We got the ratings for Dynamite 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:56.240 on Wednesday, with no NBA competition, the show broke a 0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:01.280 million viewers, had magical million viewer mark. Then everybody always 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.880 freaks out about, well, it went over a million this week. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.200 And we'll tell you about the show and the quarter hours. 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.839 Got some quarter hour knows from Raw as well. We've 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:14.400 got the NXT numbers Mercedes Monet and her future in 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.600 New Japan stardom. We've also got announcing well, I guess 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.200 they've ben't really announced it yet, but it looks like 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.080 they're gonna be running two pay per views coming up 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.000 in May. One of them is a King and Queen 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.079 of the ring. We'll tell you about that at the 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:33.519 update on Jeff Hardy and his DUI case. He has 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.920 been prohibited his license suspended for the next decade. So 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.400 a lot to get into here today. If you want 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.799 Texas four two five seven eight zero seven five six six, 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.280 that is four two five seven eight zero seven five 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:59.320 six six back in a moment with more observer live. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.880 So this is gonna be the new gimmick. Every day, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.160 people demanding people demanding I take calls. God, everyone complains 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.320 about calls for months and months, and all of a sudden, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.480 the gimmick is, oh, you must take calls here today. 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.560 What's the emergency? What's the emergency? Post it right there. 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.440 I want to see what the emergency is that you 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.200 must call about here today. I can't take calls in Hawaii. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.760 How many times do I have to explain this to everybody? 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.800 We've got important things to talk about anyway, including the 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.640 follow up to Elimination Chamber, the SmackDown version. We have 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.880 got Charlotte Flair going face to face with her WrestleMania 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:46.080 thirty nine challenger Aria Ripley. We've got the return of 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.520 Bray Wyatt's Firefly fun House. I guess Bobby Lashley is 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.040 going into the fun house. Do you remember that John 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.440 Cena thing at WrestleMania that I thought was so stupid 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.119 and you liked And it was like one of those 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.160 things where you either liked it or you hated it. Listen, 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:11.080 I hated it. But I demand, I demand Brock Lesner 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:16.640 enters this Firefly fundhouse. I need I need to see 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.600 this as much as I need to see Bobby Lashley 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.240 and Brock Lesner versus Bray White and Uncle Howdy. I 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.719 don't think I'm getting either of them. Look, I don't 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.640 know what I did to deserve this. What question the 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.200 Montreal finished? I have to be punished now. I don't 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.200 know what Bobby Lashley did to deserve this, but he's 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.200 getting Bray wyat. But yeah, I'm much like you. I'd 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.720 like to see Brock Lessner walk through that portal and 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.600 then all of a sudden there's Shelton Benjamin in the 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.960 corner and Brock looks down and he's got his Minnesota 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.120 Stretching Crew outfit on, and all of a sudden, it's 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.120 like OVW World and it takes him back to their 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.680 and can you imagine the hilarity that could ensue, and 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.479 that would be much better than what they're doing with 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.480 both Brock and Omas and whatever they do with Bobby 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.120 Lashly and Bray White, because it doesn't seem like it's 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.719 a good fit. But who am I? Right? Yeah? Who 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.240 are you? I heard that? I heard that last week. Actually, 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.640 Ray Mysterio will be facing Carrie and Cross. I feel 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.040 like I've seen that one before. And then we've got 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:21.120 Imperium against Bronze Roman, Ricochet and Madcab Moss. So a 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:26.160 couple of notes, Dominic is valid to be at SmackDown. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.159 So I think we can all figure out what's gonna 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.679 be happening in this Ray Mysterio versus Carrie and Cross match. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.000 And also, you know if you guys, and normally I 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.800 ignore this stuff, but I actually saw it for once. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.320 I don't even know how, but they did a gimmick 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.719 on social media which you're gonna find hard to believe. Everybody, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:50.400 but Madcab Moss and Emma are teasing a heel turn. 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:57.120 Why well, because Madcap was unable to beat Gunther because 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.240 of the fans. The fans were too noisy during that 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:07.200 match or something, and so because of the fans, it 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.840 appears that Madcap Moss and Emma are turning. Heel you, 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:17.600 this is stupid. Wow, this is stupid in every way. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.640 You just look. All you have to do is give 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.240 Moss his first name back and stop being madcap. And 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.680 all of a sudden you have a guy who's legitimate. 