I couldn't even read the 41 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: note that the director wrote me because I was like, 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: once I read it, I know it's over. And it 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: took me about two weeks. Then I finally read it 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: and it was very nice. So I'm feeling good and 45 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to go on vacation with the family. 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to take them on a little vaca out 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: of the country be the children's first time.

What about you, sir? What say you? Well? 53 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: For me, wrestling has been very exciting just in general. 54 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: These last few weeks, we got to see so many 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: matches I've always wanted to see, you know. 56 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: I got to see. 57 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: John Moxley beat the breaks off of Kenny Omega in 58 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 3: a Barberi match. I got to see finally Sting and 59 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: Darby Allen fight each other. You know, they're all angry. 60 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: I am, of course speaking about Aw's fight forever. The 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: video game is out and I get to make all 62 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: the little matches I want, like I'm god, you know, 63 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: like I get to be Tony Kahan, except taller and 64 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: cooler and handsomer. It's been very, very exciting. I've waited 65 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 3: for this TCHQ game to come out for I've talked 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: about it on this podcast. 67 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: I was so excited for it to come out. 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: I've waited I knew that this is the only game 69 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: in modern times that I was able to pick it 70 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 3: up and immediately be good because they didn't change any 71 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: of the controls. 72 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan. You've been playing it? 73 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: Also, yes, I have. If we ever do merch, our 74 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: T shirt should say taller, cooler, and handsomer. That's the greatest. 75 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: That's the greatest self compliment ever. I really like the 76 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: game a lot. I have created my own wrestler. Created 77 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: your own wrestler. 78 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: No, I haven't had enough time to create a wrestler. 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's the character creation is great. I created 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: fred Wardo Prinz Junior. He's a luchador. 81 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: Also, when I said that I don't have time, it's 82 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: not like I'm too busy. I just haven't been home. 83 00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: That's the thing. 84 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: I don't travel with my you know console, I will 85 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: create a wrestler. 86 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: That's a big mistake. You can do your Xbox remote connect, 87 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: so you can connect it to an Xbox and you 88 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: can link your controller to your iPad and you can 89 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: play like anywhere. All you have to do is give 90 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: your Xbox access to be remotely accessed. 91 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: Does that cost money or anything? 92 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm learning that's just a feature on your Xbox. 93 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: This is pretty sweet. I'm very excited to hear this. 94 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling you I did it. And when we went 95 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: to Hawaii and my son was like, oh, Dad, you're 96 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: not bringing the Xbox and I was like, nah, but 97 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: we're going to do outdoor things. And then while I 98 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: made him do outdoor things, out sleep inside. They call 99 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: it dude and genius. All right, let's talk some pro wrestling. Dude. 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it. 101 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 3: Let's talk about real wrestling, not just video game wrestling. 102 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: Let's do it. 103 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw. The Judgment Day started slow, through no 104 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: fault of their own. Edge got hurt and like blew 105 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: out a muscle in his arm or something like that, 106 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: and so it it kind of sputtered for a while 107 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: storyline wise, but they kept getting wins. And that's really 108 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: frustrating as a fan because you're like, you're not even 109 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: doing anything with them. Why are they beating people that 110 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: you could be doing things with. Well, they finally figured 111 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: it out, and everybody kind of has a role, right 112 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: like Finn Balor's the leadership role. No one is hated 113 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: more on Planet Earth right now than Dominic Mysterio for 114 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: all the right, and maybe people might argue the wrong reasons, 115 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: but I think it's all the right reasons. Damian Priest 116 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: has become the babyface of the group. I love seeing 117 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: Latinos get the spotlight. It doesn't happen too often. I 118 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: love seeing him get the appreciation he's getting. He's a 119 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: good storyteller. Him and Finn have beef right now. And 120 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: then Jeff it's our superstar, our world champion, who had 121 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: a freaking monster match against Natalia Nightheart and just whipped 122 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: her ass. It was sorry for yelling, but oh my god, 123 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: the judgment day is large and in charge. 