1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: Happy Holidays, Solar System. It's Jack certainly hoped for those

2
00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:07,440
of you who enjoyed Christmas this year that it brought

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,119
all of the abundance and just my numbing generosity that

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,039
we were able to experience on the unwrappening twenty twenty four,

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,960
which by now you know has rolled out systematically day

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,359
by day as we mark another year, an important year

7
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:26,960
here at tlf HQ. It's of course TLFX and a

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,920
couple of things to share with you as the year

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,719
closes and as we head in to a flipping of

10
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:36,600
the calendar. First of all, you should know that quite

11
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:38,880
soon here on the main feed, we're going to be

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,560
closing a loop that started this year on the TLFX

13
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:47,399
series of special programming, The tlf Hall of Fame, which

14
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,399
was voted on by some of the more stringent and

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,039
intense and serious members of the Solar System, is going

16
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:56,359
to be rolled out in a big burst here to

17
00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:59,000
close out TLFX as we look back on some of

18
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:03,159
the great moments by some of our keenest listeners in

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,319
terms of all the things that are contained in that catalog.

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,680
So do look for that one by one here in

21
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:10,439
the main feed in the days to come, and that

22
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:13,159
should prove the perfect entree for those of you who

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,319
are still in the fence, or procrastinating, or whatever the

24
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:17,719
case may be, just haven't gotten to it, the perfect

25
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:22,079
entree to remind you that TLF deserves your vote, your voice,

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,760
as well as your vote in the Sports Podcast Group's

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,359
Best Wrestling Podcast Award. The Sports Podcast Awards is nominated

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,359
that fucking cast as a finalist in the best Wrestling category.

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,840
And unfortunately, from here it's a popularity contest and TLF

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,879
is nothing if not some entity that can figure out

31
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,519
the rules of the game and execute upon those rules.

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,400
And so if meritocracy is to have a voice in

33
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:52,480
the world. As we enter a new decade for the

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,040
cast and a new year for the world, you ought

35
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,560
to navigate over to Sports Podcastgroup dot com. You'll see

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,359
the award drop down menu and the twenty twenty five

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,159
short lists at the top of the page. Click through

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,760
that get to your best Wrestling section and there you'll

39
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,680
see that black and red logo, and you know what

40
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:12,800
you must do. Let us know on our social media

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,400
channels where you can find that link as well to

42
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:16,439
vote that you did vote, and we'd be glad to

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,759
rebroadcast that out there and show you some love, because

44
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:22,280
this is the way the rules are written, and so

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,360
we will rise to that particular occasion. It's sort of

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,520
urgent because voting closes on January thirteenth, so this isn't

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840
necessarily something you can put off for much longer if

48
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:35,879
you want to make sure that TLF in a year

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,520
in which we deserve it more than any other, gets

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,319
that particular nod. I also wanted to share what's coming

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,360
up here next, because there's nothing more TLFX and TLF

52
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:48,000
Christmas than receiving missives as well as pieces of audio

53
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:49,719
from members of the Solar System as they do their

54
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:53,280
holiday travels, and we got a douzy for you this year,

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,560
and as a lot of folks travel home for the

56
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,840
holidays in the next couple of days, thought this was

57
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:01,719
particularly fitting and well placed in terms of the calendar,

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,759
as Rob was able to share with us some audio

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960
he recorded on his Christmas drive back and of four

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,599
hour drive, he writes, to Shrewsbury with my wife and

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,240
two kids, all three asleep. There's only one thing I'm

62
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,800
listening to. There's only one thing I need. Then my

63
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:19,520
wife wakes up and asks the question, so please do

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,400
enjoy what we hope is the quintessential husband wife spousal

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,439
exchange in and around that fucking cast, as only we

66
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:31,479
could bring to life after ten years of relentless podcasting.

67
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
So here's Rob, and here it is now in your

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,479
court to once again vote for us in the Sports

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,879

The details again on our social media channels or Sports

71
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:48,240

00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,960
before we close the year, including a wonderful New Year's

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400
Eve t LFX testimonial from the Homie Dickie. So much

74
00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:57,400
more to look forward to as we close out a

75
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:01,520
banner year for the show. No further ado. Here is

76
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,199
that nat sound? As they say with the Homie Rob enjoy?

77
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,439
Speaker 2: Okay, so could you just repeat what you ask me?

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:20,319
Speaker 3: So you're listened to the Fun Lab Seed podcast and

79
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,800
I know you always listen to and you're always behind,

80
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,680
So I ask you how often.

81
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: They make this podcast? So yeah, I'm always behind?

82
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: You mean that they have I'm always there's always a

83
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:33,959
large queue of episodes that.

