<v Speaker 2>are you tell the people what's going feeling good?

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Sending all of our thoughts to the people in Los

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.119

<v Speaker 2>So anyways, yeah, sending our left lots of love to

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>everybody out here. Hang as tough as you can, and

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>when it gets too tough, find a quiet corner and

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 2>shed a secret tear. We got love for you. I

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>know not everybody's feeling the love right now, but if

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>you're listening to this podcast, I don't know why you

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>would because you're probably taking care of your families. But

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>if you're listening to the podcast, we'll try to help

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.320
<v Speaker 2>you have a distraction for a little while. And there

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>won't be a Thursday show this week. I just don't

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>have time to record both episodes. I appreciate everybody understanding,

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 2>or we're going to give you a nice long one

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>or as long as we can. SmackDown didn't give us

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>much but a recap of Monday Night Ross, so our

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>best to fill this time and make you guys feel good.

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I'd also like to say this show is going to

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>be dedicated to Penta because Penta's coming back, Ladies and gentlemen,

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>He's gone from aew. They're already selling his merch Seattle

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Metal Settle Miedo I said Seattle. That's not a word,

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.679
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, he's making a comeback. And my favorite type

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>of wrestling istre, My favorite wrestlers are lucha ors. He's

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>one of the coolest breaking luchadores out there. And I

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>can't wait to hear a WWE crowd scream Settle in

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.079
<v Speaker 2>the middle of his match, and I just think that's

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>just one of the coolest pops for me when that happens,

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.959
<v Speaker 2>and the aw crowds were really good at it. Ww

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>crowd's gotta step your game up. You got to make

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 2>sure you're in sync. I know it's a little more,

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a little different in WWE. That's a big part

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:51.839
<v Speaker 2>of his game. And if y'all f it up, it's

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 2>not on him, it's on you.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>I want to say that I have learned my lesson.

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>It's been forty one years of life and I've finally

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>learned my lesson and I'm going to learn my lesson

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and practice it with Penta because here's the thing. My

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>entire life, I'm always trying to see people's faces. You know,

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like what I was like, when am I

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna see Ray Mysterio's face?

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 2>When am I gonna see it? And then ray.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Masteria gets demasked and I was disappointed. I wish that

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I had never seen his face.

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Then Kane the mask comes off.

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I said, Kine, I want to see Kin's face. When

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>am I going to see it? Then Kane has no mask,

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I liked Kane better with a mask.

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I waited three Mortal Kombats to see what sub Zero

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>looked like without his mask on.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Then I finally got.

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Sub Zero, and I go I didn't want to see

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>sub Zero without his mask. So let me just officially

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>say I never want to see Penta's face. I should

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>have just been following the rules the whole time with

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>these masks, and I'm excited to watch Penta not only

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>come back to w B where he might be paid

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>better and appreciated better, I'm excited about him keeping his

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>mask on.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, Lucia, Doris, keep your masks. The son of

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>a bitch, try to take it off. Just call me.

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll come down. I got your back. I'll run in

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>from the crowd. I can beat securities, ass, don't even

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>worry about that. Get in there. I got your back.

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>So ww Raw debuted on Netflix. I wasn't able to

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>go ww for whatever reason made it super difficult. But

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I do want to say Netflix tried to step in

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 2>at the last minute, and they really tried to help

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 2>us out, and they offered us some tickets, but I

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>had a group of eight it was mainly kids, and

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>they just couldn't provide us enough seats together because it

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 2>was so last minute for and I couldn't split the

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 2>kids up because that would be dumb, and I couldn't

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 2>leave them unattended because they're very young. So we just

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>weren't able to go. But I did want to thank

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Netflix for trying. Wwe Man, you guys were weird, and

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>I hope next time you guys aren't so weird. But

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 2>now Netflix runs stuff. I have friends over there, and

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 2>if you guys still want to be weird with me,

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>that's cool, and I'll just I'll just talk to Netflix.

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>The show started off with Roman reigns and Solo Sokoa

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>finally paying off this story line that really was just

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>a huge shot in the arm to the bloodline storyline.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>You got to remember, this has been going back over

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 2>eight years, and to be able to keep a story

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 2>this compelling for people for this long is incredibly hard

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 2>to do. It's hard to do on network television, it's

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 2>hard to do on streaming services, and it's the hardest

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 2>to do in a professional wrestling format where storylines and

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 2>characters can literally just get erased, especially in WWE. It

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't happen so much in aw although they sometimes struggle

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 2>to have a storage period unless it's like they're top guys.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>It's really hard to do this in WWE because if

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.719
<v Speaker 2>you have like one bad week of television where they

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>don't feel the crowds behind it, they'll just remove your

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 2>character and change your name. They'll literally change your name

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and make you be someone else, which is psychotic to me.

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>They did it while I work there, They've done it

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>since I've worked there. They did it before I work there.

