Speaker 1: cannot move my neck. It has been ongoing since I
Speaker 1: got home from Nashville this past weekend, which was a
Speaker 1: great weekend, by the way, shout out to Chad and
Speaker 1: Music City, Toys and Collectibles. What a fun, fun weekend.
Speaker 1: It was myself and Shane Douglas and the Sandman and
Speaker 1: we did we did a virtual together that Friday, which
Speaker 1: got a little out of hand. It was a little loud,
Speaker 1: a little crazy, but that's what you should expect when
Speaker 1: the three of us get together. We did an in
Speaker 1: store Saturday afternoon. I met a lot of good people
Speaker 1: from Twitter that came by to say hello, and then
Speaker 1: we went to the Tracy Smothers show at nighttime. And
Speaker 1: so when we got to by the time we got
Speaker 1: to the Tracy show, it was about four o'clock in
Speaker 1: the afternoon and I sat to start signing, I started
Speaker 1: getting this weird feeling in my neck out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: It just boom, pulling, pulling, pulling, and the pain was
Speaker 1: it starts at like my hairline and it goes down
Speaker 1: into my shoulder. And I kept saying, I can't move
Speaker 1: my neck. So Shane jumps up. It gives me this
Speaker 1: little massage. Is that better or no? But thanks Hack.
Speaker 1: Sandman kept saying, you need cold, you need cold, so
Speaker 1: he it was so cute. He runs to the concession stands,
Speaker 1: he buys me a Coca cola and puts it on
Speaker 1: my neck. So I'm sitting there with a bottle on
Speaker 1: my neck. But uh, I just I get this twinge,
Speaker 1: this pain, and it's hard to it's hard to turn.
Speaker 1: So the first couple of days I did cold and
Speaker 1: now I'm doing heating pad like an old friggin lady.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there with a heating pad on and I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but I did something to it. I tweaked it somehow.
Speaker 1: Was it the plane? It was the plane uncomfortable? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know because I flew on that Friday and
Speaker 1: I was fine until Saturday at around four when, like
Speaker 1: I said, when I sat down to sign autographs. You know,
Speaker 1: it was just it was one of those things, like
Speaker 1: I know. Jerry called me this week, Jerry Lynn, and
Speaker 1: I was telling him and he said, oh, he goes.
Speaker 1: I pulled something trying on a pair of jeans, and
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I guess we're at that age where
Speaker 1: any little movement we do we could boom, something could
Speaker 1: pop or break or pull, you know. So it was
Speaker 1: it's been a week for me telling me maybe the
Speaker 1: finger pressure on the marker or the pen and then
Speaker 1: no what it was. But I mean besides that, we
Speaker 1: we we were saying, like to Shane and I were
Speaker 1: texting this morning and he said, I have never laughed
Speaker 1: so hard in my life. We were up until one
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, and instead of like the old
Speaker 1: ECW you would see people like either do a drugugs
Speaker 1: or drinking or banging rats or whatever they did. Next
Speaker 1: time it was myself, Shane and Hack talking about our kids,
Speaker 1: you know, our home life, our aches and pains, what
Speaker 1: we do on our off time. It was like I said,
Speaker 1: would you imagine like twenty years later, the three of
Speaker 1: us would be sitting here discussing like adult things, Like
Speaker 1: you know, nobody was drinking, nobody was doing drugs, nobody
Speaker 1: was being obnoxious or it was very monotone because you know,
Speaker 1: it was very late and we were just sitting there
Speaker 1: and we were just discussing life and it was so fun.
Speaker 1: It was so fun. That's awesome. Now you guys look
Speaker 1: like you're having a ball. I checked in on the
Speaker 1: virtual It was a lot of fun. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a ton of fun. And you know, I
Speaker 1: say it all the time. I don't get to see
Speaker 1: these guys often enough, but when I do, I mean,
Speaker 1: my bedtime's usually nine o'clock. But I you know, I
Speaker 1: was up till one thirty two o'clock hanging out and
Speaker 1: it was worth it because it was it was just
Speaker 1: a lot of fun and I missed those guys, you know,
Speaker 1: So it was it was a great weekend, and I
Speaker 1: think Chad was happy. And you know, hopefully next year
Speaker 1: we can do a lot more stuff together as a group. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. It's my fifteen fabulous tour next.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. Well, what did you think of
Speaker 1: Chad's store? You finally got a chance to see it.
Speaker 1: I see it in the summer. But how did you
Speaker 1: What did you think? I think it's a great set up.
Speaker 1: You know, I think Chad there was a little heat.
Speaker 1: He got mad at me because right there's there's two
Speaker 1: aisles in the store. If you recall, in the middle
Speaker 1: aisle there's a you know, all the stuff that he sells,
Speaker 1: there's uh, the two rows or whatever. Right in the
Speaker 1: in the front, he had a teenage mutant Ninja turtles
Speaker 1: set up like the big plastic dog. I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're. N't get mad at me collectors because I
Speaker 1: don't know what. They're action figures, but they're not. Actually,
Speaker 1: there were big fat toys, right, it's fully posable toys, okay.
Speaker 1: And they're all set up, the four of them they're
Speaker 1: in there. They're set up real nicely. And I moved
Speaker 1: one of our fans over in front of the display,
Speaker 1: and when I went to put my arm around them,
Speaker 1: I knocked down the turtles. The turtles went down Chad space.
Speaker 1: He looked like it was gonna kill me, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm so sorry. He's like, you're a hazard.
Speaker 1: Get out of here. I like, I'm like a bull
Speaker 1: in a China shop, Like I'm I'm walking, I'm touching
Speaker 1: things and are falling. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't touch anything anymore. But you know, but I
Speaker 1: liked I thought the store was nice. You know, it
Speaker 1: was nice. It's cool. I love those kinds of things.
Speaker 1: I wish there was more out there, but he's got
Speaker 1: a great set up there in Watertown, Tennessee. Did you
Speaker 1: stay at the same hotel I did? Did he mention
Speaker 1: that is it? It was the one that was a
Speaker 1: year old. Yeah, like the Loft or something like that
Speaker 1: what it was called. But it was beautiful, right that's
Speaker 1: In't that place amazing? It was beautiful. Yeah, it was relieve.
