They're already selling his merch Seattle 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: Metal Settle Miedo I said Seattle. That's not a word, 43 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 2: but yeah, he's making a comeback. And my favorite type 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: of wrestling istre, My favorite wrestlers are lucha ors. He's 45 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: one of the coolest breaking luchadores out there. And I 46 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: can't wait to hear a WWE crowd scream Settle in 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 2: the middle of his match, and I just think that's 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: just one of the coolest pops for me when that happens, 49 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 2: and the aw crowds were really good at it. Ww 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: crowd's gotta step your game up. You got to make 51 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: sure you're in sync. I know it's a little more, 52 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: it's a little different in WWE. That's a big part 53 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 2: of his game. And if y'all f it up, it's 54 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: not on him, it's on you. 55 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: I want to say that I have learned my lesson. 56 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: It's been forty one years of life and I've finally 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: learned my lesson and I'm going to learn my lesson 58 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: and practice it with Penta because here's the thing. My 59 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: entire life, I'm always trying to see people's faces. You know, 60 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: I was like what I was like, when am I 61 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: gonna see Ray Mysterio's face? 62 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 2: When am I gonna see it? And then ray. 63 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: Masteria gets demasked and I was disappointed. I wish that 64 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: I had never seen his face. 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: Then Kane the mask comes off. 66 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: I said, Kine, I want to see Kin's face. When 67 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: am I going to see it? Then Kane has no mask, 68 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, I liked Kane better with a mask. 69 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: I waited three Mortal Kombats to see what sub Zero 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: looked like without his mask on. 71 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: Then I finally got. 72 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Sub Zero, and I go I didn't want to see 73 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: sub Zero without his mask. So let me just officially 74 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: say I never want to see Penta's face. I should 75 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: have just been following the rules the whole time with 76 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: these masks, and I'm excited to watch Penta not only 77 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: come back to w B where he might be paid 78 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: better and appreciated better, I'm excited about him keeping his 79 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: mask on. 80 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Lucia, Doris, keep your masks. The son of 81 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: a bitch, try to take it off. Just call me. 82 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: I'll come down. I got your back. I'll run in 83 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: from the crowd. I can beat securities, ass, don't even 84 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: worry about that. Get in there. I got your back. 85 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: So ww Raw debuted on Netflix. I wasn't able to 86 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: go ww for whatever reason made it super difficult. But 87 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: I do want to say Netflix tried to step in 88 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: at the last minute, and they really tried to help 89 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 2: us out, and they offered us some tickets, but I 90 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: had a group of eight it was mainly kids, and 91 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: they just couldn't provide us enough seats together because it 92 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: was so last minute for and I couldn't split the 93 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: kids up because that would be dumb, and I couldn't 94 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: leave them unattended because they're very young. So we just 95 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: weren't able to go. But I did want to thank 96 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: Netflix for trying. Wwe Man, you guys were weird, and 97 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: I hope next time you guys aren't so weird. But 98 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: now Netflix runs stuff. I have friends over there, and 99 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: if you guys still want to be weird with me, 100 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: that's cool, and I'll just I'll just talk to Netflix. 101 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: The show started off with Roman reigns and Solo Sokoa 102 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: finally paying off this story line that really was just 103 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: a huge shot in the arm to the bloodline storyline. 104 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: You got to remember, this has been going back over 105 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: eight years, and to be able to keep a story 106 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: this compelling for people for this long is incredibly hard 107 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: to do. It's hard to do on network television, it's 108 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: hard to do on streaming services, and it's the hardest 109 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: to do in a professional wrestling format where storylines and 110 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 2: characters can literally just get erased, especially in WWE. It 111 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 2: doesn't happen so much in aw although they sometimes struggle 112 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: to have a storage period unless it's like they're top guys. 113 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: It's really hard to do this in WWE because if 114 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: you have like one bad week of television where they 115 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: don't feel the crowds behind it, they'll just remove your 116 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 2: character and change your name. They'll literally change your name 117 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: and make you be someone else, which is psychotic to me. 118 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: They did it while I work there, They've done it 119 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: since I've worked there. They did it before I work there. 120 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: For them to stay this consistent and stay this true 121 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: to that story and those characters is commendable. I don't 122 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: want this to be a compliment that sounds like an insult. 