Starting point is 00:00:04 Like the midnight and the rock and roll. He's in a fight for wrestling soul using a racket and some mind control. He's Jim Connest. The keys to the future held by the past and with tag deep art. We're going to talk Smackdown. We're going to have viewer mail. We're going to review the news and we're going to talk about things that just grind my gears. And to join me, Hawaii and Brian the podcasting lion,
Starting point is 00:01:17 the king of the Arcadian Vanguard Podcast Network, Mr. Co-host to you, he put the pot in pot, the great Brian Last, everybody. Aloha, Jim. A pleasure to be here once again for another professional edition of Jim Coronet's. Oh, no, this is the Jim Cornett experience. I was about to say the wrong show. Jim Cornett's experience. Well, the Jim Cornett experience.
Starting point is 00:01:40 There's a the. Yes, there's a the. I am the Jim Cornett, whether you like it or not. That's right. And yes, and now we're joined by Gardner's. I call them lawn mowers down here down south. You call them gardeners. You're always complaining about these things that no one hears in the background.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Well, it's just part of my superhearing that I have. Super hearing. Oh, yeah, I can hear all kinds of strange noises and things going on in outer space. You didn't know that? You're so deaf you can't hear it thunder. Melissa, did you send him my script from a few months ago? He's doing my material. What we've done is we've entered into the...
Starting point is 00:02:18 the personality changing thing. That's where they got twisted up in the transporter and Kirk became evil and tried to molest a whore or whatever that... A whore? He tried to molest a whore? Ahorra! Ahorra! All right, it's a great show so far.
Starting point is 00:02:40 It's like Stu Hart saying a whore. No, that's a hoar. Oh, a hear. He trying to make Diana look like some kind of hoar. Did you tell Davey Boy about that? Yes. I know you told Bruce about it because you thought it was him or whoever it was. Well, yes, because they were sitting there.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I thought they were part of the rib. They were sitting there listening to what I was saying to, and they knew it was stew. That's why their faces were contorted in the manner in which they were. But when I started burying Bruce, they kind of got with it, right? And first I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, you know, and fucking, I swear to God, I thought it was Bruce. I didn't know I was talking in a flippant manner to a legend who could have stretched me. Does that go to Vince? Vince Stu called he's afraid that you're making his daughter look like a whore.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Well, no, I think it went to Vince through Stu because I didn't tell him. And I don't think, Bruce apparently didn't, wasn't involved in a conversation. but the next thing we knew, Diana was no longer a hoor. We're on the program. So somebody went to Vince. Anyway, if nobody knows what we're talking about now, the clip is on the channel, is it not?
Starting point is 00:04:07 It is. Certainly it is. I don't know what the clip name would be. I would have to look it up. It certainly doesn't have the word whore in it. Probably does it have hoor? How would you spell that? How would the spelling it?
Starting point is 00:04:18 I would look at the H-O-O-O-R. You would spell that, really? Pas-A-Hour. The way he elongated the middle there. Do you think we should have more words with three O's in the middle? Well, we need more vowels. Because, you know, there ought to be A-E-I-O-U and sometimes why, just aren't enough in today's fast-paced society.
Starting point is 00:04:46 If we had a few more vows, you could stick them in there, and it wouldn't look so redundant, but it'd still get to point across. We could go to 28 or 29 characters, couldn't we? I mean, who's we? We as a people. How many characters did they have in Japan? Boy, apparently not as many as they used to,
Starting point is 00:05:06 judging from the talent they're exporting. That's not what I meant. Well, look that up. Google that before we get to business today, because we're not going to, we're getting a lot of monkey business today. But how many characters are there in the Japanese, well, not language, but alphabet?
Starting point is 00:05:28 Alphabet, thank you. The Japanese alphabet has 92 characters. Jesus Christ. In the Hiraigana and Katakana syllabaries. And now this says there's 46 basic characters. and 90 something in another variation. In another variation. Well, Jesus, they've got to be twice as smart as we are,
Starting point is 00:05:57 because how the fuck would you learn twice as many letters in the alphabet and not take to your 30 to graduate? You know, it's one of those things that stood out about the Japanese magazines when you saw them. They always had the great photography, of course, but because Japan was a reading culture, it was filled with seemingly more words than any of the American magazines. Oh my God, yes, it was like a phone book.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Yeah. And, you know, it was laid out well. It wasn't just like you're just reading, well, you're not reading any of it unless you read Japanese, but it wasn't like you were looking at something that was just text over and over. There were boxes with photos and there were, you know, columns and there were separations. And it was laid out very well, even just the black and white text page. I wish now I could read all that shit, so I'd know what they were saying. You know, I just got, where did I put it?
Starting point is 00:06:50 Because I haven't used it yet, because I got to hook it up. Here it is. Here it is. It's a translator pen. Apparently I rub this or I run it across a sentence in another language. It will say out loud what it is. That is not possible. That's what the commercial for this.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Not for anything that you would have been willing to pay, I wouldn't imagine. That's what I saw three in a more. morning on Facebook, it looked good enough to me. Oh, yeah, well, there you go. I don't think they shipped it to you from NASA. I don't think that... Is this an MIT product or... Well, it says translation pen.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I don't know how to use it. I just turned it on to see if it would turn on without charging. It says translation pen. Do I just... Is it a Popiel brand? No, it's not a Ron Popiel. I think he, is he alive anymore? I think he died, didn't he? He died a few years ago. We talked...
Starting point is 00:07:40 Well, his company could live on. We've still got... Plenty of companies named after old white dead fuckers. This is the wrong instructions. I don't know where the instructions. Oh, wait. Maybe you need the instructions translated. It's initializing the offline resources.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I have to wait. It's doing what to who? That's what it says. Voice translation. Scan translation. Hold on. Let's try this scan. So wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Wait a minute. Let me reset this again here. People may have come in late while you're still taking your seats, ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to grab a Japanese magazine. you keep talking. Oh, God damn it. So apparently what Brian Last, who has now gone to Tokyo to the wrestling store to get a Japanese magazine, is saying is that he is going to be able to rub in some fashion this pen across a line of dialogue
Starting point is 00:08:32 in another language, and it will translate it out loud as to what that said. Let's give this a shot. I don't know if I'm going to do this right. I'm scanning. Nothing's happening. Scan translation. It's scanning. It's pulling up the letters, or at least a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Uh-huh. It's pulling them off of the page? It's erasing them, or is it absorbing them, or what is it doing? Well, what is? It's saying something. Hold on. It was. Listen closely, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:09:15 What? Translation. It just says corn or what is it saying? Let me try this again on a different sentence. That obviously didn't work. Wait a minute. Now hold on here a second. Now there may be a loophole here. Listen to me. Well, hear me what I'm telling you, boy.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Now the Japanese people, they read, the book opens the backwards way they read. Is it left to right or right to left? Now, you know what I'm trying to say. should you run it across the line? Are you trying to do some kind of Paul is dead backwards bullshit? That is tough because it does say please scan as vertically as possible. Are you going the wrong way there, son?
Starting point is 00:10:03 I don't know. We'll try this one more time. I will go this way. I'll see if it's scanning. It doesn't appear to be scanning any of these words now. Seven. Okay. Didn't even get the right page number.
Starting point is 00:10:15 It's 15. I was about to say, is that the page number? No, I'm on 15. It didn't even get that right. What if I scanned this? Hold on. This is almost words. I apologize,
Starting point is 00:10:25 ladies and gentlemen, on this unplanned. Yeah, that's exciting. Interruption in our programming. At least they'll be finished mowing my yard by the time you get this working.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Where's the sound coming out of on this thing? Oh. Is there a speak? Can you hold it up to the microphone or your ear? Connie Chung. Connie Chung?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Is that what? I'm going to turn this off. I'll try. later on. We'll get this to work and we're gonna... How much did you pay for this miracle of modern technology? Oh, not much. Less than $60 probably. Okay, for 50 bucks, you expected somebody to send you a pen that was going to do this high tech bullshit. And as, for 50 bucks, I was absolutely willing to see what the fuck they were going to send me in if it would work. Absolutely. You just bought the spy pin is what you did son.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Man, I've got so many cool gadgets here. No, no, that cool gadget. Yeah, they were, eh. Do you, you bought the spy pin. I got the spy pin. I didn't buy the spy pin. When I was nine years old, I got the spy pin. I got the translator pen.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And the ad in a magazine for the spy pin was the guy holding the normal looking everyday ink pen up to his eye and through the wall. He's seeing through the wall. you can see the lady in her negligee. It was a negligee that she was in when she was preparing for bed. $2.99, I think, will get you this pen. You can see through the fucking wall with it, right? And I sent the $2.99 in there, and I got the package, and I opened it up.
Starting point is 00:12:12 And you know how you were going to be able to see through the wall, Brian? I know how you thought you were going to, yeah. Well, because it had a special thing that plugged into the end of the pin that was an auger on the other end of it, and you were supposed to sit there and grind a hole in the wall on your side of the room and through whatever may lie in between and pop out the other side, and then you take that thing off, and then you hold a pin up, and it's got the little fucking telescope little thing.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And then they didn't tell you you had to drill a hole in the wall. When you're nine years old, how are you going to get away with that? and just sit something in front of it? At any age, how are you going to get away with that with Mama Cornett? Well, if Mama Cornett at any age, no. But if you're of adult age and it's your house, I guess you could drill a hole in your own wall if you wanted to. But then if it's your own house,
Starting point is 00:13:07 goddammit, you ought to be able to just walk in another room and see what the fuck's going on. So it just, it didn't live up to the hype. I'm not giving up on this sleek, uh, pen. I'll figure out how to get this to work. Maybe it's the wrong language. Maybe it has a problem with Japanese. Does it write? No. It just scans and talks to you, apparently. So you got a pin that don't write. Maybe the problem is I haven't hooked it up yet to the internet. It needs internet. These were just the offline function. How the fuck do you hook it up to the internet? You probably
Starting point is 00:13:41 have to pick it up via Bluetooth and make sure that it's on their network. And then once it can access the internet, then it would just be flooded with language and characters, and I'll be telling all sorts of stories and all sorts of languages in future weeks here on the show. Well, can you try to make one of those stories and one of those languages better than this one? There are no guarantee. If we could just have some type of assurance, anyway, should we get the elephant in the room, or in this case, the undertaker in the room out of the way?
Starting point is 00:14:18 first so we can move on to other more productive things. Well, it is trending season. You started trending about a week ago because of the Obafemi clip. And then surprise, surprise, as I was editing, I looked on Twitter and you were trending again. And this time because of a dead man. Well, and this, and it's trending on Twitter as we've established here is so ridiculous and silly. and who gives two flying shits to begin with. I'll try to keep my language down at the top of the clip here.
Starting point is 00:14:54 YouTube might get sensitive. But it's not even about trending on Twitter at this point. It's serious. And we're coming up in a couple of weeks from some very serious shit that needs to go correctly for the sake of all of us. Where we have to drag half of them kicking and screaming into logic, reason, and common sense or not. And everybody
Starting point is 00:15:20 had already started inundating me on Twitter and I'm sure you got them at the drive-through email. Oh, they announced Taker's going to have Donald Trump on his program. Taker's going to have Donald Trump on his podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Can you get Kamala Harris? First of all, I don't think so because she's actually got shit to do. Right? I believe at this point. No, she'd totally do it. That's the problem. Everyone will do any podcast they think as an audience right now.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Well, no, but that's, unfortunately, apparently, that's who Undertaker's audience is, is these people. And again, I say this all the time and I end up doing it and I end up saying it again. You can't say anything nice about anybody anymore. you never know. And I know a lot of people over the weekend have got back why you're surprised that the Undertaker is a Republican. No. I'm surprised that Undertaker's not one of the honest Republicans.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I'm surprised that he's not the person. It's like Sean Michaels now. I will always say Sean Michaels was the greatest performer in ring of that particular era and also what an asshole he was. now I have say Undertaker was the greatest gimmick ever, blah, blah, blah. But as 27,000 people gave me the little heart on the Twitter when I said, you're not the person we thought you were. As a person.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Because, again, I understand Glenn, Kane, he's an elected Republican politician. He's got to do this shit if he wants to get ahead and we've established, that's what he wants to do, or he'd be obviously telling people the fucking truth. And maybe he wants to be a senator. And maybe he wants to be, who knows, president?
Starting point is 00:17:30 The bar has been set so low by the previous administration that anybody can have those hopes. So he's doing it for votes for his career to get ahead. He has something to gain. What does the undertaker have to gain? by sitting there next to that bag of flesh and encouraging people to vote for him I thought we'd established Undertaker's not stupid
Starting point is 00:17:56 I still don't think he's stupid although any revelation now is possible with anybody what is in it for him to have a guy he has to know is a fucking criminal well he doesn't have to know it everybody knows it he is an actual convicted felon why would he push that? Even though he's a Republican,
Starting point is 00:18:21 that's another thing that they're pushing. They went a whole Twitter brouhaha because they put that clip out there of both Kane and Taker sitting with this thing. And Trump was like the meat in an idiot sandwich.
Starting point is 00:18:40 And they got their hands on his knee and like, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't go with Batista Kamala, it's not about political differences. It's right versus wrong and fact versus fiction. And there are Republicans
Starting point is 00:19:02 that have come out and said no. And here's why. Many of them former Republicans because the sheep don't want to hear that. They vote them all out, but at least they showed they had a conscience in some kind of moral compass. there were a hundred-some Republicans of various states and statuses and offices at one of Kamala Harris's rallies last week
Starting point is 00:19:31 that came there because of country over party and logic and reason over lunacy. So with Taker going back to that, what does he have to gain? He's a gun guy, but he lives in Texas, which is very deeply red, not just the next. And so nobody, he's not going to live long enough. None of us will live long enough to see anybody, Democrats, Republicans, or whatever, take the people's guns away in Texas and do anything about gun control in this country. So we don't have to worry about that. You want to save on taxes?
Starting point is 00:20:14 It's okay if Al Capone's running a country. as long as I save on taxes, I thought he was a better person, is what I'm saying, which is why that disappointed me. And then when I tweeted about the disappointment to Mark and Glenn, not even cussing them, just said, people thought a lot of you all this time, and then you're going to ruin it all for this guy, to help him ruin the country. That's what got 27,000 of those little heart thingies that indicates, I guess, that people agreed with me,
Starting point is 00:20:56 and then all the right wingers come out of the closet or the basement or the bunker or wherever it is. They hunker down and cower from all these non-existent fears and prejudices they've got. And half of them actually,
Starting point is 00:21:18 Brian, I'm starting to suspect that a lot of these right-wing Twitter accounts are like the same guy with 47 accounts or one of those bots that the kids like to talk about because it's always like, my name is Bill, I'm a hardworking country boy doing the best I can in this big old world. Hashtag MAGA. What the fuck? With a generic picture from central casting of some fucking shit kicker somewhere. I'm sure it'll be an illuminating conversation.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Maybe they'll bond over their, you know, experiences losing their hair or their love of porn stars or one or the other. Who knows? But it, again, it's just, it's disappointing when people, again, again, the Republicans will try to hit, well, you're losing friendships over political differences. It's not political differences. is what your mother and father taught you, is what kind of person you are. How do we want to be identified as a country of people with the most literally wretched excuse
Starting point is 00:22:37 for a human flawed in every way and totally unfit for the job? And because we want to own the libs or we're afraid that someone's going to give junior a sex change operation in third period, we can't just, the Republicans can't just sit down and say, you know what? Yeah, he's almost 80 now and he wasn't real swift to begin with and he's fucking lost it. And he's totally unfit. And we made a mistake this time.
Starting point is 00:23:15 we don't even have to vote for the Democrat. We'll just stay home. And everything's been rolling along fine, despite all of the efforts to the contrary for this con man to convince people otherwise, stock market's at an all-time high, unemployment's at 4%, inflation is down to 2%, so that we avoided the recession with a soft landing, thanks to the current administration.
Starting point is 00:23:48 So why fuck with that? And everything will run right along. And then in four years we can get our shit together and nominate as the Republican Party somebody who's not a criminal lunatic. How is it that hard for these people instead of owning the lives and what could possibly be more important to them in their lives
Starting point is 00:24:17 than just taking one for the next four years for the sake of democracy as a whole to rid ourselves of this Creighton who has caused all this and you if your parents taught you right from wrong I mean Brian out of are we all on YouTube still yet with this commentary so far?
Starting point is 00:24:45 I think we're going to be on YouTube. This is a topical issue and everyone wants to hear what you're going to say about it. You haven't crossed any lines. Okay, well then let's stick to just facts. Instead of my sometimes hyperbole or my opinion, I'll try to keep the profanity down. But let's just examine what anybody living in the real world knows to be facts. Facts that have been documented, Video, audio, people come out and admit I said and did these things, kind of facts, right? Not even stuff we have to adjudicate. So first of all, Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.
Starting point is 00:25:29 He is a convicted felon. He has been found guilty. 34, I believe, is the number of felonies related to the election interference scheme with the hush money and diverting election funds. and fundraising and all of those various crimes that are crimes. They don't understand them down in Bean Station. It don't happen that much out there. Or over in Pocatello maybe, but these are federal crimes, felonies. He was found guilty.
Starting point is 00:26:05 You can't vote for president in the United States if you're a convicted felon, but you can run. But let's say that white collar crime, you don't care about that. Yeah, that's just, that's just, you know, it's paperwork, and it's just, you know, it's this bullshit. That doesn't identify with some people. Let's talk about a different kind of crime. He has been found civilly liable of sexual assault, and not only that, but accused by multiple dozens of other women who have had, suits in various states of progress or process or commentaries of same. So there's the sexual assault.
Starting point is 00:26:58 But let's say you're one of the boys. You lie! He's one of the boys. You know, sometimes these women in the fucking department store are two in the afternoon the way they dress, they deserve it. That doesn't bother me the sexual assault. We need some crime here. Donald Trump and his entire family
Starting point is 00:27:19 are legally barred from operating a charity in the state of New York because they stole money from children with cancer. Brian, do you have the little game show music where we could just play that for 10 seconds to let that sink in? Or do you think people, should I say it again, they stole money from children with cancer and were not only found legally responsible but are barred from operating a charity.
