Speaker 1: Happy Holidays, Solar System. It's Jack certainly hoped for those
Speaker 1: of you who enjoyed Christmas this year that it brought
Speaker 1: all of the abundance and just my numbing generosity that
Speaker 1: we were able to experience on the unwrappening twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: which by now you know has rolled out systematically day
Speaker 1: by day as we mark another year, an important year
Speaker 1: here at tlf HQ. It's of course TLFX and a
Speaker 1: couple of things to share with you as the year
Speaker 1: closes and as we head in to a flipping of
Speaker 1: the calendar. First of all, you should know that quite
Speaker 1: soon here on the main feed, we're going to be
Speaker 1: closing a loop that started this year on the TLFX
Speaker 1: series of special programming, The tlf Hall of Fame, which
Speaker 1: was voted on by some of the more stringent and
Speaker 1: intense and serious members of the Solar System, is going
Speaker 1: to be rolled out in a big burst here to
Speaker 1: close out TLFX as we look back on some of
Speaker 1: the great moments by some of our keenest listeners in
Speaker 1: terms of all the things that are contained in that catalog.
Speaker 1: So do look for that one by one here in
Speaker 1: the main feed in the days to come, and that
Speaker 1: should prove the perfect entree for those of you who
Speaker 1: are still in the fence, or procrastinating, or whatever the
Speaker 1: case may be, just haven't gotten to it, the perfect
Speaker 1: entree to remind you that TLF deserves your vote, your voice,
Speaker 1: as well as your vote in the Sports Podcast Group's
Speaker 1: Best Wrestling Podcast Award. The Sports Podcast Awards is nominated
Speaker 1: that fucking cast as a finalist in the best Wrestling category.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, from here it's a popularity contest and TLF
Speaker 1: is nothing if not some entity that can figure out
Speaker 1: the rules of the game and execute upon those rules.
Speaker 1: And so if meritocracy is to have a voice in
Speaker 1: the world. As we enter a new decade for the
Speaker 1: cast and a new year for the world, you ought
Speaker 1: to navigate over to Sports Podcastgroup dot com. You'll see
Speaker 1: the award drop down menu and the twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: short lists at the top of the page. Click through
Speaker 1: that get to your best Wrestling section and there you'll
Speaker 1: see that black and red logo, and you know what
Speaker 1: you must do. Let us know on our social media
Speaker 1: channels where you can find that link as well to
Speaker 1: vote that you did vote, and we'd be glad to
Speaker 1: rebroadcast that out there and show you some love, because
Speaker 1: this is the way the rules are written, and so
Speaker 1: we will rise to that particular occasion. It's sort of
Speaker 1: urgent because voting closes on January thirteenth, so this isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily something you can put off for much longer if
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that TLF in a year
Speaker 1: in which we deserve it more than any other, gets
Speaker 1: that particular nod. I also wanted to share what's coming
Speaker 1: up here next, because there's nothing more TLFX and TLF
Speaker 1: Christmas than receiving missives as well as pieces of audio
Speaker 1: from members of the Solar System as they do their
Speaker 1: holiday travels, and we got a douzy for you this year,
Speaker 1: and as a lot of folks travel home for the
Speaker 1: holidays in the next couple of days, thought this was
Speaker 1: particularly fitting and well placed in terms of the calendar,
Speaker 1: as Rob was able to share with us some audio
Speaker 1: he recorded on his Christmas drive back and of four
Speaker 1: hour drive, he writes, to Shrewsbury with my wife and
Speaker 1: two kids, all three asleep. There's only one thing I'm
Speaker 1: listening to. There's only one thing I need. Then my
Speaker 1: wife wakes up and asks the question, so please do
Speaker 1: enjoy what we hope is the quintessential husband wife spousal
Speaker 1: exchange in and around that fucking cast, as only we
Speaker 1: could bring to life after ten years of relentless podcasting.
Speaker 1: So here's Rob, and here it is now in your
Speaker 1: court to once again vote for us in the Sports
Speaker 1: Podcast Group's Best Sports Podcast Wrestling Podcast of the Year awards.