Speaker 1: Everything looked brand new. It was only a year old
Speaker 1: and it was really really nice. It was a nice setup.
Speaker 1: So yeah, when I checked in, I said to the lady, go,
Speaker 1: oh you guys just open. She goes, no, we've been
Speaker 1: open for like a year. I was like, place looks immaculates.
Speaker 1: It was beautiful, and we we got to go to Charlie's,
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite southern restaurants because we
Speaker 1: don't have them up north, you know. And of course
Speaker 1: I want a pot pie. Oh we don't do pot
Speaker 1: pies anymore. Oh okay, can I get the fried pickles? Now?
Speaker 1: We don't have any pickles? And I was like, really,
Speaker 1: should I just go down the list and you just
Speaker 1: tell me you don't have anything in stock? Because that's fine.
Speaker 1: Fried pickles are a commodity these days, because I know
Speaker 1: two places around here that have run out of them
Speaker 1: over the last few months. Run out of pickles. I
Speaker 1: don't know Charlie's, though, I was just like, you know,
Speaker 1: what you're pissing me off is not the one with
Speaker 1: the cake or something that you talk about the caramel pie,
Speaker 1: which I did not get because of my braces. Oh
Speaker 1: that's that's so good. But I mean we we had
Speaker 1: a nice little family sit down dinner and it was
Speaker 1: it was just a great weekend. It's really fun. Did
Speaker 1: you have somebody else order it so you can enjoy
Speaker 1: it through them? So you could see there, no one
Speaker 1: got deserved because honestly, there were four appetizers at the table,
Speaker 1: so people were filling up on the I think it
Speaker 1: was spinach and caso dip with the chips. There was
Speaker 1: like four of them, and we were just talking and
Speaker 1: as you're talking, you're eating. And then by the time
Speaker 1: our entree came, it was just I was full. I
Speaker 1: couldn't even finish what was on my plate. But it
Speaker 1: was delicious. They do a good dude. I just really
Speaker 1: liked the pot pie and they didn't have it, so
Speaker 1: I was pissed off. How about the wild eyed Southern
Speaker 1: boy Tracy Smothers memorial invitated, What was the deal with
Speaker 1: that that I saw? No, Yeah, there were many people there.
Speaker 1: I mean, we we had you know, we were there.
Speaker 1: I think we were there for two hours. We had
Speaker 1: little drips and drabs of people you know that came
Speaker 1: over for for autographs, Like everybody that was there basically
Speaker 1: came over. But there were not a lot of people
Speaker 1: in attendance. So now people could have came right before
Speaker 1: bell time in droves after you guys all the way,
Speaker 1: but your tail tail lights were in the distance. Yeah, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: from you know what I saw, Like even the DJ
Speaker 1: was like for the six people in the room, put
Speaker 1: your hands over there, and I was just like, really, oh,
Speaker 1: you can't say that. You can't you can't acknowledge the
Speaker 1: elephant in the room several times several times. Yeah, oh boy,
Speaker 1: I mean there were more than six people there, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, thousands of people in attendance. So
Speaker 1: the South is weird when it comes to the kind
Speaker 1: of stuff you know, like people like some some people
Speaker 1: were complaining on uh, if you had to pay ten
Speaker 1: dollars for an autograph. They were complaining about ten dollars
Speaker 1: And I know the cost of living is different in
Speaker 1: the South and stuff, but come on a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it's Chad and I have talked about that before.
Speaker 1: He said the same thing, like the first he goes
Speaker 1: I go here, I gotta charge there. I go here,
Speaker 1: I gotta charge. Yeah, it's like a different level no
Speaker 1: matter where you I said, God, come up north, I said,
Speaker 1: you make a killing. You come up north where you
Speaker 1: charge triple than what you would charge normally for double
Speaker 1: the truth and people pay. It's it's just it's a
Speaker 1: whole different world down there, and I like it, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. And everybody was very, very sweet. But
Speaker 1: when you complain and moan about ten dollars, it's just
Speaker 1: time to just stay home. I don't agree. But a happy,
Speaker 1: happy reunion when you got back, A nice family, welcome
Speaker 1: my kids. Yeah, oh absolutely yeah. This this wasn't as
Speaker 1: bad as the one before. The Rhode Island one was
Speaker 1: a long but this one I left on a Friday
Speaker 1: afternoon and got home Sunday morning, So it wasn't bad
Speaker 1: at all, all right. I like those kind of in
Speaker 1: and out ones, you know what I mean. They're good.
Speaker 1: Well film back, well filmed back. It was a successful,
Speaker 1: successful weekend. I was. I was very happy. It's always
Speaker 1: a pleasure to see Chad. He's I say it all
Speaker 1: the time. He's like one of the best guys I've
Speaker 1: ever worked for. So it's a good time. He's the man.
Speaker 1: The other day he's a good dude, like him, really
Speaker 1: is like him a lot good people. So there's a
Speaker 1: couple of things we talk about today. Would you like
Speaker 1: to hear my Ashley Furniture drama before we do that? Sure?
Speaker 1: Did you see my tweet the other day? I did not, Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't take to the social media waves to express
Speaker 1: my frustration with stuff just because I don't like to bitch.
Speaker 1: You know. I bitched to you, a bitch to people
Speaker 1: I know, but not in public. Okay. Oh, Ashley Furniture
Speaker 1: pushed me over the limit. They I can't even begin
Speaker 1: to express to you how much I regretted having to
Speaker 1: do it, because I really do like Ashley Furniture as
Speaker 1: a furniture store. Do have you ever purchased from Ashley?
Speaker 1: I know I've shopped there. I think there aren't they
Speaker 1: more of the higher end furniture outlets if you were
Speaker 1: to go back and forth between, Yeah, the higher it
Speaker 1: would be on that higher tier. It's got a different style. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: So I love it. I think their stuff is great.
Speaker 1: We've gotten couches, we've gotten the Queen bed, We've got
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff from them. Well, I ordered a
Speaker 1: twin bed for my oldest daughter, and, just like I
Speaker 1: did any other products I've ever purchased from them, went
Speaker 1: on a website. Did the thing, clicked the clicks? Did this?
