Speaker 1: hardcore icon, the Sandman, also get into that. Awesome made
Speaker 1: my weekend. I'm raving about him. He was so great.
Speaker 2: Why because he was loud and argued with faith so awesome.
Speaker 1: Honestly, the amount of times that I've been around him
Speaker 1: at conventions, that was my favorite time. But we'll get
Speaker 1: into it. But how are you doing.
Speaker 3: Today, buddy?
Speaker 2: I'm doing well. I'm excited for a nice long, uh

Speaker 2: that the long weekend, try and relax.
Speaker 1: You are we gonna let the music play. Is this
Speaker 1: new jaz We're gonna let.

Speaker 1: I let it die.
Speaker 2: I think I think you should just yeah, there you go,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 1: No, I let it play up.
Speaker 2: He said it at the he said, that's good. Yes,
Speaker 2: And I'm looking forward. We put the pool up and
Speaker 2: opened it and it's a little chilly, a little too
Speaker 2: chilly to go in. But I think next week it's
Speaker 2: like next Friday. I think its supposed to be like
Speaker 2: eighty eight degrees, so I think that might be your Yeah,
Speaker 2: that might be our first pool day. So I'm excited.
Speaker 2: I love summer. It's my favorite, my favorite season, and
Speaker 2: I love just panning and hanging out by the pool.
Speaker 1: Very nice. When I was with you last weekend, it
Speaker 1: was raining. Proverbial cats.
Speaker 2: Let me just sorry. Well now we're talking about next week.
Speaker 2: Last weekend so much so we we Sam and and I,
Speaker 2: you know, we're buddies. We ride together when we can,
Speaker 2: and he comes to my house, he picks me up.
Speaker 2: We start jaw jacket in the car, you know, laughing
Speaker 2: our asses off, and it's raining and he's driving, and
Speaker 2: when you're driving sometimes the meeting in the you know,
Speaker 2: it cuts off the lanes. He swears that Storyason, why
Speaker 2: we missed the exit because we couldn't get over to
Speaker 2: get the exit. First off, he said the exit wasn't there,
Speaker 2: and I said, are you out of your mind? What
Speaker 2: did they just closed the exit off or move the exit?
Speaker 2: Of course the exit's there, and he was like nope, nope,
Speaker 2: there was no exit and I said, yeah, there's an
Speaker 2: exit for it because it said take this exit. Then
Speaker 2: he blamed it on we couldn't get over. We finally
Speaker 2: got there, Like what time did we get there? Ten
Speaker 2: after ten or something? We left him plenty. Well, I
Speaker 2: told him to be at my house by a fifteen,
Speaker 2: but he didn't get there until like I'm throwing him
Speaker 2: under the bus totally. He didn't get to my house
Speaker 2: till the most like twenty of something like that, maybe
Speaker 2: twenty five of something. But anyway, it was raining and
Speaker 2: he decides to park the car across the parking lot,
Speaker 2: which was like a football field away from the front door.
Speaker 2: He says, i'll walk, I'll drop you off first, and
Speaker 2: I was like, no, I'll walk with you. I don't
Speaker 2: want to walk by yourself, you know, and uh he says,
Speaker 2: I have an umbrella. So I was like great, But
Speaker 2: then he tells me, well, I have stuff to do
Speaker 2: when he parks the car, so I'm going to be
Speaker 2: a while, and I was like, well, let me just
Speaker 2: go walk so they know we're here. Well, I didn't
Speaker 2: take the umbrella. I got rained on so badly my
Speaker 2: hair from the hairsprite. It was crunchy because the water
Speaker 2: hit it. It was nasty. I was soaking wet. And
Speaker 2: then he comes walking over ten minutes later with an
Speaker 2: umbrella and he goes, oh, I had a second umbrella.
Speaker 2: I can really, I because you could have gave it
Speaker 2: to me. Jerk. Yeah. So that was that. So we
Speaker 2: finally got there, and then I don't I mean, what
Speaker 2: are your honest thoughts about the convention?
Speaker 1: Uh, definitely slower than expected, for sure, first time convention
Speaker 1: time first, so yes, and talk to the promoter during
Speaker 1: the week. He also admitted the rooms were garbage. He
Speaker 1: did not like the rooms and how they were set up,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, first time, so you know they
Speaker 1: were going to be kings that needed to be worked out.
Speaker 1: For sure. Did not like the separation of talent from
Speaker 1: one level to the next, very confusing for patrons. But
Speaker 1: you know, also a clear clear difference in travel from
Speaker 1: if you're an upstairs person to a downstairs person, you
Speaker 1: might just leave right out the front door without seeing
Speaker 1: where the rest of the people are.
Speaker 2: The traffic when they came in the door, you had
Speaker 2: people that were in the aisleway. But then you had
Speaker 2: the hidden forbidden room, which we were, but no one
Speaker 2: knew and there were no there was no speaker, so
Speaker 2: they couldn't make announcements. People had told me, I didn't
Speaker 2: know where you were.
Speaker 1: The ECW room is webble dubbs.
Speaker 2: Literally, I did not know where you were. And I
Speaker 2: was like, could you have asked somebody? Like, honestly, I
Speaker 2: think I had to. I should have stood. I should
Speaker 2: have been a wacky noodle like they have it the
Speaker 2: car car washes come on in like we we should
Speaker 2: have had somebody outside telling people there are people in
Speaker 2: this room right here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I you know, and I was thinking about
Speaker 1: it afterwards. You know, there was a door right when
Speaker 1: you came in through the double doors. There was a
Speaker 1: door like behind where the ticket lady was. Why didn't
Speaker 1: they just let people walk through that door.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Well, no one knew we were in
Speaker 2: that room.
Speaker 1: You know, like if you if you look through the
Speaker 1: door you see Jason Knight sitting right there, like, hey,
Speaker 1: it was frustrating.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I was right there, Jason, Jason Knight was the championship
Speaker 1: belt sitting right I know it.
Speaker 2: I know, I was very, very frustrated that day. It was, uh,
Speaker 2: it was an experience, I'll say that. It just I
Speaker 2: appreciate him having us there, you know, but it was
Speaker 2: just not run properly.