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>For them to stay this consistent and stay this true

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>to that story and those characters is commendable. I don't

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>want this to be a compliment that sounds like an insult.

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I want this to be a company. I'm very grateful

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>as a fan of wrestling. They've stayed, they've stayed the course,

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.559
<v Speaker 2>and they always have someone sort of steering this ship

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>in positive directions. Did you think that's a thing? One

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent one hundred percent. I saw Triple H fight

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 2>for stories in production meetings against Vince and Kevin Dunn

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and Kevin Dunwood, because Kevin Dune would kill things all

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>the time, and it was shocking to me that he

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>had that much power over creative stuff when when he

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>wasn't necessarily like a story guy. He was he was

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>the director of the show for those that don't know,

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>but he would just be like, that guy's boring, and

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, that guy's career was over done done,

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>And Triple H was one of the only wrestlers or

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>high level guys like the creative teams always fought PS

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 2>three Bird Hayes always fought Martin Anderson would always fight

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 2>for his guy like everybody will fight. But Hunter was

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.479
<v Speaker 2>the one that would get listened to the most because

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 2>he's the son in law of the of the boss.

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 2>But a lot of times Vince would just shut him

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>down to and you would see careers just get smashed on.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think consistency is something that Triple H knows

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>is important, and that's why we've seen such an improvement

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 2>in the brand since Vince was gone. Not to say

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Vince didn't do quality things too, because sometimes he did,

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>but very often these things would just die after two

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>three weeks instead of allowing a story to develop and

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>allowing a character develop organically. If it didn't work in

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the first couple of weeks, that was gone and all

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 2>the work that everyone put in was just wasted. So yeah, man,

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that's one hundred percent of Triple Age thing.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>But this match was awesome. First of all. I think

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think if there was a match that

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't awesome, even the finishes that I didn't like, the

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>matches were still great. This was fantastic. There were run

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 2>ins from other members of the New Evil bloodline, there

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 2>were members of the old Super Nice Cool blood line.

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Owens came in there with an f you to

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Roman Reigns because he hates Roman Reigns, and then he

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 2>took that story to SmackDown, where him and Cody Rhodes

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>continue to fight. We can get in to that if

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>we have time, but this match was super cool. Roman

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Rains hit him with a couple of spears, put them

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>through a table one two three on the pin the

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Rock who came out early and got a baby based reaction.

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 2>He leaned into it. He got a lot of love

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles, and he came out and he took

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>the lafalla from Paul Hayman and he put it around

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 2>the neck of Roman Reigns, where it rightfully belongs. Jay.

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>It should either be on the neck of Jeff Die

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>or Roman Reigns. Those are the only two men worthy enough.

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I like that. But yeah, man, this was a ton

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 2>of fun and it was a great sort of end

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>of a chapter in this book. It's like reading those

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Harry Potter books, like the last two were so friggin

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.959
<v Speaker 2>long and like you'd end a chapter and like the

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>chapter felt like you read a whole book. That's what

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 2>this kind of was. And I don't know why I'm

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 2>relating it to Harry Potter, but they're both for kids

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 2>and fantasy stuff and I like all that. But I

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>really like this match. I'm looking forward to seeing where

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the story's going to go next, because they really haven't

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 2>let anyone down even once since the Bloodline Briggin started.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>They haven't. I don't think they've made a misstep. Jet

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of a story part of the story

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 2>where I was like ef or men or oh that

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>sucked I've always just great. That's dope. Yeah, it's always

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>been great.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I was a little hopeful that maybe you we would

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>get some sort of rock Roman Reigns beef, you know,

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>like kind of something that would suggest that that's down

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the line, and we did get that on Monday. But

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean it's not gonna happen. It's just like

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I kind of thought that, Oh Netflix, Monday night, I thought.

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>But it was still really awesome and really good.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I love that it felt like you got like a

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>little glimpse into each chapter of the stories that they've

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>already told, where you had Sammy's Ain come out, you

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>had you had each kind of part of it, which

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I which I really liked, and so really really really

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>masterfully done.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I loved it. I do want to shout out one

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.959
<v Speaker 2>person that was in the crowd because he got the

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 2>biggest pop of the night, and that's my friend Macaulay

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Culkin admitted to the show, and the crowd was so

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>high for him and the way he kind of presented

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 2>himself with so much cooler that. I love Seth too,

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>But Matt got the biggest pop of the night. It

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>was it was so he got a bigger pop than Hogan. Well,

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess they hated Hogan, but they loved Matt so

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 2>balanced now, but he got the biggest pop of the night.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 2>That made me laugh a lot. I really wish I

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>could have been there. It would have been fun, but

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>it didn't work out anyway. Triple Edge came out and

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>talked they thank their new Netflix executives, which was a

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 2>little weird to me. That breaking. I don't know if

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>it was weird to anyone else, but I kind of

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 2>don't want to know about the people behind the scenes.

