Speaker 1: Mike Tyson already had the greatest boxing career ever. And
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson is all about death to the ego. He
Speaker 1: doesn't care about this stuff. He thinks boxing is garbage.
Speaker 1: He thinks old Mike is garbage. He thinks all the
Speaker 1: things he had to go through to become the man
Speaker 1: that he is now is it was evil and it
Speaker 1: was wrong. I've heard he doesn't care.
Speaker 2: I've heard that. I don't think he cares. Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: are you ready's about to hit the fan?
Speaker 1: Welcome to Sanctioned Thursdays are wrestling.
Speaker 2: We fready, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays, the
Speaker 2: show where we talk wrestling and whatever the hell else
Speaker 2: we want to talk about with me. As always, it's
Speaker 2: mister Jeff died back from promoting his new comedy, specially
Speaker 2: the last cowboy on Earth. Just kidding, No, he didn't
Speaker 2: say on Earth. He knows there's other cowboys out there.
Speaker 2: Cowboy in La, in La, you are the last one
Speaker 2: in La. But before we get into wrestling, you were
Speaker 2: in Austin, Texas. Sir, I whytn't to tell the people
Speaker 2: why you were there and what you were doing well.
Speaker 1: I was in Austin, Texas doing the shows to promote
Speaker 1: the special at Comedy mother Ship, doing stand up comedy,
Speaker 1: but then also I did Lauren Compton's podcast called First
Speaker 1: Date with Lauren Compton. I did Matt McCusker's podcast Great Guy,
Speaker 1: Check that Out, and then I did the Joe Rogan Experience,
Speaker 1: which was awesome. Joe is my second time on I
Speaker 1: did it back in February. The first time me and
Speaker 1: Joe chopped it up, and then I played the trailer
Speaker 1: for the special on Joe Rogan's podcast at the end.
Speaker 2: It was great.
Speaker 1: Austin is the best. I will be buying a home
Speaker 1: there soon.
Speaker 2: I saw Joe Rogan do stand up comedy in the
Speaker 2: mid nineties, like ninety five ninety six, and this was
Speaker 2: a time when I was still writing down comedians jokes
Speaker 2: in my journal and I would write how big the
Speaker 2: crowd would laugh right. I'd done this since I was
Speaker 2: twelve years old, and I was probably nineteen twenty when
Speaker 2: I stopped. It was right around after this, after I
Speaker 2: saw this set that Joe did that I that I
Speaker 2: stopped doing. I started booking jobs and wasn't going to
Speaker 2: comedy clubs anymore because I was working and they were
Speaker 2: horror movies, so it was night, and that's when you
Speaker 2: guys like to tell jokes. Day jokes don't work as well.
Speaker 2: He had this joke and I don't even know if
Speaker 2: I can say it. On the podcast. He had done
Speaker 2: his lion bit where he talked about like the Discovery Channel,
Speaker 2: and he would do all his like the sound effects
Speaker 2: of the lions, like mating and all that, and then
Speaker 2: he just randomly goes. He goes, you ever just answer
Speaker 2: the phone at a shot at a mall and when
Speaker 2: they ask for somebody test, tell him they're not there.
Speaker 2: He goes, I used to do that all the time.
Speaker 2: He's I got answer a phone and be like Mike, No,
Speaker 2: Mike's not here.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: We caught him blowing a guy in the bathroom. He
Speaker 2: can't work here anymore, and the crowd laughed so hard,
Speaker 2: and I wrote, I would do like Fivemiley faces they
Speaker 2: if the crowd were like really really laughing hard. And
Speaker 2: for his whole set, it was like four and five
Speaker 2: Smiley faces all the way down after every job. Oh really,
Speaker 2: I think I still have that journal somewhere. I have
Speaker 2: all the others, so I'm sure I have that one.
Speaker 2: It would just be looking through it. But it was
Speaker 2: like Paul Mooney went up that night, Joe went up
Speaker 2: that night. This guy named Mike Binder went up that night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm friends with Mike Binder. Oh really, Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: back into comedy. Yeah, I know, I know Mike. I
Speaker 1: know I know Mike a little bit. He was a
Speaker 1: really really nice guy.
Speaker 2: Man. I'm sure he still is a really nice guy.
Speaker 2: But he was always really nice to me as a
Speaker 2: kid I was. I met him when I was like
Speaker 2: fourteen fifteen.
Speaker 1: He's been very pivotal in my life because of sobriety. Oh,
Speaker 1: been very very very good to me. That way good man.
