Welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys. I am your fill in host for the week. Some people call me Gris. Some people call me Chris, but I am the co-host and I'm joined today by the expert smarksman himself, Brian Quinby. Brian, how you doing today? See, I still have the thing. I'm great. I'm just really keen. It's been a, it's been a great day. I'm very nervous because, uh, as Chris is intimated, this is the second episode I did not prep. Yeah. Which is actually a good thing because I'm completely burnt out. So it was nice to have somebody else do it. But, uh, we don't have to, you know,

I don't know what happened.. But also I don't know. I mean, I don't know that you need to even say that you're burnt out one minute into the 100th episode of the podcast. I would say it's even, it's even, you know, maybe people could just make the decision theirself, but I, I did Brian meet some of your friends this week. I did a bit of research on the internet and I found that a lot of your friends have a lot of very cool opinions and they love to write very long posts and they are very, very cool. So it was very, very neat. I don't know that I've you know, we've

been doing this for a long time, but I've never really met any of your friends before. So it was cool to get friends of mine. But I mean, actually, what I would say is that I've, you know, we've been doing this for a long time, but I've never really met any of your friends before. So it was cool to get friends of mine. But I mean, actually what I would say, I would, I'll say this right at the beginning before this gets crazy. Okay. I, when I go to wrestling, I'm generally miserable. I like watching the guys wrestle and stuff, but I don't like anything about what's going on around me in the audience at all. I did learn some stuff and we will get to it about some of the issues in the audience that do come up during wrestling events.

But of course we are going to do we should just mention off the top. Okay, some people are going to be pissed off. They're gonna say, what the hell? This is the wrestling guys episode. I've been waiting for it forever. I want it to be a classic guys episode with Brian doing the research and you will get that. We're going to do a Wrestling Guys episode for the Patreon this week and we will release

it for free in a few weeks as well. So you'll be able to hear that with one guest and Brian doing research. But yeah, this week I got the posts, I'm reading the posts, and we're doing it. You got a ding ding ding ready? We're doing it. Royal rumble. Royal rumble style. Can I tell you, I have one one post, it might be the most one of the dumbest things I've ever seen somebody say. And since you have all the rest I can and it's just me and you. I let me go first here.

Okay, yeah. All right. This guy on our squared circle, which is where the rest of the people go. I know that brother. I was, I was fucking lit. I was bathing in the squared circle this week. I don't actually go to squared circle ever except for just today to look at this. Okay. Um, so this is out, outlaw MC and he's like any companies that do real shoots, is there any companies that do real shoots. Is there any companies that do real shoots like a real match? Well, not fully.

We don't want anyone getting seriously hurt, but matches that aren't predetermined who the winner will be. I'm not much of an MMA fan anymore. I want to see pro wrestling, but a match without predetermined winner. Does this even exist? I've seen brawl for all,

but that was a glorified tough man contest. Well, brawl for all was real fighting. So for anyone who doesn't, who does not remember, that was a short lived thing. And it w it was WWE. It was pretty cool. It was pretty cool. It was like the wrestlers fought each other in real boxing matches. And that's when we discovered Bart gun was like very tough. He kicked the shit out of everybody.

But yeah, I mean, that, that, that's the thing he very tough. He get kicked the shit out of everybody But yeah, I mean that that's the thing. He's saying he doesn't want he doesn't want people to get hurt He doesn't want MMA. He doesn't he doesn't want boxing. He wants wrestling But they don't know who's gonna what so a vertical suplex happen On a real fight. But he it sounds like he wants a wrestling match, but he doesn't want them to know who is going to win. So then how do you determine it?

Is it like whoever is doing better with their move choreographed like, you know, when you're graphing their moves? Can you even fucking imagine the amount of energy you would have to expend to pin somebody to the ground and have them count three. They do it. They do it in real wrestling, Brian. It's quite difficult.

It's not a three count though. It's just a one count because of how difficult it is. And yet it is notoriously difficult. It's a thing you're trying to do. Pinning someone is so hard. Of course, if they're not incapacitated. That's the beauty of this professional wrestling is often the guys will be really dazed and kind of out of it. And then it can be a little bit easier to pin them. But yeah, that's a, that's a really good post. I'm not really sure what it is that he wants, but it does fall in line

with a lot of the stuff that I was learning this week, which is that they definitely know that they want something different than what's happening. They know that they hate everything that's happening and they want it to be different and they have some suggestions as well. And some of them have really thought it through. I was starting to mention we're doing a Royal Rumble style this week. So it's one of the worst ideas I think that anybody's ever come up with in podcasting and we're going to try it. We have, I think eight guests, past guests, favorites of the show who are going to be showing up Royal Rumble style every 10 minutes. We have zero confirmation from the first guest. So we are hoping that he shows up. He is, he doesn't always show up. I will say that. So we'll see how that goes

down. But we have some people who have definitely confirmed they're going to be showing up and reading some stuff with us. Brian, anything about your relationship to wrestling before we do get any guests on? Like when, when did you really get into it? Was there like a moment, a card that really got you into it? There's a moment I barely remember, but I was at funny enough, I was at the bowling alley with my dad cause he's a bowler, right?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's funny. I talked to him, I told you about the day. I talked to him for like two hours and he just talked about cruises the whole time. One of the other things he said was, yeah, that's really not, you know, go down to Evansville, Indiana. Those lanes are so oiled up that, you know, it's much easier to bowl a 300 there than it is in Ohio. So he knows, he knows like,

if he went into, if like all the joking we're doing about the fucking dry ass Bolero lanes, he would be like, that is a hundred percent true. Yeah. And, and he'll say it's that way in Ohio, but like in the whole thing, when I'm down in Indiana and Evansville, Indiana, he lived there for a while. He's like, I bought two, three hundreds there because it's easier. The lanes are oiled. So he said he thinks it's a statewide issue of dry lanes in Ohio. I think he thinks it's a worldwide issue except for in Evansville, Indiana. Evansville is the only city in the world that's doing it right.

Otherwise, I would love to look into it and do a bit of research. Is it like a known thing that that's like a popular bowling place or something? He kept saying they're easy lanes in Evansville. I'm like, I don't even know what that fucking means. And I was trying to kind of goof about it. And he was like, no, I'm serious. Like he was so serious. I was like kind of telling jokes and stuff. And he was like, no, I'm serious. Evansville, they oiled those lanes like crazy. So he was bowled on a cruise ship and said, lanes were

bad on the cruise ship. And yeah, well, well they're at the that's moving around and stuff as well, which can be, but so you were, you're at a bowling alley with your dad and he was pretty serious about what was happening on the lanes and you were probably not so serious about that. He did not look at us one time that night. If I can't remember, but on the television was the Friday night card that was on NBC where the first time Hulk Hogan and Andre faced the last time they faced off before WrestleMania. That was the big slam. The famous big slam. I saw that and I was like, that's sick. Okay. I liked that. But then I just filed her away in my brain. And then a few years later, my brother was like, we're, we're going to go watch WrestleMania at this, at my friend's house. He has a little brother. So I'll bring

you along. You can hang out with his little brother. I'll hang out with him. We got the, and we're going to go watch wrestling. I mean, that's pretty, that's pretty nice. That's pretty nice of him to bring you along little shit little You know weasel or other you were Brian's yeah, I was Brian. Yes. I'm just like eight I don't know. I'd have to look up the exact date, but I was not old. It was pre burr. So it's pre burr Pre burr. Yeah, we ready to bring our first our first wrestler in Yeah Yeah. We ready to bring our first, our first wrestler in. Um, yeah, I mean, I think we can. Uh, if you want to hit that obnoxious countdown that we're going to do every single time. What's going on guys? That is the Martial Man Randy Savage.

That's right folks, we did not get past guests. We have some of the most famous wrestlers from days past. Martial Man, how are you doing? Slim Jims. Yeah, I'm just hanging out there, Chris. Thanks. You know who it is. Yeah, I do know how it is. We got some of the best dead wrestlers here. Can you do Chris Benoit?

Am I dead? Oh, shit. Oh got some of the best dead wrestlers here. Can you do Chris Benoit? Am I dead? Oh, shit. Oh, yeah. You died a while ago. Oh, no. That was very you. Hey, that ain't good for me. That ain't good news, brother.

You know what? Unfortunately, it's the inevitability of life, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Have you ever looked at an old... Can I ask, you ever looked at a picture of the macho man Randy Savage like in the last few matches before he died? Because that is a hard, that's a man that went hard.

His skin, he went hard and his skin seems to have taken the brunt of it somehow, you know? His skin was some of the leatheriest. He had, he had one of the leathery but thin at the same time, brother, somehow. Yeah. He had a deep, deep alarming tan that he kept. Yeah. He looked... They all get that. There's no reason they still do it. They forget about my beady eyes. Oh, yeah. When you would do the man cow thing where you take off your sunglasses and everyone's shocked at how beady your eyes are and they get scared. Nobody liked it.

Everybody hated it. They kept asking me to stop, but I was far too unpredictable backstage. And that is a true thing about The Macho Man, unfortunately. DB, folks, we got to introduce you properly. It's our first ever guest in the history of guys. It's Mike Hale from YKSAK. DB, Mike, thanks for coming on. What's up, B-H up? There's the end of

Yeah, his late era was a was an odd look. He was well, but it's cool that he didn't. It's cool. He never went gray. He has the sprayed on beard. Like, like, it's not when you say sprayed on beard, like it actually looks like it's sprayed on like not hair He's doing that thing where like people do where it's like I have to like overcompensate for the gray or whatever Just let it go. Yeah Yeah, it does really he really does look so bad. He looks really horrible. We should get to some posts I just want to make sure let me tell you though, what happened. I went to WrestleMania four, which is widely considered one of the

worst WrestleMania, but I was sitting there and the kids uncle was there too. Right. And I remember the kid that you went to his house. Yeah. Okay. We're at this kid's house and his family's there. His uncle's there. We're watching resume for he's like, I don't even know why. I don't even know why they do these tournaments. The macho man is just going to pay off the goddamn referee. And he was legit. Not much of a million dollar man. He was legit.

Every bad call the referee made is like, God damn it. Yeah, that's the good old days. They celebrated so hard. Come on, ref. He's right there. He threw. Yeah. He was mad. That's the good old days. He celebrated so hard. Come on, ref. He's right there. He threw the sand right in his face. God damn it. Are you literally blind? It's right in front of you.

Yeah, the I love the guys who are even if they're like, you know, they kind of know at the end of the day, they're just like playing in their mind. They've convinced themselves in that moment. I also love the idea like that. It's just this corruption bullshit. It's like it doesn't matter who's the best fucking fighter. Not much. I mean, a million dollar man in his deep pockets are just going to pay.

He has enough to pay off the rest, but not enough to buy the league. I mean, I think they're probably they probably did a storyline where he bought it. I would imagine. No, no, no. I don't think that ever happened because he was gone pretty quick. You look at that, like he gets out of there and he's on WCW and they're like, they're not allowed to call him the million dollar man. So they're like, oh, it's a rich guy that owns the NWO.

Oh yeah, that's right. It was like, cause they couldn't say, they're like Ted DiBiase is here. You know, he has a lot of money. Just to be clear though, just to be clear, DiBiase is legit from the territory days. He's a legit guy. He was mid-south. He did proper territory wrestling. He's a legend. So he's a face famous baby, baby face when he that's true, Brian. He was a baby

face in the territories and they became one of the most famous heels when he joined the big core companies. Let's get to a post. I love doing these because I get to really feel Brian's struggle of trying to read any posts whatsoever, but I'm really trying to do it now. I just pulled up another photo of Randy Savage. Which version was your favorite? He let it go gray in the end. So good on him for that. Somebody came to him and said, die with a little dignity, sir. If I had to pick my favorite macho man,

I'm going to go not with TNA macho man. No, I think I'll probably go with one of the ones where he was in fighting age and doing very well. So this first post that I have comes from, we've hit a lot of forums, but this one is from Wrestling Forum, which've hit a lot of forums, but this one is from Wrestling Forum, which is quite a big forum, Wrestling Forum. Never heard of it. Yeah, Brian's never heard of it.