Speaker 1: Did that? Click the installation? Okay, which I do because
Speaker 1: I'm not a furniture builder. I am just the Chad
Speaker 1: st not a furniture builder. So I clicked the installation.
Speaker 1: I noticed it was a little higher than normal. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was about one hundred and ten dollars for installation.
Speaker 1: I figured inflation, right, I figured it was week to
Speaker 1: week my bed. I had gotten a queen bed seventy
Speaker 1: nine dollars installation. This was one hundred and ten. But
Speaker 1: I didn't really think much of it. Make the order,
Speaker 1: don't really hear anything anticipated or arriving. I know things
Speaker 1: are coming late, especially furniture. Out of the blue, I
Speaker 1: start receiving packages to the house via FedEx, big packages,
Speaker 1: big packages, one big one here, one big one there.
Speaker 1: It turns out the bed was getting shipped to me
Speaker 1: in pieces, in pieces, so I'm like, all right, that's weird.
Speaker 1: I've never seen it like this from Ashley. It always
Speaker 1: gets delivered on a truck. When the gentlemen come, they
Speaker 1: put it together and give them a little tipski and
Speaker 1: then they're on their way. But I had never heard
Speaker 1: anything up getting these pieces, so I got Ashley on
Speaker 1: the horn. Found out apparently they have a service they
Speaker 1: employ for pieces that fall under a certain size. So
Speaker 1: a twin bed fell into this category. Okay. The service
Speaker 1: is called Handy. Have you heard of handy? Okay, Handy
Speaker 1: is now like the top retailer installation. They do it
Speaker 1: for everybody. Walmart, Target Bed, Bed, Beyond Home, deepot lows
Speaker 1: you order something from them, Handy's installing it. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell handy is. I just paid
Speaker 1: for installation. So Friday, when I call Ashley Furniture, they
Speaker 1: tell me your appointment is November twentieth for your handy installation.
Speaker 1: I go, November twentieth, I go, I've been sitting with
Speaker 1: these boxes for five days. I gotta wait two weeks
Speaker 1: for a bed to be made. I go, no, that's unacceptable.
Speaker 1: I need something quick. They get me an appointment two
Speaker 1: days later on a Sunday. Okay, perfect, ready to go,
Speaker 1: Kid's bed, YadA YadA, YadA, mm hmm. An hour before
Speaker 1: the appointment on Sunday at four o'clock. They canceled, very
Speaker 1: very free. They can't. They called and canceled. They send
Speaker 1: you a text. It goes first it went get excited.
Speaker 1: Your handy professional is an hour away. Next minute it
Speaker 1: was your handy professional has to cancel and rescheduled four
Speaker 1: and they give you the date. So we canceled that
Speaker 1: Sunday at four. They moved me to Tuesday at noon.
Speaker 1: Just like that. I have no say in it. I
Speaker 1: can't dictate when it's going to be. They're telling me
Speaker 1: that's that. I go, man, I'm pissed, but okay, tuesdays
Speaker 1: two days away. We can live. Tuesday comes send in
Speaker 1: the basement doing work, all of a sudden, texts, Hey,
Speaker 1: your handy professionals an hour away. Get excited. It literally says,
Speaker 1: get excited, followed by we're starting to inform you your
Speaker 1: handy installation has been canceled and rescheduled for Thursday at
Speaker 1: three o'clock. Oh geez. So I was like, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: now it's time to get jerky call handy right Handy
Speaker 1: has zero zero customer service, zero people answering phones. They
Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck is going on. Oh, so
Speaker 1: this lady is listening to what I said. She's giving
Speaker 1: me the company. You know, we can't do we can't
Speaker 1: reschedule this, you have to go through blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: I said, look, refund me the installation because this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I just want my money back for the installation and
Speaker 1: I will see you guys on Thursday. Right. She goes, Okay, click,
Speaker 1: hangs up, get an email says thank you for canceling
Speaker 1: your appointment on Thursday. So she's figuring if you're not
Speaker 1: going to pay for installation, they're not going to do it. Correct. Okay,
Speaker 1: So that obviously sent me off. You were trying to
Speaker 1: get free Oh I was trying to get the freebie
Speaker 1: of the installation because of the free installation technically for reschedulings. Right,
Speaker 1: So I took to the Twitter waves. I wrote, ask
Speaker 1: your furniture, your awful new relationship with Handy is a
Speaker 1: terrible reflection on your company. Two last minute cancelation reps
Speaker 1: that hang up very bad. Look, you guys talk in circles.
Speaker 1: Do nothing to help the situation you cost. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: that's so they're right back. They're talking to me in
Speaker 1: the DMS. Well throughout this process, I get in touch
Speaker 1: with an escalations lead, big name at Ashley, who takes
Speaker 1: her three days to get a hold of somebody at Handy. Okay,
Speaker 1: the refund never went through. They just yeah, I trust me,
Speaker 1: I need a handy. By the time this is all over,
Speaker 1: I'm very stressed. But this lady never refunded the purchase.
Speaker 1: She just canceled the appointment. She never refunded shit. So
Speaker 1: she just hung up on me and canceled it because
Speaker 1: she was mad. So they still charged you one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten for the installation across the bed. And when
Speaker 1: Ashley did there, we apologize for your inconvenience. We'll give
Speaker 1: you something back. They gave me ten percent off my purchase.
Speaker 1: It's twenty nine dollars. So what do you so? Who's
Speaker 1: putting your bed together? So, because the Chads is persistent
Speaker 1: with his bitching and complaining, there was a man here
Speaker 1: at my house last night at six thirty pm installing
Speaker 1: this bed. Turns out he's a contractor. So Handy is
Speaker 1: just a service that sits in a call center and
Speaker 1: has a rolodex of handymen in your area that they
Speaker 1: call when they need you to do something. So they
Speaker 1: called this nice guy that lived very close to me.
Speaker 1: So did you pay for him to come? I mean
Speaker 1: I was told so Handy eventually got in touch with me.