Speaker 2: I saw him have a set that didn't go well,
Speaker 2: and the way he handled it at the end, and
Speaker 2: the way he dealt with the crowd I thought was
Speaker 2: so like classy and smooth and just such a he
Speaker 2: was such a professional. And I think I was fourteen
Speaker 2: when I first saw this. He still thanked everybody and
Speaker 2: was so like appreciative andful, but they just they weren't
Speaker 2: vibing with him, and I thought it was. I thought
Speaker 2: it was a really good set. So I was like
Speaker 2: writing the jokes down as quick as I could. You know,
Speaker 2: I'd leave out certain words because I'm trying to keep
Speaker 2: up with him, because he would tell like stories up there.
Speaker 2: I really liked him. He was nice to me. He
Speaker 2: liked my dad and was very complimentary about my father.
Speaker 2: So I always had a soft spot in my heart
Speaker 2: for that guy.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I was gonna say about the thing you said
Speaker 1: about Joe Rogan Us Comics love those kind of stories,
Speaker 1: not because of any other reason than you're reminding us
Speaker 1: of a joke we used to do. So like he
Speaker 1: might go, he might hear that story and go, oh man,
Speaker 1: I've even thought about that joke and forever, and like
Speaker 1: it'll make him all excited about it again, unless he
Speaker 1: did it on a special or an album or something.
Speaker 1: But if there, if sometimes we will go, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start working on that again. That was a funny joke,
Speaker 1: And so we love stories.
Speaker 2: If I when I get back to the States, if
Speaker 2: I think about it, I'll look through those journals and
Speaker 2: if I can find his set, I'll give it to
Speaker 2: you and you can share it with him if you want,
Speaker 2: or you can throw it away whatever, it doesn't matter. Well,
Speaker 2: I am in Australia, Sydney, Australia, And if you listened
Speaker 2: to yesterday's podcast, you'll know that I killed a giant
Speaker 2: spider and I'm still a little traumatized by it. I
Speaker 2: really thought I would I would get away without seeing
Speaker 2: one in the house. That just was brutal. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: still really like shook. Just I don't even want to
Speaker 2: record you know what. This is the end of the episode, guys.
Speaker 2: I gotta get the fuck out of here. I gotta
Speaker 2: get an exterminator. Stat Yeah, enjoy see you next week. Bye.
Speaker 2: But uh, let me tell you, guys what I'm doing
Speaker 2: out here yesterday. I gotta I get a few days
Speaker 2: to adjust because it's a it's like a day and
Speaker 2: a half ahead of y'all. It's that we record these
Speaker 2: on Monday mornings in Los Angeles. It's actually Tuesday morning
Speaker 2: and Monday afternoon in Los Angeles, but Tuesday morning in Australia.
Speaker 2: And I woke up at like five thirty so we
Speaker 2: could bring these episodes to you guys from from around
Speaker 2: the world. But don't worry, I'm jet lagged. I was
Speaker 2: up early anyway without an alarm, thank you very much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I got to do the makeup and hair test yesterday,
Speaker 2: so they tried to make me look all pretty and
Speaker 2: gave me a little clean up around my neck. I
Speaker 2: got a few more days to let my hair grow
Speaker 2: out a little bit more and they put the makeup on.
Speaker 2: I'm looking all sun burnt and sun tanned because he
Speaker 2: works on a boat. It's his name's Ray. If you
Speaker 2: guys didn't see the first one, he's a fisherman. If
Speaker 2: you haven't seen the first one, check it out. It's
Speaker 2: called I Know You did last summer. And then I
Speaker 2: got to meet some of the crew and some of
Speaker 2: the cast. I know the director really well, but I
Speaker 2: haven't gotten to shoot anything yet. My first shoot day
Speaker 2: will be right after we record next week. We'll be
Speaker 2: on nights because it's a horror movie and scary stuff
Speaker 2: doesn't happen during the day. I just watch any horror movie.
Speaker 2: I'll prove it. Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: I can't say too much because there's like a lot
Speaker 2: of cool, scary, sneaky stuff in here that would spoil
Speaker 2: the movie, and I hate people that spoil movies. Kaiser Soulzi,
Speaker 2: it was Kevin Spacey. I'll punch you right in the
Speaker 2: face straight up. My wife one time wrecked what was
Speaker 2: that movie, The Sixth Sense, and like, h yeah, twenty
Speaker 2: minutes before anyone figured it out. Just all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: she goes, oh my god, he's dead.
Speaker 1: That's brutal one to spoil too, even though she's just guessing,
Speaker 1: that's a brutal.
Speaker 2: One to pop on. It popped out and it was
Speaker 2: like half whispered. But they're like people sitting around us,
Speaker 2: and I just hear I hear the guy behind us go,
Speaker 2: oh fuck, I Sarah your wife.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I was like, Sarah, we're leaving or I'm getting in
Speaker 2: a fight, and I don't want to have to beat
Speaker 2: this guy up. And we left the movie. We left
Speaker 2: the theater. Man, I took her out, but we got
Speaker 2: not an argument. But I was like, yo, you can't
Speaker 2: do that. She's like, I know. I didn't mean to it.