I'm not much of a wrestling guy, huh? So this is a post from Shawnee, and this is a very recent post from 2024 October. It says, when I hear a person who says they don't like wrestling because it's fake all I can think of is Well, do you watch films and soaps you think they are real? Yeah, I say that too I'll say that to this day Like if I go and some old guy says it like if an old guy says, you know, it's fake I'm like so is breaking bad bitch So it's fake. I'm like, so is breaking bad bitch. So this is something maybe that you could take the hard thing because

this this it finishes here. And you can maybe use this as well. Just say you don't like wrestling instead of putting the fake thing in because it is art. Just to see I have. See, I hate guys that call it art. So this is a big thing that I have, that I did learn was that is the number one argument. Which first off, it's the number one thing that the wrestling guys are dealing with is people are constantly reminding them of the fact

that this thing is very fake and not just fake, but they're also being told often that it's fake as well as gay. And that is a big childish. Don't forget about it's for children. Yeah, but I did notice there's a lot of in fact, you know, I searched on the Wrestling Observer forum for the term gay and it just had far too many results to even, you know, have them show up. It's a big issue for them and that's their big response is to say, hey, if you think this is fake, let me tell you a little something about your favorite television shows and movies.

I guess that pretty much ends the debate. I got news for you about your favorite days of our lives or general hospital shows. They're all fake as well. Yeah, I have some bad news for you. Those people are married to other people in real life. Often. No. The gay thing is funny because like, uh, I would categorize wrestling fandom in 2024 as a little more, uh, uh, tolerant of that sort of thing than it was back in the day.

Because back in the day, they'd be like, this guy's a bad guy. Why is he a bad guy? He's gay. He acts a little gay. And that's what makes him a bad guy. Yeah, it's not really it's not so much like there doesn't seem to be all this huge homophobe. It's more they're defending themselves from the idea from other people who are trying to tell them that it is something that looks gay. That's them going. It's a guy saying, I'm not watching it to whack my pud, okay? I'm just watching it because I like it because it's art.

So we have a reply here to this from J Omega says Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man. That's real life and not just a gimmick, LOL. Oh, that'sick. LOL. Yeah, I like to think of ready to call it a gimmick. I love wrestling guys that are like, Oh, yeah, it's like not. Robert Downey Jr. plays Iron Man. It's like Robert Downey Jr. is gimmick is Iron Man. Yeah, actually. Yeah, they talk about everything in wrestling terms. And this is this guy, J omega says I like to think of wrestling

almost like a live action comic book. Good, bad, and morally gray characters all involved in stories that never really end. Eventually there's big blow off battles, but the overall story just keeps going on with new characters in the spotlight. Would you agree with that, Brian? I want to say this. I like the comic book thing, maybe a little better than I like art because something happened like 2017, 2018, where it just turned into this thing where these guys were writing these big flowery essays about wrestling storylines. And, uh, I, and they were like, it's art. It's actually like a very artistic endeavor. And I was like, no, don't do that. It's a carny thing. That's why were like it's art. It's actually like a very artistic endeavor and I was like no don't do that

It's a carny thing. That's why we like it But Brian that I just I do want to inform you that they are still doing that a lot the thing that you were talking I know Having all the time. I'm Kono down Kono says no just one second. I just want to read this final Reply here. This is this is a good thing if somebody sort of final reply here. This is a good thing if somebody is talking to you in this way. It says, if someone cannot understand how wrestling works, take into consideration that his brain possibly can't grasp complex concepts. I would say don't even bother talking to him if he doesn't understand how wrestling works. Yeah, I guess we, hey, we've got another person coming in here. Let's do the countdown again.

Oh my god! It's Destiny 4 lore! Holy shit folks. Well, hey, this is, this is like in wrestling terms. I guess we got the two halves of the tag team like as tag team like as kind of cool when they do that in a Royal Rumble, you know, it's like, oh shit, there's there's genetic. There's Michaels now. Yeah. Brian gonna throw Chris out of the ring is is genetic. Sorry, can we go back to who's genetic and who's Michael's? I'm sorry. I'm sorry to say, Jesse, that you are genetic and genetic. And he's the better wrestler. He's a better technical wrestler. And honestly, at the end of the day, I mean, he had a tough time. Did he pass away genetic?

No, but he did post recently about it was like a 17 year old girl. And he was like, this girl says she's my daughter Should I fuck her or something really weird? So he's not doing well Not be genetic just Hang on a second Jesse because believe it or not even though that's a case Shawn Michaels much worse guy He's horrible and ever I mean he's also terrible as well and done Worst guy he's horrible and ever I mean he's also terrible as well and done Brian just said maybe kind of would undercut Shawn Michaels parked wherever and got like massive tickets and stuff

Is slightly slightly rude to some of the other wrestlers sometimes. Actually, I got off light. Yeah, he was a big time Christian freak, though, and he's ruining wrestling. If I don't really want to hear me go off on my high horse, Shawn Michaels is ruining wrestling. So I didn't know that about Jeanette. You know, I just thought Jeanette was like I saw that documentary about him or whatever. It seemed like he had been struggling with substance abuse, but he had quite a bit of respect from the other wrestlers. But I guess probably not.

This is the post from Facebook. If you loves me as much as I loves you, you will give your opinion. Just did a DNA test two weeks ago. She's not my daughter. We both held out of sex because you don't do that. But now that we ain't from a guy's side, she's hot. She's dot she's been daughter.

I want to too, but can't get past that. So this is like a OPNC, Anthony type of post. Yeah. Okay. Jesse, I'm going to go ahead and say, you don't have to be genetic anymore. I see what you fuck a woman you thought was your daughter. Um, just a mere two weeks ago, even if DNA test, Jesse just removed his microphone from the front of his face. And you'll go ahead and eliminate me, bro. I don't want to. All right.

Well, listen, folks, some people can't handle the fire in the kitchen. And if that's the case and you want to fucking have that kind of attitude, well, go ahead and get out there. Jesse leave. Jesse. Has been eliminated from the show. Jesse, please disconnect your camera and microphone. Jesse is God now. That's what can happen. Can I get kicked off? That's what can happen if you become disrespectful to the hosts on the show. Here's a picture of Marty Janetti too I can show you real quick. We can do some little Marty Janetti stuff.

This is a cool picture of him. I'm not sure that the Janetti stuff is really going over. I think we should maybe consider getting off of Janetti. It does look like he's having fun holding on to two regular looking women's titties. Yeah, I mean, they're all they listen, least in that photo. These are older women that he's holding on to their titties. But yeah, let's let's get off of Janetti. Let's try to not talk about Janetti anymore.

Let's head over to that. Listen, Shawn Michaels is 10 times worse. The way he's thinking of that wrestling. Yeah. Oh, oh, yeah. He yeah. Brian is talking about from a wrestling standpoint. Shawn Michaels is a terrible guy. You know, like by all accounts, is a really mean guy, but not not like. Anyways, let's let's get off of genetic and move over to our squared circle.

And here's an important question. When you tell people you like wrestling for the first time, how do they generally react? For me, I get mostly, you mean the fake stuff? And I never would have thought you'd like wrestling. I did get a, I'm embarrassed for you today, which was kind of surprising. Ha ha ha.

That's funny. That's actually very funny reaction to it. I mostly get like, no, you don't. Like a lot of people just don't wanna believe that somebody, my dad, man, is so let down by the fact that I like wrestling and country music I wish I could have him on country music you like rap I do like rap no but your dad your dad's giving you like a jz tape or something like is he upset like what kind of music is it

what kind of music does your dad listen to that? He doesn't like country. Yeah, he likes like like ELO classic rock. Well, yeah, but pink Floyd. Yeah. Yeah classic rock Okay, he always says they don't play the stuff I like on the radio Hmm, that's cool, but he never explains what that is. You know who he really likes He doesn't know what to get it from a mm. To f.m. That's the problem It's only playing the talk stuff. They're never playing the fucking Led Zeppelin and the pink Floyd that I like What he loves is his favorite thing and he's been trying to get me to go is a trans Siberian orchestra Hmm, like that is him the only concert he's been to in probably 40 years is TSO. He goes every year and he says, he calls it TSO.

Wow. And he's like, you gotta see it. They play the guitar so good. And they're doing Christmas song. Actually they do a story in the background, which I found out that the story in the background of the TSO concert is that a woman-

You looked up the story? That's you can't do that. Yeah, cause we just did a Christmas. That's yeah. Cause I, we just did a Christmas. We just did a Christmas episode, but the story is about a woman and kid who die in childbirth and the husband has to go through a really tough life. And a lot of the reviews are like, yeah, could the story be a little less sad here to listen to some Christmasy heavy metal. I'm sorry, I'll get us back on task.

Oh, thanks, Brian. Actually, that's nice. We could maybe use that in regular episodes. It's like when they're fighting. It's like when somebody comes out and they're all fighting and brawling. Yeah. And then the guy just keeps ringing the bell like they're gonna be like, Oh shit. I might have to call out you to ring that a few more times as, you know, we fill up with people here. But this is a reply, remember, to people when you first tell them that you like wrestling, how do they react? You know, you're saying people are embarrassed for him.

This person responded, I have a CM punk sticker on the back window of my new F 250. Fuck. I don't like it. That's the punker. That's punk attitude. That's attitude. That sort of attitude era. And got a very cool response from Mother Love Bone 27. It's kind of a cool little story. I took that attitude a bit too far once. You like wrestling? You know, it's fake, right?

All smug. My response. Wait, don't you believe in God? He looked at the ground for a couple minutes before changing the subject Can you imagine that scene playing out where he says that thing and two to three minutes go by? Just kicking around his feet and staring at the crowd My mind about a lot of shit Not only do I believe God is real, but I believe wrestling is real now like Goes to his next thing and he's like that's some of that stuff that wrestling guys do is pretty crazy Thankfully the person who said it, they said, I felt bad. But well, you go around

with your Bible preaching. John 316, Austin 316 says, I just whooped your ass. Famous. Famous. That's famous. That's from Jake, the snake Roberts, Jake, the snake Roberts. Was the subject of that Stone Cold Steve Austin set. Yes. Thank you. No, of course. That's what I'm saying. Jake the snake Roberts was very religious and would always quote Bible stuff. And he was in a feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin. That's where the very famous I didn't know that very, very such a good guy. Who? Jake the Snake. Yeah, well he's no- He never had any problems. He's no genetic. I mean, he-

Alright. Hey Brian, as I'm bringing up Jake the Snake, do you want to start talking about his father for 10 to 15 minutes? Jeez. Oh my. It's under from down under our only international guest for the show. It's Tom Walker. Tom, how are you? I'm so good, Chris. Thank you so much for having me.

I'm here to run house on these jabronis. Oh, he's the Chris Benoit of the show. That's right. Thank you so much for having me. I'm here to run house on these jabronis. Oh He's the Chris Benoit of the show. That's right. What does that mean? I Just killed my family and myself and I'm here to kind of take care of some unfinished business Hey Tom really sorry to hear that was a big fan of Demi don't like to hear that news, but We gotta move forward here Yeah, we Tom, do they have wrestling in Australia? We actually do. Yeah, we actually do.

Yes, they have one of the most vibrant indie scenes in the world. Oh, okay. Is that true, Tom? Okay, then move here. Who are you talking about? Hey, no, no, we do have wrestling here. There's actually been a few exports of recent years. I think our...

