A 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: lot of woods, a lot of oh yeah, yeah yeah. 21 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: Comedy in the Woods was the name of the show 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: you did. 23 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 3: I mean, it was like a corporate event, and they 24 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: were like people. They treated like Iraq. They were like, hey, 25 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: thanks just for coming out here, man, we really appreciate you. 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 3: Just coming out here really means a lot that you 27 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 3: were willing to come all the. 28 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: Way out here. Can I ask a comedy insider question 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: and you can say, I'm not answering that a few 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: to them? Of course, do the corporate gigs pay better 31 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: than the comedy clubs or do the comedy clubs pay better? 32 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: No, corporates pay the best. Corporate and colleges but college 33 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 3: I don't even know if colleges do comedy anymore, but 34 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 3: colleges and corporates. 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: Colleges are angry at comedy, and they're used to love comedy, 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: but now they're very angry at comedy. 37 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: It's weird too, because these college kids have Netflix. They'll 38 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: listen to all the edgiest comedians, but if one comes 39 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: to their campus, they're like, can you believe what he said? 40 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: It was all bad and terrible and sexist and racist, 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: you know, But like they'll watch like Pete Davidson or 42 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: I'll watch like, you know, celebrities on Netflix do stand 43 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 3: up comedy, and they have no problem with it. It's 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: very confusing. 45 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: You said it best, and Jimmy Carr has said it best. 46 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: Your version was I'm sorry the way I tried to 47 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: make you happy didn't work, which I love. It's just 48 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: so simple, and Jimmy' says, oh, I'm sorry, And then 49 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: when they go you didn't mean that, he goes, oh, 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: so you acknowledge I can say things I don't necessarily mean. 51 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: I like that, and I think those are the two 52 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: They're very opposite end of the spectrums, but they're the 53 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: two best ways to defend comedy, which shouldn't need to 54 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: be defended. Neither of these philosophies should have to exist. 55 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like the way you tried to make 56 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 3: me happy, That's what they say to me. 57 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's the joke. 58 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: But it's also like I always think about it, like 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: on Instagram, someone like I'll post like a video of 60 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: my stand up, or yeah, I think this goes for everybody, 61 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: not just me. You'll post something on Instagram. 62 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: You know. 63 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: It's like, I'm Freddie Brunce Jr. Here's you know, the 64 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: thing I'm doing. And then if someone talks trash you're like, dude, 65 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: I'm sorry that you're not enjoying my free content. 66 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: And I'll always get a couple of people that I'll 67 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: just be like, you look old, Stay off Instagram. It's 68 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: like show bro, take it easy, dude. 69 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: I didn't sell it to you, and it's not like 70 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 3: it's not like you paid one hundred dollars something. You're 71 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: disappointed with. 72 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: The product, Like, Bro, it's a miniature figurine that I painted. 73 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: Take it easy, dude. 74 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: Great, exactly. 75 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk some wrestling. There wasn't a ton 76 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: that happened this week, but there are things that are 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: worthy of conversation. The first and probably most important is 78 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the now defined Triple H era in wrestling. It and 79 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: it's beginning. I think you and I have and other 80 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: podcasts have have spoken about how it's been sort of 81 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: the Triple H era for for quite some time now, 82 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: and every once in a while, Vince would kind of 83 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: come in and try to undo everything in one episode 84 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: a raw that nobody would like, and everybody go why 85 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: that episode sucked, And then as like news comes out 86 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: that he was, you know, still being involved once in 87 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: a while. That sort of confirms those beliefs. You can 88 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: kind of tell on commentary when Michael Coles loose versus 89 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: when he's tight. Go ahead, real quick. 90 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: You know, the recently grumpy and bittered Ronda Rousi claims 91 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: that as long as Bruce Pictures is still in WWE, 92 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: that means Vince will always be in it. So she 93 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: was alleging that Vince is still giving stories and ideas 94 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: and things to Bruce, and Bruce will be pitching them 95 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: in during this triple H era. That's what she was alleging. 