Starting point is 00:27:51 The president of the United States in one of the nation's most populated states along with California cannot raise money for children with cancer because he stole it before. May not be your kind of crime. It's not a serious crime. I mean, he didn't do anything major
Starting point is 00:28:16 like I'd try to overthrow the government or incite an insurrection Oh, wait! The only reason that he hasn't been found guilty of that is because the trial has not happened yet, and if it does, even if he loses, the Supreme Court has suggested that he could be immune from everything, and those are all the judges that he nominated,
Starting point is 00:28:45 the Supreme Court and the district judge that has delayed this shit. Wouldn't you know who won a pony? So all that is still up for grabs. He's been accused and the processes are winding their way through the court. That would be, you know, like insurrection, things of that nature. But we know what the result is because we know what happened because they had a thing called the January 6th committee where they clearly delineated everything that he did and was responsible for, including some of his people that were working for him,
Starting point is 00:29:29 under oath in front of the government on live television, in front of God and everybody, as Mama Cornett might say, said, yes, he did this and that and the other thing, and yes, I did this and that and the other thing. And they showed the video of what happened. and they had the testimony of the police officers, and they had the testimony of all of the people in the capital that were running for the goddamn basement
Starting point is 00:29:58 because these maniacs were on the loose, including the vice president of the United States, who they wanted to hang, who has come out, and since said obviously, because if you say anything you want about Pence, at least he came through as God, damn not a just an out-and-out criminal. He's a, yeah, I can't support this man.
Starting point is 00:30:26 So there's that kind of crime. But while we're on the subject of patriots and, you know, people who want to overthrow or keep democracy, Brian, and we're still talking facts here, right? Have I deviated from anything that's been publicly seen, known, validated, verified to anybody without their head shoved up of cavernous rectum? I think everything you've said has been factual. Okay, well then how about the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and Trump's generals and national security people who have come out and said he's an idiot, that's a quote, that he's unfit to serve, that he was a danger to national security because you can't trust him with secrets.
Starting point is 00:31:15 That's the generals. That's the security officials. That's the people who the patriots are supposed to be saluting. But they don't believe them when they say that. Because this guy with a diversion because of bone spurs to get out of Vietnam who has been quoted as calling service people who got killed in, wherever, suckers and losers, and made fun of John McCain for getting captured,
Starting point is 00:31:54 the patriots are on his side instead of these goddamn generals with these fucking hawk noses and these buzz cuts that you can tell would love to get in a goddamn good old-fashioned war. And he's unacceptable to them. And have I lied yet, Brian? Have I deviated from any facts that people have said, yes, I'm saying these things right out of here in public. You can quote me.
Starting point is 00:32:22 I mean, you're ignoring the big issue, which is that he can get great numbers for the Undertaker. That's what it's about. Okay. And again, if the Undertaker cares about the country, if the Undertaker is as patriotic as he says he is, then why does he want what basically amounts now to a senile buffoon?
Starting point is 00:32:48 They talked about Joe Biden, a kindly old man with experience and a stutter, they thought his brain was melted. I'll give you three quotes of Donald Trump's over the last couple weeks, and then you tell me if this person either believes these things or is just lying because
Starting point is 00:33:12 he knows that the idiots that will vote for him will believe these things, and do either of these things, things make a person qualified or disqualified for running for the most powerful office in the world. He said, first of all, he said they were eating the dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio, the illegal Haitian immigrants. We laughed about this a few weeks ago, right?
Starting point is 00:33:45 But then when the mayor of Springfield and all the police and whoever the fuck, running Springfield said no all these the Haitian people that are here are here legally a lot of them work at a factory that is reviving
Starting point is 00:34:06 our dying city but besides that nobody's eating any cats and dogs we're getting bomb threats we're getting fucking threats of violence people are coming here the the Haitian people are scared to go outside
Starting point is 00:34:20 can you fucking tell people this is bullshit. They wouldn't do it because they want to scare people into thinking that this is really happening so they will vote for him. They had a border bill, the Republicans and the Democrats,
Starting point is 00:34:40 months ago, to do many of the things that they want to do at the border and Trump talked all of his stooges into killing it because he couldn't run on it then and lie about it. And that's been publicly acknowledged. So again, I'm not lying.
Starting point is 00:34:58 So he didn't care whether or not a bunch of people got fucking in trouble in Springfield, Ohio. And then he said they're emptying. And the reason why crime is down all over the world is because all these countries have emptied their mental institutions, insane asylums and prisons and sent us millions of these dangerous criminal lunatics instead of some fucking Mexican guys who want to do some drywall and make a living.
Starting point is 00:35:36 And now he's got all these sheephole that hang on his every word for whatever unknown mental delusions. I'm sorry, I'm varying into opinion. People are believing this that he's saying it and then you're going to have people trying to run down some guy in a street
Starting point is 00:35:57 because they think he's a fucking mental lunatic from Venezuela. If Trump believes that when it's obviously not true as much as the statistics, violent crime is down. But that doesn't scare anybody. So, and yes, somebody is going to commit a crime. There is going to be an illegal immigrant,
Starting point is 00:36:19 commit a crime today and also a redneck from Warburg and also some fucking guy from Cleveland of a different religion because we haven't figured out a way to stop crime yet and then lastly so I was going to say
Starting point is 00:36:40 if he believes it do you want him to be president and if he's just lying should he be president lastly Brian did you hear this one last week and I saved the funny one for last he said you know you drop your son off at school it's a he
Starting point is 00:36:57 and they come home and it's a she they've done an unauthorized sex change operation they don't even have to get parents permission and this is a quote can you believe we're saying this that's a quote can you believe we're talking about this did you hear that one
Starting point is 00:37:14 I did number one no number two no and number three no no not even because it's not happening and it's never happened it's not actually scientifically scientifically biologically whatever however the fuck possible it's not possible for that to happen what do you think is having a tooth pulled to fuck so no they know they're not to whack willies willy off in third period without asking the parents.
Starting point is 00:37:58 No. But he said that because the Republicans are scared to death of gay people. Hiding the fact that if you go by politicians and or
Starting point is 00:38:12 various people in the religious industry, you will find more Republicans in either field they're being arrested and convicted for various crimes against children. I'll try to say that nicely. And there's another thing. How many people in the Trump administration last time
Starting point is 00:38:34 are already in prison, been in prison, pleaded guilty to shit, were charged with shit. He set a record. And a bunch of them say, yes, I did it. I plead guilty. Please take it easy on me. I'm guilty as shit. I did exactly what you said I did. But that's okay.
Starting point is 00:38:54 How is any of this okay? How is it? Donald Trump is not an acceptable human being on any standard to decent people. And that's why that we are so astonished. When somebody tries to make a case that regardless of what the other side wants to do, within the realm of logic and reason would be worse than having this demented, senile, vengeful, petulant, childish, obnoxious, and incurious intellectually old man in charge of anything.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Brian, did I deviate from any facts or get us kicked off of YouTube? I don't know how much we'll get on YouTube. We'll have to see. We were talking about The Undertaker. Yes, yes. And The Undertaker having Donald Trump on his podcast. which caused you to trend and a lot of people wanted to get your thoughts on it. Yeah, well, those are my thoughts. I trended for that reason. I don't give a shit about trending on Twitter. It's childish and ludicrous, but sometimes it's fun to play with people.
Starting point is 00:40:12 But this is more serious. And I'm disappointed in The Undertaker as I am disappointed in Kane, as I am disappointed in the boys should be able to put aside their. political beliefs and differences to be able to stand up and just know when a guy's full of shit in a con man these guys worship Vince and probably still talk to Vince
Starting point is 00:40:39 but you know what I can even Vince was so smooth I can even understand Vince and he's done it to me the Jedi mind tricks where he's so articulate and understanding and said I mean he looks like Stradivarius next to Trump being some fiddler in a barn somewhere. You can understand Vince getting away with it because of that way he had. But this guy is so invisibly see-through, and it's been documented.
Starting point is 00:41:15 And a lot more people in the Trump administration have gone to jail than ever went to jail for any crime in the WWE. again am i deviating from any facts i think that's true so that's i i can't understand the boys standing up because the boys are idiots why do you act you're acting like these guys are intelligent that's the problem i'm not saying if you were a guy who sat in the locker room and said that glen jacobs really has his head screwed on right then you're a fucking dope and a lot of the guys thought because he was sitting there with his libertarian garbage that he must know what he's talking about i'll follow along with him
Starting point is 00:41:52 him. I heard the Undertaker say, the other day, Kane's the smartest person I know. I saw a quote, like some article from that. But, but I don't know that Glenn has ever committed any crimes. Okay, so now here's a question. Not about committing crimes.
Starting point is 00:42:06 It's about he's, look, you said the truth at the top. He can't win an election right now unless he does what he's doing. But I was going to ask you, but I was going to ask you a question here that pertains to what she was saying to me
Starting point is 00:42:18 and you thought I was going into a different direction. Glenn Jacobs has not committed any crimes. He just panders to a certain segment of society that will vote for that type of thing, right? Because he can't get elected to be a Democrat. He's not an expert in that area. He's doing exactly what Trump does. Self-preservation.
Starting point is 00:42:36 That's what it is. But Undertaker is friends with Kane, right? They're only gimmick brothers. They're really friends. Undertaker's friends with Kane. And Undertaker supports Kane's political aspirations and he's going to campaign for him or whatever the fuck. but at what point
Starting point is 00:42:53 if the mythical Glenn Jacobs was to start to commit crimes and I can see Undertegger's sticking with him through the campaign finance violations again that's paperwork to the good old boys right and the white collar crime
Starting point is 00:43:10 that wouldn't be a deal breaker and again maybe even the sexual assault well she came on to me in the dressing room at fucking Bloomingdale or wherever that was the closest place. But then stealing from children with cancer
Starting point is 00:43:26 and then leading an insurrection where people storm the fucking the fucking capital in Knoxville or whatever the fuck to goddamn overthrow the government of Knoxville and install Glenn Jacobs when he lost the election. At that point does Mark not call him up and said, dude, what are you
Starting point is 00:43:47 fucking doing? That's what I said. That's what I'm saying. When does you do your friends, when they start robbing banks, do you go, this is not the person I thought they were? Where is the line there? Like I said before, do you think he still talks to Vince? Well, again, Vince, like it or not, has not been found guilty of any crime yet. He's married to one of the women who was on the roster. You don't think he, and he was one of the top guys there with a guy who turns out likes to share women or photos of women.
Starting point is 00:44:21 I mean with top guys. You don't think he knows what was going on with Vince in some way? You know, again, with Undertaker, I don't even care if it, Vince loves to fuck around. He's one of the boys. But when you, but Vince, even Vince didn't steal money from children with cancer. For fuck sake. That's what I'm saying is I can, I can, knowing the personalities involved. And if you're really a friend with somebody, I see you overlooking that or seeing
Starting point is 00:44:49 their side of that. but where's the, when you start trying to steal from children with cancer and then overthrow the fucking government, at that point do you have to say, well, fuck, come on, dude. Like the kids say, you don't see my point. No, I mean, I do see your point, but again, I think, I think you... So I'm not, I'm not excusing Vince, but I'm saying even Vince has not been found guilty of felonies and done all these other goddamn thing, same thing.
Starting point is 00:45:17 If you know Vince was fucking abusing anyone or think it, and you still talk to him, then you're part of the problem. Then you're part of the problem, Bruce. I mean, that's what I would say to him. I'm just telling you that it's a bigger problem now. If one person is not getting shit on, we're all getting shit on. This is a bigger issue here. The issue is this.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Undertaker and Trump are going to use each other. Trump needs to get to as many men as he can, and he's going to use a podcast like The Undertakers and various other podcasts and various genres, the Undertaker needs listeners. And he's going to use Trump hoping that he doesn't get too much of a negative blowback to try and...
Starting point is 00:46:01 He was getting blown back on Twitter a little bit too as well as all of the right-wing bots. There were a lot of people that apparently looked like normal folks. So, yeah, I'm really, boy, I'm disappointed in this fellow. You want to hear something really funny? I had noticed this because I never checked my messages, let alone my message requests on Instagram. But the day all this happened, I saw The Undertaker's co-host wrote to me asking if you would appear on the Undertaker's show. He said, if you did that, he'd be willing to come on your show.
Starting point is 00:46:34 And this is before the Trump stuff. So they've been obviously looking for people who can get some numbers recently. Well, yeah, I don't think that that Twain is going to meet. Mark. See what I did there? That's very good. I like that. What I did there.
Starting point is 00:46:49 You think Unabom, you think, Unabom, do you think Kane booked Trump, or, you know, Kane put the connection together? Oh, I would have to think that they're all working in concert because there's an underground, what do they call them, cabal of these Republican people that are supporting the Mango Mussolini. And this election is already the most litigated,
Starting point is 00:47:14 election in American history, it hasn't happened yet. Because the Republicans are filing various types of suits and various types of locale, state, local, whatever, to try to restrict people from voting that they think are not going to vote for them, whether it be minorities in one place or now they're, oh, no, if you're an American citizen and you live in another country, you're still allowed to vote. you're probably there for work or school or whatever the fuck it is and people who are that successful usually tend to be smart and mostly vote Democrats
Starting point is 00:47:53 so they are trying to in some way raise issues with foreign or foreign abroad citizens living abroad I'll say it voting they're trying to do everything they can because in the last what is it right?
Starting point is 00:48:11 you're a smarter young man than I am and remember these things. Out of the last 10 presidential elections, is it eight or nine times that the Democratic candidate has won the popular vote? I don't know the exact number, but it's been just about every time. It's one or the other, but because we have a 200-something-year-old electoral system to make sure that people in Montana don't feel left out, you can be the,
Starting point is 00:48:44 you can come in second and win this thing. And that's exactly how that old Donnie did it last time. So it's not like these people need any encouragement because it's already going to be unfortunately and unfathomably. It's going to be close still with everything that I've just said a few minutes ago. I'm out of breath, Brian. Oh, that Paul Barrow did a shitty job raising those two. I tell you know, absentee fathers.
Starting point is 00:49:16 I thought the fire was the worst thing. He was so busy, he was so busy in the embalming room. You know, what was the... And there's a perfect place to close. Because I'm pretty sure that the same two things have been said about Donald Trump and Vince McMahon. I think by Donald Trump's niece, the clinical psychologist, and I can't remember. Was it Brian Solow? that said it about Vince McMahon.
Starting point is 00:49:42 The clinical psychologist, Brian Simon. The clinical psychologist. So many people could have avoided so much misery if their father could have just brung themselves to hug them and tell them they loved them. And instead, we all got these people. Anyway, you know, I don't even understand what the conversation could be with those two.
Starting point is 00:50:07 You know, I mean, how could it not be just a fluff interview? You're not going to get anything from that? right? I mean, no matter what you think of the people involved, for what the finished product would be, it's a nothing. That's like one of those interviews where you can't really get anything. You can get attention, but you're not going to get anything. Well, no, because Undertaker, I mean, he's again, wonderful, in-ring talent has never been, you know, mistaken for Bob Woodward.
Starting point is 00:50:37 And Trump can't complete a sentence or a coherent train of thought without just launching off into some lunacy now or just the other night in the in the rally where he just stood there and danced to the hits of the oldies for 45 minutes. Did you see that? Lithering lunatic. The best part is Christy Noem being stuck on stage next to him. And she can't
Starting point is 00:51:03 leave. How do you awkwardly leave? She gave him the clothes like three times. Let's hear it for president. Yeah. And then she was acting out YMCA a minute later. Yes. Does he know does he know that the village people were gay? He must. But now think about this because
Starting point is 00:51:24 okay, they're scared of gay people. Gay people are going to kidnap your children and give them sex change operations instead of going to study hall. And trans people who account for I believe under 1% of the population of the United States are, you know, go to mount up against you, but they're playing a gay band's gay anthem. It's literally about meeting other gay men at the YMCA for hookups.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Yes. That's what the song's about. You can do whatever you feel at the YMCA. How is it what? That's what I'm saying? What world are we living in? Why understanding wants the next one to be more masculine? So they licensed macho man by the village. The only thing funny,
Starting point is 00:52:17 then all that, again, it's worth watching for his dance moves. The, I don't even know what you call, just staring off
Starting point is 00:52:23 into space, but kind of moving certain body parts, like almost like the way a little kid dances, like certain body parts are moving, but he's not really moving at all.
Starting point is 00:52:33 And Christy Nob is stuck, and eventually she starts doing dance moves too. That was the funniest thing I've ever seen, at least today. But that was the story of The Undertaker
Starting point is 00:52:45 returning from the dead to kill himself. I don't know what you call that. Kill his reputation. Well, Jim, I don't know if you want to talk about it or talk about it here. Obviously, we have a lot to go through and sponsors too. But another thing, I guess, that came up in the middle of this,
Starting point is 00:53:01 and I don't know if it lended to your trending or if it was a separate thing altogether. No, this was kind of minute and on the side next to the trending because, unfortunately, I... Well, what happened with you and... Val Venus, the former Valvinus, Sean Morley, I think Sean Morley, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Yes, not to be confused with Robert Morley, the fine, fine actor. But no, Valvinus I've mentioned before when I worked with him in the 90s. Sean Morley, excellent worker, excellent talent, he could cut a promo, physique, looked great, you know, excellent in-ring worker. I was never a fan of,
Starting point is 00:53:45 the gimmick per se Valvenus with the big penis because it was a Russo-Riffic you know a deal that he came up with because he's fascinated with men's throbbing fallacies or whatever but yeah great great wrestler and always enjoyed working with him as a producer whatever the fuck in the wrestling we never talked politics at all and I assumed that he was doing well wherever the fuck that he was a couple of years ago
Starting point is 00:54:18 I can't remember whether somebody sent it to me on Twitter saying look at this where I just saw it somehow but I looked and fell down the rabbit hole as the kids say of his
Starting point is 00:54:34 Twitter where it was it was right wing really Republican or conspiracy theorist shit with a hint of Billy Jack Haynes going on. Can you pull up Valvenus's Twitter account? Do I have to? Well, no, you don't have to. Well, I've been put on a list. Since we're going to, since we're
Starting point is 00:54:57 going to talk of me, I don't know, there might be some type of monitoring going on of anybody follows this guy. But since we're going to talk about it, I do not want to be misconstrued. He's on Twitter at Val Venus, Ent, Valviness, the big Valbooski. Yeah, and the thing is what I saw sometime back whenever it was was just, oh God, it wasn't even that he was, and I can't remember honestly whether we had any
Starting point is 00:55:25 interaction at that point on the thing or whether I just blocked it because I thought not only is he one of these people now, but also it concerned me that he was either having some type of issue with substances or with CTE or
Starting point is 00:55:41 like I said, Billy Jack Haynes-ish type of vibe going on because it was so over the top really weird right and I blocked him and then when this thing with the undertaker
Starting point is 00:55:56 and Kane and the flesh bag in the middle sitting there doing the promo together and as I was trying to scroll through and get to the real people from the bots there was somebody I was alerted
Starting point is 00:56:13 to that somebody that I had blocked had said something and somebody replied to it he blocked you a or whatever and what the fuck and it was valvinas and he was said oh i just found out jim cornet blocked me and then something something i always liked his wrestling mind but i understand he's a communist and i said dude this twitter account is nuts that's what i'm saying this is even about like him being a trump fan or a republican or a democrat this is far beyond all of that no no this is some shit where you would expect if you went to his house, he's living in a room with Bible pages,
Starting point is 00:56:51 wallpapering the walls, and goddamn, you know, something's happening. There potentially may be, you know, some element of mental acuity, but in a high functioning way, I don't know how to explain it. How do you explain this? For instance, there's a picture of some woman, I don't know who this is posted of her with her son, little baby, in front of a Harris Walt's
Starting point is 00:57:19 placard, and it says, I just voted for his future. I don't know who this woman is. Val Venus retweeted that it stands the reason to any parent who votes to enslave their children to the central bankers flat currency counterfeiting racket and the extortion racket called the IRS should be considered abusers of children.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Why is the world, why is the world? Why is the world would you vote to enslave your children deeper into the banker state slavery racket? To which she responded.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I'm so sorry, I didn't know all that. I take it back. No, she didn't respond to no. No, I don't know what it is. Yeah, no, no. She didn't want to engage because if somebody came up on the street
Starting point is 00:58:04 in this day and age, in this country, if somebody came up to you on the street just saying that shit, you could probably get away with shooting them. he says the extortion racket called the IRS I'm not an IRS fan or anything but isn't this guy
Starting point is 00:58:18 Canadian can't he just go home well no well he he used to be Canadian but I think he lives somewhere here now and apparently is highly upset with the state of affairs but again can you find a couple of others let me keep keep the flavor going oh I'm looking at these here I mean he says he's anti-state that's why I asked the question why not leave the states why I go back to Canada Well, maybe he's just anti the state he's in and he wants to go to another state, but he can't because of the state he's in. Maybe he just dropped in to see what condition his condition was in. Once again, a couple people, just random people seemingly voting that they, or posting that they voted in North Carolina for Harris. Thanks for voting to deepen our slavery into higher taxes, higher prices, fewer opportunities with far fewer jobs.
