nod. I also wanted to share what's coming
up here next, because there's nothing more TLFX and TLF
Christmas than receiving missives as well as pieces of audio
from members of the Solar System as they do their
holiday travels, and we got a douzy for you this year,
and as a lot of folks travel home for the
holidays in the next couple of days, thought this was
particularly fitting and well placed in terms of the calendar,
as Rob was able to share with us some audio
he recorded on his Christmas drive back and of four
hour drive, he writes, to Shrewsbury with my wife and
two kids, all three asleep. There's only one thing I'm
listening to. There's only one thing I need. Then my
wife wakes up and asks the question, so please do
enjoy what we hope is the quintessential husband wife spousal
exchange in and around that fucking cast, as only we
could bring to life after ten years of relentless podcasting.
So here's Rob, and here it is now in your
court to once again vote for us in the Sports
Podcast Group's Best Sports Podcast Wrestling Podcast of the Year awards.
The details again on our social media channels or Sports
Podcastgroup dot com. A bit more to come your way
before we close the year, including a wonderful New Year's
Eve t LFX testimonial from the Homie Dickie. So much
more to look forward to as we close out a
banner year for the show. No further ado. Here is
that nat sound? As they say with the Homie Rob enjoy?
Speaker 2: Okay, so could you just repeat what you ask me?
Speaker 3: So you're listened to the Fun Lab Seed podcast and
I know you always listen to and you're always behind,
So I ask you how often.
Speaker 4: They make this podcast? So yeah, I'm always behind?
Speaker 2: You mean that they have I'm always there's always a
large queue of episodes that.
Speaker 4: I haven't listened to and how long is the episode? Right?
Speaker 2: That's when I said, when you said how long is
the episode? I smiled and I said, press record.
Speaker 4: So that's where So they do?
Speaker 2: I think I think they do like one regular episode
of that week a week, but I'm only on a
I'm on a certain tier. I only get those episodes.
But they also do another episode where they talk about movies,
and they also do another episode where they talk about
their mom.
Speaker 4: One of their moms watch is wrestling with them.
Speaker 2: So they did three yea and no. Because I don't
pay for that, and if you did, you would.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm already.
Speaker 2: About I think I'm about two hundred hours behind. My
best guesses are about two hundred hours behind. Like how
many I listened to some unwatched, unlistened episodes and they're
talking about COVID, so are pretty far behind. But to
answer your question, the average length of an episode is
like five or six hours.
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, did they have no live? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Who was doing six hour podcast once or twice or
three times a week?
Speaker 4: It's like a full time job.
Speaker 1: Is that the job?
Speaker 4: I think?
Speaker 2: Well, one of them is a journalist, one of them
is an actor, so that I think they have no
I think they have a bit of freedom because they're
both free lance. I think they're both freelance. I think
they have a bit of freedom.
Speaker 3: Can be an actor a freelancer actor.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I expect, you know, take what you get,
I imagine. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But but yeah, So during the subject that they talk
about is so they spend five six seven hours talking
about wrestling, but only wrestling in the past.
Speaker 4: So I don't think there's that be enough past they are,
to be fair, they are running out a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, six hours at episode and you're three hundred and
eighty seven.
Speaker 2: One, So let's think, So how much personal do they Well,
whenever someone dies, whenever someone important dies. So there's a
wrestling called Psycho said he just died and they did
a tribute to him.
Speaker 4: And it's ten episodes.
Speaker 3: What are they looking in this person like a fa
Facebook page and go everything.
Speaker 2: Well, because one of them is a journalists that the
one that's a journalist.
Speaker 4: Really really really really.
Speaker 3: Ticksty you know, cyclopedia and this like it is very
good at like going from the childhood to the middle
hood and then through the older and it's it's an
hour and you know, longest the longest one was People three,
three episodes of Inche like two hours.
Speaker 2: That is the longest one, right, yeah, yeah, I mean
why would I listen to like a seven hour podcast.
Doesn't make any sense, right, It's just exhausting, right, Yeah,
you can get bored.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is I've been listening to it for
I think about ten years.
Speaker 4: Now and just behind.
Speaker 2: But I got behind as soon as COVID hit. Because
when COVID hit, they just went into this. They went crazy.
They had nothing else to do. There might have been there,
but they did a bunch of hogansun number one Hogan
in Japan.
Speaker 4: Episodes they had some gets very detat yeah, I mean
when they did the whole.
Speaker 2: So they did Vincent, they did a whole series called
so as well as doing episodes, they also do like
like a special series, so they have like a mini
series within the show. So the mini series, the first
mini series they ever did was about you know that
movie that you nearly watched, The Iron Clare. Remember the
Iron Clare. Wow, it's about the.
Speaker 3: Wrestler they stop watching you stop watching.
Speaker 2: You No, you never watched it, but you said you
wanted to watch it. Oh so yeah, yeah, Well it's
a So that's that's the it was a mini series
called The Lamentable Tragedy of the Von Erics, so that
they did a whole mini series about the von Erics.
I think it was in twenty eighteen, and it was
just it was breakthrough stuff. I mean, it was just
absolutely incredible. And then they sort of they got quite
addicted to miniseries.
Speaker 3: Which is like what two hours a BENI.
Speaker 2: Series somewhere between My God Time a miniseries somewhere between
twenty and thirty yards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say. So.
Speaker 2: They did the Trial of his Life, which is Vincent
Mann went was on this trial for distributing steroids in
nineteen ninety four, and they actually paid for the tra
an swercripts and all the core papers and as well
as doing a deep dive into the whole story. And
I'll tell you how deep the deep dive record that No,
we can stop talking about it. I mean, it's no me,
it's he's fucking you know. Wrestling is fake.
Speaker 3: Hey, look, I want to do you want me to
record and I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to you about a podcast that not only
only talks about fake wrestling, but only fake wrestling from
the past.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Yeah, Merry Christmas, thank you,