96 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: So what do you say to that. 97 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: Well, I have no idea. I mean, you can allege anything. 98 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: I could allege. Holly Holm, you know, was a better 99 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: fighter than she was. But I'm not a fact jack. 100 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to but you know she can. I 101 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: think maybe she had a book or something and maybe 102 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: that's why she was, you know, saying controversial things. Maybe 103 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: she's trying to sell something, or maybe she just doesn't 104 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: like wrestling and wants to, you know, do damage to 105 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: the business and she feels it's done damage to her. 106 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: Maybe I have no idea. 107 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: No what I'm saying, Like she's saying that Bruce Pritchard 108 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 3: will forever be that link as long as Vince is alive, 109 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: he'll be able to. 110 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: Even if that's true. Triple H is a really sharp guy, 111 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: and if he doesn't like the idea, it's not gonna 112 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: make it to TV. And I think you can see 113 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: that with the type of storytelling he's done. Everything has 114 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: felt very much down down the Triple H pipe and 115 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,119 Speaker 1: not so much down the Vince McMahon eighties and nineties pipe. 116 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: It's been much or really just eighties. It's felt very 117 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: different for months before WrestleMania, and hopefully we'll continue that 118 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: way because I've really enjoyed it. They've had a couple misses, 119 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: but so has a dubs sure, and you know, it's 120 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: the curse of live television. It's either going to go 121 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: really well or it's going to die very rarely. Do 122 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: you go, eh, well, let's talk about it. Triple H 123 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: came out, he think the audience. He did his wrestler 124 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: guy voice. His wrestler guy voice is so much cooler 125 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: because he sounds tough like this. Normally he's like, hey, 126 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: how you doing, and he's like, says this super nice 127 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: guy voice, but he does the tough guy voice. He 128 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: introduces Cody Rhodes and Cody Rhodes is now the new 129 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: face of the franchise, the face of the video game, 130 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: the face of the new era. And they played a 131 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: really nice video package for Cody that kind of showed 132 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: his history in the company, and they even showed a 133 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: little bit of Japan. They didn't show that he helped 134 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: create aew, they didn't show any of that. They still 135 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: won't acknowledge them, but they did acknowledge Japan in one clip, 136 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: I think, and I thought it was really nice and 137 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: sweet and charming, and I thought Cody cut a really 138 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: smart promo, not his best promo, but a very smart promo, 139 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: and you got a taste of what you're going to get. 140 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: But I'll say this, there's no story here, and there 141 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't be. They haven't had time to start a new 142 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: story yet, So I think we need to give them 143 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: time and trust them since they did this last year 144 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: and built it up for a year and in one 145 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: case a two year, your story to now allow these 146 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: new storylines to develop that I'm sure they've been working on. 147 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: If this is in fact the Triple H era, what 148 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: about you? Did you You're not the biggest Cody Rhodes guy. 149 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: I get the feeling did you Are you liking him 150 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: as Champ? Are you not buying it? 151 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: I don't know what my problem is with Cody Rhodes. 152 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: I've just I feel like I pick a guy that 153 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: I like and then I just like them forever, and 154 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: then the guys that don't really grab my attention that 155 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 3: much is very hard to win me over. But yeah, 156 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: Cody's fine. I'm like it right in the middle on him, 157 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 3: He's good. I like it. I you know, somebody had 158 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: to beat Roman eventually, and this is the guy they picked. 