123 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 2: I want this to be a company. I'm very grateful 124 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: as a fan of wrestling. They've stayed, they've stayed the course, 125 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 2: and they always have someone sort of steering this ship 126 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 2: in positive directions. Did you think that's a thing? One 127 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: hundred percent one hundred percent. I saw Triple H fight 128 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: for stories in production meetings against Vince and Kevin Dunn 129 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: and Kevin Dunwood, because Kevin Dune would kill things all 130 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: the time, and it was shocking to me that he 131 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: had that much power over creative stuff when when he 132 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily like a story guy. He was he was 133 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: the director of the show for those that don't know, 134 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: but he would just be like, that guy's boring, and 135 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, that guy's career was over done done, 136 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: And Triple H was one of the only wrestlers or 137 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: high level guys like the creative teams always fought PS 138 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: three Bird Hayes always fought Martin Anderson would always fight 139 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 2: for his guy like everybody will fight. But Hunter was 140 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: the one that would get listened to the most because 141 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: he's the son in law of the of the boss. 142 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: But a lot of times Vince would just shut him 143 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: down to and you would see careers just get smashed on. 144 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: So I think consistency is something that Triple H knows 145 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: is important, and that's why we've seen such an improvement 146 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: in the brand since Vince was gone. Not to say 147 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: Vince didn't do quality things too, because sometimes he did, 148 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: but very often these things would just die after two 149 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: three weeks instead of allowing a story to develop and 150 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: allowing a character develop organically. If it didn't work in 151 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: the first couple of weeks, that was gone and all 152 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: the work that everyone put in was just wasted. So yeah, man, 153 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: I think that's one hundred percent of Triple Age thing. 154 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: But this match was awesome. First of all. I think 155 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: I'm trying to think if there was a match that 156 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: wasn't awesome, even the finishes that I didn't like, the 157 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: matches were still great. This was fantastic. There were run 158 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: ins from other members of the New Evil bloodline, there 159 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: were members of the old Super Nice Cool blood line. 160 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: Kevin Owens came in there with an f you to 161 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: Roman Reigns because he hates Roman Reigns, and then he 162 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: took that story to SmackDown, where him and Cody Rhodes 163 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: continue to fight. We can get in to that if 164 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: we have time, but this match was super cool. Roman 165 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: Rains hit him with a couple of spears, put them 166 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: through a table one two three on the pin the 167 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: Rock who came out early and got a baby based reaction. 168 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: He leaned into it. He got a lot of love 169 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, and he came out and he took 170 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: the lafalla from Paul Hayman and he put it around 171 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: the neck of Roman Reigns, where it rightfully belongs. Jay. 172 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: It should either be on the neck of Jeff Die 173 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: or Roman Reigns. Those are the only two men worthy enough. 174 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: I like that. But yeah, man, this was a ton 175 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: of fun and it was a great sort of end 176 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: of a chapter in this book. It's like reading those 177 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: Harry Potter books, like the last two were so friggin 178 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 2: long and like you'd end a chapter and like the 179 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: chapter felt like you read a whole book. That's what 180 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: this kind of was. And I don't know why I'm 181 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 2: relating it to Harry Potter, but they're both for kids 182 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: and fantasy stuff and I like all that. But I 183 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: really like this match. I'm looking forward to seeing where 184 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: the story's going to go next, because they really haven't 185 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: let anyone down even once since the Bloodline Briggin started. 186 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: They haven't. I don't think they've made a misstep. Jet 187 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: I can't think of a story part of the story 188 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: where I was like ef or men or oh that 189 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: sucked I've always just great. That's dope. Yeah, it's always 190 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: been great. 191 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: I was a little hopeful that maybe you we would 192 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: get some sort of rock Roman Reigns beef, you know, 193 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: like kind of something that would suggest that that's down 194 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: the line, and we did get that on Monday. But 195 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's not gonna happen. It's just like 196 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: I kind of thought that, Oh Netflix, Monday night, I thought. 197 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: But it was still really awesome and really good. 198 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: I love that it felt like you got like a 199 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: little glimpse into each chapter of the stories that they've 200 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: already told, where you had Sammy's Ain come out, you 201 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: had you had each kind of part of it, which 202 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: I which I really liked, and so really really really 203 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: masterfully done. 204 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: I loved it. I do want to shout out one 205 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: person that was in the crowd because he got the 206 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: biggest pop of the night, and that's my friend Macaulay 207 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: Culkin admitted to the show, and the crowd was so 208 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: high for him and the way he kind of presented 209 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: himself with so much cooler that. I love Seth too, 210 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: But Matt got the biggest pop of the night. It 211 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: was it was so he got a bigger pop than Hogan. Well, 212 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: I guess they hated Hogan, but they loved Matt so 213 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: balanced now, but he got the biggest pop of the night. 