He didn't even pay 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.240 attention to the screen. I am dripping wet right now, 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.720 and not in the way you guys are thinking, Oh 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.320 my hair is Ian's on the screen? Right? Okay? All right, 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.120 just making sure no, I got out of the shower 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.200 and I ran downstairs and pulled my air back. So yeah, 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.919 sorry about that. I ride out of time today. Hubs 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.200 had to run to work and I was doing double 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.480 duty in the house. So you know, I made it. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.239 But I'm not as glamorous as I usually am. Oh yeah, 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.359 I think you look good. You know, everything's all said. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.040 We have a good show on tap. We actually have 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.800 a pre recorded interview, but a long one. H So 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.160 we'll keep the kind of the front part of this 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.360 a little short, but we'll get a little catch up 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.560 on what's going on. Last weekend, you did your virtual 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.320 signing with RF video signed by Superstars. It was, you 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:49.440 know again, multiple hours of extra edited entertainment, singing, the dancing, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.960 the trying of things. Like you you turn a virtual 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.560 signing into an experience. I turned it. It's a party. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.480 That one is a party, like I just I don't know. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.360 I've done a couple of them now and that's the 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.440 most fun. You know, we just we're just idiots and 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.280 it's it's just so fun to watch. So we talked 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.680 about jelly beans being you know, different flavors, and you've 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.600 tried some candies from all around the world. But I 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.800 am not a fan of these, and I wouldn't even 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.840 try a regular flavored. But you what were these peeps 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.440 that you were talking about, these saracha peeps? And what 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.520 were the peeps about? I don't know. Betty had them 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:32.480 and she forgot to bring them, but they taste like sarachia. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.520 And I don't like peeps anyway. I'm a big marshmallow person. 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.560 I don't like peeps. They just don't appeal to me. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.799 But I had the fiery five being boozled set. Okay, 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.760 so that's what it was. I was in and out, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.200 So that's what it was. You. I knew you had something. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.440 That's what I had in studio with me. So I 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:54.080 was making everybody try a jelly bean and it went 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.719 from number one, which is the least hot, to number five, 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.480 which I think was like it wasn't a ghost pepper, 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.840 but it was. It was like hot, and I can't 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:09.880 even have like black pepper. For me. It was difficult. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.600 And I had a bottle of water and I had 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.440 my water the little cap, you know, I had it 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.440 to decide, and I was like, I would suck on 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.400 the jellibean, but I would take it out and I 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.480 would like put it in the cap, and Rob caught 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.919 me and he made me. He made me chew and swallow. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.760 Oh hey, what are you a magician? You're trying to 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.359 really hidden. It was like next to me where I 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.599 was signing that they were and he just happened to 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.000 look over and he goes, wait a minute, He goes, 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.920 you're not swallowing yours. I like, no, I'm just kind 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.599 of sucking on them and putting them in the thing. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:44.000 And I got in trouble. So but it was fun. Yeah, 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.159 it looked like a lot of fun. I was in 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.159 and now at t ball and softball and everything going on. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.360 So I popped in a few times, say hi. Our 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:56.320 Patreon member Rod dominated the day. Every time I turned around, 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.479 Rod was getting talked about. So I felt like I 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:03.719 was watching like an extension of one of our extravaganzas. Yeah, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.960 and you do it so so well and it's always 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.960 so much fun. And I'm looking to buy that Shane 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.080 Douglas T shirt that you had that I couldn't find 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.000 anything else about either. What the hell was that shirt? Yeah, 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.880 it wasn't that awesome. And I had the holes. Yeah, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.440 the whole promo in the background was it was great. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.039 I got to add it to my collection. Mm hmm, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:28.159 what a mark. So it well, I wasn't gonna outbid 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.679 anybody who wanted it. You know, they added to their collection. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.760 Trying to think what else is going on? I mean, 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.719 it's been a crazy week, but you know, what's what's 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.000 going on with you? You have you been doing? So? Yeah, 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.440 a couple of things. I went to the dentist. Lovely 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.520 my braces. I can't get them as a line my mouth. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.600 I just can't do it because the way my teeth. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:56.839 Six thousand dollars whoa, yeah, a lot of Shane Douglas 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:01.160 T shirts to sell. I'm gout it, as the British say, 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.400 I'm very very upset about that. So yeah, that's gonna 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.840 cost me a pretty penny, but hopefully it'll be worth 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.560 it when I'm done. And uh, but I can't get 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.640 an appointment for another four to six weeks because the 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.520 guy's booked and I'm just like great. And on a 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.920 better note, I tried you know how I told you 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.760 I tried those gummies and they made me completely sick. Yes, 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.120 so we have a friend who has a legit is 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:36.040 it dispensary, dispense dispensary. So him and his wife are 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.680 advocates of this and they know everything the ins and outs, 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:49.760 and they gifted us for five milligram capsules of what's 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:57.239 it called in in in crap in Indica. I believe 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:02.160 it's called I mean, see no clue, so I can't 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:07.480 get indica. It's indica. Apparently the stuff we had before 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.600 is garbage. And that's why I got so sick. Okay, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.280 So the other night I didn't do it last night 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.400 because I did twitch last night. But the other night 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:21.800 I tried it, I did not get sick. My pain 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:27.040 was still there, but I felt like I slept deeper Okay, 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.760 still woke up the pay, which pissed me off because 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.320 it's supposed to like slow down your urge to go 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.439 to the bathroom. It drops your blood pressure. What's that? 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.960 Maybe we think of adult diapers when we take a 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.360 gummy get up. This wasn't a gummy. This was a 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:49.320 capsule capsule, okay, a capsule, and it was anywhere. It's yeah, 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.719 the there there's there's different things for you know, different uh. 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.360 I guess moods that you want to be in. This 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.640 is the Indica is supposed to make you like sleep 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.320 well help pain. So I only tried it once. But 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.200 the good thing is I did not get sick. I 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.120 didn't have the spins, I didn't feel like I was 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.040 gonna vomit. So I'm gonna try it again and see 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.120 if it helps me. But you compare it with like 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.480 a weatment, a cream that like I can put on 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.040 my neck and my shoulders and my hands and anything 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.400 that hurts me, and maybe the combination will just let 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.319 me drift off into a happy place. Face. I don't know. 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:32.120 I'm not really down with the whole weed thing. Yeah, 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.920 I mean, when does it become like a full blown 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.520 weed experience. I'm not going to move across the line. Yeah, 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.679 I know, I'm not going to smoke it. And you know, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.400 I was told, well, maybe you know, eventually you need 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.960 to go up to ten. I was like, whoa, I 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.600 took one thing, Like, I'm not ready to start jumping 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.360 around with doses like this is crazy, but I am 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.120 in pain. So I'm just trying. You know, we're trying stuff. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.839 We'll see if it works. But I was just super 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:07.640 that I didn't get sick. All victories, right, absolutely, Yeah, Okay, well, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.680 good to reports. So next time, we'll see where you 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.840 go from there soon. Yeah, we'll see. But everybody said 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.720 this stuff is great, so we'll see what happens. Interesting. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.160 I had my first COVID test a few days Yeah 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.240 you did. I'm hoping it was negative. It was negative. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.720 I got the results this morning. I got it eight hours. 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.800 So I wanted to mention this a few weeks ago, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.240 and we just got the show's got away from us. 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.000 But my dad is being honored by the New York Mets. 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.400 Now it's a couple of days ago, but so I'm 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.600 actually going up to City Field to where the Mets 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.839 play and my dad and then believe the third inning. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:44.800 So if you want to go back and watch it, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.720 if you have your MLB package, they'll play a little 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.680 video for him. They'll mention his service time and his 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.240 medals and his awards, and it gets a little round 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.920 of applause from the City Field. Faithful, And it's going 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.000 to be a turns out like a kind of like 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.760 a little family not re union, but like a gathering. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.040 My brother's gonna be there, my uncle, a couple of 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.679 my cousins, my aunt's gonna be there, and it's it's 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:12.120 gonna be pretty cool. But City Field and Yankee Stadium 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.440 are the only Major League Baseball clubs presently that require 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.160 a proof of vaccine or a negative COVID test within 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.400 seventy two hours to allow entry. So I had to 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.600 follow a schedule. When should I go get the test, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.360 When do I get the results back? And when can 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.000 I go to the field? Do you feel it's because 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.679 New York City is such a cesspool right now? I 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.679 don't know, because California doesn't require a California is bad, 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.400 you know, Florida's up and down. I don't know, it's 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.800 I guess New York is just maybe they're just trying 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.240 to set the standard. The Buffalo Bills, which is you know, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.120 Northern New York said that they're only allowing vaccinated people 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.920 into the stadium in the football season next this year 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.040 and later in the year, and that they'll try to 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.040 get full capacity, but you have to be vaccinated, so 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.240 you have to share your card. Yeah, yep, proof of vaccination. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.960 I'm sorry. I don't agree with that at all. It's 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.200 it sucks, and I'll tell you, like the test, you know, 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:14.000 it's not comfortable, it's not fun. I wouldn't go and 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:15.720 do it again if I didn't have to, you know, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.240 And I've gone all this time without having to get one. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.199 But they take the biggest cute tit that you can 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.360 find and they shove it and she goes, I'm not 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.280 gonna pick your brain. She goes, I'm just gonna go 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.920 fish for some boogers. Right, that's what she said. This 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.040 is what the lady said to me. And yeah, she goes, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.680 she goes, I'm gonna fish for boogers. That's what she says, right. 