159 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: I will say this, speaking about the era thing, this 160 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: Triple H era, Gosh, they can't shut up about it. 161 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: Uh, there's a lot of it. There's a lot of 162 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: talk of trying to redefine the company. I liked it 163 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: more when it was more organic and we were just 164 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: seeing it. Yes, I like it more when we say 165 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: it than when they say it. 166 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like because they keep saying it. It's 167 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: in the press conference, they're saying it. It's in the 168 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: opening of raw they're saying it. It's like, we really 169 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: get it. You know, there's a different era here. Do 170 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: you think that in the past we even discussed the 171 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 3: era that we were in. 172 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: No that's what I was I was trying to elude 173 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show, as we talked about 174 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: his influence and how strong it was and how much 175 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: more we were enjoying the stories months ago, long before 176 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: it was it was defined as it. But I guess, like, 177 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: once Stephanie says it, then that's when it Yah, So 178 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: it happened. It was It started on Saturday according to WWE, 179 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: even though it started before that. But they do change 180 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: a lot of facts in their documentaries. I was a 181 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: part of a few of them. They don't always get 182 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: the right people. But yeah, so she said it on Saturday, 183 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: So I guess that was the beginning, and we'll judge 184 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: him from here. I thought we should have judged him 185 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: from Bloodline forward for the last two years, because that 186 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: was his story and that creative team story, not just 187 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: not all credit goes to Hunters. They have writers working 188 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: on that stuff NonStop. But yeah, man, I think it's 189 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna be good. Like we've already been saying, this is 190 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: a renaissance for wrestling, a rebirth of wrestling. So wrestling's 191 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: already been good and I'm cool to everyone's talking about 192 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: the new era, and I guess we're supposed to talk 193 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: about it, but I feel like we talk about it 194 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: every week because we were already down with it, were already, 195 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: we already liked it. 196 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 3: I just wonder, do we have this change in of 197 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: the era if the Vince McMahon scandal doesn't happened, you know, 198 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: oh yeah, well that was the end of a chapter. 199 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: Are they really just saying Vince is gone? I mean, 200 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 3: you can call it an era all you want, but 201 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: it feels like they're really just saying, hey, things are 202 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: they're going to I mean inevitably going to be different, 203 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 3: which is exciting for fans. 204 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there are one hundred percent saying that 205 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: by just saying it's it's a new era. But I 206 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: think that's how all eras kind of begin and end 207 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: is some there has to be some vanquishing of the 208 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: old guard in order for the new guard to move in. 209 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: It's the same in like the fight game. The same 210 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: in basketball when the young team isn't quite ready yet 211 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: and get held down and the refs aren't given them 212 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: the call because they're the stars, and then eventually they're 213 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 1: the stars and they're getting the calls. You know, it's 214 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: the same in wrestling where you look at the guys 215 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: that are going to be a champion. Cody was a 216 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: homegrown guy. He came up in WWE. He left, but 217 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: he came up during WWE. And they're always going to 218 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: take better care of their homegrown guys, then they're going 219 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: to take care of the outside guys, right like we saw. 220 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: La Knight is a self made man. He is self made. 221 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: WWE did not make La Knight. La Knight made La Knight. 222 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: He made himself, so there was no chance he was 223 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: going to beat Roman Reigns for the championship. WWE will 224 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: claim credit for making Cody. I feel like Cody made 225 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: himself outside of WWE. I think a lot of people 226 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: would agree with that. But he is a face that 227 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: they can say he's one of ours, one of our guys, 228 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: like Roman was homegrown, one of ours. I think that's 229 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 1: what and I think it's subconscious, but I think that's 230 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: why AJ Styles and La Knight didn't get the story 231 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: that the other all the other characters got because all 232 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: the other characters were homegrown guys and those two are not, 233 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: and and they got less attention. It felt like they 234 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: rocked their match. I thought their match was awesome, but 235 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: I just didn't care about their reason why because it 236 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: was just one dude buying a plane ticket to Australia 237 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: to wreckon other dude's match, and then for the rest 238 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: of that story, the dude who bought the ticket and 239 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: wreck the match is the victim because the good guys 240 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: doing a home invasion. Basically, oh, and this kid is 241 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: in it like it was just a weird It didn't. 242 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: It didn't feel like it got the tender love and 243 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: care that the other stories got. And those dudes I 244 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: felt deserved deserved a better a better reason why. But 245 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. 