214 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: That made me laugh a lot. I really wish I 215 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 2: could have been there. It would have been fun, but 216 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: it didn't work out anyway. Triple Edge came out and 217 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: talked they thank their new Netflix executives, which was a 218 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: little weird to me. That breaking. I don't know if 219 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 2: it was weird to anyone else, but I kind of 220 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 2: don't want to know about the people behind the scenes. 221 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: I don't want to know about the executives behind the scenes. 222 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: There was a time when executives didn't do interviews, you 223 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: know what I mean, where agents and managers didn't do interviews. 224 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 2: That stopped in the early two thousands when they kind 225 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 2: of wanted to get famous too, so they started doing interviews. 226 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: I remember reading one where his agent was taking credit 227 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: for this other actors basically entire career. And I was 228 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: friends with the actor. I'm like, yo, did you read this? 229 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, that's that guy's not my agent anymore. 230 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: I inspired him. I was just he leit. He was like, well, 231 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: maybe you know now that we represent and we can 232 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 2: take him to the next level. I'm like, you don't 233 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: do that. He's famous. All you do is say yes 234 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 2: or no. The scripts that come in, Like it's one 235 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: thing if you're building an actor up from the ground up. 236 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: But this dude was a stab or it was a woman. Actually, 237 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: this woman was established and they had kind of made 238 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: her bones in the business already, like you know, she's 239 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: the top shell b actor. It's like, what are we 240 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: talking about here. So that's always a little weird to 241 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: me when when they put the spotlight on on the people, 242 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: you know, behind the scenes. But the crowd didn't seem 243 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: to hate it. They didn't boo any of the executives. 244 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: If I really thought they were gonna but they but 245 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: they didn't. So that was good. So it was all 246 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: love and it felt good. But we'll get into some 247 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: more rest. 248 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: It feels like like the victory lap of Netflix. So 249 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: it's like you saw them down there. It's them being 250 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: like we're king now, like we own everything. Look and 251 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: we're all even enjoying the you know, look, we're dabbing 252 00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: up the rock. 253 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: We're at a side. 254 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: It felt very much like we own the industry now. 255 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: That is what it felt like, to me, like a 256 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: big party, like it's opening night and we're gonna sit 257 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: in the front. 258 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: And it did feel like a party. And you know, 259 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: the the wrestling fan in me, who's very cynical, goes, man, 260 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: this is probably the first wrestling show they ever saw. 261 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: And then the optimist in me goes, hey, man, this 262 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 2: is probably the first wrestling show they ever saw. And 263 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: I'm a little like split and torn on, you know 264 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: what I mean. In one way, it's good because we're 265 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: introducing new people to wrestling, and hopefully they connected to 266 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: one of these characters and they like it and they 267 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: want to bring their kids to a show, or maybe 268 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 2: they even't want to watch once in a while. But 269 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: then the cynic in me is like, man, they're just 270 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: here for the for the pot. So I don't know 271 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 2: which one is right. I definitely had both feelings at the. 272 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Same I thought they were the mean street posse down there, 273 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, That's what it looked like. 274 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: Were these guys that when Shane McMahon just pops his 275 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: head in hell, yeah, you go, what is it? All right? 276 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: Let's talk some wrestling. Well, let's talk about one of 277 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: our favorites, real Rickley and Morgan battled for the women's championship. Finally, 278 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: both women are healthy, no injuries, thank god. Storyline has 279 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: been good. It's had ups and downs because of injuries, 280 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: though not by any fault of the creative team or 281 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 2: any fault of the talent, simply injuries that slowed things down. 282 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: Dominic's awesome. I know he's a heel, but he's my 283 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: favorite babyface in professional wrestling because that to me, he's 284 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: the victim in this and he's torn between two women 285 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 2: that are both manipulative. It's just one is manipulative for 286 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,599 Speaker 2: herself and the other's manipulative for herself. But Dominic is 287 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: a victim in this. Just remember that. Show some sympathy 288 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: for him. His mustache is glorious, His mullet's glorious. Man 289 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: loves chicken Tenders, And I don't care what you people say. 290 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: You know you love chicken tenders too, so don't even 291 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: act like you don't, Jeff, you like chicken tenders, right, 292 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: everybody likes chicken tenders. So they had a match. They wrestle, 293 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 2: and finally the belt is back around the waste of 294 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: the most excellent, biggest, baddest, meanest looking woman. She looks 295 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: like she could beat up the whole roster. Rear Ripley. 296 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: I just got back from Australia. She's Australian. I got 297 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: a lot of love for the people down there. Let 298 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: me tell you something. Everyone in Australia looks like her. 299 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: All the women are smoking hot, they're all in great shape. 