Speaker 1: The details again on our social media channels or Sports
Speaker 1: Podcastgroup dot com. A bit more to come your way
Speaker 1: before we close the year, including a wonderful New Year's
Speaker 1: Eve t LFX testimonial from the Homie Dickie. So much
Speaker 1: more to look forward to as we close out a
Speaker 1: banner year for the show. No further ado. Here is
Speaker 1: 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
Speaker 3: I know you always listen to and you're always behind,
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 2: of that week a week, but I'm only on a
Speaker 2: I'm on a certain tier. I only get those episodes.
Speaker 2: But they also do another episode where they talk about movies,
Speaker 2: and they also do another episode where they talk about
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 2: best guesses are about two hundred hours behind. Like how
Speaker 2: many I listened to some unwatched, unlistened episodes and they're
Speaker 2: talking about COVID, so are pretty far behind. But to
Speaker 2: answer your question, the average length of an episode is
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 3: 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
Speaker 2: is an actor, so that I think they have no
Speaker 2: I think they have a bit of freedom because they're
Speaker 2: both free lance. I think they're both freelance. I think
Speaker 2: 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,
Speaker 4: I imagine. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But but yeah, So during the subject that they talk
Speaker 2: about is so they spend five six seven hours talking
Speaker 2: about wrestling, but only wrestling in the past.
Speaker 4: So I don't think there's that be enough past they are,
Speaker 4: to be fair, they are running out a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, six hours at episode and you're three hundred and
Speaker 3: eighty seven.
Speaker 2: One, So let's think, So how much personal do they Well,
Speaker 2: whenever someone dies, whenever someone important dies. So there's a
Speaker 2: wrestling called Psycho said he just died and they did
Speaker 2: a tribute to him.
Speaker 4: And it's ten episodes.
Speaker 3: What are they looking in this person like a fa
Speaker 3: Facebook page and go everything.
Speaker 2: Well, because one of them is a journalists that the
Speaker 2: one that's a journalist.
Speaker 4: Really really really really.
Speaker 3: Ticksty you know, cyclopedia and this like it is very
Speaker 3: good at like going from the childhood to the middle
Speaker 3: hood and then through the older and it's it's an
Speaker 3: hour and you know, longest the longest one was People three,
Speaker 3: three episodes of Inche like two hours.
Speaker 2: That is the longest one, right, yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: why would I listen to like a seven hour podcast.
Speaker 2: Doesn't make any sense, right, It's just exhausting, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can get bored.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is I've been listening to it for
Speaker 2: I think about ten years.
Speaker 4: Now and just behind.
Speaker 2: But I got behind as soon as COVID hit. Because
Speaker 2: when COVID hit, they just went into this. They went crazy.
Speaker 2: They had nothing else to do. There might have been there,
Speaker 2: but they did a bunch of hogansun number one Hogan
Speaker 2: in Japan.
Speaker 4: Episodes they had some gets very detat yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: when they did the whole.
Speaker 2: So they did Vincent, they did a whole series called
Speaker 2: so as well as doing episodes, they also do like
Speaker 2: like a special series, so they have like a mini
Speaker 2: series within the show. So the mini series, the first
Speaker 2: mini series they ever did was about you know that
Speaker 2: movie that you nearly watched, The Iron Clare. Remember the
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 2: wanted to watch it. Oh so yeah, yeah, Well it's
Speaker 2: a So that's that's the it was a mini series
Speaker 2: called The Lamentable Tragedy of the Von Erics, so that
Speaker 2: they did a whole mini series about the von Erics.
Speaker 2: I think it was in twenty eighteen, and it was
Speaker 2: just it was breakthrough stuff. I mean, it was just
Speaker 2: absolutely incredible. And then they sort of they got quite
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 2: twenty and thirty yards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say. So.
Speaker 2: They did the Trial of his Life, which is Vincent
Speaker 2: Mann went was on this trial for distributing steroids in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four, and they actually paid for the tra
Speaker 2: an swercripts and all the core papers and as well
Speaker 2: as doing a deep dive into the whole story. And
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how deep the deep dive record that No,
Speaker 2: we can stop talking about it. I mean, it's no me,
Speaker 2: it's he's fucking you know. Wrestling is fake.
Speaker 3: Hey, look, I want to do you want me to
Speaker 3: record and I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to you about a podcast that not only
Speaker 2: only talks about fake wrestling, but only fake wrestling from
Speaker 2: the past.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Yeah, Merry Christmas, thank you,
