WEBVTT - A Little Bit Of Everything 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.719 All right, let's get it going right here, right now. 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.640 This is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to an 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.640 all new Eyes up Here exclusively on our Patreon channel 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.000 and on the Creative Control Network. If you can see me, 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.880 I know I'm very blurry eyes. Do I need new glasses? 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.640 The eyes need focusing up here? I'm watching myself in 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.520 the monitor to the left, and I just see blur mess. 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.560 But at least I can hear you, because I'm Chad. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.199 By the way, that's the queen of Extreme Francine. I 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.239 couldn't hear her and she can't see me. We're like 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.280 a perfect like Helen Keller. Duo. Oh god, no, that's 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:43.559 so terrible to say. Don't stay done. You know what 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:48.920 I think happened. I had to get a separate piece 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:56.480 for my what's this called? Set up my computer? Hard? No, 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.440 what's it called? Not a PC? Not? Not? I mean 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:04.240 not a was it desktop? Desktop? Say? This is ella 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.400 savvy I am? Because I wanted to stream poker on Twitch. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.880 So we had to buy a doppel Is that what 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.440 that's called? We had to buy a piece to add 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.480 to uh, you know, so they can see where I 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.120 live because you know, gambling is only legal in certain 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.240 states or whatever. And I was able to stream last night, 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.160 which was a success. It was lots of fun and 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.200 great and all that stuff. But for some reason, it 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.679 lagged me out of everything. So when I tried to 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.920 get into my email, like it says we need your password, 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.200 I was like, I forget it, and I'm trying all 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.360 these passwords and it kicked me out of my Twitch. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.520 You can't. It kicked me out of all my accounts, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.240 and it messed with my microphone. That was quite the 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.480 technical infrastructure you had to tackle right before we started. 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.480 But I'm going to give you credit. You did a 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.480 great job. I can hear you crystal clear. I was 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.600 going deaf while you were doing it because it was 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.200 it was like shocking me in my ears. I had 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.920 to put my headphones like this. But you didn't give 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.399 yourself a hand, all right, I will thank you. Yeah, 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.640 you know, Hubbs is the tech wizard and he's not 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.080 here and I'm just alone. So I'm just trying to 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.680 click different buttons and unplug things and plug them back in, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.679 and I think I did it correctly. So so does 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.320 this poker? Does this open up a new world for you? 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.359 Now that you have this thing to track your gambling. 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.600 It opens up a new world on Twitch because I 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.440 was kind of looking for something else to do on there, 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.880 and I was like, okay, so I do an aaw 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.320 watch along. I answer questions all the time like it's 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:47.440 just chatting whatever. I took them pull side. They seem 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.520 to have flect that a lot. But I was like, 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.760 I wonder why, Okay, I can't imagine why. And then 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:57.200 I tried gaming, you know, and that's okay. And I said, well, 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.520 I play poker anyway, and I really enjoy it. Why 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.480 don't I just throw it on twitch and see if 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.800 it sticks? And I did a tournament last night and 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.480 I actually finished in the money, which was fun. But 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.440 I was on there for like three and a half hours, 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:17.440 and you know, I have to I think I have 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.800 to play earlier in the day because that's a long 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:25.040 stretch for me. But it was good and I enjoy it, 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.600 and I'm gonna venture out and try that from them 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.680 on so it's something to add to what I do. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.560 I saw your tweet and I was like, this is 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.120 like past bedtime here now. I was sitting I was 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.160 literally yawning, and I'm like, I'm so sorry, it's not you, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:46.440 it's me. It's just tired, and I was I wanted 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.640 something to drink, but I didn't want to leave. You know, 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.280 I wasn't prepared. I didn't bring anything with me. I 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.680 brought like two SIPs of a ginger ale and that 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.560 did not last for three and a half hours. So 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.760 I was parched. I was hungry, which it didn't let 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.440 me snack, which was good because sometimes I'll go and 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.040 I'll get a little snacky poo late and that's not good. 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.680 So I didn't snack last night. But I was exhausted. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.360 I was tired. Did you see cards in your head 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.920 all night? Like numbers and cards? Yeh? I just you know. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.760 I My problem is I just need to slow it 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.520 down because early on I had pocketjacks and the other 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.039 guy I thought was just being a turd and he 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.440 was raising and I'm like, oh, he's probably got ace king, 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.120 he's got nothing. And here he caught something like on 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.080 the turn road or the river. And if you don't 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.760 know what this is, look it up. But Chad looks 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.160 like he's very confused. But I don't know what the 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.800 hell you're talking about. Well, we put our cards over. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.360 I was in the lead, and then the guy caught 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.120 something as the cards flipped, and so I lost and 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.480 I had to shoot another bullet, which means I had 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:59.400 to pay another ten dollars. So I actually bet twenty 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.320 and one at thirteen and change, so I took a 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.400 six dollars and change loss. But it was for twitch, 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.120 so it was good and it's building my hours up 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.400 and hopefully I'll gain some new poker people that didn't 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.880 know me from wrestling. So I don't know. I'm just 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:19.520 trying stuff, you know me. I just try until it works, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.799 and then like two years you'll be on the celebrity 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.880 poker toy battling, you know, battling like you know, like 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.920 NFL greats and like you know, like former like singers 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.599 and stuff. And Francine sitting there with her poker face. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.839 I wish we get your poker face. Let me see 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.480 a poker face. Well, you don't need a poker face online. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.400 I just want to see your poker face. You have one, Yeah, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:45.279 it's like this is it gonna call? Oh my god, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.320 do I have anything? Oh my god, I have all 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.000 the tails right on my face. Being like I'm telling you, 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.640 people wear like sunglasses. They have a hoodie over them 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.279 so you can't see anything. And it's just like I don't. No, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.760 I get very nervous when I play, and I need 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.159 to just control myself and calm down because I'm a 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.880 decent play I know, wear a mask. I'm a decent 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.080 enough player. I know the rules and stuff. But I'm 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.400 over zealous sometimes, so I just need to slow it 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.599 down a little bit. Yeah, but I do enjoy it. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.919 So last night was a lot of fun, and I 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.440 think the people watching had fun too, And I was 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.839 I dropped some F bombs and oh, I know, and 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.200 I didn't mean to, and I just kept going, sorry, sorry, 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.800 it was just not me. But you tend to curse 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.480 when you when you get a bad beat sometimes, So 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.680 was it just a straight curse or combination word? Was 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.880 it like I used? I used son of a bitch 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.680 a lot. Yeah, I was using that one a lot. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.000 I think I dropped the F bomb two or three times. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:57.200 But I apologized and everybody was laughing at me. So overall, 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.359 a great success. Do you So do you like completely 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.040 like hide cursing from your kids as much as you can? Oh? Yes, absolutely, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.520 you talked about it before, but you know, just like 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.040 they if they say like any do they know like 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.160 X word is like a trigger semi curse word, and 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.880 they stay away from it. Yeah, they don't curse. But 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.360 once in a while, these YouTube videos for kids will 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.280 have cursing in it, and I'll go whoa hey, and 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:30.240 they'll go sorry. They freak out on me, Like if 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.000 I'm doing something in another room and I say ship 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.560 or something, I'll hear a swear word, swear word, and 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:40.520 I'll go sorry and don't say that. Mom. I know 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.880 I said that. I'm so sorry, but like you hardly hear. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.920 Like we never say f in front of the kids. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.280 It's we try not to, you know. I try not 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.600 to curse it all in front of them. And that's 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.960 the way to be. I agree, and I'm I'm pretty good. Uh. 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.520 Brie was watching something at the table the other day 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.240 and it said like what the hell, and I go, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.840 what are you watching? And she goes, I don't know. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.000 I was looking it off of it. Then I'm not 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:13.000 really sure what this is. But uh, I'm just flabbergasted 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.760 by the amount of cursing in these videos that are 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:21.120 aimed at kids. Yeah, and they should not be on YouTube. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.800 In my opinion. Maybe I'm just approved. But for you know, 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.760 if you have younger children and there these are the 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.120 kids who are clicking these links, they why do they 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.440 have to drop an F bomb or say a curse 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.240 word at all? It just I don't get it. It's 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.120 an interesting little thing though, because I've seen it more 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.960 like penetrate, not just these kids videos and YouTube videos, 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:47.800 but journalism headlines, you know, more free to speak it 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.920 on TV. And it's one of those things where it's 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.800 like these are still taboo words, and especially if you 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.800 read it in an article and then you just like this, 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.160 if it's an opinion piece and the journalist is cursing 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.520 drop an F bomb, I think it kind of takes 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.000 away the credibility of the piece because if you're needing 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.000 an easier word, maybe getting a little more creative and 