Tony Storm, Slex, the business. His name's Slex. S-L-E-X. And now he goes by the business. Now might be a good time for me to reveal that, of course, I don't know any of them because, you know, I don't I don't follow wrestling too much anymore. But yeah, no, we have like, I think there's something about the the amount of personal trainers and also loud people that Australia produces where we're actually well positioned to make a lot of progress. There's a lot of people who are just sort of already like sort of ready for it. They

just need to learn how to do a suplex or whatever. Yeah. There's a lot of people who are violent and want people to look at them over here. Yes, of course the Bra Boys. We all know the Bra Boys. We all know the Bra Boys. The Bushwackers. Bushwackers, I said.

The Bushwackers, that was one of the first, the only live. I loved those guys when I was a kid. I was like nine years old doing that shit. Oh, I saw him live, TV. I saw him live at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver for, and my dad tells a story all the time. He took my brother and I when I was four years old

to a WWF event, and it was WWF at the time. And he said it was like the scariest experience he ever had. He was like, this is like really a dangerous situation that I should not have brought my children to. And it was like, really, because I was like in the 90s, like when it was like, it was people were really into it. It was like, and there was still some people who kind of believed it still, do you know what I mean? Like the K-Fabe, as we learn about was not completely gone at that point. We're learning right now, Tom, about what people say when you tell them that you like

wrestling. This is a post from Reddit where somebody is saying, hey, how do people react when you tell them that you like wrestling? This is from MrRedT-Rex, and he says, girls think I'm an idiot. So that's the response that he gets. I would not tell. Here's the thing. If I was single, never will be. Never would I wouldn't be doing the show with you.

It's disgusting. There's nothing grosser. If I was a single guy, I would not tell a woman that I liked professional wrestling for a really long time into the relationship. There's really no reason to talk about pro wrestling. No, I think there is where we're going to learn about that. There is, you don't want to get into a relationship with someone and then find out later on. And then boom, now you're in a relationship and you're like, I love wrestling. She's like, I hate it. You want to find someone who, you know, loves and respects the things that you love. Now, is it going to be easy

with the wrestling thing? No, it's going to be the worst thing I would never. I'm so glad I did actually. I've told the story in the past. Me and Katie started dating because I had, I lived in, believe it or not, I lived in the apartment that everybody partied at I would be considered Did you find an orange? Did you find? study and these guys are He's in his like Test tomorrow It wouldn't be such an issue if I wasn't volunteering before my classes

tomorrow but... Mightn't we bring this down, my dear boys? My candle is guttering upon my saucer! Dude, Brian, you need to chill out. Try this. That's where it all gets wrong. They pass him a single caramel bar. Just go...

You gotta relax, man. Take a hit off of this. us a single caramel. I just talked about this, but that was the apartment I lived in where I did the math on acid and was like, okay, so one hit acids, $5 last eight hours. Weed is way more expensive and lasts a way shorter amount of time. So why don't we just do acid every day? So we did that for like a summer and a fall. I want to laugh at you, but I definitely had times in my teenage years, I did drug math like that, you know, where it was just like, well, the ecstasy is going to get me high for six hours on a fucking $5 pill. You know, it's that's normal. I think.

But so in that house, this is the attitude are when stone cold Steve Austin has like really tough. So I was into all the wrestling, right? I used to go to this guy's house and sit on his bed with him and two other guys. Did you know? We would go to his house and sit in this guy's bed, like three or four of us next to each other. I had this friend, Andrew, in high school, who I would go over to his house and I would stay the night at his house and we would both sleep in the same bed and stuff.

We would stay up watching like Evolution or something, the movie Evolution with Sean William Scott. Oh, sweet, I remember I'd wake up and be like soaking wet with sweat and then DVD menu would be playing and stuff Yeah, so we're yeah, we would sit at this guy's house He had a bong made out of a Goldschlager bottle and his parents let him smoke cigarettes and weed in his bedroom Mm-hmm, because they just think they they were just figured is better there than elsewhere.

Right. I guess. But they also let us all come over there and smoke cigarettes and weed in his bed. They didn't want their kid to be a loner. Well he was very much. He never left his house ever ever ever. Oh yeah. Last time I saw him.

Exactly. Why would you leave your house? I ever met so many places outside your house you're not allowed to smoke or drink. So he's one of those guys that's kind of psycho, like a guy that you know, or like you could be in and out with him, he'll be like, all of a sudden he's like,

I don't like him. Like Jared a few times, like I don't like Kweeber. Yeah, yeah. Please don't bring him over here anymore. So then my friend Nate, two would have I don't like Does roll off the tongue real easy Brian? I think that might you know, that's an easy sentence to say and for good reason the leader of the violence gang makes a few enemies Violence gang Tom. Oh

Well, no worries. So he was so he was in your gang And so there would be like sort of, but that happens in gangs. I see it when I watch documentaries and stuff, there's like a falling out or whatever, like different factions, like maybe like these guys joined the, you know, the Kweber faction and these guys stayed with Jared or whatever. It was usually somewhere. Gerald was like, I don't like quaver anymore. He thinks he's better than me. Hmm. Like that kind of thing. Not, I can't really wrap my head around. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's better than anyone. I know. And I wasn't the leader of a violence game. Chris always says the leader. I was

in a crew of people that hung out together and I was not important to the thing. Well, you were very important to it. You were the guy they said I was kind of yeah You're the guy they said there to ride get people all riled up the muscle, you know, he wasn't no no I was not he was that he was the weak little annoying guy Who would piss everyone off and then they would want to fight and then fucking the muscle was porno Sean who would walk up? And fucking just straight knock guys out. He didn't care how old they were Sean who would walk up and fucking just straight knock guys out. He didn't care how old they were.

You're going to be in and out with Jared. He would hate you that he'd like you and hate you. And I remember at the time we were watching wrestling over there. Every Monday, we would switch back and forth between raw and Nitro. And he stopped liking me, but I have my own apartment kind of at this time. My friend had an apartment that I lived in and didn't pay any rent. But I lived there. Um, and, uh, so I was like, nobody is allowed at this house during wrestling at all. The party house is closed down from eight to 10 every Monday night.

You are not allowed here. So then one night I'm sitting there watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and get into his antics and somebody runs into a tree in front of my apartment little sapling tree and it turns out it's my wife. My now wife, she was very drunk as well. The only time she ever drove drunk, she hit the tree with her Nova stumbled into the house and I was like, you know, you're not supposed to be here. Did

you know her before this? I did. We were friends, but she was specifically one of the people that cause I didn't, I listen, I said, no women are allowed here cause they talk through the wrestling. Yeah. Who's that? Oh, that? Why's he mad? Yeah, I mean, they're gonna jump through the whole thing. And it's just like they think he's powers. You don't have powers, dude. God damn. He just jumps around. I don't. Last one did. Last one did. The walks well to the ring, man.

He had some powers. That was the exception to the rule. The Undertaker is kind of, he exists out of its fiction that we've built. I understand. I understand it just sounds like they're just kind of noodling on the guitar, but like there's something to be listening to here, honey. You got to stop the chomping. You got to keep chomping out of it.

The drunk driving meat, Qt, another casualty of our woke movie industry Something you could not right now. I don't do that anymore So I was losing my mind on her just yelling errors her my sister And I'm yelling and I'm pissed. You know what I mean? And then so she started crying. Ah, I know. But ah, gee, now I feel bad about the whole thing.

So then I had to go apologize to her and talk her down because she was a little drunk. And then we kind of started to fall for each other. And now we're married. Let's be that's kind of Each other we started kissing during nightmare and Elm Street five, but it all When the guys on the motorcycle that turns in to I don't know the film. I don't know the scenes Was this after the Wrestling or was it? Yeah, I was on after wrestling. It was in October

That's how we know we started dating in October because a horror movie. What was it? Sorry. Was it that day? It was that night. Yeah. Then the next day she came back over and she was like, hey, I'm your girlfriend. So you so later that evening you kissed you guys kissed and she was so

drunk that she crashed her car. Yes, but then she came back the next day. You know what I mean? Like, we were like, yeah. Her car was there, dude. Yeah, she had to get her car. It wasn't two totally sober people making out. You know what I mean?

It was, at no point is anyone saying, and you were stone cold sober. We aren't saying that. No, no, no. The only thing stone cold in that house that night was Steve Austin. No doubt about it. But that's how we ended up. That was the that was the night that our love happened. She showed up during wrestling and then the next week, the next week, I said, do not come

over here during wrestling. And she and she didn't. She did. And that's how you knew. And she she didn't she did. And that's how you knew. Yeah, that's how I do. I was going to marry that. I'm going to marry that girl. And you look at your watch and you see it. Ross about to end and you look outside and nobody's there. And you're like, hey, you're married.

Oh, she's the one. Here's that. Here's a good post about what we're talking about, of course, what people say when you tell them that you like wrestling. This is from Jerry Cola. My girlfriend kept saying it was gay and showed her a video of mankind being thrown from hell in the cell at King of the Ring 1998. She still doesn't like it, but I don't get the it's gay comments anymore. It's impossible that that's gay because mankind is so unattractive.

So ugly and grotesque. And he hurts himself so much. And it's like his tooth comes out of his nose and it looks so nasty. And it wouldn't make anybody horny that it's like I think she's got to concede that this is not gay. I still hate it. It sucks. And I guess he feels like that's a pretty big win for him. Brian, you want to hit that? Whoa. I have to do it. I have to do it. Oh, oh, that's Gabris's music.

Everybody's doing the Bushwhackers. Gabris doing the full run out to the ring. You know, that is my favorite ring entrance is the full sprint. Or it's like you cannot wait to fight. You are so wait to fight. You are so excited to fight in the Royal Rumble. You I feels like you want the less time you spend in the ring. The better off you are down the foot. And let me get some water and shit and go in there totally like ready to rip.

I love the guys that are in the Royal Rumble and they're like, you know, that backstage they were like, you're going to need to be in there for most of the things. So he's like, oh, okay. I'll just go lay in the corner and have people pretend to kick me all night. Power up. You watch wrestling at all? You weren't were you? Are you still the wrestling watcher? I probably have like the same 40 year old guy origin story as a lot of people where you know I came up in like that ultimate warrior Hulk Hogan Undertaker world loved it

Got to be a little like a high school kid was like I care less and then WCW versus NWO came out on Nintendo 64 and completely reinvigorated me and I became a Between NWO and Wolfpack. I got back into I had a Wolfpack shirt. I definitely had if if if you don't think my high school health project was DGenerations X and like we had NWO square off of it against DGenerations X and Steve Stone Cold Steve Austin overdose on steroids as we explain the dangers of steroids.

It was just an eight minute backyard wrestling bit. My health teacher was like, all right. It had to be hell for teachers at that time because they were constantly dealing with wrestling in a way that was Jackass out at the same time, like that combination was that. Oh, that was Jackass was a bit later, like during Attitude Era type of stuff, I think. All those dipshits that liked wrestling

started watching Jackass. That's what happened. I am dipshit. Hear me roar. Yeah. Teachers must have been told to suck it like one million times. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, dude.