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to know about the executives behind the scenes.

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>There was a time when executives didn't do interviews, you

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, where agents and managers didn't do interviews.

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.439
<v Speaker 2>That stopped in the early two thousands when they kind

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 2>of wanted to get famous too, so they started doing interviews.

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I remember reading one where his agent was taking credit

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>for this other actors basically entire career. And I was

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 2>friends with the actor. I'm like, yo, did you read this?

0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 2>He goes, yeah, that's that guy's not my agent anymore.

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I inspired him. I was just he leit. He was like, well,

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe you know now that we represent and we can

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 2>take him to the next level. I'm like, you don't

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>do that. He's famous. All you do is say yes

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 2>or no. The scripts that come in, Like it's one

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 2>thing if you're building an actor up from the ground up.

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 2>But this dude was a stab or it was a woman. Actually,

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>this woman was established and they had kind of made

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>her bones in the business already, like you know, she's

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the top shell b actor. It's like, what are we

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>talking about here. So that's always a little weird to

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 2>me when when they put the spotlight on on the people,

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, behind the scenes. But the crowd didn't seem

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>to hate it. They didn't boo any of the executives.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>If I really thought they were gonna but they but

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>they didn't. So that was good. So it was all

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>love and it felt good. But we'll get into some

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 2>more rest.

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>It feels like like the victory lap of Netflix. So

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like you saw them down there. It's them being

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>like we're king now, like we own everything. Look and

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 1>we're all even enjoying the you know, look, we're dabbing

0:11:58.640 --> 0:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>up the rock.

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 2>We're at a side.

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>It felt very much like we own the industry now.

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>That is what it felt like, to me, like a

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 1>big party, like it's opening night and we're gonna sit

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>in the front.

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>And it did feel like a party. And you know,

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the the wrestling fan in me, who's very cynical, goes, man,

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 2>this is probably the first wrestling show they ever saw.

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>And then the optimist in me goes, hey, man, this

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 2>is probably the first wrestling show they ever saw. And

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little like split and torn on, you know

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. In one way, it's good because we're

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 2>introducing new people to wrestling, and hopefully they connected to

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 2>one of these characters and they like it and they

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>want to bring their kids to a show, or maybe

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 2>they even't want to watch once in a while. But

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 2>then the cynic in me is like, man, they're just

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 2>here for the for the pot. So I don't know

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.719
<v Speaker 2>which one is right. I definitely had both feelings at the.

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Same I thought they were the mean street posse down there,

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, That's what it looked like.

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Were these guys that when Shane McMahon just pops his

0:12:55.679 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 2>head in hell, yeah, you go, what is it? All right?

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk some wrestling. Well, let's talk about one of

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>our favorites, real Rickley and Morgan battled for the women's championship. Finally,

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 2>both women are healthy, no injuries, thank god. Storyline has

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>been good. It's had ups and downs because of injuries,

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 2>though not by any fault of the creative team or

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>any fault of the talent, simply injuries that slowed things down.

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Dominic's awesome. I know he's a heel, but he's my

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>favorite babyface in professional wrestling because that to me, he's

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 2>the victim in this and he's torn between two women

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 2>that are both manipulative. It's just one is manipulative for

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.599
<v Speaker 2>herself and the other's manipulative for herself. But Dominic is

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>a victim in this. Just remember that. Show some sympathy

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 2>for him. His mustache is glorious, His mullet's glorious. Man

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.200
<v Speaker 2>loves chicken Tenders, And I don't care what you people say.

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>You know you love chicken tenders too, so don't even

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 2>act like you don't, Jeff, you like chicken tenders, right,

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>everybody likes chicken tenders. So they had a match. They wrestle,

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and finally the belt is back around the waste of

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the most excellent, biggest, baddest, meanest looking woman. She looks

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>like she could beat up the whole roster. Rear Ripley.

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I just got back from Australia. She's Australian. I got

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of love for the people down there. Let

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 2>me tell you something. Everyone in Australia looks like her.

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 2>All the women are smoking hot, they're all in great shape.

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 2>All the dudes are in great shape. They're all good looking.

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I asked a buddy who I made friends with when

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I was down there. I was like, how come everybody

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 2>in such great freaking shape in Australia. He goes, first

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 2>of all, we're not. He's like, our older people are.

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 2>He goes, but we have sports once a week. We

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>have pe every day, but we have one day a

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 2>week where it's all sports. We don't do any academics.

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 2>It's just a sports day. I was like, Oh, that's

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 2>why you guys rock at the Summer Olympics. That's what

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>you got. Yeah, so they really focus on their physical

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 2>fitness there. Real Ripley is super fit. I think she

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 2>was a volleyball player before she was a professional wrestler.

