And I was talking to somebody, I was like, 147 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: this feels like the most ethical like company to watch 148 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: right now, Like I feel the least bad watching this. 149 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. 150 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's just it's just a mess. 151 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: It's such a mess. 152 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, So tell us, actually, how did you get into 153 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 6: New Japan? 154 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: Kyle? I was like super in Red Dragon, I fell 155 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: down that rabbit hole, like I think I bought like 156 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: a DVD like the whole nine Yards. I was like, 157 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: I loved these guys. Yeah, and then the first match 158 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: I ever watched was Kyle versus Kushida, and I was 159 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: just like, oh my god, but it's happening here, like 160 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: wait a minute. And then I kept watching the rest 161 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: of the show and I was like, okay, I saw 162 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: and I was like. 163 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 5: Yeah what. 164 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute. This is different. Like it. 165 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 6: Blows your mind once you actually start watching Japanese wrestling, 166 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 6: and it's a little bit intimidating to get into because 167 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 6: it's just another promotion to learn about and it's almost 168 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 6: a totally different culture. I mean, it is a totally 169 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 6: different culture, but it's so it's such an integral part 170 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 6: of wrestling as a whole that people really don't realize about. 171 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: You know. 172 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 6: It's almost like Japan is where you go to prove yourself, 173 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 6: Like that's just a lot of wrestlers is the most 174 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 6: top tier that you can do, and that's like bucket 175 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 6: lists for a lot of people. So I think that, yeah, 176 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 6: it's it's something that i've you know, we do. We've 177 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 6: started Joshi Sunday's uh every Sunday Joshi Sundays On Sundays, 178 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 6: it's repetitive, but I need to get past Okata.

And I think, especially because he works 504 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 2: here and also up north, like people like that, people 505 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 2: that travel around, you know, they could be kind of 506 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 2: put into those kinds of roles. I just I don't know. 507 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 2: I don't really know, because then you get into the 508 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: weird place where you're like, I don't want to put 509 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: too much responsibility on one person. 510 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 5: It has to be I mean, has to be everybody. 511 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 6: I mean, it has to be talent, fans, people that 512 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 6: run the show. It has to be everybody. And I 513 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 6: think that that's the best way for us to look 514 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 6: at it, is that even if you know, even if 515 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 6: you're not actually an athlete, there's still a way for 516 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 6: you to contribute and make sure that you know you're 517 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 6: creating a safe space in your area.

How did you get started? 540 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: So I have been drawing since those kids pretty much. 541 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 2: I was like that kid that drew on desks and 542 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 2: got in trouble and drew on literally anything that I 543 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 2: could draw on. So I did that. I kept doing it. 544 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 2: I did it through high school. I like I was like, 545 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: screw it, I'm just going to go to college for it, 546 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 2: and then I got my bf FA and painting and drawing, 547 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 2: and you know, I feel like my inspiration originally came 548 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: from like cartoons and stuff like that. Like I was 549 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: like super into like Sailor Moon and anime and stuff 550 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: like that. So that was kind of like the early inspiration. 551 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 2: Then as I just got older, I stayed on top 552 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: of it because I was like, I'm good at it 553 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 2: as well kind of figure out how to do it. 554 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 2: But I feel like I started getting more involved in 555 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 2: drawing wrestling, like as my interest change as I got 556 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: into college, because I was taking these classes and I 557 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 2: was like super inspired by like like baroque paintings and 558 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 2: like things like that, and I was like, wrestling is 559 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 2: kind of this dramatic Like I was like art wrestling 560 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: both very dramatic.