Speaker 1: No, it was so I mean, but that's not where
Speaker 1: it started. I mean then then when the frustration started
Speaker 1: to settle in, that's when the Sandman really he went
Speaker 1: into uh yeah, he went into rare territory there. He
Speaker 1: he started to just like kind of go into his
Speaker 1: own world.
Speaker 3: And he was hot for for again, it was he
Speaker 3: was hot.
Speaker 2: He took it upon himself to go wander and see,
Speaker 2: I'm afraid to do that because I'm afraid I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna find my way back, especially in the Hitden Forbidden room.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know where the hell I was. He
Speaker 2: went upstairs and was walking around, and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: people were seeing him walking around. That's what I should
Speaker 2: have did. I should have made myself seen, you know.
Speaker 2: But he he he was pissed off, like he said, man,
Speaker 2: this was this was the ships. It should have been
Speaker 2: run so much better.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, he went upstairs and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, gave him a couple of minutes. I went
Speaker 1: up to look for him. I went to go find him.
Speaker 1: I saw the promoter in the stairwell and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: I go, you got to move us. I was like,
Speaker 1: we're in a horrible spot. I go, can we go
Speaker 1: right there? And it was in the stairwell there was
Speaker 1: this little space. He goes, now a fire code. We
Speaker 1: can't put you there. I go, well, where I go?
Speaker 1: This room is terrible.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Hack was right behind him. So
Speaker 1: when I stopped, Hack goes, yo, that room sucks. There's
Speaker 1: no that's the fucking place for us to go to.
Speaker 1: People don't know where down there. And I had the
Speaker 1: promoter froze and was like, I'm going the best dyke gun.
Speaker 2: He didn't.
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know. I'm going the best dyke
Speaker 1: gun then, you know, and then Hack was like he's
Speaker 1: got duck clips.
Speaker 2: That guy he's the yelps oh Jesus to me, if
Speaker 2: like you're gonna run something, you should go through the building.
Speaker 2: And scope it out and see what the setup is,
Speaker 2: because usually they'll have the tables lined up. People's names
Speaker 2: are on the tables where you're supposed to sit. He
Speaker 2: didn't do this.
Speaker 1: I see. I don't know if he thought I didn't.
Speaker 1: We didn't talk about that when I talked to him
Speaker 1: the other day, you know, we just exchanged our pleasantries.
Speaker 1: He thanked me for traveling, you know, up from Virginia,
Speaker 1: and I appreciated that, and you know, nice, nice ride,
Speaker 1: and he uh, I don't know if he thought that
Speaker 1: everybody was gonna be downstairs, like in the hallway, maybe
Speaker 1: in towards the like ice hockey area or something. There
Speaker 1: was also something like weird, like did you see off
Speaker 1: to the right when you came in, there was like
Speaker 1: a lounge area like leather. Yeah, there was a lounge
Speaker 1: area like leather chairs and like a bar down there.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you thought maybe it was
Speaker 1: gonna be downstairs, but upstairs it was honestly, you want
Speaker 1: to talk, fire code is packed in like sardines up there.
Speaker 1: You couldn't move you like this, So that's where like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of people up there, but fan experience,
Speaker 1: you were like oh oh, there's ta talka.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's very you know. I while I appreciate
Speaker 2: him having us, I don't want to sound like, you know, ungrateful.
Speaker 2: I was happy to come and be a part of it.
Speaker 2: But it's just very frustrating for talent when the you know,
Speaker 2: the venue is set up in a way that you're
Speaker 2: not seen. Yeah, and it's it's you can't do anything
Speaker 2: about it, you know, And and nobody, no one listens
Speaker 2: to you. There's no PA system, they can't make announcements.
Speaker 2: Oh so and so's in this room. You know. Not
Speaker 2: everybody has social media. So maybe they didn't see, you know,
Speaker 2: because I tried to say, well, we're in the room
Speaker 2: behind ends yeah, Flip Gordon.
Speaker 1: Who didn't I mean I didn't even see certain guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know.
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 1: It is not a knock on anybody or or their
Speaker 1: business or whatever. There were certain guys that I didn't
Speaker 1: see any activity throughout the day. I know, I was,
Speaker 1: I was. You guys, we were busy for for that
Speaker 1: being a tough room. You guys were relatively busy the
Speaker 1: entire time we were there. For what it was. There
Speaker 1: were guys that I looked around and I was like,
Speaker 1: I didn't see a single soul walk through their area,
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, that is that is a
Speaker 1: travesty that they took their time and Flip Gordon Flip Wilson.
Speaker 4: Flip Gordon Wilson, the old comedian is an international superstar
Speaker 4: current you know, and the Bullet Club I didn't really see,
Speaker 4: and I saw him streaming on Instagram and doing I
Speaker 4: didn't every.
Speaker 1: Time I turned around, he was sitting on his phone.
Speaker 1: I didn't even see people go because they were all
Speaker 1: going upstairs. And that that was one thing I thought
Speaker 1: was was very poorly run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was very nice. This was the first time
Speaker 2: I met him, by the way, and he was extremely
Speaker 2: nice to me, So I like him a lot. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just very frustrating and I was disappointed, you know,
Speaker 2: Like you said, I did well for what it was,
Speaker 2: but gosh, you know, you want everybody to do well,
Speaker 2: and you want the promoter to do well. So he
Speaker 2: runs another one, and hopefully he learned from his mistakes,
Speaker 2: and if he does run again, he's he should pick
Speaker 2: a better venue because that one that's not a convention venue,
Speaker 2: that is.
Speaker 1: No or be on the ice hockey rink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I've done the one ice hockey and you
Speaker 2: can sit up tables going all the way around. Ye,
Speaker 2: I mean that would have been a lot that are
Speaker 2: plenty of room. Who'd been a little chilly, but who
Speaker 2: cares if you're making some you don't care.
Speaker 1: Especially for the ladies for a little chili. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it just it could have been a lot better.
Speaker 2: But you live and you learn, so hopefully he learned.
Speaker 3: And but hack was just oh, it was so great.
