It may not be the best match, it 43 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.439 may not have been the best the biggest star, but 44 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:43.039 the weirdest idea that somehow made you care?

I'm gonna say I'll 51 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.919 compartmentalize it by saying, let's go back into the archives 52 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:02.520 for sure. 53 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:04.680 Sure. So one of. 54 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.560 The things that that that made me, uh, you know 55 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.560 that was the weirdest wrestling idea that got me emotionally invested. 56 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:15.479 The Firefly Funhouse. My goodness, that was amazing. It was 57 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.400 like and it was it was weird. It was like 58 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.199 you know it it had such a it had such 59 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.319 a really really uplifting theme song talking about we're really 60 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.560 glad that you're our friend and this will be a 61 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.360 friendship that will never ever end. I mean like and 62 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.639 and then it's Bray Wyatt with his McMahon puppet and 63 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.759 his sister Abigail puppet and then him and like like 64 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.759 sweats and a headband, uh, you know, just doing an 65 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.319 eighty style exercise video taunting whoever he wants it to 66 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.439 talk would put him in a man and then he 67 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.919 and and then you got invested in that you wanted 68 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.039 to watch more Firefly Funhouse every single week, and you 69 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.280 can hear the pops every single week, just. 70 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.680 Get louder and louder and louder. 71 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.560 And then Alexa Blis gets involved and then and then yes, 72 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.400 I know, with a lot of wrestling things and a 73 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.400 lot of things that McMahon does, it fizzles out. But hey, 74 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.000 it was there, It was, it was there. Another another 75 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.839 weird one, Santina Morella, Well, hold on, hold on, wait 76 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.639 before you go into your next idea. Uh, I mean 77 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.040 the mister Rogers aspect of the fireflyfe on House was 78 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.079 also kind of cool. You know, he gave that wholesome 79 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.959 side to his his characterization and then it made it 80 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.800 this this crazy Uh I guess I don't know how 81 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.519 to reword it any other way, but kind of a 82 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:48.160 schizophrenic nature of his character. Yeah, that would probably be 83 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.680 a pretty good explanation of that character. 84 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.680 Yeah, I mean, or dissociative personality disorder or something like that, 85 00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.040 something where he had multiple personalities on screen. And and 86 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.959 then you know, of course if and you don't want 87 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.879 to get on his bad side, because then the fiend 88 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.399 will come and get you right, right, right, right right, 89 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:11.519 I mean speaking of coming and get you, coming to 90 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.839 get you. The Boogeyman did not do that for me, 91 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:19.120 So I was okay, I was amused by that, in fact, 92 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.439 very amused. I even like I mean, of course, the 93 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.240 Booker team made it even even more entertaining because of 94 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.839 how much he looked like he genuinely feared the Boogeyman 95 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.240 every time he appeared on screen. Along with his wife, 96 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.920 the Lovely Queen Charmel would also add to the the 97 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.720 the lore of it too, so which I really respect. 98 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.519 I mean, like they really bought into the absurdity of 99 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:45.680 the Boogeyman. 100 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.040 Yes, and they made me like thoroughly entertained in those segments, uh, 101 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:55.839 and I mean speaking of bizarre and talking about the Boogeyman. 102 00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.800 I remember there was even this Vince Man really thought 103 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.240 of some weird, weird stuff back in his day as 104 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.000 creative head. Oh but but Boogeyman, like he ate the 105 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.600 birthmark off of Jillian Hall's face. I remember that, Like 106 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.480 she had a big, huge thing like a growth on 107 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.480 her face for a while, and then like I think 108 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.000 how they got rid of that was I think the 109 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.639 Boogeyman consumed it like he ate it off of her face, 110 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.959 like the very very very truly strange and yeah, no, 111 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.360 I mean wasn't the best, but I was entertained because 112 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:40.279 what is pro wrestling. It's it's entertainment with sports. So 113 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.480 I mean exactly, I mean, we'll go into that some more, 114 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.959 but go on. You had another answer to your own question. 115 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.560 Well, there's this little Santino Morella was also one of 116 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.240 the weird concepts where it's just like, you know, you're 117 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.680 going into crowd and in Milan of all places, and 118 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.439 then you know, just pulling somebody out of the crowd 119 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.000 randomly and he wins the inter Continental Chain Championship and 120 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.399 you know what, and which is another weird concept. 121 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.639 But hey, it was. It worked. 122 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.600 It got me invested into the Santina Morella character. And 123 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.959 you know, we're still talking about and we're still laughing 124 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.879 about Santina Morella Anthony Corelly years decades. 125 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.680 Later, which is amazing number. It is, by the way, 126 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.600 the director of authority on TNA Wrestling. 