Actually, if you 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.960 think about all the shows they got to run this weekend, 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.840 I think they did a pretty good job kind of 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:29.240 plug it everything.

Anthem Sports Group President 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:45.440 Carlos Silva spoke to John Wallstreet dot Com about his 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.120 plans to grow the promotion as it receives increased exposure 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.400 from its partnership with WE. So this said, we are 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.840 regularly being featured on every major WE and NXT platform 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.440 ples as well as weekly programming like the CW and 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.360 their other outlets like Peacock, as a result in a 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.800 huge television audience lift for us, along with all the 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.600 social media support we get from them. He believes ten 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.200 million per years in the range they are targeting. Funny 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.240 we are too. He also the new Meteorites deal for 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.360 TEENA would provide us the opportunity to go live fifty 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:23.400 two weeks a year, and today's world live matters. Usually 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.200 when we're live, we're doing around one hundred thousand household 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.520 of viewers, he continued. A weekly number between two fifty 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.680 and five hundred thousand in terms of Nielsen is perfectly 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.760 realistic on a network in forty or fifty million homes. 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.360 Something in the range of ten million a year is 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.080 where we think we should be. What do you think 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:48.080 Lance about the idea of going every week. 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.160 Yeah, this has been talked about many times, and my 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.600 answer is always there's a good chance I won't be 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.120 working there if that happens. I love TNA, I love 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.960 my job, I love everyone that I work with, but 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.320 my life has always been a balance of my home 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:10.200 life and my schedule. And the idea of flying out 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.720 early Wednesday to not get home till later in the 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.720 day Friday is a three day a week job, and 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.360 I'm not sure that's in the cards for me anymore. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.200 Maybe we could work out a deal that I didn't 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.760 do every week, who knows. I would do everything I 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.080 could to stay with the company should that happen, and 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.319 that'd be great if they could get a great media 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.079 rites deal, But I'm not looking at a full time 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:37.440 schedule at this point in my life. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.800 Well, you know, Carlos, Carlos Silva here's got all of 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:46.359 the information that we don't have. But I think that ultimately, 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.240 if you can get ten million a year and still 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.400 go every other week, I think that's the best bet 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.520 here Carlos, because I don't think it really matters all 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.719 that much whether the show was like taped. I mean, 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.480 we plug the show every week. On the show, I 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.480 got no idea whether it's live or tape. I'd ask you, 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.120 I kind of know whether you're gone or not, like, oh, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.559 Lance isn't here, it must be live this week. But 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.400 I don't think it makes much of a difference. I 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.000 don't think that if you're a hardcore TNA fan, and 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.960 this goes for AW in WWE as well. I mean, 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.080 you really can't look at the collision numbers and say, well, 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.160 you know, it always does better live. They've been live, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.520 they've been taped, they've been after this game, they've been 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.120 after that game. Doesn't seem to make that big a deal. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.640 Fans like to think it matters, and I'm sure it's 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.640 more exciting to go live, but it really doesn't matter. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.120 That there was a time when Raw went live every 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.360 other week, and I think having some live shows to 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.880 enable your TV to have spoiler free surprises can help, 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.160 but I don't think you need to be live every 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.760 single week to have that feel on your show. 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:56.640 Well. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.640 Also, I think in the nineties, I mean one of 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.200 the benefits to going every week is if the other 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.280 promotion and you know, we saw this happen, like if 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:10.520 WWE was taped and WCW was live, Bischoff would do 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.360 the thing where we would go on TV and give 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.520 the spoilers because the show was taped, and so you know, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.560 there was this feeling that, well, we have to go live. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.880 And you know you may remember this, but during the 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:26.079 Monday night Wars, I mean, each promotion had a TV 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.160 had the building where somebody was watching the other show, 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.800 and they were seeing what was going on live on 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.160 the other show, and sometimes they would try to react 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.439 to that in some way or another. So like from 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.760 that perspective, yeah, it's kind of important to go live. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.600 But I mean, if we're talking like Modern Day SmackDown, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.559 it's just on Friday night. Doesn't matter if it's live 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.600 or taped. I mean, if the show's worse because it's tape, 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.600 that's one thing. But you know, most fans, ninety percent 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.840 of fans, they can't tell the difference. Same with NXT, 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:58.600 same with AW Collision, whatever. So it's it's nice, it's fun. 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.720 I'm sure it's more exciting, but it's not needed. 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.480 I agree, and I even downplay that because it was, Oh, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.839 it's more exciting live. I'm like every wrestling show I've 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.880 done was live. There was an audience in the crowd, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.400 and it was live to me, and the excitement of 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.599 performing is for the people in the building. So to me, 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.360 it's not a deal breaker for a show for me 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:25.000 to watch or not. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.199 All right, we got NXT tonight, which has a t 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.959 and a crossover. Of course, we have got Hank and 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.480 Tank against Sean Spears and Nico Vance for those tag 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:41.920 team titles. We got the Gauntlet match Ricky Saints and 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:47.600 Ricky Smokes and Jackson Drake and Brad Baylor. Ricky Saints 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.760 has to run this gauntlet. Joe Hendry and Mike Santana 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:57.320 versus Tyson and Tyreek in a tag match, and Tavion 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:02.400 Heights tries to win his freedom from the No Quarter 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:07.120 Catch Crew by facing Charlie Dempsey. If he wins, he's out. 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.680 Then apparently if he uh, if he loses injury time 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.199 tacked onto this contract or something, I don't know, he 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:15.880 can't get out. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.200 He's iron clad. No Quarter Catch Crew contracts. 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.800 Iron iron clad. All Right, They've added a couple of 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.359 things for this weekend. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.720 Hopefully not more shows, well not yet, but who. 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.559 Knows, ay I was I was told that, like if 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:38.040 you think that wwe like learn something or maybe they 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.880 decided now we got more coming. So at any time 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:46.240 you're gonna hear about the next w W E uh 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:47.719 whatever you call it? 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:50.640 What what what? What? 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.400 What do we call it? The next uh, the next 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.319 battle versus a W, the next counter. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.400 Program next cluster of shows. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.880 The next counter programming attempt. We'll be hearing about that 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.400 fairly soon. But anyway, for Revolution, they've added a few things. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:10.000 So it is now for the women's tag team titles, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:15.560 the four Way is official, like for no reason whatsoever. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.440 Last week, Adam Pierce said that Raquel and Roxanne would 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:25.600 have to defend against teams from all four brands, three brands, 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.120 but he didn't mention the teams. And then this week, 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.839 you know, ask and Kyrie just asked, so he was like, 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.600 all right, so he had no plan, is my point. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.440 And then Soul Rukanzaria just got added, even though they're 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:45.959 coming off a loss. Although the loss, the reason that 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.680 they lost was to set up Soul Ruka versus Izzy 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:54.600 Dame on Saturday, so there was like a like win's 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.040 the losses mattered. It does actually rarely see this. We 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.080 had a match where wins and mattered and also did 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:06.240 it matter in the exact same match because they lost 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.839 a tag match to set up a singles match, but 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.319 in losing that tag match, they also got added to 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.559 a tag team title match, so anyway they're in it 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.160 as well. And then for the Battle Royal where the 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.600 winner gets a shot at the Clash in Paris, it's 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:28.040 Nikki Bella, Stephanie, Naddy, Maxine, Naya, Ivy Nile, and I 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.440 guess others, but those are the official names for that. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.440 Or maybe it's just like a seven woman Battle Royal. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:36.560 I hope it's more than that. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.960 Yeah, that'd be something else. That would be something else. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.360 You guys also got Slammiversary coming up, but thankfully it's 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:45.360 not this weekend. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.960 Yes, it's next weekend, Yes, the twentieth, I believe. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.400 Yes, Sunday the twentieth, with Trick Williams, Joe Hendry and 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.400 Santana in the three way the Nemoths versus the Hardy's 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.400 versus the Rascals versus First Class in a ladder match 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.600 for the tag titles yep. And for the X title. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.600 It's Champion Moose, it says here, which is that should 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.720 just be his name? Champion Moose against Leon Slater. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.800 And if Leon wins, he will become the youngest ex 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.120 Division champion of all time, dethroning Amazing Red. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.160 Really yeah, is he only twenty? 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:22.640 I guess so? 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:23.160 Wow? 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.560 College, Gee he is very young? 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.520 Yes, all right, both my kids are older. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:29.680 Wow. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.040 All right, we're gonna to a break everybody back in 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.240 a moment. We'll talk the rest of the news and 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.200 get into raw and more Wrestling Observer Live. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.760 You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.480 and Mike semper Vivi on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.120 Well, we got a lot of discussion in the chat 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.480 about the winner of this Battle Royal getting a title 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.000 shot at Clash in Paris, and this fella here says, 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:28.680 I hope Nikki Bella doesn't win. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.080 Well, all right, we'll. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:33.480 See what we can figure. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:34.560 Don't hold your breath. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.680 Does it Does it specify which champion they just get 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:39.320 a title shot? 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:40.800 Right? 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.560 I would imagine it's not like she's designated to a 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.640 brand where she'd have to stay specific. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.080 Well, I'm just looking at this because I just. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.080 Can't imagine she came back. Well, she didn't come back 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.000 for a spot in the Battle Royal. She came back 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:56.760 for a program. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.320 Well, originally it was going to be Raquel and Live 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:06.560 versus the Bellas, okay for the tag titles. So the 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.840 original idea did not involve her getting a title match 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:12.040 at Clash in Paris. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.280 Okay, So. 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.520 Originally the winner of the Battle Royal was not going 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.560 to be Nikki Bella. But the original idea did have 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:27.240 her wrestling for a title, and now she's not, So 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.720 I think there is a pretty good chance that she 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:36.200 is winning the Battle Royal. Now. She could win the 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:40.240 Battle Royal and then ask for a tag team title 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.359 shot at Clash in Paris with Brie and then they 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.120 face whoever ends up with the tag team titles coming 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:48.240 out of the show. They could do that. 