Speaker 2: He's either like and I love him, you know, he's
Speaker 2: one of my dearest friends, right, But he is either
Speaker 2: super charming or he will rip your face off mode
Speaker 2: like he did with the with the guy with the
Speaker 2: forty two chairs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that was great. That was awesome.
Speaker 2: And the guy was legit scared and he's like, I
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go over here now. It's like you're
Speaker 2: taking too long. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Oh it was you know, I think finally, after all
Speaker 1: these years, you know, I mean I've done shows with
Speaker 1: him at convention since like twenty sixteen, I think finally,
Speaker 1: I think he finally likes me.
Speaker 3: He doesn't know your name, I know he doesn't, and
Speaker 3: I don't, he.
Speaker 2: Said, you know what, I'll call him. I'll call him Virginia.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 2: I can't because I can't remember his name and I
Speaker 2: don't remember where I met him before.
Speaker 1: I don't care. But he likes I feel like he
Speaker 1: likes me.
Speaker 2: Now, well, I well, I'll have to remind me to
Speaker 2: tell you something off off.
Speaker 1: He did not like my driving tips though I know that,
Speaker 1: but that's that's besides the point.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: We I feel like I made him laugh a couple
Speaker 1: of times, and that's all I he He cracked me
Speaker 1: up so much during the day. And then when we
Speaker 1: got back to where I was staying, my daughter was
Speaker 1: in the garage and he pulled into the driveway at
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour and he screams out the window, YO,
Speaker 1: put the coffee on, we're coming in. My favorite line
Speaker 1: of the weekend it was I love that. I love
Speaker 1: seeing you guys. It was great. We actually got to
Speaker 1: talk more, I think than we had at any other
Speaker 1: show I've scene. But that was not because of the crowd,
Speaker 1: but we just were doing a lot of business. Still
Speaker 1: did not get our picture though, together. I know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't I can't suggest it. That's you.
Speaker 1: I know, I forgot. I was taking pictures with.
Speaker 2: Everybody promoter and who I didn't know was the promoter
Speaker 2: because you didn't introduce me to him. And I made
Speaker 2: a face because I was holding all my stuff and
Speaker 2: You're like, can you take a picture with this guy?
Speaker 2: And I was like, And then when I realized it
Speaker 2: was I shook his hand and I was like, thanks
Speaker 2: for having us here.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought, I said, Richie. I thought I said
Speaker 1: Richie the promoter. I thought, No, I didn't.
Speaker 2: If you did, I didn't hear you say that. But
Speaker 2: I had like a bunch of stuff in my hand.
Speaker 2: I had my jacket on when I was ready to
Speaker 2: walk out the door.
Speaker 1: I like that jacket.
Speaker 3: By the way, that was a jacket.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a cute jacket.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: But overall, I mean, you know, just getting the opportunity
Speaker 2: to work is great. I enjoy conventions, you know, it's
Speaker 2: my favorite thing to do to make a buck. But
Speaker 2: just look into them and run them correctly, so the
Speaker 2: talent's happy and everybody makes a dime.
Speaker 3: You know, that's right, It's just my two cents.
Speaker 1: Home The homecoming was all good. Speaking of homecomings, not
Speaker 1: necessarily a homecoming, but it was in the guy's hometown.
Speaker 1: Guy you know very well was on TV this week
Speaker 1: in the wrestling world. Yeah, I didn't know this. I
Speaker 1: saw the tweet point we're doing audio, but I'm pointing, Uh,
Speaker 1: Saboo making a shocking ae W debut is going to
Speaker 1: be in the corner of Adam Cole and Roger Strong,
Speaker 1: I think it is, or just Adam Cole to help
Speaker 1: against Chris Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society. It's pretty
Speaker 1: big get there for AW Saboo making his Awbut what
Speaker 1: did you think about your old buddy there popping up
Speaker 1: on AWTV?
Speaker 2: I loved it. I My husband actually sent it to
Speaker 2: me because I, you know, I don't watch, but he
Speaker 2: sent it to me after it happened, and I got
Speaker 2: so happy watching the clip because I thought Saboo looked phenomenal,
Speaker 2: he looked great, healthy, he got a great response, and
Speaker 2: he is booked for Double or Nothing, which is May
Speaker 2: twenty eighth, this weekend. And you know, I feel like
Speaker 2: I was hoping, is it this weekend or next weekend? Uh?
Speaker 1: What's the date?
Speaker 2: May twenty eighth?
Speaker 1: What is it today? This weekend?
Speaker 2: That's this weekend, right yep. So I said to myself,
Speaker 2: I wonder if this is a one off or if
Speaker 2: he got signed and I will read you the response
Speaker 2: that Tony Kange, which made me sad. He said, I
Speaker 2: think it would likely be a one off appearance. He
Speaker 2: said that during the pre Double or Nothing media call. Uh.
Speaker 2: He said, a lot of fans were excited to see Saboo.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be somebody regularly stepping
Speaker 2: into the ring to compete, but under the right circumstances
Speaker 2: this goes well, then potentially he could come back and
Speaker 2: make other guests appearances. I think overall very positively received
Speaker 2: him coming in and making a surprise appearance, so I
Speaker 2: think I'd be open to him coming back. But it's
Speaker 2: not something I see as a regular occurrence either. It
Speaker 2: was a very special moment to see Sabu. I got
Speaker 2: a text from my dad this morning saying, Sabou blast
Speaker 2: from the past because my dad actually took me to
Speaker 2: see Sabou wrestle when I was thirteen years old, and
Speaker 2: the match we saw him in for the first time
Speaker 2: ever was Sabu versus Chris Jericho. It was the only
Speaker 2: time they ever wrestled, and now they'll be both in
Speaker 2: the same ring and Saboo will be the special enforcer
Speaker 2: for the unsanctioned match Adam Cole versus Chris Jericho.
Speaker 3: This weekend.
Speaker 2: So, you know, as I know, he doesn't wrestle on
Speaker 2: the regular. I was hoping maybe they would sign him
Speaker 2: to be a character, do something, but you never know.