300 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: All the dudes are in great shape. They're all good looking. 301 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: I asked a buddy who I made friends with when 302 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 2: I was down there. I was like, how come everybody 303 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: in such great freaking shape in Australia. He goes, first 304 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: of all, we're not. He's like, our older people are. 305 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: He goes, but we have sports once a week. We 306 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: have pe every day, but we have one day a 307 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: week where it's all sports. We don't do any academics. 308 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: It's just a sports day. I was like, Oh, that's 309 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: why you guys rock at the Summer Olympics. That's what 310 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: you got. Yeah, so they really focus on their physical 311 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: fitness there. Real Ripley is super fit. I think she 312 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: was a volleyball player before she was a professional wrestler. 313 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: But she's awesome, man, She's the champ. They're gonna have 314 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: Monday Night Row Tonight we record these on Mondays, so 315 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to her promo. I'm looking forward 316 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: to seeing what's next for her. But I think it 317 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: could still be live because Becky's not back yet, so 318 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: I don't know who would fill that spot. Did you 319 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: have any ideas as to what's next or were you 320 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: just kind of living in the moment and enjoying it? Oh? 321 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: I was loving it. 322 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: I love Ria Ripley. I have so many thoughts on 323 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: this match. But I thought that Becky was gonna come back. 324 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: That's what I guessed, or I assumed, was like, Oh, 325 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: this is Monday night, Rob, we got Netflix, We'll see 326 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: Becky come back in here and you know, stand off 327 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: or maybe stand up at the top of the ramp 328 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: and look at Rio Ripley. You know now that she 329 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: has the belt around her waist, But we didn't get that, 330 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: so I was very confused. 331 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: Did you hear that maybe that was supposed to happen 332 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: and then they switched it last minute for the undertaker spot. 333 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: Did you hear that? Because I kind of saw a 334 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: little bit of that online. 335 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: No, I didn't hear that. I just assumed there'd be 336 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: some chick. I assumed Becky, but like I thought. I 337 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: thought there'd be some woman, you know, Jade Cargill, somebody 338 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: would come down and do like a spot. I thought 339 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: the underthink Undertaker thing was insane to me. Why what, 340 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: what the hell does they came out of nowhere? 341 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: If I know what they were trying to do, Like 342 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: they're saying, like he's the legend, He's going to give 343 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: her the rub, but I didn't think she needed the rub, 344 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: and also rather Becky come out. Yeah, it was a 345 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: little off off putting because I was kind of like, 346 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: well was he do? He just did a hot lap 347 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: and then yeah, I said, way to go, Really your badass? 348 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: Like I already think we as badass. I didn't think 349 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: needed an extra rub. 350 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: I went, I love the Undertaker and I love the 351 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: American badass? How does that coincide with each other? I 352 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: like all the parties involved, but I'm going, what is happening? 353 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: But I just expected a woman. 354 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: I thought. 355 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: I hoped for Becky to come out and kind of 356 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: kind of give us a peak of what's next now 357 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: that Ria's champ. So yeah, I was confused by that. 358 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: But I will say that real Ripley Live Morgan match 359 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: was awesome. I really enjoyed it, which I'm pretty critical 360 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: of female wrestling, and I really enjoyed the entire match. 361 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: I also love that Ria hit her with her finishing 362 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: move so many times. It felt it felt like, you know, 363 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: I'm always I'm always trying to get back to the 364 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: circus days of wrestling, like I want like a feet 365 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: of strength, and it looked like Ria was like getting 366 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: fatigued giving her her finishing move every single time. 367 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: It was so good. Yeah, the mat was a great 368 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: story man. Yeah, And I don't think that was her 369 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: genuinely fatigued at all. I really think that was a 370 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 2: conscious choice by her showing it's getting harder and harder 371 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 2: as the matches goes longer and longer. That I've seen 372 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: them do that even when I work there, like the 373 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: agents that for those who don't know the term agent. 374 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: Most of you guys are are hardcore fans, so you don't, 375 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: but bear with me. For the ones who don't, they're 376 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: like the fight choreographer, and they're usually old school wrestlers. 