Starting point is 00:59:07 much appreciated. SMDH. P.S., enslaving your old children deeper into the central banks counterfeiting racket and their extortion arm called the IRS is child abuse. He's mad at the banks. I'm telling you, somebody over at his local branch of fucking
Starting point is 00:59:27 Chase has pissed him the fuck off. This is fact. Since 1913 with the federal government's imposition of direct taxation on citizens, Patrick Henry has been constantly rolling in his grave. By the way, this is under fact. That's fact. We have underground camera footage of the bones of Patrick Henry that have been
Starting point is 00:59:52 continually spinning. We can't explain it. Until his final days, Henry warned that human nature, when combined with unchecked power, would inevitably lead to the very system we now accept as normal. direct federal taxation, and the growth of a collective Stockholm syndrome towards government authority. Henry firmly believed that the national government should rely on requisitions from the states for any funding or resources, or resources they may need if the federal government's requests were truly in the public interest, the states would willingly contribute the necessary funds and resources,
Starting point is 01:00:35 thus preserving state sovereignty and limiting federal overreach. This man pays for a checkmark to do all this. Wait a minute, wait a minute. So what do you say it is? Oh shit, they're the goddamn hurricane. It's wiped out Miami. The federal government needs to call Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama to see if they'll send some stuff down to help out.
Starting point is 01:01:00 The fuck. What is this? Uh, someone. Wow, Exhibit A for why government education should be completely eradicated from American soil. Roots in all! This is shocking that a human being actually believes that communism is just a group of human beings growing roses, farting strawberries scented bubbles, and washing each other's feet like they are Jesus. SMDH.
Starting point is 01:01:28 In quotes, no government is a communist society? Really? Wow. He seems to be really, he really has a problem with the communists. And the banks and the communists and apparently the people that fart strawberries. See, I don't even know how much of this I could read. There's an image here. Obama resettled 70,000 Somalians to Minnesota.
Starting point is 01:01:52 They elected Omar. Planned? You bet it was. The global communist counterfeiting cartel, particularly through its banking systems, strategically installed Obama for two terms to initiate the prolonged and deliberate dismantling of American freedom, liberty, and culture.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Their ultimate aim is to erode the foundations of Western society, including the core pillars that sustain it. Faith in God and the nuclear family. So can only stop here? Yes, please please do stop there. He seems to have a lot to say. and he's on Twitter, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:34 61 people like this tweet, 41 people like this. Does he have a job? Does he work or is this all he does? I don't know. Maybe he's on disability? You know, maybe somebody keeping an eye on, I don't know if he's married,
Starting point is 01:02:52 don't know if he has a family, don't know where he lives, don't know anything about his personal situation. Hate to see that it has come to this. It's sometimes depressing to see what happens to some of the folks from my generation, but I don't know how to explain what's happening here.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Is this all because Wally Yamaguchi cut off his cock? No, no, he wasn't. He didn't chopy to pee-p-p. He did not chop it. And maybe that's where the, you know what, a wrestler's exaggeration, that's where the story grew about sex changes during the school day.
Starting point is 01:03:26 From Cuy and Tis got his Pee-P chopped off by Cuy and Ty. Well, someone, one of the clickbait magnets out there, tweeted, do you think Jim Cornett should take up Val Venus's offer for a debate? Which, of course, he retweeted. The debate would be epic. Wait a minute. Mr. Wordsmith had a four-word answer? And then again, people were like engaging him, and then it just...
Starting point is 01:03:54 Are now, are they engaging him ironically, as the kids say? I don't know. This person said, I don't have a communism pipe dream, as I'm not here advocating for communism. I'm just here proving that you are just another undereducated mouthpiece for fear mongering. You continue to speak of dictatorships which have nothing to do with communism. Please do some actual reading. Yeah, he's actually insulted the communists because he's got them all wrong. So here's Val Venus's reply.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Wrong! Given the realities of human nature, communism will never exist without a powerful dictatorship. Your understanding of the subject seems rather misguided and spare me the unsolicited advice to read more. I've been devouring books nearly every day since I was 17, so I'm quite well acquainted with the literature. The book... I'm very good at the reading.
Starting point is 01:04:57 I do a little bit of the reading every day. I am well acquainted with the literature. The books I've read and put much effort into comprehending the material on communism over the years include the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. Carl Marx. The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, I read it four times. I bet Carl Moxley.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Hey, now you're talking. You know what? Maybe that is what they're doing. But anyway, the Communist Manifesto by Carl Moxley read four times in one year. Das Capital by Carl Marr Was he serving time? The State and the Revolution by Vladimir Lennon I read it twice, 1917
Starting point is 01:05:42 Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism by Vladimir Lennon, 1916, The Principles of Communism, he's just listing every book about communism he's read. Dude, let it be clear, we are not the same. If you still feel the need to question my grasp of communism, Just ask any to a guy on Twitter. Just ask any talent from the attitude era where they could find me.
Starting point is 01:06:14 They'll tell you I was either in catering, engrossed in political tome, or in the locker room reading political books, or debating the nuances of politics with Kane and Al Snow every single day. So let's stop right there. That was part of Cain's locker room political group. Al Snow and Val Venus? You know what? Now, remember all those times I've cursed and cursed at Vince McMahon for taking up all of my time
Starting point is 01:06:43 and these endless production meetings and things and blah, blah, blah, and being so busy on, I didn't have time to sit down and hear any of this drivel from these fucking people. Well, again, just scrolling through here, he seems that he's against vaccine. You're mentioned here. apparently I'm now the poster child for clueless about communism according to the internet and ex-experts, Twitter experts, especially after my exchange with Jim Cornett. Seems I'm also getting the VIP treatment
Starting point is 01:07:16 from those who comment on pro wrestling news. Any names a bunch of those outlets? Where they've declared me totally ignorant on the topic of communism. Cute, right? after posting about communism for years and calling out America's slow march into it, I'm now being lectured by wrestling fans on geopolitics. So here's a challenge for the armchair scholars who spend their time cheering on comrades Sammy Zane. Where did he come from?
Starting point is 01:07:52 Out of nowhere. Who spend their time cheering on comrade Sammy Zane. Fucking shit doesn't run in out of it. nowhere, Sammy Zane in the conversation. And his commie ilk. Read my last post on the basics of communism and show me exactly where I'm wrong. Go ahead. I'll wait.
Starting point is 01:08:15 I clearly have plenty of time. I'll clearly wait. All right. Well, apparently Sammy Zane. I'll wait. So here's the question. Because does any, has anybody? talked about Valvinus or Sean Morley, formerly known as Valvinus,
Starting point is 01:08:36 has he done conventions of late? Has he appeared at anything? You haven't seen him on TV and however long. Is it maybe? Is it a situation going on where he's in a place where they let you have internet, but, you know, the door is locked from the inside and you're not supposed to go out on your own? Well, they say it's tough to.
Starting point is 01:09:00 overcome your porn past once you move on into society. Did you see he responded to you after you unblocked him? Yes. That's what I think he said I was a No, he said I was a communist before. Yeah, that was before.
Starting point is 01:09:16 And then he, what did he say after? I think I saw one. Thanks for the unblocked, Jim. It's comforting to know a fellow wrestling icon is concerned about my mental health. Oh, that's. Just a heads up. Yeah, well, because I unblocked him.
Starting point is 01:09:32 I unblocked him and I wrote to him. I said, Val, I blocked you a while back because I was concerned. It was either, you know, drugs or CTE, basically. I don't know what's going on, but I wanted, you know, to let you know why that I blocked you. I'm not a right winger. Not even close. Just an anti-state, God-fearing anarchist. so he believes in all this stuff including god but he ain't a fan of the state or the anti-anarchy
Starting point is 01:10:13 or what i just an anti-state god-fearing anarchists keeping the conversation lively educational and productive who knew expressing anti-state pro-god views would trigger such mental make-downs mental meltdowns by you and your statist ilk. He likes the word ilk. But hey, keep up. Because I've been a long, long
Starting point is 01:10:40 time representative of the state. Of the communist ilk. But hey, keep up the fight against us lunatics with CTE. It must be quite the workout. Here's to engaging in some awesome discourse. Love you,
Starting point is 01:10:56 Yakami. P.S. I'd love to interview you for my live stream sometimes if you're interested. Call it the Battle of the Pro-Nanny State Anti-Freatom, anti-God, statist versus the anti-state pro-freedom. I can't wait a minute. Start that again.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Start that description again of who the battle is between. You can call it the Battle of the Pro-Nanny State anti-freedom, anti-God statist versus the anti-state pro-freedom, gun-fearing anarchist, let me know. You might learn something. Learn something.
Starting point is 01:11:39 I can't even keep track of who's a side I'm supposed to be on and who's side I'm supposed to be against with that description. I can't do the debate if I can't remember what I'm for or not. I'm no fan of communism or anything, but this guy's used the word commie or communism more than anyone since McCarthy. What was the last time you heard of? people just ranting in the streets about the commies the commies wait a minute i'm trying to think how they're dead than red how old would he have needed to be i'm trying to think if we find out
Starting point is 01:12:09 that actually he was adopted and his real name was sean mccarthy uh there's a comeback i don't you can't how do you that's the thing with again debating or trying to reason with or discussing or arguing or whatever the discourse is with some of the really bad Trumpers is that if you're not talking about the same real world and one person is just saying, oh yeah, they're eating the dogs and they sent the fucking Hannibal Lecter over here
Starting point is 01:12:49 who he's talked about, well, they sent him, and just all this fantasy, how do you respond to that otherwise and ask somebody to please, the handler needs to come and get this person and take them back to where they keep an eye on these people. See, I'd like to hear more.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Maybe he could debate The Undertaker. Do you think he'll deal with Mid Carter's The Undertaker? I think it would be a fascinating talk. Well, now, so I get, would Val be on the Undertaker's side or is he anti some of that too? No, Kane is,
Starting point is 01:13:26 Kane works for the state. Yeah, he's part of the problem. He's pretty much running one of the biggest towns in the state, so he'd be right up there in the top five. You think he should attack Mike Rotunda, IRS? He hates the IRS. Well, I think he knew probably that Mike was just doing it because he needed the money. This is a fact.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Patrick Henry is rolling over at his grave right now. It's a fact. It's a natural phenomenon. The likes of which we've never seen before, how do you, how would you, again if anybody knows and some independent third party that
Starting point is 01:14:03 what's happening with Sean Morley and is he somewhere where they can care for him or attend to his needs or is there anything that you know that maybe we can do what's going on is he have a roof over his head
Starting point is 01:14:18 and is he getting any kind of treatment I don't know what else to say a serious question about his wrestling career the Valvina's gimmick was pretty good and he was perfect in the role and obviously people still remember that but did the gimmick put a ceiling on how far he can go considering his talent today they revamp people sometimes and it seems to were a la la la la la night from what was his name max duprey max du pre the the illegitimate nephew of Renee Dupree.
Starting point is 01:15:02 That was right at a time where with Austin on top and Rock on top and Undertaker and the ratings through the roof, he was kind of typecast. He was like, did you ever see Darren from Bewitched on another program and not think, well, there's Darren from Bewitched,
Starting point is 01:15:23 either one of them. So that's the thing is, after. That happened many other day watching the ghost of Mr. Chicken.
Starting point is 01:15:31 There you go. It doesn't look right because you're used to people get typecast. Johnny Weissmuller after the Tarzan series ended,
Starting point is 01:15:40 didn't branch out into anything but Jungle Jim. He was not doing romantic leads in drawing room comedies. And then did Val do
Starting point is 01:15:52 anything? After 2001? I'm seriously trying to Was he with TNA? Well, didn't they bring him... They either brought him back or he was still being used and he repacked him. Remember he became...
Starting point is 01:16:05 Was it Bischoff's like second in command? In T&A? No, in WWE and WVE. No, what, no, hear me what I'm telling you again, boy. What I'm saying to you, Senator Claghorn is what I'm saying to you. After 2001, WCW is done, ECW is done, it's only WCW. and then TNA forms what a year or a year and a half later
Starting point is 01:16:31 the point is what became of Valvinas and or Sean Morley's wrestling career after 2001 what has what field of endeavor has he gotten into since then
Starting point is 01:16:47 that has maybe potentially led to whatever's going on here I don't know according to Wikipedia he became a member of the right to censor in 2000 went back to the big Valbozky in 2002, then became the chief of staff by Bischoff. That's what I was thinking of. 2003.
Starting point is 01:17:03 And then from 2003 to 2009, according to this, he was still working with WWE and for WWE. And then independents. Doing what? Was Valvina still, was he still a porn star at that point when they were PG? In late 2007, he began a feud with Santino Morella. During the feud, Morella gave Venus a sneak attack, causing him an injury, and then he lost to Mr. Kennedy. It was during that era where I really stopped watching a lot of these shows.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Well, I was about to say, I didn't remember him actually after the 90s being on television. So I apologize for that. He was in TNA in 2010. Was I there then? I wasn't there then. What's he done for us? lately, does it say he was struck by a car and sustained serious brain injury in 2012 or something, anything to explain what's going on here before we wrap this up? No, no, that's really, he's just on...
Starting point is 01:18:12 Anything, like, for the past 12 years, we don't know what to fuck? Is there that line there? Apparently, he's on Twitter. Apparently, he's very active on Twitter. Well, we've established that. He's been a later career from 2010 to 2019. He worked for elite extreme wrestling, now known as the future stars of wrestling. He defeated Ret Titus in Franklin, Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:18:37 These are one of the career highlights here. Ooh. On an IWC Night of Legends event. Three events later, he challenged John McChesney for the IWC. No, he didn't get up in old Big John's face, did he? For the IWC World Heavyweight Championship, but he was unsuccessful. He then returned to Canada. wrestling for championship wrestling international,
Starting point is 01:19:01 where he defeated Silvan Grunier in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada, and then he defeated Chris Masters the following day. In 2012, he lost to his former partner Big Daddy V in New York City for ECPW five boroughs. In 2013, he returned to Canada once again. Is this this entire schedule for the year? seemingly working with Manitoba's Canadian wrestling elite and British Columbia's elite Canadian championship wrestling. Well, they were really using elite for a lot of those companies up there in Canada
Starting point is 01:19:39 years before, interesting. He reunited with former partner, The Godfather. He toured England for House of Pain Evolution, where he defeated Marty Skirl in... Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, House of Pain Evolution. That's right. Of course, makes actually no sense, but the acronym is hope.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Oh, there you go. So we'll come up with a name that makes no sense, but it'll be a cool logo. Go ahead. Well, that's 2015, the last thing listed here, and what a way to go out. April 5th, 2019, morally teamed with Joey Ryan. Oh, Jesus. And sexy Eddie. Oh.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Losing to Scarlet Bordeaux, Priscilla Kelly, and Martina. in a six-tag intergender match at Russell Con's Joey Ryan's penis party in New York City. And that is the last listed match on Wikipedia. So his last wrestling appearance was being beaten by a girl on a show run by a pervert and sex pest. Well, he was also teeming with the pervert and sex pest. Well, it goes without saying. not just a promoter, also a partner. He's not just the owner.
Starting point is 01:21:02 He's also a member. The penis club for men. That's what they should have called the team there. All right. So again, that's five years ago. Perhaps he was struck in the head by a falling safe. I don't know. I'm not cussing Valvenous and saying he's Sean.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Morley and he's a horrible person, but because there's obviously something happening. But again, I register my disappointment at a lot of people that I've formerly known that apparently there's something happening. Hey, where's the money? Mr. Communist, I thought you're supposed to share of the wealth.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Where's the money? Well, I've been... Where's the money, Corny? I've been fucking... I've been sitting it out in front of your doorstep every month. It's not my fault. You're too lazy to go out and pick it up before somebody steals it. When's the action figure variant with a new red jacket, Mr. Communism? I've already had that.
Starting point is 01:22:04 That was the original. The red jacket and the yellow pants. My red and yellow outfit was, oh, that was a subtle, subtle hint. You know, yellow journalism, red scare, you know. You see, you got involved in the business at a young age and you were influenced by the wrong people and sitting there with Volkerf and Volkharf. With Volkov and Garso, I think they led you down the wrong path. And Nikita and Uncle Ivan, you were around a lot of communists now that I think about it.