Speaker 2: I mean, this could be foot in the door. If
Speaker 2: it does well and he's over enough and they keep
Speaker 2: bringing him back, maybe they'll use him more. A guy
Speaker 2: like Saboo deserves a spot somewhere because he's done so
Speaker 2: much for the wrestling business. In my opinion, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: And there's that argument like, oh, he's fifty eight years old,
Speaker 2: he can't go anymore. Well, okay, because of the way
Speaker 2: he wrestled, I get it. You know, he's beat up,
Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean he's he's done in the wrestling business.
Speaker 2: There are so many other things that he can do,
Speaker 2: and just seeing him made my heart happy because he
Speaker 2: deserves it. He deserves the spotlight, he deserves to be seen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And you know, well, obviously it's been
Speaker 1: said that Tony's a huge ECW fan. He mentions that match.
Speaker 1: Did you get happen? To see what Bully Ray had
Speaker 1: to say about the OPI I did not. Bully had
Speaker 1: a different take. Bully said that he thought it was
Speaker 1: a surprise for the sake of a surprise, and when
Speaker 1: it comes to surprises, AW does it so much that
Speaker 1: he thinks it's lost a little luster not to say
Speaker 1: about Saboo that it wasn't cool to see him as
Speaker 1: a person who said it in this business and started
Speaker 1: acw Sabou being the top, being a top guy who
Speaker 1: has become him, who has become friendly with Saboo and
Speaker 1: has worked with Saboo, YadA, YadA, knowing the difficult times
Speaker 1: that he's been through in the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: It was good to see him. So it's great to
Speaker 1: see him on TV. But AW does this so much
Speaker 1: that it's a surprise for the sake of a surprise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but surprises are nice.
Speaker 1: I thought this was a cool one. I thought this
Speaker 1: one stood out a little bit.
Speaker 3: Mike.
Speaker 2: If you sit there as an AAW fan and you're
Speaker 2: just saying to yourself, Oh, I wonder who the surprise
Speaker 2: is going to be tonight, You know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know how many wrestling fans actually sit there
Speaker 2: and expect something to happen every week. I get what
Speaker 2: Bubba's saying because maybe they you know, maybe they do
Speaker 2: overdo it with bringing people in, But I think it
Speaker 2: kind of adds that element of like, oh damn, I
Speaker 2: never expected to see Saboo there, Like that would be
Speaker 2: the last name I thought they would bring in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, yes, would be too
Speaker 1: afraid of him.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I mean for me, like, I
Speaker 2: like to see legends brought in and get a payday
Speaker 2: and do something and be like put in a positive light.
Speaker 2: I like that, So I'm not opposed to surprises in
Speaker 2: bringing you know, legends, old timers, people that aren't currently
Speaker 2: on the roster. I like that kind of stuff. I
Speaker 2: think it keeps it new. I think it keeps it
Speaker 2: fresh because again, you never know what's gonna happen. And
Speaker 2: that's the way I look at it. I could see
Speaker 2: where Bubba's coming from too, But it doesn't hurt the product.
Speaker 2: It doesn't hurt the performers that are already there. I
Speaker 2: think it kind of enhances it.
Speaker 1: See this is something where you know, you got somebody
Speaker 1: like a Taz now on the AW roster obviously. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jerry Lynn works backstage. Now you got Saboo makes another
Speaker 1: one off appearance here for them is Tony's love for ECW?
Speaker 1: Is it too much of a callback or do you feel,
Speaker 1: being an alum, that this is the best homage that
Speaker 1: we've got to ECW that there's pretty much been since
Speaker 1: the closure.
Speaker 2: I don't feel it's it's an homage to E. CW.
Speaker 2: I feel that there's talent out there that can be used.
Speaker 2: So if you know, if you're if someone like Saboo
Speaker 2: who's going to get a cool reaction, who has a
Speaker 2: history with Chris Jericho or with Taz or something, it
Speaker 2: makes sense to bring them in, even if it's just
Speaker 2: for a weekend. He lives in Vegas, he's out there. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's not even a flight for them, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So it's not like I doubt if they're dumping twenty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars into using Saboo, So you can't say it's
Speaker 2: a waste of money. You know. Again, I don't know
Speaker 2: what they're paying him. I would assume it's it's a
Speaker 2: good payday. But I think it's worth the price because
Speaker 2: he got a great reaction. Now, if he would have
Speaker 2: came out and people would have just sat on their
Speaker 2: hands and not reacted and you heard cricket, then it's
Speaker 2: like you have to think, Okay, we made a mistake.
Speaker 2: But is Tony Khan going down the ECW roster and saying, oh,
Speaker 2: this one's available, I'll use him. Maybe we could use him.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe he is, because you know, everybody
Speaker 2: knows he's a fanboy. But if he was so adamant
Speaker 2: and using ECW talent when that company opened, we all
Speaker 2: would have got a phone call right just like when
Speaker 2: TNA started back in the day, they were trying to
Speaker 2: like use a lot of ECW people, not saying they
Speaker 2: wanted to be the next DCW, but we were available.
Speaker 2: Now twenty thirty years later, a lot of the guys
Speaker 2: can't wrestle anymore, you know. So I think Tony has
Speaker 2: to be very selective on who he brings in for
Speaker 2: what jobs. And Saboo will never be a full time
Speaker 2: talent entering worker. He just can't go anymore like that
Speaker 2: at that capacity. I don't think he can. He might
Speaker 2: tell me different, and I might put my foot in
Speaker 2: my mouth just looking physically, I don't think he can.
Speaker 2: A lot of us can't, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like we're older, we're in our fifties now, and
Speaker 2: the type of wrestling that they did restricts you from
Speaker 2: a lot of movement. These days, you know, a lot
Speaker 2: of us are walking around a little slower, taking it
Speaker 2: a little more easy. If we're doing indies, we're doing uh,
Speaker 2: you know, tag matches, or we're special enforcers or we're
Speaker 2: referees now, or we're doing color. It's there's a capacity
Speaker 2: you could be used in some capacity, but as a
Speaker 2: permanent entering performer, I get it. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: gonna happen. So my two cents just so.
Speaker 1: If I could fantasy book the ending of this match,
Speaker 1: I'd have Hook come out and attack Saboo cost.
Speaker 3: Adam called them, give him a task plex.
Speaker 1: Do the callback. You know how great would that be?