377 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 2: Usually they're always old school wrestlers, and that's something that 378 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: they would I saw like guys like Orna Anderson and 379 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 2: Dean Malenko talk about with the younger wrestlers when I 380 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: was there, and I would watch them kind of coach 381 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: these these these young wrestlers through those types of of 382 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: conscious choices, like make yourself look tired because they do 383 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: wrestl so they can rest up, you know what I mean. 384 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 2: So there was no there was no. I don't think 385 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: there was genuine fatigue there. I just think Ria is 386 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: that good and makes us be Yeah. Man, she's a stud. 387 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: She's a total stud. All right, enough with the ladies. Ladies, 388 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: you got some time. But now it's time to talk 389 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 2: about some dudes. Two dudes that are pretty great on 390 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 2: the microphone. Two dudes that hate each other. No they do, 391 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 2: but they made us think that they do. And that's 392 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 2: seth Rollins and see him punk. I was wrong on this, 393 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 2: but I want to talk about why I was wrong, 394 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: And I don't quite know. This is going to sort 395 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 2: of be free for him, and I'm just kind of 396 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 2: throwing this off there. When I worked there, there was 397 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 2: a philosophy that the older dudes all kind of agreed with, 398 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 2: which is that now it's time to put the younger 399 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: guys over. Now it's time to I've had my time, 400 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: Now it's your time. I'm gonna give you a great match, 401 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna put you over. And that still seems 402 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 2: to exist in W W E and AE W a lot, 403 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 2: except with Cmpunk. And I'm I'm telling everyone this right now, 404 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: I'm never betting against Cmpunk again, whether I think he 405 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 2: should lose or not, because he's never gonna lose the war. 406 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: He might use a battle, but he's never gonna lose 407 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: a war. And I guess he's gonna be Champ again, 408 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 2: which is weird to me because he's an older dude, 409 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: and just that that old school philosophy of like the 410 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: guys like Arn Anderson, Dean Maliko and all those guys 411 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: that when I when I worked there, Fit Finley, all 412 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: these guys, you know, they were there in the later 413 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: part of their career to make sure to either put 414 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 2: over the new guy or to help solidify the established 415 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 2: dudes as as the man now. And I guess Sampunk's 416 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 2: wants to still be the man, and it wants to 417 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: be the lead of the movie, so to speak, and 418 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: he's going to be. That just has to be something 419 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: that they worked out before he signed. Because it happened 420 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: with Dream, It's gonna happen with Seth. It's gonna happen 421 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 2: with whoever's next for him, and I guess he's gonna 422 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: be Champ, which is cool for Sampunk fans. It's just 423 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: weird to me because it seems to break this rule 424 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 2: or this understanding that the older generation had when I 425 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: worked there. But things evolve and change, and maybe I'm 426 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: just outdated and don't know, but I know this. I'm 427 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: not betting against him again, even if I think he should. 428 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 2: I thought he should have lost that match. I thought 429 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 2: it should have been Seth rawlins. I could already see 430 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: that the promo that Seth was gonna cut on Monday, 431 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: Son of a bitch. I did what I said I 432 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: was going to do. And now, like all the promises 433 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: that Seth made it, his promos are breaken promises and 434 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 2: a baby face can't have that, at least that's how 435 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 2: I was taught. So I guess maybe they're gonna turn 436 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,239 Speaker 2: him heal because the healed promises can get broken all 437 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: the time, or maybe they're not and he's just gonna 438 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: be the badass guy. But it was weird to see 439 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: set lose for me. I know most people were excited 440 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 2: because everybody loves see him Punk, but I really thought 441 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 2: Seth should have won that match. What did you think? 442 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: I agree with what you're saying, But I also I 443 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: don't think that CM punk sees himself as the old guy. 444 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: I really don't. 445 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: I don't think that CM punk has ever followed any 446 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: sort of quote unquote wrestling. 447 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: Rules about that. That's kind yeah, yeah, beats to his 448 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 2: own drum. 449 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: He is the Punk of wrestling, and so I think 450 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: for him, it's like maybe in ten years we'll see 451 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: him put someone over, or he's. 452 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: Still wrestling in ten years, and that would be insane 453 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: to me. I just that's crazy. You're probably prappy. 454 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: He will, He'll come out even if he's not doing 455 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: a match every single week, he'll still be in wrestling. 456 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: You know, we still see Rick Flair and Hulk Cogan 457 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: and all these guys. So you know, even even see 458 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: him Punk, I'm not falling for this or not see 459 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: him by John Cena, even the John Sam, I'm not 460 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: falling for this. Like it's my final tour. It isn't. 461 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: You're gonna be around, You're gonna come back every three weeks. 462 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: It's like they never go anywhere. 463 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 2: I say it, Yeah, you're right, you talk me off 464 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: the Brian Danielson ledge with this when I was like, no, 465 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: he's gone, and you're like, dude, he's not gone. 466 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: If they die, we get to mourn them. Other than that, 467 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: that's it. So I don't know. I think it'll be interesting. 