124 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: Man. 125 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: What do you think of where they're at? Do you 126 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: agree or are you still kind of no? 127 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: I agree. 128 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: I love Finn, always have. I've always hated Dominick since 129 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: he came in. Now I like him like it worked. 130 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 3: He's won me over. I'm in on all of it. 131 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: It's very fun to hate him. It's very fun all 132 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 3: the little things he does. I think it's perfect. And 133 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: Ree Ripley, she's already she's been a superstar on this podcast. 134 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: We've talked about it a million times. She's easily the 135 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: best since Charlotte Flair. When it comes to women. And 136 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: what's the secret cup between Charlotte Flair and Ria Ripley. 137 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: What do they have in common? What's the thing they're 138 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 3: both giants? Tell them giants. They're big, they're strong. They 139 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: throw girls around because they're big and strong. And it 140 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: goes to the Jeff Dive formula. Be a monster, be huge, 141 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 3: and you will succeed. We're witnessing it with the women. 142 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: Shout out to Raquel Gonzales out there, the biggest and 143 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: baddest of them all. Once she gets the mic stuff 144 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: figured out, y'all better watch out, all right. So the 145 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: show starts money in the bank, recap video package because 146 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: we don't want to wrestle, So we're going to do 147 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of video packages because we think that's 148 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: better than professional wrestling. I don't know why, but they 149 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: do a lot of them, and this week was no exception, 150 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: even a few more.

He didn't 179 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: come in and say nothing, just came in and beat 180 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 3: some ass. 181 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: I was. I was very very happy about it. 182 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: We did get some ass beating, but we still don't 183 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: get any wrestling. Because they thought it was a good 184 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: story choice for this week's episode to go back to 185 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: Seth Rollins promo in order to organically make a match 186 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: on the spot, and surprise, surprise, Jeff, he got interrupted again. 187 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: This may be the first double interruption of the modern 188 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: era of professional wrestling since the year two thousand for 189 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: those who don't know what the modern area is. He 190 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: gets interrupted again, this time by the judgment day, and 191 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: they're ready to kick ass. They've got a money in 192 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: the bank eye, which is a pretty much guaranteed world championship. 193 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: They got the women's world champion Rhea Ripley. They got 194 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: Dominick that no one lets speak before. Dominic gets talked 195 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: into a match with Seth Rollins, where Seth proceeds to 196 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: whip his ass all over the place. But we still 197 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: haven't had any wrestling Jeff, did you like this segment 198 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: continuing or did it start getting a little long in 199 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: the two I. 200 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: Was into it. 201 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 3: I'm also trying to coach myself on being a little 202 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 3: more generous to these kind of things. 203 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: To you. 204 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: I'm trying to you know, I'm trying to go all right. 205 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 3: You know, they got a big thing coming up. They 206 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: don't want to take too many bumps. That's just interrupted 207 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 3: at this point in the show. We should have had 208 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: some wrestling by now. You're right about that. 209 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: We got a little fistfight though. At least you know, 210 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: Brock decided to beat the shit out of Cody for 211 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: two and a half minutes. Jesus, if he pretend hit 212 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: me once the segment would be over, there would be 213 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: no would I would just say stop, I will put 214 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: up the X right, even if it didn't hurt. I 215 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: would be so scared. You remember when John Kruck backed 216 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: out of the box in the All Star Game with 217 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: Randy Johnson and he was just like, you know what, 218 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: screw this that I would straight up ruin the segment 219 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: and be like, nah, man, your hand is as big 220 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: as my whole ass. We're not doing fake fighting. We're 221 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: just not so you still got that, but we didn't 222 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: get any wrestling yet. Eventually we did get some wrestling though. 