1
00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Happy Holidays, Solar System. It's Jack certainly hoped for those

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of you who enjoyed Christmas this year that it brought

3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>all of the abundance and just my numbing generosity that

4
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 1>we were able to experience on the unwrappening twenty twenty four,

5
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>which by now you know has rolled out systematically day

6
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>by day as we mark another year, an important year

7
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>here at tlf HQ. It's of course TLFX and a

8
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of things to share with you as the year

9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 1>closes and as we head in to a flipping of

10
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the calendar. First of all, you should know that quite

11
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>soon here on the main feed, we're going to be

12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>closing a loop that started this year on the TLFX

13
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>series of special programming, The tlf Hall of Fame, which

14
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 1>was voted on by some of the more stringent and

15
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>intense and serious members of the Solar System, is going

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>to be rolled out in a big burst here to

17
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>close out TLFX as we look back on some of

18
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 1>the great moments by some of our keenest listeners in

19
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>terms of all the things that are contained in that catalog.

20
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>So do look for that one by one here in

21
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>the main feed in the days to come, and that

22
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>should prove the perfect entree for those of you who

23
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>are still in the fence, or procrastinating, or whatever the

24
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 1>case may be, just haven't gotten to it, the perfect

25
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 1>entree to remind you that TLF deserves your vote, your voice,

26
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>as well as your vote in the Sports Podcast Group's

27
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Best Wrestling Podcast Award. The Sports Podcast Awards is nominated

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>that fucking cast as a finalist in the best Wrestling category.

29
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>And unfortunately, from here it's a popularity contest and TLF

30
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>is nothing if not some entity that can figure out

31
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>the rules of the game and execute upon those rules.

32
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>And so if meritocracy is to have a voice in

33
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>the world. As we enter a new decade for the

34

43
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 1>rebroadcast that out there and show you some love, because

44
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>this is the way the rules are written, and so

45
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>we will rise to that particular occasion. It's sort of

46
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>urgent because voting closes on January thirteenth, so this isn't

47
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>necessarily something you can put off for much longer if

48
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 1>you want to make sure that TLF in a year

49
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>in which we deserve it more than any other, gets

50
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>that particular nod. I also wanted to share what's coming

51
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>up here next, because there's nothing more TLFX and TLF

52
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Christmas than receiving missives as well as pieces of audio

53
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 1>from members of the Solar System as they do their

54
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>holiday travels, and we got a douzy for you this year,

55
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and as a lot of folks travel home for the

56
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>holidays in the next couple of days, thought this was

57
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 1>particularly fitting and well placed in terms of the calendar,

58
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 1>as Rob was able to share with us some audio

59
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>he recorded on his Christmas drive back and of four

60
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>hour drive, he writes, to Shrewsbury with my wife and

61
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>two kids, all three asleep. There's only one thing I'm

62
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>listening to. There's only one thing I need. Then my

63
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>wife wakes up and asks the question, so please do

64
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>enjoy what we hope is the quintessential husband wife spousal

65
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>exchange in and around that fucking cast, as only we

66
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 1>could bring to life after ten years of relentless podcasting.

67
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So here's Rob, and here it is now in your

77
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so could you just repeat what you ask me?

78
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 3>So you're listened to the Fun Lab Seed podcast and

79
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 3>I know you always listen to and you're always behind,

80
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 3>So I ask you how often.

81
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 4>They make this podcast? So yeah, I'm always behind?

82
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>You mean that they have I'm always there's always a

83
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 2>large queue of episodes that.

84
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 4>I haven't listened to and how long is the episode? Right?

85
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>That's when I said, when you said how long is

86
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the episode? I smiled and I said, press record.

87
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 4>So that's where So they do?

88
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>I think I think they do like one regular episode

89
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>of that week a week, but I'm only on a

90
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm on a certain tier. I only get those episodes.

91
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 2>But they also do another episode where they talk about movies,

92
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 2>and they also do another episode where they talk about

93
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>their mom.