Starting point is 01:22:36 You know what? It wasn't any of them. It was Jerry Novak, the Russian invader. He's the one that got to me first. Were any Russian wrestlers, Russian gimmick wrestlers, actually communists? It wasn't, who am I thinking of? Was it George Gordienko? was, didn't they say that he potentially
Starting point is 01:23:00 was a real communist and... Never came back? Yeah. And yes, and never went away or went overseas and didn't come back or whatever. So, but I'm in the modern era, I don't know who the fuck knows. All right. Maybe at one point, maybe Mike Boyette was on enough drugs
Starting point is 01:23:21 that he became a communist for two weeks or whatever, but who knows? Well, that was The Undertaker in Valvina's. Who from the attitude ever will we take down next today, Jim? Well, no, I got to, before we move on, real quick, I got to tell you what I did the other night, I went to see Hotchkis Featherbottom's One Man Show. What? That he put, no, this is not even a rib, it is not hyperbole.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Yeah, okay. He put on a one-man show over at the Clarksville Little Theater in Clarksville, Indiana, right across the bridge. Was it called I Know Nothing About Technology? No, now quit harassing him. He's a wonderful young man, but it was a fundraising event for the theater. They do productions. They're in the community.
Starting point is 01:24:08 They're doing Dracula, as a matter of fact. Not Hotchkhas. He doesn't have the teeth for it. But the point being, he put on a one-man show because there was a... Have you ever heard of a guy named Stephen Banks? Off the top of my head, I don't know the name, no. Okay, well, he's more behind the scenes in modern times, but he had a Showtime special, when Showtime in 1989, I think.
Starting point is 01:24:34 Remember, it was Showtime and HBO, they were competitors back then. And he got a Showtime special. It was a one-man show that he written, written, that he had written and performed called Home Entertainment Center. We're briefly a guy that's having trouble where he hates his job and his boss is on him and he lives in an apartment that his landlords try and kick him out and he's having trouble with his girlfriend
Starting point is 01:25:01 and he comes home after his job and for the next hour and 15 minutes or so he waste time doing some shit that he has to do but he doesn't want to do while he gets phone calls which you hear on the message machine or his end of the call from all these people that are harassing him until finally at the end
Starting point is 01:25:25 he loses his job, he's getting kicked out of his apartment and he's broken up with his girlfriend but then he suddenly gets the dream he's been wanting of being a rock and roll star and you got a happy ending. And he's the only, and in the process of doing this play with dialogue and everything,
Starting point is 01:25:45 one man show, not only did he sing about six songs, but he played the electric guitar, the acoustic guitar, the bass guitar, a banjo, a ukulele, a harmonica, the drums, there's something else I'm leaving out, and a flute, and part of the time he was playing the flute, it was with his right nostril. And it was an amazing, I'm not even kidding again, I'm not kidding, you had to see this thing.
Starting point is 01:26:20 He got it on tape, I believe. Somebody shot it on VHS. But it was a wonderful thing, and a lot of his family was there, and he did a wonderful job. I just wanted to send a special applause out to Hotchkiss Featherbottom. Home Entertainment Center by Stephen Banks performed, as I mentioned, by Hachka's Featherbottom.
Starting point is 01:26:42 You should have seen him. No. No, I'm telling you. The drums were excellent. The drugs? The drums, the drum. He's an excellent drummer, not drugger. I thought you're saying there were drugs.
Starting point is 01:26:56 I was like, yeah, maybe I did miss something. No, it was a very, very calm and stayed audience. There wasn't like a bunch of hippies running around being wild and crazy or anything from The Grateful Dead or whatever. But no, and also the banjo, too. And the ukulele as a matter of fact. I'm trying to think he played some. something else, the harmonica.
Starting point is 01:27:20 How many people were there? I don't know. I was in front row and I didn't turn around. What kind of answer is that? What the hell is that? Well, it was either a packed house or... He did it Friday night and Saturday night. I was there on Saturday night.
Starting point is 01:27:40 I don't know that it, but see, now there was opposition because this place called Derby Dinner Playhouse is right, like two blocks down the same fucking road, and they sell out every one. weekend. They've been there like 50 years and there's goddamn 300 cars in the parking lot. It looks like a Lakers game. So right on the other side of the hill and around the corner is, you know, poor Hotchkis, he was running outlaw that night. I told him, I said, fuck, get out there and salt a fucking popcorn. You'll sell more drinks.
Starting point is 01:28:11 I've never gone to dinner theater of you. I've had dinner and then gone to the theater, but I've never had both of it perpetrated on me at the same time. I don't even know how it react. like the show's happening around you while you eat? Well, no, I believe in some cases they actually come up and eat some of the food off your plate, but I think you have to check. Yeah, that Tony and Tina's wedding. Isn't that the one that they do that? Yeah, well, you have to check the menu, you know, at the start to see whether are you allowing our employees to eat off of your plate or not?
Starting point is 01:28:41 You know what I always wanted to do in a sense that, like, I didn't really want to do it, so I never did it, but I'm still curious. Medieval Times, those commercials have been airing on local TV. I never went. I guess I still could, but I never have. But here's the thing. They're actually, they have horses and they run around and joust and do the things that they do in medieval times, right? So the horses never get hungry and charge into the crowd and start eating people's food? Well, no, I'm asking you, they do have horses, right?
Starting point is 01:29:12 Because I think you see the pictures and shit. Yeah, there's like javelins and all sorts of shit. Yeah, well, regardless of whether, you know, suddenly you're trying to fucking. and cut your steak and you're going to get skewered with an off-kilter javelin, but do you want horses even run around kicking up dust in where you're eating dinner and or they're going to be farting? And I would imagine they don't bathe the horse before each seating of dinner. So do you really want to be eating while you're in a barn with horses?
Starting point is 01:29:45 You ever think about how much better every single major city in the country smells today than it that 100 years ago? Or 150 years ago? Yes, because you see not only the pictures, but when they do the documentaries, they mention that, of course, you know, sewage was almost impossible because of lack of modern sewers
Starting point is 01:30:04 combined with the literal shit in the streets everywhere from every animal in New York with the horse-drawn carriages and they're just dumping manure everywhere than the next people are walking in it. Then they're carrying it into their homes and then they've got shit all over their fucking floors and all over their rugs which they can't clean
Starting point is 01:30:25 because they haven't got shampooers or steamers and then their kids roll around in the filth and the muck and the degradation and the pestilence and then they hug and kiss their children and they swap the fecal matter from lip to lip and tongue to tongue until finally everybody's got some kind of goddamn horrible gut poisoning.
Starting point is 01:30:45 So that's what cars have done for us. All right, this has been happy. talk. Well, you know, speaking, I was talking about Hotchkis Featherbottom before. Yes, sadly. Yes, let me just mention, now he's back to live action at Jimcornaut.com and Cornett's collectibles where, as I mentioned on the last program, already the first, I don't know, now into 100, 150 packages are in the pipeline to go out and more on the way from our big on sale that happened a couple of weeks ago that is still going on. The last Jim Cornett action figure variant. You can see pictures right now at
Starting point is 01:31:23 Jim Cornett.com. And you can get them for half price if you order any tag team set. And of course, the thank you fuck you by T-shirts have been flying out the doors now that they're back on sale. And don't forget, you can sign up for email blasts if you go to Jimcoranet.com and down at the bottom of the home page says sign up for
Starting point is 01:31:46 newsletter, put your email address in each week in November, one item from our voluminous store is going to go on sale for a deep discount. This has been orchestrated by Hotchka's Feather Bottom. It's a new marketing campaign. It's called a temporary sale in a holiday season. It's going to catch on. I know it is. And we'll tell you what it is every week as they happen via the email blast that he invented.
Starting point is 01:32:19 and he plays the flute with his right nostril, ladies and gentlemen. Or was it the left? I don't know. He was facing me. I'm sitting there. And then he was looking back to see if I was looking back to see if he was looking back to see if I was looking back to see if he was looking back to see if he was looking back at me. Yeah. Jimcornet.com.
Starting point is 01:32:41 That's the place to go. That's the place to go. Get your customizable figure of communist corny. Commy, corny. Comrade. Comrade Corny. You know what? All those times that Nikolai Volkov offered to teach me the Russian National Anthem,
Starting point is 01:32:59 and God damn it, I didn't take him up on it, and now I could use it. There's so much I'd offered to teach him it. Hey! I don't think he was singing the Russian National Anthem. I think it was a different song. He, well, but it sounded like it thought it. It sounded official. No, it did.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Yeah, it sounded very official. He had to tone in his voice that made him somewhat authoritarian on that. Well now, Brian, we got to talk about some more bloviating flesh bags that have interfered with my time over the last few days. You had me watch, where does Pierce Morgan do this program that I've watched part of or some of or a little bit of? I could be wrong. I think it's a YouTube thing. Well, you send me the clip. You don't even know where...
Starting point is 01:33:47 What are you? One of these people is just now taking this random shit on... Well, I sent it to you from YouTube. I don't know if that's the official home. Well, you're, you, Stacey got an email editor, or a video sent to her the other day from somebody she knows of breaking news. And that, there was no bug on the screen. And it was complete B-roll of everything with this frantic voiceover of how that these clothes made in a certain factory are going to cause obesity, cancer, and the rotting of your fallopian tubes. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:34:18 A factory. Well, and that's the thing. I don't know. They identified the brand apparently that was selling these clothing, clothesings, all these, many of the clothing. But the point is, everything, it was like when they would go to a shot, a graphic of like the headline, right? Like you would see in the newspaper, like the headline, New York Times, headline reads. No, it's just a headline and down below it says news. And there's no website and there's no website. And there's no source identified and nobody's willing to put their name on this. But people believe this shit. Oh, where was that going with? Oh, so the Pierce Morgan thing. Well, hold on. Because you sent me this link. It's on the YouTube.
Starting point is 01:35:05 But let's see if there's a bug on the screen. You can't hear that, can you? I hope not. My YouTube. There we go. Okay. This is Pierce Morgan uncensored. and there ain't no network bug on this either, is there?
Starting point is 01:35:24 He just does his own show from a studio that says Pierce Morgan uncensored. That's the beauty of modern day. You can do what you needed a network for on your own if you can't find the network to do it with you. Well, he's uncensored this way, except he's on YouTube. How can he say he's uncensored if he's on YouTube? That's true. anyway that's very true so he did this program and how long is this son of a bitch about 45 minutes and i i didn't have time and i couldn't take it but a lot of the folks on twitter again what do you
Starting point is 01:36:02 think about this and they've sent the questions in so we did want to address it i saw the meat of the matter so to speak or the meathead of the matter but for the folks who don't know apparently pierce morgan on his show that's uncensored to a degree has a debate about whether Vince McMahon is a sociopath or not. That's the quote, sociopath, Vince McMahon, WWE debate plus shock guest. And the panel for this is Maven. You remember Maven, Brian, from Tough Enough.
Starting point is 01:36:38 Yeah, tough enough. 20 years ago, I guess it would have been now. Give or take, yeah. And he was in OVW for while I was still there. So yes, it was 20 years. And nice guy, you know, don't have anything bad to say about him. But they were talking about, in large part on this thing, they got into the scandals of the 80s and the ring boy
Starting point is 01:37:02 and the thing because of the shock guests coming up. And also at the same time, yeah, Maven worked there, but so did Howie the mailroom guy. I mean, I'm not saying anything bad about Maven again, but I watched a guy fly plane one time. That doesn't mean that I'm qualified to go on a dog show and discuss whether or not the chairman of the board of Delta is doing the right thing, whatever.
Starting point is 01:37:29 Well, that's the thing, too. It's not just about WWE. They all could speak to the WWE. It's about Vince specifically. And what kind of relationship that a Maven or, you know, anyone else there have with Vince? Well, I'm pretty sure that Maven didn't get to spend a lot of quality time with chairman.
Starting point is 01:37:46 as J.R. calls him. So, but Maven's there. He's an ex-wrestler, right? Then we got Jonathan Coachman. I swear to God, as I, if I ever am picked up for jaywalking even, I wouldn't want Jonathan Coachman as my lawyer. I'd get to fucking share. He has a way, even when he's telling some semblance of the truth,
Starting point is 01:38:09 he has a way of looking like he's trying to weasel his way out of something, doesn't he? Yeah, absolutely. Just the tone that comes off. often when he was asked a question at one point about, I did just, no, he didn't plead his case very well. And he's wearing a t-shirt that says straight to the, I can't see, is it straight to the potty, straight to the fuck of whatever.
Starting point is 01:38:35 At least Maven's dressed up, he's got a jacket, he's got a tie on, Coachman's there to a t-shirt, then we get to, oh, by the way, Charlie, what is her name, Charlie what? I don't know. We could just call her Charlie what? Well, she was an interviewer. Yeah. Some years ago.
Starting point is 01:38:54 Charlie opera singer, opera singer, Charlie Pavarotti, Charlie Caruso. Oh. Is who that, the name that she used then. I was going to say Netropko, but anyway.
Starting point is 01:39:08 No, that, no, he was actually, he was a Polish yodler. No, she had an Natrubko. Oh, That's his sister. She did a fantastic lot, Traviata years ago. But anyway, back to this.
Starting point is 01:39:20 Well, you know, I had an aunt that did a fabulous lasagna. It's just everybody's got their own specialty. But anyway, she's a big right-wing Republican nut, apparently. So she was defending the evil billionaire that was accused of sexual assault,
Starting point is 01:39:35 potentially of her coworkers. And then we come to, from his very own man cave, shit state himself. The show was Russo Riffick, where until the surprise guest came on, I got to be honest with you, it degenerated to where shit stain
Starting point is 01:39:55 was kind of like the most knowledgeable, articulate person on his panel. Maybe he was trying to be nice to everybody. Coachman apparently believed he was being interrogated and until... And Charlie was happy for the gig. Charlie was just happy to be sitting there in front of the skyline of Chicago.
Starting point is 01:40:14 or wherever the fuck she's at on the green screen and then they bring the surprise guest in after they've spent like 10 minutes on a segment talking about well if Phil Mushnik had a and besides Russo I was the only one
Starting point is 01:40:33 in this conversation Russo and me were the only ones that were involved in any of this when Phil Mushnick was actually writing this shit and but but it's such a heel program they're all disreputable
Starting point is 01:40:50 in some fashion or just disinvolved or you know not really the prize of the situation but point being they spent 10 minutes saying mushnik was just Barry and Vince he had an axe to grind he's lying he's cheating he's
Starting point is 01:41:04 stealing he's no good sorry gum bump and sack of snake feces and then Pierce Morgan says well I got a surprise guest, Phil Mushnick. And he's got to be 75 now, or what he, and he comes on, and the other
Starting point is 01:41:20 ones don't really know what to do, and immediately shit-stained senses, I've got a fucking way to get some attention here. And he and Mushnick starts screaming at each other. And God, the problem is Rousseau has no shouting
Starting point is 01:41:36 voice. It's not like that when he gets mad or over the top, or yelling that he sounds more aggressive, he sounds worse. He sounds less, yeah, yeah. But anyway, then they go at each other. And then Mushnik utters the classic line after he's been broed to death. He said, don't call me bro, bro, bro.
Starting point is 01:42:03 And that worked for about 30 seconds until bro was calling him bro again. Again, you know, Both of some things can be true. Both sides could be full of shit or both sides could have a point. But this was a horrible put-together collection of people to argue about anything because then, you know, Rousseau wouldn't quit. He and Mushnick are, well, he's screaming at Mushnick, and Mushnick is like, well, if you'd let me finish. And Mavon just sat back and shut up.
Starting point is 01:42:41 And again, Charlie was, I don't know, thinking about a more happier, Times, whatever the fuck. And Pierce Morgan loves it because he's got this chaos on, on his air. But is it Russo saying, I was a journalist, bro. I was a journalist like he was fuck. Again, like he was Bob Woodward. He was the guy from his own self-funded radio show,
Starting point is 01:43:08 wrestling radio show that he was paying to have on the air. That was the stuff that broke up him in a Resey. Well, that's true. It wasn't even he was, he was paying for it to be on the air. It wasn't even his show. It was Arise's. And he completely misrepresented a lot of the stuff that actually happened. And Mushnick actually had him and then Rousseau tried to pretend
Starting point is 01:43:28 like he won because he's like, you where are they? They show me the negative stuff I wrote. And, you know, he doesn't have the newsletters with him, obviously, to the studio. But he was, according to John Oresi, John Oresi was pushed into starting a newsletter for his radio show by Rousseau.
Starting point is 01:43:44 Yep. Rousseau, who graduated with a journalism... Because he wanted to be a writer, bro. Well, he graduated with a journalism degree, but I don't know that he actually wrote anywhere before then. And then it was under the guise of being a journalist with pro wrestling spotlight, which he had been for months.
Starting point is 01:44:02 And also, because I didn't know clown boy here, but I knew John Resey and was at his first weekend of champions. So I saw the pro wrestling, spotlight bulletins and newsletters, whatever you would call them. And I was like, you know, but
Starting point is 01:44:23 what the fuck? It's a local radio show, right? It's not supposed to be on the newsstands at, you know, Times Square. And you'd be surprised if you were told someone from that newsletter had a journalism degree, is the other big thing. That would have been a more shocking development. Then, I mean, if it was like, okay, this is the best we can all do. I've seen some slapped together shit in wrestling business. But if you're talking...
Starting point is 01:44:45 Someone that actually was trained in this endeavor. No, fuck no, bro. But when he says I went there as a journalist and I saw that Vince's side wasn't getting out and I wanted to be fair and give him a chance, that's very different than I went there as someone who had just got in with a Rezi, took over this newsletter thing, and immediately met Vince and Linda and figured out a way in for WWE and worked on it for a few years. Yes, and the split with Erezzi who started the radio program and Rousseau was the sponsor came because Russo was saying, but bro, but bro, if we don't bury these guys,
Starting point is 01:45:20 they'll give us guests and they'll send the wrestlers over to be on our show, bro. And instead, the show actually reported on what was happening in the news. It wasn't ignoring what was in the newspaper. And that part's true. The other part that's true is that Phil Mushcheek's a fucking miserable guy. Oh, yes, yes. I read the New York Post. Let me give you the last several headlines, just the headlines of his column.