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.479 It just seems that her coming back getting laid out 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.160 by Live and then losing in a Battle Royal seems 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.800 like a big whoop tee doo crap dump on poor 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.280 Nicki Bella. That would be a pretty sad way to 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:04.680 come back. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.480 Last night, we were talking about this and the question 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.800 was asked, were Nicki and Brie going to win the 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.960 tag titles, and Dave said, no, he didn't think so, 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:21.040 because you know, they're part timers, so to speak. But 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:26.119 it was it was noted to me today that compared 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.320 to the old days, right now, everybody's a part timer. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.240 I mean literally, if they won the tag team titles, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.040 what They're not going to go on the road. There's 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.840 no house shows, you know, they'd have to show up 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.440 for Raw once a week and probably do a match 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.600 once one match a month. So I certainly would not 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.840 rule out the idea. I wouldn't rule out a lot 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.080 of ideas. I would not rule out that Nicky could 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.919 win and then challenge for the tag titles with her 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.160 sister at Clash in Paris, and I could not rule 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:01.200 out Nicki winning and challenging for the world title, which 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:09.240 would be I guess I'm presuming that Rhea wins, and 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:14.160 I would be stunned if Tiffany lost, although I guess, 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.880 you know, there's a lot of there's two briefcases out there, 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.359 so there's a lot of stuff that could happen this weekend. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.639 Trish could win and then get cashed in on I 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.480 don't think that's gonna happen, because I think if Naomi 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.919 cash is in on somebody, it would be on Jade 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.159 after she would beat Tiffany at SummerSlam. No, but they 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:32.800 can do anything. 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:34.800 Don't the money in the bank. People have to cash 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.120 in on their specific brand or are they allowed to jump? 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:43.840 I think that, well, there's no rule, the rules, whatever 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:44.720 they want the rule to be. 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.160 This year, Well there is a rule, they just don't 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:47.720 abide by it. 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.359 Well there's not a rule. That's the point. Like some 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:55.000 years that's kind of the rule. But Seth, it was 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.360 like in the last week, Seth did a promo where 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.800 he basically said he was eyeball both titles, meaning he 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.040 could cash in on anybody. So I don't think this 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.680 year you have to cash in on somebody on your brand. 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.760 And then uh, there's also and everyone's talking about Goldberg 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:17.159 that dude was over brother on raw. I do not 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.760 I do not discount the possibility that he wins the 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.920 world title and then is immediately cashed in on by 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.760 Seth and Seth takes the belt. I think that's possible. 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.800 Not saying it's gonna happen. I think it's possible. So 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:34.320 we'll see. 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.280 Anything can happen in the w WWE I almost said 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.240 WWF okay. 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:45.000 A couple of news notes, Seth and Becky had their 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.840 beach house broken into. That sucks. They were they were 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:54.440 in Providence for raw. No arrests made yet they busted 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:59.200 through the homes rear slider and took cash and then 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.680 I guess made the nine to one one call, so 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:08.959 somehow he found out. The investigation remains ongoing. We got 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.840 an update on Janelle and uh, you know this is 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:18.680 another weird one Mendela effect? Am I wrong that this 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:25.639 doctor was Carlton Kolker for like a year? Am I 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:26.360 the only one? 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:27.360 Now? 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.440 Carlin the tea has vanished? 0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:32.359 No, I think it was always that. I think you 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:33.119 inserted the T. 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:34.000 Are you sure? 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:34.720 No? 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.200 Because the other one was you know the other. The 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:41.320 other Mendel effect is is Tony Kahan and Nick Khan, 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:46.600 who I could have sworn originally had two different spellings 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.600 of their last name, and now their last name is 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:55.520 spelled the same. Am I wrong? Chat? Help me out 0:21:55.560 --> 0:22:01.320 here anyway? And a ruling announced on Monday, Colleen Zingaro, 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.879 the judge, ruled in favor of Janelle Grant's Bill of 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:09.520 discovery against Carlin Kolker and Pete Wellness wearing both the 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:15.320 plaintive and defendants to submit scheduling order proposals. So, uh, 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.040 she's getting a discovery here. 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:21.760 It always seemed odd to me that they were trying 0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:24.240 to deny her access to her own health records. 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:30.520 Well, it's also weird. This one is really weird because 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:36.320 she claims I got all these records that he didn't 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:41.719 give me. Okay, he claims, no, I gave you every record, 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:45.800 and it's like this should be open and shut. Did 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:49.920 he or didn't he? I mean, there's no halfway. 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.800 I mean, but if he did, so, just do it again. 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.720 I guess it's her records. 0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:02.080 I guess. But anyway, that's the update. And then we've 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:08.960 got Nicki Bella on Live with Kelly and Mark for 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:13.399 an appearance on Tuesday morning, and there was a lot 0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:15.560 of discussion about, you know, why they choose Nicki Bella, 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:19.200 why they choose Nicki Bella and uh, you know as 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.080 supposed to Ria Ripley or somebody like that. And you know, 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:27.440 somebody there said, well Nicki, uh, you know, she's she's 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:33.080 already done a lot with uh whatever network this is on. 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.960 So like everybody knows her, so she's a good person 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.600 to send there. But anyway, she was she was talking 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:45.119 about about Brie. She told Kelly and Mark that her 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.800 return to w W will only be complete once the 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.600