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 2>But she's awesome, man, She's the champ. They're gonna have

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Monday Night Row Tonight we record these on Mondays, so

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm really looking forward to her promo. I'm looking forward

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>to seeing what's next for her. But I think it

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>could still be live because Becky's not back yet, so

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who would fill that spot. Did you

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 2>have any ideas as to what's next or were you

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 2>just kind of living in the moment and enjoying it? Oh?

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 2>I was loving it.

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I love Ria Ripley. I have so many thoughts on

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>this match. But I thought that Becky was gonna come back.

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what I guessed, or I assumed, was like, Oh,

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 1>this is Monday night, Rob, we got Netflix, We'll see

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Becky come back in here and you know, stand off

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 1>or maybe stand up at the top of the ramp

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and look at Rio Ripley. You know now that she

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 1>has the belt around her waist, But we didn't get that,

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>so I was very confused.

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Did you hear that maybe that was supposed to happen

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and then they switched it last minute for the undertaker spot.

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Did you hear that? Because I kind of saw a

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>little bit of that online.

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>No, I didn't hear that. I just assumed there'd be

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>some chick. I assumed Becky, but like I thought. I

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>thought there'd be some woman, you know, Jade Cargill, somebody

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>would come down and do like a spot. I thought

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the underthink Undertaker thing was insane to me. Why what,

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>what the hell does they came out of nowhere?

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 2>If I know what they were trying to do, Like

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 2>they're saying, like he's the legend, He's going to give

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 2>her the rub, but I didn't think she needed the rub,

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 2>and also rather Becky come out. Yeah, it was a

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 2>little off off putting because I was kind of like,

0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 2>well was he do? He just did a hot lap

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 2>and then yeah, I said, way to go, Really your badass?

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I already think we as badass. I didn't think

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 2>needed an extra rub.

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I went, I love the Undertaker and I love the

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>American badass? How does that coincide with each other? I

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>like all the parties involved, but I'm going, what is happening?

0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>But I just expected a woman.

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought.

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I hoped for Becky to come out and kind of

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of give us a peak of what's next now

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>that Ria's champ. So yeah, I was confused by that.

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.680
<v Speaker 1>But I will say that real Ripley Live Morgan match

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>was awesome. I really enjoyed it, which I'm pretty critical

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>of female wrestling, and I really enjoyed the entire match.

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I also love that Ria hit her with her finishing

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.919
<v Speaker 1>move so many times. It felt it felt like, you know,

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm always I'm always trying to get back to the

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>circus days of wrestling, like I want like a feet

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>of strength, and it looked like Ria was like getting

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>fatigued giving her her finishing move every single time.

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>It was so good. Yeah, the mat was a great

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 2>story man. Yeah, And I don't think that was her

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>genuinely fatigued at all. I really think that was a

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.919
<v Speaker 2>conscious choice by her showing it's getting harder and harder

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.879
<v Speaker 2>as the matches goes longer and longer. That I've seen

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 2>them do that even when I work there, like the

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 2>agents that for those who don't know the term agent.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Most of you guys are are hardcore fans, so you don't,

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 2>but bear with me. For the ones who don't, they're

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>like the fight choreographer, and they're usually old school wrestlers.

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Usually they're always old school wrestlers, and that's something that

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 2>they would I saw like guys like Orna Anderson and

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Dean Malenko talk about with the younger wrestlers when I

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 2>was there, and I would watch them kind of coach

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 2>these these these young wrestlers through those types of of

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 2>conscious choices, like make yourself look tired because they do

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.440
<v Speaker 2>wrestl so they can rest up, you know what I mean.

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.920
<v Speaker 2>So there was no there was no. I don't think

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>there was genuine fatigue there. I just think Ria is

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 2>that good and makes us be Yeah. Man, she's a stud.

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 2>She's a total stud. All right, enough with the ladies. Ladies,

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you got some time. But now it's time to talk

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.399
<v Speaker 2>about some dudes. Two dudes that are pretty great on

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the microphone. Two dudes that hate each other. No they do,

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.400
<v Speaker 2>but they made us think that they do. And that's

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 2>seth Rollins and see him punk. I was wrong on this,

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.200
<v Speaker 2>but I want to talk about why I was wrong,

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 2>And I don't quite know. This is going to sort

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.199
<v Speaker 2>of be free for him, and I'm just kind of

0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:54.399
<v Speaker 2>throwing this off there. When I worked there, there was

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:59.679
<v Speaker 2>a philosophy that the older dudes all kind of agreed with,

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 2>which is that now it's time to put the younger

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.639
<v Speaker 2>guys over. Now it's time to I've had my time,

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Now it's your time. I'm gonna give you a great match,

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna put you over. And that still seems

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.880
<v Speaker 2>to exist in W W E and AE W a lot,

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 2>except with Cmpunk. And I'm I'm telling everyone this right now,

0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm never betting against Cmpunk again, whether I think he

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 2>should lose or not, because he's never gonna lose the war.

