Speaker 1: Now You're mad, even introducing ghosts Wrestling Wind for Ready Jeff.
Speaker 2: Died and for Ready Friends Junior. What's up, everybody? Welcome
Speaker 2: to the final episode this season of Wrestling with Friends.
Speaker 2: Mister Jeff dies here and if you get to see
Speaker 2: the little clips that we post on social media, he's
Speaker 2: looking like Seamus right when they hit him with the spotlight.
Speaker 2: The sun is bright in Sherman Oaks. Let me tell
Speaker 2: you send him my way. Man, it looks like he's
Speaker 2: in a freaking rain over here. Anyway, Welcome to the show, everybody.
Speaker 2: I've been cracking up while Jeff tries to fix the
Speaker 2: glaring sun that's blasting through his window and it hasn't
Speaker 2: been going well. And we'll leave it at that. But
Speaker 2: we had the super Bowl on Sunday. I had one
Speaker 2: buddy who had two buddies who actually got to go
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl and watch the bud Whoopin' that
Speaker 2: took place. I'm a Raiders fan, so fuck both those teams.
Speaker 2: To be honest, Jeff, did you watch the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Did Jeff fund?
Speaker 3: I watched Super Bowl at a friend's house. The right
Speaker 3: team won. I'm not like a huge Eagles fan or anything.
Speaker 3: It's just when a team that hasn't won a super
Speaker 3: Bowl in my memory wins, I get happy for them.
Speaker 3: I'm like, good for good for the Chiefs that they
Speaker 3: won a super Bowl. And then when that same team
Speaker 3: wins two years in a row, I go, all right,
Speaker 3: we're getting a little greedy. And then if they try
Speaker 3: to win three times in a row, I go, They're
Speaker 3: not an underdog that I want to root for anymore. Now,
Speaker 3: this is just some unless it's my team. If it's
Speaker 3: my team, I want them to win ten times in
Speaker 3: a row. But I didn't want to see the Chiefs
Speaker 3: win three years in a row, and so you know,
Speaker 3: it's not fun to watch. So I was rooting for
Speaker 3: the Eagles, happy about that, even though the game was boring.
Speaker 2: That's a very consistent opinion for you because you prefer
Speaker 2: Cody Rhodes's story to the title then post titles, so
Speaker 2: you do like an underdog in a story, and that's
Speaker 2: consistent and I like that. Have you ever been to
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl? Freddy? Uh No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I've been to a World Series. I've been to WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: I don't really watch hockey, so I've only been to
Speaker 2: like a random game, like a King's game. But it
Speaker 2: was fun to go to a Kings game like an
Speaker 2: actual hockey game. I guess a lot of people who
Speaker 2: don't like wrestling, if they go to an actual like event,
Speaker 2: they really like it. That was hockey for me. But
Speaker 2: I haven't been to their finals, and uh, I think
Speaker 2: that's I've never been to the Olympics. No super Bowl,
Speaker 2: but Sarah's been to like three super Bowls. She almost
Speaker 2: went to this one too. Yeah. Yeah, my buddy McCauley went. Uh,
Speaker 2: you guys know mcaulay culkin. He's big wrestling head. He
Speaker 2: went to the Super Bowl this year and missed fucking
Speaker 2: game night, which is bullshit, No for real, mass shit
Speaker 2: makes me mad, But I hope he had fun. And uh,
Speaker 2: and my buddy Rio was out there in uh in
Speaker 2: New Orleans. I made a movie down there. I like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Rio is a good dude, man. Riol's a really good
Speaker 2: I love that city though. So if anybody in New
Speaker 2: Orleans is listening, I got nothing belove for you, baby.
Speaker 2: Let me share this super Bowl story with you guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when the Seattle Seahawks played the Denver Broncos in
Speaker 3: New York for the Super Bowl. I went and sat
Speaker 3: front row.
Speaker 2: No way.
Speaker 3: This is me and the confetti of the Super Bowl
Speaker 3: when the Seattle Seahawks won.
Speaker 2: And let me just tell you what jersey is. That?
Speaker 2: What jersey is.
Speaker 3: Marshaun Lynch, the star team who should have been the
Speaker 3: MVP two years in a row. Now you think, all
Speaker 3: my friends in Seattle, all my friends in Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: all my friends around the world, see me on Instagram
Speaker 3: and go look at Jeff Die living his best life.
Speaker 2: He's got money now, he has a career.
Speaker 3: Now he got to be in the front row when
Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you it isn't better. I was. I
Speaker 2: spent a ton of money. I was cold.
Speaker 3: I only got to be with like one of my friends.
Speaker 3: All my friends that are like envying me. They're at
Speaker 3: their house with forty of my other friends, jumping around,
Speaker 3: hugging each other, loving that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: It wasn't worth bragging that I went to the Super
Speaker 3: Bowl and spent all this money. It's better to be
Speaker 3: with the ones you love and just enjoy. Sure, I went,
Speaker 3: Who cares? They got to be like they spent zero dollars.
Speaker 3: They got to eat all these snacks and treats and
Speaker 3: drink and they got to be together. It's much much
Speaker 3: much better to just enjoy the game on television.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I thought it was gonna be
Speaker 2: happy story. It means everybody else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it means like you don't have to like think,
Speaker 3: you think to yourself when you look at Instagram, Oh,
Speaker 3: it must be better to be there.
Speaker 2: It isn't it's better picture.
Speaker 3: Well that's that's the only part I get out of it,
Speaker 3: is that I get to brag that I went to
Speaker 3: this thing.
