Speaker 1: Hey, this is Lapse Jesse the Body Ventura. I understand
Speaker 1: that the Lapsed Fan wrestling podcast, despite being a United
Speaker 1: States based podcast not recording out of Mexico, is up
Speaker 1: for an award. I understand that they are up for
Speaker 1: the Sports Podcast Award for Best Wrestling Podcast. That's exciting news.
Speaker 1: But you know why I'm a fan of the Lapsed Fan.
Speaker 1: It's because they're a third party podcast. You know, That's
Speaker 1: the whole thing about it. I'm a third party candidate.
Speaker 1: They don't let me in the debates because they know
Speaker 1: I'd win. And I'll tell you what what makes this
Speaker 1: an extraordinary event is that the Sports Podcast Awards have
Speaker 1: allowed a third party podcast in their debates, in their judging,
Speaker 1: in their voting, which means, you know what, we have
Speaker 1: a chance. So go to your nearest polling station and
Speaker 1: vote for the Lapsed Fan. I'll tell you where I go.
Speaker 1: I go to www. Dot sports Podcastgroup, dot com, slash
Speaker 1: sports Underscore category slash best dash Wrestling dash Podcast slash hashtag.
Speaker 1: Because I'm going to show the world once again that
Speaker 1: third parties are the best, and that the Lapsed Fan
Speaker 1: is the best third party podcast that there ever was.
Speaker 1: We can shock the world again.
Speaker 2: It's the Lapsed Fan Wrestling Podcast with Jack mcarn seo
Speaker 2: and JP Sorrow.
Speaker 3: We've got an exciting Christmas program lined up for these folks.
Speaker 1: We've been to a Little Boys this year. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's an artificial tree, so I did artificial job at trimming.
Speaker 2: The kindness is only exceeded by our inability to adjust
Speaker 2: all of the we're here the Lapsed Fan.
Speaker 3: Everybody's got a price for the million dollar Man, even seven.
Speaker 1: Claus and so no, say, it's not.
Speaker 2: So walking on oh yes, two thousand, fucking around the
Speaker 2: Christmas tree lots is exhausting. This is like exhausting, you know,
Speaker 2: like a whole different level. It really is like, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know what even saying.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, here I am thinking this is
Speaker 3: going to be a breeze, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 3: this is I mean not for you know, people listening,
Speaker 3: but for us it's our third hour. That's so yeah,
Speaker 3: no exactly, I mean, I know that's like regular for us.
Speaker 3: But you know, I had a drink beforehand. This is
Speaker 3: not what I that's not what I do. I have
Speaker 3: usually ten cups of coffee before I you know, work
Speaker 3: four hours on five, six, seven, eight, ten, twelve hours
Speaker 3: on a lapse fan show.
Speaker 2: Well, the hearth is still kindling. We're still here, mamasar
Speaker 2: on the Boss.
Speaker 3: It needs to be stoked.
Speaker 2: He's gonna stoke the flame.
Speaker 3: And where I don't want to lose this. Oh shoot, we're.
Speaker 2: Rounding third here. I can if my visual assessment is
Speaker 2: any indication and just an incredible, incredible bounty from Solar
Speaker 2: System members, the best listeners in all of podcasting that
Speaker 2: take this whole thing to a level of profundity that
Speaker 2: we never could have expected. As Boss Man stokes the flames,
Speaker 2: we're here gathered for another Christmas and it's the Unwrappening,
Speaker 2: Part three, and we're due now to open the next
Speaker 2: gift of Christmas. Let's take a look this from our
Speaker 2: good friend Ben Plans, and Ben has sent us this,
Speaker 2: this package from deuts Deutschland, Germany. Yes, please don't set
Speaker 2: the house on fire. That would be a very that
Speaker 2: would be a very unfortunate ending to what we're doing here.
Speaker 2: Some embers have escaped the chimney. Folks gently tapping the
Speaker 2: lie have coals, If you have the scissors, I do.
Speaker 2: What's what's that recording time show.
Speaker 3: Two hours fifty three seconds. If you're not a problem,
Speaker 3: we're doing it for the fans.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes they are. So let's see what Ben plans.
Speaker 2: The home in Germany saw fit to send our way.
Speaker 2: So it's an international package. I think it's quadruple taped.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you know what are they?
Speaker 2: Germany?
Speaker 3: Germany? Yes, you don't. They know that it's fake.
Speaker 2: I know. If it's fake, why are the presents real?
Speaker 3: That's what I'm going right, Well, it's fake. Why do
Speaker 3: they have to check the packages? I don't think they
Speaker 3: checked them. I think they just I wouldn't check them either,
Speaker 3: tape them ten times over. I wouldn't check if I
Speaker 3: if I was working some kind of you know, I
Speaker 3: don't know, male security, I wouldn't check it anyway. I
Speaker 3: don't want to go through all this stuff.