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.360
<v Speaker 2>He might use a battle, but he's never gonna lose

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.720
<v Speaker 2>a war. And I guess he's gonna be Champ again,

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 2>which is weird to me because he's an older dude,

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>and just that that old school philosophy of like the

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 2>guys like Arn Anderson, Dean Maliko and all those guys

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>that when I when I worked there, Fit Finley, all

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 2>these guys, you know, they were there in the later

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 2>part of their career to make sure to either put

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.920
<v Speaker 2>over the new guy or to help solidify the established

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.400
<v Speaker 2>dudes as as the man now. And I guess Sampunk's

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:03.119
<v Speaker 2>wants to still be the man, and it wants to

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 2>be the lead of the movie, so to speak, and

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be. That just has to be something

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 2>that they worked out before he signed. Because it happened

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 2>with Dream, It's gonna happen with Seth. It's gonna happen

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>with whoever's next for him, and I guess he's gonna

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 2>be Champ, which is cool for Sampunk fans. It's just

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.119
<v Speaker 2>weird to me because it seems to break this rule

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.679
<v Speaker 2>or this understanding that the older generation had when I

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 2>worked there. But things evolve and change, and maybe I'm

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 2>just outdated and don't know, but I know this. I'm

0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 2>not betting against him again, even if I think he should.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought he should have lost that match. I thought

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 2>it should have been Seth rawlins. I could already see

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 2>that the promo that Seth was gonna cut on Monday,

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Son of a bitch. I did what I said I

0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>was going to do. And now, like all the promises

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 2>that Seth made it, his promos are breaken promises and

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.119
<v Speaker 2>a baby face can't have that, at least that's how

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I was taught. So I guess maybe they're gonna turn

0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:56.239
<v Speaker 2>him heal because the healed promises can get broken all

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the time, or maybe they're not and he's just gonna

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 2>be the badass guy. But it was weird to see

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 2>set lose for me. I know most people were excited

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 2>because everybody loves see him Punk, but I really thought

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Seth should have won that match. What did you think?

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.199
<v Speaker 1>I agree with what you're saying, But I also I

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think that CM punk sees himself as the old guy.

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:17.399
<v Speaker 2>I really don't.

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that CM punk has ever followed any

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 1>sort of quote unquote wrestling.

0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Rules about that. That's kind yeah, yeah, beats to his

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:29.919
<v Speaker 2>own drum.

0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:34.440
<v Speaker 1>He is the Punk of wrestling, and so I think

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 1>for him, it's like maybe in ten years we'll see

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>him put someone over, or he's.

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Still wrestling in ten years, and that would be insane

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 2>to me. I just that's crazy. You're probably prappy.

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>He will, He'll come out even if he's not doing

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a match every single week, he'll still be in wrestling.

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, we still see Rick Flair and Hulk Cogan

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and all these guys. So you know, even even see

0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>him Punk, I'm not falling for this or not see

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>him by John Cena, even the John Sam, I'm not

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 1>falling for this. Like it's my final tour. It isn't.

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.879
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be around, You're gonna come back every three weeks.

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like they never go anywhere.

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I say it, Yeah, you're right, you talk me off

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the Brian Danielson ledge with this when I was like, no,

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 2>he's gone, and you're like, dude, he's not gone.

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>If they die, we get to mourn them. Other than that,

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 1>that's it. So I don't know. I think it'll be interesting.

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I think this CEM Punk still has a lot of

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff he wants to do and doesn't really see him

0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>in the chapter of putting wrestlers over. And also I

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:40.439
<v Speaker 1>don't even know who he'd be, like a good sport

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>enough to put over. If we sat down and had

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>cigars with see him Punk, he'd be like I hate

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 1>so and so, and I hate so and so, and

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he'd be one of these guys.

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean you guys smoke. I don't smoke.

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm straight edge. I was shocked the seth lost just

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:02.120
<v Speaker 2>like you. Yeah, it was, it was it was Look,

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 2>it was an awesome match, Like it was one of

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>the best matches I've seen this year. This year's been short,

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 2>but in the last years because they're both awesome in

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 2>the ring, they both sell like nobody's business. They both

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 2>can make your punches look like you got hit by

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Mike Tyson in his prime. Not Mike Tyson against Jake Paul.

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 2>That's not that was but like the real Mike Tyson

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 2>fights like they both they both sell like mugs right,

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 2>like they do miss quality selling the guys that can

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 2>put anyone over, and they were putting each other over

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the whole match. I just thought the finish was strange.