Starting point is 01:45:45 Clueless TBS has made ALCS unwatchable. Vin Scully would be dumbfounded by today's MLB broadcasters, incessant screaming. MLB's abysmal playoff coverage somehow finds a way to hit a new low. Playoffs can't keep MLB networks from insulting their viewers. Greed has made a mess of the MLB playoffs. there was nothing redeeming in Pete Rose's character how to fix insufferable NFL pregame shows Shohei Otani's historic season
Starting point is 01:46:28 enabling MLB's money first con NFL's treatment of fans creating once unfathomable ticket reality sports would have already moved on from past concern for athletes' health It's just one thing after another, after another. Well, I remember when we talked about him, for whatever reason, he came up a few weeks ago on one of the shows.
Starting point is 01:46:52 What I said, it wasn't just, it wasn't like just a crusade against Vince. Vince McMahon is a horrible person individually, whatever. Then I wouldn't have been able to work up a lot of indignation. But he was this horrible attitude, this fucking snotty, self-important, condescending wise ass with this axe to grind with the world this miserable malcontent and nattering nabob of negativity
Starting point is 01:47:22 the way that he presented it it wasn't Vince it was everybody in a wrestling business is a piece of human slime and the wrestling business is the lowest thing that could possibly exist and anybody who watches this stuff is a complete goddamn idiot and buffoon and fuck all y'all at it all
Starting point is 01:47:42 all ought to be stopped. That was the attitude. And so that's why I said, sometimes all of these people can be assholes. Yes, they're all either out to get a fucking spot on Pierce Morgan uncensored for some attention or because they were called up and they like to do interviews or whatever the fuck.
Starting point is 01:48:04 But that doesn't mean that Phil Mushnick is not most miserable, malcontented, complaining, griping professional fucking shit disturbers of modern journalism history. Yeah, and it's not to say he's not right about things. But again, everything is the negative. Here's a few more headlines. Sports TV remains bereft of dignity and common sense.
Starting point is 01:48:33 Too many broadcasters have too much fluff rather than opting for silence. I'll agree with him on that. John Smoltz is really good. He needs to shut the fuck. up every now and then. Here's one. ESPN's disgusting influence is infiltrating Little League World Series. And maybe the last one here. What made Hawk to a girl first pitch for Mets even more shameful. And he may be right about that. Apparently the game she threw at the opening pitch for was camp day where like the camps come in the middle of the summer to the baseball game. And
Starting point is 01:49:11 Here to throw the opening pitch. Google her kids. Bobby, can I see that girl on your phone? See, I always love camp. But anyway, yeah, so they're still debating Vince's conduct or the good, the bad, and the ugly of it, or whatever, and then this was a cast of characters.
Starting point is 01:49:37 And the big aha moment when here came Phil Mushnick to defend himself. and it degenerated into chaos. It was like they wanted to do a show on wrestling, and they should. It'll get viewers and the Vince thing is in the headlines. A lot of people, a lot of people I know who don't like wrestling. Some don't even know I have anything to do at wrestling have mentioned watching the Vince McMahon thing. So it's more about people remembering things from the childhood and now learning that he may be a disgusting pervert.
Starting point is 01:50:04 Well, yeah, just the other day, I watched a documentary on the history of bluegrass music. I haven't been in the bluegrass music business, but I watched a documentary on that so I can see that. But the thing is, neither Bill Monroe nor Ralph Stanley nor Flat and Scruggs, none of them were apparently were sex pests. Well, my point was going to be, I can understand wanting to do a show about all this. You'll get viewers. This was the panel they can get? No, that's the, well, that's the problem. That's the panel they could get, apparently.
Starting point is 01:50:36 Like you said, I'm not a Russo supporter, but he's, was at least there during the attitude era and quite frankly he's just going to spin a Vince defense which is kind of what he was doing Charlie like she was there for a few years recently recently and then Maven hasn't been around in a while but you know at least he's like active with a podcast and stuff what's the last time you heard of coachman after he got fired from ESPN I haven't heard anything about him oh I didn't even know he got fired from ESPN did I or do I care enough that I knew and I forgot. Was that a sex pest situation too?
Starting point is 01:51:13 I don't know. It depends on what his t-shirt says here in this thing. I wonder if I could get a close-up of... Let's clarify this before we wrap this up because we may have to edit that up. Oh, straight. No, straight to the pay window is what it says, I guess. I guess. Well, wait, straight to the pay something.
Starting point is 01:51:29 I can't see the shot. Yeah, straight to the pay window. That's what it says. So he's just... Apparently wearing one of his gambling sponsors or possibly he has an issue of his own. That's why we haven't seen him lately. He's out on the streets. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:51:47 But it looks like he should have, if he wanted to be taken as an expert in something, at least put on a collared shirt. For heaven's sake, pal. Pierce is not even wearing a tie on his own show, though. Yeah, I have something here. This is from 2018. W.W.E's investigating announcer, Jonathan Coachman. Remember, Vince brought him back.
Starting point is 01:52:09 I forgot all about that at the end. Investigating an announcer, Jonathan Coachman, amid allegations that he sexually harassed a coworker during his time at ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports. You know, the truth is, I think it's... Vince brought him... Vince was assembling all of the team together
Starting point is 01:52:32 of anybody who'd ever been affiliated with any kind of... The Connecticut way. Persuasion or whatever. The Connecticut way. Going to give her a dirty Connecticut. Yeah, I don't know. Well, that's it.
Starting point is 01:52:46 That's the, uh, for Mushnik Rousseau. Both guys looked horrible. Mushnick looked unhinged. That's the other thing. He couldn't really articulate his argument quick. So, no matter what, he was getting just trounced. And then he was going to say, uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah. You got to say something.
Starting point is 01:53:02 You actually have an argument. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, uh-huh. Well, I'll tell you know what, all of them, to be honest, they look older than they are. They're not aging well. Maybe Charlie, but it'll catch up with her.
Starting point is 01:53:20 Erosion will set in sooner or later, but they need to take better care of themselves. And I think if they were cutting down on the sugar and the carbs and they were upping the protein and trying to drink things that taste good but at the same time are better, for you than the packaged products with the poisons in them that we see today on our on our shelves of our stores Brian I think if they had just before they did that program if each one of them had popped the top on a delicious 30 gram protein shake chocolate fudge from our friends at Orgaine and down that bad boy they'd have been in a better mood for that whole program wouldn't they I absolutely think so I start every day with
Starting point is 01:54:06 one there's so delicious it's like having an ice cream cake or a chocolate cake for breakfast well except it's liquid so it's not really like having a cake well it tastes like it's a delicious taste for well you could you can say it tastes like a delicious chocolate milkshake you'd get at one of those 50s diners on the side of the road where some girl in a a sweater next to you with her cleavage you know protruding there oh would would would smile and wink at you while you sipped your shake with a cherry on top and then later on she'd give you her cherry off of her milkshake. Well, that wasn't on happy days. It tastes like that, folks.
Starting point is 01:54:46 And boy, I'll tell you what, you can try it and see that you get nine, all nine essential amino acids. Were you aware, Brian, that there's only nine essential amino acids? I get upset when I get something and there's only seven of them or six. Well, you don't have to worry about that with organes 30 gram protein shake because they're an excellent source of complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. It gives you energy to keep going.
Starting point is 01:55:13 Muscle support and recovery to go further. Maintaining an healthy lifestyle to even go further. By the time you get there, you won't know where the fuck you're at. It helps manage hunger. It promotes healthy weight management in combination with diet and exercise, or you could just go on naked and afraid. You'll lose some fucking weight,
Starting point is 01:55:34 but it's easier to drink in this shit. And only one gram of sugar per serving, no soy ingredients, no artificial flavors or sweeteners or all of the various artificial things that can get you in trouble and make your innards turn to jelly. And you can do it easily because Dr. Andrew Abraham,
Starting point is 01:56:00 who is a fine purveyor of nutrition, all his life he's supported and promoted the idea you got to have nutrition you know what Dr. Andrew Abraham said to Mama Cornette one time no he said I'd rather eat good food than bad food any day
Starting point is 01:56:17 and she agreed with him she didn't agree with him this conversation never happened he may actually say that and believe that but they never talked well how do you know were you around mama Cornett following her around what's the matter with you you some kind of sex pest but anyway
Starting point is 01:56:32 Dr. Abraham would have left his medical practice and founded organ just to create foods and foods food and vegetables. Fouts and bedibles. And founded organ to create foods and beverages that offer better nutrition for people. If he didn't believe in it, he's not going to take a chance like that. But you know, he was homeless for a period of years.
Starting point is 01:56:59 Before he was trying, he was selling organ out of the trunk of the car. people were trying to snort it through the straw instead of drink it. No, what are you talking about? None of this is true. Dr. Abraham has always had a home. Well, it just depends on what you call a home. You've heard the phrase, you've always got a home here with us until you've been on a couch for a week and any ungrateful bastard will kick you out.
Starting point is 01:57:23 But right now, folks, if you'd like to feel better and drink a delicious chocolate shake and know that it's good for you at the same time. Yeah. You're going to have to poop any minute. Yeah, let's go. Well, then orgain's 30 gram protein shakes are available at orgain.com. That's org-a-in.com.

Starting point is 01:58:44 No, thanks. You could drink after me. It's okay. No, I do not do that. I've had my shots. You're cooties, no. Anyway, what are we supposed to be? You want to talk about some Smackdown, get that out of the way?
Starting point is 01:58:58 Yeah, some interesting developments this week on Smackdown. Well, that's true. There were, and it's all about the bloodline. This was October 18th, right, from Columbia, South Carolina. It was the best use of the bloodline because they didn't wrestle. It was just all the theatrical segments that they actually excel in. Well, and that was very well and concisely said on your part, because that's the thing.
Starting point is 01:59:21 I realized at the end of the program, if this had been a one hour like a primetime evening dramatic program, I would have watched it and loved it because that was just the bloodline stuff. And then they just had to put the other stuff in the middle with the rassling and everything. But they were in Columbia,
Starting point is 01:59:41 South Carolina. I thought, what would Henry Marcus think? My God, Henry Marcus would have been jumping up and down like a chicken on a tin hot tin roof. Tell the people who that is. Henry Marcus was the Telda people. Of course, the cult of Coronet already knows. Henry Marcus is a household name.
Starting point is 02:00:03 Henry Marcus was the old promoter in Columbia, South Carolina, still in the 80s, when Crockett ran the township auditorium in Columbia. And Henry Marcus had been promoting wrestling since before there were territories, back when Charlotte was a booking office before television, and Jim Crockett, Sr. booked the talent in that area, but Columbia was Henry Marcus's town, like Sam Muchnick Rand St. Louis, Paul Bosch, Houston, the days where a promoter really had one town
Starting point is 02:00:39 and was able to, you know, do wonders with that town. But Henry Marcus was probably five and a half feet tall, and in 1986 he had to be, if he wasn't 80 years old, he looked 80. And he was kind of scrawny at that point, but we called him high pockets Henry Marcus because he still wore suits like you'd see in the movies in the 30s and the pants came up to his nipples.
Starting point is 02:01:07 Right? We used to joke that when he had to reach in his back pocket and pull his wallet out for any reason, he reached over the top of his shoulder. And he would just scron, any talk like that. Yeah, boy, I haven't seen a crowd like this in here since we had Gorge George in 52. And just the classic, you know, pro wrestling promoter from the old old days.
Starting point is 02:01:34 And I had to, I guess, do you think, as Henry Marcus on Wikipedia, would Wikipedia go that deep? Are you, are you blowing me off or are you just... I'm looking right now? is in deep research. It's a deep nose. No, there's no Wikipedia entry seemingly for Henry Marcus. Henry, M-A-R-C-U-S. That's correct.
Starting point is 02:01:59 Nothing. You got that right. Well, what about just a regular Google? There's a Mike Mooneyham's column on top of up. You didn't ask for the Mike Mooneyham column. You said Wikipedia. Well, I'm just wondering. I follow the rules.
Starting point is 02:02:11 I follow the rules. How old would Henry Marcus be now if Henry Marcus was living now? Do I need my translator pen? Hold on. He died. In 2004, he died at the age of 93. Wow. So 2004, 19, he was born in 1911, right?
Starting point is 02:02:34 So it went on, he was, okay, in 1986, he was 75 years old. But anyway, you know, one of those classic characters. But, you know, the building now in Columbia, South Carolina, Carolina, they had a bigger building that we ran a few times in the TBS years and still didn't have a crowd like this in Colombia. Columbia must have grown substantially over the last 20 or 30 years. What would Henry Marcus have thought? He'd still be out in front of the box office, going, go, no, you got you dig inside, keep your stubs, keep your stubs. Anyway, so the bloodline is what we were talking about, right? I don't think we had started talking about them.
Starting point is 02:03:17 well you were wanting to when I wanted to talk about every market oh that's right I very concisely said that there are segments where they talk to each other and exhibit drama sometimes better than the actual matches exhibit drama so actually we should we'll go through and just give it to you all in a row because the first thing that you saw the cold open was last week where things were breaking down and there were Jimmy Uso came back but he and Roman still got left laying and Jimmy was like to Roma's like we need help
Starting point is 02:03:51 but then they established a little thing in the back that Jay still won't talk to Jimmy he's like no no yeat so there but the first live thing on the program is solo and the Tongas and Jacob
Starting point is 02:04:10 coming to the ring to do a promo and again all they need to do is see these guys and the people are chanting OTC, OTC. They're with this thing and they take their time getting in the ring, all the pomp and the pageantry, and then Solo does the acknowledge me, and they fucking boo big.
Starting point is 02:04:34 And they chant Solo sucks, Solo sucks. It's like it's a studio audience. So anyway, Solo put himself over and his promos are getting better. notice I think he's getting a little more comfortable with it. A little bit, maybe. And he put himself over, and the story he's created a bigger, stronger bloodline at Roman Raines can't do nothing about it. Or Jimmy, look at what we did to him.
Starting point is 02:05:03 And Jay doesn't want nothing to do with it either. And the people start saying, yeet, yeat, yeat. And he says, these beatings are going to continue. We're going to still keep beating all Roman. reigns unless he comes out here and he acknowledges me and then all of a sudden Jay's music plays
Starting point is 02:05:26 and here he comes down the his normal entrance from up top down through the people and the big reaction and they're waving and they're yeating and they're spitting about and
Starting point is 02:05:42 he confronts them all by himself in the ring to solo what's up little brother but have you noticed I've realized now part of the problem with Jay Uso's promos is that by the time he gets to the ring from doing all that horse shit
Starting point is 02:06:00 he's so blowed up he's trying not to breathe hard and by trying not to breathe hard I think he's blowing himself up worse could you tell that? I could tell that here this specific promo when he first started he was out of breath completely
Starting point is 02:06:14 yeah and he's trying not to show that he is and that's a sometimes like he can only say if he was so he yeat yeat gets him a breath or two but his man's a genius
Starting point is 02:06:27 well you know but at the same time I wish maybe he take 30 seconds just do some fucking hyperventilating in the corner and it come out normal but his story was that he still cares about solo he's his brother
Starting point is 02:06:44 but he wants to talk to him because think about what you're doing to the family you know I left to become my own man I became the intercontinental champion and now the people are chanting you deserve it he can't even get his pitch out they're chanting at him again and this is no good
Starting point is 02:07:03 fighting over the Ulifala is no good it's earned it's not taken in the family and sis and mom whatever right and Solo busted in on him and kind of kicked it in That's why I'm there on the promo.
Starting point is 02:07:19 He was making fun of Jay. He got to be as sarcastic and not just that stone face that, you know, we were seeing at one point in time, right? But anyway, he's telling Jay that I'm the tribal chief, and you're always got a place in my establishment here, whatever, but you have to acknowledge me. Are you in or out? and they again they're chanting OTC OTC
Starting point is 02:07:50 and then Jimmy said why'd you have to go get these three look at them there's a reason that we stayed away from them and say again this story where these guys were the ones that were too too bad for the original bloodline what now go ahead well that line there's a reason was that specifically about Jacob or was it about all of them I think it's all of them
Starting point is 02:08:15 I thought that was just about cousin Jacob. Well, I think it's all of them because now that they're trying to, because let's face it, the Tongas are a little dry, right? Dry is the beach on Tonga. So maybe they're trying to bring them in as far as being, because they're just, and truthfully, they're the tag team champions, but they're also flunkies whenever one of the top singles guys wants to beat everybody up. Because they can't beat up Jacob and they can't beat up solo.
Starting point is 02:08:44 so but nevertheless you know I think he's either that or maybe Jimmy just fucked it up I don't know but you know there's reason we stayed away from him makes them dangerous but that's when he looked at
Starting point is 02:09:00 Jacob said if you keep looking at me like that I'm gonna knock your ass out and that got a huge pop and I wrote then I'm loving this because this is great they're doing a good job and everybody is it's got something going on they're keeping it fresh
Starting point is 02:09:15 as Solo of course keeps Fatu back and or not Jimmy rather if I said Jimmy earlier but Jay Jay said next time I see you it's going to be a different or it's going to be different Yeat and then Jay leaves while Solo
Starting point is 02:09:37 has his hands out where he's not holding them back like they're trying to pull loose from him but he's just he's in control of him. So now Jay has an issue with these people, but he still don't trust his brother and his what is Roman, the cousin or the
Starting point is 02:09:58 cuss or whatever the fuck is going on. Well, based on what happens in this show, it doesn't seem like the issue is really with his brother as much as with Roman, specifically. And you can understand that if you remember anything about the actual bloodline history. Well, it don't sound like condescending Uncle Dave to me. I'm willing to learn. Jim!
Starting point is 02:10:17 Jim! You know that if you remember I'm just saying that there's still a level of mistrust amongst the original bloodline members because of the way that everything went down.
Starting point is 02:10:31 Do they need to give Jacob Fatu something every few weeks where he just has a display, even if it's like a handicap man, just something, if he's going to be standing there a lot, not doing anything because he's the bodyguard
Starting point is 02:10:42 and it's just about his face? should they give him, you know, little displays just to reinforce what he could do? Yes, and I think they have been giving him some little displays in terms of, you know, when he gets a spot in the finish where he knows sells something, or he's the one that wipes somebody out, or he's the one that turns the tide. But I agree with you that I, you know, even once a month, put him against two whoever the fucks and not even job guys, but just two fucking guys, they obviously don't mind beating people around here.
Starting point is 02:11:14 and just let him do a handicap match and do his shit. Stay away from the little fucking headbutt. But that was a 17-minute segment right there, and that was great stuff. And it didn't get old because it kept moving and there was some twists and turns. And it was the best thing with Jay Uso in a long time. Yeah. Because it really went with his strengths, which is doing these kind of segments with the bloodline with his family. That is what got him over.
