83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff - 83Weeks BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, hey, it's Conrad Thompson, and you're listening to 83 weeks with Eric Pischoff. Eric, what's going on, man? How are you? I'm just great. Man, it's Mother's Day as we're recording this. I'm charged today. Not that I was charged with it.

Starting point is 00:00:22 I volunteered happily to cook a pretty fun Mother's Day brunch as soon as we're done here. so really looking forward to that it's a beautiful day got to check out the northern lights it was crazy up here in wyoming absolutely crazy trippy almost did that and uh yeah feeling good glad to be home well i'm glad that you're home too and usually we get fired up on a sunday morning to record 83 weeks but as you said today is mother's day and it just so coincides with a special announcement. Eric, I, uh, I thought this day would never come. But sadly, 83 weeks is no more on Monday.

Starting point is 00:01:10 Now it's on Friday. Yay! We, uh, we've had some problems, as you might imagine, keeping up with, uh, Bruce Pritchard. His schedule has changed from when we first started recording that podcast back in 2016. And he is moving something to wrestle to Monday. which will give us an opportunity to record over the weekend where he has a little more flexibility than during the week and you and i are going to start recording on thursdays for a friday drop

Starting point is 00:01:40 so this drop today is to inform you that 83 weeks effective right now today this week is now a friday show eric we have uh really dedicated this show to mondays for a long long time. I mean, since the beginning, several years now. And transitioning to Friday, I feel like, man, that's going to help us get our weekend started right. We'll be able to talk about what happened on Monday Night Raw. We'll be able to talk about what happened on TNA. We'll be to talk about what happened on dynamite. We'll be dropping just hours before Smackdown and Rampage and a day before collision. But a lot of big paper reviews seemingly are going to be happening on Saturdays and Sundays. Instead of us trying to guess what

Starting point is 00:02:25 happened on a Sunday night pay-per-view when we record on Sunday morning, we'll actually be able to preview it a little bit. I like this switch to Friday. What say you? I do too. I do too. I've enjoyed our schedule over the weekends. One of the great things about recording on the weekend is, you know,

Starting point is 00:02:41 there's some flexibility involved. But especially in the summertime, I really enjoy my weekends off. And of course, I'm making a lot more personal appearances now than I have probably over the last couple of years. So that makes weekends, you know, tough as well. and recording on a Sunday, for example, or Saturday morning, which we typically do this way. I can get our stuff in during the week, still stay on schedule, everybody's happy, the way you know, set it up.

Starting point is 00:03:05 We can react to ratings. We can talk about what happened, you know, after certain shows and hit on those, you know, hot topics as they come up. But also give Bruce a chance to be more consistent as well. Love Bruce Pritchard. I probably wouldn't be doing this podcast with you, we're not for Bruce Pritchard. so hey if i got to get kicked off my regular night my regular day for anybody i am just thrilled it's bruce britchard well i don't think you're getting kicked off because of that but you're right

Starting point is 00:03:36 you're busy on the weekends he's not it was a logical switch and uh i do i kind of didn't think about that but yeah we'll actually be recording the day the ratings come out for uh e w dynamite and we'll have them for raw that week and i just think that uh Friday is going to be fun here at 83 weeks.com. So I feel like I wish we had like the Beverly Hills Hillbillies theme music. I love loading up in a truck and moving to Beverly. We could do a fun little parody song about that. We had that hill,

Starting point is 00:04:08 Beverly Hillbillies theme song going to back on that would be awesome. Well, your favorite pair of Hillbillies will be back this Friday, which means we're going to be recording live on Thursday. And you can be a part of our live studio audience by. joining us at ad-freeshows.com. We've been doing a lot of fun stuff over at ad-freeshows.com lately, Eric. We just, this past weekend, launched a new Saturday mornings with Meanie. The Blue Meanie joins us each and every Saturday to recap exactly what all's going on

Starting point is 00:04:42 in wrestling over the past week. We just last week hooked up with Mr. Crockett and Kerry Morton to talk a little bit about the Crockett Cup, and we watched a fabulous match between Rick Flair, and dusty roads from way back when at the Crockett Cup and how about a little false finish action I don't think it's been revealed yet but I'll go ahead and spill the beans I caught up with crowbar and we had a two and a half hour conversation with the former devon storm and what a story he has I mean that guy was in ECW he was in WCW he actually had a cup of coffee in the w he did it all in wrestling and he's had a fabulous second act i want to encourage everybody to

Starting point is 00:05:28 check out our new series we've got several episodes now called the false finish over at ad free shows dot com or the book where we go episodically week by week month by month day by day show by show to break down exactly what happened in the uh the good old days of jim crockett promotions all available now at ad free shows dot com and uh lots of of bonus content from you, Eric. I think one of the most requested things we've seen over there and well reviewed things we've done is Eric fires back as you just take time one by one to shred all your naysayers like a head of cabbage. It's been a lot of fun at aftershows.com, no? It is. And you know, one of the things that, um, I like to do on occasion is just randomly