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 2>But again, I was taught by the old school guys,

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and so that's why my brain is kind of wired

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 2>the way their brains were wired. Because I didn't know

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 2>shit about the wrestling business outside of the fact that

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I liked it. When I got to WWE, and I

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 2>relied on a lot of those agents and the Arn't

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Anderson's of the world and the Michael P. S Hayes's

0:23:57.680 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 2>of the world, and all all those guys. They were

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 2>all really good to me. I know I'm forgetting some

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.159
<v Speaker 2>of them, but it's just because I didn't know we

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 2>were even going to be talking about this. Again, this

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 2>is all kind of off my head. Been a little

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>distracted this week. But yeah, it was a great match.

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.439
<v Speaker 2>I just I wanted a different finish. But that's you know,

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that's what keeps you watching. You want to see what

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.119
<v Speaker 2>you want to get, what you want out of it,

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 2>and you hope you're gonna get it every week, and

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:29.439
<v Speaker 2>most of the time we do. I would like to

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>see I say this a lot, man, I'm not trying

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 2>to beat a dead horse, but I would like to

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 2>see more stories and to have I want Powerhouse Hobbs

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 2>to get the push, but I wouldn't call what's happening

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.880
<v Speaker 2>with Powerhouse Hobbs to push. He's just next in line

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 2>for Mosley, and there's not enough of a story here

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>to make me believe Hobbs can win that match. There's

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 2>not enough of a reason for them to fight outside

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 2>of they were in another not a tournament, but a

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 2>casino match, whatever it was, to be the next number

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 2>one contender, I would I really like the stories, and

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 2>they have people that tell great ones, so I know

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 2>they can do it, but there's no story here, so

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe Powerhouse Hobbs can win either. To me,

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.679
<v Speaker 2>the story would have been how do we be MVP?

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>And it would be how do I get Powerhouse Hobbs

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 2>into the Hurt Syndicate and that would be a cool story.

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 2>How do I convince this dude to join? How do

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I convince this dude to be a part of what

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to put together. I could get behind that

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.919
<v Speaker 2>and I could believe in that dude, and that, to me,

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>would be more of an entry point to get him

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:44.639
<v Speaker 2>towards a championship where you see MVP starting to hustle

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 2>for his guys and say no, no, no, no, my guy's decks,

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 2>my guy's decks. Now, maybe they don't want to do

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 2>that because they have Bobby and he's going to be

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 2>the one eventually to charge for the titles. But yeah, man,

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 2>it's it's tough when they just kind of say, and

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 2>next week it's a championship match and it's a game,

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 2>it's you, and it's almost like they're playing Duck Dug goose,

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:05.480
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. And I would much rather

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>see just an entry point for these It doesn't have

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to be a six week story from the championship. It

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 2>could be a two week story that totally works. A

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 2>two week story's fine. So short stories work. They get

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 2>turned into movies all the time. So I would have

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 2>liked to see that. And I know I say this

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot, and maybe it's just not a w's thing.

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I just need to accept that they're more about

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.879
<v Speaker 2>the match and less about the story. The only argument

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 2>to that would be, well, look at the great storytellers.

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 2>They still tell stories on ad W and the Cmpunk

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Max Friedman storyline is still my favorite storyline in the

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:43.119
<v Speaker 2>last ten fifteen years. I liked it more than the

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 2>bloodline story. That whole bit when he talked when he

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 2>came out and he talked about like the football team, saying,

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 2>pick up those quarters, jew boy, pick them up like

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 2>and then to flip it and kick see them Punk

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 2>in the falls at the end of that story, Like,

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I was just completely taken by that, and he tricked me.

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 2>F you for tricking me, by the way, Max, But

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 2>that was great, Like, it was really good storytelling, and

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I just would love to see more of that. That said,

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Max isn't another story, and it looks like it's gonna

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:16.440
<v Speaker 2>be the end of Jeff Jarrett, which will be kind

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:19.280
<v Speaker 2>of cool. It's something it look gets hard because the

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 2>older guys can't work the way that the younger guys

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 2>can work. But Max is such a good storyteller that

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:28.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't underestimate what he's capable of pulling off. I

0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:31.119
<v Speaker 2>just don't and I genuinely think he can pull this

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 2>off and give us a solid match with Jared and

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 2>give us a great reason why it may not be

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the best match, but the reason why they're fighting. I

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.160
<v Speaker 2>think everyone will care about and I think he'll get

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 2>some people to pull for Jeff, Jared and Hope and believe.

0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll be able to pull that off. If

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.439
<v Speaker 2>anyone can do it. It's not going to be easy,

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 2>but if anyone can do it, it will be MJF

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:55.119
<v Speaker 2>and I like watching everything. He's at home. I know

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I kind of talked about eight different things here, Jeff,

0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 2>So whatever you want to throw in.

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was just gonna say it could be because

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.360
<v Speaker 1>they WB put so much effort into making sure that

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.879
<v Speaker 1>the Monday Night Raw was great because of Netflix that

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>it really made AW seem underwhelming. So I'm aware of that,

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 1>But man, AW has been tough to watch for me

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 1>this week. I'm hoping that it's because I came off

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of this huge Netflix spectacle where they brought out every star.