246 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: I will say it's a lot easier to push a 247 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 3: guy who's been in the in wrestling forever, you know 248 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like, yeah, from footage of these guys, 249 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: you know, running around as kids. 250 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean, but it's not their footage, right, And WW 251 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: has this weird thing where it's like if they don't 252 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: own it, if they can't control it, it doesn't exist. 253 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: I don't and I don't know why they insist on it, 254 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: but and I could be wrong. I'm just saying it 255 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: feels that way. It feels like that's why the guys 256 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: that and the girls that aren't homegrown talent don't get 257 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: the same love. They just don't get the same love. 258 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: Does you feel that or a theory? Shit? 259 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: No, I agree with that one hundred percent. It does 260 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: feel like that. But it's like if you imagine being 261 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: a guy like La Night though he's going I one 262 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: of my sorry that my dad didn't wrestle who, my 263 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: grandpa didn't wrestle who, my mom didn't book and my 264 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 3: aunt wasn't involved in. Sorry, I wasn't at a wrestling school, 265 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: like when instead of daycare. You know, it's like you 266 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 3: can't really do much when you just have a wrestling 267 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 3: dream and then these guys are just like in it. 268 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: You know, if I'd have told my dad I wanted 269 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: to be a pro wrestler, to be like, what the 270 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: hell's wrong with you? 271 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: What do you? 272 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 3: Some sort of mental idiot? You know, but like the 273 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 3: you know, if Cody Rhoades tells us dad, I want 274 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: to be a pro wrestled and it'd be like, yeah, Jack, 275 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: we got you. You're gonna be cool, you know, like yeah, 276 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 3: they'll make it happen, you know. So it's just I 277 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 3: don't know. 278 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: No, that's exactly what I'm saying though, It's just it's 279 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: it's weird. I don't know how we got on that. 280 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: It's my fault that we got sidetrek, but but yeah, 281 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: it just felt weird, and it's been it's been stuck 282 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: in my it's been like stuck in my head since 283 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: since I watched the match as to why I didn't 284 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: like it, and it was because of the story. And 285 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, why didn't I like the story? And 286 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: it just it felt like they didn't give it the 287 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: same kind of care and they could have. La Knight 288 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: is a frigging star and aj Styles is a walking, talking, 289 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: living legend and they just deserve Anyway, let's talk some SmackDown, 290 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: because a lot more happened on SmackDown. Paul Hayman, the Man, 291 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer, with Sola Sokoa and Jimmy Usso 292 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: they came out, they discussed WrestleMania. Roman Reigns wasn't trying 293 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: to blame anyone. He was taking full accountability bloodline loss 294 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: straight up. And then uh, there's a little confrontation backstage 295 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: and some talk of consequences. There's gotta be consequences for 296 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: this loss. They're not able to get into the champs 297 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: locker room now because they're not the champs anymore. It 298 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: hurts and you can see Soeca's egos really pissed off. 299 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: Later in the show, Tomatonga makes his debut. So Big 300 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: Tomatanga the adopted son of Haku. We all know and 301 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: love Haku. He's the friggin man. If you watch Dark 302 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: Side of the Ring, he was super funny. On episode Lately, 303 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Tomatonga made his debut and there were consequences. They beat 304 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: the hell out of Jimmy Usso. They beat his ass 305 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: and put a chair around his neck and smashed him 306 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: in the corner. And I'm assuming this is the end 307 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: of Jimmy's involvement with the Bloodline. I don't know where 308 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: he could go from here. They can't damage the character 309 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: and make him beg for his spot back because that 310 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: weakens the Jimmy character, who's already lost the WrestleMania match. 311 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: So I think it means he's going to team back 312 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: up with Jay and there can be a Tomatonga solo 313 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: so CoA versus the USOS who have reunited. Jeff, what 314 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: do you think about that? 315 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: I think that this will go on my long campaign 316 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 3: of stop having the Bloodline fight inside themselves. I keep 317 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: saying it every week, but it's like, why does this 318 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: storyline have to be so civil war. Let's have some 319 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: real wars. I'm tired of the civil war between the Bloodline. 