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.040 And she's a very nice lady. I get the humor 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.160 and she goes, you might tear up a little bit, 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.040 and I'm like, fun, fuck that. I'm a man. I 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.200 ain't cheer up for shit. I'm a man baby. She 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.080 goes up one side and I'm like oh, and she 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.000 goes up the other side. I'm like oh. And I 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.199 look at her and she's like, okay, you're all set. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:58.239 I'm like, thank you. As I do you show insurance? 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.840 Yes you do. Because last night when I was doing Twitch, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:08.200 something popped on during the aw broadcast. I think it 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.280 might have been a commercial or something, and it was 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.640 CVS or I got an email I can't remember which one, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.920 but they're selling COVID test now for twenty three ninety nine. Okay, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.000 you could just run. If you don't want to be 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.600 bothered by going to one of the stations, you can 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.320 just go to CBS and buy this test and you'll 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.120 know in fifteen minutes if you have it or not. Well, 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.480 I had to get a certain type of test. That 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.120 was the other thing. There was either one rapid test 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.280 that is in New York that I could have gotten, 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.480 or this PCR test. I don't think that one's going 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.920 to be this PCR test. Okay, it's a guaranteed forty 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.240 eight hour turnaround. The only thing I can give them 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.439 credit for is if you think back to like March April, 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.800 when people were getting tests and they were getting lost 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.960 and it was taken ten days and people were sweating 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.880 it out. Now it takes guarantee of forty eight hours. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:58.800 And I had it even before the forty hours. I mean, 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.839 if I took the test to nine thirty am Tuesday, 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:07.000 I had it at five thirty am today, So yeah, 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.160 it was interesting. Again, I wouldn't do it again. My 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.439 nose was irritated for the rest of the day because 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.680 just the inside of your nose is you know, if 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.200 it gets a flame from cotton, it's that wasn't comfortable. 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.560 So whatever, it's done. But I'm looking forward to going 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.760 up to New York for the first time in almost 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.240 five years. Yeah, so it's gonna be an interesting one. Yeah, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.840 just be careful. I was hoping to come back and 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.440 see you on the way back, but we couldn't sync 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:38.720 up yet again. Now I think it's I'm taking it personal. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.400 The next time I will officially take it personal. Don't 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.120 take it personal because I offered to change plans and 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.000 you said, my pot I didn't accommodate that, and I 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.200 was like, huh, I said, don't worry about I got 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:53.280 to get back, rush back. I met my uncle, offered 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.640 lunch after the thing I have on Saturday. I was 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.240 like okay, and I had to run back. I was 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.960 also offered good body of mine has a signing out 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:06.280 on Long Island with a couple wrestling superstars. He's projected 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.480 to come by say hi. I was like, I cannot 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.960 do it. I gotta get right back to Virginia. I'm 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.360 so in demand these days, jeez, I know. I got 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.560 a text from Brian Myers wanting to go to Jimmy 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.920 Seafood to do their podcast, but in the date that 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:27.240 they offered, I'm not available for so interesting bummer. Maybe 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.360 in the future I can hook up with those guys, 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.440 but right now I don't know. I have a May 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.000 in July, are the oh, and I have something in November. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.280 But that's pretty much it. That's a long time away. Yeah, 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.200 that's might as well be that might as well be 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.160 the future. All right, let's see, So we have a 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.480 really cool interview today. I was digging this one. I 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.200 was listening to a lot of music afterwards, listening to 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.920 the stylings of Harry Slash. What a great uh, what 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.160 a great guest that we had on Yeah, he's and 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:02.760 I've spoken to him afterwards as well about a couple 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.960 of things. But yeah, he's you know, he's been around 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.520 as long as most of the guys have, so I 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.520 knew he would have some good stories to tell him. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.520 He did, He delivered, So it's a good listen. Paul 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.720 Hayman story was my favorite by I won't spoil anything, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.920 I will say though, I listened to a twelve minute 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.720 clip or video of all the different versions of the 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.160 ECW song there's like five different versions that were used. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.480 Guys got some talent, you know, and he was there 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.800 for a reason. Yeah, and I say I say it 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.240 in their interview. Every time I hear it, I get 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.320 goosebumps because it just brings me back to that place 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.720 where I remember shows starting. Let's go, let's get let's 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.080 get it. You know. We were so excited and Harry 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.920 was a big part of the company. So I'm glad 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.840 we got to sit down and talk to him. All right, 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.360 throw it to the interview, No, throw it to the end. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:17:00.640 There you go. I'll just introduce them with Harry Slash. So, Harry, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.320 I'm happy to see you back at you. Yes, absolutely, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:11.399 I saw you right before the pandemic. I believe January 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:16.080 of last year you stopped by the Wrestling Universe. Was 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:21.800 it something like that, yeah, Jack Sabbath, Yeah, yes, so 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.240 Shane and I got to chit chat with you there 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.240 for a lot. It's great. No, that was not January. 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.240 I think that was before. That was No, that was 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.280 my last signing. It was January of twenty twenty. Okay, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.199 that was the last signing I did in person, and 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.720 I saw you there. I was happy to see you 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.600 because it had a while. Yeah, so let's start with this. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.200 What have you been up to lately? Sitting in the 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.280 same chair I'm talking to you now for the last year. 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:55.040 Well besides that working on music, are you doing a 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.520 real job, like what's going on in the world. Prior 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.919 to the pandemic. I was about to start rehearsals. I 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.159 had about a dozen shows booked for last year. I 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.440 was going to be getting on the Newport Folk Festival, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.320 which is a really, really big music event up at Newport, 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:20.119 Rhode Island, and then it all disappeared. So I, like 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.240 everybody else in my universe, have been writing this out. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.480 Most of the people I know are in the entertainment 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.840 world in some form or another, and it all came 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:35.320 to a crashing hault last February last March. Yep. Yeah, 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.680 a lot of my friends are not doing so well. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.600 I'm okay for the time being. I could ride this 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.240 out for another six months to a year if I 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.560 have to, but others can't. You know. Right now, New 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:54.200 York is trying to figure things out. I believe live 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:59.600 entertainment will start shortly, but at like minimum capacity, which 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.199 trying to do a live show with twenty five percent capacity. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.760 You're just bleeding money. You're not making any money, you're 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.640 losing money. You know, as far as recording studios that 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.520 came to the grinding hall too, and a lot of 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.160 the higher end studios will only take one client day 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.199 and you're paying for like twelve hours but only working 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.639 for eight because the first two and last two they 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:30.439 dedicate to completely sanitizing the place. And even still, my 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.040 good friend, my saxophone player, did a session and he 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.879 got COVID. Wow, even though he was the only person 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.639 in the booth. You know, it may have been from 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.639 the session, it may not have been, but he was 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.639 super careful. And then the next thing you know, he 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:50.959 spent about like a week and a half in the hospital. Wow. Well, 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.320 you know, as far as I know, the apes haven't 0:19:54.359 --> 0:20:00.439 started talking yet, so you know, as soon as that happens, 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.320 I'm done, I'm out of here. Well are you still 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.720 with the Slash Tunes? Yes? Okay, the Slash Stones is 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.959 basically anybody I'm playing with at that moment. Yeah, you 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:14.560 just rotate and yeah, yeah, going on, like thirty different 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.440 people in and out of that band at one point 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:22.320 or another. Yeah. Right, so I met you obviously, through ECW. Yeah, 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:27.960 you were friends with Paul Hayman. Yeah. How did your 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:31.040 friendship with him come about? Like? Where did you meet Paul? 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.080 I know, I know the story, but people don't. I 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.399 want people to know how you got into this wacky 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.359 world of professionals. I met Paul. I met Paul Hayman 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.359 waiting online to use the bathroom at the China Club, Okay, 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.679 and had absolutely no idea who he was or what 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.600 he did for a living because I wasn't watching wrestling 0:20:52.680 --> 0:21:00.439 back then. Now, what year was this ninety? Okay? So 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:06.280 was he in w CW at the time, probably, honestly, 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:10.520 I yes, yes, I think he was in wc wherever 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.720 it was that he won the Manager of the Year 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:18.359 award for Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Yeah, okay, I think it 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:22.320 was w c Well, yeah, it was probably WCW, because 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.040 there was one time at the Limelight. You know, I'd 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.159 been channel surfing, you know, hitting the clicker, and you know, 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:32.040 I came across some wrestling thing that I thought was complete. 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.400 Three stooges, goofy, and then that Sunday night at the Limelight, 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.640 I'm like, hey, I saw this stupid thing, this one 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.879 guy with a tennis racket. This other guy would a 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.520 cell phone and they had this stupid fencing match. It 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.320 was hysterical. It was him that I was talking about, 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.240 but I didn't realize it was him. Right. Did he 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.240 take offense to that? No? He thought it was great 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:54.240 because I was actually one of the few people within 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.879 the club world that treated him like a person and 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.919 not like poly dangerously. I just knew Paul right. I 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:06.480 didn't know what a Pulley dangerously was. How did you 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.879 hear your waiting to go to the bathroom? Like, do 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.800 you go, you do your duty, you come out, and 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:16.840 you see him again, and you just strake up a conversation. Actually, no, okay, 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.280