Speaker 2: I would just I would just quite well. I was ahead, yep,
Speaker 2: Oh wow, what have we got? Well it's it's a
Speaker 2: lot of things, but it seems like the kind of
Speaker 2: thing that have a letter in it, So I don't
Speaker 2: want to Yeah, here we go, of course, Okay, always
Speaker 2: send letters.
Speaker 3: We love it, yes we do.
Speaker 2: Makes it so much better. Dear Laps Chairman. I hope
Speaker 2: my package got through to you in time, because your
Speaker 2: call went out during a tribute show which I saved
Speaker 2: for a special occasion one year. Oh, Terrence Funks this
Speaker 2: time sid who really ruled? By the way, I almost
Speaker 2: shit my pants from joy watching Survivors series nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: six back then, but I digress. Thank you for everything
Speaker 2: you do, minus the pain in the Pacific series interesting.
Speaker 2: I hope you never lose the passion, and I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to listening to your X MEUS episode during the holidays.
Speaker 3: Well, I need an email. I need an email follow
Speaker 3: up with us. I need to know why what's wrong.
Speaker 2: With pin off the Pacific Christmas season? To the presence
Speaker 2: number one, I told you that you would get more
Speaker 2: German bs and while the Hogan cybo was hard to top,
Speaker 2: I hereby bequeathed you my w You have trading cards.
Speaker 2: The Merlin cards from nineteen ninety one I used to
Speaker 2: have more, of course, were my introduction to the sport
Speaker 2: of kings. I was nine years old and checking comics
Speaker 2: in a supermarket when I saw the ww F trading
Speaker 2: cards for the first time. I did not know these men,
Speaker 2: but I instantly knew these guys fight somehow, and they
Speaker 2: are all awesome, especially that blonde haired superhero guy with
Speaker 2: the mustache and that curly blonde master and ruler in
Speaker 2: the blue trunks. My often stingy mother knew that there
Speaker 2: was no chance of me leaving that place without a
Speaker 2: package of cards. I remember that her instincts were to
Speaker 2: tell her son right in that moment, that catchin, as
Speaker 2: they call it in Germany. You know, the wrestling is
Speaker 2: called catchen in Germany. Catchin fake. Then we went to
Speaker 2: check out, and the cashier also made sure to tell
Speaker 2: me that those guys were fake. Ah, you got yourself
Speaker 2: a set of strong man, it's not real. So I
Speaker 2: knew that this is all agreed upon violence before I
Speaker 2: ever saw talent, little kid that Pike guards.
Speaker 3: Why are you doing that while you waste your time?
Speaker 3: Such a disease man, it really is.
Speaker 2: So I knew that this is all agreed upon violence
Speaker 2: before I ever saw one moving picture. Of the texts
Speaker 2: on the cards were translated badly, misleading or hard to understand.
Speaker 2: I got the impression that the title can only be
Speaker 2: won at WrestleMania and so on.
Speaker 3: That's I mean, that should be true.
Speaker 2: Actually, when the Yellow nineteen ninety three cards hit the scene.
Speaker 2: Nearly everybody around me already was in total wrestling fever.
Speaker 2: Germany was on fire, and everybody had those yellow ones.
Speaker 2: And now you guys have have them. Please be aware
Speaker 2: that I cannot guarantee that they are mold, asbestos and
Speaker 2: NOLDU free, as they were stored away in dark places
Speaker 2: for decades. Great two last year I sent you the
Speaker 2: VHS version of European Rampage nineteen ninety two live from Munich,
Speaker 2: back in the days when the most expensive ticket did
Speaker 2: not cost eighteen five hundred euros like in Berlin in August.
Speaker 2: Last time I saw gunthro up close and personal and
Speaker 2: some rundown location. It cost me twenty bucks times change
Speaker 2: back to topic. I suppose you could add Rampage to
Speaker 2: World Tour nineteen ninety two WF one oh six, which
Speaker 2: is the Coliseum video title. When Digging in the Crates
Speaker 2: reaches that point, you guys were skeptical if you have
Speaker 2: not already done most of the show, But you were wrong,
Speaker 2: very wrong. Since you have not done one single Creates
Speaker 2: episode since last year. Maybe you enter this gem from
Speaker 2: the last legs of the Almost Steel Golden Era to
Speaker 2: your hopper, since it is not a real Colisseum videotape. Anyways,
Speaker 2: now you got the TV version two. If someday you
Speaker 2: will give it the same treatment as the Italian show
Speaker 2: a few months back, I'll stand ready to support you.

Speaker 2: don't know how to say that wine notchten. I hope
