There's one, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.360 like one county over and I don't really have the 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.000 desire to drive that far on the weekend, but I 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.119 used to. Before I moved down to Virginia. I played 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.440 on a team with my buddies in Jersey with the 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:33.080 John Pass a two man power trip him, his brother, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.880 you know, a bunch of our friends and we had 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.880 a ball. It was great and we were probably probably 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.040 the worst team in the league, but it was more 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.039 about the fighting. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.840 The fighting, yeah, but the. 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.720 Fighting we had on the team and you know, the 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.880 you know, the bickering, but then the drinking afterwards and 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.239 it was it was always some of the best memories 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.280 that I think we had over a three year period. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.159 But yeah, but and if you look at that, I've 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.360 still played over that time where they probably haven't. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.640 But it's just I would love to, but it's just 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:04.480 it's nothing close. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:10.239 Yeah, Well, this week we we actually joined a church. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.200 I know, we've just you know, we've just just a 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.960 little bit in the past.

My husband had gone there probably like 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.560 two or three weeks ago to register and mentioned about 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.880 like how my mom, you know, isn't doing well and 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:38.919 is sick, and how we we wanted to get annoying 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.840 of the six h slash last rights for her just 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.599 in case go forbid something happens, you know, And you know, 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.400 we left our information there, and I'm thinking, oh, they'll 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.599 call when they're ready to send somebody over or something 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:58.080 like that. And I'm doing housework and there's a knock 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:58.640 at the door. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:00.800 And I do have a sign on. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.520 The door that says no soliciting, so anytime somebody knocks, 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:04.479 I'm pissed. 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.640 I'm like, read the sign. 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.440 Box, you go find that cane that you have stories yeah, 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.760 the door, Like I still know how to use this. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.200 I'm about to open a can of whoop as on 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.200 someone when they bring the bellart or give me a 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.640 knock at the door. Knock at the door, and I 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.480 go over and I open the door and it's this 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:28.560 little priest. And it took me about ten seconds and 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.680 I said yes, and he says hello, and then it 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.279 hit me and I'm just like, oh, this must be 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:36.159 the priest from. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.159 The new parish. So I, you know, I introduced myself. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.359 I'd let him in obviously. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.640 He stayed about thirty minutes and sat with my mom 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.560 and she was thrilled, you know, and he asked permission 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.159 to you know, from her, to anoint her and give 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.040 her a confession, and I had. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:56.640 To leave the room. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.600 He says, we need privacy for this. I'm thinking, what 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.240 the heck that she have to confession? She doesn't move 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.279 like she's ninety three, but we you know, we have 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.440 that monitor, so I heard everything. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.360 Anyway, she's hooked up to a baby monitor. 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:16.840 But he was so loving and nice with her, and 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.520 he kissed her on the forehead when he was done, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.280 and she was like, well, can I get communion? And 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.400 he says, I don't have communion with me, but I'll 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:26.920 you know, I'll come back whenever. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.000 You want and see you. And he hugged me twice. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.320 He gave my husband a hug, and he went up 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.320 to my kids and he shook their hands and touched 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.560 their foreheads and stuff like that. So he's a very 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.640 very nice He seems like a very very nice priest 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:42.040 like him. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.000 Then we went and this was for. 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.040 The CCD classes, so we enrolled them in CCD and 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.720 you know, my kids are a little. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.560 Behind in that aspect. 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.440 So we're doing CCD through this summer and then we 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.120 have the option to go in person. 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.840 They're very flexible. They said, you can. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.960 Come one week, stay home one week, you can do 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.200 it all from home. You got one kid, come in, 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.280 one kid, stay home, whatever you want. So we don't 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.480 have to decide anything until August, and we're just taking 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.400 each lesson day by day and going over stuff with 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.840 them and we'll see what happens, you know, in August. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.880 But I was very disappointed because they don't have a 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:28.480 youth group or pyramidstry group for the older kids, which 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:33.360 would be my daughter. They do have to do like 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:39.559 volunteer work, she said, like they go to after Christmas, 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.400 they'll go to the cemetery and they'll collect the flowers 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:47.120 off of the headstones. They make sandwiches for the homeless 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:51.280 and distribute to them at a shelter. They have bingo 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.960 that they can play, so there are opportunities where she 0:08:55.120 --> 0:09:00.280 can meet other children, which is great, not for my son. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.520 Yet they don't do that until they're like eighth grade. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.920 So I feel better, you know that we did this. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.040 It's one step that I can check off my list 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:15.280 of one hundred things to. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.000 Do and maybe, you know, maybe it'll help go into church. 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:19.640 I don't know. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.760 I know that's you know, some people believe in it, 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.199 some people don't. We got away from it during COVID, 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.679 a little before COVID, to be honest with you, but jeez, 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.640 anything that brings me to inner peace right now, I 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.920 am open for it, you. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:40.239 Know, because it's it's rough, it's been rough. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.000 And I just want I want calmness. I just want happiness. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.599 So maybe the church will help. I don't know, but 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.920 they might. And you know, we're we're kind of hate 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.120 to use the word stuck, but we're committed for three 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.960 years because it's gonna take my on three years to 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.960 get his sacraments. My daughter only has like she'll make 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.640 confirmation in March and then she's done. She doesn't have 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.000 to tend classes anymore. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.160 But you know, she got the path, yeah, exactly. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.400 She started off the Catholic school, so she has her 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.000 communion and penance and and all that stuff. And my son, 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.600 because of the approxia, he had to go to the 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.000 public school with the IP and. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.760 You know, he's a little behind. So I was saying, 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.360 you know, communion is second grade. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.320 My son's going into sixth grade and he's going on 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:38.040 five to four. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:39.720 He's huge like his dad. 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.160 So I said, well, does he have to be with 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.720 the second graders, like can he make it on his own, 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.959 like during church or something?