Speaker 2: It just shocked me and it came out. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you can never do that again. I gave her the Kaiser.
Speaker 2: So example, my buddy's friend. He was a really good wrestler,
Speaker 2: so I didn't fight him because he probably would have won,
Speaker 2: but I yelled at him. He wrecked the usual Suspects
Speaker 2: movie for a lot of people, and I was there
Speaker 2: when that happened. He wrecked the same guy also wrecked
Speaker 2: seven and told everyone it was Kevin Spacey in the movies.
Speaker 2: But again, he was a wrestler, so nobody could really
Speaker 2: do anything to him because he just fuck him up.
Speaker 2: He's kind of a dick and would do it on
Speaker 2: purpose and be like, yeah, you want some and then
Speaker 2: chicken wings some guy and make him fucking cry in
Speaker 2: front of his girl. But yeah, so so yeah, don't route,
Speaker 2: don't ruin movies. But if you have ias have a
Speaker 2: buddy who was named Tony Revs. And he he wasn't
Speaker 2: trying to spoil things, similar to the story about your wife,
Speaker 2: but like he would just be like, here's what I
Speaker 2: think is gonna happen. And then I would watch wrestling
Speaker 2: and I was like, he just knows wrestling so well
Speaker 2: that he didn't mean to ruin this whole episode for me.
Speaker 2: But he's just nailed everything. He predicted everything, And so
Speaker 2: I feel like Alex is like that our producer, Like
Speaker 2: if he if I would just if me and Alex
Speaker 2: hung out all the time and watch wrestling, I'd go,
Speaker 2: you don't get to tell me what you think is
Speaker 2: gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Let's just watch it.
Speaker 2: Mccaullay Culkin's the same way. I won't watch, to the
Speaker 2: point where I stopped going to shows with him. We
Speaker 2: would gamble and he would bet. Like you, guys, want
Speaker 2: to know some bets, you want to make some real money,
Speaker 2: just ask McCaulay culkin on social media who's going to
Speaker 2: win the match, and he'll tell you whether he's seen
Speaker 2: the storyline or not. And that motherfucker's always right. Also,
Speaker 2: he is right. That guy's taking a lot of money
Speaker 2: off me over there, all right, Oh real quick. WWE
Speaker 2: is confirmed that the debut episode of Raw on Netflix
Speaker 2: is going to be at the Intuit Center in Los Angeles, California,
Speaker 2: on January sixth. If you're going to be there, keep
Speaker 2: your eyes peeled because your boys going to be there too.
Speaker 2: That's right, Freddi p is going to be in the house.
Speaker 2: I won't be able to say, hey, they'll be watching
Speaker 2: some kids. I'm bringing my son and some of his friends,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to be a watchdog, so I won't
Speaker 2: be able to take pictures or do any of that stuff.
Speaker 2: I got young men to look after and make sure
Speaker 2: they're not fing up, get them backstage so they can
Speaker 2: meet a couple wrestlers and have some of their dreams
Speaker 2: come true. But I'll be with a squad of like
Speaker 2: four or five little dudes, my son and some of
Speaker 2: his homies, and they're going to their first professional wrestling match.
Speaker 2: My daughter's been to a bunch. See likes it more.
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it to be on Netflix. It would
Speaker 2: be much easier to watch down here in Australia. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you that I've had to bribe. I've had this
Speaker 2: sell my soul. If I have a third kid, that
Speaker 2: kid has sold already. I've had to do everything possible
Speaker 2: to keep up with wrestling so that we can give
Speaker 2: you guys this, this this lovely podcast each and every week.
Speaker 2: So let's talk to wrestling. Still, Bronson Reed and Seth
Speaker 2: Rolin still hate each other, Jeff, which is a good thing.
Speaker 2: Hate is good and it's very motivating. We also saw
Speaker 2: the Miz align himself with the Final Testament and get
Speaker 2: slashed over his freaking eye and blood was pouring out.
Speaker 2: It looked so awesome. It was like one of the
Speaker 2: few times I wasn't grossed out because it wasn't like
Speaker 2: that visible. You could see the blood, but you couldn't
Speaker 2: quite see where the cut was, so I didn't get
Speaker 2: grossed out. Speaking of cuts, did you watch the boxing
Speaker 2: fights over the weekend on Netflix?
Speaker 1: I did a very disappointing, very It was strain pointed.
Speaker 2: But you know you knew that going in, right, you
Speaker 2: knew it was gonna suck.
Speaker 1: We all hoped, you know, we are all living on hope,
Speaker 1: and when hope disappoints.
Speaker 2: You, it's very frustrated. Well tell me, tell me what
Speaker 2: you were hoping for, just a good good night of
Speaker 2: fights or what specifically.
Speaker 1: Well, so I like UFC, right, that's gonna be real fighting,
Speaker 1: and I like boxing, which you believe to be real fighting.