127 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.240 That's right, expert, that's right, TNA expert. You would you 128 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.720 are the authority on that? And uh, a little bit 129 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.399 of a weird concept, but uh and a little bit 130 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.920 awkward but it did get me emotionally invested in It was, 131 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.120 wwe bite this Leada and Matt Hardy and that whole storyline, 132 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.839 The whole Leada and Matt Hardy storyline. There it got 133 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.519 me really Leada, Matt Hardy and Edge. That there you go, Leada, 134 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.920 Matt Hardy and Edge storyline. It was the It was. 135 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.800 Awkward, it was weird, it was. 136 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.879 It was uncomfortable, but I got emotionally invested in it 137 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:06.839 because it was because despite the the unfortunate circumstances of 138 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.839 what was happening in real life, they all bought into 139 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.480 the story that they were telling. 140 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:16.000 So that's an interesting situation because by the time any 141 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.959 of the drama between Matt and Edge and Lida made 142 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.480 it onto the screen, we'd find this out years later, 143 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.680 but they had made up backstage already by the time 144 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.199 even a little bit of it, I think I think 145 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.399 even before the bite this call. Yes, I think even 146 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.919 before that they had already made up and were thinking 147 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.000 about creative ways to do this because their boss was 148 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:42.440 telling them to use it for on screen drama, which, honestly, 149 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.600 like it did for you, it got me emotionally invested 150 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.879 in the product. Like I loved it when Matt came 151 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.600 back and he had that what Matt Hardy will Not 152 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.120 Die shirt or something, and like he supposedly had been 153 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.799 let go and they had they we didn't know that 154 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.759 they brought him back already. And then when he attacked 155 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.879 Edge and Lida I guess, or try more of Edge, 156 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:09.200 I guess. 157 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.080 He attacked Edge, he called him Adam on the air, 158 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.720 he called Lida just Lida, and then he actually this 159 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.279 is off Mike. Yeah, no, well no, it was actually 160 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.399 on a live microphone. 161 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.559 Oh okay, yes, it was actually on a live microphone. 162 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.360 They played it so well that we all thought it 163 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:26.720 wasn't part of the show. 164 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.480 That it was that that that that that that k 165 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.200 fave was actually broken. Yeah, and like you said, like 166 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.480 you're about to say, he was plugging a ring of honor, 167 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.600 which was at the time kind of mostly taboo to 168 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:42.200 mention anyone else. And so I feel like I might 169 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:46.080 have at least one answer to your question at this point, 170 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.799 now that I've been listening to you for a little while. 171 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.679 Mm hmm. Yeah, I mean I think I know what 172 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.759 one you're going for. I think I think I know 173 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:59.000 which it is. I'm not sure. I think the one 174 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.799 you're thinking that I would say will come later on, 175 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.919 but now I'm thinking of digging way back into the 176 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.279 archives and as a kid, and to me, this is 177 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.559 strange to be associated with pro wrestling, but it was 178 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.799 the Summer Slam where you had the match made in 179 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.720 Heaven and the match made in hell. Now specifically it 180 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.039 was the macho man Randy Savage and Elizabeth wedding storyline. 181 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:31.480 That is one of my earliest, earliest recollections of something 182 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:36.360 that was not just quote unquote wrestling but made its 183 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.960 way onto this product. And you know, there weren't really 184 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.879 many moves involved. I mean, it was a drama between 185 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.320 a wrestler and his valet who he had kind of 186 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.720 a on and off relationship with, and you know, of 187 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:59.559 course the infamous Elizabeth, will you marry me? Like I 188 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.480 remember that? Yep, that was just in blazoned into my 189 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.279 head as a kid. It's so weird. But I'm like, 190 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.080 oh man, it's such drama, you know, oh it was. 191 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:14.120 It was such drama. And then when they finally got 192 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.679 married on screen, I forgot what the what form that took. 193 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.840 It might have been that Summer Slam. I think maybe 194 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:24.480 that was where the wedding was on screen. It was 195 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.600 I think I got legit like emotional even as a kid, 196 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.399 I'm like, oh my gosh, they're tying the knot. They 197 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.720 overcame adversity and then you know, we'd find out later 198 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.799 behind the scenes that they they were already divorced by then, Yes, exactly, 199 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.360 and it was that situation, but hey, they found a 200 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.960 way to make money out of it, exactly. They're they're 201 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.360 being professionals, you know. So and I think I think 202 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.759 Mauch did really care for Elizabeth, you know, like all 203 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:52.399 the way through. 204 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:54.919 Oh, that was very very clear that like that, like 205 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.639 even with the I mean, like there are different stories 206 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.799 that come out, but I think as well, I agree that, 207 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.720 like I do believe that Macho Man and Elizabeth really 208 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:06.639 did care for each other. 