Did you guys do the thing where you had backyard trampoline wrestling federations and stuff like that? We did it. I had one, one of my friends made like a wooden belt and stuff. We had like at parties or sleepovers, we would watch the PVVs and stuff and do backyard trampoline wrestling. I never did that when I was younger, but I did know a group of people who did it

that we would make fun of a lot. So I'll just go, I honestly, I thought it was, I thought it was like, I just didn't have the like, I couldn't do it. Do you know what I mean? Like, I didn't have the ingenuity to get it done, but we did that type of shit where you're just like jumping off of our carport onto like a bunch

of fucking mattresses and stuff. You know,'re just like jumping off of our carport onto like a bunch of fucking mattresses and stuff, you know, like just like stupid ass shit like that try to do our own little wrestling But we never took it that far I mean I actually after I went to after I watched WrestleMania 4 with my brother We were all about like how can we get involved in this wrestling? Didn't quite understand that it was fake? And I did get DDT'd shoot DDT'd onto a tree stump. Like, because we didn't know, we didn't know it was fake. So my brother fucking put my head in his hand with it sticking out of

the bottom because a DDT doesn't work if it's not all the way down on my head. And I started crying. I had to run in a house everybody has um my friend Andrew had a Farm his parents had a farm where they raised horses So they had this big horse barn and they had a bunch of old mattresses that they put on the ground yeah inside this barn and we had a big party there and like we had a big wrestling match on there and there were mattresses on the walls of the

barn or something to for safety and somebody hit me over the head with a Lunch tray that they stole from the lunchroom and a piece of plastic got lodged right there under my eyeball And it was like sticking out of my face Everybody thought I was like gonna go to the hospital or something, but I just pulled it out. Not good stuff to do. What kind of wrestler does it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You had it already.

You were like, you almost had what it takes to be a hardcore wrestler. I thought you went over in the corner and put it under your eye. Oh yeah. It's bleeding. I pulled the lunch tray out of my shirt. That's known as playing in the industry.

Yeah, they were right. Actually only professionals do that. You shouldn't at home go into the horse barn. You leave that for the WCW guys. That when they said that horse barn, it was so cool that in the early 2000s, it was such a huge epidemic that WWF had to be like, don't do backyard wrestling, please on their TV show.

They have to do like GI Joe PSA is like, hey, it's actually dangerous to suplex your little. I think more than teachers, wrestling has been awful for little brothers everywhere. I think little brothers got the worst of professional wrestling because I have two younger brothers and I would be like, all right, hold on. I think we know how to do a choke slam now and it would be like, oh, and then if you got a friend with a pool and you could do like like shit into a pool, that was like. And of course, I'm only referring to above ground pools. I was not in a building. Yeah, I figured the Columbus scumbag crew could wrap their head around this. I'm only referring to above ground pools. I was not in a built in.

Yeah, I figured the Columbus scumbag crew could wrap their head around this. All right. We got out. Yeah, we got our next competitor is showing up here. You want to hit that? He's going to have to throw somebody over the ropes. So whichever lucky person. Why? Why? Why? Can we only have a certain amount of people on the call? No, I think we're good It's Tom Sexton everybody we got our second home of the show double Tom. Hey Tom, what's up, man?

Damn, you guys are going for it. Yeah, we're serious about the Royal Rumble thing. Yeah, we're pretty serious about it. And it, you know, it's, it's devolving sort of at the level that you'd expect it to. I'm excited. One thing I'm happy about is we do have Gabris on here who has experience with the power hour and things like that, where there might be a lot of people, but it's getting a little bit wild. Tom, what's your, your wrestling guy? Were you a wrestling guy? Well, I overheard y'all talking about backyard wrestling.

I was just telling somebody this story earlier. I have a cousin named Garth who's super tall and redheaded as the day is long. And when we were little and I could still beat him up, he had died. His flock of red hair blue, and he wore a, um, like a denim sleeveless cutoff jacket that had the American flag on the back with just boss springsteen written under it. And his whole thing was he carried this little baseball bat that he'd wrapped in barbed wire.

I mean, it was like, you know, like it was assumed like you can't use this, but you can just kind of carry it to the trampoline as a thing. The night that he debuted it, he walked out to the trampoline. We had the very primitive entrance. Before WWF, the theme music was available to buy a CD or whatever. We'd get a very janky copy offline and like kind of record it with cassettes and then play it. And we would wrestle or whatever. And he comes out to the trampoline and he says, I know what you guys must be thinking. And yeah, it's true.

I am a little sick and twisted. Forgot that. I hate saying this because it's kind of embarrassing, but I think when I was 18, I know on this show when I was 18 or 19, that that time when Katie came over, we, we got together and all that stuff. I remember like talking to her after wrestling was on cause like I said, she wasn't allowed over when it was on, but it was on. I'd be like, I just don't know why they won't let Steve Austin do what he wants to do. Like why are they always trying to keep him from doing it? Like I could not wrap my mind around the fact that I knew it was fake, but I thought there's some real things going on. And like

that, it was like this in the early nineties too, where people were like WWF. Yeah, that stuff's fake, but WCW that's real. Yeah. You see WCW came out. Yeah. Yeah. Like UFC. That's like Mortal Kombat. I mean, like the mass transit incident obviously was, it did become real if like New Jack was involved in the math ever. But that's a good, and Brian's talking about Katie and, you know, reiterating the story where she came over so drunk that she crashed her car and they ended up falling in love. There's a post here from r slash squared circle, how to get girlfriend to begin enjoying and understanding wrestling. Don't just don't.

Why do you have to watch the same shit? As a matter of fact, as you get older, you'd like nothing more than to have a separate hobby than your girlfriend. Dream come through. Yes, dude. I can't Wednesday at eight o'clock. She goes upstairs.

I sit downstairs I play with Legos and watch dynamite that sounded Miracle that you're not the most like cheated on man alive Everybody but gamers on his call. Tom, have met her. She is very normal, by the way. She's like the nicest, sweetest, most normal person ever. It's shocking. Fundamentally, we don't know what it is yet, but something that brings her to big daddy cool Brian.

There is nothing. That's what I'm talking about. We don't know. But when you meet her, she's just like, I'm not just saying that. She really is one of those people where you're just like where you could not have a bad thing to say about her. She just is like, she lights up the room with nice. She's just so nice, you know?

And then you find yourself looking at her, just being like, yeah, what's going on? You know? What's up? What do you have to? Link twice if you need me to get you out of here. Yeah. This guy, Party Poison says, I've finally done the impossible. I've gotten my girlfriend to ask me to show and explain wrestling to her.

Now, the real question is where to start. I was thinking to start with Max Landis is wrestling isn't wrestling to give her a basis of what the medium truly is, but I'm not sure. Maybe I should show her a relatively short bit, but exciting match like done versus bait and see if it hooks her. What do you guys think? So we do have some, we have some replies here. Um, somebody does say, which I think this is nice as you really shouldn't start with wrestling, isn't wrestling considering everything that's

happened to land a sense. And it's horrible. It's so watch it, Just watch it for yourself and you'll be like, this fucking sucks. Yeah. Even if it was really good, you know, you talk my wife into liking helicopters. So we're going to watch. Why not? And also Pete Dunn and Tyler Bate. That shit sucks too. I know that's like really inside or whatever. Yeah Good watch Hulk Hogan versus the ultimate warrior from WrestleMania 5 watch that Technical jobs neither of them had the technical chops, you know, their in-ring game wasn't strong enough And you know, it was all hype and I prefer the technically moves in that match

enough and you know it was all hype and I prefer the technical moves in that match by the way the finisher is a scoop slam it's one of the most electric things you can ever want ultimate warriors the word single worst wrestler who's ever been in the ring he like didn't even know how to wrestle and he refused to learn even like stinging headings to be a tag team and sting eventually got good he like developed developed. He was terrible, like the ultimate warrior. But then the ultimate warrior is just like, no, I'm already so great and I'm the headliner. So who gives a shit? So he would go and he just couldn't even wrestle.

But he was so fucking good that, you know, like comedy guys who are just energy, right. And somehow managed to sell a crowd without writing jokes or totally. That's yeah. Ultimate warrior was that he was just truly, I mean, I was obsessed with him. Like truly, I wanted to be him. And then every time he cut a promo and you learned like what he believed the ultimate warrior's lore was, it's like the craziest shit. That's when you're like, I'm trying to keep, I'm trying to like, like Brian was saying earlier, that struggle you have like with wrestling and Santa Claus, as you learn more and you're like, maybe it's not real, but you don't want to admit it.

So you're like, my mom works for Santa Claus, you know, like you say, so I changed it like that and your ultimate warrior and like Papa Shango and Undertaker really stretched. You're like, all right, I'm supposed to believe this guy, the reincarnation of thousands of warriors from Valhalla. The reincarnation of thousands of warriors from Valhalla. Okay! Man, those promos. The thing about the comedy you just said, Gabris, is exactly right.

Because those promos, if you watch them, they don't make any sense. Yeah, they don't make any sense. If you write them down on paper, the stuff that... The people have done that where they transcribe Ultimate Warriors. Yeah. He's like, I need this note for fucking a wrestler wrestler or something just goes on these long tangents and just doesn't mean anything. I love steroids and I've always loved steroids.

I'm a lifelong fan of PEDs. I just I see the ultimate warrior and I'm like I wish I looked like that and people like but he died young and it's like yeah but he looked like that. And people like, but he died young. And it's like, yeah, but he looked like that. He looked so good. That was what he thought too, right? He was like a super insecure. That was his whole thing. He was like super insecure.

And he's like, I wish I looked like that. And then he just went to steroids. And then he started looking. I was a thin guy that knew he was going to go bald in his 20s. You know what I mean? And like the ultimate war comes out. He's on steroids and he's vascular and his hair is just as thick as hell.

Looked like he should have been in poison. Yeah, he really did have incredible hair and real hair. Like it wasn't it was just like this real natural. Was he supposed to be like the net? You guys he thought of himself as the next ascended to like a Hulk type person. Sure. He had a full ass head of hair too. Hulk Hogan is so funny.

I think one of the funniest things in the world Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man when you like look at them when they were at their height and they were both like ugly bald guys. Yeah. And both, they were the color of hot dogs. Yeah, yeah. And they had just jet black beards. Yeah, we talked about it in the beginning when just Evie, Ryan and I were here. We looked at some photos of the Macho Man at the end of his life and he did a number on his skin, you know what I mean? Truly, I think one of the moments the scales fall from your eyes

with wrestling and you realize they are just kind of like ugly, decrepit guys. The first time you see Hulk Hogan without the bandana, like holy, that's like no one's ever had that, that hair configuration. Like no one's ever kept the lie going when everyone knows the lie is a lie. I think we all, I think we all saw it for the first time, of course, in the same place. We all saw it on the bubble love sponges security camera. I will say that Vince McMahon would have probably paid billions of dollars

for a bandana that stays on while you wrestle. Oh, yeah. That's the issue with Hogan. It was like he had the bandana on when he came out and you could be fooled. I did this when I was in my twenties. I grow my hair real long on the sides and then wear a hat. And then you're walking around, you're like, these guys probably got the most hair in the world. Nobody would be walking around with long hair like that. Imagine that head of hair underneath that hat.

I've always suspected Jay Mascis was bald using that same tactic. It's such a smart move, because then it's like I would have the hair wing out on the sides. Oh, hell yeah. The P-wings, the P-wings, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd be so balding, but it would look like, man, this guy, he just, he doesn't know what to do with his hair. He doesn't want to be up brushing it all day. So he just puts the hat on. Yeah, yeah. They're just like, you figure the people who are seeing you are like, man, this guy, he just he doesn't know what to do with his hair. He doesn't want to be up brushing it all day. So he just

put it out on. Yeah, they're just like, you figure the people who are seeing you and like, Hey, this guy who's got a hat on every day. Beautiful head of hair. I have the problem where I wear a hat all the time. And I don't have like, but I'm not bald. But I wear my hat all the time. And I have for a long time. And yeah, I think probably most people assume that I'm very bald. And I just my hat all the time and I have for a long time. And yeah, I think probably most people assume that I'm very bald and I just have to accept that.

You guys do like Brian did and wear the Rasta hat with the built in dreads. So everyone thinks you have that's right. I do wonder, I do wonder at times how mad Hulk Hogan is at Stone Cold Steve Austin for like shaving his head bald. He's like, the motherfucker got over. And then Hulk Hogan never shaved his head. He still goes out with the bandana and the long hair on. And then there's also rumors that the fucking guy wears a bandana with hair sticking out of the box. 100% what he's got.