320 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 3: It is cool to see a new member. I was 321 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: doing my little nerd research when he came out and 322 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 3: was like, everyone was going, Oh, when he comes over, 323 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: they'll probably put him in NXT. They'll probably make this 324 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: guy have to like, you know, cut his teeth a 325 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: little bit before he just you know, he's not just 326 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 3: going to be right in the bloodline right away, the 327 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: Tomatonga guy. But then no, he's he's in it. He's 328 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: right in the Bloodline, which I love. So I thought 329 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: that was cool. 330 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: The Roman reign's reaction will be interesting because then we'll 331 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: know is he in it or did Solo kind of 332 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: go off and do his own thing. You've made this 333 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: point before about the infighting that's going on, and I 334 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: think there's something to that. Man. As long as there's infighting, 335 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: they can't be dominant, and when they were dominant, the 336 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: story was really really good. So there's no reason that 337 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: their story needs to be done with Cody, but it 338 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: is done. So who's next for the Bloodline? That's the thing, 339 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: And I guess I go back to what I say earlier. 340 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: We have to give them time to come up with 341 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: a new story. 342 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, and I hope that they do something cool 343 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 3: with it. 344 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: I feel like the Bloodline should get a hall pass 345 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: and get to skip school and not go to wrestling school, 346 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: like they should be beyond that. So I hope they 347 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: don't nxt any of the Bloodline and that should be 348 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: a part of their story anyway. Like when guys go 349 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: back and wrestles like yo, it gives them something to 350 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: be a heel about, like yo, I'm better than you. 351 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: Deal with that, like you're a scrub and I'm on 352 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: the main show. I want to move to Wednesday night. 353 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: We're going back in time. We're going to aew Dynamite. 354 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: Dynamite is not had the strongest of shows lately. This 355 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: was not the strongest show either. However, Will Osprey came in. 356 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: We love Will Osprey, or at least I do. I 357 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: know Jeff does too. 358 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's great. I mean, how could you not love him? 359 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 3: The kid, he's a star. 360 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: Well, WW didn't love him enough and he went to 361 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: AEW and he addressed in his promo this quote that 362 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: hunt that Triple H had had made on I don't 363 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: know what ESPN, probably some sports network thing about if 364 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: you're not up for the grind of the WWE, we 365 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: don't want you. And he addressed the grind in his 366 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: will Osprey way, coming off like Tom Hardy and Venom, 367 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: but using his real accent and steady of the American one, 368 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: just coming off awesome, cool, smooth. 369 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 3: Took a dig, took a dig at Triple H. 370 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: But he does it in this dignified way where he says, 371 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: here's a painful jab, just to let you know I 372 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: heard what you said, and now you can hear what 373 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: I said too. He did instigated, he responded to it, 374 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: and I'm fine with people having any sort of response 375 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: they want when they've been attacked or they feel they've 376 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: been attacked, right. 377 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 3: But also, don't you think that Paul or sorry Triple H. 378 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 3: His little jab wasn't at will Ospray as much as 379 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 3: it was at ae W A E W will No. 380 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 3: AW is a lighter workload, it really is, but it 381 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 3: was why they're over there. 382 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: I think it was directly focused at will Osprey one 383 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: hundred percent because he had negotiated with them and he 384 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: turned them down because they offered him an NXT contract 385 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: and so he's like, nah, dude, I in't about that man, 386 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: Like you're not paying me seventy thousand for me to 387 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: do my shit, Like my stuff's worth more than that. Yeah, 388 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: And he can make millions at AW. And so that's 389 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: why the jab was made because he because Will had 390 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, his love for a why he 391 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: chose AW in an interview, and so that's when the 392 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: little you can't handle the grind. So I loved his comeback. 