Speaker 1: Now that's where the ECW connection would be, and that's
Speaker 1: where the fans would revolt and be so pissed that
Speaker 1: there was the ECW tag. But that's just me because
Speaker 1: I am an ECW fan, So that's where I would.
Speaker 2: I'm an ECW fan as well, but I just don't
Speaker 2: I feel like if Tony Kahan was such a I'm
Speaker 2: using air quotes with such a mark for ECW, everybody
Speaker 2: who wasn't signed with WWE at the time would have
Speaker 2: got positions there, would have got a call somehow they didn't.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of talents still out here
Speaker 2: that they're not signed anywhere. That could be an agent
Speaker 2: or a coach or you know, a manager or color
Speaker 2: commentary or play by play or something. And there's certain
Speaker 2: people maybe he just isn't interested in so me being included.
Speaker 2: And that's fine because I you know, again, I'm not
Speaker 2: looking to work full time anywhere, right, But there are
Speaker 2: guys who would jump at the opportunity if given it
Speaker 2: to them. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, no, we could to see you know, sab we
Speaker 1: looked great in that suit that was his.
Speaker 2: You know what, being on TV even once or twice
Speaker 2: helps your bookings. Hey, you were just on AW You're well,
Speaker 2: would you like to do an autograph signing? Here? He'll
Speaker 2: get a little rub off it for sure, and that's great.
Speaker 2: You know, hopefully they'll use them more than this weekend.
Speaker 2: If they don't. It was a nice double payday for him,
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm sure it'll help him in the
Speaker 2: long run.
Speaker 1: And who inspired a next generation of wrestlers more than
Speaker 1: Saboo in the nineties.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you phenomenal, phenomenal talent. You go back and
Speaker 2: you watch his work, you cannot say that. He was
Speaker 2: so innovative with the just everything that he did. It
Speaker 2: was just like ballet but wrestling, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like this, the stuff that he did back then was
Speaker 2: just unbelievable. And just watching him, I was always in all.
Speaker 2: I would sit there with like my jaw dropped to
Speaker 2: the floor, like how did he just pull that move off?
Speaker 2: Just so creative, so innovative, so awesome, and like he's
Speaker 2: he's such a good dude, and he I think he
Speaker 2: deserves to be a millionaire for the contributions that he
Speaker 2: gave to wrestling, and sadly, you know, none of us are.
Speaker 2: But if he can get a rub off this man,
Speaker 2: I hope he rides that wave. I really do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't tell you, you know, for discovering ECW he
Speaker 1: was the guy that everybody said to watch, you know,
Speaker 1: whether it was the flips or seeing a guy get
Speaker 1: mad in the ring for you know, a chair falling
Speaker 1: down or something moving, and I mean, he just was
Speaker 1: so different and then the scars and oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: he just was such an innovator. And then see what
Speaker 1: has evolved with these aerial maneuvers that people do now.
Speaker 1: It came from him. And I hope he's getting the
Speaker 1: respect that we've heard doesn't really always get given out
Speaker 1: all the time. I hope he's getting it while he's been.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, he deserves it. He deserves to be in
Speaker 2: the spotlight. So I'm happy for him. I hope it
Speaker 2: leads to more. But if it doesn't, man, it's a
Speaker 2: nice opportunity for him to shine. I'm happy for him.
Speaker 1: All right, Francine, we're getting back in here with eyes
Speaker 1: up here and we're talking about native sunscreen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, native sunscreen has been great. You know, we're talking
Speaker 2: earlier that it's been kind of chilly, and I use
Speaker 2: so unscreen all year round. I don't just use it
Speaker 2: in the summertime because you always have to protect your
Speaker 2: skin from the uv RaaS So I started using it
Speaker 2: as soon as I got it, and even though the
Speaker 2: sun's not out anymore, I use it on my face
Speaker 2: underneath my makeup, and it's been working really well. Also,
Speaker 2: the pool is going to be coming up, so I'm
Speaker 2: going to be using a lot of them in the summer.
Speaker 2: I love the feeling that soaking up the sun this
Speaker 2: time of year, but with all that time in the sun,
Speaker 2: I'm always worried about protecting my skin. With Native sunscreen,
Speaker 2: I can give my skin the protection it needs and
Speaker 2: soak up some much neat sun as well. Now Native
Speaker 2: is quickly absorbing it's ultrashere. Hydrating and lightweight sunscreen formula
Speaker 2: offers broad spectrum of SPF thirty protection from MOVA and
Speaker 2: UVB rays. All Native sunscreen is made with a twenty
Speaker 2: percent active zinc oxide formula that is dermatologist tested and
Speaker 2: suitable for sensitive skin. All Native sunscreen is made with
Speaker 2: oils derived from plants that seal in skin moisture, and
Speaker 2: is vegan and cuilty free. You can choose from one
Speaker 2: of natives three delicious but subtle sense like coconut and
Speaker 2: pineapple rose or sweet peach in nectar for your face
Speaker 2: and body, or you can try Native's unscented option. Now,
Speaker 2: I like the unscented option. I don't like to smell things,
Speaker 2: especially when I use them on my face, So right now,
Speaker 2: even though it's not a scent, I am really digging
Speaker 2: Native's unsensed sunscreen. I apply it every day. I use
Speaker 2: it on my face. If my upper dec latee area
Speaker 2: is being exposed, I also put it on there and
Speaker 2: it protects me because the sun is there. Even though
Speaker 2: there's clouds, you might get some rays coming through. So
Speaker 2: I use it winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But Francine, did you know with all Native sunscreen
Speaker 1: you get protection from the sun that is free of
Speaker 1: chemical actives like oxybenzone, octinoxate, and ava benzone, which makes
Speaker 1: nat of sunscreen compliant with the Hawaii at twelve four,
Speaker 1: which is passing an effort to protect Hawaii's reefs. Did
Speaker 1: you know that?
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Wow. So give your skin the
Speaker 2: protection it deserves with Native's minimal sunscreens. Go to native

Speaker 2: Native d eo dot com slash fran scene, or use
Speaker 2: the promo code fran scene and tell them I's up
Speaker 2: here sentient.