Speaker 1: A rep from them said, they're giving me a physical
Speaker 1: check of the refund for the installation and it was
Speaker 1: brought to me on their dime. Oh their guy. So
Speaker 1: I did get it in the end, it just took
Speaker 1: a long time. Monday Tuesday once it took four and
Speaker 1: a half days to get this done. But still I
Speaker 1: had the bed for eight nine days in boxes that
Speaker 1: I said. Look, I go, I don't work for Ashley.
Speaker 1: I know your inner workings. I go. If I'm clicking
Speaker 1: the installation box, I think it's coming the same way
Speaker 1: every purchase has ever come from Ashley, just on the
Speaker 1: truck and dropped off of my house and built. Not
Speaker 1: it's coming in FedEx here. Ups, it's this, it's that.
Speaker 1: So word to the wise, if you purchase from Ashley Furniture,
Speaker 1: make sure you're getting something that ain't installed my handy,
Speaker 1: because yeah, well, I mean the bright side is you
Speaker 1: saved one hundred and ten dollars, you got free installation. Yes,
Speaker 1: I well, by the end of it before they they went,
Speaker 1: and they did schedule this guy on very short notice.
Speaker 1: I mean call me at six o'clock. We were at Walmart.
Speaker 1: I had to run back home. Yeah. I was trying
Speaker 1: to get the bed for free at the last Yah.
Speaker 1: Well you got twenty nine dollars off. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, if they didn't take care of
Speaker 1: it yesterday, I was like, nope, I want the bed
Speaker 1: for free and I want it installed and I want
Speaker 1: it done now. And I was way getting pissed and yeah,
Speaker 1: and then today this morning, they offered me another twenty
Speaker 1: percent off my next purchase. They find a way to
Speaker 1: keep you coming, right. Yeah, Well, we wanted to get
Speaker 1: a second bed because we wanted the girls to have
Speaker 1: matching beds. So we wanted to try it first, see
Speaker 1: what it looked like. And we love it, and I
Speaker 1: have I want to get the one for the little one.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to go through this shit again.
Speaker 1: So the handyman lives very close to me. Nice guy,
Speaker 1: I might just call him directly. Sure, Yeah, I understand. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you had to go through that. That's uh,
Speaker 1: that's not fun. I don't I just don't like bitching publicly.
Speaker 1: I know people do it and it does get a
Speaker 1: response because they do DM you rather quick because they
Speaker 1: don't want bad press, right. I just hate doing it.
Speaker 1: People wrestlers do it all the time. For on the airlines.
Speaker 1: I notice with airlines they're always tweeting a Delta or
Speaker 1: you know, Southwest or whatever the company is, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I've been on the layover for five hours and now
Speaker 1: I'm stuck for two days and you didn't give me
Speaker 1: a hotel and blah blah blah, oh please DM US. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually like I saw DDP do one of those
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. I Sean Waltman do one. He
Speaker 1: literally was canceled as he sat there at the airport
Speaker 1: and they told him, yeah, we won't have anything like
Speaker 1: for you in two days or something. Oh shit, and
Speaker 1: they didn't offer him a hotel. I'm pretty sure it
Speaker 1: was him. Oh wow. I was like, and what are
Speaker 1: you going to do to fix this? I was like,
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's terrible. Oh my gosh, that's crazy. That
Speaker 1: is crazy. One of the good things that happened this
Speaker 1: week for US was we finally booked our Disney trip.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're all set for for next year, so
Speaker 1: very very excited about that. Kids are excited and the
Speaker 1: only thing left to do is book the food reservations
Speaker 1: because you have to do that. Sixty days out. Lights
Speaker 1: were booked, we got great, great airfare, hotel is booked.
Speaker 1: I think the tickets might be purchased. I don't know
Speaker 1: did we purchase them. But everything's good, So a little
Speaker 1: bit of joy in my heart from uh, that's Disney.
Speaker 1: We did not get Genie Plus. They can just put
Speaker 1: themselves on that one, not using that system. But it
Speaker 1: did say that crowd capacity will be low when we
Speaker 1: will be there, So I am hoping that that is
Speaker 1: the case, and that everybody stays home, and that the
Speaker 1: cheerleaders and the dance troops get the frig away from
Speaker 1: me and no offense the foreigners. I don't think they
Speaker 1: can come back now. No, they're allowed to entry back.
Speaker 1: That's true too. But the dance and cheer competition is
Speaker 1: what really gets under my skin because I told the
Speaker 1: story about how they pushed my child. Yes, yes, you
Speaker 1: did pushed her right back, did you, little bitch? And
Speaker 1: I nudged her right back. They you know, they carry
Speaker 1: their flag proudly from wherever. Uganda wherever the hell they're from.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where they're from. Now they all
Speaker 1: end up in Disney World the same time. There's thousands
Speaker 1: of these obnoxious tweens running around clapping and singing their
Speaker 1: songs in these languages I don't even know. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: break out and dance in the middle. They stop in
Speaker 1: the middle of the road and you can't get by
Speaker 1: because there's so many of them, and it's like, really, bitch,
Speaker 1: get out of my way, I gotta go. I have
Speaker 1: you know when we use that fast passes, I got
Speaker 1: a fast passed for this. I got a reservation. Right
Speaker 1: when they get into standby line, there's a million of them.
Speaker 1: You have to wait five hours for the ride. It's just, oh,
Speaker 1: it's terrible. They break out the thriller dance and they're
Speaker 1: doing Oh I can't, I can't with them. And if
Speaker 1: you're listening in your kids one of those people, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but it's the truth. And anybody who goes to Disney
Speaker 1: that does not have a child involved in cheerleading or
Speaker 1: dance that competes, they know what I'm talking about. The
Speaker 1: conversations with complete strangers down there all take out our
Speaker 1: frustrations together as a group, and we don't even know
Speaker 1: who the hell we are. We don't know each other.
Speaker 1: But it's annoying. Democrats, Republicans, Jewish together against the cheerleaders,
Speaker 1: Muslim everybody comes together against the cheerleaders of Disney World.
Speaker 1: It's an epidemic of epic proportion. We hate them. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I can't stand them. I wish to god
Speaker 1: they would pick another week, but it just happens the fall,
Speaker 1: the two weeks that were there, they're just and they're
Speaker 1: outside the door when we're in our hotel at eleven thirty,
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock, they come cheering through. They come cheering. It's midnight.