You said Vince McMansion have done the science research. He got in touch with fucking Brett Michaels, the other guy famous for a bandana with hair built into it. Vince McMahon took all he took all his power of like, you know, that and he used it to turn himself into an old Hispanic man. Oh, it a czar. Oh, with the mustache, yeah. Oh, we got a new contestant.

Let's hit the countdown. Five, four, three, two, one. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Folks, it's John Collin from the POD cast. This is the person that Brian is going to be the least excited to see on the call. But the only reason for that, the only reason for that. He kicked Jesse out after like two minutes. That's true, Jesse.

For you guys who are on the call right now and you don't realize Jesse Farrar was the second person on the show, but we eliminated him when he made us angry. He brought the pod to a screeching home because he started saying I love Marty Janetti I did shots with Marty Janetti one night at Mulcahy's on He was fucking hammered talking to like 19 year old girl? Brian was just talking about the post that he made on Facebook where he was talking about this this woman says she's my daughter But I took a DNA test and she's not my daughter. Should I fuck her? Jesse's Marty Janetti of the two things. And then Brian brought that up.

And Jesse started saying, I don't want to be Janetti. And we kicked him off the golf. I didn't I didn't realize this was a royal rumble where everyone just stays in. You got it. We're all laying in the corners, heavy breathing, just everyone's kind of just hanging on the road. We're doing a lot of hanging out. The reason I said that, I do want to clarify, it's because

John and Brian just did a very long podcast together like 30 minutes ago. So that's all I want to let everybody know. I've rolled under the bottom rope and I'm hiding outside of the ring. That's exactly what you would do. John, John, what just as you quickly joined, do you still watch wrestling and did you ever watch wrestling? Uh, yes, I watched wrestling, very dedicated attitude era fan of the WWE and then, uh, yes. Okay.

They didn't get the F out until the 2000. The story, yes. They actually got the F out in the middle of the attitude era. So there's really no reason for you to even interject there, yes. They got the F out in the middle of the Attitude era, so there's really no reason for you to even interject there, Brian. Big fan of Saving the Pandas. Yeah, that's right. Exactly. And then, yeah, I would say I still watch it occasionally, but not like a, not a die

hard fan, but I'm aware of what's going on in WWE and AEW. You watch AEW? Yeah, you like AEW. That's true. We're talking about right now. Don't talk bad about a W on here. I'm trying to get a job there. Um, well, I'll have you know. I want to help booking the show. I think I can't wait. Ryan, did you did I tell you who wins and loses, how we tell the stories?

They get me in there. I have ideas. I you almost like Tony Khan. I I have Tony Khan's information. He's the owner of a W. I'm not joking. I sent him an email here on Saturday. He's going to be here on Saturday at the convention center where I take my craps. So I'll already be there taking a crap. Well, maybe a DM.

Do you have like a pitch packet? Usually the way this works, you know, for other jobs is, you know, we kind of see what you would do with the position if you had it. Is there something like a new character you would bring? Maybe someone who like, I don't know. I think I could work. Okay, you have nothing, no ideas.

You just say, okay, none of my own. That's awesome. I work with the characters I could. Okay, you have nothing, no ideas. You just say, okay, no. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Work with the characters I have. Just say, one hello to the author. Brian's gonna meet Tony Khan and be like, look, I don't have anything prepared, but I have a lot of ideas,

and I think you should hire me. And he, Brian thinks Tony Khan is gonna be like, all right, let's sit me out. I mean, honestly, Tony Khan's stupid ass probably would be like that. You would probably be like, yeah, well, I don't. Hey, you'd fit right in with the other bookers here if you got no fucking ideas. Well, that's true. There are about 27 guys working there all with bad ideas.

Yeah, that's why they need me to come in there. Maybe even just have me come in here and be like, whoa, that's a bad idea. Get out of here. Like to the guys that are in there picture ideas, I'll say the bad ideas because I know as a total outsider with no experience in the industry whatsoever. You're saying you want to come in and experience in the industry, actually. So we're going to get back to this. We're going to get back to this post. And that's what you think is as experience in the industry. Yeah, experience watching the industry. And then also, this is how I got to direct.

My first feature was just telling him I've seen a bunch of movies. Yeah, exactly. Ticket. Let me do shang chi. I have been. I would say to Tony first, let me say this. What I would say to Tony Khan first is I would say I went to the first six pay-per-views Okay of all elite wrestling damn. I'm dedicated. I'm your most loyal person

Like when you're having a conversation with a business person that you want to elevate yourself to a position Not like a fan of This guy travels, you know, I mean like he'd be like, God, this guy travels. You know what I mean? Like, he'd look at me like as a guy that's been around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, to come to his shows. Yes, to come to his show. And he'll respect that, too.

He'll love that. Well, I sent him an email, and that's not a joke. So I have his email. Tell him I'll be at the fucking, I'll come over to the convention center. I'll take my crap, and then I'll come and sit down with him and tell him. All my ideas are like, have this guy wrestle this guy, just have a match. And then when it's over, we'll figure out what comes next, which will be, they'll have another match.

Just quickly before we bring on our next guest here, we're talking about how to get your wife into wrestling on a Reddit post here. Walmart West says your problem is you're trying to get her involved in the actual wrestling. You need to get her involved in the story line. So, yeah. So that's a lot of people outvoted that they thought that's a great. And then we got a reply from Schlerbo McBundle who says, I think if you showed anybody a great match, they'd get into wrestling. That has a lot of downvotes.

I guess they're saying women don't understand wrestling. Do you think he's got... Just the worst intro ever. Libby Watson. Hi guys. Quick question. What is wrestling? I was gonna say, this is perfect timing. Hi guys. Quick question. What is wrestling?

This is perfect timing. You can actually tell us, would you care about a five star match Libby? Nobody's saying that. Let's ask, as we've asked all the guests so far, have you ever watched wrestling when you were younger and do you watch wrestling now? Yeah, I watched WWF a ton as a kid and I was really upset that Owen Hart died on my birthday. That's another thing I could tell Tony Khan. I didn't watch it live to be clear. I was watching that live too. I remember that.

I did too, I did too, guys. Wait, wait, can I just stop everyone for a second? Because we brought up the death of Owen Hart and I heard Brian just say that's something else I could tell Tony You elaborate on what you mean by that, right? I'd like I was watching live when when Owen Hart died Great how big of a wrestling fan? All happened from the rough tis I was holding a file in one hand I Remember I remember when Yeah, I remember.

I remember when that pay per view was on. Yeah, I also watched. Oh, go ahead. Sorry. I think. And by the way, everyone, you don't need to worry too much. I am going to edit this episode, believe it or not. So if you feel like, oh, man, don't worry, I'm going to edit the episode. And I have what's known as individual audio tracks.

So that's going to save us a lot. Go ahead, Tom, I want to hear it. What? Oh, no, no, I just thought, you know, it's obviously not funny, the tragedy of Owen Hart's death, but I thought it was funny how they handled it on the pay per view, cutting to badass Billy Gunn and road dog, Jesse James. I was like, something strange is a foot here. And they were just like, prayers up for you, buddy. Keep, keep plugging.

Then they just went to the mat. Yeah. Kudos to the people who decided the show must go on and they should continue that wrestling event, even though the guy had died, you know, I was watching that live. I was watching when the dog face gremlin like broke his neck. And Rick Rick Steiner, he jumped off and did like a flying headbutt and then stopped moving. And then I was also watching live when Papa Shango cursed Ultimate Warrior

for real and made all that black stuff come down his forehead. On his face. That was when I was I was young enough that I was legitimately scared. I was like, this Papa Shango guy should be banned from the fight. Papa Shango is the actual good warrior. He's given the ultimate warrior bad politics, man. He's given him bad politics. He's making him homophobic in real life.

Somebody call a good wizard really quick. We need a good wizard here. We need to good wizard here. We need to get the owner to give her on the phone. We're talking about, I'm the person who's trying to read the posts. And I'm also the one who decided to have eight people on, so don't feel too bad. But we're talking about getting your girlfriend into wrestling. A couple of good ideas. Our one, our friend,

our friend, Schlerbo McBundle replied, you know, to one saying, hey, if you show anyone a cool match, they're going to get into wrestling. That got downvoted into oblivion. But he came himself in the thread to reply and just say, just show her a cool match. So he's standing by it. He thinks that is the key. But this is the final reply we have for how how to get your girlfriend into wrestling and make her interested. This is from Gizy three. And it says, let's show her how a tag team works. Oh, no, that sounds like he's going to fuck her.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, good call, Brian. I hadn't even thought of that possibility, but I think you might be right. Actually, you could be right, actually. You could be right. You think that any of these guys posting in the Reddit, how do I get my wife to watch wrestling, would watch one minute of Below Deck with their partner or anything like that?

No, absolutely not. These people are all like, I need my wife to watch wrestling. She's begging me to watch Real Housewives with her, but that shit's stupid. None of these fuckers watch way back. Yeah, Real Housewives is stupid. It's all kind of fake and choreographed.

Yeah. It's not kind of fake and choreographed. It's not real. Everyone looks insane. There's high-pointed versions of themselves. She's doing the angry mom gimmick, but it's like, yeah, it's not fucking... I will say that if your wife can watch Kazuchika Okada versus, um, uh, what the fuck? Oh, now I forget the guy's name. It's my favorite match ever. And I, this isn't going to go well with Tony con when you have your big meeting. So you're a Shabata versus Kazuchika Okada from dominion. I forget what year it was,

but that one I didn't go to, but I would have gone to. And I did watch and I've watched it several times. It's the one where Shabata almost died. Yeah. Tony con. I was. That one I didn't go to, but I would have gone to and I did watch and I've watched it several times. It's the one where Shabbat almost died. Tony con. I was watching that one. That's the one where the guy head butts another guy and he doesn't do it in a fake way because he wants to be big and strong and he like breaks it. And then Dave Meltzer goes on his, his radio show and says, actually they had to take Shabbat his brain out of his head and put it back in. Dave Meltzer is like a radio show and says, actually, they had to take Shabata's brain out of his head and put it back in. Dave Meltzer is like the big wrestling. People still goof on him for that.

He's the big wrestling journalist basically that everybody hates on all the time. I'm a big Meltzer guy. So I have a very- I'll tell that to Ponycon too. This is a very important post and it's a long one here. And it is from, this one's from Wrestling Forum or Wrestling Observer. The forum said that I got in thanks to producer Dan for giving me his password because that is a closed off forum.

Don't look at any of his posts. I said I won't post anything and he said you can go ahead. So I am going to post some pretty inflammatory threads on there when I'm done with this. This poses a very important question though. Will pro wrestlers ever get the respect they deserve? I'm sure people on here know that pro wrestling is a very tough business mentally and physically but majority of people seem to think pro wrestlers are a joke and wrestling is gay and fake And it is true. I'm telling you that's what everybody says all the time

Reading about this stuff. These guys travel wrestle 300 days a year I mean Hulk Hogan does 400 but have to keep up with gym diet Wrestle a couple times a week while traveling and still manage to keep up in shape. Even with steroids, this is no easy task. Most of them have better bodies than pro bodybuilders, just my opinion, while also being able to wrestle 10, 15, 20 minute matches while bodybuilders seem to get gassed out just by walking, talking most of the time. Okay, let's lay off bodybuilders, man. He's got other people he's going to hammer on to, not just bodybuilders. Take a look at Prime, Batista, Kane, Brock, Drew, et cetera. And tell me these guys don't look better than Coleman and Cutler, for example. They do, at least in my opinion.