We go 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.720 through news obviously, we talk about news. We talk about 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.720 old stories. You know, we revisit stories, We go back 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:58.280 and watch old matches, we talk about the olden days 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.960 of your we talk about ECBA. 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:01.840 But you know what I've. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.760 Seen going through the dirt sheets and looking up stories 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:11.280 is I'm just seeing so many regurgitated news items that 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.680 we've heard a million times being. 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.880 Reprocessed and put back out as news. 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:22.120 Now, I understand as the years go by and people 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.120 are interviewed that the same stories are going to be 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.600 discussed again. And obviously you get interviewed a lot, the 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.400 same questions are asked, the same stories are retold, the 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:38.440 same articles are written. As somebody who gets interviewed, is 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:43.440 it frustrating to answer those questions? Because as a reader, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.480 as somebody, because literally just going through a website and 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:52.520 clicking and looking for stories, I'm going through and I'm seeing, Okay, 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.680 why are they asking the same question? And I'm reading 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.040 the same article again? Why are they asking this guy 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.600 the same question? And I'm reading the same article again. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.720 It gets to be redundant and it's a little frustrating. 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.240 Does it get frustrated for you? 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:05.640 No? And I'll tell you why. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:13.400 Because everybody that is a reporter is on their own platform, right. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.560 They have their own website, they have their own podcast, 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:20.880 whatever you know, news paper, whatever, whatever they're doing, it's 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.400 their own. So for them, this is the first time 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.440 that they're speaking to me or any other talent out there. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.280 There's always going to be that at least one person 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.000 who hasn't heard this story or this is news to me, 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.600 or this is new I never knew you did that, 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:47.240 blah blah blah. As time goes on, your audience grows. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:52.280 If you are hustling out there. I put up a 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:57.000 picture that somebody tweeted at me, and I retweeted it, 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:02.200 and you know, now, I'm over forty eight followers on Twitter. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.760 I gained a bunch of followers just because of this picture. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.920 People were like, it's got over two thousand likes. It's 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.560 I think it was seen almost four hundred thousand impressions 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:21.080 or something like something ridiculous like that. But people, I've 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.760 never seen this picture before and it's been out there forever. 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.960 So you're always gonna get that one person who hasn't 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:32.159 heard that story or who didn't know this fact about you. 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.760 So for me, I don't mind retelling a story because 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.320 maybe there's somebody out there who hasn't heard it, you know, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:47.199 and sometimes you know somebody's career might not have a 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.320 lot in it, and what. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.720 Are you going to talk about? You hit the important 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.040 points right. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.560 And you know, I mean, I've been in the game 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:02.000 for thirty years, but my success as primarily was in ECW. 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.800 So you have seven years of content you can talk about. 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.760 But you know, somebody like Haul Cogan has like I 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:15.000 don't know, forty plus, fifty years whatever however long, He's 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.440 been in the business way more content than I do. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.960 And that's a great example because that's one of the 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.760 ones I saw that frustrated me because Hulk Hogan's got a. 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:28.960 Forty year plus palette of things to ask him. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.720 Why am I reading Hulk Hogan on body slamming Andre 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.240 the Giant, Because that's. 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.800 One of the major things that he's known for. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.200 That was a major standout at that pay per view 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.879 or that show, or you know wherever. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:46.000 He did that. 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:51.960 People like to talk about that. These journalists are pinpointing 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:57.119 important events that happened in these people's careers. Now, when 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.040 we have guests on the show in the beginning, I 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:05.679 so gun ho on going on their wiki and studying 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.600 and doing a timeline. Well, you were trained by this 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:10.360 guy and you did this, and you did that blah 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:14.359 blah blah. If I know a person, I kind of 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:19.760 think that the approach I'm taking nowadays is more interesting. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.200 I like to know more so. 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.800 Private stuff if they'll open up about it, things that 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.359 make them happy, hobbies that they do, you know, what 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.640 currently are you doing? What are you watching on TV? 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:38.479 Blah blah blah. That kind of stuff, to me is 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:42.480 more relevant because they've done all these other interviews where 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.040 they've been asked the same questions over and over again. 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.840 So I try to avoid that if I can. Now. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.600 Sometimes we get a guest that I've never met, I 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:51.600 don't know much about. 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:54.200 I have to go to Wiki and I go down 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.600 the line because I don't know them as a person. 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.119 What am I supposed to talk about? 0:19:58.520 --> 0:19:58.639 Right? 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.680 You know what I mean? I like the more personal 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:02.720 interviews where you. 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.040 Can talk about your kids, or you can talk you know, 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.480 if you're if you're comfortable with that, your home life 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.679 kind of stuff outside of the box. I've stated a 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.280 million times I'm a bigger fan of the reality aspect 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.359 of wrestling than I am of the actual wrestling product 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:19.160 that they're putting out. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.040 I'll give you an example. I just watched the whole 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:28.480 season of the ae W. Oh shoot, what is it called? 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:29.399 Ae W? 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:36.720 The reality show they put out the Cody I'm sorry. 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:37.800 Was it about Cody Rhodes? 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.800 No, No, it was it was how many episodes? It 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.560 was either six or eight episodes? 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:51.840 They follow Britt Baker and Adam Cole, Sammy and Tay 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:57.639 Who else was the box pinpoint on those three? And 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.440 then Ruby so and. 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.200 Uh there, No, I'm not familiar. 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:10.000 Yeah it was. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.440