94
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 4>One of their moms watch is wrestling with them.

95
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>So they did three yea and no. Because I don't

96
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 2>pay for that, and if you did, you would.

97
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm already.

98
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 2>About I think I'm about two hundred hours behind. My

99
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>best guesses are about two hundred hours behind. Like how

100
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 2>many I listened to some unwatched, unlistened episodes and they're

101
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about COVID, so are pretty far behind. But to

102
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>answer your question, the average length of an episode is

103
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 2>like five or six hours.

104
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 4>No, Yeah, did they have no live? Yeah?

105
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Who was doing six hour podcast once or twice or

106
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 3>three times a week?

107
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 4>It's like a full time job.

108
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Is that the job?

109
00:05:58.839 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 4>I think?

110
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, one of them is a journalist, one of them

111
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 2>is an actor, so that I think they have no

112
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I think they have a bit of freedom because they're

113
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 2>both free lance. I think they're both freelance. I think

114
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>they have a bit of freedom.

115
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Can be an actor a freelancer actor.

116
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I expect, you know, take what you get,

117
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 4>I imagine. I don't know.

118
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>But but yeah, So during the subject that they talk

119
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 2>about is so they spend five six seven hours talking

120
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>about wrestling, but only wrestling in the past.

121
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 4>So I don't think there's that be enough past they are,

122
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 4>to be fair, they are running out a little bit.

123
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, six hours at episode and you're three hundred and

124
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>eighty seven.

125
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>One, So let's think, So how much personal do they Well,

126
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>whenever someone dies, whenever someone important dies. So there's a

127
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.040
<v Speaker 2>wrestling called Psycho said he just died and they did

128
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>a tribute to him.

129
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 4>And it's ten episodes.

130
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 3>What are they looking in this person like a fa

131
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Facebook page and go everything.

132
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, because one of them is a journalists that the

133
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>one that's a journalist.

134
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 4>Really really really really.

135
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Ticksty you know, cyclopedia and this like it is very

136
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 3>good at like going from the childhood to the middle

137
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.720
<v Speaker 3>hood and then through the older and it's it's an

138
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 3>hour and you know, longest the longest one was People three,

139
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.680
<v Speaker 3>three episodes of Inche like two hours.

140
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>That is the longest one, right, yeah, yeah, I mean

141
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>why would I listen to like a seven hour podcast.

142
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't make any sense, right, It's just exhausting, right, Yeah,

143
00:07:59.079 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 2>you can get bored.

144
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Yeah.

145
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>The funny thing is I've been listening to it for

146
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 2>I think about ten years.

147
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 4>Now and just behind.

148
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>But I got behind as soon as COVID hit. Because

149
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 2>when COVID hit, they just went into this. They went crazy.

150
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 2>They had nothing else to do. There might have been there,

151
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 2>but they did a bunch of hogansun number one Hogan

152
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 2>in Japan.

153
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 4>Episodes they had some gets very detat yeah, I mean

154
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 4>when they did the whole.

155
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 2>So they did Vincent, they did a whole series called

156
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:39.039
<v Speaker 2>so as well as doing episodes, they also do like

157
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>like a special series, so they have like a mini

158
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>series within the show. So the mini series, the first

159
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>mini series they ever did was about you know that

160
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.039
<v Speaker 2>movie that you nearly watched, The Iron Clare. Remember the

161
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Iron Clare. Wow, it's about the.

162
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Wrestler they stop watching you stop watching.

163
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.480
<v Speaker 2>You No, you never watched it, but you said you

164
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>wanted to watch it. Oh so yeah, yeah, Well it's

165
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:15.440
<v Speaker 2>a So that's that's the it was a mini series

166
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.519

<v Speaker 2>they did a whole mini series about the von Erics.

168
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.440

169
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>just it was breakthrough stuff. I mean, it was just

170
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 2>absolutely incredible. And then they sort of they got quite

171
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 2>addicted to miniseries.

172
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.559