223 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: We got Damien Priest versus Shinsky Nakamura and since his return, 224 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten a lot of love. Shinsky No, but 225 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: he's looked great and he looked great in this match too. 226 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: But the right guy won. Damien Priest has to be 227 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: the man cruising, but Shinske is still looking really good. 228 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: I hope that they can come up with some kind 229 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: of story. I don't know why they think it's so hard, 230 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: like so many Japanese movies inspired American films, and so 231 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: many American films inspired Japanese films. And the reason why 232 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: is because we're the freaking sane. We just eat different food, 233 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: we dance different, and we sound different when we talk. 234 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: So you could just write him the same story you 235 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: would write for any wrestler, white, black, brown, it doesn't matter. 236 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: And if he can pull it off, give him a 237 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: chance to pull it off, because they got nothing for 238 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: my man, but Big. 239 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,599 Speaker 2: L's I don't know what they're doing with shin's Ke, 240 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: like we do something with him? What is happening? He's 241 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: also side note. 242 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 3: The only wrestler who's had the best music in the 243 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 3: history of wrestling. 244 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: Quite Oh my god, He's had two. 245 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 3: Different amazing entrance songs and it just absolutely amazing. 246 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: His music's so good. Before Spotify existed, I bought his 247 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: entrance music on iTunes just so I could listen to 248 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: that violin. And then when they did the electric guitar remake, 249 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: and I love Japanese culture already, and like I know 250 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: about like Noamier and Exile google them, suckers, y'all don 251 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: know Nomie, but yeah, so I love his entrance music 252 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: so much. I just wish. 253 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: I know. 254 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: You can't give everybody a story, now, screw that, man. 255 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: You can. Some may be smaller and less relevant, but 256 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: you can give everyone a story. Man. It's just hard. 257 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: It's just hard, goddamn work at that company because you 258 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: got somebody cutting your legs out from under you. Once 259 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: a week, there's one match. We don't have to get 260 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: into it, okay, But it's grown on me so much, 261 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: and them as a group have grown on me so much, 262 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: and I'm starting to love them to the point where 263 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: I get sad where one of them loses. I only 264 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: follow one of them on Instagram because I've loved him 265 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: since his NXT days. But we got to talk Alpha Academy. Please, Okay, 266 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: we're talking Chad Gable, Otis and Maxine Dupre, who is learning. 267 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: She is bro I am so in love with her, 268 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: see y'all for those who don't know. She's learning to 269 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: wrestle from Chad Gable, who is like a legit amateur wrestler, 270 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: like world world class wrestlery beat all our asses, and 271 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: the character he plays gets wins. But he's goofy too 272 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: because he's good at comedy and he says thank you 273 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: before you come, before you can compliment him, because he 274 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: knows what he said was so prevalent and poignant. But yeah, 275 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: so he's taken Otis under his wing. And Otis is 276 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: just this like he looks like a like a washing 277 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: machine with arms and legs the stick out and that's 278 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: and a head and that's it. And he's huge and 279 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: he's awesome and I love him. I follow him on 280 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: Instagram because he just grills like eight steaks and they're 281 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: not for anyone. 282 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 2: But he does have that old school wdbef. 283 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 3: Thing too, that like Berserker had, and like Jim Hackson 284 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: Douggan with the like the facial expressions and then like 285 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 3: he's very. 286 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: And he's got sixty seconds of move He's got sixty 287 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: seconds of moves, and then he's either taking a boot 288 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: to the face or he's tagging in Chad again, that's it. 289 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: But what he's going he's among us, Dude, I've been 290 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: gassed walking to the ring. But anyway, the star of 291 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: this show right now is Maxine Dupree, who I would 292 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: love to have on the show because what she's committed 293 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: to is completely ridiculous. Storyline wise, She's learning to wrestle 294 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: from Chad Gable, and each week he's teaching her a 295 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: new move, and each week she has to do it 296 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: for real against a psychotic Viking woman who wants to 297 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: kill her. That's the storyline rigid. For some reason, it's 298 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: parable she's a Viking. So it would be very hard 299 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: to sell this idea to an executive. They would be 300 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: skeptical and cynical of my taste. Right, So I'm not 301 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: saying the story is good, but her commitment to the 302 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: story has made me love her and the Alpha Academy 303 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: very very much. And she's learning simple, basic moves and 304 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: winning matches with them and getting the for the team. Bro, 305 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: it's so great and I love it and I'm not 306 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: even joking. It's my match of the week. 307 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: What's been your favorite so far? Of the of the moves, the. 308 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: Arm track, I think she got it off. She threw 309 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: her hands up like she's just small victories, dude, it's 310 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: these small victories. Bro. Her whatever whoever produced it and 311 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: talked to her and about you know how this character 312 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: is gonna work because the producers help a lot with this. 313 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't know which one it was, but shout out 314 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: to you, like, I love it so much. When she 315 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: threw her arms up, I died laughing. My son and 316 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: daughter were laughing. We had a plast with it. 317 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the worm. When he said do the worm? 318 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: Do the worm? 319 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 3: She started, She even started like shaking, like what's happening 320 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 3: to my body? 321 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: It's taking over, It's taking over. And then she does that. 322 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: Took total Jim Carrey commitment to do that, and then 323 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: I love that. She lost to it and the worm 324 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: was the worm. The worm betrayed her. The worm turned. 325 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: She would do that. 326 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 3: If you can't see us right now, she would do 327 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: like half of the worm, and then her knees would 328 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: slam into the mat like really like clunky. So it's 329 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: like kind of a worm and it was her first worm. 330 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: She's still learning. 331 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: A worm's taking big risks in there against professional wrestlers 332 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: that can hurt her and beat her up and want 333 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: to kill her and see her dead. Man Like I'm 334 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: telling you Valhalla, was that her name? 335 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: You have? 336 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: Vahalla Sarah Logan, Yep, they call her Vahallaa. She's trying, 337 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: she's trying to kill her and she's still willing to 338 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: give the audience a show and do a breakdancing move 339 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: instead of go a whip some pass. 340 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: She paid for it. 341 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: She paid for it last week, almost with her life. 342 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: I don't like the barefoot wrestling, by the way, from Valhalla, 343 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't liked barefoot. I think 344 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 3: the Kamala it made sense, so Kamala was barefoot, But I. 345 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: Don't like that barefoot either. 346 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: It just for whatever reason, it doesn't look Maybe because 347 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 3: my eyes are so used to like wrestling boots, like 348 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: like the kneepad and the wrestling boots like it just 349 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: that I associate those in my brain. But whenever someone's 350 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 3: out there barefoot, I'm like, what are they doing. 351 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: My friend, I would love to transition to AW Dynamite. 352 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: I've made a discovery in the saga of Adam Cole 353 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: and Maxwell Jacob Friedman, the AW world champion owner of 354 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: the Triple B. Their relationship is one hundred percent Nick 355 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: Nolty and Eddie Murphy from forty eight and another forty 356 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: eight hours. This should be the goofiest, corniest storyline that 357 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: we've seen this year, and instead, because of Cole's commitment 358 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: to hating Max and Max's commitment to whatever the hell 359 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: it is he's doing. I don't even know how to 360 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: disc gribe it. He's singing songs to him, he's wishing 361 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: him happy birthday, he's trying to pull Ashton Kusher pranks. 362 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: He's doing all this stuff and it's working and and 363 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: the crowd loves it, and I'm into it and my 364 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: kids are laughing, and then Adam Cole is just Nick 365 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: noltying him, or you could even say mel Gibson and 366 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: Danny Glover, but it's more forty eight hours and I 367 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: really like it. And they did it this week, and 368 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: they're in this tag team together where they don't like 369 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: each other, but Max is really trying to make it 370 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: work and be best friends because truthfully, he doesn't want 371 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: to wrestle at him Cole because he knows Adam Cole 372 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: can beat it. But I'm totally liking it. You probably 373 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: totally hate it, but nope, I think it's super charming. Really, 374 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: I love that. It's charmed me to death, and I 375 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: think they're doing a great job. What say you? 376 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 3: I love it and I think that this also peace. 