468 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: I think this CEM Punk still has a lot of 469 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: stuff he wants to do and doesn't really see him 470 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: in the chapter of putting wrestlers over. And also I 471 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: don't even know who he'd be, like a good sport 472 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: enough to put over. If we sat down and had 473 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: cigars with see him Punk, he'd be like I hate 474 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: so and so, and I hate so and so, and 475 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: I feel like he'd be one of these guys. 476 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: What do you mean you guys smoke. I don't smoke. 477 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 2: I'm straight edge. I was shocked the seth lost just 478 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: like you. Yeah, it was, it was it was Look, 479 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: it was an awesome match, Like it was one of 480 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: the best matches I've seen this year. This year's been short, 481 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 2: but in the last years because they're both awesome in 482 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 2: the ring, they both sell like nobody's business. They both 483 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 2: can make your punches look like you got hit by 484 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: Mike Tyson in his prime. Not Mike Tyson against Jake Paul. 485 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: That's not that was but like the real Mike Tyson 486 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: fights like they both they both sell like mugs right, 487 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: like they do miss quality selling the guys that can 488 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: put anyone over, and they were putting each other over 489 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: the whole match. I just thought the finish was strange. 490 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 2: But again, I was taught by the old school guys, 491 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: and so that's why my brain is kind of wired 492 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 2: the way their brains were wired. Because I didn't know 493 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: shit about the wrestling business outside of the fact that 494 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 2: I liked it. When I got to WWE, and I 495 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: relied on a lot of those agents and the Arn't 496 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 2: Anderson's of the world and the Michael P. S Hayes's 497 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: of the world, and all all those guys. They were 498 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: all really good to me. I know I'm forgetting some 499 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 2: of them, but it's just because I didn't know we 500 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: were even going to be talking about this. Again, this 501 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: is all kind of off my head. Been a little 502 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: distracted this week. But yeah, it was a great match. 503 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 2: I just I wanted a different finish. But that's you know, 504 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: that's what keeps you watching. You want to see what 505 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: you want to get, what you want out of it, 506 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 2: and you hope you're gonna get it every week, and 507 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 2: most of the time we do. I would like to 508 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 2: see I say this a lot, man, I'm not trying 509 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: to beat a dead horse, but I would like to 510 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: see more stories and to have I want Powerhouse Hobbs 511 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: to get the push, but I wouldn't call what's happening 512 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 2: with Powerhouse Hobbs to push. He's just next in line 513 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 2: for Mosley, and there's not enough of a story here 514 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 2: to make me believe Hobbs can win that match. There's 515 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: not enough of a reason for them to fight outside 516 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: of they were in another not a tournament, but a 517 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 2: casino match, whatever it was, to be the next number 518 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: one contender, I would I really like the stories, and 519 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: they have people that tell great ones, so I know 520 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: they can do it, but there's no story here, so 521 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: I don't believe Powerhouse Hobbs can win either. To me, 522 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 2: the story would have been how do we be MVP? 523 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: And it would be how do I get Powerhouse Hobbs 524 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 2: into the Hurt Syndicate and that would be a cool story. 525 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: How do I convince this dude to join? How do 526 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: I convince this dude to be a part of what 527 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: we're trying to put together. I could get behind that 528 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 2: and I could believe in that dude, and that, to me, 529 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: would be more of an entry point to get him 530 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 2: towards a championship where you see MVP starting to hustle 531 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: for his guys and say no, no, no, no, my guy's decks, 532 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: my guy's decks. Now, maybe they don't want to do 533 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: that because they have Bobby and he's going to be 534 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 2: the one eventually to charge for the titles. But yeah, man, 535 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 2: it's it's tough when they just kind of say, and 536 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: next week it's a championship match and it's a game, 537 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 2: it's you, and it's almost like they're playing Duck Dug goose, 538 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And I would much rather 539 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 2: see just an entry point for these It doesn't have 540 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: to be a six week story from the championship. It 541 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: could be a two week story that totally works. A 542 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: two week story's fine. So short stories work. They get 543 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 2: turned into movies all the time. So I would have 544 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 2: liked to see that. And I know I say this 545 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 2: a lot, and maybe it's just not a w's thing. 546 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 2: Maybe I just need to accept that they're more about 547 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 2: the match and less about the story. The only argument 548 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: to that would be, well, look at the great storytellers. 