Speaker 1: Get out of here. I want to sleep. I gotta
Speaker 1: wake up early. I hate it, I hate it. I
Speaker 1: hate them. Go away. How About like every hotel I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm ever at has the stupid baseball tournaments,
Speaker 1: you know, like gave me February tenth, and there's a
Speaker 1: whole baseball team of thirty five kids that are all
Speaker 1: in the buffet line at once. Yeah, well that's it's
Speaker 1: the same difference, only there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: of these girls and there's always one dude holding the flag.
Speaker 1: That's right, one guy and forty two thousand women, And
Speaker 1: I'm just like, man, that guy looked out, didn't he.
Speaker 1: That's when he's like, I get to be on the bottom.
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus. I don't know about all that, but it's
Speaker 1: just it's too much and they're obnoxious and they need
Speaker 1: to just get the hell out of my way. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. Well, I'm just looking at what's happening on
Speaker 1: Twitter as it is to the right of me. I
Speaker 1: don't know Melter's trending, but what else is going on

Speaker 1: of heercing. Yesterday, wwe released another forty two thousand people
Speaker 1: from their roster, and you know people aren't just assuming
Speaker 1: that the sale is going to happen because they keep
Speaker 1: releasing and releasing and releasing. I'm not going to play
Speaker 1: it here, but Drake Maverick, who was rockstar Spud, he
Speaker 1: put out a brilliant video this week. I saw it.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. The best line. Don't quote me on it
Speaker 1: because I'm not going to say it one hundred percent accurately,
Speaker 1: but he said something like, I didn't grow up wanting
Speaker 1: to be a WWE superstar. I wanted to grow up
Speaker 1: to be a professional wrestler. And that hit home because,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people think if you don't
Speaker 1: get to ww you haven't made it in this business,
Speaker 1: and that is so far from the truth. You know,
Speaker 1: and getting there. I've said it a million times. Just
Speaker 1: because you make it to WWE does not mean you're
Speaker 1: going to be successful, rich, well known. I mean, they
Speaker 1: could just sweep you under the rug. There have been
Speaker 1: people that work there that have never been on TV.
Speaker 1: And we're getting paychecks to sit home yeh whole time,
Speaker 1: and it's an easy paycheck. But when you're in this
Speaker 1: business and you love what you do and you love
Speaker 1: to work and it's a passion, you want to get
Speaker 1: out there and you want to show the world what
Speaker 1: you can do. And a lot of these people are
Speaker 1: so talented and never got the opportunity there that they
Speaker 1: should have so big, big opportunities now for other organizations
Speaker 1: to pick up these talents and to do right by them.
Speaker 1: But an interesting tweet that I read was from how
Speaker 1: do you pronounce her name? Is it? Taya Taya tya valkyrie?
Speaker 1: Taya Taya yeah, Tya Valkyrie. Yeah, she's John Morrison's wife.
Speaker 1: I've seen her wrestle before. She's really good and she
Speaker 1: has a really good luck to her. She's been tweeting
Speaker 1: she was let go first and then her husband was
Speaker 1: lego yesterday. So she tweeted something. I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: it on the timeline here, give me one second, because
Speaker 1: people are, you know, in the up and arrow. Let
Speaker 1: me see. She tweeted something like, why are you support
Speaker 1: Why do you keep supporting a company that treats their
Speaker 1: workers like shit? That was the gist of it. Now
Speaker 1: I can't find it. I don't know. I got it,
Speaker 1: I got it. I'm sorry. Stop supporting the company that
Speaker 1: is zero respect for their talent. You love professional wrestling,
Speaker 1: spend your money on the hundreds of other alternatives. This
Speaker 1: is wrong ethically as employers. They don't care about us,
Speaker 1: talent or fans. And I think she's got a point there,
Speaker 1: She's on point. I honestly think she has a point.
Speaker 1: And then she put up another tweet. She says her
Speaker 1: husband removed it, but she wrote her my husband got fired.
Speaker 1: This is why I'm saying this. I'm speaking my truth.
Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of people treating us like shit.
Speaker 1: In two weeks we lost both our incomes before the holidays.
Speaker 1: I'm all out to feel how I do. Yeah, people
Speaker 1: forget that. Yeah, for people like giving her backlash on
Speaker 1: tweeting her feelings, like, I don't get it. She is
Speaker 1: allie out to feel how she feels because this is
Speaker 1: happening directly to her and her spouse. Yeah, so why
Speaker 1: can't she mouth off? Did you see the number that
Speaker 1: they've released no ninety talents this year? It was a
Speaker 1: ninety okay, ninety talents. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: I think close to two hundred total office employees have
Speaker 1: been let go in the last year. That's that's insane.
Speaker 1: Something's happening. Thing is going down that needs to be
Speaker 1: revealed very soon because what are they gonna do. Are
Speaker 1: they going to use the same guys over and over
Speaker 1: again and it's just rotate them. Yeah, they are to
Speaker 1: have no one left. Yeah, I don't. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: It's weird. They've like they they rated the indie scene
Speaker 1: over a three four year period and they've essentially replenished
Speaker 1: it as now, bringing them up as like fifteen times
Speaker 1: the star they were when they were signed. It's very weird.
Speaker 1: I feel like they signed certain people only to not
Speaker 1: let other organizations grab them. Could be. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: way I feel about it. And I feel like the
Speaker 1: ninety day no complete is total bullshit. I just I
Speaker 1: don't understand, like, uh, you know, if you in other words,
Speaker 1: like if you don't want me, but another company does,
Speaker 1: why do I have to wait ninety days? Yeah? Let
Speaker 1: me just go work. Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I just I understand they're paying you for that ninety
Speaker 1: days to sit home. You know, it's an easy payday
Speaker 1: or whatever. But man, each day that goes by is
Speaker 1: a day that you might not get that offer again
Speaker 1: in three months because somebody else might come along and
Speaker 1: they will look at them before you, and it's it's
Speaker 1: a cutthrow business as well. It's hard. I think there's
Speaker 1: only been one person to challenge the ninety day and
Speaker 1: just completely ignored, and it was Raven and I think
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, two and three or two thousand
Speaker 1: and four, whenever he was let go by WW went
Speaker 1: to TNA. He just he was released on a Monday.