Speaker 2: But who cares. We got to grow out of that
Speaker 2: bragging crap. Well, we win to a friend's house. All
Speaker 2: our kids are friends and uh my son is friends
Speaker 2: with their with their kids. My daughter just knows them,
Speaker 2: but they all love my daughter. She's cool chie. So
Speaker 2: my daughter and I got into two eighty Z and
Speaker 2: we cruised to the valley to their new house. Their
Speaker 2: house burnt in the in the Palisades fire, So this
Speaker 2: was kind of them saying, hey, please come and check
Speaker 2: us out at our new house. They already got a
Speaker 2: new house. That was a fast transition. Well, they're renting,
Speaker 2: they're they're they're renting a house and uh, so we
Speaker 2: went over there. I went in and I was meeting
Speaker 2: new people, which is always awkward, and uh one of
Speaker 2: the moms brought nachos and she had some nachos there
Speaker 2: and nobody was touching the nachos. And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I'll be a nice guy, man, you know, I'm trying
Speaker 2: to watch what I eat. But I didn't want her
Speaker 2: to be bummed. And so I go and I one
Speaker 2: of the guys that I met is walking over at
Speaker 2: the same time, but he's going for some pretzels and
Speaker 2: I grabbed some nachos off the plate and I eat him.
Speaker 2: And this dude I just met this dude and he goes, hey, man,
Speaker 2: did you you want these? And he offers me some
Speaker 2: tongs and I'm like, oh, bro, like come on, man,
Speaker 2: that's how you're gonna do me? Like I just met
Speaker 2: you and you just put your hand in the pretzel
Speaker 2: bowl like what's going on? Like this is how we're
Speaker 2: gonna like get off? And I was like, oh my man,
Speaker 2: I didn't even see that. I'm real real sorry. I'll
Speaker 2: make sure to use it next time for you. And
Speaker 2: he was like okay, okay, and he said it down.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, we're not gonna be bro, that's
Speaker 2: impossible for this, And now you do that to someone
Speaker 2: you just met. Man like he saw how careful I was.
Speaker 2: I grabbed a chip. I didn't even want any KNATCHO.
Speaker 3: I would have I would have just double I would
Speaker 3: have over corrected. I'd have been like, oh, you're right,
Speaker 3: you're right, Well yeah, next time, next time, but nah, sanitizer?
Speaker 2: Do you want some hand sanitizer? I noticed you're buying
Speaker 2: the food table. My man literally went in the pretzel
Speaker 2: bowl and then tried to germ shame me, but uh
Speaker 2: but I uh, I took it in stride. That's why
Speaker 2: I never go out ever, and I never want to
Speaker 2: meet new people. But party, we still had fun. We
Speaker 2: had a good time to watch Super Bowl. I want
Speaker 2: a little more from the Kendrick Lamar halftime show. Uh.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I definitely wanted more. I didn't think
Speaker 2: it was his best stuff. But I think he's about
Speaker 2: to go on tour. So he was like, man, this
Speaker 2: is a rehearsal for when I go on tour this
Speaker 2: this summer and then do my thing. Well, it's not
Speaker 2: like they pay him all that much to do that.
Speaker 2: They don't pay him anything, you know, they make sense
Speaker 2: for the halftime show. Yeah, so I don't get too
Speaker 2: mad at him if they're like, yeah, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna make sure my dancers get paid and
Speaker 2: I'll take it out of my own pocket and get
Speaker 2: the exposure and we'll rehearse. It'll be a dress reexposure.
Speaker 2: What a silly word. That word ever, I will say this,
Speaker 2: though I liked the halftime show, I thought it was great.
Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought it was entertaining. I
Speaker 2: didn't understand Sam Jackson's character during it. What was he
Speaker 2: Was he playing the guy from Django Unchained or something?
Speaker 2: What was he doing? You know? It wasn't you know
Speaker 2: how like in rap records in the nineties they had
Speaker 2: like skits. I get the skit.
Speaker 3: I didn't get the character. It's like, why did they
Speaker 3: do this? What's the message? Some sort of anti American
Speaker 3: like we don't like that?
Speaker 2: Well, people get pissed off at hip hop. Everyone loves
Speaker 2: hip hop. We all like it. If you thinking of like
Speaker 2: and talk shit about hop. No, the hip hop everyone's
Speaker 2: comfortable with. But like a lot of the Kendrick lyrics
Speaker 2: come under a lot of criticism, a lot of criticism
Speaker 2: still to this we must live in different worlds.
Speaker 3: I don't know anyone who would even have the balls
Speaker 3: to say they don't like hip hop.
Speaker 2: We got dementals. It wasn't even until like it was
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty or nineteen. I think it was nineteen sixty
Speaker 2: when you could like do drugs and have sex in
Speaker 2: movies like that was illegal to do it before that.
Speaker 2: So some people just trip and hold on for a
Speaker 2: very long time, and some people hold on too long.
Speaker 2: And some people that you know are super chilled and
Speaker 2: actually dig hip hop, and I guess is fucking good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's what you just named was sixty five years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that wish we could go
Speaker 2: back to those times.
Speaker 3: Man, I don't know anybody it's eighty years old. Watch
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl going, what's with this hippie toppy?
Speaker 2: What is the hippie hoppy? Who is this guy? Exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: They're getting upset and they want to be hurt. They're
Speaker 2: tired of being ignored the retired portion of our population.