377 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 3: I'm gonna sound like a broken record on this podcast, 378 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: but it speaks to how good mjf's wrestling sensibilities are 379 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 3: or and not like wrestling like technical wrestling like Brett 380 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: Hard or something, but like the his sensibilities of what 381 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: he can pull off and what he can get with. 382 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: This shouldn't work, like you said, it shouldn't work. It 383 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 3: should be weird, it should be, but it is working 384 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 3: because because of MJF and Adam Coley great. 385 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 2: But also it's just different. 386 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 3: We've never seen anything like this, so it's like it's 387 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: just kind of them working out together. Mgf's making fun 388 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: of the fat guy like there. 389 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: Was there was all Like I just I love that 390 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: so much and like cut segments or killer Yeah, I 391 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: just love that, Like someone trusted MJF enough. 392 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 2: I'm guessing this might have what. 393 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 3: I don't know whose idea it is, but I love 394 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 3: that they're trusting this and trying it and it's working 395 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 3: and I love it. 396 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: It's very very fun. 397 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, whose ever ideal was? You know, everyone has to 398 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: commit to their to their end. Everyone has to carry 399 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: their weight. So whether it was like Tony saying, hey, 400 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be a buddy cop movie and Colon 401 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: and Max just saying, okay, let's let's make this work. 402 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: I'll be the I'll be the goofball and you you 403 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: freaking hate me, or whether it was Max or Cole 404 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: or everyone together kind of working it out. Everybody has 405 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: to be perfect in this, and you can see Cole 406 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: allow Max to wear him down a little and then 407 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: he snaps it back up and it's like, no, f you, 408 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: It's been perfect, man, I really dig it. I'm glad 409 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: their story didn't get buried by that ciampunk promo. 410 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 411 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: When he first made his comeback, and I like where 412 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: it's going. It has a very different feel, and every 413 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: one of Max's storylines have been so different from the last. 414 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: He's shown a ton of range. I think that's why 415 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: his skill continues to develop as quickly as it does 416 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: because he's constantly challenging himself. Dude singing Broadway tunes on 417 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: a professional wrestling show, singing Happy Birthday to his new 418 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: best butt, and then he's taking his face into the 419 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: cake when Adam Cole fakes him out. 420 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 2: Thanks. 421 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: This is a little side note if you're listening at home, 422 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: kids or adults, when you put someone's face through a cake, like, 423 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: that's a dangerous blum you know, night, I know this. 424 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 3: There's candles, there's things that are in cakes. There's things 425 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 3: that Some cakes need sticks to make them keep their 426 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 3: structural integrity. So when you push someone's head in it, 427 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 3: be very careful. It's candles can get you in the eye. 428 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: I saw it once on some YouTube video, and since then, 429 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: every time I see someone take a face in the 430 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 3: cake and was like, oh gosh, is the candle gonna 431 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 3: get them? Is the stick gonna get them? So just 432 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: something to think about, something to be cautious about. Just 433 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 3: me helping out the world. 434 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Always better to smash a face in a pie. Yeah, 435 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: always better to tick this. That's why the old old 436 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: saying is a pie in the face, not a cake 437 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: in the face. It's right because pie you just get 438 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: smoohed in there. Now there is a danger with that 439 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: as well. If it just came out of the oven. 440 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: Could you weren't aware of it and you're trying to chip, 441 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, trick your little brother, pow pow. That's the 442 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: third degree burn. As soon as his face hits it, 443 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna come out screaming. It's an apple pie, so 444 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: it's sticky, so it's continuing to burn, and that punishment's 445 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: on you. That's your grounding, that's not his. That's your grounding, 446 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: and you're gonna feel like crap. So make sure it's 447 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: a cold pie, like a key lime pile or it's us. 448 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 3: Just go with a tin, a pie tin with a 449 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 3: bunch of whipped cream. 450 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: You know that that. 451 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 3: Looks good Bee of the nerd style. Yeah, it's got 452 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 3: a great reaction. You didn't waste a pie. You didn't 453 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 3: waste a nice cake. Cheap it looks good, gets the 454 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 3: same effect. That's clown school one on one stuff. You know, 455 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 3: no candles in that and the shaving cream. 