Speaker 1: But when you enter in some YouTube stars and maybe
Speaker 1: some retired old guys that are now more personality than athlete,
Speaker 1: and you enter in all these things, it brings out
Speaker 1: the worst in everyone. Everybody was like, oh, Jake Paul
Speaker 1: is in a real boxer, and Mike Tyson's old and
Speaker 1: this is rigged, and this is faked. It brought out
Speaker 1: the worst opinions in everyone that I know. And so
Speaker 1: when the match didn't live up to the hopes, of
Speaker 1: maybe Jake Paul getting knocked out, or maybe some ear
Speaker 1: biting or some sort of larger than life social current event.
Speaker 1: Since none of that happened, and it was just like
Speaker 1: an old, tired Mike Tyson and a Jake Paul with
Speaker 1: a not a knockout, not getting knocked out, not knocking
Speaker 1: him out, It then just again brought out the worst
Speaker 1: in everyone. I knew this crap was dumb, and I
Speaker 1: knew Jake Paul this and he's probably he fought a
Speaker 1: sixty year old man, So it just brought out the
Speaker 1: worst and everybody before and after the fight and was
Speaker 1: very disappointing. And I can't imagine anybody being more upset
Speaker 1: about it than Netflix.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, Netflix, step your buffering up.
Speaker 1: That's another reason it was bad for him.
Speaker 2: That was really frustrating. Did you think the Jake Paul
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson fight was a real fight and it was
Speaker 2: just a fifty eight year old who couldn't seem to
Speaker 2: get off versus a young man who's you know, training
Speaker 2: to be a boxer but doesn't have the full complement
Speaker 2: of skills that a full time boxer would have, or
Speaker 2: did you feel it was an agreement between two gentlemen. Hey,
Speaker 2: let's not get too hurt here.
Speaker 1: What did you think My personal opinion, yeah, is that
Speaker 1: Jake Paul paid Mike Tyson to lose this fight because
Speaker 1: it gives Jake Paul the rub. It makes Jake Paul
Speaker 1: a legitimate like thing. Also, Mike doesn't care. Mike Tyson
Speaker 1: already had the greatest boxing career ever, and Mike Tyson
Speaker 1: is all about death to the ego. He doesn't care
Speaker 1: about this stuff. He thinks boxing is garbage. He thinks
Speaker 1: old Mike is garbage. He thinks all the things he
Speaker 1: had to go through to become the man that he
Speaker 1: is now is it was was evil and it was wrong.
Speaker 1: I've heard he doesn't care. I've heard it, and I
Speaker 1: don't think he cares. So he's like, sure, if it's
Speaker 1: going to make my kids, kids happy financially, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna make my life, you know, like like I'm happy
Speaker 1: to lose, I don't care. Let's kill that old Mike Tias.
Speaker 1: Let's kill the idea of that old Mike Tyson. Let's
Speaker 1: kill the let's kill the the legend, the legacy, kill it.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I'll take a fall for twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1: I'll do eight rounds. Don't knock me out, but you
Speaker 1: know I'll lose a match to you for twenty mil
Speaker 1: And who can? And also, like Mike Tyson could have
Speaker 1: one hundred of his buddies go gamble on it and
Speaker 1: make some money, Jake Paul could have a hundred of
Speaker 1: his buddies go gamble on it and make some money.
Speaker 1: Like it's, boxing has famously been predetermined in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways historically.
Speaker 2: It's interesting and that you said that I was watching
Speaker 2: the fight. I had facetiming a friend of mine, a
Speaker 2: former world champion. I won't say his name because I
Speaker 2: didn't I don't have his permission to say it, although
Speaker 2: he probably wouldn't care. He knows the boxing game really
Speaker 2: really well inside and out. He's a multi time champion.
Speaker 2: He was an Olympic medalist. Dude's been around. And we're
Speaker 2: watching the fights. We're watching Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano. A
Speaker 2: Manda just got her head split open because Katie Taylor
Speaker 2: just rushes in with her head first, hands down, head first. Man.
Speaker 2: It was gross and not what you want to see
Speaker 2: out of a boxing fight, certainly, But then it got
Speaker 2: to the main event, and I don't remember which round
Speaker 2: it was. I think I believe it was like two
Speaker 2: or three, and he said, look, look what Mike just did.
Speaker 2: Look what Mike just did. And Mike threw a left
Speaker 2: hand that connected and it was kind of a jab,
Speaker 2: but the way he was squared up, it was a
Speaker 2: stiffer jab. And then you saw him kind of like
Speaker 2: hesitate on it and almost be like whoops and sort
Speaker 2: of like stopped his body. And he was like, oh no,
Speaker 2: And I said, what what what? And he goes, Mike's
Speaker 2: not going to hurt him, and I said, because he can't.