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:08.760 think of something that could fill in the blank. You know, 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.720 It's funny too, because like a lot of wrestlers who 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.320 use profanity, I've heard time and time again people say, well, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.600 they're only using it to get cheap heat. They only 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.800 curse to get cheap heat, you know, And sometimes it 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.280 is appropriate and other times it's overkill. So you got 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.360 to pace yourself. Yeah, I mean, I've had that conversation 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.760 with Shane, and he's the one who i'd put at 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.560 the top of my head of work. But he and 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.800 I have had that same discussion of certain places it 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.920 doesn't belong. It's different in the entertainment realm. You read 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.600 a book and there's an F bomb, it's like, all right, 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.679 it's part of the story. You're watching a movie, there's 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.840 an F bomb. That's part of the story. Wrestling. Wrestling 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.199 could be real, so there's part of the story. You 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.080 drop an F bomb and makes it that much more, 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.160 you know, like impactful. Well, you're just reading a story, 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.839 you know, especially like you know, during the tru presidency, 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.320 you just see journalists dropping F bombs and you know, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.200 ship and this, and then it's like that's easy way 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.240 out of writing an article or writing a piece. And 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.920 I just I don't like, I personally don't like to 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.959 read that stuff. Not to say it's not just with him, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.480 it's with everybody, but I just I hate that person. Yeah, 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.840 I don't know. I just I look back on some 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.280 of the promos that I did, and I'm like, oh, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.920 I shouldn't if they if they removed the word bitch 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.200 from television for you, you would have like two words. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:39.040 That joking joking, I'm joking. I was talking with somebody 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.800 this week and we were we were discussing a few 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.360 weeks ago how you and I were saying, you know, 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.880 wouldn't it be funny if WWE bought Disney or Disney 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.320 bought w W W w EE at Hollywood Studios. Well, 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.520 this week they had a shitload of cuts. I don't know, 0:10:54.520 --> 0:11:00.560 I saw now. Wasn't it the was it the iconics 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.400 or was that the prior one? That was the prior one? 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.040 They did less of the talent releases this time, and 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.679 more of the corporate releases this time, and just straight 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.880 up virons and they clean house. Wow, So numbers must 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.800 be really bad, because no numbers are good. They're keeping 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.400 them up. They just felt some of the positions were redundant, 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.679 I mean money wise, because that's I mean usually they 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.560 do these budget cuts every year and they get rid 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.040 of a whole lot of people every year, and I 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:37.720 honestly feel like coronavirus just cut into their budget terribly. Yeah. 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.760 I don't know, Uh, you know, personal heat between the 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:47.840 workers and like the the higher ups. Like somebody said, 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:54.320 that Kevin Dunn hated the one iconic Billy Kay And 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.679 I'm just like she was so over like that group 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.160 to me was like so over. What was the Is 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.800 it personal beef? Like? What is getting in the way? 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.920 It just I don't know. I don't get it. I 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.520 can understand money wise, but when you go after like 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.319 people that are really good for the company, hard working, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.800 getting over doing their job well, and then you just 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.360 get rid of them. That's why I always said anyone 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:25.600 is replaceable. Yeah, you know, they just don't care. So 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.080 I don't know. And the iconics, I mean, I gotta 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.719 tell you probably not replaceable immediately, because where are you 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.560 gonna find two Australian walents that are a team together 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.960 that managed to have their unique ability to get heat 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.200 and then become very love But they're from Australia. You 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.199 would think that that's a box that's not gonna come 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:49.000 along every five minutes. Two Australian girls that you could 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.480 pair together like that, they'll they'll just give that gimmick 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.760 to someone else. When we had Jazz on, you remember 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.640 what she said. She came up with a tremendous storyline 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.000 and they loved it and gave it to someone else 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.079 and it was her idea, and it's like, are you 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:07.000 kidding me? Like I just I don't know, I don't know. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.480 It just makes me happy that I'm not involved in 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.080 that world anymore because it's so frustrating, Like I could 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:20.720 just imagine those poor girls and the guy is just frustration. 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.960 It doesn't look like the same business when you watch 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.079 it on television anymore. And I just got done watching 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.240 what we're gonna watch for our watch long. I watched 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.680 the lead up, you know, the show going into the match, 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.120 and it just does an uneasy w being separately and 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.959 it's all cool, entity it just doesn't look like you're 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.720 watching the same thing anymore. Yeah, you know, I don't watch, 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.520 so I'm not. I'm always told you're not missing anything. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.480 I'm just not. It makes me sad, though, because I 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.600 was such a huge fan back in the day and 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.360 now I could care less and I couldn't care less. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:59.280 Rather is the expression, but it's it's terrible. It's terrible 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:03.319 to feel that way. And I used to get excited 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.200 for wrestling. I used to I used to run to 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.920 my girlfriend's house to watch raw because I didn't have 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.920 cable nine o'clock at night. I would run the street 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.120 watched her, you know, to watch an hour's worth of 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.360 wrestling because I couldn't see it online. And that was 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.240 technically during a down period. Well for me, that was 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.840 that was like my that was my Monday was complete. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.200 I just had to have that that hour wrestling and 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.800 I was all week. It was a build up. I 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.360 looked forward to the next that's so awesome. Yeah, and 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.480 that's not that's not here anymore, like there's I don't 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.680 crave it anymore, you know. And that to me doing 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.840 that New Generation Era podcast that I do, you know, 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.560 it's it's basically we're talking about shows that were an 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.160 hour and how much they crammed into that hour. Never 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.720 never a loss for a minute, but to see how 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.600 stuff developed, see how it played out. You couldn't miss 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.080 it because it was that one hour a week that 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.720 you had to get in and locked in. And it's like, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:02.440 I'm not saying to go back to an hour. You 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.760 guys had an hour and the you know, you did 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.560 you know the for the most part, right almost all 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.360 up until TNN, right, it was no, we had an hour. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.960 We had an hour. It didn't extend, No, you got 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.080 an hour TV and look how much you guys got done. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:17.920 And that to me is the beauty of it. And 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.200 that's why I said, it's not the same kind of business. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.640 When you put on a wrestling show, it just doesn't 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:28.280 and sports entertainment whatever, it just it doesn't feel the same. Also, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.880 I feel like when you extend it to two hours, 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.760 three hours, whatever it is, it's a lot of filler. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.160 It's a lot of stuff that fans are going to 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.600 go to the bathroom, go make a sandwich, go get 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.640 a drink because they don't care about it. It's a 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:46.800 lot of talking, unnecessary talking. It doesn't mean as much anymore, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.480 and it just it just bothers me because I want 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.640 to love it. I want to. I want to have 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.080 my DVR loaded and sit down on a Saturday afternoon 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.560 and want to watch it. But I don't. Yeah, I 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.760 just don't. And that again, it's nothing against the workers. 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:07.720 The workers are tremendous and they can do some great things. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.720 It's just the product itself that turns me off. Right now, 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.560 I don't think I'll ever be a huge fan again, 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.880 I really don't. Plus, I'm older, there's different things going 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.920 on in my life. You know what I mean. Like 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.480 some people say, oh, I've grown out of wrestling or whatever, 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.160 and some people have been lifelong wrestling fans and they're 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:31.440 struggling with today's product. You know, when I do the 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:36.000 watch alongs, there's one guy in there who is absolutely 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.840 every week punped. I think it's Sam. I think his 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.800 name is Sam. He's a twenty year old kid, absolutely 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.520 loves the product. And while the chat's going on, everybody's 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.400 asking me questions about eastw Sam always comments about what's 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:57.600 happening on AW every single week, and I'm just like, 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.800 Sam's pumped, He's ready to go. He loves this. He's like, 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.040 I just love wrestling, and I wish I was there 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.239 and I used to be there like twenty something years ago, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:12.360 but I'm not there now. So it's crazy. It's just crazy, 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.399 I mean, you know, and that's you from studying the 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.679 business as a fan and having worked in production and 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.960 around the guys, I feel the same way. So I 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.679 think it's just the era and that's that's it. The 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.560 era is done. But here's the other side of it. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.560 This is better for you in the long run because 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.720 people are going to be clamoring to see the older stars, 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.520 and I think that the vintage stuff is what is 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.760 really going to carry the history of wrestling now. Is 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.960 anything basically before twenty ten is really now. I think 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.960 is going to be more in demands of the conventions. 