549 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: They still tell stories on ad W and the Cmpunk 550 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 2: Max Friedman storyline is still my favorite storyline in the 551 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: last ten fifteen years. I liked it more than the 552 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 2: bloodline story. That whole bit when he talked when he 553 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: came out and he talked about like the football team, saying, 554 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 2: pick up those quarters, jew boy, pick them up like 555 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 2: and then to flip it and kick see them Punk 556 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: in the falls at the end of that story, Like, 557 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: I was just completely taken by that, and he tricked me. 558 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: F you for tricking me, by the way, Max, But 559 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: that was great, Like, it was really good storytelling, and 560 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: I just would love to see more of that. That said, 561 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: Max isn't another story, and it looks like it's gonna 562 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: be the end of Jeff Jarrett, which will be kind 563 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: of cool. It's something it look gets hard because the 564 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 2: older guys can't work the way that the younger guys 565 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 2: can work. But Max is such a good storyteller that 566 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 2: I don't underestimate what he's capable of pulling off. I 567 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 2: just don't and I genuinely think he can pull this 568 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: off and give us a solid match with Jared and 569 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: give us a great reason why it may not be 570 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: the best match, but the reason why they're fighting. I 571 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 2: think everyone will care about and I think he'll get 572 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 2: some people to pull for Jeff, Jared and Hope and believe. 573 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to pull that off. If 574 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 2: anyone can do it. It's not going to be easy, 575 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 2: but if anyone can do it, it will be MJF 576 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 2: and I like watching everything. He's at home. I know 577 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: I kind of talked about eight different things here, Jeff, 578 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 2: So whatever you want to throw in. 579 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: Well, I was just gonna say it could be because 580 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: they WB put so much effort into making sure that 581 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: the Monday Night Raw was great because of Netflix that 582 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: it really made AW seem underwhelming. So I'm aware of that, 583 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: But man, AW has been tough to watch for me 584 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: this week. I'm hoping that it's because I came off 585 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: of this huge Netflix spectacle where they brought out every star. 586 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: It felt like I was playing with my wrestling toys again, 587 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: like it was only the biggest stars wrestling each other. 588 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: So maybe it felt like that, but it's They're gonna 589 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: have to figure out something over there. At AEW because 590 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: it feels like currently, at least in the last few 591 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: weeks or months, that WWE is beaten. That ass is 592 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: what it feels like to me. I don't, I can't 593 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: really you know me do. I always try to be 594 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: mister positivity on this and I try to be as 595 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: as kindly critical as possible, But I can really poke 596 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: any holes and what you said there, I'm trying to. 597 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: I got my needle out trying to poke. Yeah, looks good. 598 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 1: The competition brings out the best in both, so I 599 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: hope that they answer back. 600 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: Will Osprey is still the man. Will Osprey can still 601 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: talk on the mic with Malachi Black looking like he's 602 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: about to leave AEW, his contracts almost stuff. We might 603 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: get a push. I hope they push it nice and 604 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: slow and they don't force them right into a championship 605 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: match right away. But it looks like we're going to 606 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 2: get a push out of Buddy Matthews, Ria Ripley's husband 607 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 2: or boyfriend fiance. I don't know they love each other. 608 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: I know they love each other. I just don't know 609 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 2: their status. That was Alexa Blisses X too. Oh, I 610 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 2: didn't know that. Nice Well, we know his type. He 611 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: likes wrestlers like romans. His body is one of the 612 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 2: best in the business. He looks so awesome. I wish 613 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: I looked like him. If I looked like Buddy Matthews 614 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: back in the day, I'm too old now, but back 615 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: in the day, you know, your boy would have been Batman, right, 616 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: you know your boy, it would have been bad one. 617 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 2: My boy could already be Batman. You're the fucking best almost. 618 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: And the second of all, you're like double the height 619 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: of Buddy Matthews. 620 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's doubled the wind. 621 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: I know. Hey, we all got our gifts. We all 622 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: play with the gifts God gave us, you know, but 623 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: you get height. He's sim He's somewhere listening and going, Man, 624 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: I wish I was six four and we're over here going. 625 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: We're all tall, six four guys going. I wish we 626 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: were strong and ripped like Buddy. 627 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 2: It's all. It doesn't matter, bro, my man is six 628 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: four wide. I'm like three feet wide. But I would 629 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: like to see. I really like Buddy Matthews for a 630 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: long time. We don't talk about him a lot, but 631 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 2: he seems like he's got everything. I don't know too 632 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,959 Speaker 2: much about his mic work, I have to like go 633 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: back and watch watch them promos. But as far as 634 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: his work in the ring, top shelf, body, top shelf, 635 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: his look is super super cool and he's he's experimented 636 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 2: with different looks, like he was not a House of 637 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: Black type vibe when he first was in WW. He 638 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 2: was basically the opposite of that, and he looked great 639 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: doing that too, So I'd like to see that. It'd 640 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 2: be good to get some new blood pumping in there 641 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: and give some new bushes to guys like Powerhouse Hops, 642 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: who I think deserves a real push, not just a 643 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: sacrificial land push. To give Buddy Matthews a nice slow 644 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 2: you know, maybe he goes after the inter Intercontinental where 645 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 2: they call it the international title. So many freaking titles 646 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 2: you're going after a title. I'd like to see him 647 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 2: go after a mid card title first, and hopefully they 648 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 2: don't put him into the main events stuff right away. 649 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, I like Buddy Matthews a lot, and I 650 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: hope for good things. I'm not going to get too 651 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: much into the rest of AEW because it just didn't 652 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 2: grab It just didn't grab me, and it might be 653 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 2: because I've been stressed out. It might be because of the 654 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: Netflix thing. It might be their fault. I don't know 655 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 2: whose fault it is, but yeah, SmackDown was what it was. 656 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: It was three hours.