Speaker 2: He goes, he said, he no, because he won't. He
Speaker 2: said they have an agreement. He's like, they have an
Speaker 2: agreement for sure, but he said, like that stuff is
Speaker 2: in the contract, like you knock my guy out and
Speaker 2: you don't get paid what we agreed on getting paid.
Speaker 2: So once he said that, and he was like, Mike
Speaker 2: just pulled up and I kind of saw it. I
Speaker 2: gave Mike. I was sort of like, well, maybe you know,
Speaker 2: he's old and he just can't he can't get off.
Speaker 2: The more I thought about it, the more I'm starting
Speaker 2: to lean towards what you what you said at the
Speaker 2: top of it, which was Mike that whole death of
Speaker 2: the ego and stuff. I've seen Mike speak on on this,
Speaker 2: and I think times I think you're dead on because
Speaker 2: that's word for word what he has said about himself.
Speaker 2: So I could just so like it.
Speaker 1: If anybody thinks, oh, you're being conspiratorial, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: he would never do that, blah blah blah. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Even boxers with who love boxing, who have a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of pride in boxing and are the age appropriate
Speaker 1: to be boxing, unlike Mike is they'll take falls because
Speaker 1: they're like, we can make so much money on the
Speaker 1: rematch or oh, you know, you win this one, but
Speaker 1: then we have like a big comeback, like they're they're
Speaker 1: storytelling even in boxing, and so it's like even. But
Speaker 1: now take away that Mike doesn't care about boxing, Andy
Speaker 1: hates his old self and he has no ego, Like
Speaker 1: why wouldn't he take twenty million ago? Yeah, if this
Speaker 1: young guy, if this young guy wants to, you know,
Speaker 1: he thinks he's a big time he wants to be
Speaker 1: you know, but then I'll let him win. I don't
Speaker 1: care I'll take the ill take the money. I want
Speaker 1: the I want the security. I'll let him do this.
Speaker 1: I don't care about old Mike.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard him break down and cry talking about yeah,
Speaker 2: who he used to be and and and how much
Speaker 2: he doesn't like that version and how scary that version is.
Speaker 1: It's all garbage, all those felts, all that crap. It's
Speaker 1: all garbage.
Speaker 2: Dun. Yeah, he he doesn't. Yeah, I wish Mike was
Speaker 2: kinder to himself. I wish he looked at him himself
Speaker 2: as I mean, he was my generation's heavyweight champion, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So it was like I wish,
Speaker 2: I wish he could feel the love and accept the
Speaker 2: love that people have for his contribution to boxing a
Speaker 2: little bit more, because it seems like he doesn't like
Speaker 2: that person at all and doesn't want to have anything
Speaker 2: to do with that person. And we all have, you know,
Speaker 2: dark sides. I think everybody has a dark side that
Speaker 2: you may not get in touch with it, but I
Speaker 2: think it's it's there within everyone. I just wish he'd
Speaker 2: give himself a break, that's all. But yeah, I thought,
Speaker 2: after talking to my guy and hearing you, I'm starting
Speaker 2: to lean more. It was like pro wrestling. It was
Speaker 2: a work or no, it was a shoot or work. Yeah,
Speaker 2: work the whole thing. Let's talk a little bit of wrestling.
Speaker 2: By the way, whoever's doing the logos for w needs
Speaker 2: to be fired immediately. You got Friday Night smack Sound,
Speaker 2: and now you're gonna have You're gonna have Monday Night
Speaker 2: Monday Night baw baw not raw baw. They turned the
Speaker 2: R into a B and they turned the D into
Speaker 2: an S, so we got smack sound and Monday Night baw.
Speaker 2: So way to go on that. Those look really friggin cool,
Speaker 2: Like do you know how many people have to see
Speaker 2: these logos in order for one of these logos to
Speaker 2: get approved in a corporate publicly traded company like that?
Speaker 2: Like thirty people go through that logo minimum, and then
Speaker 2: it gets to Triple H's desk with like here's the
Speaker 2: four best, what were the other three that were so bad?
Speaker 2: They pick the ones that change the spelling of the
Speaker 2: words to the point where they're not even words, Like
Speaker 2: I thought smack Sound was horrible, Monday Night.
Speaker 1: Was in general, like everybody was sharing like the Old
Speaker 1: World Series logos for like all the years leading up
Speaker 1: and everything in the nineties and two thousands were awesome
Speaker 1: looking logos and they've just slowly gotten worse this year.
Speaker 1: It just says world series. There's not like any like
Speaker 1: like art or anything. They just wrote it.
Speaker 2: And you're like, what happened to all the logos at
Speaker 2: least like Elder Right, But.
Speaker 1: The internet's better. It shouldn't things shouldn't have gotten worse.
Speaker 1: The Internet is more alive and better than it's ever been.