Speaker 2: They're tired. Well, I agree, they should do old man
Speaker 2: skits in hip hop. Records. Actually, that would be remember
Speaker 2: the one in the ice cube one where the guy
Speaker 2: he's like doing that. He's got this guy in a
Speaker 2: dentist chair and he's like, I don't know that. All right,
Speaker 2: all right, buddy, just sit back in the chair here
Speaker 2: and fix your teeth. And the guy's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: you can fix my teeth. He's like, yeah, this laid back,
Speaker 2: got some novacaine here and brace yourself. And all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you just hear a real gunshot. Shit like
Speaker 2: made everybody in my cort jump because I had like
Speaker 2: a six stereo system. It was fucking great. That's when
Speaker 2: I started loving sketches and hip hop records. But anyway,
Speaker 2: it's our final episode of the season, you guys, and
Speaker 2: because you guys are awesome and you listen to us,
Speaker 2: even when we talk about hip hop, and even when
Speaker 2: we argue about the decency of people, you guys still
Speaker 2: show us love. So we're gonna be back for season five,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna come back just in time for WrestleMania. Jeff,
Speaker 2: how's the weekend? Bro? How was good? I already asked
Speaker 2: you how super Bowl was? But how was your weekend?
Speaker 3: I was in Denver, did some shows at the Bug Theater,
Speaker 3: which was really nice, and then got to hanging out
Speaker 3: with my buddy Josh Nelson. Shout out to him and
Speaker 3: my buddy Brent Tobler's shout out to him.
Speaker 2: Didn't I meet Josh? Yeah yeah that Yeah, he's good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: He was really nice.
Speaker 3: And then came home in time to catch Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: So it's a very chill weekend, but it was great
Speaker 3: and Denver was cold.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think Josh would trip on me
Speaker 2: for the Nacho full pop, but part of my friends would. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we don't care. Alex, please take over and drive the cart.
Speaker 2: I got you, I got I got a couple of
Speaker 2: questions here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let everyone know who asked it, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna ask tell it to you. You guys, answer your the
Speaker 1: best you can. This first one's coming up from Rainbow Goodness.
Speaker 1: Reddie and Jeff gave me three AEW talents you would
Speaker 1: love to see in WWE and three WWE talents you
Speaker 1: would love to see in ae W.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, we gotta switch them over. Yeah, we gotta
Speaker 2: trade three for three. Let's do this together. If you want,
Speaker 2: We'll come up with three together.
Speaker 3: I will say that it's hard because we're currently in
Speaker 3: a a in a time period which everything changes where
Speaker 3: WB is definitely winning the battle, So be hard to
Speaker 3: move guys from WB to ae W at this point.
Speaker 2: But let's that'll be the challenge. But we'll just come
Speaker 2: up with three combined and that'll make it a little
Speaker 2: bit easier, all right. First off, I can do the
Speaker 2: first one. I would love to see Will Hobbs with
Speaker 2: the WWE power behind him, to see what WWE has
Speaker 2: done with Penta, who was really underbooked. I don't know
Speaker 2: if that's a term I'm just creating it now or
Speaker 2: or it's just out a word, but you guys know
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say, you're right underutilized, under booked, underutilized,
Speaker 2: under booked. And to see what they've done with him
Speaker 2: in just like three short weeks is a night and
Speaker 2: day as far as how the perception of someone is right.
Speaker 2: We have a perception that changes when we look at
Speaker 2: everyone else's perception. We gain perspective, and I think now
Speaker 2: everybody can kind of have a stronger perspective on the
Speaker 2: talent that Penta has because we've seen two different sides
Speaker 2: of it. Now. So I'd like to see them try
Speaker 2: that with someone like Roy Hobbs, who could like pick
Speaker 2: up anybody and just throw him out of the ring.
Speaker 2: He'd probably throw me four rows deep like Hogan did
Speaker 2: Rocky Baba and Rocky three. I'd like to see. I'd
Speaker 2: like to see him. You want to see me get
Speaker 2: thrown out of the rocking ring? Awesome, I'd like to.
Speaker 3: I'd say, I got to go with my boy, and
Speaker 3: you got thrown four rows.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Thanks, I'll be hurt and injured, so you go now,
Speaker 2: and then I'll try to come up with a third one.
Speaker 3: Uh. My prediction is sorry, my my move is also
Speaker 3: a prediction. I believe that MJF is going to come
Speaker 3: to WWE now. I also wonder if MJF will shine
Speaker 3: as brightly in WWE. I know that he's got all
Speaker 3: the chops and talent and words and mic work and
Speaker 3: muscles and ability, and in rank performance, he lacks size.
Speaker 3: He's not a very tall big guy, and I wonder
Speaker 3: if maybe that's what keeps him comfy over in AEW
Speaker 3: is the lack of height. But I would love to
Speaker 3: see if he could be a gigantic star over in
Speaker 3: WB and I mean, Cody Rhodes, at least from my perspective,
Speaker 3: was just searching to be a big star for so long,
Speaker 3: and now it's finally happened. I couldn't have predicted how
Speaker 3: big Cody Rhods would get in WWE.
Speaker 2: I would have never foresaw that.
Speaker 3: So I wonder if MJF watches that and goes, hmmm,
Speaker 3: I wonder if that could be me over Like, I'm
Speaker 3: much more talented, in Jeff's opinion than Cody Rhodes, so
Speaker 3: maybe you know, maybe he thinks, hey, that should be
Speaker 3: me over there.