Speaker 1: Moving from AW over to AW. I gotta be honest
Speaker 1: with you, the whole CM punk drama. Is he coming in?
Speaker 1: He goes back? I've lost so much interest in it
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 2: It seems like we've been talking about it for like
Speaker 2: the last year.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, who cares if he's there, if he's
Speaker 1: not whatever, they need him. I frankly, I think they
Speaker 1: need him big time. Now. They're splitting up the rosters.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a Saturday night show, which I don't
Speaker 1: think they really need. They've got a Friday night show
Speaker 1: that nobody's watching, and they've got their Wednesday night flagship show.
Speaker 1: He's apparently coming back now, so.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be on the road longer. They just added
Speaker 2: an extra day to that road.
Speaker 1: Trip apparently, as I saw somebody say that it's good
Speaker 1: for the the guys that the guys and gals that
Speaker 1: have spouses that are on the WWE roster because now
Speaker 1: the ones that work on Saturday shift will have the
Speaker 1: ability to spend their time with their significant other right
Speaker 1: that are on the WWE roster. But it's like, how
Speaker 1: complicated is this schedule gonna get you?
Speaker 3: The roster.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you fly out on a Tuesday, you do the
Speaker 2: Wednesday show. If you're not booked for Friday, book books
Speaker 2: for Saturday. Do you go home and then come back
Speaker 2: on the road or do they keep you on the
Speaker 2: road because I know, like when I worked for WWE,
Speaker 2: I we did like two house shows. Then you had
Speaker 2: to go to Raw and SmackDown, So you had to
Speaker 2: go Monday and Tuesday. Even if you weren't on the show,
Speaker 2: you were at both shows. Do they have to be
Speaker 2: at both shows or do they get to go home
Speaker 2: and come back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess in this world, in this environment, they're
Speaker 1: probably allowed to just go home.
Speaker 2: And but that's another flight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a lot of money being spent. Flights are expensive.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they get to do these independent
Speaker 1: bookings and do shows and cons and wow, that's a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, they were aw guys at the show last weekend.
Speaker 1: I said, John Silver was walking around and the other
Speaker 1: guy was with him, the tall guy with the long hair.
Speaker 1: You know that other dude is I just feel like it's.
Speaker 2: A lot of back and forth. And it went from
Speaker 2: like Wednesday nights to now they keep expanding which is
Speaker 2: a good thing because that means that you know, they're
Speaker 2: they're going to different markets and they're making more revenue.
Speaker 2: But good lord, you're getting a long schedule. Now, it's
Speaker 2: a lot of work.
Speaker 1: They've been around for five years?
Speaker 2: Has it been five?
Speaker 1: I thought it was, well, it's going out. The concept
Speaker 1: came out right like five years, right. WCW's peak started
Speaker 1: in ninety six. They were closed in two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: That's the same amount of time virtually. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: it's incredible, you know what I mean? Like, that's it like.
Speaker 1: But now like they're splitting up their brands, they just
Speaker 1: have an exorbitant amount of people on their roster. And
Speaker 1: now all the cmpunk drama, it's like.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the CM punk thing. So he's supposed to
Speaker 2: come to the collision on June seventeenth because it's in Chicago.
Speaker 2: I get it makes perfect sense. Right now, they're letting
Speaker 2: a steel work from home.
Speaker 1: Beautiful.
Speaker 2: Good for him because part of the deal was Punk
Speaker 2: wouldn't come back if Ace lost his job. Am I
Speaker 2: right in?
Speaker 1: I think it was. Yeah, it was something having to
Speaker 1: do with a steel.
Speaker 2: We needed to keep a steel around and which loyalty
Speaker 2: I gotta say Punk is a very loyal person. That's like,
Speaker 2: you know, you won't mean take my buddy over here.
Speaker 1: Wow, Yes he is, because he's at least he's at
Speaker 1: least he names a steel by name.
Speaker 2: Now yeah, okay, but now are they breaking up the brands?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Because of Punk, because it's like, whoever likes Punk can
Speaker 2: be on this one show, and then if you don't
Speaker 2: like Punk, you're going to be on the other.
Speaker 1: And also the ones that haven't been on TV. So
Speaker 1: like Miro hasn't been on TV in like a year
Speaker 1: and a half, He's going to this Saturday show. And
Speaker 1: Raday is going to the Saturday show. He hasn't been
Speaker 1: on TV in ages. So the guys that they had
Speaker 1: like no creative for are being sent to this Saturday show.
Speaker 2: And is the Saturday show supposed to be inferior to
Speaker 2: the Friday show? Is it a B show?
Speaker 1: The Friday show show the B show?
Speaker 2: So the A show is Wednesday nights. Wednesday's the big deal. Right,
Speaker 2: then you have Friday show, which you just said no
Speaker 2: one watches.
Speaker 1: I don't know the Democratic any wrestling show that's on television.
Speaker 2: I don't think a Saturday show is going to help anything.
Speaker 1: So ratings wise, I don't think it's going to do good,
Speaker 1: but I think attendance wise, it's going to do really
Speaker 1: good because I think Saturday night is an awesome night
Speaker 1: to go out to watch wrestling, right, Wednesday night is
Speaker 1: a shitty night to go out to watch wrestling.
Speaker 2: Wednesday and Fridays are hard. Like Fridays you have work,
Speaker 2: normal people, they have a nine to five job or
Speaker 2: whatever it is. It's kind of hard to get at
Speaker 2: home and then rush out to an event. But Saturdays,
Speaker 2: if you have the weekend off perfect.
Speaker 1: I think Saturday you're gonna have a UFC like crowd
Speaker 1: at some of these shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, money wise, it makes sense, but I'm if you're
Speaker 2: Friday's show is tanking in the ratings, why would you
Speaker 2: spend money on it? Like, I don't. I don't get
Speaker 2: it makes Saturday a house show. They're dumping so much
Speaker 2: money into another television production.
Speaker 1: In their house show businesses woof bad b A double D.
Speaker 2: Well are they running house shows yet?
Speaker 1: Even they've been doing pilot house show uh uh tests
Speaker 1: and some markets uh some under a thousand fans.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I'm gonna pull I'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna give your ratings.