Speaker 2: It's shocking. Yeah, man, the logos are rough. We need
Speaker 2: to step We need to help them step their logo
Speaker 2: game up. I think we need to come up with
Speaker 2: some logos, post them on social let the people speak,
Speaker 2: get them out there. All right, let's talk some Friday
Speaker 2: night smack sound because Monday and Night baw oh, it's
Speaker 2: still raw until January sixth, then it's then it's gonna
Speaker 2: be bought. So Monday Night raw we saw them Miss
Speaker 2: Guther and Damien Goother's never losing that title, right, I
Speaker 2: don't foresee that at all. No, they're making Damien look
Speaker 2: so good and his promos are so much better in
Speaker 2: this storyline than when in the storyline that he lost that.
Speaker 2: I'm sad he's gonna lose this time, like they should
Speaker 2: have switched the promos like and and switched the victories.
Speaker 2: His promos are the pro almost of a winner, and
Speaker 2: I don't think he can win this match that they
Speaker 2: have coming up. We'll get into our predictions on next
Speaker 2: week's episode. Yeah, gooth, there's not gooth, there's not gonnaw
Speaker 2: is that. Let's move on to Friday night's Max sound
Speaker 2: shall we jupe? All Right? I mentioned last week Cody
Speaker 2: Rhodes was a man without a story. No more, he
Speaker 2: has a story. Kevin Owens has given us that story,
Speaker 2: and he's he's now a champion that's not going to
Speaker 2: be hunted. He's a champion that is the hunter. And
Speaker 2: this is a cool twist because he's been a babyface
Speaker 2: with a target on his back ever since he won it,
Speaker 2: and he finished his story and for the first time,
Speaker 2: he's now seeking out people, which is what if you're evil,
Speaker 2: Kevin Owens, That's exactly what you wanted in the first place,
Speaker 2: because you showed mercy in that first match in Germany.
Speaker 2: Like a like an idiot, I'm punishing I'm Kevin Owens
Speaker 2: right now, I'm channeling I'm punishing myself because I didn't
Speaker 2: take out the knee when I knew the knee was bad.
Speaker 2: I'm so stupid. That's why I lost a match. I'm
Speaker 2: such an idiot. Never again, Never again. How can I
Speaker 2: get another match? I know I'll do. I'm gonna fuck
Speaker 2: up his best friend, Randy Orton. See on Thursday's We
Speaker 2: Cuss Baby. I'm gonna fuck up Randy Orton. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: break his Nego don't worry. Giant spider will attack me
Speaker 2: any moment, but Jesus with a sword. He'll be carrying
Speaker 2: a katana blade. That's how big the spiders are out here.
Speaker 2: So he beats down Randy Orton and puts him in
Speaker 2: a hospital. Thanks for that, By the way, that was
Speaker 2: revenge that Kevin got on behalf of me because I'm
Speaker 2: too old to do it now, So I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: I texted him. I was like, just handle Orton, and
Speaker 2: he handled it. Randy's wife is like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: Randy's in the hospital. Oh my god, Cody, please do something.
Speaker 2: And Cody's like, I can't deal with when the girl cries.
Speaker 2: When the girl cries, that's my kryptonite. That's my kryptonite.
Speaker 2: Nick Alvis Randy's wife was crying, give me Kevin Owen's
Speaker 2: and Nick Alis is like, I'm not doing it, bro,
Speaker 2: This this shit has to get handled. He said it
Speaker 2: with a British accent. This has to be handled. We
Speaker 2: have to do this properly. He can't be on television
Speaker 2: until we figure this out internally. And Cody's like, look now,
Speaker 2: I don't care if you're British, and I don't care
Speaker 2: if you wrestled. You're gonna give me Kevin. There's going
Speaker 2: to be a problem. I'll show up at his house.
Speaker 2: And he's a very motivated champion. Jeff, He's not motivated
Speaker 2: to defend his title. It has nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the title. He's there to fight for his friend, the
Speaker 2: same way i'd fight for you. If a stand up
Speaker 2: comic came and jacked you up, his ass would be
Speaker 2: straight grass. I'm telling you right now. And even if
Speaker 2: I couldn't beat him, I know guys that could beat him,
Speaker 2: So don't worry. I got dudes that got in my back.
Speaker 2: But I like this Cody Rhodes. He's got a fire
Speaker 2: lit under his ass for the first time since he
Speaker 2: won the belt. He's actually got a real motivation to
Speaker 2: fight other than just being hunted. And I like Cody
Speaker 2: the Hunter. I think he's I think he's cool. I
Speaker 2: think he's cooler than Craven the Hunter. That's what I think.
Speaker 2: What about you, sir?
Speaker 1: I don't think he can put it any better than
Speaker 1: what you just said. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: how I feel about all of it. Also, why is
Speaker 1: Nick Eldis such a big part of all of this.