These guys are not just walking muscle balls. They actually have very aesthetic physics, physics plus agility, strength and good cardio on top of that. No, some of them have super strength that could rival some of pro strong, also being able to wrestle for 15 to 20 minutes and have aesthetic physiques. Some of them are really good actors. And while it's fun to make fun of some botches and bad mic skills, we got to remember these guys do this live with no second tries most of the time. And actors have multiple tries until they get perfect scenes. I say they're doing pretty good with what

they have. I know this will probably piss off way more people but I think pro wrestling is way tougher than MMA. Now believe it at me let me explain I'm well aware that anything can happen in MMA fights you can even get disabled or die every time you go out. Same goes for pro wrestling. In MMA, you can get knocked out and or knock someone out in 20 seconds, or you could wrestle for 20 minutes and not take much damage or just get submitted and lose quickly. You also fight two to three times a year max. In wrestling, on the other hand, you could also lose quick, but you could go 20 minutes while taking multiple chair shots, slams, get thrown on floor through tables, et cetera, and do it multiple times,

not just one, two, three times a year. So what do you guys think about that? Wrestlers, the toughest, strongest, best guys in the world. I don't think that, but I do agree that wrestling is more dangerous than MMA. I do agree with that because they do insane things that MMA people don't have to do. You know what I mean? Like they jump off of I things and sometimes they die or kill their families. This is the guy that is true. They do that. This is alive too. Jesus Christ. Thank you thank you, Mike. They get buried alive. Yeah, if he ain't doing that shit. Yeah, I'd love to see an MMA guy end up in a casket, get struck by lightning, and then

come out of it later on, months later. John Moe Jones is back! Oh, he's the Joneses, man! Oh my God. I do, I just realized there's a reply to this one. So I want to read the end of his actual post. He posted some more stuff, you know, he says the word disabled a lot in the post. So I'm just, I'm not going to read the whole thing. You know, and it's good. That's the good thing about wrestling is that any, at any time, any one of these guys can become disabled and they don't have health insurance. What do you guys think?

Will they ever be recognized for being some of the hardest working athletes and for putting their lives at risk almost daily for our entertainment? And it gets a reply from the one WWE fan guy and it just says, no, probably not. So I agree, by the way, that like, I don't like to be one of these guys that starts to take wrestling so seriously where I have to defend their athleticism and stuff like that. You know, because there are guys that are like, oh, I mean, I think some of them probably better shaped than a football player. Really. I was going to say, actually, it's like if they want to get mad,

my advice to them is aim higher and get mad about football guys being beloved and famous and rich and stuff. You know, don't bother with the MMA guy. Who the fuck knows about MMA? You know, get mad about Tom Brady. Tom Brady has to pay the circus peanuts anyway. You know what I mean? Tom Brady has been in the WWE, though, I'm pretty sure. Oh, he hasn't gronked. It was. Circus peanuts anyway, you know, I mean, I've been in the WWE though. I'm pretty sure it was

About the ideal male physique being 200 days a year of trim bloat and then like Of Miller light and fucking quail Miller Lite and fucking Quaaludes on a panning bed is our ultimate physique. Wait a second, if the wrestlers aren't healthy, how come all of them keep dying when they're 32? Right. Right. Right.

Right. I do remember on Opie and Anthony that that was one of the sort of funny bits that Sam, would you remember it, Brian? That he would go through the wrestlers that had died, you know, if they died of natural causes. And no, no, he did not. Bam Bam Bigelow, 36. You know, who do you guys think would be the hardest wrestler to beat in real life?

Like in real life, who do you think would be the winner? Someone huge like Big Show or someone with martial arts experience like Steve Blackman? beat in real life. Like in real life, who do you think would be the winner? Someone huge like Big Show or someone with martial arts experience like Steve Blackman. Chris Benoit is widely considered the best ever technical wrestler and was absolutely ripped. I think he'd be up there. When was that post written about Benoit? That's a really funny person to go. One of my favorite technical wrestlers, absolute killer in the ring is Chris. The Canadian.

Wait, how come you don't go by the Canadian Crippler, Chris? You are so sad. That's a good. I used to go by that. And now it's, I guess, considered to be important. I go. Yeah, I mean, I so I started going by that, I guess. I want to say two, three years ago and then I guess really become poor taste now. This is a guy who started watching Raw from the beginning, but doesn't read the news also. This is Chris Ben Logg.

No, he just showed up on Raw out of nowhere. He's down to earth. That's a nice idea, John, but I find that the news and wrestling fandoms have such overlap. I can't even imagine that. That's true. That's a good idea, John, but I find that the news and wrestling fandoms have such overlap. I can't even imagine. We got our final. This is I got a really exciting. I was like, listen, we got to get a real super famous celebrity final guest. So what I did was I had somebody else, a booker do this for me.

They say, you know, bring in, get us a big, big name guest to carry the episode. And so I don't know who this person is, but I can see somebody showed up camera off. Let's get that countdown going and see who. Hi. Oh, hey guys. My god, Kaden.

What the fuck? Hey guys. Are you kidding me? You live down the road. It's not even loading man. Can I say this? There is a wrestler in Mexico and his name is I'll play a clip of the guy saying it, the announcer saying it. Ah, the announcer saying it. So there is a wrestler named Chris. You could also be. Thanks for joining us.

I'm really excited for the big celebrity guest you have planned. It's Gabris. It's Gabris. That's the level of fame we're looking at. It's Gabris. It's Gabris. And he's been here for a long time. That's the level of fame we're looking at. The guy with a Patreon podcast is the most famous. Really good podcast. I'm going to I'm going to let Libby throw me over the top rope real quick. But I just want to say I trained at because I'm from Long Island.

You join a gym in ninth grade. And I started training at Gold's gym when I was in ninth grade. And whenever the pay-per-view was at Nassau Coliseum or raw was at Nassau Coliseum rather that, that Monday, uh, WWE wrestlers would drop into Gold's and lift weights. And I missed it one day because I had to fucking do some stupid afterschool shit. And the next day I went in, everyone was talking about how strong Kane was. They said Vader was obviously really strong, but Kane was so surprisingly strong. And it's like 17 year old meatheads just discussed

Vader repping 405 on the bench or whatever. We were talking about. And so they are actual athletes. Vader is clearly a very healthy athlete. I mean, Vader was legendary for being a super mobile big man. DB voted for Kane in the election this year, I think. All right, we're throwing Gamer Stakes for... We're throwing Gamer Stakes. Maybe you guys didn't realize you can definitely.

I put it in the thing. You can ask to leave. You don't have to stay for the whole. It will be funny if everyone left except for me. I go to shake Libby's hand like we're in this together. Then she kicks me in the nuts and he tosses me right over the top rope. That's my signature move.

He's gone. Bye's my signature move. He's gone! Bye, Gabriel. Second elimination after, of course, Jesse Farrar, who only lasted one minute on the show. Yes, no, that's usual. You always have one of those, right? You always have one of those on the Royal Rumble, the guy who runs out and then boom.

His wife says that too a lot. Yeah. What's that? He only lasts like one or two minutes. DB just made that joke first. No, I did it for you. And since I'm not going to be on my book, he only lasted one minute. Like, you mean like when he's having sex with his wife.

Yeah, that's good. OK. Yeah. Right. It's down to my book. Tony Khan. What if we said a wrestler only lasted one minute? We're going to be like, hey, what if you had a wrestler who like pulled a tree stump out from under the ring and DDT'd someone?

It's only stuff. What if a wrestler's girlfriend drove her car into a tree during the genuinely a pro wrestler with your backstory would be unbelievable? I can't take those normal toilets. He has to go to the center. Was it powerful? Your back story would be unbelievable. This guy can't take dumps in normal toilets. He has to go to the toilet center where the toilets are powerful. Oh yeah. Tony Khan's like, yeah, fuck you.

That's why he's not at this ad today. Tony Khan's like, every time, like the belt, like anytime there's a brawl, they go into the bathroom and they accidentally kick over the door and I'm sitting there like, Oh, what the heck, I'm pooping. door and I'm sitting there like, Oh, what the heck, I'm pooping. Um, folks, what's the K-Fabe logic behind wrestlers appearing from under the ring with perfect timing if they aren't watching a TV under there? They can like hear what's happening, right? Well, let's, let's get into it, Stefan.

There's some replies. This is from R Squared Circle. So the K-Fabe is the sort of like the suspended disbelief, the fake. So like, what's this KFabe explanation for how that happens? There's a real lack of imagination, doesn't it? You can't imagine that they're having a nice little time down there with the telly and maybe it's like a man cave type situation. Some people can't. So this person says having been under a ring while people are wrestling, you hear everything very, very loudly. But what breaks KFabe about watching the live show on your phone or whatever?

And then the time is right to picture like, Seth Rollins under the ring on his phone. That's so embarrassing. He's like he's like turning the phone and he keeps freaking to unlock the screen. It's still in. Yeah, he's like, turn to start he keeps freaking to unlock the screen. It's still in. Turn to start. Yeah. Yeah. So somebody replies though and saying, what's stopping?

What's breaks KFA about watching the live show on your phone or whatever? And somebody has an answer for that says the delay. Most of the time live broadcasted shows aren't truly live. They're usually delayed by a few seconds or sometimes even a minute or three. And then that person said the original thing says, Oh, completely. I just don't think kayfabe includes the use of tech. So I think that person is, there's a little bit of unclear about what is kayfabe and what is not. Vicious Cauliflower says, I mean, there's nothing anti-kayfabe about them having a TV under there or hell just streaming the show on their phone. And then this person says the KF reason is they base their appearance on the reaction of the crowd or ring the bell.

But pig deployer has a better answer. Says it's called the ring awareness. It's called the ring awareness Restless out there have great ring awareness the hitman Brad Hart. Yeah. Oh, we saw him we saw him, right? Yeah, really look too aware when we saw him But I do He doesn't have good being on stage awareness or like walking around He has bad on stage awareness or like walking around awareness. He has bad on time awareness Awareness didn't he wasn't in a ring

But he felt it felt like his awareness was so low that you could have told him he was and he would have believed And that maybe would have raised his awareness. So maybe they should have done. Yeah, I do have a one-of-one Brett Hart signed Do you still have it or did you because you sat on it and broke it? It's in my drawer with my Legos. I'd have to dig it because it's under all the Legos, right? It's in one of my drawers with the Lego just because it are you saying like a drawer of loose Legos Are you saying all the sets are in there stacked on top of it? Behind them right now on camera. You can see them. No, that's not all the sets. That's like not even a More offended than he just was there

My sets you Underestimating what a fucking geek I am. Are you joking me? Oh, that's not fair. Yeah, this is actually a fraction of my power I have way a lot of I have way a lot of Legos and some really big opinions on wrestling. But do you have a drawer of loose Legos? That was the question. Yeah, I have two of them.

So the top drawer behind me is loose Legos. The next drawer down is magic tricks. Magic tricks? They're not really mad. Don't don't call them magic tricks. They're magic really magic. Don't call them magic tricks. They're magic tricks. The drawer under that is loose Legos.

Sorry. No, no, no. We can't move on. Magic tricks are sandwiched between two drawers of loose Legos? So it's Legos, magic tricks, Legos, and then I assume the fourth drawer is pills. No. No, it's shit. The fourth drawer is of course my papers.

No, don't ever be more Legos It's like I was and then the drawer under that is Lego instruction manual. Okay, so it is papers It's like My files down there I Just LLC the company today. Wow, congrats, Brian. Welcome. Chris James now works for violence gang LLC.

He sent me the certification from the governor or whatever so proudly. The most investigated LLC in history. I can't wait and sit down and say, I'm taking my violence gang legit. I just want to clarify the reason he's doing that. This comes out a few weeks after we did our first merch drop, which went super well. People bought a lot of merch and it was great. And so then we did on Shopify and they have the money. It's hooked up to Brian.