Speaker 1: He was at TNA on Wednesday, and what happened were
Speaker 1: there are no percussions nothing. So that's why a lot
Speaker 1: of people say it's more of a fear that you
Speaker 1: can't do anything for those ninety days when you read
Speaker 1: the contract. But essentially they're not going to come after you.
Speaker 1: Nobody challenges it, though, and they collect the money and
Speaker 1: then they move on. But I wonder if if Scotty
Speaker 1: was cut off from pay at that point, I sure
Speaker 1: I might have that might have been the thing to take.
Speaker 1: They would have paid him while he's on somebody. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's correct. But he tested the I'm just gonna go
Speaker 1: on and do my own thing. They okay, well we're
Speaker 1: not paying you anymore. Well I got a job, so
Speaker 1: for him, and that's and I don't know how many
Speaker 1: times that comes up anymore, because contracts are what they are.
Speaker 1: But now you see the NXT contracts are only thirty
Speaker 1: days versus ninety and Scarlett Bordeaux got around that. So
Speaker 1: Scarlet Bordeaux is able to start taking bookings and moving
Speaker 1: on because it's only been thirty days for her. Now
Speaker 1: Killer Cross has to wait until February. Well, you can
Speaker 1: take bookings, you just can't appear on somebody else's TV, correct, right,
Speaker 1: But or you can't. I don't think you can wrestle
Speaker 1: for those ninety days, right, I don't think as long
Speaker 1: as it's not on TV. It's such a slippery slope
Speaker 1: now though, because everybody's technically got some form of well yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I know when I was released, the first
Speaker 1: thing that was said to me was you can't work
Speaker 1: for TNA. That was the very first thing they said
Speaker 1: to me. And I went right the weekend. The weekend
Speaker 1: after that I was released, I went and I started
Speaker 1: working again, and I was doing shows all over the place.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't be on somebody's television. And also now
Speaker 1: the name thing has been brought up, so now for
Speaker 1: those ninety days, Killer Cross cannot sign an autograph carrying
Speaker 1: Cross has to be Killer Cross. Really Okay, Well, that. See,
Speaker 1: I never had to deal with that because my my
Speaker 1: name was borrowed because it's my birth name, right, so
Speaker 1: they couldn't. They had no control over that because I've
Speaker 1: used that since they won, So I was good to go.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's that gray area. They so your your
Speaker 1: WWE name. You can sign it eventually, but not during
Speaker 1: your ninety days. You cannot sign no technically, well no,
Speaker 1: they had somebody at these signings sits do not do it?
Speaker 1: Don't No, there's you know, how do you know, Joe?
Speaker 1: You know, somebody could have called me he said, hey,
Speaker 1: get to so and so's house now it wants to
Speaker 1: I've and signing and then they go, hey, just do
Speaker 1: me a favor. Just don't put those out for like
Speaker 1: another month, Like yeah, sure, oh yeah, I got those
Speaker 1: in September. What are you talking about? Uh huh? So
Speaker 1: so selfish it really is, you know, you're dealing with
Speaker 1: people's livelihood. This is this is how people make money.
Speaker 1: This is their job. And it's right before the holidays,
Speaker 1: like she said, look, Thanksgivings next week. I mean, come on.
Speaker 1: You know what's tough though, and this is an interesting
Speaker 1: thing for somebody as yourself a veteran of the industry.
Speaker 1: All these new talents now I have been released, right,
Speaker 1: So now they're coming their way onto the convention scene,
Speaker 1: and the convention scene's gonna start getting a little cloudy
Speaker 1: because there's a large group of people now that's getting included.
Speaker 1: So now maybe a veteran might not get booked because
Speaker 1: a TV talent's available. They're essentially letting so many people
Speaker 1: go once. It's like they're overbooking events on paper because
Speaker 1: there's so many people out there now. Unless somebody just
Speaker 1: decides I'm done, I'm not going to do anything. It
Speaker 1: kind of hurts in the grand scheme of things, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, it depends. You know, a lot of these
Speaker 1: guys are charging way too much, and a lot of
Speaker 1: the promoters, you know, they either can't afford it or
Speaker 1: they have to get two or three people to come
Speaker 1: in and help them bring one talent, you know, to
Speaker 1: to an event. If you are someone like myself who
Speaker 1: only works with certain people, because honestly, I get I
Speaker 1: get a lot of different people approaching us saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I want you for here, I want you for there,
Speaker 1: But I don't know them from Adam, and I won't
Speaker 1: I won't go. You know, I don't. I only take
Speaker 1: bookings from people that I know, or if one of
Speaker 1: the other talents is one of the guys that I've
Speaker 1: worked with, I won't go alone. I won't if I
Speaker 1: don't know you, I'd work for you kind of deal.
Speaker 1: So I'm blessed because I have that little group of
Speaker 1: promoters that I work with that I know will use
Speaker 1: me for certain shows. Talent always finds a way to
Speaker 1: get in the door. You know, a lot of the
Speaker 1: guys will adjust their pay, and that's another thing that
Speaker 1: bothers me, Like if everybody would just stay steady with
Speaker 1: what they want and stop dropping their fees. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like these guys come in and they charge ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, but you know someone I'm not going to
Speaker 1: use myself, but just anybody. Oh, they now they have
Speaker 1: to go. They were getting a thousand, let's say, and
Speaker 1: then they dropped it to five because those so and
Speaker 1: show's coming in. That's not fair. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: fair at all. And if everybody would just put their
Speaker 1: foot down. And I know a lot of people need
Speaker 1: they have to work, and they work every weekend consistently.
Speaker 1: But like me, I'm not going to stand for that.