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.440 You know, he can talk, he's got a good body, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.720 he's been there forever, Like, can we give this guy 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.919 a chance to actually break out and do something without 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.039 saddling him with more nonsense unless this is going to 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.359 dovetail with braun Breaker, since apparently they don't want the 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:48.440 fans to like him either, So we have Wednesdays at 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.320 dynamite number, which I will admit caught me off guard. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.960 The show did one point zero three million viewers, which 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.159 was up twenty five percent from a week ago. It 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.559 is the largest total audience for the show since October five. 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.640 The eighteen to forty nine demo was a point three five, 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.920 which was up thirty percent from last week, and it 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.040 was the best rating in that demos in September fourteen 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.320 of last year. Ratings were up in every single demo 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.920 except women eighteen to forty nine, where they were even. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:31.280 Males twelve to thirty four, up fifty two point four percent, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.840 and as compared to last week, they were up one 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.640 percent in overall viewers down twelve percent and eighteen to 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.240 forty and they've lost a lot of eighteen to forty 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.640 nine viewers a year over year. But if you're wondering why, 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:48.640 and when this number first came out, I was wondering why. Well, 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.440 it was not Evil Uno, I'm sorry to say. And 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.560 it was not Tony Kahn's big announcement, I am sorry 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.240 to say, And it was not the Battle Royal, I'm 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.280 sorry to say. What it was was the lack of 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.760 NBA competition for the first time in a long time. 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:14.440 And if you look at the quarters, the show just opened, well, 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.400 it opened over a million, and it largely stayed over 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:22.800 a million until coincidentally that Battle Royal, and they started 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.480 losing viewers. During the Battle Royal, they bottomed out in 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.760 the typical death spot. They went up a little bit 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.280 for the Mosley Evil Uno match, and that's the story. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.120 I mean, people just tuned in in larger numbers at 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.000 the beginning, and they watched seventy five minutes of the 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.880 show and then they had largely I guess had enough 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.880 and they started losing viewers at that point. And it's 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.160 actually kind of when you look at the raw number 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:53.199 for Monday raw average two million. And what happened was 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.600 they had a very strong first hour and the viewers 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.200 stayed strong through the second hour, and then they fell 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.880 off a cliff in that third hour. And you know, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.200 we've mentioned a million times shows too long. I mean, 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.680 people tuned in, they wanted to see what happened after 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.120 the elimination chamber, and they liked what they saw. But 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.720 after about two hours, it's like we've seen two hours. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.720 Main event was Edge versus Austin Theory. I know, if 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.160 you don't like Edge, you're gonna place to blame all 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.520 on Edge. And I don't think that you can blame 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.679 Edge for this, and I really don't even think you 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.800 can blame Austin Theory. What you can say is people 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.920 saw that the main event was Austin Theory versus Edge 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.840 for the US title. They did not believe that Edge 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.480 was going to win the title, and he didn't, and 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.000 they decided, I've seen my two hours. I'm going to 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.080 I'm gonna go do something else. But for those of 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.800 you tracking, and it's way too early, the opening half 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.080 hour where they had Sammy Zane all over the show. 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.640 That was the highest rated thing on the show. The 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.280 show went down a little bit afterwards, and then it 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.640 did go up for Cody, and then it dipped again. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.240 So you know, Sammy and Cody are the two biggest movers. 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.160 And if you have to, you know, break it down. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.920 Sammy did do better than Cody on this show. Barely 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.760 it was. It was largely even, but Sammy did do 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.959 better in the but of course it was the opening 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.480 of the show. People too, it in after the pay 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.560 per view. They want to find out what happened. So 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.680 that's the Raw story. And the only other number quickly 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:32.000 is NXT five nine thousand, second highest audience since January 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:36.240 twenty four. I guess that's the last four weeks, sixteenth 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.559 on the cable charts, point one four at eighteen to 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.079 forty nine. And it was just it was a fine show. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.160 But Raw was number one, two and three on cable 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.760 and Dynamite was number one on cable. So wrestling is 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.320 doing very well right now if you are one of 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:59.599 the two big shows on cable, Raw and Dynamite, and 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.360 I'm sure SmackDown tonight is probably gonna do another two 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.320 point three million viewers, So those are your numbers. You're 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.920 not impressed by the twenty three thousand people who came 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.640 back for the overrun of NXT to see Gender obviously 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.480 the big boost to that show at the end, I 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.440 was not that impressed. I mean, there's probably twenty three 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:24.800 thousand people that were waiting for the next show. Listen 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.560 to everybody, don't pull this gender god hindered thing. Okay, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.400 like God, bless the guy. I have nothing against him. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.000 But like I said last night on the Brian of 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.880 Any show, if you took somebody who has never watched 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.640 pro wrestling and you showed them braun Breaker versus Gender, 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.840 and you said, one of these men has been wrestling 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.480 for a long time and he is a former world champion, 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.000 and the other guy has been wrestling for a year 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:59.240 and a half and he's in developmental. Okay, ninety nine 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.959 percent of the people are going to guess that braun 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.080 Breaker is the guy guy who has been wrestling long time, 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.960 it is a former champion, and the other guy is 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.760 the guy who's been in developmental for a year and 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.120 a half. It was not an impressive showing. It was 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.760 the worst Broun Breaker title match we've seen. I mean, 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:21.360 there's one thing here and it ain't Broun Breaker. Friends, 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.640 but you know what, bron Breaker's got to get used 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.000 to that when he does become a star on the 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.720 main roster, and then he's got a face off against 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:35.319 a lot more guys like gender than guys like Kevin Owens. God, 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.520 I hope not if he's in the title picture. I'd 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.680 like to hope not either, But you know what, big 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.160 guys they like him back in a moment it is 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:53.520 ever live. Yeah, well, I haven't heard what was so 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:59.160 important in terms of calls. I tried. Sorry everybody, all right. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.800 Mercedes Money only committed to two more dates with New 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.400 Japan and Stardom, this coming off her just winning the 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.200 IWGP Women's title. She's only committed to two more dates. 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:15.720 April eighth at Sumo Hall for New Japan on the 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.360 Sakura Genesis Show, where she'll defend against Zumi, who was 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.840 an excellent worker. Dave ads at a rematch with Kyrie 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.840 at one point was planned, but they changed that. And 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.439 then the other one is April twenty third, Yokohama Arena 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.920 Mayu Iwatani, probably a title match that says here, I 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.240 guess unless she loses to a Zumi part of a 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.360 double main event, which will likely be a World of 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:44.240 Stardom Championship match with Julie against tam Nakano. So I 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:48.920 guess we'll see what happens after that. I mean, she 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.880 either signs or she's got to drop that title. Right, 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.360 we're not gonna do this again, are we? Are you 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.040 do this again? I would hope we won't do this again. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.199 Would make too much sense to lose it to my 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.439 Yui Watai too. You know, you can build easily build 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.120 a storyline around that. So you know, we know the 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.960 matches are going to be good. We just had one 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.200 with Kyrie. When you look at a Zoomi and when 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.040 you look at Mau, you figure, okay, unless the bottom 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.480 falls out, she's going to have two really good matches 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.600 with them too. And then if she drops the belt 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:24.800 and goes away and just goes on a barn storming tour. Cool. Now. 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.400 I'm not sure if that has helped New Japan and 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.320 Startom overall, but we're gonna have to see. But when 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.000 it comes to the match quality, you know, I'm hey, 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.880 I'm getting my money's worth because you know, I only 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.160 paid a pay per view costs to watch her. So 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.840 whether New Japan and Startom do or not, that's to 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:50.280 be determined. We've got WWE running two pay per views 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:55.840 in May. According to Brandon Thurston, they have Backlash scheduled 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.720 for May sixth, and King of the Ring and Queen 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:05.040 the Ring on May twenty seventh, which sounds to me 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.400 like we would do the tournaments on television and then 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.000 the finals or maybe the semifinals and finals for both 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.960 of those would be on the pay per view, because 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.360 I don't think you can run two tournaments on one 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.000 pay per view unless you want to have a bunch 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.200 of short nothing to happen in matches. So the schedule 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.640 at this point looks