Brian's on the account and comes time to get the money. And we can't get it because Brian doesn't have a bank account. I do have a bank account. I don't have a business bank account. But you don't need one. Anyways, it's time. We'll get you a green card from the gas station. It's problem solved.

I'm attending my first WWE live event tonight. What should I be prepared prepared for? I'll tell you what. You should be going to WWE. As the title says, I'm treating myself for my birthday and taking my son to our first live wrestling event. I've never been on the show and want to make it a great experience for my son as a way to hopefully get him to enjoy wrestling like I did at his age. Any advice on things to look

out for or not to do to make an event we both want to do again. And the first reply says from Lizard King, make sure you shower. That's a good point at a wrestling show. It doesn't matter if you shower, though. It's everyone else, right? You may want to bring some Febreze with you in case others aren't as considerate. And the original poster replies and says, okay, so between this thread and the search page that this person linked me to, I'm no longer thinking these comments are in jest. To a Friday night magic event, which I have heard. That's what I read is that it does have a lot of them do have that similar feel of,

there are people who I guess don't leave the house a lot or aren't. Magic, Magic the Gathering? Yeah, Magic cards. Now, Tom is sort of the Magic cards guy here, but my understanding is that magic events smell basically as bad as wrestling events. Is that right?

Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, yeah. He is saying that, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's the same. I think those ones are lice. Those are the ones and can, you know, just like inventions. Like what, remember we went to TwitchCon, Stefan, the one year we went when it was really packed in with people. That was bad. Yeah. That was the only time I've ever had that experience where it was just like the whole, everything smell. You couldn't get away from it.

It just became this smell in there that was just like awful. I hate it. It's why I've never gone back to TwitchCon ever again. Wrestling shows smell like you're inside of a guy's underwear. I'm kind of stuck on the advice to bring your own Febreze. Like are you freezing other guys? I'm being like, sorry, dude. I just got a I think you're doing a speed run to get assaulted in front of your son. It bugs me out for a guy to get assaulted in front of your son. So he never forgets. It bugs me out for a guy to be like, I'm treating myself for my birthday.

I would like to take my son, who's not a wrestling fan, to wrestling. Those shows are fucking five hours long. And you're taking your son who I took my daughter to wrestling. She wanted to go. This was when she watched wrestling. She got into it on her own. Yeah. Honey, you say that the first thing I ever I was like, you got to check out

this wrestling, and then I showed her the mankind Undertaker Hell in a Cell. How old was she when you showed her that six. Yeah, that's that's ridiculous. It doesn't know it's like people were very very sure that man cow had died during that show. He was thrown off like oh my god. And cow died. I'm the host. I'm drinking Pappy.

I'm the host today of the show, so I can be called for a flub so that people are pounding the table as the flub rules. Listen, in my defense, it's been a very long week of doing our merchandise drop and booking this show with eight different comedians around the world and having a baby. And I, you know, I'm having a terrible time and each day is worse than the last, guys. And now apparently you got to pay taxes in the United States.

I have to pay taxes. Well, I have a tax ID number in my account. I have an account. I have one too, I got it today. Yeah, congrats. I think some- Where you lives? Okay, sorry. it today. Yeah, congrats. Just, I think- Are you libs? Okay, sorry.

Some construction is starting up near me, so I think I'm gonna walk up to Stefan and he's gonna let, I'm gonna turn my back on him for just one second and then that little worm is gonna- Yeah, I know, for sure. He's gonna- The only way he can get you over is if you turn your back. Oh, he's making me buy unaware, of turn your back. Oh, he's backing me by Anawez, of course.

Yeah. Oh, he's gone. Tom Walker is gone. I love throwing people out in the middle of a sentence. That's really good. So this is a post from RSS Squared Circle, and we're not going to go longer than 30 more minutes just so you guys know. We're not going to do something crazy.

No, we gotta go. What do you mean? I'm so tired. Oh, you what? You want to leave the episode? It's the 100th. Brian, I did another podcast before we did a POD cast. Brian, this is my fourth thought of the day.

John, you want me to throw you over the top rope? Yeah, throw me over the top rope, Brian. This is the 100th. I'll see you tomorrow, John. Bye, John. It's the 100th episode of the show. And I do want to clarify. I'll have to throw you over the top

He just he started like before anyone was on the call this was within one minute of being on the show and he's just like Man like I'm just like Everyone's like man. I'll pump for the hundredth episode Brian's like I'm really not feeling it This is not scripted So yeah, I'm not that burn it's not fucking Digging ditches or anything. I'm fine. I'm alive. I just.

Why do people at indie shows smell so bad? I've been going to a few indie shows here in NYC over the last few weekends. This is the biggest thing I noticed. Do these people have no sense of personal hygiene? Are all indie shows filled with these kinds of people? Not to mention some of the guys were real dicks to women wrestlers. They kept catcalling them and being embarrassing. That's not normal.

Is it Brian? Not your like your your for I don't think it really is. I mean, it depends on the kind of Andy show you go to, right? So if you go to an indie show for people like me, then you're not going to hear that because it's people that like are you saying you go to progressive indie shows? Yeah, I do. I mean, not, oh my God, it's not, I'm saying, I'm not saying it's progressive. I'm saying that there are indie shows for people who like the work of wrestling to watch

matches and stuff like that. Let Tony con know I'm talking about this matches the people that like the matches and the construction of matches and stuff like that. And they like to see these, what Chris makes fun of all the time, like spot fest matches. And that's like for people like me. And then there are other indie shows where they get a bunch of guys that used to work for WWE and they come in the ring. They cut a quick promo, beat up an indie job or and then walk out of the place. Those places I could totally see because the type of fans that show up aren't people who are engaging with wrestling. Now there are people who engaged with wrestling in the eighties

or you think that the modern day wrestling fan, I mean, it makes sense. I do think the modern day wrestling, I think somebody did a study where it's like of all the sports. Now I feel like a dick because I said no study because me, Mike and Chris made fun of DB. This motherfucker just pulled out a study member where this is such a fucking shock rock radio thing to do.

This is a thing we make fun of. Oh, my God. Study about wrestling. Yeah, we released my god. It's a study about wrestling? They recently released, the scientists have recently released a study. Yeah, just like to have an in to talk about something, you know what I mean? They'll have this like really clunky, like they want to say something so they'll present it as like a study or whatever. Brian was like, has said so many times how that is the most pathetic thing you can do. This is interesting. The scientists have recently released a study that people who watch wrestling have higher

IQs. That and they also are sexier. And they take normal sized craps. Are you guys interested? We've read some posts here, but you guys want to hear these wrestling guys riff and see a bit of their comedy? Yes. Yes.

So here we go. This is in response to the, why does it smell so bad at all these indie events? Flintster says, loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix. That's some high level stuff. Why did you say a hell of a 12? Take my out votes. Oh, you guys just wait. This thread gets really bang in here.

Fancy Sack comes in and says, that's the name of my autobiography. And I will say, we on like every stream we do, we say that was almost the name of the stream and it's essentially the same joke. So I can't really make fun of him for that. I think that's very funny. But aren't you doing it as a joke?

What, you guys are doing that in earnest? It's started. It has now become an earnest. Yeah. Yeah. So listen, thank you for taking the heat off of me for saying a recent study so that I could say wrestling fans are the most woke. Oh, that's that's what the study was. And that was who is that study done by? Come on, honestly. The more I say it, the more embarrassed I am about bringing it up because I just remember it made waves on wrestling Twitter a few years ago and I was like, that's pretty nice. Fancy Sack said that's the name of my autobiography, Loneliness and Cheeseburgers Are a Dangerous

Mix. And then Crow TR2 says, or Cheeseburgers autobiography. Oh, Cheeseburgers the wrestler. No, no. Oh. Yes he is, he's a wrestler. Oh, okay. Cause I thought it was, and I'm sure Chris did too,

just natural cheeseburger. Oh yeah, real geek wouldn't know that cheeseburger. I was pretty confused by that, yeah. This is a great- I guess I'm a loser. This is an absolutely fantastic reply though that I think that we're all gonna get. Randy, what are you doing out of Sunnyvale?

Yep. What's Sunnyvale? It's Trailer Park Boys? So I guess if you don't know that, you're not gonna like these next two. This is the so it says the naked chairs and Randy, what are you doing out of Sunnyvale? Hooking for burgers. And then someone replies that and says ten dollars or six Dairy Queen coupons.

And finally, straight straight out of trailer park,, the guy says a man's got to eat. So that's a wrestling riff for you, Brian. What have you pulled up here? Oh, this is cheeseburger. Off of our wrestling, the guy is very skinny. He's very skinny for a wrestler. He's very skinny guy. That's like the funny part about he's a jobber and he's skinny and people really like him

because he's a he's a he's a jobber. A jobber is someone who goes and does jobs. They in wrestling. I think he's a job. All right. You guys know what a job. Yeah. Yeah. Jobbers. Yeah, they do a job. We learned about jobs a while ago, actually, on a on a stream with when we played that game, Brian, the sex game.

The jobs you guys want to play the sex game before we get out of here? Well, I have one post. Yeah, let's pull the sex game up. I mean, I'm a little thing. Throw me a little thing. This is Libby. She doesn't want to be a part of this. Are you actually Libby? Were you making a joke? Would you like to be saying?

I was just I was registering my lack of consent for the sex game. Yeah, this is done with AI. we discovered because it's like prompts and we and then one of the prompts was give your partner an anal job Job might be yeah where you stick your Cop yeah, so let's do team Thank you, What did Stefan say? Well, Libby said what is a pussy job and I said being a cop. Oh nice. Nice. That's cool. Oh cool, man Yeah, oh anti-police rhetoric. Yeah, there's a lot of studies that say people on this

Podcast or whoa, sorry opponent the chat challenge from front. OK, I mean, Chris, yeah, we played against the chat. Yeah, we gave the chat one. OK, Brian, you read it. Yeah, it's trying. It says give give him an ass job. Yeah, yeah, you don't want an ass. OK, so here we are. We're here.

I got to set up the rules because you can't have oral anal toys, risky or golden shower if you have icebreaker on. Okay, so here we are, we're here. I gotta set up the rules because you can't have oral anal toys risky or golden shower if you have icebreaker on. So you can only click these because the other stuff isn't an icebreak. You know what I mean? We wanna do kinky and dirty. Yeah, for sure.

Required for golden shower. Are we doing three to eight players or just two players? This is just two players? We'll just do two players, you know, and then we'll shuffle up these cards. I don't want to, oh, we got to tell them the country, actually. And you have to confirm that we're all of legal age. Whatever you are, yeah, whatever legal age is where you are. I'm playing from Vatican City.

We're at the age of legal age. You're good. You're good. All right. Shuffling up the cards here. Me and Chris, it'll be me and Chris against the guests. The first one is give him a thigh job. He lies on his back.

You lie on him face down. This is for you guys or for us? You, we're gonna, you guys have to do that to us. Okay. Okay. Sure. Okay. I'm doing it. I start doing it. Oh, I'm jack. I'm doing it. I start doing it For 20 years massage her tits she kneels in doggie style you are under her

The you are under her she kneels like she's getting it Massaging them they're kind of in your face a little bit. It feels yes. Did you guys accept this? Oh, yeah We okay, we accept you're massaging my titties right now. I'm Tits Stefan. Thank you All right, here we go. It's your turn. Give him an ass job. Use lubricant. So you gotta do that from sitting on a chair. Ass job.

Okay. Sure. Yeah. An ass job is anal sex. It is anal sex. Yeah. So we'll accept that. Just to be clear, don't try to get away with it.