Speaker 2: I like your speculations, sir. I like it very much,
Speaker 2: all right. I think for the final one that I'd
Speaker 2: like to see, And this is more because I can't
Speaker 2: think of the way to do it off the top
Speaker 2: of my head. And remember all these questions, I'm not
Speaker 2: pre reading these. I didn't even know which ones we
Speaker 2: were doing. I was reading the wrong one, so so
Speaker 2: bear with me on this. But I think I would
Speaker 2: try to see what they could do with Orange Cassidy,
Speaker 2: because I have no idea how they would book him,
Speaker 2: and I think that would be the challenge that I
Speaker 2: would present them, right Like, if I'm Orange Cassidy, and
Speaker 2: they're like, yo, we dig you man, your contracts up.
Speaker 2: You should come over here. He should like put it
Speaker 2: back on them and be like, like most artists should, Well,
Speaker 2: what's the plan? Show like you, what are you going
Speaker 2: to do? Because I'd be interested to see what their
Speaker 2: vision of him is, because to me, he's such an
Speaker 2: aw guy that I can't initially see him in WWE
Speaker 2: getting a push that would be equal to the push
Speaker 2: he's received in AEW But I'd be damn interested to
Speaker 2: see what they could do. They took Jay Usso from
Speaker 2: a tag team guy that was way overlooked and they were,
Speaker 2: you know, mid card to headlining WrestleMania soon, so they
Speaker 2: can do something with Orange Cassidy. How's that, Alex? Are
Speaker 2: you satisfied with that answer?
Speaker 3: I actually let me interrupt real quick. Go ahead, you
Speaker 3: got a fourth. Well, here's the thing I disagree with you.
Speaker 3: Oh and I'm gonna I've said a lot of controversial
Speaker 3: things on this podcast. I'm about to say the most
Speaker 3: controversial thing on this podcast that I've ever said. Okay, what,
Speaker 3: I don't want to see Orange Cassidy anywhere except like
Speaker 3: house shows. I think the first time you see Orange Cassidy,
Speaker 3: it's the funniest, coolest thing you've ever seen. And then
Speaker 3: the second time you see see Orange Cassidy, you nudge
Speaker 3: your buddy and go, oh, this is great. Watch this,
Speaker 3: You're gonna love this. And then the third time you
Speaker 3: see Orange Cassidy, you go big whoop. The fourth time
Speaker 3: you see it, you go, I don't care anymore, the
Speaker 3: fifth I just don't care anymore. So I wouldn't want
Speaker 3: to see Orange Cassidy really anywhere. So I totally pick away.
Speaker 3: I totally ok. I totally disagree with you. I was
Speaker 3: the complete opposite on that. When I first saw him,
Speaker 3: I didn't get him. I didn't want to get him.
Speaker 3: I thought it was hokey.
Speaker 2: But I thought the same thing with Babe when I
Speaker 2: first saw Adam Cole, and then eventually I came around,
Speaker 2: and then eventually I was like, dude, that I'm cold
Speaker 2: sick on the mic. And that's kind of how it
Speaker 2: hit with Orange Cassidy. It started off where I was like,
Speaker 2: what is he doing? Man? What's with these soft fake kicks?
Speaker 2: Like why is he doing that? And now when I
Speaker 2: watch it, I'm like, Yo, that's math funny. I gotta
Speaker 2: show my friends this.
Speaker 3: Well, there's a difference between music and jokes, right, Like
Speaker 3: when you go see Credence, you want to hear all
Speaker 3: the hits you like to re You like to hear music,
Speaker 3: and wrestlers are musicians. You want to see them wrestle.
Speaker 3: You want to see the music. But with like comedy, right,
Speaker 3: you better you can't hear the same joke over and over.
Speaker 2: We got to have new jokes.
Speaker 3: And I think that Orange Cassidy's a he's a comedian,
Speaker 3: he's a joke. So it's like, I've seen the joke.
Speaker 3: I get the joke. What else do you got? I
Speaker 3: want to see more music and less less joke.
Speaker 2: I get it. I think he has a pretty good
Speaker 2: balance of it. It's it's real limited. When he does
Speaker 2: he just does it. Wants a match, And the sunglasses
Speaker 2: thing is cool as shit. I don't care what anybody says.
Speaker 2: This ship is just badass. When the pulls them out
Speaker 2: of the referees pocket or puts them in your pocket,
Speaker 2: that's just fucking cool. He's like small, I know, but
Speaker 2: raymis Teradio is small and I love Ray and Sean
Speaker 2: Michael's as small as hell, and I love Sean Michaels.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like he's doing like a Johnny Cage meets
Speaker 3: some sort of comedic.
Speaker 2: I like it. I'm fine with it, but I just
Speaker 2: i've seen you just don't want to see it on
Speaker 2: w Doug what else you got? Well, now you're throwing me.
Speaker 2: You know what I want to see. I want to
Speaker 2: see Mercedes Monday go back to w W too. That's
Speaker 2: that's the one I would trade back. I don't. I
Speaker 2: haven't clicked with a single story they've done. And I
Speaker 2: think she's way cooler than how she's been portrayed. I
Speaker 2: think she's worthy of better stories than she's been given.
Speaker 2: And uh, that's what I know you agree with, so
Speaker 2: we can vetoed me Bro. I want her to get over.
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean, you know, sometimes you see a wrestler
Speaker 3: not getting any response from the audience and and you
Speaker 3: like it make you go good, I'm glad that that
Speaker 3: good person's not over or whatever. I don't enjoy watching
Speaker 3: her not get over. I I like I like her
Speaker 3: when she's a star.
Speaker 2: It's weird to hear an audience not be screaming her
Speaker 2: name or booing and cussing her name, and it's it
Speaker 2: has always been one or the other, and it's it's
Speaker 2: not right now, and I don't I don't dig that,
Speaker 2: So there, boom, there you go.