Speaker 2: It's so crazy that they're I mean, somebody had mentioned
Speaker 2: like England and how they're selling out that huge wimbley right,
Speaker 2: and then I was reading comments and they're like, they
Speaker 2: can't sell in the States. You know, they're not doing
Speaker 2: well in the States, but they go over to England.
Speaker 2: And then people were saying, but this is like the
Speaker 2: first time. If it was consistent, they don't think the
Speaker 2: numbers would be the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah. May nineteenth rampage two hundred and ninety three thousand viewers.
Speaker 2: Is that is that Wednesday or Friday?
Speaker 1: Friday? Friday, May thirteenth, two hundred and eighty four thousand viewers.
Speaker 2: Wednesday is dynamite, right.
Speaker 1: Wednesday's dynamite. Okay, okay, let me see February seventeenth, two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven thousand viewers. The peak in this
Speaker 1: little run six hundred and thirty nine thousand on April fourteenth.
Speaker 2: Where are all the wrestling fans? Where what is WWE
Speaker 2: drawing for Raw?
Speaker 1: Oh on? Well, Raw's numbers are down. SmackDown is doing
Speaker 1: really well.
Speaker 3: Smack Day in the millions.
Speaker 1: SmackDown's getting like one point two.
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to say, well, when we were
Speaker 2: on top. But in the nineties there were like fifty
Speaker 2: million people watching, I mean high.
Speaker 1: I mean I would love to see what ECW on
Speaker 1: Sci Fi's numbers were. They probably you guys are probably
Speaker 1: getting two point five million.
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I don't know, but still.
Speaker 1: I mean I left.
Speaker 2: I never watched.
Speaker 1: But when they said when when, Even when we talk
Speaker 1: about you know, those old nineties raws from like ninety
Speaker 1: three ninety four, the down years they were, they still
Speaker 1: were getting four or five million watching those shows in
Speaker 1: the down years.
Speaker 2: I don't get it, man, crazy don't But.
Speaker 1: The wrestling fans spending more money than ever at shows, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: is sky high, but that could also be inflation. It
Speaker 1: could be because things cost more.
Speaker 2: Hell reliable is the Nielsen ratings? Well there, I've never
Speaker 2: been a Nielsen family, like I remember back in the
Speaker 2: day you were selected to be. They came with the
Speaker 2: box and they get I've never been a Nielsen family
Speaker 2: my whole fifty one years on this earth. I never
Speaker 2: remember being selected to be a Nielsen family. How reliable
Speaker 2: do you think these ratings are? Because those numbers seem extremely.
Speaker 3: Fixed.
Speaker 2: Me.
Speaker 1: I don't know now because I'm a little disconnected from
Speaker 1: it if it's really measured by the traditional Nielsen box anymore.
Speaker 2: Tell who's watching?
Speaker 1: I think because everything's so digitized that they probably can
Speaker 1: tell from satellite who was watching what.
Speaker 2: They don't seem right, those numbers are too low, you know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of that. It's that it's the reason why
Speaker 1: when people look at bad things on the internet, they know,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like if you go on
Speaker 1: the wrong website, they track it. So I think it's
Speaker 1: one of those things like they know what you're watching,
Speaker 1: and that's why they can tell. They can tell when
Speaker 1: you're when you DVR something you know, and DVR numbers
Speaker 1: and that's like that's always Meltzer's thing. Well, a W
Speaker 1: is not doing well on the main TV numbers because
Speaker 1: this portion of people DVR this and this portion do that.
Speaker 3: Shut up, man, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: How about the AARP numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a hard time with these numbers. I really,
Speaker 2: I can't understand why they are so low. Yet there's
Speaker 2: such a buzz out there, and then you you get
Speaker 2: people like in England who they're selling out whimbley Like,
Speaker 2: to me, that doesn't make any sense. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's weird.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the record rating for ECW on TNN. Okay,
Speaker 1: now we all know.
Speaker 2: It was the ships though, because we again we had
Speaker 2: no promotions, no commercials, no, there was no build up
Speaker 2: to the show. Ever. For the whole year that we
Speaker 2: were there, they didn't advertise us.
Speaker 1: Your debut on ECW on TN got a one point
Speaker 1: three cable Nielsen.
Speaker 3: Rating one point three million, one point three million, which.
Speaker 2: Is good for not having, you know, the the station
Speaker 2: back you up, so to speak, and promote you.
Speaker 1: Uh, this is when the show first began airing. TNN
Speaker 1: sold ad time for ECW expecting a rating close to
Speaker 1: two point zero. Please let's see. Yeah, so they were
Speaker 1: they were selling ads based off two point oh ratings
Speaker 1: and they moiled it in though. But was it the
Speaker 1: first show, like it was a taped like like retrospective
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Well, go back and watch it on the YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: We talked to how Francine great quote, how she felt
Speaker 1: that that was a part of the doubtfall.
Speaker 2: Oh, of course I did stand by that statement. On
Speaker 2: hundred Yeah, they were terrible with us, absolutely terrible with it.
Speaker 2: But on the same token, like they're promoting a w
Speaker 2: It's not like they're not getting the promotion out of it,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Now, granted, Tony Khan's got
Speaker 2: a billion more dollars than we ever had. We didn't
Speaker 2: have any money, you know what I mean. We were
Speaker 2: just broke. So sad to say that, but we were
Speaker 2: We didn't have any financial you know, Paul had nothing,
Speaker 2: and then we were taking from Vince and you guys
Speaker 2: know that. We don't even go over that again.
Speaker 3: Cohn that had.
Speaker 2: Unlimited pocket space for money. That just is everywhere, And
Speaker 2: I just those numbers just seem too low to believe,
Speaker 2: but maybe they are. I don't know. It's it's just
Speaker 2: a weird it's a weird time. So many people back
Speaker 2: in the day wrestling, wrestling, wrestling, and now you can't
Speaker 2: even get a million people in this whole universe to
Speaker 2: watch your product.
Speaker 3: Something's off crazy.