Speaker 1: So if you don't want to pay me what I want,
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay home. I have that luxury. A
Speaker 1: lot of the guys don't. But I just don't find
Speaker 1: it fair that so and so needs ten thousand dollars
Speaker 1: and you can't bring another person in because you have
Speaker 1: to give them all your money. Yeah, I've seen it
Speaker 1: on the I'm stortying a out on the you know,
Speaker 1: the private end. Anytime somebody's let go, I get a call,
Speaker 1: do you want so and so? Okay, how much are
Speaker 1: they charging? They give you the number. It's like astronomical
Speaker 1: for a private signing. Yea, this is what they want.
Speaker 1: And there was one guy in particular that I literally
Speaker 1: turned down like once a week that they keep on
Speaker 1: pitching to me, and I go, look, I'm not interested
Speaker 1: because there's no chance to make money. Dave, he that's
Speaker 1: what he feels he deserves. That's great, But I go,
Speaker 1: that is a lose lose for the businessman because you
Speaker 1: can't sit on two hundred autographs for ten years. That
Speaker 1: drops his value because then I can't sell. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw them up for ten dollars each. On
Speaker 1: Facebook and see if somebody wants one. It sucks. But
Speaker 1: you're smart. Yeah you. I'd give you all the credit
Speaker 1: in the world for how you run your business. You
Speaker 1: do it very smart. I feel like, if you can
Speaker 1: get it, get it right, you know, like these guys
Speaker 1: that are just coming off TV. If you can get it,
Speaker 1: go ahead and do so. I'm not knocking talent. I
Speaker 1: just don't like the fact that the promoters, you know,
Speaker 1: people that have been consistent and good to work with,
Speaker 1: and then they turn around, oh, well I can't give
Speaker 1: you this, but I can't give you that, then I
Speaker 1: don't come in sorry, you know. And a lot of
Speaker 1: the guys will do it because they need the money, right,
Speaker 1: this is the way they make their living. Bothers me.
Speaker 1: We were talking about it this weekend. We were like,
Speaker 1: if everybody would just stay consistent with their prices, then
Speaker 1: nobody would be going in and they would have to
Speaker 1: figure out a way to pay these workers what they're worth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. It just to me, it blows my mind
Speaker 1: that some of these guys who have done so much
Speaker 1: for the business get paid in peanuts. It's not fair.
Speaker 1: It's not a fair business. I would just listen and
Speaker 1: I'm not a prima donna. I'm not saying I'm worth millions,
Speaker 1: but I do know what i'm worth, and if it's
Speaker 1: not worth it for me, I will stay home with
Speaker 1: my children and I will have a great weekend because absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's that's it. At this point, I'm too old for
Speaker 1: this bullshit. I'm tired, almost fifty and fabulous tour coming
Speaker 1: for one, that's right, almost almost yeah, yeah, and like
Speaker 1: next week is restle Kid. Yeah, I'm super excited about it.
Speaker 1: I talked to Tammy yesterday. We're so excited. First time
Speaker 1: we're signing together ever, that's crazy. I can't believe that.
Speaker 1: Like we've been at signings together, you know, at the
Speaker 1: same signings, I should say, but never at the same table.
Speaker 1: And we've never taken you know, dual photos together. So
Speaker 1: we're we're pretty excited about it. It's going to be
Speaker 1: a great weekend, you know. But now who you know,
Speaker 1: who knows who's going to be at this convention. I
Speaker 1: have no clue. There's last minute editions. They're going to be,
Speaker 1: oh plenty, there will be, but thank god, I'm already
Speaker 1: locked in, so you can't change my price, all right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: locks dog barrel you're in. That's what it's all about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great again. I wish I could go that something's
Speaker 1: changed last minute, so I can't make it, but uh,
Speaker 1: I will be with y'all and spirits. Yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a good time. I'm I'm super excited about it.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's good people running it. Tracy's a
Speaker 1: good dude, and I've done it once before and this
Speaker 1: is my second time doing it and I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see everyone. So well, that'll be a recap in two weeks. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Christmas stuff have you? Have you dabbled yet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we we started toding the outside. We added a
Speaker 1: new piece to our outdoor display hubs, but a tree,
Speaker 1: one of those trees that are like all the lights.
Speaker 1: It's like the big, huge triangle that has all the
Speaker 1: lights for outside. So we added that and we added
Speaker 1: red and green. We have torch what are they called
Speaker 1: torch lamps or torch lights going around the front of
Speaker 1: our house. They're usually like an orange amber color, but
Speaker 1: he changed it to red and green, so now they're
Speaker 1: all red and green, which is cute. And we also
Speaker 1: have a projector in the window oh, okay, yes, and
Speaker 1: it will project Christmas scenes like Santa, you know, putting
Speaker 1: the presents under the tree, or reindeer flying or snowman.
Speaker 1: It's very animated, very cute. We also have a manger
Speaker 1: because Jesus is the reason for the season, that's right,
Speaker 1: and we have him up up front and center with
Speaker 1: a spotlight on and a little little wooden thing. That's cute.
Speaker 1: It's real cute. So we started doing that because, honestly,
Speaker 1: yesterday was gorgeous. The day before was gorgeous. The kids
Speaker 1: and I were out and about doing walking and enjoying
Speaker 1: the weather. And you know, today's forty friging eight years degrees.