Speaker 1: The next one was coming from Peter Surrs and he
Speaker 1: says who ultimately dethrones Cody Man.
Speaker 2: I was ung on this. I thought he would have
Speaker 2: a little back and forth, but he's their new Sena,
Speaker 2: and it's really hard to bet against Sena unless there's
Speaker 2: an orton there to kind of go back and forth with.
Speaker 2: And I guess there can only be one of those,
Speaker 2: so it has to be Roman, right, But is Roman
Speaker 2: going to be a full timer and carry that weight
Speaker 2: all over again or is he going to try to
Speaker 2: make movies. So right now, I'm gonna say this isn't.
Speaker 2: I don't mean this as a cop out Nobody. He's
Speaker 2: the new face, he's the new brand. I don't think
Speaker 2: he's gonna lose it for a really long time. He's
Speaker 2: gonna win WrestleMania and probably not lose it again until
Speaker 2: the next WrestleMania. So I think they'll find ways to
Speaker 2: do stories the way they have the Kevin Owens thing,
Speaker 2: Cody went from having no story to a really cool
Speaker 2: one with Kevin Owens. So they can do it. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say zero people. What about you, dude, I
Speaker 2: that's tricky.
Speaker 3: I do think anybody that I could see taking it
Speaker 3: away from Cody is already kind of too famous and
Speaker 3: in a way moving on or at least becoming kind
Speaker 3: of part time, like the Ramins and the Scenas, Like
Speaker 3: they're kind of all moved on, right, And I don't
Speaker 3: see anybody. This is another kind of mean but controversial
Speaker 3: thing to say, is that, like, I'm not that excited
Speaker 3: about Jay Usso and Goonther, like that does nothing. I
Speaker 3: think Jays all those guys, I like all the rest
Speaker 3: of us, But that doesn't that's not a WrestleMania story
Speaker 3: to me, Goonther and jay Uso and.
Speaker 2: So it's not as big a title as Cody's title.
Speaker 2: I'm also not.
Speaker 3: A seth guy, Like, I don't think he's gonna be
Speaker 3: as big as like a Sena or any of these
Speaker 3: guys used to be. So for I, I some I
Speaker 3: definitely agree with you, Like, I don't know who could
Speaker 3: take it from Cody. My only guess would be it's
Speaker 3: gonna be one of these next guys who will slowly
Speaker 3: become the face like a bron Breaker.
Speaker 2: Or a La Knight.
Speaker 3: I'm still hold on hope to l a Knight, one
Speaker 3: of these kind of next guys who will transcend into
Speaker 3: the face of the of the industry.
Speaker 2: Jef, what do you think about Brown Breaker winning the
Speaker 2: Royal Rumble next year? And then I was one, Yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: I could see that a star, like just a star. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I get that. I heard he works Matt hard to backstage,
Speaker 2: like on his promos and stuff like that. I heard
Speaker 2: his work ethic is like top shelf. All right, that's
Speaker 2: that's good. Well, we disagree on a lot of stuff, man,
Speaker 2: but uh, I still love you, Bro.
Speaker 3: Not Orange Cassidy. I don't see him dethroning Cody.
Speaker 2: We disagree on SETH two. I think that's the ment.
Speaker 2: But I hear you, dude. It just makes me cry
Speaker 2: on the inside.
Speaker 1: This next one was coming from NERD David Freddy. Out
Speaker 1: of all the characters you played on screen, which one
Speaker 1: would you like to play again? But in the world
Speaker 1: of pro wrestling, your movies would make the best pro
Speaker 1: wrestling storyline.
Speaker 2: Man, that's tough, man, because like there's I know what
Speaker 2: you did is the easy answer, right, But if you
Speaker 2: think about it. Raised not like the best fighter. He
Speaker 2: gets like one shouted by Ryan's character. I don't remember
Speaker 2: his name, sorry, and he kind of gets beat up
Speaker 2: by the fishermen. I don't remember his name, sorry, And
Speaker 2: uh it's over twenty years ago, man, laughing at your career,
Speaker 2: and you go, you lucky. I remember my guy's name.
Speaker 2: I only do because I'm actively shooting the sequel to
Speaker 2: it right now. Otherwise that have been like from Mark Brian,
Speaker 2: Ryan Ray. It's right. So I don't think that's the one.
Speaker 2: And I can't do the cartoons because that's cheating. That
Speaker 2: would be that Jedi that I played in the Star
Speaker 2: Wars cartoon thing, and that counts. I think it counts.
Speaker 2: But it's not a movie, he said, movies, bro, So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the movie that nobody saw. Well,
Speaker 2: that like a few people saw because the Star Wars
Speaker 2: trailer was attached to it. But it was called Wing
Speaker 2: Commander and this dude his name that sucks. I don't
Speaker 2: remember his name either, but he was like he had
Speaker 2: this like power to like chart his way through space
Speaker 2: without a computer, without a NavCom right, and he had
Speaker 2: an AK forty seven that was modified to look all futuristic,
Speaker 2: and he shot fools with it, So he would probably
Speaker 2: be the best guy to come in for me in
Speaker 2: the wrestling world and win. I'm not trying to just
Speaker 2: lose all the time. I'm not trying to be a jobber.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to beat a champ. So I think that
Speaker 2: guy would have the best shot. But man, I can't
Speaker 2: remember his name. That sucks.
Speaker 3: What about the character you played where you killed that
Speaker 3: hot young chick and put her in a pool bin.
Speaker 2: Oh the girl in the pool man, he was a
Speaker 2: bitch bro like, he made soft decisions the whole storyline.