Speaker 1: But let's just put this c a post off the rest.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see Chicago. He's they're smart to book him
Speaker 2: in his hometown. He's going to get a huge reaction. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Now when you're outside of Chicago, when you're in uh,
Speaker 2: you know, wherever is he going to get the same
Speaker 2: kind of reaction. Time will tell, but the initial you know,
Speaker 2: when we see him for the first time, everybody's gonna
Speaker 2: lose their shit. Absolutely are.
Speaker 1: So nothing else on the WWE front, Hulk Hogan revealed
Speaker 1: that Shane McMahon had called him to possibly wrestle at
Speaker 1: WrestleMania this pastor who didn't say maybe a tag match perhaps,
Speaker 1: but Hogan said he wasn't ready. And Hogan, if he could,
Speaker 1: would train to wrestle at WrestleMania forty. But the only
Speaker 1: opponent he wants is Steve Austin.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: But because Hogan said he never got a real retirement.
Speaker 2: Match, well, I mean, you know, Hogan's not like Saboo.
Speaker 2: He didn't do the death defying move, so I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure he could give us a leg drop. He could
Speaker 2: give us the ear. This is a move, by the way,
Speaker 2: the gimmick with the ear. That's that's a move.
Speaker 1: That's a move. That's a move.
Speaker 2: I think there'd be people who would like to see
Speaker 2: Halk Hogan in the ring again.
Speaker 1: Be right there, I'd be right there, would.
Speaker 2: You you know haw Coomaniac.
Speaker 1: If it was yeah, of course, No, Hogan was my guy, absolutely,
Speaker 1: my guy.
Speaker 2: I'd rather see him sit at his karaoke and just
Speaker 2: eat behind people who sing in the gestures with their eyes.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, so on the heels of that,
Speaker 1: and I was, I forgot to mention this the last
Speaker 1: time we were talking about the karaoke. So he Nick
Speaker 1: is like really involved with him now in the promotion
Speaker 1: of the beach Club and all that stuff he's doing.
Speaker 1: Nick has like taken on the Hogan persona like big
Speaker 1: time and is doing like old school Hogan promos with
Speaker 1: his dad on like social media. He's doing a great job.
Speaker 1: He's doing the whole like he's doing like the flexing.
Speaker 3: Like this, like is in shape.
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's I mean he's a lot smaller
Speaker 1: than his dad, but you know he's doing the voice
Speaker 1: and everything. Brother, he's got the mannerisms down, dude. Hi,
Speaker 1: I got to give him a lot of credit. But
Speaker 1: they're also so in addition to karaoke, they're also doing
Speaker 1: like a bikini thing too.
Speaker 2: So a bikini thing.
Speaker 1: Brother has got his ear to the to the bikini
Speaker 1: what like.
Speaker 2: Getting a bikini contest that the thing. Oh good friend,
Speaker 2: look man, I'm telling you, if you find your niche
Speaker 2: ride that wave as long as you can. I don't
Speaker 2: blame them for doing stuff like that. You know he's
Speaker 2: got that restaurant karaoke do as much as you can.
Speaker 2: I think it's brilliant.
Speaker 1: Maybe how about an AI hulk hogan Artificial intelligence hulkogan
Speaker 1: last match. I've been obsessed with listening to AI versions
Speaker 1: of songs by other artists.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Have you seen these?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: So these like AI generated voice modulators.
Speaker 3: That can like a computer singing.
Speaker 1: It is that it that could take any artist from
Speaker 1: history and create their module of their voice singing another
Speaker 1: song of somebody else. So like take Goodbye Yellow Brick
Speaker 1: Road by Elton John, but it's Paul McCartney, right. Take
Speaker 1: Bohemian Rhapsody, but it's the Beatles, you know, Take but
Speaker 1: it's computer generated version, but it's taken their voice and
Speaker 1: copied it. Thriller but it's Bruno Mars right, put a
Speaker 1: new spin on the Ten in a Bottle, but it's
Speaker 1: Britney Spears' it's we I was telling somebody about it
Speaker 1: the other day. I was like it, it's like you're
Speaker 1: in an alternate universe where the original artist never did
Speaker 1: the song, and it's like, because it's so perfectly done,
Speaker 1: it's not like it's a it's like it's so it's
Speaker 1: like it never exists. It's so weird that it's like
Speaker 1: we're doomed as a society.
Speaker 3: We're doomed.
Speaker 1: The computers are gonna take over. AI. Francine coming soon
Speaker 1: dies up here. You want to take a week off, No,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have computer Franccene in here, do you It
Speaker 1: could be ninety six franccene if you.
Speaker 2: Want, uh, your your trash collection. This just made me
Speaker 2: think of this. We don't have trash men anymore. We
Speaker 2: have arms that got get the bin. No, this is
Speaker 2: the last, not even six months for us, I think
Speaker 2: it is. But there's no like, you know, two dudes
Speaker 2: would hang on the back of the trash truck and
Speaker 2: come and don't know they got They fired so many people.
Speaker 2: And I speaking of the AI thing when I was
Speaker 2: taking a walk with my kids the other day, I
Speaker 2: was telling them. I was like, you know a lot
Speaker 2: of people lost their jobs because now they're using these
Speaker 2: mechanical arms the trash. And my daughter was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: pretty soon, there's gonna be no humans working anywhere, and
Speaker 2: I stopped for a second. I was like, there's certain
Speaker 2: jobs that I don't think you can replace, you know,
Speaker 2: with with a robot or whatever, but there are a
Speaker 2: lot that can be And my god, so many people
Speaker 2: are gonna be losing their jobs. It's scary. This world
Speaker 2: is freaking scary.
Speaker 1: Weird. Hey, I listened to a guy who does a
Speaker 1: whole Gorilla Monsoon talk show podcast thing on YouTube, Gorilla Monson,

Speaker 1: generated from the footage that's out there of them talking.
Speaker 2: He's just mimicking like a video.
Speaker 1: You like, I don't know how it's done, Like you
Speaker 1: put it in a computer program. You type out what
Speaker 1: they want them to say, please, and it's sound like

Speaker 1: But there's some inflection where it's like, all right, that's weird.
Speaker 2: It sounds too much time on your hands, my friend,
Speaker 2: you need to it's weird.