Starting point is 02:11:43 and the Yeat thing has been the thing happening on Raw, but this is the Jay Uso I like. Well, and then continuing on with the, and then we'll come back and pick up some other things that happened, but it's to keep on with the bloodlines so that we don't lose track of the players in the game. Here later on, an SUV pulled in the back, and there gets out Roman Raines and Jimmy Uso,
Starting point is 02:12:08 and why can't anybody get to the show on time? And have you noticed that that usually in AEW, it's 830 in the middle of a two-hour show, and they're leaving the building. But here, it's 8.30 for an 8 o'clock live show, and they're just getting there. Well, things are a lot more lax now that Vince is out of the way. But he did say he watched it because he referenced the J. Uso promo. He must have watched it in the car. Or maybe they got one of these fancy Dan phones that plays TV now.
Starting point is 02:12:41 I've heard of those. I think they hand those out when you become a secret agent. But anyway, they get out of the SUV, they're walking in. Well, they were talking about playing a rap song too that they were listening to in the car. I hate that I miss that. When so they see Jay and Jay tries to walk away from him, but Roman Rain stops him, and Roman says to him, he looks he says, he says, says, he looks and he says to him seriously,
Starting point is 02:13:18 I'm proud of you. We all are. And Jay looks back and says, no yeat. And walked away. And in Romans, like, to Jimmy, I told you so. I told you so. The yeat was silly in that situation, in that spot,
Starting point is 02:13:39 whether it's over or not. I don't care if Jay had just said, if he hadn't said anything, if he just turned around and walked away from him, it would have made the point that Roman had tried to extend the olive branch and Jay had turned it down. But no yeat sounds frivolous for that particular context, doesn't it? I mean, it didn't bother me terribly because it goes in line with everything he's done for the last few months, but I could see your point,
Starting point is 02:14:11 it probably would have been stronger if he had broken that for a second there. Just to respond differently. Just the once. With that set, he's right. Why should he forgive Roman? I told you, he'd be like, told you what? He'd remember what a dick you were? Ordering him around, talking down to him in front of the crowds,
Starting point is 02:14:33 making him turn on his friend Sammy. So I don't know, I'm up on Jay Uso side here. Well, this is. to be resolved because later on in the back Jimmy was still telling Roman that he should talk to Jay and Roman was like I tried to try to try to talk to Jay we already talked to Jay and oh and at first Jimmy had been when Roman was deep and thought Jimmy had been over his shoulder and the camera widened out of Roman looks up and he's kind of startled like why are you so close to me he was sitting next to him looking over his shoulder
Starting point is 02:15:12 older like Heyman used to. And Jimmy was saying, you know, the wise man's not here. It's not trying to be like the wise man. And Roman says, if the wise man was here, this would have been done by now. So, would it be good if somebody
Starting point is 02:15:30 said, what the fuck actually was the matter with Hayman? The extent of he got power bombed and on the desk and suffered a cervical blah blah and he can't move his jaw. Because they seem pretty jolly talking about him.
Starting point is 02:15:47 It wasn't like the wise man, rest in peace. Yeah, no, he's not dead. He's not dead. You just know he's coming back, but they haven't said exactly what was the matter with him or how long it would be or not even how long it would be, but one would think they would say, poor, poor wise man, what he did to him. He's still bedridden or whatever. Anyway.
Starting point is 02:16:11 Listen, the first time has a surprise. The fans here, ladies and gentlemen from Hayman, it's going to get the biggest pop manager has gotten in WWE since Paul Barrow returned. Oh, yeah. At WrestleMania, what was it, WrestleMania 20, when all of a sudden you heard, oh, yeah, and a place came unglued. Because it meant that the Undertaker wasn't a badass anymore. He was dead once again.
Starting point is 02:16:32 Do you think that that's the way that they baby face Brock Lester back into this thing somehow by that the baby face bloodline is still one man short? and there's no way they're going to triumph and write it to last minute in time for people to order the pay-per-view or whatever the fuck you hear. Ladies and gentlemen, and out comes Haman and Brock to be the evening up force. It's interesting, and there's still a lot of stuff they left up in the air with Brock and Cody, and you've got to figure at some point you've got to get Cody pulled back into this before WrestleMania. We'll see. I mean, Haman has to be, the fact that them mentioning Haman means it has to,
Starting point is 02:17:15 be close, you would think. Well, I don't know. They still didn't mention his name. They just referred to him. But nevertheless, um, if they were sitting there and finally Roman says, I'm going to fix this my way.
Starting point is 02:17:30 And Jimmy says how? And Roman says, I'm going to acknowledge solo. And now again, this is great, right? Oh, my, dun, dot, dot, da. So then we have some more programs. and then finally last thing
Starting point is 02:17:48 Roman Raines's entrance gets the big reaction OTC OTC Columbia South Carolina Big Pop on that maybe for the last time acknowledge me big pop there and in Solo's music plays and out he comes and he's alone
Starting point is 02:18:09 and he's wearing the Ulifala so they have the summit meeting of the original and the well would that be classic and new tribal chief like classic Coke and new Coke or
Starting point is 02:18:25 I guess Coke's not involved anymore since the 90s but Roman says hey you told Jay that our family and bloodline is stronger now I don't see it I think we're divided and we're broken
Starting point is 02:18:41 and Roman he's taking the acting the acting less or whatever he's doing, because he's ready for Hollywood. And the facial expressions, when he's thinking about things and milking things and just twitching. And he's, I told my father, I could fix this. All I want to do is put us back on top.
Starting point is 02:19:02 So what do I have to do to fix this? And Solo said, it's easy. Acknowledge me. And the people are chanting OTC again, and Roman milks it. And again, they got the close-up. and the wheels are turned and his jaw is clenching and his cheeks are twitching.
Starting point is 02:19:25 And finally he says, I acknowledge you. There, does that make you feel better? No, no, no, no, that's not good enough. Acknowledge me as your tribal chief. And now Roman Moore twitched. He's really twitching. And the crowd is like, no, no, no.
Starting point is 02:19:46 And Solo says, acknowledge me or else and Roman finally bows up and screams or else what? And then Solo starts laughing at him because he knew he could make him break. You never change. I knew it and I'm not going to change either.
Starting point is 02:20:05 And here come the Tongas and Jacob Fatu out the entranceway dragging Jimmy Uso where they beat him up in the back. And Roman and Solo getting a fight. Boom, boom, boom, and Roman dumps solo. And then he nails the Tongass, and he levels Jacob.
Starting point is 02:20:27 And Superman punches Solo. And he's laid waste to everybody, and he sees the Ula follow there, and he picks it up, and he puts it on, and the pop is huge. But right as he's putting it on, probably a little bit early, squash the pop. Solo nutshots him, and the heels get some heat on him. and Jacob does the DDT and then Solo hit the spike twice on Roman
Starting point is 02:20:54 and so Jacob could present and re-adorn Solo with the Ula Fala while the people are chanting Solo sucks, Solo sucks! Either that or Solo fuck-so I couldn't tell for sure. But I mean, this is fucking great! This is a great shit again! They're to remember
Starting point is 02:21:18 Mercedes two years ago This is a great shit How long are they keep this up? What'd you think? I enjoyed everything With the bloodline this week on the show. Everything in between is another story. But all the bloodline stuff was great
Starting point is 02:21:34 And they're building things up to the point Where when the show went off the air I actually was at that moment Like, I want more I want to know where this is going It's kind of what you want from your wrestling show. I can't wait for next week's episode To at least see the non-wrestling segments.
Starting point is 02:21:49 Yeah, if they could just get that pesky wrestling out of the way. We did miss talking about the street profits with B-Fab versus Champa and same-face versus purely dreary in a three-way time filler where the winner of this would wrestle the winner of another one for a title match at a later date. So that was that. Tiffany got the flu so Aldus forced the refrigerator to get another partner and in walked Candy LaRue
Starting point is 02:22:27 the most diminutive little larvae on the roster and so she became the partner I wrote maybe she'll squish her and we saw Piper Niven versus Lash legend and then at 9 o'clock was Cody Rhodes
Starting point is 02:22:48 and again, boom, out he comes, the big response, the whoa. He literally kissed a baby on the way to the ring. Did you see that? They found a baby somewhere, and he's there making over the baby. Before you go any further, I'm just going to say this right here at the top. A few more weeks of this, he's dangerously close to becoming Bob Backland in terms of just squareness. Yeah. And in these promos, it's like a kind moxley at times.
Starting point is 02:23:21 Like, what is he even saying? Well, why would anyone want to be behind him other than the fact that they already are? He needs to be like directed and assert. I don't know. He needs to be, Cody, just talk about this person or what you're going to do, not platitudes, not comments for all the people everywhere. Just don't do that anymore. While you're dressed like you're running a Nickelodeon in 1855.
Starting point is 02:23:45 They weren't back then, but you get the picture. We'll see. He was the heel and the around the world in 80 days cartoon. But no, they're chanting Cody and they love it, but yes. And he, okay, points out the big crowd. And it brings them into it, and that's great. And he cut a promo on being the first crown jewel champion, and they're pushing that ugly ass belt.
Starting point is 02:24:17 But he's like, what if, Harley Race had faced Bruno Samertino. What if Nick Bockwinkle had faced Rick Flair, Goldberg versus Austin? At Crown Jewel, there will be a definitive Crown Jewel champion. And he started talking about Gunther. And that's where I think this is, he's not being too much of a baby face. He's being too much of a, he's crossing the line into a little prissiness. he's doing the dusty cadence
Starting point is 02:24:48 but he's not doing the the dusty having a bill like one of the boys type of thing you know because Dusty wouldn't have worked as well if you thought the dusty character's life goal was to go to Harvard yes there you go
Starting point is 02:25:03 Dusty's character's life goal was to beat up everybody that graduated from Harvard but you know Cody needs his daughter to know that he's the champion and he invited Gunther to Smackdown next Friday night so that he can ask him
Starting point is 02:25:22 Hey champ, what do you want to talk about? It just, it he's kind of smiling and smirky and and I don't know, like you said, he can be a very good baby face but there was nobody here to juxtapose with to counterpoint him
Starting point is 02:25:41 to bully him so he could be the sympathetic figure it. It was a little verbose and a little, a little snoop-it-snooty. I started to say uppity or snooty, and it became snoop-y. The problem is Cody practices talking in a way that doesn't sound natural. And then once you do that and you start putting words that, if people are used in everyday conversation, it would sound more natural. And it creates the problem. But because they don't. Yeah. And I think that's, You know, it's a little bit of the Moxley disease sometimes with Cody. He wants to say things that in his head sound good.
Starting point is 02:26:20 Maybe when he's letting people check out his promo in advance, maybe they say it's good. Workshop shopping. Work shopping. But it doesn't come across well. It doesn't work. And it makes him seem pretentious. And that's not what you want the top baby face being. If they had a, the thing that would kill Cody is if they had a cool baby face that
Starting point is 02:26:42 people suddenly got behind. Like that's where I compare him to Bob Backlin. Bob Backland worked big time. And then once Snooka got there, it was over. He had another year or a half or so as champion. Didn't matter. Everything had changed. You had seen someone cooler.
Starting point is 02:27:01 There's no one like that right now. So Cody's safe. But if he keeps just doing this, I think you're going to have a problem. You know what? He seems like he represents the state to me. a statist. A state? What state? Yeah, the state of confusion anymore. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:27:18 You know, one of the, he's probably on the side of the big bankers. He's dressed like he owns like a nice building in the wild west. Like, what the fuck is the whole? What is the look? What is it? What is the look? P.T. Barnum, if he was a good looking tall, blonde man. But no, that's, that's the fashion. At the Coppa. Copa, Copa Cabana, the hottest spot north of Havana.
Starting point is 02:27:44 So that's what happened there, but there's a follow-up now because, you know, there's another part of this, another country need to be heard from. Kevin Owens has an issue with Cody. We're aware of this. There was the parking lot attack after the pay-per-view, and then last week he beat up, he being Owens, beat up Randy Orton in the parking lot for trying to go talk to Owens about being nicer to Cody. And so they showed some of that.
Starting point is 02:28:14 they had video from Owens in his car, shot with his phone, I assume. But, you know, Brian, maybe you know, because you're a young person who stays up with the hip cats and everything. I'm 44. Well, but you're hipper than I am. Well, yeah. And you're a bit of a hippie. What?
Starting point is 02:28:37 Why, when all the celebrities are phoning in some program on the video, why are they always sitting in their fucking car. Why can't, if they're using their phone can't, then their phone work in their fucking house? Well, I guess if you're going to do take after take, if you're sitting in your car, you don't have to worry about people. Sir, we're ready for you.
Starting point is 02:28:58 I don't know where they would be. I don't know where the scenario is taking place. What are you talking about it? I don't know, God damn it. But yeah, why is he in his car? It's not just this instance. It's you see this all the time. Somebody has some comment to make on the internet.
Starting point is 02:29:12 They're doing it from their car. somebody has a call-in spot on a news program is there the phone in the car why is everybody in the car when they suddenly have these epiphanies of how to do this commentary they can't be in the house they can't be sitting in a fucking chair i don't understand is there something about the young people speaking from their car is that like the cone of silence or some kind of confessional where you can speak you can only speak the truth if you're in the car is he at home then what's he doing sitting out in his driveway
Starting point is 02:29:54 maybe he's at home he doesn't want to be around his family well the promo is they told me to stay home then not come to smackdown but he's sitting in his car so he's obviously he didn't stay home he went somewhere where he's about to go somewhere that's great maybe he told his wife that nothing happened everybody's fine I'm going to work
Starting point is 02:30:11 I can't tell her I got told to stay home from Smackdown and he's just hanging out of his car for the night. Well, I'll tell you what, if he wants that old deal to work or anybody, hey, honey, I'm going to work tonight, I'll be back late. Remember to stop at the gas station bathroom on the way back and wet your tights and shit, put him back in your bag, so elsewise, you can get found out. But anyway, Owen says it's ridiculous, it's unfair.
Starting point is 02:30:38 I've been told to stay home. Look at what we've seen guys do to each other again. And I'm the one that gets told to stay home, so all the chaos and the mayhem and the attacks and people hitting each other with fucking sledgehammers. He's exactly correct. He's raised the point we've raised. How can this be allowed to go on?
Starting point is 02:30:58 But he gets told to stay on because he dropped their golden boy. And he feels, and he's very low-key when he's saying all this, uncharacteristic of loud-mouthed steen. He feels underappreciated by, or unappreciated, by WWE.
Starting point is 02:31:15 He can't believe that Randy Orton betrayed him. He can't believe that Randy picked Cody over him. And he was saying, I'm just the way I feel about this. I don't know when or if I can come back. So right then I wrote it sounds like he's resigned already. Do you think is the, you know, we've been talking about is he going to go play with his friends for millions of dollars from the, you know, wrestling version of Richie rich or is he going to stay here and he's kind of dropped down the totem pole here,
Starting point is 02:31:48 but do you think they've made him a massive offer of millions of dollars and he's re-signed? Because why else would they be doing something where he's not even coming back for the near future? This is, this is, that looks like a red herring to make a mark think that's the way they're writing him out. We'll see. I mean, again, if it's going to expire early next year, you've got a few months to get some value out of him. But the other thing is, if he resigns, you know, we know what it will be.
Starting point is 02:32:23 But it's hard to say no to the amount of money Tony's willing to throw at Kevin Owens. Well, and they had Orton in the back after this. Because make no mistake, he's willing to throw a ton of money at Kevin Owens. Oh, yeah, because of, you know, he's a friend of the friends. But they had Orton in the back with Aldus, this is another... clue of it may take longer or be drawn out more. Orton wants Aldous to make the match with him and Owens,
Starting point is 02:32:52 but Aldous can't do it. And Orton starts arguing with him. You see, you're not listening to what I'm saying. I can't do it. This is coming from the top. And that's when Randy says, well, then I know who I need to talk to. And I'm assuming it's not Moxley.
Starting point is 02:33:10 So it's probably he's going to have to talk to Triple H, is he not? And would that not be another development that might prolong this thing a little bit? It's obviously not going to happen in Saudi Arabia, but I would think Survivor Series, right? Let's see where they go with this. It's Triple H or I guess it technically could be the rock or Nickom, but Triple H is the only one that would make sense storyline-wise. We'll see where this goes. That's an interesting little wrinkle there that they can't make the match because they're not allowed to.
Starting point is 02:33:43 well yeah and and here's the thing i don't think they're going to go to nick con because they haven't established him as a person that anybody goes to on camera for anything or whatever and i don't believe they'd use the rock on this so i think it has to be triple h but we shall see whether or not we get this and when it is and then we had another triple threat match uh waller in theory and the Lucha Heels and the debuting Motor City Machine Guns, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. And I like those kids.
Starting point is 02:34:25 I worked with them at T&A 15 years ago. I hesitate saying anything good about anybody again because you never know what people have been up to. But nice, dedicated young men. They look great physically. They're in shape. I look forward to watching them in an actual real match where I could tell something about whether anybody can do anything or not.
Starting point is 02:34:47 But they won this one, so apparently they're not in there just to be chopped liver. But somebody did mention when Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin just made their WWE debuts at the ages of, I think they said 41 and 42 or 41 and 43, and when Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, the Rock and Roll Express made their WWF debuts in 1993, they were 35 and 37. That's crazy for me to believe that Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton were younger then than I am now.
Starting point is 02:35:30 Yes. That's crazy. Yes, they were. And again, you know, guys start late these days. They're in their early mid-20s by the time they even start in a business, so you don't think that they're as old. time passes more slowly when nobody's having any fun. But,
Starting point is 02:35:49 WWE bringing in an established tag team that has never done anything in WWE but has been around for over 10 years, what does that tell you about what they're thinking about their tag team division? I think in this case, they also potentially may see something in Shelley and Sabin as far as maybe transitioning them to, That's a bad connotation these days, but with an eye toward them becoming agents, because they're of that age now that they can do all this stuff in the ring,
Starting point is 02:36:26 but also they can communicate with the, hopefully with the younger generation, and they can also understand where the, what's the word I'm searching for? the old folks are coming from the the old age home retirement home the the nut house not what you stop and I'm talking about the office but I mean the that's what I meant the previous generation the man the establishment that's the one I was searching for the fuzz the establishment they can talk to the executives but they could also talk to the young people. So maybe they can be a conduit.