Speaker 2: You know, you'd be a pretty good heel. You know,
Speaker 2: be a good storyline, that's for sure. You'd love to
Speaker 2: see him get his ass beat. That's yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: good idea, Jeff, that's good.
Speaker 1: This next one, I hope I'll mess this up. Is
Speaker 1: coming from Cartik Merchra. Yeah, hey, Freddy, love your show.
Speaker 1: It's always a great listen prior to my boxing training
Speaker 1: on Fridays.
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah. Here's my question. What are your thoughts
Speaker 2: on AJ styles?
Speaker 1: WW Championship runs in twenty sixteen twenty seventeen with Max
Speaker 1: and Sina and Do you see him having a bright
Speaker 1: moment soon again.
Speaker 2: I remember it well because that was when he built
Speaker 2: the house that he built, which was SmackDown, and he
Speaker 2: had great championship matches against those guys. AJ's a lot older,
Speaker 2: so I think the story with AJ is like the
Speaker 2: Jimmy Connors Wimbledon story in the late eighties early nineties,
Speaker 2: where he was basically retired and no one gave him
Speaker 2: any credit, Like he wasn't even ranked in at the
Speaker 2: Wimbledon tournament. And he wins his first match. Oh, that's
Speaker 2: a nice story. He's in his forties, man, it's it's cute.
Speaker 2: He got one more and then he won his next
Speaker 2: match and everyone was like, god, damn, Jimmy Connors won
Speaker 2: another fucking matchup, wimbled in. Oh, well, this next guy's
Speaker 2: ranked like number thirteen, so he's fucking smoke him. And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, Jimmy Connors put it on
Speaker 2: his ass too, and they're like, hold the fuck on
Speaker 2: is Jimmy Connor is gonna go to the quarterfinals. It
Speaker 2: fucking wimbled it, and eventually everyone bought into this story.
Speaker 2: And then right when when America was behind him, you know,
Speaker 2: the age caught up to him and it was just
Speaker 2: too many matches in too many days, and Jimmy Connors
Speaker 2: couldn't win the Wimbledon title that everyone you know thought
Speaker 2: he was gonna. So I think that could be a
Speaker 2: really cool story for AJ Styles. The only reason I
Speaker 2: think that might not happen is because I think that's
Speaker 2: gonna be the John Cena story, which is he keeps
Speaker 2: saying the championship seventeen seventeen, so I can hand it
Speaker 2: to the man that gets eighteen. And to have that,
Speaker 2: I think seene as at a point in his career
Speaker 2: where there's where he wants that tragic kind of ending
Speaker 2: instead of like the hero's ending, because he was the
Speaker 2: hero for so long and he's changed a lot since
Speaker 2: I worked there. So that's why I think he sees
Speaker 2: he's like a cooler, unique story and so I think
Speaker 2: that might be his storyline where he loses a big
Speaker 2: match at WrestleMania and the other dude and the other
Speaker 2: dude wins. So I don't know about Agent, but I
Speaker 2: think maybe you could give him something like that because
Speaker 2: I think this is his final, like probably his last contract.
Speaker 3: What about you, Jeff, I had hoped that AJ Styles
Speaker 3: would be the he's the right age to be the
Speaker 3: next guy. As far as what we were just talking about,
Speaker 3: how I was saying, like, who's the next Sena, Who's
Speaker 3: the next Roman reigns? And I think I thought aj
Speaker 3: Styles was on track to be that kind of guy
Speaker 3: who just was no matter what you knew, he was
Speaker 3: going to win. I don't I'm not good at predicting
Speaker 3: these type of things, but I wouldn't mind seeing him
Speaker 3: dethrone Cody. I think that that's maybe a guy I
Speaker 3: wasn't thinking of a second ago when I when I said.
Speaker 2: That, I think a gas match.
Speaker 3: He's so worthy and I think he's paid his dues.
Speaker 3: Remember how much we want wanted him to come over
Speaker 3: to WWE for so long and and then we got him,
Speaker 3: and he was getting pushed for you know, years and years.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I don't think he's done.
Speaker 3: So I think there's hope for sure, and I'd love
Speaker 3: to see him get that big uh that big push.
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not going to predict if it's gonna happen,
Speaker 3: but I'd like to see it.
Speaker 2: We blew that trivia question back in the day that
Speaker 2: Alex asked us on the Phenomenal one, and I went
Speaker 2: to Fiam and said taker and of course it was
Speaker 2: aj Styles.
Speaker 1: All right, Alex. Next, this is coming from Hank Nizzle.
Speaker 1: How did you and Jeff meet? What's the story with
Speaker 1: how Jeff joined the podcast? The podcast is definitely better
Speaker 1: with him. I feel like you did this with your burner,
Speaker 1: Jeff love the pro Freddy Prince sound effects too. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that means when you're like body slamming people and
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 2: Oh those are those are top shelf sound effects man,
Speaker 2: that's like Michael Winslow's son. That's that's basically me. Mexicans, Loved.
Speaker 3: I know you're Puerto Rican, but Mexicans, you know, are
Speaker 3: always speaking with their sounds. You know, half half of
Speaker 3: his act, half of Fluffy's act is noises. You know,
Speaker 3: half of the language is whistling, you know, so I think.
Speaker 2: It's in George Lopez has done that. I've heard of
Speaker 2: Latin that. My dad even did that. You do the
Speaker 2: whole do the whistle. That was a good try.