Speaker 1: It's freaking cold out. Yeah, the winter's here, even though
Speaker 1: it's it's not here yet, but it's here. And but
Speaker 1: at least it matches everybody's decorations like it finally, at
Speaker 1: least it makes it worth it. I wanted to start
Speaker 1: because I usually start Thanksgiving weekend and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be home, and then by the time I do
Speaker 1: get home, I get him late Sunday evening. Monday, I
Speaker 1: have a dentist appointment, so I wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: start until like Tuesday, and that's already like we're already
Speaker 1: into like December almost, so I said, well, let me
Speaker 1: start this week that way we have time to enjoy
Speaker 1: completely agree. Yeah, we're putting up the tree tonight. Okay,
Speaker 1: we have the decorations for the outside, we haven't put
Speaker 1: them up yet. I'm not fully. The most I ever
Speaker 1: did was a little on our townhouse, little string of
Speaker 1: lights around the doorway. Well, now I got columns, I
Speaker 1: got windows that have wreaths that are going on with
Speaker 1: the lights. So yeah, it's a big So we're slowly
Speaker 1: was surely gonna work on it this this weekend, but
Speaker 1: damn Thanksgivings next week. I know, actually it's Thursday as
Speaker 1: you listen to this, right, yeah, it's it's it's creeping
Speaker 1: up on us. So I asked the kids, like, what
Speaker 1: do you want to eat? Because you know, I don't
Speaker 1: do the turkey if it's just the five of us,
Speaker 1: because none of us eat it. So I think what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do is we're gonna look at the Wagman's
Speaker 1: sol could the easiest thing in the world for everybody? Yes,
Speaker 1: their pre made platters are out of this world. So we're, uh,
Speaker 1: we're each gonna pick what we want, and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a nice uh nice together, and everybody gets
Speaker 1: what they what they hoped and dreamed for. Have I
Speaker 1: ever told you about the Betty Crocker sweet potatoes? You
Speaker 1: might have last year? But I remember, all right, Well
Speaker 1: they're instant mashed potatoes, right, but they're sweet potato, right
Speaker 1: Betty Crocker. Well they discontinued them. Oh no, but if
Speaker 1: you go on lie you type it in, you can
Speaker 1: still find them. I don't know where the hell they
Speaker 1: come from, but I ordered them on Amazon right. God,
Speaker 1: they're from nineteen seventy four, so that's when it came.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, one I thought about it,
Speaker 1: I got anything about the expiration date, I go, I
Speaker 1: wonder if, and when it came I confirmed it. The
Speaker 1: expiration date is twenty twenty two September, but I think
Speaker 1: the manufacturer date was twenty thirteen, so they're still technically good.
Speaker 1: Well I had them the other night. They worn't go great, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm not dead. I actually feel great this week.
Speaker 1: I've been very strict on the dieting. I've been working
Speaker 1: out this week very clear head first week in along time,
Speaker 1: so I think the sweet potatoes are just part of
Speaker 1: the process. Who knew that sweet potatoes could could turn
Speaker 1: your whole life around? Who would have known it could
Speaker 1: make me sweeter? That's true. You can't get much sweeter
Speaker 1: than that. But very good. Well, yeah, I just I
Speaker 1: was really bummed for everybody who got, you know, fired
Speaker 1: this week and it's just shitty right before Thanksgiving. That stinks.
Speaker 1: I mean that I was fired from a job right
Speaker 1: before Christmas a few years back. Yeah, few years like
Speaker 1: twelve years ago, right, it feels well, it had long
Speaker 1: lasting effects that I think we only really recovered from
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Right while this was pregnant with
Speaker 1: the first baby. It was like a gut punch. I
Speaker 1: got fired right before my wedding in two thousand and
Speaker 1: nine from a job, and that was bad. This one
Speaker 1: felt worse just because of the timing right before the
Speaker 1: holidays sucked? It does it? Does? I just? I don't again,
Speaker 1: I I there's something's going on a sale. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: I thinking they're going to sell to who. I just
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be Disney. I don't want
Speaker 1: Disney to acquire them. Now there's a wonderful company that
Speaker 1: owns a cable company, or that it's a cable company
Speaker 1: that owns a broadcasting entity called NBC. If they are
Speaker 1: acquired by anybody, I think it's going to be comcasts. Okay,
Speaker 1: well I can deal with that. I just don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to go to Disney Parks
Speaker 1: and look at wrestling. I don't design be like if
Speaker 1: you smell what the rock is cooking restaurant that way,
Speaker 1: I don't want any of that stuff in my parks.
Speaker 1: Get out. The Ultimate Warrior Remembrance Pavilion is that way.
Speaker 1: I don't want any of that bullshit in my parks.
Speaker 1: The Hockey talk Man, yoursel of progress is that? No?
Speaker 1: But I you know, well, a Honckey talk Man and
Speaker 1: I had really deep and meaningful conversations at Rhode Island
Speaker 1: Comic Con. I love the Hockey talk He was at
Speaker 1: my table every day talking to him and JBL just
Speaker 1: talking to me every day. Honckey talk Man gets a
Speaker 1: bad reputation based off of being a shrewd business guy
Speaker 1: in the height of being the Hockey talk Man. When
Speaker 1: you talk to him directly, he is a very smart guy.
Speaker 1: He is He's just he's seen some shit, but He
Speaker 1: is a very good dude. I like the Hockey talk
Speaker 1: Man a lot. And the funny part was somebody had
Speaker 1: mentioned him and Jerry Lawler had this big, huge feud. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they were next to each other at the signing
Speaker 1: talking and their cousins. Yeah yeah, and they were like,
Speaker 1: as somebody had said, oh it was family related. They
Speaker 1: didn't talk for years. But the guy was surprised that
Speaker 1: they were even talking at this convention. But they were
Speaker 1: right there. That's way long under the table. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. It was something. Yeah, it was like for
Speaker 1: a good ten years where there was some bad blood,
Speaker 1: but it is like, I think, fifteen years removed from
Speaker 1: Oh it's been a long time, a long long time.
Speaker 1: I was going to say they were getting along just
Speaker 1: fine when I saw them. But what a cool family have,
Speaker 1: Jerry the King Waller and that's full gear, which was
Speaker 1: you don't get you don't get hockey talk man in
Speaker 1: the gear anymore. No, he just had like a regular
Speaker 1: outfit on. But did he have a zubaz pants on?
Speaker 1: He might have. I can't really remember him and pack
Speaker 1: him and JBL were at my table, and you know
Speaker 1: I had I had an abundance of photographs on my tail.
Speaker 1: But everyone's in a a while, they look down at the
Speaker 1: don't look there, sir. Yeah. So all right, well, let's
Speaker 1: let's talk about what we got going on this week.
Speaker 1: Patreon my favorite time we talked about Christmas. Right, this
Speaker 1: is just an interesting one. I thought you and I
Speaker 1: could rap about it. I'd love to gauge pass and
Speaker 1: present you, yourself, your kids, your husband, all time Christmas toys.

Speaker 1: cabbage Patch kids? Remember the fad? People killed each other
Speaker 1: over cap There literally was death over Cabbage Patch kids.

Speaker 1: but I saw a few names that I've heard you mentioned.