to me. WrestleMania Night one April first, 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.200 Rustlemania Night two April second, Backlash May sixth, King and 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.880 Queen of the Ring May twenty seven, Money the Bank 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:35.400 July first, and SummerSlam is August fifth. That is the 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:40.200 lineup we have. Yeah, well, you know I'm going to 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.920 two of those at least WrestleMania Night one and two, 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.720 But that's it at the moment. Oh, at the moment, 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.600 we have the Florida d Y case in involving Jeff Hardy, 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.560 dating back to June at twenty twenty two, closed on 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:57.960 at a Thursday. He submitted a written plea of nolo 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.080 contend there to all charges. It is where a defendant 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.200 agrees that's my latin. So where a defendant agrees to 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:10.960 accept punishment but does not accept or deny responsibility, does 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.880 not accept or to nigh responsibility. Yes, for that in 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:19.080 which they were charged. Seems like there's only two options there. No, No, 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.800 that's not how this works in the legal system. You 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.000 have a couple of ways, a couple of times where 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.880 it's it's not an admission of guilt, it's not anything, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:35.320 it's no low content rae. Well, according to the Valusia 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.960 County Court records, here is the full sentence in abeyance. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.720 There you go. There's another one there. He has a 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.200 thirty day county jail sentence with thirty days credit for 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.560 time served, two years probation, four thousand, five hundred eighty 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.920 six dollars in fines and court fees, ten year suspension 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.000 of his license, a ten year suspension of his license. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.440 You know this point, you may as well just suspended 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.080 that license for the rest of his life. I mean it, 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.240 let's be honest here, two years with an interlock device 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:10.919 and ninety day vehicle impoundment. I mean if year with 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:16.520 an interlock device never should be no vehicle. Yes, is 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.200 that for the lawnmower, because that counts. If you've ever 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.560 seen any of those cops shows, you'd know if you 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.320 saw a guy with a John Deer driving down the road, 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.320 you can be picked up for a dui if he's drunk, 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:32.000 got a bike anything. So, I mean, I don't know, 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.560 that's just completely ridiculous. I don't even know if it does. 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.879 It does make no sense here that he would have 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.240 to have an interlock for two years but can't drive 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.359 for ten years, and his vehicle is only impounded for 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.919 ninety days. So so he just has the vehicle that 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.560 he can just look at every day. Oh man, there's 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.639 my vehicle. I can look at. I can't get in it. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.560 I can't go anywhere. Well. To be fair, though, to 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.919 be fair, that's his property and it actually has a 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.440 value where y if you think about it, he can't 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.760 drive for ten years, he should be able to go 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.600 ahead and sell it. So maybe you can go ahead. Well, 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:05.920 I mean, if that's the case, just give him the 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.800 damn car back and let him sell it. I mean, 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.080 what his punishment is, you can't sell the car for 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.760 ninety days. I know, I don't know. The whole thing's weird, 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.960 core mandated DUI school or drug rehab program, community service. 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:23.520 So uh, he blew eighth Florida the legal limited Florida's 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.280 point zero eight. He blew a point two nine four. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.560 And this wasn't the first time. So I just think, 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.800 you know, not only that you get rid of the 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.359 whole car thing, what time of morning? Remember, because like 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.440 I know, and it doesn't matter what time of day 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.120 it was, because at any point it's completely ridiculous, stupid, dangerous, 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.760 all of that stuff. But it was also rush hour 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.760 in the morning with school buses on the road. That 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.040 he was like that he had no idea where he 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:56.760 was none, you know, on a on a look at 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.440 camp counselor position like you're gonna like I'm on vacation. 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.560 I went to the QFC by my house a few 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:11.480 days ago, and I'm really lounging for this story, and 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.520 they have a they have a Starbucks in there, so 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.800 I was gonna get a cake pop for my child, 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.240 and listen, Bothel is a small town, but it ain't 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.959 that small, okay. So I go to this QFC and 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.960 I'm trying to order my food and you know, I 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.000 don't know what it is about Starbucks, but it's like 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.520 they got one person working there, and that person also 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.840 has to make everyone's coffee, which is always like a 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:41.800 really complicated order, and so you're just sitting there waiting 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.679 and waiting, and I'm like God, And then they have 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.960 two people working there. These two girls are working there, 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.600 and like they're both making a coffee together. I'm like, 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.280 why can't want do you take an order and the 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.440 other one make the coffee? Like what's going on here? 