Speaker 3: H we met because he was a guest on my podcast,
Speaker 3: the Jeff Dive Friendship Podcast. We had a mutual friend
Speaker 3: Josh Wolf, and I'm I'm a fan of Freddy the
Speaker 3: same way everyone else is. And then so I was like, oh, dude,
Speaker 3: I'd love to have Freddy on my podcast. And Josh
Speaker 3: is like, dude, I know you and I know Freddy.
Speaker 3: You guys would be great friends. And so I was like,
Speaker 3: if you could set that up, that'd be awesome. And
Speaker 3: then I like to use this term, we fell into friendship.
Speaker 3: You know, the second I met Freddy, I was like,
Speaker 3: I love this guy. To hang out with him anytime
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, you fall in love. I
Speaker 3: fell into friendship with Freddy. And then we just kept
Speaker 3: going back and forth talking about wrestling on our phones,
Speaker 3: and then.
Speaker 2: We and now we're bros for life. Deal with it, America.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: This next one is from Ian Kennedy. Good Day, Freddy
Speaker 1: and Jeff. I listened to the podcast weekly. My son
Speaker 1: and I are off to Brisbane tomorrow to attend ae
Speaker 1: W Grand Slam. Hell yeah, we went to Perth for
Speaker 1: the Elimination Chamber. Have you thought about running the Freederation
Speaker 1: in Australia. There's a large independent wrestling scene here. Last December,
Speaker 1: our local show in Canberra, Slam Wrestling had over two
Speaker 1: thousand people. Attend rage in the cage.
Speaker 2: That's h First of all, I love Australia, man. I've
Speaker 2: worked there a bunch. We did the first Scooby movie
Speaker 2: there and we basically lived there for six months. That's
Speaker 2: how long it took the film movies back then. And
Speaker 2: I've been to Brisbane and had a lot of fun there.
Speaker 2: I've been to Sydney, had a lot of fun there.
Speaker 2: We filmed in the Gold Coast, had a lot of
Speaker 2: fun there, but that was more like old people. So
Speaker 2: it was like like old school casinos where people were
Speaker 2: playing bingo and lots of golf. And I'm not into
Speaker 2: golf or bingos, so that quite wasn't quite my town.
Speaker 2: But I loved Sydney and Melbourne. I've never been to,
Speaker 2: but my wife's been there a bunch. My wife's even
Speaker 2: dove the freaking Barrier reef in the nineties. Man, like
Speaker 2: back in the day. She's a hard my wife more
Speaker 2: artcore than people realize. Man. She'd be jumping out of
Speaker 2: planes and shit if the family would let her. But anyway,
Speaker 2: I talked to a stunt guy when I was shooting
Speaker 2: I know you did last summer down there, and he
Speaker 2: was talking to me about wrestling. He was like, dude,
Speaker 2: I listen, May I listened to your podcast. I was like,
Speaker 2: fucking in Australia, that's badass, man. And he was talking
Speaker 2: about Big Wrestling Head and he was saying the same thing,
Speaker 2: and him and I were kind of fantasizing about what
Speaker 2: a wrestling federation would look like in Australia, and I
Speaker 2: basically came to the conclusion where it was like, Yo,
Speaker 2: what if I could like like Braveheart where he's like
Speaker 2: talking to Angus McFadden's character and he's like, unite us,
Speaker 2: Unite the clans, Unite the klans, And that's what we
Speaker 2: came to. It was like, we got to get all
Speaker 2: the indie feds, unite them all, bring it all under
Speaker 2: one roof, and have that be the traveling one so
Speaker 2: you can just combine all their fans into one. And
Speaker 2: I was like, man, if I actually live down here,
Speaker 2: that would be an achievable dream. But living in Australia
Speaker 2: is just not an achievable dream for me. In general.
Speaker 2: I like being in America. This is cool ass country too.
Speaker 2: Australia's badass. I love working there, but I love being home.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so it just wasn't a reality at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, and I wouldn't want to do
Speaker 2: it remotely because that's a one foot in kind of thing. Man,
Speaker 2: that's sort of a bitch move and that I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't do that. I'm all in or I'm all out.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I really love that question, and I would
Speaker 2: love to unite the clans, but brave Heart, I am not.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of tough to move your family and
Speaker 3: everything to a whole different country.
Speaker 2: To chase my dream. We got listener reviews. Jeff, do
Speaker 2: do do? Do?
Speaker 3: Do do?
Speaker 2: For this first one? This first one's from a Mark Underscore. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to mess up your name, bro Underscore
Speaker 2: a Mark and the subject is Seth Rollins would be
Speaker 2: furious and this fool gave us a five star review.
Speaker 2: Uh so you know it's money. Uh here we go.
Speaker 2: Does anyone remember when Seth Freaking Rollins. I love that
Speaker 2: he used the freaking in there, when Seth Freaking Rollins
Speaker 2: would talk about how the WWE needs a real champion,
Speaker 2: not someone who's a part timer like Rogan. Rogan Roman,
Speaker 2: we miss you, Jeff. I want to acknowledge you, but
Speaker 2: you're busy being a part timer. Bro, he thought you
Speaker 2: a part timer, but he loves you anyway. What's your
Speaker 2: response to a Mark dude?
Speaker 3: First of all, a Mark, thank you for the kind
Speaker 3: words before you dunked on me.
Speaker 2: I do love you, buddy.
Speaker 3: Uh. Well, you know what, guess who's a part timer
Speaker 3: in pro wrestling?
Speaker 1: The rock?
Speaker 3: And do you get disappointed when he shows up? You
Speaker 3: don't you go, oh my gosh, the rocks here. You
Speaker 3: don't cry about all the times the rocks not there.