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 1>It felt like I was playing with my wrestling toys again,

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 1>like it was only the biggest stars wrestling each other.

0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:36.160
<v Speaker 1>So maybe it felt like that, but it's They're gonna

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>have to figure out something over there. At AEW because

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>it feels like currently, at least in the last few

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>weeks or months, that WWE is beaten. That ass is

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>what it feels like to me. I don't, I can't

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>really you know me do. I always try to be

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>mister positivity on this and I try to be as

0:28:56.520 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>as kindly critical as possible, But I can really poke

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>any holes and what you said there, I'm trying to.

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I got my needle out trying to poke. Yeah, looks good.

0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:09.959
<v Speaker 1>The competition brings out the best in both, so I

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 1>hope that they answer back.

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Will Osprey is still the man. Will Osprey can still

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 2>talk on the mic with Malachi Black looking like he's

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 2>about to leave AEW, his contracts almost stuff. We might

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 2>get a push. I hope they push it nice and

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 2>slow and they don't force them right into a championship

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 2>match right away. But it looks like we're going to

0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:33.600
<v Speaker 2>get a push out of Buddy Matthews, Ria Ripley's husband

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:35.959
<v Speaker 2>or boyfriend fiance. I don't know they love each other.

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I know they love each other. I just don't know

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 2>their status. That was Alexa Blisses X too. Oh, I

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't know that. Nice Well, we know his type. He

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 2>likes wrestlers like romans. His body is one of the

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.520
<v Speaker 2>best in the business. He looks so awesome. I wish

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I looked like him. If I looked like Buddy Matthews

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 2>back in the day, I'm too old now, but back

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in the day, you know, your boy would have been Batman, right,

0:30:00.440 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 2>you know your boy, it would have been bad one.

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 2>My boy could already be Batman. You're the fucking best almost.

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>And the second of all, you're like double the height

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>of Buddy Matthews.

0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's doubled the wind.

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I know. Hey, we all got our gifts. We all

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:15.840
<v Speaker 1>play with the gifts God gave us, you know, but

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you get height. He's sim He's somewhere listening and going, Man,

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I wish I was six four and we're over here going.

0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 1>We're all tall, six four guys going. I wish we

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>were strong and ripped like Buddy.

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 2>It's all. It doesn't matter, bro, my man is six

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 2>four wide. I'm like three feet wide. But I would

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 2>like to see. I really like Buddy Matthews for a

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 2>long time. We don't talk about him a lot, but

0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 2>he seems like he's got everything. I don't know too

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:44.959
<v Speaker 2>much about his mic work, I have to like go

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 2>back and watch watch them promos. But as far as

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 2>his work in the ring, top shelf, body, top shelf,

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 2>his look is super super cool and he's he's experimented

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 2>with different looks, like he was not a House of

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Black type vibe when he first was in WW. He

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 2>was basically the opposite of that, and he looked great

0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 2>doing that too, So I'd like to see that. It'd

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 2>be good to get some new blood pumping in there

0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and give some new bushes to guys like Powerhouse Hops,

0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 2>who I think deserves a real push, not just a

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 2>sacrificial land push. To give Buddy Matthews a nice slow

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:24.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, maybe he goes after the inter Intercontinental where

0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 2>they call it the international title. So many freaking titles

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 2>you're going after a title. I'd like to see him

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 2>go after a mid card title first, and hopefully they

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 2>don't put him into the main events stuff right away.

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I like Buddy Matthews a lot, and I

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 2>hope for good things. I'm not going to get too

0:31:38.960 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 2>much into the rest of AEW because it just didn't

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 2>grab It just didn't grab me, and it might be

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 2>because I've been stressed out. It might be because of the

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Netflix thing. It might be their fault. I don't know

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:52.479
<v Speaker 2>whose fault it is, but yeah, SmackDown was what it was.

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 2>It was three hours. It felt like a highlight show

0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 2>for the Monday night Raw. At the end of the day,

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the Cody Ruins Kevin own stuff was really really cool.

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I friggin love Kevin Owens. Dude, like he can be

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>in any kind of match and he's gonna make you

0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 2>give a shit just because his promos are so good

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 2>and he gives you And here's les's unique about Kevin.

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:16.480
<v Speaker 2>He gives you his point of view every time he speaks.