Speaker 1: It's very confusing.
Speaker 2: They've really put a spotlight on both general managers the
Speaker 2: way I wish they'd put a spotlight on regular wrestling managers.
Speaker 2: And so I think that's the explanation. Whether we like
Speaker 2: it or not, it's a different conversation. But I think
Speaker 2: they're really trying to highlight the general manager and give
Speaker 2: them a bigger part of the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels it feels like a little forced at times,
Speaker 1: especially since the way they do it just kind of overnight.
Speaker 1: This is kind of like it goes from Hey, this
Speaker 1: is the new general manager, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the general manager's doing all these things and you're like,
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? But anyways, I love
Speaker 1: I love ko I love Cody Rhoades, I don't give
Speaker 1: a crap about Nick Aldos. I love Randy Jordan, so don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to feel about it.
Speaker 2: But you heard it here, people, Jeff d I hates
Speaker 2: the NWA. He hates the NWA. Yeah, print it all right. Well,
Speaker 2: then let's get to something that I think you will like.
Speaker 2: La Knight. Love La Knight, We love l A Knight.
Speaker 2: He wears cool vests. He rejects Sammy's Ain's invitation to
Speaker 2: join their team at Wargames, saying he's got his own
Speaker 2: shit to deal with, like Santos Escobar and Legado del Fantasma.
Speaker 2: And he had it, by the way, he had an
Speaker 2: amazing match with this dude Tokaro, who is usually there
Speaker 2: to get beat up for Santos, But when you give
Speaker 2: this guy a chance to wrestle, like, holy shit, he's really, really,
Speaker 2: really good. But all of this is nonsense. It's all fluff.
Speaker 2: The whole match is fluff. Even though it's a good match,
Speaker 2: it's all fluffed, Jeff, Because when the match is over
Speaker 2: and La Knight wins, it's the return of someone that
Speaker 2: I love very very much. And he kicked he kicked
Speaker 2: La Knight's ass, and he came in dressed in black
Speaker 2: and he looked like a friggin samurai from anime. And
Speaker 2: it was the return of Shinseki Nakamura. Yes, and he
Speaker 2: looks so great. How cool did he look? Dude?
Speaker 1: Finally we're tapping into the horror stuff, right, which I'm
Speaker 1: always talking about, like, oh, horror, this, horror that, And
Speaker 1: that's why bray Wyatt's cool, and that's why Undertaker's cool,
Speaker 1: and that's why Kane's cool. Tap into the horror, tap
Speaker 1: into the horror, and then resting is all Japanese, Japanese, Japanese. Well,
Speaker 1: Japanese horror is one of the things America has been
Speaker 1: stealing from a lot, and like, Japanese horror is like
Speaker 1: one of the most popular things in Japanese culture. And
Speaker 1: guess what, chins Ke did it. And I'm so happy
Speaker 1: if this looks straight out of a Japanese horror film,
Speaker 1: and I love it.
Speaker 2: He looked so awesome, you guys. He has these like
Speaker 2: flowing dark black robes, like half robe, half pant, like
Speaker 2: he just looked so you couldn't even see his face.
Speaker 2: It looks straight out of anime. It was so it
Speaker 2: was just awesome. I'm so glad to see him back,
Speaker 2: someone with La Knight that we believe can beat La Night,
Speaker 2: although I thought there was a chance that Santos could
Speaker 2: as well. But this can be This could be special
Speaker 2: and these two could really tear a house down. So
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to see him. I hope it's not
Speaker 2: just on TV, and I hope they give him a
Speaker 2: premium live event, and I hope this goes on for
Speaker 2: more than one match. It should otherwise you brought him
Speaker 2: back even if he loses, it's got to be like
Speaker 2: over three matches. Otherwise you're just jobbing out chins k
Speaker 2: and he's looking awesome while he's while he's getting jobb out,
Speaker 2: which I don't think would work. So it'd be cool
Speaker 2: if it would go back and forth a little bit,
Speaker 2: or if he even could, you know, take it off
Speaker 2: La Night and then you find another story for La.
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I was so excited to see this.
Speaker 2: I saw it online before I saw the match. Also,
Speaker 2: Jay Usso, Sammy's Ain, and Jimmy Usso had some concern
Speaker 2: backstage about not having a fifth member for the team
Speaker 2: La Nights, like na, y'all can kiss my ass, seth
Speaker 2: Rollins kiss my ass everybody kissed my ass. Nobody's having it.
Speaker 2: They got in a fight outside with the other bloodline.