Starting point is 02:37:12 That's probably what they're looking at also, I would think, or hope. Alex Shelley is one of those guys. And again, I know they're not big guys. But Alex Shelley always had an interesting look and an interesting charisma. I was always amazed or surprised, I guess, that he never did more. Because it seemed like for a while, TNA was trying to do stuff with him before they were a tag team. I remember him doing stuff like Nash. they were using them with top guys
Starting point is 02:37:38 and I don't know there was something about him that was unique and it never really went too far it seemed like well hold on here there was the problem they were doing something with Nash Nash had a deal either he was hurt and couldn't work or had convinced them that it would be better
Starting point is 02:37:52 if he didn't work and did this I don't know but he was working with the cruiserweight X division whatever the fuck the the young guys the same six guys that they would beat in revolving fashion every week that were the X division. But Nash was supposedly giving him advice and trying to mentor them and work with him or whatever.
Starting point is 02:38:18 What it was was a way for him to talk and get on TV without taking any bumps or doing anything. And it just, Shelley was the most entertaining guy in that group. I think that's why you might remember him with Nash, but there were others in there as well. and it never did anything for them and they never went anywhere after that. Because shit stain didn't give two hoots about whether they did anything with those guys or not. And Jeff had just put them in a position,
Starting point is 02:38:48 honestly, where they were just supposed to have the video game match and a different guy would win every week. So it was just blah. But the guns as a team, they did stuff with the Dudleys and they were quite accomplished at one point and the tag team ranks there, but that was 2008, I guess.
Starting point is 02:39:11 So it's been a while. But good Lord, they're better than some of the people were looking at these days. And then Bailey and Naomi wrestled the refrigerator and Candy Laroo, and Candy Laroo actually got the win for their team. Boy, what a contest that was.
Starting point is 02:39:33 Did you have any thoughts on that contest? No, I skipped it. Oh, so, yeah, basically that was the bloodline with several, you know, long commercial breaks for wrestling matches. Well, that was Smackdown. Yes, it was, and I'll tell you what, honestly, I'm betting it next week is the same thing. Is there such a, will they let you bet on sure things if you know that such and such can't miss, there's no way. it's not going to happen. Put the money on it.
Starting point is 02:40:09 Bet the farm, as they say, don't buy the farm, bet the farm. If it's just something, a foregone conclusion like that, I bet you our friends at Draft King's sportsbook would still let you bet on something like that, wouldn't they, Brian? They would let you do something, certainly,
Starting point is 02:40:26 and it may even be aligned with some of the things you say, yes. Well, that's a definitive declarative statement, and I'm glad that you've made it crystal clear, but folks, I'll tell you what, if there's any ambiguity left on your part about what you can do, then download the Draft King's Sportsbook app
Starting point is 02:40:47 today. They're an official sports betting partner of the NBA and this National Basketball Association, or is it Alliance? National Basketball Alliance? It's an association. There is no alliance. Oh, so there's no alliance. honor among thieves. They associate, but they don't

Starting point is 02:41:50 it's an amazing thing they're thinking about having a contest at halftime not for dunking but face smashing you can bet I have not heard of this gentleman you can bet who gets their face smashed next in the NBA at Draft King's Sportsbook? And you can tell the people that are more prone to it because they have the flatter faces.
Starting point is 02:42:14 That may not be an actual thing, but there's lots of other things you can wager on with Draft Kings. Yes, there's things actual and otherwise that you can wager on at Draft Kings.

If you got a problem, don't call us, call them. The crown is yours, I guess, is what we're trying to say. Yes, that's what we're trying to say. Jim, we have some breaking news. Oh, geez. Oh, boy. I'm going to read you a tweet.
Starting point is 02:45:05 Uh-oh. That was sent out by Samantha Irvin. Oh, the ring-announcing young lady on the... Or ring-enouncer, as we call them. On the WWE. The ring-announcing young lady, or as we call them ring-enouncers. WWE universe, my time has come to an end as your Monday Night Raw ring announcer. Oh, no!
Starting point is 02:45:29 I love you all tremendously. and this does not mark the end of my art, I have a lifetime more to share, thank you to every W.W.E. fan who accepted me. To the women's locker room, you are the most incredible group of people on the face of this earth. I am beyond proud to be your colleague and friend. To the crew and cameramen,
Starting point is 02:45:55 I can't thank you enough for the encouragement, the laughs. You created such a wonderful, positive atmosphere for me. Love you all. To the WWE superstars, past and present. I have
Starting point is 02:46:11 thank you since 1989 and will continue to thank you for the rest of my days for entertaining us. This is starting to sound like either George M. Cohan's speech after his encore or the exit of MacArthur.
Starting point is 02:46:28 For raising the bar, over and over again for risking your bodies and finding new ways to keep us shocked and wanting more. There is no form of entertainment like this, and not just any entertainer, can be a WWE superstar. The respect I have for you is more than I can express. Except here, this tweet. Thank you.
Starting point is 02:46:54 Thank you for making it so easy to pour emotion and excitement into your introduction. I can't read. You are the stars that the stars idolize. It doesn't get any bigger, and I'm proud to have used my voice to let the world know it. Thank you, Paul Heyman, Michael P.S. Hayes, and Michael Cole. I will continue to apply what I learned from you.
Starting point is 02:47:23 She tweeted this, wait for what? To every aspect of my career. Thank you for invigorating my creative. Thank you Brian Rode dog, James, Scott Armstrong, Gabe Sapolsky, and George Carroll, Jr. for giving me my first opportunities to rise to the occasion. Thank you, Triple H, for trusting me and showcasing me on this platform. Thank you, Mark Henry, for giving me my big break. I hope I made you proud. Thank you to all the coaches, producers, medical, writers, talent relations, makeup, photography, social media, digital, travel department, catering, merch, 2K team, referees, security, and a announce team
Starting point is 02:48:19 for everything you did to help me along the way. To my fans, my entire career, I've been waiting for you. We are meant to be, and I can be. And I can be. prove it. Stay tuned. All my love. And still, Samantha. Well, what?
Starting point is 02:48:41 P.S., I'd also like to thank the rental car guy, catering Susan. What has happened? Why would they replace her? Is she leaving? Because, well, her husband's over on the other side now. But is that an issue? Or is, are they making a change on
Starting point is 02:49:01 purpose and why would they do that? No, they haven't got another one that's good as she is, do they? Based on this thank you that she sent out that she must have taken time to think about in craft. This is her decision. She's decided to leave WWE and leave Raw. Obviously, a lot of people are assuming she'll go to AEW because her fiancee has gone there.
Starting point is 02:49:29 But that's, you know, that's all. How many, how many juror? and interviewers they got over there. They have nonstop interview. Basically, if you are married to someone or date someone and you're a wrestler, you can get them to be an announcer in AEW or a commentator or an interviewer, whatever it may be. Now, look, she's the best ring announcer in a long time.
Starting point is 02:49:51 They have a really bad one in Justin Roberts. That would be a big improvement, but it's not like they're going to fire Justin Roberts. So then we'll just have another ring announcer. If she goes there. And again, she became a ring announcer. I believe she signed up originally to train to be a wrestler. And it didn't work out. And they made her a ring announcer.
Starting point is 02:50:13 And the way she's saying this, to my fans, my entire career I've been waiting for you, we are meant to be, and I can prove it, stay tuned, makes it sound that it could almost be something outside of this. Maybe she's going to release an album. You know, maybe who knows what. but a surprising move Samantha Irvin leaving WWE oh well
Starting point is 02:50:36 you know there's not that many things that we like so I hate when we lose one of the things that we do but what in the world do you like is that a good get for AEW if you're AEW and you can get the ring announcer who was just on all their major shows whose ring announcer I mean the way she did it became part of the story
Starting point is 02:50:56 the filming of her getting emotional and everything. Is that a good get for AEW? Yes, and no. They could also reanimate Frank Gotts and bring him back from the grave along with Luthes and get, you know, major motion picture stars also, but it's not going to translate the same.
Starting point is 02:51:19 Nobody gets over, nobody they get under. They can't figure out how to successfully capitalize on strong points that, you know, somebody, when they sign a star, they come in great, and within six weeks they're one of the boys or one of the girls. Or whatever has worked other places, has the shine and the steam taken off of it over there. So is it a great get? Well, she's done a great job as ring announcer.
Starting point is 02:51:53 Is it going to matter? Probably not. Is the show going to get any better? Who knows? They've had bigger hires that didn't get any better, it got worse. So, eh. Well, we will find out. But Samantha Irvin, again, like I said before, shocking, surprising to see this news today.
Starting point is 02:52:14 She's become very popular over the last year, especially. And I guess, you know, my entire career, I've been waiting for you for the fans. Obviously, she's really noticed the reaction she's gotten, and now she's going to try to do something with it, so we will see what happens there. Maybe, maybe she just wants to get out of the wrestling business entirely, and she wants to be a regular announcer. Maybe you could hire her over at the Arcadian Vanguard Network to host one of the programs. Well, I mean, I'm more than willing to have a conversation.
Starting point is 02:52:49 I'm not going to negotiate in public with you as her representative. That seems a big case. Well, I might just have her best interests at heart. I don't think she understands what you're doing behind her back. No, I wouldn't. I will speak about you with the comments. Well, if she bothered to look over her shoulder, she'd know what I'm doing behind her back.
Starting point is 02:53:05 But maybe it's best she remains blissfully ignorant. Again, I don't even know where you're going right here. But ladies and gentlemen, find out where we've been every day with the wrestling news. Get it directly from the wrestling news.com. Available wherever you find your favorite podcast. No opinion. No conjecture. Just news.
Starting point is 02:53:24 Just the wrestling news. No paywall. clickbait, just the wrestling news. Wherever you find your favorite podcast, want to make mention of Stick the Wrestling with John McAdam. Again, a great look back at 40 years ago, 1984, so many things happening
Starting point is 02:53:38 in the WWE and around the overall wrestling world. Hear about them, makeadampod.com, or stick the wrestling with John McAdam, wherever you find your favorite podcasts, and of course, the 605 Super Podcast, The Mother ship! Wait. The hell is that?
Starting point is 02:53:57 Okay. You stumbled for once. I dropped my gimmick. Go through the archive today, 605Pod.com, available wherever you find, your favorite podcast. All righty. Well, before we go, ladies and gentlemen, we've got a couple of minutes left before our expiration of time, and we are going to do a segment here that we often do on Brian's program, the drive-thru, called Guess the Program.
Starting point is 02:54:21 and the premise is that Brian will take a program from his collection and read me the lineup and I am supposed to determine where it took place and what year it took place. And that is the premise of the piece and then hilarity and wrestling history follow, right, Brian? Something like that, yes, I believe so. Well, have you got the programs? I've got a bunch of programs. I'm trying to figure out an order. here. If you got the programs, I got the information. Well, we shall see about that. Let me start
Starting point is 02:54:58 with one that's a little more current. Let me open this. It actually has the ticket stubs in here with it. And there's no way to open it. What the fuck? Hold on. Who sealed this? There we go. There we go. Not everyone should seal everything. It usually works much more smoothly this bit. It usually does on my show, but again, this is not my show. It's a more professional production with all the same people. Then your show. Yes. Here we go.
Starting point is 02:55:29 Here is the lineup. I will start with the first event. Kelly Kinnisky versus Buck Rock and Roll Zumhoff. Okay. The second event, Cripler Rip Oliver from New York versus Iceman King Parsons. Uh-huh. The third event for an unnamed. named title.
Starting point is 02:55:51 The champions, the Fantastics, Tommy Rogers and Bobby Fulton, City of Angels versus Challengers, Midnight Express. Bobby Eaton and Dennis Condry of New York. Yeah, they were New York crazy
Starting point is 02:56:06 down there in that program office. The fourth event, a lumberjack style match. Kevin Von Erick versus Chris Adams. An intermission. The fifth event. all six men in the ring elimination match
Starting point is 02:56:23 losers leave town the freebirds of Terry Gordy Buddy Roberts and Chick Donovan versus General Scandar Akbar the missing link and Mr. X
Starting point is 02:56:40 somehow I don't remember that match at all yeah the main event I'm sorry for a championship I will not name. The champion Rick Flair of Minnesota versus the challenger Carrie von Erick Denton County.
Starting point is 02:56:58 Then it's an intermission. The seventh event. Jose Lafario versus El Diablo. And finally, the eighth event, Sunshine in the corner. Mike Von Erick and Billy Jack from the North
Starting point is 02:57:17 versus with Nicola in the corner, Gino Hernandez and Jake the Snake Roberts. I am thinking that that was the card on New Year's Eve 1984 in Fort Worth, Texas, where Flair and Carrie had that horrible match where they had to find Carrie out in his car in the cattle shoot.
Starting point is 02:57:49 But now wait, they did an hour Broadway, and that's a lot of matches to do an hour. And you know what? I don't remember the Fantastics and the Midnight being, working against each other on the underneath of that card. Could that have been the same week, potentially in San Antonio with the Joe and Harry, Freeman Coliseum, but it was the
Starting point is 02:58:22 Instead of New Year's Eve, it was the first week of January 1985. That is the time period, the last week of December or the month of January 1985 and I don't think
Starting point is 02:58:40 it's the Sportetorian in Dallas, because I don't remember Flair being there at that point. So I've got to go with either San Antonio or Fort Worth on New Year's Eve. The building reunion arena. Son of a bitch.
Starting point is 02:59:01 Christmas Star Wars. Christmas Wrestling Star Wars. God damn it. You went right past Christmas the New Year's. Well, because I didn't remember that be it, Flair and Carrie being, and that was the main event. It's not like they put the tag match on last or whatever, but I didn't know, remember Flair and Carrie doing Christmas night
Starting point is 02:59:23 and then rematching in Fort Worth that quickly on New Year's Eve. That's what threw me off. All right, so we're starting well here. So I was a week away and I was only 35 miles away, but I was in the wrong building. And by the way, also, I'd like to register that I had 102 degree fever that night. I really did. That's what they said about Carrie within the match in Fort Worth. worth. But I'd gotten sick and been sick for a week here at home and had to fly down to Dallas
Starting point is 02:59:57 and do that show at Reunion Arena with a fever and a horrible fucking cold or whatever and throwing the temper tantrum. After we lost our first major show in the territory, which was a sign of things to come, I almost had a fucking, I almost passed out. I've got damn nearly had a stroke and then I came home and laid in bed for the next week until the day before New Year's, I had to drive to Dallas, and I stopped on the side of the road and threw up twice. So I don't remember what the fuck was going on.
Starting point is 03:00:32 That must have been tough for Flair, because he had so many matches with Kerry and so many classics with Carrie. Have you watched some of the Mid-South House show footage for me? Oh, yeah. Just great stuff. But he never knew what he was going to get. There was no consistency.
Starting point is 03:00:45 It wasn't like, I have nothing to worry about tonight. Every night, Flair had the worry if Kerry was going to be in a condition to do anything. At least at that point, in 84, 85, yeah. Yeah, and sometimes it was a crapshoot. But anyway, all right, I've warmed up now. All right, we got our next card here, Jim. The opening event, Billy Rayburn versus Monty Laudeau. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 03:01:17 The second event, one fall to a finish. Danny Savage versus Texas tornado Jack Curtis. The third event. The third and fourth event are both best two out of three falls. The official referee for both main events. The greatest of them all, Ed Strangler Lewis, assisted by Jack Gott. I won't say what town that is.
Starting point is 03:01:47 The two main events, Jesse James versus Angelo Savaldi, and Al Alexander versus Al Galento. Ooh, Al Spider Galento, who had a hand in, was a big heel in the Memphis territory before it became the, even before it was owned by Goulos and Welch, and had a hand in training Tommy Gilbert. So, Monty Ladoo was a guy that spent a lot of time in the Amarillo, West Texas area in the late 40s, early 50s. I think when Dean Denton was still the promoter out there, right, before Dory Funk Sr.
Starting point is 03:02:37 Jack Curtis, obviously, that would have been, God, very very. Very early on in his career, he would probably been in his rookie years. Jack Curtis, the son of George Culkin, who was the Mississippi promoter for so long. Strangler Lewis, everybody knows. Jesse James was a journeyman from the 50s through the 70s. Which Savoldy was this? Angelo? This was Angela, Savoldy.
Starting point is 03:03:13 And let me just also say double main events are finish matches tonight. yes and that means there's no time limit it's one fall to a finish one another there were two out of three falls but it also says they are well that's okay then no time limit then it doesn't matter how long it takes they go to the finish um i've got to think this is west texas and i've got to think this is the very early 50s probably um amarillo 1952 i'm not going to narrow down any more than that. The Stockyard City Coliseum, Oklahoma City. Ah! Wednesday, November 2nd, 1949. All right, so I was three years off and about 500 miles. The greatest of them all, Ed, and there's a picture of Ed Strangler, Lewis, it just says Ed here.
Starting point is 03:04:13 Ed will be with us tonight to referee the main event. Mr. Lewis is devoting his time and money to benefit boys. work, clubs, etc. Tonight, as his guests at the ringside,
Starting point is 03:04:28 as his guests at the ringside, that is, at the ringside, will be the kids from the Taylor Boys Home, police department boys club,
Starting point is 03:04:35 and the YMCA crippled children. So there you go. Ed Schrenglego was 1949. It's not like he's following Fez around here.
Starting point is 03:04:44 Well, he hadn't got that spot yet. That's why I was thinking it was probably the early 50s at least because that's when
Starting point is 03:04:51 they started using him to go with, uh, Thiz. All right, let me give you an easy one. Let me give you an easy one. Oh, now you're condescending now. Well, easy for you. Easy for you, not easy for the late name. Well, that's easy for you to say. I'm opening this one.
Starting point is 03:05:05 I have not re-boarded this one yet, which I need to do. So this will be the only time I do this. Here is the card. A challengers match. Sam Plotania versus Charlie Carr. Oh my God. Adrian Belarjaron
Starting point is 03:05:25 Belerjan. Every time I get it wrong. Versus Tex Riley. A special event, a ladies match, one fall, one hour time limit. Nell Stewart versus Millie Stafford.
Starting point is 03:05:43 For the World Junior Heavyweight Championship, Angelo Savaldi versus Lee Fields, two out of three falls, 60-minute time limit. There'll be an intermission, at which point lucky numbers will be announced, and the main event,
Starting point is 03:06:02 or one of the double main event, because you had a World Junior Heavyweight Championship match, a grudge match, two out of three falls, no time limit, Billy Wicks versus Sputnik Monroe. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Okay, well, we're in Memphis.
Starting point is 03:06:19 and Sam Plotania would later on go on to be a long-time referee for Goulos Welch, but he, at the time, this would be either mid to late 1959 or early 1960. He was, I think he actually wrestled amateur and they had, you know, picked him up along the way. car was a long-time Tennessee baby face and was thought well of. Belerzian was one of the Belersian brothers. Were there five? But they were bodybuilders and did strongman feats and they were French-Canadian. And a cousin Lance.