Speaker 3: I'm doing my best. What it is is I've never
Speaker 3: had success before, you know, so then with this six,
Speaker 3: this new success, I'm managing it terribly. I'll go to
Speaker 3: the airport and then they'll be like, oh, your flight's
Speaker 3: delayed seven hours, and so then I've got to just
Speaker 3: miss an episode. So I'm doing my best. I am
Speaker 3: as committed as I can be. I love you and
Speaker 3: uh and I'm trying my best. I second that emotion.
Speaker 2: A second that emotion. And he would always be here,
Speaker 2: but a lot of times he's stuck circling the burbanker. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's terrible.
Speaker 3: That's such a stressful feeling too, because you can't text
Speaker 3: when you're in the air. Like they they all these
Speaker 3: airplanes say they offer Wi Fi. It's the worst Wi
Speaker 3: Fi in the world.
Speaker 2: You know, the only WiFi that works. And nobody ever
Speaker 2: gets to fly this airline because they only go like
Speaker 2: one or two places. Hawaiian airlines really best. Why do
Speaker 2: I fly a lot of frigging airplanes? I just flew
Speaker 2: Kuanas Quantas was pretty solid, but there's a dead patch
Speaker 2: because you're going over the middle of nothing. Right, Hawaiian
Speaker 2: airlines from La to and it also goes all the
Speaker 2: way to Atlanta. I think sometimes to Hawaii is five
Speaker 2: star Internet. It's just best, the best flight attendance, the
Speaker 2: coolest captains. They talk to you. They don't you don't
Speaker 2: miss shit. They're like, yo, there's whales. Check it out.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh shit, there's well, Like they're so cool man,
Speaker 2: I'll freaking love Hawaii. And their seats are comfortable, and
Speaker 2: if you pay for first class, you don't get like
Speaker 2: screwed on a seat that is like just like one
Speaker 2: inch bigger, Like they're actually bigger seats, so you'll see
Speaker 2: like big dudes and basketball players sitting up there and
Speaker 2: they're like actually comfortable instead of like squished up, like
Speaker 2: we're taking my family to Hawaii because we didn't make
Speaker 2: the playoffs. It's always better that way. So yeah, so
Speaker 2: they have good Internet. Thank you for the review, underscore
Speaker 2: a mark and we appreciate you. Next up, Oh, this
Speaker 2: is a great name, Anxious Flamingo. Anxious Flamingo's given us
Speaker 2: five stars and the subject is the name of our show.
Speaker 2: And here's the review. My favorite podcast to start the day.
Speaker 2: Freddie and Jeff seem like good dudes. We are good dudes.
Speaker 2: Both are big wrestling fans who keep their opinions honest,
Speaker 2: but in a positive way. Freddie's behind the scenes of
Speaker 2: when he worked in WWE is a cool feature that
Speaker 2: leads to some six side quests. That's funny that you
Speaker 2: said the way I would say it. Just comedic background
Speaker 2: leads to some good laughs. It feels like I'm hanging
Speaker 2: out with friends talking wrestling. I've had a hard time
Speaker 2: getting oh whoa wait a minute, I've had a hard
Speaker 2: time getting into WWE, so some episodes I'm just here
Speaker 2: for the ride more aew would be awesome if you
Speaker 2: have to appeal to the masses or just aren't as
Speaker 2: big of aw fans, I get it. I'm just as
Speaker 2: interested in hanging out and hearing how life is going
Speaker 2: for y'all. Look forward to the new season. Take care yo,
Speaker 2: that's nice, Anxious Flamingo. I totally hear you. If you
Speaker 2: were listening to us last year, you heard a lot
Speaker 2: more ae W. And then we got a user uh,
Speaker 2: a listener review that said, hey man, all you're doing
Speaker 2: is talk about AW. You hit us with some WWE,
Speaker 2: and so I try to take people's critiques and criticisms
Speaker 2: to heart and UH and implement that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: So we have been talking more w w E. The
Speaker 2: only reason we haven't been talking as much AEW lately
Speaker 2: is because I don't feel that they've been focused that
Speaker 2: much on the character stories outside of like Ricochet and
Speaker 2: Swerve and maybe one other, whereas ww's got like five
Speaker 2: stories a week that it can hit you with. UH,
Speaker 2: So we've been speaking about them a little bit less
Speaker 2: just because I can't. I can't tell you how match was, Like,
Speaker 2: I'm not a wrestler, I'm not an anything, Like, what
Speaker 2: what the fuck do you want to know that for?
Speaker 2: I can comment more on like the stories and the
Speaker 2: promos and and that that kind of stuff, But Uh,
Speaker 2: but I appreciate you and if we can get more
Speaker 2: AW in there, we will. Jeff, what do you think, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's tough, Like I think that you know, we go
Speaker 3: in in and out the way that the wrestling brands
Speaker 3: go in and out. So it's like, you know, when wb'
Speaker 3: is the most popular thing on the market, like we
Speaker 3: kind of tend to talk about that more. And when
Speaker 3: AW is popping, then we like to talk about aw Moore.
Speaker 2: But we you know, we will do.
Speaker 3: Wherever Alex, our fearless leader, guides us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, blame Alex. Yeah, the best way to go. Stay
Speaker 2: tuned for Unsanctioned Thursdays. You guys were going to get
Speaker 2: into more of your questions. It will be our final
Speaker 2: final episode of the season, but this was our final
Speaker 2: episode of the regular airing Wrestling with Friends on behalf
Speaker 2: of Jeff Die and are Awesome producer Alex. We wish
Speaker 2: all of you a wonderful, wonderful time off as well.