456 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: We're moving on to our final show of the week, 457 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: Friday Nights SmackDown and the Trial of Roman Rains. 458 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: I should just renamed SmackDown Tribal Chief Show. 459 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: For real bloodline so they give you a They've given 460 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,239 Speaker 1: us so many different leads of this story, right, Like 461 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain was the lead, Roman Rains was the lead. 462 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: They even gave Solo the lead for one episode. Jay 463 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: was the lead, Jimmy's been the lead. They've all had 464 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: their moments, and tonight was Roman and Jay and this 465 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: was a very oh, I'll tell you guys the secret. 466 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: This was a very heartbreaking kind of thing for like 467 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: a family to fall apart and break down, and Roman 468 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: even shed some tears. If you guys want, you can 469 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: rewind the episode before he take gets down on one knee, 470 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: right so well before he takes two knees, but before 471 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: he gets down on one knee, when he's face to 472 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: face with Jay and he's talking to him, he'll itch 473 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: his eye. And when he did that, what he did 474 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: was he put a little menthol. I believe because I've 475 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: seen people do this before, a little men though jelly 476 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: right there in the eye, and it helps you cry 477 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: because it waters up your eyeballs. I've seen actors do 478 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: know this well. I've seen a lot of actors do 479 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: it now. It could be wrong. He could have just 480 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: itched his eye and pulled the tears off for real. 481 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: But and I don't care either way. But I know 482 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: I remember seeing that and being like what wait a minute, 483 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: and then I rewound it. I was like, oh, I 484 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: think he did the menthol jelly. So that guy, so 485 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: that was really that. But by the way, that's his 486 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: commitment is he knew that that moment needed tears. So 487 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: whether they came organically or synthetically, that is irrelevant. What's 488 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: relevant is that he knew the moment needed that to 489 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: make you believe it. 490 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 3: Well, I might need to know that trick for a 491 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 3: future film sometimes, so I appreciate it. 492 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: Just ask the makeup artists say hey, I may need tears, 493 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: and the makeup artist is always there. They have it 494 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: in their kit and they help. On the movie I did, 495 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: the girl asked me, She said, hey, do you want 496 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: do you want to help crime? But you know your 497 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: boy doesn't need it. You know, get in those tears. 498 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 2: Because you know what putting that Menthough I can. 499 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: Only do it twice though I dry out after. 500 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 3: Two asking the makeup department for it. You know you 501 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 3: don't do that, right, doesn't that asking the makeup department does? 502 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: Oh? 503 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 3: I need to help with crying. This seems a little dishonest, 504 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Just get those real tears, 505 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 3: That's what Freddy Prince Junior. 506 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: No, man. I know, I know a lot of people 507 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: who do it, and everybody's got their own process, you know, 508 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: But I do it the Denzel Washington way, straight up. 509 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: Real, real shit, dishonest to fake. 510 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm probably the most honest guy you know people are 511 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: listening to right now. 512 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: All those movies are truly. 513 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, all the yeah hundred per true, Yeah, 514 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: one hundred percent truth. Okay, so we're into this, the 515 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: Trial of Roman reigns and Roman comes out and Paul 516 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: Hayman's out there, and Solosi co is out there, and 517 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: the USO's aren't having any of Paul Hayman, so they 518 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: shut him down pretty quick. And Roman comes out and 519 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: they basically say, f you, man, all you did was 520 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: screw with us and assault us, beat us down, hold 521 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: us down, and then manipulated us to help you, not 522 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: to help us to help you. Again. These aren't the lines, 523 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: This is just what they were expressing. And I'm summarizing 524 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: exhibit No, I don't plagiarize, okay, And they're breaking it 525 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: down to and Roman Reigns kind of smiles and then 526 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: lets that smile go away and lets him know, like, yeah, 527 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: was all those things, which was the perfect response, because 528 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: that's what you needed, not what I need. That's what 529 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: you needed. I made you, I built you. Like he's 530 