Starting point is 03:07:10 Yes, and cousin Lance, Lance Belersian. Tex Riley was one of the all-time biggest baby faces in Tennessee wrestling. whether it be Nashville, Knoxville, or Memphis. The girls were obviously well thought of at the time. Those were names. Savoldi was the junior heavyweight title. Lee Fields is a member of the Fields family, the fields and the Hatfields that were the cousins of the Fullers and Welch's
Starting point is 03:07:39 that ran the Gulf Coast down in Mobile, Alabama, and that territory. And obviously, Billy Wicks and Sputnik Monroe was the biggest drawing program in the history of Memphis wrestling for that period of time, and that's why I say this has to be one of the Memphis cards where they wrestled probably before the Gilmore Field match. So unless this was a reprise afterwards the next year,
Starting point is 03:08:14 I don't have the Memphis record book in front of me. I'm going to say fall 1959. Memphis, Tennessee, April 6th, 1959. All right. Well, you know, fall comes early down south. Billy Wicks v. Sputnik-Monroe, the match of the year. Demanded by you, fans, who have watched and listened to these two men battle each other with words on the Saturday TV program over Channel 5.
Starting point is 03:08:48 Promoter Buddy Fuller worked out contracts with both men this week for the match that has all the indications of being the best ever seen here. Both have called each other yellow over television and actually have been anxious for the match. Wicks is a 210-pounder from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Monroe, a 12-pounder from Wichita, Kansas, the best two out of three falls with a 90-minute time woman. So this is the start of everything with Easton. Yeah, that's the start of the program. And notice they said Channel 5, a lot of people are going to say,
Starting point is 03:09:33 well, wait a minute, they went to Channel 5 when Jarrett split off from Goulis in 1977, but the first couple of years that Memphis Wrestling had gone back on television in 1957, that's when Buddy Fuller, Roy Welch, and they took it over out of the Nashville office, they sent Buddy Fuller down there, they got TV, and they
Starting point is 03:09:55 soon after picked up Lance Russell and Sputnik Monroe, and that was the magic combination, but they were on Channel 5 for the first couple of years, and then went to 13, where that they prospered after that. It says here, wrestling news on radio and TV,
Starting point is 03:10:15 fans who would like to keep up with the wrestling news may listen to the Matt news on radio and television during the week. WMCT, Jack Eaton announces the card to the Jack's World of Sports on Wednesday or Thursday night, 10.15 p.m., Saturday, from 5 to 6 p.m., one hour of live wrestling with interviews from the participating wrestlers. K-W.A.M. Dave Hill, ring announcer, at the auditorium matches, interviews wrestlers from 12 noon to 3 p.m.
Starting point is 03:10:53 During the week whenever the wrestlers are in town. Monday, stay tuned to K-W-A-M, or K-W-M, I guess, for lots of wrestling news. And finally, WHHM announces card on sports program and on Wednesday night on party line. we will call in to let you fans know who will be on the card next week. And also it has here
Starting point is 03:11:20 live wrestling on TV every Saturday, every Saturday afternoon. Interesting. Every Saturday afternoon from 5 to 6 p.m., tune in to Channel 5 to see the world's greatest professional wrestlers in action. If you'd like to attend, in person, send the self-address stamped envelope
Starting point is 03:11:38 to promoter Buddy Fuller, room 132, Chiska Hotel. tickets are limited and are issued on a first come, first serve basis. If you do not receive your tickets the week you write in, be patient as they are being worked on as fast as possible. And also the wrestling office was always in a hotel. In every Nick Goulis in Nashville had the Sam Davis Hotel and different hotels through the years. and, you know, even the Holland Hotel for Tutsmont
Starting point is 03:12:13 and, you know, that gang in New York back in those days. And also, oh, what you'd meant? Oh, Jack Eaton was the original wrestling host on Channel 5 because he was the sports guy, Big Jack Eaton. He was the guy that hosted the sports on the news, and he was the first one there before they settled in with Lance. Well, it's interesting, too, to think about the idea that if you were a wrestling fan, there was, you know, not a lot of wrestling TV shows, but there was a lot of wrestling content.
Starting point is 03:12:46 You had to listen to the radio. You got local promos in between, I guess, the songs, right? Yeah, well, and also... That's crazy. In between the songs, you got local promos from 12 to 3 once a week? Yeah, well, they'd have one of the guys come in and sit down for a while and one of the other guys, and after, you know, a couple of records, they'd come to them, hey, so Monday night, blah, blah, blah. And I've mentioned this even in the 80s.
Starting point is 03:13:08 I would rush back to Memphis on Friday night from wherever the spot show was or Tupelo or whatever so I could get the early edition of the morning paper right there on Summer Avenue. It came out to the paper box at the shopping center. About 1 o'clock in the morning, you'd have an early edition of the morning paper, and that would have the card for Monday night. So before I got to TV on Saturday morning, Friday night late, I could find out what the fuck I was doing on Monday night.
Starting point is 03:13:40 Because that's, it was a weekly town. It's not like they were giving you cards weeks out. And then it might be a false booked card because if they were going to do an angle on TV on Saturday morning and change the match, they would put in a false booked main event, so-and-so versus so-and-so. And they would announce that card at the top of the program. That's the one that would have been in the newspaper ad. then the angle happens
Starting point is 03:14:08 and they changed the goddamn match so people believed it because they know well it was in the ad they were going to have a whole another match anyway all right Jim a couple more here before we wrap things up this week it is your show this one where's the card here we go
Starting point is 03:14:29 opening event Anton Leonie versus Ivan Jones one fall 20 minute time limit The preliminary, one fall 20-minute time limit, Pat McGill versus Chris Zaharius. Good Lord. And the main event, is it one main event or two main events? Oh, no, excuse me. I hope you're going to give me more to go on.
Starting point is 03:14:54 Special handicap attraction. The blimp agrees to throw both men a fall apiece within 20 minutes. The blimp, weight 640 pounds, versus Roberto Pico, and Okie Shikima, which is the way it's spelled it. Well, the way it's spelled here, Shikima. And the main event, two out of three falls,
Starting point is 03:15:19 one hour time limit for the world's heavyweight championship, the champion Dave Levin versus the Golden Angel. Oh, boy. Okay, this is probably a feffer promotion.
Starting point is 03:15:39 uh Anton Ripper Leone would later on in the 70s he ran towns and was a promoter for Roy Shire in the San Francisco Bay Area and then later on did his own thing when he was on the outs with Shire
Starting point is 03:15:56 Ivan Jones may have been the illegitimate loved child of Paul Jones and Ivan Koloff I'm not and I'm not sure about Pat McGill Chris Zaharius goddamn now I keep... He's the brother.
Starting point is 03:16:11 Well, I keep mixing up because Babe Zaharius was Babe Diderickson who married George Zaharius, but Chris Zaharius was a brother, but there was also a Babe Zaharius that was a guy. There really wasn't a member
Starting point is 03:16:25 of the Saharis family, per se, but used the name. Martin the Blimp Levy was one of the guys along with the or Levy or Levy or Levy or which L-E-V-Y. Yeah, everyone I know with that name and I grew up around a bunch of kids, it's Levy, they were at least pronounced Levy.
Starting point is 03:16:51 Okay. Well, and they wore Levi's, so you can see the confusion. But Martin the Blimp was a Feffer creation that was big, especially in the mid-late 40s because he would wrestle the, Maurice Talley, the French Angel and the freak match and a lot of the guys were in the service so that main evented for a while drew money
Starting point is 03:17:19 because of the sideshow aspect of it. Roberto Pico was a guy that wrestled in these days and this is the original Oki Shikina. There was a Oki Shikina in the 70s that wrestled a lot in the South but that wouldn't be him because
Starting point is 03:17:36 this would be in the late 1940s. And the world title, Dave Levin, was the world champion that Feffer propped up for a while because he had wins over some of the other guys that at one point or another
Starting point is 03:17:52 had been recognized champion. And I've got a couple of the publicity posters that they had put out with Levin's case that he was making. And they were dated sometime in the late 40s. The Golden Angel is probably
Starting point is 03:18:08 because the French angel or the Swedish angel was booked. The golden angel, I will tell you this, the golden angel from the photo here is one of the future Bummy Rogers. Okay, so he wasn't even really... Maybe the original Bummy Rogers, actually. There wasn't anything wrong with him. He was just a regular-looking fella. He wasn't an angel with a glandular problem.
Starting point is 03:18:32 Looks like a man wearing a cape or whatever it is. So, I mean, positioning-wise, location-wise, boy, howdy, maybe I'm just going to say somewhere in the Northeast in 1947. Ooh, so close. Monday, September 16th, 1946. Ah. Mammoth Gardens, Denver, Colorado. Denver, Colorado. Good Lord.
Starting point is 03:19:06 Okay, baby. Well Zaharius was on the card. They used to call George Zaharius when he was a heel, the crying Greek from Cripple Creek. Here's a picture of Dave Levin, World's heavyweight champ and junior heavyweight champ, Dave Levin, the wonder boy of wrestling, willing to defend his title against any other claimant
Starting point is 03:19:27 to the world's title. And that was the move, right? Just all of a sudden saying you have a champion. Yeah. My guy's willing to take on Joe Stecker. It's just he's not here. You know, I understand that the champion of garbage championship wrestling in Poughkeepsie, New Jersey is willing to face Cody Rhodes anytime, any place, anywhere. For the record, Poughkeepsie has nothing to do with New Jersey. Don't try that, buddy.
Starting point is 03:19:51 The promotion is Rocky Mountain Sports Enterprises, the matchmaker, I got to get this right, Bill Jellofy, the commissioners, and it lists the commissioners here, the chief inspector, Harry Walls, The referees, Dan Darnell and Jack Bloom, Timekeepers, announcer Sam Siegel, two physicians, the chief of ushers, Matt Meach, the organist, Marion Schultz,
Starting point is 03:20:23 and finally, the doorman, the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Yeah, and you know what? A lot of these people, they're friends of the promoter, or they hang around and they get to do these jobs, and it was a big deal to me,
Starting point is 03:20:37 mention, you know, their names into programs, so they like that kind of thing. Coming next week, world's most colorful wrestler, magnificent Buddy Rogers, the Atomic Blonde. Wow. Rogers has posted $500 that he could beat the blimp in 30 minutes or forfeit the $500. It's a tough job, but Rogers says he can do it. How about that?
Starting point is 03:21:06 And that, that, that, that would be his first run as a heel as the Nature Boy, or not him, sorry, not even as the, but as the atomic blonde, because 1945, the atomic bomb was all over the news, and that's when he became the atomic blonde before he was even known as Nature Boy Buddy Rogers, correct? I believe so. So that would be like the first few months he was doing it. Coming soon, and I may get this wrong, Pierre Lesartis, French Underground Hero.
Starting point is 03:21:49 I have no idea who that is. Well, he was a hero of the French Underground. And then here's a couple of pictures of the Blimp. Blimp weighing in at New York Madison Square Garden. The eighth wonder of the world, the blimp. 640 pounds, the only one alive. You must see the human monster. Well, you didn't see a lot of 600-something-pound guys in those days
Starting point is 03:22:16 because they didn't have my 600-pound life on the fucking learning channel or whatever. All right, let me go to another one here. This will be... One more, this is my last one, baby. I'm going to come in. I'm going to finish strong. All right, I'm going to give you one that's kind of in your wheelhouse in a sense, in a generational sense.
Starting point is 03:22:33 the opening bout John Conjory versus Hero Matsuda and it looks like they may have made it a tag bout Bubba Douglas and John Conjee versus Hero Matsuda and Professor Sonata Cocoa, filling in for Jerry Briscoe against Gordon Nelson
Starting point is 03:22:57 the Outlaw Deaton Brothers versus Charlie Cook and Sweet Brown sugar. Wait a minute, hold on now. Charlie Cook and sweet brown sugar who was Skip Young. And who's the brother of Joel Deaton there? Was it, uh, what was his gimmick brother's name? Carlos? It would, oh, come on. It wasn't, Vernon Deaton was one of the job guys from South Carolina that worked with Kroga, but the Deaton brothers. I can't remember. $5,000 challenge bout. El Gran Apollo versus Buzz Soy, Okay.
Starting point is 03:23:37 $1,000 bounty match. Tommy Gilbert versus the Sheik. Okay. Jack Briscoe versus Assassin Number 1. And the final bout lights out Texas death match. Mike Graham versus Dory Funk Jr. Well, we are in Florida, obviously. and the year I'm going to be pretty certain of is 1981.
Starting point is 03:24:13 John Condry, I don't know who that is. Do you even remember? I don't know who that is, no. No. You know, you would think it might be related to Dennis, except he's not. Bubba Douglas was the honorary mayor of Lakeland, Florida, the big happy-go-lucky black guy that they used for years down there as a local mid-card baby-face people loved him.
Starting point is 03:24:42 Hero Matsuda obviously is a legend and worked in the Florida office by this point. And Sonada, didn't he have some kind of gimmick later on Sonata? Did he become... That's not Kendo Nagasaki, no. No. I don't think so. I'm not sure, though. He worked there a bit. Coco Samoa
Starting point is 03:25:05 is the guy who wrestled in Memphis in 1983, or 82, I'm sorry, as Sabu the Wild Man before the Sabu that everybody knows today, the Sheeks' nephew, was around. He was
Starting point is 03:25:22 a baby face in Florida, but he was a wild heel because he was a Samoan guy, very short but like a snooka-like body. Gordon Nelson was, again, a long-time Florida talent and worked in the office at various points and was a shooter that could stretch you from asshole to appetite. We mentioned the Detons. Charlie Cook was a former, I don't know if he played in the NFL,
Starting point is 03:25:52 but he had some type of football background gimmick and Sweet Brown Sugar was Skip Young under the mask Sonato was the Magic Dragon. That's right, the Magic Dragon. The boys called him Puff. But Sugar, Skip Young, he used that and then they used it for Cocoa Ware in Memphis because it turned out good and they did,
Starting point is 03:26:20 who was first? sweet brown sugar in Florida taking the mask or Rocky Johnson being sweet ebony diamond in the Carolinas? I think sweet brown sugar would have been first because I think Rocky Johnson was 82, wasn't he? Probably because I was seeing him do that right before I got in a business and I was still going to some of the matches in Cincinnati. 81, 82? Yeah.
Starting point is 03:26:43 I mean, it's around the same time, yeah. How come every gimmick that was successful for a black wrestler ended up on Coco within a couple of years? Staggerly because Laller loved Coco and he was always trying to book him and make something different because you know
Starting point is 03:26:58 same guy, same place for so long same thing with Plowboy Frazier El Gran Apollo was a real good looking kid that I think was from Cuba or you know I'm trying to remember but they got him over as one of the top baby faces in this time period
Starting point is 03:27:17 and this was early heel, Buzz Sawyer. Tommy Gilbert was down there at that point because I think he had probably just left Tennessee and that's where he went, Eddie, at that point. I believe, is that when Eddie started his run in the WWWF?
Starting point is 03:27:38 Or they were WWF by that point. When he got in that, ended up when he got in that car wreck. But he was up there to be the protege of Bob Backlin. so Tommy was a single down here. I believe that's the way it happened. The Sheik was coming in and out of Florida at that point because he had very few options and was not getting booked by a lot of people.
Starting point is 03:28:07 And I remember it'd be an odd because of his age at that point. He was closing on 60. And Florida was a different kind of territory that normally, how did Thess put it, Brooke the Sheik's foolishness. Hey, since you mentioned it, I'll tell you, I found it here. Gentlemen, Jim Kent is managing Joel and David Deaton.
Starting point is 03:28:31 That's okay. David Deaton was a Deaton there in name only. He didn't continue, I don't think. And Jimmy Kent was a longtime Tennessee manager. He was from, I believe he originally, the Chattanooga area, and he managed the bounty hunters for so long. but anyway the Sheik, I don't know who the bounty was on.
Starting point is 03:28:53 I don't know whether the bounty was on Tommy Gilbert or the Sheik was going for, I don't know what's happening. But Jack Briscoe and the assassin number one, that would have been Jody Hamilton. And Mike Graham and Dory Funk Jr., I think we know who they are. And I've got to believe it's 1981 and we're in Florida. And I'm wondering because of the number of matches one two three four
Starting point is 03:29:20 five six six it's got to be a bigger town is the card big enough for the bayfront center in st petersburg i don't actually think so i could be wrong but at the same point would this be
Starting point is 03:29:39 in the in a bigger town in the north end of the state like jacksonville or down south in miami beach let's go with me Miami Beach, by God, 1981. How's that? Tuesday, July 21st,
Starting point is 03:29:56 1981, 8.30 p.m. You didn't guess the time, so I'm not going to give your credit. Fort Hesterly Armory, Tampa, Florida. God damn it. God damn it. It wasn't a St. Petersburg Bayfront Big Show, but it was big enough for
Starting point is 03:30:13 Tampa. There's a few interesting ads in here, one of them, for the best deal in real estate called Ronald C. Reed. And then in quotes, Buddy Colt Realt Realtter Associate. He is
Starting point is 03:30:26 with Tambay Realty. And then obviously Brisco Brothers Body Shop with the one that really stands next I've never seen this before. Custom T-shirts
Starting point is 03:30:40 by Marty 2. And it appears to be a picture of a pre-funk Marty Funk and some other girl wearing a Mike Graham's shirt, Marty wearing the Brisco Brothers Body Shop, Briscoe Brothers Body Shop, sweet brown sugar, Steve Kern, $6 plus $1 postage,
Starting point is 03:31:01 color picture shirts of Steve, Mike Graham, and other favorites, $10 plus postage, Marty, too, and has an address in Ocala, or Ocala, I guess I should say, Ocala, Florida. We have found Marty's previous occupations. occupation. And Dory Funk's on the card. This may have been when she met Dory. Well, I'm pretty sure she probably already knew Dory at this point in time.
Starting point is 03:31:29 She may have known Steve Kern, too. Are you talking in the biblical sense? What are you trying to say here? She has his T-shirts. She has his T-shirts, obviously. She didn't physically remove them from his body. I said she must have known him. If she's selling Steve Kern color shirts, not even just shirts, but color.
Starting point is 03:31:48 She must know the guy. That's all I'm saying. Well, I could be selling my own used panties. Are you doing that again? Because I heard people that got shut out last time. No, I'm still wearing them. Well, that was guest to program featuring the human monster and so much more. But it's your show.