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.840 So I'm just waiting forever and finally they get done 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.280 with a coffee and I'm ready to order this cake 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:02.240 pop for my child. But now they're talking. They're ignoring me. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.239 They're talking and they're looking out because it's it's in 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.560 the KFC, so you can like look out the window 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.479 and you can see the parking lot and everything, and 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.520 they're they're whispering about this guy. They're like, oh man, 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:17.320 he's leaving. And I'm like, what's going on here? Is 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.080 this like some in mind in the middle of some 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.760 you know, romance show. There's a camera behind me here, 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.439 Who are these swooning over in the parking lot? So 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.520 I look out and see who they're talking about, and 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.520 they're actually not swooning what they're what they're what they're 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.400 in awe of. And at this point I forgave them 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.320 for not paying attention to me and taking my order. 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.959 There's a guy who decided that he was going to 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:44.919 go get his groceries in a John Dear tractor. He 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:50.000 has taken his tractor to the grocery store. Now, maybe 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:51.760 some of you that live in a rural area, this 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:53.560 is not like anything that we would find out of 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.040 the ordinary. But let me tell you something. In Bothel, 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:58.879 I don't even know where he would have had a 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.160 John Dear tractor. He has taken his John Deer tractor 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:06.000 to the store. He is he has literally found a 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.320 way to park in a stall. He has gone in 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.159 to get his groceries, and then he's gone out and 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.680 he's driving his John Deer tractor away. I was like, 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:21.680 what is going on here? What is happening? Dude thinks 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.040 he's trying to skirt. Do you need a license? For that. 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.200 He was even, well, that's what he's probably trying to 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.320 get around, going, well, I just got it taken away, 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.080 but I still need to get up here, So that's 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.120 what he's doing. But yeah, yeah, I bet you it's 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.840 either that or listen on mushrooms or dust or something 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.800 like that and just figure, all right, I'm ding to 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.840 the store. You know, some of you some of you 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:48.040 don't get it. I understand that in some places it 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:52.439 is not unusual to drive your John Deer tractor to 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:58.240 the grocery store. The difference is this doesn't happen in Bothel. 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.280 There isn't even any you were for him to use 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:06.040 his John Deer tractor. There is no farmland, there is 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:10.280 no like, what was he even doing with this thing? 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.760 What was he doing with a John Deer tractor in Bothel? 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:19.200 God late. I think the craziest part of the whole story, though, 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:24.240 was when like everybody just finally stopped looking slack drawn 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:26.439 out the window with that guy and turned around and 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:31.080 there was the boss of the entire place, Keana James, 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.440 telling everyone to get back to work and stopped gawking. Dude. 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:36.399 I wish Keana James would be there telling people to 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.080 get back to work. Give me my cake pop. Dude, 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:45.120 don't what no goofy drink anyway. You do a couple 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.080 of text text messages here, I don't get anything. I 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.480 don't get anything. I got a cake pop for my child. 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:56.280 I don't drink anything. Now listen, are you only going 0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:58.439 to rant about Starbucks and how every time they have 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.560 something that's good to eat, it's only there for like 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.199 six months and they discontinue it. I don't even want 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.639 to get into that the Michigan cherry coffeecake. I know 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.240 what you're talking about. I know, Bryan, since here in Hawaii, 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:11.720 maybe you could meet up with that guy with the 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.760 grades who had banned. Yeah, well, I don't think he's 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:22.480 on this island, and if he is, change islands. One 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.119 important part of the King of the Ring Queen of 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:25.960 the Ring is that it's taking place on double or 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:29.119 Nothing weekend. I take it Tony Khan isn't too happy 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:30.960 about that one. Well, I'm sure you know he'll be 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.600 upset about that, but not the first time that we've 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.879 had a doubling up on pay per views and that 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:40.360 sort of thing. Yeah, this person here says, if wwe 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.399