209 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.559 Yes, he was very very jealous. 210 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.799 I was a very very jealous partner, a very jealous 211 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.600 husband even and uh but I mean, but then again, 212 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.279 at the same time, it's at this at the same time, 213 00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.080 like you know, when you when you're hot headed like that 214 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.399 and everything, it's like it's it can be very very 215 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.759 easy to really let the jealousy because jealousy will Jealousy 216 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.080 is a kind of a is a very human trade 217 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:36.320 and everything it's it's a I mean, I mean, you know, 218 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:41.360 it's everybody. Everybody experiences in one form or another. But uh, 219 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.519 it just flared up a lot with him because of 220 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.320 you know, his own personality and his own personal issues. 221 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.360 But at the same time, Elizabeth was, you know, the 222 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.200 first lady of wrestling, Like you know, she is one 223 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.919 of those at the time, and she was really uh 224 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.960 when she and Macho Man were at their prime back 225 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.440 in the eighties, you know, she was considered the most 226 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.360 beautiful woman to ever grace a wrestling ring. 227 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.639 Oh yeah, for years. She definitely definitely was. Uh yeah. 228 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.759 So that's now now hearing you talk, that's what my 229 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.519 brain went to is that was kind of you know, 230 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.960 it's it's part of professional wrestling, but it's like no 231 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.440 wrestling involved sort of in that in those portions of 232 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.200 the show. So yeah, kind of kind of weird, kind 233 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.559 of off killed her a little bit exactly. 234 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:30.600 And that's the thing is that And that's the thing 235 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.720 is because we've said this before many many times over 236 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.919 the years, that it's not just wrestling, and there's a 237 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:38.960 there's a great YouTube video on that that like you 238 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.000 know that that that that some many wrestling fans may 239 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:47.000 have checked out called wrestling isn't wrestling, And because it's 240 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.399 not just the professional wrestling, the athletic side, It is 241 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.720 the artistic, it is the storytelling, It is the acting side. 242 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:55.200 It is the. 243 00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:00.320 Pump and pagistry, pageantry, and the the fireworks. 244 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.679 And that and and all that that that come with it. 245 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.159 And it's because it's just wrestling is ridiculous, and thank 246 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.799 god wrestling is ridiculous because to not because I mean, 247 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:14.720 then the the story of this of the past few 248 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.360 weeks and everything, Uh, we're talking about two main stories 249 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.279 that sound like they were pitched by a sleep deprived writer, 250 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.519 haunted Carnival Parker and somebody who lost a bet at catering. 251 00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:27.840 And uh. 252 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.480 And the first one and we're going to talk about 253 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:34.559 is Dan Housen helping uncurse the New York Knicks on 254 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.840 the way to the championship and cursed, cursing Stephen A 255 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.200 Smith and by default uncursing the Knicks as well, which is. 256 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.399 Oh no, no, no, I think Stephen A Smith is 257 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.799 still cursed now, okay, okay, okay. There there was a 258 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.440 distinction there. It was a cameo where Dan Housen got 259 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:55.399 paid human moneies. Yes, yes, yeah, that that humbly requested. 260 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.679 A fan Fanausen requested that that he lift the curse 261 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:04.159 on the Knicks, uncursed the Knicks. As a response to 262 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:08.720 that cameo request which Smith, yeah, no, but Stephen A. 263 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.279 Smith like he went back onto ESPN, I think it 264 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.240 was and reiterated that Stephen A. Smith is still cursed, 265 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.639 but the Knicks are uncursed. So he kind of made 266 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.000 that distinction. And ever since that cameo and him like 267 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:27.120 fulfilling that request, I guess yes to uncurse the New 268 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.320 York Knicks. That's when they went on their thirteen game 269 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.440 winning streak. 270 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.000 Exactly, and they've only lost and they only lost that 271 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.279 one game in then, Yes, one game since then and 272 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:42.679 they rolled and it's like yes, and then like yeah, 273 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.399 the the comeback game twenty nine points down. 274 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.679 Yeah. And much credit to Square Guardian, Yeah, much credit 275 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.679 to Toronto Raptors alumnus og An Andobi now a champ 276 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.559 on two different June thirteenths. 277 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.759 Yes, exactly, exactly. Hey, you know what you got og 278 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.879 on your team. Good things are going to happen. 279 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:05.080 You know. 280 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.879 I still remember his buzzer beater against Boston back in 281 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:13.879 the twenty twenty Pandemic playoffs. He hits it, he hits it, 282 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.159 doesn't even look at it. He's just like or he 283 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.519 sees it go through and he's and he doesn't even 284 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.159 raise his hands. It's like the sound that runs into 285 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.080 my head is Andy Sambers, who guys don't look at explosions. 