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>So in this instance with Cody Rhodes, he's in the wrong,

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 2>but according to him, and you can even see it

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 2>on his T shirts, it says Kevin was right and

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 2>then he tells you why every single time, and you

0:32:29.400 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 2>remember and it makes you go, oh, I don't agree

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.280
<v Speaker 2>with this dude, but I see where he's coming from,

0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>which I'm very prone to do just in my life

0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 2>in real life, Like I may not agree with something

0:32:38.960 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 2>someone says, but I'll try to find out where they're

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 2>coming from, or I can understand where they're coming from

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:45.719
<v Speaker 2>and go, yeah, we just agree to disagree. I know

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 2>we're not allowed to do that anymore because of social

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 2>media and you have to either like something or not

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 2>like it. But I don't give a shit. So I'm

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:55.479
<v Speaker 2>old and I don't care about that stuff. So I

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.000
<v Speaker 2>loved his promo on the stairs as he was coming

0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 2>down through the crowd and mean, like, how could you

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 2>still stick up for the son of a bitch Roman

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Reigns after everything he did, And you just see Cody

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 2>stewing and stewing in truth. He's stewing in truth because

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the truth fucking hurts, doesn't it. Cody groes, how he

0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna help somebody that ft you over like that? Oh

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna forgive and forget? Screw that. We hold on

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 2>to grudges for life in the wrestling business, and Kevin

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Owens is no exception. Kevin Owens still has the greatest

0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:26.320
<v Speaker 2>moment of the year when he rolled up the window

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 2>on Michael Cole and Michael Cole was trying to interview him.

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:31.479
<v Speaker 2>That's still the greatest moment of the year. That made

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 2>me laugh so much. But this was awesome. Cody just

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 2>said screw it. They went full w CW style. He

0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:38.720
<v Speaker 2>ran out of the ring. They fought in the crowd.

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 2>It was awesome. I love when it gets out of

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 2>the ring and spills into the fans. I think that's

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 2>the coolest shit. Every show I've been to, I've wanted

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:47.760
<v Speaker 2>one of those fights to spell out to where I

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 2>am so that I could be on camera going yeah,

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 2>kick is that as kind of It's never happened once.

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:55.719
<v Speaker 2>They've never even gotten close to me. It's it's I

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 2>want that to happen more than I want to catch

0:33:57.520 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 2>a foul ball at a baseball game. Really, and I'd

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 2>probably want the foul ball or the home run.

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I've caught a foul ball. I checked it off the list.

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I swear to god, you really have. Yeah, it was

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the best moment of Unicorn. That's like I know that

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.359
<v Speaker 1>people want be like, where are you tripping out so hard?

0:34:13.360 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Pretty? You don't understand that's like finding a unicorn. There's

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand people in the stands and you were the

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:20.799
<v Speaker 2>one that caught the ball.

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, they made a documentary about these like old men

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 1>who there like lifelong goal is just to catch a.

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Foul ball at a baseball game.

0:34:27.880 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>They've spent their whole lives because The rule is it

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>can't bounce, it can't.

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Hit off something. It can't I agree with that.

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not like, oh, the ball landed and then you

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.080
<v Speaker 1>ran over and grabbed it from under the seat.

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:42.399
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't count. Count.

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:45.399
<v Speaker 1>You have to catch a foul ball. And it came

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:46.920
<v Speaker 1>right to where I was sitting. I just went, I

0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:48.799
<v Speaker 1>put my hand up and just caught it. It was

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>like a remind it make an assumption here, But I

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>know I'm right. The question would be don't answer. It

0:34:58.120 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 1>would be glove or no glove.

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.839
<v Speaker 2>But I already know the answer because you're a man's man,

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and I know you went no glove, and I know

0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:08.839
<v Speaker 2>you got it bare handed, because that's the true way

0:35:08.880 --> 0:35:10.759
<v Speaker 2>to get a foul ball. When I see grown ups

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 2>bringing gloves to a game and they don't have the

0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 2>guts to take the pain. You got to take the

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 2>pain of the foul ball. I respect that so much.

0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:21.959
<v Speaker 2>The bare handed catch is the most respected fan move

0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 2>in sports outside of professional wrestling, which a fight would

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:30.240
<v Speaker 2>be cool, especially if you but you caught it bare handed. Yes,

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:33.280
<v Speaker 2>bare hand, yep, right, it just caught it. Yeah.

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Also, the adrenaline of the moment made it not hurt

0:35:37.120 --> 0:35:37.399
<v Speaker 1>at all.

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even feel anything, like I have your manliness,

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:41.200
<v Speaker 2>bro well, just.

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Going like I was so excited and like I couldn't

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 1>believe it happened that.

0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:46.839
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I don't, I don't feel anything. So

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the only thing superior to that would have been if

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:50.959
<v Speaker 2>you had a beer. In the other hand, I.

0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Know you ever seen a guy Yeah, I saw that

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 1>on It's Amazing, Yeah, and then they chugged the beer.

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that guy rose. Yeah, those guys are

0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:00.840
<v Speaker 2>the top shelf. Those are Andre the giants.

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna die of some chemical that was rubbed on

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the ball, you know, because he drank all the barrier.

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 2>The picture was greasing it up to get a couple

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:10.279
<v Speaker 2>extra inches on their break. All right, you guys, I