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.879 And from what I've seen about the conventions that have happened, 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.360 the one you went to and there was another one 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:58.040 since people are coming back, yeah, yeah they are. Well, 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.480 people want to get out, but I think that the 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.639 product is causing people to want to go see the 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:07.360 older stars too. That could be it. I still think 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.240 everybody has cabin fever and they just want to get 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.640 the hell out of the house, you know. But yeah, 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:18.439 I I don't know. It's it's you either love it 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.359 right now or you don't. There's really no middle ground. 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.359 You know, You're either all in or you're just you're 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.320 just changing the channel. And most people are changing the 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.960 channel these days. So I think it'll be better once, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.760 you know, the fans start to come back to these 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.280 shows and there's live audiences again, and especially for the workers, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:40.960 like we've said it time and time again, it's so 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.399 hard to work in an empty arena, you know, And 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.480 and I tip my hat to them, especially if you're 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.560 a heel working off no energy whatsoever. So I feel 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.879 like at least for the workers, momentum will go up 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.960 because the crowds are coming back. So that's a good thing. Yeah, Jesus, 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.400 they're going to go house show touring again. Wow, that's 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.760 like house show business was down in the pits before coronavirus, 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.720 and now it's like a twenty five city tour they announced. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:08.800 And I gotta be honest with you, that's all they 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.840 should announce. They shouldn't pick up all those little shows 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:16.080 because that's what drove the business model down. Keep them 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.439 in the big areas. Well. I'm sure they're happy with, 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.520 you know, the paychecks that they're going to get, because 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.760 their pay is going to go up. But it's just 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.440 what a weird what a weird year it's been. It's 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.480 just crazy. Was the twenty twenty one supposed to be better? 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.800 Like wasn't It's? Well, I think it's getting better, you know, 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.480 I honestly think it's getting better. I don't you know, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.080 maybe you can enlighten me on this. And I don't 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.119 mean to stir shit up, but I don't understand, like, 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.359 you know, certain states are lifting the mask mandate and 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.000 they're saying, well, you can go in these stores, you 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.200 know if you're vaccinated, but we're not allowed to ask 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.720 if you are or not. So don't you think just 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.320 people who are just sick of wearing mask and not 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.040 vaccinated just going to go in there and not wear 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:06.560 a mask? What is the what is the point? It's 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:11.399 the honesty system or the honor code, and I just 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.359 don't think people are going to follow that. And I 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.160 don't I don't understand the whole. I don't I don't 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.920 get it. I saw an interview with Biden and he 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:26.639 had said absolutely no vaccine passports, which I am in 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.680 favor of. I I don't think I can't do that, 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:32.280 no way. I'm one hundred percent and in agreement. I 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.240 hope he doesn't change his mind down the line. But 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.439 it's like, why even emphasize if you're vaccinated, like you 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.560 don't have to wear a mask, Like no one's going 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.199 to wear a mask if they If you don't have 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.960 to share your card unless you're paranoid, then you honestly 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:51.439 think the mask is protecting you. I don't know. I 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.119 find it odd pulled it out. It's in my pocket 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.320 from this morning because I had to run some errants. 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.800 I personally feel if I go in there I didn't 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:04.040 give accinated. I go in there and I don't have 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.439 this thing on that I'm going to get scrutinized and 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.119 I'm going to have somebody pick a fie with me 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.520 or start with me, And I don't really don't want that. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.240 So I'd rather them need keep this on and them 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.399 no I didn't give vaccinated, than have it off and 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.880 potentially run into an issue now where it was vice 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:22.399 versa two weeks ago. Yeah, so you know my state 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:27.760 mask mandates lifted today? Actually no more mask right? Really? Wow, 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:33.320 I didn't know that in September the kids still have 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:38.720 to wear masks to school. Okay, that pisces me off 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.679 to no stupid, it's so dumb, so stupid. Then I 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:53.879 read Children's Hospital is giving out COVID vaccines to twelve 0:21:53.960 --> 0:22:03.600 and over, no parental permission required. Now, okay for a 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:07.240 twelve year old, you're not gonna get permission from your parents. 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:12.360 In Canada, they're offering free ice cream cones to children 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:15.879 to just come and get the vaccine. Who the hell's 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.240 gonna let their twelve year old just go wander off 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.520 and get a vaccine, which isn't even a vaccine, but 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:26.240 go get this shot and not have a parental figure 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.920 with them. And now they're offering money to the adults 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:35.760 because no one wants the vaccine anymore. Oh my god, 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:42.840 a free beer. It just foggles my mind. I don't understand. 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.000 Did you see the clip of the New York City 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:51.800