I know 675 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 2: we're not allowed to do that anymore because of social 676 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 2: media and you have to either like something or not 677 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 2: like it. But I don't give a shit. So I'm 678 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,479 Speaker 2: old and I don't care about that stuff. So I 679 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: loved his promo on the stairs as he was coming 680 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 2: down through the crowd and mean, like, how could you 681 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 2: still stick up for the son of a bitch Roman 682 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 2: Reigns after everything he did, And you just see Cody 683 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 2: stewing and stewing in truth. He's stewing in truth because 684 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: the truth fucking hurts, doesn't it. Cody groes, how he 685 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: gonna help somebody that ft you over like that? Oh 686 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 2: you're gonna forgive and forget? Screw that. We hold on 687 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 2: to grudges for life in the wrestling business, and Kevin 688 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: Owens is no exception. Kevin Owens still has the greatest 689 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: moment of the year when he rolled up the window 690 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 2: on Michael Cole and Michael Cole was trying to interview him. 691 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 2: That's still the greatest moment of the year. That made 692 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 2: me laugh so much. But this was awesome. Cody just 693 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 2: said screw it. They went full w CW style. He 694 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 2: ran out of the ring. They fought in the crowd. 695 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: It was awesome. I love when it gets out of 696 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 2: the ring and spills into the fans. I think that's 697 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: the coolest shit. Every show I've been to, I've wanted 698 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 2: one of those fights to spell out to where I 699 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 2: am so that I could be on camera going yeah, 700 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 2: kick is that as kind of It's never happened once. 701 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,719 Speaker 2: They've never even gotten close to me. It's it's I 702 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: want that to happen more than I want to catch 703 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: a foul ball at a baseball game. Really, and I'd 704 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: probably want the foul ball or the home run. 705 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: I've caught a foul ball. I checked it off the list. 706 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: I swear to god, you really have. Yeah, it was 707 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: the best moment of Unicorn. That's like I know that 708 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: people want be like, where are you tripping out so hard? 709 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 2: Pretty? You don't understand that's like finding a unicorn. There's 710 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 2: fifty thousand people in the stands and you were the 711 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 2: one that caught the ball. 712 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: Well, they made a documentary about these like old men 713 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: who there like lifelong goal is just to catch a. 714 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 2: Foul ball at a baseball game. 715 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: They've spent their whole lives because The rule is it 716 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: can't bounce, it can't. 717 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 2: Hit off something. It can't I agree with that. 718 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, the ball landed and then you 719 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: ran over and grabbed it from under the seat. 720 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 2: That doesn't count. Count. 721 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: You have to catch a foul ball. And it came 722 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: right to where I was sitting. I just went, I 723 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: put my hand up and just caught it. It was 724 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: like a remind it make an assumption here, But I 725 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: know I'm right. The question would be don't answer. It 726 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: would be glove or no glove. 727 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 2: But I already know the answer because you're a man's man, 728 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 2: and I know you went no glove, and I know 729 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 2: you got it bare handed, because that's the true way 730 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 2: to get a foul ball. When I see grown ups 731 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 2: bringing gloves to a game and they don't have the 732 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 2: guts to take the pain. You got to take the 733 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 2: pain of the foul ball. I respect that so much. 734 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,959 Speaker 2: The bare handed catch is the most respected fan move 735 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: in sports outside of professional wrestling, which a fight would 736 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 2: be cool, especially if you but you caught it bare handed. Yes, 737 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 2: bare hand, yep, right, it just caught it. Yeah. 738 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: Also, the adrenaline of the moment made it not hurt 739 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 1: at all. 740 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 2: I didn't even feel anything, like I have your manliness, 741 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 2: bro well, just. 742 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 1: Going like I was so excited and like I couldn't 743 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: believe it happened that. 744 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't, I don't feel anything. So 745 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: the only thing superior to that would have been if 746 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,959 Speaker 2: you had a beer. In the other hand, I. 747 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: Know you ever seen a guy Yeah, I saw that 748 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: on It's Amazing, Yeah, and then they chugged the beer. 749 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 2: I was like, that guy rose.