84
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 4: I haven't listened to and how long is the episode? Right?

85
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: That's when I said, when you said how long is

86
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:43,480
the episode? I smiled and I said, press record.

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,759
Speaker 4: So that's where So they do?

88
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: I think I think they do like one regular episode

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,040
of that week a week, but I'm only on a

90
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,079
I'm on a certain tier. I only get those episodes.

91
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:01,439
But they also do another episode where they talk about movies,

92
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,399
and they also do another episode where they talk about

93
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,319
their mom.

94
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:10,879
Speaker 4: One of their moms watch is wrestling with them.

95
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,199
Speaker 2: So they did three yea and no. Because I don't

96
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,319
pay for that, and if you did, you would.

97
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,079
Speaker 4: Well, I'm already.

98
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:24,879
Speaker 2: About I think I'm about two hundred hours behind. My

99
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,839
best guesses are about two hundred hours behind. Like how

100
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:32,279
many I listened to some unwatched, unlistened episodes and they're

101
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:36,079
talking about COVID, so are pretty far behind. But to

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,920
answer your question, the average length of an episode is

103
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,199
like five or six hours.

104
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, did they have no live? Yeah?

105
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: Who was doing six hour podcast once or twice or

106
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,600
three times a week?

107
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: It's like a full time job.

108
00:05:57,439 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Is that the job?

109
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 4: I think?

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: Well, one of them is a journalist, one of them

111
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:05,519
is an actor, so that I think they have no

112
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,720
I think they have a bit of freedom because they're

113
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:09,959
both free lance. I think they're both freelance. I think

114
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,560
they have a bit of freedom.

115
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:13,519
Speaker 3: Can be an actor a freelancer actor.

116
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: I don't know. I expect, you know, take what you get,

117
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,279
I imagine. I don't know.

118
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: But but yeah, So during the subject that they talk

119
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:30,399
about is so they spend five six seven hours talking

120
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:34,240
about wrestling, but only wrestling in the past.

121
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 4: So I don't think there's that be enough past they are,

122
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,560
to be fair, they are running out a little bit.

123
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, six hours at episode and you're three hundred and

124
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:49,120
eighty seven.

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: One, So let's think, So how much personal do they Well,

126
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,120
whenever someone dies, whenever someone important dies. So there's a

127
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,040
wrestling called Psycho said he just died and they did

128
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,199
a tribute to him.

129
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,319
Speaker 4: And it's ten episodes.

130
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: What are they looking in this person like a fa

131
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,120
Facebook page and go everything.

132
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: Well, because one of them is a journalists that the

133
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,360
one that's a journalist.

134
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,839
Speaker 4: Really really really really.

135
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: Ticksty you know, cyclopedia and this like it is very

136
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,680
good at like going from the childhood to the middle

137
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,720
hood and then through the older and it's it's an

138
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:44,600
hour and you know, longest the longest one was People three,

139
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,680
three episodes of Inche like two hours.

140
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: That is the longest one, right, yeah, yeah, I mean

141
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:54,480
why would I listen to like a seven hour podcast.

142
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,639
Doesn't make any sense, right, It's just exhausting, right, Yeah,

143
00:07:59,079 --> 00:07:59,879
you can get bored.

144
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

145
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: The funny thing is I've been listening to it for

146
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,519
I think about ten years.

147
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: Now and just behind.

148
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: But I got behind as soon as COVID hit. Because

149
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,839
when COVID hit, they just went into this. They went crazy.

150
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,560
They had nothing else to do. There might have been there,

151
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,839
but they did a bunch of hogansun number one Hogan

152
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:24,399
in Japan.

153
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:29,399
Speaker 4: Episodes they had some gets very detat yeah, I mean

154
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:30,519
when they did the whole.

155
00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:34,519
Speaker 2: So they did Vincent, they did a whole series called

156
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,039
so as well as doing episodes, they also do like

157
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,240
like a special series, so they have like a mini

158
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:46,600
series within the show. So the mini series, the first

159
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,480
mini series they ever did was about you know that

160
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,039
movie that you nearly watched, The Iron Clare. Remember the

161
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,879
Iron Clare. Wow, it's about the.

162
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: Wrestler they stop watching you stop watching.

163
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: You No, you never watched it, but you said you

164
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:07,440
wanted to watch it. Oh so yeah, yeah, Well it's

165
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:15,440
a So that's that's the it was a mini series

166
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,519
called The Lamentable Tragedy of the Von Erics, so that

167
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,960
they did a whole mini series about the von Erics.

168
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,440
I think it was in twenty eighteen, and it was

169
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:28,159