Starting point is 00:06:14 call at free shows members just out of the blue and surprise them. Confused. them sometimes but it's always fun and you get such great reactions and when they don't answer I leave them a voice message you know like I scold them for not being where they're supposed to be on time like I'm a co-worker or something and then you know reveal it's me but it's a lot of fun I'm I think this Tuesday night as a matter of fact I'll be doing a special show on ad-free shows.com for our listeners so and occasionally officiated wedding my goodness you know it's just it's it's a hell of a community and a great family and I'm just grateful to be a part of it really I mean think about that well without ad free shows you wouldn't have

Starting point is 00:07:03 become a minister I know so seen over weddings gotten multiple haircuts we've had a lot of fun we have had a lot of fun and again we've got to know some really cool people you know some really yes the people that are part of ad free shows we call them our family but they really are we've gotten so close to many of them and become really personal friends with a lot of them my wife now is is friends with you know josh rosenblum and and coach rosy and and so many others uh that have become like part of the family literally not just figuratively well we hope you'll consider joining us over at ad free shows dot com we've got more bonus content than you can shake a stick out over there including monday mailbag with my kiota monday mailbag with nick patrick

Starting point is 00:07:49 Tuesdays with the taskmaster they're always live they're always interactive and they're always exclusive to ad free shows.com so maybe some of that will hold you over until this friday where eric and i come back and we're going to be coming in hot because we're going to be talking about one of the more maybe uh underappreciated in ring performers of all time and one heck of a man william regal lord stephen regal whatever you call him he is our topic this friday and i know this particular episode you're looking forward to we're getting back to our nostalgia roots but with a guy that you think a whole heck of a lot of man i can't wait i cannot wait to do this show not only to talk about

Starting point is 00:08:37 steve riegel william riegel take your pick i still call him steve um step i uh i so admire this individual and the stories he has to tell, some of whom, some of which I'm sure he hasn't really talked about publicly. Just, I mean, it's like a movie the way Steve came up, the experiences he had in India around the world as he was breaking into the business at a fairly young age. And to have experienced that and for us to be able to be able to share some of that, I'm really looking forward to it because I think anytime you get insight into a performer, a talent, wrestler, whatever you want to call them, you know, you know their character on television,

Starting point is 00:09:28 you know some of the accomplishments and the accolades of them as performers. But I think the more you get a chance to listen and learn about what the actual individual was really all about and their journey and how they got into the industry and all of the experiences along the way, good and sometimes hard. horrible. I think that is the most fascinating type of conversation to have. And we won't have Steve with us, I don't think. You know, you never know, maybe. But for sure, we're going to be able to get into some details and background that perhaps haven't been really shared before. Because Steve is a very humble guy. I mean, he's a very, very soft-spoken, very humble, very

Starting point is 00:10:11 respectful guy. And sometimes he just doesn't, you know, share some of the amazing stories that he has. to price some of them out of them during the week and see if I could get them to allow me to share some of them on 83 weeks on Thursday for Friday.

Starting point is 00:11:27 Can I throw one more thing in there about 83 weeks.com and YouTube? Please do. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to do another five-day water fast. And I've gotten, this is the third one I've done now since last November. And I get a lot of questions about it on social media, lots. So what I'm going to do, this is just for members at 83 weeks, our YouTube channel is every morning, I'm starting tomorrow morning, I'm going to be doing, I guess, a video blog, if that's the right way to say it, but kind of walking people through what I'm experiencing, what I anticipate during the course of this five-day water fast and answering, you know, as many questions as I can about that

Starting point is 00:12:09 process. Again, it'll just come out automatically every morning. If you're a member, you know, subscribe now, become a member. And I'm going to get into, the five-day water fast in detail. I know that's got nothing to do with wrestling, but the only reason I'm doing it is because really of the amount of social media traction it got any interest in it. So we're going to do that. And then I'm going to following that,

Starting point is 00:12:29 then I'm going to go on a super strict, I mean ridiculously strict carnivore diet for 30 days and talk through and walk through that process and share some of my, you know, weight, body weight, body fat, lean tissue, blood pressure information, heart rates, and things like it. So people can actually follow

Starting point is 00:12:50 along and see the kind of metabolic impact that not only the five-day water fast, but also the 30-day extremely strict carnivore diet. When I say extremely strict, I'm talking two stakes a day, salt and water. That's it. So we're going to talk about all that stuff. If you're a member and if you're interested, if you're not, don't worry about it.