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: the narcissist, right, so he takes credit for your successes, 531 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: even when you're the one in the ring accomplishing these things, right, 532 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: So he wants to be like he says in the 533 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: beginning of every promo, acknowledge me. That's the narcissist character, right, 534 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: And he's playing it perfect. And they say, well, we're 535 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: going to show you something and he puts They put 536 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: out this montage and it's all the times that Roman 537 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: Reigns has just been a piece of shit, and it 538 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: cuts back and Roman looks at him like he's been betrayed, 539 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: and his response is so awesome. He looks at it 540 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: and he's like, that's all you showed. What about all 541 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: the good things that I brought, What about all the 542 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: things I did to help you? Just show me like 543 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: a like a jerk, like that's every single moment we've had. 544 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: My daughters are in the back watching this man, what's 545 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: the matter with you? And he puts it all back 546 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: on them. It's so good. And then finally he's like 547 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: the pressure is just too much and he hates seeing 548 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: everything getting destroyed, and he's like, you know what, I 549 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: don't even want this. I did this because I was 550 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: asked to do this, but I don't want it anymore. 551 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: You want this? And he's got the tribal chief's necklace, right, 552 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: and what is that shoulders, that's the tribal chief necklace. Man, 553 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: it's power. That's a powerful necklace. 554 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: I just thought like Mishman was the tribal chief and 555 00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 2: he wore it. 556 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 3: I didn't know that that. So that was part of like, oh, look, 557 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 3: whoever is like a crown? 558 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: Bro? 559 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 3: It's like a crown. You got a necklace full of peppers. 560 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden, that's so bro. That's 561 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: Samoan magic. 562 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: Dude. 563 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 3: You don't want to it's like voodoo. You don't even 564 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 3: want to talk bad about it. And so I was 565 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 3: picking it was like the Lord of the Rings ring. 566 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 3: He's like, looking at. 567 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: It, too powerful? 568 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: I can't. 569 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: So so Roman's willing to give it up. He even 570 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: takes his championship belt off and sets it down. I 571 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: don't need this, I don't want this. I don't need 572 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: any of it. Need he says a lot more than one, 573 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: which is more than what a narcissist would say, I 574 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: don't need. If you're in a relationship and they say 575 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: a lot like I don't need you, you need me, 576 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: you're with a narcissist, get the hell out of that relationship. 577 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: It's not going to end well, end it on your terms. 578 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: But he continues that. So that's huge commitment to characters. 579 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: And we don't compliment Roman enough, So sorry for blowing 580 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: smoke up his ass. But this is like the second 581 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,120 Speaker 1: time we've ever done it. So he's just killing it. 582 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: And then he says, is this what you want? Is 583 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: this what you want? You want this responsibility? You think 584 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: you can handle this, then you can take it. 585 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 2: Man. 586 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: I hate breaking everybody's hearts. Let's see how you deal 587 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: with it. And he gets down on one knee and 588 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: then he's on both knees and then he looks up 589 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: and the tears start dropping and he's crying. And it 590 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: might have been for real, man, because there's enough time 591 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: between the eye swipe and him getting down there that 592 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: the tears probably should have come even sooner. Maybe I 593 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: don't know you as somebody who's better at analyzing footage 594 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: can do it. But either way, this is just such 595 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: a gangster moment. And he's on both knees in front 596 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: of jay Uso just saying like I acknowledge you, my 597 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: tribal chief, and Jauso is like, holy shit, and Paul 598 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: Hayman's like, holy shit, I'm about to lose my job, 599 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: and Solo Soko is like I'm not showing anybody any 600 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: emotion and then out of nowhere, right in the balls 601 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: and Roman just nails them right between the legs and 602 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: that moment is over, and it was such an awesome stuff. Again, 603 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: there wasn't much wrestling in WWE this week, but the 604 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: scripted stuff was really, really good, really effective. I love 605 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: this segment what about you, dude? 606 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 2: I loved it.