Speaker 2: Bronson Reid comes out. Bronson Reids freaking kills everybody. I
Speaker 2: mean everybody. You loved it. You loved seeing Bronson Reid
Speaker 2: smash Roman Reigns, and it led us all the way
Speaker 2: to a backstage segment with Roman Reigns, whose ego has
Speaker 2: not allowed him to form the perfect team. It barely
Speaker 2: allowed jay Uso back in until he finally showed him
Speaker 2: some love. But he picked up his phone, Jeff, he
Speaker 2: picked up I think it was an iPhone. Yeah, good
Speaker 2: guys are allowed iPhones. Did you know that the company
Speaker 2: Apple iPhone. If your character in a movie is a guy,
Speaker 2: they won't allow them to have an iPhone. Really, there's
Speaker 2: clothing companies that won't let you wear their clothes. If
Speaker 2: you're a bad guy or if you die in the movie,
Speaker 2: you can't wear their brand. There's just stupid. There's cool
Speaker 2: companies like Lacoste with the alligator that are like, yo,
Speaker 2: fuck it, you could be evil, you could get blood
Speaker 2: all over us, but we don't care. We're La cost
Speaker 2: We got an alligator on the front of our shirt.
Speaker 2: So Anyway, Roman is in the room by himself and
Speaker 2: he picks up his iPhone because he's a good guy,
Speaker 2: so they'll allow him to use it. He picks up
Speaker 2: his iPhone and he says three words, Jeff call the
Speaker 2: Wise Man, and the whole crowd goes crazy. Ah, Paul, hey,
Speaker 2: that's back. Yeah, We're sorry. The number you dialed has
Speaker 2: been disconnecting the whole crowd. All the air just went
Speaker 2: out of the arena. Bro I don't know if that
Speaker 2: was the goal, but all the air went out of
Speaker 2: the arena and they didn't even boo, They just went
Speaker 2: oh like it was just like everyone got punched in
Speaker 2: the stomach. I thought it was awesome. I don't know
Speaker 2: if WW thought it was awesome. I thought it was awesome.
Speaker 2: And it means soon we will get the return of
Speaker 2: the Wise Man. But like I said in last week's episode,
Speaker 2: or maybe it was two weeks ago, you will not
Speaker 2: see the OTC win until Paul Hayman's back in the fold.
Speaker 2: They have to have their full old school bloodline with
Speaker 2: the Wise Man before they're going to be in perfect position.
Speaker 2: I think Paul have a lot to do with the
Speaker 2: eventual victory as well, so they're going to keep losing
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be tough until Hayman returns the greatest
Speaker 2: manager in the business, mister Paul Hayman. But that was
Speaker 2: the end of Friday Night Smack Sound. They still haven't
Speaker 2: changed the logo, which is just wild to me. Man,
Speaker 2: it's so bad, and so is the new Monday Night
Speaker 2: Baugh Like that's going to be so bad. It was
Speaker 2: a great end to the episode. It's a great story
Speaker 2: that they're telling. I love how long they've been able
Speaker 2: to stretch this out, how much juice they've been able
Speaker 2: to give it. It's not always a ten, but a
Speaker 2: story can always be a ten. There have to be
Speaker 2: chapters that are sevens and eights, chapters that are fives
Speaker 2: and six so that the ten means more. They've given
Speaker 2: us so much good stuff with the bloodline, dude, and
Speaker 2: I know you loved it too. I did.
Speaker 1: It's perfect. I love the storytelling. I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1: I like the way going. Bring Paul Hayman back. When
Speaker 1: can we have the wise man? I need him there.
Speaker 2: I got a question for you, yep, I know seth
Speaker 2: Rawlins said f Roman reigns. I'll never work with him again.
Speaker 2: He's unprofessional. He didn't say that, but he said he'll
Speaker 2: never work with him again. But but with Bronson Reed
Speaker 2: being on the new blood line, that could give Set
Speaker 2: the reason to join the old blood lines. Also the
Speaker 2: Shield roots which are always there. Do you see a
Speaker 2: world where seth Rawlins becomes the fifth member of the
Speaker 2: Old blood Line at wargames? I would be shocked, but
Speaker 2: weirder things have happened. But it kind of makes sense
Speaker 2: if it's just for wargames. But if it's in the.
Speaker 1: Actual storyline and he's part of it, I don't see
Speaker 1: that happening. I think like you'd see a lot of
Speaker 1: like four matches, people doing things like that, But I
Speaker 1: can't see him being in the actual bloodline just for
Speaker 1: the match. Yeah, just for that, just for the match,
Speaker 1: per I could totally see that.
Speaker 2: Well, sir, do you have any final thoughts, anything you
Speaker 2: want to share with the people before we say goodbye?
Speaker 1: Just that we love you and we got I'm so
Speaker 1: glad to be back. I wasn't able to be here
Speaker 1: last week and I'm I'm happy to be back. I
Speaker 1: love listening to these even when I'm not on the episodes,
Speaker 1: And we love you guys's message and and feedback and yeah,
Speaker 1: it makes me happy. It makes me happy that we
Speaker 1: do this. That's all.