393 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 3: I love it too. 394 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome, and I think comebacks are 395 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: allowed and all bets are off when somebody's gone in 396 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: on you. And I really do think it was directed right. 397 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 3: But I don't disagree with Triple Ah. You know, when 398 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 3: when talk to any of these old dogs who went 399 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 3: over to WCW, you know, rest in peace, Scott Hall, 400 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: but like talk to Kevin Nash, talked to Alex Luger, 401 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: talked to Brett Hart, they were like, we're gonna get 402 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: more money and we don't have to travel as much 403 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 3: and we get to you know, we don't have to 404 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 3: work as as often. That's better for our bodies, it's 405 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 3: better for our families, it's better for our wallets. All 406 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: of that's true. But yes, it's a lighter workload, like 407 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: it is just one hundred percent. In fact, they brag 408 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: that it's a lighter workload. I think that, you know, 409 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 3: he's saying, oh, yeah, he wants the lighter workload. That's 410 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: his dig. But it is also like, yeah, all you 411 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: aew guys have a lighter workload than what the machine 412 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 3: is doing over at we. 413 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: By the way. Pretty soon, ww, he's going to have 414 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: a lighter workload because TKO's taking away a lot of 415 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: the live event. The house shows that they do, so 416 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: even his guys are going to So that's another reason 417 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: why I support Will and this as far as these 418 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: two characters going back and forth, and I do think 419 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: it's character work. Everything that said publicly is a work. 420 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: He's doing that dig on purpose in character, and I 421 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: think Ausprey is smart enough to know that. So all 422 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: none of this is real, it's all Ever. 423 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 3: Renee sold it good too, you see. 424 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: She's amazing though, like she sells for everybody. Renee is awesome. 425 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: She's the best announcer in the biz. She sells for everyone. 426 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,239 Speaker 1: She's also made I think the other talent around her 427 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: better as far as the other announcers like, they engage more, 428 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: they have more of a reaction to things. But I 429 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: freaking love Renee. She's a good and I love that 430 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: she did the ww Show with me, the Rival Show 431 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: as a as a panelist and then left inside of 432 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: the aw and they still had to air those episodes. 433 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: I think she's so good too, because guys like me 434 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 3: are always going is this real? Was that real? Did this? 435 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 3: Was that a work? Or is this real? Like I'm 436 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 3: always wondering and hoping that things are real, even though 437 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 3: most of them are, and Renee is really good at 438 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 3: making me think things are real. I'm like, oh, look 439 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 3: at her face, dude, She's so uncomfortable because this is real. 440 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: It's like Renee cells like a mother. 441 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: Speaking of uncomfortable, they chose to air the cmpunk Oh yeah, 442 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: and Jack Perry close caption footage. 443 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 3: Cringey as hell, so cringey. 444 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: Like Adam Copeland took care of it. He cut a 445 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: promo the week before and said, look, man, wrestling's awesome. 446 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: This is nonsense. People are shitting on people that don't 447 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: need to be shipped on. We all have jobs be quiet, 448 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: like just chill. And that was good. That's all we needed. 449 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: It didn't need to go this far. And I I'll 450 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: give him this, and I'm not even giving him this. 451 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: They at least tried to wrap a story around it, 452 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: but it didn't work. It didn't work at all, and 453 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: it came off so uncool, and I hate that. I 454 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: hate that because I want I don't want any wrestling 455 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: getting made fun of, and I don't want wrestling looking 456 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: looking bad. And that was like five minutes a time 457 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: that someone else could have got over, Like you could 458 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: have given someone a match, and in five minutes it's 459 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 1: more of a squash, but you could have made somebody 460 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: look great in that moment, you know what I mean, 461 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: Like Wardlow could have gone out there and killed somebody, 462 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: And so I just thought it was a wasted opportunity 463 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: and a big swing and a miss. But they took 464 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: a swing, you know what I mean. 465 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to capitalize on that backstage footage, well, 466 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: because you know, like when a real little scrape happens 467 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 3: like that backstage, which we saw like once we see 468 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 3: in the footage, it doesn't look nearly as dramatic as 469 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: what they show us every week as scripted backstage conflicts, 470 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: So visually it's just not as stimulating because we're going, ah, 471 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 3: that's it. It was nothing. It looked like absolutely nothing, 472 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 3: and especially like nothing compared to what wrestling depicts every 473 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 3: single week. So it was cringey that they were like 474 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 3: trying to, you know, make this this weird storyline. It 475 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 3: was cringey that they even wanted to air it. If 476 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 3: you want to capitalize on that kind of stuff, be like, look, 477 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 3: real has entered the building of wrestling, then you got 478 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 3: to do that the same way, same week. See them 479 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: punk is there When we were all gossiping, like, let's 480 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 3: see what happened back there, I heard that he really 481 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 3: hit somebody, Like you've got to capitalize on it. Then 482 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 3: if you're. 483 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's here, you are crazy. 484 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 3: And it's like, seem must just be at home going 485 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: what like why would they even do this? Like it 486 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 3: just makes them look desperate. 487 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: You know who's sitting at home is Jack Perry because 488 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: all his gears sold out. Yeah, I heard that he's 489 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: sitting at home going, thank you very much.

But I didn't think 512 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: anybody got over with this.

I didn't think, well, I was wrong. 516 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: I didn't think Jack Perry would get over, but he 517 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: got over like a mug sold out anything. I didn't 518 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: think it made seampunk look good. I didn't think it 519 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: makes anybody look good except Samoa Joe, who broke it up. 520 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: He's the only guy that came out looking like a professional. 521 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the whole thing was pretty bad. The last 522 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: time I checked, it had more dislikes on YouTube than likes. 523 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: I didn't even know they still did discy more people's Yeah, 524 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: more people thumbs down. 525 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 3: To it than like to me. 526 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: Check. Well, I'm glad they still have the dislike thing 527 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: and didn't get rid of that. I thought I've heard 528 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: they were getting rid of that because it like hurt 529 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: people's feelings, And I was like, oh my gosh, man, like, 530 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: let people have their feelings hurt when they're young, working 531 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: life out so when they're older they can deal with 532 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: how rough life really is. It's so much harder than 533 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: a like or a dislike the But yeah, man, at 534 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I really thought they shouldn't 535 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: have a veririted it. That was, like I said, it 536 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: was five to seven minutes where you could have had 537 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: a good match. I wonder if they regret what your 538 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: company's all about. 539 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 3: I wonder if they regret putting it up. 540 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just one Does one person regret it? 541 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: Does Tony con regredit because he's the one making these 542 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: final decisions, He's the one running everything, or at least 543 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: that's how it's presented. So I just feel like I 544 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: wish he had someone there that he respected, right he 545 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: had he would have to respect them, who could check 546 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: some of those decisions before their decisions and say, well, 547 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: hold on, let's think about how this, how this looks 548 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: outside of what we're going through right now, and if 549 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't benefit the business, maybe let's not do that. 550 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: And then he could take a moment and be like, yeah, 551 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: I think you're right, let's let's not do that. But 552 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if that person is there to protect 553 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: him he's got If he's literally doing everything, that's too 554 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: much and he needs somebody there to help get his 555 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: back on something, whether it's creative, whether it's social media, 556 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: something he can't. He can't be the boss of everything. Man, 557 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: it'll eventually cause you to suffer. We asked the audience 558 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: each week to leave us reviews and we'll pick some 559 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: of the best ones and we'll read them live on 560 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: the show.

If they are, they got me. 566 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 3: It'll be a big swerve. 567 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: It says, good luck, Freddy.