286 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.440 Well, I think he learned a lot about being even 287 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.759 keel from one Kawhi Leonard when when they were on 288 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.240 the same team. So that's part of it too. But yeah, 289 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.759 I know, I mean to go back to the sports 290 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:44.320 entertainment of it all. I've been very entertained by by 291 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:49.519 Dan Housen and really the coincidence in him uncursing the 292 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:54.320 Knicks and it actually happening, you know, because it's it's crazy. 293 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:59.120 The Knicks have for the past couple of decades at least, 294 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.559 have been that team where they'll make it to the playoffs, 295 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.319 but you never expect them to pull it out, you 296 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.279 never expect them to win the big one. 297 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.440 So you're basically saying that the New York Nets, the 298 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.559 New York Knicks until this year have been the Toronto 299 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:13.240 maple Leafs. 300 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.240 Yes, and now the Toronto maple leafs continue to be 301 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:20.720 the Toronto maple leafs so well. I have heard or 302 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.599 seeing a couple of comments, one of which came from 303 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.319 our very own Jose Taboada. Then Dan Housen should really 304 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.960 also uncurse the leafs forgot ah. Yes, but we need 305 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.640 to pay him human money as though. That's the thing. 306 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.359 That's right. I'm a little I don't make that much money, 307 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.200 so somebody else is going to have to pay him 308 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.599 to uncurse the leafs. Maple leafs. Sports and Entertainment. 309 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.440 You're listening to the show right now, pay the human 310 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.960 moneys to Dan Housen to uncurse the leafs. 311 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:53.240 That's right, that's right, oh man, that's your team exactly. 312 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:56.319 And you know what I think, Dan Housen even I 313 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.480 don't know if you noticed this, but Dan Housen also 314 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.119 uncur the Carolina Hurricanes a little while ago. 315 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.599 He did, he did well, he well, he did put 316 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.119 a curse on them in Game two of the playoffs, 317 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.240 and then he I think he must have uncursed them 318 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.319 before that, because the Carolina Hurricanes did go on to 319 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.599 win the Stanley Cup. The next night, after the New 320 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.400 York Knicks one, the stat uh one won the Ilari 321 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:25.079 o' brien Trophy. So uh and uh well unfortunately, uh well, 322 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.599 which is which is the craziest thing, because former Maple 323 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.720 leafue Freddie Anderson is now a Stanley Cup champion. 324 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.240 However, now who was on who was on the Golden 325 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.880 Knights that was a former mate belief that didn't get 326 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.799 to win the championship this time, Mitchell Mitch Marner. Yeah, 327 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.200 there you go. Yeah, I heard somebody comment about that too. 328 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.759 Uh So you you, as a person who doesn't follow 329 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.880 the Toronto Maple Leafs, who you know or hockey and 330 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:53.960 you know the name of Mitch Marner. That's actually you 331 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.039 know that that that that that's actually pretty uh phenomenal. 332 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.480 That that guy has cost over a Yeah, one of 333 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:03.839 the few names I know just because he's a big 334 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.839 name in the Toronto hockey circles. Yeah, I mean, so 335 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:13.880 Dan Housen has really but that guy is one of 336 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.559 the answers to your question to the you know about 337 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.680 the strange things that have gotten me emotionally invested, because 338 00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.000 I mean I first heard about that guy when he 339 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.720 was in Ring of Honor. I heard about him during 340 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:31.039 the pandemic and so I saw these kookie vignettes as 341 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:35.519 part of ROH Days or the Dying Days of ROH 342 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:41.559 before being bought by Tony Kahn. Yes, yeah, Dan Housen. Honestly, 343 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.559 I think dan Hausen was the one that made me 344 00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:48.319 tune into ROH during the pandemic. Maybe a couple of 345 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.119 other people, like maybe there's one or two other storylines 346 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.559 that I caught on too, just because I was digging 347 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.200 that deep into pro wrestling, because it was just a 348 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.039 weird time, because the pandemics is a weird time. But 349 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.880 out of that weird time came Dan Housen for me. 350 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.400 Like I learned about his jar of teeth. Yes, I 351 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.000 learned about like exactly the nature of his character that 352 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:18.440 he explained as Conan O'Brien possessed by a demon's. 353 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.799 That is, yeah, and his voice, the voice is actually 354 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.640 really you can actually hear Conan O'Brien being possessed by 355 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.279 a demon in the Dan Housen voice. 356 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.400 Yeah. So I learned about him then and I thought, okay, cool, like, 357 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.319 and then eventually he got so much indie traction that 358 00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:39.519 ae W hired him for a little while featured him 359 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.839 for a few things. But I mean there's a combination 360 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:46.920 of dan Housen getting injured and also Tony conn not 361 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.480 knowing what to do with him, so he didn't put 362 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.160 him on as much when he got back from injury. Yeah, 363 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:53.200 and then he got and then his contract ran out, 364 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.440 and thankfully WWE scooped him up.