You know, slap your cheeks up against it. All right? Finger her anus. Use lubricant. All right. Finger her anus. All right. Let's go ahead and close the game. And I got a really she kneels in doggy style and spreads her ass. She actually helps out. Right. All right. Very cool. So we'll play that on the stream again next week, even

every week for the rest of the play that on the stream. Yeah, we play on screens, me versus Chris in the chat. Right. OK. Yeah, it feels like some of the stuff might be my. I mean, Libby, Libby accidentally showed. And I want to make this clear. There was a picture of a boob on Wikipedia, and she actually showed that on stream yesterday. So you can show a lot of stuff on that.

Oh, no, they got they already call us adult content. We're basically porno on there. We can do whatever we want. We're considered adult. And we did one stream where we just pushed it a little too far. The ladies have huge titties, right? The ladies' tits were so big. And she was really unnerving.

And it was like, I think they were so big. Was it Chelsea Charms? They were, no, they were covered up, but they were so big that everyone was just, the people at the Twitch were like, sorry, those are too big. This is one of the people, these are the people that run the Swinger Club, Club Princeton in Columbus, big. This is one of the people these are the people that run the swinger club club Princeton in Columbus, Ohio. This woman had just a massive to your neighbor basically. Well, it could be my neighbor, but not my neighbor. I've never met Kitty. Okay. And

we were watching a lot of Kitty. Okay. pornographic material on our stream. We've had to create a new tier on the patreon to deal with it. I was just I just spent a while a few weeks ago. They're censoring all of the breasts on the man cow DVD and pussies on there as well. So we definitely have mistakenly showed boobs and stuff as well on stream.

It can happen. And they get home. Yeah. Yeah, I thought I thought I knew what you're saying until you use that tone. Yes, of course. Right. First words ever on radio. I try. I have one final post. I'm going to read. It is a video game rant about WWE 13 on r slash squared circle. This is from chef McDuck. He's a WWE nut hugger and he's pretty fucking pissed off. He says my, my bleeping angry suggestions for WWE 13. One, stop running your goddamn online servers

on a Pentium 486. I swear to God, it took me three months of trying to download Chris Jericho to finally succeed in doing so. My next attempt is to get that sweet Lord Tensei, but by the time I get him downloaded, the gimmick will probably be dead. Fix this or stop advertising all these awesome C.A.W.

scrolling by my screen on the main menu. He wants to score 10 psi. You fix this fucking pin system and you fix it now. This piece of shit is the dumbest system ever implemented. How could anyone approve this? Do you test your games? Apparently nobody in your almost out of business company has nephews. Well, now you're pretty stupid now. As playing this game with a couple of 10 year olds will prove to you how fucking dumb this pin system is. Guess what they do when they're getting pinned?

They press all the buttons like a wild man. In case some of you guys were thinking that the pin system was some sort of pin password thing, no, he's talking about the pinning a wild man. I just in case some of you guys were thinking that the pin system was some sort of pin password thing. Now he's talking about the pinning in the game. Okay. Well, we knew. Yeah.

Well, I don't know if everyone did, but you would think that I'm looking at dresses. So I, yeah, we're all smart. I show them how to use the kick out system and they don't even understand. One of them got the hang of it and only managed to kick out once. Fucking once. That's in all caps. Don't tell me I don't know how to use it because I fucking diddly do.

I can use it to kick out. It still sucks. Now he somehow managed to reformat his post where he's got some of the words really big and I don't even know how you do this but- That's crazy. The pin system, this is in huge letters. The pin system should appear right when the guy's skin touches yours, not when the ref

counts. Stupid, stupid, stupid. But that's not how wrestling works. Do you know how annoying it is having to wait until the referee starts counting to one before the graphics even appear on the screen? Kicking out is a frantic thing to do. Nobody wants to slow down and play some goofy ass mini game. Fix this shit. Three, but not really that important.

Your models this year look like Herpa Derp the Third. What? Ah, good shit! Do interns make your character models? I can forgive the graphics because you did manage to make the games replay value fun again. And I feel like the AI was well done this year. That's all I'm going into. I feel like WW 12 was the best game in the SmackDown series and the revamps they made

were great, but they fucked it up with this one. Did a real pussy job on this game. So I think that sort of shows a little bit of the, it's an angry group. They're very, they're very angry. They are very insecure about wrestling being fake and about what, what, how they have to always respond to that. And one thing we didn't really get into, but we'll get into more on the guys plus where

we do more wrestling is that they like to give suggestions and they have a lot of good ideas much like Brian, the stuff Brian was doing this episode talking to Tony Khan. That is the main thing they are doing online is they are basically trying to give suggestions. And actually there's one there's one here where there was a bunch of suggestions in this thread on the Wrestling Observer. And this guy Matt B said people in AEW are obviously reading this thread. I'm not kidding. They are though.

So these guys, Brian included, they believe when they're writing this stuff, that they are actually writing it directly to the people who are in positions of power. And that's why it makes for some of the worst posts you'll ever see because they write in these formats like they think that they're journalists and they're writing all of their things like with headers and like they're like citing things and stuff. And it's just insufferable. I mean, I could not believe how long some of the posts were and threads that go on for thousands and thousands. They've been going on for 30 years, it feels like. And every on it is 5,000 words. I sort of feels like it sort of feels like when a kid is running for class president

and they promise to like abolish homework or something, right? I would be like, don't do any more of these backstage segments. Let's get rid of the backstage segments. We don't want an invisible camera. We don't want to see two guys talking because that's not real. How would they ever catch two guys having that conversation? Number one, number two, nobody talking from the screen to the guy in the ring that you just you got to cut that out. That doesn't read as real at all. And then you got to make sure that we're literally on.

We're on a video call right now. Yeah, no, but you can't do that. It's and don't play people's music when they run in. That's another thing. How would the music start playing? You know what I mean? So but if but if you have like if your complaint is that those things are not realistic enough, wouldn't you also want it to be like more wrestlers like dying in the ring and stuff

and being like severely injured and breaking their neck? I like it when they pretend to be hurt. And some of them do die and get hurt in the ring. That's true. You should not be able to use any like dark powers and stuff like Undertaker does. You should not be able to do any dark sided shit like that. I don't want to see that. I agree, Mike. I agree. I wouldn't do that. I'm a like that. I don't want to see that Mike. I agree

I wouldn't I don't want to see that shit. I'm not don't have guys Doing these segments where they put a camera on them and then they're like, I'm this is all at MJF I'm like playing a piano. It's like This Monday night raw program one day removed from going to. And I simply don't want to see any of this. I don't want to see the undertaker or Papa Shango. I don't want to see the undertaker in his name. I mean, that's what there are real people who are like, they really feel that way. That like they talk about when was the cave fave lost.

And they say like the attitude era or like undertaker and place like that, you know, like they want it to go back to this era where people thought it was real and it seemed real. And I just don't think that they understand, but I don't think that they understand that like the world has evolved to a point where I just don't know that we can. I am saying that they should pretend it's real. Like when they're doing it, when they're doing it, they should pretend it's real.

I don't need to think it's real, but I just want them to act like it's fucking sports. You know what I mean? Like, that's all I want from wrestling. I don't want wrestling to be some like art. I want it to be sports. And I'm not be able to- Is it about watching football? Yes, no. Have you ever considered watching a sport?

Baseball, I go to baseball. Well, you go there because- Yeah, you like hockey. You go there so you can eat ice cream out of a mini helmet. Yeah, you had ice cream at the hockey game too. Maybe wrestling needs more ice cream. Maybe if wrestling is ice cream.

They do have ice cream at wrestling, but not good like not the soft serve need better ice cream Yeah, yeah wrestling me better ice cream and it will be nice That's a suggestion you could actually make because you could probably talk to the talking about they do their fucking event if they come to Columbus They do the event at the same place in the blue jackets play where you eat your ice cream You just have to pay for a whatever sweet. You can't get a luxury box for wrestling Run, they don't run the diamond seller club for wrestling and I've been in a suite to watch wrestling money in the bank I forget what year it was but I was up in a suite. Oh shit bragging about like, okay get it you could afford it I got, what did I get? Oh, they got pizza, but no ice cream and the

pizza was Papa John. Imagine that. Imagine a toddler going to an event. They didn't have ice cream. No chocolate milk. It was all pop. So yeah, I love the hockey. I love hockey. I really I got a lot of joy out of that hockey game. I didn't watch it. I are going to a hockey game. No, we're sitting, we're gonna pay attention to the game where we're sitting close. We went lower bowl trying to give you free food there.

No, we're going to watch I game. We're going for the food. We're going to watch the hockey game. The food's overpriced there. We'll eat before. No, it's free. No, it's... Somebody needs to explain to this guy the concept of free. This guy pays $900 for his ticket. He's like, holy shit, I got all this free salsa. I told Gwen and her boyfriend I'd take her to a hockey game. And I started looking. I was like, that's going to be like $2,000.

You're going to take them to a suite? Or were you going to take them to? I don't go to hockey yet, unless I'm going to the Diamond Cellar Club. Maybe you could go to the suite and they could get some really shitty suites. I like that. I do that sometimes.

He'll do that. He'll do that. Like, you're saying it as a joke. Like, it's such a funny thing to say. But he would do that and he wouldn't think anything of it. I almost made them fly economy and I flew first on the way home from California last year. But then I was like, I'd feel too guilty if I did that. But I was like, you know, I'm writing this off. You guys, it's all fucking recreation for you.

You know, I'm here for work. I should fly first or business. I'm doing business. You know, there's all fucking recreation for you. You know, I'm here for work. I should fly first or business. I'm doing business. You know? You're there for work, you said? Business mindset. I go to LA for work. Did you fly first class to Vancouver?

I forget, and then? Or was it- No, I flew first class home. But I flew premium economy there. I don't- Hey, shout out. Thanks to all the patrons. Thank you so much for your support.

The first home was cheap, and I'm already I'm probably. So my daughter's boyfriend's going with us out west. And he was like, I was like, all I need him to pay for is this flight. And he was like, you know what? I'll fly economy. Don't I don't want to fly first. And I was like, what? Why not? And Glenn was like, I still want to fly. Yeah, I I'm I'm like let Brian's like insist he's like, I can't wait to bring him here.

Fly first, fly. And I'm like, I'm not going to let you do that. I'm not going to give you my information to purchase a ticket. I'm just going to buy the ticket and buy a regular one. I it's not a long enough flight to need that, you know. Oh, shit. It's six hours. Yeah, I think international, the only time I think it's really worthwhile is international if you really have to sleep or something.

You're gone for a really long time. It actually is international, believe it or not. Canada to Ohio. Yeah, but really, like you're flying to a whole different world when you get here. All right. We're a square circle. Wade star. Finally, Wade star 007. I know this may sound dumb, but I can't believe wrestlers don't get boners every once in a while

Guys I want to thank everybody for doing this it's really sweet of you all to come on. Thank you Thanks to everyone Mike was here from the beginning state to the the end. Mike, our DB, our first ever guest, and showed up Jesse Farrar, who is not like anything like Marty Janetti. He's not like Marty Janetti. We want to set the record straight. He's not Janetti like at all. And we love him. And also to clarify, he had to go. We weren't being mean. We had to pee. We know we pretended, but he did. That was set up. We weren't actually, we didn't pee we we know we we pretended but he did that was set up We weren't actually we didn't actually invite him on to the show and then immediately kick him off Hey, babe, come on. I know come on man. We're supposed to treat this like which one of us one doesn't one of us have to win

me Guys can have it wait we all know we have to tell Brian he won. Yeah. He's the only one on here. And he's getting pizza and ice cream as well. I gotta get food. I don't know what I'm gonna get, but I think I'm gonna buy some F-bombs, which are these candies I've gotten into.

That's what you're thinking of having for dinner? No, I'm gonna probably get pizza for dinner or a cheeseburger. Thanks for listening everyone. I appreciate it. Hopefully we'll do 100 more than call it. Yeah. Yeah.
